I partook in the Great Debate again this year, which is a great fundraiser run by the Rotary Club in Hilliard, Ohio. Four pro-Michigan debaters battle four Buckeye debaters to see who can win the argument before “the Game.” Since it’s in the greater Columbus area, guess who always wins. This year, I was asked to take on the role of closer for the Michigan Wolverines. I duct taped a vomit bag to my chin and began writing.
It’s a task beyond the fact I like Ohio State – Michigan is 5-6 right now. They’ve lost a player due to domestic violence, their athletic director got canned, and if their coach doesn’t get fired, I’ll shave a block M in my ass if he makes it through the year. I thought of some really good jokes about useless the team is this year, then I remembered I’m on that team in the debate. However, from doing comedy, I have learned to enjoy being hated by the crowd at times and it’s a fun challenge, so I was happy to do it and will be doing it again next year also.
Here’s the audio link – hopefully video is coming soon, but this is what I did this year.

Great job at the Great Debate! Also, I like how your blog links to your MySpace page.
According to MySpace, I have no “concerts” coming up. I need to fire my agent.
