Peter Sagal so cool! Seen you at Twood several times. Such production values to get a tape right. When your guests are cut ups, even funnier but takes longer. You’re the best comic yourself!!

We have a cabin at Tanglewood, and after adopting our mostly silent 2-yo then 4yo daughter, our 8yo son took her to the bushes at the edge to play. He came back. I said, “Where is Elena?” “ We played hide-and-seek and I couldn’t find her.” I said “let me get this straight” to my pretty-bright son. “You played hide-and-seek in a crowd of 10,000 here at Twood?” I stayed calm, went and she right in the middle of where they were playing. She is pretty bright too. Nice crowd and we are also lucky!
