Kris nerds out about comment spam
Not all the comments are on
I gotta shut those people down with their Ultra Canadian Pharmacy
What is wrong with you?
No one wants to hear that
It's just creative advertising, Kris
This is getting super interesting
You've dropped a lot of your nerdisms
You aren't weird around girls anymore
Just because people are turned in your general direction
Well, it doesn't mean that they are listening
Betsy breaks down her improv auditions
Betsy is freaking out
I told you how this would go
Did you bring your headshot and resume?
Right, my resume that says CEO of internet startup TheSmithMall on eBay
See, you didn't think that this was real work
No shit, it is competitive
It was valuable
I crossed it off with a china marking pen
It was pretty much like the Wheel of Fortune Chicago auditions
My sister told me not to wear my generic broken Crocs
I looked down and that's what I was wearing with no socks
That is prepared Betsy style
At that moment I didn't feel that together
A guy show up in a Simpsons t-shirt and a trench coat
I see that guy and hit the floor
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Another chick came in frazzled with watered down eyeliner
A totally Deep Fried Blonde (DFB)
That's their problem not mine
What age range can you play?
I just put 32
You're supposed to put what ages
Every time I fill out an app - White Hen, Hardees, Ben Franklin
I could have used you as a wing man
I have talked about Mike from Second City
You just prefaced it with that
Teaching there, holy shit
The fourteen stages of improv
It's all part of the shtick
Then they go through what we are going to do
I just want to go home and watch Desperate Housewives on dvr
What was your first car?
Chevy
What kind?
Silver
And they all started laughing
I wasn't trying to be funny
Now I gotta do these setups with strangers
It went well
You are in improv boot camp at The Comedy Shrine
Naperville is holding it down
I know Mr B . . . people across the country they have working toasters
The person in the chair is the mall information booth
I am always thinking of disposable goods
Where do they sell RID at the mall?
Betsy gets cut off
The person in front of me is the Deep Fried Blonde
Her teacher didn't come from Second City
She starts a god damn conversation with me
She wants to shine
All she was supposed to say was aisle three
I started behind the door
They said don't do that
"DFB," one word would be fine
Betsy, do someone foreign
You have to get creative
Foreign to Naperville is what I brought
I was way better on the way home
You are obsessing about this
I helped build you up
You are the most competitive person that I know
Betsy, you just have to stick with it
That is the key for you
I would think after 11 years of marriage you would know when to shut up
I am just wondering why to do this
The audition freaked me out
I knew I would be with professionals
While you are doing your audition I took the man to his doctors appointment
The nurse was treating him like he's managing his health care
Sure, like he set it up
He's lost weight and not grown
We've taught him some better eating habits
Here's a fruit party platter
She's leaving and asks him if their is anything else
He's talking non-stop
This is a lot less
"Elliot is there anything else you want to share," goes the nurse
"There is something else," Elliot
He looks right at me and says, "My mom says things to my dad that makes him really angry"
"She says really mean stuff," Elliot
Buddy, it might be a good idea to refrain
On the show, but he doesn't listen
Picking up probably on the hairy situation here in the house
Sure we all have stress and tension
Your mom and I are best friends
One of those moments
Then the kid asks, "Why am I in a foster home?"
Tomorrow, is the 3 YEAR CRONCAST ANNIVERSARY

Kris, I have bitten my tongue on numerous occasions when you dogged internet learning but today you talked about it again and I had to post a comment. I got an MBA from the University of Phoenix on the internet. Not everyone can physically go to school with family and jobs. Internet learning was my only option and I am thankful for it. I think its harder than a regular university because you have to have a lot of discipline to do the work on your own time. The only way ahead is through higher education, I wish you would quit knocking it.

Betsy go for the acting. I once interview a actor that told me that acting gets easier when your older. He told me that there are a million 18 blond bomb shells out there trying to make it. But it is harder to find actors in the 30+ range.
Have fun with it and just be yourself.

@Jan - I have two things to say.
1. You have my sincerest apology for upsetting you with this. See #2 for why.
2. We can make these types of jokes. We are insiders. Plus, it's an easy joke. Why?
Because nearly everyone believes internet degrees and distance education are not 'real' education.
I should know. I worked in distance education for fives years at the college and university levels. Within the system and from students the sentiment is that if the courses are not delivered face to face they are sub par.
The irony of what I said on the show and in the past is that I too have a degree, a BA, from an online school.
I received it two years ago while working two jobs and going to school online. It was tough.
"The only way ahead is through higher education, I wish you would quit knocking it." - agreed.
Without my JuCo AA and my online degree I wouldn't be where I am today and would not have been able to make any change in my family's future. Without them I would probably still be representing as 'Captain Pizza' making pizzas in a gas station.

I'm thinking that all college is a joke. Face to face or online. It's all just a big scheeme to empty my wallet.
