"I just don't feel like the podcast is a vehicle for me to shine, or even lightly glow."Dan Naturman's resignation email, read on air in the episode where he comes back - which only happened because Periel booked two different Daniels for the same day and neither one showed up.Why did Dan quit, and what would make him stay? Did congestion pricing fail, or is an 11% drop in traffic just invisible from the driver's seat? What actually happened at the Comedy Cellar when wages went up 25%? And why does the Cellar charge $25 when the clubs around it charge $50? Noam and Dan agree on one thing: the Cellar is the cheapest game in town, and Noam isn't going to fix it.Also: Daniel Mendelsohn's Odyssey, the Asus Zenbook Duo, Comics Unleashed and Byron Allen, the Norm Macdonald documentary, Marc Maron, Gary Gulman, Chris Turner, Philip Roth and The Sopranos' Big Pussy, the new club's 2 a.m. litter summonses, the two-item minimum, Arizona iced tea's 99 cents, and Yohay Sponder at the Beacon.Dan Naturman performs at the Comedy Cellar whenever he's not on a cruise ship. Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen airs weeknights on CBS.
