The Alex Show is off to a late start, because of a carbon monoxide scare in his studio (home).  About three minutes before the show was suppose to start at its regularly scheduled time of 10pm on Thursdays, all the alarms in the house started to buzz.  Alex aired out the house and waited, and waited, and waited.  Finally he called the fire department so they could figure out the problem.  Of course, the alarms stopped buzzing as soon as the fire truck pulled up to the house.  Alex is completely flustered…

Alex talked about the weird scenarios surrounding the almost perfect game for Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga.  With one out away in the bottom of the ninth, the first base ump blew a call that cost Galarraga the perfect game.  The runner was clearly out.  The ump apologized after the game, but Alex disagreed with the idea of MLB commissioner Bud Selig overturning the call.  The moment was then and that moment has passed.

Ken Griffey Jr. retired and Alex told a great story of Griffey making fun of a fan at a Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.  He was possibly the greatest “clean” baseball player in the past 50 years.

The Alex Show has its first guest ever and its comedian Dan Boulger.  Alex came across Dan’s comedy when he was using StumbleUpon.com (Alex’s StumbleUpon profile).  Alex loved his style and thought it was one of the best five minute acts he’s seen in a long time.  Alex talks to Dan about what it was like winning the 2006 Boston Comedy Festival and how he quit college the very next day. (Check out Dan’s Winning Set)

Dan and Alex also talk about the impact of the internet on comedy and is it hard to keep things fresh on stage.  Dan talks about dealing with hecklers and that his demeanor on stage normally keeps people off guard.
