Hi buddies,

It is your friend Max Silvestri here. What’s up with you? I turn 27 years YOUNG (old) on Saturday, which is, no doy, a completely meaningless age. Literally no one should be excited by that or for me. All of this means I have to really nail my birthday week. M.I.S.S. (make it special stupid)! So far so good. Today I got a really solid cold cut trio at Subway. While I was there a guy ordered a six inch sub, then also a three inch sub. The workers were confused, so he held up his hands to give them an idea of how big he was talking about. “I want it to be three inches long.” Yikes! So chill.

Come celebrate three-inchers and my birthday at this Wednesday’s BIG TERRIFIC.

Our guests:
KRISTEN SCHAAL (Flight of the Conchords)
JULIAN MCCULLOUGH (Comedy Central Presents)
JOE RANDAZZO (Editor, The Onion)
EDITH ZIMMERMAN (The Awl, NYMag.com)

And as always Gabe Liedman and I catfighting over which slow jam to warm the crowd up with. You’re the best!

There is a show tonight. No doy. It’s got me and Gabe Liedman along with Jesse Popp, Myq Kaplan, Ben Kronberg and Jason Trachtenburg. Come hang out! More info here.

Hi friends,

There’s no crying in baseball, but there’s also definitely no crying on Geena Davis’s birthday. She is very TALLented, right?? This week’s Big Terrific is a birthday party for Ms. Davis. Did you know that Geena is in MENSA and also tried out for the Olympic archery team? Of course you did. Literally everyone knows that. It is like the second thing they teach you in kindergarten. “There are 26 letters, don’t provoke bees, and Geena Davis is as smart as she is tall and good at shooting arrows.”

Come out to this week’s Big Terrific for lots of fun times and laughs. Gabe Liedman is still out in LA, but we will pour one out for him this week because he reeeeally loves A League of Their Own, especially the scene where Tom Hanks takes a super long piss.

I’ll be hosting, and we’ll also have:
CHRIS GETHARD (UCB, Fallon)
PATRICK BORELLI (Conan, Holy Headshot)
SEAN O’CONNOR (mostly chill)
and also our own lovely JENNY SLATE (Saturday Night Fever).

Please come hang out! Also, does anyone know Lori Petty’s ICQ number? I really want to invite her to come celebrate her old friend Geena’s birthday.

Hi buddies,

Gabe and Jenny can’t make it to this week’s Big Terrific, so I’m doing it all alone. Or am I?? I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but let’s just say that I’m planning to hire a Jay Leno impersonator and then shoot him in the mouth with a gun! But that’s all I’ll say about that for now! Hint hint.

Joining me:
LEO ALLEN (SNL, Two Comedy Central half hour specials, HBO’s upcoming Funny or Die miniseries)
PETE HOLMES (Television, Showbiz, CC half hour special)
ALI WONG (SF’s funniest)
KEVIN BARNETT (Florida newcomer)

Plus me, trying on outfits and doing my best to keep it together. Plus a sick after party! I’ll let you watch me eat a burger, extra tots.

Hi buddies,

A lot of people say they hate goodbyes, but I love them! In my opinion the only thing nicer than meeting a new person is getting rid of them. Let’s be honest: is there anything more satisfying than going up to someone you used to like, shoving them with your arms, and saying, “who are you? No one wants you here.” That is how I feel about 2009! It’s been a great year (ex: I took a couple of nice train rides and also made a really good salad) but it is time for it to take a long walk off a short pier.

I gotta feeling next year is gonna be all about 2010!!! Am I right? Come say goodbye to Two Thousand and Whine at Big Terrific this Wednesday with some kickin’ rad guests:

REGGIE WATTS
KUMAIL NANJIANI
RORY SCOVEL
ANDY HAYNES

And your hosts Max Silvestri, Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate rocking out to some of their favorite 2009 summer jams, including Bryan Adams’s brand new hit “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.”
