So, this is long due for an update: whatever happened with the proposed New York filming regulations we rapped about over a month ago?
Well, the short answer is we won. The proposed laws were dropped and something new (and hopefully better) will be written up by the Mayor’s Office and open to a similar […]

My whole body is sore right now because I’ve spent the week running, jumping, and kicking my way through New York City for a new video we’re working on. The video is so action packed, at one point our camera got knocked over and the view screen shattered. Our regular editor and good friend Oren […]

Two days ago, comedian Eric Andre asked me who exactly is on “the Olde English Team.” It takes more than just the five of us to make our sketches come together and the new Michel Gondry video is the perfect showcase of all our friends’ many talents.

Here’s a fun game! First, watch the last ten seconds of our sketch “Writers of Lost.”
Then, click below to watch a (really, really ridiculous) scene from last week’s episode of Lost.
I don’t even know what to say, other than that I love the fact that at some point the writers of Olde English and the […]

Back in New York now. Exhausted. Here’s a brief rundown of my last day in Aspen before I go to sleep.
Since we were done performing Friday night, Saturday was like a bonus day for us to do all the things we didn’t have time to earlier in the week, because of last minute […]

Good morning, morning!
Yesterday was Adam’s birthday and we celebrated by writing and rehearsing a sketch all day. We performed at Fat City Lounge, a late-night variety show, for one of the warmest, largest crowds we’ve ever had. We were also greeted backstage by a bottle of champagne sent by Adam’s parents (thanks, Adam’s […]

What’s up, all you Mr. and Mrs. Fancy Pantses?
