I've never seen a BMG show but my dad did in Boston some years ago and was thoroughly impressed. He gave me your CD, I love it. How often do the PVC instruments break? I imagine the really long swoopy whippy poles might break every once in a while.

Who -does- make them?

How long does it take a new Blue Man to get trained in on the different instruments and songs?

Has there/will there ever be a Blue Woman?

Does each group have someone really good at catching marshmallows in their mouth?

Has being in the BMG helped you in dating or other social interactions? Do people respond to it favorably?

Is there an aspect of the show which has helped you develop an odd skill which is useful in everyday life?

I'm a nurse and while I wouldn't say taking recently deceased patients to the morgue is my favorite part of the job or anything, I do enjoy it. It's nice and cool down there! It's not for everyone though. I love all of my team mates including transport and custodial staff. We turn over rooms like crazy and I'm sure all the cleaning staff have so many rooms to rip through and make sure are sanitized for my next patient. They're such a crucial part of the Healthcare team and they're so behind the scenes, big ups!

I am an American ICU nurse and we are just seeing our covid-19 ruleout patients ramp up. There has been a big delay because of lack of testing, and the tests are slow. I just worked this whole weekend and while my hospital hasn't yet had a confirmed case, I'm sure we will soon.

Our PPE protocols have shifted a ton. I've heard rumors that droplet precautions (basic masks) are good enough for patients with milder symptoms, and that N95/PAPR masks (full hood with blower strapped onto back) for airborne precautions are needed for anything aerosolizing (bronchoscopy, intubation, cpr, swabbing, etc).

We have to use a new N95 every time we enter a pts room and throw it away when we leave our negative pressure rooms. Or use a PAPR and wipe it down with oxyvir every time it's removed and between rooms. What is your protocol for PPE?

Is there a general progression you tend to see? Are you having to prone people/high fiO2/PEEP/Flolan? What kinds of treatments do you tend to see in your ICU patients?

I'm very willing to work and I'm now aggressively self quarantining now that my weekend shifts are over. I've had a dry and scratchy throat and increasing sniffles the past few days. I want to get tested because I don't want to spread anything to my sick patients, but there are so few tests and they're taking 3-5 days right now. I have a few days off, hopefully some big changes happen. I am really expecting the worst and knowing that I'm going to be very, very busy for the next month.

I've been watching your channel from the get-go, love it!

How about a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich from UHF? I mean, it's definitely not enough to film a whole episode around, but maybe one day toss it in for fun? Perhaps a Weird Al themed episode, he has plenty of songs about food.

Money and exceptional talent. The halcyon days of Cracked were such a special time for internet comedy.

I'll always plug Daniel O'Brien and Soren Bowie's podcast Quick Question. They became best friends writing for Cracked and continue their friendship via the podcast, basically just the two of them on a phone call. It's just a really nice conversation to sit in on with two really funny friends, there isn't much direction for the show beyond them catching up and asking each other questions and sharing stories. Really interesting insights into the comedy writing business as well. Dan is a senior writer for Last Week Tonight, and Soren writes for American Dad now.
