The Bitterest Pill: The Dan Klass Monologues

Comedy EN ↓ 30 episodes

“Actor and comedian Dan Klass whines hilariously about his day-to-day life as a stay-at-home-dad in Los Angeles. His wife works and he’s supposed to be an actor but spends all his time doing laundry instead of going to auditions. Always funny, poignant and well observed, it’s an off-the-cuff improvisation about the joys of being a father and husband. And don’t just listen to one, take two and call us in the morning…it’s a show that grows on you, so ask for a repeat prescription.” - Radio Times Magazine “

We celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Bitterest Pill by discussing: Chatbots can't keep up the facade, DJ X is a fraud, passing gas immediately before work is a risky game, and Clint Eves is a bad intern.

I can not describe this episode. It was recorded on June 5th, and I'm writing this description on Oct. 12. So, just listen?

#382: If It’s Fixed Don’t Break It 22.01.2023 48:12

I switched to "less expensive" health insurance, tried to get AI to make me a Me, and finally fixed the washer and dryer...I think.

I bought a Koke Zeero laced with cyanide, got new glasses that are useless, called in "sick," and tried to fix the leaking shower...

#378: Don’t Call It a Comeback… 06.11.2022 49:59

After a bit of an extended hiatus (almost 3 years?), I am back with the usual nonsense about restroom phone etiquette, rabid raccoons, the Bitterest Pill connection to possibly the greatest movie ever made, my version of TikTok, and my expertise in installing smart thermostats...

PILLBOX: The Wish Book 16.11.2020 53:36

I talked reality with my agent. Honestly, if you’re trying to make it in show business, reality is the last thing you want to talk about.

PILLBOX: Science Fair 01.11.2020 1:09:32

(Originally released April 21, 2011) Hudson and his friends took part in the LA County Science and Engineering Fair, and I chaperoned. No, not my first choice of chaperone, but there […]

PILLBOX: Aloha, Birthday Girl 26.10.2020 54:07

We were supposed to go to Hawaii again this year. But, things can change. Try explaining to your 8-year-old daughter that she won’t be spending her birthday in Maui after all. Gulp.

I talk about my need for a new coding system, so I know when a woman is interested in me and when she is just being polite. "What's Your '17?'" "Butterscotch?" "Lima bean?"

I was trying to network...

#370: A Fairly Special Bitterest Pill (2018) 17.12.2018 1:04:38

This is sort of a reprise of Hudson's first appearance on the podcast way back in 2004. In this episode, like back then, we talk Christmas music, except now his voice is much deeper (and apparently so is mine).
