Special Bonus: Josh appeared as a featured storyteller at a Connecticut version of THE MOTH RADIO HOUR (kinda; it was an NPR event, but the actual MOTH people turned out to be dicks. So they inserted a "u" in and made it their own. \nFrom Josh's site: \n\nBeing February and close to Valentine\u2019s day, the organizing theme for this, the inaugural kick-off of \u201cThe MOuTH\u201d in Hartford, Connecticut, at the amazing Twain House and Museum auditorium, was \u201cstories about love.\u201d\n\nI told the best story about love I know. I hope you all enjoy it.\n\nWhat you need to know going in: For the first 30 seconds, I make reference to a quotation that was carved into the wall behind me, as a kind of communication to the audience of \u201cHey, don\u2019t worry\u2013 I\u2019m quick on my feet; look, this observation could not have been pre-planned, so relax a little, secure in the knowledge that the guy with the mic is going to be funny and listen-able to.\u201d The quotation is \u201cThere is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.\u201d But there\u2019s an accidental line through an S in \u201cPersuasive.\u201d
