Take a Stroll... with Rob Delaney - That's Some Killer Chicken

I've eaten a lot of Zankou Chicken. Zankou Chicken is a chain of restaurants in Los Angeles that serve amazing Armenian fast food. I'd be more than content to have a chicken Tarna plate with their signature garlic paste for my last meal on Earth. Full story

Take a Stroll... with Rob Delaney - Look Deep into My Eye

I'd had close to no sex when I got to college. My penis had been inside a couple of girls, but I didn't really know what to do with it and I could have been charitably described as "very awful" at making and/or doing sex. So at NYU, I made a concerted effort to get my dinky stink… Full story

Take a Stroll... with Rob Delaney - Debt Ceilings, Debt Feelings

Take a Stroll... with Rob Delaney - Look: I Am Your Father

I'm a dad. I have been for three months. I like my baby. I love him, even. This is probably because (head reason) I'm programmed to, and (heart reason) the sight/smell/sound of him is intoxicating and I can't get enough of it. I want to smell him so hard I smell all the nutrients… Full story
