[Contains explicit content] Nick Thune doesn't go looking for fights, but fights seem to find him anyway. When they do, though, it's his inability to let some things slide that causes his momentary anger to boil over into small acts of passive-aggression: snarky rejoinders, anonymous notes, and the occasional sarcastic email. Find out which option Nick chose when confronted with an unprofessional doctor in his story live at SF Sketchfest for Porchlight, A Storytelling Series.

[Contains explicit content] Josie Long is an award-winning comedian, but that doesn't mean she has accomplished everything in life that she'd like to.

Eugene Mirman brought her into the studio to share the ordeal and have a few laughs about it.

Live from New York it's Hold On with Eugene Mirman!

Dave Hill (author of Tasteful Nudes and Dave Hill Doesn't Live Here Anymore, host of The Goddamn Dave Hill Show on WFMU) could probably shred a little death metal if you asked him, but that doesn't make him an expert on death.

[Contains explicit content] If you thought Eugene Mirman would only travel to Montreal for the Just For Laughs Festival in order to do a special, live Hold On event once, you thought wrong!
