    Drove to Grand Junction for son’s graduation. Slept couple hours and drove back to High Desert. Your videos helped me along the way sir! Much respect and thanks for keeping me awake while you were riding shotgun. 😂

    Thanks for sharing. Mitch was so funny, so unique. Still no one like him today.

    Mitch Hedberg is still my all time favorite comedian! He was relatable to anyone. A talent not many possess. Thanks for sharing this video, Jeff.

    Mitch Hedberg was a great comedian. It’s sad to lose someone who can make us laugh. Rest in peace Mitch Hedberg. I hope you know how much we miss you and that you’re still making us laugh. ✨

    Mitch Hedberg was my son's favorite comedian, we enjoyed his comedy also. So talented. Tragic about his death. Glad you enjoyed him also. Great photos from Frank Haynes.

    Thnx for my weekly "fix" Jeff! So sad the effects of drug abuse take the lives of such folks but it's the choices we make that determine it all. Safe travels always and look forward to my "fixes"! ~Chris

    I’ll never forget a good friend of mine sharing a comedy special of Mitch Hedberg with me and my continuous laughter 😆 of his jokes. Mitch was a comedy 🎭 genius. Afterwards, my friend said, “So you like him?” , which of course I said definitely. He then said, “Well, unfortunately, I have some bad news, he’s dead now.” I just thought, what a bummer. So talented and likable personality as well as young. Thanks for another great episode, including the historic photographer.

    I was, and still am, such a big fan of Mitch. When he passed, it deeply affected me for some reason. I always thought he kind of reminded me of my dad when he was young, but beyond that I found him to be one of the funniest comedians that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. He was taken far far too soon. Sadly, it seems like those who have the most talent and ability to make us laugh, have the deepest and darkest demons that trouble them during their lives. Anyhow, I really appreciate you taking time to share his gravesite with us, Jeff. I don't think I would ever be able to make it there to pay my respects and show my appreciation to him for the countless times that he helped me find brightness and laughter in some of my toughest and darkest days, so you visiting and showing it to us allows me to be there vicariously through you. Anyway, love the video as always. Safe travels, Jeff and Sarah!
  • I always learn from your channel, Jeff and look forward to more each Sunday. Drugs have taken the lives of so many young talents. It is a shame. Thanks for bringing both of these artists back to life for a little bit of Sunday morning.
  • I didn’t discover Mitch Hedberg until after his death. I was so distraught. I have great admiration for comedians who entertain us without vulgar language i.e. Sinbad, Brian Regan, Henry Cho. Thank you Jeff for this episode.

    Thanks Jeff, Mitch Hedberg was one of the all time best comedians! I didn’t know that Mitch was in the “home movies” adult cartoon. That’s one of the funniest cartoons for me. Lots of good voice artists involved with that cartoon. Thanks Jeff for doing the great work. 🙏🏻
