If Tony Bourdain were a fat Englishman in a sportcoat, tooling around in a London Cab

. A little less in your face/New Yorker/Punk Rock ethos, but I love his take on the absurdity, greatness and beauty, and all the contradictions in America.

Fun show. On HD NET.

Yeah, I want to catch this. He's a funny guy. Always great in Black Adder and on his own in Fry & Laurie (comedy duo with Hugh Laurie of House).

Fuck, we don't get HD Net anymore: I figured they pulled it in Georgia due to the Commie Dan Rather's involvement but you've got it in AL so it must just be a Comcast Fail.
