This is BRILLIANT and you should see it if you can. Also, Humphrey Ker has been “extended due to popular demand” and is now 8’6” tall, which is worth seeing.

@mrdavidreed.bsky.social was the first guest I had on who I didn't already know personally. It's since become one of my favourite chats and is also the episode that gets quoted the most by listeners (and other guests) in terms of advice and comedy wisdom. Definitely give it a listen!

Trigger warning: This story about Caroll Spinney, the man inside Big Bird, might make the room dusty
Caroll Spinney inside his Big Bird costume operating the beak with his outstretched arm. When asked about his most meaningful interaction with a fan, Spinney had this say:
"I got a letter from a fan who said his little boy, who was 5 years old, his name was Joey, he was dying of cancer. And he was so ill, the little boy knew he was dying.
So the man, in his letter, asked if I would call the little boy. He said the only thing that cheered him at all in his fading state was to see Big Bird on television.
So once in a while, he wouldn't see Big Bird on some days, because he wasn't necessarily in every show.
So he asked could I telephone him, and talk to the boy, tell him what a good boy he's been. So I took a while to look up a phone, because this was before cell phones. And they got a long cord to bring a phone to the boy.
And I had Big Bird say 'Hello! Hello Joey! It's me, Big Bird!'
So he said 'Is it really you, Big Bird?'
'Yes, it is!'I chatted a while with him, about ten minutes, and he said 'I'm glad you're my friend Big Bird.'
And I said 'I'd better let you go now.'
He said 'Thank you for calling me Big Bird. You're my friend. You make me happy!
And it turns out that his father and mother were sitting with him when the phone call came. And he parents in, be il that day were t sure lew tong he id last.
And so his father wrote to me right away, and said
'Thank you, thank you' - he hadn't seen him smile since October, and this was in March - and when the phone was hung up, he said 'Big Bird called me! He's my friend.'
And he closed his eyes. And he passed away.
And I could see that what I say to children can be very important.
And he said 'We haven't seen our little boy smile in
MONTHS. He smiled, as he passed away. It was a gift to us. Thank you.'"

A great thing that John Kearns said on the Always Be Comedy podcast. When you get the end credits on films these days that go on for ages, why don’t we tell kids that those are all jobs they could do? Like, you can be part of this, it’s real.
