Dan Grgas, thanks for sitting down with me today.

No problem.

You play the Mad Tagger in the newest episode of Status Kill. Where do you draw your inspiration from as an actor?

I draw my inspiration from life, Chris. It could be anything. A bird, a tree, a song. As long as there is vibrancy and some sense of immediacy present in what surrounds me I feel I can channel it down into my being, change it, and then channel it back out into my craft.

Do you yourself find irritation in being tagged in photos?

Not really. I like when I get tagged in a picture. Sometimes they can be a bit unflattering, but even then it's usually the sign of a good or funny time I had with friends.

What's it like working with filmmaker/friend Jesse Cowell?

Jesse is a great guy and I'm lucky to consider him a friend, but I had never worked with him and I'm happy to say he was awesome on set. I hate when you're acting and you're sitting around with your thumb up your ass not doing anything because the director is dicking around. But Jess had everything worked out and it was a real fun, effective, easy shoot - for me at least.

Please share with us your most embarrassing tagged photo and an explanation of why?

A picture of me with my front two teeth cracked in half. Why? I had too much to drink.

What's your favorite My Damn Channel series?

Other than Status Kill, you mean? Ha ha ha ha!! I am very partial to Horrible People. It's such a well-written spoof, and it's unapologetic in how dumb and crazy the comedy is in it. To do such a killer send-up I think the comedy's got to tap into that part of your brain that doesn't need to think in order to laugh at it. To laugh straight from the gut. I love that stuff. Poop! Shit! Dick! LOL.

How did you get so lucky to have a friend like Chris Donahue?

Chris owns about three t-shirts and one of them is of a band we both happen to like. I said, "that band rules" and he said, "I agree" and then we started to talk about other stuff and next thing you know I have a good friend in Chippy Diesel.

Thanks, Dan.

F--k off, Chip.

Do you guys remember how in Episode 3 of Horrible People  Carter distracts Michael and Margaret from looking for Danielle's body by steering the conversation toward all the amazing kinds of mashed potatoes one can make?

Well history repeated itself in NYC last week when an American Hero managed to diffuse a fight on a subway simply by snacking on some delicious potato chips.

Carter was using the power of the potato for evil, so it's nice to see someone use the potato for good in the real world of New York. 

Watch the video, and when you see a potato farmer today, thank him for what he's doing for America.

WATCH!

Hi friends! There is something that I need to tell you about: a book. Webster's Dictionary defines a "book" as a bunch of pieces of paper held together by a hard cover (I made that up).

There is a specific book that I do want to tell you about, though. It's called Funny Business: A Comedy Photo Book and it comes to you from my good buddy Seth Olenick. Seth has been photographing comedians for the past six years and now he wants to share these photos with you… in a big 'ole book!

He's taken photos of just about everyone from David Wain to A.D. Miles, from David Cross to The Sklar Brothers. Seth has photographed EVERYONE!

Help a brother out! Let's kickstart this shit!

The Super Bowl is this Sunday and you know what that means!  Yup, that's right: it's time to party!  There's nothing better than gathering with your friends and watching some football while chowing down on some great food and drink.  And if you're having trouble planning your party, do not fret.  Here is a guide to throwing a Super Bowl party according to My Damn Channel.  Enjoy.

1) Coolio's Game Day Turkey - Ever since I made my first game day turkey for a Super Bowl party I refuse to watch the game without it (granted, last year was the first time I made one).  I'd like to personally thank Coolio for providing the internet and I with this amazing recipe, as well as the hilarious video that goes along with it.  

2) Horrible People - You see how these people throw a party?  It's just the way it should be done.  Murders, champagne toasts, backstabbing, potatoes, chochoholics - if you follow the Horrible People Party Method (H.P.P.M) than you will have an amazing party that people will be talking about for years!  If they're not dead that is!

3) Daily Grace - Grace is what I like to call a football expert - and you always want to have one of those at your party, just in case you or another guest doesn't understand something about the game.  I mean, take a look at this video.  If those aren't the words of a football expert than I don't know what is.

4) Daddy Knows Best - Steve Rannizzisi is the ultimate party animal.  I mean, just look at the way he gets down, both here and here.  Man, I would LOVE to party with that guy.  Hey, Steve, if you're reading this feel free to come to my Super Bowl party on Sunday - just tweet me: @DannyMoney.  We'll chat logistics.  Thanks, bro.

5) Answerly - YOU. MUST. HAVE. GUACOMOLE.  Without guacamole there simply is no party.  Trust me.  And trust Hayley. She shows you how to get down with guac like it ain't no thang.

6) OkayNate - Maybe you don't even LIKE football, but you're going to be at a Super Bowl party. What do you do? People watch! Just like Nate! (Just don't steal the remote and change it to the Puppy Bowl without telling anyone!)

So there you have it.  Watch these videos and you're on your way to an amazing Super Bowl party, or at least an Okay one.
