\"c.k.\"<\/a>We interrupt our scheduled postings for this bulletin from Louis C.K., one of the few people in this world who has the power to make me happy. And he deigns to do so repeatedly. From my inbox today:<\/p>\n

Good morning. \u00a0Indeed this is my weekly email, notifying you that the new episode of Horace and Pete (5) is ready for download ($3). \u00a0Go here to watch it!<\/a> Enjoy.<\/p>\n

I know that some of you on this list don’t want to get this email every week. And I know that some of you really like getting this email every week. I know this because I get emails from both of you. Some people write me and they say \u201cHey, you promised not to write me all the time. This is REALLY unfair! This is SPAM!\u201d and some of you write me to say \u201cHey man. I love getting these emails. And thanks for reminding me about the show this week.\u201d Also, whenever we delay the email for a while, to see if maybe people will come out of habit to watch the show, some do. But not many. And then I send out the email and boom. There\u2019s an explosion of sales on the new episode and even the old ones. And the explosion reverberates though the week. \u00a0So. \u00a0I\u2019m gonna keep sending the emails.<\/p>\n

You may be asking yourselves, or asking me, though within yourselves, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just let some people opt out of the Horace and Pete email list?\u201d Well, the fact is that I did tell my web guys to create some category options for the email list. And to be fair for them, they did that very thing. And they emailed me a few days ago, showing me those options and asking me to review and approve them. And I haven\u2019t looked at it. Because I\u2019m very busy right now doing lots of things like, for instance, taking my kids to school in the mornings, picking them up later, politely asking the dog not to chew things, building a Trump shelter like everyone else, creating and paying for a whole television series and distributing it to you directly. So yeah, I\u2019m fucking busy. Sorry for cursing.<\/p>\n

So for the time being, you\u2019re going to get one of these for every episode of Horace and Pete. If I\u2019m really cluttering up your email box, opt out of the list. And then come back when the series is over. I mean, you could do that. (although I\u2019m going on tour very soon and you might miss out on an announcement on tickets going on sale). You really could just opt out, and leave things how they are for the people who like the emails. In fact, you know what? I\u2019m not making a sub-list for Horace and Pete. I\u2019m not. I have one list. This is it. This show won\u2019t always be on. You know what? Also? I think I’ve gotten a total of 7 emails from people complaining about these reminders. And the result is that hundreds of thousands of you are getting this vomit of my insecurity this morning.<\/p>\n

Okay. Just\u2026 If you want to see the next episode, it\u2019s there. It\u2019s number 5.<\/p>\n

Oh also, some of you (like 4 of you) have written me to ask that I give you more information about Horace and Pete. You say you want clips to watch and some synopsis of the show, so that you don\u2019t have to unduly risk your 3 dollars. Well. No. I won\u2019t. If you want to try the show, try it. If you don\u2019t, don\u2019t. So far I\u2019m very happy with the amount of you that do. And about 6 of you have asked me to tell you how many episodes are coming, so that you can decide based on that whether you want to get involved in the show, knowing how far you have to go. Again, no. I won\u2019t tell you how many are coming.<\/p>\n

By the way, for the 11 emails I\u2019m addressing here, hundreds of you write me every day just to say that you love the show. So why is this happening right now? What is it about how good feelings and positive messages just flow past like water, while the negative gets addressed and dealt with?<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t I write you a happy email, that reflects the overwhelmingly positive response to the show, by thanking you for sharing your positive thoughts? Well, I can only answer by saying that the twelve year old boy who still lives inside of me would say \u201cBecause that\u2019s gay\u201d. And I guess I\u2019m not afraid to insult gay people by saying that an adolescent side of me believes they are polite and friendly.<\/p>\n

You know what there has been one message of concern I\u2019ve gotten that is worth mentioning. Some people ask why I don\u2019t create a subscription option where you can buy all of the episodes up front at a discount? That\u2019s such a good idea! But I can\u2019t do it. Because I haven\u2019t made all of the shows yet. I make the show every week and then put it up. What if I get you to buy them ahead of time and then I break my head open and can\u2019t make anymore? So sorry. You have to pay for one at a time.<\/p>\n

I probably shouldn\u2019t send this email. But I will. I think it\u2019s okay that you see this side of me. Like when I\u2019m with my kids and I catch myself, realizing I\u2019ve been a cranky asshole with them for the last couple of hours. I catch it and inside of myself I think \u201cYou\u2019re being a dick. Cool off\u201d but then I think \u201cWell, keep it like this for another ten minutes\u201d and I stay cranky a little longer, even though I have the control now to scale it back. I realize that that example might make me sound like a sociopath. Well, okay. Think what you want.<\/p>\n

I think a lot of you reading this email will come to the following conclusion \u201cBoy, for a guy who really wants us to think that he doesn\u2019t give a shit what we think, he sure did just write a long email all about how he really gives a shit what we think.\u201d Which is fair. I\u2019m not a perfectly balanced person. What I like to think is that I am happy if people like me, and I’m okay if they don\u2019t. I just do my best. Anyway, I don\u2019t have twitter anymore. I don\u2019t do a lot of interviews. And I like talking to people. So\u2026 okay. I think that\u2019s really more than enough. This is like you had a brunch and everyone left and I stayed and I\u2019m not even your favorite guest and you\u2019re watching me sit in your house and talk until my mouth gets white and dry and you really have to take a shit but you\u2019re waiting for me to shut up and leave. So I will.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the link again for episode 5<\/a>. \u00a0And also I\u2019m going on tour soon. \u00a0It\u2019s going to be a big long tour of lots of cities.<\/p>\n

May god\u2019s light shine on our supreme leader, Master Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
