Hot Dimes...Fool Your Friends!

Another change in plans.

Very exciting. And, frankly, designed to satisfy a public waiting for something—anything—to cheer up 2026.

Due to a bunch of factors that would bore you into a medically-induced coma, here’s the new plan for Press The Button:

1) First release: An audio comedy special.

Soon I’ll be releasing Press The Button as a downloadable audio comedy special you can purchase directly from my website.

You’ll be able to listen on your phone, in your car, on your tablet, or on your computer.

And for you digital knuckle-draggers… yes:
there will also be an actual CD you can load into any CD player still alive in North America.

2) Later release: Paperback and eBook on Amazon. After the radio version, a written version will be released on Amazon.

I’m billing this as a Comedy Special, and here’s the beginning:

             ********************************

Dedication

This special is dedicated to my grandmother, Rose.

Because without her…
I might’ve become a normal person.

Outwardly...She was a loving, old-fashioned grandmother--
always wore a hat in public.

Not a Bubba Gump baseball hat.
An old lady bonnet with a lethal hat pin
sharp enough
she could’ve shanked a guy in a prison yard.

Maybe she did.
I didn’t know her before I was born.

Beneath that exterior she had a subversive sense of humor.

She kept a cartoon in a scrapbook.

New York street vendor. Sign reads:
HOT DIMES — FOOL YOUR FRIENDS!

When people came over, she’d show it off like it was the Mona Lisa.

Most of them didn’t get the joke.
I did.

And I’ve been selling hot dimes ever since.

So Gram… thanks for nothing.
I mean, you gave your grandson the gift of wanting to be a comedian.

Is that a gift… or a curse?
I would’ve preferred a trust fund.
​
Anyhow—here we go.
Welcome to Press The Button.
I’m driving the bus—everybody sit down.
