In San Francisco, 2014, four great storytellers took the RISK! stage at SF Sketch Fest: Stephen Tobolowsky was directing the New York premiere of The Miss Firecracker Contest with Holly Hunter in the lead and a stalker with a ticket for opening night. The question of whether to go on becomes a different question entirely when Holly disappears into the basement holding what looks like a butcher knife. Dana Gould spent years as pen pal and friend to Maila Nurmi, the actress who invented Vampira, destitute and barely known, living in a converted garage. He reads from the last letter he wrote her. (Content note: child sexual abuse) Nato Green landed a yard-work job at 16, took about fifteen years to figure out what his employer actually wanted, and has some thoughts on what actually protects kids. Brendon Walsh got his hat ruined, his face rearranged, his brass knuckles confiscated, and his name put on a court docket, in that order.

Shopping for a car should be exciting, not exhausting. But let's be honest, sometimes it feels like wandering through a maze blindfolded. You're comparing prices, wondering if the deal is actually good, trying to figure out whether that great opportunity is really a great opportunity, or if you're about to regret it six months later. That's why I love CarGurus. When I'm looking at vehicles online, I want the information up front. I don't wanna play detective. And with CarGurus, you can see deal ratings, price history, and dealer reviews all in one place. It makes the whole process feel a lot more transparent and a whole lot less stressful. And I really like the search tools on the app. You can narrow things down exactly the way you want: make, model, mileage, price range. And you can set real-time alerts for price drops and new listings, so you're not constantly checking back every five minutes like some caffeinated maniac at 2:00 in the morning. It's no wonder CarGurus is the number one rated car shopping app in Canada on the Apple app and Google Play Store. CarGurus has hundreds of thousands of cars from top-rated dealers, plus deal ratings, price history, and dealer reviews on listings so you can shop with confidence. And when you're finally ready to buy, CarGurus connects you with trusted dealerships, helping make the whole process transparent and hassle-free. Buy your next car today with CarGurus at cargurus.ca.
