My Friends are Scary, Part XXI

Xmastime buddy Mike Ballbuster Lisk gets a well-deserved shout-out on Pitchfork for doing what he was born to do: look like a fucking lunatic.

Way to go, Mike! :)

Pitchfork: Do you have a favorite performance in the video?
TS: Everyone was so great, but I would like to single out the guy who plays Kurt [Dahle] in the video: Michael Lisk, who's the associate producer of my radio show. He has zero acting experience and went toe-to-toe with Kevin Corrigan-- who's a real actor-- when he was sticking that gun in his face. When we were filming that, people could not watch it because it was so uncomfortable seeing how crazy Mike was going.

You can't hear him, but Kevin was saying, "Hey, what are you doing out here? Making popcorn?" I don't even know what that means, but it was one of the funniest, craziest things I've ever heard. And Mike bites down on the gun and goes, "Oh yeah? Do it, motherfucker, do it!" He's screaming at the top of his lungs with the gun in his clenched mouth with paint chips coming off the gun. Some people who were watching behind the camera were like, "That is the most upsetting thing I've ever seen in my life."
