\"hooey\"<\/a>You may recognize Bob Odenkirk as the character Saul Goodman from the AMC drama,\u00a0Breaking Bad\u00a0<\/em>and its spin-off,\u00a0Better Call Saul. \u00a0<\/em>But Odenkirk has been a comedy writer for a long time and he has written many things that have made you laugh over the years. \u00a0He got his start at Chicago’s Second City and went to write at Saturday Night Live<\/em> alongside Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien. \u00a0Odenkirk is the creator of beloved SNL character, motivational speaker Matt Foley, portrayed by Chris Farley. \u00a0He also wrote for Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Ben Stiller Show, Get a Life, The Dennis Miller Show, <\/em>and Mr. Show with Bob and David. \u00a0A Load of Hooey<\/a><\/strong><\/em> is Odenkirk’s first book of sketch comedy.<\/p>\n

A Load of Hooey<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is in print and on audiobook. \u00a0I listened to the audiobook and I’m glad that I did. \u00a0Bob Odenkirk is one of the voice actors, along with David Cross, Jay Johnston, Jerry Minor, Megan Amram and Paul F. Tompkins. \u00a0Listening to these talented actors made an already funny book even more delightfully funny to listen to. \u00a0Who knew that you could laugh at Hitler? \u00a0Bob Odenkirk made that happen. \u00a0I laughed at Adolph Hitler thanks to the talented writing of Bob Odenkirk. \u00a0And it is not just hated people that Odenkirk writes sketches of. \u00a0Nope. He even goes after beloved former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. \u00a0And it’s funny.<\/p>\n

So if you enjoy watching sketch comedy, need to listen to a book in the car, don’t have a lot of time, (this audiobook is 2.5 hours long) and you want to laugh, I recommend checking out the audiobook, A Load of Hooey<\/a><\/em><\/strong> by Bob Odenkirk. \u00a0Or you can read it. \u00a0But it’s funnier to listen to. \u00a0But you should check it out, either format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
