"Unless he starts killing and stuffing homeless people I'll probably never run into him."

A few exchanges from Louis C.K.’s new Ask Me Anything on Reddit:

Hi there. Thanks for doing the AMA :) Have you run into Ewan McGregor since he told you to put your money where your mouth is?

No. We don’t do the same kinds of things. Unless he starts killing and stuffing homeless people I’ll probably never run into him. I would totally kiss him right on the lips, though. Totally.

I just watched one of your standup specials with my mom over the weekend. What is one of the most embarrasing things that you’ve done with your mom?

i was in line with my mom at a store once. two cute teenage girls (i was teenage then so it’s okay) were standing behind her talking. One of them accidentally stepped on my mom’s heel. She said “Ow!” The girl said “Oh my god. I’m so sorry!” My mom said “Well you really did me in!” and turned her back on them. The girls supressed a giggle behind her back. This whole thing made me love my mother WAY more. I’ll never forget it.
One of them girls had a fucking can on her too.

Hey Louis. Long time fan. I have began to lose my hair as well. Didn’t really bother me in the beginning as I had a GF, but now I start to take notice to it more and more. How did you come to terms with the fact that one day you will no longer have hair on the top of your head?

I remember the day I saw my hair was thinning. I don’t remember caring much. I don’t care. It’s just hair. It never bothered me much. I was pretty young, too. And it happened and is happening veeery slowly. I have a feeling dead people get really mad when we complain about losing hair.”
