Quotes by Al Madrigal

Because I go to the park, and I'm on the Vicodin and a little weed too - let's face it - and I go in there, and my wife's like, 'Bring the sand toys! Bring the sand toys!' And I know what happens every single time: I become sand toy repo man from the eight little kids that run off in nine different directions with my sand toys.
I bullshit on the phone all day with a variety of people discussing various projects, and occasionally write jokes.
