Tonight, Dave mentioned the passing of a family member "a couple of

Thanks for posting this, Donz. When he mentioned that, I was
wondering if it was the famous "Uncle Earl."

The date is interesting - Earl passed away on April 14th. April 15th
was the show where the accountants read the Top Ten, and I and some
others participated in the synopsis thread saying that Dave was
uncharacteristically mean-spirited that day (the fat comment about the
Matthew Broderick look-alike) and everything just felt "off" the
entire show. Now it makes sense and it is certainly very
understandable for Dave to be off his game that day.

I will miss the Earl stories. I hope he keeps telling them as a
tribute to this great guy.
