"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

Nick Zaino
The Boston Globe

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

I have to stop wearing the Red Sox hat I found in the back seat of a cab, because now people see me wearing it and want to talk to me about sports. And not cool sports, either...they want to talk about football. And there is very little on this earth I give less of a shit about than football. Problem is, I'm too much of a pusscake to actually just say that when people start having a sports conversation with me. Instead, I try to remember stuff I've heard other guys say and just spout it back, which is what I'm convinced most of you jock types do, anyway. Except sometimes I remember wrong, so you get a situation like today on the bus when The Boys started talking about the Patriots, and I babble, "I heard they're going to start Bledsoe next week." Blank stares and long pause. As it turns out, they traded Bledsoe to Buffalo like 40 years ago, which is why everyone stared at me like I'd said, "I fucked my neighbor's puppy last night."

So as a general guide to my friends and family, here are the sports I am willing to talk about:

Ultimate Fighting
Skateboarding
Judo
Boxing
Baseball (and only because I promised Sam Walters that I would try to pay more attention to the Red Sox and because it's really the only thing anybody in Boston talks about...but please don't go any deeper than the last night's score and the name of the pitcher, because I will start to cry like a little girl)

Any attempt to initiate conversation about any other sports, including, but not limited to basketball, football, golf, NASCAR, hockey, soccer or any other activity that may be featured on Sports Center will be met with passive resistance and uncomfortable silence.
