Previously on "Everything's Coming Up Russes!"
Any morning The Four Kids are at the apartment, around 8:30 or 9:00 they get up and get breakfast making as much noise as humanly possible.  So, this is when Russ would wake up.  He wouldn't get out of bed, but he'd lay there tired as fuck.

Sunday morning around 11:00 The Actor and The Four Kids would go to church, so Russ would just hang out until they left, get out of bed, shower, and head out before they all got back.

The Actor was helping his kids make breakfast, and was talking to his kids.  At some point in the conversation The Actor had said the word "vengetta" in reference to one of the kids wanting to get back at one of the other kids.  Russ had heard him, and said...

"It's 'vendetta' with a 'D'."
"...you want to 'get' revenge though... you sure Russ?"
"Yea, I'm sure."

"Yea I'm fucking 100% positive, but go ahead and keep saying 'vengetta' if you want.  I don't give a shit."

When The Four Kids were finished eating their breakfast, they went back into their room and watched cartoons or played games.  The Actor decided to make himself a sandwich.  When he pulled out the cheese he didn't realize he had bought the cheese with holes in it at the store.

"Man, I gotta show my kids this..."

He walked back into his bedroom.

"Yo, this is the cheese Jerry's always eatin' in Tom and Jerry!" Said The Actor, way more excitedly than he should have.


Russ could of told him it was called Swiss Cheese, but Russ felt he had shared enough wisdom with The Actor today, and just didn't care.  Apparently The Actor doesn't even like Swiss Cheese.  There are people in the world who don't like cheese that's white... if it's not orange cheese, they don't like it.  Russ was one of those people as a kid, but he doesn't see the world that way anymore, he accepts cheeses of all colors and creeds.

Cheese is fucking delicious.

On Sundays Russ would go to two comedy shows at the local theatre.  The first one was at 6, so he showed up around 5:15, and was probably 7th or 8th in line.  He had his headphones on, and was listening to some Childish Gambino.

"Russell..."

Russ's heart skipped a beat... no one on the streets of LA should know his name.  He turned and found it was this girl he'd seen in line at a couple other shows.

"Are you in line for Garlin, or Assscat?"
"Garlin."
"Oh ok, well I guess I need to be in the other line then."

She walked to the other line, and left Russ wondering how she knew his name.

When the show was over, Russ walked out, and first in line for the next show was a group of girls, including the one who knew his name.  They all said goodbye to him as he walked down the street.

Russ had a couple hours to kill before the next show, so he went and grabbed a salad at the local grocery store.  He sat in his car, ate the salad, played Super Nintendo games for an hour and a half, and then walked back to the theatre.

When Russ got pretty close to the theatre he saw there were already two people in line, some guy and the girl who knew Russ's name.  He walked up and got in line behind the guy.  The girl looked at him and smiled...

"You're back?  Did you just stick around the area until now?"
"Oh I went and got some dinner."
"How was Jeff Garlin's show?  I've never been."
"It was good, I really like that dude, he's funny and so nice... how was Assscat?" (An improv show)
"Oh it was really good, Tim Meadows stuck around so that was cool."
"Nice."

There was a brief moment of silence.

"You know I don't think we've formally been introduced, I'm Megan."

She stuck out her hand for Russ to shake.

"Russ."

They shook hands.

"Hi, I'm Jeff."

The guy standing between Russ and Megan also stuck his hand out towards Russ to shake.

"Uh... hey.  Russ... nice to meet you."

Megan continued to talk to Russ.

"So do you live around here or something?"
"Oh yea I live pretty close... er... I'm staying pretty close."
"Staying... so you're just visiting?"
"Yea... I might be here until the end of next month."
"And then...?"
"Back to Kansas City for a friend's wedding."
"Oh that's cool, I'm from Pennsylvania."
"Cool-"

"I'm from Boston."  Said Jeff, butting into the conversation.

"Uh cool."

The three of them talked for a little bit, Jeff had asked Megan where the rest of her friends were, and then eventually asked Russ the same thing.

"Oh uh... It's just me... I don't really know anyone here."
"You know us!"  said Jeff.

Megan and Jeff laughed, Russ let out a soft chuckle...

"Yea..."

Russ didn't mind talking to Megan, but Jeff was kind of cock blockin'... and then someone else joined the line and stood next to Jeff.  Jeff's boyfriend.

Note: I don't remember his name.  I've been spacing out a lot... during conversations, while writing, etc.

The group chatted for a little while, asking Russ many questions about where he's been, why he's in LA, what shows he's been to... Russ had made some friends.

"Way to go Russy!"

Russ never actually found out how Megan knew his name, but he'll probably see her around again.  Maybe tonight at the show he's going to... who knows?  Nope she wasn't there.
