Now who wants some chicken? It's Comedy Death Ray Radio.
I don't know, that one was liked a lot, but that did not feel good coming off the tongue.
Let me explain what's happening, by the way. If this is your first time listening, my name is Hot Skok.
Hot Sosserman?
I couldn't even do the fake name without stumbling over it. What is wrong? I need to do my vocal exercises this morning.
You need to change your name to Hot Sosserman.
Okay, so this is Hot Sosserman, and this is Comedy Death Ray Radio.
I had a world-famous catchphrase. What's a pot dog? I no longer say it.
If you have a suggestion, put it on our eurowolf.com page.
And I could go into a much lengthier explanation, just so everyone's clear on what happened,
but I'm feeling like not going into it today.
So, let me tell you who I have as guests right now. This is, of course, Hot Sosserman with Comedy Death Ray Radio,
and we have, first of all, old friend of the show. You all know him. You've heard his voice already.
Within the first two minutes, it's Harris Whittles is here.
Yeah, thanks, Hot.
And one of my favorite comedians, I'm sorry, comedians, we have from...
You said comedian twice, though.
Comedienne is what I said the second time.
Comedienne?
Yeah.
He just shortened the pool from which he likes. He likes me out of ten people.
You know her as a judge from Last Comic Standing, and the beautiful and vivacious Natasha Leggero is here.
Hi, thanks for having me.
No one clapped after you.
That's because I started the clap. I'm a very generous performer, so I was starting the claps for everybody else.
Listen to yourself. Why not?
Oh, yeah. Hi, Natasha.
I don't need claps.
You're a self-reliant performer, I've noticed. You don't care about claps. You don't care about laughs. You just do what you do.
You don't care about the clap?
I mean, I know that that's not true, but I had to follow... Are we going to start talking?
Yeah, no. Go ahead and start talking.
I had to follow Martin Lawrence last night at the comedy store.
Really?
And he... I think I got off...
Where'd you follow him to?
I had to follow...
Nice one.
Well, first of all, he was on stage doing jokes. His big closer was that when you fuck a guy...
No, when you get fucked in the butt...
By a guy?
No, just like when you're fucking... Anyone... Oh, can I swear?
Oh, yeah, please do.
When you're fucking in the butt, corn comes out of the butt, so he gets corn on the cock.
That's true. That's not true.
And that was his big closer. Oh, and then there was a lot of jokes about dry pussy.
He's really cornered the market on the dry pussy.
So wait, wait, wait.
He does not...
It gets his dick all bloody.
He does not like dry pussy.
No. He doesn't like dry pussy or deep pussy.
Dry pussy, deep pussy. What kind of pussies, then, is Martin Lawrence into these days?
Um...
Like wet, shallow, almost like a waiting pool kind of pussies.
I don't really want to think about it.
He might be into cocks, I don't know.
Would you say that your pussy is kind of his type?
I definitely have...
His type?
I have a narrow, shallow, wet pussy.
Almost like kind of like a library aisle or something, like just a narrow aisle of books.
I would like to think of it more like a perfume aisle.
You know, like at the... what's that place called?
Duty-free.
You know, you're going to the aisle, something like that.
So your pussy is duty-free.
I like my pussy is duty-free, too.
Wait, so let me finish the story.
Okay, here we go.
So then Martin...
Oh, I thought that was the perfect ending.
Well, I just want to complain about him a little more.
Okay, please.
So Martin Lawrence can't pronounce my name when he's bringing me up, so he's like...
I'm black, I can't say that name.
He's like complaining and yelling, and I was like, just say Natasha.
He's like, I don't work for you, bitch!
Whoa!
And so he got really mad, and then he waited for me after the show with his friends in
the parking lot, because I got 20 minutes later, I'm off stage, and it is very hard
to follow someone that dirty, and, you know, it was just very...
And speaking the truth the way he does.
So then he goes, hey, Natasha, I just want you to know I don't work for you.
And then I gave him my purse and said, hold this for me, Martin, darling.
So I don't know if he was kid.
I mean, he didn't laugh.
What a weirdo.
Well, you know, he's on top of the world.
Oh, and then he's like, how long you've been doing comedy?
And I was like, I hate when people ask you that.
I was like, it's not a competition, Martin.
You should have asked how long he hasn't been doing that.
And I should have told him that if he did work for me, he would have gotten fired for
that set.
You should have said that, but you thought of it what?
How much later?
12 hours?
When I got home on Twitter, I was like trying to...
He's not on Twitter.
Oh, that's too bad.
Well, he's on top of the world, you know?
I mean, Big Mama 3 came out.
He's very successful, I guess.
He doesn't seem successful, but he must be.
Well, I mean, you know, if you ever capture the zeitgeist the way he did, you'll be able
to keep working forever.
It's like a third grader.
It looks like if a third grader was telling jokes, they don't even make sense.
All those dry pussy third grader jokes.
Well, no, but it's just if there's an immaturity to it.
Almost like he's never even had sex.
Third graders' pussies are generally dry, aren't they?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
From my experience?
Absolutely.
I've never had a baby, but I could have met...
I mean, Natasha, you're the only female here, and I don't know that much about the changes
a woman's body goes through, but when does your pussy start getting wet?
Is that like an adolescence thing?
Like, is it totally dry until you're 13 years old?
Oh, no.
Really?
It gets wet way before that.
Well, I was very advanced.
I was, uh, yeah.
Yeah.
I couldn't wait for sex.
Really?
That is interesting, because, you know, boys can get boners before they can come.
Yeah.
But I wonder if, yeah, like, girls, if vaginas can get wet before you can, like, be sexual.
Can't wait.
Now, can...
And I'm totally serious about this.
I don't know.
Can...
Okay, guys, I remember, yeah, you can't come until you hit puberty.
You've got to have a dream or something.
Yeah.
Don't you have, like, a dream?
Is that the first time?
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes.
But do girls have orgasms before they hit puberty?
I remember, like, just rubbing my chair.
Like, rubbing on my chair when I was, like, in second grade.
The teacher must have thought I was...
I don't know.
I used to go down to...
Oh, never mind.
I think my parents listen to this.
Yeah, my dad is stalking me, so I'm sure he's...
Yeah.
Wait, your dad's stalking you?
Like, online.
Really?
Yeah.
Like, if he would have spent a quarter of the time he spends on my Facebook page on raising
me, I would not be a comedian.
And someone will post pictures, like, just bad pictures.
You know, everyone's tagging you and my dad, as soon as they'll post to just call me up,
are you okay?
You look sick in these...
What was that like, the San Antonio College you did?
You look terrible.
Is everything okay?
Like, he's just...
Really?
He's just, like, on my page.
What a nice supportive father.
You look terrible.
Well, I'm just saying he's just, like...
He's very interested in your career.
That's great, though.
I mean, you know...
Yeah, now that I'm on Chelsea lately.
He gets...
He gets pussy, because I'm on Chelsea lately.
Really?
Yeah.
What kind of pussy?
Like, shallow...
Shallow...
Dry.
Jagged.
I don't know.
Almost like a cave, like a labyrinth.
Right.
Yeah, like...
A lot of stalagmites.
Twisty and turny.
Mosse.
Stalagmites.
Stalagmites?
Is that...
I'm not a pussy comic.
I don't know how this took a turn.
I know.
Via Martin Lawrence.
I was just thinking about Martin.
Harris, a lot of people know you from the show, because you're on a lot, and you have
a very popular segment on the show.
And you do it every time you're here.
Natasha, have you heard Harris' segment before?
No, no.
What is it?
Okay, well, it's called Harris' phone corner.
Phone corner.
No, phone corner.
Oh.
We've talked about this before, Harris.
The phone corner is something totally different.
Yeah, that's like a phone party.
It's a whole...
Where you read jokes in the middle of a phone party, where there's suds in the...
Yeah.
So this is the phone corner, and explain for Natasha a little bit about what happens to
her.
Well, I typically...
You know, you probably have this too, where you'll wake up in the middle of the night with
an idea for a joke, and you'll jot it down.
Or you'll be sitting in a waiting room, and an idea will strike you.
Put it in your...
I put mine in my phone, in my notes portion of my...
So you have a notes app.
Yeah.
A lot of people are really interested in the ins and outs of the phone corner, and how
it works.
Sure, sure.
Yeah, it's an app.
Basically, you have a notes app that...
Do you have an iPhone?
Yeah, it's an...
Yes.
So it's what comes standard with the iPhone.
So anyone who has an iPhone could ostensibly imitate the phone corner.
Right.
Anyone that has an iPhone, any model of an iPhone has a notes thing.
And you can do your very own phone corner.
Do we know that if someone has a droid, for instance, does that have a notes app?
I don't know.
I don't know anything that's not Steve Jobsian.
Engineer Doug, can we do some research on that about whether other types of phones have
notes capabilities, notation capabilities?
I bet they do.
Well, I just text myself.
You can do that.
You text yourself.
Okay, now that's not exactly what Harris does.
No.
So I would not suggest doing that for the listener.
I used to do that prior to my iPhone, actually.
But, oh, God, this is so...
The texting fees.
This is so boring.
What?
The jokes on your phone?
Explaining the app part of this.
Okay.
I disagree.
All right.
All right.
Well, actually, it probably is more entertaining than what it actually is.
Okay, so what you do is you write down jokes and then the segment...
But these jokes are all unusable.
I don't use these on stage ever.
They're like my fucking weird, dumb stuff that you will never try.
But I read them here and then Scott just makes fun of them.
So it's like you're live tweeting them, Scott?
Yeah, right.
And whoever listens to this.
Right.
Who so ever listens to this podcast?
Yes.
Believe it in, Harris.
Right.
All right, here we go.
So are you ready to do the phone corner?
Well, okay.
And, Natasha, I want you to chime in on these.
I just have a question as to why he thought it was called foam corner.
Well, it's been a...
There's a lengthy debate about what it's called over the past few episodes.
All right, so Natasha, are you ready?
I like foam corner.
You prefer foam corner?
Back to foam corner, then.
Okay.
Harris, and do we have a theme song for this?
Okay, so let's...
First of all, before we do this, let's hear the theme song.
Okay, are we ready?
Sure.
All right, here we go.
All right, so great.
Phone corner theme.
Now, Natasha, are you ready?
I'm ready.
Okay, Harris, are you ready?
I am.
Yes.
You were born ready?
No, because I wasn't.
That would have been a lie.
I had no cognitive ability.
I was a child.
I was a baby.
All right, here we go.
I've been ready since I was three.
So, how do we do this again?
Do we count them off or...?
Here's what happens.
All right, listen.
Actually, I'm going to flip the script today, Scott.
Whoa.
Hot sauce.
Anyone can come in here.
Anyone that's me can just come in here and just rattle off some fucking brilliant jokes.
Like, just an example.
I bought a backpack at a store yesterday, and the woman at the register asked if I wanted
a bag for it, and I said, lady, that's what it is.
So anyone can just say that, you know.
So wait, does that not count as one of the phone corner jokes?
He was reading off his phone.
Anyone can just point out that it's silly that when you're in a cold car and you want
heat, cold air comes out of that thing first.
It makes you colder.
They got to fix that.
Anyone can point out that.
I think you're right.
So I'm here to show today that I'm also, you know, you have a lot of characters on this
show.
A lot of people come in, they got characters, and I love that part of this show.
And people probably don't know that I also do that.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Are you saying that you're about to abandon the phone corner?
I'm saying I'm calling an audible, and I'm going to unveil my new creation.
This is, and if I may coin a phrase, a game changer.
Yeah, that's a great way to put it.
Changing the game, yeah.
Yeah, it's not bad, right?
I don't know.
Okay, so you're going to try a character?
Yeah, with the expertise of a domian or a daily.
Okay.
John or Andy.
All right, so this is a first for Iris's appearances on the show.
Right, and then, you know, if people want the phone corner after this, I understand.
Tell them to write in.
I think we could put up a Vota on the blog.
Yeah, should Harris stick to characters or go back to the phone corner?
I think we'll get a pretty good idea.
Oh, we should put a neither option in there.
Right, and then I just never come back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, we'll make sure we put a neither.
I know a couple people want that.
Walt from the ear-wolf comment section.
All right, so here we go.
Debuting a character, is there anything we need to know about this character before we begin?
This is Jack, and he works at a lumber store.
Jack from the lumber yard?
I don't know.
Okay, and how do we get into this? Do you just start talking?
Well, okay.
Creek Slam, that was the door.
Oh, that wasn't you talking?
I was going to say it's a very weird thing for Jack, though, from the lumber yard to...
Creek Slam.
Hey, Creek Slam's it.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm, my name is Jack.
Working at a lumber yard.
Hi, Jack.
Thanks for having me.
Hi, it's great to meet you.
Thank you so much for coming to the show.
So, you know, because we have an open door policy here, Natasha, you've heard about it.
We let anyone come in who wants to come in.
If they can find the ear-wolf studios.
We just let anyone come in and we talk to them, so let's find out a little bit about Jack,
who you say you work at a lumber yard?
I do.
All right, so, Jack, you know, it's kind of interesting.
Your name is Jack, and you work at a lumber yard.
It's almost like you're a lumberjack.
I never thought about that.
Actually, my father's name was Carl, and it's actually called Carl's Lumber.
Hmm, okay.
Natasha, any questions?
So, is a lumber yard, is that, are you working out in nature, or are you like working at Home Depot?
It's my own store.
Where is it?
It's in Van Nuys.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I have a wife.
Marjorie.
She's the love of my life.
What does she do?
She works there, too.
It's fascinating.
It's just nice to meet someone in Hollywood who does something.
Who's just kind of normal.
Yeah.
How much money do you make every year?
Well, that's a little personal, but I do, I make a comfortable living.
Okay, huh.
All right, well, let's dig deeper.
How would you describe Marjorie's pussy?
I don't know if that's appropriate.
It was just a callback from earlier.
Yeah, it's just...
I wasn't here.
Oh, right, I forgot about that.
All right, well, let's find out a little bit about your psychology.
Why did you become a lumberman?
Well, as I said, my father Carl, it was his business, and then I took it over.
Oh, boy.
You should call it Jack's Lumber.
It's funny.
All right, well, this is...
I don't know.
Natasha, what do you think about this guy?
Well, I'm just interested to get a little deeper.
Okay, yeah.
Let's pry.
Let's probe.
Time out.
Oh, okay, so we're back to Harris?
It's me.
It's Harris again.
How's it going?
I'm really going for the subtle thing.
It's maybe a bit too subtle, a little dry.
Most of the characters who come in here have kind of a skewed point of view, which we exploit.
Oh.
Oh.
Your character seems a little too normal.
I was playing it very naturalistic, I think.
I think we got that.
Natasha?
Yeah, he seemed pretty natural.
Yeah.
Is there anything you could do to jazz it up?
You know, put some bio-digital jazz in there?
Maybe give him an accent.
Yeah, that would be great.
Okay.
You want to try that?
Okay, okay.
So, time back in?
Time in.
Okay.
This is Creek.
Slam.
Sit.
Right.
Hi, Jack.
Great to see you again.
Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks.
Okay, this is a little better.
This is a little better.
So, how's life at the lumberyard lately?
It's good.
Natasha?
Do you like Martin Lawrence?
I don't know who that is.
What kind of TV do you watch?
Anything on the big three networks.
Aren't there four big networks now?
Technically, Fox is sort of a mini-network.
VH1, Fuse, and G4.
All right, we're good.
Yeah, this is a little better.
See, he's not as normal.
He had kind of a funny answer there.
I like this.
Time out.
Okay, okay.
Harris is back.
I don't think that was going well.
I'm going to go back to what I came in here to do.
That was funny.
It was a little bit funnier, Harris.
You don't agree?
I was just like goofy.
I like the natural comedy.
I'm going back to Jack.
Creek.
Slam.
Sit.
Hi, Jack.
Hello.
What did you do last night, Jack?
I went out to dinner with my wife, Marjorie.
Where'd you go?
Tony Roma's.
What'd you have?
Chicken.
Seems like more of a rib place.
If you're going by the menu.
Hey, do you got any babies?
I have three grown children.
Really?
How old are you?
59.
Good answer.
All right.
How old is Marjorie?
57.
Okay.
How long have you been married?
30 years.
Since you were?
27.
29.
Yes.
Right.
She was 27.
And what made you fall in love with Marjorie?
Her sense of humor.
And how kind she is.
Okay.
Let's time out.
Time out.
This is going nowhere, Harris.
What?
It's an art.
He's purposely giving you the least thing.
I don't think so.
I don't think you have any kind of imagination, Harris.
First the foam corner and then this dud.
I don't know if this is a dud.
We haven't had the poll yet.
Online to see if people liked it or not.
I don't know.
I think people like subtle comedy.
I mean, I don't know that you can even call that comedy.
Harris has clearly put a lot of time into this.
Yeah.
What did you do to kind of create this character?
He opened his mouth.
And my brain and my heart.
I kind of just like took in, it's an amalgamation of like a bunch of different people.
You know Lumberjack?
No.
You know someone named Carl or Jack?
No.
Okay.
I just like see people walking around and I go, that'd be good.
I'm just telling you how I create my thing.
Okay, okay.
I don't know.
I don't know, man.
I feel free to go back and forth from Jack to Harris throughout the show.
But I for one am not digging it.
But we'll put the poll up.
We'll put the poll up.
Should Harris just do foam corner?
Or stick to the character?
Stick to the character or never be on the show again.
Okay.
And vote from your heart.
You know?
Yeah.
Whatever you truly feel, we want to know.
It's not going to hurt your feelings, right?
It absolutely will.
Alright, well why don't we take a break here.
When we come back, we'll have a little more Natasha Legerro.
We'll have more of either Harris or Jack, the Lumberjack.
And this is Fly the Concords.
We'll be right back with a little more CDR Radio.
If you want me to, I can hang around with you.
If I own a new, that's what you're into.
You and him, him and you.
If that's what you're into, him hanging around.
Around you, you're hanging around.
Yeah, you're that too.
And if you want me to, I will take off all my clothes for you.
I'll take off all my clothes for you.
If that's what you're into.
How about him in the nude?
If that's what you're into.
In the nude in front of you.
Is that what you'd want of you?
If it's cool with you, I'll let you get naked too.
It could be a dream come true.
Providing that's what you are into.
Is that what you're into?
Him and you in the nude.
That's what he's prepared to do.
Is that the kind of thing that you think you might be into?
And that may be later.
We'll get hot by the refrigerator.
In the kitchen next to the pantry.
You think that might be what you fancy.
In the bath, being rude.
Doing stuff with the food.
Getting nude with his food.
We heard that's what you are into.
Then on our next date.
Well, you could bring your roommate.
I don't know if Stu is keen too.
But if you want, we could double team you.
How about you and two dudes, him, you and Stu.
In the nude, being nude with two dudes for food.
Well, that says Stu's into it too.
All the things I do.
Things I'd do for you.
If I only knew.
That's what you're into.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Hey, it's Comedy Deathly Radio.
This is Hot Saucerman.
And I'm here with comedian
Natasha Ligero and person Harris Wittles.
And...
I'm back.
I've D-rolled.
And we're getting to know him.
We just had a disastrous first segment
with Harris' debut of his new character.
I don't mean to color the poll,
but go to yourwolf.com
We'll have that poll up.
And Natasha, I want to get to know you.
You know, the same way that we got to know Jack there.
Can there be a section
to see if I come back on the Ear Wolf poll as well?
Yes, definitely.
You have a wide open invitation.
Anytime you want to drop by.
Okay, good.
I don't know that much about you, to be honest.
I know you grew up somewhere else.
I grew up in Illinois.
Illinois, that's right.
And I live...
Rockford, Illinois.
That's where I'm from, have you heard of it?
Don't go back there.
Oh, is that from a song?
Rockford's like the city equivalent of this conversation.
It may be Rockville, by the way.
Yeah, I think you are.
Rockford is a cheap trick.
Yes! Well, Rockford, cheap trick is from Rockford.
Alright, so did you know them growing up?
I would wait on them when I worked at the grocery store.
Really?
They all still live there.
I mean, I would serve them.
Oh, okay.
Serve them what?
You know, like whatever it's called when you're a cashier.
Ringin' them up!
I would ring them up.
Great interjection, Harris.
Appreciate that.
So you were a cashier?
Yeah. Oh, actually, I have this article from my home town newspaper.
My friend just sent me this, so I've been...
Oh, cool.
I've been reading it to my friends.
Oh, I love it. Yeah, I want to hear this.
Okay, so it's called Armless Woman Refused Service at McDonald's.
This is a real news story.
This is from your home town.
Rockford Register Star.
Rockford, Illinois woman Don Larson, who was born without arms,
was refused service at a McDonald's drive-thru
when the staff refused to let her take away her food with her feet.
Larson, pulled up to the first window,
gave the cashier her credit card
with her foot, and was told by the cashier,
girl, you ain't got no arms.
You can look that up.
That's where I'm from.
Girl, you ain't got no arms.
Yeah.
And that is a refusal.
Yeah.
That's how they treat you there.
Did that ever happen to you with any members of Cheap Trick
when you were ringin' them up at the...
No, I'm polite. I'm a lady.
Been to college.
Where'd you go to college?
I went to Hunter College.
Oh, right.
Well, that's where I got my degree.
A degree in what?
Theater criticism.
Really? Yeah!
Now, what kind of stuff would you critique back then?
We would go to the theater and write up reviews.
So Broadway.
What you think of that motherfucker, Molière?
Molière?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know that I ever reviewed Molière.
I do like Molière.
The misanthrope?
The misanthrope is a good one.
Tartuffe.
That's good, too.
I can't believe you're a lumberjack, and you know about Tartuffe.
No, that wasn't the lumberjack. That was Harris.
We all know Harris went to Harvard,
and so he knows a lot about this kind of stuff.
I didn't even know about Harvard.
They didn't go there.
Until I was like 20.
No one got the...
Yeah, and you're very sheltered in the Midwest.
So no one's talking about Harvard when you went to...
When they never sat me down at high school,
they just wanted me to work as a cashier
probably for the rest of my life.
So...
I live in L.A. now.
Oh, we have this thing...
I want to tell you about this thing we have now
because I saw them this morning.
Have you ever seen the gangsters outside painting?
They have to paint...
Painting over graffiti?
Yeah, it's called the L.A. beautification.
So when they get caught doing graffiti,
they then have to paint over it?
I wonder what's worse for them.
It seems like jumpsuit or...
Bring a sand to the beach.
In what way?
No, but they've graffitied it.
Yeah, but it's just like encouraging them to paint some more.
Yeah.
Well, there's this thing now called the L.A. gang tours.
What is that?
Have you seen that? What do you mean?
It's a tour bus that takes you to the most dangerous parts of L.A.
and all the gangsters have agreed to a ceasefire.
Around the bus?
No, because they are taking you through comp.
They're taking you to all these terrible places.
And the gangsters have all said that they won't shoot
during this tour.
It's $100 a seat. It's sold out through June.
And I've been trying to get a seat,
because I just want to know who is on the bus.
Because you know it's just a bunch of white people in safari outfits
who want to look at minorities
through bulletproof glass.
Oh, Harold.
Ever since that NWA song,
I have been dying to see Compton.
He comes with a bag of crack to feed them.
Who was that?
That's my impression of an old lady
in binoculars.
Do you think she knows Jack?
Hey, Jack, are you here?
Not us.
Creek.
Slam.
Hi, Jack. Hello.
Have you met, what is your name, ma'am?
My name is Maud.
Hello, Maud. How are you?
I'm Jack and I'm fine.
It is great to meet you.
You too.
Well, Jack...
Do you like lumber?
You know,
I have been asked that several times
and I would have to say no comment.
You should really try it out.
What do you mean try it out?
I got a store.
Why do you sell at that store?
Well, lumber.
Oh!
Well, I think that...
Okay, yeah.
That could be a good improv
where you just give each other nothing
each time.
It's hard to do.
It is hard to do.
Absolutely the unentertaining.
Can I just say
that I'm really not making this up.
This is an actual thing called the LA gang tour.
And I just don't understand
the idea of glorifying gang culture.
Well, you know, some would say
that some of the movies and CDs
about over the years sort of glorify the culture.
Right, but I mean, what do they do?
All they do when they're not killing each other
is they're spray-painting their nicknames
on your fence.
You know when they're not killing each other?
When those tours are rolling through there.
Maybe it's a good thing.
That's the solution.
Let's get these tours 24 hours a day.
24 hours a day.
My brother's kind of a...
Well, he's a rapper,
but he used to do a lot of graffiti.
He's like, you throw a fat fucking piece up there.
That place is yours.
I'm like, no one thinks you own Costco.
Your brother sounds fast.
We've talked about him a little bit.
He's a good rapper.
He's really talented at graffiti.
I don't know what happened.
What's his rap name?
Nickname. What was his graffiti name?
It's not Nicknamer.
Nicknamer.
That's like a radio head out.
It's really long when we go out.
Okay, so when we go out,
check out that.
Now, Harris, we've learned a little bit about Natasha.
Let's learn a little bit about you.
Okay, well, actually,
I brought someone here today.
When you say you brought someone,
what do you mean by that?
I mean, I brought like a friend.
Like a pet?
No, I wouldn't say that. It's a person.
A human being?
Yeah, yeah. And I've actually been tutoring
this guy.
Where is he out in the waiting room?
Open up the door.
Greek.
Open.
Oh, okay.
Who is this? He looks familiar to me.
It should look familiar.
He's pretty famous.
This is actually George VI.
King George VI.
Wait, the famous King from England.
That's right.
Hello, sir. Your Majesty is...
You can call me...
That's right. Your Highness, your king.
Perfect. Your Highness, your king.
Your Majesty.
Oh, okay. Well, welcome, Your Majesty.
What brings you by the Errol Studios?
Well, I'll explain.
He's actually been trying to try his hand
at stand-up comedy.
Oh.
And he came to me to kind of tutor him on it.
And I think...
What did you hear about Harris?
I mean, it's kind of an unconventional choice
to teach you about stand-up comedy.
Um...
I...
That's right.
I hurt.
Oh, okay.
Okay, let's try this.
Yeah.
Why don't we
put some music on?
Like, pretty...
Let me try.
Okay, you're going to try a joke?
Is this red?
Is this what?
Is this red light?
Yes.
Oh, yes, the red lights.
We're on.
So, we're going to put on a song.
No, no, no. Just have him try it first.
Maybe he...
I would love to hear just kind of what happens
if he does it on his own.
All right.
Did...
Did...
Did you hear...
Did you hear...
Did you hear the one about the man
with
five dicks?
For the one about five dicks.
Did you hear the one about the man with five dicks?
No, Your Majesty.
He's...
His palms feet.
Like a glove.
His palms feet like a glove.
His palms feet like a glove. That's funny.
That's pretty...
Yeah, you do.
That's a good joke.
That's not bad.
Did you write that joke, Harris?
No, he brought that to me.
So, he brought the material and your...
You're the performance coach.
Street joke, you say, Your Majesty?
Street joke. Take home, Duke.
Okay.
Now, so that's what happens when he just does it.
Well, that's great. Congratulations.
Well, it's very nice to meet you.
Do not pander to me. I knew it did not go well.
Maybe it could have gone a little better.
So, I mean, I would like to try the method
that I was talking about where,
you know, you play a song.
It will never work. Maybe. It will work.
It will never work.
God, he's so hard to deal with.
How do you do this? It's a lot of patience.
I hope you're getting paid well.
Oh, I am.
Fine, let's try it.
All right, now, Engineer Doug,
if you could play a song and just, you know,
if you don't hear yourself,
you know, so...
A man and a woman started to have sex
in the middle of the dark forest.
After about 15 minutes of it,
the man finally gets up and says,
damn, I wish I had a flashlight.
A woman says, me too.
You've been eating grass for the past 10 minutes.
Huh. Can't bloody do it.
You did it. You did it.
That was it. You said it perfectly.
We all heard it. Yeah, it was great.
You're a man to stay the king.
I did not do well.
You did well. I'm going to send you...
We record all these on old 45s, right?
Yeah, very old 41.
And you'll listen to it, trust me,
but if you don't believe me...
I will never be the king of comedy.
Is that what you're trying to achieve?
You will be. One of the original kings of comedy?
Yes.
All right, let's try this other thing.
What?
If you can't say it,
maybe you could sing it.
I know it's going to sound crazy,
but just like if you sing it,
I think it'll work.
Like singing a joke, you mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, like they did in the king's speech
when he sang his speech.
I don't know what that is.
For he's a jolly good fellow.
For he's a jolly good fellow.
Will the man replies you be the judge?
I just fucked my retarded baby sister.
That was pretty good.
That was the best one so far.
You should always say your joke.
Be able to do it without singing.
No, it's funny to sing them.
I'm not a troubadour.
You're a chanteuse.
What?
Isn't that a singer?
That's kind of insulting to the king of old England.
Sounds French.
Alright, well that surely
must be the last technique that you have.
It is.
Something fresh out of techniques.
Well, you know,
maybe at some point you'll be able
to do it without singing, without music playing.
I don't know.
In the rest of the show,
I will try to add,
add,
add,
add,
add,
adlib.
Adlib, adlib.
Now, I've always heard
it's very frustrating for someone who stutters
to try to tell them
what they're trying to say.
They know what they're trying to say.
Do not try to tell me what
I'm trying to say.
Say.
No.
Stop it.
I'm trying to sit.
Okay, great.
Don't tell me what I'm trying to sit.
Oh boy.
Natasha?
What do you got?
Anything for King George?
Well, you know, another technique you could do
is you could, a lot of comics,
you could just start saying fucker.
Oh yeah, cursing.
Cursing.
In between the jokes.
That kind of, kind of does.
That's a little sophisticated for him.
A motherfucking genie
promises a fucking
cunt.
Nigga, man.
Two wishes.
The man says,
kike.
Shit-ho, cock-sucker, nigga.
I wish I could be hard
at all times
and get
faggots.
I want
the genie
cunt.
Dyke.
Your wish is my command.
And poof.
The fucking
juggle bunny turns into a toilet.
See, now we missed the whole joke.
A little confused about which of those
curse words belonged in the joke
and which didn't.
All right, well.
He wanted it to be hard all the time
and get all the asses he wanted to do at toilet.
How? He's cured.
I knew that would work.
Natasha, you're a genius.
I'm stepping aside as a comedy tutor.
All right, so why don't we take a break
when we come back. We'll have a little more
of Natasha Legerro, a little more Harris Whittles,
and more of King George. This is
the girl on the flying trapeze.
We'll be right back.
She's the sweetest thing
that's ever
flown in
with a breeze.
And if you see her
tell her that
I'm in love with her.
She's the girl
on the flying trapeze.
She's the sweetest thing
that's ever
flown in with a breeze.
And if you see her
tell her that
she's the girl
on the flying trapeze.
She's the sweetest thing
that's ever
flown in with a breeze.
And if you see her
tell her that
I'm in love with her.
She's the girl
on the flying
trapeze.
Hey!
She's the girl
on the flying
trapeze.
Whoa!
When I close
my eyes
I see her there
swinging through my dreams
and I want so bad
to tell her, yeah
how I really feel
She's the girl
on the flying
trapeze.
She's the girl
on the flying
trapeze.
All right, this is Comedy Death Ray Radio.
I am Hots Osterman
and
we're here with Natasha Legerro,
Harris Whittles, and King George the
it
six.
Sorry, I'm stuttering, the six.
Six.
It's very frustrating for me when you answer for me.
All right,
specifically
the entertainment news.
There's a fellow named Charlie Sheen,
maybe you guys have heard of him
who is out there
growing out and being crazy, right?
Right, Natasha?
I think he's in the midst of a manic episode
and he just happened to do a self-appointed
press junket
during his manic episode.
He's been doing a lot of press lately
and what I thought was really
interesting, I kind of
wondered if this was the first time in history
that entertainment history, at least,
that something like this had ever happened
and I found out that no, it is not.
I actually was
digging through previous episodes of Comedy
Death Ray Radio from the 40s
when my grandfather used to do it
and my grandfather, Scott,
of course we all know I am Hots Osterman,
but Scott Ockerman used to...
It was back in his hot saucer scene
and he had to change it.
Scott Ockerman the first, he used to host the show
and back in 1949
I found this clip
of an interview
he did with Jimmy Stewart.
Take a listen to this interview here.
I welcome
to Comedy Death Ray Radio.
Today we have Jimmy Stewart on the show
to address the controversy between him and Frank Capron
on the set of It's a Wonderful Life.
I don't know what a controversy
is, I'm just hitting my marks
and delivering gold.
I have the focus of a Vatican
assassin, Scott
Tiger Blood
a duh
a wedding.
Well, Jimmy, Capra says that you
come to work every day hungover from having
partied all night.
Frank Capra more like Franco
Caprolini
you know what I mean
he's a hadega
he's a wop
he's a mozzarella head
he's a spaghetti sucker
sure I've been partying about this
because I live in a different, a terrestrial realm
than you. I'm a warlock
I'm a grand wizard master
aren't you worried though
that your behavior will keep it's a wonderful life
from being completed?
Maybe it'll be complete if I have to do it myself
that daigo can't stop me
I'm a heat-seeking missile
I will destroy you to feed
this is not an option
a duh
a wedding
a winner
I can turn Capra's tin cans
into pure gold
I love with violence
and I hate with violence
resentment is the rocket fuel
that lives in the tip of my saber
it fuels my
battle cry to my deadly
and dangerous secret and silent soldiers
because they're all around you
you think you're only messed with one dude?
sorry
no
I'm a war
I'm winning
wow
I can't believe you found that
I can't believe I even thought to look for it
let alone find it
King George what'd you think about that?
I found it
very
entertaining
now into the door and close it
I found it
very into the door and close it
I like the spirit
he says
all the things that we are afraid to say
that we're what?
afraid to say
well
it's just funny to me
so what do you think is funny about it?
just like the crashing and burning of a man
do you think he's crashing and burning?
some might say he's more popular than ever
yeah but
he's low handing out
it's not a good type of
publicity
well I don't know
if three weeks ago he had joined twitter
he never would have gotten a million followers
but the promise of him
kind of just like being real
well that's like what's the mark of success
is it twitter followers or is it nasal cartilage
and the ability to live
that is an excellent point
thank you
the ability to live
makes you a success
I mean then you would say almost everyone on the planet
is a success
that's a beautiful way to look at it Scott
I don't think he's on cocaine
that is crazy
I think he's just done Adderall or something
well
Adderall essentially is that
have you ever tried Adderall?
that amps you up
try that with alcohol
I do
it's fun
to do list
then you do all the stuff on the to do list
what's the deal with your drug usage
what is your drug?
well I took a lot of mushrooms
on New Year's Eve
and at a fish concert
where did you take them?
it was at fish
you went to a fish concert?
I went to three
I didn't know you were into fish
this is an important part of his character
yeah
really?
yeah it's insane
I don't understand that kind of music
where you just kind of like there's no songs
you just kind of follow the music
where do you follow them to?
it's just like this like
jam band right?
yeah they kind of jam out
and they just sort of like noodle around
and they go
I don't want to turn this into
why are the noodles
the noodles in the music
I can't see now
I'm not judging you
I would like to actually experience it
I've never seen it
there's a few grateful dead songs I like
half full of rain is what it's called
box of rain that's a nice one
I like when there's songs
all fish songs are songs
in a regular song someone would have
a guitar solo
they just do that for a long time
and then what do you do while they're doing it?
you be on mushrooms
you be on mushrooms?
and that helps you in what way
do you think? is it like being stoned?
does your mind open?
I've gone to concerts just like stoned too
I also went to 20 of them sober
because I was like I just want to hear the music
and then I was like I have to get
but I do really like them
do you like follow the actual tour bus
like on the interstate?
no you just go from city to city
what can I always think?
honking at it the whole entire way
some people follow them and don't even go to the
concerts and just like following them
that is true people just hang out on the lot
and sell grilled cheese sandwiches
that's what my brother did
he sold grilled cheese at the Grateful Dead
gubaos
ganja gubaos that's another thing
because they can't afford always to get into the show
because that would be a lot of money right?
right and none of them do anything with their lives
ever so they just follow them around
every single fish head
that has ever existed
you are the most successful
well actually I'd say
and I don't mean nasal cartilage
and being alive
I mean monetarily
I would say
Bill Walton
who is he?
he's on the Lakers
Fred Savage I saw him
I didn't see him at a fish show
just one though?
do they have box seats for the successful fish?
no he was right next to
me and my friends
so Fred Savage gets into
why would you want to sit in a box?
well
so say Fred Savage gets into
fish right? he has to
go to a concert knowing that he's got to be next
to a bunch of shirtless dudes who are on mushrooms
who are going to recognize him from the wonder years
you think he'd want a VIP
fish section?
yeah I don't know
there's only two people with jobs though
I think the people are pretty nice at
those shows and they don't really bother him
my friends actually were bothering him and he moved
your friends were
and your friends are probably the coolest people there
thank you
that was really nice
I'm sorry I have a very negative view of that band
I should open my mind
can we play a song?
Conan O'Brien he likes him
I saw him at a fish show
there's a big difference between seeing someone
he's been to a few I think he actually likes them
okay
wait
such a feral mix of people though
you need to run what song you're going to play
by me
no no no we're just going to play whatever comes up
every band you like has a shitty song though
there's going to be slapping bass I already feel
alright here we go slapping bass
this is fish with Waste
live
Waste
it's like a fucking ballad
this is a piss break song for me
you have to piss a lot
when you go see fish
is that par for the course
how can you break your piss
can we hear another song I can't believe this is the one
that is chosen
girls like this song
I can do it without the hurrah
hurrah
don't be an actor
don't what
damn
don't want to be a writer
with my thoughts out on the page
oh dear
don't want to be a painter
who's writing
they write on mushrooms
don't want to be anything
can I call
time out
that was the worst lyric I've ever heard
give me three other songs that are on there
because that's really not representative of what they do
well let's do a jukebox story with us
what would you
how would you critique that being a theater critic
I would say
that makes me wish
I don't know
had archer syndrome
where you immediately go deaf
whenever you hear
something that's unpleasant
I would like her to hear a song that
hold on we're still critiquing this one King George
what was the name of it
Waste
that's what I thought it was
those are bad lyrics though
so hold on do we have a
Natasha do you give a
that's what I was saying that's their fucking ballad
do you give it mustard or pants
I would say pants but I do want to hear a good
okay so pants King George
mustard and then
Harris what do you got
I gotta defend it
what does Jack think about it
slam
hi Jack would you give that mustard or pants
I thought it was pretty
okay great all right so
let's get Harris back here and then we'll do
what's what's one
what do we have next engineer this is ghost
parenthesis jam
all right
you forgot to say that that was very important
reminds me of a state fair
here
they can play
this is like that Seinfeld base
is this the same guy who did the Seinfeld theme song
I would rather listen to this than the
red hot chili peppers though
this is actually
a very good sound
I can see how you can get into the jam
it's like jazz or something like it repeats
the motifs
that's a little gay
yeah that's spacey though
if you're like
whatever you don't have to be fucked up to like it
but if you are fucked up then you like it
I could see how you could connect to that music
you could connect to that music
you could
what music do you jump to
I think in order for me to like something it has to have
some pop structure
like a hook and a chorus
a hook and a chorus but nothing that's
like overproduced like all the music now
oh so all the compression
whatever they're doing
auto tune
yeah I like something that's kind of raw
with guitars and has
some a hook
uh huh raw guitars and hook
so what is your favorite
my favorite what
that's not like the Beatles or something
um
I mean I think
nobody has a favorite song
there's two kinds of music good music and bad music
my favorite song is bat dance
we all know that
from the bat dance soundtrack
the one person I would go see is Morrissey and I know that does not explain
that doesn't really
okay let's get a Morrissey song
and then Harris can critique that
but the Smiths would be the best
I like the Smiths so I wish
who do you like that I hate
let's do that
we probably have similar taste in music
right we both love fish
I don't love fish
that is a it's a weird thing about you Harris
that most people who know you it's very
surprising yeah you like
something so shitty
you have such great taste
in everything but jokes
and music
that comprise who I am those lyrics
Harris those were those were
wretched those well yeah
they yeah I'm not gonna defend those lyrics
I think that's a
pretty like whatever they should have been singing about being
the last of the international
playboys
that's like
if you were to
say like if you were to introduce someone
to the Beatles and then Doug
played fucking Octopus's
that would have been the equivalent of that
so if you're saying that
Octopus's Garden is what a bat song
it's not a great Beatles song that's my second favorite song
it goes bat dance
we should be talking about your weird taste
in music
and do the Bartman
those are the three
the triumvirate
I'd say my favorite song is the Macarena
really that's a great one
it's my favorite dance do people really have favorite songs
yeah I think so
King George what do you got yeah who let the dogs
out
out
out
who let the dogs out
I haven't heard that one
it's a funny parody of who let the dogs out
so it's in the middle of singing
who let the dogs out
the singer
stubs his toe
yes it's a very
alright
well we've learned a lot about
everyone's music
out
that's good
yeah
alright so what did we give that last one
mustard or pants by the way
what's tell me what mustard is
just pants
pants and King George
mustard
pants
Harris we know what you give it
yeah
can we hear I like when Doug
votes because he says mustard
with a Z okay let's hear it
mustard
mustard
why do you say that way Doug
because I like mustard
was it oscar worthy
alright so why don't we take a break
when we come back we'll play a little game
this is Natasha
Harris widdles and King George the
sixth yes and
actually let's play
let's play this one and
alright so this is a comedy together we'll be right back
everyone in town is
if you got a drink well you're drinking
down then we're gonna go have
six
well I just rode into town
on my horse you bet you're on my horse
now that's the thing in the old
best times everybody enjoys
the good news
get thrown out
right out the saloon door
come back in and buy a round of
whiskey guess what
all he's forgiveness
you're calamity jade
and you're another guy that's probably an engine
this whisk is one
oh no
much that smells like piss
so that's a story
the whole wild west is no place for a lady
I'm the bartender for the most
so the mayor
so just put that in
okay
that is a lonely island
and this is comedy death row radio
I am a hot sauce for men this is Natasha
zero Harris riddles
King George the sixth and I think it's time to play
a little would you rather
oh
this is for me
this is for me
make a speech go make a speech
where's the red light
alright we all know how this is played
people send us
would you rather scenarios on our
new Twitter account it's at CDR
WIR
and I will read them
and then I will open the floor for questions
and then
I will close the floor then we'll vote
and we'll tally up the points that's pretty
self-explanatory right now
have you played this before
when you had me two years ago as a guest
oh come on now
you know I've been trying to get you back on this show
oh yeah that's true I forgot
you're very busy I mean
after last comic standing you're
touring exploded I've been touring the
provinces is that what they're called
you're going to Providence
I'm giving the rubes a laugh and getting out
it's the worst
are you on the road a lot now yeah
not right now but I was for a while
now I'm taking a break I'm in town
did you bring a feature act with you
I do why do you want to come sometime
you'd be perfect sure let's do it
I mean not that you should be featuring but
I could
alright so first comes
to us from
Jay Dallas Razo
Josh Dallas Razo who asks
would you rather be the new lead
singer of the Beatles
or eat a shrimp
when anyone says the word
manager
would you rather be the lead singer of the
the new lead singer of the Beatles or eat a shrimp
when anyone says the word manager
I am opening the floor for questions right
I'm sorry I'm going to have to dock you points
for that Harris for asking before the floor
was opened
question
yes Harris or is this Jack
when anyone that I hear
says manager or anyone in the world at any
time says manager I have to eat a shrimp
great question unfortunately it's anytime
anyone in the world says manager
so that could be upwards of 3,000 shrimp
it could be but this is
only English speaking countries so one
would assume Canada
the United States of America
certain parts of other countries
have little English speaking hovels in them
but
ahh
so to answer your question
before King George steps in here
any English speaking
ok other question
or were you just clearing your throat
I was great Britain
perhaps
yes great Britain
would be that's not really a question
Natasha yes
well I love shrimp
however it's not a question
but go on oh I was going to give my answer
oh no no no no I'm so very sorry
if you do that we will have to
it'll be a forfeit
then I would like to do that
if I were to be
I don't want to play this game no no it's very funny
it's a tough one
if I were to be the new
singer for the Beatles
yes the Beatles
what goes now
would they
my stammer make the songs longer
no they would write
their new songs of course
if you were the lead singer of the new Beatles
they wouldn't just rest on their laurels
and go around touring old songs
they would write new songs
and they would write the songs long enough
to incorporate your stammers
it's almost like what fish does
I want to hold
guitar solos
or whatever the fuck he does
they're a lot like stammers
and the band fish
just sort of writes around them
so when I stammer it's really noodling
yeah exactly
a lot of the songs would incorporate those
into it so have no fear
I have a question
is this shrimp
18 count per pound
or 24 count per pound
great question 18
yeah they're a smaller shrimp
so take that into account
can I peel them
great question
you do have to peel them yes
no and you would have to de-brine them as well
if you're into that unless you want to eat
a lot of shrimp poo
would Linda McCartney be playing
Triangle
great question
she would come back to life
Linda McCartney yes
she would come back to life
and she would be very grateful
because
he has been without her
for so long
and she would be relegated to the triangle
and you would be singing
I wouldn't be upstaged by her triangle
no no no no
and what's it called her rebirth
or what is it called when you rise from the deck
her rejuvenation
I guess
reanimation
thank you
you would not be upstaged by that
she would literally be downstage of you
if the shrimp
would I be able to
dip it in
cock
tail sauce
no just cock
oh absolutely yeah
Martin Lawrence would get in there too
there would be some corn on that shrimp
and yeah everything would be
shrimp
Harris
if we were short if we were getting the Beatles back together
it seems
you'd have you as the lead singer
you'd have
the cute one
you'd have Ringo the drummer
and you'd have Linda playing Triangle
if Linda can come back from the dead why can't John
that's a ridiculous question
come on Natasha
can we get
Pete Best back in
that's a great question
Billy Preston
he was the fifth Beatle
so you have
what's the lineup you got
Ringo and Pete Best doing double drums
almost like the Foo Fighters when Dave Grohl would get behind the kick
we're like the Grateful Dead
George Burns
you'd have George Burns from the
Sergeant Pepper movie he'd be in there
you'd have Billy Preston on Oregon
Linda Picartney on Triangle
Paul on bass
and then
whoever you are singing
sounds like a hot mess
and are we singing new songs that we help
write or are we just redoing
some old songs
in fact you will not play any of your old catalog
because you're the new Beatles
all new songs
you're billed as the new Beatles
exactly with Todd Rungren
singing instead
so it's a great band and
everyone goes to see their first tour
oh wow
this is a really hard question
because
two great choices
any other questions on either the eating a shrimp
about manager or
or the Beatles
does it have to be like any kind of manager
like the manager of a gift shop or just like Hollywood kind of managers
great question
it's any kind of manager and anytime anyone says one
because there's a lot of self-appointed managers
what if someone's saying manager's sarcastic
yeah
no that does not count
if they're saying who's your manager
do we have to eat anything if someone says manager
around Christmas
time that could be a problem
yeah I would say no
alright I'm gonna close the floor for questions
and it is closed and now let's go around the horn
and see how you vote Natasha how do you like to vote
which one would I rather do
that is essentially how you play the game
I would rather
I think I'm gonna have to say I'd rather be in the Beatles
in the new Beatles
and why is that
because I like shrimp but I could just buy
my own
and eat it whenever I want
and eat less of it and then not get sick of it
and not have to
you know be around when
people are talking about their manager
that's an interesting way to vote unfortunately
there is no shrimp in this world
when you're the singer of the new Beatles
but oh well
you didn't ask that question
can I go back
no unfortunately you've already voted
how do you like to vote
for the same changer
you can't use that man that's mine
that is mine
only you can use it
I don't want to live in a shrimpless world
hmm
hmm
hmm
hmm
I guess I'm gonna say
shrimp
I'm gonna eat the shrimp whenever someone says manager
because I feel like
I never get tired of shrimp
it's just great finger foods
I'd say the greatest
and
and I think that being forced to eat it
is already a sexual fetish of mine
and
so you walk around with a boner all day
well yeah exactly
just like 24-7 Bonesville
I love that R.E.M. song
don't go back to Bonesville
show running
the TV show Bones
okay great
King George the sixth
eat the shrimp
every time someone says
man
manager
mangy mangy
mangy dog
every time someone says mangy dog
why is that
because I am the king of England
and with that power I can disband the Beatles
the new Beatles
the new Beatles I have power
alright so we have
one for the Beatles
two for manager
okay let's tell you at the points
Harris I had to doc you
Natasha you voted incorrectly
King George you are the winner of that round
we have one more question
this comes to us from Jesse
Sacks or socks
I'm not sure
is it spelled S-O-C-K-S
no it's S-A-C-H-S
cause then it would be socks
right I think it's Sacks
whether it be John Belushi's ghost
or
Jim Belushi's couch
alright let's open up the floor
for questions
would the ghost be played by
Chickas
so wait you're asking if you would be
a ghost played by Chickas
I don't know how that
makes any sense but yes
yes it would
and he would but he would be
portraying it in his three stooges
curly
makeup
from the TV movie the three stooges
Harris
is this the couch
in Jim's dressing room or at home
this is the
couch
on the set of his TV show
that he takes with him
he's on the defenders now but he took the couch
with him
a lot of people don't notice that
no one's talking about it
he brought his couch from according to Jim
to the defenders
all in the family they donated that couch
to the Smithsonian or the chair
Jim Belushi
the Smithsonian asked him for that couch
and he said no I need it on the defenders
playing hardball on that huh
if I was the couch
would I be able to keep the change
that fell into the cushions
great question yes you'd keep
all of Jim Belushi's
extra Blues Brothers money that falls out
you'd be able to keep it and then spend it at
wherever okay well building
on that is it a couch that's
the size of the couch was in Gallagher's
old special where he
jumped on the giant couch
and if so could I keep the giant potato chip
condom
and
crayon
that he found in that cushion great questions
to answer them both
a no b yes
great would the ghost
be changed from
you know like did he learn
from his mistakes
that's great so like
exactly like he was in the 80s
like a Christmas Carol type thing where he
he comes back after having viewed what he did
wrong if it could
like am I going to be a bit yeah
if a ghost does cocaine
does it fall through his nose
well see in Harris's
view of is he a success he is not
on both levels he has no nasal
cartilage and he is not alive
so he has to live with
himself being unsuccessful
in that in that regard but he does
learn from his mistakes yes okay
he is able to as a ghost
travel from
plane to plane and room to room
and use what he learned in order to try
to make his loved ones
better people and can other people see him
occasionally
I have I have a question yes
can I
as the ghost of John Belushi
show my brother Jim Belushi
that I am present by sliding a penny
up a door and then
slow dancing with him
great question I was wondering when you were going to ask
that that is the only way that Jim
Belushi will ever
acknowledge your existence is by
slow dance yeah penny slow dancing
constantly slow dance with my brother
well you have to constantly do the penny as well
every time that you want
to talk to Jim so eventually you just
go you know what Jim as great as he is
he's got a great couch
a lot of blues brothers money falling out
but I just can't hang out with him anymore this whole penny
slow dancing stick is just really getting
all right yeah so that is part of this
unfortunately you lose touch with your
brother Jim
that's a plus
any other questions here on any of the
Natasha you look like you have something on your mind
I mean I just it's
is the ghost wearing
a toga
which would be confusing
since ghost
normally where she eats
but Belushi had a toga
yeah that is a great quote from animal house
he was wearing a toga so be a toga over a
sheet yeah it's he wears both
yeah he wears a toga over a sheet
and then when people say hey aren't
you from animal house he takes off the toga
and people go ah it's a ghost
does that make sense good strategy
really is
if I'm John Belushi can I go back
to SNL
yes of course in fact
you're so popular on it that Lorne Michael's
institutes a only ghost
policy on
SNL so you have the ghost of John
Belushi
can I fuck the ghost of Gildan Radner
oh by all means
you're expected to finally so Gildas
back John's back
you know you got
Terry Sweeney Terry Sweeney's back
Dana Carvey's back Victoria Jackson
Victoria Jackson's back the ghost
of her sense of humor
a Whitney Brown
a Whitney Brown's there
yeah it's a good and
how about Nora Dunn Nora Dunn's back
anyone who is dead now
is back yeah
Ellen Clegghorn Clegghorn's back
yeah they're all back okay
alright so I'm gonna close the oh you
have one more Ellen Clegghorn is back
Ellen Clegghorn is back
yes
that maybe mitigates it a little bit
for you
alright closing the floor for questions
let's start with Harris how do you like to vote
um
god who wants to be a couch
I'll go with
I'm gonna be the ghost he gets to
go back and fucking
go back to SNL and everything
with Clegg's with Clegg's yep alright
Natasha how do you like to vote
it just seems too painful to be
Belushi
so I'm gonna have to say
the couch couching it up
I'm just gonna be a couch
I wish I asked if you have the brain
that you have now as the couch
cause you could just relax
unfortunately you have a bigger brain
oh you're the couch yeah couch size brain
you have more self awareness yeah
but you're a couch yeah exactly
it's not like the dinosaurs where they had a peanut size brain
you have a giant couch size brain
we're actually the smartest sentient
being in the world when you're the couch
because you have a couch size brain
I'm just gonna say the couch because I feel like
did you hear what he just said Natasha
yeah but whatever whenever you
guess the one it's supposed to be
then he says it's wrong
I don't know that that's true I mean it's just
it is what it is okay
uh King George how do you like to vote
I'm going to be the couch because I cannot stand
Ellen Clegg
oh wow
I'm getting a strong feeling on that
alright let's
tally up the points on that
we had two for the couch
and unfortunately the
the ghost was the right answer on that
so Harris you have won
that round
and King George
because Harris answered
or asked that question too quickly
he was disqualified
and got minus a million points
for that so yeah that still puts
me over by a million
I had two million
you had two million but then you're minus
a million but he got one right so it's
one million and one
so congratulations King George
I am the king
he's the big winner and that is how you play
would you rather
is this for me
defend the moat
alright
and that is going to do it
for this show other than of course
the most popular segment
the one that Harris loves so much
it is time for a little thing we call plugs
that was a nice one
that is submitted by
Alec Ogston
that was good Alec
we've had some really good plug songs lately
of course if you have one please
submit it to our
Facebook page
under the plugs thread
in the discussion forums
and let's go around the horn what do you have
Natasha what do you have coming up
well I do do my own podcast called the lavender hour
lavender hour with Duncan Trussell
it's a very funny and charming podcast
it's a salon style
super show
where we get into conversation mostly
Duncan talks about the singularity
salon style super shows
okay good
now it's really funny do you have guests
or is it always just kind of the two of you
we had Reggie Watts a couple weeks ago
and Tim Highdecker and we've had a lot of guests
and you guys are kind of rising up the charts
I saw this week you're getting more and more
popular and more people listening to it
we have very articulate fans
really that's amazing
I've never seen such an intelligent message board
lavenderhour.com
come on by the ear wolf message word sometimes
yeah seriously
you'll see how the other half lives
third world country
I love our fans there
I actually enjoy our message words
when I have a special coming up on Comedy Central
