Homberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail.

[Larry McFeely]

All this sifter talk, you better have some stuff. It's Craig Shoemaker. He's at the Tempe Improv here this week and he's joined us and he's brought a guest, Samantha Hale I'm just going to throw the junior in there.

[Dick Toledo]

She's been warned by the way.

[Larry McFeely]

There's no reason to warn her at all.

[Dick Toledo]

What are you talking about?

[Larry McFeely]

Let me talk about you. Because you introduced us to the beautiful Samantha Hale. And after I said, nice to meet you, Craig says to the whole room, what do you guys want to do with her? It was the worst possible way to introduce yourself to somebody.

[Samantha Hale]

Or the best.

[Larry McFeely]

Or possibly depending on you.

[Dick Toledo]

I meant where do you want her to sit on the microphone? Or do you want her to stay over there? Or do you want to do some formal introduction? I don't know. I don't know how you operate. I know you operate with me. And I have warned her. I said, last time I was here they're having people that looked like my pedophile sending photos.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, that's last two times you were here. And if you want to do it again, let's go for the hat trick. Handlebar mustache.

[Samantha Hale]

Guys available when you fall asleep tonight. I'm totally giving you a handlebar.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, wait a minute. Is that a thing?

[Samantha Hale]

Oh my God.

[Dick Toledo]

That came out wrong. I'm giving you a handle.

[Samantha Hale]

Trying to keep you guys.

[Dick Toledo]

I ended it on hand.

[Samantha Hale]

Okay, we're in different rooms.

[Larry McFeely]

I don't know what that means.

[Dick Toledo]

I think your meta glasses on. I'm going to take care of that, little buddy.

[Larry McFeely]

Does she just wax her pubic hair and sit on your face? I'm not sure exactly how I handle my mustache, so I'm going to invent it though.

[Dick Toledo]

By the way, I hope you replay that for her. She has no idea what she said.

[Samantha Hale]

I know I caught it after I said it. I did.

[Larry McFeely]

Going to catch something.

[Dick Toledo]

We have to work the weekend together.

[Larry McFeely]

At the 10pm that's right. Craig's at the 10pm Prov tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. And you brought. And now it's impossible to ignore Alan Hale's granddaughter, which I don't like. When people introduce somebody for somebody else's thing. You got your own stuff. And to let you tell that story. But Craig's calling everybody. Guess what I'm doing. I'm bringing in.

[Dick Toledo]

I did not say it like that. I was trying to give you some material to lead her into so she could fit in properly.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, she can.

[Dick Toledo]

So she doesn't have any molestation material. So I was saying how else can I get her home?

[Larry McFeely]

Not yet.

[Dick Toledo]

I don't know about the little money.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, it's a big weekend, so. Yes.

[Dick Toledo]

Nobody knows Alan Hale to say the Skipper from. The Skipper from Gilligan's Island.

[Larry McFeely]

I'll let her get to that.

[Dick Toledo]

All right. I'm just trying to. I'm trying to help you travel with this.

[Samantha Hale]

Am I going to lose my right to vote, too?

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, we want to repeal the 19th. There's no doubt about it. We've been. We've.

[Dick Toledo]

I hate that he knew that.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, we got T shirts, Craig. We got T. So you know you're traveling with Craig. Explain the relationship. What. What is happening here?

[Samantha Hale]

It is Skipper little buddy relationship.

[Larry McFeely]

I like what I'm getting.

[Dick Toledo]

What am I.

[Samantha Hale]

You'd be the skipper.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, you think?

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

I hit her with my hat all the time.

[Samantha Hale]

You know what? You have tried to get me out on your boat several times.

[Dick Toledo]

That is true.

[Samantha Hale]

He has now that think about it.

[Dick Toledo]

And I know if you denied every single time.

[Samantha Hale]

I get so seasick.

[Larry McFeely]

He's the Scott Peterson of comedy.

[Samantha Hale]

He really kills.

[Dick Toledo]

We're going fishing.

[Larry McFeely]

She ran with it and you got scared. I like all I want to do with her. Yeah. So are you like. This is just. How did you two meet? What's going on?

[Dick Toledo]

Platonic. When the hand waved in the air. Are you two with the hand?

[Larry McFeely]

I was going to warn her.

[Dick Toledo]

We're going to warn. We've known each other.

[Larry McFeely]

Okay? I'm just making sure.

[Dick Toledo]

We did. We did a show that I will never forget when we. Our first show together. Something happened has never happened in. Come on. What do you look at me like Palm Springs? No, the one in Venice. Oh. It was Harrison Ford's backyard. His old backyard.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, my God.

[Dick Toledo]

And it was during the pandemic. So there was a lap pool between us, between us and the audience. There was a bridge, big moat and a bridge right between us and the audience and all. I kept pictures Harrison Ford raising his kids there, you know, being mean to his kids. Do another laugh, damn it. My whole imagination was him yelling at his kids. You call that a breaststroke?

[Larry McFeely]

And you're doing it in what? You said his old backyard.

[Dick Toledo]

He didn't live there anymore, so somebody else has it. And during the pandemic, they had comedy shows there.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, cool.

[Dick Toledo]

That was our first time ever working together. And during an act right before Samantha goes on and me, it was unbelievable. And he was really far away. He farted. It was the loudest far you ever.

[Larry McFeely]

Loud heard across the pool. Yes.

[Dick Toledo]

There was water echoed through the pool.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

They were in like beach chairs in the audience eating pizza. This is during the pandemic. You did everything during the pandemic. You know what I mean? They're masked up and people. I hated when people yelled at you with the mask on. I always made. With the nose sticking out.

[Larry McFeely]

How did you make everybody putting a.

[Dick Toledo]

Condom on your testicles? What happened to people? So, yes, there was this fart and all of us look. And I had never met Samantha before and we both look each other. Did you just hear that? Did you just hear that?

[Samantha Hale]

Are we acknowledging this?

[Dick Toledo]

Yes. Are we going to acknowledge. And finally the comedian goes, hey, fart. And it ruined his whole act, of course.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah, he blocked himself. He fart blocked himself basically. Like he couldn't recover from his own gas.

[Dick Toledo]

He couldn't recover.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, the comedian was.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, I thought it was a crowd guy. The comedian couldn't recover.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, I got you. Okay.

[Dick Toledo]

He's trying to.

[Larry McFeely]

Show's over.

[Dick Toledo]

The show was over because now everybody heard.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, yeah, it's a thing.

[Dick Toledo]

So you had to acknowledge it.

[Samantha Hale]

But he shot hurt around the pool.

[Dick Toledo]

He couldn't. He couldn't recover.

[Larry McFeely]

That's crazy.

[Dick Toledo]

And we all. It was. The callback though, was the fart. And the kid was so proud of him.

[Samantha Hale]

So proud. Frat, like a frat boy. And him and his buddies, he's like, yeah, I did it.

[Larry McFeely]

Did he have a handlebar mustache? Hey, Craig, remember that smell?

[Dick Toledo]

He was a fan of my. He's come to other shows.

[Samantha Hale]

He was.

[Dick Toledo]

I would say, listen, cashews or.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, yeah, Try. Try to stay off the hummus before the show.

[Dick Toledo]

I never knew that was a fart material.

[Larry McFeely]

Hummus. Oh, I see.

[Dick Toledo]

I was not aware of that. But anyway, he was having a pizza, which is also. So anyway, that's when we met. We. We did that show together.

[Larry McFeely]

And then you said, you want to get on my boat? And she said, no. And then you just followed.

[Dick Toledo]

Shot that one down.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. Have you been on his boat yet?

[Samantha Hale]

No, I. I get so seasick. Like, I will die on his boat.

[Larry McFeely]

That's a good move. Smart. What else haven't you been in? What other mode of transportation have you avoided with crash? A city bus with me. No.

[Dick Toledo]

Got in my van.

[Larry McFeely]

I get city bus sick.

[Dick Toledo]

Skipper had no problem in a van.

[Samantha Hale]

His Porsche is great. Oh, even though I do have to tell you, I get sick in electric cars too, apparently. Do you know when I was really quiet on the way home from Vegas cuz I wanted to die?

[Dick Toledo]

Oh my.

[Larry McFeely]

Now, see, you keep saying stuff like on the way home that you're like living together.

[Dick Toledo]

No, no, no, no, no. Seriously, there's. Zero. Zero. Okay. If you guys want to go on a date we'll pay for it.

[Samantha Hale]

I mean, hey, free dinner is free dinner. No, actually, the food at the Improv is quite amazing, actually.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, we had food last night. I say we. I'm gonna stop with the way you guys have careers.

[Larry McFeely]

This is.

[Dick Toledo]

I just happened to say, would you like to go on a road? Yeah, road job, I was gonna say.

[Larry McFeely]

You feel like a road.

[Dick Toledo]

Everything's sounding weird now and awkward. We can never work together again.

[Larry McFeely]

Strange. Will they, won't they thing going on and you're calling.

[Dick Toledo]

I called and I said, would you like to work in Tempe? Opening?

[Larry McFeely]

Even that sounds open for me. Open for me.

[Samantha Hale]

Performing comedy material that is not sexual.

[Larry McFeely]

Open for me.

[Dick Toledo]

Everything's now sounding that way. This is horrible. All right, listen, I'm gonna try to bring it back in here. All right? So, by the way, speaking of, Is.

[Samantha Hale]

That what the kidnapper said?

[Dick Toledo]

Okay, now you're joining them. Yeah, they need a female presence around.

[Larry McFeely]

Wait a minute.

[Dick Toledo]

Why not?

[Larry McFeely]

Is kidnapper part of triggering? I thought you volunteered to be with this man.

[Dick Toledo]

No, no, no, no. Listen, by the way, I want to talk about the Porsche. Let's get back to that.

[Larry McFeely]

He had a Porsche. I'd.

[Dick Toledo]

I got a Porsche. And here's the thing. Since I got divorced, since the wife joined the cult.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. Which is still.

[Dick Toledo]

Yes, exactly. I. I started watching pornhub. All right.

[Larry McFeely]

Since she joined a cult.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah. Because, you know, I'm not getting anything, obviously.

[Larry McFeely]

Right.

[Dick Toledo]

There's no opening up for me in any other way.

[Larry McFeely]

So wait a minute. So I divorced for a while.

[Dick Toledo]

I know. But I got the Porsche. You know, this is a true story. So I get the thing, and the guy. The guy goes. I don't know how to wipe my browser. So the guy gets in my passenger seat and goes, well, you know, you have an app. I go, oh, Porsche. He goes, give me your phone. P O, R. Gone. Oh, you know, it pops up everything. Every kink I have, there's a throuple on there. He said, what's this? That's not the app. Yeah, I'm trying to grab the phone.

What is career after? I mean, that's what she's talking.

[Samantha Hale]

That's what she. Well, I think she was just so hung up on it, whereas everyone, no.

[Dick Toledo]

One else would give her other roles.

[Larry McFeely]

It was the 70s. Pose nude and do the right thing and everything will be fine. Everybody would have forgotten. If Tina Louise would taken her clothes off a couple of times, she could have had a whole new world.

[Samantha Hale]

She had so many to wear though.

[Larry McFeely]

She had a lot of outfits. Yeah, but I'm not saying like on Gilligan's island, but I mean, imagine the playboy if Tina Louise got naked.

[Dick Toledo]

It never made sense, even as a kid. I'm like, she's. It's a three hour tour. You're dressing like you're ready for the Met Gala wardrobe.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. Right there in the title song. I'm like, well, there's no reason for luggage. Why are we doing this?

[Dick Toledo]

Yes. When I invite Samantha on these boat rides, you need no luck.

[Larry McFeely]

You need two years worth of clothes.

[Dick Toledo]

Here's your chest.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. Is that why you don't want to go on the boat ride?

[Samantha Hale]

Exactly.

[Larry McFeely]

Why.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah. It doesn't fit my chest.

[Larry McFeely]

He's going to see what I did there.

[Dick Toledo]

There we go.

[Samantha Hale]

What? I'm sorry? Oh, what? What I did.

[Larry McFeely]

So how did you get into comedy? Like, did you start thinking I'm funny and. But I'm never gonna mention Alan Hale. I'll Let Craig do that and ruin my life.

[Samantha Hale]

Well, you know, I was doing the acting thing. I thought, this is what I have to do or I have to carry on the family name. So I was doing it and I just. It's so out of your control sometimes that one day I went to the show at the Laugh Factory and was like, wow, these women are kind of incredible. They have opinions. They have. They're not afraid of anything. I was just so enamored with it that I signed. I talked to Natasha Leggero and she was like, why don't you it take this. This show is now a class. Why don't you go do this? Sure. So I took a class just for fun, and here I am.

[Dick Toledo]

How about that?

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

Cool. Craig, how did you get into comedy? Are you still in the business?

[Dick Toledo]

My dad left when I was born.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, that's right.

[Dick Toledo]

Abandonment issues fell into it. I can't take it when a waiter leaves my table. Where are you going? I'm getting your food, sir. Oh, sure you are. He's not coming back. They're all the same. I was a delinquent at 13. I got arrested. 13. The cop says to me it's a true story. I would like then to put one of these guys on the poster. I'm going, at least he's. This is my way of being wanted.

[Larry McFeely]

You never took a class. You just relied on trauma.

[Dick Toledo]

All trauma.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. Is yours. Did you have any trauma that you're like.

[Samantha Hale]

Of course not. I'm perfectly well adjusted.

[Larry McFeely]

That's why you're hanging out with him. He's gonna give you good material and mess it all up. So how long have you two been touring?

[Dick Toledo]

Well, we do every shows together and stuff. Every now and every few months or something.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

Known each other about four years, I think.

[Larry McFeely]

Okay. So it just became this thing where you're like. You just enjoy the.

[Dick Toledo]

Listen, on the serious note, she does a great job opening the show. And I go up there. Yeah, exactly. You like? It's easy to travel. I mean, there's nothing. Nothing now after today, nothing out of bounds. You guys were perfect for me.

[Larry McFeely]

Are you going to share a room? I think that's a good idea. Save some money on the road.

[Samantha Hale]

I'll text Isaac right now.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

See if Isaac.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, that's fine. You can share. You can sleep on him. I don't care. He's fine.

[Dick Toledo]

By the way, I warned her about you. I shouldn't have warned her. I should have encouraged you. These are your people. I had no idea. She's Very dark, by the way.

[Samantha Hale]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, she runs a whole horror thing.

[Samantha Hale]

I do.

[Larry McFeely]

What does that mean?

[Samantha Hale]

I run a show called Horror Nerd. Like, there's no W in front of.

[Larry McFeely]

You're saying horror horror.

[Samantha Hale]

I've learned she's got a.

[Larry McFeely]

That's what the guy Portia found on Craig's phone. Horror Nerd.

[Samantha Hale]

Oh, that's. That's the only fan.

[Larry McFeely]

Horror Nerds.

[Samantha Hale]

Horror. Yeah. So it's an all scary movie themed show.

[Larry McFeely]

Okay.

[Samantha Hale]

So every show of the comics are only allowed to talk about scary movies. There's a theme for each one. It's actually happening tonight at the Hollywood Improv, and I'm not there right now.

[Larry McFeely]

Is it a podcast or is it.

[Samantha Hale]

It's a show. It's a live show.

[Larry McFeely]

No kidding.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

And how do you can. How do you do that?

[Samantha Hale]

So craziness. Just. I grew up loving scary movies. It's just my thing. It's. I know. I dress like Lilith Fair.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, Halloween, you are Lilith Fair.

[Samantha Hale]

I don't know why I dress like.

[Larry McFeely]

Did you shave your armpits? Because it's not official. Lila Fair.

[Samantha Hale]

I did it for Tempe.

[Larry McFeely]

Okay, that's nice.

[Dick Toledo]

Our material is gonna be about scary working with me.

[Larry McFeely]

What's your favorite scary movie?

[Samantha Hale]

Halloween. By far.

[Dick Toledo]

Halloween.

[Samantha Hale]

Oh, yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

It's pretty amazing. Yeah.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah. Actually, next month we're doing the show and we're doing the Scream Queens edition. So there's a theme.

[Dick Toledo]

Nice. Okay.

[Samantha Hale]

And we're gonna have my buddy Mickey Yablanz, who was in the film, his dad produced the film. It's his birthday party show, which is exciting. Yeah. Do you remember the little boy at the beginning of the movie that's like, the boogeyman's gonna get you.

[Larry McFeely]

It was Craig, wasn't it?

[Dick Toledo]

It was Craig.

[Larry McFeely]

It's just live footage of that hotel.

[Samantha Hale]

Yep, yep.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, I don't remember that anyway.

[Samantha Hale]

But yeah, so that means he's gonna be there. Yeah, he's gonna come.

[Larry McFeely]

How cool is that?

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[Samantha Hale]

So we do like, Midsummer Scream, which is a huge convention out of Long Beach. We did the show Halloween night.

[Larry McFeely]

We had Wes Craven on the show. One of my favorite memories of this show 15, 16 years ago. And I said, how do you. Because I still think Friday the or Freddy's the Nightmare 1 is one of the scariest, true, scariest stories ever. A guy, a terrible image in your dream can actually do damage. And so before it became campy and stupid, after like 3, 4, 5, they.

[Samantha Hale]

Kind of have to. They run out of ideas.

[Larry McFeely]

Exactly. But the first one is truly horrifying.

[Samantha Hale]

It's brilliant.

[Larry McFeely]

And it's not that gory story. No, it truly is.

[Dick Toledo]

I was in the theater and some people got up and left.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. So we asked. Yeah, Heather Langenkamp.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah, yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

Do you have a story about that? Didn't we talk about that once?

[Dick Toledo]

I don't know. Probably. He's got a mind. He's got. Oh yeah, you have heard of Beautiful Mind.

[Larry McFeely]

It's not beautiful.

[Dick Toledo]

It's the sick mind.

[Larry McFeely]

That's right.

[Dick Toledo]

Heather Langley, Beautiful mind of sick minds. That's how he is.

[Larry McFeely]

That's why she quit moving.

[Dick Toledo]

Did you see that? Did you see that recollection?

[Larry McFeely]

It hit me when you.

[Dick Toledo]

He went pale a little bit because.

[Larry McFeely]

He goes, heather Langenkamp. I'm like that one.

[Dick Toledo]

Wes Craven, by the way. I have a memory.

[Larry McFeely]

I'm not done with my story yet.

[Dick Toledo]

But I. Yeah, I was in Scream 2 and he. And he turned to me, I'll never forget. He goes, oh, you did a great job. You'll. And I lives. He goes, you'll probably be in the sequel. But I wasn't.

[Larry McFeely]

No.

[Dick Toledo]

And he died.

[Larry McFeely]

That's right. So then you were up. But he said the origin for Freddy Krueger came from him. He lived in like a housing project or some type of building, like a that in Cleveland, I think. And the second story had a berm at one point where that you could walk up to the second floor windows. And he lived on the second floor. So he went in, he saw a guy in a green and red striped sweater and a hat leaning against the building. And he's like, I didn't like the feeling of it. And he was like seven. And he went upstairs and went into the second story and started walking towards and the guy's in the window just standing there. And he was like a maintenance man. So he had something in his hand that looked like giant claws. And he had dreams about it that night. Some 7 year old when he was like a little boy. And the way he told the story was bone chilling. Yeah, that kind of stuff thrills me.

[Samantha Hale]

I love the battle stories.

[Larry McFeely]

The idea of why these guys invented these characters in the name. Well, that's when Craig's movie never made it. But Handlebar man was.

[Dick Toledo]

Scream 2 was a great movie.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, you were great in Scream 2.

[Samantha Hale]

But you didn't come up with that.

[Dick Toledo]

No, I did not.

[Larry McFeely]

Scream has the greatest opening of a movie maybe ever.

[Samantha Hale]

Right.

[Larry McFeely]

Beginning of Scream is the best 10 minutes in horror movies.

[Samantha Hale]

The beginnings are Pretty epic. It was like a shorter version of like, Psycho was where we first got attached to the lead character. We're like, oh, we're on this journey with her and then she gets killed halfway through. You're like, wait, what? So it was kind of similar, but it was condensed down to like, what, a ten minute opening scene. And the fun thing, Drew Barrymore was such a celebrity, right?

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah. When it's a star that goes well, they're saying it's not true. They're gonna wake up. It's a dream.

[Larry McFeely]

They filmed the beginning of Psycho here in Phoenix.

[Samantha Hale]

Did they really?

[Larry McFeely]

So the panoramic view of Phoenix is so weird. And that mountain that's right behind you is a different shape because they've gutted that thing to build a base in it.

[Samantha Hale]

Oh, wow.

[Larry McFeely]

So that mountain has a different shape in the first shot of Phoenix. It's really cool. It's like a neat. It's kind of a neat thing. You're gonna have to live here to realize. Oh, that has changed a lot. It's neat because the whole city's totally. That's fascinating. I'd like to see that show. When are you coming here by yourself?

[Dick Toledo]

You should bring the horror nerds here.

[Larry McFeely]

Absolutely. No.

[Samantha Hale]

You think I and already talked to them about exactly. I was doing while you were on stage.

[Dick Toledo]

It would have been nice if I made the introduction.

[Larry McFeely]

Have you been on horror?

[Dick Toledo]

I never get credit for anything. I swear to God.

[Larry McFeely]

As a secondary actor on screen too. Have you been on the show or secondary actor? You heard me. Were you?

[Dick Toledo]

No, I was. I was in another horror movie.

[Samantha Hale]

Which one?

[Dick Toledo]

It's called. Oh, my God. What was the name of it? I put Daryl Hannah played my. My mistress.

[Larry McFeely]

This is good already.

[Dick Toledo]

And it's Flash and we're talking to. It was his last film ever. Roy Scheider.

[Larry McFeely]

Get out of here.

[Dick Toledo]

This was his last film he ever did.

[Larry McFeely]

And you don't remember there.

[Dick Toledo]

Craven died after I met him.

[Larry McFeely]

Everybody kills himself.

[Dick Toledo]

That's the end of their career, end of their lives.

[Larry McFeely]

Wait a second. Daryl Hannah and you and Roy Scheider.

[Dick Toledo]

Are in a movie and Michael. No, Eric Roberts was in it.

[Larry McFeely]

Get out of here.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

And you don't remember the.

[Dick Toledo]

Back when he. They had a lot of like, not cameos, but they cast people like they were stars back in the 80s and this was in the 2000s.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, okay. So it was like. Oh, it was a kind of a huge.

[Dick Toledo]

Back then, one of my favorite. Pope of Greenwich.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, it's a great movie.

[Dick Toledo]

They took my thumbs Charlie. Jimmy, the thumbs.

[Larry McFeely]

Charlie.

[Dick Toledo]

It hurts so much. Charlie.

[Larry McFeely]

Is this it? Here's the sh. Is it Beautiful Blue eyes.

[Dick Toledo]

No, that's not it.

[Larry McFeely]

Dark Honeymoon.

[Dick Toledo]

Dark Honeymoon. That's it. That's it. That's the name of the movie that I was in. But anyway, there's a scene, she plays my mistress, and we're sitting there talking to. And it says canoodling. What do you think the word canoodling means? It says in the direction I'm going, I'm going to canoodle with. Right with splash over here.

[Larry McFeely]

So you showed up with, like, lube on your fingers. That's too far.

[Dick Toledo]

You would go there with Madison from Splash.

[Larry McFeely]

What do you.

[Dick Toledo]

That's what I'm thinking. I'm going to be with Madison and she would not canoodle. So I said, oh, she's just waiting until they say action.

[Larry McFeely]

Right?

[Dick Toledo]

And then Love Masters got you.

[Larry McFeely]

Love master. Started to canoodle with Naked and afraid.

[Dick Toledo]

I get naked. You'll be afraid, baby. Oh, yeah. I put my pants on. Looks like a giraffe getting in a Mini Cooper.

[Samantha Hale]

And then she put her tail back on.

[Larry McFeely]

Let me just cover up all of this.

[Dick Toledo]

Thanks, Samantha. This will guarantee away my fantasy. Put the tail back on.

[Larry McFeely]

She put on a pair of.

[Samantha Hale]

Book me again. It's nice to meet you guys.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah. Oh, you'll be hanging out. Believe me, you'll be here.

[Larry McFeely]

She'll be here all the time. Yeah, this is. I got a boat. You want to go out this weekend? It'll be okay.

[Dick Toledo]

This. Oh, now she's not seasick anymore.

[Larry McFeely]

I got Dramamine. You'll be fine.

[Dick Toledo]

I've hung with these guys in real life.

[Larry McFeely]

It's true.

[Dick Toledo]

It's not that hot.

[Larry McFeely]

It is fun. It isn't hot. No. Nobody ever said that was gonna happen.

[Dick Toledo]

The shoes that he wears.

[Larry McFeely]

Hey, wore once. I wore sandals once to golf because. 110 degrees.

[Dick Toledo]

Because I thought they're golf sandals. I thought I was golfing with Zeus.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, the way I hit the drives, you would have thought that. Definitely some lightning coming off of that.

[Dick Toledo]

So let it be written, so let it be done. I have the stiff shaft, baby.

[Larry McFeely]

Craig Shoemaker's here with the wonderful Samantha Hale. She's gonna be there first, so you can go home early.

[Samantha Hale]

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah. What do you guys want to do with it?

[Larry McFeely]

What do you want to do with Craig? Craig's always great. 10pm proud this week and usually here on Valentine's Day. Not this. Yeah. And then this year you're doing him. He's coming in May. Huh?

[Dick Toledo]

So to speak. That's because I'm heartless.

[Larry McFeely]

That's right.

[Dick Toledo]

There's no more heartless.

[Larry McFeely]

Are you still getting divorced?

[Dick Toledo]

I'm divorced.

[Larry McFeely]

[Larry McFeely]

By the way, as a granddaughter. Quiet. Craig, as a granddaughter of Alan Hale, do you have any of the Gilligan's island clothes or anything?

[Samantha Hale]

I. The only article of clothing I have is his jacket that must have been given to him on the last season that says I got off Gilligan's Island. And it's a huge. It's obviously his jacket, but it wasn't the.

[Larry McFeely]

You never got the blue shirt or any of the skippers.

[Samantha Hale]

The hat is. Sherwood Schwartz had that bronze and it was put on his desk. The shirt, I don't know. I know that the short Marianne still had her own shorts. So Don Wells and I became quite close. She was kind of like my adult grandma. Yeah. She came to the very first show I ever did and she sat right in the front row and she's like, samantha, don't tell anyone I'm here. I'm like, they see you. Marianne, why are you still wearing suit?

[Larry McFeely]

Marianne ever go to one of your shows, Craig?

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, he's got. He's got a story.

[Larry McFeely]

You didn't nail Marianne, did you? Dawn Wells, I remember her.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

Heather Langenkamp. And you were. That was an item, wasn't it? Like you had a thing with her. The girl from Freddy.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, okay. Where are you going with this? No, I just having a conversation. Let's make Craig feel good for one second. 35 years back to Samantha.

[Larry McFeely]

It's a good kill. You should tell people.

[Dick Toledo]

I'm not talking about a kill that I didn't have. Okay.

[Larry McFeely]

I know. Oh, you didn't have it. You struck out with Heather Langenkin.

[Dick Toledo]

I did not strike. I don't know where you're going with this. I just said was she in the movie. That's all I said.

[Larry McFeely]

I perked up because I thought you told me at one point maybe you had made sweet love.

[Dick Toledo]

That was as someone else during the throuple. Will you wear Skipper's outfit, please?

[Samantha Hale]

Obviously, yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

Where I'm going family for these guys. These guys, they're teeing the whole thing up.

[Larry McFeely]

Cuz the one thing she wants to think about during sex is grandpa.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, that's all the grandpas to think about.

[Larry McFeely]

That is definitely America's grandpa.

[Dick Toledo]

He is definitely a seat blocker. No, no, no. No offense to grandpa.

[Larry McFeely]

No, no. Yeah, no. Alan Hale is the thing that keeps me from finishing. I'll occasionally think of your grandfather when it starts getting.

[Samantha Hale]

I cannot unear that.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, God. Up dop dip, little buddy. I'm gonna have to have.

[Samantha Hale]

Isaac's gonna have to hit me with a hat in order for me to get.

[Dick Toledo]

My God.

[Larry McFeely]

I never thought I'd meet you, but I'm so glad I got to tell the family.

[Dick Toledo]

Brady has a thirst and howl impression. Well, he's been waiting for this. Yeah, well, ever since he heard she was coming, he's been working. Coming.

[Larry McFeely]

Stop it. Stop being filthy.

[Dick Toledo]

Working on all over.

[Larry McFeely]

You're not gonna make him do it twice.

[Dick Toledo]

You can't commit to that. All right.

[Larry McFeely]

Craig's at Tempe Improv tonight and tomorrow. Tempe improv.com you get tickets. Craig shoemaker.com you can go get all of his stuff. And of course, Samantha Hale is.

[Dick Toledo]

I have a new book, by the way.

[Larry McFeely]

What is that?

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, it's called Craig, you know. You ever do affirmations? You ever do affirmations? I have laformations. Oh yes.

[Larry McFeely]

It makes you feel good and laugh.

[Dick Toledo]

A 40 day cleanse. It's all about the healing powers of laughter and stuff like that. So you read this for 40 days, you'll feel great. Because we need to laugh more in this country.

[Larry McFeely]

Completely agree.

[Dick Toledo]

I'll give you. Now, I have cartoons in there of some of my jokes. Like one of them, you get to the cartoon, it says, hey Craig, I caught my son watching S M porn. What should I do? Well, definitely don't spank them. I got 39 more jokes in there you can have. It's a 40 page book with pictures, with folks. Yes, exactly. I have cartoons for every. Fantastic. I brought you a book, but.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, but you did.

[Dick Toledo]

I just Wasn't thinking.

[Larry McFeely]

That's all right. That's all right. Leave us with words of wisdom. Craig, fix the world.

[Dick Toledo]

Just make laughter your grind. That's it, you know?

[Larry McFeely]

I mean, that's a nice thing. That's actually really true too.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah. Everybody talks about the grind, man, but what if you put laughter at the top of it? Go to comedy clubs. If you don't see me, go see another comedian.

[Larry McFeely]

You can see one tonight in front of Craig. Prioritize, Prioritize laughter.

[Dick Toledo]

After all I do, I set it up. He knocks it down like pins. I'm the pin setter. That's all.

[Larry McFeely]

We're a team.

[Samantha Hale]

It's such a good team.

[Larry McFeely]

I agree.

[Samantha Hale]

Do you know what the best, like, weird Gilligan's island thing I've ever been given? I had a friend who worked in the porn industry give me a copy of. Of a film called Drilligan's Island.

[Larry McFeely]

Did you watch it and was it accurate, do you think?

[Samantha Hale]

I hope not.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Samantha Hale]

I don't know. I hope not. I hope not. It was. It was. There's a scene with Gilligan and the Skipper, and I'm like, I can't. I can't do it.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, wow.

[Larry McFeely]

It made them gay.

[Samantha Hale]

Yep. Sure.

[Dick Toledo]

If I was directing time on the poop deck.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. All right. Don't drink that. Don't laugh at that. Don't they laugh at that?

[Samantha Hale]

That was. That was like, his fart.

[Dick Toledo]

It ruined.

[Larry McFeely]

It was because if I was directing, they're still from it. Drilligan's Island.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, no. I'd have made. Oh, my God.

[Larry McFeely]

I told you to think. I'd have made Skipper a bottom.

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

Did they?

[Samantha Hale]

Yeah. Oh, that was another.

[Dick Toledo]

Girls at Drilling Island.

[Larry McFeely]
