[Ernie Furgler]

We're just waiting for the cast and.

[Lewis Black]

Actually show up for work.

[Ernie Furgler]

Here's more Bob and Tom.

[Lewis Black]

Extra.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tom, we have a very special guest and we're treating him right by ignoring him.

[Kevin Harlan]

That's right.

[Christy Lee]

We'll talk about them now.

[Bob Kevoian]

We just spent 20 minutes talking about Arnold Stain doing voiceovers, I guess I should say, Mr. Mr. Lewis Black, who has a wonderful speaking voice, famous for Inside out, the Pixar movie. You did a great job with that. Do you do any voiceover commercials anymore?

[Lewis Black]

No, because they don't realize the power that I have. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Would you. If you could match yourself up with a particular product, anything come to mind? That would be.

[Lewis Black]

Wow. Booze.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do you drink much?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

What. What brand? What flavor?

[Lewis Black]

I mean, I drink a lot of wine now, but then there's tequila, and if Mezcal shows up with tequila, those are the ones I lean toward. I've been through them all. Everything.

[Bob Kevoian]

What anyone in the room want to think Any particular product his voice would match up with.

[Christy Lee]

Well, earlier he was talking. I don't know if you guys noticed, but we were talking about the chunky bar and Louis, you went, boy, I haven't thought about one of those. The peanuts and the raisins and the chocolate. Yeah, I mean, it was. It was as though we were hearing a chunky commercial.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. And we all tried Chunkies and they're amazing. I'd forgotten how great they were. And I'm not that much of a candy person.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah. It's funny with the boy suburb thing, I mean, for some reason, I mean, inside out, it happened. And I do. Like, I did a voice for Scooby Doo and I did. I just did spongebob. Here's the breakthrough as a Jew. I am the voice of Santa on spongebob for the last five years.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, as you know, some of the greatest songs in the history of Christmas music written by men and women of the Jewish faith.

[Lewis Black]

That's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

The most famous desperate.

[Lewis Black]

In a desperate attempt to h.

[Bob Kevoian]

Passing. Oh, that's great, though. But you have such a great. I would. I would think that you. Someone would gobble you up for one of those.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, I was. Think I've done some. I just. It never. It's just never happened. I don't understand it. But, you know, I've got the agent. They'll. They'll, you know, but it just doesn't occur.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I think you're you'd be an absolute natural.

[Lewis Black]

What.

[Bob Kevoian]

And you started. I know you went to the Yale Drama School and you were a playwright. What was the first time you got up and tried to do stand up? Do you remember?

[Lewis Black]

Oh yeah, it was 21, 22. I was a. There's a room in. I was going to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I was going into an extra year there as a. They'd given me a writing fellowship to stay on. And I went that summer and performed at a place called, oddly enough, Cat's Cradle and just opened. Friends of mine had a. Had a band and said, why don't you come in and do stand up? Because it was one of those people. It's that whole story of the every schmuck touch. Well, boy, you know, I could do that. I go to a party, people say I'm really funny. And then you have to get on stage. So my friend said just. Why don't you just try it? And I went ahead and tried it and I. It's. It's on. I. I taped it and might as well had somebody write it down, considering how the first minute. This is my first minute of stand up.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's good.

[Lewis Black]

So was the first word. It was unbelievably. It just. It was. I was a wreck and I. And then. And then this is when you kind of know you're going to do it is. You'll attest to you. I went back to the second week. I went back again after being just horrible. My dog got bigger laughs than I did that night. And that was. He had kind of saved me. Came up on stages. A dog might. When the dog senses that you need to be rescued. And so. So he came on stage and the audience went haha. And I said thank you.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then you became a playwright. Did that sort of. Was that working? And then you decided I'd do stand up on the side and it took off or what happened?

[Lewis Black]

No, it was. I was doing. I just was doing it as a way to get my writing out there. Because you send a play in to a theater and then you can wait a year and a half for them to actually get back to you. You would prefer anyone out there who wants to be a playwright put the play in a bottle and take the bottle down to whatever body of water's nearby and throw it in. And I guarantee when someone finds it, that play will be read faster than if it's sent to an American. So I would wander in. I was kind of fascinated by stand up. You know, I Just was. I'd watched a ton of it on the Ed Sullivan Show. I mean, once a week there was somebody and they were all different. They were all kind of fun in their own way. And I KE do they do this? So I was kind of fascinated with the process. I didn't think I'd end up doing it at all.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you, did you have a record you played over and over again as a kid?

[Lewis Black]

I mean, I played Carlin and I played. I played. This is Nichols in May, of all people.

[Bob Kevoian]

I. I played, I played. Why is there Air? Bill Cosby.

[Lewis Black]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

And Robert Klein. Child of the 50s was my favorite. We were just talking about Nichols and May the other day. Yeah. Out in the hallway. That's if you. That's a great book. Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

The Mike Nichols and then. And then there's a played, you know, New Heart. Shelly Berman. Oh, yeah. Those two, oddly enough, had a, A big effect because they told stories, you know, they were storytellers.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let me ask you, when you were a kid, you would have been probably, I don't know, maybe sixth, seventh grade. Did you get the album the First Family with. Oh, yeah. On meter.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was the first million selling album.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah. And the first time I knew that somebody's career was over.

[Bob Kevoian]

He did a great.

[Lewis Black]

Second thought I had.

[Bob Kevoian]

He did a great, great John Kennedy.

[Lewis Black]

Wow. It was. And it was brilliant.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Lewis Black]

Again, it was brilliantly done. And then boom.

[Bob Kevoian]

But for a long time, that was the largest selling comedy album in history.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

We're speaking with Lewis Black, who is a terrific comedian and actor. What's. Anything coming up of interest? You got any new projects you want to talk about?

[Lewis Black]

Nah, nothing.

[Bob Kevoian]

This agent of yours got to get you some gigs.

[Lewis Black]

No, I got, I do. I do a thing called a Rantcast. And what I do is I've been doing it for quite a while and I will be. I read rants that other people write and I'm like, I come on at the beginning and talk about whatever is bothering me and go for a little bit, 15 minutes, and then I read whatever they're, whatever they're upset about. And it can be everything. Some. I mean, the extraordinary thing is how angry Americans are about peanut butter. I've got about eight of those. Somebody gets a jar, he thinks it's going to be smooth and it's chunky. He wrote literally a seven minute soliloquy.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't say I blame him. I hate the chunky.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Can't he read a label?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, but no, it was smooth. It was every now and then I said it was smooth and it was chunky. So he completely melted down and went to his. Started writing this thing. To me there's, there are people that 22 different ideas about pickles. I mean it's amazing what, you know, but. And then the, the CBS and the Walgreens, when they hand you, you know, you bought two things and they hand you a 12 foot scroll.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Lewis Black]

You know, it's like they came down, you know that God came down and said, look at all the free stuff you can get. And, and it's, you know, somebody wrote about that. You know, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's kind of amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now a rant. Do you, for example, right now you're on broadcast radio. Do you have to be careful not to slip? Do you have like a limit of curse words that you think. To me I found it like with satellite radio. Some of these guys, oh, they can curse and so they curse constantly and it loses all of its power.

[Lewis Black]

No, I mean I just use it. I use those words and the big word, the one that is just going to destroy us all because every time I've said it, a child will run to the screen on the TV and actually try to kill themselves. But you know that, that I use that word at times. I realized early on that I was using it to think of what it was I was going to say next. It was kind of my pause.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Lewis Black]

And then. But also it fed into the, the thing that I'm funny because I'm angry. So what's the word you're going to use?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, good point.

[Bob Kevoian]

Lewis Black is our guest, distinguished stand up comedian and a podcaster and author and have you written a play lately?

[Lewis Black]

I wrote one. I'm actually working, I'm starting to work on one Part of the reason I'm kind of doing a lot less shows than I'd done. I'd kind of quit the touring. I was doing 150 shows a year. And part of the reason. So I can, I wanna, I'm trying to write, which I don't know if it'll ever come to be is a. My version of Our Town. Yeah. So I'm trying to do that. And I had one, I had a play that could not. I kept doing it and it was. They thought it was going to be on Broadway. They thought it was going to be here. And then once I hit it as a comic, they said, oh, you've got that play. And I rewrote it and rewrote it and that was eventually published. And a number of the other plays were published, but I had to become a comic to get the plays published, which should give you an idea of just how wonderful the American theater is.

[Bob Kevoian]

Were people on roller skates or wearing cat costumes?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, I wish.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, I think we're gonna switch gears here, I believe. Oh, there we go. Oh, wow. How can you be getting younger? What is the secret? We have Leanne Morgan joining us on the big screen, more gorgeous than ever.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, you doll. Honey. Thank you. I needed to hear that.

[Bob Kevoian]

And now your voice just adds to it. Your hair looks great. I hope. Is there someone in the background that did your hair for you, or is this the.

[Leanne Morgan]

Honey, this is. I had grandbabies spend the night. Everybody was crying this morning. That's what this hairdo is.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

I fixed some sausage.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, good, good. We had a quiz.

[Lewis Black]

I'd like you to. I love sausage. Don't you like sausage?

[Bob Kevoian]

What is your limit on if a guest comes to your home? This was a statistical survey that we read. How. What is the maximum number of days before you want them to leave?

[Leanne Morgan]

I'd say two or three. Y', all. My nerves are shot. I think. I didn't always feel that way, but I think as I get older, I mean, like three days.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

The national stat was what, Christy? Was it six days? Yeah. That's way too long.

[Christy Lee]

And then longer for, you know, kids.

[Josh Arnold]

Ten days or parents. Eight days now for.

[Bob Kevoian]

For grandbabies. What is it?

[Leanne Morgan]

Never. They can stay with me for the rest of their life.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's what I thought your answer was going to be. Well, very good. Leanne Morgan is a distinguished actress, comedian, Netflix renewed. Right. Am I right about this?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, good.

[Christy Lee]

You better be.

[Bob Kevoian]

If not. If not. Tom said it was okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Blue is black. Hello, my darling. I'm a huge fan. Never gotten to me.

[Lewis Black]

No, we haven't. And it's wrong.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know. Little Kathleen Madden.

[Lewis Black]

I know you do.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know everybody that knows you. So I'm so tickled to see you, my darling.

[Lewis Black]

Great to see you.

[Christy Lee]

We've already been pitching a movie where you two are married and kind of on the outs but wanting to stay together.

[Bob Kevoian]

And War of the Roses, they just came out with that one. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Sort of the out of towners type situation. Yeah, yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

But we get to make out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it's a hard R.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. That's naughty. He's a very handsome man. Now, we were actually pitching Mr. Lewis Black among as many credentials. He is the voice in a great Pixar movie, but two. Oh, there was a sequel. Has anybody ever pitched you for a commercial for tv to be the voiceover gal? Because you have a beautiful voice.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, you angel. They pitched me for it. I've never gotten it.

[Bob Kevoian]

What is going on? You will.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now what?

[Kevin Harlan]

Let's.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's just pretend we are working with the great Leanne Morgan. We want to pitch her. What product Christy Lee should she be pitching?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy. Probably. Maybe, like she said, sausage. Like biscuits or sausage or something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, home.

[Josh Arnold]

Like a home cooking thing. Like that would be fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

But let me tell y', all, I have gotten offers to do the shingles vaccine.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that's.

[Lewis Black]

By the way.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's a really important thing to get, by the way.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, I've gotten it and had to take to the band for four days. That is a nightmare.

[Bob Kevoian]

A public service. My dad had polio, and it was in an iron lung during World War II.

[Lewis Black]

He.

[Bob Kevoian]

When he had shingles, he said it was worse. So you don't want to get. You don't want to get shingles, Honey.

[Leanne Morgan]

I've had shingles three times, boys. I hate to say that. All these good looking men, I've had them once. I've had them three times. But this last time, my shingles vaccine, I think, tampered it down a little bit.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, good.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, well, I had it. I had both shots because this is the one I had the first time. And they came out with one shot. I got that. And then within two, two to three years, I got shingles after getting the shot. Then they came up with the two shots. Be sure you get the second one. And then I got it again. It's unbelievable.

[Bob Kevoian]

Our next guest. Our next guest, RFK Junior.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know. They tell me, isn't it crazy? I thought I'd never get it again. They go, oh, no, that vaccine doesn't keep you from getting it.

[Bob Kevoian]

It just makes it go okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. It just goes last. Chuck Morgan, my husband, still trying to make out with me and touch me, of course, with the shingles.

[Josh Arnold]

He's a man.

[Leanne Morgan]

He will not leave me alone.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm trying to. Like a lot of commercials now for plaintiffs lawyers. Either of these guys could do. They could be good for that. Yeah. Have you been in an accident? Lewis, you're hostile enough. You could either say any. All the. All the rest of the lawyers are no good, but you got to go to my guy.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, no, that I could do.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that'd be good.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

I should be a lawyer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Lewis Black]

And just without. And without any Law degree. Just go in there and tell.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, Kim Kardashian flunked the bar exam again.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, she did.

[Bob Kevoian]

She's not going to be one of your clients. Let's get back. Leanne. We should think of a better product for you. Josh, do you have an idea for her? I mean. Oh, I don't.

[Kevin Harlan]

Yeah, maybe anything.

[Bob Kevoian]

Household.

[Christy Lee]

Your brawny, your.

[Josh Arnold]

Because women trust her and believe in.

[Bob Kevoian]

Exactly.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

They love her. And.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, you would think I'd be rolling in it. Something for time Detergent.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

It's only a matter.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah. Well, you know, you got to look more like Peyton Manning. Got those ads. Nothing irritates me more.

[Bob Kevoian]

He is in. I saw. I was watching again yesterday. He's in every ad.

[Kevin Harlan]

Yep.

[Lewis Black]

You know, and you. I mean, really, literally, you. You'll. They'll come your way, but it's. You know. And then you'll go, really? That's what you want me to do? And then you'll say. And then they'll show you a check. You go, yeah, sure.

[Leanne Morgan]

I do want to be in a Pixar movie. And I think that I could play like an old hen in the barn, you know, or a little. A wise cow. A wise cow with this accent, you know?

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure. I think you're nailing it. That would be great. We asked the same question of Mr. Lewis Black. Do you recall your first experience on stage? A and B? The first time a joke worked, and it may have not been the first time.

[Leanne Morgan]

It may have been, yeah, y', all, I have an untraditional path. I was in Morristown, Tennessee, having had three babies, and my. Somebody in my Sunday school class asked me to emcee the Kiwanis capers. And I did, and I'm dazzled. And so a little man that owned a coffee shop and, like, made sandwiches and sold beer said, we've had bands. Will you get up and do comedy? And I was like, sure. And he said, can you do an hour? And I was like, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Leanne Morgan]

I got up and did an hour, and I still wake up with sweats in the middle of the night. Think. Because I know somebody filmed it, y'. All. And it had to have sucked, But I did get a few laughs. But it was probably shocking stuff. I mean, I don't even know. I probably talked about birthing. I don't. I mean, I was grasping and pulling stuff out of my butt. But that was the first time I did 45 minutes to an hour. The first time I ever got on stage, which is stupid.

[Lewis Black]

Did you do did you do that after you did that? Did you go back and then do it again long sets or did you then.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, then I went. Then I. We moved to San Antonio, Texas. And then I did open mic one time and then I got moved up to, you know, opener. And then I, you know, and I was going back and forth to Austin Cap City Comedy Club. And then, and it was normal. I was normal comic, you know, but. Yeah, but I had a bunch of little babies, Lewis. And I was getting up on stage anywhere anybody would let me in Morristown, Tennessee, which was like the Rotary Club, you know. How was that?

[Bob Kevoian]

It was the launch. It was the launch pad. We're speaking with Leanne Morgan, also hanging out with Lewis Black, two great comedians. Leanne, once again tell us the short version of the new special. What's going on?

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, my darling. Well, you know, everybody says I look prettier. Cause I got made a little money lately. So I want everybody to know I'm prettier in this one. My breasts are not as mamoish. Can I say mammoish?

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, Leanne, you do look lovely. And your watch is larger than your. Your arm. That is one joke.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, my Lord, y'. All. Yeah, I don't know if I like this, but I do love my Apple watch. And I in this new hour about how I like to ding that thing so you can find your iPhone.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I did that today.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's the best thing that ever happened to me.

[Lewis Black]

Oh, yes, I agree.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm totally with you.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't wait to see the special. And Leanne, you are just so sweet and nice and you do look wonderful. We haven't seen the studio for a while. I think she's become too big for us.

[Josh Arnold]

I think so too.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, that's not true, my darling. I just wrapped a big tour, so I'm going to be. I've got to shoot my new season of Leanne. I'll be in la out in that and then I'll go back on tour and I can come by and see y'.

[Bob Kevoian]
