This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Is this podcast going to be on Netflix?

Yes.

So do we have to go, dum-d-d-dom?

Now you did.

Now you met it now.

That was the one, and you just did it, so now we're good. Thank you met it now. That was the one and you just did it.

So now we're good.

Thank you.

Hey everybody.

It's Bobby here on this episode.

Howie Freaking Mandel.

I love this dude.

From stand-up comedy, I mean, he hosted Deal or No Deal.

He is the longest serving judge on America's Got Talent. I think in the history of that show, he's done everything. And so we'll talk about AGT. We'll talk about stand up. We'll talk about his podcast. He's also going to take us, I don't want to spoil it, what he does here in the middle. But anytime I've talked to Howie Mandel, it has been, well, I really don't know what's going to happen. And that's exactly what happens in this interview. He also talks, though, about how he started in comedy, and it all kind of started from a dare. So it's a guy that has always been super nice to me, always wildly funny, has a really good podcast. He works with his daughter, by the way, and I do tell him, like, I'll watch it in clips, but I watch a lot of stuff in clips. So we're going to go now. He's in L.A. I'm in Nashville. We're going to go talk to Howie Mandel. Here we go. Howie, welcome. Thanks for having me. Good.

Is we in like the hat dungeon or where are we?

This place, oh, I'm in the cloak room.

I didn't realize I'm in a restaurant cloak room and this is how I make extra money in between episodes of America's Got Talent.

It's a hat check, and I'm a hot check girl.

And for an extra two bucks, I'll take your hat while you're eating lunch.

I don't know what it is.
