0:00.0 | From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment. |
0:13.0 | It's The Treatment. |
0:15.4 | It's The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. |
0:16.8 | I'm thrilled to be talking to my guest, special should be called the puffy of comedy, |
0:22.5 | but instead he chose to go with the King's Jester. |
