Hey, Naked Lunch listeners. Today, Phil and I are thrilled to be sitting with the great

writer and director, Larry Charles, author of this great book, Comedy Samurai,

Four Years of Blood, Guts, and Laughter. We talk about directing Borad, about writing for

Seinfeld, we talk about working with on curbier

enthusiasm, working with

Bob Dylan, working with Larry David, and

so much more. And in addition to

sitting with Larry Charles, we also

stand with Stephen Colbert.

Okay, here's Larry Charles.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thank you. Here's Larry Charles. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Let's spill the beans, chew the fat, food for thought and jokes on tap.

Talking with our mouths full having fun.
