Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried, and this is Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast with my co-host, Frank Santopadre.

Our guest this week is an old friend back for a return visit, the guy so busy and spend so much time on the road that it took a worldwide pandemic to rebook him, but here he is.

He's a writer, playwright, best selling off the social critic, occasional actor and voice over actor, and one of the most popular and admired stand-up comedians of the last half century.

As an actor, you've seen among TV shows like The Law and Order, Homicide, Life on the Screech, The Big Bang Theory, and the TV movie made off and in films like Hannah and her sisters, unaccompanied minors, men of the year, and of course the voice of anger.

In Pixar's animated hit Inside Out, how did he ever wind up with that role?

He's written three best selling books, really scrammy-winning comedy albums, and written and starred in numerous stand-up specials, including Black on Broadway, the Emmy-nominated Red White and Scrood.

Stark-raving Black in God We R Us, O'Yella, live at the Borgada and Black to the Future.

Since 1996, he's appeared in regular segments on the daily shows, back in Black segments, ranting about everything from parenting to summer camps to electric scooters.

His newest special, thanks for risking your life, can be seen on October 6th, and is available through iTunes, Amazon Prime, Google Play, and wherever comedy is sold.

He's also hosting his own podcast, Lewis Black's Brand Cast, and available on Apple Podcasts. Now, please welcome back to the show, one of the funniest humans alive and the only stand-up comedian louder than you're truly.

And a man who says each of us is full of shit in our own special way, we are all shitty little snowflakes, the hilarious Lewis Black.

Lewis, was some of that accurate? All of it. Oh, good. Yeah, no, we can, I think that's the whole show. If you could do that, and then just get some clips of me from each thing.

Yeah, I know, just little clips of stuff, and in between, you know, like, you know, the inside out thing, you know, just a little thing here and there, and we're done. That was tremendous narration.

Did I pronounce any of your credits correctly? You did. I thought you would actually, I thought you were going to pass out.

The fact that you were trying to do it in one breath was really impressive. You were doing what I do, which is kind of you start to go, you want, holy fuck, I'm going to keep going. I'm just going to keep going.

I'm going to keep talking. I'm going to keep talking until I'm not going to stop talking until I get to the end. Where's a comma? I come, there's no fucking comma. How come there's no comment?

Oh, God. Yeah, it was one of those things where you stop going and go, oh, I have to breathe that some point.

I got to thank Lewis for being part Gilbert. If you remember of our sixth anniversary show, Lewis was kind enough to make a video.

Yes, yes, for us. So that was very sweet of you. We appreciate that. I'm sorry to make it. That's okay. You're always busy. And you haven't been here in five years. Can you believe that?

No, I can't. It's 2015. We did a live show at Caroline. I can't believe this podcast has been on that long. It's been on for six over six.

That's, yeah, it is amazing that you turn around now and you go, really it was 10 months. It was 150. You know, you kind of go, holy time is completely suspended.

And then not just because of this fucking pandemic, it's, it is like six years passes now like that. I know.
