    He was at every important moment in comedy history and has an amazing memory of it. He’s also a little special, but more the smart kind. Super funny too, can’t wait to catch him on tour!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pauly Shore on Bobby Lee, Comedy Feuds & The Sauna King | Fitzdog Radio
Q: What's the Sauna King?
Shore says he has gone to saunas since his father took him as a child. He enjoys bathhouses where people do not recognize him, and says regulars eventually started greeting him as the Sauna King.
Pauly Shore on Bobby Lee, Comedy Feuds & The Sauna King | Fitzdog Radio
Q: What happened with you and Bobby Lee? Didn't you put him on blast?
Shore says he brought Lee to the La Jolla Comedy Store and had him open for years, but later called him out after Lee avoided fans during a show. Shore says he thought Lee had changed after becoming famous.
Andy Richter on Conan, Elf & Surviving Hollywood | Fitzdog Radio
Q: How did the filmmakers make Buddy appear larger than the elves?
They used forced perspective and careful framing, placing actors and objects at different distances from the camera. Some shots used practical setups, including a camera mounted on a tricycle and Bob Newhart positioned behind the children.
Andy Richter on Conan, Elf & Surviving Hollywood | Fitzdog Radio
Q: What was the theme of Elf Unwrapped, and what made the movie special?
Richter says the book's central idea emerged from the creative tension between Jon Favreau's desire to make a lasting, sentimental Christmas classic and Will Ferrell's comic approach. Their opposing strengths gave the film both heart and comedy, helping it appeal across generations.
Ari Matti: Hungover & Raised by Savages | Fitzdog Radio
Q: What's the closest you ever came to a fist fight on stage?
Matti recalls insulting a heckler and having her boyfriend step toward the stage. He felt the crowd had turned against him, apologized, and later concluded that comics need to let the audience recognize the heckler's behavior before escalating.
