Car Talk: Don't you have anything better to do than sit around and dream up names for cartoons? Geoff: What can I say? I was taking a break from my hobby of studying quantum physics. |
|
Car Talk: How'd you find out we needed a name for our new TV show? Geoff: I received an email announcing the contest. You guys are good at getting through my spam filter. How do you do it? Car Talk: That's proprietary info, Geoff. We'd have to kill you. |
|
Geoff: Yes. Which, actually, was the very same moment when I discovered that it's not a good idea to dope-slap yourself while driving. |
|
Car Talk: How are you preparing for your cameo on the Car Talk cartoon? Geoff: Looking for an agent - and watching "Three Stooges" reruns. By the way, can I deduct those DVD purchase from my taxes, now that this is work? |
|
Geoff: Actually, I was close to signing a big deal with Fox. But, now, I'm assuming the cameo will ruin my reputation. |
|
Car Talk: How long have you been suffering through our lousy show? Geoff: I guess for about the past 15 years - which feels like a lifetime, come to think of it. |
|
Car Talk: What about the good NPR shows? Which ones do you like? Geoff: I like "A Prairie Home Companion" (Garrison really IS humorous). And I'll admit to enjoying classical music. Tom and Ray, and Beethoven - can you get me some help? |
|
Geoff: That's not fair, guys! Sometimes, they really do "all do that." |
|
Car Talk: Whatever you say. Now, what do you have to say to the thousands of other Car Talk fans who are crestfallen, because they lost? Geoff: Oh, they shouldn't worry. They won't have to wait long. When the show is cancelled, they'll get another chance. |
|
Geoff: Thanks guys. Can I sell this stuff on eBay? No, seriously - thanks. This was fun! |
