Todd Levin

In studio notes by Julie Dixon Jackson
Editing and additional notes by Darryl Asher

0. Hello everybody indeed. Flappers announcement!! Woo Hoo. They have meatloaf…at a comedy club? Risky. Julie’s excited. There needs to be a tour section on the website. Don’t get their hopes up. People are negative on the site..routinely. Fuck off Children

5. Cock fucks. ( I like that one). Podfest is around the corner. Now hear this is October 28….blah blah blah.. Electric car cam? Go Eliot. Celebrity Sighting from Matt!!

10. It was Bruce Vilanch. Again. Singing is fun. Eliot has one too. It was Patrick Fischler.

15. Eliot wanted a picture with him. Brilliant app to secretly photograph celebrities. Matt is all about a periscope type- like with a mirror

20. Julie’s daughter is a “Vine-star”. The mail is here. Jimmy raised his box cutter to Matt. Jimmy throws shade at the Looney Tunes flight attendant. Wanted to make a joke about box cutters but thought better of it. Guy wrote a Seinfeld spec script about 9/11.

25.Jimmy is opening the mail.. It looks like a record. Jimmy cut his hand on his car again. Eliot has a coughing fit. It’s from the band “Mooner”. Jimmy tells story about classy guy. Buttons. Jimmy pokes himself. He needs to be careful.

30. Jimmy plays a bit of Mooner. There are 5 buttons. Todd Levin is in the restroom. Is he really Hilary ? He had a coughing fit in the bathroom. Hilary’s close to death. Putin loves to laugh. “Putin’ll laugh at you….” Thanks Elliot. Elliot has haircut sensitivity. Eliot’s girlfriend joined the players club.

35. Why didn’t Julie recognize Todd? She wasn’t expecting him. Whoops. Adam Sandler’s album – only held up for 24 hours.
Todd write some new songs for Adam Sandler. Oliver (not Platt) thinks the Chanukah song is hysterical. He got “Code Name” for his birthday. Elliot played it last night. Why is it so easy?

Preparing the studio for Todd Levin. (Sorry, I will just never let go of the “Todd drinks a lot of water” harassment. Check your NNF history for details. -Darryl)

40. Jimmy is trying to figure out the rules. “The assassin was on flute.” Best sentence ever. Let’s ice Elliot.
They’re gunna talk about it on the break. Jimmy is a winner. He saw Santana and Journey last week. Phenomenal.
Journey not so much. The mix was terrible. Megan Trainor was on sound board. Todd is on a working dark week- but didn’t know.

BREAK

45. Welcome back. Fun with numbers. Going around the horn.
Movies. Florence Foster Jenkins. Simon Helberg is in the poster- with no name. Florence is titular. Bazinga.
Hiccups. Too many broads in ghost busters. Distracting that it ruined their childhood.

50. White men are on their way out. Cock of the walk. Why is Julies name that? Todd wants her to try something out. Jeff Guitar? Paul Frisbee…Gary Lazer… What’s he doing? He jokes are precise. Jack Gibbons kid- Jimmy tells the story of the steak joint. “What are they fighting about…steaks?” Gary Lucy- smoking pompously

55. Baseball brawl. Most fights are hoping somebody pulls you off. Andy Borowitz. Bring out Borowitz Bashing.
He co- created “Fresh Prince of Belair” He’s not often that funny. How old is he- 55? Todd has done shows with him.
Jimmy tells a story about Todd Levin and Jimmy being upstaged by someone who shall remain nameless.

Bruce Vilanch

60. What books did Cosby write? How is Eliot? Went to Stratega-con. He saw “Cubo”. He liked it. Todd took his daughter to see “Finding Dory” at El Capitan. Zola wanted to leave after…..spoiler….never-mind.
Matt a little under the weather. Vilanch?
He wore a blank t-shirt. Writers block..Standing O from Jimmy.

1.05 Underwear talk. Jimmy blew it. Jimmy is wearing cartoon fish bone shorts. Todd’s shirt is loud. It’s open because it’s fitted. He quit sugar for a while. It was a slow. slippery. slope. Home made tamales. Todd can’t speak for Garon’s mother-in-law’s tamales. What did Julie’s mother- in -law send? Nada. Chili? I am a kill-joy. Jimmy is insecure about his chili story.

1.10 We’re still talking about chili. Jackie Kashian–“Isn’t that nice”. Todd thinks maybe our grandparents are insincere. Matt liked wooden spoons for his chili- but the chili makers didn’t. Julie hates beans because of the texture. Todd hates bananas for the same reason. The only thing “S’mores” has going for it is heat.
The Rob Lowe Roast was 55% sex tape. Coulter ate it. It was uncomfortable to watch her take it.

1.15 You should never feel sorry for Ann Coulter. Pete Davidson was unrelenting.Peyton Manning was funny.. Top notch jokes. Todd’s wife doesn’t like roasts. Roast Battle? How was it? Who won? Mike Lawrence. Matt didn’t watch it.
Todd Levin has not missed a Pardcast-a-thon. Lisa didn’t like that her husband wrote a comedy piece for Sara Palin.

1.20 Trump did a Late Night “Celebrity Secrets”. He wanted to do his own comedy. He is actually Andy Kaufman? “Behind the Curtain”….new song. Thanks Mike Henry.
Todd hates that he can’t sing. It’s an REM song. It’s Jimmy’s ear-worm. Mike did it to hurt Jimmy. Matt recycles his batteries in a tin can.

1.25 What do you sing if you can’t sing.. ? I say “a patter song”…. “Convoy”. “Take a walk on the wild side”? No one enjoys Johnnie Cash at Karaoke.Todd wants to put on a show. What would that REM song sound like sung by a good singer? The Cell.

1.30 Conan is in Berlin. The band. Not really.
Who goes? Mike Sweeney…and a couple of others. Todd would like to go. He’s been to Berlin.

Break.

1.32 In the break we decided that Todd Levin is,in fact, tone-deaf… He could do “Knights in white satin”….OR the Vincent Price part in “Thriller”. Matt does an awesome job. It’s spectacular. Todd has 2 children now, Zola (4) and Arlo(1)

1.35 .When are Todds parents taking the kids to Disney? Are they free next May? They have a time-share vacation club-but- they announced that they’re giving up their “points”.
They went on a Feeding frenzy and bought too many. They should go to the Hawaiian one. Nope. They had an unfortunate beach experience involving an inner-tube- so- no more beaches. He thinks maybe they exaggerated.

1.40 She won’t go in the ocean anymore- but Todd likes to cross-examine her. Dad goes along with whatever story Mom tells. He has to live with her. UPS delivers. It’s my job!! It’s packaging. Bwa Bwa… Matt thinks I’m doing a “cabaret” for the camera. (I was just “yes anding” Eliot)
Todd tells story about his ex-landlord that was a in a biker gang. He shot a lot of holiday video of women’s asses and breasts. Did he want a circle jerk? Landshark periscope “member”?

1.45 “Madonna Huh?” Nick Griffin. Great comic. Slim. Gorgeous head of salt and pepper hair. Jimmy’s dad announced his untucked shirt. He felt great about it. He’s still a great golfer. Jimmy retells to student golf course story. He also thinks he took Oliver to the baseball too early. Hi-Chew play area.

1.50. Big League Chew. Gateway drug to chewing tobacco. Todd loves the smell of Big League Chew in the morning. Baseball card gum smelled much better than it tasted.
You get a nice piece of gum! The wax pack is gone.
Star Wars. Kiss. Todd kept em in a photo album. R2D2 card took Todd 3 months to get. Nowadays you can get it on the internet in four seconds. Julie, look it up.
Matt remembers “Luke’s yen for action.” Todd doesn’t know what’s a big story anymore. The Daily Beast? Dum dums.

1.55. Julie’s still looking for the card. Oh yeah….Ebay!! Back to Disney talk. Season passes. “Small World’, “Mr Toad’s Wild Ride”. Zoe got to punch Matt in the stomach. Rightfully so. Peter Pan is a good one. When will Zola be old enough? She is terrified by “Where the wild things are”….also, “Grand Terino”- left “Million Dollar Baby” before the brain death.

2.00 Update on the card- 99c-2.99 or best offer. Todd got a complete set of cards by going through a bin in a toy store. 3 months. Bobafet came in the mail. The first Yoda was also a ‘send in deal’. That stuff was special There we go. Those kids don’t want to work. You can’t call them dumb fucks anymore though. I don’t know which bathroom to go in to. Guy ladies. Who was the senator or congressman? How horny do you have to be? Larry Craig. State Senator for Idaho..

2.05 Jimmy’s wrapping up. Call’s me the “songstress”. Todd likes Siren. That’s flattering- but not accurate. I’ll take it though. Thanks everyone!!
