Episode 35: Dogs Are Better Than People

DOWNLOAD THE MP3 HERE

Why dogs are better than people • How a dog ruined Larry’s Christmas, and his father’s car, yet delivered this show to you • Why Larry loved Freddy, the world’s most psychotic, homicidal canine (and you will too) • What did Larry find in a junkyard that became an article of clothing he wore for years? • Is Trixie a dog name, a hooker name, or both? Meet Mama Jenkins, a .12 gauge totin’ maniac who almost took out Larry’s extended family  • What is Madera Star-Flecked Twilight and how can it bring you spiritual enlightenment? All this and more!

If you want a friend, buy a dog. Truer words were never spoken. This is the canine episode and early reviews are already ranking it top 3, right up there with How To Be a Mack Daddy and Larry’s Road Trip to Destiny. So make sure those ear-buds are snug and you’ve plenty of Kleenex. If you have a girlfriend, listen with her and you’ll thank me later. And the best way to do that is join the dojo at Patreon.com/thatlarryshow.

Did you know that around the world, people have different ways of mimicking dog barks? In the USA, we say bow-bow or woof-woof. But in South Korea, they say mung-mung! How do I know that? Join Patreon and maybe I’ll tell you in a bonus episode I’ll be doing on pointy, mysterious girlfriends from beyond Cathay. 

Here’s my dog, Moose. He’s a nasty little bastard, but I still love him. Why? Because he’s 12 pounds of Take No Sh*t ferocity. He looks sullen and pissed-off because as this image was snapped, some bozo said the word neuter.

For the record, I’ll shoot the next person who suggests I have him de-balled.

Will Rogers, who was not remotely funny in any way, was famous for having said, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” That signature quotation is not remotely funny and also proves him to be a liar. He was a jug-eared, un-funny goober who did his unfunny act while playing with a lariat. I’ve always wanted to go off on Rogers, and this is an opportunity to shoe-horn that in while saying my signature quotation: “I’ve met only a few dogs I don’t like, but most people piss me off.”

Follow ThatLARRYSHOW on Twitter. Why? Because that’s where I hang out between Tuesdays and sometimes rail about crap like the anti-free speech ad from those Commie pukes at Reebok. Here’s the meme I created that went viral. It was a re-work of their stupid “buy our sneakers while we tell you what to think and say and how to act” advertisement.

I once owned a pair of their sneakers, and they made my feet hurt.

Last week, we launched the first Life Hacks From The Dojo bonus mini-sode on Patreon and it was a hit. And it’s available to all belt-levels, not only the elevated (and pricier) ones. So email us your troubles to thatlarryshow@gmail.com and get a sensei on your side.

Is the thumb nail for this week’s episode an homage to Dick Masterson’s book, MABTW? Well, sorta/kinda. I’ve known great people of either sex (I never use the word gender) and plenty of cretins, too. But dogs are far superior to human beings. Fact. Fight me. And I’ll have Moose tear the ass off you.

Episode 33: CULTBUSTING

DOWNLOAD THE MP3 HERE

Larry’s prank call that had NYC cops chasing their tails •  The mass-suicide that was hilarious! • Why YOU are in a CULT and don’t even know it • Which cult did Larry escape from? • How a creepy, talentless dwarf got a harem (and you can, too!) • The cult that hitched a ride on a comet • What to wear to heaven • Why St. Peter cares about your shoes • The pointy chix who fought for Larry’s soul  • America’s new, fun religion • All this and more!

Question: What’s more fun than a mass-suicide of 39 web developers, many of whom were self-gelded?

Answer: Nothing. That’s about as funny as life (and death) gets. The Heaven’s Gate story happened 20 years ago, and I’m still laughing. And you will too when you stroll down Suicide Lane with Do Applewhite and his batshit-crazy disciples. See for yourself – their website is still up, right here . Is it wrong to laugh at the dead? Not those dead.

From that doughy little pissant in Pyongyang to your neighbor who thinks immortality is attainable through wheat-grass and date shakes, cults are just plain funny. Which is why I had to do this show. Cults are such a rich vein of comic material, it was tough keeping the episode to my usual compact length. I’m already considering a sequel. If you know any nutty adult cults about to do something sick to themselves, please give me advance notice. I want the scoop.

In this episode, you’ll meet Carson Bates, the rich-kid round-peg in a hexagonal hole who wound up with a genie hair-do, a saffron robe and a big goofy drum. And had platoons of NY cops looking for him, thanks to a prank phone call from moi.

Meet the impossibly pointy Tonya & Sister Stevens, who fought to induct me into their respective cults.  Women — you can’t live with them and you can’t recruit stupid men without them.

Take a second look at the foreign matter my kid discovered in a bag of tortilla chips. What the hell is that thing? Maybe there should be some kind of guessing contest. Suggestions are welcome.

Lay them on me at thatlarryshow@gmail.com.

Or ramble mindlessly at 302-71-larry.

Looks like Dick Masterson has been banned from Twitter again. Maybe we can carry his flag while he’s in the corner. Tweet at me.

Gotta go now. My saffron robe is just in from the dry cleaners. Hare Krishna!

Like free speech? Like seeing a billion dollar Goliath get its ass kicked by a David with a microphone? Then this your episode.

5 fast minutes of brutal, head-snapping, lie-pummeling truth. CNN hits the Dojo floor like the rotting cadaver it is.

Special thanks to my ass-kicking tag-teamer,  TNS Dojo Co-Counsel Nick Rekieta. And to dojo member Matt Reifler (for suggesting this episode.)

In this debut segment, you’ll learn how to (non-violently) flip price-gouging salespeople and get what you need at rock bottom prices. Life is one big negotiation, and TNS Dojo members always win.

You’ll also get a peek at the new mystery that’s got a billion dollar food company soiling its diapers. What the hell is in the tortilla chip bag that made Larry’s kid puke? We don’t know, because the bag is still unopened. But it sure as hell doesn’t look like something you’d want to eat.

What’s your guess? Email it to us at thatlarryshow@gmail.com. Or call us at 302-71-Larry. Give us your guess and/or tell us what foreign matter showed up in your snack pack.

 

 

Geraldo Rivera got famous when all of America tuned in to see Al Capone’s safe opened, where they found… nothing. Look at that picture, kids – does that look like nothing?

Episode 30: The 4th of July Death Bomb

DOWNLOAD THE MP3 HERE

What is a Death Bomb and why did it terrify Tony Spumonte? • Who is Bleeding Jesus Freddy? • Why all inflatable gorillas should be stabbed  • Which sucks more: Sale-a-thons or Sale-a-brations? • The evil fireworks ring you should love and support  • What’s inside Larry’s bag of tortilla chips, and why did it make his kid puke? • Which is the greatest patriotic song and who recorded it? • Will America exist in 1,000 years? • If not, who will have destroyed it? • All this and more!!!

Christmas in July? In America, we’ve had that since 1776 when we flipped the bird to King George and granted ourselves the real first freedom, the right to blow stuff to smithereens every July 4. But safety-obsessed nanny-statist puke bags have revoked that right, or at least gelded it to a point where spirited hand claps may be deemed “offensive displays of nationalism.” Those people are garbage. Throw ’em out!

In this episode, harken back to a July 4th in the not-too-distant past where Larry and his crew ignite a firework that would have Homeland Security wetting their pants and screaming for life terms.

Hang with Larry, Tony, pointy chicks and a new side-man: Bleeding Jesus Freddy. Eat and drink until your guts burst, then drink some more, play volleyball, water ski and at dusk, prepare for the big KA-BOOM! That’s what the 4th is all about. Freedom and adventure. Scarce in this world but abundant in every episode of That LARRY SHOW.

I call on all listeners and Dojo members to help solve a mystery – what’s in the tortilla bag that made my daughter puke? The bag remains sealed and the billion-dollar manufacturer remains unnamed. Perhaps next week I’ll post a photo of the sack and its repulsive foreign matter contents. I refrain from doing so today because chips are a staple of 4th of July feasts and I don’t want to ruin yours with a hideous image of… whatever the hell is in that bag. You cannot un-see this,  folks.

Did you know the show is on instagram? Some claim this show has the best thumbnails in all the podcast universe. Every one is meticulously conceived of and hand-crafted by your humble host. What do you think?

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s big, BIG release – only on PATREON. HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN SUPERMAN… YOU.  What’s it about? It’s about $5, but it’s the single best investment in your future you’ll ever make. Don’t miss it.

Follow us on Twitter , where we deliver 140 – character throat-punches to Commies and other creeps between episodes. Sometimes they’re group beat-downs with Dick Masterson.

Send us your troubles to thatlarryshow@gmail.com. But be quick about it. Our senseis are becoming overwhelmed and we may have to make them accessible only through Patreon.

Get an official dojo tee shirt here. They’re nearly sold out and collectible as hell – there won’t be a second run once these are gone.

I do hope you have already acquired you illegal fireworks for a bangin’ 4th of July. If you’re reading this, you already know about TNS, so I’ll leave you with a temporary slogan that will carry you safely through the coming holiday. DO NOT HOLD IN HAND.

Meet our new Dojo sensei – the tip-of-the-spear airborne infantryman now at the ready to help you slap your adversaries (and problems) into submission.

And we’ll be trying to do that with greater frequency when we launch our Nuggets From the Dojo mini-sodes later this month. We’ll hand-pick universal life dilemmas you send us and share them with the world – the Patreon world, that is, starting with yellow or blue belt dojo members (we’ve not yet decided which.) And our next bonus episode – on how to transform yourself into the only superhero worthy of his cape – Superman – will also be available only to Patreonis – so what are you waiting for?

It is now officially summer. From Bangor to Baja, that means tee shirt weather. The store is nearly sold out of our original TNS dojo shirts in gunfighter black. We may make each run unique, so if you miss these, they may not be repeated.

Yes, that’s me on the right, beside the pointy Peach Saliva. (Thank you, Dick!)  There were two other TDS co-hosts in the original image, but I cropped them out. Maybe Dick Masterson will give me the mold to this thing and I can offer them at the TNS Dojo Store with the official Dojo tee shirts: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to see all our thumbnails in one snappy archive, they’re on permanent display at Instagram. Checkum out.

In other news, last week’s thumbnail was rejected by Facebook censors as being “too sexual.” Looks like what one might see at any beach on the planet. What do you think? But I suppose pointy chix would be intimidating to girly-man Suckerberg. However, he runs video ads for Trojan with people fitting condoms on bananas. No doubt that kind of content is right in little hoodie-boi’s comfort zone.
