Let's get started. 6 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, and welcome to today's game show with Howie 7 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: Mandel Louise. 8 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: Care to explain the rules? 9 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: Sure thing? The game is world you rather, so, I'll 10 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: give you two options. You have to choose which one 11 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: you want. Okay? First one, would you rather do a 12 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: show in a silent library or during a food fight 13 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 3: at school? 14 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 4: I would rather do a show during a food fight 15 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 4: at school because I'm not good when it's quiet, and 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: i would love the opportunity while I'm doing my job 17 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 4: to catch something and to snack. 18 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: Well, that's one way to avoid awkward silence. Have no 19 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: silence at all. Okay, Next one, luis question two? 20 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: Would you rather tell jokes to a group of cats 21 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: or a group of dogs? 22 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: I would like to tell jokes more to dogs than cats. 23 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: And I'll tell you why, because dogs, if they have 24 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: to go to the bathroom, will leave the room and 25 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: go outside. I assume they're all housebroken. Whereas a cat 26 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: uses a litter and it does it right in front 27 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 4: of me. I don't want that at my show. I 28 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 4: don't want you going to the bathroom while I'm performing. Please. 29 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: Well, that would be awkward, wouldn't it. 30 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I practice my jokes with Maxie. Okay, 31 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: final one? Would you rather laugh or sleep for twenty 32 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: four hours straight? 33 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: I will always pick laughter over anything. The best feeling 34 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: in the world is laughter. But if you're feeling sick, 35 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: if you're feeling sad, if you're feeling scared, if something hurts, 36 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 4: if you could make yourself laugh, you will feel better. 37 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: But I've never had any fun sleeping. I've never even 38 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 4: when I go to somebody's house to sleep over. The 39 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: most fun was staying up and laughing. 40 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: Beautiful answer, Howie, is there anything else you'd like to 41 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: share before we say goodbye? 42 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: If you take away one thing from today is just 43 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: to try to make yourself happy. Happiness is the best 44 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: and most important thing. You don't have to have a lot, 45 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 4: You don't have to be famous and have a lot 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: of people know who you are.

It can be kind of scary, but 53 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: you can get used to that feeling and even enjoy it, 54 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: like when you're on a roller coaster exactly. 55 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: Comedy is one of those things that you can only 56 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: really learn how to do by doing it, and it's 57 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: really been that way since the beginning of comedy.
