But I do have something I need you guys to check out.
- Okay. - ( thuds )
( music playing )
We are back and we're still hanging out with Zach Braff.
Now Zach, you play Alex in "Alex, Inc.,"
and you're a guy who quit
- a normal life - Yes.
and became a podcast networker.
- Hmm. - Yes.
He worked at a radio station.
It's based on a true story,
and he quits and starts his own podcasting company.
And his very first show is one about a guy
who knows nothing about starting a business, starting a business.
But he knows stuff about podcasts.
He knows a lot about podcasts.
- Okay. We do one of those. - Well, we're assuming--
we're assuming that you're a very method actor
and you now know a lot about podcasts
- because you're playing Alex. - Yes.
That would come in very handy
'cause we're gonna play a game
about whether or not you can recognize
a real or a fake podcast.
- Okay, I'm gonna kill this. - We each have paddles.
And this will comfort you, because if you're bad at this,
- just know Link will be worse. - Okay.
You know your role, is what they say.
You guys are playing against each other,
and you win a Golden Podcast if you get more than Link.
And by that-- it's just a gold cast.
- That's really all we could-- - - Aww...
Probably can't even get your foot in there.
- Plant a plant in there. - I just wanna say out loud
that if I win, I don't want that.
- ( laughter ) - Okay, if you win
you have to force Link's calf into it.
If I win, I'm gonna give that to some nice member of your beautiful crew.
Okay, here we go. We've got "Chameleon Breeder" podcasts with Bill Strand.
"Bill Strand, an accomplished chameleon breeder"--
That's convenient. "Spreads knowledge about his passion
which is chameleon breeding."
Episode titles include "Handling Your Angry Chameleon,"
"Reptiles and Your Relationships,"
and "Chameleon Fecal Exams."
- Whoa. - Real or fake?
- Wow. - It's basically
how to get your chameleons to have sex,
and how to examine chameleon poop.
- Mm-hmm. Fun, fun, fun all the way around. - Yeah.
Put that on a repeat. You know, that button
- where when it ends, just start it over. - Yeah, yeah.
You can't get enough. You know, the internet is so weird,
- You're tellin' me. - that I'm gonna go with that that has to be real.
Yeah, I think it's fake. A little too detailed.
And it involved poop, which is Rhett's type of humor.
- It's real! - I knew it.
Here's a picture of Mr. Bill Strand. Look at that guy.
Zach:
- Rhett:
- Those are leaf insects. - I think they're just pins.
- I think he's into pins and bandanas. - Brooches.
All I know is that Zach, you were right. Link, you were wrong.
- I feel good about this. I'm gonna win this game. - Question number two.
"Get ready for 'Wine and Spirits with Monica the Medium.'
In this bi-weekly podcast, Monica connects with dead people
while gabbing with guests over some Chardonnay.
Episodes such as 'Love Is In The Air, And So Is The Spirit,'
are what keep people listening in for more."
But is this real, or fake?
So she gets drunk and talks to dead people about love.
Yeah, it sounds like it's probably real.
But then he already did a real one, could it be fake?
This is what's happening in my brain.
Are we supposed to talk it out?
You're doing the C-student test technique.
You know how on some game shows,
they tell you to talk it out?
Like on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
You should definitely help me.
Oh, yeah, I'm helping you.
- Link, use your own lifeline. - Would you listen to this podcast if it were real?
No, but I might send it to my friend and be like,
"Can you believe how ridiculous this is?"
I'm gonna say that it's fake.
I have a reason why that I'm not gonna tell you.
- Oh. - Oh, okay.
- It's real, man. - It's fake.
- It's real! - Damn it.
"Monica Ten-Kate is a 23-year old medium
who can totally talk to dead people and is not lying."
- Link:
- Zach: Oh, my God. - I'm sure my Korean War POW dead grandfather
would be thrilled to have this drunk millennial talk to him.
Right!
Wow, that was a complicated sentence,
- but I followed it. - ( laughter )
- You guys are tied. - Okay.
Next we've got, "'Should I Get This Checked Out?'
A lively health podcast hosted by Dr. David Sawaki,
an internist, and Dr. Kenneth Hubert, a dermatologist."
- A doctor intern? - An internist and a doctor.
- They're both doctors. - Of course, I knew. Of course.
"They take call-ins who graphically describe their body questions
in episodes like, 'Genital Skin Tag Christmas,'
- ( chuckles ) - No way.
and 'Rashes, Rashes, Everywhere.'" Real or fake?
- This is fake. - This is fake because you said "Genital Skin Tag."
But those exist, brother.
That was my nickname in high school.
( laughter )
Yeah, well, I'm not telling you anything you don't know.
All right, you're right. It's fake.
- But you wish it were real. - But I do have something I need you guys to check out.
( laughter )
Seriously, that is a good idea for a podcast.
- Yeah. - Well, start it up.
And Genital Skin Tag Christmas
is playing at Coachella this year.
( laughter )
All right, question number four.
We've got the Potterotica Podcast,
a clean, fun podcast that chronicles the best of the best
in NC-17 erotic fan fiction
all set in the world of "Harry Potter."
J.K. Rowling must be proud, but is this real or fake?
- When you first said it-- - So I have so many questions.
Okay, yeah. I thought he was talking about erotic pottery.
Yeah, like in "Ghost," when they made out around the thing.
Yes. We were thinking the same thing.
- It's totally not that. - We must start this podcast.
Let's do one about "Ghost," and the erotic pottery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, so it's erotic NC-17 fan fiction for "Harry Potter."
- For "Harry Potter," and they read it to you. - Yeah.
- It sells itself, doesn't it? - I mean, even if it's fake, I kinda want to hear it.
- ( laughter ) - He's in.
I mean, I'm in. I think it's real.
Fan fiction exists everywhere.
Putting it in a podcast is the easy part.
And, you know, I know there's a lot of people
that get freaky with "Harry Potter."
Yes. You guys are right.
- Okay, we agree. - Yeah, I knew. I'm listening to that on the way home.
- Here are some episode titles. - Oh, my God. Look at that!
Rhett:
Zach:
Yes, exactly. "A Field of Naked Malfoys,"
"Ron's Tiny Problem,"
"The Vibrating Broomstick."
Unfortunately, there's not an episode called, "Hermione or Her Hiney."
( laughter )
Gosh.
Missed opportunity there, guys.
Call me. I'm full of these ideas.
You guys are tied going into the final round
- Both: Okay. - I'm ready.
Let's agree to disagree.
So that someone has to take this cast.
I don't want the cast, so I might lose on purpose.
That's another level of psychology.
Let me introduce you to PodCasing the Joint:
How To Steal Anything, the anonymous how-to podcast
that spends every week detailing the best way to shoplift,
pickpocket, and burglarize.
The host goes to great lengths
to clarify that this is all theoretical,
but I'm not sure it'll hold up in court.
Is it real or fake?
I think-- well, sorry. I'm not gonna tal--
I'm not gonna talk it out anymore
because I helped you last time.
You're getting competitive.
I'm not gonna do like they do on the game shows.
He wants that cast. Hold it up, let him sniff it.
I don't want to sniff that cast.
Then you don't know views, my brother.
- I think-- - It kinda stinks inside.
- Right, exactly. - Has someone worn that?
Well, they had to form it around somebody's foot.
- Okay. - I think--
I think it's fake because I feel like people would sue them.
It's real. I mean, it's anonymous, you know, dark web.
- You gotta go deep? - Deep.
You gotta go deep. You can only hear this podcast on the dark web?
- Congratulations, Zach! You win! - Yes!
- Look at how happy he is! - I lied about not wanting it!
I do want it! I do want it!
- Yes, thank you, Zach. Congratulations. - (singing "Lion King" opening)
- Thank you, Zach, for playing. - Thank you.
You can catch Zach starring in his new show "Alex, Inc.,"
premiering Wednesday, March 28 at 8:30/7:30 Central on ABC.
Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing.
- Now you say-- - Say, "you know what time it is."
You know what time it is.
