In this episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob welcomes Leanne Linsky, the founder and CEO of Plauzzable.com, a virtual comedy platform designed to provide comedians with a global stage and a simplified infrastructure for their business. During the interview, Linsky shares her background in comedy and her extensive history of volunteerism, which includes hosting TV shows for children at Kravis Children’s Hospital and running improv workshops for various non-profits. She reflects on the “good comedy karma” that comes from giving back and explains how Plauzzable aims to foster community and help independent creators succeed.

The conversation also highlights a major upcoming update for Plausible, featuring a redesign that incorporates an event directory for both online and in-person comedy shows, improved comedian profiles, and a more equitable revenue model. To keep things light, Bob and Leanne play a trivia game called “Most Plausible,” where Leanne successfully identifies clues about the late Richard Lewis. They wrap up with a round of “Ask Not,” where Leanne offers hilariously disastrous dinner party advice involving costume-clad bosses, finger foods without utensils, and second-hand party favors.

Hey, everybody, it’s LeMent Tonight. My guest tonight is Leanne Linsky. Leanne, how are you doing tonight? Hey, I am great. Thanks so much for having me on. I love that chair. Possibly because I have one just like it. Really? I got this chair to look younger. Oh, really? Yeah, it’s a gamer chair. I’m trying to look younger. I have that exact same chair with the headrest. Actually, before we started recording here, I was sitting back. I leaned back. and was swiveling around and made a really weird noise, and I thought, uh-oh, I’m going to have to go find another chair. But I just bumped into some instructions for a printer that I had sitting out over here. So, but Leanne Linsky, the, what do you call yourself, CEO, Chieftain, Grand Poobah of Plausible? Yes, the one and only. That would be me. That would be, well, and you’re here tonight, and so,
Why don’t you tell us, give us a little jokesters, a few jokes, these jokes here, and then we’ll talk some more. How’s that? Sure. Well, yeah, I mean, I will tell you. So, hey, everybody. People often ask, like, where am I from? All that. I’m originally from Waukegan, Illinois, and then I lived in Vegas for 16 years. And normally when I tell people that, they’re like, oh, my were you doing in Vegas? I’m like, oh my God, what do you mean? Besides all the drinking, gambling and prostituting myself. Okay. So I didn’t drink that much. And then I lived in New York for almost nine years. And when people hear that, they’re like, oh my God, Leanne, what’d you do in New York? So I just ignore them and keep walking. Then I moved to Long Beach, California and no one gave a crap. So
Here I am now in Seattle. Yes, crickets. Exactly. I’m in Seattle, Washington now. Living life online. Yep. Because we moved here right at the end of the pandemic and things still weren’t opened up. So I don’t leave my house. And now when I do, I have to say it’s fun, but it’s also awkward because I keep forgetting to unmute myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I don’t want to dazzle you with the rest of my brilliance quite this early in the show. That wasn’t a joke. That was just truth, everybody. Just truth. All right, Leanne, thank you very much. I was using the patented plausible reactions here. I appreciate that. I was also enjoying the swivel. Oh, yeah. I was trying out the swiveled a little bit. Yeah.
It’s good. It works. Yeah. So what’s been happening in your world? Apparently you don’t leave the house. So I’m hoping that it’s not all just DoorDash and streaming services, but maybe it is. No, we do go to the grocery store regularly. We do. We do doctor’s appointments, grocery store. I don’t want to tell you the highlight of my week, but it’s going to the grocery store. It is. It is navigating the parking lot at Trader Joe’s. I also do volunteer service. So I volunteer for a couple of organizations locally. Oh, really? Like, what do you do for that? What are you doing? Like cleaning people’s beards or what are you doing? Beards? No, I gave that up a while back. I actually volunteer at two thrift stores. One supports American Cancer Society and the other one supports a senior center. So.
Yeah, and I volunteer once a week at each of those places and put new merchandise out and do the window displays and things like that. It’s a blast. I love it. I had a terrible thought when you said that. I can’t help but mention it. Maybe one of the services, like help people with dementia, basically just take stuff out of their closet and have them come in and pick it up at the store and then we take it back out of the closet. which is hilarious because that’s just what I do. It’s horrible. It’s a horrible thought. You’re basically just getting them out of their, you know, apartment or whatever. Yeah. It’s like a cyclical thing. Oh, it is. You’re so nice. I mean, you do, well, I would never do volunteer work. I’m not a volunteer. Well, yeah, maybe no. So when I lived in New York, I got into doing a lot of volunteer service because in New York, um,
I volunteered at Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai. And they had a TV studio in the hospital, in the children’s hospital. And it was run by a nonprofit. And I would go in there and host TV shows for all the children in the children’s hospital. And they could watch up in their rooms. And we’d run game shows. And the kids could call in from their room phones. And then we’d do trivia games and all kinds of things where they could participate. by calling in and then after the shows were over, I’d go to the prize closet and I’d pick out prizes and go walk up there and say hello to everybody who participated during the half hour show. So that was really cool. And I also volunteered for an improv, a nonprofit that offered improv workshops and shows to other nonprofit organizations in New York area. So like Big Brothers Big Sisters,
Or hospice, Ronald McDonald home, Ronald McDonald house, different hospitals, senior centers, you name it. If they needed people to come in and cheer people up and brighten things up, we would go in and do a workshop or show on a regular basis. Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing. Yeah. That’s interesting. So how many other TV shows were there on this thing? Oh, so those two are separate. So the one- Oh, those two are separate. Yeah, so the one we did improv classes and shows for, and that was all in person where we would go and do these things at the hospital or at the hospice or at Ronald McDonald House or different venues where they would need us. And then the Kravis Children’s Hospital, that was separate. I actually met them because the improv group, we would do a TV show like once a month there, I think it was.
And maybe weekly. I can’t remember now. And then I got to know the producer and I was like, I’d like to do more of this if possible. And so I would go in a couple of times a week, sometimes three times a week and do, do shows, but they would do shows every day. Oh, really? Several times throughout the day for the kids. Yeah. Yeah. It was really cool. It was also very sad because not all kids were there short term. Some were there very long term and were, were, chronically ill or terminally ill, but it was, it was one of the really, it was a wonderful service that they offered so that kids didn’t feel so isolated and alone. How’d you get to be so nice doing all this? I mean, most, most comics are cynical and, you know, hate the world. And I know, well, you’re right. This is true. Right. And,
I would say that I am that person a lot of time. Like I can be that person if I want to, but since what I really started realizing is like in comedy, especially when we’re starting out and, and I, we probably do more of it when we’re starting out, but I think that no matter where we are in our comedy journey, we’re always, we’re always doing something for free or for a cause or for, ourselves like working out jokes we go to open mics we’re not paid to do that that’s just part of the process and yet there might be audiences at these open mics or you know you might get a spot in a show that just so you can go warm up to do another show those kind of things and you’re not paid for it people do it all the time celebrities do it right so but i think with comedy they were just bored right maybe uh maybe uh but i think there’s there’s an element of
It’s a gift because I get to do what I love, but I get to share it with other people who enjoy it or maybe not. But it depends on the set, you know, or the night. But but yeah, I think it’s enjoyable or torture. Yeah, I think it’s good comedy karma. But I don’t you know, just why not? Why not share it with people who can’t get to a good. That’s a good thought. I mean, that’s very positive thinking there. Yeah. And I mean, that’s part of what I do with plausible, right? Is give back to the community. I mean, why not? I want other people to succeed. How can we bring more people in and give people a place and a stage? And that’s a lot with plausible is if I’m having this problem, maybe other people are having this problem too. How can we bridge that gap? How can we help others as we help ourselves? Wow. Listen to all this.
Right? Who knew? I’m thinking you should open up the phones for donations. Yes, please do. Operators are standing by. Right. And even Jerry Lewis is going to pop up. That’s right. Let’s go look at the top board. Good to Brian in his sound-canceling headphones. Yeah, that’s right. Is he watching kickboxing? No. He’s watching the phones ring off the phone right now. That’s what he’s supposed to be doing. That’s so nice. And we’ve talked about this before, but I’m going to feign that I don’t know. So when did Plausible start? So officially, so the idea of it started way back in about end of 2014, 2015. That’s when I had the general idea. Cause I was moving from New York to California and I was like, Oh, I’m going to miss everybody in New York. Wouldn’t it be cool if we do something on Skype? And then people were like Skype. I was like, well, there’s this other thing, zoom. And then I was like, what? I was like, okay. Then life happened. And then I started producing shows in California and then I was doing podcasting that, but I still had this idea rolling around. So fast forward, uh,
I finally, I go back to school. I figure out like how to set up my, my business and put this together and build a team. And we launched plausible on the internet in 2021, no, 2022, December of 2022. And the thing is, as I started testing the idea in August of 2019 BC before COVID, and I started doing things online using my like WordPress website and zoom and a scheduling and all these things and cobbled them all together. And people were like, whoa, online, this is cool. And then the pandemic happened. Everybody’s online. I’m like, great. Because now everybody’s like, because some people that I didn’t know were like, why would I do that online? You’re crazy. And then the pandemic and they’re like, okay, let’s all be crazy together. And so in 2022, in December, we launched Plausible Online, like our own thing. So instead of having
to cobble together all of the other types of technologies. We just made one platform that offers the whole infrastructure for comedy. So that’s how we got here. Look at that. Yeah. It’s a virtual comedy club for you to do your comedy business. Or perhaps maybe some, you know, volunteerism. To volunteer your comedy to maybe shut-ins or something. Well, actually, a few comedians hosted fundraisers on here for their favorite nonprofit. So what they did is, separately, a couple comedians on their own had partnered with a favorite charity. And then they created the event online. And all the money that they raised through their ticket sales, they donated to that. non-profit yeah which those were some of our bigger shows. Like those were really people, people want to laugh, but they also want to laugh for a purpose and, and give back. Laugh for the rainforest. We’re going to have that on right yes lament for the rainforest that’s right i couldn’t well hold on there. Uh, just a second, Leanne. I’m going to,
I’m going to try something that I’ve never tried before and we’re going to see what happens. Perhaps if I can find it here, there we go. Okay, here we go. And let’s see. Can you see this? Yes. Are you tired of the same old boring nights and sick of dealing with crowded clubs to drink minimums and that long drive home? Well, get ready for a comedy revolution. Meet Leanne Linsky. She’s a hilarious stand-up comedian who decided to trade the traditional stage for a startup. All to bring the laughter directly to you. She created Plausible Compa Live, online comedy platform that’s changing the game. With Plausible, comedians get a global virtual stage, easy ticketing, and get to see your real-time reactions.

And if you enjoyed this, please like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell for more notification bell i love it that is incredible wow i need a new notification bell. I thought several times she had ended and i was like And then she started again. I’m like, oh, she psyched me out. I love that video. That’s what happens when you have AI do things. They think they’re done, and then they just keep going. She’s like, wait, I’ve got to add something. Oh, that’s amazing. I’m actually making a new video for our homepage because we’re launching a major update in the next day. Yes. You heard it here tonight, folks. A major scoop. Drop in the info right here on Lamentanite.
you’re here first because this is a major update to Plausible. It actually is. It’s a big update the biggest the biggest it is the biggest it’s the biggest update you will tomorrow so if you look around, poke around on plausible tonight, check it out. And then come back another day. Come back another day. And then come back another day. Come back. And leave. In the very near future. Uh, we’ll be launching, um, uh, we’re planning in the probably next 24 hours to launch a site update. And we’ve, you know, we launched what three years ago, we just celebrated our three year anniversary and we have been, um, so excited and, and happy with how the community has grown over this time. And all the people who just keep coming back and like yourself and hosting these
really cool shows and getting really creative and people are networking across the country, but also around the world. I mean, we get people from other countries all the time showing up and it’s lovely. And we’ve been listening and watching how people use Plausible, what they really, really like, what they wanna see, like that would also help them or other tools or features, or maybe how we can reorganize things and just make it easier to navigate. we’ve been paying attention to all those things. So this, uh, next site update is a, a nice redesign of simplifying what we offer with, um, uh, easier to read, uh, navigational tools. And then also we want to, we recognize like you, although everything i’m plausible is online, people still have to go out into the world and do in-person comedy. And although we were, people could,
post their in-person events in the past. We want to highlight those more so that people can show off their work. And so people will be able to come to Plausible now, and you’ll be able to see a whole event directory. So one will be for on Plausible, which is all online on Plausible, and the other is in person. And you’ll be able to sort by, so like in person, you can sort by country, city, state. You’ll be able to sort by event type. whether it’s a class, uh, sorry, whether it’s a open mic or a show, whether it’s paid or whether it’s free accessibility. So people are looking for disabled parking or wheelchair accessible bathrooms, things like that. It’ll have that information in there. Um, there’ll be a map. And then when you go to the on plausible and be able to look through that directory, you’ll be able to sort by event type paid or free. You’ll be able to see from.
You’ll be able to see a lot more. The Comedian Directory is getting a nice little level up on there. Yeah, so Comedian Profiles, they’ll be able to add some of their comedy reels. That’s like a new headshot. Yes, yes. You’ll want to update your bio. There’s a larger space for Comedian Bios so they can put in more about the work they’ve done. I can put my expertise in graffiti on the palm pile. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Please put that down as a special skill. Yeah. So there’s like all these really cool things and the dashboard will be easy and simple. I’m so excited about this. We have been working on this for a really long time and it started out as like, Hey, let’s just make these changes. And then the team, my team is awesome. I am so grateful because they put so much thought behind everything and, and take, you know, well, we want to, well, if this, then what does someone, you know, let’s make this, this way.
it’s just kind of grown. And so, so now it’s tomorrow. I’m hoping, you know, we’re working out a few last minute things and we’re aiming for sometime tomorrow. So you keep watch, check back often early. Yes. Yes. And if not tomorrow, Monday, but one of these two days tomorrow or Monday. So, but I don’t want to launch something and have it on stable. So, so we’re, we’re just, you know, we’re like, Oh, one more thing. One more thing. So I always say, I always tell people it’ll be tomorrow or Monday. Usually I say that on a Monday. So that’s the funny part. It’ll be a whole nother week. And the other thing too, is comedians will be able to earn more money. So what? Yes. Oh my gosh, Bob. Comedians will, it’s a simple, simple revenue model for comedians. It’s,
an 80, 20 split. So 80% goes to the 80% goes to you. No, the comedian. 99% goes, no, it’s an 80, 20 split. Okay. Yeah. And if comedians, especially newer comedians are like, I’m not sure what to charge for a ticket, they can enable a new pay what you want. So they can put in a minimum price of a dollar and then invite their friends. And if their friends want to pay $5, $15, the friends can put in the amount. They just have to pay a minimum of $1. You know, Jon Bon Jovi has a restaurant that does that. Did you know that? Yeah, that’s right. I don’t know. I saw an article about that. And look at how well it’s doing. He’s got some other bank roll going on, but no, it’s interesting. He does that as part of a charity thing as well. So that’s right. He does. Yeah. But that’s fun. That’s great.
So, yeah, so we’re just trying to make it better always. You know, it’s a work in process, just like a well-written joke, right? It takes time, goes through many iterations. It’s never finished, right? It’s like a painting. Yes. I agree. So, yeah, so I’m, like, super excited, if you can’t tell. Well, I can tell you somebody else is super excited. That’s Gary Lime and the Fleetons. They’re going to play us a little song, and we’ll be right back with a game. That’s enough of you, Gary. But it’s rock you like a hurricane. It is rock you like a hurricane. Scorpions. Oh, my goodness. So, yes, Gary, you’re going to get us in trouble. I had that album. Everybody had that album at that time. The controversial album, though. Yes. The album cover that was. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, rock you. Yeah, exactly. Wow. You got it. Yeah, that’s funny.
I had Eric Sizemore. He’s been in the comedy, you know, what do you call it? The contest. Anyway, he was a guest on Lament Tonight a few weeks ago. And he’s like, wait a minute. That’s aha. And I’m like, yeah, it is. Was it take on me? It is take on me. I had the 45. There’s a lost format right there. The 45. Right. Well, I actually have a 78. Oh, my. My mom. You’re giving. This is inheritance, folks. My parent, my mom’s family, when she was a kid, she came from a family of nine, nine kids. And they were my grandmother listened to the radio. They listened to the radio all the time. They won a contest and they got to bring the whole family and get on the radio. Oh, wow. And they cut him a record.
Yes. And they cut him a record of them on the radio it’s hilarious yeah that’s wild i i have a new game for you. Let’s see if i can, uh, I can bring this up here i’m gonna try new things tonight for everybody. Oh, I hit the wrong button. New things tonight for everybody. Here it is. Can you see that? Yes. Oh, okay. Most plausible. It’s a game called most plausible. Now I’ll tell I’ll just, that’s just a quick logo I threw together before we started tonight, but I have to switch over to the next, the next screen here to actually give you the thing. So it is a, uh, it’s a quiz show. I don’t know if you might not be able to see that. Let me make that bigger. Can you see it better now? Let me get my glasses on. Yeah. Maybe a little small. Oh, I can make you big on my screen. Okay.
So it is a quiz basically. And what I’m going to do is I’m going to have some questions for you and then you are going to, um, answer the question and we’ll see if you get it right or not. But basically the questions will lead you to the most plausible comedian that it possibly could be. Oh, I like this. So there’s five questions and they start out, uh, harder and i think get easier is the idea okay okay all right so our most plausible comedian is what we’re looking for. So first question here leanne so can we see you? Hold on. Let me put you back on the screen. Can you, how can i just get you on there in me go to my here we go yeah there you go. Can you still see what i’m sharing? Okay.
So here we go. First question. Most plausible comedian is who you’re trying to figure out from these quiz questions. In his 1979 acting debut, this mystery comedian starred in a satirical TV movie titled Diary of a Young Comic. Which future superstar co-starred with him in that film, do you think? Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Chevy Chase, or Robin Williams? I’ll give you a hint if you want it. Ah. Or if you think you know, then just tell me and I’ll click on it and we’ll see if you got it right or not. Was it Billy Crystal? Correct! These two legends were close friends in the New York City comedy scene and shared the screen in this early project. That’s great. You got one right. Woohoo!
Number two, question number two. This comedian claimed to have invented a specific linguistic formula used to describe bad experiences. What is the missing part of his famous phrase? The blank from hell. Is it blank? Is it situation? Is it ex-wife or comedian? You can also take a hint. I would say ex-wife. It was the blank. You can’t use this Mad Libs style phrase to describe everything. The date from hell. The dentist from hell. Sorry. That was a bit tricky. So you’re one and one. We’re going to go to the next question, Leanne. I was thinking of Johnny Carson. I don’t know why. Ed, quit drinking. I’m trying to do a show. From 1989 to 1992, he starred in a romantic sitcom titled Anything But Love. Who was his co-star, famous for her role in the Halloween franchise? Was it Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, Sigourney Weaver, or Janet Leigh? Wait, wait. Say the beginning of the question. Who is he? He’s the most plausible. What was the question?
So from 1989 to 1992, this most plausible comedian starred in a romantic sitcom titled Anything But Love. Who was his co-star? Famous for her role in the Halloween franchise. Was it Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, Sigourney Weaver, or Janet Leigh? Oh, no. I’ll give you a hint. She is the daughter of Tony Curtis. What? And became a scream queen before the sitcom. Was it Jamie Lee Curtis? It was Jamie Lee Curtis, yes. Yeah, that’s kind of a give me hint there, wasn’t it? Yes. You have any idea yet who the most plausible comedian could be yet? No? Oh, because they’re all related, all these questions. All these related to one person. Was it Johnny Carson? Is that what I had been talking about earlier? No, no, no, no. All right, let’s go to question number four. I just thought I’d ask. We’re more than halfway through. This comedian was legendary for his frequent late-night appearances. On which host show did he appear over 40 times, often leaning on the desk in mock despair?
Johnny Carson’s show. Obviously, it’s a night show. Oh, I’m trying. Colonel O’Brien, late night. What? Okay, yeah. Jay Leno’s version of this night show or David Letterman as in late night with David Letterman. And he kept showing up and. He did 40 appearances and he would lean on the desk and mock despair. You want the hint? Yeah. The host is known for his top 10 list and his gap tooth grin. Oh, David Letterman. David Letterman. Yeah. That’s right. Wow. Fantastic. Still don’t know who it is yet, huh? No. All right. This may give it away. Yeah. All right. This comedian, in his later years, he played a fictionalized, highly neurotic version of himself. On which HBO show did he constantly bicker with his real-life best friend, Larry David?
Was it on Entourage, Larry Sanders Show, Seinfeld, or Curb Your Enthusiasm? Curb Your Enthusiasm. Of course it’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. Do you know who it is now? No. No. I was an extra on Curb Your Enthusiasm once. Oh, my gosh. You don’t know who it was? No, I don’t know why I’m getting confused. All right. Do you want me to reveal here? yeah mr richard lewis oh man i was that’s who our most plausible comedian was. There you go. I failed. I failed. Oh, you got to most of them right. Let me see here. You got four out of five, correct? That was fun oh yeah i got more of them right than i Yeah, well, you took a couple of hints, but we’re not going to ding you for points on the hints. But you did take a couple of hints, so that’s okay, though. That was a good game. Well, you played very valiantly. Oh, thank you. I’m surprised you didn’t get who it was. You and me both. No pressure, Leigh-Anne, no pressure.
But Gary’s going to give us a little taste of something here. Bob, you are a great asshole. I know, Gary. Thank you, Gary. Thank you very much. That was really nice. Gary really, they’ve got some good, uh, fast fingers. I don’t know. Eddie Van Halen’s got nothing on Gary. I love the devil. So from the Scorpions, it’s eclectic. Eclectic is one thing you can say about the fleet zones. That’s for sure. I love the fleet tones. So we have a couple of – one more quick game we can play here. Let me share my screen again. I’m really liking this share my screen thing here. So can you see that? Yes. Okay. So this is – you won’t be able to read it. I’m going to read about it out here. You can read it. So I made little graphics for each one of the games. So this is World Gone Wrong. All right.
And this is, which one is this one now? I’m losing my place as I just said, oh yeah, we’ve made these games and now I’ve lost my place. What is this one? This is what a story. This is where you’ll tell it. We’ll go wrong as we talk about world events that is just so crazy that they’re terrible, which I don’t think we want to go there. This tonight. And then what a story is where I will give you a premise and then you’re going to tell me a story. about it. Totally made up on the spot, right? Yeah. And this one’s called mind Guck, which is a fantastic name that i love, but everybody else probably doesn’t love it because it sounds terrible right mind guck uh and that’s where i come up with a crazy piece of trivia that uh they know and try to uh you give me examples, so you just make something up, so.
You just have to make up a crazy piece of trivia and try to sell it, right? So you want us to believe your trivia. And then this one is you are the expert. And so then I will tell you an area that you have expertise in and we’re going to have a little conversation and you have to convince me that you’re an expert. Oh, I like that one. I’ll do that one. You want to do that one? Oh, yeah. You want me to continue? I got two more. Oh, okay. What are the other ones? That was just really good. Okay. word spew. And that’s where I give you an identity. So I’ll say you are a Benedictine monk and you have to Google it. I’ll do random words and then you’ll have to, you’ll have to, you know, kind of word association kind of game. And then the last one is ask not. I’ll pose a question and you need me to give me the worst advice possible in that area. Oh, I like that one too.
Okay. Yeah. I’ll give you the choice. You like Ask Not or the other one I think was, was it MindGuck or was it You Are the Expert? I can’t remember. I liked Being the Expert. Okay. Well, which one would you like? Ask Not or You Are the Expert? I liked Giving Advice. Either one I think I’d excel at. Well, since we’re on Ask Not, we’re going to do that one. And remember, I’m going to pose a question to you and then you need to give me the worst advice possible for that question. All right. Done. Now, give me just a second here. I got to fire up the old question machine. Right. Talk amongst yourselves. These are great games. I like these games. Did you come up with all these games? Well, obviously they’re derivative. Oh, yeah. But yes, I did. They’re awesome. I want to come back every month and play different games. People will be like, I’m not watching her again. That’s enough. She didn’t even do a lot of comedy. Okay.
So remember, this is ask not. This is the worst advice you can give somebody, right? I’m going to have a dinner party for my boss and his significant other. What should be my menu and how should I present this? A dinner party for my boss and his significant other. And you’re going to lay out the… advice on how I should handle this, you know, kind of give me the knife. The first thing popping in my mind is hookers and Coke. cares how you present it? Well, if i think about my boss, that’s probably not the worst advice. That probably would give me a promotion. Um, and yes, I do work for donald Trump. No, I’m just kidding. Right. Yeah. Uh, we’re not even gonna go there. Yeah. I’ve got too many answers for you um yeah just change it to young woman. Okay. Um,
what was the, so stick with this one. Do you want me to elaborate? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think hookers and blow is a very good answer, but I was hoping it’s not the worst. Okay. So I’m thinking, cause I was thinking mad men theme also with that should definitely be a costume party, but forget to tell all of the other guests. I think just, to show i would just be in a costume or? Just the boss would be tell the boss just in a costume tell the boss it’s a costume party and then because if it was me, it would be every night. I’m always in the costume really yeah constantly yeah and then and then i would definitely serve like all finger foods in bowls, but with no serving utensils. And I would do it during flu season.
Yeah, lots of pinwheel sandwiches uh lots of m&ms and trail mix, but no scoops like lots of that. Lots of that um not even a toothpick, huh? No, no, no. Just let it fall. Let the bread and crust fall as it you know, where it will, where it will it may yeah and also like, if we want to go on that theme of germs, then i would do a punch bowl and yeah you know um with that ladle. Yeah. In little solo cups, that kind of thing. I thought you were going to say serve it in a neti pot. Oh, those are the to-go bags those are like the little, um, What do you call it? Oh, yeah, the little favors. Party favors. Yes, party favors. Those go home. You are the Auntie Martha Stewart, I think. But I think open them and don’t give the neti pot in the box that it came packed in. Take it out, touch it, make sure it’s all… Make it like a magic trick and have everybody look at it and handle it? Yeah, and then throw in a few used tissue. Oh, actually…
I think it should be like a gift exchange should be happening. Everybody should bring like a flu and cold season gift. All right. But your boss, who thinks it’s a costume party. Who’s dressed as a harlequin. Yes, he’s dressed as a harlequin. And his wife is a sexy something. Like a scary vampire or whatever. They come with no gift. Ah, okay. And then they feel awkward, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there’s, you know, someone is short a gift. Yeah, I think all of that should happen. And also, everybody has to take their shoes off. Invite people, nobody who knows each other well, and everybody has to take their shoes off at the door. That’s also a big thing. Always invite a lot of people and no one can wear shoes in your house. I think that is probably very bad advice. You know, like, because…
also make sure those shoes part make sure when you’re serving that your hair dips down into the food as you pick up empty cups off the table. Yeah, that’s a, yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Um, those would be some thoughts. Yeah. Those are, that’s where i’m going. Also don’t clean in advance. Why would you clean before a party? There’s so much cleanup to do after the party. Do it at once. Yeah. Yeah. Why bother? That’s when I pay somebody. Especially in the bathroom. What? Don’t put any toilet paper in there. Yeah, don’t put any toilet paper. Make sure you have a seven-layer dip on the menu. Oh, my goodness. Things with lots of mayo. That’s some bad advice there. I think you’re. I think you win that one here. Let’s see. We can give you a little. I mean, I was off to a shaky start with the hookers and blow, but I don’t know if that was shaky. They could come later. Here, we’ll give you we’ll give you some nice little ukulele music.
That’s fantastic. Well, Leanne, thank you very much for being my guest tonight on Lament Tonight. And everybody look forward to the changes on Plausible. Yes. And remember Richard Lewis. He’s been dead now for like a year or so. Two years now, I think. Maybe that’s why you didn’t remember him. I don’t remember anything anymore. Who am I? Why am I here? But he was the most plausible comedian for the night. And we will see you next time in about a month’s time. And I’ve gotten on things and I’ve got my next guest already. Who’s your next guest? Well, I don’t have it on the schedule yet because I’m waiting. But they’ve agreed to it and I still got to put it on the schedule. But it is a comedian. His name is Todd Van Allen out of Canada and his friend Darcy.
Yay! And so I’ve been on Todd’s show called Oshpod. Yes, I was on there. Yeah, I think, yeah, you were on there too, right? Mm-hmm. And he just had one of my favorite comedy magicians on his show. His name’s Piff the Magic Dragon out of Las Vegas. Ooh, very cool. Yeah. So Todd’s going to be on with Darcy in a month. I think it’s on February 12th, just in time to not be in Valentine’s Day. Just ahead of Valentine’s Day. Just in time to not have plans. That’s right. Thanks, everybody. Gary’s going to play us out. Everybody take care and have a great one. Here we go.
