What is the premise of the Loser Line podcast?

Robert Smigel 0:00
Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy? Not quite! On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between-songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games.

How can humor help with awkward social situations?

Robert Smigel 0:36
Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Jeffrey 0:47
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it.
Robert Smigel 1:07
She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming. When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace, pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

faked a medical emergency?
Robert Smigel 1:23
And spoiler, that was just the beginning. To find out how it ends, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Alex English 1:32
On the Look Back At It podcast.

1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me.
Alex English 1:37
I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.

What is the concept of the Enhanced Games?

Sam Jay 1:49
84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Unknown 1:56
Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what y'all say.
Robert Smigel 2:06
Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to The Clifford Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. Hey, girl. What's up with you? Wait a minute. Is this the right number? It's the loser line. Come on. Just call me back. If you haven't heard the loser line before, it works like this.
Robert Smigel 2:49
Let's say someone approaches you when you're out at the club and uses this charming pickup line on you. Ooh. Dang, girl, are you a Pokemon? Because I'd sure like to take a Pikachu through my telescope. Whatever you do, don't point and laugh calling his telescope a microscope. Instead, tell him why watch from afar when you've got an open invite to get up close and personal. That's right. And that's when you give him the number to the loser line. Of course, you should email him that number. You don't want to be in the same room with him when you do that. So hopefully he calls it and leaves an awkward voicemail that we can play over the air. Voicemails like this one.
Unknown 3:29
Next message.
Robert Smigel 3:31
Hi, this is A. My buddy Kurt told me I should call you. Yeah, he thought it would be a good match. So yeah, are you like on MySpace or whatever? I'm just joking. 2003 was the last time I was single, so I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Anyway, I know we haven't seen each other in person, but you should know that I'm in really good shape for my age. All my workouts are just me aggressively walking around Costco looking for samples. That wasn't a joke. I actually do that.
