[Editor's note: At about the 1:30:00 mark we break and jump to plugs. The missing conversation gets into the news and travels all over. The last part of the clip is The Writing Process, in which the boys share their work, talk about their approaches to creativity, and Jeff reads a very sensuous passage from his most recent book. Look for Part 2 which should drop later in the week!]

In which Jeff and guest host Steven Dombrosky welcome Brock Terrano, comedian and private eye, to the studio to discuss a great many things, including why he prefers to be called midget; Brock has an ankle bracelet; Doug Benson can't hotbox the outdoors; Narin uncovers pictures from Brock’s childhood for a roast slideshow; Brock books a show at a bikini bar; Steve has a crazy laugh; Brock rides on another comic's shoulders; Popeye the Sailor Man's look was based on Bremerton sailors; Magic Cards and Pokemon Cards are mentioned; Jeff tells a strange love story; Fitz and the Tantrums has a creepy lead singer; Steve does creative cross-pollination; Eric Clapton's chime guy has it made; we ponder whether writing longhand accesses a different part of the brain; RIP Jerry Lewis; Jeff tells a story about John Wu and some college girls; Brock had a stay at home dad; he thinks “little people” is demeaning; he wouldn't call the LPA geniuses; "tales of the other midget";  Brock helps a lady get into the Little People show; he has an upsetting word for taller people; he does karate; Steve grew up Mormon; Brock played the clarinet; Steve recommends some books; once again Jeff plugs Greg Behrendt; codependency is hard; and more!
