For each seminar, the employees were told that a real, certified life coach would perform a seminar that would change their life for the better. Most were skeptical. But Dr. Lanny did his best to change all that. He started things off with a bang - by making a dramatic entrance to the song “Sirius” by The Alan Parsons Project (a song once used to introduce the starting lineup of the Chicago Bulls). Right when the synthesizers kicked in, Dr. Lanny entered the crowded conference room (still holding his cassette tape player) and began to jump up and down and yell “Get Psyched!”

Still, most remained skeptical. But after Dr. Lanny led everybody through The Seven Steps to Living a Better Life, as well as exercises of Quick Hands and Shuttle Runs, he had several believers on his side. Plus he broke the world record for psychedness on his psych-odometer. So I think, all in all, it was a success.

Also, Dr. Lanny had his expert camera crew on hand to film each seminar (each camera operator wore a “Get Psyched” T-shirt). So hopefully you can see the footage sometime soon.

What does this all mean? It means you should hire Dr. Lanny Latham immediately for your own seminar. Click here to contact Dr. Lanny Latham. Your life will drastically change for the better. Don’t believe me? Well, maybe this will help you….

Quick Hands!

Quick Hands!

I think I’m in three of the episodes. In the first episode I play a guard in tights. In the third episode I play a zombie keyboardist in tights. And in the fifth episode I have a few roles - none in tights. So DVR it! Or watch it live! Tights!

For Permanent Nutface Gary I have to film some pick-up shots for a Father’s Day video I’m doing for Funny or Die. So stay tuned for that.

For Dr. Lanny Latham, I was hired to perform a fake seminar for a company in Brooklyn. It is sort of a prank I think. I guess I’ll find out when I get there.

So I traveled on the subway this morning with a camera, a boom box (for Gary), clothes for Gary, props for Dr. Lanny (which includes a toy guitar, a toy keyboard, a jump rope, a hand puppet, a noise maker, a fake snake in a fake can of peanuts, etc.) and my suit for Dr. Lanny. And I carried all of these items up the elevator to my cubicle at my day job. Throughout the day I will be changing into my various characters’ getup, grabbing my props, and traveling around NYC to perform, all while I’m supposed to create an image that I’m still doing normal day-job type work.

It’s actually just a typical day at the office for me. But still…

The insanity has got to stop. Make it stop. Why? Why must it continue?… Quick Hands!…Ah, much better…

Audience is asking themselves, “Who’s this guy?”

Dr. Lanny is telling them to “Get Psyched.”

“Quick Hands!”

Stilts.

In addition to the benefit concert on Friday night was the actual AIDS Walk NY on Sunday morning. Our good friend, Permanent Nutface Gary, just might’ve participated in this walk as well. We got some great footage of Gary walking through Central Park as crowds of people cheered him on. Team Supersnack was cool enough to go along with it and led many cheers of “Go Nutface! Go Nutface! Go!” On Monday, my mouth, neck and head were really sore. And I couldn’t figure out why. Then I remembered, “Oh yeah, I had my head and neck turned back with my mouth wide open while I walked around for 6 miles. Maybe that was it.” But I think it was worth it. Stay tuned for the next Permanent Nutface Gary video.

Now at this time, I’d like to highlight two of those shows. The first one is a showcase show at the UCB. Here’s the info:

In related news, last Saturday, I had the honor of performing at the hit improv show, Let’s Have a Ball. And I might be sitting in on future shows. So stay tuned for that.

Okay, that’s that. Thanks for listening. I mean reading.

Yesterday was my Dad’s 70th Birthday. As a present, my sisters’ and I made a video for him. We all live all over the place (London, NYC, and West Chester, PA), so we had to film everything separately, and I had the task of editing the footage together. I have zero experience editing, but I was able to somewhat pull it off. It still doesn’t look very slick, but it’s okay for a “Latham” job I guess. The video is very long at 13 minutes, so you definitely don’t have to watch it. But hey, you get to see my awesome nephews and niece, as well as my cool sistas’. But definitely turn it off before you see me at the end. Otherwise you’ll have to sit through my excruciatingly painful performance, full of exaggerated accents that go in and out. (If you can’t tell, my Dad is into Elvis.) Also, if you can’t tell I am a huge dork-wad.

Oh yeah, also today is my wife’s birthday. She is not 70, but I still thought I’d make a special video for her as well.

Above is a new video I did for UCBComedy.com called “Ask Bobby”. I first performed “Ask Bobby” live on stage at an Osgood-Schlatter Show a few years back. But with the help of one Will Hines I fine tuned it and broke it up into four parts. Will did a great job directing and editing it. Greg Tuculescu and Violet Krumbein also did a great job as the voices of the callers. Below are links to all four videos in the “Ask Bobby” series. Enjoy.
