From spooky winds and jazz trumpets to flatulent werewolves (yes, really), the team acts out a hilariously chaotic radio drama complete with A+ farts, questionable owl impressions, and plenty of laughter.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show
Morning Show, This is fun. Nate said, let's do something fun.
Let's do something that dos this theater of the mind. Yeah,
he said, how about sound effect theater. I went, oh
my god, what a great idea. I love sound effect theater.
What exactly is sound effect theater?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Sound effect theater is remember there's old timey radio shows.
Well they were probably old when you were young, thank you, sorry,
but they would tell a story and there would be
sound effects and it would sound like you're listening to
a movie basically, right. So the difference is with sound
effect theater, You're reading the terrifying tale and everybody here
in the room is supplying the sound effects. Are you
(00:42):
guys on board?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
This is so fun.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
So gandhi, You're going to be a breeze, scary, is
going to be the sound of leaves, Froggy is gonna
be a star, a car starting, and it just goes
on and on. Are you guys up to this? Yeah?
All right, we have a practice, so this is gonna
be amazing. Yeah, what could possibly possibly go wrong? Welcome
(01:06):
to Sound effect Theater. It was a breezy evening with
the wind blowing through the leasons. As the young farm
girl opened her car door and got in, she started
(01:30):
the car. Did it start?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
It didn't sound like it started.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
She started the car and accelerated while shifting the manual transmission.
She sped down the dark country road and turned on
the radio to hear an awkwa song I'm a Barbie Girl,
Barbie war. So quickly she changed to another station where
(02:01):
a jazz trumpet was quickly playing. The jazz trumpet got
faster and faster and was joined by a ripping bassline. Somehow,
a fiddle also joined it, until she tuned the station
(02:22):
to another station and a female opera singer was singing
the final notes of her performance. The crowd broke into
applause as she finished her final note, and then she
decided to tune into a news station teletype machines indicating
(02:46):
there's a breaking new story. The announcer said in a
booming voice, Strange reports had been coming in the flatulent
werewolves throughout the area. Please stay in tune chill where
well okay. Suddenly, a loud, grinding noise began to emit
(03:09):
from under the hood, joined by a sputtering sound until
a cough and a bang. Coffin bang, A coffin bang.
I mean it's like at the end of it, the
engine dies right, and a cough and a bang. The
(03:31):
cars cars don't cough they this one did anyway. The
coffin bang finished off the engine, and the car slowly
whined to a stop on a dark gravel road. Opening
(03:53):
the door, an owl hooted in the distance. Another hooted
even closer, and another even closer, until she was barraged
by incessant hooting. Surrounded by owls, she decided to run
(04:15):
down a dirt path to avoid the winged predators of
the night. The hooting grew softer until the owls were
replaced by a distant werewolf owl distant, this distant followed
by a faint fart. The news report about Gassie werewolves
(04:45):
hadn't been a joke. It scaries. Out of bread power,
Cher has lost oxygen. Her footsteps fell faster, breathing heavily.
She was startled by a bat flitting vine as she
(05:06):
ran onto the creaky porch of an old farmhouse. The wind,
the wind, I can't hear the wind, wind, the wind whistled, whistle,
whistling wind, whistle wind whistled through the old structure as
(05:26):
another werewolf howled closer, followed by another slightly louder fart,
a crack of thunder through the night as the house
creaked and groaned around her as she ran through the house,
and then a werewolf howl foldered behind her, followed by
(05:50):
a louder fart. The gassie werewolf was close behind as
the loudest howl went there with the most cacophonous fart
thundering through the empty house. The girl screamed as an
old alarm clock as an old not a cuckoo clock,
(06:16):
an alarm clock sounded off. She bounced up in her
springy bed. It was morning. A rooster crowed, a cow mood,
a chicken clock in a goat name. It had all
(06:38):
been a dream? Or had it to go back to
the other sand of it? Hold on? And then and
then a distant werewolf howls in a semi distant lingering
(06:59):
fart the end some rehearsal like that. Why do we
even read about it? I don't even know what this was.
There's a farting. I gotta say.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I gave Scary a plus on his sound effects. A
plus scary.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm sweating because of Proggy? Did I mean? Everyone did
a great job. A little more volume, Froggy, a little
more volumes. The wind, it said, it said, distant wind.
I don't want to go. I thought his cough bang
was incredible.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, there sposed to be the sound of an engine
coughing and banging, but he had had the sound of
a person coughing. I wanted that interesting. The plot was
a little shady, even a C plus. But nothing happened.
There's no there's no story sound effects. Why don't should
be a story involved as well? Don't you think there
(07:52):
should have been death? By the way, your owl hooting
is terrible? Yeah? What the owl hooting?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Do?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
An owl that's not an owl? I thought everybody did
really good farts. I thought my bats were pretty good.
Your bat is to your ba was good. Give me
my bag up there. Yeah, I'd like to hear one
of you do a cacophonist fart. You really want me
to do it, I'll do one
