Everybody, Ethan Klein and Ethan H3. Bye, guys.
That's H3 Show live from Los Angeles, California here today with our guest. Howie Mandel is back in the studio.
Howie Mandel (0:41)
Yeah, I'm back on the show. I just got the-
Ethan Klein (0:44)
What are you playing, steak?
Howie Mandel (0:45)
No, my daughter just texted me.
Ethan Klein (0:49)
Oh, yeah.
Howie Mandel (0:50)
My daughter who I do, she goes, this is a comforting title. Howie Mandel back with his hand job scandal.
Ethan Klein (0:56)
Well, let's crack that open.
Howie Mandel (0:59)
That's how you open this with my hand job scandal, and my daughter writes me about this?
Ethan Klein (1:03)
Well, she was there when you said it. I mean, it's good. We're going to break this down for the sake of both of you guys.
SPEAKER_4 (1:08)
Hi, Jackie.
Zach Louis (1:10)
Hi, Jackie.
Howie Mandel (1:11)
I'm just thrilled to be part of this.
Ethan Klein (1:13)
Listen, you put her in the middle of this. We're going to get to the bottom of this. So first of all, today's episode is sponsored by Gamersubs. Thank you so much.
What is the title? What did we end up on? Did we put a hand job in the title?
Howie Mandel (1:27)
Oh, I'm getting nervous. Is there a wipey or a...
Zach Louis (1:30)
Oh yeah. Can we get a towel? We have a spill. We got a spill over here.
Howie Mandel (1:34)
Got a spill.
Zach Louis (1:35)
I'm nervous now.
Howie Mandel (1:36)
I started off nervous. I thought Howie Mandel's back is enough. You got to bring up the hand job. You know, the last time, the last few times I was here and you... Hi, thank you so much. I appreciate it. A wet anus.
Ethan Klein (1:50)
He's the play, Hila used the fluoride. Yes, a wet anus.
Howie Mandel (1:53)
I got in trouble for the... I didn't know what a prolapse was.
And then the prolapse has lasted, it's lore now. In fact, the painting that you gave me from one of your viewers or followers still hangs prominently in our office.
Ethan Klein (2:06)
Which is crazy.
Howie Mandel (2:08)
Why?
Ethan Klein (2:08)
Because it's just a lot to confront your guest with right out the gate.
Howie Mandel (2:12)
No, not in my... Like in the control room. So that, you know, it's for the people that I'm closest with.
Ethan Klein (2:18)
Inspire them.
Howie Mandel (2:19)
Inspiring. And then, and when that happened, I think part of the scandal was that I did lose accounts. I lost a lot of money.
Ethan Klein (2:31)
That's crazy.
Howie Mandel (2:32)
No, no, but...
Ethan Klein (2:33)
But they're back now.
Howie Mandel (2:34)
No, not those people. Never came back. Never came back.
Ethan Klein (2:37)
Well, we don't like, we don't need them anymore.
Howie Mandel (2:39)
No, I like them, but I don't... They can't handle the truth.
Ethan Klein (2:43)
Yeah, well...
Howie Mandel (2:44)
And then I, and then also from the the lingering is that I have a guy who slips into my DMs every so often, or Triple H, who I didn't know, that's come from your show.
Ethan Klein (2:57)
Talk about Hunger FF?
Howie Mandel (2:58)
Yeah, or whatever that is.
Ethan Klein (2:59)
You still in touch with Hunger?
Howie Mandel (3:01)
He, I don't really reply, but hey, it's Hunger here. And I go, this is like the remnants of a one night stand with you. Yeah, you know, we, we, we can now. What are you going to do to my life?
Ethan Klein (3:13)
We're going to give you another STD, proverbial STD.
SPEAKER_7 (3:16)
OK, go ahead.
Ethan Klein (3:16)
Yeah.
Howie Mandel (3:17)
What do you want to know about the hand?
SPEAKER_7 (3:18)
All right.
Ethan Klein (3:18)
So first of all, you went you went quite viral for your hand job story. Now, I'm going to preface this by saying Howie that I watched that and I thought it was very funny. And I know that while you do probably go to massage parlors, that joke was probably a joke.
