Well, I love the echo, and it's a big, echoey chamber we're in. Well, sort of, yeah. Hey, I'm Jad Abumra. - I'm Robert Krollich. - This is Radio Lab. - The podcast. - And we're coming to you on the podcast, not from our usual space, which is the studio in New York now, we're in LA, and we're sitting on a stage. - It's Royce Hall on the campus of UCLA. We're on tour, so we have a show, a live show that we do. - We can't get back to do our podcast in the normal way, so we're going to do it right here on stage. - Yeah. - We're here. We wanted to actually just talk a little bit about what's going to be happening next week. Next week, we have this awesome show, which we call Color, because that's what it's about. It's about the nature, and the peculiarities, and the anecdotals, and the everything of Color. - That's right. We're going to explore all kinds of things about the different colors, red, blue, green, yellows, and all the shades in between. But we're going to play cool stuff right now, because here's the cool thing about this show. One of the experiments we're doing for this Color's podcast is we are working with a ton of really talented musicians who are going to be playing a lot of color-themed songs. Tons of great musicians are going to be on this hour, including Reggie Watts. You may remember him from a Curious Sounds concert. We aired a couple months ago. Amazing dude. Does this whole, like, acapella looping situation, just him, a mic, and a little box? While we've actually been here on tour, he was back in New York City, and so we missed each other. - Can you guys hear me? - But we call him up on our cell phones. - There we go. - Okay, and we all hear each other? - Yes, I can hear each other. - I can. - I can hear each other. - So, I guess you're going to do the Kermit song, right? - Yeah, I'm going to attempt to, yeah, I'll use those words of it. - So, Reggie, what does it mean to be green to you? - Well, eco-friendly environment is very important to me, and the planet really needs help. - No, I guess being green, I don't know. I guess being green is like, it's about being different, so I guess it isn't easy being green. It's not easy being yourself. - I'm sorry we can't be there to witness his lives in person. - I'm pretty relatively angry, but it's okay. - All right, well, thanks Reggie. They're calling for us to go on stay there. - Yeah, we got to run back on there. - Fine, go do shows. Okay, well, good luck. We can't wait to hear it. - All right, guys. - Thank you. - Bye. - That was Rick Santoram and Gerf Garkin talking about some of the classic elements of WNYC right here. We'll be right back. You rolling it? Okay. - Ready, you're not. Okay, here we go. Ciao! [Music] [Music] It's nice, easy, it's nice, so easy, it's nice, it's harder than you've ever seen.
