S. Planet: How do you feel that the 'Jerky Boys'
new CD, 'The Jerky Tapes', stacks up against the other 4 classics? |
| Kamal:
Well the last CD "The Jerky Tapes" is
all old material, Johnny recorded them 10 years ago and he's
playing it off like its all new but it ain't. That CD sucks
just like Johnny's mouth. |
| Dean
S. Planet: I know that you don't have anything
to do with it, but why in the hell are there only 9 calls
on the CD? |
| Kamal:
Johnny Brennan has no talent, been saying it for
years, what comes off original really isn't, he just imitates
what his father actually says, John Waters movies, and cartoons.
Johnny Brennan is a plagiarist. |
| Dean
S. Planet: According to laugh.com
when you released your solo debut 'Once a Jerk, Always a Jerk'
it marked a split with Johnny Brennan and the end of the Jerky
Boys. Is this true? Say it ain't so… |
 Kamal:
Yea, I quit the jerky boys 2-3 years ago.
Dean
S. Planet: Which of your characters is your favorite
to prank with?
Kamal: Kissel!!
Dean
S. Planet: Where did you get the ideas for Kissel
and Tarbash?
Kamal: Tarbas:. I'm of East Indian background, so that
voice is easy for me to do. Kissel was based on an old drunken
neighbor by the name of Alexander Buchinski; he always swore
he was related to Charles Bronson.
Dean
S. Planet: This is a wacky question, but I have
been wondering about this for years… Is the woman in the Wild
Bird Feed call the same as the one in the Sol's Nude Beach
call? |
| Kamal:
Dunno, never heard of the bird feed call, but I
doubt it was the same person. |
| Dean
S. Planet: What method do you use when making a
call? Do you write down some sort of script or do you have
no idea what you are going to say? |
| Kamal:
Right off the cuff, no scripts. |
| Dean
S. Planet: Who decided what calls made it on the
Jerky Boys CDs? |
| Kamal:
We used to have listening parties. They would rate
'em and the winners made the CD. |
| Dean
S. Planet: Which of your 4 CDs is your favorite? |
| Kamal:
Jerky Boys 1, which I consider to be as one of
the greatest comedy albums of all time. |
|
| Dean
S. Planet: What are some of your favorite calls
on your CDs? |
| Kamal:
Any Tarbash one, any Kissel one. Actually I like
'em all. |
| Dean
S. Planet: What recording equipment do you use? |
| Kamal:
Who cares?!! |
| Dean
S. Planet: Were you guys always together during
the calls, or would you do some separately? |
| Kamal:
I quit 3 years ago so fuck off with that question. |
| Dean
S. Planet: When are you guys going to update your
web site? I have been trying to buy a t-shirt for a year. |
 Kamal:
I quit that chicken shit out 3 years ago, so again
fuck off with that question.
Dean S. Planet: It's a
well known fact that the Jerky Boys are the greatest prank/phony
phone
callers of all time. Are there any pranksters that you think
are cool that you enjoy listening to?
Kamal: No.
Dean S. Planet: Have you
ever gotten into any legal problems from your work with the
Jerky Boys?
Kamal: We got sued a couple
of times. |
| Dean
S. Planet: Did you have to get permission from
all the people you called to be able to out them on your CDs?
If so, how do they normally react when you tell them that
they are going to be on a Jerky Boys CD? |
| Kamal:
Yes we have to get permission, and they react wonderfully. |
| Dean
S. Planet: Is 'Brett Weir' a guy that you actually
know or is he some guy you pulled out of the honebook? |
| Kamal:
Brett Weir is John Brennan's brother in law, ugly
bastard too. |
| Dean
S. Planet: What other Jerky Boy characters based
on real people? |
| Kamal:
Why don't you ask Johnny that instead of bugging
me about that knucklehead?!! |
| Dean
S. Planet: I noticed that you are a part of wackpackgreetings.com.
What the hell is it? |
| Kamal:
I wasn't aware of it! Actually it's a great site
to get a personal call from me so check it out and buy one
now! |
| Dean
S. Planet: What is your opinion on Howard Stern? |
| Kamal:
I don't think he likes me. Howard has always been
kinda weirded out by us. |
| Dean
S. Planet: What comedians do you think are over-rated? |
| Kamal:
I hate Margaret Cho, Eddie Izzard is not funny,
but a good actor. I don't like Ellen Degeneres. Ray Romano
is not funny..I don't get him. |
| Dean
S. Planet: What comedians do you think are under-rated? |
| Kamal:
Artie Lang who by the way has hair that looks like it should
be on an armpit. |
| Dean
S. Planet: If you could say one thing to your old
partner Johnny Brennan what would you say? |
| Kamal:
Fuck off! |
| Dean
S. Planet: Well thanks Kamal, I am a huge fan!! |
