Apparently not having learned from his previous experience with journalism (see (ADDLINK) "Bystander Ben"), Ben goes to a broadcasting school audition. He's pretty excited about it, leaving a broadcaster-type message on the office machine and talking to Laura about how he wants to be one of the wacky news guys on the radio in the morning. ("How about that Europe? Are they crazy over there, or what?") His ultimate aim is to be the soccer announcer who yells, "Gooooooooooaaaal!" He discusses some possible "hooks" with Katz, like Cronkite's "That's the way it is" and Rather's "Good night and good news." Ben's suggestion: "Good night, and seriously, get some sleep." Turns out the broadcasting school is a scam, evidenced by the fact that Ben was the only auditioner without a major speech impediment, and that they told him to talk into the broomstick. Meanwhile, Katz talks with Julie and Stan about childhood show-biz fantasies (Stan wanted to be a ringmaster), and Katz details his trip to a low-budget freak show: "They didn't have Siamese twins, but they had two guys with a joint checking account."

• Bill Braudis: Had his wisdom teeth out (not all of them; just six); likes to cook -- "A guy can say he loves to cook, and it doesn't mean anything more than he's a homosexual"; went deep sea fishing and threw up, which made for good bait; didn't have a strict Jewish upbringing, mainly because he's Catholic; high school was tough ("I still owe homework"); car has been broken into 10 times; now it's just a Theft Training Mobile.
• Dom Irrera: Since he forgot his shoes last time, this time he's wearing 8-inch heels; he's paranoid, but "maybe you'd be a little paranoid if there was a world organization bent on your destruction"; wants to bring his cousin in for joint therapy; some guys always think they should be dating models, even if they (the guys) look like Mary Lou Retton's brothers (short and squatty, that is); wants to know why two straight guys can't get married, for tax purposes; spells "LOVE" with his body; tags Katz, making him "it."
