Intro & Chuck's LaFontaine Impression
At 2:14 · chapter starts 2:07
Josh welcomes listeners to Short Stuff, introducing co-host Chuck and producer Jerry sitting in for Dave. Before a single biographical fact is dropped, Chuck delivers his Don LaFontaine impression — a booming 'In a world where two doofuses podcast' — as a playful, affectionate tribute to the man the episode is celebrating. It immediately establishes the tone: this isn't a dry biography, it's a genuine salute to someone both hosts clearly admire. Chuck acknowledges it's his imitation and frames LaFontaine as the movie trailer guy known as 'the voice of God.'
Chuck opens with his own 'In a world where two doofuses podcast' LaFontaine impression, instantly framing the episode as a tribute to the man who made that phrase legendary. It's a pitch-perfect way to honour someone by doing the one thing they're known for.
Don LaFontaine recorded more than 5,000 film trailers and 750,000 television spots across his career. That output reframes him from 'the guy who says In a world' into something closer to the sonic infrastructure of American pop culture.
