Production
In December 1999, Carlin discussed the boxset with Scott Simon ofSimon and Carlin then went on to discuss the final disc in the set: ''Free Complimentary Extra Bonus Disc Not for Sale Anywhere!''Scott Simon: To listen to these CDs is to understand what changed in you, the process that you went through. George Carlin: Well, that would exclude any further growth. Uh, there has been considerable further growth since 1977.
Carlin: There is a twentieth cut that isn't listed. The nineteenth cut is the last one listed. And down in number twenty—and this happened because of a mistake in indexing when we made this box set—these are tapes I made when I was twelve years old in little booths. Simon: I'm embarrassed to say I didn't listen to it because I thought it was over at nineteen. Carlin: And you would be right and I don't know how I'm going to explain this to the consumer... administration or whoever they are. Simon: Well take a second now. Carlin: Well what happened is before tape recorders were common, you would go to a booth in an amusement park or something and put a quarter in and for a minute you could record your voice. It used to say "Record your voice, send a letter to your loved one in the service" or something and I used to go in there and do my little routines, my childhood routines. Imitating newsmen, imitating sports announcers, imitating commercials on radio and TV. So when I was twelve years old, I made about eight of these and we've included them in the box set.
