Kenny Hotz and Jeff Kassel in the new SiriusXM studio

Kenny Hotz is a breaker of records in (among other things) octopus wearing, semen producing, bible peddling, and gas passing. Post Kenny vs. Spenny, he’s been covering new–equally gross– ground. There was Testees, a short-lived comedy about human test subjects, Kenny Hotz’s Triumph of the Will, a reality series in which Kenny wanders a Nevada desert naked, tries to get his mother laid, and enlists a Jewish community to help him build a mosque. And now, for the first time in his career, he’s doing radio–with Testees actor, Jeff Kassel. Hotzcast, will debut this month on Sirius XM’s Laugh Attack (XM channel 160), live on Tuesdays at 5 PM ET. Kenny and Jeff will be covering politics and popular culture, with the occasional guest (including, he hopes, Martin Short some day.) Here’s Kenny Hotz on life without Spencer, Hebrew school, the NHL lockout, and his new “no mandate” radio show.

Q: Hi Kenny, how are you?

A: Surprisingly well. Still relevant, thank God. How are you? How is everyone at Maclean’s?

Q: Everyone’s fine, I think. We’re all in cubicles, so I can’t see anyone right now.

A: Yeah that’s good. You don’t wanna see those people.

Q: Tell me about your new radio show.

A: It’s funny because I’m not really a radio guy and my fans have been bugging me for years, telling me to do a podcast, but podcasts are stale and they’re dying now. But I’ve always been a really big fan of radio and I grew up with it. I’m 45 and the early part of my life I spent with headphones on in my basement listening to radio.

Q: What kind of radio?

A: Brave New Waves, 102.1, a lot of CKLN,  you know, Ryerson. And then when I moved to Los Angeles I lived in a garage for five years, and it was Howard Stern every morning.

Q: Have you ever met Howard Stern?

A: No, but I heard he liked the show [Kenny Vs. Spenny].
