Subjects[edit]
Topics of conversation include Streeb-Greebling's experiments on eels, his role in the racial violence during the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King trial, his military career, including his time in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, and his habit of strangling his business partners. The listener learns that Streeb-Greebling was put in prison by his father at the age of four, once spent a 'year and a quarter' standing on Lake Ontario with only bears for company, and hears of his next project: cloning from the fossilised remains of the infant Christ with the assistance of BMW, Honda and Sony.
Interview style[edit]
When questioned on how structured the interviews were, Morris replied that the pair had agreed to 'just shoot from the hip' and that 'the preparation that existed, existed only in terms of the things we had already done', with each of the characters being familiar roles. Morris described the recording:
It was a very different style of improvisation from what I'd been used to, because those On the Hour and The Day Today things were about trying to establish a character within a situation, and Peter Cook was really doing 'knight's move' and 'double knight's move' thinking to construct jokes or ridiculous scenes flipping back on themselves, and then proceeded to skip about mentally with the agility of a grasshopper. Really quite extraordinary.[1]
Reception[edit]
Reviewing the CD release in 1999, The Guardian wrote 'this flimsy collection of five short interviews [..] leaves you wondering why you did bother'.[2]
On an episode of With Great Pleasure, John Finnemore cited Why Bother? as one of his favorite pieces of comedy, citing a moment in the track 'Bears' in which Cook attempts to move on from a subject and Morris prompts him to improvise further.
