Ira provides his own voice in "Honey, I'm Homeland" when members of an Occupy group kidnap Stan after he tries to infiltrate their group in "Honey, I'm Homeland". To brainwash him, they play This American Life for him while in captivity in which Ira talks about a dog and his owner, who also happens to be a dog. Stan objects to Ira's pauses between lines, questioning why they are necessary if he already has them written down in front of him. When Stan has been fully brainwashed and is released, he continues to listen to Ira as he touts the benefits of paying for radio.
