Part Two
Part Two
Can you believe it?
That's right, it's Comet de Bang Bang
Best of 2022
We're putting the Part Two in
2022
Scott, a lot of people said that after Part One
We would just call it a day
We wouldn't have the nerve to show our faces again
That's true
But here we are
Here we are showing our podcast faces
We're a bitch, we're a bitch, and the bitch is back
Showing our faces for podcasting
Yeah, get over it
Get over it, we have ugly faces, who cares?
Sorry, we're ugly
We're uggos
Yeah, ugly people can be successful
Yeah, deal with it
Maybe we will too
One of these days
Welcome, welcome, welcome
to Best of Comedy Bang Bang
2022 Part Two
My name is Scott Ackerman and I am joined
As ever
Since the early days of Comedy Bang Bang
With my compadre
My compatriot
Paul F. Tompkins is here
Hi, Scott, do you consider me
One of those
Here since the beginning
People?
I think so, yeah
You said that about Jason Manzucas earlier
I was like, I wonder if Scott thinks I've been here since the beginning
I think you probably predated Jason
I think anyone who was on
Delicious
For those of you who are recent listeners
This show started in a radio station
Can you believe it?
I think anyone
And that was a year, the first year
I think anyone who was on it that first year
Who came into the radio station
I consider that to be from the beginning
That's the beginning
Yes, anyone who was on after that
Fucking newbies
Lauren Lapkus, who's been doing it
I found the other day, I think ten years
I still think of her as new
Still think of her as one of the newbies
I hope she'll be able to do some episodes again soon
I know, I mean obviously
Having her baby
What a wonderful say
Has kept her, what?
No, forget it
What did you say?
What did you want to say and what did you say?
I wanted to say, what a wonderful way to say
What a wonderful say to say
That's right
To say it away
And I've ruined it
I'm sorry, Paul
And now it's like, who am I?
I want one, but I don't deserve it
Well, let me find someone to give you one
Yeah, find somebody who's worse than me
The weird earwulf that can give Paul a hug
You know what? Can I say, speaking of hugs
And this is how I got here
Yep
I follow an Instagram account called
Ahinda Woo
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,680
And it's this woman in South Korea
I don't exactly know what she does for a living
She might be famous, I don't know
She could be Instagram influence
Maybe, but she has, the account is mainly
Her two little kids who are fucking
They're off the charts cute, right?
By the way, I saw Devin leave the control room
I think he's coming to give you a hug
No, he's still in there
Oh, okay
Their names are Ahin and Raiu
Her children
Oh, that was Kimmy
She's here too, I don't know what you're talking about
No, she just resisted, I saw her leaving
No, she's been here the whole time, clearly
Wait, is she here right now?
Yeah, it's just giving her the freedom
So these kids are very adorable
And last night
And so, shout out to
Brothi Gupta, a hilarious comedy writer
She and I are big fans of babies
We will share Instagram
You hate them when they get how old?
I think four is the cutoff
Yeah, four and up, fuck that
Get out of my face
So we share posts of cute babies with each other
On a daily basis
And we're both big fans of this account
Last night
I had a dream that I was babysitting
The younger baby, Raiu
Wow
And it was a fucking great dream
Like in the dream, I was like
Oh my god, it's Raiu from Instagram
And he was just as delightful in person
Now, did you have to do all the shitty things about babysitting?
In my dream? No, my dream was just friends
He was giggling, I was making him laugh, it was great
Yeah, when you babysit for me
It's not going to be like that
Oh, well, I got news for you
It will be
Oh, okay
You're not going to feed her
No, no, no, take care of all that before I get there
Okay
Make sure she's got all the shit and piss out
All the throw-ups
Is here at Circumstance where you
You would feel okay
You babysitting?
When he babysitting
No
Absolutely not
Never
I would be, I'd be so scared
I'd be so scared
No, I think you'd be great at it
I just, I can't imagine you wanting to do it
That's why I don't think I would ever think of you
I mean, when a baby is a lump, it's easy
It's easier
You know what I mean?
Maybe
Well, because there's like, they just like sleep
Or they cry
Yeah
And you're dealing with those things
No, the first two weeks I found to be very overwhelming
And I didn't realize those were the easy weeks
We babysat once, Jenny and I, four friends of hers
And essentially, they had a
God, how old was the older one?
He was like
18
Four or five, something like that
He was four feet five?
Yeah
Wow
Yeah, he was probably
And he was 18 years old
18 years old, yeah
And I was like, dude, I gotta tell you, this is as tall as you get
Sorry
And they had a newborn
And the newborn, they were just going to go out
They just wanted to go out and have dinner
They just wanted to go out
That's all they wanted to do
To Mexico
For a few days
Never come back
And so now we have these two kids
But so the baby just slept
The more challenging thing was
I'm realizing something
Go ahead
Your baby's awake
No, I'm looking at that guy
Oh, yes, of course
We'll do that at the end
And the more challenging thing was
The older child who
We had to like keep entertained
And interact with
In a way that it's like
Oh, this is a true glimpse into parenting
Where a little kid
A little kid is bugging you
Just talks about shit that you don't care about
And you have to be invested in
But somehow you do care about it
If they're your own kid
But if you're babysitting
You care about it more, yeah
It may be more
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe like one percent more
But it's the
It was the repetition of things
Oh, my goodness
So I was like asking the same question
Over and over again
Having to
Sounds like
Watch me do this thing
Too true, mole friend
Too true
Mole friend
Say why
We are doing the best of comedy bang bang
And hopefully you've heard episode one
What's going on on your watch
Sometimes my watch is like
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said
And I'm like, I'm not fucking talking to you
Bitch
Stop eavesdropping on me
Although it has to in order to
Because what's the word that triggered it
But I don't have Siri set up on the watch
I don't have like a hey Siri thing
You know what I mean?
That hasn't triggered mine either
Good, I don't think I have it set up either
I would never use it
I'm not sure I understand
Yeah, you know why you don't understand?
Because I wasn't fucking talking to you
You know what you don't understand
Is how to mind your own fucking business
Tell you what, dildo
Don't jump into a conversation late
Dildo
Calling your watch a dildo
Calling your dildo a what?
That was like, I feel like when I was in
In senior high school
That was a big burn
To call somebody a dildo
It's not a bad insult because it's not
I don't think it's offensive to any
Group of people
No, it's not, but it's also like
But it implies that someone who
Uses a dildo is to be shamed
Exactly
Dildos are fun
But it implies you are a dildo
You're like the kind of thing that gives people
Pleasure
Thank you
Thank you
I suppose
This is the best of 2022
Hopefully you've heard part one
Which came out on Monday
This is part two
On this episode
We are going to be counting down your

Paul, are you excited?
Scott, I have never been this
Excited in my life
You're bouncing off the walls
I can barely contain myself
Incredible
I'm biting my own hand
So that I don't go nuts
Paul, you
You hoped to be in at least one episode
You were in three the last episode
Dang
Yeah, pretty good
We'll see how you do
For the rest of the countdown
But
Are you ready to do it?
We're going to be hearing clips from these
Great comedy bang bang episodes
Again, if you have
If this for some weird reasons
Is the first episode you're ever hearing
We are
Best of part two
Best of part there
Yeah
But the format of the show is
I'm the host
My name's Scott Augerman
And we have great comedians
Like Paul
I'm the guest
My name's Paula Tompkins
We have great comedians
Like Paul F. Tompkins
And we have great fake people
A.K.A. characters
And we're going to be hearing clips
From these episodes
And talking about the
Behind the scenes aspects of them
So let's do it
Paul, if you're ready
Let us get into the very first clip
Of this part two episode
This is your choice for episode
Number 12
I'm not ready
Number one, two
Alright, you did say
If I'm ready
And then you just
We just played the clip
Sorry
I wasn't ready
Sorry
Now I have the bends
Oh, no
Yes, Raptors of the Deep
Alright, Paul
This is
Episode 735
Okay
Okay, so we're in the
Still in the early
Approaching mid-700s
Yeah
Yeah, we are
Yeah
Yeah
This is from November 29, 2021
And this is the
earliest episode eligible
This is right after Thanksgiving
Yes, this is the week after
Thanksgiving of 2021
This is the first episode
Eligible
The previous best of
We heard the final episode
Eligible
Interesting
Interesting, isn't it?
Is it?
I'm not sure
Yeah
This is an episode
Entitled
The Calvin's Triplets
Versus the Baxter Triplets
Oh, boy
Oh, boy
This is going to be silly
That's true
Okay, so let's talk about
The Calvin's Triplets
Yeah
The Calvin's Triplets
Started as the Calvin's twins
And this must be
Eight, nine years or so ago
Must be
Taryn Killam from
And Paul Britton
Who were on Saturday Night Live
At the time
Or maybe Paul had left already
I'm not sure
And Taryn was still on it
I think Paul had left already
Paul had left already
Yes
But they're both
They both met on Saturday Night Live
Taryn was going to do the show
And said, hey, can I do it with Paul?
I love Paul
And I think I had never met Paul before
I'm not sure
But they both came in
And the way that episode worked is
They had not planned anything out
And they looked at each other
And said, what do you want to do?
And Taryn said, I had an idea
For maybe like
Horse trainers
And Paul said, okay, let's do it
And that was all
And it turned into a classic app
Called the Calvin's Twins
Absolutely
Really, really funny episode where
And all of it was just
Come up within the moment by those guys
Where they run a farm
Where they have horse fighting bouts
Yes, horse boxing
Horse boxing, yes
The horses box each other to the death
And we've done several more episodes
Since then where the lore of this
Expanded where they also
I believe it's a honey bee farm
They also
Yeah
They also make
Paul, by the way, is doing
Setting up something
On the other side of the room
And is forcing me to talk
But that's good
Because I have a lot of information
And grabbing the mic occasionally
But they
Oh, they make bee taffy
That's right, they make taffy
And October is their taffy-making season
When they binge every episode
Of The Walking Dead
And then make all the taffy
So we've done several episodes with them
And then at one point
Taryn and Paul said, hey, what if Ryan Gall
Who's another really funny comedian
And improviser that they knew
And that I knew
Who was on a show called
Bajillion Dollar Properties with Paul
He's one of the regulars with Paul
That was number one on the call sheet
You were number one
And he was probably seven or so
I think so
They said, hey, can he come on
And do the show with us
And so he played a long-lost twin of theirs
Or a long-lost brother
And it turned into the triplets
So the Calvin's triplets
They've done several episodes with us
And they're always really funny
And on the previous episode to this
We mentioned the Baxter triplets
Now the Baxter triplets were three women triplets
Who were their arch nemeses
And we just mentioned them
And I said, oh, we got to talk to them
On a future episode
I thought that we were going to bring in
Three other people to do it
But they decided to play them all themselves as well
So...
Keeping that glass ceiling firmly in place
So you're going to hear Taryn, Paul, and Ryan
Playing two characters a piece on these clips
And one thing to note is in the first act
Which we're not going to hear
We totally forgot the name of the triplets
And so we took a guess as...
Of the Baxter triplets
Yeah, we took a guess as to what they were
And we were wrong
And we looked it up in the break
And found out we were wrong
So they changed names on this clip
That's what we're going to hear
This is your choice for episode number 12
Number one, two
But I guess what I mean to ask you about is
In the news these days
A lot of people, and I believe a fellow podcaster
Was amongst them
Have been taking a certain cure or remedy
Some people call it quackery
Or snake oil
We just call it science
It's been our livelihood
You're talking, Scarlet, about Ivermectin
And yes, that's how you say it
Ivermectin, yeah
A lot of people have been taking that
Which is a horse dewormer
And there have been shortages out there
In the world from what I hear
Because so many people want to take it
In order to cure their COVID
That's right, not helpful
If you've got thousands of horses
You've got to deworm on your ranch
Downtown Tampa
And they all have worms, your horses
Is that part of the business?
It's inevitable
Everybody got worms, stop it
You could pull worms out of you right now
If we wanted to
How would you do it?
Like, in how many steps?
I mean, to three steps
Okay, what are the steps?
Reach and grab and pull
Okay, just reach, grab and pull
Anywhere on my body
Reach, grab, anywhere you can
I got the chopsticks in my kit
We could do it
So what has been going on
At the bee honey horse fight fields then?
Are there just worms everywhere now?
Damn straight
Worms has made its tremors
Down the fields
As big as the tremors
That the worms and tremors made?
You've got that right
You've got that right
Wow
Watching the horse out there in the field
And all of a sudden from below
You'll see a little dirt path
And all of a sudden
That horse gets sucked down
Right on down
God, how horrible
I mean, have you incorporated it
Into the actual fights
Or anything like that
We're trying to get them to fight
But they don't pay attention
Like a horse does
That's the thing about it
That's the thing about a giant tremor worm
You know, if it's one in a million horses
That's a fighter
Yeah, we've tried everything
It's way more zeros on the end for worms
Stubborn as a worm
That's the old saying
Oh, okay, right
I've heard that as well
Stubborn as a worm
We've tried to hire the father
From family ties to come
Michael Gross
Michael Gross
Great Michael Gross
Well, you know him
Just as his name on the show
Yeah, Mr. Keating
Yeah, exactly
Keating, right?
Keating, yeah
Yeah, Mr. Keating
No, Keating
No haji
Keating
No ji at all
No ji
No heart, no soft
Keating
Mr. Keating didn't
That's right
So you tried to hire him
And he turned it down flat
Or what?
He has not responded
Oh, okay
He's great
Underrated
Michael Gross
What a talent
Yale drama
Did they start that big
Or have they just gotten
I mean, is that what happens
If you don't have the ivermectin?
Well, that's the science behind ivermectin
Oh
He said it
Is that it maintains the size
It maintains a manageable size
Of microbiotic worms
To not expand over a quick period of time
In the super tremor worms
I see, so when they call it a dewormer
That's actually a misnomer
It actually is just keeping them
To be the same size
Yeah, a worm shrinker
You could call it a worm shrinker
A worm shrinker
So these giant worms are here
And what happens when you cut a worm in half
Doesn't it just makes two worms, right?
I mean
And I'll take credit for that
I started, I was cutting those worms in half
All over the place
Not helpful
And I thought, ah, get them all
Get them all
And now there's
They're stopping
Stop chopping
There's gotta be over what?
It just doubles me
It just doubles me
Exactly, twice
No, exponentially
Cause when you cut
Yeah, cause I'd cut them
I'd cut them
Two or two
They'd grow
I'd cut them again
There's well over a trillion
And those are just growing by themselves
Yeah, well they're eating
I mean, they eat the honey
They eat the taffy
They've been eating the taffy
Oh no
The leftover taffy
That we had leftover after October
So how was taffy season
And with all these worms there?
It wasn't great
Nope
They can't pay for it
They don't got money
They got nothing
That's maybe my only frustration with worms
They don't got money
It's their lack of financial stability
You would think they would like
Open a bank or something
I mean, listen
But these concepts seem very difficult for them to grab
Listen, if you got a trillion worms
Each of them got one dollar
You do the math, Scotland
It sounds to me like
The non-palantromic one trillion dollars
Yeah
That's right
Although I guess the palantromic
Of that would be one trillion and one dollars
Yeah
That's it
So you just chop one more worm
Okay
Be careful not to chop it again
No, no, no, no, no
Bizz-bizz, stop chopping
Bizz-bizz got so chop happy
And he was chop happy for the better part
You were chop happy?
Yeah, chop happy
I did
I've heard of that happening to people
Okay, I lost
I saw chop
For days, for weeks
I saw chop
You saw chop, you say?
I saw chop
I went choppin' their head
I saw chop everywhere
I was choppin' everything
But so now the Decker triplets
Who
Boo
They've changed their name to
Boo
They've changed their name to the Baxter triplets
Oh, man
They rebranded their pig wrestling
Carmel farms
Oh, that's what they would have
Pig fights there?
No, pig wrestling
It's pig wrestling in Carmel Country Mark
The Baxter
Formally known as
But they just put the FKA
Oh, okay, yeah
Like twigs
Exactly
Exactly like twigs
I think they've stole it from twigs
Oh, okay
So Baxter FKA
FKA Decker triplets
Pig wrestling
And Carmel's Country Mark
Country, what was that last word they said?
Ma
How do you spell that?
Ma
No, spell, not say
A
Sure
A
A
Okay
A
Okay
Okay, enough of the A's
Just cut to whatever's next
He got ten stanzas
We don't have time
Ma T
Oh, Mart
Oh, okay
Thank you
It's like you're French
You're taking off the T
Ma
You got to hang in there
Okay, I'm sorry
You were laughing at it
Something that just
Bores my chops
I beg your pardon
The Baxter FKA Decker
Pig wrestling
And Carmel Country Mark
That's been next door
And just recap a little bit of what's
I guess we briefly mentioned them
And of course we remember
That their name was Decker
And we briefly mentioned them
On the last episode that you guys did
They're your nemesis
They're the whores of the devil
Oh
So the devil
So they're not like the spawn of the devil
Or anything, they're just whores
They're just whores
Even worse
Worse than the spawn
The whores of the devil
What they've done to us
In our business
Okay, what do they do?
I mean, how long have you known them?
They encroached on our territory
As you can imagine
There's a finite number of people
Who are enthusiasts of
Animal grappling
Style sports
Sure, yeah
What is that number?
In the central Florida area
Because you guys are open every day
That's right
And we're spread thin enough
With our two locations
One Florida, one California
That was the Florida one doing, by the way
It's not great
It's not great
Why did you open it again?
Well, when we merged
Oh, that's right
With Biz-Biz
Damn, we merged with Biz-Biz
We wouldn't make more sense
Just to shut his down
And then have you go over to this one
Yeah, you tried negotiating with them
Exactly
And the plan was originally
To just slowly plot after plot
By the land between the two
And have the world's only and longest
Horse fighting, bee hunting
And taffy fighting, fighting fields
So just 3,000 miles wide
Yeah, San Luis Obispo to Tampa pretty much
But very thin
Very thin
But it adds up
Still impressive, square footage wise
But what these witches have gone and done, Scarlet
They came to us and they said
Oh, we think you should franchise
And we said, what's that?
And they said, we will pay you
To use your name to open it
We said, no woman's gonna tell us our business
And they were not happy about that
They didn't like hearing that
Within months, Scarlet
Since we last talked, within months
They bought a thin ring of land
Completely around both of our horse hang farm
No!
It's 5 feet wide
It's 5 feet wide
Like the shape of a horse anus
Right around us
Well, this is terrible
So the Baxter FKA Decker triplets
Have just taken a sledgehammer
To your business and unlike, you know
Peter Gabriel taking sledgehammer
To the top of the charts
Right
This has just handicapped your business
It won't be our testimony
It'll be our destructimony
Exactly
But I would imagine
Couldn't you somehow harness the power of the worms
And maybe have them storm?
We've been trying
That was all planned with Michael Gross
He turned us down flat
As I recall in those Tremors movies
He killed worms
He didn't actually like ever...
Are you telling me?
So let me get this straight
If you're a worm and Michael Gross shows up
And you know that he's famous for killing you
You're not gonna listen to what he says?
Okay, I get you
Maybe that should have been the next Tremors movies
Him training them because they're so afraid of him
Yeah, how has that not been one of them yet?
And he turns them against the U.S. government
Because the only conversation we actually had with Michael
Before he just ghosted us
There was a screenplay
Called Tremor Down Now
Where they...
Was Serio Terry part of this?
She's a co-writer
Co-writer, associate producer
So unfair the way that women are treated
In show business
Not cool
But yeah, Tremor Down Now
Where Michael Gross's character from Tremors
Harnesses the power of worms
Okay
It was more like a sports movie
Like a chariot of fire
It was chariot of fire set in the world of Tremors
Oh, so wait, so he then takes those worms and races with them?
The worm Olympics
The worm Olympics
They win every category of the Olympics
Okay, so they're pole vaulting
Everything
Everything, wow, of the worm Olympics
No, of the human Olympics
Oh, okay
Every version
So the first act is them going to the World Olympics
That's sort of the moral of it
Is that, you know what, at the end of the day
Humans and worms, we ate that different
Other than the money part of it
And being chopped
You don't want to chop a human
Sure, because you...
Boy, wouldn't that be great if someone chopped you in half
And you just became another person?
Listen, Scotty
I already got two brothers
I don't need another Calvin's boy
Running around the fighting fields
Can you imagine the Calvin's
Sex couplets?
Yeah
Well, I wonder what that'd be like
Welcome to the Calvin's Sex couplets
B, honey, taffy, horse fighting fields
I'm Beverly Hopox
And I'm Beverly Hopox
Calm down now, Beverly
Chico, tell them what they're in for today
Yeah, tell them, other Chico
Will you stop?
Were you talking to me?
Were you talking to the other Chico when you said to stop?
Were you talking to your clone?
I'm talking to the Chico that I knew before to chop
That sounds like me
Everybody got to quiet down over there
You're getting me all riled up
Let them do what they want
Come on
Oh, biz-biz
Oh, no, oh, no
Oh, no, biz-biz fighting biz-biz
Oh, they've locked horse necks
They've locked horse necks
Oh, no
The horse anus is synced up
Oh, thank god, he got that last line in
as we were fading out
So the horse anus is synced up?
That's my takeaway from this
There was a suction cup
Oh, the suction cup
Power of the anus
They became sort of like a...
Yeah, I remember the animated Nicktoon cat dog
I do not
I sure don't
That is not what we're talking about
Well, that would be horrible
We don't want that to happen
So, yeah
Thank god
Oh, my gosh
So the Baxter FKA Decker triplets
Is there any chance that we could
maybe talk to them about this?
Maybe kind of try to iron out some sort of a thing?
I mean...
We could give them a call
We could give them a call, right?
I guess
Scotland, if you agree to be the mitigator
renovator, terminator
arbitrator, then...
Yes
Okay, good
I agree
I agree to be at least two of those things
We can eat crow
And we will try to reset
Okay
Our dynamic with these Baxter FKA Decker
Well, come on
That's a bad way to stop it
That's a bad way to start
Yeah, let me call them up on this
Here we go
Calling the Baxter FKA Dexter triplets
at their pig wrestling
in Caramo Country Mart
It's ringing
and hopefully they'll pick up
and this won't be another
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Sorry
I got a boog in my throat
This is the BFKD PWCCM

Oh, free advertising
Oh, yes
It's you
Okay, sure
Are your sisters there, Tanya and Candy?
Oh, yes
We're both here in the front office
You're both here
They're both here
Oh, they're both here
They're both here
And both have me now
And you're French?
I'm from the other place
The other place?
Oh, okay, good
Are you selling him?
You want to give me the chance?
Yeah
He said he'd do the podcast and he said about our...
Just talk about his famous
He talked about the big wrestling in caramelized
Oh, la la
Is he famous, man?
Scott, may I ask you a question?
Please, yes
Is you're famous?
Uh, podcast famous
It's podcast famous
Yeah
Have you heard of Conan O'Brien?
Comedy bang bang
Conan O'Brien
It's Conan?
You're Conan O'Brien?
No, but we're colleagues
No, he's called him
He's what?
He's called him
I can't hear you
I have the machine on
Pick up the other one
Pick up the Bonnie Bologna
What machine do you have?
Hello
Hi, hi
What machine do you have on?
Which one are you, by the way?
The triple blender
Oh, the triple blender
Oh, sorry
Which sister are you?
Are you Candy?
I'm Candid
You're Candid
Oh, Candid
Oh, okay
I misheard the people who said your name
It's Candid
Who said my name?
Uh, oh, we'll get to that in a second
But I want to make sure that Tanya is also on
Is your sister Tanya here?
What?
Tanya
What is he saying?
Pick up the facts phone
Get under the facts phone
Hello, this is Tanya
Hi, Tanya
This, uh, hi
So I have all three of you
Great, Scott Aquaman
Oh, Scott Aquaman
From Comedy Bang Bang
Mr. Shaw
Mr. Shaw
Scott Aquaman
Yes
You didn't know
I thought you said you missed my show
Oh, that was
I didn't know what this means
That was a common misconception when that show came
Mr. Shaw
Yeah, Mr. Shaw, yeah
Okay, talk to a crazy person, but please buy some caramel
Are you crazy?
I'm not crazy
No, no, I'm not crazy
You're like two steps behind it
All times, it seems like
I have the machine on
Okay, turn off the triple blender, please
Uh, guys, uh, and when I say guys
I just mean you, the triplets
Uh, the women
The women that I'm talking to
Gals, yes, of course
Please say specifically gals
In case it gets confused
Should you be in the room with anybody else?
I am in the room
It's so coincidental that you said that
I am in the room with three gentlemen
Right now
Oh, you excited by that
If they like caramel or pig wrestling
Yes, lala
I don't, you know, I don't know
If they like either of those things
That has never come up in our conversations
But what has come up in our conversations
Is the fact that they are neighbors to you
That's right, I have
I turned off the machine
Oh, okay, thank you
Thank you, Candid
God, you can't
Candid really needs to get on the same page with you
Yeah
Gals
Um, but I have, I have three guys with me
I have, uh, your neighbors
Bever, Chico and Bisbee
That's right, I have the Calvin's triplets here
Oh, God
Yeah
Guys, say hello to the gals
They are on the phone
Are we on speakerphone?
Now you have the triple blender on
Can you please turn it off?
Turn it off
Oh, I misheard you
I was like, I missed your show
And I was like, I got confused
And I said, time to blend the taffy
And I turned it on
Okay, sorry about that, Sky
No, no, we're still in the middle of the show
I missed it
Okay, we're doing it right now
I'll say hello
I'll say hello to anybody who deserves it
Oh, okay, well then
So if you don't mind, I'll pass on saying hello
Bisbee
Oh, that's not the way to start
Hello, Queer, hello, Tanya, hello, Candid
Hello
Hello, it's good to hear you
Is there a single case there in your little island?
Where are you laughing like that?
What she said wasn't all that funny
Sorry, I did find that funny in the horse
There, that's a horse laugh there
That's a horse laugh
He got a horse's Adam's apple
Put in as well
Effectively
Number one, two
Okay
Okay
Good clip
Good clip
This, of course
Great oldies
Leads to all sorts of high drinks on the phone
With the three guys playing two parts a piece
We just are scratching the surface on this
Really funny episode all the way through
Taryn and Paul moving expertly back and forth
Between voices
And Ryan
Sounds like somebody wasn't able to
Ryan's struggling to remember how to do his own voice
He totally forgot how to do his Bisbee voice
And just was like, just started the episode
And he said the first thing and we, it wasn't his voice
That he normally doesn't really, what's wrong with you
So he had to say he was sick
What's wrong with you?
By the way, we mentioned the worms
That Obi-Wan Kenobi loves so much in that clip
He mentioned the worms
So Obi-Wan actually probably would love
Because they're giant worms
Sure
Over there at the horse fighting range
Absolutely
He would love it over there
He would love the movie Dune
He would love the movie Dune
He knew anything about pop culture
Yeah, and he doesn't
Great clip, I love those guys
They all three came over together to my house
The other night
Because
Like unexpectedly?
No, we had planned it
But because the books, the comedy bang bang books
Which are coming out in April of 2023
I got thousands and thousands of them sent to me
And I signed all of them
And I thought it would be really fun
If various people in the show signed different ones
And so all three of the Calvin's triplets came over
And signed a big batch along with me
And you don't know who you're going to get?
You don't know who you're going to get
How many did I sign?
You signed thousands
With five boxes
You signed half of the ones I did
Yeah
Okay
Yeah, you signed five boxes, I did ten
Wow
Yeah, so you did a whole bunch of them
We talked about it on three of them
Yes
I believe
And it's really fun
So if you bought a signed edition
It'll be me as well as some
At least one other person
It's going to be fun
It's going to be fun to see who you get
Okay
Let's take a break
When we come back
We will be...
We're not going to crack the top ten yet
But I'll tell you what
We're going to crack the top eleven
I mean, that's not nothing
That's nothing
That's not nothing
Yeah, so let's do it
We'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this
When I think about people
Yeah
Who are out there saying
Oh, they're not cracking the top ten yet
How many numbers have you cracked?
Yeah
Do you know what I mean?
I know exactly what you...
I mean, I bet you've cracked some nuts
Oh
Oh
Yeah
Yeah
Because you're a nutcracker that came to life
Exactly
And you belong on the Isle of Misfit Toys
And you belong on the Isle of Misfit Toys
Yeah
How about that?
That portrayal of Santa Claus
Who's like
I'm banishing you
Yeah
Weird guy
That's weird enough, you shouldn't be
None of you should be alive
Instead of putting you out of your misery
Yeah
By shooting you in the head
Like the Yellowstone style
First scene of Yellowstone
I feel like Rankin & Bass did not
Really consider all of the ramifications
Of the Isle of Misfit Toys
Yeah
Where it's like, they're not there because
You know, this train has square wheels
It's because you can fucking talk
Exactly
You can't be giving presents to children that are alive
And we...
And also, but what's weird about it is
It humanizes them to hear them talk
You know how if you're ever kidnapped
You should be, you know, talking
Yeah
And talking about your loved ones
I like the Star Wars trilogies
I like my favorite color is green
Anyway, Rankin & Bass
Work smarter
Not harder
Yeah
I don't even know if they're working that hard
By the way, I saw that
Speaking of stop motion animation
Saw that Pinocchio
Pinocchio is supposed to be great
It's beautiful
Right here
And not for kids
Yeah
No kids allowed
Well, speaking of not for kids
Why don't we crack the top 11?
Yeah
We're gonna do it
This is your choice for episode number 11
Number 1
1
Alright, Paul
This is episode 767
Oh, so this is in the mid
To late, 700s
Say the early mid
Oh, this is the early mid
700s
Yeah, that's what I would do
Definitely
I said what?
Definitely mid
You dildo
Alright, this is an episode called
From July 25, 2022
Weird title
There was a comma before I said call
Oh, I apologize
Called Fordham
Fordham
Fordham
Fordham
Oh, I know this one
I bet you do, Paul, because you were there
This has
Paul F. Tompkins, Lauren Lapkus
Hey
And Mary Holland
Hey
So this is an episode
Let's talk about the backstory of it a little bit
Yeah
So this was an episode where
We heard the episode with Tatiana Maslani earlier
This was the episode she was supposed to be on
And she canceled right before the show
That's right
Remember how we said she was so nice?
She's not
She's not nice
No, a person who would cancel a show
Right before she does it
Yeah, not nice
This is our job
You know what I mean?
You said you were going to do this
You went back on your word
You're a liar
I call that not nice
Yeah
Anyway, so she canceled
Approximately a half hour before the show
She canceled with extreme prejudice
To her credit, she rescheduled
But all of us were
She's the best
We're all set to do the show
And so we said, you know what?
We're going to do it anyway
Yeah
And in the A block
Where we usually talk to a celebrity
We are going to
It's going to be
You, Paul, myself, and Lauren Lapkus
Because we have a different show called
You, Paul, of course, is my drag character
And also your You, Paul, parody
It works as both
It's weird to
I mean, most parodies are songs
But you have a
Trucking line
A business trucking line
And the thing is, is that all the trucks are in drag
And they drag things as well, so
Exactly
You get it
You, Paul, get it
Yes
So we said, okay, you know what?
We hosted another show called
Freedom Together
Which is there are no characters on
It's just the three of us friends talking
Me, Scott, and Lauren
We said, let's be the celebrities
At the top when we're going to talk about
Freedom at the top
Yes, so we'll be ourselves
Promoting a podcast
So we did that at the top
Is there anything more pathetic?
Promoting a podcast
And then Mary came on playing
A reporter who was just hit by a car
Which I think was something that had just happened
On live TV
But none of us had seen the clip
And we didn't know what she was doing
And then Lauren comes on
This is where we're starting
Lauren comes on playing a parody of someone
She saw on Instagram, I think
And we didn't know who that was either
So we're going to hear that clip
And then we're going to hear another clip
Where Paul F. comes on
Is someone we have heard about previously
On these best ofs
Let's just hear the clip
This is your episode, number 11
Alright, we have to get to our next guest
They have a special skill
Never been on the show before
Please welcome Carmine DeLonge
I'm so excited to be here
Hey, Carmine
Hi, Carmine
Hi, Carmine
Great to meet you
Great to meet you
This is Paul F. Tompkins
Paul, nice to meet you
We've actually met before
Have we really?
Really, forgive me
I've also met you before
And I've also met you before
I remember exactly
I'm sorry, I don't remember
I don't remember
That's so weird
I mean, we've never even met
Just because you never met
It doesn't mean I never met
I'm a different man
You are a different man
That's so true
Carlo, was it?
Carmine
Carmine, I forget
I've been watching The Bear
I switched it around
You can remember this
By picturing your own car
And going, ah, Carmine
Thank you
That's a handy
It actually is
A little bit
His name is Carmine
I'll never forget
And when did we meet before?
Forgive me
We met it was 1998
You were wearing a blue suit
You had blue shoes
You had a blue hat
You had a coin coming out of your mouth
I remember this day
You were carrying a notebook
And it was Thursday, July 17th
Oh my God
Holy shit
How do you remember?
Okay, when did we meet?
It was 1994
It was a rainy
That was a long time ago
Four years before we met
You were scared
You were ducking behind a car
I said I could help you
You said, not if I help you first
You stood up and it was actually a prank
Where you were actually turning prank people
You were wearing a black shirt
A black pants
A black shoes
And a black hat
I remember this prank
No Quark Hop pipe?
I couldn't afford one back then
It was 1994
He did not have a Quark Hop pipe
It was before his big successes
Where he would be able to afford all the Quark Hop pipes
I've never watched every single one of them
By the way, I've been watching all of his successes
I'm very happy for you
Thank you so much
So nice
Carmine, when did you meet Heaney?
Carmine
Heaney Heaney
Heaney Heaney
That's my big name
That's my big name
Wow
Heaney Heaney
Heaney Heaney
We met in high school
I was your teacher
I was a man then
When I was your teacher
And I
You were a sweet little girl
You always had your hand pink tails
And you wore a pink shirt
Pink pants, pink shoes
And a pink hat
That's true
All of us have matched on these days
Yes
Oh, my God
It was Wednesday, October 9
But the whole year
That was the day before I got hit by that quark
I taught one day
I got fired
The college one?
No, no, no
In elementary school
Or in high school
That was the day before I got hit by the quark
Oh
I wouldn't know because I left the school
Because I was fired
Because I had to go do other jobs
So you were fired?
I was fired because I had to go do other jobs
You were fired because you had to go do other jobs
But do you see I remember
So distinctly
And you tell me you don't remember me at all
I mean, I remember the day that I said
I'm gonna try a monochromatic outfit
Yeah
And I never felt fully secure
Even with my pipe
Which I was like smoking furiously
I remember doing those pranks
But I never actually met the people
That I did the pranks on
But you did meet me
But you just didn't remember
I was probably so distracted
Because I was self-conscious
That I didn't remember meeting anyone
Do you have Mary Lou Henner disease?
Is that
I wouldn't call it a disease
It's called a gift
Okay, so you remember
Do you have Mary Lou Henner gift?
Excuse me
Do you have Mary Lou Henner gift?
I have
I gave Mary Lou Henner gift
I gave her
I gave her an umbrella that has
That turns its head out
So it catches the rain to give her
Later more of the plants
Oh, that's nice
I gave her a pair of socks with my picture
On them to be funny
That was a little prank one
I gave her a big set of pencils
That were all huge
Ooh, wow
And that was not a prank
That was because you always lost your pencils
So a big set of huge pencils
Yeah
And I gave her a new doorknob
Because when I went to her house
I pulled the doorknob right off
Wow
Four gifts
So that wasn't really a gift
So much as a replacement
I'm curious about the umbrella
About where you saved the rain for later
Yes, it's from Mocha
So it's turned inside out
So it's kind of like you're holding
Like a birdbath kind of above your head
You look very dumb when you hold it
But it would get heavy, right?
It gets very heavy
Depending on how much rain there is
Well, because you stand outside
And you go dump it in your plants
It'll help about it
If you want to save it for the bath
Even though it's raining
If you see that West Virginia
It rains in West Virginia
I'll tell you right now
It rains here, too
It rains in West Virginia
It's part of the local weather
Well, actually, no
It has rained more than ever this year
Than ever in West Virginia
It's been raining nonstop
Every single day in June
And oh
How did you know that?
You know facts about places you aren't even in
I know the farmer's almanac
Packers and Fords
I have a photograph of memory
Tell it to us backwards, please
Backwards is right now today
Today it is 85%
Wow, it is today
Oh, my God, it's scary
Come on
But it knows what happens in the future
But it tells you what happens today
It knows what...
Wow
It can predict generally
Given those facts
Right, when eclipses
Are going to be, et cetera
Oh, no way
I never knew how to use the almanac
Because I would look up words
If I was trying to think of a word
If I was trying to think of a word
That's that
You're trying to think of a word right now
We can say that
That's like nas
And what's another word
That's like means nas
But isn't that word
This is the sort
I was looking up in the almanac
I can tell you all about
Kind, sweet
Oh, my God
Loving
Nice
Nice
Friendly
Open
Nice
Giving
Kind
Nice
Friendly
Listen
Open
Listen
Eh
Nice
An audio book
To
Learn
More vocabulary
Wow
That's impressive
That's impressive
That's really good
I'll admit I was doubting it at first
But that blew me away
Mr. Doubt a lot
Mr. Doubtfire
Your tits are on fire
Hello
Didn't you see a drive-by fruiting on your way in here?
I did see a drive-by fruiting
No, it was a drive-by hit with her
Oh, that's what it was
Oh, that's what it was
Yeah, I got it as a hit and run
Can we test you on things that have happened in the past?
Is that okay?
That's my favorite activity
Many game shows and many news shows
Okay
I've been on Jeopardy!
Jeopardy!
All right
What was the third one?
Jeopardy!
September 23rd, 1985
Oh, okay
Yep, it was a big day
What happened?
Well, so it was snowing
It was
What day of the week was it, first of all?
Wednesday and it was snowing
Oh, great
And it was very, very cold
Everywhere
And it was cold
Everywhere?
Wow
And it was...
That's what the Alma Max said
But what happened to me that day?
I met three interesting people
Tell us about all three of them
Or at least two of them
Where they was
I'll start with one
He was a butcher
He had on a hat white
And he had...
Let me guess the color of the rest of his clothes
White?
Well, what are you?
A guessing guy?
You're the person who actually...
White shirt
White apron
White pants
White shoes
White gloves
That's bold for a butcher
White gloves
But he was splattered in blood
But I met him and he said
Please meet ya
And I'll never forget him
And then...
He was pretty anodyne
Of an interaction
I guess the spatter with blood part
That's what makes my skills so interesting
I was walking down the street
And I went to the bakery
And I got myself croissant
And I was talking to the baker
And his name was the baker
And he had on
Let me tell you
His last name was baker?
Or...
He had his hair in a ponytail
And he had on a blue shirt
Blue pants, blue shoes
Blue...
Oh
Blue apron
Blue apron
Blue apron
Blue apron
Blue apron
He started a company
This is an ad for blue apron
This is the longest ad we've ever done
And if you want to use my code for blue apron
Don't forget
It's this code now
Always remember
That's the code
And I met him
And he was so...
He was so affable
And I'll never forget that about him
He was snowing so bad
So affable
Yeah, yeah
And then...
Who's the third person you met?
I met a candlestick maker
He was making me a little candlestick
Out of a wax bug
And he was just playing
A wax bug?
A wax bug?
A wax bug
And he was just...
He was rolling, rolling, rolling
Get your candles rolling
And he sang
And I'll never forget how he sang it
So beautifully
And right on tune
And he had a perfect pitch
And he had...
And here's what he was wearing
He had on a striped hat
Striped glasses
Striped shirt
Striped glasses
What color were the straps?
Striped shirt
Striped scarf
Paid striped shoes
Striped socks
The stripes were red and white
Red and white
Like he worked at Toy City or something
Were the lenses of his glasses also striped?
Just the frames
Okay
The lenses were black
Oh, my God
Like he was wearing sunglasses?
No
Like he was blind
But he wasn't
Because he looked me right
And I said, I love how you look
So that you could tell
Both physically and from what he said
Wow
What an interesting day
I know
Can you believe it?
Did you go right to bed from there?
Then I went home and I fucked my wife
Okay
Wait
How old of a man are you?
How?
Backside
How old of a man am I?
Yeah
My age is
One plus two plus three
Don't count every year
We gotta speak this up
Wait, year were you born?
Can I ask you that?
You must remember that
You can't ask me that
Do you remember the day you were born?
Do you remember that far back?
Yes, I do
Oh, no
Tell us about that
My birthday is May 1
The year is
1948
1948
You look terrific
You really did
I got a lot of Botox
You're in the 60
Oh, why?
Do you remember that?
Why do I get it?
Because I have wrinkles
Are you that vain?
I mean, you're like an ugly guy
Scott
Stop
You should sing with my wrinkles
That's rude
I'm gonna say it like you ain't no
That's like when I was a movie star
I remember thinking John Kerry was very unattractive
And then he got a bunch of Botox
I was like, wow, look at this
Who's this hunk?
So I looked better, better, better, better, better
Yeah, what was your question?
The day I was born, well, I was inside the
As you all know, when you're born
You're inside the vagina
And I was inside the vagina
Just in there
And I was going, I think I want to get out
And it was hot
And the weather was muggy
And I got out
The weather inside or the weather?
The weather inside is muggy
I got outside
It's so
Deluggy
Wax buggy
I always thought the word was deluggy
That's the one thing I ever forgot
Wow, this is a big day
Don't write this down
So you remember you forgot
Nobody write this down
I know I never forgot anything before this
I would have remembered that
So you were inside
And then did you see the light?
Did you like start crawling towards the light?
I started going
Squish my head down, down, down, down, down
And then my mom was screaming
Get the fuck out
And I went
Hop
Goes the weasel
And I came out with a parachute
A parachute
I sang that song
I was the placenta
And I sang
Hop goes the weasel
And you had a placental parachute
And I landed on the ground
Really?
Yeah, what?
You don't believe me?
Ask my mom
Is she still alive?
No
See, you can't even fix it
If you want it to
When did she die?
Tell us about that day
What day was it?
Two days ago
I remember it
Two days ago
How old was she?
99
Okay, so she had you in her 30s
It was late for the time
For the time, sure
But are you the first or the last
Of a big family?

Or the everything
16th child?
Yes

Jarls?
Yeah, it's me, Jarls
Classic Jarls?
Classic Jarls
Oh my god, Jarls, how are you?
I'm good, it's good to see you, man
Are you still trapped here in the
Your old studios?
Do you know me?
Y'all know me
Y'all know me
Still the same old G
I met this guy
I met this guy once before
You're mine

We had a memorable
We were wearing the same outfit
Yes
Grey pants
Grey shirt
Grey hat

Grey shoes
Grey shoes
Grey shoes
And a horse
A grey woolen

Milk in the end of the go
I don't think I mean
Make a milk bubble
Make a milk bubble
We screamed
On Saturday night live
We became hits on friends
On Saturday night live

Lord Michaels was wearing
A purple hat
A purple scarf

So I don't remember this episode
Who was hosting that you guys
Actually did the cold open
Prince

Prince was hosting and musical guys
And we said
Move over short stuff
Wait, do you see this?
And we blew milk bubbles out of
A corn cup pipe
People freaking went crazy for the stuff
Of course I would remember that
We got a 45 minute standing ovation
After this
We got an apple bottom jeans
Roots with the fur
With the pearls
The whole club was looking at
Hurl
Oh, did that a bow
Oh
Did that a bow
Low, low, low, low, low
She could still dance
She could still dance
You know Haney Dillf?
Yeah, I used to watch
West Virginia news
On my pirate radio
On television
You recognize me?
Of course I do
Oh my god
If you don't know
Haney Jarls has been trapped
In the Ear Wolf Studios
For now five years or so
Oh no
That reference by the way
Since you've been trapped
Is no longer
We don't like that anymore
Um
What's your biggest fear
When you're here
When the lights go out
That there's creatures
Is there a ghost?
I knew there's ghosts
I'm not scared of ghosts
Fuck them
I'm scared of creatures
Do you think we're ghost pinches?
Yeah, pinch
Pinch me right here
Actually pinch me right here
Ew
It's all wet
Pinch me right here
On our nipples?
Yeah, pinch me right here
Hey, come on
What?
No, just do it
Come on
We're not gonna twist your nipples
Just do it if you wanna know
If I'm a ghost or not
You don't have to twist
It's just pinch
Yeah, pinch them
I didn't say anything about this
It's a good little pole car
Number one
One
There we go
Classic Jarls
A full segment
Full segment
Never happened before
Classic Jarls had never had
Because Jarls
Jarls longest he's spoken
So Jarls, talk about Jarls
We've talked about him on previous best ups
But he started as
What?
He was born on the DVD commentaries
For a comedy bang bang
And then
Jarls was a character
That I would do
Specifically
To crash the show
If I was here
Back when
Back when there would be like
A million shows here
Yeah, four shows happening
At the same time
Three at least
And so I'd do another podcast
And then I would see you guys
Were in the studio
And so I would come in
And just be
This guy Jarls
Hey
Hey
You'd open the door
What's going on Scott
And Jarls of course
Has a very tiny windpipe
He's very devout
And that's why he sounds that way
He's a fencing instructor
He's a fencing instructor
Those are his three things
And so it would just be me
I would come in
Do that for like a couple seconds
And then leave
Yeah
And it was fun
It was fun
And
We decided to talk to him
And we just
We just scratched the surface with it
We heard about three minutes of Jarls
But
Some really funny stuff
That's a good episode
We have
And Mary was playing Haney Dilf
She's
The best at coming up with great
Character names
She has great names
And that was the only episode
Lauren did this
This year
I know
She just doesn't have
A ton of time
That's true
Unfortunately
Because she has so many
Podcast duties
And so many terrible movies to watch
I empathize
I thought you were going to say
Terrible movies to be in
No
She's been in
Some good movies
The between difference movies
And nothing else
Now she's been working a ton
And she has a baby
Going out of town
Yeah
So she would
I keep pitching her episodes to do
And she's like
I wish I could
But I
Like I pitched her one the other day
And she was like
I wish I could
But I'm here with Holly
And I have a closet being put in
She's putting a closet in her daughter
And I think that's weird
It's so straight
Like you basically like
It's one of those where you just press a button
And it unlatches her full stomach
Look
We all need more space
I get it
But not in babies
Don't put a closet in a baby
First of all, she's going to keep growing
Yes
And hopefully your closet will
Hopefully
But this is experimental surgery
Alright, we're going to take a break
We're on the cusp of cracking the top ten, Paul
That's got to be exciting
We're on the sea of sea, the TT
Let's take a break
When we come back
We'll have more best of comedy bang bang
2022 after this
Bum bum bum bum bum
So it might mean just singing
Away in a manger
Away in a manger
Now crab for a bed
The little bar
Jesus laid down his sweet head
Hey, welcome back
It is almost Christmas
Christmas in three days
Do you know the song New Kid in Town
by George Straight?
Isn't there a New Kid in Town that's like
Everybody's talking about the New Kid in town
Maybe that is
Oh, no
That's a different song
Oh, okay
That's a different song
What's the George Straight one?
The George Straight one
There's a New Kid in Town
Here in Bethlehem
Oh, jeez
And it's like
Hey, someone was born
I think it's from the point of view of
like the wise men or something
and they're saying like
Hey
Hey, somebody
Anybody's seen a savior out here
We're updating the census
And there's this guy who's like
Uh, yeah
A baby got born a couple
Blocks away
Blocks away in this barn
I mean, he's in a manger
He's in a manger
Some kid
Wow
Why do we have to talk about this guy?
It's like, yes, the story of Christmas
and Jesus' birth has been well told
But now, like, you know
80th on the call sheet is getting his own song
Exactly
Here's an angle nobody's explored
What if somebody didn't know who he was?
What if someone gave someone directions to him?
That's a song?
I'm gonna look up the lyrics
Okay, but please keep the show going
By the way, George Straight
It's trying a little hard
You know what I mean?
It's like, okay, man
We get it
Hey, nobody was asking
Calm down
Um, we are
Counting down the top
17 episodes of Comedy Bang Bang
2022
So many episodes we had to do
Top 17 this year
So many good episodes
And, um, did you find him?
I did
It is exactly what I thought it was
Uh, we're looking for the king
The new Messiah
We're following the star shining brighter
Old man, won't you help us if you can?
Old man
He shook his head, but he pointed at his hand
By the way, life expectancy is being what they were
He was probably 30
By the way, old men in songs
If you're going by this
And you're going by the weight
They're not helpful
No
All they do is shake their heads no
He pointed at his hand
There's a new kid in town
He's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby, I suppose
Heaven knows there's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
I see you've traveled far, bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for the new king's pleasure
I heard that a king might come, but
Up to now there hasn't been one
So he
So he's like
I've heard this is going to happen
Yeah
And I've been waiting for it
And I'm religious because I mentioned heaven
But I don't give a shit if this is him
I don't know
But anyway
If you're looking for a baby
There is one that just got born down the road
Wow
So
Terrible song
Hey, but if he turns out to be the baby
The like the
The Messiah
The Messiah?
Please come back and let me know
I mean, well, they ghost him
They just forget about it
He's like, well, I guess it wasn't the case
Also, I mean
So these three kings knew
Right, the three wise men
They're like
Are they kings or wise men?
You know what I mean?
Because some people say they're kings
We three kings
Yeah, but then there's
We call them the three wise men
But just because they're kings, they're wise
Come on
Or are they wise kings
Which is allowed
Yeah
But I'll drop this wise king
So
It's a puddle of myrrh
So they know
Puddle of myrrh is my favorite band
Oh, they're great
The 2000s
They're great
The puddle of mud cover band
Where they make them all Christmas songs
If I can think of one puddle of mud song
Oh, if only
I would give you an example
But here's the
They just cover the songs
And they add jingle bells
That's all they do
Okay, so these guys
These astrologers
They're like
Okay, this star says
This baby's gonna be born
On this date and this place
Let's go there
Bring him a bunch of gifts
And then
Nobody believed them, I guess
Because then
Jesus, it's not until
He's like in his 30s
When people finally go like
You know what?
I bet you are
Yeah
And it's only 12 guys
And what are these
What are these wise men doing
While he's being crucified, by the way
Why don't they pop up as character witnesses
Fucking guys
I don't know
The whole thing doesn't make sense
The whole thing doesn't make sense
You know what I was thinking about
The other day
I was singing Jingle Bells
Batman Smells
Yeah
More Christmas songs should have
Batman in them
Well, but it's very pejorative
You know what I mean?
Like, they're being
It's mean
It's mean, but I mean
Why, you're dragging him into Christmas
He could be rehabilitated
In other songs
Okay
Name any Christmas song
Away in a manger
The one we were just singing
Yeah
You said any
Alright
Okay, well, wait
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Okay, God rest ye merry
Batman
I mean easy right there
That's just easy pickin'
Okay, then what else?
Talk about how he smells
God rest ye merry
Batman
This guy really smells
Now we will listen
To a song named Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Batman Smells
Batman Smells
Batman
Badmobile lost its wheel
Joker got away
Hey
Good stuff
Also making light of a
The homicidal mania he's escaped
Yeah
He wasn't homicidal in those early comics though
No, he's just a goofball
They were all just goofballs
And now they're like
Well, he started it
The Riddler's like snapping somebody's neck
Wait, where's the riddle?
Knock-knock, who's there?
Me snapping your neck?
You hitting the floor
One has a snapped neck
When it's standing in front of me
The answer, you
Fun riddle
I remember getting that in fortune cookie one time
Well, Paul
We were gonna
Whop-paw
Whop-paw
Hey, he just got a new girlfriend
Whop-paw
Well
We were gonna crack the top ten
But instead
We're gonna take a little detour
And we're gonna play a
B-b-b-b-bonus
Clip
Really?
Yes
You know why
No
17 wasn't enough
Scott, this is
Precedented
That's true
On the best ofs
We used to play bonus clips a lot
And we haven't in a few years
They've been jam-packed
But this year
We had a little contest
For people who
Bought the Comedy Bang Bang Book
I don't know about this
The Comedy Bang Bang Book
Is coming out in April
And so we opened up a contest
If you could prove that you bought the book
If you had the receipt or whatever
You could enter the contest
If you have the receipts
That's right
And these people had the receipts
You could enter the contest
And pick
An episode that you would like to be featured
In the best ofs
And I would read what
They wanted to say about the episode
Mmm
And so our winner
Was Eli Schwab
From Woodland Hills, California
Picked in a random drawing
Hi, Eli
Hi, Eli
And he picked
As his episode
That he wanted to highlight
He picked episode number
700
November?
Number
763
From June 27
So this is in the
Mid-Mid-700s
Yeah, definitely
Yeah
And this is an episode called
Star-Toon Cartoon
Mmm
Familiar?
Familiar
Yes, I remember now
Yes, you are in it
Yes
Yes
This has
Some interesting people
It is the show where we talk to
Interesting people
It was
That's true
Now it is Humanities Podcast
And the Animal Kingdoms
But this has
These are the people involved
Jack Quaid
From
Amazon's The Boys
Um
Paul F. Tompkins
Hi
And Tony Newsom
Yes
All three people who are on
A little animated show called
Star Trek Lower
Dex
Correct
And um
I play a Birdman
You do
And this was an episode
Not
Birdman
Or
The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
I watched his new
Or I turned on his new film
I should say
I turned on Bardo the other day
Got three
Three scenes in and I said
Gotta go
I was shimmy
Gotta go, bye
You had to pull shimmy
I pulled a shimmy, huh
Bardo
Um
So let's hear what Eli says about it
Eli says
This ep was a warp speed laugh riot
That could
That's not even the great bird
Of the galaxy himself could have imagined
Do you know who that is?
That is a Star Trek reference
I don't know what it is
But I know it is
That was an affectionate nickname
For Jean Roddenbury
The creator of Star Trek
Oh, okay
So this is a Star Trek fan
Great bird of the galaxy
Uh, Jack PFT and Tawny
A.K.A. Boimler
Uh, Migley Moe
Is that how you pronounce your name?
That's correct
And the Amazing Mariner
Are perfect guests
I know they all left
And some freakin'
Insane characters came out
But damn, man
Brock Lovett
Tirna
And the most amazing thing
The ghost of Mack Rebonac
A.K.A. Dr. John
Came back to assure us
That we were in the right place
And it was the right time, baby
What a very professional-sounding review
Yes
He went on and said some other stuff
That I'm not going to read
Like about January 6
It was just the beginning
Yeah
But I'm ending it there
But let's hear some clips
From this episode
This is a really fun one
Absolutely
He said everyone that is involved
So let's just hear it
This is your
B-b-b-bonus
Clip
I'm so mad I missed the beginning
He's an underwater deep-sea diver
I believe
Do you dive or do you just travel around in them?
Maybe not, really?
Do you just go into the like sphere
Kind of thing?
What do you call that?
The Undo-sphere?
Yeah, the Undo-sphere
It depends what the specific job is
But yeah, sometimes I get out in the water
By myself
But most times I'm in the Undo-sphere
So you're scooting around in the Undo-sphere
Usually
I don't call it scooting around
Does that have like those carnival game
Pick-up arms
Where you can pick up the treasure?
You know
Carnival game pickup arms
You know the kind where it's like
You're directing with a joystick
I know what you mean
But I want you to explain it more
But does it have two of those
And opposable thumbs in the rest
So that you can pick up treasure
On the bottom of the ocean
I mean
I don't really need opposable thumbs on them
It's not like he's going to open a beer or something
Could you open a beer in the Undo-sphere?
Yeah
Okay
You're just never going to
I mean, it's not wise
That would be so cool to like find a beer
You know like a beer that the Titanic
You know just
Sure
You know with some
You've got to mention the Titanic
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Oh boy
But to use both of those two arms
And crack open the beer
Just be like
Of course we've done that
It's fun
I'm not going to lie
But you were lying earlier
You were like
You never cracked open a beer
In the Undo-sphere
In the Undo-sphere
With the Undo-sphere
Sure
With it
No
I take my job very seriously
This is like what the definition of is
Is
I allow myself to have a big cigar
At the end of a big underwater treasure hunt
If I am successful
If I'm not
I do not have that cigar
Really?
Okay
He also does sound a little like Bill Clinton
So that it wasn't completely
I'm sick of hearing that man
Sound like another Bill as well
I do not sound like Bill Clinton
Start putting your thumb up like that
He's from Arkansas
I'm from Texas man
Oh that's right
Let me introduce you
Please
He is a
He doodles around in the Undo-sphere
You made it worse
From scootin' to toodlin'
Come on man
But primarily he is
We know him as a treasure hunter
That's right
He's been on the show many times
Too many
You may know him as the guy who
Almost found the
Something
The Cordillamere
Cordillamere, yes
Ah yes, the Cordillamere
Cordillamere, the jewel of the ocean
The heart of the ocean
He almost found it
But an old lady threw it off the side of a boat
Please welcome back to the show
Brock, love it
Hello
She tricked me
Yeah
Never forget
I'm glad she's dead
She kept it underneath that
Frilly lace
Bodice that she was wearing
Frilly lace bodice
What am I trying to say
The neck
What are you trying to say
She kept that
She kept it around her neck, right
Yeah, it's a necklace
And she didn't
But no, I'm saying her dress
Her nightgown
Yeah, her nightgown
Was she wearing a nightgown?
I don't remember
It was a long time ago
Back in the 90s
Yeah, back in the 90s
It wasn't like memorizing what
You know, everyone was wearing
When I'm trying to find treasure
Wait, turn around
What am I wearing
I don't care
A barrel with straps
That reminds me of the joke
I sent into Reader's Digest
When I was young
Oh, man
About a man walking down the road
And he sees someone with a shirt he really likes
And he goes, hey, where'd you get that?
And the person says, JC Penney
And then he walks down the road a little further
He sees someone with pants he really likes
He goes, hey, where'd you get that?
And he says, JC Penney
Then he sees someone walking down the road
And he sees someone else with a barrel
And two straps
And he goes, what's going on with you?
And he goes, I'm JC Penney
Okay, let's walk through the problems
Sure
I loved it
What do you mean?
First of all, the delight on your face
That's a problem
Secondly, I mean, it's not clear
At first it makes you think, well, wait
If he's JC Penney, why is the company doing so poorly
When people are buying stuff from him
And then you're like, oh, no, no
He's just a guy named JC Penney
A guy named JC Penney
Now that I'm walking through it, it does have some issues
Yeah, the ones I mentioned
No, no, no, but I got one more
Which is like, did JC Penney only have one shirt
And one pair of pants to sell?
I guess so
And was he waiting around for someone to come and be like, hey
You're combining the two problems
What?
Into one problem
So, okay, the thing is
What this guy's trying to say, right?
This little kid, by the way
When you were a little kid, you wrote this down
I'm assuming
I didn't write the joke, by the way
I heard the joke and said I'll send it in
Or did I write it?
I can't remember, anyway
Wow
You stole the joke and you said, no, this is Reader's Digest
Reader's Digest would take all jokes that were old jokes
How dare you?
But you had to figure it out
It would take all jokes
It would take all jokes
Not my joke
Any joke
Any joke you've ever heard
Inside jokes with your family
Whatever
We'll take it
Once we print it before
Who cares
Rip out the page and send it back to us
I like to think that there are literal joke writers
Crafting jokes for Reader's Digest
I mean, those jokes got to come from somewhere
Like street jokes that people tell each other
Street jokes
Somebody has to invent that
You know that?
Yeah, true
I invented one when I was a kid
You invented a street joke?
Yes
Why isn't that one in?
It was long
In fact, my parents and I had a long discussion
About the JCPenney one
About would they print a brand name
In Reader's Digest
Really?
They were like, we might not get the rights
That's probably why they didn't do it
I just remembered that
Anyway, Brock, great to see you
Great to see you, I guess
Thanks for coming
Oh, yeah, no, but what are you here for?
What's going on with you, Brock?
Have you found any new treasure?
No
Oh, old treasure?
I haven't found...
I mean, most treasure is old treasure
Is that what you meant?
Did I find anything that became
Treasure in the last week?
Yeah
No
Usually it's like...
What's the newest treasure out there?
Oh, that's a good question
The newest treasure
Like microchips?
Yeah
Microchips are...
There's no microchip that's treasure yet
When will it be treasure?
Man, probably another hundred years
Okay
And I'm talking the earliest microchips
Oh, okay, got you
Like the ones from the...
70s or 80s or something
What do you call those?
The Texas Instruments
Yeah
Right
When's it...
Those are 50 years old
In 100 years, a Texas Instrument microchip
will be...
Microchip will be...
I can't fucking talk to that
Man, I think you're micro-tripping right now
I know, I can't goddamn talk to that
You're macro-tripping
I'm macro-tripping on a major level
I've been macro-dosing lately
Have you ever tried this?
Yeah, you take like a big amount of LSD
And then you just take it
Anyway, I'm a little down the dump
Yeah, what's going on?
No old treasure, no new treasure?
What's happening?
I don't know where, I can't find any treasure lately
Have you been going out into the water?
Yeah, of course I have
You know that's my whole thing
Yeah, because you like wet treasure
I only like treasure that's underwater
Under the sea
That's right
That's where it's hotter
Okay
I'm sorry to...
I feel like you're making light of my
I'm sorry
Sad feeling
You're very annoyed with Scott
Is there like some history here?
Well, he's an annoying guy
Is there history here?
I feel like if you listen to this show
You'll notice some people rightfully
Get very annoyed with him
I wish Cal saw him in the Northeer
And other people have, I don't know
A different training, I guess
And so they just treat all of his questions
Like they're real good questions
Yeah, I mean look
I was answering his questions earlier
Do I have good training?
I mean, I guess you do
I mean, he's trying to derail you at every turn
He's been to like publicity school
And he's, I'm sure
Yeah, I have been to publicity school
It's a four year program
Four years
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Four years, just wow
There's a whole class on
Were there any pranks pulled on the set
There's another one about
By the way, that is a question
Describe the show in three words
How do you balance working family?
Who's the biggest prankster on the boys?
Is it Carl Urban?
Exactly right, actually, yeah
Big time
Thank you
I like saying his name
I thought that was a country guy, Carl Urban
Carl, no, that's Keith Urban
That's Keith Urban
You don't think
Are they related?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm having a flashback right now
Everything's lining up
Wait, and isn't Keith Urban
Is he married to Nicole Kidman?
Is Carl Urban married to Natalie Kidman?
I've been working with Natalie Kidman
This whole time
Wait, why are they the same person now?
I don't know
I can't fucking talk today
He's trying to condense his whole show
Doubtfire with his trip
To his parents?
Yeah
Pretending he's married
Hey, did you know Mrs. Doubtfire was based on a book?
Yeah, I heard that recently
That blew my mind
Imagine reading that book
Then he has to run into the other room
And put on the makeup again
But he only does it half-assed
Full chapter on the drive-by fruiting
Breaking down the physics of it
Do you think like in the book
They're like, and the new husband
Who looks remarkably like Pierce Brosnan
It's a big pitch
Was he a husband?
I can't remember
I've never seen that movie
I think he was a boyfriend, was he not?
He was like, trying to horn in
Yeah, he was trying to horn in
He saw an opportunity
Hard
Did he?
Trying to horn in on this woman
Living her life
Yeah
Was it Sally Field?
Yeah
Who ends up with her at the end?
I can't believe they get back together
I've never seen
No, she's like, no, I love you, Mrs. Doubtfire
Oh, so
I'm in love with Mrs. Doubtfire
And they just bump nubs?
And they just bump nubs
Whoa
Are you saying that he would go so far
Into the character work
That he would do something with his genitals?
Yeah
He put on like a latex prosthetic
Or something to make it look like
I don't know, that's time consuming
It was crazy
The whole thing is time consuming
You don't think that what he did already
Is not time consuming?
That's what I'm saying
And then on top of that
You're going to make fake genitals?
All the details are probably in the book
On the off chance
Your ex-wife loves you
And loves you and wants to bump nubs
I just don't see you, gentlemen
Well, it's her first time on the show
Please welcome Tirna
Hi, Scott
Thank you so much
Hi, it's so great to meet you
I believe, thank you
The word that you're looking for is industry
Industry
Spectre?
No
Spectre?
James Bond
Did James Bond work in the spy spectre?
I'm not sure
I try not to watch things that are too scary
But what I noticed about you
Is that you hesitated over the word
Business
Industry
Because I think it's scepter
It's not
What am I trying to say then?
The business
This is legitimately concerning
Sector, sector
I said that already
But that's okay
I feel like
Sector
One of the things that I've learned
Sector
From being in this room
Tirna
Sometimes you don't have the words that you need
Well, I haven't had my words all day
It's very difficult to talk this much
For so many years
Without, you know, fucking up all the time
I get it
You might just start bleeding
Yeah, oh
You might?
Yeah, Tirna
I hope that's not great
Has that ever happened to you?
Oh, all the time
Nice to meet you
Oh, hi
I'm Jack Wade
We've met before
We have
And it was nice then and it's nice again now
Where did you meet Jack before?
Yeah, when did we meet?
I'm so sorry
We met in two swimming pools
What?
Next to each other
Oh, and we like met over the
Over the concrete?
Over the concrete?
Divider, yeah
It was made of bark, actually
It wasn't concrete because too many little kids
Hit their heads and lost their memories
You know, I think I actually do remember this
Because I thought it was strange that
I mean, there was two like equally sized pools
That were like right next to each other
With a separator
And I feel like, you know
Oh
There were so many people in both pools
It didn't seem
But it was a COVID and a non-COVID pool
It was a super spreader
So that you could get it if you wanted
I forgot about that super spreader event
That I was invited to
Oh, yeah, you ended up going to that?
Yeah, yeah, it's like
Come join us for our super spreader event
And I said, I had RSVPDS
And I guess so did Tiernan
Wait, I had a question
Please
I want to know more about these kids
That hit their heads and lost their memories
Oh, it was a big to-do
Like amnesia?
Talked about it
Yeah, she did too
Who were these kids?
Oh man
There were so many children
From all over the province
They all hit their heads
Lost their memories
And then swimming pools were outlawed
For 25 years
You said province
Is this in Canada?
This is in Canada
Are we in Canada?
Not currently
Boy, I fell asleep on the plane
I guess
Where did you think you were going?
I thought I was going home
And then right back around
I do go to the border often
That's where I get several types of tulips
You can't buy them all
Within your own country
Like fireworks
You know, when you go to Indiana
For fireworks
Because they don't sell them in your state
That's how I am with different types of flowers
When's the last time you got married?
Last time
Okay
What day is it today?
I'm worried that Tiernan
Is one of these kids who hit her head on the pool
I think so, but just
I think she sounds cool
Really?
Yeah
No, she sounds cool
She definitely does sound cool
Honestly, she looks cool
She makes her sense of style
Yeah, I mean, just everything about her
I sound and look itchy if you ask me
Because I am
I feel it and I know it
So there are a few things in life
That you know more than whether or not
You have an itch
That's true
That's true
If you have one, you're gonna figure it out
You'll figure it out fast
Unless you have leprosy, right?
Well, hey jealousy
That's how I feel
Whenever somebody has leprosy
And I wish I did as well
But you know, if wishes were horses
We'd all be cowboys
So we have to figure out a way
To be content within ourselves
And that's what I'm here to
Eventually talk about
Okay
Yeah, interesting Tiernan
Guys, she needs help
What?
I think she's on a roll
Not with being cool
She looks, she's so cool
Yeah, the sunglasses?
Damn
And when she took off the sunglasses
That made her even cooler
And then when she put the sunglasses on her head
I was like, it can't get cooler
But then she put them on her feet
And I was like, that's even cool
I thought it was gonna be done
It worked, it worked
It worked, she pulled it off
Anyway
Anyway
Well
Anyway, singing in the rain
The next person coming on the show
Uh oh
Yes, no we
Are you taking over?
Tiernan, please
It's best for, I think for your self-esteem
Say more, say more
If I do it
Yeah, so
You know this person from
Music
In New Orleans
Where they made music
But they died
But they're back
They died?
They died
Oh no, is this a ghost?
Yeah, and I'm scared of it
A good ghost?
But I'd love to meet
Dr. John
And such a knight
Hey
How's everybody going?
How's everybody going?
We've got fusion
Dr. John's favorite catchphrase
How's everybody going?
I love that Cajun lingo
How's everybody going?
He would say it at the beginning
Of every concert too
You go down to Bourbon Street
At like 12 o'clock
You hear a lot of how's it going
How y'all going?
Well, I even say I forgot
I can't talk today
How's it going?
I believe
How's it going?
How's it going?
Yeah
Hey, the ghost of Dr. John
What's going on?
So, ready to meet you
You passed away relatively recently
Yeah, relatively recently
You remember when?
You know, I don't remember
Because
Why would you compare?
I don't have a time when I was passing away
Because you don't remember the day of your own death
No, it just suddenly happens to you, right?
No, it's just like
Oh, oh, spaghettios
And you were out of here
You don't remember the day you died?
No, no
What's the last day you remember?
The last day I remember I was
I don't know, I was on a roof
And I just had like a nice
Benye in my hand
And I was going
Get out of my
Get off my property
To some kids that kind of
Crossed over the wall
I got a big wall on my property
And I said get out of here
And I had to get on the roof
Because they were so tall
And
That's the last thing I remember before
You know, I woke up in this astral plane
Oh my god, so you died
Somehow being on a roof
Yeah, and that's why I'm here today
Oh, that's why you're here today
Yeah, I mean, I got some
Unfinished business
I want to
Will this help you ascend
Into the homeland?
Yeah, into the homeland
Everybody's naked there
But nobody cares
So here's the deal
Walt Disney Corporation
Walt Disney Corporation
Told me I'd be out of the princess
Or the frog in Princess and the Frog
They've been up to a lot lately
Yeah
A lot of tricky business
Especially in Florida
Oh man
Don't even get me started
I am up to date on current events
I just can't remember the day that I died
Okay, you should just go check
I read the paper, the ghost paper
Every day
Oh yeah
Is that about ghosts?
Or just for ghosts?
It's about ghosts, but like
There's a little column in the back
That says, you know what?
In the model world, this happened
Like I know about like January 6th
Instead of obituaries, do they have births?
Yeah, they're like
This person was born today
They're gonna cause some shit
Eventually they'll get here
When ghosts get new agents and stuff?
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of breaking stories
About like, oh man
They got poached by UTA
Sometimes they just say
Someone's been offered a role
Which is wild to be like
Yeah, it hasn't even been accepted
They've been offered the role
Do you think that's to shame them
Into accepting it?
Yeah, like they're like
Oh shoot, the ghost paper reported
And I gotta do it
Yeah
Were you ghosts all upset
When that movie Casper came out?
Oh, pissed off
Yeah, in the sixth sense
Even though you were alive
When that came out
I was not currently dead
When Casper was out
Were you mad though?
I was mad when I became a ghost
I was like, wait a second
This is a fence
That was the first thing you thought of
When you became a ghost
Yeah, when I died
I did not remember
What happened to me on that roof
And then I said to myself
Casper was a little bit rough
Yeah
Didn't age well
And then I was dead
Were you upset that it didn't age well?
It didn't age well for ghosts
I mean, obviously at the time
Everyone loved it
But then with the benefit of hindsight
You look back and you're like
Wait a minute
You couldn't make it today
This is a family movie about a dead child
It would be real
Bonus
Clip
Alright, that was a really fun bonus clip
During that we found out
That Tirna, played by Tawny Newsom
Was a malignant, apparently
Because she had come in shimmy style
A malignant
She had come in shimmy style earlier
As someone who loves talking about music
Because we were talking about music
And when we stopped talking about music
She left
And then she became
She was Tirna
You heard Tirna be a very confused individual
We then established that
She was a malignant
If you haven't seen malignant
Check it out
When she turned around
She was the other character
And I like Jack Quaid's commitment
To doing characters
Jack Quaid is another person
We talked about Tatiana Maslani
Being a fan and then being on the show
Jack was another person
Who I believe was a fan as a kid
Listening as a teenager
And now he's been on the show
And the first time he was on the show
Was to promote Star Trek
And I never expect the celebrities
To ever then do characters
No, I mean I can't
I'm trying to think of anybody else who...
Every once in a rare while
Someone will say
You don't want me to do a character to you
And I go, no, no, don't worry
You just yourself
They're very frightened of it
But Jack was one with...
His very first episode
He came on and said
Okay, and then I'm gonna come back
And I'm gonna be this character
And he just really wanted
To do another character
And it's been great
Every episode he's done
He's done a character on it
And it's really fun
Yeah, it's really fun to hear him do that
And of course his...
Catchphrase, how's everybody going?
Alright, let's take a break
When we come back
I promise we're gonna crack the top ten
Okay, are you happy now?
Dildos?
Alright, Dildos
We'll see you
We'll be right back
With more comedy bang bang after this
Comedy bang bang
We're back
Oh man, we're back
And we're...
Can you believe we're gonna do it?
I can't believe it
I mean, we...
Most best ofs are ten
If you're lucky
If you're lucky
Sometimes it'll be two
That's a bad show
Best of
Here's two clips
We've done three episodes
Let's do a best of
One sucked
The other two are okay
Here they are
But we're gonna crack the top ten now
This is so freakin' awesome
So look, the other seven
That you've heard about
They're fine
They're fine
And you know what I wanted to say
About the bonus clip?
I really...
When that person got chosen by random
I was like, oh, let's see what they chose
And they chose that episode,
Startune Cartoon
And I was like, well, it's not in the top 17
And in fact, it was gonna be number 22
Is where it landed on the actual countdown
But I listened back to it to pull the clip
And in my opinion, it's just as good
As any of the other episodes
Really funny stuff in it
That's what was so good about this year
Was even the stuff that isn't in the top...
That's why we did a top 17
Yeah, but it's not...
It's top ten for a reason
Do you know what I mean?
I know
It's that people know of a top 10
I know, but there's so many good episodes
Is what I was trying to say
Oh, sure
I could have done a top 50
Oh, sure, but that's...
Then you're talking about...
That would be stupid
Stupid
That's every episode except for two of them
It's stupid
And...
It's stupido, as Maharie would say
As Maharie says
It's stupido
He mutters it under his breath at Donkey Kong
It's stupido
Even though...
That's Spanish
I'm realizing that
But, hey
Not out of character for Mario
To do something like that, I would say
No, what?
Didn't...
Didn't in a recent...
Like the most recent Mario Brothers game
He's just bafangoo, listen
Bafangoo
Bafangoo
Alright, let's just do it
Let's crack the top 10
This is your choice for episode number 10
Number 10
Alright
The numbers are normal, too
This is why top 10 is the best
It's the most desired real estate in a countdown
Alright, this is episode 765
Okay, so we're in the mid to early
700s
Early, late
700s
Early, late
60s?
It's not so far from 750s
Early, late, 700s
I see what you're saying
Yes, you're right
This is from July 11th, 2022
And this is an episode
Entitled, Pirate Ship Energy
Pirate Ship Energy
Let me tell you who's involved
Do you have
Adam Pally?
Yes
Adam Pally, who people will know from Happy Endings
As well as
The show with John Gabriel
Who also was there
They were promoting their show
Which is called 101 Places to Party
Before You Die, I believe
Correct, correct
We have Ben Rogers
Correct
And we have Lisa Gilroy
There we go
Dynamite lineup
Dynamite lineup
Dynamite, dynamite
This was the episode Adam and John
They had their TV show
So John is usually
Comes on as his one character
Intern Gino
He's done two other characters over the years
But once
Once in England he did one
Lord Dennis Meir
I think for about five minutes
No, it's me Gino
But he did do another character once
One of the sports guys
One of the sports guys
Yeah, that was with
I don't recall, but you can look it up
Paul, you can look it up
I'm welcome to do my own research
But he was playing himself
Because he had a television show to promote
So that was fun
He did go do Gino
During this episode
He went and did Gino
We're going to hear
Ben Rogers doing Jack Furze
Did I talk about Jack Furze?
Did he make the countdown before?
I believe he has
Okay
I believe he has
So I told the story of how Jack Furze came about
Which was Ben
Auditioning for the Between Two Ferns movie
The only thing we gave
Auditioners was
You work for a local news station
Doing something
That was it
And he came in as a cameraman
Who very obviously
It was a Peter Parker situation
Was taking pictures and video
Of vigilante named the Night Wolf
So he's been on the show
Several times in his
The lore of the Night Wolf
Expands every time he's on the show
It's such a funny character
It's so funny
It's such a great idea
So we're going to hear some of that
Some of the Jack Furze Night Wolf saga
Then John Gabriel says Gino
And then Lisa Gilroy
This is her first time on the countdown
It's going to be Bethany Waterbottle
And that's pretty crazy
So we're going to hear two clips
Jack Furze and Bethany Waterbottle
Let's hear it
This is your number 10
Let's talk to him
He's been on the show before
He's a photographer
Welcome back to the show, Jack Furze
Hey, Scott
Hey
Thanks so much for having me
Hey, Jack
Great to see you
Yeah, I'm still
Very salad
Before you came in here by any chance
A lot of seeds in that salad
Is that better?
Yeah
A lot
Crystal
Crystal clear
Great
Hey, great to see you, Jack
This is Adam
This is John
How's it going?
Hey
If you guys ever need a camera person
On the show
Yeah, you were talking
You were complaining about your camera guy
I heard
I fucking nailed that shit
I mean, that's my job
You're a photographer
You're a photographer as well
That's right
I do more photojournalism
Oh, nice
Do you do every party photography
Because we're hopefully going to be able
To have a premier party for the show
And could you take some shots
That'd be great
Yeah, I could set up some cameras
If it's a high crime area
You might want to look out
I don't know where you're throwing this party
But a lot of these parties
Are in some pretty dicey locations
And I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about
No, I don't
And I don't want to know
This is a conversation I hear
A lot from my uncle
And I'm scared where this is going
I don't know why that has anything
To do with photojournalism
Well, I'm just following stories
If it bleeds, it leads
You cover the crime beat, mainly
I mostly do the crime beat
Yeah, don't read into it too much
That makes way more sense
It makes way more sense
Usually, I mean
Hey, you guys seem hopped up
And I don't know what
So maybe you're looking into things
A little too much
Adam and I got very high
Before we worked together
Just a little
I'm wearing a tie-dye t-shirt
So it gives off the impression
Yeah, no
Some of the other camera guys
Are into the tie-dye shit
Me, not so much
I...
Sorry, the other guys
Are into tie-dye
Like wearing it
Like wearing it
And they're appreciating it
They wear it, they make it
They make it
They sell it?
They sell it
They're doing all sorts of crazy shit
Some of these other fucking whack jobs
I run into at the local stations
I don't know how these guys
Look through a lens finder
And find their own fucking feet
Not like you though
You're not a tie-dye guy
I'm not a tie-dye guy
I don't have time for it
Let's describe what it is
For these guys
It is time-consuming to make
To buy, to wear
To buy or wear
That's almost all
Well, it's time-consuming to wear
You've been wearing that for about
You know, half an hour at this point
Yeah, whole day
So it's very time-consuming
Half an hour
We've been talking for 40 minutes
You bought the shirt
I didn't want to get in your naked
A little too flashy too
I came in like Terminator
I came in fully naked
And pulled that off a dead hippie
When I shoot your guys' show
Wait, I'm gonna blow you in
And thanks for bringing me aboard
I really needed a job
You have no idea
I have no idea what your studio set is
But you have no idea how
You are probably better than 50% of the people
What?
Are you Ayatsi?
I'm in multiple unions
And if not, I'm in good standing
That's good
I don't know what that means
The interesting thing about your style
Is a lot of it
It's sort of, I don't know
What you would call a verite
Or something
But it's normally like
It seems like the camera
Is affixed to a building
And stationary in a way
Yeah, quite often
The camera is kind of linked
On a rooftop
Right
And just catching something in the frame
Catching things that fly by
Like this guy at Night Wolf
I've talked about him before on this show
Oh yeah, you mentioned him on this show
A couple of times
Yeah, I won't get into it
I'm not gonna waste everybody's time
But there is a guy kind of cleaning up the streets
A little bit called the Night Wolf
And he's a bit of a vigilante
And I don't know why anybody's not talking to him
And it might be cool if he showed up on your show
I've never heard of the Night Wolf
Well, he's a Los...
Have you done your Los Angeles episode?
We have not done an LA episode
Oh, he would come up
On the Los Angeles episode probably
People would probably be talking about him locally
I had never heard of him
Is he like a super power thing?
Or is he like a Batman?
You know what, that's...
Like a vengeance Batman
Yeah, it's kind of both
Oh yeah
Does he have super powers?
I don't know that this has ever come up
I think like magic
As far as like courage goes
In a way, that's a bit of a superpower
To me, I think his courageousness
And his bravery is...
And his intelligence perhaps
But for sure
That's a good point
He seems smart as hell
Is he even like a mutate?
Like can he like walk through walls
Or like or fly?
Or is there any sort of like
Metaphysical?
It's a mystery, Adam
We don't really know
You're just guessing at this point
Because you're in the media
And you've caught him on tape a few times
You're one of the only people who has managed to catch my thing
I'm the only guy who's really been able to grab him
And that's just so...
So a guy named Jack Furz
The only guy who's caught the Night Wolf
It's Furz
Okay, never mind then
I thought I was going to connect with it
With the Z
Well, I'm familiar with the surname Furz
Yeah, of course
Have you heard about this guy, the cross puzzler?
No, the cross puzzler
Yeah, really
What is that? Who is that?
Well, he's got me in a bit of trouble, Scott
He sent these threatening puzzles to the mayor
And some other city officials
Yeah, Garcetti himself
And they're full of...
I guess if you answer these crossword puzzles
It's kind of a challenge to the Night Wolf
And if they would have answered them correctly
It would have really put the Night Wolf into the headlines
But some of these questions
It's almost as if the cross puzzler
Just put it into a computer program
And it had multiple options
And they can kind of equal some pretty scary stuff
And these guys thought their lives were threatened
And somehow the federal authorities
Traced it back to me, Jack Furz
That's weird
Yeah, how did they trace it back to you?
God, I don't know
This is some sort of conspiracy
Did the cross puzzler...
Like, oh, this is a level that...
My cross puzzler, by the way, is Jesus Christ
Yeah, I hope so
He's always like, what are you doing?
I don't think he figured that thing out
How does this thing work?
Ouch
Bethany, you're a 14 year old bully
It's Bethany
Sorry, Stephanie
Bethany
That's what I said, didn't I?
Like Beth, like Bethlehem
That's what I said, Bethany
Bethany
What am I saying wrong?
Bethany water bottles, say it, pig
Bethany water bottle
Alright, you got it
Okay, great
So you're a 14 year old bully from the UK
Yeah, from London Town
And who do you bully?
Everyone I can get me ends on
You know why?
As I said before, government can't stop me
Because I'm from the water bottle family
My dad, the sanny, my mum, Fuji
My uncle, Avian
You can't mess with us, can you?
They work there?
They can do all the cash in the water shop
Their first names are the brands of all the water bottles
My sister Crystal Geyser
My other sister, Valley Spring
Oh my god, you're so connected
I know what sister is cheap there
Excuse me
Excuse me, pull down your trousers
These trousers?
Okay
Let me touch the eyeball
And I just use hand sanny
There's a little burn for your pig
Should I pull up my trousers now?
And trousers are pants, right?
I'm gonna stop filming this
So you've come to our country to bully us?
What exactly, I'm trying to get a handle on you
What exactly are you here for?
I guess I'm on a bullying rampage
Because I can't be stopped
And my family don't care, do they?
Everybody got a wobble name
Except for me, Bethany, adopted
Oh, so you were adopted, really?
Oh, I'm so sorry
So your family adopted you so they wouldn't have to pay you
So they needed an employee
They weren't dying for another child
They already had your sister's arrow head in Poland Spring
Crystal Geyser
Crystal Geyser is one of the only fans accounts I follow
She throws a tarp down and then makes a mess
Excuse me
What do you say about my sister? Put your trousers back on
Okay, put it back on
Jesus Christ
I'm a little sweaty so it's hard to pull them up and down that much
Pull them up higher
Okay, how's this?
Does it hurt?
I feel like a high school offensive line coach
With my shorts this high
I got this foopa going
Keep them up really high and everyone else take your pants
Completely off and put them in my basket
I'm not putting my pants in your basket
Because I can tell you're gonna take me off a couple more times
So better spare me, say and take off your trousers
Here we go
I've got random furry stuff underneath my pockets
Just to let everybody know
I lost a bet earlier this morning
Oh, I understand
Yeah, alright, let's take our pants
Here we go
In the pants basket they are
Alright, there we are
I'm over here touching my own eyes
I learned something I like over here
These trousers stink, don't I?
I mean, one of them I think does
Okay
That could be anybody
I think it's you, Jack
I'm wearing a lot of layers today
I just guessed the weather wrong
L.A. is crazy like that
It's cold in the morning
That's famous, L.A. is famous
For the weather being hard to nail down
So are you traveling to other countries
To try to get a message out or are you
I mean, what are you doing while you're here?
I mean, how long are you here?
So many questions
Good question, Scoot
You know what I'm doing
Oh, man, I'm hurt
She's a fucking professional bully
She's got cuts to the core
I'm on a bullying rampage
I guess because I've had my feelings
Haven't been really included in my family
So going on a world tour to cause as much pain
As I've felt in it
Years and years
Working in the factory for my families
And adopted little Bethany
You know, in the top of a water bottle
There's a little white lid on it
Speak when it's spoken to me
Here's your trousers back, come on
Oh, shit
Okay, I'll put it back on
Those are Jack's trousers
Oh, yeah
Yeah, put on the stinky ones
They smell like smoke bombs
Just FYI
Now, Bethany, I had a quick question
You said you work for the crime family
In the water bottle factory
The water bottle family
Is a bit of a crime family
Because they know the water supply
Is going to dry up
And then they're going to be like
The different sections of a mafia
Ohhh
La Costa knows that
But because they haven't given me a proper title
I'm just out here on my own
Like I said, he's a work in the factory
Putting a little white lid on
But you know the pot that's like
The little ring around the white lid
Yeah, they connect it
The bed tears away when he's inside
Trousers up, round your neck
Oh, shit
Oh, God
Now he's hard again
Well, that was my job as a layman
Can I put my trousers around mine, Nick?
No, you may not
Well, okay
I'm doing it anyway for kicks
I was the only one in my family
With fingers little enough
To put the little ring around
On top of the water bottle
Oh, Bethany
Oh, this is some snowpiercer shit
Getting there, working bones off
Why aren't you, Bethany?
Can you blame me
When after ten years of that
All I want to do is
Oh, frisky claps
And pay on donuts
And dick slaggers
And trousers, huh?
You started doing that
At the age of four?
Hey, your parents
Is your dad dead?
Hey, you shouldn't ask someone that
Oh, sorry
Only you should ask
He just passed
Oh, no
The CBB curse strikes again
Did he kill himself
Because his name was Fuji
And that is in a water bottle?
My mom's name's Fuji
My dad's Dasani
My uncle Evian
My sister Crystal Guy
My other sister Alex
Bring me brother Tap
Tap
Oh, man
I'd hate to be tap
Tap
You know what?
The sad thing about tap
Stillborn
Oh
But you still bring them up
When people ask you about your feelings
No, he's not dead, is he?
Just stillborn
Oh, he still was born
He's not sparkling, is what I'm saying
Oh, I understand now
Number 10
Yes
Wasn't there a previous episode with Lisa?
No
This is her
This is the first one?
Her first...
She did one other episode this year
Which did not make the top 17
Sorry, I remember...
Yes, okay
I remember now why I was confused
It's an internal thing
And of no concern to the listener
You have cancer?
Yeah, I have internal cancer
The worst kind
No one can see it so they don't believe me
Oh, I'm like that writer
No, this is Lisa's debut on the Countdown
Crackin' the top 10
And...
Yeah, very funny
Lisa is a relatively new addition
To the podcast
She did one episode the year before
With Christian Brune
Oh
And maybe you?
I can't remember
But definitely Christian
No, because I met her for the first time
Recently, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So...
That was very funny
And...
After those clips, by the way, Adam Pally
Then came back on as Johnny Depp
Who had just been...
Called innocent or whatever he was
She took me on the dole
It's very funny
The whole episode is very funny
I mean, you got four great people
Who have great energy
And everyone is funny all the way
Hold on a second, Scott
You made a mistake
Five great people
Oh, who else was there?
You
Oh, I forgot about...
That's right
I forgot about Dre
You're an important part of the show
Oh, that's true
Never forget it
I won't forget it
Do I do this show?
I immediately forgot
Is he saying Jeremy Pippin?
I threw that into a show the other day
Someone had the exact same reaction
I was like, does he sing Jeremy Pippin?
And someone said, does he sing Jeremy Pippin?
I was like, wow, it still works
Why was he asking that in the first place?
I don't know
I forget how it started
What a weird thing to want to know
It was Zach said it
Oh, right
Does he sing Jeremy Pippin?
Who cares?
That's right
Here's your answer
Who gives a shit?
All these years later
Let me give a legitimate answer to your question
Who cares?
Good episode
And good to hear from Lisa
Good episode
Who's been a great addition
Alright, let's take a break
When we come back
We have one more clip to play
We'll be...
We're in the top ten now, baby
We're about to crack the top nine
We're in the good stuff
We'll be right back with more comedy
Bang bang after this
Comedy bang bang
Still here
We're still here
Still standing
Better than we ever did
We're still standing
I watched that Elton John from Dodger Stadium show
Did you watch that?
No, how was it?
It was good
He still is an amazing pianist
He still sounds great
Anytime he gets up to walk
He looks like he's in incredible pain
He's like a little infirm
How old is he now?
152
Well, God bless him
Yeah
Pretty lady
He was a...
Famously got his stage name
From sitting on a toilet
What?
John
No
I believe so
What?
His name is Reggie Something
Reginald Dwight
Reginald Dwight
And he was trying to come up
With a stage name
And he was sitting on a toilet
He's like John
That's...
I refuse to believe
And David Bowie
Was sitting on a Bowie knife
That's how it works
His real name, of course, David Jones
That's right, Davey Jones
He couldn't be Davey Jones
Because of the monkeys
Because of the monkeys
Yes
Where...
Davey Jones's real name is David Bowie
It's so strange
They could have just
They could have been themselves
Yes, they should have talked to each other
Yeah
But they didn't have each other's number
No
Yeah
No
They're both English though
There were not that many phones in England at the time
So they might not even have phones
If you've seen Downton Abbey
You know that episode
Where they finally install a phone
They're like
Why would anyone want to contact us at all?
There were three phones
Yeah
In 1967
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In all of England
Yeah
And they all called each other
All the time
They didn't necessarily have anything
To sit with each other
Or like each other
But it's like
What else are you going to do?
Yeah
If you got this phone
Exactly
It's like
It's fun to talk on the phone though
It's fun to talk on the phone
Let's call one of the other
Two people who have phones
God, I can't stand talking on the phone
I used to love it
I know
I used it for hours
Yes
And now
It's the worst thing in the world
Now if somebody calls me
I'm like
Who's calling me?
Who the fuck would ever?
Fun detour
Yeah
My mom called me
Don't call me mom
I'm assuming
Don't call me your mother
I'm assuming it's bad news
True
Text me to give me a heads up
That you just wanted to talk
One of my sisters would leave
She used to leave messages like that
They were like
Hey call me when you can
And it was never bad news
But it always sounded like
You know
I have to talk to you
Because someone has died
I
I've not revealed this story by the way
You know when I broke my ankle?
This is a sclucey?
Famously
I've told the story on three of them
Of how much I broke
A sclucey from you see
Yes
Of how I broke my ankle
I've never revealed this detail
Right before
The game of pickleball that I was playing
I got a text from my mom that said
We are in crisis mode over here
You know you did
I did tell you this
Okay this is typical freedom
We're in crisis mode
We're in crisis mode
We're in crisis mode over here
Are you sure I didn't just tell you this personally?
Maybe you did
Okay
And so
I was distracted by that
Crisis mode
Because they're both older
Yes
And I was like
Oh no and I wrote back
What's going on
And then I turned on my phone
So I could hear if she happened to call
Or text or something
But then I waited around for a bit
I was like okay let's just start the game
I broke my
I was playing pickleball
I went for a ball
I broke my ankle
And the minute I did I went
Ah
And suddenly she called
And I had to hobble over to the phone
To see what had happened to them
And their printer had run out of paper
Crisis
On infinite printers
So if you are a parent out there
And an elderly parent
Don't say you're in crisis mode
No
When it's about a fucking printer
Let me say this
Very quickly
Sports with the name ball in them
Yeah
Are
Mostly they're terribly named
Basketball?
Absolutely
There's always a ball in them
I'm gonna say basketball
Or just call it basket
I think basketball is okay
But baseball no
Base
Bat ball would be better
Oh wait
So you like the ball part
I'm saying
You don't like the descriptor
Of what type of ball it is
I'm saying if you're gonna
Yeah
I'm saying if you're gonna
Baseball
Basketball makes sense
Cause it's like you throw this ball
In the basket
Baseball could have been called
Running bases
But that's a different game
What about stadium ball?
Well then you're not
Yeah
Okay
Cause you hit the ball into the stadium
Much like you throw the ball
Into the basket for basketball
Football should be called tackle
Yeah
Should just be called tackle
Goal ball
Touchdown ball
Touchdown ball?
Sure
I like touchdown ball
Touchdown ball
Touchdown ball
Let's play some touchdown ball
Touchdown ball
But football doesn't make it any sense
When they already knew
There was another sport called football
I know and not only that
But you don't even fucking
Use your feet all that much
One guy does
One little guy does
And not even well
No
He sucks
He sucks
He fucking sucks
He sucks
Get rid of him
Alright
Let's crack the top nine
Here it is
This is your choice for episode number nine
Number nine
Alright
This is an episode
Number 755
We are really early in the mids
In the early mids
Yes
And it's from May 2, 2022
And I don't know if that says anything to you
May to win
What?
May to win
2022
May to win
No
May to
When does it end?
May to to
1159 on May 2
That's a long episode
Starts at 1201
This is an episode called
The 13th Anniversary Show
Oh boy oh boy
Yes
You know
These anniversary shows
They're bananas
Some people say
They should be excluded from
Competition because
Because they're so packed
They're so packed with people
That it's hard not to vote for them
But I'll tell you what
What do you feel about that?
These two are not that high up on the countdown
I mean you had number 13
And number nine
So I mean I think
I think that's pretty representative
I think
I think they're funny
I listen to them all
I mean of course
But I mean
They're so stacked
That it's like
Should they be
Should they be excluded from
Competition because
I don't think so
I don't think so
Okay
That's all I'm asking
I don't think so
People love these episodes
Well it's through the live episodes
And sometimes they're higher
And sometimes they're lower
I
Truly I wish that
We were able to throw the live episodes
We did
We did
20
Some odd live shows this year
And they're all up on CBBworld.com
And I was going to have a separate poll
For what was your favorite live episode
And it just didn't happen
Plus we're doing a top 17
We have enough
And a bonus
We have enough stuff
Some very defensive
Fuck you
You personally
No that's how it took it
Alright this was
The 13th anniversary show from May 2
We had been in the backyard for
Now four months at this point
And this was our first
Almost out of exposure
Our first hypothermia
This is our first in studio

And I wish I hadn't heard that name
Well hey
We're going to take a lunch break after this
It actually made my stomach hurt
You have
I don't think we're going to hear
A clip from this
But Tim Baltz is doing a new character

And then we're going to hear
Ago doing
Pasta Pasta
So let's hear those clips
This is your number nine
Number nine
Please welcome back
To the show Bill Walton
Hello Bill
Oh yeah
Thirteen
And feeling me
Scotty Oz
Turn down your phones everyone
Turn down your phones
Wow
How are you Bill
Oh
What a fantastic day
What a fantastic 13th year
I cannot wait
I have already mangled
My
Microphone stand
You spoke so loud
The microphone stand broke
Yes
Is that what happens
An old cartoons
When people sang opera
Glasses would shatter
When I speak
Microphone stands
Go slightly awry
This is one of the great anniversaries
Is it not
One of the best anniversaries
I hate to set you up here
One of the best we've ever seen
From the
The silver anniversary
Which is one of my favorites
To
To
Oh let's see
I know we all need to help out
We all need to chip in
The anniversary party
Oh yes
One of the great
Slow played
Marbles of theater
Written by
I believe the fantastic
Let me pull this name out real quick
He did betrayal
He's not a house painter
But you take off a letter and he's
House painter
Oh I'm sorry no in the painter word
Oh yes
Harold paint
One of the great
And we take a quick beat
As the jokes would do
If you're in the theater school
Harold painter
Pause
One of the great painters
Yes one of the great painters
But he did not paint houses
He painted emotional trauma
Onto stage
As played by some of the
Fantastics
Not
Joel Gray of course
One of the great greys
From 50 shades of
From 50 shades of to
Zanatomy
Did she play Michi?
Zanatomy is Michi
Happy anniversary
Lucky 13
Many hamburgers to you of course
Big chunky bubbles
Big chunky bubbles
That's my name
I feel like I haven't spoken to you since
Perhaps a live episode
Three years ago before the pandemic
I don't keep track of when I talk to you
Surprise surprise
Who do you keep track of that you talk to?
Well my wife
My kids
Give me the stats on your wife's chats
Well you know she's past
Oh that's right
What happened there?
I still talk to her
Oh I see
Do you make a trip out to the graveyard
Or do you just do it around the house?
Oh fuck
Which answer would you like
To make fun of more?
Mr. Sensitive
I just find it interesting that most people
You know they think that if they're not
In the graveyards you know like ten feet
Radius of the actual
How do you ten feet?
Six feet six feet sorry
Who's standing six feet away
From the grave to talk to it?
I mean meaning they're six feet down
What?
Six feet under my dear boy
Yeah I get that
One of the great
Series finales of all time
Wouldn't you say Scott?
Sure
Six feet under
From the end of Lost
Which we all loved to the
Beginning of Lost
Which was a finale to my
Free time on Tuesday nights
So big junky bubbles
How is your pandemic?
We haven't spoken since before
How is my pandemic?
Yes
What do you want me to ask?
Have you gotten
Have you gotten less good
At interacting with people
Since quarantine?
You're trying to say that of course it was bad
And so why am I even asking?
Of course it was
Well that's not strictly true
It was actually pretty good for me
So then it's a good question
Shut up
Why was it good for you big junky bubble?
Because I was
You don't have to say my whole stage name
Every time
I'm sorry PD
You can call me PD
That's my name
PD Amin
PD Amin
PD
First of all
Before we go into
How your pandemic was
Which I hear is pretty good
For new listeners
You are an artist
There can't be new listeners to this show
No we're just shedding
Listeners like the virus
Like the uterine lining
You are a person
Why is that the first thing I think of
When I hear the word shedding
I don't have a period
Why should I be thinking that?
Why does that rattle it around
And you're not
I don't like it
Oh big junky
Everyone should be sympathetic
To the shedding of the uterine lining
Yeah
It affects
At least half of the world's population
Well it affects the other half
Of when you can have sex or not
So
And a little lesson about
Scotty Boy
Not for Bill Walton
I'm in there
A night shed or not
It's not about sympathy
It's just I don't want to think
About it all the time
All the time
Well when I hear the word shedding
How many times are people saying shedding
I don't know a lot
I know a lot of people who have snakes
Okay
That's another thing
That I want to talk to you about
At some point
But not today
Sure
But you are an artist
You perform
At children's parties
I'm a children's entertainer
And you
What distinction
Were you going to make
I can't remember
If you've performed
At adult parties either
But you
Simply do children parties
I'm primarily
At children's entertainer
And you
You entertain them
By making giant bubbles
They're big chunky bubbles
That's right
That I make out of soups and stews
Instead of soaps
Instead of soaps
And maybe there's a stews
Parallel as well
Instead of soaps and
Soat?
Stews?
I don't know
But
You really don't
You're making soups and stews
I
Yes
I'm making soups and stews
Then I make bubbles
From those soups and stews
They are bigger
And healthier
Than any other bubble
That's right
And
I know it is
It doesn't go well
You've scalded
Hey
How many
How many children
Have you scalded with your
I have never
Well
With your piping hot soups
I have hardly ever
Scalded anyone
Because I issue
Warnings at the top
Of the performance
For people to stay back
Also I know
What I'm doing
It's my trade
Right
Yes
So how many
How many people
Five
At all career
At one party
Or at five different parties
At five
At three different parts
Three different parts
So two at
Two of those parties
You want me to give you the
Breakdown
Yes please
Well it would have to be two
Two at one party
Okay
Two at another party
Yeah
One
At the final party
Yeah
What I said
Yeah
Exactly
Okay
At the final party
Congrats
Did you say the final party
Are you not doing this
The final party
Where
So tell me about
About the pandemic
What happened
Why was it so great for you
Well at the wet markets
In Wuhan
Oh dear
Oh no
Oh boy
Wait how much do you know
Zero
I mean I know that the
Pandemic they say
It started there
Well the thing about
Wet markets is
There's a lot of bubbles
And bubbles pop
I didn't think about that
No one ever does
Well you were there
No
What
What happened
What do you mean
Do you not know
Anything about the pandemic
I was thinking that you were
Saying you were the person who
Brought it over here to the
State
Why would I
Hey let's say I was
Why would I tell anyone
So what are you trying to say
I thought you were just
Completely ignorant of what
Happened
You were going all the way
Yes
God damn it I hate you
I hate you too
Well thankfully I've stopped
Using bat in all my recipes
Oh yes
Okay yeah there was a period
For Halloween I wouldn't
Make a bat challenge
Well big chunky bubbles
It's a pleasure to have
You're already winding down
Why do you
What else do you have
What else do I have
We went through so many detours
Thanks to you
Talking about my grandmothers
Let's get to what you want to
Get to
I want to let people know
I've started doing shows
For grown ups
What
Yes
This is unprecedented
You've never done this
That's right Bill
If you come to one of my shows
I'll make sure to stack up
Eight regular chairs
For you to sit on
Oh baby baby
I gotta say
Edible or not those soups
Are going in my mouth
The second the month
No no
Yes sir
Try and stop me
Well I've started making
New bubbles that
New shapes of bubbles
New shapes
That are only suitable
For adults
These are a little
Salty
Boy
Well they're definitely salty
I mean
Your soups are
I don't know why
I still season them
I don't need to
Since they're not edible
But what shapes are these
The mind reels
When I think about it
Well
I mean
You can imagine some of them right
Like
Giant balls
Yes
I mean most bubbles
Look like
Giant testicles
Yeah but when you put
Two together
Two together
But the secret is
You can't have them
Interlock
Because that's just
Two bubbles
That are interlocking
Right
You have to make it
Have the two bubbles
Have the same relationship
To each other
That human testicles would
Right
Okay do you ever do
Just one ball
And you're like
This is Hitler
And you get a big laugh
To ever introduce
Hitler into the show
Cause you're a weirdo
BCB
I'm a weirdo
I haven't mentioned
Hitler to you
Once
He is a
He's a clergy person
In the ministry
Trying to get out there
And save people
And
Also an
Enthusiast
Of a certain type of food
Please welcome back to the show
Pasta Pasta
Pasta Pasta
Pasta Pasta
Sorry I can never know how
Never quite remember
How to pronounce it
And you say it like
My identity is separate
Also an enthusiast of pasta
But I'm an enthusiast
Because I'm a pasta
What's that track
For you Scott
I suppose so
Yes and I apologize
I didn't mean to offend you
But all God's people said
Fusilli
Fusilli
All right
Now for those of you
Who haven't heard
Pasta Pasta
What the hell are you doing
Yeah go back and just
Pause this one
For those of you who haven't heard
Pause the episode
And go back and listen
To the others
And your thing is basically
You are a minister
Who also enjoys pasta
Scott why are you acting
Like you don't know
Scott
I didn't come here
To be antagonistic with you
Of course you didn't
But it seems inevitable
Why you gotta act confused
About my identity
I'm not confused
I'm
Or am I getting the facts wrong
What do you tell me
What am I not saying
I love pasta
Right
I'm also a pasta
Right
Who preaches about pasta
Right
Understand
I understand it now
Yes it's full circle
Very good
Very good
Are you doing this on Sundays
I don't know if we've ever talked about
What day you're out there
Sundays
Saturdays
Mmm
Sometimes Wednesdays
Sometimes Wednesdays
Yes
Other days I rest
Okay
That's a lot of time off
On the other four days
He rested
Yes
I have always thought that
Being a minister
Or being a
You know a pastor
Or anything like that
Like you're working one day a week
Yeah
It's a pretty sweet gig
Right
Well no
I would say it's not a sweet gig
And honestly Scott
I don't mean to bring the mood down here
At this beautiful toy investigation
Oh no
We've been having so much fun
We've been hearing music
It's been music
You heard a song
Yeah
The two things
Music and a song
Yeah
Music is part of songs
Generally speaking
Sure
Some say they're synonymous
I would almost say that
If a song came on in their
Oh sorry
Rigatoni
If a song came on in
There wasn't music in it
I would pass
You would just a cappella
No there'd be music in that
Okay sure
Oh you mean instrumentation
Sure
Sure
I do mean that
I like you today
I like you too
Okay very good
It's good to have you on
We're celebrating the 13th anniversary
And you have something
That you want to bring
Well this isn't so much a celebration
But maybe for my enemies
Okay
My doctor has told me
I have 45 minutes to live
No
From now or from when he told you
From now
He said the minute you step on
And start talking on that podcast
You got 45 minutes to live
This is like a speed situation
This is a speed situation Scott
He said my cholesterol is so high
From eating pasta
From eating pasta
And I said I am not going to stop
Eating pasta
Over my dead body
While I start eating pasta
Yeah you brought some
You brought like
Literally
Yeah you brought a whole bunch
Of to-go containers
Different types of pasta
I came here
The doctor told me
Don't come here
Right
He told me not to come here
He said it's not good for my health
Or my blood pressure
Or my cholesterol
Right
But you still came here
Because I care Scott
Thank you so much
I care about you
I know we've had our differences
But I care about you
You're another one of these guys
I haven't really liked all that much
But we don't work together
I come here gratis
Yes that's true
Yeah
I come here gratis
Everybody else coming gratis
Anybody getting paid
Hey when you're in the kitchen
Can you make us some gratis
Oh
You're an asshole
Wow
How do you like it?
The enemy of my enemy
Is my friend I thought
I'ma just come out and say it
I'ma just come out
You don't have much time left on this earth
Just lose the filter
Y'all wanna talk about the Simpsons
Her mother
What was your favorite Simpsons episode
My favorite Simpsons
Episode
Yeah episode or person
I like Bart
Yeah
I like Bart
What do you like about Bart
Good character
Probably one of the best characters
One of the top five
I like how prominent he was
See when you watch a show
You like whoever has the most lines
I count episode by episode
And over time he had most of the lines
He had the most lines
Yeah
Homer was really rivaling him
Once they figured out what was funny about him
Sure sure sure
But I'm riding for Bart to the day I die
Which is today in a couple minutes
Oh no
Number nine
We also heard from Gary the Gardner
After that
That's Sean Diston
Who was playing the Gardner
Who was always leaf blowing
During the backyard era
That's right
And then Wilhine's debut a character
Named Keith Stanley
The punk rocker
That he brought on tour as well
And also on that episode
The band the Canadian band Stars
Did music and so
They were
What more could you ask for
An incredible episode
This was the episode where
I hadn't done big chunky bubbles in a while
And I wasn't quite doing the voice correctly
I think you adjusted at some point
Yeah
But it was I remember
Not because I did not listen
To an episode before I did it
Because I was like
And then
When I listen back to it
I remember in the moment feeling like
Oh I'm not nailing this
This is it
Well on tour
What maybe a lot of people don't know is
If you were
You did a different character
On every stop of the tour
We did almost 30 of it
I can't remember
I also tried not to repeat in cities
Yeah
But I did once
But you would listen back
To previous episodes
Right before you went on stage
To make sure that you were getting the voice right
A paranoid about it
Would you just
A paranoid about it
A paranoid about it
What did you say?
A paranoid about it
Oh you're a paranoid about it
Okay
That was really fun
Good to have everyone back
That was really fun
After the backyard era
Alright well
By the way
We're going to hear a song from stars
At the end of this episode
How do you like that
One of their songs
I mentioned it earlier
I pointed and I said
This guy
We forgot to do it in the first episode
Paul
What do we have here
It is time for
The snowman game
What we have here is
A fun little
Christmas decoration
Purchased from Target
I believe
It is a
Just an adorable fat little snowman
He's got a scarf on
By the way
I've never felt the scarf before
It feels like it would be very comfortable
Yeah
Too bad it's around his neck
Do you want to have a little feel?
It's a great scarf
I better be very warm
He's holding a candy cane
He's got of course
A signature top hat
He's got two button eyes
And a nose made out of coal
And
Now
Nose made out of coal
Aren't they usually carrots?
Yes
They are
What's up with this?
I don't know
But you know what?
The song has made people go
Like oh
We can just use coal
It's fucking cuter
Well no
Corn cob pipe
And a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Yeah so
He is from the song
Most people don't have
A bunch of fucking coal
Yeah
We have carrots
A button nose is weird
Yeah
I never thought about it before
Because
Well it's got the nostrils
Because of the two holes
Four holes sometimes
Yeah if you're lucky
Oh I wish I had four nostrils
I'd rule the world
So here's the thing
You press
He never leaves the house
You press his little fat hand
And he spins around
You don't need to fat shame this snowman
By the way
No he's a fat pig
Disgusting little bispin
Those are threedom fans
Those are threedom fans
Threedom fans are of course
Called pisspigs
It was their idea
Which is weird
Oh strange
So
The idea is
When you press his hand
He sings a little song
He dances around
And he turns
And he turns
And then he stops
Periodically in a song
But if he looks at you
When he stops
If he lands
If he lands at the end of the song
Looking right at you
At the very end of the song
It feels so good
You feel lucky now
So we have him here
We have in the booth
We're counting
Devin and Kimmy
In the booth
And then who's next
Who's over there
July
Oh and July's there too
Oh wow
Hey
So there's
There's five potential people
That he can look at
July and Christmas
I've heard of Christmas in July
Are you in Christmas?
I mean it's Christmas almost
Anyway
Go ahead
So here we go
I'm going to press
His little
Disgustingly fat hand
Alright
And he's going to look
At one of the five of us
Hopefully
Here we go
July
So delightful
Says we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow
It shows no signs of stopping
I brought me some corn
For popping
Oh he's looking right at me
Let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow
Nobody
Looking at the corner
What is this
The Blair Witch Project
Paul I have some bad news for you
It is the Blair Witch Project
Oh fuck
Let me see those snot bubbles
I kicked the map into the river
What?
Alright that's going to do it for this part two
But we're going to be back on Monday
With part three of the best of twenty twenty two
And Paul you're still going to be with us
I'll be with us and so will the snowman
And I'll tell you one thing
We're going to eat lunch in between these two parts
No
Let's hear that music from stars
We'll see you next time
Thanks bye
No shadows
Put away the past
And you try to go to sleep
Time to build a fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn brighter
Then it's time to stop
And then it's time to start
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I knew the empty city again
Waiting for your passport
Running from your friends
Outside they're burning down the past
They're dreaming in their sleep
If they think it's gonna last
The night goes ninety miles an hour
The terrifying dawn is unfolding like a flower
They live a life of quiet despair
I turn to pull you in
But they never find you there
They never find you there
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me, hurt me
Time to build a fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn out
Man, it's time to stop
Time to filter fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn out
Man, it's time to stop
Time to feel the fire
Time to fill your cup
It grates everything
And it's never gonna stop
Time to feel the fire
Time to fill your cup
The world will keep on turning
Time to stop
Time to stop
I never knew it could be that way
I never knew it could be that way
I never knew it could be that way
