Oh yeah, indeed. Comedy bang bang, comedy bang bang. Oh yeah, indeed. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang, best of 2024, part three. It sounds to me like he's saying, oh no. He's saying, oh no, you think? Oh no. I said that's what it sounds like to me.

So you think he's, you think Reggie Watts, by the way, who does the theme song, who performed that, improvised it live in studio during episode 102, I believe. You think that he was frightened by the prospect of a show happening. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right into it. Oh no.

Oh no, I gotta get out of here. He doesn't say anything after that. He doesn't stick around. That's a good point. So here we go. Ockham's razor. Ockerman's razor. Oh shit.

Were you, the first time you heard that expression, did you get a little excited? Yeah, I was sort of like, oh, am I old enough to shave? Yeah. Am I old enough to shave? I have a great big bushy beard. So you heard this expression when you were a child?

Uh-huh. And I put away childish things pretty soon after that. I didn't hear it until I was a man and I'd already put away childish things. Oh, okay. Yeah. What if it gives you views like- But obviously before I thought it acted like a child. When I was a teen, I did some childish things, but I was trying to-

Yes, yes. I thought as a teen I acted as a teen. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang once again. Yeah, man. This is part three of our 2024 Best Ofs. It truly is.

And this is an exciting episode because we're gonna be cracking the top six, then we're gonna crack the top five, then we're gonna crack the top four. Yeah, then we're going to crack the top five, then we're going to crack the top four. Yeah. Yeah. We're just cracking these things. We're top crackers.

We're definitely tops, unlike of course, that guy from last week, Ebenezer Scrooge. Notorious power bottom. From last week. You know him as the guy from last week. It's Ebenezer Scrooge. Like, do you think Scrooge during the summer, what is he like? Can you see Scrooge in shorts?

Yeah, he probably wears shorts. They're like, he's a pretty chill guy during the summer. Yeah, he wears shorts and sandals, yeah. It's just that, you know why? He just gets seasonal. He's seasonal, he's got sad. Yeah. I mean, people get sad know why he just gets- He's seasonal. He's seasonal, he's got sad. Yeah. I mean, people get sad around Christmas.

A lot of people do. So I cut him a break. Yeah. He wasn't so bad. He's probably out there playing badminton during the summer. He didn't need to be visited by ghosts. No, he's just kind of a sad guy. Hey, you're depressed.

You have a problem and we're gonna send ghosts to your house. Hurt people. Thank you. A friend of mine was in a show. I think, I guess it was like a theme park type show. My favorite kind of show. And the premise of the show was that,

I mean, essentially Scrooge relapsed and had to be visited again. Right. Second part two. It's so fucking stupid. Hey, Scrooge, remember last time? Yeah. You said you'd learned your lesson.

I mean, honestly, that is what would happen. Yeah, probably. Everyone tries to get better and then they just fall back into their own habits. But you know what? Scrooge was so old that perhaps he could have died before relapsing. That's the thing.

If you ever want to change your ways, wait until you're just right about before you're about to die. Yeah. And then you won't ever relapse. I got to do an argument online one time. Oh, good. Yeah, what's better? Online argument.

With somebody who, there was an adaptation of Scrooge, or of Christmas Carol, that FX did where- The effects channel. Yeah, of course we have to see the backstory of the villain. That's the new thing now. Oh yes. How did Scrooge come to be?

Hey, guess what? We see all this in Ghost of Christmas Past. Yeah, exactly. Exactly! They covered it already. Yes. But this person was saying- This is where he learns how to say bah.

Yeah. Someone says bah around him and he goes, ooh, I like that. I'll use that. I'm bugged, I'm stealing that. But this person was saying, actually, I thought it was a good adaptation and it fixed one of the fatal flaws or the fatal flaw of Christmas Carol. What? And I was like, please tell me what the fatal flaw-

Please tell me what has made it be so unpopular. Yes. What is the one problem with this beloved story that's been retold countless times? And they said that Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, Scrooge only changes to save himself. And I was like, no, he's not. No, in fact, well, here's what I would say. Before I was in it back in 1992 at the Sacramento Theater Company,

I maybe had seen some adaptations which were facile and perfunctory at best. Sure. And it can come off that way of just like, the only part you remember as a child is the big skeleton guy going like, check out your grave. Yeah.

And, oh no, okay, I'll change. But when you read it and when you see a more complete version in the version I was in, I was struck by how much of the Ghost of Christmas Past stuff is important to the story where that's where he starts his whole journey of realizing how much he's changed and how much of an asshole he is. Yeah, because the thing is, he's not,

it's not that this prevents him from dying. No, it's not like the skeleton guy is like, check out your grave, you're never gonna have one of these if you change. No, it's just what's written on it. The idea is the lead up to the reveal of the grave is, everybody's talking about this asshole who just died. He was the worst guy in the world.

And Scrooge is like- And yet he still came to his funeral. Wait a minute, who is that guy? No, they didn't go. Isn't that the funeral? It's people who worked there. This is all people who were like, we're very sad. He was an asshole, but still a human life.

Yeah, so it's not like, oh, Scrooge is now immortal. Although that's a great idea for a movie. The immortal Scrooge. Immortal Scrooge. He goes back and forth so many times. Now I'm a jerk again, I figured out I can't die. So. I did have an idea for a movie that I was thinking about working on.

I think I've told you this. And. You thought about working on it. I thought, well, you know, you have like ideas for things and you're always sort of juggling like, oh, which one do I spend time on? No, well, with me it's none. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I just keep those ideas in my head. Think about them every single day, never write anything down. So I had this idea and I'd run it by my agents and they were like, that's honestly your most commercial idea of all of these. That's the one we would say spend time on. And I had been thinking about it and thinking about it.

And then I turned on a movie and it was that idea. Oh no. Lily was in it and- Oh, I auditioned for that film. As what? Will Ferrell? No, as the ghost of Jacob Marley. Oh, okay.

I had to sing and everything. Yeah. And never heard a word. Never heard back. Ooh. Ooh, maybe you are a ghost. I got ghosted. Wow, you got Marley.

Yeah, my idea was just like, I mean, this crew, they did it for Ebenezer, they just have to do it for other people all the time. So it wasn't that the premise of- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. Great. Love it, love it when someone gets to an idea before me.

Now, considering that movie came out on a streamer, right? Yeah, I think it was Apple. And then did anyone, I don't remember anyone ever talking about it. No, I don't think anyone ever watched it, but I do think that just that's the way that one came about. If I had done it, I probably would have written it terribly. Why do you say that?

I don't know. Why can't you say I probably would have written it terribly. And- Why do you say that? I don't know. Why can't you say I probably wouldn't win the Oscar? Yeah, for a Christmas Carol movie. Sure. For a modern revisionist take on a Christmas Carol. It's the beauty of the public domain. Yes. What do you hear what I do with Steamboat Willie?

They do, there is a horror Steamboat Willie coming out this year, I think. You know how the Winnie the Pooh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's one of those. Anyway, I have to introduce us. Oh yeah. My name is Scott Aukerman and you've been listening to us for now nine minutes on the dots without us saying who we are.

I am Scott Aukerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang every week and here co-hosting with me as he does on these best of episodes every year for the past probably 14. We have not ascertained that as of yet. We have the hilarious comedian who has all of his own stuff going on,

but he also does characters on this show, Paul F. Tompkins. Hi everybody. It's nice to be listened to. Yes, it's not nice to be seen. Oh, I don't like being seen. No, but to be listened to. Don't wanna be reminded what it looked like in a photo.

We are here, we are gathered here today to- Dearly beloved. To count down what you have all voted on to be the top episodes of Comedy Bang Bang for 2024. Now we've discussed the voting period the last episode. We don't have to talk about that. Nope. But we're calling it the best of 2024.

And our first episode is gonna really shake the title. Oh no. Our faith in the final. Our faith in the title. Oh no. Our faith in the final. Our faith in the final. Faith in the final. Is this gonna change the balance of power in the Comedy Bang Bang universe? I hope so.

Oh, you hope so? Yeah. Okay. I want Black Adam. I love Black Adam. He is in the Comedy Bang Bang universe cause he did an episode of the Batman show. Oh, that's true.

He changed the balance of power. Yeah. We are counting down your choices. Basically everyone got to vote for your top 10. And we have on previous episodes counted down episodes 14 through seven. And on this episode, we're gonna do your choices for six, five and four. That seems fair.

It seems equitable. It seems like- It seems logical. Yeah. And it seems just. Thank you. Yeah. We're all about justice.

Yes. We want basically everyone there to be equal justice under the law. Who is that movie Justice League in black and white? Is it because it's like these characters see things in black and white? I think it's interesting when you see a movie like Wolverine. I saw the black and white version. I didn't know that happened. Yeah. In fact, in one of the,

by the way, coming up a little later, we're going to have Don Cheadle clip number three from Ocean's Eleven. Yes. As well as, and I know before you start whining, regarding Henry behind the scenes anecdote number two. Two. But the last clip that we played was in Black and White, and I don't think that part of the movie is in Black and White.

I think someone did what Soderbergh has done with the Indiana Jones movies and just did a Black and White version of it. It looked really good. Soderbergh did that with the Indiana Jones movies? With Raiders black and white version of it. Wow. It looked really good. Soderbergh did that with the Indiana Jones movies? With Raiders, definitely. With Raiders, okay. I think he not only did it in black and white, but he did a different score as well.

He likes re-editing. Wow. I'd like to see that. I haven't seen that. Yeah, it's interesting. He edits most of his movies, I think, under a pseudonym. And he's just a guy who loves editing and loves like- Wait a minute. I feel like the editing credit in his movies is Mr. Edits? Yeah. That's him?

Snippy cuts McGee. He's Snippy cuts McGee? Yeah. AKA Mr. Edits? That's the, yeah. Wow. I was wondering why that credit was so long. But he just loves editing. So he'll edit movies that other people have made and put it up on his website for free

and just be like, here's a different way to look at this movie. Absolutely. Which I think is fun. But I do like black and white versions and the Justice League one, while I didn't watch it, I think it's fun to watch movies in black and white. I'm not against black and white. I just, it's an interesting-

It's your favorite Michael Jackson song. That's right. It's huge mor Michael Jackson song. That's right. Huge morphing technology. Ted Koppel, love it. Do you think Ted Koppel is happy that that's one of the last things he ever talked about? Oh, he's gotta be. He's gotta be. He's still with us?

Yeah. Good. I'm sure he's stopped talking about anything else, right? You mean like all he talks about is black and white? Morphing technology? It's like, do you want to visit Ted, Grandpa Ted for Christmas? He's just going to talk about morphing technology. Now everybody sit down and be quiet.

This video uses morphing technology. Boy, we love them, don't we folks? We love Ted Koppel here in this house. We love Ted Koppel. But we're gonna do the regarding Henry fact. We're gonna hear a clip of Don Cheadle in Oceans 11. And at the end of this episode, we're going to play another edition of the Snowman game.

Currently we are one to zero. That's right, in favor of Scott. Yes, so we'll hear exactly what happens in part three. Can I catch up? We don't know, if it hits me again, I don't know, I doubt you'll be able to catch up since we only are playing one more time. If it's two to zero.

I know. So we'll see. Yeah. I did like how we started it on a different place than we did the last time. So we'll do that again. You mean the snowman himself? Yeah.

Yes, absolutely. To keep it fair. To we'll do that again. You mean the snowman himself? Yeah. Yes, absolutely. To keep it fair. To keep it fair. Hey, hey, hey. It's clearing my throat. That's how you- Hey. Results get, hey, don't, results speak for themselves.

My throat is clear as a bell right now. All right, well, let's, I teased it a little bit, but why don't we get to it? This is your choice for episode number six. Number six. Episode six, I talked about how this is the best of 2024. Yeah. This is episode 843.

So this is pretty much in the middle of the eight hundreds. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, almost right in the middle. Yeah, so close to the being dead center. So close. This was from December 18, 2023. What the fudge? That's right.

We talked about the voting eligibility period last time. This is the holiday episodes, the one that just came out two weeks from today, two weeks ago from today, that was not eligible for our best ofs because we record these a bit in advance and we couldn't get all your votes in time and all that kind of stuff.

So there you go. So there you go. But this one was eligible. This is the 2023 holiday spectacular. Absolutely. Yes. No one's disagreeing with you. No one would. All right, who do we have?

We have Jason Manzoukas. Jason Manzoukas, first appearance in this year's countdown. We have Paul F. Tompkins. This is your third appearance in the countdown. Is that true? We're two. I think this is your Nwete special and then you're also in Fire Can Be Fun.

This is your third appearance. We have Tim Baldwin. this is your Nwete special and then you're also in Fire Can Be Fun. This is your third appearance. We have Tim Balz, his first appearance. We have Lily Sullivan's first appearance. Sean Distance first appearance. Guess who's back?

Vic McAllis. Guess who's also back? Carl Tardis. We have Drew Tarver, his first appear. First, I think maybe only episode eligible. Lisa Gilroy is back. Dan Lippert, Gil Azari and Will Hines. Wow.

That's a murderers row. Stacked. Now, this was so long ago, I'm trying to remember details about it. I think this was the one, maybe it was the one before this, and I've talked about this last time, but I think this was the one where I wrote to everyone

telling them what time to show up, and I forgot to CC Will, even though he was on the schedule. Yes. And I kept going like, where the fuck is Will? He's a guy who always, he likes to show up at the beginning and hear everything, even if he's at the end.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I kept going, where's Will? Is he okay? Is he okay? And then I checked the email and I never CC'd him on it. And I texted him frantically like, hey, we're doing this episode right now. Can you come by? And he did.

I think that's this one, maybe. It reminds me as many things do of when Joseph and Mary lost their Lord in the temple. Yes. And he was doing his teachings, even as a child. A lot like how we lost Cool Up's sister in the Disney store at Disneyland once. In the store?

Yeah, in downtown Disney. Is that where she ended up being or you were in the store and then she disappeared? We were in the store, we suddenly couldn't find her. We searched what we thought was the entire store but it's so huge that we could never find her. And then the people at the store said, usually if we put out like an announcement over the intercom,

she's probably somewhere in the store. And so we finally found her and Cool Up was crying and crying because we were in charge of her. She was young. She was like 10 or something. We were in charge of her for a week or something. Did they do the announcement? They did the announcement and said, go to this part of the store.

Right. And they did, and that's where we found her. Thank Christ. Thank Christ. Can you imagine if she was still there? And what if she was, she was so young, what if they sold her as a doll? Well, yeah, that would be bad.

I mean- But I was thinking she'd be raised as a Disney store employee. No, no, no. And that would be the only culture she knew. No, check this out. This is a picture of her. She looks exactly like Mickey Mouse.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. She'd be sold as a doll. Yeah. It's unfortunate for Carrie. All hairy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she looks. All hairy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she looks like a rat, not like Mickey Mouse, but.

Like if Mickey Mouse was real. Yeah, exactly. Can you imagine if Mickey Mouse was real? With his Caucasian face. And his clothes. Yeah. And his stupid ass voice, woo hoo!

Shut the fuck up. Mickey Mouse was reporting to me right now, you know what I'm saying? I'd say Shut the fuck up. Mickey Mouse was in front of me right now, you know what I'm saying? I'd say shut the fuck up. Get the fuck out of my face. So here's the other thing I wanted to ask. Yeah, please. Is this the first appearance of Fred Guinness?

I can't recall. Is it only a year ago? I don't know. This is the first clip we're going to hear. The first appearance ever? I don't think that it is. Let me look it up. I can't remember.

Why am I bothering to chime in? Yeah. I don't fucking know. No, you were on the 14th anniversary show. Anniversary show. In April of that year. Year. And then you also did an episode in July of that year.

This is your third appearance as Fred Guinness. Now Fred Guinness was, I think we talked about this on last year's countdown. This was, we just got to talking about, you had planned to do someone else, but then we got to talking about the Guinness Book of World Records and then called you as the keeper of them, Fred Guinness.

So this is a character who's only appeared on the phone, via phone. Yeah, it came up spontaneously and then I just didn't even bother doing. I think at the first break I was like, yeah, let me just do this. Let me just keep doing this. And you've, we've heard from him on tour now,

the first Los Angeles show, you were in Atlanta, was it? Yes, I was in Atlanta. And you were filming something, right? Yes, yeah. And so, but you wanted to be on it, so you did it all from Zoom, via Zoom, which was fun. And then this last Los Angeles show, we pimped you into doing him.

That's right. And you went off stage and did him for a bit, which was very fun. And one of the keys to Fred Guinness as a character is that I can never quite remember what the voice sounds like. You'll hear that in this clip. Absolutely. the keys to Fred Guinness as a character is that I can never quite remember what the voice sounds like. You'll hear that in this clip. Absolutely.

Wouldn't be Fred Guinness without it. Mm-hmm. Then we're gonna hear a clip of Tim Balz, whom you may know from The Righteous Gemstones. He plays Edie Patterson. We mentioned Edie before, plays Edie's husband on the show. Edie is the daughter of the gemstone,

of the head of the family, Papa Gemstone. Tim is on that show. This is his first appearance on the Countdown. He plays the character Randy Snuts, who has his own podcast on CBB World called Hey Randy. We're gonna hear from him talking about gift ideas. He's interrupted by Lily, who plays the devious Carissa,

Randy's on and off again girlfriend. JVS on Go Plus Us. JVS on Go Plus Us. And then we, let's see, Sean Distin plays Room Tone Tony. We're not gonna hear that clip. We have- The name Room Tone Tony really makes me laugh

every time I hear it. Vic plays my lawyer, Terry Alamand. Yes. Vic also played on this most recent Christmas episode. We have Carl Tart was playing Shohei Otani. Um. Um. Then we're gonna hear Drew and Lisa playing

the Pigshit Twins. The Pigshit Twins are back. and Lisa playing the pig shit twins. The pig shit twins are back. We don't hear from Dan Lippert playing Dr. Marty Goldstein. We don't hear Will doing Harvey the Devil. We are gonna- Harvey the Devil. We are gonna hear Gillazari doing Ned Bellinella,

the busiest man in the world. So let's hear these clips. This is what you picked for your number six. Number six. Jason, always a pleasure to see you, but we do have to get to our first guest. That's all right. You know, well, am I calling him?

Is he, or is, I have to call, okay, let's call his number. I just have a random sequence of numbers here that I. Beep, boop, beep. You don't have to say the beeps along with the beeps. I'm so sorry. Are there beeps being put in in post? Yes, in post. I don't know how much post you do for this show.

No, we're out of, our post budget. We're totally empty. Really? The coffers are empty. Is that why you started the GoFundMe for finishing funds? Yes. Oh yeah, let me press the last number. Okay, it's ringing. It's ringing.

Is he gonna pick up? Oh man, are we being ghosted? I guess he's not there. I bet we're being ghosted. Fred Green is here. Oh, Fred. Yeah. Fred Guinness?

That's me, you got him. Hey Fred, it's Scott Ackerman of Comedy Bang Bang. Scotty, what is going on my man? What is going on? It's so good to talk to you. It's good to talk to you. Listen, if my voice sounds a little bit different because I don't remember it.

That's okay, that happens to the best of us. We wake up, we don't remember how we talk. It's so great to talk to you. Jason Mandukas is here with me as well. J-Man! How are you pal? Great to see you. Great to talk to you. That's right, but I feel like I could here with me as well. J-Man! How are you, pal? Great to see you. Great to see you. Or rather talk to you.

That's right. But I feel like I could see you clear as day. You as well, though. Your voice evokes just even like a sartorial flair that I think is impressive. Real. You know, no one's ever said that to me before. Oh, are you kidding? I'm a real when I do the way I dress, my style, I guess, could best be described as basic bitch. So what is that you know

You know like I wear polo shirts and khakis. Oh sure, you know what I mean play polo. I don't play polo Oh, okay. Yeah, you should be allowed to wear the shirts then I agree. It's stolen valor From from Ralph Lauren The most famous polo player in the world. Did he play polo even or is he just a guy who was like, you'd look good in this? I think it was, you know how when you were a kid and you got, you would draw like a, if you drew, you drew like the same thing over and over again, right? Like you had your own- Because you got good at that. Yeah, you got good at that. And I think that Ralph Lauren probably just drew a polo guy and then he was like, I gotta make this a company. And was it a polo shirt because

did the shirt style exist and then he's the first guy to put a polo horse on it? No, I believe that the the polo shirt predates Ralph Lauren's existence. His very existence? Yes. Really? Before he was even just a gleam in his daddy's nutsack? Before he was Ralph Lauren, when he was Ralph, I believe was his daddy's nuts. I was Ralph Lauren when he was Ralph I believe live shit. That's right. That's right. He changed his day. Really? Oh, yeah He were actually he hold the polisher it holds the record for shirt being in existence Before Ralph Lauren the Guinness record. Yep But that's I totally forgot that's part of your thing. I enjoy talking to you so much

Dropping records on us from the beginning here guy, right? That's right. You're Fred Guinness And you are the owner and proprietor or just the proprietor? I'm the owner proprietor chief cook at bottle washer of the Guinness Book of World Records That's right. And you're the guy who knows them all and gives that information to all of us in book form. That's right. And I think that, you know, for kids from age, I want to say reading, no, I would say reading to 13. Yeah, reading age, whatever that happens to be, three, four, five, to 13. 13. And then it's like, uh, people are not interested in it.

And I do have some sad news. Sorry, Jason. Do you know, please go ahead. I said, it's hard with these transatlantic connections, but, uh, sad news, the two, uh, fat cowboys on the motorcycles just died. Oh, no, no, I love them. Just now. I love those guys. It was this morning. This morning? Is that what you're calling?

Oh, I called you. Are you calling? You called me. I called you. You called me. He'd kill us if we had a chance. Oh, that's very sad news indeed. They captured the hearts of everybody who picked up the Guinness book of world records. Everyone loved them. They'd go to that page first. And, uh, you know, they were, it's really sad. What was their record? I don't even remember.

Was it fattest guys? It was fattest twins. They were twins. Twans. So the motorcycles had nothing to do with it. No, but they did figure into their deaths. Oh, what happened to them? They were chased by Bob Ross. Oh no. They were, they, figure into their deaths. Oh, what happened to them? They were chased by Bob Ross.

Oh no! They got Princess Died? Oh my god. They got Princess Died? They wanted one more picture? Ever since they were in the Guinness Book, they were hounded by the press for years and years and years. Never were able to snap another picture

because I've never seen a different one. No, because those motorcycles were fat. Oh my God. Yeah. Guys, can I be honest with you? What's going on, Fred? The records game has gotten me down. Whoa.

No, not during Christmas. It used to be like you had a freak that had really long curly fingernails. Yeah. But okay. You need to be visited by three ghosts or something. Why, I'm not a bad guy. You need to find, no, but you need to find... I just don't like my job.

You need to find... Jesus Christ. Everyone that doesn't like their job during Christmas, three ghosts. Jesus Christ. You need to find the joy of records again. Well... That's the journey you need to go on.

I mean, one of the things that does give me joy, and I'm ashamed to say this, is of course, the dark records. That's right. We talked about those last time, the dark records. Yes. These are the records in the, it's a separate tone that only you have access to. We have a Guinness Black Book,

which we keep under lock and key. Right. But we do record these records. You must. You have to. They're records. Yeah. That's our very business.

Yeah. It's our raise all debt. What are some of the dark records again? Well, there's something that are in-house. Of course we had most homicides committed by an employee of Guinness, which I'm sorry to say has just been broken. Oh no. No, no.

It would happen both times. There was an employee named Ken. He stole a sightseeing bus. Like one of the TMZ type ones? But in Ireland? Yes, TMZ Ireland. TMZ. Who do they cover? Bono? Bono, the rest, Bob Geldof.

Of course, you know, big commitments. Yeah, the commitments. There's a big lot of time in their hands now with Shane McGowan passing. They have no commitments. Great. Uncommittment. Are you still there? Hello.

Are you still there? I felt like I was getting an echo. So Ken stole a sightseeing bus and it was one of those days where it was bring your daughter to the sightseeing bus. Oh no. So it was double the amount of people. Oh boy. And all of them had daughters.

Yes, they all had daughters. You couldn't get on the bus if you didn't have a daughter. Half adults, half daughters. They took DNA tests? They took DNA tests. You had to, you had to. So you couldn't just show up with a. No, you couldn't even be adopted. You had to do paternity tests with DNA tests.

And did any of them come as one hundred percent that bitch? But that's fun. It is fun. It's fun. I don't know what you heard about me, but I'm the motherfucking Randy. Yeah, Randy Stutz is here. Hi, Randy. What's going on? What's going on, Randy? Let's get it. Randy, great to have you back on the show. It's been a while. Yeah, it's great to be here.

It's honestly a better reception than normal. You know, I know I'm not everybody's cup of tea, but when I am, people be slurping. Yeah. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! What's going on during the holidays? What does a Randy Snuts do during the holiday season?

I mean, I shut it down. Show whoop-de-do. I digger-y-duck. I mean, I work as hard as I can for 11 months, and then December 1st, I shut it down and I just start looking for gifts for friends and family. Oh, good. Okay, so you have plenty of time to do that.

Yeah, absolutely. So are you ahead of the game now? I'd say, I mean, what day is it? When is this coming out? Monday. Yeah, so I'm like Mondays deep into it. I don't wanna assign a figure. But yeah, I'm Mondays deep into it.

But I came on specifically, I think for the listeners, because I came up with a top 10 list. Oh, you have a feature. Oh, wow. So Fred had a feature. You have a feature. This is great. I have a feature.

Top 10 Christmas gifts for Scott Aukerman when you're on a budget. Whoa. Okay, I appreciate that, because I'm very hard to shop for. I imagine. Why are you so hard to shop for? Because anything I want, I buy, and I already have it. Well, most of these gifts are priceless.

Oh, okay. Oh, really? So you can't find these in stores. Okay. But it's on a budget. Yeah, it's on a budget. Budget of priceless. Yeah. I mean, it's from me. Yeah. And some of these you absolutely can find in stores. Okay.

It's like the first one, number one. Oh, this is number 10. I'm going from 10 down to one. Oh, so you're in descending order. Subscription to musical theater magazine. Which you can basically get for free because no one's trying to buy this thing. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

Wait, is that a real magazine? You should buy the magazine. You should buy the entire entity. Yeah, buy them out, yeah. And then only cover my own musicals. Yeah. Like am out. Yeah. And then only cover my own musicals. Yeah. Like Hearst. And then suddenly I have like a big

Hickman Castle. Yeah. Get yourself a rosebud situation. Oh, I thought that you had a musical called Hearst. Yes, I am thinking about doing a musical version of Citizen Kane. Just got Hearst with an exclamation point. Why the fuck not?

I mean, I believe that that could be a hit. Yeah. Look at this convo that I just got started. It caught fire. Thanks to my gift idea. Sure. All right. What's number nine, Randy? I'm sensing these are all slams

because you made fun of the fact that I like musicals. No way. Don't be so cynical, Scott. These are not all slams. These are thoughtful things. What's your number nine then? Okay, number nine. A DIY kit to turn your bathroom sink into a urinal.

Can you guess what it is? What the DIY kit is? Yeah. I don't have no idea. Some ice? Yeah, it's a big bag of ice. Great. Cause nothing is stopping you from pissing

in your bathroom sink, except a big bag of ice. Well, that's the thing is sinks are about penis high, if you're tall enough. Yeah, wait a minute. And toilets are lower. It's like, why do I have to bend over to get to you? You come to me. Bend over.

Do you bend over to piss in a toilet? So you bend over and then with your hand, you push your penis back toward the toilet. Are you getting too close? Stand up and demonstrate what you mean. Sir, sir. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah, that's what I thought.

So you hold on to the back of the toilet. You bend over, you hold on to the back of the toilet. Exactly, if you're a gentleman. So that your penis just points into the toilet. Yeah, otherwise it goes all over the place. Oh, yeah. If you wanna truly aim it in there. What's number eight, Randy?

All right, number eight. Now this one obviously is, you know, you can't find this in stores. I made it myself. It's a coupon that says, Scott, I'll let you talk to me for a half hour about hentai. Hmm.

I still don't even know what hentai is. Bullshit. Wow. Never have I ever. You have to explain it to me one day. what hentai is. Bullshit. Wow. Never have I ever. You have to explain it to me one day. What hentai is? Yeah. It's the stuff you jack off to.

It's the stuff that's on your computer monitor over there. You're about to receive a mean one now. Oh no. What number are we at? Let's go. We're at, let's see. This is number five. OK, a homemade booklet of compliments. Like you take really good selfies for someone who's Gen X.

That's savage. Not sure what the what the the the slam is there. Is that how old I am? It's actually that was actually a nice one. Oh, OK. That was a good one. All right. See, I was trying to be mean, I can't because our friendship is so deep.

It is, it truly is. I see you maybe twice a month. There is a slam in there. Twice a month would be too much. There is a slam in there that you're old. In being that you're so old, it is impressive that you take good selfies. I guess so, yeah.

Not incredibly old, I would say. What's number four? Shockingly old. Knock, knock. What, oh. Oh, Randy? Carissa, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? This is so crazy.

I'm hanging out with my boys. Oh my God, I was just bringing Scott this big plate of cat puke taquitos. Oh, no thank you. Cat puke taquitos? It's your favorite extra pukey Did that woman say can knock can knock? She may have this is Chris by the way, and that yeah my ex-girlfriend

Oh ex now is that what your relationship status is? Yeah, obviously God you are looking so hot today Scott Thank you. I guess Scott don't fall for this. She's just doing this to piss me off. No offense. You are looking so hot today, Scott. Thank you, I guess. Scott, don't fall for this. She's just doing this to piss me off. No offense. You are looking good today. Thank you. Yeah, I take you at your word. I look okay.

I wish I could see. What's going on, Chris? What are you here just to give me a gift? It is the holiday season. It's great to see you. So what do you do? I'm a hickory dog. Exactly, you and I don't know each other all that well.

Scott, you don't have to play dumb. We've been dating for about a year now. What? Whoa. You've gotta be kidding me. Yeah, it's really serious, isn't it, Scott? I don't know that I would characterize it that way. Scott, don't dance around the issue, all right? Like, honesty is the best policy,

and if you wanna remain friends with me, you gotta hold up to it. Randy looks pissed. Dude, I am filming. Randy looks fucking pissed, dude. Look at my shoulders. Oh my God. His body language is so tight.

It's gotten so tight. I'm standing on my tippy toes. You pissed me off now. My shoulders are locked. Chris. I'm on my tippy toes. Okay, Randy. Breathing shallow. Oh my God, he's so angry. I don't know that Chris and I took your virginity. He was the first 85 year old I ever took the virginity.

Oh my god congrats and you may have set a record. I'm actually applying for my own Guinness record. Is that so, lady? Yeah. What is it going to be? The Karissa, by the way. My name is Karissa. Strongest gag Greek flex. Meaning that you gag really easily or that you don't gag?

No, opposite. I don't gag. Oh, wow. Okay. You know that stuff. That can be just- You don't have to play dumb. It's over, Carissa. No, don't get too worked up because remember what your doctor said,

you could die at any time. You could die at any time? You could die at and die. Carissa, show some respect. I am. No, I'm firmly on Scott's side. He's sticking up for our friendship and he's breaking up with you

because he sees that it's devastating me. So are you guys back together now? I don't know, Randy, do you wanna get back together? I mean, it's been fun with Scott and all, but it's kind of been like weekend at Bernie's. Like, I'm scared. It's a real load around. So disrespectful.

I mean. Thank you, Randy. She said more disrespectful stuff to my face for sure. Right. So you saying it to Scott's face means that maybe we can get back together as long as you don't say that kind of stuff to my face. Wow, this is very sweet. Yeah, we've had so many wonderful Christmases together, Randy, like remember that time I kidnapped your mom?

As a gift? That's a gift. Well, yeah, it was the only thing that got me and my mom back together, not sexually. Right, yeah, it was the only thing that got me and my mom back together. Not sexually. Right, right. Look at Scott. You were estranged at the time. Yeah, we were estranged.

Right. I wasn't looking for strange. We were estranged. Right, yeah, I got it. Okay, good. You've never had sex with your mother. You keep qualifying that you haven't had sex with your mother in a way that makes it now feel to me

as though you absolutely. I haven't heard the recent episodes of your show. Have you talked about you banging your mother recently or something? What the hell? You need to tune in. I'm not talking about that. Oh my God, I can't believe it.

What's that? All those times that we were going to sleep and you would put on CBB World and fall asleep. It's the only thing I could fall asleep to. That and eat prey dunk. Well, I'm glad you guys are back together. Randy, do you have any more gift ideas to close out the, because we're coming up on a break.

I have a good idea. What's that? A big box full of hair. Don't need one. To be honest, I don't know if I want to say these because these were on the meaner side and were- Say them. Go ahead.

What about my voice is so- I hate it right now. I want you to stop. So I wouldn't- Why? I would- It sort of implies something, doesn't it? If someone talks like that, when you hear someone. Well, what does it imply?

When you hear someone talk with like the radio voice in real life, what does that imply? That they work on the radio? Oh yeah, I guess so. How did that get started? And now I understand why you wouldn't want to be around them. Yeah. Yeah, I guess it's like you had your broadcaster voice,

this is me being neutral and telling you the news in an authoritative sounding way. Then there's a way to talk about morphing technology that- Morphing technology. Then I think when it was like FM radio, it was like, we got smooth sounds coming at you. You had to have a smooth sounding voice. People's hi-fi systems were better.

You heard more bass. Yeah. No trouble. No, it's all about the bass. You know that she and her husband have side-by-side toilets in their bathroom? Hmm, I don't like that. I don't like it at all.

who's gonna do that to you? A precedent has been set. This is very exciting. We have our number five episode and it's episode 853. This is exciting because this is in the middle of the eight hundreds. Yep. From March 4th of this year.

And we almost March 4th. Yes, March 4th unto this year. And we almost March 4th. Yes, March 4th unto death. Yep. You're reading my mind. We almost March 4th unto death. This is an episode called the Calvin's Triplets Court Case. I feel like I know who's in this one.

Do you? List off who might be in this. Um... Yeah. I think that it's Roach. Okay, sure. And also, of course, if you're going to do Roach. If you know the Calvin striplets,

you know that Taron Killam, who we talked about earlier on our last episode, plays Bever Hopox. You know this. You know Paul Britton plays Chico Hands. You know that. And you know Ryan Gull plays Bisby St. Hancock, collectively known as the Calvin's triplets.

But this is an interesting one because Jason Manzoukas is also on this episode. This has never happened before. Here's how this came about because normally all of the Calvins, first it was the Calvin's twins where it was just Taron and Paul and I. And then they love Ryan and said,

Hey, can Ryan be part of it? And he became, first he was an honorary Calvin's. And then I think he actually ended up being related to them. He's a Calvin's triplet, but here, but it's only just been me and those two or three comedians doing all of the, and these episodes, by the way, started over a decade ago. Jesus Christ.

Paul and Taryn came in to do an episode together and they said, what do you wanna do? And I think Paul Britton said like, oh, I had an idea of people who were promoters for horse fights. And Taron said, great. And then that's all that was discussed. And that first episode is very, very funny.

It's all about horse fighting and just spawned all of these sequels. I think this is maybe the eighth one or something like this. We try to do one every year, every couple of years. They're very funny. But Jason has never done any of these. And the way this came about is much like

the Halloween episode, I had Jason scheduled for a show. And then I was looking for people to be on with us and finally got Taron. And then I said like, oh, you know what? I wonder if Paul and Ryan are also available. And this is again, like 12 hours before. Exactly what you described as happening with the Halloween episode.

They both happened to be available. And they said, let's do a Calvin's thing and we'll have Jason there. This is wild. It was crazy. This is picking up on threads from the last Calvin's Triplets episode where we meet their rivals, the Baxter FKA Decker Triplets.

Oh. You'll hear a little bit of that in here, but this is a very funny episode. So let's hear it. This is your choice for episode number five. Number five. Please welcome him back. Jason Manzoukas is here.

Thrilled, thrilled to be here, Scott. So thrilled to have you, Jason. And we do need to get to our guests. I would love to. Here on the show. Is that all right? I guess now, please. Now? Yes! Immediately, let's get to them.

What do you say? Scott, I am literally begging. Have you ever met these gentlemen before? I don't think I have. Okay, well. Or if I have, it was in some sort of cacophonous scenario where there was maybe a dozen people crammed into a room. Yeah, possibly.

They are the, look, I've said it before, they're not only the owners, they are the proprietors of a wonderful business out there. It's franchised in California and Florida. They have two locations. They are, of course, the owners and proprietors of the Calvin's Family Bee Honey Taffy Farm and Horsefightin' Ranch. They've been on this show now for, God, I want to say a good 10 years, at least a decade. I'm going to look up their first appearance. It's incredible to have them back. They have not been on in two years, and I think a lot has gone on in the intervening months.

But please welcome back to the show, Bever Hopehawk's Chico Hands and Busby St. Hancock. Scott Lee! Hello! Scott Lee, my boy. How are you? How are you, Scott? How we doing? Good to see you, Scott. We're here.

Yes. Welcome back to the hotel, Scottly-Ockley. Thank you so much, I appreciate that. And this is Jason Mandukas, by the way, I don't know if you've ever met him. Huge fan. Oh, wow, thank you. Enormous fan.

Thanks so much. Big fan, Jason. Sunday nights are Mandukas nights in our house. Thank you, wow. It's wonderful to have you guys back on the program, it's been a couple of years, I know you've been embroiled in a lawsuit for a couple of years.

We can catch up about that. You own a ranch where... Horse fighting, bee honey, taffy, family gathering. That's right. So horses, you have horse... Well, there's horse fights. That's definitely the core of the business. It is the, it is the international premiere professional horse boxing,

uh, championship epicenter. To the death. Epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi epi to the death. And you also sell taffy, of course, and taffy season, by the way, ended in November 1st. October. Yeah, so. Although we did, we extended one of our flavors. Which flavor did you extend? Well, the back story is we lost

one of our favorite horses this year. I'm so sorry. We lost. Lost the fight or? Cinnaman. So, Cinnaman is gone, what happened? Well, so sinner, we wake up that morning, sinner, sinner. Sinner, cinnamon, well, we're on a different relationship

level with sinner, sinner. And we go out to a bar, number 30, and oh God, have you ever heard of that horses can tear themselves apart? What? No. Self-tearing? Yup.

Well, they get to a place where they know it's time and a horse will tear itself apart, limb from limb. Wow. No. Tear out, start at the face. How? You move down. How?

How? They can't really bend those. How can they get there, explain? Like physically, right? Are there moves prehensile? With all due respect, Mr. Manzoukis. I really mean this with all due respect. So two due respects at each other right now.

Yes. I take your due respect and I put it in my respect bank. Dual, dual, dual. Oh, a dual respect? A dual of due respect. A dual of due respect. All due respect. I challenge you to a duel of respect.

Who has more respect for the other? That's the question. I can't wait to find out. I respect you. I watch you every Sunday night. Ooh, Bisbee's in the lead. Sir, I respect you, your work, and your commitment to the natural world. And J.M., not Barry, comes back.

I bow to you and I lick your Adidas. Oh, no! Oh, I can't believe it! Bisbee's second move pulls lick your Adidas. Oh no, I can't believe it. The Bismuth, second move, pulls out the Adidas lick. He's licking. Licking down the line. Oh no, he's down to two stripes.

There was three Adidas stripes, now he's down to two. That's not Adidas anymore. This is making me uncomfortable, I need to bow out. One and a half. Yeah. I see, I see. Bismuth takes it, nobody's the old gentleman more respectful than old Bismuth Saint Anne Gallagher.

I'll respect anybody all the way to the bank. Down to the soles of their feet. Anyway, tore himself apart. He tore himself apart. Had never seen a horse do it like that for a long time. I'm so sorry. That's what Tennessee Williams is referencing. You're tearing me apart like a horse does

when it knows it's time. That was the off Broadway line of Donald. Okay, I thought that was the room. You're tearing me apart, Lisa? Yes, it's also the room. The room was based on a Tennessee word. Was it really? Tommy Wiseau really drew a lot of inspiration

from a streetcar named Desire. We know, he's our cousin. Lisa, what? We've never talked about this. Really? That's the most boring part of this. Yes. I honestly agree.

Strangely enough, he's the one that introduced us into coffin sleeping. That's right. You know, when we last saw you guys, it was a couple of years back and it was right after taffy season. It was right before Thanksgiving, I believe. And you were in an odd situation because just to catch people up on this, this is

the tail end of COVID and people were buying a lot of Ivermectin, which is a horse dewormer, which was affecting your business because the worms were so prevalent in your horses that they would escape from the horses. They would turn into giant tremor size, grabboids worms. And then you, you had seen chop Bisbee and you were chopping them in half, which then doubled the amount of worms exponentially. And then something really strange happened, which is these three triplets, the Baxter FKA Decker triplets, bought the surrounding land around your farm, making it inaccessible to

anyone coming in, other than a small child on a large drone. And... And... And... You know what I would love it, Scott? I feel like you're rushing through this. Could you just go slowly? Could you just really break it down for us?

Because I only say this because it's so simple. It's so easy to understand. It's so simple. Tail as old as time. And people just need... It's so easy to understand. It's so simple. Tail as old as time. And people just need to. It's relatable. They just need to hear it once, and it's just boom, it's in there.

It's very easy to understand. You have two different horse fighting ranches, one in Florida, one in California. Correct. You wanted to. Tampa. Tampa. You wanted to buy the land in between the two.

A thin little strip. A thin little strip, that's all. Like a Brazilian. But you wanted to connect the two horse fighting. And so you would have the longest horse fighting ranch in existence. That's right. And before you could do this.

Who holds that distinction now? Do we know? The Baxter half in a deca triplets. Oh wow. Because they're in a circle. They're in a horse anus size circle around you. Horse anus size. So it never ends.

So that's technically infinite. That circle's longer than a straight line. You learn that in geometry class. And when we did our last episode, we got them on the phone because they own the Baxter FKA deco triplets, pig wrestling and caramel country mart. I hated hearing their voices. Yep, they were on the phone with us

and we left a message for them, but you offered to have a sit down with them along with Jeff Cohen, the entertainment lawyer, Chunk, he played in Goonies. Great lawyer. So whatever happened with that? Did you do the sit down? Did any of this actually take place?

Oh, we did. Oh yes. Yes. It happened. It was long. Yeah. It was too long. That's where we'd be.

We would have been here sooner. Yeah. You know, you're not- Because I asked you to come to the next episode. Couldn't do it. Yeah. Couldn't do it. It was in court.

That's right. Wow. So you've been in court this entire time for over two years. So what was the result of it, if I may ask, is the court case over? Well, I remember that court case very well. I remember it as if it were yesterday. Are we? Oi, object!

You can't object. No, you can't object. It was crazy. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What? That's all you remember from it? Well, Bisbee kept objecting and he was not permitted to do it. It's what made the case take so long. That's right.

I remember the judge came in, sat down. Oh, I remember. I remember what the judge said. Well, this is open and shut. I remember that. All right, all right, everybody take your seat. It should be quick. This is open and shut.

I got him, Jack. Pipe down. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Yeah, and two years later. Wow. It was open and shut in whose favor? How did he rule at the end of the two years? They won. The Baxters won. The Baxters won. Hazelates.

It truly was open and shut. So thank goodness you were objecting so much. Yeah, well, I had to eventually, though. He just said, ruling in favor of the backster, formerly known as the Dex. That's what the judge said? Well, do you guys remember? I remember. Oh, I remember.

I rule in favor of the backster. I have, Jack. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. You sound so defeated. Yeah. You knew it was over. I knew, I could only, I mean, we were, they'd bring in Jersey mics. Oh, well that's good. So wait, you got free Jersey mics every day? No, it was over. I knew I could only, I mean we were, they'd bring in Jersey mics.

Oh, that's good. So wait, you got free Jersey mics every day? No, it was free. So the pastor would know, you'd pay for it. Yep. The judge made us Venmo him. But yeah. After the fact, which we were like, oh no. Yeah. Oh, so when he made his ruling. Oh no.

One. We can't afford this. We'd already eaten it. We'd been through two taffy seasons and we ain't paid taxes on none of it because we've been here in court. And we thought the business was over and done for. And that's when the most incredible thing happened.

What happened? What? Should we just listen to it? Sure. Sure. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Please no more objections. I won't even I find in favor the Baxter Decker triplets. Mams Mams Mams we check their pulse We oh Wait, are you a pre-cock judge? How did you know that that? Oh wait, I'm not here

Scott what were you doing? We, what were you doing there? We were so glad you showed up to support us. That was the best thing that happened to us. Scott. I came one day and I wanted to be incognito. We don't have money, we didn't win the case. Chung won't talk to us so much as John's sealed shut with Taffy, but at least we have a friend.

Scottly Ockland. Did you go because you knew there'd be Jersey Mikes and you loved it? Yeah, I be Jersey Mikes and you loved it? Yeah, I love Jersey Mikes. I love any JM, Barry, Jersey Mikes, Manzoukas. One of your favorite, top three Mikes. That's true, yeah. Tyson's Tattoo is number one.

Sure, of course, yeah. Well, what happened then? Well, I think you should remember more than any of us, guys, you were there. Doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle- We love you, this is the best day! Queda, Candide, Tanya... We win the case, and our hero, Scott Ockley, comes to wish us well! Scott Ockley! Scott Ockley and Chunk in one room? Yes, I know, it's crazy.

Just, but anyway, I don't mean to disrupt the trial, Judge. Uh, no, it's over. I have to go home. Wait, you haven't been home this whole time? I object. Oh, I'm sitting back down. Lululululu. Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah, that was so interesting.

Scott, when we've come back from the flashback, your face is covered in lipstick kisses. Yeah, well, as I'm remembering, I'm doing what they did to me with my own, with my first. It really seemed like those triplets. Yeah, they love me. Yeah, the Baxter triplets.

We were unsure of your allegiance there for a moment, Scott. So at a certain point, it looked like the judge thought they were about to die or were dead. And then they were okay, but then they did die. So are they dead? What actually, oh, I was there. That's right.

I'm remembering it now. Doodledoo. Doodledoo. Oh, Stata, I need to come and give you more kisses. Oh, no. What happened to? Mon dieu! Oh no! She is-

Is she- Is it falling for the dead? No! My sisters! My sisters! I've got a Jersey Mike's delivery here Oh, yeah, that's for me. Oh, he said Jason He's here in the courtroom and he's got oh, I. Someone's at the door.

Don't answer. No, no, do answer. Let him wait. All right, let me get the door here. Wait, you're plugged in, you're plugged in. Oh. Oh my God, it's, it's Chunk. Jeff Cohn.

Jeff. Jeff. He's doing the truffle shuffle. Oh. Oh. Here he goes. And he just dropped off a piece of paper and... Where he going? Chuck! Come on back! And he carries that statue with the upside down penis everywhere he goes.

Everywhere he goes. Everywhere he goes. Okay, well, let me take a look at this. Take it out of the envelope. And let's see, the last will and testament of the Baxter FKA Decker driplets. Boo! Boo! Boo!

Boo! Boo! Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait. Boo, it'd be good, it might be good. It might be good. Brothers, I feel like maybe we should hear this will. And to be fair to the podcast audience and all participants, we'll hand it around the table paragraph by paragraph.

It only makes sense. As done traditionally. It's the only way to read a will. All right, let's read this will. Here we are. The last will in testament of the Baxter FKA Decker triplets. If you are reading this, you are the executor of our will. Whoa! Oh my God, that was incredible.

Whoa! Wow! I had no idea. That's breaking news. Well, hold on, the sentence is not done. Oh. Even if it's passed around a table. Oh, yeah, that was gonna be my question.

Wow. Because you were almost on the horn to read the whole thing by yourself, Scott. No, no, no. Ha ha ha ha. Just saying. I really, I want to say, by the way, this is Queeda. You're a very good public speaker because you look down at it and then you look up at us.

And then you gather the words and you look back at us. Make eye contact. I can't do that. That's how they teach you in cold reading class. I really, I want to say, by the way, this is Queeda talking. Oh, I bet this was dictated. Yeah, well, it says down at the bottom,

dictated, not read. Hey, come on, these are athletes. Come on. Enough of this. Enough of some respect. Dirty mouth talk. Now stop with this guy. I really, I want to say, and this is Quita, by the way,

that the times I spent with you in the courtroom for the past two years, Beaver, Chico and Bisbee, were the best times of my life. Oh, wow. Okay, now I'm passing it over to Bisbee here. I'll take it over from here, page two. Do you remember that time in court where the judge asked us all to take a moment

and reflect upon what has happened between our two families. Well, I did take some time and I looked over at you, Bisbee. Well, whoa. God, you're amazing. If I could leave it to just you, I would, but I can't, so I have to. new page. So the last word on the other page was to, and then this was the second O. It was like a long to. It was to.

Oh, okay, it was a bad idea, I was gonna take issue, but I have to leave it to, and it's like, but what do you, so it's not hyphenated to, but it's an also. No, it's also. It's an also to. It's not, I have to leave it as well. Directly to, yes.

I see. I have to leave it to well. Directly to you. Yes. I see. I have to leave it to... To... As well. As well, I would like to regular... 102. You're a lawyer, so you're used to parsing language like this. So that's why we're interrupting so much. It's very complicated and dense, but I'll continue.

Two, but I want to, but I'm not sure if I can because, and by the way, this is Candida talking now. It's switched to another. In the middle of, this is like switching tenses in between. between... That's right. I remember that day in the courtroom when I looked over at the judge plaintively and I considered what would happen if I stood up right now and said your honor I would like to drop the case. What? Candida was considering dropping the case. Wow I wonder how Queda felt about this. We didn't even find out what Queda was talking about. What Candida was considering dropping the case? Wow, I wonder how quita felt about this guy We didn't even find out what quita was talking about Strange but I mean this is the way they're writing it. Do you want to pass it off now? It's a no, there's a little bit more if you don't remember the moment. I'm talking about

Perhaps you could go back in your minds. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. It's written diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle.

Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle.

Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle doodle. Diddle diddle in my pants. And if you do go back. It's all hazy in here. Chances are, if you don't finish reading this will you will be stuck in a nether region. Oh no.

Between the past and the present. No. What? By the way, nether regions we shouldn't talk about. These are athletes. I can hear the dick jokes from in this dimension! He's stuck in undefined time? Yeah, in the past, heretofore in this legal document referenced as the behind times,

or the present time heretofore moving forward in this whole document, now, if hereunto these Baxter Decker sisters, heretofore known as the Party of Sisters, will bequeath all findings and keepers, heaven forbid some catastrophe effect should happen to them, and they no longer being of sound mind or body able to execute their estate henceforth unto them, will bequeath all said good earthly deeds unto the Calvin's triplets heretofore known as party of brothers. Said sisters will then transfer all power legally henceforth in perpetuity and all known universes to brothers if only they are able to retrieve Chico from previous behind times

reference nether regions, page four. Oh my god. Oh wow. So much on that page. Wow. I wish Chico wasn't stuck in between these two worlds because that was so hard to understand. And what it does sound like. He knows legalese.

It does sound like that unless we can find a way to bring Chico back. We gotta get him back. That the transfer, that the validity of this will will forever be in doubt. I'm going after him. Wait, what? Can you do that? Oh my God! He disappeared!

Oh my God! Bishby! Bishby, that you? They're fading in and out. It's so hazy in here. It's so hazy! Are you angry? Hey? Is that you? Yeah, it's me. How are you doing?

It's a little chilly in here. Don't you agree? Come back and get a jacket for him. Yeah. Bli-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li- Thank you very much, sorry. He's cold. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We gotta get back. I've been trying, but wait. Are you shitting? There's a toilet over here.

Oh, look, I gotta use the ghost toilet? I'm not an idiot, I'm in line. You know what, I wanna see how this plays out. Oh no, you gotta read page five. I'm so sorry. I wanna read page five, it's right here in my hand, but I'm so curious to hear what they I want to see how this plays out. Oh, no, you gotta read page five. I'm so sorry. I want to read page five. It's right here in my hand, but I'm so curious to hear what they're up to. Especially now that...

It sounds like they're just waiting... Especially now that I know there's a toilet. They're just waiting in line to take turn shitting out of... Let me know when you're done! I'm done! I'm done! There's toilet paper in the cabinet! Page five. Hey, y'all. Tanya here. I guess Tanya's weighing in on this. Page five. Hey y'all, Tanya here.

Oh. I guess Tanya's weighing in on this part of it. This is good. Yeah, we haven't heard from Tanya. Being of sound mind and body and that body be banging? Oh, well, I mean, I saw her and we both saw her. Oh, it's true. It's so high.

On Friday, yeah. I do hereby swear that any and all lands, property, livestock, buildings, any other effects therein, contained therein, belong to anyone who resides in the liminal space between time. Okay, so wait, so this means that Chico and I guess now Bisbee, they own the lands, but Bever, you don't? Oh, damn. Hey guys, maybe you should continue to be in between worlds. Which cabinet is it? On the lower right, lower right.

You know what it is? I live in your right. I don't think they can hear us, but we can hear them. Oh, that makes more sense. Yeah. You're sitting on the commode on your right. Lower right. Well, how would we even get them the instructions of how to?

I don't know. I see there's about 22 more pages. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you say there's a comedy bang bang book is here in the bathroom too? I guess I might have to use that. Please don't. All right, look, let me flip through this a little bit. All right, let me see down

here. Okay, end of page 22. Therefore, the only way that you can keep this land and all of the property within is if the third triplet goes into the nether regions, they all hold hands together and recite the sacred poem that they know by heart. ["The Nether Region"] And they shall be transported with all the rights herein back to the present day and own the land. Wow. Ever. Do-do-do-do-do. back to the present day and own the land.

Wow. Ever. Wait, what was it? I don't remember! Oh, Parks! This is not the time to forget how to dissolve into the past! Wait a minute. I think I know what to do. I just saw Dune 2 the other day. Oh wow, how was it? I enjoyed it very much. Okay. And I think I'm gonna have to take one of our giant Ivermectum worms. Oh, the Graboids! Which also have the power to travel the Twix nether regions. Of

Sorry, only the worst segments. Congratulations. I mean, how does it feel? This is incredible. You're on top. Years worth of struggle. Now, you know. It only took three French women dying. It's behind you.

Can I be honest with you? Sure. I think I'm gonna miss them a little bit. Really? Well, wait a minute. There's someone coming up peeking over the hedge. They're coming up to the door. The Combi Bang Bang hedge?

That's right. It's three hooded figures. They're coming, walking to the door. The Comfy Bang Bang Hedge? That's right. It's three hooded figures. They're coming walking to the door. Hello. It's me, Tanya. Tanya, Tanya Baxter? FKA Decker? You're alive? It was all a joke. Hello. Oh my god, Kenji. We got you. Hello, you stupid triplet brothers. We wanted to see your face after you had... You goddamn son of a bitches. Wow, that's just a dirty trick. We had to take this opportunity to say to your face...

We had to. Beep! Leave a message! This was an answering machine message? Where did they go? Where did they just go? Number 5 Yes. Yeeeesssss. Number five. Yes. Yes. Can I ask a question?

Yes, please. If you were to get a blood transfusion from one person, would you then be related to that person? Yes. Right. Cause you have the same blood. You have the same blood. Yeah.

And that's what they always say. It's like, it's, it's blood. Yes. Right? Cause you have the same blood. You have the same blood, yeah. And that's what they always say. It's like, it's. It's blood. Yeah. Thicker than water. Mm-hmm. I mean, that's why that's so people are walking around

having siblings. Yeah. Or dads or moms. That's right. I, I now have 10 dads. Cause you've had 10 blood transfusions? Yeah. Or nine blood transfusions.

That's right. Yes. Yes. Why, what's wrong with your blood? It's no good in there. Gotta get it out. It sounds like if you've had nine, the problem is with you. Like in your veins maybe?

Yeah, yeah. No, I think it's something to do with the veins. That's where all the blood is, right? That's where it goes through. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing is like, it gets pumped out by the heart. Oh,'s something to do with the veins. That's where all the blood is, right? That's where it goes through. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing is like, it gets pumped out by the heart. Oh, and then it goes in the veins. Yeah.

Then where's it go? Out your fingertips? No, it just kind of like hangs out. It just goes in there. Like if I hold my hand down like this, bunch of blood is gonna get in there. And then you supposedly make more. Where's all the old stuff go?

Exactly. They've never figured this out. Do you think we're breathing it out? Probably, I guess there are blood droplets or sweating it probably. Yeah, and then vampires are going crazy in summertime. They're just going. Vampires hanging around gyms.

Smells delicious in here. Jim Croce. Jim Parsons. Old Sheldon? Jimbere. Hey, there's something we have to do before we go to a break. Yeah. We have to hear, this is your choice for number two of Don Cheadle in Ocean's Eleven.

Now when Scott says your choice, he's looking at me. This is my choice. Today's lesson, how to draw out the bluff. That much money this early in the game, I'm saying he's holding nothing better than a pair of face cards. I actually don't think Don Cheadle's in this. I don't believe so either. No, he isn't.

You know what, there's a lot of clips from Ocean's 13 or 12. He's in that too, right? Yeah, they're in that, but we said Ocean's 11 clips. Yeah, we did. So, but there are a lot of clips of him in interviews talking about Ocean's 11. Does that count?

I think it has to count. We did play him talking about how people curse him out on the street. Let's just hear this. This is behind the scenes of Ocean's 12 interview. I love it that the second movie is the one that people will just unabashedly walk up to you and go, yeah, I hated that one, that one sucked. It's like, cool. You just said that to my face. Okay. What's going on with Don Cheadle out in public? The people are being so rude to him.

Leave him alone. Leave him alone. We love Don Cheadle. Trying to live his life. Jesus Christ. God damn. Don Cheadle, come on Comedy Bang Bang. This is a safe haven for you. How many Ocean's films have you made? Yeah. Make your own. Make your own Ocean's. How many Ocean's films have you made? Yeah.

Make your own. Make your own Ocean's, make an Ocean's one where it's just you jack it off. Yeah. And send it to us. All right, well that's pretty exciting to be our number two clip. Yeah, it really is.

All right, we have to take a break. When we come back, we're gonna be hearing your episode number four, plus we're gonna hear some regarding Henry trivia and the snowman game. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang, Best of 2024, part three after this. Comedy Bang Bang, Best of 2024, part three. You demanded it. This is on demand, by the way. Yeah.

We weren't gonna do this and then- No. One fan demanded we do it and so- This person said, I demand that you do it. And then just stared at us until we broke eye contact. And that's when we knew we had lost. We were betas at that point. Yeah.

I identify as a beta, I don't care. I'll tell everybody, I'm a beta. Yeah. I long for an alpha male to be in charge of me. What's the third way? Because it goes alpha, then beta, then what's next? Gamma. Is gamma next in the alphabet?

I don't know if it's next in the alphabet. I do think it's next in the males, the alphabet of males. What is it? The Greek alphabet? And then a sigma higher than an alpha? I'm a sigma, totally. Gamma is next. I did it.

Then delta. Delta, Dawn, what's that? Flower in your pale. You have done an epic fail. An epsilon, zeta, done an epic fail. An epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, moon, nu, G, omicron. Do you think that there's a Catherine epsilon Jones?

Yeah. I hope so. Goes through the whole alphabet? Yeah. And Michael Douglas, I had to pull his name. It's been a long time since I've had to think about Michael Douglas. I know. I used to think about him all the time. Did you see him in Franklin?

I didn't, but I tell you where I did see him. Yep. At my hotel. Oh, that's right. I was in Costa Rica. And you thought- At the buffet. He should be at a nicer hotel. I mean, it was fine. I think there was a lot for the kids to do.

Oh, sure. This was not like one of the nicest hotels I've ever seen. It was in Costa Rica. And how old are his kids? I think they were pretty young. Wow. But there was like a hotel where you could like surf. But he must also have adult children

from some previous marriage. Oh, I hope so. Or hookup. I hope anyone does. If you are an actor of a certain age, I hope you have children from a previous marriage. And that's my holiday wish for you. This is exciting. We're going to get to what you've chosen to be number four, but first,

Paul has something that he wants to let us know. Indeed, I do. Harrison Ford met with a real life lawyer who had experienced a similar brain injury and personality shift after a car accident, which helped him develop the character of Henry. Wait a minute, so this thing that is so unique, it could become the premise of a movie. Yeah.

Just happened to another lawyer and they didn't base it on this guy supposedly? Well, here's the thing. When you ask, is regarding Henry realistic as other users have done, you're gonna be told compared to the real life experiences of gunshot victims like James Brady, Henry's experiences belong in a sitcom.

All of the stages of his recovery correspond neatly to the requirements of the plot. So says rogereber.com. So all the things that happens happen the way that they happened. Come on. I also have a great answer for you. This is a follow-up from previous behind the scenes

factoids or facts. I mean, factoids, you know what factoid means? What does it mean? It's a thing that sounds like it's true, but it's not. Oh, really? Now it's come to sort of mean like- Little facts. Little facts, yeah.

Oh, well. People ask, who is Linda in Regarding Henry? Yeah, who is Linda? And you know what? Rebecca Miller is the answer. Great. I have a follow-up to this. Who is Rebecca Miller? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know that, but- I know who Rebecca Miller is. She's an accomplished actress. Okay.

Yeah. So you're smarter than me. Great. Yeah, if I know that, then I'm smarter than you. What else could you possibly know? Who else would know? Did you know Michael Haley played the court clerk in Regarding Henry? I don't know either of those people.

Great. I gotta throw Regarding Henry back on. I haven't seen since opening night. I haven't seen it since opening night. I don't think I've ever seen this movie, honestly. I've seen it. It's one of those things that was like, remember when people would just go to a movie because it had someone you liked in it and it was a slightly interesting.

Yes. It would just be a drama, nothing exciting would happen in it. Absolutely, yeah. It would just be purely like a bunch of scenes of people going like, oh, I'm mad at you or whatever. Nothing exciting would happen in it. Yeah. It would just be purely like a bunch of scenes of people going like, I'm mad at you or whatever.

And people would go like, yeah, I'm gonna spend money to go see that. Absolutely. Now something has to have a robot in it. Yeah. What if a robot got shot in the head and became nice? I think this is a good idea for a movie. What if that happened in Westworld?

They all get shot in the head and they become nice. That is kind of Terminator 2, Judgment Day, which also used what Ted Koppel... Morphing technology. ... ... ... Why did he become nice? Because the other robot

was so mean, he was like... He was like, hey, this guy, this is a good cop, bad cop, good terminator, bad terminator. This robot takes it too far. I know I'm an asshole, but this guy takes it to another level. It's like the GOP. I'm an FRT 3000er. All right. Now that we have regarding Henry Facts out of the way, we have Don Cheadle clip out of the way. That's right.

We have to get to it. This is our final clip of this episode. This is your choice for number four. Number four. All right, number four. We're getting so high up in the countdown. We really are. And I'm getting high as a kite, my friend. That's right. Because I'm going to Mars.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Where it's cold as hell. Yep. And I have packed my bags. I'm pre-flight. And zero hour is dinning. Okay, all right.

Good to know. These are good facts. Yeah. Factoids rather. This is episode number 887. Yeah. Factoids rather. This is episode number 887. Wow. It's from October 21st of this year, 2024. So one day after the 20th.

Yeah. Day before the 22nd. Okay. Okay. And this is an episode called Bitty Bitty Bugle Boy Bumbley Bee. Bitty Bitty Bugle Boy Bumbley B. Bitty Bitty Bugle Boy Bumbley B. Bumbley, sorry, Bumbley B. Bumbley B.

Now this sounds familiar to me. This should sound familiar because Paul, would it surprise you to learn that you are in this episode? Scott, it would not. What? A title like that, I think I'm gonna remember. I think you'm gonna remember. I think you'd remember being in this episode.

Now this, the other people, we have the return of Vic Michaelis is in this. That's right. But we also have the return of Christian Brune. Brunzy. But guess who's in this one? Can I say? Go ahead. Tatiana Maslenay.

That's right. She made it. She made it. Go ahead. Tatiana Mase-Lenae. That's right. She made it. She made it. Okay, so let's talk about this. She was shamed and blamed. She was. She was named, shamed and blamed.

And then she had no choice but to come back the following week to clear her name. So this is what happened. We've heard earlier in our countdown, the previous week's episode, where she, about 45 minutes before the episode, texted me to say, hey, I'm not showing up because I have a sinus, I think it was a sinus infection.

And I put her on blast. Blast! And I am not one to talk shit about our guests, but being as this was the fourth time I think she's done this, I had to bring it up. And I said, this is the fourth time she's done this to me. She left you no choice. She left me no choice.

We talked about it. We put her on blast publicly. Meanwhile, we all finished that episode. We all go home. Our respective homes. Our respective homes. Our respective homes. We're not sharing a home. We don't go into each other's homes

to continue the party. I mean, we do have one big house that has separate doors that we all use. Yeah, but separate doors. Yeah. It's almost like having different houses. Yeah. But at approximately 6 p.m.,

we end the show at four or so. At approximately 6 p.m., we end the show at four or so. At approximately 6 p.m., Tat texts me and says, "'How'd it go? Sorry, I can't be there.'" Something to that effect. Some horseshit like that. Some horseshit. And I say, "'I put you the fuck on blast.'"

And I talked about how you're always canceling episodes right before they happen. And she said, I do? And then she got on a text chain with, I think Christian, you and me and apologized for it. And then I think we said, well, why don't we do a makeup episode? She offered to do, I think she offered, she offered to do a makeup episode. And we said, well,

it should be the next week's episode with the exact same people. And so we got ahold of Vic and Vic was available as well. And so we decided to do the exact same people, but with Tatiana. That's right. And that's exactly what happened. Now, so there was some discussion. I think you came in thinking you were going to be the same characters. Yes, I did. So you were ready to be Bing Lujo. Yes.

Vic didn't realize that was going to be part of it. I guess I just thought it was understood that everyone would be the same characters as well. I thought so too. When Vic heard this idea, they said, uh-uh. Like Vic had a very scared expression. To be fair, Vic kind of went back and forth and said, oh, okay, sure, I'll do.

And then at a certain point was like, no, I really want to do what I planned. So then you switched and played- Dr. Bill Blondie. Your Dr. Bill Blondie, whom you debuted on tour, as this is based on my recent experiences with a doctor I had. So this is the second appearance,

but the first on Comedy Bang Bang Proper. Correct. And so you're going to hear, you're gonna hear a couple of clips. We're gonna first talk to Tat and Christian, and then we're gonna hear a discussion between Dr. Blondie and I, and then Vic Clay's Marvel executive,

Lucy Brockenheimer. That's right. So let's hear all of this, and then Vic Clay's Marvel executive, Lucy Rockenheimer. That's right. So let's hear all of this and we'll talk about it after this, this is your choice for episode four. Number four. They both met on the set of a show called Orphan Black many years ago.

Both. Both. She went on to acclaim winning the Emmy award, becoming part of the HBO private detective verse. ALL LAUGHING As well as the MCU. He went on to portray Constable Johnstable. She ended up canceling last week's show

at the last minute. He did not. Showed up. But she said, I wanna make good on this. Put me back in coach. Stars are back. Oh, come on. God damn it.

Please welcome back to the show, Tatiana Maslany and Christian Bruhn. Hello. Hey. Thrilling. Thrilling, thrilling. We are gathered here today because, uh, Tat, you texted me after you unceremoniously backed out of doing the show last week.

And that's about the fourth time you've done that. Huh? Uh-huh. Huh? Huh? Is that t-t-true? I remember a recent one where the Freedom Gang had to be the A-block guests

because you backed out at the last minute. Why did I back? Oh, because I had a nose infection. A nose infection. where the Freedom Gang had to be the A-block guests because you backed out at the last minute. Oh, because I had a nose infection. A nose infection. Or an ear infection. I had some kind of infection. But hey, here's the thing. I just got a procedure done where they go in with a little rod into your nose

and they crack open all the cartilage audibly. And now supposedly I'm going to be okay forever. Forever? You're never going to die? Are you sure they're not going to make you a mummy? audibly and now supposedly I'm gonna be okay forever. Forever! You're never gonna die. Are you sure they're not gonna make you a mummy? That's the other option. Either that. Hey, Shimi. Hey, that's what they do.

Yeah, they take everything out with forceps through the nose. They put it right up your nose, drag it all out. Yeah, it's crazy. Bye! Okay, oh god, mummies. Although very timely for Halloween. Yeah, rest in peace. I wonder what Shimi's gonna be for Halloween. God, rest in peace. What are we going to be for Halloween? God, forgot to ask him.

Well, we'll just see if he comes back. Rest in peace to all of us. Shimi, what are you going to be for Halloween? I'll go be a record album. OK, thanks. Bye. You got to go. Wait, do you know this Canadian record album? Do you know this Shimi?

Are you you're Canadian, right? You remember? No one ever asked me before. Wow. I see it fall over your face. You're Canadian? I'm from Sudbury. Oh my God, from Sudbury.

The biggest place of filming in the country. Hey! The record on Size Small Island that used to play spoons at the end of the show. Yeah. What is Size Small Island? You didn't have show. Yeah. What is Size Small Island? You didn't have that? You don't have Size Small Island? It's a Canadian classic.

Is it a kids' show? Yeah. Let's sing it together. Oh. Oh. Oh. It's a small island. It's a small island.

Everybody gather round. Here's where you can be who you like. See who you like and be who you like. Wow. You can be anyone you like at Small Island. Goodbye. More theme songs should end with goodbye. Gotta go.

Oh, okay. This is the longest you've ever stick around. Oh, he's gone. We did want to bring up a little hanging thread from last week's show. We talked about the now defunct band, Franklin's Fault. Oh, fuck. And we dug up some tape. No. the now defunct band Franklin's Faults. And we dug up some tape here.

Take it back to disco. The understudy trumpet has taken the mic. This is from 2011. Oh my god, no! I'm sweating. This is Mr. Next in Line by Franklin's Falls. Oh my god. There's that trumpet.

Oh my god. Yuck. You son of a bitch. You're wearing a purple jacket, which I love. Look it's a live show, the sound isn't perfect. Oh my god. Pretty good. I love it. I'm sweating a lot. It's pretty good. Oh My god I'm sweating a lot. It's pretty good. It is by the way. It's not a demo or anything This is a live that was a lot of camera far away from a live. Yes

God I can't believe you well, what were the lyrics again? I'm not exactly the man of your dreams, but girl. I'm always around. And, and, you know, if it wasn't for him, you and I'd be getting down. Yeah. So is that how relationships work? Is that just like whoever's Mr. Next in line is like, there's a, uh, I did not write these lyrics. Oh, really? Who wrote them?

Dan Banger McKay wrote these lyrics. So you want to blame it all on him? Yes. Wait, did you have a middle name for the band too? No, that was his nickname because he played the bass drum in a pipe band. Like a Scottish style pipe band. Now I wanted to say that there is one comment

on this video on the YouTube page. It just says Constable Johnstable. The video was uploaded 13 years ago. That comment was made yesterday. Well, we need to get to our next guest. He is the owner of a malt shop. Please welcome Bill Blondie. Hey there Scott, how you doing? Oh, hey, it's Dr. Blondie.

Sorry, Dr. Blondie is my personal physician. Hi. He was on, you came on to one of our- Whoa, whoa, whoa, shut up. Oh. Chris Bruhn? Yeah. From Franklin's Fault?

Yeah. Oh my God. You're a Franklin's Fault fan. Wait, look at that? NFFF? Look at my tattoo. It's the logo of Franklin's Fault. Oh my God, it's the guy walking across the street.

The guy walking across the street. Hey, yeah. I love Mr. Next In Line. Oh my God, it's the guy walking across the street. The guy walking across the piano keys. Hey, yeah. Hello, Mr. Next In Line. Oh my God, thanks, Doc. I just watched the other day, left a comment on his. Oh, oh wait, that was you leaving the Constable Jonesable comment? Is that how it turned out?

What did you want to? I woke up in the middle of the night and left that comment. Oh wait, I. It was supposed to say, love these guys. I have big news. A second comment has popped up. It says, is this a Franklin's Promise cover band? What's Franklin's Promise?

That was what I thought the band was. How's your foot? Still fucked up? It's okay. It's okay. I mean, sorry. He's my personal physician. He's been treating me for various ailments over the years. Mostly the foot. Mostly the foot. You did surgery on it recently. Fun.

Fun? I don't like to hear that it was fun. Why? What were you enjoying? You were miserable. What did you enjoy about it? I had a great time. I love cutting open feet.

I love looking inside there. Wow, I didn't know that. Things you learned in medicine. Yeah, I'm't know that. Things you learned in medicine. Yeah, I'm a doctor. Why are you sighing so heavily? There's also, I'm bored. There's also- You're bored?

Get the fuck out of here. Anyway, I didn't want you on the show. I wanted Bing Lu Zhou. I don't know who that is. Bing Lu Zhou is a guy. He owns- Tell me three things about him. Okay, he owns a mall shop?

Right. Oh boy. He loves the Music Man. Oh yeah, what's your opinion on the Music Man? I wanted to ask you. Okay, here's the thing about the Music Man. It's funny because I was watching some clips. Music Man, here's the scam, okay?

Harold Hill comes to town and he says, hey, there's a pool table. That's bad news. You gotta get the kids involved in wholesome activity. How about a boys band? I'm on board so far. This is the plot of me. I come from the Gary Indiana Conservatory of Music. Here's what you do. Buy a bunch of instruments, buy a bunch of uniforms.

I teach the kids how to play music. Now he doesn't know shit about music. Yeah. This guy doesn't know shit about dick. Yeah, this guy doesn't know shit about dick. He doesn't know jack shit about big dick. So he pretends to teach the kids music. Using the think system. What he says is the pattern of things. The thing method where it's just like.

I don't need to teach you any notes. You just think about the music and it will come out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, first the instruments arrive. He's got his little buddy. On the Wells Fargo wagon. On the Wells Fargo wagon.

Which is coming down the street. That's right. And he says, his little buddy says to him, hey, the instruments are here. And he's like, great, phase one complete. Then a little bit later. As far as I'm concerned, by the way, the instruments are very expensive.

So the fact that he bought these, that's part of the con that makes him realistic. Here's the thing. We don't know who, did he get money for these instruments? We have no idea. Yes. Yes. Hold on a second.

I'm telling you, I just re-equated myself with the story. No, he is paid for three things. He's paid for his services as an instructor. That's it. And then, no. And then he also says like, they're gonna need to buy instruments, so give me this amount of money for the instruments.

And we also need to have uniforms, give me this amount of money for the uniforms. He buys the instruments, he buys the uniforms, he abscans with the bigger sum, which is the payment for his services as a music teacher. I don't think he gets paid for the uniforms or the instruments. You think they just arrive?

They just buy them. The parents just buy them. He doesn't have instruments to sell. They just buy this shit. Here's where I differ on this because, and admittedly, it's been a while since I've seen the movie. Right, great. But in my recollection of it. In your recollection, right.

They are just about to- Which is not as fresh as mine. You said you'd only watched clips, asshole. And I read the synopsis, dick-wagging. You read the synopsis. Yeah. Watch the movie maybe, and then we can have a conversation about this.

Look, I don't know if you're in the habit of arguing about the music man all the time. It's not a habit. But you're way out of line. But strangely, it's happened to me twice. You're way out of line. I'm way out of line? Here's my recollection.

I'm a doctor. See if this rings a bell for you. All right, give it a shot. Frank, get a load of this. About halfway through the movie, this is the point where they are- Tatooine, you listening? Oh, I love the music man.

They're suspicious of Harold Hill's intentions. They think he might just be a con man. They have seen neither hide nor hair of any evidence that he is an actual music teacher. His credentials. He says, no, no, no, I am a music teacher. They are just- This is all the shit I already know.

Let me get to the part you don't fucking know. Do it. Which is... That's what I'm saying. Which is, just as they are about to arrest him, the instruments show up. You've skipped over. What have I skipped over?

A whole... First of all, the instruments don't show up just as they're about to arrest him. You're talking about the end of the movie. I'm talking about the middle of the movie. So they're just about to arrest him in the middle of the movie? Yes. No, they're not. Yes, they are.

They're at least getting suspicious because... That's a bit different than getting arrested. There is not that much daylight between suspicion and being arrested. Honey, honey, honey, rest your mouth. They are suspicious of him throughout. Yes, and at the point where they are about to say like, maybe we should arrest this guy, the instruments show up because part of a con man's duties are to make part of it

come true so that people buy into the con more completely. But the rest of what you said is false. I don't think so. They're not about to arrest him at any point until they do arrest him. But they certainly are very suspicious and then the instruments show up and they go, well, maybe he knows what he's doing.

Okay, can I continue? Well, if you're just going to continue and continue and continue with your ludicrous claims, then I don't know that I want to, I want to listen to them. All right. See if you can, see if you can just open your mind a little bit and shut your fucking mouth. The instruments show up. He's like, great.

Everything's going according to plan. They continue to be suspicious. You continue to fall in love with the librarian who is a music teacher, by the way. Marion. She's been, and who better than her to teach these kids music? One would wonder why don't they just say, well, why doesn't this lady do it? Because he has this fake pedigree

from the conservatory of Gary, Indiana, by the way. He's supposedly a doctor. Professor. Same thing, as far as I'm concerned. No, it's not. Oh, oh, okay. I'm glad. Anyway, Same thing, as far as I'm concerned. No, it's not. Oh, oh, okay. I'm glad you're- Anyway, continue, Professor.

That's an important part to keep in mind. Continue. Hey, you motherfucker, I'm a doctor. Get back to the music pan. So, then he's falling in love with this lady. This lady, she knows all about this shit, that he's a phony because Gary Indiana wasn't, he said he was made a professor, Gary Indiana 1905,

Gary Indiana was actually not a city until 1906. She conceals this information because she likes this guy. She likes this guy. This is the thing, she's letting her sexual attraction get in the way of her responsibility to her civic responsibility. She likes it in there. She's a freak. She likes it. We're on the same page, by the sheets. Her civic responsibility. She likes it in there. She's a freak. She's a freak.

She likes it in there. We're on the same page, by the way. Yeah, man. This lady is a fucking freak who loves it. Mary in the library is a fucking freak. She likes it in the sheets. So... So...

Have you ever seen the Music Man Tatiana? I was in the Music Man. You were? Am I correct about the middle part? I don't. When the instruments show up? What did you play, Winthrop? I played Amaryllis.

By the way, Dr. Blondie, I am saying that the parents bought the instruments. I'm just saying that Harold Hill was the middle man. Yeah, I know. And I wish you'd stop saying it. In any case, I'm glad that I'm right about the Music Man. You're not. You're wrong. I'm not wrong.

You're medically wrong about it. I'm not wrong. You're medically wrong about it. I'm a doctor. You're medically wrong. He's got to be not medically wrong. I would venture to say that even if it is not explicitly mentioned in the text of the Music Man, that one can just extrapolate, oh yes, these people don't know how to order musical instruments. Can I tell you to shut up for a second? He would be the person that they would go through. If they know about the Wells Fargo wagon,

they're gonna know about catalogs and shit like that. Everyone knew what the Wells Fargo wagon was. It's why banks are still called Wells Fargo. It's famous. Wait, so you think the townspeople are under the impression the Wells Fargo wagon just shows up and brings things. But they have no idea how they got on the wagon. Yeah, everyone is excited when the Wells...

Oh, hey, oh! Listen to yourself, listen to yourself. So this is what you resort to when you're wrong. This is like when you came in with your dumb foot. So when the Wells Fargo wagon approaches, no one knows what's on it. It could be something for someone who is no relation. They even talk about!

And it could be something special just for me. Yes, these are the lyrics. And who says this? Everybody, the towns. Something special just for me. Yes, these are the lyrics. And who says this? Everybody, the town. No, no, no. Who says maybe it's bringing something special just for me? Sorry, something special. Yeah.

Just for me. And who is that that says that? Winthrop. A dumb child who has no idea about commerce. You think everyone back in the early 1900s knew that there wasn't order tracking, okay, with the Wells Fargo. Should I go?

No, no, I want you to stay. I want you to stay. There wasn't tracking of any shipments. No one knew when stuff would arrive. You'd send a letter and maybe you would never get there. Maybe you would get there months from then. What did the Wild West? It was akin to it. We're not that far away from the Wild West. Hold on a second. But they knew they... They didn't know like, oh, on March 13th, our instruments are going to it. They're not that far away from the wild. Hold on a second. But they knew they, they, They didn't know like, oh, on March 13th, our instruments are going to arrive.

How do you know they didn't know that? Because I'm not a dumb idiot. How do you know that in the catalog, the old timey catalog where you could buy a bathtub and you could buy, you know, fucking hair grease, that they don't say, guaranteed delivery by blah, blah, blah. Sure, guaranteed by, so you would hope it would arrive by then,

but you don't know the exact date, and then you wouldn't even know when the Wells Fargo wagon would come. Can I say something, baby? You're making it sound like- Don't call me fucking baby, all right? I'm not your baby. I'm not your honey.

I'm not your child. I'm a man. Let me tell you something, sweet, my sweet, sweet boy. I'm not a boy. You're my sweet boy. I'm not a boy. You're my sweet boy. I'm a grownup. You're my sweet boy.

He's holding him in his arms. I love you. You love me, Dr. Coddy? Yes, I get attached to all my patients. You're attached to me? I love them. I think about you all the time. Think about your stupid foot.

And just because your foot is stupid doesn't mean you're not good. Thank you, Dr. Coddy. You're a good person. Thank you so much. That's- I fucking not good. Thank you, Dr. Blonde. You're a good person. Thank you so much. That's... I fucking love you. And listen, I gotta tell you that you're wrong about the music.

I'm not wrong about the music, man. That is the one thing I'm not wrong about. It's time for you. Oh, okay. Good, good, good. Hold on. I'm not ready. Oh, you're not ready.

Okay, no, I am. Go, go, go. She works in the entertainment industry. She works at Marvel headquarters. Please welcome Lucy Brockheimer. Scott! Hi. Ockerman, what is up?

Scott Ockerman, Mr. Ockerman, Ockerman. What is going on in Marvel these days? So much. We need money. We need money so bad. What do you have planned in the Marvel universe? Let me open my little book. Oh boy.

They're all really young, right? Not really It's not like the Teen Titans really they're all like really young. I don't know where who's really babies day out Okay, so that one let's call that the Thunderbolts, what's the Thunderbolts? Thunderbolts is villains or characters who occasionally work on the wrong side of the law, who are brought together by the government. Yep. So, okay. So this one, but so this one, they're old is what their thing is. So that one is all villains. This one, they're all so old and they're heroes. So they're all older heroes who...

Are you okay? You seem to be really nervous right now. Is everything all right? and they're heroes. So they're all older heroes who... Are you okay? You seem to be really nervous right now. Is everything all right? Kevin Feige has my pug. Your pug? I don't know. I'm so sorry.

He kidnapped your pug? Yeah. He does that. Oh no. Did he do that to your pug? Why are you whispering? Because he can hear. You're whispering into the microphone.

No, no, no, but I'm just like, cut this part. Okay. I don't know that I can cut this part. Oh, I need to cut this part. I don't know that I can. He is my bug. What's your pug's name? What's your pug's name? Delicious. Delicious the bug. Oh, no. And Kevin Feige stole your pug. He's been and if I he stole your pogs Was he entered in dog shows, huh? Why'd you say huh? You heard me, right? That's all stop whispering maybe you just talk normal about your dog Did you enter your dog into dog shows?

So many, he does not do very well. But you said he was like dog show quality. He has show quality, but he doesn't have the personality for it. So that's not dog show quality. It's dog show quality, and that his parents were both winners of dog shows. He has the quality,

but he just doesn't have the star power. Okay, that's like saying like, oh, my parents were Olympians, so I can be in the Olympics. No, you have to train. That's exactly what happened with me. Yeah. You said you were, yeah. Why are you whispering about the Olympics? You can talk normally about the Olympics.

Not the Olympic president is going to hear this. And he's got his- The head of the IOC? He's got my son. They're very legit. He's got your son? Yeah. That's what I call my other bug. Oh, okay. I was going to say, you should be more concerned got this. The head of the IOC? He's got my son. They're very legit. He's got your son? Yeah, that's what I call my other bug.

Oh, okay, I was gonna say, you should be more concerned with this. Do not call your dogs your kids. What's the other bug's name? Huh? What's the other bug's name? Why, you must have heard him say, what's the other dog's name?

Jimmy Choo, C-H-E-W. Oh, that's cute. Thank you. That is very cute. Anyways, ah, okay. Okay, back to normal. So we got plenty of more really, really fun movies on the slate.

Okay, is it your job to come up with them? Uh-huh. Why? Okay, here we go. Give me your next idea. And yes, I'm ready. Stop turning your pages. Orca.

The movie about the jaws rip off. The comic book villain. Oh, Orca? Orca. The movie about the Jaws ripoff. The comic book villain. Oh, Orca? Orca. What did you think I said? I thought you said Orca, honey, but there's a movie called Orca. There's a movie, so it's Orca. Blackfish, you know the movie Blackfish?

Yeah, Jollicombe. We just played some of the documentary. What about Black Hat? New release. Huh? Black Hat? Huh? I don't know what that is. You don't know what it is? Starring Thor himself.

Chris Hemsworth. Hemsworth, that's him. Okay, I love that. I don't know what any of this is. Black Phone, Ethan Hawke. Okay. Black Widow. Black Phone, Ethan Hawke.

Black Hawk Down. Black Widow. Black Beauty Horse. Orphan Black. Black Beauty Horse, Horse, of course. We're looking for a vehicle for the horse. I think that, I really do think that there's something special there.

Super Horse. Super Horse. Spider Horse. Mutant Horse. Oh, Mutant Horse, a vehicle for the horse. I think that, I really do think that there's something special there, super horse. Super horse. Spidey horse. Mutant horse. Oh, mutant horse, a member of the Avengers. Horse X. I kind of love that. Doctor horse.

Horsevenger. Double horse. Yes. Okay, so I'm loving all of these ideas. I'm gonna pass around some paperwork if you just sign that. I wanna figure out double horse. Okay.

I like the sound of this. Let's cook on this a little bit. Double horse. Is he double the strength of a horse or just two horses? Is he two horsepower? Is it like a tandem motorcycle where there's two horses who are? A tandem motorcycle.

Why are there two horses with a motorcycle? So there's a horse and then a sidecar. Do they make tandem motorcycles? Or like the Wells Fargo wagon. They're just together, two motorcycles. That would be like a tandem bicycle, that would be fun. Where one person's doing all the motor. Motor ran.

Only one person turns the key. I really love that. And I think we got to start as an origin story, of course. Horse in a human family doesn't know he's adopted. Sort of goes to school, everybody's like, you're different, you're different. The horse is like, no, I'm not. Has a hard to hard sit down with his dad.

His dad toss him a basketball back and forth on the bed. Horse can't catch. So there's something I gotta tell you. Horse can't catch. Horse can't catch. White horse can't catch. They toss the basketball back forth on the bed? On the bed.

Oh, sheets? No sheets. Ah. Yeah, he loves the sheets. He's a freak for the sheets. A freak for the sheets. Do you think? The horse?

I don't have an opinion on the horse. I'm just saying about Dr. Blondie over here. No, I love this. We will buy this. Look, these all sound terrible. I hate to say that to a guest who comes on the show. I feel like you love saying that to guests that come on the show.

What? How dare you? I think you'd take pleasure in it, if I'm being honest. You know what? Art is hard, Scott. Making art is really hard. You're not an artist. It's really difficult.

Thank you. Yes, I am an artist. No, you're not. You're just some dumb person who went to Yale. Would an artist fly all the way to London only to get the call that they have to come back to LA immediately, hop on the plane, leave their entire family in London? Your family's in London?

What are they doing? They were in London. And then Kevin Feige took my pug. Oh, but left your family? No, but the pugs are my family. Is he just babysitting your pug for you while you're here? No, no, no. He stole them.

I'm giving him money to keep him at the guest house, man. Wait, so it's a ransom situation? No, no, no. I'm paying him. Speaking of Ron Howard. You're paying him. He said they could only stay until Thursday. Wait, so you're paying him to take care of your dogs?

He's like dog sitting. Did you leave like their crate and their food and stuff like that with him? Yeah, he had them with my crate and food. I gotta say, you seem like the weirdo in this situation. He's sending you photos. He's sending you photos that they're okay and they're... He sounds nice. Yeah.

Kevin Feige? Yeah. Stole my pugs. You're saying sounds nice. It sounds like he's just dog sitting for you because he, who gave you the call that you had to come back to LA? My dad.

Why, what's going on with your dad? He runs Disney. He runs it, wait, who's this guy? Bob Iger is your dad? Yeah. Wait, are you a Nepo baby? Me? Yeah. Absolutely.

Oh. So your Bob Iger's- It has four letters in it. Your Bob Iger's progeny and you don't know anything about comics and you think that you're going to run Marvel? I went to Yale. Who cares? On a football scholarship, I was the kicker.

How far could you kick? So far. Both of my parents were Olympians. Okay, yeah, but how far could you kick? Bob Iger was an Olympian? Yeah, he was watching it. Okay, that's not an Olympian. What event was it? Uh-huh.

Downhill skiing. He was on the bench for downhill skiing. Meaning he just watched all the skiers. Like the bench at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain? He was at the bottom of the mountain. He had a credential that said, ticket. And he just had like a hot chocolate with him.

He was like watching the skiers. Yeah. He had a credential that said, ticket. And he just had like a hot chocolate with him. He was like watching the scares. Yeah. Most Olympians don't actually compete. That's a fun fact that they don't tell you. Most? Is that true? 90% of Olympians aren't competing. 90% of Olympians are on the back. There's just like understudies like Franklin over here

was for the trumpet. Yeah, exactly. Can I just say, I love your trumpet work and I would love to get you in there. I think there's a vehicle for the trumpet. I've never been in the MCU and you need, you know, like a stunning, handsome actor. Yeah.

So, why don't you put- I love that, we'll call the trumpet if we need that. So, wait, are you looking for a trumpet player just for like the soundtrack or- We- Or is this a superhero who actually like- Trumpet man or Bugle Boy. I see a superhero.

Bugle Boy? I see a superhero. Bitty bitty bugle boy of Bumbley B. What's the... Bitty bitty bugle boy of Bumbley B. Bitty bitty bugle boy of Bumbley B. Bitty bitty bugle boy of Bumbley B. That's how it goes. Number four.

Oh, right. Oh, right. Oh, all right. So obviously we got into another discussion regarding the music. Yes, yes we did. This is because after the first one, I went to Wikipedia. I tried to search,

like how, like a layout of the scheme. Yeah. And nobody really had a detailed explanation of that. By the way, I should mention in the first episode that we played a couple episodes ago, I didn't really know what we were arguing about. I couldn't really follow the argument. Listening to it back on these clips, I couldn't really follow the argument,

listening to it back on these clips, I now can see the sort of the layout of what you're talking. Now knowing what you're talking about, I was kind of like, oh, I see what you're saying. At the time I was kind of like, what are we arguing about? Because I was trying to get to a point that I never got to. But now I see that our disagreement,

and by the way, in between these episodes, we also did tour episodes. I don't know. Yeah, we did. We did tour episodes. I think we did that five city stint from Sacramento through Vancouver. Now, maybe we recorded this and then went on that stint.

Yes, that's what happened. Where, but people heard those first, where some yeah. Now, maybe we recorded this and then went on that stint. Yes, that's what happened. Yeah. Where, but people heard those first. Yes. Where some of those characters, I kept bringing up the music man to those characters of yours, and we continued talking about it or you shut it down a few times.

We might've continued. I think I shut it down. I think one, I just agreed with you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we heard from a lot of people. Yes, we did.

At the meet and greets on tour. And what is interesting to me is that no one can agree on this. I would have thought that it would have been a consistent, everyone said, oh, by the way, Scott, you're right. Or, oh, by the way, Paul, you're right. Got a lot who are vehemently on each, you know, one of our sides, but there is no consensus on this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so let's boil down the disagreement to, because I think also you were misunderstanding me when I was saying that I was talking about the middle of the film when the Wells Fargo wagon happens and you thought I was talking about the end of the film when the Wells Fargo wagon happens and you thought I was talking about the end of the film. Here's the disagreement. I believe that part of Harold Hills' con in the Music Man

is he goes to the parents and he says, I'm a music teacher and I'm gonna start this huge band. Here's what you just all need to pay me this sum of money. And you're going to get music lessons. You're going to get uniforms and you're gonna get instruments and there's gonna be a huge band and this is gonna put this town on the map.

Right. He then, Harold Hill that is, buys shitty uniforms and he buys instruments, maybe they're not the best instruments. I don't know, I can't remember that part of the movie. They, the instruments are all delivered on the Wells Fargo wagon in the middle of the movie, right when people are getting a little too suspicious

and kind of going like, I think this guy's faking. And then suddenly the instruments show up and they go, all right, maybe he's legit, which is part of the con, but they're not as good as what you would normally get. Right. Your point of view is- No, I'll tell my point of view. Okay, yeah, please.

My point of view is that the con involves the people paying for uniforms, instruments- That's a side thing that they're doing. And lessons. Yes. So who do they pay? Aren't you saying that they pay the instrument people themselves?

I was saying that it's possible that they could have bought the instruments themselves. And then we started arguing about whether or not it was possible that these people would be able to do that. I mean, yes, I'm of the opinion that these are just simple country folk. Yeah, simple country folk who live in a place called River City. And they have a- They're river people, they live near the river. I'm not doing this with you. I'm not doing this with you.

So the argument really came down to, did the people give him the money to buy the instruments, or did they purchase the instruments themselves from a catalog? But I would also contend, now that we're talking about this now, I don't think the instruments show up until the very end. I don't think you ever see them until the very end. Here's what I do remember is he's finally let go.

This is part of the genius of the music man. This is spoilers for music man, but. Music man is great by the way. It's great. It's my favorite musical. Yeah, I love it. He's taught them supposedly under the think system without instruments and just said,

you're like, think about what you're doing and you'll be able to do it. Then they finally arrest Harold Hill and they say, prove that you've been teaching these kids the thing. And the kids all have these instruments and you're thinking like, oh, this is gonna be bad. Well, it's going, because I've seen this scene recently,

it's going badly. They want to turn feather the sky, right? Which is gruesome. Yes. By the way. Then the kids show up with their fucking instruments and uniforms. Which we don't know.

And by the way, the uniforms are not good yet because you do see them. At the very end, yes. At the very end, you see what the band becomes and they have beautiful uniforms and they're a huge team. Which I don't know if that's technically part of the story or if that's just like the finale of the movie. I think that's part of the story

is he's gotten them shitty uniforms that... I think that's part of the story. But I think the very end where the credits are rolling and they all look fucking great. You think that's part of the story. Right. But I think the very end where the credits are rolling and they all look fucking great. You think that might be a fantasy or? Yeah, because like how much time has passed that they now can play at this level. But the fact that they're talking about 76 trombones,

this is a lot of people. Yeah, so it's insane anyway. Yeah, the whole thing doesn't make sense. This doesn't make sense. But anyway, they... So what happens is, he thinks he's done for, the kid show up in uniforms with their instruments That makes sense. But no, but anyway, they- So what happens is, he thinks he's done for, the kid show up in uniforms with their instruments

and Shirley Jones, who like believes in him, is like, no, he can do it. He takes the pointer, breaks it in half, gives it to him as he's done. With the handcuffs, he conducts that. With the handcuffs and he's saying, think, think children. Yes.

And just praying for his life because he knows he's about to be tarred and feathered, which is so gruesome. They put tar all over your body and you asphyxiate. You die. Hot tar. It's not like, oh, hey, look, he's all funny. No, your skin gets peeled off. You asphyxiate and die.

The feathers are just insult to injury. Yes. But in any case, he says, think children, think. Knowing the minute they start playing, he's done for. Because none of them know, he hasn't taught them shit. They're gonna murder him. They start playing terribly.

Like you think there's gonna be some movie magic where, oh my God, they did use the Think system. They start playing terribly, it sounds horrible. But parents love their children so much, they think it's so adorable that they go, that's my Henry or whatever. They all love him. And they all love the band, even though they sound terrible.

And he's like, what? I got away with it. Great end. And then they just believe him and he becomes the, this is what originally the, what I thought we were arguing is, is it a lie if it comes true? I don't think we ever argued that. Yeah, that was how it started. I've listened to this clip.

We just listened to this. We definitely moved off of that very quickly. Well, that was how it started was I was trying to say like, is it a lie if it comes true? Like he, Harold Hill has lied supposedly, but it came true. So was it a lie? Was it, is it illegal if a con comes true?

I think it's still illegal if you can, if the person admits like, yeah, I was lying about that. So a person should never admit. Hey, if it fucking works out like that, count your fucking blessings. Exactly. If you're a con man and you're traveling by train across the country and then somehow- First of all, get a PJ, get a private jet.

You should get a PJ. If you're a con man, get a PJ. But your scam that you made up, it turns out you do have some magical ability to teach children with no instruments, how to play instruments? You should be like, this is great. When do the instruments show up?

And here's what I'm moving to. I think the instruments show up at the very end. Here's what I'm getting to. Yeah. Bing Lujo and Dr. Who is he? Dr. Bill Blondie. Bill Blondie and I need to do a watch along. Yes, which we talked about at the time. And that's why I've wanted to watch this movie again.

But we're not doing it until we can do this? I want to see it again. All right. All this talk of it made me want to watch the whole movie. I know it's so good. Yeah. So I still don't quite know what we're are you think the argument is whether it's possible that the? No, no, no, no, no. The argument is, well, ultimately the argument is- I think part of the con is that he's taken money for the instruments himself.

And he's purchased the instruments. And he's purchased the instruments, yeah. That was the crux of our true disagreement. Yes. And then it became, is it even possible for these people to figure out how to order things? I will perhaps concede. Thank you.

That one of the people could have done this. Mm. You think the mayor? Maybe. The mayor probably could have figured it out. The mayor's wife. Yeah, Mrs. Shin. Yes.

You Laila Shin. By the way, the music man was the example that my old weirdo drama teacher gave of like commitment to a role. He was like, when we did the Music Man two years ago, the people who were cast as the Barbershop Quartet, they would go from class to class and only respond in Barbershop Quartet. Yeah, that sucks. Yeah.

That sucks. Fuck that. Fuck that. Yeah. I hope those guys are in hell. I think they're probably still with us. You weren't that much older than me. Well, I can hope. All right.

We have one last piece of business to attend to, and that is part three of the Snowman game. Now, if you've heard our previous two episodes, you know that the first time the Snowman did not look at either of us, the second time the snowman looked directly at myself. Paul has placed him where as the loser of the last game, he was allowed to place the snowman in any place. And looking kind of between us. He's splitting us right now.

We're trying to change up every time. Trying to change up every time. And, let me turn on the mic so we can hear the snowman. And here we go. This is part three of the snowman game. I press his little fat hand. Three, two, one. Well, the weather outside is frightful.

But the body is so delightful. His first spin. Spinning. He's looking. He's back right where he was. I've never seen that happen. Just about. Snow, let it snow, let it snow. And he's spinning again.

And he is now looking as far away from us as he possibly could. Just over there. Who the fuck knows what he's looking. And he's spinning again, and he is now looking as far away from us as he possibly could. He's spinning again, this might be the last one. No, he's got one more spin coming. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Oh! Could have stopped on Paul, then came to me, could have stopped, but did not, and just passed me.

Looking the complete opposite direction of me. Looking right at the bathroom. He loves that bathroom. He loves it. Who does he care? Paul, you still have a chance to tie it up. Yeah. And then we'll have to go into OT.

Yeah. Or do we carry it over into the next year? Maybe. That has been this episode. Yeah. That has been what you just listened to. That's been this episode. Yeah. That has been what you just listened to. That's been it. This was Comedy Bang Bang, Best of 2024, part three.

We're gonna see you back here on Thursday when we're gonna have the top three episodes of the year. This is the good stuff. Fucking better be here. This is what you wanna hear. This is what you wanna hear. Even this, like the top, we cracked the top five. The top six even, like this was terrible. When you're talking about the top six versus the top three. There's such a vast difference. Oh my God. There's such a vast

difference. Of course. Yeah. This is exciting. We will see you on Thursday. Thanks. Goodbye. Thanks, goodbye!
