Starting point is 00:01:15 Until then, enjoy this bonus bang! Comedy, death ray. Comedy, death ray. Comedy, death ray. Comedy, death ray. Okay, so it's time to play one of our favorite features on this program. We haven't played this in a little while, I don't believe, but it's time to play a little game we call What Am I Thinking? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I am the phantom of the opera. My name is Jeremy Harming-Piven. Okay it's time to play What Am I Thinking? Of course we all know how we play this game. Of course we all do. Basically what will happen is I will... Okay, so here's how I explain it. We all know how we play this, so why bother? Yes, we all do.
Starting point is 00:02:40 That's what I would say. Maybe a refresher. Oh, that's a great tip. For the listener. Only for the listener. Maybe a refresher. Oh, that's a great tip. For the listener. Only for the listener. For the new listener. Okay, so what this is is two people will play at a time. Dame Sir and I, for example, will take a look at each other and we will both say three,
Starting point is 00:02:56 two, one together in synchronicity. And then we will each think of a separate word to ourselves and we will say that word out loud at the same time. And then we will both have said two totally separate words. And then we will each say three, two, one again, and try to come up with the word that is the compromise word, the word that is either directly in between those words or a word that has both of those things in common and then we will try to eventually say the same word.
Starting point is 00:03:29 That makes sense to you. The mystery word betwixt the two, neither fish nor flesh. Nor foul. Nor foul. You were talking Terence Trent Darby there for a second. I often do. So, Zach, that makes sense to you, right? You can watch us play.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I'm going to watch the... I don't think I've played this before. No, I often do. So, Zach, that makes sense to you, right? You can watch us play. I'm going to watch the... I don't think I've played this before. No, I don't, but as a big fan of the show, you know exactly how it's played, so... Yes. Loyal listeners. Yes. So, Dame Sir, why don't we play you and I together? Why don't we?
Starting point is 00:03:58 We'll stare directly into each other's eyes. Yes. We'll play that. All right. Are you ready to go? You have a word in mind? I have a question. Person, place, or thing? No, just a word? It doesn't matter. Anything. Person, place, thing, proper noun, anything. Proper noun. Good.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Were you differentiating words from persons, places, and things? Yes. All right. I meant proper nouns is what I meant. Sure. Proper nouns are... I-ful tower for once. This is not Scrabble. It's also two words. I-ful tower for once!
Starting point is 00:04:23 You can do two words. I've been listening to this podcast for a year and no one has brought up I-ful tower. That is true. This is not Scrabble. For once. It's also two words. Eiffel Tower for once! You can do two words. I've been listening to this podcast for a year and no one has brought up Eiffel Tower. That is true. You can do more than one word. Lord knows too. You can do more than one word. I do want to say that.
Starting point is 00:04:35 So if it's like Frank Lloyd Wright, you can say Frank Lloyd Wright. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't have to be one word. He's not in any relation to you, is he? Oh, I wish. I would have gotten a house for free! Was he just giving away houses to all of his relations? Yes!
Starting point is 00:04:49 Oh yes! Really? That's why he eventually went broke after he died. Alright, so why don't we play, you have a word in mind? Yes. Alright. Please try to hide your distaste for this game as well. I'm not an actor, dear boy.
Starting point is 00:05:03 If only I could put on a false face, as you seem to do. All right, here we go. Ready? And we say three, two, one, and then the word. All right, here we go. Ready? Three, two, one, phantom. Okay, the two words are iPhone and phantom.
Starting point is 00:05:20 iPhone and phantom. I just gotta tell you, I think it's... No, no offense, Lloyd, but you have to broaden your mind a little bit. I can't... Don't you understand, Zachariah? These songs and characters, they're with me always. Okay, alright. Whispering in my brain's ear.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Okay, maybe on the next one you'll... Well, we'll see. We'll see. The words of Phantom. And iPhone. my brain's ear. Maybe on the next one you'll. Well, we'll see. We'll see. The words are phantom. And iPhone. We're going to try to come up with the perfect combination word of the word that they have both in common.
Starting point is 00:05:54 All right, here we go. Ready? And three, two, one. Star Wars. Computer virus. Ah, computer virus and Star Wars. Yes. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Well, I mean. Yes. Interesting. I mean, I'm a little- Generous. Compared to other things that exist in the world. Dirt. Staring at the wall. How dare you. Don't knock until you've tried it, love. So Star Wars and computer virus are the two words, let me think about this for just one second. All right, here we go, ready?
Starting point is 00:06:29 Three, two, one, stormtrooper. Oh, Jar Jar and stormtrooper. What is the combination between them? All right, here we go, ready? Three, two, one, rebel alliance. Chewbacca and the rebel alliance. All right, ready, what do they have in common? Three, two, one, Rebel Alliance! Chewbacca and the Rebel Alliance. Alright, ready? What do they have in common? Three, two, one, Han Solo! We did it!
Starting point is 00:06:51 That's a good game. That is how it's done! Where'd you come up with that concept? That is a game that James Zdomian, friend of the show, and I, and Paul F. Tompkins, friend of the show, and I played in the car on a long trip to Solvang once. One of them wasn't very good at it at all! But one of our guests here today was great at it because we just won in five moves or less. Thank you, thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Congratulations. What's the record? The record is one. Meaning we said the same word at the exact same time. Now that, I believe that was you and your wife? That was me and my wife. And it happened to be something we were both looking at. exact same time. Now that. I believe that was you and your wife. That was me and my wife. Uh. And it happened to be something we were both looking at.
Starting point is 00:07:27 But still, it counts. Technically, yeah. Alright, Zach, do you want to play? Sure. Alright, you and I then? Sure. Okay, alright, so you have a word in mind? Uh, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Don't say airplane just because we both hear it outside. Ready? Alright, here we go. Three two one Faster tied for first No, let's play for real. Okay, we go ready Three do you have a word? Yeah, all right, three two one to light switch Okay light switch and tulip What is the word that has those in common?

Starting point is 00:08:19 So we're there in perfect concert. Got it. Why should the mathematical burden fall to Scotrick? Why are they the inventor of the game? I did not invent it, I merely perfected it. Okay. There are points all around. All right here we go, ready? We have a light switch and tulip. Ready? All right. Three, two, one, wallpaper.

Hmm, exciting. A train on rolling skates seems so sad. Don't cry, rolling skate train. The world loves you. Stop crying, you'll rust Roller Skate Train Roller Skate Train Roller Skate Train Roller Skate Train
Starting point is 00:10:47 Roller Skate Train Roller Skate Train Alright, that is how we play What Am I Thinking? Someone wanted to add their own lyrics to this. Who's that fellow? This song is haunted! Alright, do we want to play... yeah, why don't we do that? Why don't we do Jukebox Jury? You in for it? We have a musician. We have a Dame Sir ALW here. Indeed, I'll ask Dylan to recuse himself. We don't want him to get in trouble with critiquing songs, he's an artist himself.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Yes. But as we are merely fans of the form... Indeed. ...of singer songwriters, you are... Absolutely. ...then we are going to judge these songs. And we have engineer Doug, what is our first song for Jukebox Jury? Swing that microphone right around to you
Starting point is 00:11:45 and announce yourself. This is Chicken Milk by Little Mungo. Can we vote now? Wait, wait, wait, I don't know what the, what are we doing? Just, no, keep going, keep going. People send me songs to play on the show and we judge them.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Okay. This is chicken milk. Turn it up a little. Science has given the chicken a nipple. Science has given the chicken a nipple. The chicken, a nibble, science has given the chicken I'm ready to vote! A nibble Can you give me a few more minutes?
Starting point is 00:12:33 Oh, certainly Science Ha ha ha ha Fair enough Has given the chicken a nibble Here's where it starts to shave. Little Mungo. Little Mungo.
Starting point is 00:12:57 All right, turn it off. Oh, it's an offshoot of Mungo. Littleer than a regular Mungo. Alright, so any thoughts before we vote? Well the cardinal sin of the song not, the lyrics not starting right away with your funny sort of comedy song. Yeah, if you want to do a comedy song you want to hook the listener into something funny right away.
Starting point is 00:13:22 You don't want to get too much into a groove because presumably if you're doing comedy songs you're not very good at regular songs so why have some instrumentation up at the top? Just get dive right in. Also if you're going to repeat a line I would do it either just twice or I would thrice do it four times as quickly as possible. Okay. Zetri. Lloyd makes good points there. I agree with you. Oh You asked me for Mike just some feedback some crazy constructive criticism I think that's I think I'm on board with that that criticism was pretty how can little mongo basically parlay this Song into a career like yours where you're starring in major motion pictures. Oh, that's easy series. That's easy. Oh, yeah Well, they're halfway there. They and television series. That's easy. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:14:05 Um. Well, they're halfway there. They're halfway there. That's what I did. Uh, do you know anything about Little Mongo? I know nothing about Little Mongo. Is it Lil or Little? Lil.
Starting point is 00:14:14 L-I-L. And is it Mongo or Mongo? Mongo. M-U-N-G-O. Oh, Mongo. Alright, so. Like, Saint Mongo. Ah, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:23 So, it sounds like we are ready to vote then. So we will go to, no, we'll go to Zach first. Mustard or pants? Mustard. Mustard. And Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber? I wish to be polite here, so I'll say trousers. All right, very good. So we have one for... You know what I mean. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:14:47 It means something different where I come from. We have one for mustard, one for trousers, and why don't we go to the next one. Engineer Doug, what do we have? This is a tribe called GERP with Rocktober Now. Oh, crap. What's the month? It's the middle of Rocktober What you got to say? Y'all say it ain't sober I'm in that killer coma Contagious in the corner of the six feet deep Knockout squad, knockin' out odd Timin' old men, linin' up to say way to go, sonny Like Liston, I'm a bad boy Like the late 80s Detroit Pissin'
Starting point is 00:15:23 With the late 60s Detroit attitude White panther fuckin' in the avenue Got the dope in the guns, keep the fuzz bumblin' Gettin' drive-thru donuts and gettin' drive-thru coffee While I'm in the drive-thru with my posse on Broadway Game kangaroo tacos before we leave Alright, just so you know, forget it. Alright. Any criticisms?
Starting point is 00:15:47 What was the name of the song again? Rocktober now. Rocktober now. What was the name of the group? A Tribe Called Gurp. A Tribe Called Gurp. Are these supposed to be funny? I think so. That's a good question. I mean, are they...
Starting point is 00:16:01 I thought they were. It's basically people trying to send me because I normally play comedy songs No offense Dylan, but I normally play comedy songs and and so people send me them trying to get their song played on the air Hmm. Oh I think the rap thing has been done a lot Comedy if this is a comedic song. It's not that fresh especially on this show comedy, if this is a comedic song, it's not that fresh to me. Especially on this show. It's almost exclusively what people send in. Yeah, it seemed a little bereft of laughs. Yes, I couldn't figure out if that was the goal or if they just thought
Starting point is 00:16:36 it was somewhat amusing tune they'd send in and see what they could get. Who are the people sending them? That's a tribe called GERP. No, I know, but who are they? They're fans of the show. Okay. Yeah, so we have to be nice to them, as nice as we can be, but they know when they send it in that they're going to be... They're not around town performing? No.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Oh no. No, no, no. I'd like to see that live, is what I would like to see that version. I would love to go with you. Where are they playing? I'd love to be your date. Yeah, can we get dates from them for the plugs? No. Engineer Doug, you're a hip-hop musician. What do you think about that?
Starting point is 00:17:08 I thought it was terrible. Okay! Mincing no words! So let's go to Dameser ALW. How do you like to vote, mustard or pants? I'm going to vote mustard on that. Mustard and what do we get from Zach? How do you vote? Just vote. Pants. Okay, we have one for mustard, one for pants, and what do we get from Zack? Uh, what does it... Can you tell me? How do you vote? Just food. Pants. Pants, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:28 We have one for mustard, one for pants, and what do we have next Doug? The group is The Personnel, or The Personal. The song's Twister in the Nude. But how is it spelled? Personal, I miss... Boke. And Twister in the Nude. Correct. If you ain't got no place to go and you ain't a stuck up crew
Starting point is 00:17:49 Just bring a friend to my house baby, we'll all get un-bued My socialite parents are out of town so we can act real crude Pull down the sheets, lock up the doors, stop your twister in the nude Twister, twister, twister in the nude You may think we're perverts, baby, you may think it's nude But be honest with yourself now Alright, turn it off. What the fuck are we doing with this show? I almost wanted to hear more to see if he had exhausted the rhymes for nude.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I bet he didn't. He'd worked his way through quite a few of them. Let's hear some more. For our house, we game our twister. Twister in the nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Alright, turn it off. You know, people write to me and they say, hey, can you stop doing that jukebox jury segment? Who dares? And I say to them, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my dad. Even my dad can't tell me what to do, because I'm a grown ass man. That's right. You know? And, uh, but there are days like this where I just want to acquiesce and give in and go, you know what, you're right. Skaltrick. Not all my ideas are good ones. Skaltrick, you must never cease the duking box jury.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Why? Why do you believe in it so much? It's the foundation of your American Republic democracy. Don't you understand? Everyone gets a vote. What would happen if you ran across something that was really amazing? We've played... maybe not. I can't remember. No, it's never happened. You know what I mean? Like, oh this is really amazing. We've played, maybe not. I can't remember. No, it's never happened. You know what I mean? Oh, this is really funny.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We would put it in regular rotation. That's what we would do. We've played songs all the way through before. Listen, people are going to make these songs just like people are going to murder other people. But when people murder other people. Owls are gonna murder other owls. Gahoo!
Starting point is 00:19:43 When people murder other people, other people must be there to judge these murderers. So when these people make their terrible songs, someone must stand up to be the judge. Is anyone will, speaking of owls and song parodies, you can call me owl? I think the entire cast of Gahoo should sing that as a promo video for their movie. At the very least it should be over the end credits. It's not? Are you serious? That's not? I walked out. Full disclosure. You know who sings that song? Weird Al Yankovic.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Weird Al Yankovic. Got it. You got it? And then, if you want to go an extra step. I do. So I would imagine that there's a little bit of blood in that movie. Al Gore. That's double. That's a double pun.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Weird Al Janka Al. That's not bad. Keep working. Keep working on it. Keep working on it. Keep working on the workshop. Alright, that's how you play Jukebox Jury. Let's go to. Keep working. Keep working on it. Keep working on it. All right, that's how you play Jukebox, Jerry. Let's go to some real music.
Starting point is 00:20:48 What do you say? Let's go to another song from Dylan Campbell. How's that sound? I suppose. I was in the mood to hear more terrible music. No, no. Let's quickly abandon this and go to Dylan. I know that you're mine, you're told all the time Though your years behind have paid no mind Without you I'm wrong
Starting point is 00:21:37 Listen chords to a song It cannot come along if the lines get too long This was a promise we had made To find love Before we find the grave You stare sometimes Set a fire in my eyes You left me blind by your absence of light
Starting point is 00:22:30 You've left me blind by your absence of light Absence of life Help me find a place Cast these shadows away Take it day by day In the end I will pay For how I will pay This is the great escape Political rape Our lives have been taped, we can no longer wait This was a promise we had made To find love, sweet love for We find the grave
Starting point is 00:23:50 You stare sometimes Sets a fire in my eyes You left me blind by your absence of life You lead me inside Like a comatose sprite You, you lead me inside Like a comatose sprite You come at a surprise And you stare sometimes
Starting point is 00:24:50 There's a fire in my eyes You have left me blind By your absence of light. You, you, you left me out the name of that song. It's a very positive song. Yeah, because it's a total absence of them. Yes. It's a roundabout way of saying the song is about the truth. No, no, no, no. Pshht. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Pshht. No, no, no, no. Pshht. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. All right, well, we have one last and final, well, not our final segment, but you're looking at me like this is going on forever. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:55 No, no, no, it's okay. No, I didn't, I wasn't, this is the, you said it was the last segment. It's the last segment, but not our final feature. Yes. Exactly. Does that make sense? Sure. We have very several popular features on this show and we have two in this segment.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I keep forgetting that there's always the most popular one is at the very end. Yeah. But hurry up because Zachariah is squirming like a toddler in church. I'm very hungry. I'm hungry. Yeah, but you're always hungry, one would imagine.
Starting point is 00:26:24 He's pulling at his bow tie. What's the guy's coloring books? Oh, did I tell you what this is? Yes, okay, so it's time to play a little game that we call Would You Rather. What the f***, my heaven. We're playing them all today. Three games. Trying to get our money's worth.
Starting point is 00:26:44 La la la la. la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, you know what I would love?

Starting point is 00:27:46 Consider it done? At the ready. Consider it done? I do consider it done. I will see you next year with that song. I'll see you in court. Next year. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:57 With that song. Indeed. Alright, so this is, we all know how we play this. This is Woodrow Atherton. Zach, actually, you were here the very first time we ever played this game. I didn't remember this. It has... Memories all alert in the moonlight. That's what I've mined.
Starting point is 00:28:14 But for the uninitiated, basically people write to me on my Twitter account, at Scott Aukerman, but only when I ask for it, because otherwise it will not get read. And they send me Would You Rather scenarios, and we have some great ones here. Here we go. Kyle Crane, Kyle Crane, it sounds like you're snoring, Zach. It was. Right into the microphone. Okay, I just wanted to make sure.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Kyle Crane, at Kyle Crane asks, would you rather have the ability to read fish's minds or always have ability to have your mind to be read by all fish? That's not worded right, but I think what he's trying to say is would you rather have the ability to read fish's minds or have your mind constantly read by all fish? Okay, so The the floor is open for questions. I have a question. Oh yes, dames are ALW. These fish. Yes. In the which scenario? I'm about to tell you. Okay, I just want to stop you before you ask the question because we need to
Starting point is 00:29:18 establish which scenario. Yes. I was about to establish the scenario. Okay, but before you go on I just want to make sure that you determine which scenario it is you're asking about. I feel we're saying the same thing. I don't think so, because what I'm trying to get from you is which scenario you're... Yes, what I'm trying to tell you is the scenario. God damn it, why don't you ever listen to me?
Starting point is 00:29:38 I want to know which scenario you... So glad we've made the game longer. In the scenario wherein the fish can read my mind, do these fish understand human thought? Great question. Actually that goes to the... basically humans don't think in words, they think in images. So fish can understand images, yes, but what they don't understand nor comprehend is the world above the sea, the human world in other words. They don't understand these cities that rise up into the air as an affrontory to God. So if I'm thinking of something private,
Starting point is 00:30:18 say a sexy sort of thought, these fish will have no idea what I'm thinking. Well they have seen humans because every once in a while a human dips their toe into the well of the undersea kingdom. And so they know what a human is, and if you're having sexy thoughts, they know basically how the parts fit into one or another. Skaartrik, you've walked right into my trap. Uh oh. What if I am, in this scenario, an objectum sexual. Wait, what? Oh, haven't you heard of them? I guess not. These are people who are attracted to inanimate objects,
Starting point is 00:30:51 not other people. OK. There's a famous story of a woman who married a bridge. And a man who was in love with the air wolf helicopter. This is all true. OK. Now, if I'm having a private thought about being intimate with an automobile, what will these fish make of it? Are you trying to say that
Starting point is 00:31:13 that this is uh are you trying to tell me? No, I'm not trying to say anything. Are you trying to? I'm merely conjecturing about such a fellow. And this fellow would definitely be into automobiles? fellow and this fellow would definitely be into automobiles yes any sort of time period with these automobiles like old timey ones with the the jumper seat absolutely the 1970s the 70s really they made big cars back then they really knew how to make them station wagons or muscle, don't make me choose. Wait, make you choose or make this? Make him, him, the fellow. Okay. Made a fellow, we're talking about that I invented. I believe the fish would just be confused by that to answer your question. Alright, that's a relief. Alright, I'm open to questions, so do we have another question? I don't see how it could not be that you want to...
Starting point is 00:32:07 Don't vote! That is a classic would-you-rather blunder. He almost voted! No, it's hypothetical. I'm, I'm... You have to ask a question you can't say, I don't see. That's a statement, motherfucker. I don't see... oh, okay, let me see... Fair play to you. That's how the language works.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Umm... Seems simple to me the answer that's another statement ask a goddamn question or get I'm done find the egress I'm ready have you forgotten the question words I why where where how who how can one not see how can one not see what idiot do we have another question from... When does one get to say their answer? Yes. In the scenario wherein I can read the minds of fish, do I understand their fishy thoughts?
Starting point is 00:32:57 Very interesting. It is, isn't it? Just to think about it. Yes, you do. As a matter of fact, they think in English, so it's even easier. They don't understand English. King's English? They don't understand English, and yet they think about it. Yes, you do. As a matter of fact, they think in English, so it's even easier. They don't understand English. King's English? They don't understand English, and yet they think in it.
Starting point is 00:33:09 It is the King's English, yes. Not the Queen's, they're going back a ways. Or forward into the future, when Charles ascends to the throne. And then there's the good old babe Ruthbot as well. He's around. I forgot about him. Slugging away there the future. Trying to get those dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Getting space syphilis. So yes, you understand their thoughts perfectly and their thoughts are frightening to you. Oh frightening in the way that is enjoyable as in going to see a scary film. Oh no, if you could read their minds you would never step foot in the water ever again. May I ask you this? Yes, please. In that scenario, am I able to turn this mind reading on and off, or am I constantly bombarded
Starting point is 00:33:55 by the frightening thoughts of fish? There is an on-off switch on your mind reading, however that switch gets broken within the first hour of you gaining this ability. What, first hour? Yeah. first hour of you gaining this ability. What? First hour? Yeah. What time of day does this happen?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Uh, the first hour, it happens at five in the morning. You're awakened by the sound of fish being caught in fisherman's nets. Oh, so it's not the band. Oh dear. It's not the band. No, no. It's not. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:23 This whole time. I didn't catch that. This whole time. So maybe you wanna rethink that knowing how you're gonna vote. Right. Because I was confused this whole conversation. You thought you were reading the thoughts of Trey Anastasio. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:32 What's his name again? Trey Anastasio. Oh! Every name, no matter how silly, just sounds great coming out of your mouth. Trey Anastasio! Any other questions before we vote? In the scenario wherein the fish can read my mind.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Yes. Do the fish know who I am? Do they have a sense of me as an individual or are they just bombarded by these thoughts, all of these fish? May I answer that question with a question? Please, I wish you would. Who among us in this great wide world has not heard tell of the very famous Dame Sir
Starting point is 00:35:15 Andrew Boyd W. Well, that begs another question then. Well, I wasn't fishing, but I like what I caught. Let me ask you a question. But this begs a whole different question, built on that question. Does it beg this question, or does it raise a question? Well, whatever the expression is. Yes, Zach, from the floor.
Starting point is 00:35:32 How... one must think how well if Lloyd's... I think you have some of those words mixed up. In Lloyd's world, I'm very dyslexic, very. In Lloyd's world, you have to consider the fish getting along with the cats. That is true. I will consider that. Well, you mean you need a long time to think about it. What else have I got to do?
Starting point is 00:36:04 I'm staring at a wall. Let me ask this. Yes. All of these fish, are they hearing my thoughts at the same time? And do they communicate with each other about my thoughts? That is a great question. All these fish can not only read your mind, you're the only human, by the way, whose mind they can read.
Starting point is 00:36:19 On planet Earth? Yes. But they- I'm the last man on Earth? No. No, just the only one that they can actually read the minds of. You say no as if you know so much, don't you? Yeah, I know the context of what she's talking.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Well, I do beg your pardon. They can read each other's minds, and they know exactly when they want to attack. I've said too much. Wha? I've said too much. I feel this has gone beyond a game of would you rather, and you have some vital information you're holding back. I can only speak when asked questions of to me.
Starting point is 00:36:50 All right, and I'm shutting the floor down for questions. That will never know exactly what to what I was referring. And it's time to vote. So Zach, you were very eager to vote. So how do you like to vote here? I would say that I would like to be able to read the fish's minds. Really? And why is that?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Because I feel like it's more of a defensive thing. If I wanted to go swimming or sharking, I could be able to figure out what the shark is thinking, where the shark is going. Oftentimes I like to get on the back of porpoise and swim. Not technically a fish. Well. Mammal. You didn't let me finish.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I do apologize. We never got to it, but you can read the mind of anything that you think is a fish, if it's a fish or not. Right. So in that case. Yeah, porpoises, all good. And beavers. Beaver fish.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Bloody poos. No, no. Beavers good. And beavers. Beaver fish. Bloody moose. No, no. Beavers smell like fish. I don't get that joke. I don't get it. I don't get it. I'll Google it later.
Starting point is 00:37:52 But I don't get that joke. Let's Google it together. Turned into a Red Fox party album. How do you know? I'm so offended. Alright, so we have one vote for reading- I'm a knight of the realm! They're reading fish's minds.
Starting point is 00:38:11 And, uh, DamcerALW, how do you like to vote? Well, I do like the idea of these fish being assaulted by my sexy thoughts. It's almost like someone watching you while you make love to a carburetor indeed as I make passionate love to a 1974 dodge dart So yes, I know erotic Speaking my language English is it dodge start in 1974 dodge dart like
Starting point is 00:38:41 language. English. Is a Dodge Dart in 1974 Dodge Dart like a 2003 Angelina Jolie to you? Of course it is. You've pinpointed it exactly. Okay. Covered with tattoos. Tattoos. Cartatoos.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Cartatoos. So yes, I want these fish to be thinking of my thoughts. Fantasms. And just, you like the idea of these. Fantasms? Did you say phantasms? No, no, no. No, the ball with the little spike. Is it here? That's, there's... Everyone hide! Alright, so we have one for reading the fish's minds and one for the fish reading their minds.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Can we turn up the heat? Is that possible? Yeah, no problem. We'll, uh, let me tally the votes. Oh, Dame Sir, looks like you won that round. My first time out! Yes. I didn't know that I played this game before. We have one last question. That was worth one point, and our last question is worth 100 points, so it's anyone's game. Um, alright, so...
Starting point is 00:39:36 Who's the judge? We tallied up the points. There's no judge, it's a point system, so it makes it fair. Fair's fair. Uh, it's like boxing, it's a point system, so it makes it fair. Fair's fair. It's like boxing, you know? I mean, if one of the judges were just to decide this guy boxed better, it wouldn't be fair, but instead there's a point system. That's right, and also one fellow gets knocked to the ground. Alright, so here we go.
Starting point is 00:40:00 This comes to us from Aritek, Aritek I believe. Would you rather own a magical penny or have a nose that was able to lift off like a jet pack after every sneeze? Would you rather own a magical penny or have a nose that was able to lift off like a jet pack after every sneeze? I'm opening the floor for questions. I have a question. All right, Dancer ALW. When I sneeze and this nose lifts off like a jetpack, it should be as a jetpack
Starting point is 00:40:32 does. Does my nose detach itself from my face and fly up into the stratosphere? Basically, your nose detaches from your face and you then straddle your nose much like in Doctor Strangelove how that cowboy straddled the bomb and you sort of wave your cowboy hat around. A la Slim Pickens? Slim Pickens that is exactly who I was thinking of. Of whom I was thinking. It seems that it would be and let me ask you if it is, is it rather difficult to straddle my own nose?
Starting point is 00:41:06 No, actually your nose is perfectly contoured towards your knees. So that the little indentations on the side just it's almost like riding a motorcycle and just yeah. But now when I sneeze does my nose go into position and then I'm able to straddle it and take off? Yes, basically you go achoo and then I'm able to straddle it and take off? Yes, basically you go, achoo! And then you hear, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr This is every time I sneeze. Every single time you sneeze. Is it possible to sneeze in this scenario twice in a row? Oh, you don't want to do that. You don't want to do that. I don't want to. But I have no control over it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no rather? Oh no, Dave's for ALW, please. Don't ask me any questions about sneezing twice in a row because that is far too dangerous.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Just know you sneeze once, once is all that is safe to do. Your nose detaches from your face, you hear that countdown that we all know so well, lift off imminent in five, four, three, nose, one. Three, nose, one. And then you straddle it by then hopefully and you take off into the wild blue yonder. Follow up question. One. And then, you straddled it by then, hopefully, and you take off into the Wild Blue Yonder. Follow-up question!
Starting point is 00:42:28 Yes! ALW, I recognize you for the following. Ladies and gentlemen of the Would You Rather panel, may I ask, am I in control of when and how often I sneeze? Well, you can the quantity of sneezes I guess I'm asking you can pluck out your nostril hairs to try to sneeze So if you ever see like a cat stuck in a tree You sit there plucking out your nostril hairs and eventually it works and your nose detaches from your face
Starting point is 00:43:01 Then you hear that countdown that we all know and your nose detaches from your face, then you hear that countdown that we all know. What is it again? Countdown imminent? Lift off imminent. Five, four, three, nose one. And then you grab onto the nose and you pluck that cat out.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Grab onto the nose. Yeah, you straddle it. And you grab that cat out of the tree on your way up. And then once you get down, you hand the cat over to its owners, presuming know who they are or you keep it whatever is your choice that day one more follow-up and then a sidebar yes we have time for one more follow-up and one more sidebar do I my follow-up do I enjoy riding my own nose is it pleasurable is it fun it's exciting the it hurts at first to detach from your face
Starting point is 00:43:45 But then it is the most fun thing you will ever do in your life. All right my sidebar. Mm-hmm Zachary doesn't seem to be asking many questions Well, it's hard to get in here. I must say you're an expert at playing the game. Thank you all. Yes. So Zach, do you have a question though? I will recognize you We haven't heard a lot about the other scenario by by the way, the magic penny. Magic penny. Not a word. Not a word. Hi, my question is...
Starting point is 00:44:08 Yes. So if one has allergies and sneezes a lot, it could be a terrible thing. Depending on how often you like to go riding around in the sky. Well there's a... Oftentimes the sneezes are inconvenient. And if a sneeze is inconvenient, I would imagine a trip to space as you've done with Richard Branson. Indeed. So you've already done that. Yes. So you should consider that your answer
Starting point is 00:44:34 as well. May I ask this? Oh wow, okay. We never got to a question from Zach. Zach raises an interesting... It's more of a rumination from him. I have one question. Is he going to keep asking questions? When the nose is detached and I'm writing it, is it still able to sneeze? Please, please. Damster ALW, I beg of you. Do not ask me any questions about further sneezing. It's really grotesque. We don't want to frighten young children who have been listening to this. How shall I ever sleep again?
Starting point is 00:45:10 Not for the ladies to listen to. It's not polite conversation. I would imagine ladies aren't listening to this to begin with. Would you be able to, with the magic penny, make a request? Thank you for using the British reflection. Sorry, I'm wearing an envelope.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I appreciate it. Here's how the magic penny works. You get one wish, as long as it's a wish for making your nose detach and riding around Sorry, I'm wearing an envelope. I appreciate it. Here's how the magic penny works. Okay. You get one wish, as long as it's a wish for making your nose detach and riding around when you sneeze. That's my question. Yeah. So any other wish will not be recognized by the magic penny.
Starting point is 00:45:34 No other wish would be recognized? No. That is the only wish that we... Okay, then I have my answer if that's the case. Okay, great. Any last questions? One final question. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:45:43 For wishing incorrectly, is there any penalty or punishment from the magical penny? Yes, the magical penny as a punishment will make your nose detach from your face anytime you sneeze, and then make you ride around on it. I think I know what I'm going to do. Okay, so let's vote here. Zach, how do you like to vote?
Starting point is 00:46:01 I'm gonna have to go with the nose scenario. And why is that? Because of what you said last. That the only wish that I would be granted from the magical penny would be that my nose become detached. But you never have to wish that if you don't want to. I thought you said that was the only- Sure, that's the only wish that you can get, but it's not to say that you have to-
Starting point is 00:46:21 Oh, you're saying that I don't have to wish it? No, you can just put that penny- So it's a question- You can just spend that penny if you want. Let me retract. No, I'm sorry, but you already voted. No, no, it's not to say that you have to. Oh, you're saying that I don't have to wish it? No, you can just put that penny, you can just spend that penny if you want. No, I'm sorry, but you already voted. No, no, it's unfair. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You misled, you misled.
Starting point is 00:46:31 I misled no one, sir. This sounds like those. You're out of order. Santa Monica town meetings they have on KCRW. The Bell town meetings. All right, Dame Sir ALW, how do you like to vote? Bear in mind that Zach, perhaps incorrectly, voted for the nose. Well, knowing myself as I do, if I had that magical penny, I'd probably inadvertently
Starting point is 00:46:55 blurt out something like, I wish my nose would detach from my face every time I sneeze and I could ride it like a jetpack into the stratosphere. After a countdown. After a countdown that we're all familiar with Last off imminent in five four three nose one. Yes So I'm going to choose that scenario, okay So you vote for the penny and that of course is the correct because then I've got a penny Yes, and that is the correct answer which Zack did not hit upon unfortunately voted
Starting point is 00:47:25 So Dame sir Sarah ALW... I did vote for a penny. No, you didn't. No, you voted for the no. Oh, right. Unfortunately, which means you have lost the round, which means Dame Sarah ALW is our big winner. A perfect game.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Does that mean the contestant must leave? Must find the egress. No, but that is a perfect example of how you play Would You Rather. Perfect. Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy Piven. I wonder if people sang that to him when he was... That sounded like Piljim. That is of course how you play Would You Rather.
Starting point is 00:48:09 A stirring round, gentlemen. Thank you so much. That was fantastic. Well, we only have time for our greatest and most final of all features on the show. Finally, I've been thinking about it all program. The one that everyone... Zach, don't look so defeated. It's the quickest, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Oh it is. Okay, very good. You don't have to do anything? It's the feature that everyone loves the most. They can't wait to get to it. Much like you, gentlemen. It is, of course, time for plugs. It's time to have a good time, the night's been away, the way you take it It's time to have a good time, how do you say, where will it be?
Starting point is 00:48:50 You listen to the show, find out she's gone, baby It's time to have a good time, speed it up, knock on all the drums It's time to have a good time, come on, and wake my head That is, of course, a plug theme sent to us by the Ornithologian. That was pretty good, I enjoyed that. It's a clever name. Yes, a person who worships birds. Yes, I suppose so, believes in the divinity of birds.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Yeah, I wonder how the legend of Ga'hul... Ga'Hul! Yes, I'm sorry, I mispronounced it. How they would feel about that. Well, we'll never know. Well, they're going to Owl Hell because the murderers And the suicide. Do you think if you get owl murdered you go to hell really? You go straight to heaven. If an owl murders you? Then you go to Owl Heaven. You go- unfortunately it's Owl Heaven.
Starting point is 00:49:40 But if you commit owl suicide you go to Owl Hell? No, I think you go to purgatory. Oh, okay. You ever seen the documentary the staircase? Yes Well, that's the new defense is owl an owl attack Really? An owl pushed two of my wives down the stairs to their deaths I don't know if the one in Germany, but the one in Durham, North Carolina. Yes All right, don't know what you're talking about. You don't? You've never seen it? No, never seen it.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Floyd, you've seen it. Andrew Floyd. Weber. Finally someone pronounces it correctly. You've seen that documentary, right? Yes I have. It's true though. Owl Attack is the new defense. Or they're trying to make that the defense.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Do you feel that fellow would have been acquitted if he listened to his lawyers and trimmed his eyebrows? They begged him to do it and he wouldn't do it. Uh, no idea what you're talking about. I think most of the listeners will know. Yeah, probably everyone. Okay, so this is of course time for plugs, so we want to get these out of the way. Zach, what do you have to plug? Obviously you have due date coming out. Any day note? November? November 5.
Starting point is 00:50:49 5? Yep. That's what I have. And how about the... it's kind of a funny story. That comes out... or that's already out. That's already out, and did people enjoy that? I think so. I think it was... it's still number one at the box office. Great, I had no idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Toppled Iron Man 2? Uh... You mean number one for the box office. Great, I had no idea. Toppled Iron Man 2? You mean number one for the entire year, right? Yeah, as we speak now, it's still number one. Fantastic. And you're filming a movie that'll come out... You got one in the can, maybe? And then another one coming out? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Filming as we speak in Thailand. That's right, and the news broke so we can talk about that. Just flew in for this. Yes, thank you so much for coming in, and Board to Death is still on. Is it? I understand that show is hammocking. I don't know if I was saying that about, oh yeah, I was, yes.
Starting point is 00:51:39 That's what I'm saying. Right. I read the trades every day. Have you heard that? Oh, I read the trades every day. Have you heard that? Have you heard that? Oh, I read the trades every day. Right. And then Between Two Ferns just came out with Bruce Will Hiss, right?
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yeah. And well-received, probably. We don't know. We'll see. We'll see. I gotta look at the results. Yeah, I gotta check. Do they report that in the trades?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Yes. They talk a lot about web shorts. Web shorts. How about web longs? ALW. Yep, you know, Scotty. ALW root beer. I'd like to, I've never heard that before. That's kind of cute isn't it? That's too clever. I would, if I may, like to cede my plug time to a comedian of which I'm a great fan. And admirer. I love your taste in comedy. You mentioned him earlier, comedian Paul F. Tompkins. One of the best. He's got two shows coming up in the month of November. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:33 November 13th in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oh, thank goodness, not regular Columbia. In the country of Canada, he can be seen at the Rio Theater. Tickets have just gone on sale, so please do buy a ticket if you're a Vancouverian. Go see. Or even perhaps if you live in Seattle, you can make the drive up there.
Starting point is 00:52:56 That's true! It's a wonderful drive and... Take a trip to another country, another land! Yeah, to see the company. You'll be back in time for supper, if you eat a late supper. Yes, if you eat roughly at midnight. Yes, if you eat roughly at midnight Yes, are you some sort of monster?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Floyd is that part of the comedy festival? No, it is not. The comedy festival is long over. Right. It's in September, right? Yeah. Yes already occurred. Yes It occurred quite some time ago. The Rio theater What's that? The Rio theater. I'm just making sure that... Oh yes, the Rio Theater. Is that the movie theater? Thank you, Zechariah Ray.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Is that the movie theater? It is a movie theater. That watermelon runs? She did. But she doesn't anymore? All right. This one's run by a person. And what is your second date?
Starting point is 00:53:40 My... well, Paul F. Tompkins' second date. Yes, that's right. The Paul F. Tompkins Show at Largo at the Coronet in West Hollywood. Special musical guest Ben Lee. Oh! Who's from Australia. So he is the descendant of thieves and rapists. Saw him at the old Largo.
