What a welcome my gosh
Although wasn't wasn't someone saying boo the entire time why is it I only hear that
Austin, Texas so great to be here in the paramount theater love it love it here
I hear a little feedback anyone hearing that little just a little hum
Oh, no, it's just some guy going
Still hearing it
Guys so wonderful to be here in one of my favorite towns in the United States of a Austin, Texas
I
Believe approximately 12 or 13 years or so ago. I started the comedy at South by Southwest here. So this is
It's wonderful to be back. I love this theater. I've seen so many great movies here
And the one with the train going towards the audience scared the fucking shit out of me
Ah
Right here
Interesting um, oh I forgot hey, hey, hey, I forgot to do this last night. Here we go
Let's get a catchphrase going open that app
Open that app
Uh
Jupiter Neptune and Saturn they give me no glee
Uranus is the only true gas giant for me. Welcome to comedy bang bang
See someone shaking their head right there
Does not approve. Uh, thank you to call waiting for gado for that wonderful catchphrase submission
Catchphrase super star
We have an exciting show for you tonight. Uh, let me ask by
Round of applause. Let's do it tonight. Who here has no idea what the fuck this is or why they're here
Enjoy your evening
Because that catchphrase that's pretty much it
Um comedy bang bang is uh
You know the last time we toured it was
We were sort of calling it the show where we talked to interesting people
We're not doing that anymore. Um
Interesting people will come out here. We will talk to them, but I found it reductive. I think uh
We were calling it america's podcast and then I realized
You know, we're going to canada and and and other places. So that was reductive. So I think uh
Uh humanities podcast
Is what it became
Uh, now we're changing into humanities podcast and the animal kingdoms podcast
So
In any case what you're going to see here is uh, I'm a host. It's sort of like a talk show
Uh, I'm a host. We're going to bring some guests out here. We're going to talk to them
And we're going to have interesting conversations and we have some great guests tonight
Coming up a little bit later. We have a musician
Very exciting
We have an actor
Okay
Uh, and I believe we have uh, well, I don't want to spoil who our first guess will be we'll get to that in a second
But before we get to that
Are you guys ready?
For the most exciting two minutes
of
Your entire fucking lives
Because it's time for what I call the balcony report
No, no, no, no, no, no, I hear you up in the balconies getting very excited
This is not your time to shine
I'm not here to say hello to you
I'm not here to give you a wave or shout you out at all
The balcony report is merely an opportunity for me
To relay to the audience how many balconies are in this venue
Oh, I know
Hold on to your butts and glasses
Because I am pleased to report that the paramount theater in austin, texas has two balconies
Oh
What a hi I'm coming down from that. Oh my god
Wow, I'm still hearing it by the way, maybe it never goes away
Please please don't torment me
Well, we have a great show for you tonight. Uh, are you guys ready to get this started because I'm ready
Yeah
I'm gonna rearrange the microphones here
Okay
Good
Let's get to our first guest
He's in the aviation industry
He is
a pilot who
Famously landed a plane somewhere where it shouldn't have been. Please welcome. Chelsea sully sullenberger
You
Chesley, thank you. Thank you scott. Chesley is what I meant to say. What did you say earlier at chelsea chelsea?
That's all right, but you must be used to that. It's an unusual name and of course people have
Given many different variations on it the most popular being chelsea
What other variations are the one of the unpopular ones one time I got jingle
In what situation did that happen was it getting coffee or yes, I was getting I was getting coffee at the airport
and
I gave my name at the counter of course
chesley and
I stood there for quite a long time almost missed a flight waiting to hear my name called
And then somebody screamed where the hell is chingle
And the gentleman behind the counter looked at me and said chingle come on man
You're ruining my day
He said I was ruining his day
You know you talk about walking through the airport and and you know almost missing your flights
You must be a celebrity in the airport. So you must be walking around given like did you hear my chingle story?
So this was post
This is post the this was post the miracle on the Hudson miracle on the Hudson, which I do not call a miracle
it was training and
Competency that landed that plane that day and saved all the souls inside
Yeah, thank you. Thank you
Thank you
How many souls were inside?
You know, I honestly can't remember. It was a full flight
So a lot of middle seats a lot of middle seats
I always feel bad for them, you know, we have a little camera where we can see people get on the plane
You do like a candid camera like a ring cam. Yeah, like a ring cam. Yeah
When we watch the middle seat people and how unhappy they are
And my heart goes out to them, of course. I have the best seat on the plane. I like to say yeah
Or I did like to say I'm I'm no longer an active
Uh airline pilot, of course, I've retired. I did not know that
Yes
Why well when they were going to make the movie sully starring tom hanks
I thought I had a pretty good shot at the role. So I immediately retired
They did let me audition and you can imagine how
humiliating it was that I
Did not meet the criteria to portray myself on screen
I have to ask
Should I call you chesley or or sully is what everyone calls me sully. Everyone calls you sully, uh, which except for my mother
What what does she call you jingle?
Hmm
That's a tough bill to swallow
It is
I mean my mother was a gentle soul. I miss her dearly. I'm assuming she's dead and um
And uh
You know to hear a barista yelling jingle you're ruining everything. Um, you know that really that coming to the quick
What I have to ask sully, what did you do for your audition?
I
Prepare two monologues a comedic and a dramatic
Did you do 16 bars of a music of a song? Yes, I did
I sang a what a beautiful morning
Just in case just in case that you know, maybe it was a musical they stopped me singing immediately
I opened with that and um, they said that's not necessary
um
and then I did a monologue from danie and the deep blue sea and uh
For my comedic, um, I did um
What did I do?
I think it was most of an episode of uh new heart
It's a long monologue. Yeah, I played all the characters. I mean it wasn't the entire episode
Was it the the beginning half or the the back half? It was the beginning half. I hummed the theme song as well
I described the various things we were seeing as the theme song played
What were they? I don't remember. How did that go? Well, there's of course it took place at an inn in vermont and you would see
You know the inn you'd see beautiful, um
Footage of vermont b-roll they call it. I learned that
Uh as I was struggling for the term
someone mercifully
Told me it's called b-roll
And uh, and then you see the stars of the show, um, bob new heart and uh, mary fran
Peter scolari. Well, he was later originally was steven campman. Um, but I decided to go he only lasted uh one season
I believe so I decided to go with the more recognizable names. Peter scolari, julia duffy
tom poston
Well, they there were the ones in the main credits. What about uh,
William sanderson, I don't believe he was in the main credits
He was a frequent guest star, but he was not a series regular
Nor were his brothers darrell and his other brother darrell
That was my question, obviously, obviously
So
How did you read you hadn't gotten the part or or I was told immediately immediately. Yes
And I said can I still do my denny and z plus c?
And the answer was no
But my parking was validated and uh, I was given a free bottle of water
So all in all not a bad day
It's interesting when you park on the land you need to get validated, but when you park on the sea you're a hero
I understand what you're trying to do
I appreciate that
But we call it landing
Not parking
But why didn't you call it
seeing
Because you when you're landing you're on the land
Because we call it a water landing and it's very unlikely
Not on that day on that day was 100 percent certain
But you understand that when you take a flight usually they'll say in the unlikely event of a water landing
We don't call it a seeing you know what I like is when you're watching the safety video
Which I hope you do intently. Of course even if you're an experienced flyer
And and the uh, the masks are are falling down from the little compartment above you. They're dropping. They're not falling down
It's on purpose gravity takes us all
Too true scott
so they're dropping down
and
I assume this would be a very tense situation in the plane
It is but in every safety video everyone has to act like it's the most natural
Fun thing to ever happen. That's to put everyone at ease
What's funny is the the most tense thing that can happen during any flight is not for the
The masks the oxygen to mask to drop down
And a lot of people don't realize this the most
tense moment of any flight
Is when the instruction on the seatbelts is given and the phrase low and tight across your lap is uttered
It is unconsciously sexual and
Everyone feels it
And there is a moment there where we decide whether or not we're going to continue with society
Or whether we will engage in a caligula like orgy on the plane
In all my experience people have aired on the side of good
Never happened in the caligula style. I've heard tell of it happening, but that might just be flight school
hygiene
So wow you gave it all up and then tom hanks, I mean
Look, he's a great actor. He's won the academy award twice a terrific actor two-time academy award winner as you say
um
Has he been ever nominated again or were people like what the hell were we doing? I don't know
Why would they be you just conceded that he is a very good actor?
I don't know why the academy would suddenly say what the hell were we doing
Don't you agree though? I think it should be one and done when it comes to those things. Yeah, yes
Give some other people chances because you know what I mean if if look if everyone knew that tom hanks would never win another award
He would never get cast in anything and maybe you could have been cast in that part. That's right
That's also why I've never landed another plane on the Hudson give somebody else to try
That day
Let's talk about that faithful day that faithful day with all those souls on that plane. Hey, thanks for bringing it up
I I never really get to talk about it
I
I'm surprised more people haven't been interested really so you go over to parties
I go over to parties constantly
How many parties a guy like you go to I go to four parties a week
Always I get invited to seven
Who's having these monday parties?
Some very carefree people that I know. They have a standing monday party
Rotating guest list. I am the only person who's been invited to every single monday and I go to every other one
So you go to parties and people are just like hey celly and this never comes up with anyone
I think it's like, you know being a very beautiful woman where you assume you don't have a shot and
Uh
People think he doesn't want to talk about that and they're right. I don't oh you don't want to talk about it
Well, I was just I was watching that movie
When it came out I thought it was so interesting because the the actual event only took place over the course of 17 minutes or so
Yes, and but it's a two hour movie. That's right and obviously
The first hour was boarding and preboarding. Yes
Calling the various groups
Some people they have too many things they have to check one
There was all the confusion of you know, the wait, I'm b58. Oh wait. No, I'm standing in a 58 that southwest airlines
Oh, this wasn't southwest. This was united airlines. This was united. Yes
We don't have that system
I beg your apologies
granted
So, uh, uh, but but how did they fill up the rest of the film? I'm not really remembering was it was there like a trial afterwards of like
Hey, sully. Why did you do that? There was a trial, uh
People thought I was hotdogging. Um
Some people thought I was trying to impress a girl
Uh, was there a girl out there on the Hudson who there there was not? I mean, obviously
Uh, when you're a pilot you do hear a lot of tales of sirens who will uh lower planes to the to the sea
Uh, it's really any
Any large craft can be distracted by sirens
Um, and you would think being high up in the sky you wouldn't even hear the siren song
But it is supernatural in nature. So of course
Uh, it's a danger to all pilots and co-pilots for that better not navigators interestingly enough
Nor nor the rest of the flight crew
So you're saying that's not what happened. That is not what happened
But there was a, uh, you know, there's a moment during the trial
Trial scene where, uh, the character of sully not played by me. Um
Um
The judge the the aviation judge says mr. Sullivan and he's mr. Sullivan and I you know the character cracks him sullenberger
um
Mr. sullenberger
What exactly did you think you were doing up there? It's a very, uh, I wish I could do voices
But you have to trust me that he sounded very angry
Right. Yeah, could you do you want to give it a try? I'll try it. Yeah, mr. Sullivan
sullenberger
Mr. sullenberger
What did you think you were doing up there? That's very good
Thank you so much. And then the character of sully closes his eyes
And he imagines all sorts of scenarios, uh, that take place in the in the blink of an eye
Like a last temptation of christ kind of thing. It's precisely
Yes
In one of them he is doing loop-to-loops just for fun
In one of them he clambers onto the outside of the plane converts it into a submarine
In one of them he drops a tab of uh lsd and uh just freaks out
um
A siren scenario was uh
Was uh depicted and uh in one he does have sex with mary magdalene in the cockpit
Cuts to her pregnant in another plane. I thought that was a questionable choice. I don't know why
Are they implying the train the plane traveled through time? I don't I didn't understand that right weird movie. It's a very weird movie
Dads love it
You go over for father's day. It's a sure bet someone's gonna say hey, let's turn on sully Thanksgiving
I mean tom hanks really is uh doing a service to the dads of america
Bridge of spies sully, I mean
He's really turning them out making movies for topics they care about that's right. He loves world war two and space
Wait a minute
This is a good idea world war two in space
Scott how would that happen?
I mean you'd have to have world war one in space first
why
do
Do you think in world war two they retraced their steps for world war one
Fought in all the exact same places
Wouldn't that be cool though if like nazis had like spaceships would that be cool?
Very curious phrase wouldn't it be cool if nazis had spaceships
Has this show changed since the last time I was here
As a boy, are you feeling a bunch of pride lately?
I just think it would be cool of like, you know, we don't really know where hitler went to we do he went into the ground
It would be funny if you like came back like
The big rocket ship would be funny blast away at people this
Scott i'm concerned for you
It would be funny if hitler came back on a rocket ship blasting away at people
I beg of you to reconsider
The thoughts that you're having think of the words that you're saying it's an interesting visual
Do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?
You have such an interesting even tempered voice. Thank you
You mentioned you sang. Oh, what a beautiful morning. Yes. Do you I mean, you can you sing really?
Uh, I can carry a tune. I suppose I wouldn't call myself, uh, a luciano paviratti
Here let me give you a song sure
Safe flight repair
Safe flight replace all right
Safe flight repair safe life replace
Pretty good. I mean I've seen that commercial a thousand times. That's a real earworm for me
So
What am I doing here in austin? Yeah, yes
Scott i'm glad you prompted me to ask you to ask me
I'm getting into the restaurant business
The devil you say
It's true
Restaurant tour
Hopefully we'll see chesley sully sullenberger. Yes, chef. Yes. Yes. Yes, chel. Yes, chef
Yes, chess. No
No, scott
What kind of restaurant would a
Obviously would be aviation themed I hope yes the the restaurant itself would be shaped like a jumbo jet
You get on there and uh, you know someone greets you they're wearing a
an aviation uniform
And they say, uh, show me your ticket
Well that until the cat part I was like
You were like what
Just didn't know how that was gonna go
It's a very brief window of time in which you could have that thought
It's almost like something out of the movie sully. Yes
chef and
So you mime showing them a ticket. Oh, you have to mind you don't get a ticket when you come in. No, that just seemed wasteful
Um, it's a restaurant. Do people's mime skills have to be like at a certain level?
I have rudimentary I would suppose
Okay basic
Like but you can't just
like
Go like this
You have to be using your your thumb and you have to pretend you're holding something. Right. Yeah, so so basic
The the gesture that you indicated
It's very hard to describe. It's just holding your
Splayed hand out and waving it in a circle
Yeah, that's not miming
That's what I'm saying. Yes, you won't just take anyone. I guess you have to your your skill your mime skill level depends on
Do you know what miming is?
If someone were to do this you would turn them away with extreme
Okay, so they they come in they've shown this person the ticket. Yes, then someone dressed as a
A serve what do they call them these days?
It was a stewardess when I first started working as a pilot and then became flight attendant. Yes, sorry
So the flight attendant will show them to their table, which of course is
two airline seats on the plane side by side and
The flight attendant will flip the trays down for them
From the chairs in front of them or there are chairs from the chairs in front of them
We we thought about doing first-class seats, but we thought that's going to take up too much room and
Unnecessarily divide the diners so they're all coach seats
How many seats does the restaurant
Have well as a jumbo so it has two tiers
Yes, and we can fit
I almost said comfortably
but we could fit
We could fit 250 people
Wow. Yes, that's a big restaurant. It's a big restaurant
Well, I mean there are restaurants that size aren't there that could fit 250 people
Well, if you look at a four-top, that's four people, right?
Correct. It's like 60 tables
60 times four is 240. Yeah 62 tables
and a half
A one-top
A two-top two-top
I guess there are restaurants that big. I mean in your you know, plaza hotels and the like
So you're expecting a lot of business. Well, yes, because when they hear they can always get a reservation
Walk-ins are welcome naturally
You still have to mind the ticket though, right?
And then the the cuisine served will be of course airline food
Which to from my money is the best cuisine in the world
Do you guys get airline? I know you're not a pilot anymore, but when you were I do have it delivered though
From the does the airplane land in front of your house it's um
It's uber eats sky
And uh a little gyrocopter will uh a guy in a gyrocopter will bring you food from the airplane
The gyrocopters are cute aren't they they're adorable. They're the most precious uh of the air air air worthy vehicles
They're so fun. They're like two big bug eyes. Yes
And like a big bug tail. I mean they look like a bug. They look like bugs. Yeah, and of course they couldn't be more lethal
Uh, if you if you flying one for long enough you are certain to die
What where do people they're the motorcycles of the sky
But they're so cute motorcycles are not cute like the gyros no motorcycles are threatening uh as our most land conveyances
As you know, I don't care for them
Cars buses trucks jeeps, you know, we talked to your brother
On the show a while back. I don't have a brother
Maybe he was from an alternate dimension
Berge another dimension another dimension another dimension another dimension another dimension
Never mind so, uh airline food, uh
And served in airline portions
And of course the the flight attendant when the people are settled in their seat
The flight attendant will ask them, uh, have you died with us before?
Uh, we do things a little differently here
You order off the menu and we bring you that thing
Right
Every other place is doing tapas these days. Yes
Small plates small plates. I get it great for sharing great for sharing
I'd recommend that for the bill five of these and four of these
Yeah
And they all cost the exact same thing is like when you go into a regular place the thing about
Tapas that really bothers me as it forces you to
Be in a position of a week and a helpless child asking will this be enough will this be enough
And then the the server is forced in a position of mommy saying if you're hungry we can give you more
It's very infantilizing and uh, you're not going to get that in my restaurant
No
Are there are there seats near the exits?
There are seats near the exits. Yes always. Do you need a verbal yes that
Yes, we go through that whole thing
And but the question is a little different, uh, the flight attendant will ask, uh
If you sit in the seat, do you agree to have a great time tonight?
Does anyone ever say no
They do but then uh, the server says come on just play along
So can I ask what is this place called?
sully's crash pad
Now I know what you're thinking
This you know what I'm thinking I debated using the word crash
Because that's not a word that I associate with sully sullenberger. No, and it's certainly not a word you want to associate with any pilot
uh, but
Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing and um, the plane is permanently grounded
It's not a real plane anyway, so uh, oh, it's it's not it's it's constructed to look like a plane
And also has a a jet engine
And could be it could take off at any moment
So it is air worthy
It is air worthy and there will be a flight crew in the cockpit of the restaurant
And if I give them this signal they will begin taxiing and then
Take off I I my dream is to have the restaurant situated
on a very long
strip of highway
So that if they need to they can't take off. Why would they why would they need to take off?
Scott there are some things I I I'm not sure that I'm privy to tell you
Did that sound right that sentence? No, I'm privy to tell you. No, you're not loud. I'm not a liberty. It's liberty. That's what we're that's what we're
Liberty such a great word
Agreed
You do you know that song that has it in the
Liberty liberty liberty
Oh, yeah, of course
I've seen that commercial a million times can't get it on my head liberty liberty liberty
What about what about the guy going liberty liberty?
I forgot about it
You know who I like is that emu from the liberty mutual commercial
although that that other emu
is
Trying to steal his thunder the one that's always fucking with the camera and
Immanuel
But you know I read recently there's another emu that that saved someone's life
This is
Someone's Instagram story. I don't recall all the details and I I rather wish I hadn't brought it up
I can do some further research on that after my segment has concluded so I can update you all on this heroic flightless bird
Obviously flightless birds are my favorite because they will not interfere with the jet engines
Is it only because obviously famously the one that got into your infamously infamously
I beg your pardon was the the goose the goose the goose was loose
The goose was loosened into uh many many pieces
um
The the goose's structural integrity had completely broken down
courtesy of a jet engine which it should have known better than to fly into
Um unless of course it had a thirst for human death
But that goose was thwarted that day
Is it any small consolation that at least the goose is dead? Of course it is
But only the smallest of consolations because so many geese yet roamed the earth
But with my restaurant, I aim to
Take that number down by a few we are going to be the first
exclusive goose restaurant
We will serve nothing but goose dishes
Goose every which way you can imagine
And whose responsibility is it to catch these geese? That's not something you can just go to the market and buy
Well, actually you can't go to the market and buy a goose, but uh, that's not enough for me. Um, and I do have
Uh a cadre of uh, the specialist
This is their one mission and it's also their one joy in life is to destroy geese
to bring them down and to uh
Bring them to me so that I may cook them and serve them at my restaurant
Are they killing the geese before they get to you or are they bringing them a lot?
Are you like dead or alive? Whatever dead or alive? Yes. Uh, if they do bring a live goose, I will kill it
Um, we will go into the octagon and it'll just be me and the goose so I'll
I will strip to the waist the goose has a fair chance
But I what I like to say is uh, we're fighting on my terms now
Couldn't the goose just fly away or not in the octagon? No
Hmm
There's a roof on it
You have a roof on your octagon, of course for for just such an occasion
It's nice. It's pretty nice octagon
Where'd you get it? Can I do you mind me asking? Uh, you know, it was a prefab. It's one of those kits. Yeah
But the roof was my idea
Have you ever had goose chili?
I can't say that I have come to sell these crash pad
Um
Have you ever had a PB and G?
Wow what a menu
Basically, it's any food you can think of but with goose
Well, this is exciting, uh, and when when's the opening? Uh, the opening hopefully will be next month
I just need investors
I
It seems a little like the timetable is a little too compressed
I don't think so because once I get the investors, which should be the easiest part
Then I will build the plane
Hire the staff
Um, you know ground up all the geese
Have you hired the staff of the the goose killers? Oh, yes, that team is still working. Oh, yes
Yeah, are they on your dime at this point? Yes, they are and happily so
It is my great pleasure to know that there are geese being slaughtered
This time it's personal
It never wasn't Scott
Well, good luck to you sully. I mean, uh, I don't I I don't know that I can invest. Uh, maybe someone in this crowd is willing to invest
I mean
It sounds like four people are willing to invest
I'm well on my way. How much money do you need for this functional airplane? A half a billion dollars
Sully sullenberger everyone

Dean wanes dean wade said he heard a loud screeching noise near his workplace in wilshire southwest england
On monday and raced out to see a jeep careening before smashing into the front of an empty shop
In an interview with the washington post on wednesday wade who has been working at the old bell hotel
In malmsbury for only two weeks said he could see the driver who appeared drunk was getting ready to back away from the scene
A female passenger had left the vehicle
There's no way you're going anywhere wade told the man
Who he said was swaying and staggering all over the place
He said the man was determined to escape heading off on foot though unable to run fast due to his physical state
Wearing his slip resistant rubber kitchen clogs and chef's overalls
wade chased the driver for 15 to 20 minutes
Through bushes a lot missing gardens before the pair ended up at an animal sanctuary
This was when the real confrontation began
I could see this massive emu wade said i'm six foot tall and it was bigger than me
Wade said he could tell the bird which was surrounded by its offspring
Was likely to spring into defense if anyone intruded on its enclosure
Mate don't go in there wade warned the man
Who he said ignored his advice replying?
I can fight crime
Sorry, I don't have my spectacles on I can fight emus
And even crazier thing to say
Before heading into the animal's bed
Where he was repeatedly pecked
It was stabbing his body all over wade said causing the man to curse and unsuccessfully attempt to kung fu kick the animal away
The bird kept stabbing at the driver who eventually gave up fled the pen and headed toward a river
While wade took the opportunity to flag down a nearby police car
There the emu exits the story and it stops being interesting to me
But I will say one final note
Is that the picture they use in the article is not the exact emu but just a stock photo of an emu
And they note that underneath the picture
Wow
That chef should have cooked that bird
Rock
What do you think of that I mean and pretty crazy, huh?
Well the man said he wasn't running that fast, but did he chase him for 20 minutes?
He had to been going at a reasonable speed
Remember he was in his rubber chef's clogs
Rubber chef clogs move wrong
Woof woof woof. I'm a dog
MC sugar, but this is what I wanted to bring up. What is that?
For people who don't know MC sugar, but who stand up right now sit your pants do a little dance or city dance
You were you you were one of the original
Uh
People who started doing hip hop back in the early 80s
That is correct
And then something happened, huh?
What
Well, you know your story better than anyone better than me perhaps, but you you uh fell into a coma
Well, let me tell you about me scotty d
Fell into a coma in 83
And you you just woke up a few years ago it's been a few years now
Okay
Pretty much used to things at this point
It's all the new styles of hip hop you've
grown accustomed to you've listened to them
But I refuse to relate to those little kids
Now what do you think I mean?
It must be such a shock to the system to hear like you know
Hip hop the way you used to do it and now people are like the real way the real way
Yeah, the delivery fucking dance
Oh
I did adopt profanity
But now people now people are out there going like and stuff behind everyone do it again or do it again
Please scotty do it again
Thank you scotty d for doing that for me
What was the accident that got you into that coma?
Welcome
I was
I was at an evangelical event
And I caught the Holy Ghost and fell and hit my head that was it. That's right
Could have been so many things though. I mean your mind could have been so many things
my mind is a
pot of stew
Carrots and potatoes and roast too
See beef broth
Eli Roth
Eli Roth
That's my favorite do that is what he does
Out of out of every dude that does what he does. He's the best at it. He's an actor, correct?
No, sometimes
What else does he do? He's a director. Oh
What do you do?
Uh hostile
Right. I've seen that someone said no. Is that not right? He did direct hostile. He did direct hostile. He did direct hostile
So shut your ass up
I saw that movie. It was really gross. I like hot butter on my breakfast toast
Hot butter jelly and jam too
So MCs
So you woke up, you know needless to say you woke up the whole world was different
There were new invent. There had to be new inventions like the the the Roomba
the Roomba
From the Roomba to the tomb
My new job is to clean up graves and a graveyard with a Roomba from the Roomba to the tomb is the company name
That's your new job hire me for all your grave cleaning needs
What are the mess and see sugar butt yet? We might have the same question. Sure. What's the messiest grave you've ever seen the messiest
I'm so glad you asked selling selling burger
The messiest grave I've ever seen was right here in austin teen
Full of shit
Just someone just took a big dump on a grave when you die sometimes you relieve your bows
Stay in a hotel with really soft towels
That seems like a very fast turnaround from death to grave
Got him in there shit lives forever
But the Roomba got it up it got it up
I
End of rhyme
Do you need me to say that sky over well, I do you say end of rhyme nothing rhymed with up
Up come shut whoop whoop
Are you all right mc sugar butt? I'm about to throw up
So
This is an exciting new business opportunity for you business opportunity that I need you to invest
A lot of people wanting investments selling selling burger is wearing a vest
Yeah
How much do you I thought this business was already going you've cleaned up one grave at this point
Well, here's how it works. Scotty D. I bring you on and you bring three
And
And then they bring three and they bring three and they bring three and they bring three and they bring three
And they bring three come on selling selling burger dance with me
So it's a pyramid ski what
I do clean pyramids which are graves from the Roomba to the Tumba
What's the what's the biggest pyramid you've ever cleaned and also what's the smallest?
The biggest was in Miami
The smallest was in Egypt
That must have been a big Miami pyramid huge was this recent pyramid news
People don't know about it
I had to clean it up before they they screamed and shouted it. Wow, okay
So this is this is a good business. I mean you own this great business great business
I own it then you own it
Are you sad you're not a rapper anymore? I mean this seems like your first love
Wrapping was the first thing I had ever done in my life. Oh my god, he's went into a reverie
This is all I knew how to do
He's having a flashback
Oh
That's not true
MC sugar bud. Oh, excuse me. He crashed the plane into the sea
closer
You seem to have
gone into as scott said a reverie and your voice completely changed and
It seemed that that was not a place you wanted to stay and it's impossible
So was rap your first love that was the first thing that I ever had learned to do
From the moment I could speak I could arrive like dr. Seuss
Oh
Suddenly son of a burger you make me shake and you make me quiver you crashed the plane into a river
This is just this is factually incorrect. I it is it wasn't a crash. It was a water landing. Oh, which are highly unlikely
So
This little burger that makes you the best in my company. Would you like to invest?
I'm looking to get some capital myself so I cannot help you at this time MC sugar bud
Maybe you guys could team up though and with this business. I mean maybe
Many customers are down bound to die from goose poisoning
They will have gravestones that will poison that will be defaced
You know what goose is like to shit graves
Well, I wish you would put out an album or something. I mean it
Hip-hop seems to be what you care about. Well, I mean I feel bad for you that you're I mean you're an older gentleman now
Excuse me. He's got a D. I am only 33
You you got it at the coma years. Nope. I don't
You're in your 70s, obviously I beg to differ
I beg to differ the dead bodies get stiffer
Swift
You must have been so excited when you saw the swiffer as a new invention because I could rhyme with differ
And I use that word all the time
Finally
Finally something to rhyme with a word that was unrivaled before 1997
When I wasn't around I googled it
Oh and google I mean that's a huge thing. I mean that you know when you were still
In cyclopedia Britannica
My favorite driver is Danica Patrick Patrick hockey
See you're so good at this. I just I feel bad that you're
I feel bad you're doing this, you know business. It's obviously gonna fail. Whoa
Me?
You yeah, well both of you
Who me?
I mean you're you you both have bad business ideas. I mean who us who us
Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry to say I mean I look I didn't say it while we were talking silly
But I mean this restaurant it's hard enough to launch a restaurant. This one is just doomed to fail
You definitely did not mention that during our conversation
And
You I mean cleaning up graves how often are people shitting on graves that this is a necessary thing? I mean you'd be surprised scotty D
Every day I see a third times three
So for cleanup jobs a day for all the graves have you seen a cemetery?
Mary and Barry
Don't call me Mary and Barry your favorite mayor of all time
I mean he was great. What's good. Yeah, so much crack
Not enough of you asked me. I thought it was just enough
I just
We have a real goldilocks situation here
For crack
I just I know I'm supposed to be sort of neutral sometimes, you know as a host but
I I just can't let you guys ruin your lives like this. I mean
You both have so much going for you. I mean mc sugar, but you're a great rapper and and sully you
Landed a plane once

Right, you're you're an actor. I'm an actor come theater teacher come in pants sometimes

And music
Yep, yep, um
Um proud feminist, um
What does what does that mean to you? What?
Um
I'm nice to ladies
I carry tampons with me
So
For what purpose?
Well, you know how you always kind of see a woman go into another woman sometimes and be like, hey, sorry
Can you help me out here as a male feminist?
I say they shouldn't have to just ask women
So if I come into a room, I'll say ladies. I have a tampon also if you need one
No questions asked
But you know some men just aren't thoughtful like that
You know it costs money and stuff like that and I I'm fine to pay for it
And I'll just tell the woman, you know, I'm on venmo or whatever and
How much do you charge?
Well, it's per box, which all four of us probably know how much a box of tampons costs
Of course
Of course, we do somewhere between five and five hundred dollars
And
Of course split between we know how many come in a box. So you do that math and then 38
Say it straight. I thought it was Q min a box
So you you uh you and people you and some other teachers at Hamilton high
That's called the teachers lounge, uh and we discuss
Yeah, you guys I don't know what the auto quality of your mics is then the in the audience
So I had to put my mic up to the audience. So everyone here could hear how popular the show is
Yeah
So you uh, so you teach drama. I teach drama. I live drama. I mean life is dramas, isn't it? Um
D and D
I
Know drama indeed
Um, I got the movies also, but that's
Fx you have the deal with the movies. What's that? No, I just got the movies
you
What you remember fx got the movies has the movies
Um, but I'm here in austin rb's has the beef
They've got it they've got the beef
How do you feel about being rames doing those commercials? I have mixed emotions
To whom are you speaking?
Is this a general question to the panel? Yeah, I know solely has issues with being rames as far as your history together
Yes, he wanted you to throw the plane into the Hudson for a fee
Yes, uh, he was still in character as don king
And was trying to get me to throw the flight as it were
I refused, uh, I also advised him to change his name to something not so close to wing
Because those are sacred or it was just an idle threat
He's a very big man
Is he tall? I don't know. He's wide. He's four foot ten
Not a lot of no one about being rames. No, he remained shrouded in mystery
He didn't he doesn't even have his, uh, emmy anymore
That's right. It was buried with jack lemon
With jack lemon you heard me
He famously gave it to jack lemon. Oh, and then they was there in the crowd and then jack lemon died immediately
In the audience
And then a seat filler me I do that sometimes wasn't certain when jack lemon was sitting dead in the audience
Is this a seat I have to fill so I dumped his body onto the ground and this is the only part you remembered from that night
From which night the seat filling situation
I feel like you genuinely don't know
Um
Was it 9 11 also
Pass
Pass
You wait you can pass i'm using one of my passes
All right, you only have 240 left be careful. That's how many tampons come in the box
But I arrived in austin today because um
As a theater teacher as a man who knows people who knows the human condition
I've been doing a bit of a touring show now that the world is back open again
And everything's safe everything's safe hundred percent
It's all good. I have monkey pox
So I don't have to worry about monkey pox. I have kovat. That's why I'm so sweaty
I have longest kovat I didn't know it was a competition
I
Thankfully Guinness awarded me longest kovat recently
Um and uh, but but we're out here, you know, and it's hard. We were in our homes for two years
We didn't know how to talk to people once we were out here. You know, we didn't know how to um
I'm gonna sit back down. I don't have much more to say on that one. Oh, yeah. That was a dramatic stand. I just felt it
Yeah, no, I mean it it really felt like something was gonna happen. It's incredibly hot out here. Sorry
what
You're carrying a roll of toilet paper and you're back of your sweats
Yeah, I'm really hot
A handkerchief you didn't make fun of him
Because that's classy toilet paper's assy
All right, I guess you got me
But you know, we're out here and we you stop saying we're out here. What do you what do you mean by that?
We're um
I'm out here. He's out here. What do you tell us why you're here? Uh, what's so?
Yeah, okay
We're out here scott and and
You know, you're expected to just be normal again and through my theater training
I want to train people how to be out in the world again
You know and to be comfortable and so I'm doing a touring show called act normal
And and it's it's all about these little moments. We find in the post covet world
You know and it's it's it's it's it's it's it's tony robbins meets
uh barack obama's master class meets
Um tom cruise and magnolia's awesome speeches
Meets avid castello meets frankenstein
I have to ask are they
Are those earlier things meeting the movie avid and castello meets frankenstein or they're meeting both avid and castello and frankenstein
It's them meeting avid and castello while they're meeting frankenstein
And so it's it's the vibe of the show is like, oh, we've interrupted avid and castello meeting frankenstein
What's the social graces here, you know
What I know at it a little bit so I hug him I barely met frankenstein. Is that a fist pound?
And it's just preparing people through all the things I know through theater breath work
Feldenkrais, alexander technique
Meisner, uh, uh, stanislavski, uh, stan and ollie
So what uh, can I would love to see a demonstration of these? I'm so glad you asked god. I really
Needed you to ask. Oh, okay. Well, let's do it. Let's do uh, um, let's do it. Let's do an exercise
Two of you I need two of you to sit across from each other and this is okay. Why don't uh sugar about it and slowly
Why don't you guys sit across from each other and this is it?
You know, it's so hard to connect with people anymore. Don't you think?
It's so hard to connect with people anymore. Look someone in the eyes and really get to know them anymore. Don't you think?
When you're talking to somebody it's hard to connect with them anymore
I just look them in the eyes and get to know them. Don't you think so? I do believe so. Yes
And so this exercise is all about connections it's about eye contact it's about comfort and it's about
Finding yourself comfortable with somebody else that you barely know
You understand?
Yes, okay
So this is I'm going to give you a line from one of my plays and you're just going to repeat it back and forth to each other
One of your plays? Yes. I'm a playwright scott
Okay, what's this one called this one is called child thief
About a person who takes children because it could have been a child who thieves
A childhood thieves as a verb. Yes. No, that's my play baby back robbers
I want my baby back robbers
Why don't you lay down a baseline for us? Excuse me? Why don't you lay down a baseline for us? Okay
This is perfect for this exercise because this is a line from the play
So you're confronting the child thief
So you're saying I want my baby back
And you're just repeating what you hear back and forth until the words give you new meaning and it's about the connection
Not the words does that make sense? Yes
Okay
MCSP are you ready? Yes
CSS are you oh, yeah
All right on my cue
And action
I want my baby back
I want my baby back. I want my baby back. I want my baby back. I want my baby back
I want my baby back. I want my baby back. I want my baby back. I want my baby bag
Now this is great so far. I don't want to interrupt you. It's great, but you're not doing it right and well
So
And it's awesome. It's lovely. I do this every day, so I'm obviously going to be perfect at it
You know when I teach improv classes, I'll stop a scene and then I'll do it to show them how to do real improv
So you're saying the words the same emotion behind them all the time
I want you to open up a little bit. This is why you didn't put that role is you're giving me no emotion
no heart, you know and
I can say that because I'm the guy that the Liberty Bibery thing is based off of
That happened to me in a Liberty Mutual audition. I said the name of the company wrong 400 times
And they used it and they used it and they mocked me with a guy equally as good-looking as me
So same thing a little more emotion fellas, okay, just feel the words I want my baby back. I
Want my baby back. I
Want my baby back be be back baby back. I want my baby back baby back baby back
I want my baby back baby back baby back. I want my baby back
I want
That was powerful
You
He gets it he gets let's take a look at that menu
Let's see we can exit full screen we could go back can't go forward. All right. Oh, wow
I
Could have been real dicey there
See in those open tabs
I'm glad they closed all my tabs. I was using it beforehand who is Scott Ackerman. What is comedy bang bang?
And you spelled it with an H
Which word nobody saw that I saw
So
That what you just saw you just saw two men who have never met each other having a connection a connection
It's made what and a connection is my
You're a crumb believable
We're on a great wavelength here. Is this what you do with your this is it in my class
I welcome everybody if someone says something reminds you a song say it out loud if that if you know the lyrics repeat after those lyrics
Get into the song together and all of a sudden you know each other a little more and that's what's killing us in this country
We're dying out here Scott Ackerman. I
Don't know what your point is
What we were everyone's dying of COVID is that what you're saying? No, no, you know, we're dying out here
I can't go to a movie and talk through the whole movie anymore. You know
People can't understand what you're saying if you wear a mask. That's yes, and I'm so funny
I mean so funny during a movie, you know, and nobody hears it because I'm forced to wear a mask and I'm a Stubbs member
I'm in someone else's entourage that there was paid for so
You know, yeah, I just served to be treated properly when I go to the movies. I'm a-list I
Wrote the Nicole Kidman thing you
Do people have AMC theaters out here, do they know what we're talking about
It's all Alamo draft house this out here
They
They should play it at the Alamo draft house. So it's it's iconic. It's iconic. It isn't you. I didn't know you wrote that
That's incredible. I wrote the original version for myself. What I'm sorry. This person is yelling something. It must be urgent because they just kept yelling it
What did you say?
Okay
I
What was the original version of this the AMC or the yeah, that's what we're talking about
What was me
You portraying the role. Yes of Nicole Kidman or yes. Hi. I'm Nicole Kidman
And I love movies dude
And you love movies dude
And here's the thing
People are so mad
When they can't go see a movie in theaters Tom Cruise my husband sometimes before
He dresses up funny dish so he can see a movie in the theaters
Is he dressing up funny?
He's just disguising himself
Disguising himself that is a funny image whatever he's wearing, right?
He's using the MI technology. Yes. Yes. What what technology am I mission impossible? Oh, he is
Oh with the rubber mask. Yes, the whole thing he gets into a movie by climbing the building like he did in Dubai
On the ropes. Yes, Gary all his own stunts. Did you know that?
I
Do up my own stunts too. What's a clean shit and piss out of graves
You got a call for second team when that's happening that's got to be somebody else you shouldn't be doing that type of thing
I would like to join the team. I
Mean is it good it doesn't go on IMDB
It could I guess
I'm DB is where all of the actors resumes are oh
Oh
We were talking backstage and sugar butt was like I was watching so many movies at my hotel
I wish there was a way I could know who I said it
Let me tell you something that's not going too well, I can't figure out these actors in my hotel
I
Beautiful
And so I said, you know, you could just go to IMDB and look it up
And I told you that right before and now we mentioned again, and it's like you weren't listening to me at all because I wasn't I was not
Austin is really hot
But that's what you know now sugar butts gonna remember because he's done the exercise
I mean what issues have you had post-covid out? You're out at a party at a dinner party at a party palace a party city
Well, there are some
Societal norm just the other day
I met someone and they they reached their handout to me
It was someone I'd never met before and would never see again in my lifetime and we both knew that
And he reached out his hand and I looked at it and I said well, I'm not going to do that
And you did you not feel I know that you a man of the world was adequately prepared to handle that moment
But some people they're not used to all of those social interactions and that's what my class teaches
We put you through acting technique through all of those situations
I call them improvisations or skits and we do situations that you might be scared of okay, so like what should we do one right now?
Okay, I need two people up two people up here. Why is it only two people?
Let's do three. Yeah
Okay, okay, so and we're wandering around aimlessly I take it okay, so
This is nice and just feel the space a little bit feel the space feel yourself now if you're yourself here be yourself
Okay
We lost Sully we lost Sully
We lost Sully he felt the space too much. We lost Scott. Okay, we're feeling the space a little too much
Okay, yeah feel the space here. Oh
Feel the space
Nice
And now if you're in character, what body part does your character lead with let me see what you're lead with you
Know is it from your your head or you a thinker and you walk with your head first?
Is it from your heart? You know are you are you emotional? Is it your gut you act on your gut? Is it your sex?
What do you lead with it? Yeah? I'm just doing my feet
Yeah, everybody's pitching feet in different ways
This is really special. This is really something
Yeah, okay
I feel like I'm in the Lion King on Broadway
Now at some point it when you make eye contact someone
Greet that person and we'll be in a situation
So this situation is one person wants to handshake and just react however you would react in that moment
We'll talk about what happens because I don't want to direct you too hard
Eat your vegetables drink your milk
No
No words being shared between sully and emcee sugar, but a polite handshake and on with their
And of course emcee sugar, but inline skating while sully does a bit of a march
And Scott Ackerman in the Ministry of Funny Walks, oh, we're getting a he he out of Scott
Now Scott is shaming on as he walks across the stage
And Scott
Scott and sully are face-to-face with each other both but Scott might be Michael Jackson
He might be a Michael Jackson impersonation. He might be Scott Ackerman who just saw Michael Jackson music video and is excited
Let's see what happens
Would you like to shake my hand?
I wish I could but I'm a filthy goose
Sam on
And scene Wow
What what did that do for us?
Now that you have experienced
Something so far out as Michael Jackson meeting a dirty goose and
Being rejected by it. What is there to be scared of what is there to be scared of?
