Coming up a little later, we have a... I believe they're a toy maker, but it could be wrong about that. They could maybe just work at a toy shop, but whatever. Either they make the toys or they sell the toys, whatever end of the transaction they're on, we will certainly be talking to them. We also have a rock and roll legend on the show.

That is very, very exciting. And so packed show. My name is Scott Ackerman, by the way, and welcome indeed to Comedy Bang Bang. We have our first guest here. It is very exciting for me because we have another entry into the exclusive One Timers Club, someone who has been on the show one time. Ben Stiller, Donald Glover. This is the kind of company you're keeping.

Yeah, this is exciting, right? Sorry, I parked in. I didn't know if I was allowed yet because once I get going, I can't stop. Please. I love that. Yeah, I mean, this is an exclusive, exclusive club. They've never returned to do the show again, but-

No, I haven't yet proven myself to not return. That's true. I mean, this is an exclusive, exclusive club. They've never returned to do the show again. No, I haven't yet proven myself to not return. You know what I'm saying? So hopefully, like, we don't anticipate that I'll never be back. No, no, but I'm saying currently, if you ever are back, it means your career is worse than theirs because you have joined the two-timers club. But, uh, because they got so big, they would never return. Yes.

I got it. Okay. Yeah. So you hope to be in the one-timers club. Right. That's interesting. And I hope that you're in the several-tim never return. Yes, I got it. Okay, yeah. So you hope to be in the One Timers Club. Right, that's interesting. And I hope that you're in the Several Timers Club. No, thank you. I'd prefer to be in the Several Timers Club, I think.

Well, maybe not to success exactly, but I feel both can be achieved. Wonderful. Well, currently you're only in the One Timers Club. She has an incredible new Netflix special coming up this week tomorrow. In fact, if you're listening to this the day it comes out, it's called Get On Your Knees. Please welcome Jacqueline Novak. Hello.

Thank you. Oh my god, that was so pro. You know what I just realized? This is one of the first things I learned in comedy is when you're introducing someone, the last thing you say is the name, right? The name. Yes, exactly. Sorry, I just I noticed it it and I remembered instantly this, like early open mic I did in New York, where the guy asked me, like,

can you MC in a pinch or whatever? And I went off and I was, and it all seems very obvious, like, it seems obvious because you hear it all the time, but it wasn't, like, so I got up and I was sort of like, okay, you know, so next we got Zubi Zubi. And- And let me tell you a little bit about Zubi Zubi

and the long, long story. And I just go, this is a person, they're phenomenal. And then I go, you're like, here they come. You know, like, it was like, and after the guy was like saying the last- Zubi Zubi himself was- And by the way, Zubi Zubi. I'm really bad at generating like a fake real Yeah, exactly. Which I mean that's a

way you know when you're when you're making a script in final draft they have a name generator like tool there. Yes, which I'm terrible at. Do you do you let the tool help you? Sometimes my old dear friend who's no longer with us, Stuart Cornfield, producer, he once told me that the way to, anytime you're in need of a fake name, go to an old Abbot and Costello movie because they have the best fake names for their characters. That's amazing.

Yeah. I've never done it because... Yeah, yeah. It's like go to an old Abbot and Costello movie. It's like something that in theory, I don't know. Like I picture like I have this shelf with all the, like my box collections, you know, like almost like that's part of being like in theory. I don't know. I picture I have this shelf with all my box collections. You know, almost like that's part of being in comedy. You just have box collections,

Mavit and Costello ready to queue up at any time versus going to YouTube and finding one clip. So where is Zubi Zubi now? Zubi Zubi, what are they working on? I couldn't come up with a fake look. I guess you don't come up with fake locations. No, but I, and this will be the only thing I say about the Joe Coy hosting the Golden Gloves. But I noticed he did that during the Golden Gloves

where he said a person's name and then he continued on for two sentences. And I was like, you gotta say the name last. Oh, really? Yes. Really? Yes. Wild. Stop pointing, are you?. Oh, really? Yes. Really? Yes. Wild.

Stop pointing at me. When interest, I'm sorry. By the way, my Apple watch is like, I'm humiliated, I'm sorry, okay? It's just this belongs nowhere in art and I really. What do you call that band that looks like a sporty band? It is, it's like, you know, woven. Oh my God, my phone is buzzing, which it's not supposed to do.

I live a do not disturb life. Okay,'m humiliated you gotta give me some tips because You know the the dings for do not disturb have been the the fifth character on comedy bang wait for real Yes, so despite your your dnd despite putting it on dnd. I've been getting the dings Yeah, I believe Brett Morris has has shown me the trick There will be no dings on this episode that I can swear. Remove my dings. Necessary. That's interesting. Yeah, isn't it interesting? Jacqueline, it's so great to have you on the show. You are a comedian

of renown. Thank you. You... Great to hear. Tell me about the show because it took an interesting path to Netflix. Yes. Most Netflix specials, you take a comedian, you say, hey, do you have an hour? And they kind of go, sure. And then they barely have the hour.

That sounds lovely, though. I know, maybe they have 20 minutes and the rest is filler. But your show is the real deal. It's 90 minutes. It started of all places off Broadway. Oh my God, I know. The Great White Way. Yeah.

Tell us about this. The Great Half White Way. I guess they call it. The Great Tope Way. Yeah. Yeah, it took that root because I really wanted to have a comedy special. I've been doing Stand Up Forever and I wanted to go for it and have kind of like an ambitious hour plus because obviously I couldn't contain myself in an hour.

But it's sort of like the big show, the big special, right? The big like, big swing. The big announcement. Hey, here I am. Yeah. World. Yeah, despite like, having been there for 15 years, you know, ish, right? But just like the big, put it all together and really go for it.

And I wanted it to be a special on a big platform like Netflix. But I didn't really feel like they were interested in that, like, you know, from me, I kind of felt like I've been around for a while and they're kind of like, yeah, we know we know who you are. But yeah, yeah. You know, right. It felt like it's weird how they decide who to give specials to. Yeah, just you know what I mean? Like it's very odd. Yeah. I mean, it's like and it's sort of this. You know, like just this feeling of trying to get a sense of like where you stand in the minds of this abstract idea of the industry

and like, you know, all that kind of stuff. So I sort of switched it in my mind and was like, I have to go really hard on on something and in order to shake like oh my god hold on I hear I hear voices I hear voices outside okay do we have a special guest arriving in studio here my god oh my gosh it's the director of the special herself Natasha Leon is here Nobody knows it Could be anyone I mean kept in no personality You got here just the right job

Jacqueline no back. I gotta admit Jacqueline was struggling She was trying to put a. No, I was. I was sort of... She was trying to put a sentence together and I was rooting for her, but... I'll tell you what happened. I see a lot of space. It's just a microphone, is that what you're talking about? She could probably diagnose it before. She could diagnose without having been here for it, probably.

What would happen? No, me struggling to put a sentence together with her. Oh, really you? Well, here we go. I'm really defying that as your problem. Okay, thank you. Maybe the inverse. Natasha is struggling with together with. Oh, really? You? I really define that as your problem. I take maybe the inverse. Natasha is struggling with these headphones. Like, I think that's a fucking struggling.

Like, Jacqueline has been struggling with the sentence. You're fucking struggling, all right? I'm struggling. So there's fucking three people in this room not struggling as the three of us, all right? I'm not taking this shit from nobody today. All right, talk to everybody. I'm a nice person. Yes, Hi. Hi pretty. Hi. I've

come from the American Film Institute. Oh, we're just my friends. Steven Spielberg. So we're in a draw. And Meryl Streep. We're there and it did run long. What exactly were you doing over there at the AFI? I find new. I would have a whole other career. But my business is not knowing professionally. This is how you get interviewed on podcast. I don't know how to. You ask me the question and I start deeply contemplating.

And then you put, first thought only. First, hello, Scott. How are you? I'm not going to talk like this is my real voice. I've just decided. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 44 and I think it's time to start lying about my age. Wait, are you just 41 now?

Thank you. That'll do. Yes, I've just turned 41. I know somebody who decided they just turned 41 themselves. Really? Really? Is that you? No. Thank you. That'll do. Yes, I've just turned 41. I know somebody who decided they just turned 41 themselves. Really? Is that you? No. Well, congratulations, everyone here,

except for you, Novak, who's 29 next week. Yeah, thank you for that. And with a big special coming out at the big 2-9. Jacqueline, would it surprise you to learn that Natasha here is joining the exclusive Two Timers Club? Oh! That's right. Have I been here before?

Yeah, you've been on the show one time before. With our good friend Jake Fogelman. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. First of all... Dislocation? Not dislocation. I am inclined to believe you over myself. Yes.

That said... That said... I remember us distinctly taking what became your family Christmas photo. Yes, you were on the television show. That was a television show. That was a television show. Yes. Okay. And what you're telling me is there was something in between then and now. Preceding that, I believe.

Yes, that would be between. So I dish is in a contest because no back would win. Just to say, if we're doing IQs. But anyway, you're saying I was on your lap. You were on the podcast quite a few years back. I'm so happy we spent that time together. Before you got here, Natasha, we were talking about the genesis of the show.

We were talking about how it was off-Broadway. It became a sensation off-Broadway. Produced, we didn't talk about this. I'm just gonna encapsulate it here. It became a sensation off Broadway produced. We didn't talk about this. I'm just going to encapsulate it here, but produced by yourself, Natasha and Mike Barbiglia. And now it's directed by the great John early. That's right.

John, yeah, he directed it. And but yeah, John directed the stage show forever with you. Yes. And I directed the special. Yeah. I was out January 23rd.rd. Considentially on Netflix. But really, I would say that Novak is the auteur of the operation through and through. I mean, tips to Tails. And she's got both.

You have Tails, really? Oh, yeah. A Tuxedo jacket. A Tuxedo jacket and the Spats. Rightuxedo jacket. Both toes. Tuxedo jacket and the right to the floor. Let me talk to you about the substance of the special because it's about an interesting topic to myself at least, which is why don't you tell us exactly what it's about. You mean say the word blowjob? Yeah, sure. Yeah, well, I did it. Sometimes people are like, it's about blowjobs. I prefer saying like it's about the blowjob because it makes it a little bit more like,

we're talking about ideas here, people, you know, like versus like blowjobs. Like, I don't know. So it's, I think it's, here's what I like. I've heard this said by others. Ostensibly, it's about the blowjob. But the true subject of get on your knees is, and then there's various things. Like sometimes people are like the finitude of language.

No, really, yes. You know, and I'm like, yeah. That's like, someone says it's about the disappointing finitude of language. I get very excited. So I like to sort of have the blinking sign say blow job, you know, man eating chicken, right? And then get them in the room.

Right. It's the lure to get you into watching the show. I'm a little uncomfortable with the carnival barker. Basically, I like to pitch it to these people over here as a sort of literary whatever, get them in and and get him Laughing and then I like to pitch it to this or a comedy world like Get in you know come laugh and then oops. I like well actually I don't say oops. It's disgusting. I hate that word Really, it's one of these fair words You mean the inverse of that I think right like bring them in with the blowjob and then hit them with the or

that I think, right? Like bring them in with the blowjob and then hit them with the big stuff. Oh yeah, or to some, bring them in with the big stuff. Like tell the theater crowd, it's a dissection of language, put sex and power or whatever. And then come in. Ha ha ha, you know.

So I'm very like whoever I'm selling to today. I think with this show, it's hard to say. I suspect this audience is perfect. I think this audience is probably right in the sweet spot. I think my audience, they're all working class people, they love their families. Wow, you're running. Versus the funny idea. They go to church on Sundays. Just like me.

I accept Godly, there is a Godly spirit, there is a spiritual element to the show. I really do believe the Catholics can get behind it. I mean, truly, it's very... I read one review that said it was a... A show for Catholics. Who love blowjobs. The word ostensibly, I believe was used.

It was ostensibly about blowjobs, but it also delves into your history and childhood. And, you know... Coming of age, tale of triumph, perhaps is what you read. I wrote that. I like hearing it like read back to me because I'm in there, I'm in those press releases. But it is, it's 90 minutes. Yeah, and it doesn't focus exclusively

Right on the topic because you're you diverge into little red violin I can't actually remember that like very clearly what wasn't there a red violin finding its way through a film Yeah, it's sort of uh, I haven't seen that one. But yeah, I think I yeah, it's or or Yeah, to me it's sort of a... I haven't seen that one, but yeah, I think I... Yeah. It's a... Or, yeah, to me, it's sort of an organizing theme, like, or, like, the blowjob and three acts or whatever. Like, it's kind of like, I heard about it when I was in seventh grade or so, and here's what my initial thoughts were about it.

You know, I found myself arriving at the time in which it seemed I was supposed to do it, sometime in high school, and then my evolving thoughts about it later around college and whatever. It's a narrative of just my thinking. It's not that much actually happens. I will say when I first saw the show, I don't think I first saw the show, I don't think I even clocked it was about blowjobs. And it's not that I didn't hear the word. I just I couldn't.

And this is no reflection on me. I definitely don't remember my first blowjob. And or my last. And the ones in between, though. My God. Were they doozies? And, but weirdly, I think that I'm so not moved by sex as a concept.

Totally. Even my. Wait, sorry, go on. No you. No, no, no, but this is actually key. I am humiliated and confused when people are like, like one time a reporter like so, so penises, when did you realize they were funny? I was like, I have literally no interest in talking about penises.

I guess that's what I mean. That's always like tricky for me or what I'm protective about in apologies is, I guess it's such a odd thing, right? Because it is called get on your knees. It is ostensibly about a blowjob in three acts, I guess. But to me, that's not what the show, that's not what I got from it,

just as a viewer the first time at all, what I got from it is like, who is this motherfucker? And how can she weave a sentence like this and what is that fucking brain about? Right, well that is something I wanted to talk about because it seems like you have a very unique style in your standup. It seems like so many, not even just standups, but people in the world, we all use the same slang. Everyone's like proud of using all the same words.

And, you know, like Zaddy. Right. Riz, Riz is in. Riz. Rhymes with Jizz. Thanks. I'll be here for another eight minutes. But you know, like everyone just takes pride in saying everything the same exact way. Yes. And then your special is just such a wonderful example

of someone coming out and having a unique brain where you're constructing sentences in such a way that is just very, very impressive to to me and I'm trying to do it right now and I'm sounding like a dumb shit so well as you know I struggle to speak extemporaneously in a lot of ways because I am trying to like feel out what I'm thinking as I'm saying it. I don't know how anyone thinks something constructs how to say it and then says that thing to me. That's like deeply confusing. Oh, I don't think. Asia.

But I think you mentioned you were a poetry major, is that right? I was in poetry classes. I mean, in this special, I say, you know, I used to write poetry in college and whatever. I wrote other things and, you know, but that was, that was part of it. No one writes just poetry. You have to do it to do list every once in a while. What are you majoring? English, writing, writing concentration, just like, but it was, you know, it's fiction and drama.

Why are you so philosophical? Without the, without the philosophy major? Did you do a philosophy major? Yeah. No, but my dad's pretty heavy on philosophy. I see. Yeah. No, but my dad's pretty heavy on philosophy. Yeah. And so, well, he has a podcast called The Cunning of Geist about Hegel. Okay. That I helped him start. Same audience. But it's self self. They're just working class people. And we just work. They love their families. But he's a,

he's, you know, proudly like self taught. He's like, he's like, you know, in the podcast realm or in the philosophy? Both. But in the philosophy realm. So I think he, there are a lot of books lying around growing up and I would sort of read them. And I don't know. So they're there for this? Yeah, yeah, find my way through them. And so I think, and

ask him about whatever he was reading. And so I think that's sort of where that part comes from. But the thing about, yeah, the thing about- The constructing of the language and the way that you write the jokes is just very impressive. And it's very unique. And a lot of the thoughts in there are thoughts that you would,

I always love it when I'm watching someone with a very unique brain where I go, oh, I would never hear that thought. Maybe the genesis of the thought other people could think of, but I would never hear it just said in that way. It's always very it's wonderful to hear. No, that that's phenomenal. That makes me very happy.

You seem happy. No, I just try to draw. I'm just trying to. That's me. I'm never not thinking. I'm never so happy. No, I just read a draw. I'm just writing. That's me in my happiest. I'm never not thinking. I'm never so happy. But I would say that is the part that I identified with right away as a toll booth philosopher. That's a term.

Are you working the toll booths or your passing through it? As a hobo philosopher, you know, riding the rails, I think immediately that's what I clicked into. Novak, without really sort of even hearing the blowjobs, which were coming fast and furious. I was really like, what is the, what is of what this brain is up to in there and like what kind of soul constructs this kind of thing and how can that person be so fucking funny? Like it was just making me laugh so hard that somebody was that sort of heady

and like just fucking that the brain was just going like, boom, boom, boom, boom. I don't think I'd seen personally somebody you know uh that sharp in in some time. Well it is not only is it 90 minutes which is more than an hour but it's also jam packed with language so it's so what I was trying to say before is like you'll get comedians who barely have 20 minutes doing an hour because they just stretch everything out and you're like just going going going, going, going, going. Yeah. Yeah. That's part of why I go really fast. And it's like to stay, it's to stay, it's like a bicycle, you know, if like you slow down to like nothing, it falls over. You just,

you got to keep pedaling to not, you know, it's like- That's not been my experience with bicycles. I guess you can coast, right? There's truth about coasting, but- We've all just been so used to people just putting out these specials and being like, okay, you're funny. Who cares? Yeah. You know? I agree with that sentiment.

Like a radical act, a big swing. It's like, for me, it's almost, I think I experienced everything that we do is like music on some level. And it's almost like when seeing Novak for the first time, I was like, whoa, I really am hearing it. Then maybe that's what you mean by the spiritual, like the music of the spheres of like, my brain is just going on a lot of levels

and also doing what I believe is the most spiritual act, which is like doubled over laughing, which to me seems like the only place where you truly lose yourself in this life. Like it's the only genuinely unselfconscious thing we've got where and it can happen with like a fucking you know the taxi driver it happens at the deli it happens with your pals whatever but when you're suddenly just like fucking doubled over laughing and then your brain stops working for a second even though you're talking about like you know it's like I gotta fucking

break up I'm being oh whatever I said the stakes have have never been, huh, I'm dying. I'm telling you, it's a necessary suicide. And suddenly you're doubled over and it's like, you've touched a third space, like some other layer ether opens up and I just, anyway I experience it kind of is music and I love that there is that thing of not the same same old thing and not that the old thing is a bad thing or a good thing it's a sort of agnostic thing but to really see it and sort of like have yourself sprung wide awake is very exciting and rare I think. Well, get on your knees. Out tonight, if you're listening to this the day it comes out. Out now, if you're not.

Yes. We need to take a break if that's okay. When we come back. Oh, well pee right here. Oh, these will allow it. We'll like it. When we come back, we're gonna have a toy maker or seller, I don't know, and a rock and roll legend.

This is an exciting show. We'll be right back with more comedy.

Oh, hello. Nice to meet you. Well, yeah. Yeah. Are you a toy maker or are you a toy seller? Well, I don't physically make them, but my wife, Melissa, I founded Melissa and Doug's Toys. I know it so well. I remember when it came out. It was like, I mean, sorry.

No, yeah. Getting right in there. But it was like the wooden, it was like, these are quality wooden... Quality educational toys, puzzles, play sets, all sorts of things like that. I guess I don't know it all that well. Where exactly? Is this a shop or is this a company? You buy them in stores Like almost anything else. It's not its own store. Not like almost anything. I mean, there's plenty of things you can't buy in stores Like what? Thank you Natasha people Wow, I don't know. Wow you went there and your tape might disagree. Yeah

Wow, uh-huh deep cut dark. I went to the dark web, kids. Not my bag! To clarify. Don't. No pull quotes, please. So yeah, I guess you could say I'm the andretative toys. Oh no, honey. Don't do it. Don't. It's bad. It's toys. I don't know if you know who he is. Well, I'm just going along with it. I know you're trying to go along. It's all right, they don't want to be the entertaining event.

Okay, Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so you have toys made, you design the toys, what do you do in the process? I'm trying to figure this out. Yeah, we started the business because we had children and we wanted to have more educational toys that stood the test of time.

They weren't just cheap plastic things that broke. Delicatious in the home. Exactly, they make noises and they flashed and we just the test of time. They weren't just cheap plastic things that broke. The Likidius in the home. Exactly, they make noises and they flash. And we just got sick of that. And like, you know, Melissa was so good at designing those things and just coming up with these ideas. What are some of the toys that you, because I have a-

Are you familiar with puzzles? I am. Thank you, Natasha. Sorry to yell. I found one of my juns. This is my voice. I'm 27 so I love puzzles like the crossword puzzle spelling the wordal connections a little more like do a banana in a banana shape yes exactly like a six-parter farm

animals and you'll be like which one where does the cow go no that's the shape of a horse. They're very difficult for for for two to three year olds and I'm good for four year olds I see And you know what it just really took off in a way that was amazing and then we sold Melissa and Doug's I don't know if you know that you know Doug can design guys wait up to no, we're still together I love her so much light of my life, But as a business entity, she wanted to do other things. And I was like, I'm still doing toys.

So I make my own business. What is Melissa up to, if you don't mind? She has a wellness company now that she runs. Are you serious? Yes. I don't need that. You're not interested in the wellness space? No, I'm just so well already.

But I guess it would be about how to maintain that wellness. Yeah, yeah. It's with toys. Yeah. What can Doug do that isn't what you sold? You know what I mean? Great question, yeah. And what I'm learning is it's very hard to do

without Melissa. Melissa, she was the brains of the operation. You know what? Business and creative. I think she was pulling the cart Cuz I'm I'm yeah, what did Doug do in the previous business? Huh Yeah, well, you know I was there

Here's Melissa and Doug. It was named after you listen Doug. Yeah, uh-huh So you had that but you didn't well I had an office. Oh, okay. That's fun. Yeah. It's fun to have an office. It was good to have an office. I could go there and I could sit around. It's not always easy to explain to others on the outside. Maybe you were a sounding board

on which the ideas would... Well, I think we kind of like bounced off each other a lot and it was just so like nice to do that. Now I'm realizing kind of on my own and having this own thing. It's too hard. I don't like it. What are some of the toys you've come up with?

Well, yeah, it just turns out, I don't really know what kids like. The first thing we did was a place that where a kid could pretend to be the editor-in-chief of Interview Magazine. See, I like that. But that's almost like I would want that now. Yeah, kids didn't care for it.

And it would be too small for you now because there's a small child's minimalist glass desk. Yeah, with didn't care for it. You know, and it would be too small for you now because there's a small child's minimalist glass desk Yeah, standing desk standing desk With a phone and you just have a bunch of proofs of potential covers with the strokes on it and in my mind They did come with a little Andy Warhol wig. Yeah, you got a little Andy Warhol wig You could I thought oh kids will love it'll sit there And they'll be like yelling out be like Kushner canceled and Carl Lagerfeld's dead. Get me someone else.

We got to fill 10 pages. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, it just didn't work. And it was, I think the nine which question Tony. Anyway, we also had an at home pet euthanasia kit that was. Oh, I know that I like. You know what? That's good. It's geared right towards you and I thought I'd get a reaction. And that's, you know, that's still nothing.

It's a kid in order to actually perform the act. Just pretend. Just pretend. Just to pretend to prepare them. I'm sorry. Human euthanasia. You're right. Pet euthanasia. Oh, I don't like it. I'm sorry. So you liked it when it was human.

Yeah, but not kids. Right. Grownups. I feel like I feel like the whole. No, not parents. Grownups. I just thought I feel like, I feel like the whole. No, not parents, grownups. I just thought, come on, you know, because it's just, it's just hard to run a business. Right.

You know, everyone here knows that. Everyone knows it's hard to just. We all have businesses. We all have businesses. We all have businesses. We're a grown-up company. I think of us all as little mom and pop shops, personally. I think of that too.

And again, when I sold, we sold Melissa and Doug, we sold it for $950 million, but I still consider us a bit of a underpossessed. Right, congratulations. Why do you need to do anything else? Just to fill the days. What did you do with the money investment wise? I'm taking notes.

Yeah, well, investment wise, I mainly put it into Doug can do it two toys. I might have missed that. Is that the name of the company? That's the name of the company, Doug can do it two toys. And... Wait, I might have missed that. Is that the name of the company? That's the name of the company, Doug can do it two. I was gonna ask her to ask. No, oh, you can ask me anything. Doug can do it two. Doug can do it two.

Because people were saying, like, Melissa's so great, Melissa's so great, and you know, again, I love her so much, and I tried to keep it in check, but the jealousy did start to bubble up, and I was like, this is gonna be toxic in our relationship. So I need to prove myself. And then what I've proven to myself is I can't do it. I just can't do it. Form of proof that it takes a certain ego strength to be able to even recognize myself.

So I applaud you for that. Oh, thank you. Yeah, it does feel bad. Really? It feels bad. Like all the time? All the time. Every waking moment feels bad and my dreams are bad.

So you sunk $475 million into this company? A little bit more because we have a joint account and Melissa is very supportive. Oh no. Yeah. But her company's doing well? Her company's doing great gangbusters. People love Melissa. People really love Melissa. Did that surprise you? Like, did you, when you guys first got together, did you kind of think it was?

If you met her, you know what, you would be like, you couldn't be more... you couldn't be less surprised that people loved her. What I was surprised by was that it's not that people don't like me. It's fully ambivalent. It feels like your formula is adult things done for kids. And I think kids just want to be kids. Yeah, I know. But we've kind of covered that. Right? I know Melissa and Doug did all that. Would you be in like a in like? Contract violation if you were because you have a non-compete clause Clause for the nine million try to pay your own angle. There's any overlap. Oh, what if you pivot to them for their four adults? Yeah, cuz I think it would be fun like I play set yeah for adults Like I'm interested in that. I don't think I'd want it scaled up. I mean, I think I'd want about 75% of my size.

Yeah, so you feel like, I don't know. Okay, this is great. There's something to it that keeps it like a toy. What'd you say the price point was on these things? Well, yeah, the EIC thing, the interview magazine was $900. Dollars?

$900, yes. That's too much. It is too much. Yeah, Jacqueline, would you pay $900 for this? I mean, Oh, big money. I mean, I wouldn't if it was for a kid. No, if it was for 75% of an adult.

For an adult. You would buy an adult a thousand dollar gift after taxes. No, I wouldn't buy it for them. I'm talking about for me, maybe. How icy I'm sorry. I could see getting into kind of like, I don't know. I don't know.

That's a lot still. Plastic based? Or are you, is it wood? Is it all wood? Still working in wood. That was not in the non-comp lot. So plastic based or are you wood? Is there all wood still working in wood? That was not in the working class. No, you can use wood and it's all it's all mahogany. Okay, that's okay. Mahogany. It's nice.

Now, what blonde wood of listen, Doug days? Yes, absolutely. We got what listen, listen. I'm so glad you're here. Listen, Doug. I know nothing about this stuff. I literally thought you said inside Lou and Davis and I thought never seen him.

Can I ask a question? Do you make them by hand? Me personally? Yeah. No, I don't. My hands are far too shaky. They're not very good for this. Why do you have shaky hands?

I'm just nervous all the time. Oh yeah. Just shaking all the time. Yeah, you seem like a nervous guy. Honestly, I hear you talking. I'm sort of like, what does Melissa see in you? Well, you know what? I asked her that every night before we fall asleep.

Every night? And she says, she says, I see you. And that lets me calm down for five minutes. Isn't it beautiful? And then the dreams, the bad dreams come back. Whoa, almost. Yeah. Yeah.

There's always a spill at the party. He almost dropped his water, but you can't, you know, there's always a spill at the party. He almost dropped his water, but you can't, you know, there's always a spill at the party is what I always heard. So yeah. And may as well be the guy that spills it. Now, do you have clammy hands, honey? Yes, very clammy. Yes.

Yeah, why is that? Do you think? You know what? I don't know. I think it's genetic. I remember my dad's hands being very clammy. Did he drop you as a child? No, but my mom did. Oh, yeah.

My dad has a very sturdy hand, but my mom did not. What are you clammy? Sturdy. Well, I think he overcomes they because they were so sturdy because he's like, it's going to slip right out. So he holds on. One time, my mom did drop me down three stone steps, three stone steps, three stone steps. The story I've heard my whole life.

That's interesting when they like to clarify that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why I keep telling you it was stone. I think to know that I could be dead. I think they wanted it's not like it's not like a carpeted nice 80s. Yeah. So I think now these are three stone steps. Right. Are you dead, honey? Excuse me? Are you dead? Yeah, you're not a ghost right now, right? You're not haunting us.

Well, I don't know. It's possible that all of you don't aren't aware that you're in six sense situations or that all of us are ghosts. And this is our purgatory. I mean, when I hear Melissa every night says, I see you. It kind of makes me think that you're non corporeal the rest of the day. Or I mean, she's like, oh, I like where this is going. Yes. I see you. I now invested. You've officially peaked my area of interest. Yeah. Now that you think about this, does clarify a lot of things.

It does seem like, you know, as she's never, it feels like she's looking through me when she says it. Can I ask, like, did she break off the Melissa and Doug partnership because you no longer exist? Right, did you die? And that's why it's... Well, I mean, I never had to sign anything. And the lawyers who would never talk directly to me were saying things like, well, we have to dissolve it now because.

Yeah, was there an urn involved at the time? Well, there's a pretty jar, but I don't know if it was an urn. Yeah, I mean, we're the words power of attorney ever brought up every day. Every day. I dug. I think you're dead. I think you did. You all think I'm dead? Well, I who am I to think I can't believe that this is how I find out like I'm a fan of all your work And so like I guess I had to find out like this is always nice to have dead fans Oh

And it's gonna you know, it's gonna it's it's it's coming for everyone. So yeah Yeah, and it's gonna turn around for you But I believe coming back. Well, you know, there's theories, I mean, right? They get these ice caps, shatter the fucking thing, and the parasites release the next thing, you know, the dead or un-dead and so on. We've seen it before. Hell freezes over, hell is full. Do you hope to finish your unfinished business, whatever it is, and then eventually go to

hell? Well, hold on. I feel like There's a big assumption there that I... Oh, I just assumed, I mean... I don't think you have to... Scott, come on your side. Did you accept Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Savior? I...ish. Yeah, you're going to hell.

Oh, I don't know about that. Did you accept Lucifer? Yes, but like, you know, I didn't want to lock myself into just one of them. You know what I mean? Can I ask ish to both? Yeah, I was like, why not? I'm kind of one of those guys when school was friends with everybody. I wasn't in to lock myself into just one of them. You know what I mean? Can I ask you to both? Yeah, I was like, why not? I'm kind of one of those guys when school was friends with everybody.

I wasn't in it. Right. No, you're going to help. It's always an impressive thing to say about. Yeah, yeah. Well, look, Doug, we have to take a break, but you as a ghost, you have nothing but time. Can you stick around?

Oh, yeah, I might be haunting your house. Electronic voice, electronic voice phenomena. That's what we got going on. Yes, exactly. That's right. We're catching it right here on our microphones. This is a big deal. We voice, electronic voice phenomena. That's what we got going on. Yes, exactly. That's right. We're catching it right here on our microphones. This is a big deal. We have to take a break.

When we come back, we're gonna have more from Doug. He'll still be haunting the podcast. We'll have more. Jacklan Novak will have more than Natasha Lyonne. Plus we have a rock and roll legend. We'll be right back for comedy bang bang after this. Never made that tone. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Comedy bang bang, a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I'm a ghost. And you've accepted it really. Well, you know. Because you might not be. I mean, I feel like a ghost can't be held to their debts.

And I have been in a lot of debt. I made some bad businesses, so if I'm a ghost now, what are they gonna do about it? Okay, that's a good point, although I guess they could sue Melissa. Oh my God, anything about that. Yeah, anyway. But we need to get to our next guest.

She's a rock and roll legend. Please welcome for the first time on the show, Jenny Power. Thanks so much for having me, Scott. It's great to be back. It's my pleasure. Great to be back on the show. First time, actually. No, no, I was on it one time before you were the host,

even. Oh, oh, the pre-Scott years? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was, it was Johnny. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we barely even remember those years. They were so long ago, but it's wonderful to have you back on Comedy Bang Bang.

Man, it's great to be back. Rock and roll. Rock and roll, man. You're a rock and roll legend. That's true. I'm not quite sure that I've heard. I, nah. I don't know.

You don't know Jenny Power, come on. Jenny Power. You know, I was, Skye. Well, we all remember, of course, I started. I was the lead singer of the Screamin' Chickens. Oh, Screamin' Chickens? Oh, man. I thought you said the lead Seamawster.

I was the lead Seamawster of the Screamin' Chickens. It was fuckin' groovy, man. We did a lot of shit. I don't remember, but yeah. But the stuff you do I would imagine is crazy. It blew your mind. But yeah, Banda broke up due to allegations. Really?

Alligations of impropriety? No, no, no, sorry. Alligations. Oh. He was our manager and just didn't work out. But he touched a lot of people so it was no good I see, okay. It was no good, but. Yeah, well, I'm glad you got out from under his thumb. Yeah, you know, it was good for a while.

You know, I did a few other bands, you know. Yeah. It was, you know, San Francisco, man. Oh, wow. San Francisco. Can't even imagine. It was San Francisco, man. Yeah.

Really? I went there a couple of times. Yeah, groovy. Yeah, I mean, I didn't hear any music when I was there, but. Oh, man. Yeah. Really? I went there a couple of times. Yeah, groovy. Yeah, I mean, I didn't hear any music when I was there, but. Yeah, me neither. It's kind of, it's just like. I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.

That's pretty groovy. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. You know, it's, boomer, you didn't catch any of my bands, you know, all the years, you know. Yeah, I don't know. I really have never heard of any of your bands, the Screamin'-

Screamin' Chickens. Screamin' Chickens, right, well. I I really have never heard of any of your bands. The Screamin' Screamin' Chickens. Screamin' Chickens. I feel like I've heard of that. I mean, I know nothing. I know nothing. I'm so in my own love. I've definitely heard of that. You might have heard my project after that. It was Jenny Power and the Big Time Boys. That sounds like, I feel like I know what that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was me and a bunch of groovy cats. It was Pepper, Felix, Oreo, Frisky, you know. Yeah.

They couldn't play any instruments. They kind of just roam around on stage. So cats, they were cool cats, though, right? They were little bit both. Hepcats, you know. Yeah, they would just kind of roam around. I'd be barefoot and we'd all kind of just like meow around. Right.

How long did they live? What happened? You got into some sort of hippie phase. What happened? You know, it just like, it got swept up, man. It was the fucking 60s, right? You know, the fuck it was. You look amazing.

Yeah, I hear you. I get to say. You do. Unbelievable. Yeah, you know, I brine myself every night. Oh, what is that? That's the thing. That's it.

And you got to drink it and you got to douse yourself and you got to sleep. Like a pickle. A pickle can last for years. You stick it in the brine so I sleep in it every night. Is it a liquid or is it a dry brine like with a turkey? Like how do you do it? No, liquid. Like what do they call those tanks you go in? Yeah, flotation, sensory deprivation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks. No problem. Yeah. Yeah. I'll come to you next time. Where? Good with words.

Yeah. But yeah, I just sort of float in the brine and that's great. I mean, yeah, you're obviously preserved. I mean, you look fantastic for a woman. I remember you and you were a cucumber, baby. Thank you. And we had some wild days. Oh, the shit we did. The shit we did. And didn't do. And didn't do. I would say the list of the shit we didn't do is shorter. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look,

I'm just some dumb asshole that doesn't know. Oh, my God, you're a good guy. I just have, I'm not familiar with your work. Maybe you could you know Scott's running for office. So you should probably tell them well if you want I can sing a little something cuz I was about to announce my big tour Oh, yeah, I love it. I was from a rock and roll legend as described, you know This is gonna be an amazing project for me and I've been out for a while and this is about gonna be my Jenny back in power and I've been out for a while and this is gonna be my Jenny back in power. Oh, wow. Okay. That's yeah. That's perfect. Yeah, we're doing a kickoff show at Silver Lake Lounge. So, uh, it's gonna be fucking major.

Yeah. Silver Lake Lounge. I just want to show everybody like I still got it, you know, like I can sing just like the old days. Yeah. People say my voice is gone, but I don't dare they. I mean, it's definitely raspy, but But maybe it was originally I again, I'm not familiar with your work. My first word was Dad dad like that. Oh like a like a raspy gangster saying dead Yeah, the voices and gone the voices. It's just yeah

Stayed consistent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you have a song Yeah, sing a a single song. And if you guys know it, you'll not feel free to sing along. I hope it's a song. It's a no song, but show it. No, no, it's an old song. Oh, OK. OK.

You sure? I don't know if I want to kind of pipe that. Yeah. Yeah, you guys know this one, huh? Yeah, I didn't know this was you. Well, I'm covering it. Oh, OK. Hell yeah.

But I did first. OK. Here we go. We just saw him and he got along. And then I was talking to him. And then we got along. So we was walking. Then we were walking. Yeah, and then we were walking.

And boy, to my surprise, he was the only boy that ever reached me. He was the son of they are, my boy, they were the every man. What does that ever mean to me? Yeah, he's in the long and the, oh, this ain't back up, come on, you know? What? What does that ever mean to me? Yeah, he was like, yeah.

So that's just a taste thing for my hand again. Yeah, I got a little shy, sorry, I wanted to join in but I got too shy. I would say it barely qualifies as a taste. You really, I mean, you really weren't singing all that much. I liked it. I mean, look, you have an audience and ghosts here. You didn't think I was singing.

Well, I mean, you were kind of mumbling. Is that safe to say? I mean, to me, a song is whatever comes out of a song for its mouth, you know what I mean? And that song for its... I guess so. Thank you. You know, I mean, maybe I'm not in the right headspace.

It's not like they're sort of American Idol, you know, that's over, right? Right? You can find that kind of voice, a dime a dozen. Everyone's, every town's got one. Someone say that a song is only as good as the singer itself. And, uh, oh, who would say that? Scott, I guess me? Okay. Well, they just say that? Scott, I guess me? Okay, well they just say that. Okay, you're right. Running for governor or president? I'll get to one of these, don't you worry.

I love that. I'm so glad by the way you're taking a glass of water. Sorry about my cough, I've had it since. I don't even remember, you know, back in the day, Jimi Hendrix bet me I couldn't choke on a marble jokes on him. I know $10 is still rattling around in there. Yeah.

As long as it's still rattlein' around. It's still rattlein' around in there. Do you know Jimi Hendrix? Me? Yeah. Never crossed paths? No, I don't think so, but maybe I don't know. How long have you been a ghost, by the way? That's a great question, and as soon as I'm home,

I'm gonna try to figure that out. When were you born? I was born in 1912. OK. So good. And I remember being in my 40s. Yeah. OK.

So I think you're old as for now. What a question. 60 years. Yeah, you've been bed-o-wild. Yeah. This is a huge day for me because so many pieces are slotting in. So he kind of dropped in for the Melissa and Doug years,

because I've heard about that a soul can drop in I don't even know if Melissa still alive to be honest. She's definitely alive. Yeah, she's definitely alive. She's beautiful Being dead yeah, well, I didn't know until now it was different So it's it's a lot. It's very similar. You still have bad business decisions So it's a lot, it's very similar. You still have bad business decisions. You still have to drive places. I have a car. This sounds bad.

What kind of car? Yeah, you have a car? Yeah, I have a car. You know what, and you're gonna make fun of me. I got a Tesla and I got it early before I realized there's all this baggage with it. But now I'm realizing I think it drives itself. I don't think I'm driving the car.

Yeah, it's a self-driving Tesla. Yeah, I just drive it. I just drive it to it. And it drives, so yeah. And you've been in a lot of accidents. Oh yeah, it's always self-driving Tesla. Yeah, it's just driving. I just drive into it and it drives. So, yeah. And you've been in a lot of accidents. Oh yeah, it's always on fire. So I just get another one. How do I get the cars?

I don't know. I think you're just floating into them. You're just seeing them. Yeah, other people's things are on cars. I think you're stealing them, man. Ghost can't steal. That's a good point. In the Bible, it's only occupied.

That's what I always say. Ghost can't steal. I have that bumper. Well, steel, I have a bumper. Well, Jenny, you have a big show coming up. Yeah, I got a big show, so a lake lounge. Yeah, that's incredible. And you do mainly covers that you did originally. Yeah, you know, it's interesting, you know,

when they're in the year 2000s. Please take as much time as you need to cough. Marble still in there. Oh, it's a marble. I thought it was a marbro. Jimmy Hendrix is, yeah. That's a different image. No, not my marble.

Sorry, my marble came loose. Oh, hold on. My marble came loose for a second. Oh, hold on. You can actually talk normal. Oh my God. Oh no. Oh wow.

Hurry up, let's start this thing. Hold on. Here we go. Here we go Yeah, you hear that you got this fresh Yeah, feel it feel baby you got it here we go We was walking I'm realising the issue is I don't know the words. I think that's more the issue. You're not saying any of the consonants. It's like listening to an Ariana Grande song.

Not so much that it's the voice that's the problem. I gotta learn the words. You know, I thought you said continents. I did it. I just wanted to be there. You didn't say one continent in that whole song. Incontinent. Well, look, my one suggestion is before your big show,

learn a few of the words, at least the chorus maybe. Honey, do your thing. All right, it's been 72 years with you. Wacking it out with your... Cacker it out. You know what I mean? You see me.
