Episode Date: April 22, 2024

Comedian extraordinaire Todd Glass joins Scott to talk about his new stage show “The Event of a Lifetime,” how he is using Seed & Spark to fund a run in New York, and the history of stand-up comedy. Then, radio DJ Dominic Weiss stops by to talk about his upcoming live events. Plus, Mike Stacker drops by to talk about the old days he would hang out with Scott.

I can't drive and I am 55. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thanks to Baby Wet Wet for that cashphrase submission and pardon me for being a little distracted, but someone pulled something out of their pocket and waved it at me out of the corner of my eye. I felt like... I'll tell you now, so you know, I brought something and I went't use it at the appropriate time it could be 30 minutes in but at the end of that song I thought it was the right time comedy bang bang and then I was gonna go why didn't you do it then because I got it I missed the one second you oh you got in your head about it I get no no one second would have stolen well that's it I'll do it so I'll surprise you again but I won't tell you

when all right cuz that wouldn't be a surprise. All right. That's our first guest. We'll introduce him in a second. But I do want to say, my name is Scott Aukerman. This is another episode of Comedy Bang Bang. We have a great one coming up a little later. We have a radio DJ named Dominic Weiss. We also have Mike Stacker is on the show. Uh, Mike, uh, Mike stacker is on the show. Um, I don't know what Mike stackers whole thing is, but Mike stacker will be on the show a little later. Does that excite you? Yeah.

Well, I mean, what does he do? I don't know. That's the thing. I don't know. It's fun. You know what's exciting surprises. They're never, uh, get old. That's right.

Do you like a surprise like, what are you Ellen DeGeneres, I thought you were going to have a heart attack. Another heart attack. No, I don't like surprises because I like to plan everything. Yeah. You're are, you're an anal retentive

emphasis on the anal. You're not getting that soft treatment you got on WTF. Not here, not on Comedy Bang Bang. We're a hard hitting program. Don't put it back in your pocket. Like that's the thing. You like you're delaying it by two precious seconds. Two precious.

Um, let's introduce our first guest. Like, you're delaying it by two precious seconds. Two precious seconds. Let's introduce our first guest. He is, of course, one of the best stand-up comedians in history, I would say. What is the storied history of comedy stand-up? Comedy, comma, stand-up. What do you mean? Like how far back does it go? That's a good question.

I don't know, but wasn't it, I mean, you always hear people go, oh, before, you know, the, uh, with the, the Kings and the clowns. Sure. We're not counting the fucking Jeff. Oh, right. Exactly. You know, like, I agree with you. We're comedians. Oh, before that day, the dog would take a shit on your, on somebody's face. And if they do a move, do either. I couldn't figure something. Some other, not to the dog moved either I couldn't think of something some other not sure the dog moved I also don't want to say like because uh the clown is something that I wouldn't want to be compared to because the the art of it is you know actually sure they actually have to work very hard at what they do yeah seriously but so I just mean because they always go but when did it start like me and you know I know David Brenner Brenner. Yeah. No, it went back before that.

Jerry Seinfeld. Probably. I'm kidding. No, but I mean, Vaudeville certainly had people, comedians who had, I don't know that it was exactly what standup has evolved into these days, but certainly like comedians telling jokes in front of people. Yeah. So like before that though, nothing.

Nothing. People just crying to a sock. One day there'll be something. Why? No, before that, this is what a friend of mine told me. I don't know if it's true or not, you know, these people make, he goes, people just had these. See it outside of the pocket. It's better. It's better. But do me a favor. Yeah. Put this away. I don't need it. No, we're not going to put it away. Okay. Matter of fact, if you want wanna do it, I'll let you, but you'd have to, if you trust it. Okay, I don't know, I don't know.

Yeah, I know, it's not. But, you know, the history of stand-up comm- uh, comm-e-ty, which goes back, uh, a hundred or so years, he's one of the best to ever do it, uh, and he's alive right now. A lot of these people who are some of the best to ever do it, they're long gone. They're dead. They're all dying. Every time they die, I cry, and then I go, I go, now it's only me. Moving up a notch. Moving up a notch. That's your only way you can grow is if somebody else... Oh, moving up a notch.

Because there was a good 10 years of your career where you were like number 49. Number 49 for a while. Yeah. And now you're up to like 27. You know what? Seriously, I do work, you know, hey, look, because I've not, I'm not a good actor, I'm not good in auditions. My career is- You were on Home Improvement. I saw you playing Tim's dad, weren't you?

In a flashback. I was, I was, but it's not something that I do very well. And those things can help perpetuate your career. You know, acting thing can push attention towards your comedy. So I've had a, you know, I could do one thing in theuate your career. You know, acting, thinking, push attention towards your comedy. So I've had a, you know, I could do one thing in the meantime, be, you know, bitter or go, well, just work really fucking hard on your standup. So why didn't you do either?

Ah, now you know what? You must, come here, come here, come here. He's looking for the whistle. He's looking for the whistle. Now he's going into the kitchen. What's happening here? I don't know, I'm looking for the place for you right now. What do you have, what do you have? Oh God, on the way here? I don't know, but the place is for you right now. What do you have? What do you have?

Here we go. Oh, God. On the way here, I don't know if this is going to be funny or it's going to create a weirdness in the room. You're going to play something off your phone? Yes. Okay, what do you got? Something I said on the way here. As much as I love Scott Ackerman, my prediction is, I hope it doesn't happen, that he will passive aggressively or just aggressively insult the show somewhere in that area okay and that proves that

you are on your way here because of the directions well no I thought as I was leaving that little voice memo I go oh I it doesn't, that part doesn't get in. But also I wanted you to know I have nav. Oh wow, you got sat-nav'd. But no, of course I wouldn't do that passive aggressively. I'll do it right to your face. I said passive aggressively or just aggressively, but that fucking nav interrupted it. Yeah.

But yes to what you said. Yes, I forget what I said. I do too, but that's an old trick. Sure, but back on track. Yeah, right. Yes to what you said. But he too, but that's an old trick. Sure. But back on track, yes to what you said. But he's one of the best to ever do it. He's alive and you can see him as he goes out in tours. I mean, you're not going to be able to see the Richard Pryors.

You're not going to be able to see the, who are the other good, George Carlin's. Who else is good? How about the comedy of today, Nate Bargazzi, Jim Gaffigan, Sarah Silverman? Well, they're not dead yet. My point is- Oh, oh, those. How about the greats that are alive? Just compare me to them.

Okay, yeah. I mean, he's a solid like 19 out of the ones who are alive right now. 20. Wait, I should go the other way. He has a new project that we want to hear all about. We rushed to have him on, emergency podcast recording. I will say this, because after that I get paranoid. It means a lot.

I haven't been on the show in a while. I reached out to you. Sometimes I get it, people get busy. You also have to understand that. I do understand it, but it hurts a little sometimes when someone you were nice to or whatever. Overwhelmingly, the thing I'm proud about comedians, most of them, you were one of them. Man, right back to me. Yeah, let me call you tomorrow, follow up, get you Dave Boone. I wasn't right back to you because you still texted me about a day later saying like...

But I was, what did I say? I go, I'm going to kill myself. Yeah, if you don't get back to me. Yeah, but then you said, I saw your video. I'm not, I'm a, I have reason in this request that people do get back to you. I'm reasonable about it. And I would say being reasonable, you got right back to me. And then you said, I did watch it. Great. We're just trying to find... The day that we can do it, yes. Day after that. Hey, how's this? Boom, boom, boom. We got you in an emergency podcast recording because I want people to know what this is, We're just trying to find the time. The day that we can do it, yes. The day after that. Hey, how's this? Boom, boom, boom.

We got you in an emergency podcast recording, because I want people to know what this is, because it's a very exciting project. Please welcome to the show, back to the show, he hasn't been here in a long time by his own admission, Todd Glass. Thank you. Yes, he claps for himself as well. He wants more. How dare you.

I just wanted to sound like there's something fun going on. You know what? I'll try to get this down. So we started a crowd source at Seed and Spark. Now I'll go backwards and explain why. Okay. So we started in media res. In media res, nevermind. What does that mean? In the middle of something. So like when you watch a television show and it starts somewhere in the middle of a scene and you're like, what's going on? Then it goes backwards to explain it. Oh, I didn't know that. And you know, I've learned from when I do listen to podcasts

I've been on, it's always embarrassing when you didn't know what something meant and you just plow past it. Yeah, anyway, my show. So I go, ask if you don't understand something, take the time to ask. And now do you understand it though, Todd? At first I thought it was, we now join the bloom bloom bloom in the middle. Yes, I do. I do understand. It's a style which in movies and TV and all sorts of- Jared Lies Okay, you don't understand. Okay. Todd Johnson Oh! Well, tell me, tell me. I thought I-

Jared Lies No, I told you once already. Todd Johnson You're right, right. It's not that important, but at least I showed that I can. Jared Lies You started a, it's akin to a Kickstarter. These are brand names of other companies, but yours is called. It's at Seed and Spark. It's just a place typically for indie films that does crowdsourcing. And this is a valuable tool for funding a project.

Funding a project that maybe you're interested in that the, you know, the filmmakers aren't independently wealthy. You know, I mean, you do all right, Todd. I do all right, but I don't have the type of money to to to do this on my own I would figure it out if I had to it would be a lot less than I could do let me I'll give you like can I give you like the some they get people know what it is I think I have I would love I would love to know exactly what it is that you're asking people to provide resources for and then I'll tell them what what's, I won't tell them what all the tiers are, of course, but

I'll tell you what two are, because I think they're two interesting ones. So, you know, mine let Netflix special act happy, I had a band, after that was over. When was it, when did that come out? It was like four, that was five years ago. Five years ago? Yes. So we're talking 2019. Yes, it came out in 2019, right before the pandemic.

And was this a super spreader event that caused COVID? This was a super spreader because a lady in the first row coughing, there was a lady in the first row, thank God the guy spent the money, the director, he blacked her out. She was just coughing like, like, he blacked her out. Like cops, he got rid of her. She had a bad resting face too. He goes, oh, she's getting blacked out. I'm like, oh, thank you. I said, well, you're at it. Can you black out the exit sign? Because that doesn't look too pretty either. But anyway, so you know the red exit signs. So then after I toured-

Are they green as in like come through these? They're red. I think they're red. I think they're red. Are they red? Really? I don't know. You could probably change them. If I see a red exit sign, I'm like, oh, I think they're red. Are they red, really? I don't know. You could probably change them. See, if I see a red exit sign, I'm like, oh, don't exit through this. Now I'm curious. I'm almost positive they're red, because they want everyone to see it, and I presume

they think red is the most- Is like, hey, pay attention to us. Pay attention, run out of here, right? Right. Never. I was going to digress, but I won't. No, go ahead. Digress.

No, no, no. It's not worth it. I'll be the judge of that. I'll talk about it on the Patreon show. Okay, sure. That's what I do. Wait, we're also doing a Patreon show? No, I do mine. I do mine. I go on all these podcasts.

I half say something, and then I go, let me talk about it on my Patreon. And that's how I throw a lot of people there. Thank you very much. So I'm paranoid that I'm trying to make this short. Don't make it short. I love talking to you. So I started touring with the band after that,, I love talking to you. I started, thank you. I started touring with the band after that

and things loosened up because I wasn't shooting a special, of course. And I've always cared about every minute you could take advantage of entertaining on either side of a standup comedy show. The guts of this, it's a standup comedy show. I know what it's like to wanna go out and see standup comedy.

I wanna give that to people. It's just got a lot of production around it. Seeing happens with music what you could do with music and people love music They like stand-up put it together. So it's like before the show there is that I have a saxophone player playing in the street And he's not fucking noodling. He's playing songs. They recognize and they love you know Great, that's good. If it's a block away not in my ear while I'm trying to talk in line So he plays he's I mean this guy shreds it and then while they're being seated some places that's good if it's a block away. Not in my ear while I'm trying to talk in line. So he plays, he's, I mean this guy shreds it. And then while they're being seated, some places, that's an hour. The two of the band members are out there.

Sure, yeah. I went to see a band last night and there was a good hour and 15 minutes. I just like was sitting there doing a crossword puzzle the entire time going like- At a music thing? At a music thing, yeah. Usually they're a little better at it. I mean clubs play music, but it's not like cool music since it's like to the band members and after the show if i can have an ice cream truck or if i can have

a hot chocolate and cookies to go i take advantage of every single second you know uh... uh... uh... of of the or and then there's the show like this year i toward without the band i mean there's a kiss sometimes a seven eight piece band uh... uh... playing with me and they start the show with two minutes and they toured without the band. I mean, there's like sometimes a seven, eight piece band playing with me and they start the show with two minutes and they don't just noodle again. They shred a song. They've actually rehearsed.

They rehearse. It's a tight show. It's like a stand-up comedy show backed by a big band. And then there's a lot of production around it as people are waiting to get in, as people are sitting down, as they leave. As they leave. One night I sat down with a friend of mine a few months ago, I go, is there any second that I haven't thought of like, yeah, you could, he goes, you could, some people, two people, Instagram, me them home, eating the cookies and the hot chocolate, because it's not with the water in it, they go home, they put, and they go, hey Todd, our cookies and hot chocolate made at home. They posted it on Instagram, I put it at the

end of the video. So they go, you could curate a playlist for them to listen to and back at their house. So we're doing that. Like I wanna really elongate the night. Like would it kill you to go home with them? I would go home with them. And have sex with them. I would, don't shut up.

I would, hey, we thought about it one night, some things I would do to get this show to happen. I would have sex with a girl. I don't give a shit. So what if everyone finds out? When you flip it, it's a little, it's not so, you know, I can't even say any of the things. I'm trying to think what they say. Would you do this to a guy?

But if I say it to a guy, it's too vulgar. Anyway, so here it comes. So if I just go do this show in New York, the show's not that expensive to tour with. I've been doing it for four years. It's a well-oiled machine. Right. So what are you asking people to fund? So I don't put a huge amount of money behind the advertising of it. Like when a play opens up in New York, if I don't bring in the real dogs, and it's a lot of money,

and I've done everything to make this show as tight as it can be. Even my stand-up, did I say I toured without the band to make sure my stand-up was fucking tight. This show is a well-oiled machine and the only thing that could go wrong. And it's not just some line that I say. People that see the show, they're going to go, he's fucking right. Like that is a show to go see. Is if I don't have the money to advertise it, to bring in a PR firm, what, you know, I don't know what term you use, but to really get the word out. When you open something in New York,

if it's like a one person show usually, like something Mike Burt Biglia would do, or something like that, there's a big PR push for it, and it's the people who don't necessarily go out to see standup get involved because they, it's a theatrical experience. And that's what you're looking for, is you're looking for a lot of non just the stand-up lovers that you attract with your normal stand-up.

I wouldn't mind if it's still stand-up lovers because there's still a, but the stand-up, I can think of the comedians that I would want their audience, you know, that they do stand-up, but they're also, there's a creativeness behind it. But it's a produced show. Yeah, the stand-up, the thing is, every single thing is tight, so I, within it, can be loose. Right, yes. There's a tightness to me being loose,

but yes, no, it's not a play, it's just- No, it's not a play, but it is, when I say theatrical experience, much like David Byrne's American Utopia, it was not a play, but it was a theatrical experience that belonged on Broadway. Right, like if I start talking about, I have this bit, I won't tell you the bit, but it's just theatrical experience that belonged on Broadway. Right. Like, if I start talking about, I have this bit, I won't tell you the bit,

but it's just about guys that don't trim their toenails. Okay, it is a funny bit, trust me. But if you're doing... I want to hear this bit now! If you're doing that bit with production, and all of a sudden the stage is now, like, this cool color and things change over this simple stand-up bit,

so that's what the crowd source is for. So that's what you're trying to achieve. You want to do a run in source is for. You wanna do a run in New York. I wanna do a run in New York. And how long do you want, are you thinking? Well, I'd like to do it for two weeks, a month, and also- What about three years? Oh, are you kidding me? But I think, yes, of course three years I meant

when I said, are you kidding me? But I think you have to do a run first and turn it into something. Sell it out and then, yes. Yes, and then go, oh, or maybe even someone in Chicago, because I have a place I'd like to, because if you do well somewhere, you take all the positive press and you can go do it other places. Well, no, I mean, it's a lot like touring a Broadway show where you come in to, say,

the Pantages here in town for a month and you get enough notice and enough people are like, oh, a theater. Sure's go. Let's go to this thing I read about and last thing so if my pipe dream is to not my pipe dream. The second part is the pipe dream is To get I don't want to go nobody would you go to my comedian friends and go hey would you would you you know? I fund this play right but once it is funded then I will go to them and I will say, can I borrow your name? I don't want to list the people, but instead of one, like you say, Mike Brabiglia presents Alex, you know, try to have five. Because I think it's a kitsch idea. What if you just borrow their name so people think they're going to see them instead of

you? Well, that's what my brother said. Oh, your brother. He sounds very funny. He's hit or miss. He's hit or miss. He's hit or miss. But then, to then go to them and ask if I could borrow their names. So, on the billboard, it would be very clear. It would just be like, because when it says like, this person presents, you know, you get it. Your name's still bigger and it still says presents. And then, if one person comes in and pays for the whole thing, one person comes in, they can get their name up on the billboard too. But then you gotta pay for the whole thing.

But could it be, if one person pays for the whole thing, could it be as big as like Batman v Superman? You know, where- Their name would be as big as- As like Scott Ackerman versus Todd Glass. As big as yours? Not as big as mine. Come on, Todd.

I'm paying for this whole thing. How much is this costing me? Hold on, but it would be as big as the people. We got to sell this. I don't want to say the names because then they know I'm getting a call from Todd once this thing's funded. But you know what it is? I know who you're talking about. It's people I want their audience. Yeah, exactly. And I love what they do, but I also want their audience. I'm jealous of their audience. I'm going to reach out to some of those people and then if that one person pays for it, yeah, boom. How much? We don't have to talk about how much. We'll talk about that later. You like this car? I'm going to reach out to some of those people and then if that one person pays for it, yeah, boom. How much?

We don't have to talk about how much. We'll talk about that later. Okay. You like this car? I'd like my name bigger than yours. Oh, that question has come up so much. What would you do? Absolutely.

I take back what I said before. If somebody pays for their whole thing and that name is bigger than everybody, yeah. You think- Okay, here's my issue. I pay for the whole thing. Issue? Oh no. There's no issue. I pay for the whole thing and it's just Scott Ackerman Presents. Yes. 99% of the people that you want to attract say, who the fuck is that?

So don't you want someone to pay for it who also has that audience that you also want? No, because I don't need them at that point. I always think, and I mean this genuinely, if that means anything to you, sometimes you you know, when you think you explained something really well, and I do not mean this passive aggressively, you realize you don't because of the questions you get after you're done. So like a dumb shit asks you some question and you're like, oh. No, not a dumb shit. People that are very intelligent that I've told about the show and they go, oh, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh. I'm I'm like oh is that how I sound to you buh buh buh yeah here's you the names would be big that we're presenting yes by the way I would do this if I don't get the names

it would just be very helpful to you know in advertising to say I'm just gonna say some names okay throw out some names you know Sarah Silverman, John Mulaney, Eric Andre, you know, Patton Oswald, you know, present Todd Glass. Right. And if the person pays for the whole thing, get their name gets within theirs. If there's one name in there, no one recognizes, it doesn't matter.

So the other names are big, they're going to help me. But if every person I asked to use their name said no, I would still gonna do the show, but that would be helpful to have a few comedians that go, Todd's a nice guy, but it would be someone that has a large audience. Wait, so now they have to say you're a nice guy as well as just like saying.

No, I'm saying over the years these comedians will go, yo, he's a nice guy, Todd Glass has always been nice. All right, well, let me use your name. Let me use your name. So there it is in a nutshell. Okay. Well, so people are essentially you're asking people to put up money to pay for you to get a little backing production and also publicity for the show.

What do you think it is? We have a number. Do you want to guess? And I'll tell you this way. When my manager said to somebody that's in that world, they go, I know, because you know in the beginning of your career when you have something to promote, they go, well, she's $2,300 and she got me on this or that and then someone spent 10,000. He goes, no, to bring in the big dogs. There's other, you can go higher than this, but this is the amount where yes, what do you think it is to promote a show like that and it starts a month before it happens? I'm going to say $ 3.4 million dollars.

No, shut up! Is that what you're trying to raise? No, it's two. No, no. Do you want to guess? You want to guess? I'll guess, yeah. Just for the publicity?

Just for the PR. And that could include social media, it includes the whole thing and whatever it is. I'm gonna say 10,000. No, no, no, no. Not even that? Not even that. It's much, much more. Oh, it's much,,000. No, no, no, no. Not even that? Not even that. It's much, much more.

Oh, it's much, much more. Really? Yeah, much, much more. Just think about it. For someone to really work on something, you've got to have some money. This is disappointing to me because I had written you a $10,000 check. Well, I can still take it. Where is it?

You hear chaos in the room as I lunge over and try to find the check as your computer knocks over. It's $50,000. $50,000. $30,000 to $50,000. house in the room is like lunge over and try to find the check as your computer knocks over. It's $50,000. $50,000. $30,000 to $50,000. You start at $30,000, just plan on $50,000. And what do they get in return for pledging their stuff? They don't have to get a lot. Come on. No, but I mean...

There's different levels. There's different tiers. One is an hour show, which certain people, they give a certain amount. I don't know it by heart, they give a certain amount, I do an hour show with the band, with everything in the studio, of course not for each individual person. There's different tiers. One is, it's a high ticket item, name the band after you or your business. See, at first I thought, I'm not letting them in the business, I'm gonna have to go, I have Tony's Pizza Band, and then I went, oh yeah, I would do that. And I have the whole band, all 10 of them or eight of them go, you know what your name is, we're the Joey's Pizza Band, and then I went, Oh yeah, I would do that. And I have the whole band, all 10 of them or eight of them

go, you know what your name is, we're the Joey's Pizza Band. It's a lot like when a pizza joint would sponsor Little League Company or something like that. Right, but at least Little League, it's not like this, you know, you're in a, I want to do it in a jazz type club. I want like drinks, no food, but like black tablecloths to the ground. What color do you want these exit signs to be?

You know what? I have an opinion on exit signs. You want to know what they are? Sure, yeah, let's hear. Well, I was at a cool jazz club in Texas called Jazz Texas. The owner's name is Doc Watson. And I noticed that his exit signs were, like you can go and get old exit signs. So when, they look stylistic for anything, but especially if you're shooting something

and you can't, at least when you see the exit signs, they're not ugly exit signs. I didn't know you were allowed to do that. He goes, yeah, you can put up any exit signs you want. So, yeah, there's a little tip if you're starting a club. Don't steal this guy's antique. Every little detail matters. So yeah, it's Seed and Spark. The easiest I could make it was go to Toddglass.com.

I think that's the easiest way because everyone can remember that. That's the easiest way because who knows how to spell seed, who knows how to spell spark. You might forget it, but Toddglass. Toddglass.com, you're never going to forget that. Boom, it takes you over there and that shoots you right over to Seed and Spark. And then that says that there's the four and a half minute highlight reel, which I think Steve Rosenthal did. Yeah, I've seen the highlight reel. This is what prompted me to get right back. He did a good job.

He did a great job. He captured it. And then there's a message from me. And you know what? I said everything, and I appreciate you letting me. I know it's long, but like, you're so passionate about something. Well, you are. You're a passionate guy, and that's what we love about you is we, I wouldn't want to see a Todd Glass who's checked out mentally.

Thank you. You know? And you know, the price that people will see when it's there, obviously, we can do it a lot less. We want to shoot the whole process and maybe go into a tour bus, stop it like the Vermont Comedy Club and run it there for a week and then head over to Broadway. Sure, yeah. Make it a touring show and shoot it as a documentary. All this stuff. Yeah. But if somebody said, no, but we can come up with this money, the number can be a lot less and I can still do this show, but that's the big goal. Okay. Well, we want you to do whatever you want to do. We want you to be out there passionately, The number can be a lot less and I can still do this show, but that's the big goal. Okay.

Well, we want you to do whatever you want to do. We want you to be out there passionately defending this and sure, it's going to take probably 10 years off your life, but what do you do? Why are you making a kissy face to me? Oh my God, you are sick in your head. Did you see me? Did I do it? Be honest.

No. Thank you. He just, he's shaking his head. Did I? No. You have a problem. You really, oh my God. You were making a kissy face at me. Oh my God. And no one else in the room saw it. This makes me look bad. Like, I know you're married. You have a kid who's awake because I rang the doorbell.

All right. We have to take a break, Todd, but can you stick around because we have a radio DJ. We also have a Mike, Mike Stacker is here. Mike Stacker. Yeah. I want to find out what Mike Stacker does. Yeah. Yeah. Stick around. Yeah. We all want to find out what Mike Stacker DJ. We also have a Mike, Mike stacker is here. Yeah. I want to find out what Mike stacker does. Yeah. Yeah. Stick around. Yeah.

We all want to find out what Mike stacker does. We're going to be right back with more Todd glass, more comedy bang bang. We'll be right back after this comedy bang bang. Todd glass is here of Todd glass.com fame. Um, was it hard? TikTok and Instagram too. What? TikTok and Instagram? I forgot.

I thought you said Big Todd on Instagram. No, no. Big Todd. You can find me at Big Todd. Todd Glass is here, of course, go check out his Kickstarter for his show. And we need to get to our next guest, Todd. This is very exciting. We have a radio DJ. I know you love DJs. I remember, wasn't there a time where, like, there's never been a time where a microphone has been lying around and you haven't grabbed it and just talked into it first. Well, Pat Oswald said I would. He saw me at the grocery store talking on the PA because

I was with him and they let me. And he goes, Todd, I think you'd be happy just working anywhere where there was a PA. I know, there used to be a car wash in my neighborhood when I was young, and they'd let me get on the PA, and I spent three hours there sometimes when I was 17, 18 years old, just pulling people in, all right, bring it in. He goes, you just want a PA. Yeah, I love that. Well, let's get to, our next guest talks into just want a PA. Yeah, I love that. That's why I really want it.

Well, let's get to our next guest talks into microphones for a living. He is a radio DJ. Please welcome Dominic Weiss. Hello, Scott. It's Dominic Weiss and the Weiss is nice. I'm coming in from WFZZ, the fuzz, where we play everything from the 70s, 80s, 90s, all of the 2000s and the 50s and 60s as well. Wow. So pretty much all of recorded music other than the 40s? And they do talk through the night maybe you could say. You cover every genre of music. This is just a programming suggestion.

We talk through the night, we have a live event coming up downtown. It's the Downtown Roller Skate Rink. A Downtown Roller Skate Rink? We're doing the Downtown Roller Skate Rink all summer long. I'll be there DJ. We're playing all the hits. I'm going to play a little, I'm going to play Migos. We're playing things from Rat and Poison. I'm going to have Cardi B playing all night long. We're going to crank those speakers as loud as they can go. Wow. So you got Migos and Rat and Poison. I've never heard that mixture. That sounds amazing. We're going to be spinning

them all night long over there. All night long. Do you still, like, cause I know some of the DJs, bring like records still? It's all digital these days, Todd, but I do bring the records everywhere I go. But you don't use them? No, I never do. I throw them out. Sometimes I'll pass them out to the skaters. They can pass them around or sort of wing them at each other like Frisbees, but I need them all back by the end of the night.

That sounds dangerous. It is very dangerous. And you needed them all back. I need them all back in perfect condition. Well, the condition I gave them to you. So I'm out there all summer long every Sunday night. What city is this? This is LA, baby. This is where it's all happening. But you're at W something? No, KZZ The Fuzz. Oh, the Fuzz. KZZ The Fuzz. You've heard The Fuzz. I have not heard The Fuzz. You haven't tuned into our weekend rollouts where we're playing everything

from Tom Petty's solo work, The Mormigos. Okay. And Body Rate. I'll be playing, okay. It's great to have you. Welcome to the, you have such a classic DJ voice. How long have you been DJing?

I've been DJing since 2012. 2012? 2012! I thought, well, I was thinking like this guy's been around since... That's when I got into it. I saw somebody on, I saw an old Howard Stern clip and I said, hey, I'd love to do this without all the, you know, throwing cheeseburgers at people's asses. So not all of it. I do some of it. So anytime Howard Stern would throw a cheeseburger at an ass... I turned off the TV. Not all of it, I do some of it. So, anytime Howard Stern would throw a cheeseburger at a mass- I turned off the TV.

I'd hit mute on it so I wouldn't hear that slap. I don't remember him do it, was that something he did? Something he kind of did on a regular basis. He'd just throw cheeseburgers? Cheeseburgers, he would throw rodeo burgers, anything he wanted. Rodeo burgers. I'm not being disrespectful, what is the difference between a cheeseburger and a rodeo burger? A rodeo burger I believe has barbecue sauce all over it.

Oh, okay. So that inspired a love of the media. I fell in love with the media and I went down to K... K... WFCC. KWFCZ. We got the K and the W now. So you went down there now 12 years ago and you've been working 12 years. Really? It's been 12 years I can't believe it.

Wow. I remember I started there we were playing, again we were playing a lot of Poison back then. Sure. A lot of Migos as well? I'd roll them into the Migos and the doors. Sure. Is there any tip of music for whatever the reason

you will never play? I will never play hate music. Nice. Hate speech is not welcome on WFZZ. Okay so like old recordings of like Adolf Hitler speeches. We are not for all those we are the only station in LA who will not play old Hitler. None of this new stuff either. We're sitting more in that 70s 80s groove they will pop in something from the 40s. Sure. Yeah. What about the-

Gospel music Tuesdays is happening all spring. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'd love to tune into that. And don't miss our Halloween fright night. Is that on Halloween or- That is the day before Halloween. Oh, okay. All right. Still pretty timely. Why are you having gospel music on Tuesdays? She's like Sundays. That's just where we can fit of it. Because Sundays is when I played all the Migos. We got a special day coming up on Tuesday,

or Tuesday, next Tuesday. Okay. We're bumping the gospel, and we're playing just the song Billie Jean. Okay. That, and then we're gonna play Billie Eilish songs, then back to Billie Jean. So it's gonna be Billie Eilish songs with Billie Jean in the middle of it. So alternating Billies. That's right. But every other Billie is a Billie Jean. So it's gonna be Billie Eilish songs with Billie Jean in the middle of it. So alternating Billies. That's right. But every other Billie is a

Billie Jean. Every other Billie is a Billie Jean! That's right, that's what the posters say. Todd, I know you're in the poster business these days. I, well, no, I put a little money in towards poster business. How did you know that? I was half listening. So you make and distribute the posters? I'd love to get some. What were you doing with the other half? I was wrapped. I just put money into a poster business. I'd love to be a part of that. I would love to get on the poster you're using to promote your business and show. Throw my name on it and put a little word about it. Very tiny type. You'd need a magnifying glass to

see it. Just I want to promote the Fright Fest. To be honest with you, I like your energy and I like that you don't play hate how could you not like the energy it's all right here all the time and what's your hat say give him work it says to get the headphones off and take a look oh you don't know you just put on a different let me see it says FU. That's where the wife is. I thought it was KWFCC. Depends what coaster you're on. All these coasters, WFCC, KFCC is out here in the LA area. Well, this, I mean, it sounds like you have great programming. I'm not quite sure why you're on this show. Just to talk about some events and uh, fill in some community service time.

You're not expecting a good crowd for your Hollywood Fright Fest? I haven't had a good one yet. What is not good? Like how many people? Well, let's see, for the Fright Fest, we do that over at the old Gibson Amplitheater, the one they tore down. Oh yeah. We still do it there! And... Wait, that was the old Universal Amplitheater, Now they've like turned it into a Fast and Furious ride. We do it in there now. Wow. Is it like an underground thing? It's kind of underground. You got to get it. Well, it's hopefully it's not underground.

I want a lot of people to know that we would people get on the ride and as they come through, they hear me spinning Migos. They're here. They spin body. Do you love Migos? I absolutely love Migos. I don't even think I know one of their songs. I don't even think I heard their name. Black Beatles. Of course.

The Black Beatles? And by the way, we are gonna be spinning some Beatles songs. Oh cool. All these sides. Beatles sides. Nice. I like it. Thank you.

So you love the Migos and... I just call them Migos. Okay. Los Migos? No, and you By the way, black Beatles is not by Migos. It's by a race that unpronounceable last name of swimming I Think Kanye West may have had a black Beatles song. Yes, or a lyric I I think he's had many lyrics that we should... Too bad for us to listen to.

We can't listen to him on our station. Yeah, yeah. The minute he crossed over into hate speech, you took him down? We took all his vinyl and threw it away and then went to our computers and trashed all the vinyl. Wow. Who did you say you did it to? Kanye West.

Did you empty the trash? Shit! You're going to need to give me your... I might have to bounce a little early to it. Yeah, no problem. By the way, yes, you can put your little ad on my poster. I didn't. Thank you very much.

I'm happy to do it. I assumed I could. Nope. Not sure if I like that answer. I don't think so. So answer your question. Yes. In 2012, I got into the radio business.

It's been a huge help for me after the passing of my wives. Oh, wait, wives. Right. You've had many wives over the years. I had two ex-wives that got involved with each other. They became best friends. Oh, that's one way to get involved. They went involved in a travel group. They went out to the Egyptian pyramid and they fell off the top of them.

Off the very point? I don't know what they were doing up there. I don't know how they got them. They're dead now. And it took my mind off it because, you know, I wanted to get back together with both of them. So you were out there wanting to get back together with both of them simultaneously. That's right. I wanted to see if they wanted to throuble. And then instead they go to the pyramids and go right up to the top. Fell off. Fell off. Fell off.

It seems like- From what I heard, from the anecdotes I heard from the travel guide, they- These are anecdotes. I got it very anecdotal. I think that's the wrong word. This came to me anecdotally. The way he tells it though, what else could you call it? You got to hear the way this guy tells it. So what are these anecdotes?

So apparently they were up there with a couple Egyptian rugs they had found at Egyptian Ikea, brought them up there and slid down on them and landed head first into Tootin Commons. Remains? Remains. Oh man. And you gotta imagine, now it wasn't the crash that killed them, that was made very clear to me. What killed them then?

It was the old dust. Oh, okay. That's old dust. That's bad dust's bad dust. Oh, okay. For all you people out there with addicts, don't start inhaling that dust. It is. Yeah. So this happened in 2012. I'm surprised I didn't hear about it, but. Yeah, I'm surprised too. I thought I told the LA Times to print the story. And did they? They did not. You never followed up? I never followed up. I just assumed that they would do it like Todd here. Right.

Yes, that's the problem. We just, it just came full circle. I get too used to this. I don't know that the LA Times would print something based on anecdotes. That's probably true. That's what they need to source these things out. They did, they did get back to my assistant and said they were not going to touch this story.

Okay, so you did get your answer. He did get back. I used to want to be a DJ when I was little and I used to practice this. Okay, so you did get your answer. I used to want to be a DJ when I was little and I used to practice this. There's a radio station called WWDB and I would try to do like the voice. I don't get the tenure that you have, but I would go, I was learning. I'd be like, three, six, five, 40, 100. Give us a call. Cell phones are free.

WWDB. We'll be right back with Frank Ford. Pretty bad. Not bad. Not bad. Yeah. That's not bad. I would love to see, I would love you to come down to FWCC, AG, SC, FCC. I've worked for a few stations. You have? You've only been working 12 years and you've worked for so many stations? I don't last long in a station. You don't last long? No, because I leave the, I leave the, on the digital, the computer, I leave the trash bin filled up. So you've known about this and you've gotten fired for it. That's why I'm so, I'm sweating bullets here. Okay. So what else is going on over there at KWFZZ?

I mean, it's a long time between now and Halloween. Are you free Thursday night? I could be. Be by your radio Thursday night. We're gonna be playing Britney Spears. We're gonna be playing Britney Spears, all her hits mixed in with Leonard Skinner. Okay.

And you want me buy my radio for this? You're gonna wanna, you're not gonna wanna miss this stuff. I'm also gonna be having an exclusive interview with Cardi B talking about Ice Spice, the new queen of hip hop. Oh, really? Oh, so how did you get an interview with her? This sounds amazing.

Called up. You just called her up. I had her phone number. Oh, where'd you get her phone number? I had met her on a plane once. Oh, really? I got bumped from first class up to a private jet. I didn't realize they could do that.

An upgrade. An upgrade to me. Here's the thing. The private jet flight was five hours later. I still took it. Right. Well, I mean, yeah, I can And upgrade. And upgraded me. Here's the thing. The private jet flight was five hours later. I still took it. Well, yeah, I can only imagine you're there. And wait, did Cardi B know about this? Cardi B knew about it.

The trick was on me, though. My seat was zero A. And if any flight attendants out there know that is the bathroom. Oh, okay. I was sitting in the bathroom the whole flight. In the bathroom? In the bathroom.

What if somebody needed the bathroom? I had to get up. Stand outside. And I was told specifically I couldn't sit in their seat while they were in the bathroom. And is Cardi B the only person on this plane? Yes. And you couldn't sit on... On some of the Migos guys. Oh, okay. This is what developed your love of Migos. That's what I told him. I promised him. I said, you give me 10 minutes in your seat when you're in the bathroom. I will spin me meagos every station I go to. Now it makes sense, at first, no offense, but you should tell that upfront.

Yeah, because it sounded to me like you couldn't think of any other group other than meagos. Yeah, now this makes sense. No, no, I'm sure I wrote some down. No doubt. No, sure, no doubt you did. No doubt in Chevelle. We're gonna be spinning that at the Spring Fest the Springfest over there at the El Hambra Honda.

What is Springfest? Springfest is a time to get all, it's a time to go out, dress up and listen to some old tracks from the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the like. Okay, and you get dressed up and do what? You go up to this Honda dealership? Yeah, listen to the music. I can only do so much as a DJ. The rest is up to you.

Anything else going on, Dominic Weiss? Let's see here, around the holidays, we're gonna be rocking around. Which holidays? The Christmas holidays. Oh, okay. New years. Only six months away, by the way, I realized yesterday.

Get ready for New Year's, we're gonna be doing a Nick Clark Rockin' Eve. Seven months, maybe. Until the actual like holiday season. But what's going on with Rockin' Eve? We're gonna do it with Nick Clark. It's Clark's son. His son? Oh, okay. And he's gonna be spinning more No Doubt and Migos. Did I mention it was all night long? I gotta say, there's not a lot going on at your station. It's like... Okay, so is this a slam against me or the good people at WFZZ? I mean, this is a...

You've come on here to talk about some of your events. You don't have a lot. You don't seem to know very many bands. I think I've probably named six events at least. Yeah, but they don't sound fun. Wow, that that hurts I mean like what is just you drive to a Honda dealership and you listen to the radio address on right take a test driving a Honda and you can only do it for free if

you listen to KWFCC while you're driving and no offense he's probably fluffing it up a little yeah better than it is honestly it's probably it's probably Yeah, most people don't under exaggerate events to be honest with you I i'm under exaggerating because we had so many people out last year opposite of what the uh fright night was You said that you didn't have a lot of I need to deal with that. I'm trying to get you know I'm trying to get down there to play to play live on Fright Night in the fashion the furious ride Chris Farron me go me go you try well I Have some bad news for you

I'll tell you off there. There's a lot I want to talk about off. Yeah I wish you would have brought stuff to talk about on air Your events suck And you're not that interesting. Ouch! I mean, that's probably the worst thing you can say to a radio DJ. A guy who lives his life thinking he's interesting. Lives. What's the most interesting thing to ever happen to you? I shy from the two wives who... That didn't happen to you. That happened to your wives. Good point. You're right. I was nowhere near that. I had nothing to was nowhere near that I'm not saying that I'm not I'm glad you're not

I'm not your alibi for this you're my ally you're my ally I'm here the whole time talking about it on comedy bang bang I was nowhere near there it's I was here that that horrible day in 2012 I was here okay well what's the most interesting thing to happen to you personally happen to me yeah yes that's not that's not a Migos event Nothing, I thought getting bumped up to the first class I mean that to be honest to have a private plane ride with Cardi B Me as a kid. I went to a summer camp. Okay, right. It got very friendly with the counselors

Okay, and they took advantage of it took all my money they conned you out of, took all my money. They conned you out of all- They conned all my money and- How did, what, how? How was it, what kind of scam was this? When I would show up at summer camp, early on in the summer, I brought a trunk and it was filled with dollar bills.

Oh, okay. Why? Because my parents said, we're not paying for anything for you all summer and this is what you have to use at the canteen That's right. I don't like candy. So you look like an easy mark. I was a nice guy back then. I'm not so nice anymore Oh, really? Okay. Well, I'll follow up with about that later. Oh fair, of course

You'll be off but that was a that was a bad thing to have to me. I one time met Larry Bird Oh, where would you be Larry Bird? I met him on another plane. Okay. He was he was in the first class and I was in the back bathroom I got a sheet in the back bathroom. Okay So I went up to him. I snuck it. I got I knocked one of the flight attendants out Went up sat next to him and he said what are you doing? Are you supposed to be be, uh, you know serving the drinks? I said well, we do a lot more than just serve drinks up here. It's about safety. Sure. Okay. And I sat down next to him. I said, why don't you, why don't I, I covered his mouth with my hand. He licked my hand. Okay. That's not interesting to you.

I just, I don't think, does the story end there? It just, it sounds like you're in the middle of it. Oh, well the story ends when we land the plane safely. Okay. It's funny, I had the opposite thing, which is crazy. I got bumped down. I was in a private jet opening up for Daniel Tosh. One of his friends wanted to go.

There was only room for seven of us. So they put me on the regular flight two hours later. Wow. Can you say who the friend was? I can't. It sounds like you're bragging about Going on tour Daniel talk. Well, I don't think I would yeah Maybe never know you never know these days Funny like that a climate like this in a climate like this. You got to get out these, you know, yeah

You know, uh, was I bragging? Yeah Maybe we'll talk about it off the we'll talk about You know, was I bragging? Nah, maybe. We'll talk about it off the air. We'll talk about it off the air. With his stuff. Yeah, I think, yeah, we'll go ahead. We're gonna have a big powwow off the air. I'd like to straighten this all out.

Yeah, but speaking of off the air, we do need to take a break. I'm sweating like a big oldie. Yeah. I've never been more nervous on a microphone in my life. Yeah, you're an old hand at that. Well, not incredibly old. I'm too old, but how old are you?

Yeah, how old of a guy are you? Let's see here. The wives died when I was 50. In my 60s. Okay, yeah, it sounds like you're 62. Exactly 62. Yeah. Oh, you're 60 also?

I guess I was on chemo for a couple years. I don't know what. Without needing it? No, I was going every week for chemo. I guess for chemo, because I thought I was taking propene shots, but I guess it was chemo I was having. By accident. Yeah, that's the opposite. Your hair would fall out. My hair would fall out, yeah, my bones are brittle.

There are other benefits to chemo though. It's not just used for making hair fall out. Oh really? Like what? It's to kill cancer cells. I mean, there's a whole history of science behind it. But if you don't have any cancer cells, there's no reason to take it. There's no reason to take it unless you just want your hair to fall out.

Yeah, no, you do, you look like a giant baby who's like. I'm full of energy under these gums. Yeah. I'm having problems. I spent all my money on fucking cold busters and challenges. I spent like 10,000 dollars on cold busters. Why that much?

That's too much. Did you think that was gonna help the, what did you think that was? The long gum situation? I just like, like, buying cool shit. Like, the best to be fucking like, I think that was gonna help the long gum situation. Like, buying cool shit. Like, we used to be fucking, like, out there, man.

You should remember that, Sky. You and Sky were pitching a show. Oh. What just happened? What just happened? I had a little bit of trouble problem, 54, level 54. So me and Scott were pitching a show to Spike TV last week. Spike TV doesn't even exist.

No, that's the problem. No. OK. That was a fucking problem. And I had that too much Botox, remember? And I had my nose exploded. What exploded? your nose? Well, the doctor said the botox was probably it was collected in my nose and then exploded.

You cannot stay with me. Well, then leave. If you can't stay with me. I live in LA. I'm not live in LA. Well then leave! If you can't stay with me! I live in LA! I'm not your best friend! I can't live with my mom anymore. Why? What happened to your mom?

This sounds like a very sad story. I'm sorry to hear this. Why can't you stay with her though? Like she's in the insane asylum. What, you want me to live with other fucking wackos? No, where did she live? No, where did she live before? Seattle when we grew up.

I know, who's in that house now? Oh, that house now? Oh, that house is sold. Oh wait, she had the wherewithal to sell her house as she was going into the inside? What? I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Novacelek bought that house. Okay, this story's not adding up. Do you remember this house from your childhood?

Did he go to this house in his childhood, you're saying? Well, we were, we would hang out all the time in the driveway and we would like make believe and come out and play. It sounds real. I mean, I remember being in driveways as a kid. And then we would go out together. I dreamt of that.

Were you a neighbor of mine, maybe? Yes, I was. Come out and we hung out last week. I was being a guy, Scott, after that, the best time of the morning, we went to see Lightyear together. I saw it. Yeah. Look, here's what I'm thinking. I saw light year. You might've snuck two martinis in a light year and drank them yourself. Here's what I'm thinking.

I'm doing a bunch of things that you happen to also be at, like you're following me. And I don't think I've ever met you in my life. I'm not big. I'm just saying like, maybe you're some guy who just happens. We happen to be crossing paths a lot How do you figure this out? I'm sitting between the two of you his stories do sound real But I knew you and I guess I'd never I never come You look a little familiar, but you know where I think I don't want to be unfair to Scott you did you park behind me?

Like I thought maybe I see him from just yeah, I mean, this is the thing. I don't think he was masturbating in his. Yeah, I mean, this is the thing. I don't think we've ever met. He was masturbating in his car. I didn't want to say anything. He was? Were you? Yeah, I thought. Why? Because that's my fucking home.

Oh, I'm sorry. You should be allowed to do that. Behind closed doors, people should be allowed to do whatever they do. I got a question for Scott and Todd here. He's in his house. In all fairness. In all fairness, it's where he lives.

It's a baddest house and in his tons of windows in it. Yep, pointy. The world's a question. I was going to ask you and Todd here. This guest we have, Mike Stacker. Yeah. Is this voice coming in crystal clear for you guys? Yeah, I mean... I'm hearing it perfectly. I love it. It definitely is... I mean, it's odd.

It's a problem. You're having trouble with your respiratory. I mean, like, I also lost my toes last week at the Grove. What happened to your toes? A fucking trolley accident. Oh no. We all know those are, you need those for the balance. Cut my fucking toes right off.

My toes look like a fucking bludgeon boil whip now. Oh no. Oh, do you just tip over when you stand up? What do you want? Do I tip up? Do you tip over? Yes. Now you're having trouble understanding me? Yeah. I'm like, I'm not a Mr. Stacker. I'm not a doctor or anything, but could you, we're talking about the rest. Can you give us a nice clear breath here? I want to see how you're... Sure. That sounds... That's trouble. That sounds bad. That's... that's...

Oh yeah. That sounds better. That's a little better. It's a little bit... two guys that don't want to get bombed. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah, it sounds good. Let me hear it again, just so we're not putting you out to the wild. I do have to admit that I kissed somebody with bronchitis and stuff.

Maybe with all the other ailments, it just snags on each other and goes quick. Okay, look, Mike, I can't solve your problem. Maybe you can stay with Todd, but unfortunately we're running out of time. That's fine. If you need anything, we'll always hear you.

You mother... Yeah, Todd, honestly, you're very needy. Now you're throwing brunch on top of him staying in the place. I'm about to tell the guy, pass! I don't want to be seen with you, I'm sorry. You motherfucker!

Alright, we'll see you next time. Thanks, bye!
