This is a HeadGum Podcast. Kevin a question I'm like asking I'm asking
myself and I'm like kind of
trying to process it and then he's
immediately comes back like
sort of interrupting
me trying to figure out the answer for
myself. You know what I mean?
Like I said like today
today he's like Otsuko has
a show. She has a record
after this so she has to like go pretty
early and i just text that we'd have about 45 minutes and i text is that enough time
and that's me that was me like that was for me you know like am i gonna be working it out
get my shit off time can i like can i ramp up into full beast mode the way I need to?
Usually happens around, for fans of the show, minute 42, minute 43, I'm suddenly really doing pretty powerful comedy.
And the first 41 minutes are nice.
Some of the time they can be pleasant,
but they're not real podcast.
And if I'm cut off before I can get it all out,
that could actually be very dangerous.
Medically, it's an issue.
And Kevin's just like, yes.
Just immediately, yes.
Yes.
Yes, that's enough time. And it's okay well let me just like let me think about it for a second because i know now osco has to do this other show now i know
what it is yeah unfortunately it was revealed by um the mysterious man the your associate ryan oh my my associate husband associate husband best
friend oh disgusting you say husband you say husband okay i i you call it associate i used
to say partner now i say associate yeah partner felt a little too formal associate feels you know
more romantic to me yes it is an association isn't it yeah i'm associated with
them uh-huh and then if you want to get real freaky i'm currently associating
right now no that was just like a you know example sentence something you could say
at a different time when you were yes yes i hear a
word i like to use it in a sentence most of my sentences are example sentences big spelling bee
vibes yeah um yeah and so ryan revealed that the other show is called bananas you put a hot dog
necklace on you because their show is called Bananas. And that's a food.
And it's a different kind of food.
It's a long, you know, semi-cylindrical food, too, you know?
Yeah.
Some would call it a stretch.
It's like, oh, banana, hot dog.
You call a hot dog a stretch?
Yeah.
Well, a footlong hot dog, you call it a stretch.
Yeah, it's a stretch.
You get a stretch.
Throw a stretch on the grill.
Mm-hmm. Right? Yeah, I would say. It's a stretch. You get a stretch. Throw a stretch on the grill. Mm-hmm.
Right?
Yeah, I would say.
It's a stretch of meat bundled up.
Mm-hmm.
And, yeah, but I think it's kind of a stretch to say,
hey, banana, hot dog, same thing.
Am I right?
You know?
What is a hot dog if not a bundled stretch of meat?
Yeah.
Right?
And a banana is a stretch of fibrous yes
fibrous fruit tissue just um just a healthy stretch of fibrous fruit tissue encapsulated and a hard peel but the the hot dog necklace is the hot dog necklace is for it's not for me you
know i mean it's for the the gentleman i'm guessing i thought he just was like this will
look great you're in the zoom window um you know what's wild i don't want to i don't want to throw you all off but what's wild is my associate
husband best friend ryan a queen colleague neighbor some would say you know because it's like
i don't know why not yeah and you could say you could say i'm neighboring right now yes exactly oh it's too early for all this sexy talk but um we're getting it painted
what's wild is i'm not doing bananas at all today the podcast wow that's so demented that was
that was so this was all set up this is like ryan's Island, like the end of Shutter Island.
It's true.
As I work back through, I go,
none of this really happened.
It was all taking place in Ryan's head.
Is this all real? You know, and we don't need to make this about
who's who and two boys on two boys,
but, you know, the Bananas hosts are two boys.
And he saw two, I think he saw two boys on the screen.
You know, two nice young men, Hayes and Sean,
and thought those are the same boys.
And we are, as you mentioned, of a similar descent.
Those were your words.
That's right.
Yes.
And so I was going to let you do it.
Kevin, will you pull up the banana boys so I can get a look at them?
Sure.
Can we actually take a long look at them?
So it's Kurt Braunohler.
Cousins, I guess.
Kurt Braunohler.
Oh, it's Kurt Braunohler.
Kurt Braunohler.
Wow.
Who's the other boy?
Who's he doing it with?
Who are we bringing in?
Oops, I googled bananas boy.
Who's going toe-to-toe with Kurt?
Kurt, he's very big.
He's tall, very tall.
Scotty Landis?
Scotty Landis.
Scotty?
Oh, God.
That's right.
You know Scotty.
You know Scotty.
You know Scotty.
You know Scotty.
Yeah.
Didn't you work with Scotty? I worked with Scotty? Oh, God. That's right. You and Marilyn Hudflap. Yeah. Didn't you work with Scotty?
I worked with Scotty, yeah.
Did anyone ever mix you two up?
Scotty and I?
Mm-hmm.
No, no, no.
It was pretty clear who was on a speedboat to success
and which one of us was just going to kind of hang back
and chill with Kevin and Hayes.es hey it's not a competition hey you need buoys
you need buoys floating around no they tell you where it's safe to go that's a little warning
sign you need bullies and your best bully is yourself is that what's going on yeah i think that's that's true as well um let me say the buoy
never sinks the speedboat it's in danger actually will explode yeah
i'm holding still you never gotta gas me up yep I'm chilling man
that's what I like about you
weather the waves
that's why I've done Hollywood Handbook
more than I have done
bananas
any other show
we don't have to make this about the bananas
boys anymore
we could talk about the bananas boys more anymore. Actually, any other show.
We could talk about the Bananas Boys more.
It's almost demented how many times I've been on this show,
to be honest, by now.
It's sick.
No, they're calling a doctor for you.
Yep.
Oscar, have you done I Said No Gifts?
I have done that, yeah. It's different, boy.
How do you get booked on that?
We were promised that... How do you get booked on that? We were promised that...
How do you get booked on that?
That guest spot was secured and then...
He swore.
Whoa.
He swore.
When he came on here, he said like, and then you guys will go on mine.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Which will definitely happen.
So what happened?
Was it like a normal, he emailed you or something?
Yeah.
You know what? I'll put in a good word he emailed you or something? Yeah. You know what?
I'll put in a good word. It worked like that.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
That would, I mean, that's not why I was asking, but let me know what he says.
Yeah.
I'll say, Hey, so I was on the Hollywood handbook for the fourth time.
Again, fourth time.
My favorite podcast to be on, obviously.
Which you've only had me once i said no gifts
uh mr winneger right and so and then i'll bring you two up i'll that'll be more gentle right i
start with me and then i'll go hey so what about that haze and sean and kevin coming on i said no
kevin absolutely does not need i. I mean, I'm available.
Might as well.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Okay, I'll take it back.
I'll say, hey, you know, scratch Kevin.
How about that Hayes and Sean on your show?
You know, they can bring a nice gift for you.
And they're fun.
I love those boys.
Yeah.
How's that email sound?
Wow, and you're saying that about us to him?
What do you think he'll say?
Well, best case scenario, he'll say,
hey, I love those boys.
I'm writing them right now.
I just have a feeling this is going to end with the bananas guys going on there doesn't it feel that
way the confusion i can see it already like it's like we're so powerfully associated with them now
especially by you i just i just can see it happening now and i just i'm forced to watch
with my eyelids pried open yeah knowing. Well, the bananas boys do.
I said no gifts.
Knowing me, I would get so nervous writing that email,
I would write down the wrong names, you know?
It's last minute send.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Did I put Kurt and Scotty or was it Hayes and Sean?
I can't remember now.
It is going to be me.
Remember, we're like the same guys.
Yes, that's right.
Kurt.
So I can't think of Kurt. I've never had that problem. We're like the same guys. Yes, that's right.
I've never had that problem.
Someone mistaking me for someone else
of my descent.
That's your brand.
Your brand is very
unique. That's very sweet.
Yeah. And it's
been memorialized
in
the content
Smithfonian
which is
HBO Max
and HBO
and HBO
don't just stick it to
HBO Max
but they don't like
they want
they probably want you to want like they want they probably
want you to like act like HBO Max is
not something that needs to be like corrected
that like also on HBO
you know what I mean they probably want
like it's all
one big family
you know or it's even
better is probably what they want
because they made you're basically
Westworld now you got basically Westworld now.
You got the Westworld slot.
Uh-huh.
That's what happened, yeah.
And now that White Lotus finished its finale.
They're going to cut that as well.
They're going to take it off the streaming platform.
They're taking it off because they ran out of gigs.
Free up the data, yeah.
They said, yeah, that one hour, one hour of stand-up comedy will fill up all these slots.
It's giving Westworld.
Thank you.
And it is sort of a mind-bending hour of comedy, isn't it?
Yeah.
I never thought of it that way.
isn't it?
Yeah, I never thought of it that way.
There is a little sci-fi
Wes, I've only seen one episode.
There's a little sci-fi

person or not energy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cowboy robot.
Love.

Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science-backed language learning app that actually works.
Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. And the question that I always get, people stop me and they say like, hey, I trust you.
I know when you endorse a product, it's something that you really use and care about.
But there's one language that I'm trying to learn, and that's body language.
Can Babbel teach me body language?
Yes.
yes babble now has visual in-person lessons part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language
in as little as three weeks babble is designed by real people for real conversations and that
includes body-based conversations what does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date
and they turn around at the door and they take their little index finger
and they kind of like draw it towards them?
They're pulling it.
What does that mean?
Does their finger hurt?
I wonder if they spotted a spider web or something.
They're trying to pull down the spider
down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need and have needed something
like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks
like a it looks like an emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've got like
almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle and as
i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost
and they're really aggressively pushing it out.
I'm like, am I supposed to pull over and get out of the car?
Yes, or just do it out the window as I'm going.
That's what I've been doing.
That seems dangerous.
But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me
and many listeners, I'm sure.
Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible,
rooted in real life
situations at which i have all the time and delivered with conversation-based teaching so
you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world studies from yale michigan state
university and others can't feel good to be others. Continue to prove Babbel is better. One study found that using Babbel for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester at college.

Hey, guys.
Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions,
monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills.
You can see all your subscriptions in one place,
and if I see something I don't want, I can cancel it with a tap.
I never have to get on the phone with customer service.
The subscriptions are insidious.
They're the scourge of our modern life.
And you never realize what you're subscribing to or that you're still being charged.
I know that I was about 19 dresses into receiving each one of the 27 dresses from the movie 27 dresses
before i found out how much it was costing yes that they intended to send me by the way you'll
this will shock you 54 dresses if i did not cancel and i you know oh that one's got an end point by
like dress 14 15 i think it starts to become clear like these
aren't the dresses oh no they were not from the movie they didn't resemble anything from the movie
they were not they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear yeah and one of them
was a dressing yeah one of them was it was it was a vina them was a... It was a vinaigrette.
It was a raspberry vinaigrette.
It was a French raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
They'll even try to get you a refund
for the last couple months of wasted money
and negotiate to lower your bills for you
by up to 20%.
All you have to do is take a picture of your bill
and Rocket Money takes care of the rest.
They have over 5 million users and have helped save its members an average of 720 dollars a year
with over 500 million dollars in canceled subscriptions and that was i mean just to be
fully transparent that 500 million was most of that was the the dresses well yeah i mean you're
talking about hollywood memorabilia
you're talking about like ornate gowns you know in some cases and so that was uh
yeah that was costing me a lot a lot a lot stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your
unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash the boys that's rocket money.com slash the boys rocket money.com slash the boys
like we said we don't have a ton of time no we're almost done i don't want to cut you out but we
have a lot of stuff that we gotta that we have to um take care of um this is really exciting, actually, for you. And I'm capable of being excited about it as well.
So we, in kind of, like, as we were booking this,
we were having other conversations with other platforms
and, like, kind of trying to, how can we, like, scale this,
what we're doing with otsco
and we managed to book you on late night uh kevin help me all the shows every late night show
jimmy both jimmy prime jimmy jimmy james jimmy jimmy james hey wouldn't you say james is it jimmy both jimmy prime jimmy jimmy james jimmy jimmy james hey wouldn't you say james is a jimmy
too so when i so you don't even know which one i'm talking about when i say jimmy i'm talking
about james and when i say james i'm talking about one of the jimmy's james fallon jimmy kimmel yes that's right jimmy corden yes steven seth they're all going to
welcome you uh it wasn't easy to book them all in the same week but we want the special to succeed
because it is special and you know we had to do a little bit of negotiating some fancy footwork
it'll be good for the show i
think too selfishly for our show because obviously we'll be releasing an episode with a guest who's
just done every late night show um we had to make some promises uh you're doing trevor's last show
i just wanted it'll be booking and i know he said that he just
did it but he's gonna come back and do one more he's gonna come back and go it's for an encore
basically and the studio audience of the daily show has been holding up their lighters since
that last one and then he comes back out they're gonna go nuts and you'll be the actual like
you know you're coming you're you're coming back out to play hey jude basically
yeah we're we're uh oh you thought we weren't gonna do this one no we're gonna have odds going
on so so i i think it's really cool we made a guarantee essentially um sure which if not
fulfilled we are heavily financially liable um that your
appearance will be the most watched episode of each of these programs that have been
oh recorded by a lot by quite a lot the number the because of what because an astronomical number
yeah wow because of what you've because what you have planned is so earth-shaking
that everyone will be forced to tune in.
And if they aren't watching at the beginning of the episode,
by the end of the episode, they will be watching
because of what you are doing.
And so we don't know exactly what you have planned for the talk shows.
You're catching up to it just as we are.
But we should figure out something
pretty good yeah yeah either way this is great news thank you i don't know how to thank you it's
whatever you know it's good for us too it's good for us too you know and it's pretty whatever on
our end yeah i love that about you guys it It's just like, hey, no problem.
Just, you know, froze earth and time,
making sure you shine.
So nice.
So great. But that's our vibe is like, you know,
I'd love to see us succeed.
I'd rather see my friends succeed. And that is and that is that's what feels really good
yeah especially knowing i had some small part in it in this case a huge part because we we
booked you on every single late night show and we've made uh you know we've made some promises
uh whose fulfillment um is crucial or it will be devastating to both of our
lives yeah i didn't even know that was possible so is it like in the all in the same day i'm doing
them back to back jimmy jimmy corden james uh we're gonna simulcast we're gonna simulcast uh
two of the shows was it steven and james who agreed to simulcast even of the shows. Was it Stephen and James?
Stephen and Jimmy.
Stephen and Jimmy and then Seth and James.
Yeah. And Jimmy requested individual.
Alone.
Okay.
Trevor will be after.
Alone.
Right.
Alone.
Wow.
Totally alone.
Guys, I promise to deliver something huge well you have yes well
we promised that so now let's figure out what it is and we need a little more than just like
something huge like we can't just say that we did just say that but now we really need to show up
it does have to be that but um we just need a little more about what it is actually going to be. What do you think you might do that could help us?
They've done some pretty huge episodes.
Jon Stewart played the drums on Colbert just this past week.
Dang.
And that I don't even think was their most watched show of all time by far.
And so it's just an example.
And we booked you on John as well.
So we have to beat
the episode.
The problem.
We have to beat
the episode where Trevor left.
I mean,
because that was really watched too,
you know.
Right.
So we have to be like.
Well,
that one's actually like
probably easier to beat
because it is like a,
like an encore finale.
That one,
I actually don't think you have to do maybe
anything because like by the time it's over and people will have heard you're doing that one last
people will have heard about what you did on these other ones right yeah and it'll be it'll be very
impactful um you know when i think about ahead. Just legendary, famous talk show appearances that have been much discussed.
Um, of course, I immediately think of the Joker movie.
Mm.
Uh, I don't, I don't believe, and I just want to say this for legal reasons,
that you should kill any of the hosts of the shows live on air.
I don't think that's a good idea.
That's what the Joker did, and people seem to enjoy it.
Did you see that?
Did you see that, the Joker movie?
I didn't see it.
No, I haven't seen that.
It is exactly like your comedic taste. I can't believe you didn't see it it is so your thing
yes like yes okay i turned to haze during the movie and said
ozco has to see this she has to see it right now she has to see this but no way yeah what i did think i will put it on
if i could just um i see roku city back there you have a portal to roku city right
oh after we get off this and after i do the thing i put on this hot dog necklace you got a one way
one way ticket to roku city oh i'm yeah i'm not coming back i'm turning on the joker and the one where
he's like going down the stairs or something that one yes okay yeah the chiming of the bells
that were the most powerful moments in cinematic history um here's my idea hear me out and kevin
let me know contractually if this would fulfill our obligation. Okay.
I don't think you should do what the Joker did.
Right? You don't want to.
I mean, I was open for suggestions.
I feel like...
Turn the city on its head.
It was quite a wake-up call for the people in the movie.
Yeah, I'm just saying don't doubt yourself.
I was still listening when you...
What I believe could be a compromise is if you were to wear a suit that was essentially a giant projector screen and we could transmit the Joker film on to you during your talk show appearance. And you'd have to talk kind of quiet so people could hear the movie yes and in that case even if no one watched what i'm thinking
is so many people saw that movie we could say well this is what happened on your show is still
the most watched thing that has ever been on your
show yeah do you know what i mean yeah that oh that that's art yeah so yeah i'm thinking like
most of the movie though like if we can show as much of them i'd like to i'd like to show the
entire movie on every show awesome okay because i i'm always afraid to ask for everything
i'm so glad you're here to be like no the whole thing i was down with like here's the deal three
quarters of the movie yeah listen up show's wearing it yeah yeah and you know
but that's just the first idea if other people have other ideas let's talk about it
yeah i mean because it's also sort of a technicality and i could see us getting
tied up in court for a while. Sure.
Did you know, I'm glad to see that you kind of approach this the same way I do.
Some people will take the people of Roku City's sun away.
They will turn off their sun,
leave them in complete darkness.
Yeah.
Or even sometimes switch out to like something else instead of
just like letting them just like live peacefully and not having like you know of course dinosaurs
are attacking them already oh yeah i that's why i have it on right now baby it's so much
tougher to see the dinosaur if they don't have their son.
You have to leave it on.
It's true.
It's kind of why I leave it on now.
It's why it's on at 1 p.m.
I just kind of let them live.
And at night I go, hey, thanks for the day.
Thanks for a great day.
Get your rest.
Yeah, thanks for the day. Great work, great day. Get your rest. Yeah. Thanks for a great day.
Great work, everybody.
Yeah.
I love what you're doing.
Get some sleep because we're going to hit it hard first thing in the morning.
Yes, but now I'm watching the Joker, baby, and they understand.
You may not need to watch it now.
You're going to be showing it to everyone.
So you're going to be watching it, I guess, sort of like this,
like looking down at your own abdomen.
But you're going to have to see it four or five times over the next week.
That's really exciting, honestly.
If we do that idea, if we do that idea,
and there are rights issues
there are some trademark things that make it complicated
Hayes did you
thought of anything
I'm thinking event the word event
is just like
circle I'm just like event
event event
major television event
yep
yep
live the Joker movie live Television event. Major television event. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Live.
The Joker movie.
Live.
The Joker movie live. The Joker movie live.
Like, you remember NBC was...
One person.
One person show.
You remember when NBC captured the hearts of America by doing...
Yes.
Yes.
Live.
So many different things. Yes. Yes. Live. So many different things.
So many lives.
And it was quite powerful.
And it united a nation that needed some healing at that time.
You know, it's hard to remember now that just a few short years ago,
there were some problems
in this country.
Problems that only
a live performance could fix.
But a live Joker musical
inspired by the film.
Oh, I mean, a stage, yes,
but I think we'll have access
to the entire backlot.
Yes, so it is. it's multi-stage we're trapped because like the camera is the proscenium and so where like that is you can
travel between stages and it's when the j the Joker's driving around in his little...
Buggy or whatever.
His nefarious buggy.
Oh, yeah.
I like this.
A dune buggy with a big spoiler.
I have two questions.
He's got a little dog next to him.
What's your history?
Do you have like history
in in live performance yeah oh yeah i mean like not and not like stand up and stuff i mean like
like like actual chops like yeah could i play the joker could i play singing can you pull off joker
do we need to bring in someone else for joker And you might be Joker's friend who's like this.
Yeah, yeah, chorus girl.
Just to be safe.
Oh, yeah.
When it comes to theater, I've mostly been chorus girl.
But guys, I mean, this gift that you guys got me,
like I promise I'll work my butt off.
I'll work my butt off to be the best Joker.
I love this.
That an Otsuko Okatsuka can be.
Oh, Otsuko, I just booked you on a new late night show.

all those people to make sure this worked. Some of them have longer contracts
so they're not
fired but they have different jobs now
where they make snacks
and stuff for Lauren.
It's like Bo and Yang

She's never done the show.
I'll email her too.
She says Sarah Squirm died
again.
Well,
go ahead and hit her up.
Can you read that email, Kevin?
And maybe we can get some pointers from
Hey, Sarah.
Let's go at a pretty good pitch
for the Bridger email.
Yeah.
Saying that she loved us.
Yeah.
To start off.
Yeah.
Let's see what this one says.
Haha.
Yo.
Love the show this week, dude.
Just checking in about doing the podcast again.
It's chill if not, but we need this.
Oh, yeah.
But you don't say that you love the boys.
Like, you love these boys.
Yeah, I love these. i feel like that's what's
first and foremost yeah i'm not i'm not hyping you guys up it should have been ha ha yo first
and foremost i love these boys and then yeah name them and then you know the not the banana boys Not the Banana Boys. Maybe she's thinking I'm talking about Banana Boys.
Maybe it's like Ha Ha Yo.

This is how it should start.
Ha Ha Yo.
Ha Ha Yo.
I love the show this week

Hollywood Handbook.
Still
awesome. Still awesome. whatever as for me i've been producing hollywood handbook still still awesome still awesome yeah
still awesome freaking love the shit out of those boys you know what you actually you should do
hollywood handbook like we talked about but then it sounds like maybe he wants her to take over
producing it oh yeah that'd
be cool because he's going because he's going that's what i'm doing then he goes you know what
actually you should do it what if that'd be incredible but what if to make it less like
sound less like you know oh i need this right just be like yeah a little desperate huh tell
tell her about like others you know just and then just be like oh come to think of it would you want to be a guest
like have it be more like you're writing an email about something else and then suddenly you're like
whoa weird since i'm already writing you dude kevin send that no this is great so send an email
and just be like hey my neighbor lost their dog have you seen this dog then put a photo of a crazy looking dog
so you know she's gonna read the rest of the email it could be like just like a creature from a movie
or something yeah it could be it could be like one of the ghoulies hey and then yeah that's cool
it could even it could even still start with ha ha yo yeah ha ha yo or i was thinking maybe yo ho ho oh that's holiday season that's that's
perfect very toy sean so it's like my neighbor lost their damn dog this dumb ass left their
door open captain dumb ass left their door open yeah i love that little sucker. Have you seen it anywhere?
And then picture of a dog.
One of the ghoulies.

Then say, oh, shit. Actually, you know what you know it'd be chill af yep you should
guest on this show that i know about maybe leave it at that yeah subjects 911 emergency yeah yeah and sign off so we that's good wow and it's in gray so you know that that's like
part of his email signature yep just like so i i was loving the your commitment to despite.
It sounds like not really having any experience in musical theater,
trying really hard.
I am concerned that it's not going to be enough to bring in the or like
the biggest audience.
Any of the shows have ever had.
Yeah,
bigger than how about this?
How about we split the difference between you killing
i think you've like the biggest episodes ever you killing the host is one probably second
biggest ever is crispin glover kicking david letterman and so maybe in this like you
kick them so hard you kill them i think you are actually gonna have to know that kill them
i whoa it feels like we're if we go halfway it's not hey what do you guys think of okay this is
completely different me yeah you know a live surgery surgery save them save them yeah i saved them i feel good killing them i feel bad
yes yeah it's like hey you know any ailments or we find out about the ailments first and then we go
we're gonna or we poison them what if we poison them and then you come out live with the antidote
on stage yeah and then you can do just like your stand-up or whatever but
there's so much tension while they're healing i go into my latest five minute set so i would say
before you administer the the serum oh yeah you're saying you go this this this man only has five
minutes left to live right i'm i'm going to do a tight five right now and then give him the medication that
he needs yes and then as you are doing and i go you know what my husband right and it's like hey
please don't laugh because it's not fun that's going to extend this thing and this man will die
oh this is perfect so i bring in a rattlesnake, right? And I accidentally let it hit Jimmy or James.
I mean, all of them, I guess.
Sam B.
All of them.
And a couple times we are simulcasting them,
so it is going to have to hit Seth and James.
Snake's got to be pretty long.
Snake's got to be really long.
Long snake. What did you call the hot dog earlier
stretch stretch a stretch of snake and it's gonna bite i'm gonna act surprised oh no what
what is this oh i have an antidote and it's in my pocket and i i administer it and i go
guys so i've been thinking i need me and my husband are going to get a tandem bike.
That's the beginning of my set.
Yes, yes, yes.
And because if I'm exercising, he's exercising.
And so, you know, obviously I'm not going to do the whole set here.
But and no, no, save it for the show appearance.
Yeah.
and no no save it for the show appearance yeah as they heal i do my type five and then i'll turn around and see if it worked if it needs more time then we bring in the projector dress
new snake oh yeah yes sorry which then i put on and And I go, hey, Sean, hit it.
And boom, lights out.
I love that my name is on the show.
That's huge for me.
Hey, boys, I couldn't have done this without you.
And so the lights.
Hey, banana boys.
Yeah.
That's what I'll say.
Hit it.
Hit it, Hollywood boys.
Everyone will be like, whoa whoa who are those guys the lights will go out projection on me right what's happening we're watching the joker live
you're projecting the movie the joker movie onto the faces of the audience
oh now that's different i didn't even think about that
well you're facing you're gonna be facing them if you're you know right that and also i mean you
gotta go do banana i mean it works much better because like the their numbers are going up
during the show instead of like when you kill one of the hosts, if you just like kill them,
then they're just going to cut the feed.
Some people will turn it off when the feed.
Yeah.
Some people will turn it off.
And by the time anyone who would want to like try and watch the feed would
be cut,
but that's why the five minutes of someone not even poisoned.
Yeah.
We actually have time for people to tune in.
Okay.
Well,
you got to go. Yeah. Sean and I sean and i are gonna like said hi you know we're gonna stay on and like hammer out the details on this but like
yeah if you could please say hi to scotty and bridger and sarah thank you yes much love thank Much love. Thank you. I'll put in a good word. Yeah. Sweet.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Awesome.
I had a big pitch I didn't get to give,
so I guess I'll give it to you guys now. I'm really scared that this better be good
because I am really feeling like this is not going to work at all.
The whole time I was just like...
I was wondering...
It was cool.
She was agreeing to a lot of it,
but I was like,
this idea is terrible. I was thinking she like it was cool. She was agreeing to a lot of it, but I was like, this idea is terrible.
Like I was thinking she'd have some ideas.
Not,
not wait till you hear this one.
Okay.
Biggest episode of late night in history,
Tom Cruise and Jimmy on the plane.
And Tom goes,
Jimmy,
we're going,
we're going skydiving.
You're jumping out of this plane.
Remember Top Gun Maverick?
He brought Corden on a plane and said, you're jumping out of this piece.
Okay.
Watched by billions.
And Corden said, you watch.
Wait, that was watched by billions creator Brian Koppelman.
He watched it.
And a lot of other people did, too.
We follow up
oscar does the same thing cordon get in that piece we're going we're skydiving again
this time she takes the shoot from him she holds the key to the the the shoot release
mm-hmm okay or maybe her maybe hers i don't need a shoot and shoots him or you're thinking of
parachute parachute yeah sorry i should have clarified that no that's fine she could shoot
the parachute no he should say in the air he should say where's my shoe and she says right here yeah she shoots him and then saves him it's a mid-air murder there's no way to even
prosecute it that there's no jurisdiction there's no anything goes in the air yeah yeah well no yeah
it's there's no like sky pd like that doesn't exist yeah that's where i do all my business
um it'd be the world's fastest and highest murder well she still should pull the chute
yes yeah go i don't i don't want gravity to kill you i want you to know it was me
so that's pretty good or when she pulls the chute,
she goes, oops, that one has my lunch.
And like an apple and like a carton of milk
fly out.
That's good.
It still somehow operates.
It's still open by pulling a ripcord,
but it's when you want to fire your lunch at yourself.
She commits murder.
She says this is for that waiter or something.
And then that'll just like really get people talking where they'll be like, wow, I really
don't think that was an appropriate reaction.
And then we got her on the ground and she goes, kind of looks like an egg yolk omelet.
And so when people are like, that really was not okay to do no that was so extreme
like everyone had bad days then we'll be that but then we'll be like okay so your response was okay
okay so the way you responded to that that was appropriate i agree this is somewhat
disproportionate i think this is extreme but I also think your reaction was equally extreme,
which is you did nothing to protect our service workers.
And when the most vulnerable members of society
are not taken care of,
that society has failed.
So effectively, you did this because you put it you put it all on hot's go to take action
yeah we can we can go that angle where people didn't do enough or what what what they all did
by being so mean about it to jimmy was actually worse and be like this man i can't have committed murder
this man is already dead by your hand well and that did to his reputation and that otsko has
become like waiter pilled or whatever because the online extremists were bullying Jimmy so hard that she thought she was standing up for her fellow man by doing this.
And it's like you have been radicalized by the online extremists.
Yes.
And you have convinced people that this is an appropriate reaction.
And maybe you should realize that what you say on the Internet actually does have an impact on people are reading that.
And some of us are pretty vulnerable to internalizing these ideas.
Here's here's my and here's the kicker that happens.
All will all will all will be revealed in part two.
What?
That was the most watched episode of Corden. I what that was the most watched episode of cordon i thought that was the
end oh actually the next day which now has even more eyes yeah surgery saves him this was all a
learning experience or at least we can try she tries i don't know waiting that long to do surgery like just with the when they film it
and air it if you're going if you're gonna wait 24 hours to perform the surgery
it might be a challenge but we definitely can promise to try like at the very if i were doing
surgery on yes on someone who had fallen out of a plane and possibly been
shot in midair.
I would at least want to begin the surgery
as soon
as possible
like schedules permitting.
Yeah.
Maybe they
can bump his slot up a little bit.
Maybe it's a two part
episode. They do it early right that's right
kevin can you just update her can you just email her just like updating her and that can we just
hear should i cc sarah just so she's there just so she kind of knows that like we're actually
doing great we're actually doing we're actually doing really good. Like pretty established comedians, yeah.
Okay, so what are you writing?

Do you have your pilot's license?
I guess it won't matter, but it will help us this is too like we just need to
keep her just say exactly what's gonna happen yeah i yeah i think it's gonna be there's such
a thing as too many questions you're scaring her off yeah and don't say it doesn't matter just go like yeah just like blow the dust off that pilot's license yeah we're going airborne
and now just say in like very clear language what it what is going to happen you need to
jump out of a plane with jimmy when he asks where his shoot is is yeah where's my chute
you say
here and pull
out a gun
I'm gonna put G asterisk N
that's nice

and you should say and before that write
trigger warning trigger
trigger warning colon trigger
you need to jump out of a plane with jimmy when he asks where his shoot is you say here
and pull out a g asterix n shoot the clown don't say shoot the clown because it seems to
where we're using the word shoot a lot yes it feels too casual just say do what needs to be done
like do what's necessary yes do what's necessary trigger warning trigger you need to jump out of
a plane with jimmy when he asks where his shoot is you say here and pull out the g asterix and
do what's necessary loved Loved the special.
Then say this is for that waiter or something.
