Starting point is 00:02:31 Hold on, I got to do this. We added a second show, so I guess we are the Reader Boston Cell Ticks. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Alvaro Mendez from Panama. He did yesterday's too. Thank you. Are you here?
Starting point is 00:03:17 Don't lie to me about being Alvaro Mendes from Panama. Hello, everyone. Welcome. It's such a pleasure to be here at the Wilbur, a theater named after some guy, I guess. Anyone know who he is, Wilbur? I'm hearing horse. Beautiful theater. I've dreamed of playing this my entire life. How the fuck what I know about this place? But it is great.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Wonderful people backstage. Thank you very much to the staff here. It's been a pleasure to be here for two nights in a row. This was the show that sold out the day we announced it, and so you guys are amazing. Appreciate that. My name is Scott Augerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang,
Starting point is 00:04:24 and we have a great show. Coming up a little later, we have... Oh, entrepreneurs are back. I believe we have a lawyer. We have a woman. And someone who works in finance, apparently. A wonderful show. And it's a packed show as well.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I want to make sure you see all these stools up here. I want to make sure that we get to everybody. So we're going to move right on into a lot of people's favorite feature on this show, which is, of course, the world-famous balcony report. Now, if you were not here last night, there's an exciting new addition to the balcony report. And we all know the balcony report. It's the most exciting 15 seconds in podcasting. It's where I count the number of balconies in...
Starting point is 00:05:24 in each venue that we perform in. Seems simple? Not on your life. For me. Now the new wrinkle is we will be tallying the balconies as we go and counting up the sum total of all balconies by the end of the tour.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And Boston, you're the first city. So this is going to be anticlimactic. And we already counted them last night. But still, hold on to your dicks. Because here it comes. Boston,
Starting point is 00:06:08 Massachusetts. Did I pronounce that correctly? It's a tough one at the end for a guy like me. The Wilbur Theater has two balconies. Now, please don't be like the person last night who shouted,
Starting point is 00:06:32 One's a mezzanine. Don't be that person. Now, to date, on the entire tour, we have performed to two balconies. I told you. not good. He'll get really exciting by the end, though. Man, I cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Well, guys, we have a great show for you. Why are we even bothering listening to this bullshit? Does everyone know what's going to happen, by the way? Has anyone never heard Comedy Bang Bang before? I feel like you're lying. So I'm just going to move on. Everyone knows what it is. We have a great show.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Let me introduce our co-host for the evening. He is a comedian of note, famous Greek comedian. He has his own show at the right here at the Wilbur on Sunday. Please welcome Jason Manzukas. Yes! Let's go!
Starting point is 00:07:42 Ha ha! Here we go, Boston. Here we go. What's up, jerks! That's right. That's right. Oh, hey. I'm already exhausted.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It's hard. It gets harder and harder. The older we get. I'm winded. Yeah. Wow, wow, wow. Look at this. Are you going to have any energy for your own show on Sunday?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Nope. By the way, how did this get made? Sunday night. Bring your father. It's Father's Day. There are still seats left Now discounted Did I do a good job selling the show?
Starting point is 00:08:30 You did a great job Will you pledge that all fathers get in free? Oh yeah All you have to do is say Daddy's here At the door and you're in for free God damn it I know a bunch of people are going to show up Sunday I ain't going
Starting point is 00:08:44 Daddy's here A bunch of creeps, a bunch of Boston creeps. Oh, my God. Daddy's here. Uh-oh, daddy's here. Daddy's here. Knock, knock.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh. Ew. This is the show. This is the show. We count balconies and say, oh.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Oh, man, you got two balconies here, right? It's pretty exciting, isn't it? It's fucking huge, because last night, there was also two spoilers. Out of curiosity, how many people came to both shows? Fucking idiots. We're doing a recreation of last night show. Word for word. Yeah, last night is the template.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah, and we studied all night. We're off book, obviously. Yes, we are the show off book. Yes. I'm Jess. You're Zach. I would rather be off book sometimes. You would?
Starting point is 00:09:45 Yes. You were backstage being like, Why can't we just be off book? Why are we stuck in some horse theater? Complaining backstage so much about this horse theater. I was confused. I thought you were saying whores theater. This whores theater?
Starting point is 00:10:04 How dare you? It's a nice place. Why would you say that about? Oh, this horse theater? Sorry, oh, this horse theater? Jason, you're from these parts. a lot of great Bostonians, you, Casey Affleck. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Number one, number two, baby. He's back. Just saw him in a trailer. Really? He's back, Fleck? He's back, baby. Okay, all right. Yeah, it's me and him. I'm from Nahant, North Shore. That's right.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Connected by a long causeway to Lynn, the city of sin. You never come out. The way you went in. People from Lynn in the house? Go make gloves Oddly specific insult Yeah, but it got a laugh These fucking idiots know That's where we made gloves
Starting point is 00:10:58 This country used to make things Like gloves Then they burn the factories to the ground This is a serious question Yep Why don't shirts and jackets Come with gloves already? Okay, now this is interesting
Starting point is 00:11:13 Like, why did we cut it off here? First of all, I'm going to say shirts and jackets don't come together. It's an interesting point. So you're saying independently, each of them should have its own gloves? So a shirt's gloves and jackets gloves? Yeah. What kind of marketing genius said we're not going to include the glove as part of the jacket? It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Well, it does if you want to increase sales. Of gloves? Yeah. You attach the gloves. boom, that person's got gloves. So why isn't everything all a cart on a jacket? Like, elbows down, that's... What?
Starting point is 00:11:54 You think jackets should come without... Elbows should be optional? Sure. Like, you could get a short-sleeve jacket. Okay. But you could then pay to have it elongated. Oh, I see. So everything...
Starting point is 00:12:07 I see. Everything's all a card on my head. Why not just any sleeve length optional? Sure. Maybe it's a tank jacket. Yeah. Maybe it's a vest. Every jacket starts a vest
Starting point is 00:12:16 and then somebody slaps arms on it with elbows. Yeah. You could do like an Encino man, you know. I don't. Okay. Explain it, please. Haven't covered that on your dumb show?
Starting point is 00:12:29 Wow! How dare you? Sunday night tickets available. We're playing two nights at the Wilbur. You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. And you're telling me, you sold out. What do you think you're better than us?
Starting point is 00:12:46 I'll fucking fight you. Yeah. What do you think of that Goodwill hunting guy? Weird guy, right? Oh, weird guy, Will hunting himself? Yeah. What do you think of them apples? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 What a piece of shit. Strange, yeah. Strange guy, right? I'll fucking kick that dude's ass. Will hunting. Yeah, Will hunting. He's all nerdy, like, in the brain, but then he takes off his shirt and he's like fucking yoked.
Starting point is 00:13:11 What's his dad? Jacked. Jacked with a brain? Does he, like, study while he's lifting weights, or what's going on with this guy? Yeah, I think so. I think that's exactly it. I think it's just he's studying while he's just getting jacked. You ever have the temptation to get as jacked as will hunting? Wow. This is the show that we'll go there.
Starting point is 00:13:36 You're the kind of host that's not afraid to ask the hard questions. I ain't afraid, baby. You know what? I would love to. to get jacked. As everybody describes it, will hunting level jacked. You know,
Starting point is 00:13:48 that's what everybody in Hollywood's doing. All these Marvel stars, they're just getting will hunting level jacked. Kumail went to Marvel, said, give me the wheel hunting. I'm hunting for a good role, wink, wink, you know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Get me jacked. I'd love to get jacked. Off. I apologize for that, sir. That's his horse. theater. Feels like it's something out of the 1800s
Starting point is 00:14:17 like, you know, Penny dreadful novels or something, jacked off at the horse theater. Jacked off. But then, like, it turns out it's jacked off at the horse theater. Yeah. And it's like a much different book
Starting point is 00:14:28 that's probably illegal to even own. Have you ever touched a horse, horses penis? A horse? A horse? A horse horse. A horse horse is penis.
Starting point is 00:14:39 A horse horse horse is penis? These are my vocal warmups. okay? I know, I just heard them backstage. Have you ever touched a horse's penis? Have you ever touched a horse horse's penis? Absolutely the title of the episode. A little bug flying around.
Starting point is 00:14:57 What's that? A little bug flying around. They can't see it, only we can. If you comment on it, now they know there's a bug flying around. It's a classy fucking horse theater. You think they would get rid of the bugs? This place is rancid.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It smells so bad. All right. It's full of rotten meat. I'm having fun. Yeah. Except for the mezzanine. Yeah. I wouldn't sit in the mezzanine
Starting point is 00:15:23 if you fucking paid me. Oh. Fuck you. Get bent, mezzanine. Get bent. I'm talking to the balcony. Now, those are my people. Just pissing through the seat.
Starting point is 00:15:42 right on to the mezzanine. Ooh, my heavens. They're licking it up now. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Like when it rains in a movie, when somebody's been, like, walking through the desert, and they're like, I'll take whatever I can get. That's you, mezzanine.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I honestly think if it ever rains in a movie, they should have one character at least go, yum, yum, yum. Even if it's a background, even if it's like a very intense emotional scene. Sure. Someone's crying over a corpse. You know, somebody's like,
Starting point is 00:16:33 yum yum yum, yum, yum. Just to make it realistic. Yeah. Because that's every time it rains, everybody's doing that. Yum, yum, yum, yeah. Everybody's like, free. fucking skywater, give it to me.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Yes. When you go out to a side, I guess, after the show. When I go out to a side? Nope. That's a wrap. Thank you. Black it out. The show's over. When you go out to a side, what? You're cooked, pal.
Starting point is 00:17:01 It's over. R. I be a legend. The show is mine. Three of us on this tour, our hotel room alarms went off at 6 a.m. The housekeeping did not turn them off. That's brutal. And then we all got back to sleep
Starting point is 00:17:30 and the fire alarm went off at 10 a.m. That's unfortunate. Yes, it is. It's like those poor souls in The Little Mermaid. Go on. I don't know what you mean. You've never seen The Little Mermaid? If I did, it was like back when it came out.
Starting point is 00:17:46 What, do you just watch Big Mermaids? I would love to. Share, the rest. Christina Ricci. She's a mermaid. Ritchie. One of our best Italians. One of the best.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Why wasn't she and Mario Brothers? She should have been. She could have been Luigi or... I would love it. Wario, maybe? Sure. Yeah. anything else jason i feel like the prop here if this opening segment is is not good it's because we're

Starting point is 00:19:18 You ruined it. Jason Manzukas, everyone. Jason Manzukas. Boo. Owee. Aye, aye, aye. We have a very special guest. Terrific.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Bean Town Legend. Home town hero. Home town hero. He's a stand-up comedian. a wonderful person, and I believe he's on a show called Bob's Burgers. Please welcome Eugene Merman. Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Hi. Hello, Eugene. Hello. Hey. We're right here? Yeah. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Well chosen. Yes. This feels very normal. Hi. Hi, Eugene. It's pleasure to have you on the show. Pleasure to be here. I've been a big fan of your stand-of-cath...
Starting point is 00:20:21 Wouldn't it be weird if I was a fan of you just as a person and not as a stand-up? You're like, I love you. Hey, that wouldn't be that weird. Be like, I love you. Your comedy? I love you as a human being. Yeah, your kindness is boundless.
Starting point is 00:20:36 But I feel like I've been seeing you for... Are you in your third? decade performing at this point or I think I might be. Wow, wow. But only because I started at like 18. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, but yes, I'm old.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So is most of the people in this goddamn audience. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let's be honest. Most of this audience has a babysitter tonight. Yeah. Yes. Share if you're paying for health care tonight. Kid care. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah. Yeah. The first concert was Duran Duran at Greatwoods. What was your first concert? It was Guns and Roses opening for Aerosmith. Wow. At Great Woods. Incredible. We were walking down the street today.
Starting point is 00:21:27 We went out to breakfast and we were just like, I wonder if Aerosmith has walked these streets as a group. Together? They're still there. Really? Yeah, they often busk at the common. Right by the ducklings. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:43 It's the little dream on. People throw $1,000 bills. It's a wealthy town. So you count that as... Who was it opening? Guns and roses. It was the opening act. So you headline guns and roses when you tell the story.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Like, I went to see Guns and Roses. No, I just... That was the order of the band's opening for Aerosmith. That's the proper way to tell this story. Chronologically? They... Yeah, people were like, I saw, yeah, you're like, I wish I could think of a band that was unpopular and then say Elton John.
Starting point is 00:22:18 But, yeah, they were, at the time, they were very... You can't think of anyone less popular than Elton John? I can't, I can't. That's the level of musical artists, you know? Roxy Music? Brian Ferry's Roxy Music? Opening for Elth and John? I'd love to see that.
Starting point is 00:22:34 It would be great. That would be a good show. Yeah, I don't know how to tell the story. That's the story. But, yeah, I saw them to... But Guns-Rosley played for 45 minutes. And they started, I think, on time because they were opening.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Right. But they did a great job. Did you... They welcomed everyone to a jungle. They told us we were going to die. It was very nice. Did anyone know who they were at that point, or... I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I think, like, they were... Yes, they were starting to be big. Time to switch. Switch seats. Oh, yeah, yeah. By the end of the tour, they were very popular, but Permanent Vacation was also a popular album at the time. Who was?
Starting point is 00:23:17 I love it. The tedious entertainment news of 1988. Pretty good. I like it. What was your first show? Oingo Boingo. Oh, of course it was. Of course it was.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I'm sure these people were tortured by a playlist prior to the show that featured quite a bit of Oingo Boingo. And if I'm not mistaken, probably. some crowded house. Love them both. Crouted House has a new album out. Just came out last week. Oh, God bless Tim Finn.
Starting point is 00:23:46 It's a wonderful album. Eugene, you're on this show, Bob's Burgers. Yes. Where you play the character. Is it Gene? Yeah, Gene. Very convenient.
Starting point is 00:24:00 What's going on in that show? Have they run out of... Catch us up. What's going on? Where are the Belcher's at these days? Have they run out of things for you to do at this point? No, surprisingly they haven't. Yeah, you ever get the script and you're like,
Starting point is 00:24:16 I'm doing what? Gene wouldn't do this, and then you go, who the fuck cares? May you just say the stuff? I argue virtually every line. The records could be a few hours. I make them a day. This isn't Gene.
Starting point is 00:24:33 He wouldn't go, ah! He'd go, ooh! Do you ever get, like, friends of yours with kids asking you to, like, call and leave messages for their kids and stuff like that? Yeah, a little. And strangers, yes. And then I often do. Yeah. Hi, this is Gene. Happy birthday. Yeah. Thank you. You're going to be a man. Just like me. A real middle-aged man calling you, a child, leaving you a message. Call me back. Here's my number. just me, a grown man, leaving a message for a child
Starting point is 00:25:11 at the behest of the child's parent. Just to be clear, none of these children have their own answering service. It's often recorded by the parents and at their discretion to give this disgusting message to their offspring. Do you ever get requests to say
Starting point is 00:25:33 like grown-up adult things in the gene voice? Okay, this is leading. This is where you're going. Like, what if, how would it sound? Just pull the script, just whatever script you wrote. How would Gene say the word titties? I don't know, but it might go, uh, uh, titties!
Starting point is 00:25:53 Sounds about right. Love it, yeah. Love it. Yeah, or maybe he'd be more startled. This is just, the, you know. Has he canonically seen titties? No. He's canonically seen only what someone could see around 8.30 p.m. on a major network.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah. So your fanfic is not going to get published. Yeah. He's heard about butts. Seen nothing. Oh, yeah. The Belcher household was recently, upper butt was a big part of an episode recently. Upper But for Tina, big talk.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Yeah. I watch the show. Yeah. I'm a fan. In a cool way, not a creepy way. Yeah. I'd just like to see the kids talk about touching butts. Eugene, have you ever played this horse theater?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yes. I noticed some of the staff were like, Eugene, you're back. It's true. Yeah, that was nice. It felt like a warm welcome. Yeah. Yes, I played it. I've often, when friends come to town, I do shows with them.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And you graciously offered to do this show with us. You were just going to come to it, actually. It's true. And I bugged you enough and you said, yeah, okay, I'll come on stage. It's very nice of you. I appreciate that. I'm a very kind person. You're welcome, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:27:17 And like a very kind person, you walk back stage and said, what's going to happen? That's a quote. Well, we're going to find out what happens because we have some very special guests coming out here. Eugenia, are you ready? We're going to talk to them. Yeah. We need your energy, the entire show. I will have this energy.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah. It's pretty good. It's going to be a group of people, I believe four more people coming out. These are conversations that have never been had before, will never be had ever again. These are some of the most interesting people in the world. Sure. Yeah. It's not what I would call the show where we talk to interesting people necessarily, but it's more like humanity in the Animal Kingdoms podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Sure. But still earthbound. Earthbound, yes. Not in space yet. Eventually, I'd like to float around up there. Wouldn't you? How so? Like, when I'm dead?
Starting point is 00:28:13 Sure. Instead of burying me, just shoot me up in there. Yeah, if you could blow me out an airlock, I'd love it. You know what would be great as if the minute you died, instead of just, like, lying there as a corpse, like... Rockets went off onto your... Just pooh! And if you could just, while you're walking around, you just see people, boom! You'd be like, oh, that's sad, but look at him go!
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah. Hey, where did Eugene go? We haven't seen him in a week. He must have booged. Yeah, I'm saving for a space burial. Really? Yeah, that's my plan. I'd love that. Which part of space? Which neighborhood?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Hopefully all of it. Yeah. Just strewn body parts everywhere. No, I think I'd like to be one thing so that I could, like, hit somebody's, you know, like an alien spaceship. Yeah. You're like, duh. They're like, oh my God, Gene. From Bob's burgers?
Starting point is 00:29:05 Yeah. the only thing they've received. All right, Eugene Merman, everyone. Give him a big round of applause. Thank him for being here. Thank you. All right, our first guest I've not met before. This is exciting.
Starting point is 00:29:30 That's why I had to glance down at the information I have regarding him. He is the aforementioned entrepreneur. he is from Mamet Valley, please welcome Bing Lujo. Here, switch with me. Switch with me. I'll go down there. It's incredible when you see what we've practiced so many times working perfectly.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Shall I stay in the same place? That's your voice, Bing. Hi. Hi. I just like to meet you. It's so nice to meet you, Bing. Yeah. I travel to the show.
Starting point is 00:30:37 My pleasure. You're an entrepreneur for what I understand. I run a bought shop. You can get mortons, milksakes, egg creams. You can get a plane shelter if you want. These are like very, I mean, I love hearing all this. This is a very old-fashioned kind of drinks. I'm a very old person.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Oh, okay. How old are you being? 98 years old. Oh, wow. 98 years old. You were born in 1926? That's right, I think. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I don't remember a lot about it. Yeah, what was going on in 1926? Stock market crashed. Sweet, two years later, or three, huh? Yeah. Yeah, everybody's walking around a black and white. Who was president? Woodrow Wilson.
Starting point is 00:31:26 That's what I was thinking. He was a black and white, too. Wilbur Wilson? Woodrow Wilson. Okay, okay, okay. You couldn't hear any of the movies. Then they finally found that volume knob And they turned them up
Starting point is 00:31:40 You go to the movie Like I can't wait to go to the movies Here's a nickel And then the movie starts like I can't hear anything And then some guy starts playing the piano Yeah, or an organ sometimes Sometimes
Starting point is 00:31:53 What year did you open the malt shop? What's the malt shop called? The mall shop is called Bing through a straw Bing through a straw Something you must have said tens of thousands of times in your lifetime, really? That's how I got my name, Bing!
Starting point is 00:32:15 Because when I opened a shop, it didn't have a name. And I would say, people would say, because maltage were new. Okay. Yeah. And they'd say, what do we do with this? And I'd say, you put the straw, you suck it up, Bing through the straw.
Starting point is 00:32:28 So what was your name prior to that? Bingle. Bingle? Like the tiger? Close. Too close. Oh boy, don't get too close for a tiger. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:32:47 That's like one of the movies I saw when I was a little kid. Someone getting too close or someone saying don't get too close. Well, they got too close and then a card would come up on the screen and said, don't get too close with a tiger. The fanciest fun you ever seen. And then the tiger attacked the man, but it was a guy. suit you can see. Huh?
Starting point is 00:33:09 What if I'm closer to you? Yeah, let's all get really close. Tell you what. You be here. All right. Eugene, you be here. But it's right here. Jason, I want... Jason, I want you over here. Oh, okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:22 So we're not close now. Here or here? What are you... I thought getting to see your face would make it easier to understand you and I'm wrong. Oh, I'm not going to say. Not helping. It's not bad. Why didn't I take that lip reading course before I did this show? It could be helpful if we sat in a circle.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Like at a circular table? Like in a circular jerk motion? What? I'm going to go sit over here. Okay, yeah, please. Bing, it's such a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to me, too, Scott. You're from Mamet Falls.
Starting point is 00:34:00 No. Where are you from? Mammot Valley. Sorry. That's where the mall shop is. And have you lived there all of your 98 years? Is that where you grew up as well? Nah, I was...
Starting point is 00:34:13 I was a mercenary brat, so we traveled around a lot. You said mercenary brat? That's right. I'd love to dig in on that if you don't mind. Both of my parents were mercenaries. Okay, not military. You're not saying military brats. Nope, not affiliate with your own fortunes in any way.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Independent contractors. Okay. Wet work and such. I suppose. But sometimes they just transport things for you. What was the last part? Sometimes they just transport things for you. So we're talking, they were, I mean, I assume mercenaries in the 20s.
Starting point is 00:34:52 They were, you know... During the World War I? Well, everybody had those funny guns. Guns back then were hilarious. So funny. What are some of the places you traveled to? All over the continental United States, which at that time, I think, was only 30 states still. Did you get to Rhodesia at all?
Starting point is 00:35:14 We have been to Rhodesia. Sorry, were your parents mercenaries within the United States? Domestic mercenaries? No, they were from America, but they traveled all over the place. Where did they do the mercenaries, primarily? They did it primarily in the United States. because they're a family. That's so sweet.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah. So they were like assassinating people within the United States. They promised themselves they were never going to be more than a day away. So they weren't necessarily being employed by our government. They were just to the highest bidder.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Who have had the money? Wow. Yeah. So did you ever find yourself, I'm just curious, like, knowing that they were a part of anything that was going on in this country? Any, I mean, notable assassinations,
Starting point is 00:36:04 Historical events. I mean... I remember telling a story about some Archduke. Okay. Archduke Ferdinand? Yeah, that's before I was born, though. Yeah, oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Uh-oh. Some guy named something McKinley, somebody Garfield. Andrew? These are quite a few notable. assassination. Really? Like, historically relevant assassinations. They were good at what they did. This is what
Starting point is 00:36:40 I'm saying, you are part of history. Wow, because of so old. Yeah. Yeah. And your parents... Because I remember when they had the television for the first time. Oh, wow. What was you watch? Who do I answer first? We asked the same question, but in different ways. What was on? What did you watch?
Starting point is 00:36:58 Well, the screen was about the size of a quarter. And the first you will watch a man come on and say, soon the television will have the news. He would basically, it was a guy telling you what was going to be on the television eventually.
Starting point is 00:37:13 And we were wrapped. We couldn't believe it. And of course, some people thought it was a tiny little man that lived in the box. Oh, wow. And it never turned out to be a tiny man that lived in the box, right?
Starting point is 00:37:27 No, and we smashed up some TVs, too. I remember one time me and some of my friends, of course, our pants were very short and we had long socks and we saw Now why don't those come together? Why don't pants go directly into socks? That's the question.
Starting point is 00:37:45 That's how you know if you're a boy or a man. Okay. When they start separating your pants from your socks? There's a certain age where it's like, okay, now you can have pants to go all the way down. You have short pants, long socks. That's when you get into that zone? Yeah, like the cake song.
Starting point is 00:38:02 How do you know the? band cake. We have one CD in the shop, and it's all we play. That's all you play at Bing's? Yeah. Bink through a straw. And that was my wife's favorite CD. It was given to her by her granddaughter.
Starting point is 00:38:18 So you have children and they have children and et cetera? No, she had an adopted granddaughter. Can you do that? I thought you adopted someone. Can I do that? It's just after you pass 60, it's automatically a girl. granddaughter instead of a daughter? Well, yeah, I think it depends on the age
Starting point is 00:38:37 different. Can you designate what an adoption is? I'd love to adopt a stepson. You probably can. You just got to check a box, right? Yeah. People don't look at the whole form. Though it becomes your son. He.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Anyway. It. You're being awful careful with those pronouns. Anyway. Anyway. Anyway. Is your, I'm sorry, Bing, is your wife still with us? No, she died three days ago.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Christ, what are you doing here? Oh, gosh. I mean, you know, when you get to be my age, people die all the time. But that's your wife. How long had you been married? Oh, 75 years. Oh, my God. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:39:26 We had a diamond anniversary. Four days ago. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, that's awful. Bing. I'm so sorry for your loss. That's fine. We had a lot of time together.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Can I ask how she passed away? Yeah. Well, you know, we went to Mass every Sunday. And this one Sunday last week, we didn't go. And I said, let's do Mass at home. You know, catch up before we go to next time. And so I baked up a Eucharist. You baked up a Eucharist.
Starting point is 00:40:03 up a ukra. Yeah, it's easy. It's 11, so that's one step you don't kind of worry about. Yeah, why not? In the comfort of your own home, make the body of Christ. And instead of why, we use the egg cream. Which does not have egg. No, so you can have it, right?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Absolutely, thank you for knowing about you. I know what you. How do you know about you? Thank you, Bing. I have to keep track of people's allergies. Because they're coming in a shop. Some people say, I'm allergic to shake but not milk. I have a shake intolerance. So I just took three scoops of ice cream with a glass.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Kind of rattled around. I hand them a wider straw. So that they can bing it through the straw. Exactly. Anyway, my wife choked on the host. Oh, no. I made it too big. I made it too big.
Starting point is 00:40:57 So she was otherwise actually pretty healthy. She was filling the fiddle. She was going to do a 5K. That's a lot of case. Do you feel guilty at all? I mean, I did that day, yeah. I thought about it all day. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:14 I have a question. Because you didn't go to... Yes, thank you for... Right here. Because you didn't go to regular mass, do you think she went to heaven, or... No, unfortunately, she... I mean, it wasn't a consecrated host.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I guess in a way, it was kind of blasphemy, even though we didn't intend it that way. But rules are rules. So she might not have died in a state of grace because I don't know the last time she went to confession. So did you watch, like, Mass on TV, or did you do it yourself? We will record, we would go to Mass,
Starting point is 00:41:45 and then we would record Mass on TV, and then we watched it so many times that I could recreate it. Okay, yeah, go ahead. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. Christ has died, Christ has risen. Christ will come. just curious what the homily was oh a homily i would get up there and i would say you know
Starting point is 00:42:14 things move so fast these things sometimes it's good to slow down skip church every once in a while and do it at home it was very meta this sounds very it sounds like a like how ferris bueller talks to the fourth wall at the end would you turn to the camera and be like, what are you guys still doing there? Get out of here. I did look at a camera, yeah. I couldn't help but notice, when you started reciting the prayer, everybody in the mezzanine covered their ears and acted like they were in pain. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:46 Because are they demons? Probably. I think so. Piss demons. Yeah. That's right. Yum, yum, yum. Now I got Scott doing it, too, you piss freaks.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I still got here earlier. So I know what everybody's talking about. because I sure don't. That's okay. Well, I'm so sorry about your wife. It sounds like you're not incredibly sorry. I'm okay. You're all right.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Yeah. There's so many other... Soon we'll be reunited, either in heaven or in hell. Are you going to try to match it up? I'm going to try. I mean, I got a 50-50 shot. Well, I mean, like at this point, do you feel like you should stop going to... Knowing that she probably went to hell, should you start sinning, start...
Starting point is 00:43:31 Stop going to church. It could be like the purge. You could just murder. Should you purge your way into hell? I mean, you don't have to do much, really, because God, he gets very angry, so it doesn't take a lot. Yeah. This makes me wonder, what year did you open the malt shop?
Starting point is 00:43:48 What's what? What year did you open the malt shop? Now, you can't understand him? It's a surprising turn of events. I think Bing might hear everybody else through his accent. I understand. I opened a mall shop in
Starting point is 00:44:05 1946. I was 20 years old. Oh, wow. Yeah. You opened it, it wasn't, you didn't start working, it wasn't someone else's that you worked your way up, but you opened it up right. It was a milk crate on a corner. That's how it started.
Starting point is 00:44:18 And I was making milkshakes, moths and head creams right there on the street. And guys would come off a construction site or they'd come home from the war, shell shop. And I would see that faraway look in their eyes. and I would say, hey, wouldn't a nice cold milkshake be good right now?
Starting point is 00:44:35 And then they would absolutely reach into their uniform trousers and throw down a nickel, and I give them a maltower and cream RML case. And then eventually so many damaged men came home that I was able to build an actual structure. Now, 20 years old, of course, I want to do it. list of the war. Lick Hitler. And I couldn't do it
Starting point is 00:45:04 because I only have a half a lug. One half of one lung? One half of one. Oh, that's a total. That's a quarter of what the rest of us have. Exactly. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:15 And so they said, sorry, son, you can't do it. And I said, what if I told you I was making that up about the lung? And they said, we've heard it all. Oh, so you told them. They didn't examine you. You told them.
Starting point is 00:45:25 I filled out the four, but I didn't expect... And it says how many lungs? How many lungs you got? And you wrote, you wrote, 0.5? There was one, there was a box for one, a box for two, and I had to write in a pencil, 0.5. Yeah. Because I'm honest, but they wouldn't let me go
Starting point is 00:45:45 and listen to the water. It's because I shame. Man, if you had been there, do you think you would have killed Hitler? Why, that would have, like, but that's, what a failing because they could have used you maybe espionage-wise, like your parents' mercenaries. could have gotten you, and maybe you could have given Hitler a poisoned egg cream or something. I know.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I'm very quiet because my breathing is not loud at all. Maybe back then. Yeah, now it's a little bit late, but I guess you could say. I just think maybe it would be hard for you to do a stealth mission. Because now you think I'm loud. Yeah, you're pretty loud, I mean... You're a pretty loud guy. You're a loud, unintelligible guy.
Starting point is 00:46:27 But I'm so... But I mean, I'm not going to walk. around the eagles that's going, Hitler, where are you? Well, I mean, I mean, yeah, I wonder, could you have, like, you didn't learn German or anything like that? Yeah, you didn't. Nine.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Okay. Yeah, that's pretty good. Mix messages here. Do you think that might have worked, though, if anyone had ever done it? Hitler, where are you? Oh, right here. It's worth a shot. Right?
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah. Anyway, he's dead, so what are we talking about? We think, definitely. What? What? Who knows? He could be the next guest. What?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Hitler's not on the show. I'll finally get my kick. God, if you ever see that guy. Thank God I wear my poison ring everywhere I go. You weren't wearing that ring when you baked the Eucharist, were you? Boy. You know what? Go to hell.
Starting point is 00:47:28 I mean, I already felt very. responsible for a death, but now I feel responsible in a different way? Like a careless kind of responsible. Yeah. Instead of incompetent. So do you have any plans to date now that you're on the market? What do you think? You're sliding into anybody's DMs?
Starting point is 00:47:51 A lot of attractive ladies here in Boston. Maybe not at this show, but... Whoa. It's not an indictment of the quality of the women. Well, you came backstage earlier when you looked at the crime and you said, what a bunch of uggos? And I said, what are you talking about? Boston's fame is for hunks and honeies.
Starting point is 00:48:10 I'm just saying there are no women. Oh, okay. Are you kidding? A bunch of these dudes dragged their wives here. These poor women are like, you listen to it on your commute. I don't even know what it is. These are inside jokes that even you don't get. I hate this.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Let's get a divorce. I don't mean to say that, because we have so many great women fans, and we love them. No, honestly, it's just kind of in... Who will be asking for a divorce tonight, regardless. There's just kind of a joke about, like, podcasts in general. Did you want to have every woman stand up? Yeah, every...
Starting point is 00:48:52 Where are you going with this? Like, no, no, no, they're out there. Stand up and strut on stage for us, just in a line, if you don't mind. That reminds me the steel pier in Atlantic City. I got Atlantic City. Steel Pier, Atlantic City. The ladies were getting their swimsuits and they'd have a beauty contest.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Oh, in like... What contest? Beauty. Beauty. How did you get... I was untrimed. How did you get contest? I got contests I got, but it sounded like it was a poody contest,
Starting point is 00:49:27 and I was like, I don't think I know what that is. But I'm curious. A classic Atlantic City Poodie contest. There used to be a lady who would ride a horse and a horse would jump into a pool of water. Probably right here at this horse theater. That is from before. So Bing, do you have your eyes on someone?
Starting point is 00:49:50 Was there someone there? In a couple ladies in town. I know I've been waiting for my wife to die. Oh, really? You think there's like been a clock on this for a while? Oh, they tell me. They say, when Helen dies, look out. Is that why you had to leave town in the days after her death? Or that you could mourn in quiet?
Starting point is 00:50:12 Exactly. I want to tear my clothes off. How old are the women who are after you? They're also in their 90s. The median age in my neighborhood is probably 90. Okay. Yeah. So there are like 80-year-olds and 100-year-olds?
Starting point is 00:50:30 Two 80-year-olds. 200-year-olds. Two-hundred-year-olds. And then there's a couple guys who are 125. Whoa. They're skewing the whole thing. They're fraternal twins. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:42 What do they do for a living? They're funeral directors, and they take turns modeling in the coffin. Oh, wow. And they don't tell... They sound so cool. They don't tell people that they're twins, but they look enough alike
Starting point is 00:50:57 so that people will come in and that one guy will say, and this is how I will choose to be going underground. I genuinely wish they were the next two people coming on stage. They say, picture me in the coffin, and then the people think that they're picturing it. They always say, oh, my God, I can see it. Have they ever accidentally buried one of them?
Starting point is 00:51:24 A few times, yeah. Okay, okay. But that's why it's called Bell Brothers, because they still bury people with the bell attached to the car. Oh, smart. Smart. Yeah, from plague times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Because they were like, why should that go out of style? You could get buried by accident anytime. So it just happened recently. Someone woke up at a funeral home. Someone who was in, like, was sent to a, the body was, she was declared, I think it was a woman who's declared dead,
Starting point is 00:51:47 I can't remember where, sent to a funeral home and came to in the funeral home. This, wait, where? Sounds like Connecticut? Yeah, it was Connecticut. fucking Connecticut. What a piece of shit. Sounds like a real West Hartford's thing.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Take your clam pizza and get the fuck out of here. Do people in Boston hate Connecticut? No. They don't care. That's what I figured. Give it to New York. Get rid of it. People here hate the Virgin Islands. Because they're prude.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah, not wild. Like Massachusetts. Yeah. So do you have any plans now that your wife has gone? Anything you're going to try to achieve? Is this a big trip for you? Is this your appearance here in Boston? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Why are you even here? Yeah. I came here to scout potential franchise location. Oh, wow. Huge news. Holy cow. the breakfast. So, oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:53:02 So, is so far only one being? Just big a door straw, there's only one. Okay. And I thought, what if I would put another score? And then I could divide my time between the one or the other. Sure. Meaning they would be open on alternating days? Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:21 That, I'm going to be honest. If you do do Boston, that commute is going to be a bear. Not the bear. Chicago. You know your pop culture. Yes, chef. So, I would say big a through a straw
Starting point is 00:53:38 open every other day. Wow. If you're here and it's closed, it's not the day. Yeah. I mean, I think they would get it if they showed up and it was closed. It's not the day. I think you could do this is a city that, I mean, it was 85 degrees
Starting point is 00:53:53 here today. It wouldn't have been, wow, would it have been great to get a milkshake? We would love a milk shake of all over there. Cream on a day like today Did you bring one? Do you guys have a song? Is there a big song? Oh, we have a lot of songs.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Is there a jingle, rather? We have a lot of song and jingles for where people do things in the mall shop. If they order a certain thing, then everybody sings a certain song, you know. So like, if somebody orders a milkshake and they say extra thick.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Okay, so if I'm a tingling, ling, ling. Hi, can I get a, can I get a milkshake extra thick? He did it. He did it. He ordered. a milkshake and he wants it extra thick everybody gather around look at this he man he is thick as a brick he's gonna dig it through a straw till it goes down his gallant then it's in his tummy and he's
Starting point is 00:54:45 gonna get a mullet when he goes through the bumper shop right next door he ought to it extra thick Wow. I loved it. I love that. I would order it extra thick all the time. I'll be honest, it could have just been two lines. It was so long. And you're telling me there's multiple songs that length. It's while the product is being made.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Oh, wow, that's really... Actually, I love that. You know, what a great time. To fill that time with songs. It's fun. Now, Scott, honey, you acting like you were going to be nextelighted. Then you ran away. Yeah, what did you get scared of?
Starting point is 00:55:21 I got scared of your dancing pretty much. I thought it was, yeah. Well, then you don't want to come into Bing and Through and Strong because everybody dances all the time. May I enter, though? Please. Enter freely and of your own will. It goes the other way.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Dingling, Ling. Welcome to Bing and Through and Strong. Thank you, sir. I'm Bing. What can I do for you? Hi, Bing. Nice to meet you. You seem distracted, son.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Are you okay? I'm looking up at the menu. Has no one ever done that in this store before? No. We only serve three things. You're looking at a picture of a miltick, a picture of a malton, and a picture of an egg cream.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Don't try to tell me my business, son. I've been in this store for decades. Dinglingling, ling, ling, excuse me, you just hit that kid with your car. And you're taking time to order a milk milkshake, malted, or egg cream? That kid is on Finites, man. He's fine.

Starting point is 01:25:25 What kind of plane is this? It's a normal passenger plane that is worried. Who are you, Yankton? I'm the guy that got extra screening. That makes sense. Totally random, but yet somehow very invasive extra screening. That name has too many vowels in it.

Starting point is 01:26:26 Not an act. It's actually, I mean, this is kind of personal to me. This is a relative of mine. This time it is? This time it's personal. Aw. This is, you know, when you do a show, sometimes your relatives want to come.
Starting point is 01:26:43 They want to see the show. And sometimes they say, hey, what if I were to get up on stage with you? And so one of my relatives is here. Welcome to my grandmother. This is Nana. Come on back out, Nana. Come on back out. Hello, Scott. My beloved boy.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. Did I miss your piano recital? No. This is the show. We're in the middle of the show. A show on a long airplane? What the hell? I guess I'll be the sexy flight attendant.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Well, actually, this could be a good connection, Bing and Nana. This is not bad. Bing Crosby is here. I wish. It's me Bing Luzzo. Malt shop proprietor. He runs a malt shop in Mammot something. Valley.
Starting point is 01:28:15 We also sell egg creams and milksakes. And soon to be. A hot chowder. I can't understand the word you're saying. Ooh, it's working. You're nagging her. Scott, Scott, please, I hate to turn up out of the blue univated. But...
Starting point is 01:28:42 I get that. I couldn't stay away. I know. I understand. I couldn't find it. All right, Nana. All right. And now I missed your song, which is a real shame because I didn't believe these chickeny little wrists could play a damn thing.
Starting point is 01:28:57 But how did the recital go? We're doing it. We're in the middle. This is happening. Where's your piano then, chicken lover? I... I stopped... Have you been practicing? Have you even been practicing piano on, like, if not a keyboard, like a big long piece of paper that you just draw the keys on?
Starting point is 01:29:16 I stopped taking lessons when I was six, Nana. I don't do it anymore. And what year did you open the mall shop? That's around the same time. Come on. Well, you're probably wondering why I'm late. We all have our own microphones now. Why are you late? I was curious.
Starting point is 01:29:46 You're wondering, huh? Yes. I have devastating news, Scott. Oh, no, Nana. Is everyone all right? No. 22 people and 14 horses have died in the great molasses flood of Boston. That can't, that certainly can't be the only information you have on this event. Is this new? Like, again?
Starting point is 01:30:17 It happened again! How did we not learn after the first one? Simply the tank was engineered with only a third of the amount of steel it was supposed to have. Again! And 13,000 metric tons of molasses poured into the strait, Scott. Was it Boylston Street? It was on the north end of Boston, and 22 people and 14 horses died. It's so many more people than horses.
Starting point is 01:30:55 It must have smelled so nice, though. What a way to go. Frozen in molasses. Some people say you can still smell the molasses in the cobblestone. It just happened today, you were saying, though? Well... So some people are still able to smell. It happened in 1919, but it hasn't stopped.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Oh. Are there people frozen in molasses like Pompeii? Yeah, remember the mosquito and Ambah from Jurassic Park? Do I? Well, they're getting along. They're flirting. They're flirting. They're getting along.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Remember that guy in Pompey who's, like, jerking it? Oh, yes. Why would you say that to your grandmother? You don't know my grandmother. Honestly, think about that. You said that in front of your grandmother to, like, a thousand-something Bostonians? You don't know my grandmother.
Starting point is 01:31:46 She's fucked in the head. Jesus. And he's fucked in the ass. What? You don't know my little Scott. He's a natural born pervert, aren't you boy? And when he was little, he'd play the piano by dyncing out his dunger,
Starting point is 01:32:01 and he'd go, look, look, three hands. And you'd play Edelweiss, wouldn't you, boy? My favorite song. Well, I got swept away by the molasses, and I'd joint my head on Fenway Park. Wait, you were in the molasses for me? Oh, yes. I was, that's how I got here in the goo.
Starting point is 01:32:22 You served the goo? I served the goo until I slipped down the sewer and I was... So this just sounds like a teenage mutant ninja turtle situation. No, no, no, you got sewer. No, it's not at all. I went into the sewer. Was there pizza?
Starting point is 01:32:37 There was a little pizza. Was there a talking rat? No, but there were four tall green men. Okay. Barsh and maple syrup turtles. Funny you should say that Because they cornered me in the sewer And they held a gun to my head
Starting point is 01:32:56 And they said, you have a choice You can either become teenaged or mutant Or ninja or turtle God, this is like a fuck Mary kill type of situation Which one did you pick? Plus turtle He sounds like you, my boy Fuck turtle, those were your first words, remember?
Starting point is 01:33:17 I was a big entourage, fan. I loved him. So what did you pick? Well, I didn't want to be any of them. I said, no, leave me be. I just want to be Scott's grandma. Aw, Nana.
Starting point is 01:33:33 But they wouldn't let me, so they said before the clock strikes midnight, I'll be all four. No! Wait, tonight, midnight? Uh-oh. I feel the first one happening. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:33:45 This is really before. Which one? Teenage! Oh my God, Nana! Oh, my God, Nana! You're so cool! Whoa! Nana!
Starting point is 01:33:58 You're so cool! Don't hurt yourself. You dabbed? Oh, yeah. So many dabs. Whoa, Nana. You're a rebel. What a cool team.
Starting point is 01:34:12 I absolutely ate and left no crumbs. Why is your voice still so old? This is what I sounded like when I was a little girl. Oh, really? Oh, yes, Scott. Oh, I feel so teenage tonight. I have a crush on every boy in the room. Do you girls want to have a slumber party?

I don't like skinny legs. No, no, I like skinny legs. I mean, I like the... I don't want to insult the chair, you know?
