Hey everyone, welcome to another bonus bang
where we re-release fantastic episodes of Comedy Bang Bang
from out from behind the paywall.
I'm Scott Aukerman, the host of Comedy Bang Bang.
And this week we are continuing
with our Teenage Dirtbag series,
featuring some of the fun teen characters
that we've had on the show.
This week we have teenager Dash Grabham. That's right, Dash Grabham. Who is he?
He's a 12 year old Pokemon trainer from the Kanto region. And these are all things that I learned a
lot about in this episode. And Dash comes to the show to teach us all about what he does. He's
played by Zach Reno, a great comedian. And this is episode number 641 entitled Not My Aunt, which
was originally released on February 16th of 2020. It features Adam Caton-Holland, comedian
of the Grawlix fame, and we also have Jessica McKenna as Sherry Barrels, and of course Zach
Reno as Dash Grabham.
It's a fun, fun episode.
I think you're gonna like it.

Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you, Sweet Pete Brown.
Oh, Sweet Pete, the sweetest of peetest.
Welcome to the show for another week.
And by the way, not just any show, you are listening to America's Podcast.
That's right, it's been a couple of weeks since America has bestowed that honor upon
us.
And by the way, when I say America's podcast, let there be no confusion about what America
I'm talking about.
I am talking about North America,
Canada, of course, Mexico.
I'm also talking about South America.
Anywhere within that, I'm also talking about the blessed,
oh, these 50 states of ours that have banded together
and worked together in one union.
But we are, of course, America's podcast, and thank you to anyone in America who is
enjoying it.
And anyone outside of America, I hope you're a lot like Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places,
looking inside that restaurant window going, wow, look at
all those wonderful dishes inside. And the food, I would imagine. Maybe he was a little
more interested in that. Welcome to the show. Coming up a little later, by the way, my name
is Scott Aukerman. I am coming up right now. And in fact, two minutes in the past. But
in the future, coming up on the show, we have a retiree and we also have a trainer.
Look, it is America's podcast, but we're never going to lose the fact that we talk to interesting
people on this show. And this episode is no exception. By the way, congratulations to all
you lovers who made love on Valentine's Day. That's a very important day. And I expect to see some babies in about 10 months time
or nine and a half or so.
Coming up in, by the way, that's right.
If you still have some residual Valentine's feeling
and energy, go check out Michael Bolton's
Big Sexy Valentine's Day special on Netflix.
That's something that The Lonely Island and I made,
so you can still watch that and forever more.
But coming up on the show right now,
we have a comedian who has been on the show,
I'm gonna wager six times.
This is probably six appearance.
Hundreds of times, actually.
Hundreds of times?
Yeah. I'm that far off.
Yeah, you're way off.
So more than just 100, you've been on 200 or more?
Hundreds. It's three to four hundred times.
Three to four hundred times? We've only done 638 episodes at this point?
And I've been there for the lion's share of them, and I appreciate it.
By the way, you are not a lion, right?
No.
Because you have a lot of facial hair right now. Maybe more than I've ever seen you?
I should have been more specific. I was there for the Adam's share of them, which is Adam, Kate, and Holland's share
of the podcast I've been on.
Well, you gave away your name there.
Did you see that Lion King?
The remake?
Either.
Yes, to both.
Wonderful.
Why did you specify the remake then,
if you had seen both?
You could have just confidently said yes.
Well, because I wanted to know what you were talking about
to prepare my next statements and opinions.
Always the lawyerly mind of Adam Caton Holland.
And I said his name too, and if you say it a third time, he will disappear.
He will be gone?
Hopefully.
From the podcast forever.
But he, of course, is a wonderful comedian.
He is reissuing his album.
Adam Caton Holland performs his signature bits,
which comes out this Friday on vinyl on Saddle Creek Records.
Please welcome back to the show Adam Caton-Holland.
Thank you. Welcome back.
Thanks for having me.
And I really am happy to be back
because I think a lot of comedians use this podcast
as a platform to plug their things.
I bet they do.
I would wager that a majority of them use platform to plug their things. I bet they do. I would wager that a majority of them
use this to plug their things.
I think you're right about that.
That's a wasted opportunity.
This is a, yeah, absolutely because.
What's it about for you?
You have arguably the most discerning
comedy listeners in the world,
and certainly all of the Americas.
Well, it's America's podcast, certainly.
100%.
And America is nothing if not discerning. Why would you not use that opportunity to bounce some
ideas off of America? Yes! See what sticks. Springboard. Exactly. A writer's
workshop if you will. What kind of ideas are we talking about? Well you're known as
the catchphrase guy. I was a catchphrase guy. Yeah. I had a wonderful
catchphrase, What's Up Hot dog, that I used for many years.
At a certain point, I gave it to Weird Al Yankovic,
and he opens every concert by saying, what's up hot dog?
And at least he has when I've seen him.
And he tells me he does it all across
everywhere he performs, in every continent,
but I've only seen him in Los Angeles,
and he has done it every time I've seen him.
So I'm taking him at his word.
Yeah, he's good for it.
So I gave that one to him and then ever since then,
I have been searching for a catchphrase
and people send their catchphrase submissions to me
every single week and I say them
and just none of them feel good,
not only entering my mouth, but exiting my mouth.
And I used to think my mouth but exiting my mouth and I used to
think my mouth by the way was exit only and I realized the guys gotta eat.
Sure. So in any case why did you mention catchphrases? Well because my, listen I
think your listeners who've heard my hundreds of episodes know I'm doing
pretty great but I think a lot of people who are your listeners... You're one of America's
topest comics. Well you one could argue, and yet, you know,
last year, what did Netflix put out?
7,000 comedy specials, 8,000 comedy specials?
Somewhere in there, yes.
And not one of them was mine.
And I was bothered by that, but then I thought, well.
Have you ever done a Netflix special?
No.
They've never come knock, knock, knocking at your door?
No.
Ted Sarandos?
Stunning.
But I thought I could sit and I could mope,
or I could make myself a better comedian.
And what do all the best comedians have?
Well, it's catchphrases.
Whoa.
And so, no.
Okay.
Now explain what a catchphrase is for people
who don't know how they pertain to comedians.
It's a signature exclamation that one yells out
almost indiscriminately. Is it always a yell?
And almost always in a non sequitur fashion.
The voice is always raised.
Raised loud and then that's how the audience
could confine you if they're blind or.
Is that their primary purpose?
Some sort of sonar thing for blind audiences?
A catchphrase is like a.
Cyclists, what do we say instead of blind these days? Uh, vision impaired perhaps?
Maybe, yeah, vision impaired, yeah.
I mean, a picture, I think, I think of a catchphrase as a man at a dog park in the dark
trying to get his dog by yelling the loudest.
And so that's how I deliver my catchphrases.
And I thought let 2020 be the year that Adam Caton Holland comes with a new catchphrase
that fits him over the top.
So I've written some out.
So you have some options here.
You have not settled on one.
Have not settled on one.
And I'd love to try them out on CBB land.
Do you want to do this for the listeners?
How do you want feedback?
Do you want?
I'd like to give my phone number to the listeners.
And if they would just call me directly with their opinion.
Let me guess, is it 1-800-E-CHIT?
Because I fell for that already.
That's going on the catchphrase list. That's now number nine option. Let me guess, is it 1-800-EACH-HIT? Because I fell for that already.
That's going on the catchphrase list.
That's now number nine option.
Let me guess, is it 1-800-EACH-HIT?
The whole thing, all right.
Non sequiturs, Scott.
Okay.
Doesn't have to make sense.
Okay.
But yeah, my number is 720-481-1434.
Call me, let me know what you think of the catchphrases.
Will you pick up the phone or is this...
Yeah, every time.
Every time, great. Day or night. Day or night? Yeah. Middle of the catchphrases. Will you pick up the phone? Yeah, every time. Every time? Great. Day or night.
Day or night?
Yeah.
Middle of the night?
Again.
Honey?
There's one, there's another catchphrase critique, I guess.
It's a CBB listener from Brasilia, Brazil.
America's podcast.
America's podcast.
All right, hit me.
Catchphr phrase one.
My name's Adam Caton-Hall, and sometimes I refer to myself as ACH.
Do you now?
Yeah.
You can't spell laugh until you have a bellyache
without ACH.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Back up, back up, back up.
That's the first one.
Do you start it by telling the audience
that you refer to yourself as ACH?
No, because my fans know that I'm ACH.
They do.
I'm not assuming that all of CBB knows me as that.
I see, okay, so do it again.
You can't spell laugh until you have a bellyache
without ACH.
You can't spell laugh until you have a bellyache?
Without your boy ACH.
Adam Cain.
That's just one option.
I'm not getting the chronology here.
One option for a catchphrase, Scott.
Okay, all right.
Option two, sweet sassafras, my heart's broken.
Oh, that took a left turn into an area
that I did not expect.
The sweet sassafras, you sounded sort of like
an old-timey prospector that might be welcoming riders
onto Big Thunder Railroad, telling
them and cautioning them in fact to hold on to their hats as well as their glasses and
yet after Sweet Sassafras you find out that his beloved has died.
Has died?
Yeah, the prospector's beloved died.
Do you go into how the death occurred?
Yeah, yeah, of course, but that's the full hour and I'm not going to give that away.
This is the catchphrase based off the bit where I was one minute of the catchphrase and then 59
Describing about the prospectors wife's death. Okay. Yeah in Montana 1888
Catch race. Don't blame me. I'm not the one who forgot the man of Shevitz
Are you Jewish half your half Jewish which half my's side, the side that doesn't count.
Top half, bottom half?
The half that got me to go on a birthright trip to Israel
for free?
That's, yeah, okay.
Catch phrase four, and in this one,
you need to kind of use your imagination.
Picture me.
Is it important that we've numbered them?
For me, it is.
You ever go into a restaurant that has numbers on the menu
and then you order by number and they go, which one?
And then you have to say what the thing is.
And I'm always like, well, why did you number them
if you don't want me to order by number?
And by the way, there has to be a menu in the kitchen.
You can just go back and look at it.
Yeah, I guarantee the chef knows what number four is.
Yeah, exactly.
So we've numbered these in the same way.
So people can call you and just go, number four?
Exactly. Okay.
That saves time and money on international calls.
Picture me carrying a bread bowl in this pit.
No, thank you.
From like a Perkins family restaurant bread bowl.
Like I'm carrying that.
By the way, you are miming a bread bowl
that is akin to a child.
Like this.
An extra large dinner plate sized bread bowl.
Like you are Mary and Joseph carrying the swaddled baby Jesus home from Bethlehem.
And I've come out, I poke my head out on stage.
It's the first you've seen me.
Home from Bethlehem?
Do they live in Bethlehem?
Where do they?
No.
They were out there, they were out in that, yeah, yeah, they were visiting, right?
He's a Nazareth guy.
He's a real Nazareth guy.
And they stopped into Bethlehem.
What team did he follow?
The Nazareth Saints.
Okay. So I've got the bread bowl. What team did he follow? The Nazareth Saints. Okay.
So I've got the bread bowl.
I poke my head out from behind stage.
I'm backstage.
So you're not even on stage.
Not even on stage yet.
Poke my head out, show the bread bowl and go,
excuse me, is it cool if I bring my bread bowl in here?
This is the winner.
I gotta say.
Yeah.
As far as I'm concerned,
if you started every show that way
and people rose to their feet as in like, he did it!
I'm sorry guys, I got a quick question before we get started. Cool, f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f Equal weight? Equal weight. So all listeners combined get one point and then one point for me.
Okay, good.
Number five, just the sound of a 1920s car horn after a ju-ju chops to kind of nail it, if I can work with him and have fun.
Wait, so he's going to imitate it?
Yeah, well, he's going to play his...
Yeah, I go to every club and I size up the sound guy over a lunch.
Give me your best a-ooga, over a lunch, really?
Well, I take him out to lunch and say, do you have what it takes to do the sound using
your mouth?
Not in effect over the course of my standup show.
But mine would be,
ah-oo-ga!
Number seven.
That's not,
that's not my cum.
Hey, what do you want me to do about it?
Whoa, this has a second part.
That's not my cum.
That, I mean, that's close.
That's a close second for me.
And then, just to see you have to do that.
The last one is.
This is number eight.
This is number eight, the final one.
Oh, what do I know?
I'm just a guy that saw Hamilton on Broadway,
original cast.
Whoa!
So those are the options, Scott,
and I so appreciate this sounding board.
One through eight.
Yeah, one through eight.
Let, one through eight?
One through eight. And if one through eight. Let, one through eight?
One through eight.
And if you have any opinions on them.
Is one through eight a water?
I don't know.
One through eight water?
I don't know.
Let Adam know, give him a call,
give him a ring a ding ding.
Text, texting rates apply.
Any day, any hour of the day.
Any hour, yeah.
I mean, you're up all the time, pretty much.
You're an insomniac.
Well, I'm working on my comedy.
Yeah, of course.
Always.
This is important stuff.
Thank you.
All right, wonderful.
Now tell me about this record that you're putting out.
This is, you got a hold of me, and you said,
Scott, I need to come on the show,
because I have a record coming out.
I was very excited, like, Adam has a new thing coming out.
Then you got here and you said,
oh yeah, it's a reissue,
unvinyl of something old I did.
And I said, why the hell did I fall for this?
And yet here you are talking about it.
So go ahead.
As you can tell,
I've been working on other comedy things
that aren't quite ready to put down on wax yet.
Okay.
Whereas this was.
And the record label Saddle Creek.
This is the thing you did, how many years ago?
11, 12 years ago.
12 years ago?
No, last year.
Last year, oh okay.
Came out last year.
And the record label Saddle Creek,
known for Bright Eyes, Curse of, the band Hop Along.
Great, great record label.
They all hanging out at the office with you?
They're all, I think they were hanging out one day
listening to some of their favorite comedy.
I came on, they said, let's get them,
let's get them on the label.
Connor over there going like,
hey man, I'm really enjoying track four.
Yeah, and Connor called me up and said,
let us put out your wax.
You're the first comic on the label.
What do you say, Adam?
I said, let's do it.
Wow, so do you hope that some sort of residual cool factor
or hipness washes off onto you?
My goal is to be as cool as Connor 2006.
Oh, okay, so he's gotten less cool since then.
No, no.
Is what you're trying to say.
But he's achieved.
You're trying to say that he has just dipped in coolness.
Is it a steady decline or was it a sharp decline?
He's moved laterally in coolness.
He's just.
Of my preferred era. He's gone over to another axis line,
which is not even cool anymore.
Is that what you're trying to say?
That I can't understand yet,
cause I'm not that cool.
He made a lateral move over to something that's not cool.
Nope, he made a lateral move to something that's equally
cool on a plane that you or I don't understand.
Another dimension.
Perhaps.
Another dimension?
We'll see.
Another dimension?
Well, no one, he lets us know. Okay.
But in 2006, kind of that's what I'm aiming for
with this release.
All right.
Of Adam Caton-Hall and performs his signature birds.
Well, wonderful.
How can people get this?
Apparently you have to have some sort of decoding instrument
in order to play it.
SaddleCreek.com.
And you can buy the wax, you can buy the vinyl
and skin it.
But you can't just like buy the thing
and then like put it up to your ear.
You need a record player.
You need a record player.
All right. Which, enjoy comedy how it's supposed to be, But you can't just like buy the thing and then like put it up to your ear. You need a record player. You need a record player.
All right.
Enjoy comedy how it's supposed to be gathered around with your friends and the record listening
to it.
Like it was an old dole of my record.
Absolutely.
Just playing at a party.
I'm tired of people listening to comedy without intention.
Just popping up on your shuffled mix.
No, sit down, listen to the entire album.
You should bring friends over, huddle them around this old timey record player that you
apparently have instead of just watching your special on Netflix.
Oh, that's right.
God, this is cart before the horse stuff.
Next time I'm here, we'll be promoting that off of the success of these catchphrases.
We're right across the street over here.
Why don't you just head on over there?
I will.
And just say like, hey.
Say Adam Catenhall a third time, I'll vanish and head over to Netflix.
Please. Say Scott Ackerman sent me. I did hear that you know they're very proud of
their their waiting room over there at Netflix. Because it has moving images
throughout it. It's like every wall is a huge TV screen that creates an
environment which is representative
of some of their shows and every 15 minutes
it changes into it.
So you'll be out there.
Just like their home menu.
Yeah, you'll be out there on the Daredevil rooftops
or whatever and occasionally you'll see them swinging by
and you'll go, hey, Hornhead.
But I heard that if any of their creators
ever take a meeting over there,
they will cycle through their particular project
in order to give them a little thrill like, oh wow, like if they ever see a name of someone who
made something, I have to say I've never seen a between two things thing over there, not once.
That's going to be a weird thing when at the end of the meeting they're like, we're going to pass,
and they've just propped you up with all of your stuff on the way in.
Yeah.
We like that old stuff better.
Yeah.
Well, this is great.
Check that out on Saddle Creek or Record or whatever it is.
And Adam, Kate, and Holland, anything in the pipeline
that we need to talk about?
New podcast, The Grolix Saves the World,
with me and my Grolix buddies.
What is this now?
This is a lovely little podcast for me and my two friends,
Ben Roy and Andrew Overdahl.
Both have been on the show, maybe, I know Andrew has.
Maybe not Ben, I can't remember.
They have.
They have three of you?
Okay, great.
We better ourselves through passive aggressive
self-help challenges.
So we identify a problem with each other
and we set out to fix it each episode.
Okay, so if there's a problem, yo, you'll fix it.
Exactly. Okay. so if there's a problem, yo, you'll fix it. Exactly.
Okay.
Yep.
Great.
All right, well, what a wonderful plug
to end this segment on.
Really ended on a high note.
Yeah, before we get into the next one,
it's cool if I bring my purple in here.
Yes, all right.
Yeah, it is, it's leading the pack.
It really is.
You know what, before we take a break,
why don't we go to our next guest?
Sure. Why don't we do that? Absolutely. That would be fun. You know, we still got a little
time here before we need to take a break. So why don't we talk to her? She is a retiree. Please
welcome Sherry Barrels. Sherry Barrels is here and I am so sorry I just came from a class. I'm sorry,
I just came from a class. You came from a class? Yeah, I just came from a class. I'm sorry, I just came from a class. You came from a class?
Yeah, I just came from a class. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.
What are you apologizing for?
I'm coming in kind of a little higgly-biggly. I want to take off my puffy jacket. I want to
just put down my three drinks. I just want to get settled.
When you said puffy jacket, you're not lying. I mean, that is very puffy and multi-colored
and there appears to be sparkles on it. It's a great jacket. You know what? I got it for my niece
and she didn't like it, so I kept it. And I like that. How old is your niece? She's 14, so she's
impossible to buy for. That is an interesting style of clothing, things that can be worn by
you know, 10 to 14 year olds or elderly women?
Well, you know, elderly, Scott, hold your tongue.
I beg your pardon.
What is age?
Hold it, thank you.
I'm just your aunt who recently retired
and is coming from a class.
Okay, not my aunt, but.
Just your aunt, recently retired, coming from a class.
The royal aunt. The royal aunt, real quick, coming from a class. The royal aunt.
The royal aunt, real quick, coming from a class.
Today was such a remarkable class, Scott.
What class are you coming from?
So, you know, a lot of people, they wish they were young again.
Oh, they idolized their 20s.
They put it up on a pedestal.
Nostalgia, they call it.
That's right.
It comes from the Greek.
And they, me, after my whole life
I always wanted to be retired.
You know why?
Why is that?
Because I knew I'd finally have time to take some classes.
Oh, broaden your minds.
Adam, you ever take any of these classes
at the community college or anything like that?
I've been dying to.
I don't have the time.
Don't have the time?
We're working.
You're working on your comedy.
Exactly.
I do whatever this is. I take two classes at the community center. Today I came from a class at. I need to retire. Don't have the time. We're working. You're working on your comedy. Exactly.
I do whatever this is.
I take two classes at the community center.
Today I came from a class at the rec center.
Whoa.
Yeah.
And today was a class about making your own mosaics.
Making your own mosaics.
Making your own mosaics, Scott.
This would be hard to make someone else's.
That's right.
Unless you sold it to them.
I guess so.
And then it becomes their mosaic.
And isn't that just like a mosaic? That's sort of like that's perfect because I don't know what
you mean. Well you know mosaic takes a bunch of unrelated parts and puts them
together into something new. Right. And if I put my parts in then I gave it to you
well all of a sudden it's kind of your part. I know this sounds like a me too
situation you giving me your parts. I don't think so Scott. I'll let you know.
Okay let me know. I'll let you know. I took a class on that. Oh you did? I'll let you know.
Yeah I'm Sherry Barrels, your aunt who came from a class. You have a by the way
you have a great Flintstones name. Oh do I? Yeah I think isn't barrel a rock? Oh
you know I always thought of my name more as like oh oh this this Spanish
galleon went down and we got a bunch of barrels of
sherry, a bunch of sherry barrels.
Oh, it's barrels as in B-A-R-R-E-L-S.
That's right.
Oh, not B-E-R-Y-L-S.
No, no, sherry barrels like, oh, what is this?
A vermouth?
Like a bonanza.
We found all these barrels of sherry.
That's right.
Hooray.
Oh, hooray, sherry barrels.
Have you had any cocktails with sherry?
Have I what? Have I any cocktails with sherry? Yeah, have you ever tried, sherry barrels. Have you had any cocktails with sherry? Have I, what?
Have I any cocktails with sherry?
Yeah, have you ever tried a sherry cocktail?
Oh, I, oh, I believe so.
Oh, sorry, what about you young man?
You ever tried a sherry cocktail?
I don't know if I have.
What's a cocktail that has sherry in it?
I'm struggling with this one.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you know, you can put them in,
sometimes you can mix them with wine themselves.
You can have it just on the rocks, you know, it depends on what kind of sherry
We're working with a red bull and sherry. Sure. Okay, that's fun. I'll do that
I'm sure a type of a cooking wine. It can be you can have a cooking sherry, but you can just sip on a sherry
It's related to a vermouth. So I don't know you could try to make a martini with it. I'm not saying it'd be good
I'm gonna ask my friend Padre. He's in my
women's studies class at the community college. I'm gonna see and he is also a
bartender. Well, sorry. Padre is a bartender. That's right. Yeah. And so I'm gonna ask
him. Can I ask him right now? Is Padre his first name or his last name?
Because I know someone with a last name of Padre. I thought it was a San Diego
Padre. I thought it was a priest. I can I ask him right now? Yeah, please. Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna send him a whatsapp one second. Are you going through whatsapp?
Do you need some secure messaging system?
I don't know my niece put it on my phone a few years ago to bond and I haven't taken it off
Okay, all right, and then you know Padre he kind of made fun of it. He said oh whatsapp
Were you a British tween and I said, oh, thanks for talking to me.
And I...
Oh, that's so nice that you thank people for,
you didn't thank me for talking to you
when I introduced you, but...
Oh, I'm sorry, Scott.
Thanks for talking to me.
My pleasure.
It is our pleasure to talk to people
of all stars and stripes across America,
because this is America's podcast.
That's what I heard.
They listen to it in Costa Rica.
They certainly do.
Central America.
Central America.
Of course.
Of course.
Have you finished with your message to Pottery?
Yeah, but you know what?
I think he's in another class right now,
so it might be a second.
How old of a gentleman is Pottery, if I may ask?
He's 20.
He's 20?
And he's a bartender at 20.
Oh, maybe he's 21.
Okay.
Maybe he's only a bar back.
Oh yeah, they let them bar back
at their latest 13.
We have that sort of grace period
of like five minutes before the professor gets there
for us to chat.
Okay.
So you gotta compress a lot of conversation.
He gotta compress a lot.
So he said bar and maybe you just jumped to conclusions.
I might've just jumped to a conclusion.
Oh shoot, should I apologize to him?
Yeah, probably.
Okay, hang on, can I do it right now?
Yeah, please, yeah. Okay, I'm gonna- I am interviewing you, so I- I'm? Yeah, probably. Okay, hang on. Can I do it right now? Yeah, please. Yeah.
I am interviewing you, so I...
I'm gonna go into WhatsApp.
It's okay. I would love for you at some point to look up from your phone
and actually engage me in a conversation.
I know this needs to be done, so go ahead.
Okay, it's done.
Okay, you've already done it.
Yeah, that was me fret typing.
So what did you used to do before you retired?
Yeah, I was the secretary for a middle school.
Oh, you were?
Yeah.
A secretary?
You know, the front desk person, sometimes called the office lady, sometimes just called
hey!
You know?
Right, yeah.
You know when a 13 year old just comes by and says hey!
And you're like, you get back here, Ben Hadland.
You refer to me, my Mrs. Barrell.
Mrs. Barrell, are you a Mrs?
Are you actually?
I am a Mrs, yeah.
Yeah, you're married.
And to whom are you married?
My husband, Gregory, 34 years.
34 years old?
No, we've been married for 34 years.
Oh, okay, I was gonna say.
First you're calling me elderly,
and then, oh, I guess you're saying Gregory is 34.
I was saying he was young, yeah. I was saying, good for you. There I go jumping then, oh, I guess you're saying Gregor used 34.
I was saying good for you.
There I go jumping to conclusions again.
I think you need to apologize to me.
I'm sorry Scott. I'm gonna open my WhatsApp.
Scott, do you have a WhatsApp?
I do, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Feel free to reach out.
Okay, okay.
And you know his phone number, so.
Yeah, I heard it.
Yeah, I put it out earlier.
You know what?
I wanted to just say, I think, don't lean into the horn.
You know, I feel like the air horn had a time
and I feel like 1920s cars, they make us nervous.
Okay.
The air horn had a time.
You know, eh, eh, eh.
Oh sure, the sort of DJ air horn.
That definitely had a renaissance.
Before I retired, a lot of the kids
at Tuffery Middle School would walk by and just go,
eh, eh, eh, and I'd say, it's Mrs. Barrels.
Well, this is, we are coming up on a break, if you don't mind, Mrs. Barrels.
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
I have plenty more I wanted to ask you about.
Great.
Including all of your classes and what you've learned.
Oh, so many classes.
I would imagine.
But we do need to take a break.
Can you hype anything to get people to come back on the other side of this?
I'd love to.
One of the classes I took involved fire.
Whoa, one of the elements!
Cool.
One of the five elements.
Hachi chachi.
The fifth element, of course, is love.
All right, well, we need to take a break.
When we come back we're gonna hear all about this incredible fire class.
Ooh, cats.
Maybe it was a class to make fire.
But it wasn't.
It was not.
It was not.
It was not.
But it incorporated fire in some manner.
That's right.
All right, wonderful.
When we come back, yes Adam?
I was just gonna say, and remember you can't spell laugh until you have a bellyache.
I don't know.
Without a C-H.
After the break.
That one doesn't even make sense.
After the break.
After the break.
All right, we're gonna take a break.
When we come back, we will have more
from Adam Caton-Holland, we'll have more from Sherry Barrels,
we'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. B here with Adam Caton Holland.
He just reached for his water and the break ended.
Feel free to go ahead.
No, I blew it.
I had it in a window and I shook the water.
You had a window while we were selling all those products, but if you want to, you can
bring some of that H2O and mix it in with the H2O in your body if you want to.
Thanks, Scott.
Hey, boys, I'm sorry I didn't ask you this.
Do either of you want a snack?
What do you have?
I mean it kind of depends on what you have.
I have salt and pepper cashews.
I have some-
Salt and pepper cashews.
Yeah, I have some dried apricots.
And I have, well, this string cheese, this ice pack didn't last as long as I thought
it would.
So I, it's not going to be bad, but-
It's room temperature?
It won't be pleasant.
Sort of warm string cheese? It's a warm string cheese
It's gonna taste more like the inside of a stuffed crust
So I'm gonna say I wish I hadn't even told you about the string cheese
Yeah, I want that string cheese though, but I want it. I want it a little cooler. You can have the string cheese
I'll go for the dried apricots if that's yeah, Yeah, is it okay? Can you cool that down, that string cheese for me?
I can, oh, I can try.
Yeah, is there any way, what would your method be?
Well, I probably would take it out of its wrapper
and put it directly on the ice pack.
Okay, that sounds great.
Cool that string cheese down for me.
Okay, I'm gonna cool that stringing down for you, Scott.
Okay, yeah, appreciate that.
Coming right up.
I like cheese that is in two dimensional shapes.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like lines.
Yeah, what about a ray?
A ray?
Yeah, how would you feel about a ray?
What do you mean by that?
You know, one fixed point and it goes onward towards infinity.
Oh, I thought you had a friend named Ray.
I'm sorry, I took a geometry class.
Oh, you did.
An infinite ray of cheese?
You know what I loved about geometry?
And I was like, let me go back and see if I still like it.
It's math with writing.
I always thought that was neat.
With writing meaning like creative writing or?
Well, you write those proofs and you're like,
let me use my little, I have to use words.
Here, I thought this was going to be all numbers.
Math primarily is numbers as well as symbols.
That's right. And then suddenly you're writing English words. Suddenly you're
scribing down theorems. Did you remember that? Because I'd forgotten a lot of
this until I went back and took a class. Sure, theorems and corollaries. That's
right! Absolutely. Very good. Which type of math is this again? Geometry. Geometry. As I recall, a squared plus
b squared equals c squared. Is that part of it?
Oh, you know it is, Scott.
You don't need to do a refresher.
Yeah.
That was all of it?
Really?
I don't need to do a refresher?
Well, that's a big part of it.
Yeah, no refresher if you can still remember that.
That's like 75% of geometry?
That's most of it.
You know, it's not trig.
I'm not doing calculus.
Geometry is a lot of like, hey, it's a parallelogram, but not necessarily a square.
You know?
Yeah. All the squares, they all add up to, what are we talking, 360 degrees?
All the corners?
That's right.
All right.
Very good, Scott.
ACH, do you have anything to add?
You get into that quadratic formula in geometry or what?
You kiss it.
You kiss it.
You just tangentially approach it.
You just brush its lips?
It's sort of like the cliffhanger I gave the listeners
before the break. Oh, that's right. That's right. To get you hooked on more math classes. That's right, I totally
forgot about that cliffhanger and how could I when it was so exciting. You took a class that incorporated
fire. That's right, Scott. And will you reveal that class to the listeners and both ACH and myself
that class to the listeners and both ACH and myself, probably around now?
I will.
The class was, can you believe it, glass blowing.
Glass blowing.
Glass blowing.
So guess what?
Sherry Barrels made herself a sherry bottle.
You did?
Yeah, and I don't know how to make sherry,
so I just buy sherry and put it in it. So that would be- Wow, you didn't take a sherry making class. No, not- How don't know how to make sherry so I just buy sherry and put it in it.
Wow, you didn't take a sherry making class? How would you know how to make it? That's right, good one Scott.
How would you even make sherry? You'd like leave out some cherries or something? It's like a fortified wine I think sort of.
What does that mean? You know like a port or... Sure but how do you even make port? Fortified, it's within the castle walls, you protect it.
Yeah, you make it real secure.
Don't lower the drawbridge.
Yeah, you give it a ring, and you say,
you're safe, because I got you on film.
You fortify that one.
So you obviously did not take a winemaking class.
No, no, no, nor a wine education class.
Okay, but you did take this glass blowing,
tell us all about it.
I mean, this is an ancient art, certainly.
I don't know if glass existed before.
We knew how to blow it or whether people were like,
hey, look at that glass.
I wonder if we could blow it.
I don't, I mean, maybe you know this in the class.
Okay, that's a great question.
So actually there is no glass before.
Heat could be, you know, it's just hot sand.
It is, it's hot sand.
It's hot, hot sand.
Now I've gone to the beach with hot sand before.
It needs to be much hotter.
Much hotter than the human, or Earth, I guess,
or in the Americas, can heat up.
That's right.
Although can it heat up to, how hot does it have to be?
Oh, Scott, it needs to be many degrees in Celsius.
Many in Celsius.
I'll tell you what, with global warming the way it is,
all of our beaches are probably gonna turn to glass
at some point.
Can you imagine just you're in a spaceship
and you're tootling around this Milky Way
and you see a planet and it's all glass
and you're just like, this looks like a diamond.
It's beautiful.
I think you guys need to be careful
to not make climate change sound too awesome.
But I mean, if you were an alien,
it would be fucking awesome.
That would be so beautiful.
It really would.
Just glass meeting an ocean.
Just reflecting.
And like you can see Mars in the reflection.
Oh my gosh, I love it.
And it's like, ooh, look at that.
Look at our spaceship.
It looks so cool.
No one talks about how beautiful it all could be.
It could be so pretty.
It's all doomsday stuff.
Glass can happen from lightning hitting some sand on a beach.
Get out of here. Yeah, really now.
Yeah, so that's hot enough.
So how much glass would that take?
So if I wanted some glass and I was like,
I don't know how to make it.
I don't know how to heat up this sand.
But maybe I'll just stand on the beach
and wait for lightning to hit it.
How much glass would I have?
You'd have about a small ashtray worth.
Really, that's not bad.
Yeah.
For a smoker like me?
Five packs a day?
This guy, uh-oh.
Scott, tell me that's not true.
Why would that not be true?
Well, cause you know, sometimes when our teacher
had like, was home sick,
I would sub for the health class at the middle school.
So I can give you a lot of facts.
Oh, you can't, okay.
But by all means, go ahead.
Good luck.
He's heard every argument.
And he ain't quitting.
Yeah, word of mouth.
There's no way that I'm quitting.
Fact one, it's bad.
Wait, it is?
Yeah.
Why the hell am I doing it?
I don't know, Scott.
Fact two, it's cool.
That's why you're doing it. That's why you're doing it.
That's why you're doing it.
Oh, that's right.
Okay, those balance each other out.
It's cool only on a plane that we've moved past.
Oh, okay.
It's only laterally cool.
So, honestly...
So, it's not a ray?
No.
Okay.
By the way, did you ever get Padre's name?
Padre's last name?
Last name, first name?
You didn't know.
No, he's still in his journalism class.
Oh, it's a journalism class.
That's the class he's in, not the one that we take together, which is women's studies.
The way that Padre and I first started talking is I sat down and I said, time to study myself!
And he was the only one that laughed without any tone of derision, and I thought, that's
a nice young man.
Was it an uncomfortable laugh, like I'm going to fill the silence?
No, everyone else did that, and kind of went, oh boy, who's this old lady?
And Padre went, that was pretty funny.
Oh, he did? Okay. 20 year old bar back. Thought it was pretty funny.
He thought it was pretty funny.
And now he's taking a journalism class. Is he learning how not to bury the lead?
He's taking a full, you know, you know, he's taking a full load of classes. Whereas I'm just a retiree who's dabbling.
Sherry Barrels, your aunt who just came from a class.
Okay, right, but not my aunt.
No, no, no. So he's the one who told me the term
journalistic you though, because I was like, I'm just your aunt who came from a
class and he's like, you're not my aunt and I said, well there's got to be some
other and he's like, oh it's like a journalistic you. Oh wow, what a great guy.
I wish we knew his other names. Yeah, or maybe Pottery is a nickname? We don't know.
I think it's just his first name. You think it's his first name? Yeah.
Yeah. Or maybe a nickname though. Like maybe, you know, he gave out some sort of, you know,
theological advice at some point.
You know what? He's obsessed with wearing Mandarin collars. Maybe people are ribbing
him for that.
Hmm.
I'm still not convinced it's not San Diego Padre, Eric Hosmer. It could very well be
the first baseman, Eric Hosmer of the Padres.
It could be.
Is he 20 years old and a bar back?
He could be.
He could be.
He very well could.
We don't know.
San Diego?
You watch one of those baseball games, they last three and a half hours sometimes.
They never talk about their other jobs.
Well, and they're always going down to the dugout disappearing for an hour on end.
What do you think he is?
What is a dugout if not a bar back?
What is a dugout if not a bar back?
Yeah.
Okay. Can I write that down as a potential catchphrase?
I would be honored.
What is a dugout if not a bar back?
Okay, now we got 10 choices.
So you've made one thing in your glass blowing class.
That's right.
The sherry bottle.
A sherry bottle.
But you had to buy sherry in order to fill it up.
That's right.
Does that feel sort of like a bait and switch to you
of like, I got this great bottle,
but it can't just be a bottle.
Well, I now use the sherry bottle as a vase.
You do.
Yeah.
So the sherry is totally gone.
How long did it take you to drink the sherry?
Well, no, I put, okay, the sherry, the sherry bottle that I got the store.
Yeah.
That one is a vase.
I used some.
That's a vase.
So you have two bottles.
So you made a bottle, but then you had to buy another bottle in order to fill that bottle.
A bottle with sherry.
And now you had to then buy flowers to put into that bottle.
Yeah, right now it has...
What did the flowers come in?
Uh, the flowers came in brown paper.
Brown paper. What'd you do with that?
Well with that, I made a little puppet for my niece.
And did she like it as much as the jacket?
Not the 14-year-old one.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
Younger?
Younger, yeah. Okay. This one is six and I made it from Ryan's world
What is Ryan's world? I don't want to tell you
Don't want to tell you Ryan's he's a millionaire kid on YouTube
Well, it just seems like this has created so much more trouble for you
Although I guess at the end of it you have a wonderful puppet show for your six-year-old niece.
Yeah, I think it's alright. And you know when people come over...
And you're drunk and you...
I'm sipping on the sherry.
And your house smells like flowers.
I'm sipping on the sherry.
So this is a happy ending.
It's a happy ending.
Alright, wonderful.
Well look, sherry, and again, it is not like the Flintstones name,
where it would be B-E-R-Y-L-S.
No, it's like the way you'd go down
Niagara Falls. Right, if you were some sort of stunt performer. If you were some kind
of daredevil. Or suicidal. A C H. Okay bud, okay. Just saying there's a lot of ways to
go over them falls. That's true. Would you go in a barrel in that scenario? Yeah, I think
you would just take a header right off using your...
Nah, you might as well just gamble.
You want a little bit of protection?
You know how it's gonna wind up, but there's a chance.
The way that struck me to my core when he said that is kinda like how I felt when I
was listening to 2006 era Bride Ice.
Thank you. There's a pathos underlying all of this.
Yeah, that was some real I wanna love her, I don't have to love stuff right over there.
It's the siren song to Saddle Creek.
Well look, Sherry, hang tight if you could,
because we have to get to our next guest,
if that's all right.
Hang tight, I might take a surfing class later!
That would be hang tight.
But you'll learn that on the first day, I would imagine.
Let us introduce him, he is a trainer.
Oh, I know this person, he's been on the show before.
He's not a physical trainer, he is a Pokemon trainer. Please this person he's been on the show before he's not a physical trainer he is a Pokemon trainer please welcome back to
the show Dash grab him. Oh Scott! Oh you're yelling too. Oh every day that's how you
greet each other in my world you scream at each other from about 20 feet apart
and then you battle. Well we're not gonna battle because we're friends right? Yes.
We've never battled is that correct? We have never battled you to my knowledge don't have any Pokemon with you. I carry no Pokemon
neither on my person nor do I have any at home if you're thinking about
Performing some sort of a B&E on my house, but bagels and eggs. I
Don't believe so. By the way, this is Adam. Hi Adam. Hello. He likes to be known as ACH.
Yeah.
Which may tie into something he may say at some point.
Okay.
Oh, you're looking for a catchphrase.
I am.
I get that.
There's a bunch of catchphrases in my world too.
Oh yeah, like.
There's a famous one that's,
you are my selection.
And then you throw a Pokemon.
That's a pretty good one.
Yeah.
It's not bad.
Maybe if I was to yell that out at my shows,
I'd certainly get the Pokemon people on board.
You.
Get them to battle you for sure.
Are my selection.
Oh, that means you're battling at that point.
If someone chooses a Pokemon that you throw a Pokemon
and you yell, you are my selection.
People are not selecting Pokemons and not battling
is what you're saying.
It would be weird for me to be like,
this is the Pokemon I choose to do nothing with.
Right, just to hang out.
You don't hang out with your Pokemon?
I do, but really there's only three that I hang out with.
Who do you hang out with?
Okay, well there's Aqua Palo, who's an Italian magician who I recently discovered also has
a military background, which freaked me out a little bit, but there you go.
So there's that one.
And what does he look like?
Aqua Palo is a sort of an Italian lizard who is blue
and stands on two legs, used to be a small frog,
got much bigger and more humanoid
than he was when I first got him.
And he grew in the, what do you call your container?
He evolves twice.
He evolved twice, but-
In a Pokeball.
No, no. In the Pokeball.
No, he did it outside of it.
I watched him do it both times. They're in a field of stasis in the Pokeball, is, no. In the Pokeball. No, he did it outside of it. I watched him do it both times.
They're in a field of stasis in the Pokeball,
is that correct?
They're time locked, as I understand it.
It's sort of like suspended animation.
Yes, which is convenient because if they weren't,
it is a sort of torture, right?
Sure, but they have no cognizance
or are they aware of time passing?
Nope, nothing.
Nothing, so it's just-
No one in there once, nothing.
So it's just a blip and it's like no time has passed
when you go in and then you come out.
No, it's like take your timeline,
it's a big roll of, what's a big thing you can roll?
Or like a two dimensional-
Fruit by the foot.
Like a ray.
Like a ray, a fruit by the foot
that goes off in one direction for forever.
Oh, because one is in your mouth.
That's right.
One direction, that's reminding me of Niall. Oh my. Is he your fan? Alright, nevermind. Are you getting flush thinking
about his slow hands and the sweat dripping off of his dirty laundry? I've got a river
for a heart. So there is no time elapses. Yes, you want to say something? I have several
nephews that also like Pokemon and I also have one nephew who likes something called Bakugan.
Bakugan, what is that?
It seems like Pokemon, but instead you can have
a small round toy that's not the round toy of a Pokeball.
Oh, so it's an off-brand Pokemon.
Yeah, definitely.
Bakugan, is that what this comes?
Yeah, there was a time in my life where I spent
a whole weekend only hearing about Bakugan.
Well, that must be fun for you, because I can imagine as an elderly woman you're lonely
and don't have a lot of companionship.
Scott, hold your tongue.
I have a very full life with my husband Gregory and my new friend Padre.
So Padre's already incorporated into your wonderful full life.
Well, you know, he will one day.
He's the promise of tomorrow and I have, you know, so many nieces and nephews.
I love how you mentioned your husband and Padre instead of all of your
nieces and nephews. I have so many I'm your aunt come on. What about children?
No no children myself. Oh I'm so sorry. Or it's great. No it's chill. It's chill.
Padre talks like that. That's very cool. Thanks yeah. So Dash who are the other
two Pokemon that you hang out with? There's Trisha. Trisha.
Trisha.
What is Trisha's deal?
Trisha is a electric poison spike monster.
Electric poison spike monster.
What does Trisha look like
and why do you like to hang out with her?
I like to hang out with her
because she plays the base real good.
She plays the base real good?
She plays it so good that it blows other Pokemon up.
Oh, okay. That's her power. That's her thing. Wow. Wow. Trisha plays the base real good? She plays it so good that it blows other Pokemon up. Oh, okay.
That's her power.
That's her thing.
Wow.
Wow.
Trisha plays the base.
But the powerful baseline that blows up Pokemon has no effect on you?
So far, no.
I mean, it probably wouldn't have aimed it at me, but they don't because they can only
attack other Pokemon.
I think we've talked about this before.
Yeah.
How do you ensure that?
I mean, it's sort of honor code, I guess.
The people that use their Pokemon against people are criminals in my world. Is this like a
do no harm AI situation? What? Is this like a do no harm AI situation? What? Aeoli incense?
Eggs and bagels? Is this a do no harm AI situation? Oh like you program a robot and one of its
directors is to do no harm? That's right. No, I think they're just pretty much agree like Pokemon.
They're just agreeable types? Yeah, they're mostly agreeable types. Well, and
they're all probably very young because they only have a little bit of time
outside the Pokeball, right? Yeah, I never thought about that. So their
cognizance, their emotional development is probably their, they've
only spent a few days outside. They're like babies. Sure, I mean, well like
animals in your world, I think they probably grow at a faster rate, right?
Like you have like dog years,
like you would call a dog old if it was 19,
but by human standards, that's not very old.
That'd be a very old dog.
That's a great point.
I took a zoology class and you know,
most like prey animals,
they can walk as soon as they come out of the womb,
basically a little wobbly,
but then they can get going.
They just stand right up.
Our animals, as soon as they come out of the womb, can blast you with fire and they can get going. They just stand right up. As soon as they come out of the womb can blast you with fire and thunder and lightning and
ice.
Like that immediately.
So now let's talk about this third Pokemon that you like hanging out with.
Zigzagoon.
Zigzagoon?
Zigzagoon.
Okay, tell us about Zigzagoon.
He's a little black and white badger dog with stars on his eyes.
He's not really good at battling.
Stars for eyes or stars on his eyes?
Around it.
Stars in his eyes?
Think like the band Kiss in his eyes, yeah.
He's just a good bud.
And he is a good bud to you.
Oh yeah, he's great.
All right, and why do you hang out with those three
and not the rest?
Because you have, how many Pokemons do you have?
I let the rest go.
I let them all go on a pretty...
You let them all go?
That's right.
On a pretty, like pretty frequently. Because you... And then I forget the ones I have, so I let the rest go. I let them all go. You let them all go? That's right! Pretty frequently.
And then I forget the ones I have, so I let them go.
I had a Blastoise for a while.
I think last time I was here.
Andy Richter, I believe, was one of my Pokémon.
That's right.
I had a Charmander, who was an Arsonist.
I had a Ghost, who was very scary.
For a while I only kept one that were criminals
and we had a sort of like suicide squad operation going on.
Oh, right, and how did you get them to obey your directives?
It was like, sort of, I had a-
So the suicide squad, you know,
they have those collars around their necks
where if they disobeyed any order,
and this is a spoiler alert for Suicide Squad,
I'm gonna cover my ears. Okay, but they would press a button and Amanda Waller,
their heads would just explode. That's not suicide, that's murder. That's murder,
they should have called it murder squad. Unless they're pressing the button on their own. Or at least manslaughter squad, although I don't know if, you know, because it was a military
operation, if whether they could be charged even, although it was off the books.
So if there was congressional oversight over it, then perhaps the books, what does that
make you think of nothing really?
Then why did you say it like that?
The books.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Good to say.
Maybe it feels like drop the the, you know.
Yeah, maybe think about that for later on in the show though.
If I talk to Padre about Suicide Squad,
would he think it was cool?
He's 20 and a barbeque, yeah.
Okay. He would love it.
Okay.
Can I ask a question?
Yeah.
How do you tell the difference between your police officers?
Well, they have badge numbers, which if you take it down
Is always a fun thing to say like let me see your badge number and then nothing ever happens to them
It's a jurisdiction over different areas
Yeah, that's how I've been sort of keeping track except that all the police officers in my world look exactly the same and they're all
Named Jenny and they're all cousins. They're all cousins to each other. Yep
Interesting, they're all officer Jenny officer they're all cousins. They're all cousins to each other? Yep. Interesting.
And they're all Officer Jenny.
Officer Jenny.
Can I be real?
They're every single one, it's like a GG smoke show.
What?
Whoa!
That's some residual Valentine's Day energy.
Dash, aren't you just a 12 year old boy?
Didn't we establish that early?
I am not just a 12 year old boy, Scott.
I am a 12 year old boy.
So you are really coming into your own here. You're interested in one of the Officer Jennys?
I'm interested in all of the Officers Jennys.
Do they say that they're cousins? At the same time?
Well I had to ask because I saw an Officer Jenny and I was like, oh my gosh, I just saw you back in Pallet Town.
She's like, I don't work in Pallet Town. My cousin works in Pallet Town.
And it happened over and over and over again.
So you, instead of getting to know one of them,
you want to take on all of them at the same time.
I have a niece, Jenny.
Is she a cop?
No, she's a, she's-
She has to say so.
No, she's not.
She has to tell us if she's a cop.
She's studying anthropology at Dartmouth.
What's that?
It's the study of ancient civilizations.
Is there an ancient civilization where you're from?
Because it seems like these Pokemon are primordial forces
that-
Have been around for a long time.
Yeah, and they harness all of the elements.
We talked about the five earlier.
Oh no, there's way more.
Well, I guess you have elements.
We have more than you do.
What are yours?
Well, we have air, water, earth, fire, and love.
Right, also flying. Also ground. Flying is yours? Well, we have air water earth fire and love also flying also flying is an element
Also darkness also fairy
plant earth
metal
We mention all these
Air wind love water oxygen. Okay, look air
ghost Water, oxygen, air. Ghost. Ghosts.
The ghost element. That's an element.
Dragon. Spectral.
Ghosts.
We call it ghosts.
Haunting. Mr. Barrels, we call it ghosts.
Oh, OK.
You have a lot of cool things out there in your world.
Where do you come from again?
I'm from the Kanto region.
The Kanto region. Yes, of course.
Yeah, no, we have ancient stuff.
There's like a Pokemon that said to be the beginning
of all Pokemon and we tried to-
Pokemon Prime?
Kind of, more or less.
Patient Zero Pokemon?
Yeah, it's called Mew and we tried to clone it
and it did not go well.
Really?
Yeah, we made Mewtwo and then Mewtwo sort of ran amok
and well, killed a bunch of people, Scott.
Oh no.
People, not other Pokemon? Humans, I mean, they don bunch of people, Scott. People? Not other Pokemon?
Humans, I mean, they don't show it,
but the facility where they worked blew up.
Mewtwo did not have do no harm.
Oh no, not Jenny, I hope.
Well, I mean, I hope not, but also, how would I know?
There's so many of them.
Nurses are the same, by the way.
Nurses?
All the nurses are named Joy.
Pokemon nurses, not human nurses in the hospital.
But where does Joy, all the Joy's rather?
At the Pokemon Center of each individual place.
Which is free.
Let me finish.
Healthcare for all!
How do they rate on the smoke show scale?
Also, I feel bad numerically rating women,
but all 10s.
Really?
And these are like California 10s? Yeah, well, they're Kanto 10s. These, but all 10s. Really? Yeah.
And these are like California 10s?
Yeah.
Well, they're Canto 10s.
These are not Cincinnati 10s.
Um, I guess they're Canto 10s, they're Unova 10s.
Okay.
They're...
Joy's and Jenny's both hit 10?
They're both, they're just beautiful women.
My nephew Dominic is dating a lady named Joy.
Oh really?
She was at Thanksgiving.
Oh, congrats. Wait, I got one. And I love all of them. And I love all of them. And I love all of them. And I love all of them. Oh really?
She was at Thanksgiving.
Oh congrats.
Wait, I got one.
Oh yes, we liked her.
She was kind of quiet, but we thought, okay,
jury's still out, but it's looking good.
What about this one?
You can't reach the Cantu region without A-C-H.
I feel like a lot of these catchphrases
are getting pretty Pokemon specific.
Yeah.
And that's good.
Yeah.
I mean, let's just slow. Take the Pokemon out of it out of it fight me coward and I'll grind you into the dirt now
We're talking now here we go fight me coward and I'll ground you into the dirt
Can I bring my Snorlax on stage?
You're what now?
Slow acts Snorlax Snorlax on stage? Slowax?
Snorlax?
Snorlax.
Big sleepy bear.
Blocks roads.
Gotta wake it up with a flute.
Dash, I mean you're a 12 year old boy.
Sure am Scott!
It sounds like Jenny and Joy, they're both professional women.
Maybe you'd have more luck dating one of your Pokemon.
Or does that feel weird dating what is essentially
a slave to you?
I don't know, Scott, you wanna...
It'd work for Jefferson.
You dated a lot of cats and dogs in iguanas?
You dated a lot of cats and dogs in iguanas?
They're all animals?
I mean, yeah, more or less.
Do you know any 12 year old girls that play Pokemon?
I know.
Okay, he's not asking for himself, by the way.
No, I'm taken, sorry, happily taken. That's maybe a good one, and I asking for himself, by the way. No, I'm taken. Sorry, happily taken.
That's maybe a good one, and I'm not asking for myself. And you don't ever relate it to anything.
By the way, that is not a good defense. I'm taken. I'm taken. You're not interested at all.
If there were any 12 year old girls that were interested, I'm taken. I'm sorry. I'm taken.
There were a couple other young people
that I was journeying with for a while.
There was a girl named Moisty.
She was 14.
Moisty.
I mean, this sounds promising right off the bat.
I mean, she trained exclusively water type Pokemon.
Oh, OK.
But that's not an animal, water type Pokemon, right?
I mean, we don't have the word.
I'm trying to translate for it.
We don't have the word animal in our world.
Oh, okay, creature maybe?
Sure, yeah.
You have that one.
Subjugated being for battle.
Okay, I see.
And sometimes fun, and sometimes crime.
SBBs.
So what happened to Moisty?
Did you keep in touch?
I still see her now and again.
I don't know that she likes me very much.
She's 14 and I'm 12 and at this particular thing,
that's just a huge age gap to traverse.
Yeah, but the officer's Jenny,
they must be at least 18, right?
I mean, they had to have gone through Quantico
and the whole training course.
I don't know, I never asked.
That's a chasm, that's a chasm, Scott.
I get so nervous when I talk to any of them.
When I was a secretary at Tufferin Middle School,
it's like a sixth grader's not gonna go out
with an eighth grader, Scott.
Yeah, but maybe sixth graders had crushes on you.
What is this word you keep using? You worked at a what?
A middle school.
A what?
A middle skew.
See, when we turn 12, we go out into the world and that's it.
And you never turn 13?
No, we turn 13, but like...
You're no longer in school?
I am apparently allowed to just do whatever I want. Oh, that's horrible
Dad all year round
Capturing creatures battle them against each other now that you're free. Have you tried smoking scots a big?
Yeah, hold on. I've heard two things about it one. It's bad. Yeah, too. It's cool
Let me ask you which what do you think?
I think that smoke screen is an effective attack for blocking out others. All right
Well, I got a pack right here
I I gotta say
Yeah, now I'm gonna cool he looks now now smoke all of those in that pack while I watch you and then we'll see if you
Want to smoke?
Don't eat it tastes very good. No, you don't eat them. Dash, don't eat them, sweetheart. I don't think it tastes very good.
No, you don't eat them.
Oh, you know what?
Your string cheese is ready.
Oh, okay.
And, oh, I'm sorry,
I never gave you the apricots, ACH.
And now I've just been waiting patiently for them.
Dash, would you like these salt and pepper cashews?
You can't spell apricots without ACH.
That's for sure.
Could you throw in a curry for me?
Throw these in a curry?
Everyone in my world is eating curry!
A B C! Always be eating curry!
While you get all the food together for us, we do need to take a break if that's okay.
When we come back though, you're going to have a wonderful, slightly cooler string cheese for me.
And we'll have some dried apricots for you and a curry for you apparently
By the way, that's a number 46 for me and you're a number 83 and that's a 72
I can check with the chef. Yeah, just check with the chef. All right, we're gonna be coming right back with more comedy bang bang
We will have Adam Caden Holland sherry, Sherry Barrels and Dash Grabham.
We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back with Adam Catenholland, who is munching on some dried apricots as
we speak.
These are delicious.
Thank you so much.
So dry.
Oh, you're so welcome.
And I've been waiting for that string cheese.
Okay.
Here you go. Okay, here you go.
Okay.
Scott.
Yes.
Are you the type of person who eats it just by biting into it?
Oh, I don't bite into it, no.
You string it?
No, I don't string it.
What do you do?
One gulp.
All the way down the gullet.
Wow!
Like a pelican with a fish
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I have a WhatsApp
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You have a wet what? I have a WhatsApp
Oh, a WhatsApp. Padre is his last name
Whoa! What's his first name?
His first name is... Is it Todd?
No!
It's Montgomery
Montgomery Padre
But it goes by Monty until there were two Monties in his senior class, so he switched
to going by Padre.
There were two Montemgomerys in his senior class.
Can you believe that?
And neither of them wanted to go by their full name, Montgomery.
Well, no, I think Monty, he was like, I don't like it that much.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were both going by Monty.
Yeah, that's right.
After Thanksgiving dinner, I bet he's the full Monty.
You can use that with him.
You think he'll like it?
Well, he seemed to like your first joke.
You think he'll like a reference to a British movie
from the late 90s?
He may.
I guess people also know that that means you're naked.
I don't know if I could say that to Padre.
We also have Dash Grabham.
You ever seen a movie?
You know what we're talking about when we say movie?
Do you have movies in the Kanto region?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Cool.
You know my favorite one?
What's that?
It's the one where there's the growlithe and it plays.
The growlithe?
Oh, I love that movie.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
And it plays basketball.
Yeah, the growlithe, that's the Air Bud 3
starring the growlithe.
There's no law that says a growlithe can't play basketball.
That sounds like a great movie.
It does sound like a great movie.
I think we may be talking about two different things.
Dash, you're on the show and you said
you had an exciting announcement, is that right?
Mm-hmm.
By all means, let us, Terry, no longer.
I have been invited to a vacation resort
Hanging it all up changing my whole deal not being a Pokemon trainer anymore now you have not aged
You say you do age I mean, but you have not aged since we've gotten to know you and that's been 12
Several years as far as I'm concerned, but time seems to work differently here in the studio
I only know how it works for me.
Right.
Are you older now than you were before?
I certainly am. You look the same.
Every second I'm older.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Doesn't that fill you with a terrifying sense
of existential dread?
Oh, definitely.
That you won't continue indefinitely?
Of course, but when you stare into the abyss,
it stares back at you.
When I stare into the abyss, I use light-based attacks.
Okay, well that's probably a good strategy. Strong against darkness, Scott!
But you have not aged yet. Not so far.
But I'd be okay to age a little bit.
How old do you want to get to be? Jenny's age.
How old is Jenny, do you think? Well, she's old enough to be a cop, so... 15?
Look, in the Canto region, who knows? I actually don't know.
Who knows?
It's kind of like a bar back.
You start around 13, 15, if you're a cop.
Yeah, you can do it a little early, yeah.
Especially if you're doing stuff like traffic cops.
For sure, for sure.
Now, who has invited you to this vacation spot?
A raccoon dog.
A raccoon dog.
What is a raccoon dog?
I think some places are called a tanooki.
In some places? Which places are these? The Kanto region?
Yeah.
Wait, that sounds like a Mario guy.
Oh, maybe.
That sounds like a Mario guy, Scott.
Tanooki does?
Yeah, that sounds like a Mario guy.
This all sounds like gibberish to me, so I have no idea what...
When Mario gets to be a cool, fun squirrel that flies?
I don't know when that occurs.
So sometimes Mario puts on a cape and a hat and a suit and he's a cool, fun squirrel that flies? I don't know when that occurs. So sometimes Mario puts on a cape and a hat
and a suit and he's a cool fun squirrel that flies.
You know Mario?
Mario 3, that's where that occurs.
Yeah, Mario is sort of,
Mario's kind of a big deal where I'm from.
In the Canada region?
People know Mario, really?
Does he ever visit?
I mean, if there's a plumbing problem.
How often is that?
Because I know there are a lot of restaurants,
but no one seems to eat.
Yeah, I rarely sleep in a house, so I couldn't tell you.
I spend most of my time in tents.
So there's no sort of plumbing problem where I'm from.
But yeah, I got a letter from a Tanuki that was like,
you get to go on a island vacation.
But then I read it a little bit closer,
and it seems like there's actually nothing on this island,
and you have to go and sort of build it all.
And I'm worried that it's a little bit of a fire fast situation.
It does sound like a trap.
Yeah, it sounds like they're trying to maybe extort you for labor, Dash.
But then he said you get to build your own house.
And then he said you get to sort of design everything on the island.
Okay.
And then he said you get to plant all the trees and get bells.
And I said, what are bells?
And he said, bells are currency. And I said, not where I'm from. And he said, how get to plant all the trees and get bells. And I said, what are bells? And he said, bells are currency.
And I said, not where I'm from.
And he said, how are you talking to me?
This is a letter I've sent you.
And that was sort of the end of that conversation.
The whole communique, yeah.
This is how I feel when I talk to most of my nephews.
And then I want to ask them a couple questions to Bond,
but then I think there's no limit.
Hold on, I have to do the renegade dance
from TikTok real quick.
Yeah, there's just like, there's no way.
Look at Dash doing the Renegade dance.
Oh, it's very good.
It took me so long to learn.
It's really good, sweetheart.
I had to watch a video where someone slowed it down.
Do you know about Beyblades?
Beyblades?
You know about Yo-Kai Watch?
No, I don't.
Sherry is having a meltdown here.
She's never going to know anything you're talking about.
Hold on, I got it though.
I had an idea for you.
Okay.
If you made a haunted house.
Okay.
In a cherry orchard.
Uh-huh.
It could be Sherry Barrel's cherry peril.
This is not bad.
That's very good.
You know what, Scott?
I wanna go ahead, you book me for October
so I can talk about the inevitable Sherry Barrel's
cherry. This is gonna be the Halloween episode
so we're not doing Suicide House anymore,
we're doing Sherry Barrel's Cherry Apparel.
No, no, I'm not here to take anything from anyone.
I just mean, you know, in the month of scares.
Okay. It doesn't need to be the.
What about Sherry Barrel's Cherry Apparel?
I was gonna say you come back in December,
you sing songs about joy.
It could be.
Cheryl's Cherry Apparel.
Mary Carol's.
Wow!
These are good ideas.
Okay, go ahead and book both, Scott.
I'll be here in the month of scares.
I don't know that I was ever gonna have you back.
And in the month of.
But now I'm booking you two more times in the year?
Two more times, and two of them are a little close.
Big holiday shows too.
All right, well look, I mean,
I'll take some feedback from the listeners as well.
Can you forward me any feedback they give about Sherry?
Call me on my number, I will forward it directly to Scott.
I guess just say which of them is more important.
Or.
Sherry Perls or Mary Carols.
During the witching season of Mystics, not October.
That's not October?
The magical season.
Oh, I don't know that we have that.
Spooks and sprites come about.
This is a Kanto thing, I think.
Yeah, this is a Kanto thing.
And there's a bunch of your friends
and you invite them in their names, Darryl,
and you get them all together.
It could be Sherry Barrels, Fairy Darryls.
Yeah.
What about?
I think that's maybe like April during Coachella,
so go ahead and book me for that.
For Coachella as well?
I don't know. That sounds kind of like a music festival.
How do you date a cop, Scott? What are they like?
Well, it's hard dating a cop. I gotta say.
How do you do it?
I gotta say, you spend a lot of nights worrying about your significant other,
worrying they're not going to come home, worrying...
Is there a lot of violence against cops? You mentioned this.
What was it? The me too? No, what was it? The, the.
Mutu. Oh, yeah.
Mutu killed a lot of cops. It's like some sort of cop killer.
That situation is more or less under control. Cops in my world generally stop
Team Rocket, Team Yell, Team Another One That I Forgot,
basically any group of teenagers that decided to all wear the same clothes and do minor crime.
Okay.
That sounds like profiling.
Sometimes it's not even crime.
And honestly, I would have thought so too,
except that it seems like they are now making
an explicit effort to have these teenagers
be from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds.
Oh, smart.
Well, it's funny you mentioned crime.
If you want to catch a cop, perhaps you should commit a crime.
That's right.
And then she would arrest me.
You lure her in, and then there's that ride.
And then there's the joke's on you, you're in love with me now.
It's a rom-com meet-cute.
Yeah.
The criminal she couldn't resist.
It's like, uh.
Joke's on you, now you're in love with me.
How about that?
Yeah, it's like, what?
Oh, is that a good catchphrase?
Joke's on you, now you're in love with me. Now you're in love with me.
It's good because you tell jokes.
How about that?
And she could also say, you're a criminal, but you've stolen my heart.
Oh.
Oh.
Is there a way to summon-
I'm writing this all down.
Summon her here now or does she reside only within the Canto region?
Is there a way to do something wrong and she would, does she have jurisdiction here in
Los Angeles?
I assume not, right?
You have cops here.
We do have cops here.
Can anyone else be like, I'm a cop somewhere else, but I guess I also, I'm a cop here now?
Usually the cops recognize.
I'm actually asking that.
I don't know.
Well, you could do a citizen's, she could do a citizen's arrest.
Look, this is America's podcast and I would assume the Canto region is within America
somewhere.
It has to be.
It sounds like such a wonderful place.
I mean, I'm almost certain that it isn't, but yeah, why not?
Well, let's try to get her here.
Maybe you want to do some sort of minor crime?
Minor crime.
A crime that would leave someone saying...
You are a minor and you're, you know, you're going to do a crime, so maybe that would suffice.
I'll just run some by you and you tell me what these are and if they're a good idea.
Okay. Okay. Vehicular manslaughter. No, no, no. Very aggressive. Manslaughter. You didn't
mean it. Yeah. You don't want that. And this has pre-cog now. So you would not be able
to get manslaughter. Premeditated bank arson. No, no, no. You have to do, this is going
to be hard because it needs to have no sort of forethought and planning,
but we're talking through it.
Unmeditated Bank Arson.
Why don't you steal my phone, wink wink.
Steal your phone.
Wink wink. Wink wink.
Steal my phone, wink wink.
Hello, wink wink the phone, nice to meet you.
Oh, he's very cute.
He reminds me of six of my nephews.
Oh no, my phone! Oh, if only Officer Jenny were here to help!
Get on the ground! I'm getting in a car to drive recklessly into a bank!
It's getting worse! It's getting worse! Officer Jenny!
Officer Jenny! Officer Jenny!
Officer Jenny, are you here? Can you stop this?
Oh, the classic sound of every motorcycle in the Cantor region. Officer Jenny, can you...
Look, that phone, maybe your job isn't to actually retrieve phones that are in toilets
as much as it is to just make sure that the water is flowing properly.
It's a me, Mario.
But maybe you could get that phone.
That's a very...
It's a me, Mario?
Sorry, Scott, if you want to talk to Mario, you have to talk to his hat.
Oh, I'm sorry, okay. Gotta look up there. It's a me, Mario. W, if you want to talk to Mario, you have to talk to his hat. Oh I'm sorry, okay, gotta look up there.
It's a me, Mario!
Wink Wink is in the toilet.
Can you get Wink Wink for us?
Oh yeah, no problem, we can get this guy out of there real quick.
Okay Mario, and...
It's a me, Mario!
Mario, that was amazing!
Oh yeah, thank you so much Mario, it's me, Sherry Barrels! It's me! Mario Mario that was amazing. Oh, yeah. Thank you so much Mario. It's me Sherry Barrel
It's me dash grab them. It's me Adam Kate and how I fight me coward and I'll ground you into the dirt
He's gonna jump on your head! It's a joke!
He'll turn you into coins!
It's a coin coming out of your head!
Pfft!
Oh no, Adam smashed!
It's a me Mario.
Pfft!
Mario just took off.
Adam is smashed flat!
It's okay, I'll shake him real quick, hold on.
Yeah, shake him up a little bit.
I have a bunch of, I have a hyper potion.
Oh, okay.
I'm sure he has a max potion.
You're just wearing it like you can't be flat much longer! Well, just a second, because I only have a couple. Now, a max potion're sure he has a max potion. He can't be flat much longer. Wait a second,
because I only have a couple. Now a max potion will give all of his HP back. A hyper potion
will give a lot of it back. Dash! Dash! Okay, here you go. Oh my god. Now wait. What happened?
I do like that sound. What? The one you just did where you became reanimated from being a pancake
by using this video game
potion?
After Mario squished you into a bunch of coins?
Were you dead?
That's the catchphrase?
Yeah.
That's the one I've been looking for?
That's it!
That's it!
Whoa!
Amazing!
Watch out 2020, I gotcha by the balls.
That's actually not bad.
That's not bad.
You might have to update it every year.
Something about you being flat, suddenly you're more creative than I've ever seen you before.
I'm just excited to be here again.
I didn't think I'd get a second chance.
Were you dead?
Did you go up to heaven?
Oh, for sure I went up to heaven.
What's it like up there?
Beautiful.
And I wasn't afraid.
I can't wait to be there.
I knew it.
I'm gonna go down Niagara Falls in a barrel.
No.
Please let it be a sherry barrel.
I've gotta go to Netflix.
So long everyone!
Alright, look, we're running out of time.
We just have time for one final feature on the show
and that is a little something called Plugs.
Boogie oogie oogie boys,
Boogie oogie oogie girls,'s time that the plug dance takes over the world
Open up the plug bag
I'm so scared to see
What you have in the plug bag
Have in shows for me
Alright! Well, there's more!
Oh, that was like Nick Fury recruiting Tony Stark at the end of Iron Man.
That was a little post-credit.
Spoilers!
Oh, damn it, I'm so sorry.
I thought you had movies in the Kanto region.
We have the movie where the Growlithe plays basketball.
Alright, Airbus 3.
There's no rule that says a Growlithe can't play basketball.
I just want you to know, Dash, look out for that clown. He might put food in the newspaper.
Which one? The one from It? Pennywise?
Alright, that was Plug Your Heart, Baby. Oh, you say Baby 2.
By Gunther the Fish. Thank you so much to Gunther the fish
All right, guys, what do we plug in Adam? You had your thing that you wanted to talk about
Yep, Adam Kate Holland performs a signature bit Saddle Creek Records the Grawlick saves the world wherever you get those are two ways to
Listen to Adam and not watch him unlike Netflix. Exactly. All right, that's changing
Sherry, what do you want to plug? Okay, I want to plug your local community colleges and your local parks and recs departments,
your recreation centers.
There are classes that you can take to expand your mind and they are a lot of fun and you
meet new friends and you learn new skills and you can make a Sherry barrel.
Ah, a Sherry bottle.
I'm sorry, Scott.
And I also want to say that if you want, you can see a different podcast live.
If you live in the Pacific Northwest and if you live in Portland, you can see it on the 20th.
And if you- That's this Thursday.
That's right. And if you live in or around Vancouver, you can see it on the 22nd.
And if you- That's this Saturday.
That's right, Scott.
Why would this podcast take a full day off in between those shows?
Oh, because one of the bookings happened and then they had to ask for dates of the surrounding cities after and no one had the Friday
It's almost like they tried to get the Friday and they could they got one on Sunday. They lost their challenges
Yeah, and then they are gonna go to Seattle on Sunday the 23rd and that podcast is called off the book
No
The book is called Off the Book? No. Off the Book? Off the Books.
The Improvised Musical Podcast.
Well that sounds wonderful.
And you can get tickets to any of these shows
at thezackandthegs.com slash live.
Okay, and Dash, what do you wanna plug?
I think I am gonna go to this desert island.
You're gonna go?
I think I'm gonna start over.
Cool, that.
Who invited you?
Was it Jaw Rule?
Is Jaw Rule a Pokemon? I mean, I feel like that's not my you? Was it Ja Rule? Is Ja Rule a Pokemon?
I mean, I feel like that's not my place to say.
Ja Rule, if you're a Pokemon, that's great.
Do any of your Pokemons, have you ever heard,
it must be the ass?
Have you ever heard that?
No, right, that went down though.
That's a pretty good catchphrase.
Must be the ass, courtesy of Scott Ackerman.
So yeah, I'm gonna go-
By Ja Rule.
How long are you gonna be gone? I think maybe for the rest of my life. Yeah, I'm gonna go. By a jaw roll. How long are you gonna be gone?
I think maybe for the rest of my life.
I think I'm gonna go there and do interior decoration
and sort of live my island life with a bunch of animals.
Okay, that's a-
So next time you check in with me,
maybe that's what I'll be doing.
Or maybe you'll never see me again.
Yeah, who knows?
Maybe you, I mean, it's an island.
There has to be some sort of transport to it, right?
Yeah, there's a dodo that flies a plane
that will take you there. Sounds sketchy. Yeah, be careful. I think it flies a plane that will take you there. Hmm, sounds sketchy.
Yeah, be careful.
I think it's gonna be fine.
Did you learn about it from a bunch of influencers
who just made a picture of an orange square?
I saw an orange square showed up on my Pokedex
and I was like, I gotta know what this is about.
And I bought a deluxe suite in a villa.
Oh no.
You're gonna have cheese on bread.
Oh, how is that cheese?
Oh, it's pretty cool.
Cool.
Yeah, it's slightly above room temperature, I have to say,
but it's cooler.
All right.
It's cooler than it was.
I wanna plug, look, I said it before,
check out the Michael Bolton's Big Sexy Valentine's Day
special if you have any residual Valentine's energy,
and also the Between Two Ferns movie is out there,
and look, if you're in what I call America,
that is the continental US,
and perhaps even the Alaska and Hawaii,
you can watch on Netflix all 110 episodes of,
what do I call it, Comedy Bang Bang, the TV show.
And those are all fun.
Were you on one, Adam?
On your TV show?
Yeah.
No, I was not.
Awesome.
All right, let's close up the old plug
Holy shit No! Don't open it up! Close it forever! Don't!
What? Why is this part of it?
This is awful! Shame on everyone involved!
Oh god...
Make it stop! Can you make it stop?
Just push a button! I'm looking right at you!
Push the button, Brett!
He doesn't have his pedals!
Push the button! P, he doesn't have his pedals! Push the button! He doesn't have his pedals! Push the button!
Push the button!
Ah!
Ah!
Open it up!
All right, that is, of course, the Michael Hartigan remix,
remixed by Jason Manzoukas.
And guys, thank you so much for being here.
Adam, always great to see you.
Thanks for having me.
I'll see you in your next 100.
Yeah, absolutely.
I appreciate it.
Just keep banking them, I love it.
Call me, call me, and let me know
what you guys think of the Catchphrases.
Definitely will, and Sherry, so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, how's it going?
Apparently, I have my work ahead of me.
I'll see you in April, October, and December.
Gotta get a lot of bookings here on the books.
And Dash, good luck to you,
who knows if we'll ever see each other again.
Who knows, hopefully my future is being the same age but married to a cop living on an island.
What if you, when you came back you were like 25.
Hey.
Suddenly.
Weird, stranger things have happened.
That's true. Adam, you have one last catchphrase before we go out.
There it is. All right, we'll see you next time. Thanks. Bye. Bye!
