Comedy, bang, comedy, bang, comedy, bang, comedy, bang. Comedity Bang Bang, Comedy Bang, Mine. What's up, everybody? This is Scott Ackerman, and welcome to another edition of Comedy Bang Bang. We are here with two of my favorite people in the world,

and I don't get the chance to say that often. I have to say that. First of all, we have a guy who, I would say if I have any success in show business, a large part of it is credited to him. Ruben Fleischer, no. David Cross is here. here with me from Mr. Show, my old Mr. Show, pal.

Yep. Here he is. Look, we all make mistakes, God. If I could go back in time, I'd go back in time and rectify it. It's too late. It's water in the bridge. Really, you would prevent me from being hired on Mr. Show before killing Hitler. No, I'd probably do it in reverse order. I'd kill Hitler, then run back to my time machine, jump in it. Oh, you know what?

I should have, now that a mental note to myself, put in some. some hand sanitizer and some towels and stuff because I'm going to be super sweaty from killing Hitler. And then, but then once I've killed Hitler, then it changes the future because if I kill Hitler, there's more Jews. Jews will probably end up taking over Hollywood at some point. Yeah, that hasn't happened yet. So I don't know. I got to rethink this. What if you only had, it was only a one-way trip on the time machine? Would you go back and kill Hitler and then wait 55 years to prevent me from getting? getting hired on the show?

But then that show is going to be really weird because it's going to be Bob as a 30-something guy and then me as a 90-year-old and I can't play teenagers. No, no, no. So you're going back in time right now to the 40s, so you will already be born. So it'll be old you. Oh, man, this is flowing my mind, man. Hopper lives. All right, let me introduce our other guest.

He's my old buddy. He directed a movie called Zombie Land, which is a big hit last year. He has a new movie coming out this Friday called 30 Minutes or Less, which we will talk about I've seen already, and it is very funny. Ruben Fleischer is here. Thank you so much, Scott for having it. I put that thing right next to your mouth. I got it right here. Thank you, Scott.

Rubin, you and I have known each other for a while. You are an acclaimed film director now, but we first got to know each other. You, a lot of people don't know this, but you direct the first two episodes of Between Two Ferns. If you can call it directing, I guess, yes. I was involved in the process of making them. I would say you and Zach probably did everything, and I just pointed in the cameras, but yes. Well, I mean, those things are basically...

Oh, those are pointed well. I remember seeing those going, man, those are in exactly the right-at-the-person position. We really did our job. No, I, yeah, you were doing that pilot for Fox, and you had seen, I think, a couple of my short films and asked me to make some shorts with you guys for the pilot. And, yeah, we did that, and we did the Between Two Ferns, and we did Paul Russ, P.D. Crichton.

Yeah, we did Casey Wilson's short, which is really funny. Yeah, a bunch of really funny shorts. Yeah, really great stuff. So you're a really funny guy. You've been in the comedy scene for a while. You've directed the girls' guitar club with Marilyn Rice Cub and Karen Kilgariff. And a bunch of shorts with Nick Thune. But, yeah, I really honestly was just a huge comedy nerd, like in the first generation,

or I don't know when the first generation was, but I was in the late 90s generation of all comedy nerds. And I used to go to Largo every Monday night. And I would see it was when I first moved out here to Los Angeles, having been a huge Mr. show fan. And I would go every Monday night. And it was incredible to me that for five bucks, I could see David and Bob and Paul F. Tompkins and Mary Lynn and Karen and a bunch of those people who were performing, you know, regularly at Largo.

And for me, it was really honestly a dream come true, getting to see these guys in person and just as such a huge fan. a comedy getting to meet these people and then later get to make stuff with them. It was like, it was really a cool experience for me. Where are you from? D.C. I grew up in Washington, D.C., and went to college in Connecticut and then moved to San Francisco. Let's get the whole story. Yeah, yeah. And then eventually moved down here. Walk us through this. But I was just honestly a huge Mr. Schofan.

How is it, describe the feeling meeting David Cross right now? I'm a little intimidated. I'll be honest. I was a little nervous when you told me that I was could be on the show, having never met David, but being a huge fan. And, yeah, he's just staring at me with, like, really intimidating eyes. And I'm nervous about everything I say. Yeah. But, no, David's a very nice guy, as we both know. Yeah, counter to my reputation.

I'm quite nice. What is that all about? Like, why do you think you, do you really have a reputation as being prickly or? Yeah, yeah. I've never heard that. I mean, honestly, I can say as an outsider. I've never heard that before. I guess maybe I'm a little hyper aware of my negative press

just because I retain it and I would say it affects me, but I certainly am, it jumps out, almost like when you're doing stand-up and there's 2,500 people and there's one guy sitting there with his arms. That's the guy you're seeing, you know. But yeah, I've gotten that quite a bit. In fact, I've done a number of interviews where the person will meet me either at my apartment or will meet in a bar, something like that, and they'll say at some point, this has happened a number of times like, oh, I told my friend I was interviewing you and he's like, oh, that guy's supposed to be a dick, and you're not, you know. No, you're just like one of the guys.

I mean, it is intimidating to meet you because you have such a great body of work that... What do you have to say of work? Okay, you've made a lot of people laugh. You created laughs. I've got a great body. Okay, I see. You got a great body. You're just like an imposing figure.

Well, no, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I suppose there have been a number of times where I just, I've always thought it's really about the approach of the other person combined with what, you know, sometimes you're on the phone or you're eating or, you know, you're getting back. news from your family or something and you just you can't be entertaining or as affable as you might or match their enthusiasm what's the worst news you've ever gotten from your family you know your sister's still alive that's terrible who who's a bigger who's nicer you or Bob a Hood and Kirk um it depends again it depends on the situation. It totally depends on the situation. I mean, I've seen, I've seen Bob, where I don't think he realizes it, I've seen him be just icy prick, you know, but I certainly. The first time, the first time you went over to his house to play basketball. The first time I met him, he was a dick. We've talked about it. Do you know this story, Rubin? No, I know. Okay, Bob talked about, I believe he talked about it on the IFC interstitials that I did, but he said if there is no greater case for him being autistic than the first time he met David, which describe it from your point of view. Um, I was, uh, out here visiting from Boston.

I was staying on Janine Garofalo's couch and, um, I'd been here for a couple days. I was like, I'd like to play softball or bastard. Do you do something because you like to have an active body. You know, if you don't use it, you lose it. Yeah, yeah. Captain America. That's, yep. Um, that's the phrase.

Uh, and she's like, oh, my friend Bob, he's really funny, he's cool. Uh, and he plays basketball. So we'll go over there. And, uh, and I, I've rarely felt in my, adult life so young and like just going back to that feeling it's a lot like when your mom says go to the neighbor yeah and go ask if you can play or your mom brings you to your neighbor and then you're just kind of embarrassed and what i was visiting uh family in arizona once and they said go next door there's a kid your age and asked to play i went and hung out in and hid in the side yard for two hours

and just sitting there by myself so I didn't have to do that and then came over and they said, how was it? I went, oh, it was fun. Just so I would not, because I have a fear of meeting people. Right.

Well, you're in the right business. But okay, so put us in the scene. You're on his front porch. So, Janine, I don't know how I had a basketball. Maybe one of her roommates had a basketball. That's an important part of the story. How did you get this basketball?

Anyway, I'm sitting there with my basketball. We walk a couple blocks. right around here actually and Bob's door is open but he has a screen door that's closed we've all seen him and let me describe this screen door in detail so you can see through it and yet it's a door it's about a 15.8 mesh right 300 thread count Egyptian mesh cut anyway so Bob is watching TV and his chair is at an angle and it's basically his back is you can sort of see him from the side his back is uh to us and he's watching tv and sort of he has a sandwich and actually in his in his version of the story he's

eating a sandwich i don't remember the sandwich um so no conferection was chicken salad on rye then i remember it but if it wasn't that then i don't remember it and in the entire conversation he never got up or came to the door he basically jean's like uh hey bob uh hey genie uh uh uh Hey, this is my friend David. He's staying at my place. And he's like, hey. And he's sort of shooting it over his shoulder. Never come in.

No, guys, come on in. Never come in. Never gets up. And like, he was wondering if you want to play basketball or anything. He's like, no, I'm, I'm whatever. Eating a sandwich according to him. He's like, no, I just made the sandwich. Yeah.

And we stood there kind of half awkwardly. And I stood there for a little bit. And then, okay, nice to meet you. You can call it that? I walk back with my little, in my basketball and my Charlie Brown head hanging. Not even when you're a little kid or you ever turned down like that, you know? There's no greeting, just throwing it over his head, over his shoulder. Over the shoulder.

Well, you're familiar with that over the shoulder, Ruben, right? You're a director. I just think it's funny how there was no phones involved in that story, like that it was all done in person. Well, this is back what year. would you say this was. This is before phones. Yeah, this was 92 maybe. This is back when people weren't saying hello. They were saying, ahoy, when they picked up the phone. Yeah, they go, they'd crank a little hand crank

next to the phone that was embedded in the wall, and they go, Sarah, get me, White Plains 3, 625, make it snappy. And yeah, there was no, but it was also, she lived like, I don't know, three blocks away. So it was an easy walk. So now, Rubin, turning to you, you have a movie coming out this Friday. I've seen it. I saw it the other day.

You were nice enough to invite me to a screening. And it is fantastic. And this year, I've had three directors of movies on, only three. And I've given their film the Comedy Bang Bang Stamp of Approval. Wow. Those have been Pridesmaids, attack the block. And your movie. Wow.

You are the third. So I give this movie the stamp of approval. you'll think it's really funny. Who's it who's in the film? It uh it's it stars uh jesse Eisenberg as he's on sorry you have to get better at this you're on a press junket here Danny McBride and Nick Swartson and um Michael Pena Fred Ward and Bianca Kalik and it's uh if you don't know what the movie it is it's basically uh Jesse Eisenberg plays a pizza delivery guy who gets a bomb strapped to his chest and uh it was forced to go rob a bank with his best friend of Z's exactly Danny Danny and Nick are

these kind of burnouts that just do stupid stuff like blow stuff up and make bombs in their garage. And Danny's big dream is that he wants to open a tanning salon slash brothel. And he's convinced that his father has some money and he's convinced that his father's spending his inheritance too quickly and that he'll never get the money from his dad to build the tanning salon brothel. So he decides to hire a hitman who costs $100,000, but he's too scared to get the money himself. He's too scared to do the hit himself. He's too scared to get the money himself.

He comes up with this brilliant scheme of strapping a bomb to Jesse's chest and insisting that he rob a bank for him. And then with that money, he'll pay the hitman to kill his dad so he can get the inheritance to make the tank salon brothel. So it's real streamlined. Simple to saw. It sounds complicated when you say it, but in the language of film, it's very easy to understand.

Well, we don't know. Yeah. I think that we do a better job of telling the story in the movie than I just did for sure. No, it's really funny. I was saying to you beforehand that to me it's a lot like a movie from the 40s where like a screwball. I shouldn't say screwball because that gives a wrong impression of the tone. But when I say that, what I mean is like there's a little bit of setup.

You were saying it's 87, 83 minutes, which is really quick. It doesn't feel like it's too short or anything. It just feels like once the setup happens and once everything starts going down, it's just boom, boom, boom, boom, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh. And the crowd that I was with was loving it, eating it up. That's great. All right, well, it's time for a feature on the show. I love having directors on the show because they're the best at this feature.

And this is... You're ready to be disappointed. It's a little bit of... Well, first let me say exactly what the feature is and we'll do the theme song. But this is a little feature we call Hollywood Facts. Nice. Well, it's Hollywood Facts. We're going downtown.

Going to Inglewood now. Everybody's doing your facts and know your stars. There's glitz and glamour and lots of bars. Get a drink at a club. Then go walk in front of Chinese theater. Hollywood Facts. Take out your dick. Check out the Facts.

It's the Hollywood Facts. Bro. That is, of course, the Hollywood Facts theme song is done by Andy Samburg and Adam Pally. I'm laughing because you used the Sharpie on the dry erase. You try to get it off. Now it's all over your hand.

No, it's all over my hand. I should use the eraser. So this is Hollywood Facts, and basically this is just movie trivia. Ruben, you a film buff? I'll do my best. David, by all accounts, you're an actor in films. Yeah. Where's this going?

You work in the medium. Right. Do you know a lot of trivia? I know what a mag is. Great. That's all you. That's okay. Well, I'll try to delete that.

question for this. All right. All right, why don't we start with David? First question, ready? And we'll just count up however many you get right and the winner will. Hang on, what's the prize? What's the prize? Yeah, well, first of all, who are you playing for? What charity are you playing for? The United States of America. Okay. They could use some help. Rubin, any, you playing? I'll support that same charity. All right. Whoever wins, USA, you're getting the money. USA's a big winner in the end. All right, here we go, David. Ready? True or false? The Wizard of Oz. Oh, okay.

True or false. The Wizard of Oz was the first movie filmed in color. True or false? False. Correct. By 1939, several movies were filmed in color. That is correct. Okay.

All right. One for David Cross. One for David Cross. All right. The score right now, let me recap the score after the first question is one to zero. All right, Ruben. All right, Ruben. Here we go.

Bringing up Baby and Bringing Up Baby. Have you seen the film? A long time ago, yeah. In bringing a baby, what type of mammal is baby? Tiger. No, a leopard. Oh, so close. So close.

So close. All right. So one to zero. David. Yeah. Who starred in the movie Mermaids and sang the Shoup Shoup song? Share. No.

Christina Ritchie. No, the other one in the middle one. No, Ariel. What? The answer we're looking for is Ariel. Ariel the Mermaid. Little Mermaid? Yeah, the Little Mermaid.

Oh, that was a mystery. You said that would be Mermaid. Yeah, you said mermaids. I don't think so, guys. All right, we did. Turning to Rubin. What are the... And wait a second.

That's wrong because the Shoup-Soup song was done by Cher in Mermaids. No, no, no, no. Ariel saying that, seriously, get on the internet and check right now. Ariel the Mermaid from the Lillie Mermaid sang the Shoup song. Will you look up the Shoup song? I'm sorry, guys, but we got to move on to this question. No, we can move on, but we're coming.

We're going to get on. Go ahead. Go ahead. Look it up, Dustin. Just Google Shoup Shoup's song. Because I remember like a video. I think you might be right. I think you might be wrong because I have all the information here.

Ruben, what are you getting your information from? What is your source? Ruben, what are the- What is your source, man? What are the final lines of dialogue of Chinatown? I'll guess. Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

Sorry, that is the second and last line. The final line is, thanks for coming, everybody. Oh, sorry. Really? Yep. David, in the film, the Pink Panther, what is the Pink Panther? Diamond. No, it's a leopard.

Sorry. I hate this game. It's a diamond. It's a leopard, David. You're still in the lead. Come on. Dude, Rubin, back me up on this. The Pink Panther is a diamond.

All right, Rubin, next question. You're purposely tying with us. This is some weird Stanford Prison Experiment. Which spouse of Lawrence Olivier appeared in 101, Dalmatians. Oh, if this is a leopard, the answer is not leopard. I am not familiar with all of his spouses. And I don't think it was Crewella.

Curella DeVille. Labrador Olivier. What is the answer we're looking for? All right, David, still one to zero. It's not. It's three to one, actually. This is what jewelry company used the James Bond movie title, diamonds are forever for its slogan.

De Beers? Correct. All right. First of four. What sports team used the Super Bowl shuffle as its theme song? Chicago Bears. Otherwise known as... Da Bears.

Right. I love that. What singing groups lead singer sang the theme to short circuit? Oh. Wait, wait, wait. First we had De Beers, then we had De Beers. Oh, this is all a thematic thing. Yeah, four-part question.

De Beers, De Beers. It wouldn't be DeBese. He was a composer. He was dead by then. Can I ring in? Yeah, yeah. Do it. Go ahead.

Save David here. De Barge. The bars, correct. Nice. Nice. I'm only going off the theme. I certainly didn't know. Yes.

All right. Fourth part, in Babe, where does the titular character sleep? The barn? Correct. Yes. All right. All right, two to zero. But last question goes.

Like Rubin and I are. splitting these points. Well, no, this question is worth 100 points. Rubin, what did Demi Moore famously shave on camera in the movie G.I. Jane? Her snatch? Butthole hair. Ah, I'm so sorry. David, you're a winner.

Okay, but this is a tainted win. Did you Google Shoup song? Yes. What do you got? Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Ariel from the Little Mermaid, confirmation. And that is, of course, how you play. Is that the only

Hollywood Facts Nice Well it's Hollywood Facts And we're going downtown Going to Inglewood now Everybody's doing your facts And know your stars There's glitz and glamour

And lots of bars Get a drink at a club Then go walk in front of Chinese theater Hollywood Facts Take out your dick Check out the Facts It's the Hollywood Facts

It's definitely The Shoeep song. I cannot believe how long it's taking you to figure out this is a bit. Maybe because it's not funny in any way. All right. I'll give you that. All right. Well, that is, of course, how we play Hollywood Facts and terrible, terrible. Terrible game that David is upset at. Awful comedy piece. I've never said it's a good comedy piece, but it is a comedy piece that

I spent five minutes writing and you will give it the respect it deserves, which is not at all. All right, let's take a break. We're going to hear a little song sung by one of our guests. This is Pizza Boy, sung by David Cross. And when we come back, we'll have another special guest here on Comedy Bang Bang. We'll be right back. There are so many ways a man can show you his love. Each or a heart shape of a little.

Or send you a note that says I love. We're here with David Cross and Ruben Fleischer, who is taking a picture. And we have a brand new guests on the show. A very interesting gentleman just came into the room. And now, you guys have never met this person before. No. I would imagine. Never, never, never.

Not run across him. But let me introduce him. He is, it says here on the introduction, he is an advocate for Ultimate Frisbee. Is that correct? That's correct. And his name is Sam Darling. Thanks for having me on. Hello, Sam.

Yeah, this is a great opportunity to talk about Ultimate Frisbee and the advantages it has. Oh, that's, okay. So a lot of times a publicist will set up a guest on the show because a lot of times we have interesting people, not celebrities, like the two of you, David and Rubin, but just a normal folk. And so that's... Still relatively interesting. So that's why you're here is basically you want to talk about Ultimate Frisbee. Okay. Yeah, and it's a little bit of a weird fit, but I'm just trying to get the worst.

word out in whatever venue. Word out. When you say word out, what do you mean? You want more people to participate in the sport? Yes. I want more people to participate in the sport. I share the story of my personal journey with the sport as a motivational kind of thing. So you travel around. I try to figure this out. You travel around. I'm having difficult to figuring out exactly what you're here to talk about. Well, I suffered a career-ending injury and I'm trying to keep my

connection with the sport of life through motivational speaking. I do speeches at schools. Their attendance optional. Now, I didn't want to say anything, but when you say a career ending injury, you, I mean, this is not something that you bring up when you see, when you first meet someone, but you are in a, you're in a, how would you describe what you're sitting? A wheelchair. So that's still politically correct to call it a wheelchair. Yeah, I mean, that is what it's called. Really? What did you hear that David that we were supposed to call them? Moving sit downs Just because wheelchair is so confining both literally and

Well also you don't you don't know like if you meet someone who's like in one of those You don't know if it's a rascal and they're just like too fat to walk you know what I mean like You don't want to say hey nice wheelchair it's when they're too fat to walk yeah I know immediately No but you I mean you have an athlete's body David But also Sam You have you have a very athletic body. So I assumed that it wasn't due to you being too fat to walk. Oh, no, I was

struck by a frozen bird. A frozen bird. Yeah, it was actually the day that I was going to play my first ultimate frisbee game. I was warming up on the sideline and similar to hail, I guess. Birds can freeze and go up and down in thunder clouds and it fell at terminal velocity and cracked one of my bird a bird universe. You never even got to play. That was your first. that was going to be your first game, first professional game. It was going to be my first game of Frisbee. I'd been told by my therapist

that I should join a group activity. Wait, you'd never... So not even your first professional game, just your first game. You've never played it then, technically. Well, yeah, if you want to... Technically, but I don't think you have to live your dream to talk about your dream.

And that's what I'm here to do to talk about cardio conditioning in Ultimate Frisbee is amazing. The people you meet are amazing. Okay. Teamwork. Did you have any of those experiences? Personally, that you can relate to?

Well, you know, I said hi to some of the guys when I got there, and I'm still in the Yahoo group. So, yeah. Still get the Google documents? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do the schedules and the shared sheet. They haven't taken me off the mailing list yet, so they're really good guys. Are you kind of a cheerleader now for the sport?

Do you mean to go to the games? Yeah, and cheered. The field is really. Julie muddy. So it's not great for the chair. Yeah. Yeah. So you have you ever been to a game since you were injured? Personally, no. I'll read the recaps on the Yahoo groups. Really, where can people read these recaps if they're interested in them?

Greatestultimate stories.net. Oh, dot net. Oh, dot net. Okay.com not available. Yeah. Yeah, that's too bad. So you've never been to a game. You've never participated in a game. And yet you're going around to schools, you say, attendance optional. Attendance optional motivational speaking. How long are your speeches or your sessions or when you're giving these? I try to keep them short like 90 minutes.

Wow. So what, so once you, I assume you. Longer than Ruben's film. I assume you have to explain the wheelchair and explain what happened as you somewhere towards the beginning of the speech. Yeah, well, I normally start off. That's the elephant in the room. I normally start off with some call and response.

Like, oh, you ought, can't, and I'll have the kid you ought never did nothing. Just for some positivity. Do they know to do that? Do you coach them through that? Or is that just a natural? I got to explain it. And then some people are saying, like, it's clunky.

Like, I don't even have it. Yeah, explain it to us. Can't never do nothing? Can't never did nothing. Oh, can't never did nothing. Like if you embody negativity, as this character called, Oh, not the philosopher kind.

Okay, yeah, yeah. I thought you were saying that was a judgment based on his body of work. I have a, that's part of my talk. I just look at, I have everyone get a frisbee, and we all just stare at it, and we all whisper our dreams into the frisbys. How long does that take? Into or onto, really, because it's not. Yeah, that's great.

There's not a lot depth to it. Yeah, if you flip it, it'll hold four beers. I mean, that's what the guy said at the field. I was like, you guys drink beers out of frisbees? And they were like, who's that guy? So four beers, four 12-ounce beers would be, what, approximately 62 wishes? Yeah, probably. Something like that.

I'm trying to think of the ratio. Yeah. What it can hold. Yeah. Four beers on a frisbee? I don't know. It was just guys talking on a field, so I wouldn't. Yeah.

Totally. Was that the only snatch of conversation you remember? One guy said scrope head, and I thought that was a pretty, funny word. He was making fun of another... He was making fun of another guy's moped and he's like, yo, Gooch, did you ride the scropeed? And I was like, I want to know these guys.

Are you still in touch with him? As a as a lurker on the Yahoo groups. That is the extent. But what happened to, I assume somebody must have come to your aid when you were struck and paralyzed? Yeah. Yeah. Everyone was really cool.

A lot of guys went to the bird. A lot of guys, checked to see like they were really intrigued that the bird was frozen there was a lot of debate whether how was that possible some guy one guy was just like it can't happen and everyone else was like it did happen it did happen especially in Southern California you really don't hear about that but eventually they were like what's up with the new kid and at a half time there's no cell phone service wait they waited they waited half time to are you only in that chair because they waited so long?

Wait, there's a half time in Ultimate Frisbee? Yeah, a better question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do it by a half time comes when first team gets to eight. You play to 15 when you get to eight. Everyone just chills out for a minute, you know? It just happens when it happens. So it's not a time sport.

It's when one team gets to eight. Well, you can play it on a timer, but this is, you know, casual pick up. So really, though, couldn't they have been more attentive to your plight? I don't have any a bad thing to say about those guys they handled it how they thought was best I was on the sideline it was only 30 minutes

and then someone you know hustled down I think it was actually Gooch on a Scropehead that rode down and made a call and EMT showed up everything was cool but yeah how long from the injury till EMT showed up

50-ish minutes almost an hour less than an hour pretty good response time. Was there, do you think that there was a possibility of retaining your full mobility? Had they responded sooner or had somebody from the, any of the players said,

wait a second, this guy's, you know, I assume you're whining, crying out in pain, maybe, you know, defecating,

I mean, that kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, I guess, like, if you want to be negative about it, you can look at it in a way.

like maybe different things happened. But it kind of happened perfectly, if you think about it, because the game was respected. And that's kind of what I've hung my hat on, you know? Like the respect of the game. Yeah. We played it out. It was supposed to start at one.

It was a little after one. And they started it up. What, where's your family in all this? What do they think of this? And whatever your ex-girlfriend or, ex-wife. I assume somebody left you. That's usually what happens in this story. Where are they in all this?

Can I happily say that that did not happen to me? I was single at the time. So, put a checkmarking. Currently still single? But looking, what was the question? Family. Family, yeah. My family's been great throughout all this.

Actually, my mom has moved out. from Ohio and she's living with me in a one-bedroom apartment out here, just helping me take care of things. You chose not to go back to Ohio, but rather have her come out to here. There is no ultimate in Ohio to speak of. A couple club teams, college teams, but the level of play is just, I can't support. That seems like a terrible imposition upon your poor mother to ask her to come out and support you in a state with which she's unfamiliar simply because you want to support a sport

that you've never played. can attend. But there are certain physical activities that my mom assists me with. Like what? My apartment building does not have an elevator. So your mother is dragging your wheelchair up the stairs?

What floor do you live on? The six floor. Oh man. And you have not thought to move out to move this. Did she live in a one level place back in Ohio? Yeah. What? Couldn't, I mean, what are you afraid of flying? Or what? I mean,

come on. I am not ready to give up on my dream yet. And maybe that's, maybe all you guys need to come hear me talk because you don't understand what it's like to have a singular focus in your life. All right. Well, I got to say,

I don't fault Sam completely in this story because I think your mom and I've never met her and it's a speculation, but is being a little blinded by the presumed love of her son and she's weak. And is there anybody else in your family that can, you know, just give her a solid slap? Well, first of all, I think you're incorrect in assuming my mom is weak.

I mean, she's dragging him up those six flights every day. I don't mean physically. I mean, mentally, the, and she's probably super buff now. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's actually her quads. Well, what's going to happen when she's frail and she needs to be taken care of? Well, we'll cross that road when we get to it, I guess. I mean, I have some siblings and stuff, but my mom is not weak-minded.

Where are they in this? My older brother is a physical therapist for disabled people in Florida. Wait a minute. What does he step up here? He's a physical therapist. He's, I mean, this is a match made in heaven. I mean, a shitty heaven, but still heaven. Why don't you go to Florida then?

And there's got to be ultimate Frisbee in Florida. It's the California of the East. Yeah, I guess there's a lot of ultimate there. And I could not live with my brother because he is very dismissive of my dream and my philosophy. To be honest, he thinks I am being ridiculous. You are being ridiculous. You're being also very insensitive to your mother and manipulating her and taking advantage of her. I'm not manipulating my mother. She is very angry about the situation. Almost every waking moment is full of disagreement between us.

She is expressing herself very clearly. I'm expressing myself very clearly and it is super healthy. This does not sound like a good relationship. I got to be honest. I had no respect for you when you wheeled in. here and I have just based on the wheelchair alone well based on ultimate frisbee advocate right yeah um but then uh I've just I've lost can I've gone into a negative area can I can I talk to you about a concept called spirit of the game no in ultimate frisbee there's a thing called spirit of the game which means even though we may be competitors okay we have the utmost respect for each other so maybe our maybe we're having a dreams battle here maybe my

dream and you're a dream don't co-inside but if you fall down i'll help you get up because it's the spirit of the game you will personally yes you're not going to call your mom to come pick me up and i'm gonna have to wait there for your mom to get in her car go down six flights come pick me up then go back wheel you into the car wheel you out wheel you up six flights of stairs well i mean i'll try to pick you up. If I can't, we may have to go with the Plan B, which was everything you just said. All right, let's

go to a song when we come back. This is Comedy Bang Bang. We'll have more Ruben Fleischer, more David Cross, more Sam Darling. We'll be right back. When you're feeling low and things have gone astray. Remember my friend help is on the way.

Red balloon is Here to take your hand and steer Red Balloon will help you fly away Red Balloon has a tale to tell of candy fun and golden bells Red Balloon will take your hand Lead you through a magic land Red Balloon will push you down a well Red Balloon will send you straight to hand

Got to follow your balloon To follow your Red Balloon That is Red Balloon Featering David Cross In a duet with Bob Odenkirk Give us Did I sing on that?

I thought it was just Bob. No, that's you. You're going, You got to follow. Fun stuff? Yeah, I remember distinctly we were all a little

wary of Bob singing because he doesn't know how to sing. What do you call it when you're it's the he can sing his voice is okay but he's atonal

or whatever that's called when he can't he's got a tinier he can't he can't pick up pitch right exactly and and but he really wanted to sing it

and we let him and then it sounded so it was not it was it was kind of perfect it's just it's funny in its own way because it's awful, but it's not so awful that it's, that's the joke.

It's just bad. There is nothing that gives me greater joy than listening to Bob trying to sing. It's so funny. He goes for it. It's so hard. I was remembering that one where he's like a teapot or something in one of the Mr. shows. No, the gold tooth. Yeah.

Yeah. The wrapping thing? No, there's one where he's like a teapot. I don't remember that. He's got silver face. Oh, no. He's the milk machine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was great.

That's an incredible song. Yeah. Yeah. And now, David, you have a great voice. You've trained in theater and opera, I would imagine. 12 years at the sore bone. Yep. So the contrast of your voices is delightful.

Yeah, and ironically, I pretty much until Mr. Show, I really was, I got very nervous about singing, unless I was doing a parody or making fun of something, then I'd sing, but I get very nervous. Still, to this day, I get a little, I don't know why. I mean, I'm kind of a naturally a performer ham kind of thing. But even like karaoke, it takes me a few drinks. And but Bob, on the other hand, will go happily go out there and miss belt a tune.

Sam, you a singer at all? No. I never tried. Do I give it a go now? Yeah, let's hear what you got. Can we get some sort of backing track for Sam here and just kind of see what we got? I guess you guys have put me to the test here about living the dream. You know, we can do is...

An ultimate Frisbee player would sing, I can guarantee that. Can't never not do it. Yep, yeah. You know what we can do, Dustin, is we just moved over to this new studio where we're not going to be able to hear planes anymore. We could kind of cue up the plane break song and we can all sing it. Okay, here we go. This is what usually, anytime we hear a plane, flying by, we like to cover up the sound of it by playing this song,

which is called Taking a Plain Break. By who? By all of us, we all sing it. So we can just have Sam here sing it. Pretty good lick. Go Sam. Okay, so I'll tell you when to say, and the lyrics are taking a plane break over and over. All right, so get ready.

First you scream, yeah, and then it's taking a plane break. Is it a long yeah or a short yet? It's a pretty, it's kind of a long yeah. And I'll cue you, here it comes and yeah. Not bad. Take it. No, no, yeah. Here we go.

And taking a plane break. Take it a plane break. Take it a plane break. Take it a plane break. Take it a plane break. That's bad. Good job. Wow.

How'd it feel? I might have found a new dream. That's good. I might be switching off Ultimate to be, uh, to be, what do you call it, a voice warrior? What's the name of someone who does? Wait, a voice voyeur. A voice warrior.

A warrior. I thought you were going to be a person who just, like, is a voyeur. That's probably good news for your mom, maybe. Yeah. Because you can certainly do that from Ohio. I think the music industry is based in California, right? Yeah, but what, the modern technology and the internet? You can just email files back and forth these days.

You get a, you send it the account? You're good. You know? That's great, buddy. Yeah. You should tell your mom when you go back. down to church. I got to tell my mom that's a new life of auditions.

You could go to Florida, too. That's where the Backstreet Boys started. That's where O-Town started. Lou Perlman, you know, you could go out there and kind of. And you're probably safe from Lou Perlman because I don't think he'd go for like a guy at a wheelchair. You're not really safe. No, I wouldn't put that past him.

Yeah, but he's older. Well, not so much into the boy band scene. My dream is kind of like the SoCal punk scene. I think that's going to be my thing. You do like, uh, uh, offsprings, smash mouth. cover band? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You really just seem to go along with,

you seem to embrace your dream. As long as it takes place in Southern California. All right, it's time to play a game. Hopefully you guys can all get in on this. And in fact, it's mandatory. It's time to play a little thing we call, Would You Rather? It's quite an imposing intro.

Yeah, it's not over. Something tells me this is a bidding Is this Reggie Watts? Shut up. Theme's playing. Have some respect. Can't you cut my part out of it? I'm just imagining a very slow gladiator

during this entire song, just slowly making his way. Hey, Sam? Shut up. Okay. You could use this as another opportunity to sing. This is a backing track. You can live your dream of SoCal Punk and Gladiator.

All right. Here we go. It's time to play, Would You Rather? We all know how this is played. People send me, Would You Rather, scenarios at our Twitter, which is CBBWIR. And I'll read them. And then I will open the floor for questions. You can ask me any question you like about either scenario to try to narrow down your choice.

Put yourself in the mind of a person in either scenario and ask, well, what if this happens? What if this happens? We're answering this for the person who wrote it in or for ourselves. For yourselves. Got it. What you would rather do. But there's a lot of information that I have that is not in the question that you can ask me about. All right, here we go.

And there's really no right or wrong, but there will be a winner. Yes, there will be a winner and you can score points. America, right? Yeah. America. Who are you playing for, by the way? These two guys are playing for America. I'll play for a SoCal Ultimate Frisbee.

Okay. Wait, so you're still into Ultimate Frisbee? And, uh, and voice lessons. I'll play for my own voice lessons. Okay, for your own voice lessons. Here we go. This is sent to us by Camel Cakes. Camel Cakes, aka Richard Lindbergh, but Camel underscore Cakes on Twitter, asks,

would you rather go back in time and live as Nixon's Dingleberry for time in office or get new iPhone before friends and be a real dick about it? Would you rather go back in time and live as Nixon's dingleberry the entire time he was in office or get a new iPhone before all your friends and be a real dick about it. I'm opening the floor for questions. Before we start, man, just ask you said there's no right or wrong answer, right? Well, I mean, I'll be judging you on how you play the game. Yeah, otherwise, how do you sign a winner?

Yeah, I'll be judging your performance. Go ahead, Sam. I have one question about the dingleberry. Sam, yes. Would you be like a sentient dingleberry? Like, would there, or would it be like a brief span? Did you say sentient? Yeah, or would it be like a brief span of not?

Would it be like turning into stone for six months and then you wake up and you just wake up and you have no memory Because a dingleberry has no sense organs or that's a great question You would be a person you'd be an anthropomorphic Dingleberry so you would have Oh that because my question was gonna be whether it's so it's a it's a literal I mean I know it's slang but it's a literal It's not like the name of a dog or oh no no no you would actually literally be one but you would be you would be anthropomorphic you'd have have a, you'd have a face, you'd have a little body, you'd have a voice.

Did you talk to Richard Nixon? Oh, yeah, definitely. You'd talk to Richard Nixon. You'd give him advice. Would your survival be guaranteed as a dingleberry? Because I feel like once a dingleberry is discovered. And do you leave once he resigns office? Is that it?

Or do you have to go in a ford's... All right. You want the whole story. Here's what happens. The reason you're there the entire time in office is because the very first day that he has you. I don't say it like we're children and you're reluctant. I mean, we don't know. Well, I mean, this is part of the game. Well, this is part of why we play the game, but I didn't, I didn't want to have to give you the whole story. But here we are. We don't have to give us the

whole story. Oh, okay. Great. I won't then. All right. I was kind of excited to hear the story. You really sound like you knew what you're talking about there. All right. So here goes. So the very first day, he like sits on you and goes, oh, I think I have a dingleberry. And he rises to go to the bathroom and you say, no, no, no, Mr. Richard Nixon. I've traveled back in time in order to be here. and I'm supposed to be here the entire time in office, and he's amazed at this thing that he sees. He doesn't have a heart attack. No, he has a heart attack, but it's a brief, just minor one.

Okay. He doesn't call anyone for it, and he goes, I think that was a heart attack. I should get that checked out, but, yeah. So then he talks to you for a little while. He sits down, has a long conversation with you, and, you know, you have a lot in common. You were once president of the dingleberries in the dingleberry,

states. And so you have that in common just and so that's another experience we have to have as a because the dingleberry is us, right? Yeah, you've gone back. We become a dingleberry. We have to serve a short stent as president of dingleberries. You have to go back in time in order to do that. Are you imbued with the knowledge of everything that came past as you are sent to Richard Nixon's body? Meaning are you are you trying to change the future in other words? No, no, no. Are you? Are you, Do you have at your disposal the past that you haven't lived because you've gone back in time and now you're attached to Richard Nixon? But I think what Sam was saying, if you are the president of the Dingleberry is you have all that past experience and knowledge.

Are you just imbued with it when you pop onto? You actually go back in time and serve as the president. Holy moly. Yeah. And president of the Dingleberry, it's not a four-year term. It's a 28-year term. So 28 years goes by and then Richard Nixon gets into office. I'm regretting that we have to hear this story about the whole.

Yeah, you tried to dodge it. I want a record I tried to nix this whole thing. No pun intended. I don't have another question. It's more of a concern. Okay, sure. If you are a dingleberry on Richard Nixon, I would try to, you know, I would try to help the guy change American history. and kind of talk him through it.

I'm just worried that from a perspective of a talking Dingleberry that only he can hear, I'm assuming, that it would be... Anyone else could hear you. Anyone else could hear you? From the perspective of a talking Dingleberry, I think it would be hard to bring him to more of a rational and trusting of others' state. I don't think you're starting off on a strong... I'm going to go with the...

Please don't vote. Please don't vote yet. Okay. See, this is the problem, Rubin. This is how... I'm judging you on... how you're playing the game, you're pre-voting. Right. Points are being taken off for you, right?

No, okay. You can't vote now. Let me ask about the iPod. Yes, David. It's an iPhone, but yes. And could you restate the question? I get the new iPhone and I'm a dick about it. Before all your friends and you're a real dick about it.

Okay. How many friends do I have? You have two friends. Oh, okay. They're your best friends. What constitutes being a dick about it? You're always taking it out and taking calls and pretending to take calls and you're always like showing off apps and new features. Why don't they have?

Why don't they have? have the new iPhone and why I assume I got it I spent my own money you knew a guy who were to the Apple store I had access to before it comes out on the market yeah he cut you in on a little on a little deal like three days before do they have iPhones too yeah they have they have the most recent one but not this recent one what are the advantage of the new one that the old one doesn't have well now I don't know what the new iPhone is going to have I'm not in the tech business but I would imagine I mean it'll have some sort of improved camera more pixels, a great interface, I would imagine.

I mean, you would know more about this than I would, certainly. What? So for three days, you're a total dick about it. Okay, now. Seems like an easy one. That's what I was going to say. You got to narrow down your choice by asking the right questions. Would it be, would it still be AT&T and a two-year contract?

Yeah, that's the problem. Oh. Yeah. Dingle Bay. Suddenly, sorry. Yeah, it's looking better, huh? Oh, okay. Yeah, 28 years is a, um, now, your sense of space.

smell as a dingleberry. Sure. The human sense of smell or a dingleberry sense of smell? Great question. It is the human sense of smell, so you're always, yeah, you're not digging it. Especially Richard Nixon. Are there books or audio books available in a dingleberry appropriate player? Great question.

You are able to take your new iPhone back with you. And it's been shrunk down and you have a little some earbuds. This is before the breakup of, Of 18T, the monopoly? Yeah. So you'll have 18T in this. So it's actually good. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. So it's a little better service. Is anybody going to freak out at the, the fact that you have a cell phone, especially if you're going back 28 years before he became president, which puts you in the 40s, I imagine. Somewhere around there, yeah.

Maybe late 30s. People are really going to freak out. Yeah, well, if they can see you. But you have a, you're a dingleberry, and basically you have a little tiny. Well, I assume at some point, especially back then Richard Nixon is, you know,

working out going to a... Wasn't he in like a football team in Yale or something like that? Sure. And he's going to end up taking a shower and there's this animated talking, I assume, chirpy, colorful dingleberry.

With a cell phone. Yeah. I mean, it's not like... He's a little shocked by the cell phone, but... What about everybody else? He's in the shower. Are you forcing Richard Nixon

to not? not shower in public for 30-some-odd years? He makes that choice, yes. He makes that choice. Shower, sexual activity. At what frequency can we assume Richard Nixon's butthole is exposed to public scrutiny? That's the real question. Honestly, he's less concerned about you being the talking Dingleberry than he is about the whole cell phone deal.

I think I've heard enough. I'm going to go with the iPhone. Again, you can't vote until I close the... I'm going to have to dock you both questions. Sam, you're in the lead right now. Any last questions before I close the floor? No, I think we just... Hold on.

Sam still has some questions. This might open it up a little bit. Is there any possibility that the new iPhone would cause something terrible to happen to you, like death or something? Yes, you immediately get cancer from your new iPhone, yeah. It's an early... It's an early unshielded prototype kind of thing.

Yeah, exactly. Huge class action suit. You're going to settle out of... with Apple for... Well, it's not class action because they catch it before it's released. So you're the only person who has this phone. So you're the only person. It's... Ooh. Yeah. So you have to fight this long battle by yourself. And then you have to acknowledge to Apple, basically, that you got an unauthorized, unshielded iPhone. I do the iPhone. I'll do the iPhone. Please don't... Again, David, I'm going to have to talk you some more points. Sam, any other questions?

iPhone could cause cancer. I like the... It does cause cancer. It does. Absolutely. Absolutely. Within the three days that you have it. Wow. David, how do you like to vote? Do you like to be the iPhone? iPhone, really, even though you die on the fourth day that you have it. Well, you never asked me the question.

This is why you ask questions. Well, if I'm getting cancer so severely that it kills me. It's an accelerated form of cancer, yes. That's fine, that I'm barely going to be in pain. I'd rather do that than spend 30-some-odd years next to Nixon. Asshole. Yes. All right.

Okay. All right. So Sam, how do you like to vote? I was going to say iPhone, but the death thing changed my mind a little bit. Are you scared of death? Seems like a man like you is stared into the face of death. And that face is a frozen bird's face. Well, it's two things.

One, it's like I've had my brush and I don't want to do it again. Second thing is I don't have a cell phone and I don't really see the need for. it. So those two factors. Because you don't have just anyone to call or? I don't know. Is that what people use them for? Well, they have apps as well. So what are you choosing? I think just to catch up on my reading list, I'm going to choose Dingleberry. Your audio book reading list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, great. What is on your reading list right now? My audiobook reading list. There's a who is that Canadian runner? There's a Canadian runner book I'm really into.

Okay. They were talking about it on the, yeah, Terry Foxx. They were talking about it on the Yahoo message boards and I was like, I've got to download that. Not much of a reading list. All that's on it is who's that Canadian runner? You can have a one item list. It's more of a question to yourself. All right.

Rubin, how do you like to vote? I'm going to iPhone. iPhone, really? Why's that? I'm just not that interested in spending a lot of time. Richard Nixon's asshole. Even though you're dead and your family will mourn you and your career will be over. You'll never make 31 minutes or less.

The sequel. No, yeah, I'm going iPhone. Going iPhone. All right. Well, let me tally up the points. First of all, Richard Nixon was the correct answer, but I dock you, David, for voting early. I dock you, Rubin, for voting twice early. Sam, even though you voted incorrectly, you have the most points.

You are a winner. Congratulations. He voted for a right. I know, he voted for the incorrect answer, but you guys got Doc so many points. Oh, the correct answer was the iPhone thing. Yeah, correct answer was iPhone thing. But unfortunately, this is, you know, how you play the game. So, Sam, you're the winner.

How's it feel? That's awesome. That just teaches us something about sticking with wrong choices. Yeah. I guess so. All right, and that is, of course, how we play. would you rather What is this from?

Do you want to sing, Sam? Do you want to As the winner? It is your right. You're going to be able to get those voice lessons now. It's very arrhythmic. Here comes the gladiator. He's very slow.

He's walking in the wrong direction now. Where's he going to go? We want the fight. Slow gladiator. It's almost over. You got one last chance to pull this out. Slow. You were unsuccessful.

No, you did not pull it out. You might want to consider I did not pull it out. I did not pull it out. Was that more narrative? Yeah. All right. Well, guys, we're just about at the end of the show.

Well, this has been a delightful waste of time. That's what the listeners say every week. We only have one last thing to do, which is, of course, the What's Up Hot Talk Memorial Plugs. Is that it. Is that it? Yeah. Love. What's up.

Motherfucking plugs. Plugs. Lovefugged. Motherfucking plugs. Is that it? Okay. That is by Christopher Fleger, I believe, is how you pronounce that. If you have your own WhatsApp Hot Dog Memorial Plugs theme,

please go to Earwolf.com in our message boards and posted in the appropriate thread. And we'll play them and give you a little. shout out. And so let's go round Robin style. Rubin, what do you have to plug? Oh, I guess the most obvious would be 30 minutes or less, which comes out this Friday, August 12th. Very funny movie. And what's next for you? What's your next project? I'm actually start shooting in four weeks gangster squad, which is a period gangster movie in 1949, Los Angeles. The story of Mickey Cohen, a Jewish gangster, and Sean Penn's playing Mickey Cohen and Josh Bruln and Ryan Gosling are the cops that have to bring him down.

Along with the rest of the squad. Michael Pena, Giovanni Rebisi, amazing supporting casts. Great script. Mackey. Yeah, it's going to be incredible. You swinging for the fences on this? What's that?

Swinging for the fences on this? I hope it's good. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Did you write it as well? No, I'm not a writer. I just get handed material. and then have to figure out

No, this one is chip-wrecked. Chip-wrecked. Because kids love puns. They love it. And, but that is certainly something I do not want to plug. spend any time promoting in any way whatsoever. All right. And moving to you, Sam, what do you have to plug?

I'm going to go home, do some soul searching. Got to decide between an ultimate and the new singing possibility. So thank you for that. Good. Yeah. I would like to plug. There's a new podcast you can listen to today, something I did with Harris Whittles called Analyze Fish.

Analyze Fish. Now, we talked about this last time Harris was on the show. He's a big fan of fish, and I think that is absurd. FISH the band or fish the band? Fish the band. Yeah. So, and I could not believe that about him. Is Harris the guy who does? Humble brag.

Yeah. Oh, God, I love that. Yeah. He's a writer for Parks and Recreation, a frequent guest on this show, and he starts talking about fish, and I just zone out. So what we decided would be fun to do is to do a podcast where he tries to get me to like fish. And he plays me fish songs and explains, explains.

Good luck, Harris. So now, I don't want to spoil anything. If I like fish by the end of the program, it's an hour. If I like fish, then that is the only episode that will come out. And if I do not like fish, then it will be a continuing series. Wow. So until I do like fish. That could be never.

It could be never, but we'll keep putting them out. The eternal podcast. Yeah. So that is available today now. Go to Earwolf.com or iTunes and analyze fish is what that is called. And so everyone listen to that. And that's my, thank you so much,

guys, for being on the show. Yeah, it was fun. My pleasure to have you guys. And any, uh, last words.

A really good name for a women's ultimate frisbee team is Princess layout. Awesome. All right. We'll see you next week, everyone.
