We've heard some drilling. We've heard some hammering. We've heard some garbage. trucks, the axis of evil have converged upon the backyard era. Who knows? Maybe this will be the last one,
Starting point is 00:02:34 but it's been wonderful to be out here in nature. You can hear all that little hammering, can't you? A nice man with this cute hammer? Maybe it's a woman, although. Why am I saying that the hammer is a man? Who knows? We have a great show. My name is Scott Ackerman, by the way. We have a great show. Coming up a little later, we have someone from the food industry. We have someone on a food TV show. That's very exciting. We have someone in the medical profession, so a really interesting collection of people. Did I say my name is Scott Ockerman? I'm not sure. But before we get to them, let's talk to a good friend of ours who came by today. I'm struggling to remember any of her details, but please welcome back, Kayla Dickie.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Hi, Scott. It's me. I'm back. I know you probably missed me. It's been a while. It's been a few years. Has it been a few years, really? I don't remember, walk us through exactly who you are again. Okay, so my name is Kayla Dickey. I am from Montrose, Colorado. Basically, I have always fallen for men who have big trucks. Right. That's your thing. If they have a big truck, then they're worth dating, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And you're obsessed with the Ford? Ford Rock Card series. Yes. So one of my first boyfriend's cart, he had the Ford Rock Hard 350. He had the 350. The 350. The Rock Hard 350. Rock Hard 350.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And that was initially he hit on me by yelling at me from his big truck, which is my preferred way to get hit on. Your preferred courtship. Yeah, exactly. Ritual. Yeah, it's just super romantic to me. What did he yell at you again? He yelled at you again. I think he said smile for me. Smile for me.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Sounds like he's like Bob Fossy talking to one of his dancers or something. He's a damn girl you're asking for it. Oh, okay. So you like that. I love that. Oh, okay, great. So that actually, that always works for me. That's why I kind of walk the streets and I sort of wait for people to yell at me like that. Oh, okay. Because I saw you walking the streets and I was like, Kayla. Hey, do you want to come on the show?
Starting point is 00:04:52 And that didn't work. It didn't work. That's why I waited a few years to come home. Oh, okay. But yeah, and then obviously... Get closer to that black thing right in front of you. What do you say? You can talk right into it.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Yeah, exactly. A big long black thing. It's sort of an awkward level. Well, adjust it then, my dear. Well, I don't understand. Silk and descending, I love it. So what you want is you want it to be set up before you get here perfectly at your mouth level. And then you just sit down into it?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Well, I just think that there should be some thought about, like, what is this part? It's the mic stand. Who cares? Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Obviously, we need to talk about Judd. Oh. Before we finished talking about me.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Now, Jud Weeby, is that his name? Jud Weeby. What is Judd Weeby's? He was formerly the mayor of Montrose, Colorado. Right. I worked as one of his assistants, me and my girls, all my friends. You were all, he had a lot of assistance. A lot of assistance.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And basically he started a fire because he left multiple curling irons on and burned down the town. And then he. The entire town. I don't know. Other than the Chicago fire where Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over that candle, I don't think I've ever heard of an entire town being burned down. Well, it burned to the ground. Wow. And then he fled.
Starting point is 00:06:14 He ran up the now aptly named the Judd Weeby Trail. Right. And he was living as a. Bear in a bear costume. Right. And I basically would take turns, take shifts with all my girls. We now work at David's Bridal. Obviously, we needed to get a new job.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Right. So you all, you collectively got a new job. We did. We work as a crew. A lot of places don't hire five people at a time. Well, this really worked out for us because his, Judd Weeby's former wife, Merg, owns David's Bride. Oh, but who's David in this situation?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Well, it's a franchise. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Wake up, smell of the coffee. I'm not, I haven't been in the bridal business for, you know, you know, 15 years or so. So. Well, there's some really good stuff out there. Some really beautiful mermaid. Oh, I'll check it out now. So I'll get married again. What do you think? I don't know. I mean, is that what you want? I hear there's some really great stuff out there. What's going on with you and Coulop? Everything's good. Oh, you know Coulop. Oh, yeah. I met her when I was coming in. Oh, okay, great. Yeah. She welcomes all of our guests. Gives him a give, give, She gave me water. Yeah. She was great about that. Yeah, she refuses to get bottle water for people. It's only tap. It's only tap, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:29 But she serves it in a water bottle. Yeah, it's very, yeah. She has a funnel just for that purpose. Yeah, which I've heard it's bad for you to refill, like, plastic water bottles. Like, the plastic goes into the water. I've heard that too, but she doesn't care. Yeah. And in fact, you know, it's not really a funnel.
Starting point is 00:07:43 It's actually the original Tin Man's Head from the Wizard of Oz, the 1930. My God. Yeah. She bought it just to pour water into water bottles. That must have been so expensive. Yeah, it was crazy. We got the ruby slippers too, but she wears those around the house. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Good for her. I'm proud of you guys. Yeah. So anyway, basically this time I'm on the show, Scott, because it is truck week. Truck week. It's truck week. Truck week. I can tell if you're saying Trek week or truck week.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Truck week. Truck week. Truck week. Trick week. Okay. Junkwee. Boret. So it's truck week the best what? The best fucking week of the fucking year. Okay. What happens in truck week? And is this exclusively in Montrose, Colorado? It is. Basically, everybody with a big truck in all of Southwestern Colorado descends on Montrose for Truck Week. Really? So this is sort of like the, what do you call that, when all the motor bikers went out there and got COVID?
Starting point is 00:08:47 What are we talking about? It's exactly like that. Okay, but it's people with trucks. An equally anti-vax crowd. Oh, great. Are you part of that? Yeah, yeah. Okay, but you showed me your vaccinations, like your car.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Yeah, it's a fake card? That's forged. Oh, forged. Yeah, because basically my new boyfriend, not to hold, like, drop this on you. But I know the last time I was here, I was engaged to Judd. Yeah, because you found Judd up there. He was, he put on a bear suit and he was out on the Judd Webe trail scaring people off? Yes. And I found him and I brought him back to town and we were together
Starting point is 00:09:22 dating all of us, me and my girls and Judd. Was he still as a bear during all of that? Yes. So going to restaurants as a bear. We were his cubs. He fucked his cubs. You fucked his cubs? What? We were his cubs. Oh, okay. And he fucked us. Okay. Great. So he was fucking his cubs. He was fucking his cubs. You get it. It's not complicated. Okay. So basically, um, Yeah, we, I had to break up with Judd. Why? Because it was a huge thing. He said that he had the Ford Rock Card 450.
Starting point is 00:09:55 And that's why me and my girls were like, well, we got to be with him. So I left Cart for Jud. Oh, no. And then I find out that he actually lied. He had the 400. He didn't even have the 450. No. And what did Cart have?
Starting point is 00:10:07 He had the 350. So obviously it's still like, better. It's better. But at that point, I was like, wow, if somebody comes along with a 450, like I'm out. I'm leaving. Right. Yeah. And bam, my new boyfriend, Shart comes along.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Shart? Is that what you said? It's like shark with a tea. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, or it's like Shart. Shart. Yeah. Okay. So Shart. Were you walking down the street and Shart spied you? Yeah. And what did he yell at you? He yelled, hey, stupid little bitch. Cool.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Climb on up here. Climb on up here. Yeah. And he was talking about his 450. Yeah, so I climbed up the 10 foot tall wheels and I got in and he had so many cool slouchy beanies. What are slouchy beanies? Are those like beanie babies? Because I know people have like beanie babies in the back of, in their like hatchbacks and stuff like that sometimes. Oh yeah, no, that's what they are.
Starting point is 00:11:05 They're really long beanie babies. Really long beanie babies? And they're called slouchy babies because they can't help but bend over? Slouchy beanie. Slouchy beanie. Yeah, so he has a bunch of stuffed animals. just in the back there. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And they're kind of piled up on top of each other. And in the back. What's an interesting guy this shard is? He's pretty cool. What does he do for a living? Do you mind talking about him a little bit? Yeah, so this is what I was going to say. He makes forged fax cards.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Oh, wow. Okay. That's got to be big business. It's really good money, especially in Montrose. It's huge. Wow. So, and basically, we've been dating for about a year. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:46 And now it's, and lo and behold, I met him at, I met him at Truck Week last year. Oh, my God. Okay. So now it's Truck Week of this year. And I'm always single for Truck Week. Okay. So you broke up with him. So I broke up with him.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Okay. And how did he take that? How does Chart feel about that? He was like, well, I get it. If there's another guy out there with a bigger truck, like you have to go. Right. But do I want you to go? No.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So has the 500 model come out at this point? The 500 is rumored to be out on the message boards. It's rumored to be out. It's a rumored to be out. And you say they're bigger. So each time they make a new model, they grow in size. Right. Normally they only go up by 50.
Starting point is 00:12:25 So it's like 400, 350, you know, 350, 450, 550, 550, etc. But because of the pandemic, production was changed. And so, yeah, if you can believe it. So the last model is the 450. Yeah. And you say, are they going up to 550? Well, that's what I'm thinking. I actually think it's rumored to be out that the 500 is around.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And I normally would be like absolutely not. But because like truck production is so low right now, I actually would go with somebody who had a 500. Okay. Wait, so it's rumored the 500 is out. You haven't even seen one. No, I haven't. Have you seen one? No.
Starting point is 00:13:01 But you would go with someone, even though it's not a 550, which is not rumored to be out? Well. I'm not quite sure I'm understanding. I mean, it might be rumored to be out. Oh, okay. It might be rumored to be out. But the 500 is definitely rumored to be out. The way that truck production works, I don't know if you know this.
Starting point is 00:13:17 No, I don't. But it's all based on rumors. Oh. So it's a rumor to be out in the spring. But obviously we're only in March right now. Yeah, well, spring has it officially sprung? No, it springs in. When does spring spring spring?
Starting point is 00:13:31 It springs in May. It springs in May. Or even June. I think that we're creeping up on summer. Maybe even July. Okay, I don't think so. It sprung. So the 500.
Starting point is 00:13:42 rumored to be out in the spring. It's rumored to be out. Rumored to be out. In the spring. But the 500 is rumored to be out, but I've never seen one with my dead eyes. Okay. So dead eyes, by the way.
Starting point is 00:13:55 You listen to that podcast? What? No. Yeah, anyway. Got Tom Hanks on it. Oh, cool. Meanwhile, I'm in the backyard with you. What the fuck is your fucking problem?
Starting point is 00:14:07 Do you need to go to the bathroom or something? Why are you so upset? Did you get mad when you have to go to the bathroom? I usually, I get happy because it's like, oh, go, oh boy, I get to get rid of all this. Whenever I'm on the road and someone's driving like a psycho, I'm like, he has to shit. That makes it. Okay, yeah, that's a more empathetic way of looking at it. Yeah, he has to shit.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Instead of just a bad person. He just has to shit. He has to shit. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's great. So Shart is out of the picture for a week at least. Currently, yeah. If I can find someone with something better than what he has, the 450.
Starting point is 00:14:43 At this point, truck week, I mean, get your fucking ass up and go to truck week. It's the best time of my life. What are the events that happen over the week, or is it just people driving trucks up and down the main street? It's mostly people camping out in their truck, driving their trucks around in circles. In circles. Not even in straight lines and then making... No, it's just circles. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And basically they just like Blair, really violent movies. from their DVD players in their trucks. And they... Like what movies are we talking about? Like seven? Or seven N? Yeah, that... What else is violent?
Starting point is 00:15:20 I guess the new Batman? The Joker. Oh, Joker. The Joker, big time. Oh, man. When I was a kid and I was reading those Batman comics, I always dreamed of watching the Joker blow Robert Zanero's head off. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And just seeing his blood spatter behind him. Yeah, that's... It seems like you would be... be at a truck week. I shouldn't be. And they rebuilt Montrose then. Oh, yeah. It's made out of just the worst.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Just shoddiest construction materials? Okay. So it could go at any... It could go at any moment. Just a big gust of wind would blow the whole thing to smithereens. Okay. But luckily, it's not very windy out there in Colorado. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:16:00 No. Not where we are. And basically, with Truck Week, I just want to reiterate, it's like one big orgy. You didn't say that the first time, so I'm not sure. you can reiterate something. Let me go ahead and reiterate this. If everyone's basically fucking and sucking all over the place. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Yeah, well, because everyone's trying to get with someone with the bigger truck or, you know, if they have a big truck, they're trying to lure a woman into it. Why doesn't everyone then just buy the biggest truck that's available or rumored to be available? That's what they do, Scott, having you been listening? That's why they have to listen to the rumors on the message boards on Facebook. So then what is Shart doing with this 450? Why doesn't he just exchange it for a 500? Well, because nobody knows where it is.
Starting point is 00:16:41 You have to find. You have to track down the 500. Okay. You think one might be there? I'm hoping, because it's rumored, that it will be. Okay. Me and my girls have been, me and my girls, Becky, Tosh, Kasha. Tosh.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Is Tash short for Natasha? Because we have a Natasha coming up on the show. I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure if Tash was meant to be here or not. Or is it Tosh like Daniel Tosh? It's, yeah. It's actually T-O-S-H. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Named after Daniel Tosh? Yeah. Wow. Okay. Yeah, we're young. Okay, yeah, yeah. Wait, how young are you, by the way? Really young.
Starting point is 00:17:20 18, though, right? Yeah. Okay, good. At least that's what my Vax card says. Okay, I don't know. Well, that's great, Kayla. I want you to stick around. You're serving sort of as my co-host today.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Oh, wow. It's such a bigger responsibility. It really is, because I need you in there. asking the tough questions. Oh, shit. Okay. You weren't prepared for this. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I'll see what I can do. Okay, great. Yeah. Well, we have to get to our guest of honor. Oh, wonderful. If that's all right. But she is a wonderful comedian. She's a wonderful actress and she's the host of a new show that just came out called
Starting point is 00:18:00 Rat in the Kitchen. And she's been on this show ever since probably the very first year. Please welcome back to the show from. Rockford, Illinois. Is that right? Natasha Legerro. I haven't been back to Rockford in like 12 years. Yeah. But I like that you made it seem like I'm not live from Rockford. I feel like we've talked about Rockford every single time you've been on the show. And I get it wrong thinking it's Rockville like the REM song. Because you say you haven't gone back there and I say don't go back to Rockford. And then we all laugh. And I've made that joke every time you've been on the show. Welcome back. Thanks for roping me into your dumb bits.
Starting point is 00:18:38 bits that everyone's sick of. Speaking of sick of, this is a cooking show. Sick of? No, people, what I'm saying is, as opposed to where people eat food and they get sick, this is good food. I ate some food and got sick yesterday.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Oh, no, what did you mean? I was promoting this show on Access Hollywood, and they were making Covece. And so I just ate it, and I've never been sick. You ate Access Hollywood Civece? But it was totally being prepared by the crew. And then it was... The crew?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Like the grips? Everyone, I mean, I don't know. Everyone chipped in on this Civeche? The prop master. You know, the prop master. Every single person got in on this. Everyone, I just saw people touching it. This is like murder on the Orient Express for Civece?
Starting point is 00:19:26 It was a mistake. And then, not only that, it was like sitting under the lights anyway. Wait, so did you have to drive home after? Were you going super fast? I was fine. And then two hours later, I was like, vomiting. And that's never happened to me before. So it wasn't shit.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It was vomit. Yes, yeah. That's why I'm talking about it. If there were shit, you would not bring it up. I would have just kept that to myself. For sure, for sure. So rat in the kitchen, this is a show that's on TBS. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yes, it's a cooking competition where me and Chef Ludo. Do you know Chef Ludo? I don't. Some great restaurants in L.A., Petitua. He's like a very world-renowned French chef. Why are you laughing? I just have. You know I'm a fan of your whole thing.
Starting point is 00:20:10 What's my whole thing? I'm just telling you. As we've talked about on previous episodes, and I mentioned Batman, my impression of Natasha is, who is the Batman? I do not like Batman. And then they came out with a movie called The Batman. And I was like, this is the bid with Natasha. Wait, there's a movie called The Batman? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Why? That's so funny. We're doing the bit right now. We're in the middle of it. The Batman. That's so funny. weird. Yeah, I don't really like Marvel movies and I don't quite understand why adults are forced to discuss them. You should go on Lauren Lapkis's podcast about them and Nicole Byer's podcast. Do they complain about it?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Well, they're now watching them. They haven't seen any of them and they're watching them one by one. I'll watch the, just the preview. Just the preview. That's enough. The thing is, is you don't get the end of the movie on the preview. You know what I mean? That's so weird. I had no idea. They should start including the end of the movie on the preview. So you can only just watch the preview. Oh, okay. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Whoa, cool idea. So maybe I will go on their podcast. So they don't like them, though. I have no idea whether they like them or not. But already, I've mentioned two other podcasts. I don't like doing that. It seems like you should be promoting your own a little bit more. Hey, everyone listen to Comedy Bang Bang.
Starting point is 00:21:29 People are already listening to this podcast. They are. Hopefully. Hopefully. So, yeah, so then it's a cooking competition and there's seven. And chefs, bring that mic right up by your mouth if you don't mind. Ranging from, you know, professional chefs to home chefs. Now, why is it called rat in the kitchen?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Because it seems to me like that's something you don't want in the kitchen. So it's like, wait a minute, now all of a sudden there's rats in this kitchen with all this good food? I don't understand. Okay, the rat is metaphorical and the rat is there to sabotage the other chefs. No. So there's a cash prize and the money eat. either goes to the chef's bank or the rat's bank. So you basically, one of your friends was on the show.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Yes, we have a good friend of ours is one of the chefs, one of the contestants on this show. But there's, and there's a new... He has not told us what happened in... It's been months since you've shot it, and he's kept tight-lipped and mum about everything, but I'm very excited to see the show. So, yeah, so it's a new cast every episode. So you can just kind of like come in anytime. And yeah, so then you get to see if the rat can successfully sabotage all the dishes.
Starting point is 00:22:35 and then chef Ludo, who everyone's trying to impress. And I get to taste the food as well, which was very fun. We get to decide if it either goes, you know, the rat one and fucked up the food. So it's like murderer kind of. Yes, it's very like clue. Yes. How do they fuck up the food? Like too much salt?
Starting point is 00:22:53 Spit. Spit? Well, spit you wouldn't taste, but I really hope people didn't spit in the food. That's fucking gross. So you don't know what they did to the food. Do people do that? I'm always afraid they will. Has someone he used to work in restaurants?
Starting point is 00:23:05 I can say... You spit in someone's food? No. Oh, okay, good. No. Restaurant roundup. I worked in a lot of restaurants and the temptation is there, but I never did. The worst thing that I ever did was that I served a table, an iced tea, and I brought back
Starting point is 00:23:21 the iced tea, the empty one. It had a straw. And I went to go refill it. And then another server took that iced tea that was refilled and put it on a table. So someone else's table. Hmm. And that's not the worst thing that you did. Because it sounds like it was a mistake that this other server.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I think health code-wise, you're probably not supposed to refill drinks like that. In someone else, in someone's glass, you're supposed to like constantly get a new glass? I mean, yeah. It's the risk. I remember eating people's chicken fingers after they left. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like if they would just take one. Well, that's just you being broke.
Starting point is 00:23:55 That's not like. Right. Well, that's, yeah. Sabotaging someone's food. I definitely did that too. Is that what one of these saboteurs would do is like serve you the food and then eat it when you guys were done with it? The food also has to be plated in the right way.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So there's a lot of different ways you can sabotage. You can like, you know, do some acting. Maybe you've forgotten some ingredients or drop some ingredients or, you know, there's like many. I don't really know if I'm allowed to give away there. Oh my goodness. God bless. We're getting a sneeze.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I've always held in my sneezes. I know. I don't think I've ever seen any sneezes before. I don't think that's good for you. I think it's really. My husband sneezes. He screams sneezes. That's what I do?
Starting point is 00:24:33 wildly. And it's actually. gotten louder since COVID and I'm like you need to read the globe like we are not doing that anymore screaming fucking globe screaming yeah you do that yeah both my parents do that how's it sounds it sounds like this oh that's better than Moshe's yeah what is motion this is motion this is Mosher by the way a friend of the show it's similar to that that made you cough to the point where like I'm like it's eternally, like, turned off, like, and not charmed by it, and then he'll look at me.
Starting point is 00:25:11 And then he's like, I really hate that. He's now phrasing it, like, I really hate that you've taken that away from me. It brings me so much joy to sneeze like that. Oh. So he does it intentionally. Yes. He loves it. It's like, like, like, it, because, you know, they say that sneezes are like part of an orgasm. Have you heard that? Is that true? It's like one. They're part of an orgasm or they're akin to an orgasm. They are an orgasm. So wait, Koolops never sneeze during sex. She's not doing well in there. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah, it's like one eighth of an orgasm. Oh, I think I've heard that. So if you sneeze eight times, it's like you had one orgasm. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. There is something orgasmic to what he's doing. Yeah. You're right.
Starting point is 00:25:51 He's like enjoying it so much. Yeah. But, but yes. So rat in the kitchen on TBS. Wow. Marx 31st. Can I ask a question? Has anyone ever, like, fake cut themselves and like bled all over the thing?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Oh, my God. That would be so funny. Like had a blood pack or like a squib or something like that that just exploded. Like, oh, no, I got shot in the food. That did not happen. But there was some really, like, for example, I've never eaten raw shrimp before. You know, like, people would say things are cooked and they're not cooked. And chef Ludo is, like, extremely serious about food.
Starting point is 00:26:26 So he, like, threw a sandwich at someone. I just got very. He threw a sandwich? Like a bon me or like? Yeah, I think it was a bonnet or something. I've gotten sandwiches thrown on me on the street. It's one of the best. By people in trucks?
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yes. It feels so good. What do they say when they throw it? They say, hey, you little piggy. Here's what a piggy like you would eat? Yeah. Okay. That's interesting because you are kind of tiny.
Starting point is 00:26:52 It's like a nice little fun thing for me. I'm four foot, by the way. Do you have any more questions, Scott? Well, what should I ask about this? Because it sounds like a great show. I have a question. Yes. Did you ever feel like because you were with an advanced, like, culinary chef like gluto, like that you didn't know what to say food-wise?
Starting point is 00:27:12 Like you kind of were like, oh, I don't know the terminology. Like this tastes good. You know, it's funny because I'm getting hints of food. That's actually funny. I should have said that. But I feel like my palate really developed working with him. And also, you know, my background is in theater criticism. So it was kind of easy to move over to like food criticism.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. Wait, your background is in theater? What do you mean by that? That's like what I majored in in college. That's what my degree is in. Yes. Wow. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Now, when we went to see West Side Story together at the Pantages. That was bad. But also, I was on mushrooms. Oh, that would be a great, a theater critic on mushrooms. Oh, that would be really good. Describe the show. And then they say, live from New York and Saturday night. I think I might do that.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah. That would be a good podcast for sure. So, but people don't really go see theater in L.A. I'm going to see the Lehman trilogy tonight. Oh. We'll see if it's good. Willie Lehman? Three white men in a three and a half hour production.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Sounds like a podcast. Now that, maybe I should take mushrooms for that. Oh, but my palate got very developed. I feel like, and I, but now I'm like really snobby of food. Like when motion, because he does all the cooking. So when Moshe cooks for me, I'm just kind of like, you know. This isn't chef. Chef Luda level.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Ludo. Like a little dry. I thought it was ludicrous. I thought that's who you've been talking about this entire time for the Fast and Furious franchise. Chef Ludo is so talented. And he's like, he had this dish at his restaurant that was like eel with white chocolate mashed potatoes. And I was like, how did you think of that? And he's like, it was from a dream.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I woke up and I had a dream about these flavors together. Like that's kind of his vibe. Okay. And also when we were in Atlanta shooting, we would go to the same Thai restaurant. every night. And I'm with this world-renowned chef, and I'm like, don't you want to, like, go to different restaurants? And he's not a foodie.
Starting point is 00:29:09 He's like, no, I don't want to be inspired. Oh, so he doesn't even, he, oh, that's like me and other podcasts. Oh, interesting. Yeah. He doesn't want to, like, taste other people. I mean, I'm sure he wants to taste other people's food, but he doesn't want to be, like, inadvertently. I'm like the chef Ludo of podcasts.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Wouldn't you agree? This show came to me in a dream. I mean, this particular episode. Did it really? Sounds like a fucking nightmare. Oh, yeah. That might have been. The interesting thing is where I'm from Rockford, I bet you they host a truck week.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Ooh, no way. Does every town have their- I didn't know that any other state would do a truck week? Yeah. I can't imagine that. Crazy. I'm sure they do. I mean, they should have different truck weeks like 52 weeks of the year in different places.
Starting point is 00:29:49 So you could just make the round. Constant truck week, yeah. Yeah, that would be good for me. Okay. You said, I'll be done. I'm going to go. Oh, please, stick around. Well, there's a, what's it called when they race track?
Starting point is 00:30:04 Oh, yeah. You know, like, what's, like a track? What's it called when they race track? The speedway. The speedway is really big there. Oh, good. So it's good for trucks. Yeah, like I just assume anywhere where the speedway is the main attraction.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Yeah, for sure. Kayla likes big trucks. She doesn't like fast cars, though. I see. Yeah, I think for me, I, my favorite kind of person who owns a truck is someone who doesn't need to own a truck at all. It's a choice. It's a choice to... Yeah, it's not a lifestyle for them in terms of like what they need the truck for.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah, it's not like they're on a farm and they need a truck. It's just someone who lives in an area where you do not need a huge truck. I have a question too, Kayla. Yeah. What is your favorite decor for a truck? Like, are you a fan of the balls? Are you a fan of the... Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah, the truck nuts. Is that a thing that you like... Massive nuts, for sure. Maybe multiple pairs. Ooh. In the interior, I like any kind of, like, clearly they re-apulstered it, with something bright, like a really intense red. Maybe they cover it with some flames on the outside I would be open to.
Starting point is 00:31:10 But largely just so long as it kind of almost looks like the truck has hips. You know, when there's like in the back there's maybe four wheels. Oh, okay. So when they widen it out. So it's like, yeah, so it's like it's got an ass on it. Yeah, exactly. And then four nuts hanging down from the back. It's sort of this beautiful, like, in-between gender in a way.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah. Like, it has those childbirths and those big fucking nuts. I love it. It's so hot. Yeah. So that's, like, kind of the guys that I grew up around smoking bulls and big trucks like that. Yeah. What does Moshe drive, by the way?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Not to constantly bring it back to your partner, but... Mosha, I don't care about cars at all. I am not... I like old... I like the look of old cars, but I'm certainly not going to be responsible for one. I don't want to be, like, sitting in a, in a mechanics shop all afternoon. Yeah. You can drop them off and then get a rental.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Every person I know who has an old car is always going to the mechanic. It seems like so much work. I don't want to go to the mechanic. Got it. So, anyway, he had this Mitsubishi white car that. Why are you laughing? I mean, I don't know. It's just some family car.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's just the way she says any brand name or any. I love it. Okay. So then he had this car and he really wanted to test. And I'm like, I do not want to drive a Tesla because my lease was, I had a mini and we have a kid. He's like, I can't take the mini. Every time he would put the kid in the mini, it was like his blood pressure. Mini Cooper, you mean?
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yes. Okay, got it. It's too small for him. So I was like, okay, I'll take your dumb Mitsubishi. You take the Tesla. He's like, well, let's just share both cars. And I'm like, absolutely not. He's such a mess.
Starting point is 00:32:46 He's got like his crap everywhere. I don't want to like, he went from smoking cigarettes to vaping to gum to toothpicks to now those those pat those, um. The patches? No, it's not a patch. It's like a pouch. A pouch you suck on in your mouth. So those are, there's always like a place to put all.
Starting point is 00:33:05 It's an oral fixation. Or he's addicted to nicotine. Right. The pipeline is. Probably the oral fixation. Cigarettes to. To e-cigarettes. To e-cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:33:15 To e-cigues. Oh, cool. E-juice to the gum, which I didn't mind. Okay. It would get stuck in the dogs first sometimes. Because, you know, if you're chewing this all day long, it's going places. But he's probably putting it under like. In the car, couching.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Why don't have the trash can. Well, but it's happening so much, you know, and he's absent-minded. You can't be constantly throwing things away all day. You got just sticking in the dogs fur. The toothpicks I partaked in. Those were kind of cool. Yeah, I like toothpicks. But then he started doing short.
Starting point is 00:33:42 You were like a toothpick couple for a while? A little bit, yeah. I would always threw mine away. And then now those pouches, like, I can't deal. So I'm like, it's your car. You want to fill it up with this nicotine stuff. So, long story short, he has a Tesla. and now I just have his like old Mitsubishi that he still had like two years left on his lease
Starting point is 00:34:01 that he picked out and the Tesla I just I just don't get it. Yeah. It's all about the Tesla. Do you have one, Scott? You seem like you would. You definitely have one somewhere. People are constantly trying to tell me to get a Tesla but I just can't deal with the dude who makes them.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I can't deal with that dude either. I love him. It's so high-made. So if he were to drive by in a Tesla or what's that big truck that he has a big truck? Yeah, they made like a big electric truck. What do they call it? It's like minus the electric. I'm all over that.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Okay, yeah. I like it when guys have to fill up multiple times a day. Yeah, especially with gas prices these days. Yeah, that's hot. That's a man. I don't even know that Elon Musk could afford that. Just like $150 every two hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Do not get a Tesla. It is like driving inside of an iPhone. I really hate it. I like to turn off my computer. You know, like if there's no downtime. When you're driving, you want to turn off your computer. Well, yeah, metaphorically, kind of. Well, Radin the Kitchen is out right now.
Starting point is 00:35:08 It's on every Thursday, I believe, on TBS, but you can watch it on the TBS app, I'm sure, and everywhere else you watch it. And, you know, I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to see it. It sounds really good. I'll go to Chef Ludo's restaurant. Yeah, please, invite us. Or that Thai restaurant you guys used to go to, well, just go there. That wasn't Atlanta. That wasn't even good food.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I'll fly there. I mean, drive there and someone's drive. All right, we have to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more with Natasha, more with Kayla Dickie. And we have someone who is in the medical profession and someone in the food industry. Maybe the person in the food industry can talk to you about chef loot or something like that. That's very exciting. We'll be right back with more comedy bang gang after this. Comedy bang gang. We're back. Natasha Leggero is here, rat in the kitchen on TBS. Thursdays or streaming anywhere and a wonderful show that people can check out. Do you have a special or anything coming up?
Starting point is 00:36:02 I have a book coming out, but it's not coming out until November, so I'm going to make you have me back. Okay, you'll be gone until November then. We can have, you know, little six months off. What's your book about? Can I even talk about that? Yes, my book is called, well, it was supposed to come out in July, but because of the supply chain shortages. Oh, the supply chain. The supply chain. From the truck situation.
Starting point is 00:36:25 It's a real thing. They've actually run out of paper in America. No way. So my book now comes out in November. Paperless post must be thrilled. It's called The World Deserves My Children. And it is essays about parenting and being an older parent, having your life established and then becoming a parent, which is kind of the opposite of how our parents did it.
Starting point is 00:36:47 And parenting in environmental panic and, you know, how to not raise a complete brat. But it was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. Really? Well, because... Even harder than raising your child. Writing about raising your child is harder than raising the child itself. Well, writing about raising a child while raising a child in a pandemic, that was very hard. Writing about raising about...
Starting point is 00:37:08 It was so hard. It was like, because, you know, sitting down and writing, that's such a solitary thing. And that's not really, you know, my... That's not where I'm in the pocket. Yeah. Meanwhile, Moshe's out there just chewing on his pouches. Stop bringing on. It's like, she's here.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Like, we should be focusing on her. You haven't asked about Shart once. Yeah, that's a good point. What is Shard do for a living, by the way? He must. He makes anti-va-mix bags cards. There's no way he doesn't suck on those pouches, though. He definitely does know.
Starting point is 00:37:37 He has chew or something. He just straight up, he vapes everywhere and he smokes at the same time. Oh, interesting. He smokes and vapes. I loved vaping, and I would keep doing it, but it's just, it feels like maybe it could give you cancer or something. Yeah, it's definitely something. We don't know. The jury's still out on this whole tobacco.
Starting point is 00:37:53 thing. No, vaping, though. No, I know, but... Vaping doesn't have tobacco. It's nicotine. It's nicotine. Okay, so it's purely just nicotine. You don't have any...
Starting point is 00:38:02 You're not... I don't have any vices. I keep it straight and narrow. What about chocolate? No. What about... I never had it. Comic book collection.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Nope. What about fried food? No, no. Absolutely not. No? None. Sex addict. Yeah, definitely sex addict.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Hey, stop pointing at me. Stop pointing at my penis. All right. Speaking of penises, we know. need to get to our next guest. He has one. He's in the food industry. Please welcome adjacent Manzoukis. Hello, Scott. How are you? Nice to be here. It's so great to be here. I love to be here and to see you, Scott. It's great to have you. I love it. Thank you. Your name is adjacent Manzookas. I get this all the time. I mean, he's my, he's my next door neighbor. Oh, he is? Yep. And that's
Starting point is 00:38:46 and that's why you're called Adjacent Manzucas. Well, I'm called Jason Manzooks because that is my name. And I happen to live next door to Jason Manzook. I see. He's a great guy. He's a great neighbor. I have no complaints about him. He keeps a great car. I heard you talk about cars before. He keeps a great car.
Starting point is 00:39:02 What does that mean? He keeps it clean. He keeps it out of my driveway. It'd be weird if he started just parking in your driveway. That would be weird. But no, he keeps it in his own driveway, own garage, and I've got no complaints with him as a neighbor. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:39:14 So he's a good neighbor, but... Fantastic guy. But you have your own thing going on. That's right. This is not my thing. I should say that. Jason Manzook is me being his... neighbor is not my thing. Oh, okay. Your thing is you're in the food industry. I'm in the food industry.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Thank you, because I want to be, I'm here to talk about my new show. I got, uh, grilling with Zooks. It's on YouTube. Grilling with the Zooks. Grilling with the Zooks. Like zucchini. No, like Zooks. My last name is Manzuka, so my friends and are you related to Jason Manzukas? I live next door to Jason. No, I know you live next door to him, but you're not related to it. You know how and everybody loves Raymond. They lived across the street from there. I love that show so much. I've only seen, no, I haven't seen much of that show. I've seen clips of it, but I did not realize that. Where are you watching clips of everybody who loves Raymond?
Starting point is 00:40:00 YouTube, you can get everything on YouTube. For sure you can. There's so much good material. There's a lot. Any show you want, you just watch clips of it online. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so no relation other than the fact that you've spoken to him, right?
Starting point is 00:40:13 I'm sorry, yeah, I'll buy our mailboxes. I said, hello. Your mailboxes are next door to each other as well? Yeah, they are. Now that I think of it, yes, they are. So it's almost like their tiny little neighbors as well. That's true. For brief periods of time, our mail is neighbors.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Can you believe it? And every time we go out there, it's a sad event because they have to move away from each other. So yeah. So anytime you open letters and take them out of the mailbox, you're killing them. You're separating these great neighbors. You separate them and then you rip their bodies open and pull their guts out. So maybe stick to emails. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Wow. Mail is so violent when you really think about it. Mail is violent. A lot of people use a mail opener, you know, a little. knife. Yeah. Cut it open and... Well, what would you prefer?
Starting point is 00:40:55 Like a nice clean knife or just tearing it open with your bare hands? What I do is I take my envelopes and I steam them over some water and lift them open slowly, very carefully, very slowly. Take out the mail. Put that aside. Seal it back up and I put it back in the mailbox. So your mailbox must just be full of empty envelopes. I'm in a... What's the word I'm looking for?
Starting point is 00:41:19 A row? Is that like a fight? A roo? A row. A row. A row. A row. A row with my mailman. But you should know what a rue is because you're in the food industry, couldn't you? That's what I was so curious about. Because I'm in the kitchen around my grill. I'm a grill master.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Oh, you are? Yeah. That's what the new show is about. It's, you know, grill and lozooks. I'm always talking about rows. I need more rows. Bring me a bowl of roll, please. I'm always making rue with my grill. Rue. That's what I say is rue. So, you're a chef, but you're asking people to bring you bowls of roules of roe. instead of just making it yourself? Well, yeah, they're my assistant. And they suck at their jobs.
Starting point is 00:41:56 And that's why I end up having to get away from the grill going to pick up the stuff. Right back. Got it. Yeah. So the new show, grilling. Grilling with zoos is going to be on YouTube. Check that out.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Did you move to your place because Jason Manzukas live there and you knew that? Not to constantly bring it back to Jason Manzuchas. I just do want to say that my thing is not Jason Manzookas. Okay. That's not what we should be focusing. I live next to him. My name is adjacent. Your thing is definitely the letters that we were talking about.
Starting point is 00:42:26 My thing is the letters, but also this grill show. I got this grill show on YouTube. No, I want to talk about the grill show. I'm just fat. Because it's a great show. I don't know that I've ever even heard of two people with the same last name living next door to each other, even if it was Smith or something like that. It would be such a strange coincidence.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You don't know, Ray Romano. Adjacent Sidacus? Now you're having fun with me. You just haven't phoned me. And I like it. I like it. That's great. You like people having fun with you.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Is that your thing? That's part of my thing. Part of my thing is that have people have fun. Eat grilled, great grilled food. Chopped steaks. Chopped steaks? Chopped? Oh,
Starting point is 00:43:04 Chops. Oh, okay. Chicken. I have a food question. Sure. I feel like grilled food can be very boring. And there should be more of a movement to like always have like some kind of flavor bomb, rue sauce or something, right?
Starting point is 00:43:19 That's good. Can I steal out of that? idea from you? Yes, you can. Edit that part out that I'm stealing this idea to make the grill. Okay, we'll definitely add it. Can I ask, do you make anything cool, like, beer nuggets? Well, I assume you mean cool and, like, the temperature sense. This is a hot grill.
Starting point is 00:43:39 No, I mean, they're a hot food. It's just they're called beer nuggets. Do you make them? No. What are they? Is it you put a beer on the grill? Because I do that, a beer bottle, and it shoots and breaks open. You put that on the grill?
Starting point is 00:43:53 I do that at the end of every episode we pick a bottle or a can of something we put it on the grill and it blows up. So there's just like glass everywhere. Glass and tin and everything all over the place. And then you cook on that the next time. No, that's at the end of the episode. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Did I not make that clear? Oh, that's like the big fireworks show at the end of the episode. Yeah, and it splashes up and through graphic designs that we have the credits of the show sort of spelled out in the... In the glass. The liquid and glass and some blood because I get some blood on me.
Starting point is 00:44:20 So this is like CGI? Yeah, CGI. Okay. That's right. That's right. And the credits just kind of drip down from the top of the screen. Right, because, you know, you're so used to the credits going top to bottom. So we do that too.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So it's not different. It's the usual. No, but this is spelled out liquid in glass and blood. That's so cool. Great. Thank you. That's what I said. And the producers, I got a team of producers.
Starting point is 00:44:49 They did not see it that way. And then we got into a row about it. Great. And I said, bring me a rue in the row. I wanted to throw the rue at them. So is that the most unique part of your show? Because it sounds like the show itself is just you grilling things? Well, I'm teaching you how to grill things.
Starting point is 00:45:06 You're not just watching me. I see. Does Jason Manzookas, does he appear on the show? If he has not yet, if for some reason during the pandemic. Does he have a show next door to yours? No, I think the stuff I've seen him in, I've only seen the league. Do you film Infinite in the studio next door? Like, are you guys filming next door to each other all the time?
Starting point is 00:45:26 No, no. He's asking about other men, except for Schart. What do you want me to ask you about Shart? I don't know. What he's like personality-wise? What's his personality? Bad? Really bad.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Are you saying Shark? Shart. Shart. It's like Shark Week. It's like Shark Week with a T. Oh, good. Oh, that's good. His last name is T.
Starting point is 00:45:49 It's teeth? Tee. Teeth? Teeth? Teeth? Shart teeth. Shart teeth. So I'm having a tough time.
Starting point is 00:45:57 My head's all stuffed up. So I'm having a tough time hearing. You can probably hear it in my nose. Jason Manzook. Well, I've never heard you without the stuffed up nose. So I just thought that was your voice. You didn't get that voice memo. I said it to your assistant say, this is what I sound like just so.
Starting point is 00:46:10 This is my baseline. You know who you sound like is adjacent Manzuka, or no, adjacent Sedakis on Ted Lasso. You have that same vibe. Oh, that's... Can I tell you I've only seen season one? I've only seen one episode. Oh. Well, who's better in this situation?
Starting point is 00:46:28 Good question. I mean, is it a race or do you want to not watch the popular show? You want to be the last person to watch the final episode. Right. And then tell everyone what you think after they talk about it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So your show is you teaching people how to grill...
Starting point is 00:46:42 Right. And Jason Anzuka's not involved. He's not... I was going to say if he, if I'm doing an episode from home, and maybe we see out the window. Sometimes you do episodes from home? I join the pandemic. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:54 If he's outside or I see him walk by his window or if he's getting mail or something, he might be in frame. He's mowing his lawn. Mowing his lawn. Whatever he wants to do, he can do. That's not my business. My business is grilling,
Starting point is 00:47:06 taping it, videotaping it, and cutting it up, editing it, putting it online, ending it with broken beer bottle, blood suds. Blood suds. Bloods and a little bit of mud. So like, what's a typical meal that you would teach me to make if I was watching?
Starting point is 00:47:22 Well, now, let me ask you, what do you, are you a vegan? No. Perfect. Okay, this is going to be the show for you. So what if someone is a vegetarian or a vegan? Because I hate when they just give you vegetables. I would suggest to them just, you know, scrub to the end of the video and watch the thing explode. Because that'll be the most exciting part for you.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Right. So it sounds like your show is boring, but the credits are interesting. Is that what I'm getting? I wouldn't say the show is boring. the host sometimes can be boring. But you're the host. Yeah. I don't bring much to it.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Right, right. Well, I mean, it sounds like... But that is my thing. Okay, but it sounds like all you have for the show is just, hey, I grill some stuff in the end. You put salt and pepper on it, that's it. Salt and pepper, I'm going to do the butter. I'm going to put it on.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Clarified butter. Okay, but all that, none of that is unique. We got graphics to say, what I'm doing, it kind of comes up on. That sounds good. Yeah, that sounds good. Yeah, that's fun. That's a big part of it, fun with the graph. What do the graphics look like?
Starting point is 00:48:20 White text. It just says text. Currier new font. What I'm putting in comes up on the side. And then what I do sometimes, I'll wave my hand in the graphic design. People make the words fly away. It sounds like a really big team that you have. Yeah, it takes a village to grill a steak is what I always say.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Okay. I will start saying that on the show. How many people are involved? Oh, eight. It's not really a village. How long are the videos? They're like four minutes, five minutes? The longest one is 30 minutes, the shortest one is 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:48:58 That was... Yeah, what happened to the 30 second one? The 30 second one, I said, bring me the chicken. Because we're doing chicken that day. Right. Okay, makes sense. The assistant walks out. It makes the perfect sense.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Chicken in 30 seconds sounds raw. Yeah, what happened? I said, bring me raw chicken. And the assistant, they were new, they brought out the raws chigo eggs. Oh. And so I opened, I didn't want to, you know. You opened one. I didn't want to cut, you know.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Yeah, so you opened an egg. I opened an egg. It's just, I put it over some steam. Sure. And coaxed it open. On the grill. And then put that on the grill and it fell through. And I said, well, folks, I'm going to put this bottle of champagne on here.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Let's see what you have to. Let's watch it fly. Champagne, that's expensive. I mean, but for a 30-second show, I mean, you got to do. do something special. And I tell you some, I didn't want to make this my thing, but you know, where I got the champagne? Where? And God, I hope he's not. Does he listen to the show, Jason Manzook? Yeah, he's an avid listener, yeah. Wait, you got it from his place? I, you know, he got a bottle of celebrate-a-mouth champagne because they just finished season, and it was in his mailbox, and I looked left,
Starting point is 00:50:03 I looked right. He wasn't out there that day, and I stuck it home because... You stole it from him? I stole it. I stole a bottle of champagne. That's his celebratory big-mouth champagne. I know, and I know he, the big-mouth folks got in real big trouble and he Because he was upset I can only am Because he has a temper And once he hears that Nick got celebratory
Starting point is 00:50:23 I don't know who that is Oh Nick Kroll Once he hears his good buddy Nick Kroll Got celebratory big mouth champagne And he didn't he would be pissed Yeah he would probably mad So I do want to If you're listening Jason I apologize
Starting point is 00:50:35 But that was the champagne that you blew up But Jason it did go to good use Go on and check out episode Chicken Breasts And you didn't do a follow-up episode like chicken breast two where you actually did? No, I don't do that. Chicken run. We don't revisit.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So every type of food you only do once. Yep. And if it goes badly, that's how it goes. So are you running out of food to do? Let's see. Well, what else? Fish on the grill? Have you tried that?
Starting point is 00:51:01 No, that's good. And there's so many types of fish. You've been in the ocean, yeah? Yeah, but the fish seems hard to cook on the grill. Yeah, you scale them, cut them. Let me see. You scale and cut them filet them on, yeah. Skin side down.
Starting point is 00:51:13 You can do that or you can take a skinner right off I'm getting, okay, and not to insult you. I don't, you know, when people come on in the show, I don't. I would love that. You would love it. If you did not do that. Oh, if I did not. Oh, okay, because some people love it when you insult them. It's like the Comedy Central roasts, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Like Natasha's done these. It's called nagging. It's called nagging. It's called nagging, yeah. I love it. So some people love it. Okay. And I don't want to insult you.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Great. But it sounds to me like what you want to be your deal, your show is boring. I want it to be. be boring? No, no. What you want to be your deal is boring. Oh, I get what you're saying. My show, my brand new show, it's coming out soon. Yeah, it's boring. What's it called? It's called... Zooks on
Starting point is 00:51:53 the grill. Zooks on the grill. That's right. Yeah. So that's... No, I was it grilling with the Zooks? Grilling with something like that. When I rewatch him, I skip past it. Whatever it is, it's so anodyne and boring that I couldn't even remember it. But what's interesting about you is the fact that you live next door to Jason Manzookas.
Starting point is 00:52:09 The interesting thing, to me, and I don't want to insult you. Yeah. Oh, I don't know if that's even possible, but go ahead. Well, okay. I'm not going to try to live up to Don Rickles standard. Okay, yeah. Is that boring to me?
Starting point is 00:52:25 No, because I did mention the exploding at the end, and I mentioned... That part is good. The mishap, like the mishap with the egg is kind of a blooper. That was fine. And people love bloopers online. Yeah, but I mean, anytime that we ask you any kind of question about, like, what would you do if you put fish on the grill? It comes out just boring. Like, oh, scale it, put it on the grill.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Oh, well, I'm sort of teasing you. I'm trying to teasing you into the episodes. Watch. Watch the episodes. See what I, see what Zooks is going to do next. Like, what's the most interesting episode that you've done? We had a live, well, we had a live lobster, and I had to chase him around. He was fast.
Starting point is 00:52:59 That was a fast lobster. A big part of that one. How fast was he going? You've seen that cartoon with the, the, the, Wiley Coyote? Yeah, but the other one. The Roadrunner. Yeah. He's going like.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Seems to be like 200 miles an hour. Go two ticks down. That was the lobster. Okay, so 198? 198. All over the yard. And I'm yelling, get the fucking thing back here. I've got a knife in my hand.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I'm swinging it everywhere. My glasses fall off, so I can't see a thing. And it is night time for this episode. Why? Because we wanted to do... We had a series going with the late-night Zooks. So this is one of the late-night Zooks episode. This is late-night Zooks.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Okay. And so I'm swinging. swinging that around. You're swinging the knife around. Your glasses fall off. Right. And one of my neighbors, I remember. Which one?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Jason Manzuka's? Well, again, my glasses were off. And they were sunglasses. They were prescription. I'm curious who lives next door to you on the other side. It's open now. It's an open house. Open house?
Starting point is 00:54:02 It's an open house. Yeah, you can come by and you can take a walk through. How long has it been on the market? Since the beginning of the pandemic. Oh, okay. Yeah. So they are losing. So they're acting a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Yeah. Yeah, okay. So one of your neighbors would have to be Jason Manzuka's. It could have been somebody from behind me or across the street. And they said, so I don't know who it was exactly. Again, my glasses were off. And they said, would you stop it?
Starting point is 00:54:25 I'm trying to do a voiceover for the league document DVDs. For the behind the scenes. This is Jason Manzookas. Could have been. You know what? Or it could have been, would you say, Kroll? He could have been looking at the house next door. And doing his voice.
Starting point is 00:54:42 overwork for the like commentary because they've been renting out the house for parties and voice overwork I was going to say I actually follow I'm realizing I follow Jason Manzook is on Twitter oh yeah he's it what's his Twitter at L-I-Y-Y-Y I right yeah wait a second I'm sorry isn't Jason Manzukas not online oh no he has a secret burner account what did you because I always thought that was so cool it's a really simple handle L-A-Y Y-I-L-Y L-I-L-Y L-I-L-Y L-I-L-Y-L-A-L-L-A-L-L-A-L- on the internet without anyone knowing Well, maybe we shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Oh, no, he's fine with it. Oh, okay. No, yeah, he likes it. Follow him. Yeah, you should be next door to him on Twitter as well. Can you do that? So every time he or I tweet, we have to do it right away. Hey, Jason, I'm tweeting.
Starting point is 00:55:27 All right, Jason. So did you ever catch the lobster? Yes, we did. And let me tell you something. He was not happy. And I was not happy with him. So I snapped his neck. We didn't just drop him in the boiler.
Starting point is 00:55:40 He just killed him. You didn't even eat him. Because he was like a revenge kind of thing at that point. Yeah, at that point, you son of a bitch, you make me run around. I think the best kind of food that you can have is just taken straight from the nature. So, like, for us, like, in Colorado, we eat, like, a ton of elk and stuff. Like, have you ever done anything with elk? Like, I'll hit it deer and then we'll eat it for months.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Yeah, we did a venison, we did venison jerky. We bought some venison jerky and put that on the grill and heated up. Grill. Grill? So he didn't even, like, dry it. You just, like... Well, it dried out even more if you didn't believe it. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I can't. I couldn't believe it either. Okay, so that was your most interesting episode. How many views you getting on these things? Yeah. Um, if we have a video up for a month, seven million? Seven million?
Starting point is 00:56:30 For a month, and then I don't really check after the month. We don't keep track of it after that. That's viral. So who are this? You're keeping track of it before then? We do, yeah, the two members on the team, the eight, one of the eight, the crazy eights we call them. One of the crazy eights keeps the track of it.
Starting point is 00:56:45 But once it hits seven million after a month, no, after the month. So who are these? 30 million, we've had up to 30 million. We've had up down to 100,000. Who are these Zook's heads out there? Like who we talk and who's the average man? Who likes your show? It could be, you know, it's a lot of people because some people come for the grilling.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Some people come that they love action chases and that type of thing. How many episodes are you unable to catch the, the thing that you're about to grill, yeah. Most. Really? Okay. Most. So you've successfully grilled a lobster after you snapped his neck.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Oh, I ended up not, no, I ended up not grilling him. Oh, really? You just snapped the neck? I snapped his neck and said, you make me run around my yard on his all this broken glass. Like, I don't know shoes, no glasses. I ought to kick your ass, but I already killed him. I kicked his ass a little bit anyway. I had one of the crazy eight's string him up.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Like a bigniata? And you just beat the shit out of it. Punching bag, yeah. Oh, okay. Holy field. Everlast is what I'm trying to say. Everlast punching bag. Speed ball.
Starting point is 00:57:48 So the episode ended with you just punching this dead lobster. Yeah. And as I was doing it, I said, hey, put a beer on the grill. And they came out with a bush light. I think it was Bush light that episode. Okay. And that gets seven million views. People love it.
Starting point is 00:58:05 People seem to love it. And so the one that you were able to actually put. on the grill is the ilk jerky. Yeah. And that's it. That wasn't the only one. I think we talked about me three or four episodes. I've been doing this for five years.
Starting point is 00:58:19 I've got to do one a week. Okay. You do the math. How many? So 250, 260 episodes. Did you do the math? I did. There you go.
Starting point is 00:58:27 And how many things have you actually grilled? In that time, about, oh, we've probably gotten 30 successful pieces of meat. Successful things right there. From raw to cooked to put on a plate. Right. Eating off camera. eaten off camera. Yeah, we don't like to see.
Starting point is 00:58:42 We don't like the fans don't like the mouth, chew, noise. Right. I have a question. Sure. So, like, on Guy Fieri, that's how you say, Fieri, Fieri. Yeah, Fieri. I've been hearing Fieri. Fieri.
Starting point is 00:58:52 There is a R in memory. Fieri. I think it's Italian or something. Okay, so guy, Fieri. Yeah. Fieri. He'll bring in his, like, sons when they, like, tape stuff at his house. Do you ever bring in, like, other people?
Starting point is 00:59:06 Never been married, never had a son, never had a daughter. I am sterile. It was a growing up living next to very close to power lines. How close? Like through your bedroom? Well, where my bathroom was. Really? You had to step over a power line, straddling to the toilet.
Starting point is 00:59:24 So what, did your parents just build the house and we're like, you know, we got to... They bought it from some crooked... If I can say this, uh, schnuck. Is that a word I can say on the... I think so. Okay. I think we can still say schnook. right? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Is that good? I don't know what that is. It's a, I guess, how would you describe it? I don't know that I want to. I would have said like a jerk or a fool or something. I sort of said that as a joke
Starting point is 00:59:51 like, can we say this? But is that a bad thing? I know, I think it's all right. I didn't mean any offense by it. I hope you didn't take offense about it. So you, so you're sterile, rat.
Starting point is 01:00:01 And that has prevented you from getting married because some women would like that. Not the women I meet or the women I'm interested in. I want a woman who had, a big family. I like sterile men. I think it's hot. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:13 So your thing is you like women who want a big family, but you're unable to provide. No, my thing is I got a grilling show. And I got a grilling show. Scott's always trying to get to what people's thing is. Yeah. Well, I just, you know.
Starting point is 01:00:24 And I told you right off the bat, my thing. I know, but someone comes on with the name adjacent Manzookas. Sure. And then immediately says that's not part of his thing. I don't know what I can tell you about that other than the fates of the world gave me the name adjacent.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Did you buy the house and you, knew who lived there or who moved there first? That is a good question. It almost seems like from the dawn of time we were just living there. But no, to give you an honest answer, I lived there and then he moved in. He moved in. Okay. So he, and was he surprised when he found he was living next to someone who, you know, it's funny. I don't know if we ever discussed. He knows my name's adjacent, but I don't know if he knows my last name. Your last name. What's on your mailboxes? Uh, mine's A. A.J. and his is AJ as well. AJ? Why AJ?
Starting point is 01:01:10 I mean, he's JM. Hey, mine's H.M. Are you lying? AJ. I'm not lying about that. I just was not thinking when I was talking, okay? That happens to me from time to time. Because everyone is while someone comes on here and is lying.
Starting point is 01:01:25 No. And we get down to the bottom of it. Oh, that's like a rat in the podcast. Yes. Are you trying to sabotage this podcast? I would never. This is an important podcast for Natasha. He's the rat. He's the rat. I knew it. Natasha should probably try to flush me out from the rat.
Starting point is 01:01:38 He's a saboteur, I can tell. Hey! You spit in the mic. In English, please. You're trying to sabotage things. Well, I did spit in somebody's food. I don't know who that was. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Was it the beer? I think it was your own. Yeah, you're the only one eating. Okay, yeah, that was my own food. So it's fine. Okay. So, okay, so you have a terrible show. I have a show that does well online.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It does really, really well, but it seems like in spite of you. In spite of you. of, I don't know what the What are the views on the ones where you actually cook something? Those are hot too. I mean,
Starting point is 01:02:12 those are up in the 8, 9 millions for the month. Because people want to see it success, but people always want to see a little bit fun. That's more than most network shows. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I know. Well, you know, everything's moving online. I found. Okay, so you don't have any interesting thoughts on that either. So you're moving? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Like what you just said is pretty cliche and pretty boring. So really the interesting thing about that does hurt my feeling. The interesting thing about you is who you live next door to. No. Your weird name. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Your credits of your show. And then most of the episodes you aren't successful in actually cooking something. Right. The book I'm coming out with is going to be good. What's your book? Natasha has a book coming out in November. I heard about the essay's book. What is your book, though?
Starting point is 01:02:55 Well, my book is catered towards my fans who watch the show and grill with me and eat and, you know, eat that much meat. You're going to gain weight. So it is lose weight while you masturbate. is the name of show. But that is not the interesting thing here. The show is the... No, that sounds interesting. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:03:14 It's a book. Everyone has weight loss books. It's not a big deal. You go to the library. You go to Barnes & Noble's a whole section full of weight loss. No, but the process, how are you losing weight while you're masturbating? Because that's not enough energy just doing that. I mean, maybe you're not working hard enough, Scott.
Starting point is 01:03:31 If you just do that all day, you're not going to lose weight necessarily unless you don't eat. You're going to lose a... Maybe a pound of sperm? Yeah, it's a pound even. Good for you. Good for me. Okay, so that's kind of interesting. Yeah, it's mostly doing sit-ups and jerking off.
Starting point is 01:03:51 At the same time? Yeah, well, it's like sit-up, jerk off, all-go, sit-up, get up, sit-up, and we got one for ladies. Got to say that. A chapter for ladies or an entirely different book? Somebody of the crazy eight's working on that one. Okay. All right. So Jason Manzuchus.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Yeah. You sound like you have kind of an interesting thing, like on the periphery of where you are. I don't know. Maybe all these, what you say, boring things add up to a pretty okay guy who's just got a show that's going to... Just a sterile, sterile man who lives next door to a Jason Manzuchas and explodes a beer bottle at the end of every episode. Cutting yourself open and then you turn that into the crime. I think I know what's happening. What's that? I think that Scott is jealous.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Oh, Scott. Because Scott's podcast, there's no way he's getting millions of hits the way you are. You look good in the gray t-shirt. Your throwing shade does not look good on you? And jealousy is not your look. So green, I don't look good in green. Is that what you're trying to say? That was off the cuff.
Starting point is 01:04:56 All of my shows were scripted tightly. Really? So even the chasing the lobster around, that was scripted. Yeah. Why didn't you talk about this at the beginning? That's interesting. What is skilled lobster? Lobster.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Lobster actor? The casting process. And to come in and know he's going to die as well at the end of this. Yeah, well, he had a death wish, I think. All right. He was related to. I have a little more to say about the lobster. Just one tidbit.
Starting point is 01:05:23 Okay. He was the grandson of Dr. Jack of Orkian. That's all I'll say about that. Check out, grilling with Zooks coming at you every other day. Every other day. You said once a week We do once a week But every other day we repost it
Starting point is 01:05:39 Okay So we have to wipe Wipe those views clean Laps the views so You don't even care about At the end of the month That's $7 million in two days Wow
Starting point is 01:05:48 All right well Jason Manzuka We have to take a break When we come back We have someone in the medical profession So we'll get a little medical advice This is exciting We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this
Starting point is 01:05:59 Comedy Bang Bang We're back. Natasha Legerro is here. Rat in the kitchen. See, this is a show. Where? I'm kidding. I'm kidding. What I'm saying is, like, this is an interesting hook for a show. I hope we get 7 million views. Yeah. Maybe you don't need to be interesting. Maybe that's... Yeah, I mean, your show is not... I mean, this is Jason Manzoukas, who also has a cooking show. Your show doesn't have... No, I'm a Jason Manzukas and I have a... Oh, yes, okay. Aside from Natasha, I also have one. I thought your point was a... Jason Manzugas, who also has a cooking show.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Please stop. But what you may think is, you know, go ahead. Go ahead. I do think there's something to people being less interesting and it being better TV. For example, Vanessa Lichet on Love is Blind. It's so boring. Yeah. I mean, what is her life like, do you think?
Starting point is 01:06:55 I think she probably just hangs out in a huge house all day. Yeah. I bet she has a little sign on her desk that says girl boss. I bet you're totally right about that. I can I... I have one that says grill boss. Oh, okay. And I ordered it for one of the crazy 88.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Because you thought it said girl boss. I was like, give me a girl boss one. It's her birthday. She's killing it. She's absolutely killing it. And then you got it and it's a girl boss. Because they knew it was coming to me at Jason Manzookas. So they said, oh, you must have been mistaken.
Starting point is 01:07:25 So there was one called Girl Boss, but they gave it to you because they thought that you were ordering it for yourself. Bingo. Wow. I gave it to her anyway. this really, I'm not going to, you're the grill boss. I said, okay, but mark my words, you're the girl boss and you're going to get that plaque. Did you order a new girl boss plaque? I'm going to do that on her birthday.
Starting point is 01:07:46 I'm going to do that. I'm going to write myself a reminder on her birthday to do that. Okay, very good. We have to get to our next guest. This is exciting. He's in the medical profession. Please welcome Dr. Fauci. Oh, whoa.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Oh, hi, Dr. Fauci. Thank you so much, Scott. It's good to be here. It's great to see. I had no idea. I didn't realize until you sat down and I read your name on the thing. I mean, obviously people know who you are, Dr. Fauci, the famous Dr. Fauci. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Okay. I'm done being humble. Okay. Everybody knows the Fotch. Everybody. I'm calling myself the Fotch now. By the way, I have these stickers and I have these posters and I have these shirts that say Fotch Posse. Fotch Posse.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Yeah. So I'll be selling them after the show outside your house if that's okay. What about something that rhymes? like, don't botch the fotch or something like that. I don't even know what that means. Is that ethical for you to have merchandise? You know, is it ethical for people to send me death wishes? You know, people are sending me death wishes.
Starting point is 01:08:44 It kind of evens out. It didn't there, you know what I mean? Right, the death threats and death wishes. Some people threaten to kill me. Some people wish that I die. Right. You know, I don't get it. What's worse for you?
Starting point is 01:08:56 Wishing that I die. You would rather they send death threats than just silently wishing things. Because the thing is a death threat, you know who the death is going to come from. It's the person sending the death threat. But a death wish, you don't know when it's going to happen. So they're wishing you die of natural causes. Yes, and I'm sick of it.
Starting point is 01:09:13 That's worse. People are like, I hope you die of an aneurysm. And I'm saying, do you know what aneurysm is? It hurts. See, I have to say, I thought a death wish was something you had for yourself. I think you can, it could be both. You can have it for yourself and you could have it for somebody else. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Right. You can wish some, you can, yeah, exactly. Well, that's with a lobster, I mentioned, who had the death wish. Right. He wanted it on all me because I was Jason Moran. I got a death wish. He didn't, no, he said, no, not for me for you. He didn't want to die, but you killed him.
Starting point is 01:09:44 He wanted me to die. He wished it. And he also talked. Did I say he was a writer? Did somebody mention it? He wrote it. Anyway, that's not getting involved in that. Lopsis make noise.
Starting point is 01:09:55 A lot of people don't understand. Lopsis make noise. Oh, okay, yeah. I usually they're in the sea, and I, you know, You can't hear anything under the sea. Yeah. Thank you, life is much better done.
Starting point is 01:10:06 They're known to hum. Where do you think that song came from originally? Under the Seas? Custaceans hum. Yes. All the time. I had a pet crustacea when I was a kid. It was called Craby the Crab.
Starting point is 01:10:16 And this fucking thing would never stop humming. And awful songs, too. Like what? Like songs you didn't like? Yeah, like. Crash Desda. We've only just begun? No, no.
Starting point is 01:10:28 That's, yes, exactly. The Carpenters. Oh, that's, oh. Oh, anytime he hears humming, he thinks it must be the crash test dummies. We have just met today, but how did you know that about it? How did you know that? You know they had more songs than just that one. And they actually sing the lyrics in other songs.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Oh. Yeah. Proceed. So Dr. Fauci, I mean, it's so great to meet you. I mean, we're coming. A lot of people say, hey, the pandemic's over, but, you know, you've been out there. saying maybe it's not where I mean where where are we right now where I guess look here's a thing nothing's over until it's over right great point exactly you don't you know you can't say you milk
Starting point is 01:11:13 the cow unless the milk is in the the bucket the bucket right okay or on the ground I guess if you don't have a that is a very similar analogy we use in the book go ahead because you don't have a milk a cow and they just like it's on the ground and then they try to scoop it up after the fact or no once that milk is on the ground it belongs to the grass it's just milky grass at that point. Exactly. You don't want to, you don't want, I've licked milk off the ground before. You have? Same.
Starting point is 01:11:37 All you're going to do is get sick. Oh, very nice. And you got sick too? No, no, but same. Okay. I got dysentery for weeks. Is that why you became a doctor is because you got sick once and you're like, I got to figure out how to stop this from happening? Have you read my biography?
Starting point is 01:11:50 That's exactly what happened. One day I got very sick, very sick from drinking milk. Later on, I found out I was something called what? Lactose intolerant. When you take lactose. you immediately defecated out. Right. You have to drive really fast.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because usually, guess what, you have to take a poop when you're suddenly driving or when you're busy, you know, hanging something, like hanging a painting somewhere. Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:16 How many paintings do you have in your house? 730, I think, yeah. So you're an art collector? Big time. You're famous now, so. Really? Look, let me tell you something. I'm from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Like, Bosciats. Bosciots. I got 700 Bosciats. Really? How many banksies? Banksies, let me see. I got 20 banksy's. Did you buy that Banksy the one that just shredded itself?
Starting point is 01:12:38 Yes, I did. And let me tell you, I was furious. I brought it home and it was completely shredded. When I bought it, it wasn't. Brought it home, it was shredded. Did they let you keep the shredder that was attached to it? Because that's got to be a piece of equipment that we could actually use. That one that took back.
Starting point is 01:12:53 They took the shredder back. They took the shredder back and I had nothing except a pile of painting. That is weird. Yeah. Wow. So you're an art guy. I'm an art guy, but let me tell you, more than anything, I'm a Brooklyn guy. Straight out of Brooklyn. Shout out to Biggie Smalls. Oh, great. Oh, so you're a fan of Brooklyn artists?
Starting point is 01:13:12 Like Biggie Smalls? I'm from the Brooklyn streets, okay? A lot of people don't know this about me. I didn't know that, yeah. Yeah, I'm from the Brooklyn streets. You look at me, you're like, oh, okay, Dr. Fauci. You're an older, yeah, older gentlemen, but you're famous now. Older gentlemen, famous now. When I walk around, when I walk down the Brooklyn streets, people are like, Fauci, Fauci, Faochi, and then I put my hands up, everyone starts cheering. It's real nice. You know it's funny? Dice has said this exact same thing to me.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Dice? I'm from the streets of Brooklyn. Yeah, Andrew Dice Clay. I know. Yeah, yeah, he's not from the streets. He's not from the streets. I'm from the streets. Really?
Starting point is 01:13:47 Which street? Montrose. I just walk the streets waiting for people to shout at me. What kind of things do they shout at you? Stupid little tiny bitch. Get your ass up here. Let me tell you, in the beginning of the pandemic, constantly people were, because I'm 5'7, I'm a little guy, I'm a short king. Yeah, you're a short king.
Starting point is 01:14:06 People like, hey, you little fuck, why don't you fucking, why don't you come here? People were blaming you, blaming the pandemic on you or blaming? They were blaming a lot of different things on me. They were blaming the pandemic on me, blaming their divorces on me, blaming various types of, you know, I hate to say, miscarriages on me. Yeah, I saw it all on Facebook. It was all over the message. They're all different kinds, yeah. So people were blaming everything on you, but now they cheer when they see you.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Now they cheer when they see me. Everyone's like, everyone wants a piece of the big futch, big fudge. And if you don't mind, maybe you guys don't mind, call me big fudge, because like that's what people have been calling me. Yeah, sure, I'll call you big fudge. All day, all night. Is that how your name is pronounced fudge? Huh? No, that's how I say it.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Oh, okay. You know why? Because I don't give a fudge. Oh, I get it now. That's what's up. But let me. tell you something. Yeah, please.
Starting point is 01:15:01 I mean, you're here to talk about it. And so am I. Well established. Is anybody have any questions about the pandemic I can answer for you? You know what other questions I can answer for you? A little word called, I don't know, AIDS? Have you heard about this? Most of, you know, the reason that we have-
Starting point is 01:15:17 Magic Johnson, etc. Are you asking, like, if I heard about that is the smallest word, the littlest word I've heard? What's, yeah, is that the littlest word you ever heard? No. I think, uh, or uh, is the littlest, well, ah, because. it's a little thinner. You know why people don't talk about AIDS as much anymore? Because of me, the Big Fotch.
Starting point is 01:15:35 Most of these studies that were done on AIDS, who did it? You were the guy who, yeah, you were in charge of all this. You're the guy, I mean, who basically got it under control a little bit. Is that what? I got under control a little bit. I single-handedly was the one Big Fachi that got AIDS under control. I went to every single community and told them what to do. to not get it and what to do when you do get it.
Starting point is 01:16:02 I got to say you could reach a bigger audience by going on YouTube to get to those communities. You can't go to every single community. Every single community. Well, this was way before YouTube's. This was way before the Internet's. Email? Were you the guy?
Starting point is 01:16:12 No, I could have done that, but where would I get everyone's email from? Were you the guy who also went to George Michael and said, please put a lyric, sex is best when it's one-on-one. Absolutely. And do I want your sex? And that got the message out
Starting point is 01:16:26 and helped control AIDS a little bit. Is that true? I fully disagree. Sex is way better with a lot of people. No, but originally it was like sex, you know. He was like sex is best without a condom. With multiple people at the same time. Some of them who take intravenous drugs.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Right. I said, look, George, I know you know what you're doing, but I know what I'm doing. You've got to stop with this, okay? Plus sex is best when it's one-on-one rhymed with the previous lyric. Exactly. So it's like, yeah, exactly. And then didn't the lyric from four, Faith come out. You gotta listen to me on this. You gotta have faith. And he said, oh, I gotta, that gives me an idea for a song. Did I hear that right? Yes. Also, the song Monkey on my back. Right. He got that for me too. Really? I, so I had a monkey on my back. A literal monkey? Yes. That refused to leave. Don't ever, ever, monkey watch. Don't ever watch somebody's monkey. Oh, you were watching your friend's monkey? Yes. My God. My friend's name, what was it? Michael Jackson. My God. You were friends with Michael Jackson? Yes. Who do you think I even Probefo?
Starting point is 01:17:29 That was a different guy Who did you think gave that guy Oh you're the guy behind the guy You got it That you gotta get You want proble for you come to the big fudge Let me tell you that Okay do you regret like telling every
Starting point is 01:17:41 Like didn't you kind of know That masks would help Even though you said at the beginning That they wouldn't help Remember you made people not wear masks? I was doing a bit I was just doing it was a joke at first That went really far
Starting point is 01:17:53 Oh you were joking I made a joke It was like why would I wear a mask You're being sarcastic Then you can't tell if I'm smiling I've literally never wearing a mask. You don't believe in them?
Starting point is 01:18:02 Yeah, no, I just think the masks are the problem. And like, we should all just... The masks are the problem? No, the virus is the problem. No, it's the mask. I will agree. Masks are the problem, but only in the scream series. I will say that.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Ghost face. In other words. Yeah, whoever's wearing that is usually the bad guy in the scream series. In the Jim Carrey movie, the mask. He was actually the hero, though. But the mask was bad. The mask was bad. Was that the...
Starting point is 01:18:28 The mask was evil. The mask was evil, but it made him so funny. He said smoking and all that. Oh, he was already funny. Oh, so he didn't need the mask to be funny? I think that's a lesson we all learned is that Jim Carrey does not need a mask to make him funny. You should rewatch it, Scott. Clearly, you didn't get through to you.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Do you have any hobbies, Fauci? Like, what do you do for fun? Let me see. And that's how you host to show. You are a good host. Well, clearly is like, you know, he wants to, you know, step away from your persona. Yes, thank you. Fabulous.
Starting point is 01:18:54 So I started surfing. Anybody heard of this fucking thing? Yeah. No, we've all heard of surfing. The Beach Boys sang about it in every fucking song. The Beach Boys? Yeah, the Beach, Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys? The dude that had like schizophrenia?
Starting point is 01:19:09 I mean, Schizophrenic. One of them was hit in the ear by his dad. No, that doesn't call schizophrenia. Believe me. I was hitting it. I went to an all Catholic nun boy school. It's when it was all, you were all boys and you were all boys who were taught to be nuns?
Starting point is 01:19:24 Yes. Yes. Because there wasn't any, because the Catholic Church was pissed off that there wasn't enough boy nuns. Okay. So I joined that. It was easier than joining the priest one. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Yeah. Easier to get in. Yeah. And you all had to dread to where you dressed in habits all day? We were dressed. Well, let's just say we made it a habit to always be dressed that way. But I mean, there's a protocol. So you could have just said yes, but instead you've made a joke.
Starting point is 01:19:49 Was it funny or was it not? I don't know. You're laughing. You're laughing. And if Scott's laughing, then it's funny. All puns are funny. Period. End of story.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Period. You know what sharks do in the Atlantic? Uh, yep. They'll come, rub up against you. Are you talking about shark? Sharks. Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about shark. Finally, someone was bringing up.
Starting point is 01:20:08 I don't know what's more dangerous, though. A shark or a shark in the water. I mean, I would say a shark, because if you shart in the water, nobody knows. Right? But if a shark's in the water, everybody knows. Is that what you're trying to say? Exactly. So what's worse?
Starting point is 01:20:21 A shark in the water. If you're going to shark, you might as well do it in the water, right? Do you think that a shark would attract a shark? A shark would attract a shark if you have bleeding. Yeah, because, well, bleeding, like, you guys knew that documentary grizzly bear. A grizzly man? Yeah, grizzly man. Based on Judd, based on Judd.
Starting point is 01:20:42 Oh, that was, okay. But, you know, of course, the rumor started that a woman's period attracted the bear that killed everybody. And most people would say that that's sexist, but I think that that's the truth. I think that's probably sexist. Society loves to blame women. Another thing. other things we're wrapping up
Starting point is 01:21:00 are you kidding me I just got on I was gonna start talking about you just got on how long have I been here for 10 minutes 5 minutes seems very short to me Time flies when you're having a good time
Starting point is 01:21:11 Time flies when you're having a good time What's your last thing My last thing is this Listen everybody Go out there Have a good time Have a good time Care about yourself
Starting point is 01:21:22 That seems contrary to what the advice You should be doing No no but let me Care about yourself But do me a favor and do yourself and care about someone else too. Very good. Dr. Fauci.
Starting point is 01:21:31 All right, very good. That's the Fauci I know. And stay away from surfing. Why? Because you want to be the only one out there? Oh, because it's dangerous. I have the biggest welt on my ass. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Just sitting here is a pretty soft thing. I mean, water is pretty soft. I'm sorry. Wet sand is soft? Wait, you're surfing on the sand? Closer to the ocean. You got to get out there. Sand surfing.
Starting point is 01:21:57 day. Yeah. All right. Well, we're running out of time. We just have one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. Well, Scott talks a lot to interesting people.
Starting point is 01:22:11 Ox a hot shot. There's no just an equal. But this is the place where we change up the pace and... Bluff my God. That was Patrick Mark. Have a Can featuring MC Hovercraft with buttcloth? Jesus Christ. I like it.
Starting point is 01:22:41 That's what I love about Tommy Bing Bing fans is that when they follow you, it's like blood clots, 6,000 followed you. Oh, my God. Thank you so much to them. Guys, what do we plug in? Natasha, obviously we have rat in the kitchen. Starting March 31st and check out my podcast,

Starting point is 01:23:14 Oh, my God, which one? It's called This Book Changed My Life. It's on CBB World. What is that? I don't know. You seem confused by it. It's some kind of platform you have to pay for. And then I want to plug a little show called Killing It on Peacock.
Starting point is 01:23:30 that I heard about from Sharts Trach. He's been playing nonstop. And also, of course, Jason Manzuka's Twitter. Oh, yeah, which is... At L-I-Y-Y-Y-I-A-I-L-A-I-A-W. He has Instagram. I don't do it. Oh, he's on Instagram?

He pretends to be this woman named Lily Sullivan and... I mean, it's pretty cool he's not online, but he's just, like, haunting us or... No, yeah, he's just secretly stalking everyone. Yeah, but he does a really good job of pretending to be this very hot woman.
Starting point is 01:24:07 Yeah, very interesting person that he just, he's built up this whole fake life. And by the way, Jason Manzoukis isn't even real. He's Jeffrey character Wheaties. I mean, that's like levels. Yeah, right. Very layered. Speaking of Jason Manzookas, adjacent Manzuchas, what do you want to plug? You rang.
Starting point is 01:24:25 I want to plug, of course, the TV show and the book coming out, whatever. all that was that you know, talked about it. You can't even remember. You can't even remember because I don't care about it. What I do care about is the sloppy boys podcast that you know we talk about, or they talk about cocktails.

Starting point is 01:26:02 videos about like how it is being Iranian-American. It's really funny. They make me laugh. I've seen him. My man. I knew I liked you the second I laid eyes on you. You guys are like good friends. Yeah, he's like cutie pie with a booty pie. You just looked in my direction. Yeah, but you've had your back to him this entire time. You just turned around now.

As we're sitting out here in your backyard, lovely as it is, I saw some, the hummingbirds flying around. And I got to thinking I was watching them, and I'm thinking to myself,
Starting point is 01:29:12 are all hummingbirds crash-de-dust dummies fans? Uh, mm-hmm. They're humming. They constantly humming. That's something I was thinking about. That was your final thought? It was a thought I had and I thought to myself, I'm not going to use this anywhere else.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Not even on your own show? I'd have to be outside with the hummingbird. Wait, you're grilling inside on your show? No, no, I don't have hummingbirds outside. Oh, okay. I have a net around up. That's crazy that your writing team didn't write you that line. It was so good.
