Before we get to our main guest, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz The end of the world did not occur. And she's a standup comedian from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, who, the last time we saw her, she was trying to get a ride home from Demetri, who grew up in New Jersey,
Starting point is 00:04:13 and we don't know whether that happened or not, but I do want to welcome her. Nancy Cooper is with us. Hello, Nancy. Hi. So great to have you back on the show. Yeah, thank you. What brings you to Los Angeles here? So great to have you back on the show. Yeah, thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:25 What brings you to Los Angeles here? Well, I wanted to come back, so I took the bus again. Okay, so you did go back to Lawrenceville. Did you get a ride? No, I had to take the bus. Took the bus all the way back to Lawrenceville? How long of a trip is that? It's five days to go back. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And then it's five days to go back. Wow. And then it's five days to come back. Yeah, so it's the exact same amount of time going there as it is to come back. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Great. So that sounds like a 10-day round trip. Yeah, mm-hmm. And, but when I was back, I did more stand-up.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Oh, good, and now, for those of you who didn't hear last year's episode, you have been doing stand-up how many performances? Well, the last time I was here I did it six times, and then since then I've done it three more times. Total of nine times. Yeah, so now I've done it nine times, and the next time I do it will be 10,
Starting point is 00:05:19 and the next time I do it will be 11, and the next time I do it will be 12. And you do it exclusively where again? It's a Charlie Brown steakhouse. You know it, right? I mean I've heard of Charlie Brown. Charles Schultz created him back in the 50s. Well it's a steakhouse.
Starting point is 00:05:39 And there's a room on the side and Mr. Henry says I can do a standout there. Now here's what I wanted to ask about that room on the side and Mr. Henry says I can do a stand up down. Now here's what I wanted to ask about that room on the side. Are there people in that room on the side like eating or do they have to congregate in order to see the show? I think that they're waiting for a table. Okay, so it's more of a lounge area. Is there a bar? Um, no.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Oh wow, I would hate to hang out in a tiny room with no bar waiting for a table. Yeah, and then I do my, I tell jokes. Uh-huh, is it by the main entrance? Do people walk in? It's by the bathroom. Okay, I mean that's not mutually exclusive. It can be by both the main entrance and the bathroom. Yeah, uh-huh, it's by the, but when you walk in,
Starting point is 00:06:22 then you have to walk to the left, and then there's the bathroom, and then there's the room. Okay, so anyone going out there in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, who wants to see Nancy stand up, you walk in, you walk to the left, and then you walk to the left again, and there's that room, and there's a good chance you'll be doing it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 How often do you do that? I mean, you've done it three times in the last month, it sounds like, so once every nine days? Yeah, uh-huh, once every, yeah. Is there a particular night that you do it on? Mm-mm, no, and sometimes I do it at four, and sometimes I do it at seven. Comedy is more of a night thing,
Starting point is 00:06:57 if Arsenio taught us anything. I got a new cat, too. Oh, unrelated, or is that related to your comedy career? No. Tell us about your cat. I just got a new one so now I have 18. Oh gosh, yeah. We heard a lot about your grandmother
Starting point is 00:07:14 who has trouble getting out of the bath. She's still in the tub. She's in the tub, yeah. And then if you wanna give me a ride home then you can help me get her. Get her out of the tub, yeah. You had a lot of trouble getting her out of the tub, as I recall.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You need a lot of help in that regard. And a lot of washing machines on your front porch? Uh-huh, there's seven. Hey, did you ever notice how there's seven washing machines on my front porch? You know what I mean, you know what I'm talking about, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was one of your signature jokes
Starting point is 00:07:41 that we talked about last time, yeah. And then you know what else I learned? I learned something else. What's that? After you tell a joke, first you have to say... Have you ever noticed? Have you ever noticed or don't you hate it when? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 And then after you say your joke, then you say, you know what I mean, you know what I'm talking about. But then before you can say another joke, you have to say what else, what else, what else, what else? What else, what else, what else, what else? What else, what else, what else, what else. What else, what else, what else, what else. What else, what else, what else, what else. Okay, have you ever, now we talked about putting them all together last time.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Don't you hate it when, no, have you ever noticed you hate it when, fill in the blank, you guys know what I mean, what else, what else, what else, what else? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So boy, the evolution of the craft. Yeah, like, did you ever notice, don't you hate it when you have to sleep on the couch
Starting point is 00:08:29 because your room is filled with National Geographic magazines? You know what I mean, you know what I'm talking about. You know what I mean, what else, what else? What else, what else? Great, that's really good. That's some A material there. Because it's true.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, well comedy comes from truth. Uh huh. Yeah, exactly. Because there's National Geographic stocked up in what was my bedroom. Yeah, but you know that's relatable because we all know if, even if we don't have, you know, National Geographic's in our own room, we have them in some room. Uh huh. You know, so it's relatable to everyone.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Uh huh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's some AARP magazines too. All right, and those must be your grandmother's, I'm guessing. Yeah. All right, well, I mean, if you haven't heard of Nancy before, I think that gives you a pretty good sort of frame of reference of what her life is like.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And we'll talk a little bit, we didn't talk last time about the wheelchair that you're in. We'll talk about that a little bit after we talk to our next guest here a little bit. But our next guest is a stand-up comedian and a very acclaimed one at that. And so, Nancy, I bet you have a lot of questions for her. And we'll get to those after we introduce her.
Starting point is 00:09:42 You heard her voice before talking about how poor I am. I did not talk about that. I asked a question. Is it cause you need the money? Or do you just love podcasting? No, you said you need the money. Oh, whoops. Well, how much money do you make on these podcasts?
Starting point is 00:09:57 On these podcasts? Yeah. It's any way, I mean, you know, a lot of times people don't wanna talk about how much money they make. Mm-hmm. But I'll tell you exactly. It's a new year. I'll tell you know, a lot of times people don't want to talk about how much money they make. But I'll tell you exactly. It's a new year.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I'll tell you exactly. I make about $423,000 a year on the podcast. About $423,000, $424,000. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. It's not a bad living. I need to start a podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:17 It's not Hollywood good, but you know, I mean, there's probably, I don't know what people make outside of Hollywood. I would imagine, what, do people make $300,000 a year or something like that outside of Hollywood? I don't know. Oh my God. The standard of living out here is a little different, but I mean, how much money do you make on Bob's Burgers? We'll say your name in a second. Like $2,000.
Starting point is 00:10:36 $2,000. An episode or a minute? Just... A laugh? No, it's like a month. A month? Yeah. Oh, you have to get into podcast month. A month? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:45 You have to get into podcasting. I gotta get in. What am I doing? What are you doing? I'm giving it away for free. I know. But hey, let's talk about some of your credits. Bob's Burgers, we talked about that.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah. What character do you play? Louise. Louise! Sulture. Wife to the titular Bob. No, she's the daughter. The youngest daughter. Oh, you're the daughter.

Starting point is 00:11:38 I had to go do another show. Yeah, but you were nice enough to come and do about ten minutes on the show. Well, yeah, I mean, getting invited to do a Scott Ackerman podcast is a huge honor. Sure. You have to earn it. I spread the wealth around. That's the other thing. Really? I make that 423, 424, but I share it with all of you, so all my guests.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Oh my gosh. Yeah, so you're gonna walk out with a little walking around money. Oh my God! Yeah. Ah! Yeah. thank you so much. No, it's my pleasure, of course. Oh my God, I'm so hungry.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You're hungry. Sure. What's going on? I just, I haven't had the change to make it over to the Red Lobster in a long time. What about a Charlie Brown steakhouse? See, I'm bringing you back around here to Nancy. You should.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Are you gonna give me money too? Well, you're just the co-host, you're not a guest. Oh, okay. So, yeah, unfortunately. Do you know what pennies are? Yeah. Um, cause I collect them. Yeah. Oh!
Starting point is 00:12:38 There's like a- You have a coin collection, do you mean? Well, I collect pennies and then I put them in wrappers and then I take them to the bank. And then they, um, give me money for them and you have to put 50 pennies in each wrapper Right and what do they give back to you for that? Um, if you give them two wrappers full of pennies That's 50 cents each to give you a dollar back a paper dollar a paper dollar bill You know what you should really look for there is a penny the 1943 penny Um, if you find it, it's worth look for, there is a penny, the 1943 penny.
Starting point is 00:13:05 If you find it, it's worth $10,000 right now. I think there's a 1927S or something like that that's the most rare penny in the world, yeah. Yeah, there's a couple out there. I've probably had a bunch of them. You probably gave them away. You really need to look at those dates. Yeah. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:25 That might take a little more time. I'd say maybe four times as long to check the date. Just check the dates. Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah. Sounds like you have a lot of time on your hands. Mm-hmm. I am worried about your grandma. Is anyone else worried about, I mean, she's cool?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah, we heard a lot about her. She's fine. She's still in that tub? Mm-hmm. Everything good? She just likes to soak. Mm-hmm, yeah. And she's like, hey, don't you hate it when. She's fine. She's still in that tub. Everything good? She just likes to soak. Yeah, and she's like, hey don't you hate it when your grandma's like, hey Nancy, stop rummaging through the closets. You know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:13:53 What else, what else, what else? You know, you're good at it, you're good at it. I'm learning from you, actually. How long is your set? Do you have a tight five? Could be like five minutes or it could be like 10 minutes or sometimes it's 20 minutes. 20 minutes. Do you just get off on a roll? Do you like do crowd work? I just, you know, cause it's all stuff, you know, from real life, you know. So your crowd work is from real life. And then I say,
Starting point is 00:14:26 hey, did you ever notice that there was a man sitting next to a woman in a chair? So your crowd work is a little more like observational comedy about the people in front of you. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do they take that? How do they?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah, then I say, yeah, and then I go, you know what I mean, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah. People enjoy your act? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I'm good at it. I'm good at it. I bet you are. Why didn't you give me that look?
Starting point is 00:14:54 I'm good at it. Yeah, I bet you are good at it. Speaking of good at it, you're good at it, Kristen, because you have a special coming up, a Comedy Central one-hour special. No. It's coming out this next week, right? No, no.
Starting point is 00:15:09 No, I read about it. I read online. Well, they made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. They made a mistake, so it's not coming out. It's not coming out now? Cause I read a big press release where Comedy Central talked about everything
Starting point is 00:15:23 that was coming out. And you have the Nick Kroll show, which out next week and we'll talk about that next week. But your show is not coming out? There's a big special on next week. Yeah, I asked them to not release it because it didn't go the way I planned. So it's definitely not coming out January 18th if it comes out at all. I'll be surprised. I'm sorry. That's okay. I don January 18th if it comes out at all, I'll be surprised.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I'm sorry. That's okay. I don't mean to bring it up. I was just reading the latest press release. They didn't put out a press release correcting that press release. Well, I guarantee you it's not coming out January 18th. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:57 And those are people that came to San Francisco and saw the show, they will know why. When did you tape it? A while ago, so anyways. What else shall we talk about? Oh, sorry. Okay. Well, but you are a standup comedian,
Starting point is 00:16:12 and you probably have some advice for Nancy here. I would say just keep going, never stop, just get in that spotlight. Another good thing to do is, do you have a microphone at all? Mm-hmm, it's good to like yeah, do they give you a microphone like different? Distances like you can hold the mic really close you have a mic in front of you. You don't have to mime it Talking into a microphone and then miming a microphone going back and forth you can just use the one right
Starting point is 00:16:43 Okay, so you know so Nancy So, Nancy, you're just like, da da da da, then you can just take it out here. This is an Arj Barker move that you can just practice with. You're talking like this, and then Arj Barker sometimes will drop the mic to his side and he'll yell out the rest. And it's really effective. And also you can do the Hannibal Bures move, which is kind of like, he's talking to do it,
Starting point is 00:17:05 drop it up here. Yeah, she just put the mic, sort of like Liam Gallagher in Oasis. Yes. Yeah, a lot of comedians don't do that. The other thing comedians do is they get really close. They get really close. They put their hand over the top.
Starting point is 00:17:19 That's sort of their emphasis. Mm, mm, mm. Yeah. That's pretty good, Nancy. It's pretty good. Mm, mm, I think I did it good. You know, if you wanna come to Charlie Brown's, I can talk to Mr. Henry for you,
Starting point is 00:17:31 and you can come up, you can come up and perform there if you want, I can talk to him. Oh, that sounds like a delight. Not bad. You used to live in New York, so not too far. No, well, I've never heard of this Charlie Brown's. Steakhouse. It's on Route 9 in Lawrenceville. so not too far. No, well I've never heard of this Charlie Brown's steakhouse.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It's on Route 9 in Lawrenceville. Okay, all right. That tells you everything you need to know. When are you getting back there? Aren't you here now though? Yeah, I'm here now, so then it's gonna take me five days to get back on the bus. You know, someone on the bus said that I looked 53.
Starting point is 00:18:00 You smiled. I'm only 22. Yeah, you smiled when you said that, like it was a good thing. Uh-huh, because, um, the older you look, the cheaper the bus is. We talked about that last time. I don't think the bus lowers its rate for 53 year olds. I think it's like 65 and above, but you're hoping to get there soon.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Mm-hmm, because last time someone said they thought I was 49. How old do you think I am? 22. Mm-mm. Yeah, you just said it. Like you said. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. But I look 53.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Mm-mm. Yeah. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Now you could do that, you could do that and do a joke right there. Did you ever notice that I look 53? You know what I mean, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:47 you know what I'm talking about. What else, what else, what else, what else? Not bad, any critique? I just think she needs to put like a, I don't know, you just need to surprise them a little bit. It's like, did you ever notice, fact, and then you need to put a twist on the end. Just catch them off guard.
Starting point is 00:19:07 What would you do with that kind of joke structure? So someone says to you, hey, you look 53, Kristin, and you sit there and you mull it over and you. Well, my taste, I would probably, did you ever notice that I look 53? Well, my pussy will tell you different, and then I would whip out the labias and be like, look at the rings around my labias.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And we would count them. And then I'd be like, know what I mean? What else? What else? Yeah, especially in Lawrenceville, because they're looking for that kind of performance. I'm sure Karen Finley came there a couple times, covered herself in honey and screamed.
Starting point is 00:19:42 So they would be aching for it. I don't know that I'd be expecting that if I'm sitting in the tiny room. Exactly! Oh, okay, there's your point. There's your point. That's comedy. What would Mr. Henry think about that, do you think?
Starting point is 00:19:55 He would probably be like, Nancy, you can go ahead up on, go on stage again if you want. That's his normal critique of your act? Mm-hmm. Is that the extent of what Mr. Henry has said to you? How did you get to know Mr. Henry? Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:20:13 No, how did you get to know Mr. Henry is my question. Oh, well, they were getting rid of all their old knives and forks and spoons. Okay. At the Charlie Brown Steakhouse, because I guess they're getting new ones. Right. And so my grandma said,
Starting point is 00:20:29 She heard about this in the newspaper, or on the news or something like this? Mm-hmm. She was out of the tub at this moment. No, she was still in the tub. Okay. So she was like, Nancy, go down and get them.
Starting point is 00:20:41 And so then I went down and I said, hi, can I have, did you ever notice that I went to Charlie Brown's steakhouse? You said this to Mr. Henry. Mm-hmm. Okay. And what did he say back to you? And he said, are you here to get the knives and forks and spoons? And I said, mm-hmm. And then he said, you know, if you ever want a job, you know, and I said, okay,
Starting point is 00:21:08 I could be a stand-up comedian, and then that's how it happened. Was that the job he was talking about, or did he have something else in mind? I don't know, because they have dishwashers and they have a busser. Does he pay you to do this? Mm-mm. Okay. I want to know how much silverware you have now. We have five drawers full of utensils in our kitchen.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Yeah, that's a lot of... Do you have a lot of company? It sounds like you can't even get anyone to get Grandma the tub. Why do you need so much silverware? No, no, no. It's to have it. We have 10 jars full of buttons. If I were in your house, and I, God, I hope I am someday, I would probably take all the buttons
Starting point is 00:21:48 and I would glue them to all the knives and then I would spell out letters or something and make banners around the house or you could make like stars, snowflake stars with the buttons and the knives, you know, and hang them up around real kitschy. You should come over to my house, you should come. How do you think your grandmother would feel
Starting point is 00:22:04 about that kind of behavior in her house with all her buttons and all of her silverware? No, you can't touch. But you know, she's in the tub. She can't stop her. The one thing that you can do is you can go in the basement. Like the shirt's from the basement. Oh, that's, I mean, yeah, that's, I don't quite know what to say about that shirt. It's from the basement. Oh, that's, I mean, yeah, that's,
Starting point is 00:22:27 I don't quite know what to say about that shirt. Mm-hmm, it's from the basement. Yeah, it looks like a basement shirt. If I had to describe a basement shirt, I would say that's- Yeah, absolutely. Where was it in the basement? Well, there was an old trunk, and then I moved that trunk. Did you ever notice there was an old trunk?
Starting point is 00:22:44 And then you have to move that trunk and then under the trunk is a bucket. It's weighted. Wait, under the trunk is a bucket? Is a bucket. Was it, was it balancing? The trunk was balancing on the bucket? Mm-hmm. The trunk was balancing on the bucket. And the shirt was inside that bucket?
Starting point is 00:22:59 Mm-hmm. The shirt was inside the bucket with a sponge. What were you doing moving the trunk in the first place, Nancy? Oh, I opened the trunk, and then it fell. Oh, it fell off the bucket. So the shirt you're wearing was actually more used as a rag to clean cars, I'm assuming? Or clean the basement walls? Mm, you can go in the basement, and she doesn't say anything about the basement stuff.

So you think it's fun, so you're out there scooting around in it. And people, you know, people think that I'm 53 because of it, I think. Oh, that's why. And you take it on the bus with you.

I would love to be your master. OK, I don't know about that. What? But I mean, you know, maybe she could be your apprentice or.

To the master. Okay, but I mean, you're kind of implying that she's gonna be your slave. Well, I think that's where it has to start. I don't know, Krista. What? That's not really the tradition of being a queen. She's got a long way to go. She's faking it in a wheelchair.

Nancy, I would just like to officially invite you to come live with me in my place. Live with me, we'll wake up every morning together, we'll do some exercises.

Starting point is 00:27:48 you have to rip the top off? Yeah. And you know what I mean, and you know what I'm talking about, and you know what I mean. They're right there, there's something. What else, what else, what else? Yes!
Starting point is 00:27:57 You guys! I just said it'd be amazing. This is what a partnership. This could be a duo act. This is like when Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis got together, you know what I mean? Like just two shining stars on their own, but then when they got together, it was magic.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Or like heart to heart. Exactly, like heart to heart. Like that, what that guy said about them. Like Lawrence and Olivier. I mean, it's just like. Yeah, exactly. Well, when, yeah, when Mr. and Mrs. Olivier decide to call their baby Lawrence, boom!
Starting point is 00:28:25 There was a partnership right there. First name, last name. Guys, we got it. But I'm gonna have to take the bus back to Lawrenceville. Why go back? Because I have to perform at the Charlie Brown steakhouse. No, no, no, those days are done. Those days are done.

Starting point is 00:28:54 I mean, it's gonna be like 24 hours, seven, working on this. Yeah. Okay. Well, tell you what, we need to take a break here, and when we come back, we'll have more Kristen Schaal, more Nancy Cooper, and we have another special guest coming up, so we'll be right back with a little Comedy Bang Bang after this. Is this live? Comedy Bang Bang, we're back here with Kristen Schaal is here.

Yeah, I decide when we come back, when we're done. I mean, it's pretty much after the commercial. Okay. Yeah, so welcome back. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Thanks for being on the show. Oh my God, thanks for having me. It's a new year, a lot of exciting things happening. Tell us a little bit about Bob's Burgers. Bob's Burgers is a show on Fox. It's an animated show. Cool, thanks. Anyway, so we also have Nancy Cooper here
Starting point is 00:29:47 and she's a stand-up comedian. And we have a new guest here, first time on the show. And I don't really know that much information about you. You're a teenager. Yeah. And Rick Faber is here. Hello, Rick. Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:30:04 Hey, how are you? Thanks for coming to the show. Coming on the show, coming to is here. Hello, Rick. Hey, what's up? Hey. How are you? Thanks for coming to the show. Coming on the show, coming to the show? Yeah, whatever. I'm actually, I'm terrible, because life sucks. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, it doesn't suck for me.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Just suck, meaning that there's so many- I mean, it sucks for adults who have to deal with our teenage, me and my teenage buddies, who have to deal with our teenage, me and my teenage buddies, who have to deal with our irresponsible behavior. Wait, it sucks for adults who have to deal with you and your buddies irresponsible behavior? Yeah, I feel so bad for all these adults who have to deal with us teenagers. Oh, okay. Hmm. Like the other day, we were at City Walk watching Django Unchained and there were these adults and they clearly
Starting point is 00:30:47 just wanted to enjoy the movie and me and my friends, we were sitting there talking and texting and laughing and we just ruined their whole experience and I feel awful about that. Oh. So sorry. So sorry to hear that. Um, that's, that's terrible. Well, welcome to hear that. That's terrible. Well, welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:31:08 It's great to have you. You seem sullen, you seem a little upset, but it's all because you feel bad for parents, I guess. Kristen, what do you think about this? Teenage boy on the show. Oh, I'm terrified. Yeah, he's- I'm scared of teenagers.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I don't blame you. You're you. We've earned this reputation. Yeah, describe your clothes because they're outlandish to me, an adult. Well, I've got baggy purple shorts on, and skate shoes. Boy, those are unlike shoes that I wear in my normal life. They seem to be apropos for skating or something. And a Metallica t-shirt that has a knife coming out of a toilet. Ugh, god, two things that I cannot stand.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Violence and potty humor. Yeah. Yeah. Did you get them from the basement? No. My mom bought them for me and I wasn't even grateful. Oh man. I'm the worst. Mom bought them for me and I wasn't even grateful. Man. I'm the worst.
Starting point is 00:32:07 All of us teenagers are and we feel terrible about it. Why do you keep doing it? Cause we aren't, our brains aren't developed enough yet. I see, it's youth, it's just a part of youth. We saw this guy the other day, me and my buddies, this guy who's probably about early 30s, blonde hair, looked like a totally normal cool guy. Very cool, I'd probably even say.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And he was, he saw his friends across the street, so he started skipping across the crosswalk. He wasn't doing it genuinely, he was doing it to get a laugh. He was doing it to make his friends laugh. But we still poked our heads out of the car and yelled at him and made fun of him and called him a little prissy. What were we even thinking? He was clearly a cool guy trying to just make his friends laugh.
Starting point is 00:33:00 It's like we don't even get irony. Boy, yeah. That's rough. It's a rough life to be that self-aware. It's like we don't even get irony. Oh boy, yeah. That's rough. It's a rough life. To be that self-aware. It's the worst. We teenagers are aware that we are the worst. And we feel awful about it. Do you really? I've never, to be quite frank, I've never met a teenager who's felt awful about the way they... No, we realized recently we should feel awful, so now we all do.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Oh wow. That you're not gonna change. Probably not. Would that I could. But I can't. Why not? Why can't you change? Anyone can change.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Because we, it's a herd mentality. Me and my friends get together and we just, we can't, it's like we can't even think for ourselves. It's like we don't have a brain of our own. We just kinda do what we think makes us look cool, even though we know it's lame to do. Yeah, do you look cool, do you think? No, obviously not.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah, I mean, look at your outfit. I mean, how are you supposed to really, you know, be a productive member of society wearing that? I know. Do you think I could go into a job interview looking like this? No way. And yet you do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Have you ever gone into a job interview looking like that? Yeah. And I got the job, but it was at a skate shop. Oh, OK. How long have you worked there? I've worked there about eight months. Yeah. You like the job? Yeah it's pretty good. Yeah? Are you a good employee? Well yeah kids come in they want to learn how to ollie. I teach them or I give them the you know I saw them a book how to ollie.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Mm-hmm. There's a whole book on just how to ollie? Just how to ollie yeah it's a series. Oh it's a series? It's like the Harry Potter series to Ollie, yeah. It's a series. Oh, it's a series? Is this like the Harry Potter series? I mean, in that it's a series of books, yes. What's so complicated about ollieing? Oh, weight balance, balancing your weight. And then- Do you skate yourself? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Okay. Kickflips, ollies. What's the difference between a kickflip and an ollie? Kickflip, you flip the board around as you're going up. Ollie just, you're hopping up, you're hopping a curb. Oh, you're just, an ollie is a curb hop? Basically, I mean, you don't have to do it over a curb. You could do it over a,
Starting point is 00:35:16 a ditch? An obstacle in your way as you're going down the sidewalk. A frog? Maybe a little frog? If there was a frog in the sidewalk, yeah. You probably wouldn't want to hit the frog. You know what? I probably wouldn't care probably wouldn't want to hit the frog. You know what? I probably wouldn't care. And I probably would hit the frog.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Because I don't even have any respect for anything but myself. Not even nature? No. Or nurture. Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend? No. And if I knew someone who was gay,
Starting point is 00:35:43 I'd probably make fun of him for that. That's how short-minded I am. Oh my goodness. That's a term. That's a term, yeah. I've heard of narrow-minded, but short-minded. I don't, yeah. Maybe if I paid more attention in school, the school that my parents pay so much for me to go to. Oh, you got a private school? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Ugh. Wow, and you don't even pay attention. They're spending all that money. No, yeah. They send me to Besant Hill School in Ojai and they're paying a ton of money and I don't even pay attention. Wow, I know someone whose uncle works there or worked there. Yeah, worked there. So, wow. You want to know something else terrible I did?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Sure, why it hit us. Okay, we were at Moonlight roller rink the other day. Okay in Glendale in Glendale Okay, and we had on and we were roller skating around and we saw this guy there Also blonde hair early 30s same guy or no I mean, I never thought about it it possibly could have been why he may be wondering around wondering why he's being tormented I don't know this specific group of teenagers. It's amazing that you can peg him for early 30s, because when I was a teenager, everyone was just old. No, he definitely looks like he's 32 verging
Starting point is 00:36:54 on 33. 32 or 33, and he has blonde hair. Blonde hair. I mean, if I were to guess a name, Noel Clamp Bull? Okay. I don't know. I don't know anyone by the name Noel Clamp Bull, but I know people who have names like that. Yeah, that first name, that last name, both very common. So, we saw this guy, and he had brought rollerblades to the rink, instead of renting the roller skates, like we did. Sure, so his own pair. His own pair of rollerblades. No one else there had roller blades. Everyone else had roller skates. So obviously he's cool. He thinks for himself. He's doing a really cool thing
Starting point is 00:37:29 by wearing roller blades at the roller rink. Sure, he's an experienced skater. Yeah, and he's independent minded. Sure. He doesn't have to follow the crowd like us lame teenagers do. Yeah, right. Sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:37:41 He just can do his own thing. Yet, we still made fun of him. And we started making fun of him and we go, Hey, nice roller blades, ya weirdo. Whoa! Yeah, ya FOTW. And he was like, huh? And then we were like, freak of the week. And he was like, aw man.
Starting point is 00:38:01 And so, but then, get this, he had the perfect comeback that really put us in our place. So we were like, nice roller blades. And he was like, well actually, Rollerblade is a brand name. These are technically inline skates, and the brand is K2. I mean, perfect, right? Totally nailed us.
Starting point is 00:38:20 That guy, wow! To have the presence of mind to come back like that. The old clap bolt is back on top. No, but we didn't even give him his due for that awesome comeback. Oh, you didn't? You have to! We were just like, whatever, loser! What? FOTW! We were the worst! I can't believe we made fun of that super cool guy who was wearing rollerblades and may have also been the guy who was skipping across the street at one point and I think was awesome at Jenga Unchained at City Walk when we were talking. Oh man. That poor awesome man.
Starting point is 00:39:00 We're the worst. Yeah well. I guess if you see him again Yeah, what would you do if you saw that guy again? Probably ask for his autograph. And you know people who are teenagers roughly 13 to 17 years ago had it way harder than we do. Yeah. Are you sure? Because I'm wondering if that's true. Because you know, you got your bullying at school,
Starting point is 00:39:27 and then we used to come home, and we were free of it. Like maybe our brother was a dick or whatever. Bullying at school? Is that what you said? Bullying. Oh bullying, okay. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Because I took a bullying class when I was in school, so I was wondering why you would bring this up. Bully ink. Okay. But then we'd go home and we'd be pretty much free of it. But now you go home and you got cyber bully ink. Yeah. And cyber bowling, that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Is that a- Oh yeah, on the Wii? On the Wii, yeah. Oh man. So anyway, so it's just like, you know, now there's no escape and then you have your nightmares. Yeah, everyone has nightmares. Yeah. I think everyone, since the cavemen had nightmares.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Night is about, sleeping is about having nightmares as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, what do you think cavemen nightmares were? Were they like, oh no, I'm not naked in front of everyone. Anyway, we'll be right back. Oh, okay. No, no, no, no, we're not going to break on that. I'm so dumb, I thought we really were.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Yeah, me too, because you're calling random shots over here. You know, you're throwing in new podcasts. We will be right back. Tell you what, let's take one more break. When we come back, we'll be right back with Nancy Cooper, right back with Rick Faber and Christian Schall. Comedy Bang Bang after this. Yeah. Comedy Bang Bang, we are back with Christian Schall, our star of stage and screen, is here.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Thank you so much for that. I really needed to hear that in 2013. You're starting your own standup show in Los Angeles, correct or incorrect? Well yeah, Monday nights, correct, at the Virgil. Monday nights at eight, Kurt Brown, Ohuler and myself will be doing Hot Tub. This is January 10, of course, but when does that start? Well, it started in the past.
Starting point is 00:41:11 It started already? What? It starts on the 7th? Yeah, January 7th. So it started on Monday, and how much money does it cost to get into this show? Oh! I'm gonna decide when you tell me if I'm gonna go. No, I think it's like $5 online and $7 at the door.
Starting point is 00:41:27 What do you think of that, Rick? Sure. I don't even budget. Like my dad tried to teach me how to do. So if I had it in my pocket, I would just spend it. I'd go to that show and just spend $5 without even thinking. Well, you couldn't get in. So it's 21 and over instead of bars.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I'd probably use a fake ID. Ugh, come on. Not thinking about how that could get the bar owners in trouble. Yeah, not thinking about who died to get that fake ID into your hands. Right, probably it's someone in Afghanistan. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I could go, because I'm 22. Well, you are going, because you're living with me, and you go everywhere I go now.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Okay, and then I'm going to go up, and I'm going to go up. No, you're going because you're living with me and you go everywhere I go now. Okay, and then I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna get I'm gonna go up. No, you're not going up. Okay, cause I'm not going up. No, you're not ready. Um, Raquel, do you think I look? How do I think you look? Um, I mean. Well, she's an adult so that could be.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Right. Well, she just said she's 22. Yeah. But being a rude teenager, rather than saying a younger age, I'm gonna say 62. Yeah. Three away! I'm so terrible! That's good. Huh? Uh huh. So now somebody said, um, somebody said I look 62, I'm only 22. Wow, you're getting up there pretty soon. What's the difference in bus fare?
Starting point is 00:42:51 I don't know, I think it goes like a quarter for 10 years or something. I think it's a quarter for every 10 years. Quarter for every 10 years old you are? I think so, I don't know. What a weird bus out there in Lawrenceville. Why don't they take a look at your ID and then for every 10 years you are old they ask for a quarter.
Starting point is 00:43:10 You have to do a quarter. You have to do a quarter. And then that's 25 pennies. So right now it seems to me like your bus fare is 50 cents and if you got up to 65 it would be somewhere around $1.50. So I'm not sure why you're so intent on looking older. No, it goes the other way. I think it's like a quarter for each less than 100 you are.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Okay, a quarter for each. For each less than 100. A quarter for each decade under 100 you are. Okay, I get it, I get it, I get it. So right now at 22, you are a $2 fare. Yeah. Okay, got it. At 62, she would be a...
Starting point is 00:43:52 A $4 fare, no, a $1 fare. Mm-hmm, yeah, I think that's right. Okay, great. I didn't even have to go to college. I tell you what, Nancy, it doesn't matter, because when I'm done with you in the training program I've been listing you with, the intense 24-hour live-in training program,
Starting point is 00:44:09 you're gonna be the number one comic in the United States. You're gonna have people driving your ass around, you know what I'm saying? You're gonna be better, bigger, better, and more popular than Chris Rock, yeah. You know what you could do if you don't like paying the fare? This is what I do. I just skitch. I get on my board
Starting point is 00:44:26 and you grab the bumper of the vehicle. Oh come on, that's so dangerous. And I don't even wear a helmet. What? I know, even though my mom made me promise I would and I lied to her. What would happen if you died? How would your mom feel? Terrible and it's like I didn't even consider that. But you have a wheelchair so you could do the same thing. You could just skitch on the back of the bus, just grab on, and just let it pull you through traffic. Yeah, then I wouldn't even have to pay. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:54 And then I don't have to wear a helmet in my wheelchair. Why? I don't have to wear one. Nobody does. I guess not. I don't have to wear one at all. There should be some laws about wearing a helmet in a wheelchair You know if you're sketching yes, if you're sketching definitely, but I think through life
Starting point is 00:45:09 I don't think I think you should Wow Even if I had a helmet a night my mom bought me a nice helmet You know what I did I covered it with stickers from all the punk bands. I like Yeah, come on nice pristineistine helmet and it's now covered with all my punk stickers. Was it a pretty color? Yeah. What color? Ever heard of blue? Okay, watch it with the attitude. Calm down. Sorry, I'm sorry. Gosh. Just so full of it all the time. Full of contempt. There's a lot of hormones coursing through your body that you're not sure what to do with. Yeah, but that's not even a good excuse. I should still know better.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Hey, you don't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend you say? No, no. No? And Nancy, you're unattached, right? Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to married though, because I'm so busy with my career. Oh yeah. Look, you probably are beautiful on the inside, but I wouldn't date someone with a disability, because then all my friends would make fun of me.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I mean, that's shallow! It is shallow. I'm shallow! Would your friends make fun of you if someone who doesn't have a disability who rides a wheelchair for fun? Would they, huh? Nevermind.
Starting point is 00:46:27 All right, guys, it's time to play a little game here on the show. It's time to play a little something called Would You Rather? Oh. Yep, yep, yep, yep, it's time to play Would You Rather? And we all know how this is played. People send me Would You Rather scenarios to our Twitter, which is at CBBWYR, AKA Comedy Bang Bang Would You Rather.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Send them over to me over there and I sift through them. I find the good ones and I will read out the scenario out loud. I'll then open the floor for questions. You're free to ask me any question about either of the two scenarios that you like in order to help narrow down your choice. There's a lot of specifics in there that I know about
Starting point is 00:47:20 that aren't included in the actual question. Once we're done asking questions, I'll close the floor. Kristin will stop yawning. Oh, God. And then... That was, no, I had to... I did not yawn. What's this now?
Starting point is 00:47:35 You weren't yawning. I was stretching out my face muscles so that I could... Because I noticed I wasn't articulating, bullying very well. Oh, okay, so you just wanted to exercise those. So I was warming up my mouth. Sure. Okay. How do you just want to exercise those. So I'm warming up my mouth. Sure, okay. How do you feel now? Really good.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Really good. Sometimes you can move the microphone far away and then sometimes you can have the microphone closer. That's really good, Nancy. What, and you're a quick study, Nancy. Wow, it only took you about a half hour to. So then I'll close the floor for questions. You'll all vote and then I'll tally up the points
Starting point is 00:48:07 and we'll decide a winner. Okay, and it's that simple. So our first and only scenario comes to us from Tutsays, Tutsays, at T-U-T-S-A or Tut says probably. He or she asks, would you rather fart the number of hours like a grandfather clock chimes on the hour? A cuckoo clock. Sure, well I guess a cuckoo comes out
Starting point is 00:48:31 and says cuckoo for as many hours as there are, okay. Or have a mustache that is a homosexual? All right, would you rather fart the number of hours like a grandfather clock chimes on the hour or have a mustache that is a homosexual? I'm opening the floor for questions. Oh, I got so many. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Well, I mean, how is the mustache a homosexual? It is a homosexual mustache. What does that entail? So you are a woman by all accounts. Sure. And by the evidence in front of me. Thank you. Your girlish figure.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Thanks for seeing it. And so you would have a mustache that is that is attracted to women. Oh. Does that make sense? It seems like it'd be easier to get women with that mustache that loved women so much. Yeah but you yourself in your real life as Kristen Schaal you are not homosexual. Okay. But your mustache is and is attracted to women. Okay. And the most attractive thing is a woman's mustache.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Goes crazy for that. Okay. So you have a mustache that is constantly pulling you in all sorts of directions that you maybe perhaps don't wanna be. And I can't shave it off at all, or? You can't shave it off, but it grows back within one hour. Pfft.
Starting point is 00:49:44 A little heavier. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And a little bit more gay. If that's possible. Yeah, exactly. Can I ask a question?
Starting point is 00:49:53 Sure, Rick, of course. Yeah, you're so polite. Thank you so much for asking. I'm trying to remember the lessons my parents imparted on me. Okay. Is the, are the farts always a certain volume? Like might they sometimes be silent? Yet. Deadly. They are quite loud. They're, they're about as loud as Big Ben. Have you ever been to England? No. And I probably just make fun of everyone's accent if I had.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Well, they're really, really loud. People can hear them all throughout the town. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's more loud than a normal fart. Yeah, of course. Yeah. OK. You don't fart that loudly in your real life, you mean.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I don't fart? You don't fart. No way, man. What are you talking about? Come on, Rick. Come on, man. My friends are going to listen to this. Come on, Rick. Come on, man. You do. Everyone farts. No way. Come on, Rick. Come on, man, my friends are gonna listen to this. Come on, Rick. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:50:46 You do everyone's parts. No way. Come on, man. Rick, come on, man. No, come on. Rick, come on. Yeah, maybe once. Rick.
Starting point is 00:50:54 It was an accident. Rick. Someone else asked a question. Geez. All right. Yes, Nancy. So when, and it rings like a cuckoo clock. Someone else ask a question, jeez! Alright. Yes, Nancy.
Starting point is 00:51:06 So when, um, and it rings like a cuckoo clock, and then does it go one when it's one, two when it's two, three when it's three, four when it's four, five when it's five, six when it's six, seven when it's seven, eight when eight, nine one is nine, ten one is ten, eleven one is eleven, twelve one is twelve. Meaning the English words or the number of times? Number of times. Yes. It goes one, two times, one, two, three times.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Keep going. And then it goes one, two, four times, and then it goes one, two, five times, and then it goes one, two, six times. Mm-hmm. Keep going. And then it goes one, two, four times, and then it goes one, two, five times, and then it goes one, two, six times. I didn't even have to go to college. Yeah. But yeah, in other words, yes, really, really loudly, it will fart the number of times that the hour is. And it's military time, that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:52:01 So it goes all the way up to 12, and then it goes 13, 14, 15, yeah, all the way up to 24. I'm going with the homosexual. Oh, classic Would You Rather Blunder for 2013! Why? Voting early, oh my gosh. What, what, what? Kristen Schall getting points taken off the board. What, what?
Starting point is 00:52:20 That is a classic, you never vote early. I've not closed the floor, I've not asked you what your vote is. That is the first would you rather blunder of 2013 if you're paying attention. And so that means you have negative 2013 points. Not a good start, I have to say. Not a good start. Not a competitive start, certainly.
Starting point is 00:52:41 But I've seen people come back from bigger deficits. If your mustache is gay, can you still be straight? Sure, of course. It's just your mustache, is it like a magnet if it sees a gay guy, it pulls you toward him? Yes, of course, because he wants to give the person a mustache ride. I see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Does that help narrow down your choice? I just sometimes I'm boarding and I don't want, the worst thing when you're a skateboarder. Boarding an airplane? No, a skateboarder. Okay. The number one rule, we have a book about this at the shop.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Number one rule when you're a skateboarder, don't carry a magnet. When you go by metal, it'll suddenly pull you in that direction. Like a mailbox or something like that? Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. So, as a skateboarder, you really don't want anything magnetized on you as you're skating.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that. Yeah, huh. That's a good rule. Yeah. How many books in the series are about that? Well, only one but it's It's a 1016 pages. Wow 140 of which are footnotes Yeah, heavily researched book. Yeah. yeah. David Foster Wallace wrote it. Interesting. Okay, Nancy, any questions here? You can still ask questions, by the way, Kristen,
Starting point is 00:53:51 even though you voted early. No, I failed. Well, how are you ever gonna get back the points if you don't ask questions? Okay. When you're farting all those times. Up to 24 times. Does it feel good, like a nice release?
Starting point is 00:54:07 It does feel good, yeah. Just like a regular fart feels really good. Okay. Yeah. And by the way, you do it on the half hour too, but that's just a one single bum. So you're just farting all the time? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. Every half hour you fart at least once.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Okay. From one to 24 times you're farting. And it's audible, like. Oh, quite audible. Everyone in the city that you're farting. And it's audible like... Oh, quite audible. Yeah. Everyone in the city that you live in can hear it. And then in my case it would be all Lawrence Bell. Can you buy a recording of it on audible.com?
Starting point is 00:54:35 I imagine, yeah, of course. They have everything there. I mean, they have books from authors like friend of the show Patton Oswald with his book Zombie Spaceship Wasteland. You know? I don't know. We're gonna try to get into a little more integrated marketing by the way as the show does these extra episodes. I hope you manage it seamlessly. By the way Nancy, it's not Lawrenceville anymore. You're gonna be here in LA. Okay, I do have to go back though every once a week to do. Once a week, it takes five days to get back there.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And then five days, you can't do it once a week. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Okay. No, you can't. No, you can't, yeah, so we're saying you can't. Okay, mm-hmm, I'll do that. So you're not gonna go back then?
Starting point is 00:55:22 Mm, I'm gonna go every once a week. No, no, no, we're saying you can't go once a week. Would a mustache make me look older? I imagine, yeah, on men it makes them look older. How do you think I look? Well, I mean, you're 22. We've talked about this four times. This is the fourth time we've talked about this. Sorry, sorry. But you know, you're not gonna we've talked about this four times. This is the fourth time we've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Sorry, sorry. But you know, you're not gonna have to worry about bus fare anymore, because Kristen's gonna be driving you everywhere. Yeah. Do you have a wheelchair rack? You are my meal ticket. No, we can just put it in my back seat.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Okay, great. It folds up, right? Uh-huh, yeah. Okay, good. You have a large back seat then, I would imagine. You're not driving a sports car? It's a normal back seat. No, I'm not. You're not driving a sports car? It's a normal backseat, no I'm not. You're not in a Beretta?
Starting point is 00:56:05 No. All right. That's what I have from all the podcast money. I have a view of Skylark, it's on my front lawn. Right, yeah, your cat house. I guess I'll never see it again. No, you won't, your cats too, your new cat, gone. Your grandma? Grandma's gone.
Starting point is 00:56:23 More of a wrinkled prune. Yeah, say goodbye to your old life as you know it because when you're famous, you're not gonna have time to deal with it. You know what I mean. Yeah, well you're not gonna have time to talk to your old life and you're not gonna want to. Yeah, that's the great part about being famous, right?
Starting point is 00:56:40 Arr, arr, arr. Yeah. Who's gonna count all those pennies? You don't have to anymore, you're gonna be rich. Well what about all the clothes Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr close from stores. I only shop at Wawa. Wawa? Yeah, do you know the Wawa? They sell pretzels too for one. I don't know what Wawa is. No, I've never heard of that. It's a store. It's like a store.
Starting point is 00:57:16 All right, any other questions here to help you narrow down any of your scenarios? Do you live in a community that's accepting of the farting or do people respond to it like when you really hear a fart? They respond to it like when you hear a fart. It's like a normal society. Every single time, by the way. They don't get used to it, like Big Ben.
Starting point is 00:57:36 They really let you have it. Yeah. Okay, good question. Any others? No? All right, I'm gonna close the floor for questions. Here we go. And it's closed.
Starting point is 00:57:48 No more questions, guys. So sorry. But we are gonna vote. Why don't we go to Kristen here? Kristen, who really is in a deficit here and needs to be the comeback kid here with her vote. How do you like to vote? At one point, you blurted out how you wanted to vote. Yeah. Have you changed your mind since then? No. No? You're still, go ahead her vote. How do you like to vote? At one point you blurted out how you wanted to vote.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah. Have you changed your mind since then? No. No? You're still, go ahead and vote. Yeah, I wanna do a three way with my mustache and my lover. Your mustache and your lover, okay. And why is that?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Why isn't that? That's a stupid, I thought we weren't having questions anymore. That's a good point, okay. All right, we'll see how you fared on your vote, how many points you got soon Nancy, how do you like to vote? Um, I want to do the farting
Starting point is 00:58:32 You do want to do the farting? Okay, and why is that? Um, because um, that's less times Then I fart now I think because if you add them all up throughout the whole hour And then I don't know how many times I fart in my sleep, and then that's a lot, and then I'll always know what time it is. Uh huh. And you're doing these in your sleep. Let's add them up.
Starting point is 00:58:53 How many farts is this? This is 24 plus 23 plus 22 plus 21 plus 20 plus 19 plus 18, then of course come 17. And then 16, and then 15, and then 14, and then 13, and then 12, and then 11, and then 10, and then nine. I didn't even have to go to college. I didn't even have to go. All right, so you're looking at, plus you're doing them on the half hours for plus 24,
Starting point is 00:59:31 you're looking at over 300 farts a day. Mm-hmm. And you're fine with that? Mm-hmm. Okay, and they're super loud. They're the loudest thing. They're louder than fireworks. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Okay, great. You probably wouldn't have to poop. Oh no, you poop in that. Oh really? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you poop on the quarter hours. Oh fuck. Massive poops that take 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Oh my god. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm. Sorry, you voted that way. Yeah, you're voting or you're pooping 48 times a day for 15 minutes at a time. All right Rick, how do you like to vote? Well, I mean as a skater, I would never get up skating.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Obviously my motto is skate or die. Sure, yeah, obviously. And number one rule of skating can't be carrying anything magnetized. So I guess I'll go with farts. Maybe they'll even help with propulsion. Great. All right, well, some interesting votes there. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So Kristen, you voted for the mustache. Yeah. And then Rick and Nancy, you both voted for the farting. And Rick and Nancy, you both had, you asked great questions. So Rick, you had three points that you accrued during the actual questioning. Nancy, you had one really great question, so you had seven points. Nancy and Rick, you both voted incorrectly, however. Kristin. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:05 You voted correctly in that you had a total of 2,019 points, which puts you up at six points. Unfortunately, that lets you beat Rick, but Nancy, you're ahead with seven points. Nancy, you're our winner. Did you ever notice that I just won everything? Wow, that's like, wow.
Starting point is 01:01:28 You know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's like spiking the ball when you're in the end zone. That's, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to dock you a point, two points for excessive taunting. Sorry. So, Kristen.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Yes? You're now our winner because Nancy is only at five. So, you're at six points. Woo! So, Kristen, you're the winner. because Nancy is only at five, so you're at six points. So, Kristin, you're the winner. Congratulations. Thank you very much. I don't want to do anything to upset this win. A gracious winner. See, Nancy, there's a lesson you could learn. I didn't know I didn't win anything before ever. That was the first thing I was going to ever win. Oh, really? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Now I know how Beck felt. Because he was a loser. Yeah. Although when he wrote that song, it actually was a huge hit. So he probably felt really good. Soy un perdedor. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:14 And that is, of course, how we play Would You Rather. Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh! Alright guys, boy, we have done it. There's only one thing left to do here on the show and that is a little something that we call Plugs! Ugly what? Oh, Ugly Doll. I'm wearing an ugly doll watch. You can't whisper right into the mic.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Hahaha! Since he was asking about my watch. Alright, let's listenjam the Plugs by Neesage, I believe is how you would pronounce that. K-N-E-I-S-A-G-E.

Starting point is 01:04:18 What is that? It's another show for kids. For kids, oh, okay, a kid's show. Rick, you ever see that? No. Why do you say it like that? I don't watch kid stuff. Is it because you're afraid that we're infantilizing you
Starting point is 01:04:35 by implying that we? I mean, just when it even occurred to me, I try to watch like adult stuff. Why is that? I guess it's just my taste is what I am drawn to. Rick. Why? Rick.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Come on man, my friends are gonna listen to those. All right, I'm sorry, okay. Rick, do you have anything that you'd like to plug? Yeah, come on down to the skate shop. Where is that located? It's on Manchester Boulevard. Manchester Boulevard. Manchester Boulevard. Yeah.
