Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you, Yodeling Walrus. And I realize I added the word giant because I thought it said that and then it didn't. But hey, it still works with giant in it. So thank you so much. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another episode. And what an episode it is! I'm Scott Aukerman, welcome to the program. If you never heard an episode, what is comedy? Hmm, let's see. You got old tragedy. And then how long? I mean, it's debatable, certainly,

but some time creeps in, certainly. And speaking of time, our guest got very excited when I said that word. He's been on the show only once before. Do you remember how long ago? Tick-tock, tick-tock. How many moons was it? Twas the sixth anniversary show!

Yes, I believe it was the first Monday of May, perhaps. So a good four months at this point. Anyway. Mm, a wonderful amount of time. Yes, please welcome back Maxwell Keeper, AKA The Time Keeper. The Time Keeper, tis I, tis I. Okay, hello Maxwell. Greetings, Scott.

Greetings to you, or hello is a more, you know, just a general way of saying that a little more. Salutations. OK, hello, yes. Yes, yes. Welcome back to the show. Catch people up on who exactly you are. You're from Tallahassee, Florida.

Correct. And what do you do for a living? I love to celebrate and observe the passage of time. Right. But more than that, for a living, you? Work at my brother-in-law's watch repair store. Right. OK.

And what is that called again? What's the store? Longo Watch Repair. OK, so that's in Tallahassee. It's in Tallahassee. Yeah, do you have an address? Yes, I do. 6723 West Edgeboro Road in Tallahassee. Okay, you sounded like you had more to come on that. Usually when people end a sentence on road, like that, uh, uh, uh, that's a signal for there is more to come. Yes, I just do that because I like people to go,

mm, I should wait, and then they pay more attention to time. Ah, I see, yeah. There were quite a few seconds that ticked by. Yes, tick tock, tick tock. Tick tock, tick tock. And what's happening at the watch store lately? Well. When do you work there?

What's your shift? I open and close the store and I'm there all day. They don't ask me to, I just love being there. And then I call people and let them know what time it is if their watch is in for repair. I call them every. That's right, how long? Every 10 minutes, you know, they can sign up actually for...

For longer or shorter amounts of time. But they give you, or the other people who work there, their watch, you repair it and... I'm not, I don't know how to repair a watch. My brother Desmond Longo knows how to repair watches. Why does he have a different last name? My brother-in-law, my sister Eleanor married him. Oh, Eleanor Keeper? Eleanor Keeper, Eleanor Longo, nay Keeper. Yes, okay, very good.

Now, so you call these people who are watch lists every 10 minutes or so. Correct, correct, but I've been working on a new way of getting in touch with people or having them get in touch with me. Wait, they are getting in touch with you. Okay. Right now they're beholden to my schedule. I call them every 10 minutes. But sometimes you want to know what time it is, even though you don't...

You can't wait around for 10 minutes for me to call and tell you. Certainly. So it's like at that moment that they would be glancing at their watch. What do they do? Instead, here's what they could do. Well, here's what I'd like. I'm trying to raise money. Which is it? What you would like them to do or what they could do?

Well, it involves an app. But I need to do a Kickstarter or something like that. Indiegogo, perhaps. And raise the funds to develop and create this app. Okay. What app is it? What is it? Now it's an app and you would be on your phone. Okay, sure. We all know what apps are, but okay, go ahead. And if you want to know what time it is...

Yes, we've established the situation very clearly at this point. You pull out your phone, you find this app, you press the app, and then it will call me and then I can on your beeper or something it calls my number yeah my calls my answering service okay and then I'll get the message and I will go outside look at the Sun to figure out what time it is okay I then go back in and call you on that phone to tell you what time it is, and then come back in and call you on that phone to tell you what time it is.

And how long does this process take normally? I run as fast. Okay, I'm not- As fast as the wind will take me. Certainly, I'm not questioning your ability, nor speed of running. Thank you. But about front to back,

from wondering what time it is to finding out what time it is, about how long is the process. Oh, I'd give it a good seven to ten minutes. Okay. Can I ask one question? Yes. And this is obvious to me, and perhaps our listeners, but maybe isn't popping up for

you, but on these mobile phones, they have numbers on the faces. Correct. Anytime you turn one on, practically. And what that denotes, what those numbers denote, is what time it actually is. Well, sure, yes. Yes. If you want to trust that, but if you want a more accurate, distinguished measure of time, measurement, I can be the one to tell you.

And instead of relying, you know, you can get it, what do they say? You can get it done cheap or you can get it done quickly, or you can get it done right. Pick two of the three. So you can get it done cheap and right? Or quickly and right? I'm right and I'm fast.

Okay, here's another thing. How often are you correct when you're just looking at the sun? Why don't you look at a watch, one of the watch? I know there's a lot of broken watches in the shop. Watches, those are just numbers and they're trying to guess. Time is actually based on where the sun is in the sky.

Okay. I'm going to the source on this. How good are you at it? As you know, we have a the sun is in the sky. Okay. I'm going to the source on this. How good are you at it? As you know, we have a sunroof here in the studio. I'm gonna test you out. I have my digital phone, which is hooked up to the satellites, which are hooked up to, I would imagine, Big Ben? Very well. I mean, sure, you're gonna get some delay as...

Do you like Big Ben? Oh, I love Big Ben. I have a poster of Big Ben in my room. Oh, really? And we're not talking about Big Benjamin Franklin at this point, we're talking the clock. I'm talking clock. Okay.

All right, so I know what time it is currently. Great. And I want you to look out that sunroof and just, and I'll test you here at how accurate you are. I would say oh 5 12 p.m. and 39 seconds. Okay it is 9 in the morning. Well.

Now we had an appointment for you to show up at 9 in the morning. Yes. And there's no way that you think from the beginning of this show until now that eight hours had elapsed. I, here's the issue. Okay. I'm used to looking at it from the exact longitude and latitude. Oh, I see. Of longer watch repair, or the parking lot out back anyway.

Okay. And so that's a different time zone. Okay, still. So the position is- From LA to Tassee, it's only about noon there. Yes, yes. But when you account for several other factors, it would be 5, 12, and 39 seconds. Oh, OK.

I didn't realize that. Thank you. Thank you. OK, you're right. And I'm wrong. Yes. So once those factors have been taken into said account, then I'm correct. And so you can use this app, I call it Clock.

Clock. C-L-A-W-K. Oh, okay, that's clever. Yes. Okay, what's the icon? And you can use that and you'll get a more accurate time. It's that drawing of Big Ben that's in my room that I did. The poster?

Oh wait, you drew it? I drew it. So when you say you have a poster, you just drew a very large... Yes, my sister doesn't allow me to have other posters. Oh, why does she allow this one? She's trying to encourage my creativity. She says I'm not creative enough. Did you draw it from memory or from a reference photo?

Memories of dreams I've had. Oh, OK. Have you ever even seen one picture of it? I feel it's been represented in several forms of media I've consumed. Oh, really? Such as the great mouse detective perhaps? Yes, yes.

Mostly that. OK. Very good. And may I see this icon on your phone? Here you are. Okay. I don't have a smartphone, but this is the drawing. Okay, so you have a... Wow, you have just a giant diary.

Do you mind if I flip through this thing? My gosh. Be my very guest! So many pages. Thank you. There's so much written down here. It took quite a lot of, dare I say it, time. Okay. Okay. quite a lot of dare I say it time okay okay this is I mean it's definitely I can recognize it as a clock thank you as Big Ben I'm not really sure hmm first

well a small icon it's harder yeah but it's relative sure okay it's not necessarily the size of it it's just you know all this is is a circle with, there don't seem to be any kind of hands on the clock. It's just is a circle with a frowny face, almost like a Charlie Brown shirt. Yes. You know, the zigzag. Yes. It's just a tiny picture of a face.

Yes, well. Yes, well, I thought, you know, it's an abstract portrayal. You know, Van Gogh wasn't a good artist because he painted the most accurate photo-realistic. Oh, I see. This is how you feel when you look at Big Ben? Yes, it's expressionist. Okay, so people are going to have this app called Clock. Clock! And it's just going to be a face of a human being.

Yes. Who seems sort of Sort of disinterested in anyone clicking on it correct, and this is a good idea for an app Thank you. Okay. No, I was more of a question. Oh it is it is and if so, I don't know how to start a Kickstarter or could learn or perhaps a listener could make one for me and raise the funds. How much time? And then figure out who to give them to to develop said app.

Okay. Why do you, where did you go to school? Tallahassee. When you, that's a town? High school. High school, yes. Oh, okay, you never went to college? Any kind of higher learning?

No, no. Heavens no. Okay, why do you talk like this? I suppose it was the only way I know how. Why does the bullfrog ribbit at thine moon? Oh gosh. It's not just my moon, it's our moon. Okay, I hate to take possession 100% of it.

And what was your favorite class when you were in high school? My favorite class was maths. Mm, arithmetic? Arithmetic, yes. The numbers reminded me of the very numbers upon a clock face. Okay, but what about 13? Boo! That's not on a clock face. Okay. What about 13? Boo! Boo!

That's not on a clock. Do you don't like that number? My sister once showed me a military time clock. Just once? That's the only time you've seen one? Yes, it was a digital clock that told military time. It had a 13. So in the rare exception,

I'm okay with the number 13. And you live with your sister, I'm guessing? And my brother-in-law. Okay, in their spare room or is it the house you grew up in? Yeah, there's not a door on it, but it's sort of like a little alcove. Why is there not a door?

Well, they don't have a very big place. Oh, it's not a room? Yeah. Oh, I see, it's an open concept kind of situation. Exactly. Oh, okay, and where is an open concept kind of situation. Exactly. Oh, okay. And where is it located? In Tallahassee.

No, I mean in the actual house. Oh, the room? Yeah. It's sort of by the laundry, the washing machine, and even the very dryer. Okay. I hear the very dryer that what? Usually when one says the very...

That removes the very moisture that the washing machine forces upon our cloth. Calm down, calm down. You're standing up shaking your fist right now. I'm sorry, I've worked up. Okay, but... It's very nice of them to let me stay there. What happened to your situation? You don't have an apartment? No, no. Well, my parents forced me to move out. Oh, I see. It was one of those situations. I was at school and I came home and they had moved. Oh, okay. A forced move out. Yes, and I had nowhere to go and my sister said I could stay with her in Desmond. You're close with

Desmond and your sister? Elizabeth, was it? Eleanor. Eleanor, right. Yes, Eleanor Keeper. Yes. Long ago. Close with them? They're the only people who have ever spoken to me other than you. Oh. Really? Well, recently.

I mean, I suppose the customers. What about, yeah, the customer? You're apparently calling these customers and letting them know the time. We don't have much time for chit chat. I have over four customers I must call every day. Isn't it ironic you don't have a lot of time? Yeah. It's the one thing that is in abundant supply, yet no one has enough of it. Okay, thank you. That's, I guess so, but. Yes, I think I'm quite right. Okay. And what are you doing back on the show?

You'd want to talk about the app. The app, yes. You're here to co-host with me. I thought I'd jockey a few discs with you. Okay, we don't play songs on the show anymore. Okay. We do have a guest though. Maybe you're a fan of comedy.

I am certainly a fan of comedy. I've spent quite a lot of time laughing at the very comedies of Harold Lloyd. Okay, is he your favorite because he hung off that clock tower? Hehehe! Hohoho! Okay, you're not a fan of Harold Lloyd, you're just laughing at a clock at this point. Oh, I guess I'm laughing so, yes, so what? A clock at a comedy!

What are your favorite movies? You obviously have seen The Great Mouse Detective. Great Mouse Detective. And you've seen that Harold Lloyd Safety? Great mouse detective. Have you seen that Harold Lloyd safety last? Safety last, yes. Back to the future have you seen that? Mm-hmm very good. Okay, do you consider that to be a tragedy?

Well, it's I would say no because it starts and the clock is in disrepair and by the end. Oh, I see. It is working again. Okay, what are your other movies that you've seen? and the clock is in disrepair and by the end... Oh, I see, yeah....it is working again! Okay, what are your other movies that you've seen? Clock Watchers! Oh, okay. Wait, who's in that again? Lisa Kudrow!

Oh, right, okay. Anything else that you've seen? Um... What about Nick of Time? Ooh, that one's good. Things that are in real time? What about 24? Is that your favorite show? I like... well, I got scared when it gets violent, but otherwise I like the concept. Uh huh. Yeah, I would also imagine that military time aspect of it, when it's like, beep, beep, beep, beep, that would not be to your taste. I grew used to it. No, let it not be said, Maxwell, keep a Hathent in open mind.

I don't think Hathn't is a contraction. Tis now, upon this very morn. OK, all right. Look, we have to get to our next guest. Are you going to behave yourself? I shall. Let's cast the pods into the realm. OK, that's not a saying.

All right, our first guest is a comedian. He's obviously, I don't know, that's not a saying. All right, our first guest is a comedian. He's obviously, I don't know, he's on the sort of, kind of, he speaks the truth a lot. He's on the dangerous end of the spectrum of stand-up comedy. Well, I'm not afraid to speak the truth, Scott. There's a difference. We all know the truth, just some people are courageous

about it and some people are not. Yeah, yeah, but you know, truth just some people are courageous about it and some people are not yeah Yeah, but you know I got some of the smartest coolest hippest fans Mmm, they recognize the truth. They understand the truth. They can't say it themselves Otherwise, they would be just as popular as you correct. So do you have a way of inter? By the way, Paul Rust is here. Hello Paul. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, it's got just let me say yeah I think this podcast is one of just the coolest smartest smartest, hippest podcasts too. So I'm not just like blowing smoke at my own ass. I agree verily. Okay. Maxwell. Most importantly, funny though. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the, but I mean,

we're funny because we speak the truth, obviously. Yeah. Yeah, we're both. We're similar. Truth speakers, yeah. Yes, three of a kind. Okay, by the way, Paul, this is Maxwell Kaper. Hey, Maxwell. A thousand welcomes to you and yours. You probably wouldn't remember this, but we've actually, we've met before. Oh really?

I was doing a showdown in Tallahassee once. My watch broke, so. Oh, you went to Longos? No. I went to a new watch store, bought a new watch, and Maxwell was roaming outside back and forth, outside the. Outside the new watch store?

Yeah, I don't know. Do you remember what that store was called by any chance? Crongo. Crongo's, okay. Our competitor. Okay, because you have two choices when one breaks a watch. Throw it away and buy a new one or get it fixed. It's a real long-goer Krongo situation.

That's where that term came from. Okay, right. So he was pacing around. Did you meet him? You had words? I don't know if a cost is the right word, but we sort of, you know, I think we bumped into each other briefly. But like a physical bump?

Yeah. Like a push? I mean, I think he tripped over my cape. This cape was very long. Maybe that's on me. Can I ask, when you say your cape, what exactly are you talking about? I wear a midnight blue cloak cape with a starfield inner lining. Oh, I see.

Everywhere I go, it's on the floor here if I stand and put on a twirl. Oh gosh, wow, that is quite a cloak. Quite a starfield. So that's all it was. You simply tripped upon the cloak and we bumped a little and I might have said something about purchasing a new timepiece when you you could have just repaired your old one. Yeah do you have regrets about that I mean? Oh certainly yeah and that's all I asked for him to have a regret. We worked it out.

We did. Right now. Where you had one regret and that's fine with him. Yes. Okay, so he gave me tickets He told me the tickets have time printed on them. Oh Well, I gave me two I couldn't get anyone to go with me and so I just went by myself But it was did you tear up the other ticket into just shreds? Yes, yes, I tore it. I didn't frame it. Oh, wait, you're allowed to put framed items on your wall? I didn't say it's on the wall. My head have been under the bed.

Oh, OK. Interesting. So how was his act? Paul, you've been on the show many times. You're one of our favorite comedians. Thank you, thank you, Scott. How was his act? Timekeeper Maxwell, I should call you? Oh, it was someone the most wondrous time I've ever spent.

So funny and so filled with the very truths that our politicians refuse to tell us. Yeah, did it start exactly at the same time that was printed on the ticket? No. That's kind of an oversight, Paul. Well, the last get funnier and bigger the later you go. Oh, okay.

So a lot of times I'll just pace back and forth backstage for 45 minutes before I come out. Hmm, okay, how long was that night? Timekeeper, I would imagine you would know out of anyone. 45 seconds and 39 minutes. Okay, you do it backwards. The European way. Sometimes.

Okay, it's Japanese, I believe. If you please. Okay, well, Paul, obviously you're one of our funniest comedians. There's a lot going on in the world right now. I mean, obviously it's a- We'll have to get cheesed off about, Scott. Let's just put it plain and simple.

All right. There's a lot in the world to get your wheels greased. Yeah, obviously, I mean, you got's a- Well, we'll have to get cheesed off about, Scott. Let's just put it plain and simple. All right. There's a lot in the world to get your wheels greased. Yeah, obviously, I mean, you got things- To turn your crank. You got things like this lady out there, the court clerk, you know, what's her name? She's not giving out marriage licenses. Oh, oh.

Scott, I don't dip my toe in those waters. Oh, okay. Oh, all right. Well, obviously, you know, some other stuff that's going on is, you know, Donald Trump is out there and, you know, all the Republican candidates are out there really trying to drum up support. You also have Hillary, who is undergoing her mini scandal with the email server. I mean, what's going on? It's so funny. I get so many of my followers on Twitter saying, when you gonna new no-no Trump? You know, they're waiting for my take. Yeah, your patent did new no-nos, yeah. Which is one of your, sort of, shticks.

One of his very bits! Right. And what do you answer them, those people? You're gonna have to wait for 2016. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. So what do you, um, what do you, what do you got then? What are we talking about? What do you, what do you got? I think to talk, uh, I think I should do my new no-no, Scott. Oh, really? Start the clock. What?

Start the clock. Good afternoon. At the show, time will be. Time? Now Scott, you know what new no-nos are. It's where I establish some rules for how I think. Should be. Should be.

Right. Yeah, we all know new no-nos. Very popular feature. It's like Bill Maher's New Rules. Okay, okay, okay. What? New no-no. Is it just me or is back to school shopping starting earlier and earlier every year?

Am I right? Yes, tis, tis. So I guess here I am, mid-June, standing at a Target, buying school supplies for myself. Cause somebody on the TV says it's time to go back to school. I'm not in school. Don't have kids. But I'm buying supplies and new gym shoes.

You know, no, let's start school in December. Okay. Oh, did you end up going to school? Yeah. I just started sixth grade. A baffling assortment of information. Some of it quite contradictory to the other. No, no, no.

Let's get this back. No, no, no. Here we go. Deflategate? Can somebody explain Deflategate to me? Let's just make it nice and simple, huh? For all the air that got taken out of the balls last season, we put it back in the balls next season.

Make the balls bigger. I know the groupies won't mind. If the balls are poofier and filled with more air. Yes. A ladies most secret fantasy. Okay. The famer sex. No, no, no, in Flategate.

Yeah. Oh yes. Okay. It's a unique take on the Deflategate controversy. As long as we're talking about sports. Have you guys heard of this new thing, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition? Yeah, I've been hearing about it for decades.

It's this magazine. They tell you you can flip through it and look at different pictures of ladies in bikinis. Let's just make it fair. When I open the magazine, why doesn't a swimsuit fall out? A pair of swimming trunks for me or a bikini for my wife. You're married? Not yet. Something to entice your wife with. To lure her. Yeah. You know that Sports Illustrated subscription you were trying to talk me out of? Look in your closet there's a new string bikini for you, babe. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Very good. Okay. Is that one done? New no-no. Yeah, new one. Okay. New, new no-no. Okay.

Usually you end your new no-no with a sort of encapsulation of what- Oh, new no-no. Give me a string bikini to wear. Okay. So many magazines fail and they have articles about something. But when you open it up, objects don't fall out. Start the clock. Yeah, start it again.

Tick tock. What is your favorite magazine? Time. OK. Very good. That was worth the wait. No, no, no. Could somebody explain these baby changing stations in men's room?

Have you ever seen one of these get used? Yeah, all the time. Sorry, I didn't mean to get you. Step it on it. Because not once have I ever seen a little baby walk over, unlatch the changing station, crawl up, pull off his little pants, and change his own diaper. Haven't seen it once, and I've looked, baby, when I'm standing at the urinal, I got my eye on that baby changing station the whole time. Uh-huh. Sometimes I'll poop in the urinal so I can keep my eyes on it the whole time.

Okay. Is this something you want to see or not? I gotta see it so I know where my tax dollars are going. Have you ever seen a parent put a child on top of one of them and then change its diapers? I saw a baby put its parent on there once and change its dirty underwear. Okay, well, I would be more amazed by that. This baby was strong.

New no-no. Yes? Men shouldn't change baby's diapers. Oh, wow, that went into a misogynistic bent at the end of it. It seems, I'm sorry, unrelated to the rest of it. I'm sorry, but my comedy's a lot like Eddie Murphy's. A little delirious and raw.

Okay. And sort of non-existent now. Well, it comes in clumps. All right, what, You got another one? Episode seven, where's Darth Vader? He might be... No one knows he could be in it. Yeah. What, did he die?

He died in six. Then come back. His helmet is in the trailer. It counts! Oh, so you're happy now? Yeah! Okay. That's the first new new no no I'm striking and it's an old yes yes new no no designer jeans your kids nowadays all that I don't want to do this because I thought it was too soon The you see kids and they got the designers name on the on their on the backs of their jeans, okay?

And you say why they're like, oh, it's it's it's the new style Don't you know it's the new style. That's a child's voice. I Don't want jeans that are designed by anyone. I Want to just wear big scraps of denim tied together with twine. Who's gonna tie it together? Zecavarici. I'll have a jeans designer tie it on me, but I'm not gonna wear his name on my ass. Okay.

I'm not sure that's a new thing. I think most jeans have the name of the label on the back. Hey, the only name that I'm gonna have on my ass is my future wife's. As a tattoo or? Cause she owns it. Oh, okay. Great.

Technically. New No-No. Yes. No, no, no. Yes. Y2K? Chill out, it's four years from now. It's not. No, no. No, that was 15 years ago.

It's 19 years ago. You misunderstood time. Let me take this time to the time. Yes. To honor the 20 year, next year is the 20 year anniversary of Princess Diana's death. Goodbye, Inglis Rose. You were truly the people's princess. Okay, this doesn't seem to fit in with your act at all.

A tragedy, to be sure, but 20 years is a wonderful amount of time. Okay, I'm glad that you enjoyed that. Should I do one more? Yeah, maybe we should restart the clock because I feel like it's just about... I've never gone more than twice through it. I wouldn't mind hearing a few old yes yeses too. Yeah, I enjoyed that one.

Old yes yes. Wine. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's an old, yes, yes. Wine. Uh-huh. Yeah. That's an old, it ages well. Uh-huh. Yes, yes, it does. Oh, yes, yes.

The best ingredient in wine is time. Ah, yeah. Oh, what about comedy? Tragedy plus time, yes. Oh, that's how we introduced you. That's Segway. I'm forgetting already. I got very excited by something.

Sorry, Segway set me off. After Usain Bolt ran to 200 meters in 19.55 seconds of time, a Segway hit him. OK. All right, what's your last one? You must have the clock. Start the clock your last one? Stop the clock! Start the clock or stop it? Stop the clock.

Stop the clock. Stop it. One more, start the clock! Yeah! Good acting. New no-no, Roberto Benigni. Who is this guy? Won an Oscar, or two maybe for life.

Oh yeah, and he's real excited about it, huh? Jumping up, running across those seats to get his Oscar Yeah, hey, you do know him. Yeah Took is me saying he won an Oscar and you jog my memory. Okay, great. Hey Roberto Yeah, yeah, buddy. You can climb across chairs in a pit of hot molten lava, dude Whoa, no, shots fired. That one took place closer to Y2K. Yeah, certainly.

And do you end it with an encapsulation of how you feel about it? Speak truth. Oh, OK. Great. That was all new material from when I saw you in Tallahassee. He doesn't stop the clock until you say stop the clock.

Stop the clock. I'm sorry, stop the clock. All right, good, good. All right. I thought Maxwell, you can start and stop from now on. Why would I ever stop a clock? Those were interesting. And that's all new material.

You write a new hour every year, right? Uh, two new hours every year. And then I a lot of times just scrap the other hour and just take the best stuff. Okay, what was all that taken from? It was the stuff I scrapped. Okay, why don't you bring us some good stuff next time? Yeah, it's funny when I was coming over here I had a lot of A plus stuff and uh... Do you remember any of it?

See. Hey, I'm sorry, pumpkins, okay, we carve them in October, we make them pies in November, and we just forget about these orange little devils for ten months? No, no, no. On the fourth of July, I'm gonna make my friends roll a pumpkin around. That was the best one! Okay! I enjoyed that! Okay, very good! Oh, Paul Rust, fantastic stuff. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. Edgy, edgy. Edgy stuff.

The letters were pouring in like the rains from above. I can't wait for three months from now when we get to your Trump stuff. The letters will come pouring in like the rains from above. I can't wait for three months from now when we get to your Trump stuff. Yeah, all right, well we have to take a break. When we come back we'll have more Maxwell Keeper and more Paul Rust. We'll be right back. Comedy Bang Bang, we're back here. We have Maxwell Keeper. TikTok. Is with me. Is that your catchphrase or is that just what goes through your head? It's my very catchphrase. Ah, very good. And Paul Rust is here. Comedian Paul Rust. Sharp. Sharp? Is that your catchphrase?

Yeah. What does it mean? The time sharp. What? Like six o'clock sharp. Oh. What? Because six o'clock sharp. Oh. What? Because I got an edge.

OK. Oh, I see. You're edgy comedy. You're so used to it. Sharp. Sharp. Then I was wrong. OK.

Very good. Well, we have another guess. Do we have time, do you think, Timekeeper? There's always more time. Ah. And yet, what were you saying about it before? There's not enough of it? Yet there's never enough.

Okay, yeah. Yet there's always more. Yeah, so even after we die, it's not enough time for a lot of us, but there will still be more time. That's Bufo's paradox. Who's Bufo? The philosopher who came up with this paradox. Don't you mean the very philosopher?

The very philosopher who came up with said paradox. Okay. I'm noticing you have about two vocal ticks. Thank you. Verily. All right, well we have to get to our next guest. He is a, how old are you? Scott, I'm a high school junior.

High school junior? Okay, very good. And he's here to tell us all about his new venture. Please welcome Marco. Hello, Marco. Hello, Scott, thank you very much for having me. My name is Marco, I'm a junior, and I'm looking to go on a missions trip this spring.

At this time, I do need to raise $3,000 in order to go on the missions trip, and I'm looking for donations from you and your listeners. Oh, donations. Oh, a lot of high school kids sell things in order to raise the money. Or you're just looking for a handout? At this time, I already,

the things that I was supposed to sell, I didn't understand that they were to sell, and I did eat all the candy bars. So at this time, I am just looking for a donation. You thought they were just giving you candy bars. Well, I thought they was just part of the mission strip and I had to raise... You thought it was like a little pre-trip celebration here, like, hey, have a whole bunch of candy bars before we go.

Well, I thought it was just something that you got when you signed up to be interested in a mission strip. And then I accidentally had all of them. And so at this time, I do need $3,000. Okay. All right. You couldn't just, I mean, obviously you can't return the candy bars, so you owe these people $3,000.

That's right, just to break even and another $3,000 to go on the mission strip. So you need $6,000. At this time, $6,000 is the amount of money total that I do need. Do you need any money for clothes and food and supplies? No, the costs of the mission strip will be $3,000 and that will cover room, board, food and travel.

Okay, great. Okay, so you're looking for a 6K, 6 large. That's right. And I do want to tell you that it will be a 10 day trip to hundreds and in that time I will be teaching preschoolers English. Oh, okay. Wow, that's a lofty goal for the, why preschoolers English. Oh, okay. Wow, that's a lofty goal. Why preschoolers? Because that is the age where people are able to learn most language.

Okay, so a mission strip. You know, it feels weird though just to ask for money. I mean, the chocolate is probably not worth it. How much were the chocolate bars supposed to be sold for? It was going to be $3 for each chocolate bar and I had 1,000 chocolate bars. And I had a couple friends over and one crazy weekend we did finish all the chocolate bars. One weekend? That's right. 1,000 chocolate bars? How many is that timekeeper per hour?

500 per day. Okay. 24 of those lovable hours in a day. Sure, sure. Twenty-four goes into five hundred... Probably four... Times five. Plus a little remainder.

Okay, so about four per hour? Hours, I love them. Okay, so math was your favorite subject. Yes. Were you any good at it? No, I just liked how it reminded me of clocks. Okay. Needless to say, it was a crazy weekend. I do regret my behavior.

But this time I do need to break even at the very least. But wouldn't the 3,000 that... If they're just donating 3,000, when I'm getting good at math now, why would you need another 3,000 on top of that? Wouldn't that 3,000 be the amount you needed to sell 1,000 candy bars for $3? You ate them, but then if you get that money...

A rare moment of lucidity for the timekeeper. Yes, thank you. I do need to, I do, at this time, need $3,000 for the trip and then an extra $3,000 for spending money while I'm there. Okay, I see, I see, okay. Okay, okay. I gotta say that I kind of, I'm not just gonna give you money,

I kind of want something in return for it. Um, well, I have a lot that I can offer, not in goods, but in services, and I'll be available to you. I am very handy, and I will come over and- Why are you making a jerk-off motion with your hand? Oh, well I'm just letting you know that if there is something that you would please have from me that this trip means almost the world to me and so I'm willing to sacrifice... Why are you making the like blowjob with like sticking your tongue in your cheek. Well Scott, this is an important trip to me, this means a lot to me, and if there's anything I can do for you, there's no hole I'm scared of.

No hole you're scared of? Your hole, the only hole of his you're referring to is the urethra. Well I don't know. No, no, the timekeeper's right, the only hole I ever refer to is the urethra. On him? Okay. Paul? I don't know about that. I mean, I know that I could use maybe an intern. I'm walking around

all the time and I'm just rattling off new no-nos around my place. And I'm writing them down on scraps of paper and napkins and I don't know, I could use some little hands. Well, Paul, I can't tell you that I have little hands, but I do have hands that can get the work done. OK, so let's just try one right now. I'll rattle off a new note now. That would be great. Let's see if you can write it down.

Start the clock. OK, I'll write it down as fast as I can. Good afternoon. Afternoon, a great time period. Oh, one of the very ones after morn uh two pays hmm okay yeah sure you can wear your to pay as long as you promise me your hair will keep growing underneath okay okay I got it usually by the way Paul maybe you've forgotten how you

do these. You then finish it by going, no, no, no, and then you encapsulate it in a way that we can all understand exactly what you're saying. Yeah, but sometimes I feel like then it's hard to ramp back into a new one. Okay, I just wanted to let you know how you used to do it. Maybe you've changed your style. I mean, comics evolved. Carlin, he used to be very goofy and then. Carlin pulled me aside and told me this was gonna happen. Oh, okay. Crangy Carlin. Oh, Crangy Carlin.

Tupes, I'll give you Tupes as long as you keep letting the hair grow underneath no no no. I wrote it down. See, I'm available for a little time. I didn't see you write it down. Maybe you just committed it to memory? Absolutely, and I will do that for you. I'm so committed to going to Honduras. All my friends are going to be there, and if I don't go, I'm going to be left out all of senior year. And I'm dedicated to going and helping and also having just a bomb as time. Well I'm curious what kind of a Charitable charity you're doing. Charitable? What kind of Charitable?

Churchill. Which missions? The mission, well as I did say we are going to Hunters and we will be teaching the language, we will be teaching rough English to preschoolers in 10 days. You don't have to say as I did say, like in your face I already said this, you know what I mean? It's kind of rude to say that to a person, don't you agree? You're asking for wealth. Yeah, it seems like you'd be a little more humble

about your situation, you know? Well, in Honduras there will be many opportunities besides just teaching language for me to grow and learn and become the man that my father would like me to be. Oh, what's your father's situation? My father's situation is he is currently in an active coma from the neck down, which doesn't mean that he... Seems like a coma would be from the neck up a lot of times.

An active coma from the neck down. Go on, be out with it, boy! Well, as it turns out, as it does turn out, my father did take it. As it turns out. So just meaning like the reality of your situation? Well, as it does turn out that over this past summer, my father did take a shallow dive and... Why are you doing the blowjob motion again? Look, no one's interested in your shallow dive, whatever you're trying to...

So I will continue to say that my father is from the neck down completely unconscious, but from the neck up he's able to speak in discipline. Okay, so he's paralyzed. Well in every sense of the word. They think he could walk again if his limbs would just wake up? Well, circumstances being what they may. All right, just speak plain English. Someone needs to teach you English.

OK, well, my father, the doctors do say that there will be a more conscious feeling in his body if all goes according to plan. So what are the plans? Well, he lives in an ice bath, and to keep his body taught, and... Uh-huh. This all makes sense. Go on.

Okay, my father has to keep his body taught. Are these medicine doctors? Doctors of medicine? We are Christian scientists, so... Oh, okay, I understand what's happening. At this juncture, the medicals... All they can really give you is ice baths? That's right.

And so my father's body is maintaining its state. Can I tell you something? Your dad was paralyzed from jumping off a diving board into a shallow pool, and you're Christian scientists, he's not going to get better unless... The ice baths are not going to work. Well it will maintain the body. At the stasis, it was am... Stop doing the hand job motion

when you say maintain the body. Alright? Ugh. Well, it's been showing signs of recovery. What signs? As of yet, my father is able to get aroused. Oh, wait, so his penis... Okay.

Marco! So, what are you doing in order to get his penis hard? That's not for me. My father does have a girlfriend who visits the stress weekly. A great amount of time. Yes. Too much to my mother's chagrin, but this girlfriend has been keeping his mind and body

active. I would imagine your mother would just like to see progress regardless of how it's... That's exactly right. The way the Christian scientist is like going like that and my mother knows that there's a new way himself. Is a mission of religion, is this a Christian science mission? Yeah, I didn't... That's right.

I'm spreading the word of the science of Christian and... Take us through Christian scientists, because what exactly do you believe in? A Christian scientist does believe at this juncture that... As it turns out... In the meantime, a Christian scientist does believe that a medical doctor is something that does go against God's plan. So as... How does he feel about adultery, because your dad has a girlfriend?

Well, according to science, that is in our human nature to not be monogamous. So, at this juncture in Christian Scientry, we do believe that affairs are not looked down on, but encouraged because it is nature of the game to want and to stray. Do you want Marco? Well, I will say, in the meantime, I do have a lady friend that is waiting for me on Honduras in the varied village that the missions. Varied?

You're talking like him now. Yes, yes. You guys are maybe made for each other. I don't know what your situa, your respective situations. You're obviously. I do have a what your respective situations, you're obviously- I do have a girlfriend waiting in a- You may be bisexual though. He's 12.

I'm a junior, I am 16 years old. He's 16, which is it? I'm 31. I don't know what your situation is. I'm a virgin. Okay, what would you, if you were to have sex? Does gender matter to you or does it just whomever you fall in love with? Gender is a construct. What matters is what the heart wants the normal heart. Okay, great.

So so you may be interested in Marco here. I ain't no sicko. He's a little boy. Well, I mean, one can emancipate oneself. I do think you would be surprised at the man's body that I do have underneath this jacket, the starter jacket. It's a starter jacket, meaning like your first jacket? No. It's the brand.

Oh, OK. It's a Houston Texan starter jacket. I know Paul said it. He was not about labels, but the starter jacket has been good luck for me from day one. OK. And so. Do you want to take off your jacket just to give us a little?

Unfortunately, at this time, I do not have a shirt underneath my jacket. Oh, well, I don't know that, you know, Maxwell would mind necessarily. Hey! Let's show us what you got. I do wanna be clear. Borrow my cape if you want.

I do have a woman that is waiting for me in hundreds, barring the fact that I do get this mission trip money. Right now, as of late, we are just in a letter correspondence, but I will show you my chest. Okay, let's see what you got. Paul, are you interested in this? Oh yeah. Okay, this summer.

You said we would be surprised, so I just wanna see if we genuinely are surprised. Maybe he's buff. I'll take my jacket off, because I will say that this summer, I did take up the art of Krav Maga, which is Israeli martial art. And I spent every morning from six until seven practicing just by myself. To me, every morning six a.m. to seven p.m. or?

That's right. Every day. Wonderful times. Every day all day. I study pictures that I found in a magazine, in the garbage, and I taught myself some Krav Maga moves, and so it is my body. This feels good to have it in the open air. I wasn't expecting so many veins outside the body. It's a little weird that you have tears, rips and tears in your muscles,

and your veins are hanging out. They're pulsating. Ah! I got to say, in all those attachments that you have, like the machinery that you have attached to all of your body. The dials. It's a little, it's like a steampunk kind of situation. Tis akin to a borg.

It's like a steampunk kind of situation. He's akin to a borg! Yeah. I gotta say, it's really, are you some sort of like half machine, half man? Well, I did preface all this by saying that I was a scientist. Christian scientist. And part of that is that you believe that the Lord has given you half human body and half robot form and so most of my muscles are wireless. They're artificial.

That is right, but I officially have them. Wait, what's the... there's a ticket in here for the steampunk convention in Honduras. Wait a minute! You're not a Christian scientist at all! You're just a lousy steampunk convention in Honduras? Wait a minute, you're not a Christian scientist at all! You're just a lousy steampunk! Excuse me, excuse me, that's my ticket and that is my property and um... Who is your girlfriend? Really? I have a girlfriend and you will meet her and we will... Why? I'm never going to the Honduras! Oh, she will come... Oh, maybe you will! She will come back with me. At this time I do have... Stella, I don't know that I'm ever gonna see you again. Well, just our luck. I do have a car waiting

outside for us. We can all head to Honduras. I don't want to go. Well, I don't know. I shouldn't say that. I like steampunk. You like steampunk, Paul? Yeah. What do you like about it? Well, like when a puff of air has an earring in its nose. Okay, I don't know that you know exactly what steampunk is! Well, I take it quite literally. I would think that the timekeeper would like steampunk because it is a lot about clocks and gadgets. There are a lot of clocks, I do like the clocks! Gizmos, machinery, gears. You're good at the cosplay.

It does just so happen that this father is the biggest steampunk convention that is happening right outside of where I'm volunteering. Oh, the volunteering wasn't a cover story. Oh, so you actually are volunteering. Well, I'm volunteering. Happy coincidence. I'm volunteering at the convention. At the convention.

Okay, I see. Oh boy. So why should we trust a lousy little steampunk like you? I bet you're not even 16 years old. Um, well, uh, in my, in my mental state, I am 16. Oh, in Lord's years, I am 13 years old. Wait, you're 13? Okay. No panties.

That's what Evan Rachel Wood said in the trailer for 13. Wait, why would you be interested in that movie? I thought it was about military time Which you don't like I was curious. Can you blame me? I searched for the quick time vial of the trailer Anything on quick time is okay. Yes, because it has the word time Well, I gotta say, Marco, this is the craziest story I've ever heard, I mean. Well, I started here as my genuine and true self, and I am gonna leave as the same person, and at the end, the only person that can judge me is science, so I do...

I have to say the chocolate is not treating you well either. You, I mean, you said we would be surprised, but I think that you were trying to brag of how great you look. Yeah, I mean, you have, like, uh, probably the fattest stomach I've ever seen. Thy nipples look like Hershey's kisses! Don't feel like you have to kiss them or eat them. This is a 13 year old boy. What's the harm? What's the harm? No, don't go. Look, and you stop making the blowjob motion.

Alright, this is not a good... I'm going to have to separate you two. At the end of the day, the heart does want what the heart does want. All right, very good. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang, we're back here. Of course, Maxwell Keeper is here with us. TikTok. TikTok, of course, and Paul Russ. Sharp sharp. Oh, you've updated your catchphrase. Oh, and maybe you have one, Marco. Be true to you. Be true to you, okay, great catchphrase. Very good, very good. And you know, we have a little more time left

in the program and it's time to do one of our, time of course, yeah, it's time for one of our favorite features on the show. It's time for a little something called Would You Rather? All right, it's time to play Would You Rather? Of course, we all know how this is played. People send us Would You Rather scenarios to our Twitter, which is at CBBWYR. And I will read them aloud.

I will open the floor for questions, and then you can ask me any question you like about either of the scenarios in order to help narrow down your choices. At a certain point, I will close the floor for questions. There will be no warning. And then we'll vote and we'll tally up the points and see who won. All straight, here we go. This comes to us from Robbie Torfson,

AKA at P William Clark. He asks, Robbie asks, "'Would you rather all your haircuts end up looking like a loaf of bread or every piece of furniture you sit on turns into wet sponges. Hmm, interesting. All right, let's open up the floor for questions. What kind of bread? What kind of bread? In which scenario? That your hair would turn into. Oh, okay. It's basically a nice San Francisco sourdough-like ball.

Scott. Yeah. What kind of sponge? In which scenario? The one with the furniture turning into a sponge. Oh, okay, great. Everything, so yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's a novelty SpongeBob SquarePants-shaped sponge

to celebrate the last movie where he comes, he's 3D in the modern world. I have a question. Okay, you don't have to announce it, you can just, yes. In the latter category... Certainly. How much time passes between sitting on the furniture and it turning to the very sponge of which you spoke. Okay. It is,

it is two hours in between that. Great amount of time. A very good amount of time. So you have time to enjoy sitting on it. A feature film, perhaps. Yes, but at the same time, it does not ever revert back to its initial state. So you have a good two hours of sitting time on this. And it suddenly switches over two hours, it morphs.

Oh, you mean like what was introduced in James Cameron's Terminator 2 Judgment Day? Yes. It suddenly turns after a two hour, 120 minutes. Another great amount of time. And a wonderful show that was a good you like that show whatever what are your favorite shows on TV 120 minutes 60 minutes sure 48 hours hours okay 24

Get good, it's going in there. Okay. All right, great. Any other questions? I know that it said that your hair would look like bread, but would it taste like bread? Great question. You know what, people just automatically would assume that it would taste like bread, wouldn't it?

Because it's like these sourdough Princess Leia just like round things. No, it tastes like hair. It looks like bread. Yeah. What's the sponge tastes like? Water. Clean?

No. Dirty dish water. It's wet sponges. I have a question. Okay, great. Are these scenarios happening because of sins we have committed? I have a question. Okay, great. Are these scenarios happening because of sins we have committed? Great question. Yes. These are punishments for carnal sins.

Oh. Sins of the body and of the flesh that you have committed. I'm in trouble. of the flesh that you have committed. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm in trouble. Okay. Got a lot of time on the clock.

Oh, TikTok. Not, you know, I said there would be no warning. It's not closing down anytime soon. I'm just enjoying this time passing with my three best friends. I don't know if that's true. In the first scenario. Sure, the hair scenario.

All your haircuts end up looking like a loaf of bread. Hair scenario. Can I go to any barber I want to? That's a great question. No, because some barbers that you want to be barbers do not exist. Some are just people you pass on the street and you say, I wish they were a barber.

Yep. And they're the feeling. They are not barbers. They have their own lives, their own jobs. So anyone you wish to be a barber is not automatically a barber. However, if a barber exists and it is legal for you to traverse and cross state lines,

which I don't know whether that is true for you. You've been to Tallahassee, but I don't know whether it is legal for you to travel, but then certainly you are allowed to go to any of those barbers. Okay, in this scenario, are you married? Or am I married? Yeah, I'm married in either of these scenarios, because I am married, yeah.

As for you, that's a different question. either of these scenarios because I am married. Yeah. As for you, that's a different question. In this sponge worthy category. Okay, fan of Seinfeld? Yes. Why? All these shows, they were all about something.

Finally, a show about nothing. Okay, I thought there'd be a time related reason, but it's just you like it for the reason everyone liked it. Well, I enjoyed the time, yes. It was odd. Wait, you enjoyed? It had a nice, I liked a half hour. Yeah, but that's almost every show here.

You're only talking about Seinfeld. I like every show equally for the same reason. So you like every TV show? I like shows based on how long they are. Well, 48 hours was an hour long. I liked it twice as much as Seinfeld. Oh, I see. What's your favorite television show of all time, then?

Mmm, the, uh, I liked that movie From Here to Eternity. You realize it was only about, hmm, 110 minutes. Oh, I. It wasn't an eternity. Crud. You know that makeout scene on the beach and from here to eternity? Sure.

Famous iconic scene. No, no, no. Uh-oh. Do we need to start the clock? Start the clock. Oh, boy. Start the clock. Good afternoon.

You know that sexy makeout scene on the beach and from here to eternity? Yeah. Uh-huh. Is it just me or is it a little weird that the woman and the man are kissing and there's sand all around them? You're telling me these two folks aren't

got in their eye on some grains of sand, wanting to have sex or kiss the sand instead. You're saying that they wanted to have sex with the sand, but ended up accidentally having sex with a human being. I believe in him, he's building to something. All right, pull it through. No, no, no, men and women shouldn't kiss, they should keep it with the sand.

Okay. Yes, yes, I enjoyed that. That doesn't make perfect sense to me. Oh my goodness, well. Wait, I had a question for real. Could you market your abilities? Could people bring you their old furniture and you sit on it and then they don't have to buy sponges?

Exactly. All they have to do is wait around in your house like for a drug deal or something, just for two hours basically. And then they get, you know, any furniture they don't want instead of putting it out on the street corner, they get a brand new sponge. Yes. Does the bread get wet?

Does the bread get wet? Of course it does, it's hair. It's not actual bread, it just looks like bread. Does the bread get wet? Of course it does! It's hair! It's not actual bread, it just looks like bread. Does the bread get wet? You have ashamed me. In the secondary sponge scenario, is there any off chance that it'll... Why are you all talking like each other now? That it'll be the band, Sponge.

The band who did the song Molly Ringwald? Yes. 16, yes. Down the drain. Are you a fan of them, Timekeeper? Mm-hmm, yes, yes. Who's your favorite band? The Rolling Stones, They're so old! But they sang Time is on... Time is on your side, yes.

Yeah, exactly. And you related to that? I did, yes. Yeah, I went to the Rolling Stones concert. They should have called it the Five Walkers Tour. You did tell that one at Tallahassee. It brought the house down. And then you just sat in silence for an hour. The way he holds onto that R at the end of tour. What was the question? T'was answered, I do best believe. Okay.

At the end of the day, is it okay to pick both? Meaning your question is about the rules of the game, whether you can pick both? When push comes to shove, would you be able to not- As it turns out? Not choose one, but- Choose the other, yeah, well? When you find the way the lady lands Can you be on loyal to both? I dare not speculate upon the answer, but I'm curious as well

Why darent you not because you are thy very expert upon this land Alright What kind of books do you read? Do you read like Hobbit books? Yes, yes, the Hobbit books I've written to continue the very adventures of Frodo. You've written? Yes, I always wondered what happened next,

and I thought, all right. What does happen next? He sails upon the sea, and he comes to the New World where he meets Pocahontas. And what do they think of each other? They think that she thinks he's a little short. Uh-huh, uh-huh, he thinks she's a little tall, but. They sing colors of the wind.

Oh, really, and you got the rights to that in your song? I'm waiting for a letter back from Disney Legal. How long ago did you send your letter? Long ago, my very brother-in-law. No, I said long ago. Not long ago. Oh, well, I said it is. I guess about, I was 23, eight years ago.

Eight years ago. Eight of the years that pass us by. The revolutions around the sun. Yes, correct. At this very meantime, eight years ago, I was five years old. Oh yes. You have a lot to talk about.

Half the dials. Okay, so, by the way, the floor is closed for questions. I'm sorry. Oh my, for questions. I'm sorry. That shocked. I'm sorry, there's no warning. You didn't have to shock us. I apologize. It was as if a fairy spider had sprung from his web. I apologize, come on guys, don't be mad.

But if there was one to sneak more in, if there was room, would you allow? To sneak another question in? No, I'm so sorry. And that was a question, by the way, so no. Oh. Ooh. All right, guys, we're gonna have to vote.

Paul Rust, comedian extraordinaire, just did one of his biggest jokes, laid it on us. Sumo wrestlers? Come on, can somebody explain this sport to me? No, no, no, start the clock. I'll start it. Clock. Good afternoon. You're telling me this wouldn't be any different Can somebody explain this sport to me? No, no, no, start the clock. Oh, start it. Clock.

Good afternoon. You're telling me this wouldn't be any different if these guys were skinny. No, it wouldn't. I mean, it would. You're telling me it would be the exact same. No, I know what I'm telling you. This is not a claim that's being made by anyone.

Every time I turn on ESPN or pick up the sports section, it always says fat or skinny it don't matter in sumo guys pick a side the whole world's a sandwich, sumo wrestlers. Stop the clock. I'm gonna be the one to stop it. All right, Paul, how are you voting? I would choose, I would, Dan rather, go. I don't know why that's a joke.

Because we were talking about 48 hours? Yep. 10 minutes ago? Yep. I would go with the sponge Yep. 10 minutes ago? Yep. I would go with the sponge option. Why is that? The sponge? Well, my hair is my hair.

What's the old poem? My hair is my hair, but my furniture is not a sponge. Not a sponge. So you want more sponges? Yes. Okay, good. All right, very good. Marco?

I do enjoy the texture of a sponge, but at the end of the day, I do very much more appreciate the way a bun of bread looks. So I would go with a haircut bread. Haircut bread, okay. When I was growing up up my grandmother and grandfather their houses upholstered with entire sponge and So at the end of the day with an entire sponge Wow One could afford a whole one coincidence

My grandparents have one one sponge and I will never forget the way that it's melt and for that reason, bird hair. Bread hair, not bird hair. No, no, I'm sorry, I did say bird hair. And I'm sorry. It's okay, you don't have to apologize. May I say bird hair as an answer? I will allow it. So you want, well, what is it you're asking for? Exactly?

Every time you get a haircut, what happens? At this juncture, I do wish to have a bird's hair. So you don't want a hair that looks like a bird. You want hair from a bird. I'm according to the Lord. I suppose I would refer to it as a feather. But if you are giving me a third option, I'm gonna go with bird hair.

Okay, great. So one for sponges, one for bird hair. Maxwell, how are you voting? Tick tock, tick tock. Yes, we're waiting for your answer, if that's what your journal says. You may have noticed, or perhaps not, that I left a series of clues, like breadcrumbs

leading Hansel and Gretel to the witch's lair. My goodness, I didn't notice. What are these clues? I only asked questions about one category, the sponge, because I knew from the beginning I'm picking sponge. Okay. Why? So many subtle clues.

Why are you picking? Did you pick up on them? Why are you picking the sponge? Because I want to make money with the sponge. The sponge selling scheme. I've concocted it. A way you drive up, you just hand it off out of your car, you come back two hours later oh okay go get a burger for two hours yes two hours a wonderful amount

of time to do with what you will okay all right interesting all right so I agree we have two for the sponge and we have one for Bird. A two foot sponge, three foot. Okay, alright. Paul, I didn't know you were a singer as well as being a great comedian. Alright, alright. I know that your Elvis impersonation is a big part of your act. I close with it. I know, it's just that. Very good.

What's weird is I forgot- I close and I middle with it. I forgot that your impression just relies on you saying a two for the sponge, which is ironic that I said it here. I was just waiting in the wings, hoping two people would vote for that option. Oh, so you can say two for the sponge. All right, so we have two for the sponge.

A two for the sponge. All right, OK. That's my fault. I fell into that one. One for the bread. Well, the bird. Three my daughter married. Who? bird three my daughter married I remember hearing so much laughter after that joke and now he was him laughing into the mic I thought all of Seminole Stadium was laughing.

Oh, is that what you played? Seminole Stadium? Wow, that's a big venue. And it says that they keep the name. Why would they change it? The PC Thought Police. Okay. Well, let's tally at the points.

Obviously, you guys pick the sponge that gets you one point. Yes. And Marco, you picked bird hair, which there wasn't an assigned number of points for that. So I'm going to have to go into my little computer here and the randomizer. And oh my gosh, two points for bird hair. You are the winner, Marco.

Yay. I'm not in it for the points, but I will accept the victory. And you're, you know what? There is a cash prize today, $6,000. Oh, my. You're going to the Honduras, my friend. At this time, I just cannot be more thankful

because I will be able to see my girlfriend who does exist and I would like to bring one friend with me. Oh, okay, do you get to pick, or do we have to fight amongst each other, and whoever lives wins? If you, all three of you are interested, I would be more than flattered, but my heart does draw me towards Paul.

Why? She wants to remember what I say. His off putting and aggressive nature. That's how we play Would You Rather. This is textbook. My goodness. So you guys are going to go, Paul? I think that mission is possible. Ghost protocol.

Yeah, as long as there's ghosts there. If you're really doing it the opposite of mission Impossible, I guess it would be a live person. Old yes-yes. Okay. Well guys, we just have one last feature on the show. That's a little something called Plugs. Well guys, you know, we're just about out of time. a little something called PLEW! PLEW! PLEW! BUGS!

BUGS! BUGS! BUGS! BUGS! BUGS! BUGS! PLEW! PLEW! PLEW! Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.

Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.

Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.

Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. All right, I love it, but we're out of time to listen to that. Make them shorter, everyone. That was great. Loved it, but a little shorter.

That was Plickety Plugs by David Is a Girl's Name. Thank you so much, David Is a Girl's Name, if you have a plugs theme. A shorter one, possibly? What did you think? Was it too long? Nothing can be too long or too short. Both are very good amounts of time. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Okay.

Send it over to the EWOLF message boards, we'll put it up. And, guys, what are we plugging here? Let's start with Marco. When are you taking your trip to the Honduras? The trip to Honduras will happen next month. I will let Paul know the details. In the meantime, I sell refurbished guitars on eBay at face value, and I play basketball

in a hoopless park in midtown. Your voice is very interestingly cracking. I don't love saying goodbye. Okay. By the way, the fact that you get to take one person, what if you just raised $1,500 instead of the $3,000? There have been a lot of questions about money today that have made me uncomfortable because talking about money is one of the most ugly things that we as humans do.

I apologize. I apologize. I apologize. Okay. Paul, you out there hitting the pavement? Yeah, I'm going on a tour with Bill Maher. Really? Yeah, we're doing the New Rules, New No-Nos Tour.

So competing? Who gets to use the song? Do you alternate? We layer them on top of each other. His starts are just a couple seconds after mine, so it's more... It's like a row, row, row your boat kind of in the round? It's kind of like a row row row your boat kind of in the round like a row row row your boat in the round uh-huh is it like the Sammy Hagar David Lee Roth tour where you're alternating who opens who closes yeah I mean people knew that we had a beef for a while because he stole new rules for my new no-no someone Someone say perfected. Well, yeah, his producers might say that over at Hobo.

Mm, meow. Think about it. Yes. Start the clock. Oh, okay, we're starting the clock again. Good afternoon. Yeah, there's an H, and there's a B, and there's an O, but what if you duplicated that O

and put it between the H and the B? I think you might have a word, hobo. New Dodo, when you're watching True Detective Season Two, you're watching a homeless man. Okay, stop the clock. Okay. I would have figured the, in hobo, the O between the H and the B was just the O from home. But no, he took the office and duplicated it. Duplicated it. And put it back. Yeah, okay.

Interesting. Interesting, yeah. All right, so what are these dates? So yeah, we're going on that tour. No dates, but we have the tour set up. Okay, good. All right, Maxwell? I just want people to fund my app, and if someone knows how to start a Indiegogo or a GoFundMe or any of these things and could raise the money, and I don't know how much I need or how much a computer programmer charges and all of that. But if people could figure that out, I would love it. Okay.

And how do they send this to you? They just call up Longos? Call up Longo Watch Repair in Tallahassee, Florida. Okay. Anything you want to say to your sister or your brother-in-law, they may be listening to this. I love you. We don't say that enough to the people we care about.

I need to say it to one more person. You need to say it to one more person? And what will happen? Well, my heart will open. Okay, who is this person that you're? You, Scott. Oh! I love you! You know what, who is this person that you're... You, Scott. Oh! I love you!
