Starting point is 00:02:04 Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Ah, yes, thank you to eat your fart out for that wonderful catchphrase, submission, eat your fart out. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week, week or episode at least, 800 of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. Welcome. My name is Scott Ackerman. We have a great show coming up a little later.
Starting point is 00:02:25 we have a person in the, I guess in the entertainment industry, and then a person in a different industry in the music industry. We'll be here. But first let's get to our guest of honor. He has been on the show ever since the days back in the beginning. Very first year, 2009, I believe. And look at us, episode 800 now. You know him as he was in The Dictator.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And... Nothing. I'm struggling to think of it. Oh, no, that Mark Wahlberg movie. Oh, infinite. Of course. Of course. Which you can see if you...
Starting point is 00:03:05 Which you can stream on Paramount Plus. What do you have to look up? Do you have to like go through several layers until you get to the heart of the matrix in order to find it on Paramount Plus now? Absolutely. You have to dig so deep. There's so many submenus. It's in dystopic, futuristic.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Or you can just keyword search my character name, The Artist. The artistin, of course. Welcome back, Jason Manzoukis. Hello, Jason. Scott, 800 episodes. 800. And you don't look at Day Under 799. Come on.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Oh, my goodness. I'm trying to think of anything else that has 800 of itself. Yeah, right? You would think that most people... What was that show? The 500? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Yeah, that only had 500. I don't even think they got to 500. Yep. The reality is, like, is 800 too many? Probably, yeah. I mean, if you really want to go back and just like, you know, prune the episodes, I would say we have a good... What are... This is a great question, actually, because I talk to people so often about the podcast and about, like, what an incredible...
Starting point is 00:04:08 About this one? Yeah. Keep my podcast name out of your motherfucking mouth. Wow. By the way, last night was Oscars Night to Shine the... Oh, boy. Of the 12 days of Oscars. And we all know what happened.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Boy, wow. Could you believe all the, everything that happened last night? I can't believe how many people they forgot in the in memoriam. And this year, they added a bunch of still living people. It was so weird. They were like, we think this year maybe? Yeah. Probably.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I think. That would be good. I feel like the in memoriam. Get ahead of it. The in memoriam needs a coming soon. Yes. The coming attractions. The trailers.
Starting point is 00:04:48 The trailers before. In 2024. 2023 sees the drop up. It would be interesting to see how many of they got right. It was like because, you know, that's what the original Deadpool is. Yes, a dead pool. Yes, a pool of like who's going to die this year. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:07 But what I was going to ask you is just because I hope Deadpool never dies. He can't. He has that healing factor. That's right. What I'm curious about is because I struggle with this a little bit when I'm talking to people about the podcast and advocating on its behalf. What are your top 200 episodes? I don't have the top 200 episodes.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Like, what are the top 200 for you? I have like five that I look back fondly on. Where I'm like, I can listen to that again. Do you think you could, do you think you could right now just name the names and guests of 200 of the 800 episodes? Of course not. I had, I'm trying to think of like who was even on last week. I know, right? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I don't give a shit. But, hey, we love that the fans keep track. of this stuff. Oh, we love that these fucking idiots keep listening to this garbage. We'll keep pushing it to you. Get ready for the book. You have your own podcast. Do you like any of those?
Starting point is 00:06:07 No. Would you ever listen to one for pleasure? It's a brazen cash grab just like this turkey. Well, this is a BCB, brazen cash. Oh, no. It's a BCG. BCG. I thought it was a big. Big chunky bubbles, was that what I was trying to.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I was going to say it's a BCB like a big chunky bubbles. Well, I mean, you could have a BCBBCG. That's right. Well, of course we would. But Jason, you're here. It's episode 800. Again, I'm trying to think of anything else that has 800 of it. Can you think of anything?
Starting point is 00:06:42 I guess episodes of 60 minutes. Sure. No. There can't be 860 minutes episodes. Yeah, there has to be. Really? How long has 60 minutes been around? Like 40 years?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Doesn't it? I mean, does it come out every week? I mean, no, they take, I mean, they take summers off. How many? I'm going to look at just out. I'm going to look at 60 minutes. I'm going to see. You think there's let there is not, there are 55 seasons. Of how many episodes each, three? You think they're only doing four episodes? It's like Luther. It's like Luther. There's only three. Yes. They've done 55 seasons of probably, I would say. How many? Probably 30 apiece. 30. 30.
Starting point is 00:07:24 season. Okay. That's a lot. It is, but is it 800. Yes. I'm looking up 60 minutes episodes. Yeah. And all I'm getting is season 55 has 24 so far.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Oh, wow. David Byrne is being interviewed on. Okay. Great. Just in time. Oh, thank God. In memoriam coming soon. He's talking about speaking in time.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Anyway, but it's quite. an accomplishment if I do say so myself. It really is. Something to be celebrated, even if you can't speak positively about any of the past episodes whatsoever. That's right. This is the one you should be paying attention to. The rest, don't even bother going back.
Starting point is 00:08:06 But this is the one we should be paying attention. This is, here's what I will say. I feel confident in saying this is the jumping on point. This is where, this is finally where it crystallizes. And we're like, oh, they finally figured out what they were doing. The first 800 kind of just table setting. and warm up. It's everybody figuring their thing out. It's basically like the first season of Tulsa King. Oh, that's right. We talked about Tulsa King, Tulsa King last week. But it's basically
Starting point is 00:08:34 the first season of Tulsa King where it's like, get him to Tulsa, meet his friends. Yeah. It's like episode one of season three of the Mandalorian. Yes. It's like, remember Bocahant is here. Remember Grogu? You like Grogu. Remember Grogo. Do you remember? I finally got you to sing on the show. I really appreciate it. That's the one exception. I will only sing about Grogu.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Will you do Grogu parody songs? Can we expect an album of Grogu Parity songs? I have some incredible news. What's that? I have some incredible news. Okay. How many episodes of 60 minutes do you think they're having? Okay, I'm going to guess.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I have a little dry race. Did you look it up when you were on your phone earlier? No. No. So there's, but I will say there's 55 seasons. I'm going to say they do 40. Anybody else would like to just chime in there. They're more than welcome for a brief moment.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So I'm going to say 2,200. Okay. 2,500 episodes of 60 minutes. So you're close. Yeah, I was, Price is Right Rules. I'm right there. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I'm going to say one episode. Jimmy! Jimmy! Hey. You still are I say one episode? I heard her price is right. And I just handed your pen. So you're saying one episodes in case we all went over?
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yeah, exactly. you should have gone first. Holy shit. Wow. Jimmy, it's great to see you again. Yeah, got to go. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And he is gone. He's gone. Man, he moves so quickly. The guy's quick. He's slippery as an eel. It's like, it's like Tron. He's on like a light cycle. He just loses at all right angles.
Starting point is 00:10:13 He's out of it. You excited about the neutron? Dance. They're neutron dance, baby. Pointer sisters. Let's do this. Sorry to pause. In between.
Starting point is 00:10:24 between my sentence. No, no, you noticed, I waited. Yes, thank you. For you, because I knew you were going to the Neutron dance. That would be so amazing to have the Neutron movie, have the Neutron dance be the first thing that pops up. It's like, I'm so crazy doing the Neutron. And then they mute the Pointer Sisters.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Everyone's like, yes, they finally got it. I am. Is my answer. I am excited for the Neutron. Can't wait. Can't wait. Cannot wait. Both Tron's such exciting movies.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Oh. But well, I will say, like, thank God that it's, I guess now it's IP. Now, Tron is IP. What were you going to say thank God for? I was going to say, thank God. It's not based on like, come on. It's like a, no, it's not an original idea. You're like, thank God, Tron is an original idea that doesn't exist yet.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It's Tron. That thinks it's been around since 84. I wasted so many days away. I wasted them away again in Margaritaville. No, I wasted so much time playing the Tron. arcade game. And it was impossible. I loved it. I loved it, though. Same. I would waste all my
Starting point is 00:11:29 paper route, quarters. Yeah, give it to me. And every month when I would have to pay the Orange County Register, like the money for the papers, I'd be like, I don't have enough. I played Tron too much. I was the opposite. I was, I mean, not the opposite in that sense, but I was so uncomfortable with the part of the paper route that was collecting the money from the people. So you had a paper route, too. Which paper did you do?
Starting point is 00:11:52 The daily evening. item from Lynn, Massachusetts. Wow. And it was an afternoon paper. They could have just called it the evening item. Like we get it. It's daily. I guess you're right, you know? I guess, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Plus day and then evening. It's like I'm confused already. I might be wrong. Maybe it was just called the daily item. Maybe I'm in evening. Oh, okay. But you did it. You delivered an afternoon paper. As was my.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I did it after school. Yes. But I was so uncomfortable and maybe not shy, but just uncomfortable. Collecting? Collecting. Yeah. That I wouldn't. And that was from editing.
Starting point is 00:12:23 them everybody. And I, and I would, if people canceled, I would forget to cancel it with the paper. And so I'd be supposedly, I'd be paying extra for their subscriptions for months. Yes. They should not be 12 year olds in charge of money like this. The neighbors would call my parents to be like, we have to pay Jason for the papers. Like, this is, we haven't paid him in a month or whatever. And you're just a little shy boy. I just was so uncomfortable with it. I wonder if any of those neighbors have tracked you from then until now and are like, Who is this animal? What's wrong with this kid?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Well, episode 800. By the way, if you're listening, send us anything else that has 800 of it. I wonder there must be 800 Simpsons episodes, right? No way. I bet there is number of... I'm just kidding. I bet you're right on that.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh! 743. Whoa! We beat the Simpsons. This show is more by the or significant than The Simpsons by far. More influential? More influential.
Starting point is 00:13:27 They're going to stop saying Simpsons did it and start saying Comedy Bang Bang did it. You know, and that's the reality is so many. There is a Simpsons episode coming up where they say Comedy Bang Bang did it. Why haven't I been on The Simpsons? Why hasn't Comedy Bang Bang been featured on the Simpsons? Yeah, why haven't you been on the Simpsons?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Never been on the Simpsons. Why haven't we been on the Simpsons? Doe Boys were on the Simpsons. Fucking Doe Boys? God damn, Doe Boys. We're talking spoon man and burger boys? By the way, I'll be on doughboys in a few weeks. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Yeah. But fucking dough boys? But fucking dough boys? Fucking dough boys are on the fucking Simpsons. What is Simpsons? What is there? A pizzeria Regina in Springfield? You know it's...
Starting point is 00:14:10 Shit, Mitch. You know it's just because of the dough thing that Homer says. And they're like, oh, wouldn't it be so funny if Homer was like, Doe boys? And, you know, they're tied to the Simpsons because Mitch worked there. Mitch worked there. It's been on and it's a whole thing. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I've known Selman longer. God damn it. I don't know Selman at all. But I'm not on the show. But you are on Star Trek Prodigy, of course. You play whatever scumbag character. Jankum Pog. Jankham Pog.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Good old Jankham Pog, a tellerite. A 16-year-old tellerite. Just another one of my deeply researched teenage characters that I play. Do you pay attention to the scripts when you're doing stuff like this? or is it all just gobbledygook and the show comes out and you're like, oh, that's what I was saying? Wait, do you mean like Star Trek stuff?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Like the specific Star Trek like lore? Like, do you read the script, the whole script? And nothing about the truth? I can't handle the script. You know what I mean? Because I was doing a cartoon the other day coming out, I recorded it six months ago. Okay, what's the car? Can you say?
Starting point is 00:15:13 I don't want to say at this point, but I recorded it. Can you say it to us and bleep it? No. We're out of bleeps. But, um, oops, all bleeps is the app I thought we were doing. But, uh, I recorded six months ago, and I didn't know what the fuck I was saying. Oh, I was like, why am I saying any of this stuff? What is it? They sent me the animatic the other day because I had to come in and do pickups.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And I was like, oh, I see. I understand what's happening now. Did you then have to redo it because. No, no. I was so good. Yeah. So, I mean, yes, sometimes I read the whole thing because some shows that I do, there's a table read of the full script. Really? So you really have a complete understanding of what it is. But then some, to your point, are just, I'll get like two pages of just my lines.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And I'll do three each of my lines. And then it's, then it's kind of out of context. When that happens and you're just like, oh, I'm just going to read these lines and not even know what I'm saying. It's like, acting is easy. Yeah. Why are we pretending it's not? No, no, no. Well, that's why the only people who will give actors awards are other actors.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Exactly. The SAG Awards. You know, it's not like. Oh, thank you other actors. You wish you were getting this yourself, I bet. It's not like there's a Nobel Prize for acting or a MacArthur Genius Grand for acting. The only people who will give actors awards are other fucking actors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:26 That's the deal. Boom. Stupid fucking idiots. Idiots. These fucking in not just end the writers. And the writers. Everyone in show business is terrible other than podcasting. And well, but I mean, like, isn't the podcast awards just the same exact?
Starting point is 00:16:39 They keep every year they come up with the new podcast awards because they're like, we should be the podcast awards. And then they're competing podcast awards. Oh, yeah. Every year they come up with a new one. I think I thought every time they were the same one. They should be. It should just be the Grammys. Like, let the Grammys take over for the podcast awards.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You know what I mean? You mean there should be a podcast Grammy? No, yes, exactly. Okay. Grammys should take over for, because it's a recorded video. For fuck sake, anyway. I'm long past being nominated for any of these because episode 800. We're no longer fresh.
Starting point is 00:17:10 We're no longer new. This is the jumping on. This is the one that gets the awards. You know what? Why don't you make this episode one? Why don't you do 52? Yes, we should do, we should Star Wars this, where it's like, yep, we've done the 800 episodes and minutes.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Everything has been the prequel. Sorry not mentioned Star Wars. Hey, we're talking about me being on Star Trek Prodigy, so no Star Wars talk. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Although, you did mention the Mandalorian and you sang. What are your Grogu parody songs? Whoa, what are my Grogu parody songs? Yeah, if you could do any Grogu parody songs.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Where are you going? What? You just wanted that door to be closed? No, there's an echo of that door. Oh, I see. I got it. We're back. We're back.
Starting point is 00:17:56 We just stopped down for about six hours. We stopped out to do some handyman work at the house. Had to fix a hinge. You're on hinge. I am. We had to fix Scott's hinge profile. Hey, Shimmy. Oh, Shimmy was in that room.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, shit. Open it up again, LeBron. What's going out? Shimmy, sorry. In her out. Jimmy. Well, I guess I'll just stay here. Okay. Yeah, no problem. Bye. Bye. Got to stay. Good guy. Such a good guy. Well, Jason, we have to get to our next guest, if that's okay. I would love nothing more, Scott, but truly, congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you for being there since the
Starting point is 00:18:37 beginning. I really appreciate your support. It makes me full of such gratitude and honor that I was at the radio station. Our very first recording, a ship called Hope. You were there. I was there in the room. Where it happens. That's right. You're big Hamilton fan. I know that.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Speaking of Hamilton, Lynn Manuel Miranda, did a introduction for the Comedy Bang Bang Book. Oh, nice. Coming out in a few weeks. So I have a copy of it right here. I've been leafing through it and it looks fantastic. Yes, very excited. I'm a fan of most of the people in the book.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Okay, just let me know on Mike. You're not a fan. What I'd love to do is take a Sharpie and just cross out a bunch of pages. Okay, sure. Just rip them out. Oh, yeah, I'll rip them out. And if the publishers can go ahead and do that with every copy, that'd be great. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:24 No problem. All right. Well, we need to get to our next guest. He is, I'm wondering if you've ever met this guy. He is, I think he's been on the show like once before, I think. And I'm not sure if you were there when he was on. But he is what's known as a royal one. watcher. Oh, Scott, I've definitely met this guy. You've met this guy? Oh, yeah. In a previous episode or off
Starting point is 00:19:50 I've met this guy so many times. Some people might say they're not interested in me talking to this guy anymore. Ah, the fan. Uh, but. The fan, singular. Uh, the fan. Are you talking about the Robert Deerey? Wesley Seibs? Yeah. Yes. You want to, you want in on this? I mean, yeah. Sorry, you got to stay. All right. Let's bring him on. He is a royal watcher. He closely watches the royal family, the monarchy there in England.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Please welcome back to the show, Byron Deniston. Thank you. It's wonderful to be here. Byron, great to see you. Nice to meet you again. I'm very interested in speaking with you. I don't care. Anyone's interested in listening at all.
Starting point is 00:20:40 But I'm glad to be here and glad to talk to you. I don't care about the other people because I'll be honest, never before I feel in my lifetime, have the Royals been so prominently featured in pop culture? It's extraordinary. What a time to be watching the Royals. Yes, yes. What a time to be staring at them all the time as I do. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's a wonderful time. You were on the show before and you've talked about, you were on the show before. I believe I've been on this show before. Right. And we've talked about how you, there is, it's sort of a cottage industry, royal watching out there in England. You do it a little bit differently. Well, I suppose, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I would say I do it a bit better than most, you know, most sort of rely on friends of friends as sources and whatnot. And I'm more of a direct source. I find my way into the lives of the royals. Yeah, what's interesting about you, Byron, and you've profiled it, we've talked to you many times as we profiled you in the past. But you are an immersive royal watching. Oh, that's a good way of pushing it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 You're not out watching from the scrum from the street. No. You are undercover. You are Donnie Brascoe yourself inside of these royals. Was Donnie Brascoe undercover or was he the guy, was he the guy that was looking at the people who are undercover going, are you undercover? Sorry, wait a minute. Go again. Do it again.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Was he the guy who goes undercover? Do it his dialogue. I liked when you did his dialogue. Or is he the guy going like, are you undercover? Are you undercover? Are you undercover? Or, hey, I'm undercover. the latter those are the two choices
Starting point is 00:22:15 you're either hey Donnie we need you to go into I'm undercover scenario not a are you undercover are you thinking of a departed scenario that's more of a are you undercover scenario I guess and I'm under cover
Starting point is 00:22:31 that movie was too many things yeah can I ask a question yeah shimmy what's up I mean what's the people say to Donnie Brasco in to ask if people are undercover, wouldn't they already know who's undercover? I can't hear you. Come in here. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:48 All right. Sheming, what was your question? Yes, Mike. Wouldn't the people who are sending Donnie Brascoe in to find out if people are under cover, wouldn't they already know who's undercover? I'm not saying. Like you say, forget. No, I'm saying is Donnie Brascoe, the guy going, I'm undercover or is he the mob boss going,
Starting point is 00:23:06 like, are you undercover or are you undercover? Oh, you know what I mean? You know what I said. Yes. I'm wondering if he's the mod boss. He's not a job to ask people if they're undercover. Yeah. Is he Jack Nicholson or is he?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Wait, you think Jack Nicholson is in Donnie Brasso? No, I'm saying in the departed analogy. Also, who is he telling? I'm undercover. I guess whoever is asking, are you undercover? The film is called Donnie Brasco. Who is Johnny Brascoe in Donny Brasco? Is he the undercover person or the guy undercover or is he the guy going to?
Starting point is 00:23:36 You undercover? Donnie Brasco is in the movie saying, With everything but words, I'm undercover. Okay. So, body language? All of his actions, all of his everything is, I'm undercover. These mob guys got to read like body language. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:51 They should take courses. El Pacino is the low level. Oh, that's right. That's right. That's, I remember this movie now. Yeah. The undercover? Good stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Am I undercover? Are you undercover? No. Of course not. Wait, are you? For real, you have to answer. Correct. Truthfully, are you under an undercover cop?
Starting point is 00:24:09 See, that's the thing. You know that? to take on the criminal element of podcasting. You know the whole thing of like if you're a cop you have to tell? Of course. Why don't they ever bring that up in these undercover mob movies? Yeah. From what I understand, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:24:22 What's that by the way? Apparently that's, I think that's just in the UK. Yeah, that's in the UK. Those are Bobby's. Yeah. Yes, if you ask a Bobby, are you a Bobby? They're allowed to say no.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Like if he puts a regular hat on over his big tall helmet. No, no, no. You're only allowed to deny it if you are dressed as a Bobby. How many times? three. Three times denials. Peter denied our Lord? Indeed. And then you must tell the truth. Okay, Shimmie, thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And it got religious? Jimmy got out of here. He's got to go ask for forgiveness. Do you think that is he religious? I'm not, he's either religious or he hates religion. I can't quite tell. I feel like if he hated and he'd have a lot to say. I don't know that we'll ever find out.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Byron, welcome back to the show. Wonderful to be here. What a time to be watching the Royals. Big news today, you know. Archie and Lilibet have been styled as Prince and Princess. It happens. It happened. I heard about that.
Starting point is 00:25:17 That's Harry and Megan's kids, right? Yes. The Sussexes. They finally are not denigrated. What's the word I'm looking for? They're, they're... You're talking about the denigration of their children? No.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Those children have been denigrated enough. I think so. Quite frankly. They've been delineated, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. as prince and princess. Designated? Designated? Yeah, that's probably...
Starting point is 00:25:43 Departed? No, not the department. Internal affairs? Infernal affairs? Infernal affairs. Differentated? No, no, no. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:25:51 All I gotta say is you talk on Mike 800 episodes in a row and see if anything you say makes sense after a while. That's your excuse? Yes. You've had too much practice? Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:01 All right. Hello, Malcolm Gladwell? You're bullshit. I'm not up to 10,000 hours. 10,000 hours? 800 episodes at maybe 90 minutes per. I'm only at 1,000 hours at this point. I need to do another.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Wow. You all know Beatles of England. Yes? You guys know the Beatles? Yeah, European rock group. Yeah. Not just European, but British, in fact. Oh, that's part of Europe, though.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Oh, Sydney. It was free up in Germany. Well, I spent time. I haven't. No, hardly. No, not at all. Never. No.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Really quite British. But yes, not only that. not only are Archie and a little bit Prince and Princess now. Why, thank you. I just tipped Byron. Am I supposed to tip you? I never know what the rules of tipping are. No, no, we don't really do it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 No, my service is included. Can I have it back then? All right. Is the VAT included on this appearing? Yes. Are you supposed to just take the credit card thing from me and put in all the stuff? I beg your pardon? I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I know. I know, but every country does. I know. now to the table. You have to in Canada. And they stand there, but here, too, they do it everywhere. They stand there holding it or with you, like, just watching. Yeah. Oh, yes. That really... Only you should ask you if you want to add a chip.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yeah. And then you have to decide, right? I just mind. I just mind the kind of looming pressure. Yeah. Let me, let me do it. Let me figure out the math on my own. Let me use my fingers. I got to use my fingers. I don't want you watching me. Interesting. You don't like anyone watching you when you use your fingers? No, no, no, no. Blindfolds for everyone. Okay. The moment I'm done with a meal, I expect to check. That's one thing about me at a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:27:44 The moment I put the last bite. Isn't it weird that servers in general seem to forget about you once the plates are down? Yes, they do. And then hours will go by and you'll be like trying to get their attention. I have a habit of dropping the fork very loudly on the plate after the last bite. Clank. Done! And if that isn't hint.
Starting point is 00:28:00 You throw up your hands. I'm survivor style. You stick out your tongue for inspection. Does that happen on Survivor? Yeah, when they're eating the worms and the pig guts and all that kind of stuff, the pig rectums, they always have to go like, oh, blah, blah. That's a show that's got to have, or maybe not like a, because that's like 27 seasons of that show or something. No, 44 seasons.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Is it really? Yes. Do you watch, have you watched every episode of Survivors? Yes. Wow. Yeah. I don't remember being on 44 years ago. No, it was 22 years ago.
Starting point is 00:28:33 They do two a year. No, that can't be right. Oh, okay. Sorry. The other thing, of course. So are you a bit of a Survivor watcher? A little bit, yeah. I enjoy Survivor.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Yeah, not to the extent that Adam Scott does, but where like he's sitting there in the reunion shows, like in the audience. Oh, is he really? Oh, wow. I had no idea. There are the good cameras always glimpsing like him out in the corner of the frame, you know. But you know, Survivor is not that different from the royal family when you think about it. Alliances and eliminations and whatnot. It's really got wild.
Starting point is 00:29:07 thought about this. Maybe I should start watching the, the, I was going to say Survivor. Survival Royal Edition. Oh, yeah. Yes, it really is quite a bit like that, isn't it? Well, maybe they should all be on an island. Well, Harry and Meckon seem to have been voted off the island. Well, yes, precisely.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Were they the first ones voted off? Well, you have Prince Andrew, of course. Oh, yeah, he's not coming back. I think he thought for a while he might have the immunity idol and he does. Every once in a while someone who's voted off will go to Redemption Island. There's no redemption island for Prince Andrew. Well, on the other hand, he, as you may have heard here, across the pond, old Harry and Megan have been escorted out of Frogmore Cottage. And who's living there now but Prince Andrew.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Prince Andrew is in Frogmore? Yes, Andrews in Frogmore. He said his first declaration was more frogs. Really? Yes. He was like, I want this place to be called Frogmost. It will be frog most. It will be styled as Frog Most.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And, you know, they put $3 million into renovating it in Harry. Harry and Megan did, yes, they did. And then they've been, simply their father said, well, you can't have it anymore. Can they take all the stuff they put in out? Well, that's what I understand. They're like lug in the microwaves out. I heard Prince Andrew requested that they leave all of the season posters for suits on the wall. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I understand that. And she's fine with that. Up to where she left? Yes. And then the ones with Catherine Hegel, when Catherine Hegel replaced her, true story. Half of the season five poster. I may be getting the math wrong on it. A terribly undignified process of Harry and Megan pulling out fixtures and copper pipes and what.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah, yeah. Crown molding. All the crown molding is coming with them to California. Recess lighting. Mm-hmm. Pulling it out of the ceiling. Yes. All of it.
Starting point is 00:30:51 They want all of the bits and pieces and the Carrera marble and all that. It's been terrible. I would do it themselves. Yeah. Yes. I'm on their side. Oh, you are? Regarding this issue.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I think it is terribly undignified for it for a form of. To be replaced by. Andrew, too. They've also been so removed from the royal family, so removed from all of the creature comforts and all of the support systems, I heard that they had to, like, call friends with trucks and promise them pizza to help them move all that stuff. Pizza and beer. Pizza and beer, like, that's where they're at. Yes, they had Posh and Bex and James Corden helping them move. And, cool, was James Corden dressed up like the mouse like he was in that video of him trying to promote the Cinderella thing, where you like stop traffic and waved his little bud.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yes, of course. I don't even know what that is. Oh, you got to see it. Amazing. Think how annoying moving van karaoke would be. That's what it was. Very annoying. You haul karaoke.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Just trying to execute a three-point turn in a car that you have no view of the rear. Trying to synchronize his song to the backup beeps and whatnot. How many beeps for a minute is it? Precisely. Yes. So that's. happening and then of course plans for the coronation are well underway. I'm sorry, the coronation, when is that?
Starting point is 00:32:08 May the sixth. Or as we say in England, the sixth day. Six May, 2023. So this will be the crowning of King Charles. Has he just not had the crown put on his head? What if he put it on earlier? No, he wouldn't have had access to the crown.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Why, where's the crown? Well, they keep it in the Tower of London under guard. Undergar? Wait, so they took it off. I'm sorry, I just want to know the, I want to know the, I want to know the, the details, the nuts and bolts of this, did they take it off of Elizabeth's head? Was she wearing it when she passed away?
Starting point is 00:32:41 Well, the moment she died, they had to pry it out of her fingers. Her cold dead hands? A lot like the rifle in Charlton Heston's hands? Which, from what I understand, I'm no Heston watcher, but from what I understand, they were not able to pry it.
Starting point is 00:32:54 He's very with it. He's buried with that rifle. Not for lack of trying. Wow. But they were not able to get it out. So they pried it from her hands. She was clutching into her bosom. Indeed, indeed.
Starting point is 00:33:04 And then they conducted it straight to the Tower of London. Via taxi or how did they do this? Again, it was Corden in the van. So, Gordon's just, he's on call. Well, he has a van and he sort of put it out there. Oh, okay. He has a dick of him. Yes, he's.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Demi Lovato is in the passenger seat. They grabbed it and they took it right there. Yes, yes. He's sort of. Singing songs along the way. My question is, does the crown get resized? What a good question. Yes, it does.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And unfortunately, King Charles has an enormous head. Oh, so they have to add stuff to it. He's got one of those big old heads. Absolutely. So are they adding? His head and his hands are really kind of like big and a whole situation. He will not wear the traditional gloves, Coronation Day gloves. Are they adding like gold and jewels and stuff too?
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yes, they have. What a racket. Have a big head and then they have to add jewels. I'll be honest, Byron, and speaking to you as someone who is, from the UK, I cannot understand why the people of your country allow for this family to keep all of the land and riches for themselves. What do you mean? How could you not understand it?
Starting point is 00:34:18 They are the sovereign. They are the monarch. They are genetically, you understand, blessed by God. Right. Genetically, they are perhaps the most flawed people on Earth. Oh, what do you mean? They are on the verge of implosion. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:34:35 I mean, just genetically, you have like two of the three of them are balls. They are actively melting. Well, if the rest of us do not resemble them genetically, it is we who are at fault. They are, they have royal blood, the blood, the blood of God. Did it? Was there a thing where, like, are all those stories about, like, the lady in the lake and the, and the sword and all that kind of stuff? Arthurian legend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Yeah, were they chosen by God to do this? Absolutely, yes. Yes, God himself who handled them. I just brought up God to see if Shimmy would pop up. But I guess, I guess he's anti-religious. He's really steering. In-A. N-A.
Starting point is 00:35:18 N-A. N-A? Not available. Not available. Not applicable. Okay, thank you. Not applicable. Oh, okay, got it.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I don't discuss religion. Do you know that the coronation has been given the code name of code name operation Golden Orb. Oh, wow. I used to play Golden Orb with my friends. By who? By who? Can we know that? Like the secret service? Hey, Jimmy's back.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I probably should not have revealed that. I heard code name. I got excited. That's an internal MI6, only MI6 agents and me. Well, because I say, you know, I sometimes walk around MI6 dressed as an MI6 man. Smart. Yes. How does
Starting point is 00:35:58 a MI6 man dress? Well, in a suit. and tie and wearing sort of the face of an MI6 man who has gone missing. You're talking like a Mission Impossible meets James Bond. I don't know. We had that technology where we had like fake masks. Oh, we can do face off. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's just a matter of slicing off the face of a man who's gone missing. And wearing it about him I six. How do you get by biometric scans? Do you have to wear his eyes? Do you have to wear all the... Because you collect eyes. I think we talked about it in a previous. I have lots of eyes, yes.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You were using them in the Scrooge gang heist. Correct. I can pass just about any biometric scan. Wait, so how many eyes do you have if you can pass any biometric? Here's the thing. Do you think you have more than 800 eyes? I'm sure I do. We found one.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I have eyes that can get me into any museum. Eyes that can get me into any. Wait, are there only 800 eyes in the world? Yeah, that's the thing. And you just got to cycle through? People talk about how, like, unique eyes are. but there's only 800. Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:02 And that's the thing is they're just spread out. Okay. Yes. We should use fingerprints for this. There's only 500 fingerprints. What? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:37:10 1,200 snowflakes. Anyway, not in this country. Oh, don't get triggered there. I'll say. What else is going on in the coronation? Well, you know, we don't know yet whether Harry and Megan will attend the coronation. They have been invited,
Starting point is 00:37:29 but we don't know yet whether they'll make the tribunal. trip? Oh, boy. Isn't that fascinating? It's a long trip. Do you think they should be there or that they shouldn't? Are you of the opinion that the things they've done instead should make them, should ostracize them or are you for welcoming them back to the family?
Starting point is 00:37:44 My opinion is that Harry should go and Megan should stay behind in Montecito where I'll be at that time and throw a party. Throw like a pajama party. Something like that. You know, maybe where she's in her underwear. Yes. And other girls with pillows. Get a bit loose.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Scott, what's your deal, man? I'm just saying she's going to be at home. Byron was talking about what he was hoping and you just jumped right in. Trying to get an invite, Jason. To the Megan Markle pajamas? No, to his, him watching it. Oh, I see. Like, you're fashioning some sort of porkies style.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yes. Like people type thing? Yeah. Do they have a locker room there in Montessito? Of course. Oh, so there's locker room. talk? Shows.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Steam room. Are you guys going to do a panty raid? What is this? Panty raids are fucking weird. I used to read about them. What you mean? I used to read in like as a teenager.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Panty raid weekly? No, as like books I would read. They would go, Pandy raid. We really think about it. Movies too of the time where dudes would like run up with a ladder to a college dorm. Put the ladder against the window and then run inside. And then they would like run them up a like a flagpole and stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And let me say, there are much more professional ways to go about getting your hands on the underwear of someone who's underwear. You want to have. Like what? You're not going to run them up a flagpole. You're not going to yell panty raid at the top of your lungs. I agree with that. Although I am kind of on board for running them up a flagpole. That's a flag I would salute.
Starting point is 00:39:21 All right. Well, I'll consider it. There is going to be a concert and laser light show. Would you like to hear it? Yeah, let me go. Selton John. Yes. Elton John's appearance has been...
Starting point is 00:39:30 God, this guy. He's been described as unavoidable. Because he was supposed to retire. Yes. And he's been going around on this. This is my last show ever. In this particular city. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:45 And then he does like 800 more shows. I was president when King Charles was asked his opinion of having Elton John perform. And he said, there's no point having an opinion. It will happen, won't it? Seems sort of upset. But there will also be... A performance by Eric Clapton and Van Morrison. No, good.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yes, you are kidding. Yes, they will. You are kidding. Like true modern villains? What do you mean villains? No. They're both deeply anti-vats. These are legends of classic rock and rock andro.
Starting point is 00:40:13 They're going to be premiering two new songs written for the occasion. One called you can keep your microchip, Mr. Gates. And another called I'm not sorry, I'm white. From what I'm. I understand it's going to be a 40-minute set with just those two songs who were promised a lot of stage banter. And I heard that Van Morrison is rewriting one of his songs to be blue-eyed girl.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Oh my. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed girl. Blonde-haired blue-eyed girl. Yes, yes. He's rewriting a bunch of the oldies. There will also be Morrissey, Roger Waters, and fresh out of Wandsworth Prison, Gary Glitter. So, wait, King Charles is going to pardon Gary Glitter.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Oh, you know, he was released. He was released a month ago. I did. I did read that. He was released into the care of Prince Andrew, and the two of them have just been shuttling back and forth between Bangkok and London ever since. They're all researching a book with Pete Townsend. Yes. Research. Townsend will be there, of course. The Pointer Sisters performing Neutron dance, of course. Oh, okay, great. Are they going to stop before they say dance? Probably, yes. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:41:23 That's about it. There is an effort to get some more LGBT plus. performers involved, but the king has said preferably not boy, George. But he's willing to have him there, if need be. I wonder why. I don't know. There's been some talk of having the alive members of dead or alive. Right. People who fall in that column.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Yeah. Right. That one, yes. Apparently, yes, that band cannot be booked dead or alive, as their title says. They won't have the dead one. Yeah. Interesting. Well, I mean, this is quite a celebration.
Starting point is 00:41:52 It's going to be wonderful. Are you going to be there? I will absolutely be there. Well, I'm not done yet. There's another band called Sean Anar that will. be there. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And then a band called the light fandango, no, no, no, no, no, a moody blues tribute band. Hold on, go back to, go backwards, go backwards. Yes. Say less. That, Sean Ana is going to be there?
Starting point is 00:42:13 A band called Sean Anah will be there. And you said that the light fanango is a moody blues tribute band? That's right, yes. No, not a Procal harem tribute band? Well, it doesn't really matter. So they don't even know the music that they're tributing. It's maybe not the tribute that Moody Blues would have wished for.
Starting point is 00:42:39 So they sing Brokaw harem songs as a tribute to the Moody Blues. Yes, that's what it is. They must be very honored. I hope the Moody Blues are sitting there having to listen to it too. And Eric Clapton and Van Morrison will join them for a whiter shade of pale. The Moody Blues have pitched the band some of their own songs, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You call yourself the Moody Blues tribute band. Can you play some of ours? But back up, I want to hear about Sean Anah. Sean Anah is going to be there. Yes, yes. We know who they are. Oh, you do? Well, they're an American institution here.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Oh, of course. Oh, very well. But also, Jason, I feel like we've heard, we've talked about Sean A gna on this program before. I know this is a jumping on point. We shouldn't be. discussing earlier episodes. You know what, though, that's good
Starting point is 00:43:30 because people who are jumping on now, you know, by the way, welcome. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang, episode 800. You're finally here. Slash episode one. That's right. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:41 So there is some history. I will say there's a little bit of shared history in the last 800 episodes. Yeah, Jason and I have heard about this band, Shana, not a lot, I feel like, from another guest. But we don't need to get into that. We don't need to. It's not that.
Starting point is 00:43:58 kind of show him. We don't need to summon him at all, but that's interesting. I wonder why they're performing. Well, evidently, their performance on the malt shop, malt shop memories crews fell through. Malt shop memories cruise. Are they able to get mults
Starting point is 00:44:14 on cruises these days? That may have been problems. Why? I don't know. Like, yeah, it's just the ingredients. Like, can they take them on a go? Wouldn't it all melt? Did that what's been holding your back? Wait, do you think they don't have like freezer or fridge capabilities?
Starting point is 00:44:29 I have no idea what they have on cruises. Do they have freezer capabilities? You know what? I don't know. Yeah, you have no idea. You called me on it and I immediately caved because I don't know either. I've never been on a cruise. We have no idea.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Well, this is very interesting, uh, uh, Byron. We're coming up here on a break, uh, but, uh, oh, I haven't even told you about the most excited after the break. The most exciting musical performance of the entire coordination. This is a good team. I enjoy this. So we're going to take a break. And when we come back, uh, you're going to tell us.
Starting point is 00:44:58 who the most exciting musical performance is that's going to be at the coronation. Plus, we have another guest coming up, someone who's in the music business, I guess. You really jumped up there. Music business. Episode 800 is off to a... Rollicking start.
Starting point is 00:45:16 This is where it all began. People are going to say, like, what was your introduction of the show? Episode 800, of course. Episode 800, obviously. Slash ones. Yeah, exactly. That's when I started.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Did you ever listen to any of the old ones? Not a single one. There's nothing redeeming in them at all. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more with Jason Manzoukas. We're going to have more with Byron Deniston.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Plus another special guest. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang back after this. Comedy Bang, bang, bang. We're back. Jason Manzookus is here of the daily evening item. So this is a newspaper that only had one thing in it. Yes. Every day.
Starting point is 00:45:56 One item. Here's the thing you should know. Single issue paper. We also have Byron Deniston, who is a royal watcher. He's been on the show several times before this. 800 times. I just counted. You've been on 800 times.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I have been on the show 800 times. Wouldn't surprise me. I don't pay attention. But welcome back to the show for your 800th appearance. And Byron, are you going to be at the coronation? Well, I'm not quite sure. It all depends on where Megan's going. You know, if Megan's going to the coronation,
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'll sort of pat myself into one of her chunks. You're focused on Megan. Is that pretty much? I would say yes. Because you were you were watching others, right, before this? I've watched many others. I've watched, you know, some of the lesser royals, Lady Amelia. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:43 But I just sort of ran into some trouble there. But, you know, I've watched a lot of the, I really enjoy watching the young ladies. And then, hmm. You really just came out with it. Just if you let him talk it up, you really just walks themselves. right into it. They just seem to be up to the most interesting things. And so, yes, it's really been Megan for a while now. And so I'm sort of deciding. And you have no problem with the fact that she's American. Uh, no. Somehow there's something about those eyes that just, the hypnotic.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And it's just wonderful. It's wonderful. She's a wonderful princess. Wonderful. Well, uh, incredible. Now, before the break, you said you had some exciting news about who was going to perform at the coronation. Yes. Do you know Prince Charles? He's, They do, yes. He's the guy who's going to be king. Well, he is king. I'm sorry. I misspoke. King Charles III is a tremendous fan of cats. And he of the musical, not the animals at all. Does he like the animals? I don't think so at all, no. Weird to like the musical without liking the animals.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Well, I think he feels that the musical takes the piss out of the animal a bit. I wonder if people are allergic to the musical at all. You don't also have to take the piss out of the animal. The animal will get rid of it. Yeah, yeah. Boy, we've loved it. learn that the hard way here. Oh, yeah. The Ockerman comp, yeah. Oh, my. But the composer of cats is a fellow by the name of Sir
Starting point is 00:48:05 Andrew Lloyd Weber, and he has been asked. I hate to interrupt, but he is not a sir. Oh. He's a lord. That's what I said. What did you say? No, I said Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. What? No, I said Lord. Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Oh, maybe you're confused because
Starting point is 00:48:23 maybe you said Andrew Lord Weber or something. I think you must have said, sir. But he's a lord, and he has been asked by King Charles to compose an original song for the event of the coronation. Wow, that's exciting news, I guess. For one of the cats? I don't know if it'll be, I don't know anything about it. Yeah, well it be James Corden as the cat?
Starting point is 00:48:42 But you know who I've brought along to explain it? Who? The Lord himself! Oh my gosh! Andrew Lloyd Weber! Hello, Thomas. As I live in Bree! My dear boy, how long has it been to do you?
Starting point is 00:48:56 I couldn't even tell you. I'm still talking. Oh, sorry. How long has it been since last we laid eyes upon each other? Can you say, and now I'm done after every sentence? And now I'm done. Okay, thank you so much. I couldn't even tell you at least a year or so, right?
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yes, at least a year. And now I'm done. And now I'm not done. Okay. Now you can't force it, dear boy. You cannot force it. I can't force it. Now I'm done.
Starting point is 00:49:24 You can't force it now. Now I'm done. We are reunited. And it feels so good. Now I'm talking. Okay, thank you so much. Well, it's so wonderful to see you, Lord Weber. Wonderful to see you.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And Jason Manzukas. Wow, what a delight. I don't think we've ever met, and it's an honor. Bless my, but we've met. Of course we've met, my friend. Of course we've met. Well, I mean, like, we, we hang out together. Yes, we do.
Starting point is 00:49:50 An email went around some time ago where everyone was meant to be C-C'd, but we were C-C'd. but we were C-seed, and that is how I came to have Andrew Lloyd-Web's email address. Oh. And so I email him all the time. And on this occasion... Wait, who was the... Who was sending that email?
Starting point is 00:50:05 Neil Armstrong. Neil Armstrong. Boy, astronauts. Yes. No, I know. Yeah, yeah. Yes, the American astronauts. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:14 You're American astronaut. Why are you... One of the star sailors. Why was he emailing you, if you don't mind me asking? He wanted me to write a talk about the moon. Oh, really? He accidentally. copied his entire address hit.
Starting point is 00:50:29 He was older, so, you know, it makes sense. He hit A and everything else filled in. Did you end up writing the song? Yes, I did. Wow. Can we hear a little bit? Absolutely. Open the sky, there sits an orb.
Starting point is 00:50:48 We see it every night. It looks upon us with remorse. It does not. understand our plight. The moon cries for you. The moon sheds of terror. The moon blows. It flows on a tissue.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Looking down at your fair. And then the trumpets come in. And then the saxophones. And then the cellos. And then the piccolo's. And then the mini piccolo. Wow. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I am confident and comfortable saying that's the best Andrew Lloyd ever song I've heard in 25. It's very good. Thank you. It's actually very good. It's as good as anything you wrote for Les Miserables. Which is my favorite of your musicals. My absolute favorite of all the boy better. The Biron.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Now I've grown to tolerate it. We've become because we are united in our love. for the royal family. Here, yeah. But not only did you misunderstand my rank? No, no, no, that was God, I believe.
Starting point is 00:52:02 My stature. I am a baron, Andrew Lloyd Weber, a peer of the realm. Yes. But I did not write Les Mesaireb. Oh, you must add, though,
Starting point is 00:52:13 it's so wonderful. Do you think I wrote all musicals? Do you think rent is one of mine? Didn't you write 42nd Street? But that was an accident. Oh, right. I've forgotten it. an existing musical.
Starting point is 00:52:26 You just wrote it verbatim. It was, there was some significant differences. Like, but for the most part, it was, well, it took place on 41st Street. Oh, okay. Well, and, uh, but for the most part, yes, it was identical in every single way. Did you, did you write nights and white satin? I wish. Did you write that can't heat song?
Starting point is 00:52:46 Do you know which one I'm talking about? I'm going up the country. Maybe don't you want to go. Why wasn't that guy just sick? But I did told him to sing like that. to sing like that. That does sound like a little like shimmy sings that song.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I said, sing it as though you're in a can and it's very hot. What a good idea. I also suggest that they change the name to tinned heat.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Ah, yes, of course. But, so Lord Weber, you are writing this song for the coronation. Yes, a great honor. Can it be about any subject or does it have to be
Starting point is 00:53:16 about the coronation? It must be about the coronation of his majesty King Charles III. And will this sign, forgive me, and maybe this is what...
Starting point is 00:53:24 I mean, I can go off on tangents, yes. Oh, okay. Is this song going to be sung by Elton John? Is this in conjunction with, or is this two separate things? Pardon me. Oh, wow. No, it will most decidedly not to be son by... One of the Andrew Lerbber's teeth just fell out.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Inverted, comma, Elton John. Are you still upset that Tim Rice started writing musicals with Elton John instead of you? I say, let the devil take the both. I'm so sorry. No, I mean, Tim Rice went to much success with Elton John. Yes, but he had to be around Elton John. That would be a musical I would watch, the devil taking both Tim Rice and Elton John.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Where I'd say, stick around for a year. Because I have something to debut with him. Episode 900. Really? You know how you can challenge the devil to some sort of a contest, right? Wouldn't it be something to see a songwriting contest between Tim Rice and Elton John versus the devil? Who might write a better song?
Starting point is 00:54:18 It'd be great. The devil wouldn't even need to cheat. Although I bet he would like start playing his electric. and pretend it's a fiddle. Or his violin, you know, you know, devil went down to Georgia. Well, that's what I mean is, like, suddenly he's like, oh, I'm playing my, that's exactly. Do you know the song that he went down to Georgia? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Because he starts playing, well, you tell me about it. He was, that one of yours, that's one of yours, isn't it? The devil went dead. Charles Daniels done. I guess I'm not as familiar as I thought I was with your word. The next you'll accuse me of right to take this job and then shove it by Jonathan Pitch. Oh, Mr. Of the Rhode Island.
Starting point is 00:54:57 He was recently knighted. He was recently knighted, yeah. He was originally bored in England. They'll knight anyone, it seems. You know. Yes, he was looking for a soldier's deal. He was in a bind. He was way behind.
Starting point is 00:55:09 And he was looking to make a deal. Way behind on what? Souls. Soles, like he has a quota? He's his own boss. He's his own boss. He's answering to. Don't you care about what you do?
Starting point is 00:55:20 I guess. Should the devil be any different? His pride is his workmanship. Yes, he set to go for himself. He watched something he did. Pride is a sin. That's right. And who better to proceed than the devil himself?
Starting point is 00:55:31 That's right. So it makes sense. It makes eminent sense. Yes. Anyway, he starts playing his fiddle, but it sounds like a guitar. He goes down. Yeah. He has met a time.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Johnny, the fiddle player, has only his fiddle. Sure. The devil has a fiddle where we've led to imagine sounds exactly like an electric guitar and a full backing band. Seems unfair, and yet Here's the devil. But the devil, as honorable as ever, concedes the battle and says,
Starting point is 00:56:01 yes, you have won. You objectively played better than I did. True. However, there is a sequel song. Did you know that? I didn't know that was. There's a sequel song to The Devil went down to Georgia. It's a call.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Just a few years ago, I think it's called The Devil Went Down to Georgia again. And it's, it's that simple. It's that simple. And there's a whole lot. It's a star-studded array of... Should we hear some of it? Why not?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Okay. Let's see what we got. Oh, there's an ad for Chrome. First, this is not the song. I thought it would sound a new... Country musical. You don't subscribe to it? Oh, no, you're Victroletho.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Oh, dear me. I've spilled water on things. Okay, we're almost done with the ad. There's no place like Chrome is what it says. That sounds like a song that would be played in the... It's chappie. What? There's no place like Chrome.
Starting point is 00:56:56 So the song starts in the middle. Well, it's the sequel, so you know how it's... Yeah, this is like previously on. Yeah, you don't need it. The devil went out to Georgia. Little recap. This is Johnny Cash. This is Johnny Cash.
Starting point is 00:57:11 This is Johnny Cash. In the darkest pits of hell, the devil hatched an evil plan. See that? Not so magnanimous after all. He's just a mortal man. The sin of pride, the devil cried is what we'll do you in. I thought we had to settle. I'm the best it's ever been.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Johnny did you ever know the time? I forget who plays Johnny. I was going to say, he's the young voice. All right, I can't. Launch Cohen. Someone like that. Yeah. But yeah, sequel song.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Does the devil win this time? I believe so, yes. Oh, good. He takes Johnny Cash to hell. Well, he is Johnny Cash. Yes, Johnny Cash. Yes, John. Oh, yes, is the role of seated himself.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Oh, wow. better. The man in black. That's right. So mysterious. And you know, he said he would wear black because the suffering of man was still so much with us. And until every person was free,
Starting point is 00:58:02 he would wear black. Johnny Cash said this? Yes, but I think it was because he was a little tubby. Yeah. It was sling. It was slimming. Yeah. Do you feel like John Cash would have been ideal casting
Starting point is 00:58:15 for any of the role? Johnny Dadbot is what he should have been called. Proto Dadball They should come out Borgnine in appearance. They should come out with posthumous albums just as Johnny Dadbaud
Starting point is 00:58:30 and just see what happens. You could do it with deepfakes. Just Johnny Dadbaud, you know, have him tour the whole thing. I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of a face off between Johnny Cash and Johnny Paycheck. That's right. When they swap faces?
Starting point is 00:58:44 The Johnny's swat faces. A face off? Mm. Interesting. Would you rather have a check or cash? You know. always cash holy shit
Starting point is 00:58:53 what if any plastic went up against a teddy paper Johnny credit card gets involved Eddie money Eddie money he can be involved Kevin Venmo
Starting point is 00:59:06 Jim PayPal Just Just Daniel I believe you're at a question Oh it's really It's so hard to get in the job I don't care pass it. So you're doing this, you're doing this song. Yes, it's my honor to do so.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Have you written it yet or are you still noodling on some ideas? I'm in the process of it, but you know what I'm going to do? What's that? This is a little tricky. Please cut this part out to the podcast. Sure. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that our editing machine is fixed by now.
Starting point is 00:59:40 If not, we'll figure it out. Because little Reggie Dwight is going to be there. Elton John. Now, they say that he got his name, his stage name because he was on the toilet when he thought of it. Is that true? No, but that's, I started that rumor. Oh, okay. What kind of a man names himself after toilet? We don't even use that term. That's why it seems so unbelievable. But I do it would take root here. Wow. Because Americans will
Starting point is 01:00:06 believe anything. Just like the gerbil thing with Richard, uh, gerbil. I started that with Richard Gerbil. I said, you know the chap Richard Gerbil. You know any, you know in the pretty woman? He's five gallons of fever. Sir Rod. George, you mean? The Pretty Woman poster, did you know the original thing said Richard Gerbil and they crossed out the BIL and put an E? Really? Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:31 That's so interesting. What else happened with it? That was the end of the story as far as I heard. But yeah. Any sort of changes to Julia Roberts' name? It was a doorist Julia Roberts right from this job. Okay. So, Julia Roberts Habster.
Starting point is 01:00:50 So you have some ideas for the song. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to rewrite one of my own songs. Oh, wow. You've written so many great songs. Just like Elton John did with Candle on the Wind. Exactly. He's written one song twice about two different dead people.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Yeah? So I'm going to rewrite one of mine about a living person. His majesty is the world. Is your original about a dead person? No, well, it's not. It's about a living person. Okay, so you're rewriting one song about two living. A fictional character that presumably we can assume is by now dead.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Okay. May I suggest? I have a suggestion. Well, I already have it. All right. But go ahead. But I want to see. No, go.
Starting point is 01:01:33 No, you go. No, go ahead and suggest. Shouldn't it be King Charles the third superstar? See, I wrote that with Tim Rice. Oh, okay. You're trying to get him out of. Because I will have to pay royalties for the tune. if I use that.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Right. But given how Christ. Just like weird out. He gets the rights to the melody. Oh, does he? Yes, he does. People think he doesn't,
Starting point is 01:01:56 but he does. How does he do that? He asks them, he says, may I do a song of yours? And they can say yes or no. And if they say yes, then they bargain the price.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Oh. Hmm. Are you familiar with the Culeos? Oh, yes, yes. I understand they reconcile. Yes. They have reconciled. On his death.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And now he's passed. It was a real Bill Murray Ivan Wright, not the one person I want to see. Harold Raynor. Harold Raynus, thank you. Yes. Culeo said, please. Send words to a weird owl.
Starting point is 01:02:24 I must see him. I have not long. Bring him onto my chamber. Please, Al. Bring me the weirdest of Al. Please, when Al, draw the curtains. My eyes. The light is so bright.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Tell no one what has transpired here. Take my hand, old friend. Enemies no more. As this my last hour approaches. There is nothing in my heart but love. Now there. Full reset. I'm going to...
Starting point is 01:02:58 Hey, long, man. I'm going to... I'm going to take the song, The Phantom of the Opera. Which is one of mine, Byron. That's one of yours. That's about a fictional living person we can presume is death. So Cake Boss could probably talk to him.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Who? Oh, another guy we know. All right. And so I just had the very beginning. And tell me what you think. Because if you like this, then I'll keep going. If you don't like it, it's back to the dri-ball. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:03:24 A lot of pressure. A lot of pressure on. Yes. I will retreat to my chalkboard and then take a gummy and go to sleep. Okay. Didn't realize that was part of your process. I have to use gummies now. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:03:36 What I'm more shocked by is that you still write all of your songs on a chalkboard. Well, I do automatic writing. You see, I write. Sure. I work primarily in my dreams. Oh, wow. And so the chalkboard. It's like a, it's like the Matilda chalkboard where it writes like the chalk, like you dream it and the chalkboard writes it.
Starting point is 01:03:54 No, that's magical. Oh, okay. I wish. Have you seen the Matilda musical? I have, yes. Not to talk about another musical. That's one of yours. I'll allow it.
Starting point is 01:04:03 You wrote that one, right? That's not Byron. What? I hate musicals. Truly. No offense. Andrew Leonard Weber. Most shaking.
Starting point is 01:04:12 But I've seen of your, of your work. Why is it you hate music? Of your work, I think I've only seen in theaters, Starlight Express. Oh. Maybe that's the one that turned you off of musical. And ever since then, I was like, no more musicals. But I will say, perhaps my finest. I loved Matilda the musical.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Yeah, it's fantastic. Now, why is that you believe you hate musicals? Because by the series, no one truly does. They tell themselves that. Here's what it is for me. I oftentimes find, boy, I'm enjoying this play. And then everything stops to sing a song. and it doesn't hold my interest.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Are you trying to say that the play Oklahoma would be better without the music in it? I would like it to just be the story of the people of Oklahoma. Worth a try. I put it to you. Yes. That if you were to watch the style of acting
Starting point is 01:05:02 that's in musicals, I'm interrupted by songs, you would go mad. That's the kind of acting. That's the acting that was exciting to me. That's like I'm, I based most of my work on how people, act in musicals when they're not.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Your work is the character of Jason Manzoukis. Correct. But you would not have your problem with a Lord Weber production because you don't read it. There's no dialogue in a Lord Weber production. Right into the songs. Almost an opera. So you never have a moment to say I'm enjoying this.
Starting point is 01:05:35 You're right. You're right. And that's why yours are just the greatest. Yes. There go. You are redeemed, which was all on rollers. You see, it was trains. And so all the Actors are a roller.
Starting point is 01:05:48 No, we, yeah, we understand. We understand. Yes, we understood. Yes. This was pre-rollerblades, too. Yeah. Is that what put it out of business? This is how rollerblades were invented.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Okay. I found this on the web for this is pre-larblades to waiters that would put an out business. Who's talking? Who is that? Who's this? Siri. Madam, show yourself. How is it in our head phone?
Starting point is 01:06:10 This is all going through. Look, I had a problem with this a couple of weeks ago. What is going on? Could that be the phantom et of the studio? This is. I had a problem with this a couple of weeks ago My good friend August Lidd helped me figure it out I put it on Do Not Disturb
Starting point is 01:06:23 But it still activates this woman I don't even want to say her name I wonder what we said that triggered it I don't know triggered much Siri Oh no I said it You should disable her across all devices This is like saying what's up hot dog or something Oh
Starting point is 01:06:38 I don't know Who's this photo Oh no what did I now Hey what's going on guys Oh shit Do you use that phrase the same way you use hey Siri? Oh shit, I didn't mean to do that.
Starting point is 01:06:51 What's the weather going to be tomorrow? Well, it's going to be perfect water skiing weather. Hey, hot dog. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you here. Oh, you didn't? You can stick around, though. I was right in the middle of an epic water skiing session, which is why I'm so wet. Where in my bathing trunks? Are you the hot dog?
Starting point is 01:07:07 Well, yeah. Who are you? I'm Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. I'm a songwriter after a fashion. And of course, I've heard of you because water skiing is very much a rich person's sport. Well, you need a boat. You do need a boat. And it's got to be able to get up to at least 27 miles per hour. So it's got to be a pretty good boat.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Well, blessed my bottom, such a pleasure to see you in person. It's wonderful. Yeah, it's a great good to give me and meet you. I beg your father? Have you ever written a musical about water skiing? I've tried so many times. You have? It's very difficult.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Nothing rhymes with water ski. That's the problem, right? That's exactly the problem. It's the only thing holding me back. Oh, man. Also, they won't let me flood a theater. It's also interesting. That's the biggest problem.
Starting point is 01:07:50 It's interesting you've written one about trains. Why not things that, like boats and things that move on water? Yeah, exactly. You've taken over the land. What? Why not see? Well, I was afraid I was going to change the course of mankind to watch. You know what you call, in England it's called madness glue.
Starting point is 01:08:08 But I believe here it's called crazy glue. Oh, crazy glue. Yeah, yeah. They call it madness glue. Madness glue. And it was originally created to stitch wounds on the battlefield. Right. Because it sticks better to skin than it does absolutely anything else.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Right. That's right. Well, I developed rollerblades for Sunlight Express. They didn't exist prior to the musical. Really? I thought they were on the typical skates, but they were on rollerblades. They were on prototypical rollerblades. And you yourself invented those.
Starting point is 01:08:42 That's incredible. I did. I said, these wheels, what do they are in a line? That's, I was the first person to wear rollerblades on water skis. Could you say my name backwards so I can go back? I don't think so. We have to take a break. Hot dog, you can stick around, right?
Starting point is 01:09:01 Shall I take the beginning of the song very quickly? Just the beginning. This is all I have. Okay, all right. You're sure you don't want to do it after the break because this is quite a tease? I do because it's very brief. Okay, here we go. I don't think.
Starting point is 01:09:12 They can't hold up to the screw. Happening after the break. Okay. King Charles, the king of all the British now is here. What do you think? That's all you have? I told you. Not even inside my mind.
Starting point is 01:09:29 What is the Phantom of the opera song? The Phantom of the opera is here. Oh, it is. Oh, okay. I just wanted to make sure it was. I just want to point out. What was your other guess? I didn't know if that was literally is here is the same as it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:09:43 I don't know the song. Well, he says goodbye, Eagles Rose. He says goodbye Norbert G. So I'm doing what he did. What were you going to say, Hot Dog? Right in front of his face.
Starting point is 01:09:52 I'm not mad at you. Hot Talk, what are you saying? I was just going to point out that nothing there rhymed. So you could do a musical about water skiing. You really want a musical about water skiing?
Starting point is 01:10:04 More than anything, man. Do you want water skiing needs this, man? Why wouldn't you want Sean Anana not to do that? Oh, God. That would be awesome. Hot Dog, I have some exciting news for you, by the way. I'm going to tell you after the break.
Starting point is 01:10:15 So you have to stick around, okay? And Byron, you can stick around as well? Absolutely. Oh, yes, I'm still here. Yeah. Yes, you are. We haven't talked to you in a way. That's all right.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Oh, Shimmy's still here too. Catego? Anyway, he's gone. But we will come right back. We'll be right back with Lord Jason Manzoukis. Can you stick around, please? Thank you so much. We'll be right back with more Jason Manzukas.
Starting point is 01:10:38 More Byron Deniston, more hot dog, more Lord Andrew Lloyd-Weber. Maybe Shimmy will be. You're right back with more comedy bang, make after this. Comedy Bang Bang, bang, we're back. Jason Manzuka's of The Dictator and Infinite. Also the ticking, talking man. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:10:56 John Wick 4 is coming out in a week or so. Coming out soon. Yeah. Incredible. And you're not in that. I am not in that. Right, okay. But I'm thrilled and I will be there opening night.
Starting point is 01:11:07 That's right. Which animal will be killed in this one? Oh, wait. It was dogs in the last one. I think it's dogs in all of them. Oh, dog? Oh, right, right. He cannot keep a dog.
Starting point is 01:11:16 I think he shouldn't be allowed to have a dog. I think he should be investigated the way they investigated Ellen. No, no, they've only killed the one dog. Is that what led to her downfall? Ellen just gave away some dogs. And everybody was like, no woman agency said you may not do that, Ellen. You can't give away dogs these days? No, you got to keep every dog you get?
Starting point is 01:11:37 If you become... I thought it was like, take a penny, leave a penny. If you become... Did you really think that's going? No, I think you'll be be cool. Well, it was pretty cool. Check this out.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Speaking of cool, hot dog is here. Now, hot dog, do you feel that a musical, this is based on your previous statement before we went to the break. Oh. Do you think that the first line of a musical, any line in a musical, there must be several rhymes within that line? All I'm
Starting point is 01:12:04 saying is your reason for not doing a musical about water skis and nothing rhymes with water skiing, but nothing rhymes with here. But I haven't got it. Hortingdoll. You cannot be serious. The line you just said, King Charles of England
Starting point is 01:12:17 of the Britons is here. That doesn't have a rhyme. Not yet. Oh. You're very much in the prison. But you have to, you have to project your mind into the future.
Starting point is 01:12:27 That's how a song is written. What is the second line of the Phantom of the Opera song? Inside your mind. Inside your mind. What is that rhyme with? So the Phantom of the opera is here inside your mind?
Starting point is 01:12:38 Sometimes you have to wait. Does the play take place inside one's mind? Good question. It's a good question. So when ever... You've cracked it. It's all like some sort of twisted fantasy in whose mind.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Is this a thing elsewhere? Is phantom of the opera a saint elsewhere situation? It is a figment of someone's imagination. It is the St. Elsewhere situation. It's in the right, there are clues. It's the exact same little boy. The exact same boy. Looking at a different snowing globe.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Oh, wow. With like, uh, Snow covering so much half of them. There's a snow globe that has a hideously scar man. Wow. And snow is covering half his face. He was tricking a woman into having a relationship. The Phantom of the Auburn was originally written for Harry Mandel and Ed Begley Jr.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Yes, it was. And the young Denzel Washington. They could not figure out how the phantom would inflate a surgical glove while wearing his mask. So he did that cartoon instead. Yes. And what's interesting is that he then goes on to deal or no deal with, with Megan Markle.
Starting point is 01:13:43 Yes. Wow. Circular. Oh, by the way, Byron, Dennis, is here. Wow, circular. That's what I say when I look at a circle.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Much like the surgical glove would become when Howard Mandel would inflate it with his nostrils. That's right. Byron. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:58 I want you to tell Hot Dog But isn't it funny? Yes. That's Howie Mandel is a famous phobe of germs. And yet a surgical mask
Starting point is 01:14:08 used in a most on sanitary. A surgical glove? What is more sanitary than a surgical glove? Yes. What is less sanitary than a surgical glove filled with mucus? But his own mucus. Is that any better? I don't know. I have no idea. He's making a mockery
Starting point is 01:14:27 of everything. That's my point. I would like to know if those gloves were then used in surgery or not. I understand he donated them, but I don't think he had any takers. Oh, I see. And he kept them all. All right. Very good. Does he have more than 800 of them, do you think? Oh, yes. He has to them. He gets in practice as well.
Starting point is 01:14:42 He's like Copperfield. He's got like a museum storage facility in Vegas that's just gloves. Just gloves. Archived gloves, date, show. Let me tell you. The people of England will never forgive the magician David Copperfield. Why? For taking that name from our own child.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Dickens. I see. I see interesting. You can't just go around doing that. You're right. Well, he doesn't have a lot of fans in America either because he made our statue of liberty disappeared. Oh, did he ever come back? No.
Starting point is 01:15:10 It's still gone? Really? I didn't know that. Have the French stepped up and said, we'll give you another one, but this is the final one? I don't think so. No, that'll be nice. I've water skied the Hudson all around the island. You have, and you've never come across the statue?
Starting point is 01:15:27 Never bumped into it. You know, hot dog, I'm quest. I'm wondering, have you, as a Sean Anah fan, ever investigated whether or not Chris Angel is Earth's angel? This is a good question, hot dog. I mean, because we've talked about Sean and Ah, so much. And the angels and angels coming to Earth. Earth's angel.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And Chris Angel might be the angel here just waiting to be activated. He could be mind-freaking us the whole night. It's like, holy shit. Sleeper cell. Yes. That would be huge. Huge of truth. Agreed.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Agreed. Well, Hot dog, this is what I wanted to tell you about. Our friend Byron over here. Byron, hello. Uh, Byron told us about some exciting news about the coronation. Do you know what the coronation is, Hot Dog? No. Oh, uh, there's this, uh, the monarchy.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Do you know what that is? No. Queen? May I tell him, may. Yes, yes. Do you see Hot Dogg dog? In my country, England. Oh, we have a king.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Oh. But he's not officially the king until they put the crown upon his head. Who's ruling the country, by the way. Well, Prime Minister, but let's not get it. Okay. So they put. the crown upon his head. And then his divine blood
Starting point is 01:16:44 is activated. And he comes into his full powers of divine rights. Well, put. Alar. So doesn't that sound exciting, hot dog? Really cool, yeah, man. Yeah, well,
Starting point is 01:16:57 so there's like a big, it's a ceremony, but it's almost like a, it's like a music festival. Have you ever been to a music festival? Oh, yeah, yeah. Out, you know, out in Dana Point where the battle of bands out on the barge. Exactly. Yes. So it's kind of like the Battle of the bands,
Starting point is 01:17:12 except these bands are like Elton John and Van Morrison. And a moody blues tribute band. Singing prokal harems song. That sounds amazing. That was your idea. I said, well, if we can't have both bands. Why don't we have a moody blues tribute band doing a tribute to a proklaherom in front of as the moody blues? Oh, got it.
Starting point is 01:17:36 This sounds like the malt shop memories cruise. It's like that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're able to bring malts on that? No. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:17:44 I wondered. No way, man. What do you think there's a refrigeration on a boat? I have no idea. See, this is the thing. We don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:50 You can't plug anything in there, boy. That's what I thought. Boats have had ice forever. Titanic, all of the, it's like, but it's melting at this point. It's a part of the whole boat thing. The Titanic iceberg has to have melted by now, right? Yes, into the ice that's global warming.
Starting point is 01:18:06 For the drinks. No, for the ice, it makes the ice for all the drinks on Oh, okay, but they can't, there's, but there's no false. Boats and ice are the original frenemies. So, anyway, there's this big, like, battle of the bands going on while they're putting the crown on this guy. Whoa. And one of the bands that's going to be there, Byron, you just tell him, because this is your news. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Well, it's going to be Roger Waters. Which one was in? Oh, no, no. Shana. Oh, shana. Oh, shana. Oh, no. Yeah, woe is right.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Shut on no, it's going to be playing the coronation for the king. Shit, I got to get over there. Yeah. Do you have a passport, hon, time? You don't need one if you water ski across. That's true. If you enter by water, Dolf on a boat.
Starting point is 01:18:54 There's nothing they can do. I usually just hitch up to the back of the Queen Mary and make the trip over there to England. Southampton. Sure. You go the long way. I go New York to Southampton. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Water ski the whole way, baby. Yeah. So, yeah, that's happening in May. May 6th, I think Byron. There's plenty of time to get there by way of water skiing. Yes, what I heard. And I cannot please, Hotting Dog, if this is not true, don't be angry at me.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Please don't shoot an arrow through the heart of the one who delivers the message. No, all right. I've heard it's going to be every original member of Sean Anah. Oh, no way, no way, no way, no way. It's going to be John Bowser. No way, way, no way. It's going to be dirty dad. What?
Starting point is 01:19:38 It's going to be Screamer Scott. Both guys in the go to the base suits. Bowser, there's no way they'll get Bowser back in the China. Bowser hates them, right? I mean, there's so much bad blood. How could it possibly happen? But he loves the king. Of course he does.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Because he fancy himself the king of Shadana. Well, he was. He was. And then he was violently overthrown. You could see he has some sympathy for his majesty. This is crazy. I got to get over there. I got to be a part of it.
Starting point is 01:20:08 of this, man. You have to. Do you think you'll be able to perform with them? I have to figure out a way to do it. I got to get myself on stage to perform for the king of something. I say, howdy. Would you like to be my plus one for the coronation? Whoa! This is incredible. Yeah, man. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:20:29 I'm going to bring my water skis. What's the dresser? You don't need to bring... But it's not water skisksis. You don't need to bring water it. for the most part, but it is landlocked. It's a landlocked event. So a wet suit might not work.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Yeah. Wetsuit might work with a bow tie. Sort of like that James Bond thing where he takes off the wetsuit and there's like a tuxedo underneath. But what if I arrived by way of water skiing down the Thames? Do you know, it's illegal to water ski down the Thames? Because the water is so filthy. If you were to splash any water on anyone else, it's a capital. into the fence. You'll be put to death?
Starting point is 01:21:09 No. Yes. They'll have you at the talk adult. The old Bailey. And then you go to the hangman's loose. What a way to go, though, man. And they make you drink a glass of Thames water. Oh, no. So what kills you? The hangman? The hangman just watches. The hangman just watches. Okay, the water kills you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:21:27 They make him still be there. He doesn't need to be there. It's just wasteful. It's just waiting. He's all the clock. I know. I think he gets paid by the day. And so that way, you know, he gives him something to the guy. And they still put him in the black hood, you know, with the eyes cut out of there. Yes, yes. No one has any idea what he looks like.
Starting point is 01:21:47 None whatsoever. Oh, even he has he looked like. Are they famous? Is it like the mass singer where there's famous people underneath the hangman's name? Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. One time, I remember one time hearing about an execution, it was two executions with hoods.
Starting point is 01:22:01 And I said, that's out to deck. Of course. And then it turned out too well. Yeah, really? I called it. Of course. It has been Rudy. Giuliani a time or two.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Yes, it happened. A timer two. A timer two. One time, Sarah Breitman. I couldn't say a word to anyone. Oh, your old flame, of course. I've never gotten to do it. Really?
Starting point is 01:22:18 You should. You should kill someone. I would love to. What do you mean? I mean, I mean, be the hangman or whatever. Oh, yes. I thought you meant you. I'm not saying you thought I'd never gotten to be executed, which I haven't.
Starting point is 01:22:29 And I don't wish. You should be able to execute an execution. Yes. I feel like you should. If you're a lord, you should be able to kill one person per year. Oh, it used to be that way. It used to be that way. You'd have your pick.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Yeah. You could just pick among the commoners? Well, back in the day, they'd have a peasant parade, and you'd walk through, and you'd look at someone and say, he looks disrespectful, and you'd be able to kill him. And then they would say, are you sure? This is your one. Oh. Would the peasants do the parade knowing one of them was going to be killed? Oh, yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:22:59 They knew that place back then. Right. Wow. Yes. Incredible. Well, Hot Dog, this is, I mean, quite an opportunity to be Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's plight Plus one at the coronation, I mean. And to have the opportunity to water ski down the Thames and be killed for it.
Starting point is 01:23:12 I've got to be honest. All parts of this are amazing. This is so exciting for Hot Dog, but I've got to imagine that this is eating Byron Deniston a lot. I know. I mean, that he is not invited. Oh. And Andrew Lloyd Weber just gave away his plus one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:27 To Hot Dog who just showed up. Byron, forgive me. I didn't mean to you so cruel. I'm a bit in a state of shock. I was sort of thinking maybe once the microphones were off, I might say. siddle up and say, any plans for your plus one? But it's been dispensed already. A little late.
Starting point is 01:23:43 I mean, yes, yes. Fortune favors the brave, as Matt Damon once said. Did he? Yes. About crypto. Yes. And he was dead right about it. Boy, boy, I get all my advice from him.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Those brave crypto people, they were bold enough to fool people into thinking that there was going to be a new system of money. And it worked. They're now rich with real money. Well, I'm going to have to get in there some other way, I suppose, you know. But I have a few ideas. I could go in sort of inside Elton John's piano. I say, I like that idea.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yes, yes, yes, yes. And stay in there, so that he can't play it. We just hear the dull thud of the hammers against human flesh. There's a moment in the coronation where the king is obscured from the public by a golden cloth. Yes. Anointed with an oil made of secret ingredients. The holy chrism. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:43 Really? The holy jism? Well, it's an oil made of secret ingredients that is procured behind a golden cloth. So it's no one can say. One may presume there is a healthy amount of Stephen and idiot. I mean, this is. Like the lion's sheriffs. This is mostly just, it is.
Starting point is 01:25:01 But there's also perfumed of spices. Frankencents and mer. The Colonel Sanders spice. Nine of the eleven. Oh, okay. It's the odd nine eleven. Inside job. Inside a golden clock.
Starting point is 01:25:16 That's right. The archbishop is the only one who can see behind that the golden cross. But yes, yes. But wow. Well, then that's trustworthy because they're never up to any wrongdoing. Well, Byron, maybe you could be the plus one of someone else. Like there has to be someone else coming like another royal. Like, wasn't there someone that you were very?
Starting point is 01:25:36 fond of. Or weren't you dating? Were you, yeah, weren't you dating someone? I can't remember the details. Was it Lady Amelia?
Starting point is 01:25:42 Yes, yes, yes. But I, it becomes very complicated with her, she sort of has this boyfriend, a fellow by the name of, who goes by, it goes by the gris,
Starting point is 01:25:52 and it goes, what did you say? What? Please don't mention his name. Oh. Oh. Mr. Lloyd Webb, you have dealings with this.
Starting point is 01:25:58 I'm Mr. I apologize. I know this is your friend, too. I don't know why I'm apologizing. I'm called Mr. and a dog's age. Mr. Lord Weber is your father.
Starting point is 01:26:13 Please call me Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. All right. Lord Andrew, Lord Weber. Close enough. You have dealings with this fellow? I have avoided dealings with him. He is well known in our circles.
Starting point is 01:26:26 He's a terrifying man. Awful. Isn't he awful? He's so scary. Do the gris? Yes, the gris. We've met him before. He's pretty charming, actually.
Starting point is 01:26:36 You've met the gris? Oh, yeah, we've met the gris. He's a water polo player, right? Is that what he's faithful? We met him in the truble. He's a water polo. Oh, that's right. He has defeated me in multiple duels up to now for the hand of Lady Amelia,
Starting point is 01:26:48 and it's absolutely humiliating. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, by it. It's terrible. But so for that reason alone, I really, I don't want to entangle myself with either of them anymore. I'd much rather get smuggled in in a piano. So you don't want anything to do with Lady Amelia anymore. I, of course I do, but I'm...
Starting point is 01:27:05 What is that shortling? What is that shortling? What is that? Chortling kind of. I also hear chortling. I hear a faint chortling. Down here. Down here? Is that what? Hot dog, did you say that? Did you just say down here? I don't think so. Maybe. You know what? Should we look down the hill? I guess should, I mean, right now, I've just been looking straight ahead this entire show, not even looking at any of you. Should we look? Should we turn our heads? Maybe we should look up.
Starting point is 01:27:35 No, nothing up there. You great picnic, daddy. Should we look behind us? I think we should what? I think we should look down. You think we should look down? Under the table? I think we should look under the table.
Starting point is 01:27:50 You don't think we should do all directions except down first? Just to make sure if anyone we're going to be process of elimination. Is that a time minimum for these episodes? I know there's no maximum. We just hit it. 800, episode 800, you said 800 minutes.
Starting point is 01:28:07 That's right. Yeah, we're just at the beginning. Let's look down. Oh, my God. The Gris. He thought I was a glass of water, but no. I will say I've been trying to drink out of what I now realize as the Gris the whole time. Did you get anything?
Starting point is 01:28:27 I got zero. Gris, how did you disguise yourself as a glass of water? You have the powers to do that as a water polo instructor? I was, this bloke poured me into his glass, didn't he? What? I came out through the drain. He has the power to become water. Yes.
Starting point is 01:28:43 Oh, like bristly. I could travel through any water conveyance. That's right. Like, like, like, when, like, Pennywise. Like, like Zane. Yeah. Zane and Jana. Zan and Jana.
Starting point is 01:28:54 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Interesting. You're like, you're like Pennywise. Who? Pennywise, do you ever see him down there, a little nasty looking clown? Do you mean? It, the clown.
Starting point is 01:29:05 They call him Pennywise. Not pound foolish. No. The name of the book's it. It's not Pennywise. I know. They should have called it. The movie's called it.
Starting point is 01:29:14 Every version's been called it. It's the clown. The name is it. Here's the clown. This is a clown that can go through the drain as well? Yeah, he has the powers of a water polo instructor. He lives in the drain. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:29:25 He doesn't teach anybody in water polo at all. And he's not royal at all. No, he just eats fear. Chris, what are you doing here? By the way, this is Andrew Lloyd Weber. Oh, hello, the Grizz. Oh, you guys have met. I forgot.
Starting point is 01:29:39 So, yeah, Grizz, you know, Andrew? We haven't had the pleasure. Oh, this is uncomfortable. More of a Tim Rice fan, myself. No, don't disappoint. Oh, no, Gris. I agree. He's wonderful.
Starting point is 01:29:51 He's terrific. Wow. That's not what you were saying about Tim Rice before. Al-W is cratering in front of the Grizz. Bangkok Oriental city, back of mine, getting dirty and gritty in it? Yes. That's from chess.
Starting point is 01:30:03 the musical Tim Rice wrote with the Men of Abba. Yes, I know. It's my favorite musical full time. Yeah, it's a proper musical that one. That's not what he was saying before, Gris. I have to say, I'm sorry to blow up your spot, Andrew Lloyd Weber, but you were saying that you hated Tim Rice.
Starting point is 01:30:19 And didn't you, Andrew Lloyd Weber say that you wrote Le Miserab? Oh, that was pirate. Oh, right. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah. I didn't write Le Miserables. Oh, no, no. You said that he wrote Les Miserabreux. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 01:30:33 Oh, yeah. Byron, Deniston. Oh, dear me, no, as I live and breathe. No, I've been trying to hide behind the microphones, then. It's his catchphrase. Byron Denison, as I live and breathe. You knew you had got to hear it sooner or later. Oh, listen, Chris, I don't want any trouble with you at all, all, right?
Starting point is 01:30:50 Forget it. I'm getting to the coronation another way. I have no desire to challenge you for the hand of Lady Amelia anymore. I can't stand the humiliation. I can't stand it anymore. Well, fair play, do you? Oh, really? I'm glad to hear it.
Starting point is 01:31:05 And I suppose I'll see you at the coronation. Yes. If you know where it actually is. What? Won't you take place at the Abbey and Westminster Abbey? Oh, uh, if that's what you think, then? Yeah, that's where it takes place. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Westminster Abbey. Westminster. It's taking place somewhere else. Oh, you didn't hear that from me. This is a, this is a fake coronation. Wow. Oh, my God. A decoy coronation.
Starting point is 01:31:32 coronation, decorinations. Of course, there's no wonder I know all about Operation Golden Orm. I can't believe they use that one. All right, then. Seems my only way to get there is on the arm of Lady Amelia.
Starting point is 01:31:50 Well, that's not going to be possible, boy. Oh, you don't think so. Lady Amelia's not going to the coronation. Where's she going? She's staying at home. She's going to watch these senders. Oh. Why?
Starting point is 01:32:04 She's binging it and she's almost caught up to real time. There's so much of it. Are there 800 of those? I wish she'd be done by now. Oh, there's more. Wait, though.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Does that mean you have a plus one? I do. Oh, my goodness. This would be a weird turn of events if suddenly you were Grizz's plus one. Not weird at all. I don't think. I think it'd be lovely.
Starting point is 01:32:28 What a turn up for the books. We could have put all of our past. differences aside and simply sort of attenders together. We could, I suppose. I suppose we could. Or you could tell me what it's worth to you
Starting point is 01:32:44 to go to the coronation and what shows royals at the most royal event possible. Oh my God. Even more royal than a royal wedding. A coronation? The royalist of all royal events. It's the number one royalist thing with a bullet.
Starting point is 01:33:00 The passing of the sceptre and the all There hasn't been one for what, 80, 90 years? There may not be another one for another, who know? Two years. Three months. My God, I've got to be at this one. I will say, it is crazy that Lady Amelia is almost about to finish EastEnders because they have 5,180 episodes.
Starting point is 01:33:24 I know. She's been staying up day and night. Poked to black core feet. She's been taking Fen, Fenn, I don't know where she found it. I get it. That's what I'm doing to just to finish Bosch. You've got a feeling
Starting point is 01:33:40 and you can't let go. So what's it worth to you, Byron? I mean... Yeah, Barrier. What's it worth to you? My least favorite theme song. Oh, I love it. I love the themes of...
Starting point is 01:33:51 You've got a feeling and you can't let go? Yeah. I've only watched the show perfectly. It does somehow. He loves jazz. Let's make this to theme song. How's it go? I've only watched one episode.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Play it. Yeah, play it. Theme song to Bosch? I don't understand what that is. Siri. What's that? What's that? Who said that?
Starting point is 01:34:12 And then play the sequel to the theme song to Bosch. Oh, yeah. That's even better. All right. Boss legacy. Boss legacy theme song. Here we go. Oh, no, there's a clean my Mac X ad.
Starting point is 01:34:22 First. Maybe you should pay, maybe you should pay attention to that one, mate. What? Do you not subscribe to YouTube? No, I'm going to skip ad. Okay, here we go. Theme song to Bosch. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:34:33 Oh, yeah. He loves jazz. That was in the episode I watched. This is not serious. Nice is no cold train or something. Yes. It's got a violin in it. Are there violins and jazz?
Starting point is 01:34:49 This theme and justified are the worst themes for the best show. I don't know to justify one. I like the justified one. No. Okay. I can't listen to this. It's terrible. It only needs a rat break.
Starting point is 01:35:03 It's the only thing it's this. Well, my name is boss. And I'm here to say. It's hard. Is this soft in a crash? L.A. Good dishwasher, though. You have to admit it's...
Starting point is 01:35:14 The dishwasher? The Bosch? The brand... Oh, sure. Yeah. No, but yeah, sure, by the, sure. Do you know what I call it that? Why?
Starting point is 01:35:23 Because it cleans the dishes in a flash. It says, dishes are done. Bosch. Yeah, it says... The crime is dirty dishes. Bosh solves the problem. Every time.
Starting point is 01:35:34 Every time. So, by red, dirty dishes are the disease. Byron, how do we work this out for you? Gris, what do you want? I mean, the thing is really, it's almost just worth everything. I can't think of anything
Starting point is 01:35:45 that wouldn't be worth to get to be there in the room when the golden cloth is held over the king and the Archbishop of Canterbury ejaculates him. I'd be there for absolutely... On his face?
Starting point is 01:35:56 Yes, yes. Well, Warren. What do you want? Maybe I can make a deal with you. All right. You see, I'm in a bind and I'm way behind. And I wonder,
Starting point is 01:36:07 Wait a minute. What if you were to offer me your immortal soul? Holy shit. Byron, this is reminding me of something we talked about earlier in the episode. What is that? What is this? The coronation. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:21 What? This is reminding me of the court. We're still talking about it. Oh, I'm sorry. I zoned out for a minute. Of course, he's reminded you of it. You're still talking about it? We're continuing the conversation.
Starting point is 01:36:30 Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I was zoning out. What do you say, Byron? Put it on paper. Your immortal soul belongs to the gris. Let's work this out, Jason. Let's see if he sells his soul.
Starting point is 01:36:44 To the gris. To the gris. And then Shana nah, everything in Shanaana comes true. The Earth Angel, Chris Angel ascending to the throne. Everyone gets a job. Everyone gets a job. Slaves to.
Starting point is 01:37:01 The hand jive. Everybody's doing the hand jive. The moon turns blue. Right. All of the. All of it, just pestilence, everything. Sure. So where does that then leave Byron's soul?
Starting point is 01:37:14 Well, here's my question. Up until this very moment, I have operated from the belief that Byron doesn't have a soul. Oh, interesting. God, no. You think he's just a soulless husk? That's what I feel like he's been searching for. Well, he's pathetic, but he doesn't lack of soul. All right, fine.
Starting point is 01:37:32 Okay, okay. Do you have a soul? We should just ask him. He's right here. Clearly, this is Byron's soul, not hot. dogs. Right. Yeah. Byron, you have a soul, don't you? I believe so. I don't recall ever selling it or doing anything else with it. I believe I have a soul. We used to think, in the old days, of course, all of the nobles thought that the peasants lacked souls. The commoners
Starting point is 01:37:50 were just the sort of shell. God chose the royals. Yes. And not the, the peasants. It's just not in their blood. Maybe your soul isn't worth anything, and this is a good trade. Oh, no. It's worth something to me. Oh, wow. Really? Why are you so behind, Grizz? Hmm. Yeah. What's the trouble you in? Um, it's the pool is, uh, it's got algae. Oh,
Starting point is 01:38:17 this makes sense. You need to get a... So are you just going to sell my soul on to the next buyer? Like to a pool clear? Do you do bundle all the souls together and sell them on mass? No, no, no, there's only one soul I'm interested in. Oh, yeah. And it's bar in that instance. Oh, really? Why, why?
Starting point is 01:38:34 What are you going to do with it, old Gris? Oh, would you really? like to know. I'd like to know. If not him, I would like to. Well, you know that the Royals get up to some monkey business? I guess. I don't know what you mean by that.
Starting point is 01:38:52 They're supernatural in that? Oh, sure. Divine, right? Yeah. There's a lot more going on than just God saying you can be king. Wow. Really? What is going on? Someone also gets to be the devil. What? And that's where you're head.
Starting point is 01:39:07 That's what you want. The devil also, there's divine right and there's satanic right. On the day of the coronation, the king is crowned by divine right and a new devil is crowned as well. Yes. Oh my God. And the price is just one human soul? Just one human soul. Wow.
Starting point is 01:39:25 But what becomes of me? Well, I mean, when you die, go to hell, I suppose. And you'll be in charge of hell? And is it your intention to make hell on earth? Have I talked to you about this already? No, I'm just curious. Yeah, I don't think this ever came up on any of your previous appearances. I only ask because we are also currently also talking about Earth receiving angels.
Starting point is 01:39:56 Hot dog over here. Because of Shanaana. Yeah. So we could have. Shana no. Yeah. To do what group? Yeah, they're going to be at the coordination.
Starting point is 01:40:03 Now it's going to be at the coronation, man. Oh, Ben Woodstock? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Had a brief variety show run on CVM. Not so brief, really, when you think about it. John Bowser Bowman hosted, was it 800 episodes? Oh, I'll start correcting.
Starting point is 01:40:18 John Bowser Bowman, he hosted the match game, Hollywood Squares Hour. That's right. And he's returning. He's going to be back. He's returning to the lineup. No, they got Bowser and returned to Sean on. He did. If you could believe it.
Starting point is 01:40:28 I couldn't believe it either. Dirty Dan will be there. Dirty Dan will be there. No. Both not both guys in the gold LeMay suits. Both of them. I'm starting to think that perhaps they knew that you were going to try and crown yourself the new devil. And so they brought Sean Ana.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Are they trying to intercede? Just to bring Earth Angels to do battle. Are they doing a Shanana block? Yes. Whoa. Seanana for the block. Yeah, for the block. For the block.
Starting point is 01:40:57 Not a block of Shaunaa. No, that's what I mean. Which is what I initially thought. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yes, not a BLO. It's not double shot Tuesday.
Starting point is 01:41:05 No, no. They're doing Shanaana for the block. And Shanaana is trying to get crowned as Satan. Oh, oh, man, this is crazy. Shanaana wants to be Satan. Do I have a whole group as Satan? It's ridiculous. They split up the powers of Satan between how many of them are there?
Starting point is 01:41:20 Well, particularly if Bowser's back in the group. He's just a sandman. I don't know. Well, look, let me say this. I will challenge you to a contest. of some sort. And if you win, you may have my soul. You've already challenged him to a
Starting point is 01:41:37 water polo. Yes. You lost that. And a duel, yes. Byron, don't do this. Listen to Lord Weber here. Well, but perhaps I can have... You sounded like Woody Allen for saying. Listen to Lord Weber here. Yes. But in that way that an effect to the
Starting point is 01:41:51 death, you can have someone stand in for you. I think it should be a song composing contest and I'll have Lord Lord Weber standing for me. What? This now! You've made me your second hand standing? Yes. And then you'll defeat the Gris, and then I'll be able to hang on to my soul,
Starting point is 01:42:09 and still be able to go to the coordination. That'll be the deal. I'll still be your plus one. Okay. Roy Weber, you're going to defeat the Gris. Oh, I'm sorry, I certainly don't mean in the offense. But you know rules, I'll rule. Let me ask me, sir, nobleman, I must not refuse.
Starting point is 01:42:26 Gris, have you ever written a song before? I mean, Lord Weber's written a ton of them. How odd could it be? I guess that's a good point. We're honest. We've heard what Lloyd Weber has going on so far. Not great. He's only got one line.
Starting point is 01:42:39 He's got one line. Let me just say Chris. That was a very specific instance. Chris, I'd be willing to be your second. Oh, wow. So Hot Dog versus Andrew Lloyd Weber in a songwriting contest? Who are you? Hot dog.
Starting point is 01:42:54 Well, I'm a hot dog. Hot dog. Hey, you must have seen him in some of the water you've been in. He water skis. Legend of water skiing. Wait, let me get under you and take a look up. Oh, you! I'm a legend of water skiing and an aspiring duop singer, so yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:12 I thought those were your feet, mate. But you're on sausages. Yeah, he's water skiing on sausages. I'm the only person currently in the continental United States who skis on sausages. There's some in Hawaii. And if you are somebody who has only been listening to 800 and on in the past, hot dog skied on sausages. That's right. So I think we have a contest here.
Starting point is 01:43:34 Lord Weber versus Hot Dog in a songwriting contest for the soul of Byron Deniston. Wow. Wow. And access to the coronation. The real coronation. The stakes could not be high. I suppose that Byron, yes, I will accept it. Who goes first?
Starting point is 01:43:51 Who goes? This is, because normally in the song, the devil went down to Georgia. The loser goes first, right? And then the winner goes second. Are we going to sign? the song? Are they? What's that?
Starting point is 01:44:02 Usually in that song. But there's sometimes it gets switched up. In my mind. Are we going to do the songs now or is that in the next episode? I don't know. I think we should do it now. You're all here, right? So let's do this.
Starting point is 01:44:19 All right. All right. I think no time like the present. It's in the moment. Hot dog, do you want to go first here? I mean, how do we just write the song? Did you say the loser goes first? Should we do it after a break?
Starting point is 01:44:33 No, we've taken all the breaks we have. We can do it after plugs. There's no breaks left. Sorry, we could do it after plugs. Do you want to do it after plugs? No, no, I just was going to. I'll be honest with you, ever since this whole idea came up, I've been working mentally on my song, and I'm, I feel pretty ready to like.
Starting point is 01:44:48 Okay. Give it a subject. You already have a song written? Oh, you can give us a subject. You want to give us a subject? It is. I'll work it into what I've already done. You'll just work it into.
Starting point is 01:44:59 You already have it. efficient, I suppose. Go ahead. Are you ready? And I'll have to catch aub. All right, everybody. This is for the soul of Byron Januson. Go on, Ned Alto.
Starting point is 01:45:09 Here we go. Dip-doo-dip-w-w-w-waw. Wow. Holy shit. Really good. Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber, that has got to really rattle you. It's so good. First blood.
Starting point is 01:45:27 It's so good. You look, you just. You have. Flops wet? You look so concise. Nervous. That's the piece I've auditioned with over 58 times
Starting point is 01:45:36 for the group shone on up. All right. So that's, it's pretty well-hulled. Yeah. I got to tell you, except I obviously updated it and rewrote it for this event. Maybe you could take something out of the trunk,
Starting point is 01:45:46 you know, and just sort of adapt it. Oh, I don't have to go off the dome. Yeah, exactly. Something from the tank. Yes, exactly. What are you? Okay. Lord Weber, this is for Byron Dentiston's soul.
Starting point is 01:45:57 All right. Please, Lord Weber, please. Make it as good as the good ones. Make it like your work up till what, 84? Something like that. All right, here they go. From the Tim Rice. Yes, something good.
Starting point is 01:46:12 Oh, why did I say that? I'm trying to do this for you. Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Burke. All right. Byron's the best. I do say yes. To the coronation, he will
Starting point is 01:46:39 go. Byron's the best Gris will attest. It's you. Byron, it's you. It's you. And oh, he watches the royals. He can achieve. Wow. Just a reminder.
Starting point is 01:47:13 It's pretty. It's pretty clear. It's hot dog. Hot dog. Hot dog. Hot dog. Oh, wait, we're the judges. We don't have to be shouting, chanting hot dog. Oh, I did it because I wanted to. Yeah. No need to shout.
Starting point is 01:47:30 I forget who was I playing for. You were playing for the Gris. All right. Well done. Congratulations, Gris. You've won the duel. And to you, Byron, we're so sorry about your soul. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:47:44 When do you get it? Do you get it right now or do you get it when he dies? What happened? Do you feel different? I, yes, I do. I do. I feel like less of a ban. I'm sorry, by a little thing.
Starting point is 01:47:54 I really did think that was going to do. The trick, it came from Starlight Express. Was that what it was from? Yes, I just did a weird owl. Oh, I was thinking you might have chosen a veto. Yeah, or like cats' memory or something like that. Starlight Express is my favorite. Really?
Starting point is 01:48:10 Yeah. I forgot it's no one else's. Yeah. Well, thank you. for the effort. Now I don't get to go to the coordination, is that right? Oh, well, I mean, I still have
Starting point is 01:48:23 plus one. Oh, really? So I can go. But you don't have a soul anymore. It wouldn't do it. It's the coronation. Hot dog is your plus one. Yeah. The hot dog is my plus one. Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. I'm getting very confused. No, I'm Andrew Lloyd Weber's
Starting point is 01:48:39 plus one. That's right. Of course you are, hop dog. Yeah. That's going to be great. Sorry, I'll go to the few. I knew the whole time. So we didn't even need the song contest. Everybody's going. No, Gris.
Starting point is 01:48:53 The show contest was for the soul. Was for the soul. But are you still going to take him? Hot dog. No. And me. Byron. You guys could both take me as your plus one.
Starting point is 01:49:06 That'd be cool. Everybody wants to hang with hot dogs. I'll take, Byron. Yeah. Maybe you could take his skis as your plus one. Don't talk to me to that. So the Gris is going to take Byron Deniston.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Is this plus one? Yeah. Oh, that's so generous considering... Well, no, I'm doing it from his face in. Oh, that's good. All right, Byron, well, congratulations. Well, thank you. That's quite all right.
Starting point is 01:49:29 You're going to the coronation. You don't have a soul anymore. I will spend, apparently, eternity being tormented by the Gris in, you know, Lake of Fire and all that. But it will be great to see that coronation. I close my... Yeah, wow. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:49:42 Thank you. Oh, sorry. I forgot to tell you. you. Plus ones have to go in the runoff area. The what area? The runoff area. It's sort of room with folding chairs. You can watch on a screen, but it's not very good angle.
Starting point is 01:49:57 You can't really see a lot of it. But you'll be there at the place where it's happening. You can say you're at the coronation. I can really. But when people ask you what you saw, you'll have to say a bunch of paper plates and, you know, cheap wine. And I watched it really on the television like anyone else. anywhere else in the world. It's not a great telly either.
Starting point is 01:50:17 It's not. It's like an old school one. It's a tube. It's a tube tele. It's a rear projection. May I say, sir? Look at three lights. You are less ethical than the devil.
Starting point is 01:50:30 It's a finished basement. But as long as it's finished. The devil went down to Georgia. That devil was more ethical than you, sir. You've changed the deal after the contest, haven't you? Byron, you wound me. Still, he's a great devil. I mean, that's a great devil.
Starting point is 01:50:45 This is what the devil would do in this situation, not like that song, you know. I suppose so. Yeah. Well, congratulations, Byron. I mean, you're going. I am going. It feels like a pirate victory. Peric?
Starting point is 01:50:56 Yeah, I thought you said pirate victory. I thought a pirate as well. It feels like a pirate victory, you know. A total pirate victory for Byron Deniston here. Pirates are never really happy, you know? It's a rough life. Yeah, being a pirate doesn't buy you happiness. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 01:51:09 That's true. So it's a real pirate victory. Wow. Well, guys, this is incredible. Holy cow. I mean, what a day. So much has happened. We are running out of time.
Starting point is 01:51:18 Would that surprise you, Andrew Lloyd-Wiver? It would surprise me. There was ever time for any of this. All right. We only have time for one final feature. That's, of course, a little something called plugs. Don't you want to know what they're doing and what will be a show? Are they choosing you want to be a fan?
Starting point is 01:51:45 So listen to Scott off the lad. he's whispering a haydoll Hey, that was a haynong man by Zachariah Smith Love it. Love it. Thank you so much, Zachariah. I love a Haynong man song. Yeah, wonderful.
Starting point is 01:52:14 He had your second did the song. Well, Zacharias Smith, you had him as the second, Byron. Yes, that would have been fantastic. You think you would have won? Yeah, I think he would have won at that point. For sure. Yeah, definitely. Although hot dogs is really good.
Starting point is 01:52:31 Hot dog is... Could we hear it one more time? I'm okay, yeah. Dip-do do-dip-Wa. Ah, yeah, that would have won. I must admit, I'm jealous. I wish that was our national anthem. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:43 Dip-do-D-Douwa or the Zacharii Smith song. No, no, no, no. The hot dog song? Yeah, definitely. I don't understand your national anthem. It doesn't mention the president. The owl of the national anthem mentions the king. Straight away.
Starting point is 01:52:56 And isn't it like a weird owl of a already existing? English song as well or your national yes yes an English drinking song yeah that you know you can't just get pretty racist okay
Starting point is 01:53:08 alright guys what do we plug in Jason do you have anything to plug I mean I'll plug the how did this get made podcast right here on Ear Wolf have you done 800 of those no we have not no we have not do you think you ever will
Starting point is 01:53:22 you know I don't know well you know we do half as many as you yeah we do episodes and and then point five episodes? You can't just explain not doing as many episodes by saying, well, we do less. Yeah, I know. I mean, we don't do a week.
Starting point is 01:53:36 I hate you. I know you do less. That's why you have less. So we've got that. We've got live shows coming up. Check that out. I hate you. Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:48 So, so much. Oh, you know what, though? I will say, if you're not already on CBB World, get yourself to CBB World and listen to the Bob Duka full throttle with Bob Duke a podcast. Yes, that's right. Absolutely. I have a very small part in it, but it is some of the funniest shit I've ever heard. That plus, hey, Randy, Tim Baltsy show, absolutely is terrible. There's a lot of great stuff on it. There was a network, there was an alimony Tony's Valamoni shone recently.
Starting point is 01:54:15 Really? Okay, I haven't heard that. And Byron, what do you want to plug? Well, I have a podcast called The Royal Roundup with Byron Deniston. Really? Where can people access that? Well, in the States, you can find it on Patreon.com. slash Andy Daly, whoever that is. But that's the only place I think that it's available. He's a gatekeeper of your work. Is that right?
Starting point is 01:54:35 You've got to stop him from keeping your stuff all to himself. I don't know. I challenged him to a songwriting contest and he ended up with my podcast. Oh, you've got to stop challenging him to some writing contest. I guess so. Andrew Lloyd Weber, what do you want to plug? Paul F.tomkins.com slash live. So easy to say.
Starting point is 01:54:57 Amazing. I just said it. Yeah, you said, I haven't said it. Those sound like they could be lyrics. Paul F.tomkins.com slash live. Why did you do this? That's better than his dude of duward. You think that would have been killed?
Starting point is 01:55:15 Of course it would have. What kind of a question is that? Pirate, Byron. You know what? Without a soul, you're feisty. Yeah. I think I'm allowed to be a bit angry under the circumstances. That's where people can access live episodes. previous shows as well as...
Starting point is 01:55:31 They may see live performance dates upcoming and they may also see archived previous shows. Fantastic. I got to spend... I got to roll up my sleeves and spend some time there. Definitely. Hot Dog, what do you want to watch? Well, uh, I am still going to water ski behind the maltchop memories cruise ship
Starting point is 01:55:50 even though apparently... No malts. Apparently no moths. Yeah, sorry. Were you hoping there'd be mults and you were water skiing behind it that they would like throw the Left over, but I was open every once in a while and hold up my hand and somebody would throw a malt to me. I think the clue is in the name,
Starting point is 01:56:05 mold shop memory. Oh, yeah. Oh, of course. That's what most of the cruise is about is just like fond remembrances. Of malt's gone by and some unpleased remit. Yeah. Gris, what do you want to pluck? I like to plug water.
Starting point is 01:56:20 Of course. Let me in it. I love it. No place I'd rather be the water. Ah, fantastic. I want to plug, hey, the comedy bang bang, bang book is coming out in just a few scant weeks. We have a copy right here. We've been flipping through it during the show.
Starting point is 01:56:37 And flipping through the page is like it's a vagina. If this is your first episode, I'm sorry, you had to hear that, but that is a reference. A most unfortunate. But that comes out very soon. You can order it wherever you get books or all the links are up at CBBWorld.com slash book. And we're doing a couple of live shows. shows in New York to promote it. We're doing Comedy Bang Bang,
Starting point is 01:57:05 the podcast, the book, the book release event, I believe. Comedy podcast. Comedy Bang Bang. No, Janie Haddad podcast. That's a callback to somebody else. Oh, is it? A different joke. A different joke.

Starting point is 01:57:40 I think you've got it. That's right. Where the book release event also be a podcast? Maybe. I have no idea. Will those, yeah, will those be recorded and then released his episodes? Probably. Why not monetize everything?
Starting point is 01:57:53 The podcast, the book, the book release event, the podcast. Yes. Good. I swear if we release them. podcast, they'll be called that. I think she's got it. What if that was about COVID? If my fair lady was about COVID?
Starting point is 01:58:06 If they repurposes. I think she's got it. For a modern audience. I think she's got it. She's got it. Yes. I think that's brain fog. And while you're, like Jason said, while you're over there at CBBWorld.com, check out all of the
Starting point is 01:58:21 shows we have. If you're only listening to Comedy Bang Bang, you're only getting half the story. All right. Let's close up the old plug bag. People listening to the podcast, slow it down and enjoy. Can you dig it? Doors are made for closing, so we take them up and shut them tight. Doors are made for locking, so we take our key and make it rough.
