Hey everyone, Scott Aukerman here and welcome back to another bonus bang. What are bonus bangs? Bonus bangs are episodes of Comedy Bang Bang that were recorded a while ago, years, maybe months, who knows? But they are out behind the paywall currently and we are re-releasing these every Thursday for you to hear them. Now we're in the middle of a series of bonus bangs right now called Old No-Nos. This is the fourth episode.

And what these are, are episodes that feature Paul Rust and his beloved segment New No-Nos. Now this episode is number 401, where we were breaking off another hundo. And it's titled Love is Thicker Than Water, originally released on February 15th, 2016. This episode features Love co-stars Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust. Love was a show on Netflix that they starred in together,

as well as Hollywood TV star Alan Thicke played by Paul F. Tompkins. We have new no-nos, we talk about butts a little bit. We maybe even get some new music from Alan Thicke you have to listen to see.

I see England, I see France. You guessed it, I'm looking at Google Maps. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Catchphrase Superstar, Voblex for that wonderful catchphrase.

And it's getting thumbs up from some, thumbs down from others, and looks like a split decision. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. It's, of course, Valentine's Week, although Valentine's was yesterday. But Valentine's Week, it's the week of love, the week of heartstrings being pulled, the week of... Kissies? And I hope you've had your share of kisses, and when I say your share, I mean one. I think everyone should get one kiss per their lifetime, you know? There's not enough to go around. And then you have to choose very wisely when you give that person or whom and who you give it to. To whom you give it.

Speaking of love and gosh, I hope that I was, we have two very special guests here. We have two very special guests here. They, I mean, we're going to talk about it. They star in a show together, and the title of which is Love, and which is released this Friday on Netflix, all 10 episodes at the same time. You can watch them all concurrently. Netflix has that new feature

where you watch them all at the same time, right? Simultaneously all 10 at once. Mm-hmm, and if you were to do that, how much do you think you would actually retain? I'd say at least 99% of it. 99%? So why doesn't everyone just do that instead of wasting 10 hours on this thing or five?

You're talking about 10 separate squares on the screen. Oh, I was talking about, no, I was talking about them all on top of each other. Or ten TVs. When are you talking to that goddamn microphone Gillian? What kind of professional are you? Is mine on? She's just talking to the air. She said ten TVs. Ten TV's. TBD's. 10 TBD's, and speaking of TBD, I shall no longer be keeping their names from you. They are here right now, the creator of, and star of this show, Love.

We have Paul Rust. Thank you, co-creator, co-star. I don't put the co's in front of things. You don't like the co's. I don't like the co's. I don't like the co's. You know what I mean? You really don't put the co's in front of things. You don't like the co's. I don't like the co's. I don't like the co's. You know what I mean? You don't like the co's anymore?

I'm going to go on record today. What's wrong with me? What'd I do? Well, that's for another time. Did I do that? I don't think that was your catchphrase. And of course we have the co-star, S, of Love. Gillian Jacobs returning to the program.

He hasn't been here in a year. Hello. Clap for myself. Yeah. Clapping for herself. She clapped for Paul. Had to clap for herself. Had to start the claps for herself.

Welcome to the show guys. Love. Oh thanks for having us, Scott. Sure. The Beatles said. No thank you. All you need, love. Oh thanks for having us Scott. Sure, the Beatles said- No thank you. All you need is love. So I know that, but what is this that you're doing? They were talking about our show.

What? Yep, they were very prescient. The Love and Friends Labs from Liverpool? Yeah, yeah, I said prescient, you said prescient, but I think you said- You say prescient, my prescient. I say prescient, what do you say- You say prescient. My prescient. I say prescient. What do you say? I say prescient too.

Oh! Did I do that? I have a moment of panic before I ever say the word because I'm worried I'm mispronouncing it and I think- I think it's prescient. Isn't it, Prescient? Really? I think there's two ways.

There should be a new feature on this show where we decide amongst ourselves how something is pronounced and then whatever we decide is how it's pronounced. Great. It's like the 21st century version of potato potato. Mmm, okay. You know what I mean? No. You say dee dee dee.

I say, but yeah. You say dee dee dee. Um, guys, this is very exciting because as far as I'm concerned, this love thing is a television program. Is that fair to say? Yes. Yes. Yes. TV. TV program, yeah. TBDs. And it's on Netflix. Netflix.

Netflix. Is it hours that have been halved or is it full hours? Hours have been halved. So you halved some hours there. Yes, but sometimes they're, they're, well, we call them halfies. Oh. That's what, if Cool Up and I have a baby, that's what we're gonna call them. Oh! Wait, Killy just threw up.

She threw up into her mug. Thanks for bringing your own mug, by the way. I appreciate that. I don't trust you. Yes, they are all around a half hour. Around a half hour, not on the dot. I would think if you were a professional, it would be a half hour on the dot. No, no, no, no.

Sometimes they're a little less. Sometimes they're a little more. Really? Yeah. Do you ever just turn in like a three hour episode and go, we didn't know what to cut out of this one? They're like, you're right. It was all good.

How could you even cut? I'm afraid about this. Yeah. No. So I guess all total, all 10 together. Five-ish Finkel? Yeah, it's about a five-ish Finkel Jr. Five-ish Finkel Jr.

Yes. Okay, so if people were to enter into Google five-ish Finkel Jr., this show would come up? Yeah, automatically. Okay, great. Tell me about it. I mean, tell me the long saga of this.

Paulie, I know you and I have worked together on the Comedy Bang Bang TV show. You were a writer on that for quite a bit. We knew each other pre-Comedy Bang Bang days. We don't need to get into all of that. I think I was in one of the first episodes back when it was on the radio. What? Way back. Um, but I remember you were keeping this TV show very close to the vest.

Oh, you didn't want to talk anything about it. Well, it's about love. You've got to keep it close to the vest next to the old heart. That's true. Oh, Gilead just barfed again. But I remember the day, and I remember like it was yesterday, it was July 4th, Independence Day. You called me up and quit my show.

I was by the pool on vacation. Close to your birthday, no less. Yep, right after my birthday. You called me up, quit my show, and said, I gotta work on something different, boy. Boy? I quit my show and said, I gotta work on something different, boy. Boy! But Scott, knowing my proclivities, was like, I want you to know, I'm not gonna dislike you. Like you do. Did I say that?

Yeah, you're like, you don't have to worry, I'm not gonna be upset. You do. You did sound a little nervous on the call. Of course. I was kind of like, why? Yeah, of course, you have your own show, go do it. Oh no, well, Scott, no lie, you're one of the drinks that I look up to, so.

You did start, you had started, and you had only worked about a week at that point. But no, tell us, I mean, aside from all that, I mean, that's good info for the listener to have when they're deciding whether or not they're going to watch this show. And it is a watch thing, right? It's not just a listen.

You could just listen. The dialogue's crackling. Is this on crackle? A lot of times we'll make sure if you are just listening to the audio that we're always verbalizing. Describing what's happening. I'm picking up the teapot now. That's a weird dialogue.

I've seen some episodes. Very strange dialogue. You're always discussing. 80% of the dialogue is discussing when a teapot is being picked up or not. And why are you drinking so much tea on this show? I don't quite understand. Well, that's the thing, wherever we are, we pick up teapots. Oh yeah, you never get to the tea. I thought we were trying to have a sort of Anglophile audience.

You know, you've got to think internationally now with these streaming platforms. Oh, definitely, definitely. You gotta court those Brits. Yeah, tough audience. Once you get them, they'll never leave you. Court Brits? Reminds me of Wimbledon. But go ahead and talk- Reminds me of a powdered wig. A barrister.

Yes. Go ahead and talk about this show at length. Gilead, you want to talk about it? How did you get involved in this, first of all? I was... How did I get involved? I was asked? I was asked? Yes. Of course. You were asked. I was asked. You were asked. I was asked. Of course, yeah. You were asked. I was asked. You were asked. I was asked. And when it was being written,

Gillian was being already conceived to play the part. She was being conceived while you wrote the, wait a minute, are you her dad? Then we waited nine months, then we asked her. We watched nine months with Hugh Grant, then when it was over, we asked her. No, we had written it, and Gillian probably already knew this, but I was a huge fan of hers on Community.

I think she's a terrific actress. Very, very funny. So when we were writing, we were like, oh, Gillian would be great for this. In the meanwhile, she was acting on Girls. So we saw her on that, and then it all came together What is what is the her acting on girls and you saw her on it have to do with? anything Well, Judd Apatow who's pretty oh, there we go He was doing girls as well and he called up and he was like this Gillian. She's great. She's killing it on the show You we should really kill Ian. Yeah, she's killian Murphy She's killing it on the show. You we should really she's Killian. Yeah, she's Killian Murphy

Yeah, we thought we had hired Killian Murphy so it was a bit of a letdown on the first day of shooting Because you had written the scarecrow into every scene The Ray Bolger. Yeah, that's what I mean. Of course. Yeah, the Wizard of Oz Ray Bolger scarecrow. Yeah, and you were hoping Killian Murphy. Oh my god, there were so many points of confusion. Boy, when you look back at the making of a show, so much could have gone differently if Killian Murphy had just done it and done the Ray Bolger scarecrow character. Would have been so different. And I was supposed to be a sea lion. Right, yeah.

And Judd Apatow was gonna be the Tin Man, but he was allergic to all that makeup, right? Yes! So Buddy Epson filled in. But tell me about this, tell me about the, I don't know why you're pointing at Paul, when I'm the one who started it. But I knew, I liked it,

cause I knew that piece of trivia that he was allergic to the pain, he had to drop out. Yeah, but I'm the one who started it. But his, I liked it because I knew that piece of trivia that he was allergic to the pain he had to drop out Yeah, but I'm the one who started it. But his I liked his fact better But tell what is the show what I mean backgrounds all great, but let's let's now look at the foreground What what do we have? What is this? Oh the the show is about I play Gus and... I play Mickey. That's all I need to know. Here we go.

And the show begins with us meeting each other for the first time and then as the episode's gone it's just sort of a slow look at how their relationship unfolds. So this show is slow. Yeah, I realize every time I describe that one I'm like, it's slow. And then people are like... We're really boring into these characters. Oh! Isn't there some sort of interesting way, some sort of interesting narrative choice, or are you not giving that away? Oh, what do you mean, Scott?

I mean, isn't it told from two different perspectives? Yes. It's not the affair. It's like the affair without all that kissing. Yes, because you only get one kiss. Yeah, we obey the logic that you set up in the show. Thank you. Retroactively.

We knew. We were quite prescient about that new rule. I knew that you would say that. No, no. Yes, no, it's told sort of some episodes are told from just locked into what she's seeing, what I'm seeing, and sometimes we cross paths and sometimes we don't. But you should watch the show. You don't want to get the, what's that, a spoil.

A spoil? A spoil? A spoil. A spoil. Spoiler. You don't want to get the what's that a? Spoil oil Oil a spoil spoil spoil our oh another another comedy bang bang Regular yeah sometime appearing Claudio D'arty is in the cast She plays Mickey's friend. I would say regular, maybe a comedy fave. Oh sure. A comedy fave love. She hasn't been around in a little while. We took her.

Yeah, well, yeah. Cause you took her. No, she's been in New York, of course. Yes, it's been a frontiers moon since she was last here. Thank you very much. I like to divvy up my time periods by a frontiers moon. Yeah. If you Google that right now, you'll realize

that's not a term that exists. But tell me something to get me hooked into watching this show, to anything. You gotta work on this. You're about to go into press. Yeah, I know this is our... You gotta like, sexy it up a little bit. Oh, there's sex on the show.

Really? Yes. Who has sex? People and animals. Whoa, okay. People and animals. People with animals? No.

Well. If you look at the background, in the corners of the frame. In every scene, there's someone. You can see a munchkin hanging. Yeah. All right, we're all pointing at you now. Only because you're spreading your arms wide like, hey, point at me. We do shoot on the lot where they shot Wizard of Oz.

True. So this is all I've been seeping through. Really? The old MGM lot. On Sony? Yes, but I like to think of it as MGM. The point furthest away from any other point on the map. Oh yes.

Oh yes. But a lot of the old actors from the Wizard of Oz are still hanging around there. Really? The woman who played Auntie M, her skeleton bounces around on the lot everywhere. Really? Yeah. I'm kidding. Okay.

Thank you. Thank you for clarifying. And so Claudia's in this. Who else is in this? Never ending sex, Claudio Doherty. Never ended sex. Brett Gellman. Who else?

Who does Brett have sex with? Do we get to see it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Do we get to see his butt? You're really having to think about it.

Well, I'm trying to think of just based on the non TV times that I've seen his ass. How many butts do we get to see in this? Maybe four butts, eight cheeks. Both of your butts? You might see a little bit of my butt. Oh boy. It's not for moms and dads.

No, no. Really, no. But now I'm too close to the mic. No, no moms nor dads! No, no. Really? Now I'm too close to the mic. No. No moms nor dads should watch this? Even perspective moms and dads. Really? People who are thinking of having children.

Imagine that it'll be a mom or dad. So even children who play mom and dad? Like play house, play mommy and daddy? They should watch it. No one who watches playing house should watch this. You know what? Even if you have a mom or dad, you should have watched it. So I guess that kind of, you know, has down a lot of the people who are...

The gods and goddesses. I think moms and dads would like it. Yeah, moms and dads just... They get to see what their kids are up to. It's not our moms and dads. Yeah, yes. Are you gonna let your parents watch the show? That's a good question. I think so. I've thought about giving them edited versions.

Edited versions, really? Yeah. That's too much to do. Have you done that, Scott? Have you? No, I just go, don't watch this or watch this or whatever. Yeah. Or I've thought about fast forward until this point and then start. Really? Yeah.

So they would have an issue with what? Do you say the F word? It's not so much that they would have an issue with stuff. It's just more like, do my parents really need to see me jacking off? Ha ha ha! What my face looks like a climax. Do my parents really need to see me jacking off?

I love that song. The old big Crosby. Oh, hey there. My parents are... Hey, what about me too? Get out of here you... Okay, that's it for me. You are a scam.

That's what they call me for. So you jack off in this, we see your butt. No, it's funny, but there's also some feelings. Feelings. This is the first emo TV show, is that right? There's motions, laughs. Emotions. Yeah.

What else do you get to see? Gillian, as an actress, what was appealing about this role for you? And try to pull your turtleneck completely over your head by the time you answer this. I have a pimple on my chin and I never know when these photos are being taken, so I'm trying to just cover it. Okay, he's not going to take it, let me see your chin. You can't even see it! Thank you, but I think that camera can. Oh. Um.

Is it hard, Paul, to be around an actress who's vain all the time? No. Gillian is one of the least vain actors or actresses I have met. Who's the most vain? Well, according to Carly Simon, we're invading. Oh, that's right, yeah. So vain.

Oh, I was so happy when she finally revealed that. It was such a relief. I don't know if other people had this experience. I always thought it was V-E-I-N vain. Right, yeah, you were so veiny, is what I. Yeah, I was like, I guess Warren Beatty's got some varicoses on his legs that I don't even see. Gillian, have we given you enough time

to think about your answer? I think that it was a tremendous opportunity for me as an actress. I feel that... Oh boy. I don't know how to answer these questions on your podcast. You ask her a question, she gives you an answer. Go ahead. I want me to say, I can give you the real answer or the comedy bang bang answer.

What's the, give me the real one. All right. I felt like it was a great opportunity. What opportunity to what? Well, I feel like- To like jump up there in the higher echelon of actresses because now you've had a co-starring role on a television show so now you can be in movies or what are we talking about? Are we talking about the gross commercial, commercial, commercial ambitionals?

I have, are you talking about my artistic-als, feeling-als? In terms of an artistic-al feeling-al, I felt like it was a fabulous character with a lot of depth, she's like a lot of conflict and she's struggling with stuff and I felt like she got to be I got to be funny and sad and really explore a lot of depth and then for yeah for my gross commercial ambitions I'm hoping that this really just launches me into the stratosphere of this industry. What do you want to be starring in Rom-Coms? I'd love to star in a rom-com. I'd love to be an animated voice in ice float 4 and I

Really was just hoping to to open a new restaurant chain That focuses mainly on venison. God she can barely talk Paul. How do you deal with this? Well, I'm looking forward to seeing this. Thank you. Yeah. You know, some actors just play one note. Gillian over here plays an entire symphony. Wow. So, uh.

That's sincere. So, all of eight notes and then the, what are they, five or six half notes? Yeah. Okay, all of those. You do all of those in the show? Two of the episodes, there's no actors, it's just colors and tones on the screen. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see those. And you have synesthesia, it'll be really fun for you. What is that? I don't know what synesthesia is.

That's where you see, what is it you see? You have a mental link sometimes between numbers and colors, colors and musical notes. It can happen a variety of ways. And is it brilliant people who have this? I think all across the spectrum of intelligence, people have synesthesia. You're about to wipe your nose. No, I'm not. What are you doing?

I just like holding my nose. Up right by your face? Okay, there you go. Covering my pimple. Now you look even worse right now. You look like Claude Reigns or something like that. You're at the end of unwrapping your Unwrapping your invisible man. I read an interesting book by somebody named Claude. It was Revenge of the Tiger by Claude Balls. You might want to check it out. Just a 2016 beach. If you're on a beach right now, you should pull that book out. Got Valentine's, holiday break.

Well guys, this has been really interesting. I think you've done a really good job. Just watch the show because you like us. We make you laugh on this beautiful podcast of yours, Scott. You're hoping that we do well. You want to see more of us. And you love feelings. Feelings. Yeah. It's the links with feelings that runs around on the set.

Okay, so now... Would you say this gets the Auker approval? The thumbs up? The Auker approval? The up the ochre approval the seal of a Proval yeah, I mean, you know look I this is sight unseen at this point. I like both of you guys Paul I enjoy your work And A cool up Lysac makes an appearance as well.

Yeah, Neil Campbell, I believe, is in this. Mike Hanford. Mike Hanford, I'm trying to think of other... You've done your share. You've done your share of the hard sell. Is Armin ever on this podcast? Yeah, well, has he been on this? Yeah, Armin's on the show and it's great. It's great. It's great having him on the show, I mean.

All of the birthday boys? Almost all of the birthday boys. Yes. If you like, if you like IFC. Always on. If you like IFC, you'll love Netflix with them airing everything six months later. I was gonna say, yeah, I guess that's true. And so now that we've hooked people into it properly, now we can actually do the real reason you came on the show, Paul.

Oh, the nip nips? The nip nip nips. That's right, Paul likes to come on the show and he has a feature that he likes to do called the nip nip nips. No, go ahead and set this up. It's called New Nonos. Oh! I've done it, I think, a couple times on this show. You've done it a few times. Sure.

Well, it's based on, Bill Maher has a segment called New Rules. Uh-huh. And I guess... Those are things that he's exhorting people to do. Yeah, Mr. Marr takes... Exhorting, is that right, Paul? Yeah, exhorting. Takes some gripes that everybody...

Paul Rust, of course. Yeah. Bill Marr, he'll take some gripes that everybody has, something we all have to deal with. And he kinda... He does a reverent suggestion about how to solve this problem. I mean, he's more than suggesting it as far as I'm concerned.

He's dictating. He's dictating it. If he were ruler of this land, these would be laws. God, hope. President Maher, 2020. Maybe 2020 or maybe VP of 2016. Oh, that'd be awesome. With Trumpy. Yeah, Trump and? Maybe 2020. Or maybe VP of 2016. Oh, that'd be awesome. With Trumpy.

Yeah, Trump and Mar together. Trump Mar. Trump Mar. Trump Mar. So we've established what new rules are at this point. So there's been a, I felt, Mark could push this further. He's snotty, but I'm snottier. Mm-hmm.

He's cheesed off, but I'm even more cheesed off. You're cheesier! So I do a little segment called New No-No Start the Clock! Start the Clock. Good afternoon. At the moment, time will be real fun. No, no, no. It's snowing right now, huh?

Bum-ba-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-d I think it'll work! It would be so interesting if you came to Hollywood

and you were at an audition and everyone's like, beautiful girl, boy, she's gonna go far. And then you started talking and it was just that. Why'd you do it to me? Sam? Why? Sam. Yeah. And by the way, no one in the audition, like none of the characters are named Sam. You just name everyone Sam. She's got this weird vocal quirk where she calls every character Sam. Mid-Atlantic Sam. One time I auditioned

for some sort of like teen fight club movie. Teenager fight club? Yeah, it was like it was called like Never Stop Fighting or Don't Give Up Ever No Matter What. So wait it was a it was a it was a movie. It was like that. So wait, it was a movie. It was a movie. And it was four teens and starred teens? Yeah, it was aimed at a younger audience than my parents' generation. It was about a young man in a high school who has to start fighting and not stop fighting. Never stop fighting? For how long?

The rest of his goddamn life. Like, is this a 24 situation? It was the speed of fighting. So if he stopped fighting, a bomb would blow up a bus? I've never seen this before. Up his butt? A bomb would go up his butt. It wouldn't go off, it would just go up his butt.

Which is painful enough. Painful enough. Without going off. Yeah. And what happened? So I was auditioning to play his love interest. Sure. A fellow high school student. Sure.ing to play his love interest. Sure. A fellow high school student.

Sure, a great role I would imagine. Love interest of the lead. Very well developed character, dimensional. Much like this microphone that you refuse to talk into. Listen, people like it when they are struggling to hear what I'm saying. And so I went in, I read for the director, I finished the scenes and he said,

you know what, you remind me of Christopher Walken. Interesting. In terms of your delivery. My vocal delivery. Which is usually perfect for the love interest in a teen fighting movie, right? So obviously I got the part. Check it out on my IMDB page. What was it like?

Were you like, you need to stop fighting these people? I think I was, you know, trying to imbue the, I wouldn't say wouldn't, but stiff dialogue with feeling perhaps. And maybe I had to take a lot of pro pauses to do that. Prozes? Proces. Did you, you got the part or were you kidding or? No, I didn't get the part.

Jay Moore got it. Jay Moore got it. He's got a killer walk-in. Yep. A real walk-in role. Well, that's too... What was your actual first role in Hollywood? My first role was in an independent feature in New York City called Building Girl. Building Girl. Was that verb or noun building?

Noun. Okay. So you were a girl who hung out in buildings? Like most humans? I was a girl who lived in the building, you know, the girl from the building. Oh, okay. And what was that part? Girl who lives in building.

I don't remember much about that. You were the titular character? I was. And I was the tits in it. Really? What does that mean? I was the best. I was, you know.

Oh, OK. Great. Well, that's fantastic. I didn't possess the only mammary glands. Everybody's got them, Scott. Sure, everyone has them. But, you know, we're not as proud of them as you. I heard in a pinch men can lactate if the baby's like, no.

If you pinch it hard enough? A literal pinch? Can I test this theory out today? If you pinch a man's penis, milk will shoot out of his... Butt. Yep. Well, that's fantastic. I think that it's...

Oh, the door's... Excuse me. Pardon me. What's wrong with the door? The door is stuck. I can't quite close it. Oh, God. Sorry about that.

Oh, hey. Hello. Hello, everyone. Hi there. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh,. I can't quite close it. Oh, God.

Sorry about that. Oh, hey. Hello. Hello, everyone. Hi there. Oh my gosh. Scott, hello. How do you do?

Paul, Russ, you must be a fan of this gentleman. Huge fan of Alan Thicke. From Pains. Oh, thank you. The Pains. Growing Pains. Don't call it Pains unless you've been there. I mean, I watched it.

And your talk show in The Thicke of the Night. Big fan. Well, that's very nice to hear. Thank you very, it's always, it's nice when young people are familiar show in the thick of the night. Well that's very nice to hear, thank you very much. It's always, it's nice when young people are familiar with thick of the night. Well my parents would tuck me in every night, we'd watch it. Oh and then you'd watch it together in a big bed like Charlie the Chocolate Factory. Family bed. We had our names carved on the headboard. That's very bleak. But thank you for being a fan and Of course, my sitcom, Growing Pains. And of course,

you're familiar with my work as a theme song writer. Yes, it's true. Sure. I would love, maybe you'd like to write a theme song for Ball Rust over here? A personal theme song for you? Or for his personal band theme song. Or for his show. He's got a show coming up. Oh, congratulations. It's great to have shows. You know, I have a show, a reality show, that airs on one of those reality show networks. It's called- It's Monstrously Thick?

It's, now Scott, we have a lot of fun with the title, but of course it's Painfully Thick. It's about me and one of the women that I married. Do you have a theme song for the show, Love, or? It's just got music, it doesn't have lyrics. No lyrics? Yeah. Are you a lyricist or a composer?

Hello, Gillian. Hello. It's been a calendar year since the last time I've seen you. Yeah. Anyway, I am a composer and a lyricist, of course I wrote the words and the lyrics. Facts of life, although I had inspiration from the title, of course I wrote the words and the lyrics. The facts of life, although I had inspiration from the title of course I didn't come up with the title. No, but I mean the facts of life are things that you probably have. I would have called it

yes. Bunch of girls. One on skates. Still got the of in there. Bunch of girls. Bunch of girls. Bunch of girls. Bunch of girls. Bunch of girls. There's one on skates, one's a Christian. One is deaf. One's a Christian. One is deaf. That can be every show. One's a Christian. I think she became a Christian later. I don't think she was a Christian. You don't think she was a Christian on that show? That was not the character.

You're talking, of course, about Blair. Of course, yeah. Blair was just a sort of uptight rich girl. She was not necessarily a Christian. Okay. It wasn't overt. I mean, she may have been a Christian on the show. She may have been, but of course, I

had to watch every episode because we would do the theme live. Sure, yeah. But then you wouldn't leave? You would just stick around to watch the episode? Why not? You know, it's fun to be there, craft service. That's true.

So she never. A lot of bugles on that set. Yeah, boy. Same with the. You could put bugles on your fingers and make yourself into a witch. Interesting. Same with the- You could put bugles on your fingers and make yourself into a witch. Interesting. Same with the Spider-Man set.

There were a lot of bugles on that one too. Or one of note. So- Even Gillian got that one. That's the paper. I feel as if the last time we were together there was a lot of Spider-Man talk as well. I don't remember. You were making fun of me because I didn't know about Spider-Man.

I was like, oh, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I feel as if the last time we were together, there was a lot of Spider-Man talk as well.

I don't remember. You were making fun of me because I didn't know about some issue of Spider-Man where... What'd you want, number 42 where Mary Jane was introduced? No! With the I, Webb? Oh, with the ring, I, the Webb, of course. Yeah, when Doc Ock married Aunt May. Of course, that was before I arrived on the scene.

Yeah. So I wouldn't know that. Anyway. So sing a song about love. Love. What is the show about? Can you give me some back road? Yeah, try to do a better job than you did earlier.

Yes, I realize now that we should have. I, I- We don't have to know! We don't have to sell this show to you. This is a show that is in-cell-able. It's in-cell-able. Well, just for the help of the song, I play somebody who's sort of uptight. He plays Gus, by the way.

People pleaser, dorky guy. Can I stop you right there? Are you the main character of the show? I'm one of the main characters. One of the main. Is it an ensemble piece? Yeah, it's kind of a two-hander. That's, well that's two-hander. Are you talking about that scene where you jerked off? That's what you need for uncountably thick.

You know about it too. We were both racing to get our joke in. That's more of a one-fister open Palmer. One finger in the buttholer. What are we talking about? What a shocker! So that's my character. Hey, now I'm pointing at you. And then Gillian, she plays Mickey. She's sort of a wild child. The second hand in the two-hander. Yes. Is it M-I-K-I or is it what is it? M-I-C-K-E-Y.

Why didn't you write that song? U-S-E. Why didn't I write that song? That's a good question. Ooh, why didn't I write the other songs I didn't write? Do you think time prevented you from where you were born in your life? Yeah, not enough time? The very time prevented me from writing those songs. That reminds me of something, I don't know what it is.

I'm sure I don't know. Oh, okay, so he plays Gus, she plays Mickey. Well, what's the show about though? Don't tell me. Are you Canadian? Of course I am. I'm from Toronto. So don't tell me show me? What were you about to say?

Well, I need to know what the show is about. The show me state? Not just the characters. Well, these two characters, can you imagine if they got together in a romantic relationship? They're opposites. They're kind of opposites. They're very different. Yes.

Not so much May, December. Whose idea was this? Not mine. Very, very new. You're already washing your hands of this. We thought it would be cool. I had nothing to do with this. We thought there might be a show in two identical people dating each other.

Two people who jibe on every level conceivable. Zero conflict. Zero conflict. The first time they ever talk, they have all the same references and like all the same things. Politically they align. Emotionally.

Religiously. Yeah. Should say spiritually. Background. Background, they both. Backgroundally. They're from the exact same house in the exact same city. The brother and sister.

They meet by the first of them by the second they're married. There was a show about a brother and sister who fell in love. Really? Which one? Recently on television. It was written by Neil LaBeute. And I don't remember what it was called. In the company of siblings. Gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah. Oh, my God.

Do you guys ever act like this on the show, or are you acting like normal people? No, it's all this. Oh, are the people mentally ill? Sure. I mean, you could argue that all of us are in some way. Yes. In some respect. Well, our brains are rotting in our heads the further and further we get to death. Closer and closer we get to death. That was the original title. Oh, did, the further and further we get to death. Closer and closer we get to death. That was the original title. Oh, did I say further and further?

Further from birth, closer towards death. Further from birth, closer towards death. No, closer, you're right, of course. The further we go from our mother's vaginas that birthed us. Really, do you think life is all about trying to get as far away from your mother's vagina as possible until you're on the exact opposite of the earth from it. And then you die the minute you hit the exact opposite. Yeah.

When you're completely- Is this what the show is about? A boot? Oh, I'm sorry. You're from Toronto. Toronto. Well, I live in Toronto now, of course. You do?

Some, yeah. Oh. I divide my time between, I have several homes. How does that work? Uh, tax purposes wise? Is it tough? Pretty good. We looked it up the last time about a year ago,

I think it was. Is it exactly a year ago? Almost to the day. Wow, that you were on the show. We looked up at how rich you are. I'm very rich. You're doing pretty good. You're surprisingly rich.

What was it, it was like 35 mil or something? I think you're doing me a disservice. I'm so sorry. It was like $60 million. 60 mil? And Gary. Gary had 80 mil. Not as much, I think you're doing me a disservice. I'm so sorry. It was 60 million dollars. 60 mil! And Gary... Gary had 80 mil.

Not as much as I thought he'd have. I thought he'd be more wealthy. Well he's just a director. Isn't he a show creator? Yeah, that's true. He also created shows with him. There's a lot of money in that, of course. Yeah, Paul, tell us about that.

Old-timey. A lot of money in creating love? Cha. Hold on a second. Oh yeah, he wasn't done. Paul, you were the creator of this program? A co-creator, yes. A co-creator?

Who is your other creator? My wife, Leslie Arfin. What? And Judd Apatow. You didn't know about this? I didn't know they were married. How long have you been married now, son? Son?

Father? Father Thicke? Well, I'm certainly older than you are. P, son? Son? Father? Father Thicke? Well, I'm certainly older than you are. Paternally Thicke? Paternally Thicke. You know, I have a father. My son, Robin, is a very famous singer.

That's right. Yeah, very famous plagiarist. Anyway... Well, now... Well, I don't want to get into Thicke water here. He was just an homage. A loving trip. We've been married since October.

Soggily Thicke. And how was the wedding? Did you have a... Well, I don't want to get into thick water here. He was just an homage. A loving trip. We've been married since October. Soggy thick. And how was the wedding? Did you have fun? Oh, it was beautiful. Weddings were fun. Yeah, it was a great wedding.

Some weirdo showed up to it. What's that? Oh, no, Party Crasher. That is the absolute worst thing you can do is to show up to someone's wedding that you weren't invited to. Hey, not if you're Owen or Vince. That's true. Boy, it worked out pretty well for them.

Well, that was fiction, of course. And the whole point of that film was that it's a thing you don't do. Well, um. It's a theme song for love. Yeah, do you have enough info? So it's about opposites who, they fall in love. Maybe.

Well, we don't even know if they fall. There's ups and downs sometimes. So it's called love, and then, for most of the series, they are not in love. They just coexist in the world. There's ups and downs. Sometimes they miss, you know, they can't connect. Missed connections. Yeah, I didn't want to say missed connections because it sounded like Craigslist.

Did they have that? Yeah. They do. Yeah. Also, if you're're German you can get someone to chop your penis off and cook it in front of you. I am German! Are you? Well there you go. Excuse me. Something you might want to look into. Can we talk more about that? Sure. German Craigslist. Do you want to do a theme song for that by the way? I'll do that one. Okay let's hear it. What five six seven eight. You don't want your dick, but you wanna eat it.

Come down to the dick hut. We'll top off your dick and cook it right up. You can eat it in front of your mom. Once you get as far away from your mom's vagina, you can die, but you can't die with your dick attached. So come on down to the dick hut. Nice, wow, what do you think? Now, Alan, as a theme song writer.

Well, I have to say that fell more into the, that fell more in the realm of jingles than theme songs. Yeah, all right. Because that sounded like a jingle for a business, a brick and mortar establishment, as opposed to an ad in German Craigslist. You think it was brick and mortar, it was not an online business?

Well, if you come on down, no one says come on down to Amazon.com. Although if I could go to the warehouse and just pick the stuff up, that would be better. Do you think it would be like Raiders of the Lost Ark where there's just crates and crates and crates? Ooh, I wonder if you could order the Ark of the Covenant on Amazon.

Don't open it up though, my boy. Let's see what your face to know. Speaking of indie films, Gillian. Anyway, let's hear this theme song for Love. Five, six, seven, eight! Wait, hold on a second. We did it to her. You know what I really like about the Indiana Jones character?

He has a really great arc. What? Grow up. All we need to grow up. What about that Noah film? Remember that uh... Noah. I totally remember it. With the guy from Gladiator.

Yeah, that Gladiator guy. Well Russell Crowe was in it, but I thought it should have been Russell Two Crows. Yeah, I mean two by two they came onto that arc. He really messed up by just bringing a crow on there. What if he had a crow on his shoulder the entire Noah film? And he's like, it's two! It's two of us! It counts!

Hold on. It counts! He's saying this to the camera the entire time. It counts, everyone! But the idea is that Russell Crowe would have sex with the crow, the bird. No, he's not having sex with it. Well, that's why there were two of everything. Well, sure. Eventually.

So they could repopulate the earth. But not in... It was not just because God was some sort of OCD weirdo. That's the last scene of the film. I didn't want to spoil, but that's the last scene where he's like, all right, buddy, it's time. This is an impression of Russell Crowe you just did. It counts. It counts. Seriously, it counts.

Hey, what are you doing here? Oh dear. Noah. Yes, God. Oh, he had a famous, that's right, Dr. Cosby had a famous routine. Once a cubit. Where he talks to Noah. Oh really?

Yes. But here would be the problem. Even if they could have a baby, it would be sterile. Oh, why? Like a mule. Like a mule. Why? Because if it's not, if you're not of the same species,

it becomes sterile. Yeah, a mule can't have another mule with another mule. Isn't that a shame? Wait, so. A human and a crow having sex wouldn't produce a new- Crow man? So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Could a-

A crow man? A new viable- A new viable- Could a human- What are you, him? Could a human have sex with a dog and create a dog human, but as long as it's just- I don't know.

No, that couldn't happen, woof. I almost- Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, no! That would never happen, woof. Go. My mom wasn't human and my dad certainly wasn't a dog, woof. Did you say your mother wasn't human?

Wasn't human? Was human, I'm sorry. Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know about that. That's the one weird thing that you've said. I'm sorry, you're on the record. Since you started talking about this, woof. All right, get to it.

Five, six, seven, eight. I think it's that, that count is throwing me off. How slow do you want it to be? Do you want to be a little slower? Do you want it to swing a little more? I'll take care of it. Yeah, you want it to swing. I'll take care of it.

Follow me for the changes. Will you please? You say up, but I say down. I say smile and you say frown. You're the opposite of me, but I think we're in love. Let's call the TV show love the end. Wow! I think you got something there. There we go. Now that's just off the dome. Of course, I didn't have time to sit down in my cabin and compose the song.

Your songwriting cabin. My songwriting cabin. Yeah, where is that located? That's in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Is that where all the Costco products come from? Yes. Did someone say Costco? Lake Kirkland. Get out of here.

Okay. We don't want you around, mister. I'm starting to get the picture. It's always a shame when a TV dad goes south. Yeah, you must have a lot of empathy for that. Of course I do. Well, both doctors too, you both played. That's right, I was a doctor on pains.

What kind of doctor were you on pains? I don't remember. Oh, medical. Oh, not a... A doctor of the mind. Were you, yes. Who was on growing pains? It was Kurt Cameron, of course. Leo. Leo DiCaprio.

The two notable people. The cousin Oliver of pain. Joanna Kearns, of course, played my wife. And we used to call her the Colonel because her last name was Kearns and also she threw a can of corn in my head one time. I'm on the record with that story. Tracy Gold. Tracy Gold was the first woman to play the Colonel.

And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel.

And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was the first woman to play the Colonel. And she was in my head one time. Yep. I'm on the record with that story. Tracy Gold. Tracy Gold, of course, she had her own trials and travails, but she's doing great now. She's doing great. And Kirk is in the hands of God. He's rendered himself to Jesus Christ. Got some great movies out there, the one about saving Christmas.

Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. Check out that trailer. It's a wonderful, you know, I've seen all of Kirk's films, and Saving Christmas is wonderful because what Kirk does is he comes up with religious justifications for all the commercialism of Christmas. So if you're worried that Christmas isn't enough about Jesus, it's more about presence and so forth. Kirk has made this wonderful film that lets Christians be just as materialistic as they like and still feel as if they're honoring Jesus.

That's fantastic. So check it out this Christmas. Check it out every Christmas. Check it out in the library. Yes, you can check films out of the library. No, not according to Pauly Rusticals over here. Yep, that's right, two. What?

Two books. Just two, that's right. Yep. What about, did you say anything about films though? What if the film of the Pelican brief were in there? No. No, no. No, no.

You forgot it. Did they make a movie of the Pelican brief? Yes, yes, my dear boy. With Julia Robare's. Robare. And Denzel DC. Well, this is great casting. I'm certainly going to check that out.

Yeah, definitely. Well, what are you doing here? Well, you know, it's been a calendar year since the last time. It's not been a fiscal year? We're in the first quarter of 2016. When last I was... I barely remember. You were here a year ago? I was here a year ago around Valentine's Day and I interrupted a wedding. Gideon was about to marry Gary Marshall. Gary Marshall? What ever happened to that guy? Well I believe he was banished to his own dimension. Don't pretend you don't know. Because you asked him

what chicks will do when they see Greece Lately. Oh that's right. And if he answers he's banished to his dimension. This is all kind of ringing a bell. I'm just about to marry him, get all his money, live out my dreams in Bel Air. Right. Gated community. Right, yes. And so what- Gated community.

What was your horse in this race? You know, I hadn't been married in a while and I missed it. And so I interrupted the wedding and asked Gillian if she would consider marrying me. And you put your wife in a deep, your current wife in a deep freeze? No, no, no. No, I think, I mean. Are you married? I might be.

Honestly, it happens. That's not an issue for me. It happens a lot. That's not the issue. It happens a lot. I don't care if the man's married or not. Right, that's right. So, and what was, where did we leave off?

Well, Gary was banished to his own dimension and I asked Gillian if she would take a year to think about it. Wait, is Gary an alien? I don't know. Have we ever heard of him? Well, Gary was banished to his own dimension and I asked Gillian if she would take a year to think about it. Wait, is Gary an alien? I don't know. Have we ever talked about that? I don't know. Why would I know?

Gary Martian. I'm Alan Thicke. My favorite Martian. Wait, if it's his own dimension, that means he's not from this dimension? Well he could be, yeah, well I believe he's from the sixth dimension or something. I have no idea. You know, there's seven dimensions. Are there? What are they?

Well, there's a peanut butter. That's the one we're in right now. There's the peanut butter dimension. There's tipsy-topsy. Right, of course. Eggtown. Eggtown. Little Eggtown.

Little Eggtown, of course. Melon Bank. Melon Bank. How many is that? I believe we're at five. Oh, boy. What are the other two? Gary Wary. And which one are we in?

Peanut butter. We're in peanut butter, right. This is the peanut butter division. Anyway. Sorry, Gillian. You're exasperated with me. Gillian. What?

It's been a year and I hope you. It's been a year. It's been a year. I hope you have It's been a year. I hope you have made good on your promise to think about whether or not. A boat? Or a bout? A boat.

A bout. I was trying to make it so that she could understand. If you thought a bout, whether or not you would consent to be my latest wife. Why did someone whisper the word consent? He finds the very idea of consent to be laughable. Is that what love is about? Is Dr. Cosby back?

Isn't there a thing called a consent decree that the state can issue? Can we take it to the internet? A consent decree? Take it to the net. Take it to the net. It's a song parody, it's a theme song. Yeah, please weigh in.

What do you think a consent decree is? Something that the government issues. The state government, a consent decree is? It's something that the government issues. The state government, a consent decree. Why are you bringing it up? He said, you said consent. I don't know. Is there such a thing? I said the word consent.

What's a consent decree? And so your Cody, Cody, what do we got? A consent decree. Turn up your own mic. A consent decree is an arrangement or settlement to resolve a dispute between two parties without admission of guilt in a criminal case or liability in a civil case and most often refers to such a type of settlement in the United States. Sounds like something I'd like to be involved in.

I didn't follow any of that at all. That's like if I sue you for breaking up my wedding and we settle without you admitting any guilt, but you give me a lot of money. Now, to be fair, I may have interrupted the wedding, but it was Scott here who banished Gary to his own dimension. Who has more money, Scott or Alan? I mean, he banished himself. I think the answer to that is very clear. Very clear.

Look at our clothes. I didn't banish him to his own dimension. Yes, you did. You tricked him. No, I tricked him, but he banished himself to his own dimension. Why'd you do that? I don't think you can self-banish, can you? Well, I mean, you can fall for a trick.

What did you say? He's doing old Romeo again. Always with her Shakespeare quotes. Romeo. Well, I feel bad, I feel like I interrupted the question being asked and the answer being heard. Did I do the theme song yet? Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Juliet. Romeo. Romeo. Juliet.

Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo.

Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo.

Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. Romeo. willing to become my latest wife. I mean Gary's not around. Gary's not around. He's not even in this dimension. Yes, that's true. You have money. I do, lots. Are you currently writing any theme songs or are you out of that game? I'm always writing theme songs. Do you write with your son? Are you an accredited co-writer on any of his albums? We don't necessarily co-write together, but when he writes a song, I'm standing over his shoulder looking at everything that he's writing and I'll make fatherly noises like, mmm. Encouraging noises. Robin.

That's more admonishing. It can be taken either way. I let him interpret it. Guys, guess what? Fun fact. I let him interpret it. Guys, guess what? Fun fact. I learned today that Michael Schabon, the novelist, contributed lyrics to Mark Ronson's latest record. Interesting. That's a fun fact. And co-writer of Spider-Man 2. Oh, really? Yeah, speaking of Bugles.

So, um... Okay, here's the thing that's happened in the last year. Yep. Yeah, speaking of bugles. Duh duh duh duh. So, um... Okay, here's the thing that's happened in the last year. I realized that Gary Marshall isn't the wealthiest man in Hollywood. Who is the wealthiest man in Hollywood? Well, I know that George Lucas has north of four billion dollars. He gave all that away. No, didn't he?

He gave it to charity. He gave it to teachers. He felt that he... Teachers? Yeah. He felt that he had enough, he had more. Did he really? He gave it to teachers. Teachers? Yeah. He felt that he had enough, he had more money than he could ever spend in several lifetimes. So yeah. Are you kidding?

Is this a joke? No, it's not. Sorry. Was it part of a consent decree that he had to give his money away? What is that again? It's when you reach a settlement where you don't admit guilt, but you give somebody a lot of money. Well Gillian, can I give you some advice here?

Please. You've been angling for Gary Marshall for four years now. I love him. You guys, sure. But he's not around, you haven't done, you got one on the hook here. I'm right here, I'm very wealthy. A stick in the hand is better than two in the bush, right? That's the expression we all use.

So you may as well, and I'm... Much like paternally thick. I'm a licensed with the Universal Life Church. I can marry you guys if you want to right here and right now. I'm betting on myself this year, Scott. I think you should do it. You got one right here. I don't like them. Okay. Well, now we've come right down to it, I suppose. Gillian, is there any way I could make myself more likeable to you? Your voice annoys me. What's wrong with my voice? I don't know.

Can you try talking like someone else? Maybe... A higher octave? Do you do any impressions? Can you do a Gary Marshall impression? Let me try. Please call me Gary. How was that? That sounded like Ghost Gary. He's not a ghost.

He's from another dimension. Is he an alien? We haven't resolved this. I can't remember. None of us can speak to this because of course none of us are Gary Marshall. Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to lay out a plan for 2016. Okay.

Number one, I'm going to do. I'm going to lay out a plan for 2016. Okay. Number one, I'm going to jettison myself into the very upper-est most atmospheres of Hollywood. Sure, using love as a stepping stone. Using love as a stepping stone. Thank you, Paul, for your assistance. Oh, the show love, not the emotion. Well, maybe that too. Well, she's going to use that as a stepping stone.

That's tough. To use the emotion of love as a stepping stone to anything is risky. Well, maybe that too. Well, she's going to use that as a stepping stone. That's tough. To use the emotion of love as a stepping stone to anything is risky. Oh, really? Risky business. It's risky business. In delight. That's what the film Risky Business was about. A boot.

A boot. A boot. I got it, don't worry. Boy, three of those and you're banished to yourself. What? Is that true? Yep. Oh, no.

This is terrible to find out. Okay, I'm going to enter the upper atmosphere where the air is thin and the wine is fine. I'm going to adopt 10 dogs. Okay. I'm going to. Last stop there. Have a plan for them.

I'm going to. Are you going to make a race or fight? Wait, am I going to have sex with him and create sterile dog humans? That can't happen, woof. All right. Then I'm going to take all my skin off, turn it inside out, put it back on so you

can see my veins. And then I'm going- You're so vain. Yep. E. And then I'm going to, I'm going to find true love. I don't need you. I don't need you, Scott Ackerman.

And shortly I won't need you, Paul Rust. It's the year of the guilt. How long before you won't need Paul? You say shortly. Well, we have to do season two. Like the day it's released, you no longer need it? No, we're doing season two. Oh, you are.

It's been picked up for a second season. Okay. Well, we're going to have to do it. Well, we're going to have to do it. Congratulations. Well, I'm sorry, Alan. What a complex handshake that was. Well, don't be sorry, Scott, because when I heard that thing about turning the skin

inside out and wearing it, I think it took the bloom off the rose a little bit. I'm not quite as... Have you ever seen the inside of my skin? That's a fair point. No, I haven't. It's great. Luminous. I seem to remember something about... Bioluminescent? Like those weird fish?

That's what I look like on the inside. Like one of those fish in the deep, deep ocean that grows a flashlight on its head? Yes, I have one of those wiggly flashlights coming out of my head that I'm luring... Oh, is that what's on your chin? No, that's'm luring. Oh, is that what's on your chin? No, that's my pimple. You know what? I seem to remember something about Gary Marshall being banished to his own dimension for, I forget the time period, but, um, I remember that the one thing

that would lure him back out was saying his name 13 times. Mm-hmm. And... Who says it 13 times? Just anyone in the same room. Collectively or one person has to say it 13 times? No, it was... 13 in a row?

No, it wasn't even in a row. I'm trying to... Just a total of 13 times. And if somebody said, hey, Gary Coleman is the parade marshal, does that count? Does not count. And I hope that is a true statement, otherwise. I don't know that he's still with us, Gary Marshall. Oh, you said Gary Marshall.

I believe that was 12. I need to say Gary Marshall. Oh, wait. Okay, that was- And now I've just said Gary Marshall. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Gary! You just said Gary Marshall. Oh wait, okay that was- And now I've just said Gary Marshall. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Gary! That pop sound could only mean one thing!

What, what's going on here? Gary! What's happening? It's Barry! Where am I? Mr. Marshall! Yeah, please call me Gary! Of course, Gary! Gilly, how are you, sweetheart? Oh, you look wonderful! Thank you, I've spent some time in my own dimension.

Wait, I just want to, right off the bat. Gary, are you an alien? Let's not get into a bunch of questions. Let me ask you, how are you doing sweetheart? I felt a void in my heart and it's been filled now. Oh, that's very sweet. You're a sweet young lady who wants to marry me for my money and wishes for my immediate death. Who's this guy? I'm Paul. Paul, hi, how are you? Big fan, big fan, Mr. Marshall.

Don't have to please call me Gary. I love the Mork. Mork from Mork? Yeah. That's right Nanu Nanu Shah's body was a fun alien. And then he got married and they had a baby. Wait, it was their baby sterile? Who, Mirth? Played by Jonathan Winters? Yes, he was sterile because of course, they were two different species. They didn't go into him being sterile

quite as much as I wanted them to. No, you know what? It made it, it was mentioned in every table read that it was cut for the rehearsal draft the next day. But every, they bummed people out. They didn't like hearing that this old baby was sterile. The old baby part was hard enough to swallow. Every other aspect of it people were fine with.

They were totally on board. Jonathan Winters was a hero of Robin Williams. That's true. That's why they worked together on that show. That's very true. Let's stop talking about it before it gets sad. Well this is Alan Thicke, of course you remember Alan.

Yeah, hi Alan. Gary. Please call me Mr. Marshall. Oh, sick burn there. Sick burn. Is this an episode of sick burn? That was a sick burn. Hey, look, we have to take a break.

This is. Fine, what's happening? We're in the middle of a show. I've been here for one minute. We're in the middle of a show. Taking a break. I just got in for my own dimension. I know, but I'm sorry.

So you are an alien. Please, Gilly, the questions. I'm trying to find out about this break business. Well, we're in the middle of a show and we need to go to a commercial. Oh, fair enough. You took several of them during Happy Days. Of course.

That's right, which was filmed before a live studio audience. Of course, yeah. Well, Comedy Bang Bang is very similar in the sense of it's not. What's Comedy Bang Bang? OK, we'll be right back with more of it. Do do do do do. Pfft.

Ta ma ma ma ma ma. Do do do do do do. Pfft. Ta ma ma ma ma ma. Comedy Bang Bang, we're back here. Comedy Bang Bang. Okay. We'll be right back with more of it. Comedy Bang Bang. We're back here. Comedy Bang Bang. Oh, you know what it is now. I explained everything to you and I showed you all the episodes and you listened to all the podcasts during the break. But because you're from another dimension, you did it at super speed. Yeah. So now you know all the inside jokes.

You all know all the lore. Hey Nong Man. Hey Nong Man. We reset. Oh all the inside jokes. Exactly. You know all the lore. Hey, Nong Man. Hey, Nong Man. We reset. Oh, I think we need three. We need three for a reset. Yeah, Russ or Gilly, one of you? What?

One of you? What? No, I can't. I'm sorry. Okay, Gilly. What? Say please, hey, Nong Man. We need to reset.

Hey, Nong Man. Thank you. Okay. We're back here, of course, with Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs of Love on Netflix this Friday and we have Ellen Thicke over here. Hello. Of Mercifully Thicke. It's incontrovertibly thick.

Wondrously thick. My reality show. Right. And of course we have Gary Marshall, who's back from his own dimension. Hey, what's happening? Monday, Tuesday. Happy days.

That's right. Just Monday and Tuesday. Have you ever had a sad day in your whole life, Gary? It's been a long time. It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Led Zeppelin. Yep.

You know, we wanted to do an episode of Happy Days. I had plans for it to go right up to the 90s. Oh my gosh. And I wrote an episode where Pottsie goes to see Led Zeppelin in concert. In the 90s? So you wrote the- No, no, in the 70s.

We were gonna, I had it all scripted out you wrote all the episodes up to Yeah, yeah, of course. Mr. Marshall you didn't have a crystal ball. Did you you didn't know that Led Zeppelin would have broken up in the 80s He wasn't Preciate. No, hold on a second. He was writing these isn't it percent? Percent I say percent. Let me weigh in on this Who what are you doing? Why didn't you ever make a show about me weigh in on this. Present. Who? What are you doing? What? Why didn't you ever make a show about me? Who's this now?

It's Bill, the cop. What? Why didn't you ever make a show about me, Gary? What are you doing? Who, me? This, yeah, why, stop. Did I do that? Hey, Stan.

Sit on it. Is that? Hey, Nong Man. All right, hey, Nong Man? Hey, Nong Man. All right. Hey, Nong Man. Hey, Nong Man. All right. We've reset and Cause is gone.

Have we? You included Bill Costi in the reset? Of course. All right. It's your show. So, Pottsie and Led Zeppelin, that's amazing. Yeah. It was an episode set in 1970.

Pottsie goes to a Led Zeppelin concert. He gets to hang out with them afterwards and they have crazy escapades inspired by the book, After the War. It was an episode set in 1970, Potsy goes to a Led Zeppelin concert, he gets to hang out with them afterwards, and they have crazy escapades inspired by the book Hammer of the Gods. We couldn't do it because of animal cruelty problems. Oh boy. The network would not let it happen.

It was Scott fucking the dog in the background of every scene. That's right, right in the corner like a flip book. Is it just one frame in every frame of love? Yes. And you collect them throughout the season and then put them together. Gotta catch them all! Well, um, Gary. Dog catcher, sex man.

That's your show, Scott! Dog catcher, what? Dog catcher, sex man? Yeah. That's not a bad show title. Can I, what? Dog Catcher Sex Man? Yeah. That's not a bad show title. Can I write the theme for it? Yeah, go ahead. Five, six, seven, eight. Hold on, please.

That's terrible time for a theme song. Dog Catcher Sex Man. Dog Catcher Sex Man. He catches dogs. He's out there with a net. He catches dogs and he has sex with them. Then he has sex with them, all right. Yeah, and then he lets them go, presumably, so he can catch them again.

And that Benning's in it? Some people say I'm looking for love like it's my job and it is because I'm a dog catcher who catches dogs and I have some sex with them but a puppy's all a sterile cause we're two different species and that's what love is all about Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum What's, I don't know what that is No, you don't have a musical break after the lyrics, it's weird. That's the credits coming up

What? The credits coming up? Yeah, produced by Gary Marshall You want that? Dog Catcher's X-Man was filmed before a live studio had a heart The credits coming up. Yeah, produced by Gary Marshall. You want that? Dog Catcher's X-Man was filmed before a live studio had a heart. You want that on the very last note of the song. That's true, that is where they're going.

But if it's on Netflix, it can be a little bit longer. Oh, Netflix, so fancy. What do you think about Netflix, Gary? Sorry, I didn't wear my tuxedo. You're on CBS currently, you're doing just fine. I'm currently on CBS. Yes, you got the remake of The Odd're on CBS currently, you're doing just fine. I'm currently on CBS. Yes, you got the remake of The Odd Couple on CBS. That's right, that's right.

I'm raking it in, hand over fist. The diamond of network television. Working with Matthew Perry and the pansexual imp, that is Thomas Lennon. And you, I mean, you've been away for a year. Yeah. I know that must be the first thing you're gonna do when you... Gotta check in on the odd couple.

T.O.C. Gotta get in there. Gotta get in. I gotta say, cause here's what they do. If I'm not watching, they switch out the Trader Joe's snacks with big name brand things. So like a cereal bar that's like JoJo in the AM or whatever the fuck they call it. Oh, Gary.

Wow, Gary. Gary, Gary. Gary, did you swear before? Very profane. Oh, ho. I thought Santa walked in here. I get upset when I think about the money that's wasted. Then they put instead, they put those kind bars in there.

Like anyone who's catering anything and buying those kind bars, you're flushing money down the toilet I bet that when you're not there too they start switching and just like making it the even couple where they're too much like each other which by the way I mean these guys it's like the new odd couple with with love a lot of yeah well I just would understand this yeah nod couple do they write it like it's the even couple or do they change the name of the show and call it the even couple?

They do both. They write it so where Felix and Oscar walk in and go, hey, this apartment is exactly as clean as I would like it to be. And then the other person says, I agree. And then they change the title. What a strange thing to say out loud. This apartment is exactly as clean as I would like it to be. I agree.

Because that doesn't mean it's clean or dirty. Oh, that's true. So we don't know if it's two Felix's or two Oscars. Well, now that you're back, I mean, what are you going to do? I mean, your whole life's in front of you here. Well, I'm going to check on that. I mean, everybody's whole life is ahead of them. However long that is.

For any of us, it could just be an hour. How close to you are you two? But some people are closer to the end of their whole lives than other people. I guess that's true too, but some of us are not as young as they think they are. Oh, sick burn, Gare. That was a sick Byrne. It would be interesting if we all were exactly as close to the end of our lives.

Wouldn't that be interesting? Hold on a second, hold on a second. I feel like we should acknowledge that way after the word Byrne was spoken, this young lady, a full, I wanna say half a minute later, said, knee Sanders. Oh. Cause he is sick.

Sick Bernie Sanders. Meaning he used to have the name Sanders? Or is that nay? Nay as in, nay to this bitch. There we go. Oh Mr. Red, I would have liked a piece of that show. That would have been good. That was a big hit and I could have catered, saved some money on catering with Peter Potter.

We're in the Peter Potter dimension. Yes, the best. We are in the Peter, it's great to be back in the Peter Potter dimension. What dimension are you from by the way? Yeah. Have we talked about this before? I don't believe so.

Well, I hope not. I don't think we have. I'm from a dimension that you wouldn't understand. You know how many people think there's seven dimensions? Oh, right. That's how many people think there's actually. Alan Thicke thinks that. Yeah, there's seven dimensions.

Peter Butter, which we're in right now. Sure. Right? Tipsy Topsy. Tipsy Topsy, yeah. Melon Bank. Uh, uh, Eggtown. Little Eggtown.

Sure, that's five. I forget. There's two that I forget. Alan, you forgot them too. Yes, I forget. There's two that I forget. Alan, you forgot them too. Yes, I did. Why are those two so hard to forget? Remember. Remember. Knee Sanders. Remember Knee Sanders. That could be the title of the episode.

Remember the battle of Knee Sanders? Wounded Knee Sanders. I left knee Sanders? Wounded knee Sanders. I left my heart at wounded knee Burn. Oh boy. This has stopped being a human speech. Well. Anyway, I'm from an eighth dimension. You're from the eighth dimension.

That people don't know about. Oh, okay. Are you an alien? It's complicated. I'm from an eighth dimension. You're from the eighth dimension. What? That people don't know about. Oh, okay. Are you an alien? It's complicated. One of my favorite films. Oh, did you like that? Did you make that?

I did not make that. It was not themed around a specific day. That's more my bailiwick. I like to take a day. Are you directing these films, these day films? Yeah, he's got Valentine's New Year's Day, of course. Of course I'm directing them. I don't know. Are you directing these films? These day films? Yeah, he's been valentine's New Year's Day, of course. Of course I'm directing them! I don't know!

Are you kidding me? Is Hector Elizondo in every single one? Da da da! Then yes, I'm directing them! You know what I really loved of yours, Mr. Marshall? Please call me Gary. I'm sorry, Gary. Exit to Eden. Oh! A very saucy movie.

Now hold on a second. Kinky! That was a movie that I was in, but I did not direct. That was directed by my sister Penny! Penny! How much money does Penny have? Penny does okay. How many pennies?

You know, she has the money converted into pennies. She's very vain. She's bad. What a lucky penny! She's a maniac. Penny's with her own head on it? That's right. She has many copper statues of herself all over her estate.

Wow. Do you think Penny would marry me? As a matter of fact, she might. I don't want to spill any family secrets. Alright, alright. That's for another show. Yeah, this isn't that kind of show. Is that a t-shirt?

I don't know if that's a t-shirt. It's good though. You know what? That is a t-shirt. It's not that kind of show. Why haven't you done that yet? It's weird. I think it's the thing you say more than anything else. Well, what are your plans?

What are my plans? Well, of course, I'm going to direct some more movies. I'm going to keep making television. I'm going to keep collecting. I'm gonna keep collecting money for my existing television properties. And let's see. What about all the things you're hunting? Oh all the monsters! Yeah that's right. Oh I hope there's not any new monsters since I've been away. The Jersey Devil. Oh is that No! What's this little gremlin? I've been here the whole time!

Hey, it's Gizmo! Catch him! Ah! Gotta catch them all! Ah! He's singing the Gizmo song! Ah! Where's Hoyt Axton when you need him?

Ah! I'm Stripe! By the way, oh yeah. Oh no! Somebody got the gremlin wet! I forgot to mention we're taping this at 12 o' one a.m. Why are we doing this? I'm Stripe! Oh yeah. Oh no! Somebody got the... I forgot to mention we're taping this at 1201 AM. Why are we doing this?

Paul fed me! Did you do this? I did. I had some peanuts in my pocket. Boo, I have a peanut allergy. Oh, I'm sorry. I feel my throat closing up. Oh no!

Yes, yes, yes! Oh no, he was the closest to death! I'm changing my death! Oh my god! Bye! I'm doing a tenaflick! What? Oh, I feel my throat closing up. Oh no! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh no, he was the closest to death! I'm sharing my death! Oh my god!

Bye! I'm gonna get anaphylate! What a horrible thing! Bye! Oh my god! Yay! Oh boy, that was unpleasant to watch. Wow.

Is he still breathing? No, he's done. I put a mirror up to his mouth. Why do you have that little mirror? Well, you know, it's in case I see a vampire. What? Can you not see a vampire in a mirror? Vampires can't see themselves in mirrors.

So if you hold the mirror up and you can't see the reflection in a vampire, then you know it's a vampire. Wait a minute. Vampires can't see themselves, but we can see vampires in mirrors? No. Hold on a second. Listen, I'm trying to remember what I learned from the Underworld series of films.

Oh gosh, Len Weissman. Yeah, where's Len these days? Can we talk about Len Weissman? Sure. What about him? He's a friend of mine. Cupertino. He's a good, look, he's from Fremont, California. He went to Cupertino, huh? He's a good looking

guy in his forties. You've been gone for a year. Yeah. You haven't heard about what's going on. Oh, what happened? Gary, Gary, Gary, guess what? Is there some gossip? Hot goss coming in.

Some goss. A little sip. Get ready to choke down this hot goss. That's not very appealing. Get ready to choke on this sip. Choke down this hot goss. It burns on the way down and puts a hole in your stomach. Then don't tell me. He's getting divorced. Oh no, oh no, are you okay? Lannis

is divorcing Kate Beckinsale, the beautiful young actress. Yes. Who's going to star in the next underworld series of films? She is, She is! So they've worked it out where- Apparently an amicable split. Oh, that's weird. You know, Len, you seem like such a normal guy. A guy from Cupertino? From Cupertino High who has sex bodies in his house all the time.

Wait, I'm sorry. There's a dead body in the room and none of us are really talking about it. I mean, you know, death comes to us all, what are you gonna do? Will it come to you? Eventually, I imagine it will. But are you an alien? Now why are you so hung up on this question?

Because I don't inherit the bulk of your estate until you die, so if you're an alien who cannot die I don't... And she doesn't want, you know, your offspring or potential offspring to be sterile. Well now, Gilly. She doesn't want him to be shooting blanks. Who just walked in? Who was that guy? I'm not sure who I am, but I gotta go too because I'm a gremlin.

Hey, a gremlin's too in a new batch. Yes? These gremlins too had a new batch. Yes. These gremlins, they all developed personalities. Yeah. But... Hobbyist interests. Yeah, they all had defining characteristics.

Sure. Why did that happen? How come, what was different with this batch? I can't remember the film that well. It was a new batch. If you feed them vegan food, they develop personalities. Did that happen at the film? They were fed vegan food? I believe there's a lab and a scientist gives them different personalities with injections. Oh sure, sure,

sure, sure. Just like at birth, we're given personalities through injections. Yeah. They're called... Is that how you do it on New Dimension? And a lot of times your name is also your defining physical characteristic. Right, like if you have a stripe, you're called Stripe. But I would call him Mohawk if I was naming cats. Yeah, it's a little strange. Well, but a Mohawk is something that you make yourself. You know what I mean? What about a Fohawk?

Some of those dogs naturally have Mohawks. What dogs? Paul. I mean, Scott knows. Why are you gesturing at me and saying Paul? Scott knows. Those are his favorite dogs. Yeah, you know all about that stripe.

Since you've been on the show for four years, you can barely remember my name. He's on four years, once a year, like clockwork. Now what are these dogs? She says you know about this. Yeah, I'm having sex with ten of her dogs. Only ten! Oh, Gary, I'm turning my skin inside out. I thought we were talking about mo- what?

Why didn't you tell me this sooner? I'm turning my skin inside out this year too. Oh, that's a major turn on. Oh, you like it? Oh, I love the inside of people's skin. Is everyone in your dimension? Do they have reverse skin? Better not tell you now. Okay. Major turn on! Oh, you like it? Oh, I love the inside of people's skin. Are you kidding me? Is everyone in your dimension? Do they have reverse skin?

Better not tell you now. OK. When are you going to tell me? So later. Oh, OK. Thank you. Well, so are you guys going to get together or what? Gilly, here's the thing.

Lay it on me thick. How thick? Unquestionably. We've been, we've been having this crazy relationship, you know, on again, off again, Paul please. On again, off again, and you know it's this, I can't deny that you have a youthful vigor that is exciting to me and makes me feel young again. But I I also got acknowledge this part of our relationship where you just want my money and you pray for my death Yeah, that's a bit of a bit of a sticky wicket, but she's been honest about it She has Paul you make a good point. She has an honest front. Please continue to call me Gary

Everyone will die except for aliens. So that's why she's trying to figure out if you're... I said it already Scott. I'm not listening. So Gilly I gotta say that aspect of things... Please, go ahead. No, she can cough. I like when Paul coughs. It makes me sad. It hurts my feelings. I can't deny that after a while hearing somebody pray for your death

and actively root for it, it builds up. I gotta say, I think it's the end of the road for us. No, no, up and I gotta say, I think it's the end of the road for us. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, let me plead my case. Here's what- Sure. This is how breakups usually work.

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Like there's a perfect speech that you can say that'll make someone go, oh, wait a minute. I learned from scary movies. Hey, you know what? For all my movies, people critique them, whatever they say. Derivative, unoriginal. Okay, okay dear.

All right, all right. At least I never had a scene like that love actually where the guy creep as the cue cards and he's like, you're my best friend's wife and I love you. You know, whatever. The old cue card creep. And then she kisses him like, that's horrible. Yeah, terrible. Anyway, go ahead.

Here's what I want to say to you. A, number one, I realize that there are wealthier men than you, so it's not just about the money anymore. I could be going after George Lucas. She did figure out though that George Lucas gave most of his money away. He's gotta be making money off these new Star Wars movies. Yeah, but he's giving it away.

All of it? He sold Star Wars to Disney, whom he referred to as white slavers. And he tried to walk it back, but guess what? It's still out there. That's a weird thing that you said. And why white? I don't know. You're gonna have to ask him. Does he consider Star Wars to be white?

Somebody sent me this link and then it said, for the full context, watch the video. And I was like, I'm out. All I need is time. You sent him emails and texts in your dimension? My grandchildren are always sending me everything. Oh, okay, yeah. They want to keep me current.

Oh, that's very interesting that you have grandchildren. So does that mean Barbara is also an alien? Because otherwise your children with Barbara, Oh, okay, yeah. They want to keep me current. Oh, that's very interesting that you have grandchildren. So does that mean Barbara is also an alien? Because otherwise your children with Barbara, a human, would be sterile and you couldn't have grandchildren. First of all, I'm pleased that you remembered her name. Barbara is a human being. Currently in suspended animation.

Currently in suspended animation. Wait, so that means you're not an alien then? I never said that. So you are mortal. I never said that. So you are mortal. I never said that either. Hmm. All right, well here's my case. Okay, I'm going to turn my skin inside out this year.

You love that. Ooh, I do like that. I've realized this is the year of Gilly. I'm betting on me. This is the year of Gilly? I thought last year was the year of Gilly. Didn't you talk about this before? Did I?

I think so. Haven't we all talked about all of this before? Paul being here is new. Thanks for freshening things up. Was my giggles? I like your giggles. It's good. Hey, on every show that I do, I have a giggler. I always make sure there's somebody there who keeps it

Yeah, don't forget to check out everything I've ever done. It's all around, you can find it easy, and it's all good. But no one can do it at super speed like you can. No, that's true, but thankfully Netflix has this setting where you can watch everything at the same time. So just watch all 18 seasons of Happy Days concurrently. Maybe mix it up with Laverne and Shirley. All right. What do I want to put? Of course, Alan Thicke is dead.

He can't plug anything. It's too bad. It's a real shame. I'll just plug the Comedy Bang Bang TV show. We're plugging away. We're in the middle of filming and we'll be on in a few months weird Al Yankovic Of course my bandleader my new bandleader will be debuting soon and what's that? Weird Al Yankovic. Did you know him? Yeah, I'm familiar

Well, he's the new band you've been away for a while kid Cutty came and went in the year that you were here. I don't understand anything that's happening. Okay, sorry, nevermind.

Okay guys, this has been an amazing show. An amazing opportunity for me as well. Some real friends, some good friends. Okay guys, this has been an amazing show. Yeah. It has been. Yeah. An amazing opportunity for me as well. Some real friends, some good friends. Yep. Some fun times with friends. Some good pals, fun times, good pals.

There was a death. One death, unfortunate. That's very unfortunate. Just by the mere mention of me saying I had some peanuts in my pocket. Yep. It brought down a legend. That's right. You never even opened this.

I didn't even know he ate this. You could have been lying. Just a mere mention. He decided to die. Is that what happens in Final Destination? People die from fear? No. Well, there's two schools of thought about that.

Some people, you could look at the movie as it's a manifestation of death. You know, it's a horror film. And then there's a psychological aspect to it you could say these people they they get so hung up on the idea of death that they they fail to actually live and so their lives are like a walking death this director always talking about theme there's a lot of underlying things you don't know about themes Alan Thicke he'sicke, he's dead. He sure is, it's sad. It's very sad, but at least you have a new love theme. Why did we continue doing this show with a dead body in the room? I mentioned it earlier! It's a little weird. People told me to move on. We never stopped and we did move on. Well guys, that's gonna be it. Closing thoughts?

Everybody should just be friends with each other. Everybody should just be friends with each other. Everybody should just be friends with each other. Everybody should just be friends with each other. Everybody should be friends with each other. Alright, see you next time, thanks, bye!
