This is totally different. So here we are at the beginning of March, March 6th, and third month, certainly of the year.

Starting point is 00:04:11 from the comeback. Hello, hello, hello. Oh, okay, interesting. Gillian, a lot of times get stopped, either are you Valerie Cherish? Valerie Cherish. Or are you Snoop Dogg? That would be an interesting game to play, Valerie Cherish or Sno are you Stoop Dog?
Starting point is 00:04:25 That would be an interesting game to play. Valerie Cherish or Snoop Dog. Right. Okay, let's play a little bit of it here, okay? I have some quotes here, famous quotes, and you're going to tell me, Valerie Cherish or Snoop Dog. It ain't no fun if the homies can't get none or have- Valerie.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Definitely, Valerie Cherish. Hello, hello, hello. Paul? Gonna go with just using the last minute, two minutes. I'm gonna say Snoop Dogg. Trick question, it's both. They've each said hello to each other. Three times. Three times, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Not three times in a row, but they've seen each other three separate times. They've said hello. They said hello once, and then they've combined them in their minds. Scott, also, you were talking about March earlier. Sure, yeah, I had a big run on March. Love that March chunk, man.
Starting point is 00:05:24 The thing I'm worried about right now is all those lions out and about. Yeah, well, because it came in like one. Yeah. But, oh, I'm looking forward to them lambs. Ooh, get those lambs in here. Lions, get out. Lambs, come on in. Um, guys, you are the stars. You're the titular.
Starting point is 00:05:44 S-T-A-R-Z. Yes, that's right. This is on stars, right? So check it out. You guys are the titular love of the show. Correct. Correct. You guys... Gus and Mickey Love. You guys are in love on the show.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Mm-hmm. In a relationship based on love. Mm-hmm. Fueled by love. What if it wasn't us two, though? What if love was actually about the love between an apple and an apple corer? Sure. What if it were about agape love?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Does an apple love an apple corer? I mean, it's really sort of like... It's phallic. ...being violated by. That's true, I guess. Someone's sticking something into the. But it's taking the middle of you out. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Hey, if you do it right, that's the way to do it. Speaking of which. A baby, you take it out of the middle. Yes. Speaking of which, Gilly, you are returning to the show after a year, actually 13 month absence on the show. You were last here, I believe February 14th-ish.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Pre-Lion. By the way, speaking of which, did you see that movie Lion? No, I didn't. They should follow it up with a movie Lamb, shouldn't they? I mean, if Mr. Hollywood's listening. Ms. Hollywood, thank you so much. Come on, sexist much, Paul?
Starting point is 00:07:11 God, Gillian, I'm so, so sorry. Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood. Gillian, you haven't been back to the show in a good 13 months at this point, and a lot's been going on. Yes, it's been a rough. It's been a rough time of it. We certainly don't have to bring it up, but you're in-
Starting point is 00:07:33 I feel like you just did. I did, so hey, why pussyfoot around it right now? You're in mourning. I'm in double mourning. Mm-hmm, a dual mourning. A lot of people don't get to be in mourning once. Yeah. You know, they die before all of their loved ones.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You can do it if you fly New York to LA. Very good. Early morning flight. What? Is this what it's like working on Love Together? Yes. Yes. I know it was a little like what it was like working on Bang Bang with you.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Except we would applaud and thank you every time you made a joke like that. When I took something out of the garbage and ate it for the amusement of a room. Did you do that? I don't believe I was there that day. Yeah, I took food out of the garbage and ate it. What was it? Trying to crack up people. Something slight, I think fruitish.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Like it wasn't like a cord apple. No. And too fruitish. Speaking of the odds of March. She's gonna, yeah, no, I remember, yes, I make a lot of jokes like that and Gillian will go, which is the response you really want, right? But then I think what time you said to me,
Starting point is 00:08:51 early on, this is very early on. Early on in the process. Early on in the process. She said, when you say those things, do you think you're being funny? Ha ha ha! I was like, is that rhetorical? Honest question that I don't remember asking. How are you funny, Gillian? Like, what's your sense of humor like?
Starting point is 00:09:15 How am I funny? Yeah. If you had to describe your sense of humor to someone. Vicious. Really? Yeah. I'm a real roastmaster general. You're like roastmaster admiral. Let's hear one of your zing. You're sardonically irreverent.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Dibbick shmibbick, I want more ham. If you had to roast Paul here. Uh-oh. I'd stick a spit through him and put him over a fire. Now we got her doing it. Yeah. You'd core her doing it. Yeah. You'd core the middle out of him. I was thinking about this today.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Not for the first time, but it did pop in my head. Popped in your head, yes. Is a roast a twist on the toast? That's interesting. I think it might actually be. I think like, oh yeah, let's do a toast to this person. Instead, let's do a roast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But then roast has kind of come to mean, you know, like what it is, like actually roasting someone with jokes. How did they get to roast? You know, did they, you know what I mean? Like what I just did is like, instead let's do a roast. Like a roast is already a thing. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Right. The first guy who said that, they're like, what? Because they rhyme? I think you're probably right that it's burning him, right? Except burning wasn't necessarily a slang term for insulting someone until recently, right? That's true. And you wouldn't necessarily want to burn a roast.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah, that's true. Maybe you want to get a nice burn on the outside, but let it remain tender on the inside. You know what? I'd like to see a nice burn on the outside, but let it remain tender on the inside. You know what? I'd like to see a Comedy Central toast. Yes, where it's just like nice genuine statements about how great someone is. About how great Donald Trump and William Shatner are. And Rob Lowe. How do you guys like to eat your steak?
Starting point is 00:11:00 Medium rare. I'll say it like how Gandhi says it in Gandhi II, the spoof in UHF. Right. I'll have a steak. Medium rare. Oh god. Both Nick Weiger and I have admitted that the first time we ordered steak medium rare, we did it because Gandhi did in Gandhi II. Really?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you, you... What is UHF? Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you, you... What is UHF? Oh my god. Al, get in here. Get in here, Al. You don't know what UHF is. No.
Starting point is 00:11:32 You have a wonderful night ahead of you. Download it, stream it, Blu-ray, whatever you need to do. Watch this film. Just get it in your eyeballs. You're gonna hear how Gandhi orders a steak. Is this like Kentucky Fried movie? That's something men also talk about. Wait, you think that women don't like UHF?
Starting point is 00:11:53 I've never heard a group of women discuss it. That is very reductive, I have to say. There are women all over who love the movie UHF. I'm sure there are. Just not women the way you like to see women? Like pretty ladies who all hang out together talking about clothes? That's what you consider to be what females do?
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yes. Okay, good. Me too. Tell me what's in store for us in season two of Love. Okay, I'll take this question. Oh boy. You're going to see a wide range of character actors from Los Angeles, California. First, they had to go to Allison Jones' office.
Starting point is 00:12:33 She put them on tape. They read scenes. They were given adjustments. They did a second take. Then they were uploaded to the website for, and they're called Selects, the best ones. And which take usually is better? It's usually take two unless someone really comes in with a really great take on the character. There's multiple ways to use the words take. Do they get adjustments if they come in with something really great? Yes, because sometimes people don't they they worry that the actor will feel like they're not in the running if they don't get an adjustment.
Starting point is 00:13:01 So getting adjustments is actually good. That's good. I've always said, I'm not going to do that. And I walk out. Oh, that's why you- I'm not going to listen to your Bureau of Adjustments. The only way I can get through the door is if I'm wearing a certain special hat. You guys remember that plot line in Adjustment Bureau? Yeah, you know the movie that all the men talk about,
Starting point is 00:13:21 the Adjustment Bureau. This is another one of those men movies. Men. I realize that happens. Yeah, but selects. You know the movie that all the men talk about, the Adjustment Bureau? This is another one of those men movies. Men. Yeah, the selects. Okay, so they put the selects on the website, and then Paul and everyone watches them on their laptops on set.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Oh, so you guys pick who gets the parts. That's good to know for the people who don't get it, you personally are rejecting them. Paul said no to you. And then they come to set. I always had a sort of a lot of deniability in that of like, oh no, I don't actually like cast the people. Well, what I do is if I see somebody and I don't like them,
Starting point is 00:13:53 you know, I'll, you see this on set all the time. Yes. I'll go, I'll pinch my nose, like, and then go like the stinky hand, like, ooh, they stink. Will you say like anything like P.U. or anything like that? I'll sometimes say P.U. or U.P. Yeah. Upper peninsula, that's where the Michiganders in the audience.
Starting point is 00:14:15 And sometimes I'll be holding my nose and wave my hand, but then I'll hold up a big stinky fish. Oh, really? And I'll go, I'd rather eat this. And I'll eat a stinky fish. You then eat the stinky fish. Oh, really? And I'll go, I'd rather eat this. And I'll eat a stinky fish. You then eat the stinky fish. We have to take a lot of diarrhea breaks for Paul on set, but the bit's worth it. So when you watch Love, season two, out March 10th, just imagine after every scene, after Paul's coverage, he's going and taking just massive diarrhea blasts. Yeah, sometimes in the scene. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Mid-scene. You can see it in my eyes because they turn brown. Mm. OK, so people are auditioning cut to? They're on set. They're on set. Yeah, and then last season they would go to Sony, where we no longer shoot.
Starting point is 00:15:03 So don't show up there returning guest stars. This is a PSA. And, you know, it's really fun because we'll do it as scripted, but then, you know, they really get the freedom to play around. How much is improvised? 4% is improvised. We have to really be very diligent about that, because Netflix only allows 4% improv.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah, there are laws on Netflix about that. Otherwise, it's a totally different guild rate. Fringes, you know, up the wazoo. Impromptu code. Uh, 3, 6, yes and 5. Mmm. Moving on. Yes. So, great. So that's so people can watch actors acting in something, basically. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh
Starting point is 00:15:49 Do you want more details? Background yeah, I mean tell them about the grips they want to hear about no no no I think I know we all know how that Where are you guys on the call sheet though? Paul? Are you number one? No, you're not who is oh? Gilly you're number one big G, why are you giving me that face? She's got pull. Listening audience, I did not like that face that Scott Ackerman just pulled. I don't know, I would say the person who kind of
Starting point is 00:16:12 co-created the show who's starring in it would be number one. No, I would think it's the person who's a beloved TV actor and not a guy from, I don't know, it's sort of like. UHF? You know, when I saw... I saw Belux... UFC? I saw the play Beluxy Blues with Ted Lange, right?
Starting point is 00:16:30 And he played the drill sergeant. Drill sergeant, supporting character at best. And he took the last bow because he was on the love boat. I don't like it, I don't like it. You should really secede your number one on the call sheet status to Paul over here for season three. I will for a raise. Okay, forget it.
Starting point is 00:16:51 But you're never gonna guess who number seven is. Oh, let's hear it. We'll find out season two. Oh really, do you guys talk about it? No, we flash the call sheet at the end of each episode. Hey, I know you guys are wondering about it. Okay, so that's what we've covered it, right, love? Watch it, just watch it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Just watch it. Oh, it's about two... No, we get it. I know what it is. No, they don't deserve to hear your pitch. We're running out of time, but anyway, you guys smooch. I had to come on and sell some bottles of Coke, man. Had to sell that Tide.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You guys smoochin' it. So anyone who has some sort of purion interest in watching you guys smooch, they should watch it. Yeah, you smooch heads. Smooch heads. Smooch patrol. Hey, what about- Ready to, get ready to rocket raw.
Starting point is 00:17:39 What does that mean, jerk off? Yeah. Oh, okay. What if your fans of the TV show love were called the smooch Patrol? That's not bad. That was good. I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:50 So like in conventions and stuff, he's like, hey, Smooch Patrol, they're coming out here. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. I like it. All right, so watch it this Friday. And we're running out of time in this segment. We just have time for, of course, our favorite feature here with Paul.

From the twisted mind of Paul Rust comes planet Earth. I've already felt like I've been living in the twisted mind of Danny DeVito, you know, watching movies like

Throw Mama, is it don't throw mama or throw mama They want to throw mama from the train don't later on spoiler alert well throw or my mom will jump off the train so new no-no So this is something you're making fun of him for imitating Gandhi in UHF.

Oh, I saw a documentary where Latoya visited Bubbles. Oh really? But I don't know if it was pre or post. But she visited him at his house.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Did Peckle Jackson? Or was he at work? He was at a, like a zoo, it was sad. It would be really sad for Bubbles to go from this wonderful life of living with Michael Jackson in a palace, all that you really, you know, everything that's expected of you... Everything monkeys want. Yeah, monkeys really like the rich life.
Starting point is 00:28:50 But really, the only thing that's expected of you that's kind of a bummer is you have to watch Michael Jackson doing these weird things to people. But, you know, other than that, it's like a great life, right? You know that song, you know, The Way You Make Me Feel? Mm-hmm. That was inspired by Bubbles. Jared Slauson Really?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Jared Slauson Because Bubbles was, you know, he was a chimp, so he's eating a lot of bananas. And he's just throwing the refuse around. Jared Slauson Sure. Jared Slauson And Michael Jackson was walking by and then he went, he slipped and he went, I slipped on a banana peel. And he was like, wait a minute, that's got a hook to it. That's got a real stanky hook. Slipped on a banana peel. Hoo!
Starting point is 00:29:30 Am I here as a prank? Knock me off of my feet. Now, baby. Yeah. So then he loved the tune and he loved the rhyme. Why is this still happening? The stig I thought of in first grade. What's happening? This thing I thought of in first grade.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Did you ever, but the serious question, if Al Yankovic had come out with a song, I slipped on a banana peel, would you have lost your mind? I would have called up the old lawyers in three words, Scott, litigate, litigate courtroom. That's where you do it.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yeah, that's where I would do it. So now big junkie bubbles. Yeah, hi, still here. You basically take big vats of soup. It's very simple. I use various tureens of soup, stews, and chowders, and I, using my bubble wand, I make very complex, intricate bubbles that are big and chunky. Are the chunks inside the bubbles or on the exterior of the bubble?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Both. Wow. Is there, by the way, what's your favorite chowder? New England clam. So by the end of the parties, they're just a film of soup on the floor? Yes, it's very slick and dangerous. And these are hot soups as well.
Starting point is 00:30:55 They're piping hot. It makes the best bubbles. Right. Where do you do these outdoors? Children's parties. Children's parties. I should do them outdoors. I don't know why parents don't get the message. I like it.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Have you ruined furniture and rugs? Furniture got ruined, but I wouldn't say I ruined it. Well, what about yourself? Your own? You get any physical harm? Look at my arms. They're covered with burns. Exposed veins.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That's why I wear my tux... Exposed veins. Exposed veins. That's why I wear my tux. Yeah, exposed veins. Exposed veins. I burned right through the skin. Right through the epidermis. That's right. Right through the dermis. That's right.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Here's my veins. That's why I wear long sleeves. Hey, it must be easy to get high, though. Yeah, dude. You just puff a little bit on his veins. What? One of those shows? P bit on his veins. What? Puff on his veins?
Starting point is 00:31:46 On his own veins? He meant I could inject myself with heroin. When did you get this idea for making chunky soup bubbles? When I was a child, I was fascinated by piping hot soup. You like to eat it? No, I like to look at it. My mother was very cross with me. Eat your soup, it's going cold, she would say.
Starting point is 00:32:13 But you didn't want to eat it, or you were just fascinated by the look of it. I wanted to watch the bubbles for as long as they were around. How long does it take for a soup to cool? To where no bubbles are formed? To where there are no longer bubbles, yes. You must know this to the second.
Starting point is 00:32:29 The soup has to be hot to form a bubble? Ah, kill him. Yes, have you ever eaten soup before? No. You've never eaten soup before. You should try it. From what I understand, it's pretty good. Why are you telling me to try it?
Starting point is 00:32:42 You don't eat it. Well, that's because of my job. Well, maybe I'm going to open up a competing soup bubble business. Really? This is interesting. I will call it Liquid Meal Spheres. LMS? Yep. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:03 This is, I gotta say, I have zero competition in this business. As far as I know, I'm the only person who makes big chunky bubbles out of soups, soups, and chowders. And something about this is very exciting to me. You know what's interesting? It's, yeah, you have, I was almost going to say there's no reason to even ask who are you going to call, because you're the only person to call, but it makes me think of the Ghostbusters song.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Why is he even asking that question of who you're gonna call? There's only one Ghostbusters, right? I think he's asking in a rhetorical, and if I may, condescending manner. You really, Ray Parker Jr. Of course you're going to call Ghostbusters. Well maybe you call a priest. Maybe you call a religious leader. Maybe you call... But they're not gonna solve the problem. Well, they could do perhaps an exorcism.
Starting point is 00:33:44 The Ghostbusters are the only ones who are going to clean up the town in that manner. We don't know. I don't know. We don't know. That's true. Anyway, back to this, you guys, are you interested, you're truly interested
Starting point is 00:33:56 in the Soap Bubble game. What's your name again, dear? Soap Bubble. Mike. Your name is Mike? Yep. What's your last name? P. Mike P.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Is that P-E-E? P-E-A. Oh, okay. I like split pea soup. So you have tried soup? No, I like the color. Who likes the color of split pea soup? It's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:34:23 It reminds me of the rich loamy earth. I love loams. And legumes. What's your favorite loam? Silt. It's tough to beat. So, I mean, you're actually excited by this though, Big Tunky Bubbles? Oh yeah, I've never had any kind of competition.
Starting point is 00:34:47 I've always been unique in my field, which is a blessing and a curse. Obviously, all the money for soup bubbles goes to me. Some would say competition is what spurs people to achieve more than they would normally have a team. Innovate. Exactly! It's like I would have a competitor who would spur me to greater creative heights just like you. I don't know who that would be for you.
Starting point is 00:35:10 You're right. Bazooka Joe Comet. You know what, Petey? I don't know why I keep having you on. I don't either! We have a very contentious relationship. I know. What's your biggest gig to date? very contentious relationship. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:23 What's your biggest gig to date? Well, I did the Just For Kids festival in Montreal. Yeah, people can hear that episode from Montreal. I was savagely reviewed in the local paper. Yeah, he read the review on it. Oh, don't do that. It was pretty terrible. Petey, you must have endorsements
Starting point is 00:35:45 just knocking your door down. The Campbell's. You would think that all manner of soup companies. Oh, Campbell's. Yeah, that's a big one. Hunts. They're number two, they try harder. But you don't because.
Starting point is 00:36:01 No, I think it's because of how often people have been scalded by the bubbles. Well, you also don't, you don't because... No! I think it's because of how often people have been scalded by the bubbles. Well, you also don't... you don't like to eat soup. So what are they advertising with you? Yeah, you'd be coming from a position of ignorance. I did have one meeting one time with someone from Del Monte, and they said, what's your favorite soup? And I said, I wouldn't eat soup on a bet!
Starting point is 00:36:24 And that was the end of that meeting. Yeah, the scalding is a big problem. Canceled my progress-o appointment later that day. They canceled your progress-o appointment? How could they do that? I did. I figured I'd see where this is headed. These soup guys like you to really stroke them.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Ha ha ha ha. Oh. So Big Junkie Bubbles- Stroke it. Stroke them. Ha ha ha ha. Oh. So big chunky bubbles. Stroke it. Stroke it. So big chunky bubbles, what are you up to now? I mean, obviously I haven't seen you in a few months. Have you been out there entertaining the children
Starting point is 00:36:56 or you're always an innovator. You always have things going on. It's been a really fallow period for all big chunky bubbles. Yeah. I haven't had any gigs. Kids not having birthdays in these months? They seem to be having birthdays,
Starting point is 00:37:09 but I don't seem to be hired to entertain them. What's your website like? What's your online presence? Do you have a landing page? I do have a landing page, thanks to Squarespace. Sure. I didn't even know what it was or what it did, but it came for free. And I was like, all right, good.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It's free with the service. So yeah, what's it like though? Is your phone number there? Is there a way to contact you? I mean, I tried to do something artistic with it. And so my website, my official homepage is basically, it's a treasure map to the information. That's the treasure treasure map. To the information. That's the treasure at the end of the trail. Okay, and how do people solve it?
Starting point is 00:37:50 Stroke that treasure. Why do you keep saying stroke? Because treasure trail. I just thought of dicks. I don't know. Are you constantly thinking of dicks? Not always, but sometimes. So how do you solve the treasure map? What, I mean, is it, uh... There's a list of three dozen instructions. Oh boy, that's way too much.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I advise people to print it up. People don't want to print up a website in order to solve a riddle. Well then they don't want to contact me. Well, they don't, and you were seeing what's happening. No. Your business is just lying fallow. I'm an artist and I try to make everything I do artistic.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Well, something shouldn't be artistic. Something should be simple, right? What? Name one thing that shouldn't be artistic. Sometimes soup. Sometimes the most simple of soups. A broth. What do we think of broths?
Starting point is 00:38:43 Broth is like the precursor to a soup. Boom. It's like what a soup could be, but you have to put a bunch of stuff. It's just, you know, water. Basically. It's chicken flavored water or whatever. At what point does something become a soup from a broth when you put one thing in it? Like a stone? Yeah, anything. Like if you put some chicken in it is it then is it a soup? If you put one piece of chicken is it a chicken soup? No.
Starting point is 00:39:11 How many? It needs multiple pieces of chicken. That's a garnish if it's just one piece of chicken. So two pieces of chicken. Minimum five. You know your soups. I have to admit. I do know my soups inside and out. Wait, I'm having an idea here. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:39:27 When I was a child, someone hired a clown for my classmates' birthday party. How original. But hear me out. At the end of the party, he revealed to the birthday girl's grandmother that he was also a stripper. So I was thinking maybe you could... What? Yeah, this is a true story.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Hold on. In front of the children, you revealed this or... I heard it. And how did this come up? Did you say, oh, BTW, I also could end the day by stripping right now if you were to pay me extra? Granny, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Okay. Did he call her granny? End the day by stripping right now if you were to pay me extra. Granny, yes. Mm, okay. Did he call her granny? Did she take him up on it or? That? You don't know. I don't know. Mm-hmm. I went home.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Okay. I kind of thought that he was going to end up stripping at the same party. That's extra. He was going to be instantly engaged in a second capacity. I, uh, I met that guy before, that clown once. Really? Yeah. And, uh, I was like, how do you figure it out? Like you got to do two different things.
Starting point is 00:40:38 It seems like it's complicated. There must be a lot of paperwork. And he said, no, it's very easy. I just go, you want the bozo or the blowjoe? He would be the one receiving the blowjoe. So not a lot of paperwork then. Zero. So, but Gilly, why were you, why did you bring this up?
Starting point is 00:40:58 Well, I think that you should really expand your notions of your operation here. Well, for your information, miss, I'm not only a bubble artist. That is my primary art, it's true. But at the end of every party, I let any grandmothers know. By the way, I also can sculpt things out of meat. Sculpt out of meat? Yeah. That's great. I'm not trying to stand in the way of your meat sculptures. Good, cause you can.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I would simply suggest that in addition to offering soup bubbles at parties, you have a clown there. He could really... Wait, you want to find this clown who's a stripper? Is that what I'm getting at? You're just to find this clown who's a stripper? Is that what I'm getting at? You're just looking for this clown that's a stripper that excited you so much when you were a kid. You've been searching for this clown ever since.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Been thinking about it nonstop. Okay, look, no, I want to hear about the... Nonstop. I want to hear about the meat sculptures. You make meat sculptures. I take the biggest hunk of meat I can find. How big are these hunks of meat that you usually find? biggest hunk of meat I can find. How big are these hunks of meat that you're usually finding?
Starting point is 00:42:07 Like a rack of ribs or what are you doing? No, like a side of beef. Side, a full side of beef. If I can get my hands on one, sure, but it's expensive. Right, so you're bringing these. You're not saying, hey, what meat do you have around the house? Well, they don't always want the meat sculpture, so it'd be foolish for me to bring my own meat there
Starting point is 00:42:25 every time. Right, OK. So I usually ask, if you happen to have a side of beef, I'd be happy to make a sculpture for you. And what kind of thing can you make out of a side of beef? You ever seen the Eiffel Tower? I have. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I went to Paris. I stayed right there in the middle of Paris. Scott, forget it. Forget it? Paris. Scott, forget it. Forget it? Paris. Oh, Paris. Great. Was that a play on the famous movie everyone knows?
Starting point is 00:42:54 You're on fire, Paul. Everyone's favorite Billy Crystal, Deborah Winger movie? I really wondered what it would look like if this... I thought that was hard. We'll always have Paris. That's just the saying. Mmm. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Eiffel Tower, you saw the Eiffel Tower. I did see the, I'm remembering now I saw the Eiffel Tower. It was an Eiffel. Is there a gas leak in here? I don't know what's going on right now. I'm so happy. Like a virus, it spread to Gilead. So look, so you make the Eiffel Tower.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yes! Okay. I can't be reset everything I ever say. Well, all you said was you ever heard of it. We go up down this laughy taffy road and then you come back to me and you're like, what are you all about again? Ah, that's the whole show.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Every time. Yes. Who would listen to this? What if you had a dog that also made bubbles but they were fart bubbles? Getting back to my earlier point. Are you looking for ideas? Is that what this is? He doesn't have any work! Is this like Shark Tank? We're supposed to be pitching you things? Why are you mad at me? I thought that you came in here wanting to talk about something. I did and then this one keeps telling me first she's gonna be my competition, then she's pitching me ideas. I gotta involve all these other people and animals. Do you have a pet, by the way?
Starting point is 00:44:16 I used to have a dog. Oh, what happened? Can you take a guess what? Died? Yeah. Wait, but from soup? Yeah. Oh no. from soup? Yeah. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Dogs love meat soups. They love it. Yeah. They love nothing more than meat. It gets them crazy. And they love, they love, they love some vegetables too sometimes. Yeah, sometimes, I mean, some dogs just eat anything you put in front of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:39 And so what happened? Well, I was practicing a new bubble. Oh, the bubbles are in shapes of things that exist already or just in strange oblong shapes that look cool. There's only so many shapes you can make a bubble go into. Well, you could do like a Mickey Mouse where it's
Starting point is 00:44:57 like, oh, one big bubble and then two bubbles on top of it. I've done it. Right, right. Do you get sued by the Walt Disney Corporation if you do a Mickey Mouse soup bubble? They've tried, but I say, here's the thing, I always say, oh, it's just a coincidence,
Starting point is 00:45:11 that wasn't supposed to look like that. It's their fault for making Mickey look like something. That's right, yeah, I say, how come nature's not suing you for Mickey Mouse looking like three bubbles together? But no mouse looks like Mickey Mouse, so nature can't sue Walt Disney Corporation. Exactly, and that's why they don't probably. So you're making a new bubble and it exploded on your... It looked like a cat head.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Oh no, that's... I made as close as I could two triangular bubbles on top of a spherical bubble. Wow. My little dog. Just chased after it. Damocles, he went crazy for it. Damocles, oh. He landed right in the vat of soup.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Oh no, oh. It was terrible, it smelled delicious. You didn't eat the soup after that. Of course not. Okay, okay. He never eats soup, Scott! Okay. Two reasons not to, I don't like soup,
Starting point is 00:46:04 and also my dog was in there. Oh, so just cooked right up, huh? He cooked himself right up. And as a tribute to him, I used that same soup with Damocles in it at my next gig. Oh no. A lot of people didn't agree that the soup smelled delicious. Some people thought it smelled like a charred dog.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Well, yeah. Like, that phrase came up a lot during the show. It's interesting that you think that it's delicious, though. It smelled delicious to me. That's what smells delicious to you. Well, look, my olfactory senses are not the best. I think it's from so many scaldings from exploding soup bubbles.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah. Yeah. So, Big Junk exploding soup bubbles. Yeah, yeah. So, big chunky bubbles. Yeah. Why are you here? Well, you know, I'm putting myself out there. Oh, really? As you know, my wife died. You probably forgot.
Starting point is 00:46:57 No, I remember you told me. Oh, you finally remember? I mean, I don't remember a lot of you. Three times I've met you. Twice you had to make me tell you the story of my wife dying. Tell me again though, because... No! I meet a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:47:12 It's hard to remember the details sometimes. Here's some new people I haven't met before. Can you guess how my wife died? Oh, I... Soup! Yeah, that's right. It was a bubble accident, of course. Mm-hmm. She didn't know to steer clear?
Starting point is 00:47:27 It's not that she didn't know to steer clear. It's that what I was working on was a particularly... Look, this is a matter of public record. My wife is not to blame in her death. It's my fault. Yeah, we're implying it is your fault. I never said it wasn't! We don't need to imply. We can just say it. You think my either I never accused my wife
Starting point is 00:47:49 of doing suicide by soup? How much money you got? I beg your pardon. What a bold question. Scott, I know where this is going. I know where this is going. Ease up. What are you trying to say, big chunky bubbles?
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm a widower, as you know, and it's been several years, and I think I'm ready to put myself back out there on the market and maybe even find a mom for my stupid old kids. How many children do you have? I got three kids. How old are they? How are they now, since the last time we've spoken? Yeah. I'm gonna say...
Starting point is 00:48:30 The twins, Robbie and Bobby. Sure. By the way, aren't they both just named Robert? No! We've been over this! Roberta and Robert, it could be if it's a boy and a girl. Could be, isn't. It's Robbie and Bobby those are their names How old are they now? 11 okay, and the then you're in tag tag yeah, yeah, you were Howard Tag is tag is the one that you are not that fun. We caught him
Starting point is 00:48:58 I'm not crazy about any of them to be honest tag wasn't he was a he was a surprise Right many years after we had the twins. How old is he? He's three. No, I'm out. Scott, I won't do it. We call him Tag because he's extra. Right, yeah, like a skin tag.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah. So they're motherless, these are motherless children. Yes, they just have me, their dad. Nope, I'm not doing it. Well, hold on. What are you talking about? Scott, I know what Wicked Games are up to, Chris Isaac, Scott.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I may have invited big chunky bubbles here. Hey, sidebar. Yes. Remember when Chris Isaac had that TV show? That was weird. That was strange. You ever see the thing he did to Cameron Diaz? No, what did he do?
Starting point is 00:49:43 That's all I think about when I hear his name. What did you did to Cameron Diaz? No, what did he do? That's all I think about when I hear his name. What did he do to Cameron Diaz? Look it up. He forced a kiss on her that she didn't want. Oh, I remember that. The Smooch Patrol was irate. The Smooch Patrol was very upset about that. At some MTV show or something, right?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah. Yeah. Then, Adrian Brody did that to Helen Berry. To Helen Berry, yeah. You know, if you ever win an award, it's a real position of power. What a weird trend of two. I guess you need three to be a trend.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Maybe it's like pieces of chicken in a soup. You need five. But look, I may have invited Big Chunky Bubbles here, because Gillian, I know of your recent issues with, in the, you know, I hate to plug it again, but the love department. Is this a setup? Look, I like you, Gillian.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I like you, big junkie. Well, that's maybe a little strong. That was a close one. You may be the guest I like the least out of anyone that's ever been on the show. Scott! But I think sometimes, you know, fate thinks that two people who seemingly would be mismatched
Starting point is 00:50:44 are actually a great match. And, you know, Gillian, since you were on the show last, of course, you're now penniless and broke and without any sort of romance in your life. And here's a man who's a relatively recent widower who has three annoying children and who is out of work. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:07 To be fair, the children only annoy me. Sure, they don't annoy other people. No, no, no, I didn't take a poll or anything. You could. I suppose I could. All right, let's go through it. Do you own a home? Almost.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Where? In Encino. Nope. Really? Encino is it? Deal breaker. No, I can't. I have too many exes in Encino.
Starting point is 00:51:34 What? Really? Yeah. Really? What parts of Encino? Why are they all in Encino? Ex-ino. Well, Brendan Fraser is one of them.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Okay, yeah. And he lives in Encino? Come on, Paul. Great work on the affair this year. You got it, didn't you, Paul? Oh, wait a minute. Oh, he's an Encino man. Encino man, sure.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Have you guys swapped bodies? No, not at all. Encino man, one of those movies that women talk about. What? Hey, where did I put my earrings? I don't even have my ears pierced. And you know that! I know that.
Starting point is 00:52:09 What a freakish Friday. Look, we need to take a break. No! We need to take a break, Gilly. When we come back, I really wanna make a case for big chunky bubbles here, and we're gonna play a little something that I like to call the comedy bang bang dating game.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Oh. When we come back, we'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this. We're gonna play a little something that I like to call the Comedy Bang Bang dating game. Oh. Oh. When we come back, we'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Bum-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- Second season we'll get to see them fall even deeper and deeper in love The smooch patrol very excited about that 12 episodes of course And we also have big chunky bubbles who is a children's entertainer, and you've been pouting the entire commercial Well look I want this young lady to know I Didn't come here to be set up. I wasn't in on this okay. This is news to me Yeah, fair enough, so that's not my problem with you I wasn't in on this. This is news to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Fair enough. That's not my problem with you. Look, before you go into your problems... What is it? I want to know what the problem is with me. You've got three children. Yeah. You're broke. I think Gary had more children than three. But they were adult. I don't want to raise these children. And you live in a real hot
Starting point is 00:53:27 spot of exes for me in Sino, California. Listen, the kids practically raise themselves. I try to really keep my distance. What do they do? Like you're here doing a podcast for a couple hours. What are they up to now? God knows. Do you have them making your soups? They participate sometimes in the making of soups. They're not very good at it. But being kids they have to have some sort of hook up with other kids who maybe want to have a birthday party entertainer. You would think, but every time I broach the subject with them they say, oh dad we're kind of loners at school. We
Starting point is 00:54:03 don't really have friends or do activities, but I'm always having to sign permission slips for them to go have fun. What if you button the subject with them?
