Starting point is 00:03:06 Comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang. Hey, Ark of the moral universe while you're bending towards justice, how about picking up some cigarette butts? Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Hmm, thank you to Carckel cocoon. for that wonderful catchphrase submission. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. And special last day of Navi Doggy Edition. We hardly ever get to do a special last day of Navi Doggy edition on this show.
Starting point is 00:03:39 It comes around every, if I had to guess, five years or so. And we are lucky that it has happened today. Welcome to the show. My name is Scott Ackerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. I have been the host for low these many 11 years. And I will be the host for who knows how much longer. It could be another 11 years.
Starting point is 00:03:59 It could be 11 days. Who knows? But, you know, who knows what's going on in this life? And that is a great segue to lead us into talking about who's on the show today. Because who knows what's going on on this show? I do. And so I will tell you. We have, coming up a little later, we have a couple of entrepreneurs.
Starting point is 00:04:18 This is a treat. Wow. People who are starting or who have started their own business. we will talk to them about whatever that business is. And speaking of business, these people are in the business of sports and business is good. We will have a couple of sports figures coming up a little later. And before we get to them, we have an entertainer, an entertainer. She is a writer. She is an actress. She is a voiceover artist. She is in commercials. I think people, especially during this pandemic, people have gotten to know her.
Starting point is 00:04:55 work from those endless progressive commercials that she stars in that you see every, every break, it seems like. She's on the Zoom doing one of the, one of Stephanie Courtney's progressive friends. And she is on a Zoom with us right now. Why don't you please welcome her? She has a comedy special out tomorrow, December 1st, called Nate. It's very funny. I've seen it. Please welcome Natalie Palomitas. Hello. Hey, what's up, Scott? Thanks for having me. The most distinctive voice in show business. Oh, thanks for saying.
Starting point is 00:05:33 At least it's good for that reason, I guess. Do you think your voice is bad for other reasons? Well, you know, it gets bad reviews sometimes. People are like, uh. Who's reviewing voices? What's Rotten Tomatoes for voices? Uh, Twitter, I guess. You know, I get some at replies, people saying like, your voice is so annoying.
Starting point is 00:05:58 You come on my Hulu every freaking five minutes. I'm like, dude, don't hate me because you hate me. You know what I'm saying? I've always said, don't hate the player. Hate the, and I forget how the rest of it goes. Me too. But I've always said it. And you do have, I think it's wonderful to have a distinctive, unique voice because as you have
Starting point is 00:06:21 approved, it can get you work in various types of, I'm running out of steam on this sentence. I mean, do you know what I'm trying to say, though? It gets your gigs. It gets you different gigs if you know how to work it. That's right. If you know how to swing your weird thing that you got. Exactly. You lean into it.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Whatever your weird thing is lean into it. You have to lean into it. I could have gone the other way, you know. People could have been telling me, you know, Your voice is annoying, and then I could have just shut up. Sure, or you could have tried to change it. Like, if you had to, was there ever a point in your life where you were like, I got to fix this? I got to change my voice, and you start trying to talk differently?
Starting point is 00:07:05 Yeah, my freaking theater teacher in college, she was like, you're resonating in your navel cavity, and we need to bring that down. So throughout college, I, you know, tried to bring my voice down here and speak not in my navel cavity, but I was doing a voice. Right. So odd because, you know, it sounds like I'm doing a voice, but, you know, in theater schools, they try to beat it out of you, especially you're doing Stanislavski or something. You have to be a neutral canvas.
Starting point is 00:07:33 They try to make you more generic. But it does always interest me, the people like you or Maria Bamford, who have such unique voices, but you can talk in a more normal voice. But it's just not the way you naturally talk, you know what I mean? It's just not. I don't know how it happens. and I don't know when, you know, because, you know, growing up through grade school, none of my friends who knew me from first grade were commenting on me having a weird voice or anything. Was it high when you were younger and then got a little more, I guess the only way to say it is low?
Starting point is 00:08:12 I don't remember. What I do remember is kind of had like a little bit of a lateral list because I had this hearse, hurs. A hearse? In my mouth. You had a hearse in your mouth? A hearse, I think it's called it. Oh, Hurst, okay. It's like these two metal bars.
Starting point is 00:08:29 They put like two big bolts on the bottom jar on the top. Oh, yeah. I saw that in Marilyn Manson video. Exactly. Yeah, so they put those on third and fourth graders to pull their jaw forward and sometimes rock and rollers. And, yeah, so I had a lateral list from that jaw contraption. And, yeah, I've just always spoken with kind of a nasaly. quality, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Well, it really suits you and it has worked for you well. And it is working for you even better than well, excellently, I would say. In your new special, Nate, which is coming to Netflix. Yeah, Scott. How insane is that, dude? It's so great. I saw kind of a version of this a few years back and was blown away. That's maybe the first time I ever saw you perform.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Wow, wow. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, yeah. And was blown away by it, thought it was really, really funny. And then when I heard they were filming it, I was like, yes, cameras. Yeah, cameras always make things better when they get involved. You know, they record stuff permanently. You can't take any mistakes back that you do.
Starting point is 00:09:41 They keep you accountable. Sure, of course. Tell us about the special. It's really unique and very funny, but also unlike, probably any other comedy special that's out there, give us a little headline of it. What would you say about it? Yeah, well, I would say Nate,
Starting point is 00:10:00 it's now called Nate a one-man show, follows this macho douchebag with a heart of gold. That's how I describe Nate, as he goes through a breakup, a recent heartbreak, and tries to find love in this new era, post-me-to era, I guess. So the show explores toxic masculinity and just masculinity.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Sure, toxic and non-toxic. You can be non-toxic in masculine, I hope. I hope so too. Yeah, for all you fellows out there, I think it's possible. And the gray area of consent as well, it explores. But it involves a lot of audience interaction, very absurd, lowbrow humor. Lowbrow humor and a lot of eyebrow. A lot of eyebrow and chest hair and leg hair.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yes, a lot of lowbrow humor, eyebrow humor, chest brow humor, and everything in between. And you play Nate. Yes. You play the titular Nate. The titular Nate. That's right. And you are in character. I don't want to give away anything, but pretty much the entire time.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah, yeah. You can say, I mean, it's me dressed in drag, doing a drag character as a dude. Oh, you mean you don't want to give like the... Well, the twists and turns. I mean, the plot goes different places. And I wasn't going to say that you play other things necessarily. Oh, yeah. Oh, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Yeah. That's not really a compliment. I'm not quite sure why you're thinking of me. No, no, I was just thank you for being so thoughtful as to not want to give anything away. I see. Well, I just did, unfortunately, because you backed me into a corner. And so now people know that you play other things. But hey, that's all right.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Well, you know, spoiler. I play other things. A little late for that, unfortunately. But retroactive spoiler, certainly. But it's a one woman or a one man show that you took to the Edinburgh Festival. And you won a prize, didn't you? I did. I won the Total Theater Award for Innovation.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And I actually shared that award that year with Pussy Riot, the Russian female punk band. Yeah. Amazing. So do you have to travel to Russia to give them the award every six months or how does that work? Yeah, we pass it back and forth. The mail's been slow lately. So, yeah, we've, we've. grown accustomed to holding on to it for a bit longer.
Starting point is 00:12:49 They've flown over here one time in person to pass it back to me. I'm taking a trip after the regulations ease up a little bit on COVID. I'm going to go pass it back. So you performed this show. I saw it over at the lyric. Lyric Hyperion. The Lyric Hyperion. And where exactly did you film it?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Did you film it there as well? No, so I filmed it in a much larger space. I wanted to shoot it at the lyric, but it was just too small for any amount of cameras to be in there. They were saying. That's what she said? Does that work? Sort of. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Okay. Yeah. All right, all right. But maybe she would say. I'll put that in the W column. There is, I think she would say that there's enough room for many cameras in there. Okay. I understand.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Okay, we're amending what she said. Sure, sure. So did you film it here in L.A.? Yes, the Los Angeles Theater Center downtown. LATC. LATC, buddy, 300 seats. Wow. Yeah, much larger room than I'm used to playing, and I had to, you know, I'm not miced.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I'm wearing mics in the special. They're, like, taped on to my chest. Oh, I didn't even notice them. Thanks for saying. Yeah, I appreciate. And not a compliment. It's just merely a thing that I... You're just so thoughtful.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I just want to encourage it. But, yeah, I'm glad you didn't notice them. Although if I did notice them, who cares, right? I look at it and I go, oh, Mike, yeah, well, that amplifies her voice and then I move on, you know? It's like, who gives a shit? It didn't even amplify it. I was projecting in the room, so that was just for camera. So I feel like...
Starting point is 00:14:43 It was for... Meaning it was so people would notice them? Well, no, it was just so to get the sound for the filmed footage, but I didn't have anything to project in the room. Okay. If that makes sense. I'm very confused on this. You know what? I should be interviewing the sound person on this.
Starting point is 00:15:02 You remember who that person is? Maybe I could call him up. Oh. Yeah. Hi. Hello. Hi. Hi.
Starting point is 00:15:08 What's your name? I'd rather not say. Oh. I could just look it up on IMDB. I mean, you're probably credited in the actual special, aren't you? Yeah, no, I am. It's Alex. Oh, hi, Alex.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Is that Alex short for anything, like Alexander or Alexis? Alexis, yeah. Alexis. Oh, okay. Great. Well, so tell me about the sound on this. What exactly? So, yeah, so we hooked up the mics to Nat, but the sound that was going through those mics
Starting point is 00:15:41 was connected directly to the camera. So the sound was going into the camera, not into the room of the theater. So it was recording it for the footage, but it was not projected over any sort of speakers into the stage area. Okay, yeah. Yeah, no, it does make sense.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It's actually, yeah, I understand. When you film something, you put mics on the people. Right. It's like when you film a movie, you know, Like everyone in the movie isn't walking around with handheld mics all the time. You know, they're not projecting their voice. Oh, God. All right, Alexis.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Alex, we've had about enough out of you. Thank you so much. It's wonderful to have you on the show, though. I don't know that I've ever had a sound person on the show. Yeah, well, you know, maybe you need to have more. Clearly, you're lacking a little bit of knowledge there. I don't think I'm lacking anything. I, in fact, think that I already had the knowledge.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I don't agree. I disagree to agree to disagree. Well, I disagree with your disagreeing to agree to disagree. Damn it, you got me. Shit. All right. Well, Alex, have a good one. Hey, see you never.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Peace, bitch. Okay. Wow. Natalie. A little spicy there. Yeah, I don't know why you would bring that person on the show. I mean, just really, I appreciate the clarification of what you were trying to say. But if you would just kind of express it a little more clearly, we wouldn't have had to go through.
Starting point is 00:17:10 through that. I'm sorry. He was so rude and thanks for understanding. How's a she? I thought it was, oh, Alexis, as in like a Russian Alexis or? Oh, um, let me ask. Oh, please don't bring a like Alex. Okay, okay, okay. No, yeah, he's gone, actually. Oh, okay. Where do you go off to? Are you quarantining with him? What is going on? I don't know. He just kind of like, I didn't expect to see him here. He did just surprise me. Oh, you didn't like let out a scream or you were pretty chill. about the entire thing. Yeah, I'm used to people popping in and out of my place.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I don't lock the door. Hmm. And that's true. I should lock it. That's a way. That's a true state. I don't think that you want that to come out over the airways that you don't like your door. Yeah, I don't want anybody to know that.
Starting point is 00:17:58 You especially don't want to say your address right now. Yeah, no, I definitely don't. And it is not 13. The Holy California, 9-0-0-20027. That's actually an old address. Oh, okay. That's an old address that you didn't leave locked there either, and maybe the new owner doesn't leave it locked either. We're going to have to bleep that entire thing out because we don't want to send weirdos to your old address either. No, I certainly don't. Yeah, even though my old neighbor there kind of sucked.
Starting point is 00:18:31 We don't get into that. Yeah, we don't want to talk about neighbors. We've had previous guests get into trouble for talking about their actual neighbors. Oh, really? Oh, really? So you did this show. This is the culmination. Filming it and having it be on Netflix is the culmination of a long journey with this show. Sure is. Yeah. Do you have another show coming up?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Do you have anything in the – I mean, let's celebrate the fact that this one is out. But we always are looking into the future, aren't we? Sure. Yeah. I mean, you know, right now in quarantine, it's kind of hard to develop any kind of new material because the theaters aren't. open, but I've just been, actually recently did a show with my friend, you know, her Courtney Peroso, her and I created these two Italian guys, Zidi and Rigatoni, Palloroso.
Starting point is 00:19:26 We've had a rash of Italian people on this show recently. Have you? Yeah, I don't know why. It's very weird. They're coming out of the woodwork because their first lady is now in the White House. Probably. I think it's one of the last accents you can actually do without being a. offensive. That's, I think that's why people are really leaning into it pretty hard. You can call people meatballs and nobody takes it one way or the other. And I can say that because I'm half. Oh, which half? Upper? Lower? Middle. Right in the middle, really. So like from the neck down and the knees up, huh? Yeah, certainly. I mean, my mom says I got no neck and that's because of my dad's hotelian heritage. I'm so sorry that your mom talks to you that way.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah, well, she talks to me many different ways, but that's one of them, yeah. Well, we'll be on the lookout for that, and please come back whenever that's ready and has been filmed and is premiering the very next day. Yeah. But we have, Nate is the special that I want everyone to watch because it's very funny. And let's give it the old CBB bump here, the CBB. Thank you for bumping it, Scott. I really appreciate it. Bump that shit.
Starting point is 00:20:38 I want people to watch it. It's a great introduction into what you do. And once you see it, you will never be confused about what Natalie does again. Thank you. Yes. It is kind of confusing, isn't it? I don't think I ever actually said what it is I do. And that's fine.
Starting point is 00:20:57 It is interesting because I talk to people on the show before people watch their thing. And so a lot of what we do on the show is trying to elucidate and trying to communicate to the listener what exactly is happening. But I don't want to give away anything. Yeah. But the show is insane and you should just watch it. Right on. Thanks, Scott. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I was going to say just one quick thing. Sure. Maybe I shouldn't say my tits are out the whole time. And I'm going to say if people just watch it for that reason, that's fine with me. So you're leaning into that. You're trying to get people to, like, hey, look, if you're some weird perv and you want to see those for reasons that are perhaps purient to nature, then, you know, hey, you're fine. with it. All viewership is welcome. All right, very good. All right. Well, Nate is the special. It's out on Netflix starting tomorrow or probably by now, if you're listening to this at any point in the future.
Starting point is 00:21:53 We need to take a break, but when we come back, we will have, this is exciting, the entrepreneurs. Natalie, have you ever wanted to be an entrepreneur? I did actually work for a security guard. Really? Which one? Yeah. It was called, oh, fuck. They do a bunch of events. I'll think about it. But what was your job in it? Because I, you are, I don't like to comment on people's physical appearance necessarily, but I wouldn't say you're the most imposing person I've ever met.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah, it was called Staff Pro. And I guarded the USC campus, like I would stand at the front of dorms. While people came in and checked their thumbprints and stuff, I also did like the CNN Heroes Awards or I would watch over film equipment at night. To make sure it didn't commit any crimes or? Yeah, to make sure nothing was stolen. The LA Auto Show was a big one. You know, you scam people as they come in with a little wand to make sure they don't have a gun or a knife or anything.
Starting point is 00:22:59 But the thing about bringing illegal stuff into places with metal detectors and these security guards that check, I know now that probably so much stuff is getting into these places because I was one of those people who had to check. And I mean, there were so many pockets. I couldn't get through all the pockets. I would be holding up the line. Anyways. So if you want to give someone advice of how to get through a metal detector without being your weapons being taken, the advice you would give is put it in your fifth pocket. Also, maybe just do something where you kind of like look around and then you touch.
Starting point is 00:23:35 your chest or something and say, oh, my pacemaker, must be that. Oh, so if anyone have the pacemaker excuse. Yeah, I would just be like, oh, okay. You can't ask someone about it. You can't, HIPAA law. Well, it is the law that we have to take a break. We need to go to commercial right now, but when we come back,
Starting point is 00:23:55 we will have the entrepreneurs. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang, Bang, we're back. We have Natalie Palomitas of Nautra. Nate is her special and it is out on. I'm just going to say it's out on Netflix right now because pretty much in these 24 hours that people may be listening to the show, you know, so what if they turn on Netflix and they can't find it? You know, I mean, who cares about those people? I'm playing
Starting point is 00:24:23 the long game. They can set an alert. They can set a reminder for when it comes out. That's right. How's that? Comes out tomorrow, December 1st, perfect for Christmas viewing as well. Gather the family round. If you are with your family, which we don't necessarily suggest you do, but if you happen to be there with your family there in your own household, I would say Christmas morning at 10 a.m. is a great time to watch this. 100%. Agreed. Well, we do need to get to our next guests. They are entrepreneurs, and this is a treat to have people of this profession on the show. I wonder if they have employees, if they have employees, if they They give those employees insurance, all sorts of questions to ask these guys.
Starting point is 00:25:10 They are entrepreneurs. Please welcome Jeff and Mike. Hey, Scott. Hey, yeah. Thank you, Scott. Thanks so much for having us. Yeah, it's our, I'm including you, Natalie, in this. It's our pleasure.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Oh, hi, yes. It is our pleasure. Yeah. We share the pleasure, much like Natalie shared her award with Pussy Riot. Of course. Oh, yes. Consider me to be the pussy riot of Comedy Bang Bang. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Okay. Well, the pleasure, the pleasure is ours. Absolutely. And I know what that means. Yeah, I would say the pleasure is ours, actually. Because it's always wonderful. Well, let's not fly over the pleasure. That's what she said?
Starting point is 00:25:46 Let's not fly over it. It's not flight over the pleasure. But the pleasure is ours. And Mike and I are very happy to be here. That's right. Thanks, Jeff. We're really stoked. We have a lot of great products we want to talk about.
Starting point is 00:25:56 We have a lot on the docket. Okay. So you're entrepreneurs who sell many different things, or you have one company? Well, Scott, we're here to promote our men's wellness company, bold. Bold. Bold. Bold.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah. Is that what it is? You spelled it right, Scott. Absolutely. And you nailed the spelling, Scott. You nailed the spelling. Okay. And this is based out of where the south somewhere or where exactly is your business?
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's the mid-south. It's a mid-south. It's a new district. It's kind of like the Midwest, but at the bottom. It's at the bottom. It's just like the Midwest, but it's down into the right on a map. Oh, okay. I see.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Okay. Wonderful. Well, let's talk about these products. What do you got? I mean, maybe Natalie and I are in the market for some of these. You know, Natalie is not necessarily probably in the market for men's wellness, but maybe something would appeal to her. Well, you know, we're not going to discriminate. Anyone can have our products, you know, but Mike and I notice that, you know, there are so many wellness companies out there geared for women, you know, but us men, we care about our well-being, too. Let's run them now. We got goop. The rest. The rest. Yeah, all of those. Sir, Sephora is a makeup line.
Starting point is 00:27:07 What's the one you just had? Alta. What is Alta? It's kind of like Sephora, but cheap. Oh, yeah, it's cheap-ass Sephora. Excuse me for saying ass in the pitch. But that's written in there. Hey, this is bold, okay?
Starting point is 00:27:24 It's written in there, but you want to be excused for it? Like it was a mistake? Excuse me, and this is written into the pitch. Excuse me for saying the word ass. Okay, well, if it's written, I don't care. I'll tell you what, I'm looking at the rest of some of this. You're going to have to excuse us a few more times. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:27:41 Don't worry. We will let you know when to excuse us because it's written in the pitch. Okay, so if you ever curse but it's not written into the pitch, what do you say that? We keep rolling. Don't say a word. Okay. But every time it is written in, you ask to be excused. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yes, please. Got it. Every time we catch a curse word in our pitch, we ask for you to excuse us. Okay. And that is written in there. Very good to know. All right. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Well, you know, women, they have all these creams and serums and lotions. Tell me about it. What do us men have? Barbecue? What do we get? That's a joke, but we have creams and lotions and stuff like that. Yeah, barbecue sauce. We have barbecue sauce.
Starting point is 00:28:21 We have fries. Honey butter. And we have honey butter. We have honey butter. And I'm so tired of only being offered honey butter when I really care about my appearance. That's right. So we want you to try out a couple of our products, Scott. Okay. Great. Yeah, I would love to. Yeah. And first up, we have our germicidal boxer briefs. Now, these are underwear made of a patented anti-bacterial cotton that helps keep you fresh down there, you know? Okay. How do they do?
Starting point is 00:28:53 Okay. I've always wondered this because I've heard about antibacterial and antimicrobial clothing. and why don't they make everything with anti-bacterial things? Like tables, chairs, all clothes. You know what I mean? Like if something can be anti-bacterial, make everything in the world out of it because no one likes bacteria. That makes sense. But this stuff is really expensive, Scott. So you can't just make a chair out of antimicrobial fabric.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I thought it was anti-bacterial. Well, ours is actually germicidal. What is that? What is germicidal? I've heard of homicidal. Yeah. Have you heard of it? of suicide and homicide? Yes, of course. One is the killing of oneself. One is the killing of another
Starting point is 00:29:36 person. So with social media these days, a lot of people don't know, but germs are very mentally unhealthy. So they're very suicidal. So if you have germicidal boxer briefs, they'll go ahead and kill themselves. Okay. Good to know. All right. So these are these are anti-bacterial boxer briefs. So from the people who were roommates with the M-Undi's people, We bring you our germicidal boxer briefs. And they also, Scott, they have a patented shit yourself technology. So when you take a big overnight oats in your pants, there's a convenient flap for easy cleanup before you head out to the fight with the guys.
Starting point is 00:30:13 So there's a flap for cleanup? Why not a flap to so it doesn't get in your underwear? Well, because it's a guy. You can't always help that, Scott. You know, you're a guy. You're getting ready for the fight. You're having your pregame nachos. You're having your pregame beers.
Starting point is 00:30:28 And sometimes you're going to let one go. So you're going to need a flap to clean up. So why not just take off the entire underwear and clean that and put on a new pair? That's a great question. And for that, we have fresh undies. That's another one of our product. This is what it is. That's right, Scott.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Do you ever eat so much honey butter you make a slushy? Oh, no. We have fresh undies. I can't say that I do. No, okay. Fresh undies are not quite full undies. They're more thin undies that come in. a pack of five that you can just keep in your backpack.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Mike, I have a question. Yeah, a question from Natalie. Do you guys have a pro-biotic undies line since you're, you know, inspired by wellness? Well, we actually, we have a line of conbiotics coming out. And these really mess your gut up. That's right. The fresh undies are edible and they are conbiotics. If you eat them, they will mess up your tummy.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Okay, got it. So the regular undies come in packs of what? Three, I would imagine, but these are thinner, and so they come in packs of five? Yes. Yeah, fresh undies. Fresh undies are different than clean undies. They're not identical pair that are clean. These are a little bit thinner.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Well, these are recycled, so they're gray. They're gray. These are not necessarily clean, but they are fresh. Seems like you guys are laughing at the idea of your products a lot. What is... This is part of, if you guys are going to be pitching these around, you have to find these less funny. You have to be a little more committed to them. Well, I think as men, we realize that humor is a big part of our life, right?
Starting point is 00:32:06 We're raised to be funny. We're raised to not have feelings. We're raised to laugh it off, right? Yes. Yes. So we're laughing it off. You know, sometimes our pitches don't go that well. So you've got to laugh it off rather than to get in a bad mood.
Starting point is 00:32:20 That's right. Expertly said. Are you a philosopher? Now, Scott, you're going to. love this. Okay. Now, I notice you haven't, you haven't cursed yet, and you said there was a lot coming down the pike.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Well, don't worry. At the end of this, it gets filthy and nasty. So this is the blue version. This is the late-night version. Okay. Yeah. We know we're not on national TV, so we're going to give you the goods later. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Now, Scott, you're going to love this. Now, what do we all wish our shotgun had? No, guys, it's not a scope. It's a hair loss medication. Oh, on your shotgun? Yeah, we would like to introduce the delightful rifle. Now, from the guys that brought you carrying around a handkerchief to blow your nose in, this fully automatic machine gun has a barrel made of 300 milligrams of propitia.
Starting point is 00:33:14 So when you're at the gun rage, you can take a quick bite off the end and not only keep the hair you have, but in your case, Scott, regrow 30% of the hair you've lost. I don't think I've lost any of here. Wait, you bite the end of the shotgun? You take a quick nibble. When you're feeling that hair go thin, take a quick nibble. So you're putting the business end of the shotgun into your mouth and biting down on it? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:33:39 You take a rip of a propitia pill. You say, God damn, that's good. Excuse me. And then you keep on firing. Thank you. Okay. That's the first one. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Excuse us. Please excuse him. Some people wouldn't consider that to be a curse. But if you're religious, you certainly do. That's right. Although, I don't know why religious people think that God. Damn is a curse because it's just asking God to damn something. I mean, it's like praying.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah, but you don't want to force God to do anything. That's, well, you're not saying like, hey, God, I force you to damn these people. It sounds like a request to me. Wait, if you say, please, God damn it. And again, excuse us. Excuse us. I have this guest on the show, Little Dammit Man once. He had a curse right there in his name.
Starting point is 00:34:25 He did. I haven't seen that guy again. Oh, wait, you know who I'm talking about it? Yes, I know little damn it, man. What was his deal? I think his whole thing was his first word was dammit. The first word out of every sentence he would say? Was that what it was?
Starting point is 00:34:41 No, his first word. His first word as a child was damn it. Oh, okay. He lived with a bunch of otters in a tub. Okay. Wow. Seems thin, but I don't know. No, it was fully flushed.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Fleshed. It was probably fleshed, yeah. All right, continue. Do you have another product here? Well, absolutely. Scott, you know as men, we need to take care of ourselves, and we have feelings too. We care about how we look. We care about how we're seen, sometimes by other men, sometimes by women.
Starting point is 00:35:11 So, of course, say you're working on the house. You're getting sweaty and you're getting up on a ladder, right? Yep. From the guys that brought you peep-toe pumps, we have ladder heels. This way you put on these heels and climb the ladder. and your glutes are looking pursed the whole time. Okay, so this is to sort of... You got it.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh, wow. You really think I got it after just a couple of words? You know exactly what it is. This is to make sure everyone sees the definition in your calves a little more clear. Both your calves and to juice up your caboose. You know, you really want to be up and you're fixing the gutters. You're doing all this manly, manly work, but why should you have to wear a ratty old tea? Why should you have to have a flat butt in some basketball shorts?
Starting point is 00:35:59 You don't have to. You could wear something else whenever you want. Exactly. Are you tired of being on the ladder and your glutes are not showing and popping? I got to say, usually when I'm on the ladder, I'm either getting somewhere or I'm coming from someplace. And I don't like to spend a ton of time there. Aren't the heels going to make it harder to do work? That is a great point.
Starting point is 00:36:24 That's a great question. Absolutely. And it does, and you agree. It does make it harder to do the work. Of course, but you're happier to do it. It's going to take longer, and you're going to be on display for longer. And the harder you work, the harder you squirt. And excuse me for saying that.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Excuse me. That isn't a curse necessarily. It's just a weird thing to say. Lately squirt has changed, and it's become a curse. Everybody knows what you mean when you say the word squirt now, and so it's become a curse word. Squirt is dirtier than fuck at this point. Excuse me. So that was written?
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yes, Scott, this is all written, typed out, and laminated. Laminated? Wow, you went the extra mile here. We did. Gosh, all right. Well, do you have another product? And, Scott, you know we do. We're doing therapy on motorcycles.
Starting point is 00:37:13 That's right. What does that mean? That's right. Head on down to the Harley Davidson store and post up at the cafeteria. And meet with license counsel. I thought you were done. Boy, what a pause. Well, I was supposed to come in there, but.
Starting point is 00:37:26 God damn it, I forgot and excuse me again. Excuse you. So you wrote in that you were going to forget to interject? I am a forgetful bastard. And again, you'll have to excuse my language. We took a pitching class and they said we were too stiff. So we decided to write out all of our exchanges down to the T. Okay, so this was to cure that.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I see. Exactly. And as you can tell now, we're seamless with our transitions. Speaking of a cure, Scott, I noticed. that you sit in a chair all day long. It looks like you can't get up and you can't go anywhere. Tell me you don't have to go. You've seen me for about 15 minutes at this point and yes, I've been sitting in the chair
Starting point is 00:38:07 this entire time. That's right. The whole time. The whole time. So can you not get away from the game or your job to dump your crap? Well, from the guys who used to sell the my pillow guy his drugs, we bring you the pocket poop. Just run the bag up your leg, shove the funnel in the hole and let hurry.
Starting point is 00:38:26 right there in the stands or at your job, wherever you need to be. Okay. This, I mean, now this sounds like something I could use. That's right. You know, especially with all the zooms that we're on these days. I mean, no one can see you below, you know, chest high, I would say. Scott, can I ask you an honest question guy to guy? Sure, yeah, I guess so.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I mean, I've never been asked that before, but yeah, I guess you could. How many times have you made in your seat? How many times have you made in your seat in the last two weeks? In two weeks That's what I'm wondering Scott be honest You could probably You can extend that for several decades
Starting point is 00:39:05 Zero times Zero times Scott Do you know what it's like to smell so bad at work You're not only fired But you're asked to leave the state That's why we came up with Just Aluminum
Starting point is 00:39:19 From the guys who brought you Loving the Movie The Godfather It's a new deodorant That just was banned by the State Department. It keeps you so dry, you'll die. Here, try it. No, I, that sounds awful dying. I really would rather not. I mean, I can't see that this was ever approved by the FDAA. FDAA? Is this in the script? You're not cursing. I can't tell. Does FDAA stand for Federal Drug Administration asshole? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's all written in. It's all written in there. Did I get Did I add an extra A? Is that what it is? Food and Drug Administration. You're right. Okay. FDA.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I apologize. I like the A better. Well, I, you know, I'm thinking of HIPAA, which we were talking about. That has the extra A in it.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Here's my thing. When you're in the shower and you're in there and you're looking at everything and you're saying, none of this is for me. All of this is too frilly, too pink. What is a microbeed? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Sure. So from the guys that bought you, shower scum. We have the fatty caddy. It's a shower caddy that goes in your shower that takes up the whole wall. And it holds your barbecue sauce, your mustard, your soap, your tongs, your flipper, okay? And it also holds your microderm abrasion skin rub. Have you ever wanted to have your fully stuck fridge in the shower with you, Scott?
Starting point is 00:40:53 I mean, there may be some issues with temperature. but yeah, this sounds like a dream. Absolutely. Turn that thing all the way to the left and crank it on hot, put some tater tots under the water, and you're cooking and cleaning at the same time, baby. This is amazing. I can't tell you how many times I've been in the shower
Starting point is 00:41:10 and said, oh, I'm so hungry right now. I know. But I'm dripping wet and I'm naked. And as a man, you want to eat tater tots. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. How many times have you eaten naked? In the last two weeks.
Starting point is 00:41:22 In the last two weeks, 32. Okay, three meals. a day that's around 11 days of the last two weeks. Yeah. Every meal? Wow. I eat mostly nude. We've been naked for the last two weeks preparing for this.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Eating, eating, eating. How much weight have you put on, Jeff? I've put on nearly 12 pounds in the last two weeks preparing for this pitch. Do you sell them separately or is there some sort of subscription model? No, you have to buy these all at once. It's a $1,000 package for everything. in the bold catalog. That's pretty cheap for everything in a catalog.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I can't imagine any other catalog where $1,000 would buy every single thing in it. Well, it's a short catalog, but there is a lot of good stuff. How short are we talking? What are we talking? Well, it's a front and a back page. It's a single page printed, double-sided. But the products are crammed on there. Oh, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:42:16 The catalog's crammed. Got it, got it. Well, any other products? Because last time I asked you this, you said, you know that we do. but now I'm I'm I'm you're running out of so much steam Oh my god how could I forget how could I forget the road toad How could I oh my god we almost forgot the road toad as a man Excuse me
Starting point is 00:42:37 So you put a fake forgetting of the road toad into your script We are just fucking idiots excuse me Now the road toad tell me you're a man You're being made to go to work every day And let me guess your commute is terrible Well, have you ever been stuck in traffic and really had to go? And you had nowhere to go. Well, the road toad is a wonderful little thing that sits on your dash.
Starting point is 00:43:04 You pull it down, sit on top of it, and let it splash. And the best part is, it's a big toad. So when it's on your dash, nobody knows what it's for. Scott, it's totally undetectable on the dash. Except if the product becomes too famous and you have this dildo. on your dashboard that everyone knows it's a dildo. It's not a dildo. It is like a cookie jar.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's like a cookie jar with the toad's mouth opened upward. And you sit on top of it. And then what we're hoping is that they get so popular that everyone goes, hey, I see you got the road toad. But if you're a poot pocket customer, why would you get the road toad? Essentially the same thing. Yeah, there's a good question. And do you have a good answer?
Starting point is 00:43:48 No, no. We don't have answers for those. God damn it. Excuse me. So you knew someone was going to ask you this and you didn't write an answer. We wrote in possible questions that we couldn't answer because that's a good pitch.
Starting point is 00:44:05 So I've got another one that we've crammed onto the catalog that I'd love to tell you about. Okay, I believe we have time for one more and I'm guessing this is your last one. Shoot, we have two. Yeah, do yours, do yours. We have two or three, so we're going to cram them all in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And don't, I said we have time for one more. Don't combine all three of these into one product. No, no, that would be cheating. Now, Scott, you're going to love this. It's a combination house shoe erectile dysfunction medication. Okay. So from the guys who brought you white color crime comes the Caucason-Mocasson. Slip these bad boys on any time you need a little help in the bedroom and you'll be espadrilling in no time.
Starting point is 00:44:47 God damn it, fuck. Excuse me. Okay. We really pulled it out at the end with some of the clutch curse words there. I appreciate that. Thank you. Is the Caucasus and moccasin one size fits all? Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:04 It's one big size. Yeah, it should be big enough for anybody. Okay. Because, you know, I mean, sometimes some other people, and I'm not saying this is me, but my, you know, something too big, you know, you'd be banging around the sides of it a little bit, you know, too much. Oh, wait. I was imagining it they go on your feet. feet and somehow the juice gets into your bloodstream from the souls of your feet.
Starting point is 00:45:28 That's right. They go on your feet and the juice gets in your bloodstream. That's how it is. I'm very confused on this product. I have to say. It sounds like, Scott, you were thinking this is more of a penis product, which in that case, we do have made by the guys who brought you Trojans, small condoms. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And what are these are just condoms with smaller? These are little condoms. They're little condoms that most guys need. Um, everybody's lying about the size they use. And these are small condoms and you can finally be brave enough to just buy what you need. See, here's a, here's, I'm going to give you some advice. Here's a product idea. They're small condoms, but the box says extra large on them.
Starting point is 00:46:06 But they're like, wink condoms. So like wink, hey, we know these aren't extra large. Right. But so you can buy them and everyone at the, you know, everyone in line at the grocery store is like very impressed. But when, you know, they say, wow, look at the size of these condoms. You kind of wink to the camera and you go, yeah, they're big, aren't they? See, this is a product. Well, Scott, I think we're trying to be honest, you know?
Starting point is 00:46:29 We're men and we can wear small condoms and that's okay. Okay. You know? So just a shutting me down. That's it? Yes. Why don't you just learn how to let it splash in the road toad? Sounds like an insult that I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:47 All right, guys. Well, I can't say that I can afford the thousand dollars for every single. one of your products. So I'm going to have to take a pass on these. Okay. Well, you could do two easy payments of $500. You're just splitting it up. I know how, Matthew, what about four payments at $250? Is that? We could do $5 or $200. We can do $1,000 of $1. That I might be interested in. How are they spaced apart? All on one day. So one after the other, every second or so? Yeah, every second of one day. So it actually titles, it's a lot more than a thousand.
Starting point is 00:47:26 It's an interest. All right, Jeff and Mike, two entrepreneurs from, what was the name of your company again? Bold. Bold. All right. And that's, do you have a website? Yes, it's italics.com. You couldn't get bold, so you got the thing that's right next to it usually.
Starting point is 00:47:47 That's right. We moved on. Okay, wonderful. All right. We need to take a break. Can you guys stick around because we have a couple of sports legends coming up? So that's very exciting. We will be right back with more Natalie Palomitas, more Jeff and Mike. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang, bang, bang, we are back. We have Natalie Palomitas. Nate is streaming. I'm just going to say now because you're undoubtedly listening to this in the future. Historians are listening to this to say, how did Earthwork. Oh, interesting. Entrepreneurs? Wow. Everyone must be an entrepreneur on this planet. But it's streaming right now on Netflix. People can watch it. And we also have Jeff and Mike, two entrepreneurs. And during the break, you guys were huddled at the writing desk in your place. And you were writing a new script? What was going on there? We decided to cut some of the cuss words. Okay, you're revising. You're not writing new things. Yeah, writing is rewriting, Scott. So, you know, we had to go through and see
Starting point is 00:48:49 what didn't work, you know, and some things we didn't get to. So we're, but we're excited. We're, we're learning a lot when we get us up and we feel like absolute shit for earlier. Excuse me. For doing it wrong. You cut some before and added some in this new section. I don't know. All right. We feel like Dix. Yeah, we need to get to, speaking to Dix, our next two guests have a couple, I'm presuming, because I have never read an article saying that they underwent any kind of surgery to or any kind of horrible accident where they were snipped off in a Lorena Bobbitt type situation. You ever hear of that?
Starting point is 00:49:24 That's a popular reference with comedians from the 90s. You ever hear of that woman? Absolutely. Yes. I've never heard of her. Never heard of Lorena Bobbitt. Interesting. No, I'm embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Should I know her? Look her up. It's a great story. It's a wonderful heartwarming tale for the holidays. I think you'd love her. All right. Awesome. really relate to her, I think.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I get a Lorena Bobbitt, like, feel from your whole thing. I have a vibe. Yeah, you really do. Thanks. I forget where I was in this intro. Oh, yeah, they have penises. There are a couple of sports legends. Please welcome one of them has been on the show before. One of them has not.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Please welcome to the show Bill Walton and Wade Boggs. Wow, Scott. Wow. Thank you for reading our intro, word for word. Pleasure to be here with the great podcaster, Scott Ackerman. and an honor to be here with Natalie Pelomides from stage to screen, from Laid on stage to Nate on Netflix, from UCB's family mattress to UCB's Eastwood.
Starting point is 00:50:25 What a pleasure to be here. Wow. And thank you for reading the response to my intro that I read. Thanks for writing it out and texting it to me. Scott Ockerman, one of the great textors of our time. Welcome back to the show, Bill Walton. It's so good to see you again. You've been on the show a few times.
Starting point is 00:50:43 but Wade, you haven't spoken nary a word at this point. Hi, no, you know, I'm typically sort of a utility player, so I kind of just sort of hang back, wait for my moment, and maybe one day they'll let me get on the mound and pitch one game, which they did. When I was on the Yankees, I pitched a game. It was great. Normally a third basement. It was great to be called in.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So you take those lessons conversationalally as well. I do indeed, Scott. I do. I wait for my moment, make sure people are finished with their sentence, hold. Then I find my moment, Scott. Pleasure to be here with Jeff and Mike. Love men's products from the lawnmower manscaping to him's hair products. Every time I get sold something because I'm a man, I get happy.
Starting point is 00:51:32 What about that dollar shave club? You have one of those? Absolutely. The commercials sold me. I subscribed for a whole year. And those are the worst razors I've ever had. had sharp. I cut up every day. I'm in pain, but I love the ads. They're irreverent. They're quick. They're hilarious. Yeah, I don't think they've, uh, they've, they've been a sponsor for quite a number
Starting point is 00:51:53 of years. So I think we're safe to say this at this point. Oh, yes. Now, Earwolf from Scripps, local TV network to Sirius XM satellite radio owned by the big guys not needing the dollar shave money anymore. And I also love these products, Scott. and Mike and Jeff. Hi, Natalie. Hey, good to see you. Natalie, do you know Wade Boggs? Do you know, do you know his work?
Starting point is 00:52:22 Yeah, yeah, no, I caught that a game that he pitched that time. Really? You were there in person or? Yeah, I was there in person. I saw a history get made that day. I believe Natalie was the one that ran out to the mound and pointed to her left arm for Wade to come out and throw the pitch. That's right. I was actually put into the game at fan request.
Starting point is 00:52:42 It was very incredible. The only time it's ever happened in history. The coach wasn't going to take out the starting pitcher, but Natalie jumped out of the stands, ran to the mound, stopped the game, tapped her arm. I came on from third base, threw a few strikes, if I remember correctly, mostly through knuckle balls.
Starting point is 00:53:01 And honestly, for me, it was a great time. I don't know that I will be remembered by history. But you'll be remembered by me. I'm your biggest fan, Wade, and it's truly, my mind is blown just being able to talk to you right now. Well, that's really nice to hear. You know, as a third baseman, a position that's often overlooked, it feels nice to have a fan.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Third base, you know, a lot of baseball players, they never get there, you know what I mean? So it's like, it's a lonely position. Indeed it is, Scott. I spent most of the game talking to the third base umpire and the third base coach from the opposing team. Not too many friends on my team. Yeah, that third base umpire, he's always changing.
Starting point is 00:53:39 So it's like you always are making. and small talk. It's like going on a lot of first dates. Exactly, Scott. And again, this comes back to me finding my moments. I would wait for the third base umpire to sort of say something that I could sort of recognize, try to find my in and become friends as
Starting point is 00:53:54 quickly as possible. But of course, then that man would leave me. Sure. So you would wait for him to say usually what's the types of things he's saying is he like? That's a foul ball. Yeah, usually he's responding to whether or not the batter went or not. It's a
Starting point is 00:54:10 response to did he go? And then how do you follow that up? What do you say in response to that in order to strike up a conversation? Well, usually it's the opposing team who's at bat when he makes the call. So if he says that's why you're out there on the field, I would imagine. If he says that they did go, then I'll say, hey, good call, buddy. Hey, good call, buddy. Yeah, that's your line.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Yeah. Most of my friendships in my life have started from me sort of complimenting someone on the job they've done, whether it's the fry guy at a fast food restaurant or, you know, the security guard allowing people into the stadium. Yeah, I've hung out with, I've hung out with Wade before and it's just him and a bunch of umpires. That's right. A lot of people call me a traitor. I say, no, those are the only guys who'll talk to me. I would think that it would be a little more of a problem if you were hanging out with the opposing team, you know, or the rival team, like the Dodgers and the Giants. hanging out together. But I mean, the umpires, they're just calling them like they see them, you know? Exactly, Scott. I appreciate people who are honest, which is why I loved the pitches
Starting point is 00:55:15 from these guys. Right. But I got to bring something up, Scott. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry. I don't know that your, uh, your Booker really did as much research search as they should have because I'm actually also on the podcast today to pitch you some men's products from a company that I started called Strike Through. Oh, okay. Uh, well, that's okay. I'm I mean, two segments can kind of overlap in terms of theme. I think that's all right. So, yeah. Why don't we hear your pitch?
Starting point is 00:55:44 And you guys don't mind, right, Jeff and Mike? I mean, this is a competitor, obviously. Absolutely. We want to see the competitors. And I haven't heard him say one cuss word, so I'm not really that worried. Well, strap in, buddy, because you're about to hear a few. Okay. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Scott, damn it, man. Excuse me. Ord Simpson. What? Little damn it. Man is not here, if that's who you're addressing. He's a clear character and he will be coming back, though. Don't we feel like Bart Simpson was the original Little Dammit Man?
Starting point is 00:56:17 I do remember that. It seemed like Little Dammit Man was just Bart Simpson, but not yellow. No, he was slightly yellow. Oh, okay. So he had a bit of jaundice. All that notwithstanding, folks. What's every man's greatest fear? Smelling good.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Smelling good. Smelling good. Smelling good. You don't want to walk by people and them think that's a man who's never worked a day in his life. So from the people who brought you getting out of your car at a stoplight to aggressively gesture at the person behind you, I bring you stink-flavored body wash. That's right. This is a body wash that will make you smell as though you've worked all day in any field you would like. That's right. We've got landscaping flavored. We've got sous chef flavored. We've got carpenter flavored. We've got a baseball player flavored, which I'll tell you this is my favorite. Sure, of course. But all sorts of body washes that'll make you smell like any kind of working man you'd like to smell like. Fuck. Excuse me. Okay. All right. You got it in at the end. Can I say something, Wade?
Starting point is 00:57:33 Sure. Here's my suspicion. Okay. Now, Jeff and Mike in the previous segment, I said, hey, we only have time for one more. And then they let it slip that they had three at the ready. Did they just send you these things to read? And you're just doing their material right now? He's on to us. Excuse me. Listen, Scott, we've all seen the Nugentics commercials. We've seen sports athletes become spokespersons for bad sort of men's products. Okay. and I assure you that this is not an instance of a fledgling company passing off spokesperson duties to another sports athlete. Of course, because my company is called strike through.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Strike through. And how would I get to that? Is there a website or? You would go to superscript.com. Okay. All right. Interesting. Scott, texting your friend a couple extra jokes.
Starting point is 00:58:29 It's a guy thing. It's a guy thing. I'm sorry, I didn't realize this is a guy thing. Scott, I'm here to talk about baseball also, not just about the products that my company, that is my channel. Okay, so you're now segueing into what you originally came to do. All right, good to know. I will say, Scott, this is some observant hosting. In the world of podcasting, you don't see observations like the ones you get from Scott Ackerman,
Starting point is 00:58:53 whether it's Kevin Pollock's chat show or anything on the vast array of the reply all group. The observations are shit compared to Scott Ackerman's clear, underlined observations of what's going on. Thank you, Bill. I've noticed you're not shouting as much as you did in your previous appearances. It's easier to shout in a podcast studio than in a home that you share with other people. Okay, who are you sharing this home with? Your son, maybe.
Starting point is 00:59:23 I'm currently shacked up with my son, Luke Walton. We're trying to start our own basketball bubble. It's a father-son bubble. I would love to see a whole father-son game. There's how many people on a team five? I would love to see, I mean, I guess there'd have to be one extra father or one extra son, but still. You're like dads versus sons, or it's all people from the same family? Yeah, well, okay, so dads versus sons, I feel like that would be a little lopsided,
Starting point is 00:59:50 depending on how old the dads were or how young the sons were. But I'm saying split up the team evenly between fathers and sons. That's, I mean, that's a real bonding time. It's a fantastic time to bond unless you're playing against your son and you're dunking on his ass. Okay. But why am I telling you, you're the one who started this whole bubble. You know how it works. You've talked me out of it, Scott.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Oh, okay. How long have you been in the bubble for? It's been six months of putting this together. And just one sentence from me and you're out? Scott, you are one of the most convincing men I've ever met. From Alan Nershowitz to Johnny Cochran. to Scott Ackerman. I don't know that I want to be in that company.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Three of the greatest and most similar men I've ever met, and three of the biggest fans of O.J. Simpson I've ever talked to, Scott Ackerman, Robert Kardashian. You can add me to the list, too. Natalie Palomides, one of the great voices from Powerpuff girls to the progressive commercials. Every time I hear Natalie's voice,
Starting point is 01:00:56 I'll pop on to Twitter. Hashtag Natalie Palomides, Natalie Palomides, keep up the good voice. Oh, thanks. Just to balance out the people who are telling her, that her voice is annoying, of course. Absolutely. Go to hell.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Now, Bill, I heard your, I heard your bubble was pretty quickly compromised. With the virus. Unfortunately, everybody in the bubble has coronavirus. How many people? I thought it was just you and your son. Yes. You guys were the first two six-month cases, correct?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Usually doesn't it subside after, I don't know, a couple of months or death? Unfortunately, they're studying us right now. We've been passing it back and forth because our games have been sweaty and close contact. So I felt pretty good after a couple weeks. My sense of tasted smell was coming back. So obviously I let my son feed me. And my sick son got me sicker than I was the first time around. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:01:53 This is a horrible story. Wade, you said that you, there was something that you wanted to talk about. Oh, no, no, I was just going to, you know, I got out the one that I wanted to get out. We don't, we, I don't need any more time. Since I'm here, Wade just forwarded me a text message I'd like to read. Scott, here's a question I have for you. And of course, for Natalie, I don't know if you've experienced this or the men in your life. But you know when you're bowling with the guys.
Starting point is 01:02:22 You know when you're bowling with the guys? Oh, do you want an answer? Yes. Of course we know when we're bowling with guys. This is a call and response bitch here. Okay. And obviously you're bowling with the guys and out of nowhere somebody mistakes
Starting point is 01:02:33 your bald head for a bowling ball. They stick their two fingers in your nose and their thumb in your eye. They throw you right down the lane and in fear you mess yourself on the way down the lane. Do you need to respond? I didn't realize this is going to be like
Starting point is 01:02:49 Freddie Mercury at Live Aid where we had to respond so many times. Oh yo, yo, yo. Oh, yo, yo. What do you want us to say? No, this has never happened to me. Okay, there we go. God, Freddie didn't have to pull this out of his audience, but I got a worse audience.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Sorry. Are you continuing or is that the end? No, there's more. It's just, I'm feeling like the call response isn't working. I put in my Freddie Mercury teeth, which nobody's complimented me on. Be honest, too big. I mean, look. I honestly
Starting point is 01:03:26 I when we turned on the Zoom and you came on I thought I was just talking to a pair of teeth like an anthropomorphic pair of teeth or something oh no that was not some sort of funny Zoom thing that I did one of those called Scott you know the word it was not a funny filter Natalie Pelopetus with the interjection
Starting point is 01:03:46 clutch I lost my words and my nerves and Natalie Palomides saved me a big save like Wade Boggs if he had ever pitched a saving game, or like one of the pitchers on the famous Los Angeles Dodgers in this last world series,
Starting point is 01:04:01 from the people who brought you. That was all written. For the people who brought you adult rubber sheets for men, it is the bowling lane mop for the man who messes himself when mistaken for a bullet ball and thrown down a bowling lane
Starting point is 01:04:22 and messes a little lane. No, I want a product that keeps the people from sticking their fingers in my face. I don't want the product that just cleans up when I soil myself after he does it. So you're saying that all of these products are solving a symptom more than they're solving an actual issue. Yes, the actual problem.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Like, let's take a step back in the process. Well, unfortunately, we will not sell that at my company, underline. But if you go to bold.com, you'll find all of our products right here. Wait, who's selling bold.com? We don't know who that is. Wow. Well, incredible stuff. And so Bill and Wade, you didn't come on to talk about anything? Like Wade said, your booker is a jackass. I got booked on this show not knowing what to talk about. So if I were you, I'd talk to the booker about this. Yeah, I mean, normally I only make appearances publicly to actually pitch the products that I make. So I fancy.
Starting point is 01:05:24 myself more an entrepreneur than an ex-baseball player, if I'm being honest, Scott. So the fact that I was introduced as an ex or a legendary athlete instead of an entrepreneur, I'm a bit upset. But this is what people mainly know you from. I mean, I don't know that I would necessarily introduce George Foreman as a guy who made a couple of grills, you know. It depends on the generation I'm introducing him to, Scott. If I'm introducing him to someone who was reared in the era of the Foreman grill more so than
Starting point is 01:05:54 the era of foreman the boxing champion. But I don't think any generation knows you as a pitchman or as an entrepreneur. And that's exactly the problem, Scott. As a man, you're constantly pitching and nobody knows if you have the floor. So what we have today is the oversized polo shirt. No matter what, you tuck it in, it just barely doesn't fit you. And everybody knows, this guy's trying to sell me something. So were you interested in pitching because you pitched in that one game, Wade?
Starting point is 01:06:21 You know, I'll have to say there was a bit of a sort of mental connection. When I received an email, I mean the opportunity to come pitch my product. I thought, never mind that I said that, Scott. I was talking about when I had the bright idea for myself to come up with these products. I thought, you know, I did pitch that one game, always wanted to be a pitcher. Maybe now's my chance to really be a pitcher. And Scott, let me just say, I have one more question for you. Have you ever been wanting to relax? taking a nap, laying down in your hammock and thinking, man, I really wish I didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom. 100 emoji.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Well, Scott, from the guys who brought you bragging about how cool your car is, here we have the hammock with a toilet in it. That's right, Scott. A lot of people say that this product isn't clever. The name is too on the nose, but I'll say this, Scott. I want to see the name of the thing I'm going to get on the box. And when I see a hammock with a toilet in it, I know exactly what the thing. that is and I'm going to absolutely send four easy payments of $250 all charged on the same day to my website, superscript.com. So you sell two products on your website? Well, Scott, yes. Currently,
Starting point is 01:07:41 I've licensed to, I mean, invented two products that I sell on my website. I'm going to be honest here. You know, Jeff and Mike, you guys said $1,000 for everything in your catalog. It's seems to me like you realize that was a bad deal for you. And so you shuffled off a few of your products to your buddies over here so that you can get another couple thousand dollars here. I've never met these gentlemen before. Why are you changing your voice bill? What are you talking about? You don't have to disguise your voice to say that you don't know them.
Starting point is 01:08:15 We know you. I don't know these guys. Oh, not another Italian. I also don't know these guys. Okay. Who are they? And then after that I go... You keep saying,
Starting point is 01:08:30 like you're about to continue and then you stop to a standstill. It's one of the great public aneurisms you're seeing alive on the air, Scott. Dad, did you forget to take your medication? Oh, my God, Luke Walton. Dad, I told you, God, take your medication, dad.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Gonna have another aneurysm on the air. Dad. All right, Luke comes in. My medication is six hours of Grateful Dead albums. He puts it on and it calms me. You want to put it on now, Dad? I don't wait until you're done, Dan. Yeah, I don't know that we can get the rights to these albums here.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I don't know, though. I'm afraid you're going to have to suffer through your aneurism. You can't get the rights to it. From you talking you two to me to you talking, talking heads to my talking head. You got the rights to all the great music from the 70s, 80s, and today. And I guess now that I think about the grateful, dad is not really litigious when it comes to their music, are they? Let's just say, Cherry Garcia went and finished the sentence, somebody.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Cherry Garcia is a good friend of my dad's. Thank you, Lou. Cherry Garcia, the ice cream flavor? Yeah. Between Cherry Garcia, Americo and Dream and I had one of the fantastic dinners I've ever had. I'm great. Do you have dessert first? Oh, well, Luke, it's so great to see you.
Starting point is 01:09:57 I'm sorry about your bubble, which is not a thing that I don't think anyone would ever say before 2020. Unless, I guess, you know, someone had some old chewing gum or something. What? Never mind. Oh, bubble about gum. Yeah, no. Yeah, I'm not too sad about the bubble. I'm just glad to be in a bubble with my dad and be able to play basketball, baseball, soccer ball, all kind of sports.
Starting point is 01:10:22 So you guys are playing more than just one sport. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. I've got ball, baseball, soccer ball. They're all going down to the Walton household. You're still mid-annurism, Bill. I'm sorry. I don't have my Jerry playing yet.
Starting point is 01:10:37 It's okay. I'll power through and then I'll ride that train high on cocaine. Here, Dad. Take a spoonful of this Cherry Garcia tie over until we can put the album on. Oh, yeah. There you go. One more. One more.
Starting point is 01:10:53 I'm so sorry. Sorry to put you through this. One more. One more, you said one more before the last one. To the more. Oh, my God. There you go. You should be outliving your life.
Starting point is 01:11:06 I'm sorry. You're here taking care of your old man. Dad, no. No, don't say that, Dad. I love you, Dad. I love being in the bubble with you, Dad. I love fin your ice cream, Dad. Hey, that's my boy.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Well, look, I hate to say this, but we're running out of time. But, Bill, I think this might actually save you, because we have just a little bit of time left on the show, and only one feature left. That is a little something called plugs. Let's hear those plugs. Let's hear those plugs. Let's hear those plugs.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Let's hear those plugs. Oh, nice, pretty, short, sweet. Sounds a lot like Kool-op. This is, let's hear those plugs by Grendel is Friends. Grendel is Friends. Thank you so much to Grendel as Friends. All right, guys, what do we plug in? Obviously, Nate is coming out December 1st on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Yeah, please watch it. Thank you. Please watch dot dot dot it. Please watch it also. Please watch it. What about It Chapter 2? Yeah, I can't vouch for It chapter 2, but it is phenomenal. Has the Stranger Things kid in it.
Starting point is 01:12:27 All right. Jeff and Mike, what do you guys want to plug? Well, you know, Scott, we cannot talk enough. about the road toad, but right now, but right now we would... I appreciate you moving on to another subject, though. Absolutely. We are promoting a new website called
Starting point is 01:12:45 Big Grande website.com, where you will find two new shows from the sketch and improv group, Big Grande. You know, this is your classic content for guys. You know, as a guy, you know, not a lot of stuff is made for you. this is something that you can all really get into. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:05 And Bill, you are not looking good. And Wade Boggs, do you guys want to plug anything? You know, it's interesting, Scott. Again, an instance of your booker not doing a pre-interview because I'm actually also here to promote www. www. big grande website.com. Okay. Of course, as was just discussed, a website that contains new, two new, brand new podcast,
Starting point is 01:13:33 tune, news as news. And new content from the sketch and improv group Big Grande. Okay. It's just very interesting that we would both be coming on the show today to promote the same thing. I mean, it happens sometimes. I mean, you know, people are free to plug anything they want on the show or during the segment on this show. And sometimes there's a little bit of overlap. Can I plug one more thing?
Starting point is 01:13:57 Yeah, please. I just really want to, it doesn't get enough praise, but I really want to plug yellow mustard. I think yellow mustard needs to be used more often. Just plain yellow mustard, not the spicy kinds, not Dijon, just generic plain yellow mustard. Look at my dog. Look how it shines for you. My hot dog's got yellow. Are you interested in the art of song parody, Bill?
Starting point is 01:14:24 It's one of the most interesting things you can pitch to me. From... From Nick Thune to Weird Al Yankovic, from Dr. Intram. Usually the other way around, I would say. Well, I want to plug Auntie Donna on Netflix right now. If you're on Netflix watching Nate, hey, why not flip over to watch Auntie Donna, which is a sketch show that I produced
Starting point is 01:14:51 and very proud of. Those guys are really funny. is getting great reviews. So we hope that people will watch it. All right, well, let's close up the old plug bag. You start with a C when you want to close it up. You lead with an L, and then you owe me. Then Horatio comes, and then he just says,
Starting point is 01:15:26 ballooning all night in the day, that ain't a paradise. Let's say it us. Open up the plug. Open it. Guys, I want to thank you so much, Natalie. Always great to have you on the show. Thank you so much. Continue.
Starting point is 01:16:14 Just success, not a compliment. Okay. And just merely a statement. Sure, sure. Thanks so much for having me. Of course. And Jeff and Mike, you really pulled a couple of fast ones on me here. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Thanks so much. Now, do we talk about fresh undies? You did. Yes, that was one of the first things. Just want to make sure. Just want to make sure. Yeah. And Bill and Wade, finally the show is just about over. Bill, or sorry, Wade, very nice to meet you.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Absolutely, Scott. Thanks. It was so nice to feel like I was in the dugout instead of on third base today. You know what I mean? Surrounded by like-minded people, you know, not by myself trying to make friends with the enemy. It was really nice to chat today. Wonderful. And Wade and your son, I'm sorry, what was your son's name?
Starting point is 01:17:03 Bill and Luke Wai. Luke Walton, yeah. Oh, yeah. See ya. Thanks very much for having me. You have demolished those pints of ice cream. How many pints did you just eat, Wade? My God.
Starting point is 01:17:16 Or not Wade, Bill, of course. Well, I mean, who's counting at this point? 26, 27 pints of ice cream. Pints? Yes, pints of ice cream. We pronounce things differently across the pond. Finish off your pint, dad, and let's hit the bubble. Well, that's a good son.
Starting point is 01:17:35 That's a good son. I guess, I guess, Scott, I would rather be shot into space. Are you going to finish that or? No, I was cleaning up the Wood You Rather section. I was closing that up. Okay, no, we didn't play that on this episode. All right, guys, we'll see you next time. Thanks, bye.
