If wishes were fishes, I could finally open up my Aladdin-themed sushi chain, a whole new sea world. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Ooh, dead silence Well, thank you anyway To catch Fraser crane I have notes A.k.a. Saber toothache. Welcome to comedy. Bang, I mean, I've heard better.

Hey, wait, is that... It's me, Shimmy. Schimmy's back. Hey, Shimmy! What are you still doing here? Did you not leave? I got lost. I got lost. Lost in the backyard or lost trying to get out of the backyard? Both. Oh, no. Jimmy.

Oh, wait, there it is. Oh, geez. Wow. I wonder what he saw. The ex? How long has he been here? I heard him the exit. He's been here for three weeks, I think, since Matt Goreley's band was here.

He was part of Matt Goreley's band. Oh, wow. Oh, my gosh. Well, welcome to the show. Episode 750. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Is all of this gibberish to you, if this is the first episode you've ever heard? I'm sure it is.

but welcome nonetheless. Most episodes, most people's first episodes are gibberish. Most episodes, most people's last episodes are gibberish, probably. Probably. You mean like a death? Oh, Jimmy's bad. Whoops. Whoops.

How did he find his way back in? He was here again. Or he was mistaken when he saw whatever it was he saw. I thought you were different people. I'm sorry. Oh, wait. So what did you? I went around in a circle again.

What did you think you saw and what did you actually see? I'm not going to find the exit, but I think it's just a mirror. Oh, okay. So you think you look like an exit. To be fair, Scott's backyard is filled with mirrors. Just filled with mirrors. I started attacking this guy, but it was me. That would explain all the broken glass on the ground.

And bruises and scratches. Oh, there it is. Oh, he's got again. He's gone. All right. Welcome to the show. My name is Scott Ackerman, and we have a great show. Coming up a little later, we have a foreigner. We'll be here.

Okay. So that'll be interesting. Real brave of you. It's a real brave move on your part. You know, these days we need to welcome people from all other shows to our... All other stars and stripes. All people of all stars and stripes. That's right.

But before we get to him, I want to introduce our A-block guest. A-block. A-block. And he's been on the show many, many times. By the way, this is the backyard era. It is continuing. and I'm surprised to get him in the backyard. He hasn't been in my backyard for many moons.

Many moons. But he's here now. Look at us doing the backyard. Here is. What a delight. I haven't introduced you. I don't care. Jason Manzoukis.

Here we are. Look at this. Here we are. Here we are. Out of the closet into the yard. Okay. What a delight. That's right.

Welcome to it. What do you think of it? Gorgeous. Yeah. Gorgeous. All the mirrors. You said all the mirrors. They're all reflecting the sun back on us.

And they're all fun house mirrors. So it's like giving you a lot of different body types to choose from. There's a lot of like inflatable clown stuff going on. It's very, you have, I don't know if you've talked about this in other episodes. Your house has like a circus kind of fun house theme. It's the aesthetic of a children's birthday party is what we've been trying for. Yes. For a childless couple.

And there are always balloons up front. It's really creepy and weird. We live in the bouncy house. You live in the bouncy house and you say that the big house is for the big kids. Jay, welcome back to the show. You haven't been on in months. Yeah, months and months. So this is my first appearance in the new year, I believe, is it?

It is, yeah. You haven't been on since... I guess it's only March. We're good. Since October or something. But what have you been up to? I mean, obviously... Just hiding in my house from the Omicron wave.

But now... Has Omicron waved at you yet and called you over and say, hey. I'd like to give myself to you. I found it shouting at, from outside my windows at times, but no. Like the little boy in a Christmas carol? Yeah, like, come on out and play. Come on out.

I would say we talk about the little boy and Christmas Carol more than we talk about Tiny Tim, Fred, any of the other character. We talk about that little boy. That's your number one character. We talk about him all the time on this show. Love that kid. Love that kid.

I want to see. Where is he now? Yes, in the Carolverse. In the Carol verse. Which includes the movie Carol, of course. Of course. Wars. Where is that kid? Like, I want to see the sequel where he grows up and he becomes a miser. I would love, you know what? The Carolverse has been like completely, we've talked about the

dark universe. We've talked about all these expanding universes. Oh my God, the dark universe. I can't wait until they get back to that. We got to get back to the dark universe. We got to go back. We got to go back. It's like lost. The aborted dark universe. Oh, yeah. Oh, now, you know, you can't even, you can't even not have the dark universe in Texas anymore. That's right. Yeah, you're not allowed to show... You're not allowed to develop any more dark. Russell Crow is not even allowed in Texas anywhere.

Nope. A.k.a. Dr. Jekyll. Wasn't he? He was? I think that's what he was. Well, that on a plane. They cut out the entire plane crash. Is that right? That's a quaint custom that they, I believe they still do on movies where they will cut out any plane crash because they don't want people freaking out.

out when they're watching a movie on a plane and going like, that can happen? I think there should be, I think there should be an option to just watch plane crash movies. Yeah, just fight club. Yeah. The one with, the one with Jeff Bridges and Rosie.

Fearless. Yes, thank you. Saw that in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Bubbles, her son was, wasn't her child's name Bubbles? Was it? Was it on my lap? And her child died in the plane crash, wasn't that right?

I don't recall that particularly. line. Bubbles was on my lap. Something like that. I've had some bubbles on my lap, though. I don't. Explain it. I had sex with Michael Jackson's monkey. Wow. You could have just had it sit on your lap, but you had sex with it.

I was like, hey, why not go all the way with this? I mean, not a lot of our listeners know. You spent a lot of time at Neverland. Yeah, I did. Well, I was a young wee child who was fascinated with a very good singer. Oh, yeah. That's how you. you would describe Michael Jackson.

Is it not a very good singer? A very good singer. One of the great. Famous good singer, Michael Jackson. Will you go see the Michael Jackson musical? No. No? I will not. I can still listen to his records because they bring back memories of a certain time in my life,

but I will not go see any new material. Got it. Yeah. I get it. Although he's dead, so who cares? Who gets his money? Sure. Absolutely.

You know, we're doing for how did this get made? We're doing Diana the musical? Oh. Which I am very excited about. I don't even know what it is. It's a musical about Princess Diana. Okay. And it is like all, it's her life, including I think the car crash.

I think it's crazy. Do they put in the song Dirty Diana in it just to be like. The song Dirty Diana is in the musical. No. That's, and you hate musicals, although you were talking to me recently off mic. Off mic. And you said, and this was a stound day. Not reveal anything to me.

Do not reveal anything I tell you off mic. Oh, shit. I'm afraid I'm going to have to because this, I hate to sell you out, but you said this, you did not ask for it to be off the record when you. That's true. So unfortunately, I can reveal it. I need to start saying off the record. You liked a musical recently.

I thought that West Side Story was good. I thought, I didn't like, I'll be honest, I didn't like the songs. I didn't, I mean, I said I didn't just like them. You turned it off during the songs. But I was like, it was a beautiful. beautifully shot movie. It was like a, it was like, I like, listen, Spielberg is making incredible moves constantly.

And it's gorgeous to watch. I did find myself as I do with all musicals being like, well, stop singing and just keep telling you, keep telling you the story I'm enjoying. Guys, just have a conversation. Keep acting. I don't understand why you're all jumping around and dancing and singing now. You were in the middle of something really good.

No, wait, but what about the, what about the songs where they are intended to be dancing? Like they go to an actual dance and they're dancing. See, great. Fine by you. Diagetic dancing, great. Dancing in the streets that people are meant to think is not dancing. What about the video dancing in the streets with Mick Jagger and David Bowie? Yep, love it.

You love it. They're dancing in Chicago. They're dancing down in New Orleans. Or Norlands? You ever see that? I forget what it was on. It felt like it was maybe that one of those Broadway is back specials or something, but Jimmy Fallon sang dancing in the streets.

No. And you haven't seen it? I haven't seen it and I don't want to. And it's now... He's saying it, I'm assuming, doing impressions. Doing both of them. Oh, both of them. Doing both.

He was a, The records playing and bands are playing. And then he was doing the Mick Jagger moves during May. It was very weird, but he never said like, he just, that's just the way he learned the song, I think. Wow. Interesting. Is it not?

That's fascinating. The interesting psychology of the man like that. We'll link to it in the show notes just so everybody can watch. We do a lot of that. We do a lot of linking in the show notes. You ever see that movie Lincoln? Lincoln in the show notes. Oh, who's that?

It's me, Thin Lizzie. And guess what? I didn't sing smoking in the boys' room. I sang the boys are back in time. I like, you're here to clear that up. Okay, take care of Thin Lizzie. What I liked about that was that Thin Lizzie took his mic all the way around to his mouth. to do that.

And in the lead-up, I gotta say he's too thin these days. I watched. He's like 80, he's 85 pounds at this point. Oh, very thin. Perilessly.

I will say, thin Lizzie has gotten too thin. Too thin. Like, this is now anorexic Lizzie. Let's make him carb libsy. Libby. Libby. I loved, but I did.

I watched inspiration happen. The mic get all the way turned around. This mic is turning around. This mic is going 180. This has to happen. Oh, the backyard era. Hey, I forgot to tell you guys. Oh, hey, then Lizzie.

I'm now called body positive, Lizzie. I like my body. I'm fine with it. We don't. We think you need to eat. You got to eat something. Your body shaving me. No, we're worried.

It's not good. What is your doctor say? It's a fine line between. body shaming and concern. I'm body positive, Lizzie, and that's all you need to know. Is that what you tell you're a physician? Yes.

I also say, the boys are back in town when I walk in the office. And then I go have a cigarette in the men's room. Wait a minute. Oh, boy. Oh, my goodness. Good stuff. Good stuff.

The backyard era, the B-Y-E. Well, that's the thing is, is I don't have a perimeter secured around my backyard. So people just are just wandering in it. People can just wander in. And you have an open door policy, you know, much like the studio. That's the thing. Well, ever since I started doing them back here, we leave all of our doors open.

Yep. Smart. No alarms on. So smart. So smart. The place looks like a fun house carnival ride. And the thieves can tell from Instagram when I'm out of the house. You have a barker outside saying house is empty.

They're in the backyard. Just a constant stream of children as well, like celebrating all of their birthday parties. It's like a McDonald's. Playland? Playland or Funland or whatever it's called? Yeah, what do they call those? I don't know. That's a good question.

Did they copyright that term, Funland or Playland or whatever it is? Probably. It would be like them, wouldn't it? You know what McDonald's? Oh, what a crock. It's weird that he didn't invent crocs. Instead, he invented McDonald's. Yeah, well, I mean, he didn't really.

The McDonald's did. The guy named McDonald's, you know, he invented the farm. Yeah. He bought it. He certainly did. He's dead now. He's dead now. E.I. E.I.O.

E.I. E.I.O. I think I said that like Carson or something. E.I. Ye. Oh, my gosh. Your Carson's getting really good now, especially as the generations are not knowing the reference. What he sounds like. You're basically doing all of your, all of your impressions are of, are from the 80s. They're based on death too. Like when a person dies, I can do a shit.

That's when you start. No, I can do the shit. shittiest impression. And the further they get away from life, the better my impression gets. That's when you start working on it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Well, today, when I walked in, you said I'm starting to work on my, on my William

hurt. Here I go. God, how did how, I feel like someone does a William hurt, but I'm trying to remember, like, what would it be like? Oh, it would be just a boring like. Very flat. Very. Hi. See, it'll get better. Have you felt my body? We're seeing it at the beginning. We're seeing it at the

very beginning. Because he's just passed and we'll see you working. My state is altered. In five years, in five years, you won't even need the references. We'll know exactly what we're talking about. You'll just be able to live in the hurt.

Of course, we're talking about a person who passed away two weeks ago and rest in peace to him and to everyone who's died ever. Okay. All right, Pete, to everyone who's died ever. Which it didn't have to happen,

but this earth of ours would be very crowded if it didn't. It's crowded already. Have to hang out with cavemen all day? Have you been doing plane breaks? Occasionally, yeah. When we first started the backyard era, we did some plane breaks. Yeah.

Because I, you know what? I miss a plane break from the old studio days. Yeah, well, if I had that song at my fingertips, I would maybe do it. Don't you worry about it. Jay, we have to get to our first cast. I would love to. It's wonderful to have you as a co-host, especially on episode 750. Can you believe it's been going that long?

What is it? 12 years? we're almost at our 13th anniversary in a month wow wow yeah old old as hell what our references Carson look at this

Christmas Carol yeah thin Lizzie we haven't we haven't had we haven't had a modern reference in the entirety of this episode so far from the 21st century what can we talk about

yeah exactly look at you you're struggling Rosalia? I mean, we talked about Westside story? Yeah. I've heard like nothing.

Nothing is new. Oh my God. I apologize to the listener, but hopefully you're enjoying yourself. But we have to get to her. Yeah, we were going to talk about comics for this whole time,

but let's just go to that. No, no one wants to hear that, especially on CBBWorld.com. Yeah. No one wants to hear that show. Let's just go straight to this first guest. Let's go straight to the guest. He is,

he's been on the show several times. He is, the aforementioned foreigner. And I believe he refers to himself as a royal watcher. And we'll talk to him about what that means. I believe we've covered it before on the show. But please walker. It couldn't be easier to understand.

It really is right there in the name. Royal watchers. I watch the royals. Yes. And if you need an infusion of modernity into your show, you'll come to the right man because we will be talking about the royals, the Windsors. I got the Pfizer, actually, so I'm good. My goodness, no.

Although you know, well, it's funny you should say that because, you know, Queen Lisbis has recently had a bit of a row. Yes, I want to talk about that. Let me introduce you. Your name is Byron Deniston. Oh, yes, thank you. Yes, wonderful to be. Hello, gentlemen.

Hello, it's over to see you, Byron. Yes, yes, yes. You've flown across what they call the pond. No, no. Lately, I have recently relocated to the grounds of Prince Harry and Megan's home. Really? Where do they live? now up in Vancouver or something?

Up in Santa Barbara. They live like in Montecito or something. Like near Oprah kind of Montecito, yes. Beautiful country there. Very near to Oprah. As a matter of fact, she has a habit of stopping by unannounced because they did say, please come by any time and she's really taking it quite seriously.

She's just taking advantage of them. Well, I don't know that she thinks of it that, but I'll be quite honest with you. After she leaves half the time, they say, you know, again, really? What are we supposed to say? You know, she keeps dropping it. I can only imagine if you don't, like, buy any groceries, just how tempting that would be.

What do you mean? I don't know. How tempting would be to not buy groceries? To not buy groceries and just go over to your neighbor's house all the time. Oh, you mean like to throw a cup of sugar, quote? Well, you know, like how Kramer used to just like come right into the kitchen every time he would come into Jerry's house? Sure. Oh, yeah.

Do you know what? Did you have Seinfeld or did you have a different show there? Oh, no. No, we, you know, Seinfeld was based on a British series. Oh, it was. Yes, really? Yes, of course it was. Yes, we only did four

Four Seinfelds One cycle, or no, one series One, no, two series and a Christmas special Oh, okay, so two, the series were two episodes each Yes, each series was two episodes And then the Christmas special was only ten minutes What was it called? It was called Carr

Car. Car. Oh, so? He was Jimmy Car. Oh, really? He was wonderful. It was just called Car. And what were they, like, who was Kramer,

who was Elaine, who was George? And I'm sure they were not Jewish like they were. No, certainly not. No, British, yes. More British than Jewish. Yes. Well, what did you mean who were there? They were sort of the people in Carr's life.

And Jimmy Carter. So they're all just based on his path. Yes, exactly. Yes. So he had a whimsical neighbor and all that. And, yes. And this fellow signed film just sort of adapted it for American television. Wow, and people don't know that.

Yeah. I mean, it's like the office, yeah. So many. American shows are just, yeah. All those, everything that was ever on NBC on Thursday nights was adapted from the British, right? 30 Rock, wasn't that 30 Stone?

30 Stone. Yep. And it was about somebody who weighed 30 Stone. Yes, yes. It's a different show. But, yeah, that's absolutely right. Of course, Friends was based on coupling. Yeah, of course.

And coupling was based on friends. Yeah, the cycle continues. Yes, on and on. Hopefully they'll keep going back and forth where suddenly like then friends will be based on coupling, America's coupling. Never mind.

Right. I think Veronica's closet was based on... Veronica's flat or something like that. Yeah, something. Amelia's W.C. The water closet. In the UK it was a water closet. Right. Yeah. Because in the UK you guys keep all your water in closets.

Well, we try to. Yes. I mean, why have water in the living room? No, exactly. That's the idea. I don't know where you'll keep your... Do you guys not have wet bars there? Wet bars. I don't know the phrase.

I'm not familiar with the phrase. It's like a sink that is near the main living space in order so you don't have to walk all the way to the kitchen to make yourself a drink. Oh, no, no. No. You want to keep water away from all that. Right. We have little bells that we ring for someone to come and take care of all of them.

What about wet bars? You know, like a bar, like you go to a bar. Oh, by the way, wet day is coming up. I got to remind myself. What are you guys doing? I was going to ask, what are you guys doing for wet day? What is wet day? Is this something, the American bank holiday here in the States?

Well, it's going to be. Yeah, we're celebrating the first one. It's one of the new holidays that is taking off. Really? Yeah. Wet day. You got to get wet. I guess you got to get wet.

I don't know how we're celebrating, but we are. It's coming up in like, GGW. 12 days or something. Is it really? 12 days? Yeah. Spend the whole day wet? I think so, yeah. You'd hate it in England.

Well, you know, it's very soggy there anyway. Every day is wet day, really. Wonderful, Byron. Thank you. Thank you. But, you know, today is a bank holiday. It's Commonwealth Day. Did you know that?

Oh, wow. We're taping this a little bit earlier. It's a Commonwealth Day. Yes, on Monday, the 14th, the Commonwealth Day. Oh, so I'm surprised you're here. Are you, can I ask you, Byron, just because you said you've been here a while, are you allowed back in?

In the UK? Back in the UK, not at the moment. Well, it's nothing. At the moment. I mean, that could change. Let me put it this way. I would have to come in in a sort of creative way, perhaps by boat. Ah.

Yeah, what's the easiest way to access England? Is it by land, by sea, by air? One would prefer, I think, to fly straight into Heathrow. I think the way that they're not guarding would be to like walk across the bottom of the ocean. They're definitely not guarding that. And then go up. Oh, that would be smart. They're not guarding that.

That would be very smart. Have you thought about that? Yeah, like getting some... Walking across the seafloor? I can say I have not thought about it, no. Maybe a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus or something? That I have thought of. But what I do instead is I sort of...

I take a... I go... I fly to Iceland and then I take a boat to one of the lesser Scottish islands. Oh. I sort of tramp about until I get to London. And I do that a few times a year. Is this the first Commonwealth Day you've missed? Yes, but I thought it was okay

because also missing this Commonwealth Day. is the queen herself. Oh, wow. That's right. You mentioned the queen. Because of her recent COVID? Yeah, what's been going on with her? That's what she says.

Oh, my boy. My voice just tell me that is not the reason. What? That is not. No, no, no. COVID barely made a dent. That is what she says. That is what she says.

Was that in the British office? That's the British office. That is what she says. No, I think in Britain it was that, that is what one says. Oh, okay. That is what one says. This is very hard. That is what one says.

Yes, precisely. Yes, that is what one says. But she did not have COVID because this was a... No, no, she had COVID, but COVID, I mean, it's attacking royal blood, you know what? I mean, it's a divinity to the blood in a royal. I see. And so it stands no chance whatsoever. Of course, she beat it back effortlessly, right?

And then she sort of... At her age, I was surprised. Yeah, how old is she? She's like 98? I believe that's right. Yes, I believe that's right. Jeez. But she made short work of COVID.

You're shy of Betty White. Who do you think lasts longer? Betty White or the queen? Oh. Betty White has passed. I know, but she only got to 99 is what I'm saying. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Now I was like, oh, no. Oh. The queen will live to 99, but not long after. So I think Betty White. Really? Can you, I mean, if you're... How do you know this? Oh, because I'm privy to the plans to...

Being or machinations? Yes. There are some very elaborate plans to celebrate the Queen's platinum Jubilee in June. Is there a royal, you're a royal watcher. Is there like a royal oracle? Is there somebody who, you know, prophesies about the royal, you know, everybody in the royal family? Well, there's any number of sort of psychics, whatever, functioning in England and focusing on the royals. Sears.

Yes. But nobody that is inside of their world. Nobody that is part of the palace. I'd say this. No one is closer to the royals than me. Wow, okay. You know it all. You mean physically?

Physically. Physically. You are the eyeballs behind the paintings. I am very often, particularly at Windsor Castle, the eyeballs behind the paintings. And as you may know, Buckingham Palace is undergoing a 10-year renovation. It's never been easier to get in and out of that. It's put on a hard hat and in you go. It seems really weird.

The queen is about to die. And they're like, hey, let's start a renovation that you're not going to live to see. Well, yes, it does seem strange until you understand what exactly they're renovating. Oh, why? What is going on there? As you know, we've talked in the past about how all of the royals of Europe needed to go to the city hall in Alph and Andon, Rhinandh, in the Netherlands. Oh, I sort of remember this. What was this about?

Well, it's a spaceship, really, in addition to being a functioning city hall, which is also a spaceworthy vehicle. And I suppose the Royals of Britain have decided they'd rather not travel to the Netherlands for that. And so while they are saying that the renovation of Buckingham Palace is all about the heat and the electricity and whatnot, It's really, they're putting in a spaceship. They're retrofitting it for for the day that they have to leave. They're doing their own spaceship. Are they making everyone come to them or they're just going to be? They're just doing their own thing.

They're doing their own thing. Here forward, yes. Oh, Britain first. Britain first, exactly. I mean, they're Brexit. They're Brexiting. They're Brexiting this royal agreement that the, it's the Danish ring that have the spaceship? Well, no, it's the Netherlands.

Yes. Yes, which may be the Danish. Who knows what's a country? All those people. Who is what's going on? The Danes, the melancholy Danes. Oh, how interesting. Okay.

So, do you think that Prince Charles is furious that his mother has lived this long? I, you got it. I mean, he's not a young man himself. He's been told since birth he's going to be king. Especially like old. Eating all the British food, the pudding and all that kind of stuff. Oh, the pudding? All that pudding.

Uda pudding? All that pudding. Yeah, all that pudding. Yes, he's been mold and patient, but he's ready. He's ready. He's ready. And it will happen on June, June the 5th is the day that he will. What is June the 5th?

That is the final day of the Platinum Jubilee celebration for the Queen. What is the Platinum Jubilee Celebrating? It marks 70 years on the throne. Oh, wow. And then she will stand down? No, no, no. She will give an address from her throne, at the end of which she will press a button and there will be an extraordinary explosion.

And that is. Of the entire palace? Or the throne itself? The throne itself. Yes, the throne itself. So Charles will never even ascend the throne. No, no, no. He will become the king thing.

He'll become the king. He'll build his own throne. Yeah, he'll have to build his own throne. He will need his own. His own explosive throne? Is that part of the transition? Is that part of the transition of power is that each new king or queen has to build their own throne? Well, is it like IKEA?

Is it like IKEA? Do you have IKEA? What do you have to assemble your own throne? You have to make it yourself. I don't know that Charles will be making his own. throne, but he will need a new throne, that's for certain. But yes, this is how the queen chooses to go out, and I think it's beautiful. And nobody knows it yet.

Only I have seen the schematics. I love that she's doing it on her own terms. Oh, absolutely. And you've heard the conversations, she's cool with this. Oh, it's her plan. She wants to do it. She's insisting on it and there have been multiple high-level meetings trying to talk her out because it will be televised, and a lot of people think it might be disturbing.

The queen says, this is how I'd like to go out. I heard she's having Michael Bay shoot it With like nine cameras Cameras Cameras all over the place And Bay is the only one Who would be in the room with her I heard she said she wanted that

Signature Bayhem That is what Yes What do they call him in England Michael Pond or I'm not Do you have to change your name When you got to England

Not that I'm aware of I mean okay So people can keep their names When they go I think so I think so Yes that's totally fair Oh well this is

incredible. And she didn't have COVID or she she had COVID? Why did you say that? Oh, because she's been using it as an excuse to do things she doesn't want to do anyway. And so today, for instance, the Commonwealth Day, she's frolicing about Windsor Castle with her husband's Jim Broadbenton, Jim Belushi. And any number of other. The jbs. The J.Bs. Yes. A.K.A. the J.Bs. Any number of other back up for James Brown. Ever since James Brown died, they've had nothing to do. Fred Wesley. The J.B. The J.B. horns are there playing.

Macy O. Parker. Always, yes. Our references are still 50 years old. Very old. Well, but that's what she's doing. And she's, you know, she is just loving the life of a freewheeling widow. Wow. Why does she want to go out?

Just say she, why didn't she just say she has long COVID and she can do whatever she wants? I believe she may do something quite like that. Wow. Until she blows herself up on the throne. Right. What did you say? June 2 is when this? June the 5th.

June the 5th. Okay, so you'll have to come back after this. I will come right back and we'll discuss the explosion in fine detail. Is there any fear that she's going to press the button, it'll blow up and she won't die, that she'll just be like half of her faces melted off and this is all, she'll be staggering around like a half-burnt-up zombie or anything like that? Well, that would be terrible. That's why I bring it up.

Yes, I fear it now that you've said it. But I think the queen, she's seen to every specification, herself. Oh, okay. Yes, yes, yeah. She knows what will kill herself. I'm really easy. I am curious. Is she making sure to, in the aftermath, make sure that the people will know

that she planned this herself because it could be perceived of as an assassination. Oh, you know. So will she have parting words? Will it be revealed? Bye bitches. Yes, yes, I think so. Yes, yes. Like doing a double bird

to the cameras? By bitches. Bye bitches. Well, I've only seen a rough drum. of those. Thank you next. You've seen a rough draft? I've only seen a rough draft of the address, and it does say something like, here's my final gift to you.

And in closing, fuck you, Diana. And then she presses this button. She's going to see Diana in hell. Yes, that's it. See you in hell. Wow. Yes, yes.

But I really just does show like how much of an impact Diana had on her. You know, then her dying words are about, about Diana. Yes, yes. She despises her. She despises her.

To this very day. Wow. Well, this is, I mean, so then Charles is, is going to build his own throne? Is there a sort of a period where no one is king because he hasn't built the throne yet?

No. I think... Well, I don't know. That's a good question. Could someone with a throne that's already pre-built, like step in and go, no, I'm king. I have a throne.

I'm here. Well, perhaps then I should not have mentioned this because up to now, this has been a complete secret and so no one would have known to get started on a throne. I mean, anybody from Game of Thrones could go and get

The prop throne? But it takes about three months to build a throne. A proper throne. Yeah. I think at this point, if you got started, yes. Oh, my. You could get in there on June 6 and be like...

All right. Well, if you're hearing this, please don't build a throne. I'm saying, I think what Scott and I're saying is you could build a... You do it. I could build it. Become the king of England. I mean, you'd have to watch yourself, but yes. My goodness.

What do you mean? I have to watch myself. Oh, because I'm a royal watch. Watching myself. Yes. Yeah, you wouldn't have to watch your P's and Q's. No, no. Surely not.

That's an interesting idea. What would I do as king? Oh, my God. With all that power. And access to a spaceship soon. Yes, yes. Yeah, you'd behead people. You would be able to marry whomever you wanted.

Yes, I would. Yes. Oh, I like your idea. Well, listen, I don't know if it'll work, but why not? I'll get started on a throne today. Get started on a throne. We're not saying. As simply as a hobby, it would be, wouldn't that be great?

Also, you should YouTube it. Oh, yeah, definitely. Like, you know, like, you know, like, Byron D. Yeah. Hey, hey, guys. So today, today we're working on the base. You know, if you've, if you've been watching the series so far,

we've gotten two arms done and we're going to keep working on this base. You could do a little side, like Scepter spin-off YouTube. Oh, what a good idea. Hit that subscribe button if you like this. Just smash that like. Yes, yes. Recommend to all your friends and all that. Yes.

Yeah, this would be great. And so when you come back on June 6th, whatever. I'm presuming you'll be king at this point. Wow, can you imagine having a royal on the show? Yeah. Not just a royal, the king of all England. Can you imagine? I mean, that would be incredible. That would be so good. I bet that would be the biggest episode you would ever have. Yes. June 6 is literally a Monday, so I hope you'll be back on then, yes. I should be back on that very day. And you'll be king of England. Holy shit. I can't believe it's really this simple. Don't second guess this. No, I know. It's just, it's all out of the blue. I know. I know.

I never imagined myself, I mean, I imagined myself marrying into royalty. Sure, of course. And that has been, well, you were at one point engaged, if I'm not mistaken. Weren't you right to Princess? Nearly. Amelia? Princess Amelia? Well, she's not a princess.

Oh, my bad. I had my sight set on Lady Amelia Spencer, a niece of Diana. And, well, there was a duel between me and her intended fellow. What was her intended's name? It was like the... Oh, we looked it up. It was the gris. Well, yes.

Griswold? Was he one of the Griswold? His last name is Millard or something. I don't know. But he goes by the Gris. He's known as the Gris. Greg Millard or something. And his friends call him the Gris.

But he and I had a duel with swords. With swords. And I did lose. But you know what? All this time later, they're still not married. So you know what I'm saying? There is something. There is something's going on.

Interesting. I think, you know, especially if you're king? Yeah. Who could resist marrying a king? I mean. Get that information out there. But I have a thought to challenge him to challenge him to another duel. Can you do a redo of a duel?

A re-dual? Well, I survived it, barely, but I did. I think I can. And my thought this time, this is a bit wild. If they reboot the Batman all the time, you could do another duel, right? Absolutely. A duel over? The duel over.

Part do. I'm dual. You may not know. The gris is for a living. Wow, look at those birds up there. Do you have birds like that up in Merry Old England? I bet they're all sad and rained on all the time, so they're just like sopping wet and just like,

sopping wet birds. That means something else in England. Oh, that's right. Sopping wet birds. That is what one says. That is what one says. That was two crows chasing a falcon, I believe. Why chase a falcon?

Well, because the falcon wants their babies. And in England, the falcon just gets what he wants, I think. The Ravens yield to the falcon. That was Super Bowl last year, I believe. The Ravens yielded to the falcons. Yeah, I think so. I think you may be right. Well, was I, oh yes, I'm, the gris.

Do you know what he does for a living? I have no clue, no conception. Laffable and pathetic. What does a guy named the Gris do for a living? He's a water polo instructor. No. I'm afraid so. Instructor.

Not even a player. Well, he knows the game inside and out. And my plan is to challenge him to a one-on-one game of water polo. Polo. Why challenge him at what he does best precisely to all the more humiliate him?

Are you, have you played water polo at all? Never in my life. Oh, Byron. No, no, no. Can you imagine if I were to best him at the thing of the world?

I can imagine if the odds are stacked against you, like staggeringly so. It's a wonderful underdog story. I mean, I don't know that I have the time now

that I'm building a throne. But this was my plan to train up and get myself ready and take on the Here's what I say. Yes. I say, build the throne, become king, then you'll have dominion over the gris, over at Lady Amelia. Would he be one of your subject?

Could you put him to death? Well, I don't see why not? I mean, why not, like, you could just take care of this without the duel. Although. To the executioner. I would maybe challenge him to the duel first, see how it works out. And then if it doesn't work out, your first act as king is to put the gris to death. Well, if it does work out too, if it does or it doesn't.

Yeah, exactly. You don't want the Gris sniffingham Palace. No, no. Buckingham Palace. Oh, gentlemen, this is a wonderful plan. This is a great plan. Do you want to put it out there to the Gris

that you're ready to duel? Absolutely. Listen to me, you. He's all the way in England, right? So hopefully this podcast will reach his ears. The Gris, you bested me at swords. I give it to you, you did. But this time you're going down,

down into the deep end of the water pole. pool. Oh. I will defeat you in your area of expertise. I hereby challenge you, sir, to a game of water polo for the hand of Lady Amelia Spencer. Wow. Wow.

Well, now... Now, I'm curious, Byron, but you still want to marry Lady Amelia, because prior you were just trying to do that to get on the spaceship in the Netherlands. But now are you doing it for love? I've fallen full. Oh, wow. That is a great love story. Thank you.

Yes, it is, isn't it? To simply target a woman whom you've never spoken to. You've never spoken to it. Just for the benefit of getting off planet. Yes. And then to fall for her. That's like a real rom-com.

That's a Nancy Myers right there. I agree. And it'll be a wonderful thing to be telling our grandchildren someday. Oh, it's a beautiful story. I had no interest in her whatsoever except as a ticket off Earth. And then I fell in love. Well, Byron, I have a little bit of a surprise for you. Oh.

Now, when I said that the gris is all the way over there across the pond, I was fibbing a little bit because I happened to know the gris's whereabouts. Oh, no. And the gris is actually right here in this very backyard of mine. I feel that this is not quite fair. And I wanted to surprise you with him. Is that the gris is musically here? Please welcome the Gris. Well, well, well, well.

Byrd as I live and breathe. I don't know. I feel I've been rather shabbily treated here. In one way. You lied to me. You lied to me. How did I lie to you other than by a mission? No, you told me he was across the pond.

This is a very unpleasant. This is a man who stabbed me in the abdomen with a sword last time. And I will again. I meant the pond in my backyard, aka my swimming pool. Yes, and he was on the other side. Yes, I suppose. Do my ears deceive me, or did someone challenge me to a game of water polo? Well, yes, but not today.

Me, a water polo instructor of 31 years of age. Yes, I suppose. You're a very good shape, yes. Guys, guys, we have to take a break, unfortunately. So I know this is a very dramatic moment to take a break out. Speaking of breaks, I'm going to break you and have Bairn Deniston. No, no, you won't. When we come back, we'll have more Byron Deniston.

We'll have more the gris. Probably a water polo duel. Oh, my gosh. Right here. Right here in the pool. I'm not ready. I knew this pool. A pool duel.

How, like, when's the last time you had a good pool pool pool? Pool del. Never. I don't think back here. So this is incredible. We have more Jason Manzookus. We'll be right back with more comedy bang back after this. Comedy Bang Bang, Bang, we're back. Jason Manzuka is here from How Did This Get Made?

Are you up to 750 episodes of that? Not even close. We do a lot fewer episodes than you do. I have blown you out of the water. Absolutely. That is what one says. And also welcome to Byron Deniston over here. Yes, here I am, yes.

Who's sweating and perspiring like Prince Andrew cannot. Shaking like a leaf. Oh yeah, what is that? Before we get to the grids, what's been going on with Prince Andrew? Oh, my God, it's terrible. Well, you know, Prince Andrew, you're familiar with this.

He was accused by a woman of having sex with her when she was only 17 and assaulting and all this. The Beatles sang about it. And he was like a Jeffrey Epstein associate. A close friend of Jeffrey Epstein's, yes. Like his wingman. Yes, a bit, yes, you may say, yes. Yes. And so part of the evidence against him was that another third party said, oh, I saw them together to nightclub and he was drenching sweat and they were dancing and having a good time. And Prince Andrew came forward forcefully and he said, no, that can't have been me.

In a bold interview, a bold interview. Oh, yes, yes. He said, I am not, I'm physically not capable of perspiring through down the gauntlet. He said he had not heard that. I had not heard that. that made him unable to sweat. As a result, at which point, they produced many pictures of him sweating. Well, no, no, no, no, no. You're being entirely unfair. It was a result of the PTSD of having flown a fighter jet during the Falklands War.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Ever since then, he was unable to perspire. A terrible conflict. Yes, but of course, he's terribly embarrassed of this condition. And so went out in public on a hot day or when exercising something like that. He will have his valet, sprits him down with water to make it appear that he's sweating. And so those are the photos that you'll see. Oh, that makes sense.

Yes, it makes perfect sense. Look at Little Byron that he's in acting like he knows anything about the royal family. I know everything about the royal family, my God. I mean, Gris, to be fair, he does know a lot about the royal family. He thinks he does. Oh, and then you know more? I'm inside it, aren't I, dear? Well, I'm inside.

I'm literally inside the walls. Lady Amelia's going to be in my bottle, isn't she? Well, isn't it interesting? You've been engaged for almost two years now, haven't you? And yet no movement toward a wedding date. What's going on there? I does as I please, Byron. I does as I please.

Are you sure the lady isn't having second thoughts, cold feet and whatnot? She's having third thoughts. I like to engage him again. What? First, I like, I'd like to engage him. Then I engaged her. Then I liked to engage him again. Then I said, but dear, we're already engaged.

Then she forgets and says, I like to engage him again. She remembers the first, forgets the second. Are you quite sure? I think after all this time she must be thinking maybe it's not such a great idea. How did you engage, by the way, the first time? I'm sure it was just to be. Yeah, well, you know what? I don't know, Grizz.

Have we ever found out your love story with Lady Amelia? Yeah. What is the, how did you guys meet? How did you meet? How does a guy named Gris meet Lady Amelia? Thank you for asking. Yes. Lady Amelia and I met at a discotheque.

Oh. Another very modern reference. In Ibiza. Oh, okay. A disco-kick in a Beetha. So, and how long ago was this? You've been engaged two years. How long have you been dating?

We've been, we've known each other for a long. long time. Oh, really? We were best friends, weren't we? Oh, wow. Like a when Harry met Sally kind of scenario? Friends first? Or a school children?

No, we don't have Jewish people in England. There's a couple. Do you mean like when Bertram met, met Beatrice? Yes. The movie that when Harry Metzalli was based on. Where did she have that fake orgasm? It couldn't have been in Kansas Deli. It was a herons, I believe.

It was a herons. It was at Arons and she, and when she finished faking the orgasm, an old lady at the counter turned around and said, I say that does look ripping. Oh, wow. I should like to be served the same thing that she was served. Wow. So you were friends and then just one night love bloomed?

One night love bloomed. Wow. We was looking at each other across the pool. I was instructing how to play water polo at the time. How is she as a player? She's all right. Not bad. Not bad.

Yeah. Why did she want to play water polo? I think to get closer to me. Wow. To see me with me shirt off. Yeah, I get it. You're very, like, you know, you're young. You have like an incredible body, a swimmer's body, I'm assuming.

Yeah, you're very wide. Yeah. I'm very wide. Yeah. Yeah, delts, lats, the whole thing. You got those cum gutters? Those CGs? You got those UK CGs?

We call them semen sewers in the UK. You do, okay. The drain right into the Thames. I heard in Australia they go the opposite way. Oh, yes, that's true. It goes up. Goes up. So you know my mate, the Zerg.

The Zerg. We got to get the Zerg on the show. We got to get the ZER. The Australian version of the Gris, that guy is a lot. You know, that everyone in Australia is a mirror version of everyone here. Really? Yeah. So, wait, there's a me there?

No, no, no, everyone in the UK. Oh, way, in the U. Right? No. Oh, here in. In this hemisphere. Oh, I see. It's hemisphere, swine.

It's mirror images of the whole hemisphere. Exactly. Wow. It's terrified. Don't ever go. So were you guys just, like, in the pool? and you kissed? Or, well, like, where was your first physical?

When did you get physical with Lady Amelia? If you don't mind me asking. Not until the night of the engagement. Wow. Really? How sweet? We remain chased until that moment. But that's not, you're supposed to remain chased until your wedding day, which of course

may never come. Spoken like a true non-royal. Wow. Oh, no, no. Well, you're not a royal yet, to be fair. Right. I'm closer than he is. Yeah.

Are you, though? I'm building a throne. I've built several thrones over my lifetime. Of your life, really? My first throne I built, I was five years old. Even before Lady Amelia, you were just building thrones? That's right. I was just building thrones.

Wow. What do you do with them? Mostly I'd give them to friends. Oh, that's true. What a nice gift. What a nice non-obtrusive gift. I built you a throne. Would you say no?

Oh, no, I would happily take a throne as someone delivered it to my house. Exactly. So then is it really more of a race at this point? I'm to build a throne and then he's already got one, and then on the day of the Jubilee, whoever gets it to the throne room first is the king? Don't you see?

What? If you're not a peer of the realm, it don't matter, do it? What do you mean by that? You're just a nobody. You're one of the rabble, one of the peasants. Wow. But I'll have built a throne and gotten it to the throne room first, and I will be king, don't you see?

Well, if you get into the throne room first, but there's no chance of that happening, because you're going to drown during our water. Polo didn't you. Byron, you look Byron, I'm just curious because I don't know if we've ever gotten to this. How old are you? Oh, yes.

58 years old. 58 years old. That's oldest. And the Gris is 31, did you say earlier? 31. Wow. Why take him on in Waterpole? Why lay down this particular gauntlet?

The whole idea was to have a few months practice at Water Polo so that I could humiliate him. But now here we are. A few months. Yes. Would you add a minute? Few months. I was going to work on it every single day for about three months.

How many minutes a day? How many minutes? Up to 60. Every day. That wouldn't have cut it. Of course it would. I'm a natural athlete. I really am.

Anything I'm trying to take up, I do rather well. Sure. As all the British are. Certainly, yes, yes. Badmitten, you know. Look, I think your only hope here is to do some sort of like air. bud situation where you substitute a dog for you or something?

Oh, sorry. That's your answer. There's something in the rule book. There's something in the rule books that says a dog cannot play war polo. Oh, damn. That's too bad. I was born in a swimming pool. Wow. What happened? What do you mean what happened? Your mom just was swimming?

It was all purpose. Oh, okay. It was a water berth at home. It was a water berth at home. And I was raised in a swimming pool for the first. Five years of me life. Now that's even more interesting. How, like your home was a swimming pool? My home was a swimming.

Wow. They would bring me my tea in the pool on one of those little inflatable trays and then push it over to me. Would it be made from pool water? No. This water, you can't drink pool. No. Honestly, filthy. You've got a baby in there living in the pool at all times.

Disgusting. You're a filthy pool, baby. Absolutely disgusting. You have no idea. In Britain, to be a pool, baby, is a great status symbol. Yeah, I guess. I mean, is that true, Byron? Not that I've heard.

It sounds absolutely disgusting. Well, you wouldn't hear it, would you? I know all about it. If it's a good thing, if it's a good thing, I know it. What Byron, what? Yes. What you don't understand is that we feed you, you people, a certain amount of facts that are not true. That used to be true before Byron Denison became a royal watcher, and I know absolutely everything.

Everything about the royals, more they get up to. What's some of the disinformation, though, that has been ceded out to the public before? Well, that Diana died. That's not true? What? This is going to change the end of that musical, Jay, that you're watching. That's absolute nonsense. I was in the tunnel in Paris that.

Very night, I was in the tunnel. I saw it. Did they make a witch? What did you see? Yeah, you were there. What did you see? Yes, I saw the crash. I saw, I saw death occur.

Did you cause the crash, right? Oh. You were the photographer who was chasing her, right? Crap. You're not supposed to say that. No, no, no, no. Let's tell. I wasn't in Paris.

I'll edit it out. Yes. So you think you saw a fiery crash. What actually happened? Did by any chance? you see a woman with Diana's haircut who had a very slender neck and head Well, yes, of course

That was a mop, dear boy What are you talking about? We cut and coloured a mop head Look like Lady Diana No Brits and Mrs Spencer What are you talking about you? Was it really dirty though?

Oh yeah He was a sacrifice You're saying we the gris as if you were part of the doing of this but my understanding would be you would be maybe four or five at the time I just got me out of the pool

I wanted to build my own throne mom said no no no first put this mop in the car first you help us with this wow so they're enlisting children

in this endeavor children you don't understand You here in the States, you need a workforce of children like we have in the UK. Yeah, that's true. Every job that adults do, children also do. Well, I agree with that, yeah. Child doctors, child lawyers.

Yes, yes, yes. Child pickpockets, even. Baster. Yes, yes. So this is like something out of the fast franchise, isn't it? I mean, where there is. Some sort of switcheroo. A switcheroo.

You think someone's dead, but then they show up five movies later. Did Doody think that the mop? was Diana? Was he dating a mop for a long time? Did he think he was transporting a mop across Paris? If you were paying attention, you probably noticed

right before the crash, he did a big double take. I heard something about that, like it was almost a triple take. It was like... The switch was so expert and so quick. Really?

He didn't know until the last moment. Wow. Is this unpleasant? Ha! Is this tough for you to hear, this feels unpleasant to discuss. Well, where has she been all this time? No, no, I can't.

Listen, I don't accept it. I don't believe it's true. I think the gris is being, he's having us on. I think it's absurd. Are you having a laugh? Are you taking the piss? I'm taking the piss. Show you, is that right?

I'm taking the peace. Oh, so this is not true. Every one who is reported dead actually is dead. That's a conspiracy I can clear up. Oh, nobody's still alive who's ever. died, they're all still dead. In England and anywhere else, Tupac Elvis, they're all... You can't fake you're all dead.

Yes, with the exception of Olivia Newton-John's husband. Yeah, he was successful at it. He was successfully faked it. Yeah, but that was Australia. Who is he here? Here? Who is Olivia Newton? Yeah, maybe he is the Andy Kaufman of the United States.

It gets very confusing whenever there's a country award show and Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman show up in America because then down under there's like the Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman of America Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. I think it's Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

That's right. Or no, probably not because Faith Hill is other actors now. Brad Paisley and the woman from the father of the bride franchise. Yes, Kimberly William. Williams.

Williams. What of Brad Paisley and Kimberly Gilfoyle. So they just have to swap, really. They have no choice. They're transported. Wow. They find themselves in Sydney. Right in front of the opera house.

Just like. Romeo and Juliet? I was going to say Philip Baker Hall. He was in the movie Sydney. Oh, my God. You mean heart eight? Heart eight, aka Sydney. Oh, ay, yie.

A movie from not this century. Nope. Sorry. If you're looking for something from the 2000s, you're out of luck. Wow. Well, look, Byron, we got to set up... I already set up a net across the pool. How many nets do we need? Just the one? Is that... Just the one will do. Listen, I don't know if this is awkward or a strange thing to say, but...

But the gris, would you mind teaching me... How to play water polo? Just one lesson. One more before we. That would be sporting, wouldn't it? It would be a sport. sporting thing to do. Yes. I agree.

Very well, borne, Mr. All right. I shall teach you one water polo lesson. And after one lesson, I will defeat you in a duel of water polo

for the hand of Lady Amelia Spencer. That sounds good. Tell you what, do you want to do the lesson while we take a break? Or do you want to do it on mic? Yeah. Do it during a break?

Yeah, we'll do it during the break. I think that sounds best. Let's take a break. You can take a five-minute water polo lesson. That's fine, just to learn the rudiment. Just the basics. Three minutes more than I need. All right, good.

All right, so we're... It'll take me that long to get into my bathing costume. Yeah, you're wearing a one piece, like an old 20s. Yes. I, of course, am wearing a very European speedo. Yeah, that's a borough. It's extremely European. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

No. You're welcome. Whereas I allow your imagination to roam free. What could be under this? There's lumps that I'm not sure why there are lumps there's lumps, there's lumps, there's lumps. What do they call that band in England? The queen! Oh, okay, what do they call queen?

Her majesty. Oh, okay. I'll trick you. We have to take a break. When we come back, we'll have more Jason Manzugas, more Byron Denison, more the Grizz, we'll be right back with more. Comedy Bang, Mamma, Mammie! Comedy Bang, Bang, Bang, we are back. Manzukas is over there by the pool.

He's refereeing. Oh, yeah. We have, we're completing the lesson over here. Byron Dediston is in the pool along with the gris. Now, Byron, I'm noticing that it doesn't appear you really know how to swim. I thought I did. What did you think that you knew? Well, I thought I knew all of the swimming.

You thought you knew how to swim, but what did you actually know how to do? Oh, I can walk in a pool. Okay, yeah. He doesn't even know how to float. Well, I'm learning. You're just sinking like a stone. Okay, so thus endeth the lesson, unfortunately. That's all the time we have for the lesson.

I think I'll be all right. I think I'll be all right. He didn't have to. He did. No, no, no. You swore. He chose to behave as though he were rescuing me. I really didn't need it.

You chose to behave as if you were being rescued. Well, choices, choices, choices. He kept having to do the compressions on your chest. You were saying, Annie, are you okay the entire time? And we don't do the mouth-to-mouth anymore, but I did it anyway. The final indignity. As close as you'll get to touchy lady of her lips. The transitive property of kissing.

It's an outrage. I did not need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Not at all. I was fine. Yes, I did get it. Do you feel like you know how to play water polo now? I do. As you got into your bathing costume, you took off your robe.

You admitted that you had no idea what the rules were. Yes, that's correct. Well, I hadn't taken any of those lessons I intended to. But actually, we covered quite a bit in those five minutes. Yeah, so you tread water. Yes, I have to get it into the goal over there. Oh, go over the nets and there'll be some treading water, yes, which I think I can do. Yeah, okay.

So we'll have this at the end of the show. We'll do this after plugs, I guess. All right. That'll be very exciting. Yes, yes, I think so. And I do believe, you're probably right, that one of us will drown. one of us will You know, that's good, that is a way to like really definitively say, like, who is going to marry Lady Amelia?

Is this a battle to the drown? Let's do that. How about it? I haven't played water polo to the death in quite some time. Was it, were those like intermural matches that used to play back in? Were those your days at Cambridge? One at a time. Sorry.

University, I say. Were you, in the ancient days, of course, It was played to the death. Oh, when they first started, it must be an old, old sport. It's 10,000 years old. Wow. What did they use as the ball back then? A rock.

It's just a rock. Any sport now that's played used to be played with a rock. And where was it played? It must have been before swimming pools. In the Loch Ness. Atlantis. Oh, wow. The lost city of Atlantis?

The little city of Atlantis. Not lost to those in the know. You've been to Atlantis? Can't say, can't say. Is Atlantis a city, a lost city because it is now a city of royals? It's like only royals and we're royals. If that's what the case I would know it.

Not everything hidden is lost. Oh, interesting. Oh, leave it bad. Interesting. I mean, if you can't... A wink's as good as a nod to a blind man. True. If you can't escape the earth via spaceship,

I guess going underneath the levels of the water. Like Rick Remender's book, low. Low, yeah. I mean, that would be one way to... So many things in the ocean that human beings have yet to see. We know more about outer space than we know about the deepest depths of the ocean. I had a marine biologist on the show last week, and she didn't come with very many facts. Oh, really?

I have to admit about... Did she talk about the seafood fish with the little light bulb? Oh, that's some crazy shit. I think that came up at some point. If you see Blue Planet, too, it's next level. They're my favorite. We mainly talked about finding Dory. Well, that film...

And her friend Lyle. All of the knowledge of the sea is in that film. Yeah, and also in the Under the Sea song that Sebastian the Crab sings. It's hotter under the water, et cetera. I have to ask, because this came up today. There's some rock and roll Hall of Fame news that came up today. And you have a tangential relationship to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The spaceship is due to take off because of it.

Yes. The issue is that there's this fellow, I won't say his name. Yes, we cannot say it. We mustn't say his name. No, and he has some scheme. Foldem all? Not quite. Not he who shall not be named.

He has a scheme to have some band, I also weren't mentioned, inducted into the Rock and Royal Hall of Fame. And if that happens, it will be sort of the apocalypse, really. Apocalypse will come about. And that's why people are trying to escape the Earth via space ship. Yes, that's exactly right. Yeah, so this is sort of a countdown to that. Now, Sean Anaw was not on the short list this year.

Yes, right. And Dolly Parton was. Right. But she just took herself out of consideration, which means maybe. There's an opening on the nominee list. Yeah. Do you think she stepped aside on purpose? For Sean Anaw is.

I think she wants it to happen. To make room for Sean Anon? I don't know. Do you think she's trying to bring about like some sort of Ragnarok kind of? I think that maybe Dollywood is a spaceship. Oh, interesting. Like that is America's... She's going to take off as well.

She's America's Buckingham Palace. How did you find out? Oh, my fun! Wow! Really? I don't know. America's royalty will all convene at Dollywood and take off.

Who's America's royalty? Who do we got? The aforementioned Kimberly Guilfoyle will be there. Yes, of course. Megan Marble. I guess Megan and Harry because they're here.

So, Mary, Harry wins. A lot of people say that the Kennedys are the equivalent of American royalty. So my assumption is... Cheryl Hines's husband. The V.J. Kennedy. Maria Shriver and Arnold. All the greats will be there. Wow.

Wow. What a poultry collection that is. Hey. But some good genes in there for breeding. Yeah. Well, Harry and Megan raise it quite a bit. A lot of people are going to want to breed with Dolly, if you know what I mean. What do you mean?

She's quite old. I suspect she's gone through menopause. I suspect. Maybe, maybe. But yeah, I mean, I think Sean and awe could get in there. Is that the plan? Do you know anything about this? You know, I occasionally get emails from this fellow whose name I would mention.

What is his email address? It's just what you would expect. Oh, yeah. It's his name at his name.com. Oh, yes, yes, I'm afraid so. Or at me.com. Mm-hmm. And it's...

I bet he has a hot mail. Yeah. I almost said it. Hotmail account. Where he has a hot, whatever. What's up, hot mail? No, I think it's a prodigy, in fact. But he's...

He has a different plan. It should be once-up at Hotmail. What's up at Hotmail? He's got a different plan. At Hotmail. Oh, really? Hotmail. Oh, that's right.

He was about to... He was going to try to be a member of Sean Anah. Well, I think what we realized at the end of the last episode was because all the members of Shauna had become Tina Turner. Nobody was shot on nah. So if he wanted to, he could become... Are you talking about hot dog? Oh, no. Because it's one thing to say the name, but if that whole sentence was said, it really would conjure him.

Which sentence? What's up hot dog? Oh, no. Hey, guys, what's going on? We didn't mean to do this. You didn't. The most... You don't know those seem as though you did

do to do it. Athusiasm I've ever seen. Well, I'm excited. This is the best time of my life. I've been hoping for a chance to come and update you guys on what's going on. Welcome to my backyard, hot dog.

It's really nice to be here. Great to see you again, man. You brought your skis. Of course I did. Wow. Because I knew you had a pool. Yeah. Well, you'll be excited to hear

there's going to be some pool action at the end. Maybe you can get in on it. Absolutely. Maybe you could guard the... Well, I bet Hot Dog would be a better water polo player than Byron Denniston. I bet because he spent so much time in the water. He's a real water dog.

Check the rulebook. Is there anything in the rule book about a hot dog playing? Hello, hot dog. Oh, hi. Hot dog, this is the gris. Have you guys met? Yeah, I think we met. Yeah, yeah.

We've met as a fellow water sports enthusiast, of course, we've met. Yeah, right, right. There's a big convention every year of everything you can do in the water. Everybody gets together. So anything to do with water. Anything that you could do in water. In water. Yes.

That is a huge convention. Or on water. Yeah. Because it's navies from around the world. It's sailors. Treasure hunters. It's ice fishermen. Brock Lovett would be there as well.

Do you know him? I know Brock Lovett. Oh, yeah. He's there every year. Is he here? Hey. Does somebody say my name? Brock Lovett.

Hey, hey, Scott. Hi. Hey, man. It's me, Brock Lovett. Yeah, of course. Jason, right? Yeah. It's really great to meet you, Brock.

You guys have met. I don't know that we have. We haven't met before. Of course, I know who you are. Yeah. You know, I'm a fan. I love wet treasure. Yeah.

This is Byron Deniston. Yes, hello. How are you? You're a treasure hunter? Specifically wet treasure. He doesn't, yeah, he doesn't fuck with anything that's like buried. So you're like the opposite of Indiana Jones. I guess, you know, he does everything like, you know, desert.

But he's not real. Yeah, yeah. Not like Brock Lovett. Not like Brock Lovett. But Indiana Jones, this is a good question. Would Indiana Jones chase a treasure if it were underwater? Like, would Indiana Jones go to Atlantis? Yeah, I bet he would.

Maybe that'll be in the new... Maybe. He did in a video game, right? Oh, maybe. I think there was a video game where Indiana Jones was going to... Are you a gamer? Are you a gamer? I like games, you know.

I mean, sometimes you need something to do while you're going to... Is this what I sound like, by the way? I mean, it's pretty close. I haven't been me in a while. It's pretty close. A little bit of a sort of rope. I feel that way. Every time, man.

This is hot dog, by the way. Hey, I'm talking. What's up? And this is the grays. We know each other of course. Yeah, yeah. We know each other of course. So all of you guys get together at the convention. Absolutely.

I've skied over this guy hundreds of times. He's been searching for treasure. You've skied over him. One of my favorite things to do is look up at the guys that are doing stuff on the water. Right. And like, do they know I'm in the water? I don't know if I sound like me. Well, it's been nice seeing you, Brock.

I sound like somebody. Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Hey, Brock, one last question. When you're finishing playing a video game. Game over, man. Thank you. See you later, Brock.

Take care. Say I have a Shibi on your way out. Jimmy's still here. So Gris and Hot Dog, you guys know each other. Now, Hot Dog, something came up. Oh. And we wanted to alert you to it. But Dolly Parton, do you know, the famous big-titted country?

Star. Have some respect. Have some respect. Aunt Tamiley Cyrus. I think godmother. Or godmother. Yeah, whatever. Oh, is that right? I didn't know that. That's cool.

Do you know her? Yeah, I know Dali Barton. Not personally. You know she was up for the rock and roll hall of fame this year. We haven't checked in since the nominations were announced. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't care about those nominations. You don't? None of that matters to me.

Oh, I have a whole... Outdog. of a whole different angle, you guys. Whoa. I came up with it. Last time we were here, it seemed like a long shot, but I have pulled it off as far as I can. You done it? This is what we realized.

Because all of the members of Shaanana changed their name from Shaanana to Tina Turner. At that point, nobody was using the name Seanana. Correct. And we realized that if I recruited into the new band, Shananaa, a bunch of people who were already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

then Shaanana would have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Right. So who do you have? Okay. Well. Now, but what we figured out, though, was you, your dream, you're not in the Rock and Hall of.

Ah, exactly. So it's a real, you have to make a Sophie's choice here. Well, exactly. You can either be in Shananaa and have your dream come true that way, or Shanaa can be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but without you as a member. Well, at this point, here's the deal. I am in Shanaana. Whoa.

Congrats. Yes. So that's huge. That's why Shanaana has not ascended yet. It's because you're a member. It's me. Well, done you. And a bunch of rock and roll hall of fame.

Who do you got? I started out. Who? I went out to Paul McCartney on bass, Phil Collins on drums, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page. He can't play drums anymore. Well, yeah, I know now. But that's okay, because Sean and I is mostly an a cappella band. I mostly do off acapella.

But I got turned down by all those guys. Oh, no. He all said no for one reason or no. What was Bruce Springsteen got to do? What was Bruce Springsteen going? He was going to share a mic? He was going to sing. He was going to share a mic with somebody.

Well, now I got Mike Pinder, keyboardist of the Moody Blues, 81 years old. Okay. I got Tommy Hunt, singer with the flamingos, 89. Lenny Davidson, guitar for the Dave Clark 5. He's the baby, 80. The youngster. Kid. Hey, kid.

Come on it over here. It's those three and me. That's Shahana. Wow. They're all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How does it feel? You're a member of Shaanana. This is incredible.

It's wonderful. It's the fulfillment of a dream. What song? Are you guys playing live? Are you doing games? We have not done a gig yet. Shanaana's next gig is coming up October 30th. It's the malt shop memories cruise.

All Hallows Eve. Well, it goes all the way from October 30th. to November 6th, the Maltch Out Memories Cruise. They're playing it. Can you imagine being on that cruise? Out dog. I have to ask you a question. Okay, all right.

I don't want to dash your ropes. Have you checked to make sure all of these men are still alive? I have. In the last hour? You did mention Jimmy Page a little bit ago. Is he dead? Yeah. No, he's not.

No, Jim Page is alive. I was thinking of John Bonham. Oh, yes, yes, you're right. Well, it's hard. Yeah, I mean. was a big part of it to like, because there's all these people I wanted to reach out to that are dead. So a lot of it was like, is this person alive? And all these people are. Wow. Congratulations. I can't believe you got the guy from the flamingos. I know, man. I can't believe that Dave Clark

Five is in the rock and roll. You bet. But here's the thing. What's your favorite Dave Clark Five song? We'll go around and go around. We're the Dave Clark Five? What is the Dave Clark Five? Like the song. Their best album is their best of. I agree. I agree. Well, there's five of them. Not anymore, though. No.

I'm personal to, hey, Dave. Oh, that's the best one, right? I like, it's Mr. Clark to you. So, but here's, this is what's amazing. Tell us. I think if I officially withdrew from the band today, the prophecy would come true. If you were to just vocally on Mike, say, I resign from Sean Anaa. Right.

The Earth Angels would come out of the sky and everybody would get a job. The spaceships would take off. I mean, obviously the American one and the one in the Netherlands. Sorry, I thought, what do you do in Sean Anana? Well, I do this. Before every song. And whenever it feels right. And do the other guys know Sean Ana songs or are you forced to sing Flamingo songs,

the Dave Clark Five songs? Are you guys doing Knights in White Satin? Like, what's going on? It's tricky. They don't have e-mail. And so just talking to them is like relaying messages through their adult children. And so a lot of things are not quite known week. But we have until October for our first gig.

I think it's going to come together. But I don't know if they know. So you are at this point more committed to following through as a member of Shanaana than you are about bringing about the prophecy. At this moment. Enjoy it. You wait in so long. You can do the prophecy at any time.

Well, but here's the thing. What if this version of Shanaana got into the Rock and Roll Hall of thing? That's not going on. That's what we talked about the last time. Hot dog, it's not going to. Like, legitimately get in. Yeah. It's not going to happen.

Why do you say it's not going to happen? It's never going to happen. These guys have already gotten in. Yeah, but with bands that had like really, that had real chart success. But Jay, this point, at this point, at this point, I mean, Moody Booze in White Sand. Right.

The flamingos, the flamingos song. Hey, hey, hey, where they're, the flamingos. But it, but super group, this is a super group almost at this point, you know. That's exactly what it is. Like, they, they cut the line almost. almost in the Rock and Ball Hall of Fame? Cream is in the Hall of Fame. I believe they are, yeah. Do Cream deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?

Probably not. Absolutely. No. You think so. Only because they were already rock hall members, maybe, probably one of them was. I don't think, I mean, Clapton for sure, but I don't think Ginger Baker or Jack Bruce were. Should Clapton step down? Because he's anti-Vax? Him and Van Morrison? He's tired of this BS.

He don't want this BS no more. He might be a very. available for the new Shana. You might be able to get Clapton right now. Robert Cray is no longer speaking to him. If you take a very hard anti-vax stance in the new Shana now, you might be able to get Clampton and Van Morrison. Yeah.

Oh my God. I'd be willing. Have you gotten the vaccine? Have I gotten the vaccine? Hell no, man. I'm out there on the water, on the water skis, man. You've been in the past said there's nothing that salt water can't cure. That's exactly right.

Nothing. Byron, what do you think about all this? Well, it's alarming, really, to think that all this man would need to do is say, is just purely say, I resign from shot on all, and then suddenly the world is over. But him and not me. But he won't do it. It's so interesting that he, in so many ways, controls your destiny. Yes, true.

Well, all of ours, really. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yes. And if he were willing to do that, the world would end and it would be too late, you know. But you get on the ship. Here's what I'm saying. Okay. He, uh, uh, uh, hot dog, don't listen to this for it.

Go, go, go try out the pool. Try out your skis, if you don't mind. Okay. Here's what I'm saying. I'm listening to. Gris, I'm not sure if you should be, but I'll let you. It's my plan. It's a secret plan, but maybe you can listen.

I don't know. All right, you're dueling this guy. Am I supposed to be listening? Yeah, Jay, you're good. Okay, okay, good. You're dueling Grizz to the drown. Yes, yes, yes. Here in a second.

To the drown. To the drown. We've established there's nothing in the rulebook that says a hot dog can't be substituted in. We call that a D to the D to D. Obviously. A duel to the drown. A D to D, yes, yes. If hot dog's out of the way,

yes. Then our fates are no longer tied to him. Wait, how would hot dog be out of the way? Well, if he drowns in this duel. How would hot dog drown? I could nominate him as my proxy. Oh, I get it now. As your second.

I could make him, yes. I make him my dueling proxy, which really is probably for the best. Yeah. Because I have. At this point where. amount of water in my lungs now. This changes everything

potentially because Hot Dog has to know how to swim in order to be a water ski. Yeah, and he could probably use those skis in the game. There's nothing in the rulebook against that. No, they're actually. Oh, okay. Still, let me ask you this, and this

is like a pretty important question. Do we know can Hot Dog die? I don't know. Have we done anything about that? question to bring up about anyone. Right. That's safe than sorry.

I feel like we have thought him dead before, but that has not been true, or am I wrong? Is he the one who changed his heart or the... No, that is, yes. It's really just been a matter of locating his heart. Wasn't he shot? Wasn't he shot with a hot dog bug gun?

I don't remember any of the mythology. He had to check the wiki. He had his heart replaced somewhere else in his book. That's exactly what happened, gentlemen. What? It's all he told him. Welcome! It will call.

Wilcox. Yep. Hi there. I've been lurking behind that palm tree. I thought I heard a clip-clop of a horse approaching. I rode up my horse and the two of us is real... It's hard to get up this hill. Very slender horse. He needed a pack mule as well to get up here.

Sure. Everyone who is on the show in the backyard needs to take a horse. The last mile of the hill. Yeah. But anyways, I just popped in to confirm that, uh, yep, I shot a hot dog with a hot dog bullet out of a bun gun. You just popped in to confirm that? That's all. And, uh, this is just a quick pop.

Just quick pop. Quick confirm, quick pop. Yeah, I was trying to shoot him in the heart, but he had moved his heart. And that's all, but he can die. You can die. You can't die. Okay. Thank you so much, Salton.

But I have no idea where that heart is. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's, I mean, he must move it every hour just to be safe. Who knows? It might be just always on the move. It might just be always moving. It's like Lenny Kravitz, a future rock and roll Hall of Famer, always on the run. But it won't matter if you drown him.

I like your plan. Did someone say always on the move? Lenny Kravitz? Alamony Tony? No. Who? Lenny Kravitz, maybe? No, not Lenny Kravitz.

Who is? Who do you think it is? Oh, man. Al-A-Petersson? That's right. The smooth criminal. Oh, whoa, so many guest stars today. Oh, my God, the smooth criminal.

Now, I can confirm that Hot Dog has never died, but perhaps has faked his own death once or twice. Oh. You've helped him fake his own death, Al? Yes, but he always chooses the same identity. Hot dog. This is unfortunate. It's very confusing. So how long does his fake death last usually?

An afternoon. What a fucking idiot. When I faked my death, I had the smarts to change my name to Walton Dilcox. That's right. I remember this. He's a fucking idiot. He never changed his name to dot hog. Dot hog.

Hot dog and hot dog dot hog. Hugging up all them dots. Oh my God. So you've worked with Hot Dog in the past. Hey, Hot Dog, come back here. You can stop. practice. Hey, look who it is. What's going on?

Oh, hey! Take off your hoodie. It's Carla for's hoodie. I'm sorry, Carla for City. Hello, Hot Dog. It's me. All right, hey, man. Hey. Yeah. I got to fake my own death. What? Hot Talk? I don't want to take your money again.

No, no, no. I got to because I got into a real fight with the water skiing Hall of Fame down there. Okay. Polk Florida. Let me ask you. Those guys are coming from here. If you die, Hot Dog, you will be... Do somebody say Florida? Oh, my God. Who's in Florida? Oh, it's, I know.

Is you all safe? We're safe. Come on in. It's J.W. Stillwater. Well, see. Hey, J.W.S. Vigilante crime buster, J.W. Stillwater. That's right.

I'm a vigilante crime buster. That's what I call myself. And I just got off my fan boat. Whoa. Welcome to the backyard. I don't want to like, I don't want to like set two people against each other, but there is also a smooth criminal here at J.W.S. Yeah. What?

You know I hate crime. I know. That's why I bring it up. to you. And that's my cue. Goodbye. Oh, no. Hey.

Who's it? Say bye to Shibby on your way out. I was going to say Hot Dogg, if you faked your own death, you would be out of Shahnana. Oh, shit. Well, here's a question. This is maybe a question for J.W. Stillwater because he knows the law. I got time for two more. Okay.

Well, good. I only have one. If Hot Talk, Hot Dog, go splashing the pool again. No problem. Bye, hot dog. Bye, dog. If Hot Dog dies in this duel to the drown, then. then every member of Shaanahna will be in the rock and roll of fame.

Yeah. And then everyone will ascend. Then the rapture or whatever will happen. This is a question for me? Yeah, I think so. Is that legal? I don't have the first idea what y'all's talking about. You just say words.

Hot dog, dude to the drown. Shana nah, nah. Well, Shara is something you should know about. I mean, I guess like the band? Yeah, John Bowser, Boutman? Sure. Although no longer, I know. I'm also to know him from Hollywood Squares.

Match game. But Jay, what do you think? I mean, maybe we shouldn't be substituting hot dog in here. I wouldn't. If he dies, then suddenly our world is over. Well, and also, like, and not for nothing. I do feel as though this is a duel between Byron Deniston and the Gris. And it is for the hand of Lady Amelia.

Yeah, Gris. You know what I mean? Yeah. Wait a minute. What just happened? Have I back in the pool? You're back in the duel, at least. Oh, dear.

Back in the duel. pool back in the door. Hot dog, come on back. Come on back. Okay, what's going on. Hey. Can I go? Yeah.

By the way, you part your fan boat in my pool. It's a fan boat. I know, but can you park on the street or something? I mean, it's a fan boat. And how did you get into the pool, by the way, from the beach? Oh, I did a big jump. Like an evil can you? Yeah, I cranked a fan up.

Hey, this gives me an idea. What if I was the first guy? ever to water ski behind a fan boat. I mean, it's dangerous. I mean, it would blow you as the skiers so hard. And you might get your head chopped off. I know, I know. If you stopped short, I would recommend goggles. A pair of goggles?

That'll do it. I mean, it ain't going to hurt. Let's do it. Let's do it. Wait, so you guys are leaving? All right, bye, bye! Oh, my God. Is it just me? No, I'm here, too. Oh, Dalton's still here. I'm still

here, but I'm getting on my horse. I'm leaving. I think I did. everything I came to do. Okay, gosh. All right. Well, Gris and, or I'm sorry, The Gris, I beg your pardon. You can call me Gris. I can't know.

Thank you so much. I am The Gris, but you can call me Gris. All right, Gris. Well, Gris and Byron Deniston. Yes. Are you guys just about ready? I mean, Grizz has been oiling himself up our entire C block here.

I mean, does that come in handy when you're playing Waterpole? I'm nice and buoyant now. May I borrow a bit of your oil? Should have brought your own. It's a B-Y-O-O situation back here. But you. You!

Listen, let's face it, the chips are rather stacked against me. I haven't got oil. I have several lumps that can't be identified. Also, nobody beats the grids. There is that. Your catchphrase, we forgot about it. There is that. Nobody beats the gris.

I'm shocked there isn't a t-shirt. Right. Yeah, there should be one. I'm not a very strong swimmer. I'm half-drowned. Who you, Martin Short, on Saturday Night Live. Classic.

Hey, wait a minute. Could I wear a floatie? Sure. One floatie. Just one on one arm. Yeah. All right, I'll take it. Why don't you put it around your scrawny little neck?

That's not a bad idea at all. Keep my head above water. You ever seen those videos like a baby and they put the baby at the pool with some sort of floating just around its neck? So the baby's just like a little head floating on the surface. I've never seen that, but I'm about to do it. Here we are.

Yes. That's not bad at all. You're not trying to back out of this, are you, Byron? Not at all. I'm just letting the world know what's at stake. You're trying to lower everyone's expectations? So when you die, people will go like, well, he didn't have a chance. No, I'm just, I'm really, I'm trying to psych myself up into... I mean, you're going to be dead in five minutes or so.

Oh, God. I mean, you know? I mean, all right. If it takes that long, I'll be embarrassed. Well, we got to do this after our final feature, though. on the show, if that's all right with you. We just have time for one final feature, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs.

We are running out of time, guys. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. We only have time for one final thing. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

We're running out of time. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, we're out of time. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I mean, it is time for everyone's favorite feature on the show. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no?

Oh, no. Oh, no. It's time for a little something called... Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right. By the way, that was Chris Finke with oh, no, plugs.

We haven't heard you guys say, oh, no at this point. Can we get an no-no from each of you, by the way? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right, good. That'll come in handy for future plugs. What do we want to plug?

Jay, obviously, how did this get made? Yeah, how did this get made? And we're doing a couple, if you're in the Los Angeles area, we're doing live shows at Largo starting up again, so come on out and see a live show. Why not? It's been so long. It's been so long.
