Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Thank you so much for that catchphrase submission, Charlie Craft.
And yeah, welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
We're back.
It's, I'm back from my travels.
This is, by the way, if you have never heard the show before, my name is Hot Saucerman.
And I'm back.
I'm back from South by Southwest.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to see us at South by Southwest to see these
shows.
Had some great shows.
You heard the one that we put out last week and then, you know, thanks for coming out
to all the other ones, the stand-up shows and the, that weird IFC show that we did in
the strange IFC house.
Apologies to anyone who came out to that, to see us turn that into a debacle.
And yeah, I'm back now.
We're done with the show.
We're in post, the TV show.
We're in post-production, if you don't know what post means.
Post-production is what that means.
We're editing them together.
They're coming out great.
I can't wait for you guys to see it.
Thanks so much for all of your kind words
about the sneak peek that we put out.
And speaking of the sneak peek,
we have one of the guests that you saw
on the sneak peek here for the entire hour.
This is quite a treat because sometimes
he comes barging in here like some
loudmouth buffoon. But we have him here all hour. He's here for a quiet sedate interview.
And we're just going to get into it. I mean, I'm very excited because I, you know, growing up,
as many of you know, a musical theater person, I loved his work growing up. First of all,
I came to know his work from the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I saw that
when I was 14 years old, thought it was fantastic. Then segued into a more, in my opinion, a more adult tone with Jesus Christ Superstar. But then the hits just caaa-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- of the Opera and so many more and he's here to talk to us about all of those and what he has going
on now. I want to welcome to the program our very special guest for the entire program. He's a
musical theater legend. He is, I would say, a composer, not as much a librettist. He usually
finds other people to write the words for him, but maybe we're going to find out about some of his future projects. But you know him. How long can this intro go on? I know. You know
him as Lord ALW. Andrew Lloyd Webber is here with us.
Do you know, Scotty, I've been holding my breath for the entirety of that introduction.
I had no idea.
Why did I do it?
Why would you? I was not required to do so. introduction. I had no idea. Why did I do it? Why would you?
I was not required to do so.
No, I never asked you.
Under the podcastual bylaws.
Why?
A gentleman holds his breath during an introduction.
Everyone knows this.
Well maybe you're just soaking all of that in.
You don't want to exhale.
A gentleman never soaks anything in.
I noticed that you've tied a ribbon around your microphone.
I have.
For the troops.
Yes, I know you're very, which troops, by the way?
Grenada.
So.
I'm late on my walls.
I'm just getting around to Grenada.
Just getting caught up.
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, those bloody Falklands.
Thank God that's over.
Yes.
Well, welcome, welcome, Andrew.
There you are.
You know, you've been a guest on this program many times.
Countless.
And this is the first time that you've been an invited guest.
Yes, thank you.
Usually we're doing the show, if people have heard the show before, usually we're doing
the show and I talk to one of our guests.
Correct.
And in the middle of the show, some oddball comes in.
And you're sometimes...
I'm certain you don't lump me in that particular category.
You're an actual theatrical gentleman who occasionally comes in.
Legend some say.
Some say.
I just said it.
Wouldn't kill you to repeat it.
All right, you're a legend.
Thank you.
All right.
So welcome to the show.
It's always great to see you.
Thank you, Scotrick, for're a legend. Thank you. All right. So welcome to the show. It's always great to see you.
Thank you, Scotrick, for actually inviting me.
Now, in a way, you have invited me because you have an open door policy.
I do.
When it comes to you, sometimes I need to invite you because you're a lot like a vampire.
Yes, I do.
Where you won't step into a room until...
I think it's because of my medal.
I wear this medallion.
Your Dracula medallion.
Many people wear this medallion. Your Dracula medallion? And your cape?
Dracula medallion is of course the style of medallion that it is. It refers to the shape.
I have not been awarded it for Dracula activities. Dracula-ric activities.
I wish I'd said that the first time. Ah well, we could always snip that out. I wish you would!
Nope. So welcome to the show.
Yes, you're an invited guest.
Thank you.
You were saying.
Yes.
So, I sometimes just had to barge in here when the spirit moved me, when I had something
about which to speak, a burning desire to share my thoughts with the world via your
podcast.
You quite often have several new ideas of theatrical
endeavors. I say that's true! I'm always thinking don't you know? You see I work
in my dreams so when I fall asleep each night or sometimes during the day when
none of us get to get a younger darling, I shall go into this cloud cuckoo land
where I think of my ideas for musicals. Ah that's where they all come from. I
noticed that some of your ideas are as. Ah, that's where they all come from.
I noticed that some of your ideas are a little bizarre.
Well, a lot of them involve being naked in my old high school.
I would love to see that new musical that you have planned.
There was one new one that I had been working on called My Mom's House, Only It's not my mom's house. Um.
But, uh, point me. Yes, yes.
That I have to rush down here to the ear of Wolf Studios.
Yes.
And share with the world these thoughts that I have
because I'm bursting with the themes of the creativity.
Well, we have plenty of time today
to hear about all of these ideas.
Thank heavens.
Because.
I look forward to spending this time with you.
We're gonna do our best.
Being the sole guest.
Mano a mano, one on one.
Man to man.
Uno to uno.
And nothing will ever interrupt us.
Not a single thing.
Until we reach the end of the program.
That's right.
In which case, we will be interrupted by the program's conclusion.
Yes.
And that may not be an interruption as much as it will be a denouement. Oh I like what you use theater terms. Thank you so
much. Thank you. So first ask me, may I say, at this point this is a it's rare
that I do such a thing. Mmm-hmm. Scotrick you may ask me anything. Nothing is out
of bounds, nothing is off limits. It's all all's fair in love and war and this interview.
We may chat about this, that, even the other thing, which I have heretofore forbidden any
journalist to ask me about. Right. All right. Well, let me try to delve deep then. I am an open book
and lyrics. I would love to ask you something just maybe that no one has ever asked you before.
I dare you to do so.
All right, who would you say are the two main characters in Jesus Christ Superstar?
Ah, this is an excellent question.
No one has ever asked me this.
Usually everyone just knows.
If I were to state definitively who the main two characters are, in Jesus Christ, I would start.
Also, you could expand it to main three, too.
Oh, oh, I like the way you think.
This is certainly, this is two unasked questions in a row.
The main two characters are in order, I would say.
Okay, in order of importance or in order of appearance?
Both.
Okay, great.
Now, I can't remember who appears first.
Please don't hold me to that.
I believe Judas appears first.
Alright. Then this would be in order of importance.
Okay.
In my mind.
He's, he, he, he, the curtain rises.
Yes.
Lights up.
That's right.
Both of those kind of usually at the same time.
Everyone is told backstage, stop whistling, stop saying Macbeth.
And then all of a sudden, Judas appears on stage.
That's right.
And you hear that famous refrain.
Always there are some boos in the audience.
Yes, always.
They recognize him.
Boo, you betrayed our lord.
Then Judas twirls his mustache.
That's right.
He puts on his top hat.
He stands up from the train tracks,
where he's tied Jesus Christ.
And he asks Mary Magdalene for the rent.
That's right.
She says, I cannot pay this rent, you ask.
Yes.
And he says, ah, but I am Judas Iscariot, and I demand you pay 30 rents.
30 pieces of rent.
Yes.
5,216 hundred rents.
Yes.
And then Jesus bursts from his ropes and he says, Jesus smash, then he goes on a rampage, smashing this and that.
The military has called in.
Yes, of course.
And they start firing at him.
But the shells just bounce off of his skin.
He says, you make Jesus angry.
Puny humans.
Puny humans.
Then Punches Pilot comes in. And he says. And he punches Punches. Jesus angry! Puny humans! Puny humans! Yes.
Then Punches Pilot comes in, and he says...
And he punches Punches.
He punches Punches, who becomes a pilot, gets in a plane, but he can't fly it because he's
so scared of the controls being dirty, he keeps washing his hands!
Yes, of course!
The plane crashes.
Jesus resurrects everyone for the plane crash.
Smash cut 2.
It's 20 years later.
The Sky Dad Corporation has taken over all of Judea.
Yes.
Oh my goodness, what an amaz- Now, many of you have probably not seen this program because
you're not theater nerds like us.
No, no.
I imagine you like your sporting events.
Yes.
Crickets.
Your North American baseball?
Your North American football?
What's that?
Football.
Hmm.
Sounds familiar.
It's a game where it has a quarterback and he touches the ball with his foot a lot.
Oh, you mean like English soccer?
Yes, of course.
Yes.
Okay.
So, um, and that's Jesus Christ Superstar and there's the characters.
Okay, fantastic.
Well, I have many more questions like this, so...
I hope you have thousands and thousands.
So here we go.
The more probing the better.
Okay. You may ask me personal things. Doesn't need to just be work related. I'm giving you
carte blanche.
Okay. All right. Personal questions. How do you feel about the main characters in Jesus
Christ Superstar? Do you feel like they're the right ones that you picked?
And who are they?
Do you know, Scotrick, I have conversations
with the characters from my musicals almost every day.
Who's that knocking?
This is highly regular!
This has never happened in the middle of an interview.
What?
Who's this little ragamuffin?
Hello.
Look at this street urchin. Where are you, Mr. Hello? Who's this little ragamuffin? Hello. Look at this street urchin.
Hello.
Who are you, son?
Speak up, boy.
Are you Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Why, yes, I am.
Always nice to meet you, man.
You're a smart young child, you are.
Oh, my God, hi.
Hello, little young man.
I'm a fan.
You're a fan of the musical theater?
Yeah.
And my work in it in particular?
Yeah, I was lost and I heard your voice outside. I came
I say you recognized my voice. Yeah from outside the building wouldn't recognize that voice
Wait, I like the cut of this young man's jubilee. I do too. I do too
But this is so you're lost in the building young man. I got lost. I'm so sorry. I was outside
I was so lost and I heard the voice so I came in because I'm hungry I was looking for scraps.
How long have you been lost?
For a couple years.
What?
A couple years you say?
Yeah.
That's a long time to be lost little boy.
I don't have a watch or a calendar so I don't know the exact time.
Do you know the day that you...
Yeah, you borrowed my calendar.
It was the third... really?
Yes, there you are.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's calendar.
Wow, what's on that calendar? It's huge.
Look at this calendar, what's on there?
It's beautiful, so many days.
Well, aside from the days, he scribbled little appointments on there.
Tell us some of those.
It's got one new topic of a film he's doing, first film ever.
Oh, wait a minute, a new film.
This is a scoop.
He's never ventured into that, I know, because I follow his work a great deal.
Well, you've been gone for the last two years, though. How would you know that? Oh, wait a minute, a new film. This is a scoop. He's never ventured into that.
I know because I follow his work a great deal.
Well, you've been gone for the last two years though.
How would you know if he's talked about it?
Newspapers.
Oh, okay.
Do you see newspapers every day?
Yeah, that's what I sleep on because I don't got a home.
Oh, these newspapers don't have a date on them.
Yeah, they do, but I only got one good eye.
Oh, I feel like a fool for asking that.
Seems like plenty to read a date on a newspaper though. I'm sorry. One good one?
Yeah. Seems like you could read a date. Well I kind of but let's not get down to
breast tech or anything. No I'm sorry to press you on this. Leave the little boys.
You have to excuse me I'm starving so I get a little on edge sometimes.
Scotty do we have any food here at the studio? Just scraps, any kind of scraps.
I mean, all I have is sort of the fat that I cut off of my steak.
That would be the greatest.
I don't know. I don't want, you know, I mean, it's bad for your health.
I don't know. I was saving that for my dog.
He is a rag of muffin.
I'm better than a dog. I'm a human boy.
He does out rag dogs.
All right, here, have my table scraps.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Wait, you're eating the foil, you're eating the swan foil.
There's vitamins in the foil.
No, please unwrap it if you could.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
You're very hungry.
Thank you so much, I haven't eaten in years.
Wow!
Is that medically possible for him to survive that long? I don't know.
I don't got a real doctor.
Fair enough.
That makes sense.
We, see, we're just using, you know, using science that we know.
But you say a doctor would be able to tell you if not eating.
A doctor could tell you anything.
It's the most trusted man in the business world.
To be fair, Scotrick, perhaps we've become used to medical advances that have happened
in the last two years.
That's true.
Perhaps we know that doctors can tell people that...
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
So it's commonplace to us now, but for this little boy,
emerging from the fog of two years ago.
Mm, you remember it, 2010.
Oh, I wish I could.
Oh no, actually 2009, because we taped this in 2011.
Oh, that's right. I keep forgetting that.
Yeah, we taped it a year in advance.
I keep forgetting it's 2011.
Yeah.
That's because I got your calendar.
That's exactly why!
Give him back his calendar.
You can have your calendar back.
Here, I give you these table scraps, once as big as yourself.
Oh, thank you.
Where did you get so many table scraps?
I'm just always carrying them around.
Really? For what purpose? For just such an occasion. In case I meet
orphans. Oh my orphan, you could take me if you want and put me in a musical. Are you
dear boy, are you an orphan? I used to be an actor. Is that so? Yeah. You've trod the
boards. I did a lot of musical theater when I was just a baby boy. Is that? What productions?
Would I have seen any of these?
I was in Jesus Christ Superstar.
That's what I'm buying!
Yeah.
What role did you play?
That's what Jesus Christ-
He's one of the main three!
Can I, may I be candid?
Sure.
He's the main number one.
Whoa!
The most important character.
All right.
In Jesus Christ Superstar.
So you played Jesus Christ Superstar, so-
We just called him Jesus Christ Superstar. So you played Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah.
We just called him Jesus Christ in the musical.
So can you sing one of the songs for us?
I wore my coat with golden lining.
I love it when Jesus wears his coat in that show.
It's just like he shows it off and he's real.
Because it's a big coat, it's real nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do. It must have looked even bigger on you. You're just a little baby boy. I still got it. What? I still got it. Really? Yeah.
Why aren't you wearing it now? Got stolen. Oh no, you don't still got it after all. I was on the street
sleeping and a man took it. May I ask you young man? Yeah. What are the curious
circumstances that led you to be a homeless little fellow. My parents were dead.
Ew.
So did you run away from an evil orphanage a la Annie?
Yeah, and a rich man took me in for a little while.
And they got me into a theater program.
Oh, that's so nice of him.
That was nice.
Sort of broadened your horizons.
I just wanted scraps.
Well, I'm sure that if he was a rich man, you could have eaten anything.
He was a very rich man.
Ice cream sundae?
He gave me lots of good food, ice cream sundaes.
He gave me a banana once.
I put it on the ice cream sundae, and that's how the banana split got created.
I don't know if you know that fact.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
I have to ask you, young man.
Well, the second time it was created.
Oh, no further questions so
when you created it when it became something in your mind yeah okay great I
had never seen one before okay so you actually created it because you'd never
seen one before someone can invent something even if it exists yes if they
don't know it exists yeah they think they've invented it.
It's like someone who writes a joke that already exists.
You still wrote the joke.
Great minds think alike as they say.
Yeah, baby.
I just made that up right now.
I'm sorry to tell you.
This is the creation.
The man, Austin Powers, has copyrighted that.
What's up, Austin Powers?
He was a great.
He's been gone for longer than two years.
A great agent.
Am I six?
So what happened to the rich man, though?
He put you into this theater program and then...
He threw me away.
What?
In a dumpster.
This cruel fellow.
Wait, what happened?
So, you were in a theater program.
I found I was walking the streets looking for scraps in a very rich part of town.
And the rich man picked me up and he said, can you sing?
I said, yeah.
And he put me in a theater program.
Okay.
But what happened then?
I don't understand because you're under the care of a rich man.
It seems like you...
I get, sometimes I can be a bit much.
Oh, you're a handful.
Yeah.
Now, Scottish is right.
Normally, for an orphan to become under the care of a rich man,
it is a conservation devoutly to be wished by orphans.
But you're saying it was through some personality
quirk of your own.
Yeah, I get stabby.
What is that?
Now, I'm not familiar with American slang.
What does that mean?
Crankier?
I live on the street, so I got to know how to take care of myself be tough guy
Again I do not know what he's trying to say Lord ALW is that he's called me Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
My name is it Fagan it's? It's Forvel. Forvel!
It's like Fival but one less.
So, wait, what was I saying?
Oh, stabbing.
You asked it, yes, stabbing.
I think what he's trying to say is he actually stabs people.
Oh yeah, all the time.
Is that what you mean?
You gotta take care of yourself.
You gotta know how to stab or else you'll get, you know, you get taken away.
Well, you're not wrong there.
Are you carrying a weapon right now on your person?
I'm not carrying it, it's in my pocket.
What?
Oh, semantics, he's got you.
Technically, his pocket is carrying it.
My hands are all greasy from the scraps, so I don't want to get on a knife because then
the stabby won't be so accurate.
And to be fair, you did make him unwrap the scraps.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, I mean, that actually is in our favor in case he wants to pull that knife.
It may slip out of his hands.
Why, why so ever should he want to pull that knife?
No, you guys seem nice.
We are, I am.
And so did your father figure, the rich guy, I would imagine.
No, he was nice.
He was nice.
Why, why, why, why, why were you compelled to become so, as you put it, stabby?
He's got a mouth on him.
He don't know when to stop tell me to clean my room and I'm not ready to clean my
room fucking
horrible come on now I mean I hate I hesitate to even criticize you it's okay
I like you I like you so I'm a fan of the show too.
Wait, you know this show as well?
Of course.
Ah, how did you get lost right outside my building then?
Um, I got lost all over the place, but right outside I heard the beautiful voice and I came to it.
I didn't even know it was like, um, it's like it was pulling me towards like a rapture of some kind.
You've been gone for two years. It's 2011 right now because we taped the show a year in advance
So how would how have you even heard the show have you been listening outside the door this whole time sometimes?
I'll just go up to close to people's ears when they have headphones in trying listening on the streets
That's not annoying. Yeah, no, they hate it
I'm I curse those people you're an adorable little fellow. Thank you. I would be delighted. Coming from you, that's a dream.
I would feel much more comfortable
if you disarmed yourself, if you just sort of put that out
on the table and just said.
That's one.
One?
One?
Large knife.
Butterfly knife, I invented that.
In what way did you invent that?
Because that's an actual professional knife.
I invent.
I just thought of it, so I bought it.
You bought it, you didn't, I mean.
Well sometimes I like to say that's inventing things.
I'd never had one before and I'd never seen it,
so when I bought it I said,
now this is something I could get used to.
Young Master Favel, may I ask you,
when you say butterfly knife,
are you referring to the shape or its purpose?
I have killed many butterflies.
By knife.
Yeah, because they don't know when to fucking.
Oh, again, young fellas.
They just fly near you and it's in your personal space
and you gotta teach these fucking things a lesson.
Oh, please, where did you learn this kind of language?
The streets.
Oh, okay, I understand now.
Now you have it, yes, the streets.
We have to judge him on a different scale
than the normal people who have been raised correctly.
He's, at times when he uses such a vile words,
he sounds like a regular cockney,
as if he's been born between the sound of both bells.
I was in My Fair Lady too when I was a kid.
Is that so?
What role did you play?
What role did you play?
Alfred Doolittle, the father, clearly. Oh, meaning get me to the church on time? I was in My Fair Lady too when I was a kid. Is that so? What role did you play? What role did you play?
Alfred Doolittle, the father, clearly.
Oh, meaning Get Me to the Church on Time?
Get me to the church on time.
Wonderful song.
Oh, I love that song.
Even better, hearing a little child sing it.
Thank you.
It's a brand new meaning.
Did you know the songs in that musical were written by the Monkeys?
No, Rest in Peace, maybe Jones.
Yes, they did not write their own songs.
What?
Next year, David Bowles is going to die?
Yes.
That's the other thing.
I'm into the future.
Somebody should tell him.
I'll get around this.
Scotrick, I'm your bearing the lead here.
You're a time traveler?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I've never mentioned that on the show before.
Why?
Why have I not?
I ping pong back and forth from a year in the future. Are you in control of this? I?
Regulate sort of what happens, you know, I'm sort of a time policeman like a time copper
We don't like to be called cops. I do apologize time Bobby
Time Bobby is much better. He doesn't like that Andrew. I'll stab this guy
He doesn't like that, Andrew. I'll stab this guy.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Please don't, please, Forval, do not stab.
I thought you were, see, right, this is what's worrying me about you.
He's a good, he's a genius man, but they don't mess with people.
I know, but that's what's troubling to me is that just a second ago you said you would
never stab either of us.
No, I wouldn't, but, uh.
And now you're saying that you will stab one of us.
Just watch your step is all I'm saying.
You seem entirely too ready to stab.
I'm just good at it.
I mean, the good thing is, is though at least your weapons are equidistant from the three
of us.
They're just right there in the middle of the table.
Any of us could reach over.
I like to keep it fair.
Yeah, so if it ever comes to it during the course of this program, we all have a good
equal chance at grabbing the knife.
Although it does look a little slippery because your hands.
It's greasy.
Yeah, with grease.
Grease scraps.
Scraps grease.
So that may come into play. If it ever comes to that, I'm not saying it even will because hopefully
we'll be great friends.
I doubt it will.
But you know, it may come into it. It may slip out of some of our fingers if we ever grab it.
I'm sure we will remain the best of companion through the entire podcast.
Everyone's just gotta stay cool.
Yeah, we'll all stay cool. I'm sure we will, right?
Let us all stay cool.
All right.
As Fonzie. Tell you what, I do right? Let us all stay cool. All right.
That's funky.
Tell you what, I do want to take a little bit of a break here.
Why?
Why?
Well, you know, to pay the bills.
I don't understand.
What does that mean?
I need about two minutes to go online and pay some of my bills.
Some bills?
Yeah, you know, just my electric, my cable bill.
I wish I had bills.
Oh, we'll get to that because we may have some bills for you.
Yay!
I bet we do.
Whatever Elfyn wants.
Responsibilities of a home.
All right, so let's take a break and we will be right back here with Lord Andrew Lloyd
Webber and Foremo will be right back Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang.
Comedy Bang Bang.
Hey, come on.
I do apologize.
That is in large part all I do on this program.
You are doing the-
You're trying to take it away from me.
You're resetting.
Yes, of course.
I do apologize.
Comedy Bang Bang.
Comedy Bang Bang.
I'm doing it again.
Again.
I do apologize.
I would have much appreciated if you would zip your lip up.
Apologies. I very, as a Lord, I'm very used to having my own way. He's the host let him do his job
No, you know
You know you you got you got it going on you got a lot of stuff going on let him do his
Let me have my regular Stacey's mom
Reference yes, do you like I love references do your fountains of Wayne? I love references.
Fountains of Wayne though, do you enjoy them?
What's that?
It's the band that sings that song, Stacey's Mom.
What song?
Stacey's Mom.
You just know it as a saying?
I know Stacey and I know her mom.
Oh, okay.
I see.
I understand.
Well, we're back here with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and Forville.
And you know, Forville, I wanted to sort of get it, you know, we were in the middle of
a mano a mano, one on one, heart to heart with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
And as much as your problems are interesting to us both, and one of us may want to adopt
you.
Oh, no way.
At one point, yeah.
It's entirely possible.
So you're making a 90% good impression. I'll treat you right.
Just let this program be an audition for you. Okay. Okay. The 10% is the stabbing is. Yeah.
I understand. It's hard to overcome.
That 10% is really weighing heavily on me. Makes a difference. Yeah. I know about auditioning
because I auditioned when I was a baby. How did you get the parts by the way? I mean you auditioned were you the best? How did you get to be auditioned?
I would crawl. I would crawl sometimes in a papoose.
A papoose you say? Like a red Indian. Were you ever put into a basket on the river?
Yeah.
Like Moses from biblical times.
You should do a musical about Moses
No, not interested. Too Old Testament-y. You've done
I did Joseph and the Amazing Technical Dream code. Yes. Old Testament?
That was my foray into the Old Testament. And that covered all of the Old Testament in your mind. It's just so dreadfully ridiculous
That's where a lot of people would say the great stories of the Bible are. They're all made up though. Well sure, but so is...
They're false. Yeah, of course, but so is most of...
The ludicrous fairy tales. Are you trying to say that your shows are non-fictional?
Yes. The Phantom of the Opera?
Yes. Is a non-fiction tale?
You've heard of the opera? Yeah. Phantom is a word.
I would agree, yes.
It's in the dictionary.com website.
Therefore, Phantom of the Opera.
Okay.
This is a lot like-
Simple logic forville inventing stuff, I think.
He's a very clever lad.
Yeah.
I mean, I know that I didn't really invent the things.
I'm not fucking stupid.
Oh, language, please.
I'm becoming.
I don't like the way that you motioned your
head towards me too, like to try to startle me. Don't get in my way. Okay. May I ask you,
were I to adopt you? And I'm not saying I'm going to. This is a rich guy, just like the other rich
guy. I'm still in the audition process. I won't count my chickens. I own a space shuttle. If
my chickens yeah I own a space shuttle if were I to adopt you and I attired you in a little velvet short pants suit I gave you a hat straw hat with a big bow
on it let you grow out your golden curls what about a lollipop I would give you
the biggest lollipop you've ever seen a lolly as there's a lolly what do you think
that would curb your tendency to to swear and use this gutter language?
Yeah, I'm a good kid, I just want to be loved.
It's just if someone messes with you or if someone tries to break into the home, they're
going to get fucking what they deserve, you know?
Oh, come on, I don't know.
You know, one thing maybe that you need to learn is that when someone criticizes you
or gives you instructions, an adult figure, it is a form of love. And I know
that you're used to people withholding love from you, but it actually is a form
of love because it's guidance and it's someone showing that they care about you.
That's nice, but I mean, still, I'll break your fucking neck if you cross me.
I do feel like you're missing the point of what we're trying to do.
Just don't cross me, I'm just saying.
Okay, alright.
I'll come to your house, I'll clean, I'll do my chores, I'll be good, I'll help you
transpose your music.
Oh, thank you!
Now you're talking!
Because the keys are getting a little high for you, Andrew Lloyd Webber, I've noticed
lately.
Yes, they are.
Well, you know, because I will, the way I have my cast members learn the songs, I sing
them to them over and over and over again until they learn them.
Yes, of course.
Because you don't know how to play piano.
That's the weird part.
I don't even, I'm not even sure what a piano is.
It's that thing, it has 88 keys and...
It was like the movie Dick Tracy.
Yes, of course.
Yeah, 88 keys.
It's a very weird reference. No, but you know what?
I love that you have a breadth of knowledge about cinema history.
Yeah, I'm pretty good with that.
Quite a little...
A little scamp.
Your little scamp.
It's true.
So I do want to ask you, before we get to my question to you, Andrew Lloyd Webber, we
never found out exactly what happened to the rich old man. Was he old by the way?
Oh, Scotrick, Scotrick. This is a good line of inquiry. Okay. I don't know whether he was old or not.
You never said he was old. You just said he was rich. He was old. How old was he? 74.
Wow, that is an elderly, rich elderly man. And we've never found out his fate. Will he ever see 75? No.
No. He's passed over. He passed. found out his fate will he will he ever see 75 no no he passed he passed he
passed yeah and what way did he pass he said he woke up one morning he didn't
look so good and I said are you okay and he said leave me alone I said what the
fuck did you say and he said I don't feel completely alone. I just stabbed shit out of him.
How forful.
Because you don't act like that, especially in the morning.
Forful.
I'm going to overlook the language in this instance and focus on what I think is the
most egregious crime you've committed, which is the crime you've committed of murder.
You stabbed this man to death.
Murder in the first degree.
In the first degree.
Yeah, premeditated.
Yes, one might say.
Yes.
I've learned a lot talking to my friend Ice-T about murder and sexual crimes, mainly.
He wrote Cop Killer, one of the greatest songs in history.
Really?
Do you know we co-wrote that song?
No.
What?
It was originally called Cop Hugger, and I said I've got an idea I have to ask
let's stir up a little controversy oh yes you me and body count it worked it
worked like it went down a treat the three of you I mean I'm counting body
count as a collector a unit yes you have to in this. In this economy? Yeah.
That is fascinating. I have to ask him about that next time he's on.
I wish you would.
I wish I would too.
He's very open about talking about the creative process.
I'm going to go into the future just to make sure I've done that.
Excuse me for a second.
Where did Scottrick go?
There was a flash of light?
Vovil, why are you pointing that at me?
I'm back. Oh,
not a moment too soon. Yeah, I did. I did it. I did it. I forgot to tell Davy Jones,
though. Oh, no. Oh, well. It's okay. You'll figure it out. It's fine. He's old. He'll
be fine. So what exact... So, so, uh, did the, the policemen take you away? No, I ran
out into, grabbed what I could in my bindle and I went out into the streets. You grabbed your coat of many colors. Yeah, I still had that. I said, bring me my color coat.
Now did you?
And they did and I ran out into the streets.
The servants brought you?
Yeah.
And they weren't frightened of you from?
No, they couldn't, I'm nice to them, but they know if they cross me.
May I say a scottish, and of course, Forvel will know this from his experience
with this rich elderly man.
Servants, they do their jobs, and if they're good servants,
they do them impeccably well.
It would be crossing a boundary for a servant.
To presume.
To presume, someone from the upstairs.
You gotta know your place.
You have to know, it's true.
Now, Forvel, on this, we do agree.
I have seen downtown Abbey, so I know.
Yeah.
Scotrick.
Yes?
Oh, my word.
What's wrong?
Even I know that.
Like fingernails on the chalkboard of my ear drums.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about my favorite program, Downtown Abbey.
You've said it twice now.
Oh, god.
Please.
I love that show.
I'm the biggest Downtown Abbey fan there probably is.
I'm getting stabby.
I'm getting stabby.
Hey, how are you?
I don't know why.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Go, Fulful, go.
I won't bring it up anymore.
Can I ask something about your coat?
Sure.
You say it's a coat of many colors.
Yeah.
Are you sure it's not just a white coat that has a lot of red blood stains on it?
You fucking came here right now?
Don't fool.
It's my amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Steady.
I just wanted to make sure that-
Just tread lightly is all I'm saying.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I think we do best to take the lads advice.
All right, we'll do.
There is blood on the coat, but it's of many.
It's the blood of many.
People hate so many colors.
So wait a minute, are you trying to say that like Spock's green blood?
I killed Leonard Nimoy.
Who is this? You killed Leonard name boy. Who is this?
2011 I hope no one will ever hear of this. Okay, let me check. Excuse me. Oh
Okay, I'm back. No, no one's heard of it. Oh, thank you next year
My guy because I think I checked and no one has ever seen the headline,
director of Three Men and a Baby has been killed.
I heard if you watch that film,
you can see the background in front of the scenes
where Ted Danson is throttling Steve Gutenberg to death
saying, why did you make us have a baby?
We're only two men.
It's very early in the film.
In the background, you can see Leonard Nimoy
being stabbed to death.
There's a shotgun too for a second.
Turns out it was just a cardboard cut out
of William Shatner drowning his wife.
Oh dear.
All right. drowning his wife. Oh dear. Alright. My wife!
Alright, alright.
Let's get back on track here because
we've gone off the rails.
Good luck to you.
What I want to know, and we'll get back to
Fourville, we'll get back to your
troubles and we'll sort of check in with you
a little later, but what I want to get back to Andrew Forvel, we'll get back to your troubles and we'll sort of check in with you a little later.
But what I want to get back to, Andrew Lloyd Webber, is I feel like-
Oh yes, hello, I'm still here.
I feel like we were talking about your career and if-
Yes, my favorite topic.
You had promised me some sort of, as we say in the biz, exclusive about what you were
up to next and I would love to hear exactly what you're doing. Yes, I did promise you an enscoupment,
and what I've brought you is my latest endeavor.
Now, you know, they're planning this,
we're here, we speak of course, here in 2011.
They're planning this television program.
We're right in the middle of pilot season,
I should say that. We're right in the middle
of pilot season 2011.
Yes.
Now, next year, from what I understand,
sources tell me there's going to be a show, a television program. Are you talking about the one
where they are in the future and they go back to the past and there's dinosaurs? I'm so excited
for that one. That is going to be amazing. Ah yes, it is not the topic about which I'm speaking.
Yes, it is not the topic about which I am speaking of. Are they talking about Whitney?
I'm super, whoa, she's in sweatpants.
I know who she is, it's Whitney.
Sorry.
How dare you.
Sweet Whitney.
Downton.
So, this,
ooh, ah, it curdles my throat.
There's going to be an hour long drama
on the television here in America
that's going to be about the creation of a Broadway musical. It's going to be
called Smash! Is this about Jesus when he bursts out of those ropes and he attacks
the army? It should be, but it isn't. It's about a regular musical. Okay. It's the
music, it's the behind the scenes of some
uh, tiresome theater people. They're creating a musical about the life of Marin...
Mark Maron? Oh my god.
That's IFC's doing that. Your IFC. The International Fried Chicken.
Wait, they're doing what? They're creating...
Next year? Yes, next year.
Oh my gosh. I hope they pick up my show. We're just working on a pilot with them right now.
May I tell you some news from the future?
Please.
I've talked to another one of these time bobbies.
Yes.
It's looking good for Company Bang Bang.
I love it, I love it.
One word of advice.
Yes.
Hire Reggie Watts.
I'm not a fan.
You must do it.
Nah, no thank you.
Scottrick, please believe me.
Nope, won't do it.
You gotta do it.
Won't do it, never. You'll see. All right. You cannot change the future No, no trick. Please believe me. No, don't do it. You gotta do it won't do it
You never you'll see. All right, you cannot change the future. Everyone knows this that is one thing
I've been in the future. I've stayed away from it because I hate spoilers
No spoilers. That's one thing being a time policeman. That is really annoying is I hate spoilers. Let's get back to me
So I hate spoilers. Let's get back to me. Okay, sure. So. Yes.
I've written this script.
We're talking about Smash.
Yes, it's a spec script of the drama Smash, which is about the creation of a musical about
the most tiresome person in the world, Marilyn Monroe.
People love her to death.
Why do they still keep talking about her?
No one knows.
You go into any teenage girl's room,
and they just have pictures of Marilyn Monroe up all over.
Oh, wait, no, I'm thinking about people in the 70s and 80s.
I'm not talking.
You mean all people in their 70s and 80s?
Yeah, those are the people obsessed with Marilyn Monroe.
That's right.
I've written an episode of this show,
and I hope it will make it to air
But I'd like to I have a year even though I have a year to prepare
It'd be good to do a little just read a scene just to see how it feels out loud
Okay, I'll know if I could work on it. Good luck with that and
Scotrick, I wonder if you might be able to help me. Oh you would you would like us to read Scotrick
I would love it if you and a dear young Forvel here would read Rose.
Now, Forvel, you've trod the boards.
I have.
This would be an honor.
Well, the honor is mine, young man, an esteemed board treader such as yourself.
And also, Scotrick.
This is amazing.
Hey.
If you would.
I have a bit of a background.
Yeah, a bit of a background.
Yeah, all right.
Well, you know, this is almost like when Quentin Tarantino
directs an episode of CSI or ER or something,
like Emergency Room.
Did you ever see that episode of The Price is Right,
Quentin Tarantino directed?
No, I haven't.
That sounds amazing.
Yes, lingering shots of the women's feet
as they introduce the prizes.
Disgusting.
Now here, gentlemen, here are your scripts.
Oh, thank you so much.
I always carry, you know me, I always plant scripts
in every podcast studio I go to.
That's right, underneath the furniture.
Yes.
Now, Scottrick, if anyone finds it taped underneath
their seats, they win a gift certificate usually.
Yes, also a paint pack blows up in their faces.
Ha ha ha.
This one isn't gonna blow up in my face, is it?
No, no, no, because I've handed it to you.
Okay.
It responds to my touch, my touch only.
Alright.
Now, Scotrick, if you would essay the role of the director.
Director.
And, uh, however.
And, uh, Forville, if you would play the role of the actress.
Now, I know that may seem strange.
You mean, uctress?
Yes, uh, uctress.
That may seem strange because you're a little boy, but, uh, back in the barns day, it wasn't that hard.
I have range.
No doubt. Your voice is a little high, I mean that's not a criticism. I'm glad you said that because I'm just saying
that you know we're all different human beings are all different we all have different voices.
That's true there's over 30 voices. Speaking of voices, Favel are you able to change your
voice depending on the character? Yes, I am.
Could you play a young lady?
I could. I'm a fucking actor, man.
All right, no need to. Point that at me.
Gosh, yeah.
Greasy though it may be.
Very well then. As Scotrick is the director, Forville is the actress.
I will be playing the role of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Oh, so you're actually in this?
Yes. Why not take the liberty of writing myself into it while I'm writing it.
Have you ever acted before?
Never!
We'll see how it goes.
I've seen you on this year's American Idol.
Yes.
And who were you?
You were mentoring the...
I mentor them all.
That's right.
What did you say to all of them this year?
I told all of them to imagine when they're singing the songs that they are singing in
the voice of dear old old glamour puss.
Yes.
Now she's not a flippity-dippit, not a top spot,
certainly not a fuss-budget, just a regular old glamour puss.
I saw that the other day and I couldn't imagine
what you were thinking.
Why is that?
Well, I mean, who knows?
Okay, well, why do you think any of these children
would know what a glamour puss is?
I don't even think I know what a glamour puss is.
How do they know what a dinner plate is?
How do they know what an umbrella is?
What a salad bowl is?
How do they know what a weskit is?
How do they know what wine to serve with fish?
Have you ever heard of a bubble chute?
Of course you have, you're a child.
Very well. All Alright, very well. So I will also read the stage
directions as needed. Okay, fantastic. Here we go, we begin with the director.
Do I need to knock on the door? No you don't, I don't know why. It takes place we're already
inside. Let me set the scene for the listeners. How is anyone gonna know that
I walked inside? I do wish you would stop talking, except when indicated.
May I set the scene for the listener?
We're in the rehearsal studio, or rehearsal, as we say,
in Britain.
They're working on their tiresome musical
about Marilyn Monroe.
They're all very tiresome theater people.
And they're arguing with each other,
as people in the theater do. Everyone considers themselves very important and they are of course
wrong. All right and the director begins. He does not knock. Hello I'm walking in
the door now. Okay he's already there but go ahead. All right let's get back to
rehearsing people we are making a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe
here not playing American football with President Barack Obama.
Whatever I'm rolling my eyes.
Gag me with a spoon.
Wow that is amazing.
It's very well done.
Thank you.
I heard that young lady actress.
Now let's take it from the top and this time try being talented.
Quite a burn.
Suddenly the rehearsal room door opens and in walks an impressive figure and an expensive
jumper and wearing the robes and medallions in walks an impressive figure and an expensive jumper
and wearing the robes and medallions of an English lord.
The actress is so startled she cries out.
Excuse me, this is a closed rehearsal, I am so sure.
You empty-headed fool, don't you know who that is?
Why, it's Tony Award-winning Broadway composer
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Oh, your grace, I am a worthless creature who
shall crawl on my belly for the rest of my days. Nay rise child we are all equal
to the eyes of Thespus. Now of course that's not actually true my supremacy in
the theater is absolute. Oh yes. I just wanted to see how rehearsals are going
for Marilyn Monroe the musical about Marilyn Monroe and her life and death. Oh
who cares?
Won't you sing one of your own songs for us?
Oh please, your excellency, if you shan't I shall take this dagger and slit my own
cat-a-walling throat.
She produces a knife.
No, that's just a stage direction, you're not meant to do it.
No, there's no need.
I'll stab if I need to.
Of course, please.
Thor, the stage character.
There's no need for that.
Sorry, sorry.
Stay your hand, child.
I'll go you one better. I'll improve a song that already exists. Hoorah! It's even about Marilyn Monroe
already I'll just take the liberty of fixing the lyrics. Goodbye Marilyn
Monroe you've redeceased all of my musicals never got to see one Not even Jesus Christ Superstar the earliest
People still talk all about you I don't understand it
You didn't even see Starlight Express Where I had actors on roller skates
Pretend to be trains.
And it seems to me your life was irrelevant because you didn't see any of my work.
Why do people care about you?
It takes away conversation about me.
I'm glad I never knew you and I am glad you're dead
Probably roasting in hell
For assisting in someone having extra-merital affairs
The president your American president and it goes on from there. Wow, what a
Powerful. Oh, I wasn't gonna say that but what are you going to say? Ah moving? No, I'm just gonna say judgmental. Well
judgmental yeah, I was going to say judgmental. Well, re... Judgmental?
Yeah, I mean...
In what way?
You think someone is roasting in hell because they...
How did you put it?
Assisted?
Roasting in hell for assisting in someone's extramarital affairs.
Do you want me to stab this guy, Dad?
Oh, no.
Now, first of all, presumptuous, let's not put the cart before the horse.
Secondly, as much as I would like you to stab all manner of people,
I will ask you to sheath your weapon.
Thank you, Fawvall.
You're a fine, you're an honorable young man.
I love you.
Oh, OK.
Well.
May I say, I love you as well.
Thank you.
You're the son I never, I actually have several children.
But you are a son I never had. Thank you. You are the son I never... I actually have several children.
But you are a son I never had.
Thank you.
That is correct.
Well, I hate to think that this matter is settled because we still have some of the
program to go before you decide whether or not you're going to adopt.
That's true.
Nothing has been signed yet.
I have not signed the adoption papers.
I was really hoping for it.
Do you have adoption papers on you, by the way?
Of course.
I'm not stupid.
You're remarkably clean for having been in your disgusting blood soaked coat for so long.
They're the one thing I keep close to my heart.
Oh.
Just in case.
It's getting a bit dusty in here.
No, I think you're crying.
No, no.
Every day I wake up and I look at the papers and I say maybe I'll meet the Lord and you
are a weapon you're taking in.
Wait, you've wanted to meet him specifically?
I've been following him for years.
Oh, okay.
I thought you were lost!
No, I'm a filthy liar. The truth comes out.
Oh, my, this is a bombshell that I'm afraid we're going to have to take a cliffhanger on
because we need to take a break.
What? Strike me scarlet! I can't believe this turn of events!
We are going to find out about this when we come back. We must take a break! No, we're going to have to take a break. But strike me scarlet, I can't believe this turn of events. We are going to find out about this when we come back.
No, we are going to have to take a break.
It's impossible, it's too delicious.
We have to, we'll be right back with Comedy Bang Bang and we'll follow up on this dramatic
turn of events. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMM MMM MMM MMM M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M around for a bit. Of course, played soundball. Made a machine. Yeah. And we are back at Comedy
Bang Bang and we're here. A surprising turn of events happened. Oh yes, that's right.
Yeah, we immediately forgot about it. I got so caught up in her exercises. Yeah, I made
a little note to talk about it when we came back, which is the only way that I can remember
anything. So yeah, so we're back and you were saying that you've been, I have it written
down here, stalking Andrew Lloyd Webber?
I wouldn't call it stalking, man.
Don't put words in my mouth.
I mean.
You didn't use that word, you're right.
You've been following him with murderous intent.
No, no, no.
And unbeknownst to me.
No, I want him to be my dad.
Okay, well.
I don't want to murder him, he's a genius.
How did you first hear of him?
I mean, you obviously.
When I was in Jesus Christ, superstar, it really touched me and I wanted to be with him forever.
Oh, this dear little fellow. He is melting this Meiser's heart of mine, which I just decided I
have. He's a kind man who's brought smiles to millions and I want to be part of that.
So, let me get the chronology of what happened here. You were put into the...
Most important thing.
I don't understand why this would be confusing.
You were put into the drama program by a rich old man, 74 years old.
Daddy Warhorse.
Daddy Warhorse.
Daddy Warhorse.
That was his name.
He's one of the legendary angels of the theater.
Correct.
He used all of his unlimited wealth to fund various
Productions of this that and the other thing which I have allowed you to ask me about. Yes. I'm gonna get to it Don't worry. We have time
Now this this gentleman he's been a friend to the theater for as long as I've been alive
And you're saying you stabbed him to death. Oh, yeah, I didn't want to he treated me right, but then that morning
Oh, he asked me thoroughly. He treated me right, but then that morning... All he asked was that...
He just asked that you leave him alone. He was feeling poorly and you stabbed him unto death.
You don't act like that. You gotta be nice. I don't tolerate rudeness.
But, uh, forville, dear boy, have you ever considered the more peaceful alternative of discussion, of negotiation,
talking with people before you bring out your cold steel blade
and insert it betwixt their ribs?
I would definitely try to curb my problem if I'm with you,
but it's hard.
When you live on the streets and you grow up like that,
everyone's trying to get you.
So sometimes it's just-
How did your original parents die?
Because you're trying to say that you came into
these stabby feelings because of growing up on the streets.
Yeah, because my parents died.
Right, so how did they die?
It was my birthday and they said,
Happy birthday to you and they sing the song and they brought out the cake and...
Classic from Mildred and Patty Hill.
Yeah, they brought out the cake.
Those spinsters?
Yeah, those miserly old croons.
It's still demanding money. Still demanding money.
Still demanding money.
Years after they've passed.
Would you believe it?
I had a birthday party for someone on my staff.
We all sang happy birthday.
There they appeared, rising up out of the floorboards.
And they passed a hat?
They made everyone turn out their pockets.
Some of the poorer members on staff, of course, very embarrassed because they had no money.
And moths flew out of their pockets.
I remember, yeah.
Well, I was mortified on their behalf.
That's happened to me with my wallet every once in a while.
Oh, no.
In the lean years.
The David Lean years.
Yes, when you were impersonating David Lean.
Yes, of course.
Not very...
A weird person to impersonate.
Yeah.
It doesn't get you a lot of money.
Not much demand for it.
No, not at all.
There are very few people ever lords of Arabia parties
So what are we talking about? Oh who cares? So okay, so they sing happy birthday. I stabbed them
Why would you stab someone for singing happy birthday?
They were singing happy birthday and they got me a cake and I want fudgy the whale cake
But you wanted an ice cream cake fudgy the whale cake and the want a Fudgy the Whale cake but... And you wanted an iced cream cake. I'll Fudgy the Whale cake and I want that.
It's your birthday, you should get what you want.
So I don't think that you should blame the streets for your murderous leanings here.
I disagree, Scott. I really disagree.
It sounds like they were instilled in you before you were on the streets.
It seems like your murderous urges kind of...
I think I just learned from the hardships and stuff that just denied from me.
One might say you have a Vigo Mortensonian history of violence.
Some people say I have a Vigo the Carpathian history of science.
From Ghostbusters 2?
Yeah, correct.
I liked Slimer from Ghostbusters 1. Do you remember him?
Do you remember him?
He had a mouth full of hot dogs.
Oh, I love him.
Oh god, I wish I had a mouth full of hot dogs. Oh, I loved him. Oh, God, I wish I had a mouthful of hot dogs.
I liked the cab driver who was a skitter to me.
Oh, yeah, he was great.
You know, a bit of trivia about Slimer.
His name actually wasn't Slimer.
What was his name?
They never called him.
Oh, it was...
Joseph?
It was Joseph, yeah.
And he got the nickname Slimer because, I don't know if you noticed this in the movie but he
actually emitted some sort of slime off of his body which then would
rub off on people. Well that explains the line that Bill Murray has when he
encounters this ghost Slimer and then he's knocked down by the force of this
little green goblin and when he arises from the floor he's covered in slime
and he says out loud to the other actors he slimed me yeah i don't remember that part
true maybe i dreamed it perhaps i'm making it up yeah you might be yeah i think so you've seen
ghostbusters yeah i watched it yeah yeah i watched it with ray park Jr. With Ray Parker Jr. For a couple years did you really was this before your original parents or after after
Before the original Ghostbusters right after I stabbed my parents. I took my dog Sandy and I went on the streets
And then I and we pocket you know with next door. So I just went in there and
And then I went and Ray Parker Jr. lived next door, so I just went in there and sat down. He's not doing much, so we just hung out.
Yeah, he, I mean, he was a session musician, of course, who just kind of lucked into the
Ghostbusters theme.
Lucked into stealing a song from Huey Lewis and the News.
As people luck into stealing things.
That's what happened. I found out that he stole that song from Huey Lewis, so I killed him.
Oh no.
Stabbed him to death.
Yeah, but it was... That's not a secret. Stabbed him to death. Yeah, but it was, I-
That's not a secret, just no one cares about it.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, okay.
So, um, so let me ask, what were we talking about?
May I ask this?
Dear Master Favel, were I to adopt you,
to take you on as my ward at the very least, and install you in
my mansion, which can be seen from space.
Where is your mansion, by the way?
Is it in the merry old land of...
The top of the world.
Okay.
If I were to install you in my top of the world mansion, which can be seen from space,
in order to curb your more stabrionic tendencies, what if I were to put you in a special room? Now this room,
it doesn't necessarily have walls as we know them, but it has the sort of
see-through walls that are sort of made of a bunch of thin sticks just in regular rows on four sides. But these sticks, they are
made of gold, solid gold.
Wow. I've never seen gold before.
What about the ceiling and the floor? Would those also be sticks as well?
No, those would be more squares, just a sort of very solid thick squares.
So out of the six sides of this room, I'm presuming it is six sides.
Is that? Well, it's a little room inside a big room. So it's a four-sided room. Four-sided,
but there's also the top and the bottom. Yeah, so, oh, well, you've got me there. Six sides. So
two of these. Congratulations, Albert Einstein. I don't, I mean... Here's your Nobel Prize in
mathematics. Try not to invent the atom bomb. I think that you are trying to make fun of me for you not knowing something.
That might be exactly what's happening.
All right, but in these six...
Why don't you look into the future and see if that's the case.
In these six sides, the top and the bottom are solid.
Yes.
And the other four...
They're making a roof and a floor.
Sure, and the other four are kind of like...
It seems to what you're describing could otherwise be known as a cage?
Where?
A gilded cage.
A gilded cage!
Not my very own.
Yes, and I would keep you in here for, let's say, one calendar year.
Okay.
In order to make sure that you're not going to stab anyone, but that you can see I mean,
you know how...
And you'll get used to the rhythms of my voice and things that I
will ask you and so you are you not used to these rhythms by the way I'm very
used to them I just you keep harping I'm not gonna kill nobody unless they
unless they see the unless they unless they that's the sticking point like I
wish you would just put a full stop after. Well I wish you would back the fuck up.
How does that sound?
Oh, oh, oh, please.
We won't have that language in the Gilded Gauge.
I'm gonna reach for this.
Just don't act stupid.
I'm gonna reach for this if you don't.
I'm also going to reach for one of the other knives.
Do you think I can't reach quicker?
I think that my reach, I have very long arms.
I'm very fast.
Fast like a rabbit.
I'm a scamper.
Yeah, but you have short little stubby arms and I don't say that to criticize you. I just mean
One moment
Let's do this is gentlemen, let's do this gentlemen, I'm just saying that you you have sort of a baby's body
You know how a baby has just kind of like a fat little just like, like it looks-
Hold me the fuck back, Andrew.
Please, Scalp it.
You look like a little Pillsbury doughboy that went-
I swear to Christ.
Scalp it, you're scaring me even more.
I swear to fucking Christ, I'll slit you from balls to gullet if you don't shut your fucking
mouth already, okay?
All right, okay.
Fucking please, man.
All right, I've shut up.
I just wanted to say that. I don't want to be this way. Okay. Well, all right fucking please man. I've shut up. That's I just wanted to say that I don't want to be this way
Okay, well, I say how close are we to a break?
Why do you you need a break? No, I just have an idea. Oh you have an idea. Yes
Okay, well, why don't we take one and before we take the break? Yes. How about this? Okay
Count of three. Yes, Marquis de Queensbury rules. Okay
Everyone reaches for a knife Count of three. Yes. Marquis de Queensberry rules. Okay.
Everyone reaches for a knife.
One, two, three.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back and boy that was a cliffhanger too.
Let's see who's got what.
Okay, open your hands and we'll see who's got a knife.
This is a candle.
It's an advent candle. Wait, what do you mean by an Advent candle?
You know, what are those purple candles that you light during Advent season?
No, that's an Advent calendar, dear boys.
There's many facets to Advent. Anyway, what are you holding?
Oh my gosh, I'm holding a stick. It looks like a divining rod.
To find water?
Yeah, and it's pointing just sort of northeast.
Oh, it's towards the ocean.
Yeah, oh, OK, there we go.
Northeast?
Towards the ocean?
Towards the Atlantic?
Yes, exactly.
OK, great.
Yes.
Ha ha ha ha.
Well, you can see the Pacific.
Why would you do the Vining Rod?
Ha ha ha ha.
True as true can be.
And bless my buttons.
You're damn right.
Look at little Forvels He's got all the knives!
He's got three greasy knives.
There's even more knives than there were at the table!
He's got some garrotte wire.
Oh my god.
A pungee stick.
He's got a candlestick from Cluedo!
A couple rottweilers.
He's got live dogs!
Oh my goodness.
Live muzzled rottweil Island! How are you that quick?
I told you not to reach, man.
How are you that- I mean, I just assumed from your short little stubby arms that you were-
Oh my god, you're fucking kidding me.
He's got all the knives and some dogs!
I know, but I don't mean to insult you.
You've got a death wish, man.
I don't mean to insult you, I'm just calling him like I see them.
Uh, well, I hope you won't do anything with those.
Well, don't, don't.
Just watch your mouth. Do you want to put them back on the table? I'll put them like I see them. Well, I hope you won't do anything with those. Well, don't, don't, just watch your mouth.
Do you wanna put them back on the table?
I'll put them in this cup holder.
All right, here we go.
All right.
All right, there they are.
All right, guys, so we just have one last thing on the show.
And I did have one question, though, for you, Andrew.
For me?
Yeah, you said I could ask about anything.
Anything at all! Yeah, and I just had one really specific question about, I want to
get deep with you here. Yes. So, can you tell me what were the colors of Joseph's
coat? Oh, of course I can. Okay. Let me see if I remember correctly. It was red and yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black.
I think there was an ochre, peach, ruby, olive, violet, fawn, Fawn. Memories of Lilac.
Gold, of course.
Chocolate.
Mauve.
I think there was also a little bit of cream in there.
Have I said crimson yet? I think there was crimson.
Silver, of course.
Something else in the red palette.
Rose.
Azure.
I think lemon.
Russet.
Crepe.
Did you say crimson?
I did say, I believe I said crimson, yes.
He said it.
Purple.
He said it.
Just like, let him do his thing.
White, even though it's the absence of color.
Pink.
Orange.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He said it. Just let him do his thing. Quiet, even though it's the absence of color.
Pink?
Orange?
Red?
Yellow?
Green?
Brown?
Did I say Scarlet, Black and Oka?
Yes.
You know what it is.
I'm seeing them in my mind.
Ah.
And in my mind, Joseph is turning around.
I feel like you forgot. He's doing a spin, a 360. He's showing it off. Yes, my mind Joseph is turning around. I feel like you forgot.
He's doing a spin, a 360. He's showing it off. Yes and so he's being a real dandy.
I'm seeing them all over again from the beginning. Yeah I feel you've forgotten
a really important one. Did he say crimson? He said crimson. Alright. Oh yeah I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Just shut up and let me in.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
This is most unseemly.
Okay, I'm sorry.
This kid.
Oh, blue, yes, that's the one that I was talking about.
I don't know why I couldn't think of blue.
Yeah, maybe the most popular color of all.
Look, this kid bugs me.
I don't know what he's saying.
Scott, stop being such a fucking bitch.
Four-ful, ooh, oh, please.
Four-ful, why don't you practice your butterfly knifing
for just a little bit?
It's not so good, I will tell you. Let the grown-ups talk for a little bit.
Just try to stab around your fingers, have you ever done anything like that?
Mumbly pig.
Yes.
Are you really going to adopt this?
No, I've never been more terrified in my entire life.
You're not acting like it.
I have to say that you're a very good actor.
I'm trying to appease this monster.
I think you'll be really good on Smash then.
Do you think so?
Yes, because I mean, I would never have guessed.
Is it a bit of a cheat I'm playing myself?
I think it's not a stretch necessarily, but sometimes you have to ease into something
like that.
Do you know, I loved the player where they're all playing themselves and everyone had a
great fun.
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot like how Chris Rock had to play a crack addict before he could
move on to being head of state.
Yes, that's right.
You know what I mean?
He was wonderful in that film.
Underrated. Wonderful. Now, of state. Yes, that's right. You know what I mean? He's wonderful in that film. Underrated. Wonderful.
Scottrick.
Yes?
I need you to spirit me away from this studio.
I don't know that I have the resources to do that.
What?
What exactly do you mean?
You simply must.
Radio helicopter pilot and have him throw down a rope ladder.
We don't have one of those.
I mean, we just have this sort of...
I mean, we just have like kind of a strange hatch that leads into a
hidey hole.
Like a spider hole.
Can I squeeze into this hidey-holing spider hatch?
I guess you could, but I mean, the thing is...
Okay, goodbye.
Wait, it's hidden.
That's the...
I'll find it.
Okay.
Goodbye.
I hope not forever.
I hope not forever.
But goodbye.
Okay.
Hey, Forvel.
Hey. So, Forvel. Hey.
So, uh, how'd that game go?
It went good.
I was practicing my knife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It looks good.
Yeah, you didn't stab your, uh...
Where did my daddy go?
Oh, you didn't see him go away?
No.
Huh.
Yeah, you had your back turned.
He must be going to get the room ready, the cage room.
Yeah, that sounds good to you, huh?
Yeah, I can't wait.
I'm going to be spending a whole year inside that cage.
Finally feel loved and be just like a real boy.
I say, is he gone?
Oh, shit.
Scottrick!
Give me the all clear.
Oh my god.
Found the all clear.
Scott, did you try to pull fast one on me?
I didn't pull anything.
Oh, surely he's gone by now. Oh, hello, Fuffal. Sound the all clear! Scott, did you try to pull fast one on me? I didn't pull anything, I was...
Oh, surely he's gone by now!
Oh!
Oh, hello, Fervo!
Hi, Dad!
You were literally gone for 60 seconds.
That's not enough time to get rid of anyone.
I just thought he would have killed you and gotten bored and wandered off.
I hope that's not rude.
You were willing to sacrifice me?
Not willing to sacrifice you, but willing to turn a blind eye should you be
sacrificed. You're not listening to me. No I can't hear sometimes. I hope this is one of those times.
That's my one good ear. Seems like even with one ear you'd be able to hear. What?
Never mind. So no I didn't pull a fast one on you I was looking in the same
direction as you and this guy just like totally turned around and he tried to
Get out of here. This guy is a Lord after Lord Webber by the way. Look I'm not gonna lie. I understand
Is that what adults usually do? It's just my favorite and I really wanted to live with you
But you know, I got a lot of baggage and stuff though.
Father, though it means my most certain death,
will you please let me adopt you? Oh I know it! Oh my gosh! This is the greatest day of my life! Please
become my murderous son! Or ward! Oh ward! Let's see how it goes. Ward first! Yeah, like a robin type!
Yes, we'll solve some crimes! Yeah! Vigilante justice. Sweet. I got a sweet little outfit on, too, so...
Yeah.
Wait, now that I see it, yes, it is rather reminiscent of your rags and tatters I just
assumed were clothes that were wearing off of you.
They're actually a very carefully constructed little Robin costume.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Uh, this is amazing.
I've always wanted to visit your place, and you've never invited me.
Well, no.
Well, surely you didn't expect invited me. Well, no.
Surely you didn't expect an invitation.
Well, you're on this program so many times.
Yes. How many times have I been invited, dear boy?
One.
Yes. And this is that time?
And now I would like to be invited to your place.
Well, why don't you try bursting into my home a few times?
Yeah, try it.
And then we'll see how it goes. Seems to lead to invitations.
Try bursting in and see what happens.
Okay.
Oh, I like this.
So it seems like you have some sort of like little attack dog here at the ready now that
you're going to keep in a cage and you're going to protect your house.
Please don't talk that way about my ward, who's also my Vigilante justice partner.
I mean, I thought that you and I were cool on this.
Look, I'm terrified of him.
Why did you say that you were going to adopt him? Look, I'm terrified of him. Why did you just...
I'm trying to appease him.
Why did you say that you were going to adopt him?
I'm trying to appease him.
Are you going to try to ditch him?
No, I'm going to try to escape the earliest convenience, don't you understand?
You're not actually going to adopt him?
I can't know why would I?
He's a stabbing little maniac.
Well, how do we get rid of this guy?
I don't know.
I think the only thing to do is to try to out reach him to one of these knives and kill him
All right, the knives are back on the table. Yeah
Well, I think the mistake that we made the last time. Yes was that we announced that we were gonna all reach for this
Yes, yes, I think you're right. We should get the jump on him. Yes
We should reach for these knives before he does so that way we have at least like a half second before he
I say should we have a code word? Yeah, yeah, what should the code word be?
A knife?
Knife grab.
Knife grab.
Okay, so if either of us says knife grab,
then we're both gonna reach for the-
Not a grab knife.
This has to be crystal clear.
Okay.
Knife grab.
Knife grab.
How can we remember that?
You remember knife.
There has to be some mnemonic-
Yes, a mnemonic device.
Let's see. Let us know that when we grab the knife, we wanna say knife grab. Knife grab, a mnemonic device. Let's see.
Let us know that when we grab the knife, we want to say knife grab.
Knife grab.
The signal is knife grab.
How do we remember to grab the knives when we hear the term knife grab?
Well, K stands for kid.
Yes, he's a kid.
Yes.
N stands for naughty.
He's a naughty kid.
Yes, he is.
Kid, naughty.

Also, every good boy deserves fun.
That's true.
Okay.
So that's that.
G.
Yes, G.
Go ahead.
I did knife, you can do.
Of course.
Fast for help.
G stands for ganzugs.
I'm terrified of this little child who's going to stab me with a
knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upper hand.
Okay, fantastic.
So remember that.
All right.
R stands for really, don't you think it's time you grab the knife?
Okay, good. A, we're up to A.
A stands for a shame it would be worth this little boy to grab the knife first and stab us.
It's okay.
And then of course that leads us to the last letter, B.
B, boy.
Boy.
Okay.
So we have it for kid.
Let's review.

E, every good boy deserves fudge and education.
That's right.
Dual meaning, okay.
G, gazooks.
Gazooks.
This little boy's gonna stab me.
This little boy's gonna stab me.
