Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang! Uh, an interesting hypothesis, one we probably will not explore, but thanks to the tiny mammoth for that catchphrase submission. Don't think it's gonna stick, but who knows? Next week I may say it again. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. This is, of course, used to be the show where we talked to interesting people.

Now it is Humanities and the Animal Kingdoms podcast. We have a great few guests coming up. We have a person, I don't even know how to describe him, a person who used to clean ice out of urinals. I can't remember if he cleaned ice out of them or whether he just cleaned the ice that was in them or the ice would melt and he would pour more into them. But we'll figure out all of that out when he comes on a little later. We also have a person with an exciting opportunity coming up after that.

Packed show, I have to say. I mean, some of these shows, I gotta tell you, the worst fucking guests, come on this. And this week we have a guy who used to clean ice out of a urinal. Someone with an enticing, exciting opportunity, I should say. But let's get to our first guest. clean ice out of a urinal. Someone with an enticing, exciting opportunity, I should say.

But let's get to our first guest. She is a writer and a director, used to, full disclosure, used to edit the Comedy Bang Bang television program. So you know there'll be softballs. Although I gotta say, if you were just walking down the street and someone threw a softball at you, that would be dangerous. So who knows what...

The safest kind of softball somebody could throw at you. Exactly. The IFC's kind of thing. Close up. She has a new film that she co-wrote and directed called The People's Joker, which was embroiled in controversy at TIFF earlier in the year, but it has its premiere this Saturday at Outfest.

Please welcome Vera Drew, hello. Hello, thanks for having me on. Great to have you. So nice to see you again. I was so, I'm so nervous to do this because I've been listening. You've been on the other side. Oh, you've been listening too.

Well, I, yeah, I mean, I gotta admit, like I haven't, I have fallen off a little bit in recent years. When, was it COVID? Oh, having me as a boss, you're about to say. You see the behind the, yeah, you see all the bullshit behind the, yeah, I get it. Surprisingly though, I have, I've revisited the,

I've seen Comedy Bang Bang quite a bit over the years. Like it's, I think just the wealth of it. I hear it's good. Yeah, yeah. Age is like fine wine. Which seasons did you work on? And my impression of it was four and five, but I don't know.

I started, so I was on set for season two as a DIT. And if people don't as a DIT. And if people don't know what DIT is, it's basically dit, right? Yeah, exactly. I'm still not quite sure what that job was. It's a person who basically would run in all the time and go, you have to stop, you have to stop, we have to do the DIT.

And then everything would shut down for like 15 minutes. Yeah, most stressful job I think you could have on set, just constantly telling people, we have to do the DIT. And then everything would shut down for like 15 minutes. Most stressful job I think you could have on set, just constantly telling people, we're running out of media and I need to back up everything. I think we lost that entire take. Well, we would also do long ass takes, which was, DIT is basically the person

who takes all of the things, recording everything, transfers it, wipes it clean, and then comes back with those because they're all expensive and you need to recycle them as much as you can. But we would do super long takes and it would be like, and every once in a while it would be like,

we need to stop. Because you're just running out of memory. Which you never wanna do while somebody's in the middle of an improvised. Yeah, if they're on a roll, but that was hardly ever a problem on our show. Yeah, yeah. So second season, you were the person doing that,

and I gave you Neri a glance. Yeah, no, I don't think we talked maybe once. I think I talked to Reggie that season more than you. I doubt he remembers. Well, he's a real glad hander. He's out there like meeting all the crew. Yeah. Learning.

One thing about him, he likes to learn what everyone does, what everyone's job is. Yeah. And he memorizes their name and he memorizes all their children's names. Yeah. So I couldn't remember his lines. He learned everybody's name and occupation on set.

But yeah, then I came in, I think my first episode was the Kevin Smith episode, actually. Oh, season three, yes. Season three. Late in season three. Late in season three, and then yeah, came in strong, four and five. And four was the- Four was the mammoth season.

The crazy 15. So you were basically on for more than half the show because you essentially did about 65 episodes out of 110. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy just having that many things that I've edited. And I feel like, particularly that season four, kind of was an impossible task

of trying to deliver that many episodes. It was hard, yeah, it was. And I made you guys work weekends, of trying to deliver that many episodes. It was hard, yeah, it was. And I made you guys work weekends, but you had a weird schedule. You had, was it Wednesdays through Sundays, I believe, because I had to shoot Monday through Friday, and then I would Saturday and Sunday work with you guys. Yeah. Yeah.

You'd come in very, very tired on the weekends. Yeah, apparently doing that job was not good for my health, my sanity. Yeah, yeah, I can only imagine, especially like the days where you were like filming multiple episodes in a day and then coming in and like hanging out

with a bunch of sweaty editors. You guys were not sweaty. I wanna make sure that is expressly expressed. I was playing into the stereotypes, I guess, a little bit. No, you guys actually used to take baths in the middle of the day, didn't you? Yeah. Well, that was when we flipped and became a union show.

They actually made us do that. Union guarantees, yeah. They make you take one communal bath per day. But that was more from our side. We were like, let's get these guys to be, that's in our contract. So you worked on that for a while and then you, then I didn't see you for a while,

you were working at that public access station for a little while, with Stoney. Yeah. And then I didn't see you for a while, then you, now another full disclosure, you hit me up, I'm actually in this film. Yes, yeah. I'm a movie star. You, I'm actually in this film. Yes, yeah. I'm a movie star.

You play Mr. Freeze in this film. Let's talk about the film because you hit me up to be in it and I didn't really know what it was, but I'll do anyone any kind of favor basically. I was shocked that you said, the lack of context that was given, I was so blown away that it was an immediate yes. No, honestly, like anyone I've worked with,

if they want me to do something, I'll do it. Also, I'm offer only and your offer was zero dollars. And I was like, well, that's a loophole. Yeah, yeah. But what is, this film is, I wanted to have you on to talk about it because it's had a fascinating journey to its now premiere this Saturday.

Describe, first of all, just describe what is the film? it's had a fascinating journey to its now premiere this Saturday. First of all, just describe what is the film? So it's about an unfunny transsexual clown named Joker who starts an illegal comedy theater in Gotham City. And it's very, I mean, it's a Batman parody. That's what I say, you know, legally cover my base. And that's what it is. But it's really like autobiographical,

just about my experience working in comedy and coming out as a trans woman and kind of being on, you know, cause I've gotten to work on like really cool stuff, like comedy bang bang and I got... God bless you for remembering, but you also did, I mean you worked through absolutely, right? So you did. What else did you do? You did. I worked on Eric Andre's show. I was on season one of Nathan for You, Craft Punk's political party, a handful of Tim and Eric things I co-directed and produced Tim and Eric's Beef House,

which nobody watched. But- Not even me, I don't even know what it is. It like came out right at the start of the pandemic, which just kind of- Good timing. Yeah, yeah, that was by design. We didn't want anybody to watch it.

March 20th. Yeah, on Adult Swim to when alt comedy was a central word. There was a time early in the pandemic where you would watch anything. I remember watching that Will Ferrell, what's the big music festival in Sweden or whatever that they do? I forget what that movie's called, but.

Oh, the Eurovision. Yeah, Eurovision. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. And just something would come out and it'd be like, thank God, something's here. But apparently not Beef House. No, but yeah, I was really, I mean, I've had a handful of like web series

and like video art projects and stuff throughout the years where I was very much on like the fringe and very like kind of unfunny and kind of figuring out my identity through like the art I was creating. So, and I really, I wanted to make a movie about that and I'm obsessed with Batman. The caped crusader some call him.

Yes, yeah, yeah. Is that a good chime in? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just stops the train of thought immediately. Great chime in. But yeah, that's kind of the long and short of it. It's a comedy, but it's also like a very kind of tender,

queer coming of age story. And you, are you in it or? Yeah, I play a character called Joker. The titular Joker? Yes, the titular Joker. I'm the first trans woman ever played Joker. Let's go through the Jokers. You have Caesar Romero.

Yes, possibly the best because he refused to shave his mustache. I did that on a show that Paul F. Tompkins was on where I put on a fake mustache and makeup over it as a tribute to Caesar Romero. And then you have Jack. Yeah, it wasn't you have Jack. Yeah, it wasn't anybody till Jack.

Right, and then of course you have, I forget who else, but anyway, some good people. And then you're the first trans person to play the role. Do you think he'll be the last? Probably based off of the legal response from Warner Brothers. Let's talk about this. So basically the show was, or the movie rather,

some people call things shows when you're in, when they go, I'm working on this show, but it happens to be a movie. Yeah, like you'll hear like grips gathered around me, like I just got off this last show. Do the grip voice though. I just got off this last show. You know, they're talking about like the last Indiana Jones

or whatever, that's a movie actually. But I think you just slipped up. I don't know if that's- I probably did slip up. Thank you for keeping me honest. But this was scheduled to come out at TIFF. It show, there was one showing and then you mentioned before Warner Brothers put a,

gave you a cease and desist. Is that right? Well, yeah. So we never, we never got an official cease and desist. We really just got kind of this strongly worded letter that was like, we don't think this is a parody. What makes something a parody? Because if you can put out Batman a porn parody,

it's just people in Batman costumes fucking. Batman's been fucking Joker and Robin and Catwoman on screen for years, but somebody can't make like a tender gay Batman movie. But yeah, so they sent us that letter literally like two days before we were supposed to premiere. And they had known about the movie. Like I'm friends with a handful of people

in like the Harley Quinn writers' room. Yeah, the Penguin himself is my brother. And they really waited to the last minute. I think they were trying to kind of kill our, to really get into the roots, kill a big film sale. And like, this movie is getting a lot of- There's no point in doing it two weeks before because then you would explore your options

and learn that you could do it or whatever. But two days before has meant that happened to me once when we were doing the day the clown cried reading with Patton Oswalt, which is this Jerry Lewis movie. We were doing a script reading and we would do it around town every once in a while. And then they gave us a cease and desist, like a few hours before we were supposed to go on.

And that it just is there to scare you. Yeah, and yeah, like really scare you. And it freaked me out, I yeah, like really scare you. And it, you know, it freaked me out, I guess. But I think your being it's scared my like team more and kind of the people that were sort of trying to help help me put together a release. And we weren't going to premiere. But I was like, I got a passport to go to Canada. Like, we should do it. Like, we're all here. So we actually negotiated with the head of do it. Like we're all here. So we actually negotiated with the head of Warner Canada and we're like, we have like an army full of people

that are already ready to see this movie tomorrow. Let us screen. So we had our screening. It was great. And then I kind of paused after that to sort of go back to my lawyers and just make sure that we were in the legal green zone.

And I had to finish the movie. The movie still had some effects and stuff that needed to be done. It's live action, but there's a lot of animation and every kind of animation, stop motion, 3D, 2D. So there was a lot of moving parts that I needed to bring home before we started screening again. And I also wanted to come back with a plan this time

instead of just- Because did you hope to get it sold when you were up there and then come back? And is it sold? Is that why it's premiering or what's the status now? We don't have any distribution plan set in stone, but it is coming together right now. I mean, really, Outfest,

and pretty much every festival that we've screened at since TIFF, because we've done a handful of secret screenings. I did a whole secret tour with the movie in Australia. Like every festival. Down Under? Oh yeah, Down Under. Does Batman, is he different down there?

Like it's as he worked during the day? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Um. It's so crazy like, you know, like being 18 years old and listening to like comedy death ray on a radio, listening to you ask these kind of questions to somebody. And they're funny when you're listening. Yeah.

It's not so funny when you're sitting here. Like breaking into a sweat. But yeah, like every like Outfest has just really gone to bat for us. I mean, they're sponsored by Warner Brothers. Gone to bat, by the way, is a pun. And we should just like really let everyone know that you meant to say that. Yeah. Moment of silence for that. And yeah, that's that's kind of why we were sort of confident

that we were able to screen and that's great. And, you know, I mean, the little I learned about parody law, doing Comedy Bang Bang, because we would have all these like conversations with lawyers all the time. And the closer you are to the thing, the better. Like I remember there was one thing where we were trying to parody the ghoulies,

which were the, I don't know if you remember the little monsters that come out of the toilet and like bite your butt or whatever. And we put them in there and we called them something else and the lawyer was like, no, no, no, you gotta call, you gotta call them ghoulies. That way everyone knows you're parodying the ghoulies. So like, and you're parodying Batman.

There's like Batman costumes and Joker costumes and stuff. So it's like, yeah. We've, and like- You're not, you're not basically trying to fool people into going like, this is the new Batman movie that's coming out. Exactly, and like, I think, you know, the kind of like, deep, like negative nerd response

out of Tiff was like, why didn't you just call it like the jokester or something? And it's like, because I actually couldn't do that. Yeah, that's actually not legal. Yeah, do that. Yeah, that's actually not legal Yeah, like that is the that's trying to and that's pretty good the jokester The movie goes out of its way To show that it is not a DC movie like like it's I mean there's there's a lot of canon references just because like I love Batman and

all the iterations of Batman, but like, you know, it's the worst Batman that you will ever see. Like he's more like kind of just like an overweight cop in it and- It is interesting because Batman, you know, when you really think about it, you go like, oh, this poor little guy, he got his parents face blown off or whatever.

And so he goes and fights crime. He's really a rich dude who's out there stomping on poor people. Yeah, and like is still, like, look, we all have trauma. Like it's 2023, all of our lives are miserable. Go to one therapist, Batman. Yeah, you'll get over it. Like this is not the solution.

I don't know that they've ever shown him going to a therapist in the comics, which would, that would cure him. Yeah, it's, yeah. And worse than that, he's like a super dick now. Like it used to be like, hey, okay, he's out there and he's at least like, you know, he had this shit happen to him,

but he's out there, you know, trying to help out. Now he's just an asshole to Superman. Yeah, I mean, I think that was the thing too, making this movie. Like I really loved the like, I mean, I grew up on the Schumacher Batmans. Like I loved the Tim Burton ones, but I loved Batman forever. I saw it, I remember seeing it as a kid

and seeing Nicole Kidman in that movie was an early, oh, I think I'm trans or gay or something for me because just seeing her and the way Batman looked at her and the rubber nipples, some wires got either crossed or connected in that moment. Just everything was pinging for you at that moment. Exactly. Like, oh boy.

Rubber nipples. I just love the, I love the colorful campy fun. Did you like the little projected question marks anytime the Riddler would come on, onto the set? Yeah, all the like, yeah, like the neon. Like he's in there like setting up lights beforehand, or at least telling someone like, hey, I want all these question marks projected all over.

It's like where all the money from like the diamond heist goes to. The production design of his lair. Yeah. I like miss those. I mean, I love the Nolan Batman's like as much as anyone, but I don't need any more gritty. It was cool to see something like, hey, this is Batman realistically,

but now we don't need to go darker. It's like how much, you know, already like this new one, you can't see what's happening on screen. And it's too, it's way too quiet. It's like, what's next? Let's go back. Let's go back to the, let's out Schumacher Schumacher. Yeah, no, yeah.

I really wanted to make him proud with this movie. And I hope in heaven he's watching down. Do you think he's in heaven? I'd like to think so, like Bat Heaven at least. Yeah, at least. He's probably in a very specific type of heaven. Like that's where Alfred went when he died. Spoilers for the current comic book.

By the way, I know the current writer, Chip Zdarsky. Oh boy. If you're listening, Chip. You have a few notes. Is that? Anyway, so the People's Joker, it comes out, well, it premieres this Saturday. You were telling me 9.15.

I'm going to check that against the official record, but apparently that's your opinion. It comes out 9.15 this Saturday. Yeah, that is a weird time to... It's strange, especially like I can understand if it's an hour and 45 minutes, but it's an hour and a half. It's an hour, it's a cold 92, so I don't really know. Maybe they, and when you say cold 92, it was a Mr. Freeze pun.

Yes, yeah, yeah. You meant to say that. Thank you for catching that one too. And I play Mr. Freeze in the film, which upon your instructions, I recorded approximately 40 takes on an iPhone of my line, lines, I don't know, but I don't remember. And I picked what I would describe

as the most Scott Aukerman tick. I felt like I did about 40 reads. I was like, oh, the 40th one was actually good. Yeah, no, but that's- But I bet you didn't listen to it all the way through. No, I definitely think the last one, like if I may do it- Yes, oh sure.

Cool party. Okay, sure. Yes, oh sure. Cool party. Okay, sure. The most fancy boy. Right. Wonderful. And people know it's the craziest thing is there's nothing about the design of the character to suggest it's you, but it is like, I mean, to my credit, I guess I'm a good director. Like I did pick the Scott Aukerman take because people know it's you.

And the other people who are in it, you have Tim is in it, right? Yeah, Tim plays Perry White. It's kind of a Alex Jones version of Perry White. Bob Odenkirk plays Bob Lagoon. Elliot Glazer plays a character named Timmy two times. Sarah Squirms? Sarah, Maria Bamford now plays Lauren Michaels. That's one thing you found you can't do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Sarah was Lauren Michaels. She was in the movie before she was cast.

That was one of the aftertips. That's why she was cast. Yes, yeah. I heard someone does a good impression of me. You're on the shoe. That was one of the aftertips. That's why she was cast. Yes. Yeah. I heard someone does a good impression of me. You're on the shoe. Yeah. Well, this is great.

The People's Joker comes out this Saturday. And after that, we don't know, but how can people follow along with the saga? You can follow me at Virajru22 on Twitter. I also am doing a behind the scenes podcast for my Patreon, patreon.com slash Virajoo 22. And yeah. What's the 22 for? Is that the year that you started it or is it? Just rhymes, I think. I think there's also. I think it does. You're right.

Hold on. Let's test it out. Drew 2. Drew 2. Yeah. And then the extra 2 adds a little bit of, it adds like the syllable in between. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Okay. Well, people can follow it there. We're gonna take a break and, Vera, you can stick around, right? Because we have some exciting,

did you hear who's coming up? We have- They sound exciting. Yeah, someone who cleaned ice out of a urinal, once at least, and then someone with an exciting opportunity. Pretty good for this show, not bad. No, no, you've landed some good guests.

I feel very honored to be among this illustrious group. All right, well, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have more from Vera Drew. We'll have more Comedy Bang Bang. We'll be right back after this. Comedy Bang Bang. Yeah. Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang, we'll be right back after this. Yeah.

Comedy Bang Bang, we're back. Vera Drew is here, the People's Joker, out this Saturday at an odd time, 9.15. I would suggest getting there by nine, just in case something happens that starts early. I'm like wondering if I should show up early just to be on the safe side. I think you should show up early no matter what. I'm so traumatized from Tiff that I worry that like it is just like not going to happen

in some way. Like you might get one of those cease and desists literally because of this show, like some, you know, the Brothers Warner are listening or something like that and they send you another one. So we'll see. I mean, you're tempting fate by being on this show because it's a very popular podcast, Humanities podcast, and of course, the Animal Kingdoms. We need to get to our next guest. He is the aforementioned person who used to dump ice in a urinal or clean the ice that was in it or take ice out.

I used to dump the ice in the urinal and then the urine cleans the ice out of the urinal. That doesn't sound very sanitary to me. Well, we've talked before about how cold your urine stream is. That's a good point. But everyone else's is incredibly hot and it melts the ice, which gives you a sense of power. Mine would make the ice even more ice, essentially.

Yeah, it'd be a glacier. Hence your perfect casting as Mr. Freeze. Thank you so much. Mary, you must have known, by the way, as far as A-Block interviews go, no shade. That's the best, most interesting, informative interview you've ever conducted. I learned something, you were at attention,

and every time you got called out, I was like, dang. I mean, it's not bad. I think I'm getting OK at this after 14 years. In my 15th year, I'm like, yeah. I mean, it's not bad. I think I'm getting okay at this after 14 years. In my 15th year, I'm like, I do all right. This was at, he used to do this job at my favorite restaurant, which is called what? The Domeos. Oh, Domeos.

D apostrophe. The Domeos. Domeos. That's my favorite restaurant. Yeah. And he has his own podcast called, what is it called again? Hey Randy, a Randy Snuts show.

And that's over at CBB World. Please welcome back to the show, Randy Snuts himself. Hello, Randy. How could I possibly top that introduction? Does every guest come on here trying to top their introduction? I mean, come on, you could just be yourself. I couldn't do better myself though.

Well, you don't have to, you're the guest. You set a high bar, Scott, and I'll never reach it. You are very complimentary today, Randy. I'm not used to it. Well guest. Oh, you set a high bar, Scott, and I'll never reach it. You are very complimentary today, Randy. I'm not used to it. Well, you know, it's a new year, so I have new habits. Okay, that's good to know. This is Vera, by the way. How you doing, Vera?

Hey, nice to meet you. Likewise. I really admire your work. Oh, really? What do you know of Randy Snuts' work? The ice part of it, or? Yeah, yeah, and the particularly, I think I really resonate with like the that feeling of power like when the ice is melting and absolutely. Do you do? Would you? That was the other thing I

didn't know like would you dump the ice and that's the end of your relationship to that particular batch of ice or would you come in and check on it all the time and see its progress? Yeah, you have to come in and check to see if more ice needs dumping. But would you check on it just to see how it's going without that part of it? So you're saying, would I have a personal relationship with this batch of ice? Sure, like you just want to know, like is it melting? Yeah, absolutely I do. I want to know that other people are feeling their power. Like say you dumped a big thing of ice and they were like, Randy, you're off the clock,

you go home now. Would you like wait another half hour? Can't do it. I'm giving you work for free. I gotta wait until that last cube of ice is melted. And then watch someone else put the new batch of ice in. Uh-huh. They'd shake their hand, then we wash our hands together, then we walk out. Wonderful. Randy, it's so good to see you. You, of course, a long time guest on this show. The saga of all of your comings and goings is legendary.

Oh, thanks. You have your friends, Amber and Stu, of course. They're on my podcast. I do Placidus Girlfriend, Carissa is on the podcast. And of course, our ne'er do well moron libertarian friend, Mark Padavano is on the podcast. And what is going on with Carissa? You mentioned Carissa, but what is, are you guys,

because sometimes you come on here and you're broken up. Sometimes you're back together. Where are you? Absolutely. I mean, it depends on how her devious meter is flowing. Right, and where is it? Is it off the charts right now? Right now, no, we're in a good place right now. Oh, good. Yeah.

So we're together. I've started a new endeavor. Obviously I haven't worked at Dodomeo's in a long time. Wait, and why is that? I never knew why you didn't work there anymore. Suddenly I got there and there was no ice anymore. They didn't have an ice budget or what exactly happened? Yeah, they lost their ice budget and I was the first one cut.

You know, pandemic hit and they were like, hey, we got a scale back. We're going to take out. And I was like, so you don't need. Would you maybe, did you pitch like, maybe I could throw some ice in the bag. Yeah, ice in the bag. For the take out, and they could put it

in their own toilets. Oh, I mean, you're reading my mind. I had written little handwritten things, stapled to little bags of ice that said. Like little fortune cookies, but it was. They all were the same thing. Oh, what was? Well, they all said, if you dare,

dump this ice in your toilet at home and pee in it to get a sense of power. Why isn't it like, it kind of sounds like a threat. Yeah, if you dare, why put the if you dare there? If you dare? Yeah. Well, cause it seems like first of all, you're calling people who don't dare cowards.

True. Implicitly. Yes, absolutely. Why are you afraid to feel this power? Right. Why are you afraid to melt ice with your urine stream? It's hot, it's inside you. But you bring up a good question though.

Why don't we have ice in our toilets all day? If it's so great in the urinal at restaurants, like why don't we do it at home? Well, cause well, first off, you have to have like an ice machine. Not everybody has that. Sure. But if you, but I mean, you could make the cubes yourself, like overnight.

True. Dump them in in the morning. Uh-huh. Then refill them. Yeah. And then by the time you need more ice, you know, maybe they're ready again, you know. I think that it might take away the special sensation of visiting, you know, an establishment and going into the bathroom and being like, I have to do my dirty business again.

So it's basically why you don't have a maitre d' at your house. This is for the restaurant. Yeah, and I'm not gonna be a maitre d' myself. I'm not gonna be like, Karissa, right this way, sit down, I ordered pizza. Although it sounds nice. Yeah, she might like that. She might like some special treatment once in a while.

Yeah, that's true. What do you do for her? What do I do? Do you do special things for her? Yeah, absolutely. Like what? I say things like, that was not duplicitous. So I affirm her good Yeah, absolutely. Like what? I say things like, that was not duplicitous. You know, so I affirm her good behavior.

Right. So you think the way that she treats me, I should be nice to her? I don't know. Personally, I think you guys should break up. I mean, I've always said that. Yeah, well, that's coming up soon. Oh, you think so?

Well, you said you were in a good place. Well, I've broken up like 785 times. We're gonna get back together. Right. You know, cause I love the way you lie. Are you gonna get married? I mean, do you see that in your future? Children, marriage?

I don't know, right now we're a dink couple. What is dink? What does that mean? Double income, no kids. Where does she work? I don't even know. Yeah, I don't know. She's between jobs right now.

I mean, it's her unemployment. We're like a sink couple right now. Yeah, true, true. But I got a new endeavor. Oh, well, yeah, your new endeavor. What's going on? So you know, like a couple of years ago, I bought a limousine off of Craigslist. I guess I didn't know that, but okay.

Oh, you didn't? How would I have known that? I announced that on the show. Okay, sure. Okay, I don't remember every single thing we've talked about on the show. I barely remember the name of my favorite restaurant, which is apparently Didomeos.

Yeah. Okay, got it. You probably haven't been in a while. No, I mean, you know, after COVID, no ice. No dice. No visit. Yeah, thank you. No ice, no dice. That's one of those rhymes that we were talking about with beer earlier.

Nice. That's another one. I know. Thrice. Yeah, well now four times, but yeah. Thrice. Fried rice. Yep, there we go.

Hey, there we go. That's the Pentagon. Yeah, so we did it. I wonder how many times they have fried rice at the Pentagon. Do you think they get food delivered at the Pentagon or are people not allowed to bring food in there? Because if so, that would be a major security breach, I would think.

This is one of those Chimans Vera was talking about not being good for the podcast. Why? I'm interested. You want to take a tangent to talk about fried rice at the Pentagon? Yeah. Okay. I bet they have it every other day. I hope so. I hope that for them.

They probably do eat it a lot there because I think there is a food court that's like one of the like staples of food court. Is it right there in the center of the Pentagon? That would be so cool. Yeah, it's so big. That's why they had to build it. They built a food court first.

There's like an Orange Julius and a Darwiner Schnitzel. Sbarro. Generals are going up there. Fast pizza at Sbarro. Like, could you take a paper napkin and kind of press the oil out of that slice of Sbarro? See, this turned out to be a good chime in. It was, it was pretty good.

Okay, good. Anyway, so your new endeavor. I have a new endeavor. So I converted my limousine into a traveling karaoke station. Oh, yeah, I remember something like this. So you would pick people up. I pick people up.

It's BYOB that can bring in whatever they want. Really? Well, then you have to park if you want a drink. Oh, okay. If you want to drink. Well, I you have to park if you want to drink. Oh, okay. If you want to drink. Well, I mean, no, if they want to drink, you can't drive around with an open container. I've always wondered,

what is the legality of having liquor in the back of a limo? Is it just because it's a limo and there's like a window in between? Yeah, and the window on mine is busted, so. Oh, okay. If we get pulled over, they're gonna be like, oh, the window wasn't up.

Well, like if you were drinking in the back seat of my car and I get pulled over, can I just go, no, this is a limo. Test your luck, my friend. Just install a window, I guess. I guess, yeah. See, I installed TVs. I got a karaoke machine at this vintage shop in town. I installed that and now we're good to go.

All right, so how, you did that how long ago? About a year ago or so? Well, no, I bought the limo a couple of years ago, but I just recently converted into a karaoke station. Oh, okay. So which is, it's been great. It's been very fruitful. People love my hosting skills too.

Oh, so are you driving while you're hosting? I'm driving and I have a microphone up front. And then there's one microphone in the back. What's that one for? The people singing? Yeah, the guests. Oh, okay. Well, that was implied. It's not karaoke.? The people singing? Yeah, the guests. Oh, okay.

Well, that was implied. It's not karaoke. You said it like it was a special thing. Well, it seemed like you were implying that the karaoke was I drive around and sing karaoke and people just sit in the back and booze it up. No, I was not implying that. I just find it funny that you're hosting while driving. That's all I asked you.

Well, it's just hosting. I kick things off and then I get the mood going with a song. You know, I have a couple of standards that I'm really good at. Well, what are you good at? Which ones? Oh, you want to hear it? Not the song, but I just want to hear the title of them.

Okay, La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf. Are you singing it in that language? In that language? Like, you know, French. Absolutely, yeah. I could give you 15, 20 seconds. Sure, let's hear it. I've got bars. Okay. Okay, Hold on a second.

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens, un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche. Voilà le portrait sans retouche de la mot quel j'appartiens. Conti me prontam se bra, e me parla tuba, Je boit la fiora. Hold on a second, Randy. It was beautiful for the intro part of it. It was, I'm not a trained singer. No, it sounded amazing and then suddenly,

like what happened when the chorus came in? I'm not a trained singer, I'm not really sure. It all sounded the same to me, but I don't have an ear for music. I don't have perfect pitch. It just sounded like range to me, like you've got- Oh no, no. I don't have perfect pitch. Why are you sounding like range to me? Like you've got- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I've got no range. No, my music teacher- You're like Bruce Hornsby when he went solo. Abs, oh my God. The amount of times I've gotten in bar fights because people are like, hey motherfucker, you sound like Bruce Hornsby when he went solo.

And I'm like, that's it. I'm gonna cut you up. So if you have no ear for music, why are you doing this? Just it's a money making opportunity? Absolutely. I'm an entrepreneur at the end of the day. Yeah.

Like anybody else. Yeah. Here's my Venmo code. Go ahead and scan it. All right, here we go. There we go. All right, now I'm gonna request some cash from you. Why?

Because I just serenaded you. I mean, I guess I did ask for request some cash from you. Why? You we. Because I just serenaded you. I didn't. I mean, I guess I did ask for it, but you offered. You're asking for it all the time, my friend. Look at that outfit. Bare feet in the studio. Hey, this is my home. Oh, still.

Okay. I can have bare feet in my own home. I'm not saying you only have to ask for it out in public. Clearly you're asking for it at home as well. Hopefully I get it at home. No kidding. You're making, I got a joker smile looking at those two. Right Vera? I'm not going to participate in this part of it. Okay. My friend is looking exfoliated and hydrated down there.

Down there. Hey, my eyes are above my feet. Okay. Somewhere. You got to find them, but they're up a little bit higher. Okay, I'm going up the body. I haven't seen them yet. They're usually towards the top. This is a feast for the senses, the sense of sight. Oh, there they are. Wow, beautiful.

That took you so long to climb up his body. He was like six, two. Yeah, you're really resting on the midsection there for a long time. I thought I'd see the eyes. There are a few things down there that look like the eyes, but it turns out it's just buttons and belts. And bulges, of course.

Ah, yeah, that's true. The eyes, the crotch of the face. For a minute, I bet you thought that one of my eyes was popping out like a cartoon, but no, that was just my boner that I have while I record this show. Yep, your single eye-shaped boner. Single cartoon pop-eyed shaped boner. An early Matt Groening looking eye boner down there.

How would I describe my boner? Well, 1987 Matt Groening eyes. Well, this sounds great. So you, I mean, how much business have you received? Pretty good business, you know, all you gotta do is like you post a couple of things on Craigslist, local Craigslist is really active for us. There's a lot of people that have not abandoned it.

Really? Okay. There are a lot of sex workers there. Sure, okay. Do people expect that from you when you come and pick them up or they like? Maybe, I mean, that explains some of the comments that I've gotten, but I don't discriminate.

Discriminate what? discriminate what people who want sex workers Oh sure, but no, but so when you say you don't discriminate if they want sex from you You just give that give it to them. No, I don't discriminate that that's what they think I offer I say no. No, I was gonna say your definition of not discriminating. Oh very different They come expecting a sex worker. You don't discriminate so you do it. No, no, no, I'm not discriminating. You're intimating that I am. I'm not intimating anything. I'm just merely asking you questions, Randy.

Okay, well, my answer to that question is I say, no, thank you, I'm not looking for that. Would you like to listen to some karaoke? I'd do some. And then usually they're like. And then do they say, when you say do some, what do you mean? They do say that.

They do say that, yeah, absolutely. And then I'm like, what you say do some, what do you mean? They do say that. They do say that, yeah, absolutely. And then I'm like, what do you think I'm in? Wink, wink, and then they're like, why did you just say wink, wink? Because that's what I say when they say that. Okay, yeah, but I'm imagining them saying, why did you just say wink, wink? Oh yeah, that's exactly what they say.

And then I say, I'm winking at you, you must know what I mean. That's the thing, winks have gotten a bad rap, haven't they? Because anytime you like, you wink at someone, it's suggestive supposedly. It's like, no, it's just fun to do. You know, go do it to your friends every once in a while.

Wink it at me right now. No kidding. It's fun. Those toes are twinkling as much as your eyes. See, now you're turning it into a weird thing. I'm just winking at you. Why is it weird? Like a friend. Okay, the foot is the part of the body thing. I'm just winking at you. Why is it weird? Like a friend.

Okay, the foot is the part of the body. Hey, I can't argue with that. There we go. You got me there. I'm not being weird by looking at your bare feet in studio. You're parading around showing us right now. I'm not prancing, I'm not parading. For those of you listening at home or at work,

or I mean, wherever the hell you are, Scott's got his feet up on the table. He's twinkling his toes at us. I'm doing sort of a wink with my toes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So this sounds great. I mean, what does Karissa think about all this?

I mean, she's against anything that gives me a sense of independence. Yeah. So at first she was not happy about it. And then, you know, I took home a little bit of cash and I took her out to eat Taco Bell Cantina. Oh, the fancy Taco Bell, I love that. Yup, that way you don't have to sneak booze

into the Taco Bell. Right, yes, because they serve it or I haven't been in one. Yeah, it's like Starbucks Reserve. Oh yeah, yeah, I should do Comedy Bang Bang Reserve or something like that, where it's like a better version of this show. Oh, Comedy Bang Bang After Dark. Oh yeah, we always do it during the day.

They can wink and have a Matt Groening boner whenever you want. Yeah, exactly. Like Peach Pit after dark, but it's comedy bang bang. I used to love that because Peach Pit was just the squareest business in the world. It was a 50s diner. And then it turned into the hottest club in Beverly Hills.

In the back. Yeah. And by the way, it was, who used to run it? Nate, was that his name? I don't remember. Oh, let's see. And by the way, it was, who used to run it? Nate, was that his name? I don't remember. Oh, let's see. Whoever the owner was, he was like, oh, I got this, oh, I got this space in the back.

It's like a gorgeous club in Beverly Hills. He just had like diner supplies back there. Yeah. And then they cleaned them out and it turned into the hottest club in Beverly Hills. And by the way, where are these 50s diners in Beverly Hills? I don't think I've ever seen one. They got run out of business.

Aaron Spelling pulled the plug. Yeah, cease and desist. See-so and desisto. You a big fan of see-so? I used to be. Still got the app on my Apple TV. Oh really? It'll kick back to life someday.

And guess what? It'll have technical difficulties. That's right. Well, this is great, Randy. You made some money. Yep, I made some cash. It's a cash only business. So if you want to ride in my limo, just bring some cash,

bring some ideas for karaoke songs that you want to sing. Ideas? What about just like names of them? Of songs? Yeah. You're splitting hairs right now. I just find it funny of like someone coming and going, I've saw a few ideas I want to throw against the wall. Yeah, like maybe something with like music in it, maybe something in 4-4 time. Yeah, I'd be like, you're on the right track. Keep going. Give me the title of a song and I'll plug it in.

There we go. Yo, Bangerz Only. I'm not trying to- You're a right track. Keep going. Give me the title of a song and I'll plug it in. There we go. You know, bangers only. I'm not trying to- You're a bangers only business. A bangers only business. You're a B.O.B. Yeah, absolutely.

Cause I couldn't, you know, I haven't been able to afford like entire catalogs. Right. So I'm just- You're not on the internet on YouTube because you might try that, but I was doing it here at the house and you got to play an ad before every song.

Oh, right. Yeah. No, I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. No. I don't want to, that would weigh people down when they're trying to make their decisions. Do you have CDs or are they downloaded? Yeah, you need to see these notes.

Randy's nuts. They're not on cassettes. Yeah, we have CDs, so it's bangers only. And you know, it's, I mean, it's pretty good. People are, people are pretty pleased with the selection. How many CDs do you have? Probably like 14 CDs. Okay, this is not a lot of songs. You can maybe fit 15 songs on a CD.

Yep. Yeah. Well, Violent Femmes Greatest Hits, that's like 21 songs, I think. There's a whole karaoke CD for Violent Femmes Greatest Hits? Well, it's not the karaoke CD. Is it two tracks?

No, it's actually just the greatest hit CD and I turn it down every time the lyrics pop up. Like a DJ at a club. Like a DJ at a club. When he wants them to sing. Yeah, so it's like, you know what? It's actually just the greatest hit CD and I turn it down every time the lyrics pop up. Like a DJ at a club. Like a DJ at a club. When he wants them to sing. Yeah, so it's like, you know what? Okay, I mean that counts, I would sing along with it.

Yeah, absolutely, you seem like a violent Femmes head. Sure, why not? Cool. Milwaukee's own. In a battle to the death, who would win, violent Femmes or the Bodines? Well, the violent Femmes, I mean, it's all about the branding, you know?

I'd be scared to go up against the violent fems until I met them, you know, but the Bo Deans is like, I don't know. They're probably crystal fascists now. Well, this is great, Randy. I really respect your hustle, your get up and go. Thanks. Ain't no bustle without the hustle. Good point. But how long do you think this is gonna last?

Probably a few months, like most of my other endeavors. Then I'll either get bored or sick of it, or I'll get fired from my own job. How does that happen? How do you get fired from your own thing? I mean, have you ever fired yourself? Absolutely. You just get in a fight with the boss,

a verbal altercation. I eat enough CBD, I'm bound to start talking to myself. If I say something to myself, I'm bound to disagree. You're eating so much CBD that it's having a psychoactive effect on you? I mean, you've been eating from like, I mean, it's just goop, essentially. It looks like a massage oil or something like that

that you've just been chugging right now. Really sticky stuff. I melt down all the CBD gems that I can find. Because most of them don't have more than 0.3% of THC, legally. Right, so you gotta melt them down and separate the THC from the actual gem part of it. You gotta separate it chemically.

Yeah, you gotta keep it separated. Yeah. When I said chemically, I was quoting brain candy by kids in the hall. Oh, you were? Oh, interesting. I didn't realize you were a K-I-T-H fan. Well, I am a K-I-T-H BC fan. Before what?

Brain candy. Brain candy. Oh, that's the only thing you know. Before Christ. Everything they did. Pre-Zero. Pre-Jesus Christ. Well, Randy, this is fantastic. Can you stick around because we have a great guest coming up and I would love for you to stick around and-

I'll stick around for the podcast and I'll stick around afterwards. Oh, for what? Oh, just ask you advice on how to get your feet so clean and hydrated. I mean, when you say hydrated, I mean, they're not wet or anything. Yeah, but they're not flaking.

Okay, do feet in your life tend to flake? In my life? Have you seen my friends? Stu and Amber, yeah, I met them once. Will you finally give me your phone number? I'll send you pictures of my friend's feet after this. I don't think, I don't want to do that. But Randy Snuts is here, his podcast,

Hey Randy is out there on CBB World. We also have Vera Drew, the People's Joker. And coming up, we have someone with an exciting opportunity. So this is, I mean, do you think we'll be excited for them or? Absolutely. Yeah, we'll share in the excitement.

That'll be incredible. Let's do it. Let's bring it on. I can't wait to get this ad break. Because then we'll be beyond the ad break. That will be beyond the ad break. Yeah. All right, so let's do it.

We're gonna all sit here in anticipation of the person's exciting opportunity. We'll have more Vera Drew, we'll have more Randy Snuts. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. No, no, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Yeah.

Comedy Bang Bang, we're back. Vera Drew is here, director of The People's Joker, going to be premiering this Saturday at Outfest and then hopefully in your homes after that at some point where all of America and the world can see it. Yeah, I'm hoping, yeah. I mean, I really do want people to see it in a theater, because I worked really hard on it. And also you want that Nicole Kidman thing to play

in front of it because you were so into her in Batman Forever. Oh, that would be true. Do you have the same kind of thing when you see her going, you know, talking about AMC movies and all that kind of stuff? I, you know, I actually really am, you know, when those ads started, they did kind of give me

some like warm nostalgia pings, but I feel like the like ironic appreciation now has kind of ruined it for a little bit. Everyone enjoyed it ironically to the point where like three weeks ago I was there and people were applauding and then in that three weeks now people are not applauding for it anymore. Like everyone's over it again. Yeah we might see like another cycle of that but yeah. But that would be cool to see it play before your movie. Yeah no, it would it would be it would be it'd be great Especially since we do have a fully CG version of her in in my oh really cool

Have kind of a here's what she looks actually was her name in that movie. Dr. Chase Meridian She's a psychologist fascinated with bats She's a psychologist fascinated with bats. Because that's what psychologists do is they grow fascinated with someone in the animal kingdom. We also have Randy Snuts here. You a fan of Batman? Absolutely. I love Batman.

All the works. I just remembered the other day that Burgess Meredith is the first penguin. Yeah. That's that blew my mind. What reminded you of that? What made you suddenly remember? Were you watching Twilight Zone episodes and suddenly he went,

ra ra ra ra. I was scrolling Twitter and Burgess Meredith was trending. This is weird. He's been dead since 97. What's going on? What was going on? What did you find out?

I have no idea. It was just the new algorithm sucks so much. It was burping out Burgess Meredith. And I was like, oh. And then I saw him with Cesar Romero. I'm like, oh my God, that's right. He was a penguin. Yeah, amazing at it.

I grew up watching the first one. I mean, I like them all, but you're right. It's gotten too dark. Too dark. Let's go back pre-Nolan to Batman having fun. How about Batman in Godspell? Yes. Yeah, that's fun. That could be good, right?

As Jesus or as John the Baptist or? I guess he'd be John the Baptist. Yeah, prepare ye the way of the Lord. Yep, that's something you could bring into the karaoke bus. That's right, I sang that in high school. I played that role in high school and I came from the back of the theater

and I walked down the steps toward the stage. Barefoot? I tried. And then apparently the choreographer who was a former student who was maybe a couple of years out of high school who came back to help out with choreography. I was not there for one rehearsal

and she made fun of the way I walked. It did an impression. It scarred me for life. Oh, Jesus. Wow. Wow, scared the shoes right off you. That's great. Well, yeah, you should absolutely sing that.

I'd be honored if you sang that. I would love that. Let's set that up at some point. How do I get ahold of you? Do I call you or how do people? You can leave a voicemail on my voicemail. We're always taking voicemails. We love our callers, 779-379.

Wait, this is the voicemail from your program to book your Uber? I have to call and you sift through those? Yeah, I sift through those. And hopefully you just give me an address and I pick you up. But it's 779-379. This doesn't seem like the most expedient. Let me get through the number.

Okay, go ahead. I'm trying to promote a show on your Patreon. Okay. Our Patreon, but go ahead. I'm trying to promote a show on your Patreon. Okay. Our Patreon, go ahead. 779-379-2679. I'm just saying it doesn't seem like the most expedient way to book your services.

Oh yeah. Because so many people are calling for your podcast. Well, you could text it as well. Okay. We take texts. You take texts? Uh-huh. So you sift through those to find out who wants to book your your

Uber for a karaoke? Yep, absolutely. Okay, all right. Well, we'll see. Give it a call. Maybe some people, you might get some business after this comes out. I hope we get voicemails pertaining to the podcast, but if I get business too, sure. Okay, great. Well, speaking of business, we have someone who has an exciting opportunity coming up, and he's been on this show once before. Please welcome back to the show Joey Salsa. Thanks for having me. Don't expect me to top that intro. That was fantastic.

I don't expect anyone to top any intro. I mean, I don't even think that intro was all that good. You were on once before. You gave my name, you said the information. I've been here once before. That's true. And I got to say, as a frequent listener this time and the one other time I've been on here, best B block I've heard, best A block.

So wait, you listened to the one episode you were on before. Yeah, you make us sit here before we talk. I don't know if people know that. So- I mean, where else are you going to be? I could be running errands. What kind of errands would you run instead of being here? You give me an estimate of what time I needed to be here and I could walk in.

But no, it was fantastic. I learned the phrase dink, never heard that before. Vera called you a fancy boy in A block, I liked that. You kind of just let it roll right off you. We named it- I didn't take offense to that. No, should I have? No, tone complimentary.

Right, yeah. Based on his feet, how could he not be fancy? We named the look of your boner. It was all fantastic. There was also some musical stuff in there and that is my wheelhouse. That's right. You're a composer, is that right? Yeah, I like to write musicals. My hope is that they're musicals that don't exist. Last time I got burned a little bit by that. Yeah, last time you

came on, I guess you were doing... You got deep into the role of you were writing a musical about Alexander Hamilton and you got very deep into the process where you weren't even looking at phones and you didn't realize that a very popular musical had already come out. Yeah, I was living like Alexander Hamilton at the time. My musical is called Alexander the Great, not the one you're thinking about, Hamilton. And then I started presenting it and you said that a lot of my songs were very similar to the songs. It was very weird because musically they were note for note. And that could be my stepson writes most of my music and he turns these tunes around

real quick. Okay, and he wasn't doing the whole process of not- I'm writing the lyrics and then I give him these lyrics and he just comes and he's like, I got the track. And I'm like, wow. It sounds to me like he's not a writer, he's a guy who bought an instrumental CD of the latest Hamilton. Like, honestly could be.

I tried to, I went home, I tried to talk to him, locked himself in the room for weeks, didn't get, let me get a word in edgewise. But anyway, I realized my mistake was that I'm not Alexander Hamilton. So if I'm writing about- Hold on, your mistake in writing this musical is that you're not Alexander Hamilton? Well, yeah, because what do they always tell you in writing? If you reckon out me here, write what you know. Write what you know. I would have made the same mistake. Right, yeah, so I'm writing about, I was trying to write about things that people might not know about,

but then I was like, no one knows about me. Why don't I start writing about myself? Then it can't be anything that's ever been done before. Okay, well great, yeah. This is actually my life. Every human being has a unique perspective upon this world, so this sounds good. So you've written a musical about your own life?

Yeah, so I was trying to think, what's my best time of my life? When did I really get happy? And I was thinking it was mostly when, for a little while, I would go to small town to small town and I would try to- Why the small town? Why not big towns? Well, after I finished my sentence, you'll figure it out. Because I was trying to scam these people into thinking that I was a music guy and that I would try to get all the kids to buy instruments and then they'd give me all the money and then I would try to get all the kids to buy instruments

and then they'd give me all the money and then I would leave town. And so if it's a big town. This is something you used to do. I loved it. You used to go from town to town as a musical instrument salesman. Loved it, yes.

And they would give you half the money or how much would you take? Would you take all of it? All of it, as much as I can, yeah. Say, hey, come on, don't worry, I know the guy. I know the guy, let me place the order. So they would place the order for these instruments, you would skip town before the instruments

come. So it was amazing. And so then I said, well, let me write a couple of songs about that, you know? I mean, it's a very interesting life. Do you have a song? I do have one. I actually have a few, but why don't we start with the first one? Okay.

So this is based on your life as a traveling salesman or as a traveling con man. Correct. All right. traveling salesman or as a traveling con man. Correct. Alright. 76 trombones led the big parade. That is way too many trombones. There's only 82 kids that are even in the band. Why did everybody pick the flake trombone? Here's my theory why it happened. Randy Johnson picked first and he's a

cool kid so everyone did what he did but now I got so many trombones and I got no flutes or drums and two kids carrying the front the flag they die so now it's mostly trombones and the song doesn't have trombones and what are you gonna do with all the trombones and everything. And if you got a- Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay. Joey Salson. Yeah. First off, I have to say,

when you mentioned the premise of this, the execution can differ. Everyone can have the same idea. There's a lot of parallel thinking in arts, you know? Multiple discovery. Yeah, I'm getting a deep impact. Exactly, but the execution you hope is a little different. And yours is a little different.

Great. Maybe not different enough. I do have to say that the song 76 Trombones exists in a musical with the exact same premise as your life called The Music Man. Oh, okay. Well, mine's called The Instrument Guy. So it's different in that way. Okay.

It is the song all about how there's too many 76s, way too many trombones. No, it's the perfect amount in that. Whoa. They love the fact that there's 76 trombones. In a small town? I know. Yeah. It doesn't make, I mean yours makes more sense.

Way too many trombones. Yeah, okay. It sounds like the thing that doesn't make as much sense is why do you care how many trombones there are because you're not even- Well, that's the one town that I stayed in. So I actually did, actually again, that's kind of more of an ending song, but I want to start strong. That's how the musical ends. Well, I don't exactly remember, but it's pretty close to the end. It's pretty close to the

end, yeah. And so that's me actually leading and I lead the band through it, but then it's pretty close to the end. It's pretty close to the end, yeah. And so it's like, and so that's me actually leading and I lead the band through it. But then it's just- That's when they get their instruments, you stay there and then you- Trombone after trombone after trombone after trombone. Yeah, how many trombones is too many trombones, would you say?

I'd say over four. Yeah. Wait, so, but you had 72 more trombones to sell to this small town. Your inventory must've been pretty big. Yeah, no, well, cause I just do it on Amazon. Right. So once they tell you, once they give me the-

Are you a prime member? Yeah, yeah, I joined. I joined- I thought it was like, it's so expensive. Yeah, just to watch the show. So the title makes sense. You're a third party instrument guy. Right, yeah, exactly.

And so, and again- Did you consider calling it third party instrument guy instead of just the instrument guy? I'm open to that. I'm open, I was trying to go, I thought last time I made the mistake with too many words in my title open, I was trying to go, I thought last time I made the mistake with too many words in my title. So I was trying to go-

What was it the last time the Hamilton one? Alexander the Great, not the one you're thinking of, Hamilton. And so this time I thought I'd just keep it compact. I mean, it definitely tells you what you're in for, the third party instrument guy. I mean, you know he's not a guy who's like out there making the instruments.

Right, yes, absolutely. He's not a guy who carries them around with him. No, no, no. I sometimes do this with my hands, which I know isn't great for podcasts. By the way, Right, yes, absolutely. He's not a guy who carries them around with him. No, no, no. I sometimes do this with my hands, which I know isn't great for podcasts. By the way, yeah, for podcasts, he's like sort of conducting an imaginary orchestra. Conducting, like Tar.

Yeah, exactly. Lydia, or should I say Linda? You a big Tar fan? Yeah, I watched it on an airplane. You a Tar heel? I'm absolutely a Tar heel. I'm one of Dean Smith's boys. I love the movie Tar.

Rest in power, Dean Smith. Anyway. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Well, that's, okay. I think it's a little too close. Okay. It sounds like the same, is your stepson,

your composer still? Cause it also sounds exactly like the music from the- Yeah, it sounds like he just got an instrumental track. Okay. Okay, all right. Sort of like the instrumental tracks that Randy here plays on his... Yeah.

Maybe you could hook up with his... Yeah, I'm also not a music guy. This is all temp audio. If anyone's wondering, I don't think I need to be the star. I'd love to borrow those. Or I'd even reward you handsomely for it. Cause like I said, I mean, almost none of my tracks are instrumental.

Yeah. Oh, fantastic. Yeah, that's like, yeah, I'm here just to make money and stuff. So if that, yeah, if we want to set something up, that'd be awesome. Right. Well, here's some cash in my pocket. Oh, heck yeah.

Thank you. How much did you just give him, Randy? $3. I don't know, that's not, but. For one song, I got some more. So maybe by the end of this, I'll have like $15. Okay, wow, you have five songs? Okay. Yeah.

Well, let's get to the second one then. Well, yeah, so, okay. So there was this one town where this kid, he was a real wiener here for kid You know, but I was trying to sleep with his mom and so I'd hang out with him and he'd always get there Uh, I think it maybe at the end the music all like I'll grab her butt a little bit wink So you so you think that it might happen is now is that a wink like a suggestive wink or is that a wink between? Friends good point that one actually was suggestive, but my shoes will be on so it'll be confusing. Oh the audience So this next one he would always sing about

how much he loved his town, and so this would be, and this one, musicals, I realized, are long. They take forever. And so this song is- To write or to watch? I mean, to both of them, really. They want them to be like a couple hours

because they want intermission, they want to sell drinks. So I had to get- I saw six the other night. It was 90 minutes, no intermission. Well, there you go. I felt a little cheated. Oh, see? And that's my point. And that is exactly my point.

So this song, it's about- It's like a six implies it's going to be six hours. Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking- Turned out it was the number of performers. I was thinking six songs. It's like it could have been either. I thought it'd be the-

Hours, number of performers. The woman from Blossom. Yeah, that's a good point. While we're doing topical Beverly Hills 90210 stuff, let's dip into a Blossom reference. Poor Six. Oh, poor Six. She was an icon and we didn't recognize it.

Hats, she started hats from what I remember. Yeah, she did. She was the first person on TV to wear hats. Yeah, no one was allowed to. It was like, remember the I Love Lucy where they couldn't even go to the bathroom or mention she was pregnant. That's right.

And then like no one was allowed to wear hats until Blossom. And then suddenly like everyone's wearing them, people don't remember it. First toilet was on Leave It To Beaver. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's what Joey said when he saw Six's hat. Yeah. He's like, you can't wear that.

Whoa. That was his catchphrase? His catchphrase was, you can't wear that. You can't wear that. You can't wear that. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. So you have another song. So yeah, and this song I'm gonna have be really long.

I'm thinking like maybe a 45 minute song. 45 minutes, oh, okay, just to pad out. Just to kill up some time, yeah. Yeah, this is number two. All right, here we go. Yep, number two. Yeah, all right, here we go. This is from the instrument, third party instrument guy.

Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome. Also not Buffalo, or Phoenix, or Seattle, or New Zealand, or Madrid, or other cities. Here are some Minneapolis, England, and there is another city that I'll tell you about, and it's not that- Okay, all right, all right, I gotta stop you here. So your plan is to do a 45 minute song where you just name places that are not Gary, Indiana,

even though you've named Gary, Indiana at the very top of the song. Don't tell me that happens in the other one? No, there is a song called Gary, Indiana in the other one. Okay. But it's a point of pride about the little child is very proud to be from Gary, Indiana and sings about its qualities.

Not just what it is not. Oh, okay. This does sound like an interesting, like nihilistic kind of depressing version of the music. Yeah, depressing, boring. Okay, yeah, I did. I mean, those are qualities that I think I connect to. Yeah. Really flips it on its head though when it's just not these other cities you're like dang, there's a lot

of cities that are not like Gary Indiana. Yeah. I would probably around like the, you said that song was 45 minutes long. Yeah. Probably around like minute 30 I'd say Gary Indiana again and be like whoops. Oh right. No. No, it is Gary, Indiana. Yeah, sorry, everyone. Then go back to other cities. Or put a reminder in there. Oh yeah, that's good. I guess a reminder it, I am in Gary, Indiana. And then go back into the knots again.

Absolutely. I mean, to be fair, I guess I didn't realize how many cities there were. I thought there were maybe 20, but it seems like there's a lot. Yeah, and even in my thing, he lists some countries too. Oh, okay. Like which?

Well, not Paris, France, New York. That's not a country. France, Paris, France. Okay, France you got one. And then Louisiana is a state, so it's not just cities, I'm opening it up, I guess. Oh, okay, got it. All right, you have a third song?

Yeah, okay, so this one, this one I think women should learn from men about when to kiss, so I wrote this song. Wait, this is not part of the play? This is just a song you wrote about what you think women should? This is part of the play. It's my friend, he's my sidekick, and he sings about when women should kiss.

Okay, here we go. ["When to Kiss"] Now a woman who kisses on the very first date is usually a hussy, and a woman who kisses on the second time round is anything but fussy. But a woman who waits on the very first date is usually a hussy And a woman who kiss on the second time route is anything but fussy But a woman who waits till the third time round Head in the clouds, feet on the ground She's the girl you glad you found

She's your sh-poopy, sh-poopy, sh-poopy, sh-poopy That girl is not a whore, sh-poopy, sh-poopy Alright, alright, alright It was exactly the same until the chorus. No way, there's no way that a musical about a music man has a character just singing when women should kiss on date. No, no, there is.

Your interest and the original writer, Meredith Wilson, I believe, interest really align. Wow. Incredibly, but the only difference was the original chorus is Chappoopi, Chappoopi, the girl is hard toibly, but the only difference was the original of course is sh-poopy, sh-poopy, the girl is hard to get, not the girl is. Well modernized, I guess. Yeah.

Too modern. Yeah. It's the song choice, the melody itself. Your stepson is fucking you. Right, yeah. Yeah. If it were a different melody, then it would probably be unrecognizable.

Does he give you the melodies first and you write the lyrics to it or vice versa? No, I write the songs. I write the songs and then it just he gives me the song and the tracks, they match up perfectly. I thought it was like Elton John and his writing partner. Bernie Taupin. Right. Yeah. But let much like I let.

You know, if you're going to be a songwriter, you should like learn the names of other songwriters. Well, much like me and my stepson, I don't want anyone to think of my stepson. What's his name? Let's not even get into that. Let's not get into it. No, because then all of a sudden, everyone's gonna be like, oh, where's he getting these songs from?

This guy's a genius. All of a sudden, you know, but then Elton John, me, Joey Salsa, is what it's all about. You're the Elton John in this. Yeah. It's still gonna be about you. Okay.

We're not trying to give your stepson credit. We're trying to give him criticism. Oh, okay. Okay, then his name's Doug. Oh, Doug Salsa? Ah, no, I wish he refuses. You want it? You want him to take your last name?

Yeah, I'd like to. Nothing else has my name, except for, of course, the stuff you dip in. Right, yeah. That's the one thing that shares the name Salsa. Oh, okay, I feel better about it now, yeah. Well, what would it give you if he took your last name? Oh, I guess I-

Feeling of power much like teen on ice? Yeah, it feels like I'd maybe feel as if my life might be worth, you know, I've created something, I left something behind, not just a failure at every attempt I try to create art and I'm failing again and again. This is only your second appearance. Right, well, yeah.

You'll fail many more times. Oh, okay, fantastic, all right, great. You have another song? Well, so, okay, this one. Right, well, yeah. You'll fail many more times. Oh, okay, fantastic. All right, great. You have another song? Well, so, okay, this one wasn't going well, obviously, I can tell. So I will, let me just adjust completely. This is a different time in my life. I was kind of a complicated story.

I was learned music by a nun who came to live with us and have sex with my dad, and she would teach us kind of like- She came there express us and have sex with my dad. And she would teach us kind of like- She came there expressly to have sex with your dad. Yeah, I guess the nunnery was like being really mean to her and like telling her, they would like write songs about how she, I don't know, it was a weirdo or something. And so she came here and then they were like,

I think they were actually trying to do it in a weird way. I think they were winking. This is a different musical? Or this is part of the same, the third party instrument? Yeah, yeah, this is a different one. I'm adjusting. This one isn't fully finished, but I do have this song. So you came here prepared with two musicals.

Well, yeah, and then I do, if I need to adjust again, I can adjust again. Oh, okay. Okay, all right. So what's this song about? Well, this one's about, this is like kinda me learning about how to sing, basically. So this is the song. You're learning how to sing.

She would teach me, and then I would also, this is like my, as a child, this is me learning with my siblings and stuff. So we're all, we're all singing. All right. This. So a deer, a female deer, ray, a drop of golden sun. Me a man looking for Russia poopy.

And girls, they always kiss too soon. So I tell them they're a slut or I'll tell them they're a whore. I can't bring you to meet my mom. It's the third date when you kiss. Duh, duh, duh, dumb. You slut. You dumb.

All right, all right, I have to stop. I don't like that kind of talk. Okay, fair. On this program or any other. The deer? No, no. How dare you bring animals under this? The shaming of, that kind of language is not,

it's not for pleasant conversation. Did somebody hurt you or? Oh, good, great question. What happened? Well, that was actually, what I was trying to do on that one was I was gonna show you as a child and then how I change. Like that's, so that's me as a child thinking.

Those are child thoughts. But what happened to you personally to give you this sense that women should kiss on the third date and if they don't, they need to be denigrated like that? Well, I think that's just the perfect time to kiss. Based on what? You have a wife because you have a step son, right?

Well, I guess maybe here's what we're not gonna understand. It's like, I'm a man and I think that I know what's best for women. Is that, am I not getting that across? No, that comes across. That's part of it, yeah, it's very clear. Well, yeah, maybe it's my dad used to whistle. He used to have a whistle and we'd all line up and then.

Line up to do what? To just be inspected or to sing. Oh, I see. I thought you meant to take turns on the whistle. Oh, no, we'd never get to whistle. There's a lot of patterns here. I wish we could whistle. I wish we could whistle. But okay, I'll just do one more

because maybe I'm not representing myself. You brought two more tracks. Okay, well. You're just gonna do one? Well, I'll do one and then you can decide. We'll call the audible? All right, what's this next one? Now this is to show you how I've grown as a human.

This is much later in the musical. Much later in life. I was living in New York City and I lived in this place at the first of the month. The guy who owned the building always wanted me to pay money. And I hated to do that. I hated giving him money. I hated giving him money on the first of the month. And so this is a song just about how I hated giving this guy money at the first of the month. And so you got to understand, this is me in New York City with all my friends. No, I understand all of this.

It seems like you're family. 525,600 minutes. 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes. That is too long to wait to be my ship poopy. It's the third date. It's the third date. I cannot make this clear.

You waited a full year. Oh no, I don't say any of this. I don't say any of that. But no, it's good stuff. It was a good stuff. Don't, don't, don't, don't. What, so you didn't denigrate women in that one? Well, no, cause this time they waited too long, I think.

They waited a full year. And I think that is, I think we can all agree. If you wait. What if the dates only come like one every four months? Oh. Then it would be the third date. But it would be a full calendar. That is perfect.

I think I gotta add a second. I gotta add a second. You gotta add a second verse. Or it's explained. That's from a, no, that's from a different musical already. All of these are from a different one. No, no, no, this is from a different one that also exists named by the name of Rent.

Ah. Doug fucked you again, man. Yeah. What does your wife say about all this? Because you're actually like, you're being deceived by your stepson. What's your wife's name? Well, would you believe it

if I actually don't have a shoo poopy? What? What? You have a stepson without a shoo poopy? Yeah. I, uh. What happened to the shoo poopy? I, well, I started talking about some of my beliefs about other people. You know, she'd introduce me to her friend, she'd say, have you met Carolyn Brand?

And they started dating. And then I found out that sometimes they would kiss on the first date and I'd be just horrific to them the entire time they were over. And so, uh out that sometimes they would kiss on the first date and I'd be just horrific to them the entire time they were over. And so she eventually, yeah, she eventually, she left. She left. But she also left. Yeah, you got full custody of Doug.

Well, cause the game system set up in his room. He was just used to that. So he didn't wanna. Oh, I see. You know kids these days, they're always playing their games. They love their gaming. What gaming system is he onto? I think Twitch, Switch. He's playing, he's playing. He. They love their gaming. What gaming system is he onto? I think Twitch.

Switch? He's playing, he's playing. He's playing Switch on Twitch? Yeah, he watches, he watches Switch on Twitch. Yeah. He just watches it. Yeah, he's not even playing. So when you say the gaming system, it's a TV?

Yeah, he could go anywhere. He puts it in CPU mode and demo mode and he watches it on Twitch. That's right. Yeah. Gotta get Doug in here. Sounds like an interesting. Yeah, can Doug come? Doug Salsa? Okay, yeah, yeah. Or Doug whatever his's right. Yeah. Gotta get Doug in here. It sounds like an interesting. Yeah.

Can Doug come? Doug Salsa? Okay, yeah. Or Doug whatever his name is. Yeah. I would love to talk to him at some point. Sure. Fantastic.

Cause honestly, like these songs have been a bust. Okay. I, you know, if truly this is parallel thinking. Right. I have to say it's really impressive that you keep hitting on these things that are very, very popular with minor slight alterations, but- I'll take, I heard a couple of positive words in there, so I'm willing to take those.

Yeah, minor, slight. Yeah. I would love to hear a song that's just about how you, the positive things about kissing on the third date. Yeah. What do you like about kissing on the third date? What feels good about it? Is it the anticipation, the buildup?

I've had two dates that went well. We know each other now. We're not kissing just to kiss. We actually want to. If we waited for the fourth date, of course, then there'd be too much pressure on that fourth date. Right. Because then it's like, well, we haven't kissed.

Are we friends or are we not? And a full year. And a full year. I mean, don't even get me started. Of course, asterisk, unless it's once every four months, like you busted me on. But otherwise, yeah, once every... Always looking for that technicality.

Yeah, sorry. The loophole. I do have one final song It's about do you know? We can always save it but it no no I would why save it when we can spend it right now and never talk about it Ever again. Yeah, so this actually is well when my wife was leaving. I was texting you can start you can hit six Oh, I can oh I can play. Yeah, you so much I put a hat on. So I was texting

with my wife's sister and then she texted me something and because of where the comma was placed, because of where the comma was placed, I figured maybe she actually likes me and maybe she was trying to date me. And so this is a song. I wanna fuck, I wanna suck, I wanna fuck him. I wanna fuck, I wanna suck, I wanna fuck him I wanna fuck, I wanna suck, I wanna fuck him I wanna take down my pantaloons and put my butt in the air And put his butt next to my blower Butt bubble, I invented that Yeah, we invented two butts

I'm making a bubble And fucking sucking And I want to fucking suck him I wanna fucking suck him That's what I wanna to do to him. It would be nice and the bubba bubba don't forget I invented that. And here's the part where I act it out.

Please don't act it out. Oh God. Oh Jesus. Okay. Bloop, bloop, bloop. Stop, Joey, you sang this last time. Yeah. Did you forget? No, I just, I liked that one.

That's a banger. You can sing that one in my boss. Oh, heck yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay. All right, so I made $3 and I got a gig. Well, I'll give you some more cash for that one. Two more dollars, $5 and a gig. Yeah. Wow.

Well, Joey, look, I would wish you luck, but I don't want you to have luck because I don't want someone like you to succeed. Okay. I get it. You know, not a- A new boundary drawing for Scott. All right, we're running out of time.

We only have time for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called Plugs. I am sitting in the morning listening to the podcast. I am waiting for Scott Ackerman to open up the plug bag and he opens it only halfway but then opens it fully and we're hearing all the plugs the guests have to share. I have a feeling someone watching me and so I raise my head. There's a man on the outside looking inside.

Does he see me? No he doesn't really see me cause he sees his own reflection I love how original this song is Scott Ackerman Hey Scott, Scott, I'm listening to Comedy Bang Bang right now Scott, I'm a piss pig as well Scott, Scott Hey can I get some more coffee over here?

That's for my other show Fill this up halfway then start talking to another customer Come on, Tom. You gotta do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do your job. Okay, thank gosh. Wow, that was Plugs Diner by Michael Muto, or Muto, not sure, but. This might be one of your most musical episodes

of all time. It truly is, yeah. I mean, from the comedy bang bang theme to that. The singing earlier, my song. Maybe we should, is there a way to get this out? I wasn't gonna include that, but yeah. Oh we should, is there a way to get this out? I wasn't gonna include that, but yeah. Oh, okay, okay.

Okay, okay. You want a soundtrack put out? Is that what your angle is for? No, I was wondering if there's a way that we could like advertise to music lovers that this is the episode to check out. Like, can we somehow get this in the broad, is there like a Broadway museum or something?

No. There should be a Broadway museum where they have like Broadway theaters in there. Yeah. Like a song's hall of fame. Songs only. Songs only. Songs only. So there would be one wing that's just for songs only?

Yeah, what? No, the whole hall of fame is for songs. Just for songs. Yeah, just for songs. So you walk in and you just hear the songs? Cause then it could be a small museum. It's a fucking mess. All the songs at once.

People would go crazy and they'd run out, but they have to pay admission first. Maybe we open it next to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Then if you can't get in or if you want to go to another one, you come over to Songs, make a little bit of money on the top. You guys are really on the same wavelength. You get the overflow. Yeah.

Seems to me like you're getting excited by this idea and you might abandon the limo idea. Absolutely no. Okay. Sorry. No way. It's all bangers. Everything's going great.

Joey's going to join me in the limo. It's going to be fantastic. Okay. No way. It's all bangers. Everything's going great. You know, Joey's going to join me in the limo. It's going to be fantastic. Okay. All right. I don't understand these new boundaries, Scott. What new boundaries? Look, I want you to succeed, Randy. Oh, thank you. If you're happy. But you want Joey to fail. Yes, I want Joey to fail. All right. Let's plug things.

Vera, what do you have to plug? Obviously, the People's Joker is coming out. How do people get tickets for this? On the Outfest website, I will say it's a very confusing website. Okay. But yeah, follow- What's confusing about it? The way like-

I'd say, I describe it as top heavy. It was just a lot of links and a lot of- I sort of like that. Yeah, I mean, I think it could be complimentary in other contexts, I guess. Top heavy bottom feeder right here. If you Google- So when it applies to a woman, it's be complimentary in other contexts, I guess. But every bottom feeder right here. If you Google. So when it applies to a woman, it's great, but a website, it's bad.

What are we even doing? Joey, you should write a song about that. I'm already down. Yeah. Um, just follow me on Twitter, VeerDrew22. Yeah, you'll you'll direct everyone there. Anything else happening for you that you want to plug? This is your plug time. Um, no, I mean, I I I've yeah, just Anything else happening for you that you want to plug? This is your plug time.

No, I mean, I... Yeah, just be on the lookout for the people's Joker, hopefully. Be constantly vigilant. Yeah. And bother James Gunn. Wake up nervous. Like, tell James Gunn to not sue me. I'm sure he won't. He's pretty chill about these things.

Again, that's a pun. Yes. Based upon my character, Mr. Freeze. You're still in character. I know. I've never he won't. He's pretty chill about these things. Again, that's a pun based upon my character, Mr. Freeze. You're still in character. I've never left. Yeah, surprised you. It was like two years ago you contacted me and I recorded this for 60 seconds on my phone.

I'm hoping for a theatrical release, obviously. I love the magic of the theater, just like Nicole Kidman. I think that's when the Venn diagram- The corporate feels good in a place like that. Absolutely. The Venn diagram of me and Nicole Kidman is, we like movies. Right.

And nothing else. Have you ever been to Australia? Have you ever been to Australia? Oh, okay. Great. Is there a VOD release plan? There will be. I'm very confident about the VOD release plan.

The thing we're holding out for is theatrical and that has been the kind of big sticking point. But I can't get into the specifics, but I do have people smarter than me, hopefully, helping us put together an art house run the end of this year or sometime early next year. How about December 25th? That's a great day.

Yeah. Perfect time for a third date too. Oh, shh. Right at the end of the year. Right at for a third date too. Oh. Yeah. Right at the end of the year. Right at the end of the year. Randy, what do you want to plug? I'll plug season three of Righteous Gemstones on HBO.

That's right. It's out now. At Stream on Max. Yeah, sure. I don't know what that means, but okay. That's an Instagram handle. Check it out. Yeah, so that's coming out right now.

Catch up on that. Shrink is streaming on Peacock. I believe it's been extended for another 12 months, which is great. Oh, that's wonderful. And what else? I think I have plans to put out the hentai zine that I made for you. Oh, great. Oh, you do? Limited release, maybe a little sale for charity. That's right. You were at our live show in Los Angeles and you made a little hentai magazine for me. I did, yeah. And since then, I still have no idea what hentai is. Sure. Yep. I think there's something up in the sky. It's a bat signal that says bullshit.

I think I mentioned it to Cool Up and I said, is it this? And she said, not really. And Joey Salza, what do you want to plug? First, I'll get to the bottom of that hentai mystery for you and I'll, is it this? And she said, well, not really. But, and Joey Sal said, what do you want to plug? First, I'll get to the bottom of that hentai mystery for you and I'll come right back. I'll text you, I'll call whatever works for you. Sure, hentai musical. Yeah, I've been, if you're in LA, you can watch Holy Shit Improv Live.
