Hey everyone, this is Scott Ackerman, and welcome to another bonus bang,
where we are re-releasing great episodes of Comedy Bang Bang out from behind the paywall.
And we are, of course, in the middle, tail end.
I'm not quite sure of a series that we're calling Just the Facts, ma'am,
where we are showcasing episodes featuring the Hollywood Facts segment.
Of course, the Hollywood Facts segment was performed by Andy Samburg of Digman,
who, you know him from S&L and the Lolly.
Island, but Digman is his series with Neil Campbell, which just came out on Netflix, both seasons
streaming right now. And this episode is called You Got Predicted. It was originally released on
August 24th, 2015 as episode 371. First up we have, you know them as Wild Horses, the group,
Stephanie Allen, Mary Holland, Lauren Lapkis, and Aaron Whitehead. They are playing a team of psychic sisters,
known as the Flagen Sisters.
And then we have Jermaine Clement.
Of course, half of the comedy duo
Flight of the Concords,
good friend of the show.
Since this episode, when I say good friend of the show,
he's done it once or twice,
but a very nice guy who seemed to love it.
Anyway, since the episode came out,
he's been in Moana and the Lego Batman movie,
Despicable Me,
Avatar the Way of Water,
what we do in the shadows, of course.
Now, if you enjoy this episode and you want to hear other great episodes of Comedy Bang Bang
as well as other shows like CBB Presents and Scott hasn't seen The Neighborhood Listen,
College Town, become a subscriber at CBBWorld.com.
We have all of the past episodes from the CBB archives.
Every single live episode we've ever done, add free new episodes,
even more original shows.
The crisis on infinite bang bangs is happening.
We're going to be back Monday with a new episode of Comedy Bang Bang,
But until then, enjoy this bonus bang.
Don't keep the change.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Thank you so much, Sinosure.
Sino Sure for that wonderful catchphrase submission.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week.
Oh, my gosh.
We're in the dog days of Augie Doggy.
Boy, the heat waves gripping the nation.
That's sort of ten amount to a CBB weather report.
Heat waves gripping the nation.
So I hope that helps you out whenever you're listening to this.
But we are in the doggie-doggy-dye days of Augy-Doggy.
and but what a wonderful week it is.
And by the way, I want to say thank you so much to everyone for downloading the Howl app and visiting it on the desktop browser, the Howl.fm.
It's people are really enjoying the new content that's up there.
And that's the thing.
We need more content in the world.
As well as we need, we of course need the content erasers as well as the content creators.
For every creator, there should be an eraser.
So hopefully that's equally.
out. But thankfully, we have some great new content over there, so check it out. And we're going to
talk to some people, I believe, who have shows up there or maybe coming up there very soon.
And by the way, my name is Scott Ackerman. Hello. Welcome to the show. And we have some really,
really interesting guests here for today. We have Jermaine Clement. I started saying that
before I was ready to. Jimane Clement, or Clement. Germain Clement. Jimane Clement is here a little bit
later. He's going to step in in our next segment from the flight of the concords or just flight
of the concords. I really need my information before I start talking. Oh, God. Well, it's the
Doggy Days of Augie Doggy. That's the bit, I mean, we can attribute it to that, certainly.
And speaking of people, Jermaine certainly counts as one. We have our first guests are four people
and four completely different human beings, although I believe they all have a common trade amongst
them, which is that they are sisters to each other? Or are they sisters to other people? We will
definitely find that out. And I don't have their last names, but what are your last names, by the way?
Flaggin. Flagon. Flagon. So the...
Flagon. Flagon. I'm sorry, but what did you say? You said flagon. I said floggin.
Flagon. But you have a speech impediment, so... Oh, so it's floggin?
Flagon. Flagon. Flagon. Flagon.
Like flagging.
Like flagging. Or flagging them down.
Is it a flagging them down? So it's not like Fagin, but with an L.
We don't like that musical.
Okay. You don't, so, I mean, that wouldn't affect anyone's last name, certainly.
The disliking a musical or not like liking a musical would certainly have no effect on the whatever you're born into.
I mean, you could have.
change, no?
What you're born into really affects more what you like.
Okay, all right, but so what is the official last name that I'm supposed to call you?
Flaggin.
Flaggin.
Flagon.
Jesus.
Flagon.
Jesus Christ.
All right, we'll find this out.
Anyway, their sisters, please welcome to the show.
Can you guys do that to each other?
Welcome.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Welcome to the show.
Go ahead and introduce yourself individually, starting over here.
Who are you, ma'am?
I'm Juniper Flagen.
Juniper Flagen, all right, and ma'am?
I'm Pianney Floggin.
Okay, great.
I'm Hyacinth Fagin.
Highest and Fagin.
Who are you, ma'am?
Shrub, flagon.
Shrub, flagging.
Okay.
So now are you related to each other because some of you are Flagin, some of you are flagging.
Yes.
Yeah.
So, okay.
We are related.
Blood relatives.
Same mother, same papa.
Different pronunciation.
Okay, all right. Does your mother pronounce it one way and the father pronounced it another way? I knew I had neighbors like that, where the wife pronounced their last name one way and...
Well, Papa says flag in. Okay. And Mama only speaks in symbols. Symbols, meaning like emojis? Wingdings. Wingings.
Wingings, triangles. Yeah. Hand motion. Wendings, the original emoji.
Mm-hmm. Does she have some sort of impediment? Is she a...
akin to a Helen Keller or...
Oh, no, it's a gift.
It's a gift.
She's transcended language, wouldn't you say?
I would.
But did an accident help her transcend?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There are no accidents.
Oh, wow.
You believe in predestination.
This is true.
She called it upon herself.
She had tried to see it.
She knew it was coming.
She didn't avoid it.
My first premonition was...
I was in the womb.
Your first permanent...
Wait.
When we all knew.
Hold on.
You all knew.
Wait.
What?
Yep.
That's when we all know.
Because that was that.
Yeah.
And it was everything.
You all knew.
You all knew.
You all knew.
But the accident was going to happen.
It wasn't an accident.
That the moment was going to happen.
The moment was going to happen.
You all knew this.
Yeah.
Everybody saw.
Okay.
I guess I didn't get this on my notes.
Are you trying to say that you have some sort of precognitive abilities?
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Good calm.
Oh, yeah.
The four of us, psychic abilities.
We travel together in a carnival.
You do.
Which carnival is this?
Is this one of the more established ones?
Apple bottom jeans with the stripes.
It's the apple bottom jeans with the stripes carnival.
The Times have stripes.
Okay.
Great.
And the boots with the fur.
The boots.
That's part of this?
Yeah.
Is that part of the type title?
Big apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur.
Okay, that's the subtitle.
So the big is a subtitle or a pre-title maybe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then apple bottom jeans.
Yep.
Yeah.
Okay, got it.
And then boots with the fur.
So you're just in.
town for a little bit? Is that how I was able to land you?
We're passing through, but we knew you'd want us here.
I guess you do have psychic abilities because I'm enjoying this.
We're touring around California. We're kind of hitting up all the big spots up on the coast.
You know. Tustin.
Tustin.
Fresno.
Davis.
Fresno's not on the coast. I hope you know that. I hope you don't go to Fresno expecting a beach there.
Well, maybe there isn't a beach yet, but there could be one soon.
Are you saying that the big one is going to strike and half of California is going to fall into the ocean?
I don't want to scare anybody, but something might happen that puts Fresno on the coast.
Oh, my God.
What's going to happen here in Los Angeles?
Oh, gosh.
I don't, I really don't, you know, we're not supposed to get dark.
You know, don't put us on the spot like this.
I can say, you don't have the same responsibilities that the others do?
Juniper doesn't mind.
I don't have a lawyer.
So everything I do is kind of on my own.
Oh, okay.
Well, what's going to happen?
Everything's going to collapse, death upon all.
That kind of thing.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know, I feel.
Just loosely.
I feel pretty good being here with you because wherever you are, you'll probably be safe because
you know what's going to happen, right?
Exactly.
It doesn't mean we can stop it.
We can just be like, hey, this is going to happen.
And I'm not going to be in town while it happens.
Well, I mean, you got to be able to afford a plane ticket or a train ticket or a boat ticket
or a car.
You could walk.
If you can rent a car, then you start walking now, you'll be far away by the time this
happens.
That's all we're going to say about that.
By the time you get to Fresno, though, something will have happened.
Well
It'll make it a beach town
Yes
But it'll be enjoyable by the time we get there
Okay so people will have acclimated to it a little bit
They'll have set up on the beach
Yeah it'll have acclimated or sunk
Someone will have a sudden
Incredibly valuable property
Yes
On the beach
Or a sudden incredible death
And either one will make beachfront property
For the rest of us
Things will open up
Okay great
Okay well so maybe to be safe
People should follow this carnival around
Because
Oh a promotion
That would be right.
If you guys could follow us.
And the show's different every night because we talk to different people in the audience and we predict their futures.
And so you'll hear different stuff.
Yeah.
The thing about us, too, is that we can't make any predictions without each other.
Oh, no.
So we can't, you know, because I see one part of the future.
And, you know, shrubs, he's a totally different part.
Okay.
So it's like a puzzle you need to fit it together in order to get it.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
So describe what you do on state.
and then maybe you could, you know, do a little bit of it here.
But how exactly does your act work?
Well, someone stands up who's desperate and sad.
Needs attention.
Is that, that's, do you take a poll before the show of who is the most desperate or sad?
Most people who volunteer in the audience are desperate and sad.
I found that to be true.
So we'll then start at the beginning and go down the line with information that we can see creating a story from beginning to end.
And we're always correct.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
We've never had anyone come back and tell us we weren't.
No.
But we have just moved town, so they haven't had the opportunity.
How does anyone get any entertainment value out of this if you just predict what's going to happen
and then we don't see what's going to happen and you move on to another town and then people
come back to you?
Well, we give them a little taste of what might be going on currently so they get that it's real.
Okay.
Do you want a reading?
Yeah, I would love one.
Yeah.
How do we do it?
All right.
Well, peony starts.
Peony, you didn't seem that psyched about it.
We'll do it.
You know what I mean?
You came on the show trying to promote your thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would think you'd be, all right.
All right, what do I need to do here?
P and he always starts and then it goes in a circle order.
All right. Yeah, I go first.
Okay, so what's your name?
Don't you know that or do I, this is part of the show?
Yes, I know.
We're doing the show.
We need to hear the whole name.
Oh, okay, so this is, I'm going to pretend there's an audience.
Yeah, there's a big crowd in a big tent.
Oh, man.
Apple bottom jeans.
hanging over your head.
Should I picture everyone naked?
I'm a little nervous here.
Can you have your guy make this a bunch of claps?
Oh, yeah.
Well, that'll probably suffice.
Okay.
Okay.
My name is Scott.
Hello.
Okay.
Hey, Scott.
Welcome.
Thanks so much for volunteering.
I'm desperate and I'm sad.
We knew it.
Yeah.
Thing, you're doing a great job.
Thank you.
By the way, I actually am.
Oh, even better.
Yeah.
Let me tell you a little.
about yourself, Scott. You are a male. Yep. That's, I can just tell genders pretty much.
Okay. Well, I mean, that could be helpful in society these days. I gotta tell you.
She's never been wrong. She's never been wrong. How do you do it? Do you do it just from psychic abilities,
or do you look at their clothes and their body shape? I look, I mostly, I take a peek at like where the
genitals are in the pants, and then I can engage. I'm getting something.
You got to go to Shreb.
You want more.
More of so many things.
Is there something that you're seeing that I want more of?
I stop there.
Oh, you stop there.
Okay, so we need someone else to step in.
Okay, okay.
Juniper.
You're having trouble with a person in your life who you work with or in your family or someone you're close with.
Why are you looking at engineer Ryan right now?
You're having a problem with someone who has a, who's figuring stuff out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ryan is a male.
Okay, good.
That's a good addition.
Thank you.
And you need to figure that out quickly before it goes badly.
Okay.
All right.
So I have a problem with Ryan.
Okay.
You said that, but I, yes.
Okay.
And that's all you're going to give me?
Yes.
Okay.
Do we go to?
High ascent.
High ascent over here?
Yes.
Hi.
A synth?
I bet you get that all the time.
I've never gotten that.
What?
No.
We've never met anyone who's a comedian.
Never.
Never.
Just sad, desperate people.
Not like comedians at all.
I can't tell a joke for money.
That's right.
All right.
Oh, oh, I feel.
A vibe is coming over me.
A vibe is coming over me and you don't like spiders in your home.
Oh.
No, I mean, yeah.
Unless they're in a corner and they might catch a bug,
but if a spider walks across the ceiling and seems like it might land on you,
you don't like that.
Am I right, Scott?
Is that accurate?
Yikes, but that is accurate.
I do not like spiders in my home.
The spider represents the woman.
Oh, you don't like women walking over the ceiling and dropping down on you.
Unless they're eating bugs in a corner?
Oh, men are so successful.
Oh, you hate women.
You hate women.
We found out.
You don't like them.
You don't respect them.
Wow.
You prefer them in corners.
You want more men.
No, guys, guys, guys, I think you're getting the wrong idea about things here.
I perfectly respect women.
You want to hug a man.
The legs on a spider represent the many men you want in your life.
You are male and you want male.
Eight men.
Eight men.
With a hundred babies.
So, 800 men hugging you.
Wait, the eight men have 100 babies between them?
Thank you so much.
Eight spider babies.
There are 100 babies.
They're all male and you want them all of them.
Okay. I feel like you guys are giving me the wrong idea to my audience about exactly what my point of view is.
It's not the wrong idea.
Just incorrect.
This is 2015.
If you can't admit that you don't love male spiders hugging you, then there's something really wrong.
Wait, but the spiders represent men in general?
Spiders represent women, but their legs represent the men that you want.
I think they're very dicks.
You're desperate.
I don't think spiders have dicks.
The legs.
Oh, yeah, they do.
Oh, you don't?
Oh, you don't?
Have you expected one?
Okay.
All right.
Maybe I've looked at a covert.
One or two spiders trying to see if a spider has a dick, but so what?
They have a trap door.
You can't just see it.
You can't just see it.
You can't just see it.
You would never see that.
Picture a spider.
Do you picture a dick on it?
I mean, I can picture that little protuberance where webs come out.
Of course you can't tuburants.
Okay, all right.
You were the ones who told me to picture a spider.
Can you picture this? Can you picture a spider with a long penis as long as a leg? You think it's a leg, but it's...
As long as one of its leg or a human leg?
And it has seven more of them. Whatever you can picture. Tell me. What do you picture?
I can picture a spider with a long penis as long as a human's leg.
You can? What?
Hey, this is a trap.
We were absolutely right. This is a trap.
Oh, really?
Disgusting. And so quickly, this is the act? This is what you guys do?
Well, it's different every time.
Yeah, it's never, I can't say because you're not in the audience.
Get a lot of applause.
Wait, people would be applauding right now is you shame me?
They'd be going bananas.
I feel like at this point I would strongly disagree with you and maybe step off stage.
Well, that's your fear.
You'd be giving you a free t-shirt and a free caramel corn packet and you'd be fine.
There's a free t-shirt involved?
Of course.
Of what?
And a packet of caramel corn.
And the act.
The t-shirt, yeah, the t-shirt, it says, you got predicted.
and it has the four of us.
You got predicted.
But yours would say you got predicted.
To clarify, there's no stage.
And the back jump off of.
You would have made this T-shirt in advance based on your psychic ability.
We knew what you were going to say.
And the back of the shirt is the back of our heads as if we're standing behind you.
And someone sees it from behind us.
Okay.
This is a very complicated T-shirt.
Why would I ever wear this?
Because you're proud.
It's American Apparel.
It's comfy.
And you're proud that you got picked out of an audience, you desperate, sad person.
Okay.
I feel like this was an insult party more than...
Is that what people enjoy from you?
No, I mean, I was saying we're always saying we're always...
It's like going to see Don Rickles here.
Oh, yes.
Oh, that sounds right.
Yeah, we do that.
Who of us is so brave?
Who feels...
Who's the most sad and desperate out of you?
Yeah, who's sad and desperate today?
I think shrub is.
Yeah, shrub probably.
All right.
All right, take it, Pianney.
All right.
already, already roo.
Shrub.
You are a female.
Yes.
Already on the money.
Every time.
Wow, I mean, it's, yeah.
I'm next.
You're having an issue with someone
from your work close to you
or in your family.
That's exactly what you said about.
Interesting.
Whoa, sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Someone in your family or someone you work with.
Yes.
Someone in your family.
Yes.
Yes.
And you need to figure that out or it will go badly.
Oh.
Is it someone in your family?
Is it someone in your family?
Is it someone in your family?
Is it someone in this room?
Yeah.
Oh.
I know.
Okay, I'm not a member of your family.
Engineering Ryan is not a member of your family.
Ryan is a male.
I don't.
Thank you.
I don't know if we necessarily need to get into this.
Who goes next?
Is it?
Who is it?
I'm sensing something.
Uh-oh.
I'm sensing that's,
Somebody in this room slept with your ex-husband on a sad, drunken night, meaning nothing of it.
Was that not the person?
Never mind.
I'm sensing.
Never mind.
I'm sensing something else.
Hioscent.
What?
What?
What the fuck are you confessing?
Which you munnive all know.
Sluts did that.
Whoa, whoa.
What?
Fucking whores.
Whore bags.
Wait a goddamn second.
I knew that would.
be her reaction. I would never sleep with your husband. I did. So Hyacinth, you're the one who slept with
her husband? I didn't know, I didn't ask your marital status before the show. I guess that's a common
question. Well, it's her ex-husband. We're all divorced. You're all divorced? Multiple times.
Oh, how many apiece? Well, three for me. Ten. Ten. Yeah. One. One? And shrub?
Three and a half? Three, oh, you're in the midst of one? I was in the midst when he died.
It'll never be completed. Okay. I'm so sorry. That's
It's a shame that you didn't get your divorce completed before he died.
That's a real book.
Did you get his money?
I got his life insurance, which kind of worked out more than what I would have gotten now.
It sort of softened the blow.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm so sorry.
You're getting divorced, so it wasn't that sad.
Yeah.
So wait, but you slept with, which one did you sleep with of shrubs?
Not the dead one.
That would have been really wrong.
The one before that.
Terrence?
Terrence.
Terrence?
Terrence.
Terrence.
Terrence.
What's his name?
Terrence Howard.
Howard.
Terrence Howard from Empire?
It was before he got that.
It was before he got on the show.
He never would have been a better.
After he got so big.
Wait, was he in Hustle and Flow already?
No, that was before that.
No, that was way before Hustle.
Iron Man won?
No, before any success.
He wasn't even an actor yet.
He wasn't even an actor.
No.
And he fell right into that, so luckily.
That's right.
You two were married before all that happened when you were what?
14.
Terence Howard married someone when you were 14.
See, oh my gosh, this is amazing.
Well, it's Terrence Howard.
What are you going to say?
That's true.
And then I meet your soulmate.
Yeah.
What?
Wait, but he's your soulmate, but you divorced him?
Soulmate's end.
It's like you don't get how stars work.
I'm sorry.
We were both feeling sad, and I was only 15.
Wait, how old are, wait, so you were 15 as well?
Are you guys twins or are you?
Well, she was 14.
Oh, I see.
So you're a year older.
We're all Irish twins.
We're all.
Irish fraternal twins
10 months, 10 months, 10 months, 10 months, 10 months
10 months, 10 months, 10 months, 10 months,
10 months, time, time, time,
Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tomas.
So you were 14, you were 15,
or are you guys older or younger over here?
Yes.
Yeah.
Younger?
What?
I'm older, I'm the oldest.
I'm the oldest.
I was 16 when this went down.
I'm the baby.
You must have been 13, of course.
So you're 14
You'd think I'd be the youngest since I got shrub
But
They thought you were the last
They thought of another name on the fourth
That was a little better
So
So you're married to Terrence Howard
You're 14 years old
Meanwhile you're 15
Are you guys in high school
Well we were traveling at the time
You're part of the carnival still?
We were taught by our mother
We were in the carnival circuit
What did she do?
Well
She
She clicked her tongue at us
And tightroped
Yep. She flicked her tongue and tightrope.
Clicked her tongue. And she flicked it a few times at us.
If she was man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She mostly taught, you know, she was up on wing.
She was up doing wing dings on a type rope.
On a type rope? Well, she got up on that type rope and do wing digs.
And flicked her tongue?
Flick her tongue a little bit. Watch her tongue like a snake.
That gives me a complete picture of what she did.
Yeah.
So is Terrence following the carnival around?
Probably on Twitter.
Wait, how long ago was this?
Twitter's been around for a lot.
Oh.
Are you guys?
Well, we knew Twitter was coming.
So in a sense, the fact that he was following us physically, we thought, well, if this was Twitter.
This is kind of like Twitter.
We got all the best accounts.
This is kind of like that invention that's going to come out soon.
We got all the best accounts on Twitter because we knew it was coming.
So the second is.
Why?
What's your account?
Twitter.
Wow.
Your Twitter?
Wait.
Is one of you Barack Obama?
That's me.
So one of you is POTUS, one of you is Twitter.
What are your other Twitter?
I'm rumor Willis.
Okay, I don't know whether you really struck gold with that one.
And what are you sure?
Ashton Fitcher.
Oh, okay.
Rumer's going to pair off.
Is that why he had to be A plus K?
Okay.
He couldn't get his name.
Yeah, interesting.
Okay, so, wow, this is incredible.
I can't believe I didn't know about this.
I can't believe this happened.
All those years ago, we never knew.
Did I create a blind spot?
Have my psychic got?
abilities and enabled me to create a blind spot.
Why do you have an invisibility cloak?
Why do you have such a theory ready for this?
So readily available.
Well, I mean, it was just a blind guess.
But perhaps somebody went into a shop in one of the towns we were in and investigated in some dark magics.
You did?
Well, I said somebody did.
Four sisters.
Never shall they go dark.
Which!
Witch!
Is that your...
That's your lone edition?
She's a witch.
Oh, okay.
What I have to ask, are psychic abilities, are they magic?
Is that what you're trying to?
I thought they were just some sort of genetic thing.
I think they're mostly genetic, but I have been exploring the world of magic.
So this is like extrasensory perception genetically mixed with magic.
That's what a combination.
Yes, we can predict everything.
We were all born with calls on our faces.
Do you know what that is?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
It's a membrane of skin over your face.
And when you're born with it, you consider to have like,
psychic abilities.
We all had calls on our faces and then basically, you know, now was that.
And then...
They had to drain him.
By the way, you're sitting back in your easy chair right now.
You put your feet up.
I really appreciate that.
You're getting comfortable.
Anyway, and then that's how it all started.
But, you know...
Relax for a bit.
It's okay.
You know, this could be a stressful...
Yeah.
Okay.
So anyway, but magic, we always swore to each other.
We never...
We'd never, we never do magic.
You would never add magic to the equation?
Four sisters.
Four sisters.
Whatever shall they go dark.
But why are we so against witches?
Hitches.
To live together.
Witches?
Why are we?
Our snitches.
Oh, they belong in ditches.
Yes.
Witches are bitches.
Oh, okay.
Well, they also could be, you know, hitches.
Hitch.
Like Hitch?
Like Will Smith?
Yeah, like Will Smith.
I'm like Will Smith.
He had a call on his face in that movie.
I didn't see that.
I haven't seen the film, so I don't know.
Well, at one point.
Watch the trailer.
Oh, okay.
Oh, it's in the trailer.
It's weird that they would put it in the trailer.
It happens in the film.
Will Smith is a male.
Okay.
Well, this is incredible.
Will Smith is having a problem with someone in his life.
Yeah.
Either from work or from home.
Smith.
More.
I'm sure he is.
Okay.
So, you've added magic to the equate.
You've created a temporal blind spot.
Yes.
You were unable to see this.
How do you feel about hyacinth over here having slept with your ex-husband, Terence Howard?
I'm disgusted and I want revenge and I need help from two others.
I'm available.
I'm available too.
No.
It's against you.
You're the last one to call dibs.
I don't like to be left out.
I don't like when we do leave out.
Sleep with one eye open.
Oh.
When a sister sleep.
with another sister's ex-husband,
she will become the leave-out.
You know, you keep doing that voice,
but they're never going to hire you
at the haunted mansion at Disneyland.
Yeah, if I keep trying to.
No, no.
Try to say there's always my way out.
This way or the highway.
See, yeah, you got...
Taking too many creative liberty.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, so you're supposed to sleep with one night.
When is this going to happen?
I mean, you guys all know.
Tonight she'll sleep with one eye over.
And when the other one closes, one stays open.
No, you don't know what it is.
Oh.
It's going to happen to you.
Yeah, you don't know.
Okay.
You don't know.
Forget it.
All right.
Well, hopefully you guys can mend this.
Do you guys mind sticking around?
Our next guest is about to come out.
We're going to take a break.
Yeah, that's a graph.
I predict our schedules are open.
That's what I think, too.
I saw it.
Not really prediction as much as you just looked at your day plan.
I predict from this paper.
You got any, uh,
You got any filtered water?
Look, you know, I'm going to need you to take your feet off the table, all right?
All right, let's take a break.
When we come back, Jermaine Clement will be,
Jameen Clement will be here.
How do you say, do you guys have a prediction?
He's a male, right?
Clement.
All right, he'll be here after.
We'll take a break.
We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang.
Comedy Bang, bang, we're back here.
We have, of course, the Flaggin or Floggin.
Flagen.
Flagen.
Fling.
Sisters here, juniper,
puny, hyacinth, and shrub.
Hi.
Hi.
They're all ten months apart.
And boy, your parents like to do it.
You know what I mean?
Whoa.
Wow, that's a very disgusting assumption.
At least four times.
Well, our mother really liked it.
Our father went along.
They wanted us to be a band.
Oh, is that what the plan was?
Yeah.
Do you have any kind of musical ability at all?
No.
No.
No.
No.
I got some rhythm, but no.
Let me hear your, can you keep perfect time?
Yeah, I can beatbox a little bit.
All right, let's hear it a little bit.
Beat box, beat box, beat box, beat box.
Oh, okay.
When you started out, there was no beatboxing at all.
What's up?
Okay.
So, anyway, you guys have parents who like to have sex, but oh yeah, you're psychics.
That's right.
That's your main thing.
And we, of course, just heard some astounding.
revelations about you
you know,
Hyacinth, you started
magic in addition to
your precognitive abilities.
Yes, and now my sisters are going to kill me in my sleep.
Kill you in your sleep tonight. Okay, great.
So we have to get to our next guest.
He is, of course, we all
grew up loving him
as a member of Flight of the Concords.
And then we
got to know him a little better
in some of his film roles.
There's, of course,
what's the one?
Dinner wishmucks.
Dinner for schmucks.
Was it the number four?
No, I don't know.
Dinner.
Yeah, for schmucks.
I don't know what kind of word that is.
Very funny in that.
And then you were in a recent film that I hear is amazing
about vampires called While You Were Sleeping.
Is that what it is?
What was it?
I guess everything I do is difficult titles as you'll see.
Well, when you haven't seen them.
It's called What We Do in the Shadows.
What We Do in the Shadows.
I've heard that's an excellent film.
Is that correct or incorrect?
You have heard that.
I have heard that.
Thank you.
And he has a new film that's actually out now called People Places Things.
Yes.
People Places Things.
And you are one of those three.
Is that correct or incorrect?
I'm one of the first group.
The first group.
Okay.
You are a human being.
Yes.
You might be able to say I'm one of the last group as well.
Okay.
And if someone's on top of me, maybe even the middle.
Punei, can you determine his gender?
Yeah.
He's a male.
She's really good at this.
This is part of her psychic abilities.
Spot on.
Spot on.
But I'm not wearing pants, so it's not.
Well, it wasn't.
Yeah, that's how I knew.
I knew as soon as he walked in, I was like, well, it's a male.
Scott's been smiling.
Scott's been smiling.
Harder than I've ever seen.
The best day of his life.
Loves a male.
Loves a spider lake.
Germaine Clement is here.
Hello, Jemaine.
Hey.
Welcome.
Thank you.
I feel very welcome.
Thanks for being here.
Have you been on the podcast before?
I was trying to remember that.
But we have met before.
Several times, you used to be back during the old comedy death rate days.
You and Brett used to come on and do songs and stuff like that.
That's right.
It used to thrill the crowd.
Is that an accurate assessment?
You're like you talking about the Vordval days.
Yes.
It feels like it to me.
That was like 12 minutes.
It feels like it was like 10.
Well, I mean, it was 10 years ago back at the UCB.
Back then it was.
Yeah.
You know, if you count.
Back then it was 10 years ago.
and 10 years from now.
In a way.
And it was 10 years hence from 20 years ago.
I predict that show is no longer.
That's just news.
That's true.
Is it?
Is it?
Is it true?
It's something that happened.
It's not a prediction.
Thank you. I am correct.
And that is an example of a correct prediction.
Okay.
I'll give you that one.
It's something you've predicted Ilya.
Yes, I predicted years ago that that would end.
She said it to me.
And now I know it did.
Oh, wait a minute.
You're pulling a sealed envelope out.
Yes, see?
Do you mind opening it?
Yes, I do, but I will if you're so desperate.
Here we go.
And wait, this is just your electricity bill.
Please pay it.
No.
I thought this is part of the act.
You're just giving me your electricity.
It's way too high.
It is the doggie days of oggy-doggy.
We talked about it.
It's too high.
Carnival wagon has no lights.
No, no, no.
Please pay.
Please pay.
So, Jermaine, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for.
being here.
Thanks.
You already said that,
and I?
Let me say it a third time
just to make sure that it
really sinks in.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
I've never felt so welcomed
that I've never been welcomed
so many times.
It's a nice environment here,
isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
It's hot though.
Humid.
I kind of meant in the studio
with me welcome you so many times,
but we can move on to the weather
if you like.
No, that's okay.
Whatever.
Currently, in your home country,
is it not winter?
That's correct.
Yes.
Yeah, right on top of the weather news.
Well, you know, I try to be.
It's winter.
And guess what?
When you guys have winter, we're having summer.
I did not know that.
I knew the former.
I did not know the latter.
So Christmas, I'll be wearing shorts.
I'll put some shorts on.
So you can do Christmas two times a year.
We don't, no.
But I'll bring back.
I'll take the idea back.
I predict that Santa will wear shorts when he visits your area.
Will he change into them?
The elves will pull down his pants and don't get his legs in the shorts.
I think in the mid-90s he got some of those pants that have a zip and you can zip off the ends.
Oh, yeah, those are in the 90s.
But they still have the zip up back so Santa can poop without taking his pants off.
He hates to take his pants off.
I wonder, we've had him on this show before here.
I wonder how many times, Santa, yeah, I wonder how many times he poops per trip.
I can predict it's four to seven a day.
Okay.
That's a lot for a human being.
On Christmas Eve, he's not human.
He's nervous on Christmas Eve.
If you think you hear Santa, it's coming from a toilet flush.
That's right.
He goes to the bathroom in every house.
Every single house?
He takes a cookie.
He has a milk and cookies.
He has a lot of milk and cookies.
I guess he's going to need the toilet a lot.
Do you believe in Santa, Jane?
It's a great digestion.
Ooh, I'm not sure I want to say this because a lot of people might be disappointed.
We have a lot of younger listeners.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, you do.
I thought so.
We've had him on the show.
We know he's real.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, of course.
I didn't realize he was evidence.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's audio evidence.
He recorded him.
We did his own podcast one.
He is not like a vampire, an audio vampire.
You actually can hear him on recordings.
Oh.
Yeah.
But he does stay awake at night.
Yeah.
Long nights.
Yeah, but he sleeps during the day because mainly he's out there traveling during the night.
Well, one night, famously.
Does he sleep the whole year?
to rest up?
No, he's not like a bear.
He works one day a year.
He works one day a year.
He works one day a year.
He must watch tirelessly all year.
That's true.
Like a commercial act.
He's been in Eminem's commercial so he doesn't have to work anymore.
Yeah, he's living enough residuals.
Very good.
Sweet residuals.
Wouldn't that be just amazing?
He does a lot of commercials.
He does.
Actually, you see him pop up Coke commercials?
Yeah.
He's all out of place.
He loves polar bears.
Yeah.
Jemaine, tell us about this new movie.
people places things
it's great
it's um
it's people
places things
oh I'm so sorry
people places things
no commas
noun
there's no commas in this
originally they were
but it was confusing
it looks a little better
without them
that was sort of like when we
don't know how to use them
appropriately when we put out
run runny run
I
the
people behind the film
originally put one comma
after Ronnie.
So it was run,
Ronnie.
Run.
Run.
And I said three,
two commas or none.
Right.
So run.
Ronnie.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Run or run, Ronnie, run.
And I believe we eventually went with zero.
It's just not have any.
No one's getting any.
Exactly.
No commas this year.
I think the same thing went on with this.
I felt like a comma scrooge.
Do you feel like that sometimes?
I think we're just contributing to the dumbing town of the whole world.
And you feel your film does that?
Yes.
Good.
The title.
The title only.
But only the title.
Do you feel the rest of it elevates people's intelligence?
I think it might bring them back to where they were when they started.
So even.
That's where you want to leave people at the end of a movie.
Yeah.
Where they started.
Like I could have not done this and it would have been fine.
Yeah.
That's what we hope for.
Great, great.
What's the film about?
I would assume that you're number of.
one on the call sheet. Is that correct?
I probably was.
You don't know? I don't remember.
I don't remember going, yes, every morning.
That's what I... Well, then maybe you weren't.
Because that's my reaction on my show.
They probably put me at number four.
I can predict that he was.
Oh, really? I have a friend Stephanie who's in that movie.
Oh, I love her.
She's my favorite actress.
Really? What do you like about her?
She plays my on-screen girlfriend and mother of my children.
She's a real pill in that.
You think so?
I don't like you speaking about her like that.
She plays your on-screen girlfriend,
meaning you have an off-screen girlfriend in the film?
I couldn't thought of that.
No, I mean...
Because does she know she's on screen?
Is that why you mentioned that she...
No, no.
It's more that in the film,
she's a girlfriend that...
She's not my girlfriend in actual life.
Oh, sure.
So on-screen, she plays your girlfriend.
She doesn't play your on-screen.
girlfriend necessarily.
He's in a film in the movie and she's
in that film within the movie.
When the movie continues and she's not
in a scene, she's no longer on screen.
She's still his girlfriend.
Does she drop her relationship? No, she doesn't drop
in the world of the movie.
Off screen.
But when we're not doing the movie,
she was not my girlfriend.
She made that very clear.
Did you have to break up with her when they said cut
every time so there wasn't any kind of confusion?
In the film, she breaks up with
my character immediately.
Immediately.
Immediately.
It's like the first thing she does.
So really, she's not your on-screen girlfriend.
Certainly right.
She's my on-screen ex-girlfriend.
She's your on-screen girlfriend.
I haven't thought about this enough.
Nobody's read the script or seen it.
She's my on-screen girlfriend for about two minutes.
And for the remaining 84 minutes, she's my on-screen ex-girlfriend.
Or off-screen ex-girlfriend, because does she return?
She does.
She does.
Okay.
She does.
She's an off-screen ex-girlfriend for part of the.
the film because she can't be there in every single frame of the movie.
But then she's an on-screen ex-girlfriend for a lot of the film because she returns
for scenes.
Yes, that's right.
That's a great way of putting it.
I predict they'll reshoot it where she's in every single frame.
As an inset in the corner.
Yeah, yeah.
Commenting.
A little circle.
Hey, Scott, is this protein powder for everybody?
Why are you getting into my refrigerator?
Huh?
Yeah, you can have some.
How much do you want?
All right.
I'll take the whole tub.
The whole tub.
That's for me.
It's not for everybody.
It's not for everybody.
I guess if you say it's for everybody.
I thought I was a guest.
All right, go ahead.
Have as much as you want.
That's a giant.
Can you quiet down while you're eating it, though?
Okay, all right.
We're trying to talk to Jemaine about this dynamite movie.
People Places Things.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is out.
People places things.
People's places things.
People's place things in the wrong places.
People, comma, places, comma, things, period.
The things people place.
The things people place.
Question mark.
So what is this film about?
I understand that you're a heterosexual male in it who has a girlfriend at one point and then he does not have it.
But other than that, I know nothing about the film.
Well, I'm a father in the film and in real life.
And in real life.
But to different children.
So I have my off-screen children, or actually child, real-life child.
And then my on-screen children who are played by real children, but they're not my real children.
So they did not see GI these children in the film?
Not to my knowledge.
They're actually real children.
They're real children.
Great.
I predict you are not wearing a wedding ring.
Pardon me?
I predict you are not wearing a wedding ring.
No, I'm not wearing a wedding ring.
Oh, I was right.
Oh, okay.
Or is this some sort of, what's your situation, I think?
She's basically the one who goes around.
Sleeping with other people's people, places and things.
So maybe she's trying to inquire as to your situation right now.
I am married, but I don't wear a wedding ring.
It's very dangerous as Jimmy Fallon has taught us.
I don't either.
Why is that thing on his finger?
What happened?
He got his wedding ring caught on the table and it tore off his finger pressure.
What?
During a show?
No, before a show.
So we had to cancel the show.
That's something we couldn't have predicted.
Wait, why not?
That's something no one saw coming.
When somebody's in a sound studio, it makes the predictions
much, much harder.
Oh, yeah, you can't get that.
There's no reception.
No signal to me brain.
Yeah.
His whole finger?
Cell phones.
Practically, they thought he may have to amp,
it may have had to amputate it.
He could never have had that show anymore.
Really?
Because no one will ever watch a talk show
with a four-fingered man.
Is he lactose intolerant?
I would.
I would watch it.
Really?
You know.
What about a man with six fingers on one hand?
I don't know if I'd notice that.
You don't think, because there's so many down there anyway.
You'd love a man with six fingers.
Believe it.
You would love it.
Shut up.
You kill my father.
Prepare to fuck.
Shut up.
Is it after five you lose track?
Is that anything five enough?
You see a whole lot of fingers and you think that it looks like enough.
Yeah.
What if it was coming out of the top of it?
At the top of the hand, I'd notice that.
Cool.
Would you notice if it was coming out of the bottom of the hand?
To be honest, when I saw it, well, yeah, I mean, unless he covered it if he held it, which I would do.
all the time.
Right.
Like a stick shift.
It's disgusting.
It'd be hard to pay for things with that hand if you're trying to cover it all.
Or it'd be easy to get quarters out of your wallet when they're down in the crease.
I predict anyone with more than five fingers listening to this is uncomfortable.
I predict I would be fingered by the sixth finger demand.
Whoa.
Okay.
Okay.
Why not?
Just that sixth finger?
Just the sixth finger.
You would be or you will be.
Is it bigger or smaller than the others?
Oh, it's much tinier.
I like a tiny fingering.
And it's nice because you can sit on the hand.
Do you mind closing your mouth when it's full with protein powder?
Just falling out.
We just got a snow of powder.
You remind me of the dead guy in hocus pocus when he gets his mouth opened up and all the stuff pops out.
Why has he got leaves in his mouth?
That was always my question.
Why did he go to bed with leaves in his mouth?
Four witches.
Never shall they go dark.
Juniper, you remind me of the black cat.
They're going to say the black witch.
Guys, guys, we're trying to interview Jermaine here.
I'm so sorry about this.
I enjoyed that.
I didn't understand it.
Some callbacks to the previous segment, I do.
Oh, okay.
And callbacks to the future.
The previous life.
Here's a callback for the future.
The end.
Very good.
So this fellow that you played, does he have a name or is he like a nameless individual?
He has a name.
He does.
The name is Will.
Will.
And we've met before as we've established.
Yes.
And when you met me, did you wonder what I would be like as a father?
Did you think I would like to know what it would be like to grow up with that guy?
I think so.
I think that it's...
I thought so.
Anytime I meet someone, I feel like that.
I go, I wonder if their personal situations were to change a bit.
How would they change?
Yeah.
Well, then you should watch this movie and you'd see what I'd be like as a father.
Can't I just go?
hang out with you at home? Sure.
I mean...
I can see it there.
It's far away. It's far away.
Although, no problem.
Okay.
Yeah. I could...
When's it good for you?
Tomorrow?
Great. How long is it a plane ride?
11 hours.
I'm there. Are you going to take the same plane with me?
Yeah.
Okay. Great. So we'll just meet there.
I mean, I mean, if I'm going to parent you, then you should probably be sitting there.
Wait, you're parenting me?
Oh, yeah. That's what I mean.
I thought I would just watch you parent your actual child.
But this is exciting.
This is full emotion.
Your child.
Your off-screen child is a...
Peer of twins.
A pair of twins.
Wait, are they two twins?
So...
Two twins?
So your four children?
That's the traditional number.
Oh, okay.
And they are both.
No, no, not two pairs of twins.
Okay.
It is a pair of twins.
A...
Meaning two...
Two children.
Two children.
Two people.
Two people from the same words.
A pair of two twins.
Twins.
A pair of children.
Two sets of twins.
No, no, one set of twins.
Don't lose one in the dryer.
One set.
One set of two children in touch.
A pair of children.
Two fruits that are pairs.
Okay, very good.
What did you do to get twins, do you feel?
Did you do something special?
You just put in just one extra thrust right at the end.
Okay.
Wait, you were right about the end.
Huh.
Wow.
I guess I am.
You predicted it.
Psychic, aren't I?
Wait, you didn't know?
Scott.
I wasn't saying you were.
If that is your real name.
Well, you tell me.
Which I know it is.
Okay, thank you.
So you're a guy with a kid in this film.
This is the longest synopsis of ever.
Well, I love we're getting it piece by piece.
Yeah.
Almost in real time.
And this character played by Stephanie Allen.
Uh-huh.
Breaks up with me, and my character is dealing with that.
Children, they're twins.
Parents of twins.
On screen?
On screen, yes.
I was confused.
I thought that was off screen.
Okay.
Oh, well, they're off screen as well.
They're not number one on the call sheet.
Okay.
And two.
I don't know.
How do they decide who goes above the other on the call?
The better actor.
Do you have to order.
Oh.
So, so are these Stephanie's characters you're on and off.
Is this her children?
Mary Kate is.
Yes, it is.
Yes, they are.
And she breaks up and what happens?
She takes them with her?
for the most part.
Tell us the end in the middle.
Yeah, in that order.
Does this film have act two problems at all, or is it?
I hope not.
It's a lot of, it's quite a difficult interview.
What can we do to make it easy?
No, no, no.
What?
All of us screaming?
The answers.
No, the answers part.
I don't know why I said it just like you did.
The answers.
So just your part of the answer.
interview because I feel like we're really holding up.
You're flying.
Yeah, you're flying.
Yeah, great.
Well, it's, my character's dealing a lot with not seeing his children.
It can be difficult.
Yeah.
They're with the mother.
He's good, you know, he's got life problems.
It's one of those men.
It's a, are you into sad dad comedies?
Heck, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean to dad sad comedies.
Okay, this could be classified.
If you stretch it, it could be classified as one of those.
Okay.
I think, I feel like I would be.
Dad's sad.
Well, this sounds, and how many?
I don't want to hear that suicide statistics went up because you said that.
Right, yeah, I hope not.
How many reels is this?
Four.
Four, that's a short film.
I don't know.
Five?
Probably about seven.
Okay.
Six or seven.
And where can people see it?
I guess you go down to any theater and you say, take me inside.
Any specific theaters, I think.
That's what you always say to any man at a theater.
I assume you're
All right, Juniper
You'd be inside
You'd be inside.
You do have to be inside to see this film.
What about if you're at a hotel
and they're projecting it onto like a big screen
while you're in the pool?
Are you at the hotel with a man?
Come on!
At the pool?
I'm trying to get sincere, serious answers
I guess we're sorry.
Six-fingered man.
We're sorry.
You can also get it on iTunes.
Do you know of that?
Sure.
And video on demand.
I've always felt the title of that is so presumptuous.
Well, it's present, like, demand.
Like, I can ask for it.
Like, hey, ask for my film.
Video politely request.
By request.
Video by request.
Exactly.
Isn't that much nicer?
I feel bad doing video on demand.
I'm an asshole.
I think if you use the word request, it gives the video an option not to show it to you.
Oh, no.
So you pay for it and then it goes, you know what, I'm not going to do this.
You have to demand it.
You got to demand it.
That's right.
So how much would you say that it's sold for on iTunes if you had to guess?
I think at the moment, 1499.
14, which is good because you can, here's a secret to all those people getting movies on iTunes.
Invite like 20 of your friends over.
Charging them a buck each.
Exactly.
You make five dollars.
You're not supposed to do that.
You're not supposed to.
Is it illegal?
No, I don't know.
You're supposed to watch each movie alone.
Well, remember you have a, remember VHS tapes.
I do.
At the start of them, I would say not for commercial use.
Don't show them in a group.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Something like that.
I'm paraphrasing.
That's a lot like if you're doing pay-per-view events.
It's a different price if you're showing it in a bar than it is at home.
Because if you're showing it in a bar, you're doing it for commercial purposes, and so they charge you more.
But I'm not going to tell anyone if you get to any of your friends over and watch people, places, things.
You won't?
I won't tell anyone.
I encourage it.
Even if I called you and told you I did it.
I would be glad, actually.
I think I'm going to do this.
Hey, you four, do you guys want to come over?
I predict we'll come over.
I predict we're already there.
But you're not.
I predict we're laughing and joking.
What kind of milk is this?
Is this whole milk?
Yeah, it's extra fat, actually.
Gulpy, gulpy, gulpy, gulpy, gulpy.
Oh, God.
Everything just sprayed all over the place.
It sounds strange, but it looks to even strange.
She never even drank anything.
All right.
We have to take a break.
When we come back, we'll have more
Germain Clement.
We'll have more of the, what is your name?
Flaggin.
Flagon.
All right.
We'll be right back with more comedy bang, bang, bang.
Bionney.
Comedy Bang, bang, we're back here.
Jermaine Clement.
They were such a short break.
But it would seem longer to the audience.
It seemed really long because of those advertisements.
I want to buy every.
I do want to talk about this because this is really exciting.
I'd love to have my own website.
Would you?
It's pretty easy.
Good luck.
That's what I hear.
Call of Squarespace.com.
We've been wanting a website for years.
How do you feel about going to the post office?
It's boring.
Yeah, of course.
Lines.
All right, but speaking of audio entertainment, this is really exciting to me.
You have a brand new series, limited series, but everything is a limited series because
everything has to end. It has to end. Yeah. So that's the way I look at it. But you have something on Howl now.
And it's not on Howl, but there's a preview for it. And all I've been hearing, all I've been hearing for months ever since we started this is this is a fantastic show. This is one of the best shows I've ever heard. You've got to hear this show. And I said, no, no, no, I don't want to. And that's a valid reaction.
But it is called, and I want to get the title. I'm going to try the title. Oh, okay. You want to do it.
at the same time.
You want to do it?
Three, two, one, then go.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Three, two, one.
The mystic.
Oh, I already.
I predicted a disaster.
I didn't hear you predict that.
It was in my head.
Also, she predicted a disaster
where half of California
is going to fall into the ocean
after the big one.
This podcast is male.
Is that right?
I guess so.
This podcast has a seaside view now.
It's called the Mysterious Secrets
This podcast is having a problem with someone close in its life or a family member.
All right, all right.
The mysterious secrets of Uncle Birdie's botanarium.
Oh.
Yes.
It's a long title.
It's not very good for tweeting.
Does it have to do it, plants?
Yes.
We're all named after plants.
Yeah, yeah.
Juniper.
Pinet.
Hi, Asent.
It's a country, it's set in the country where people aren't allowed to fondle plants.
They aren't.
Oh.
They're not allowed to.
They're not allowed to pleasure.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Interesting.
Bummer town.
Can you describe this show a little bit?
Because that probably gives me everything that I need to know.
It's an old-fashioned radio show in some ways.
It's like it's set in the 1800s, but in a very strange version of it.
Do you do a radio voice?
I don't.
I play an explorer on a ship.
Okay.
And you don't fondle plants.
I do actually.
You do?
I do, but I try and.
pass it off as scientific.
Is this a narrative show where every episode continues a narrative?
That's right.
Oh, okay.
How many episodes will there be?
Eight?
I predict eight.
Could be seven.
I predict eight spider legs.
What if you just gave up after seven?
That way you don't have to write an ending.
Well, I'm not writing it.
Oh, who's writing?
A man called Duncan Sarkis.
And a musician?
Yeah.
What gender is this person?
He's a male.
Very good.
Yeah.
She's really good at these predictions.
Another male man called Lawrence Arabia.
That's his stage name.
He does great music and also plays one of the characters.
And there's an artist.
He's a male.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay, see if you can get this one then.
All righty, all right.
Stephen Templar.
These are all people you don't know.
But if you're in New Zealand, you'd probably see them at bars.
Okay.
What's his name again?
Stephen Templer.
And it is a he?
You were saying what's his name, by the way, which leads me to believe that you have some clues.
That guy's a male.
He's a male.
He is a male.
He is a male.
And it's a very male-dominated society.
And then we leave in our ship and then we experience in other countries which is very more balanced.
Sounds like E.T.
Yes, it's based on E.T.
E.T.
No homer.
It was very male-dominated.
Male-dominated lots of plants.
They love to fond of plants.
Well, we don't know that E.T.
was a male.
We don't.
Well, Scott does.
Elliot said he was.
Scott slipped him over and looked for his dick.
Scott looked for his long finger.
Elliot doesn't not.
Elliot doesn't necessarily know what an alien's vagina looks like.
He does say he did this, he did that.
But how does he know?
He's assuming.
You say that about a dog and you might find out years later there.
Well, they know each other's most inner thoughts and feelings.
I think E.T. would have corrected him if he was rural.
Well, they might be hermaphrodites or Hadafidic.
Another thing that aliens have, we don't have.
That Deborah Winger.
Can you clear your throat off mic before you start talking?
I was just wanting to share that Deborah Winger is the voice of E.T.
Meal, male.
No way.
Is that true?
That's a little bit of Hollywood Facts.
Should we play the Hollywood Facts theme song here?
That would lead me to suggest that E.T could be female.
That was a Hollywood fact.
We need to play this song.
One second.
Nice.
Well, it's Hollywood facts.
and we're going downtown, going to Inglewood now.
Everybody's newie facts and knowing your stars.
Glitz and Glamaran, lots of bars.
Get a drink at a club.
Go, walk in front of Chinese theater.
Hollywood facts.
Take out your dick.
Check out the facts.
It's the Hollywood facts, bro.
I knew that from my premonition.
Yeah, you were really good.
Not as good as my nephew Todd was.
I knew that too.
What's one of the lyrics, Take Out Your D?
Yes
It doesn't stand out for me
Well, you did it
Preliminarily you came in here without pants
It's true
The song was written after you walked in
Can I ask about
When I first got to know you
I heard of course your wonderful Flight of the Concord
Radio show that was on BBC
Was that?
Yes
Yeah, is it fun to get back to doing audio entertainment
Yes, because you can do anything
Like listen to this
A spaceship
Holy shit, did you guys hear that?
I didn't see it.
I heard a wave.
That costs nothing, or a wave, I suppose.
I heard a bird flying by.
Problem with audio entertainment.
It's not specific enough.
You need to see the spaceship to know that it is.
That's not a spaceship.
That's a librarian.
That's E.T.'s male penis erupting.
Hey, how about this one?
A seal.
I thought it was E.T.'s little vagina.
You are correct.
That's water dripping in a glass.
And you're right.
Wow, okay.
Well, you can get CDs with special effects on them.
Really? Is that how you're doing it?
No, actually, we do stuff like we do a carriage ride.
They put us in a van and they roll us down a hill.
And record it?
Yes, and we record our scene and a carriage in there.
And then they put the effect of horses on later.
Really?
So a mix.
Interesting.
And sound is mixed, so that sounds like it was really convenient.
Yes.
Okay.
When does this come out?
I think it comes out in September maybe or?
I agree with you.
Yeah, very good.
I'm looking forward to this.
I've heard it's amazing.
It's coming up.
Coming up.
So, you know, go get your free howl subscriptions over here.
And you can hear Jemaine's new show.
And it's fantastic.
Of course, not an interview goes by, I'm sure, where people don't ask what's happening
with the flight of the concords.
You're coming back.
Are you coming back?
What's happening?
Are you coming back?
All those questions.
We're not doing the TV show anymore.
more. We won't do it.
Absolutely not. And not even if they paid you to.
No, well, they offered to pay us to. They did?
Well, I don't get paid for my show.
You should have a talk to them.
Yeah. No, but we're thinking of writing a movie, a musical movie.
Really? Starring yourselves or starring other people?
A combination.
Okay, so it wouldn't just be the two of you. Like, I was going to say weekend at Bernice,
but I think I mean dinner at Andre, dinner with Andre.
Andre was dead and they were holding him up the whole time
And he had sunglasses on
And everyone thought he was dead
Also it would be a different movie if you went to Andres
Instead of having it in the restaurant
Like if he was just making pasta
Dinner at Andres
Andre made dinner dead
Here I have some shrimp cocktail for you
So wow that's exciting news
You're thinking about making a flight of the Concord's movie
Yes there's an exciting thought that we've had
You thought that one time
Yeah
Wow
You're gonna follow up on that thought
We've written some notes.
You got final draft.
We've downloaded that.
Nice.
We updated it from...
You don't have the demo.
Are you in the FDX file format currently?
Or are you still an FDR file?
We've updated our final draft from the 2008 one from when we finished running our shows.
So now you're in FDX.
Now we've gone to X.
And have you done any command D commands where it's...
Is that a new thing?
Dual dialogue.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You must have done it.
Oh, but I didn't do that.
I went into the menu.
Oh, Command D is the shortcut.
Oh, I'm back on 2008 final draft.
That's exciting.
So when's it come out?
Possibly never.
But hopefully 2000 and one of those years.
One of those 2,000 years.
Yeah, hopefully in the next few years.
Probably will not come out.
Possibly will not come out.
885 years from now when we're in the 3,000s.
No, wait.
I predict it won't come out.
986.
After 25 years.
I predict it won't come out after hustle and flow.
I predict it's a Christmas flick, so bring your flip-flops.
Piae can beatbox if you need it.
Yes, please.
Beat, box.
She got cheap job.
I heard a song just this morning as I was prepping for the show that I turned my iTunes on random.
And I have, I think, close to 200,000 songs in it.
and it just whatever comes out.
And I heard a song that I was like,
this is a flight of the Concord song
that I've never heard before
or I haven't paid attention to.
Turned out it wasn't you.
Who was it?
Yeah, guess.
Who do you think sounds sort of like you?
It has similar types of songs in a way.
Not someone ripping you off.
I don't mean another comedy artist.
No, no.
Oh, that must be
Daft House.
Daft House.
Nope.
It's Rian.
Pridt.
Raffy.
It was Sparks.
The Goldfish.
It was Sparks.
They have a song called Rock, Rock, Rock, that I was like.
They're in L.A band, right?
I've just been a family.
They've been around forever since, I mean, they had cool places with Jane Wheatlin back in the day.
But back of the 70s, they were around.
There's some things.
There's some American things that didn't come to New Zealand.
Sorry.
Sparks did not come to New Zealand.
No, I've just been here.
I've just discovered them from the mystery show as the theme song from the mystery show.
Oh, interesting.
You should check him out.
I think you would like him.
My head and his voice, okay.
And one had a little mustache for a while.
Yeah.
And now he's got the little sort of John Watersy thing.
Bravely.
I mean, I think that's a better choice.
That's a better.
Definitely.
And now they're touring with Franz Ferdinand.
They've created a super group.
Yeah.
But FFS.
But the one's voice sounds like Brett, I think.
Okay.
Okay.
So that's why I thought it was.
Yeah, he does.
And it was taking a, it was taking an interesting look at something.
that happens in a style of music.
I was like, this has to be, this has to be you guys.
It doesn't have to be.
Well, it turned out it wasn't.
Yeah.
So, yeah, you're right.
I knew it all along.
We found love in a hopeless place.
Are you frequently knocked off?
Are you, is your music frequently knocked off?
My mom thinks so, but I don't think so.
No?
Yeah.
What does your mom think about, just you like listen to commercials or something and go,
ah, they're ripping you off?
Oh, well, that happens a little in New Zealand where they,
You know, they'll try and get us in a commercial one.
There'll be two other guys with the...
That happened with Ghostbusters.
They tried to get Huey Lewis to do it, and he wouldn't do it.
Instead, they get Ray Parker to rip him off.
And his son, Ray Parker Jr.
I don't find those songs that's similar.
But Huey Lewis got all the money, didn't he?
He did.
So then...
Yeah, so there you go.
For nothing.
I think it's the...
Pa-pah, ba-pah, ba'pah.
It sounds exactly like heart and soul or something.
Love.
No, it's the power of love.
It's a curious thing.
Isn't it?
Well, that was the song.
that he did after Ghostbusters came out for Back to the Future in 1985.
He made another song that sounded just the same.
Yeah.
You and I are going to fight in a minute if you say that they sound exactly the same.
How do you feel about that, about fighting me?
Do you think you could take me?
I'm not sure, but I love the adrenaline rush.
I predict the sad man will feel bad.
Yes, I predict there's a problem in this workplace with fighting.
What about the dad's sad?
Fight of the concord.
The dad's sad will feel bad.
A lot of these predictions are late.
Very late, I know it's full predictions.
Okay.
Are you ahead of time because you're from New Zealand?
Are you, you're somehow in the future?
Your toilet flushes the wrong way so you can tell us where our predictions lie.
It is the next day in New Zealand.
Yes, of course it is.
Well, your toilet flushes the next day in New Zealand.
You have to let your poo sit.
Sometimes if we're saving water.
You just got to let it mellow all day?
I don't know.
Even if it's not yellow.
Well, very good.
I sincerely hope that you guys make this film
because the world needs more content.
Okay.
There's a lot of content.
There's a lot, but we need more.
I haven't caught up with everything yet.
Really?
What's the one thing you haven't caught up with?
I haven't even seen Dr. Strange Love.
What?
Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb?
The Tricky title.
You've never seen that.
It seems like it would be right up your alley.
Yeah, that's why I think I should see it.
Well, my alley.
Can I tell you something?
This is a real life premonition.
Okay.
Let me tell you something.
She's standing on her head.
Ha!
I had a dream.
It was a long time ago.
I was a kid, okay?
And I had a dream, all right?
That I was riding, okay, like a horse, a bomb.
and
Right, wait,
writing a bomb like a horse
or you're writing?
Steve Buscemi,
Armageddon, that was you.
No, it was before that movie came out,
it was before Hustle and Flo came out
for Empire,
and definitely I had not seen
Dr. Strange Love.
I was riding a bomb
and the ground was coming at me
and I remember
being very calm.
Or were you traveling towards the ground?
No, the ground was coming
at me.
So you were still?
I was stationary.
Okay.
Riding like a stationary horse,
the bomb,
as the ground came forward.
And this is a true thing.
You know?
And I know that that's an iconic scene from that movie.
Were you riding a bomb like in a bar, sort of like a mechanical horse?
It wasn't bucking around.
No, no, no, no, no.
It was stationary.
It was just stationary.
The ground was coming at me.
Anyway.
So you predicted the established iconic scene from Dr. Strange Love.
That happened 20 years earlier.
Yeah.
Wow.
Incredible.
That's amazing.
It's pretty amazing.
That's why we have our own carnival and tour around.
Yeah, they tour in a carnival.
What other things are?
that you predicted from Aaliyah?
We could do a prediction about...
Yeah, do you want to do a reading?
Is that okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Pony.
Pianney start.
Oh, boy, not to...
Yes.
Male.
Yeah.
Yes.
Not to, you know, beat a broken record, but...
You are a male.
And that's how we'll start.
Did it on.
Did it on.
I predict that you are having...
problem with someone in your family or someone in your workplace.
I thought you were going to say fantasies and then I thought you were going to say an actual one.
I also predict you having fantasies about an actual one.
And you are having problems with someone in your life and you really need to clear that up.
Okay.
Okay.
Accurate at this point?
I'll do that.
Yep.
Great.
And I feel like taking in everything you have, if you look at the inventory of your life,
you want maybe more.
than what you have.
Do you relate to that at all?
Do you want more?
I want more space.
There you go.
Should we back away from you right now?
A man in a uniform.
The shrub is correct.
Or do you mean just the fact that the universe is sort of...
There seems to be a lot of stuff?
You know, contracting.
Is it?
I believe so.
I thought it was expanding.
I'm going to have to go and have to look outside.
I believe it expands for a while and then it contracts and basically at some point we're nothing.
I'm going to just...
I might have to get it.
outside and just have a look at it.
Have a look at the universe.
I'm getting a vibe.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, here it is.
Hi, Synth?
Here it is.
I'm, oh, it's coming.
I'm riding it.
Did you see a spider this last week?
Not that I noticed.
Did a spider perhaps see you?
That must have been it.
That was it.
That was it.
And there you go.
And there you have it.
Your life summed up.
I noticed that you didn't make fun of him for liking to date men as much as you.
We told you that each reading was different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Each reading is different.
We didn't make fun of you.
We just told you about yourself.
If you're insecure about it, that's your problem.
He just gets a standard T-shirt.
Standard reading, standard T-shirt.
It says I had a standard reading and the back is us looking outward.
Yeah.
I thought it said you got predicted.
That's one of the shirts.
That's one of the shirts.
That's the one you got.
Okay.
All right.
Hey, is this cheese?
Is this free?
Yes, it is.
Give them the T-shirt, ladies.
Here, it's American Apparel.
It's really good quality.
Really good quality.
That's a baby to you.
Why would you give him that size?
Because he likes to wiggle into things.
Oh, okay.
I didn't predict that, but it's true.
It kind of shows off my contours.
You're flying of the contours.
Yeah.
Well, guys, this has been a fantastic show.
We learned a lot about Jermaine, I think.
Yeah, we delved into me.
We really have one last thing we have to do,
and that's a little something that we call plugs.
I like that.
That was I Want to Hear Your Plugs by Sam Himmings.
That's like something that I would just normally listen to.
Jermaine has a fellow musician.
Rate that.
10 out of 10.
10 out of 10.
Sam, Himber, that has to feel good.
Take a victory lap.
Hearing someone as accomplished as you.
Grammys?
Do you have Grammys?
I have one.
You have one?
Of course you do.
Which, you know, I shared credit for, but yeah.
Wait, do you have to share the actual Grammy?
No, we get one each.
Very nice.
We had one each.
Yeah, what if they...
and the people who
produce the record, they get one.
What if you had to split it up
by how many people you shared it with?
You know, like you got an eighth or a fourth of a Grammy.
Share custody.
It's hard to cut it up because it's metal.
And what if they expected you to cut it up?
But you know what I quite like is you get,
you know it's a little record player.
I don't know if you guys have Grammys.
Yeah, I do.
I do too.
You guys all have Grammys?
You get it in a foam.
I'm going to follow up on this, but go ahead.
You get it in a foam box.
You get a box with foam and it's cut in the shape of the Grammy.
I almost like the foam box more.
We've talked about this on the show before.
That's almost like a mold.
People can be making their own Grammys.
If Styrofoam would hold grame.
People be making the grame.
But you can make a mold out of the styrofoam.
That's true.
So I guess I would have that bit.
And then I'll let the other person, in this case,
Brett, I'd let him have the Grammy.
And I'd have the phone.
box. And then I would, after a few days, really regret that. Right. I've just got this box.
How many people, and this is a serious question, how many people have senior Grammy and been
impressed by it? Not many people. If they have, they've been into my office and they're not allowed
in there. So if you're listening. Get out of there. Get out of there. So some burglars, maybe.
Yeah. They didn't take it, though. Would you hope that a burglar were your house to be burgled,
and I pray that it is not. Would you? Would you?
you hope that a burglar would at least go, wow, this dude has a Grammy.
Like, that's impressive.
Yeah.
Okay.
Jack putt.
Yeah, I'd hope they think I'm mysterious.
I like to try and impress everyone, even people who are thieving from me.
I think we can all relate to that.
I think that's a common feeling.
All right, well, what do we have to plug?
Jermaine, obviously you have this movie, people places things out now?
Do you think from the description that we've outlined here that people will see it?
It's pretty clear.
I mean, is there any sort of extra pizzazz you want to throw in there?
Like, you know, is there an explosion?
Well, just the same as I've said to you.
If you've wondered what it would be like to have me as a dad, watch this movie.
And to see you as a leading man.
And also.
Real comic timing.
I've always wondered what your face would look like if someone were to break up with you.
Oh, it's very strange.
But you'll see it.
You'll see it.
You get to see that.
It's very unusual.
I want to see that.
I want to see it.
It's not like Brad Pitt's face.
actually when he does it.
I also kind of want to see the underside of your feet.
Are these features not...
Scott.
I can just show you.
Okay, yeah, I'll just show.
Oh, my God, there's a finger in the middle.
Oh, how do you have a finger in the middle of your foot?
It's a little surprise ahead down.
Oh, my gosh, thank you so much.
Never going to get rid of Scott.
It would come up when we were talking about it.
People place to things is...
It's out in all theaters now.
No, 20 theaters across the country.
20. Okay, sorry.
How many do you have?
It's in Fresno.
It's in...
Testin. Check your local listings.
Downing.
And it's also on iTunes.
And you have to demand it.
I'm so sorry.
Anything else you want to plug?
Of course, your podcast, the...
Yeah, go ahead.
Check that out in September or howl.
You should get into howl.
Yeah, it's called.
I imagine you just plug that.
The mysterious secrets of Uncle Bertie's Botanyarium.
Anything else you want to plug?
This is your time to shine.
No, no, that's all right.
All right, very good.
I'm going to go to...
I've plug a finger in it.
I'm going to go to the sisters here.
Anything you guys want to plug?
Yes.
Yeah.
We all have one thing we care about.
That's right.
One thing in the world that we care about.
We predict you'll like it.
It's on Howell as well.
Wild Horses.
The Perspective.
As it started?
Yes.
As far as I know, there's three episodes up, five episodes up of this show.
And you guys like this show?
We love it.
The show is great.
And we also.
think you should listen to Psychic
show with Lauren Lapkis.
Oh, and you guys agree with that?
Absolutely.
Now, as Psychics,
we can say that this is
a bona fide podcast.
Is it a lot like you guys,
like listening to you guys?
No, it's nothing like that.
Completely dissimilar.
Will you be on the show?
No.
It's a documentary
style podcast
series.
About Lauren, this
comedian that we know.
She's amazing.
Going to see psychics
and have.
having experiences.
Oh, interesting.
She was following us on Twitter, but we wouldn't give her readings for her show.
And Aaron Whitehead joins her on the journey.
Oh, okay.
Well, I will.
This sounds good.
Okay.
And listen to with special guest Lauren Lackis on the Howell app as well.
Okay.
So this is all available on Howell Premium, which people can get a free month to, I think,
by putting in the offer code CBB currently.
Is that true?
We have a code as well.
No, no, no.
Support us with Wild.
No, no.
Or Lauren.
All right.
All right, Jemaine, do you have an offer code?
Yeah, Berties.
Berties.
Berties, B-R.
No, not B-R.
That's the New Zealand way.
We spell it the American way.
B-E-R-T-I-E-S.
When you spell in New Zealand, do you take out the vowels?
But all these things are going to do the same thing, but then they'll know who gave it to them.
But pick your favorite.
Pick your favorite of those.
All right.
I also want to plug, I didn't talk about this on last week's show, but if you do sign up for
Howl, on Howl Premium right now, they have our outside land show from a couple of weeks ago.
We went up to San Francisco and we had intern Gino on the show.
And then also Rory Scoville and Matt Besser and James Adomian.
They were all on the show and that is all available on Howell premium right now.
All right, I didn't.
God damn it.
How did you know?
Just so I could tell you your eyes.
You lying eyes.
Yeah, I could tell too.
I predicted that too.
Oh, okay.
And Stephanie Allen, the actress we were mentioning earlier, is also on The Complete Woman, which is on Howell with Amanda Lund.
With Amanda Lund.
Yeah, that's a good show I hear.
with her. She was a complete woman.
All right. I also want to
plug this Thursday on the Comedy Bang Bang TV
show, Randall Park from Fresh Off the
Boat and several other things that everyone loves
from Wet Hot American Summer. I just saw him in.
He is on the couch with us and
also Paul Britton
in a really, really funny appearance.
And this is a really
funny episode. It's Thursday
1030
on IFC after an all new
documentary now, which is Bill
Hayter and Fred Harmison's new
So check that out.
I predict it would be very funny.
Oh, thank you.
That is male.
It is male, yeah.
I predict there will be a problem within the episode that has to be resolved and should be.
Pretty good prediction.
There is, actually.
All right, let's close up the old plug bag.
Closing up the plug bag.
Do you.
Blu.
Brow.
That is a good song.
That's a good song.
That is a good song.
That song's okay.
That's a great song.
I didn't like that song.
Was that even a song?
That's a good song.
What do you think of that song, Jameen?
It is a good song.
All right.
Well, guys, this has been a fun show.
Thank you so much, Jermaine.
Thanks for appearing on the show.
Where do your travels take you next?
I'm going to New Zealand tonight.
