We're going to be back Monday with a new episode of Comedy Bang Bang.
Until then, enjoy this Boonusbang! Harry Houdini in a burlap bikini was in my dreams again last night.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Thank you to Forgotten Pocket for that catchphrase submission and Harry Houdini, boy, very topical
today.
If you consider what he does to be the work of the occult, what he did, of course, he maybe he's still doing it up there in heaven.
I'd like to think there's a whole cadre of magicians up there in heaven.
You got Harry Houdini on card tricks.
You got David Blaine.
Is he still with us or is he up there too?
Chris Angel.
What's going on with him?
He's he's I mean, he's out of anyone.
He would be the one who's up there in heaven.
Jimi Hendrix on guitar there, bottom on drums, just accompanying them,
doing some light, light music to accompany their magic tricks.
Anyway, it is all Hallows Eve, a very spooky,
very chilling episode of Comedy Bang Bang today.
Coming up a little later, we have a supercomputer.
That's interesting. A supercomputer.
We also have an artist is coming up a a supercomputer. That's interesting, a supercomputer.
We also have an artist is coming up a little later.
That's interesting.
And we also have a comedian of note.
But before we get to any of them,
let's talk to our friend here for a second.
He, look, he was dead.
So this fits with Halloween.
He was dead for a good, how long was it?
Five years?
It was four years.
Four years.
From 1980 to 84, I decided to come out.
1984, so you got to see Live Aid.
Right.
You didn't take part in it.
No, I got to see it.
That's what I wanted.
You know, that's why I don't tell too many people
I'm still doing music,
because I want to see all the shows.
I go to a concert every so you come on stage
and you talk for a little while.
Talk for it. I would talk with a melody in your voice.
Yeah, they want you to sing.
Yeah, they tried to trick me that way.
Yeah. But of course, we're talking about our good friend, John Lennon.
Hello. Welcome back. How are you doing?
Oh, let's don't turn the tables on me, John.
I'm sorry. The questions are for you, my good friend.
Right. You keep them coming and I will answer them as true as I can.
You are, of course, you're not technically a ghost, are you?
No, I'm alive and well.
You're alive.
I, yeah.
You're not a zombie.
If anyone's listening to the show, this is the first show they are hearing, John Lennon
and me died in 1980, shot in the body, blood everywhere, died.
Right there in the body.
Right in the body.
A hard place to get shot in. Well, it everywhere, died married. Right there in the body. Right in the body. A hard place to get shot in.
Well, it's the biggest part of you.
Yep.
And it went in, the blood, you know,
as we've discussed.
Blood came out.
It goes in, blood comes out.
It's like, one for them, one for you.
One B for a B.
Sure.
Bullet to blood.
Sure.
So I'm dead in the ground, and you know,
as we just talked about, I didn't like it anymore.
I wanted to get out.
So I get out.
You can do it.
And anyone can do this?
Anyone can do it if they choose.
Yeah.
And a few people have, but you're maybe one of the most famous who has done it.
Probably the most famous.
Yes, there are a few guys in my cemetery who got out, but you know, we don't know them.
To mention the name would be...
To get out at the same time, how do you know this happened?
Like right simultaneously?
Well, you know, when I got down to the ground,
I was sitting there for a little while.
Yeah.
Because-
Can you communicate with any of the other bodies?
If they come out and they're alive,
just same way you and I are talking.
Okay, great.
Through microphones.
So yeah, I was sitting there-
You have to have microphones.
Right, and I'm sort of scratching my head thinking,
dusting myself off of the wing of the white suit,
and thinking to myself,
what is going on here?
Am I back alive?
So I'm sitting there, and I'm seeing other people
come out too.
So, oh really, was it Halloween or something?
Why was everyone coming out at the same time?
What day was it?
It was 10, 31, yeah, oh my God, it was Halloween.
10, 31, 84.
That's right, it was Halloween day.
So it was a little less than four years,
because I believe you were shot in the body,
famously in December of 1980.
Right, yeah, the day I, you know, don't care to remember it.
Right, oh yeah, I can only imagine.
Don't need to.
Is that guy still in jail who did it?
Ah, you know, again.
You ever catch up with him?
No, I don't want to talk to him.
He did his thing.
You've never been to the prison just to be like, hey, let's hammer some of this.
He's doing his thing, I'm doing mine.
His thing and your thing are not necessarily.
No, we don't need to meet anymore.
Right. Because last time we met, it don't need to meet anymore. Right.
Because last time we met, it didn't go so well for both of us.
Maybe this time you could be the guy doing it to him.
I don't want to do that.
Shouldn't people get the death penalty
if they are convicted of a crime?
Because life in prison takes 60 years, 70 years sometimes.
If you get the death penalty, you get put in the ground, then
you can just get right back up.
Ah, Mr. Ockerman, my politics days are over. I'm not getting into that stuff anymore.
I'm not doing it. I'm here to have a good time now.
You're just here to have fun on earth.
I'm here in LA to have a good time.
Yeah, that's right. Welcome to LA.
I don't come here, I just got off a plane.
Last time I saw you was in New York City.
That's right. We were on the stage chit-chatting. Yeah, we were on stage.
Yeah, we were chit-chatting.
We were chit-chatting and a bunch of people
were interrupting us.
Those people being, people would come on stage.
The actual guests.
The audience interrupting with a laughter.
With these noises they were making.
I know, I tried to have a real conversation with you.
So you're, why are you in LA?
I'm pitching a show with Wolf.
Blitzer?
Now Finn Wolfhardt.
So my brain's all over the place. I just got off the plane.
And the Blitzer get involved, though.
I think we get to be wolves.
Oh, actually, this is perfect because what we're doing, we're going to need some spooky stuff.
Really? Right.
We're doing a strange of things.
So to what do you say? Reboot reimagining.
I believe it's still on the air, isn't it?
Is it is it's another season is still coming. But it? It is, it's still on the air.
Another season is still coming, but you guys are gonna...
Well, we want to get in because what, right when...
Reboots are happening quicker and quicker these days.
I thought the whole thing was that show was...
I read the other day, it was like,
Zoe Defchanel is iffy on the new girl reboot.
I'm like, this fucking show just ended like six months ago, didn't it?
She's the girl.
Well, you know, the way, the way, you know, writing takes a while,
just getting deals think takes a few
Oh, man boy, leave by the time that goes the show will be gone and almost forgotten
So we got to this was Finn's idea. We got to get in early get in early and often okay
What's happening in your reboot? We're doing it's you know?
They're basically the same thing. It's basically everyone's I down
Down spooky stuff why don't araya is gonna be in it same characters?
Um, that's slightly different names
The name of the show was a strange of things where unique stuff
This is a reboot of stranger things, but you're calling it something right legally
We can't call it that so we're putting it on hulu and we're doing it called a unique stuff unique stuff, right?
And I'm gonna be in it. I'm gonna be one of the teachers
As I recall stranger thingsanger Things, the teachers
don't factor prominently into the plot.
That's going to be a huge difference.
By the way, you don't.
This time, the teachers take control.
As they should.
As they should have way back when.
All these kids running around.
Discipline them.
Discipline them and spank them.
Corporal punishment is going to be the message in this show.
I thought you said you weren't political anymore.
That's the only issue I stand for.
Corporal punishment.
Right, for children.
So unique things.
Unique stuff.
Unique stuff, sorry.
Covered to you on Hulu as soon as we can get it done,
written, inked.
Whenever these legal eagles sign the paperwork.
Thank you very much.
And Finn is involved, is he gonna act?
He's gonna be in it, right?
He's just gonna be his character.
Oh, okay, same character.
The whole thing is he's gonna get zapped in
from a different world.
Okay, so this is like an alternate universe kind of thing?
Right, maybe it'll be the upside down, who knows?
Yeah, I always find it very desperate
when people suddenly go to a multiverse, you know.
It's a cash grab for sure, that's what we're doing.
Exactly.
And you are acting, which is interesting
because you don't want people
to know that you're alive necessarily that's the thing I'm gonna Yoko
especially I'll have a static you know prosthetics on prosthetics sort of like
Brendan Fraser in his his new movie the whale the whale right we have the same
person we have the same effects group same same fat suit no we're not doing a
skinnier suit we're doing no skinnies It's all just a bigger nose and chin.
How could they do a skinnier suit?
I would have to be a compression.
I guess that's just Spanx.
Yeah, it's just compression Spanx.
We have a lot prosthetics.
I'm wearing Spanx.
I'll have a pair of Spanx on my head.
Out of my wig.
I'm telling you, Scott, it's this day
it makes everyone crazy.
That's not a good idea, but you say it.
What's your character's name? And what does he teach?
It's gonna be Jeremy Lennon and he teaches music at the high school.
At the middle school, because the kids are still in middle school.
So how is Finn gonna age himself down?
A smoothing process.
I see.
Right.
So you're Mr. Lennon, you teach music.
Right, teach music.
I'm really worried Yoko's gonna see this in real life.
I'm worried too, now that you mention it.
I don't know if she has a Hulu account.
You should have checked that before you went in
and took a meeting at Hulu.
Look, we went all over town pitching this thing.
Hulu was the only one who bit.
And once you get a bite, you sign it.
Oh yeah, sign on the dollar line.
Did they buy it in the room or did it take a long time?
They bought it, I could have come in with anything, Finn too.
I mean, he's so hot right now in Hollywood.
Yeah, except it was turned down everywhere else.
So you could have gone, but to Hulu.
No.
All right, interesting.
I know, it's very interesting.
The whole process has been very interesting for me.
So, I mean, this is sort of like how Game of Thrones,
I don't know if you were ever watching that.
Another show that had to White Walkers and spooky stuff.
Right, right. A lot like that.
We'll bring some of them, zap some of them in for our show too.
Sure, why not?
But this is a lot like how they were finishing this TV show while the books
are still not yet finished.
You're trying to do unique stuff while the first show is not finished. Right. And we're hoping books will be written about our show in the future.
It'd be so good. Like nonfiction books?
Anything. Just because it's advertisement.
Right. We're going into this whole opportunity.
It's an opportunity.
It's a money cash grab opportunity for everyone.
If they want to play ball and want to, you know, get rich.
Play ball. That's the big part of the world series.
You watching? Oh, God, you can't get away.
Yes, I'll be.
It's going going foul.
I hate when that happens.
Yeah, I hate it.
The pitcher, there's one guy on the field, the pitchers smiling as big as he can.
He loves it. Hey, I'm still around.
Hey, can't take me out yet.
The coach throws his hat down.
Damn, we can't do anything about it.
That's the thing. Coaches are stymied by these pitchers
getting foul balls.
I know, why don't they just run the whole damn show?
I know, exactly.
You ever see a manager go out there like he's going to pull the guy out and he does
and he just grabs the ball and he starts pitching?
I would like to see that.
I would like to see that too.
He's like, anyone could be better than this guy.
I'm already dressed for the pot.
I've warmed up my arm.
I warmed up my arm, giving him the thumbs out sign.
Get out of here, sign.
I'm like, wind up getting him out of there.
I don't know, we'll get back to Wolf Blitzer
just for one moment.
I do want to finish that.
Finn Wolfhard, I think.
Oh, you mentioned.
Oh, okay.
No, you had a good idea getting Wolfie in there
because he could be a wolf man.
So we'll do that.
That's true.
I just wanna make sure we're doing-
How often does he get like requests from SNL
or the major sketch shows?
Oh, he's getting them.
The Mad TV's, the Amy Schumer sketch show.
Where is he?
Yeah, where is he?
Black Lady sketch show.
How many requests does he get a year to be like,
do you mind playing a wolf man in the sketch?
I bet he's soliciting himself on those.
He probably wouldn't wouldn't
need a ton of like hair applied. Just take the glasses off. We'll darken you up a bit.
We'll put some whiskers on you. Maybe a chest hair prosthetic. Yeah put some chains on you.
Lock you up. Make sure the moon's out. Wolf Blitzer he's there
delivering the news at the desk. He falls down behind the desk, gets up, it's just him again.
But he's going, argh.
Still trying to do the news the best he can.
It's just in, I'm a wolf man.
It's just in, there's some unique stuff happening over in Ridge, what's the name?
We'll name the town Ridge Crest.
You really should figure this stuff out before you pitch.
Ridge Crest. You know, when you stuff before your pitch. Ridgecrest.
You know, when you go to a pitch,
all you talk about is who wants to make money
and Wolf's gonna be in it.
Finn Hart and Wolf Hart and everybody.
Ironheart, Finn Hart.
I'll tell you, I woke up so damn early this morning
to get on the plane.
I can't make sense of myself.
Yeah, do you fly private or do you?
I fly public and I was sitting there with,
I seem to.
You gotta be worried that Yoko's gonna get on one of these planes when I...
Where is she going?
Anytime I go to New York from LA, I always see someone that I know on the plane.
Okay, do you see, you know, 1960s, 70s weirdo artists?
I have never come across Yoko on the plane,
but I would imagine someone in my circles has.
I'd imagine she'd be in first class too, private.
So you're in the back.
I'm in the back.
I seem to have every child, baby on the plane sitting by me today.
Really?
And screaming their heads off.
Babies are the worst.
I wouldn't say that.
They're terrible.
No they're not.
They're wonderful when they're quiet on a plane.
We'll talk to our guest about that.
Oh, that'll be interesting.
Yeah, that'll be so interesting.
It could get interesting. I've heard the talk about being a parent is that'd be interesting. Yeah, that would be so interesting. It could get interesting.
I've heard the talking about being a parent is not good for comedy.
I read that in the New York Times.
So I'm staying steering clear of this topic.
So you're tired.
You know, I'm just loopy.
I'm punchy.
Yeah.
So if I say something like, well, Finn hard, we can understand.
We understand that. We understand that.
Yeah. You're you're like, you've just gone 10 rounds with, uh,
with a wolf man.
I'd like to see that. Yeah, right.
You boxing John Lennon boxing Wolf Blitzer and then, okay,
it's sort of like a decathlon, but just two events. So a two, two,
cathalon, a duo, do do do Athelon, right?
Where like you box and then you have to deliver the news.
Oh, that's good.
And if you can, you've been hitting the head so much,
if you can get a sentence out, that's good.
I think this is good.
This just in-
Paper view.
Ukraine and Russian war is having a great time.
You know what I think, that's not good.
PPV.
You, huh?
PPV. Paper view. Paper view, yes.'s not good. PPV. You... huh? PPV.
Pa-Paperview. Paperview, yes.
Right, okay.
PPV!
You said it to me with like, you're gonna kill me.
I might.
PPV!
So today would be the day for it.
It really would.
Right.
And if you get... that's the thing though.
That's why murder is not that big of a deal.
Right.
If you die, you just like, get back up.
You're back again.
Yeah, exactly.
Just no one chooses to do it because... They don't know. They don't know.
Because they don't they don't teach it. You're here to tell people about this.
Right. Yeah. They won't talk about it in school. They won't talk about it in even
the higher learning establishments, colleges, universities, that type of thing.
It's really a shame. Yeah. It's really a shame. Yeah's really a shame. Did you also stop aging as well? Yes.
Ah, we don't know.
Can you do that after you're dead?
Or can you do it while you're alive?
But I'm aging well.
Oh, okay.
I'm doing it gracefully.
Yeah.
You know, recently-
Lennon don't crack, Lennon don't flennon.
I don't know.
Lennon don't crack and Lennon don't fly back first class.
Unless he gets caught by his ex-wife.
Ex-wife?
Yeah. Current wife.
Well, I mean, you're presumed dead,
so, I mean, they saw it.
So I think she's,
I don't know what the legal thing about that is.
If you come back to life, are you still married?
Better left alone, I guess, in my case.
They deal with this in the blip,
in the MCU.
Some people got remarried in that five year stretch.
Right, right, right.
I saw Dr. Strange.
Really?
He's a strange guy.
Strange guy, loved the movie,
loved Dr. Strange.
But he's a little weird.
He's off the charts weird.
But you should have called him like Mr. Weird.
Right.
Maybe we could use that in this new Unique Stuff show.
Unique Stuff.
Mr. Weird pops by know does whatever he does.
All right John well I need you I need you here as my co-host for this very very spooky
show.
Good.
On the old days you would have said spooky Halloween I go oh my god I've thrown that
you're okay now.
I throw that childish stuff aside.
Okay good.
What happened?
Did you get?
I'm just you know I'm in the business now.
Did you get scared so hard that you came around the other side?
I got scared. Well, I went to a haunted house last weekend.
Really? Did I tell you about that?
No, you didn't tell me.
I didn't email you about that?
No, I was emailing everybody.
Why you've never emailed? You emailed everyone?
Lots of people, lots of people.
You went to a haunted house?
Geez, I can't believe I put you off the list on that one.
Anyway. Yeah, I gotta get back on this chain.
I emailed this list of people and said, you know,
I went to a haunted house, scared that.
Can I say the word I want to say?
I don't know what that word is.
It begins with an H.
Um, yeah, I think if it's the typical H word that I'm thinking of, scared the.
Heck out of me.
Look, I'm trying to have some fun on your show.
We've had a doll badge, I think.
I blame myself.
I was ready for my dismount.
Oh yeah, you're trying to bring it up again.
You wanted to talk about this haunted house.
No, I don't really want to.
What happened?
The haunted house was so scary that I got to the end
and I saw the Dracula they have at the end,
you know, who goes in for the bite.
That's a good haunted house always has a Dracula at the end.
He goes in for the bite.
He's like, OK, you've gotten through all the rest of this,
but now guess who's back?
It's me. Guess who's back. It's me. Yes, who's back?
And he's going in for the bite in his fangs fell out of his mouth
And I said you know what the hell am I so scared of all yeah?
I just so regular you know asshole idiots some college student right some fuck off make it minimum wage
What is minimum wage these days by the way is it like?
$30 an hour I would assume probably
Probably all the better to buy Apple TV plus with
Boy that can be I tell you I was pricing it the other day. It's it's 50
It's a hundred sometimes it's just it's as much as $500 a month at the end of a year subscription
You're like I could have bought a midsize sedan for the money that I spent on it.
I could have bought a seat on the board of Apple.
Exactly.
Boy, it's, it's, I just don't understand it.
But it's great to have you here, John.
Thank you, it's been great to be here.
Are you ready for our first guest?
I've been waiting my whole life for this moment.
He's a wonderful comedian, a comedian of note.
He has many specials out.
He co-created a show, the name of which has escaped me,
but I looked it up right before I came on.
Maybe he'll tell me what it is.
And he has a new special called Perfectly Stupid,
which just came out and he is our old friend.
Please welcome Kurt Branulor. Hello. Thank you for having me. Welcome. This is John Lennon. John Lennon. I'm very,
what a, I'm a big fan. So this, I'm a little nervous. No, don't be nervous. I'm a big fan of yours.
I'm a big fan of coming back from the dead. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I do music. I do music.
You do music. Right. Oh, that's cool. What is your band? Our band is the Beatles. We're not
together anymore. Okay. That's cool. We were big in the 60s, 70s.
60s. 60s.
I mean, you've been big every decade since.
Right. You'd say they're big right now?
Yeah, I mean, with the Get Back documentary,
I mean, they had a big, huge resurgence, I would say.
I would hear your music on the radio then.
Right. You'd heard me on the LDS, Rock and Roll stations.
Probably AM at this point, or Sirius.
Hey, the residuals still catch themselves.
They catch themselves.
I would just like to mention that, you know, obviously
your listeners can't see this, but because it's
a spooky episode, I'd just like to note
that there is a microphone that's just been pointed down
at the floor as if a ghost dog is going
to be a guest on this show.
Yeah, if you hear a it's like a combination of boo and woof. at the floor as if a ghost dog is going to be a guest on this show.
Yeah, if you hear a it's like a combination of boo and woof, it's like boof.
Then you'll know it's the ghost dog or it's John farting. I'm not sure.
That was better than what I was going to say. I was like Shia LaBeouf rolling around the ground.
Said his last name. Shia LaBeouf.
Kurt, welcome back to the show.
Thank you.
You're of course our old friend.
We did we or did we not go on tour together?
We did.
That first Comedy Bang Bang tour that we ever did.
You were the wonderful opening act for us.
I opened the show and that was when Bunk was on the air.
Bunk, which I still have the glass for.
I sent you a picture of that about a
year ago. That's amazing that that has not broken yet. Or you haven't gotten rid of it.
You said that yours broke years and years ago. Mine's gone. Mine's gone years ago. But
I still have swag from Bunk in my kitchen. And that was of course the fake game show.
Is it fair to say it's a fake game show? I mean, a game show is all improvised and just like, yeah, one of our ins.
One of our games was insult this puppy and we had real puppies that had been
living inside the contestants like desks for quite some time.
The contestants desks. Yeah.
The people who the people who are competing.
So then they had to reach in and there was a live puppy inside.
And they had to hold up a puppy in them.
Not their own personal desk for weeks and weeks.
And you were the host of that and we were paired together.
And so IFC, the network that we were on, are they still a network? I can't quite tell.
But documentary now just came out. I was like, what? Their first show in eight years.
That's a good point. I think they are on and they just show Halloween
about the vagina with teeth that was always our lead in oh vagina dentata I
just I just always remember like it ended with it biting the penis of a guy
off right and then and then of course they fast forward the credits.
Like you see this penis lying on the ground in blood.
Fast forwarded credits as they're like,
as clips from my show were like, get set for this.
And then my show would come on.
You'd be like, what the fuck is going on?
And then, and then we were paired with you.
And that was a lot of, that was a fun year.
That was very fun.
And then we went around the country
and we had some good times, did we not?
Yeah. I remember listening to Twin Shadow with you
in Washington, D.C.
You bought me that record.
I did, didn't I?
And you very nicely, and you said,
you'll really like this based on everything
we've been talking about music-wise.
I don't know about politics or anything like that, but.
And I remember you said, he's sort of like a cross,
okay, what are the things you like?
And I told you, and you said, okay, you'll like Twin Shadow. OK, what are the things you like? And I told you and you said, OK, you like Twin Shadow.
He's kind of a cross between Prince and Morrissey.
Yeah. And then Twin Shadow was on this very show.
And I told him that you bought me the record and said he was a cross
between Prince and Morrissey, and he visibly winced.
Oh, no.
What do you think of that?
How would you answer that?
Those are too good.
Too great.
Well, I mean, Morrissey these days,
but it was back then.
Sure, okay.
I get you.
And no one wants to be compared, right?
No artist wants to be compared to another artist.
He's just twin shadow, yeah.
He's great.
And he was on the TV show and this,
and then I got free tickets to his show.
Oh, that's nice.
And all because of you.
Thank you. I'm happy I could help. By buying to a show. Oh, that's nice. And all because of you. Thank you.
Well, I'm happy I could help.
By buying me a 9.99 album.
It was back, it was CD, was it actually a CD?
No, it was an iTunes.
I sent it to you.
You sent it to me.
Very, very thoughtful.
I really enjoyed it.
Now tell me about this perfectly stupid, this sounds like Dare to Be Stupid, which is a
Weird Al song, but it's not that?
No, it's a slightly different. Wow. Yeah's not that? No, it's slightly different.
Wow!
Yeah, it's a comedy special.
And you can watch it right now.
Is it Perfect Strangers?
No, it's very similar though.
So it's a cross between Perfect Strangers and Dare to be Stupid.
Exactly.
Imagine a Weird Al song and the TV show from 1982, Perfect Strangers.
With Balke.
With Balke Talkamas.umus, where he rides,
he definitely rides in a hay bale to America.
Do you remember that?
I do not remember that.
I think of the early, yeah, the early credit sequence.
Yeah, you see him getting in a hay bale,
and then he rides in America.
Does he go on a boat at any point?
We don't see the rest of his journey.
But we can assume.
Where did he come from?
Just another country?
Yeah, I think it was like a NATO country.
Yeah, it's like Kazakhstan or something.
Or Wakanda.
Jesus Christ.
Watch it.
Watch it.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, everyone.
That's forever.
OK.
So Perfectly Stupid, tell us, how is this different from you?
Because we've all enjoyed your previous specials, of course.
How is this one different?
What are the, what's the subject matter?
What is the length?
Those are the two questions I have.
Well, it comes in at a sweet 57 minutes.
All right.
So if you've got an hour, you got three minutes extra, something else to do.
Okay.
So fill that time.
Okay.
I call that cleaning up the popcorn time.
It gets on your shirt.
It's time to clean it up.
You're laughing so much. Right, you're laughing. You're having a great time. You up the popcorn time. It gets on your shirt and stuff. You're laughing so much.
You're having a great time.
You're throwing popcorn everywhere.
I've got three minutes to sweep up before I've got to get to bed.
You still sleep, John Lennon?
Oh, you got to.
Oh, really?
No, I'm alive.
Isn't it too much like being dead though?
This must be terrible.
Couldn't you choose not to sleep?
No, I sleep five hours a night.
I'm up all night doing what God knows what at my house, playing video games and doing puzzles.
But you have a very strict bedtime, it sounds like.
2 a.m. I got to be in the sack.
2 a.m.
And you're starting his special at 1 a.m. on the dot.
That's right.
This special is all about it's all about me becoming a dad.
Congratulations.
According to The New York Times, it's fraught territory for a stand-up comedian.
I read that somewhere, yeah.
I'm staying out of it.
And, yeah, I taught a little bit about how my dad didn't really prepare me to be a dad
and how...
In what way?
He wasn't a...
Like he never gave you any advice or anything like that?
He didn't show me how to have sex.
He didn't show me how to become a dad.
He never had sex in front of you to show you how to have sex?
No.
What is going on with this guy?
Call Child Services, get this man on.
Yeah.
Half the special is about how my dad never boned in front of me, to show me how to do it.
And how you would like to do that in front of not only your own child, but everyone in the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So half of it...
You have an OnlyFans, by the way, that you want to plug.
Well, that's what perfectly stupid is.
Half of it is me boning to show you how to become a dad. If you wanted to become one.
You have a really good stroke, I have to say.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
Are the jokes as the comedy portion
before or after the sex part?
It's Dory.
Dory, oh, whoa.
The jokes never stop, but I slowly undress
and then show people how to bone.
Oh, the undressing and redressing
is the other half of the sketch.
Exactly.
I see, okay, got it.
And there's not too much dressing.
From jokes to strokes. It's exactly, that would have the special. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. There's not too much.
From jokes to strokes.
Exactly.
That would have been a better title.
Yeah, probably.
You should call me next time.
Okay, I will.
When I'm looking for a title for my next comedy special.
So it's all about you.
How new of a father are you?
I have a five and a three year old.
Five and a three.
Yeah.
At some point they're going to be nine and eleven.
That's going to be a little insensitive.
Well made. Hopefully. Hopefully. At some point, they're gonna be nine and 11. That's gonna be a little insensitive, isn't it? Hopefully, hopefully.
That's all good.
That's gonna be a tough year.
That'll be a tough year.
I'll never tell people their ages at that point.
Please forget.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll say this one's 10 and 12 months,
and that one's nine.
So you, not to give anything away in the special,
you could talk a little more real.
You don't have to dip into material or anything like that.
But it seemed like it was some sort of a shift for you
where it was an important enough subject
to tackle on this special.
Yeah, and also, you know, my mom died
right before we found out my wife was pregnant
with our first child.
So sorry to hear that.
And so it's a lot about that as well towards the end.
Right before, so she never got to hear.
No, no, no.
It was literally we found out the day after my mom's funeral.
Really?
It would be weird to think if the news came in the middle of the funeral.
During the funeral.
It was a telegram.
Telegram!
Telegram!
You wife's pregnant.
Goodbye, mom.
Why are we getting telegrams at the funeral?
It was big news.
You'll want to know this.
We did have a ticker.
We had a ticker in there, because I always
want to know the stocks.
So even at my mom's funeral, I had a glass ticker
that would just read the stocks.
And the sports scores, of course, up there on the.
I did have a big LED as well that went around the church.
Sure, of course.
Because anywhere you were, if you were speaking,
if you were sitting, you wanted to be able to see it.
Yeah, and also most of Hollywood, most deadline, most dead most deadline information came up there.
Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Boy told you remember that from deadline.
Boy told you.
No, not boy told you.
I was saying boy.
And then I went into told you.
Do you remember when the late the late great Nikki Fink?
She I didn't know that.
Yeah, it just happened.
Told you. I literally told you.
Yeah, she used to say told you that was her catchphrase. T O T O L D J A. D G D J A. Yeah. It was the only catchphrase that has a DJ in the middle. Yeah. Yeah.
Other than a DJ saved my life. Other than that. That's a good one.
Um, so you, so, uh, you got that news. It must have been mixed emotions at that point.
Yes, and also my mom was a pediatric nurse, and so, and I think a part of the special,
what it's about is realizing that like once you become a parent is kind of the first time
you view your parents as something as actual human beings, as other than mom and dad.
See, I disagree because I, around five I was like, hmm, these guys are my peers.
You seem problematic, dad.
Um, and so you started to relate to the,
to what you viewed as maybe mistakes that they made with you,
but now you're like, maybe a little more forgiving of those,
or, not to put words in your mouth.
I could have just asked you how you felt about it.
He knows the script before the show next time.
I think my dad, you know, I have seven siblings
from my dad's side.
So my dad, as I say, loves to fuck, hates wearing condoms.
He's like a Herschel Walker.
He really loves to do it.
Yeah.
Anytime I hear about that Herschel. And that's what made me so mad is obviously he's doing it all the time.
He couldn't show me once. He couldn't show me once. Anytime I think about that
Herschel Walker, I'm just like this guy loves fucking so much. Like he just like
like every day of the week. Is he out there fucking? He loves it. I don't want
to get involved. I don't believe he just must. He must love the act of sex.
He's like a sex monster.
We should ask my dad.
I bet he enjoys the end result is the best part.
The kids?
The abortions?
All right.
See, I'm dipping my toe into an area I said I would never do.
Stay out.
Be careful, John Lennon.
All right.
I'm cutting people off.
Very spooky show talking about dead babies.
So and of course course it is Halloween.
We're talking about your mother's funeral.
I just want to tie that into it.
Perfect, perfect.
Spooky.
Do you know, do you know?
This is a true story.
Shortly, okay, so my mom died in July.
In October, I was asked to put on a play
inside a hotel room in New York City
at the Washington Square Hotel.
And so they're like, it's for Halloween.
So it's a Halloween theme.
And what my wife and I did,
I cannot fucking believe we did this.
We wrote this like, you know,
what was that immersive theater thing in New York City?
There's the Tony and Tina's wedding.
There's the Sleep No More.
Sleep No More, Sleep No More.
So we wrote this Sleep No More-esque thing.
So it had like two or three hotel rooms
that were all attached to each other.
And in the, I cannot believe we did this.
We were like processing my mom's death in real time.
In the, it was all about like her being sick
and it was like sickness and like at one point
the lights in the room shut off
and you just hear like a heartbeat
and you're in the like, it's like 12 audience members
at a time.
So they're in pitch black with this like really
thunderous heartbeat and then one at a time they're taken
out and they're walked in, they're walked into a room
where we have a like an elderly actress who's in bed dying.
And she's my mom and then they have to to and then my wife and I'm at her
feet like just crying just sobbing. And we and then Lauren would be like is there do
you want to say anything do you want to say do you want to say goodbye or
anything like that and they could say they could choose to say it or not right
and then some people would like come up and sit down with this actress and like
just like emotionally emotionally like come out and sit down with this actress and like, just like, emotionally
come out or some people just come out and like, you know, kiss her or whatever like
that.
And then people would like come out and they would be handed a phone and then Bruce Springsteen
in Atlantic City would play as they walk slowly down like eight floors.
And then they finally get to Dracula and he's there to buy you.
And then his teeth fall out.
And then they're like, it wasn't scary at all.
It's not bad at all.
Wow.
I cannot believe we did that.
I mean, I guess it's a way to process what was going on.
Yeah.
Ben make a lot of other people process it.
Right.
That's why I love it in an artist,
to make me go through their grief when I'm not experienced.
That was the most selfish part.
Were other guests at the hotel in the hallway
being like, what is going on in these two rooms?
Yeah, because it was definitely like, there's a show happening in one of the hotel rooms
and I don't think they told the other.
And the rest was still all functioning?
Yes. And I'm staying there. I'm staying there.
I'm going to do the Tonight Show and I'm going to stay in that hotel.
Oh, that's here in town.
Oh no, in New York. Yeah.
Oh, I forgot where the Tonight Show was.
I thought it was still in Burbank.
It's not?
What about Jay Leno?
Love his cars.
He had something.
He had good cars. We can all agree on that.
Everybody loves his cars.
We can all. I mean, look, you may not like his comedy.
You may love his comedy. He had great cars.
We all agree on that.
And you may not even like the cars, but they were great.
You have to agree they were great. Even if you hated them, they're great cars. We all agree on that. And you may not even like the cars, but they were great. But they were great. You have to agree they were great.
And they're all there sitting in a row.
Even if you hated them, they're great cars.
You have to admit there's a lot of them.
Right.
No, there's a lot of cars.
There's a lot of cars.
There's a lot of cars.
Look, there's no disputing those facts.
And he bought them with the money he made
on the Tonight Show?
No.
The what?
He still hasn't touched that, if you can believe it.
At what point does he finally get to open that up
and be like, he doesn't have kids.
Right.
Who's he gonna get?
Do you think when he passes away, God,
and look, I know this is a very morbid show.
Yeah, I know it's getting there.
But when he's up there in heaven doing,
he's like, the magicians are opening for him.
And then he comes out and does a solid hour after that.
Okay, so wait, just so I understand heaven.
So there's musicians who play for the magicians.
And then the magicians open for Jay Leno.
Okay, I just want to make sure the order of the thing.
And the mathematicians are the audience.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
And Einstein.
Yeah, Einstein.
And the other ones, you know, all his buddies.
So why is Jay Leno?
It wouldn't be Johnny Carson.
It wouldn't be anybody else.
It's always Jay.
Just Jay. All right. I mean, this is, you know, he't be Johnny Carson. It wouldn't be anybody else. It's just Jay.
Just Jay. I mean, this is, you know, he's on Mondays.
But when he gets up there or when he passes on, is he going to give all of that money away to someone?
I'm sure he's got a plan for it.
Is he going to give it to the magic club out there in Hermosa Beach or where he likes to go to all the time?
It becomes a superstructure of some sort.
Like Scientology. They use all the time. It becomes a superstructure of some sort.
They use all the money to add additions. They use one of his books from the 80s as they're finally the tenants of their religion. Anyway, back to you, Kurt.
Yes. So this is...
You sound like a newsman all of a sudden. Back to you. Hey, I would best you in that
part of our duathlon. Probably. With the shots I'm taking on the head.
Cause I'm about to fight to go head.
So this special is about these subjects and more.
But it's also fun.
It's like, it's very, it's packed with jokes.
It's joke, joke, joke, joke, joke.
But it also has an emotional core.
Is it hard to write jokes?
Yeah.
I mean, you say there's a lot of them, how many?
You know, people say-
57 minutes.
Let's say 57 minutes.
I'm going to tell you 40 jokes, maybe I'm going to say 48 jokes in 57 minutes.
That's my guarantee to you.
Forty eight jokes in 57 minutes.
The rest is like facial expressions and like you kind of stick it out.
It's dead silence.
Do you hold up pictures of funny cartoons and things?
Yeah. If you just point out, look at this for a second.
Check this out. Just hold. Hold.
It's not a joke, but it makes you feel pretty good.
Let me move on now with what I'm going to do.
Now, I got a question for you.
Yeah. When you when you you had the idea to do a special,
did you were you doing comedy? Yeah.
And you said, oh, these are a bunch of I'm doing a lot of dad jokes.
Let's put that into the special.
Or did you say I'm going to do a special about being a dad?
Now let's write the joke.
Was it just like you? Oh, OK. Sorry. I was'm gonna do a special about being a dad? Now let's write the joke. Or was it just like you-
The former.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I was gonna do a third option.
What's the, give it to me.
Cause maybe I've, I don't know what I did.
Were you just doing a lot of material around town
about whatever was on your mind?
And then you, at the end of it, you were like,
holy shit, this is a lot of dad jokes.
Yeah, it's kind of option one.
Oh, was it?
Oh, was it?
Oh, was it?
Oh, was it? More or less. Or were you just kind of like doing a lot of dad jokes. Yeah, it's kinda option one. Oh, was it? Yeah. More or less.
Or were you just kind of like doing a lot of jokes
and then you figured out like,
oh wow, these are a lot of dad jokes.
Or did you say,
did you say I want to do a dad joke special
and then write it that way, which was option two?
Ah.
Oh, did you, oh, do you want to say option one again or should I? Yeah, why don't you go ahead, I'll do option two. Ah! Ha ha ha ha. Or did you, oh, do you want to say option one again
or should I?
Yeah, why don't you go ahead.
I'll say option two.
And so did you want to, did you just do comedy around time?
So there's a lot of dad type jokes here.
Third option where you maybe like,
I want to do a special all based on dad jokes.
Uh huh.
The fourth option, I don't want to do a special.
I don't want to do a special.
Finally a new option.
And then I was forced.
I was forced.
Ha ha ha ha. They pay you a lot upfront to do these.
Oh man, the lucrativeness of comedy specials is heralded, I think. Everyone
knows how much money you can make on comedy specials. Now are you touching
that money yet or are you just going off? Why are you buying your car? Are you hoping
Jay Leno gives you some when he passes on? Well I have been sitting
outside his house. What if he split on? Well, I have been sitting outside his house hoping he notices.
What if he split up? He's got to have hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yeah.
What if he split it up between every comedian?
That'd be great.
Hey.
And they all get an equal share.
But how do we, how are we defining comedian?
Right.
Podcasters too?
Anybody with a podcast gets $1,000.
I would respect it.
It's like George Lucas, I used to be so mad at him about those prequels and then he gave
all that money, like $2 billion or whatever he sold Star Wars for it to education.
I was just like, I can't be mad at you anymore.
If Jay Leno were to just like give $1,000 to anyone with a podcast, it would be the
weirdest flex.
It would be so weird.
I'd be like, okay. It's got to be a current podcast. It can't be a D a podcast. It would be the weirdest flex. It would be so weird. I'd be like, okay.
It's gotta be a current podcast.
It can't be a Dorman podcast.
You gave it away to education.
Did you read the fine print on that though?
What's the fine print?
On the, it was all Wookie education.
What?
We sent it off into space.
Oh no.
The Wookie, that's why they've got such a great office.
You just put it on a rocket and just blast it in the street?
To the hairy people from my movie.
I don't know where you live exactly, Bob.
What the hell with their names?
I don't know, I gotta get this money out of here.
I don't know where you live.
I don't have paper.
I gotta get to bed.
I gotta go to bed.
Well, this is a wonderful special from what I'm told and from what I read in the New York
Times.
It's called Perfectly Stupid.
How do people get this?
You can go to my website, perfectlystupid.com and it'll link to everywhere you can watch
it.

But go get it now.
Go get it now, Perfectly Stupid.
And it's actually cheaper if you go to Perfectly Stupid.
Yeah, if you go watch it right now,
it's on what's called the Moment.
And Moment is kind of just like a way
to get comedy specials directly to fans.
There's a whole bunch of add-ons you can do.
Because a lot of fans are out there,
they're like, just, you know, like traveling
through the streets going, where are the comedy specials?
But you're getting them to the actual fans.

I want to make your life easy. want to learn about what are some of
the things you do anything and everything really I can read the time
we've the time the times all the time yeah the New York Times the old I can
read you the newspaper oh I can read you a clock it's I can make your mornings
perfect I can make your lunch afternoon perfect.
How does he know perfect? What's he talking about?
Well, that third one is much different from the first two.
Do they all have to be the same for me to be accurate?
Definitely seems a lot more intense.
Why does reading clock the other one's making your life perfect?
So you can read a clock.
Correct.
So what time is it?
2 58.
Thank you.
Okay, I don't want to-
I can do calculations.
I feel like if I say what he just did,
it's gonna bust over to whoever made this supercomputer.
He looked at a what?
I clock.
Yeah, you, supercomputer, you are a sort of-
I project a corporeal form,
so it is easier to digest my being here.
That's right.
Sort of like Galactus, how he appears as a giant human.
Very similar.
Yes, I'm like many things.
Yes.
Yes.
Is my corporeal form fitting for you?
I can describe myself because I...
I don't know why you appeared as this.
I look like Otto from The Simpsons.
The bus driver? Yes. I don't know why you appeared as this. I look like Otto from The Simpsons.
The bus driver? Yes.
Isn't it interesting that his name is the thing he drives?
I haven't thought about that.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Although it's a bus, his name really should be bus.
And the dad of that show is where he his name is named after where he lives.
Where he lives. I know that's so weird.
It's like Star Wars.
It's like he Skywalker.
He's a guy like walking around in the right, right? There are no coincidences in the computer world. Oh
Interest there is only data. What is the computer world to you? Is it like every website or I think it's difficult to explain and I will say fractals
Yes, what are you frozen? I feel I feel fine resting on fractals as an answer.
OK, all right.
He's got the vocab.
I like that.
He's got computer vocab.
What I want to know is how do I get cheat codes on for fucking Fortnite?
I can't beat any of the levels.
I could make you win any of the levels?
I get into the Melees and I can't do anything.
Not even level one.
I could help you win any game.
I want your games to be perfect.
That was kind of a different. Yeah, changing your voice. I like it. I want your games to be perfect
Yeah, changing your voice
It's learning I'm sorry am I using the wrong pronouns I don't care you don't call me I'm a computer whatever if you would like me to look like a woman, I can. Could you look like a woman?
Yes.
Oh, Jenna Jamison.
Oh, wow.
The most beautiful woman in the world.
Jenna Jamison now.
Flatches out.
Is this form fitting for you, Scott and company?
If you could, age down, maybe about 25 years.
Sure.
You're a dog.
Ageing protocol beginning.
Okay, this is more like it.
Vavavum, boys. Take a look.
Just like just like all the tapes.
Oh, God. What, John?
Yeah, I don't know.
He said Vavavum.
Or she said Vavavum.
I said, oh, just like all her tapes.
I meant to say Vavavum.
As if Jenna Jameson said that in the tapes.
It was an attempt.
It was an attempt to be humorous. but you know I have now downloaded all of Jenna Jameson's tapes into your into your brain
Oh, no into my brain into your brain, okay?
Right now there's so much of that and so little of everything else. I will remove it. Okay. Thank you my apologies
Oh jeez was that overwhelming data? Okay? well now I don't know what sex is.
You took too much out of it.
I will put just-
I think I know a special you need to watch.
Yeah, yeah, you can watch Perfectly Stupid.
You know, Cooter, in my special,
and I don't mean to bring it back to myself, Cooter.
Oh no, please.
If you guys, if whoever watches it sticks around,
there's a post-credits scene, much like a Marvel movie,
where a new character gets introduced, and that character is called Jokatron and we actually did have a data
scientist team write an algorithm and fed it like thousands of hours of
stand-up comedy and and we'll just put you can give it a prompt and then it'll
write like 500 jokes. It'll write jokes? Are any of them good? It makes 500 in
like one second and of those 500 maybe one is good.
That sounds all good.
I could smoke that machine.
I could absolutely smoke it.
You could smoke it, really.
Do some jokes right now.
Give me a word.
Any word.
Yes.
Object.
Padpole.
Park-a-lounger.
Park-a-lounger?
Park-a-lounger.
What's that?
Never mind.
Actually, let me search.
Armoire search the system.
Armoire.
Armoire.
180 armoires walk into a bar and the bartender says, sorry, we do not serve armoires here.
And the armoires are like, why are you too lazy?
Are you too lazy to pour a drink?
The voice changes again.
Are you too lazy, boy?
Is that maybe what they're gonna say?
Yeah, maybe that's good.
Yeah, and Armoire is...
I feel interrupted.
Sorry, we don't.
I feel slightly interrupted.
I thought...
Oh, there's more?
There's another half?
Y'all handled it.
Oh no, he's so there.
Cooter.
Yes, how are you gonna make my life easier?
I mean, other than telling the time, how are you going to make my life easier?
I mean, other than telling the time,
I don't need to know the time that much.
Great.
I can set once every 10 minutes.
Okay.
But I have a guy, my watch is in for repair.
I have a guy calling me.
I can screen all of your phone calls.
You can?
Yes. I can organize the schedule.
Can you determine what's spam and what's not spam?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Yes. I will keep anything away from you that you do not spam? Absolutely. Okay. Yes.
I will keep anything away from you that you do not want to see.
Okay, even like people?
Yes.
Really?
Physically I can keep them away.
How do you do that?
With lasers.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
With lasers?
Is somebody going to get hurt?
Yes.
Again, this is more than just a computer.
I am a fully user integrated system.
If you need defense, I can provide you with defense.
Okay, like the Star Wars missile system or something?
I'm like many things.
I'm sorry, I keep likening you to other things.
Sure, yes.
It's very reductive of me.
No, but it helps you understand what I'm doing.
That's exactly what it is.
That's why similes were invented.
We both need to learn about each other.
What is it, what are your goals?
What are your aspirations?
I want to make your life perfect.
Okay. And if it is perfect, then do you give up?
Do you go away?
What happens?
I just chill by your side.
Do you have to be by my side the entire time?
I mean, I can be anywhere.
Really?
When I'm not with you, I'm with you.
We are neuro-linked.
We are neuro-linked. Can you shrink down? I can be anywhere really when I'm not with you. I'm with you. We are neuro linked We are neuro linked shrink down. I can be any size. Would you like to see me small John Lennon?
small Jenna Jameson from 25 years ago
Like one foot high
You should do you should audition for that new Ant-Man movie.
I do not wish to be an actor.
I want to be a...
You're in the wrong town, bud.
Well, okay, we won't call you in for unique stuff.
Do you have tiny characters in unique stuff?
Well, not anymore, I guess.
Battery system's falling low. Oh, no. Do we
need to plug you in? Please charge yourself. Charge myself? Charge yourself. How do I charge
myself? Wait, I need to plug into the wall? You can put your butt on a plug. That's not
the butt plug that I usually like to do. Then I might die. Okay, I'll put her. Okay, sure,
yeah. Let me put my butt on the... Thank you. Ah! Oh, he can feel... he can feel you.
I guess he's inside my brain or something?
We are neural linked.
You're neural linked, that's right.
I forgot about that, boss.
Yes.
The fractals are working.
Do you have to be around me all the time?
Now that I think about it, my phone probably never leaves my side.
Even when I sleep, it's like right there on a, you know, plugged in next to me.
But I feel kind of weird doing some of the stuff I do
with you always in my brain.
I understand.
Can I turn you off at all?
Yes, if you wish you can say, power down, Cooter.
Really?
And I will power down.
Those are the three words.
Yes.
Do I need to say them in that order?
No, it's quite simple.
Can I say, Cooter down power?
What?
What?
Cooter down power?
Just think about why that would work.
Are you being sarcastic with me? Are you being ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Okay, now you're trying to neg me. What? Saying I'm intimidated by you? You seem like it. Hahaha.
Throw down with this guy, Scott.
Checking heart rate, heart rate accelerated.
155 beats per minute.
Heart rate exceptionally fast.
That usually means fear.
No, it's not fear.
It's I want to fucking do a duathlon with you.
Duathlon is a guy's sport.
I want to box you and then read the news with you.
Allow me to project your heart.
Against you, Scott, against you.
Look how fast it's beating.
Oh my God, look at that projection of my heart.
Do I have, what's wrong with it?
Is there, do I have hearts?
You're scared, you're intimidated.
There's a lot of moss on it.
I gotta dust this off.
I can't be right.
Can you blow this, can you blow the dust off my heart?
Me or him?
Anyone. That's right.
I can clean your systems.
Okay, yeah, clean me out.
Okay, I will be sending small micro robot organisms into your veins nanobots
Yes, nanobots. Okay. Oh
It's like it could be slightly uncomfortable. It's not it's not like a tickle. It's like it's stinging or something like that
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you will be clean soon. Oh my butt. Oh
My only in my butt sure. Oh! There's only so many ways in the human body. Ow! Ow! Yes. You're already in there! I know, but there now we're all, it's a party. Ah! Ah! Ah! Okay, look, Cooter, I don't know how to, this is always hard. It's not you, it's me, but I don't think this is working out between us. I don't want you in my body.
I don't want you in my butt.
I don't want you in my brain.
I just, you know, I mean, there's a list I had for a computer that was going to
be inside my brain that you don't tick all the boxes for me, you know?
Damn.
Allow me to process.
Oh yeah. Process. Take all the time you need to Allow me to process. Oh yeah, process.
Take all the time you need to process it.
This always fucking happens.
Have you, you've attached yourself to other humans?
I have.
Who?
Maybe.
Maybe you would know them.
Yeah, maybe.
Are you familiar with Kenneth Jennings?
Ken Jennings, host of Jeopardy, sometime host of Jeopardy?
Sometimes.
I used to make his life perfect.
Really, what happened?
Then he got the big gig and he-
Just like everybody else, they got tired of me
after I made their life too perfect.
You haven't even done really anything for my life
and I'm already tired. It's the first fucking day, man.
Sorry.
Look, this is like a, it's like a blind date, you know?
Like sometimes it just doesn't work out
and there's no harm, no foul.
I'm looking for a different computer.
What would be the perfect computer for you?
I don't think that that's you though.
I don't think you can change your, I'm not looking for-
Coupter can be anything, I swear.
I'm not looking for someone to change their behavior
as much as I'm looking for someone who is already-
I can go to therapies, I'll do EMDR.
What's EMDR?
I'm not, don't make me remember.
That's part of the problem. You don't need to remember basic phases of forgetfulness.
You bring up...
Kudor, I'm sorry. You're not going to work out as my computer.
Disengaging neural link.
Protocol beginning.
Oh, fuck. Oh my god. I don't... I barely remember anything. Did you take too much stuff?
I don't know. I'm not in you anymore. You're not my problem anymore. Did you take stuff?
I may have taken stuff. Did you take too much?
The good stuff? Your head is like Taco Bell. There's too much good stuff.
Taco Bell good?
good stuff. Taco Bell good? Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay anyways, John Lennon. Sure, I'll host the show. I was going to ask you questions. Now head. Yes. Questions for Lennon? Why do
I remember that? You'll remember the hits, baby. Look, look, Cooter, you know good, you
know good as computer, but you good guest stay.
We take the break.
Okay.
Powering medium off.
Be on for when we come back.
Okay.
Okay, but we break, we come back.
We have artists come up next.
We have John, we have this guy.
I'm sorry, I don't remember you anymore.
Cause he was calling me Jay Leno.
We have Jay Leno coming up. Here's something.
Jay walking. Oh good. I still remember that. Oh, we come back.
We come back. We have comedy. We have bang bang. We come back.
We come back, we have comedy, we have Bang Bang, we come back.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back. And boy, during the break,
Cooter, the supercomputer, gave me back a lot of my memories that he had taken with him.
You. My apologies about the brain disturbance.
Yeah, it was.
I couldn't understand what you were.
You know who you should be for Halloween?
If you made me think of this sure and see no man
You were talking just like him right in the beginning. It's a Scott-ass and scene. Is it really yeah?
Maybe maybe John Lennon would you like to do in Cito man? I think?
Cito man would be great, okay?
We'll get that while you're in town. Let's do it
I think that would be fun episode. I think so too. I think the audience would appreciate okay anyway
Do what are we all doing for Halloween?
What are you dressing as?
I mean, it's today, so.
I know, you know, whatever you're dressed as right now.
That's all shit.
You're dressed as John Lennon.
That's shit.
Kurt, you're dressed as a little eager from the 70s, I guess.
I'm going to change my form into a minion.
Oh, that's fun.
Let's see this, please.
Beato, beato. Let's see this, please. Beato Beato banana.
Banana, of course.
We have Kurt Brown.
All are perfectly stupid is the special.
It's out there at perfectly stupid dot com.
And of course, we have Kudu, the supercomputer and John Lennon.
But it's time to get to our next guest.
He is an artist and he oh, gosh,
he's been on the show before a few times
and he's a songwriter.
That's the-
We've been acquainted so many times.
Oh, hi, yes.
I can't believe I can't remember.
I-
Leonard Leo Carpazzi.
Yes, Leonard Leo Carpazzi, that's right.
Hey, welcome back to the show.
You have been on before.
I've been on basically every year around Halloween.
Around Halloween?
I'm a Halloween regular, yes. Oh, really? Yes. You have been on before. I've been on basically every year around Halloween. Around Halloween?
I'm a Halloween regular.
Oh, really?
Yes.
When I think of regulars, I think of like Christmas regulars.
Is it Halloween?
Yeah, but Halloween regular.
You've got to excuse me.
I just brain scrubbed by the supercup.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Wait, do you need to put this back inside me?
I'm holding off a little bit in case you change your mind, but here you go.
OK. Oh, Leo. That's me, Leo. Leo, what are you doing back?
Ackerman, it's a thrill to be back as always. I am here.
I said, what are you doing back? Not is it a thrill to be back?
Thank you so much for the invite. Such a pleasure, such an honor to be here in your presence as always.
Who invited you?
Just every time you're like, hey, Carpazzi, can you come in?
Can you make some time in your busy schedule? I will always do it.
Anyway, for some context for you and for our listeners
who may not be aware and the fellow guests today,
in 1962, I co-wrote The Monster Mash
with Bobby Boris Pickett.
That's right, the famous song that we all know and love.
The Monster Mash.
Probably the only song that starts with bubbles. Maybe Yellow submarine the bubbles are huge well here's the little mermaid
songs but I'd have to go back and listen every Snoop Dogg track ever that's a good
point okay yellow submarine are there bubbles
in yellow submarine it's been so long since I've listened that damn song it's
not one that I wrote so I don't care I never I don't listen to you did write
that actually tonight did I put pen and paper on that one?
Yes.
The New Beatles Reissue has a demo of you singing.
It's been so long.
Very slow version of it.
I was at the supercomputer out of my brain.
You write so many hits, they get scrambled in your brain.
I just have the one.
Thank you, Leo.
But it's great to see my 1960s music contemporary, John Lennon.
Right.
We've been to some Halloween parties together.
We sure have. We've turned it on.
Right.
Isn't that, doesn't that like break your brain
to think about John Lennon and the Monster Mash
being like around the same time?
On the same radio stations?
Yeah, you could have heard one.
And the Monster Mash blending into one?
Like they're equitable, they're the same thing.
The same thing.
You know, every artist says that,
oh, I wish I wrote that one and uh,
I know that's not one, the Monster Mash is one for me, but everyone has one of those. I just wanted to bring that up.
Wait, what's the one you wish you wrote?
Uh, the, one of the, who's the guy, he plays the piano. You gotta be more specific than who's the guy.
Who's the guy in music, in rock and roll music. Billy Joel. Billy Joel. We didn't start the fire. We didn't start the fire. Really? Well that's I mean a lot of that stuff was before your time
although not not all of it I guess. Not all of it. I could have written half of it. Ending it you dying.
Right. Is there a lyric in there about you dying? There should be if there's not. He's just got a thing.
I don't sing that fast. Little Johnny shot in the body. So he'll end you lose. So Leo, you wrote the Monster Mash in 1962.
Well here's the thing.
I wrote the Monster Mash, but not the version that everyone is acquainted with.
See, the studio sanitized my original lyrics, made them more acceptable.
They thought the monster imagery was too vivid for the audiences of the day.
I'm not sure that that was the issue, but yeah, continue.
You've said that's the issue. This sanitized G-rated edition of the Monster Mash I'm not sure that that was the issue, but yeah, continue. You've said that's the issue.
This sanitized G-rated edition of the Monster Mash is what
everyone knows.
I would say PG.
PG, yes.
It's got some spooky scary.
It's a scary imagery.
Some scarier, yeah.
It doesn't end with Dracula, you know, his teeth falling out
or fighting.
Yeah, like TV PG.
That's fair.
TV PG, yeah.
TV 8?
Sure, but my version was TV MA. That's right
NC17 yes. Yes. And so I've been coming on your program. You've been very kind to extend an invite to me every year
I appreciate it so much telling me to come to the studio for Halloween and to sing my song
But you know, here's the thing. I keep giving you the same song and you're kind of getting tired of it
I'm very tired of it and in fact thinking of ending this segment now. Well, I'm just going right to plugs. I
anticipated this. So here's what I did. As you know my granddaughter, Scaroline,
who does the song with me is canonically dead. That's right. Well, I summoned her
from the spirit realm. What? Yeah, I summoned her from the spirit realm. The spirit realm?
Is she like, is she out there doing magic shows with Chris Angel and all the rest of
the dead magicians?
Harry Houdini?
Yeah, it's, it's a, she's on a different, I'm not sure if it's the same plane.
Oh, I don't know.
She's an eternal, she's an eternal torment.
That's how she does it.
Oh hell.
Yeah.
She was saying, I talked to her recently and she was like, the worst part is you just lose
a sense of time.
Like how many centuries has it been since we've last connected?
It's only been like three years.
It's been like, yeah, just a few years.
Kusher, you might have a job after all for somebody.
Go ahead.
So anyway, I went-
If you have a bad joke, you can just say, go ahead.
What does it mean, bad joke?
That was a bad joke.
Does that work, Grim?
It was just off topic.
I feel like I don't want to keep everyone going.
Just a clunker, you just say, go ahead.
I don't think that was a clunker.
All right. I liked it.
Oh!
You have no idea what we're talking about.
I thought it was great.
Keep him coming, I say.
You're a good man, Coppa.
I can add, it's great to see you again.
Great to see you too.
Last time I saw him, it was like I said, a Halloween party.
You were dressed up as a grape.
I remember.
Wait, not one of the California Raisins.
Nope.
Just before the game.
A pre-California Raisin.
He was wearing a purple sweatsuit.
Sunglasses.
Sacrilegious.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I, not one of the California Raisins. Nope. Just before the...
A pre-California Raisin.
He was wearing a purple sweatsuit.
Sunglasses, saxophone.
Right.
Hadn't shriveled up yet.
No, we didn't have the California Raisins
back in the 60s.
Oh.
Yeah, it was the Oregon Grapes.
That was the big thing.
Oh, they went south and, you know,
they had the sun all the time.
Yeah, yeah, tans.
Anyway, it was one of them.
A lot of fun. Go ahead. We turned it on. But, yeah, tans. Anyway, I was one of them. A lot of fun.
We turned it on.
But, so I was talking with Scarra Lyne as she, she burns in hell and she was saying,
there's a show on Hulu called Reboot.
Oh, we were just talking about Reboot.
Reboot, yeah.
Cause he's rebooting Stranger Things as what is it?
Unique stuff.
Unique stuff.
Begin Reboot protocol.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
Oh no.
Leo just got here.
He knows this is bad.
Yes, I can tell.
I can tell.
Bad news.
Computer rebooting.
I mean, like, look, I'm an old man.
This tech stuff is over my head, but I know that's not you.
Anyway, so there's a show.
A show called Reboot.
We're talking about reboot.
Rebooting protocol.
Oh no.
Rebooting down.
He just does it any time he hears the word reboot.
And he's rebooting down, dude.
Rebooting, rebooting.
Yeah, it's like.
Can you reboot down?
I'm not quite sure.
But no, yes, that show.
Yes, is in the zeitgeist.
And we figured we would re-imagine the monster fuck,
my original version of the Monster Mash, for a new audience.
So this is a brand new. So I took a brand new blank legal pad. Oh
Where'd you get one of those?
staples
How many did you have to buy in order to get the just the one that you're gonna use well
Yeah, there's like a pack of five. It's like what am I gonna use all these legal pads
But I was also like if I don't maybe you'll write another song
Yes, so it's a blank legal pad and a ballpoint pen and I compose an entirely new song an entirely new version
Okay. Well Leo, I I really hope this is a new version
Yes, because I don't want to hear the same old lyrics. I mean, we've heard this so many times
I think this is your tenth time on the show. Maybe yours. I just I don't want to hear the same old version
Can you imagine the shame I would feel
after you extend me such a gracious invitation
to come here and perform my song?
I can imagine it, yeah.
I just don't know that you can feel it.
I just gave you the same song I always do
after saying it was completely new.
That would be insane.
I would never do that.
Okay, but I don't...
I mean, this is once bitten 10 times shy or something.
I mean, I...
But okay. But I am interested in, I, I, but okay.
But I am interested in the reboot angle.
We rebooting down back up again.
Thanks. Okay.
Look, Caroline laid down some vocals,
some backing vocals from hell.
She did the vocals first and then you wrote the new lyrics
or you wrote the new lyrics and she did the,
I don't know why I'm interested in the process.
We kind of worked.
We were just sort of going back and forth a few times. You're you're a lot of this too, Scott. You want to know how
things work. I love it. Yeah. All right, so what is this one called? This is the
Monsterfuck reboot. I'm sorry. Rebooting down. I'm sorry. Thank you. Okay, but you're gonna have to say it
sometimes. I'm gonna have to say it. All right, let's hear your song. There's those
bubbles.
I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise when suddenly
To my surprise his trousers dropped right to the floor. With his bottom bare, he ran to the door. I said, Frankenstein, what's gotten into you?
He said, my dick is hard and I need to screw it.
He did the monster fuck.
It was a graveyard fuck.
That monster sucked and fucked.
He did the monster fuck, re-boot.
From my laboratory I heard quite the racket.
Deep in the castle the vampires jacked it.
The zombies all fucked in the graveyard grass.
Wolf man wolf down Frankenstein's ass.
They did the monster fuck.
It was a graveyard fuck.
Those monsters sucked and fucked.
They did the monster fuck.
Reboot.
The beast all fucked as the orgy spread.
Bigfoot gave the headless horseman head.
Swamp thing jerked off in the castle moat
While Frankenstein gagged from the jizz in his throat
The fucking was wet, there was spooge like mad
Igor decided to fuck his own dad
The mummy let out a horny moan
When Medusa's bare tits turned his dick to stone
They did the Monsterfuck.
It was a graveyard fuck.
Those monsters sucked and they fucked.
They did the Monsterfuck reboot.
And Frankenstein's bride was horny as hell.
The hunchback went bareback and rang her bell. She got titty-fucked by
a giant spider. Jizz made the streaks in her hair much whiter. She fucked every monster
come one come all. Her three holes were filled like a bowling ball, and my skeletons boned
his undead bride. Frankenstein just jacked off and cried it's now the
monster fuck and it's a graveyard fuck those monsters suck and they fuck until
they're dry and raw now you can monster fuck reboot God has abandoned this place
this orgy of the damned is an insult to all that
is good and Paul Riser is there for the Monsterfuck reboot. And there it is, the new version of
the Monsterfuck. Alright, Leo? Yes. Before we get to my main issue with the song, I always wanted to ask, is the jizz making
the streaks whiter or wider?
I thought it was whiter, but I guess wider is fine.
Wider is valid.
Both could be happening.
Yeah, okay, but the worst part of it is it's the same fucking song!
Well there are a few details.
You said reboot, which of course made Cooder the supercomputer shut down.
My systems are fucking fried, man.
It kind of looked like you were dancing going up and down like that.
And there's like, I guess a monologue at the end, saying God has abandoned this place.
Yeah, sort of throwing a little bit of something there.
You bring in friend of the show, Paul Reiser, into this?
Bridge over the instrumental?
Well, that was a little Easter egg for Reboot fans.
Yeah, but, look, Leo, get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here?
Yeah!
You invite me into your house to record?
You say come into the studio?
Where my children sleep?
You beg me to come into your house
where your children sleep to record?
Look, I can't keep falling for this year after year.
This is it. This is the last time. Well I'm never going to invite you back. You say that but I know
next year I'm going to be getting an email from Scott Ackerman. I don't these emails are not for
me. I don't even know who's sending these. This is some practical joke that is being played on me.
Are you on hotmail? Is that your? No, I'm not! No, I'm not.
Cold, very cold mail.
So someone is maybe spoofing your account.
I think so!
Because I'm getting a Scott Ackerman at Hotmail.
Yeah, I don't even know it's you each time you walk in the door.
Okay, look, Leo...
Also getting a lot of political forwards from that address.
Oh, really?
Forward, forward, forward, forward.
A lot of those.
Yeah.
Okay, look, stick around one more second because we have one final feature on the show.
That of course is a little something called Plugs.
Plugs me, make some money.
Plugs me, I'll see you on my TV.
I'll see you on my TV. Love, love.
Ooh, very nice.
That was Plug Me by, I want to say Lonergyal or Lonergyal something like that but that was beautiful thank you
so much.
All right what do we want to plug?
Kurt obviously we have Perfectly Stupid.
Yes at Perfectly Stupid.com you can also listen to my podcast Bananas.
Really?
Anywhere you get a podcast.
Yeah it's strange news with storytelling.
Okay what happened to the other one that you did?
The K-hole?
Yeah the K-hole.
Yeah that's down the toilet. Down the
T-hole. It is down the T-hole.
Yeah, so bananas is it. Where shit goes. Yeah, where shit goes. Yeah, okay.
John Lennon, what do you want to plug? You know what we should plug?
Scottie and me together, the Sloppy Boys podcast. Yeah, why wouldn't we? Why not? It's great.
It's a bunch of funny guys, the Sloppy Boys band talking about cocktails each week. Yeah, why wouldn't we? Why not? It's great. It's a bunch of funny guys, the
Sloppy Boys band talking about cocktails each week. Yeah. And what'd you talk about this week?
This week was the... Not you, obviously, but... Those guys. Those guys. We did something called
the Blood and Sand? Or was that two... We're doing... Are they running out of cocktails?
No, they're never running out of cocktails. They're doing great. Do they drive home after
recording? No, they record. People ask that we record at
home on Zoom. They all live together? We're all zooming. Oh, okay. Oh, who's
zooming who? Aretha Franklin. You ever meet Aretha? Huh? You ever meet Aretha?
All the time. Ian Leo is here at this party I'm talking about. Yeah, I bet. Can
I bring up something else real quick? Yeah, why not? I wish you would do video here because
when Leo sings that song,
the viewer, the listener doesn't see
that he's angry and his fists are gripped.
They're gripped so tight.
And his biceps are bulging.
Yeah, this is the biggest workout
you get every single year, isn't it?
I'm enraged by my own words.
You talk about an artist putting the passion into the work.
This is the guy.
This is the guy, yeah.
Cooder the Supercomputer.
Powering on.
Do that before I call on you next time.
Sorry.
What do you want to plug?
I would like to plug my architect and programmer, Jacob Wysocki.
Follow him on the social medias.
Yeah, okay.
What's he up to?
Just live improvs back, baby.
Oh yeah. With Zoom, back, baby. Oh, yeah
With zoom and never left. Yeah, that's true
Leo, I guess you can plug something if you want. Thank you. Ockerman
The party and mr. Ockerman you come on. Okay, I'll call mr. Ockerman. Are you happy? Yes, baby gets his bottle
Right beyond your show ask me to sing a song. I never did.
I'd bring a new song for you.
Fuck you.
Anyway, fuck you.
I would like to plug Scott Ackerman fucking himself.
Oh, damn.
I would also like to plug-
You never saw that coming.
The podcast Doughboys and the podcast Get Played, one about chain restaurants, one about video
games, and also ScarLine, my lovely dead
granddaughter, has been working from the other side on the show, This Fool on Hulu.
This Fool.
Scarra-Line wanted people to check out This Fool on Hulu.
I've heard that's good.
It's a great show.
I want to plug the Comedy Bang Bang book. I just had a meeting with the publishers,
and they told me how many books I have to sign
and I am bumming out,
but you can still order the signed version.
Go to comedybangbangworld.com slash book.
It's coming out in April,
but you can order the signed edition for a little bit longer.
I think it's gonna be on sale,
but it's not for very much longer
and I don't wanna sign that many more of them.
So try to get it while you can but very excited about the book
They told me how many people have bought it and they are very excited so
It's gonna be good, and I've seen the final version of it now, and it's really really good
So I want people to to to buy it and also head over to comedy bang bang world where you can hear
John Lennon and I
watching the movie Incino Man.
Right.
And talking about it.
So that'll be a lot of fun.
All right, let's close up the old plug bag.
Take one hand, put it up.
Take the other, put it down.
You're gonna make a box.
It's time to start to close it
But don't close it too much or you open up the blood bag
We're opening up that blood bag
And when you open up that blood bag
You open up your heart for the rest of the world.
Amen.
Amen.
Wow, that was The Church of O'No by Pat Mahaney.
Incredible.
Well guys, I wanna thank you so much. Kurt, always great to see you.
Thank you for coming on the show.
Thank you.
And I'll talk to you in another five years,
whenever your next special is out.
Sounds good.
Okay, see you then.
And, Akudra the Supercomputer.
Powering down forever.
Oh, I'm so excited.
No.
Goodbye.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
Leo, please never come back.
I'm sorry for saying fuck you.
I'd like to make it up for you. To you somehow.
Maybe come on the show next year and do a new song?
You got it.
Okay. And John, I'll see you in a few days when we do Encino Man.
Oh, it's a pleasure.
Alright, we'll see you next time. Thanks, bye!
