Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you so much to Tall F. Pumpkins for that wonderful catchphrase admission, Tall F. Pumpkins.

And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang, indeed. This is episode number 850.50. That is right, 850 episodes of Comedy Bang Bang podcast, including approximately 800 of those. I have had no dings on them, as I realize I need to put it on, Do Not Disturb. And there we are. It's on. this will be a dingless podcast. This will be a dingless podcast today. Ding? God. Wait, Shimmy? Shimmy?

I'm just getting around. Shimmy, what are you doing here? Got to go? Oh, that's right. He really zipped right out of here. Very brief from Shimmy. Did you think that that catchphrase was meant to be read in a Jeff Foxworthy voice? I tried to give it a Jeff Foxworthy spin without a sort of tipping.

Your impressions are so subtle. Yes, too subtle. Some would say. Sorry, I just feel compelled to. stop in real quick to point out that it was me who taught you how to put your computer and do not disturb. So long. August Linz? Oh my God. And he's got to do.

What a delight. And he jumped right out of window. August, are you hanging in with Shibby today? What's going on? Yeah, he and I are taking a walking tour of Hollywood. Oh, got to go. Yes. I'll put you saying. Who knew those guys were buds? Isn't it cool when you realize that people you know independent of each other are

friends? It seems like August Lind, by the way, that was about a year ago he was on the show. I feel like he never went back to Germany. He's just been hanging out here, ran into Shimmie? I don't know. What's going on with the Schmeiderberg pretzel factory? I mean, without him there. We talked a lot about a biopic and all of that.

You were not here for that. I wasn't. I do want to introduce you, though, because even though some people may recognize your dulcid tones, we have new listeners to the show who may not know who you are. Let's go through your credits. Go. The league. And we're done.

The league. That movie that just went to Paramount Plus very early. on in the pandemic with Mark Wahlberg. Yep. Infinite. Infinite. That's right. Absolutely. It's, it's, it has penetrated the zeitgeist. It was not referring to the number of watches on Paramount Plus, apparently. And, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the voice of mucinx. Of course, of course, Mr. Mucous. Mr. Mucis. Is that his name? His name is Mr. Mucke. Has he ever been called that on the actual? And, and you know what? And please call him. Put some respect. Mr. Mewkus.

Should I take Mr. Mucas his name out of my mouth? I love to take Mr. Mucas out of my mouth. Oh, boy. Well, take some Mucinex. He has his own podcast called How Did This Get Made, which is right here on the Earwolf Network. Please welcome back to the show, Jason Manzukas. 850 episodes. Can you imagine.

Wow, wow, wow. Doing that many of anything. Boy, we got old. Yeah, really. It's no good. How is that? 800. Think about that 850 episodes.

You know, I don't like growing old. But I'm glad that I did. Oh, nice work. You know what I mean? I don't like growing old, but I'd love to watch you walk away. Hey, Shetty. I thought you were walking away. Oh, no.

I'm getting around again. All right. Can I see your butt as you leave? Sure. Get a good look. I think these guys are stuck in the yard. I don't know what they're still doing here. We keep saying they got to go.

I think they're skinny dipping in the pool. Oh, okay. That's why his butts out. That's fine with me. I got to go. I didn't know August Lipp was still here. It's not an airport. No need to announce your departure.

They're not a ride. They're not announcing their arrivals, just departures. Jay, it's great to have you back on the show. It's so excited to be here. Especially for 2024. Can you believe it? Yeah. We got here.

I remember when I was a kid. I thought the year 2000 seemed so far away. Yeah. In the Conan bit. Yeah. In the year 2000. I was so far away from that Conan bit. Yeah.

Yeah. And now here we are. Now here we are. We're almost as, as a quarter century past the year 2000. last Y2K. Remember what all of our computers completely crashed and we couldn't use them anymore? It was chaos for a good three years. We were plunged into an analog life. That's right. We were, we were forced to say ones and zeros to each other. Oh, that's it. One zero one one one zero one zero one zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. This is conversation. This is what two thousand to like two thousand two. You know, a lot of did I hear my name? Oh, who's this? Yes. Wait, new new arrival. I'm Robo shimmy.

Robo Schimmy. Let me guess. Got to go. Robo Shimmy. Wow. My gosh. Oh, hey, y'all. Oh, hey, Jimmy.

Did you see a robot? Yes. Did you create a mad robot? I did. I took a page out of Erkel's book. Oh, no. Just that one, I hope. Just that one.

No, I don't have a smooth French alter ego. So you, in fact, did do that. That's all to know about Erkel. Okay. Okay. I've been a robot all along. I've got to go out. Oh, my gosh. Maybe he just thinks he's wrong. We have to reframe everything about August Lint. I wonder if a shimmy created an AI that's going to take over the world. Wouldn't that be ironic? That would be pretty incredible. Or if like the robot shimmy is some sort of Terminator situation. Yes. A Terminator version of Shimmy. That's, oh, wow, how interesting. A Terminator version of Shimmy. Yeah. I don't think the Terminators were versions of anyone. Maybe. In the Terminator franchise. I bet they were a version of someone.

Oh, you think that Arnold, let me try to say his name one more time. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold. Was, Arnold. This is actually a good idea for a spinoff or a sequel or a franchise movie. The person that the Terminator was based on

and he doesn't like the machines and he fights them. Yes. And then suddenly he has to face off against himself. He resents what Cyberdine Industries. Oh, and he has to do face off? He has to do a face off. And then you find out that he swapped minds with the Terminator. So it's a face off and a mind swap?

Yes. It's a parent, not a parent trap. What is it? Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. Face off situation. Freaky Friday face off.

That would be incredible. Okay. I'm scrapping the Terminator idea. I just want to do freaky Friday face off where a mom. I know, I know. I got to go. I know.

I know. Please don't come back. Freaky Friday. Friday faceoff where... Is that girlfriend in a coma? Yeah. Freaky Friday face off where a mom and a daughter, they switch bodies, and then they do a face-off situation.

Why? Why do they do the face-off if they've already switched bodies? Because they're tired of not having their own face. Oh. So they're in each other's bodies, but they face swap so that they can go back to their normal lives? So it's like young Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, they swap bodies and then they switch faces, but then Jamie Lee Curtis has her. face on a very tiny body.

Yeah. And hold on. I think I just found out my new case. I was just going to say you just slowed down, you slowed down broke eye contract, broke eye contact. I broke our eye contract. We looked wistfully out the window. We did sign a contract where we just have to be locked eyes throughout the entire show.

That's why we don't like the fact that Chimmy in August Linderier. They keep distracting and tempting me to break eye contact. Exactly. Well, Jason, what's, This is Valentine's week, the week of love. You have a lot of people knocking down your door to... Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody's knocking at the door of the dungeon that I'm living in.

You do live in a dungeon, which is weird. I do live in a dungeon. Anytime I go to see you, I have to cross the moat. I live in a castle dungeon. Yes, there's a moat. There's a... I lower the drawbridge. I lower the drawbridge.

There's an ogre underneath it. You know what? That ogre turns out is very cool. Really? Yeah. I was, you know what? I judged an ogre by his cover. Cool like Shrek or?

Not cool like Shrek. See, that's a big thing for him. He's like, I'm not like Shrek. I'm cool like an actual cool person. Oh, okay. So you're like sunglasses and stuff like that? Sunglasses is a big part of it. Surf culture.

They should make ogre sunglasses. What's that? Nothing. What did you say? Thank you, Jimmy. We don't need you back here. Did you say they should make ogre sunglasses? Yeah.

Now, do I mean sunglasses for overs? Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Or sunglasses made of ogres. Yes. Okay. Like it's ogre bones. Are the frames? Ogre bones.

Those are beautiful frames. You put the ogre bones into my frame. Bye. Got to go. Jimmy, where are you? August is lost. Marco. They're on a tandem bike.

Michael. And they can't fight each of them. Just look behind you. One of us says, Marco. And the other says polo. We don't just keep. Both say Barco and Polo. August, just look over your shoulder.

He's right behind you on the tandem bite. I'm right behind him, Arna. Ogre bones is where we were. Sorry, go ahead. Sorry, we left off at ogre bones. Well, it is the week of love for all of our listeners out there. And we hope that it's... Will you flood the house with flowers?

Will you, you know, is it chocolate? That's not just Valenzuela. Valentine's Day for me. I treat every day as if it's Valentine's. And then on Valentine's Day, I ignore it. Do nothing. Savage. What a move. Power moves. Yeah. Well, Jason, it's great to have you. We do need to get to our first guest. Oh, wow. All right. I would love to. We actually, it's first guests, if that's okay. Why not? Because they're here together. We last spoke to them, I believe it was episode somewhere around 17. 99 or 801 somewhere around somewhere somewhere in that realm in that range they attended the coronation together

Of course Of the new king Of the new king Charles And we want to catch up with him See what's been going on But please welcome back to the show Byron I wanted to say Byron Donaldson

That's someone different Is it even a person? I think so Do you know someone? Yeah let me look at Byron Donald's It simply must be If you are Byron Donald's Please do get in touch

I guess it's not a person It's not a person There's no such a person Byron Donald's Donaldson Anywhere We're so glad we took We stepped down to research That combination of names

Has never been used There is a Byron Donald's And if he has a son I hope that he names him Byron Donaldson So this name would clear legal Yes that's right We could go ahead and use it Yes

With Byron Deniston not Byron Deniston has final draft open What do you? Oh yeah what's going on? And he's just, it's just the final draft 16. The cursor is going on, on a character's name that he hasn't put in yet. This is perfect. Byron Donaldson.

Please, feel free to, feel free to use it. But Byron Deniston is here and Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Yes, hello. Don't know I was introduced second. I am a lord. I beg your, well, I don't think I saved the best for last? Oh, Scotrick, you've done it again. Welcome back to the show, guys.

So is it okay if I call you guys, you are English gentlemen? Oh, yes. No, I enjoy your American colloquialisms and various casual conversation techniques. I think they're wonderful. Oh, for myself, I'd prefer chaps. Okay, chaps, yes, I like chaps too. These two chaps? Yeah, chaps. I'm turning up my volume. It's my microphone working. It is, but can you hear the... Turn up the headphones. Can you hear the two of, or the three of us, rather, but not yourself?

There's something like that. No, there I am. Oh, fine. Oh, very good. Fine. This whole time. Here in America, it is clockwise to go louder. I don't know what it is there. No, it's quite different to Jolly Oed England. Yes, yes.

It's Big Benwise to go. Big Benwise to go. Big Benwise to go. Big Benwise for louder. Ogre Bones and Big Benwise. Big Benwise balls. Please welcome Ogabones and Big Benwines. Oh, they'd never be on the same bill.

I know. It's a flight of fancy. I suppose, I suppose. That's something I would hear in Bad Cinderella by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Please. I'm so sorry to bring this. Don't bring it up. Do you think,

do you never want to hear the words bad or sinister? I never. Not in such close company. I'm not familiar with that. Is it one of your message works? There's no reason you should be, Byron. Did you know that Norman Jewison was not Jewish?

Here's why I bring it up. He recently passed away. Indeed. And he directed the film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Indeed. Which is so wildly anti-Semitic as a film. And I thought to myself, well, at least. Why would you say that?

No. One moment. What, what is it? What? How is it anti-Semitic? No, wildly anti-Semitic. I consider it anti-Semitic. Wildly, though.

What's this now? I thought it was just canon that the people who killed Jesus were Jewish. Yes, but they're not necessarily cartoonishly evil with giant leather balloon hats. I see. It's a bit over the top. You feel that the hats are anti-Semitic? Yes, I do. If it weren't for the hats, if they had regular hats, I think.

I think it'd be fine. Regular hats like what? Like a Sherlock Holmes? Oh, what do they call it? The deal stalker hat. Deerstocker. Wonderful. That's a good hat.

Byro. It was the 70s, darling. Yes, I mean. This is what wardrobe design was like then. It has nothing to do with religion. Also, if we're going to get into it, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was a collab between the Jewish people and the Romans. That's right.

It was Jewish people Times Romans. Exactly. Times Roman. I would say, I would say, I would say Romans parentheses, feet, period, the Jews, close parentheses. Roman's feet, boy, that's another one of my kings. These are all, these are all searches that are auto-filling on your computer. Roman from succession, of course. Oh, I thought maybe you're one of those bloke who thinks about Roman feet five times a day.

Guys, it's one, or chaps rather, it's wonderful to have you back. Now, I don't know that you knew each other on the last episode. or maybe you did, I can't remember it, but it seems like you're close friends. We don't necessarily measure time by episodes, you and I, but no, we don't. I thought of measure it by the days of my life. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But I, we met quite a while ago, I think, you know, I presented myself as a very wealthy backer of West End shows

and it took several months before you realized I wasn't, really, but by then we were friends. No, not at all. He hoped to go to shows for free so that he could see royals there. Yes. Ah, I see. I wanted to go on the nights when the royals would be there. Those were normally the premiere nights, I would think, or are they going like, you know, five weeks later when the cast is settled in? The Vericani. The Royals, they do wait a bit. Do they really? Yes. Let's let them find their feet, they say. Oh, interesting. Sorry too excited you. Not the Roman feet. Yes, but you know, I always wanted to be in the audience

when the royals were there with a clear view of the royals and simply watching them the entire time and never the show. That's your show. The show you're there to watch is them watching the show. That's right. That doesn't go down so well with Lord Weber's passing that Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber turn an entire seat around facing the other way. Yes, right in front of them. A row right in front of it. It's almost like when you ride a train, right? I wish he had requested it rather than just didn't. Well, yes, I brought some power tools along and I sort of uprooted the chair. Those are the best kind of tools for this kind of situation. Imagine the look of shock on the face of Betty Buckley walking out there and seeing one theater seat turned around with soul.

dust still on the floor for where he's saw it from its very mooring like it was some sort of bar with sawdust on the floor or something uh a draft house all right haven't you ever been to one of those with peanuts on the floor and sawdust and you ought to rethink that question i'm so sorry what do you are you do you do uh tipple uh oh i like a bit of sherry i like a brandy after a fine me um a port i love a dj thief a tony port Are all of your meals, fine meals, though, I would imagine? Yes, indeed. So you're just drinking, pour it all the time.

All the time. Oh, I feel like you are like a gout magnet. I feel like you've got gout all the time. So, like, such rich eating. I haven't been called that since I was in public school. This guy, total gout magnet. Here comes Andy, the gout magnet. Are you just eating sweetbreads every meal?

I love sweetbread. If it's inside an animal, get it inside me. Oh, here, here. yeah yeah so by a little bit of brain oh dear Byron you uh you attended the the coronation is that I think we were talking to you beforehand that's what I was trying to remember

or was it after I think it was prior to King Charles becoming came out of the song that you were going to yes have song and Lloyd Weber that's correct how did this all go over everything well it was it was fascinating I had to get into into sort of elaborate disguise

no you don't say yes just to sort of pass myself fall for someone else, but I sat with the Lord Weber and we had a lovely time. That's right. I think we, I think we saw pictures of this. You were next to Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Yes. In some sort of like, oh, with a mustache?

Did you have a mustache? Some sort of like Monty Python, Mr. Creosol costume. It was the disguisiest disguise. Well, anyone has ever seen. Pistachio Disguise? From from Master of Disguise. I don't know what. It's sort of like the, Mr. Turtle. The character's name is Pistachia

Disguisey. I see. I hired the absolute best makeup department available and Rick Baker did this for you. Yes, Rick Baker and the absolute best week maker. Did Rick Baker still have some of the clump stuff lying around? You're just like, look, I'm going to wear clothes over it. Clump stuff. The clubs.

You're not familiar with the clubs. Starring Eddie Murthy. They're Clubs. They're in that film. Yes, wonderful. So good, so good at the club. He did hire Rick Baker. And I thought it was.

a bit unusual that halfway through the singing of Blake's Jerusalem, Byron Deniston started to turn it to a werewolf. Yes, it was very elaborate makeup. It sort of self-turns into a were. Yes, it was stealing focus if you don't mind my saying. Well, you were

in London. True indeed. That's true. Where werewolf transformations are endemic. And my hair was perfect. Because I hired Scher's wig maker to make myself. She was just here a couple of weeks ago.

Really? Yeah. She doesn't. Her voice doesn't sound so good. I know. She was in the car. She doesn't remember how to sing, I got you, babe.

I know. Did Bob Mackey make all the clothes? Absolutely. And my sunglasses would buy Dolce, not Gabana. Oh. A solo site project. But the finest outfit.

But, and yet, people online immediately zeroed in on me and said that man's in disguise. We were sent. this picture a lot saying this is obviously Byron, everyone figured it out within two seconds. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I spent a fortune trying to look like anything, like a regular man.

Did you look up an image search of regular man? Yes, I had pictures all over the makeup trailer. Regular man, regular man. It looked like nothing so much as a woman disguised as a man. Yeah, it was like a reverse Mrs. Doubtfire situation. Well, it did. That is, that was

Baker's approach. First, he made me look like a woman. Then he made me look like a man because he said there's no way to really make a man. That's how he from a man. Only God made you it. Only God did he start with a man? Did he start with a rib? Yeah. Adam's Rib?

He starts with a man's rib. He builds a woman around it. Then he puts on male. I'm sorry, I skipped a step. First, I was an ape. Oh, okay. And then I was a woman and then I was a man. Now, the original planet of the ape style or Tim Burton

Planet of the Aes. Oh, no, original planet of the a star. Okay, of course. May I ask a question about the Planet of the Apes series of films? Sure. Why are they still happening? I, and it'll be a decade in between them. It feels like. Or more. Yeah, it just feels like there is no demand for them and then suddenly one will pop up of like, hey, this is coming out. People have been working for years on the years of their lives. Finally, it's out. Oh. I feel as if after the very first Planet of the Apes film, yes. Seemed all tight. wrapped up, no need to explore any further. You maniacs, you did it.

There is, shockingly, so many of that series. Not even the recent Matt Reeves series. The original film series, there's like eight of them. I tell you, I've always felt that beneath the planet of the apes was beneath the planet of the age. Oh, I see. Quite beneath. The same thing, I must say, the same thing with your Godzilla.

Why are they still? Yeah. After the first Godzilla movie, how do you ever say, let's bring you back? And now he's meeting King Kong again for the second time. And it's like, I don't know, what do they have to talk about? Also, Godzilla minus one. What does that title mean? What does that mean?

That's the new math that kids have to learn. I mean, Godzilla and Kong is like Godzilla plus one. Godzilla plus one? Yes. God table is ready. Your tickets, we'll call. But Godzilla minus one. Isn't there a concept film where you're sort of interacting with it?

Have you seen this, Byron? No, I've only imagined. Isn't it a content where he's on screen and you're sort of wearing a virtual reality headset and you feel that you're with him. Oh, is that what it is? I believe that is it. Oh, okay. And then I was wrong.

Are you a VR person? I'm, yes, absolutely. Wait, you're not real? No, no, no, I'm real. But I love to put on a new headset. I have no idea. Are we in your game right now? I'm not wearing the headset now.

Wait, is comedy bang, bang, canonically just a VR imagination of Byron Dennis. Royal Watcher, Byron Denison. This is like a St. Elsewhere situation. This is. I watched the pilot for St. Elsewhere recently. Pretty bad. Well, especially if you go backwards, knowing everything.

Yes. That it's just the imaginations of a child. It's hard to take serious. In the pilot, was Howie Mandel let off the chain at all? He was allowed to be funny. They're still finding it. All right. Howie Mandel, very hot comedian.

And they said, let's put him in this medical drama. And let's have him be the mildly amusing character. He is like the Patch Adams of this hospital. Yes. I don't believe that's true. He doesn't even go as far as Pach-Azum. No, he doesn't. He doesn't.

No, I remember tuning in saying, well, he'll be funny and he wasn't. Surely he'll do the search glove on the head. Of course he must. He's in our hospital. Of course, he must. Never did. Didn't he get to, he got some sort of injury from that, didn't he? Yes.

Like his nasal cavities or something like that? From doing the rubber glove on the head? Yeah. Yes. You know this for certain? He's got rubber nose. Oh, wow. And is that why he has OCD or hypochondri or whatever it is?

Germophobia. It destroyed the part of his brain that was okay with germs. Oh, if we could all do that. I'd love that. If I were to psychoanalys him, it'd be an enthroned psychologist for a moment. I believe my theory is that he put surgical gloves on his head so much. gave himself a terrible injury and then knew he could never go near a surgical glove again. It made him terrified of germs.

That's right, because say he gets sick and he needs to go under the knife. He's so afraid of them, he'll never be able to do it. Is that what you mean? The surgical gloves. Yes, because he's so afraid of germs, he doesn't want to get an infection because then he'll have to go to the doctor who's wearing. No, it's because he can't wear surgical gloves. And so he can't perform operations.

Yes. If you like, I think we've unpacked that. He has to think of his own skin as a pair of surgical gloves. I see. Which no one should be forced to do. I've heard that he has a second home. His family lives in one home

and he lives next door in a home that he keeps nice and tidy. And I think that's a wonderful idea. I mean, in a way, it's like just having your own bedroom. It's across the street. Is anyone allowed in the other home? I doubt it. What would be the point?

Yeah, really. Does he go into the other home? What's the point of having a family? they're like, well, they don't see each other, they're just neighbors. I want to know if this entire house is meant to be the paragon of neatness and orderliness, I'd like to have a look at it and see if it really is. Is it really the family that's holding him back from keeping his house clean, or is it himself? Do you think you'll become a Howie Mandel watcher eventually instead of just a royal watcher?

It's possible, I have to tell you, I've been since the coronation a bit bored with the royals. Well, I was going to say, are there any, like you've also, it seems like been spending quite a lot of time. state side here have you found any local people to decide to get into it sounds like you're getting into i mean howie mandel is kind of the king of comedy american royalty as close as it comes used to be the kennedys but i'm afraid the crown is rather charles they knew you zubbs you're careful you're talking about someone from the comedy community who are you oh Cheryl heinz's a husband we we protect our own that's a bad idea

she doesn't disagree she doesn't agree with him on everything she's been very clear she's okay with everything that's going on currently it seems like she just says look but my husband and I were different people we have different thoughts

he's insane I'm not or maybe I'm just someone who loves being married to an insane person you don't both have to be sane in order to be married right of course not so yeah I mean

there's not been a lot going on Byron Well, there wasn't for quite a while, and I began to get into, well, Lloyd Webber and I've been heavily into competitive jigsaw puzzling. Yes, this is the sort of the thing you do. Yes, we've been doing that. Watching other people do it or doing it yourself? Yeah, doing it else. All of it. I mean, we've jigsawed against one another. Indeed. Then we've teamed up to jigsaw against another team.

You jigsaw against one another. Is it like someone puts down a piece and the other person just takes it out? Yes, pretty much. And is there like a chess clock? There is a chess clock. hit the clock. Boom, boom. The other person just takes out, throws it away. Well, you can't throw it away.

You don't do that with chest pieces. Puts it in the pieces and mixes them up. Yes, but you are, then you put in a piece. It cannot be the same piece. Very important. Yeah, this is, this sounds fascinating. We've also started watching all the saw films together. Yes, they're amazing.

Oh, that jigsaw, what will he get up to next? He's cheeky. I know, I know. What are cheeky mugs on? I saw one through eight and then jigsaw and then saw X. Exactly. Interesting. So how far have you gotten? Into the jigsaw films?

How many are there? I think we're halfway through. There's 10. We're about halfway through. But you know what? I messed up and I watched the most recent one after watching the second. Chronologically, it comes in between one and two. It does, but I watch it between two and three.

Oh, Byron. I know. Why didn't you tell me? Well, I felt ashamed. How did you guys get into this? Did someone say, do you want to play a game referring to puzzles? And the other person said, oh, the saw films. I think it happened rather organically.

Yes, it did. I said, I mean, it's such a huge fan of jigsaw. And you said, well, then we should watch this. And then you were a bit confused. Yes. And I had meant the jigsaw puzzle, and you had meant the jigsaw character. And these are the sorts of things we get up to. It was the real chocolate and peanut butter for you.

Very much so. Are you living together? We're living. Now, we have houses next door to what another. Oh, okay. Mine is just the way I wanted. I had a spot of bother recently. You don't say.

There was a poltergeist in my home Oh wow Yes I had to hire an exorcist Here's what would happen I would be in my home And then I have Scripts lying around

And then I would go in I would leave a room Go into a room And then the script would be in a neat pile Can you imagine anything more chilling Than that It sounds to be like Byron was coming over and visiting

And just like rearranging Tidey enough But well Byron I was ashamed And didn't walk the role I have a thing for neatening up, I just do.

Well, I do appreciate it. But I did, I am terrified of the supernatural, so I did call an exorcist to come in. And I shouldn't have given him the credit, I suppose. It was Byron doing this all along. No, no, no, give him the credit because he did ask me to stop coming into your house unannounced. But I did find that he

after the fact, he was the worst exorcist I could have hired. No. Is he from hell? Wait, because he put something in there? No, he's just incompetent. I looked in the Guinness Book of World Records. Oh, I know that guy. Yeah, I know someone who works there.

He's the least successful exorcist. The least success. Usually they give it to most. Padre Davidee Benvenuto. Oh, that guy, yeah, we, our friend was talking about him. He's actually caused more people to become possessed than he has exercised demons. Remarkable. He's in the book.

Do you know, have you ever met this person that we're talking about either of you? I don't think so. Fred Guinness. Oh, Fred Guinness. I think I have met Fred Guinness. Yes, I don't remember quite how. Well, he was over the phone. He lives in Ireland.

I didn't think I've met him, have I? No, do you? I don't think so. We could call Fred Gimmis. He always takes the call. Yeah, let me see if I hear. Okay, let me, I'm dialing the phone. Beep, beep, beep.

Why are you saying beep boop while I'm dialing the phone? I was nervous the, the listener wouldn't know that we were making a call. They're hearing it as I call. Yeah. I thought you were trying to fill time in the silence. No, no. In between the real beeps. You were pressing buttons and no beeps was happening in my cans.

So I was like, the listeners just hearing dead air. So the listeners are hearing it. They're just not in your hands. Let me press the last number. Okay. It's ringing. It's ringing. Still ringing.

Go for Guinness. Hi, Fred. Scotty. Fred Guinness. What's going on? Is that Jason I hear? Jason's here with me. Jason, hello.

Guess who else is here? Is this what I sound like? I don't remember. Maybe I sound more like this. That's right. Yeah. I think it's a little more like that. Who else is there? Who else you got? Biron Dennison is here. Byron!

Royal Watcher! Nice to make your acquaintance again, Byron. Lovely. Now what's going on, guys? Well, we also have someone else here. Who? Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Hello! Are you in the book, Andrew Lloyd Weber?

I would think you would be most successful. Longest running. Longest running show, maybe. I did hold that record for quite a while. For lame miss. Wonderful. I love his lame miss. That's my favorite of your show, Sandra Lloyd Webber.

It's not one of mine. What about Sweeney Todd? I love Sweeney Todd is one of my favorites. That's not one of mine. Seems like it should be, though. It's so popular. Assassins? That's not one of mine.

The color purple. No. How many of you heard of bleeding cats? Bleeding cats. Bleeding cats. I'd love to. I do. I regretted it as soon as it was out of my mouth.

Hi. Yes, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you Well, the pleasure is mine You're a lord Yes, I am, but not the lord I'm not religious So yeah, you do hold the record

For most successful person To have an absolute flop on Broadway Don't remind me Oh my God We were talking about bad Cinderella Bad Cinderella, that's correct What was so bad about her? Ticket sales

Oh, very funny Well, when you call something bad, whatever, it's just inviting those kind of headlines. It is a risk, but if it's successful, then of course, you get the reviews that say, bad Cinderella, is anything but. That's true, yeah. That's what you hope for. Yes, that's what they were hoping for, I believe, with Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Yeah. Beneath the Planet of the Apes is above the Planet of the Apes as far as this critic is concerned.

What a great headline. But it's simply never materialized. Yeah. Planet of the Apes now holds the record for most movies. Oh, really? Yep. Just across the entire franchise. Across all movies.

Across all movies. Incredible. Yeah. The majority of films concern planets of the apes. No. Or planets themselves? I don't really parse these things.

It's just most movies. Wow. Okay. Are you sure this is what I sound like? I don't know. I'm wavering on it, but I'm going to go with it. I didn't know I was going to get this call today, so I didn't really bone up on my own voice.

Do you have to go? Oh, shimmy there? Well, he's somewhere around here along with August. You should have put your phone on Do Not Disturb, Fred Guinness. August! Augie Dog! Oh, I almost said hot dog. Oh, wait. What's up?

Dip do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do it. It's so early to have this many people here. Do you're hot dog? I sort of. I didn't say, what's up, hot dog. Oh, shit, no. It's the hot dog Doppler effect. He's phasing in and out.

Oh, no, he's here. Fred, I think we have to go. We have to talk to a hot dog. Okay, bye. That was the voice. I came here to talk to Fred Giddens. Oh, no. He just hung up.

He was just on the food. Oh, well, I'll catch up with him later. Hot dog before you go, and we do have to take a break in a second. but I did anything going on with Sean Anah? Oh yeah, there's a lot going on with Sean Anah.

What's going on with Sean Anah? Well, you know, Shana called it quits, but I got in touch with Scream and Scott Simon and Donnie. Oh, yeah. Wait, they called it quits.

There's no more Shannanah? Well, you go to their website and it's just, there's a big announcement there. They have no... We broke the news on this very podcast. Yeah, they have no further tour dates. Yeah.

I don't think anyone went on that website until we actually broke the news. Do you think this is that this technically is the foremost Shahnana podcast in existence. I think it is. Yeah. I got, I gotta hope so. Are you doing a Shaanana recap podcast? No, I do a podcast called a skiing and a rockin

or something like that. But we talk about Shahnanao in there quite a lot, but it's not really a Shahnanao podcast. Have you thought about doing a Shahnanao? Excuse me. Shadena Nao podcast called, are you na-nang my share? Are you na-nang my share? I mean, I haven't thought

about it, but I'm thinking about it now. That's all I ask. Well, here's what I've said. It's screaming Scott Simon. I said, hey, can I buy the name, Seanana from you? It's just lying fallow. Operate as Seanana. Yeah.

That was my plan. And we're talking about it. He wants $10 million. It's a lot of money. And I don't know how I'm going to scrape that together, but that's what I wanted to talk to Fred Giddis about. What if you just called it something similar, but, you know, without the confusion in the marketplace that would lead to people thinking or Sean, you know, something like Sean, nothing. Shah N-uh-uh.

How'd you spell it? Shaw-N-U-H-Dash-U-H-probably, n-uh? Wait, wait. What have you put the emphasis on the middle now? Sharnana. Shannana. Still spell it the same way? Let's go, girls.

I think that's a good idea, and you can capitalize that A, right? So that people know that that's what the emphasis is. Put it in italics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What if you did a band that sang Shania Twain songs in the style of Shanaana, and it was Shanaana Twain? Yes, it's like a dreadthip. Yes, exactly.

Oh, those guys were great. They really were. I enjoyed them. I have all their records. That was like a real, they had a real moment for what they were. I really enjoyed it. Dude, man. They played the palace.

Hot damn, Tammali, Ahab. Remember their Moby Dick was great. They were a legit reggae band. Yeah. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. It truly did. Tor Telvis. And now, here's my question.

Did it really work? I can't believe we're all fans. We all know so much about Dred Zeppelin. If you're listening, we all love you. If you're a white guy in your 50s, you have a lot of shot, a lot of Dred Zeppelin information. Tortellis, send us some T-shirts. please so so ten million dollars you don't know how you're going to raise this oh that's yeah do we want to put it out there to the listeners maybe the listeners can like you know send five

ten dollars or maybe even ten million that would be great yeah yeah especially the ten million part yeah if somebody would say if i set up a go fund me and somebody just sends ten million dollars to it that would be ideal yeah what do you would you have any stretch goals oh like beyond the 10 million? Oh, man, that's a good idea. And I would give it all to Screamin Scott. I would, whatever above 10 million also goes to Screamin Scott. Yeah. And Donnie, of course.

But, uh, well, that's a screaming Scott. What, uh? That's between Screamin Scott and Don. Can I, can I pitch a in line with Dred Zeppelin, a version of, in line, I got excited. I thought we were going to talk about StarLogyns. Exactly.

Inline skates. I saw, I saw that, I saw that show in high school. Oh, thank you. Fantastic. A reggae version of Shahnana called Jahnana. Yes, Jahnana. You know, may I say, I like that a lot. Yeah?

Yes. Byrant, you like this. I do, you know. I followed Harry and Megan down to Jamaica for the premiere of One Love. That's right. It was wonderful. And I did, I unscrewed the seat and turned it around and watched them watch it, and they loved it. And so, yes, I'm a fan of this reggae and all that.

And a fan of Shanaana or do you not have any idea? Not heard of them. They're Americana. Fine. But for that should be, yes, what did you say? Johnana. They're not Americana. Well, what do you consider Americana?

Well, they're the number one interpreters of American rock and roll. Americana is roots music. Yeah. It's murder ballets and such. I mean, I consider the 50s to be sort of Americana, wouldn't you? No. Okay. What's the cutoff?

Well, you know, the 50s took place all over the world. That's a good point. Not just here in America. You can't get one over on Hot Talk. May I propose? Okay, Dred Zeppelin had. It had the reggae thing. Yeah.

It had the Elvis thing. Yes. And it had the Zeppelin things. Three things. So if Janana has reggae. Yes. It has shenan. Yes.

Which is like duop kind of that rock and roll. What if it's also a little further in the future olies? So it's Janana nah nah, hey, hey, Hey, hey, goodbye. Yes. Is that Gary glitter? No. Thank God.

Thank God. But the tune is a reggae version of that. Exactly. Exactly. I'm not following. It's reggae and shana nah and... That one song. Just doing that one song.

Stadium number one. Something like that. Is that what it's called? Stadium number one. Very good. I think banana. Rama also did that song. Oh, wow.

And this leads us directly into the minions, I believe. The minions? Banana. Oh, banana. Yes. Kevin. You're a big minions man. I love the music.

I adore them. That's a musical for you. I've been trying to get the property. Really? They won't. They want $10 million. Oh, wow. We need to do two competing go-funds.

In what universe, I'm sorry, are the minions worth the same amount as the name shah-da-ma. Give me a break. Give me a break. I'm going to call them, here's my way around it. I'm going to call them the mons and I'm going to make them oblong horizontally

instead of vertically. Oh, so they're just, they're wider than they are tall. Yes, they still look like pills, but pills on their side. Instead of like standing tall, Mike and Ikes, they are on their side, Mike and Ikeynos. Well, most Mike and Ikes and pills are horizontal. It's very hard to get them to be

vertical. impossible. Exactly. So mine just makes more sense. Yes. It does. What color are they going to be? A mustard. So a darker yellow. Like a fancy mustard. With seeds?

Oh, have you any grapeoupon? Of course I do. And so instead of eating bananas, they'll eat lots and lots of mustard. Exactly. I like it better. There will be pots of mustard all about the stage. That's wonderful. But you can never see if they make a mess because they are mustard-colored themselves. Indeed. And we will sell mustard at the

interval. Oh, really? Oh, there will be an interval. Smart. Yes, instead of gin and tonic, you can get a pot of mustard. Oh, Jesus Christ. A pot. A pot. A pot of mustard. It's a pot of mustard. I love it. May I propose a gin and mustard? Dude, now you've got me thinking. This might be the official drink of comedy

bang bang, bin. Gin and mustard? Neat. Celebrate 850 episodes. I'll have a gin and mustard on the rocks. Well, look, guys, we need to take a break if that's okay. I don't care. But who's sticking around? Hot Dog, can you stick around?

I don't know. And Byron, obviously, you'll still be here because we have much to talk about. Indeed. And Andrew Lloyd Weber, you can still be here. I don't know. You don't know, okay. I may have to leave. You may have to.

I totally understand if you have to. This is 850 episodes. People come and go as they please. Well, indeed. And, of course, I drove a double-deckerbuffs here. That's right. I have to feed by me, too. And then you're on the top.

You extended that steering wheel all the way to the... Exactly. All the way to the top tech. It's a devil's drive. You're like High Tower in the Police Academy films, like taking out the front seat. You're not the first to say that. All right, we need to take a break.

Jason, you'll still be here. When we come back, we'll have more from Byron Deniston, maybe more from Hot Dog. I don't know if Shimmie and August are still around. Fred Guinness is on the phone. Who knows? Who knows who else is going to show up?

I had to go, so no. Oh, so you're not here. Okay, great. We'll be right back with more. Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang Bang, We're back. We have Jason Manzuka's here.

And celebrating 850 episodes. Of what, though? You haven't said of what? Oh, no, of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. The podcast you're on right now. Understood. Do you know that you're on a podcast right now called Comedy Bang Bang? Not entirely.

No. But now that you've said it, it makes sense. Everyone keeps saying, speak to the microphone. Honestly, I'm not saying it enough for an episode of Comedy Bang Bang. You're not hearing any dings, too. That may be what's throwing you off. Dings, no, no dings.

Yeah, normally on Comedy BangMeg, we have Dings where I get a text alert. Nothing but Dings, this show has lately just become nothing but Dings. And Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber had to leave, apparently, but Hot Dog, are you still here? Dib do, do, do, do, well, that I'm still here.

I don't know how I get unsummoned. You know what I mean? We have to say your name back. Oh, all right. Oh, like, Mr. Mixelplix? Mr. Mixelplix. Yeah. It's hard enough to say his name forward.

It is very hard. It is like, what am I going to start saying that guy's name backwards? How would you? Exactly. But, Byron, tell us, I wanted to ask you about something because it just made the news recently. It's sort of piqued my interest. But there is some something going on with the Royals. Oh, indeed.

Some sort of hospital stay for two of the. Royals. Oh, indeed. Fill me in. What, what exactly is happening? Well, all right. So, you know, I noticed things were rather quiet amongst the royals, you know. It sort of seems as though Harry and Megan had sort of gone off and done their thing and whatnot. And the Queen Elizabeth is doing a very good job of keeping a low profile and staying and hiding. A few people have seen her, like the Loch Ness monster here and there. Right, right, but she's really kept a low profile. Scott, what are you doing? I don't know. Get to turn the dings off. Sorry. So many things. trying to turn these dings off, but

so yeah, there have been a few sightings like Bigfoot or what have you. What's the one? Yeah. What is this? Scott, you really need to turn off the dings. Oh, for heaven's sake.

What is you getting? What message is that? I don't know what this is. What message do you get that has a choo choo sound? I seriously think it's on Do Not Disturb. I don't know what's happening right here. I don't know what that is. That one was suspenseful.

Sorry. Have you updated to the new operating system. Oh, August, you're back. Thank God. Yeah, yeah, I can give you help. Thank God, because I honestly don't know what I'm doing here. You got to press focus. Focus. Did you work in the IT department at Schmiterberg pretzels? Well, briefly, yeah, I did, you know, because I was on suspension. Oh, yeah. They suspended me from salt. I don't know what's happening. I don't know who's trying to contact me here. Yeah. Wait, wait, can I just read my messages? I know who's messaging you. Oh. Um, this guy I know. uh this guy uh his his name is uh it doesn't come up there on the message yeah i just i know him by a different name uh i know him by his nickname but uh this guy the gris um it's trying to miss no no no no no no no oh we all know him no no no whatever the gris he says from what oh no no no oh i

think he i i need to unlock the door sorry the gris has been trying to get in don't unlock the door Don't unlock it actually, keep it locked. I need to unlock the gates. This is the anti-WTF. I need to unlock the gates. Here, let me just, let me just. Oh, God.

Oh, for Christ's sake. Oh, wow. Oh, no. It just got, hey guys. It just got dark out. Well, well, well. As I live and breathe. Sorry, guys.

This is my friend Greg. It's me, Greg, in it? Yes, Mr. Malit, a.k.a. The Gris. You know each other. Oh, yes. We've had innumerable dealings. Where?

The Gris and I here and there and all around. Matter of fact, you know, there was a time when he and I were vying for the same lady, an Lady Amelia Spencer, in fact, and I'm sorry to say that since the last time we've spoken to you, they have in fact become married. Whoa. Yes, Roy.

Congrats. They've known one another. Thank you. Thank you. That's so. I mean, I didn't know, I didn't get an invite, I guess. No. I didn't either. No. And we've met a bunch of times.

You guys are there too? I forgot that you invite everybody you've ever met to your wedding. I think so. I think that's how it works. If you had to, it would probably be, what, like 500 people tops, right? Max. I did. HBO, Max.

I did invite HBO Max. He's my mate what has HBO. I was at the wedding. Of course, at Grizz's behest. I was compelled to serve. I made him watch. did you get to object

no no no not only was I made to watch I dared him to object I did him to object I'd have to take a big long pose well he made me be the ring bearer did he make you

turn your seat around to face everybody yes away from the bride oh no so I could see the tears streaming down his face it was just

the entire day was Djibouta too humiliating me the number of references and the vows that they wrote, the two of them, to me, was striking. People cry. I think they were crying in sympathy with me, in fact. It was so sad. No, I mean, they were crying laughing.

They'd never seen anyone so horribly defeated and humiliated. It was really an entire wedding weekend devoted to humiliating me. I had to serve drinks at the cocktail affair. Oh, wow. So you were, like, employed. What, but not for money? Just to avoid being whipped. It was terrible.

He had several wardrobe changes throughout the day. Like silly clothes? What were they? What were they? Depending on the occupation. Oh, of course. Of course. First, yeah, a lovely little pinafore when he brought the ring down the aisle.

Well, so you were really integrated into the ceremony. Oh, very much so. Almost where it was more about you than it was about the couple. It's certainly how it felt to me. He had to give a best man speech that I wrote. without the luxury of being the best man even but yes I had to give a best man speech

and he wrote it and it was only full of insults told myself I wish we had that I'm so sorry but this is now reminding me you guys have been on the show together a few times my friend Greg has been

I got to know you through this show yeah we're friends we like each other yeah we like each other right yeah we're friends remarkable how anyone could like Greg Mallet the Gris come on man he's the Gris

I've only met him a couple of times at the show, but the dudes are fucking blast. He's a fucking water polo champion. Nobody beats the gris. Nobody beats the gris. You know, that's the t-shirt. I'm sorry, but that is true. You know, he is a water polo inspector. Wait, did you get a promotion?

Yeah, I started an inspector water polo. Is that a department of the British police? It's under the ages of the crowd. Oh, is it the Ministry of Waterpolo? That's right. Wow. Are you looking at the new minister, her magic his majesty's new minister of water polo wow congratulations grace so are you in charge of water polo or inspecting water polo based crimes yeah yeah both i'll look around a water polo pitch

and i'll say look shipshake to me okay and then somebody says so play on there's been a murder we suspect water polo foul play by waterfowl sometimes sometimes then i have to salt me old mate Shedley Sully Sullenberger Oh wait you don't you know uh Sully Sally Cause I do hero of the Hudson he is Yeah so if you have some sort of goose related problem You got you how often is it a goose related problem Four out of five for yeah I would think so so you've got his

Wiley creatures geese hate people We were talking about Sully on a recent episode about how What people don't know about that miracle on the Hudson is every single people, every single person Every single person Every single soul that he saved Had to get one of their limbs amputated If not both

Yeah Why? It was so cold They lost their feet The frostbite didn't I? So cold in the Hudson Yes But you'd rather be them than the geese

I do I say Yeah In any case I'm so sorry I didn't I didn't remember Honestly that there was Some drama between you two guys In the article by the way About your wedding Gris

You are mentioned as a not in this article as an inspector or an instructor of water polo, but as a lifestyle coach. What is that? You don't know what it is. You're you, sir, are in need of a lifestyle coach. Oh, that would be great.

Would you take on Byron as a client? Of course I would. Really? I'd be glad to. What would you do for me? I think my lifestyle is wonderful. Can I talk to you for a second? To me?

Yeah, Jason and I want to talk to you. Hold on, Greg. I'll be right with you. I'll just be over here in this puddle. Okay. Byron, here's an opportunity for you. What sort of an opportunity? Hire him as your lifestyle coach. Yes, yes.

And then he'll teach you about his lifestyle and you can just take his place once he gives you all of the secrets. And I can call Rick Baker and I can make myself look like the news. Hang on, hang on, this did not go well. I don't know that that's the answer. I mean, you're going to start as a rib and then an ape and then a woman and then a man. Who else does this work? Because I shouldn't look like the gris shouldn't I? Honestly, Rick Baker is the only pull I have.

so I don't know who else does it. Sorry. Oh. Just passing by. I'm Greg Nicotero. I was just. Oh, Greg. From the Walking Dead.

Not you, Greg. Not you, Greg. Well, I heard people talking about special effects makeup and I thought. Yes. Yes. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I didn't think about you, Greg. Incredible.

Greg Nicotera from the Walking Dead from countless other incredible productions. That's right. It's not which we can name. Practical affection. Yeah. Greg, may I ask you, did you see the gentleman sitting next to Andrew Lloyd Weber at the coordination of the coordination of Queen? Yeah, that was you, right?

Isn't that a makeup? Give me your critique of that makeup work. Well, it sort of looked like to me that you were trying to let people know you were wearing a disguise. See, I wasn't at all. It didn't look very natural. It looked so cartoonish and it just seemed like, well, no actual

human being looks like that. Wow. You know, it was almost a Tony Clifton. What would you have done differently? No, but that was a real person. Tony Cliffion was a really. Oh, yeah, that's true, yeah. What would you have done differently, though? He's still around, I guess that's true.

Yeah. I would have, I would have done a shorter wig. I would have done a more human-scale mustache. It was like a box, wasn't it? Yes. Yeah. It was like a Dutch boy. I would have done a more human-scale mustache and probably, you know,

glasses that you can wear at night, you know, like see-through glasses as opposed to those. Like tinted frames. I feel like they're there to hide sort of a poor job on the eyes. It really looked like Tony Clefellers. I really did. Yeah. Just the powder blue tuxedo. That didn't help.

Doing those jokes. My only concern, I'll be honest, for you, Greg, would be in transforming Byron into, and again, I don't think the gris is listing, the gris. No, he's in the corner. Would he? Splash on Tiger the bar.

Okay, oh, nice. The gris is in the pool. Oh, hey, hot dog. I forgot you were here. That's a real good song. Oh, Splish, Splash. You were taking a guy? That's from the 50s, yeah.

Now, a reggae version of that song would be pretty dope. Splish, splash, right? Let him keep working it out. We'll just be in the corner, too. Okay. My only concern would be that he would look too, maybe like a zombie, like a zombie. Yeah, you're known for your zombie work. Yeah, it is true that it's, it's hard for me to break out of the zombie habit.

And, you know, I did a photo shoot recently for a friend of mine, and I unfortunately made her look like a zombie. And it was not a zombie shoot. It was like a glamorous. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, if I, all right, let's plan this out. Because if I, if I learned the Grizz's lifestyle to the degree that I am the gris to my bones, and then I made up to look like the gris, but a zombie version of him, that might return to my benefit. If Lady Amelia Spencer believes that the gris.

is now half dead. Yes. You're going to have to stage at the point where you get rid of the gris and introduce yourself, you're going to have to stage some sort of event that leads people to believe he is dead or has been bitten or has been bitten by a zombie. A lot of background artists, maybe the Scrooge gang gets, you know, as part of this. Oh, the Scrooge gang. Oh, yeah, you've heard of the Scrooge gang.

Yeah, this is a famous, famous. A famous gang of Nairdewels. their duels. Their heists are infamous. I think everybody knows the Scrooge, gang. I think this is a good idea. I think it's a really good idea. Yes, yes.

So I think it's a having bitten by someone else in zombie. Yes, or like a rabid dog or just something that you could point to and be like, oh, this is now happening. Right. Can you do an impression of his voice? And I hear that's why I ask, because first I would, I would, you know, as I'm applying the makeup, I would have you be in a room and just keep calling out from the room to the woman that you want to marry, Lady Amelia, yes, yes. Saying like, don't come in here. I'm fine.

Don't worry about it. Maybe we should hear if you can do a gris impression. All right. Let me try. Well, well, well, as I live and breathe. Is that all right? Not bad. I mean, it's a little more hoarse than he is a little deeper, but that's like dead on in cadence and everything.

Especially if you're doing someone who's sick, you know, saying like don't. That is, actually, I take it back. That's a perfect zombie version. Try, don't come in here. I'm sick. Okay. Don't come in here. I'm sick.

Wow. Is that all right? It's pretty good. That's actually very, shoddingly, very good. Do you do impressions? Do you do anyone else? Do lots of impressions? Who else do you do?

Where you made them or you just smoke them? Not those small French ones. Like big, big cigarettes. Big cigarettes. My family makes them, smoke some. They used to make the candy cigarettes. I love that.

Before cancel culture set in, they can't make any candy cigarette. Fred Guinness would tell you all about it. They can't put the guy with the millions of cigarettes in his mouth in the, in the, in the that's right. You know, there was a, there was a lot of stuff going on with,

Fred Guinness, by the way, recently about the oldest dog. I wish I'd... Oh, I heard about that. Maybe I should call him up. Sure. Okay, here. Let me... Stop saying deep while I'm calling.

Really, I'm compelled to do it. Okay, it's ringing. You got Fred. That's what I said. Hey, Fred. Right, said Fred. Got he. Chase!

Hey, oh. Guess who else is here? Who? Hot dog. Hot dog! How's it going, H.D.? Byron Daniston, still here. I'm still here.

Do you want to hear my impression of you? Okay. Here it is. Oh, is this what I found like? Oh, I don't know. That one's not as good. Byron, you blew it. What's weird is you hit the phone filter.

It was crazy. It's very hard to do it to someone. For all I know, that could be a perfect impression. Yeah, that's true. We also have Greg Nicotero is here. Hi, Fred. All right. Greg, cigarettes.

Greg cigarettes. And my other friend, Greg, is still in the corner. What's up! Um, I wanted to ask you about the, uh, the recent news about the oldest dog. There's a lot of controversy. What is going on here? Yeah, Bobby was, uh, he was the oldest dog, but then it turns out he might not have been that old. He just looked like shit. That's the excuse I give, by the way. You know, about myself. Yeah, his owner was sort of embarrassed by him. And so he said, oh, yeah. The oldest dog. What's that? Broop, brup!

That should be that should be a reggae song. Yeah, the guy was embarrassed because they would say, oh, you're a dog. And he would say, hey, don't be mean. He's very old.

And then it just snowballed. Yeah, you could, you know, you tell a lie, and then you, you know, you got to keep building on it. So are you rescinding the award? What's, what exactly is happening?

No, I don't give a shit. Who cares? You used to care about this stuff so much. It's a don't, I mean, is there another, dog that's going to be upset you know what I mean

this dog doesn't even know his dog doesn't know he has the record and he's dead true true you know who is a previous oldest dog who was that Bluey Bluey really there was a real bluie

da da da da da da da da da da chiket oh reggae president of the Bluey thing song Respect my neck Bluey um

yeah it was Bluey the Australian dog was the oldest dog was the oldest dog. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gosh, well, uh, see you later. Bye. Click bang. It's wonderful that he's just available at all time. Well, he has nothing else to do. I don't think he has a lot of friends. Um, but, uh, so Greg,

also it's very late in Ireland. It must be the middle of the night for him. Well, it's five o'clock somewhere. Okay. I like, oh, it's five o'clock right here, actually. We're taping this at 5 p.m. Right. Um, uh, so is this a plan? Do you want to be, uh, uh, lifestyle coached by The Gris? I think it's a perfect plan. It's really the only reasonable way. And then with Greg Nicotero's help,

you can then segue into getting rid of the Gris, taking his place, and boom, your Lady Amelia's husband. And just like you always wanted. I just have to figure out how to break it to Rick Baker. But yes, if she can't love you, the Gris, as a zombie, then she's not worth being with anyway. Yeah.

You don't stop loving someone just because they become a zombie. That's a very good point. That's beautiful. Yeah. Okay. So let's take a break. When we come back, I'll get the gris from out of the corner, Greg.

And Greg, can you stick around? That's gris in the corner. That's right. Greg Nicotero, can you stick around? Yeah, that's me in the spotlight. Okay, great. And, uh, uh, Byron, of course.

I'm losing that religion. And then what about you, hot talk? Are you sticking around? Trying to keep up with you. And of course, Jason will be here. All of these people will be back. We'll be right back with the 850th episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Right after this.

You never hung up. comedy bang bang we're back jason manzookas is here obviously how did this get made uh celebrating it's what 14th year probably yeah we're in year 14 now which seems insane yeah um and uh obviously we're going to the UK for a tour i heard what are the oh we'll talk about that yeah don't worry about it uh and we also have a hot dog is here uh yep i don't want to say the anymore. I understand. Are you losing passion for saying? Just like the deadest of eyes

while delivering that. Just absolutely soulless. That's the saddest thing I ever Well, I'm losing hope that I'll ever get that $10 million together and become shot on now. You haven't even started to raise it yet, right? I just saw the Kickstarter or the GoFundMe, it just got put up. You already have a dollar.

Make that money off of the back of Jahnana. Okay. Make that money, then, then purchase. I think you've lost the passion for all things, Shauna, nah, honestly. Not really. I'll get it. But once I see those dollars start to tick up people,

otherwise, otherwise my heart will break and I won't be able to go on. You've already got one dollar. If you just, for the next 10 million days, if you get a dollar a day, you're all set. How many years is 10 million days? Oh, right. Three? I forgot it. Yeah, somewhere around there. Four? You know, who else should be in John Anna, by the way?

I have another friend who is in a band, who was kicked out of a band. Oh, who's that? My friend Cal was in the Sugar Hill Gang. Oh. And, yeah, he would be a great addition to Jean-N-A-N-A, yeah. To John-N-A-N-A-N-A-Ban-A band. Yeah, that does na-na-na-na-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hey-ha. Okay, yeah. Yeah, he can do a rap. Rock-and-roll number one. That's what it's called. Yeah. Oh, right. He can do a rap in the middle of it, probably. He's a good rapper.

Really? Yeah, he was an original member of the Sugar Hill Gang. Wow. Can we get him here? Can you say do, do, do, do, wow? Tip, do, do, do, wow. There, see, it's back. Just be mentioning Cal Sol. Hey, I'm going to. Hey, where am I? Oh, my God. Did that make him appear? What happened? I was just known. Kelly, what were you doing just now? I hope you weren't driving. I was washing a mug and to think. Oh, okay. That mug is probably broken at this point.

Oh, so sorry. It was my favorite. What was on it? Me. I got it done at the mall. Oh, that's fun. That's so cool. We'll get you another one, buddy.

Let's be giving a thumbs up. Oh, very cool. It's really cool. Is it a dishwasher save? Sorry, go ahead. What were you going to say? You know what? Asking the important question.

It might be, but I hand wash it just in case. That's smart. This is my friend Hot Dog. Hi, Hot Dog. Hello. And my other friend Byron. Hey, yes, I'm here as well. Hi, Byron.

This is Greg Nicotter. Tara. Hi, Greg. And my other friend Greg is in the corner. Hi, Greg. Corner, Greg. And we had a question for you. You've been practicing your rapping, obviously. Every day. How's it been going? Not good. Yeah, I figured. I practiced for several hours every day. Wow. And are you practicing all elements, writing the actual wrapping and flow and delivery? You don't like to write your raps. I didn't think about writing. Oh, wow. I've just been. I thought you're just freestyle. Whatever that means. Well, it's what the Sugar Hill Gang did at the barbecue you were at. Yeah, I thought that's how it worked. You just made it up as you go along. Right.

When I say barbecue, you were at, you were hosting. Explain that you hosted a barbecue. Yes. And the Sugar Hill Gang paid. Well, they didn't like the cooking so much that they started rapping about it. Oh, I see. I came to realize much later that the seminal hit, Rappus Delight, was a disc track about my barbecue. Oh no.

Because it starts What are the lyrics When it starts Have you ever been over Friends off to eat And the food just ain't no good And we We figured out

That this was about Cal because he was hosting the barbecue Yeah And they were just doing this Off the top of their head And Cal thought That he was a member of the Sugar Hill gang

Because I was there When they were doing it But they were in fact Just roasting him Yeah And then when he When he said Hey when are we getting

Together to practice Our wraps Well I showed up To the studio Oh man I got a tell you, this is really, it gets me in the heart, it gets me where I live. Right.

I've had things like... This is very hot doggy. Well, I tried to be in Shaana for a long time. Oh, wow. And they had me audition over 50 times and always found some kind of fault with my audition. And, uh, yeah, what was the fault usually? Yeah, what would they say? It was stuff like, uh, you're terrible.

You can't sing. That's a big fault. You would bring nothing to the group. Oh, that's direct. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, listen, I give them credit for that. They didn't beat around the bush. And then remind me, what was Nasha,

Naja Shah was a group that I created one time when I gave hope on getting into Shanaana. That's right. But that is defunct. Yeah. Yeah. Nasha turned out to be just nothing but fights. And those guys, I don't talk to those guys anymore. Like if I went to the website, it would just be no upcoming shows at Nasha.

Yeah. Yeah. No upcoming shows. So it's very on a parallel track with Shana Nah. Yeah, yeah. The websites with no upcoming shows. No upcoming shows for Shana. no, no, Bowser is still doing

a great, he's out there, John Bowser, Bowman? John Bowser Bowman. Oh, I loved him on match game. Oh, really? He was the host of match game, and then he was Center Square or something during the Hollywood Squares. Well, they did the match game Hollywood Squares hour that he was part of both.

Oh, that was a weird period. Yeah, like a half hour in, they would switch like suddenly the squares would rise up from the ashes of match game. Literally. Really? Yeah, it was like the risers would rise up and become like a, three by three squares this episode is exclusively

for people in their 50s every reference is from the 70s even older quite honestly hey you guys want to talk about hello Larry but the reason I got some room for love Sydney

the reason I guess we summoned you Cal is because Hot Talk has an exciting new project going on oh really and we're wondering if maybe you want to add your talents to it. I mean, it's... Which ones? The rapping mainly, the musical talent.

Oh, but listen. We got to eat too. Because it's a new... Get ready, Cal? It's a new band. I'm not much of a cook. I don't know if you heard this song. Which are you worse at?

Because no one's made a disc track about your rapping. That's true. So you're probably better rapper. I guess so. By the fault. You've had a few years to work on those barbecue skills. I let them fat-trophy, I guess. In pursuit of my rap dreams.

to that bad feedback. Oh, yeah. I guess I got kind of gun shy. I'm getting back in the kitchen. I get it. But, yeah, this is a band for you. You're perfect for it, because it really is,

it's going to be a band made up of people who could not get in or stay in the band that they wanted to be in. This sounds like a perfect fit. Yeah. And we're going to do reggae versions of classic American rock and roll songs. And there's something about Gary Glitter.

Uh-oh. Gary Glitter not involved. Uh-oh. Oh, okay. He's not? No, no, no, no. For sure? I don't think so.

Who does, who did the song originally? Oh, he did that. No, no, no, no, no, goodbye. That's Gary Glitter. Oh, okay. It is. Isn't it? No.

No, you're thinking of, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ha-da-ha-ba-bo-do. That's Gary Glitter. Rock and roll part one. Nah, nah, hey, hey, kiss him goodbye. This was a 1969. Stream was the original artist. Stream. Wait, will you play it?

I mean, I could try. Can you scream it? I'm curious. Is that the one we're, thinking of, or is that a previous version of it? Am I the one who originally mentioned Gary Glitter in this podcast? I was, I think, yeah, unfortunately. I mean, we're cutting that out, I'm sure.

Good idea. You never get our editing budget back, but, um, so. And if you don't know why we'd rather not talk about Gary Glitter, Google it. Ooh, don't do that. Goal or actually, don't Google, don't Google. He got in trouble for that, I think. Don't fluegel. Um, but in any, in Google, Gary Clitter, it's called a glugel.

But in any case, so this is going to be made up entirely of people who have, have not gotten into the band that they wanted to get into. It's like that movie The Expendables. Yes, exactly. That's what it is. Expendable Rock and Rollers, man. Yes. A super team of people nobody wants. Yeah.

We're talking to Sammy Hagar. He got kicked out of Van Halen for his poor work ethic. Was that one? That's why. Well, I mean, he has a new group with Michael Anthony also kicked out of Van Halen. It's called The Circle. Really? That's right.

What about Gary Sharon? My Sharona? No, from the other. Van Halen lead singer after Sammy Hayland 3. From Extreme. Extreme. Thank you. More than orange. Sure. He's

more than welcome to join the band. Sure. So do we need an audition at all? I don't think so. Oh, okay. Wait, I wasn't saying you need to audition for him. Oh, okay. I don't want to audition for this band that I'm putting together. Hot dog seems genuinely

miserable to be here. I'm so sorry. I feel like Hot Dogg would rather Byron Dennis didn't be getting the attention. Yeah, Byron, you're very quiet, by the way. No, no, I think he's doing wonderfully. Well, you know, think about it. I am summoned out of a clear blue sky.

Do you wait? You're just in the middle of the sky when I summon you? Yeah. What? I'm looking down on Earth. What? Wow. We have not talked about this at all.

You never asked where I was. You want to know all about his mug washing. You never asked where I was when you summoned me. It's so true. We are up in the heavens? We say, what's up? Hot Dog, you arrive and we never ask you where you just were. What if you guys would ever do me the favor of unsumming me, what would happen is I just convert into mist and I float around in the atmosphere. And then when you summon me, I become

corporal again and I'm a hot dog. Well, whoa. So you are almost like a spirit or a poltergeist in some ways. I, it's, I am definitely missed. I'm like, if that, separated water. Did somebody say Poltergeist? Who's this? Whoa. I thought I heard a poltergeist dimension. Oh, this is the father.

Oh, yeah. David, be an anvino. Oh, right, right, right. Do you need a ghost busted? I mean, is this an ad break? Boston, it makes me feel good. Are you afraid of ghosts? This seems like an ad break.

I ain't afraid of no ghost. I think you're going to have a hard time people, people go, who are you going to call and then your name? because it's very ingrained to say who you're going to call Ghostbusters. Yeah. What's your name? Padre David,

Benvenuto. Can you put that into the song? Who are you going to call? When there's somebody strange in the neighborhood. Who you want to call? Padre David de Benvenuto. It doesn't really roll off the time

I'll be honest. Oh, how about this? What if it was to a reggae? What if had a head like a... What if Jean-Annaud did Ghostbusters as one of their songs? I think it's a great idea. I mean,

At this point, Ghostbusters is older than 50s rock and roll was to Shanaanao themselves. What? I can't. What? What do you mean? That's true. Yeah. Well, Shanaanah came together in like 1968.

And so that was about seven years after the music that they were. Right. And so Ghostbusters was 40 years ago this year. Wow. That's crazy. So it's older than the music of the 50s. Wow. That's cool.

Technically. Yeah. When you really think about it. When you drill down into it, it's older. The 80s. ago is still older than the 50s. Wow. You guys blow my mind.

I know. We just have to explain to you because you're mostly missed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It takes me a little while. You say 40 years ago. Yeah. He's older than the 50s. It's true, though. When you really think about it. The 50s are only 50 years old.

Yep, but the 40s. At this point, twice that. Thank you, my. You get it. I get it. I think you guys is possessed. What's that?

I think you guys is possess. Oh, no. I wouldn't perform an action. I'm not going to have to perform an accident. No, we didn't summon this guy, but you arrived on a VESPA? Yeah. I noticed this. And you're not missed before you're right the Vespa every.

Yeah. I ride to all the country. Yeah. You're not missed before you come here. None of the guy. Yeah. When we say that, M-I-S-T, not M-I-S-S-S-S-E. CD. Oh, I know I'm not

missed. Oh, no. Hot dog. Hot dog. I think come on a hot dog. Hot dog might need an exorcism. Honestly, I don't know what's going on with it. Hot dog. What's the matter for you? Why are you looking so sad? It's a nice of place. It's not so bad. Oh, shut up in your face.

Again, if you're listening to this episode and you weren't born in the early 70s or late 60s, you have no idea what's going on. but hot talk i i and and excuse me cal i i i need to talk to yeah i'm still here oh right but but but and the gris the gris who would have thought the gris would get so little airtime right drops keep falling over yeah i think i think hot dog there's something going on with you and it you know it may benefit you to perform an exorcism on you because i've never seen you like this you think i might have a ghost in me i think so or what is it a devil you got a

demon is a demon in me you got a demon is a demon in you? Hot dog, you got a demon in you. Oh, I wouldn't be surprised. You know, some people say, I got that demon in me. That's you now. I've never heard anybody say that, but I believe that I might have a demon in me. He's a big expression in an exorcism, sir. Oh, okay.

I got a demon in me. When did you start feeling like this? Was this at some time around the last time you spoke to Sean Anopp or? Well, yeah, I had a really bad conversation with those guys with Scream, Scream, Scott and Donnie, and they were real mean to me. Really? To be up in a bad mood. Do you say Shanana? Oh, well?

Do you say Shanana? Yeah. All possessed. No, no, no, no. I mean, honestly, Jason, we've, we've suspected this for a while. I'm not surprised by that. Yeah, I mean, they are trying to bring about hell on earth and... Screaming us girls. Dirty Dan. John Bowser bowled. They're all possessed.

All possessed by demons. No. I mean, I know that they were in league with the devil and working for the devil, but possessed. It's really split. He finally went all the way. So Padre, do you think that perhaps when he tried to audition for Sean Anah that he invited this poltergeist or devil inside of him? Well, part of the audition was drawing a pentagram with my blood and then having me jerk off on a parchment. That is your soul's signature. Oh, what do you mean? That's where did they get you?

Oh, no. I thought it was just a weird king. Always have a lawyer look at the contract. I have any time I sign a contract that my lawyer crossed at the part where I got to jerk off on the part I said just put it right through that That's smart

Just red line it So what do you suggest we do here Everybody got to pray Oh okay Whether you believe or not It doesn't matter If you can pray in Latin The best

I don't get Jason Can you pray in Latin? I don't know Latin at all It's too bad Yeah What's your favorite prayer? Hmm I think the only prayer

I know is the Lord's prayer Oh it's a good one I know God is good, God is great. Oh, I guess I don't know it. What's the one where it ends up? God is good, God is great. Come on God, I just can't wait. Let me eat this food on my plate.

What is this? That's the one. I know all hell, rock and roll. Oh, that's a good one. Hell, hell, rock and roll. Hell, hell, rock, and roll. Yeah. If you pretend that rock and roll, he's a god,

he's a rock and roll a god to you. Absolutely. Then you pray that. You pray that. You pray that. So this is like a 12-step program where you don't have to believe in God necessarily as much as something can be.

Whatever God means to you. Yeah. I'm not real strict about it. You know what you? Oh, that's so. Well, also, the rock gods are there to be worshipped. Sure. Ronnie James Dio.

Jimmy Hendricks. Dred Zeppelin? Yeah. Oh, Telvis. Are you talking about a Dred Zeppelin? Oh, yeah. Oh, I love a Dred Zeppelin. Of course you do.

You're older. Yeah. So do you want to perform this exorcism? Okay. So you say God is good. God is great. Okay. You say the Lord is pray.

Okay. You say hell, hell, rock and roll. Okay. And I will perform. but the same. You don't have to say this one out. If you don't mind. I'm going to read magazine. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Greg, Greg, Greg,

Greg and Greg. I'm more spiritual than religions. Okay, great. Good to know. All right. Here we go. Ready? Should I do anything? Greg, do you want to start preparing your zombie makeup for? No, Cal. That's Cal. Oh, sorry, Cal. Cal, if you want, I mean, I don't know. Do you want a rap? Father, should Cal wrap during?

Oh, I don't know if you can wrap during this. I cannot have people. rap during the day. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So Cal should, it sounds like not talk at all. Everybody pray quietly. Okay. I could do like God bless you like when somebody sneezes. Oh, sure. That's perfect.

In case any of us sneezes. Okay. Just say God bless you over and over again. Okay. Here we go. Okay. And three two, one. What is the countdown? What is the countdown? We're all going to pray. Oh, okay. Never occurred to me to do a countdown. That's a good. Yeah. Most prayers don't begin with a countdown. I was going to say in the church, they don't do enough counting down.

three, two, one. I count out to my raps. Oh, you do, yeah. I hit, first I get the beat and then I go, three, two, one, wrap. Yeah, I love it. That's great. It also sets expectations for the listener. Yeah, okay, can we be done talking about the rap?

Okay, yes. Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. Hell, hell, rock, and demon, I'm going to tell you right now, you better get out of that. I'm, you're making me mad, demon. I'm getting mad. I'm getting so mad of you. And I call a God to say, get out of there.

Oh, here he goes. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, it's working. It's working. Oh, demon. Get out of the hot dog. You better get out of there.

It's a hot dog-shaped demon. Bring out the girl. What? Oh, my God. Dr. Mello's been in hot talk this whole time. I've seen it this demon before. So have I. Oh, it's you again, Father Benudo Benuto, Benito.

Diniti? Don the bellow. Pass on. We've been here. You gotta get out of there. Leave it a hot dog alone. No, it's good in here. I like it when he becomes the mist

and then I can be everywhere. You got it in your own body. Why don't you stay in there? Have you seen my body? Yeah, good point. It's not so good these days. I do it, try, in Pilates. Oh, good.

No, it's not. It's terrible. I mean, you don't look great. Thank you. I have to admit. Thank you for making my point for me. Not, but it's not a compliment. I'm not thanking you for the compliment.

Yeah, I understand. Don of the mellow, I command you to leave it the body of a hot dog. Listen, you're barking up the wrong tree because I myself am possessed by a demon. But I, what? Yes. He's like a babushka. Wait, three, two, one. Our father.

Demon inside and down the meadow. Double demon, get out of there. I tell you right now, you better get out of there. Get out of that demon. Double demon, get out. It's me, golly! Oh, golly! The original demon.

Whoa! How's it going? Not in this guy. Oh, boy. Gali is a demon that a ventriloquist dummy. Come to life. Yeah. A paragon of evil.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I need you. This guy, he's above my pig grade. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no. That's right.

I've defeated him again and again. Oh, my God. I destroy him. I've never seen Father Bienvenuto seeming so scared. I mean, are you just maddie? Well, I've never seen you so scared since I just met you. You got me. You've never seen anybody so scared.

Look at him. Oh, my God. What do we do, guys? What do we do? Wait, wait, wait. Has anyone ever tried saying Ghali's name backwards? Don't even try it. It can't be done.

Okay, let's try it. It can't be done. Elog. I'm finally free. Has anyone tried saying Don DeMello's name backwards? I don't think that can be done. Oliemann. Olimat, Maude.

Oh, my God. I feel fantastic. Oh, hot dog. We're going to say your name backwards. Okay, I can finally leave. Dogtoe. He seems to be gone. Oh, Byron.

Yes. Wow. Wonderful. That was exciting, wasn't it? Thank you, Father. Oh, my God. Hey, you got it. This is the best is you ever gone for me.

Yeah, I mean, to be honest, you didn't do a lot. And now, Vespa away. He just hopped on the back of his Vespa. Wow. That was incredible. And it just started. up. He knew when to arrive, exactly what to do, and then boom. He must have keyless entry on his, on his, on an app. Key the century. I don't think he entered. He must be driving to

the best one. Who's keyless entry? I have the faintest. Yeah. She sounds like a supermodel. Oh, Cal. Kieless entry. In any case, Cal, do we need to audition, Cal? Do we need to wrap this up? Or are you just got guys going to just be in a band? I don't know. Maybe you feel so much better after having this. I think you're talking to hot dog, but he's gone. Oh, that's right. hot dog's gone. I don't know if John Anna is viable at this point with I don't know. With Hot Dog. Cal. I'm sorry. We should probably send Cal back to us.

Yeah, can you say my name backwards? I have to go to the mall and get a new mug. Yeah, lack. He's gone. Oh, the Gris is back then. Well, well, well, well. It's just the two of us, Byron. Yes, yes. I see that. Listen, uh, uh, uh, uh, Grizz. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I wonder if you would help me with your life coaching, lifestyle coaching. It's lifestyle coaching.

I don't coach your life just your lifestyle And Grizz, I'm speaking on behalf of Byron here If you don't mind The lifestyle that you're coaching him about Could it be your lifestyle? Well, that's what he is. Oh, great. I'll coach everyone how to live like the Gris.

Oh, wonderful. I would love that. Yes, yes, yes. Well, I would love it if you would take me on as a client. I'd love to learn how to live like the Greece. And then, I'm so sorry, go ahead. Byron, nothing would give me more pleasure. Oh, wonderful. Thank you.

And then Gris, this guy, Greg, over here, just wants to do a full body scan of you. I'm Greg, too. Is that funny? Yeah. It's pretty funny. Greg, anytime he meets another Greg, he wants to do a full body scan. Who wouldn't want to do a full body scan of me? That's right. The water polo inspector itself. Proper fit.

Yeah. So he's going to do a body scan of you. He's going to do some moldings, some casts. You don't mind if I just get in here to some molding the cast? Yeah. I don't care. Measurements. Yeah. In seams.

Out seams. Sure. Everything. And then how long does this usually take to figure out how to be like the gris? Let's see. I've coached two people so far. Oh, wow. Which two, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind you asking, Jeremy Piven. Oh, does he sing? Does he sing Jeremy Piven? I never heard him do it. Oh, okay. Yeah, because I do sometimes, along with my other friend. I'll sometimes sing his name. Oh, do you, yeah.

Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Piven to you. Yeah. And who else was it? Wait, was it? Jim Gaffigan. Jim Gaffigan. I've noticed he's been very gris-like. I have seen that too, yes.

Well, if I can get half the results of Jeremy Piven and Jim Gaffigan, I'd be thrilled. And is the whole point of your lifestyle, thing to give out and help people understand that gris-riz. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what I call it. Yeah. The gris-riz.

And when it's done, when the transformation is complete, I say, you have achieved gris-riz, like a robot. Oh, wow. Like a robot. That's so cool. We met a robot earlier. No. I was thinking of building a grisbon.

Oh, you've got to. A true grisbon? You've got to do it. A true grisbord. Do you not one of the fake grisbots that's been running around. They're just cardboard boxes. It's a little bit of silver in. You're not a grisbot right now.

Are you like, when you know how when Dr. Doom makes a bunch of Doom bots, sometimes they don't even know that they're not actually Dr. Doom, they think they are?

I don't know about that because I'm like sex, mate. I think robots. Have you gotten into a pool recently? I mean, Cylons.

What do you mean by that? Oh, oh, I see. I thought you were suggesting that pools are essentially sex robots. No, no, no.

I mean, we don't want to get a robot. Do you remember the Cynons? You know, they're like, boy, all command. And then there was one guy who had like a Seafrew head.

And he was like a little, a little fancy lad. And then he would like go, by your command. Why didn't they just put like a bucket of water above the door? So when the Cylon would walk in, like they get soaked and just go. They short circuit. They never thought of it. Who's that? I don't know who they is.

The Battlestar Galacticans? Starbuck and Apollo. What was the lady's name? Oh. I loved her. And just to be clear, this conversation is only for the Battlestar Galactica from the 80s. Oh, I was talking about these. Okay.

Anyway, yeah. Commander Adama. Yes, of course. Lauren Green himself. From Bonanza. From Bonanza. I don't know that show. I don't want to mention Benanz because I'm worried that someone else is going to show up.

If we mentioned Bonanza too many times. Right. If we keep saying Bonanza, you know. It's hosted by Dalton Wilcox do, wow. That summons me. Oh, no. Yep. Oh, wow.

Nobody's ever tried to say Dalton will cups too well. With a slits in his hand? I've got a slits right here. And a can of beans? Hell yes. I came by hoping you might have a can opener. If not, I'll just shoot it. Two can Dalton, yeah, let me find one for you.

That's fine. Here, here. Thank you very much. Very good. You're using that on the slits. I've used, yeah. Well, that's also in a can, isn't it? Well, sure, but you don't need to take the entire top of the slits up.

No, it's why it's a proper beer can. You remember the host? Those teens with a tab. Before the tap you have to, yeah. The one the 50-year-old men know about? You had to do two, one on each side. Your dad had one of those. This can is from 40 years ago.

That's older than the 50s? Even older. You got old slits. Yeah, man, that's the best. They should start marketing that. Old slits. Yes, the good. New Coke, old slits.

Properly aged. Dalton is great to see you. That's great to be here. What's your boys up to you? We're just chilling here with Byron over here. Have you ever met the Grizz? I don't know. This is a water polo inspector.

A water polo inspector. Enchanted. Nice to make you. I will say, Dalton, now that you're here, oh, and I guess some of them have gone away, but they're for sure have been monsters. Well, there's a guy who, I mean, Greg over here, don't listen to this, Gris.

Greg, Greg makes zombie makeup. Oh, yeah. But that's just fake. I mean, Gawley was here. Gawley is a true agent of demonic chaos. Oh, was here, though. Yeah, no, we ban.

I guess they heard us coming and they said, fuck, I don't want anything to do with that. Probably. And we said his name backwards. Got real scared and stuff like that. But you said his name backwards? Yeah. Yeah, we're applying Mr.

McSixoplix rules to everybody. Yeah. Can't even say it. I think it's Mixelplix. I always said mixelplex. Yeah. Missalplex. Yeah, it could be.

Or mixelplex. I always say. I said Mixel, but Hey, Dalton, come on, man. God damn nerds. Come on, man. That's what you said the bitches are. Okay.

We don't come here to be insulted. We got to say Dalton, Wilcox back. How do we say it? Ex, ex-ock ill. I can't. Honestly, I'm leaving it. Great to see you. So long.

He must have keyless entry on that horse. Do you drive a keyless entry? No, he seems riding away on the horse. What is a keyless set? Keelacentric. Keelacentry. Well, look, have we wrapped up everything? You're going to take him on as a client.

So maybe next time we see you, we'll hear exactly how that all went. Or we'll have forgotten. Very likely. Very likely. Anything else we need to wrap up, Byron? No, we never really did get into what's going on with the Royals. Yeah, what is happening? What is happening?

He's in the hospital, having medical procedures. Or King Charles, rather. He went to the hospital. What's happening? Yes, yes. Well, it's late in the podcast to get into it really. They're having aliens implanted under their skin. Oh, wow.

It's a long-term arrangement made with beings from another planet. Yes, but Charles is having one put in his ass. It could be anywhere. That's where he's chosen. He just chose it. Yes. And right up the old aris. Yeah, that's right.

And Catherine is having one put in her abdomen because she's just one of those ladies who likes the feeling of being pregnant. Oh, okay. So, yeah, she's going to have that. One of those ladies. Yes, one of those. Sarah Ferguson is having one of a, put in her nose and away we go. Wow. Okay. So are you trying to get in on this?

I'm taking a wait and see a print. Are they going to let Prince Andrew get in on this? Oh, no, absolutely. No, okay. No, they're absolutely not. And what is the point of this? Why are they doing this? It's really, really for the benefit of the aliens, you know. This is sort of a gestational arrangement. I see. Is this some sort of the aliens want to take over the world and the King Charles is sort of exceeded to their requests in anticipation. It's a world swap. I see. So the royals will then go to their planet.

So it's kind of like a life swap, but for entire world. Move that bus! And then gigantic bus is moved. And then there's Pluto. And then there's Pluto. So Royals and their guests will move to this other planet. So everyone

just as our planet is being sort of subsumed by the So we're still. So we're trying to get off this planet. That's the whole royal thing. That's the new version of before the spaceship was going to come. Yes. Yes. And Grizz are you doing this because you're a royal. Of course I am. Yeah. When's your operation? Uh, I've got a schedule for, let's see, I got, uh, I do have to do a colonoscopy. It's, it's, it's early for me. Oh, okay. I mean, he says, you know. Yeah, of course you were. So you don't understand any of these references.

Dread Zeppelin, do you have any idea? What's that? Okay. See, yeah. Do you even remember after a mash. What's mash? Trapper John M.D. Quincy? The punk episode of Quincy? What are you saying? The Rockford Files.

You sound balmy. Yeah, sorry. Anyway, so you have a call and the fat man. Riptide. Are these baitsie-eels? Oh, the screaming Mimi on Riptide? Yeah. Any of this?

Also a robot on that one. Here's my question. Is Lord Andrew Lloyd Reber here still? No, he left, I believe, yeah. I was just going to say, yeah, I forgot me, phone. Oh, Lord Weber! That's so great. I was just going to say, we forgive me, you were not here for it,

and I thought perhaps you were, we were just having such an interesting conversation about, I doubted. About alien taking over, aliens taking over the monarchy and all the royals. You know about this. What a great subject this would be for a musical. Byron! What? What are you doing?

What do you mean? Why are you telling them the secret plans? Oh, it's so late in the podcast, I figured no one was doing this. He told us about this. This is what's happening with King Charles and all of it. Yes, it's true. Are you doing this too? Are you a plus one?

Are you writing songs for it? Yes, I am. For the aliens? Yes. Songs for the alien. Do they have a different scale? I mean, I'm so cute. That would be a very, that would be something.

A different musical scale. Very interesting to see. I hope it can be interpreted into their alien language. Yeah. It goes like this. Hello, little green men, everybody's waiting to see you. Everyone knows when you come here, things will be grand. Hello, little green men, everyone wants to be you.

When you get here, everything will be at hand. Talking about the destruction of the Earth. Talking about the destruction of the planet.
