Hey everyone, Scott Aukerman here, host of Comedy Bang Bang, and welcome to Bonus Bang,
where we re-release episodes of Comedy Bang Bang out from behind the paywall.
I know, spooky stuff.
This month is even spookier because instead of bonus bangs, we're actually calling them
boo-ness bangs.
I hope I didn't frighten you.
Yeah, that's right, this next series of releases from the Comedy Bang Bang archives
feature some of our favorite silly, spooky episodes.
These boon-us bangs are a great way to hear classic episodes of Comedy Bang Bang,
either for the first time or again, if you've been here from the beginning.
And our first boon-us bang is episode number 666.
That's right.
It's a human number,
called You Get It with Yasser Lester,
Edie Patterson is my occasional co-host
and sidekick Bean Dip,
Ryan Gall as financial advisor Douglas Gropes,
and of course, Nick Weiger as composer Leo Carpazzi.
It was released originally on July 26, 2020.
Now note that date.
We were in the middle of even scarier, the pandemic.
So I believe this episode was recorded remotely
with people, so that may be why the sound
is a little different than normally.
And we are celebrating this 666th episode
of Comedy Bang Bang with a new song
written by Leo Carpazzi. What an honor.
Now if you like what you hear and you want to hear the entire CBB archive, you can become a subscriber at CBBworld.com where you can find every single episode
we've ever recorded as well as every live episode.
We're gonna be back Monday with a new episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Until then, enjoy this
BUNUS BANG! Enjoy this Boonisbang! Why do we park in driveways and drive on sidewalks?
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Hmm, good question.
Thank you to Carl with a K,
although he spells Carl with a C.
I don't know what that means.
All right, well, anyway, thanks to Carl with a K
for that catchphrase submission, also with a K.
Coming up a little later, we have a singer.
We also have a financial advisor.
Well, you know, I gotta say in these tough times,
especially with everything running out
at the end of the month,
I think we need financial advisors more than ever.
So that'll be some great advice
that we'll be getting a little later.
We also have a comedian and an actor.
This is episode, let's see, I believe it's about 66 episodes
past the 600 mark.
Coming up first here, by the way, my name is Scott Ackerman.
I am very first.
Coming up second, I should say.
She is, a lot of people know her as the owner and proprietor of the W Hotel here in Los Angeles,
not the chain of hotels.
And we've been checking in with her kind of regularly
during these COVID times,
but please welcome back to the show Bean Dip.
Hello Bean Dip.
Hey, hello, welcome Scott.
Now, you seem to not realize that the W is like Subway
and it is franchise.
I bought the one in Hollywood, BFD.
WBFD stands for what?
W, Big Fuckin' Dale.
Oh, okay.
Why didn't you just call it WBFD?
I think that would make it more popular.
Because I'm not just trying to get like,
if I walk around the street, I say,
oh, WBFD, W big fucking deal.
Then I think to myself,
I'll go there, I'm somebody who likes to party.
Hey, I like to tear things up, I like to wreck things.
I'm trying to get classy car and town,
not just people who like BFD.
Right, do you like to party?
I've never asked you this question.
I feel like that's an oversight.
Does a dog like to run up a hill
and then catch his breath and walk back down it?
Yes, dog, I love to party, dog.
What is your favorite partying experience
and how exactly do you love to party?
My favorite thing is to find somebody
with a very deep part in their hair,
like where I could see the line in their hair.
I like to fill that with cocaine
and then gobble it out of their hair part.
Okay, so I'm trying to think of anyone
with that deep of a part.
They're Crispin Glover, I would imagine.
Yeah, Crispin Glover.
Remember there was a dude from Kid and Play for a minute
that had a very deep part.
It's just like- He was only in Kid and Play for a minute that had a very deep part. It's just like-
He was only in Kid and Play for a minute
or he only had a deep part for a minute?
Cause as far as I remember,
Kid and Play was not like Menudo where you age out of it
and they get a new play.
Well, for all I know,
he's doing two shows right now on the road,
but I have no idea if his part is still deep.
Are you talking about Christopher Kidd?
I can't remember his name,
but he wrote the theme song to real time with Bill Maher.
I'm actually talking about James Play.
James Play, okay.
Is that his actual last name, James Play?
But he spelled it P-L-E-Y.
Oh, okay, so one letter off.
Just one letter different.
Don't, hey, don't judge a book by its cover.
You think he might be up for a good time, but you then you realize the A is a.
Now, are those days behind you being dip?
Are you still partying?
I mean, you're the owner and proprietor of this gigantic
major hotel right here in the heart of Hollywood. Major.
So usually now when I just,
when I am gonna have some partying going on,
it's usually more like,
drink a bunch of scotch off of somebody's skin.
Okay, so they're a little bit different than the cocaine.
I mean, you're just drinking scotch.
Yeah, a little more like child's play.
Oh, child's play.
That's another movie from back in the nineties.
Speaking of kid and play and their house party.
Two thumbs up, Child's Play, don't wake up with Chucky.
What a nightmare, that is like a Bachelorette's just,
you know, date from hell, waking up
and suddenly there's Chucky.
Yeah man, can you imagine anything worse?
I literally don't think anyone could ever imagine anything worse? I don't think, I literally don't think anyone
could ever imagine anything worse.
How exactly are you drinking scotch off someone's skin?
Belly shots, temple shots, butthole shots,
elbow shots, nose shots.
How does one do a butthole shot?
Because I would think it would fall out.
I mean, gravity is the enemy of the butthole
or sometimes it's friend.
Scott get real, gravity is always the friend of the butthole
if you tell the shot person to lay down on the couch,
be very still, make sure your butthole does not move.
Those are a lot of instructions just to give pleasure to you.
That's right, cause I'm trying to get my shots
and not have them to, I'm not trying to eat a shot
off of a couch, I need to get it straight from a butthole.
Okay.
So tell me what's going on with the W now.
The last time we checked in with you
a little over a month ago, I think,
you had about nine people who were staying at the hotel,
including Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron.
But you were telling me off air
that things have changed there.
Yeah, things have changed there.
Now we have about 35 people living there.
And OK, so your fortunes have improved.
Yeah, everybody there has covered it, but oh,
but there's like 35 of us living there.
We all have a great time.
Everybody goes around and has my suit so that no one will catch it from each other.
Everyone different.
But everyone has it.
Right, everyone has it,
but we're trying not to get it again.
Oh, I see.
Okay, you don't want to double up the dose.
Uh-huh.
Is Leo still there or is it Charlize?
Are they still there?
Oh, Leo's still there.
Charlize is still there.
Can I just say capital A N N O Y I N G?
I'm trying to follow this. N N O Y I N G.
I'm trying to follow this capital A O Y I N G. Capital A N N O Y I N G, annoying.
Oh annoying, capital A double N O Y N G, okay thank you.
They're annoying to you really.
They are annoying to me because it's constantly like,
oh I feel like doing something.
Oh, I feel like having to swim.
I feel like having room service,
but they want me to do all of it with them.
So I'm just like, stop being weird.
Because you like to sort of give people the whip
as well as the carrot, is that right?
Well, people who are staying there for now
during the pandemic, don't cause any mess at the W.
Please stop bringing everybody's spirits down, Charlize.
What is Charlize Theron doing that's causing a mess?
I mean, she seems like a very tidy person, by the way.
Charlize Theron is in The Old Guard,
currently streaming on Netflix.
Believe me, she talks about it constantly.
I watched it five times with her
because she makes me watch it with her.
Yes, she is a tidy person behind closed doors.
Once she gets into a communal space like a lobby or a kitchen,
she literally, literally starts pissing.
What? Really?
The second she crosses the threshold of a communal space, she starts projectile pissing. What? Really? The second she crosses the threshold of a communal space,
she starts projectile pissing.
This is disgusting.
And I'm going to have to ask if you have any sort of hidden
camera video of this that I could be sent off air.
Yeah, you do. Okay.
We are compiling a montage.
It's about three and a half hours long.
Oh, right. So it's like a girl's gone wild video tape.
Yeah, but it will be called Charlize Theron goes wild
from pissing in communal spaces.
Okay, well, I think that's gonna be very popular.
That's one of your side hustles.
I think that we'll be actually.
We'll sell it at the hot dog truck
where I sell carrots inside of hot dog buns.
Now I thought that it was cucumbers.
You switched to carrots?
Carrots is a new development.
Okay, well I don't know that we have time
to talk about this shattering new development of carrots.
We probably don't, but just know that some people
like a more sturdy, hard hot dog.
A carrot will never give up.
Wonderful words in this time of uncertainty.
We could all be a little more like carrots, could we not?
I don't think I'm not getting some shirts printed
of this right now.
Do it.
It's like in a comic sans font that says,
during these times of pandemic, we could all stand
to be more like a carrot.
I don't know that I have that kind of time
to put into a t-shirt. You know, I.
Well, all you have to do is put it on sky.
No, I'm just saying, like, if I'm going to read a T-shirt, I think four words,
five words, you know, mustache rides, five cents.
That's the perfect T-shirt.
That is a pretty great T-shirt.
So are you are you still having topless Tuesdays out there at the W or?
Topless Tuesdays, Wednesdays, now also Thursdays.
Oh, OK. So you've taken over the entire middle of the week.
Just the middle, because people still need to have a weekend
that they feel like is different from the week.
So do you have another?
I mean, the T-shirt business obviously is something that's expanding for you.
But do you have any other kind of things that you're doing
or hobbies or ways to occupy your time
during the quarantine here?
We started at 30, but you know how, if you have a plant,
that sometimes it will just, it will start to go bad.
Sure, a plant, yeah.
In fact, I have one right here behind me.
I'm not sure if that's why you,
that's why you thought of it.
Well, we take only plants that are going bad
and then we put them in places like parks.
Oh, OK. What does that do for them?
Does that make them grow better or does it make the park look shittier?
Well, because people are getting depressed in their houses.
They are like looking at the plants and like, oh, man, what am I supposed to do?
I'm just like this plant. I'm wilting, I'm dying,
we're all gonna die, this quarantine is gonna kill us.
You want it out of your sight.
So call my business, we'll come get you a plant
that's going bad, we'll take it to the park.
Which park are you using by the way?
All child's parks in the city,
where any place where they got something
you can climb on, slide on, play on,
that's where we're gonna put the dead plants.
Sorry, kids, sometimes you got to do things
in honor of adults.
Well, Bean Dip, it's always great to see you.
I want you to act as my cohost during this episode,
if that's okay.
I need your constant input, if that's all right.
I would love to give you constant input,
but hey, I can't go easy.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, I really want you to hold our guests feet
to the fire if that's okay.
I mean, if there's any sort of,
if you think that they're wriggling out of question
and look, the problem is, is I'm the host of the show
and I also book it and I need people to want to come back.
And so I take it easy on people and it's access journalism at its worst but I need you there by my side just really you know
piercing through and asking the tough questions. Easy. So what's tough for me is easy for you.
Simple for me is it's snap, cinch. Okay very good. All right well we do need to get to our first
guest our guest of honor if that's okay. He is the aforementioned standup comedian slash actor. And we don't know which
he considers himself to be more, but he is a regular on the television program Black
Monday, whose season finale, we got him right here over the wire, was last night on Sunday,
but all episodes are still
streaming on the Showtime app as well as other places.
He's a very funny guy, please welcome.
First time on the show, please welcome Yasser Lester.
Hello.
Thanks for having me.
You are, look, the burning question that's been on
everyone's mind, are you a standup comedian,
are you an actor, are you both?
What is going on?
Okay, first, I am an opioid dealer. That is my passion. That is where my heart is.
Number two, I would say stand-up comedian. That's where I, you know, that's where I started.
Writer, then actor, and then opioid dealer. I started as a baby, but I wouldn't call myself a baby currently.
Right.
But the thing that I do technically the most is sell opioids.
Okay.
I guess I'm not technically a baby.
Yeah.
But here's the thing.
If you go in a long enough timeline, you're technically always a baby, right?
Compared to a tortoise that lives to be like 176, like you're a baby. You're just a bigger baby.
That's a good point. And some people never get to be anything other than a baby.
Yeah. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about,
I want to talk about all these babies who bounced early, huh?
Yes, sir. It's great to have you.
You are a great stand up comedian and a very funny
Twitter follow. You've been on fire during these during the tumultuous events of the
past few months.
Mm hmm. I took the pandemic and a war against the cops and racial equality, racial inequality.
And I turned you call it racial equality.
Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting point of view.
Well, here's the I'm on the opposite end of it.
Like, I'm just like, oh, things feel fine.
That's that's been my whole platform is things feel fine.
It's it's just me and Terry Crews.
Let's talk about Black Monday because it truly is one of my favorite television shows.
It's so funny and flying a little bit under the radar, the season that's currently out
was interrupted by the quarantine and you play a wonderful character who's so different
from yourself.
Describe this character and tell us his name.
Well, the character's name is Yasser.
He looks like me.
He sounds like me.
He's as tall as me.
I always thought that he was like three inches shorter.
That's interesting.
Oh, no, that's it's because I'm sitting a lot.
OK, everyone else is on an Apple box as well.
Yeah. Here's one of the keys.
When you're not good at acting,
if you just make sure the character is exactly you
and then people never know the real you,
they think you're good at playing someone else.
Interesting.
It's really just me with different glasses, Scotty boy.
What would you say is hard about acting though?
Because do you not memorize the lines or?
I mean, there's the lines thing.
There's like the other people being better than you thing.
So you're intimidated all the time.
I think the hardest part about acting is believability.
Is that what you would say?
I would say equal parts believability and eating disorder.
Those are the two things that you gotta make sure,
oh buddy, you just gotta eat apples
for six months at a time, that's it.
Don't eat anything else.
You eat a few apples,
you try to convince Don Cheadle not to fire you,
you move on.
So describe Yasser's role on the show. You are, well, first of all,
let's just talk about the show itself. Black Monday. What does it mean? Let's break it
down. Black. Okay. We all know what that means. Monday, day of the week. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. But what, what, what is this show? I mean, it's a, it's a period piece. It's set
in the 1980s, I believe. Yes. So Black Monday was the largest single day crash in financial, in American financial history.
Not a lot of people know that, you know, we think of, you know,
Great Depression times and all that stuff, but this is, this is actually the biggest.
Until actually recently under King Trump, who we love, we can't say enough good things about him.
I know people call him
like Commander in Cheeto. I call him Emperor Beautiful. There's not enough
things. I just love how sexy he is. I call him, and this is this is kind of mean.
Yeah. And I don't mean to, but I call him the Orange in Chief. Oh no. I'm sorry.
Like here's the thing.
I we're going to keep the interview going.
But honestly, if you talk about it like that again, I don't know.
OK, I'm sorry. I apologize.
Personally, Scott, if you're going to.
Oh, my God.
I forgot you were here.
But sorry, I just wanted to hear you also talk about his show.
But I got to jump in.
You if you have to be nice about it, you have to call it like the beautiful
great for who's the boss.
Okay.
Grapefruit boss.
Thank you.
Boss grapefruit.
Well, it's like, I understand it, Scott.
He's trying to tell you.
Why weren't we talking about him?
I don't remember.
Um, so there was a large financial crash then.
Uh, so the show is about, it started as like, you know, the first season was
building up to this one day crash, you know, it was following the year leading up to that crash.
And now the second season is kind of been like what the characters lives have been like since since this crash because one character played by Don Cheadle was trying to essentially short the market so he'd make a bunch of people found out about it, Regina Hall, Andrew Rannells, who are the other characters on the show,
and figured out how to swindle him out of the money
that he was trying to swindle them out of.
And now, this second season has been about like,
you know, their strained relationships,
and how do they come back from that?
And then on the show, I play a janitor who,
every once in a while pops in and goes,
"'Y'all need anything?
"'Y'all need me to take out the trash? Y'all need me to take out the trash?
Why are you paying me?
If anyone needs an office vacuum, let me know.
And then, and that's pretty much it.
Now, that is, of course, you are exaggerating.
You play a very funny character.
I play a financial trader.
I play like the youngest person in the office.
So like a young financial trader named Yasser who like, uh, is clearly like on
the cusp of like, you know, like what the nineties are going to be like in a
little, a little more cosmopolitan and thought, you know, and a little more
contemporary and thought I should say.
Uh, but also very much an idiot who, you know, does cocaine, but is also a must
of them. It's not great.
You know, when people talk about cancelling things in the future, it feels
like this might be one of those things that I end up a power dancing for.
Right now, right now, mama's having fun. Yeah. So because you're playing a Muslim,
are you a Muslim? In real life? No. So here's what happened.
David Casp and Jordan Cahan wrote the pilot,
Friends of Yours.
They originally wrote the character as an Indian guy.
And they're like, hey, this would be a fun little thing.
It was just supposed to be like a one-off thing.
They're like, you should just do this role.
And I was like, cool, but we will get in trouble.
Like, my mom is black and though I haven't met him,
my dad is Palestinian.
I was like, so we can do that.
Like I can dress like Yasser Arafat,
but I absolutely me showing up
in a turban is bad news.
So we filmed it with me
as an Indian anyway.
And then when the network came back
and said no go, I changed it.
Oh, I got to see that footage.
Hey, you can't stop me.
You know who would who would tell Van Gogh not to cut off his ear, man?
You wouldn't. You'd let him cut off his ear and keep paying.
Well, it's it's a really funny show.
You you work a lot with Horatio, our old friend Horatio.
You have a lot of scenes with him.
And it's like you guys are buddies in the office together.
Yeah. I mean like in a show full of idiots, we are the stupidest.
You really are. You know what I mean?
Like the schemes that the two of you get up to are just insanely dumb.
But I also, luckily every other, you know, part of the show requires some formal training in terms of like saying any kind of word
dramatically. I can't do that, you know. I know Horatio can, but like, you know, he loves being
a goofball. So I think that's kind of where they're like, oh yeah, it might be fun if those two just
are not around. And everyone's like, yeah, that feels good. And me and Horatio are kind of like, yeah, cool.
Yeah, don't put us on the posters either.
Well, I mean, I was wondering what it was going to be like,
because you know, showtime comedies are usually
these kind of dramedies.
I'd never saw House of Pies.
But usually they're kind of these sort of half comedy,
half dramas.
And so I was sort of expecting that with Black Monday, but it's just a straight up like silly.
I mean, there are some dramatic stuff in it, but the majority of it is just like, you know,
the minute that Don Cheadle karate kicked a door open in the pilot, I was like, oh,
okay, I'm loving this tone.
Yeah.
It's, you know, I know we go a little darker than Ray Donovan.
Of course, it's hard not to know we handle, you know, yeah.
Bean dip, I know you've seen it and you text me from time to time and be like,
wow, this is this is going a little harder than Homeland.
But we also still like to have fun, you know, respected because when I do text
when I do text you about it,
I'm going to say, I'm not sure about tonight.
I'm not sure about how far you guys went.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're very polite when you bite back and you say, look,
we had to do what we had to do.
I didn't know that you guys knew each other.
And Bean Dip, you promised you were
going to go hard at the questioning,
and you've just been like pitching softballs.
Okay, ready?
I'm ready for you to do this.
Yes, go.
This is a question that me and Yasser wanna know.
How come you all be such a dick to him?
Not softballs at me and him.
Oh.
You're my co-host.
Oh.
You're supposed to be the one interrogating Yasser.
OK, well, how do you answer?
How do you get so I answer?
How do you get so talented?
How Scott to get to be such a dick?
I don't I don't know if I'm comfortable answering that, to be honest.
That's a little.
Which part of me being a dick part or the you being handsome?
No, that I mean, I feel like that's the softball.
How am I supposed to answer the other two things?
I don't know. Well, it's a great show.
And I really want people to check it out.
People can watch all of the episodes right now on the Showtime app
or they're all being repeated on Showtime, I would imagine.
But it's really funny.
And, you know, I think, like I said, flying a little under the radar,
which is the Harrison Ford special,
but it's not good when you're a plane, certainly,
unless you're trying to evade capture.
But for a television show,
you also want to be a little over the radar.
You wanna be in the radar.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, are you kidding me? You want missiles pointed, man. Sure. You wanna, you know, you want people to be a little over the radar. You want to be in the radar. You know what I mean? Are you kidding me?
You want missiles pointed, man.
Sure.
You know, you want people to be like, take it down.
All right, well, we need to take a break.
Bean Dip, anything you want to say before we go to break?
I just want to tell Scott, you to please be best.
Okay, thank you very much.
Good advice.
When we come back, we're going to have a financial
advisor. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back here. My co-host Bean Dip is here and she is transmitting from
the W Hotel. You're up there on the roof, it looks like.
That's right. We're over on the roof today. I have a tarp wrapped around me so that you can't hear the wind.
It is very windy out.
We also have Yasser Lester here from Black Monday,
all 20 episodes available to be binged.
I mean, what else are you doing during this?
You know, we're all just sitting around.
Why not watch Black Monday?
Yeah. Am I right?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's been the big thing everyone's saying is what else are you doing?
Try this show.
Everyone says like, oh, there's too much TV.
There's too much TV.
And also people are saying like, when are new movies coming out?
Well, you can't have it both ways.
Watch all the old stuff that you haven't gotten around to.
True.
But that being said, I did buy out a theater full of children.
We're all going to see Christopher Nolan's tenant together.
Whoa.
No masks, sharing one soda, no straw.
It's mouth to it's lips on the cup.
And we're passing it from person to person, much like Jesus and the fish.
I don't know how it's going to multiply, but I'm pretty sure we'll be okay.
Well, we do need to get to our next guest.
He is the aforementioned financial advisor.
Oh, he's a returning guest.
He's been on the show several times.
Please welcome back to the show Douglas Gropes.
Hi, Scott. Hi. Hi.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for having me.
I know it's not an easy time for anyone.
Think about where we are.
Think about what we're doing, right?
Think about all this. What a magical time.
Also, it's not easy.
It's not easy having you back on the show
because you've given such poor financial advice in the past.
And that's how it feels.
It feels like I have not succeeded in the past.
It feels like I've fallen down on my face
so many times in a row,
but that is the key to somebody who finally will succeed.
Financially will succeed.
Financially finally will succeed.
You keep trying to get up and you walk forward.
Don't run, go slow.
Look to fall again.
Very good.
So what have you been doing since everything's happened?
You know, I was living in my car
and I'm not bragging about that.
I'm just trying to make it sound like a cool thing.
But from there, I went during this whole,
the COVID crisis, I found an opportunity
where I could go into places that are no longer open.
And I basically could have a,
have you ever heard of the term frogging?
I know the video game Frogger.
It's like that, except it's kind of it's different.
It's where you go into people's houses during the day when they're working
and you basically live in their house while they're gone.
And then you find a little secret spot, a little secret spot to hide at night
when they come home and they don't even know you're there.
Maybe you play with them a little bit
by eating a few extra blueberries out of the refrigerator.
So they go, where, hey, where are my blueberries?
And you living up in the attic,
you actually know where the blueberries, you ate them.
You chuckle silently to yourself,
oh, I'm the one who ate them.
Well, but that's where I've been staying.
I've been frogging at some people's houses,
at an AMC movie theater I've been frogging,
and the entire UCLA campus I have had to myself.
It's honestly beautiful.
And it's probably the richest lifestyle I've ever led.
And it's all because of the opportunity
of what's happening in society today.
What's the number one thing in the world that people need?
And it's not besides, besides things like love and water in a bathroom.
Food, shelter.
Food, a shelter, a place to play after school.
No, it's the number one thing that people need.
And this is something that I came up with and I thought about as I was frogging, to play after school. You know, it's the number one thing that people need.
And this is something that I came up with
and I thought about as I was frogging
and I had a lot of time by myself to think
of what's my next opportunity gonna be.
And I figured it out.
What is it?
Gorgeous cars.
Gorgeous cars are very important
but not more important than this, Bean Dip.
Delivery service. Delivery service.
Delivery service.
And in today's day and age, delivery service is honestly the number one needed product
in the American and worldwide economic system.
Did you get a think about it?
Did you know that?
I guess I didn't know.
I didn't know it.
You didn't know that. And I didn't know it until I did a certain amount of
research. So the company offshoot of my other companies
is called you get it. You get it. You get it. You have to say
with a question mark kind of going up at the end you get it.
You have to say otherwise people are just making an assumption
you get it. You get it.
You get it.
So I'm being polite.
I'm being polite.
That's right.
Being did you get it?
You get it.
I'm starting too high.
I'm starting to, I got to start lower.
You can do it.
You get it.
Well, I was starting, no, I was starting too high.
I couldn't get quite up to the top of the notes.
Start lower then.
Start lower.
You get it.
That's great.
That's great.
Is that okay? I love hearing my plan come to life. Hearing you guys say That's great. That's great. I love
hearing my plan come to life. Hearing you guys say that it
makes me so happy. Here's how it works. And it's so simple. It's
so simple. So you you have something you need delivered,
say it's a box of a bunch of soft cakes, a bunch of soft
cakes that you need delivered. And I don't know, you could
have them delivered anywhere in the world.
Anywhere in the world, you need your soft cakes delivered
somewhere in the world. Soft cakes, you come to me and I go,
I'm going to deliver those soft cakes for it. And you give me
just a simple flat fee, plus other charges. And what I do
from there is I go ahead and deliver that to where you need
it delivered. It's a $35 ahead and deliver that to where you need it delivered.
It's a $35 flat fee, no matter where you want it delivered, plus some other charges.
Mr.
Groves.
Yes.
Yes.
If I want a bunch of softcakes delivered to the Javier in Hollywood, how do I get
out of touch with you?
Do you have a storefront?
Bean dip.
That's such a great question.
Yeah.
It sounds like we have to come to you.
Is that that?
You would come to me wherever I'm frogging at the moment.
Currently it's at Theater 16
at the Universal CityWalk theaters.
Oh, okay.
That's one of the big ones.
Yeah, that is a balcony.
You can say that again.
It is one of the big ones.
It has stadium seating
and I've slept in every single chair.
Now, listen, step two, now you owe me three deliveries
for whatever I need delivered from somebody else.
You become somebody who now will deliver three things
for me wherever they need to go in the world.
So I pay you $35 plus some other charges
and then I also owe you.
I need to deliver three things for you.
No, you get to deliver you.
You're able to deliver three things for me,
one of which may be the original soft
cakes that you want to deliver.
OK, maybe it doesn't have to be,
but it could be, which is amazing
to think of like what could be.
Do we get paid the $35 for each delivery?
The, for the additional three, no,
those will be funneled through me
where I will collect the $35 plus some other charges.
Once you deliver the three other items, then you are free.
Until then, you're sorta like my friend slash employee.
Mr. Groves.
Yeah, Bean Dip, hi.
Hi.
This is Sally Gray.
Could you break down for us a little bit
of the extra charges?
That's a great question and I'm glad you asked it.
So step four, step four, after you are free
from your- There's a step after that.
Okay, I thought that would be the last step once you're free.
You do commit to one year of any time you send something that you have to return to me.
It's sort of like a contract, and it's only like a contract.
So it's like you sign off on it.
It's like the Rumpelstiltskin clause or something like for a full year.
We have to come back to you to.
That's exactly what it's called, the Rumpelstiltskin clause.
And and I'm glad you brought that up.
It's almost like is this where like you kill Rumpelstiltskin
and you become him like the Santa Claus?
God, I wish that could happen.
And maybe it can because anything can happen in today's world.
Now, I know what you're saying.
What if I don't want to deliver these things?
What if I don't want to go, say, to do? I don't wanna deliver these things, what if I don't wanna go say to do, I don't know, anything,
like a soft, a box of soft cakes,
and I don't wanna take that to Orlando.
Why do we keep talking about soft cakes?
Have you delivered anything,
and I'm just asking sincerely,
have you delivered anything besides a soft cake yet?
That's a great question, and I'm glad you brought it up,
and questions are the lifeblood of my business.
Right, right. I want you to know I have delivered a couple packages, And I'm glad you brought it up. And questions are the lifeblood of my business. Right.
I want you to know, I have delivered a couple packages,
but only so far one.
And it was a box of soft, beautifully so soft cakes,
almost undercooked cakes.
And I did deliver them.
So batter, you delivered batter.
Yeah, batter?
Yes, mushy batter.
Just liquid batter in a delivered batter. Yeah, batter? Yeah. Mushy batter? Just liquid batter in a cardboard box.
Yeah.
And it didn't, that part, we have to look past that
because that was, every business is going to go through its growing pains.
And that didn't work out.
That delivery didn't actually occur because the batter did soak the cardboard
so much that it actually, and you're not going to believe this,
it soaked through and leaked all over the street.
We believe it.
Yeah, there's no part of me that doesn't believe it.
I know, it's unbelievable.
So what I'm saying is now we can move forward, right?
We're starting to recognize the mistakes
that I've had early on in the business,
and now I'm ready to do a full launch, a full launch.
What is step four?
We have to come back to you within a year?
Step four is that you've signed off
on a one-year contract with me.
And now when you do sign that contract,
you have a choice.
You can either have it one year or lifelong.
Now for lifelong, it's the same price.
Okay, well, you know, they say with businesses,
like the people that are investing,
Yeah.
their biggest, what they come to the table with is the problems. So you can prove
that you have a solution. You say problems, I say wet wipes. Because they clean you up.
Okay, but that's for the better. My question is, you know, like the post office, you can mail
something. Wonderful place. I've never said anything bad about it ever. I love the USPS.
But the thing about the post office is if you like give them a package, you pay and
then you don't owe them a favor.
So it pretty much ends the transaction right.
Right. Right. And if that's what you're into, look, I'm not going to sit here and try to
convince you that my business is better than the post office.
Oh, you should be. Mine is better.
Yeah, that's I'm going to sit here and tell you that having
owing favors to friends, not just business partners,
is something that keeps you healthy
and it keeps you gritty.
And I also want to say, what's one of the biggest problems
that is happening in this whole COVID crisis
is that people aren't able to get their unemployment
because they have jobs and they're making money. With my system, with my system, you wouldn't be able to have
a job because you'd be too busy traveling. You'd be too busy traveling and so I wait,
I'm sorry, soft cake batter, which by the way, we're now delivering in bags inside the
cardboard box tied up.
Okay.
So wait, I just want to make sure.
So you're the business also doesn't count as a job.
You said that.
And why would it?
That's one of the, I did a study.
These are favors.
Yes, sir.
These are favors.
These are favors between friends.
I'm sorry.
I did a study and I interviewed all these people,
three people and I asked them,
two of them didn't answer me.
And one of them said,
my least favorite thing is a job, least favorite.
So according to my study,
people's least favorite thing is a job.
So why would you not wanna take them away from that job?
Was this a study where you were walking around saying,
working hard or hardly working to people?
This that did coincide with that study. If that's what you're asking, the the number one thing you want to do in business is multi study. So you just don't do one study at a time. These were people
that were sitting in the movie theater the last day that it was opened. And I asked Mr. Groves,
Mr. Groves. Hi, Bean Dip. Hi.
Hi. Um, I was wondering, you said something about that will keep you gritty.
Listen, do I mean keep you gritty?
Keep you tough?
Yeah.
But I also mean keep you dirty, keep you dirty because I put you on a
timeline where you're not going to have time to clean yourself or take showers.
You're going to have to have these packages delivered overnight. Sometimes every time overnight, no matter where it is in the world. Will it be on
your dime? Yeah. Getting back to those extra charges that you're going to have to travel
yourself. You have to pay for that travel yourself. And I do not want you traveling coach pay for the
upgrade. What's the thing you get out of this? You just become a better person?
Well, you become a...
You become a better person.
You get the excitement.
Have you ever done a favor for a friend
and it feels good, right?
I see where you're coming from.
And this is where the name of the company comes in.
You get it?
You get it.
Because they will get one email.
You get it.
The people who are supposed to get the package get one email the next day.
No, nothing in the text of the email, just in the subject line.
It says, you get it, question mark, and says, don't respond.
Don't respond to this email.
Tell me right now, are you in or are
you in real hard?
Okay, I'm ready to answer this question. I think I'm in but I
need to answer a couple of things. One. Are you? Where are
you right now?
I am in seat 6A of the AMC Theater 16
at the City Walk in Los Angeles, California.
Universal City.
I am not supposed to be here.
You might hear an excitement to the tone of my voice,
but there's also a whisper
because we do have a security guard who comes up and down
and I have to time it out.
So every once in a while, I'm going to have to get quiet.
Okay.
That's, that's cool.
Wait, can I ask a question, Mr. Groves?
I'm so sorry.
You got it.
I, I just, you know, I, as someone who is excited about this, I, I want to
clarify that I just, I, I'm pretty much on board.
I just is one more thing because when you introduced the idea, you said it
was to get something delivered, it was $35 and then extra fees.
And then as you went on later,
you said that as you being the person
who has to do the delivery,
you actually incur the extra fees.
You got it.
See, that's what-
So those are the extra fees.
This is working.
You guys are understanding.
The $35 plus extra fees goes to me.
The charges that you get to spend, you're allowed to spend, come out of your own pocket.
And why? Because those are expenditures that are going to fulfill you and make you feel great about life.
Getting excited.
So we're paying extra charges twice because if we're getting something delivered, we're paying extra charges.
And then also, yes, absolutely.
And here's the best part.
Here's the best part.
No tips allowed.
So if you deliver something, I have a strict no tip policy.
The most they can do is offer you a little bit of the product that got delivered.
So if you do want some of the very soft, almost wet,
it's like a wet cake.
If you do want some of that, they may offer it.
You can't ask for it, but you might walk away.
Why is that?
How come that's all you deliver?
Well, so far, I'm just coming up with examples.
It's the one thing that you've delivered at this point.
You could get anything delivered,
say besides you want something other than wet cake. Can you think of one one thing that you've delivered at this point. So you could get anything delivered, say, besides you want
something. Can you think of one other
thing that you can have a big box of wet
cookies, just a box of wet fluffy, um, like,
uh, not soggy, but wet. Any non batter
related things that you can most of the
majority of things delivered are going to
be batter related and why?
Well, that's just something we're best at
and we have experience doing.
But guys, here's what I'm saying.
It's easy to get down right now.
It's real easy to get down
and with everything that's happening,
how great would it be to get outside,
grab stuff that somebody else has owned
and wants you to go deliver it to somebody else.
Take a nice relaxing, probably pretty long flight,
but possibly terribly short flight.
Right.
So this is all pre-owned stuff?
Well, that's part of our system.
This is a good question.
You can't, because it's coming from people's houses,
it has to have been owned by them,
even for a brief period of time.
Okay, so you're not allowed to ship anything
that you don't own?
No, and they will transfer ownership to me.
So if I do, say I chose to keep it,
say they had like a box of-
Wait, I'm sorry, you could keep it?
You can keep the thing that they gave you?
Well, of course, it would be silly if they, if you couldn't keep it, that wouldn't make sense, keep it? You can keep the thing that they gave you? Well, of course it would be silly if you couldn't keep it.
That wouldn't make sense, would it?
Say someone loans you something, like, I don't know,
just as an example, some soft, soft cakes.
Well, if I want to ship something myself,
if it's my box of wet, soggy, wet, wet cakes.
Why did you have this box to begin with?
Well, honestly, they weren't supposed to be wet
or soggy.
They were supposed to be fully cooked cakes at this point?
It was somebody, it was from a previous business
that I had called Wedding.
Wedding, you have anyone?
Wedding, W-E-T-T?
No, Wedding.
Well, that's where things got confused.
Because the baker that I had make the cake,
he assumed because I spelt it W-E-T-T.
He assumed you wanted it just to be bad.
He did. And I don't know.
I don't know what happened, but I still tried to send them.
And it didn't work out.
But but could it get better? Can work out. But could it get better?
Can it get better?
Will it get better?
You should answer, you should say yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, then yes, then yes.
If you guys are backing me up, then yes.
If you're not backing me up, then, you know,
I've got a lot of things to think about.
And I've got to, I didn't want to bring it up,
but I know I have to be out of the AMC.
By the time 10 it opens.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
Cause 10 is coming out baby.
And I got, I got a theater full of kids that are excited to see it.
Well, so Gropes, are you crying?
You're also swallowing a lot, which is just like a, because
it feels like a cool choice.
Are a way of hiding when you have so little hydration that I've had.
Cause the soda machine stopped working about honestly, about six weeks ago, the soda machine stopped working.
So I've been recycling all the liquid in my body since then.
So wait, but you haven't been drinking water?
No, no, all the faucets and the plumbing is down. So it's not a, it's been pretty hard.
I have been drinking urine.
I filter it.
Through what?
Through a seat.
Through a seat?
Through a movie theater seat?
Yes, through a movie.
So hang on.
So you sit on the movie theater seat
and you let your dangle dangle drip piss
out of it through a seat. Then you put a cup underneath to catch your own piss through
a movie theater seat?
I wish I had a cup. I have to time it out so that I pee through the seat and then I
quickly go down and like I'm changing oil in a car. I shove myself underneath the seat
and I just wait and I wait. And by the way, I lose
a couple drops each time. So I'm down to a very short, small urine process right now.
Let me tell you something. You need to talk to Charlie if they're wrong.
You heard that previous segment, your mouth must have been watering.
you heard that previous segment, your mouth must have been watering.
To be honest. Yeah. I'm very, so if you ask me, if you look at me and you see me crying and I'm drinking my tears, hell yeah,
I'm drinking my tears.
And that's part of the reason I have to get out of here cause I have to go find a
water source.
I don't know. Are you guys in? I, this doesn't seem like a,
tell me you're in.
I'll say this. I don't know a lot about like money and investing, but I have $35. And then
you're in that feels like I'm in as well. I mean, dips in and I think I think you should come live
at the top of your in Hollywood. That's an invitation extension. That's the nicest thing
anybody has ever said to me. And yes, I will take you up on that.
In fact, I will, I'm on my way now.
Great. Well, we have one.
You dummy.
I'm in too, I guess.
Scott's in.
We got a business, guys.
We got a business.
So I'm going to give you guys this right off the bat.
I'm going to give you a trial run.
I have sent a just something random to your places.
And by that, I mean, you guys can come pick them up
at the W when I get there, but these are boxes of,
these are boxes of soft, wet cakes.
Oh, chocolate?
Yeah, how could we have known?
Different flavors.
Okay, that's twist, late third act twist.
You guys gotta go today.
Oh, today?
Oh, all right.
Well, you know, we still have one segment left on the show.
Is that okay to finish it out right after that?
Okay, tell you what, we do need to take a break.
When we come back, we're gonna have a singer on the show.
That's very exciting.
We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
Comedy Bang Bang, we are back. We have Yasser Lester, who is from Black Monday.
All episodes and I'm talking 20 of them are available to be streamed right now.
We also have Beam Dip here from the W Hotel,
who has graciously offered a room
to our other guest, Douglas Groves.
And Douglas, it looks like you've arrived
at the W already.
I mean, that was a quick trip down the 101 freeway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I flew.
Oh, jeez.
Yeah.
From the Burbank airport?
Helicopter from AMC.
Helicopter. And you guys, just as like a favor, will split that cost.
Hmm. Okay.
Well, also, I need Mr. Groves to be clear. The only reason he came in a helicopter here is because he is injured.
That is true.
Yeah. How are you injured? What exactly happened? Well, because of my dehydration, I have lost the tips of each of the ends
of all my extremities, just the tips.
So 10 toes, 10 fingers, and a penis?
Oh.
Yeah, I said the tips, yes.
Just the tip.
Just the tips.
So yours, can I just ask, yours just ends?
Like an infinity pool. like an infinity pool.
Yeah. Can you see the sunset off that thing? Yeah. Oh, you have no idea. Well, speaking of no idea,
I have no idea who our next guest is. This is the 66th episode after the 600th episode, which makes that, I guess, episode 666.
And we have a singer, I'm being told,
coming onto the show.
And let me introduce him here.
Let me get his information here.
And, oh, wait a minute.
This, I know who this is.
This, this is a singer we've had on the show before.
Please welcome back to the show Leo Carpazzi.
Thank you.
Thank you, Scott.
What a thrill to return to the program on your 666th episode.
What a milestone.
Yeah, I not really.
I mean, it's not like 650 or it's not like breaking off another hundo or anything like
that.
But what are you doing here, Leo?
Don't I usually see you in October?
Yes.
Well, because it's the 666 episode, which is the number of the beast
famously associated with the macabre.
It's a human number.
A human number.
But I am a but you know, it's associated with devilry, with Lucifer, with Satan,
whatever name you want to call him.
And I am I too am associated with.
The dark arts. I, as you know, have composed one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest Halloween novelty song of all time,
The Monster Mash, back in 1962, popularized by Bobby Boras Pickett that same year.
Now, exact same year. Was that a coincidence that he popularized it that exact same year?
Was that a coincidence that he popularized it that exact same year?
Well, I guess it was kind of the studio. The label had paired me, the songwriter with Bobby
Boris Pickett, the front man, and said, you take this ball and run with it.
And I did the job I was hired to do.
And he he went and became a.
So that was the normal process was someone would write a song
and then the person would popularize it within 12 calendar months.
Yes. In the same way that Lennon and McCartney popularized many of their own songs
immediately. It's the same process.
Well, not immediately. They would usually have to record it.
They wouldn't, you know, as they were playing it, it wouldn't become popular.
No, there is a little bit of lead time associated with the recording industry.
But I wrote the song, the Monster Mash, in 1962.
And as I've explained on the show before, the one that became popular was not my original
vision for the song.
That's right.
We've heard your original plans for the Monster Mash.
What exactly were those plans?
Well, the monster imagery that I created for the original version was just too vivid, too
disturbing, and the label would not allow it to see the light of the day.
Too descriptive.
Too descriptive.
So I came up with the sanitized version.
That's the one that everyone knows and loves, sings every Halloween.
And the one that we all know and love, how does that go? That goes something like
Dracula's Bobbin Apples or I can't really remember the words.
Yeah, I mean there's a lot that goes on. Honestly, I've kind of lost familiarity with it.
I don't think I've ever heard it as much as your version, which I've heard far too many times.
Yeah, well, I'm here for your 666 episode with some big news, which is that when I've come on the show before, I always say that I have a new song, a new composition, and I end up playing the same song that I always do, my original version of the Monster Mash.
Well, things have changed.
Oh. Things have changed. Oh, I wrote a new song for your 666 episode.
And let me tell you, I'm aware of my raunchy reputation and I leaned into it.
I'm not I'm not running away from it.
This time, I'm leading into it. You're leaning into.
OK, so you've always been sort of like, you know,
modern day Andrew Dice Clay, who's trying to distance himself
from his hickory dickory dock days. Right.
Like, you know, I predate I predate the Dice Man.
I mean, I was on the scene in the 60s.
I mean, he cometh back in the late 80s.
That's true. And you were having your monsters cometh, you know, back in the 60s.
We both had our blue periods that we distance ourselves from.
But I have I have decided, you know what? That's
what I'm known for. That's my gimmick. I've composed a new song for your 666 episode and it is a little
lewd. It is called. So it's blue. It's blue. Okay. And it is called, but also red, like the flames of hell.
Okay. Because it is so macabre. Like that denizen of the underworld, Satan himself. That's correct. With his pointy tail, horns, his pitchfork.
Poke you in the butt with it.
Sure.
It's no good.
The song that I have composed is called,
again, I'm leaning to the ranch,
Six Six Sex.
Six Six Sex.
Now is this, are the two sixes spelled out?
So the title looks symmetrical or is it the number six,
the number six and then sex?
I didn't think of how to put it to paper,
but I think your first pitch is better.
I think we'd write out six.
Like the word six, six, six.
What about a combo?
Like a, so it's at least,
it's kind of like a teeter totter with two words at the end.
It's like a six and then a number six and then sex at the end.
So it's like, wow, this could go anywhere.
That to me, I'm picturing that and that's,
that seems like the name of a SoundCloud rapper, which is really not my aesthetic.
But I like it. I still like six, six sex. Let's do it.
The first one's the word, the second one's a number and the third one's the word.
OK, so this is a here's the issue to me, Leo. Yes. Every time you've come on the show and you've
done it at this point seven times at least. That's correct. Usually on the Halloween shows,
you lure me in by saying you've written a new song, you tell me the title title and it sounds like it's going to be a new song. And then you just sing the same song over and over with no variation.
I just want to make sure that that's not happening anymore because that's why I stopped asking
you on the show in the first place.
Right.
Scott, I assure you, this is a completely new song that I wrote from scratch.
Look, can you swear on a loved one's life?
I know that you wasn't your daughter,
Scarra Line. Didn't she die?
You said the last time you were on the show.
Yes, my granddaughter, Scarra Line,
unfortunately passed away, but she did
participate in this new song.
She laid down her vocals from heaven.
Oh, she does have a presence on this,
this all new track.
OK, well, you will you at least say that should you be lying that, that your granddaughter
scare line will be cast out of heaven and be submerged in the pits of hell at the very
least?
I, in a, I will say that in a heartbeat.
Because you're telling the truth.
Yes.
Made my granddaughter be cast out of heaven and into hell.
If this is not a wholly original song.
All right, well, those are the assurances I need.
So, okay.
Okay.
I'm willing to hear this.
Okay, so this is a brand new song.
This is exciting.
This is Leo Carpazzi who has not written a song since 1962,
the same year that his previous song was popularized.
This is a brand new song called 6 6 sex by leo carpazzi let's hear it
i was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight for my monster from his slab
began to rise and suddenly to my surprise his trousers dropped right to
the floor with his bottom bare he ran to the door I said Frankenstein what's
gotten into you he said my dick is hard and I need to screw he did
the monster fuck it was a graveyard fuck that monster sucked and fucked he did
the monster fuck part six six six from my laboratory I heard quite the racket
deep in the castle the vampires jacked it the racket. Deep in the castle, the vampires jacked it.
The zombies all fucked in the graveyard grass.
Wolf man wolfed down Frankenstein's ass.
They did the monster fuck.
It was a graveyard fuck.
Those monsters sucked and they fucked. They did the fuck.
They did the monster fuck.
The beasts all fucked as the orgy spread.
Bigfoot gave the headless horseman head.
Swamp Thing jerked off in the castle moat.
While Frankenstein gagged from the jizz in his throat.
The fucking was wet, there was spooge like mad.
Igor decided to fuck his own dad.
The mummy let out a horny moan
when Medusa's bare tits turned his dick to stone.
They did the fuck.
They did the monster fuck.
The monster fuck.
It was a graveyard fuck.
They did the fuck.
Those monsters sucked and they fucked. They did the fuck. They did the fuck. Those monsters sucked and they fucked.
They did the fuck.
They did the monster fuck.
And Frankenstein's bride was horny as hell.
The hunchback went bareback and rang her bell.
She got titty fucked by a giant spider.
Jizz made the streaks in her hair much whiter.
She fucked every monster cum one cum all.
Her three holes were filled like a bowling ball.
And while skeletons boned his undead bride, Frankenstein just jacked off and cried.
It's now the monster fuck.
And it's a graveyard fuck the monster fuck
Those monsters suck and they fuck now you should fuck
Now you can monster fuck part six six sex
Depraved they're all depraved
Okay, and that's the new song ah
I
That was the exact same thing Leo and you have to admit it you have to admit
that that the only deviation from all the other times you've done it is
occasionally not even every time you said six six sex yeah the first and the
final chorus it's a look it's a new song. It's a new comp.
I started this from scratch and I can,
I have my things that work for me.
I have my hook and I just, you know, like I said,
I leaned into the raunch.
I leaned into what I know.
Even you have to admit that this is the exact same thing.
Why would you do this to me?
It's, look, it's a similar song.
It's got a similar structure.
99.9% of it is similar.
I will say this.
Look at Russia's discography.
A lot of their albums are treading the same ground.
Sure, but they're not singing about Tom Sawyer
and Huckleberry Finn every goddamn song.
I mean, maybe that was their mistake.
It might have been.
Because that song was gangbusters.
Look, I'm sorry, Leo, but I'm afraid that your granddaughter is going to be cast into
hell now.
And you know that that's true, right?
You knew that coming in.
Well, to be honest with you, Scareline was looking to get out of heaven.
Really?
Why?
It's kind of a lame scene.
You know, all your do-gooders are up there. People who saw that
PSA about not downloading a car and they're like, Oh, I won't, I won't pirate a movie ever.
It's all those kinds of folks.
You got Jimmy on guitar and John Bonham on drums and, and David Bowie on Vox.
It's not like that.
Really?
No, you got Jimmy Carter on guitar.
He's not even dead yet. Jimmy Carter's not dead.
As of press time. So he's making trips up there?
He'll pop up there, yeah. In his spare time.
He's not very good. Well, look, Leo, you've done it to me again,
and I don't appreciate it. I don't want you to ever return. Is that okay?
Yeah, I'm okay if this is my final appearance.
Happy 666 episode.
Okay, Leo.
It's a man, what a milestone in podcasting.
Congratulations.
It certainly is.
To 666 more.
Well guys, we're running out of time.
We just have time for one final feature on the show
and that is a little something called Plugs.
It's that time of show.
There are plugs in old. Tell me what you got coming up today, next week, or any other day of the sky.
Mmm, beautiful.
That was Harmonious Plugs theme by Lost and Found, our old friend Lost and Found,
who I believe has a SoundCloud himself, speaking of SoundCloud. All right, guys, what do we plug in?
Yasser, obviously Black Monday, people can watch that. Yeah, Black Monday on Showtime streaming,
Duncanville on Hulu. Are you on that? Yeah, I play a character named Yang Z. I'm a little cartoon,
a little cartoon version of me. Again, there is no acting involved. I am not good at that.
So it is my voice over a cartoon who looks almost exactly like me.
Again, there's no talent in-
Where can people see any of your stand-up?
Do you have any specials out there or?
I have one on...
I don't have any specials.
There's one on ComedyCents there is one on
Comedy Central dot com.
There's like a set and then
the rest of them were locked away
in the Epstein raid.
He had a few copies of the DVDs
that I was selling.
Those are gone now, but
and those are my good sets.
Those are the those are the
best ones.
And you're always a great Twitter
follow so people can check out what you're doing out there.
All right. Beam dip.
Well, what do you want to plug?
Well, I just like to invite everybody to come to the W for lunch inside the W.
We will not be having outdoor seating.
You could come inside the W.

The Rochester Jumpstones or HBO Go, HBO Max,
whatever you like.

Nah, nah, nah, nah.
One time. Fungies, Scott, Fungies,

wanted me to plug Corporate on Comedy Central, a show she
worked on.
The third and final season premieres Wednesday, July 22nd
at 1030 PM.
So check out Corporate on Comedy Central.
All right,'s that is on

probably just have a few more days to check out Comedy Bang Bang on Netflix. I think they're taking
it off again for whatever reason. Maybe it'll be back on the day after like last time who knows.
I have no idea what's going on. They don't tell me.
All right, let's close up the old plug bag.
You start with a C when you want to close it up.
You lead with an L and then you open up the plug bag.

We're gonna make this work.
Remember, if you're not failing,
if you're not falling on your face.
