Starting point is 00:00:00 Every bone in my leg is named Greg. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Hmm, thank you to Titanic Rusticles for that catchphrase submission. I don't think it's going to stick though, but thank you Titanic Rusticles. We're going to keep on searching for a new one. But welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. My name is Scott Ackerman. This is a great show today.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Of course, we are closing out Bride Month. Now, a lot of people in June celebrate Pride Month. We celebrate Bride Month because every A-Block guest this month was supposed to be women. And then one dropped out and so we had a man last week. Anyway, it's still Bride, as far as I'm concerned. And we're closing out strong, but before we get to her, let me tell you who's coming up a little later.
Starting point is 00:01:12 We have a very special PSA. We have a mother coming in to give us a very special PSA. And that's the rest of the show. I said it was a great show. I don't know. So far, so good. Yeah. I mean, you're a great guest. I mean, look at me already. Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate, we have a movie and TV star.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Oh, who is it going to be? It's you, madam. Oh my goodness, the bride of the day. That's right. We are closing out bride month with a very special guest. She's making her first appearance on the podcast, if you can believe it. But of course, most listeners know her as Meryl Hhm from the Comedy Bang Bang TV show.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Everybody's talking about it. That's right. From the Weird Al Yankovic Wears a Hawaiian Shirt episode. That's right. I think I had a bag of potato chips shaped like people. That's right. Yes. Very fun. That was such a fun time. Everybody's talking about I think I had a bag of potato chips shaped like people. That's right. Yes. Very fun. That was such a fun time. Everybody's talking about it. Have you worked since then? No. So I've actually been in your driveway the whole time waiting to be brought in.
Starting point is 00:02:15 No, of course we know her as for now. How long has it been on Reno 911? Is it two decades yet? We did the pilot in 2000. 2000, 25 years of the 25th anniversary? Kind of, we didn't air till 2003. Okay, well you could celebrate that in 2028. That'll be another podcast. Yes, oh, just a podcast. I'll just wait here. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:02:39 You know her as Officer Trudy Weigel in that. She's been all over your television and film screens and now she has a new television show on Netflix called The Four Seasons. I do. You do. And we're gonna talk about it right here on the show. I really did it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Kerry Kenny Silver is here. Hi Kerry. Hi. Thank you for having me. It's so wonderful to have you on the show. You're one of the bucket list guests. Oh my gosh. You've turned it down every week.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I send you a request every week. Sometimes twice a week. Yeah, that's true. And sometimes you just show up. That's true, with my recording equipment in tow. No, thank you. Yeah, but finally you have something that you wanna get the word out about.
Starting point is 00:03:23 That's it. That's what it is. I'm making a worldwide plea for people to please watch The Four Seasons. Although I will say the amount of people that have already watched is absolutely shocking to me. It's astronomical. It's always number one or number two on Netflix. In the world. In the world worldwide. What is that? I don't know. It's crazy to be part of something so popular. It is. I don't know what it's like.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Especially for me. Well, I didn't either until a month ago. You've been stuck doing this Reno 911 show for 25 years. I've been very happily swimming in the lane of alt comedy since 1992. Now alt stands, it's short for salt, is that right? That's correct. Salt comedy. That's correct. Now we're getting all peppery. And the four seasons, first let's say what it is.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It is, how macro should I get? It's, do I need to explain television? Yeah, I think so. We have time, right? Yeah, tubes, do TV still have time, right? Yeah, tubes. Do TVs still have tubes? You're doing great. You're doing great. Tubes, cathodes, visual images.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Don't forget the buttons. Oh no, now I'm just doing Nicole Kidman. Visual images on a screen. But yes, the buttons rewind, pause. TiVo came around in around to 1999, 2000. It allowed us to pause our television screens. Well, if you're fancy like you, I still have the remote that's attached by a string to the TV.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Is this like a wax string, like one of those telephone? It's like a twizzler. Oh, okay. I think you could just bite that off. Yeah. I'm starting to think it's not a real okay. Yeah. I think you could just bite that off. Yeah. A lot like Sam Belkowkorn. I'm starting to think it's not a real television.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, what do you watch on it? Nothing. There's nothing on there. Yeah, I don't think this is real, Carrie. I don't think so either. Yeah. I'm such a sucker. You gotta watch The Four Seasons on a real television.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Let's talk about it. It is a television show. It's on Netflix. Currently, there's only one season, and when we talk about a season, I know it's confusing because the show is called The Four Seasons. So you're like, expecting to go on Netflix, like, okay, let's watch Four Seasons of this television show. Have you found that people are confused? I think the first thing people were confused about was because of White Lotus. When they saw
Starting point is 00:05:40 the trailer for this, they thought, oh, this is about the Four Seasons, The Hotel Channel. The Hotel, yeah. It is not. It's not. It is based on a movie written and directed by Alan Alda in 1981. Now, Alan Alda, we all know him and love him as that wonderful television doctor.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I'm talking, of course, about Dr. Gabriel Lawrence on ER. This is the guy. You have nailed it. Don't do any more research. In season five. Yes. But he do any more research in season five. Yes. But he also did a bunch of other things, but he made he wrote and directed this movie back in the 80s. And you think it's about the four seasons.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And then the very first scene of the television show is everyone arriving at a place near like, oh, boy, here comes the four seasons. I'm going to get to see this gorgeous hotel. No you're not. And then it's a house. It's a house. And there's only one season of the show. There's only, they're so confusing.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I don't get it, Keri. I don't either. Just forget it, bye. Tch, kuk, kuk, kuk, kuk, kuk. Oh my. Stukum. My tiny little heels, my tiny little Barbie shoes on your floor, on your marble floor.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Would you be in the sequel to Barbie if they asked you? Obviously. Who wouldn't? The hard hitting questions. So this is a television show that was created by Lang Fisher and Tracy Wigfield and Tina Fay. Yep. Is that short for Christina?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Fay? Fay? Yeah, it is. Is that short for Christina... Fey? Fey. Yeah, it is. Is it really? I don't know. I don't know, let's look her up. So far, your Google machine has not been doing
Starting point is 00:07:14 a great job with research. Tina Fey. Elizabeth is her name, right? It is Elizabeth. And Tina's in quotes, which leads me to believe she's a liar. That's just her stripper name Oh, okay. Yeah, and she took it as a professional. Yeah, but this is a Feels reductive to call it a sitcom aka situational comedy, you know, it has a similar Vibe to the 1981 film which at the time, I just keep, people use a lot of words to describe it.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Like, is it this, is it that? It just feels like real life to me. There are some really dark, dramatic moments. There is lots of levity. There are, it's just, this is what drew me to it as an 11 year old watching it. You watched it when you were 11 years old? A million times, and I can't tell you how many people
Starting point is 00:08:06 of our generation have said that too. And I think back in the day, we didn't really separate children's programming with, you know, we had Zoom, we had Sesame Street and those things. When we say Zoom, this is a television program, by the way. Not, we didn't have Zoom. Correct. We didn't have Skype.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yeah. Like all the kids use these days. They're always on Zooms. They're always like, oh, daddy, let me join the way. We didn't have Zoom, we didn't have Skype like all the kids use these days. They're always on Zooms. They're always like, oh, daddy, let me join the Zoom. Let me share my screen. Sony Walkmans like you do now. No, we had to Walkman to school. That's all right. I'll let that one go. It's fine. It's early. It's not that early. I really should have worked all these out before. No, but it was like, it was a, it had a, first of all, I think it was a summer when it was on a lot back
Starting point is 00:08:50 when cable would just play the same thing over. So you had cable when you were 11 years old? No, but my grandmother did. Oh. Yes. Wow. So. Hip grandma.
Starting point is 00:08:59 In the summer, you would just be like, whatever was on. Is it on Golden pond? Is it that? But I also at the same time. All these older people shows. Yeah, exactly. And Tina said the same thing. She's like, why was 11 year old me
Starting point is 00:09:10 so drawn to this story about divorce and all these things? I mean, I think it's because my parents had recently been divorced. It felt real to me. There's Carol Burnett, I love her. There's Al and Rita Moreno, all these people that you know from other things. And that was the energy that Tina wanted to bring to this.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Wait a second, there's Will Forte, I know him from SNL, but then there's Coleman Domingo, he has a, I know him from this Oscar-winning. He's Oscar nominated, yes. For this drama, and Kerry Kenny Silver, who she just came in off the street. But you know, bringing all these people from different walks. Steve Carell, we know him from
Starting point is 00:09:47 the morning show. Steve, hello. Hello. I mean, so it feels to me- Toby Huss. Like, I know. We know him- Now listen, Toby, I didn't know was gonna play my spoiler alert. How long have you known Toby? Cause I've known him for now 20- Since the beginning. 30 years.
Starting point is 00:10:04 When I say the beginning, I mean like, you know, since the beginning of my career. There was nothing before that. But Toby started doing Reno with us, like almost in the beginning. And I did not know, nor did I have anything to do with the fact that he was cast. So the casting couch was not a part of the process
Starting point is 00:10:23 in making this show. It was more like a sette. So a fainting couch. Oh I love that. I love a fainting couch. Oh I love it. I faint upwards of 20, 30 times a day and I'm always like where's the couch? I know you might need to be seen for that. Yeah I don't think I have an iron deficiency. Is that something that I need to look into? No. I don't think a couch is gonna- I have an iron deficiency. Is that something that I need to look into? No.
Starting point is 00:10:44 No. Not these days. It's overrated. So you have Steve Carell, Will Forte, Tina Fey, Coleman Domingo, Marco Calvani, and yourself are the main six couples of this show. And it's called The Four Seasons because it actually, weirdly enough,
Starting point is 00:11:03 takes place in all four seasons of the calendar year, the Roman Quanko calendar. Can you believe it? Spoiler alert. Now no one's going to watch it. Sorry. Yeah, I spoiled everything. It's a cozy comedy that has like... A CC. I think it's a CC, and you can, and you can also close caption it. Sure, of course, you can if you want.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Sure. And it just feels like this friend group and these, you know, of a certain generation, of our generation, which you don't get to see a lot on television. No, that's right. I, you know, every time I turn on the TV, everyone is like under five years old. Yeah, wait, hold on, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Which shows are you watching? Let's see, I'm usually watching like Kidzpop and- Yeah, that might be part of the problem. There are other channels. There are? Yeah, where you can watch like 15 to 22 year olds. Oh, okay, exclusively. Yeah, I'll send you a link.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Okay, thank you. But yeah, this is for, not for, but it's about and regarding people in their 50s or so. Yeah, and you don't see that a lot. You don't see those full stories being told all that often. I was saying that 15 years ago, as a woman in this business, as a 55 year old woman,
Starting point is 00:12:18 the best I could have hoped for at this stage in my career was The Wacky Neighbor or... Which you have played. Which I continue to play. It's my bread and butter. I'm fine with it. I believe you were in the Netflix show Love created by Paul Rust is The Wacky Neighbor. Love it.
Starting point is 00:12:35 But a woman of this age, it used to be that the only opportunities really were the mother-in-law who comes in and wags her finger every five episodes and she leaves and everyone rolls their eyes and goes, that's my mom. And so to have a meaty story for this generation, I think is a really beautiful thing, but also other generation, I've been so surprised at how many young people have come up to me and said, I just watched it for the second time or, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:04 it's so it's not- Because young people are going through, I'm sure it for the second time or, you know, it's so it's not because young people are going through, I'm sure some of the same things that are happening to these characters. There are not to spoil any of the twists and turns. It's almost like an M. Night Shyamalan thing here. But almost if, you know, his movies primarily were about divorcing. Sure. Sure. Hey, let's go see Trap about that divorce. About the divorce. That's kind of funny also.
Starting point is 00:13:28 But it's about three couples and their travails and pitfalls and hardships in their each individual marriages and what they go through. You have, some are saying the media stroll of the six. There are tears shed. How'd you do the tears scenes? Did you put squirt stuff in your eyes? I just shed them. I just shed them.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You shed them. I've been saving them up for this role. Really? That's the way to do it. I mean, no one saw me in this way. Sherri Thomas, the casting director, for her to pull me into that audition room, I was excited just to get the audition.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Oh, someone thinks that I can do this. And so I keep waiting for the finger on the shoulder, like, you know. You know, it's season two. You know what? That was cute, but you've been replaced. Like they would replace, like in I Dream of Jeannie. Well, that happens, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:25 The character of Anne will now be played by? Exactly. I mean, I was watching an episode of ER the other day, and Jingmei's father, who for seasons and seasons was played by one actor, just suddenly like they take him into the ER in season 11, and he's like, you know, some different guy? Come on, man. Hollywood is cruel. like, you know, some different guy? Come on, man. Hollywood is cruel. But yeah, no, it's incredible to see you in this capacity
Starting point is 00:14:50 and in this way. How many auditions did you give? Two. So I was so excited to just be in a room in person, first of all, because I don't know if people know, but really since COVID. Self tape. Self tape, everything. And I don't know how to do lighting.
Starting point is 00:15:08 That's why I do comedy. If I had skills, I wouldn't be doing comedy. So yeah, came in person to Sherri Thomas's office and read and really didn't put too much on it because I thought, well, I'm not gonna get this, but I'm just so excited. That's the best way to go into an audition where you're like, I'm not gonna get this, but I'm just so excited. She wants to see. That's the best way to go into an audition where you're like, Turns out.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'm not gonna get this, so let me just do whatever I want. Turns out that was really, that was the best way. And then there was a call back on Zoom from my home with Tina Tracy and Lang and Sherri Thomas. So that was it, two auditions. Wow, and so you read with Tina. I read with Tina and I had never met her before. I had never met any of these people before.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I met Tina on that Zoom. The first time I met everybody in person was when we sat down to do our first scene together. Really, no table reads, nothing, just like first scene. Zoom table reads. Zoom table reads. And then you get in a room, do you remember what your first scene was on day one? Oh yeah, my first scene. Zoom table reads. Zoom table reads. Yeah. And then you get in a room, do you remember what your first scene was on day one?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Oh yeah, my first scene was the scene when we go to the pharmacy, myself and Marco and Tina. And I was, it was out of my body. This is a funny scene, by the way. It's a funny scene and I was like, I don't know what I'm doing with my hands, how do people move, what is- What'd you end up doing with them? Like hold them straight up in the air? I don't even wanna watch, I don't know what I'm doing with my hands, how do people move, what is that? What'd you end up doing with them?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like hold them straight up in the air? I don't even wanna watch, I don't know. Hopefully they just cropped them out. But no, it was terrifying. And then the next scene was a scene with everybody, the whole cast sitting around a table. Those take forever to shoot, table scenes. They didn't though.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Nothing took forever to shoot. The whole process was so wonderful and comfortable and realistic days. It wasn't 18-hour days. It just felt like, can this be real? Are we actually making something here? Because this feels too, easy is not the word. It felt comfortable and safe and fun. Also it's a big budget production, which on Reno, you don't.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Never experienced that before, ever. I mean, I kept walking up to craft service going, I can have any of this? I was just here and had a pickle. Are you sure I can come back for olives? And you, again, not to give away the plot, but things happen and people are like, huh, I don't know if the original six are gonna continue to give away the plot, but things happen and people are like, huh, I don't know if the original six
Starting point is 00:17:27 are gonna continue to be in the show, but you're in the entire thing. And it's already been picked up for a second season, which is exciting. And a lot of people are saying, not only do you have Emmy buzz for this show, but you have Oscar buzz. And I'm like, how does this happen?
Starting point is 00:17:44 It wasn't even a movie. I heard Nobel Peace Prize. I heard that too. It's insane the things that are happening with this. People talk, but people talk. People talk all the time. I've noticed that they tend to talk once a day usually. Yeah, and it doesn't mean it's definitely gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:17:59 But I think it will. Just that it likely will. I mean, that's the thing about Oscars is like you watch the Oscars and every year someone wins for something that you've never seen before. Yeah, it's like you're watching, you know when you watch like a horse race and a dog or a squirrel jumps over into the-
Starting point is 00:18:14 Into the finish line. Into the finish line, into the track and everyone cheers for them. Yeah. We're that squirrel. Exactly, but for the Oscars, instead of just giving it to some random thing that no one's seen, just go give it to a TV show that everyone likes.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That everyone thinks is lovely. Yeah, exactly. We might win Formula One. So when do you go back to film the second season? Same schedule as last time. So we'll go back. It'll probably be Hudson Valley again in September. In September.
Starting point is 00:18:49 So the countdown begins. Yeah, we did, last time we did three and a half months in Hudson Valley and then we went to Puerto Rico to film the summer episodes. Right, oh wow, how long was that? That was around Christmas time for two weeks. For two weeks. It was dreamy. You're almost like a four month shoot, which is great.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Perfect. In ahmm, perfect. In a big budget thing, do you get paid by the day or by the season? By the second. Probably by the season. We get paid a bucket. By the second! They hand you a bucket of money. Every second. Every second.
Starting point is 00:19:13 You guys, you gotta get on this. I've been telling people this for years, you gotta get on a big, huge hit TV show. Why not? You know, I had a friend, I had a friend growing up whose mother didn't quite understand how it all worked.
Starting point is 00:19:27 And she would say to me, you have got to get a Coke commercial. And I was like, yeah, that would be great. And I actually ended up doing a barks root beer commercial with Nick Swartzen. And I remember calling her and saying, I did it. I'm going to bark. She's like, no. Not coke. Not coke. Like, who do I call?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Well, the Four Seasons is out now. I tore through these. I wish I could say I did it all in one sitting, but I went to bed after the sixth one. That's all right. And I woke up and I watched the other two in the morning. But it is fairly bite-sized. It's not gonna be a month of your life.
Starting point is 00:20:07 No. The entire season is four hours long. It's not like watching ER. My God, I'm worried about you. Trying to get through 15 seasons of it before you watch The Pit. I feel like ER has a real hold on you. Now, it's out now, Four Seasons is out now. Of course, we have to mention the state, the sketch show from the nineties that you were
Starting point is 00:20:34 a cast member of that was Rolling Stone famously said was the number two nineties sketch show behind Mr. Show, which I was on and Tom Lennon will never let me forget it. Interesting that you bring that up and say that that's famous, because that's the first time I've heard it. Really? No, I don't. Tom Lennon talks about it constantly. Of course he does.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Number two, that hurts. That hurts him. Yes. Thirty years later, he is really upset about it. You don't want to be number one, though. You want to be the underdog. I wanted to be number one, and we ended up being number one. Okay, well, everybody's's happy except for Tom.
Starting point is 00:21:05 But that's, that's fine. That's standard. It's fine. We'll get over it. Did something just happen with a bunch of, was there like a sort of mini reunion? It was a mega reunion actually. Mega. I don't know if you heard, but it was pretty mega. No, we did this documentary director, Matthew Pernicciaro,
Starting point is 00:21:26 just directed a documentary about the state called Long Live the State. And it just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. And you watched it? And we watched it. We had an incredible screening and everybody was there except for Ben was starting to shoot something that he had created.
Starting point is 00:21:43 And Michael, I hear everyone was very- No, Michael was the show author was there? No, no, no, Black. Oh, I'm sorry, excuse me, Black was- Everyone was very happy that he wasn't there while he was reading. Black wasn't there either because he had a show in Upstate New York.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Was he doing the Ninja Turtle show again? But he came the day before and we did like our big family dinner and stuff. Oh, fun. That Ninja Turtle story has made a resurgence and it makes me so happy. Of course, he was on our, my other show, We've Got to Stop Talking, TMNT on CBB,
Starting point is 00:22:12 talking all about it. It's a fascinating episode for people. It's over on CBB World and you can hear all about him and Ben, right? They both were- Yes, I highly recommend it. posed as Ninja Turtles, yes. I mean, it's a fascinating story. Yeah, and then he also drove several members
Starting point is 00:22:26 off a cliff, right? Correct, I got a phone call that they were all in the hospital because he had flipped, he fell asleep, they were on a tour. I was on tour with my band that summer. They went on a state tour. Cake-like. Yes, but they were on a state tour
Starting point is 00:22:39 and he fell asleep at the wheel and flipped the van in a field. Yeah, that was almost a Big Bopper style. Yeah. Like, can you think of how the world would be different? Cause who was it? It was black and who else was in the van? Ken Marino, Joe Lattruglio, David Wayne.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Brooklyn Nine-Nine wouldn't exist. No, Reno wouldn't exist. Wet Hot American Summer wouldn't exist. Children's Hospital wouldn't exist. Right, Penicillin wouldn't exist. Yeah. I don't know how, but that it't exist. Right, Penicillin wouldn't exist. Yeah. I don't know how, but that it definitely tracks. Yeah, the buttercream effect.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah. And so is that all in the documentary, I would imagine? No, it's not actually. Believe it or not. Something that huge occurs. It doesn't even make the doc. Well, that just shows you, I mean, we've been together since,
Starting point is 00:23:23 I mean, I met Tom when I was in 1988. Yeah. Excuse me, I met Tom in 1986. I met the rest of the state in 1988. Before college? Yeah, at summer camp at Northwestern, summer theater camp. I didn't know that. We were 16, but then, or 17, that was 1987.
Starting point is 00:23:41 1988, the state we all met and started working together as the new group, which became the state. So yeah, for 37 years, a lot has happened. A lot has happened. You don't see anyone doing a Mr. Show documentary, even though we were number one. Yeah, there's not enough of you. I mean, it would be like a short. Yeah, it's Bob and David,
Starting point is 00:23:58 and then they would play every part in the documentary. They play every part. And occasionally throw us a bonus. The show was great, they're number one, the end. I mean, that's not a real- Not a lot of drama. We saw it already. Well, I can't wait to see this. When's it come out?
Starting point is 00:24:12 That's a great question. They have to sell it first. Thank you so much. They have to sell it first. So now- I'd like to buy it. Oh, wow. How much? Four, I don't know. Four?
Starting point is 00:24:21 And I don't even know what I mean by that. I'm willing to give it to three. This is not my movie, but I'll take it. Okay, we have a deal. Shake on it. And wait, do my little clippy clippy shoes going out the door. Good day.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Oh, I'm driving an elephant. Well, this is exciting. We of course have the Four Seasons, which is out now in Emmy voters. You know, start tipping and tapping away and pressing that little button next to Carrie's name because I wanna see the nom. I wanna see the win.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I wanna see you get up there on stage and hold it aloft with those hands you don't know what to do with. Wow. And Oscar voters. Oscar voters. And Nobel Peace Prize. I don't wanna get too greedy. The Peabody though, that's certainly within reach. Obviously. Anyone can. And Nobel Peace Prize. I don't want to get too greedy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 The Peabody though, that's certainly within reach. Obviously. Anyone can win a Peabody. I feel like we've got that one in the bag. Exactly. That is out now, four seasons. We have to take a break. But when we come back, we're going to have more with Carrie.
Starting point is 00:25:18 We also have a mom who's going to be giving a PSA. This is a very exciting show. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and did you, Ed, you met Steve before this? I had never met Steve. What, he lives up to all of the hype. Does he, yes, I worked with him once, he was great. All of the hype. Very fun. And...
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah, John, John, hold on one second. Hold on one second, John. Let me just talk to Scott about this. Sorry, Kerry. Hey, Scott, sorry to interrupt. Hi, Kerry. Hi. Sorry, Kerry.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Michael Lindsayhawg, we spoke on the phone, I did your pre with you. Oh, yeah, hi. Hi Michael, what's going on? I'm in the middle of the show. Well, I apologize Scott, but this is... Is this one of those, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission kind of things?
Starting point is 00:26:18 Cause I would rather you just ask permission. Well, I asked for permission and then you say no, so this works better for me. I don't forgive you. Okay, well. If you asked for permission and then you say no, so this works better for me. I don't forgive you. Okay, well. If you ask for permission first and I say no and then you ask for forgiveness, I'm not gonna forgive you.
Starting point is 00:26:30 What do I have to do? I'm down on bended knee for forgiveness for the record. You're standing straight up right now. Emotionally I'm down on bended knee, hat in hand. Your hat is, you're wearing two hats by the way and they're still on your head. I am showing you my belly here.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I am asking for forgiveness. He actually is showing his belly. I am showing you my belly here. I am asking forgiveness. He actually is showing his belly. I really wish you wouldn't do that. Disturbing. Sorry, everyone who's listening and was expecting a more in-depth conversation about when this came out in Steve Carell. This is Michael Lindsay-Hogg.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Hi. Hi. You're part of the booking process now of the show. Yeah, so I emailed you because I thought you could do a better pre-interview. You were on the show before. And I was on the show once before. And obviously.
Starting point is 00:27:11 For those of you who don't know who Michael Lindsay Hogg is, he directed. Get Back. I directed some movie with Peter Sellers and. Some movie with Peter Sellers. And Ringo Starr that's referenced a lot in Get Back. I forget what it's called at this exact moment. You're the guy, if you watched the Get Back Peter Jackson
Starting point is 00:27:27 documentary, who keeps begging them to go to Egypt. Giving them amazing ideas. I wanted them to go to Egypt and do a concert in front of 5,000 Arabs. I also gave them notes on a lot of their songs and they ignored most of them. But Scott, it'll be just a moment. I have Jon Hamm on the line.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I'm doing his pre-interview for a future episode. Yeah, great. He wants to talk about, you know, you get these stories on here. It'll be just a moment. I have Jon Hamm on the line. I'm doing his pre-interview for a future episode. Yeah, great, yeah. He wants to talk about, you know, you get these stories on here. He wants to talk about eating too much applesauce on the set of your friends and neighbors and getting a side eye from Amanda Peet.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It's not for me. We're trying to judge up the show here. I mean, but this sounds like a great story. Yeah, getting a side eye from Amanda Peet. Wait, wait, how much applesauce? Well, I can, Jon, how much applesauce? Well, John, how much applesauce? A whole cup. Wow, that's not a lot of applesauce.
Starting point is 00:28:08 That doesn't sound like too much applesauce. Well, it doesn't sound like too much. I'm saying you wanna go viral, Scott. So I'm telling John, he doesn't wanna do it. I was talking about this a couple of weeks ago. I miss the days back when we would make news stories with what someone said. Nowadays Tatiana Maslany comes on here
Starting point is 00:28:26 and she makes news about the fact that she was cut out of, what's that guy's name? He's irreverent, he wears a mask. Jim Carrey. That's one of them, Deadpool is one. I'm thinking of. Okay, all right, two similar guys. Two similar guys.
Starting point is 00:28:44 That's a great story. Jim Carrey and Deadpool, very similar guys. No, but that. Two similar guys. Two similar guys. That's a great story. Jim Carrey and Deadpool, very similar guys. No, but now that's a new story. Cut out of the mask, Tatiana Mazzani, at the youngest of ages, I'm sure. Yeah, so we'll get picked up up by comic book sites occasionally, but I miss the days when we were on the Today Show,
Starting point is 00:28:57 when, who's that guy who used to do the Today Show? I love that you keep looking at me. Have I answered one of your Who's That Guy questions correctly? Who's that guy? Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey, yeah, on the Today Show.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I miss those days. This is how we get those back. You know what goes viral? Conan O'Brien trying to eat a lot of wings and power through it. So I'm telling Jon Hamm, look, you know Matthew Weiner. Let's have you talk to Scott in a hot tub of 1,000 Weiner. I feel like it's wine.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Well, it doesn't work for this then. But we have to pronounce it Weiner for this. And it's you, it's Jon Hamm, a hot tub of a thousand Wieners in front of a thousand winners. It's a viral. I think those are whiners. Well, okay, we could do whiners. Let's do whiners across the board. Okay, a thousand whiners. A thousand whiners. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:29:43 A Matthew Wiener, and then we eat. Well, no, he sits in a hot tub of a thousand whiners across the board. Okay, a thousand whiners. A thousand whiners. Okay, great. A few whiners, and then we eat. Well no, he sits in a hot tub of a thousand wieners. I guess I don't know what a whiner would be. Let's do a whiner, whiner, whiner, and wiener. Winer, whiner, and wiener. Oh, if you could get some Shriners in there. Yes, whiner, whiner, and Shriner. Okay, great, I'm gonna, ham hung up.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Ham hung up. Ham hung up. Ham hung up. I'm gonna pitch that to him, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I, Ham hung up. Ham hung up. Ham hung up. Ham hung up. But I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pitch that to him. I love it and I think it plays. I think we're gonna get you to go viral. We gotta get John back on the show. I would love to. He's already booked, all right?
Starting point is 00:30:14 It's just the pre-interviews of struggle. Since I'm here, do you mind? I just had a few more conversations. Kerry, I'm sorry about this. Please. I mean, you had to go through this process. No, I feel like this has to happen now. Yeah, I agree. I mean, but you had to go through this process. No, I feel like this has to happen now. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I mean, Kerry, Kerry roundly struck down my idea of doing an interview carrying 500 cans of silver with Kerry Kenny Silver. We had a seven hour pre-interview call. That feels like it's not enough. Too short, too short, I agree. We just didn't get to know each other. When you say cans of silver,
Starting point is 00:30:46 what are you talking about? Well, imagine silver, you know, a nickel. Sure. Or I guess that's nickel. Is nickel a silver? That was a detail yet to be worked out if I had agreed. But imagine the internet. Why isn't every coin named after the metal that it's made out of?
Starting point is 00:31:01 Right, because penny is copper. Yeah, call them coppers. Well then you would think you were paying with police. Yeah, that's a good point. I Right, because Penny is copper. Yeah. So it should be a coppers. Yeah. Well, then you would think you were paying with police. Yeah, that's a good point. I found a copper in my couch. Yeah. Anyway, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, great to see you. No, no, no, that's got to have a, there's just a few others
Starting point is 00:31:16 that I want to talk through. I do think, we're trying to go viral, right? Because this plays, daddy. This plays. OK, I don't love you calling me daddy, but I'll uh. Oh no, it's I'm from a different era. Who am I, Alex Cooper? Come on, get out of here. I call you daddy. Uh, okay. Well Scott, we got Ziwei coming back, right? Yeah, great. Now Ziwei wants to tell a story about the time she made Mario Lopez apologize for promoting toxic masculinity as AC Slater.
Starting point is 00:31:45 It's been done. So I'm thinking. Has he ever apologized for this? Every interview Mario Lopez is apologizing for the toxic masculinity. Why should he have to apologize? I feel like the creators and writers of Say By The Bell would be the ones to apologize.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Don't you agree, Lynn? You're an actor, what do you think? He's in the news a lot lately. Is he, what's he going on? Well, he just got, am I thinking of the right person? He just got served. Hmm. On the tennis court or?
Starting point is 00:32:09 No, no, from a, a process. A process server? A process server. Let me look this up. What's his name again? The new story is that Mario Lopez got served by a process server. Oh no, no, he wasn't Mario Lopez.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I'm thinking of, listen. Let me just look up process server. I'm gonna Google process server. It couldn't have been Mario the Plur. Let's just look up process server. I'm gonna Google process server. It couldn't have been Mario the Plur. Let's just look up all the court cases. And then I'm gonna do news, process server news. Okay. Be wary of, be wary off calls.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Come on, they meant of. If you can't even get the spelling right in your headline, Canton Repository. Oh, they're known for it. King County's Judge 100K defamation lawsuit against Geneva blogger stalls for lack of service. Geneva blogger? Is that who you were thinking of? How about celebrity process server? I'm going to try to feel bad that I just said something about someone that might not be true. You're good. By the way, Mario Lopez
Starting point is 00:32:59 access Hollywood, you're going to have to or entertainment tonight, whatever he's on, you're going to have to rub shoulders and cozy up to these people in your Emmy campaign. You don't want to be talking about this. What about the Peabody people? What are they gonna say? Kelly Kenny Silver apologizes to Mario Lopez while playing Mario World. It plays daddy let's do it. Let's do it I'll do whatever it takes. Olivia Wilde. No this is from three years ago never nevermind. Okay, perfect. Well, listen, my news could be from three years ago. That's true. That is, that is. You have a TV attached to a Twizzler.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Very accurate, exactly. God, I wonder if it was a Mario or whether it was a Lopez or not even any of these things. I don't know, I wish I cared enough to look it up. Yeah, I don't care enough either. I don't. What if George Lopez is suing Mario Cantone and you just combine those?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah, this is a good idea. See, now I'm gonna repeat that later, thinking I heard it somewhere, it has to be true. What are your other? So we got Ziwei, right? She wants to tell that Mario Lopez story. Obviously it's got some legs. I don't think it's got legs, daddy.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I think it doesn't play. So I'm thinking we get Ziwei in a ways with Scott Ackerman in front of three bays. Michael Bay? No, no, but before all else, people's favorite partner, your bae. Oh, I see, I thought you meant maybe the Bay of Pigs. Well, how would you get in?
Starting point is 00:34:15 I guess we could, if you have the budget, I would love to fly you and Ziwei down to a Bay of Pigs. We absolutely do not. Okay, well we could- If you could work in a sponsorship for Old Bay Seasoning. Oh, what is Old Bay Seasoning? Old Bay's.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Doesn't that, you put in for your, you put it on your boil. Yeah, you would put Old Bay on any sort of seafood boil, crawfish boil, shrimp boil. You can also put it on french fries if you're having a lobster roll. Delicious. It's a blend of herbs and spices.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah. By McCormick and Company. Today is brought to you by Old Bay Seasoning. I would love that. I would love for anyone to sponsor this show. Oh, that's not a thing? Yeah, we're really having to tighten our belt here. I'll call Old Bay.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Okay. That would be incredible. That helps me a lot. I appreciate that. If you can just get me on that call, we'll do a pre-interview with Old Bay. Okay, Michael Bay, Old Bay Seasoning, and the Bay of Pigs.
Starting point is 00:35:02 We're in front of these. We're at the Bay of Pigs with Michael Bay and a bunch of Old Bay, sponsored by Old Bay Seasoning with a bunch of Pigs, we're in front of these. We're at the Bay of Pigs with Michael Bay and a bunch of old Bay, sponsored by Old Bay Seasoning with a bunch of people's partners before all else, Bays, all right? In a ways, and we take a ways. And we take a ways with Ziwei who's doing your directions essentially.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Okay, this sounds good to me. This sounds good, all right, all comes Ziwei. This sounds good to me. Is it gilding the lily to add the Green Bay Packers? I don't think so at all, I don't think so at all. What about the 2005 Green Bay Packers? I don't think so at all. I don't think so at all. What about the 2005 Green Bay Packers? So you want Favre? Who doesn't want Favre?
Starting point is 00:35:30 He was in the news recently too. Was he? Yeah, we didn't have to bring that up. Oh, whoops. If Favre, it's kind of a rule of three is with Favre now. If he's in the news again, it's like, okay, I've seen the last two, so this one's not gonna be good.
Starting point is 00:35:44 He showed his penis, he stole money from people. That's what I was thinking of. That's what you're thinking of, okay, I've seen the last two, so this one's not gonna be good. He showed his penis, he stole money from people. That's what you're thinking of, okay. I guess I should be looking these things up. You really gotta Google Brett Favre every single day just to see what pops up. Thank you for phonetically spelling it. Okay, Scott, I just finished texting the bears. Okay, the bears?
Starting point is 00:36:01 No, not the bears, not the Super Bowl Truffle Bears. Which bears are we talking about? The bear, apostrophe S, the cast? No, not the bears, not the Super Bowl Truffle Bears. Which bears are we talking about? The bear, apostrophe S, the cast member from the bear. So the bears. Oh, I see, the bears, because it sounded like you had a period after that. I apologize. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:14 I just finished texting the bears. What would happen there? Are you forgetting? Colon? Oh, the bears colon. Like what would the point be there? You just run right into it. I just finished texting the bears, Evan Moss Backerack.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Okay. He's doing the show. Great. He loves the show. Okay. He's a big fan. I mean, he's never been on the show before. He's in Fantastic Four, First Steps.
Starting point is 00:36:39 He's a fantastic guy, at least based on our conversation. We're having the first steps of getting on the show. He wants to talk about the time he had an upset tummy on the show. On which show? On the bear. OK. Oh, yeah, it sounds great. I mean, I'll just take him whatever he wants to say.
Starting point is 00:36:52 No, it's a fine story. But what about seven minutes in Ebon? So this is we interspace you inside Emmet Mossbacher act. This plays, daddy. You do an interview over Zoom or Riverside or whatever your preference is. We're in some sort of like craft. Yeah, like we're not loose.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Have you seen Innerspace? I've seen Innerspace, but I just want to make sure like we're not loose swimming around in his bio. No, no, you're not loose because that's more because he has this upset tummy I've heard about. You might be able to solve the upset tummy in the interview. Imagine that I'm talking Perez Hilton.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I'm talking CMC. It's a bad sign when you say I'm talking and have to say uh for five seconds after you. You can't even think of your first. No, I'm going straight to uh, uh, uh, is Nikki Fink still Baffo? Nikki Fink told ya, she's not with us any longer. Oh, is that true?
Starting point is 00:37:43 That is true. This reminds me of that Miss Frizzle book where she shrinks all the kids down into the school bus and then they go up into someone's nose. You should, you're a daddy. The magic school bus. The magic school bus. You don't read the magic school bus to your family?
Starting point is 00:37:56 Thank you, and it went down into the thing. To my family. They took a. Maybe one member. Gather round, family. Oldsters, youngsters alike. What are you doing with this fireplace if not gathering your family around? Great uncle Jabbajaya, cozy in.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Instead of a quirky, redheaded teacher, it's you, Scott Ackerman, solving Evan Mossbackrat's tummy problems. Should I give it a go? I'm firing off the text, I gotta type that. I guess my one question is, does the technology exist? I mean, what's the budget on it? I can't be out there funding research projects.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Okay, well, you hired me because you wanna go viral. I do wanna go viral, and you went viral on this Get Back documentary where everyone thought you were a fool. You could go viral for lots of reasons. It doesn't have to be good. I don't know that I want to be the main character on the internet. You could do it on your own for free.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yeah, I know, you know? I don't want to be milkshake ducked. Oh, the famous milkshake duck story. We loved him, didn't we, folks? And then milkshake duck got canceled. Mm-hmm. Do you have another proof in your name? Of course I do, Scott.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I have 30 or 40 people lined up for you, okay? That sounds promising. Well, it is, and I promise you this one works, okay? Gillian Jacobs. Okay, great, friend of the show. She's been on so many times. Done it millions of times. Kerry played her wacky neighbor on Love.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah, I played her wacky neighbor. I lived in her backyard, go on. Okay, well, maybe you, because it was an insufferable conversation on the phone with her. I can imagine. I could not get any information out of her that was exciting as my bitch.
Starting point is 00:39:27 She keeps it close to the chest. We ultimately got that she wants to talk about a time she got an upset tummy recording her podcast. What is going on? Is there a flu bug happening? I'm worried about us as a human race. I know, are we all dying? Is this another, what was the number on that code? It's called the pandemic? uh, uh, uh, what was it? What was the number on that?
Starting point is 00:39:45 It's called the pandemic. Oh, oh, 19. 19. Can you believe it was six years ago? It felt like yesterday. I'd almost forgotten about it. I know. Boy, the memory is a funny thing.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah. Gillian wants to talk about that. All right. I said it's Gillian Jacobs. What about we do a million make-em-ups with Gilliam Jacobs? You and Gilliam Jacobs do a million improv scenes. No suggestion, all organic improv. How do you do improv scenes? So just like a conversation?
Starting point is 00:40:12 Yeah. Well, I suppose, but they'll be playing different versions of other people, you know, at one point. Different versions of other people? I guess what the million seems to do, you got to fill time somehow. So you're going to do like just different universes. Yeah. Ask me what an improv scene is. It's different conversations of other people. I guess with a million scenes to do, you gotta fill time somehow. So you're gonna do like just different universes. Yeah, ask me what an improv scene is.
Starting point is 00:40:28 It's different conversations of other people, wouldn't you say? That's not how I would describe it necessarily right off the bat. You might get there. Okay, well, how would you define it? I've read every improv book. Which ones?
Starting point is 00:40:40 Okay, Improvise by McNapier. Okay. Theater Sports by Keith Johnston. What's the Del Close one? Del Close wrote one? He wrote a book at least. I can see it's really paying off. Del Close wrote one?
Starting point is 00:40:58 What about Will Hines, does he ever read his? Oh yeah, yeah, How to Be the Greatest Improvisor Ever or Improv Nonsense, a series of Tumblr posts in two parts and two books. Perhaps. Both of them, and all they say is different conversations with different people. You like this idea, I can tell you.
Starting point is 00:41:12 You couldn't even get it out of your mouth. Different conversations between different people. I would just like to see the Barker outside of a comedy club. Come in and see different conversations with different people. Three tickets sold. I don't know about a million scenes.
Starting point is 00:41:26 All right, that's a big nod from you on there. A million scenes. A big nod? Yeah, is that a nod? I'm full on shaking my head back and forth. I think he's nodding out. Nodding off, perhaps. Nodding off.
Starting point is 00:41:37 A million, that would be such a long evening of comedy. How do you mean? A million. How long are these scenes? I mean, a million of anything is gonna be be even if it's a million seconds. Yeah well that's that's why it goes viral. That's a long time. I see. That's what I'm saying. I mean it plays daddy. Someone may not make it. By the way a million seconds is 11 days. Yeah that's a long improv. Could you imagine? No. Could you imagine the headlines?
Starting point is 00:42:05 I don't, I think if I had to continuously perform comedy for 11 days without eating or sleep, I mean, sleeping is gonna be the big one, right? Sweetheart, we've been continuously performing comedy since 1988. Wow, where'd that big cigar come from? We're not viral yet. You look like the baby in Roger Rabbit.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Pass, I gotta pass on that one. You're like the baby in Roger Rabbit. Um, pass. I gotta pass on that one. You're passing on Gillian? Yeah. Okay, passing on Gillian, passing on a million. I'm gonna move her over to Scott Asenseen. Oh, so that, you're announcing right now essentially that that is a bump down to be honest. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Oh. Yeah. This is the main cast. This is the main cast. Gotta protect it. Okay, well, so that's ETC stage. Maybe she'll make it back to the twilight. Summer stock, this is your summer stock. Yeah, thank you, exactly.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Scott, thank you so much for letting me interrupt this interview. I really think this was a great interview. That's it? For the fans. No, I got more, I just, I don't know. You thought we were wrapping up? I don't know, you said, is that all you got?
Starting point is 00:43:03 And so I thought, you know, and I felt bad interrupting. Give me one more. Okay, well the notes have to go away. I don't know. You thought we were wrapping up? I don't know. You said, is that all you got? And so I thought, you know, and I felt bad interrupting. Okay. This is the first time any guest has felt bad interrupting. I just, I just, I'm not here to be a part of the show. I want the show to be, the show was already incredible. Thank you. I mean, I thought it was such a good interview
Starting point is 00:43:18 in the first segment. Such a good, I think we all can agree. And we were off to the races with the part two of the interview where we were again. I think just this interview might win us all a Peabody. Yeah, I think so. Man, the Peabodies are stacked this year. I think they have a lot left over from last year.
Starting point is 00:43:32 They forgot to give out. Oh, they forgot to give them out last year? God, I meant to send them a reminder text. They're practically giving them away. Wow. Well, it was Warren Beatty doing it. He just kind of slipped his mind, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Anyway, you got another one? Well, I just want to say, this interview here is incredible for the fans who love it already. Okay. We're trying to bring in the wider audience out there. The people who don't. We want to cast our nets a little bit wider.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Exactly. So that's all I'm trying to do here. Podcast our nets. We don't want to podcast, okay. That's something, hang on. That's an episode. I think that's an episode. That's true.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Podcasting nets with the New Jersey nets. So we get Jason Terry. And we don't get the gross of the ticket sales, we get the? Net! Yes! Okay, okay, do you want to announce that in the viral title that you only get the net of the ticket sales? I think people kind of understand that.
Starting point is 00:44:23 We get 100% of the net after costs. Okay, great. Well, who else do you have coming up? Cause I've got a few more calls. Well, Pride Month is at its conclusion, unfortunately. Congratulations. Or who are your other bucket list gets? Oh man, who would I love on this show?
Starting point is 00:44:38 Boy, who are some of your comedy idols? I was gonna get to that. Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama. Okay. Great comedy idol of all of us. No more drama with Michelle Obama, and I did say Mochelle, which we can fix,
Starting point is 00:44:50 but if you wanna do that. I think I said Arf. I think she's gonna love that. Arf's or something. Anyway, go ahead. No more drama with Michelle Obama. So you and Michelle, and all you do is comedic improv scenes,
Starting point is 00:45:00 up to a million of them. All of the props. You're just recycling old ideas now. Well, no, this is no more drama. It's the rhyme that pops. No more drama with Michelle Obama at Benny Hanna. Yes! Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Thank you. Can you imagine, Michelle Obama, if she wants to wear the hat, that's fine, we don't force her. Flipping shrimp into her hat. Flipping shrimp into her hat, throwing eggs at men who get really scared of them and then get really puffed up
Starting point is 00:45:23 that they weren't really scared about it. This I would watch. Okay, Kerry is on board. All right, so. Okay, Kerry's attached. I think all we need is. Well, I wouldn't go that far, but. When you say on board, I guess I'm a little confused.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I'm not mad at it. Oh, okay, oh, okay. That's a new category of attachment in Hollywood. Not mad at it? Not gonna sue you. Okay, great. How about that? How about that?
Starting point is 00:45:44 We'll print that. I'm actually gonna hit all the trades with that. Kerry Kennedy Silver not gonna sue you. Okay, great. How about that? How about that? We'll print that. I'm actually gonna hit all the trades with that. Kerry Kenny Silver not gonna sue over No Mo Drama with Michelle Obama idea. Okay, yeah. I mean, that's click bait. Definitely, I mean, I guess I would click on that just to figure out what you were talking about.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Scott. It's a lot of word jazz. This is why you pay me. This is why you let me rent out an office. I'm paying you? Wait a second, he's getting paid? I had no idea. What do you think you're getting paid? We never talked about this. Oh, I just assumed, I mean, I'm paying you? Wait a second, he's getting paid? I had no idea. What do you think you're getting paid?
Starting point is 00:46:05 We never talked about this. Oh, I just assumed. I mean, I'm looking up, let me just look up the living. What did the Beatles pay you? What the Beatles pay me? Yeah. Oh, that was just, it was a mix of exposure. And I got to talk to and pitch songs to Linda whenever I wanted.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Oh, okay. Did it ever work? Any of the songs end up on any of the, the wings albums? I forget. Is there a song on any of the wings albums called let's get, let's get crazy? I actually don't know. If there is, that's me. That's you?
Starting point is 00:46:36 And it's all about- What were you writing about? It's just like losing your minds with your friends sometimes. Wow. What a great topic. Yeah. Right. It's-
Starting point is 00:46:43 How did it go? Like, let's get crazy. Come on now, let's get crazy. You and me, Paul, let's get crazy. Everybody, let's get crazy. This is a hit. This is a hit song. Okay, well, if the wings didn't take it, you can have it.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I would love to record this. What about Cake Like? This would be a great debut album for you. What about your band Cake Like? Maybe they wanna record it. I think it's too advanced for you. How about your band Cake Like? Maybe they wanna record it? Okay. It's, I think it's too advanced for us. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Just from what I'm hearing from the chorus, it sounds like there's a lot of syncopation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I could do this really well. I can redo it for you. I can redo it for you. Less syncopation. Less syncopation, and remember, I'm an alto.
Starting point is 00:47:21 That's a good catchphrase. Do you need a catchphrase? Remember, I'm an alto. I would love to catchphrase. Do you need a catchphrase? I do. I'm an alto. I would love to put up posters of you on bus stops. It just says, Carrie Kenny Silver, big picture of you. Remember, I'm an alto. And then everyone would be like, what the fuck is going on here?
Starting point is 00:47:37 I think this boosts your Emmy campaign. About every year I change my headstone line. I think that may be my new one. That is fascinating to me. I change my, anytime a new photo of me comes out that I like, I announce to everyone within earshot that this is the photo that I would like played at the Emmys in my in memoriam
Starting point is 00:47:57 when they find my foot in a river. And then every year I have a new headstone. One up until today, it was people would take me more seriously if I wore eye shadow. I can't wait to go to your headstone. I don't want to. We can go after this. Oh, really? You already have it out there. I like to just keep it up, get it ready.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Okay. So it already exists and the engravers are having to go out there and redo it every single year? Every time, it's so pricey. Oh my gosh, wow. So pricey. It's worth it though. I mean, it will be someday.
Starting point is 00:48:30 It's image, it's beautiful. It's for you, really. I wonder, just so you know, I've been taking photos of you since you said that, because I'm hoping to get the next photo. Oh, that's not creepy. Do any of these work? No, no, it's the next photo. Oh, but these are under the table.
Starting point is 00:48:43 These are up skirts, Michael. That's bizarre. I'm not even wearing a skirt and. These are up skirts, Michael. That's bizarre. I'm not even wearing a skirt and you're looking up my skirt somehow. Okay, so what, you want me to airdrop them to you or what's the idea here? Michael, come on, man. Also, all the sketches that you did of me from the corner.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yeah. Not creepy at all. This is the new sketch of me. All right. Oh, you're playing soccer in this one, at least. Yeah, oh, look at me. Have you ever played soccer before? Eating a hot dog?
Starting point is 00:49:04 I have a crazy mustache. Look, oh, look at me. Have you ever played soccer before? Eating a hot dog? I have a crazy mustache. Look, Michael, I gotta say, what was a casual conversation after your last appearance on this show about how we need a better booking process now turns into you're bothering my guests for hours at a time and I'm supposedly paying you? Oh, it's no bother, it's no bother.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I mean, I love doing it. No, no, no, you can't say that on other people's behalf. You're bothering them. No, I don't think so. The person who bothers shouldn't be able to say it's no bother. It's true, truly, truly, Scott. It is no bother, it's a nice conversation,
Starting point is 00:49:35 and that's what, don't you think that's what we're missing these days, is just a nice, real conversation with celebrities, and that's what I'm having on the phone with all your guests. I keep trying to get back to that on this show and then it turns out to be stuff like this, stuff like you interrupting me. Well, no, no, no. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, man. I'm sorry, man. If you don't mind. I do not forgive you. If you don't mind, just give me like two months to find a new place to work out of, like a WeWork or something like that.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Did you almost say to stay? Have you been staying here in the studio? Have you been staying here? Well, you know, I don't, I guess, yeah. I mean, I'm not a fan of the studio. I mean, I'm not a fan of the studio. I mean, I'm not a fan of the studio. I mean, I'm not a fan of the studio.

I mean, I'm not a fan of the studio. I mean, I'm not a fan of the almost say to stay? Have you been staying here in the studio? Have you been staying here? Well, you know, I don't, I guess, yeah, in a sense, yeah. In what sense, in physically? Like that my body and mind and all are here. Really, full circle, everything. My clothes, my dinner parties.
Starting point is 00:50:39 You're having dinner parties in the studio? Well, yeah, I mean, you're not in it when I'm doing it. No shit, of course you haven't invited me. I would love to, but then you'd be mad that I'm having dinner parties in your studio. Do you understand? Well, now I know about them. Stop it, I don't want you living here.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Okay, two months, give me two months. I'm so sorry, Kerry, I'm so sorry. I'm such a, I love you both and I think you do great work and I just want everyone to know about this interview. And that's all I'm trying to do here. All right.

Starting point is 00:51:22 Wait, how does the school year affect you? It's just, I got a lot going on with school. Alright, end of 2025, you're gone. Perfect, perfect. Alright, December 31st, when they get... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Michael Lindsay Hogg is gone! But that's kind of a rough time, because that's like New Year's resolution time, he's starting up his exercise routine for the year. Yeah, it's tough on people.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Tell you what, okay, once you start your exercise routine, how long do you need to start that up? March, March maybe? Yeah, three months sounds about right, because you don't want to go too hard too fast. It's about slow, 1% better every day. Can we say March 31st? But then you got April Fool's the next day.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Oh, true. Yeah, all those pranks you planned. Yeah, I spend most of April, or March planning my April Fool's, most of April. Most of April would be a little either late or way early. It's for next year. Yeah, you get ahead of the April Fool's because you have to be ready for the next April

Starting point is 00:54:00 I mean, I feel like everybody's seen it, but wouldn't it be a bummer if there's that one person? You gonna add any new characters, another couple in there, like maybe a, like, a guy around the same age as you, white, tall. Hold on, what are you getting at? Terrible body. Hold on a second, I know a guy like this.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Oh, wait, who is it? Hold on. Michael Ian Black. That's it. Yeah. I have 10 pasty white dudes I could choose from before we get to you, no offense. We also have Michael Lindsay Hawkins here.
Starting point is 00:54:31 It's a pleasure. What were you doing? Why did I startle you so badly? Sorry, I just thought I used to be on mic again. It's been a while. So yeah, yeah. You were a guest on the show as a guest, as a real guest, show as a guest,
Starting point is 00:54:45 as a real guest, not as an interrupter. Social anxiety and the internet and yeah, with everything going on. What have you been doing since the 60s? Did we cover this last episode? Yeah, I directed a lot of movies. I found out that Orson Welles is my father. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Um. And I've been just dealing with that. A lot of therapy, acupuncture. How much acupuncture are we talking? You say a lot. Well, three times a day, yeah. Three a day? Wow.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Yeah. Well, the first, because I have three different acupuncturists and they all disagree with each other. So they're canceling each other's pinpricks out? Yeah, they're kind of like in a war with each other through my body that I've experienced. You're so relaxed. Michael Lindsay Hogg is here.
Starting point is 00:55:28 You know, every once in a while on this show, Carrie and I, hope you don't mind, this is the last thing we're doing during bride month, but every once in a while we like to give back. Oh. At Comedy Bang Bang, we care. Are you gonna ask for a donation? I might, I don't, yeah, why not?

Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah, these are even bigger than the normal ones. And I don't write them usually for more than like $7, but the size of the check really gets you excited. Yeah, this is for $7.99. Okay, thanks so much. You're welcome. Appreciate it, Carrie. But at Comedy Bang Bang, we care,

Right? Yeah. You're not quite a movie star. Hold on, let's back up. You're a movie director, but you haven't made anything for years. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:50 And I'm a mom. Well, I wasn't saying you were part of the Voltron, necessarily, but. And then me, I have no career to speak of. If we all combine forces. Just imagine. Into Michael Carey Scott. Imagine us showing up as the big guest star grandpa
Starting point is 00:57:08 on the bear where everyone's like, can you believe they got all the big names here? Yeah, remember when Ed Asner was on ER and he was- Oh my God. He was grouchy, but he struck up a friendship with Dr. Carter and then it turned out that he was scamming him out of all this money. Anyway, Mom, hello.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Oh, thank you. No, it's so nice to be here. It really is because Scott first, I'm a mom. I'm a wife second. Okay. I'm a dog walker third. Okay. I'm a shoe enthusiast fourth.

Starting point is 00:58:09 Three to four hours a week? It doesn't sound like they need you there. Is this a favor? It's a favor. I know the owners. Okay. I mean, I would hope so. You work there.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Did you know them before you worked there? Nope. We became fast friends once I started working there. This restaurant is a weird restaurant. I'm a grandma, hopeful ninth. Okay. Do you have kids? Yeah, you're a mother. I'm a mother. I'm a mother first. How old are your kids? I'm a wife second. My kids are 19 and 43. Oh, I have so many questions. But really what I'm trying to get at here is- 24 years in between kids.
Starting point is 00:58:45 What was going on there? And you look so young. Same husband. First one was an accident. The kids have the same husband or you had them with the same husband? Kids have the same husband. How does that work? What?
Starting point is 00:58:58 So your 19 year old and your 43 year old both are in like a throuple relationship with- The same guy? This guy? They are. They are. Beautiful. That's, I mean, hey, it's a modern world. Love is love. I'm not here to judge. Here's what I'm really getting at here is that the 14th thing on the list I am is I'm a lover. Oh, lover. But this is new to me. I mean, it took you 24 years to have sex again. It did. I wouldn't necessarily characterize yourself as a lover, but I guess you could be having recreational sex. It's new. It's new to me. What's new to you, dear? I'm learning. So I'm here in Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:59:35 to talk to as many people as I can about this because I just now learned about this. Carrie, I hope I hope you know that women can also orgasm. Wait a second. Yes. Well, I mean, this is news to me. I did know this, I read about it. But I wasn't gonna fully buy into the concept until I met a real life in the flesh lady.
Starting point is 01:00:04 What is this triggered by? Is this triggered by the male orgasm first? Well, that's what I thought. Gets the woman so into it that. I was also reading these fiction books about women orgasming and I thought, never happened to me, just like, you know, aliens coming to the earth.
Starting point is 01:00:20 But. Aliens have never come to the earth. To you. To you. To me. Okay. What about, I should go around the table. Michael? Aliens have never come around the Earth to me. Okay. Carrie? Aliens have never come around the Earth to me. Yes, that's right. Okay. Yeah, you have a quorum here. We've never seen aliens.
Starting point is 01:00:40 No. But, and it sounds like none of you have ever seen a woman have the big O either. Well, I watched When Harry Met Sally. Yeah. But wasn't the whole point of that that she was faking it? Oh, I forgot that part. Oh, I thought she really liked the sandwich and that's why the woman wanted it. That's how it stuck in my mind too, isn't it weird? This is like a Berenstain Bears kind of thing. Like I thought When Harry Met Sally was all about this, these two people who go and eat
Starting point is 01:01:05 these really delicious sandwiches. Yeah. That is what it's about. Yeah, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. If I recall. I told Rob right now.
Starting point is 01:01:13 They're in like cute sweaters. Yeah, really cute. They're orgasming from yummy sandwiches and the lady's like, I'll have my train of thought. They're covered in mustard, the whole thing. You brought the cigar out again for that. Well, I use it as a punctuation.
Starting point is 01:01:26 So how has this changed your life? I mean, you had one? How does it change? It's changed my life for the better. I'll tell you that, Kerry, you really should just think about it. Just look into it. Look into it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 When you get home though, please. What, not on my way home? I guess I mean not here in the studio. Hey, Siri. But you can do it on your way home if you want. Yes, Kerry. Wait, is that how your series goes? That was, I just activated my series.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Oh my God. Hey Siri. What would you like, Kerry? I'm wondering about, first of all, I want to stop and get a sandwich on my way home. Please give me the quickest route and tell me how to achieve this orgasm before I get there. Please give me the quickest route and tell me how to achieve this orgasm before I get there giving you directions to Eastside Italian deli and your clitoris Turn
Starting point is 01:02:17 So excuse me, I didn't want to give the actual directions which I was about to do Don't give away my assassination coordinates about to do. No, please don't. Don't give away my assassination coordinates. But I, I, I, I, I'm, first time in LA. This is very exciting to me. Where are you from? I'm originally from, I raised my family
Starting point is 01:02:32 in Fitch Market, Ohio. Fitch Market, Ohio, I've heard of it. And then you moved after that? No, I still live out there. Why did you phrase it that way? I raised my family there and then you trailed off as if you were going to continue and say, but then we moved to.
Starting point is 01:02:47 No, both my kids are now married to the same husband. So, you know, it's not really raising a family anymore. How did they meet their husband? Did they meet him individually or? They did. My 43 year old, she met him when she was grocery shopping at a Kroger down on main street. Okay. And what was he doing?
Starting point is 01:03:05 Was he working there? Was he on his three hours a week? He was on a part-time, he's a part-time Kroger employee, big friends of the people who work there. And then my 19 year old met him at their wedding. Oh, okay. Oh, that's convenient. That's romantic, I guess.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I mean, you know, you go to a wedding and it's like, you hear about hookups at the wedding. Did they hook up on the wedding night? They did. Wow. They did, he consummated it both for both of them. Incredible. Incredible, incredible.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Incredible story. It's really love. It's a real love story for the ages. I love it. I love it. Because you always see when the woman catches the, when the bride throws the bouquet. My youngest caught it.
Starting point is 01:03:43 You always see the husband go, that could be me. Mm-hmm. Wait, so when you're watching wedding videos and you see the bouquet, usually it focuses on, the camera zooms in on whoever caught it. Right. But then it'll pan over to the husband
Starting point is 01:03:58 and you see a recognition in the husband's eyes saying, this could be me marrying the first one. Second wife, yeah. That's what, every man thinks that. I think, you know, it's on your wedding day is, oh, okay. What if I had a second? The garter too, right? You zoom in on the woman and she goes, hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:14 What is that garter when you catch the garter? What does that represent? You have to have sex with the wife. Wait a second. Have I been doing this all wrong? I don't know. Do you have a garter at your wedding? I'm wearing one now, but I didn't have one at my wedding. Something has to hold this all wrong? I don't know. Do you have a garter at your wedding? I'm wearing one now,
Starting point is 01:04:25 but I didn't have one at my wedding. Something has to hold up my stockings. That's true. Yep. And those high heeled shoes that you keep trotting out the door with. Oh, I'm a lady after all. So this changed your life.
Starting point is 01:04:38 It changed my life. And now I have this deep need to tell all the women, all the women everywhere. That is possible. It's possible. How did you achieve it, if you don't mind me asking? And with as many details as you're comfortable with sharing. Keep it PG for our audience.
Starting point is 01:04:56 PG 13, though, you can say fuck once, but not about actual, you know, the act of having sex. Was that the fuck that that was the only one? Yeah, shit, I used it. You can say shit though. Okay. This is a special, I heard a special children's episode that you were doing. Just one podcast episode a year is for-
Starting point is 01:05:13 Is just for kids, yeah. Six to nine year olds. Oh no, is that this one? Yeah. Yeah, but that's it. It's fine, yeah. Okay. Oh, okay, well, so my husband,
Starting point is 01:05:20 I wasn't even thinking about it, and I think that's the key is you don't want to- Take your mind off what you're doing. Exactly. So my husband, he's going even thinking about it. And I think that's the key is you don't want to. Take your mind off what you're doing. Exactly. So my husband, he's going downtown with his D-Dong and I'm, my eyes are closed. What's the first D stand for? His D-Dong. His, his, his. Devil's dong.
Starting point is 01:05:37 His devil's dong. Okay. His devil's dong. When it's aroused, it becomes the devil's dong. So he's going downtown when, when I, now, first of all, not to interrupt again, but when I hear he's going downtown, I think of he's not doing it with his D-Dong. He's going downtown in terms of an oral capacity. Well, also you just mentioned Main Street, so I'm really confused.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, these directions. Yeah. I don't know where I'm, where do I turn left? It's okay. It's, if you're not familiar with the Ohio area, just feel free to close your eyes and just enjoy. So he's going downtown. He's going downtown on his devil ding dong and-
Starting point is 01:06:13 On it. Anyway, go ahead. My eyes are closed because I'm just trying to focus on anything but that. And- Do you not enjoy sex? I do now. Okay, you did it this particular time.
Starting point is 01:06:27 You're focusing on something else. I'm focusing on something else. And I imagine a woman walks into the room and the woman, and the woman- Oh, here she comes. Yes, she just got off a big elephant outside. That's her snapping the garters. She's snapping both her garters and she's...
Starting point is 01:06:48 And that's her putting her... Takes the ball gag out of her mouth. And I'm like, take off the blindfold too, you know? And she... And then suddenly it hits me. I say something overcomes me and I start feeling tingly. You were turned on at this moment because you're imagining a woman coming into the room
Starting point is 01:07:10 and observing you. Do you think the observing was part of it? Or do you think- Could be. Maybe. Could be. You're more sexually attracted to women. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:07:22 That was quick. Nope. A quick no or quick for me to offer it? Quick no, real quick no. Oh, no, no. That was quick. No? A quick no or quick for me to offer it? Quick no, real quick no. Oh, no, I don't think so. I don't think it's that at all. You don't think it's that? No.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Can I ask you some questions about, when you go out on the town. Go for it. And you see a very attractive woman walk into the establishment you're in. What goes through your mind? Well, my first thought is, well, you know, I'm a mom. I'm a mom first.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I'm a wife second. Are you constantly cycling through your rankings? Cause now I feel like you have OCD. No, it's just a quick little reminder. I am a mom, but when I walk into places, my first thought when I walk through a door is not, I'm a mom. Is it always the same first thought or is it different for which room you're walking into?
Starting point is 01:08:11 It's never, I'm a mom. Usually I'm trying to figure out a second escape route. Wow, just like Jack Reacher. That's what dads do. That's what dads do. I'm kind of a Reacher guy. So you're a Reacher first. I'm a Reacher first.
Starting point is 01:08:24 You're a man second. You're a guy. Mm. So you're a Reacher, first. I'm a Reacher first. You're a man, second. You're a podcaster, third. I was in the room when Meredith Brooks wrote the song Bitch. Where are you? And I feel like this is the process. What are you doing there? What's that?
Starting point is 01:08:35 What were you doing there? I was trying to pitch Meredith Brooks on a documentary about her first album because I knew it was gonna be huge. I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, but this is what it was. It was just a long list. The bitch first. This is the list. Yeah. And, I'm a mother. But this is what it was. It was just a long list.
Starting point is 01:08:45 And it was just kind of picking out which scanned with the song. Right, yeah. Because she's a equine enthusiast, but that just didn't work out with the song. Was that number one or two, or it was up there? It was after lover. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm an equine enthusiast. She collects Hummel figurines. That didn't make it. That didn't make it. Too wordy. I fought hard for that, I said Meredith lover. I'm not quite an enthusiast. I'm not. She collects Hummel figurines. That didn't make it. That didn't make it. Too wordy. I fought hard for that. I said, Meredith. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:08 This is relatable shit. This is relatable. Hummel might sponsor this. I don't know if it's a person or a brand, but yeah. She should have listened to you. I wish she had mentioned that. Cause I had that question when listening to it. I go, well, this is a nice song, but is she a?
Starting point is 01:09:20 What does she collect? Exactly. Yeah. What does she do in her downtime? Yeah. Is she sleeping? Is she collecting? I don't do in her downtime? Yeah. Is she sleeping? Is she collecting? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:27 There should be a response song that's asking Meredith Brooks questions about what else she's doing. That's the thing. It's like we sleep most of our lives. You know what I mean? That should be number one on the list. I'm a sleeper.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Yeah. I'm a sleeper. And I'm assuming she doesn't know how to swim because she didn't mention that she's a swimmer. Yeah. Don't throw her in a deep lake. I wish you had been in the room with me. They were making me sound like an idiot.
Starting point is 01:09:49 I'm incensed the more I think about it. They would give me the meanest looks when I was like, well, people are gonna ask if you're a swimmer. Mm-hmm. They'd be like, all right, Michael, why don't you go get us lunch? And I was like, all right, all right, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Or are you an intern this day? I mean, you're getting lunch. Well, yeah, I wanted to direct a documentary out of it, but ultimately I was moving the boom arm of her microphone higher and lower. Were you living in the studio there too? I was working out of it. You were living there.
Starting point is 01:10:14 I was having, I was doing my dinner for schmucks there. Wait, those are your dinner parties? You have the dinner for schmucks parties? Yeah, I just, well, not anymore, because I just found out recently I was always the schmuck. Oh. Can you believe that? You're a schmucks parties? Yeah, I just, well, not anymore, because I just found out recently, I was always the schmuck. Oh. Okay, can you believe that? You're a schmuck first.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Director second. An unwitting schmuck first. Anyway, I'm sorry. I do want, because I think I'm learning here, because I would like to be able to give my partners orgasms. Yeah, how do you say we should, because Michael and I have never experienced it,
Starting point is 01:10:47 but we'd love to give that to our partners. Are you with someone right now, Michael? I think she left. I'm not interested. Anyway, we'd love, we'd love to give our partners this experience. What techniques would you suggest that we use? I would suggest that you tell her to close her eyes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:08 And tell her to think about anything else. Okay. And see who walks in that door in her mind. And I have a feeling it's probably going to be a beautiful woman with long blonde hair. Long blonde hair? Okay. How long? Down to her ankles.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Oh! Like crystal gale? And it's braided, so when she unbraids it, it's even longer. Okay, this is too long. Now I'm not turned on anymore. Well, it's not for you, Scotch. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Wait, this is what you're into? You're into someone with the longest hair? It sounds like a children's 70s television program. It sounds like it's something Fred Guinness would do, the longest hairstyle or something. I think you're getting a little confused about what I'm quote into. This isn't what I'm into,
Starting point is 01:11:52 this is just what makes me orgasm. Okay. I'm into my husband, I love his D. His D-Dong. His D-Dong. And I'll do anything for that D-Dong. Duh,-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D- Yes, Scott. Description of a day gone like that. I don't need you, Siri. Okay, Scott. Reminder, you've got that ER screaming later.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Thank you, Siri. You're welcome, brother. Oh, put in a reminder, April 30, we get dirty. Oh, exciting. I'll know what that means. Okay, on April 30th, we get dirty. No, I haven't heard that. April 30, we get dirty. I haven't haven't heard that. No, April 30th, we get dirty.
Starting point is 01:12:45 I haven't heard that Siri voice and you both have it. Yeah. It's new. It's with the liquid interface on the new iPhone, the new iOS. Yeah. It's from the liquid interface. Yeah. I'm from the liquid interface.
Starting point is 01:13:01 We all know exactly what I'm talking about. I got every word right. So, all we have to say is when we get out our D-Dongs, close your eyes, think of something else and think of someone walking into the room. Yes, put yourself anywhere but here. Where were you by the way? I was in my marriage bed. Right, I mean physically,
Starting point is 01:13:23 but when you say put yourself anywhere but here, like in your mind's eye, where were you at this time? I was at a hospital. Okay. I was in the hospital bed. Like an ER? Very sexy. Like an ER.
Starting point is 01:13:36 I was thinking more the pit, more of a- I haven't gotten to it. Mm-hmm. You gotta finish these to understand what she's talking about here. You gotta catch up. I was in a- I haven't even seen Landman.
Starting point is 01:13:45 There's some guy who comes on here talking about being a water man every once in a while. I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm a water man. He's a water man. My ears are burning. Hey, get out of here. No one likes you. Take it easy.
Starting point is 01:13:57 And you've been on twice. Get out of here. Take it easy, my good man. Wow, who was that? I can't even remember his name. Russ Saguaro, he's a water man. You just have so many people coming and going here. Look, it's an open door policy
Starting point is 01:14:09 and it's been that way since the beginning. At some point I have to change it. If it ain't broke. That's a good point. Now, as a public service announcement, I remember these being funded by the government as like, you know, for smoking or the state. Or the state.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Or drugs, or, oh, I didn't know you guys funded those. Different state, but yeah. Yeah. Or an organization, mothers against drunk driving, for instance. Are you against anything like that or? I'm pro orgasm. Okay, so mothers for?
Starting point is 01:14:40 Orgasm. Orgasm. Mopho. Mopho. Mopho. Mopho. For? Orgasm. Orgasm. MOFOs. MOFOs. If anybody would like to join the MOFOs, we are taking submissions. Right now it is a pretty intense process to join though. I think you could make some real money in merchandising on these MOFOs.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Yeah, exactly. What's the process of joining? Well first, it's a lot of paperwork unfortunately, because I go through each application. It's a very tight group that we are. You have to list who you are. I want the first 20s. What's that? Oh, meaning the rankings of what we are first?
Starting point is 01:15:18 Of what you are first. And then I go through them and then I think about them and I pray over them and I close my eyes and I throw a die and whosoever application the die lands on, I say, you are now a mothful. Can I just ask you, your eyes were closed while you were describing that, who were you picturing podcasting with in that moment? And who walked into the room?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Well, with my eyes closed, I imagine that- Is it Mark Maron? It's not... He's not gonna be doing the show soon, so you gotta get him out of your mind. Oh, no, it's never a man. It's never a man. I was closing my eyes, I think it was a beautiful redheaded woman, and she was walking in that room, and she was covered in blue paint.
Starting point is 01:16:01 She had blue paint on her. A redheaded woman with blue paint? I think maybe. This is Mystique from the X-Men franchise. And she keeps disappearing on me. Have you ever seen that Smurf porn that went around for a while? It was like a Dutch. No.
Starting point is 01:16:16 It's real. It's real. Oh, I think I might. Maybe. That made me cross my inbox at some point, but I didn't click on it. This is something fun for people to Google for dessert. After this podcast. But it's real, Smurf porn.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Go on. Is it, uh, cause I never saw it. Is it animated or? No, no, it's live action. And they didn't have the best quality body paint, it seems. A lot of transfer. Oh, the poor location scout probably had to do a lot of cleaning up after that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Yeah. Worth it though. So you're into Mystique. Maybe. Rebecca Romaine or Jennifer Lawrence, either one. I don't know their names. Are you into her powers or are you just into her looks? I don't know, but she wasn't wearing a bra.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Well Mystique is famously naked in those films because she's a shapeshifter and so when she shapeshifts into another character her body you know forms the clothes that that character is wearing. Wow no it could have been it could have been but this woman. Sounds like I'm into her powers more than you. This isn't about you don't need to orgasm you we already know. Do you mind if I think of Rebecca Romaine and Jennifer Lawrence naked in the Mystique paint while I orgasm? Scott, open your eyes, please. Open your eyes.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Okay, oh, all right, okay. But it's wonderful to have you on. Unfortunately, we're running out of time. We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called Plugs. ["Plugs"] Oh, nice and short, too. That was Gimme Dat by Levi Sines. Thank you so much to Levi Sines. And what are we plugging, Carrie?
Starting point is 01:18:08 Obviously the Four Seasons. Ah, the Four Seasons on Netflix, why not? Then you're going back into production in September. And that takes about three months, you were saying. It'll be back out again next year at the same time. At the same time. It's June, next year. How many seasons do you wanna do with this?
Starting point is 01:18:23 Till I die. Till you die. I mean, you asked me, how many do I think there do this? Till I die. Till you die. I mean, you asked me, how many do I think there will be? Probably not that many, but wouldn't that be great? It would be great if like, it could sort of coincide. You know what I mean? Like the very last episode. I mean, I don't want to live forever,
Starting point is 01:18:39 but I would like many years. You have like a heart attack on screen. Oh, and they use it. And they use it. Oh, talk about a Peabody. There we go. Anything else in the can that you have coming up? Oh, some guest stuff.
Starting point is 01:18:54 And then we've got the state documentary, which hopefully will be available to the masses soon. I would love to watch it. Long Live the State. Well, this is, I mean, the Four Seasons is enough. This is a major project. Yeah. It took months to film. I'm tired from it. is, I mean, the Four Seasons is enough. This is a major project that took months to film. I'm tired from it. Yeah, I would imagine, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:09 And I love that you're coming here for bride month when it's your summer off right before you go. I wouldn't have come, but it is bride month. Yes, thank you so much. And Michael Lindsay-Hawke, what are you plugging? Well, I wanna just chime in on the state. I think you do a screening, you all the state, 600 undersized Samoans, all in the audience.
Starting point is 01:19:31 We film it, we make a documentary about the documentary screening. It plays, daddy. Yeah, this is the same idea you pitched The Beatles. And if it wasn't even good enough for The Beatles, why would the state do it? Although some people have called the state The Beatles of comedy.
Starting point is 01:19:44 And why did I feel like kind of good about myself that you called me daddy? I was like, oh, oh. I have told you, it works. I pitched for years and look at me where I am now. Look, you can pitch, it's like asking people out. Eventually you'll get one yes. You miss 100% of the pools you don't dive in.
Starting point is 01:20:03 And you miss 99% of the shots that you take. Is that the, is that the? It's true, we were shooting around right before this. Well, I plug that. Big Grande, Dan Lippert, Ryan Rosenberg, Drew Tarver, John Mackey are putting out a new series shortly. It's biggrandewebsite.com. You can listen to the Man Doc pod,

Starting point is 01:23:45 like just like a red curly hair. Everyone's, that's why he goes off and he's like, I don't understand these people. Is they're all bullying him for being a red hat?
