Starting point is 00:00:00 Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at night, sailor's delight, red sky at morning, I think that goat kicked you in the face and your eyes full of blood, sailor. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. All right, thank you to Colfax McLiverneck for that catchphrase submission. Catchphrase superstar Colfax McLiverneck. It's a little difficult to say. I think I am going to pass on that one, but thank you so much, Colfax. Wonderful to see you still submitting catchphrases
Starting point is 00:00:53 this many years into the show. And wonderful that you're all listening this many years into the show, even if this is your first show, or maybe it's your last show. I wouldn't blame you. My name is Scott Aukerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang,
Starting point is 00:01:04 and we have a wonderful show today. Coming up, we have an anti-aging pioneer. This is exciting. I mean, aging, we all want to know how to stop it. We all want to know, like, can we freeze exactly where we are or even go backwards a little bit if you know what I mean. But we're going to be talking to that person a little later. We also have a competitive eater, which is great for a podcast. I think the sounds of eating will be very wonderful for about half of the audience to hear. But before we get to them, let's get to our guest of honor. She is joining the exclusive One Timers Club, which is so exclusive. Who is in the One Timers Club? We have, of course, Donald Glover, Childish Gambino. We have Ben Stiller. We have, who else is in the One Timers Club? Those are
Starting point is 00:01:59 the only two I can think of. I heard Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd is in the One Timtimers club, that's right. This is an exclusive club. It's fantastic to have you in it. She is an actor who you would know from such wonderful films as The Razor's Edge. Say anything.
Starting point is 00:02:18 The Razor's Edge with, who is that? Bill Murray. Bill Murray, yes. Oh no, where was it? River's Edge. River's Edge, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember he did that serious film.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, like the same year as Ghostbusters. Yeah, but I liked it. I was into it. I didn't see it. I remember him standing on like a flat boat. A Razor's Edge. Yeah, he was, yeah, he was good at things. Was that the most of the film, him standing on this boat?
Starting point is 00:02:43 I think so. River's Edge, of course, is what I'm talking about. It's very confusing because River is your old friend and he wasn't in it. And it was Crispin Glade, it should have been called Crispin's Edge. It should have. He was very edgy in it.
Starting point is 00:03:00 He was edgy in it. You remember that sideways mullet? Yeah, it kept falling off and it was good. She now though is an author? I am. An author, her book, Say Anything, or sorry, Say Everything. I'm getting all the time wrong today.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I made it confusing just so I would mess up myself. What if you called it State Everything? Okay. Then it's like so far away from say anything that people wouldn't confuse it. Exactly. Aver anything. A lot of statements.
Starting point is 00:03:30 But this comes out this week. It is a memoir, which is exciting. Please welcome for the first time, Ioni Sky. Hello. Hello. So wonderful to have you on the show. Thank you. Are you, you say you've heard Paul Rudd,
Starting point is 00:03:43 so you've heard an episode of this before? I have, I've heard probably seven or eight. Seven or eight, okay, but you are a freedom listener perhaps? Oh, major. Would you call yourself the name that everyone calls themselves when they're a freedom listener?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh my God, wait, what is it? Isn't it something bad or something? I mean, they decided to be called that. Right, so I just, that didn't penetrate my brain because I was too vain to call myself that. But yeah, I'm well in that group. Well, it's wonderful to have you on the show. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I, of course, a big fan of yours, love the films even though I can't remember what they're called. And this new book, I've read it, if you can believe that. I read a whole book. Thank you. That's amazing. Well, even my dyslexic friends that I gave, they said they haven't read a book in like five years, but they couldn't put it down. So that's my pitch. Because they couldn't figure out how to read it it probably. What do I do with this thing? Do I put it down or do I keep trying? I don't know. But it's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:04:50 It's a memoir about your, would you say it covers mainly your early life? Yeah. And then the end gets just rushed in there so people know I'm okay. When is your current husband coming into this? Exactly. It's about 20 pages before the end. Just, you know, but if you want to know I make it and I'm a great, better than ever, just go. In fact, I gave it to Crispin at one point
Starting point is 00:05:14 and he said I had to read the end first just to make sure. Cause I'll read memoirs and stop if I know that it's like a bad ending. Oh really? I don't want to hear the years they're taking pills in a bed. I'm like, Marlena Dietrich, I want you to be happy at the way end.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So this is a happy ending. This one has a happy ending, although we're not at the ending yet. And unless you die in the middle of this podcast. I might, okay. And that would be a very happy ending, I think to be on this show. Yeah, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:41 So it covers your early life as well as, I mean, it covers a fair bit of your life even before you start acting. Yeah, yeah. I had no idea that you had a famous father. Right. I had no idea, but your father is. Donovan, the mellow yellow, Sunshine Superman,
Starting point is 00:06:01 hurdy-gurdy man. Yeah, a couple- He wrote a lot about men doing like, Oh wow, Superman. You love the song. I used to sing sunshine Superman when Batman Superman. Oh really? I would go Batman Superman fucking around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Um, and it was in my head constantly. I love those. I love those scenes. He also has a bizarre song Atlantis, but that's it's in good fellows, but it's this amazing just voice over he does about Atlanta. He loves Atlantis, but that's it's in Goodfellas, but it's this amazing just voice over he does about Atlant- he loves Atlantis. Where is it in Goodfellas? I don't remember them going to Atlantis in Goodfellas. I know it's just on the soundtrack. I did leave for about five minutes to go to the bathroom. Did they like swim down to the bottom of the ocean? Yes they did with my dad. Is that a surprise to you when you are watching a movie like Goodfellas, which, uh, and does
Starting point is 00:06:45 no one tip you off to suddenly you hear your estranged fathers? I love, like, the only time we've worked together is, I think we're both in Zodiac, because I'm in Zodiac and his song is, so I felt very excited about that. Oh, yes. Because it's like we sort of work together. Zodiac, of course, Paul F. Tompkins comfort watch. Oh it is. Oh the mood of that, I get it.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I get it. It's very cozy. There's something about that vibe. You know it's about a serial killer. Yeah. You never see anyone, spoiler, I guess you never see anyone actually get killed in it, right? Yeah, I don't think so. It's just all about trying to find a guy
Starting point is 00:07:18 and people are wearing sweaters. Yeah, exactly. The whole sweater and the mood and the look is good. So you have this famous father, but you don't know him. Know him, know. You don't even meet him for years and years. 17 years. I really don't know him. They split up when my mom was pregnant with me. So when I met him, I was like, oh, I'm touching my father for the... But then a few years ago, I was like,
Starting point is 00:07:43 it's kind of like what it must be like if you're adopted or something, a little bit. I was sort of like that, oh, I'm meeting my biological, although I knew, you know, of him so much. Yeah, I mean, you, it's, I think people who are adopted don't necessarily see news of their father in Rolling Stone all the time. Listen to the records all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, but it's, yeah, it's fairly, it feels like it's fairly traumatizing for you because it seems like a lot of what happens in the book afterwards is maybe a result of that. It's called storytelling. No, I had to, I think so. I mean, that was sort of coming together like, oh, I'm chasing love a lot in my book and acceptance
Starting point is 00:08:25 and this must be about my dad. So it might be, I'm not a hundred percent, but it's a great storytelling. No, I mean, I'm sure it has something to do with that. I don't know if that's the whole reason I was chasing tail so aggressively. Well, speaking of chasing tail, it's a very sexy book. You describe a lot of-
Starting point is 00:08:45 I wrote it to turn people on. A lot of sexual encounters with many celebrities. Yeah. I shared a few with Madonna. Yes. Someone- You shared a few exes with Madonna, yes. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Not shared a few sexual encounters with Madonna. No, no. I never did. But there was that, it details a lot of you dating when you're first starting out doing movies like The River's Edge. You almost took up with Keanu at one point. And then you have these long romances
Starting point is 00:09:23 with these rock stars like Anthony Kiedis. You get married to Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys. All sorts of just like a lot of stuff going on in this. A lot of musicians. And I'm now with the musician. Yes, Ben Lee. And you even like almost took up with Robert Downey Jr.
Starting point is 00:09:45 at one point. Oh yeah, that was an insane, I mean, I was friends with him for a long time, not anymore, cause you know, he's maybe a shut in billionaire that I can't, who knows where he, but back in the day, but that was my looking for like a husband again, like thinking I was ready for a husband again,
Starting point is 00:10:04 but it was so funny. I visited him in jail and that was just like really funny to me, because he was so hysterical the way he was living in their like gluten-free diet and he just, and his whole thing to get him through times, like pretending he's at Shutter's, doing these meditations, like at Shutter's. You would say that he and his cellmate would meditate every morning and imagine they were at Shutter's doing these meditations. Like at Shutter's. You would say that he and his cellmate
Starting point is 00:10:25 would meditate every morning and imagine they were at Shutter's on the beach. Yeah, the cellmate would be like, where are we now? And he's like, Shutter's. But I love how bougie it is. Like Shutter's in Santa Monica. A lot of people, if you don't know what Shutter's
Starting point is 00:10:38 on the beach is, it's a hotel that features Shutter's on the windows. Yeah, I don't know. It's sort of a bougie or was. Like's just funny that you that's where you would imagine But it must have been better than being imagining you're in jail. Well, yeah one time you've ever been to jail Yes, I think yeah. Yeah that was yeah, and I mean the book Details you growing up sort of a Hollywood kid Where people like Robert Downey Jr.
Starting point is 00:11:05 you know because he's like in Less Than Zero and he's, you know. I think through, all through my brother, my older brother. Your older brother was like a model and an actor, or is a model and an actor. Yeah, and he just like, he was so outgoing and he just like found every scene, every, you know. And you keep having like friends through him.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah, really. He, you know, then he keep having like friends through him? Yeah, really. He, you know. Like the Zappas suddenly are your friends for years. Yes, through my brother. And then he dated like Susanna Hoffs or, and even when we were young, someone who was in double trouble, remember? Jean, one of the twins, Jean, Jean, it's actually,
Starting point is 00:11:41 who's that comedian actress from? Anyway, that was exciting when we were little because they were on a sitcom. Anyway, but yeah, he always was just finding people. Even that one day he brought River Phoenix over because they were filming like a TV movie on our street. Right, and he brings River Phoenix over and River. We weren't like faint, we weren't, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:01 we were just living. Neither of you, you were just kind of like, had you even started acting at that point? No, my brother was just started trying, he got himself an agent, he did it all on his own, but he brought him in just to like, hey, someone's working on our street. Anyway, he was like that.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And you sort of fall backwards into acting a little bit. You get this opportunity to audition for The River's Edge. You hadn't really thought about acting at that point? No, I was very, I was creative, but extremely shy, and I wasn't like a theater kid. I was just like drawing, and I loved like musicals and stuff like whatever, singing in the rain or West Side Story.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I was always like doing them in my living room, but never, I was too scared to like, but I forced myself to do that one audition because I don't know, I guess I sense like I need, I don't know, I guess I just wanted to get out of high school. Right, and which you do, you get emancipated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 You kind of like fall backwards into say anything in a way because Moon says to you like, oh hey, Cameron Crowe is looking for the person to be in this movie. You kind of like fall backwards into say anything in a way because Moon says to you like, oh hey Cameron Crowe is looking for the person to be in this movie and I think you're right for it. So come meet him at my house. Yes, yes. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And that's all it took. Like he met you and then did you have to audition? Oh yeah, I had to majorly audition. But what was fun, cause it was Jim Brooks's bungalow on like 20th Century Fox, I'm like a huge, I love old Hollywood, I love, and at the time. Was the Homer Simpson statue there yet? Gosh, I wonder, what, it was 86, like who knew?
Starting point is 00:13:37 No, it wouldn't have been. Although it would have been weird if it had been. I know, that would have been. Before the Simpsons was ever on the air, they're like, well, I don't know, there's a statue of this guy that we think is gonna be important. Yeah, like the mashed potato thing in 2001.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Close encounters, probably. Close encounters, like just someone thought of it and built it. Yeah. Yeah, no, but that was thrilling for me. As much as I was afraid to audition, I was so gagging for any, I love all the business stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I thought it was exciting. And so there's a lot of that in the book of just you kind of interacting with famous people and I'm trying to hype up your book here. You know what I mean? Like I'm trying to like, yeah, the emotional aspect of this book, but like, you know, there's a lot of like cameos, star cameos in this, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:19 Keanu comes in and he gets into the shower at one point. Right, very sexy book. Did you get to record the audio book? I did, I did it. And I'm living in Sydney, I did it in Sydney. And I loved it. I loved doing it more than I thought I would. And how do you do it when like,
Starting point is 00:14:40 cause there are a lot of star cameos in this, and there's a lot of dialogue from these. Do you impersonate the person or? Yeah, I tried. I've tried. So my favorite was doing my dad, who has a really funny, hippie, weird, like riddle-y. But the ones that I got nervous about
Starting point is 00:14:57 were like doing Adam, Ad Rock, because back then everyone was like, talking and lingo and like dope and whatever. And I was so afraid to get it wrong. And I bet you it's terrible. That part might be terrible. Can I hear a little bit of your animal of it? Okay, so you'd be like, oh, snap, you know. All you gotta do is, here's your way and you start with, drop. Exactly. Yeah, so I think that part's gonna be very cringey. Let me hear your Keanu.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh yeah, so, oh, sorry, oh, like, oh, what, here's a towel. Oh, oh, here's a towel, wait, does he offer you a towel at one point? I don't know. I know I'm aggressively, thankfully he didn't let me go all the way because I'm trying my hardest and he's being a real gentleman, which. Did you have to clear a lot of the stories with the people involved?
Starting point is 00:15:54 Yeah, the legal stuff is interesting. And it's different in England and Australia, it's different because you can say anything you want, say everything you want about public people if it's already in the open and people know, but in England it's different. Like it's, and you can't. It's easier to sue people there.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I think so. And you can't hear, say stuff about people who aren't famous. They can cut like. So you had to rename your old high school boyfriend. My first husband, I mean husband, oh I mean husband oh my mother's first husband I had to change his name right but the famous because he'll come after us and kill us like did you send it to Keanu Reeves and go like is this cool I didn't send it
Starting point is 00:16:38 because I was scared of his powerful publicist right coming in and saying see this is you have to change it and And I'm like, no, no, no. I think if you send it to anyone, you're gonna get notes. I would just not send it to anyone. I didn't. I only sent it to a couple friends and I kept my mom really close
Starting point is 00:16:54 because I wanted her to love it and feel a part of it. Now my theory is you talk so much about hooking up with various men and women throughout kind of your history. Yeah. And going into some detail with it. My theory is then at the end of the book, Ben comes in, your husband,
Starting point is 00:17:12 and you have to talk about how good he is at sex in order to like- I know. Like it was a deal that you made with him. I know. Like, okay, if I can talk about all these people, then I get to say you're good at sex. Exactly. I know, I did hear a friend wrote a memoir
Starting point is 00:17:26 about somebody famous and he was like, as long as you just say I have a really big, because he did have a big, big penis. Who's a friend? Do you want me to say it? Yeah. Well, it was about Ben Mendelsohn. Ben Mendelsohn, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So he, and he's named in the book, but he was like, good, you just say. Good, good, just mention that I have a big penis. And she's like, I will, and he's named in the book, but he was like, good, you say. Good, good, just mention that I have a big penis. And he's just like, I will, and it's true. But yeah, with Ben, it's funny though. Like I had such a history, and he's like younger than me, my husband now. So he'll probably always will be.
Starting point is 00:17:58 He will, I think so. And so he came in and you know, it's good. Sometimes I feel guilty. Like I feel like he should have had, he had a little bit of touring years where he was a little bit. I'm sure he was fine. But you know. He's a rock star as well.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah, yeah. I don't want him to feel competitive. He'll have his own book. There are other books by other people that I'm sure you've been in. Scar tissue. Scar tissue, yeah, like most notably, which is Anthony Kiedis' book.
Starting point is 00:18:28 And I don't think Flea's book, I don't think it's it. The only two people I talked to was Flea and Tom Sharpling about making, for some reason, getting a little advice or something. I don't know, it just sorta happened, and I can't remember what they told me to do. I think Flea said write every day or something. Good advice.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I think Flea said play bass every day, which didn't really apply to this. Well, it's a fantastic book and a lot of really interesting stuff and very kind of sad in parts and happy in others. And I mean, you must be excited. It comes out this week. I am really excited. Yeah, people are really loving it. It's coming out finally.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I love it. I'm so happy. Are you gonna write another book about either the rest of your life or just suddenly you get into like a hard-boiled crime noir or something? I don't have no, I can't even imagine. You're a writer now. I know, I know, I know. The pressure to write the second one. But yeah, I can, I'll write all about,
Starting point is 00:19:34 I don't even know, all about this podcast. Yeah, that would be great. Pulling out this podcast? Yes. Oh shit. My lawyers are gonna sue the pants off of you. That's true. Okay. It's very exciting to have a book out. Thank you. Are you gonna be out there on, when does the New York Times bestseller list come out?
Starting point is 00:19:51 Thursday or Friday or something? Yeah, if everyone buys a book right now, I will be on that list. Buy it now. There are so many memoirs like Jennette McCurdy's and stuff that just stick around forever. You just have to say you're really happy that your mom died, because that's so.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Your mom's still alive. No, yes, she is. She's, but you know, but yeah, it's really good. I'm excited, it came out really well. Fantastic, so you're on the page, you're on the screen, both big and small, and phones. I would imagine there's like pictures of you on people's phones. I'm imagine there's like pictures of you
Starting point is 00:20:25 on people's phones. I'm sure Ben has a picture of you on his phone probably. That's exciting. I know, it is exciting. I know, yeah, it is exciting. What about those people that watch porn in public on their phones? Yeah, what about them?
Starting point is 00:20:38 I don't like that. I like, oh, okay, you don't like them. On the train? What is that? On the train, really? Or something, like I've seen that now. People will just publicly, it's the new form of flashing. With headphones on or?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Sometimes not. My friend just said, don't go on the subway in New York because the last time someone was just watching pornography on their phone. It's their data. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, there's nothing. You can always look over their shoulder.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And enjoy it with them. Yeah, you suddenly don't have to pay for this porn. Yeah. But your book, while very sexy, I wouldn't say it's pornographic. No, no. Pornography, of course, defined as, I know it when I see it, and I see it all the time.
Starting point is 00:21:16 But say everything is out in stores now, pick it up, it's hardback, right? Mm-hmm. Oh, I love those hardbacks to books. Yeah, and it's good looking to put out. It has a nice coffee. What's the cover? Because I haven't seen the, oh, you sent me the cover,
Starting point is 00:21:34 but I only clicked on the actual book. What's on the cover? Yeah, it's like me at 15 looking like, like you're a little worried for this character. Like, is she getting into too much or, but oh wow, she's so ethereal and interesting. And you know. Are you on the back cover too?
Starting point is 00:21:52 Like a picture of you now? That's like me now, yeah. I think, yeah, I think it's on the back cover. Yes, on the back or the inside, yes, the back. Wonderful. Yeah. Two pictures of Ioni on the front, on the back. That's personally, that's all I need. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:06 But then there's a whole book inside. I have brains there too. Say everything is out now. We're gonna take a break. Can you stick around and talk to our other guests? We have an anti-aging pioneer. We also have a competitive eater. This is a big, big show.
Starting point is 00:22:20 This is perfect for me. Yeah, the one timers club. Enjoy it while you're here. Thank you. Because then what's next? The two timers club. This is perfect for me. Yeah, The One Timers Club. Enjoy it while you're here. Thank you. Because then what's next, The Two Timers Club? Ugh. That sounds bad. Yeah, it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:22:30 The One Timers Club, Ioni Sky, Say Everything. We're gonna be right back. We'll have more Ioni, more Comedy Bang Bang. We'll be right back 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 Comedy Bang Bang, we are back. Ioni Sky is here. Say Everything is the book. Approximately 300 pages on this. I believe so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:53 You ever think like, what if I just wrote another 100? I wrote probably another 400. Another 400, what if people- But it didn't, yeah. Didn't make the cut. No, on the cutting floor. What's in that 400? So much about my mom,
Starting point is 00:23:05 cause the notes were like more Enid, my mom's name Enid. Yeah, and a lot of, just a lot of different stories that were really good. Wait, but you got notes saying more Enid, and then you wrote it, and then they cut it out?
Starting point is 00:23:17 It's true. I know. What a waste of time. I know, it's true. See, this is the thing, people giving notes don't know anything, do they? I know, it's like, ugh. But yeah, it's true. See, this is the thing, people giving notes don't know anything, do they? I know, it's like, ugh. But yeah, it's about approximately 300.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I really am, I'm sort of weirdly rule-oriented when they told me this is a good length, this is the good length I was happy. 300 is what they want it to be? No, if it's exactly 300. It's like 299, let me look it up. Whatever the good length is. Oh, I'm so curious. Whatever the good length is, that's why I like when me look it up. Whatever the good length is. Oh, I'm so curious.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Whatever the good length is, that's why I like when a woman says that. Whatever the good length is, I'm fine with whatever you got. We need to get to our next guest. He's an anti-aging pioneer. This is exciting because I think we both live in Hollywood. You grew up here and youth is at a premium in this town.
Starting point is 00:24:05 So true. And we're gonna talk to him about it. Please welcome Travis Skin. Hello, Scott. Hello, Ione. Hi. Nice to be here. Thank you for having me.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Yeah, it's so wonderful to have you. Yes. You're joining the One Timers Club as well. That's right. This is the first of I'm sure many. Perhaps. No, I'm sure. I would love that.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I honestly, it's so hard to get guests on this show. I would love it if you would come back. Yeah, I would be that. No, I'm sure. I honestly, it's so hard to get guests on this show. I would love it if you would come back. Yeah, I would be happy to. I'm very thrilled to be here and to just be talking about my work and my experience. Yeah, what is your work? Because obviously, you're an anti-aging pioneer. What does one do to become a pioneer in this field?
Starting point is 00:24:41 That's a good question. Well, my goal- Thank you so much. You're welcome. You're on track to be back another time at least. Oh, I'm so sad. I did notice that you never said That's a good question. Well, my goal. Thank you so much. You're welcome. You're on track to be back another time at least. I'm so sad. I did notice, Ione, you never said that's a good question and Scott needs the positive reinforcement. Ione, here's an opportunity to say it now. Listen, I'm thrilled to be doing this with you. Like really. But what about the questions? The questions were very, very, very good. Okay. Perfect. Good. That'll make the rest of this easier for all of us
Starting point is 00:25:06 So wonderful to have you Travis skin. Are you a doctor or you know? No, I'm not Um, I made my money in the tech industry In 1996 I bought the domain name horse calm and then I sold it for three hundred eighty million dollars in 2001 Horse calm horse calm. I don't think I've been over to horse.com recently. No. Have you, Ione? I haven't. No, now it's mainly a Malaysian gambling
Starting point is 00:25:30 and pornography site. So maybe on the train, people are watching horse.com. Oh, that's great. I mean, do you get a piece anytime anyone logs onto horse.com? Yeah, I get a little bit every time someone logs into gamble or watch pornography and masturbate. Yeah. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Which is great. And that comes right back into my pockets and I can put it towards my project of never dying. I don't want to ever die, and I'm not going to. Oh, okay. I mean, it's possible. Probable.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You think it's probable? I know it's probable. Because I sometimes wonder if I'm ever going to die, because I'm the person I'm seeing the world through. It's my POV. Yeah. And if I'm gone, then does the world even exist? So I think I might just never die.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Oh yes, Scott, when you die, the world will continue, move on like nothing changed. But I don't want that to ever happen to me, you understand? So I've got a team of doctors and they're working with me to prevent aging, to stop me right where I am, which is at 47 years old. You're 47 currently, or you've been 47 for a few years. Well, I'll tell you this, I'm 47 by, I guess, calendars,
Starting point is 00:26:27 if you trust them. But my doctors say that I have the mitochondria of a 46-year-old, and that's just gonna keep going. I'm just gonna keep going. Is it gonna go down, or is it gonna stay at 46? I think it's gonna go down, and hopefully not too far, because we don't know what happens if you get into negative age.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yeah, yeah. I mean, it would be weird to be a teenager first, and then to be a baby, but then negative age. Yeah, what happens? Yeah, right. I would love to be a baby again. That sounds ideal, but I don't think that's, you know, I... What is it about being a baby that you want to do again? Oh, you can shit wherever you want. You don't really have responsibilities. You're smooth. A lot of good things. I mean, you can shit wherever you want right now. People frown on it.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Sure, so you want to do it without people frowning. I don't like the judgment, Scott. Okay, so what are the techniques that you're using in order to enter these techniques that Ioni and I can do? Absolutely. It's not that hard. If you think about it, one of the things I've kind of discovered is that if you avoid all moisture, if you avoid all water, you'll stop aging because the water causes rot, right? If you put something in water for a long time, it breaks apart, it rots things out in the wilderness. So I just cut out. I guess like, yeah, if you have a leaky faucet or leaky pipes in your house, your rust and then your-
Starting point is 00:27:33 Mold. Mold, your floors suddenly warp. You all get it. This is great. You all get that's exactly what happens. Our bodies are just like pipes. They're just pipes. I wasn't buying this drink for glasses of water a day thing. What is that? No, that's bullshit that the government wants you to believe to just sell more water out of the pipes.
Starting point is 00:27:51 The government sells water, you think? Who do you pay? I guess stores, but I don't know who they pay to get it. What about when you're in the bathroom in your shower? You pay for stores for that water? Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Jennifer Aniston with her Evian. I pay her.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Well, yeah, she's part of the problem because she's in a lot of ways She's my biggest enemy because she's constantly pushing the Evian everybody I'm saying like no cut it out You can just you know you remember the Gatorade packets It was like the powder that you would put in oh sure they still make those you can just you know That'll hydrate you just buy or you don't want to be hydrated. You just want these Yeah, the hardest part of this is I love the taste of Gatorade and so when I cut cut out all liquids, I was like, how am I going to get that taste of Gatorade? And they stopped making the gum. So then I just put the- That was the hardest part for you.
Starting point is 00:28:31 It was the hardest part. It's the only hard part. The rest of it's been great. You grew up with a love of Gatorade. Love of Gatorade, love of Gatorade gum, love of the powder, just love of the aesthetic of it. What about when the Eagles won the Super Bowl recently and they dumped the Gatorade on the coach?
Starting point is 00:28:45 How do you feel about that? Well, he's dead, man. As far as I'm concerned, he's dead and rotting in the ground right now. I don't know why he'd let them do that. If someone did that to me, I would shoot them before they did it. You sound judgmental for someone
Starting point is 00:28:54 who doesn't like being judged. Oh, I would never judge. I don't believe in judgment. I would never judge. I'm just saying that as a objective fact, that man will die. Yeah. And that's good. And that's good. You like the fact that other people die?
Starting point is 00:29:07 If that's what they want. I assume if you touch water, that's what you want. I want people to be happy. So you think going to the beach, swimming pools. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You can go to the beach, just have to stay, you know, like the Santa Monica beach is so big. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Like you just stay right by the PCH. What about when you're like, you say to your partner, you're like, ah, I don want to get in the water today, but you roll your pants legs up a little bit, but then the tide comes in actually like a little too far and it hits your toes. Yeah, I would never do that. I would absolutely never do that.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And I mean, I don't have time for that. That seems to happen every time you go to the beach. Me personally? Anyone. Are you watching me? I know. I want to make that very clear. Don't watch me.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I'm not watching you. I live a private life. Okay, Travis. Travis, Travis, I'm not watching you. I live a private life. Okay, Travis, Travis, I'm not watching you. I don't have drones following you. I didn't bring up drones. You brought up drones. I don't have a team of private investigators, you know, shadowing you. No one's bringing this up.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I'm not bringing this up. I only stop bringing this up. You're bringing this up. The only reason I'm bringing it up is to say I'm not doing it. Well, listen, someday you're gonna be dead and I'm gonna be alive and then I'll celebrate. But what if I do exactly what you do?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Then we can be together. Okay. You and me, we can be together forever. Are you viewing this like you're gonna be a clan of immortals who all stick together or? Maybe, yeah, cause you have to be on the same mindset. Cause like what my life is, is bad, right? Every day I pray for death,
Starting point is 00:30:21 but that's the small price to pay to live forever. You pray for death every day? My body feels bad, I have Every day I pray for death, but that's the small price to pay to live forever. Wait, wait, wait. You pray for death every day? My body feels bad. I have headaches all the time. If I walk naked, it sounds like corduroy. I am so dry. It's horrible. The Pearl Jam song? Yes. That would be tough to have your body sound like that. Because at first it was like, great, great jam. But now I'm like, I can't listen to this anymore. So I have to always be wearing clothes. Because your body now suddenly has dried out to be the grooves of essentially
Starting point is 00:30:48 what the record was. Yeah. Thirty three. And you're looking at me. Well, I mean, if it's that bad. Because then I get to live forever, I get to live more. Right. So like, yeah, some people get to, you know, there's that like live fast and die young, leave a good looking corpse and all that sort of stuff. I don't abide by that. I think all corpses are bad looking.
Starting point is 00:31:08 I'm just going to go on record, especially after like five days. Yeah. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, after five days, that's about the point. Yeah. I just watched the interview with a vampire and there was some corpses in there and living forever in there.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So you relate to this a lot, having just seen one movie called Interview with a Vampire. Well, you live forever. Kristen Dunst though, she was a vampire in that movie. And she was young. She was young and now we've seen proof that she wasn't actually a vampire because we've seen her currently. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:31:42 But Tom Cruise. On the other hand. I mean. He looks good. He looks, I mean. Does he? He looks good. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Oh, I will say when I saw Top Gun, Maverick. Yeah. There was a little pre-roll where he came out and thanked everyone for coming to the movie theater and someone in the theater went, Oh no, he looks old. Oh no. So Tom, it comes for us all.
Starting point is 00:32:05 That's rude to do to someone. Too much condensation. That's exactly right. Like I've talked to him and I've tried to get him to get on board, but he's not interested. He's not into it. That surprises me. Yeah, he wants to be doing stunts and clouds and stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And this would cut that down. Oh, because of the moisture in the clouds. Because of the moisture in the air and the clouds. Oh, got it. So why would you want to even live forever if it sounds like it's not fun? Hmm. You know, I've never really thought about that. You haven't thought about this?
Starting point is 00:32:30 No, I guess at a certain point you get so rich that you need other worlds to conquer. And I thought if I was the oldest, you know, then I'm the best again. Right? Like if our friend Fred Guinness was to, you know, put you in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest human being alive. That's something that you've done that no one else has done. That's something. And then all the other old people are coming for you and they're going to try to beat you, so you have to stay ahead of that.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And I just don't want that. You can tell, this is my life now. It is what it is. Are you at the top of the game in this new venture, this new- I mean, you're only 47, you say? 47. And all my doctors say I'm doing great. And I mean, I pay them millions of dollars a month, so they have no reason to lie to
Starting point is 00:33:11 me. They're saying that I'm as healthy as anyone they've ever met. So they're happy, so they have no reason to lie. Because they're making enough money where they're like, hey, we could do whatever we want now. We're so rich. I could lie to this guy, but what's the point? I'm so rich.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah, exactly. you get it. You absolutely understand. So, you know, that is, I feel encouraged by that. And you know, I just wanna spread this around. Any of you, any of you, and this is a comedy bang bang thing, if you stop drinking water, you'll be better. That's your only method is just stop drinking water. Touching or being around or in, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And not just water, any liquid, I guess, because all liquids are water. Oh, touching water. I thought you meant touching. Okay, water and where we're around. Yeah. Well, touching is troubling too because sometimes that becomes a sexual thing and then you start sweating. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:33:56 There's liquids in most of the things that we rub together. Yeah, most people. Not me anymore. You have dry dick. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have very dry dick. I keep talking about the Gatorade powder. But like when I ejaculate, it's basically that it's Gatorade powder.
Starting point is 00:34:10 It's Gatorade. What flavor? I don't know. You'll have to ask some of my friends, but the some of my friends. Yeah. I'm not. I'm also polygamous. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's the same doctors. We had Gatorade tasting, maybe flavor. Yeah, Gatorade tasting. And that's kind of the fun of it. It's like, is it gonna be orange? Is it gonna be cool blue? You don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah. Do you have loved ones that, do you have a family in other words? No, absolutely. One of the things about living forever and this interview for a vampire actually did a good job of representing this is you can't have loved ones
Starting point is 00:34:40 because unless they get on board, they're not gonna be around. Can you have lizards, dry animals? Yeah, dry animals, turtles. Yeah tortoises. Scott listen to yourself, turtles? Well one's on the land. Yes the tortoise. Did you sound so stupid? No it can't be a turtle. I apologize Travis Skin, I you know I thought that I was asking good questions. You were before. I veered into. What made you so angry?
Starting point is 00:35:06 Turtles are amphibians, they live in the water. Maybe you miss them. I feel like you miss them. That's why you're getting triggered. Yeah, that's the only difference between a turtle and a tortoise is one lives exclusively on land. Sounds right. You got so upset and you don't even know.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I have a headache all the time. Okay, so I'm a little maybe you're jealous Cuz tortoises live they do live they do forever. Yeah, we live at least a hundred years Don't they if they don't get run over? Yeah. Yeah, that's one. That's also one of my main concerns getting run over Yeah, no matter avoiding water is gonna avoid me getting run over and I don't look well that must be part of it Wanting to live forever is, is that accidents can happen to you. You can be asleep and suddenly carbon monoxide poisons you.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You can get flattened by a piano that one of those comical movers is hoisting up a rope. Absolutely. And that's why I don't... That's not how I get the pianos in my house. I built a ramp. How many pianos do you have in your house? Eight. Are they all grands or some baby grand? That's not how I get the pianos in my house, right? I built a ramp. How many pianos do you have in your house? Eight. Are they all grands or some baby grands? No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:36:10 It's each for a different mood. So like I've got some grands and I've got some of just the baby grands and then I've just got some like fun keyboards sort of like synthy sort of thing. How many pianos do you have, Ione? I would imagine you have a few. I did, but not anymore.
Starting point is 00:36:22 None in Sydney? No. How many guitars? Oh, four. Only four. I think so. We kept it light when we moved to Sydney. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:32 We got a pod and we just came. An iPod? We got enough. An iPod and four guitars. It's all we needed. It's all you need. So you got rid of all of your family. I mean, do you still have?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Well, they got rid of me is another way to look at it because the way I live now wasn't suiting the way they live because they were a very sort of like effusive, huggy, happy, positive family. That's the thing, human beings are made up of what, 70 some odd percent of water. Must be terrible to touch one of them. Oh, it feels... You know what? Because what if you hug one and suddenly water comes out,
Starting point is 00:37:06 like sweat. Be terrible. And to me now, because I haven't been touching people, all humans feel like those like squishy tubes that are filled with water that you squeeze that the kids have, you know? Do you know what I'm talking about? I do.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Did you know what I'm talking about? Squishy tubes that kids have. How can I explain these better? What generation? Oh boy. I think kids never grow out of squishy tubes. Wait, those things that you used to make balloons and you blew into that little tube?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Not those plastic balloons. Gosh, how would I just, I've never had to describe one of these things. Wait, a squishy thing. It's like a, so yeah. It looks like the gas station kind of thing that blows. Kind of, yes. But they're smaller.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And you squish it. I know what you mean. And when you go like this. It looks like you're like- Can I get a video of you doing that? Sorry, sorry. I sound really trashy and I'm not, but.
Starting point is 00:37:53 But yes, I know what you mean. And they feel, yeah. Yeah, that's what people feel like. Okay, oh, that's not great. This must be a lonely existence though. I mean, don't you ever long for the companionship of another person? That's what AI is for.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Oh, you're an AI guy. Oh yeah, we'll all be AI guys someday. Yeah. I'm very invested in my friends. Oh, okay. That sounds like, everything's a movie to me. Like in You, no, what was the movie? Her, yeah. Her.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Her. You though is not a bad movie. You is a Netflix series. TV show. Yeah, Netflix TV show. Starring one of my favorite Canadians. Who? Nevermind.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Oh, okay. But. Yeah, yeah, so you have a satisfying, do you have a thing on your eyes that you look at or you just have a relationship? Do you wear those goo goo glasses? I wear the goo goo glasses and they don't work so good for me because my eyes are so dry it's hard for me to see.
Starting point is 00:38:48 But like you can change these AIP, you can program them to be whatever you want. So I just get a lot of, you would love this, Scott. You can just have them compliment you all the time and that's sort of the relationship and that's fun and that's good and that's all I need. So what is your day to day like? You have a series of chat bots who are your friends.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah, so I awake in my bed. So you have a bed, beds are okay. Oh yeah, absolutely, not a water bed. I know where you're going with it. Okay, it's a regular bed. Okay, but I mean, water bed, you're not touching the water unless it leaks. I feel like you're not listening to me.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I don't want even the chance of rotting from that bursting and getting, I've seen so many comedy movies where that's happened, I don't want it to happen to me. Yeah. All right. So anyway, I wake up with an excruciating headache. I take some Advil Dry, and then I just- Advil Dry. Advil Dry.
Starting point is 00:39:36 It's a brand they made just for me. And then I break- How do you take it? How do you ingest it? Nose. Nose. Nose, yeah. And it's very- So you're snorting it. Are you crushing it up into a powder and sn ingest it? Nose. Nose. Nose, yeah. And it's very- So you're snorting it, are you crushing it up into a powder and snorting it? No, it comes pre-crushed for me.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Yeah, it's great. That's so cool. Isn't that so cool? The doctors, my doctors are so good and they care about me. They really do care about me. So you wake up in your bed and then you take your Advil dry. Then what happens?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Then the doctor- It seems like you have then 16 hours to fill. What do you do? Well, no, again, I do not have energy. So like my doctors come in, they check all my vitals, they tell me I'm doing good. Are they living with you in the compound or? Yeah, I'm in the-
Starting point is 00:40:16 Do they have to commute to you? Well, there's lots of, I'm in the guest house and then they're in the big house and then they come out to me, which is nice. Why are you in the guest house? Well, there's just a lot of them. I don't wanna put them out. They shouldn't have to bunk.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Okay, but there's a bed in the guest house. Well, it's a pool house, so it's a, yeah. It's like a pull-out bed. Yeah, where you sleep is a bed. Sure. Right? Yeah, I guess so. And you're sleeping on a? It's a-
Starting point is 00:40:41 Towel bed? A towel bed? Yeah, that's a pretty accurate representation of what it is because it's a dog bed with a towel on it. So yes, it's a bed. Do you own a dog? No. Listen to me, Scott.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I know, but why do you own a dog bed? They sweat out of their tongues. Thank you very much. That's a good point. Anyway, to sleep on is why I own a dog bed. So you go to a pet store and you order a dog bed for you to sleep on and just go to a bed store and order a real bed. Well, I was concerned there'd be a waterbed in there and then if there's like an earthquake
Starting point is 00:41:11 or something it would burn. Okay, I understand. Yeah, sorry, I didn't explain that well. Okay, so your doctors come into your pool house. They check you out. Check all my parts, make sure I'm doing all good. Tell me I'm doing really good and I'm going to live forever. And then they go off to do whatever they're going to do the rest of the day. Most of the rest of the time,
Starting point is 00:41:26 I'm chatting with my AI friends, maybe I'm catching up on Tubi. Maybe I'm just- Tubi, one of your AI friends? No. Tubi is a great ad-supported streaming service. Oh, yeah. We got to talk about this. Yeah. This is the topic that I really want to talk about.
Starting point is 00:41:44 I'm down to talk about Tubi Yeah. This is the topic that I really want to talk about. I'm down to talk about it too, because Conair is always on. And streaming services are OK, even though they have stream in the title? Well, yeah, I had to be convinced. But yes, eventually I got there. It makes sense to me. So pretty much your entire day, are you lying down on the dog bed? Because I would imagine you don't have the energy to stand up. Yeah, I'll get up sometimes to like do my shuffles and then I'll lie back down.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Shuffle. Yeah. Yeah. I've got to do my shuffles. You shuffle around the pool house? Yeah, shuffle around, do two laps and then I, then I get back in the bed. And it's, and if I keep doing this, you have to understand, I will know what the future is. Isn't that amazing? Cause I'll be there. What do you want to see in the future? I mean, like what birds, Avengers end game already
Starting point is 00:42:31 came out. Yeah, that was a big one for me. That's what I was trying to get to. So now I'm trying to figure out like, well, what's next? Avengers end game though was a 2019, right? So that was six years ago. Yeah. You hope to get to 42. Yeah, I hope to get 42 and I did it. I did it. So I think I can do anything. But to answer your question, yeah, you hoped to get to 42. Yeah, I hoped to get to 42, and I did it. I did it. So I didn't do anything. But to answer your question, yeah, you know how like dinosaurs became birds? I want to see if birds become dinosaurs again. Loop back around.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Loop back around, yeah. That's my goal. It's beautiful. Thank you very much. Yeah. That would be, I mean, that would be cool if one day you're looking at a bird, it's flying around, then suddenly it just turns into a pterodactyl. It would be cool, and then the scariest fucking shit you've ever seen in your life.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Everything crawling back into the swamp. Yes. Well, not me, obviously. I wouldn't follow them. You'd be the king of the land then, because everything would be in the sea. Ideally, you know, I am a monarchist and I believe that's where we should go in that direction. You're a monarchist.
Starting point is 00:43:19 We haven't talked about that. No, but I do want to get back to Tubi, but we can talk about the monarchism if you want. Let's talk about the monarchism. Okay, yeah. You want the United States of America to be a monarchy? Yeah. Or every country? Well, ideally... Ruled under one name?
Starting point is 00:43:31 Ideally, that would be the same to me. One world government... One world government ruled by a king, chosen by God, and it would be me. And that would be you? Yes. Okay. And what do you... Would you be a benevolent monarch? I would delegate. I don't have interest in the day-to-day. I just want the title. And in the whole world,. I just want the title.
Starting point is 00:43:45 And then the whole world, there'd be like five monarchs and you'd all kind of meet once in a while. We'd chat, you know, it'd be nice. Just like- Exchange a few things. Yeah, absolutely, you know, it'd be fun. Yeah. Does that sound fun? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I mean, honestly, I don't know that I would enjoy a life where, I mean, we all want to live longer to see our loved ones and see, you know, what happens to them. But without that and without any like TV, like Better Call Saul's Over, you know, Avengers Endgame came out. I'm trying to think of anything else that like
Starting point is 00:44:16 is still up in the air at this point, you know? I guess Severance for some people, even though I haven't seen it. White Lotus is more wet. Yeah, White Lotus just started. Yes, White Lotus. That's keeping me going. I do do wanna see the next Mission Impossible, going back to Mr. Cruise.
Starting point is 00:44:27 That's a good point, it's the final reckoning, so. And it's very tense for me, because they have to go down to that submarine that we left off last time. That's your nightmare. It's absolutely a nightmare, so that's a horror movie for me. What do you do when it rains?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Stay inside, what do you mean? Just stay inside, I've got a roof. Okay, it's as simple as that. Just stay inside, yeah. Man, you start off so good with the questions. I would think that's the number one best question. What happens if suddenly there's like a leak in the roof? You know, or an earthquake. You didn't even want to go into a bed store. Because there might be a waterbed.
Starting point is 00:45:00 My doctors say there can't be a leak in my roof. They checked it out. Your doctors, I mean, they're contractors as well? I don't know, I gave them each an extra $100,000 to check the roof to make sure that it couldn't be a leak. And they're doctors, they like have like- They must be smart. They have to be smart, right? I mean, like if you can open up a human being
Starting point is 00:45:17 and fix all of the guts and stuff in there, you must know how to fix a roof. Yeah, a roof is just like part of a, it's just like a head. Yeah, it's like a skull. It's a building head. It's a building skull, yeah, in a lot of ways. Or a helmet, a motorcycle helmet for a building.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah, I guess it isn't like a head. I guess then the attic would be the head and the roof would be the helmet. What would be the neck, the ladder up to the attic? Chimney. Chimney? Chimney, I think, would be the neck. Okay, and then of course,
Starting point is 00:45:42 the kitchen is the heart of the home. Oh, absolutely, yeah. But then the arms, I guess, would be like hallways. Or maybe like, if you have two garages for some reason, that could be the arms. And then like the... Basements, the butt. The butt, a hundred. Basements, the butt.
Starting point is 00:45:56 What's the penis or the vagina? The bathrooms. Oh yeah, great. Then the legs are... I guess the legs would be the lawn. The lawn and then the feet. And then, well, there's no feet, it's a building. Oh, I was picturing it.
Starting point is 00:46:10 I was picturing a ranch house or craftsman. Well, this, I mean, it sounds like a terrible existence, but you're happy? Oh, no. You're not? No, it's very unhappy, but like at this point, like, you know, the way you succeed in tech is you don't believe in sunk cost fallacy
Starting point is 00:46:26 and I don't believe in it. So I'm just gonna keep going down this road and eventually it's got to turn around, right? Like if I see that bird turn into a pterodactyl, it'll all be worth it. Would you be happy then would you say like, okay, I can die now happy? Well, no, because I wanna know what the pterodactyl does next.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Probably goes back into a bird in a few million years. Yeah, well, I don't like the probably. He just ping pongs back and forth like that. Maybe I'm not the scientist. I just started a horse dot com. I mean, you didn't start it. You just I started it. You just reserved the domain name. Yeah, reserve the domain.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Did you start an actual website? Yeah, well, it was just for creative writing. I was doing at the time. About what? Horses. Doing what? Fucking, Scott. It couldn't be clearer. All right, we're going to have to take a break.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Can you stick around Travis Skin? Yeah, it looks like it might rain. I'm going to be here for a while. Oh, shit. I'm surprised you're even here. Yeah, I know. I should have checked the weather before I left. All right, we're going to come back.
Starting point is 00:47:23 We have a competitive eater. This is exciting. Do you eat things, by the way, or? Yeah, I eat a lot of things. I'm a big're even here. Yeah, I know. I should've checked the weather before I left. All right, we're gonna come back. We have a competitive eater. This is exciting. Do you eat things, by the way, or? Yeah, anything that's as sand-like as possible. Okay, got it. We have a competitive eater coming. We're gonna be right back.
Starting point is 00:47:35 We'll have more Travis Skin, more Ioni Sky. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang Bang, we're back. IoniSky is here. Say Everything is the book. It is out in all fine stores. I guess bookstores. Although there'd be some stores, I would imagine,
Starting point is 00:47:55 they would put it on the counter or something like that, right, that aren't bookstores. Yeah, right. Like a nice jewelry store, maybe you would have it out there. When you're checking out and there's cute little things. Yeah, why not? Yeah, I should do a pocket version of it.
Starting point is 00:48:07 That would be so cool that you could keep on a key chain and just flip through. Yes. Reading about hooking up with Anthony Kiedis while you're in line in the grocery. Kid stockings. We also have Travis Skin here. Hello.
Starting point is 00:48:22 And it has started sprinkling outside. This is very stressful for me. Yeah, I'm so sorry. That's okay. It's not your fault, I don't think. And the sprinklers are on too. Yeah, that's wasteful. Hey.
Starting point is 00:48:32 I think- We want you to stay here. Really? I'm happy to stay here. I want to stay on theme. When it's sprinkling, I want the sprinklers on. Okay, yeah, yeah. It's anesthetic.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Okay. We need to get to our next guest. They are a competitive eater. So many questions. What do they eat? How much of it? Please welcome to the show Dr. Scrumptious. Hello, Scott.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Oh, hello. Oh, you're from London? I'm not from London, but it sounds as if you are. I'm from London. I got the biggest mouth in London. The biggest mouth in what part of London are you from? I'm from the center. The center, mouth in London. The biggest mouth in what part of London are you from? I'm from the center. The center, that's a beautiful part.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Thank you. Yeah, Dr. Scrumptious. Yes. So you are an actual doctor, meanwhile Travis Skin is not? Well, it's a misnomer. A doctor is a designation in the eating world. When you get good enough, you become doctor.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Oh, okay, so it's a title almost that you can achieve. It's a title, that you can achieve. Yeah, like captain. Sure. You are general. General. Colonel. Colonel.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Sergeant. Sergeant. Judge. Judge. Judy. Judy. Judy's a title in the States, is it? I think so, I'm not quite sure.
Starting point is 00:49:43 So you have achieved so much in the world of competitive eating that you are a doctor. Yes. And is Scrumptious your Christian name? Scrumptious is my Christian name. I'm Christian through and through. Yeah, it's my name. And people thought, oh, you're gonna go
Starting point is 00:49:58 into competitive eating. I thought, no, that's a stereotype. It's a lot like people who are named Smith, like, oh, you're gonna be a blacksmith. Yeah, is that true in the States? Yeah. Damn, all right. Well, it's true for me too.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Number one most popular name in the United States is Smith. Smith? Yeah, and everyone is always like, you're gonna be a blacksmith. Oh God, I gotta contact these people, except I did fulfill the stereotype as well. What got you into competitive eating? Well, when I was little, first I was,
Starting point is 00:50:26 I was always fixing things around the house. I was always noticing things. Like what? There's a hole in the wall. Mom, I patch it up. That's a, I mean, that's a nightmare for Travis Skin. A hole in the wall? A hole in the wall is how the moisture gets in.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Oh yeah. No windows in my house. Oh. No windows? No. What about the pool house? It's dark. Seems like a pool house would have like, you know, French doors? No. What about the pool house? It's dark. Seems like a pool house would have like, French doors that open up out to the pool.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Often they do, mine does not. Do you mean snooker house? Yes, I'm sorry, yes. It's called snooker house where you're from, yes. When people play snooker in these houses? Okay. Anyway, yes. So I was always tinkering trying to fix things,
Starting point is 00:51:04 and then I noticed, I noticed a competitive eating contest on the telly and I thought. So wait, I'm sorry. Huh? You were always fixing things. Yes. And then while you were fixing something, you noticed something on TV. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:17 I had fixed the TV. There was rats eating the cords and I fixed it by killing the rats. The air bar fixes it. Fixing the problem. If you got rats eating your cords, if by killing the rats in the air bar That fixes it? Fixing the problem. If you got rats eating your cords if you kill the rats that's that to fix It seems like the cords are still the problem though. Oh Yeah, the cords are a problem, but you got to make them less tasty for the rats Oh, I see you gotta put stuff that rats don't like on there What don't rats like because it seems like they like everything. Well, I never seen rats eating a broccoli.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Oh yeah, I haven't either. That's okay, I mean, I've- Have you? I've seen pizza rat, but I haven't seen broccoli. Yeah, no. Yeah, interesting. Pizza rat, that's American thing? Yeah, I guess, what would we call it in- We had crumpet rat, is that anything similar? Yeah, crumpet rat is very similar.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Very similar, okay. Okay, good. So you'd put broccoli on the wires, and then you notice on the television there's a competitive eating contest coming up? Coming up. And I go, okay, I stay tuned. This is on the news, I'm assuming?
Starting point is 00:52:12 It's on the news, it's on the news. We got a local news, a local eating contest. I stay tuned, I watch all the news, the bad stories. Like what was going on at the time? Jack the Ripper, his identity being debated over and over. That was the bad stuff? That's the bad stuff. Over and over people debating, who is he, is this guy?
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah, I get sick of it. They bring a lineup in, they go, is it this guy? Is it this guy? Vote in, text the code. Like of current people? Yeah, text the code. I think they're on the wrong track here. Is this a reality show in Britain,
Starting point is 00:52:41 who is Jack the Ripper? This is news. Oh, it's just the news. This is the news. Bringing in a live lineup. This is our hard news. Bringing in a live line up of people who are alive currently wondering if it's, if they were Jack the Ripper back in the 1800s. If it's Jack the Ripper, so I get through all that. I get through all the local stories. Oh, this woman saved a cat.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Oh, this man saved the dog. The news sounds very boring, I gotta say. Like if all there is to report is a competitive eating contest coming up in the future, not one happened already, and someone saving a cat and they're still debating Jack the Ripper's. That's London.
Starting point is 00:53:12 That's London. That's London. This is London local news. London local news. We ain't got ass going on there. You know what I'm saying? It's all the past or the near future. Nothing in the present there. No one living in the present.
Starting point is 00:53:24 It'd be weird to watch a new show that was just reporting on the present. Like this is happening now. Right now. It's like, go do something about it, mate. If it's happening now, stop talking to me. I guess live like car chases are the equivalent. And I think that's nuts.
Starting point is 00:53:38 You make a man stand in a tornado in front of a live car chase, get him out of there. Yeah. That's unsafe. You're American lot, you're crazy. You're trying to kill all your people. I do think so. So you see this on the news.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I see it, I say, whoa, I think there's a more effective way to eat all that food. The, well, what way were they eating? They're just putting it in their mouths. Sometimes they're sorry, dunking it in water. Repulsive. So it goes down smoother, I think. I think that's for the buns.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Ione, have you ever watched one of these competitive eating contests like Joey Chestnut eating the hot dogs? And they have the methods. They got the methods, but they're all diagnosed with a problem wrong. What was your technique? They're trying to make food smoother.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I'm trying to make all my organs bigger, make mouth bigger, stomach bigger. You can fit full food in. Why are we trying to only, we're trying to tackle a problem from one angle. Oh, you're trying to, you're trying to kill the rat. Put the broccoli on the cords too. Attack it from all angles.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Or else it gets the hose again. So you, can you put your fist, whole fist in your mouth? I can put as many fists as I want in my mouth. Like we have probably six fists between the three of us. Hey, hey, give it a go. It's like London town they say. All right, let me try. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I'm not gonna do it obviously. Yeah, there's moisture in it. Ask one. I've got two. Give me a two. I have little. Okay. I can get three fingers in, now four, and now five. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:09 All right. Impressive. Amazing. You've made your mouth really big. Almost swallowed our fists there. Oops, I'm not on the clock. Girl, amazing. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:26 How did you make your mouth so big? Well, you could do various techniques, you know, some secrets of the trade. Yeah, that's what you're here for, to give us the secrets. So this is, this looks like magic, right? You gotta agree not to share the code. Okay. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Do we all promise that we won't share these secrets that we hear? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Or any magic trick secrets, you know. You could throw those in as well, if you'd like. Okay, and I'm not supposed to share those, so if I share those, you can't share those.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, so firstly for the mouth. When you're asleep at night, it might not seem, it might not seem intuitive. If you take a bunch of chains with hooks on them. When you're asleep at night, it might not seem intuitive. If you take a bunch of chains with hooks on them. Like Hellraiser style? Yeah, this is instantly like Hellraiser too.
Starting point is 00:56:13 You put them on the sides of your bed. They probably go out for me. You put on the sides of your bed, stretch your mouth out at night. All right? Wow. Because that's eight hours or so that are just lying fallow where you could be stretching your mouth out. 16 for me.
Starting point is 00:56:26 I was gonna say eight hours if you're not a good worker. Yeah. If you sleep 20 hours of the day, you could be stretching your mouth out for a long time. Right, so Hellraiser style, stretch your mouth out during the night. Well, I like to call it scrumptious style. I like to call that film a scrumptious ode or kind of a homage to scrumptious
Starting point is 00:56:47 Oh, how so you call hellraiser 2 an homage just scrumptious. Does anyone know what you're talking about? Not one person Not one now you're getting the word out If you ever hear an ode to scrumptious, that's hellraiser 2. We're talking about hellraiser 2. Absolutely Absolutely other techniques you can use if your whole head was a little bit bigger That's Hellraiser 2. Assume we're talking about Hellraiser 2. Absolutely. Wonderful. Absolutely. Other techniques you can use. If your whole head was a little bit bigger, you don't even need to stretch your mouth out that much. So if you stick little pins in your head.
Starting point is 00:57:14 This is Hellraiser again. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, it's scrumptious. Thank you. I hate when these guys take your stuff and they say, it's my idea. You ever have that happen? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Someone takes your thing and they go, I came up with it. That happen to you? Yeah, I think idea. You ever have that happen? Someone takes your thing and they go, I came up with it, that happen to you? Yeah, I think so. You think so? Yes, any joke I've said, my brother would take it and say it louder, but you guys probably have had this happen to you in your lives.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Not us. Not me and Scott. Nope, nope, nope. That's awful. We don't do that. You're the ones who take the joke. 100%. I'll say it louder.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Oh, maybe, but. But I don't think anything else. So I feel for you. That's yeah. Are you always going on and on about the fine line between pleasure and pain as well? Cause this is oh, discrepancy stuff. I mean, really?
Starting point is 00:57:54 My God. See, I can't make it through the whole movie because it makes me sick. Have you ever met a seno-bite? Is that how it's pronounced? I desperately am trying. Seno-bite? I would say cenobite.
Starting point is 00:58:05 One of them has a CD in their head. Well, where do you think they got the word bite from? I don't know. From you? For competitive eating. Wow. Thank you for those sound effects. That's satisfying.
Starting point is 00:58:18 That's mukbang. Now, those are some of the nighttime techniques you can use to stretch your head out, stretch your mouth out. Now, what about the stomach? Huh? That's kind of the- I thought you were going to say, what about the nighttime techniques you can use to stretch your head out, stretch your mouth out. Now, what about the stomach? That's kind of the- I thought you were gonna say, what about the daytime techniques? I did too.
Starting point is 00:58:29 You could be doing daytime techniques. You'll just have to be asleep on the bus and attach a bunch of cords to the bus while you're sleeping. So some of my techniques, firstly, you can go the surgical route. It's not my favorite. Because a lot of people go the opposite way. They try to staple.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I go, waste of staples. Yeah, you want to unstaple. Yeah, so you could actually ask them, can I get the reverse? Can you kind of stitch it to the sides of my hips, make it bigger, you know? Have you ever thought about installing like several other stomachs, like you're a cow?
Starting point is 00:59:00 I wish I were a cow. I wish I were a cow. He's direct eye contact with me. I wish. I don't know what I did. This guy's horse.com, he's not cow.com. Nothing wrong if you had cow.com. I'd leap over the table, I would. I did get a little bit of a surgery.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I was in one surgery I permitted myself. You know, kind of in Hollywood, you go, I'll get a little Botox, but then I'm done. I'm cutting myself off. Sure. You know, I don't want to Botox, but then I'm done, I'm cutting myself off. Sure. You know, I don't wanna go crazy and become all plastic or whatever. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Thank you for putting in terms that we can understand. Yeah, yeah. It's Hollywood stars. Yeah, you're all stars here, you're all celebrities, you get your new noses, your new faces and all that, new skin. Mm-hmm, yeah, all my skin has been replaced. Really? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I mean, everyone's has over the years. No, that's not what I mean. So what I've done is I had a couple of my vertebrae removed and kind of asked, can you send my stomach back there? Seems the waist is only up in the front part. So you took vertebrae out of your back in order to wrap your stomach more fully around your body. Yeah, so I kind of got, it's in the round.
Starting point is 01:00:05 My stomach's in the round. Oh, so it's not a proscenium anymore. Yeah, no, it's not proscenium stage. But you can't, so the food can kind of go in a round. Thank you again for putting into terms that I only understand as actors, yes. Yes, yes. Yes, so it's kind of a circuit, a closed circuit of food that just gets to kind of spin around.
Starting point is 01:00:24 So basically, a lot of people, I don't wanna say normal people, but- Oh, okay, good. But people who have traditional stomachs. Tread stomachs. Tread stomachs, they swallow food, it goes all the way down, then it just stops right there in the stomach.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I mean, it eventually comes out the butthole. Right. But that's after it's digested. Yours, meanwhile, goes and it just, it's in a circle, a lot like Mission Impossible. Remember Travis Skin, that one Mission Impossible scene? Already ahead of you, yes, absolutely. He's gonna get the thing and spin it around.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I hated it. I hated it. Sure. It's stuck in that water spinning around. I didn't mind the spin. But he's gotta hold his breath for like four minutes or something like that. Almost died, but guess what?
Starting point is 01:01:04 He made it. And that helped him complete an almost impossible mission. Yep. I said, Craig, I love to know the ending of those movies before. No, is he gonna die? If he's gonna die, I'm not gonna watch this. I think Crispin Glover likes to know the end
Starting point is 01:01:18 of these movies before he watches them, doesn't he? Exactly. So the food just is in constant motion. Yeah. So it can never settle enough to be digested. This is brilliant. Yes. And it also takes longer to come out the end, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:33 Like in a toilet, that water is spinning so you get a longer look, you know? It doesn't just go straight down. Is that why toilets do that? Yeah. So that you can look longer? It's just for our enjoyment. It's for you.
Starting point is 01:01:44 You never been looking? Hey, check all this out. All for our enjoyment. It's for you. You never been looking? Hey, check all this out, all this stuff that just came out of you. You never been looking. Before it goes away forever. It's your last chance, Mike. Oh, I did. Well, I don't use the water toilets, obviously.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Right, right. But I remember them, and I just didn't. What do you do? Do you use fire toilets? What do you do? Yeah, fire toilets. I just light a fire in the fireplace. And then you squat over it.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It's horrible. My life is bad. So how often do you go to the fireplace. And then you squat over it. It's horrible. My life is bad. So how often do you go to the bathroom? It seems like you wouldn't have to because your food is not being digested. It's not being digested. It got big old stomach. So I go about once a week.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Those are good margins for me. Good margins. If I could only do it once a week. Oh yeah. All the time I'm saving. I told you I was a wee tinkerer trying to fix efficiencies in my house. Now that didn't seem to have anything to do with your story other than you happened to be fixing the television.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Remember I'm fixing stuff. That's my thing. I'm fixing stuff. I'm fixing competitive eating right now. That's my thing. Meaning you're fixing people's stomachs in order to get better at it. Why do you want to help other people do this? It seems like if they do these techniques, then they would unseat you as the winner of
Starting point is 01:02:51 the... I assume you win the competitions? Oh, tons. Loads. Couple. How many... Do you have a nemesis? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Yeah. It's the surgeon general yummy. Surgeon general yummy? Yeah. And how many things do you traditionally eat? You know, like what was your last competition? What were you eating? How much of it did you eat? Well, okay, so last competition was in the winter.
Starting point is 01:03:15 So all the food season also was soup. How do they judge how much soup you eat? By the pint? The worst food. It's by pints in England. Because hot dog competitions is like, oh, he ate 80 hot dogs. Yeah. In England it would be pints, here it would be pounds.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Pounds of soup, yeah. I think, no, in England it's pounds, here it's dollars. Yeah. Okay, so dollars of soup. So, so it's how expensive? So you must rig the competition by just buying expensive soup. Lobster bis, gold bis, Goldschlager bis. Those are rich soups though.
Starting point is 01:03:46 That can come back to bite you, right? But I mean only one cup of that. I come back to bite it. Okay. Please. Okay, please. Stop. So you won the soup eating competition.
Starting point is 01:03:56 I won the soup eating contest. I had about $200 of soup. Of soup, how many cups was that maybe? Oh, cups. Like two cups maybe. Oh, cups, yeah. Two to that maybe? Oh cups. Like two cups maybe. Oh cups, yeah, two to two and a half cups. But meanwhile everyone else is eating split pea and they have to eat like 40 cups.
Starting point is 01:04:12 It's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy that they're eating. Smart work smarter, not harder. We had Paul Ladd eating miso, I wanna. What'd you say? Miso. No, before that as well.
Starting point is 01:04:21 We had a Paul Ladd eating miso. I thought you said Paul Ladd was eating miso. Oh, Paul that as well. We had a poor lad eating miso. I thought you said Paul Lad was eating miso. Oh, Paul Lad's not allowed. Oh, wait, he was a competitive eater? He was trying to be not allowed. Oh, okay. Not allowed. No, no, too controversial.
Starting point is 01:04:35 So we had a poor lad eating miso soup. I go, bruv, that's basically free with the meal. Yeah. If you go to a Chinese restaurant. That's a good point, yeah. Why are you eating that? Crazy, you lost. And so I bet if you were in like a chip eating contest,
Starting point is 01:04:50 the tortilla chips, which are basically free when you go to a Mexican restaurant. She won't know what you mean by chips. She'll think french fries. Oh, sorry, sorry, yeah. Yeah, tortilla french fries. Crisps, crisps, crisps. I almost died.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Oh, I don't want that to happen. Not for either of us. It won't happen for me. So the surgeon general General, Yummy though, he or she is out there and Or-they! Okay, I see. We're progressive in the United States. That's good. That's good.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Yeah, she, hello, Surgeon General's can be she's. How many times does that happened though? Literally, she's the first. Literally, she's the first. She has deceited, we say unthrown. I see, yeah, here we don't have a monarchy. You don't have a monarchy. Although we will someday, according to you.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah. She's deceited me once. It was during a summer competition. So we had a, like a roasted pig, you know, cause summer it's seasonal. Like had a luau or something? Like a luau, yeah. If you have to say it in the American terms, a luau,
Starting point is 01:05:55 we called her Fox Day Lunch. Fox Day Lunch, okay. Hunting Day Lunch. Is that Guy Fox or is that Girl Fox? And how many times has it been Girl Fox? Well, it's, it's they Fox, lunch. Yeah. Okay. Hunting day lunch. Is that Guy Fox or is that Girl Fox? And how many times has it been Girl Fox? Well, it's they Fox, but. Right, okay, got it. But yeah, she DC'd me, she ate the most pigs.
Starting point is 01:06:14 She made the most pigs for pounds per dollar. How many was that? She ate about $500. $500 worth of pig, wow, that's a lot of- That's a lot of pig. Yeah. That's a lot of pig. But she's done a couple of extra more surgeries.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I only stopped at the one. She got her stomach taped to the sides of her hips and stuff. Sort of like saddlebags? Yeah. Like their stomach's on the outside? Exterior stomach, ectotopic. This is the thing. I don't know why competitive eaters
Starting point is 01:06:41 don't like cut holes in their throats. Oof. I think for one reason. And then attach tubes to just like some bags why competitive eaters don't like cut holes in their throats. And then attach tubes to just like some bags and like plastic bags that you go like, oh no, these are my exterior stomachs. Yeah, well, there's some people, okay, so there was a cheater, there was a cheater once. Like on that show, Cheaters?
Starting point is 01:07:01 Where they would follow couples around with a camera? It's so crazy because she was both types of cheater. What? She was both types of cheater. Cheating and competitive eating? She cheated and competitive eating. I heard eating ain't cheating. She ate and she ate, okay?
Starting point is 01:07:19 Okay, all right. She cheated by eating somebody out and her husband got pissed. And then she cheated in the eating contest. Where she ate. Where she ate, because she had, she surgically, she had long hair, believe it or not. She had a hole in the back of her neck for all the food to come out.
Starting point is 01:07:36 So people went, my God, 500 pounds, 700 pounds, 900 pounds. She eaten so much. It's just- $1,000, $2,000, $3,000. Just falling behind her? They look behind her and there's a big pile of food? Big pile of food. Wow. Big pile of food.
Starting point is 01:07:49 It was a fall contest. So is pumpkin pie. That's the one I would want to be in. Yeah. I love pumpkin pie. Well, that one was controversial. She had pumpkin pie falling out of her neck in piles. One of the grossest foods I can imagine falling out of a neck.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Well this is all fascinating stuff. How many competitions have you won? I've won two to three. Those are good numbers. All right, well we're running out of time. Unfortunately we only have time for one final feature on the show and that happens to be a little something called plugs. Excuse me if I'm a little slow at it.
Starting point is 01:08:24 You're not though. you're never slow. You talk so fast. ["Wake Up!" by Tim Summers plays.] All right. Oh, there we go. That was System of a Plug by Tim Summers. Thanks so much to Tim. If you have a plugs theme, send it over to cbbworld.com over, sorry, cbbworld.com slash
Starting point is 01:08:57 plugs. And you can upload your songs there and you can be famous for a week. And Tim Summers, you're famous this week and this week only. Your reign of terror ends Sunday night at midnight. What are we plugging here? I only obviously say everything is out in stores this week. Yeah and I just did I just played Jack Black's wife in Anaconda with Paul Rudd your one-time guest and Steve Zaner's on. I believe Jack is in the I think he might be in the Two Timers Club. Oh nice. This is comedy bang bang royalty on this film. I believe Jack is in the, I think he might be in the Two Timers Club.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Oh, nice, I bet. This is comedy bang bang royalty on this film. I know, it's all your peeps in this one movie that I did in the Gold Coast in Australia. Now my Anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns. Is that similar to? Yeah, it's like a meta, it's that director Tom, what was the movie with Nicholas Cage
Starting point is 01:09:42 where he plays himself, so it's that. Oh, the unbearable weight of awesome talent. It's that director, Tom, who also made me with Nicholas Cage where he plays himself. So it's that. Oh, the unbearable weight of awesome talent. Yes. So he's that great director. And this is a remake of the J.Lo, speaking of Banzan, film along with Ice Cube and everyone.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Can any of them do cameos? Are you allowed to say anything about this film? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like, it's sort of a meta version of their remake. Meta-textual? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:09 It's like one of them comedy adventure type films. Okay, this sounds, when's it out? It's coming out, I should know. I mean, they're still filming it. And you play? I play Jack Black's wife and we had to kiss, but he cut his beard so I can find his lips. So when he doesn't cut his beard,
Starting point is 01:10:25 it's like you end up kissing his ear or something. I think it's in here somewhere. I don't know. And then I have a podcast, Weirder Together, that I never plug and so I share with my husband. That's right. Weirder Together. How long have you been doing it? Maybe four years or something.
Starting point is 01:10:43 So approximately 200 episodes maybe? Yeah, about that. Wow. Yeah, that's fun. And what is the, what do you cover on the show? Well, it's sort of morphed into, I was trying to make it like- Like morphing technology?
Starting point is 01:10:53 How long gone or something. That they used in T2 Judgment Day? Yes, we're just, it's sort of morphed, I don't know. It's like, you know, our marriage and we talk about, you know, the topics. Gossip. So if you wanna hear about Ioni's marriage and we talk about, you know, the hot topics. Gossip. So if you wanna hear about Ioni's marriage
Starting point is 01:11:08 or gossip regarding your marriage or other people's marriages. Yeah, we just gossip about each other. We don't fight, we just gossip. Have you ever fought on air? Yeah, a little bit. And I'd like to ask him a musical question because I love the musicians and I love asking,
Starting point is 01:11:25 just like a question of like, what do you think about the fans? Are Led Zeppelin fans like, are Led Zeppelin corny or is it the fans are nerds? Like things like that. Things like that, yeah. The hot topics about bands that had broken up approximately 50 years ago.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Topical, it's all topical. And that's it. And my book and that movie and that. Though those are the, I mean, this is the year of Ioni. I know, I might have a- Podcasts, movies, a book. I know. This is incredible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Did you ever think back when you were going to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mary's Day in a Show back in 1987 that you'd ever be in a movie called Anaconda. No, I never did. But I was, I'm- Alphabetically, this has gotta be your first film. Am I correct? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:14 No, I did one called A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon. A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon. That was the one with River. Although you possibly could alphabetize that by saying night in the life of Jimmy Reardon, comma A. That's right. And no, everyone only called it Jimmy Reardon. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:31 And maybe some, I've done so many funny things like Lifetime movies, I have no idea. A Perfect Mother, that with time. A Perfect Mother. With Tyne Daly. That was a Lifetime movie in Canada. And I'm, you know, those ones from the nineties, they're- Was Tyne Daly your mother in this or was-
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yeah, she was like a mobster who had me killed. That doesn't sound perfect at all. I know. Was she the perfect mother or I don't remember? I'll just send some emails. An imperfect mother maybe? I would watch that. It would still come before Anaconda though, alphabetically.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Well, this is wonderful. Everyone should go out there and buy say everything this week. Let's turn over to Travis Skin. What do you want to plug? Oh, I guess I first I'll just plug, stop drinking water everybody so you can be my subjects in the future. So I thought you maybe wanted friends. You just want subjects.
Starting point is 01:13:20 What do you care if your subjects live forever? Well, I just want some. I want someone to go like, did you see that pterodactyl turn into a bird? And then I don't, I'm not committed. But even if people start drinking water and die, I don't think the whole human race is going to die by water unless there's a huge meteorite that hits us and tidal waves kill us all. You've been listening to a word I'm saying. Okay, I guess not.
Starting point is 01:13:39 I'm not a goddamn word, Scott. I apologize. You're all over the place here. You think I'm a good host? You think I'm a terrible host? Well, yeah, you taught me a lesson. I thought you were a good host, and then I started listening. All right, all right. Anything else to plug or that?
Starting point is 01:13:53 Oh, you know what? If it's not raining, I'm going to go to a comedy show at the Upper Citizen Brigade Theater called Convoy. Oh, yeah, I saw this last month. Yeah, come check that out. We're every month at UCB. Yeah. Now, Dr. Scrumptious, what do you want to plug here?
Starting point is 01:14:09 Well, I love to plug my freaking butt so I don't waste any of this food I'm eating so I can win these contests. So you want to win the contest by plugging up your butthole and it's remained. I would think that you'd want to have all the food out of your body in order to win these contests. Scott, you're a tinkerer too.
Starting point is 01:14:30 That's an efficiency plus one for you. Anything else to plug? Yeah. Other than your butthole. Yeah. There's this comedian named Rekha Shankar who's doing a Kickstarter for a feature film that's going to be up and ready for backers and I think it looks great and it's actually about food, my favorite subject!
Starting point is 01:14:53 Wow! I know Rekha and she was in the Between Two Ferns movie that I did. She's obsessed with movies! What is it with her in movies? That movie? This one? Two? Hey, that's how many contests have won You said two or three
Starting point is 01:15:08 There's two in litigation Where can people go to this Kickstarter? It's on Kickstarter calm Search videos guide to the afterlife or I can literally recite a link right now What about just rake? Oh without with Rekha? Honestly, she looked it up. She's the only person named Rekha on all of Kickstarter. R-E-K-H-A. There are 650,000 projects on that website and there is only one person named Rekha
Starting point is 01:15:37 making something on it. Is that racist of Kickstarter? What do you think? I think so. What do I want to plug? I obviously go over to cbbworld.com and you have the entire archives of Comedy Bang Bang, every episode we've ever done,

Starting point is 01:17:18 So wonderful to have you on the show. Continued success as an author. I would love to see more books coming out of you. Thank you. Maybe not like a detective trying to solve the Jack the Ripper movies. That would tie into your interests, Dr. Scrumptious. That would be great.
Starting point is 01:17:34 That's the British local news. You'll take it away that beat. Oh, okay. So maybe, yeah, maybe you don't want him to do that. I don't know. Maybe I can't. I was born in London. Maybe they'll let me, but I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:17:45 What about? St. John's Wood. Yeah, same. You know it. Oh, same? Oh, right there in the center. The center, the center. So thank you to you, Dr. Scrumptious.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Wonderful to have you here. And then Travis Skin, looks like the rain has gotten heavier since we've started doing the show. Well, I'll just hang out here. You better start complimenting Scott. Yeah, I mean, to be honest, you've been kind of an asshole to me.
Starting point is 01:18:09 He might not want you here. Okay, yeah, I like your jacket. That's not a compliment to me, unless you're complimenting my sense of style. Did you buy that jacket for yourself? Someone else bought it for me. I would say it's the best jumper I've ever seen. All right, you can stay here.
Starting point is 01:18:24 You need to get out immediately. I don't want to die. Sorry, I'm sorry. You gotta leave now. Fine. Fine. Fine? This is on you, Scott Ackerman.
Starting point is 01:18:32 All right, you're leaving right now? Yeah, I'm leaving right now. I'm gonna walk out there into the rain where my body will begin to rot and you'll watch me. And like at the end of last crusade, I'm just going to age rapidly and die. Like that rapidly you think you'll die? Maybe that's what the doctors say. They say if I stop paying them and I get wet,
Starting point is 01:18:47 then that will happen. I kind of want to see this. Do you guys want to see this? Yes. I'm very curious. Okay. Dr. Scrumptious, I only just lovely meeting you. What about me?
Starting point is 01:18:57 No. All right, he's making his way over to the door.
