Welcome to the jungle. We've got vines, leaves, bugs, panthers, monkeys, and lots of other jungle type shit. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Interesting to have two welcomes in one catchphrase. Hey, you sir over there. What did you, you said hmm? Oh yeah, it's, yeah. Who are you, why are you passing through here?

You had a broken window, there was a, I was just fixing your window here. Did you fix it? No, it's actually much, much worse. Okay, all right, sir, we're in the middle of recording a show, do you mind leaving? Yeah, very, very, very sorry. Please no crashing sounds?

If I can help it, but the window, window's gonna window. That's a good point. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition, special Monday show here this week. Thank you to Colfax McLiverneck for that catchphrase submission and catchphrase superstar, of course,

but I don't think it's gonna stick. I think we're gonna have, the hunt continues. We'll keep searching next week. Welcome to the show. We have a great one. My name is Scott Aukerman. A little later, we have a concerned citizen. We also have an impresario are going to be here.

And that will be in B block and C block, but coming up on A block, we have, this is a treat. He's entering the exclusive one-timers club of Comedy Bang Bang. And he hopes he stays there because if you ever do the show again, that means your career has gone down. Once in a way up, once in a way down? Yeah, let me tell you the members of the exclusive one-timer club. Paul Rudd, Ben Stiller, Jason Alexander,

Donald Glover, AKA Childish Gambino. Yeah, let me be in that. Yeah, you want to be in that. The two timers, honestly, you know. Name a two timer. One two timer, let me think. The real, the worst ones are the people who have done it like 15 times, like Tatiana Maslany. Yeah. I mean, she's going nowhere. That's sad. You know what I mean? But he is a stand-up comedian. He's a I'm gonna say raconteur He also is he's dipped his toe into the acting as well. In fact, maybe his whole foot Maybe my whole foot. Yeah, kind of maybe up to the knee. Yeah Yeah

He has a new stand-up special called heckler's Welcome. It's on HBO November 23rd. Please welcome James Acaster. You play the music at the top properly. Thank you. I do. Well, Reggie Watts sings it and then he leaves. So thank you, Reggie, by the way. Thank you.

He's packing up his stuff right now. He did a great job. Yeah, he's amazing. Yeah, because when you do, you have a podcast as well, right? Yeah. And it's called... Oh, this is good, go on.

Chew the Fat, no, that's Armie Hammer's new podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is yours, it's a food podcast. Yeah, Off Menu is cool. Off Menu. We interviewed Reggie on it, we went to his place to interview him and he was asleep. That doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're describing legitimately half the time on my TV show with him. Yeah, yeah, it was fun. His assistant occasionally going upstairs to try and wake him up again and then coming down and coming, yeah, he'll be down in a second. Mainly though, it was on our couch on our show. He just would pass out on the couch and we would have to gently. In fact, I believe the cake that we got him for his final episode, because he left about two thirds of the way through the run, had pictures of him asleep on the goodbye cake.

Him asleep at various places on the set, which is very funny. But what is your podcast about? I know it's about food generally, but what do you guys do? Yeah, we ask people, we get them to build their dream meal. So they're the best ever start a main course dessert, side dish and drink that they've ever had or would dream of having. Would dream of having. And make that, whatever way they want to interpret it and make that their dream meal.

And so this is a lot like your final meal if you were about to be executed. No way. So people are so obsessed with they have to die after the meal and I don't know why. like your final meal if you were about to be executed? No, no. So people are so obsessed with they have to die after the meal and I don't know why. Like it should just be that you enjoy the meal, but everyone's like, and then I die, right? So no, you're not going to die. Could I die after? Good if you wanted to. If that's your dream meal, if your dream meal is you die at the end, we're not going to get in the way of that. But it's very odd that that's a lot

of people's go-to is that that, and then I'm gonna die. Wow. I think that's because they can't really imagine letting themselves do something they would love, especially food-wise. Interesting. If they're not gonna die afterwards. The psychology of people, it's like, hey guys,

we can actually do the things we want and then live afterwards. Yes. And there are no consequences. No one wants that. Are you interested in food? Is that why you did this podcast or did it just seem like an interesting?

Yeah, me and Ed Gamble who host it together, we just like talk about food all the time. And I think that's the way forward, right? You've done what, a million episodes of this? This is- It's gotta be that you like what you're talking about. Otherwise, you're dead meat. I hate it.

Yeah, I know. You did say you hated it when I arrived. I've done 890 of these. I can't stand it anymore. Yeah. Yeah, it must be hard. I talking to people You don't give a shit about what they're talking about. Yeah, like oh, I'm not you. No, no, no, no me. I know not me we're like kind of approaching 300 episodes and Like when you say kind of approaching, we're at 202 right now? I just don't know exactly where we are on the thing, but like I know that we've done 200

and that 300 is the next big one. And like, is it, does it get better, Scott? Oh boy. I mean, the longer you do anything, there are pockets where it's really, really fun and there are pockets where it's kind of a grind, but I'm sure it's like that for you. But did you ever think you would get to almost 300?

No, I legitimately thought we would do 10 and finish and that is a running joke on the podcast that I thought we'll do this for a bit and then people just stop listening to it and then we can stop doing it. It'd be a nice little limited series that we did. I'm now trapped, I can't leave it, it's my main source of income.

Success is a trap. It's embarrassing. Yeah, it is. You speak to other comics and they don't know you do a podcast and they'll say like, oh yeah, we got this TV show, we're shooting it at the minute, it's a grind. But thank God I had to do a podcast, am I right? And I'm like, oh.

Yeah. I guess. It's tough because, yeah, a lot of people look down on the art form. And honestly, I guess. It's tough because yeah, a lot of people look down on the art form and honestly I do too, because like I'll give you the hierarchy of guests on this show. Movie stars, we love them. Those are the people who are mainly in the one-timers club.

They never return. Then I'll take a TV star. TV stars, hey, that's respectable. You know, TV is a lot like movies these days. They're like, it's a little bit shorter, but you can watch them on your TV. I'll take it. Sure.

Then you have authors. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. We'll take an author. A bit dry. And then you have fucking podcasters. Yeah.

And to be honest, you gotta talk to them sometimes. Sometimes the well runs dry when it comes to guests. You gotta talk to a podcaster, but for fuck's sake. I much prefer, now you are a standup comedian with a special, so I view you as a TV star. Yeah, I've made it onto the TV star list. That's good. I feel now if I bump into an offer while I'm in LA, I can feel superior. That's good.

Yes, exactly. But that's great that it's your main source of income. How much money you clear? Oh yeah, that's a good point. I actually would have to check. I'll happily tell you. Would you really? If I can find it on my emails.

Okay, yeah. Probably not as much as you're making. You got a gym in your house. I do have a gym but- Is that public knowledge? But look at my body and you'll see why. Yeah. Now your standup special,

Heckler's Welcome, it's coming out in about a week's time, approximately 10 days or so. I watched it the other day, and it's a very interesting special. It's- Oh no, that's bad. That's a bad- That's bad? That's bad when someone says to you, I watched it the other day, it's very interesting.

Oh no. Yeah. Oh no, dear. What else can I say about it? I watched it. Let me take off the things I thought about it. I watched no, dear. What else can I say about it? Oh, I watched it. Let me take off the things I thought about it. Let's bring the ever-guess on, Scott. I watched it, yeah.

I think you said you had a concerned citizen coming on. I did. Let's hear from those guys. That sounded funny. Can you tell me the general idea of the Earth? I know what it is because I saw it, obviously, but tell our listeners the general concept of the special. Yeah, the audience are allowed to do whatever they like.

I've got a show that I have written, but I've told the audience they can do what they want because for too long, I've been doing standup for 16 years now, I have thrown all my toys out the pram if the audience are not behaving in exactly the way that I would like them to. And I need to stop this behavior.

I wanted to ask you about this because you talk about it a little bit in the special and I think like them to. And I need to stop this behavior. I wanted to ask you about this because you talk about it a little bit in the special and I think it's fascinating. And the audience does, honestly, I bet they did more than you included in the special. Yes. Because you see little clips of other stuff happening sometimes.

Yeah. But you deal with the audience in a really great way. So I was kind of like wondering, how did you used to deal with them? Because you mentioned you've talked to your therapist about this. Oh yeah, yeah. That guy may as well be Mark Maron, my therapist.

There's bass sitting there talking about standard for an hour every single week and dissecting that. But like, yeah. But how did you used to deal with hecklers? You know, we just got off our tour and I do a fair amount of crowd work because I have no material mainly, but it's always interesting to me, like I enjoy it. And it's always interesting to me the, we had great people shouting funny stuff out and stuff for the most part, but then, you know, where it kind of like gets into irritating,

it's always interesting, like, how do you deal with that? And how did you used to deal with it and how did you change? I would deal with it in a pretty like blunt way. I'd try and there'd be a number of techniques. One was just to completely destroy their character, even though I didn't know them. So just dissect everything about them, make them feel like they're the shittiest person

on the entire planet. See if we can get the whole audience behind me. So there'll be audience members who are annoyed at the heckler, so they'll gladly laugh and applaud. And let them heckler. Because you can hear sometimes when someone throws out a clunker, a heckler throws out a clunker, people go,

Yeah, you get the, And they'll be mad. But a lot of times people are throwing out stuff and it's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Or some people, some audience members hate heckles no matter what, even when it's in this show and the audience are allowed to do whatever they like,

I would still get, I did Copenhagen and a guy was heckling and the whole audience was like, shut the fuck up, like hated this guy and was shushing him and shouting at him. Same in Montreal actually, the heckler in question wrote a letter of complaint to me afterwards. Really? Because too many people were yelling at him?

Because of how much everyone else hated her. I was very nice to her. Everyone else would tell her to shut up as she complained to me. So originally you, because I think the instinct when you're starting out especially is to be like, shut up, shut up, I'm trying to do my thing. Yeah, yeah.

And getting mad at the person. Yeah. But I found just being in the moment is so fun and engaging for a little bit. Oh, no, you're right, Scott. You're right, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have a certain amount of leeway you give them and then there are ways to end that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you had to change this. Yes, I had to change it. And I knew it wasn't right, by the way. I wasn't coming off stage. There's a lot of comics, especially the really edgy comics. They'll destroy someone and they'll come off and be like and that's comedy and if you can't take it then stay at home and I would come off and I'd be like I can't believe I

did that and like what is my problem I was so scared up there that if they shout at me you know you just kill them and then I'll be okay and then like then I'll be like even if even when that works you're like well that's not the comedian I want to be so now everyone even when that works You're like well, that's not the comedian I want to be so now everyone who enjoyed that is gonna come back to see that guy and I don't want them to see that guy I want him to see what I want to do so I had to just be like Many times over the years I tried to combat it and sort it out But the audience didn't know I was trying to do it. So fucking no one's gonna bring me up

But it put me up on that shit. So if someone heckles and I was feeling vulnerable again, I'd do that. So I was like, I'm gonna have to tell them. I'm gonna have to tell them this is what we're trying to do and this is what we're working towards. And it was sort of like immersion therapy where it was just like, you did this as a tour, right? Yeah, I taught it for two years. Two years where you basically told everyone,

do whatever you want during the show. How was it for you mentally and? So much better. Was it really? So much better. What were the techniques you used in order to, because I'll tell you one of my favorite ones that you did in the special was, I won't give away what they say,

but someone in the crowd shouts out something very funny. Yes. And you compliment them and you talk about how funny it was. And then someone else shouts out like a callback to what they said and it's not funny and instead of destroying them you then turn to the first guy and talk about start complimenting him again saying isn't that interesting isn't that great like you've already influenced other people yeah in your style is so revolutionary that you've already like got

followers trying to it was so interesting to me. I was like, that's such a great way to do it. Don't make this person feel bad, but compliment the first person. And learning that the audience already know... But anything negative you want to say about the heckler, the audience have already picked up on it. The quality of their heckle, everyone knows it. So you know that heckle wasn't funny.

I didn't have to say to the guy, oh, that first guy was funny. You're not funny. You should shut up, especially because he was a nice man. Right. So like, it was trying to do that. It's trying to like, be more positive. You know, I'm not, I've not done improv or anything like that. I've been in like improv groups, but like just obviously, because I'm adjacent to that

with stand up, know the basic rules of it, you get told about, yes, and then you're like, well, why, why don't I do that with hecklers? Rather than just be like blocking it all the time and creating that negative atmosphere. Was it difficult for you when you started the tour then to, did you find yourself keep going back to old instincts or? There was never a point, I don't think there was one time where I nearly went back to it. I never did and I was really happy with that, that at the end I never did it, but there was one guy at a gig in London who did an impression of me and I did not like the impression.

I had to instead be like, hey, that was great. That really sounds like me. You got a real talent. In my head thinking I'm fucking hope that guy dies. I hate that guy. And he loved it so much. He did a video. It turned out he was quite big on TikTok, this guy. So then he- Doing an impression of you? No, like other stuff and talking about stuff. But he went to do a, like, I went to this show last night. I did this thing. James A. Castor loved my impression, said it was so good. And then like some like local like articles about it online about this guy's impression of James A. Castor is so good. Even James A. Castor loves it. I'm having to watch this unravel going like, I hate this guy and I hated his impression.

Have you talked about this publicly? But no, this is the first time. So if he hears this, this is gonna be pretty bad for him. Sorry, buddy. As far as I'm concerned, the special's out now. You know, the amnesty's up. I can tell him that I thought this was pretty bad. So in the special, of course, Heckler's Welcome coming out November 23rd,

there's a fair amount of material. It seems like almost half and half in a way, where there's material, but then people shouting stuff out. Did anyone do more than just shouting stuff out? Did anyone try to come on stage or anything like that? Not at the gig. On the tour, there was a few times that happened. And then the line of your rules for the show

and the venue's rules kind of like differ there. So the venue are like, don't go on stage, don't throw stuff at the stage, don't put stuff on the stage. But I wouldn't say that in my opening bit So occasionally through the tour like in New York at the beacon When I was doing the show and somebody was dressed they had come dressed as a robot They had made like a cardboard robot outfit and they were

Very like skipping towards the stage stage I'd say with a paper airplane in their hands or a cardboard airplane I've made it from a pizza box and they threw it towards me and the security guard blocked it with his hand and then escorted them out of the venue and they got ejected which was not my rules I hadn't thought about what the venue's rules were. Oh, yeah. And this girl dressed as a robot is pleading as she goes out. It was okay. He said it was okay. It's five minutes into the show.

Oh, no. That poor young book. Especially with something like that, yeah, exactly. You're very right. She's gone to a lot of trouble to do this, thinking it'll be fun. She's thought about it in advance. She's clearly a fan. She's not doing it to be a jerk.

And she's gone. And every now and again during that show, I'd remember her and I'd say to myself, I feel really bad for her, but I would be laughing at the same time. It was so sad and it was funny. So there's a few times that would happen. And then when you tape the special, you intercut a few things,

but one of the things there's like a mascot running around, was that, and we never hear from them, it's just you see footage of it. Is that someone that you had or someone came to the gig dressed as like a mascot running around. Was that, and we never hear from them, it's just you see footage of it. Is that someone that you had or someone came to the gig dressed as like a- That's what I had, so that is the Party Gator. It's a full, for the listeners, it's a fluorescent alligator with a pink top hat on.

And like, it was a toy that I had as a kid. I did a music project that revolved around it and I got this outfit, this mascot outfit professionally made for the music videos And then we were gonna film the special I knew I wanted stuff to cut away to because I knew we were gonna film for three hours uninterrupted It was three hours. Yes, the one that's not you two shows Yeah, okay, so I did three hours one night and then three hours the next oh, oh so three. Yeah full three hours show

Yeah Wow and it didn't give them an interval because I wanted them to definitely heckle because I knew that the show was best when they heckle. Right. So I was like, I'm gonna just push all their buttons, you know, secretly as much as I can. So giving them no break. Wow. But I knew that to, you know, get it down to what the length I wanted, I'd have to do stuff that would I'd have to cut it up in a way that would look weird and erratic if we didn't have little cut away shots. So did me playing the drums. Yeah, there's a lot of you playing the drums before the show, but it also looks like people are filing in, you're playing when they walked in.

As they were walking in again to wind them up. So like you're just playing drums as much as possible as they're walking in, just to get them a little bit more amped up for the show, so they're not docile. And then you're also doing yoga at point-of-point? I do yoga, that was before they came in. Before they came in. Yeah, I did yoga on stage before they came in.

And you filmed yourself, and so there's a lot of times you'll be watching you talk to a person and then there's just a shot of you doing yoga over it. And yeah, and then I wanted to do this thing with the party gator and have him come out at the very end. There's my friend Jake from back home who I grew up with, who I've known for ages, and just come on and just be really disruptive as much as possible and have the audience respond however they want you to do to that. So everyone's applauding it, but you can see one guy in the background is folding his arms

and shaking his head to show that he doesn't agree with the party gator's behavior. He wanted to see a proper gig, but you're doing three hours. Like that's the thing too is like, you know, normally a standup does one hour. So I would say like the extra two hours of people shouting at you are bonus content, you know, normally a standup does one hour. So I would say like the extra two hours of people shouting at you are bonus content, you know. Oh yeah, we've got a whole hour of heckles that we're gonna put out at some point. Oh really?

It's just like, yeah, no material and just all the heckles that we couldn't include in the show. Now you also, it's, I did wanna ask if you did two shows because the show starts with your mic being broken for the first 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, it's broke. And I was like, didn't he film two nights? Couldn't he use the other night? But you decided

to use the night where the mic was broken. Yeah, it ended up being great. I like it. So it broke on the first night. So the second night we were prepared for it and it worked. But again, like, because we knew the show works best if I am responding to hecklers in a way that isn't shitty, but also responding to the gig not being exactly how I want it to be without being shitty. Are you a controlling person in general? Not in general, not in my life or with other people. I want to make that very clear. But like, when I'm making something- Because I feel like you've hypnotized me

this entire time. Well, I'll do anything you want. I have hypnotized you, that gym's mine. But like, yeah, I definitely with my standup for years, I was like, this is exactly, once I got it the way I wanted it, I wanna do the best version of that show for them every single night. Not really seeing that, if they do heckle,

the best version is to respond well to that and not to throw everything in the bin. Did you start as a writer? Cause sometimes that's a writer who does stand up there. No, I was a drummer in bands with friends and I did that instead of going to university. And then like when that like dried up, panicked and went into stand up. So like, yeah, I mean, the whole thing, I felt a little bit like I'm making it up as I go along and learning how I'm doing it. So now we're on the other side of this experiment for you.

Do you feel changed as a comedian? Do you feel like this is something that you will you know, not officially of hey This is the tour where you can do anything you want but is or do you feel like this is something you'll incorporate into your future? Yeah, I think definitely I'll maintain that attitude and I do I genuinely by the end of that tour actually even halfway through the tour Whenever anyone heckled or whenever they were really quiet that but that would be what I'd actually struggled with the most on previous tours It was even more embarrassing than responding badly to hecklers It's going like why aren't you laughing enough at me? What the fuck is the matter with you? So really undignified stuff on stage

Even halfway through this tour. I was like, oh, I'm not even thinking that anymore Yeah, that's not even when they're doing it to begin with I, I was like, oh, I'm not even thinking that anymore. Like that's not even, when they're doing it, to begin with, I had to be like, okay, you feel annoyed, but don't behave like that because you've made this contract with them. But by the halfway mark, I was noticing, I was coming off and going, I said to my tour manager, oh, that was a really quiet one tonight.

And then realized, oh, I hadn't even thought on stage, like these fucking pricks, why they come to see me. Yeah, I kind of feel like a lot of times you can go into standup thinking it's a performance and instead it's more of a conversation between you and the audience. Like the audience is kind of giving you the other half of the conversation, meaning the laughs. Yeah.

And then you just sort of adjust your conversation to whatever they're giving you, you know, so like if you can get into that mindset when you're out there of just like not, oh no, that didn't go well or, oh no, at this point in the show, I'm riding the crest of laughter and I go right in it, but it's just more like, oh, how do I just then? Yeah. I should have brought you on tour with me, Scott. You would have been a good guru actually. I would have been a lot more helpful for me. Yeah. Yeah.

You're on the floor? You're exactly right. Well, the special is Heckler's Welcome. It's on HBO November 23rd. It's very unique, very funny. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we have an impresario and a concerned citizen. Have you ever talked to either of those people? Not at the same time. Whoa, okay. We'll try to get them on simultaneously, if not sequentially, but we'll be right back. We're gonna have more James A. Caster, more Comedy Bang Bang, we'll be right back after this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, HBD, man? I'd love you. I want my guests to bring drugs. Yeah.

Anytime they're here. You don't you're not carrying are you? No way. A long flight from England. No way. I would never do that. Yeah, no, you'd get it while you're here, right? Yeah, you get this is the place to do it's legal. Over at Reggie Watson's house. Yeah, I'm going to Reggie's house. He's asleep. Reach under his pillow. So many drugs. It's a reverse tooth fairy. Yeah, yeah. He leaves the money for him to buy more drugs. HBO November 23rd, hecklers welcome. We have to get to our next guest.

She's an impresario. We spoke to her in Tarrytown. We just played Tarrytown New York not too long ago. And please welcome back to the show Mrs. Lindhurst. Yes, hello Scott. Hello. It's so good to see you. So nice to talk to two English people.

I can't quite tell. What are you? I'm American, I'm old money. Oh, you're old money American. Old American money Scott. Got it. Yes. I hear the accent now.

Can you hear it? Oh, I mean, I definitely sound almost British, very upscale, smart, expensive. It's a new American standard, yeah. Every British person I meet, I think, wow, this is class. Yeah. You know, do you have the same thing? Yeah, yeah, everyone, I'm American, I have money too.

Yeah. And yeah, whenever I meet an English person, I just think this is class. It must be so nice to live in England and just meet a classy person everywhere you go. Oh, I love it. Classy everywhere, everywhere you go. Class, class, class.

Yes, so much class. Now explain to James, you and I just spoke maybe a month or so ago. We're close friends, yeah. I don't know that I would go that far. I met you once and we didn't speak after the show. Best friends, really. But explain to James exactly who you are, what you do.

Yes, I run the Linhurst Mansion in Terrytown, New York. And we do sort of a dinner theater there. Very fun, very spooky. Have you been to Terrytown at all? I've never heard of Terrytown. I'm sorry, but I've never heard of Terrytown. Have you heard of the legend of Sleepy Hollow? Oh yeah.

That's where it is. Really? Look like it's in New York. Yes, it is in Tarrytown, New York. Old money New York. That's why it doesn't look like New York, it's old money. Yeah, so you have this mansion there. Beautiful, enormous mansion, first swimming pool.

In America or ever? Yes, ever. I was born in the swimming pool the very in America or ever yes ever ever I was born in the swimming pool scar were you yeah, was that an accident or was that my mother had no idea She was pregnant win off the diving board dove in and I popped on up So where you did was she midway through the air when you popped out? Yeah, so you I landed on the diving board Yes, I hit the diving board first and then I plopped on in. So it was a double dive. Oh yeah.

I got pulled in by the umbilical cord. Amazing. Yes. And now hopefully you're no longer attached to the umbilical cord. No, but we left it. All the money, we leave it in for a while. In the pool?

No, just the umbilical cord. You want to stay attached for a while while the mom is in bed and the baby in the carriage. And then eventually it disintegrates. How nice. Isn't that beautiful? I think eventually everything disintegrates, don't you think?

Yeah, I think over time, everything will disintegrate. Yeah, it's nice to think about. Yeah, I don't know if it's nice to think about it, Scott, but like it is important to think about it. It is. And I think I'm feeling the cause. So why are we recycling stuff? Yeah.

Like why bother? Waste of time. It's a waste of time. Yeah, it'll disintegrate eventually. The whole thing is a waste of time. And for the listener we are only a few days into Trump's presidency and Scott has adopted his viewpoints. Oh, yes.

Me and Scott, we're at... Got to get on board early. We're at the Trump rally, Scott and I. Yes, old money, Scott. Old money, of course. You're newer money, but it's okay. I, old money, Scott, yes. Old money, of course. You're newer money, but it's okay. I'm podcast money, which seems even worse than new money. And so you have this interactive theater there

at the Lindhurst mansion. Oh, yeah, you were there, Scott. And I was there, we talked about it when you were on the show, the live Terry Tome show. We play a game. We couldn't get the rights to the game Cluedo. Or Cluedo as they say in English. Sorry, to make sure that you know what we're talking about.

Yeah, class. I learned that. Why do they call it Cluedo, by the way? It makes no sense. Oh, it's because our board is made of dough. It's like a, so the whole thing is baked. So it's like a flatbread. Yeah, it was like the people who made

the Great British Baking Show originally created Cluedo, this board game. So this was- Wow, they created two hits, right out of the box. Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, they put this together. Yeah, it was their idea, the two of them. And they were obsessed with murders before.

You watch this guy, Paul Hollywood, and you think like he's gotta be American, and then it turns out he's English. What's going on with this guy? He's been very sneaky there, and we, and you think, like, he's gotta be American, and then it turns out he's English? What's going on with this guy? He's been very sneaky there, and we don't actually know, often, like, customs are on him

when he tries to get into the country. I get the sense that, like, all these British shows that we find very charming, everyone hates them in England. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you like them? Oh, no, everyone hates Great British, I mean, we've got Great British Bake Off,

that's how much we don't like it. You know, we refuse to call it a show like you guys do. I have a question. Who do you think would win in a fight? Tom Kalikio or Paul Hollywood? Kalikio, I mean, that first season of Top Chef, when he kicked off that first guy for sassing off. Oh, yeah.

He's a brawler. Yeah. What kind of hat was he wearing? Probably a fedora. Yes. I think he would win. Yeah. I think Tom Kalik Yes, I think he would win. I think Tom Gallagher, no offense of course.

No offense to your country. No offense to your country. No, no, no, it's fine. Paul Hollywood, many people would like to see him get him beaten up and he knows that. He knows that. If you ever see him on the street, a lot like Houdini, punch him in the stomach.

Yeah, yeah. That's his weak spot, yes. Now Houdini famously said he could contract his muscles so that it wouldn't hurt him, but someone did it on the street without him, without warning him. That's how he died. Wow, yes. Now I know the story, but thank you for telling me. Yes.

I'm not mansplaining Houdini to you, am I? No, no. None trumps America, never. Imagine being the guy who punched him. I know. It's like your girl in the robot thing going, he said to. Do you think you'd let a fan punch you in the tummy? Was that against the rules?

Yes, violence was against the rules, but I've been pushed over before on stage and it wasn't very nice. So maybe, but maybe I'd take a shot to the tummy. I was doing a show in Utah recently and we were playing musical chairs and this guest that I couldn't stand who was on the show, I think it was Sabrina Carpenter, this little tiny girl. She pushed me over to get the final chair. And she won, didn't she?

She beat the shit out of you. Yes, she did. Anyway, so you do this interactive show which has all these different kind of murder rooms. Different rooms, different characters, of course, different weapons. Like for example, I always play Mrs. Cockpiss. Remember, Scott?

Mrs. Cockpiss, yes. Yes, a terrible widow whose husband died in a mysterious accident. He was poisoned, you see, but you never knew, you never knew how. You never knew. By what do you mean, like through poison? You never knew how he died. Like he had some poison.

You never figured it out. He was poisoned, he just ate poison. You never knew how he died. All right, all right. It's a mystery you see. Then of course there's Colonel Ketchup. Colonel Ketchup, right. He is a very alpha you see. Then of course there's Colonel Ketchup. Colonel Ketchup, right. Yes, a very alpha masculine man. You would not allow to play him.

So we've gone from Mrs. Cockpiss to Colonel Ketchup. Yes. Seems like this joke is not escalating. What are you talking about? It's de-escalation in comedy. This is of course, who else is there? Mrs. Cream, remember? Cream?

Yes. Okay. Filthy whore, dirty slut, keeping hold of a woman. Okay. You remember her? I mean, I went through the, this is about a month or so ago. I've had so many more experiences.

You played the game, you were wonderful, Scott. Thank you, yes. It was a lot of fun. It was so fun. You know who we played? Out of the three you've just said, or was there another character? There was another one, yes.

Remember Scott? I do, I mean, I was assigned this role. Professor? Professor? I don't recall the exact name. Professor Cum. Professor Cum, yeah. A silly man who sucks his own cock.

I didn't, look, I was assigned the role. Don't you remember? I was assigned the role. Don't you remember? You wanted to play it. First, you wanted to play the big alpha man, Colonel Gettup. I said, no, no, no. Then you wanted to play the Canadian Mr. Boutine. I said, no, no, no, no, no. And then I said, what about this one for you, Scott? You said, oh, please, can I play it? I want to suck my own dick. I mean, it was the only role left, to be fair.

Right, when Mrs. Garlic, the stinky old hag, was taken, of course, as a weirdo. But we had a great time that night. I mainly just sat in the corner doing my thing. You were crucial to the plot, sucking your own dick. That was you, Scott. Do you remember? I mean, I vaguely recall the details. Fantastic. One of the best I've ever seen. I mean, I appreciate that.

You should have seen him. He doesn't look flexible, but he must work out in his gym because he had his head fully on his own dick. Do you remember, Scott? That's very impressive, Scott. Yeah, I mean, it's especially hard when you have a micro penis like I do.

It's hard to get all the way down there. He had the balls in his mouth as well. I was touching his own asshole. It was incredible. I mean, it was a night. It was an interesting night. He was walking around with his head on his dick. In any case, that was then...

Did you see the substance? I have not seen the substance yet. You looked like the woman at the end of the substance. I'll take that as a compliment. I see why you think English people are class now. Yeah. Makes sense. We're old money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very classy for America right now, what we're talking about, of course. So now, what are you up to now at the Lindhurst mansion? Are you still there? Yes, of course. I mean, you own? Yes, of course. I mean, you own the place, of course.

No, I own the place. I'll die there. I'm going to die in that swimming pool with my friend. Not if you die while you're here in LA. Now, what does that mean? You're going to kill me? I'm just saying it could happen anywhere. The way to ensure you die in your own house

is never to leave. That's so beautiful when he talks like this. Isn't it nice? Or if you get hit by a bus close by, go, take me back, take me back. I know I'm gonna die, take me back to my place. My last request. That's insane.

You don't wanna go to the hospital. No, take me back just in case. Please take me home. Just in case, bring the doctors to me. Take me to my heart tub, I wanna die in my heart tub. Yes. Please, I want a cold plunge one last time. Do you cold plunge? Yes.

It's so strange that that has become a thing. Isn't it great? Every morning you wake up and you freeze the fucking shit out of your body. It's like every year people come out and say like, hey, you know this wildly unpleasant thing? It's good for you. And then they make you do it and everyone like in the wellness sphere. Yeah, the wellness sphere. They like it too when you go outside

and you put your feet into the grass every day. That doesn't sound bad. Raw dog, the grass with your feet. I usually wear a condom on my foot before I. So what are you up to now? What's going on at the Lindhurst Mansion? Well, you know, obviously the holidays are coming up. Do you celebrate them in England?

Thanksgiving, you must! Oh, you have to. Yeah, we celebrate Thanksgiving. We're on your side. I mean, honestly, must have been nice to get us out of the country. Some of these holidays, by the way, I think they're so nice. Just start having them. You know what I mean? Like Thanksgiving, it's like, it's such a nice holiday. Yeah. Did you guys have Halloween or did we take it from you?

We have it. We've never done it to the degree that you did it in the 70s and 80s. Where there were chips episodes about it? Yeah. We know what you guys did. We saw, yeah, we would watch like, you know, sitcoms and TV shows where there'd always be a Halloween episode Yeah, but then it did for a while in England That was weird adopt only really the rough kids to be doing it and there'd be not very nice to the people who wouldn't open Their doors. It wasn't really like what happens here. Yeah, it seems like everyone's so reserved It would be like knocking on a door. Yeah.

It would be something that English people wouldn't want to do. Well, they'd be fine knocking on the door. The kids who were fine knocking on the door were the kids who wanted to rob the house or do something bad. And no one would open the door, be scared of the kids. And then the kids would trash the house from the outside. And that was every Halloween. Yeah.

Now, we've just about got to the point where the parents are taking the kids door to door and getting candy. But like we call them sweets. I say another 200 years you'll get there. Yeah, it's really wonderful. What kind of candy do they give out? Spotted dick or whatever? Yeah, yeah. Spotted dick, a lumpy butt and a rashy vagina.

Sounds absolutely fantastic over there, doesn't it? Well, Mrs. Lindhurst, I repeat, what's going on at the Lindhurst mansion? Well, you won't let me get to it, Jesus Christ. Every time I try to speak, we're talking about fucking Halloween. You say the holidays are coming up? Yes. So obviously, we have some new rooms, Scott. Oh, really?

New rooms and new weapons. Are you converting some rooms into these? Because... Yes. Okay. Oh, really? New rooms and new weapons. Are you converting some rooms into these? Because- Yes. Okay. So we've converted, for example, the hot yoga room. Now it's a basic economy room, Scott. Basic economy?

Yes. What does that mean? Well, think about it, in the holidays, you always take a flight, don't you? Sure. To go home. If you're lucky. And you're most likely flying, not first, not premiere,

not even economy, but basic economy. Basic, that's even worse than economy? Oh yes, you never flown it I see. I mean we did fly Spirit Airlines in the middle of the tour and that felt like it. Yeah, what's that terrible British line? We also flew, people flew that as well didn't they? Yeah, terrible British line.

Yeah, what was it? What was that? I can't recall,? Yeah. It's a more British line. Yeah, what was it? What was that? I can't recall, but yeah. What was it? It's the British spirit. Something like that. Yeah, so basic economy is basically, do you get seat belts? Yes, you go, you don't get a bag, but you have to pay for a bag.

So you have to check your bag, but you have to pay for a carry-on. You come on, and you get no tray table, no leg room, no window, no nothing, and you're seated next to 45 other people in one row. Yeah. It's beautiful. That sounds bad. That's one of our rooms. Really?

Yes. So you enter the room, you sit down next to 45 other people. Stuffed in there. And so many people. Someone died there recently. Mrs. Cunt died there. Oh, no. Yes.

She was killed with a Gua Sha. Oh, no. What with a Gua Sha. Oh no, what's a Gua Sha? You don't know what a Gua Sha is? I guess I, James, do you know what a Gua Sha is? Yeah, I know what one is, but just in case I don't. Yeah, cool. We should get a definition from you.

For the listener. Yeah. For the common listener who, they're just common people out there who work with their hands, love what they do. The no money crowd, sure. Yeah, podcast host, of course we know what a Gua Sha is. You know what a Gua Sha is.

Well, you know what lymphatic drainage is, don't you? Yeah. It's big in the wellness community. You drain all your lymph nodes. How does one do that? With a Gua Sha. Oh. It's like a little quartz or something like that,

like a little rock essentially that you scrape your face and you scrape your neck with. Oh, God. Move it around. So Mrs. Cunt was killed with one of them. No! Yes, she was killed in the basic economy room. Oh, and wait, as part of the show or this is a...

Someone drained her too hard. Or this is something that actually happened. Yes, this is something that actually happened. Oh, no. Well, all of them were murders actually happened. Yes, this is something that actually happened. Oh no. Well, all of our murders, unfortunately, most of them turn out to be real. Really?

Yeah. Okay, I didn't get that sense when I was there. No. Really? You were the only one who was ever so happy. You were too busy notching yourself off. You wouldn't know what was going on. Yeah.

So were you hoping I sucked my dick to death? You're lucky you were sucking your own dick. That's the only reason you survived. You didn't notice all the murders that were happening. I thought they were just actors, those, all the people. No, Scott, they're real murders. It's been treacherous, absolutely crazy. So you run-

A lot like my favorite naughty by nature front man. What? Nevermind. Oh. Judging by the groan I heard, it seems like there was a really brutal rev... So obviously then we have the Thanksgiving Day Parade Room. Thanksgiving Day Parade Room. Now James, you may not know about this parade, but it happens every year.

Macy's usually hosting. You would love it, yes. Has a lot of balloons of cartoon characters. They parade down the New York City Main Street. Does England have Snoopy? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got big into Snoopy. You got big into Snoopy, really? What do you guys love about Snoopy?

Just general attitude, the fact he doesn't give a fuck and like doesn't take any shit from people. Yeah. We really respect that. He sleeps on top of a house. Yeah, yeah, he sleeps on top of a house. On his back, dick in the air. Yeah, looks uncomfortable to me. So proud. You know what I mean? I'm always like, get into the house. Yeah, you sleep on top of a house, but on his back, dick in the air. Yeah, looks uncomfortable to me.

So proud. You know what I mean? I'm always like, get into the house. They built the house for you. Yeah. Are you sleeping on top? I thought you were gonna say because his dick was in the air.

You sleep with your dick in your mouth. All right, this is a linguist. He sleeps like that. Yeah. I had to during the show. Yeah. It was a long show, it was like nine, 10 hours. 10 hours, yes.

Yeah. It was too long, I thought. Really? No, it's an interactive experience, like sleep no more, and you all. I know, but sleep no more is like over in two hours. It was 10 hours long. Yes.

Were you hard for the whole time? Yes, he was. He was absolutely wrong. That was the most difficult part. But you kept feeding me with pornography, which was nice. Yeah, well I had to do something to keep you going. I was worried about you. To the point where I was like, you have a lot of pornography in this house.

Yes, well we have one of those big screen TVs that normally is a fireplace, and we would turn it into pornography when we know someone like Scott is coming over. So what is in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade room? Yes. So imagine you walk into the room and it looks like New York City. But then- A city that never goes to bed. Never goes to sleep.

You see Carrie Bradshaw on her laptop. You see a man whose pissed his pants and is laying in a bunch of trash over here. From everything from Carrie Bradshaw to a man who pissed his pants That's New York, baby. That's New York And then you hear Al Roker on the microphone and Hoda saying that you look like a blimp and they talk about how blimpy You are wait, they're insulting us saying we're fat. You're in the parade. You're a blimp You know having watched this, I know James, you don't get it over there across the pond,

but we're talking to, of course, about Al Roker and Hoda Kotb, the soon to be retiree. Oh, it's so sad, isn't it Scott? You're crying. And these are the real Hoda and real Al Roker come do this with you? They come, they come for a couple hours, 10 or 12, and we do the room. Wow. But it's such a, I mean, the room, we just had a couple hours, 10 or 12, and we do the room.

Wow. But it's such a, I mean, the room, we just had a horrible murder there, Scar. Oh no. Yes, in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was unfortunately Mr. Poutine, and he died. No, I really bonded with him. I know, he was killed with a Tide Pod.

A Tide Pod? Yes. Did he swallow it himself, or? He swallowed it whole. Wow. He's shit. He Tide Pod? Yes. Did he swallow it himself or? He swallowed it whole. Wow. He shit. He what? He shit.

He shit? Yes, until he died. Until he died. That's, I mean, that's too long to shit. Wait. Until you die? Was it, was it, was it a long shit and then he died or was it a short shit and then he died?

It was a short shit. Oh, it was a short shit. But it was a big shit and he died. So like he shit for three seconds and then died? Yes. Doesn't seem like that should kill you. It shouldn't kill you, but if it's as much shit as you're saying, I guess that is concerning.

Yes. Yeah. Yes, it was terrible, absolutely filthy. We had to clean it all up. Yeah. Yes. Well, I'm glad you cleaned it up and instead of just turning it into the shit room. Right, well, you know that that room used to be the 9-11 Memorial Room. Oh, right. Yes, of course.

Yes, it was already a bit of a mess. Yeah. And then what was the one room that we had? It was the Family Guy room? There's the Family Guy room, yes. Which is obsessed. We were obsessed with Brian. He's so funny. A talking dog. Isn't that hilarious? I mean, it's out of the ordinary. I'll say that much.

But we changed that room scarf. No! I know! We had to keep it fresh, keep things going. What is it now? The Jay Leno room scarf. Really? Yes, it's a bunch of pictures of Jay Leno

just looking absolutely incredible for his age. If his age is 120. Wes, do you have a Jay Leno out there in England? Do you know who this person is? We know Jay Leno, yeah, yeah. We really respect him. We were on his side against Conan. Oh, good.

We're glad he killed him. Someone had to be, you know what I mean. Yes, but we had a terrible murder recently though, Scott. Hopefully not Jay. No, not Jay. Jay's alive and well. Oh, thank God. He flies in to do it. Wait, he's there in the room? Yes.

Okay, when you said it was a tribute room, I didn't know he was actually there shaking hands. Of course he's there. Yes. Full denim outfit, everything. Talking about his years doing parts on Last Man Standing. Yeah, showing us his bank book where he's never touched his Tonight Show money. Yes, yes. Do you think he has denim underwear? I do, yes, I know he does, yes, absolutely. Can people punch him in the tummy?

This is such a good question. I'd say no, too old. Too old, yeah, there's a cutoff. There is a cutoff for the tummy punch. Like Houdini, he was probably 38 maybe, which, you know, people only lived to like 39 back then. Sure. So it wasn't really a great tragedy when Houdini died. 38, no. He's a baby, he's an infant.

Yeah. Well, I'm saying he was old for... So we're not agreeing right now? Yes, no, we agree. He was a baby. Okay, interesting. Well, a great room. We have the Reba Room. The Reba Room. This is Reba McEntire's name.

Yes, Reba. Did you see her fun tweet about her hair? Yeah, on election day. On election day. Yep. Yes, and we celebrate that. Do you know Reba? I know her from the Lonely Island song on SNL

when Kiedon Thompson finds a wig in a dumpster and pretends to be her fucksandy-samper. That's about all you need to know about her. Of course, that's all you need to know. Yeah. That's the biggest thing she's done. That's genuinely all I know about Reba. So I don't really know anything outside of that.

She sings that song. It's a working mom who works two jobs and loves a kid and never stops. She sings that song? I have the tiger. I have the tiger? Reba, that's a good song? I have the tiger. I have the tiger. Yeah. I have the tiger.

Reba McAddy singing I have the tiger. Razzamap. So that sounds like an incredible room. What happens in the Reba room? Well, we had a murder there recently. Oh no. Yes. Not Jay Leno.

No, not Jay Leno, no. No, it Jay Leno. No, not Jay Leno, no. Oh thank God. No, it was Mrs. Cream, yes. Oh, Mrs. Cream. She was killed by the Yankee candle. No. No. What's the Yankee candle again? I've heard about this.

The Yankee candle, it smells like absolute shitty pumpkin spice, pumpkin spice diaper. She died from the smell. No. Yes. It smells like absolute shitty pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice diaper. She died from the smell. No. Yes. Can you believe it? Why does anyone come to your place? It seems like the mortality rate is very high. Because it's fun.

It is fun. Wouldn't you want- I get a test of that. Wouldn't you want to die like this? You know how they do cruise ships where people go and they die, they call them the morgue? Yeah. Yeah. This is like that. Wait, when you say that,

what do you, I mean I've heard of cruise ships where people like jump off accidentally. No, these are the cruise ships that often go, they like to go up to Alaska and people, older people, because it's cheaper than doing hospital care or something like that. It is. So they go and they live on the ship and then they die there, Scott. So how interesting, and they choose to die there. Yeah, they choose to die there. They know that, so it's cheaper than hospice.

Yes, it's nicknamed the morgue. You get to see Alaska. Isn't that nice? Isn't that how you wanna go? That's so nice. Looking at Alaska, waving at Sarah Bailen. That'd be hard for you, Scott, if you died on a cruise ship and you'd be trying to get it to take you home

so you can die at home. Yeah, please just, you turned this ship around. I need to get back to Hollywood. Please, please, it's faster than you can. Oh yes, Scott, please, I want you to die at my castle. I'd love to, doing what I love. Doing what you love, sucking your own dick, ideally in the X room, Scott. Oh, you have an X room now. Yes, with the X room. Is this based on

the anything app? Yes. In this one we play videos of Elon Musk jumping up and doing his cool X. That's so cool. You know that's why he does it. Yes, I have heard that. Yes, and we had a terrible murder there recently. Oh, hopefully not Elon. No, it wasn't Elon. Of course not. He's going to live to be 900 million. Thank God.

No, but Mrs. What's-a-face. Oh, might she rest in peace. Yes, Mrs. What's-a-face. No. She was killed, yes. Killed, how? By the Imagine COVID video. Oh no.

Yes, you remember it. Yeah, when all the celebrities sang Imagine, Gal Gadot. Oh yes, I did. What are you doing, Scott? No, I was not asked. To be honest, it came out and for one second, I was a little jealous. Were you?

And then I watched the video. Sing it for me, Scott. I wanna hear you sing it. Imagine all the people. That's the other thing, like, they should've picked a key and stuck with that one. A working mom who works two jobs, who loves the kids and never stops.

The Eye of the Tiger. It's the Eye of the Tiger. It's the thrill of the fight. I can't tell when you're singing Eye of the tiger if you're singing the song I have the tiger or if you're singing that Song but it also says I have the tiger edit the melody that you do. Yeah. Yeah I got the eye of the tiger. Does that song have the lyric? I have the time by Katy Perry or whatever Yes, I don't know The melody that you're assigning to it. It's the eye of the tiger

Yeah It still sounds like both songs. I enjoyed it every time it doesn't help but I really enjoy it Yeah, Scott. I want you to come back to the mansion. I have to get back there You we have to have you back. It was so fun. You were so good at what you did. I, when I get an acting challenge, I commit. 110%. And you know, you helped me clean everything up. When obviously remember we had to send you to the hospital

because you shit your pants. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah. But I felt a responsibility. I had to come back, help you out. I do have a new part for you, Losecar. Okay, a new part. A new part. Oh had to come back, help you out. I do have a new part for you, Losecon. Okay, a new part. A new part. Oh, this is exciting, boy.

Santa Claus. The old fat man from the North Pole? No, a dog who eats its own shit. Oh. It's less good, but I'll take it. I could use the work. We would love to have him. After the strikes, there's nothing going on over here.

Really, nothing? Nothing. Not even a peep? Not even a peep. All through the house. Not a creature was stirring. Not even the mouse. Not even my computer mouse. Oh!

I can't write scripts anymore because no one's buying them. See, this is why he should be doing well in Hollywood. I don't understand why he's not. Yeah, that and my treacherous joke? About Naughty by Nature? I forgot about that one and it was nice when I had forgotten about it. Sorry. Well, look, Mrs. Lindhurst, I got to get back to the mansion.

Oh, you got to come back. Before then, I have to get to a break. Okay, I understand. So we're going to take a break. When we come back, we have a concerned citizen. Who? Who? Or were you just saying who?

Oh, I see. It was an exhalation. Sounds so good. I hope he's old money. We'll find out. I don't believe he is. We've found out. Ooh, oh, I see, it was an escalation. Sounds so good. I hope he's old money. I hope, we'll find out. I don't believe he is.

We've talked to him on the show before, but we're gonna come right back. We're gonna have more Mrs. Lindhurst, more James A. Castor. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. James A. Castor, heckler's welcome on HBO November 23rd. That's exciting to be on the home box office. The home box office with the static TV and the angle noise. Remember the feature presentation song? Yeah.

Yeah. A working mom who works two jobs and loves to kiss and never stops. Loves to kiss and never stops? Yeah. That's nice. Weird lady. She's the eye of the tiger. Interesting.

Well, we also have, of course, you heard those dulcet tones. You know it's Mrs. Lindhurst, of course, from the Lindhurst mansion out there in Tarrytown. Yes. And we have to get to our next guest. He is a concerned citizen.

Yeah, we are all wondering what you're concerned about. Now that I see you, I, of course, know who you are. You've been on the show a couple of times beforehand. Please welcome back to the show Ricky Johnson. Yeah, I know. I know you're going to say all of this. This is just great. Yeah.

It's absolutely great. I just want to get this out just straight out, because it takes Scott the longest to understand what's going on. I think it was the other guest who's been on both of your episodes, I believe, who doesn't understand the concept of what this is. But look, it's just, I'm someone who's stuck in a time loop.

I've been repeating the same day just for years and years and years at this point. It's changed now where I've done repeating the same day just for years and years and years at this point. It's changed now where I've done separate days. I've gotten out of my loop. The first time you were on the show, you had been in a loop for how long? Like thousands of years? It was thousands of years, yeah.

And you kept doing the same day and you'd been on the show so many times. That I had just, we had done different versions of it. We did like an alt-right version at one point. Yeah. Which you were super super into We did we did you we did you know, we did a serve call me call call call me by your name We all we all fucked peaches. We got very very sticky We did we did all a podcaster we don't want- No, yeah, we protect our own, that's for sure.

We protect our own. I'm in yet another loop and it's just- Yeah, you got out of that one and you were on the show for a second time because you were then, you got out of that loop, but you were in a new loop? Yeah, and we didn't really, we didn't get too far into how or why, but it just kinda happened. It kinda just happens to me. You know how you get sick? Yeah. I think this is sort of how I get sick.

Oh, interesting. So wait, is this your third day then, since that first day? This is, there's like time in between, right? So like- Oh, so you've spent weeks? I spent weeks, and that's actually the hardest part because I age. So I'm starting to feel my old crickety bones and my, it just sucks so bad to be

old. How old? I mean, because you're thousands and thousands of years old mentally. Yeah, I'm 34. You're, but you're 34 and chronologically. Yeah. Now, James, you've heard about these time loops,

right? You've seen these like Groundhog Day. Heard people like, it's very unfortunate that you got out of a time loop and then you've had to repeat it. Are you, is every single day you do it a thousand times or is it that you got out of a time loop and then you've had to repeat it Are you it's every single day you do it a thousand times or is it that you get out of a time loop and Then you manage to just live normally for a while and then you stumble into another one It's basically this like again, like I said, it's like, you know It's like when people get colds every year like I sort of I get stuck in a different day

You were on first a couple years ago and then maybe another year ago. So it's like every year this kind of happens to you? Just about once per year, I would say I become stuck in my loop. And I just- So how many times have you lived this day? This one has been one of the longer ones.

I've been about 1200 years. 1200 years on this day? Yeah, on this day alone. And you know what? It's not a good day. Yeah. How many times have you done Comedy Banking? Sometimes I, you know, I've done it probably like 800 times and sometimes I come-

That's like three quarters of your time. I appreciate that. It is quite, hey, I like being here. Hey. It's fun to have you. Hey, thank you so much. We like each other. We do.

We're friends. We're good friends. Really? At the beginning it seemed like you hated each other. No, no, no. It's sort of how we, you know how like, Yeah, you were kind of like upset that I was introducing you. I was just sick of hearing it.

I've done it 800 so times. Do I say the same thing every day? Most of the time. Yes, you do. It kind of depends. I have my little tricks. I do this thing now where I try to just make the days a little bit more interesting for myself.

I'm trying to, I like to speed run the day, sort of, and if you're not familiar with speed running, it's basically like a thing in video games where you try to like compete or try to get to a certain goal, like at a faster rate, sort of like a time trial and like a race almost, or like to see how I can maximize the day in the best way that I can. As much stuff as you can do in one day. Precisely. That's like if you go to Disneyland. I remember I went once and I was able to go to every ride because I just stacked up my

fast passes and went at a certain time. So I went and I did every single thing that Disneyland had to offer that day. I just felt very proud of it. I've done that in the loop. What's that James? How many times have you heard the Disneyland anecdote? He loves talking about how much he goes to Disneyland. This guy. he was fine.

I have to say that was the saddest thing I've ever heard. And I bet you, I can guarantee you haven't done it faster than me. I did all of Disneyland sub three hours. I did all of it. How? Those rides aren't very long. Cause it's not like you're living,

like you're doing it on different days by repeating the day. You did it all in one. I just had to go multiple times. So I went a bunch, I went hundreds of times in a row. So you knew like what rides had what lines. Exactly, because the rides, the lines are gonna be the same. The people are gonna be walking in the same basic configuration.

A couple of occasions I had to call in a bomb threat that helped me get into like just a little bit further into my day. How did you fit that in? You've done this show 800 times out of your 1200 years. Just fewer 100 times of course. Oh, I'm sorry, no, 800 times, not 800 years worth. No, not 800 years worth, 800 times. Okay, got it.

And then, you know, I just try to, getting my stats up, the hardest part, one of the hardest things, I'm trying to write the great American novel. Oh. And my progress starts over every single goddamn day. Can you remember everything that you wrote? I remember it, but it starts to then sound a little bit more like a Chad GVT summary

of what I had previously written. I'm trying to get through 300 pages a day. And I can't get further than that typically. And getting on a flight, obviously very difficult traveling, takes a lot of your day. I can only get so far. And often I wake, you know, the day starts over, I go to sleep. You go to sleep on the plane or sometimes you'll be awake, right? And you just, is that ever happen?

I'll be awake when the day goes back to the beginning and that hurts. That hurts and sucks really, really bad. I throw up a lot. Oh, this is terrible. Well, what's the most fun thing you've done on this day? On this day, you know, I, well. I mean, this is a look, it's a weird week to be here in America.

The mood of the country is either. I know it's so close to Thanksgiving. I'm extremely uncomfortable by that. Right. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. And, you know, it's a strange day. I mean, does anything, by the way, does anything terrible happen later in the day? Like, is there anything I need to watch out for? Oh, today, today is an absolutely unremarkable day. This is, from what I could tell, the highlight of your day and possibly your week. Oh, your life's good. And yeah, so it's not, it's not looking up from here, from what I can tell.

And usually I can kind of have a sort of premonition about like what else is going to occur. But you know- Yeah, have you seen me all the way to the end of the day on one of these days? Cause I'd love to know if I like, step out in front of a bus or anything. So yeah, depending on how the conversation goes sometimes,

I'll like, we'll have, we'll all sort of like go on a sub adventure of some kind. The four of us have? Yeah, we've like hung out, we've like ditched the recording and we've gone to Disneyland per your request. Even James? Yeah, James, it harder to get James in there. You need a Disneyland passport, of course.

No, I didn't mean like it's harder for an English person to get into Disneyland. No, and you like demand that it be that way. It's very strange. I just meant, I mean, like James is on a press tour. How do we convince him just to go down to Disneyland? Look, you don't want to talk about your stuff too much, right? It's like pretty easy to get you to go do something else. I immediately want to go to Disneyland.

Okay, I mean, all right. Yeah, they don't have churros across the pond, do they? Don't even know what you're talking about. I want to know what a churro is. Wow. You would love one. You don't know what a churro is. It's so good.

I would love to stuff you full of them. They're absolutely incredible. I'm not trying to get us to Disneyland, though. If we want to get over there, we could do it. I would love to stuff you full of them. They're absolutely incredible. I'm not trying to get us to Disneyland though. If we want to get over there, we could do it. We could easily get on what we call the five freeway here in Southern California and drive straight down. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Especially with the four of us in one car in the carpool lane. We're getting the carpool lane. Hell yeah. That'd be a breeze. Let's just do it. I don't want to, I'm not actually interested in doing that. I just kind of want this loop to be over. There hasn't, I haven't been able to accomplish that many goals. I mean, I have

different goals for myself every morning I wake up. You said, do we spend a greater time past, you know, just recording this podcast? We have, we've had dinner together, we've had meals, we've gotten to have- More meals than dinner. More meals than din- yeah. Supper, of course. Oh, because at first we have supper, then we do dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We might have an meals and dinner. More meals and dinner, yeah. Supper, of course. Oh, because at first we have supper, then we do dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We might have an aperitif.

Sure, certainly. Did you learn anything about Scott that Scott doesn't know that you know? Scott is a sensitive soul. And Scott, you know, I don't wanna get like, I don't wanna get choked up or anything. Oh. Scott, the Scott that I know.

Yeah. Is maybe one of my top 10 best friends. Oh. Oh, that's so sad. It's terrible. Ricky. That's so, sorry I had to look down at my page. No, it's okay. I mean, we've only met twice from my perspective.

I spent 800 podcast appearances with you. Yeah, I mean, just on this one day. I tried to do some things that would make the days just like a little more interesting for me. Like, I'm not trying to eat the same things every day. I've watched a bunch of TV and movies and that's easy because you retain the information. So I'm able to just pick up from-

Oh, wait, so you retain, because our memories keep forgetting movies that we see or whatever. You can remember a movie that you saw 800 years ago, as long as it was on the same day. It's maybe a little harder for me to remember, but let's say I was in the middle of a TV show, I can just pick up the next day and just continue.

I understand. So you can binge watch stuff. I can binge watch stuff like nobody's business. They don't keep making new shows. Not for me. You're stuck on this day. I'm stuck on this day, so I have to just reckon with the content that I currently have available to me

and just hope that someday I'll get to see something that's brand spanking new. Well, thank God Avengers Endgame has already come out. I think, honestly, if I hadn't seen that. That would have been awful. I've eaten different foods every single day to see what kind of, you know, stuff I can make. So you haven't seen the climactic conclusion

of the Penguin TV series. I've only seen up to, I believe, episode seven. Yeah, this is awful. So it's been 800 years and you've been sitting here wondering what happens in episode eight, nine, and 10? I gotta see what that crazy penguin's up to. Oh. I've tried to fall in love.

Oh. Oh. Tell us about that. How did it go? It doesn't, you can't do it in a. Oh, tell us about that. How did it go? It doesn't, you can't do it in a day. You can't, there's this woman, there's this woman that I work with and I go to, I know where she is, I should be at work if I'm being honest. You sound like a creep right now, by the way.

You sound like, I sound like, You know where she is. I know she's just because she's at work. I know where everybody is at any given point today because I've experienced the day. Where am I? You're here. Oh. I know she's at work. I know where everybody is at any given point today because I've experienced today. You're here. Where do you work?

I work at a fast food establishment. I don't know if you have one of these across the pond. Do you have Wendy's? Are you familiar with Wendy's? No. Have you ever had it ever? She's a little red-headed girl. No. She's Reba. Oh, Reba. Yeah, I know Reba. Yeah, yeah. I call her her name is. Yeah, she's Reba Prime. She's the Reba in this in this particular timeline. And that's actually what I've come to understand now, having been in loops in several loops at this point. These are all I'm at one fixed point in multiple timelines at the same time. So like, that's why the loop keeps starting over for me and I have different information,

but it's at the same spot for you guys. Do you have to keep going to work at this shitty job at Wendy's in order, if you ever get out of the loop, you don't want to lose the job. That's tricky, right? I can't have my last day be a day I wasn't at work. So I do occasionally have to check in or at least call in sick.

Yeah. I've been on a real show too. Oh, let's hear a little bit of it. I'd love for you to read it. Oh, I'd love it. Mrs. Lindhurst, do you wanna play the Wendy's? Absolutely. The manager?

Yeah, the manager. I'll put on a bit of a character, okay? Okay, sounds good. Bring, bring. Scott will be the phone. I'll be the phone. James, who do you wanna be? You're the phone?

I'll be a customer. Customer, okay. So I'm picking up the phone at the Wendy be the phone. James, who do you want to be? You're the phone? I'll be a customer. Customer? Okay. I'm picking up the phone at the Wendy's? At the Wendy's, yeah. Okay, okay. Try me again.

Here we go. Bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring,

bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, bring, Welcome to Wendy's. Is this my boss? Who is... Who am I talking to? It's me, your sick employee Ricky. Oh Ricky, you need to get your ass down here and you need to start making all this. I have a... Fries and all these McFlurries. I have a cold washcloth on my head. I'm so sick.

Now you listen to me right now. I did not start working for Reba to have something like this happen to me. Now you put that stupid rag down, get your little idiot ass on down here, start making it. Hey lady, my friend and I want burgers. My friend and I want burgers here. Right? Yeah, yeah.

What do you want? We were promised 10 burgers and a Wendy's shake. Y'all want- And a wig, a red wig. We were promised that. Wait, listen, I told y'all, we don't have any more wigs. You promised. You promised. We do not give wigs out anymore, okay?

I got in trouble for that. All the employees are supposed to be wearing the wigs. Y'all can't just take the wigs with you at the end of the day. You need to work at Wendy's you have one of these wigs. Alright, we'll work here. Promise me. But yesterday this guy was here.

He said he gets in time loops sometimes and he waffled on, but he said we get wigs if we can't. Tell me something. Is this guy just like a little guy that you just want to kill? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, kind of like a bug that you squash with your shoe. I know it! it's Ricky. Hold on, I've got him on the phone right now. Ricky? Hey, Ricky, do you remember us?

Oh, actually, I've never, I'm so sick. My memories are going crazy. You promised us wigs and you know you did. Why are you in work today? We want our wigs. I'm so sick. It was yesterday. Ricky?

Remember? Remember? Ricky. I do remember that, but I just, I can't come. It was yesterday, not hundreds Remember? Remember? Ricky? I do remember that, but I just- It was yesterday, not hundreds of years ago. No, of course. It was just yesterday, but I can't come in today because I'm so sick.

Ricky, if you promise these customers wigs and I'm supposed to tell them they can't have them, do you know that Ribbit is going to fucking grill me over the coals? And I know, I put you in such a bad situation because I understand her to be a single mom who works two jobs and mother kids never stop. Single mom who works two jobs and loves her kids and never stops. OK, we didn't come here for a concert. We came here for wigs. We came here for wigs.

I know you remember us, Ricky. I'm English and my friend sucked his own dick in front of you. Yeah. Remember us? I remember, dude. You're the man who sucks his own dick in fun time. Yeah. Remember us? Wait, I remember, dude. You're the man who sucks his own dick. Well, I mean, I didn't expect to be famous from it. Oh my god, the way you can literally reach your asshole with your tongue. I be.

Yeah. Well, anyway, if you don't know where, if you're not gonna give us wigs, is there like a wig store somewhere or? There's a wig store. Oh, you sound better all of a sudden. I meant, sorry, there's a wig store. I, you sound bad all of a sudden. I'm sorry, there's a wig store. I think this guy's faking it. You think really he's faking it?

Gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go. Where's he going if he's sick? He's just at home. Oh my God, what am I gonna do? Hey, come with us little lady. What?

I'm supposed to be home. We got a hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. Whoa, a hotel. We'd love to take you to. It's so beautiful there. Oh my God. Yeah. I get to see the beautiful Walk of Fame.

Of course, yeah. The stars are out tonight. But listen, you can't tell anybody I'm coming with you guys because Reba will have my ass. We won't tell anyone, and you shouldn't tell anyone either. What? I gotta let Reba know I'm going.

What am I going along with now? Yeah, yeah, you come down on the hot pack with us, and you tell anyone. Much more comfortable in the trunk, by the way. We don't have a backseat. It's not the first time I've hung out with a man who could suck his own dick, and it won't be the last time. Screech! And sing. It would probably be something like that. It would probably be exactly last time. Scream! Ah! And scene. It would probably be something like that.

It would probably be exactly like that. It was wonderful. But you know, hopefully I go to work on a day that then the next day is a normal day for me. Yeah. Because I do like working there, if I'm being honest. Why? Free burgers, baby.

Oh, okay, yeah. Your boss sounds cool. Really cool boss. Yeah. Super cool boss. And this Wendy Reba. Yeah, boy. Well, so, I mean, what do you think will trigger you getting out of this time loop?

I've tried a bunch of different things, you know? I know that you guys were talking about taking a big shit earlier, and I try to mix up the types of foods that eat. And I'd like to, you know, this is just, I'm adding to like a stat log in my brain kind of. So like I'll. Yeah, cause you can't write this stuff down.

I can't write it down. So I have to do it from memory. Cause it disappears every day. So I eat different foods every single day to see how big of a shit I could take. That's like one of the things I've been trying to do. It has not helped, but it's like honestly, kind of a funny thing for me to do.

I like doing it. Yeah. Just cause doing it. Yeah. Just cause like- Be careful. Somebody died taking a shit after eating a died ball. I read about that and the thing about it, what I read that is it came out sideways and that's why it hurts so bad. Yes, that would happen.

That's how it happens. Whole thing sideways. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I've been trying to be just really careful when I do that. If you died from taking a sideways shit, you would just- Yeah, you've died several times, right? I've died a lot, actually.

I've lived, died, and I've repeated. That's like the whole thing. It's part of the experience. And sometimes I'll just die at the end of the day if I want the day to be over, if I'm being honest. Yeah, well, I mean, have you ever tried what Groundhog Day kinda did? Phil, I believe was his name.

Be a big asshole and then continue to be a big asshole at the end of the movie. Well, I mean, you know, he sort of became a better person where he cared about at least one other person more than he cared about himself. That's true. You know, have you tried that? I haven't tried to give a shit in particular.

I guess I could try that. I did get really good at piano. My teacher was very impressed. That's just as good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, people like that. People love it really good at piano. My teacher was very impressed. That's just as good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, people like that. People love it. So you went into your teacher and said, I don't know how to play piano.

And then she gave you a lesson and you played a concerto in front of her. Yeah, I learned that. And she said, that's my student. Yeah, on the final day. This makes sense. What a gift. In that one particular class,

I learned the final note of that concerto. Wow. Yeah, it was very exciting for me. But I would imagine you had to go into the music teacher and say like, hey, I know how to play most of a concerto. Could you teach me the final note? The one note, please. Yeah, that's how it works.

They teach you one note. Hey, look, that's how I learned. If I had a piano right in front of me, I'd bless you with a little tinkling of the eye. I'd rather have a piano in front of me than a frontal piano me. So every time you say that, I don't get sick of it. I've heard it so many times.

I love you, man. I love you. Look, honestly, from my perspective, this is the third day I've seen you, but I think we're very close. I think we're really close. And you know, some of the nights, we- Some of the nights?

Well, some of the nights- Well, some of the nights, Well, you spend the nights together. You know, we might crack open a bottle of your finest orange skin contact wine and, Oh, very hip. Nice and chilled and yeah, sometimes we snuggle up a little bit. We do this at my house or?

We do it at your house, yeah, we do it here. We're gonna be careful going over to Scott's house for orange skin contact. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, now I gotta ask you a question, Ricky. This is not all fake and you haven't just like said all this, you know, you've been on the show,

this is your third time in maybe three years. You're not just making all this stuff up, right? I swear to God, this is the most real thing that's ever happened to me. Cause let me tell you something. I don't like it. It sucks. I got to say when you ask someone if something's real, if they say it's the

most real thing that's ever happened, that makes me suspicious. Yeah, it looks like things are just real or they're not real. There's no like degrees of realness. I, I don't know how to prove to you otherwise. Look how sweaty he's getting. I'm just naturally kind of sweaty. I kind of just exude sweat a lot, you know, like a normal man, but more so right now.

Could you predict, or I guess it's not even a prediction, because you know. I know what you're gonna do the rest of the night. But could you predict something that's gonna happen like right now? You're gonna, we're gonna beg you to not suck your own dick right now.

Because we're trying to finish the show. But it's obvious, of course. We just think for you, it wouldn't be great to do it right now of all times. It sounds like he's telling the truth. Please don't suck your own dick, Scott. Please don't do it. Please, Scott, don't do it. You're shaking.

You're shaking. You want to do it so bad. Oh, look at him. He's begging. All right. I will acquiesce. See? And not do it. Just do it when we're gone. Do you I will acquiesce. See? God, Devin.

And not do it. Just do it when we're gone. Do you know what acquiesce means? Yeah. But Ricky, I'm so sorry. I mean, I hope you get out of it, but- I usually do is the thing. And then I come in back and it's happened to me yet again.

Yeah. Well, Ricky Johnson, it's happened to him yet again. I would love to see a movie based on your life. It would be like, Ricky Johnson, it's happened to him yet again. I would love to see a movie based on your life. It would be like, Ricky Johnson, it's happened to him yet again. There it goes, keeps happening. Well, we are running out of time, guys, unfortunately. I mean, obviously, Ricky, you have all the time in the world. Don't remind me.

As far as this show goes, we are running out of time. We only have time for one final feature. That's a little something called plugs. Now welcome, you're listening to Hubba Bubba 1029. This is Hakeem from the Booba Booba. Make a thingaloo, Booba Mooma. Make a thingaloo, Booba Mooma. Make a thingaloo, Booba Mooma. Make a thingaloo, Booba Mooma.

I think about a boomba in 92, it's baby boobalicious but the hunk. I think about a boom when I get to with baby boobalicious but the hunk. It was on Dr. Skeleton's Celebrity Toilet.

Oh dear. Must be something in the air this particular week. It's reminding everyone of shit? Every time you play that drop, I know it's 30 seconds too long. Yeah, I'm sorry. Imagine hearing that 800 times. Um, but I appreciate it. That was a Hubba Bubba with Doomloop Poop Flume.

Thank you so much to Hubba Bubba. If you have a, a plugs theme, head over to cbbworld.com slash plugs, I believe. And, uh, all the stems and everything are there, everything you need in order to make your own themes and you can upload them and you'll be heard on the show and you'll become famous and hubba bubba, you're famous. So congratulations, at least for a week. All right, what are we plugging? James, what do you got? Obviously the special is here. I see the special. Peckler's welcome, by the way, HBO, November 23rd.

Yeah. And also the show is out on vinyl But it's a different recording on a different night where it was 95% heckles Uh in my in my hometown and it was an absolute mess and that is out on vinyl as well So is it like uh, just two sides so it's like 40 two sides of vinyl. Yeah, we cut we cut it down to like 45 minutes Uh, we did a limited run and that sold out, but we did a repressing. So yeah, people can get James Acastle live at the KLV, which is the catcher in the letter village. Amazing, that sounds really funny.

Awesome, well, we now turn to Mrs. Lindhurst. What are you plugging here? Yes, well, I'd of course love to plug the mansion in our new weapon, the Panera Lemonade. And then I would of course like to promote some other podcasts I like on CBB World, Scott, I support you. Well, thank you, so you're a Maximus subscriber? Yes.

I like to listen to Going Deep and This Book Changed My Life and Hey Randy. Yes. And of course I love Instagram handle L-A-L-Y-Y-L-I. Yeah, go check that out. I've been to that. Yes. It's hard to get to, but it's worth it. It's excellent, yeah. Yeah, once you do.

Ricky Johnson, what do you wanna plug? Well, I listened to this podcast that I haven't been able to listen to a new episode of because it hasn't come out on the day that I'm in the time loop. So that's really shitty for me, but I've been listening to it. So what's the last episode that you've had to hear over and over again?

The last episode that I listened to is actually, it's a, well, I'll say what the podcast is first. It's a video game podcast called Get Played with Manopadaka, Nick Weiger and Heather Ann Campbell. And I think the last episode I listened to was an episode with comedian Bridger Weinegger. So that was a great, great time. It's a nice one to keep listening to over and over again.

Now, you don't have to listen to over again. But I'd like to hear a new episode. Now, you don't have to listen to that so much, but you decided to. I've decided to, because it's just part of the day. It just kind of gets me going. While you're brushing your teeth and stuff like that, you may as well. Yeah, but they typically put out new episodes

Now, I don't know what that is. It's like hentai, but not Now I don't know what that is. It's like hentai but not pornography. And you know what it is, you love it. It's one of the sixes in hentai.

And so they talk about anime, they watched the Sonic the Hedgehog anime recently, that's the one that I keep listening to, hopefully there's a new episode when I get out of the loop that I'll be looking forward to. But other than that, just that's it, that's it. Wonderful. I wanna plug, look, our big, huge final live show
