No shirt, no shoes.
Now I have Ringworm.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Ah yes, thank you to JD Bomba in all caps too.
JD Bomba, I think is how it's pronounced.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition.
My name is Scott Aukerman and it is always great to break off another hundo.
That's right, this is episode 901.
We are breaking off our 10th hundo.
If you can imagine, in just a mere two years
we'll be up to episode 1,000.
That's incredible, but we love breaking off new hundos.
And there's no better group to break off said Hundo than with this group.
Coming up a little later, we have a former athlete and current coach, and we also have the owner and
proprietor of a children's footwear store. So that is, I assume they're the owner and proprietor.
I would imagine they propriet it as well as hopefully own it, but we'll find out about that in a little later.
In a little bit is what I meant to say, not in a little later.
I am so sorry.
I apologize.
Is our editing machine still broken?
Yeah, getting word it's still broken.
That's gonna go out exactly as it occurred, unfortunately.
But you know what?
Let's get to our first guest of this new hundo,
our 10th hundo.
Very exciting.
She is a standup comedian of note and...
What do you think about being a standup comedian of note?
I love it.
I'm making business cards tomorrow.
People have noted that you are a standup comedian?
That's really, that's the review.
They've just noted I do that.
She has a wonderful new, I'm going to call it a docu special, like a hybrid of a
documentary and a special, although wouldn't, if you're truly making a portmanteau
of documentary and special, wouldn't you shorten special?
So it'd be docu-eshal.
You're right.
You know?
901, you still got it.
Yep, 901.
It's called Dad Jokes and we're gonna talk about it here.
And it's her, she's joining the exclusive One-Timer's Club.
This is exciting.
Please welcome Mo Welch.
Thank you.
No, no one has to clap.
No, no, no.
It's a podcast.
This person goes.
There's no audience, but you're here.
I always pause.
I always pause for applause.
I said it was such verve and force that it seemed like there should have been just a
thunderous level of applause here, but unfortunately there is no audience.
But welcome to the show.
It's so good to see you.
Thank you.
You know, I drew that at some point.
That's my comic right there.
You're pointing to either my phone,
which I don't think you drew my phone.
I drew that.
You're pointing to my glasses, maybe, I don't know.
Yes.
Or you're pointing to this picture of my daughter.
Yes.
Or you're gonna have to be more specific
than just gesturing towards a million things.
That cartoon head.
Which one? This one right here?
Yeah, that's my cartoon.
So at some point, I know I'm in the one-timers club right now,
but at some point I was sitting at this table.
That's right. Wow. So on what occasion do you recall?
I don't. I don't recall.
Have you ever done a podcast before?
This is my... No, I'm a one-timer.
I'm a one-time podcast guest.
It's so great to meet you.
So great to have you on the show.
Big fan of your, the comedy of note
that we discussed earlier.
And I watched your special and let's roll up our sleeves.
Let's get into it.
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Okay.
This is now a lot of comedians put out a special,
almost to the point where they're not even special anymore.
They're just, they're normals.
I agree with this.
And yet you put out a hybrid,
which I'm gonna call it docu-ashole.
This is a mixture of standup comedy
as well as something else.
Do you want to tell and inform our listeners
regarding as to what that might be?
I will inform.
I made a documentary about going to see my dad
for the first time in 20 years.
20 years.
Yes, and then I put stand-up around it
because it, you know, just to cut the tension.
Did you always think he was gonna have standup around it?
Was that the intent or were you just kind of filming?
I thought it would just, well, on the road
before we had some shows on the way to go see,
I went to New York and stuff and we had some footage
from there and then it just kind of looked,
it ended up being like 35 minutes, the whole thing.
Of standup or of the documentary of your, oh yeah.
And so we had to make it closer to an hour.
Right, how close is it to that hour by the way?
I wanna say it is like 58 minutes or something.
Really, it seemed longer to me.
Maybe it was. It seemed feature length.
That's what I like when people, yeah.
It seemed longer, it seemed like really long.
Well, let's discuss it.
You haven't seen your father in two decades
up till this point when you made the film.
And what were the reasons behind that?
We moved, so when my parents got divorced,
we moved from central Illinois,
which is featured heavily in the doc.
So much so that other than the stand up of the approximately 25 other minutes, 35 other
minutes, it never seems to veer out of there, does it?
We're just stuck in there.
And that's how I felt when I was a kid, just stuck around those corn fields.
There's not even that town that I'm in, in the special, in the Eshel is, no, no, no, in the docu is
under 400 people live there.
There's not even one store.
And that's where I was a preteen.
There's not even one store.
What does that mean?
There's no place where anyone sells anything.
There's no business.
There used to be a gas station when I was a kid
and we used to go, we used to walk a mile to go to that gas station. That's tough when the gas
station goes out of business. The gas station. Like the one profitable like oil. And it's,
believe it or not, believe it or not, it's not because of electric cars down there.
So just there's, there's not enough people. They're not, I mean, it seems like they would
have to drive to go buy their groceries. Yeah. So the gas station is like making hay.
Yeah, so it was-
Maybe making hay is the better business out there.
That would be nice.
Yeah.
We'll be right back.
So it's a very small town.
What is the name of the town?
Is it-
Armington.
Armington.
Yeah.
So people like look down at their bodies
and they go, I don't know,
let's just name a town after this thing.
Absolutely.
So you grew up in Armington,
you moved away after your mother and father got divorced.
Right.
And then what happened?
So then we moved to Oak Park.
Oh, you moved somewhere.
We moved to Oak Park.
Now this is in Illinois.
Yeah, that's right outside Chicago.
Yeah, and so we moved there
and then we just never see this guy again.
He just goes off. He's got his own life.
He gets married to Penny, never seen her wear a bra,
it's fine, but he's got all of his stepchildren,
he gets a new family.
Does he, he doesn't have any more natural children
of his own?
Well, not that we know of, but there've been people,
there've been some messages,
there's been some Facebook messages.
So he married someone else and that just never has occasion to ever swing by Oak Park.
Yeah.
Well, he did on my 18th birthday, he came up to take me off the child support, but he
didn't come to say hi.
Yeah.
And you know, I have four siblings.
So it was like, it was a lot of kids to leave in the dust. Right. Did he pay his child support the entire year?
No, he never paid it.
He never paid it. Yeah. So when you turned 18, it was a big day for him because now
he doesn't have to pay anymore.
He wasn't even paying it anymore. And you know, it's kind of fun when they go to jail,
when they go, when those dads go to jail, they, the,
the bail is set at like $5,000
and all that money goes to my mom.
So my mom's always like, God, I hope it gets pulled over.
You know?
You use the money.
Could use that five grand.
And so the last time you saw him before this experience
was when you were 18?
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, around 18.
Yeah.
Okay.
So you're-
No, no, no.
Before that, it was like maybe it was like 16 because he came up, but he didn't come
to say hi to me.
So maybe it was like 15 or 16.
Now this experience in having this type of father in the docu-eshul, you note that this has led you to writing a certain
type of humorous punchline and set up. We call them jokes. Punch up comes first then set up.
You've written a lot of jokes about your father. Yes. And you were wondering why that is.
Right.
So I had all these jokes about my dad because to me it was like, I don't know, it was easy,
but I always thought, oh, that's funny.
Even though looking back, I'm like a lot of audiences, you do that setup and they're like,
where is this going?
God, this is depressing.
And I kept going though.
But that's what I asked myself
before I did this special,
cause I was just like, okay,
why do I have all these jokes?
I don't even know this guy.
And so I compiled all the jokes I had
and then I wrote a bunch of new ones.
And I thought like, oh, maybe I'll get some new experiences
if I actually go meet him.
Cause they were all like in the past childhood jokes.
Right, and now you want some adult dad jokes.
Yeah. Where it's like, hey, so I met my dad and this happened.
Yeah, I met my dad and that was weird.
You know?
So you, you do a, uh, you, you, you chronicle, which is a fancy word, uh, to, uh, say
that you film yourself, um, you chronicle this journey to the far off town of
Indianapolis, is that where he is?
this journey to the far off town of Indianapolis, is that where he is?
In order to meet him, you set up a meeting. We don't see the ins and outs of the setup of the meeting, but you reach out to him. Yeah. And I had a few friends that it was like a three
person crew and we go out there. And so they had his number and so they were able to
and we go out there and so they had his number and so they were able to speak with him, text with him.
And I didn't know if he was gonna show up.
Right. Yeah.
I really didn't until like the second I saw his truck
and I was like, oh shit.
This is happening.
Yeah.
So yeah, it's a cross between you doing standup
about the experience as well as doing some of the jokes that you've written
in the past about your father.
And then a lot of you getting there
and revisiting your old haunts,
including the graveyard and the,
there's one very funny part where you go to a certain place
and knock on the door.
And- a certain place, knock on the door.
Yes, I go to, well, my dad used to live in this trailer in Atlanta, Illinois.
That's confusing, isn't it?
It is.
Can you imagine? That should be illegal.
My sister lives there too.
And so you're like- I don't like it.
Yeah, cause like they all talk like, they're like,
you know, go to Atlanta, Illinois.
And it's like, it's just the Atlanta, Georgia accent
is so much better.
It should be like IMDB where, or SAG,
where if you name a town,
you can't name any other town exactly, you know,
because then we would know where the Simpsons live.
Yes.
Yeah, finally the mystery is solved.
But so Atlanta, so you,
your father used to live in this trailer in Atlanta, Illinois.
Yeah, I used to live in this trailer. And this was like the last time I saw him and I was, well, yeah. Okay. So then I was 14.
14. Yeah. So it's 14 and we were at his trailer and he had this girlfriend named Jeannie. And anyway, so he, I don't know where he was.
Does that not remain to the story?
You kind of like toss it off.
No, I was just like laughing
because this didn't make the special
because it's so fucked up.
But one time Jeannie told my older sister,
this is so sorry.
Oh, that's all right.
This is, I mean, hey,
we take the light in the dark here at Comedy Big League.
She was like, all I remember, two things about her.
She made us goulash.
And she told my sister
that my dad had a big dick.
How did this come up?
I don't know.
That's the two facts I know.
And then she told me and I was like,
I don't need to know this.
It's only so much goulash until you gotta start talking.
And then-
What else?
What else? What else? What else? What else?
So you go back to this trailer in the special.
Yeah. So I go to the trailer and I try to knock on the door
because it's the first time I got my period was at this trailer.
So then I go try to like find the people that live there
so I could tell them that I got my period in this trailer.
Then you'll have to tune in to see.
You'll have to see the reaction.
Yes.
And so it's a combination of your standup,
you preparing to go to the meeting and visiting your old haunts.
And then finally there is the, uh, the confrontation.
Although that makes it sound way more, uh, heated.
The meeting.
The meeting between you and your father.
The reunion.
Yes.
And so it's a combination of all these things,
but very funny throughout your kind of,
it's not incredibly serious, although you do,
there are some serious parts where you're talking
to your mother about how she kept going
and having five kids, but it's very funny all throughout. And how do you like it?
Are you proud of it?
I hate it.
You guys shouldn't watch this. No, I was really proud of it because I just had this idea and I
was like, I should go see him. Why don't I bring a camera? And then of course I regretted that before meeting him.
I was like, what did I do?
But I was proud of it because I just like,
I just like paid for it myself and was like, let's,
and then I recruited a few friends and we were just like,
yeah, it was perfect.
Did you pay the friends?
No, no, I did.
Yeah, they get paid too.
Well, it's very funny. Yeah, they get paid too. Uh, well, it's very funny.
It's on Hulu currently people can access it via Hulu.com, I would imagine, or some sort of
app that they would have on one of their devices.
Uh, they would put in to the search bar, probably, I mean, dad jokes would probably
make it come up right away, but you could probably put up dad and then.
You see, just go down the list of things
that are named dad until you get them,
but watch all of them.
I bet that it would be no later than fifth.
Yeah, dad, dad, what else is named dad?
Daddy dearest, daddy daycare would probably be there.
Oh, daddy daycare.
Yeah, you think who most dreams daddy daycare?
Daddy Mr. Deeds. Daddy Mr. Deeds?
Yeah, of course.
That should be the sequel to Mr. Deeds.
Daddy Mr. Deeds, he's a father now.
I love this idea.
I own the idea by the way,
since you sent it on my podcast.
I've already mailed it to myself.
Oh.
Well, it's very funny.
It's touching,, it's touching,
and it's a good encapsulation of who you are as a performer.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Okay.
All right, now let's get down to business here.
It's all over the internet.
You're starring in the Office reboot.
Wow, well, starring is a big word.
Well, it's an ensemble.
Are you the Jim and or Pam?
I'm at the bottom.
Okay.
So you're the, who is at the bottom of the office?
The bottom of the office is the one where we go, hey, that one just said something.
Wow.
They got their one line in.
Hey, that girl just said something.
Have you filmed this already?
Yeah.
We filmed the first season.
The whole season?
Yeah.
So it's actually coming out.
And I'm a writer on this show, so we wrote,
so I was in the writer's room.
So you're the BJ Novak of the office room.
Everyone's saying it.
Everyone's saying it.
Everyone's saying I am a stand-up no
and I'm the next BJ Novak.
So it's, how many episodes is it?
When's it come out?
Give me all the details.
I don't know.
Dish sister. I don't know when it come out? Give me all the details, dish sister.
I don't know when it comes out.
Tell me everything, who know?
Let's make it exclusive here on this show.
I'm breaking off a new hundo.
What if they cut every line I have?
What if, gosh, you ever think about that?
I mean, but the thing is, is you get paid when that happens.
I know it's like, yeah, your mom bragged about you.
The money though. Yeah. I mean the money's great. Yeah. You're rich now, like, yeah, your mom bragged about you. Are we really doing it for the money though?
Yeah.
I mean the money's great.
Yeah.
You're rich now by the way, we haven't talked about that.
Yeah, yeah, after dad jokes.
After once using television.
After funding my own special, yeah, I'm pretty rich.
And who else is in the cast?
I know you got Alan Havy, right?
Yes.
And- Oh, you got Tracy Letts.
I really like her.
Incredible playwright, Tracy Letts.
Yes, Donald Gleason, Sabrina-
Is that how you pronounce it, Donald?
Packard Torch.
Or are we all just guessing every time we talk about it?
It took me a while to learn it.
As a midwesterner public school gal.
So you've got Tracy Letts, an incredible playwright,
Donald Gleeson, a British actor.
Yes.
You have- Tim Key, do you know Tim Key?
I don't.
He's hilarious.
He's also a standup performer.
Okay.
Or one man show sort of performer.
So you got some comedians in there.
Yeah, I've got some comics.
Okay. Yeah.
Alan Havy's a comedian also of note.
Yeah.
And is it fun to do this kind of thing
where like I assume that you're always coached
to just look at the camera after every line
and go like, rrrr.
Well, you are, they kind of,
I kind of wish that's all I did, but.
Just always just be like, rrrr.
Yeah.
Anytime anyone else talks.
They're like, that girl looked at the camera.
What if you were just looking at the camera
the entire episode, like one of the cameras.
That would be great.
I wish that were just my character.
And just like, I'm just tracking the camera
wherever it goes.
They're like, that's not how it works.
And you're like, everyone has a different relationship
with the camera.
That's right.
But it must be fun to do that classic office style.
Yeah, it's fun to be on a set like that for sure.
And it was, I mean, it was my entire year last year.
So that was interesting.
Cause I mean, I was on tour at the same time.
So you were on zoom acting or?
Yes, that'd be great too.
Just looking at this camera.
Yeah.
I mean, they make you self tape these days.
It's like, why can't I then self do the part?
It would be great if there's one character.
Everything would be like that 30 Rock COVID episode.
Yeah.
But it's a fun show.
You were saying how many episodes and when's it come out?
10, and I don't know when it comes out.
Hmm, seems sus.
Let's call someone at NBC Peacock.
You would think it would be a post Super Bowl
kind of thing, or is it for Peacock or is it NBC?
It's Peacock, as far as I know.
Maybe it's, I have no idea.
They don't tell me anything.
They don't tell you anything.
You're sitting around in the writer's room.
There must be some goss where you're like,
when's it come out?
Ear to the door of every executive.
Me trying to figure out information.
Wow.
Well, it's a secret apparently,
but it's coming out at some point soon.
And maybe on Peacock where the Traders is,
as well as Deal or No Deal Island.
I can't wait to watch that.
That's tonight.
Yes.
We're taping this on a day where the Deal or No Deal Island
has an episode.
So, this is very exciting day for us. We're not only breaking
up a new hondo, but Deal or No Deal Island is on tonight and we'll get to see exactly what happens with
the suitcases. The suitcases are the star of the show. The island is number two on the call sheet.
Suitcases are number one. I think they all share number one, every suitcase. I've never seen that
show, but I'm so interested.
How did they do that?
They just took a reality show and they said,
let's put it on an island.
Like, wow.
Yeah, it would be fun to do like Jeopardy Island,
Wheel of Fortune Island.
Jeopardy Island.
It really is like, Deal or No Deal is the show
that has no drama because it's like basically
a coin flip island.
And if it's like, is it gonna be heads
or is it gonna be tails?
Yeah.
And then you have to guess which one it is.
Imagine having to get that wheel
from Wheel of Fortune to an island.
Man, you'd have to break it up into at least
Yes.
eight pieces, I would think.
You have to put that on a plane.
To fit it in the overhead bin.
Well, the office, what's it called?
Is it called the office like?
It's called the paper.
The paper?
Yeah.
Now the office sold paper.
The paper sells offices?
Yeah.
Does any of this make sense?
Exactly, no, that's exactly what it is.
Okay, great.
My character is just like selling different office space,
office space in different cities.
And then there's the movie Office Space,
which who knows what they're selling.
They never even go into it, do they?
This is crazy, I don't know.
But the office paper edition comes out soon,
but most importantly, Dad Jokes is out there right now
on Hulu, everyone should check it out.
Mo, can you stick around?
We have some great guests.
Please.
We have a former athlete. Did you ever play any
sports?
I did.
Which ones?
Basketball.
Basketball.
Yeah, mostly basketball. Uh huh. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a, I was a forward and, and then a guard.
Forward and then a guard. Okay. Well, I'm, I don't know that our former athletes knows anything about that particular sports.
Okay, yeah.
But we'll find out a little bit later.
We also have the owner and proprietor
of a children's footwear store.
So this is a packed show.
We're breaking off a new hundo today.
So this is, I mean, you must be very honored right now.
I'm so honored.
I am so honored.
I can't wait to hear about children's shoes.
Sure, great.
All right, well, let's take a break.
When we come back, Dad Jokes, of course, on Hulu.
When we come back, we're gonna have more with Mo Welch,
more Comedy Bang Bang.
We'll be right back after this.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Yeah.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back.
We have Mo Welch, Dad Jokes is out on Hulu right now.
While you're there, you can check out everything else
on Hulu, like those weird movies or those documentaries.
Like a day after-
The music documentaries too.
Yeah, music documentaries.
But like a day after anything happens in the news,
there's like a Hulu documentary, like Luigi Mangione
or whatever his name is, like the mind behind a killer.
It's like, how did they slap this together so quickly?
And you're in that esteemed company right now. Yes. Dad Jokes. I'm in that too. like the mind behind the killer. It's like, how did they slap this together so quickly?
And you're in that esteemed company right now.
Yes. Dad jokes.
I'm in that too.
Oh really? Okay.
Mind behind the killer, yeah.
We have to get to our next guest.
He's a former athlete.
I don't believe of basketball,
although I can't recall if he played two sports,
much like, who were the two sportos?
You got Michael Jordan, who played baseball and basketball.
You have, who else?
Is there another two sports?
Deon Sanders?
Was that Deon?
Well, here he is.
Yeah, let's talk to him.
This is Coach Prime.
What's going on, Scott?
How are you?
Scott, what's going on with you, baby?
Not a lot going on.
Scott, boy, you're looking good.
Thank you so much.
Boy, I tell you, Scott, you're looking good, boy.
Thank you so much.
This is Mo.
Mo, what's going on with you, baby?
How are you?
You're looking good, Mo.
Now, Mo was saying that you might've played two sports.
I did.
Which ones?
I did, Scott, playing football and baseball.
Football and baseball, so you,
why does everyone make baseball their second sport?
Like, you know, is it easier than all of-
Because you gotta hit that thing,
you gotta swing that thing.
Scott, you gotta swing that thing. Okay, that makes sense. Scott, I know you be swinging that thing, you gotta swing that thing. Scott, you gotta swing that thing.
Okay, that makes sense.
Scott, I know you be swinging that thing,
Scott, don't you act like you don't swing that thing, Scott.
Look, I played softball once in a charity game.
Softball.
Do you like the balls to be as hard as possible?
Hell yeah, balls gonna be hard.
How hard is a football?
Is it like just a stone, like granite or something?
Football is about, how would I describe it?
Let me think here.
A football is about as hard as a church wafer on Sunday.
A church what on Sunday?
Wafer.
A church wafer.
A communion wafer.
Communion wafer on Sunday, yeah.
Imagine a bag of communion waafers getting thrown at you.
Ooh, God, you'd hate that.
In prison, someone comes by with a pillowcase full of communion wafers.
And they beat you up with it.
Yeah, exactly.
They let you know that you on A-Turk.
You're in the D block.
Coach Prime, it's great to have you.
Scott, it's great to be here.
And you look good.
I don't know that I do, but I appreciate that.
You of course have, Coach Prime is one of your nicknames.
Neon Dion was one.
Name some more.
Prime time?
Give me some more.
Come on, give me one more.
I know you got one more in your bag.
Those are the only ones I know.
I know you got one more in your pillowcase.
That's all I have.
Did you have another one?
I don't know.
That's up to you to figure out.
Now you coach football.
The Buffaloes, baby.
The Buffaloes, hey, we coming.
Okay.
Let me tell you something right now, Scott,
because that's why I'm here,
because my son, Shadour, is leaving.
My best player, Travis Hunter, is leaving.
My other son, Shiloh, is leaving.
It's got, I need dogs, man.
And why are you here then?
Because I don't see any dogs here.
I see dogs.
I need dogs, guys.
If anybody, if I need one thing
to make sure that the Colorado Buffaloes
are still coming next year, and coming hard.
Because these boys coming hard.
How old, I've never been able to figure this out.
How old are the people who are playing on your team?
Between 18 and 30, I guess.
Oh, so they're adults though.
Yeah, it's college, Scott.
Oh, it's college.
Then you go to college, Scott.
Very briefly.
Where you go?
Are people still in college at 30?
They can be.
You can go to college at any time.
Like football?
You can go to college at any time.
I guess.
So why don't you just get a bunch of NFL players?
Because when you get to NFL, it's because you lose your eligibility.
Once you become a pro, you're no longer an amateur.
Okay, so that answered my question.
I have a few years left.
You got a few years to get to the NFL?
Yeah, I got a good arm.
Well, Mo, I need dogs.
Okay.
Mo, are you a dog?
I'm a dog.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, you sign up.
You sign up, you come on out.
Is there a sign up sheet? How does one? Is'm a dog. Okay. Yeah. Well, you sign up. You sign up, you come on out.
Is there a sign up sheet?
How does one?
There's a sign up sheet.
I'll be posting a sign up sheet outside your house
on the cookbook.
All right, well, you might be able to get
some really interesting players then.
You know, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Name them, name them Scott.
Who can I get?
They're all dogs.
First of all.
I need dogs.
Cactus Tony.
Oh, yes, a dog.
So do people have to study as well,
or can they just take people?
Everybody got to study, Scott.
I don't play around with them books.
You got to get your books if you're going to be on my team.
I need book smart dogs.
Okay, so this is why I don't think I could go
back to college and play for a year.
That's the issue with you, Scott.
See, you don't like to study.
You don't like to do your research.
You didn't even know all my nicknames.
How many units do you have to take?
18 and a quarter. 18? This is more than people normally have to do your research. You didn't even know all my nicknames. How many units do you have to take? 18 and a quarter.
18, this is more than,
more than people normally have to take.
Full load Scott, I need a full load.
You need a full load.
I need a full load.
You need book smart dogs.
I need a full load cause we coming.
But I would think that you would want people
just to take like, you know, football.
How many units is this?
Three or four?
What? How many units is football? Three or four? What?
How many units is football?
It's not a class, guy.
It's not, really, you don't get any credit?
It's not a class, it's a kennel,
cause I need dogs, and I got dogs on my teeth, all right?
Why are your kids leaving then?
Are they turning pro or?
Yeah, they turning pro.
They turning pro just like old dad.
So who are they gonna play for?
Do you know yet?
Shit, I don't know.
Oops, I cussed.
I don't normally do that.
I'm a man of God.
I mean, we have the Super Bowl.
Did it, was it yesterday or is it coming up this weekend?
I'm not quite sure.
Let me look at the schedule here.
Yeah, you tell me.
All I know is, deal or no deal, I don't come home at night and I'm excited for that.
Cause that's going to be for the dogs.
We had the Grammys last night.
No, Super Bowl is this Sunday.
Super Bowl is this Sunday? Yeah. Oh right. And the Grammys was last night. Yeah, the Grammys of course. No, Super Bowl is this Sunday. Super Bowl is this Sunday?
Yeah.
Oh, right, and the Grammys was last night.
Yeah, the Grammys of course.
Shout out to Shaboosie, man.
Of course, we gotta get that out of the way.
First of all, shout out to Shaboosie, a dog.
He a dog on that microphone.
Shout out, who else won last night, man?
I mean, probably Prince was given one of those
lifetime achievements.
Lifetime achievements, shout out Prince, man. A dead dog. A dead dog, he was a dog though. He was shut up, Prince, man. Yeah. A dead dog.
A dead dog. He was a dog though.
He was a dog when he was around. Now he a dead dog.
Yeah. He's riding his bike everywhere.
Prince riding his bike.
Yeah. He used to ride his bike to go get those prescriptions.
I didn't know that, Scott. I didn't know that.
Yeah. Well, Mo, do you want to play?
I mean.
I would love to play. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking to do something new. I'm a mom. you want to play? I mean- I would love to play.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm looking to do something new.
I'm a mom.
I just feel like I need to like change things up a bit.
You a mom?
Yeah.
A mom dog.
I need a mother dog.
I'm a mother dog.
I need a mother dog on the team.
Cause you got a lot of young boys on this team
that need mother dogs.
Yeah.
A lot of young dogs, a lot of puppies.
Yeah. A lot of little pups.
A little pups.
Who need to be disciplined.
Who need to be disciplined.
I'll teach them how to roll around.
You need to grab them by the nape of the neck.
Yeah, are you sort of akin to a pop-a-dog?
I'm a big dog.
You're a big dog.
Yeah, I'm a dog, man.
Scott, you look good.
Okay, thank you.
So the Buffalo, is this, where's the team located?
Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
This is confusing.
Buffalo, Colorado, where are you? Colorado, Buffalo. The Buffalo's an this, where's the team located? Is it Buffalo? Boulder, Colorado. This is confusing.
Buffalo, Colorado, where are you?
Colorado, Buffalo.
Buffalo's an animal's guy.
I know.
It ain't just a town in upstate New York.
It's where my friend OJ used to play though, Buffalo.
Oh yeah, OJ was a dog, man.
OJ was a dog.
Yeah.
I tell you, he's just running through the airport.
Yeah, with that suitcase. Shout out Shabuzy, man. Yeah, I tell you, he's just running through the airport. Yeah, with that suitcase.
Shout out Shabuzy, man.
Yeah, that's a good point.
He won a Grammy last night.
Yeah, he was running through with the suitcase,
with the Isotona gloves.
He tried to combine all of his product placement
into one commercial.
Yep.
Carrying...
Wearing the Bruno Mollies.
Wearing the Bruno Molliesys carrying a Cutco knife.
Past a naked gun, 33 in a third poster.
Just get them all in there.
Um, so how, how, I mean, obviously football season is just concluded.
Huh?
Uh, rest in peace to football season as well. It just concluded and-
It's concluded next week when the Superbowl happens.
Sure.
But I mean, your season's over, right?
My season's over.
Yeah.
It's this college football season is over. Yeah. College football's but I mean your season's over, right? My season's over, yeah.
College football season is over.
College football's in the fall.
So you're gearing up.
Gearing up for the next season, baby, and I need those.
I'm recruiting.
What was your record this year?
Nine and four.
Nine and four.
Do you only play 13 games?
That's it.
That's all you need, lucky number 13.
I mean, anyone can do 13 of anything.
Yeah.
And speaking of 13, shout out to Shaboosie
for winning 13 Grammys last night.
Shout out to him.
But you know what I mean?
Like it sounds hard playing football,
like, oh my God, we can do that,
but it's only 13 games.
It's not like baseball where they play-
We've done 13 shows in a week.
It's not a problem.
We're breaking off a new hundo here.
I mean, it's not like playing basketball, 82 games, ugh, God.
So you know that, but you didn't know that,
you think it's confusing.
You know that basketball has 82 games a season,
but you think it's confusing that our mascot is a buffalo.
Look, who knows why I know what I know.
I do remember Michael Jordan wearing a 72 and 10 hat.
Yes. So that's why I know it's 82 games, because you add 10 to 72 and 10 hat. Yes.
So that's why I know it's 82 games,
because you add 10 to 72 and there you have it.
That's what you got.
That's what you got, yeah.
And that's the best record ever.
Is that still the case?
No, that is not the case no more.
Someone beat that record?
Go to State Warriors, got Steph Curry and them boys,
and them boys is dogs.
How many did they lose?
A nine.
They lost nine.
73 and nine.
Wow, incredible.
You think anyone will ever go 74 and eight?
I'm sure they will.
But right now, and that team didn't win the championship,
you see.
Yeah.
They got taken down by LeBron James, a dog.
A total dog.
And that's who won those 16 games
and then they lost the Super Bowl.
That was a New England Patriots, Tom Brady.
That's right, yeah, A total dog, right?
Yep.
A total dog.
Why didn't you, did you ever go into broadcasting?
I did.
How'd you do?
Great.
Why aren't you still doing it?
Because I coach football now, Scott, I need dogs.
There wasn't enough dogs in the broadcast booth.
Well, it seems to me like you got Chris Collinsworth.
Not a dog.
Really?
Not a dog.
Not a dog. Al Michaels, not a dog. What about Aikman? Troy Aikmanworth. Not a dog. Really? Not a dog.
Not a dog. Al Michaels, not a dog.
What about Aikman?
Troy Aikman, definitely not a dog.
And that's my man.
We won Super Bowls together.
You were on a team together?
We were.
Which one?
So you know that basketball has 82 games,
but you don't know that I was on the Cowboys.
You were on the Cowboys?
I was.
Wow.
Won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys. You won two with usboys? I was. Wow. I won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys.
You won two with us.
Wow.
Incredible.
Was Emmett Smith on that team?
He was.
See, I know that.
So you know that, but you don't know that I was on that team.
Sorry.
Scott, when I was walking in here, you know what started barking at me?
Dogs.
Dogs.
What kind of dogs you got up there, Scott?
I think if the question is, do you know what started barking at me, the answer is always
going to be dogs. Scott, I started walking, I was walking down the stairs, you know what started barking at me? The answer is always going to be dogs.
Scott, I started walking, I was walking down the stairs, you know what started barking
at me?
A random woman.
Oh, okay.
She said, get out this yard.
What were you doing in her yard?
I'm looking for dogs.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
They call me the dog catcher.
Do they really?
Yeah, now they do.
Add it to the list.
Okay, we're going to add it to Neon, Dion, Prime Time, Coach Prime, and now the dog catcher.
Yeah, the dog catcher.
That's right.
So how do you think you're gonna do this year?
I think we're gonna do great, Scott,
because we got Mo coming in.
Mo's gonna be our starting quarterback.
Yep.
Starting.
She's taking over for Shadoor.
So who do you hope Shadoor plays for?
When do we have the draft coming?
The draft is coming.
Okay, so the Grammys was last night?
Yeah, and the Super Bowls this Sunday.
Super Bowls this Sunday? The draft will be in April.
Okay, so that puts it into perspective.
The draft will be in late April.
The draft is always approximately two months after the Grammys?
Two months after the Grammys.
Yeah, okay. So that's how we can always calculate it.
Night for the Dolls. Speaking of the Grammys, shout out Shibuzy, man. Yeah, of course. We got to make sure we get that out of the Grammy. Yeah, okay, so that's how we can always calculate it. Night full of dogs. Speaking of the Grammy, shout out Shibuzy, man.
Yeah, no, yes, of course.
We gotta make sure we get that out of the way.
I was jamming Shibuzy for two months straight.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't even know what Shibuzy is.
That's another lapse.
What Shibuzy is?
First of all, Shibuzy is a man.
Second of all, Shibuzy is a dog.
He swept the Grammys last night.
He swept them, every single one? Every single Grammy.
Wow, best new artist?
Best new artist. Best country?
Best old artist. Best country artist. Best pop artist.
Wow.
Best rap artist.
Incredible, Shaboosie.
Best classical artist.
Shout out to a person that I'm finding out is a man and a dog.
Beethoven Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Shaboosie.
Beethoven finally got something named after him.
What wasn't in Grammys good last night?
They were amazing.
What was your favorite performance?
Shaboosie.
He swept not only the awards, but the performances.
He did all the performances.
Yeah.
He's a dog.
He is a true dog.
Well, I have no aptitude for sports in general.
What you want to know Scott?
You got an aptitude test to take? Yeah, do I? Is there some sort of barrier for entry? Do I need
to take a test? You got to take a test. Okay, what's, can you test me right now? The dog test.
The dog test. All right. How many games did Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls win 1996-97? 72. Wow.
Who did I play for in the NFL? Well, I know you played for the Cowboys.
And who else?
Buffalo.
No.
All right, I failed.
I failed the test.
Scott, what baseball team did you grow up rooting for?
The LA Dodgers.
The LA Dodgers.
That was my home team, yeah.
And who was the pitcher the year you graduated high school?
Year I graduated high school.
And how far did they go the year you graduated high school? They won the World Series the year you graduated high school. The year I graduated high school. And how far did they go the year you graduated high school?
They won the World Series the year after.
So I would imagine they didn't do very well the year before.
Is that how it works?
Actually, I was thinking of the year after that.
I was aging you down.
Turns out you are older.
But you look good though.
Thank you so much.
Yes, I do remember being in a production
of the musical Evita and the entire crew
was listening to Game Seven, was it, of the musical Evita, and the entire crew was listening to Game 7,
was it, of the World Series, backstage,
and then the show Evita was interrupted by a roar
of crew members clapping and cheering.
And who was the closer on that team?
That guy who, you know, the crack of the bat.
Well, you're thinking of Kurt Gibson.
Is that the guy who did the grand slam?
Who was the closing pitch on that team? His name rhymes with his sexual act.
Uh, Oral? Oral Hersheys. Yeah, you got it. You got it as an adult.
Am I doing well on the test? That's question one.
All of that was question one. So I don test? That's question one. All of that was question one.
So I don't.
That's question one.
Okay.
Give me, give me question two.
Question number two.
How many games in a, in a baseball season?
See now I feel like it's the most out of any sport, right?
So it's like, it's like 165.
I'm going to guess.
Close.
Really?
Was it?
The merit 162. Oh, okay. So I was really close. Ooh, close. Really, was I? Demerit, 162.
Oh, really?
Okay, so I was really close.
Whoa.
One for two, Scott.
Okay, but it's still, I get no points for being close.
And by the way, how did I get a complete point
on that first question when I got so many of them wrong?
I don't make the rules, Scott.
Okay, all right.
Scott, who is the Cincinnati baseball team?
Baseball team, I know.
It's a color. I know it's a color.
I don't want to say it.
It's a color.
I don't, I don't, uh, I mean, is it, is it based?
Is it like the former, uh, Washington team where it's based on a, a supposed
I shan't say,
it's the, it's the reds, but all right. But is it just like the color reds?
Yep. Okay. They were literally known as the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Oh okay. So like the
Red Sox but stockings. Yes. Like those things that Santa puts coal into. Absolutely Scott. What you
will be getting a lot of is the Grammys was last night. So in about nine months, you'll be getting a lot of gold in your stock.
On Thanksgiving?
Yes.
You get it early, Scott.
Give me question three.
You get in a red sock full of tryptophan.
Just tryptophan.
Yeah, the actual tryptophan.
Give me question three.
All right, you ready for it?
Yeah, here we go.
What is a baseball made of?
Okay, this is question four, by the way. I know it's... You're one for three right now. It's
supposedly got... No, I got number three, right? Not in my book. Okay. It's got cork in the middle,
right? All right. And then a bunch of string wrapped around it. You got it. You got it, Scotty.
And then leather all over that.
You got it.
Yeah.
How much, what does a football feel like
when it's thrown to you?
Like a sack full of communion wifers.
You got it, Scotty.
Okay, am I in?
You a damn dog, Scotty.
Am I on the team?
Did I make the team? You're on the team.
You're on the team.
Okay, what position do I get to play?
Well, Mo's the quarterback. Okay. So position do I get to play? Well, Mo's a quarterback.
Okay.
So you, I put you at long snapper.
Well, long snapper, there's a difference between
short snappers and long snappers?
Yes, Scott, see, all right.
That was question number six.
And you got it wrong.
Okay.
And that was the one you needed to get back.
So I'm off the team now?
Off the team, you're good.
Damn it.
I need dogs.
I guess I didn't want to be long snapper anyway.
I feel like the blood must rush to those guys' heads.
You know, they're like sitting there with their head between their knees
and then just waiting for a guy to go like, do the right emphasis on hut.
What Scott?
They're dizzy.
Here's a better way of doing it.
Let the person turn around and just toss it to the guy.
Why does it have to go through the legs? This is the weirdest part of football. I actually so agree with it
Why do they have to do it that way because that's cool. It's cool. Yeah, I didn't realize that
Did Shaboosie do stuff like that? Oh Shaboosie was great football player. Shout out Shaboosie man won 27 Grammys last night
Scott yes, who is a male man's worst enemy dogs dogs Shout out to Boozy, man. Won 27 Grammys last night. Scott.
Yes.
Who is a male man's worst enemy?
Dogs.
Dogs, Scott.
Is that question seven?
Yes.
You're back on the deep.
Okay, I don't know.
I wanna play.
If you'll allow me just to turn around
instead of putting my head between my legs.
Nope, you gotta look at your anatomy, Scott.
Gently toss to the quarterback.
Name five breeds of dogs. Pit bull. Nope. You got to look at your nettles. Just gently toss to the quarterback. Name five breeds
of dogs. Pitbull. Wrong. What? That wasn't one of them. That wasn't one of the ones you're thinking
of? Not one of the five. Snickerdoodle? That's a cookie, Scott.
All right. Look, I'm sorry I can't be on the team. Mo, I apologize.
I'm not going to be able to snap it to you.
Who's going to long snap it to me?
Well, Mo, you won't be catching a long snap.
That's for the punter.
Yeah, well, I'll throw to whoever I want.
If it's a long snapper out there, I'm going to throw to him.
Well, those is against the rules.
The longest snapper is the end of who will receive it.
He has to catch it like he's down there to it.
That's how he has to catch it.
Why does the punter ever catch the ball and instead of kicking it, throw a touchdown pass?
He does that. That happens all the time. That's called a fake punch.
That happens all the time. I would do that every time.
You know what Scott? If it was still football season, I would come over to this house
and watch football with you and explain the whole thing to you.
I would love that actually. And you know, we should get together
for the Super Bowl Scott. We should. I should have a party.
I will be in town and you should have a party.
I don't know why the quarterback doesn't do that, too.
Just instead of like, you know, oh, they're handing it off to a runner.
Just throw into the end zone for a touchdown.
That's not it's not that easy.
He's trying to do that every time.
He's throwing these short passes and stuff.
Just throw into the end zone.
You got to march down the field. He's throwing these short passes and stuff. Just throw into the end zone every time.
You gotta march down the field like ants.
If there was a quarterback who did that every time.
That's gonna be me.
That's gonna be Mo on the Buffalo, the Buffalo Mo's.
Yeah, we gotta draw out some plays.
I'm into that.
All right, Coach Prime, Neon Dion, dog catcher,
can you stick around?
Now I got to go, Scott.
I got to get out of here.
No, I want you to stay because-
Scott, I'm looking for dogs.
I know you're looking for dogs,
but our next guest might be a dog.
Really?
Yeah, so we're gonna take a break,
but when we come back, we have the owner and proprietor
of a children's footwear store.
This sounds like a dog to me.
So you're gonna wanna stick around.
Mo, you're gonna wanna stick around, I know.
Oh, I'm in.
And listeners, you're gonna wanna stick around.
We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're here.
Mo Welch, Dad Jokes on Hulu Now,
and the paper coming up at some point
in the indeterminate future.
Yes.
Do you think it's fall or do you think it's spring?
I think it's 2025, That's all I know.
It's in 2025.
Yes.
Okay. So it could be New Year's Eve.
Maybe between the Grammys and the Super Bowl in Thanksgiving.
Perhaps the Super Bowl in Thanksgiving.
The Super Bowl.
I would put it after the Super Bowl if I were you.
Yeah. Okay. Super Bowl in Thanksgiving.
Yeah. Right after. And then also we have a Neon Deon, of course, Coach Prime.
I'm looking for those guys.
Yeah. Did you find any during the commercial break? Well, we got Mo. We goton, of course, Coach Prime. I'm looking for dogs, Scott. Yeah, did you find any during the commercial break?
Well, we got Mo.
We got Colorado Mo, Buffa Mo's.
Has the name of the team next year.
Okay, so are you allowed to change the name of the team?
I'm allowed to do what I want, Scott.
I'm a dog.
Okay, so non-dogs are not allowed to do this.
Non-dogs can't change their names.
So what about cats?
Hell no.
What if a cat wanted to join your team?
Can't do it. I need dogs. I know you need dogs, but would you if a cat wanted to join your team? Can't do it.
I need dogs.
I know you need dogs, but would you take a cat?
It's the truth about cats and dogs.
Okay.
That's a movie.
Janine Garofalo, of course.
Janine Garofalo.
Janine Garofamo.
Colorado mo, Buffalo mo.
Would you consider Mo changing your name
to Janine Garofamo?
I love it.
I think it's gonna help my career.
Yeah, it might. Maybe I won't have to pay for my next docu-eshel. Well, we have to getine Garafamo. I love it. I think it's gonna help my career. Yeah. Maybe I won't have to pay
for my next docu-eshel.
Well, we have to get to our next guest.

Need to be there by seven, open by seven.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's kind of my mom's thing.
Like my mom started it, but it's like,
I've got other stuff going on
that she doesn't kind of get or know about.
And so I'm doing that stuff.
I do the store when I can.
Okay.
Well, you're here to talk about the store
or are you here to talk about the other stuff?
I mean, I'll always talk about the other stuff
because I'm, yeah.
First of all, let's get the store out of the way.
What is the store called?
The store is called Juvenile Bootery.
Wait, but your name is Juvenile Bootery?
My professional name is also Juvenile Bootery. Okay, but this is not juvenile bootery. My professional name is also juvenile bootery.
Okay, but this is not your real name.
My real name is James, Armin Trout.
Armin Trout?
Yeah.
Sort of like Ermin Trout, the character on Better Call Saul?
Sure, yeah, I don't really do TV stuff.
And also like this town, Armin, what was the-

Yeah, yeah, similar to that.
Kind of a portmanteau of Armington and Ermin Trout. Yeah, yeah, similar to that. So kind of a portmanteau of Armington and Ermintrout.
Yeah, yeah, similar to that.
Yeah, so your name is, what was it again?
My name is James.
James.
Armentrout, okay.
So now-
My mom's store is Juvenile Bootery,
but also my professional name's Juvenile Bootery because-
Your professional name in running the store, Juvenile Bootery?
I also do music.
I also do rap.
Oh! Hip hop and rap. Oh. Hip hop and rap.
Oh, hip hop and rap.
Yeah.
But she had the name, she had the Instagram
already, had a lot of followers.
So I'm also taking that kind of over cause it was
just like an, it was a business decision, honestly.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
So I'm also doing rap, but like my focus is rap,
music and, and that stuff, her focus is the store,
but right now I'm just kind of like running the store for her.
Okay, and running the Instagram account as well?
Running the Instagram account, yeah.
How many followers does the account have?
35.97.
That's not a ton, but.
Well, yeah, it's pretty good for a shoe store.
I mean for a shoe store.
Yeah.
I don't know that I would follow a shoe store.
Would you follow, Mo, a shoe store on Instagram?
It depends on what they're giving me.
Like what kind of stuff are you posting?
We got tall shoes for kids.
We got short shoes for kids, flat shoes for kids.
It's like, it's just not my focus, you know?
I'm like, whatever, just like, get your kids some shoes.
But like my focus is gonna be on like, on the music.
Okay, so are you here to talk about the store,
Juvenile Bootery, or your rap career
known as Juvenile Bootery?
I'm here to talk about, well, my mom said
I have to just at least plug the store
because we're having a sale,
we're having a spring sale, it's coming up.
How much are tall shoes for children?
Just, I'm in the market.
Which kind, the leather ones?
Yeah.
They're like $48.
Okay.
Do you have kids boxing boots?
That's basically what they look like.
They're like kids, that's what's in right now for kids.
Kids boxing boots.
Yeah, they're like kids right now wearing boots
that look like boxing shoes.
The kind that you lace up the-
Yeah, they lace up tall, they shuffle around.
That's what I picture when I hear tall shit.
I think like, you know, kind of up to the knee, like, you know.
Up to the knee, up to mid-calf. Like Whitney Houston in the Queen of the Night video.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, I was thinking more like heeled.
Ah, oh, the shoes that make you taller.
They make you taller.
Yeah, that's not specific.
Are they shoes that make you taller or the shoes themselves are very tall?
We have shoes that make kids taller because a lot of kids want to be taller now.
So we have shoes with lifts in them.
I don't-
So they're like high heeled shoes for kids now?
Yeah, kids wear high heels now.
Yeah, my daughter mentioned wanting to be a little taller.
So I might stop by.
But I'm here-
The Sceelo effect.
But I'm more into like the music thing just because that's kind of my thing.
Speaking of Sceelo, yeah.
So should we talk about your hip hop career?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm open book.
Okay, so Dion, you're into the music style known as hip hop and rap.
Absolutely, man.

Because nobody's asking right now,
but I'm like always asked.
I'm always down to it.
Seems like you came here wanting to talk about this,
wanting to talk about your hip hop career.
You wouldn't get back to me when I said the rap stuff
and then I sent the shoe stuff
and because you got a kid, I guess you had me on.
Well, to be honest, I was kind of interested
in what style, you know, junior styles were coming up in the spring sale and we got little ones.
We got, they're all pretty little.
Do you have kids chug of boots?
Yeah, we got those.
We got kid hugs.
We got kid penny loafers.
We got kid tap shoes.

Kid tap shoes too.
And kid wingtips. Wingtips. Kid wingtips like young Cal Jackson. Kid tap shoes too. Kid wing tips. Wing tips. Kid wing tips like young
Cal Calaway. We got kid spats for the wing tips. Is Cal Calaway wearing wing tips even when he was
a young kid? Absolutely. Do you guys have baby cleats? Yeah we got all sport shoes for kids.
I just think the shoe thing is not. That's not my thing. Do you sell shoelaces? Yeah, we tell shoelaces
Okay, so these short and short shoelaces. Yeah, we have shorts. We have medium shorts and we have long shorts
So you're only up to the waist. Yeah
Socks
Yeah, we got to sell some shot we sell fitting socks and we sell some socks with the shoes
Especially the tall boots the boxing boxing boots. Pants?
No, we don't sell pants.
But shorts are allowed?
Oh, I thought you meant short socks.
Oh, so only up to the knee then?
Right.
Okay, so no shorts?
No shorts, no.
Okay, but if say I wanted to come in,
I was like, I'm looking for some shoes and some socks,
but also I need some shorts as well for my kid.
I don't know, man.
What would you do like in that kind of hypothetical situation?
If you want what, short socks for your kid?
For his dog? No, I want socks.
I want shorts and I want shoes altogether,
but you don't sell shorts.
What do you do?
I would be like, go next door, man.
Wait, what's next door?
7-Eleven.
7-Eleven?
7-Eleven don't got pants.
Believe me, I tried.
Seven-eleven should start selling pants.
Absolutely.
They got nice hats in there.
They sell hats and t-shirts.
Mm-hmm.
What are they?
Stop at the waist as well?
CBS has underwear.
I know.
Wrong sizes though.
So you always have to size up or size down?
You got to size up.
So, okay. So I wanted to know about the shoes.
You've satisfied my curiosity.
Let's go ahead and move on to the rap.
Oh, great.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's what kind of my thing.
Have you recorded any songs?
Yeah, I've recorded over 600 songs.
Damn.
601.
600, 600 and like somewhere between 600 and 605 songs, summer demos.
So I don't fully consider those like releases yet. Okay. So. And one, six hundred, six hundred and like somewhere between six hundred and six hundred
and five songs, summer demos.
So I don't fully consider those like releases yet.
Okay.
So you can find me on Spotify.
They're all on Spotify.
They're all on spot.
All six hundred and one, two, three or four or five.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So do you want to perform one of your songs?
Yeah, definitely.
But what one do you want to hear?
I don't know the titles to any of
your songs. You can look on Spotify. I don't want to look on Spotify. I want you to perform a song
that you choose. Okay, all right this one's probably my best track. Well yeah, play that one.
This one's called Don't Come Around Here.
Uh, don't come around here. Well, everybody's coming in here to tell me what us up.
And I'm like, get the heck out!
Because you don't even have these kind of shoes that you want for your kid.
This one's small, this one's short.
This one's not even the kind you want.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bam!
Pa-pa-pow!
Oh, fuck.
This is not the type of place that you want to come in and get in my face. Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,
pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,
pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,
pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,
pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, that it's not your boozy, but let's go into detail. Mo, are you a music fan?
I think we found our Long Snapper, that's all I'll say.
Long Snapper's not a bad rap name.
Yeah, I mean, I need a new name, but like that one was like-
Well, let's talk about it.
I mean, first of all, it seemed to be about the shoe store.
Yeah. Do you think that has a lot of crossover appeal?
A lot of people come in here and they don't know.
They don't even come in here. What do you mean?
Like into the shoe store.
They know I'm like, I'm like, hey, man, get out.
I'm about to break the wrap off.
I'm about to get a kid a sign off.
I'm about to get a rhyme in here.
I'm about to get a time in here.
Look left right Oh
Mom spaghetti it is coming up already
Bam I got a rap name for you
What's that shoesy
Shoesy not bad. You can sort of piggyback off of Shoe Zee's popularity. I don't get it.
Well, you sell shoes.
You sell shoes, though.
Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know.
You would probably have to continue working at the store
or were you to take that name?
I gotta work at the store
because my mom says I have to work at the store, but.
How old are you?
Me?
Yeah. 19.
Who do you think I'm talking to?
What'd I say, how old are you?
I thought you were talking to him.
I'm 56. You're 19. I'm talking to you, what the hell do you want? I thought you were talking to him. I'm 56.
You're 19.
I'm 19.
And you're still letting your mom tell you what to do?
Yeah, I live there.
You gotta respect your mom's good.
Sure, but are you paying rent?
At the store?
I live at the store.
You live at the store?
Yeah, I live in the back of the store.
So why, okay, for free?
Yeah, because I'm, yeah, because, well,, there's Yeah, I live in the store for free.
Because my mom says I can't live at home anymore. But then
sometimes like, Hey, what the heck? There's guys breaking in.
I got a bang, bang, bang. But mo you down? Mo you down? Don't
come around here. I'm a clown. Mo are you down?
I'm excited to go shop at the shoe store for shoes. Yeah. When do you not work? When do I not work? Yeah, what are the hours of, because it's 10 to
4. 10 to 4, but then I'm there all the time because my studio's in the back.
Right. Mm-hmm. Are there any other employees here? It's just me and my mom.
Yeah. So could we come maybe when your mom is there running the place?
Don't talk.
Don't talk to my mom.
She's not the kind that wants to talk.
She is the kind that wants to yell, yell, yell.
What the hell?
I like that one.
I mean, it had the most rhymes out of anything you've done so far,
but I will say that one of your signature moves seems to be a heavy sigh at the end of all of your songs.
You got to have confidence, man.
I have more confidence.
It's just that you guys haven't provided any beats, so I don't really-
We're not supposed to provide beats for our guests.
My flow is based on beats, and if you guys don't even provide beats
I'm just okay. Do you want us to try to try to do some sort of beat? Yeah. Okay
I can wrap up here. Absolutely any beat I can wrap up any beat. All right
Here it comes up and down here it comes
Look out! Here it comes up and down.
Here it comes sock.
All these socks are pretty tall.
All these boots are very small.
Child's boots.
Child socks.
Everything is on sale.
Look out!
There's a guy with a mask.
He's trying to get in back.
I pulled out a gun.
Bowed him down and that was fun mom okay let me stop you
for a second you killed somebody down and it was fun yeah I killed somebody
that tried breaking the shoe store why are so many people trying to break into
the store that's the thing they only. You only sell kids' shoes. Everybody tries to break in. It's in West Covina. You got to do no cash. Yeah. Although that's not good for the
people in society who don't have credit cards. That's what I was going to say right after.
But still, it's an option for you. And why are they always trying to break through the
back too? In the mall. That means they had to go through the service hallway.
Are you at the Eastman mall in West Covina? But yeah, back of the store, my room is in the back
of the store, so that's where they always try to come in through the service hallway. Because they,
why? That still doesn't make sense. They want to go through your room? Well, they want to go,
because well, I keep my door open to the hallway just so I can have some place to breathe in.
Okay, so your door is open.
That's why they're breaking in.
Yeah, but people try to come through the back
and I don't like it.
So you've killed someone.
I've definitely killed someone
who's tried to come into the back of the store.
You can't just break into a house.
But your door is open.
But you just can't come in.
But an open door implies that anyone can go in and out.
Bang, bang, bang, pistols hot.
Bang, bang, bang, I'm on the spot.
Don't try to come in here.
My bed is there, my shoes are there,
my poster's there, my stuff is here.
There's no cash in the register now,
I took it to the bank, because that's what I do.
Oh, fuck.
I'm the cops are here.
Cops are clearly not on my side.
Back the blue.
Not me.
Ba-ba-ba.
Are you shooting cops?
He shot the cops though.
He gave me a shooting cop.
Ba-ba-ba.
You can't be shooting cops man.
I'll shoot cops if I fucking want.
I'm a guy that you can't be stopped.
I'm from the street.
You're from the shoe store.
I'm from the store.
But at the store we sell the shoes for the street.
The street will get up on the speed.
I don't respect cops. Cops don't respect me. When
they start to respect me, then I'll bend a knee. So that's why you better chalk this guy out.
That body is laid out. Bang, bang.
Now that was like more of a stabbing motion.
That was like more of a stabbing motion. The listener couldn't see it, but yeah, you were sort of either jabbing at someone with
your gun or...
But gun ran out of bullets.
I have to think fast.
Stab with a gun if I have to last in this life of wild crime.
Oh, what a time.
Drop the beat, drop it hard.
Everybody is looking around.
It's Scotland Yard.
Scotland Yard, don't bring Scotland Yard into this.
I don't like any kinds of cops,
British ones or American ones.
How do you feel about Sherlock Holmes?
Was he a cop?
Well, he's a private investigator.
Oh, yeah, private eyes, I'm all right with.
Okay, you're okay with us But elementary, my dear dog.
You know, this raises a good question.
Why don't they sharpen the ends of guns so you can stab people with it
when you run out of bullets?
They used to do that.
Did they really?
Yeah, back in the day.
Well, the bayonets, they had knives on them, but does that affect the aim?
By the way, like a knife is so heavy.
It's like, you got to raise your gun up a little higher in order to shoot something. And the bullet comes out like a rainbow. I don't know juvenile bootery what was your name again?
Juvenile bootery. But what was your real name? James. James yeah Shabootsie. James Arm what?
Arm and Trout. Yeah Yeah. I don't know.
I mean, weirder things have happened, you know?
What do you mean?
You getting famous.
Oh, I'm not down to get famous, Scott.
I just want to put out my art and put out-
Well, you're doing that.
Yeah.
So you should be happy.
It's not about fame.
It's not about fame.
Why aren't you happy?
I'm happy.
I'm so happy.
You're frowning right now.
I'm so happy.
Like it takes so many muscles to frown.
Takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.
Oh, what?
Here's another thing about your style.
You say a really engaging first line
and then you can never rhyme with it.
You just kind of say something like, oh, what?
Or, huh?
The hook is the first part of any good rap is,
the first line of any good rap is what gets you hooked.
You can't even say your motto correctly.
The first line sets it up
and the second line takes it down.
Oh.
Yeah, see, this is part of what I'm talking about.
I don't know, I mean, but hey, look, I wish you luck.
Thank you.
How much money does the store make?
The store? Yeah, my mom's doing very well. The store right now makes anywhere between 150 and $200,000.
Holy shit, your mom sounds awesome.
How much is she spending? Like, what are the costs?
The costs are very low. The costs are very low.
The shoes are very small.
She signed a lease like several decades ago?
She owns them all.
She owns them all.
Oh, okay.
Why does she even then have the store?
Shoes are her passion.
Shoes are her passion.
Yeah.
For children.
Like rap is my passion.
Feed the children.
They need, they need our help.
Wisdom, truth, and all of that that
is on the shelf do you need help but back why don't you get a partner you
know like how my Ryan Lewis oh really I had a part it was Ryan Lewis no Ryan
Lewis was my first partner really and he moved on to Macklemore? He worked at the shoe store.
He worked, he moved on to the best, Macklemore.
Macklemore is the best.
And I'm just trying to get, get to the Macklemore level.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I mean, you're a Shaboosie fan.
I like Shaboosie.
Yeah. What if Ryan Lewis and Shaboosie started working together?
Wow.
That'd be an unstoppable team.
Two dogs.
Two dogs. Two dogs.
But maybe you should get some other partner
or at least, you know, a hype man or something like that.
Yeah, I'm completely open for that.
Like someone to do your raps for you
while you just kind of like make poses.
Can you make like a fun pose or anything like that?
Like that?
Well, I mean, you're crossing your arms. How about this?
That's sassy. You put your hands on your hips, stuck your butt out a little bit.
Very Mary-Kate and Ashley. So little time.
Hey, what the heck? These two girls look the same. maybe they are twins and maybe they have the same name
We got it. We keep mixing them up
We keep mixing them up. Which one is the other one? The other one is the sister. Okay, mister
Me at least we're out of the shoe store. That's what I
The only one that wasn't in the shoe store
were out of the shoe store. That's the only one that wasn't in the shoe store. Maybe writing about these other subject matters. Yeah, I'm just like I'm trying to cultivate more life experience so
that I can put that into my stuff, but right now it's mostly shoe store based. I mean you work at
the shoe store, you live at the shoe store, you get robbed at the shoe store. Sometimes I don't
get robbed, sometimes I play a trick.
I'll go around to the back of the mall.
And when those guys try to break in, I set a trap.
I call the cops.
The cops will show up and arrest them before they even get
in the back of the store.
Bang.
So you shot them the first time.
Within the second time, you call the cops up.
And you didn't like the cops the last time.
You were going to shoot them, but now you're working in tandem with them.
Sometimes the cops could be a help, especially if it's dark.
Cut it out, guys.
Get in here.
I'm not a frigging narc.
This guy broke in.
He wanted the stuff.
I'm here to tell you that.
Help me out.
I'm tough.
This is what hip hop is missing, is nuance about the police.
Some of the guys, they're all right. Some of the guys are okay. One of the guys is a
big jerk who never shows up when I call. And I'm like, hey, what's up? What does this number
mean? 911. Remember that. I called it and you didn't show up. So I gotta take things into my hands
Bang bang bang
Hear the bullets drop. Hear the gun stab. Hear everybody is now dead. Oh
Everybody's dead now. It's the worst thing that a police officer can do is not show up
Yeah, sometimes I call and they don't show up. So I have to take things into my own hands.
Yeah.
Well, uh, what was your name again?
Juvenile bootery.
Juvenile.
No, I know the juvenile bootery part.
Uh, Jordan Armantrout, James Armantrout.
It's confusing.
Yeah.
Jor- James Jordan Armantrout.
I sometimes say my middle name too.
Oh, were you named after the shoe?
Michael Jordan.
The Michael Juven juvenile Air Jordan.
They make small ones.
They make, yeah.
It's, it's a shame to spend that much money on a shoe and then they grow out of
it within like three months.
Yeah.
That's kind of the, that's how my mom makes so much money.
Cause you sell a kid a shoe one week and the kid's bigger than the next
week they come back in.
Yeah.
No, like adult shoes, you buy one pair, you're good for life.
Yeah.
Your foot doesn't grow after that.
It's a good business model, but so is rap.
Yeah, I don't think so. Anyway, we're running out of time. Would it surprise you to hear your segment is over?
We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course,
a little something called Plugs.
Hey, Scott, where else is somewhere you like to go?
