Music Squirtle My Whirtle and Cudloose My Girdle live from New York at Saturday night Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Hmm. All right. Thank you so much to Side of McG2. Oh yeah, Side of McG2. Wonderful catchphrase, Superstar.

And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. Backyard era continues possibly last week. We've heard some drilling. We've heard some hammering. We've heard some garbage trucks. The axis of evil have converged upon the backyard era. Who knows? That's the last one, but it's been wonderful to be out here in nature.

You can hear all that little hammering, can't you? A nice man with his cute hammer. Maybe it's a woman, although. Why am I saying that the hammer is a man? Who knows? We have a great show. My name is Scott Ackerman, by the way. We have a great show coming up a little later.

We have someone from the food industry. We have someone on a food TV show. That's very exciting. We have someone in the medical profession. So a really interesting collection of people. Did I say my name is Scott Ackerman? I'm not sure. But before we get to them, let's talk to a good friend of ours who came by today.

I'm struggling to remember any of her details, but please welcome back Kayla Dickey. Hi, Scott. It's me. I'm back. I know you probably missed me. It's been a while. It's been a few years. Has it been a few years?

It's been a few years. I don't remember. Walk us through exactly who you are again. Okay. So my name is Kayla Dickey. I am from Montrose, Colorado. Basically, I have always fallen for men who have big trucks. Right.

That's your thing. If they have a big truck, then they're worth dating, in my opinion. And you're obsessed with the Ford? Ford Rock Card series. Yes. So one of my first boyfriends, Cart, he had the Ford Rock Card 350. He had the 350. The 350.

The Rock Card 350. Rock Card 350. And that was initially he hit on me by yelling at me from his big truck, which is my preferred way to hit on. Your preferred courtship. Ritual. Yeah. It's just super romantic to me.

What did he yell at you again? He yelled, I think he said, smile for me. Smile for me. What? Sounds like he's like Bob Fosse talking to one of his dancers or something. He's a damn girl. You're asking for it. Oh, okay.

So you like that? I love that. Oh, okay. Great. So that actually, that always works for me. That's why I kind of walk the streets and I sort of wait for people to yell at me like that. Oh, okay.

That because I saw you walking the streets and I was like, Kayla, hey, do you want to come on the show? That didn't work. It didn't work. That's why I waited a few years to come on. Okay. But yeah. And then obviously.

Get closer to that black thing right in front of you. What do you say? You can talk right into it. Yeah, exactly. A big, long black thing. It's sort of an awkward level. Well, adjusted then. Well, I don't understand.

Silk on descending. I love it. So you, what you want is you want it to be set up before you get here perfectly at your mouth level and then you just sit down into it. Well, I just think that there should be some thought about, like, what is this part? It's the mic stand. Who cares? Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Obviously we need to talk about Judd. Oh. Before we finish talking about me. Now, Judd Webe. Is that his name?

Judd Webe. So he was formerly the mayor of Montrose, Colorado. Right. I worked as one of his assistants, me and my girls, all my friends. You were all, he had a lot of assistants. A lot of assistants. Right. And basically he started a fire because he left multiple curling irons on and burned down

the town. And then the entire town. Other than the Chicago fire where Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over that candle. I don't think I've ever heard of an entire town being burned down. Well, it burned to the ground. Wow. And then he fled. He ran up the now aptly named the Judd Webe Trail.

Right. And he was living as a bear. Right. In a bear costume. Right. And I basically would take turns, take shifts with all my girls. We now work at David's Bridal. Obviously we needed to get a new job.

Right. So you all, you collectively got a new job. We did. We work as a crew. A lot of places don't hire five people at a time. Well, this really worked out for us because his Judd Webe's former wife, Merg, owns David's Bridal. Owns David's Bridal.

Oh, but who's David in this situation? Well, it's a franchise. Oh, okay. Wake up. Smell the coffee. I'm not, I haven't been in the Bridal business for, you know, you know, 15 years or so. So. Well, there's some really good stuff out there.

Oh, okay. Some really beautiful. Oh, I'll check it out now. So. We'll get married again. What do you think? I don't know. I mean, is that what you want?

I hear there's some really great stuff out there. What's going on with you and Kulap? Everything's good. Oh, you know Kulap. Oh, yeah. I met her when I was coming in. Oh, okay. She welcomes all of our guests.

Gives them a gift. She gave me water. Yeah. Yeah. She was great about that. She, yeah, she, she refuses to get bottled water for people. It's only tap. It's only tap.

Yeah. But she serves it in a water bottle. Yeah. It's very, yeah. She has a funnel just for that purpose. Yeah. Which I've heard it's bad for you to refill like plastic water bottles, like the plastic goes into the water.

I've heard that too, but she doesn't care. Yeah. And in fact, you know, she, it's not really a funnel. It's actually the original Tin Man's head from the Wizard of Oz, the 1930. My God. Yeah. She bought it just to pour water into water bottles. That must have been so expensive.

Yeah. It was crazy. We got the ruby slippers too, but she wears those around the house. Okay. Good for her. I'm proud of you guys. Yeah. So anyway, basically this time I'm on the show, Scott, because it is truck week.

Truck week. It's truck week. Truck week. I can't tell if you're saying truck week or truck week. Truck. Truck week. Truck week. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

So it's truck week. The best what? The best fucking week of the fucking year. Okay. What happens in truck week? And is this exclusively in Montrose, Colorado? It is. Basically everybody with a big truck in all of southwestern Colorado desends on Montrose

for truck week. Really? I feel like the, what do you call that, when all the motor bikers went out there and got COVID? What are we talking about? It's exactly like that. Okay. But it's people with trucks.

And equally anti-vax crowd. Oh, great. Are you part of that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But you showed me your vaccination, like your car. Yeah.

It's a fake car. That's forged. Oh, forged. Yeah. Okay. Because basically my new boyfriend, not to like drop this on you, but I know the last time I was here, I was engaged to Judd. Yeah.

Because you found Judd up there, he was, he put on a bear suit and he was, he was on the Judd Weebie Trail scaring people off. Yes. And I found him and I brought him back to town and we were together dating all of us, me and my girls and Judd. Was he still as a bear during all of that? Yes. So going to restaurants as a bear.

We were his cubs. He fucked his cubs. You fucked his cubs? What? We were his cubs. Oh, okay. He fucked us. Okay, great.

So he was fucking his cubs. He was fucking his cubs. You did it. It's not complicated. Okay. So basically, yeah, we, I had to break up with Judd because it was a huge thing. He said that he had the Ford Rock Card 450 and that's why me and my girls were like, well, we got to be with him.

So I left Cart for Judd. Oh no. And then I find out that he actually lied. He had the 400. He didn't even have the 450. No. And what did Cart have? He had the 350.

So obviously it's still like, it's better, but at that point I was like, wow, if somebody comes along with a 450, like I'm out. I'm leaving. Right. Yeah. And bam. My new boyfriend, Chart comes along. Chart?

Is that what he said? It's like Shark with a T. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, or it's like Chart. Chart. Chart. Yeah.

Okay. So Chart, Chart, were you walking down the street and Chart spied you and yeah, and what did he yell at you? He yelled, hey, you stupid little bitch. Cool. Climb on up here. Climb on up here. Yeah.

And he was talking about his 450. Yeah. So I climbed up the 10 foot tall wheels and I got in and he had so many cool, slouchy beanies. What are slouchy beanies? Are those like beanie babies? Because I know people have like beanie babies in the back of the, in their like hatchbacks and stuff like that.

Oh yeah. No, that's what they are. They're really long beanie babies. Yeah. And they're called slouchy babies because they, they can't help but bend over. Slouchy beanies. Slouchy beanies. Yeah.

So he has a bunch of stuffed animals just in the back there. Oh. And they're kind of piled up on top of each other and in the back. Interesting guy this Chart is. He's pretty cool. And where does he do for a living? Do you mind talking about him a little bit? Yeah.

So this is what I was going to say. He makes forged Vax cards. Oh, wow. Okay. That's got to be big business. It's really good money. These days. It's huge.

Wow. So, and, and basically we've been dating for about a year. Okay. So now it's, and lo and behold, I met him at, I met him at truck week last year. Oh my God. Okay. So now it's truck week of this year. And I'm always single for truck week.

Okay. So you broke up with him. So I broke up with him. Okay. And how did he take that? How did Chart feel about that? He was like, well, I get it. If there's another guy out there with a bigger truck, like you have to go.

Right. And we go, no. So has the 500 model come out at this point? The 500 is rumored to be out on the message board. Rumored to be out. It's rumored to be out. And you say they're bigger. So each, each time they make a new model, they grow in size.

Right. Normally they only go up by 50. So it's like 400, 300, 350, 450, 550, et cetera. But because of the pandemic, production was changed. And so yeah, if you can believe it. So the last model is the 450. And you say, are they going up to 550? Well, that's what I'm thinking.

I actually think it's rumored to be out that the 500 is around. And I normally would be like, absolutely not. But because like truck production is so low right now, I actually would go with somebody who had a 500. Okay. Wait. So it's rumored the 500 is out. You haven't even seen one.

No, I haven't. Have you seen one? No, but you would go with someone, even though it's not a 550, which is not rumored to be out. Well, I'm not quite sure. I mean, it might be rumored to be out. Oh, okay. It might be rumored to be out, but the 500 is definitely rumored to be out.

The way that truck production works, I don't know if you know this, but it's all based on rumors. Oh. So it's a rumor to be out in the spring, but obviously we're only in March right now. So. Yeah. Well, spring has, has it officially sprung? No, it springs in.

When does spring spring? It springs in May. It springs in May. Or even June. I think that we're creeping up on summer. Maybe even July. Okay. I don't think so.

It sprung. So, so the 500 rumored to be out in the spring. It's rumored to be out. Rumored to be out. The 550 rumored to be out in the spring. In the spring, but the 500 is rumored to be out, but I've never seen one with my dead eyes. Okay.

So dead eyes, by the way, you listen to that podcast? What? No. Yeah. Anyway. Got Tom Hanks on it. Oh, cool. Meanwhile, I'm in the backyard with you.

What the fuck is your fucking problem? Do you need to go to the bathroom or something? Why are you so upset? Do you get mad when you have to go to the bathroom? I usually, I get happy because it's like, oh boy, I get to get rid of all this. Whenever I'm on the road and someone's driving like a psycho, I'm like, he has to shit. That makes it, okay. Yeah.

That's a, that's a more empathetic way of looking at it. Yeah. He has to shit. That's just a bad person. He just has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit.

He has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit. He has to shit. That makes it, okay. Yeah.

That's a, that's a more empathetic way of looking at it. Yeah. He has to shit. That's just a bad person. He, he just has to shit. He has to shit. Yeah. Exactly.

Well, that's, that's great. So Shart is out of the picture for a week at least. Currently. Yeah. If I can find someone with something better than what he has, the 450. At this point, truck week, I mean, get your fucking ass up and go to truck week. Yeah. It's the best time of my life.

What are the events that happen over the week? Or is it just people driving trucks up and down the main street? It's mostly people camping out in their truck, driving their trucks around in circles. In circles. Not even in straight lines and then making. No, it's just circles. Wow. And basically they just like Blair, really violent movies from their DVD players in their

trucks. And they, Like what movies are we talking about? Like seven or seven N? Yeah. That, um, what else is violent? I guess the new Batman. The Joker.

Oh, Joker. Joker big time. Oh man. When, uh, when I was a kid and I was reading those Batman comics, I always dreamed of the, watching the Joker blow Robert Zaniero's head off. Oh my God. And just seeing his blood spatter behind him. Yeah.

That's, it seems like you would be at a truck week. And they rebuilt Montrose then. Oh yeah. Okay. It's made out of just the worst. Just shoddiest construction materials. Just shoddiest construction. Okay.

So it could go, go at any. Any moment, just a big gust of wind would blow the whole thing to smithereens. Okay. But, but luckily it's not very windy out there. No, it's not. Colorado. Okay. Good.

No, not where we are. And basically with truck week, I just want to reiterate, um, it's like one big orgy. Um, You didn't say that the first time. So I'm not sure you can reiterate something. Let me go ahead and reiterate this. If everyone's basically fucking and sucking all over the place. Really?

Yeah. Well, because everyone's trying to get with someone at the bigger truck or, you know, if they have a big truck, they're trying to lure a woman into it. Right. Why doesn't everyone then just buy the biggest truck that's available or rumored to be available? That's what they do, Scott. Haven't you been listening? That's why they have to listen to the rumors on the message boards on Facebook.

So then what is Shart doing with this, this 450? Why doesn't he just exchange it for a 500? Well, because nobody knows where it is. You have to find, you have to track down the 500. Okay. But you think one might be there? I'm hoping because it's rumored that it will be. Okay.

And me and my girls, Becky, Tosh. Tosh. Tosh. Tosh.0. Is Tosh short for Natasha? Because we have a Natasha coming up on the show. Oh, we do? I don't know.

I mean, I'm not sure if Tosh was meant to be here or not. Or is it Tosh like Daniel Tosh? It's yeah. It's actually T-O-S-H. Okay. Named after Daniel Tosh? Yeah. Wow.

Okay. Yeah. We're young. Okay. Yeah. 18 though, right? Yeah. Okay.

Good. At least that's what my Vax card says. Okay. I don't know. Well, that's great, Kayla. I want you to stick around. You're serving sort of as my co-host today. Oh, wow.

It's such a big responsibility. It really is because I need you in there asking the tough questions. Oh, shit. Okay. You weren't prepared for this? I didn't. I'll just see what I can do. Okay.

Great. Yeah. It's a great honor. Oh, wonderful. If that's all right. But she is a wonderful comedian. She's a wonderful actress. And she's the host of a new show that just came out called Rats in the Kitchen.

And she's been on the show ever since probably the very first year. Please welcome back to the show from Rockford, Illinois. Is that right? Natasha Leggero. I haven't been back to Rockford in like 12 years. Yeah. And you made it seem like I'm not live from Rockford. I feel like we've talked about Rockford every single time you've been on the show.

Is that true? And I get it wrong thinking it's Rockville like the REM song. Because you say you haven't gone back there and I say, don't go back to Rockford. And then we all laugh. And I've made that joke every time you've been on the show. Welcome back. Thanks for roping me into your... Dumb bits.

Bits that everyone's sick of. Speaking of sick of, this is a cooking show. Sick of? No, people, what I'm saying is as opposed to where people eat food and they get sick, this is good food. I ate some food and got sick yesterday. Oh no, what do you mean? I was promoting this show on access Hollywood and they were making ceviche.

And so I just ate it and I've never been sick of it. You ate access Hollywood ceviche? Why? It was totally being prepared by the crew. The crew? Like the grips? Everyone, I mean, I don't know. Everyone just chipped in on this ceviche?

The prop master. You know, the prop master. Every single person got in on this. Everyone, I just saw people touching it. This is like murder on the Orient Express for ceviche? It was a mistake. And then, not only that, it was like sitting under the lights anyway. Wait, so did you have to drive home after?

Were you going super fast? I was fine and then two hours later I was like vomiting. Oh god. And that's never happened to me before. So it wasn't you, it was vomit. Yes, yes, that's why I'm talking about it. If it were shit you would not bring it up. I would have just kept that to myself.

For sure, for sure. So, Rat in the Kitchen, this is a show that's, it's on TBS, is that right? Yes, it's a cooking competition where me and Chef Ludo, do you know Chef Ludo? I don't. He has some great restaurants in LA, Petitois, he's like a very world-renowned French chef. Why are you laughing? You know I'm a fan of your whole thing. What's my whole thing?

I'm just telling you. As we talked about on previous episodes and I mentioned Batman, my impression of Natasha is, who is the Batman? I do not like Batman. And then they came out with a movie called The Batman and I was like, this is the bit with Natasha. Wait, there's a movie called The Batman? Yes. Why?

That's so funny. We're doing the bit right now. We're in the middle of it. The Batman. That's so weird. Yeah, I don't really like Marvel movies and I don't quite understand why adults are for us to discuss them. You should go on Lauren Lapkus' podcast about them and Nicole Buyer's podcast.

Do they complain about it? Well, they're now watching them. They haven't seen any of them and they're watching them one by one. I'll watch the preview. Just the preview, that's enough. The thing is, you don't get the end of the movie on the preview. That's so weird, I had no idea. They should start including the end of the movie on the preview so you can only just

watch the preview. Oh, okay, that's cool. Whoa, cool idea. So maybe I will go on their podcast. So they don't like them though. I have no idea whether they like them or not, but already I've mentioned two other podcasts. I don't like doing that. It seems like you should be promoting your own a little bit more.

Hey, everyone listen to comedy bang bang. People are already listening to this podcast. Hopefully. Hopefully. So yeah, so then it's a cooking competition and there's seven chefs. Bring the mic right up by your mouth if you don't mind. Ranging from professional chefs to home chefs. Now why is it called rat in the kitchen?

Because it seems to me like that's something you don't want in the kitchen. So it's like, wait a minute, now all of a sudden there's rats in this kitchen with all this good food? This is such a good question. Okay, the rat is metaphorical and the rat is there to sabotage the other chefs. No. So there's a cash prize and the money either goes to the chef's bank or the rat's bank. So you basically, one of your friends was on the show. Yes, we have a good friend of ours is one of the chefs, one of the contestants on this show.

He has not told us what happened. It's been months since you've shot it and he's kept tight-lipped and mum about everything, but I'm very excited to see the show. So yeah, so it's a new cast every episode. So you can just kind of like come in anytime. And yeah, so then you get to see if the rat can successfully sabotage all the dishes and then Chef Ludo, who everyone's trying to impress, and I get to taste the food as well, which was very fun.

We get to decide if it either goes, you know, the rat one and fucked up the food. So it's like murder kind of. Yes, it's very like clue. Yes. How do they fuck up the food? Like too much salt? Spit. Well, spit you wouldn't taste, but I really hope people didn't spit in the food.

That's fucking gross. So you don't know what they did to the food. Do people do that? I'm always afraid they will. Has someone used to work in restaurants? I can say. You spit in someone's food? No.

Oh, OK, good. No. Restaurant roundup, I worked in a lot of restaurants and the temptation is there, but I never did. The worst thing that I ever did was that I served a table and iced tea and I brought back the iced tea, the empty one. I had a straw and I went to go refill it. And then another server took that iced tea that was refilled and put it on a table. So someone else's table.

Hmm. And that's not the worst thing that you did because it sounds like it was a mistake that this other server. I think health code wise, you're probably not supposed to like refill drinks like that. In someone else, in someone's glass, you're supposed to like constantly get a new glass. I mean, yeah, it's the risk. I remember eating people's chicken fingers after they left. Like if they would just take one.

Well, that's just you being broke. That's not like sabotaging someone's food. I definitely did that, too. Is that what one of these saboteurs would do is like serve you the food and then eat it when you guys were done with it? The food also has to be plated in the right way. So there's a lot of different ways you can sabotage. You can like, you know, do some acting.

Maybe you've forgotten some ingredients or dropped some ingredients or, you know, there's like many, I don't really know if I'm allowed to give away that. Oh my goodness. God bless. We're getting a sneeze. I've always held in my sneezes. I know. I don't think I've ever seen a sneeze before.

I don't think that's good for you. I think it is. My husband sneezes. He screams sneezes. I do. Like wildly. And it's actually gotten louder since COVID. And I'm like, you need to read the globe.

Like we are not doing that anymore. Screaming. Screaming. Fucking globe. Screaming. Yeah. You do that? Yeah.

Both my parents do that. How does it sound? Screaming. Oh. That's better than Moshe's. Yeah. What is Moshe? This is Moshe Kasha, by the way.

A friend of the show. Screaming. It's similar to that. That made you cough. To the point where like I'm like eternally like turned off like and not charmed by it. And then he'll look at me and then he's like, I really hate that he's now phrasing it like, I really hate that you've taken that away from me. It brings me so much joy to sneeze like that.

Oh. He does it intentionally. Yes. He loves it. It's like a release. Oh. So it's like, cause you know they say that sneezes are like part of an orgasm. Have you heard that?

Is that true? It's like one. They're part of an orgasm or they're akin to an orgasm? They are an orgasm. They are an orgasm. So wait. Cool Ops never sneezed during sex. She's not.

She's not doing well in there. Oh no. Yeah. It's like one eighth of an orgasm. Is it sneeze? Oh, I think I've heard that. So if you sneeze eight times, it's like you had one orgasm. Yeah, exactly.

There is something orgasmic to what he's doing. Yeah. Cause he's like, you're right. He's like enjoying it so much. Yeah. But yes. So rat in the kitchen on TBS. Wow.

Premiering March 31. Can I ask you a question? Has anyone ever like fake cut themselves and like bled all over the thing? Oh my God. That would be so funny. Like had a blood pack or like a squib or something like that that just exploded. Like, oh no, I got shot in the food. That did not happen.

But there was some really like, for example, I've never eaten raw shrimp before. You know, like people would say things are cooked and they're not cooked. And Chef Ludo is like extremely serious about food. So he like threw a sandwich at someone. He threw a sandwich? Like a like a banh mi or like a pastrami or something. I've gotten sandwiches thrown on me on the street. It's one of the best.

By people in trucks? Yes. It feels so good. What do they say when they throw it? They say, hey, you little piggy. Here's what a piggy like you would eat. Yeah. Okay.

That's interesting because you are kind of tiny. It's like a nice little fun thing for me. I'm four foot, by the way. Do you have any more questions, Scott? Well, what should I ask about this? Because it sounds like a great show. I have a question. Yes.

Did you ever feel like because you were with an advanced like culinary chef like Ludo, like that you didn't know what to say food wise, like you kind of were like, oh, I don't know the terminology. Like this tastes good. You know, it's funny because I'm getting hints of food. That's actually funny. I should have said that. But I feel like my my palate really developed working with him.

And also, you know, my background is in theater criticism. So it was kind of easy to move over to like food criticism. Yeah. Your background is in theater. What do you mean by that? That's like what I majored in in college. That's what my degree is in. Yes.

Wow. Interesting. Now, when we when we went to see West Side Story together at the Pantages. That was bad. But also I was on mushrooms. Oh, that would be a great theater critic on mushrooms. And then I'd be really good. Describe the the show.

And then they say live from New York and Saturday night. I think I might do that. Yeah. That would be a good podcast for sure. So, but people don't really go see theater in LA. I'm going to see the Lehman trilogy tonight. Oh. We'll see if it's good.

Willie Lehman? Three white men in a three and a half hour production. Sounds like a podcast. Now that maybe I should take mushrooms for that. Oh, but my palate got very developed. I feel like and I but now I'm like really snobby of food. Like when Moshe because he does all the cooking. So when Moshe cooks for me, I'm just kind of like, you know,

This isn't Chef Luda level. Ludo. Like a little dry. I thought it was Luda Chris. I thought that's who you've been talking about this entire time for the Fast and Furious franchise. Chef Ludo is so talented. He and he's like, he had this dish at his restaurant

that was like eel with white chocolate mashed potatoes. And I was like, how did you think of that? And he's like, it was from a dream. I woke up and I had a dream about these flavors together. Like that's kind of his vibe. Okay. And and also when we were in Atlanta shooting, we would go to the same Thai restaurant every night.

And I'm with this like world renowned chef and I'm like, don't you want to like go to different restaurants? And he's not a foodie. He's like, no, I don't want to be inspired. Oh, so he doesn't need. Oh, that's like me and other podcasts. Interesting. Yeah.

He doesn't want to like taste other people. I mean, I'm sure he wants to taste other people's food, but he doesn't want to be like the chef Ludo of podcasts. Wouldn't you agree? Um, this show came to me in a dream. I mean, this particular episode. Did it really? Sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Oh yeah, might have been. Um, the interesting thing is where I'm from Rockford. I bet you they host a truck week. Oh, no way. I didn't know that any other state would do a truck week. Can't imagine that crazy. I'm sure they do. I mean, they should have different truck weeks,

like 52 weeks of the year in different places. So you could just make the round constant truck week. Yeah. Yeah. That would be good for me. Um, okay. You said I'm going to go. Oh, please stick around.

Well, there's a, um, what's it called when they race track? Oh yeah. You know, like what's like a track? Speedway. Speedway is really big there. Oh good. So it's good for trucks. Yeah.

Like I just assume anywhere where they're like the speedway is the main attraction. Yeah, for sure. Kayla likes big trucks. She doesn't like fast cars though. It's very, very different. Yeah. I think for me, um, I, my favorite kind of person who owns a truck is someone who doesn't need to own a truck at all.

It's a choice. It's a choice. Yeah. It's not a lifestyle for them in terms of like what they need the truck. Yeah. It's not like they're on a farm and they need a truck. It's just someone who lives in an area where you do not need a huge truck. I have a question too, Kayla.

Yeah. What is your favorite decor for a truck? Like are you a fan of the balls? Are you a fan of the, absolutely. Yeah. The truck nuts. Is that a thing that you like? Massive nuts for sure.

Maybe multiple pairs. Oh. The interior, uh, I like any kind of like clearly they reupholstered it with something bright, like a really intense red. Um, maybe they cover it with some flames on the outside I would be open to. Um, but largely just so long as it kind of almost looks like the, the truck has hips, you know, when there's like in the back, there's maybe four wheels. Oh, okay.

So when they widen it out, so it's like, yeah. So it's like, it's got an ass on it. And then four nuts hanging down from the back. It's sort of, um, there's a beautiful like in between gender and away, you know? Like it has those child very hips and those big fucking nuts. I love it. It's so hot. Yeah.

So that's like kind of the guys that I grew up around smoking bowls and big trucks. Yeah. What does Mosha drive by the way? Not to constantly bring it back to your partner, but. Um, Mosha, I don't care about cars at all. I am not. I'm not like old, I like the look of old cars, but I'm certainly not going to be responsible for one.

I don't want to be like sitting in a, in a mechanics shop all afternoon. Yeah. Um, you know, you can drop them off and then get a rental person. I know who has an old car is always going to the mechanic. It seems like so much work. I don't want to go to the mechanic. Got it. Um, so anyway, he had this Mitsubishi white car that.

Why are you laughing? I mean, I don't know. It's just some family. She says any brand name or I love it. Okay. So, so then he had this car and he really wanted a Tesla. And I'm like, I do not want to drive a Tesla because my lease was, I had a mini and he's, we have a kid.

He's like, I can't take the mini. Every time he would put the kid in the mini, it was like his blood pressure. Mini Cooper, you mean? Or okay, got it. It's too small for him. So I was like, okay, I'll take your dumb Mitsubishi. You take the Tesla. He's like, well, let's just share both cars.

And I'm like, absolutely not. He's such a mess. He's got like his crap everywhere. I don't want to like, he went from smoking cigarettes to vaping to gum to toothpicks to now those, those, those, um, the patches or, no, it's not a patch. It's like a thing, a pouch you suck on on your, in your mouth. So those are, there's always like a, a place to put all the oral fixation or he's addicted to nicotine.

Right. The pipeline is probably the oral fixation. Cigarettes to. To e-cigarettes. To e-cigarettes. Okay. E-juice. To the gum, which I didn't mind.

Okay. It would get stuck in the dogs for sometimes. Cause you know, if you're chewing this all day long, it's going places. Yeah. He's probably putting it under like the car. Couches. Whatever trash can. Cables.

Well, but it's happening so much, you know, and he's upset minded. You can't be constantly throwing things away all day. You gotta just stick it in the dogs for. The gum, the toothpicks I partaked in. Those were kind of cool. I like toothpicks. But then he started doing short. So you were like a toothpick couple for a while?

A little bit. Yeah. And then he just threw mine away. And then now those pouches, like I can't deal. So I'm like, it's your car. You want to fill it up with this nicotine stuff. So long story short, he has a Tesla and now I just have his like old Mitsubishi that he still had like two years left on his lease that he picked out.

And the Tesla, I just, I just don't get it. It's all about the Tesla. Do you have one, Scott? You seem like you would. No, no, no. You definitely have one somewhere. People are constantly trying to tell me to get a Tesla, but I just can't deal with the dude who makes them.

I can't deal with that dude either. I can't deal with him. It's so high maintenance. So if he were to drive by in a Tesla and what's that big truck that he has? He has a big truck? Yeah. They made like a big electric truck. What do they call it?

It's like. Minus the electric. I'm all over that. Okay. Yeah. I like it when guys have to fill up multiple times a day. Yeah. Especially with gas prices these days.

Yeah. That's hot. That's a man. I don't even know that Elon Musk could afford that. Just like $150 every two hours. Yeah. Do not get a Tesla. It is like driving inside of an iPhone.

I really hate it. I don't like, I like to turn off my computer. You know, like if there's no downtime. When you're driving, you want to turn off your computer. Well, yeah, metaphorically. Yeah. Kind of. Well, Rad and the Kitchen is out right now.

It's on every Thursday, I believe, on TBS, but you can watch it on the TBS app, I'm sure, everywhere else that you watch it. And, you know, I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to see it. Sounds really good. I'm excited. I'll go to Chef Ludo's restaurant. Yeah.

Please. Invite us. Or that Thai restaurant you guys used to go to. Just go there. That wasn't Atlanta. That wasn't even good food. I'll fly there. I mean, drive there in someone's truck.

All right. We have to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more with Natasha, more with Kayla Dickey. And we have someone who is in the medical profession and someone in the food industry. And maybe the person in the food industry can talk to you about Chef Ludo or something like that. That's very exciting. We'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this.

Comedy bang bang. We're back. Natasha Lajero is here. Rad and the Kitchen on TBS. Thursdays or streaming anywhere and a wonderful show that people can check out. Do you have a special or anything coming up? I have a book coming out, but it's not coming out till November, so I'm going to make you have me back.

Okay. Do you remember then? And we can have, you know, little, little six months off. What's your book about? Can I even talk about that? Yes. My book is called, well, it was supposed to come out in July, but because of the supply chain shortages, you know, from the truck situation, they've actually run out of paper

in America. No way. So my book now comes out in November. Paperless post must be thrilled. It's called the world deserves my children and it is essays about parenting and being an older parent, having your life established and then becoming a parent, which is kind of the opposite of how our parents did it and parenting and environmental panic and, you know, how to not raise a complete brat, but it was definitely the hardest thing I've

ever done. Really? Well, because... Even harder than raising your child. Writing about raising your child is harder than raising the child itself. Well, writing about raising a child while raising a child in a pandemic, that was very hard. Writing about raising about...

It was so hard. It was like, because, you know, sitting down and writing, that's such a solitary thing and that's not really, you know, that's not where I'm in the pocket. Yeah. Meanwhile, Moshe is out there just chewing on his pouches. Stop bringing on Moshe. It's like, she's here, like we should be focusing on her and you haven't asked about Chart once.

Yeah, that's a good point. What does Chart do for a living, by the way, when we talk about that? He makes anti va... Oh, that's right, yes. There's no way he doesn't suck on those pouches, though. He definitely does, you know. He has chew or something. He just straight up, he vapes everywhere and he smokes at the same time.

Oh, interesting. He smokes and vapes. I loved vaping and I would keep doing it, but it's just, it feels like maybe it could give you cancer or something. Yeah, it's definitely something. We don't know. The jury's still out on this whole tobacco thing. No vaping, though.

No, I know, but... Because vaping doesn't have tobacco. It's nicotine. It's nicotine. Okay, so it's purely just nicotine. You don't have any... You're not... I don't have any vices.

I keep it straight in here. What about chocolate? Nope. What about... Never had it. Comic book collection. No collection. What about fried food?

No. Absolutely not. No? None. Sex addict. Yeah, definitely sex addict. Hey, stop pointing at me. Stop pointing at my penis.

All right, speaking of penises, we need to get to our next guest. He has one. Aw. He's in the food industry. Please welcome Jason Manzuchus. Hello, Scott. How are you? Nice to be here.

It's so great to be here. I love to be here and to see you, Scott. It's great to have you. I love it. Thank you. Your name is Jason Manzuchus. Jason Manzuchus. I get this all the time.

I mean, he's my next-door neighbor. Oh, he is. Yep. And that's... And that's why you're called to Jason Manzuchus. Well, I'm called to Jason Manzuchus because that is my name and I happen to live next door to Jason Manzuchus. I see.

Now, he's a great guy. He's a great neighbor. I have no complaints about him. He keeps a great car. I heard you talk about cars before. He keeps a great car. What does that mean? He keeps it clean.

He keeps it out of my driveway. It'd be weird if he started just parking in your driveway. That would be weird. But no, he keeps it in his own driveway, own garage, and I've got no complaints with him as a neighbor. Okay. Great. So he's a good neighbor, but...

Fantastic guy. But you have your own thing going on. That's right. This is not my thing. I should say that. Jason Manzuchus, me being his neighbor, is not my thing. Oh, okay. Your thing is you're in the food industry.

I'm in the food industry. Thank you. Because I want to be... I'm here to talk about my new show. I got Grilling with the Zooks. It's on YouTube. Grilling with the Zooks. Grilling with the Zooks.

Like Zucchini? No, like Zooks. Zooks. My last name is Manzuchus. Oh, yeah. So we have my friends and... Are you related to Jason Manzuchus? No, I live next door to Jason Manzuchus.

No, I know you live next door to him, but you're not related to him. You know how in Everybody Loves Raymond, they lived across the street from there? I love that show so much. I have not seen... I've only seen... No, I haven't seen much of that show. I've seen clips of it, but I did not realize it was... Where are you watching clips of Everybody Loves Raymond?

YouTube. You can get everything on YouTube. For sure you can. There's so much good material. There's a lot. Any show you want, you can just watch clips of it online. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so no relation other than the fact that you've spoken to him, right? Yeah, up on our mailboxes, I said, hello, and... Your mailboxes are next door to each other as well? Yeah, they are. Now that I think of it, yes they are. So it's almost like they're tiny little neighbors as well? That's true. For brief periods of time, our male is neighbors.

Can you believe it? And every time we go out there, it's a sad event because they have to move away from each other. So yeah, anytime you open letters and take them out of the mailbox... You're killing them. You're separating... You first... ...his great neighbors.

You separate them and then you rip their bodies open and pull their guts out. So maybe stick to emails. That's all I'm saying. Wow, mail is so violent when you really think about it. Mail is violent. So we'll use a mail opener, you know, a little knife. Yeah. Cut it open and...

Well, what would you prefer, like a nice, clean knife or just tearing it open with your bare hands? What I do is I take my envelopes and I steam them over some water and lift them open slowly, very carefully, very slowly. Take out the mail, put that aside, seal it back up, and I put it back in the mailbox. So your mailbox must just be full of empty envelopes. It's full. I'm in a...

What's the word I'm looking for? A row? Is that like a fight? A row? A row. A row. A row. A row with my mailman.

But you should know what a row is because you're in the food industry, couldn't you? That's what I was so curious about. Because I'm in the kitchen and around my grill, you know, I'm a grill master around the grill. Oh, you are? Yeah. That's what the new show's about. It's, you know, Grilling with the Zooks. I'm always talking about rows.

I need more rows. Bring a bowl of row, please. I'm always making roux when I grill. Roux? That's what I say is roux. Wait, you're a chef, but you're asking people to bring you bowls of roux instead of just making it yourself? Well, yeah, they're my assistants.

Oh, okay. And they suck at their jobs. That's why I end up having to get away from the grill and go pick up the stuff and bring back. Got it. Yeah. So the new show, Grilling... Grilling with Zooks.

Grilling with Zooks is going to be on YouTube. Check that out. Did you move to your place because Jason Manzookas lived there and you knew that or not to constantly bring it back to Jason Manzookas? No, that's fine. I just do want to say that my thing is not Jason Manzookas. Okay. That's not what we should be focusing.

I live next to him. My name is a Jason. Your thing is definitely the letters that we were talking about. Yeah, my thing is the letters, but also the grill show. I got this grill show on YouTube. No, I want to talk about the grill show. I'm just... Because it's great.

It's a great show. I don't know that I've ever even heard of two people with the same last name living next door to each other, even if it was Smith or something like that. What about... It's a strange coincidence. What about Ray Romano? What about Jason Sudeikas? Now you're having fun with me.

You're just having fun with me. And I like it. I like it. That's great. You like people having fun with you. Is that your thing? That's part of my thing. Part of my thing is they have people have fun, eat great grilled food, chop steaks.

Chopped steaks? Chops, comma steaks. Oh, chop. Oh, okay. Chicken. I have a food question. Sure. I feel like grilled food can be very boring and there should be more of a...

Oh, not the way I do it. A movement to always have some kind of flavor bomb, roux, sauce or something, right? That's good. Can I steal that idea from you? Yes, you can. And at that part out that I'm stealing this idea to make the grill. Okay. We'll definitely add it.

Can I ask... Do you make anything cool like beer nuggets? Well, I assume you mean cool and like the temperature sense. This is a hot grill. No, I mean, they're a hot food. It's just they're called beer nuggets. Do you make them? That's why...

What are they? Is it you put a beer on the grill because I do that, a beer bottle and it shoots and breaks open. Exactly. You put that on the grill? I do that. At the end of every episode, we pick a bottle or a can of something, we put it on the grill and it blows up.

So there's just like glass everywhere. Glass and tin and everything all over the place. And then you cook on that the next... No, that's at the end of the episode. I'm so sorry. Did I make that clear? Oh, that's the end. That's like the big fireworks show at the end of the episode.

It splashes up and through graphic designs that we have the credits of the show sort of spelled out in the liquid and glass and some blood because I get some blood on me. So this is like CGI? Yeah, CGI. Okay. That's right. That's right. And the credits just kind of drip down from the top of the screen.

Right, because you know you're so used to the credits going top to bottom, so we do that too. So it's not different, it's the usual. Well, but this is spelled out in liquid and glass and blood. That's so cool. Great. Thank you. That's what I said.

And the producers, I got a team of producers, they did not see it that way and then we got into a row about it. Great. And I said, bring me a roux in the row, I want to throw the roux at them. So is that the most unique part of your show? Because it sounds like the show itself is just you grilling things. Well, I'm teaching you how to grill things. You're not just watching me.

I see. Jason Manzookas, does he appear on the show? If he has not yet, if for some reason during the pandemic. Does he have a show next door to yours? No, I think the stuff I've seen him in, I've only seen the lead. Did he film Infinite in the studio next door? Like are you guys filming next door to each other all the time? No, no.

He's asking about other men, except for Shart. What do you want me to ask you about Shart? I don't know. What he's like personality was. What's his personality? Bad? Are you saying shark? Shart.

Shart. It's like Shark Week with a T. Oh, good. Well, that's good. His last name is T. It's T? It's T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

T. So like what's a typical meal that you would teach me to make if I was watching. Now let me ask you are you a vegan. No. Perfect. Okay this is going to be the show for you. So what if someone is a vegetarian or a vegan. I would suggest to them just cut, you know.

Just screw up to the end of the video and watch the thing explode because that will be the most exciting part for you. So it sounds like your show is boring but the credits are interesting. Is that what I'm getting? I wouldn't say the show is boring. The host sometimes can be boring. But you're the host. Yeah.

I don't bring much to it. Right. Right. Well I mean it sounds like- But that is my thing. Okay. But it sounds like all you have for the show is just hey I grill some stuff in the end. You put salt and pepper on it and that's it.

Salt and pepper. I'm going to do the butter. I'm going to put it in the butter. Clarified butter. Okay. But all that none of that is unique. Oh we got graphics to say what I'm doing it kind of comes in. Okay.

Yeah that sounds good. That sounds good. Yeah that's fun. That's a big part of it. The fun with the graphics. What do the graphics look like? White text. It just says text.

Courier new font. Courier new font. Courier new font. Courier new font. The what I'm putting in comes up on the side. And then what I do sometimes I'll wave my hand and the graphic design people make the words fly away. It sounds like a really big team that you have.

It's a yeah it's a well it takes a village to grill a steak is what I always say. Okay. I will start saying that on the show. How many people are involved? Oh eight. It's not really a village. How long are the videos? A small village.

They're like four minutes, five minutes? The longest one is 30 minutes. The shortest one is 30 seconds. That was. Well yeah what happened in the 30 second one? The 30 second one I somebody I said bring me the chicken because we're doing chicken that day. Right.

Okay. Makes sense. The assistant walks out. It makes the perfect sound. Chicken 30 seconds sounds raw. Yeah what happened? I said bring me raw chicken and they the assistant they were new they brought out the raw chicken eggs.

Oh. And so I opened one. I didn't want to. You opened one. I didn't want to cut. You know. Yeah. So you opened an egg.

Just I put it over some steam and pokes it open. On the grill. And then put that on the grill and it fell through and I said well folks I'm going to put this bottle of champagne on here. Let's do it Kevin. Well let's watch it fly. Champagne that's expensive. Yeah.

I mean but for a 30 second show I mean you got to do something special. And I tell you something I didn't want to make this my thing but you know where I got the champagne? Where? And God I hope you know that. Does he listen to the show? Jason Manza? Yeah.

Yeah he's an avid listener. Yeah. Wait you got it from his place? Yeah. He you know he got a bottle of celebratory big mouth champagne because they just finished the season and it was in his mailbox and I looked left I looked right. He wasn't out there that day and I had snuck at home because. You stole it from him?

No. I stole it. I stole a bottle of champagne. That's his celebratory big mouth champagne. I know and I know he the big mouth folks got in real big trouble and he you know. Because he was upset. I can only imagine. I'm sure because everyone else was getting him.

Because he has a temper. And then I do not know. Once he hears that Nick got celebratory. I don't know who that is. Oh Nick Kroll. Once he hears his good buddy Nick Kroll got celebratory big mouth champagne and he didn't he would be pissed. Yeah he would probably mad.

So I do want to if you're listening Jason I apologize. But that was the champagne that you blew up. Blu up but Jason it did go to good use go on and check out episode chicken breasts and. You didn't do a follow-up episode like chicken breasts too where you actually. No I don't do that. Chicken breasts. We don't revisit. We don't revisit.

So every type of food you only do once. Yep. Sadly that's how it goes. So are you running out of food to do. Let's see well what we did on the grill. Have you tried that. No that's good. And there's so many types of fish you've you've been in the ocean yet.

Yeah but the fish seems hard to cook on the grill. Yeah you scale them cut them let me see scale and cut them flame then plop them on yeah. Skin side down. You can do that or you can take a skin right off. I'm getting what okay and not to not to insult you I don't you know when people come on the show I don't. I would love that. I would love it.

You would love it. Oh okay because some people love it when you insult them it's like the Comedy Central Roasts you know what I mean like the Tasha's done these. It's called nagging. It's called nagging for Kayla. No it's called nagging yeah. I love it. So some people love it but and I don't want to insult you.

But it sounds to me like what you want to be your deal your show is boring. I want it to be boring. No no what you want to be your deal is boring. Oh I get what you're saying. My show my new brand new show it's coming out soon. Yeah it's boring. What's it called? It's called uh.

On the grill. That's right. That's right. So that's it. No I wasn't grilling with the Zooks. Grilling with something like that. I don't I skip what I rewatch when I skip. Whatever it is it's it's so anodyne and boring that I couldn't even remember it but what's

interesting about you is the fact that you live next door to Jason Manzookas. The interesting thing to me and I don't want to insult you. Yeah oh and I don't I don't know if that's even possible but go ahead. Um well okay I'm not gonna try I'm not gonna try to live up to Don Rickles standard. Okay yeah. Uh let's is that boring to me no because I did mention the exploding at the end and I mentioned that part is like the mishap like the mishap with the egg is kind of a blooper that was a lot of bloopers online yeah but I mean anytime that we ask you any kind of

question about like what would you do if you put fish on the grill it comes out just boring like oh scale it oh well I'm sort of teasing you I'm not teasing you into the episodes watch okay watch the episodes see what I what see what Zooks is gonna do next like what's the most interesting episode that you've done. We had a live um well we had a live uh lobster and I had to chase him around he was fast that was a big fast lobster a big part of that one uh how fast was he going you seen that uh the cartoon with the um the uh the Wiley Coyote or yeah but the other road runner road runner yeah he's going like seems to be like 200 miles an hour go two ticks down

that was the lobster okay so 198 198 all over the yard and I'm yelling get the fucking thing back here I've got a knife in my hand I'm swinging it everywhere my glasses fall off so I can't see a thing and uh it is night time for this episode why because we wanted to we we had a series going with uh Zooks late night Zooks so this is one of the late night Zooks episodes this is late night Zooks okay and uh so I'm swinging that around and you're swinging the knife around your glasses fall off right and one of my neighbors I remember which one Jason Manzookas well again my my uh some of my glasses were all okay they were sunglasses they were prescription I'm curious who lives next door do you on the other side uh that

it's uh it's open open now it's open house open house open house yeah you can come by and you take a walk do a walk through how long has it been on the market uh since the beginning of the pandemic oh okay yeah so they are losing so they're asking a lot yeah yeah okay quite a bit so one of your neighbors it would have to be Jason Manzookas I could have been uh somebody from behind me or across the street and they said so I don't know who it was exactly because again my glasses were off and they said would you stop it I'm trying to do a voiceover for the for the league documentary DVDs for the behind the scenes this is Jason Manzookas could have been you know or could have been would you say crow he could have

been looking at the house next door and doing his his voiceover work for the like some commentary because they've been renting out the house for parties and voiceover words I was going to say I actually follow I'm realizing I followed Jason Manzookas on Twitter oh yeah he's it what's his Twitter at LALY YILY right yeah wait a second I'm sorry isn't Jason Manzookas not online oh no he has a secret burner account what did you say because I always thought that was so cool it's a really simple handle LALY YILY yeah that's where he creeps around on the internet without anyone knowing well maybe we shouldn't oh no he's fine with it oh okay no yeah he likes it follow him yeah you should be next door to him on Twitter

as well can you do that so every time he or I tweet we have to do it right away hey Jason I'm tweeting alright adjacent so did you ever catch the lobster yes we did and let me tell you something he was not happy and I was not happy with him so I was so unhappy beings and we didn't just drop them in the boiler because he was like a revenge kind of thing at that point yeah at that point I saw you son of a bitch you make me run around I think the best kind of food that you can have is just taken straight from the nature so like for us like in Colorado we eat like a ton of elk and stuff like have you ever done anything with elk like I'll hit a deer and then we'll eat it for a month yeah we did a venison we

did venison jerky we bought some venison jerky and put that on the grill and eat it up grill so you didn't even like dry it you just like well it dried out even more if you don't believe it right yeah I can't I couldn't believe it either okay so that was your most interesting episode how many views you getting on these things yeah if we have a video up for a month seven million three in one month and then I don't really check after the month we don't keep track of it after that is a that's viral so who are you're keeping track of it before that we do yeah the tip what members on the team the eight one of the eight the crazy eights we call it one of the crazy eights keeps track of it but once it hits seven million

after the month okay 30 million we've had up down to a hundred thousand where these heads out there like who we talk and who's the average man who likes your show we could be you know it's a lot of people because some people come for the grilling some people come that they love action chases and that type of thing how how many episodes are you unable to catch the the thing that you're about to grill yeah most really okay most so so you successfully grilled a lobster after you snapped his neck oh and so I ended up not no I ended grilling him oh really you just snapped his neck and said you make me run around my yard on his always broken glass like I don't shoes no glasses I don't kick your ass but I already

killed him I kicked his ass a little bit anyway I had one of the I would add one of the crazy eights string them up but I like a big yada and he's not like a like a holy feel punching bag yeah oh okay holy feel everlast is what I'm trying to say everlast punching bags small so the episode ended yeah with you just punching this dead lobster yeah and as I was doing it I said hey put put a beer on the grill and they came out with a bush light I think it was bush light that episode okay and that and I get seven million views people love it people seem to love it and so the one that you were able to actually put on the grill was the elk jerky yeah and that's it that wasn't the only one I think we talked about me three or four episodes

I've been doing this for five years I've got to do it a week okay so you do the math how many so 250 260 episodes did you do the math I did there you go and and how many things have you actually grilled uh in that time about oh we probably gotten 30 successful pieces successful grill raw to cooked to put on a plate right eaten off camera eaten off camera yeah we don't like to see we don't like the the fans don't like the mouths to know right I have a question sure so like on Guy Fieri that's how you say Fiatty Fieri yeah I've been hearing Fiatty Fiatty there is a R and I think it's Italian or something okay so guy Fiatty yeah Fiatty he he'll bring in his like sons when they like tape um stuff at his house do you ever bring in like other people never been married never had

a son never had a daughter I am sterile it was a growing up living next to very close to power lines how close uh like through your bedroom well where my bathroom was in my home you had to step over a power line straddle it really into the toilet yep so what did your your parents just build the house and we're like you know we gotta they bought it from some crooked if I could say this uh uh schnook is that where I can say on uh I think so okay I think we can still say schnook right I'm not sure yeah I don't know what that is uh it's a uh uh I guess how would you describe it because I don't know that I want to jerk or a fool yeah I sort of said that as a joke like can we say this but is that a bad thing I know I think it's all right I didn't mean any fans by it I hope

you didn't take it fans by it so you so you're sterile right and that that has prevented you from getting married because some women would like that uh not the women I meet or the women I'm interested in I want a woman who has a big family I like sterile men I think it's hot well thank you so your thing is you like women who want a big family but you're unable to provide no my thing is I got a grilling show and and I got a grilling show Scott's always trying to get to what people's thing is yeah well I just and I told you right off the bat I know but someone comes on with the name adjacent manzukas sure you know and then immediately says that's not part of his thing I don't know what I can tell you about that other than the fates of the world gave me the name

adjacent did you buy the house and you knew who lived there or who moved there first that is a good question almost seems like from the dawn of time we were just living there but uh no to to give you an honest answer I lived there and then he moved in he moved in okay so he and was he surprised when he found he was living next to someone you know it's funny I don't know if we ever discussed he knows my name's adjacent but I don't know if he knows my life your last name well what's on your mailboxes uh mine's AJ and his uh AJ's well AJ why AJ obviously his is JM and mine's KM are you lying AJ I'm not lying about that I just was not thinking when I was talking okay that happens to me from time to time because everyone's while someone comes on here and is lying no and

we get down to the bottom of it and it's like a rat in the podcast yes are you trying to sabotage this podcast I would never this is an important podcast for Natasha he's the rat he's the rat anyway Natasha you probably try to flush me out if I'm the rat he's a saboteur I can tell hey you spit in the mic English please you're trying to sabotage things well I did spit in I did spit in somebody's food I don't know who that was oh no was it the beer I think it's your own yeah it was you're the only one eating okay yeah that was my own food so it's fine okay so okay so you have a terrible show have a show that does well online it does really really well but it seems like in spite of you in spite of I don't know what the what are the views on the

ones where you actually cook something because those are hot too I mean that's those are up in the eight and nine millions for the month because people want to see it success but people always want to see a little more than most most network shows yeah I know well you know everything's moving online I found okay so you don't have any interesting thoughts on that either so you got moving yeah yeah like what you just said is pretty cliche and pretty boring so cliche boy so really the interesting thing about that does hurt my feeling the interesting thing about you is who you live next door to no your weird name okay your credits of your show and then we and then most of the episodes you aren't successful in actually cooking something right the book I'm coming out with this

color is gonna be good what's your book Natasha has a book coming out in November what is your book though well my book is catered towards my fans who uh watch the show and grill with me and eat and and you know eat that much meat you're gonna get gain weight so it is uh lose uh lose weight while you masturbate isn't it but that is not the interesting thing here the show no that sounds interesting what do you mean it's a book everyone has weight loss books it's not a big deal you're you're going to the library you go to bars and ovals that's a whole section full of weight no but the the process how are you losing weight while you're masturbating because that's that's not enough energy just doing that I mean if you're not working hard enough Scott if you just do that all

day you're not going to lose weight necessarily unless you don't eat you're going to lose a maybe a like a pound of sperm I don't even good for you good for me okay so that's kind of interesting you're mostly doing uh sit-ups and jerking off at the same time uh yeah well it's like sit up you're gonna fall back up sit up here we got one got one more ladies gotta say that oh you a chapter for ladies or an entirely different book and somebody the crazy eights working on that one okay all right so a jason manzookas yeah we'll you sound like you have kind of an interesting uh thing like on the periphery of where you are I don't know maybe all these what you say boring things add up to a pretty okay guy who's just got

a show that's gonna just a sterile sterile man who lives next door to a jason manzookas and explodes a beer bottle at the end of every episode cutting yourself open and then you turn that into I think I know what's happening what's that I think that Scott is jealous interesting because guys podcast there's no way he's getting millions of hits the way you are you look good in the gray t-shirt you know throwing shade does that look good on you and jealously is not your look so green I don't look good in green is that what you're trying to say that was off the cuff though all of my shows are scripted oh really so even the chasing the lobster around that was scripted yeah why didn't you talk about this at the beginning that's

interesting what is skilled lobster we will go he was wrapped the episodes the casting process but and and to come in and know he's gonna die as well at the end of this yeah well he had a death wish I think all right he was he was related oh you have more I have a little more to say about the life just one tidbit okay he was the grandson of dr jack of orc and all I'll say about that check out grilling with zooks coming at you every other day every other day you said once a week we do uh once a week but every other day we repost it okay so we have to wipe wipe those views class the views so you don't even care about the end of the month that's seven million in two days wow i'm bad all right well the jason manzook is we have to take a break uh when we come back uh we

have someone in the medical profession so we'll get a little medical advice this is exciting we'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this comedy bang bang we're back natasha legero is here rat in the kitchen see this is a show where i'm kidding i'm kidding you well what i'm saying is like this is an interesting hook for a show i hope we get seven million views yeah maybe maybe you don't need to be interesting maybe that's yeah i mean your show is is not i mean this is a jason manzook is who also has a cooking show your show doesn't have i'm jay i'm a jason manzook is and i have a oh yes okay uh aside from natasha i also have one i thought your point was a jason manzook is all right stop talking also has a cooking show is that please stop but what you

would may think is you know go ahead go ahead i do think there's something to people being less interesting in it being better tv for example venessa lache on love is blind it's so boring yeah i mean what is her lifelike do you think um i think she she probably just hangs out in a huge house all day yeah i bet she has a little sign on her dust that says girl boss i bet you're totally right about that i can i uh go ahead and this is grill boss okay and i ordered it i ordered it for one of the crazy 88 because you thought it's a girl boss i was like getting a girl boss one it's her birthday she's killing it she's absolutely and then you got it it's a girl boss because they knew it was coming to me a jason manzook is so they said oh he must have been mistaken so there was one called

girl boss that but they gave it to you because they thought that you were ordering it for yourself bingo so i gave it to her anyway and she said this really i'm not gonna die you're the grill boss i said okay but mark my words you're the girl boss and you're gonna get that plaque did you order a new girl boss plaque uh i'm gonna do that on her birthday i'm going to do that i'm gonna write myself the reminder on her birthday to do okay very good uh very good we have to get to our next guest this is exciting uh he's in the medical profession please welcome dr fouchy oh whoa oh hi dr fouchy oh my god thank you so much god it's good to be here it's great to see i had no idea i didn't realize until you uh sat down and i read your name on the thing busy i mean you're obviously

people know who you are dr fouchy the famous dr fouchy let me tell you something okay i'm done being humble okay everybody knows the fox everybody i'm calling myself the fox now by the way i have these stickers and i have these posters and i have these shirts that say fach posse fach posse yeah so i'll be selling them after the show outside your house if that's okay what about something that rhymes like don't botch the fach or something like that i don't even know what that fach is that ethical for you to have merchandise um you know is it ethical for people to send me uh death wishes you know people are sending me death it kind of evens out it right you know what i mean right the death threats and death wishes some people threaten to kill me some people wish that i die

and right you know i don't get it what's worse for you wishing that i die you would rather they send death threats than just seek silently wishing that you're dead because the thing is a death threat you know who the death is gonna come from it's the person sending the death threat but a death wish you don't know when it's gonna happen so they're wishing you die of natural causes yes and i'm sick of it that's worse you're like i hope you die of an aneurysm and i'm gonna say do you know what aneurysm is it hurts okay i have to say i thought a death wish was something you had for yourself i think you can it could be both you can have it for yourself and you could have it for somebody else okay um right you can wish some you can yeah exactly that's what the lobster i mentioned

who had the death wish right yeah he he wanted on all me because i was jason maran he didn't want to die but you killed him he wanted me to die and he wished it and he also talked uh did i say he was a writer did somebody mention you wrote it anyway that's not good all right lobsters make noise a lot of people don't understand lobsters make noise oh okay yeah but i usually they're in the sea and i you know you can't hear anything under the sea yeah yeah life is much better than they're known to hum what do you think that song came from originally the under the seas are crustaceans hum yes all the time i had a crustacean when i was a kid it was called krabby the crab and this fucking thing would never stop humming and awful songs too really it was like what like

like songs you didn't like yeah like crash just we've only just begun that's uh yes exactly crash carpenters oh that's oh oh yeah anytime he hears humming yeah exactly he thinks it must be the crash just don't exactly we have just met today but how'd you know that about it how'd you know that you know they had more songs than just that one and they actually sing the lyrics in other songs oh yeah proceed so dr fouchy i mean it's so great to meet you i mean we're coming a lot of people say hey the pandemic's over but uh you know you've been out there saying maybe it's not where i mean where where are we right now where i guess look here's the thing nothing's over until it's over right grade point exactly you don't you know you can't say you milk the cow unless the milk is in the

the bucket the bucket right okay or on the ground i guess if you don't have that is a very similar analogy we use in the book go ahead does he ever milk a cow and they just like it's on the ground and then they try to scoop it up after the fact or no once that milk is on the ground it belongs to the grass it's just a milky grass yeah exactly you don't want to you don't want i've licked milk off the ground before you have all you're gonna do is get sick ah very not and you got sick too no no but same okay i've got dysentery for weeks is that why you became a doctor is because you got sick once you're like i gotta figure out how to stop this from happening or have you read my biography that's exactly what happened one day i got very sick very sick from drinking milk later on i found

out i was a something called what lactose intolerant when you take lactose you immediately defecated out right you have to drive really fast oh yeah oh yeah because usually guess what you have to take a poop when you're suddenly driving or when you're busy you know hanging something like hanging a painting like a painting yes how many paintings do you have in your house 730 i think so you're an art collector i mean i think you're famous now so really look let me tell you something what do you have like basquiat's basquiat's i got 700 basquiat really how many bank sees bank sees let me see i got 20 bank sees did you buy that bank see the one that likes uh just shredded itself yes i did and you thought i was furious i brought it home you were mad completely shredded

when you when i bought it it wasn't brought it home it was shredded did i let you keep the shredder that was attached to it because that's that's gotta be a no that was no that one that actually used that one they took back that's what i took the shredder back they took the shredder back and i had nothing except a pile of painting that is weird yeah that is great so you're an art you're an art guy i'm an art guy but let me tell you more than anything i'm a brooklyn guy straight out of brooklyn shout out to biggie smalls oh oh so you're a fan of uh brooklyn artists like biggie smalls i'm from the brooklyn streets okay a lot of people don't know this i didn't know that yeah yeah i'm from the brooklyn streets you look at me you're like okay

dr fauci you're an older yeah older gentleman but you're famous now older gentleman famous now when i walk around when i walk down uh the brooklyn streets people like fauci fauci fauci and then i put my hands up everyone starts cheering it's real nice it's funny dice has said this exact same thing to me dice i'm from the streets of brooklyn yeah and i know yeah he's not from the streets he's not from the streets like me i'm from the streets really which street montrose i just walk the streets waiting for people to shout at me not what kind of things do they shout at you stupid little tiny bitch get your ass up here let me tell you in the beginning of the pandemic constantly people because i'm five seven i'm a little guy i'm a

short king okay you're short like hey you little fuck why don't you why don't you come here people were blaming you uh the blaming the pandemic on you or blaming they were blaming a lot of different things on me they were blaming the pandemic on me blaming their divorces on me blaming uh various types of you know i hate to say miscarriages on me yeah i saw it all on facebook it was all over the message i don't want to know all different kinds yeah so people were blaming everything on you and they but now they cheer when they see you now they cheer when they see me everyone's like everyone wants a piece of the big fudge big fudge and if you don't mind maybe if you guys don't mind call me big fudge because like that's what people have been

calling me yeah sure i'll call you love it when they call you big fudge big fudge all day all night is that how your name is pronounced fudge huh no that's how i say it okay you know what because i don't give a fudge oh i get it now okay that's what's up but let me tell you something yeah please i mean you're here in the house and so am i well established uh is anybody have any questions about the pandemic i can answer for you you know what other questions i can answer for you a little word called i don't know aids have you heard about this uh most of you know the reason that magic johnson etc are you asking like if i heard about that is the smallest word the littlest word i've heard what's yeah it's is that the littlest word you ever heard i know i think uh uh is the littlest

well i because it's a little theater yeah you know why people don't talk about aids as much anymore because of me the big fudge most of these right studies that were done on aids who were who who did it you you were the guy who yeah you were in charge of all this you're the you're the guy i mean who basically got it under control a little bit is out is that i got it under control a little bit i single-handedly was the one big fudgy that got aids under control right i went to every single community and told them what to do to not get it and what to do when you do get it i gotta say you can reach a bigger audience by going on youtube because those communities you can't every single community single community well this was way before youtube's right before the

internet's email were you the guy i could have done that but where would i get everyone's email from were you the guy who also went to george michael and said please put a lyric sex is best when it's one on one absolutely absolutely and do i want your sex and that that got the message out and helped control aids a little bit is that true i fully disagree sex is way better with a lot of people no but originally the the it was like sex you know he was like he was like sex is best without a condom with multiple people at the same time some of them take intra intravenous drugs right i said look george i know you know what you're doing but i know what i'm doing you got to stop with this okay plus sex is best when it's one on one rhymed with the previous lyric exactly

the other way no sense yeah exactly and then didn't the the lyric from faith come out is that you you gotta listen to me on this you gotta have faith and he said oh i gotta that gives me an idea for a song did i hear that right yes also the song monkey on my back right he got that from me too really i so i had a monkey on my back a literal monkey yes that refused to leave don't ever ever monkey watch don't ever watch somebody you're watching your friends monkey yes oh my god my friend's name what was it michael jackson my god you were friends with michael jackson yes who do you think gave him probable that was a different guy i thought who is no no who do you gave who do you think gave that guy oh you're the guy behind the guy that you gotta get you are probable

you come to the big fudge let me tell you that okay do you regret like telling everyone like didn't you kind of know that masks would help even though you said at the beginning that they wouldn't help remember you've made people remember i was doing a bit that was called i was just doing it was a joke at first that went really far oh you were joking i made a joke it's like why would i wear masks you're being sarcastic then you can't tell if i'm smiling i've literally never worn a mask you don't believe in them um yeah no i i just think the masks are the problem and like we should all do the masks are the problem no the virus is the problem no it's the mask yeah i will agree masks are the problem but only in the scream series i will say that ghost face in other words

face yeah whoever's whoever's wearing that is usually the bad guy that's in the scream in the jim carrey movie the mask he was actually the hero though but the mask was bad the mask was bad was that the mask was evil the mask was evil but it made him so funny he said smoking and all that he was already funny oh so he didn't need the mask i think that's the lesson we all learned is that jim carrey does not need a mask you should rewatch it sky clearly he didn't he didn't get through to you do you have any hobbies fouchy like what do you do for fun let me tell you host you are a good host well here clearly is like you know he wants to uh you know step away from your persona yes thank you fabulous i so i started surfing anybody heard of this fucking thing yeah

no we've all heard of surfing the beach boys sang about it in every fucking song uh the beach boys yeah the beach brian wilson the beach boys the dude that had like schizophrenia uh i mean schizophrenic one of them was hit in the ear by his dad no that doesn't call schizophrenia believe me i was hitting i was bought i went to an all catholic nun boy school it's when it was wait you were all you were all boys you were all boys you were taught to be nuns yes yes yes because because there wasn't any because the catholic church was pissed off that there wasn't enough boy nuns okay so i joined that it was easier than joining the priest one right right yeah easier to get in yeah is yeah and you all had to try to do where you dressed in habits all day and we were

dressed well let's just say we made it a habit to always be dressed that way uh but i mean there's a protocol so you could have just said yes but and said you've made a joke it was was it funny or was it not i don't know at this point i don't know you're laughing scott's laughing all puns are funny period end of story period you know what sharks do in the atlantic uh yep they'll come rob up against you you know are you talking about shark shark she sharks oh sorry i thought you were talking about finally someone was i don't know what's more dangerous though a shark or a shark in the water i mean i would say a shark because if you shart in the water nobody knows right no but if but if a shark's in the water everybody knows exactly is that what you're trying to say exactly

so what's worse a shark in the water if you're gonna shark you might as well do it in the water right do you think that a shark would attract a shark a shark would attract a shark if you have bleeding yeah because well bleeding like you guys knew that documentary grizzly bear uh grizzly man yeah grizzly man based on judge based on judge oh that was okay but you know of course the rumor started that a woman's period attracted the bear that killed everybody and most people would say that that's sexist but i think that that's the truth i think that's probably sexist people society loves to blame women another thing uh other things we're wrapping up are you kidding me i just got on i was gonna start talking about you just got on how long have i been here for
