Fossett, for that cashphrase submission. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. We have such an exceptional show.

I cannot wait to tell everyone about it. Coming up a little later, we have an actress. I don't like to gender that job, so I'm just going to say actor. We also have a CPA. Oh, no, it's CPA er. I do like to gender that job. A CPA will be coming up a little later. So this is an exciting episode of Comedy Bang Bang,

an actress, a CPA? You don't get this kind of show on other podcasts, who is Mark Barron always talking to? Barry in his garage. No, we talk to the real people, actors, CPAers. We're also, by the way, my name is Scott Ackerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have an exceptional show, of course.

I just mentioned that. And want to remind everyone, we are coming out to a town near you. And if you don't live near one of these towns, just pack up all of your belongings and move somewhere, a hole up in a seedy hotel. And we're going to be out there CBBworld.com slash tours where you can get all of these announcements. Tickets went on sale Friday and they are going fast and we're going to so many dates. We'll be announcing more date soon. Let's not waste any more time because I have maybe the most incredible guest here on Comedy Bang Bang that's ever been on the show. He's a good friend to us. Let me look up while he's

sitting here exactly how many times he's been on the show and what timer club he's entering. He is entering the oh shit and then an ad popped up. God damn it. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering the 16-timer club. And he's rubbing his eyes like you can't stand what I'm about to say. That part's not true. I like anything yet today. I think based on the electronic mails I receive after my appearance is here, that number seems low.

I should be here more often. You should be here more often. I think October of 24 was the last time I was here. You were, but that said, we have only been around for now, almost 17 years. It'll be our 17th anniversary in a couple of weeks. So 16 times is actually not a... Will this be number 17 or is this 16?

This is number 16. Well, then we got to squeeze in 17 so that it... I'll see you next week. The math works out to once a year. Of course. All right, I'll be here. I'm happy to do it. Much like me, who has been on his podcast every single season.

Yeah, we've done 30... Well, we just started our 38th season. We've done 37. So you've been on minimum. Understand what I'm saying now? minimum 37 times. Is it even more than that? It can't be.

Yeah, there's a couple of years where I was on a few episodes. Yeah, when we first started, we had like you and Gilmartin and Paul F and some people I don't talk to anymore on a regular basis. And you guys would come back because you were fun. I don't talk to my wife anymore. So she's one of them. Danielle's one. I think Danielle and Oliver might be the lead in the pack. Yes, of being on the most times.

I think so. Yeah. Well, we want to get your stats up, definitely. I think my stash should be higher. I'd like you to be neck and neck with Paul F. Tompkins. Well, that seems like I'm going to have to get a time machine. Every week for a little while. You know what?

I got nothing going on. Sure, why not? I'm good to go. Hollywood's spoken. Let these be the last podcast you ever record. Okay. I like mine to be the last podcast ever record. No, no.

I would love, and I'll introduce you in a second, is I would love it if you were to kind of close everything out here on comedy. Yeah, why would I? Remember when Todd Glass went on. WTF to make his big announcement instead of doing it on his own podcast? Well, I want your last podcast to be here. Um, okay, it won't be. I appreciate that. I appreciate that you want it to be.

You, you, you, you at least are not planning for it to be. Well, you know what? Who knows? This could be it. Yes, that's what I'm saying. I could, I could, uh, I could expire right the minute we're done here. I told you about my drive in, a lot of, uh, lane closures. Yep.

A lot of, uh, giant potholes. Uh, I could, you could pull a Eugene Merman and, and we want, Good thoughts to you, really? Come on, I'm friends with Eugene. He doesn't make it okay. I like all humor. I go for it. Eugene may be too soon.

Just appeared with us in Boston two years ago. And we had a great night together. Well, did you say drive safely at the way horrid? Drive safely, Eugene. From here on it. That's horrible. He's doing okay at all. Oh, yes.

He's doing okay. Was he driving the vehicle? He was driving the vehicle, much like you were today. I thought New Yorkers weren't supposed to drive. So it's, in a way, he lives in the Boston area. I don't know where he lives. I know nothing about Eugene Merman. He parks his car usually at Harvard Yard.

Oh, is that right? People like to say that, don't they? Let me introduce you. We are celebrating his 20th anniversary doing his own podcast. He claps for himself. I thought, I thought something would happen when he said 20th anniversary. Nobody else seemed interested in clapping. No one joined in.

So I bailed. Nope. But 20 years, he is, of course, the. reason that so many comedians are doing podcasts. And this is the month that we are celebrating all month long. Oh boy. His podcast, Never Not Funny, which is available at never not funny. Dot com entering the six-timer club.

Please welcome back to the show, Jimmy Pardo. I thought it was 16-timer. You just got caught me. Did I say six-timer again? You lost me 10, yeah. I would rather it would be six-timers. Nice and tight, right? You know what I mean?

That seems fine. Just keep it to a nice six. Brother, you're not going to get an argument. What am I going to start counting all your appearances on three? hands? Yeah. Get somebody else involved. Why not? Yeah. Hey, anyone have a spare hand? I want to count Pardo's appearance. Absolutely. Welcome back to the show, Jimmy. 16-timer club. It is always exciting to be here. It's always excited to have you. It's more exciting for me than for you. And that is definitely true. I'll go along with that. You're not going to get an argument on this side of the

table. Jimmy 20 years ago, it was 20 years ago today. Today. Jimmy Pardo got a podcast to play, right? Look at this. Come on, Weirdell. What have you been doing with your life, Weird Al? And not helping me. If not making very specific parody songs about podcasts. I think if I went to Elle today, and I think you know as well as I do, he's the nicest guy in the world, maybe by 4 o'clock he's got something? Yeah, I think so.

I think you could whip it up. You get the old the old Thesaurus and Ryming Dictionary out. Yeah. You know he uses both of those. When he was on my program, the aforementioned award-winning podcast, never not funny. What are the words if you want? I wanted words back of the day. Yeah, which ones?

The Aspen Comedy Festival Award, the now defunct. But you know what? You got a trophy. You say award winning. And people love it. Yeah. I think this, I mean, I think we're nominated for a Webby this year, maybe. And I feel like I won one before or something.

I have no idea. I think there's a lot of those out there that, okay. Sure. Yeah, I'll take it. Early on, I was like, we got to be involved in all these things. And then it's like, then they go. And the best comedy is, you know, John of the Squirrel. And you're like, I've never heard of John of the Squirrel.

Nobody's heard of him. I actually do love that. You like John and the squirrel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the squirrel mainly. John's kind of gets the way. Well, you know, he's the straight man. Yeah, but the straight man usually do a nice job.

You and I both play the straight man. That's kind of how we've made a living. We have made a living at it and you have made a great one because 20 years ago this month. Yeah. You started doing a comedy podcast when no one even knew what a podcast was. Yeah. No one had any idea what this was. Matt Belknap did.

Matt Belknap, he had his own podcast a little bit before that where he would interview comedians. He interviewed you and lightning struck. He did. And then he said, hey, I would rather produce a podcast that you host instead of host my own. What do you think? And then somehow he's now co-hosting your show. It's infuriated.

He's a liar, is what we're trying to say. He did it a long, it took about, for 20 years and it took about 15 years for him to make it really work where it's like, they are deathly afraid I'm going to leave at some point, by the way. Are they really? Yeah. Because I leave, they're out. They could start their own thing.

I mean, like, what? Not the financial success they're experiencing now. Look, what if Ringo Star had left the Beatles and the other three decided to keep going? That's what I like it to. I don't think that's accurate. I mean, I hear what you're saying? Wait, who's leaving? Ringo left.

You're saying I'm Ringo. Yeah. I thought they were. I got caught up in the middle. You think you're all three of the Beatles other than Ringo and they're all Ringo? Let me tell you something, Dee Head. I'm at minimum, George. Maybe John.

I'd like to think I'm Paul. I see your Beatles ranking now. You know what? I like the Beatles. I don't love the Beatles. I would go Paul. You're a Chicago guy. You love Chicago.

If you'd grown up in Liverpool, you would love the Beatles. But you grew up in Chicago. I don't think it had anything to do with the city. It just happened to do. My dad liked the band and my best friend in high school, Gary loved them. And then he brought me to a he said, hey, let's go see Chicago at Chicago Fest, a festival for the city, not the band. But great booking. You have to agree.

It's a great booking. They were very proud of themselves that year. So did Chicago Fest happen any other year? It happened for about five years. Then for some reason, a new mayor came in and said, this is a bad idea, even though the city loved it. Right. But Gary insisted that we get there. It was a three o'clock show.

He insisted we get there at eight o'clock in the morning. Wait a minute. Three o'clock show? Oh, I see. It was a festival. Yeah, it was a festival. Yeah, Chicago did a three and an eight. Oh.

And we went to the three. But again, Gary wanted to get there early. So we got there at 8 a.m. And we sat in the front row. for, I don't know, seven hours waiting for the show? Who were their chairs? Benches. Benches is better, though, than standing the entire time.

Or, well, I would go crisscross applesauce. That's right. Not in those days. We'd call it something different back then. Yes, of course. I remember those days. That was the 80s where we could say things. Better times, right?

You get your fiero. By the way, Jimmy is kidding about this. He's not, if you don't know Jimmy's patented sense of humor. He is very humorous. That is one thing that I've always said about you. Don't. Don't condescend your listener. They get it.

They understand what happens on this program. You say worse things. I, L-O-O-W-A... No. Oh, sir. Million-dollar challenge. You just did the thing by Eugene Mermond. You pull up any tape of me saying anything worse.

I'll pull it up right here. Million dollars. Rewind five minutes. The Eugene Mervyn thing is awful. We love Eugene and we're sending him good thoughts. That's why I brought it up. That's how you presented it. That's why I brought it up.

Yeah, good save. Good spin. Speaking of spins, I don't know how that car... Right, God. All right, Jimmy, see? You started it. Jimmy, I've always, I've L-O-Led at you for so many years. Stop it.

We were, I sometimes L-M-A-O. Oh, the whole ass, huh? Yes, the entire asshole. Lost it. And, but we've been friends for many a year. We have. I want to say, if I, if I need to, if I can, I'm going to go with the 2001 is when we really became friends.

A Jimmy Pardo Odyssey. And I embarked upon that Odyssey and I never wanted to get out of it. You know what? That's kind of true. Yeah. We tried to pitch shows around town. We sold one once. We've been friends now a quarter of a century. You were there when I mentioned that I was going on my first date with my wife.

And I said what? You said, that's not going to work out. That's what I said. I said it's not going to work out. How long have you been together? 26 years. Longer than I've been friends with you. Wait, that's not true?

Oh, no, yeah. No. So we've been friends then for now. It must be almost 30 years. Well, again, 2001. No, 99 is when... You did. You grew up in 99.

All right, so then it had to be 98, 99 then. Yeah. Incredible. What a friendship. Oh, it's been great. It spanned millennia. The 90s? The 80s?

The 80th century? The 21st century. Yeah. Is that right? I don't know. No, 21... Yeah, 20th century, 21st century. Yeah.

You know what? I get confused about the centuries because of that 20th century Fox business. Buddy, you're reading my mind. You know what I mean? Like you sit down and you want to watch Star Wars, right? All you want to see is, is Darth Vader, have a great time, and then, Rump, Dunt, Runt, bum, and you're like, 20th century, and you're like, what year are we talking about? This is 1977.

Yeah, it's confusing. Why isn't it the 19th century? I understand why it's not. But wouldn't it just be easier if we all went that direction? I know. Like, we're about to, and I'm not bragging here, because you've been around 20 years. We're about to have our 17th anniversary, and yet we'll have been doing it 18 years. after that. Right? Yeah. Who needs this kind of confusion in your head? Numbers. Oh, but speaking of numbers, 20. 20 is the amount of years that you have been doing. Never not funny. People consider it to be the, not only the premiere comedy podcast, but the template that all other podcasts have spun out of. I don't know about all others. You were smart enough to go in a creative direction, but there are a lot of folks that basically just do a poor imitation of what I'm

doing, which basically is a part of imitation of Steve Dahl and Gary Meyer. We all imitate, we all have influences, and that's what's great. I know the great band Radiohead. I don't know if you know these guys. You know, I don't. If you could play a song right now, I would not know the name. I don't think I know any songs. You're a Chicago guy.

You weren't born in England like those guys. You were born in Chicago. You like Chicago bands. What if I only like Chicago band? Buckingham, Sauru Speed Wagon. Maybe cheap trick. If they get out of the city limits, you don't like it anymore. I'm out. Sticks I enjoy.

Are they from Chicago? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, Illinois. They don't wear those influences on their sleeve the way that Chicago does. I don't think they do either. What if they had called themselves Chicago's sticks? Oh, no, I think that's a mistake.

I think the name Chicago's a mistake. You do, really. Yeah, it's good. Do a Google search. The Band-Aid coming up first. No, I mean, people, that's part of the thing that you, I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time, kill Hitler. Maybe another person. Maybe another person.

Maybe not say that Eugene Merman joke. Listen, the big three. But I wish that I could go back in time and tell bands like X or Chicago like, no, you got to change your name. Because Google isn't invented yet. Not to mention Bing. Okay, don't. And then tell Bing like, hey, Bing thyself, you're going to get confused with Crosby. Enjoy your white Christmas.

Enjoy your white Christmas. Wait, we did a Bing Crosby thing once. We did. You and I did. You and I to have a duet of, uh, you're going to get a duet of, uh, the Bing Crosby David Bowie song. Little drummer boy. Little drummer boy that we'd put out on a CD single. We did.

And I have several of them right over there, actually. Do you really? I do. I do. I may need to take one of those from you. Oh, yeah, please do. Yeah. I have a small stash of like, oh, if I ever need to give things away for an auction or something like that.

Right. Things like that. Here's a funny thing about that. We went to a photo shoot. And I, because it's a Christmas song. We went to Sears, didn't we for a photo shoot? We did not. We went to the woman.

Oh, sorry, we went to Robin. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm getting that confused with the year before we all went to Sears. We did do that. We all.

And did a Sears photo shoot, which is very fun. So I showed up to that, to the Little Dorma Boy photo shoot. And I forgot my long sleeve shirt because it was a Christmas thing. Right, right. And this is the fall at latest. And so I'm in a white golf shirt. And but I think Robin might have had a green sweat, like a sweater vest I could put on. So I put that on, but I still have the short sleeve.

shirt and I remember going oh this is stupid I feel like an idiot and then everybody you were like how hysterical part I was wearing a shirt in the Christmas show like they thought it was part of your patented humor look what I'm doing that I mentioned earlier that I LOLS you're an asshole you're an asshole and it turns out it was just a mistake and how much of your success is is a mistake and how much of it was pre-planned 98% mistake 2% pre-planned isn't it incredible that this thing that you started just kind of for fun turned out to not only be a well spring of creativity for yourself, but also the medium which you pioneered

has become now what comedians all do. It's just an incredible story. Well, it's not just comedians. For some reason, movie stars also do them. Movie stars take time out of their day of their trailer to do their podcast. You've got our job already. So movie stars started encroaching upon game show hosting.

Well, they took that away from me as well. They took all of that away from all us regular people who would do those jobs happily. Yep. And then they were like, that's not enough for us. What else is part, O'Don? It's almost like they were coming after me. They, uh, yeah, they, uh, they, they crushed me in both the genres.

But you know what? You're not crushed because you've been doing this 20 years and we're all here to celebrate it. And we have a great audience. Our audience is loyal and, and just the, they're the greatest. I know you think yours are. And I'm sure yours are great. Do we have a lot of crossover? They're both better than the blank check audience.

We have to agree that. I don't know what the blank check audience is, but I'll agree with you. Because I think they're better. They're the most annoying audience. instant podcast. I don't know them. Who are they? Are they friends of yours? They're not friends of mine. How dare you? I don't know who they are. I don't know if you're do it. Don't you tar me with that brush. I don't know. Is that how you, was that how one tars? I don't know. I think you's a roller. I think you's a roller. Don't tar me with that roller.

All right. Ha ha. But we have wonderful audiences. But describe now your show for for anyone who hasn't been around for the last 20 years and wasn't there since the beginning like myself. What exactly is never not funny? How does one listen to it? How many episodes do you do a week? What is what is happening? We do two a week. One comes out for free. One's behind a paywall. We also have bonus episodes behind the paywall. You get video for every episode if you go behind the paywall if you become a platinum member. That starts at I think six bucks is pretty reasonable. That is so like insultingly cheap. Yeah. The fact that that people aren't just shelling, you know, like giving you thousands of dollars. Some people do and I thank those people.

Thank God for them. Boy, do I thank them because it makes up for the cheap skates that don't pay at all. Would it surprise you to know that I'm about five of those anonymously? It would not surprise me. It would not. In fact, I'm happy that you finally came clean on it. That makes me feel more comfortable. Well, it's not true. Oh, damn it.

I don't want to have a stolen valor situation. I've been bam. Go to never not funny.com. Again, we've got, I don't know, it's close to 2,000 episodes. And that seems low. But, I mean, uh... It probably is. We have almost, we're inching up towards a thousand.

So if you do two a week. I think we're 1870 something. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. It was great year. by the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Civil War, probably, happening. Listen to my show. It feels like that.

It's a battle between me and the guests. Civil War, though, the Guns and Roses song, not the actual event. Yeah, long and grading. That's my show. Not the actual event, which was short and sweet. So just get never enough funny there. It's this. If you want to try it out, there is a free version. You can get it. Oh, yeah. Once a week, it's free. Yeah. And I've got a great guy. I got Elliot Hochberg, who's our video producer and his own character, our quote unquote intern of 14 years, Garin Cockrell, who is just kind of a film nerd.

And then, as you mentioned, Matt Ballnep has been my co-host for the past 20 years. And it's, you know, Jimmy, you started your show, and I've said it many times in interviews and on this program, never to your face. But the reason that I had the confidence to do comedy bang bang is I appeared on your show. And I was like, this is a great medium. I feel comfortable in this medium. and Jimmy is doing it really well. I bet I could do a show as well. And so I thank you for that.

My pleasure. And you have inspired so many comedians out there. Thank you for that. I appreciate that you. It's you and Mark Merrin and in the old days, Chris Hardwick would be the three that would always, when people would go. Now, you were one of the first. No, no, no. Jimmy Porto.

You guys always give me that credit. I appreciate that. Whether the journalist puts it in the article or not, if it fits their narrative or not, sometimes it do not. Sometimes it does it, but we always try to credit you. Yes, they were working. of there's others that don't sure there were there were podcasts before you uh that that vj allen whatever is named uh created them adam curie that's right but there was keith and the girl before me uh the uh thrilling adventure hour i think uh maybe even predates us by like three

it might be two weeks it's pretty close right right and um but they they're they're sort of inactive sometimes they are doing it the entire time also and this is no disrespect to them i i already had a following from stand up so um my people knew who i was and so ours blew up right away and so and you are still a stand-up you're out there doing dates we'll save those for plugs okay but you are still out there people are available to or you are available to the people that they can see you in person they can see me a person that i do uh you know a merch sale and meet and greet after the show and then occasionally yeah your son who is now 18 he's 18 and a half 18 and a half, this kid has grown up before my very eyes.

He was doing writing trivia questions for your show. He did as a sixth grader. As a sixth grader, he was doing this. Now he's 18 and a half years old. He's opening for your shows sometimes. Every know that he was just on spring break, so he did a show with me at Zanies in Chicago, and then two shows at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington.

And I've said this before and I'll say it again. I say this is a comic, not as a dad. He's really good. And he's going to be, if he decides to pursue this, he's going to be great at it. If he decides to, he's going to school for screenwriting. And perfect time of the business is, he never been in better shape. So he's going by the name currently as A.I. Pardo. And I think that's going to be helpful to him.

Great. Yeah. So, and if not, everybody needs stand up. Everybody needs a jester. Well, he's, I mean, it's just really gratifying, I'm sure, to you. Oh, my God. It's the greatest. to see him

not necessarily following in your exact footsteps like pretend you're at a beach and you see all these footsteps you know like if you're trying to like land on every single one he's like landing on one or two that you've done but mainly because he walks

like Charlie Chaplin he can't that's 100% true he can't Is that true? His feet are bananas He also has the mustache right He wears the mustache Everybody's like wait a minute

Why are you a big Hitler fan? It's not Hitler it's Chapman I walk like Chaplin And so I grew this Look at the hat and Cade Hitler didn't wear this Does he could he could get a job at Universal Studios I'd like to see him do that

I'd like to see him make a living yeah I think that's a good living You take photographs with drunks Yeah right children Children love Charlie Chaplin Why are people drunk at Universal Studios at 1 p.m? They gotta tolerate it They gotta tolerate it

Have you seen the video of that fast and furious roller coaster? I'd like you to tell me more about it now Hey wish granted No I've not seen the video Oh look I'm obsessed on Instagram now the algorithm just feeds me videos of the Fast and Furious Roller Coaster, it hasn't opened yet. And does it look great?

Because you're a roller coaster guy? No, I'm not and I never want to go on another one, but I'm fascinated. I look at it and go like, maybe I would go on that. It looks so cool. It makes you, I know it goes fast, and then it makes you furious. Yeah. Because it hurts your back at our age. That's why I can't go on rollercoasters anymore. First of all, I used to love them.

Now when I get to that, you know, as you tick, tick up, all of a sudden, I'm like, what am I doing here? Why am I doing this? And then we, I have fun. Then I get off. And my spine feels like it was rattled and may not be in the same shape. What do you think about six flags closing all their parks? Not all of them.

But a lot of them. Is that true? Yeah, they're much like the screenwriting business. There's a constriction going on. Why? Because they're not making money, Jimmy. And that's what America is all about, the almighty dollar. Do you blame?

We know we blame. Yes. Yeah, we blame him. He's the reason for all. this. But still vote for him, you hillbillies. Now, we, of course, on comedy, bang, bang, we don't take a stand like you do on your show. Well, that was me speaking, not you? No, of course. You'll never know whether I agree or if I disagree with you.

That said, you did make it, yeah, you were wishy-washy on Hitler. You were unclear. You say you'd kill him. But then you love that stash. I kill him just because of, like, the bad PR he's gotten. Do you think it'd give you a good PR? Yeah, I think, no, I think I'd get a bounce. I think my star meter would go on. That's what I'm asking. Yeah, I think it would. Hey, who's the guy? The problem with killing. Hitler is then no one knows who he is and what he was going to do. And so they're like, oh, you killed someone, you fucking weird out? Yeah, you're a jerk. You know what I mean? Like, head directly to jail. But do not, what about I go? Do I pass it? No, you do not pass it.

Directly. Yeah, directly. Could I take a look at boardwalk as I go past? Well, let me map out the direction. No, I don't believe so. You know, when the great, and I mean this, and I don't want to, I don't want to bum people out, when we had the great Rob Reiner, I'm never not funny. Yeah. He has no idea. He never had the idea that he, he had the idea that because the game Monopoly came up and he goes, hey, you know what? At one point I used to know all the monopoly squares. Let's see if I could do it.

And then he started at Go and went all the way. Every square? Every square. And then he goes, the greatest part of which goes, and then here come the yellows. And then he did that. And the whole time he's doing it, and he's like, I know I'm wasting your time.

He's like, wait. No, this is podcasting. This is a show. In fact, if you leave now, it's a win. Yeah. He was the greatest guest. And it is a, it is a, our world is not, not the same without.

How many scores are we talking? 52 or 48? I don't know. Wait. I'm going to look this up. How many monopoly squares? I'm going to go with 48. I'm going to 48.

40. So it's less good. So you know what? Nice try, Rob. Yeah. You know what? It wasn't as great as I thought. Yeah.

Oh, well. You know, kind of like. Why didn't they bring that up in the Oscars? Show that clip. Why did I walk out with everybody else? You're next to John James. All those people that just me. Who's the guy at the end?

Rob Ryder did a Monopony thing on a show. I was, you know what? I'm the Cory Feldman. I got iced on this thing. You got iced, yeah. But Corey doesn't harbor any ill. No, he seemed to be rolled with the punches easily. Well, never not funny.

The 20th anniversary, you just had an amazing live event. I saw, you were there. I was there. And it was, you raised a lot of money for, uh, it was not, it was not a telethon. It was not a telethon. You were auctioning items off for charity. That's correct. And this was for...

You know what? I never get the name right. The American... Do you want to write it down here? I have a whiteboard here. Well, that's not going to be the helpful part. I thought maybe if you wrote it down on the whiteboard, you would be able to figure it out. No, it's really about my old man memory.

You can just say generally what it's for. Old man memory. By the way, never not funny, you have... The last 20 minutes are always singing, right? Of just... I would like the entire show to be singing. Sure. If you can get away with it.

Would you love to do just a full episode of this where you do nothing? Just singing. That's how. And no talking at all, not even introducing the concept. Just comes right into it. Yep. Welcome to Never Not Funny. Oh, you're going to sing new songs that, yes.

I may not go with that voice. I wasn't happy with that just happened. I may take some classic. It was beautiful and sonorous. What? What? You're now like swiping things on the phone. I'm not convinced you're on Hinge right now.

Shut it. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I only said shut it because it's a serious issue. Yes. American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in our former video producer and my former brother-in-law's name, Andrew Koenig, who is our original. He's the reason we started video. We did video before anybody else. He brought it to you and said, hey, I think that we could do video with this show.

And I was like, I don't think so. I don't think that's what podcasting is. Oh, no, you thought it was just, okay. Yeah, no, everybody wants to look at this. This is, you know. The moneymaker. Is that a phrase we could still use? Moneymaker?

It seems overused. Well, when you use it about your ass, it implies that people are having anal sex with you for money. Well, if it's accurate, that's your moneymaker. And these are the types of jokes that Jimmy makes on Never Not Funny. No, they're not. Here's the thing. I'm going to say two things about that. Anyway, Andrew Canning brought us the idea of video.

We were in early on video as well. I think it was just a one camera shoot at the time. It was just something capturing what we were doing. But, you know, now we have, I think, if I'm, I might be really. wrong. 97 cameras? There's a lot of cameras. There's a lot of cameras. Um, but I'm grateful for that and he was a great guy and so we were raising money in his name. And he passed on in 2009, I believe. 2010. January, February of 2010. And so we, and you have a tribute to him on every episode that you do. We do. And this is a great cause that, uh, you raised some good money for. And people can also donate to

and they could also buy the download and a portion of the proceeds of the download of the entire, what are we talking? One percent? Um, listen. Andrew, it was a great guy, but I've also got bills. It's a nice portion of it. Yeah. You know, there's expenses to run a... Sure, the cameras aren't free. 97 of them.

Thank you. Cost a little money. Thanks for understanding. But, no, it was a great event on Saturday. You were great. Paul of Tompkins was there. A lot of the comedy bang, bang, favorites were there. And people can buy it where now at Never NotFundee.com?

That's fine. And then every... That's fine. I think I was going to say fantastic, and it came out fine. It came out fine, and it was just... That's fine. That's fine. I mean, it's a compliment.

It's a fine website for them. I mean, if that's where you want to sell it, I've ever said anything is fine in my life. That was awful. That was just awful. Well, that's fine. We got another thing to change for that time machine. We got the Hitler. We got the other guy.

We got the Merman. Now we got this. The big four. Well, Jimmy Pardo is here. Never Not Funny. The 20th anniversary. We're going to be celebrating it all year long. and we need to take a break, Jimmy.

Is it okay if we take a break? And then I don't know if you've heard, but we have an actor and we also have a CPA here on the show. I heard him as an actress and a CPA. That's right. So we're going to take a break. We're going to be right back with more Jimmy Pardo.

More comedy bang, bang, bang. We'll be right back after this. Comedy Bang Bang, bang, we are back with Jimmy Pardo, never not funny, 20th anniversary. How many more you got in you? Another 20, another 40? Let's call it another 12. Another 12.

I think until I'm... That's a night... You know, that way you'd be... I'll be retired by that point. 32. 32 years. How long was Carson on? 30...

Gosh. I want to beat Carson. I'm coming after you, Carson. I honestly... And what about Leno? I hope Jimmy Peron doesn't beat me. How many years did? Oh, I was on a long time.

Jimmy doesn't have nearly as many cars as I do. By the way, that's a great impression. You'll hear all those types of impressions on. Never not funny. That's my... That's one of three that I do. Carson did the Tonight Show for nearly 30 years. Well, you know what?

How about you beat him? I'm going to beat him. I'm going to beat him. You think I do? I don't think that happening. I don't think so. Not the way you're looking at the day. Yeah, I know.

I'm in rough shape. It's not going to be your choice. You look great. No, you look great, Jimmy. You know what really looks great? Who's that? Your two guests. That's right.

Why don't we get to the first? They look fantastic. I'm not telling you how to do your show. I just wanted to compliment their appearance. Let's talk to our first guest here. she's an actress What, no? She's an actress You're telling me about it right here in Hollywood

Yes, right Well, who knows? It could be anywhere But we'll find that out when we talk to her Please welcome to the show Pearl Corgette Oh Scott, it's actually Pearl Corgette Corgette What did I say, Corgette? I think that's what you said Scott

And Corgette is how it's pronounced Oh, that's right Okay, is this a French pronunciation? Is it like... No, I'm from here Oh, you are? Yes, and I'm dreadfully excited to be here.

It's wonderful. I mean, I'm terribly honored that you had me on today. Of course, yeah. This is Jimmy Pardo. Hi, Pearl. Hi, nice to meet you. Maybe you could do his show someday. Oh, Pearl, I love to have you on.

Oh, it would be a dream, Jimmy. Do you sing? I do sing, I do you sing sometimes. Do you really? What do you sing? Well, I sing at the lounge. Have you ever sung Jeremy Pivot? Jeremy Piven.

Jeremy Piven. Why would you say that? Do you know what? I actually have sung Jeremy Piven. You have sung Jeremy Piven. That's right. Wow. At the Delta Lounge.

Oh, in the Delta Lounge. Or the Centurian Lounge. Oh, these are airport lounges? I believe they are. That's right. I sing at lounges. You sing at lounges. Oh, so you're a lounge singer.

Well, sometimes it's sort of a side gig, side hustle, of course. Of course, I'm terribly excited to be an actress, but we do need to have other jobs in this industry. Of course, yeah. Well, you got to maintain your money, you know. And that way you'll be able to focus on your craft. Pearl, have you done the Admirals Club? I'm a member of the Admirals Club. Really?

Do tell me more. What rank are you? You have to be an Admiral to go in. You had to do a little time. I was in the Kiss Army, so I'm allowed in. That's American Airlines, and they've got Admiral Clubs all over the world. Love it early. I'd love to see you.

Well, I would love to do that as well. I'd love to be in every lounge. But, of course, more than anything, I'd love to be an actor. So you say you're an actor. What have you done? Well, I'm just getting started. I'm 22 years old. Oh, okay.

Happy birthday. Thank you. I mean, that's young for actors, although, you know, like the Olson twins started when they were babies, I think. So you're actually kind of late to it. I feel really late to it. Everyone in my acting class that I take on Melrose is at least, I mean, they're all 19 years old, so I feel absolutely ancient Scott.

But I'm... Why are they all 19 years old? How did you get hooked up with a class where everyone is 19? It's true. Go to an acting class on Melrose. Everybody is 19 years old. That's not a lie. That's real.

All right. So you're 22. What have you, what are your credits, if you don't mind me asking? No credits yet, Scott. You've never acted on stage in front of a camera, anything? That's why I was so dreadfully and terribly excited to be here on this wonderful podcast in Los Angeles. I agree with you. I mean, I don't even a stage credit.

You've done no theater? I mean, Jimmy's done some stuff. Community theater even I've done You did the Comedy Bang Bang TV show Once every season, didn't you? I did, yes I think I did not make the final cut of the final season But that may have happened on season 5

That hurt me trim things for time But I gave you that footage Negative Yes, I didn't, you showed it to Oliver, you said And he loved it He loved it I don't think I liked my performance But I thought you were great I understood why it was cut

But I mean even even someone like Jimmy Who spends the majority of his time 98% of his time podcasting has been in in TV shows. Why haven't you done it? Well, not to worry, Scott. I do have a grindset mindset and I'm trying terribly hard. Of course, I'm told I have to make vertical front-facing videos and then perhaps I could be on a YouTube comedy show and then maybe eventually I could host an awards show and then maybe I could get...

That's a leap, by the way, from vertical videos to a YouTube comedy show to hosting an award show. Which one you want to host? Maybe the Oscars? Spirit. Oh, the Spirit Awards. Perhaps. Okay. And then, of course, maybe I could get cast there somehow. So, wait, you want to host an award show?

All before acting. Acting is going to be a benefit of these other items? Look, I mean, they just started giving Oscars to casting directors. They did. Which is like, I kind of want to host the Oscars now, honestly, get in front of those casting directors. I mean, I'm open to any advice. Of course, if you don't think this is the right path, I'm taking classes and working, of course, on my accent, told I have a dialect.

Yeah, what exactly? I haven't placed it exactly. It seems mid-Atlantic, sort of. But when you say you're working on it, you're working on it to sound like the way you do, or you're working on it to not sound the way you do? No, I'm from Calabasas. And so when I take classes, I'm just working on trying to fit into some of the most popular shows that are on today, see if I could speak like people in those shows.

Okay, so what are these types of shows? These are... I mean, shows we all know and love. Tulsa King, Landman. What else is there? Oh, Bridgeton, of course. And then... Of course, when the day I became a father, I turned on Yellowstone.

I was like, this is my show now. So you understand, Scott? Yes. You love Tulsa King. I have watched Tulsa. Look, we've had Martin Star, star of Tulsa King. Andrew Savage as well has been on our shows. Yes, many times.

And we love to see. them. I loved how Andrea Savage had sex with Sylvester Stallone in the pilot and didn't throw... No, she did throw up in it. When she found out his age, she threw up. The character. The character. The character. The character. Not actually. Not Andrea, but I thought that was a fun little twist. Well, my acting class, it's very TV focused and so, of course, they're terribly concerned about you sounding right for whatever show that you're going to be on. And this is what they're telling you to sound like. Oh, no, no. I've done a lot of work. Actually, I have other accents. Oh, I love, Jimmy.

Nothing would please me more to hear the accents for these various television shows. Now, do you want to take requests or are you just going to roll through them? Well, we could do something, maybe a contemporary show like heated rivalry, perhaps. Sure. Scott has not seen, but I know the basic gist is it's all about sex. Right. And hockey, I think hockey is involved. Oh, I didn't know hockey was involved.

I think that's the B-line, yeah. There's hockey, there's sex, two young men, and a, a, a forbidden romance. Not because they're gay, but because... Why is it forbidden then? Or are you just casting that? They're on opposing teams. Oh, boy.

Should have clarified? It's ironic they're on the same team in one respect and opposing teams and another. I think that's what makes the tension. That's what makes the rivalry. Oh, boy. Shot shot.

All right. So you can begin the scene. Oh, okay. Well, I'm just going to have to guess as I've not seen it. But hey, you want to have sex? Peel me a grape. Why don't you come see me sometime?

That's some of my dialect. This dialogue isn't ringing any bells. You're going to say you're going to do that for this hockey program? And with the first line, peel me a grape? I don't watch the show either. Is it all about... I recognize come up and see me sometime. Peel me a grape is new.

Is it from this hockey program? I don't understand. I have been told that... That, I mean, that I'm doing excellent work in my dialect class and I'm sounding modern. It sounded specific. I don't know whether it sounded modern necessarily. I mean, your calabasca's accent sounds very much like, you know, you're an actor. Like what?

You really want to add a, on the W.H. You really want to add a, by the way. But it doesn't sound the most modern out of any accent I've ever heard. But everyone talks different. That's right. Everybody talks different and every show is different and if only I could just set foot in Shonda Land or the Harmon verse or or the Harmon verse still around. Or the Sheridan's Fear. Oh, Taylor, yes. Yes. Maybe maybe even the Lawrence, the Bill Lawrence Puddle. Yes, of course. We're all watching Steve.

Corell, do his thing, Rooster! I like it. Yeah, he's wandering around. They're spending millions and millions of dollars to watch him wander around to college. I like Steve Carell. I love Steve Carell.

I do wonder, when he signs onto a show, does he say, I'll do this as long as I can die within the, like, one calendar year. My character. I'm not caught up. Oh, no, I'm just his other shows. Oh, it would be marvelous, marvelous to meet Steve Carell. like that. I would love it. I would love to be on rooster or shrinking or even Scrubs.

Yeah, Scrubs is back. I mean, what would you do on Scrubs? Would you be some sort of a, like, like, let's do a scene from Scrub. Yes, yes, absolutely. Who's Jimmy going to be? Oh, I'd like to do it. Okay, well, you can be Zach Breath. All right. Hi, I'm, I got- Keep him away from AI, by the way. And it's not my podcast that said that. I don't know who's... Oh, you got it. No, let's explore that. Nope, nope, nope.

I will say no more, but a former... A few former comedy bang bang guests may have spilled the beans on that. Is that right? That's right. But anyway, okay, you're Zach Braff. Who do I get to be? Please don't say the other guy. You're going to be the young Zach Brath.

The one he cast to be sort of like him. Oh, I haven't watched it, but okay, this sounds good, okay. I haven't watched it either. Who did he cast to be the young him? Just a guy? Just a guy, okay. Kind of a charming guy. Charming guy.

All right, I'll be the young Zach Braff, Jimmy, you be Zach Braff, and who are you going to be now? I'll be a nurse. Okay, great. All right. We'll be talking to each other when the scene starts. I think we should get four CCs of a moxas of this gentleman right away. How many Csies? One, three.

Nope, nope. Say, you two. Why don't you come see me sometime? Okay. Peele me a grape. I don't. Again, I don't know if that's accurate. Oh, but that's seen.

I don't know if that is for scrubs. I don't know. Is it sanitary to have grapes in the operating room? I don't think in the operating room, no. Maybe in like a patient's room in the hospital, but I don't think in the ER. No, you should not have grapes. Yeah. I'm watching the pit.

I've not seen any grapes. Yeah. You hear my rap about the pit, by the way? You mean like a rap rap? Yeah, yeah. I made a rap about the pit. You can look it up on YouTube. Oh.

Really? Yep. I kind of thought, and here it is. That's what I thought was about to happen. Oh, no, no, no, no. All right, I kind of look it up? Yeah, oh, sure, look it up. On you in your spare time.

On YouTube. Yep, sure. Scott Arkman wraps about the pit. Okay, so it sounds like you two don't think I should be on scrubs, so perhaps something maybe more of a period piece. Oh, yeah. A period piece now that, you have a certain vibe that would fit in well there. So what type of period piece are we thought?

I guess, well, there is, of course, Bridgeton, dreadfully wonderful show. Bridgeton. Art of Chondaland. Shondaland. I've not seen any, not even a scene of it, but from what I can tell, it's young people having sex. Right. Okay.

Well, we can do one of those scenes. Okay. Who am I going to be, and please be careful? You're a young gentleman, and we're having a forbidden romance. Okay. And who's Jimmy going to be, like, my manservant? Oh, I'm happy to be that. I guess, yes, Jimmy's there as well.

He's a man servant. Here we go. Hey, man-servant, wash my chamber pot. Uh, we'll do, sir. Where's your accent from? Well, I'm from the area. The area. Oh, of course.

I thought I recognized. And I'm going to get the number to scrub that chamber pot. Yes. Scrub it twice. A lot of elbow grease. Please. A lot of what now? Elbow grease.

Elbow grease. Yes. Somebody getting in there. Lord Bridgerton. Hi. Um. Hello. Who are, who are you?

I am, of course, your lover. Oh. You didn't recognize you, sir? She's here on a daily basis. So random to see you here. Yeah, it is, as you say, random to see you, yes. Randomly? My voice. Yeah, you changed a little bit. You've got to mix it up a little bit. I'm going up to your level now.

Well, careful. And scene, I think that was wonderful. You're calling that was the scene? First of all, great scene. It wasn't a bad scene. Now let's critique the little tiny minutia. here. I do wonder, like, that particular voice, you thought that sounded, period, because that sounded the most modern of any of the voices that you've done. That sounded like a current voice. It did, yes.

Gosh, well, I have to talk to my teacher about this. Yeah, maybe you could Freaky Friday your accents. You know what I mean? No, I don't understand, Scott. You know, maybe you could, what happens? I've never seen Freaky Friday. Do they get hit in the head or with a shovel or something? why do they switch places? So you're telling me Freaky Friday, two women get smacked on the head with shovels. Yeah, or they smack each other because they're mad that, you know, they stole each other's boyfriend or something? Well, then what about Freaky Friday too? Freakier Friday.

What happens there? Are they going to do freaky-est Friday, do you think? They better, and I'd love to be a part of it. Give us a little taste of that. Yeah. What would that be like? Who were we going to be in this? Are there men characters in this movie?

I don't know if there are. No men characters. Does it pass the reverse-bectal test? And what's that called? The Lulb... It's the Scott test. Okay, the Occurban test. It's the Occamund test.

Ironic that Funnheim didn't even pass the Bechtel test. Anyway, go ahead. Let's talk about it. Well, uh... No, thank you. I guess, yes, so if, if I, I mean, if I ever do have the honor of being in a picture like that in Freakius Friday, but it would be a dream. And I guess we can try it out here.

All right, great. I'll be, uh, I guess I'll be Lindsay Lohan's. husband. She's probably Why do you have to be a man? You can't play a woman? I think that's cultural appropriation or whatever the gender version of that is, so I prefer not to. I'll be your silent buddy.

Like silent Bob. Oh, I'll be Jay. All right, you're Jay. Yeah, okay. They've cast Jay and Silent Bob in this movie for reasons nobody understands. Yep, okay. All right, this is good. Great. All right. Snoochies, boochies. Does he even hum? I don't know what he does. Does he make any noises? like mimes things and then has a grappling hook.

So I say, I literally, I do nothing. I don't even go, mm. Yeah, sometimes, I mean, he makes faces. All right. Yeah, yeah. Let's assume that me doing that is just me making a face. Okay, great. Snoochie boochy.

That's all I know. Hey, when... Scott, do you need me to set the scene a little bit for you? Sure, yeah. Perhaps tell you what's going on here. Okay, so is it a set the scene? Is it a guy who says snoochy boochy? And a guy who says, that's what we got.

It could be a guy who says snoochy boochie. But maybe it's easier if perhaps I'll be Lindsay Lohan. You'll be Lindsay Lohan's husband. Sure. And then your Lindsay Lohan's husband's silent friend. Happy to do it. Okay, great. All right.

And I'm acting a little bit different, aren't I? Because, of course, I've been swapping bodies with my mom. Okay. And this happens again that it's the same bodies. Yeah. Okay, here we go. No, this one is in the second one, it's four bodies get swapped. Four bodies get swapped.

The third one is probably going to be a whole. Like everyone on Earth. We all swap. Yeah, and then you have to find the person, and it could be, it's, you know, it's like a pluribus kind of thing. It could be in the deepest, darkest reaches of Africa or something like that. Scott, this is an incredible idea, and I'm being told also that if you want a role, you have to write it now. That's right. And I've mailed this to the WGA, by the way, so I own it.

You beat her to it. Yep. Oh, my goodness. Oh, boy. We all heard me come up with it. I saw no stamp. Another important Hollywood lesson. I don't think we're going to do the scene, Scott.

You're opting out of the scene? I'm the guy who's going to cast this. I would love to do this scene. You're right, you're right. Oh, never turn down an opportunity. Always be ready when it should strike. All right, here we go. So I'm talking to Lindsay the other day, and she's like,

what's today? And I was like, it's Thursday. She's like, oh. Can I stop? Yeah, because we're going to have to do a second take on this, sir. Oh, we are? I think Lindsay is the actress's name. I don't think it's the character's name.

So I know that you're going to do second take. So you're just going to have to use whatever that was. Yep. Who are you? DJT? Who are you? Who am I? Oh my God.

That's in the freaky Friday? Scene. Who are you? Oh, it's seen. I got no info. She gets all the blackouts. I'm going to call blackout one of these days. What?

You would like one? Yeah. She wouldn't allow it. Well, that was, what kind of voice was that? What accent did you think you were doing? Well, Lindsay Lohan has a similar upbringing to me. From Calabasus. Well, she spent a lot of.

time in Los Angeles, so probably sounds similar. And then I thought, well, maybe her experiences have made it a little more heightened, a little more dramatic. But of course, she's a wonderful actress and a terrific person. And I'd be honored to be in a movie. Even near her in a movie would be a dream. Well, look, I own the rights to Freakiest Friday, this version where everyone in the world swaps places with one person.

Oh, it would be cool if it was like on the exact opposite place of the earth. Yes. That would be awesome. so that you had to travel like exactly. It's like the amazing race meets Freaky Friday. Yeah, exactly. But what would be weird is do more people live at the North Pole than at the South Pole? Yeah, of course, Santa and all of his else.

Well, Scott, would a lot of people be swapping with dolphins and whales and such? No, no, I would imagine because like not every piece of land on Earth has an opposite, you know, sometimes it would be the ocean. So, yeah, that would be cool. That's a great idea. I'd mail that to myself as well and to the WG. Wait, you beat her to the punch on this, too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just got to be quicker, I suppose.

Yeah. You got to have an envelope at the ready at all times. Have an envelope at the ready, a TikTok every day. Mm-hmm. Reels as well. Sure. You could probably double up of those. Film a podcast.

No, they have to be separate. They have to be separate. Film a podcast. And what was the vertical thing you mentioned? Those are pretty much. Right. Exactly. Yeah.

Look, I think you're on the path to success. I, you know, I don't like to predict. these things, but I think that you may be a huge Hollywood star and hosting every award show. Has anyone ever done that hosted every award show in one calendar year? I don't think so. I don't think there's like the grand slam of hosting. Yeah, they should. Has Conan done every single one of them? I know he's probably done the Emmys and the Austrians and the MTV. Is he's done three that I know of? He's done three. Probably more. He should do the Tonys and he should do the, what are the other ones? Grammys. Trevor Noah had those on luck for too many years. Yeah, let's get over.

He's vice-like grip on the Grammys. But now he's out. They got rid of him. Well, he's stepping down because it's moving off of CBS now. It's moving to, I think everything's moving to streaming. Yeah, it isn't going to do see. Well, I don't like to make predictions on this show, but I do predict you're going to be a huge Hollywood star. And then you'll qualify to be on Never Not Funny.

Not quite sure how you got booked on this show, but would you like to stick around? We need to take a break. Oh, I'd love to. Thank you, Scott. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more Pearl Corgette or Corge. What is it again? Corgette.

We're going to have more Jimmy Pardo. Plus, we're going to have a CPA. We're going to be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang Bang, Bang. We're back. We have Jimmy Pardo, never not funny. 20th anniversary is here. You can get all of the free episodes out there out from behind the paywall.

They are not. If you want back, like 7, 8 back catalog, you've got to be a platinum member. Platinum member. At one of the levels. It's well worth it. Yeah, there's 1,800 shows.

1800 shows. Who knows if you'll be even a lot. If someone started right now and just listen to it continuously, how long would it take? Well, let's, what's 1800 episodes times two? 3,600 hours. You're going to divide that by 24.

I am? Yes, you are. 24. You're going to, because that's how many hours are in the day. And then we're going to figure out the days. The Jack Bauer. I thought you went by two months or two years. I don't understand why I'm doing it.

No, no, a $3,600 divide by 24 is, let's see, one, carry the 12, 100,000. It's 100 days. Is that right? That can't be right. No, she's low. No, it's one, it's about 150 days. And people don't get to sleep. They got to stay awake all.

They got to stay awake. 150 days they've got to stay awake. You could do that. Anyone could do that. And seen. Oh, okay. Oh, thank you, Pearl. Pearl's had enough.

Pearl's calling blackouts now just in our conversation. She's actually can't take this anymore. Oh, my God. I don't blame her. Never Not Funny. 20th anniversary, everything at Never Not Funny.com. We also have Pearl Corgette here, an actress. Scott, the break.

I booked Pearl on the show. Congratulations, Pearl. Thank you so much. I remember another Pearl who had a similar success story. Pearl from Funnier Die, Adam McKay's daughter. Oh, yes. She showed up at the door, yeah. So I see.

big things with you in a similar fashion to that pearl. I'm so terribly excited, Scott. Do you think she's still rude to landlords? I would imagine, based on her upbringing. I mean, and the public perception of landlords has only dimmed since then. So, man, she was really, she was a pioneer. Yeah, she truly was. Let's get to our next guest, and hopefully he's a pioneer, much like Pearl was.

He is a CPA. Please welcome Greg. Gosh, Greg. It's Greg AIMA. AIMA. Greg Aemnay. I'm sorry. A.M.A. That's A M-N-A-Y. That's right. Okay. Greg A-M-N-A-N-A-Y. Scott, thank you for having me here. Hi, Jimmy. Hi. Hello. Nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you. Yeah. You're a CPA, which stands for certified public accountors. And how does one get certified in a business like this? Is it like when I went and almost got my scuba certification? Oh, it's a little bit more involved than that. I did have to go to a, you know, a college. for it. But I've been doing it for, I guess, about 17 years now. 17 years. That's fantastic. Yeah. So ever since, I guess, 2009, oh, 17 years is when we started doing this show. You think that's why? Yeah, were you inspired by this show to become an accountant? Or I, yes, I was. Really? I just kind of said that jokingly, but you really were. The thing I really zeroed in on was a lot of your guests had jobs, and I said, I should get a job.

They usually come on here and they talk about their job. Yeah. So, I mean, I'm so glad to hear that 17 years ago we were so inspiring to you. It's thrilling for me to come full circle and be here now. Did you ever listen since 17 years ago? Never again. Haven't had a chance to check in. I've been very busy.

Very busy crunching those numbers. And then, you know, doing the work. And now I'm kind of in the, I'm established enough that I like to sort of make public appearances close to tax time. It's a busy week for you. Is it not? And just to sort of let people know it's not too late to get your taxes filed. And it's also not too late to get some IRS approved tips for saving money on your taxes, which I'm hoping to provide to. We have a good three, unless you filed an extension, we have like three days or so that people can get all this together.

What are some of the tips that you would give to people doing their taxes now? Well, I guess if you've waited this long, you're probably procrastinating. So maybe I should start with the basics. So I'll start with like the first question that any client comes to me with, which is, is there a ceiling to the amount of money that I can write off related to the purchase or maintenance of my pet pig? That's the first question. Yes. I'm sorry, did you say pet pig? My pet, yeah, your pet pig.

Your pet pig. So a lot of your clients have pet pigs and they're wondering. Yeah, I'm assuming, yeah, pretty much all of them do. I'm assuming, and I'm assuming you guys all have pet pigs as well. I, Jimmy, do you have a pet? I've never, I've known you for so long. I've never asked you that question. I am allergic to most animals, so I do not have a pet pig.

I would love one. I would love nothing more to have a little babe around the house. Pearl, what about you? Well, it breaks my heart to say this. I don't have a pet pig, no. You don't. Have you ever desired one? No, no, was I supposed to?

No, no, no, no. Well, you will after you hear about this. Oh, yeah. Because I'm going to encourage all of you guys. You actually have until the 15th to get papers on a pig, and then you can actually shelter it into the previous tax year. Okay. Because there was a big change in the tax code last year

and the amount of money that you can claim under the state and local pigs tax deduction amount. You know your terms. It has jumps from $10,000 up to $40,000. $40,000 for the pet pig. You can write off $40,000 of your income on this pig? And I suggest that everyone do, because otherwise that's money that you, you're giving to the government. Jimmy, I mean, I know you're allergic to animals, but you love money more than that.

I love money, money, money, money, money. It's just pigs, no other animal? I haven't really ever looked into a fair. You've never looked into this? No, I've been really focused on pigs. Okay, okay. So, I mean, we don't know, but. Would you get a pig?

If you could write out $40,000, this gentleman's suggesting it. Hell yeah. Super easy. You could hop right on the PPN right now, the pig placement network or... The PPA, I've never even heard of the pig placement. the pig placement network. That's okay. I understand that you don't have a pet pig, but you've never heard of the pig placement network or no no. Southern California Association of Miniature Pigs. No, I'm sorry. No, I guess I'm not really clued into the whole pig culture.

So maybe I've, maybe I've seen it and I've just never really, it's not seeped into my consciousness or I don't want to, I don't like to shame people that have sort of not gotten their taxes taking care of yet. But I just, do you do you, do you, like giving money to the government? I mean, because... I don't... I mean... You're giving to my...

I'm telling you right now. I like to get my fair share. There we go. And that fair share has to be very, very low. You can get it lower if you... You want to just sort of

shelter your money into a pig. Money to the government. No. Money to a pig. Yes. What do you... What are you talking about? Shelter money into a pig.

You can write up to $40,000. So as long as you're spending money on the pig... pig, those are all things that you can write off. You have to prove that you've spent it on the pig, though? Yes, of course. I don't think I could spend $40,000 on it. What do you recommend, Greg?

How do I spend $40K on my pit pig? I could go through some of my, I mean, I could really claim more than that, but just some of the stuff I've spent on a peg, my pig, this week. Peg is the name of your pig? Does that get confusing ever? No, I actually think it's very cute. Look, I'm not disputing the cute. I'm just saying like if you were to say like peg, you know, in a certain act,

people might think like it could be one of the other 20 pigs that are. Or if you wanted to just say the wood peg. Yeah. Like I want to peg you. Exactly. And then your pig is like, hello, I'm right here. You're like, not you. That's jail and curls.

It does get confusing only in that my pig's name is peg, but my wife's name is pig. So that's not. That cannot be. Is that true? Yes. Yeah, pig. It's short for Pignacia. What a beautiful name that is.

That's a beautiful name. Yeah, that's gorgeous, actually. Yeah, I've never thought about that. Peg is a song by Steely Dan. Is that playing into this at all? That do. That do. That do?

That do. Thank you, Greg. Well, this, I mean, so what are you spending on your pig then? Your, Peg is your pig. This week, well, I, I spoil her a little bit, so I spent $700 this week on an air maze. a leather harness. Okay. Airnays.

Of course, I'm spending, I'm spending about $3,000 a week on private chef. Private chef for Peg. $150 an hour for armed security, private security for Peg. Does Peg need a nanny? That's another side hustle that a lot of actors. Oh, yeah. That's a great idea. Do you need a pig nanny?

Greg, a pig nanny. You know what? She does need a driver to help her get to and from work. That's something that... What is Pegg has a job? Yes. Peg is a data analyst for Kaiser Permanente. Peg the pig?

Yes. Or we're talking about your wife, pig, right now. No, I'm talking about my, no, my wife pig is, does gun repair. My, my gun repair. What's, what's going wrong with this many guns that someone that's living? Well, you gotta get them fixed. You gotta clean them? There have been, I'm sorry to say, it's a business is booming.

Don't you just throw away your gun if it's not working? Just buy a new one. I see that in movies all the time. It doesn't work. They just toss it. They just throw it at the person. They don't even care. Yeah.

No, that's bad. Especially if somehow your pig has damaged the gun, you can write that off. You can shelter that into your pig as well in terms of the 40,000. Okay, you shouldn't be keeping your guns unlocked to rent your pigs, I think. Do you have children? No. Okay. That's maybe a good thing.

It's just the three. It sounds like this is very expensive for you to be spending so much money on these pigs. I don't see it that way, because this is money that I'd be handing over to the government, and instead I'm handing it over to, to a pig who I love. Do you know how this works? It's not, you wouldn't be handing

the equivalent value of this money over to the government. I think I know how it works. He's the certified public account. A write-off is just... 17 years. He knows his stuff. Okay, you know your stuff.

What else are you buying for your pig? What else am I buying for the pig? I am spending probably $400 a month in riding lessons. Right? What is, riding a horse? Yes. She can't just work.

work all the time, Scott. She has to have hobbies as well. Okay. I think it's bizarre that your pig is working. And the, why was, I spent all the money on her in taking that coding boot camp and then she's sort of, it was a boot camp, not just a regular course? Yeah. Does she paycheck as well, the pig? Oh, no. Penn does not paycheck. That's part of the beauty part of it. Yes. Oh, okay. Look, I, I don't mean to overstep. It's, of course, a miracle. I'm even here. But do you spend any of this money on your wife, pig? She has her own money. We have made a choice to have separate account.

So gun repair is doing well for her. It's doing better than being a CPA right now. She's, she's, she's, she's, a pig related CPA, I can imagine. I do other, I feel like I'm getting a lot of resistance from my pig tips, which I don't understand it all, but I can move on to other tasks. It's confusing, Greg. I'll be honest. Well, you guys, you're an actress, right?

And you guys are in the industry. So you guys are. Yeah. I mean, I hate the questionable nature of that. But yeah, we are. Your self-employed your independent contractors. Yes, yes. And I haven't made any income yet.

Well, this is something because you're about to be on Never Not Funny. You're going to start making money. Something that you will want to do is as an independent contractor, you know, you can write off your home office on your taxes. You calculate the square footage of your home office, compare that to your house. And then another thing you can do, if you've got to, you. guys do take my advice and get a pig is you can write off your bedroom if you let your pig sleep in the bed with you okay we're back to the pig things i thought you were going to give us other advice well that i just it just it seemed like you were giving normal advice you want no no pig

segued into pigs well you know you know how when you're on social media you can mute certain words you know i would love to mute you saying pig so i guess i won't ask it you have a follow Well, I guess it just sounds like you share a bed with peg and pig. Yeah, we have a California king. It's tight, but we're all... Are you in the middle? Me and Peg and Pegg's in the middle. Which one is Peg?

Peg is the pig. Okay. And my wife's name is pig. And do you ever get amorous with either? Scott. If I'm asking about your wife, why are you taking such umbrage? Not well, Peg's in the bed right there. She's just to get up and go to work in the morning.

That's fair. So you're saving your love-making times for when Peg goes to work. Meanwhile, pig's at home. No, pig has her own gun repair shop. So what are you just jerking off all day? Can you write that off? One of them. I beseech you.

Why are you concerned about this? Well, I want our guest to not be sexually frustrated. All right. You guys don't like the pig. Nobody said we didn't like it. I just confused it. It doesn't apply. Not everybody has to pigs, right?

I think, yeah, a lot of our listeners don't have these picks. I'm going to disagree with you there, but for the people in the room, maybe there are other people like that. Well, one thing you could do is you could also put money into various accounts. There's three accounts. I always tell people about you get really two, only two are going to apply to you guys, but you could put some money into a 401k or an HSA. So the third pig is, the third account is pig related? Is that, is that what I'm getting?

It's an SRA, yes. It's a Sue a day retirement. Okay. Well, she's not going to be a data analyst forever. She's going to retire at some point. She's got to be taken care of. Okay, okay. You know what?

I opened the door that time, and I regret it. But it's my fault. I think you guys are being very close-minded. I get the vibe that none of you are going to race out to Chatsworth or to Valley Center or one of these places that you'll find on the PPN and get yourself a pig today. you have time. Why are these towns so why did they have all the pigs? That's where the farms are, Scott.

Okay. All right. And there's places all over the country for, I'm assuming, there's tons of listeners, not in California. We're not just a California-based podcast, although a lot of the references, people would assume that. You and I both. But, I mean, these are mainly unhelpful tips, but... What about, how about charitable?

donation. Charitable donation. I would love to hear about it. Because a lot of times I'm looking for places to put my money, but I also wonder how much I can actually donate. I mean, there's a number of great places that you could give money to. The one place I would spotlight right now is the Harvest Angels Food Bank. Okay.

What do they do? Where are they located? They are located in Valley Center, California. Okay. And they help pigs who like to get on America's Got Talent. Oh, wow, a talented pig. Yeah, pigs that want to become famous. No, that's something I could get behind.

Has a pig ever been on America's Got Talent? Not yet. And that's why they think they're due? That's why who thinks they do? The pigs think that they can get on America's Got Talent because, like, naturally we'll get to them because there hasn't been one? Let me be clear. I'm a certified public accountant. I don't know what goes on in the inner minds of pigs.

Right, because pigs don't actually speak English, right? No. I feel silly even asking that question. I'm glad you did. You are glad I did. I'm glad you did. What about that pig in Charlotte's Web? He had a little something to say.

Yeah, although were they just speaking their own languages and they could understand each other? I'm not quite... Oh, wait, but no, then doesn't the spider, like, put in... The spider writes in the web. Some pigs. And so that spider knows English, but I wonder if that spider just happens to know various languages, is speaking spider to the pig. The pig speaks spider, but then is like, okay,

I'm going to put this up in English because the farmer knows English. I mean, I know Peg doesn't speak English, but she does communicate through tapping of her hooves. And that's how she communicates with her co-workers and friends. And she speaks coding languages. Yeah, she understands

coding, yeah. She understands English. But I think dogs understand English. I mean, what's that famous horse that everyone thought was adding? No, you're going to have to let me finish. What's that famous horse that... Secretary.

No, guys, I'm afraid there's a little more to the sentence. What's that famous horse? Black beauty. I mean, arguably these days, yes, the most famous horse. But the famous horse that would tap its foot and its owner thought that it knew math. Donkey from Shrek. Not a horse. It was donkey, I think.

Not a horse, but a very funny character. We all admit. Lice of Parfay. The owner thought that it was, it would give it mathematical problems and it would tap the... Well, that's the first mistake he made. The owner?

Yeah. Okay, what's the last mistake? Owning the horse. Owning the horse. If you're trying to save money and your taxes, make sure you do want to own a pig, you do not want to own a horse. That's very bad for your taxes.

Oh, really? Why is it owning a horse? You can rent a horse or you can visit a horse, but once you own a horse, according to changes in the tax code, the government then sees you as your own sovereign nation because that's the start of an army. Really? It's true.

A lot of women in my acting class own horses and, well, they're queens. These 19-year-old queens are owning horses. That's right. Come to Melrose. See what I'm talking about. They're all out of horseback. Can I ask you a question? Are you from Calabasas?

That's right. That's where Pig is from. You have the same accent. So Pig does speak. No, pigs is. wife. No, my wife is pig. My pig is peg. What was pig short for again? Pignacia. And what is Pegg's short for? Uh, uh, Peggatha, I think. Really? You've never asked. She came with her own name. So you, you, when you, again, just, just check out the PNAS. They handle all this for you on the PPN.

PPN does it all. Clever Hans, by the way, is the name of the horse that. And what would do? This gentleman would, say, hey, seven plus four. And then then it would, then it would, then it tap its feet and even the owner thought it could do these math problems. And then they found out it was because of the way the owner was breathing. Once it reached the right answer, it would like his physical body would change or his breathing would change. And then the horse would know to stop. But the guy also was excited. It wasn't a scam.

It wasn't a scam. He thought my horse could do it. No, no. They talk about it with AI, how like everyone thinks AI is alive. but it's really a clever Hans situation. Oh, I don't, okay. I'll Google that and you wrapping. I got two things.

Yeah, you got two assignments. All right. I know it's a very busy 20th anniversary. I'm also going to buy a pig. I've got three things to do. Yeah. Now, you own the pig and you consider yourself to own a pig. Is that, is that right?

Yeah. Is it, no, I mean, is it moral? Is it moral? Yeah, because it seems like you've, you know, you're, you know, it seems like you love this pig. And it's, but is it right to own? an animal? Yes. I think so. At least where I'm from. I mean, I don't know. Where are you from? I'm from Glassel Park, California. And your name, Greg Amnay, that's that's pig Latin for name. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes, it is. Is that right? That is true. First time it's come up. First time it's

come up. Holy smoke. And this is a real live animal and not a piggy bank? No, this is a real animal. Okay. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Why are you? so concerned that I have some sort of extra something going on. What did you just pull out of your bag? Scott described that for me. I have to take a, I don't have my phone on. Can you take a picture of this, Jimmy, possibly? You brought out the largest jug of the cloudiest liquid I've ever seen.

I'm having a colonoscopy tonight. Oh, tonight? Yeah. There's a weird timing. I've got to do. Oh, I disagree. Are we talking midnight colonoscopy? Yeah, Friday night colonoscopy.

I've worked hard all week as a CPA and now I'm going to take a nice nap. Okay, so you have to drink that whole thing? Yeah. By when? By the end of the show? Yeah. How much more time do we have an hour or two left? No, no, no.

We have a plea. We only have like 10 minutes at most. You're just starting it now. It's good. It's good. Yeah. It is not good. It is very good.

It is very good. It is very good. I'd love to give you some, but I'm supposed to drink the whole year and myself. I would love to not have anything. It's very good. It's Clem Pick or Clempeak. I don't believe. I've had a colonoscopy recently.

I don't believe you. Greg, I think it's supposed to be half now, then you'd have half later. You don't have to do it all in one. I figured I could just double it. I don't think that's how to do it. I'm worried about you. This is a late addition to your mythos,

by the way, that normally... What ethos? I'm a regular man. Okay. So I come on your podcast and I'm allowed to be a CPA and that's it, just in the same way that my pig can't have a job, and my wife can't be named pig. thing, not this colonoscopy drink

that you brought out. It's huge, Greg. It's a member of my family who I love. Who happens to be saving me thousands of dollars every year. You want to give your money of the government, go ahead. I'm giving my money to my pig. Money, government, no money pig, yes. Okay, all right. All right, Greg.

Look, you're a very interesting guy and you've returned back to your colonoscopy drink. Greg, please stop drinking Well, I've got to drink it Yeah, he's got to Pearl I've got it, I've got it Schedule

I thought it was an OCD I saw Greg move the coasters over And put them all in a line I'm like, what an OCD thing is happening? No, he needs four coasters To get this giant drink on It's a I know this is an audio podcast But it's a big bottle

Yeah, it is I think of one coaster isn't going to get it Oh my gosh Well Greg, thank you for being here And give us these tips We are running out of time if that's okay. We really only have time

for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called plugs. You got no place to hide. Oh, yeah, that was theme song from Plug Bag Night's

Season 2 by Partario. Thank you to Partario. And speaking of people that sound like Partario, Jimmy Pardot. Hi. What do we plug it?

Obviously, Never Not Funny. Everything's available there at Never Not Funny.com. That's right. 20th anniversary. But I will be, you mentioned my stand-up comedy earlier. Yes.

And so here's... Always a great night at the theater. Thank you very much. In fact, I will be at the bug theater in Denver on the 29th of April. I will also then, the next night,

be at the Tacoma Comedy Club on Thursday, the 30th of April. I then drive down to Portland. I'll be at the Siren Theater. What a drive. It's a beautiful drive. Oh, gorgeous.

That's on the first of May. May Day. May Day. May Day. We're going to have fun tonight. That's how you can remember. What? In the middle of my plugs were doing that?

Sure. I've got... I've got tickets to move! And then the next slide I'm in Salt Lake City, the 2nd of May, Salt Lake City at the Wise Guys Comedy Club. Come on out, one show each... No, Portland's two shows.

Come on out. Fantastic. You're one of the original Wise Guys, too, I was reading. Yeah, it's right on my Wikipedia page. I need to probably have that removed, but it is on the page. There is no better night at the theater than going to see Jimmy Pardo do his stand-up.

Hamilton's close. Hamilton's close. can get it. Yeah. You know what? I'm a lay-miz guy. You've always said that. Yeah.

Because you, because you really relate, you stole some bread. I stole and ran early in my life. That's right. All right. Pearl, Pearl, what do you want to plug?

I mean, obviously, you don't have a lot of work, but your upcoming appearance on Never Enough. Oh, it's exciting. Oh, hello, Scott. Hello. Oh, why are you got, Pearl?

I'd like to plug, well, in my acting journey, I've taken some improvisation classes. and I've been seeing some amazing shows at the upright citizens brigade, specifically on... The one in Los Angeles? The one in Los Angeles on Franklin and near Bronson. Sure. We don't need to give out the exact address necessarily.

And there's Bronson and... No, that's all right. Cheramoy. Yeah, no, you can keep going. It's by the Cheramoye School, sure. But I would suggest people come see Harold night. A fun show Monday night. This is a man named Harold who does what?

now? Oh, Scott, that's clever. It's actually... It's so funny because, like, I, I, I, L-O-L at Jimmy over here, and just to see the succession, now, you're laughing at me, it's like the succession of laughter. It is. You know? It's a beautiful thing, a wonderful thing. And you would laugh a lot if you came to the Upright Citizen Brigade and saw a show called

Harold Knight, no man named Harold, and a team called Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. But a man named Harold possibly could be performing. Then we got a pig peg situation that if Harold's right, if Harold's doing the Harold. Yeah.

All right. Can't be the first person to say that. Greg Aemnay. Greg Aemnay. Yeah. Yeah. No, what do you want to plug, Greg? To stop picking up your drink right as you're about to talk.

Tonight I'll be at, you know, we're going to be tonight. The Kaiser Permanente on sunset getting a colonoscopy. A night colonoscopy. Yeah. All right. All right. Sure. Stop Swiggin. You're in the middle of your plug.

I've got to get it done. I'm going right there. Well, you know, I don't have anything else to plug, but one of my clients is a comedian and a writer here in Los Angeles. His name's Joe Wankert. He's never appeared on this show. This guy owns a pig? Of course he does. One of my clients. I never knew that about it. Hey, I know Joe, actually. He wrote for the Comedy Bang Bang Television show. Oh, is that right?

That's right. Yes, that's right. And he never brought the pig to the the office. Never brought the, yeah, this is all news to me. He was in financial dire straits at that point. It was after he worked for you that I got him. Oh, I see. Because he did my show, he was in financial dire straits. He was making money and handing it all over to the government. Oh, God, I got it. My perfectly sound advice that I gave to him. Sure. But what about Joe? He's got a show coming out on a prime video on April 20th called Kevin. And it's about, it's semi-autobiographical. It's about his relationship with his pet, not his pig. This guy is another pet.

He co-created the show with Aubrey Plaza. They used to date. They adopted a cat named Kevin, and then they broke up, and then what do you do with the cat? And in this show, this couple breaks up, and Kevin the cat says, fuck you guys, I'm going to go live on my own, and he moves into a pet rescue where he lives with other independent cats. And it features tons of former comedy bang bang guests. And what about the host? Is he on this?

or he could be He could be for season two He's on Invincible this season Got a lot of great reviews Is that right? Yeah But Gill O'eri is in the main cast

I don't know what Invincible is. Oh, it's a great show. Yeah, Robert Kirkman, former guest, created the comic book and the show. Where's it at? That's also on Amazon. Also on Amazon.

Just watch Invincible. Is it superhero related? It is. I'm out. Okay. You don't like superheroes. I like Spider-Man and Batman. Okay. And Dracula. Those are the only superheroes I like. I don't know that, well, he has a cape.

I love my wife. I love my pig. And I let them, I love my, I love my pig. I love my pig. I let them do their own thing. Okay. All right. We'll see you next time.

Thanks. Bye.
