Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Back bang, Comedy bang, bang, comedy bang, bang, comedy bang, comedy, bang. Welcome to Comedy bang, bang, your secrets are safe with us. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang Bang. Hmm. Seems a little repetitive. Thanks so much to Pygosaurus for that catchphrase submission. Pigosaurus.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I'm assuming a combination of a pig and a stegosaurus, perhaps. Or a dinosaurus? No, I think it's just dinosaur. But thank you so much to Pigsaurus for that catchphrase submission. Yeah, again, repetitive. And honestly, it's a little too close to our new tagline. Comedy Bang Bang, We care.
Starting point is 00:01:03 You know, I think adding, not only do we care, but your secrets being safe with us, I don't think that that's, that's too much on my shoulders. I can't really take that responsibility, but welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. It's a Monday,
Starting point is 00:01:17 moms and proms, etc. My name is Scott Ackerman, and welcome to another episode. Coming up a little later on this show, we have an influencer. Whoa, okay. Now we're talking. We've been having a good string of guests here on the show.
Starting point is 00:01:34 We've had movie stars. We've had TV stars. We've had a podcaster here and there. But an influencer, this is a new territory for us. I'm really excited about that. We also have someone in marketing, someone who is the head of marketing for Little Caesars. That's exciting.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Pizza pizza, I believe, is their creation, probably, if I'm not mistaken. But that's going to be a big show. I think this is, I mean, we're coming right off the heels of our 16th anniversary episode. The levels sound great. This is a good lineup. What's this now? I'm sorry, the levels sound great. Whenever you're ready, we can just get going.
Starting point is 00:02:15 The levels sound good? The levels of what? For the audio recording. I'm sorry, I was hit on the head this week. And I have ammedia. Who are you, sir? God bless. Now your head shape makes way more sense.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I just thought that was, I thought you had one of those soft spots. I thought it hammered it to make it even. Oh, you purposely hit your head? Yeah, I'm just trying to talk about levels. I'm trying to level it. Okay, well, I think the thumb look is in this year. Who are you, sir? Me, I'm Gino Lombardo, your intern of, I think, 12 years.
Starting point is 00:02:44 12, 14, somewhere in there. Over a decade, that's for sure. How do I know that? Yeah, I know that's what's crazy. Well, you're a sicko for the numbers as well. Hold on. I got to hit myself in head one more time. What do you say?
Starting point is 00:02:54 Here we go. Oh! Holy shit. He just smashed his head in between his two. Emmys. Oh, God. Wow. Oh, Gino.
Starting point is 00:03:04 It's me. Gino. Thank you. Scotty Oaks. The ox court himself. How are you, buddy? Oh, dude, I'm doing fucking...
Starting point is 00:03:12 Have you graduated yet? From National Community College. Yeah. I'm also, I'm a student of life in a way there. Yeah. Plus the pussy's good. And the asshole. In life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Well, the pussy in life is good. But at NC squared, these young Long Island kids, they fucking throw it back. Yeah. They're throwing it out there. You're an older gentleman. now you're uh yeah yeah i mean my god only knows you know the math is you know i don't want to do simpson's age i'm not stuck at 23 of course i'm i'm gotta be like is homer supposed to be 23 no or is that bart i meant more like bart's still in fourth grade he's still dealing with crab apple you meant
Starting point is 00:03:45 year uh two thousand 23 yeah the year 20 23 thank god that was a great fucking remember when everything opened back up again oh it was so awesome everything was safe politics were solved everything was good the Middle East was cleaned up. We're ready to fucking rip. The world was sanitary and spick and span. Yes, I don't say that anymore. My question for you... Perhaps you're right.
Starting point is 00:04:07 What is... So the levels are good. So the levels are good. Let's take that intro again. Now I'll record this one. Oh, okay. What did I do? I...
Starting point is 00:04:14 Oh, God, I thought it was all just Ipsom-Lorum shit because it was boring as fuck. It was boring. Okay. Yeah, you're saying it's repetitive. You were being repetitive. About being repetitive? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:23 That sounds about right. Yeah. You like the meta-textual. We all know that. Sure. And I'm not talking. about DM and fucking Zuckerberg because I have a cease. Yes,
Starting point is 00:04:31 Zuck, I'm done, okay? I shut down my IG, my Finster. I was sliding into his DM's constantly. He didn't just shut you down from messaging him. He wanted you to check out. He said, you know, you shouldn't even have an account. Really? Because I guess I was like trying to sell like weird offline supplements and stuff like that. Oh, offline supplements.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Well, off, like they were online, but they were off brand. Oh, yeah. I mean, me and a few meatheads from the Golds Gym on Newbridge Road in Belmore, which I guess is now extreme fitness, but it'll always be gold's gym to me. Me and a few fucking freak meatheads, we got together and we started working on some supplements. And I think you're going to really like them.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Working on some supplements. We're designing supplements, mixing powders. Did you know that the FDA does not cover supplements at all so you can kind of do whatever the fuck you want, make whatever claims you want and sell it for how? Are you just taking other supplements and mixing them together? Is that what it is? Oh, all kinds of shit.
Starting point is 00:05:21 What are supplements? Supplements are non-vitamins and minerals. They're just things that like your body already maybe, makes and you add a little bit more. So for example, we have Gizact, J-A-A-Postrifice, Z-A-C-T. Yeah, yeah. I've seen that, I've seen that around. Yeah, it's already in stores and Giz Act is great. It's got it's protein, it's creatine, it's Cialis, and it's
Starting point is 00:05:43 Seminex. So it gives you long boners, big loads, and then it helps repair muscle fibers, and with the creatine, it kind of can pump up the muscles using ATP. Okay, yeah, that seems like it would take care of all of my problems. Yeah, I know, because I know you have all in one. Like, I remember you, you a text to me, you have anything for low T and low loads? Of course. You got saying, it's tough when you have both of those.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Because, you know, the ladies, they're always bitching about their guys' load size. Sure. Of course. Size matters when it comes to loads. Hey, that's what they say. It's the motion in the ocean. Yeah, right. It's the ocean itself.
Starting point is 00:06:20 How much cubic volume are you bringing to the table? Of course, do you know? How many ounces? Of course. Do you know the Seminix ads I'm talking? about that are in the pop-up I believe I've seen these I don't I'm not giving away my search history but I've seen these my search history is alya Shawcat and I can't think of any other cast members of the John Rogers that's not as me of what John Roberts are you talking are you
Starting point is 00:06:46 TV show search history oh oh John early of John early yes he's one of the um he's so you have a met a textual search history I've oh yeah please and and Zuck leave me alone I know you don't listen to this because you're too busy in Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighting back, are your bullies of your history. He's like, oh, Andrew Garfield, I got you in a triangle joke. Come on, Winklevaz twins. You try to fucking French cuff me. He's trying to put a Chinese finger cuff me.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So you think he wants to fight the actors who portrayed his nemesis. Oh, yeah, I guess. I mean, if he beats up Army Hammer and Andrew Garfield, you know, that's going to be bad. If those two end up dead, or I guess three. Yeah, if we, if Armyhammer dies twice and Andrew Garfield. Field dies once. Tick, boom, I'm sad. If I were Army Hammer, here's what I would have done.
Starting point is 00:07:32 When all that thing came out. Sat in a little shelf in the fridge forever? No, I would have said, hey, that's my twin brother. The guy, the cannibal one? That's my twin brother. That wasn't me. That's the other one. That's the other guy.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You saw that movie, right? He's got blue-green eyes. I got green-blue eyes. Yeah, exactly. Nice try. I'm a twin. No, I think we should just trust the guy who was raised in Bermuda. Jamaica.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Ooh, I want to take you. I'm losing it here. I'm talking about my erection. I need another. I need to fuel up with some jizz act. Yeah, pops more of that jizzax. Oh, the jizz act is a powder. It's a powder.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I mix it in. But these pills, these are fucking, these are good fucking pills. Okay, what are these pills? They shut off, they shut off your perspiration. Oh, why would I want to do that? It seems like I want to get it out. Yeah, a lot of people want to sweat, but a lot of people don't want pit stains in certain situations.
Starting point is 00:08:18 But I don't, if you take it for more than a day and a half, you can just die from not getting rid any toxins. Yeah, it seems to me like, you want 34 hours is the maximum amount of you could be on this. Is it just perspiration or does it? It blocks all fluid. All fluid coming out. It's called retention X.
Starting point is 00:08:33 No, we need to get some of this stuff out of our body sometimes. Oh, yeah, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we're wrong. Retention X. Retention X? Everything's kind of X to me. You know, I was inspired by the video game Generation X, the Aerosmith shooter from the arcades. Wait, someone shot Aerosmith?
Starting point is 00:08:49 No, you are. You're Aerosmith shooting people? And you fire a machine gun, but then you also have discs, CDs that you can fire. Why would you shoot the discs? Why wouldn't you just shoot the machine guns? Because the, you know, classic video game thing, one is just like your traditional bullet, and then the disc is kind of like your explosives. But now you're supposed to be Stephen Tyler or Joe Perry in this game?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yes, you are Joe Perry. I don't think you're Stephen Tyler, because there's no visible scarves floating around in front you. Getting in the way of your sights. You get me shooting haphazardly as your fucking scarves are in your eyes. Jesus Christ. Sing woman, sing for the year. That's a great impression. I thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I have heard many a Stephen Tyler impression, and that one is one of the best. I know. I was in the Mask singer for five years and no one even knew. Really? I was in the mask. You were in the mask? Yeah. Well, were you? Oh, I recognize you now. You were Shares kid with the big head? I was his back. I did a lot of backting in the 90s and early 2000s. I was in the Austin Powers franchise, of course, as we know.
Starting point is 00:09:49 We all know that. You wrote Shocktail, which is something I bring up every time. I did it back with my back to Will Smith the entire time. Holy shit. That's the smart. move. I had to guess what he's. You make eye contact with that guy. He's maybe going to slap. He was swinging wildly the entire time. I was, I was surprised the first time he got caught slapping was at the Oscars. I know. Because he would just slap. My man's been slapping for generation. Oh, yeah. It would slap all of us whenever he walked into the recording booth. Man, parents and writers just don't understand. That's a good point. Gino, what is going on? Because you, I haven't seen you now for three months or so. Is that right? Yeah, it's around then. I don't, I can't keep track. Time is a flat circle, like Russ Cole says.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And for me, I've been actually some good news. I'm adding the star to the long, Gina Lombardo's star is being added to the Long Island Walk of Fame. Okay, the Long Island Walk of Fame. Let me guess who's on this. You have Billy Joel. Correct. And he's the majority of it.
Starting point is 00:10:45 He's the biggest star. No, they have Billy Joel, and then they started just, you know, like Alexa Joel got one, Christy Brinkley got one. Do they make the star the size of the actual star the person is? Yeah, my star is super. thin and it's kind of hard to tell and it's kind of in it's right next to eddie money's i meant like how big of a star you were oh okay yeah well it's still mine small next to eddie monies you know uh eddie money edy murphy jerry sinfeld eric b and rakeem these guys are all on the
Starting point is 00:11:12 walk of fame woodcliffe canal go down the article mile um i would you know keep your eye on your wallet and your purse when you go down there but the stars are fucking beautiful and you're getting one this is incredible is this due to your appearances on this show or uh yeah it's this show And then my own personal show that I did, the Gino Lombardo show. You can buy the tapes at gino.gabris.com. And, yeah, so I'm very excited. The ceremony is going to be kind of a... Lindsay Lohan and Mary Jo Butterfuku are going to be giving me my...
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm going to cut the ribbon as they hold it. So they're holding... They each hold the... Two ends. Two scissors each. They have two scissors. I have a ribbon. And I place the ribbon in between there, too.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And it cuts it into three pieces. Okay, this seems very convoluting. but I mean, it's the Long Island way. Yeah, it's a Long Island way. I get one piece of the ribbon and then the other two pieces of ribbons go to the two counties on Long Island. Oh, of course. We all know those two counties on Long Island. Yeah, everyone knows the two counties on Long Island.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Everyone knows all their differences. And if I did hyper-specific material about how motherfuckers in Suffolk be and how motherfuckers in Nassau be. Sorry, I've been watching a lot of deaf comedy jam, so I'm ready to go. Is that where Copland was set? No, Copland was set in New Jersey. You're actually technically allowed to live on Long Island as an NYP? PD cop because it is in New York still. I see.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Okay. You need an exemption. You got very serious for that, by the way. I am very serious about the differences between New Jersey and Long Island, okay? I think you were more serious about the movie coplay. I mean, are you fucking kidding? Mangold, fucking slide. You deaf bastard!
Starting point is 00:12:46 It's got Leota. It's got Keitel. It's got Garof. It's got Garof. It's got fucking, what's his name? Superboy Michael Rapaport, who is not used up any of his goodwill. They call him Superboy? He's Superboy in the movie.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Oh, in the movie? Okay, I thought you meant... In real life? No, I don't think people are calling him at all anymore. Except for that Howard Stern and the Knicks. Just saw him on an episode of E-HR. Oh, yeah. He died very slowly from a chemical burn.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Whoa, E-R is back or re-watching the pet and got confused? It's not back. I was re-watching it, yes. I'm on a quest. And you're a big Michael Crichton fan because you're both tall freaks. Yeah, all I care about are Crichtons. You have the full closet of it. You have the Crichton closet. A lot of people...
Starting point is 00:13:26 You have the Criton Clotton Closet. I go to the Crichton closet. It's got Sphere. It's got Congo. It's got Jurassic Park. Disclosure. Disclosure. Great movie.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Can we talk about the representation of virtual reality and disclosure? Oh, so good. When they go inside the file cabinet that's just green fucking lines. And finally, when they finally do a movie about sexual harassment, we're turning it on its head. I know we've never seen any depiction of it beforehand. We've seen it, but we never spoke to it in a movie. Right. But now, finally. It's the woman harassing the man.
Starting point is 00:13:59 That's the first one they make is when it's like, well, actually, this shit happens, it's the boys, too. So many movies from our childhood were about like, well, I know I'm a bad dad and husband, but it's because my job is important. It's like, this is definitely a screenwriter, straight up right in the subjects of their life. Like, honey, where are you? Get back here. I'm writing, honey. Dome from a development executive. Who are we kidding?
Starting point is 00:14:22 Writers don't have girlfriends. Nives. Writers can't get pussy, not like I can. podcasting interns, I'm fucking dripping in it. And now with the star? I'm running through shit. Cock, pussy, ass. You're getting it all.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I love it all. You know me, pan. Yeah, that's right. That's my little pan. You're standing with your fists on your hips like Peter Pan right now. Yes, I'm standing like Peter Pan. I have goat legs on the way down like Pan. Sure.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Of course. It's a lot of cross panning. Yeah, and that's confusing because I'm going back and forth with my eyes. That's right. I'm technically cross panning myself. Yeah. Well, Gino, it's, it's, I mean, it's always a one of It's so fucking great to be here. You're from the East Coast. I represent the West Coast.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I'm from the South Shore. You're from the Southern Cal. You know, our styles, they may be different, but they mesh together so well. And in all honesty, we could probably do a couple of hours on the similarities between Orange County and Long Island. I think that especially with Huntington Beach the way it is. It's like an hour away from a very progressive city and maybe 50 years behind it somehow. Don't get me started on Downey either. Oh, Downy. That's where if he's from. I ate lunch there the other day. Oh, yeah. It was a halfway point between me and a loved one. Oh, that's, yeah, is that where your mom dropped you off so your dad could pick you up and down? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Well, Gino, it's great to have you here on the show. I'm looking forward to talking to our guests. I had no idea you were going to be here. Yeah, me neither, as a matter of fact. I kind of just woke up and I was, I don't know, some guy at the airport. You woke up like this? Yeah, I woke up like this. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Yeah. Okay, you look great. Oh, thank you. I feel great. I got a great amount of sleep. I don't know, like maybe 28 hours ago. I breathed in some guy's napkin at the airport and then I fucking woke up here.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It was fucking sick. It sounds to me like you got chloroformed. Oh, yeah. I thought he went to smell my handkerchief. I was like, of course, stranger. So you have no idea where you've been for 28 hours? I have no idea. I don't know if this is true,
Starting point is 00:16:14 but according to find my iPhone, I was sent to El Salvador briefly. Briefly. These guys, they're treating them like fucking dogs. Half the guys there were just gay barbers. I don't know how they, ended up there. We all have similar tattoos. Right. And so everyone thinks it's like a gang tattoo. You have scissors. I have scissors. Barbisol. Barbisol. I have the barbicide. The barberside. The blue
Starting point is 00:16:37 juice that you can drink and it does not taste like cool water. I think that's what I meant to say. What is Barbasol? The shaving cream that has dinosaur eggs in it. Yeah, still works. For debtor for what do I enjoy to say? Barbers. I was a dentist. Dennis barbers. Back in the day, you would go to one for everything. That's the thing. Can you imagine like, why not not make it one-stop shopping. Make all your dentists actually have to give you a shave and everything. Like they're already, you're already lying down there. You just focus on the neck up.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You just, neck up checkup, we call. Please, come on. Can I go get a neckup checkup? Let me get that checkup from the neckup, son. You have to say it exactly like that. You don't have to, but it helps because it gives you a little air of authority. Let our real doctors take care of everything from the neck down. Yeah, doctors can do my pecker, my chest, my lower back, but I want a fucking barber or dentist or
Starting point is 00:17:27 Robin Leach or a bentist? A bentist? Yes. Are they like, those are those flexible chicks that like put their legs behind their head and go Belgian oyster on you? I don't know what you're talking about. That one I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Well, I wouldn't Google it unless you want to be on a watch list. Well, Gino, it's great to have you. We are coming up. Is it? It is. Okay, great. Well, then let's start recording and then we can have this episode. You haven't been recording?
Starting point is 00:17:52 No, I just, the levels. I've been keeping an eye on the levels and they seem great. You weren't good or the levels if you have been recording. Do you have a backup? Oh, yeah, I got a backup. Oh, okay. Check up from the backup, baby. Back up from the snack up.
Starting point is 00:18:03 That's what I say when I eat ass. Okay, all right. Well, look, the show's not usually like this. Time for a little back snack, if you will. Okay. You turn around, he's on his back. Yeah, I don't want to tangle with you. Stroke 9 little backpack, back.
Starting point is 00:18:17 We have our new t-shirts out there, by the way. We have a neck, what was it? Neck back. Check up from the neck up? No. Neck back pussy crack. Let me get this exactly right because I... I think I did.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Ass up, neck back. That's the way I like to snack. These are our new... And it's a picture of a seagull with eating a sandwich. Okay. Okay, I saw that and didn't understand it. Okay, yeah. Anyway, these are in the store now. Oh, hell yeah. What's the link to the store? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:18:45 You got to throw the plug out, right? It's in the show notes, we could say. It's got to be in the show notes, although I doubt it. Yeah, go premium, go Maximus, go CBB World. Everything we need. Yeah. We need to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have an influencer is going to be here. We also have the head of marketing for Little Caesars.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Ooh, okay. Are you a Little Caesars fan, Gino? I know you're perilously thin. Yeah. If I mention I'm a Little Caesars fan on Long Island, I'll be stabbed by 13 guys named Brutus. Oh, no. Okay. You've got to be careful.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah. Because you've got to like local pizzas. You've got to go to Bromolo's or Ginos, my namesake. Bromolo's or Ginos. Yeah, or Pizzles. Oh, I want Adinos. Yeah. The thing about Little Caesars, though, is you get two pizzas.
Starting point is 00:19:25 so you could eat both of those and gain a little weight because I'm worried about you, Gina. Oh, well, you know, don't stress about me, okay? I'm too blessed to be stressed, Jando. You know that about me. I know. You ate like 12 communion crackers the whole time we've been sent you. That's right. Yeah. You're fucking jamming them down and you say, whisper body of Christ yourself every time. But I don't think you mean the transubstantiation of the host. I think you mean if you eat enough of these, you'll have the body of Christ. That's what I'm looking for. Your goal weight. All right. At this point, we do have to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have an influencer. We're going to have the head of
Starting point is 00:19:55 marketing for Little Caesars, plus more Gino. What an incredible show this is. I'll be a little quieter as the other guys come in. In the beginning, but then I'll start to fill. You'll just rise up back to your normal level. I can't stop. When we come back, we'll have more of all of this. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Welcome back to Comedy Bang Bang Bang. Scott Ogrivin here. We also have Gino Lombardo from Long Island, my intern of 12 you, You think it's 12? It's got to be it. It can't be more than 13. That I know for sure. So it's in there.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And when it does become 13, let's just say it's 14. Yeah, let's skip it. Just like a building, like an elevator. Are you superstitious at all, Gina? Oh, I'm very super. I'm like Stevie Wonder. I'm very superstitious. Yeah, it's hard on Stevie Wonder.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I know. He, of course, was born without sight, you know. What? You didn't know this about Stevie Wonder? I thought he loved sunglasses. I mean, he's a connoisseur, certainly. You know, a lot of people say Stevie Wonder, Ken C. I know. Yeah, in the Between Two Ferns movie, there might have been a scene in there where we were considering throwing stuff out of him to see if he could catch it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Never came to pass. We need to get to our next guest. He is an influencer. That sounds very exciting. I want to talk all about their life. Please welcome to the show Big Righteous. Wow, thanks, Scott. I'm so happy to be here.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I gave comedy bang bang, bang five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Whoa, that's a lot of big bang. I don't know what scale we're on, but that's a lot of big bang or dang scale, of course. Oh, how many bangs are possible to get? Five. You can only get five bangs. So he's got the best score you can have?
Starting point is 00:21:43 You got the best score you can have as far as bangs are concerned. This is awesome. This is a great day. And you already have two bangs in the title. That's right. We're seven bangs deep. A secret seventh bang. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:54 This is Gino Lombardo. This is my intern. How's it going, Big Righteous? I can't tell if you're a grown-up or a kid. Don't worry about it. Okay. I love your radio show. I gave it four big bangs.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Bang. I'll take it. Four is good, man. That's 80%. Yeah, anything above three and a half, I think, is good. Right. You don't want to get half a bang.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I don't know how to say it. I guess bad? I guess bad. You're right. That's a little easier than the other two letters. You're right. You know what? Yes, you're right.
Starting point is 00:22:23 So Big Righteous, tell us about being an influencer. What do you influence? Whom do you influence? Where do you influence? Why do you influence? You know, the reporter's questions. Yes, of course. So I do this with my dad when it's my dad's weekend.
Starting point is 00:22:38 And we're sort of known as the Kissies boys. And we go to those grocery store Kissies. Oh, I've heard of this place. Yeah, they kiss everything in the store. They give it a little kiss. It's one of the owner's personal touches. Yeah, we've had Albert Rowe, the owner on. You've met Albert Rowe.
Starting point is 00:22:51 He's my hero. You're hero. It's right. I give him five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Maybe one more? Bang. That, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I'm going to start keeping track. Okay, yeah. Did you know that'll be your responsibility? I'll start keeping track. Okay. That's probably better. So, what did you say about the Kissy's boys? Me and my dad are Kissy's boys and we went viral on the internet.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Do you have that, Scott? I do have the internet. Yeah, we're logged in right now. in fact. You're logged in? Yeah, we're jacked in. Jacked? Yeah, Johnny mnemonic style. Hold on, let me jack in. Oh, I'm married to Cheryl Hines. So you, let me, let me, let me figure this out. You're, you have a father. I have a father. Big Bang, BJ. Big Bang BJ is your father. That's his name, Big Bang BJ. Is that his Christian name?
Starting point is 00:23:45 No, that's our name on viral videos. I see. So Big Bang BJ. That's right. He fathered you. He sired you. Yes. And then at what point do you become a tandem duo act? Well, when it was on, when it's my dad's weekends, we used to go to the store and to make things fun like an activity instead of just, you know, an errand, we started giving things ratings in the store. Okay, so which store is this? The Kissy store. You fucking, hey, hey, hey. Holy shit, I think he might be a grona. Sorry. No, no, no, I'm not allowed to swear, but at my dad's house, I can. Oh, I miss my dad. Oh, I'm so sorry. My parents got a divorce, Scott, so that's why I'm a little upset.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Oh, that's a real bummer, but you should just know that that happens to a lot of people. Who? Everyone. A lot of people. Divorce. Name anyone. Have you ever seen the splash page of Porn Hub?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Everything is steps siblings now. They know. They have mermaid-themed stuff on splash pages? Oh, yeah. It's Darrell Hanna, porn. I know exactly what you're talking about. I give it, I gave it two bangs. So you, I'm sorry your parents are getting a divorce.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Okay, I give it five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang. That was five. With how sad it made you, or? I'm sad because it's the dissolving of a family, but they're happier separate. Oh, well, I mean, a lot of people would say that. I mean, divorce is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it makes a... They were both like that Nicole Kidman picture.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Eyes wide shut? You know, when she's leaving the courthouse after her divorce? Oh, you mean a photo. You're not using the term picture like an old-timey Hollywood executive. Yeah, you're not like variety slang, right? Hell of a picture. Like the Nicole Kidman topliner? That made Bofo B.O.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I call him vehicles. Okay, great. There's a certain picture of her leaving a courthouse after a divorce. Why have I never seen this? I think it's falsely attributed to her leaving a courthouse. But it's been used for that. She looks like she's having a great day. She's like cheering.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I'm looking at Nicole Kidman leaving divorce. And yeah, I'm seeing, I mean, what could be an old. older picture of Nicole Kidman. And she, like, arms up cheering and she's got, like, weird green capris on, like she's an elementary school teacher. This doesn't be possible that it's her, but, I mean, it very well could be. After signing the divorce papers from Tom Cruise. TC himself, I give Tom Cruise five big bangs.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I love all his films and his vehicles. Dude's got a couple of motorcycles. That's true, yeah. And a couple of cars and probably a chopper or a plane. I don't like how he treats them. I give them four big dangs. Dang, dang, dang, dang.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Do you think he's ever driven a Toyota? Tom? Yeah. Tom and a Toyota? Toyota, Tom? T.C. and a T.C.? Toyota, Carolla? Oh, I was going to have to be Camry.
Starting point is 00:26:33 No way, Camry, but Carolla, possibly. Corolla, absolutely. The Ace Man. Adam Carolla definitely drove a Toyota Camel. You think when he gets out, he just points at the car, goes, it's fine. That's a pretty good impression, too. Have you ever heard anyone do, what's his name, Stephen Tyler? I don't think I have.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Let me, can you hit us with that one more time? Eat the rich. It's the only one thing they're really good for. Okay, Scott, wait. I think you accidentally press play on an MP3. Did you just play Get a Grip? Everyone's favorite Aerosmith album? So, I see.
Starting point is 00:27:09 So your parents are getting a divorce. I see. Are you hip to my whole deal, man? I see T.C. So your parents are getting a divorce, but your father and you decided to go into Kissy's store. and start rating all of the items. But you're not doing the kissing.
Starting point is 00:27:25 No, no, no, no, no. You're actually not allowed to do the kissing of any of the items in the store. That's one of the rules of the store. You've gotten very serious here. No, because I followed the rules of the store. We have a really good relationship with the flagship store. Kissies in Downey, California, and we do not want to mess up our relationship with that store. Scott, is that where you had lunch with the loved one?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah, I went to Kissies, I believe. I don't think I've ever asked Albert Roe whether you, he kisses the items as they leave the store or as he puts them on the shelf? He says you ask him that every time. Well, maybe I don't remember the answer. Have you ever thought about that? Well, maybe it's because the answer, not that memorable. I believe he kisses them, he kisses them and then puts them on the shelf one at a time.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I see. Now, if you purchase a good from kissies and you get it out into your car and it's yours, can you kiss it then? That's your business and God's business. So for those of you who have not heard an episode with Albert Roe, it's a very unique particular store. Albert Roe also happens to be Jeff Bezos's son. Yeah, he's Jeff Bezos's son, but that's like, it's kind of like not his really his main thing. Although he did go to the bottom of the ocean before all those guys started to do that. That's right.
Starting point is 00:28:40 But it seemed unexpected when it came up. It was pretty shocking when it became the news. But in any case, we're not talking to Elis. No, no, no, no, no, I go into the store. We're talking about Big Righteous. I'm going, put some respect on my name. Yeah, that's right. What was your dad's name again? Big Bang, BJ? Big Bang, BJ, you got it. Does he influence without you, or are you exclusively a team? Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:29:02 He tries to do it by himself, but he's tried a bunch of different things before I came into the picture. He tried to be a professional wrestler. He tried to sell like a muscle milk or something. And then luckily enough, he had a wonderful kid who's as Carrie. as you are, and then he was able to hoist his dreams on you. That's right. And it doesn't matter whether I like doing it or not. Do you not like doing it? Because I'm not a big fan of children monetizing their childhoods, you know. Well, you should be allowed to just be a kid enjoying things and rating things for fun, not putting it out on the internet.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I rate my own stuff for fun. It's not all of it makes it to the videos. Yeah. Like, what are you rating these days? Well, you know, I rated comedy bang bang. That's no. I would not. That's making it to air, though, on this show. I'm monetizing your childhood. Yeah, but that's for here. I wouldn't do that on, I wouldn't do that. on my channel. Why? Is the show not big enough?
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah, the show's not big enough. It's not as big as the loaf of whole wheat bread that you guys rated from kids. That's right. Because that video got 3.6 billion views. It was, it's now the most watched Instagram reel. Of all time.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Of all time. And that's just reels. Whoa. They might bring back Vine. It beat out Charlie bit me. Charlie. Who's Charlie bit me? The little boy that he bit the, he bit the finger?
Starting point is 00:30:16 I don't know what it's. You don't know Charlie bit my finger? I don't tend to watch internet videos. Oh, okay. And no disrespect, but I feel like there are a waste of time. I got to say, you say no disrespect. You say it right to my face. No disrespect, but I don't respect you.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I don't feel respected. I feel disrespecting me back. You shouldn't because I don't actually respect it. It's a generational thing. You understand. You do viral videos. He does like a medium that people listen to while doing other things. But you have to think about it at all this in this exact same way.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Whether it's a viral video, a podcast, a feature film, it's all under the umbrella of content and that's a good point but that I can't bent kid I was on this kid's side for a while I perform content that you can do your laundry while you do I don't believe I could do my laundry while watching your videos oh you can I don't know I would I would put
Starting point is 00:31:01 soap in the wrong hole or whatever you're right you got to be careful with that your eyes lit up right wrong hole yeah well because this is the first time you've said it in a safer context rather than when we're just wrestling in your pool But no disrespect.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I don't really enjoy anything that you do or really... That's okay. Or think that your life is worthwhile. But tell me about it. Be righteous, don't feel bad. He says the same thing about me and I work for him. Hey, you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:29 That makes me feel a lot better, Gino. You know, this so far, I got to say, I think I got to take a bang away. What? You can undo bangs? If I give a dang, it counts as a negative bang. So four bangs, one bang? I might give one dang.
Starting point is 00:31:44 The way this is going, I might give one dang. Do you give that as a full review? Because it's a four bangs with no other words said is a four banger. But if you say four bangs than one dang, what are you saying there? I might have to issue a sort of a notes app apology and redact. Another one? Another one. Yeah, you saw my first one.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah, I saw your first one. You are your DJ Callet? Look, I, this sounds like a conflict of interest. What did he apologize for? Not eating pussy? No, he just had another one. Another one. but I mean this sounds like great great
Starting point is 00:32:17 a great a bit of income for you Oh yeah we're making We're making a lot of money doing this And it makes me say that you said we What's that? Are you seeing a lot of the money? Yeah is your dad sharing the money with you? Oh well
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah Because you're head to toe in your own merch And I don't know if like I know And I'm worried that he's not buying you clothes He's not buying you food No no no I mean he bought me He bought me this
Starting point is 00:32:40 He bought me these clothes Merch from your store Yeah, no He's not buying you clothes That's that's paying you know I'm sure you get some of those for free Those look like the irregular sizes too Yeah there's one long sleeve one shorts
Starting point is 00:32:54 Both the armholes are on one side Yeah that's that really uncomfortable shirt to wear But you've made it work I saw you ride your bike up to the studio It was very confusing Yeah they thought this was like a new shirt That they were trying out an F shirt Instead of a T-shirt
Starting point is 00:33:09 Got it Yeah Got it And loved it Bang Bang bang bang See you can give him out too Anyone can give out big
Starting point is 00:33:23 Then why should we watch your videos If anyone can Because you don't know if it's guaranteed Unless I do it Your voice got very low right now I thought you're trying to steal my action dog Can Jim Parsons give them out Jim Parsons is allowed to give him up
Starting point is 00:33:38 But he's also He's got to say Bazinga Okay He was grandfathered into this bangs, was he not? He was young Sheldon into it, actually. Well, Grandfather Sheldon is coming
Starting point is 00:33:48 this fall. This is a good idea, Grandfather Sheldon? That's actually not that bad. Bishinga, child, the closer child. I'm an old virgin. I'm what they used to call a nerd. And now I've been
Starting point is 00:34:04 conscripted into the Water Wars to fight on behalf of the Liberal Army. I think the concept of Waterworld gets three big bangs. Bang, bang, bang. It's not bad. The concept of it or the film? The concept of it. The idea of a water world.
Starting point is 00:34:18 The vehicle, not so good, but the idea, they could do it again. It's a hell of a picture. I think it's prime for a reboot. But in any case, I hope things work out for you. I hope so, too. I think everything's going to work out just fine. Dad said when he comes back from his vacation to Dubai that he was going to get me a triple-dipped ice cream cone from Kissies. And I give those five big bangs.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I guess this begs the question. Does he kiss the cones after they've been made? Or does Albert just kiss the that of ice cream? Ooh. You know, there was always a little bit of lip, a lip sort of indentation. Indentation of the swirl. It's all soft serve, of course.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I think he's kissing it after. He's kissing it and it's soft serve, so he's kissing it once it's on the cone. Yeah, once it's on the cone. I guess we have other things to do as a guy who runs a grocery store? He's inevitably wealthy. Yeah. I think I saw one of your dad's videos He's posting a lot from Dubai
Starting point is 00:35:17 He was doing a muscle car Like he was driving a supercar With like four women in hijabs That's him Yeah he's on he's on what he calls a A Furious 7 vacation Oh I love that Trying to jump from tower to tower
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah he wants to do it He said he's going to do it and I think he's going to do it I give his vacation One big bang You're lonely I'm sort of indifferent about the vacation if I'm being honest. Big righteous, I'm worried about you.
Starting point is 00:35:44 You seem lonely. Your father, it's kind of a deadby dad. It's your father's weekend and he's in Dubai. And so you're just off on your own, like emancipation style? Yeah, he said no kids allowed. And I couldn't stay at the Kissy store by myself. They closed the shop. At night, like a normal grocery store.
Starting point is 00:36:03 In some ways, it's normal. And that's the thing that normally is really focused on the stuff that's weird about it. But it's also just like a normal place. They have groceries. It meets. 99% of the criteria for a grocery store, does it not? Yeah, the 1% is the weird stuff. Ralph goes around and fingers all his goods.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I don't know what Vaughn does that fucking Dutch freak. You don't want to know. And the son of Albert? No son of mine. Albertsons, though. Why isn't Albert Roe? Maybe he should have a kid and call it Albertson. You know, that makes a lot more sense.
Starting point is 00:36:36 I feel like we want to build up his mythology more than yours. Is that a problem for you? No, it's not a problem for me at all because, like I said, he's my hero and I love him dearly. Oh man, I think you got to have him back on. We got to get him back on. I see what you're doing now. Honestly, Big Righteous, you're kind of like, I'll give you three bangs.
Starting point is 00:36:53 You give me three bangs? Yeah. I'll give you one slow, long bang. But Albert Roe. So far I'm at four. Albert Roe gets five total banks. You get five big, I can't disagree with you there. I think, I mean, if I can grow up and be half the man that he is, I'd be half a man.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I. Yeah. I mean, just as a guest on this show, he gets a total five bangs. The guy who keeps repeating, I'm just naming out random guests. The guy who keeps repeating his day over and over again, he gets like four bangs. Okay. The guy who wants to... That's interesting because you seem to like him more.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I do like him, but the guy who wants to be a mech, he's like a one-banger. One, that's one. That's actually, I would say that's like five dangs, if I'm being honest. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just naming random guests who have been on this show before, you know. There's certainly a couple others you can think of, right? Nope.
Starting point is 00:37:42 But big righteous Now I don't understand your name Big righteous I don't get it What's righteous about what you do Or like where does it come from You're not even big And you're smaller than your dad No yeah you're right
Starting point is 00:37:55 You both have big in your name It's kind of weird Well he's Big Bang BJ Right So my thing is I'm little But I'm also like I'm his big son Okay
Starting point is 00:38:05 So you're his little big son I'm his little big son And I sort of like What's Might as well be big little son. I don't know what that is. Is that smash mouth?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah. I get it walking on the sun. It fits the cadence. Yeah, just about. Kind of. In a way. It's not a, hey, this ain't fucking off book, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:26 We can let it rip here. We can fire from the hip a little. If you're looking for a good podcast to listen to, though, if you're in the middle of this one going, eh, big righteous, not for me. Head over to off books. Yeah, there's like, I'll take care of you. You could have chose anyone to have been the triggering reason to switch podcast,
Starting point is 00:38:39 but you chose big righteous. Yeah, yeah. Maybe go, go ahead and listen. to episode 301. Oh, that's embarrassing. Knowing that is embarrassing. Well, Big Righteous, you're kind of a dud. I'm kind of a dud. You're kind of a dud. I'm going to give you a dang. Dang.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I'll take your dang. I'm going to give you a dang right back. I'm going to give you two, in fact. Dang, dang. Let go of him. Let go of him, Scott. That's a kid. I thanked me. I danged you. I didn't spank you. I'm pretty sure he's a kid, but he has a mustache and visible pews. Why'd you wear these white shorts? I think the white very mesh shorts that you guys sell in your store. And they're low-rise. You sell white, low-rise, pre-wet shorts? I thought we liked wet here.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I thought this was like a whole wet thing. It's not wet day here. That was in April. I'm not allowed to talk about eating pussy, but we can talk about wet all day long. Well, look, Big Rites, we have to take a break. Can you stick around, though? I'll stick around. Because maybe you'll be additive for the third segment.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Who could say? At this point, who's good? I got two guesses. All right, when we come back, we're going to have the head of marketing for Little Caesars. You a Little Caesars fan, Big Righteous? Pizza, pizza, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. That could get up to 10 bangs, I think, for five per pizza.
Starting point is 00:39:57 All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more Gino, more Big Righteous, plus the head of marketing for Little Caesars. We'll be right back with more comedy bang, bang after this. Comedy bang bang, bang. Cut back to Scott talking here. Yeah, thanks, Gino. Yeah, cut back to me.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Comedy, bang, bang, welcome back. Gino Lombardo, of course. Bang. He's saying bang, it's addictive almost to say bang this much. It's fun to say. It is. I'm going to be driving around, pointing my finger at people screaming bang all day long. I'm not sure that's the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I wouldn't do that if I were you. We also have big righteous. I know, I'm a pretty Italian looking. But big righteous, lonely little boy who decided. to go on a podcast on his day off on his weekend where his dad was not in Dubai. I'm in this sort of nebulous space. It's my dad's weekend. He's not here.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I can't be at my mom's. It's not her weekend. This is sort of like Schrodinger's Big Righteous. Where am I supposed to be? Scott is technically A Dad. That's true. I'm at A Dad's House. Do you want to go to Kissies with me and rate some stuff?
Starting point is 00:41:03 I wouldn't mind. Going down to Downy again this week? There's so many things. With a different loved one? With a hated one arguably? I don't know if you hate me. I actively dislike A non-plussed one
Starting point is 00:41:14 I've been nothing but nice Oh really Didn't you give me a dang earlier I could take it back Wow you were really offended by that I was offended One dang You took away a bang and you gave me a dang
Starting point is 00:41:26 One dang in 16 years And look at you humiliating Yeah This is our 17th year by the way 17 pardon my French Holy shit Comey bang bang can drive
Starting point is 00:41:35 All right we need to get to our next guest Please do it It's all you Look, this is what I know about him He is the head of marketing for Little Caesars And he's here right now Please welcome to the show for the first time, Lotton Getty Hey, Scott, thanks for having me
Starting point is 00:41:50 Hey, my pleasure, Lotton, this is Gino Hi, Lotton, nice to meet you, I'm Gino This is Big Righteous Bang, bang, nice to meet you That was for me? That was just, yeah, I don't know yet All right Two off the top
Starting point is 00:42:03 Not great But I'm doing great, I'm glad to be here Hey, it's great to have you Business is booming. What can I say, Scott? You've been to one of our stores lately? A business at Little Caesars? Yeah. Wait, people go into them? Briefly.
Starting point is 00:42:19 We have an innovative design in the store that was one of my ideas, which is three seats max. Two face in the window, one, a wall, and it's exclusive dining in there. It's one of my favorite places to eat. Well, thank you. I go to Little Caesars for lunch, and then I eat in store at edible arrangements for dessert. Sure, if you're still hungry. We try to fill you up, though, but... Try to fill you up for the whole day, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It's doable, and it's on a budget, too. That's right, yeah. It's a cheap pizza, and you get a lot of it. You do, and when I say business is booming, anything that goes bad in this world, we are immune to it, okay? Yeah. We are recession-proof. Yeah, I mean, a lot of restaurants went under during COVID.
Starting point is 00:43:04 We went over. You went over. Yeah, over the top, into the green. We benefited a lot from it. So now how long have you been with a company, if you don't mind, Lotton? Oh, very long time. I'm actually some of the inspiration for how they got going. I'm from Detroit where they started.
Starting point is 00:43:19 They started in Detroit. Yeah. I didn't realize Little Sears was Detroit-style people. You don't think I could be from Detroit. I mean, I don't know what people... I were up with Eminem. You grew up with him. I can prove it.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Okay. Do you know it's not actually his real name? Oh. Marshall Mathers. Marshall Mathers. Oh, shit. This guy knows his stuff. Well, the real Marshall Mathers.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Please stand up. So I can't be making it up if I know that. Okay, so you grew up with Eminem. But I thought Little Caesars predated Eminem because, quite honestly, I don't believe I've had Little Caesars since perhaps the late 80s, if not the early 90s, before Marjorie M&M were a concern. He was still alive then. He was alive. That's a good point. Is he a concern?
Starting point is 00:44:01 I mean, you know, before he was topping the charts. Scott would hate to get dissed on a track. He was a concern to white parents in the 90s. Oh, yeah. What did he say? You know, how he would diss NSYNC members and Ricky Spears. Chris, Patrick, you can get your ass kicked? Yeah, it's brutal.
Starting point is 00:44:20 A lot of our sacred cows he was taking aim at. I'm too close to the matter, so I can't say I'm blind to his dizzes because I grew up with him. I like him. He's too close to the Mathers. Yeah. Did he ever talk about you on one of his records? No, because I made sure to stay on his good side. How does one do that with M&M?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Well, if you're nice to him, talk to him like a person, Scott, then he treats you in kind. I didn't know that. That's good to know. That's all you got to do. Not that for once. Why don't you try that for once? Why don't you try with Big Righteous? Act like he's a fucking, I mean, he's barely a person. Big Righteous. Big Righteous is total zero. What the? Look at him. Scott. I know you're a lonely little boy or lonely old man. I don't know where I certainly am lonely. I know you don't want to quantify it. Like Yoda. something. Yeah, but, but look, okay, so you've been working for Little Caesars for a while. They were, what inspired them? I mean, the fact that they have two pizzas? What's that's how they got the pizza pizzas, you know? It's as the idea is that you're getting two for the price of one.
Starting point is 00:45:22 That was, that was my idea. Okay. I started with them early on and I inspired one of their biggest things, as you know. In college, I was sort of a, I think I was kind of a popular guy. And I would go into parties and stuff. And I would, you know, introduce. myself, people would be like, oh yeah. So you would go to parties. You were so popular you had to introduce yourself. That's not how you go into a party? Well, I mean, normally... They meet a few people and then they know you for the next party. It didn't make sense to me.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yeah, you're trying to get to know people. I was a kind of a... Sounds like Scott's never been to a party before. Hey, fuck you. I don't say that that often on this show, but big righteous... You do enough. You fucking suck. What the heck? Dang. Dang. So you would go to these parties a lot.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Don't mind big righteous I haven't been I apologize On his behalf I apologize in fact I'm great Are you wearing a toga Toga to these parties
Starting point is 00:46:16 Or other people have togas on Now toga came later Now that little drawing is Inspired by me though That's supposed to be me Oh shit I see it now You got that huge nose And your face is facing away from me
Starting point is 00:46:26 It's a caricature But yeah Well I mean you don't have He has a huge nose The drawing It seems actually very accurate Like it doesn't seem like a caricature It seems like a life
Starting point is 00:46:35 Too-scale drawing. Well, you can see why it was popular in college. You're very tiny, I have to say. I'm little. It was just going to be Caesars before. And then, well, anyway, the party story, I go in and I introduce myself, as anyone does at a party. Yeah. And I was, I'm Lott and Getty, you would say. And people would be like, oh, look at this guy. Lot and Getty. He's hot and ready. And I would say this. Yeah, they would say that. And I assume complementarily. And I told this story when I got hired at Caesars, and they were like, that's it. Hot and ready.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Hot and ready. Yeah. And so Latengetti, he's hot and ready. Yeah, that's it. Became the tagline for... And I don't think they were making fun of me for the record. I think it was a compliment. What did they mean?
Starting point is 00:47:21 It's hard pressed to figure out how it's complimentary, but also, to be fair, how it's offensive also. So it just kind of feels... It feels more sexual than anything else. I took it as a sexual compliment. Yeah, you're hot and ready. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And I told that story in the offices when I first... started there and they all laughed, you know, I assume in my favor with me, not at me, and then they used it in their slogan and it just became, it caught on. It caught on, wow. And so, so this drawing of you, yeah, which seems mean-spirited. I'm sensing that now. I hadn't thought about that way. Although very accurate. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, I don't wear the to toga everywhere. I guess what I mean to say when I say is accurate and mean-spirited is if I were to be drawing you, I would maybe like, you know, soften out some of your rough edges a little bit.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Try to make you a little more handsome, you know, but this is eerily accurate. It sells pizzas. I handsome little drawing might not sell pizzas. This guy's fucking schnaz and weird hair and tiny little body. Almost no hair. Yeah. And a little crown of leaves, I guess. Oh, I always thought that was male pattern baldness.
Starting point is 00:48:24 That makes a lot more sense. I think it's going with the full. It's leaves. Yeah. Yeah. I guess what I'm trying to say is it seems like they're making fun of you. Like they're calling the business hot and ready. They're saying little Caesars, talking about your height.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Yeah. They're showing us how ugly you are by giving a very accurate representation of what you look like as the mascot. I thought it was a step up, the picture. So before you got hired, it was Caesars. And then they saw you, and they thought you were so little that they had to change the name of the business to Little Caesars. And then to make fun of you, you told a story about everyone making fun of you saying you were hot and ready at a party. and they named the, or I guess they attributed that to the pizzas that your place sells? This all is correct.
Starting point is 00:49:10 It's interesting sometimes you don't see a story from a perspective until it's pointed out to you that potentially this was some sort of denigrating me as a person. I'm seeing that now, but, you know, I've got a good job. It's not like I want to get rid of it. I want to stay at the company. What do you do? I mean, how much do they pay? is it's a pay.
Starting point is 00:49:32 They don't pay you? Well, in pizza. They pay you in pizzas? Yeah. Cheap-ass, disgusting pizzas. No offense, Little Caesars. And if you want to be a sponsor. If all you eat is Little Caesar's pizza, then I take back.
Starting point is 00:49:43 You actually are very good-looking, then. Because that's crazy. Because if you're living off Little Caesar's pizza, you look amazing. Thank you very much. And, yeah, you know, the ingredients, they're not great. We know that. We keep the price low because, and we're going to make it lower just to be kind of a big fuck you to everything.
Starting point is 00:49:59 You're going to go the other way. The prices are going, yeah. If everything's going up, we're going to go down and just show people. They're going to buy it regardless. You know, it's not like your pizzas as disgusting as dominoes where they had to put out commercials talking about how disgusting it was. They changed their recipe publicly. The sauce is worse. They admitted it.
Starting point is 00:50:17 We don't admit it. We just say you're going to eat it regardless. So we don't have to admit to anything. We're going to make the price lower. And maybe we'll even add another pizza to the. So you're going to lower the prices. So it will be pizza pizza pizza pizza? Yeah, maybe we'll change the punctuation.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Maybe pizza question mark. Pizza dot, dot, dot, pizza, exclamation point. Okay. Pizza? Pizza? Pizza? Pizza. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:43 It creeps up. It's questioning it, and then it creeps up, and then you explode it. Oh, I like this. I like this a lot. There's a big load for you. And finally, let me interest you in a seminex stuffed crust. That'd be great. But I do worry about you.
Starting point is 00:50:59 you, Lott and Getty? Something I like about Lott and Getty's theory here is, if you make the pizza so shitty and so cheap, you're almost daring people to complain about it. That's right, yeah. Because they complain about, you know what the fuck did you expect? You basically didn't even pay money for it, so what did you want for it? What do you want to refund? Here's a dollar back.
Starting point is 00:51:18 The pizza was ready when you walked in, babe. It was ready before you knew you wanted it. It's not cold and waiting. It's right now. This is what people would say at the party. It's Lott and Getty. Yeah, that would say that at the parties After I introduced myself
Starting point is 00:51:32 Yeah Lotton, can I ask you something? I guess Are you maybe thinking about I don't know Having a brand ambassador in your commercials Well, we have the little guy That's based on me
Starting point is 00:51:43 What else do we need? What about a different little guy? A different little big guy I could give the pizzas I don't know A rating Oh you Big Righteous has now
Starting point is 00:51:54 Fashioned his clothing Into a Toga style Yeah I wish I could get paid in pizzas I just get paid into clothes on my back. So many pubs. The F shirt is ready to tie around the shoulder, though. It's like three quarters of the way they had to a toga. I am worried about you.
Starting point is 00:52:09 I mean, you're not drawing a salary. It seems like they're making fun of you. Well, you know what? Again, I hadn't realized that until this exact moment. The salary thing I had an inkling of, you know, but I don't need much. I've got the toga on my back, a roof over my head. What's ironic, I guess, is that. I work for Little Caesars, but I live in an abandoned pizza hut.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Okay. This is not good. You should get. No, they're very roomy. I mean, yeah. Have you ever been in one? In an unabandoned one. Oh, the big red cups, the lamps?
Starting point is 00:52:46 They're still left in the place. I use them. Oh, those glass lamps? I give those five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I love 90s aesthetics. But look, you should be paid in money. money that you trade for rent for an apartment.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Of course, we don't think you're going to own, but, you know. Well, I've got a rent-free place right now. If anything goes bad, I'm going to reach out to Marshall and make sure that he'll cover me. Yeah, I mean, if you know Marshall and are such good friends with him, could you call him up or anything like that? I probably could, but again, I'm living large right now. Extra large.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Like Bigfoot. That was you guys, right? The Bigfoot pizza in the 90s? I don't remember. I remember having that at a sleepover party, and it changed my fucking life when it arrived. What are the characteristics of the Bigfoot pizza? It's enormous square beans. It's very blurry.
Starting point is 00:53:39 It's new. It's got its hog out, and you can only eat it in the Pacific Northwest. Now, I want to say, you're kind of on, was it Lotton Meester? What was your name again? Lotton Gettie. Lott and Getty. Easy because it rhymes with Hot and Ready. Right, that's how I should remember it.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Lott and Ready, you're on his case about... So even you know it rhymes with Hot and Ready. I just am, I'm realizing it now. today. Today's big. Thanks for coming on. I mean, I don't talk to a lot of people, so I'm saying a lot of things out loud and hearing them for the first time. How did you get booked on this show? I mean, well, I was delivering and I was the head of marketing delivers pieces. I'm realizing I might not be the head of marketing.
Starting point is 00:54:18 It doesn't seem like you are. It seems like to be fair, the only person who called you that so far has been Scott 25 times in the lead up. It sounded great. You don't think you're in like a dinner for schmuck situation, are you? You know that popular, popular movie, Dinner for Schmuck? Oh, yeah. I'm a corral head. You've seen it all, right? I've seen enough.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Four seasons? I get it, yeah. His deal? I get it. We're on Hot and Reddy's case over here a lot, but you're busting his balls about making money, but he is objectively the happiest person at this table. That's a good point. All of us are way more.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I mean, I'm not depressed, but my life is twisted. Me, I'm stuck in a dead-end job for the past 16 years. Yeah, 17. Me, I miss my dad. Oh. I mean, we could learn a lot in from you. I think so. This is the way to live, like, carefree.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Want-not. End of sentence. You should have a job writing aphorisms. You think? Want-not? End of sentence. I could. I mean, I've been the head of marketing, so I suppose I could just slide into that kind of work, too.
Starting point is 00:55:31 What did you want to do with your life, Lott? When you were growing up, I'm presuming a short little weirdo. Did you want to be in G-Unit? I mean, that was... Or D-12? The crew, I guess I was right now. D-12 is actually, yeah. I mean, you know, G-unit is still sort of...
Starting point is 00:55:48 A hip-hop collective. Well, no, adjacent to him because of 50 cents. Right. Yeah. Being a protege of M&Ms as well. I didn't do anything big. I didn't dream big. Thanks for jumping in and saving me on that, by the way.
Starting point is 00:56:00 She just waited for me to be right. You had the white guys explaining D12. You were hanging yourself with your own rope and I thought I'd step right in. I didn't need a lot growing up. You know, my dad, he was doing his own thing at the time and not unlike your situation. What did your dad do? He was my papa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:22 He was also in the business. The pizza business? Yeah, I don't... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. His name's not John, is it? It is, yeah. Why, you know him, personally? No, I just...
Starting point is 00:56:32 There's a different pizza chain called Papa John's. I don't know. It's Papa John's... What's it called if it's his pizza? Red Baron? I actually don't know. I think it's called Papa John's pizza.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Oh, it's named after him. Yeah, it's like got the apostrophe that, like, gives it the possessive. It's his pizza. Like Ruth's Chris? But less apostrophies than Ruth's Chris has. Ruth's Chris has more apostrophes than language from Pandora. Huh.
Starting point is 00:57:00 It's a good slam, right? Pretty good. Take that, Ruth or Chris? Well, I don't know, Lattegetti. I feel sorry for you. You've said that a lot. Not as much as I feel sorry for Big Righteous, but. A lot of depressing guys on this one.
Starting point is 00:57:13 But I'm happy. So, again, maybe the happiest one here. That was said. I agree. Got to have more women on the show to just cheer it up a little bit. I mean, you got three. Are you reading the Reddit? Just three losers here on the show.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Are men inherently sadder? I think so these days. These days, yeah. They're being told that they can't be men anymore. I know it sucks. All I know is, yeah, I can't say anything anymore. And it's not just me that's lonely. It's all men, apparently.
Starting point is 00:57:39 It's an epidemic. We treat women like shit and then wonder why we're alone. I give the concept of men five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Hell yeah. That's, that's, see, that's what we need to make ourselves feel better here as men. We should be male allies. That's right.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Yeah, there's not as much space for men. Yeah. Men need more places to hang out and be men. A flag that's just black and white stripes. Like, referee. I like this idea. This boring fucking flag. Well, Lottengetti, I, I'm afraid we're running out of time.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Does that surprise you? It doesn't. I was just trying to think of an in-cell pizza. So the wheels are turning. Yeah, how's that thought for us going? I'm feeling frustrated. I need to take out that anger on something, but I don't know. But who knows?
Starting point is 00:58:36 But I'm happy most of the time, so... Except when I'm reminded that men aren't not. That's great. Well, we are running out of time, unfortunately. We are? I just told you that. Huh. You asked if it came as a surprise.
Starting point is 00:58:48 It didn't the first time. It didn't the second time. I don't know. No figure. Quite where you are. But look, we are running out. How much time do we have? Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:58:56 There's only time for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called plugs. All right. That was plugs by Arsenio Corridor. Thanks to Arsenio Corridor. If you have a plugs theme, head over to CBBWorld.com slash plugs. I like that pun a lot.
Starting point is 00:59:29 You liked it. Ooh, who, who, who, who, who, who. What do we plug in? Gino, do you have anything to plug? Yeah, you can listen to one episode of the Gino Lombardo show a month on the Maximus tier, I believe, whatever the top tier is. Kind of dripping it out. We're dripping it out, yeah. Because it doesn't have its seminex.
Starting point is 00:59:46 That's right. So it's just a little, a little drip-trip. So you can get that there. And if you want all 30 episodes in a commemorative little cassette tape with some original art from a Long Island artist, you can go to gino.gabris.com and buy a USB drive that has all 30 episodes.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Now, is there another show, because I know you like this comedian from Long Island. Oh, yeah. Is there a note about Eddie Murphy? No, I'm talking about John Gabers. Is there another podcast that may be the reason that... Yeah, no, I know. I was going to get to it.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Don't you worry. I've been told I got my marching orders. Yeah, there's this podcast. It stars John Gabris And stars is a big word Yeah As a matter of fact For a podcast
Starting point is 01:00:26 Yeah he co-hosts a podcast And he's not even the star The real star is his co-host You might know him from Champagne ill or indebted That's Adam Pally TV's Adam Pally He requests that as his title
Starting point is 01:00:41 But I've heard that he feels He's a movie star and too big to do podcasts Yeah he brings that up a lot On the few episodes I've watched so far Listen to Sorry we're not You know what? It is being filmed too.
Starting point is 01:00:51 It's on YouTube. You can watch it on YouTube. It's called Staying Alive, like the Bee Gees song. And what is this all about? It's a health and wellness podcast from the unhealthy and the unwell. So John Gabor's, you know, famous fucking genius kind of like a comics comic who's never really popped for some reason. Still young, still handsome, but, you know, he's figuring his life out.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Sure. And then Adam Pally kind of has been movie actor. And the two of those guys together host this. And they have on both comedian friends and then also doctors. and luminaries in the health and wellness community. And these guys are unhealthy and unwell both physically and also in their heads. Yeah, they're mentally unwell and physically unhealthy for sure. Or either way, you want to say that.
Starting point is 01:01:32 But yeah, they're not doing great. And sexually, they're disgusting. And they seem to bring out the worst in each other, don't they? Some people would say that. Some people would say that their partnership is going to be their undoing in the long term and that maybe they should just remain friends and not attach each other. Some of the friends of either of these people have worried about maybe we need to extricate them. Yeah, because they used to have a show called 101 places to party before you die.
Starting point is 01:01:56 They only got to eight places. Yeah. HBO Max. Or max.com. They only got to eight places. So then they were like, fuck it. We need to flip the coin. We're dying soon. Let's get a podcast about staying alive.
Starting point is 01:02:07 All right. Well, this is, I mean, it sounds like a great show. And it's out right now. It's out right now. What do they say? Wherever you listen to your podcast. That's right. And also YouTube.
Starting point is 01:02:14 You can watch it. You can watch it. Yes, that's right. we are undercutting union television by making full-blown YouTube series. And would you suggest people watching these guys, like looking at them for this long? Well, I would say do whatever, however you prefer to engage with podcasts. But the hosts of staying alive are more traditionally attractive than most podcast hosts. Oh, you don't say.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Yeah, they're pretty fucking good-looking guys. And not just, like, comedy good-looking, like actually good-looking. Should podcasters have their own calendar, like firemen, do you think? Yeah, like Stavi? If you got the balls or the bod, however you want to freight, or the walls, as we say for the ladies. Yeah. Balls to the walls.
Starting point is 01:02:56 If you got the walls, got the walls. Got blue walls. My wife's got blue walls. I got to get home and tag her. Well, this sounds great. It's called staying alive. Staying alive. They are being sued by the BGs right now, so they're dealing with that.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Yeah. That's a way to get famous. Oh, yeah. Hey, I'll do whatever. Big Righteous. What are you plug in here? Well, I got to plug my favorite comedian. social media. He reposts all my videos. Matt Apodaca on all social media platforms. And also his
Starting point is 01:03:23 podcast get played where he talks about video games with Nick Weiger and Heather Ann Campbell. And they're also funny. Yeah, that's a great show. That's a collection of very funny, very normal people. They're very normal and they have normal thoughts and they interact with people in a normal way. Famously. Maybe there's a 1% that's weird about them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The eye contact lasts for exactly how long you want it to. But 99% of this time, they're normal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They won't drill down on something for too long.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I notice you're really hammering Nick and Heather, but I think all three of the hosts are fucking weird. Look. One of them gives too much eye contact, the third guy. And I can't tell if that guy's a grown-up or a kid. He's making up for the lack of eye contact in the other direction. Oh, I get it now. Well, this sounds good.
Starting point is 01:04:10 And Lott and Getty, what do we want to plug? Speaking of Walls, you know that Shina Easton's song? sugar walls. I had no idea how filthy that was until I was grown up. I listened to that many times, and no idea how disgusting and depraved it is. Prince wrote it. Prince wrote it. Yeah, yeah. He's disgusting. He's a filthy guy, isn't he?
Starting point is 01:04:27 Oh, yeah. Famously, a hornball. Yeah. I'm going to plug, this is coming out, we don't know the date, but the season finale of the show Ghosts is going to be on CBS this coming Thursday and then on Paramount Plus the next day. Well, it'll be out. I think by the time this comes out, I would imagine. Well, it won't be, then it won't have been scrubbed from the internet yet, so you can watch it up. You think it's going to be scrubbed? I don't think it's going to be scrubbed. You don't think it will. But just in case this episode comes out before the season finale, there's probably some episodes that aired beforehand that people can catch up on. And they're all on Paramount Plus. What's your stake in ghosts here? Like, why do you care about this show?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Sitting in the back of the, you know, Little Caesars, we only get rabid ear antennas. So I can only watch one of the main four channels. And that's the one I like. I mean, yeah, it skews older, but not ghosts. Ghosts is for all. all ages. From 9 to 99. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's good for that. Do they make sex jokes that are too? They do. So for eight-year-olds can't watch it, and 100-year-olds would have heart attack.
Starting point is 01:05:27 So 9-9-9 to 99 is the right move. I fucking love that show, Ghosts. It's got some of my favorite people on it. B.S.J., BS. Betsy Siddhar own brand is got John's for the non-comedy-influenced. Ut-Kush. Oh, fuck. So many great people on that show.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I can name almost all of them. It's probably too frightening. I keep going. I'm kind of tapped at this point The Viking The Viking guy Is He changed his name
Starting point is 01:05:53 They were gonna make like famous ghosts in there You know Like Tupac or anything like that? Well they have to have died on the property So they can't leave the property So they have had Al Capone About ghosts
Starting point is 01:06:04 Al Capone died on that property They used him in a flashback Okay interesting There was a party there that he attended Famous Ghosts no Alexander Hamilton that they've used him in a flashback as well. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:06:18 A lot of owls, a lot of famous owls. Yeah. Weird Al? Is he going to die on that property? God will. Fingers crossed. If all goes according to plan. One of the actors, John Hartman on there, his dad actually did suggest why are there no children on there? And I had to explain that would have been, we have to have to explain a child ghost.
Starting point is 01:06:37 It worked for Casper? It did, yeah. So he's not so dumb, is he? My dad? His dad? His dad? My dad... Casper's Dan?
Starting point is 01:06:45 No, my dad is Papa John's. Yeah, I'm putting that together right now. Yeah. The owner of Red Baron, yeah. And you can also just check out at John L. Hartman. Hmm, fantastic. I'm going to plug,
Starting point is 01:06:58 head over to CBBWorld.com. This is where you get the aforementioned Gino show one a month as God intended. Oh, yeah. And we also have ad-free episodes of Comedy Bang Bang, the entire archive, every single episode we've ever done
Starting point is 01:07:12 as well as all of the live episodes. You have my movie show. Scott hasn't seen. We finished up month, month recently. It was where we did all movies that had months in the title. Ooh. Yeah, it was an incredible, incredible month. And it's just very satisfying for everyone involved. We also have College Town, the neighborhood listen. We have CBB Presents like, Hey, Randy. Yeah, we have Who Me with the Batman. We have Will I'm Heinz to Prov you or something like that. Bill Walton.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Bill, yeah, Walton. We have this book. saved my life so many great shows over there. If you're just listening to this show, you should go over there and someone said to me the other day, you know, you should talk about how cheap it is because I assumed it was $800, $900 for this. No, it's a fraction of that.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Oh, a fraction of $900? I'm in. Tell me no more information. I don't need a numerator or a denominator. I'm ready to rip. No, it's way cheaper than that. Head over to CBB World and get on the plans. All right, let's close up the old plug bag.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Open the plug bag with me, dude. Open the plug back with me, dude. Just please don't close it and be rude. Please don't close it and be, dude. Just don't close it and be. Didn't we use this one already on the 16th anniversary episode? Pretty sure we did. Anyway, that was Dubbed Me Dude by Ross Brackett.
Starting point is 01:09:02 If it wasn't that one, it was very similar. Having just listened to it, I think it was. I gave it five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Brett, you can end the episode right before the bands. Well, guys, and I do mean guys, I want to thank you so much for being on the show. Gino, it was so wonderful to have you here. Always a pleasure, Scotty Ocks.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Plug that Ocks scored in, and of course talking about your dick that you can plug into this. And Big Righteous. Um, hopefully we will not cross paths again, but... I don't think my mom's going to let me go on my dad's weekends anymore. I'm so sorry. Because of this show, you think because of being on the show in the way... It's gross negligence being here. Oh, it's gross, all right.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Just being on any podcast, I would imagine? Any podcast. It's a base art form, right? It's ghost to be on a podcast. It's pronounced ghosts. Oh, sorry, that's right. And yes, Lott and Getty, ghosts, of course. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yeah. Big day for me, a lot of introspection. Yeah, what do you think is going to happen to you after this? I mean, this might be the last time we ever crossed. I know life is long and anything can happen, but we may never see the likes of you again. Oh, I've seen you in the store before. You may say you haven't eaten there, but you've been there.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Come on, don't blow up my spot here. Yeah, yeah, you've been, yes, the saddest-looking person I've seen walking in there, and it's the Little Caesars. Want to hear my impression of Scott at Little Caesars? I'll have a pizza pizza pizza and a pizza pizza, six pizzas. Come on, guys.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Don't gang up on me. I'm the host of the show. You shouldn't have invited so many men. Oh, no, I'm Big Alford. Let's go to the capital. Oh, shit. All right, we'll see you there and see you next week. Thanks, bye.
