She sells big bells by the bell store and my ears are ringing bang bang bang. Welcome to Comedy bang bang She sells big bells by the bell store and my ears are ringing. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Atila the Hyundai. Is that how you pronounce that Hyundai? Yes.

Thank you very much. You're my fact checker for today's episode. Yes. A lot of times I'll say stuff that I get details wrong. Yeah. I mispronounce words. I need you here for me today. Okay.

I'll validate it all. Okay. Fantastic. I love this. Yeah. Just tell me I'm right even if I'm wrong. That's what I really want. Yeah.

More importantly, I won't look into it. Okay, I appreciate this. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. My name is Scott Ackerman. We have an exceptional show. Coming up a little later, we have a ghost expert. We also have a bird. A ghost expert and a bird coming up a little later on the show.

But let's get to the person who's dulcet tones. just heard. One of the deeper voices in comedy, would you agree? Um, sure. This is... Are you going to fact check this? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to...

Tell me, tell me what... Do the tones of everyone's voice and then be like, oh, I am the deepest. Tell me someone deeper. I don't know because of how I don't have a list of deep voice. But I mean, like, can you think of anyone who's, uh, you know, like, if this were an Acapella group, you would all know exactly where you fit in. Yeah. You know, comedy.

is certainly not an a cappella group. That's not what I'm saying. No, but let me think if I can think of someone with a deeper voice. But you mean specifically, of course, a stand-up with a deeper voice. Yes, exactly, yeah. Or I guess... What if I'm the deepest voiced stand-up? I think you might be.

I can't think of a single other one. All right. You know what? I don't know why. I will take that. I imitate another comedian. I'll just throw out. Me?

Yeah, yeah. Eddie Murphy. Go ahead. Hi. I'm Eddie Murphy. I am in a tight, tight red suit, and I, yes, is it a, would you describe my impression as dead on? You know how most comedians simply describe what they're wearing and then go home? Have a good night, everyone.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm America's deepest voiced comedian. I think you might be. I'm going to put that on like a, like a, now a funny headshot where I have like a chef's hat. Yes. And like maybe a little version of you peeking out from underneath the chef's hat, like a attitude. but you're just like a miniature. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, a little me. That needs no explanation. No, no. People know the show they're getting when they go see that comic live. He is a stand-of comedian, as mentioned. He is an actor. He has a new special called Here Comes the Whimsie, which is out now on YouTube. Please welcome back to the show.

Eugene Murman, one of the Titans of Comedy. Hello. Hello. Oh, did you remember you're one of the Titans of Comedy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who were the others? It was Anthony Juselnick. It is. It's, yes, it's basically me and then people who have very beautifully crafted dark one-liners. Yes, it was, I'm looking at the episode now. This is an episode from March 7, 2013. Uh-huh. And it is Anthony Jesselnik, Nathan Fielder, and you. Yeah. Are the Titans of Comedy.

We branded you as the Titans of Comedy. Excellent. That is excellent. I am in great company. Have you guys been touring together? Have you kept to... No, but I would. They're wonderful. They're fantastic. Yes. I adore them.

Eugene, welcome back to the show. Anything been going on with you? Nope. Nothing in the news. That's not the answer I usually get when I ask a friend. Anything going on with you. Nothing in the news. That makes me feel like they're...

Something in the news. I'm redoing the... I've been hired to redo the West Wing of the White House. Really? And here's the thing. I don't know what I'm doing. But he was at no big contract. Yeah.

No, I just got it. I just got it because I was like, I have an idea. No, what's going on with me? Well, I have a new special out. New special. Here comes the whimsy. Yeah. And this details your life probably from birth up till about, what, a month or two ago.

Yeah, yeah, yes. I mean, yeah, taped it last year. Yeah, what is the date that your life took a radical left? turn? March 31st, you mean? March 31st, that's right. Yes. The last day of March.

The last day of March. It's, yeah, it's, that's what you mean. They say, where are the aides of March? But you had to look out for 16 days after it. Yeah. Yes, exactly. Yes, I was in a terrible car accident. Is that way, is that?

That is what I'm hinting around. Yes. That is, it made national headlines, perhaps even international headlines. Did you see any international headlines of like, I haven't flipped on it. Probably. Eugene Marvin. Yes.

Shaboon! Yes, yes, exactly. It was covered in all, like, very fun, like, vibrant Italian press. And a lot of, like, oh. Mama me, Eugene! Yeah, exactly. Here, he's not the voice of Gene, but imagine if he was. How sad that would be.

Yeah. You, Eugene, if you don't know. If you're not out there scanning TMZ, the 30-mile zone, of course. Yeah. Or any of the national press, you may not know that on March 31st, Eugene Merman pulled what we like to call a Eugene Merman by... Yeah, it's like, it's terrible when you do a bit and you're like, I can't even explain it. By ramming his car, ramming is fair to say, right? So, I mean, yes, it probably is.

I drove, and again, I don't remember it, so I don't know if I was potentially, like, blacked out or unconscious. Or did it on purpose? No, yeah, yeah. So the chances of it being on purpose are, I would say very slight, like, meaning I would not. Knowing your personality. So, yeah, so, like, and I talked to the policeman who saw the video of the toll booth, and I, and it sounds like the car. You rammed into a toll booth. Yes, yes, which, look, here's the thing.

A lot of people do ram into that toll booth, but not as many as don't. Right. So. It's probably a 0.001% of cars that pass by it. Many people pass by. Some ram it. Rarely in the afternoon quickly. So there's a version where I was either distract or blacked out or something

happened with the car. Like I don't know and I don't know that I'll ever really know. And you spoke to the policeman who saw the video you were saying. Yeah. And I spoke to him in general. And I think in the hospital I'd said that I, You know, I remember looking at the map. And, you know, I don't know if there's like a quick turn and it comes up quickly.

I don't really know. Do you think there was someone in the toll booth that you were up? There's no person in the toll booth. There's, okay. So it's an unmanned toll booth. So I was the only one in it luckily. So it was not attempted murder. No, I wasn't like mad at a toll booth guy who'd really gotten me in 1981.

And by the way, you are, you are under oath. Yes. So. Podcasts traditionally are under oath. Yes. You brought your own. book to do the Othon, which what is this?

This is the unbearable lightness of being. Yes. Yeah, but that's what I do my Othon. Yeah. And so you ram into this toll booth. That's not the end of the story because that would be the end of the story for a lot of people of like, oh gosh, I got into a fender bender

with this toll booth. You ram into the toll booth. You are unconscious. It perhaps makes you unconscious or perhaps you are unconscious before. Well, it probably helps continue. Yes, it's unclear. Whether you passed out and that's what caused the accident.

Like, even like, is it like, did I pass out for three seconds and then that was enough? I believe there's an ER episode where someone, uh, passes out in the car and rams into something. And they do a battery of tests. I hope they did a battery of tests. Yes, yes. And they were like, oh my God, this accident, which everyone thought you were drunk for, actually was you passing out as has let us see that you have a major medical problem that we need to fix. Did he like that? We're in the process of figuring out if I have, yeah, like...

The test don't come back as soon as they do on TV? Well, they do if you edit the whole thing together. Oh, we should do that. Yeah. But yes, I am trying to figure out if, in fact, I have an arrhythmia, or if I have, like, sleep happening. Or if there's a thing that could have medically contributed. So you may have been passed out before running into it,

or you may have run into it from a whoopsie of types of like, you know, like you spilled... you know, sticky coke on your hands and tried to grasp the... Yeah, yeah. I might have been trying to... Playing with marmalade. I might have been eating marmalade out of a jar with my hand, and I was like, oh, my hand's sticky and I'm like distracted. But again, there was no marmalade found. You may have eaten it all, though. Have you thought about that?

It's true that it's possible I ate a whole jar of marmalade and it was confused out of my mind. But so you may have lost control. You may have... become unconscious, but then what happens is, and I have not seen this anywhere but in the movies. Yeah. The car bursts into flames. I don't know exactly when because I'm not burned so. Right. And here's the thing.

I haven't looked up the stories to be like, oh, I made it. You have to watch the video? No, because I don't know. It's probably quite disturbing. Yeah, yeah. There's some trauma that you don't need. Yeah, so I haven't. You already have enough trauma regarding the incident.

And I have to answer questions on a stupid. podcast about it. But I'm happy to. But like I had a concussion but the concussion basically was like I don't remember the accident. I know that you know when I was pulled out I The car is on fire and you are pulled out of it.

I don't know if I was pulled out. I don't know how much the car was under fire when I was pulled out but it was probably I remember being in the ambulance and seeing my car on fire and being like oh I'm glad I'm not there. And then I remember thinking like this is definitely not a dream. This is like. So you woke up in the ambulance. I thought you would have woken up in the hospital.

So you what, I mean, I briefly remember it. And then the next thing I remember was the hospital. Right. But I put it together. I was like, oh,

this ambulance took me to a hospital. So this is what I wanted to ask because like, you, you see this in movies and TV all the time, the person waking up in the hospital. Yeah. You know, but you,

you, when you woke up in the hospital, you got it. I had, I had known that, I mean, again, I was sort of confused. I couldn't remember why it was where I was.

And now, then I was like, oh, yeah, I was going to Vermont. Why? And why were you going to Vermont? Are you able to share this? Oh, okay. I was going to Julie Smith Clem's home, who, you know, directed the special and we have a label together along with our friend, Auditie.

And the three of us were meeting up to, you know, work on stuff related to putting out the special and album. And then you don't arrive at this pre-planned meeting. No, because I made a stop. I decided to stop at hospital for several days. Right. So now this has happened to me occasionally where someone doesn't show up where and when they're supposed to be there. Yeah. And the mind starts kind of going like, is this person all right?

They're not answering their phone. So I think what actually happened was whoever pulled me out or I think a few people pulled me out. But one of them asked me if I like for a phone number and I had a concussion who was baffled. They wanted your phone number? phone number. Okay. And so I gave it to them. They called my wife.

And then she called and let, and so then Julian Adity came to meet me at the hospital, which got it. You know, so at all, we did, not that we like, we're like, okay, let's finish our meeting. Did the,

whatever you were meeting about, was that ever resolved? Yes, yes. We ended up. Yeah. I just want to make sure. Yeah,

yeah. Don't worry. I got to, I signed vinyl that will, that was mailed out a week later. Oh, good, good. Yeah. So everything.

worked out. Don't worry. Can you imagine if this had a different outcome and you didn't get to sign that vinyl? I know. And then people had paid for it and then you have to refund it and then my final special is called, here comes the whimsy. And I'm, and it's just so sad. So I'm like obviously like so lucky and I have no idea what happened or what caused it. And I think like, you know, there's guesses of what, again, like all be able to, even if I find out that I have a heart condition, I don't know that that's what happened then. It's just that I have a heart condition. You just have to guess on all this kind of stuff.

Yeah, I mean, and all I can do is be like, well, if I was distracted, I'm not, I probably won't be. Yeah. Has it, have you thought about getting behind the wheel again? Yes, I drove. Yes. I mean, the first time was, I don't know, a week or two later where I literally moved the car from down to the street to our, like, parking, to our driveway.

And did you have any kind of like, no, I was like, this is fine. and then the next day I like drove my son of school and I was like this is fine and then we had planned. And then a couple of days later you're just like on your phone while you're driving. Oh yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. Well, no, it took me a while, but I looked to see if I had any incoming or outgoing emails or text or anything at that time and I didn't. Right. So I know that like that wasn't a thing.

Right. But I, you know, I don't know. And if it had gone the other way and we're so glad that it didn't. Yeah. Was there a plan in place for like Bob's burgers? Is there a line of succession? Like does Dan Mintz get to like go up and start doing your part and someone takes over his or what? Yeah, I don't know.

I haven't inquired as to who they would get. But yeah. Yeah, is there someone out there with another deep voice in comedy that you think? Who does like a kid who plays a high-voiced kid? I don't know. Has anyone ever had to re like do a couple of lines for Eugene on or no, sorry, Gene is the character name on Boxburgers. It's indistinguishable.

But you know what I mean? We're like, oh, you're not available because you're in Bali or something. And they go, oh, get this guy to do. No, I don't believe so. You've done 100% of the dialogue. I believe that's true. And there supposedly is no plan in place. The producers is not.

I am unaware, though. Who knows if now there's a backup? Because, you know, I've always said this. I feel like, you know, you don't want the West Wing effect to happen where like one of the main actors passes away and then you're unprepared. And they were only like five or six episodes away from the show ending. I've always said that any actor on a show needs to come in on their first day and film a scene of them clutching their heart going, ah! So that it can be incorporated into the show a little bit later.

Yes. We do that on Bob's. I mean, they have a lot of us just going, ah. Right. Yeah, I don't know. Do you think that would you prefer that they, kill off your character in Bob's burgers where you to, where you did no longer be here?

No, no, I probably prefer. You want him to go on? I want, yeah, I want. That would be a tragedy for the family, wouldn't it? Yeah, so, so I don't know that what Bob's needs is a deep, deep tragedy where, like, the middle child dies. And then, like, episodes are not about it, but, like, always hit, it just. I feel like there's an easy fix, which is, like, he dies and then cut to, it just says cut

two years later. That way there's like we don't have to see the grieving process you know and it's like... Yeah, but here's the thing about cartoons nobody ages. So two years later, what are you then making everybody older? I don't think you're doing that. That would be fun though, wouldn't it? See everyone two years later? I mean, how old

is Kristen's character? I believe she's nine. Be great to see her at 11. I don't know. She's so perfect at nine. I know, but I mean, it would be kind of fun to see her like entering sixth grade. Yeah. Yes.

And all that that entails? It's true. Middle school. Yeah. You know, first day of middle school? I think this is a good idea. Though every episode is first day of middle school. Right.

Yeah, yeah. And so, um, you're special. You don't, you don't address it in the special. No, because it happened beforehand. Yeah, I taped it in. What is, what is like the, if it was your last word, we mentioned how weird that would be if this was like the last special you ever put out. Yeah, yeah.

Now I'm going to release quickly try to make another one. Yeah, is there anything at the end of the special that would sum up your career? Like, if it had to be, had to have been the last one, like, you know, or is the last line of the special just kind of goofy? And you're like, well, that's the last thing we ever hear from Eugene. I think the last part of the special is people tap dancing. Really? Yeah. That's fun.

Yeah. That's good. Yeah, see? I would describe it even as whimsical. Do you think you would have made the in-memorium? Do you know? Oh, no. Oh, the Emmys, I bet you would have.

Emmys, I bet you would have. I know you would have. Emmys, maybe, yeah, because, but I'm not in, I'm not in, I've been like, one and a half movies or something. The Oscars, you would. No, there's no, like, there's no version. What about the Grammys? Latin Grammys, Latin Grammys, maybe. I wonder if I would make, like, the People's Choice Award in-vaboard.

Do they have an in-memorium? Have you ever won a People's Choice Award? I don't think I've been nominated, but maybe Bob's has. Probably. Yeah. Probably. I think I said, probably. I think I said, probably.

I think I said, probably. Probably. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I don't know. But, you know, I now want to make a list of organizations that I think would wish me well if I died. It is slightly interesting experiencing almost your own funeral because lots of people reached out and it's like, oh, this is what it would have been like if I had died. And then, but everyone's like, and he didn't die. I mean, no one's disappointed.

I think they also like the amount, the news and the first. fire or whatever was so insane. Right. And then I'm kind of like, I mean, I had a concussion and I fractured. It's not like you had a heart attack and everyone hears about it and goes, oh my God. You know, it was just so crazy to, you know, to read it in the news first, you know, before anyone reach. Because sometimes there's a little bit of, you know, a game of telephone with comedians of like,

did you hear about this? Did you hear about this? It was pure like TMZ like, what the fuck just happened? Yeah, yeah. And it was also obviously so insane because. Like, I also have no idea what happened or caused it. I mean, I reached out to my friend who works on Bob's burgers just to, you know, see what he knew about it. And, you know, and so I got a little more information.

Yes, because I was supposed to record the next day. And I couldn't. And so I, yeah, so we, I call, like, my wife called Bob's and let them know. And then, so everyone there knew I was basically fine. Fine, yeah. But, you know, obviously. And you're, like, you're not burned up or anything like that. And you basically wake up in the hospital.

How long are you there? I was there for essentially three days, two and a half days. Why so long if there wasn't? Well, because I broke my wrist. You did. And then I broke my wrist and had surgery on it. Oh, okay. And I had fractured or broken two ribs in my sternum and had a concussion and maybe like a bruised lung.

Like there was, I wasn't like not injured, but I wasn't like so injured that once I had surgery. and also the person next to me who was a very nice man, but also he listened to the news very loud. So every day I would hear my story of my car accident very loudly with new pieces of information added each day. And so it was like, you know, at first it's like, you know, the governor's details saves this man from a burning car. And then it's like, good news.

That man is Eugene Berman. Like that's what we were, when I was filling out like the discharge hospital papers, it was the story of it being me finally revealed as if it was like the funnest thing in the world. We got a great big surprise for everyone. Yeah, you could know his voice. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So that was fun.

And did the guy in the bed next to you who was hearing this news? Did he ever go like, wait a minute, are you? Yeah. So like after maybe the second day or something, he's like, hey, you were the guy from the crash? And I was like, I am. He's the guy who called TMZ, didn't he? No, I think TMZ just called the hospitals in the area. And I don't know how many there are. Maybe it was the first or third call. So do they know it's you and they're calling hospitals in the area? Or are they just calling hospitals?

I think they're calling and asking for Eugene Merman. And then, and then the nurses were so sweet. And the staff there was so sweet. And then when that happened and I was sort of physically shaken, they were like, we can make you a private patient. And I was like, oh, what's that? And they're like, well, there were nobody can call you. And then you can make even a password for people to come. But then of course, The only people actually visiting are like my friends and family. So it's like very funny where like the next day they asked my brother for the password. And he's like, what password? And then so they come to me and be like, this guy is your brother? And I was like, yes, yes, please, please let him visit me. Wow. Although it would be really fun though if the TMZ guy says like, you know, I'm his brother.

Yeah, yeah. No, they just call probably hospitals and ask to speak to me. Wow. But yeah, but they reacted very quickly. And then after that it was probably hard to call. Well, I mean, it is a bizarre thing, I'm sure, to go through something like this, hopefully decades away from when, you know, it'll happen for real. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yes. Yes. I hope that in 51 years, when I'm 102, I do it again. Yes. And whatever, you know, that'll be my. And that's the final chapter. Exactly. But it's, it's, you must have some inkling of how loved and respected you are within the community.

and yes there was a very sweet outpouring and lots of people texting and yeah and it yes so there there there was uh great and when we don't always know that we you know we uh sometimes can be like i wonder what other people think about me i bet they talk shit about me all the time and then you find out that no actually they uh they they enjoy your company and respect you and we are very glad that you're here uh and not uh you know where you're wherever we, did you get any kind of like glimpse into the great beyond? Did you like go towards a light or anything like that? No, I mean, look, is it really tempting to be like, I spoke to God and he told me these things and you have to follow my new cult? Here's two stone tablets. Yeah, exactly. Like, as you guys can imagine, I'm fireproof. So I think we should do everything I say.

No. I mean, like. No, it was just Dreamland. That was right? I mean, I, yeah, I was just unconscious. and very confused and very, like, upset and traumatized, but not, you know. Do you think you'll ever go through that toll booth again? Well, here's the thing. The funding already exists to remove it. Like, meaning by the, even like, because a lot of people do crash into it. Not like, again, more than don't. Right.

But the funding is there to remove the toll booth. So this was already in the works. Because I think it's not, I think it's an unhelpful thing. Does it collect money? I believe it does. through some sort of scanning system. You should get like a free pass through this for the rest of your life. I mean, I wish there were ceremonies for removing a toll booth because I would

absolutely attend. But I can't imagine. What's the reverse of putting a big ribbon? Seal a red tape. Yes. I would gladly be there for the unveiling of no toll booth. Yeah, I mean, you're like the patron saint of that area now. I bet they should erect like a statue there.

I don't know. I mean, all I did is for no clear. statue then or? Oh, I don't think they should. Well, maybe they put the statue on the side of the highway. So I wouldn't want to do a thing where like we've replaced this now with a statue. You have to dodge. But, yeah. Well, congratulations, Eugene. That's, uh, it's, it's at least, uh, an interesting experience. I know you probably were in some pain. Uh, yes, and, uh, you seem, you seem okay now. I am, I am relatively. I mean, I think I'm just so thankful. And I am, yeah, much more okay than one would imagine. Yeah. from whatever. Was there anything not to continue dwelling on this, but was there anything that you were like, oh shit, now I really know I need to put this bit of my affairs in order or anything.

So this is sort of the truth is, as you know, like my first wife died from cancer. Right. So I had already prioritized my life in a way of what was sort of important and meaningful to me. Right. So I truly didn't need another life lesson.

of how valuable life is. I get it. I was all set. So now I'm like, oh, life is super duper precious. And it's just like, I don't know.

Yeah. So the irony is as I already, like, I live, you know, in like a place in your friends and family and I already sort of prioritize the things.

Do you feel like, who's that dude in the Bible? Job, right? I mean, he's certainly in the Bible, but I don't know enough to, yeah. You know, where it's just like, man, why is all this shit happening to me? Yeah. And then you look at, I'm trying to think of anyone else. Yeah.

In comedy, who just has an easy time of it. Oh, I don't know. I imagine everyone in common. No one has like an easy time. They're all. One of the other titans of comedy, like, oh, boy, why didn't this happen in Nathan Fielder? Anthony. Oh, I don't know.

People would be, it can't happen in Nathan Fielder because people would be like, this is for, he's like, he's recreating a toll. Crash. He's going to recreate my thing. That'll be his next series will be him rebuilding that toll booth on a stretch of highway in Indiana. Well, the special is here comes the whimsy and it's getting great reviews all across the board. It's on YouTube and it's free to watch. It's $2,000 of you. My recoupment plan is, yeah, I just need 17 people. And there's no GoFundMe or anything for you or there is... No. Sorry, that was too dramatic. That was really forceful. Yeah, I just, no, I haven't.

You mean for the special or for just me personally? No, just for you. I mean, you're a Hollywood, you have a part on a long running sitcom. Yeah, I have health care through Sag After as I imagine a lot of us do. It's insane that we tie health care into people's jobs, isn't it? Yes, though I think until I'm 65, I'll have health care and then I probably have to. just never never crash again however it works do you think do you do you do you think you do you think you will drive now and have you been driving with extra care i or are you have you just slipped

right back into the old like yeah i mean i think we were driving recently and i like let like probably like five cars in front of me and my wife's like what are you doing i'm like i'm just very very careful. But yeah, I mean, that's the thing. Like, I think I'm, you know, I'm going to, like, all the things that could have caused this are basically like me being distracted, something medically with me or something with the car or probably some combo. Yeah, it's not like another car.

No, there was no other car. My car. Yeah. I wasn't trying to stop or jerking in any way, which means, I don't know, it was probably in some sort of auto drive, probably, but not definitely. But again, because I wouldn't intentionally drive quickly into a toll booth smoothly. I have to imagine it was probably in some sort of mode like that. And then probably something happened to me to not make me stop it.

Maybe you thought it was something else, though. It's true that there could have been a glare. It's not impossible that there was some sort of glare. I don't mean it was empty road. No, no. You thought it was like something that you like a duck or something that you wanted to kill. I mean, a toll booth, it is possible that there's. some sort of turn in the way the sun, you know, anyway, these are all possibilities.

There was a thing with like the insurance claim where you basically have to be like, am I 50.1% responsible? And I had to be like, yeah, I mean, no one else was driving. Even if it's all these other things, I can't be like, well, it wasn't me. I'm 10% responsible. The shaggy defense. It wasn't me. Yeah, yeah. Well, here comes the whimsy is out right now. And I implore everyone to see it. There's no better time than watching Eugene. do comedy. I've, I've been seeing you since, God, now for 25 years, I feel like. I think I saw you out here at the knitting factory. Yeah, for Stella. Yeah. Yeah, you know, and it's just one of the most unique minds in comedy. And honestly, he's one of the Titans of Comedy, which says a lot. And we're going to

take a break. When we come back, we have a ghost expert, we also have a bird. Great. Does that sound good? Yeah, it doesn't sound good. It sounds great. All right. We're going to take a break. We're going to come right back with more Eugene Merman. More comedy bang bang, bang. We'll be right back after this. Comedy Bang Bang, Bang. We're back. Eugene Merman is here.

Here comes the whimsy is his special. You can get it on YouTube. What are we talking about? 60 minutes, 61, 62. Yeah, I forget it's exact length. I think it's somewhere in the 56 to 57. Is that one of the things you forgot in the accident? Yeah, I forget the exact length of my special.

That's the I have a concussion. And I forgot the accident and the exact time length of my special. Okay, well, let me look it up for you. And here comes the whimsy. Yeah. It happens to be... 57 minutes, 15 seconds. I'm going to have to click on it in order to figure this out.

People in this room. That's the first line of the special. Yeah, that's John Hodgman introducing me. Oh, John Hodgman, our good friend, John Hodgman, who owns a boat. It is 55 minutes and two seconds. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty reasonable. Okay, now I'm going to ask you again and see if you remember.

How long is your special? I don't want to get this wrong. I believe it is 55 minutes and two seconds. Wow. Okay, great. So there's no long lasting damage here. Well, we don't know. What we don't know is Jewish love short term memory.

You'll have to ask me at the end. Okay, I'll ask you at the end. And see if you remember. Yeah, yeah. This is a good test. Okay, we need to get to our next guest. He's a ghost expert. Please welcome to the show, Devin Green.

Hello, Scott Ackerman. Great to be here. Oh, what an interesting accent or dialect. It's a little hard to pin down, isn't it? Where are you from? It sounds a bit Irish. It's mostly Irish. Okay.

I'm on a wee island to the west of Ireland. Oh, okay. And although I should tell you, it's a metropolitan area, and I've been told many accents are in play. I see. Okay. Well, it's, and that's where you were born. And that's why I was born and raised. Island's name? Grumbledum. Grumbledum. Wow. Is that near Dingle? I think it is. I'm not much of, not much one for geography, I'm afraid, but I believe it is. Yeah. You still famously don't know the geography. It's pretty far from. It's pretty far west. Well, I know Grumbledum, but once you leave that island, you know, it's a bit foggy. Well, it's so nice to have you on the show. Is it? It really is.

Oh, it's great to hear. That seems like it's a surprise to you. I'm not sure why. I just don't know. It's my first time in America, so I heard you a bit prickly here. Oh, no, not about. You is a country. Oh, oh, okay.

Yeah, that could be, that can be true. Yeah. But no, we, we, here at Comedy Bang Bang, this is the show where we talk to interesting people. Oh, I'm one of them, I think, so that's good to hear. I hope so, yes. Let's hear your details and I'll decide after that. You make a proclamation when I'm finished if I was indeed interested. That's right.

Now, you are a ghost expert, which seems interesting to me. So far, looking up. Yeah, so tell me about what you're an expert on. Well, I'm a history of folklore and ghost tales and sightings and hauntings. And then my home island of Grumbledom, I give tours. Because there's many folklorers. You know, it seems so soon for you to move on to your side business. Sure.

Like, we haven't explored, like, you know. Let's stay on folk. No, great, of course. That will put a pin in that. You know what I mean? I mean, like, I'm barely just registered. I didn't mean to Russia. Let's let it soak in.

Yeah, I would love that. I'm a man of mostly Irish accent from an island. Eugene, do you believe in ghosts? Be honest. No. Okay, all right. But I believe that there's things that we don't know. Okay.

But they're probably not ghosts. We know that. That's not real. We don't know. Well, let's keep the first part there. But you believe that you are in contact with ghosts? I have been in contact with ghosts. with many ghosts.

Okay, so you're not just an expert on them. You actually correspond with them? I have corresponded. I've got many a pen pal. Are there things they can tell you that you would otherwise not be able to know? Yes, very much. I love talking to ghosts.

They know so much. They know so much, yeah. Are you, you know, we've talked about several times about how putting on a show for the ghosts is masturbating. That's right, yeah. Are they... That's how I think of it.

Yeah. Is that, is it, do they, when they, They love it. They love it. They love watching people masturbate and they report in. They're so tickled by it. You know. They like the different people's styles. That's right. Yes. And only really they have the knowledge of that. Yeah. And what is the first ghost that you ever either saw or heard or so many. Because I was raised, you know, the island's so full of focal. I'm not sure I can tell you the first one I knew. That's okay. What are my favorites? An early memory. I suppose me favorite when I was a child is Miss Patty Greenlee. Miss Patty Greenlee. So here's the Tink, Scott. If you're a naughty child and you're in the castle Greenlee, okay, or Miss Patty Greenie was a servant, all right, and you misbehave, you'll hear Mrs. Greenlee's shoes creeping up behind you.

Oh, no. Pit, Pat, pit, pat. And if you don't run away immediately, you'll get covered in juice. Juice. She was a maid. She brought juice. Orange juice. juice.

She does this as a ghost or this is when she was alive? As a ghost. And as alive. So she used to throw juice. Well, when she was alive, as I understand it, it was celebration. You know, she'd come into a room of gas. I feel like I'm losing you already. No, no, no. I'm just trying to figure out if she would throw juice and then in the afterlife if she was like,

that was my favorite part of life. So I'm going to continue. I think that's what it was. So it wasn't something where she was in charge of the juice, but she would just deliver it calmly to people. This was the thing when she was alive, she would literally throw juice on people. That's right, yeah. As a celebration. Well, she was a maid.

She's a servant of the castle, so I'm assuming she had many other duties. Okay, so this wasn't her only thing. I don't think so. She's the throw juice woman that we contact every eight days. No, I doubt that was her only response. I have to say, I know more of her as a ghost. As a ghost, that's all she does. Okay.

But I imagine in her life that was just one of many activities. And is the juice a ghost as well? The juice is real. So she goes around finding real juice What if you just... That's what she does What if you just didn't keep juice in your house? Then she's out of options

And what she does is you hear the pit, the pat, The pit, and she goes, oh shit And then that's it And she goes somewhere else where there might be juice. But I give a tour and I leave juice around Because it's a great... We're back to the tour, huh? I promise it won't stay long.

It seemed extremely related to what you're saying. It's okay, no, go ahead with the tour. No, forget it. I leave juice out. If she's got no juice, you know, She just sort of says, well, you know, shite, that's it. Yeah. Uh, I mean, that sounds creepy.

Uh, I don't necessarily want juice. I mean, I would, I feel like if a ghost threw juice on me, I would then kind of be like, ghosts are real and I would, I would, when I, in the telling, if I were to be like, Eugene, I swear ghosts are real, one threw juice on me. You, you might. What I would say to you is I definitely believe juice somehow was thrown at you. I just. But wouldn't you believe it more than, oh, I saw a creepy thing and I didn't know what it was?

Yeah, I guess if juice came out of. nowhere unless you were like like earlier in the day I was working on a juice catapult yeah or there was like juice in a glass on your desk and you were like I don't think I bumped it I think a ghost spilled it on me but if I was like there was no juice

anywhere other than in the kitchen and suddenly something threw juice on me there was no one else and you you might go like I'd be like yeah that's probably a ghost or or maybe I'd be like invisible monkeys are real and they're mischievous that's true it could

They're alive. So you'd be more likely. They can't be perceived by their outside our visual spectrum. Yeah, like light bends around them. Exactly. So it'd be like, yeah, so there's probably two possibilities. One is ghost surreal. And the other is living invisible monkeys that light bends around are all are real.

And I would be like, oh, now I don't know which thing to believe. Right. Well, there's no way I'd be a monkey because a monkey wouldn't share their juice. Oh, here's the thing about what you don't know about invisible monkeys, obviously, is that. That's kind of their thing. They share juice. Well, I sort of noticed no such thing as invisible monkeys, so we don't have to talk about it. It's an interesting, fanciful sort of notion.

Some would say there's no such thing as ghosts. Well, there is because I've seen them. You've seen them, okay. And you've seen Mrs. Patty Greenlee. What's her name? Ms. Patty Greenlee. And you've seen her. Well, no, because she's invisible, but I've seen the tray of juice.

A floating tray of juice. That's right. And did you hear Miss Patty Greenlee as well? So, not see. What are the five senses? There's seeing, for sure. Yeah, there's hearing. Oh, yeah.

I love that one. There's a feeling, which is one I like, if you know what I mean. Yeah, because you're horny. That's right. You love the sexual pleasure of touch. And then the other two, we never really pay attention to. Who cares? Yeah. Mostly those three.

Seeing, hearing, and touching. The monkey, the monkey stuff. Well, that's not real. No, no, I'm saying the monkey see, monkey here, monkey. Oh, that's right. Doing is a sense. Doing is a sense. I think that's touch.

And then there's also. So taste, can you taste a ghost? To my knowledge, have you tasted a ghost. I have not tasted a ghost. I think taste is just touch. What? Tastes just touch. No.

With your tongue. Well, taste is touch and taste. Well, you know how if you put your hand on a lemon, you would only feel it. But if you put your tongue on it, you would also be like, oh, that's. But you're also feeling it. Tart. Shouldn't it be a subset of touch?

I think it's just a by. 3B taste. Well, I hate to be overly semantic, but in that case, isn't sight also touch? Huh? Huh? Because it's light. A simultaneous ha on comedy bang bang. Double ha.

What do you mean sight is also touch? Because light is touching your eyes. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Okay, we need this. So it's basically, so touch and then everything including smell because it's vapors touching your nose. Sorry to get so mad.

Hearing is, I guess, sound waves. So it's just one sense. It's touch. Yeah. And sometimes it touches your smell and sometimes it touches your taste. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, or your wiener. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, can ghosts? Sure. Oh. Have you ever had sex with a ghost? I've been sexually aroused by a ghost. I don't know. I hadn't touched one.

Okay. Because they're mostly untouchable. And what was it that was so sexually arousing about this particular ghost? Well, you know, a scene in the first Ghostbusters. when Dan Aykroy gets a blowjob. But this is a dream sequence, by the way. That's a dream, right. In Ghostbusters.

A lot of people, their memory of it is that Dan Aykroyd legitimately got a real blowjob from a ghost. This is the most passionate I've seen in this whole episode. You're ready to really get the continuity straight. But it truly was a dream sequence of him. So it's even less meaningful than we taught. That sequence was even less needed. So truly no change to the story. So this happened to you where a ghost unbuckled your pants?

No. No, but I was alone in a castle north in Grumbleddom, and a ghost acted out that scene for me. Which part? Acted out the Dan Aykroyd part? No, just the blowjob part. No, but what character was the ghost? The ghost was doing both characters? Yes, doing Dan Aykner.

Doing both, yeah. Sort of switched around. Sorry, was it two ghosts? No, one ghost. Oh, one ghost sort of folded on themselves. He was like, watch this, watch this. I was like, okay, yeah, show me. And he did, he goes, you know Ghostbusters?

I said, yeah. He said, watch us. And he did the, ooh, and then he laid down. And he switched, he goes, okay, now I'm doing, he would let me know. He'd be, now I'm acro and he lay down. And was the fact that he was a ghost so enticing? I'm just saying like if a- No performance.

If a dude were to come up and go, can I act out this scene from ghost monsters? I don't think I would get sexually aroused necessarily. You don't know that, though, because this guy, I don't think it was because he was a ghost. Well, you try it. Here, act up the scene from ghost boasters. And I'll tell you if there's any movement. I'm not an actor, but I'll do it. Okay.

Okay. How are you, by the way? I'm doing good. I'm good. Thank you. Oh, it's, I love tier in your story. Thank you. Do you guys want to do, uh, do you want to do both parts or do you want Eugene to be in on this?

Sure. Would you like to beat a ghost giving fellacious or Dan Aykraine laying down in the cut? It's the $20,000 pyramid question. You want to give or receive? And by the way, you don't have to do either. I think I would do. I would do. You know what?

love it. Yeah, I think that's probably... I'll start doing both parts and then when you say switch, you take over both. Okay, great. You're going to do both? And then when I say switch, he's going to do both? No. I want one of you to play one and when the other play the other. And then when I say switch, you switch parts.

You fucking lunatic? Sorry, I thought I was doing both. Why would you think that? I'm not an actor. I'm not an actor. Being an actor doesn't have anything to do with it. Sure, well, I don't know. See, I heard they were prickly.

Okay. All right. Go ahead. And obviously, it's fine and we don't remember the scene too clearly. Sure. Because I think we've described it enough thing. Yeah, yeah. It's a dream of a ghost.

Okay. Okay, you're going to be the ghost. I'm Dan Aykroyd. Do you want to get into the part somehow? You should start. Yeah, you need to be accurate. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm Dan Aykroyd.

Describe what you're wearing. I'm wearing a scientist outfit. I'm wearing a ghost jumpsuit. and a belt buckle. I definitely have a belt buckle. I definitely was a belt buckle. So I'm just in pants. No, he must have had pants on and a shirt.

Yeah, he must have had pants. He's just one of those guys sleeping in a pants and shirt. Yeah, with a belt on. Exactly, because that's the most comfortable way to sleep. And are these things that Dan Aykroyd is saying right now? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

I'm Dan Aykroyd. I'm sleeping in my pants and belt and shirt. All right. And I'm falling asleep. By the way, this is a dream. So it's not like he's sleeping in them. Oh, he's just lying in them. Because he's having the dream where he's,

He's not dreaming of penis. Oh, I see. He's lying down, but he's just, he's not sleeping in the dream. Exactly. I think he wakes up and he's probably wearing, like, pajamas or something. Oh, okay. Although, I don't remember. I'm going to look this one by the way while.

I don't know. I think this is sort of the movie ends? Is this the end of the movie? I don't know until today. Or was it the stay puff martial old man? Or does it just end with like, oh, that was weird? I'm going to look up. I honestly did know the dream until right now.

Yeah. Anyway. Ghost by, look, on YouTube, it's Ghostbusters, Dream Ghosts, BJ scene. Okay, all right. So that's enough for me. This is answering some of my I wonder how the child has to be to watch Ghostbusters. Do you want me to skip ahead and see

if he wakes up? That'd be great. Just so you have all the information. I'd hate to end it wrong. Yeah. Okay, he's waking up. Oh no, he is asleep and he's waking up and he's wearing pants. He's probably knotted off. Taking a nap. Okay. I forgot how much music was. Because he's tired from busting ghosts.

The ghost is, you see the ghost above and then it turns invisible, opens up his pants, and his eyes cross. Okay, right? He falls back in bed and he's receiving, oh, and then it just ends right there. They don't show him waking up then.

In this clip, they don't. That was a 26 second. Let's see if we could find another one. Here's a one. I'd hate to do it wrong. Now it's people talking about it? That's not interesting. I don't tink so. All right, I'm Dan Aykroyd.

I'm lying down. I'm probably very tired from busting ghosts. I'm wearing pants, a belt, and a shirt. Okay. I think I have to wait for a switch. Isn't that what you said you would do? God, fucking damn it. That's what you said, though, right?

No, I said in the middle of the scene, I'm going to say switch. And then you switch parts. Oh, I get it now. Yeah. Holy fucking shit. You're exhausting. I apologize. I truly didn't.

Just float around. Come on. Oh. Look up here. I'm a ghost. Switch! I'm the blues brother. I'm a, oh, me hog.

I'm a cone head. I'm not an scene. You weren't crossing your eyes. That's the one note I would give you. Oh, I appreciate that. You appreciate my note that you weren't? I do. Yeah, next time I do it.

All right. Well, that was good. Thank you. Thank you. Are you glad I yelled Switch right before the blowjob sounds that you had to make. Yeah, yeah. No, it was perfect.

So how was that, was that a rousing to anybody here? Oh, that's right. That's why we were doing this. Yeah. Because honestly, we did it much better than the ghost did it. I feel like we added a, I don't know, the verb. Yeah. Versimilitude.

Thank you, Versamilitude. That's a tough one. I can only imagine how many people are going to listen to that part over and over in private. That would be a shame. Now, was it arousing? Be honest. Don't lie.

I'm going to be honest. I was more upset with you for not getting the whole concept of the switch, right? I feel bad because I think if you weren't so mad at me it would be arousing. Yeah. We'll never know. All right, it's too bad. I was too in the character. And so when I was acroite, I did get aroused.

Okay. Yes. But when I was disclosed. So you were aroused when you were just doing it. Just now. Yeah. When you were acroid, yeah. Only as acroyd.

Okay. But that makes sense. When you were watching this ghost reenect both parts. Right away he got me. It just got you. Well, he was so in it. Yeah. And why was he, why was he reenacting this for you?

I asked him. He was like, do you need? It was by request. Yes, he was like, do you want to know anything from beyond? Do you wish to know secrets from your dead ma? And I said, hey, have you seen Ghostbusters? And he had? He loved it.

So he was born or he died after 1984. That's right. As a ghost, he saw a movie. Oh, he saw it as a ghost. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, he died before. Jesus fucking Christ. Get your story straight here.

I'm really sorry. I get why you're so frustrated. So he's a ghost and he's watching Ghostbusters over someone's shoulder as they're watching it. What other movies does he like? He only liked Ghost movies, but there are many. Yeah. There's Ghost. Ghost, of course, is a great one.

Ghostbusters 2. Yes. Sixth Sense. Sixthens is a ghost movie. Did he have an opinion on Ghostbusters 2 about how they have the patches on their uniforms with the ghost holding up a 2? That's right. They know they're in a sequel. Yeah, he did. He was very upset. He would have loved you because he was really upset at the continuity.

He would have loved me? Why can't he love me now? He's a ghost, right? Is he still a ghost? Oh, no, I destroyed him. Oh. This particular ghost. Why? What does that mean? Well, you can, you can, so the, a ghost is a spirit who hasn't moved on to the beyond. Yes. Okay. If you sort of either helped them or sometimes banish them, they move on. And in a way, their ghost existence is over. So you, you, you, why the verbiage destroyed him. You banished. him? I banished him, yeah. He was an evil spirit, so to help him move on meant he went down to him. Why do you think he was evil? Because he didn't

I mean, he got you aroused. He didn't do it good enough for you? No, that part was great. He then sort of belittled me, and he goes a real bully. Okay. What were you doing to make him act like that? I was sort of telling him he was a piece of shit.

And he got mad at me about it. And he sort of said, well, you got a small dick. Why were you telling him, okay, number Number one, why were you telling you me he was a piece of shit? He's done this thing for you. He's acted out this scene. Well, he started criticizing Ghostbusters. He started with the two

patched thing and then he was sort of like the first one really. He's uneven and it jumps around. It goes, the pace is all wrong. If you're not already worshipping Bill Murray, it's not a good movie. Okay, so then you say you're a piece of shit. You shouldn't be criticized it. You know, it's so hard to make a movie. And then he says you have a small dick.

Has he seen it because you are aroused at this point you've taken it out or took it out and you were you were you were manipulating it or what what exactly were you took it out and it was i said the performance is so good you've got me turned on he said no way i said take a look you took it out to show him that's right he sees that you have and this is you admitting that's right and i was like and this because you're such a good actor i said you could have been in ghostbuster he said who cares the movie sucks that's not what i was saying you're admitting i'm saying you're admitting that you have a small penis that's right oh no yes okay I absolutely do. How small?

You know, subjective, of course. You want inches. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying what's the general feeling of how small it is. Oh. Yeah, I mean, from, you know, tip. I don't know the conversion from metric to America. I think it's about three. Three inches.

Oh, okay, okay. I mean, that's, you know. Fully engorged. It's respectable. How about when it's flaccid? Half. Four inches. Wouldn't that be something?

Would that be something? I get erected. The man with the magic shrinking penis. Well, this, I mean, look, this is an incredible story. Now, I know you wanted to say something about your tours that you get. Well, just that's what I do, you know, so I'm here to promote them. Okay. So if you're on the island of Grumbledham, come on look me up.

I'll give you a tour. And is there any other kind of reason a tourist would go to Grumbledham or? Tell you, the hills, it's beautiful. There's hills everywhere, though. Okay, well, it's a beautiful, you know, people go to Ireland to see. the majesty of nature, you know, and it's a lovely, it's a lovely island. You love it, Scott. What about leprechauns?

Do you ever see one of those? Sure, many times. Okay, that's a separate thing to talk about. You brought it up? I know I brought it up. It's very cold. Everyone in Ireland's seen lepracons. Have you ever, like, gotten to the end of the rainbow and got the lot of gold and all that?

Well, I've seen it. I haven't got my own. It's rude. It belongs to them. Yeah, yeah. You're not supposed to take it. I thought that if you got to the end of the rainbow, you earned it. Yeah, you earned it.

That's what I taught. But they were just like. That's the first, it's like a taskmaster. It's all these things you got to do after you get there. I guess it's sort of like breaking into someone's house going like, I earned it. Let me have all your stuff. Exactly. Yeah.

So they're sort of like, well, no, it's still ours. Are there ghosts of leprocons? Yes, there are, yeah. Of course. Wow. Well, that's that. Yeah, that's cool. Can you think, I mean, there must be ghosts of everything, like a vampire.

Anything living. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, oh, ghost cat. A ghost cat. A ghost cat. Yeah. The animal's meant to be ghosts like cockroaches.

Oh, yeah. Every animal's a ghost of ghosts. flies, yes, mosquitoes. Sure, but most of them move on.

They move on to what, mosquito heaven or? Sure, yeah, to go to them, yeah, is heaven segregated

by species? Segregated by species, that's right. Yeah. So there's a lot of, a lot of heavens. So I bet there's a man heaven and a woman heaven.

You know what I mean? I bet. I bet there is. I bet there is. There's certainly like, it seems like you would know because you talk to ghosts. Well,

I only see when they're here, you know, we don't know. Even they don't know. They don't know because they haven't moved on yet. That's great. Then why was this one ghost who reenacted this pivotal scene from Ghostbusters saying that he could relay information to you from beyond? He talked to other other ghosts of relatives of mine who hadn't moved on.

I see. I understand. So my mother, for example, who died and I was just a young boy. How young? 32. I thought you're about to say 13. 32. I mean, 32, you're old enough.

It's a tragedy. Don't get you wrong. Of course. Yes. You're old enough to be able to process it. She wasn't great, to be honest. Okay, really. But sure, still, she shouldn't.

Why was she not great? Would she criticize Ghostbusters? Yes, that's right. She would sort of be like, you're a no-it-all, you know, and I'd be like, you know what? I think you're not great. Yeah, you're a piece of shit. Would she say you have a small penis? She did.

Yeah. Which I feel was her purview, you know, as my mother. She's the one who created it. That's right. I said, hey, it's her fault. That's right. You know, you're, thanks a lot. You think there are exercises that a mother could do to make a child's penis bigger?

I imagine, yes. You know, like just stretch it out every morning. Maybe even just sort of... Yeah. Could be on the ice. Couldn't hurt, right? It's interesting to think of how many people in the world there are and how we would never have an answer to this question because of...

I take with enough ultrasounds and sort of kegles, you could maneuver the fetus within you to sort of stretch. Yeah, stretch it out before the birth. Yeah, that's interesting. Like, there must be some sort of like spirit gum or something. you could stick it to one side of the uterus and then like, you know what I mean? Isn't that oddly named?

Isn't that funny? Spirit cum and you're a guy who's a ghost expert. It's got nothing to do with ghosts. Yeah. Although, you know, would I mind seeing a ghost with a big beard attached to his face? It'd be hilarious. Yeah.

Ghosts are very funny. Yeah? What's the funniest thing that you've ever seen a ghost do? You want me just to immediately come up with the number one? Come up with? What do you mean? I mean, you had to have ranked to this probably. Of course.

No, in your life. Yes. easy for me to tell you the funniest thing I ever saw Ghost do the Mary Tyler Moore funeral scene with the clown The reenactment of this? Yeah, these guys are huge pop culture fans

And I'd never seen the episode But when I saw them do it I've seen that part though on clips Is that right? You get the gist That's all I've seen is the ghost doing it You know what we're talking about Eugene The Mary Tyler Moore

Clown Funeral She just starts laughing at it And they can't get through the funeral without laughing it, how ridiculous it is. And then when they, the, the preacher or whoever is running this, uh, whoever finally says like, okay, let it out. Go ahead and laugh. Then she bursts into tears because it's so sad.

Isn't that, isn't that funny? Doesn't comedy play on expectations? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds very funny.

That's was the funniest thing I saw one do. Yeah. Oh, and I saw a really funny, even better. I was midfart and a ghost emerged. What do you mean your mid fart? How long are your fart? This was a long one. Every fart has a mid.

It's, you know, whether it's, you know, whether it's 0.5 seconds or two seconds. The fact that something is able to occur in the middle of one of your farts. Well, I was holding it for a while, so I was... I don't care. Well, this meant I was very conscious of when it started. I'm interested. I was in a tour and I was holding in a big fart. And I said, oh, I just get to the end, you know, and fart in private.

I was like, oh, I can't anymore. Maybe to be quiet, you know, hope maybe won't be. so much and I sort of like I just tried to quick push through it and I started the fart and it was tremendous at least 10 seconds long just a fluttery sort of thing and mid mid

fart a ghost showed up and said I'll have what he's laughing I thought that was so funny I mean it's not a bad thing to say after if you're a ghost or not it was great it's pretty funny and then he left then he left okay never do you see you again but anyway but they must have gotten

thrill on that tour to see something like that. It's like a whale watch. You know, you go on a hope to see it ghost. You just hope to. But you don't know. But they did. They saw one make fun of me fart and boy did he. Incredible. Well, Devin Green. Green Glove. Green Glove. Green Glove. I'm so sorry. It's Devin Green Glove. Oh. I said it wrong. Green Glove. Your name is Devin Green Glove. My name is Devin Green Glove. We're a way to go out on this interview. Sorry to be correcting me about the name that you gave me. Yes, that's my fault. I'm sorry. All right, Devin Green Glove, wonderful to have you here. Can you stick around?

Sure. Does that upset you? Does it upset me? Yes. I'm not upset about anything. I don't give a shit whether you live or die. Okay, now hold on. You're not like my friend Eugene.

I just met you. Sure, okay, I get that. Eugene, you know, we were talking about this situation. Yeah, we have a relationship. Your peers. I don't give one shit about two fucks about you. Okay, I get that. That makes sense.

Well, I'm glad I haven't upset you. Okay, good. But it's Devin Green Glove and it's my fortune. I'm so sorry. All right. Well, I'm glad we cleared that up, right on the dismount. Devin Green Glove, it's wonderful to have you on. Can you stick around? Sure, I've got nothing to do. We have a bird coming up.

Is that something? Yep. Let's, uh, we're going to be right back with more Eugene Merman, more Devin Green Glove. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang Bang! We're back, Eugene Merman is here. Here comes The Whimsie is the special available for one and all. On YouTube.com.

Is there a specific URL for it or? I'm sure there is, but I don't know the URL. Does that like percentages in it? If you go to pretty good friends, which is our record label that's where. Look, I didn't have any trouble. I just put it in, here comes the whimsy. Yeah, there's probably not a ton of it. It's not like, oh, is it Eugene's or the Aerosmith album?

Like, which one of these two Massachusetts things? Oh, that's right. They're from Boston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As are you. Me and them, and that's it.

Yep. No one else. No one else. We also have Devin Green Glove, who's here, a ghost expert. Hello. And are there any ghosts around here? I don't see any right now, but I'll let you know. All right, let us know.

We need to get to our next guest. This is a returning guest, been on the show before. He is a Seagull. Please welcome Louis Pentano. Oh, my God, Scott. Thank you so much for having me back. I am desperate. Thank you.

Yes, it's so good to see you. You are, of course, a Seagull that we have talked to once before. A couple of times, I think. A couple of times. You inspired the T-shirt that we've sold, starring your likeness. Yeah. I guess a T-shirt, you're not starring in a T-shirt. I mean, I'm on the T-shirt.

Yeah, but, and what does it say on it? Something with French fries and choking on them or something. I don't know. It was my big break. It's like my back. This is the way I like to snack. Is that what it is? Something like that, Scott.

A limited edition T-shirt, but you're back now. Yes. This is Eugene, by the way. Hello, Devin. Nice to me. How are you? Oh, no. This is going to be a tug of war of accents.

I can feel myself already being pulled. You're slipping into this one? Yeah, give me five minutes. Mine tends to go away and make room for yours. It's okay. Okay, just say something Boston specific. Like, how do you like them apples? The law was very formal in that regard.

There you go. All right, I'm locked back in. You're in. It's so great to see you, Louie. Thank you. What's going on in the Seagull trade these days? Well, as you know, I've been trying to make it in show business for quite some time. That's right.

You, what were you in? Eugene's been in one and a half movies. What have you been in so far? I've been flying through the studio of Dancing with the Stars. I've just really kind of swooping in trying to get my name out there. And this is unsanctioned by Dancing with the Stars. No, they don't like it. They might even say we have a Seagull problem somehow in the studio.

They might say that. You should ask them. Scott, my family, last time I went home, they said you have to make it big or you have to move home. No. Are they footing the bill? No pun. intended because birds have bills. Yes, and feet. I guess it's a double pun. Yes. So this is my Hail Mary. You're my biggest show business friend. I'm going to try to. Well, you know, Eugene

Merman is here. Yeah. And if I were to crash into a toll booth in a fiery thing, I don't think I would get a TMZ article about me. I think you would. I think you'd be surprised how interested they are in any. I'm not only would make national news for several days, though. I think mine didn't for several days because it took people a few days to realize that I was in the car. I think people would care, Scott. Yeah, they would really care. I'm not saying people would care. We should. Here's, and I know the sensibly, but try it.

Yeah. Can you give me some tips? Yeah, yeah. That's the one thing I can't do. I'd be like, I guess drive quickly. But I guess what I'm saying is Eugene has more pull than I. I mean, he's on a show currently. Right.

Oh, I could be your understudy. Are they looking for a gene understudy? study? I don't know because of how I'm not, I don't hire. Here's my audition. I'm not part of the casting. But I, but I'll definitely say, hey, I met a really great seagull that if we need a seagull that's from Boston, you know, show with a. Your gene? Are you gene? Okay, I could do Gene. Yeah, let's see it. This is me now. I would say pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good. And that's your catchphrase on the show. I think I said it in one episode.

but certainly people appreciate it and say it a lot. So I think that's a good. Why don't you throw it in a couple more times so it could be like dough or whatever, you know? Okay. Who says that? It is part of the Simpsons, Homer Simpson. I'm not familiar. Scott.

I haven't seen that one? I haven't flown by a television when that's playing? No, not yet. I think I should reboot something. I think that's very popular. Ryan Coogler is rebooting the X-Files. Great. What other reboots are going on these days?

That's about all I can think of. Right, but what if I bring something back that people are maybe missing? Like Night Rider, but it's like a bird in a car? Yes, exactly. Or a man in a bird. Or, oh my God. Well, yeah, a man, like a tiny man riding a bird. Yeah, right.

That's like super helpful. Yeah, that talks and has like a computer voice. Yeah, like AI glasses. Why not? And it can hack anything. Yeah, some of those rayband, meta raybans maybe, yeah. Both of you were wearing them. And the show's called Cool Go.

Yeah. Cool goal. Oh, my God. Somebody write that down. do Spencer for hire said in Boston. There you go. Yes. Yeah. You just need a tough bird friend. That was a show that primarily concerned it with people hiring a guy named Spencer. Is that right? Probably to solve things. Yeah. Oh, hey, you're still here. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Hey, How's it going, Devin? Yeah. I would, yeah. Um, yeah, Spencer Friar, have you ever seen this?

No, I'm not familiar. Robert's Urick, is that right? That's right. Yeah. Wasn't he on Vegas? He wasn't, yeah, yeah. That's right. television show with the No, I meant on the city. Oh. No, I mean, he may have been in it at a certain point, but yeah. I was thinking more like I could be the next Ethan Hunt. Oh, Mission Impossible.

Yeah, they finished that up, right? I could jump out of an airplane. I mean, they were calling it final impossible or whatever, but I bet it's a lie. I bet they do more. Oh, okay. Well, so maybe not that one. Oh, I don't mean, but no. No, no, I got a long list.

Maybe you do a lot, Jason Borden reboot, but it's like airborne. Or air bud. Airbud, but it's a seagull. And they pass me the ball and I explode into feathers. And there's nothing in the rulebook that says you can't do that. Yeah, that a seagull can't play basketball. Yeah. Or maybe your beak punctures the ball and it deflates and everyone's like, no, don't insult me. I don't want to be in an animal movie. I'm sorry. I don't want them to give me peanut butter or whatever to make my mouth move from my lines that someone else records.

To be fair, I have been giving you peanut butter this entire episode so far. It's so good. Do you want to be seen as a human? Do you identify as human? Yes, I can play a human. No problem. Yeah. What they can do with CGI and makeup and special effects these days, right?

I'm going to keep going down my list of reboots. Okay, what are we going to do? Well, this one feels a little insensitive to do in front of Eugene. Okay. It's the Phantom Toll booth. I was thinking of the Phantom Tollbooth. Yeah. Yeah.

Remember that movie? Yeah, you could be like, you call it also the Phantom Tollbooth. Yeah. The Phantom Toolbooth. Tool booth. Yeah. What about the Phantom toolbox? I feel like we're getting far away from the content of the original thing.

What about just regular toolbox? Then what are we talking about, Scott? Come on. I don't know. This is serious, Scott. I have to move back home if I don't get this. I'm sorry. This is serious.

You don't want to move back home because it's a crowded nest or? Yeah, well, yeah, I don't. To go back to just, like, terrorizing people on Cape Cod for their French fries. Are singles in nests, by the way, or do they just fly around until they... They just fly around trying to get your sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we do more than that.

Sorry. We try to also get, like... Yeah, we don't mean to be reductive. Yeah, yeah. What if you got on a sort of reality show, you know? Maybe like a voice. Oh, oh my gosh. Would you guys turn your chairs around for me?

Sure. I mean, we could re-ed active right here or just... Oh, yeah. Or, yeah. Yeah, let's turn our chairs around. Eugene, okay. And Devin, yeah, go ahead. Turn your chair.

You got a chore. All right, what should I sing? Goodness. Yeah, do you have a karaoke staple or anything like that that you like to sing? I've heard that you've settled down that you've. No one's moving. Found a girl. Maybe they can't hear me.

That you're married. They're not moving. They're not moving. Are your chairs stuck? Can I help you on stinky chairs? I know. Look, I just realized something. I don't know.

The rules of the voice. Yeah. And I definitely at first decided that what we were doing was the mass singer. But then I was like, well, it's not the mass singer because that's a person you don't know who they are. And all we know is who this is. You don't, there's not an added level of we're going to turn our chairs around so we don't guess who this is. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

Thank goodness. So why do people on the voice turn? their chairs around. Because they don't want to be confused by if this person has a marketable look. They just want to hear the voice first. And then if they're interested in coaching the person, they turn their chair. They hit a button. Their chair swings around.

And they then own that person in terms of, I mean, not, you know, not in a bad way. No, they own them. They own them, yeah. I got distracted. I turned around. I got lost. Lost in your wallpaper. Yeah.

Do you see it? Is there a ghost or anything that you saw? I don't think so, but it's just so. It's so long. There's any ghosts. Hanging around my place. I don't know. They must all have finished their business and moved on.

I'm going to be honest, Scott. My confidence got eviscerated watching three people not move their chairs. I would have turned my chair around if I knew, if I knew any of the rules. I just did what I was told. And what I was told to do is turn my chair around. It was cold when I was never told as what happens after. So you, so you like her. I enjoyed, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it. You enjoy Louis singing. And you would like to come. Well, I can't coach, but I would have turned my chair around in the spirit of affirmation. In the spirit of the voice, he would have turned. I should have sung something from the Phantom Tollbooth or an Irish song. Maybe if I had done an Irish song, you would have done that. I was distracted.

It sounded great. Oh, my God. No, no, don't feel bad. I was not distracted. I was locked in. Yeah, do you know any saw doctors? No. Oh, my God.

This is humiliating. Forget it, Scott. I was going to suggest a lot more reboots, but I just, I think you're right. I know, I think you need a peptones. talk here because I think you're very charismatic Louis and I think you know it's just your parents are being hard on you. No I'm packing my bindle I'm going. Don't pack your bindle. Don't pack your bindle. Here I go. Packing my

bindle. You need determination in this business. I mean Eugene you can speak to this right? I think you just all you got to do is you don't stop. You just keep moving forward just a little bit each day. How old were you when you made it big? 51. Okay I'm eight years

older than that. When you found out he was on TMZ Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You're 59 years old? Yeah. Oh. In seagull years or? Incredible. In human years.

In human years. In seagull years. How old do seagulls live to like one or two hundred years? Yeah. We're like tortoises in that way. That's white or so many, I guess. Yeah. Have you ever seen a seagull ghost before?

I have you. Sure. Many time. Oh, my gosh. And there is a seagull heaven. There is, yes, that's right. Every animal, its own heaven. Camel heaven.

It seems like there's not a lot of room up there then. That must be crowded. You know, sort of sectioned off. Well, especially for like fly heaven and mosquito heaven, they live such short lives. There must have been so many over the years. But maybe when you're up in heaven, you're not taking up space. Everyone's passing between each other. Or you're so blist out, you don't need a ton of space.

Yeah. It's sort of like New York. Oh, wow. The city is so deciding I can live in a 300 square foot apartment or something. Do you think mosquito heaven is someone else's hell? That's a good point. Do you think they double up to save some space? Yeah.

That's right. So yeah, mosquito heavens, all the people are there who, like, Hitler's... Or it's cow hell. Yeah. For bad cows. But don't they love swatting flies? I don't know. That must be sad as well.

But cow heaven could be like a vegetarian's hell. Right, so you're a vegetarian. Although I guess in cow heaven they're not being eaten. Yeah. That's the only thing we know. How do we know they don't like it? How do we know they don't like it? Cows who love being eaten, that's their heaven.

with, not with, let's see, vegetarian people trying to eat them. No wait, okay. No, this works. This works, okay. Yeah, vegetarians who don't want to eat meat

and cows who don't like to be eating. Being forced at like gunpoint, but who are the people with the guns? Is that heaven for murderers? That's a good guy with a gun. Oh, the good guy with a gun. That's where they go. Yeah.

So you go to cow heaven. You've got to make the vegetarians. What if I reboot Top Gun? Oh, I love it. This is great. And I'm the plane. Yes. And Tom Cruise is riding you.

Who? In Russia, Tom Cruise rides you. I don't know who that is, Scott. Oh, my God. I love him. You'd love him. Wait, you know Ethan Hunt. Yeah, of course.

Okay, it's the guy who plays Ethan Hunt. I can't picture his face. Maybe a Jerry Maguire reboot. Oh, show me. That's not that, is it? That is actually, you're right. Depends on what you're about. about to say. If it's your tits?

Yeah, show me your tits. Something entirely different. And if it's your, show me your small weiner, it's the ghost talking to me. But if it's the money, oh yeah, show me the money. That's Jerry McGuire. That's the plot of that. It's just a guy who wants people to show him money. And then eventually someone shows the money and he's like, thank you. Good night. Simultaneous good night on comedy banged. And a huh, that's crazy. Wow. Oh my God. That's wild. I think you should just keep going.

I mean, persistence is what this business is all about. Show bitterness is so humiliating, Scott. I can't do another minute of this. I don't know. Well, then it sounds like it's your decision to quit. No, I don't want to quit. I want to be famous. I want to be rich.

Well, those are two different things. Because Seagulls get a bad rep. People don't like us. That's true. You're the villains in things like Puff and Rock and a lot of children's cartoons. Or also, if you're reading a book about disease, you don't come out good.

Yeah. But I mean, in Little Mermaid, you, you're one of the fun characters. Yeah, what's that guy's name? Who does that voice? I don't know. Who does the voice? Yeah, who does the voice? It's, um, what's the, what's the fucking Seagull's name?

What else has he done? Do you want me to look this up? Yeah, look him up. He's like an old Hollywood guy. Dom Delo. He's sort of got a Dom Deloese's life. Excuse me. Who does the voice to the, Excuse me.

Funny C. I don't want to bother my internet. To the funny seagull in a movie called The Little Mermaid. Oh my God. I don't remember. Aquafina. That's the new one. That's the reboot.

Buddy Hackett! Shippoo-ee! Yes. Shapoo-Poo-Pee. The girl is hard to get. You see, this is what messed me up as I was in the Music Man in high school. That was my senior show. And it gave me the confidence.

Did you play? Um, I, uh, what's the, one of the trombones. Scott, I, uh, sequels can play men. I did the entire opening number to that show completely by myself. You're insulted to the, do you talk. What do you talk? What do you talk? Where do you get it? I did that completely by myself. How dare you, Scott? Here go.

That's a song between like 20 salesmen. Yeah, you think I can't do it. You think I can't do that number right now completely by myself. All right. Go ahead. Charlie, you're an Anvil salesman. Your firm give credit. You're going to regret. this. No, sir, nor anybody else. Cash for the merchandise. Cash for the button hooks. Cash for the cotton goods. Cash for the hard goods. Cash for the soft goods. Cash for the fancy goods. Cash for the noggins and the pickings and the furkins. Cash and Demicon. Cash for the pickles and the something in the fly paper. Look, what do you talk? What do you talk? What do you talk? Where do you get it?

I'm going to go faster. You can talk, you can talk, you can talk. You can bicker. You can talk. You can talk, you can talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, picker, picker, picker, you can talk all you want it, but it's different than it was. No, it ain't, but you got to know the territory. Chish-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. Why, you need a biscuit with trouble. You need it, you need to put a cracker in the package in the package. You need a biscuit, an air-tight, sent enter,

To make the cracker-brow. Absolutely, obsolete, obsolete, obsolete, absolutely, absolutely, obsolete, Crackerel went out the window with a mail-tress. Change the approach of a chavent, made it pretty hard. No, it didn't, no, it didn't, but you got to know the territory. Gone, gone, gone with the hogshead, casket, Demijohn, gone with the prick-pillar, frivolous, gone with the pub and the veil and the years.

Ever meet a fellow by the name of Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill, just a minute, just a minute, never heard of any salesman Hill, no, he doesn't know the territory, doesn't know the territory, what's the fellow's lie, never worries about his lie, never worries about his lie, never the crackerle bean up saline, or the you need a biscuit in an airtight, sanitary package, or the Model T4, just a minute, just a minute, just a minute, just a minute, never worry about his lie, never worry about his lie, doggone thing, he's just a banged bell ring and bake,

the ripboard never the ripboard salesman that's not hold on hold on i got it tell us what's his lie he's a fake and he doesn't know the territory look what do you talk what do you talk you can get it he's a music man he's a what he's a what he's a what he's a music man and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town with a big trombone and ratatette drums and the big brass bass bass big brass base big brass bakes in the piccolo the picelho uniforms too with a shiny gold braid on the coat in the big red stripe well i don't know much about bands but i do know you can't make a live in some big trombones no sir mandolin picks perhaps and hear in air juice harp no all the fell sells bands, boys bands.

I don't know how he does it, but he lives like a king, and he delies, and he glories, and he plucks and he shines. And when the man dances, certainly, boys, what else? The piper pays him, yes, sir, yes, sir.

But he doesn't know the territory. Wow. Oh, my God. I skipped a big part. There were only a few somethings and this-iz-iz. Yeah. I mean, I think it's clear that what the reboot should be is you should do a one-sego version of Hamilton.

Yes. I'd be incredible. Yeah. The orphanage. That was incredible. It was amazing. I skipped a big part in the middle. Not from my point of view.

Good editing because I didn't miss it. In your opinion, did the music man was part of the con was he provides the uniforms? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And the whole band. But then he ends up doing it and he falls in love with the librarian.

Well, sure. We know the plot. I just, that's one sticking point. That was incredible. I look, I can see why you got the bug. Again, no pun intended, because I'm sure you've swallowed bugs when you're flying around. But. All right.

Yeah. I've sent some mosquitoes to mosquito heaven, I guess. I would imagine if I were to drive around without a windshield, I would be swallowing bugs all the time. So it's not, I mean, it's... I almost just passed out when I was doing that. I'm going to be honest with you. It seems like a lot. I started seeing white at the edge of my vision.

Really? Yeah. Maybe, Eugene, is this what you were doing in the car? car. Oh my God, Eugene. You cannot be doing that in the car. The last thing I remember is eating marmalade and singing the music man, a thing I've never heard. And so I was like, how is it possible that I know this? You cannot drive and do a patter song at the same time. That is too dangerous. We don't have the breath for it. And that's my big takeaway. Yeah, that was impressive. I got to say, I think you have it. And quite honestly, we need to find a place for you in showbiz because. No, my brain is uniquely

broken. This is not good. You're convinced me. I think now, next time I see a musical, I hope it's one person. I think dividing it up over lots of people's cheating. Yeah. Like, I've seen musicals with like little kids where they give one part to two kids and they simultaneously say every one. Who cares?

Let them, you know, let me see one girl do all of Annie. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Is that your dream to do Miss Hannigan, Annie? Rooster? Oh, my God. Father Warbucks.

Oh, Father Warbucks. What to me. Yeah. Respect. He's a priest in the Irish version of Annie He's not a billionaire magnet The original version's Irish And it's a lot of Catholic priest

Sort of dated badly He got taken out And Annie's a nun? Annie's a nun Yep Father Warbucks He's a priest who adopts a nun I'd see it honestly

She inspires the queen Yeah oh my gosh Wow I love the Irish version of Annie I love the Irish version Of all the musicals Yeah And she has red hair

So that you know fits great Yeah And no one in Ireland before 1960 had pupils. So that fit great for the time. Well, I mean, look, Louie, you got the, you got the goods. Your parents are wrong.

No, they're right. No. I see now that they're right. We've seen it right before our very eyes. You're a star. You're a star. There's absolutely no market for a person that can do the entire opening number. I wouldn't say no.

You're a bird. You're not a person. There is a market for a bird that can do it. Yeah. The mere fact that you're a bird and you're talking to us right now. Yeah. I mean. That alone.

You just need, yeah, you can tour as a stand-up. Yeah. What you need is representation. A good manager believes in you. Are you, are you? I mean, I'm a bit of an administrator, so. I could get you booked at Grumbledon. Oh my God.

You think I could do ghost chores in Grumbledon? Well, I'd love to. Yeah. What about acting? Yeah. I was thinking we get you in a play. You downgraded yourself to just tour guy? I'd put you in a musical, but sure, you can help me run.

Ghost tours. Yeah, I think I could do that. It would be easier for me to teach you. I mean, this is part of the problem. You don't have the confidence to say, like, I want to be an actor. You're already just saying I'll be a tour guide. That seems like the most important thing that he was talking about earlier, was how he was a tour guy.

That is my thing, but if you come out of way to grumble to my, I'll get you at show. You've got a great theater. Yeah, you could do the Edinburgh Fringe Fest or something, you know. And then you could be on all those sort of British kind of game shows. Oh, like what I lied to you? Yeah, exactly. You could be on taskmaster. You'd be great on those. Yeah, what I lie to you where you tell stories about being a bird.

I mean, who knows if you're lying or not? Oh, yeah, David and Lee Matt, like, I feel like I could really hang with those guys. What's the 10 cats one and countdown or something like that? Yeah. 10 beats countdown. Yes. A bird from Boston on a British panel show. They'd love it.

They'd love it. Yeah. All right. You know what? I'm going to give it one more shot, Scott. One more shot. And if it doesn't work. I have a.

I hope that I did book you to run one tour just now. Already? Just when you said you'd do it. So you had to stop by Gromaldom and just do one tour. I got booked. I got booked. You got booked. You got booked.

You got booked. Oh my God. I would like to thank God, obviously. I'd like to thank my parents for not believing in me. It'll really help my business for people come to see ghosts. It's like, not only that a talking bird is going to walk you through it. Yeah. Yeah.

I would see that. That's amazing. Well, congratulations. You booked? Yes. And Scott, next time I see you, I will have an Emmy. I, okay. One of your own?

Oh, no, I'll still. Not just a plaque that says thank you for contributing to this Emmy. Well, guys, we are running out of time. We only have time, really, for one final feature on the show.

Yeah. And, I mean, that's the newest thing you have out there. Sure, you could go and investigate all of Eugene's career. Sure. But that's... Yeah, feel free to listen to other stand-up of mine. Yeah, you'll probably be interested after you watch. Here Comes the Wimsy.

Exactly. And then Bob's Burgers is still on Sundays on Fox. Yeah, I think it's back, yeah, the spring, meaning it started back up. New episodes back up again. Great. And how far ahead are you? Are you like two years in the future you've already recorded? I think we generally are working on the following the next year.

So I think that, yeah, it takes probably about a year to make an episode or something like that. Such a good show. And we're glad you're here. And let's move on to Devin Greenlove. Delo. What do you want to plug? Well, I love to plug me ghost tours. If you have Grumbledum, far west of Ireland, please look up Devin Green Glove for me, tours.

And there's got to be a better way to direct people to your business. Look up Devin Green Glove? Once you get there? Like there's got to be like, you know. Look up my name and then see if people have talked about me and hopefully they'll have a link. I don't have a website. I'm just saying like before people plan to already go there.

If you're already there. Maybe they could buy tickets in it. I don't give a shit. You go ahead. And then also got to, let's see. Oh, how about a podcast? Screw it. We're just going to talk about the Beatles hosted by Will Hines and some others.

which is exactly as you'd expect people talking about the Beatles mostly saying they were good I believe I was just on this show recently. You were just on, I heard your episode where you talked about seeing Paul McCartney and you were great on it. Thank you. There is a compliment

that I was going to thank you for. So yeah, we got cool stuff like, they got cool stuff like that. What did you say your favorite Beatles song was? Oh, do you have one? That never came up actually. No, what's your favorite? It's definitely not the one

that the Beatles cover band would start their sets with when I worked at Cafe Cordial back in the 90s. This happened once before. This is my least favorite because that would tell me, oh boy, I'm in for the long haul. I don't know. I'll have to get back to those particular people on their own show. Can't wait to hear about it. And Louis, Pentato, what are you plugging? Obviously, check me out in the ghost tour.

I just received word that I get to be the floating juice tray that we use to trick the tourists. Hey, what, sorry. That's a private text just to me and you, Louis. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't you worry about it. This Patty Greenleel. The floating juice tray is fake? No, not always.

No, no, no. Not always? No, they get a bird to carry it, so it's not fake. Oh, no, under you perk up when we said there'd be a bird on the show. No, no, sometimes. I'd also like to plug, hey, Riddle Riddle. It's a riddle podcast. If you're interested in that sort of thing.

I have not recovered from doing that opening. I genuinely feel lightheaded. Take it easy. We'll get you some juice. Don't worry. My heart beating in my chin, which has never happened to me before. Well, I want to plug, hey, the Comedy Bang Bang Tour starts a week from today. Sounds great.

If you can imagine, it starts May 25 in Toronto. And then we continue around the Midwest for a couple of weeks. St. Paul, Madison, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Royal, Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City. And then we go to the south, Atlanta, Nashville, Charleston, Durham. And then we go back east, Washington, D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Fairfield, Connecticut, Portland, Maine. And then we're going to the UK, if you can believe it, and Ireland. And then we go to the West Coast, and then we go to the Southwest.

And then, boy, howdy, we're in Los Angeles by September 19th. The 19th show just went on sale on Friday, so tickets are probably still on sale for that. That one has Hey Randy, the Hey Randy podcast with Randy Snuts opening for us. And these are all going to be a really good time. It's Paul Lof Tompkins myself and a rotating cast of the Comedy Bang Bang All Stars. We're going to all be out there entertaining America and beyond. So I hope you come out and see us. Tickets are available over at CBBWorld.com slash tour.

It's really good stuff over there. All right, let's close up the old plug bag. Speaking of Eric, Chats, sweet chat. Sweet, we chat. Sweet chat. Kiss sweet chat's ass. We, sweet chat's ass.

We kiss sweet chat's ass. Wow. How crazy that you mention arrows. This is like are our computers listening to us and making plug themes? I don't know, but you mentioned arrows. Yeah. That was Sweet Chat Emotion by Burn Swee. Thank you to Burnswee.

And speaking and thank you, thanks to all of my guests. Eugene, so glad you're still with us and so glad that I could see you one last time. This concludes our friendship. It was fun. It was really a pleasure. Wonderful to have you on the show. And Devin Greenlove. Hello.

What can one say about Devin Green Love? Yeah, great, was that interesting or not? I mean, be honest. The fact that you're cheating the people who take your tours and having a floating. Not always true. 90% of the time the tray is. At least. At least. I think it's impressive that you can train birds to carry a tray.

Thank you. Other than the birds that are obviously centered enough to do it on their own. I got fired. Devin already fired me over the text. What? Louis. Louis Pintano, thanks for being here. What happened? How did Devin already fire you?

I just lost my dream job because I'm apparently you're not supposed to tell company secrets. Oh, you broke the NDA? I did. That's right. no. I hate to do it. So sorry. I'm so sorry. I guess are your dreams of show business dashed? Yeah, back to square one. I'm just going to... You can't even say square one. I can't even say, I genuinely am never doing that again. In your life? In my life, that took years off my life. I don't know. I think if you ever pop up on the comedy bang bang tour, it may be a request.

Oh God, oh no. I have to start working out for that. Jesus Christ. All right. We'll see you next time. Thanks. Bye.
