I'm spying on you.
Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.
Thank you to Wool the Clown for that catchphrase submission.
Wool the Clown, nice to know that you're spying on us.
I believe that's a first time catchphrase submitor.
Thanks to Wool the Clown and welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition.
My name is Scott Aukerman.
We have an incredibly wonderful show.
Can something be incredibly wonderful?
There are degrees of wonderfulness.
Okay, I guess something can be mildly wonderful.
I don't know.
Only happy, happy, incredible.
Happy, incredible.
Yeah. Okay, good.
I don't know if you would go like,
oh, that's sadly incredible.
That's lethargically incredible.
Yeah, you wouldn't hear that.
Well, we do have a wonderfully incredible show
coming up a little later.
In addition to The Voice that you just heard,
we have a team building expert.
We also have a photographer will be on the show.
So that is, this is a really good show.
And I'm sure that you recognized the dulcet tones
of the person who was speaking at my 10 o' sure that you recognized the dulcet tones of the person who was speaking
at my 10 o'clock right now.
The nasally dulcet tones.
Would you consider yourself to be nasal?
Do you know I always had a lot of insecurity
about my voice growing up.
Really? Yeah.
I kind of was like nose and body growing up.
What do you mean by that?
Large, large nose, small body.
Small body.
So your nose to body ratio.
Yeah, I had a lot of nose.
Was off kilter.
Yeah. Okay.
But I had like allergies and asthma
and I was always stuffed up.
And so I always feel like I sounded really nasally.
You say this as a kid you were?
Yeah.
Because now you have said on this show previously
and I'll introduce you in a second.
Have I said this already?
That you do not remember anything pre-13 years old.
Oh yeah, well this is like middle school
where things locked in.
Okay, okay.
But like sixth grade down, yes, still is a blur.
Sixth grade down.
So in the sixth grade you looked in the mirror
and one of your first memories is?
Nose.
No.
So you had a thing about your voice
and then you chose to get into your profession, which-
You know what I will say?
There was a voice coach that I went to in high school.
Was it high school?
It was high school.
But this guy said, he says,
ah, you don't have any resonance.
You don't have any resonance.
And it's amazing how that shit sticks.
Right.
Like I was like, and I haven't forgotten that.
And then I had an insecurity about that.
Like I gotta find resonance.
I gotta find resonance. And what a strange thing to say to a- I didn't even know what it meant. 14 year was like, and I haven't forgotten that. And then I had an insecurity about that. Like, I gotta find resonance. I gotta find resonance.
And what a strange thing to say to a-
I didn't even know what it meant then.
14 year old boy, yeah.
Yeah.
What does it even mean?
I think it just, the sound is, oh man.
The voice teachers are shooting themselves across the-
I think it's like the echo chamber of your body
is more full with a resonance.
You know, like a James Earl Jones or something like,
like a really, like it goes all over the body.
I mean, there's only one James Earl Jones.
What if this guy was like, he's no James Earl Jones.
Yeah, totally.
And like, unless it was James Earl Jones-like,
you wouldn't be satisfied.
Yeah, but you know, like when someone speaks
and it's like, whoa, that whole body speaks,
I think that's resonance.
And maybe only my nose spoke.
That's maybe that's my thing.
I don't know, but you sound great right now.
Aw, thanks, man.
You have a voice fit for podcasting,
and we're gonna talk about your podcast
called The Extraordinarians, which is out now.
He also has a movie called Sketch
coming out August 6th in the dark days of summer.
A way to beat the heat.
Yep.
We did, it took us like, my buddy Seth Worley directed it.
Oh yeah.
And it's, man, it took us like seven or eight years to make. And it's so great.
I can't wait for people to see it.
It's about, we kind of describe it like
Inside Out meets Jurassic Park.
It's a little girl dealing with grief and how-
Oh, okay.
We talked about this film on-
Oh, did we?
No, not you and I.
Oh, good.
Oh, thank God.
Seth and I talked about this film-
Wait, Seth's been on the show?
He's not been on this show.
He was on my companion podcast called Scott Hasn't Seen,
where we talked about the movie, September 5,
and he talked about this movie
and how it didn't have a distributor yet.
Yeah.
And it finally came out.
And I've heard it's incredible.
Not just from him, I've heard from other people.
Oh, man.
So she draws these pictures that are pretty horrific.
I play her dad.
And they magically come to life,
and it just deals with kind of dealing with big emotions
and grief and, uh, he just did a great job. So I'm excited for people to see it. Tony Hale is here. her dad, and they magically come to life, and it just deals with kind of dealing with big emotions
and grief and, ugh, he just did a great job.
So I'm excited for people to see it.
Tony Hale is here.
Guys, Tony Hale's here.
Hi, Tony, welcome back to the show.
Oh, thanks.
Great to have you back.
Thank you.
You were just on a mere months ago.
Yeah, and I didn't really remember much about it.
I really, I really, it does concern me, my memory.
Well, you live in the moment, I think.
Really? Okay.
Or maybe you're living in the future.
Or maybe I'm so checked out somewhere else
that I don't remember the moment,
and that kind of hurts the memory.
Or maybe our waking lives are just but a dream.
They are actually fleeting quickly.
Yes, too quickly for my taste.
I was thinking about, I was talking about this
with someone last night about,
I don't know, we were talking about somehow.
You sound fun.
Do I sound nasally?
No, you sound fun.
What if I heard nasally and you said fun,
and that's where the trauma started?
Well, we were talking about like some award show
years ago, something, I don't know how this came up,
but we were talking about how back then people thought like,
yeah, we're the shit, we're the shit.
They're dead.
They're dead and it's fleeting.
And how much energy and anxiety we give
to stuff that is fleeting.
There's only one guy I think whose work will live on
and that's Willy Shanks. Rocky.
Oh, Rocky. Oh, Rocky, Rocky Balboa is who you were thinking.
Well, yeah, I just saw the documentary.
Which documentary is this?
Balboa. It's called Balboa. Which documentary is this? Balboa.
It's called Balboa.
Yeah, it's Sylvester Stallone's,
I think it's called Balboa.
But in it I learned that that Balboa name
came from the valley, the street in the valley,
cause that's where he moved first when he came to LA
and that's where that came from.
And when he came to LA first,
he broke down on the highway, totally broke,
and Henry Winkler picked him up in the highway
and took it because they had done some movie previously.
It's a really good documentary.
I think that was the, I remember he was on the subway
or something like that. I'm sorry, Sly.
I should have called him Sly.
Oh yes, he's one of Hollywood, or Hollywood caretakers now.
I believe he's in charge of Hollywood along with Mel.
Oh, and Arnold.
No, not Arnold. No, not Arnold.
Oh, not Arnold.
It's Mel, John Voight, and Sly are now,
they've been put in charge of Hollywood.
Oh man, to be a Sly on that wall.
To be a Sly on this wall.
To be a Sly on that wall.
Tony, it's great to have you back.
Thank you for having me, I love it.
You're here to promote the Sylvester Stallone
Rocky documentary apparently. It am, it's weird.
I'm being paid a lot of money.
And, but you're here talking about the Extraordinarians,
which is a podcast.
You're now, you've now said,
now here's the comedy bang bang.
This is the ranking of guests that we like on the show.
Movie stars, number one.
Okay, not that.
Well, you have a movie.
Oh, I have a movie coming out, yeah.
What'd you say your-
I mean, I'm no sly, but I'm getting there.
So you've been in movies.
So I would say movie stars, number one.
People who've been in movies, number two.
That's maybe where you fall.
Yeah, yeah.
TV stars, number three.
Authors, maybe.
Comedians.
I don't like this hierarchy.
This should not be a hierarchy to this.
And then podcasters.
No.
And now you've slipped down from number two to now you're a podcaster.
What happened?
Podcasters are the voice of our generation.
They're the voice of the future.
Everybody listens to podcasts.
That's like the new end thing. Exactly. I'm joining late. Yeah, that's true. You're the future. Yes. Everybody listens to podcasts. That's like the new end thing.
Exactly.
I'm joining late.
Yeah, that's true.
You're the OG.
You're making all the cash.
Sure I am.
You're super late.
What about, I mean, almost too late.
Oh, should I cancel the show?
Your own show, not my show.
Do you have the power to cancel this show?
I can show, Sly Mel.
Tony.
We're getting on this.
John. Tell me about The Extraordinarians. What came up? What's the concept? How did it come about?
Give me the full 360 on this.
Okay. Thank you for asking.
Sure. About the full 360?
Yeah.
So seldomly are we asked.
Oh, we should have called it full 360. That's actually a pretty good title.
Missed opportunity. So Matt Oberberg, Christian Shaw. Oh, we should have called it Full 360. That's actually a pretty good title.
Missed opportunity. So Matt Oberg, Kristen Schaal,
well, Kristen Schaal and I did a show years ago
called Mysterious Benedict Society.
And she's-
Did you create that show?
No, it was based on a book.
That's right, yeah.
Did you write the book?
Oh, no.
God, just one thing after the next-
Have you ever written a book?
No, yes. Really, which book have you written? I wrote a children's. God, just one thing after the next. Have you ever written a book? No, yes.
Really, which book have you written?
I wrote a children's book called Archibald's Next Big Thing.
And I wrote it because when I booked Arrested Development,
I think I'm having a stroke on your show.
A best in derel of them.
A Dina Menzel.
When I booked Arrested Development,
all I wanted was a sitcom, it was my big thing,
and it didn't satisfy me the way I thought
it was gonna satisfy me, and it scared me.
Really?
Like the work was good.
Well, I think I just, I'd given getting a sitcom
way too much weight in my life.
Right.
Like I'm finally gonna be happy.
Yeah, and it's that whole thing,
if you're not practicing contentment where you are,
you're not gonna be content when you get what you want.
And so I called it art,
it's about this little chicken who gets this card
in the mail that's like, your big thing is here.
And he's like, where?
And he goes on all these adventures,
but every time he's on an adventure,
he's like, I gotta get to my next big thing.
And then this little bee comes around and goes,
you gotta just be man, you gotta just be.
And then in the end, he realized that the card is right,
your big thing is right here.
My big thing is talking to you guys right now.
That's my big thing.
I love that. I mean, yeah, thing is talking to you guys right now. That's my big thing.
I love that.
I mean, yeah, this is a wonderful podcast to be on.
So I appreciate that.
It's longevity, man.
That's incredible.
And is it a children's book or is it a long novel?
It's a, it's like a two, 300 page novel.
And it just keeps saying your big thing is here.
Will a religion be based on this book like Scientology or?
Oh my God, dreams are coming true today.
Um, I feel like being present is people talk a lot, but that's kind of become
its own kind of centering.
It's something that one tries to do.
Uh, it can be too easy to look to the future and your goals and something
that you want to.
I think my memory was crap.
I think I was somewhere else.
I was like, whether it be anxiety,
I kind of checked out somewhere else
and I think that can affect the memory.
So you and Kristen did this show together.
And Matt Oberberg, who very funny guy.
And we interviewed people
who have done extraordinary things.
A lot of people have broken Guinness records
and like one guy slackline between two hot air balloons.
We interviewed like the national pun competition winner.
We interviewed a guy who did like the most summer salts
off a trampoline.
How many, like three?
I think it was 20, no.
I think, I don't remember.
Like, wait, so he, okay, here's what I'm-
But it was a lot.
Cause I saw a video. Would you say off a trampoline, meaning he would do, here's what I'm... But it was a lot. Because I saw a video.
Would you say off a trampoline,
meaning he would do one each time?
No.
Scott!
Or he was on like a giant cliff and he did 20?
No, that sounds terrifying.
No, he bounces on a trampoline and then goes...
Like so many flips and then comes back down.
And then comes back and he did over 20 up in the air?
It might not be that.
I think it might, it's like between-
I don't think that would be possible.
It might be 12, but it's the most.
And it's like, he has like bouncers.
Like they, when he goes, it's like-
Like people who are controlling the crowd?
Keeping him away from the clubs or in the club.
But like bounce him so he can get high.
Oh, I see, okay.
It's like a double bounce people.
That feels like it's cheating.
Okay. Did you tell him that?
I did.
We try to shame all of the people who got Guinness records.
It's interesting to talk to normal people.
Oh, thanks.
I meant to tell you that.
It's so interesting to talk to you.
Thank you.
I think that's a very nice compliment.
But to have a podcast where you're talking to normal people,
we talk to normal people on this show all the time.
Like we just talk, you know, you're a...
By the way, I don't like calling them normal people.
Again, the hierarchy here.
Non-cons.
Oh, non-cons.
Non-commissioned officers.
I get it.
No, but I mean, like, I'll talk to you.
You're a person who's in movies and podcaster.
But then later on the show, we have a photographer,
we have a team building expert.
So we talk to...
Which I'm really looking forward to meeting. But we talk to, you know, non-movie stars all the time on the show, we have a photographer, we have a team building expert. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So we talk to- Which I'm really looking forward to meeting.
Right, but we talk to non-movie stars
all the time on the show. Yeah, yeah.
Is it difficult to have,
because you're talking to these people
for the first time, I would imagine,
there's no pre-interview or anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But is it a difficult challenge
or an interesting challenge to talk to people
who are not used to the art of podcasting
or talking on microphones.
No, I don't, no, it hasn't been.
I mean, it's all kind of-
Everyone wants to tell their story.
Yeah, and it's about the questions you ask.
Like, I think you always kind of leading them with,
like the national pun competition girl we chatted with,
who was just fantastic.
Like, how, when you were little,
did you have like a matrix in your head
where there were so many words that came up?
I mean, she's a songwriter too.
And her mind just kind of works in a very unique way
where she'll see something
and it's like this kind of matrix comes up in her head
and there's all these different versions of like a word.
Oh, wow.
And so just kind of finding all that stuff out,
leading them in questions.
Because so many of these podcasts that come out are-
And also the StratGland guy, why?
Yeah, why are you doing this?
Why?
You're facing death every day.
Yeah.
I cut you off, Scott, I apologize.
Tony, I accept your apology.
Aw.
You know what?
I forgive, but I never forget.
Am I still interesting?
I never forget.
Okay.
But I don't even know what I was gonna ask.
No, mission accomplished.
Damn it.
You're the guy who put up that mission accomplished banner
behind George W. Bush, right?
Yeah.
That's your catchphrase, I recall.
Yeah.
Ever since the arrested or abested,
derelict days.
Just living each day is a mission accomplished, right?
Yeah. Like getting through a day sometimes is a mission accomplished, right? Yeah.
Like getting through a day sometimes
is a mission accomplished. It sometimes is.
Yeah.
This sounds like a fascinating show.
I'm sure you're talking to a lot of Guinness
book of world record holders.
Yeah, yeah.
Our friend, Fred Guinness, is in charge of that book.
I'm sure you're probably gonna have him on the show,
I would imagine. Yeah, I would hope to.
I'm sorry I'm missing him today.
Yeah, he's not here today.
I think he's-
Bad planning on Scott Ackerman's part.
Well, I believe I was given this time
and this time only from our guest of honor.
Oh.
No, it's my fault.
Shoot.
Well, it sounds like an incredible show.
How many episodes are out currently?
One.
One?
We just premiered this.
This is easily bingeable at this point.
It is. We had one and this. This is easily bingeable at this point.
It is. We had one and it was the pun competition.
Okay. And it was just fantastic.
It's so fun.
I think people will really enjoy it.
Great. Yeah.
And how long are you going to continue to do this?
How long are you going to be my main competition?
Well, I mean, how long have you been doing this?
16 years next week.
Dude, that is a long time.
Too long.
No, what an accomplishment.
Try retirement.
Don't ask me that.
You'll be the final arbiter.
Because I don't want the competition.
No, but that's 16 years, man.
That's great.
16 years.
Yeah, do you think you'll get there?
Oh, here's hoping, man. Do you think you'll get there? Oh.
Here's hoping, man. Wouldn't that be fun though?
Like you just started this show.
You love the conversations that you have with these people.
And I'd say you love the, I love friends.
Like your friends, well, your new guests come on
and old friends and stuff like that.
One of them is an old friend, the photographer,
but I wouldn't even say an old friend, but a colleague.
Oh, and you're saying the other one is what?
I've never met before, so I'm looking forward to that.
Oh, okay, good. Yeah. Oh, that would be really unfortunate if they used to be a friend. That, and you're saying the other one is what? I've never met before, so I'm looking forward to that. Oh, okay, good.
Yeah.
Oh, that would be really unfortunate
if they used to be a friend.
That's right, an enemy.
Yeah.
Maybe a frenemy.
Have you had a lot of enemies on?
On the show, yeah, I think I've had a low number,
about 58 or so.
Did you bring them on to try to reconcile
or did you bring them on just to like, I don't know.
They start out as guests and then like-
Twist the knife.
Big chunky bubbles, they become enemies.
Big chunk of, he's a soup artist, bubble artist.
Wait a second.
So he, I didn't hear this one, I'm so sorry.
That's okay, he's been on the show a handful of times.
Oh.
And he-
Well, 16 years, that's-
You come across all kinds.
Which I'm sure you're gonna find out
with the Extraordinarians one episode of Witches Out Now.
There's a lot of Guinness records out there.
Quickly, when he's eating the soup and-
He doesn't eat the soup.
Oh, okay.
He blows bubbles with it.
With the soup.
Or the air makes bubbles with it, yeah.
Oh, okay.
I've seen those things at museums where are they massive bubbles?
Yeah, they're pretty big, but they're also scalding hot
and when they burst, they tend to-
They burn him?
They don't burn him, they burn the children
that are there for the parties.
Oh, gracious.
You gotta catch up with the show.
This is his lab.
Wow, you'd think the parents would step in.
You would think.
Yeah.
But he keeps getting hired.
Wow.
Oh man.
You think word of mouth would be his worst enemy.
I kind of also feel like you have a responsibility
on this to say something.
I'm shining a light.
The best sunlight is the best disinfectant they say.
So I'm shining a light on his practices.
Oh wow, bringing awareness.
Cause this is an enemy.
No, this is not an enemy.
He's become an enemy to me.
He's become an enemy.
Yes.
He's one of the most sour assholes I've ever had
the unfortunate non-privilege to talk to.
Do you mind me asking how many children have been scolded?
I think it's in the dozen, certainly,
if not hundreds at this point.
Man, that is really shocking that it keeps going.
I know, but you know, everyone's gotta do something, right?
Everybody's got a gift.
Much like how you have a gift for podcasting
with the Extraordinarians, one episode of which is out now.
How many are in the- You keep saying the one, man.
How many are in the tank?
How many of you recorded?
There's just one.
Oh, we've only recorded one?
No, we've recorded six.
Wait, I missed the question.
We've recorded six.
So are you six episodes ahead?
Do you do this once a week or what's your recording?
I'm actually doing one after this.
Are you really?
Who are you talking to after this?
Can you spoil it?
No, I can't spoil it.
God damn it.
Cause I don't know if I have the complete details about it.
Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of like the surprise.
Do you walk into the recording studio
and let them tell you who they are?
Sometimes.
Or do you get prepped a little bit?
A little bit, a little bit.
I think it's funner when you don't,
when you're not have that much prep.
Yeah. Like today.
Yeah, exactly. I have no prep for you. I think it's funner when you don't, when you're not have that much prep. Yeah. Like today. Yeah, exactly.
I have no prep for you.
I have one thing written down here, the extraordinary,
and one episode of which is out now.
How long have you had that whiteboard?
This particular whiteboard,
this, I believe this came around during COVID.
So it must be five years at this point.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's got a lot of marks on it.
A lot of marks, the kind that you can't wash off anymore.
I know. Do you want to buy me a new white The kind that you can't wash off anymore. I know.
Do you want to buy me a new whiteboard
now that you're a podcaster?
Do you want to buy me new headphones?
We talked about headphones before.
Sure.
Why don't we do a swap?
If we can find headphones and a whiteboard
that are the same amount, the same price.
That's not going to happen.
You can find the fanciest whiteboard.
Really?
Yeah. Okay.
There's gotta be one out there that's,
how much are headphones these days?
What could they possibly be?
$2,000?
This is an Arrested Development reference.
Yeah, and I was at Staples
and I saw a whiteboard for $1,000.
Did you really?
Yeah.
Okay.
So I think it's a good swap.
Okay, great.
Can I have your credit card number?
Oh, yeah, sure.
It's 111-111-1-69-69.
Did you catch the Arrested Development reference that I did in the middle of that?
Oh, gosh.
How much could, what is it?
How much could a banana cost?
Oh yeah, I didn't catch it.
Yeah.
But that is one of my favorite lines.
How much could a banana cost?
$10?
Yeah, do people come up to you doing
Arrested Development references to you all the time?
Last night someone did, and they were talking about me and army,
Buster and army and my awards.
Oh, right.
And how they were stuffed animals.
And then did you corner them and talk about some award show
where everyone thought they were the shit?
And then I said, I said, guess what?
You're gonna die.
And this is fleeting.
Stay in the moment.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
I have to mention that the last time you were here on the show, you, uh, sent a message to my daughter as the character of Forky.
Oh!
Uh, and I took the recording of it,
and I set it to a little animated GIF of Forky,
and I played it for her, and she was for her and she was, it blew her mind.
Oh, I love that.
Do you know that made me so excited
that I just think I pulled my neck out.
I went, ah!
Can I reset that for you?
Ah!
Do you need to get up and stretch
or do jumping jacks or anything like that?
Just my neck.
Oh, I love that.
I, that is one of my favorite things to do.
I actually did that also last night.
It's become a little bit of a party trick because it's like almost even if people aren't
asking, like if I find out they have a-
If someone just goes like, hey, does anyone have a fork?
You go, hey, I played Forky.
Can I record something for you?
If I found out somebody has like a, it's like the age of like two to four child, I'm like, can I give your kid a voice
from over four key and they're like, all right, man,
back off.
She loved it.
Oh, I love it.
She was like, again, four key again.
She would do that over and over and over again.
It was fantastic.
Cause I mean, they're in that magical space
where they believe, you know, four key is real.
Apologies to those out there who still think, anyway.
But I sent it to a animated GIF that I found.
Oh, I'd like to see that.
But it still had the watermark in it.
So I'm hoping you can find a different GIF for me
and maybe sync it to that.
Also, good dad.
That's good dad, man.
Oh, thank you.
You're a great dad, Scott.
That's the one thing I've done.
Oh, no, I think you've done a lot of other things.
16 years of podcasting and an amazing wife.
That's true, yeah. that's not, I mean,
it hasn't affected her all that much,
but I am a good dad, you're right.
She adores you.
Thank you so much.
You've never met her? I just talked to her.
What?
And all we talked about was how much it does.
You did a pre-interview before this with her?
Well, the podcast is called The Extraordinarians.
From what I'm told, one episode is out right now and it is concerning
the pun competition. Champion. How do they ask, like what do they do? They say like apple and then
you come up with a pun for it? Yeah, she had this whole, her name is Jenea, I forgot her last name, but
they say a topic and then it has all these kind of rules to it.
Like it can't be this and this and this.
So like, I don't know.
Yeah, but they say a word and then they have five-
Seconds to complete a pun or something?
To like come up with a pun.
So if it's like fruit, they go, well, apparently I-
Dude, exactly.
Or like if they said like fire, it's like something like,
oh, you got smoked or something.
But I just forgot what I was gonna say.
Wait.
They have five seconds.
We were talking about the amount of seconds,
which was five. Five seconds
and lost me, but she loves it.
This is the takeaway.
She loves it.
She loves it.
And she's really, really good at it.
And it's, it is pretty wild.
Yeah.
It's wild, and it's just a part of that brain.
Like she can just quickly come up with all that kind of stuff.
And then every week is gonna be a new interesting person
who's gonna talk about their exploits and the-
Just extraordinary things.
The things that they've done.
How are you finding the people to book the show?
Are you out there in these streets,
like looking around for people doing things?
We have all the Guinness Guinness conventions
we have a great producer car Kevin Bartlett Bartelt Bartelt and
You should change his name because it looks like Bartlett. Yeah, you know what I mean?
And then he makes us say Bartelt. Yeah, what's the heaven going on with this guy? Oh gosh
Talk about Kevin. Yeah
There's a that makes me think of wasn't there a show called, We Gotta Talk About Kevin? I don't know.
Oh.
Um.
Um.
Um.
Anyways, he comes up with great people.
Yeah. Oh, so he finds the people.
Yeah, he's researching and just finding all these people
that have done extraordinary things.
And there's just cold calls that he's like,
hey, do you want to talk to the rest of development
and Veep, Tony Hale.
And Kristen Shaw.
And it's just, but it's like, and we-
Star of Last Man on Earth.
The Last Man on Earth. And Bob's Burgers. And Kristen Schaal. But it's like, and we- Star of last man on earth.
Last man on earth.
And Bob's Burgers.
And Bob's Burgers.
And we did this thing also where people can nominate
like their friends who are like the worst or the best.
So they'll say like,
oh, my friend's the best at making scrambled eggs.
And then we call their friends and say,
you've been awarded the best.
Tell us about your scrambled eggs.
And then you're also talking to people
who are the worst at things.
And the worst at things.
So like somebody says like a really bad joke teller
would be like, hey, supposedly you were nominated as the worst joke teller by your things. And the worst at things. And like somebody says like a really bad joke teller would be like,
hey, supposedly you were nominated
as the worst joke teller by your sister.
And so then we talked to them about that.
And has this caused any fights between friends
or families or anything? Not as of yet.
Not as of yet, but I'm not a huge fan of conflict.
So I can steer that away.
Oh, good.
I might just lie.
So you were actually voted the best.
You're the best.
The best joke teller.
Oh, I got my notes wrong.
You're the best.
And your sister loves you.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's wonderful.
But it's great.
And it's also, as you know,
it's just so fun to hang out with friends
and like come up with stuff
and meet these fascinating people.
Well, this is fantastic.
Tony Hale is here.
You can stick around the entire show, right?
We're gonna be talking to a- Oh, please.
This is my jam to meet new people.
I love this.
A team building expert is coming up on the show as well as a photographer.
We're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll have more Tony Hale, more Comedy
Bang Bang. We'll be right back after this.
Comedy Bang Bang. Tony Hale is here, of course, of Arrested Development and Veep. You should
do my other show. Scott Hasn't Seen,
because I've never seen Veep before.
You and Matt got to come on.
Oh yeah, it's a fun show.
Yeah, how many episodes,
are there more episodes than of The Extraordinaries?
Yeah, a lot.
There's seven seasons of that.
How many would you do?
Like 10?
How many?
Episodes per season.
Oh, I think it was 10.
Yeah, it was 10.
So like 70 episodes?
Man, both you and I, man,
the memory is just fading away as we're talking.
That's okay.
You know, the important thing is right now
where we are, the human interactions
that we have on a day-to-day basis.
This is our big thing.
This is our big thing.
Yeah, this is the thing we're doing right now.
Well, The Extraordinarians is out now.
Sketch comes out August 6th.
We need to get to our next guest.
She's a team building expert, I'm told.
Please welcome for the first time on the show,
Cruchette Dungan.
Oh my God, well, okay.
I'm so excited to be here.
I'm excited to have you, welcome.
I'm Cruchette.
I'm a team building expert.
And I, okay, so I really wanted to be on here
so that you could finally have access to me
because I work with teams that need building.
And just like if it's something that comes up for you and you're like,
oh my gosh, this for this podcast, we're not jelly, we're not working,
we're not gluing, we're not holding.
I need to get Chris in here and get some activities going to really bond and get us together.
Okay, great. Yeah. I mean Tony and I we have a rapport
He's been on the show approximately twice before we could always use more help. We could you yeah
What are some extra? What's an example of an exercise you would do for a team? Oh, I love this
It's a really good question
Well, I do have to make one quick confession, is that I'm still out.
Like, I haven't been in yet.
Oh, how do you mean?
Okay, so last night, so I had a great team-volunteer experience last night with Nordstrom Rock,
okay?
So we were all together, we did all the fun activities and we were so gelled, right?
And we were like, we don't want to stop.
Let's go out. So we had a full night of it, okay?
We started at the woods,
which is Woody Harrelson's weed lounge.
So we started there and then we went to Bottega Louie,
which is like a really good Italian place.
We went to the back, we had a pizza
and then I had a raspberry macaroon.
Is that how you say it? Macaroon. Macaroon. Macaroon. I think macaroon. Is that how you say it?
Macaroon.
Macaroon.
Macaroon.
I think macaroon is the Canadian prime minister.
I think a macaroon maybe.
Macaroon.
Yeah.
So good.
You just had one, just one macaroon.
I just had one.
Oh, okay.
Building a base.
You might need some more food in your tummy.
And then we went to the Abbey.
Uh oh.
Oh, okay, the Abbey is a cocktail bar.
Bar, it's a bar.
Okay.
And we danced and I ended up on a table and I ended up getting kicked out.
Oh.
But that did not stop the night.
We kept going.
I'll, anyway, I'm still out.
I'm sorry.
Where did you keep going after, if it didn't stop the night?
Okay, so there's this, there used to be a bar called Le Deux, but now it's just an open
warehouse so we went there.
And then I went to...
What did you do with the open warehouse?
There was nothing going on?
I just looked around the place.
Just looked around?
Did you think it might still be the bar?
I thought it was still open and active, but it wasn't.
It's been shut down and it's just an open warehouse.
A warehouse?
Yeah.
It's so interesting to convert a bar into a warehouse.
It's just empty.
But it's flicking. There's a lot into a warehouse. It's just empty. But it's, it's flicking, like there's a lot of potential there.
So then I don't like to take Uber,
so I just got on one of those Postmates robots and rode it
and it was going to Galsens.
So I went to Galsens, went to the soup bar,
got a little more base.
Then I went to Bird's.
They usually tidy those up around like 8 p.m.
They take all the soup out of the trains.
Oh, this was at 745.
Oh, okay.
Then we went-
When you say you've got a base.
So this was at 745.
You had a massively huge evening pre-745.
Yeah, it's just getting started.
Do things really stay open all night?
Yes.
This is all day, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Things are open.
And also it's five in the afternoon
and most of the places you went to it sounds like. Yeah, so it's,, it's five in the afternoon and most of the places you went to, it sounds like.
Yeah. So it's but it's a hop in city. All hours.
Can I ask what do you mean by you got a base?
You got to build a base before you're drinking.
Oh, like a food base.
A food base. Oh, got it.
So you're building the base, you go.
But you have little bits as you go.
So one macaroon will get you to the next place.
And then you just have little bites as you go.
I see. Because you want to eat too much much because then once you're up and you're out
and you have a whole flight of, you know, IPA's or something.
Those are that's all coming up.
You know what I mean? Oh, I hear you. Got it.
OK, so after Gelson's, did you hop back on the the robot?
Yeah, I think his name was Shimi.
And we know Shimiimi by the way.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, Shimi comes on this show a lot.
Oh my God, I'm so excited to meet Shimi.
He's trapped in the walls somewhere.
It's not a robot, but he's a human being.
I hope I meet, I love that name.
So then I wrote Shimi to Byrd's, which was a quick-
Byrd's is a restaurant over by-
And then I caught a show at UCB.
You caught an entire show?
Yeah.
And then I went to the Celebrity Center.
Oh, the Scientology Celebrity Center across the street?
Yeah, they had a bagel bar going.
Oh, but you're not a Scientologist?
Are you a Scientologist?
No.
I just, no, they let anybody in there.
Right, so they had a full bagel bar.
They had a bagel bar.
What does that mean?
They have a ton of bagels, an assortment of bagels,
and then some lox and cream cheese?
Yes, yes.
Capers, lox, cream cheese.
You can get your bagels scooped out, whatever you need.
So I had a bagel, more base.
And then we went to Warwick.
What is Warwick?
It's a hot, hot, hot spot.
Oh, OK. OK.
And so one of the things is I don the things is I like to stand in line.
Oh, what do you enjoy?
Most people don't care to stand in line.
I like it.
You love it.
I like it because then you can mingle and meet,
and I like to get people in line doing some activities,
like team building.
Yeah.
Because we're all in a team,
we're all working together on this line.
And what would be a team building exercise you'd do in that line?
I would say who has an egg on them?
I mean, that's a tough ask, I would imagine.
That is, especially in a club.
Yeah, that one hasn't worked out so great.
So then I'll usually do like two truths and a lie.
Oh, OK. So like, what is an example?
I think I know what it is. So then I'll usually do like two truths and a lie. Oh, okay. So like, what is an example?
I think I know what it is.
Okay, so the way it works is you work out,
like you jumble up in your head,
like two truths and one lie.
So what are two truths and a lie for you?
Okay, so hi, I'm Chris Shet.
Hey.
I am a licensed team only expert with a license.
Yeah.
The fact that you said that twice
makes me feel like that's the lie.
I have only injured four people
during the trust fall experience.
Okay. I need the lie too.
And I am from New Gasbury.
Wow.
I feel like number one was the lie.
I don't think it's number one.
I believe you're a licensed.
You think she's licensed.
Okay.
Which one do you think is the lie?
The new Gaspar?
I would say new Gaspar.
You're right, because that's not the place.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
I'm from New Hampshire.
Oh, okay.
That is a place.
I've heard of that.
Yes, that is a place.
Yeah.
So, but I usually don't even like to lie
because I like to keep things really honest
with my participants. Oh, of course.
But yeah, so I did injure a few people
during a trust fall experience.
What happened?
Were you not there to catch them?
I was doing, so I was working with Erwan Grocery Store.
Erwan is a grocery store
that's very expensive here in Los Angeles.
All this tracks you and Erwan.
Yes, right.
So I got all the employees together.
We were gonna do this trust fall.
Turns out they're all very limber.
So they couldn't do the stiff as a board thing.
So he's noodled straight through the arms and ended up.
So he passed through you almost.
Yeah, he passed through.
So that was one of them.
Did you kind of go along with the others
or were you able to be strong for him or no?
I, no. No.
He had noodled and I was like, oh, I don't know. This is above my pay grade.
Sounds like your pay grade.
I know.
It's exactly the exact pay grade.
I've only been doing this for 15 months.
What did you do before, Prushett?
Oh, so I sold medical devices to one hospital.
Okay, so an assortment of medical devices or did you just sell one medical device to
one hospital?
I sold one medical device that I made in my garage.
To one hospital?
To one hospital.
What was the medical device?
So what it was is like a thing where you hook up
to your earlobes and it reads your blood.
I mean, that sounds like a great invention.
Did this work?
So I saw that girl who made that thing.
Yeah, what was her name?
No, what was her name?
She defrauded all of the people on the board of her company.
Yeah, you put a little bit of blood in a little machine
that tells you to have anything.
I was like, that's fucking brilliant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She went to prison for a long time though.
Yes, but I, yes, I didn't finish the documentary.
Oh, okay, yeah.
So basically it's like jumper cables,
but you put them on your ears
and then it tells you what your blood's doing.
I mean, I kind of wonder if that, I'm questioning if it did well
and I'm questioning if that finances your like party life. Like, does it?
Yes, it did very well. The hospital bought about 15 medical devices.
Oh, so how much were they each?
They were $35,000.
Whoa. So you've made bank.
So that really funded me.
So I'm really just doing the team building for fun.
I mean, it's really what fuels me is my passion.
Like I love meeting people.
I love getting them to jollet and to clump up.
Okay, well, maybe we should do some exercises.
Yeah, I'd love that.
Yeah. Okay, great.
Does anyone have an egg?
Clump up, what does that mean?
Is that like the clumps from the Nutty Professor?
Yeah, like a family.
Oh, I got it.
Okay, yeah, I didn't realize that was a slang term
that was born out of that movie.
To clump up is to be like a family.
Yes, exactly.
So I love everyone who works together
to feel like a family, right?
To clump up.
So are we starting to feel like a family here?
I am.
Well, we haven't even started the exercises, so.
No, but I still feel an energy.
Is that what you're talking about?
I guess we have some work to do, right?
Yeah.
Does anyone have an egg?
Tony, do you?
I don't have an egg, I have a coaster.
Okay, does anyone have a small ball or a marble?
Were you playing marbles earlier,
or last night maybe with this person?
Does anyone have a spoon?
I have some scissors.
Okay, scissors will work.
Scissors will work.
We'll use the scissors and a coaster, okay? And a coaster, yeah. So we're gonna start at one end of the scissors. Okay, scissors will work. We'll use the scissors and a coaster, okay?
And a coaster, yeah.
So we're gonna start at one end of the room.
Okay.
And you're gonna carry that coaster across on that scissors
and not drop it.
And we're gonna cheer for you.
We're gonna cheer.
Okay, so Tony, go ahead.
I think- Is there a specific way I should hold the scissor?
Well, that's up to you.
That's where you get creative.
Okay, great. However you wanna try to hold that. I that. I think I was taught to hold the point side in.
Maybe I should do that.
Don't you think you would get stabbed
if you fell on it that way?
That's true.
Maybe I'll do that.
I think that you should always hold them out
towards the person you're giving to them
because they get stabbed.
Yeah.
I should have told you guys,
I have injured a few people during this exercise.
So with the scissors?
Or with the eggs.
Oh, okay.
Well, with the egg as well.
They're extremely solid.
All right, well, take care of yourself.
Be careful with it, but go ahead and take that coaster.
Put it on the scissors.
And we all have to cheer for him.
We all have to cheer you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what is the coaster again?
I put the coaster-
On the scissors and you don't drop it.
Great.
Okay, so here we go.
Tony's put the coaster on the scissors.
He's now getting up.
Is this a blindfold you're putting on me?
That feels-
Yes, and this is a satin blindfold.
How does it feel?
Yeah, satin, that's luxurious.
I wasn't concerned until now.
Yeah, that's from my house.
Oh, okay.
What do you usually use this for?
Yeah.
What kind of podcast is this?
Informational.
Okay, well, I usually use that for some personal things.
Okay.
Okay.
I mean, that's information, so I think it would be something for the tellers.
I usually use that for, so my lover, I'll put a blindfold on him and then we'll play
hide and seek.
Oh, okay.
I'm not so concerned actually where that came from.
I'm a little concerned not being able to see with the scissors in the kitchen.
Oh, I thought you were concerned about the sanitary.
No, that doesn't concern me.
Okay.
I think that I wasn't nervous
until you put a blindfold on me with scissors.
That did make me more nervous.
Okay, well, you know, Tony, have at it.
Here we go.
Come on, Tony.
Come on, Tony.
Come on, Tony.
Tony, you can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
Ah!
Tony, Tony.
Oh, man, I didn't hit myself,
but did you not wanna tell me where the wall was?
Isn't that a part of the trust? Oops, okay, yeah, that was what we were supposed to do. Oh, instead of cheering, we didn't hit myself, but that, did you not wanna tell me where the wall was? Isn't that a part of the trust?
Oops, okay, yeah, that was what we were supposed to do.
We're supposed, oh, instead of cheering,
we're supposed to say, Tony, Tony, the wall's coming.
We were supposed to say, slow down, slow down,
you're close to the wall.
Okay, we'll do that now.
I did forget that part.
Okay, okay, okay.
Put the blindfold back on.
Put it back on?
Okay, okay, okay.
Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, whoa, slow down.
Wait, you, you,
He was sprinting.
Yeah.
That's not our fault.
You gotta like start slow, and then we say slower.
All right.
Should we all go get drinks?
Yes.
I mean, should we have one now?
Yeah.
Two mixed drinks?
I have a flight for us.
Wait, so you didn't bring an egg,
but you brought a flight?
Yes, I brought a flight.
Okay.
What is the flight of?
Eggs don't travel well in my big bag.
Yeah. And liquor? Oh, okay, yeah. So I brought a flight. Okay. What is the flight of? Eggs don't travel well in my big bag. Yeah.
And liquor?
Oh, okay, yeah.
So I brought a flight of airplane bottles.
Oh wow.
All right.
So these can be, we'll just do, we'll just-
How did you get the airplane bottles?
They usually don't sell those to-
I was on a flight and I snagged-
So a lot of bottles.
I know.
A lot of bottles.
Well, I flew from New Guinea.
Why were you in New Guinea?
What were you doing there?
Team building.
Wow, so people are actually hiring you.
Yes, I'm international.
You're international.
Wow.
Wow, are you getting good reviews?
Are you getting, yeah, please.
Can I look you up on Yelp?
Yes.
Okay, let me look you up.
What is your business name, if you don't mind me asking?
It is Creschet.
Creschet, I believe I'm spelling that correctly.
Yes, it's like Creshell and Bridget.
Yeah. Yeah.
Creschettes.
Clumps?
Clumps.
Creschettes, clumps, okay.
Okay, it's-
You've seen my site.
I've actually seen it.
Okay, it's a one and a half star average here.
That's really good.
A lot of people saying that the business name
doesn't tell you exactly what was gonna happen to you.
Yeah.
But it's catchy.
I didn't bring an egg and then suddenly my session was over.
Yeah.
Can you break down what would have happened with the egg
if there was always an egg present?
Well, there are two things that we do with the egg activity.
Uh-huh. And I hear those reviews, but also two things that we do with the egg activity.
And I hear those reviews,
but also I'm gonna take a little tip from Tony.
Those people weren't living in the moment.
They were thinking too much about like,
oh, what could have happened?
What could we pay for?
Right.
You should just live in the moment and enjoy it.
What's in front of you, you know?
Okay, so with the egg, there are two options.
You can either put it on the spoon and do what you did
and go across the room and we'll say,
hey, hold, hold, hold.
Slow, slow, slow, don't sprint.
Or there's egg drop where each participant
will have an egg and cover it in something
and we'll all drop them at the same time.
And you wanna just-
When you take, oh, I got a backup.
Yeah, please.
You don't mind, we could cover it in something.
What does that mean?
Well, that's where you get creative. Oh, okay. Oh, I see, you're trying to make it not break once it drops. Yeah, please. You don't mind, we could cover it in something. What does that mean? Well, that's where you get creative.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I see, you're trying to make it not break
once it drops. That's right.
So some people would put rubber bands
with a Kleenex to make a parachute.
Yeah, tape, like packing peanuts
or you could put pillows around it.
Oh, okay, so you're trying to protect the egg.
You're trying to protect the egg
and then everyone just drops it together.
And I say, drop! And then we all see who has it. Yeah, but that seems like an individual challenge. How does that help teamwork?
Did you does the team go like I don't think that's gonna work team can
Team can give notes team can talk
Oh, that's team can talk. I know you have some literature here
That's one of my catchphrases. It says number one team can talk. Team can talk. Oh, that's- Team can talk. I notice you have some literature here. That's one of my catchphrases. And it says number one, team can talk.
Team can talk.
So team can say, Oh, I've seen that you wrap this up
in just one slice of paper.
That's not gonna, that didn't work.
So next time maybe we would do something different.
So team can talk.
Team can talk.
Okay, great.
What a great motto.
Did you have a mentor that taught you this?
Tony Robbins.
Oh.
The same Tony Robbins that?
No, no, no.
Tony Robbins, my neighbor that I grew up next to
in New Hampshire.
Oh, oh.
What was Tony Robbins' deal?
He was a big loner, but he-
Like a lone shark, or what does that mean?
He gave- Oh, loner as in-
He hung out by himself a lot,
but he studied teams because he desperately wanted
to be part of teams.
And so I learned everything from him.
Like, oh, what is he missing in his life?
This guy needs, he wants that.
He wants to talk.
Exactly.
Whatever happened to him.
He's, he's still there. Still there. Still there, but how, like whatever happened to him? He's, he's still there.
Still there.
Still there, but how, like whatever happened to him
in his life other than just being in his,
I wasn't asking about his location.
No, it's okay.
It's a little bit dark.
Yeah.
Is this the friend that you had the blindfold with?
Is this the same?
Is this, I mean, you don't have to-
No, we did date.
Okay, yeah.
And he-
Yeah.
What happened to Tony?
He was looking for me.
I had the blindfold on.
He was looking for me.
And-
Wait, you had the blindfold on
and he was looking for you?
Yes.
Seems difficult.
Well, we were mixing it up.
Oh, okay.
And he was looking for me, looking for me.
He couldn't find me
because I had a pretty good hiding spot.
Where were you hiding?
I was like deep, deep under the house.
Oh.
Like a basement or?
No, I just dug a hole under the house.
Can I just, I'm gonna be really honest
because I think I wanna hear,
was there a lock on that door?
Did he put you down there
and this is not something you wanna share?
Okay, well, first of all, let me just say,
I'm glad you're out.
Me too, and that's why I like to be around people.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you were locked in a dungeon.
Is it safe to call it a dungeon?
It was under a house.
It was not that scary. You're blindfolded.
Oh, that sounds scary.
I lived with some raccoons.
It was really actually pretty fun. Oh, gosh. Locked in a dungeon. I lived with some raccoons. It was really actually pretty fun.
Oh, gosh.
I had a good time.
Wow, okay.
And I really got those raccoons to work together.
Team did talk.
Team did talk.
But I think I learned a lot
from that experience in particular.
I bet, yeah.
I can imagine, yeah.
And so now I'm using everything I learned from him.
Okay. From that experience.
Yeah.
Took a big old flight to LA and-
Pun intended as well, because all of these flights.
Yeah.
And I have never looked back and I have built teams all across the city.
If you go into a store and you feel the synergy of that team, there's a pretty good chance Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris good chance. There's you. Chris, crochet club. Also, I have seen the raccoon logo around town.
Is that you?
Yes, that is me with the blindfold on.
Racoon with the blindfold.
This literature that you brought
has just a ton of pictures of raccoon.
That's it, that's me.
Some of them are mating in this.
That's right, yeah.
One of them has a blindfold on, yeah.
Yes, yes.
Wow, I just love that you use something
which sounds really awful and dark
and used it for the positive.
That's right, it's called alchemy.
I'm not sure it is, but I'll take your word.
This is, you know.
Okay, so what's an example of a place you've gone
in the city and you're like, the vibes here are perfect
and the people are synergized.
Where were you last night?
Yeah, where were you last night?
Sounds like a lot happened to you last night.
Oh, I was, it was a restaurant downtown.
Was it Little Caesars?
Like pizza pizza?
Yeah.
No, but is that-
I just worked with him and that team is United.
Fire.
Yeah.
Was the little guy in the toga there with the-
He was, pizza pizza.
Yeah, he had the two pizzas on his stick.
That's right.
Yeah.
Wow.
He probably had the biggest growth spurt in that group.
Really? Wow.
He did not wanna work with people,
and then he was talking team at the end of it.
That's fantastic.
He was talking, period.
Yeah, team can talk.
Well, this is fantastic, Prashett.
Oh my gosh, Prashett.
Tony, do you feel like you learned anything here?
Did I learn anything?
You slammed into the wall a couple of times.
Yeah, but that's okay.
Listen, it was worth it.
Yeah. I think it was.
I feel connected to you right now.
I'm inspired by you are really making lemonade
out of some serious lemons.
Thank you.
And putting a little bit of a flight in there.
Yeah, and putting a little bit of extra.
And just want, so now that you have access to me,
you have my personal email address.
Okay.
You can use me for any of your team building experiences.
I definitely will.
I mean, this has been an invaluable experience.
I think it has.
And you should probably with your co-hosts
on the Extraordinarians,
you should probably do some of this training
with them as well.
Yeah, crochet.
Yeah, two truths and a lie, Egg Drop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can build our own.
That could be a weekly segment on your show, the egg drop.
The egg drop.
I do want you to take care of yourself.
Yeah.
I want you to take yourself medicating a bit.
Or a lot.
I would say disassociating.
Yeah, much like Tony did with his childhood.
Well, I'm just,
I'm just,
with your memory.
Yeah.
Well, we have exercises for that.
Really?
And I'm just so busy. Right now I'm in my building phase. Well, we have exercises for that. Really? And I'm just so busy.
Right now I'm in my building phase.
Right, right.
So I'll sleep, you know, when I'm dead.
When you're dead, yeah.
I think we all will.
I mean, that's-
That is the truth.
Words to live by or to die by.
We need to take a break.
When we come back, we're gonna have a photographer,
but can you stick around, Cruchette?
Yeah, I can do that.
Okay, great.
We're gonna be talking to a photographer when we come back.
We're gonna come back with more Tony Hale, more Cru-Shet Dungan.
We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.
Comedy Bang Bang, we're back.
Tony Hale, The Extraordinarians, one episode of which I'm learning right now is out currently,
but the plan is for more episodes to come out. Yes, that's the plan.
That is the plan. But you know, I mean, God laughs when we humans make plans.
Yeah. Oh, God. All right. Well, I guess it's over.
And we also have Crochet Dungan here, who was taking us through a few other exercises during the break.
Yeah.
Yes. Slide on the carpet.
Slide on the carpet was one.
Like a dog?
No, on your belly. Oh, because you were rubbing your ass on the carpet. Slide on the carpet was one. Like a dog? No, on your belly.
Oh, because you were rubbing your ass against my carpet.
That's what Walter does.
That's when team can talk about,
hey, let's get you on your belly.
Let's get you on your belly.
Who's Walter by the way?
My dog.
Oh, okay.
You can't just say that's what Walter does.
I'm sorry.
Not explain who Walter is.
I like watching Walter slide his little bottom on the rug.
Yeah, so yeah, you were sliding your butt
on the carpet the entire time.
Oh, God, I wish somebody had told me.
You didn't tell me.
Isn't that kind of part of your job to tell me that?
We let you work it out first.
No judgments.
No judgments, and then we start talking.
Oh, but unless I brought it up, I wouldn't have known.
No, we watch you scoot for a little bit
and then we let you know.
Yeah, we had a good time watching you.
We were all laughing and giggling,
and that's part of the team.
Yeah.
We were team building laughing at you.
Yeah.
That's one technique that I've been reading about
in your literature here.
Yeah.
Amongst all of the pictures of the raccoons.
Gelling.
What are these two raccoons doing, by the way?
It seems like they're in the middle of like
Greco-Roman wrestling or something.
What are they up to here?
Yes, they're expressing each other of like, Greco-Roman wrestling or something. What are they up to here?
Yes, they're expressing each other's...
Anal glands?
Glands.
Okay, but what are the costumes you put on them?
Oh, those are superhero costumes.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, which superheroes are they supposed to...
These are not licensed heroes, right?
No, because I couldn't, I don't want to get sued.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Yeah, so those were Mr. Raccoon Man.
Mr. Raccoon Man. So it's a raccoon with the powers of a man?
That's it.
That's definitely not out there.
That's right.
And then Little Sally, a squeeze box.
Little Sally squeeze box.
Okay.
Yes, and she just, she's a musician.
Oh, okay.
That's not really a superpower, is it, to be a musician?
Or maybe, maybe what?
How have you met a musician?
That's a good point. Maybe Sally was really a superpower, is it, to be a musician? Or maybe, maybe what? How have you met a musician? That's a good point.
Maybe Sally was not a musician,
then got bitten by a radioactive musician,
and then the next day-
I don't know, Scott.
Yeah, that's a lot of backstory, Scott.
I don't know.
Okay, I'm sorry.
You know, we can work this out, though,
if we're gonna turn these into something, right?
I mean-
Are we working together?
I have access to you with your email here.
That's true. You know what? I have access to you with your email here. That's true.
You know what?
I teach in my groups.
Don't say no until you got to.
I think you should have said no
with the guy who locked you in the dungeon
a little bit earlier.
I don't think you saw that that was a-
I said I gotta give you a chance until it's a hard no.
Right now, we're gonna see where it goes.
Okay, wonderful.
Well, we need to get to our next-
Okay.
We need to get to our next guest.
He's a photographer. He's been need to get to our next. Okay. We need to get to our next guest. He's a photographer
He's been on the show many times before he's a videographer
No, you're mistaken Scott. I've never been on the show before. I'm the Nightwolf. Oh, sorry
I I was told Jack Furs was gonna have a common mistake
No, I've actually never I'm the mask vigilante protector of Los Angeles known as the Nightwolf.
I've never, this is my first time on the show.
Oh, I, we've been talking about you
for years now on the show.
Jack, I'm sorry I didn't mistake you.
No, no.
My producer must've gotten the information mixed up.
You have a producer?
Yeah.
Shocking.
Can you imagine listening to the show?
But we, Jack Furze, I don't know if you know who he is.
He's a photographer.
I'm a fan of his work.
It's funny you bring him up.
I actually wanted to talk about him.
Really? Okay.
So he's been talking about you for years.
He's a photographer and a videographer.
He frequently takes videos of me and photos of me
and tries to publish stories about him.
I mean, he's a very skilled photographer.
He's a great guy and he's looking for work.
And I kind of wanted to come out here and plug his business.
Oh, okay, nice of you.
He was a freelance videographer for local news stations, right?
That's right, yeah.
But it seemed like he was only interested
in taking video of you and your exploits.
He was really trying to champion me
and some of the cases I've been on.
And I feel bad for him.
I mean, he just got kicked off KTLA.
He had a good run there and he's really looking for anything.
So if anybody's got any leads for this guy, because he is.
Does he take pictures of team building time?
Yeah, I mean, he could at this point.
He's willing to do anything as long as it's above board. I mean, hell, even if it's at board level
or slightly below board, if you need somebody like Phil.
How did you two meet?
You know, we actually both own wolves.
So it's a weird coincidence.
We both have two pet wolves, but with the same names,
Justice and Payback, it's a weird small world thing.
We both kind of work out at the same names, Justice and Payback. It's a weird small world thing.
We both kind of work out at the same dojo.
I always thought that was a strange coincidence.
He owned these two wolves, Justice and Payback.
You also own the two wolves, Justice and Payback.
Yes, two separate wolves.
Are they two separate wolves?
They are, yes.
We take note of your word.
They're just full of your word. Great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those are just full of these weird coincidences.
Yeah, yeah.
How did you get those names, Justice and Payback?
They just kind of manifested themselves.
Wow.
Payback is kind of condemned to the Wolf's Den right now, which yes, I know is the name
of Hitler's bunker.
I didn't find that out until I named it.
People can stop telling me that. Hitler's bunker aside, what is it? What do you mean he's condemned to of Hitler's bunker. I didn't find that out until I named it. People can stop telling me that.
Hitler's bunker aside, what is it?
What do you mean he's condemned to the Wolf's Day?
He ate a small pug.
PB did?
He did, yes.
PB payback.
He ate a small dog.
Oh, gracious.
Yes, it was a sad day for us.
Wait, my friend Julie is missing her dog.
Okay, well, I'll get on that case in a minute.
So is it a cannibal?
Well, wolves are not necessarily dogs.
Oh, right, yes, okay. I mean, they were bred from dogs originally, were they not?
Or I have no idea. You know more about wolves than wolves.
You think wolves were bred from dogs?
Sorry, the reverse.
Okay. And then man turned into ape.
This is turning into Planet of the Apes.
Okay, Nightwolf, we've never met.
There's no...
Yes, we don't have that kind of rapport, but I have listened to the show.
I love the show.
I love the episode where you and Louis C.K. cried.
That did not happen on this show.
Oh, that's WTF.
That's WTF.
That's WTF.
I'm so new to this world, Scott,
because I've never been here
that I got the two shows confused.
I really don't want to be confused with that.
But let me ask you a question,
because we've been talking about you for years now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Jack Furze aside, you wanna plug his business, whatever,
but tell me about being a mass vigilante.
Yes, I mean, again, everything in our society's me his business, whatever. But like, tell me about being a mass vigilante. I mean, it's- Yes, I mean, and again, I really,
everything in our society is me, me, me, right?
I did want to help out Jack a little bit.
Sure, sure.
He's probably fine, though.
He's probably, you know,
he's probably underwater with a lot of lawsuits.
He's probably getting sued by Marvel Comics and-
Oh, that's right, they had a character
in the Nightwolf, right?
Yeah, weirdly, they also have a character named Nightwolf,
and Kevin Hart is maybe coming at him,
even though that suit should get thrown out,
because he's got a movie called Night Wolf.
I mean, why they're going after Jack Furze with these lawsuits
is anybody's guess, but the guy's in financial trouble.
Okay, we don't have to talk about Jack Furze, though,
because I have the Night Wolf on my show here.
Yeah, but you have a real heart for him,
which I think is really nice.
And I think we should all be looking out for each other.
But tell me about the Nightwolf.
Tell me about like what crimes have you stopped?
I mean, we've gotten so little information,
just the video that Jack Furze has taken.
Yeah, I'm on a very serious case right now.
Did you hear about this bank robbery?
There was a jewel robbery downtown.
That's two very different things.
Maybe people haven't heard about the bank robbery yet, but I'm working on that one too.
Oh, but a jewel robbery. I haven't heard of it.
There was a big jewelry heist. Yeah. Millions of dollars stolen. And people think it's a pack of
thieves. And they're not thinking the big picture of maybe these thieves told
someone someone was locked inside this vault and this guy broke in and he didn't want to
and he was tricked and then they knocked him out.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
What?
Who's not thinking the big picture?
I'm thinking the authorities.
I mean, that's why I do this. I investigate these cases.
You think the case, what happened? What's your working theory?
Here's my working theory.
Okay.
Okay.
These robbers found some do-gooder who's trying to maybe protect the city.
And they tell him, hey, somebody's stuck inside the vault.
And so this guy, this good guy,
who's probably some could see as a hero
because he's doing the right thing.
Does he have a name?
I'm working on that.
There are clues about the name?
There might be clues.
I mean, the scene is probably covered in my DNA
because I'm investigating it.
Oh, I see.
That makes sense.
Yes, but maybe this guy, this hero, let's call him,
drills into this vault and there is no one inside.
There was no one trapped.
And then these horrible villains knock him out
and rob this place and try to make it look
like he robbed the place.
That's sick.
Do you know what's hard though,
is you're wearing a beautiful diamond necklace.
Yeah.
And which doesn't really go with your costume.
I have to say. That's right.
My costume is kind of in trouble these days.
The heat from a separate drill burned off the fur
on the Nightwolf's costume.
So at this point it's basically just a ski mask
rolled up a little bit.
Yeah.
Okay, so that was a separate drill though.
That must have smelled crazy.
It smells awful.
It smelled awful.
We've all smelled burnt hair.
Imagine just a low grade costume fur just going up in flames.
Wow.
Cause these drills get hot.
Yeah, so to sort of augment your costume,
you put a diamond necklace around your neck?
Yeah.
That's not a party city necklace.
That's not, this is the real thing.
Yeah, man.
There's a few clues I could find
and I'm asking around and having that, yeah.
Oh, I see, so it's, oh, it's evidence that you're-
This is evidence.
Oh, got it. This is evidence. Yeah, and I wear it around. Oh, I see, so it's, oh, it's evidence that you're- This is evidence. Oh, got it.
This is evidence, yeah, and I wear it around
just to keep a close eye on it.
Sure, well, I mean, what better place
to have that on your neck?
Is that David Yehrman?
Is David Yehr, who is he?
He's a jeweler.
He's a jeweler.
Yeah, I believe, I'm working on the case,
so I gotta talk to people like you
who know like, jewels, names. Yeah, to people like you who know the Jules Danger.
I was just getting a charm bracelet from my wife
at Tiffany and Company, and I saw that necklace.
Are we talking about Tiffany's?
This place was, I believe Tiffany's,
or someone named Tiffany was working there
at the very least, I know that much.
So at the very least,
there was someone named Tiffany working there. At the very least. I know that much. So at the very least, there was someone named Tiffany working there.
At the very least,
and I gotta go through my paperwork.
I got my little notepad here.
It's a little singed from the heat from the drill.
That's a little notebook.
Yeah, I gotta keep it in my wallet here.
Yeah. Yeah.
So I gotta keep it real small and you can fold it up.
But this is where I jot down a lot of clues.
It's a lot of detective.
You've only put one word on each of the pages here.
Like this one says hot.
All it takes to jog my memory.
This one says drill.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
And that represents the drill.
And this one says take.
Cake?
Take.
And then the next one just says grab it.
But then this one says cake.
Cake.
I gotta pick up some cake later.
Some cake? Or what does that mean up some cake later. Some cake?
Or what does that mean, picking up part of a cake?
Well, Jack Furze's parents were gunned down by a drunk driver on this day.
Wait, wait.
A drunk driver parked the car and then guns down Jack Furze's parents?
He's never talked about this.
Yeah, I mean, it's a painful memory and they were at a cake party.
And so at a...
A cake party.
Yeah, they were at a party where...
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Everybody bring your own cake.
Yeah, Crochet, you've probably...
A potluck.
I love a cake potluck.
She loves a cake potluck.
And everybody was having a good time
and it's a really fun...
And then a drunk driver drove there.
Drunk driver drove there wasted,
just shooting all over the place.
And unfortunately, Jack lost his parents,
and it was really rough for him.
And this wasn't one of the first of many tragedies
in his life.
And, you know, I feel for the guy,
so I drop off a little bit of cake at this site annually.
I see.
So what was the site?
This was a party where-
It was a party, yeah.
Yeah, it was a party venue.
Yeah, party venue.
Yeah, it was a party venue, someone rented it out.
It's kind of with the end. Like an Airbnb?
I believe this was pre-Airbnb,
but it is being used for an Airbnb now
if you do want to rent it.
I see. It's a beautiful venue.
So you're gonna drop off some cake to this Airbnb.
I kind of put some on the ground in front of there.
Does he like a certain type of cake?
I try to get whatever looks good on the day.
These bakeries, I mean, you go in for the cake
they're known for, and it turns out
they kind of go through the motions on it.
Triple Berry or something.
Yeah, this place is famous for Triple Berry
and they're just cranking that shit out.
Right, so you want the specials that they're making.
You want something with a little heart in it.
You've really thought a lot about this.
I think a lot of things through, Scott.
Yeah.
That's how I've gotten where I am.
How many cases have you solved over the years?
Yeah.
You've been out there now for years.
Jack has been telling us about.
A lot of close calls, a lot of close calls.
Those are the ones that you remember.
I don't remember all the victories,
I don't remember all the solving.
The ones that really haunt you are the ones that you miss.
I mean, that's how I got into this game, Scott.
Yeah, how did you start?
Well, I was-
Because we've heard about Jack Furze
and his drunk driver who took a sub machine gun to his parents.
Yeah.
But how did you start?
Dark.
What's your origin?
I was leading a-
Is that one of your life questions
in your team building? Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
God, it feels good to be, I feel like I'm part of a team.
Oh. It feels great.
Man, this case closed.
Can I use that quote on my website?
I'm a pack with payback and vengeance,
but it's not the same now that payback's home.
So it feels-
He's in the Wolf's Den,
which is what coincidentally Hitler's bunker was called.
And I've heard enough about it.
Okay. That's just a weird coincidence.
Weird coincidence.
I didn't know when I named it.
Wolves run in packs,
which makes way more sense for my website than raccoons.
I was gonna say, yeah, it's a better metaphor.
It's a lot of work to change your logo.
Yeah, and I don't wanna show vengeance
to the pictures of the raccoons.
That is gonna get him riled up.
Yeah, so anyway, tell us about how you started
in the whole vigilante business.
Well, I was leaving a very nice restaurant as a young man.
I was leaving a very nice restaurant as a young man.
I was a child and I bumped into one of my favorite actors,
OJ Simpson.
He's been on this show before. Yeah, I loved his acting.
I didn't really keep up with him post 92 or so.
This was 90, this was 94.
This was right around there.
And I bump into him and I stopped him
and he seemed like he was in a real hurry
and I stopped him because I love those naked gun films.
Yeah, which one's your favorite, do you mind?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Two and a half, the smell of fear, so good.
It's funny that it wasn't two.
It's not the fall number.
It was two and a half, it was funny. Yeah. And so this was right around when 33 and a third came out
and I was really excited to see it.
And I bump into him and he's dying to get away from me,
but he takes the time to talk to me.
And then I find out-
This is a restaurant?
This was a beautiful restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Oh, it wasn't Brentwood?
The Brentwood, Excuse me, yes.
You never seem to know the names of these places.
Is that just kind of a thing?
Are you leaving it secret so we don't know?
Well, I don't want people tracking me down.
Yeah, you're looking through receipts.
I would imagine the restaurant probably has the receipts
from that era.
I've gotten better about it since this day.
At the time, I was, what did've gotten better about it since this day.
At the time I was, what did it matter?
You were a young child.
I was a young child.
Being at a very fancy restaurant in Brentwood.
God, if only I wouldn't have stopped him.
Maybe he could have stopped.
It turns out there was a murder that happened that night.
I don't know if you've heard about this.
No, I haven't heard about this.
You haven't? What happened? No, I mean, I stopped really paying attention
to OJ Simpson after his football career.
After he played with the Bills in the 70s.
Yeah, it turns out his ex-wife and a waiter were killed.
And I feel like had I not stopped him that day,
maybe he could have stopped the crime.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
So that's what instilled this love for vigilante justice.
That's right.
Wow.
And it's close.
There's a lot of close calls
and sometimes your patrols are a little bit late.
And sometimes you try to get ahead of it and you miss it.
Yeah.
It's really difficult, Scott.
Wow. It's hard. If you wrote a book, it and you miss it. Yeah. It's really difficult, Scott. Wow.
It's hard.
If you wrote a book, it would be called Close Calls.
God, yes, that's a great name.
It would be called Close Calls.
Yeah.
I'm looking on your Instagram right now
and there's a lot of pictures of you and OJ.
Is that still, do you guys still have a really,
even knowing this, you still have a really good friendship?
I mean, he's good at forgiving
and he's kind of forgiven me for stopping him.
That's so nice.
I mean, he always was a really compassionate guy
you could tell in all the commercials.
He's one of the few people that knows my secret identity.
Oh, well, do you wanna, what is your secret?
People have been speculating about your secret identity.
Jack Furs is baffled by this.
He has no idea who you could be.
If even a bright guy like Jack Furze can't figure it out,
I don't think anybody will.
And I'd like to keep it that way for the safety of me
and my loved ones.
Who are your loved ones?
Do you mind us asking?
Well, I'm dating again.
Wow, this is huge news Nightwolf.
Yeah.
You're dating again.
That's right.
Who are you?
Who are you dating?
Is that the pictures of OJ?
Is that like, is there a connection here?
OJ is Tony no longer with us, all right Pete, but.
That's right.
He's really in the moment now.
But I'm sure people come up here on this show
and talk about the influence of the Simpsons all the time.
And I'm one of those people,
the Simpsons was a huge influence on me. The Simpsons all the time. And I'm one of those people, the Simpsons was a huge influence on me.
The Simpsons already did it.
Yeah.
But yeah, no, I'm dating and it's great.
That's wonderful.
Where did you meet this person?
I saved her.
Oh. Oh.
Yeah, so it's a kind of weird situation.
She doesn't know my secret identity.
She's only dated you as the Nightwolf.
That's right.
Okay, so when you're wearing a ski mask
that covers your lips,
how do you become physical with this person?
That's a very personal question.
Well, I mean, this is an informational podcast
and that is information.
Wait, let me mediate for a second.
Are you feeling comfortable with that question?
Thank you so much. Yeah, things are getting very personal Wait, let me mediate for a second. Are you feeling comfortable with that question?
Thank you so much.
Yeah, things are getting very personal.
And I don't want to reveal her secret identity too much.
She has a secret identity?
Well, her actual, her identity, I guess I get so caught up in it.
It is a secret to us.
Wait, is this her on your Instagram?
Oh yeah, that's her.
Okay, whoops.
Oh boy.
That's a public account.
When you're in love, you just start doing crazy things.
And we are, yes, we don't kiss in the traditional way
with lips, skin to skin contact,
but there are other forms of physical love
that you can take.
And we explore those. Telepelaptic?
Yes. Absolutely. you can take and we explore those. Telepelaptic, yes.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Wow, is that a new word for you?
Me?
Yeah.
No, I think it sounds like you've used it several times.
That's a big word for my brand.
You're absolutely right.
Wow, so I mean, this, I mean, yeah, you've even tagged her.
I've tagged her a few times, yeah.
Yeah.
And I shouldn't do that probably.
But it looks like you could just be friends on here,
but we know it's more serious.
Wait, this one says, three weeks together.
She likes to say, you know, we're just friends now
and she tries to play up this ruse that we're friends.
You hashtag love of my life,
hashtag we're gonna be together forever.
Oh.
Does she know?
I mean, you've tagged her on this.
She must know.
She doesn't use, she does have an account,
but she doesn't really use Instagram.
Yeah, let me click on her account.
Oh, it's private and it has no pictures.
She uses it more just to log on to things.
Oh, it's like an intermediary to log on.
Like it's her homepage?
Yeah, it's her home.
I mean, just put down a website, she puts that on.
When was the last time you saw her?
God, I haven't seen her since.
She deactivates bombs and kind of explosive weaponry.
Oh, what an interesting job.
Yeah, really interesting, high stress.
And I keep attracting these women with these risky jobs.
You saved her.
Yeah.
But from what, a bomb or from?
Broken elevator.
Oh.
Yeah.
It was broken in what way?
So it's suspended?
It was suspended, yeah. And so I in what way? So it's suspended? It was suspended, yeah.
And so I got her out of there.
Yeah.
Okay, so you got her out of the elevator
and romance kind of bloomed,
even though she says you're just friends,
but you are treating her on your Instagram
like you've been together for a while.
I'm reading between the lines here, Scott.
It seems like you don't believe in our relationship
or you think I'm over. I'm supportive. Okay. No judgment. It just doesn't seem like- You seem like I'm stalk between the lines here, Scott. It seems like you don't believe in our relationship or think I'm over...
I'm supportive.
Okay.
No judgment.
It just doesn't seem like...
You seem like I'm stalking her.
Listen.
No.
I wouldn't use that word.
Would you say tagging is probably the only intimacy
you've had, like when you tag her on Instagram?
Have you guys ever like talked?
What are we in high school?
Do I have to tell you guys that we've done it?
No, I'm not saying that, but...
Okay, come on.
Have you? Wait.
Team speak. Yeah, have you guys that we've done it? No, I'm not saying that, but- Come on. Wait, how-
Team speak.
Yeah, have you ever had a conversation with her?
Yeah, we've had conversations-
Wait, are these Photoshopped pictures?
Oh.
I clean them up a little bit.
Gosh.
For everybody's benefit.
I'm sure anyone who looks at it needs a clean picture.
Yeah.
Wow, the OJ ones look pretty cleaned up too.
Hey, I'm no Jack Furze, okay?
I can't take great photos.
I'm trying the best I can here.
Well, no one is a Jack Furze.
No, I mean, the guy's incredible.
Would somebody hire this guy?
It sounds like you wanna date Jack Furze.
Platonic bond, you're making everything sexual, Tony.
No, I'm not.
Two wolf owners, they can bond over owning wolves.
But just a really strong friendship.
Don't you have the Wolfmobile?
You share a very similar vehicle as well.
That's right, the Wolfmobile.
No, I'm not just a huge fan of Dumb and Dumber.
It is a van with-
How big of a fan of Dumb and Dumber would you say you are,
if you're not huge?
I mean, I've seen the movie.
How many times?
Several, I mean, it was a popular sleepover film for me.
So how, if you had to estimate or even guesstimate?
If I'm doing a guesstimate, ow, six times.
Six times, okay.
The old Wolfmobile crashed,
and now I'm dealing with a van.
We put some fur on there to kind of wolf it up.
Wow.
Very similar to Jack Furze's vehicle as well.
Jack Furze and I both got into car accidents,
and both replaced our cars with vans.
They come in handy for him, for his camera equipment,
for me, for my wolf-a-rang's.
Wolf-a-rang? Yeah, for my wolfarangs and- Wolfarangs?
Yeah, are these boombarangs?
My smoke bombs and flash bangs.
Flash bangs.
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot that goes into your work.
I mean, and it's expensive, the upkeep on the wolfarangs.
It's really expensive to be your
friendly neighborhood howlslinger.
Yeah, can I ask you a question?
Do you think coyotes have gotten a bad rap?
I do.
In what way do you think they've gotten a bad rap?
Well, I feel like they, and everybody's got dogs,
but then coyote is like, oh, coyote,
but you wonder if they're just a dog that got a bad rap.
And we should be more forgiving.
You know, if a coyote eats your dog,
aren't they just being a coyote?
Like if a wolf ate a dog,
like why should we try to get him thrown out of a building?
Thrown out of a building?
Oh, meaning an apartment building.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
I thought you meant like off the top of a building.
No, no, good God, no.
Good luck trying to throw payback off a building.
I...
Oh, it just seems like, yeah, the punishment is not commensurate with the crime.
Yeah.
Why did you call him payback?
Payback?
You know, I'm kind of giving back.
Oh, I see.
So it's like pay it forward.
Yes.
It's like pay it forward.
God, great movie.
Yeah. Starring our friend, the Handjob Man.
Yeah, Handjob Man.
H.J., Hayley Joel.
Oh.
Our good friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to him, he may be listening.
Hope everything's good for you out there.
And I mean, yeah, so you're just like Paying It Forward.
I was working briefly with a fellow vigilante
named Handjob Boy.
And I couldn't convince this kid to change his name.
I had to stop working with him
because people were getting the wrong idea.
Yeah.
But incredible.
Was he just good with his hands or something?
Yes, incredible skill set.
Yeah, that's bad branding.
Yeah.
Really bad brand, but when you think about it, I mean, people good with guns, people good with knives, I'm good with wolfer ranks.
But if you're good with your hands, you can get out of-
You'd be really good at the egg drop exercise. Oh, I bet you would. Yeah. Do you want to-
I have several eggs. Oh my God. I love that. Okay. Can you bring-
Now, Chris Hett, he has a lot of eggs. You'd think that-
Oh my God. This is so great for our building. Yeah, but can we do an egg drop here with him?
Yeah, all right, thanks.
I've got these kids that keep egging me
and I'm finally gonna fight fire with fire.
Oh, got it, yeah.
Oh, and you're-
All right, I'm gonna wrap this egg up in-
Fur.
Yeah, some of the fur off here and-
It's a little singed.
Yeah, okay, great.
And I'm gonna drop it from,
how big, what height do you want me to drop it from, would you say?
15 stories.
Oh, I don't believe we're near a 15 story building.
Okay, or two stories.
How about just from like the top of my head down to,
is that okay?
Or six foot five.
Okay, yeah, six, well, sure, six foot five.
I'll hold it above my head.
I'm gonna drop this egg and we're gonna see what happens.
All right.
Okay, so we're gonna cheer for you.
Yeah, go Scott. Oh, shit. Yeah, go, Scott.
Oh, God, that was a smoke bomb!
That was a smoke bomb!
Oh, my eye, my eye!
Ah, God!
Oh, Jack, oh, Nightwolf!
My eye.
Oh, God, is Jack here?
Is that why you said his name?
I, for some reason, I have no idea why I cried out Jack
when I meant to be admonishing you, Nightwolf. This is have no idea why I cried out Jack
when I'm meant to be admonishing you, Nightwolf. This is the first time I've accidentally
set off a smoke bomb.
The pain will pass.
You actually build up a tolerance to it.
It's actually good to get the tears out.
Okay, I'll try to cry through it.
Well, Nightwolf, thank you so much for coming by.
That was, what a journey you've had. Yeah, but you're mainly here to plug...

First, I have to lift up, you corrected Scott,
and Scott took a thought so beautifully.
Thank you so much.
It was so, the work here is amazing.
I didn't get defensive, right?
No.
I didn't tell you you were wrong?
No, it was amazing.
Oh, thank you, Creshet.
I love to plug.
Everything all right here?
Do you need to-
I don't know.
I don't want to go-
It's probably the smoke bomb.
Yeah, drink.
That's not water, but yeah, drink.
Is that a professional smoke bomb?
It seemed handmade somehow.
Is that your wolferang?
Yes, this is my wolferang in my hand, yeah.
I'm just trying to get it to work.
I'm just trying to get it to work.
I'm just trying to get it to work.
I'm just trying to get it to work. I'm just trying to get it to work. I'm just trying to get it to work. I'm just trying to get it to work. I'm just trying to get it to work. Is that a professional smoke bomb? It seemed handmade somehow. Yeah, is that your wolferang?
Yes, this is my wolferang in my hand.
Yeah, I'm just kind of keeping it around
in case anybody comes at me.
It's a boomerang in the shape of a wolf.
Does that fly back to you or?
It comes back to you, right?
It goes straight out.
It does not come back.
Got it.
The orang part is- Like a gun?
Yes, it kind of works like a gun.
It shoots, yes, yeah.
But not as fast.
Not as fast.
Some have called it a slow gun.
Slow gun.
But it's a wolf orang, obviously.
It does its job.
There's plenty of time to get away from it
if you're paying attention.
Guns are too fast.
Yeah.
Creshet, what do you want to plug?
I would love to plug a movie coming out this summer called Don't Tell Larry. if you're paying attention. Guns are too fast. Yeah. Creschette, what do you wanna plug?

And what is this film about?
This is about, it's a workplace
and there's a guy named Larry who's like weird
and like, and Susan, the main worker there,
doesn't wanna invite him to a party
and then it just unravels.
And it gets really fun and dark and weird
and genre-bending and...
And what's it called again?
It sounds like you're sobering up, by the way.
No, no, no.
Just when I talk about that, I get...
Well, I just snuck a few flights,

Okay.
See you guys at the warehouse.
Nightwolf, what do you wanna plug here?
Oh, I've been listening to this show,
also put together by super producer Kevin Bartelt.
Hmm, oh.
It's called the Action Boys Podcast.
These three buffoons who talk endlessly about old movies.
I frequently listen to it.
It's at actionboys.biz.
Oh, okay.
Actionboys.biz.
And they talk for a long time, from what I can tell, about these movies.
Yeah.
Hours and hours and hours.
Hours and hours about movies
no one particularly likes or have heard of.
Have they watched the Rocky Balboa documentary

Wonderful to have you now be one of our regulars

Yeah, but if I remember.
You remembered to come today and I'm appreciative for that.
Yeah, I just don't remember the last time I came.
That's right, that's fine, neither do I.
Thanks.
You have your own show to worry about now.
You remember all those, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You've mentioned two guests.
One, we have a slack liner and a pun champion
and a guy who puts toothpicks in his beard.
And I think he put up like 600 toothpicks
and it was fascinating.
Wow.
Did he do it in front of you, for you?
No, no, but he showed his pictures.
Yay.
Wait, have we had him?
Yeah.
So wait.
The toothpick person?
The memory thing worries me, Tony.
I feel like someone is doing something to you.
There's some nefarious deeds at work.
Someone akin to the ringmaster
hypnotizing you every night or something.
No, no, no, no.
God, you smell like the ringmaster.
Can anything be in the Guinness Book of World Records
if you do it the most?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, there's a whole like committee that decides.
Well, Fred Guinness is ultimately in charge.
That's true.
Yeah, so he's in Ireland though, so why do you have-
Can I do the most built team?
The most built team, so like number of participants
or just the-
What's the biggest team that you've built?
Maybe the longest egg drop.
Yes, well you said-
Or the longest distant egg on spoon.
I actually think those probably would be in there.
The highest egg drop that were the-
I'm gonna think about that.
Okay, let us know because I can put you in touch
with Fred if you want.
I would love that, contacting you.
You gotta get largest team built.
Yeah. Or just most team built is what you have gotta get largest team built. Yeah.
Or just most team built.
Most team built.
Most built team.
Most built team.
So the amount of how built they are would be in there.
Jack, I mean, Nightwolf,
I don't know why I keep calling you Jack.
I don't know either.
But good luck to him, certainly.
I really hope if somebody reaches out to Jack
and gets him a job, the guy's really, really struggling.
Oh, man.
Okay, can I ask you, I'm saying goodbye to you now.
Why are you reaching into your, is that a Merse?
My utility belt?
I mean, it looks more like a-
It's large, yes.
A man bag.
Yeah.
Yeah, why are you reaching into this right now?
Just cause we're saying goodbye.
What do you have in there?
Oh my, is that another diamond necklace?
Are you giving that to us?
Well, I think, did you mean to reach in there
for a smoke bomb and you pulled out
a different diamond necklace?
I did.
You threw the diamond necklace on the ground.
Okay, let me just get this back and...
Everybody look over there for a second.
I don't want you to throw another smoke bomb.
Ow, my eyes!
Alright, thank you!
Wait, we have to go to Bryant's.
Alright, we'll go to Bryant's.
I don't think that's a good idea, Krushchev.
I'll be in, run!
Bye! Hero! No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
