Get off a comedy bang bang, comedy bang bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang. Comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang. Comedy bang, bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang. Get off my plane. Bagel. Welcome to Comedy Bang bang. Thank you to Food Court Bayliff for that catchphrase submission. Apparently there's a bailiff in the food court. Oh, my God.

I may have enjoyed Food Court bailiff more than the catchphrase itself. Absolutely. Food court bailiff, I want to know everything about that. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang, Indeed. This is another episode. I don't exactly know what number episode this is, but welcome to the show. My name is Scott Ockerman, and we have a great one today coming up a little later. We have a someone who works in a factory. Great. So packed show just there. Great.

Play the theme song. But no, unfortunately, we already did that. What? Yeah. Did you miss it? God damn. Do you want to hear it again? Yep.

All right. Here we go. Great. Can you do it at 1.5? Uh-huh. Comedy Bang Bang Bang! Comedy Bang Bang! Comedy Bang!

Comedy bang bang! Comedy bang! Eating cake Jehosa fat, jumping Jehosa Skinny. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thanks to Food Court Bayliff from that catchphrase submission. Wait, what? Food court bailiff submitted... Sent in two at the same time, apparently.

Oh, rise. Oh, my God! Wait! Is he here? Food Corps Bayliff? I'm the food court bailiff. Whoa! Here you, hear you.

The food court is now in session. Okay. Who's the, with judges presiding? Boo-do, boom. Bo-do, bo-do, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo. Okay. It's a people's court theme song. Boom-boom.

Oh, yeah. Boo-bon-bon. This is exciting. The food court bailiff made an appearance. Wait, this is the food court. No, this is the studio. Where am I? Did you just wake up, food court bail?

I got a hit on the head. But now that... Now that you mentioned... Pied orange Julius. Those are soft. We are missing our studio bailiff. Oh, shoot, what? We normally have a studio bailiff.

Wait, was there some sort of a... What's that swapping movie? I want to say parent-trapping Friday. Freaky fright. Was there a freaky, look down at your body? Is this the right body? This isn't what I look like. You're in the studio bailiff's body.

Oyo, ooy, ooy. Oh, my God. And your boner. And you're a cartoon? I have to get to the food court. All right. Food court bailiff. We'll check in with you another time. Food court. Owee! Oh, yeah. Boom, boom, boom. Wow, that was exciting. Wow. What a day. I mean, we are. Two theme songs. Fresh out of the gate. Two theme songs. Two catch phrases. And an appearance by the food court bailiff. Who's been freaky Friday? I mean, this is now, as I can understand.

We're not going to touch any of that. I would imagine. From now on, we're moving forward. The studio bailiff is going to make his way from the food court to hear. He figures out what happens. I would assume so. Now, can we do the show without a bailiff? Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. I'm so sorry. I'm like, what happened? I see a studio bailiff. Yeah. I know I don't look like myself. I know, but I can tell just from your general vibe who you are. Yeah, to be the studio bail.

Oh, gosh. Well, what's going on? No. Well, even though you don't look like yourself, we can tell in there it's you. Is the studio in session? Yeah, studios in session, although I guess we brought it into session without your assistance. The wrong bailiff brought us all to order. You didn't, he'd be to start the studio?

Well, the food court bailiff. You know what? We should do it again. Play the, play the thing song. All right, here we go. Bow, bow. Meet the plaintiff, Scott Ackerman. He has a show he wants to do.

And the defendant. Jason Manzuka He has a show he'd like to ruin Who will win? Have they brought receipts? This is Comedy Bang Bang. Oh, yeah. Wow, incredible.

Well, thanks, Studio Bailey. I'm sorry, is there not a catchphrase to start this? No, that was it. Oh, that's it. Wow, incredible. Thanks, Studio Bayliff. You got it. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.

I'm going to go home. Submitted by Food Court. Bayliff again. This guy is prolific. All right, Studio Bailiff. We'll see you later. Bye. Wow, an incredible day for us here. Holy shit.

I want to introduce the person to my right. He's immediately to my right. And he... Immediately. When I called him to be on the show, he immediately came down here, sat to my right. He is, of course, the host of his own podcast. How did this get made? Oh, correct emphasis.

Thank you. Thank you. And he was on the league as... What was your name? Jerry. Jerry the League. Jerry the League. Jerry the League.

Yep. Yeah. That would be my whole thing. Oh, yeah. You jerry the league. He's the TikTok man in the John Wick franchise. Oh, yes. Please welcome.

But really, the dink, the dink, man. The dink thing. The dink man. In the CBB of her. Franchise.

And he's currently a character in the astonishing Spider-Man where he hosts a podcast with J Jonah Jameson. That's my, that's the, actually delete all the other credits. That's the only credit I want. Please welcome Jason Manzukas. Wow, thanks.

Thank you, Scott. Thank you. Wow. What an exciting new year, new everything. Here we are three, three theme songs. New energy. Three catchphrases. Multiple new characters.

Oh, this is, I love what's happening to comedy bang, bang, bang. Holy shit. I mean, in its 15th year, never been stronger. Never been stronger. Almost 60. I mean, this is our 16th year technically. Oh, this show is legal. This show is barely legal right now.

Am I right? Barely legal? I don't think 16 is... You referred to the show earlier off, Mike, as barely legal. I did not. You said CBB is barely legal. I believe the 18th year would be barely legal. I don't know about that.

Hang on, I got to do some Googling. Okay. And we're back and I was wrong. Jay Dogg, so great to see you. What's happening, Scotty? What is happening indeed? I, uh, now normally you come on the show and you are not promoting really anything. Nope, because I, I'm not, I'm not here to promote.

I'm not here to sell. sell myself or my wares, I'm here for you. That's usually, but you did say that you really wanted to promote a new film that just came out. It's called Dred Zeppelin, a song of hope. And it's a documentary about Dread Zeppelin. Is that right? Well, I'm not going to laugh. I have watched all one hour and 22 minutes.

Wait, you watched this too? Oh, because I watched it. You watched it too? Oh, yeah. Well, I always watched the movies. I never thought you would have done it. Now, I watched it, and I will say, they cut all my interviews out. You were interviewed for this.

I was interviewed at length. I did, and they cut it all out. I was interviewed for the Sparks movie. The Sparks Brothers at the same time as they were asking me Dred Zeppelin questions. Wow. So all your answers. Edgar would ask a Sparks question and then the director of this movie would ask me a Dred Zeppelin.

Oh, so it was a double interview. That's smart. Yeah. That's smart. So you're wearing the same outfit in both. Exactly. And then they just cut everything out. I don't know.

So that's weird. Yeah, because we're such huge Dred Zeppelin fans. Massive Dred Zepplin. fans. I mean, we're dreadheads. Of course. Now, if you don't know who we're talking about, who could blame you? Then turn this off because you're not going to enjoy the rest of the show. And turn 50. We urge you, audience, to enjoy

this year of comedy bang, bang, turn 50. But this is a movie that I guess we both have watched, even though they did not use our interviews. And it just tells the, and chronicles, really, the entire history of Dreadseppel. Oh, yes.

The soup to nuts, top to bottom, T to B. The band that plays reggae versions of Led Zeppelin songs with an Elvis impersonation. Yes. All different cover songs in a slightly reggae heavy metal version. Yes, and it has an Elvis impersonator as the lead singer. Yes, Tortel. Tortel. Yes.

Whose real name is John Tortel. Yes. As told in the movie. Here's the thing. We're preaching to the converted, right? Sure. Because you guys all know all of this. My assumption is that this audience has also watched the documentary, which is available for free on YouTube.

That's right. And I guess. It looked like you were going to jump in. No, I was, I thought you were, because you went on YouTube. Yes. That sort of implies that I have, you know, another half of a sentence to go. Oh, yes. That you've watched it on YouTube and.

And you've retained all of the information. Obviously, as we have. And you've taken copious notes as I did. We've, of course, seen the interview. with Carl Zha. Cheese. Ed Zeppelin. Holy cow.

The twins. Spice. The twins who both played Ed Zeppelin. That is a piece of information. That's maybe the only salient piece of information that I can still conjure up from my watching. That's right. Which ended 10 minutes ago as I was parking.

Really? I ended it about 10 minutes ago. You don't remember two guys got interviewed in the same pool. Shibby! Oh, Shibmy! Hey, what's going on? Shimmy, Shimmy, Kokoabob. Shimmy, wow, what's going on? Hey, with Tom Hanks.

Who got interviewed in the same pool? There's two guys, and they both got interviewed standing in a pool. I remember one guy with a pool and a floaty behind. I'm sorry. Scott, you're jumping straight over it. Shimmy, have you seen the documentary about Dred Zeppelin? Of course I have. I'm 50.

Okay. I was wondering how old you were, Shibby? Yeah. I'm exactly 50. Today? Today's my birthday. Happy birthday, Shimmy. When you turn 50, you have to watch this documentary.

And you watched it on your birthday. I did. How I like to celebrate. Watch a documentary. That's too long. You thought 88 minutes was too long? I thought all the information could have been conveyed in 25 minutes. I would say a quick 15.

I'll be honest. This is Dred Zeppelin. This Dread Zeppelin, the band and the documentary. They explained what Dred Zeppelin was many times. So many times. And they played full performances. that were not incredibly well recorded. Yes.

This documentary is like the Hogwarts letter that arrives when you turn 11. Yes. When you turn 50, you get sent to DVD, yes. Or a hyperlink arrives in your mail and you got to watch it. Well, happy birthday, Shemmy. How else are you going to celebrate? Thanks, man. What?

How else are you going to celebrate? Um, I'm probably going to take a walk on the beach. Oh, wonderful. Okay. Which beach? Which one? See, that's what I said. Yeah.

Are you looking for recommendations? Yeah. Which beach did I go to? Oh, wow. I mean, of course, Venice Beach, popular here, you know, you get to see all the boardwalk. The muscle man. You get to see the girls in the bikies. Oh, so you know.

You get to see the skateboarding dog. Sounds like you've been there many times. I love it. You're selling me on Venice Beach. Okay. Randy Newman. So why not just go there? Why do you need recommendations if you love it so much?

I won't try something new. Oh, okay. Well, I'm sure you could hop on a plane and get to the East Coast in time. Sure. Mertel Beach? Sure. What about Jones Beach? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Yeah, I'm not. Maybe I'll go to England and go to one of those beaches. It's all rocks. Oh, wouldn't that be cool? Let's see. How long is the flight to there? It's like nine hours or something like that?

Not by the Concord. Oh, really? You and Phil Collins. That's right. We've got to get a Concord. We're best friends. When are we going to get that back? Wait, hold on.

Wait a second. You're best friends with Phil. Collins? Yeah, but who cares about that? We do. We've got a lot of questions. You find that interesting? Of course we do, Schimmie. We have questions about many of the tracks on the Lamb Night's down on Broadway. Hey, Shimmy, we've got to get going if we're going to have a good time at the beach. All right, Phil.

Oh, no, one second. Phil. That's Phil. Phil is here? Phil, come in. We want to talk to you. No, I'm just Shimmie's ride to the beach. That's all just one of putting.

No, Phil, we're a huge fan. We want to talk to you. Oh, no. This is a comedy bank, Scott, Akramarman, Jason Mattox. It's Jimmy's birthday. please all attention on Shimmy. From you as a drummer to you as a frontman, your career has been absolutely incredible. But I want to focus on Shimmy for his birthday.

I really, I hate the idea that I would take attention away from you in any way today, Shimmie. Hey, man, your friendship is all I need for my birthday. Hey, Phil, you're 73. Did you watch this Dred Zeppelin documentary 23 years ago? Oh, Song of Hope. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that. Of course I have.

You have. I've seen it a few times. I love it. What did you think about it? Oh, I love it. It's so funny. I love the part where the guy's ball

was accidentally in a photograph. It was amazing. I mean, to have that happen. He was the second funniest member. Oh,

yes, he was so funny. And once the first funniest member left, the second funniest member became the front man. Step up to the plate. Of course he did.

You know, they didn't use any of my interviews in that. Oh, you were interviewed of course. I was interviewed about Dred Zepplin.

Yes. It wasn't just Robert Plant. Yeah, I was going to say because Robert Plant, they do manage. He figures in, yeah, in an enormous manner.

Yes. Well, I actually came out before him and said that I liked Dred Zeppelin. Plant was copying you? Well, I don't know about that, but I was the first person to sort of say like, they're all right, you know? Check him out.

They're all right. Yeah, not exactly a ringing endorsement. Maybe that's why they didn't use it. Everybody, calm down. They're more afraid of you than you are of them. Shibi, you guys just have such a great friendship. It's obvious to us. Yeah, we do.

Where did you meet? Yeah. What a great, yeah. Shimmy and I, you were going for a walk on the beach and I've got a place out there. That's right. And I was sort of using my binoculars

to sort of look at people on the beach. Yeah, it was Doc Wiler State Beach. That's right. That's where my house is. Well, Phil Collins has a home. Yes, and that is my doctor. Yeah, wow. Oh, he's your doctor as well?

Doc Wiler, yes. Okay. So you both live there on his beach and he's your doctor. Well, if you are a patient of Doc Wiler's State Beach. Yeah. Okay. Got it.

So it's in state? It's in state beach. If you're a patient of Doc Writers, you can buy a home of the compound. And so that's what I've done. And now, Shimmy's a musician as well. Did you bond over that? Oh, I forgot. You forgot?

You've done so much, Shimmy. We did talk about that. We wrote an entire album. What? What? It's called The Lame Gets Back Up. And leaves Broadway? And takes it right on Fibmyth.

that's all in parentheses wow I mean the carpet crawlers is there a sequel to that perhaps sure which is one of the most famous songs on the Y

absolutely everybody knows it including me we got to be honest pretty high didn't we and we did up we really explored Susudio

we got to know more about Susudio we added four more sous oh whoa so you guys went back into the studio for Susudio so Sue Sue Sue Sue Sue Sue Sue Sue

Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. That's seven sous. Yeah. Wow. For seven brothers. Who are the brothers? Well, you got Eddie. Uh-huh.

Yeah. You got Joey. You got Petey. You got Philly. I think we have almost all the Ramones. You got Bobby. Ricky. You got Ricky.

You got Ricky. This D.D. The seven brothers. That's the lore on Susudio. They're all married to a Sue. Sudio. Sue. Studio is a woman's name?

Yeah, just like George Foreman named all his kids George. Wow. Some guy named all his daughter Sue. Incredible. His name is Stu. Stu Studio. Stu Studio. When is this coming out?

The album? Yes. What do you think I was talking about? Would you still put on the finishing? Oh, whoa, whoa. How long ago did you? It's got to be perfect. This was years ago, I think, but it's got to be just right.

Is that where you're going right now? To tinker with it? It feels right. We might. It's your birthday. We'll go lie down on some rocks and just start dreaming about the album being finished. Oh, the band lies down on Broadway, right? Huh?

On the rocks? It's like Chinese democracy except no one's waiting for it. I mean, this is the first anyone's heard about it. Do you guys have buckethead in your band? I think he did come in for a track or two, didn't he? He did. We had Steve Lukather. Thank God.

From Toto? One of the greats. Yon Rock Pioneer. No, we don't say that to him. He doesn't like to be classified as that. Not as old. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah.

Of course we got Michael McDonald. Yeah. Michael McDonald is involved? Yep. Michael McDonald and Phil Collins together. I've always wanted to hear that combination. Oh my God. It's just everything you would dream.

Well, I want to put this out. Well, it's almost ready. It's so close. I mean, what is there left to do? You know, we can't find us. someone to play harmonica. Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan.

Toots Theelman. Yes. They all said no. Bob Billis. They all said no. Neil Young. I bet you could get Timothy Shalame. He learned to play harmonica for the movie.

You know what it was. Get Timmy in. We started with John Popper and he said no. And it sort of took the window of ourselves. Once Popper says no, word gets around. Yeah. We really want to hear because he has so many harmonicas. He's got a vest full of them.

Hey, maybe we could get to whoever. played that dumb bass harmonica on the beach boys album you know who had a great harmonica player was um uh dread zepplin they had a one oh wait what was uh the harmonica player in dread zeppelin i don't think that they were represented in this movie no i think was jar paul jones on harmonica no i think jopold jones play harmonica wow it's a multi-instrumentalist yeah you're thinking of jaw paul joe of Of course. Oh, Joe. Not job pole Joe.

Job Paul Joe. That's right. Yeah. The late Job Paul Joe. Yeah. You know, one of the things in this documentary is that they don't tell you that he died, just that he was the driving force of the band. And he's never interviewed.

And he's never interviewed. After a while, you figure out, well, this guy ain't around a lot. And when they have, like, archival footage of him, he's the only person saying, like, thoughtful, interesting things about the band. He also has, like, a point of view. Yeah. Well, that's because they cut my interviews. Yeah.

I'm sorry, Phil. This is terror. Have you ever been cut out of anything before? I mean. Mike and the mechanics. Oh, good point. That's a real, real tough one. How did you feel when you heard about Mike and the mechanics and then you find out you're not a mechanic?

I was furious because of the chaps in that band. I'm the only one who really can fix a car. You can fix a car? Of course I can. Is that how you fucked up your back? Yes, rolling in and out of cars. Yeah. That's dangerous work.

I've told you to put padding on that little slide. I know. But I thought I'd build up enough scabs over time. Oh, God. Can I see your scabs? What is it all on your back? Yes. Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, that's so nary. Your entire back is a scab. Yes, it is. Always will be. That's what Doc Wiley says. Take off your newsboy hat. Let's see your.

Oh, my God, your entire bald head is a scab now. You're all scabbed up, bro. I know. I have the. cars on a hydraulic lift, but it isn't tall enough. So I just scrape my head along the bottom of the car all the time. Lifted up one inch higher.

You're not a big man. I know. You got ripped off. The point is, I can fix a car. Okay, okay. I should have been in the band. I'm sorry. None of the rest of the mechanics is anyway at all. Yeah. You're right. Also, how many guys are in there that are the mechanics?

It's Mike and what, two other guys? well you of course you have it's like it's the rest of the guys from jettison paul carrick of course who sang tempted with squeeze yeah uh adrian lee peter van hook paul young oh so it's a lot like dude anthony drennan tim hower luke juby luke juby i mean if juby's there you know it's gonna be good

lu juby that guy who's in miking mechanics hey speaking of the music man yeah oh boy shibby have you ever watched it yeah i love it okay uh do you know i'll watch it on my four and a half birthday. You did. Yeah. I forget what our, what our latest argument

is about the music band. Me and you? No, no, not you and me. You and me are on the same page, usually. But I have this doctor who fixed my foot.

Dr. Vinny Boomba? No, Dr. Bill Blondie, of course. And also. Dr. Mel Melman? No, Bing Lujo as well. Dr. Feel good? No. Dr. Freak in Beverly?

I already said who it was. And then this other guy, Bing Luzo, and we had some sort of a disagreement about the music man, but I can't remember what it was anymore. Was it whether or not the and was a fantasy or just a fast forward in time? Yeah, it could have been about that, but I don't recall. And that was, you both felt strongly enough about it to be an argument?

I think so, like a real shouting match, as I recall. I don't know that musical as well as some people do, but are the, is the number of other instruments specified? Well, there's 76 trombones. I know the 76 trombones. 110 cornettes. Okay. They were close at hand. Oh, they were close at hand.

They weren't part of the band. What's the makeup of the rest of the band? There's rows and rows of the finest virtuosos. Okay. Thousands and thousands of people in this band. Too many. Too many people. When you think about trombones,

70. No, when you think about them. Yeah. 76. Tremendous number. In a standard band, you're not going to have more than maybe five at the most. I was going to say four. Maybe two in like, maybe.

An orchestra. And that's why I wonder, is it that, is it that, is it that, Everything else is as large as the trombone section relative to. Meaning, Yes, yes, proportionally. That's what I should hope. Otherwise, you'd have 76 trombones and two drummers. So you'd probably have, you know, 20 timpony players.

Or 162 saxophone players. So many. I mean, like, these are giant numbers. Think of the amount of stuff being just blown out through the spit valves of this band. Oh, God. Just disgusting. Well, guys, I know you got to get on. this Concord, Jimmy, you only have a few hours left

in your birthday. Gotta go. I mean, your famous catchphrase. This time you mean it. I've never meant it more than now. Gotta go. Jimmy, we'll love you. Happy birthday. Oh, that is Rod. Wow, an incredible, incredible. I mean, he's acting on Miami Vice, I didn't even get to talk to him about.

Oh, we never got to talk to him about Buster. Oh, in the air tonight. Oh, so much. Which I used to play along with on drums. Boy, he was right. He was also an extra and a hard day's night. That's right. Wow. I didn't know that.

A hard day's night. That's incredible. He played a percussion on all things must pass, I believe. Oh, okay. Nice. George Harrison record, an incredible guy. Somebody that it would be legitimately normal for us to spend the entire episode. The entire episode with, but they had to go.

Yeah. And you know what? Good riddies. And you know what? We have to go because we have to take a break, unfortunately. But when we come back, we're going to be talking to a person who works in a factory. Can't wait. That's exciting.

Until then, enjoy these words from Jotino's Pizza, roles and tortelvis we'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this comedy bang bang we're back uh we have jason manzookas here of the northeastern manzookas yes the massachusetts manzooks that's right the mms the mass mans mansions and we have to get to our next guests we have a couple coming in here at the same time uh first of all, he works at a factory at a, making some sort of confection or a snack item. Food factory?

Some sort of food factory, I can't recall. You really can't remember that's food? Oh, wait. I know that voice. I know the voice, but I don't. You can't remember the specific kind of food that I do. I've been on this podcast. No, it's chips.

I think it's a chip guy. Oh, my God. Right? I'm not as insulted about chips as I am by popcorn. What is that? What's the theme to popcorn? which we always sing when you come on the show. No, you couldn't.

There's no reason to sing about the popcorn when I am here because I have nothing to do with popcorn. You have nothing to do with popcorn? Nothing but forever. Don't you do the salt on popcorn? Good Lord. I can't tell you. Trail mix.

I'm going to become so mad in a moment. You're not going to August out, are you? I'm going, yes. And I turn red now. It used to be green. Now it's red. We're not really good mad. Well, let me introduce you.

August Lint is here. Yes, hello. Listeners. Hello, August. August, Lint, it's chocolate. Lintz. Oh, for Christ. Lintz.

Chocolate. Yes, exactly. For Christ, thanks. Because the chocolate gets stuck in your belly button? What? Hmm. That might be why they called that chocolate, Lint, but that's not why I'm named him. I don't work amongst the chocolates.

That happens to be my name, Miss Lint. I see. I work at the Schmeiderberg pretzel factory. Oh, right. Right. Shmiderberg. I knew Smyterberg. Okay.

But in chocolate, making chocolate covered pretzel. Absolutely not. We don't believe in chocolate-covered pretzels. You don't believe in them? Well, I believe they exist. I have seen them. I know they're real. At what point were you convinced that they exist?

Yeah. I'm sure the first time I saw one, I said, okay, that's a thing that it's in the world. And nothing can be done about it now. But it took seeing one, up until you physically saw one. I think if somebody said to me, hey, I had a chocolate covered pretzel, I would probably have believed them. You would.

But no one had ever said. said that to you before you saw one. Right. But what if someone said to you, I believe the world is flat. I believe the world is flat. I would say, well, okay, I'm open to it. Okay. I'm open to the possibility that the world is flat.

I mean, you've been so many places, August. The world could be flat. Yeah. I've been to all over the world. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, could it be flat? What happens when you get to the end?

Do you go just upside down? You go upside down. Yeah, exactly. I've never been upside. down. I can tell you that. You've never been upside down. I've never had the experience of walking and becoming and feeling yourself to be upside down now. It's never, all of my travels. That moment has not occurred to me. So that's like a bucket list item. I don't think I've ever been upside down in any regard at all. So never been upside down anywhere. How do you get it? How do you get to be upside down? How do you get to be upside down? Well, I mean, you could buy some sort of workout bar, you know, gravity boots. Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to like walk on the ceiling. You wouldn't be able to move around upside down. You could hang yourself upside down. Okay, sure. Fred Astaire once, walked around on the ceiling. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, he was ripping off Lion Richie. But I've never done either one of them.

Okay. Well, the person sneezing, we have to introduce them. Oh, yeah. August Lint is here. Let's introduce him. I first encountered this young man on the comedy bang bang tour this last year. I can't remember the city. It feels like, ha. Am I supposed to say? You could if you want. Yeah. Essentially, we met in Denver.

Denver, that's right. Yes, Denver. Please welcome. He's a little boy. Mason I, Klaj. Hi. Hi, Mason. Hi, sir.

Hi. It's great to see you. It's nice to see you. Thanks for having me on the show. Yeah, it's my pleasure. This is August Lent. He's, uh, he works in a factory. Hello.

Hi. Hi. We keep spanking at the same time. You keep spanking. Spanking. When I see a little boy, Dr. Freud.

Hi, Dr. Freud. I was thinking of spanking you. But how old are you, Masons? How old? How old are you? Ten years old. Ten years old boy, yeah. And, you know, working in a factory is one of the great jobs that you could have,

possibly in your future. Factory is cool. I like it. Essentially, when you go into a factory, there's a lot of machines, and I think that's neat. That's right. There's all kinds of machines in a pretzel factory. There's the ones that make the pretzels. I guess the ones that put the salt on the present,

or do you put the salt on? I can't, no, you just inspect it to make sure. I inspect the salt. You inspect the salt to see if it's good or that the right amount has been put on? Oh, my God. It's ridiculous. I have to explain again. The salts come down on a conveyor belt toward me.

I struck the belt. I inspect each salt in front of me. I have a pile of salts that is good enough for pretzels, salts that is not good enough for pretzels. What are those salts doing in the factory? What do you mean? The salts that are not good enough to be? It seems like just bring in salt that's good enough to be on the president.

Also, how long is the belt stopped for that? That like negates the point of a conveyor belt. Seems like a coworker could just hand it to you. It stops and you organ it. That's basically a desk. I agree with that. Listen, I agree. I don't think it should be.

And it didn't used to be a machine that did this at all. It was used to be, I had a woman who would come with a tray of salts. And I would say, I'm done with this tray, and she would come and take it away. But now everything is becoming automated, and they're telling me one day they're going to come up with an automated way of testing out their salt. They won't get about it. They've already gotten rid of the salt woman.

I mean, it sounds to me like before the salt woman gets these salts on a tray, you inspect the salt so that it never even makes it to the tray. What do you mean? Wait a minute. What? What? Well, she's bringing salts to you on this tray, and you're looking at the salt saying, this is good enough, this is not good enough. Right. Do that before it gets put on the tray.

Or only buy good salt. Yes. You should go someplace closer to where the source of the salt is. You guys. Do you see what I'm saying? This is an unnecessary step. Somebody has to approve the salt for the pretzels. You're saying it should not be me.

It should be someone earlier in the process. No, it should be you, but earlier in the process. How early in the process do you have wanted to happen? Where do you get the salt from? Where does the woman that puts a... on the tray get it from. Well, she gets it from a truck.

Is she pretty? Is she pretty? I want to give you a serious answer to your question. She's got a nice face, but she's better. Butterbody? Butterbod. Total butterbod.

Totally melting. No, it was like she would wear clothes that were not revealing of her shape. And I would have her all the time. I would say, but let us see something, you know. Oh, okay.

August. This doesn't sound like a work environment. This is a work environment. What? I wouldn't say it like that. I just said like, hey, show us a little something. If I got to look at you coming and going all day. You're making eye contact with all of us in doing the hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, to insinuate curvy lady. Yeah, yeah. Well, anyway, then they turned or enjoyed a robot belt. When they turned her into it, they didn't just replace her with it. That's how it was explained to me. and sometimes I hear the machine crying. Her consciousness has been put into the machine. I hope not.

Like Phoebe Waller Bridges' characters' consciousness was put into the Millennium Falcon? It was? Who did that? What did it? I believe Lando did. In what movie? Solo. Yes.

I saw that, but I missed that. A Star Wars story. I thought that's good. My dad says that eventually all people are going to be replaced and they'll have other things to do. Like what? You know, serve their master. Oh, yeah. Mason, one thing we found out about Mason on tour, who's your dad again? Essentially.

Who's your daddy? Essentially, my dad is one of the lizard people that lives under the Denver airport. Oh, one of the lizard people that lives under the Denver airport? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And you were lost or orphaned at the airport? Is that what happened?

My dad said he found me. Yeah, he said he found. You. Yeah. So he's not your biological father. You are not half lizard person. He's the dad who stepped up. Great.

Love that. Yep. But he's a little boy. You remember your life before. Vaguely. Right. A little bit. Essentially, I remember being in a house and being in a crib.

And then essentially, I remember my dad finding me there. Right. And he found you in a house in a crib? Yeah. I thought he found you into Denver airport. No, he just stumbled upon me. Finders keepers. In a crib in someone's house.

And then he took you underneath. the Denver airport and raised you. Yeah. Lizard dad is better than no dad, I guess. Essentially. Yeah, it is essentially that. Why are the lizards living under the Denver airport? They're lizard people.

Oh, yeah, lizard people, but still, why? Half lizard, half people. Because the time isn't right yet. Wow. They're planning some sort of a hostile takeover. Oh. Like a V situation. Yeah, like a V situation.

Like a below ground V. Got it. It wouldn't be so bad. Yeah. at a time to be determined. Everybody will have a job to do. No more ladies will get turned in a conveyor belt. That's the upside.

This is distressing news to me. The whole planet's going to be taken over by little people. Is that what you're saying to say? Essentially, yeah. There are a lot of people who don't want this to happen and want to escape the earth before something like this happens. Oh, is that, yeah. It's like the important people, the political leaders.

In every country. So like the salt inspector for pretzel factories? Well, that's an interesting question. I'm curious, do the lizard people, do they have a taste for salt? Or pretzels even, I guess, but, you know, essentially, they're more of sweet than savory. Oh, wow. They're more of a sweet juice. Yeah, so like chocolate?

Cool. Could be a lot of it. Yeah. Oh, great. I love that. Do you think there could be some confusion with August's last name and lint, you know? Yeah, link chocolate, chocolate-covered pretzels. Have you thought about making chocolate instead of looking at salt?

I've never thought about it. I have no interest. I would sooner change my last name to pretzel, but I also have no plan to do that. I think people can handle that a person's name might be the same as a brand of a popular chocolate, but he makes pretzels and not chocolate. That's too bad. I think you should make lint your middle name and chocolate your last name.

That would only make worse the confusions. But maybe for the lizard people who like sweet things, this helps you? Then of course they would eat me, don't you see? They would think if you'll call yourself chocolate, someone that wants to eat chocolate might do this. Good point. I thought that they would view you as the middleman to more chocolate.

Yes, or some sort of important chocolatier. I mean, if you put chocolate in your name, that's going to be a problem, probably. But if you put the name of a famous chocolate in your name, then they might spare you. I mean, give you a job. Does your father have, like, how do I ask it, sir? Any weaknesses?

You know what I mean? He cares too much. Okay. But I'm looking for it. More of a strength, honestly. He's too punctual. Oh, whoa. Sometimes it shames other workers.

He works too hard. This is going to be tough. Yeah, these are not weaknesses. Yes. But if you can make chocolate, essentially, you would be viewed as a high value human, and you probably could wear clothes instead of just a loincloth. Wait a.

Whoa. wait a minute. Everybody else is going to be this. This isn't sounding that bad. This is starting to sound like Planet of the Apes. Not wizards.

Um, yeah, essentially humans won't be allowed to have clothes anymore. What is it about the clothes? Is it the pockets? Always able to keep a weapon in there? Um, yeah,

pockets are too sneaky. Yeah. Okay, yeah. So a non- sneaky society is what we're looking at. Um, yeah, because you don't want to have to go around saying,

like, what has it got in its pockets is? so we just take the pockets away. I have another question. Have you seen Dred Zeppelin a Song of Hope to documentary? Wait, you've seen this, August, Lynn? Oh, whoa. How old are you, August?

Oh, I'll just turn 50. Oh, welcome. Thank you. Welcome, yeah. We've seen this too. Something happened. I sleep, you know, of course, at a television in my bedroom. And at midnight, the day I turned 50, the television came on and he just playing the documentary.

Just snapped on. Wow. Just snapped on. And I watched it until 122 in the morning. But so, Mason, have you seen this? You watched it again on 1.5 speed?

I did because I thought, wait a minute, nothing interesting is in my brain from having watched that. I learned nothing. I must have missed something, but no. Do you think that you missed the names of the band members like Putman, aka But Boy? And we later see his wedding

to, as he introduces her, Mrs. Butboy. Mrs. But Boy? Charlie Hodge. Yeah, no, I missed that. You missed all that? I think I must have missed all that. Okay, yeah. So you've seen this, but Mason, have you seen this movie? Yeah.

Essentially, I watched it with my dad. Oh, did your dad just turn 50? Older dad, huh? Yeah, older dad. And essentially, what I got from it was that they had, I didn't realize they had a fake Colonel Tom Parker and also a publicist that would sometimes give interviews.

Yeah, they didn't in the years that I was seeing them back in 89 through 91 or so. That had real wrestling vibes to me. Like me and Jean, like none of these characters seem real. In any case, Lint, to call you by your last name. Lent.

August. You listen up Lint. In any case, August. That's what my wife called me. Just check the salt before it gets to the step. Oh, for Christ's sakes. The salt comes from the Dona Kill Depression in Ethiopia from the salt bed there. Okay.

Of course. Yeah. And it is chiseled up there by children. And then it is put on a boat. Okay. And then it is shipped to Germany. And then it is put on a train and then a truck. And then now it is fed into a conveyor belt to get to me.

Well, here's what you do. You get there before the conveyor belt And you tell them we want to buy this part of salt We want to buy these grains of salt We don't want to buy these You're not spending as much on salt And then you cut out the step Where you have to inspect the salt once it's out

You need to move to Ethiopia So that every piece that's chiseled by children You are signing off for Even better. So from their tiny little hands You get to pick what salt is what And whatever gets sent to the Schmeiderberg boom, it's on breath. We're going to run this up the chain.

Please don't, because I have been there. It's extremely inhospitable. You've been there on vacation? Yes, of course. I've taken a vacation to the Drona Kill Depression, specifically in Ethiopia. It is a thermal sulfuric surface. It is extremely hot. It is dangerous.

It is a geothermal field. It can burst into flame amongst your feet at any moment. We're going to run this up the chain. We're going to run it up the chain. Please don't. I don't want to move there. Yes. Yes, Mason.

Is that the only place to get salt? Well, it's the only place that Schmeiderberg pretzel sauce is at salt. We have a special deal there. What's the deal? What's the deal with salt? There was a deal that Doolman Schmeidberg made that it specifies there will be children, laborers who can be scalded by geothermal activity at any moment. So he didn't care about the price at all.

He just wanted to make sure it was children? Somehow. Yeah. Well, there is a belief that kids pick up. the best salt. That's true. The tiny fingers? Exactly. Yes. That's good for picking, but not for inspecting. Okay. Well, it is the discernment of an

adult. No offense, Mason. And I'm taken. Well, look, guys, we have to take a break here. But there was something you came here to talk about. Wasn't there August? Oh, yeah. You're able to just quickly tell it? Well, no, I want you to tease it because we're going to take a break. And

when we come back, you can tell everyone. I have a dire warning for the people of your country. Oh, no. What? We'll be right back after the end. All right, we'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang Bang. We are back here. Jason Manzukas is here.

Wow. Promoting the movie, A Song of Hope. Dread Zeppelin. Dread Zeppelin. Documentary. When they do prints, I mean, they do a prince song. They did a print song. It was gorgeous.

Purple rain. Incredible. I'm thinking that there was like a, they're doing the king and the prince was the joke. Oh. Oh, interesting. Not that they explained it. Why didn't they do any of the Bowie, thin white Duke era? Yeah, or any of Queen.

Yeah, under pressure. Yeah. To get both of those guys in there? Yeah. I guess why didn't they do any of those songs? I thought about that. The Duke met Queen. The thin white Duke, that is.

Do you feel like maybe it wasn't worth thinking about it? That's how come you didn't? Yeah, probably. I feel really disappointed that I thought of it. And they're eligible for a doctor. into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The documentary makes that clear. This is really interesting,

especially for Scott, for you and I, because we've talked quite a bit about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah. Oh, I've been there. Is that what you mean? No, no.

We've talked about it. We've talked about it because one of the guys who comes on the show frequently is always talking about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and getting the vocal group. The,

that Acapella group? Yes. Does the Christmas albums these days? Yes. Who are they? or Shanana. Shana. Shana.

Shania. Shania. Shanaia Twain. She's, she's made, Hey, boys. Hey boys indeed. Hey boys. Hey boys.

What's the name of the guy that talks about them? Uh, do you, do you recall what it is? I remember, I remember he's a water skier. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I know who you're talking about. It's, um, what's up, uh, uh, what's up? What's up? Wait, how does it go? He goes, you used to start the song, it would be like,

bab-b-b-b-d-b-d-b-d-b-b-d-b-b-b-b-and-b-and-and it would be. You would say, what would you say? What would you used to start the show with? Before you did, like, user-submitted catchphrases. How's it going? Cool. How's it going, cool cats? How's it going, cool cats? It was cool cat.

Yeah. It was the character, Cool cat. Cool cat. He's, like, super obsessed with getting an a cappella band into the rock and roll. Pentatonics. Pentatonics. Pentatonics. Yes.

Pentatonics. Is it pentatonic? I think it's the ones that did Carmen San Diego. Oh, yeah. Rockapella? Rockapella.

I'm 90% charge. How do you know Rockefeller, Mason? I'm a kid. Cool cat. Oh, God, Mason goes Rockabella. Cool cat's obsessed with cats.

This is, Cool cat is obsessed with a cat. What's up? Cool cat. Well, it's me. Cool cat. I hurt my name.

Oh my God. Cool cat. You're back. You're back, baby. Yeah. I'm trying to get pentitonic into the Rock and roll. Holyfeet.

Oh, you do. It's pentatonic, not, it's not Rockapella. Okay, we were wrong. Great. Okay, it's, it is Pentatonics. Are they even eligible? Pentatonics. Yeah.

25 years since their first record. That's all it takes, man. Their origin is 2011. Okay, we have a problem. We have a while. I think it might have been Rockapella. That's what I said, Rockapel. Oh, okay.

Yeah, because you, that was your thing. You kept saying you're a Rockefeller fella. That's right. I mean, they've been a lot of it. around since 1986. So obviously they're, they're eligible. Who said Pentatonic? I said Rockefeller.

Yeah, of course you said Rockefeller. Where in the world am I? Whoa. I'm Ernie Rocks, the lead singer of Rockefeller? Ernie. Ernie Ross. How did I get here? I don't know.

How did you get here? You might have been conjured. We said the word Rockefeller a bunch of times. Did you say Rockefeller and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Yeah. That was it. That's what did it. Oh, wow.

Wow. Hey, are you cool cat? Your biggest fan. I'm Cool cat, your biggest fan. Oh, man, I'm your biggest fan. Get out of here. It's true. Cool cat.

I love everything you do. Everything. Everything. Now, Cool cat, by the way, we should describe you. It's so cool to see these two people. You're a 10 foot tall cat. And you are freezing cold. Your paws are under your armpits.

You're shivering. I like the way your breath comes out in little clouds. Wherever I am, it's cold. I don't know, man. Yeah, the temperature has dropped 30 degrees in the spring. By the way, I don't mind it. I like to chill this day out. Yeah, it's because I'm so cool.

You are cool, but you're also, you're not cool in the way that, like, you know, we describe it as like, what a cool guy. You're very dorky. Like the fons? Yeah, yeah, like the fun. I should just say, fuck. Hey, I know who that is. I'm in my 50s. Hey.

Ernie rocks, right? Yeah. I'm trying to be cool. You're succeeding. I mean, you're cool temperature-wise, but you're... I know, but I want to be cool. I think you're cool in all the ways. Thanks, rocks.

But you're wearing glasses. You have a pocket protector. You're wearing high water pants. You're wearing clothes. You are wearing clothes. You have feline acne. First of all. I keep up.

sunglasses and the glass falls out and they look like nerd glasses. Okay, that's what it is. It keeps happening. Every time I buy a pair of sunglasses. The lenses fall off. Sure, but, you know, you can take care. When did this happen? Just on my way here today.

Then why just take the frames off? But then I'm going to lose them. Okay, well, yeah. I don't want to get the lenses. Do you go to the same place to buy sunglasses every time? I go to the sunglasses hut. I'm hunting a beach. Maybe don't go there anymore.

Is that just a kiosk in the mall? My app. Nope. It's a sunglasses. It's a hut. It's a physical store. I'm down there all the time because I'm a surfer. You're a surfer, really?

But cats hate water. I know. Can you imagine if you went surfing there's a 10-foot cat? Just surfing? That'd be fucking terrifying. Actually, I'd love to see cool cat. go up against the lizard dad. The lizard dad, yeah, or this other guy that I know from, I mean, Cool Cat, you've been on

the show multiple times. Oh, we love Cool Cat. So it was another guy, this guy that we used to conjure by saying. I would love a cool cat. Yes. Like a, yes? I was saying, we used to conjure him by saying, what's up, hot dog? Oh, you did.

Oh, God damn. I was trying to force off. Hey, hot dog. Hey, what's going on? Who the fuck is this? Uh-oh. This is, I hate to say about a surfer. Oh, what?

A surfer, cool cat. Cool cat is here, hot dog. Yeah, I'm sorry. And I know this is hard. We've summoned you both at the same time. Oh, Hot Dog is so mad. I'm so sorry. Hot dog is red in the face.

He's so mad. Why the fuck would you bring me here when there's a surfer here, man? I'm sorry, man. The war between the surfers and the water skiers, I totally forgot about it when I conjured you both here. And it's hotter than ever right now. The war is.

Sure, but not in this room. because obviously... It's really cold in here, man. Why is it so cold? Interestingly, you guys... Essentially, it's because the 10-foot cat makes things cold in here. I'm a little kid. Hi.

Hey, this is Mason. Eye-clodge. Yeah, Mason Ignatius Klaj. Yeah. Hi. What's going on, Mason? If you had to choose between water skiing and surfing, which one's cooler?

Essentially, I would have to say ice skating is the coolest. Oh, very diplomatic. And also, hot dog, this is Ernie. rocks. The lead singer of Roccapella. Rockopella. Oh, cool.

All right. Rockefeller. Who are in the world? I don't know. I don't know Rockefeller. What's Rockefeller? Rockapella is a vocal

group that's trying to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We are not pentatonic. It is an Acapella singing group began in the 80s. Uh-huh. Who were seeking. They were formed in New York City in 1989.

Seeking induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, this is what I have to say. Yes. In case you're a, wondering their name is a portmanteau of rock and acapella. Where in the world do we go to fill out our ballots?

Look, the entire Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needs to be shut down until Shana and I gets in there. Nobody else. What? That's it. Shut it down? Shut it down. Shut it down. Even the museum aspect of it?

Even the museum aspect of it. So not just admission. No new members. You're saying shut the whole thing. It's time to take extreme action because it has been so long that Shanaana has been eligible. They are dying off. They are no longer performing live shows. We've seen their website.

Yeah. It's time to get Shanaanaa into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No more fucking around. Okay. So this sounds like a verbal threat. Oh, wait a minute. What did I say? Who's that threatening?

The Rocker Roll Hall of Fame. As an entity, I guess. All of the employees. Until your band gets in. You're going to shut them down. Yes, I am calling out to all of my followers out there. We are going to descend upon the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Descend?

Who are your followers? We're January 16th. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Why not? What's the downside? They're all available. So let's do it. We'll be wild.

I want all my J6 hostages. Hostages? Yes. Oh, dear. To descend upon the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's our next target. So that's just the congressman and women. My dad has some friends who live under the rock and roll hall of fame.

But I can tell them to stand down and stand by. Yeah, this might be something to do. Cool cat didn't like any of this. Cool cat. I almost forgot Cool cat was here. Did you know the neat pentatotics comes from the pentagram? They're bad dudes. Oh, so you think they're evil.

They're bad. They're bad people. Does Sean Anah and Pentatonics, have they? ever collaborated. Not to the best of my knowledge. No. By the way, I'm on shanaana.com. And it has, it's a four-step process.

Let it be known. Seanana will no longer tour as a concert group. This is like the Ringo Star announcement. To our fans, thank you for your support over five decades of rock and roll. To our musicians, thank you for all your talent and dedication. Yeah. To all. Good night, sweetheart.

Is this how the musicians found out that they weren't going to be played for Shanaanaymore? The touring band? But you can still get all the CDs and great shana no merchandise. Click here. Yeah. Well, you know, the sad thing is they probably did because they were booked onto the Maltchop memories cruise. That's right. Across the Gulf of America.

This was about a year and a half ago or so. Uh-huh. And they split up before they could do the cruise. Oh, that's heartbreaking. It is sad. It's really sad. And they, yeah, wow. And how many, you said they're dying off?

How many are left? It's almost incalculable. How many did they start out? Incalculable. Exactly. You might not know their names, but it's certainly calculable. Of course, I know their names. Original members of the band, Donny York is still kicking.

Any relationship? Oh, go ahead. Sorry. Well, York peppermint patties? I get the sensation. You know, That makes things cool. It's like a cool cat.

Hey, cool cat. If you remember those commercials, you're in your 50s. What the lizard people eat Donny York because he sounds like a chocolate? Mason. If his name was Donny York, Pepperman Patty, maybe. What about Jocko Marcellino? Oh, yeah, Jock's still alive. The original drummer and Woodstock Veteran.

Of course. You can't keep Jock down. What about John Bouser Bowman? Oh, John Bouser Bauer is still alive, of course. All right, that's good to hear. Ernie, for rockapella, was Shanaana a, like, significant? Was that, did they inspire you? Another, like, vocal harmony?

Or were they inspirations? We were inspired by, um, Shanaana. We were inspired by the Buffalo Bills from the music man. We were inspired. So you've seen the music band, reason. Yeah, man. I love it. I watch it every day.

Every day. It's two and a half hours long. So you must have all of the information that you were looking for earlier in terms of settling in. what our argument was about it. I got it. Okay. A rockapella's still touring, right, man? Oh, yeah. We're going to be on the malt shop memories.

Cruise. What? Meow! Cool cat, we'd be honored if you would join us on the cruise to introduce us. I'll be surfing right behind you. Wow. Holy shit. Not a good place to introduce a band from.

He's surfing right behind them. Surfing the wake. All right, it's negotiable. Surf in front of them. And then introduce them and then surf away. Maybe you can, you know, catch up with him after that. Ladies and gentlemen, Rockella. Oh, Cool Cat, we love you.

Fuck, man. Cool Cat's so cool. Hot Dog, like, is it hard to see Cool Cat just, just hitting home run after home run? Cool Cat was just already invited to join Rockapella. And you, Hot Dog, spent years trying to get into Shana, only to be rebuffed every single time. And Cool Cat already on the tour, already on the cruise. Well, you know, look, I didn't come here.

to start any troubles, but I would say like it's not really so excited to get invited into a band like rockabella. I'm talking about Sean on now. That's a whole just to be clear and insult received but we did not invite Cool Cat

to be a member of the band just to introduce us on the tour. Cool Cat, I hope that's clear. I'm sorry Cool Cat. Did you think you were a member of the band? I mean, but you, even you said you'd be surfing right behind us. We can't, that doesn't help us as a band.

I'm genuinely heartbroken by Cool cat's reaction. Cool cat is breaking my heart right now. Oh, man, I feel terrible now. I didn't mean to, I didn't need to do that. Oh, it's all right. Cool, cow, you're licking your paws. It got even colder in a circle, yeah. Cool cat's licking a patch of fur until it's raw.

Oh, no, Cool cat, don't get a hot spot. I have a skin allergy to rejection. Oh, Cool cat. Well, Hot Dog and Coolcat, you're kind of in the same boat now. You've both been rejected by your idols. And that boat is not the Maljop Memories Cruise. Yeah, that's right. And that boat is going to drop one of you off at a surf spot and one of you off at a water ski spot.

Listen, don't I have a dire warning for your nation? Oh, right. How did we forget about that in Ireland? We've totally forgotten about this. All seven of us have forgotten about that dire warning. I don't think I was here. Oh, cool cat. Oh, and hot dog as well.

I don't think you were here either. Maybe Ernie wasn't here either. Don't tell me Petitonics is finally some in the dark lord. Oh, no. By the way, that is probably what they're up to. Yeah. Yeah, this is August Lenton. And he has a dire warning for America or the nation or the world.

Just for America. And we'll find out about it after this break. No, I don't know. We don't have any more breaks. Sorry. Sorry. I misunderstood. Oh.

Okay. Then it's time for me for tell you. don't buy Greenland. I have been there on a barefoot walking tour of Greenland. It is. A barefoot walking tour. Yeah, you can take a barefoot, you know how you sign up for the barefoot walking tour.

Oh, sure. Is this an Ina Garten thing? A barefoot contessa? I wish, because then there might have been food. There is just a barefoot walking tour of Greenland. It is so incredibly inhospitable. They call it the Greenland, but there's no green in there. It's one of those ironic titles, right?

I guess so. They was being so. Who names their country sarcastically? Yeah. I think it's a prank. What do you mean? It's a prank country. Well, fuck it then.

But I would say, look, if you buy it, you cannot be able to do anything visit. The only thing that they have the nicest thing, truly in the whole land of Greenland, is a prison. They have a beautiful new prison. Oh. How do you know? Well, because I try to steal a pair of shoes. Oh, no. I know.

Yeah, but it's a beautiful prison. It's in the city of Newk. Hmm. And it's just gorgeous. It's modern. It's really cool. How long were you there? I was there for only 18 weeks.

Oh, okay. So that's like a short vacation. Yeah, that's like, yeah. But they had, that was throwing a book at me. August, you mentioned a dire warning for us, though. This doesn't sound dire to me. Like, we buy it, we don't buy it. Who cares?

I'll be honest. The warning that the lizard people are about to attack the planet from underneath the Denver airport is a much more dire warning. Yeah. And honestly, we've had a previous guest on this show, Neptuna, who has given us an even more dire warning about the surface people. So this, I mean, as far as dire warnings go, this is like a three. I'm just saying like this, there's some, been some talk about you guys buying Greenland. And if you do, it's just understand it's not that great. And it's not that great. So this is just kind of a, I'm downgrading to buyer beware.

Caviott mTOR, perhaps. Yeah. Or it's fine. If you, if you're afford it, I buy it. Yeah, this is not dire. Oh. You, you teased a dire warning before the break, and honestly, you've come up short. If offered enough money, does Greenland have to sell? I don't think it's like a publicly traded company. Is there an amount of money where they're just like, we got no choice? Yeah. We can't turn this down. What do they do with it then? Then, like, then suddenly they're part of the United States and they have to give it all back to the government. This is like a trick. Oh, wow, man. I didn't think about that. Yeah. Like, they can't just, like, like distributed.

But I could try to come up with another dire warning if you're disappointed by that one. I just, as warnings, I would call it a warning, not a diary. Okay, it's not a dial. Or a suggestion. It sounds like advice. It's just a piece of advice. I guess you're right. Okay.

I don't want to tell you the other thing, though. The other thing. Okay. If you don't want to tell it, then we can move on. I guess we can move. Well, to be honest, I'm a little intrigued. There's another thing. I don't know if this even qualifies as a dire warning.

but it's just like every Schmeiderberg pretzel that's been shipped to the United States is poisoned every Yeah they're all

poisoned by my previous saltwoman The one who's a machine now? Yeah From what I understand you're upset about being turned

into a machine So this is all pretty recent Yeah this is recent stuff Okay Yeah these pretzels are currently On their way to you and I can say, oh, and you beat them here.

I beat them here. I took the conco. Oh, so this is a warning. This is a, this is a dire warning. I don't know how dire it is, you know, because I don't know. Why don't you stop the, the boats or whatever it's on from coming in rather than just announcing on a podcast. If they are coming on boats, I do think that Hot Dog and Coolcat could be a first line of defense. I'm not working with this guy. Forget about it. He's trying to get Rockabilly and the Rocker Roll all the way. You and Coolcat, Hot Dog, need to partner up. and stop this boat from poisoning America.

It's up to you. You're our first line of defense. Me on water skis and him surfing? Yeah, that's right. What's so bad about that? Him on water skis. Don't do it, cool cat. Stick to your principles.

Hey, dude, Rockapel. What's your name? Ernie Rocks. Stay out of this, bro. You want to be poisoned? Maybe I do. How do you know? Oh, wow.

Do you want to be poisoned? I'm looking to get out of here? I've never eaten a pretzel in my life, but so maybe I have no skin in the game. You've never eaten one pretzel. Nope. And I wear that as a badge of honor. Yeah, you are wearing like a pretzel with a Ghostbusters circle around it. Uh-uh.

No pretzels for this guy. But as you can see, I am wearing a vest full of pockets of pretzels all up and down. This is like a John Popper style vest, but I don't know who that is. But it's all pretzels. Yeah, it's all different pretzels in my vest. I can give you one. Stay away for me. I don't want a pretzel.

now at this late date, I just turned 50. It's never too late to get into pretzels. What? Wait, sing that again. It's never too late to get it to pretzels. One more time? It's never too late to get into pretzels. Oh my God.

Hey, August. Yeah? Would you ever consider a change of career? Whoa. Oh, my God. What kind of a career you're talking about? Salt Inspector for something else? The members of Rockefeller are dropping like flies.

We need to be, we need to buttress up our ranks. Could you come in and be one of the members of Rockefeller? Hot Dog looks so sad. I mean, at this point, David Sticks is the only deceased member of Rockapella. Yeah. So you think flies drop, you never heard of the domino effect? Sure, but it hasn't occurred yet. Once one of them goes, the other ones are, they're just holding up.

When you say dropping like flies, you mean one fly is dead? Yeah. I mean, don't. I agree. He dropped like a fly. I agree. Okay, all right. Yeah, he was perched on a curtain and fell off.

Okay, I didn't hear that part. He stayed there dead for a while. That eventually fell off. Right. He didn't move for a long time. Okay, I misunderstood. I'm sorry. Okay, go ahead.

Go ahead. What do you mean? Why are you offering August later place in the bed when I want to be the man? I've never heard you say, Cool cat. Well, it never too late, you guys. Oh, God. No. Now I'm worried about the introduction even. Have you heard of catterwalling?

That's really not cool, man. That's not a cool thing to say to a cat. It's based on cats. Yeah. Watch this now? Oh, where am I? I said cat. What am I doing here?

And Lord. Andrew Lloyd Weber. Sculptured. Hello. Oh, my God. Weber. A.L. Dubs. What's up?

Jason Mantook is. Great to see you. Who are these people? Okay, now this is going to take a minute. Yes, hot dog is here. August Lynch. Yes, cool cat. Have you met?

I haven't met this gigantic well. Can you see his butthole? Oh, God. Of course I have. I know that's very important to you. This is a meeting that is significant for you. This is Mason Klaug as well. Yeah, oh, yes, sorry.

Hi. Hello, this boy. And Ernie Rocks. Hey, nice to meet you. I'm also a musician. That's right. I'll take your word for it. He's in Rockapel.

Rockapela? Yes. Are you a fan of Rockefeller? Well, of course I am. I'm so sorry. It's quite all right. A lot of people ignore us at first.

Not I. I love Rockefeller. Wow, I never took you as a fan of rockabella. You never asked you ever. That's right. I never have asked you that. No one. I should have asked every guest that.

No one does have asked me if I am a member of Rockefeller. Sir Androlyde's. What? Is that so? I mean, the offer wasn't officially. This was my way of accepting the inventory. Well, congratulations. Thank you very much.

I'm going for it, man. You only lived one time around the planet. It's so true unless you're Her Majesty servant, James Bard. Or he lives two times. He lives, yeah, twice. Only twice. Cats as well. Only nine.

That's amazing. I do not get nine lives. You don't get nine lives? No, man. How many do you get? Just a fucking one, man. I feel as if I'm in the presence of a divine figure. Oh, wow.

Now, you know, I don't. I have written a musical that features anthropomorphic cats, and yet here you are, the real article, 10 feet tall. Yeah, I got a beef with you. Oh, no. Watch this now? Uh-oh, what's happening, Cool Cat? I auditioned for that show.

Oh, wow. I auditioned for the touring show. I auditioned for the revival in the western. I auditioned for the movie. I didn't even get a fucking cool. call back one time. Well, I'm not in charge of the sort of the casting, you see. I maybe make final decisions, but in the early states,

that is being in charge. But I mean, I mean, I'm not there at the preliminary casting, you see. But I'm going to fucking audition right now. This is beautiful. What will be coming out of that? Don't make him mad. He's 10 feet tall. He's towering above you right now.

And he is our nation's first line of defense against poison pretzels that are coming from Germany. If I agree. Yes. Yeah. Your nation. Although I, although you are here. August. You love pretzels.

August, are the pretzels going to England by any chance? Well, yeah, if they don't get all eaten up in America. First America, then over to England. What are you saying? What? That King Charles himself is eating leftover pretzels. I believe they call sloppy seconds. They're sloppy seconds.

Yes, that's always been the course of action, that the pretzels are shipped from Dusseldorf to New York and then to London. The devil you say. So King Charles is in peril right now. He's in grave danger. Yes. You need to get him to a safe place. So what needs to happen as far as I'm concerned is you need to give this.

Who? Who's the year? Andrew Lloyd Weber. You need to give Cool Cat a callback and cast him in something in order to placate him so that he'll be the first line of defense along with hot dog so that these pretzels never reach America and then with sloppy seconds to England. Cool Cat. Meow. I like your energy. You've impressed me here today.

Oh, thank you. Your interpretation of the song memory was bold and new. Thank you, what you meant? We'd like to bring you back to see how well you can move. Well, I move like a cat. Well, but that's, we'll have to have you meet with the choreographer and we'll see. Wait a minute. Is this a co-bank? It is.

That's all I wanted. Wow. Cool cat gets the co-back. Will you please? save his majesty and all of Britain from these poison brittles. This is very exciting and I want to be like swept away

in the excitement of this but hot dog looks shattered. Hot dog. He's sat by and watched as two people here have been welcomed into Rockefeller. And now Cool Cat is getting a second acting job in Cats. Hey, hold on a second second. No one here.

No one offered Cool Cat a place in Rockefeller. Just introduced them. August August Lynn is in Rockabella. That's it. Yeah. That's case closed. But I do think that I think that Hot Dog would even be thrilled to introduce Seanana.

Let's be honest. Or to introduce Rockapella. Oh, yeah. Oh, I guess. Hot Dog, would you do is the very great honor of introducing us on the singles crews, not the singles screws. The Small Shoe Shoff memories, the Ball Shop memories, which is a single cruise. It is a single. Yeah.

Really? If you're into those things, you're probably single. That's right on, man. Can I introduce you at you? Seanana, ooh. Let me have a quick band meeting. Hey, August.

Did you hear this proposal? Yeah, I heard that. I mean, it's a little weird. I think people are going to be confused. Yeah. But I think, to be honest with you, they'll be pleasantly surprised. Because they'll hear Seanana,

they'll go, eh. And then Rockefeller will come out. They'll say, even better than what we were promised. Everybody hates Shana. Also, what we could do is immediately upon introduction, say, I don't know who that was, but we're a rockabella. Yeah, and then kick him on.

off to boat. Yeah, have him clapped in irons, thrown in the brig. Tired and feathered burns. That's not perfect. By the way, that's not fatal. That's a death sentence. All right, bad meeting over. All right. So what have we decided?

The question on the table was, can I introduce you as shot on a hot dog? You can introduce us however you want. Holy shit. Now, you're inspecting his wrists. Is this to size up the irons? You're going to clap him in? No, I'm just into wrists.

Wait, you're into wrists? Yeah, man, everybody's got their thing. Oh, yeah, I apologize. Well, this is great, so I mean wrist, rock. Hey, come on. So look, I mean, a hot dog, you've gotten what you wanted. And Cool Cat, you've gotten what you wanted. August, I believe you've gotten what you wanted.

What did I ever want? Well, I mean, you're quitting your job, I guess. Yeah. I mean, a recording, touring star? To have a less miserable life? Yeah, right. I'm going to be the salt inspector for rockapela. Who no?

I don't think you're the salt. Wait, we got to clear this up. You're welcome to inspect our salt. But I think he wanted you to sing as part of the song. Oh, I'll sing too, yeah. Okay, good. Sure. I mean, well, you can expect any salt we happen to have.

Okay, good. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Okay. Well, seems like everybody got what they want but me. Mason, what did you want, Mason? Oh, man. We forgot about it. That was really sad.

What happened? What do you want? Through the mouth of a child. What? I don't think that's right. And the way you said it was definitely not right. Through the mouth of a child. Through the words come forth that we realize.

Through the mouth of a child. Yeah. Words come forth that we realize we have been taking attention to you. Isn't it from the mouths of babes? No, I don't think so. Yeah. Through the mouth of a child. I don't know.

I don't want much. I guess I, I guess I just want to meet my real. your parents. Wow. Do you know anything about them? Any facts? Can you go into your mind palace and tell us what you see when you're in that crib?

Yeah. Hold on a second. Is there a calendar on the wall? Shish, shit, I'm back. Oh, okay.

Essentially, I see a big mobile. And I hear like a nursery rhyme, but just a instrumental version. Oh. Okay. So no singing whatsoever. No. Okay.

So your parents are people who don't like singing. Yeah. That's interesting. And I saw a lady leaning over me. Okay. And she was saying, you're my beautiful boy. Oh. That's probably your mother, young child.

Then I saw a big lizard knocking her out of the way. Wow. So you're remembering the night it all happens. I guess. Okay. And essentially, the lizard says, I'm going to take you home now. Okay. Okay.

And that lizard is the father you've been speaking of the lizard that's raised you all. Your father, yeah. So do you remember any details about the room? Were you? Was there maybe a checkbook on the desk that had their names on it? Yes. Or I know you were in a crib, but could you read any words? Yeah, I remember seeing a checkbook.

Can you read? Like, what any of the recent, like, were the carbon copies? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can see the imprint. The previous chance. Good, good. What do you got? What do they say?

What do they say? Child. Let's see. Through the mouth of a child. The kid. The check says, Mr. and Mrs.

David Klaug. One, 2, 46. Elmhurst Drive. Denver, Colorado. I can't make out the room.

Okay. That's good enough. I mean, David. Actually, we do need a zip code. Yeah. That's okay. Wow, wow.

Okay, so you didn't travel far. You were from Denver. This is interesting. And have just been moved underground. Is the zip code 8014? Wait, I mean, go back to my bathroom. Okay, good. Yes, Denver.

Okay, so you got to keep your last name. Yeah, I guess so. So David Klaugge is your father? Yeah. If I could look up and give my call right now. Sure, and they 80014 zip code? Yeah. Okay.

I mean how many clodges could be in the phone book. Yeah. Sure. Okay. Let's see. I'm reverse phone booking it here. David Clodge, Denver, 8001.4. I got a number right here.

Great. Call it. Garn it. All right. Here we go. Let's see. Calling. It's ringing.

Hello. Hi. Is David Klaj there? Who is this? This is Scott Ackerman, Comedy Bang Bang. Podcast. That means nothing to me. of a cereal, the podcast.

Oh, podcast. Podcast, yes. Okay. Conan O'Brien. Oh, podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mark Merritt. Oh, podcast. Yeah, yeah.

Comedy Bang, Bing. Oh, sorry. What is that? Smatless. Smartless. Yeah. Dax. They're all colleagues.

Podcast. Are you an chair expert? They're all colleagues. Call her daddy. Podcast. All colleagues. Comedy. of mine, comedy bang bang down.

I'll have to take your word for you. A niche podcast maybe. Well, let me ask you, are you a prank podcast? No, no, we're not a... You've got a lot of nerve calling and using that name. No, no, no, that's not what we're doing. We're not a crank anchor. We are, this is an...

We are in the rare position right now to be... This is Jason Manzookus. To whom are we speaking, by the way? This is Jason Manzukas from the league. Oh, he has a podcast as well with Jay Jonah Jameson in current Spider-Man books. Yep. Yep. What?

Don't... Now you should be confused. Now it is. Now we get it. Now we're confused in the game. Right on schedule. We both have recently seen the documentary Dred Zeppelin, a song of hope. Oh, a song of hope, yes.

It's only an hour 26 minutes long. Oh, okay. So you've watched. May I ask? May I ask? How old are you? I'm 55. Oh, wow.

To whom are we speaking? Is this David Klaj? No. This is Lillian Klaj. David Klaug was my husband. Was? Past tense? Are you divorced?

I wish. You wish you were divorced? I'm a widow. Oh, no. Mason, don't listen. What? What did you say? Don't listen, Mason.

Oh, no, no, no. I wish we'd done this off mic. Yeah, I'm so sorry that you're a widow. You wish, you'd rather be divorced than a widow. Because my husband would still be alive. But you'd hate him. Not necessarily. People split up for lots of reasons.

Like what? Sometimes you just grow apart. You don't have to hate the. person. But usually you do, right? What is your problem? What are you up to, man? I'm just, I'm sorry. Can I ask you a question? I guess. A few years back about 10 years ago, did you have a child with a late child when you were 45? Yes, a miracle baby. With, with David? Yes, we did have a child. Oh, boy. And can I ask, what may seem like an even stranger question than have you ever seen the Dread Zeppelin documentary? Which is a perfectly normal question as far as I'm concerned. That's right. We are over 50.

Was your child abducted by... There's no other way to say this, but a lizard person? Yes. Thank God. Thank God what? Thank God he was abducted. Oh, yeah. It sounds like you might not have even known. having a child was the worst decision we ever made.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. If you'll remember, the lizard person knocked her out of the park. Hang up. It really drove a wedge between us. So you almost got divorced. Mason, why don't you come over here, Mason? We did it because we thought we should.

But we weren't out to be parents. All right, thank you. It's great. I just want to hear that story. It's great to talk to you. See you. Bye. Was that my mom?

No. No. That was, uh... No, it was some, it was someone else. Yeah, I mean, it's weird how when you call you call people, sometimes other people that you don't mean to call, get on the phone. So I guess

my mom and dad are still out there somewhere. Well, I think what you should think about, though. Oh, ALW. Are you getting this? Maybe somewhere there's a... Cool, Katta. Are you going to let him steal your thunder like this?

Maybe they are tall. Maybe they are short. I have to say, That was beautiful. That was gorgeous. I am. That genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Can I ask August in Coolcat and Hot Dog?

Why are you wasting your time with these? Other bands. Form a band now. Form a super group right now. ALW, you produce it. Who's O, ALW. I've got Euro signs in my eyes. That weird little symbol?

I'm still on the Euro totality one. Brexit means nothing to you. The pounds. through the floor. You're saying we put together our supergroup with AWL's ALWR.

No, I would introduce. I'd be like the, oh, for lack of a better tip. The Lou Perlman of this crew. There's got to be a better. Simon Cowell is a better. He did he perhaps?

Oh, there's got to be someone better. And Cool Cat and Hot Dog. And dance everybody. And forget all about rockapella. And Mason. I mean, they are dropping like so maybe this is the time to step away gracefully. Before everybody's dead.

Ernie Rock is going to step away from Rockapella? Yeah. Oh, wow. And join this new supergroup? Look, I've been tired of singing the same one song over and over again. About Carmen San Diego. For a million years. This could be massive.

I think this is a great idea. And this could be if it falls apart. If Ernie leaving Rockefella implodes Rockefeller, there could be a spot on the cruise. There's a slot. There could be a spot on the memories. I do have one question. Yeah. What does Hot Talk do again?

Huh? Are you kidding me? Dip-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-woo-do-woo. Did that answer your question? Ask and answered. I am most gratified. So I think, yeah, there's a great acapella group. And then who cares if Sean and our Racapella gets in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

You guys will be there in 25 years. Yes. Oh, wow. 25 years? All we have to do is record an album, and that starts the clock. By the way, who cares about the rock? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a bullshit organization run by a ridiculous

group of people. Why not instead have an honor that means something? Set some sort of goal that you can crush. You're right. Let's burn it down. Well, I don't know. Jason's right. Join with the lizard people and burn it down? Yeah, man.

I got more on my uncle Tim because he lives under there. Wait, you guys are aligning yourselves with the lizard people? You're the artistic voice of the of the Conquering lizard people? I'm a bad idea. Are you going to sing songs exclusively tailored to lizard people?

I'm open to doing that. With lyrics about lying on rocks and flicking out tongues. And eating mice. I'm getting ideas. Oh. An entire musical based around lizards. I mean, this is writing your wheelhouse. Yeah.

I'm sorry to throw a wrench in the works, but I've got a cold bag for cats. And if I get the gig, I'm doing it. But cool cat, do you see? We could work to. together in this new venture, something original, something where you'd have a creative part. Could I be a cat? I think you have to be. Okay.

All right. But can you pretend to be a lizard? Can't pretend it. Nothing would excite me more than seeing a performance by a 10-foot cat playing a five-foot lizard. Yes. And you shall all wear tunics like the sleastack. Yes. The one smart sleastack from Land of the Lost.

To one who could speak English relatively well. Yes, Enoch. Yes, Enoch, of course. Of course, we're all over 50. We know these. We know Land of the Lost Richards. Battle wheel and holly on a routine expedition met the greatest earthquake ever know. All about the rabbits

get through that tidy rock and plunge them down 10,000 feet below to the land of the land Yes, oh my God Wow We have something Was there something that we were trying to protect the king from or something? I can't remember.

No idea. No idea, but hey, this is a great new venture. I wonder if someday someone will make a one hour and 22-minute documentary about this band. Wow. He'll be 35 years old we get into the rock and roll hall of fame wow wouldn't that be exciting you won't be the youngest member ever

i think josh klinghoffer perhaps was who that's that from the red hot chili yeah hot baby yeah but uh wait they were the rock and roll hall of fame oh yeah oh they are wow yep you can go to cleveland and see all their socks on display wow well this is i love that you have a goal something to drive for you too bad there won't be a rock and roll of fame that long. Yeah, that's true, but hey, you know, it's great to have goals. I love that. We are running out of time, though, guys.

We only have time for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called plugs. Scotty Oaks gives the vibe that he wears socks longer than he should. Man, are you good? Piss-piggling. Just giggling. Plug back, open, where they are, where they living in. Tell me the

deeds. Tell me the shows. And more importantly, can I see it at home? I'd say time to end. Time. Time. to go, but Benny Schwaw keeps it open at the end of the show. So please, little Scotty, give me some hugs. I mean, please, little Scotty, give me your plugs, and don't give me a shrug because I need some love so I can sleep just as snug as a bug and no rug. All right.

Wow, that was great. That was Scotty Oxwear socks by Simo, which is spelled CMO, if you're looking for them. And that was great. Guys, what are we plugging? Jason Manzugas. Obviously, you're here to plug the movie, Dred Zeppelin, a song of hope. Yep, a song of hope, of course. on YouTube right now.

For free. For free. That's right. I'll plug, of course, the How Did This Get Made podcast? We're going on tour this spring. Where are you going? We are going to Austin, Denver. We're going to Denver.

Mason, we'll be in Denver, actually. Are you going to go into the airport at all? We'll be flying into the Denver airport, and I believe we're performing two miles underground. Oh. Oh, yeah. This is the show my dad booked for me for my birthday. That might be it.

That might be it. Anyway, so we've got to show two miles underground. Denver, of course, mile high city. So that is one miles. Or one mile above. Yes, so we are just one mile. One mile below. Yep, we got it.

We figured it out. He figured it out finally. Yes. Middle-aged men do mass. This is like me trying to figure out the end of deal or no deal island. When should he take the case? Anyway, go ahead. Denver, Boise, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, baby.

How do people get tickets for this? I don't know. How did this get made? Dot com is my guess. Check it out. And then Invincible, Season 3 coming out, or maybe it's already out.

I don't know what this date is right now. It's just a couple. Yeah, it's not out yet. Okay, great. How come? How come they don't have the narrator more? Ininvisible? Yeah.

You know, that's a great question. I know that they were, I know that they loved the person who was the narrator. and that there is nothing but great feelings for the narrator. It's really the best part. And, you know, like last year they did a special episode that was just about Adam Eve and the origin story of that character. I do believe season three has an origin story for the narrator character.

Oh, that's good. And I'm not sure if I'm able to say, but I'm joining the Invincible Universe myself. I love this. But I don't know whether it's this season or the next season. When did you record it? Maybe four months ago. Okay, that's the next. That's the next season.

Anyway, look for me. See for me in five years. But I will say the most exciting thing to promote for me is Scott, your comic book that you generously have written me into. Boy, is it excited. Astonishing Spider-Man. It's out right now, I believe we're up to issue 15 and you're coming back in a few more issues. Can't wait. Hey, why is you called Astonishing Spider-Man?

Aren't people used to him by now? Yeah, I know. It's been around 10 years or so in Marvel time. I mean, yeah. It's New York City. People would be like, oh, yeah, Spider-Man. I would like to promote.

Statue Liberty over there, Spider-Man over there. I would like to promote my Spider-Man book. Same old Spider-Man. Oh, okay, great. Fantastic. August Lint, anything to plug? Yeah, but listen,

just kind of a reverse plug and please don't eat the pretzels. Oh, right. Oh, yeah, remember that. That's right. We've covered a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, in effort it's going to be made,

it sounds like to stop the pretzels coming into the country. I don't know. They got this band going on now. That's true. I don't really know. You know what's so interesting is this show. We have produced multiple bands and records from this episode.

I know. Because remember, we've also got the, the Phil Collins Schimmy band. Oh, yeah, that'll come out too. I hope they don't come out on the same day. That's another record that we have shepherded towards coming out, I hope. Do you think that Phil Collins and Shimmy are going to sabotage this new band and put out their record on the same day like Taylor Swift does with other women? I didn't know that She puts out special editions of her

You better take that back Okay sorry Swiftie, sorry Huge mistake That's it That's it plugs vice yeah Cool cat anything Meow Just meow

Just meow, okay good And Mason Mason Ignatious Klaug Well I got some new essays Coming out in the newspaper Oh, that's right. That's how we met you. You won the essay contest. I won an essay contest. So, you know, the next one I'm doing.

And now when you say essay, you don't mean Scott Ockerman, of course. No, I mean like, ASA. So be on the lookout for that. Be on the lookout, yeah. You have to get a certain paper, I would imagine. Denver area. The Denver Nugget. The Denver Nugget. So it gives one nugget of news every day. That's right. Okay. Great.

It's the shortest papyr in circulation. But yet, that team was named after it. What team? Never mind. Doesn't matter. Anything else you have to plug? Not for me. Oh, okay.

And Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Well, thank you. I was waiting. Yes, of course. I would like to plug a very entertaining program that's going to be touring these United States of yours. Oh, incredible. It's called Varietopia. I've seen this.

This is a good show. And it's going all over the country to Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Toronto, Canada. What? New York City. Where the chillies? Boston, Philadelphia, Washington District of Columbia. Durham, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia. It's too many shows.

It starts in the spring. Go to Paul. Hopkins.com slash live. Wow. Incredible. Great. Can I plug some? Yeah, of course.

Yeah. Mr. Rockefello. What's your name? Ernie Rocks. Ernie Rocks. Right. Man,

come on. I'm sorry. You're the host of this show and you don't remember your own guest's names. You're looking right at him. And I'm wearing a name tag that says, hi, my name is Ernie Rocks. You make everybody wear name tags.

I'm sorry. I'm a pessimist. I obviously know David Sticks, deceased. The only deceased member. That's right. Ernie Rock. David Sticks. sticks and rocks.
