Come to be a comedy bang, bang, comedy bang, bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang, comedy bang. Come together right now, the orgy is about to end. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang Bang! Thanks to Geriatric Boy for that catchphrase submission submitted on January 10th, 2023, almost three years ago, just getting around to it. Geriatric boy, I hope you're not elderly and possibly dead boy by now. But we got to your catchphrase submission just in the nick of time, hopefully. But welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. My name is Scott Ackerman. We have an exceptional show coming up a little later. We have a broadcaster.

We also have a team building experts, and we have a stand-up comedian. Such great guests coming up a little later in the show, but before we get to them, let's get to our guest of honor. She is joining the exclusive three-timers club on Comedy Bang Bang. Let's go through her appearances. Her first one, in... Boy, I tell you, she only comes here in November. November 30th, 2015, 10 years ago.

Wow, wow, wow. Actually, 11 years. Don't make me do math. 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. No, 10 years ago. She then returned nine years later in November of 2024. What happened in those nine years? I really burned some bridges with you guys.

I showed up one too many times, drunken in your pool. That's right. And one too many times is just once. Is one. It's none. I banged on the gate. You guys wouldn't let me in. But she's back now in November.

And I've heard of gone till November. And I think it applies in your case. You know her from such great shows as she plays the waitress on. Is it, it's always sunny or it's never sunny? That's always sunny. It's always sunny. Yeah.

In Philadelphia. In Philly, yeah. Do you call it, is that what the cast calls it? Yeah. It's always sunny in Philly? We're always like that. Just to shorten it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I would think you would call it sunny or Philadelphia. You just call it, it's always sunny in Philly. And then we run out. We're tired by the end. We're old now. You also know her from such shows as, what was that one of perfect couples? Oh, yeah. The Grindr.

The Grindr. One of my favorites. Roblo. You know her from licorice pizza. That was a good one. You know her from the diaper money, Lonely Island video. That's right. This is off out of memory.

this is amazing this is off the top of my head and now she is returning in the thing that brought her back to Comedy Bang Bang just one year ago the only reason I took that show I knew it would give me back here that's right she is returning to the show

a man on the inside season two of which comes out this Thursday please welcome back to the show joining the exclusive three timers club Mary Elizabeth Ellis hi I wish you guys

could see this jacket, this three-timer jacket that I have on. There's so much bling on it. No matter how many appearances anyone makes on the show, we'd make a jacket for them that corresponds with the number of times they've been on it. So one-timers, you know, that's, we've talked about this. That's where you want to be. The one-timers club, because that means he came on the show, whatever you promoted, did so well. You got so famous. You never had to return. You blocked Scott's phone number. Who's in the one-timers club? Paul Rudd. Oh. more like Paul rude why won't he come back thank you childish Gambino more like childish dumbbino yeah rude rude rude Ben Stiller more like Ben still not here rude I think he only did it as a favor to me because I asked him well that was nice that was nice of him yeah but now he's rude now he's rude but she's back for her third appearance not rude things are going poorly for her I think they're going okay.

Things are going fine. You're back on man on the inside. This is, of course, Ted Danson's return to television as if he ever left. He's in 18 million shows. He really is. He's one of our greatest. And so many commercials. Yeah, he does commercials.

He does television. Not a lot of movies, although he was in creep show. He was in body heat. Three men and a baby? Three men and a baby with that ghost. Here's my theory. That ghost? got inside him during three men and a baby.

And won't let him leave television. He's like, we're never doing a movie again. You saw what happened. Now, man on the inside, of course, we've all seen the first season of this. It regards Ted Danson, who plays a recent retiree, who starts snooping around

on behalf of a lady lawyer. Is that, or what it? She's a private investigator, but she dresses like a lady lawyer. She's very serious. Yeah, it's based on a documentary that won an Oscar. Well, well, well. Well, well, well, from out of Chile. And, yeah, his wife has passed, who would be my fictional mother.

And he can't figure out what to do with himself. And I'm like, you've got to figure out something to do with yourself. So he applies to a private investigation. firm and starts going undercover at an old folks home. That's right. There's a rash of jewelry, thievery, jewel theft. Just like the Louvre. Exactly.

Is that what season two is about, the Louvre? Yes. He goes undercover as like an art. One of those guys who like, what do they do? They like retouch the, what is that Jesus picture that they retouched? Oh, yeah, that looked good. That was great. That's the big reveal.

He mostly just spins the majority of season two inside of an air duct much... It's like Bruce Willis and Die Hard? Yeah. But he can't go back to this old folks home, right? He sure can't. He solved that. But I'm trying to remember the end of the show. Wasn't he like happy in the old folks home and he made a bunch of friends and stuff like that? Like, why does he just stay there?

He solved the mystery, but he's not ready to retire. He should just stay there. Well, call Mike, sure. Text Mike. I bet he did... Do you give me his number? Think about that. Yeah, he's on a community college campus in season two.

Community college. Interesting. Now, you play his daughter. I sure do. And you got involved in the mystery in season one. But because you're not an old person, you couldn't be that involved in it. That's right. Are you doing like a 21 or two jumpstery thing where you're like playing a college kid in this one?

Oh, man, I really wish. That would have been incredible. You've got to get me in the writer's room. Text my chair right now. Okay, okay. Wait, I don't want to be in a writer's room. We'll shoot our own version of it. I don't want to be in the writers room either.

Yeah. One day a week. I feel like they did a lot of watching the Baby Eagles hatch in the writer's room. Oh, yeah. We were watching that here at home. Yeah. So see if that works its way into your subconscious while you're watching season two. Our friend Lisa Gilroy, who's.

Yes. Yeah. I know her. I've met her a couple of times. She's funny. She's really great. I've never, I mean, I've just had serious conversations. with her so I don't really know or in that respect but you come with so you both come

with so much comedy that it neutralizes into very serious once we step out the door outside of podcast things we just let it all out and go and then we're deadly series solve some world crises so how do you get involved in this season's escapades last time let you visited him although the the lady lawyer private investigator was playing his daughter so you had to play a cousin or something like that. I don't mean to give away everything that happened. Yeah, let the people watch the show.

They've watched it. Everyone's watched it by now. But how do you get involved in the case this time? I'm involved in the case a little, but I'm more the heart of the show. Okay. What does that mean? The heart is, it's a body part, but also metaphor.

Oh, the circulatory system. Yeah, but metaphorically, it's like what makes people cry or laugh or remember their own pain. Parents. Okay, so no one's going to be laughing or crying until you get on screen during the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, it's just a big, like, I mean, I guess this is fine. And then suddenly you're on screen.

Oh, wow. Yes, calling parents, making amends. That's right. Oh, yes, because the two of you have a good relationship, but there's some kinks to be worked out. Yeah, you know, I really took care of him in the first season. And in this season, I need to face my own grief. Okay. really what's going on with your uh your well i did lose my mother yeah yeah but that was like before

that was like the first season a season and a half ago yeah i feel like that's what grief counselors say right that was like a season and a half ago what if we did the prequel season where it was like season zero and we got to see your mother die i mean why are you not going in this writer's room you have your finger on the pulse and then you we find out someone murdered her oh and then he has to solve that Yeah. Yes. I like it. Let's raise the stakes, as they say.

It's a poker term. Let's do it. Ante up. That's right. Because this time it's personal. Who killed my wife? This time it's personal. Who killed my wife?

I like it. And Bill Devane can come in and play Ted Danson's part. Sure. Why not? That sounded like a good Bill Devane impression. Who killed my wife? I think I was trying to do a Harrison Ford and the Fugitive. But he said I didn't kill my way.

He wasn't concerned with who did it. He just wanted to say like, I didn't do it. It wasn't me. I didn't kill my wife. I don't care. Want me to do the whole movie for you? I'll do Joey Pants. Hey, it's the fugitive.

Yeah. I feel like this is a great season zero. I think this is my one-man show. I like it. It's called Season Zero. Season Zero. A man on the inside. Scott Ackerman performs the fugitive.

Yes. Yeah. I'm in. I'll be there. Well, this is wonderful stuff. A man on the inside. Oh, also, doesn't he find romance? this season? Is that tough for her? He does. So he's a man on the inside in two respects.

Well, I don't know how inside he gets. I'm not sure. There's a whole episode where we talk details. Yeah, give me all the deets, Daddy. Yeah, yeah. Give me all those dirty deeds. Yeah, Mary Steenbergen comes in and plays his hot new thing. Oh, she's the greatest, isn't she? No. No. It did not like her. Don't like her. Yeah. Awful woman. Yeah. I mean, the two of them. Incredible. Yeah. The best. I hung out with him on two occasions. Hung out is a little strong. I was around them. You were around them?

Yeah. Once at a wedding and once, because I worked with Mr. Danson and something. Oh, what did you work with Mr. Donson? I was on Cheers for 10 seasons. Oh, I am so sorry that I'd never said congratulations.

I played Frazier. Oh. Oh. I thought you were more of a Carla, but. Okay. Yeah. But wonderful show. It's back on the air this Thursday.

on Netflix, and how many episodes are we talking? It was eight last season, right? This is all from memory. You're doing great. I'm so proud of you. Eight last year. How many we got this year? We're going to go eight again.

Eight again? Are you in every single episode? Nope. Uh-oh. But I got paid for all of them. And how many are you just on the phone while you're in your house? That's a great question, maybe two. And Eugene plays your husband, right?

Eugene plays my husband. It's the best. Everything goes there, go well there in your house. relationship this? We're not dealing with your divorce or anything like that. No, no, thank God. Some things get shaken up, but my, my marriage is solid. Okay. Yeah, good. The kids being crazy again. Being crazy. You on the phone going, Dad, you got to get out of this community college. This is too dangerous. Are you sure you weren't in the writer's room? Man on the inside, this Thursday, Netflix, we need to get to our next guest. Can you stick around the whole show? Is that something you're prepared to do?

I'll be here. Okay, great. Let's get to our next. guest he is a broadcaster i mentioned uh a broadcaster of note he uh was he played for the nba i believe on the i think he played in texas perhaps uh for the san antonio spurs no um i don't know what teams he played with i mainly know him as a broadcaster also i believe he's dead i'm not quite sure but please welcome back to the show bill walton scott augerman what a delight and a Gobble, gobble to you, big dog. Gobble, gobble to you. Oh, by the way, Mary Elizabeth,

you are also on the Thanksgiving episode of the Comedy Bang Bang TV show. So you're a true November goddess here with Comedy Bang Bang. Oh, thank you. Yes, that gobble, goboble made me feel right at home. Oh, God, thank you so much. And what a joy for me to be in the room

with the great Mary Elizabeth Ellis. One of the great Mary Elizabeth's from Winston to... Master Antonio. Master Antonio. Thank you so much. I had that on the tip of my tongue. Man, remember in the abyss when she looked like she died and they gave her CPR for a full 10 screen time minutes? Scott, how many times have I told you?

Spoiler alert on the abyss. I'm waiting for the right time to watch it. You're waiting for the right cut, too. Yes, they haven't given me a cut of the abyss that I'm sad. Is that Cameron? Who's the abyss? Cameron is the abyss. Oh, baby.

I'm waiting for Cameron to come back in there and maybe throw some Navi in the movie. And then I'm interested. You see that interview where he was like, the Navi had to have big butts and beautiful breasts. He was like people simply had to be attracted to the Navi And I couldn't have agreed more That's why the man has made three of the biggest movies of all time Scott Ackerman I think that's the one way that people can find empathy for someone who's different from you Is finding them attractive

That's the Cameron School of Movie Making It's a dark place to go But it keeps working so he must know something Right Scott Ackerman He's got to know something Yeah remember that what's that true lies one or boy some funny stuff in there Oh my God And what about Curtis

doing the Lord's work. That movie only works because you actually believe she's attracted to Arnold Schwarzenegger for the whole movie. I know. Can you imagine? It's a hard, hard job.

And she, like, really loves the guy and it's like, okay, well, I believe you. No wonder she won the Oscar. Did she win for that? She didn't win for that. She should have.

I think it's like Scorsese's Oscar where, you know, like they gave it to her for true lies. Yes, that's what everybody was saying. And Tom Arnold's next. Oh, I hope so. They didn't give him his true lies Oscar and he deserves it.

I've had this argument before, Scott Okman, if you don't mind me taking over the interviewing job here. Oh, sure. Yeah. Go ahead. And I want to open it up to your guest as well. Do you consider Arnold Schwarzenegger a sex symbol? I find him... Is he a sexy guy?

I find him visually abhorrent, but what about you? I feel that he's been exploded out of a helicopter into my heart. Okay. Wow. I love that. That's an incredible answer. Can you imagine in true lies? Yes.

When Schwarzenegger is flying the jet plane that has a missile. on it. And then he's got the villain on the missile. And he goes, you're fired. What if the guy on the missile said, you can't fire me? I quit. Then what would he have done? I'm stumped. Then the guy would have to climb in the jet and press the button himself and then get back to the missile to get himself off the jet. That's true. That's true. That's why they probably discussed it and realized it wouldn't be or maybe they shot it. Oh, if with Cameron, I'm sure they shot an option. I'm sure they You got to shoot an option. You know better than me.

I haven't been in a movie for years. You got to shoot sizes and options. Yes. Okay. I don't even know sizes. Different frame sizes. Yeah, lots of inserts, too, just in case. You got to have something to cut to.

So it cuts to hands holding a coffee cup. Oh, yeah. If I don't see an insert of the person touching the thing they're interacting with, I'm like, well, where did it go? Yeah. Or even more, if I don't see someone clearly photoshopped into a picture with the other person as a younger couple, I'm like, were they ever together in the past? You also have to every scene start with the main character coming from the bathroom and then end the scene with them going into the bathroom because you're going to have to use once because I don't know if you have this experience.

I watch movies going, when are they going to the bathroom? We aren't seeing them going to the bathroom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These people never go to the bathroom? What if the whole thing that you saw that Nicole Kidman is watching before AMC movies was scenes where people are walking into the bathroom and it keeps cutting back to her nodding like she loves movies? But they have great bathrooms at AMC's, and that's a selling point. Would you say so? Yeah, sure.

Big, open, lots of stalls. You maybe don't use the men's room there. I don't. I don't know that they've ever taken out the paper towels from the men's room at the AMC bathrooms. You bring your own. You bring your own. And then you just put it on top of a little jenga of filthy paper towels that all the men of Burbank have used, including gay. Now, see, in the women's bathroom, you just stick your hands into popcorn.

Like, there's an extra. There's a popcorn in there, and that's how you draw your hands. Incredible! Yeah. Do they switch out the bucket per movie? No, no, no, no. It's always like a... It's like the Wolverine with his open mouth.

Yeah. Yeah. Or like the... Get your hands in here, Bub. Godzilla. What's the sandworm from... Oh, from Dune? Yeah, that you stick your hand in to get your popcorn on.

Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Everything with these is just like... An anus. Some to stick your dick into when you get home. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't have a dick, so I'm going to fist it. But, yeah.

Okay, yeah, sure. Yeah. Is there a sense of enjoyment to that? Just kind of quietly fissing in an animate object? Yeah, you should try it. You want something new every day. I will try it. I wish I could right now.

Scott, where the bucket's at? Is that the title of this episode? Where the buckets at? Hey, Bill, what are you doing here? I'll tell you what I'm doing here. Welcome to the show. I mean, it's great to have you on the show, but what's going on with you? Pleasure to be back.

Look, why won't you let me and my boys hack in your backyard? We got the hacky sack I got Trev I got Case Trev's here Trev's here Big Lair And we want to hack Somewhere man

And we just want to hack in your backyard Why do you want to hack in the back What That might be the episode That might be it We're gonna have to top that one You just got the perfect yard for hack You got hack room

You got high ceilings There are no ceilings in your backyard Yeah that's normally what you want In the backyard is The no ceilings I mean, who knows? I mean, they could be at 40,000 feet. We have no idea.

That's true. Do you ever have, like, air traffic control saying you got to move your ceiling so we can get by here? Yeah, I can't recall, but, uh, but, uh, I mean, there's, it feels like there's so many obstacles back there. Well, yeah, the obstacles are the heart of hack, Scott Ockerman, don't you know? Yes, absolutely. That me and my boys just need two hours to hack in your backyard will be as quiet as a mouse. We just can't do it at my place.

I don't know. every time you guys hack, I hear the hop. Oh, oh, nice one. Okay, I'll tell Trev to lighten up on the nice ones. He's just a supportive hacker. Is that a problem for you? I, I, you know, it is interesting because, like, hacky sack, no one wins, right? It's not a competitive sport.

Or everyone wins. That's a good point. I mean, but it's- down one time, Mary Elizabeth, Ellis, that's exactly right. Are there competitions? Like, are there, you know what I mean? Like, can you go out there and, and play against other people? I am sick of confidence.

competitions in this sick, crazy world, Scott Ockerman. You played in the NBA for how many seasons? God knows how many. I think about an eight, but my back got fucked about five seasons into it. And then I just had to, you know, I was barely a shell of myself. But even you having to remember what teams I played for, that's not my value. Listen to Alan Watts, Scott Ockerman. It's not about winning or losing.

It's about the fun we had along the way. And so I am on a journey to do sports with no winners or losers. That's why I hack with the big dogs. That's right. And so big lair is there. Big layer. Yes. What happened to the tiny layer?

Because he was playing with you for a while. Tiny layer got stuck. In what? In a suitcase. He was trying to join an ocean's left and he got stuck in a suitcase. Oh, no. It's too small. We're too big.

I don't know what the logic would be. I guess the zipper broke. I guess is what happened to tiny layer. He was trying to join in Ocean's a line. He was trying to join. Well, you go to Vegas. And there's the people on the side with the cards and some of them are hitting the cards. Like, this is a place where nasty people do nasty people do

nasty things. But some of them are like, we need someone for our Ocean's 11. We need someone for our Ocean's 11. And you walk by and you go, okay, what do you need? A Bernie Mac type, a little guy who can climb around into things. A guy who eats all the time. Yeah. Acrobatic. Acrobatic. Maybe just a guy who clearly thinks he's funny and works here. You talk about the British guy? Whichever what it is. Or a Pacino even, which is what I auditioned. I think they all think they're funny, right? The Ocean's 11? Yeah. Well, they're just having fun. Don't you like watching rich people have fun, Scott. I love it, man. It's one of my favorite things that I really mean that. I don't know why it brings me so much. Rich people pretending to be poor people who then

get rich in the movie. And so everything feels right with the world. Yes, exactly. And the only way that we get some of the wonderful small budget movies out there like a black bag is if we spend the big bucks on an Ocean's 11. That's what I'm here for. Watch big budget movies by guys who do a one for us, one for them. That's right. Like Avatar with the Navi. Yes. Everybody watch Avatar.

We've got fire and ice coming out soon. They're fired Avi. That's right. Scott, when you watch the first Avatar, was there a moment where you said they could do this with fire also? Well, the first avatar, they were in the air. Then the second one, they were in the water. Now they're in the fire.

In four, what are they, maybe they're in underground. What you're seeing before you is my mind being blown. I did not realize that they were in the water. the air in the first one and I guess you're totally right. Yeah, up in the trees. They should have put air in the title because I knew the second one was water because it's in the title. It's almost in the title. It should be Avatar, is what you're saying. It's a great note. Could they redo it like live, I repeat? Just changed the title for us. Thank you, Scott Akram. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Everyone goes to the avatar. It much like AI is propping up the entire industry.

Yes. Our whole economy crashes if AI crashes. How long before we get an AI guest on Comedy Bang Bang? Oh, I would love that. Don't you think it would be fun? Sometimes I think you're an AI guest. What do you mean by that, Scott? I'm not assuming as the day is long. You're clearly dead.

But, Scott, I don't know how many times I have to explain this. I died. Then I came back to Earth on the Comedy Bang Bang Tour, realized I hadn't finished one of the things on my bucket list, making a TV show called Entourage about a boy who moves to L.A. with all of his aunts and makes it big. And now I'm trying to do that. And once I do it, I can go to heaven.

You can finally ascend or descend or whatever you think you're going to follow that journey on Eat, Prey Dunk on Comedy Bang Bang World, and me and Mark Rennie. Were you a basketball fan, Emmy? No. No. You were not. And so you've never seen, first of all, the most orange ball in sports. Yes.

Did know that. Did know that. Okay. No. No. Is there a more orange ball? If there is, I haven't seen it. I mean, that's the one in the White House.

Maybe you mean the Cheeto in Chief? Where did you think of it, Scott? I was eating some Cheetos the other day, and I was like, this is a little familiar. Well, I tell you what, Scott Hockerman. If you let me and the boys hack in the backyard, we'll just crash at your place tonight. How about that? That's not an enticement for me. Okay, DoorDash 50-50 split.

Whatever you want in Los Angeles. Wait, 50 to 50, there's five of you, hacking. You pay half the bill? And the six of us pay the other half? No, absolutely not. Okay, well, I'm trying to meet you halfway. Compromises this soul of wit, Scott Ockerman. Give me something.

What do you have to offer? Okay. Let's see. I've got, well, I'm kind of in a fight with somebody on Facebook marketplace right now because I overpaid for a Joe Rogan kettlebell. I can give you the Joe Rogan kettlebell for $45. It's Joe Rogan's big head with the kettlebell handle. How much did you pay for it?

$450. Oh. That's a deal. 90% discount. You think that's a deal. That's what this guy's saying. Yeah. I'm not any stronger or funnier.

No, no, no, no. It's a deal for Scott. Oh, for Scott to have it. Thank you. Yes. Thank you so much for the support on that one, Mary Elizabeth. Yeah. I also feel like there is a benefit to maybe having these guys hack in your back.

I mean, you have a child. Don't you want her to see a grown man? With some sort of role models. Spending all of their time hacking in your back? I guess. It's a girl. great point. Speaking of capitalism, I mean, that's a great way for her to understand that like not everybody out here trying to make money. That's right. Yes. Not everyone can be a winner.

Some people have to be losers. So you're saying we're all losers because we're not playing to win and we're trying to hack in your back right now? That's right. If you're not winners, you're losers. Who is that? I think that's the Cheeto in chief. Oh my God. I think that's a wonderful idea. I appreciate the support on your end, M-E-E-E. And I'm wondering. Knee in there. What's that? Oh, Alice.

Yeah. Me. Me. Sounds like mini me. Yeah. Boy, he was funny, wasn't he? Remember the rap? The one that, wait, does he wrap in the middle of, uh, uh, just the two of us?

Just the two of us? I was in the theater with my friends and I remember looking at them and saying, this is exactly our sense of humor. Right. Well, we in the first time I saw that second, Austin Powers, my God. We in the franchise love to hear that. Oh, that's right. I forgot.

Big back. gold member. That's right. Big back and gold member. That's right. We as we in the franchise just love to hear that anyone enjoyed any part of, what's your YTD on that job? Uh, yeah, my, my, my, how much money I made on it. Yeah, exactly. When you're looking at that check, what's your YTD? I honestly do not know. I could, I could, I could maybe get that information from you. Although I hate, I hate to bother my people with that kind of trivial. No, hit them up, hit them up. What's my YTD on gold member, baby? We just want to know if you made enough to afford a Joe Rogan pedal bell second hand.

It might be about $45. I'm not quite sure. My question, I had a question. It was a great question. Oh, man. Oh, back to your child watching his hack in the back. Yeah. I would say that's a great idea if she could still be behind a glass or inside the house or something.

Because a lot of times if kids are watching, they accidentally become the hack and we're so in it. We don't even know. It's like during the World Series, those nets, you know, that are protecting everyone from the ball. It seems like they're just expanding and expanding because people keep getting hit with balls. That's why they're making them bigger. I thought it was just big net going like, hey, we can make this a little bigger for you. Yeah. But it's people get hit with balls.

I think so, yeah. I'm pretty sure. I didn't know that. I was watching. But then everyone's out there with their gloves because they want to be hit with the balls because they want to catch them, you know? I think they all want to join the teams. Yeah. Well, I've always said it.

If you go to a baseball game with a glove, you should be able to jump the vents and go and field some ground balls during the game. Yeah, why not? And if you're good, that's like an audition in a sense. Sure, yeah. You should be able to audition for anything that you're at any given time. And the manager should be there going like, you know what? Take his place. Yeah, get out there.

And I think the seed of the competition would make players play a lot. Look, what if Shohay knows that there's someone in the stands who's a hundred times more eager than him? He's going to try a little harder. Yeah. Finally. Lazy. He just looks like, he's not even breaking a sweat out there. Get off the bench, you know.

Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. I was leaning over to people. I'm in the nosebleeds and I'm leaning over to people. And I'm like, get off the bench. Are you in the nosebleeds? You're one of a sports greatest broadcasters. I don't know about you as a player. One of the greatest as well. A two-time champion could have been one of the great centers of all time if you ask me. But anyway, they put me in the nosebleeds. I have tickets for the front row. But my nose bleeds. So they put me up there because it gets on everybody. Oh, I understand. Runs right down. Runs all the way down to the field. Yes. It's a lot of blood. Yes, the fields are red with the blood of the wicked, which is me.

And it's the wicked because I'm painted green because I've just seen the movie and had a blast. Wicked for good, yeah. Coming out a week from Wednesday. Is someone here to plug that? Nope, just wanted to. I believe that's two weeks from Wednesday. Come on, man. We had a discussion about when this episode comes out right before we started this episode.

My bee, my bee, Big Doc. All right. I'm down to hack. Let's see. If we can find kind of, because this is all about compromise. This will be a little. I am trying to compromise. You haven't given me anything other than the kettlebell.

A kettlebell has to go. What's something that you want? Or like, what's something that, you know, Scott looks like he wants, you know? Because I can't read you right now, Scott. Corn dog. Corn dog, honestly, I would take a corn dog right now. No deal. It's no deal.

I can't make that work. You can't give up one of your corn dogs? Oh, I thought you were a vegetarian. So many corn dogs over there. I know, but I'm hoarding them. I'm hoarding the corn dogs because people are going to come for my corn dogs eventually. Zombie apocalypse? Exactly.

Some sort of pluribus situation going to happen? It's going to be pluribus. And everyone's going to first everyone's going to go, this is very interesting. I'm glad the big man's making a different tone of show. I'm curious to see where he's going to go with it. They're talking about Gilligan on that one. And then they're going to say, uh-oh. Gilligan.

Remember the skipper. Not really. I never watched it. You never watched Gilgan's Island. No, all I know is a three-hour tour from the Weird Al-Song. Yeah, it was black and white for a little bit, then it turned into color. Sure did. Everyone was, like, what if that happened these days, where you're watching a show for two whole years and it's just black and white?

And then it turns into black and white? Yeah. It would have to go the other way, right? Yeah, they'd have to reverse the show. Yeah. A man on the inside. Maybe so. A black and white man on the inside.

Although I guess Better Call Saul, a lot of that was black and white. That's true. So Gilligan did it. You were the synchronous man today. Okay, so Gilligan is out there saying, like, I want to make sure everyone knows this is influenced by Gilligan's Island. So he films part of Better Call Saul in black and white? I think that's the only explanation. I mean, you've got a closer end to Odin Kirk than I do.

But if you want, I can reach out and check in. Call him. Okay, we have a text once a year on his birthday, on his relationship, not on mine. And he texts you on his birthday, right? And he goes, waiting on that text, Gotti boy. Yeah, exactly. Well, gosh, Bill, I don't think it's going to happen for you, although I do want that kettlebell.

So this is just his face. It's not a sweaty shirt from his last stand-up special. No, the shirt was inaccessible. It's, you know, that thing's worth a lot of money. Yeah. But because, you know, it makes you look so in shape. Yeah. It's alpha or even Sigma kind of feel to it.

I didn't know we threw it up to Sigma. Which one's Sigma now? Sigma is where it's even better than Alpha. That's where you want to be. Wow. Wow. I got a, well, I got a rush a new frat then. Me too.

I got a lot of work to do. Yeah. Are you in a frat? Yeah. Which are you in? I'm in A.E. Pi, the Jewish fraternity. Oh, great. I actually make capa, capa, gamma.

And even though we're a sorority, we're actually a fraternity. What do you mean by that? We started before all the other sororities, so we're a fraternity. Yeah. Because on the campus, it had to be called something else. Isn't fraternity? Isn't the etymology of that, that it's a brotherhood? Sure. Yeah, yeah. But they're, and they hadn't, they hadn't started any other sororities yet. So we were like, guess we'll be a fraternity. You were the founding member. Yeah.

That's incredibly impressive. That takes a lot of work at effort in college. 1814. Yeah. When everything was black and white. I've always wondered this. Around you, things were black and white. Yep. You just, that's how you saw through your own eyes. Yep. Until like, right after World War II, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. That, that, that bomb exploded. right and everything was color everything was color yeah amazing well gosh bill uh i don't think it's going to happen but so call up the boys and say uh no go no dice fuck you hey bill you fucking prick what the hell bill i fucking hate me scott bill come on i ask for one nice thing fuck you fuck you fuck me fuck you fuck me fuck you fuck you don't fuck yourself bill we have to take break i'll stick around okay great we're going to take a break when we come back we have a team building expert and also a stand-up comedian.

We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Comedy Bang! Bang! We're back. Mary Elizabeth Ellis is here. A man on the inside comes back to our television screens or iPads or phones. I mean, we don't care what you watch this thing. There's so many ways to screen it. Just watch it. Just watch it. Season two out this Thursday. Also, Bill Walton is here. And I noticed the guys have arrived. You didn't call it. call them off? Yeah, the, well, we're on, we're on Apple texting, WhatsApp and Signal. Oh, so, yeah.

And you've seen those ads that are like the good Adam and the bad Adam? I think so, yeah. I think one of your friends is in it. Yeah, it's like a guy named Adam and another guy. Two friends of the show. They both been on this show. I forget which Adams they are. Adam Brody hasn't joined the three-timers club yet.

Things are going great for him. Oh, good for him. He's only in the two-timers club. I mean, he's also on a Netflix show. So come on. Right, yeah. He's top-lining it, of course. You're on the phone in several scenes.

I'm going to say this right now, actually, Scott Ackerman about that. I bet he's number two on the call sheet and so am I. Oh, really? Brody's too. Oh, yeah, he is. Oh, yeah. KB is up there at number one. Yeah, probably.

I'm going to say this right now, Scott Ackerman. And this is going to go viral. Are you ready for this? Oh, shit. All right. Here we go. I, a Jewish man, audition for a character on that show, a Jewish character. Bill Walton is auditioning for Netflix.

You got it. I'm submitting. I'm auditioning. Okay. And lo and behold, who do they cast? Timothy Simons, one of the least Jewish men I've ever met. I was on an improv team with this guy, and he couldn't have, I, I had to miss a practice for Yom Kippur, and he had no idea what I was talking about.

And here he is wearing, and I'll say it, and you can believe it if you need, Jew face, on this show, making millions of dollars, I'm assuming. I don't know the Netflix player pay right here. Millions. Well, I, a poor, poor. Poor poor man. Poor dead man. Who only came back to life

to try to get his show on the air. Can't even get his entourage on the air. And then Timothy rubs it in my face by doing a commercial that's all about how nice his car is. And it's so nice his parents think he's richer than he is. I think this guy is not even in the one-timers club. How? I think he's not.

Can you have us on together and we'll get into it about this? Yeah, I would love that actually. I think we'll break some stuff down. That's what the people want. Yes, maybe the holiday episode. Just fire everybody in it'll just be. Maybe he's been on once. Oh, I think he was on one.

A forgettable appearance. This was a full calendar year before M.E was on the show. This was in April of 2014. I can't believe anything ever happened before I was on this show. I know, yeah. I can't remember anything before that. There's definitely BMEE and A MEEE. Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, bowel movement, what? Yeah. Was that the new Little Trotson? BEL movement, what? All right, we need to get to our next guest. Uh, she's a till, uh, sorry, a team building expert, not a till beaming expert. Uh, she's been on the show once before. Please welcome, uh, back to the show, Chrisette. Hi, I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me. And I think I'm here at like probably the exact right time. Because I'm sensing a little bit

of tension in this room. A little disharmoning. Yeah. So we got into a big, uh, fuck me, fuck you off. Yeah. There's something happening. And I just, so a little bit of background. I'm a team building an expert, I get teams together from all kinds of companies. So you don't build them, you get them together. Right. They're already built, but sometimes they're not gelled or glommed, and they're not knowing how to work together, right? So we got to get them in a room. We got to do some team builded expert work. What's that now? Sorry, go ahead. Oh, some team building expert work. Right. Okay, I do have a little, um, a little bit of one confession. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So I was working He was the surgeons from Cedars Cy and I last night.

And we did an amazing team building workshop. And we were jelling and glomming so much. We were clumped and glommed. And we really wanted to keep the momentum going. So we went out. After the team building? Oh, wow. We went out all night and I have not been in yet.

So I'm still out. Oh, okay. I thought I was at a bar right now. But I- Then I introduced you? I thought that. And then you introduced me. You just thought that you were getting bad service at a bar?

I thought I was at a bar. I wonder why you were waving a 20 around. And then nobody was paying attention. And then I started hearing a conflict. And so I got interested because I like to build and glom after I hear something. No, you were booked on the show a long time ago. Frankly, I'm amazed you showed up. Are you in a self-driving car?

I was in a way, Mel, but I did have your address in my contacts. And so it sent me here. I thought I was going to birds. Oh, okay. Birds, rat. Were they Hulu Hoop on the table? They dance on the tables there and everything? Boy, yeah. These are local references, by the way. I needed like some chicken. And so, but here I am. I wanted some morning chicken. But I'm so happy to be here instead. Well, I'm glad you're here because honestly, there's some disharmony between Bill and I, and me and I. Yeah, me, Bill, and you. I think that there's some really, some good team building we can do here. Let's do it. I'm so sorry that you're not. I'm so sorry that you're not. not feeling at your best. No, I feel amazed. I literally feel amazing. Oh, I mean, yeah. I mean, you're obviously still kind of drunk.

Yeah, you live. Great. No, thank you so much. Yeah, there's so much glitter on your face. We went to, so after Cedars, Surgeons, Sesh. Sure. We started at Woods, Woody Harrelson's Weed Lounge. Oh. So then we started there and then we popped over to Boa's Steakhouse, had a nice little steak.

Then we went to the Abbey and things got a little ice. out of control. And then we popped over to the Scientology Center just to grab some brochures. And then we went to the valley. All the way to the valley. You're going all across L.A. We went to the valley. And I thought that Dimples was still open, but apparently is permanently closed.

It's where you do karaoke. Karaoke, yes. So I did just pop everybody into the street and we did a little karaoke in the street. Okay. Did you have any backing tracks? I want to know your song. What's your go-to? Well, I have a confession.

in me. Oh. You have a lot of confessions today. Yeah, I love it. I am also a Kavakama. Whoa. We are sisters in the mystic,

brothers in the mystic bond. Are you really? Yes. No wonder you're drunk at breakfast. Thank you. Yes. And so our sorority song was like a prayer.

Oh. Madonna. So. Madge. Madge. So that's my song. Oh. Bill, you don't like that song? It's a blasphemous song

and an even more blasphemous music video. There was so much controversy around the music video. Leave Catholicism alone. And I believe wasn't she using a crucifix in the tour behind that to maybe To stimulate her. Madonna. Nobody says what you have to do with that thing. You could do whatever you want with that.

Well, it's just a difference of opinion. To me, I think that's a, that's a, that's a cross too far to bear. Mm. Oh, you're offended. Pun unintended. Okay, well, this is a brave space and you're allowed to say exactly what you want. It's a what space? Brave.

Brave. Brave. I am nose to know. I was with you on that one. Okay, let's get out of, does anyone have a penny? I mean, they stopped making them a while back, so I, I mean, I have my penny collection. Well, this is, this is an exercise called Penny for your thoughts. Okay.

Does anyone have a penny? This is like a 1919B that is silver when they were just. Here you go. They weren't making them out of zinc yet. This is a perfect exercise for team building and getting to know each other. Great. Okay. M.E.

Yes. So what's the day on that penny? I know, I know, I know, I know. Hey. I know it. Try, go. 1959. Wrong, 14.

Just 14. 14. 1459. Yeah. 1459. Okay. So, here's the exercise. What is a memory you have from that year?

Yeah, yeah. Now it's pretty hard. I need a date, though. Oh, it's been a minute. And I already said I don't believe that anything happened before I was ever. I know. But you are an immortal. We haven't covered that on the show yet. No, I don't like to talk. You're a highlander. I like to brag. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But, um, stones. Oh, okay. I love that. A lot of stones back. So many stones. You loved working with stones and with

different, um, materials. Could throw a rock without it was. It was. Yeah. Exactly. And it was pre-black and white. Yeah. Oh, pre. So you just saw like C. So what is it? Clear? Yep. Clear. Speaking of psychology. Wow. Amazing. Well, I feel like I get to know her so much better. Thank you for asking. Thank you. Yeah, you're so welcome. I knew that she was very selfish with the penny and that I had the right date and nobody said, good job to me. That's what I learned.

I have a penny here. Okay, great. 2014. 2014. I would love to hear what was a great memory from that year for use? Tim Simons came on comedy bang, bang. Okay. And did an incredible episode with Matt Walsh was there and...

Anyone can do a good episode with Matt Walsh. Yeah, I don't think either of... him did characters who was I'm talking about their new VIPP podcast I think they were actually or they had some sort of podcast going I don't think it was VEP yet well I think podcasts I'm just gathering

our fantastic way to gel and glom am I wrong I can I ask you I don't really know what glom means like when I think of glomming it's like someone glombing right here's the look again here's the look again let the fraternity girls explain it okay glombing is when you get

together in a group and you really glom up. What does glom mean to you? I think he was asking what it means to you, actually. What it means to me is like to gel or to stick. Or to glue. Have you heard of glue? I've heard of it. I love the stuff.

Me too. So it's like putting things together and it's like you're not separate anymore. You're glommed to each other. Okay. You're clinged, you're glommed, sometimes to an unhealthy degree and that's fine. Okay, you want me to unhealthly glom myself to Scott? Yes. Another word that I learned from the Cedars surgeons last night is coagulate.

Coagulate, a lot like what blood does. That's right. So that's another way to say it, and I'll probably use that in my roster now. Okay. Of words. I would love to coagulate and glom off of Scott Ockerman, and I am trying to. I don't think it's reciprocal, though. See, what if someone wants to glom on you and you don't want to be glombed?

That's a really good question. That's what we call the old oil and water. That's right. And a really good exercise for that is, does anyone have an egg? I mean, I have three right over there. Is that enough? Do you have a spoon? I mean, I only have two spoons.

Okay. Let's use one with words then. Does anyone have two tooths and one lie? Two tooth? Two truths? Yes. And a lie. Or does anyone have a ski that we could put shots into and we can all do the shots together?

I think that's what you were doing last night. I don't think that relates to it. But it really is so good for it. It did bring you guys together. It does. You all have to work as a team to get that shot. Are they still with you, by the way? Did they come over with you?

Because we have a different group who seems to arrive in the back here. I see them back there and they're hacking away. Damn, they're happy with the boys. The surgeons are back at surgery, you know? Some of them had to go to surgery and clock out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I see some guys with masks back there.

Oh, no, that's, that looks like Big Trev. Actually, it has a mask on. What kind of mask is that? Well, he's just being COVID safe. And then that's got COVID, so he puts on his ghost face mask. That's not safe. And then that's Dr. Michelson back there, the hand surgeon.

Dr. Michaelson. I tell you what, that guy could work a shoulder on the hack. Yes. Look at that. He's a wet surgeon? A hand surgeon.

Wonderful. He should be a foot surgeon with that technique. Scott taught me that pickup line when he was reading the game. Yeah. You should be a foot surgeon with that technique? Yes. Yes. It's like how Jeff Goldblum always compliments people's hands and says they should play piano.

Scott thought of his version of that. Because I've never noticed that. He does that once per movie, right? Yes, yes. A few times in the fly, but you just can't understand it near the end. I'm loving this. We're all laughing. I do love this.

We're all laughing together. Can I have some of that water? I do feel glommed. You want some of which water? Sure, yeah. I'm really thirsty. There you go. Okay.

Thank you. Can I say, I don't know if you're responsible for this, but your Waymo is getting a DUI out there right now. Oh, no, that's good. Oh, that's good. I like to defer my DUIs. I have to say I don't like WAYOI's. I don't like Waymo's because I miss people when I'm in them. I know.

It's the human touch. I know I like to be with people. I don't like to be alone. You seem like a real people person. I am. I love people. You did your whole big thing last night. Then you spent all night with the surgeons and then you just rolled up right here with these people.

Yeah, I love to get groups together. I love to talk to people. It's my favorite thing in the whole world. Has you never said, Chrisette, though, that you maybe have a fear of being alone. No. Really? Mm-hmm, no. You seem shaken by that and rattled.

No. No. No. What percentage of the day are you just alone with your thoughts? What's another exercise we can do? Oh, boy. I mean, you're the one who knows the exercises. Okay, listen, I don't have a lot of alone time.

I go home to my roommates, and we all hang. How many roommates do you have? I have 14 roommates. That's a lot of roommates. We have an amazing house in the hills. Okay. It's kind of like the show. American Apparel House?

Yes. Oh, my God. Yeah, we all wear a lot of tights. So fun. Yeah, it's really fun. We're models. What makes it the American Apparel House? Does Dov Charney own it?

Yes. Yeah. And then the great thing about it is I think you can have sex anytime you want. That's right. Oh, I'm in one of those houses where you can't do that. Oh, no. You've got to get in a sex house. That's not by choice, actually.

Yeah, neither is this. Oh, okay. No, but I really got my experience living in a house like this. from the fraternity. Yeah. When we lived in... We all lived in, we slept in a cold dorm or a warm dorm. Did you have this?

Is that like hot yoga and regular yoga? It's like we all slept in one big room. Oh, okay. And you can either choose the hot room or the cold room. And so you all sleep in there. Depending on if you sleep warm or if you say, okay. You can choose which one. How many people choose the hot room?

50. 50% or 50 people oh okay and then is it only one person in the cold room and that's why it's cold no there are 50 people in there too so it's even split you keep the windows open in which room in the winter this current house sounds incredible I of course I am happily married to my wife who is currently exploring other people but I am fine monogamously so I won't need sex all the time but I'd love to move into this American apparel house life said Look, I hate the guy Dov Charnie, but ever since he left that place, I can't find a goddamn good hoodie anywhere. Right? Those zip-ups? Yes.

Come on. Come on. Those zip-ups so good. So soft, so comfortable. I keep telling the Upright Sisters Brigade Theater, if you don't bring that hoodie back, I'm not doing shows here. Right.

You're not doing shows already here. And then I go to birds, and I order a nice dry lavash and a wet bean soup. What's the dry lavash? It comes standard there. It comes standard. Yeah, you just say that get me, the chicken and it's that you probably thought

that it was some sort of broilopad or something on the side of your plate but it's the it's the bread that comes next to your chicken people who live in one part of L.A. are lovingness. I tell you everyone comes here they want to see comedy and then they go to birds because they're like I keep hearing about this dry lavash on Comedy Bang Bang I have to try it

and it's like you can but the body of the security arm's going to put his hand on the lower back every once in a while oh I met him last night oh yeah okay let that go You still have the handprint on your back. Yeah, he really got on there. I hope he got by behind you, even though there was a ton of space.

Yeah, no, there was a ton of space. But the surgeons were, they beat him up for me. Oh, man, I wish I had, my crew won't, that we're all pacifists. Yeah, sure. So we try to do peaceful, it means. I'm sorry, I need some team building here. Yes, oh, my God, I would love it. MEE keeps changing my volume on my headphones.

Okay. I think she thinks she's changing hers, and it's really making me pissed off. No, no, no, no, I definitely knew what I was doing. Okay, I have a... You're turning him down or up? Yes. Okay. I thought I was going crazy for a second.

I have amazing work through for this. Okay. Does anyone have a potato sack? I have about 12 over there in the corner. Okay. Well, we're going to get you guys in one potato sack and you're going to hop from one side of the room to the other. Okay. In the same sack?

In the same sack. One leg in this? No, both legs in one sack. I have an extra wide sack. In sack. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like he has a lot of sack experience, and I don't know that I don't have that much

sack experience. He's got a hacky sack experience. That's what I'm saying. Does it translate? I've got all sack experience. Hacky sack, love sack, ball sack. I've been all right. And see, I don't have a ball sack, so.

That's right. Yeah. But you can hear him talk about sack and you relate. Get in the same. Oh, don't know. in the sack down. Oh my God, hold on. Let me ride this.

I got to write this down. Get in the sack. Get in the sack. Get in the sack. Get in the sack. He went face first. How am I supposed to? All right.

Are we doing face to foot? Yeah. Crotch to crotch. I'll stand up. Get in the sack 69. 69 sack. All right. It's early, but okay.

And you guys are going to wiggle across the room. I want to make sure I get asked back for a fourth time here. They're both in the sack. What do you want them to do now? They're going to hop from one side to. the other side of the room. Okay. Okay.

So it looks like... And we're going to cheer. Your feet are out, Bill. So maybe... So I'll hop against gravity. Okay. And you need to turn upside down, Amy. No, no.

I stand up right. He's got to hold his hands on like my kind of waist above. So we're crotch to crotch. I don't want to do any improprieties here. I will do my hands around your waist, but not touching it the way Keanu Reeves takes photos with women. Okay.

So you're just going to hold your hands up so they're visible the entire time? Yes, yes, yes. I appreciate that. Okay, now get to hop in. Okay, here we go. We're almost there, keep going. I actually really like this. This feels good.

This is sounding like you're glommed. You guys are glommed. Yeah. This is how glom feels. We're really, we're really coagulating. Yes. Unlike your nose. Incredible.

Now you and I weren't in the sack together, so I still say, fuck you. You'll never be in the sack with me. Fuck you, man. Fuck me, fuck you. Fuck me, fuck you. Can you stick around, Bill? For the duration. Oh, okay, great.

We need to take a break. Cruchette, very good team building. Thank you very much. I'm honored. I'm honored to built this house. Yeah, I don't think you built anything. You just kind of glommed everything together. But you could maybe change yourself to a team glommer expert or something.

Comedy, bang, bang, we're back. Mary Elizabeth Ellis, a man on the inside is back for season two on this Thursday. And we're at a community college. Is he a professor there? What is he, what's he up to?

He is, yeah, he's pretending to be a professor. Of what? Architectology. Architectology, okay, yeah, okay. Well, this sounds like a dynamite show. Plus, we have Bill Walton, who's trying to sell entourage with the aunts. Yes. And I guess auditioning for other shows in order to get his foot in the door.

If I can, I feel like the best way to sell a TV show is to audition for a series regulars on other shows. We also have cruciettis here, a team glomming experts. Yes, right. That's right. You've changed the website, I noticed. Yes. Thank you so much. This is gorgeous.

Did you see that I work with Dave's hot chicken last week? Oh, you did? Dave's hot chicken last night? Yeah. Is this before the surgeons? It was before the surgeons, but we all met out. Oh, okay. Yeah, I've noticed their websites now says Dave's mild chicken to do.

Is that something you did? Yeah, I thought we don't want to be too. Don't want to be too hot. Yeah. It's keeping me away, honestly, for meeting a Dave's. Yeah. I don't want to be this. Not everybody wants hot.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what I always say about chicken. Not everyone wants hot. I hate going to a chicken place that doesn't even say they're hot. Do you want to burn yourself? Yes. Who wants to do that? Not on chicken. What do you want to burn yourself on? A stove. You want that? I mean, sometimes it makes you feel alive. That's right. Absolutely. If you're not touching a hot stove once every once in a while, just to know that you're alive. How are you going to appreciate the times that you're not burned, you know, with a third degree burn? Exactly. Gratitude practice.

Exactly. Well, we need to get to our next guest. This is exciting. He's a stand-up comedian, here to lighten the mood a little bit. Please welcome for the first time on the show, Lotto Bosco. Hello, my little roses. I hope you bought your comedic appetize. Because I got that laughful buffet. Yeah, comedic appetites. Yes, okay, yeah. We're ready to laugh. Lotto, Bosco, so great to have you on the show. Yeah, I've been in the game for a long time, my little baby. And I got a big old show at the Mall of America. I got it, sell tickets, baby. Okay, out there in Minnesota. Yeah. You ever been to seeing the comedy club inside of the Mall of America?

I have, yes. Nick Swartz didn't said it was a good club. Yeah, I'm performing right next to it in the world of socks, baby. Oh, the World of Sox. Yeah, baby. Every type of sock you imagine. Think of a socks, got us. Short?

Got it. Go ahead. Think of any other type of socks. thinking tall knee length yeah um the kind with the curls on the edges you better believe ruffles yeah you better believe that the world is not have a little bit of ruffles when a lot of bus go make it a joke what about stocks had pictures of ruffles potato chips but not actual ruffles on the let me go on google potato or s a i so it's quicker for me yeah they got that up in there baby they got that up in there big that was the a i answer what about that's the a i answer what about

They said big time. They said big time on the site. I program my chat GPT. You know how you can train your chat GPT to talk to you how you like? Yeah. I train mine to only say big time. How often does it say big time then, 90% of the time? 100% of the time.

I don't know if I would trust the information coming out of that. Well, a lot of things that I thought were true actually are not. And a lot of things that I didn't think happen. are happening. Wow. It's like Gabe Liebman being one of our most, yes. Oh, I thought you raised your hand. You're just raising, you're raising the microphone stand, right? Oh, yeah. But you're so tall that when you reach up to something, it looks like you're raising. It's school. I'm always answering questions that I don't have the answer to. But I'm usually just raising my microphone stand. Well, what are you in school for? Currently? Yeah. Oh, I am taking a pre-calc.

Post-calc as well, right? And post-calc. And I'll tell you what, You just want to work around the edges. What about present cal? I had a lot of trouble stay. I had to drop it. I couldn't stay present in the count. Okay. That's reminding me.

Okay. And this could be something. I've been in the game for a long time. So I have a bit about any type of thing. And I have a mathematics joke. If you guys want to hear this. You have a what joke? Mathematics.

Yeah. Okay. One seven walk into the club to have a little party with number nine. how come number eight fell so alone? Is this a variation on the 7-8-9? They weren't glommed? Because big time.

I do have to confess something. Yeah, a lot of... Oh, a lot of confessions. This is a big... I feel like usher here. There's so many confessions. I feel like we're on The Bachelor. At this point,

Chad GBT is writing the punch lines and I write the setups to the jokes. You got to do that the reverse way. Have chat B. GT write the setup and me write to... Yeah, because honestly, that one didn't really make a lot of sense. Okay, let me try one. It just said big time, which you've trained your chat GPT to say. It got me a setup now.

Let me try this one. Big time, women are different than men. Okay. I mean, this is fertile ground for comedy. That's not bad. I don't think I've ever heard anything. Yeah, baby. Okay, in what ways are the difference?

Okay, let's find that out right now. You're entering it into chat GPD? Well, I'm typing in, give me the setup. up for how different are men from women. This is the punchline, but yeah, go ahead. Scott kind of did that work for you all right. Let me see if I got this right, because I've been in the game for a long time. I'm always...

Can I ask what you say a long time, but that could mean anything, because, like, in the course of human history, that's, you know, just a blip. Okay. So in terms of human history to 45 years old, I'm 45 years old. And I did my first joke when I came out of my mommy. Oh, really? What was that joke? Do you remember? I want to know. Wea.

Wee. And the doctor says, uh-oh, sounds like we got a case of this baby. It's funny. With the diagnosis? Yeah. And he diagnosed me with other stuff as well,

but I don't talk about that. What's going on? Do you still have any of it? Yes. I would think so. Yes. I'll tell you this. I am very curious.

about any someone that says that are a stand-up I say you're taking a huge risk sure you know you're doing something honorable it's the most vulnerable yeah brave space we're um mind meld we just said vulnerable yes vulnerable yeah you learn all about my meld if you do stuff improv comedy and 90% of my set sorry your melb if you do my meld get it through your head if you do my meld you're gonna be able to work that into your set at the world of sucks so i do a lot of my mail being in my set some people do crowd work i say excuse me miss say a word after i yeah this will be a example of my crowdwork one two three big time okay i don't think that was pretty funny though right i mean that's not bad material though and you said big time and that's it did make me laugh

but I don't know why. It didn't make me laugh that much, but I do feel like if I was surrounded by socks, I would have found it. Yes. So that's something you probably work into your... Oh, 90... The other 90% of my stand-up comedy,

that's not my male or saying big time. It's going to be about soaps. Okay. Could I ask, the life of a touring stand-up? Oh, yeah, baby. It doesn't sound like he's touring. Yeah, do you sound like he's like one venue? Yeah, I tour a lot, baby.

Oh, okay. I have to go to my car to do. drive home okay that's a tour yeah what were you gonna ask bill well it's a lonely life even if you're just going to this show into your car you know you end up you people think you're so gregarious because you're talking from an audience but at the end of the day you're all alone people have to accept that what's your family life like okay so I got a couple of kids and I bring them with me for all of my comedy shows okay and the audience babysit they're all babysitters. I only

invite babysitters. You only invite babysitters to your show. Do you have to pay them all? This sounds like an expensive proposition. I'm losing a lot of money. That's why I'm on the show. I got to get some people that are in babysitters. Or if you are a babysitter, buy a ticket still. Because I only need two babysitters, one for each boy. Okay, yeah.

I remember Scott and I went to the comedy mothership when we were touring Texas. And I remember leaning over and saying, the laughs are here, but I'm missing some sort of paternal element, like, inside of me, and I can't laugh as hard. I wish I was being sat by some sort of

a babysitter. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Well, then you, Bubby, gotta come to the world of shots where I'm going to play my mouth with two babysitters for about a tight five hours.

Five out. Oh, okay. That's not time. That's a loose five. Right when the timer goes off, I say bye. Okay. Just bye. I will come with your World of Sox if you do have, I think I bled all over MEE's Ruth Bader Ginsburg socks. So I'd love to replace those. Thank you.

If they have those there. Yeah, they do. And I get, for payment from World of Sox, my cut is that I get one copy of every single sob, baby. That's a lot of sucks. When you've been in the game this long, you get one copy. of every shop from world of sob. And you're only paying 50 babysitters for five hours.

If I'm lucky. And you only have two children or you only get sitters for the boys? I reach out to all babysitters in a Facebook group and I say, I need to show up if you are ready. And then

around 50 show up and I have to pay them two or on the clock and they play my with me and the other 48 people there just have a wonderful time baby i feel like i i totally understand i understand what i don't know if it's yeah um sock shopping happening during the show oh yeah it's loud i got to compete with a lot of babies a lot of um transaction well the problem is that a lot of mothers see a post for babies And so they're coming and they're leaving the children with they're leaving their kids while they go somewhere else

You're being taken advantage of you're paying 50 babysitters to babysit the entire neighborhood But I get one copy of each sock how many socks do they sell one hundred So you get are you just getting one sock or are you getting the pair they he's getting a copy Yeah do you like a like a sheet of paper that they print out a picture. They print out a Xerox picture of one of the socks. Okay. And they say, if you sell a hundred tickets, you get a picture of the other sock. Okay. That otherwise, they keep it and it's their cut. Yeah, this is a bad deal. I have to say, Lotto Bosco, you're getting taken advantage up by the entire community. I think that you might be right. I think, I think we are right. I think we are right. I can't be as

and ChappiPT how to do stuff no. No. Is it Chatt GPT or Chappi GPT? Because this is a very different thing if it's a little robot. I use a little guy named Chap Gbb. I was wondering what Chappie was up to

since that movie. Last I heard from him, he had a book. Really? That's what he says in the movie. Chappi has a book? Scott hasn't seen. I'll have to take your work. Oh my gosh. Bill, do you want to come on Scott hasn't seen and watch Chappie with me? It is what if he growled. Time great movies featuring the man and woman from D. Antwerd as two unlikely parents of a robot.

And for this reason, I'm out. Okay, okay. What about you, Mr. Wonderful? But I was going to ask, Scott, you, I mean, and really, I don't know. Get your thoughts together. Go ahead. Oh, you brought up Chappie. Don't bring up Chappie and expect him to keep talking. Now you're just thinking about Chappell.

I literally see a thought bubble above your head and there's a picture. of Chappie in there. Right next to Hugh Jackman with a mullet and little shorts, which is his outfit in the movie. I'm back in, by the way. And I think MEEE, and I'm not sure about you as a team builder, but I know you two have connections to the comedy world. And I really think that what this man needs is just a show at a legitimate club.

This is going to be my pitch. What do you think about moving to L.A. Working on your set here, I have team built for the comedy store. I have team built for UCB. I have team built for cedar surgeons. I have ins for you. You can live at the American Apparel House. There are so many babysitters.

Well, I have a surprise for you. I already live in L.A. You're commuting to the ball of America? This is even worse. Yeah, but it's only one show of weed. Are you driving or flying? Driving. You're driving.

Driving. So it takes you what? three days to get there? 24-hour drive. 24-hour drive. But I do it in one shot. Okay. Hopefully it's a Waymo and not your driving. Oh, it's a Waymo, baby. Big time.

When you've been in the game as long as me, you get a waymo to Minnesota for once a week. To pay 50 babysitters. For a Xerox, 100 Xeroxes of one sock. That's the game, baby. I don't know. But yeah, that sounds incredible. I already live here, so that'll be easy. So you want to just move on in?

We had one girl just move out because she got a job in Hawaii. Oh, God, I thought you were going to say the Mall of America. I was going to be so excited. You would have someone to ride with. There was a girl who got a job at Mall America at babysitting. Wait a minute. What is Tiff one of your babysitters? Big time, baby.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Does she know how? How to do mine melt? Yes, I do it with them every morning. I think that we might be thinking of the same lady named Tiff who drive to Mall of America. This is.

That was a mine meld in a way. I think my comedy's cured, baby. You're, you don't have to do stand-in-in-comedy anymore? I quit. Oh, wow. I mean, that's a successful episode of Comedy Bang Bang, where whoever comes on, quits their job at the end of an episode. I got to say.

It kind of feels like what your ultimate goal has been this whole time. I mean, honestly, it feels like everyone who comes on this show with a job is bad at their job. No. They all should quit. I don't... Oh, present company.

I don't want to... I don't want to drop these good vibes. But I felt like I was getting that free room in the house. And now this fucker comes in here and immediately scoops me. And it's like, yet again, oh, Billy Boy, the nicest guy around. finish his last. I feel like Stanley Ipkiss.

Who's Stanley Ipkis again? Jim Carrey's character in the mask. By the way, Jim Carrey, a guy who went to the bathroom in one of his movies. Did he not? Oh, yeah, wait. You don't want to go in there. Or which one are you thinking of? I'm thinking of Ace Ventura where he says, do not go with him? Oh, you're right. Wow. But he lied about going to the bathroom if we're being very particular. He didn't actually go. Yeah, Jeff Daniels Daniels does actually go in Dublin. That's true.

Scott Rockman, I can give you for $95. a photo of Jeff Daniels on the toilet and dumb and dumber legs out screaming If you let me in the boys You just took a picture of the TV screen Because it was so awesome I was like I need this on a wall It's not even like a press photo or anything

I don't oh you what do you want me to pay fucking big Getty for that Yeah I need Balthazar Getty To get a little money from that Not gonna happen but I feel like I was lied to by you You promised me a room And then you immediately offered it to this comedian

Check the tape. I don't think I promise you anything. Can we check the tape? Let's rewind. Way of water. You went back too far. Okay, let's fast forward a little bit. Could I stay in the house?

Sure. Yep, it's right there. Oh, shoot. Okay. I didn't remember it that way either. That's interesting. Memory is a tricky thing. It's like the Berenstein Bears.

In what way? The Bernstein bears? Yeah. Have you ever like, I'm Mandela? Yeah, the Mandela. Weird guy, right? Nelson Mandela. Well, Lotto, you no longer have to be a stand-up comedian.

What are you going to do with your time in L.A.? Great, crochet. Well, you promised me that you would take me to UCB. Yes? She knows a lot of chicken places. Maybe you could be the new doorman at birds. Let me see you try to grasp the back of Crouchette's lower back here. Oh, here you go.

Ouch. Oh, nope. That's good. That's not a good job for you. I like that. I have a team building expert later today at Big O Tires. Would you want to be my intern? Be your intern and T people had a glom at a tire store?

Big O tires. Do I get tires? Maybe. Pictures of tires, maybe. Yeah. At least copies. Sounds like we're about to answer at the same time. One, two, three.

Can't wait. Oh. And I. That's close of judges? I would have thought big. time. I'm done with bedtime. I'm never asking Chappie for anything anymore. Oh, poor

Chappie. Yeah, he's fired. He'll find his way out. He always does. No spoilers. We got to watch this, Bill. Oh, Scotty, too hotty. I can't wait, brother. Chappie. A little robot. Well, it's a big robot. Is he a big robot? I always imagined him like Wally. I'm thinking of Wally.

Yeah. Or short circuit. Johnny 5 is alive. Chapy definitely is standing on the shoulders of giants vis-a-vis Johnny 5 and Wally Wally was after Chappie though, wasn't he? Really?

I have no idea. We're going to settle this on Scott hasn't seen, I think Ninja and Yolandi have a lawsuit on their hand. I have a question about Scott hasn't seen. Have you watched Sleeper? I have, yes. Another robot in that movie. But there's a robot in that one. Yeah, pleasure robot is it? Yeah, so Orgasmatron.

Yeah, but you bring that up because you just want to ask me about Woody Allen, is that right? Yeah, same favorite. There's also an orgasm. Don't love his work, love him as a person. Orgasm robot in Barbarrella, no? Oh. They put her inside like an orgasm.

Which one came first? Barbarolo is in 69, I believe, up top. Hey, thank you. Smack, smack, smack. Throw it down one time, Scott Okerman. Sleeper in 78. Am I getting these dates right? I think so, yeah.

I did watch Barbarella for Scott. You sound like me on a first date. Am I getting these dates right? Yes. A lot of Bosco likes it Barrella is in 1960 You should be a stand-up comedian Oh I tried it

I tried it Sleepers in 19703 You were five years off So he stole the idea I think so I don't like him anymore You don't like Woody Allen anymore No

He stole it Just when he got funding for his next project I don't like him That was the final straw That's it I I, I, I, I, I, I, if you, Oh, he's thinking about chappy again.

Yeah. Now he's thinking about chappy and it's dissolved into chappy on a, on a spit. Wow. Being roasted over an open flame. You're thinking about eating chappi? Like chappie. What can I say? Gobble, gobble, scott, okay.

Gopble, gauble, indeed. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I cannot wait, but unfortunately we do have to. We are running out of time, guys. I'm so sorry. But Lotto Bosco, thank you so much for being here. I'm so glad you quit your job. It's like a nightmare for.

you yeah thank you scotby um but uh we are running out of time we only have time for one final feature on the show and that is of course a little something called plugs it's time to open the plug back so let us know what you've got going on and they get funny how nobody seemed to understand that scotty has but one day man keep it short all right that was Keep it chart by Night Sobs, N-I-T-E Sobs. Sounds like a real band who probably has an actual career out there going, you know, maybe appearing in the Mall of America.
