Toast may be quicker, but oatmeal is thicker. Either way, why are you eating breakfast when there are so many zombies out in the yard? Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. That was a catchphrase submission from Wool the Clown. Thank you to Wool the Clown for that catchphrase submission. I don't know. I don't like it. It was too hard to say.

Now, the hunt continues, the hunt continues, but this show will also continue and I'm so happy you're listening to it. My name is Scott Aukervit, I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have an exceptional show a little bit later. We have a grief counselor and we also have an animal. Hmm, I wonder if it's animal from the Muppet Show. I love animal.

Yeah, you have an animal energy about you. Thank you. Oh no, I meant- Manzukas. I meant Gonzo. No, Manzukas has a Gonzo energy. Yeah. Maybe because of the hair.

Sure, there's a lot of hair there. Yeah. But I have a different animal. No, you have an animal energy about you. Do I have a Dr. Teeth energy about me? Yeah. I'm just cool. Yeah, you are, yeah.

Honestly, that's a fair, I think that's a good comp for you. People say I'm Kermit, but I take offense because he's such an uptight little- You're Kermit presenting, but in reality, you're Dr. Teeth. I'm Dr. Teeth, yeah. Yeah, I know, you're Dr. Teeth. Oh'm Dr. Teeth? Yeah, I know, you're Dr. Tooth.

Oh, just one tooth? Just one tooth. Okay, well. So, have you watched the Muppets movie? Have you showed? Have I watched the Muppets movie? Yeah, have you ever seen it? I gotta see it.

This is another conversation. We don't have time to do it, Nick hasn't seen an episode here, but. Let's do that. Yeah, but let me welcome our guest of honor. Eight years ago, a show burst onto the scene on a little platform called Netflix that up till then had just been sending DVDs

in the mail to people. Yeah, and then? And then this show burst onto the scene and has completed eight incredible seasons. Yeah. It is concluding its run. And what better way to celebrate it than coming on this show with a guy who's never seen it hosting it

and none of the writers nor cast would show up to celebrate. Burned, I burned so many creative bridges in the process of making this show. And to be here with you, someone who's never seen the show. Someone who was drawn on the show. Drawn, someone who believes that he was drawn on the show, won't accept that of course. Paul of Tompkins Eye, we're drawn on the show and we're not allowed to voice the characters apparently.

And specifically not allowed to, not even not cast but not allowed to. That was the one stipulation. But still. Someone who looks a lot like David Caruso while Paul F looks like- Dennis Frans? No, Dennis Farina.

These are not compliments. Dennis Farina. That at worst. In any case, Big Mouth is wrapping up its run here on Netflix. He is here to celebrate it. He is making his 48th appearance on Comedy Bang Bang. Is that for real?

That is for real. Holy shit. That is an average of three a year. That's fucking, that's what I'm talking about. Yes. Keep it the original 48. Who needs, who needs the, what do you call the? Who needs Hawaii and fucking Canada, you know?

You think Canada is the 50th state? Right? I got it right. But Big Mouth Season 8 is out now. His show that he's producing, Adults, is out this week, I believe. And then his film, I Don't Understand You comes out June 6th. Please welcome back for his 48th appearance, Nick Kroll. Thank you so much for having, thanks guys.

Thank you guys so much. Thanks for having me. 48th appearance, that's crazy. Isn't it amazing? And you know, they must have been in the early years because you- It's been a little less frequent. A little sparse.

I go, hey, I'd love to come in and do a deep dive on Big Mouth. And then Scott's like, yeah, you know, we've been so busy at the show. Well, I mean, to be fair, this was rescheduled three times and some of the guests that I originally had could no longer make it. No, of course, no, I feel like right now, you mentioned those three things,

I'm very incredibly blessed to have all of them coming at once and I made you reschedule me and I am so grateful. But you're here now, you're here in the hot seat. I'm in the late, it's late afternoon versus the morning after the premiere. And I'm- The premiere of Adults we should mention,

which comes out this week. Yes, which I'm very excited about. And would it surprise you to learn that I've seen two episodes? There you go. I do my research on this show other than watching Big Mouth. At this point it's like though,

let's go through the stats because these were sent to me by Netflix. What do we have? We have 81 episodes. Of Big Mouth. Of Big Mouth. Of Big Mouth. 20 episodes of Human Resources, which of course, as you know intimately,

the spin-off you were major HR. All those characters from Big Mouth, they're all over on Human Resources. You get it. The cops that are based on you and Paula have a 12 episode there. Only series regulars on the show. Seasons one through seven have included 71 episodes

and nearly 2,000 minutes of awkwardness. Okay. That resulted in over 50 Emmy nominations. This show's been nominated for Emmys. And you know what the great part is? I personally have never had to deal with that. In what way? I've never been nominated.

You've never been nominated. I've never been nominated. So these are all Emmys that are not for the show, like, cause you, cause as a producer, or not for you personally as a performer. No, it's for the show itself. I guess I was nominated as a creator of the show. Didn't it win one for show?

It's won a couple. It won Outstanding Animated Program, according to this email I received. Well, there you go. I don't know if that's true. I don't think that's true. We want to make- Sorry, this series brought home Netflix's

first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. This series brought home Netflix's first Emmy nomination for outstanding animated program. There you go, there you go. That's what they're looking for. To just bring the taste of it that close to an early Netflix. You know, it was a DVD business and then people saw our- And then Lillie Hammer.

Yeah. And of course it was us and Lillie Hammer. It was an animation, it was all DVD and then they saw all the children masturbating and they realized they couldn't send it over state lines. Exactly. And so it had, and that's how streaming started.

That's why streaming started so people could watch your show and masturbate at home. So they could stream. Maya Rudolph, who I'm reading is on this show, won four Emmys for this. Yes, she's won four Emmys. This has like been a real- A real boond Emmys for this. Yes, she's won four Emmys. This has like been a real... A real boondoggle for her.

Yeah, really. No, she's... Can you imagine how many Emmys I would have won if I had voiced this policeman character? Oh my God. I mean, I don't know how you... I guess they would give you and Paul the Emmys for like the first duo. Co-Emmys.

Co-Emmys. Best duo. Best duo. The artist who drew you guys has won multiple Emmys for his adaptation. I would expect nothing less. Yeah, yeah. David Caruso himself has now won several Emmys for it.

Okay, sure. Across its eight seasons, 222 guest stars lent their voices. Wow, they could have made that 224. lent their voices. Wow, they could have made that 224. Nick Kroll has voiced 81 characters and that's as many episodes as exist. That's, we have one voice, one line, one line per episode. Hi.

Hi. Does anyone need penis enlargement surgery? Okay, sorry, but you've booked it, Scott. Oh, wait. I think the show's over. Ah, oh, shucks. The show also featured 74 original songs. Mark Rivers, you know Mark Rivers.

Yeah, Mark worked with many times on Mr. Show, the rest. Mark Rivers has written almost every single one of the songs on the show. Who wrote the other ones? Lin-Manuel Miranda, I don't know if you've heard of him. Hack. Unsuccess, I would you've heard of him. Hack. Uh-huh. Unsuccess, I would call him.

Hey, unsuccess. Proven unsuccess. He's no Mark Rivers. I mean, I love Lin. Yeah. He's no Mark Rivers. That's what I say when I'm talking to either of them. And then, oh, a couple of songs in the international episode. And then let's see, yeah. Indian writer, performer wrote a song.

And then we, I guess Mark wrote Megan Thee Stallion, we had Megan Thee Stallion do the show and she did a song that Mark wrote for her. Wow, incredible. I always thought Mark would write a Megan Thee Stallion song. When he was a young man living in Atlanta. Seasons one through seven each generated

over 156 million social impressions. That's a lot of social impressions. The thing I'm most proud of about the show is million social impressions. That's a lot of social impressions. The thing I'm most proud of about the show is the social impressions. I don't do like rich little impressions, but I do social impressions. Okay, so just impressions of your friends. Yeah, and that I've created a bot farm

that allows the Netflix to believe that there's been social impressions. Oh good, yeah, that's your real business. Yeah, my real- That's where you're making all the money, the bot farm. Yeah. You were very instrumental in the election this year. Yes, both of them.

Yeah, fantastic. Both of them, very happy with the outcome. And from what I'm reading, the season eight premiere campaign has already racked up 24 million plus global impressions fueled by trailers, viral clips, original songs, and fan first activations. Where, you know, the thing I'm, beyond the social impressions is the fan first activations

that I, but we did actually send a van around the country with Maury and Connie, who are the hormone monsters. They're hormone, I could explain what the hormone monsters are to you. It might be helpful. I don't care. Yeah. Just keep going.

I can't believe someone listening to like episode 15,000 of Comedy Bang, where I'd be like, I've never heard about this show, Big Mouth. This has been so informative. No, it's important you're here because people, you know, people can get really into the first couple of seasons of a show and then just kind of forget it's on and go like, oh, is that, you know, but it's important.

You've come back, to your credit, you have come back, I believe every year to promote this show. And I thank you very much for doing this. I genuinely love this show and I love Big Mouth. I'm always happy to talk about it. Which do you like better, this show or Big Mouth? As far as the money that's been made for me personally. Comedy bang bang.

Comedy bang bang. And you got sad scale for being on the TV show. By the way, you're looking at IFC residuals from the show? Oh, they stopped paying residuals, I think, because it's all on the AMC Plus platform. Which I love. You're looking at IFC residuals from the show? Oh, they stopped paying residuals, I think, because it's all on the AMC Plus platform. Which I love. Yeah, no longer airing on IFC, apparently,

because I haven't seen a residual in many a year. Well, but the streaming residuals are killer these days. Killing, that's what we struck for. That's what we... So, no, I love talking about the show, and I do think, I really, I do believe we have ended the show, like I firmly believe we did a good job of landing the plane successfully for what the show was

and where it ends up. I think it will be a gratifying ending. I've read a little bit about the final episode, and I think that the premise of it is indeed something that I think would satisfy fans of the show. Right, for those who, you know, you've read ahead, but like, I can explain, it's like, all the kids go on trial, and they're in court,

and everybody for the show, you know, the guest stars all come in and. Yeah, exactly, and they all come in, all the previous guest stars from all, the all 222 guest stars, and all 81 of exactly. And they all come in, all the previous guest stars from all the, all 222 guest stars and all 81 of your characters come in and testify. Yeah. It's about a 15 hour episode.

And it's just a flashback episode. It was, I was harder. All the kids end up in jail at the end. Yeah. It's just harder to animate, but ultimately gratifying. Very worthwhile. All the kids ended up in jail. Yeah.

And you've been animating by hand for the entire- I've been self-drawing, yeah, I do it all by hand. It's all on a legal pad. I do all the animation on a legal pad. And how do they erase the lines on the legal pad? Because I've always had these questions about the show. I'm not the techie guy, I just do my thing. I studied it under Walt.

How many drawings would you- Clyde Frazier. How many drawings would you say you have drawn across all eight seasons? Oh, how many drawings have I drawn? Let's see, each show is at least 12 frames. So, you know who has drawn a lot of drawings while we were in the room is Gil Ozari. Who's never- Gil Ozari,

I've never met. You've never met him. But interesting guy from what I understand. Yeah, you know, he's friends with this guy who's the busiest man in the world. Ned Belenella. Yeah. And probably 800 other absolutely- I didn't know that they knew each other.

Yes, they know each other. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Ed can never get back to Gil because he's got too much going on. Right, of course. But Gil Ozeri, one of our writers for all eight seasons and does voice on. Right, of course. But Gil Ozari, one of our writers for all eight seasons and does voice on the show, drew some of the most

disturbing images in the writers room throughout that process and it was a really fun, it was a fun time. That's a glimpse behind the scenes. And so this is the kind of tidbits that the fans want. You allow your writers to draw and like fuck around? It's just a, it's a sandbox. Wow. You know? It's a kiddie litter. You know? What a dream job.

It's a kitty litter. Yeah, I would love to like, you know, if I had a regular job, like as a plumber or whatever, and I'm just sitting around in someone's bathroom drawing, and they're like, what the fuck are you doing? Just drawing, using your own feces to draw the walls. Your own feces? Yeah, your own.

Why not this guy's? Patty Harrison also drew some real special images throughout the run of the show. Did you keep these or did they keep these? They're gonna be auctioned off here on the Comedy Bang Bang website. It's a silent auction. Wow, how do we do a silent auction?

You go to my Venmo. Oh, okay. You just, whatever you send to you, that's what? Check out at hot doggin. And why did you reserve that so long ago? Because I remember when I first met you back in like 2006, when did you move to LA? I moved in 2007, but I came probably to do like Death Ray

and Bang Bang early, probably like 2005, 2006. 2005, 2006. But you were always like, hey, if I ever get a Venmo account, I'm gonna be hot doggon. I was not on the PayPal mafia, but I was adjacent so that when Venmo account, I'm gonna be hot-dogging. I was not on the PayPal mafia, but I was adjacent so that when Venmo popped, I hit, yes. I was adjacent to Enzukis.

That's a previous guest on the show, by the way. No, it played by Jeff. He's a chef who lives next door. Sure, originally portrayed by Jeffrey Karakteridis. Yes, of course. So this was the PayPal mafia, at this point just a PayPal mob, not a full mafia. Not a full mafia, yeah. There were immigrants.

Yes, and I had been a fan, me and Elon had been huge fans of the movie Hot Dog. Yes, Hot Dog the Movie. Yeah, Hot Dog the Movie, because Elon sort of sees the world as like a ski, as like a... A resort, yeah. Yeah, a ski resort,

like a hot 80s sex comedy ski resort. Yeah, like a Black Diamond, you know, thing that someone's gonna go down in the last act. Black Diamond, Tits in the Hot Tub kind of vibe. And so that's- Sort of an out cold kind of- Yes, ski school, remember with the guys from that? Ski school two with Bill Dwyer.

Of course, who could forget? Bill Dwyer's star turn in Ski School Two. Never lets you forget it. Yeah, one of the Carradine brothers. Oh, Keith? David. David, but I might be confusing this, and I am with Revenge of the Nerds.

Yes. Right? Well, he definitely is in Revenge of the Nerds. Yes, he's not in this other one. It's these other guys that are like those guys, but they're not. Got it. Anyway, that's how I got at Hot Doggin on Venmo.

Check me out, hit me up, send me cash. So now you and I have known each other for a good two decades. Wow. And you were on the comedy bang bang television show many times, at least once a year. Yes. And yet I'm not on this Big Bell show.

No. You know what? It was here, and I'll give on this Big Bell show. No. You know what? It was here, and I'll give you the honest reason why. I don't, and I think the fans can attest, there's something about the quality of your voice. I used to hear that when I was working at DreamWorks. Certain people in charge over there used to talk about various stars and go, they don't have a good voice.

Really? Yeah. Come on, name names. No, I don't want to do that. I'll tell you during the break. Jack Black. No, he was- Say his name, Jack Black.

He's in all the Kung Fu Pandas, he loves it. He wanted to do the television show and they never asked him. Oh, he's got the, really? Yeah, he said that on the TV show, so I'm not telling tales out of school. He would have done it and they never asked him to do it. What an idiot.

Who? Him. He should have just shown up. He should have just shown and they never asked him to do it. What an idiot. Who? Him. Him. He should have just shown up. He should have shown up and taken it. It's his. It's his. He should have Kung Fu Panda'd those people.

Yeah, exactly, yeah. He's playing Kung Fu Panda. Why can't he? Why doesn't he have the powers? Why can't he be Kung Fu Panda? Exactly. So now, Big Mouth is of course ending and we're giving it a fond farewell here on the show,

but Nick is not resting on his laurels. He has the television show, Adults, which is coming out on the effects channel this week. That is the way you pronounce it, effects. Effects channel, and I've seen two episodes of this, but I want you to describe to our listeners who are not awarded screeners as I have. Not to brag.

Not a big deal. Still hard copy screeners. Yeah, Netflix sent them, which I thought was very strange. Yeah, it's weird that another network. But tell our listeners exactly what this show is about. How did you get involved and what is it about? I felt myself getting older. And so I tried to like, as much as I could be

a creative vampire on younger people. Like a Drake, but for comedy. Yeah, yes. A culture vulture. Absolutely, a culture vulture. Yeah, that's hard to say. But you know what's not hard to say is vulture. And if you guys are looking for great pop culture news,

go to vulture for your... Do they do the listicles or is that another place? They do, that's Buzzfeed. Buzzfeed, oh yeah, from our friend's brother. Yes, yes. From our, originally from our friend's brother, Dave Musk. What?

Does he have a brother, Ilan? Oh, he has like 10 brothers. He probably does, and he's making so many kids. Oh, that's so awesome. Be fruitful and multiply, Elon. Way to go, man. So, Adults is a show. Ben Cronogold and Rebecca Shaw created it. We started this process like five years ago,

and they were like 24. They were writers for Fallon, really funny. And they came to me with this idea for a years ago and they were like 24. They're writers for Fallon really funny And they came to me this idea for a show that was sort of like We want to make a live-action big mouth for your 20s like about what the awkwardness and horniness and all the stuff of that era Uh being your early 20s what it felt like when and I and I had very and was like And you were like great. Let's turn into a cartoon today. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it as a cartoon We'll do i've got the deal. Yeah, we'll put it there. I it as a cartoon. I've got the deal. We'll put it there. I get all the points and it'll be great.

We'll do it. I'll do 81 voices. I'll do 81 voices. They'll be the same voices you've already heard. 222 guest stars. We'll make sure that Aukerman is not allowed to be on it. And that's when they were like, let's do it. When they got that confirmation.

And no, but it really made sense. And they were kind of like in the great vein of like the friends, girls, those kinds of shows of like, what is it like to be in your early twenties? And it's set, like if the girls and girls were living in like Brooklyn and Broad City were there in Brooklyn, now those kids who are like figuring everything out have to live in like deep Queens at like someone's house.

So it's the same show, but they are just living in a different part of the city? Yeah, it's a different part of the city. Sounds cool. Adults out this week. Yeah, don't worry. It's a different part of the city. But it's sort of the idea is that thing of like,

you have this idea of what your twenties are gonna be. You're gonna move to New York. And then like the reality is you're like living in some one of your friend's parents' house in deep Queens and the city, everything feels so far away. And it's five people who live together, I believe. Five co-dependent roommates. Yeah, but it's five friends who live together.

And it really was like, it's like, it's got hopefully the vibe of like what a friend's feels like, but it's, you know, it's a fact. But it's also filthy. It's filthy, you know? It's disgusting. Thank you.

From the demented mind of. Danny DeVito. No, but these characters, they have mouths that are almost potties. Yes, thank you. You know what I mean? I do. Like they don't mind that bathroom type of humor comes out of their mouths.

Absolutely. And they're, they in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if bathroom materials. Passed in and out. Yeah, just in and out. These characters are gross. They're gross, they're demented

and they're having the time of their life. The time of their lives. But it is, no, it's the cast is incredibly, we found like five young actors, a couple of them had done a couple of things, but it's really, most of their first things, they're all individually, I think really funny. But collectively, it's like a Voltron of,

and they're also, put them together, they're over 100 years old. Yes, if you connect, if you combine that, and that was the thing, we could either, the choice is you could either hire Scott, Scott Archiman to play all five characters. One 100 year old, or five 20 year olds. You chose the five 20 year olds.

We chose the five 20 year olds. All right. But they're all, yeah, collectively funny, and then they're really funny, I think they have good chemistry together, it's pretty, it gets, the show gets, and I'm really, I'm excited for people to see it. Yeah, coming out this week, a little later in the week,

and that's very exciting. It comes out on FX and then the next day drops, the next morning drops on Hulu. On Hulu. FX for Hulu. We know the pipeline of however this works. This is a savvy audience, they're native to the digital landscape

and we meet them where they are. But now you're working for Netflix on one project, and of course we have the other one, the spin-off that I can't remember what it was called, and then you're suddenly working for Disney over here at the FX channel. What is that like to straddle both worlds? Well, what I'm trying to get is sort of a threesome,

a throuple, where I am bringing Netflix, obviously I go back with Netflix, they're my primary, but then I invite FX in and then we can have a relationship where we all have an open understanding of the deal. Does Netflix ever get to leave the room and you still continue with Disney? You know what I mean? Or does Netflix always have to be watching?

Like this is what we talk about and when we're in throuples therapy with FX and Netflix Disney, it's cause it's, they wanna be. By the way, this is a good adults plot line. You gotta write this down. Thrupple's therapy is. Thrupple's therapy, are you kidding me? It writes itself, we did it on AI.

Good, yeah, oh, by the way, we should mention all of your projects are totally AI now. 100% AI. We're using Microsoft's, it's Bing's AI. Oh, good, oh, yeah, it has a little MS Paint in there as well. You would not believe what Clippy has been pitching. Clippy, I love him. Well, it's a great show, it's out this week.

I also wanna talk about the film, and it is a film, not a movie. Thank you. I Don't Understand You is the title of it. It is Top Lines by a little man named you and a little man named Andrew Rannells. Thank you. Who I believe I've seen at two parties recently.

Yes, he's great at a party. He's great on camera. He's great on Big Mouth. May have sat at my table at a wedding I was at. Okay, how was he at the wedding? He was great. Yeah. Yeah, got to meet him, his husband,

and he was on the Comedy Bang Bang TV show a while ago, and I think didn't remember it. But he was very funny on it. Who could forget a weird studio in Glendale? Hey, don't give away our assassination coordinates. Okay, right, sorry, of course. What if I still hang out there? In the halls.

Oh man, remember this. So the guy, I just read this article that the guy who was like, as it said, a deadline article, the architect of the Voight Hollywood thing, like the John Voight Hollywood thing, has just invested in Hollywood studios. And I was like, what studio? And then I read the articles, Avenue 6 and Van Nuys,

which is like, has like a half a block fake, the worst New York street I've ever seen. We shot a bunch of like very like low end Kroll show sketches in this place. And I was like, oh, I know this place. This place is a fucking joke of a studio. But hey, they're there now, and that's where we're gonna be filming everything.

Yeah, I'm so excited. So I just wanna say we're thrilled to be coming in, and that's where we're gonna be filming everything. I'm so excited, and so I just wanna say, we're thrilled to be coming in, and John Voight's a friend. And part of the Voight empire. And when it comes down to Angelina Jolie or Voight, I'm team Voight all the way, baby. Team Voight, definitely, yeah. Yeah, and just proud of Sly,

and proud of all the ambassadors. Hey, Sly! Hey, hey! Hey, knock, knock. Who's there, Sly? Who, hey. Hey, knock knock. Who's there Sly? Who? I don't remember now. Hey.

Oh wait, it's my brother Frank. Hey. But is that all you wanna say about the film? No, I wanna say that the film is a film and not a movie. Thank you. Okay, good. The film is me and Andrew Rannells, we are a married couple going on vacation to Italy.

We've been trying to adopt a baby together and we're kind of having it, we're at a crossroads with a lot of our marriage and then- Not like the crossroads where you play the blues against the devil. Where Robert Johnson, no, no, no, no, no, no. Different crossroads. Okay, good, good.

No, no, no, no, it's a two white gay men in Rome and not an old black man deciding whether he's going to follow the devil or. But you do play the guitar in the film. I played the guitar and I made sure to have a double. I practiced really hard to make sure that I had a double that they would never be able to pan because they always want to pan up.

They want to pan up. They want to do the pan up, yeah. They want to do the pan like, oh, look at that finger work and then they pan up and it's not me. I wanted to make sure we had that. So that got done. No, but the film is, it was interesting.

I just talked to Mark Maron. I don't know if you know Mark. Wow, of the WTF podcast, I believe. Yes, WTF. But did you reschedule that one three times, or was that blocked in the schedule? That one was planned purposefully. Mm, purposefully.

Purposefully to move you around. He watched the movie and had the longest, not super positive review of it. Great. So. Sounds like the WTF experience. I had a blast, but it was very funny, but what was interesting about it was that I think people, you go and you think you're watching this one movie,

you're watching like kind of a, like a fun rom-com, uh, uh, with me and Andrew, and then a turn happens. And it, it really, it takes a hard turn. Right. And it becomes sort of like a. A different genre or? I mean, it's, it continues to be funny, but it takes like a dark turn. That's more of like a far A different genre or? I mean, it continues to be funny,

but it takes like a dark turn that's more of like a farce, like a murdery farce. Did you say farts or farce? It's a murdery farce is what I call my farts. Okay, good to know. And this is directed by a couple of gentlemen named- David Craig and Brian Crano. And very funny.

It's sort of loosely based on their life trying to adopt a kid. Did they go to Italy too? And they went to Italy and had a nightmare vacation to Italy and they sort of combine those experiences. And yeah, it's, I mean, Rannels is the fucking best. We had a lot of fun together. I think the movie's really funny and,

but it is like, it's interesting trying to understand what an audience will expect in this digital streaming. Oh yeah, that you pioneered. That I pioneered by sending child pornography on growth day lives. Well that's exciting, that comes out on June 6th, which is about 10 days away or so, 12 days, 13 days away.

The day after my birthday. The day after your birthday, happy birthday. How old of a gentleman will you be? 31 years old, 31. Wow. I was born in 1996. Yeah. Yeah. Oh wow. So you were five.

We're all celebrating it, and it's eight wonderful years that I wanna thank you personally for, Nick. Oh man, to not have you out on the show once has been the experience of a lifetime. The dream, what?

All right, we need to take a break, but we're deep in Nick's 48th appearance here on Comedy Bang Bang, this is exciting. When we come back, we have a grief counselor. That's exciting, Nick. You ever spoken to a grief counselor? I need to. Okay, yeah, I think I should too.

Big mouth is ending. We also have an animal coming up on the show. This is a big show. Certainly none of the cast, Maya didn't show up, she won four Emmys. She don't need to do this. Exactly. She'll still win the Emmy this year

without being on this show. Honey, I'm just trying to get a webby nom. Um, but this is an exciting show. We're going to come right back with more Nick Kroll, more Comedy Bang Bang. We'll be right back after this. Comedy Bang Bang, we are back. Nick Kroll is here, 48.

Mr. 48, we're going to tall him. Thank you. We're going to tall you. No, tall me 48. I'm 48 inches tall. My 48th time on the show. You might be our 48th president as well. That's the hope. Yeah, that would be great.

I just gotta fucking fill out that form. Well, you still have three years. No, I fucking lost it. I put it in the backpack and it's the one that we ended up donating and I don't know where it is. Were you born here in the United States? Because you have to be a...

I was born in the first 48, I'll tell you that much is. Were you born here in the United States? Cause you have to be a- I was born in the first 48, I'll tell you that much. And are you 35 years old or? I'm over it, I'm 31. Fuck! Ah, this is where lying about your age comes back to bite you in the ass. You can't be president.

That's the only problem. But Big Mouth Season 8 out now, adults out this week. I don't understand you out the week after that. And then are you taking a little break, a little nappy nap? Yeah, I would love to take like a month long nap and then come up for air, so thirsty. Do you wake up from naps?

And I watch sugar so much when I wake up. I don't wake up from naps. I'm still in there. That's what I tell my kids every day, I don't know if daddy's gonna wake up from this nap. All right, see you in a bit. This might be the last time we see you. Or I won't. Kiss daddy goodnight and goodbye forever.

Yeah, kiss daddy on the lips. Daddy might be gone forever, kiss daddy kiss on the lips. Well, this is wonderful. We have to get to our next guest though. And he's a grief counselor. And I've never spoken to a counselor who specializes in grief.

So this will be enlightening. For me as well. I think so, yeah, so let's talk to him. Please welcome to the show for the first time, Bait Turfoil. Hi. Oh. Hi.

How are you? So good, thanks for having me. It's great to see you. Hi, Bait, Bait Turfoil. Bait Turfoil, yeah. So nice to meet you, this is Nick Kroll. Hi Nick. Hi Bait, how are you?

I'm so great, so good to see you. Good to see you too. It's great to meet you I thank you so much for coming on the show. Oh Thanks, it's so awesome to be here. Yeah, I'd love to hear about Everything about your I mean you as a person certainly but your job mainly Yeah, because I mean as people were all basically the same. I've always said that that's oh you said constantly But our only our jobs are different. Yes, you know what? I mean? Yes. Well, I do always said that. Oh, you say it constantly. But only our jobs are different. Yes. You know what I mean?

Yes, I do, you're a comedian, I'm a comedian. So Bate is a totally different type of person than us, so I'd love to talk to you about that. Yeah, I'm not a comedian, but I deal with comedians a lot because a lot of comedians live with grief, and that's where a lot of their comedy comes from. This reminded me of when I went to the doctor the other day. Yeah.

And I talked to the doctor and I was like, oh, I'm so sad, I'm so depressed, I can't get over it. And he said, oh, okay, well, I have a solution for you. I just went to the circus and I saw this clown, Pagliacci. He's so amazing. Let me give you, you know, you gotta go see him. And I was like, but doctor, I went to the circus and I saw Pagliacci and he sucked. And then the doctor was like, oh, well,

actually I am Pagliacci patients. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, but I just, I wasn't really into your act. He's like, well, come back a second time and I'll give you free tickets. Come back a second time. Maybe I had an off night or something like that. And so then I went back and I was like,

and he was still just like hacky and lame. I was just, yeah, I didn't like him. Yeah. Was that you doing comedy? No. Oh. I don't think so. I thought this was a joke that was gonna end.

I have a joke, the first joke I ever told. Do you mind, Bade, if I tell this joke? The first joke you ever told? No, of course. How old were you when you told this joke? This was an early street joke. A kid goes to the circus with his dad, and his name's Pogliacci, no.

And he goes to the circus, and the spotlight goes round and around, the lights go out and stops on this kid, and the clown comes up to him and he goes, excuse me son, are you a horse's head? And the son says, no. And the man says, then you must be a horse's ass. And the whole crowd laughs.

The poor kid is humiliated. He spends the next like 30, 40 years just like stuck in this. 30, 40 years? Yeah, 34 years just stuck in this cycle of self hate and doubt. And he decides finally to go and fix it. 30, 40 years. Yeah, 34 years just stuck in this cycle of self-hate and doubt. He decides finally to go and fix it. He studies the roasts.

He goes to Bob's College of Knowledge. He does everything he can to learn how to come back, and then he goes back to the circus. This is now 30, 40 years later. He pays off the lighting, the spotlight guy, and this clown is still there. Lights go down, spotlight goes round and round. Did he make sure the clown was still gonna be there before he went back? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Before he paid for the ticket? Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's a waste of money. You know, he made sure he was on the bill. Okay. So he goes in, lights go down, spotlight goes round and stops on the man, and the clown comes up to him, he's a little older, a little slower, and he says.

40 years. 40 years, 34 years. He goes, excuse me, sir, are you a horse's head? And the man says, no. And the clown says, then, are you a horse's head? And the man says no. And the clown says, then you must be a horse's ass. And the crowd laughs and the man who's been waiting 30, 40 years for this moment to come back, studied at Bob's College of Knowledge,

looks at the clown and goes, fuck you, clown. So anyway, that's a joke. Wow. Yeah, I've heard that before. Yeah. And this is the first joke you ever told to... This is the first time I've told a joke. Yeah, I've heard that before. And this is the first joke you ever told to... This is the first time I told it to Bate. Oh, this is the first time you told us to Bate, wow.

Well, you have such happy lives, to be able to live in this world of fantasy. Yeah, people are drawing at his work. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. People don't draw where I work. People sort of draw from there, the well of their pain. Yeah, well, so what do you do? So a lot of times someone will say, like, give me an example of something that's bothering them, like a death in the family.

Yeah, any deaths recently? Yeah, a bunch. Yeah. Well, and then I'll be like, I'll listen and then I'll be like, oh my gosh, that's like terrible. And then they'll be like, yeah, I'm like, yeah. And then they'll be like, yeah. And I'm like, it's not good that this happened. And then we talk about it. And then pretty much, that's pretty much it, you know.

Do you have any, are you accredited? Well, you know, I have an office that I work out of. I mean, that sounds good enough for me. And I went to school. Oh, where'd you go to school? I went to school, I went to HVAC, I went to like an HVAC sort of- Repair school? Yeah.

Like air conditioning and vacuum and all of that. But a lot of people were really depressed to work there. I can imagine, God, I'd hate to work there. I would ask them, I would say, what's wrong? And they would be like, oh... Crawling around in the air conditioner all day. Yeah, they'd be like, I'm so dusted, I get cut or my wife left me and I'd be like,

oh, it's terrible. Yeah, it's awful. So you just had a natural predilection for this. I can draw the sorrow out of somebody and then they don't have it anymore. Is that, so all you do is you sort of empathize with their, that- Well, it's more than that.

It sounds like that's all I'm doing. It kind of does sound like you just go, that, oh, that happened. That sounds terrible. Well, yeah. I mean, if you get, I'll help you right now if you want to. Yeah, what's been going on in your life?

Mental exhaustion? Well, okay. I'm a little, I'm mentally exhausted from just trying to make sure I can keep you off of my shows. It's exhausting. And just a general malaise. Yeah, but, well, okay, my grandmother, it's almost my birthday, my grandmother passed away on my birthday five years ago. That's terrible.

Thank you. Terrible. Yeah. What else happened besides that? When was the last time you went swimming in a pool? Oh, I mean, I went swimming a couple, last week I went swimming. That's fun. Yeah, but then I- That's much more fun.

But I have sensitive skin, so my skin turned kind of red. Ew, mm, ew, hey, do you like spaghetti? I do, I like spaghetti, but I'm starting to have like a gluten intolerance. There's gluten-free pasta, you can have that. Okay, but then I still feel kind of bloated after I eat pasta. Ah, mm.

Do you like ice cream? I do. Okay. But I, yeah, I love ice cream. I love chocolate ice cream. I like to put whipped cream on top of my ice cream. Notice that we're not talking about his grandmother. I totally forgot about the whole grandmother thing.

You're just talking, you're prattling on about ice cream and what you like on ice cream and stuff. That grief is gone. I feel much better. That's right. I feel like I can finally let go. Honestly, I would love some ice cream right now. I know.

Do you have ice cream? I don't have any, oh no. Don't? I don't have any ice cream. Then we don't talk about ice cream for the rest of. I'm sad because I don't have any ice cream. All right,'t talk about ice cream for the rest of- I'm sad because I don't have any ice cream. All right, so what do you have? What do you have, you have water?

Oh, yeah, I have water. There you go. I have ice, just frozen water. Let's have water. I have boiling water. God, why am I just saying water things, God. Well, that's what you have. You have to do what you have.

Work with what you have. Work with what you have and you ignore the rest. Okay, yeah, I have water and I'm made up, my body is made up of water. There you go. 75% of it is made up of water. There you go, you're connecting with yourself this way. This is what it's all about.

It's really about saying what is bothering me, what's upsetting me, push it to the side. Yeah, okay. Push it to the side and just leave it there. Okay. Leave it there like a Christmas tree on a curb on December 26th, leave it there. That's too soon. That's too soon to get rid of your Christmas tree. Nick, take a breather on a curb on December 26th. Leave it there. That's too soon

I didn't know it's too soon to get rid of your Christmas tree Nick. Take a breather on this. I'm talking about Christmas. I Have so many thoughts Well, I want to talk about that. I grew up Jewish and it's been really hard for me not to have Christmas Yeah, talk to Nick about this. Well, what did you have? I had Hanukkah. Oh, that's fun. Eight days eight days of Hanukkah Eight days you had eight days. That's more than Christmas. So you think about that's amazing. Huh days. Eight days of Hanukkah. Eight days, that's more than Christmas. So you think about that's amazing. Huh. That's really great, right?

Thank you. Now don't ever say the word Christmas again. Don't think about Christmas. Scott told me that off mic that I wasn't allowed to say that. Yeah, well, you should listen to him. He's going to take my job. You're gunning for my job. How did you develop these techniques?

Because these are revolutionary. Well, I did it a lot by butting into people's business. Oh. That's where I start. I'm like, you seem upset, or why do you have that cut on your head or whatever? And then they'll be like, oh, I don't want to talk about it. And then I'm like, well, come on, let's talk about it, or I'm going to make it up and tell the boss. And then they'll like, all right, I'll tell you.

And then they tell me. And then I'm like, forget it, just push it out of your brain. And then like sometimes- Would you ever tell the boss? If I didn't like the person I would, just because, or if I wanted their parking space. I saw there's a, when we walked into the podcast, I noticed there's an older, older, older man

outside in the heat, kind of on a leash. Yes. Yeah, what is that about? That man, he's someone who's working through something and I'm helping him work through it. He's a patient or a client. Well, yeah, he is very upset.

His family left him. His fam, how? His family. They collectively left him. Usually you get kicked out of the house. Or they all collectively left the house. They left the house. What, did they go to an apartment or a different, I mean.

They Dear Johned him, his whole family Dear Johned him. This is a lot of people to move. It was like a family of six. He had five kids. Yeah, just kicked him out of the house. And so they all left and he was like so upset about it. And I was like, know what you gotta do? Forget it.

Forget them. And so like we threw away all the pictures. They made their own custom calendar with like every month is a different theme of whatever. Ripped it up. Oh, smart. Replaced it with a what the bleep do we know calendar. Yeah, sure.

And I haven't heard of these of what the bleep do we know calendar. Yeah, yeah. No, they're great. I've never heard of this. what the bleeps we know calendar. Yeah. Yeah. No, they're great Huge okay And so then and then he's like I'm still thinking of them. I'm still thinking of my kids. I miss my kid It's my kid's birthday. I'm like, no, who doesn't know about birthdays? Dogs.

Thank you. Dr. Nick, Dr. Scott. So he's now on a leash. Now he thinks like a dog. So I give him like bacon from a butcher. I'll just like throw it. Hey, you're treating your dog really well. You're treating your dog well.

They're gonna die soon, but you're treating them really well. It's fine. And I walk him and if he does die, we don't talk about that. Because that would be upsetting. So he's like, oh, I went to the doctor and the doctor says I'm eating too much raw bacon. I say, don't see that doctor anymore.

Yeah, smart. Don't tell anybody that I'm feeding you this. And so what we do is now he just lives in the moment. He's like hungry, poop, sleep, hot, cold. And it's, I'll tell you something, he's thrilled. And you sleep him in a kettle? He sleeps in a, he likes the cage. In his cage, he likes the cage.

He likes the cage. They like it in there. It gives him security. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It seems cruel, but they like it. He does, it seems cruel, but you know what, for him, he's fine, and I appreciate the colors. Yeah, and he said something about you

sort of controlling his finances now as well? Yeah. Power of attorney was a phrase that he said. Dogs don't have bank accounts and they don't, their paws, this is true, I'm not a veterinarian, but you know a little bit about dog bank. I know about dogs. You have an office.

I have an office, but the dogs, their paws, physically can't work an ATM machine. They're too big. They don't have the dexterity of an orangutan. And they don't have fingerprints, because they don't have fingerprints. They don't have paw prints.

They don't have fingerprints. They don't have, they can't remember their pin. So there's a lot of problems for dogs. So I'm like, well. What's the shortest pin that a dog could remember? Like a dog, like maybe like two, the number two. I wouldn't even. If you said to a dog like, okay, number two is your pin. Number two, number two.

Then a dog went up to an ATM. Do you think it would hit number two? I can't speak for all dogs, but this dog cannot. Okay. And I think it's because, and I actually, it's like a badge of honor because he's so broken down as a dog that he can't remember anything. Oh.

He knows his name. Right. He knows. What's his name now? His name. His name now? Yeah. Crunchles.

Crunchles. Crunchles. Yeah. Classic dog name. And he's Crunchles and he knows that he knows. He knows his name. I don't know if he knows it's his name. He just knows it's a word that you're using

as a thing to get his attention. As an affection when I grab his ears or like. Or he's done something wrong. Oh, Crunchels, don't you dare get on my bed, Crunchels. And what's going on with Crunchels' anal glands? Because. Well, we have to express them every once in a while. Yeah.

You don't have him rub across the floor, like you have to express it. Sometimes I come home and he's been doing it. Yeah, so you have to finish it off. Yeah, it looks like, you know what it looks like, you know in those hospitals where they have lines on the floor that go in different directions to tell you where it's going,

that's what it looks like in my house. Sure, sure. It's really crazy. But he's really actually well-trained, he hates Amazon drivers And but I look at he's he barked so he sort of barked to me that to him Amazon drivers are his children Yeah, well, he's also upset about the MGM acquisition, right? Yeah the MGM Was a big bomb he's worried that's gonna water down water down Then they're gonna do all these spin-offs,

like Q is gonna have his own crazy. Do you think Bob Dooku would ever come in and say the word Barbara Broccoli over and over? I don't know, we could try it. We could try it. I haven't seen it in a while. Okay, let's try it. So it's really, you know, so he's happy.

He's happy, you're happy. I'm thrilled. I have no trauma. That was lucky that I was born. Now what if he passed? Like it's hard when you lose a dog, like a pet. What would you, how would you deal with that? Oh, I would just push it away.

I wouldn't think about him ever again. Can we try it and try to do like the lessons you've taught us? Let's be like best duo at the Emmys. Yeah, best duo at the Emmys. We'll be co-grief counselors. Yeah, and Crunchles has died. Crunchles has died? And you're coming in, we have an office by the way.

We have an office. Oh, you have an office by the way. We have an office. Oh, you have an office? Yeah. Ooh, what are you paying per square foot? It's a thousand dollars per square foot. Per square foot. Jeez, this is a nice office. Yeah, yeah.

Wow, do you have a cold brew machine? Oh no, it's such a small office. We can only afford $2,000, so it's two square feet. Yeah, it's two square feet, so we gotta hold. One of us, if one of us holds the Nespresso. Well, let's all stand closer together. Okay, here we go. Okay, yeah, all right, let's be close. Scrunch let's all stand closer together. Okay, here we go. Okay, yeah, all right, let's be close.

Scrunch in. Scrunch in. All right, here we go. What's your problem, sir? Yeah, what's going on? I don't remember. Oh, wow, you're already ahead. You've already, you've already done.

I'm done. You don't need our help at all. Welcome to, welcome. Hey, another job well done. Welcome to professionalism. We're shaking hands. This is what happens. I've already forgotten about crunching. I wish more patients would do that.

Take care of their problem before they come in. I know, that would be a lot easier. Come having had. I tell them my patients that all the time. They'll come in like, oh, my mom just died. I'm like, I don't want to hear it, because A, I don't want to get depressed. You don't want to get brought down by their bullshit.

I don't want to get depressed. I'm just trying to live my life. So if they could just not mention it, then I'm like, then we go right. So if they could just not mention it, then I'm like, then we go right away. Then you're like cooking with gas. Then you're just like riffing. We hit the ground running. The electricity of just like when two people are just riffing with each other. That's what you want in a grief council. It's health jazz. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So, you know, and for someone like me who has no trauma nothing nothing has ever happened to you

No, I mean not can I ask about your background a little bit? Sure where where'd you grow up? What were you? What was your dad like? Well, I don't know they abandoned me when I was a baby They left me in the woods in the woods in the woods. That's a bad place to leave. Yeah Just because they live in the woods the Woody Harrelson marijuana facility. Oh, is that what's left there too, right? Yes. Okay. And Bill Maher's an investor,

and they were recently burglared. Sorry, go ahead. They were burglared? Yeah. Oh, they should come see me. They were probably upset about it. So I was left in the woods, and I was found by some poachers,

and they kept me there, and they would use me, that's how I got my name and they would use me, that's how I got my name, they would use me as bait. As bait for what they were. For bears, bear poachers. They were bear poachers? So I would just be put out into the dirt and then bears would come and be like, is that alive or dead and paw me around.

And these are the turf oils? These are the turf oils, they're French Canadian. And they- This is different than Turfs. What's that? Do you know what J.K. Rowling is? Have you ever heard of that notorious turf? Oh, Beasts of Grinwald?

Yeah, the Griswolds or whatever it is. The Beast of the Griswolds? I'm thinking of the vacation franchise. Oh, I love that. I love Chevy Chase. What if J.K. Rowling had written vacation? Wouldn't the world be better off? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know, we'll never know. We'll never know and I've already forgotten the question. So I was used as bait. It's weird, I haven't thought about this in a long time. Yeah, I wonder why. Yeah, and so- Your face, by the way, is turning red. Yeah. You're breathing heavy and you, like,

I think you've just tamped all of this down, all of these emotions, which is not a healthy way- They love me. They love me. And the fact that I- The bears are the per- Yeah, the bears. The poachers?

The poachers, I provided them with something, and they loved me in return. Like a worm on a hook. Yeah. Like chum in the sea. And then they loved me in return. And they, you know. Did they raise you, the poachers? Well, they raised me in the fact that

if I would survive the day being bait, then they would then let me sleep that night. In the bear carcass. Give me some, yeah, they would like fold me into the intestines or something so I'd stay warm. And then next morning I would eat a little, you know, whatever was left over from what they had. A little bear.

A little, and then they would throw them out there and- Wow. So they're catching one bear a day? They got, oh, they were great. That's too many bears. They got like one bear. No, they had like six, seven bears a day. Like six a day?

Oh man, there's a, the reason why there's like a black bear endangered species is because, mostly because of my dad's. Cause of the turf was, and they were a couple. They were not a couple, but I, in my mind, they were a couple and they resented that I kept putting them together cause they were very heteronormative. And you, yeah, of course. And they were like, we're not a couple.

They're a different generation. And I'm like, dad, dad, we're not, your dad, your dad left you in the woods. We're business partners. That's right. We work at Turf Oil's bear emporium. So anyway. Isn't a story as old as time. It's, this is what, you know what, you use what you were sort of brought into. And then I take whatever, lemons, and I turn it into lemony. Can I ask a question?

Did you ever develop a relationship with any of the bears that you? Well, in a way that they would like claw at me and bat me around to see if I was alive or not. Yeah, so you were playing dead. That was your technique or? Well, it was alive or not. Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, you were playing dead. That was your technique or? Well, it was that or be destroyed.

Uh-huh. So, yeah, so I would just be like, I would just take it and be like, and sometimes it would like, there was some internal like bruising and stuff. I never saw a doctor, but it was- You've never seen a doctor? Well, they, the turfoils told me not to see a doctor. Were they Christian scientists? What's going on?

No, they were like, they didn't wanna be like, wait, what are all the bruises on this kid? Oh yeah. And I understood, I was like, who wants to fill out all that paperwork? You don't want protective services coming down and taking you away from the Turf Oils. Yeah, I feel like that's, if you don't use that,

that would be a great line for you to use in your grief counseling. Who wants to fill out all that paperwork? Yeah, who wants to fill out all that paperwork? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Can I say it one more time? Mm-hmm. Who wants to fill out all that paperwork? Yeah, who wants to fill out all that paperwork? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Can I say it one more time? Mm-hmm. Who wants to fill out all that paperwork? Yeah, that does. Second take really nailed it. Yeah, I really like that.

Hey, I know it's too late, but we're about to restart Big Mouth. Wait, you're about to restart Big Mouth? There's room for one voice. Really? Sort of a Scott Aukerman type. Oh, I like that. Like physically? Sort of like a Kermit the Frog type person. Yeah, Kermit presenting, but David. The cuck of the Muppets.

Well, I have to say I have a pretty busy schedule. Okay. I'm helping a lot of people. I bet. There's a lot of grief in this world. A lot of people don't know that. There's a lot of grief in this world. Yeah.

So you're too busy to go star on a cartoon for Netflix? I mean- What is it, what is it, SacScale? This is SacScale. Oh, is it Sac? Animation. This is most favorite nation's SacScale. Now, I'm Tapped Heart Lead.

Oh. What were you Tapped Heart Lead for? I was in The Rookie, that show The Rookie with Nathan Fillion. Yeah, The Rookie, yeah, Nathan Fillion. By accident. By accident? Because I was crossing Bonnie Bray and Third. Okay.

And actually... They were filming there? With Chuckles. And I was crossing, and I was crossing kind of yellow. I shouldn't have done it. But... I don't think that's the problem. They blocked off the street for filming, it sounds like.

Well, I didn't see any of those. Like any cones or anything. And then I was... Cones? That's... Movies those, like any cones or anything. And then I was... Cones? Moviesets don't have cones. Exactly. I mean, maybe they have cones, but when I think of a movie set, I don't just first off think of cones. I mean, I think of the Cone Brothers. Oh, very real. And the Cone Heads. Oh, they were great. So anyway... So you just were caught on film. I was caught on film, cross, well they,

the car hit Chunkles. Oh. Which was bad. Okay. And I was like, forget it, forget it. And you remember this? Well, it did affect me because it hit Chunkles. Right. So that wasn't a trauma or grief for you? No, because Chunkles forgot about it right away.

So how did you end up on the show? Because I was like, you hit Chuckles. And then once I saw Chuckles was OK, and they were like, what could we do? Don't sue us. Don't sue us. I was like, am I in the shot? And they were like, yeah, I'm like, do I get paid as a featured background artist? So if I'm watching The Rookie, whatever episode this is, you are... Season 7, episode 19.

You are leading a man on a leash, a naked man on a leash, through a scene, a car hits him and you scream, you hit chunkles. And it doesn't have anything to do with the scene that I'm watching. Well what happens is they cut a lot of- This is the brilliance of the rookie. This is the brilliance of the rookie. They almost like, this one, art imitates life, they forgot about it. They forgot about it, just left it in the shop.

They cut it out, so all you have in the scene is me looking like this. Oh, I see, okay. Where the car drives by like this. They cut it out of the finished product. Well, they kept it, they made the most of it, and Nathan Fillion has been on Big Mouth a ton, is a recurring character, genuinely a recurring character. Genuinely a recurring character.

He plays a lot of cops, I understand. So do I, but hey, curb your enthusiasm. He can integrate anything, he can bring anything in, so they use that moment of bait. I'm sure that when the car hit chunkles, he probably was like, I don't know how to handle this, I'm just a rookie, and it just fit right into the show. I didn't read the script.

But, so then, to me, that's not a traumatic memory. That's a great memory because not only did I get day for day, I got Taff Hartley. So I'm like a must hire, which is so fantastic if you live in Los Angeles. It's a great deal. So is that going to factor in you restarting Big Mouth and the fact that he's a must hire? He is. Big Turf Oil, meet Taff Hartley. So I got lunch. Where'd you go to Joe's on third?

Where'd you go? Joe's on third. How long does this story go on? They're catering. They're catering. Cause I thought all the germane information we've already covered it, but it's still going on. With what?

What did you ask? The story is continuing. Well, you were asking. No, we asked how did you get Taft Hartley'd? and I'm telling the story? Okay, what left is there to? Catering you went catering. He got roast chicken. Would you get any screen sides? What'd you get? I go greens I go protein you don't go You go carbs you start falling asleep So I just go I go, here you go carbs, you start falling asleep in the afternoon when it's wrapped. So I just go, I go veggies, I go protein.

Are you just gonna continue talking until we get to the current moment? Well, we can. I just wanna say, I'm genuinely interested in what your catering orders are. I appreciate it. Do you do a big piece of cake in a bowl? Don't do the cake in a bowl, don't do the cake.

What I do is I get a sleeve of Nutter Butters. And what you do is you have a Nutter Butter every 15 minutes. That way you don't crash. Yeah, I was gonna say, my three of my siblings had a peanut allergy and I gave them a sleeve of Nutter Butters and they all passed. Oh, that's terrible.

Forget it. What are your siblings names? Jeremy, Vanessa and Dana. All right. scratch those names from your memory forever. Okay, because it only bring you pain if you think about them. Can I give them different should I give them different? No, don't they never exist. What if he wants to think about Vanessa Williams, former Miss America turned penthouse model turn turn pop star Then that's the only the star of eraser. That's the only

Vanessa a lot about showbiz is I know you were Taft Hartley and you're a mustire, but I'm sorry. I watch movies But are you you have an encyclopedic? Are you sorry memory for Vanessa Williams movies? I'm not allowed to be sorry Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not allowed to be sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry. I can't be sorry. Right. Because there's nothing to be sorry about. Ken, have you ever played the board game Sorry?

I'm not good with dice. What do you mean? You just pick them up and you throw them down? No, no. What are you talking? What is there to be good with? Every time I handle dice, we always lose one. What happens, they slip out of your?

People get hurt, or I lose one. Bait doesn't remember, we've met. We've met multiple times. Bait has cut me out of his memory. What? But I know that I was friends with the, I'm friends with the Turfoils. And what we would do is we would play dice

on Bait's life every night. What? We would roll dice and. I don't remember this. I don't remember Snake Eyes. Right. I don't remember. Do you remember where we kept the die? I don't remember and I don't remember

I had to take it out to poop. Good, so there we are. Wow. And it was, I don't remember that, it was a Dungeon and Dragons style 12-sided die. I don't remember that at all. A lot of star badges. And then Harmon did a podcast about you.

Oh, you're what the Harmon Quest podcast is based on? Yeah. Oh, Angie Harmon? Yeah. Can you name one Angie Harmon project? Yes. And you can't say Eraser if she was in that. And you can't say Rosolian Isles.

Without Rosolian Isles, it's tough. It's real tough. But I think- You call yourself a fucking grief counselor? I think she sat in for Kelly Ripa once in- All right, it counts, it counts, it I think she sat in for Kelly Ripa once in. All right, it counts, it counts, it counts. She sat in for Kelly Ripa. It counts, all right.

Great, great, great, great. Well, bait Turf Oil, this is a wild story, but we appreciate you coming on. Can you stick around because we have to take him? Anywhere to be? Yeah. Well, let me just check on Chuckles because he's been in the sun for a while.

Do we have water? Well, I see him. Yeah, Chuckles is... Looks like he's trying to bite through his leg to get out of the leash, but... Yeah, but it'll be fine. All right, well, let me tell you what. You catch up with Chuckles, we're going to take a break.

Adults out this week. I don't understand you out the week after that. Nick, you again, one of those Hollywood stars, walk of fame stars because of all this action going on. You know, I'm trying desperately to get to be one of those, because I really think that was what spells success, is like being on, people who not in LA don't realize how glamorous Hollywood Boulevard is.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is. Oh, it's gorgeous. It's absolutely gorgeous. It smells like a million bucks. And- They keep it so clean up there. They keep it so clean and it's such a vibrant area. It's such a vibrant part of Los Angeles. And so to just be something that a Dutch tourist step on

or a homeless person- Relieves himself perhaps upon. And yes, to be any of those things. It's the dream. It's why we get into show business. It's why we get into And yes, to be any of those things. It's the dream. It's why we get into show business. It's why we get into this, is to be a sidewalk. You think they'll ever make a little podcasting, you know how when you're on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

like, and they have like Stan Laurel and you see like a little film reel, you know what I mean? Yeah, there'll be a podcast. Or you see a little microphone for a radio, like what would they do for podcasts, like an iPod? I think it would be hot ears underneath earphones. Like red ears. Yes, red ears.

And messed up hair for when we have to take the picture afterwards. Yeah, exactly. So I think you would be on that podcast Walk of Fame. I would love that. I'm one of the trailblazers. This is our 17th year. Holy shit.

And this is your 48th appearance. We also have Bait Turfoil. And what was going on with, who was it, Crunchels? Crunkles? Excuse me? Crunchels, yeah. Crunchels. Fine.

Yeah, he was biting through his leg. But, you know, his teeth aren't strong enough to break the skin. Yeah. So it was just a lot of bruising. Did you file his teeth down, you were saying? He does that a lot by just chewing on this leash a lot. But it really is, he's fine, and I gave him water. And you put cones all over his body,

not only just around his neck, but on every appendage. Yeah, that's how he does it. And his penis, I'm seeing right here? A penis cone, you know what? I designed this penis cone, because they don't make penis cones. Penis cone, this sounds like a big mouth product. And this is something that is so helpful I, you know what? I designed this penis cone because they don't make penis cones. Penis cone, this sounds like a big mouth product.

And this is something that is so helpful for people who can't keep their hands or their mouth if you have a craftmatic bed off their penises. Do you ever squish yourself up in a craftmatic trying to hit? When I was in the hospital, when I was in the hospital- Why did you go to the hospital? I don't remember. Okay. But the only thing I remember from the hospital

was being able to get into that bed. And squish yourself into a BJ. I squished myself into a self-philosophy. We do an episode in Big Mouth Season Eight where there is like a Andrew tries to get a bed that is self-lidding. Really? Art. Imitates. Imitates. Garfunkel. Uh-lidding. Art. Imitates.

Imitates. Garfunkel. Uh-huh. Light. Wonderful, well we have to get to our next guest. Hold on a second, Leonard Nimoy has a star in the Walk of Fame, I just wanted to say that. Yeah, deservedly so.

Oh man, I got a, you know, my wingspan gets a lot of use. Right, I traveled, I traveled, I traveled 2,015 miles to come here today. Wow. 2,015 miles, that's almost the length of the United States. Where are you coming from, Tennessee? Where is your country? I'm a Canada goose. Oh, you're a Canada goose. Oh, you're Canada goose.

I traveled from Quebec. Oh, our friend from the North. Okay. This is a very, and people don't realize this is a very typical Quebec accent. Mm-hmm, yep. Sounds just like the turfoils. Yep.

Oh, the turfoils were Canadian. They were French Canadian, yes. Oh, interesting, and they were not a couple? No, they, believe me, they were not. Okay, yes. And they were not a couple? No, believe me, they were not. Okay, yes. And they were not. Okay. Did you guys ever come into contact?

A goose and a bait for a bear? Did you ever try to eat me? Well, I remember, I thought you were dead, actually, because they were just kind of tossing you around like a hacky sack. Yeah. It's good to know that you're well. Speaking of Woody Harrelson, yeah, hacky sacks.

So you flew 2,800 miles to be here. Just to be on comedy bandwidth? No, no. Oh, what are you doing in town? Anybody hungry? I am. Are you just clearing your throat again? Oh, I just sneezed.

Twizzler. I would love a Twizzler, please. Here you go. Are these French-Canadian Twizzlers? These are French-Canadian Twizzlers. So it's a little different sugar flavor. It's a Twizzler. It's a Twizzler.

And is it a maple sugar? Is it a maple sugar in the Twizzler? And lard. Oh. I mean, it sounds disgusting, but. Give it a try. I'm here to tell you that it also tastes disgusting. But there's a secret ingredient

cause I'm a goose. What do you think it is? Your shit? It's a secret ingredient cause I'm a goose, what do you think it is? Your shit? It's a goose shit. Bingo, Wingo, and mealworm. Bingo. So your shit and mealworm. And so geese say bingo, Wingo when they-

That's a classic Quebec term. Oh, it's a Quebec, not just exclusively to goose. Bingo, Wingo, what is bingo, Wingo? It's like, oh, whoa, oh whoa, you got it! Oh, okay, okay, okay. Like right on the money. It's like Wingo Bingo but reversed. Yeah, yeah, sure.

So what are you doing in town if you don't mind me asking? I'm here looking for my son. Your son? I'm here looking for my son. Now this is obviously another goose? It's another goose, it's a baby goose. It's a Gosling. His name is Ryan. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I mean, you might be thinking of Ryan Gosling, who I'm sure- You know of him? Well, Bade, you probably know what projects he's been in and being sent a file. Boy, he was in that movie Drive, and he was in that movie The Nice Guys. What are you talking about? And he was in, you know what? He gets a special spicy soup at Jitlata when he has a cold

Do you know what he was tapped heart lead for he was tapped heart lead for a Nickelodeon show You can't do that on television His second his first role Masketeer first wait is this do you know that is your son the actor Ryan Gosling or is he just a- He's Ryan the Gosling, I haven't seen him since he left. His, my husband at the time took him to get water and I never saw him again. Who's your husband now?

I'm not with anyone. Are you looking? Of course, but mostly just for a casual lay. Oh. You see what I did there, lay? Excuse me. I don't actually. Is that a pun of some sort?

Or cause I'm a goose. Okay. And you lay, oh, cause you lay eggs? Forget it. No, I really want to drill down on it. No, it's fine. No, it's fine, Scott, forget it. No, it was very funny.

Oh, okay. I'll take your word for it. It was very funny. Yeah, I mean, laying goose eggs is a term, but that's not what's happening here. No, no, okay. I'll take your word for it. It's very funny. Yeah, I mean, laying goose eggs is a term, but that's not what's happening here. No, no, no. No, that's not what's happening here. Although you are laying an egg as we speak.

I am, thank you. And when was the last time you saw Ryan? I saw Ryan by the river when my then husband took him to get some water, and I had to leave to shake around my tail feather. I guess I'm asking for a date more than the details. It was 72, it was 72. 1972?

No, it was 72 hours. Oh, oh, it was 72 hours ago. I was at the chicken breast, stripping. Oh. Cause my husband at the time was a big spender. And you needed to earn more money so to afford his lifestyle. So he to earn more money to afford his lifestyle? Spend more money on strippers?

I couldn't meet his needs. I didn't know how to blow or kiss or rub. Okay, so let me just get this straight. You're a goof. I didn't know how to solve them. You're in town in Los Angeles because you had a son, Dave Ryan, who's a Gosling. And you had a wealthy husband that you were stripping

in order to meet his needs because you didn't know how to blow a kiss. He spent all our acorns. Do I have all his acorns? Do I have this about right? No. No, what a, please. You haven't brought up the joke that I made about Lane.

You said it was so funny, Skyline. Can I ask, ask anyone hungry? Yeah. This looks like a Twix, but is it? Is it a Twix? That's my esophagus. Okay. These are chips. What flavor are these? Kettle rum. Kettle rum? Rum? That's a very French Canadian flavor. I've heard of kettle one, like vodka. No, this is kettle rum. Kettle rum, the rum that's been brewed in a kettle. You can eat it in 12%.

So you are a cinephile, you just made a Star Wars reference. Oh, did I? Okay. Have I seen you in something? Have you watched The Rookie? I was in The Rookie. Only season seven.

Yeah, episode 19, I'm in it. I'm who I guess. Wait a minute. And for those who's podcasting, he's making a face. He's making a surprised face. Describe it exactly. So paint a picture. You're a storyteller, paint a picture. I can, I've already forgotten about it.

Beautiful. Whoa. Look, I'm healing every day. The face was like when you wind up a jack in the box and it pops. Oh. Yeah. I think that's.

Or like that Billy Mummy episode of the Twilight Zone. I know he was in a few of them, but where he sent someone into the cornfield and you see the bouncing head. Is Billy Mummy the one who's like, the guy from My Blue Heaven? It's a pop-o-ve. Are you talking about Steve Martin, the guy from My Blue Heaven? No, he's got a-way. Are you talking about Steve Martin?

The guy from My Blue Heaven? No, he's got a small part in that. Oh, no, no, no. The Twilight guy who's like, hey. I don't believe so. I think that's an older, the guy from Pritzy's Honor, is that who you're talking about? I think so.

He looks like a mummy. The producers? Yeah, yes, yeah, he's in the producers. He looks like a mummy because he's so old. Yeah. Billy Mummy was a young kid in the Twilight Zone. Oh, okay, not not a toast to failure. It's my son in that. Thank you.

Ryan Gosling, I mean, we're trying to determine if Ryan Gosling. We're trying to parse if your son is the famous Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling. He's, okay, let me tell you. He's got the hardest sex. Yeah, have you seen La La Land? I'm not familiar. The Big Short?

Did you see that? I'm not familiar. What about Barbie? Not familiar. What about Lars and the Real that? I'm not familiar. What about Barbie? I'm not familiar. What about Lars and the real girl? I mostly watch trees. Behind the- what about in the pines? What about the-

Yeah, that's trees. That's trees. He's- let me give you some descriptors and you can tell me. Okay, great. Okay, so he's my son. He's about the size of a son. Okay. Yeah, okay, got it.

I'm drawing a picture. This sounds like Ryan Gosling so far. He's neither here nor there. I mean, it sounds like Ryan Gosling. He's always around, around and around. Mm-hmm. All right. I'm listening. He's neither silly nor serious. He's not a silly goose. Thank you.

Okay. This might be Ryan Gosling, the actor. He's, I mean, if it's any consolation, if it is the Ryan Gosling that you're talking about, he's a very successful actor. Nominated for an Academy Award, or I think? Yeah. He's got a wife, and so he doesn't talk to me? He does have a wife, Eva Mendes, I believe, and children, and he seems very happy,

and he's very well-respected. He's never done this show, which is like a plus. Yeah, but so just so you know, he's abandoned, he's left you. He's moved on with his life, but he's doing well. You can let him go. Yeah, you can just forget him. That's the easiest thing to do.

No, he needs me. He wants me to sing all the classic bird lullabies. Oh. What are some of the bird lullabies? I'm like a bird, I only fly away. Oh, Nellie Furtada. Free bird. Free bird.

No, that's it, you got it. Free bird. Free bird. Do you know Blackbird? Blackbird. Yeah, that's it. I mean, that's close, honestly, if you just stop right there.

Oh, the Beatles. Yeah, yeah. No, not familiar. I don't indulge in music. I indulge in the music of the wind, the seasons changing. Oh, that's wind chimes. Yeah, wind chimes are beautiful.

What's the, oh, the things I get tangled in. Oh, you've gotten tangled up in wind chimes. One time I swallowed a wind chime because I was having a bad dream. This is like the six pack plastic thing, it rings around the six pack for fish, right? Oh, don't bring that. But for birds.

That's correct, wind chimes are extremely dangerous. Don't bring that up. That's, I just, uh-oh. Do you have a bad experience with the plastic rings around soda cans? I don't remember. Uh-oh. Were you, as a baby, were you tangled up in one of these?

If there was, I don't remember. Okay, great. What else is going on? Hey, I'm a mother. You can let it out. Let it out. I don't, there's nothing to let out. I don't remember anything that happened.

Can I say, Bates, you've never had a mother, and this is Pamela. Pamela's a goose who is a mother. Who seems to want to find a surrogate son. I could sing you all the songs. I don't want to get away. I wanna fly away. So not just even Birdsongs,

the song's about flying. Countless birds. Fly me to the moon. Are you allergic to dogs? Yeah. Did you say dogs? Well, he's a naked man acting like a dog. Yeah, he has a pet, is that okay wherever you live?

Yeah, no problem if you can fit in my nest. Dogs don't really like birds. I worry a little bit about exposing a dog or a man that's been convinced that he's a dog to a bird. Yeah, dogs primarily whenever they say, see birds, they freak out, they chase after them. Yeah, I mean, I've nearly died from a Shih Tzu, but, but- Is this going to be okay if, what's his name, Crunkles? Crunchles?

Trunkles? Scrunchles? Crunchles. Crunchles, I think is what we decided on, right? I think it's Crunchles. It's Crunchles. It's Crunchles, yeah, of course it's Crunchles. It? Crunchels. Crunchels, I think is what we decided on, right? I think it's crunchels. It's crunchels. It's crunchels, yeah, of course it's crunchels.

It's crunchels. No reason to rewind. No. It's crunchels. It's absolutely 100% crunchels. There's no doubt. It's crunchels. It's crunchels. He's a man who's a dog.

We can open the door and like crunchels. Do you do voiceover work? Accidentally, I did once. Mm-hmm. Well, you did. Well, he's about to. Accidentally, like in what? Well, they were doing a Pringles commercial. And they were doing what? Like a radio spot for a commercial, for Pringles.

Okay. You know Pringles? They're like potato chips, but they're coming- I know the Pringles, but what are you talking about? They're coming to Tube. Oh, Jesus Christ. I make a really good Pringle. It's lava, barley, wheat, spit, milk. That sounds like Pringles to me. You don't have any with you, do you?

Oh, I do. Wow. You can really taste the spit. Wow. I'm glad the mics picked that up, by the way, because that was incredible, what I just saw. I know, I love that you did a flip one. So they were doing a Pringles commercial and you just passed through the studio? bit. Wow. I'm glad the mics picked that up by the way, because that was incredible. I just saw, um, so they were doing a Pringles commercial and you just passed through the studio.

Yeah, I was making, I was there at the studio. I just finished a session, a sesh we call it, but yeah, go ahead. Well, I'm a professional. So I called a session. Okay. And then, um, someone was really sad because one of their bandmates like OD'd. So we forgot about it and helped them forget about it. Now there are solos. This commercial had a live band?

Yeah. No, this was in a different studio. He was doing a session. Session. And then they were having lunch at this studio. At the cafeteria. No, it was like they were having a catered lunch like in the studio.

It was a really nice studio. Yeah, you were in the Byrds, right? You were in the original? The original of the band? Yeah. And you were eating at Byrds, right? You were in the original? The original of the band? Yeah. And you were eating at Byrds? So I ate at Byrds. I always get the burger at Byrds.

Yeah. And I go- Just to be like, you know- It's the best cheeseburger in LA. Yeah, what about La Puebel? How many times have you been to La Puebel recently? La Puebel, I haven't been recently. Sorry, was it La Puebel?

I haven't been recently because- Are you in the videos they make outside there? There's no one I can help there. Mm. Really no one I can help. They all have their shit together. They all figured it out. It's amazing.

It's like, there's- No grief here. No grief whatsoever. It's really, I mean, that's why I missed the bourgeois pig. I could, I cleaned up at the bourgeois pig. Let me ask you this. When you're going to birds, are you eating chicken and turkey?

No, I get the cheese. Always gets the burger. I get the burger, best cheeseburger, it's the number one secret in LA. Best cheeseburger in LA is at Bird's. These are very specific references for a podcast that's listened to around the world. Randomly.

Okay, brag a lot. Randomly, the Hungry Cat, also a fantastic cheeseburger at a fish restaurant called the Hungry Cat. So are you just ordering cheeseburgers every single place you go? Well, I'm trying to get my cholesterol up. randomly the hungry cat. Also a fantastic cheeseburger at a fish restaurant called the Hungry Cat. So are you just ordering cheeseburgers every single place you go? Well, I'm trying to get my cholesterol up. You are, by the way, we should mention,

you are approximately 650 pounds. I don't like to talk about people's bodies. No, it's okay. I thought it was germane to what we're talking about. No, it's okay. It's hard to fit you under my wings. It would be, but I would keep you warm. It would, I'm like, to be fair, I'm under 650.

Yeah. I'm 649. And I- And you were talking about the movie, The Whale, during the break, saying that it was aspirational? Well, I've always, I've loved him since George the Jungle. Is my son in that movie? He worked a lot before that. Brendan Fraser? That's not like a brag.

I love to, since George, that was on the, that was on the, when his career was waning. Well, that's when I, he came on my radar. That's when he came on my radar. I don't know what he did before that. I'm just saying, to be like, I've loved him since George of the Jungle. I mean, yeah, there's a long time in between that and the whale.

Well, you can like, you can like someone like Bob Dylan after Time Out of Mind and be like, not know that he did anything before that. I don't think that that's, I don't think it's possible to after Time Out of Mind and be like, not know that he did anything before that. I don't think that that's, I don't think it's possible to like Time Out of Mind without at least having some sort of, like if you just got some- You might be a big Daniel Langlois fan.

If you just got like a CDR and it just said Time Out of Mind and you put it on, first of all, you would go like, oh, this is Bob Dylan from the voice, just from like being a person. Unless you've never heard him before. Yeah, but just from being a person and from like hearing comedians go like,

ooh, yeah, yeah, like you would know it was Bob Dylan. But secondly, you wouldn't like it if you weren't like, oh, this must be Bob Dylan. Unless you liked the music he was making. Nick, back me up on this. I genuinely don't know anything about Bob Dylan. The geese love Bob Dylan. Yeah, cause he fucking whines like them, doesn't he?

Cause he sounds like a geese amber alert. It's like, wah, wah, wah, wah. That's a good Bob Dylan slam. Yeah. He does sound like a geese amber alert. That's right. Absolutely true. We love him.

A voice of sand and glue. I don't know what you're talking about. That's what David Bowie said. Pamela, I don't have any advice for you. I know you probably didn't come on the show looking for advice, but- But you did get booked. Yeah, so wait.

Wait a minute. Somehow you came here to find your son, but you got booked on the podcast. Well, I'm looking for work in order to stay here looking for my son, and Nick, I'm curious, because you mentioned that there is a Big Mouth reboot. Thinking about it. I was thinking- Well, we are doing a new show that there is a Big Mouth reboot. Thinking about it. I was thinking that-

Well, we are doing a new show. The team from Big Mouth is doing a new show called Mating Season about animals living and dating in the woods. Now I saw on this email Netflix sent me that this is gonna premiere in 2026. Yes. So I'm trying to get ahead of it.

Are you gonna come back for that? Absolutely. Okay, well it's a great opportunity to talk about how we didn't cast you in that one as well. I'd love for you to. But we might open up the animatic. We might open up a color to get you in there. Put a goose in this, put a goose in there.

Put a goose in there. Take a chance, put a goose in there. Yeah, no, I need no real estate out here, so ridiculous. It's like a hundred acorns for two by two, so I need a job. Oh, okay, right, right, right. For two, and that's a thousand square feet. I mean, for us, that would be a thousand square feet.

A hundred acorns. One square foot is a thousand dollars for one third. Yeah, so a hundred acorns is about a thousand dollars. Yes, a thousand square feet. Those are expensive acorns. And would you be paying me in cash dollars, acorns, worms? I'd be pouring in loonies And would you be paying me in cash dollars, acorns, worms? I'd be pouring in loonies.

I'd be paying you in Canadian loonies. Hey, that's, you know, you might get them and go, this isn't a lot. It's actually worth two. So the transfer is great. Yeah, the transfer. It's worth twice as much. But don't transfer it at the airport

because they'll get you. They'll get you at the airport. Yeah, exactly. So you fly, but then you still take commercial airlines. I flew Alaska. It's a commercial airlines. I flew Alaska. It's a long trip. I flew Alaska, I had two layovers. I did a layover in Newark, which was really good.

I love it there. Yeah, it's a great town. It's a great airport though, ironic, but it is crazy, so you don't fly. You made it sound like you're like, I flew 2,800. I flew 2,800 miles to get here. Yeah, I flew 2,800 on points. Technically, you didn't even pay for it.

You paid for it with points. Paid on it with points. Credit card points or airline points? No, points, bugs. Bugs, oh, this makes sense. This doesn't make sense. She paid for airline flight. Alaska accepts loonies with cash and bug points.

And bug points. Well, this all makes sense, Pamela. And I wish you luck, but I have to say, we are running out of time, unfortunately, on the show. The only thing that we have time for is one final feature, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. ["Plugs"] Open up that plug bag.

Oh, very abrupt ending. That was Plug Bag by Shoshin. Thanks to Shoshin for that. If you have a plugs theme, head over to cbbworld.com slash plugs. You'll find everything you need there to make our Closing Up the Plug Bag remixes. And also you can upload your songs there.

And Nick, you have so much going on. What are we plugging? Plug in, adults, big mouth. I don't understand you. Bing's AI. Bing's AI, yeah. Yep, and- Human-

Human growth hormone. Human growth hormone. Yeah, you've been on HGH for a long time. Yep, yep, yep. And I've been noticing the difference in you. I mean, some people do it naturally, like, you know, Kameal, and you instead have taken the other route. No, and you can tell that my energy as the podcast

has gone up. Has really flagged, I have to say. And by the way, acne has broken out just in the hour that you've been here. Yeah, acne is broken out on my ever expanding brow. So anyway, check that out. Check all that out. And Bait Turfoil, what do you want to plug?

I'm going to be staring into the sun on Thursday. What's going on with the sun on Thursday? Is there anything in particular or is this? I just, I really want to just get my pupils as small as possible. Yeah. I'm trying to break a Guinness Book of World Records. Oh, that's good.

You know, Fred Guinness is on the show. He's in charge of the records. Oh, is he? We should hook you guys up. I would love it because it's sort of a side hustle I have. It's like getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. Oh, that's awesome. And have you reconnected with your father's?

The Turfoils? Sure, yeah. If you need me to be more specific, yes, the Turfoils. Well, I have also a real father who left me in the woods. And a real mother, presumably. And a real mother who left me in the woods. Have you ever tracked them down with, I know 23andMe just went bankrupt,

but maybe you could get in there before they. I just got a text. Whoa. Whoa. Can we act like we're on Love Island? I just got a text. I just read it. It says, I got a text from Jack Nicholson who's listening to this live.

Oh shit. He would like you to know that he and Angelica Houston are your biologists. Oh my gosh. Maybe they conceived me during Pritzi's honor. That would be so cool. That would be so cool. 1985's Pritzi's honor.

That fits my age. Yeah. Perfectly to a T. To a T, wow. Wow, that's amazing. That could be real. Congratulations. Thank you so much.

You're a Hollywood royalty. No wonder you're such a Santa file. I like the Lakers. Is that a good Jack Nicholson impersonation? Hey, it's hereditary. Hey, I like the Lakers. Oh my God, I couldn't even get a spitting image. Wow, and Pamela, what do you wanna plug here?

Is it gonna go to your ex? Oh God. It's gonna go, oh God. It's a toxic loop. It is. You gotta ditch this guy. You gotta ditch this guy. I will, I will, I will. And I just got a text.

You got another text? Yeah, it's Michael Buble is your ex. Oh, I love his Christmas album so much. Wow. And when he sing, I come immediately when he sings White Christmas, you know what I mean? I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. Yeah. All right, well, I want to plug,
