This is a HeadGum Podcast. Can I ask, is there a video element to this? Nope. Are you going to use the video? No. Okay. Were you going to do something really funny? No, I just had a Zoom.

I was going to just do a Zoom background. I thought it would be fun. We had some visual gags planned, but we can scrap them. That's fine. I made a whole thing, but it's fine. Check the props out. The visual stuff to us is kind of a crutch and like having a tv show like sort of the same thing is like well yeah i find

that just like it's fun and it adds and it's quite it's like comedy with a net you know so reliant on that whereas like yeah you actually the art comes from having nothing to offer view actually the art comes from having nothing to offer okay yeah wow well i'm just gonna name some some artists um sure um uh and uh uh i can't think of any off the top of my head no it's you wouldn't expect you to yeah but what i would have done in that moment is listed um artists with an aesthetic you know and you would have realized that actually, you know, a beautiful image or a visual component can actually really add to the art. But that's just a different opinion. It's honestly one or the other.

There's a painting and there's a podcast and everything else is cheap. Okay. It's like, okay. Yeah. It's actually just like a second layer. So you get it. In a lot of ways it's like... Yeah, so you understand.

Yeah, in a lot of ways it's kind of like it's more creative in a lot of ways but i see your point it's basically like if you had uh beautiful lisa the painting and you had her then having that you needed to have her say like hey what's up yeah i'm just totally unnecessary she is saying hey what's up but she's doing it just with that little that sort of side that smirking kind of her face is doing something is it not um so actually when i went to the louvre um in in france i actually had an earpod in and i was listening to music while i while i experienced her and um I have to tell you, that multimedia experience was profound in a way that you would never imagine. What were you listening to when you saw her? I can't remember right now exactly what I was listening to.

It was a profound experience, one that the artist did not intend. And you can't recall the specifics of it. Sounds pretty good. Yeah, I don't think it's fair yeah i don't think it's fair to just like say that it's not um good or creative it just that but like i see your point but it's like it's you know it's kind of just like cutting things out that but yeah i see what you're saying and i just want to say for zachary as as we start this, this is a podcast that we are going to need you to be able to come up with specifics, especially when you prompt them.

You couldn't name a single visual artist, and then you also couldn't name any music. And for us, that really is going to remove so many options for us. These were both concepts that you introduced. Yeah, so when I when i when i set it up i should probably have an idea of where it's going it doesn't have to be good and frequently you'll find when we're doing it on the show it's not but the fact that you just have even a sort of a placeholder idea in there i think is going to get us to the finish line so that we can at least

that's american comedy for you though that's that's an american australia that's not how we do it here but that's why that's that's not how we do it here. That's very office or like a Michael Schur kind of mentality, I guess. American office versus British office. British, or I guess British Empire office. They introduce a concept and then just let it drift away. Just watch it kind of float away for a long time it's what's not said you know i believe there was a british playwright um who i can't recall the name of right now i could feel that you weren't gonna have a playwright's name and it could you know what's crazy i was thinking

harold pinter but i chose not to say it that's the sort of comedy I'm talking about here. Having something there, having a joke, a specific, and then choosing instead to do nothing at all. That is... Can we just do the thing? Can we just play the theme song? Can we just do it? Can we just go, Kevin?

So I peaced. I got out of there. Deuces late row i'm at you know it's a place where you bring your tv in to paint your own tv right beautiful idea and i have this list like very so powerful where i paint scrappy do on the screen and kind of a lip the like let me adam pose because i had an idea that like to fit him in certain other into like pacific rim and which and i'm sorry which tv because you have your sharp your sanyo you of course have your tcl and then uh the last time i was there you were eyeing an insignia that i thought would have looked very handsome on one of your walls this was a toshiba okay he said it

is it was uh toshiba autumn please don't mind my drip deep it goes very very deep yes yes one of the thick ones goes all the way back and i bring it in i paint it i play pacific rim on it it works perfectly it's so funny to see scrappy do like fighting these guys punching the guys yes you know uh robots and then they're like okay okay, thanks. We'll, we have to fire this. They like burn it up. Okay. Weird. And they're like, see ya. And I'm like, I don't get to keep, this is my TV.

I don't get to keep this. I made this for myself. And they're like, no, we give it to an old person. Okay, sorry. So they destroy it or they give it to an old person they fire it so it's not they actually like set it on fired in the kiln they put it in the kiln yes and that bakes scrappy do onto the screen oh and scrappy do and charlie day will be permanently fused together in that case yes and so that was another issue is it also bakes whatever is

currently on the screen from pacific rim onto the screen and it was charlie day it also bakes whatever is currently on the screen from Pacific Rim onto the screen. And it was Charlie Day. It's like, I don't want. That's not your favorite part. I don't want him to be fighting him. It's not funny. It's not funny to punch Charlie Day.

That's punching down to punch a kaiju. Okay, now we've got some comedy, but we really shouldn't talk about Pacific Rim the whole time because we have these guests that are... But isn't that interesting for who we have on the show? No, it's so perfect, right? Guests actually from that part of the world. No, from the section.

Which is the first time that we've ever done this. It's Auntie Donna, who are these three gentlemen who actually have their own names as well and this is a group of of some kind and what what about this like what is like talk about what it is and like what, talk about this. What the, you know, what is this? Because I look at this and I'm like, tell me what this is. I'm almost pissed when I see it because it's so, you know, it's so confusing. It's so good. Yeah.

It's a tough, it's a big question to open with, you know. And who's this? What are we? What do we do? And who's this? What are we? What do we do? And who is this? Who is this? And who is this? Who are you?

So who am I specifically? Who's speaking? Yeah. I am, my name is Zach. Okay. Now I'm Mark. Okay. Very similar.

And Broden. And Broden. And Broden, yeah. And now that is a different energy, which will be great for this ongoing. I thought we were going to do well. Mr. Bad. Yeah. Sorry, we spoke about coming on with and trying to sell it. Sorry, I'm just touching on.

Just the other day, I'm sorry. I was just called. I was just referred to as Mr. Bad by, I guess, a co-host of the show. I'm actually the host. He's probably the main host. I'm the sidekick. And Kevin's something of an MC character as well. So he's really more of an official host too.

Oh, I meant nothing by it. There's nothing, you know, co-host. A co-pilot is no less a pilot than a than a pilot is a it's a pilot um it is they don't get to touch anything uh they don't get to i mean they basically they have stuff to touch but it doesn't do anything to the plane they just give them kind of like it might as well be like a children's toy they just have a little i didn't know that they have to go to the bathroom constantly because it's very important that

if they do ever take over, if it ever is happening that they have to take over, they cannot need to go to the bathroom. So even if they don't have to go, they have to try

to go to the bathroom every like it's mainly why they're there is so that if there is an emergency, there's one pilot who definitely doesn't have to go to the bathroom. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I did.

I did know that. I did know that. I read it in books. Zach knew it. Zach knew it. Mr. Bad didn't. So that's interesting. That's sort of one of the dynamics that will play off on stage

in our sketch comedies. I'm very much Sweden when it comes to these things. I didn't really know. I didn't really know. Mark, you're quiet up there. I'm just sitting on the fence because I don't like to avoid confrontation. I forgot you were even here, Mark. Yeah, I get a lot of anxiety and stuff.

You're in the middle. So the stage, the stage, like, wow, we're doing this for real, huh? Oh, yeah. This is happening. We're doing it. Do you do live, live stage sort of comedy? Yeah, we've actually done two entire tours that were five shows total.

Yep. Yeah, wow. There's nothing else. It's there. There's nothing else. When that curtain comes up and you go, okay, this is us. We're in this together. This is a room.

The connection, the community that you form there, it's your own little world. The whole rest of the world just disappears and you're just communing with the audience in this way that is like, it's very erotic isn't it let's always think in a lot of ways yeah do you let's let can we let mr bad uh i'm so sorry mr bad mr bet some room to no worries about the erotic aspect uh sorry bad here no worries mr mr bad here um i often think when i go out there I wonder who's sitting in the back row tonight.

Who's back there? Who's going to go home and become the next Mr. Bad? Because that was you. Who's going to go home and change the way people think about theatre? I do the show for the back two and a half rows. Right, right. And all the rows in front of that don't exist, and I actually basically could just as well piss on them

because they're such goody-two-shoes. Oh, here I am. I'm, like, right up on the stage, and they're so thirsty. And to me, it's like I want the person who is actually already has had been slaked because you watch them you like you watch the back row and they're like arms folded and they're like okay prove it yeah right this ain't gonna make me laugh show me something right we uh we we actually so we would we were performing very instinctually for a number of years and exits right there bro

sorry to interrupt but this is what the back row is saying exits right there bro i can walk there anytime i want you know go ahead what were you saying absolutely no no no absolutely and and that was and we found that we were all going to the back row right because that's that's when you're a performer you're hungry for that and we actually had to sit down and we said Look, let's split this audience into three Let's not deny that front two-thirds what they came for So that's where Brodom really took the Mr. Bad mantra He's our back row boy, as we like to call him I'm the front, I'm there for the front

The book smarts And I'm feeling that I'm in the middle, I get the middle Oh hi Mark middle there you are yeah so so quiet quiet yeah yeah yeah you know like uh i i tend to not just sort of like uh waffle on i tend to speak when i have something to say you know that kind of thing not not not you know it's very different i understand. And so far you've been saying just like, and here I am. And in the middle. But that's big.

That's really important. Talk about performing in Australia. So Australia, I assume, is unique from a performance perspective. This is a country of 300 people spread out over the territory the size of Africa. So how are you, like, is it just sort of one by one you're getting to everybody? Like, how does this work, performing live? That's a big question.

Oh, wow. Mark, did you want to take that, man? I know you missed a middle, but... No, no. No, he doesn't want to do that. Mark's passing on this one, so we'll get Mark later, we hope. Who knows? Because that's the crazy thing. You, so we'll get Mark later, we hope. Who knows? Because that's the crazy thing.

You're going to get three different answers. From Mr. Bad, I don't know. I don't know what we're going to get. Well, we're going to get, at most, two different answers at this point because Mark is declining to answer. I know you're sort of the brain. I can answer if you want, but you're not going to like it. I'm trying to hold my tongue here,

because performing in Australia, brother, it's something else. All right? And I don't want to upset you. That's kind of what Hayes said, was that it must be different. Yeah, it was different. Yeah, I was sort of talking about how it was different. Yeah, that was the question itself. I missed that.

I'm sorry, I missed that. You didn't hear that. Had I heard that, I would have been fine to answer because it is just a little bit different. Okay, yeah. The crowds are, in America, they're sort of one way. In Australia, they're a little bit, they're different. Uh-oh.

They're different. I'm sensing a riff coming on this is when i kind of kick my feet up i fold my arms and i go all right time to enjoy the show because this is just clarifying and i've i wanted to talk to kevin i said i got the reins and you're in so fans all right is this is that okay is it okay to to be a bit sillier with this one? To just unleash an entire riff? Yes. Within reason for sure.

Yeah, absolutely. I don't want to ruin your form, like the form of your show. No, and I don't want that either. But I do think that guests should feel free to get a little bit silly especially in these not too silly not too silly not too silly it can't be too much but i tell you what it's it's a real relief not to have the weight of the show on on my shoulders right now you know we get to just have fun and yeah really usually is huh zachary like normally you are feeling that pressure of needing to carry the rest of the team it's your show yes yeah well look

it really depends on the type of show we're doing if we're doing a what i like to call the front row show yeah absolutely i'm driving it if it's that the intellectual stuff the book smart stuff but um maybe we're doing something that's a little rougher a little uh a little harder if you will um and then we're looking for not the book smarts but the street smarts and that's what i'm just going to handball right over to broden you know and that's the mr bad best thing about working yeah yeah yeah i'm noticing even from the zoom names is that we have mark is mark and broden is broden. And Zachary is actually Auntie Donna himself. And so like that, he has named himself the show and the show is him.

So we have essentially our lead character here, even in the Zoom. Auntie Donna featuring, yes, Broden and yes, Mark. But Zach, it sort of goes without saying he is Auntie Donna. yes, Mark, but Zach, it sort of goes without saying he is Auntie Donna. It might be because Zach signed into the Auntie Donna business account, Zoom, which we spoke about not doing, and Broden and I followed the sort of conversation we had before this about signing into a private account. But Zach, why don't you let us know about that? Why don't you explain why it says Auntie Donna?

Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. That's a great sort of thought and theory. Absolutely, yes, I did sign in on the Auntie Donna account. But it's also true that Auntie Donna started as a solo project of mine. It was my character, great Aunt Donna living in the house on the hill. And when I folded you into the team. Wacky family stuff, wacky family stuff. Yeah.

And when I folded Broden into the team. Oh, thank you. I can't believe you've seen that stuff. Yeah, you've seen the tape? Oh, no, just families, like, are some of the funniest. And my family's Italian, so I know all about that. Mamma Mia's and all of that, all of that stuff. Well, that's when Mark, we folded Mark in for our second show.

Back then it wasn't Aunty Donna the brand, it was the name of the show. And for our second show, Aunty Donna and the Italians Next Door, that's when Mark came in. And I tell you, there were sparks there. It was a really wonderful show. That one. I think the beginning of what we are now, I would love to see to have seen that,

that naming convention. Uh, this is so funny. I was actually, uh, watching an interview with Lauren the other day who talked about if SNL had started in a certain time period in a certain area, the era,

it would have been called Mango. You're joking. It would have been, the show would have been named after... And Mr. Bad, you know that he's not. I'm not joking. And I'm saying it like in a very normal,

non-jokey way. When he's joking, he acts crazy. The show would have been named after the character Mango. the show would have been me i don't know the character no hang on hang on i don't know hayes i don't know hayes davenport that's fair whoa whoa whoa calm down hey hey oh and we're moving like we're honestly we're moved into like talking business now like in the just sort of like conversation naturally naming shows you know yeah this kind of thing where it's like how do you name a show how do you get a show on the air like who you know this producers and tv and all this i mean this is what you're doing right i mean

you guys are doing it's a show right yeah real yeah real yeah yeah yeah yeah we hit the big time we hit the big that's It's a proper show. It's a real show. Big time. Big time show. Big time Hollywood show. And Scott Ackerman is producing, right? Yes.

Scott. Scott. Scott. Scott. Mr. Ackerman. We're just going Scott, yeah. Comedy Bang Bang Zone. You're friends with him.

Yeah, good friends. Good friends. He saw our stuff and just went, I have to put this. Well, he saw we were doing a show. We were doing a live show. And he came, he saw the live show. And his reaction to that was, I have to work. I have to work with these funny, funny boys.

Because he said to us, he's like like i see in you what i saw in me and we so he i'm just sorry the my my question is he reached out to you he saw the show and like he reached out through like your reps or like what happened what his people his people there's a man named dave jacowski who works yeah oh no Yeah, oh, no, I know. Don't. You have to tell me who Dave Jarkowski is. I actually had. Well, he works for Comedy Bang Bang. He's one of the producers.

Yes, I know him. Awesome funny guy. He's so cool. I know who he is. Had us over to his house. We had burgers. The name I know. I haven't had audience with mr sorry sorry sorry sorry no i would love to and i it's it sounds really cool and i've heard a lot of people who've met him and

they say that he's like just the best but yes you're yes you're you're raising your hand mr nasty mr beth i don't want to stop the show this is funny this is funny and i'm really happy to have come on it's some of the funniest shit ever it's like it's not even trying to be like that's what i think is so awesome is like none of us are trying to be funny i haven't tried to say no no no funny thing the whole day i just want to point out i don't want to make a big deal out of it but the zoom names seem to be changing a bit um in what manner? Like what? Well, for example, you, Sean, your name's now, you've put your name as Auntie Donna. And then obviously the producer of the show, Kevin Bartelt.

Paul Blart. Blartelt. Blartelt. Mark has put his name as that. And I'm just, am I being pranked now? Or what is Are we cracking jokes? No, I honestly

I don't know how to do that Okay, and Zach's changed his name To Sushi Friend Now That was for the guys That's a bit of a joke we have with Dave Jarkowski. I just thought I'd do that. You said you had burgers, but there's like a sushi.

Oh, that was the first time we caught up with him. The one time I saw him, I was outside a sushi place and I was sort of waiting. Yeah, Dave loves sushi. He's a big sushi guy, loves sushi guy. And Scott too. Scott loves sushi. Scott does, yeah. Yeah. As loves sushi. He's a big sushi guy. He loves sushi. And Scott, too. Scott loves sushi. Scott does, yeah.

Yeah. As a gift. No, no, no. He hates it as a gift. And if you gave it to him as a gift, he'd be pissed. He'd be so mad. So don't. Don't do that.

You should know that. He likes to pick his own. Yes. Yeah, he's more of a sushi train man. He likes to get on the train. Scott's so cool. You call it a train. A sushi train.

Sushi train. So Dave reaches out. Is the first meeting with just Dave? No, so Dave reached out to Kat Dale. Kat Dale, who is our management in Australia. And they had a bit of a back and forth. Management just like for your, for you. Like just like, just for you.

Like you're a store. Oh, okay. So when you reach a certain level, when you sort of. You're going to have to go back go back go back go back go back so like this is uh this is an australian thing i guess in the in the states we don't like we're just like we don't have like a like a person doesn't have like a management that is that is like shawn is saying that here is for a store okay sorry i thought we don't actually have this is really a little awkward i thought this was the hollywood um it's a it's a it's i'm pretty sure there's a i know a lot of of artists in

hollywood that have have what's called man so that's so interesting because before the show before the show yes yes you had the opportunity bring this up you had the opportunity to and you said you were talking about artists and you had the opportunity to mention any artist and you couldn't name a single one and so now you seem to know so many artists okay and so let's see if you can name one now let's actually name one right now yeah this is very adversarial. It's actually not. It's just purely informational. We're holding you accountable for what you actually said. If that feels like an attack, that's actually on you, my bro. Okay, man. That's totally okay.

And there are tonal differences in how we converse. You know, Australians, Americans, we convert. It felt adversarial, okay? It felt like you were coming at me but i totally understand which is on you as which is what i said okay all right but when you uh communicate in that way that and we were naming an artist we were naming one artist i just don't want to distract from what the actual task at hand is any artist name any artist he's showing artist. He's showing interest.

Quick, quick, quick. And he's showing interest because you said you know a ton of artists and it's actually polite for him to follow up by saying, well, fucking name one then. Okay, yeah, absolutely. And I'm happy to name one, but like, where's the detail here?

What artist? Do you want a visual artist? So I guess my specific request is any artist. Bitch, name one. One artist. I'm more than happy to name. Come on. We were talking this morning about artists.

I made a Netflix show in LA. You prepped for this? So every morning Zach and I get on a call, we talk about the artists we like. I don't understand why this is so difficult for him. We spoke for an hour about Why are you drowning? Why are you making us look like idiots? Say an artist, Zach

Say an artist Any artist, Zach Come on You said 20 this morning Why is this hard? I don't understand what I'm meant to say here I'm legitimately confused here Any name? Any name!

Any name! Zach! I feel like there's a lot of people getting very aggressive with me. I am an artist. Okay, that's great. Motherfucker, call me aggressive again. Because I've clarified actually that we're being

nice, we're being polite, we're showing interest. As the person who initially asked, I'm good on this. Like, the question was name any artist, and Zach's answer was me. So that, to me, is like totally cool. And I actually, like, to me, that is like,

that's connecting with me. Right? And thank you for that thank you for communicating that that's all i was asking for was that level of communication disappointing we had to push very hard well i didn't realize that i i was included in that list i i assumed zach of course you are zach zach that's the whole point that's why you're on here i don't know if you know about a term called the imposter syndrome Of course you are, Zach. Zach, that's the whole point. That's why you're on here. I don't know if you know about a term called the imposter syndrome. Do I know about it? Do I know about the imposter syndrome? Yeah.

Yeah, I know. I had a big bowl of this stuff last night. I was deep in the pasta. And Mark knows about that. Mark's family. No, no, no. Italians. Yeah, that's very, very different pasta bowl. Not. Fresh mark's family except that no no no italians yeah that's that's

very very different uh pasta bowl not fresh no no no we're not talking about in pasta syndrome never ending where you believe that you are in pasta not talking about that that's a different imposter i don't think i belong you said it the exact same like to me i don't know the way it sounds when you say it is exactly the same listen in in pasta you're in a ravioli okay you're stuck in maybe you're a pork a pork and thyme sort of meat uh mix you know over just a straight pasta. Right. I guess that I don't think of pork and thyme or straight beef as necessarily

pasta. You don't put beef in ravioli? We're talking about in the pasta. That's the filling that they do over there. The filling in the... What are you putting in your raviolis? Me, personally? What's in your raviolis?

What's in your raviolis? What's in your raviolis what's in your ravioli what's in your raviolis this is america so pizza pizza you love yum yum my mouth's watering at the notion we put a little pizza in there you put a little pizza in your ravioli yeah Yeah, a little pizza. Just the tiniest pizza you've ever seen inside the ravioli. So different. So different to Australia. Well, this is what's so cool, these cultural differences. And any time, Mark, that you want to take that riff and just go?

About how things are different here? Just let me know. You've got a willing audience. You've got an audience. I'm going to grab the reins and we're going to go down that whole different thing. I've got to pull the trigger. You've got an audience. You pull the trigger. I'm going to grab the reins and we're going to go down that whole different thing. I've got, yeah. You need to calm down. Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're making a fool of yourself. Mark, everyone else is sitting, I want to say. So like, is there anywhere that you can sit during this? Because you are, I think that's part of the issue the energy uh you are sitting yes i don't know why you would say that i thought america was the free the free now it does look like you're sitting but before it looks it does look different from the way it was before no i'm

sitting you see you said you thought america was a free country instead of a country that was founded to be a prison. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, okay. Broden, you might not know this because you're not the book smart one. He's referring to Australia's history as a convict colony. Okay. Yeah, no, thank you for clarifying.

Mine's more like where can you catch the train. And by the way, I think that's great. I'm not saying that as a bad thing. I think it is good. Do you? Yes you yes i do that's why i said i only talk about stuff i think that is good on the show no this show is all about positivity yeah i i think it's i love i'm as a compliment i like that you could walk into a a walgreens and buy a machine gun you landed it there froden you landed it there so we don't actually so that is the kind of thing you asked before you asked before about like being silly and stuff yes we absolutely do that but like i know your show is like that's okay you want to talk about differences okay we walk into a safe way we'll buy a jar of passata.

We'll buy some prosciutto. What was the first thing? Maybe we'll buy some sliced. Passata. Jar of passata. A jar of passata. A jar of passata. Mark, are you standing or sitting?

I'm hungry for this now. What does that mean? A jar of passata. I'm sitting. A jar. I'm sitting on a chair. A jar of passata. We walk into a Safeway. We buy a jar of passata. Okay, so we say. Not a passata. We a jar of passata. We walk

in the safe way, we buy a jar of passata. Not a bazooka. Jorge Passata, which was a baseball player. I don't know what your version is. You had a jar of passata playing baseball? Things are different.

Things are different there. It's different and we will get into that for sure. We will get into that for sure we will and i think a lot of maybe the tension we were feeling before there was as i as i noted there was a lot of aggression i think maybe some of that was down to misunderstanding um you know baseball versus cricket um you know passata versus a you know a jar of tomato sauce or gravy or whatever you'd call it, passata, to you is a prominent baseball athlete.

Wouldn't call it gravy. Well, some do. But again, different. Different. So. Different. Hollywood Hamburg. Eating better is easy with factors.

conversations what does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around at the door and they take their little index finger and they kind of like draw it towards them they're pulling it what does that mean does their finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull down the spider down yeah But I've seen this too after a lot of dates. And I need and have needed something like Babel to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger? Because it looks like an emergency. I know I was supposed to do something. Or how about those people that stand in the street?

They're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost and they're really aggressively like pushing it out i I'm like, am I supposed to pull over and get out of the car? Or just do it out the window as I'm going? That's what I've been doing. That seems dangerous. But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners, I'm sure.

monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills. You can see all your subscriptions in one place, and if I see something I don't want, I can cancel it with a tap. I never have to get on the phone with customer service the subscriptions are insidious they're the scourge of our modern life and you never realize what you're subscribing to or that you're still being charged I know that I was about 19 dresses into receiving each one of the 27 dresses from the movie 27 dresses before i found out how much it was

costing yes that they intended to send me by the way you'll this will shock you 54 dresses if i did not cancel and i you know oh that one's got an end point by like dress 14 15 i think it starts to become clear like these aren't the dresses oh no they were not from the movie they didn't resemble anything from the movie they were not they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear yeah and one of them was a dressing yeah one of them was it was it was a vinaigrette it was a raspberry vinaigrette it was a vinaigrette. It was a raspberry vinaigrette. It was a French raspberry vinaigrette dressing. They'll even try to get you a refund

for the last couple months of wasted money and negotiate to lower your bills for you by up to 20%. All you have to do is take a picture of your bill and Rocket Money takes care of the rest. They have over 5 million users and have helped save its members an average of $720 a year with over $500 million in canceled subscriptions.

And that was, I mean, just to be fully transparent, that $500 million, most of that was the dresses. Well, yeah. I mean, you're talking about Hollywood memorabilia. You're talking about, like, ornate gowns you know in some cases and so that was uh yeah that was costing me a lot a lot a lot stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash the boys that's rocket money.com slash the boys rocket money.com slash the boys and back to the cultural thing you this idea of like having a manager who is communicating with dave and so that conversation happens none of you are present for that or you are what's going on happens it just happens and then manager gets to call mark is it a phone or yeah

it's again it depends on the type of gig if it's like um if it's like a literary deal the writing you know the the art side of things, she's calling me because I'm the front of the room guy. Yeah. If it's sort of something a bit wishy-washy, maybe network television news type interview, she's going to call Mark. Okay.

If it's like a street fight or a brawl or, you know, that sort of thing, she's going to call Mr. Bad. Call Mr. Bad. Call Mr. Bad a kill. She hasn't had to yet, thank God. But, you know, it's important to have that delineation. So you have this... The manager is your representation for art opportunities,

wishy-washy network news opportunities. I don't know what the problem here is. I feel like it's... This isn't hard to understand. This is so well known about the way managers and things work. It's so odd that you have no- It might help you tell us where you are and then we'll go from there because I'm sitting here going, manager, yeah.

Sure. And you're going, what is this? How does this work am i a jersey mike absolutely absolutely and i'm like uh honey we're honey we're at a you know it's just basic 101 yeah it's like you're calling from the moon and we're already at mars right now i don't want to be arrogant here but that's what it feels like I don't know how the moon even works anymore. To me, it's not arrogant at all. I actually don't understand what you're saying.

It's like for us, we're like on the moon and you're like on Earth, if that makes more sense. So can I say this then? Earth to Auntie Donna, we don't know what the fuck you're talking about. the fuck you're talking about but i'm happy to say like what are how it works in america is uh seven years ago you start a podcast it does not work it's unsuccessful you end it you start a different podcast and then you do that one for the next six and a half six and a half yeah yeah and then now in 2020 the way we're doing things is you have a podcast. You don't have any representation associated with it. It does not change into like a TV show.

No, yes, it doesn't. Or a book. And Scott, for example, as somebody who you guys apparently know, or even the Dave guy guy is not calling anyone nobody's calling you we just have dave here so there is no one for dave to really call necessarily yeah dave calls himself and goes like hi i'm you know i just heard me i don't think of it this way if i'm being honest i just wake up in the morning and I go, what's funny today? How can I find truth and how can I lampoon someone today?

And what is that and what does it end up being? It depends on the day, you know. Like just like what's – but it's like one example. What's something today or ideally tomorrow really for me? I might wake up and paint a picture. I might wake up and say, we've got to do something about this Trump clown. So, I'm an artist was actually a response to the last question. So, if you wanted another artist, Broden is another artist.

So, this is actually a different question. That was to Zach's prompt. And this one is like, what is the thing you're lampooning to? There's always a delay with Zoom. I'm just trying to explain to you guys you are you're talking about who's your you i know you kind of people you're the kind of people who come into a room and you're talking to me you're looking over my shoulder oh where's you know someone more important who's someone i can talk to now that's going to get me up the ladder that's how you guys are someone there could be but it doesn't matter here's the thing i walk into a room i can be talking to brad pitt i can be talking to well he's there i want to talk

to him then yeah i want to talk to him now i'm trying to explain based on your own example i would want to talk to brad pitt that's certainly that's your problem that's what i'm trying to explain to you i walk into a room and a bad example for who you'd be talking to then no i'm trying to listen i'm trying to explain to you i walk into a room i'm think, how could this be? Well, bad example for who you'd be talking to then. No, I'm trying to, listen, I'm trying to explain to you, I walk into a room, I'm like, how can this be an artwork? How can this be a sketch comedy? How can this be a Netflix, six-part Netflix series? I think that way.

And then everything else is taken care of. We are true creatives. We're not worrying about, oh, I need to send that memo to get the deal. I need to schmooze my way onto Comedy Bang Bang and I need to send that email. Not how we think. Sorry, my sound stopped working for a second, but it sounded the same to me

because no one was saying anything that was actually real and important. So it sounded exactly the same as when it was working. And for your information, we don't need to schmooze. We haven't been invited on Comedy Bang Bang in over three years. So we don't exactly need to schmooze to do that. And by the way, speaking of sending an email, what would the email even say?

Okay. So this is, okay. All right. I know what you're getting at right now. I know what you're trying to ask. Oh, please. No, it's like you said an email. So it's like, what exactly would even like the wording of that email be?

Like this crazy example of like an email. It's like, okay, what would the email even say if you even know what you're talking about? What are we even talking about? Who's this email to? Is this an email that Dave took out? Exactly. Exactly. You don't know. You're making it what are we even talking about who's this email to is this a exactly exactly you don't know you're making it up there's no email because i don't even know if i can help you right now i think you're asking for help i think that's what i'm identifying well let's see like let's honest i'll bet you can't either but like let's see if you can i'll bet you can't hey easy to settle easy to settle Say what the email would say. Then all of a sudden. I can tell you the last email I sent to Dave Joukowsky,

the most important producer in the Comedy Bang Bang office. I sent him an email last week. Do you know what it was? It was like, hey, watched any good movies recently? That's the rapport. That's what's happening. Interpersonal relationships. You leave the business to the lawyers, to the representatives.

That's how you get ahead, boys. But, guys, the easiest, like, I mean, look, if you want to make it in this biz, right, just follow our example. Get Scott. You guys are good guys. We've heard your podcast. You're full of spunk. We think you're very funny.

If Scott heard what you were doing. That's so nice. Seriously, thank you. Thank you so much for saying that. Just get Scott to listen you were doing. That's so nice. Seriously, thank you. Thank you so much for saying that. Just get Scott to listen to your stuff. He came, he saw us, and he went, this is great. Is there anything else? And then he made a team and then he got us money.

If you get Scott, well, look, because Scott, no, he's got good taste. So if he hears something that he likes, he's going to want to make it. He heard us and he went, I'm giving them a Netflix show. He ran Netflix. He has a podcast sort of group, doesn't he? A podcast channel, yeah? He did for a long time. Like a podcast type thing.

And maybe email him about that. Say, hey, we've got this podcast. We'd love for it to be on your channel, on your podcast group. And maybe from that it could evolve into something else. You know, that's something you could try. Just get him to hear it. Just get him to see it. Make him aware of it.

Yeah, again. There's something else. If you have any other suggestion. Even something that sounds a lot harder would actually be better for us. What, Scott? So just to like a little, we've been doing this for a while. And so like a little history on've been doing this for a while and so like a little history on scott and like his his podcast group uh he did start a podcast group he sold it for

300 million dollars and he has been using that money to finance shows on netflix for 15 000 on Netflix for $15,000 at a time. So he'll make your show for $15,000. And all of that money is on screen. I mean, it looks great. Yes, a Michael Bolton comedy show, your show, and keeping the powder dry also if another show comes along. What powder? Sorry, what powder? So, yeah, sorry. Another show comes along. What powder? Sorry, what powder?

So, yeah, sorry. This is like, this is another like cultural thing. We say like, you keep the powder dry because this is what we put on our pasta here. We put this like very kind of, it's like a little stinky, but it's like. Yes, so that, yes, exactly. There you call it cheese. It's i call it i call it gunpowder because it's what makes the pasta really pop so this is this is what i'm talking about this is what broden was talking about you're putting gunpowder on on pasta

you know we had a conservative leader said no more gunpowder on pasta that's how it works in australia his name was his name was tony right it was tony tony blair and okay tony blair just said no more weird having a president named tony president tony yeah president tony but we love president tony nanny you know we love president t. And he took all the gunpowder off your pasta. And no one had anything to say about that. Mr. Bad, are you going to get in trouble with your nanny in your nanny state? Oh, wow.

So you have to have a babysitter, basically? Yeah, basically a babysitter. Yeah, that's really fun. That's really fun. It is fun. Yeah, it is fun. I'm having a time in my life we go to the doctor in australia or we go to university in australia and they give us money they literally you sign up for university and they say here is half a million dollars and you can do whatever you want with it that's how it works in australia and if you play every card

exactly right you use all the money just how you're supposed to, you might, if you're lucky, get six episodes on Netflix in America. It's in the Constitution. That's the Constitution. That's the Constitution. Whose Constitution? Mine.

Australia's Constitution. Mark's Constitution. Mine. My Constitution. Now, Mark, if you want to stand up again, that's okay. Like, you have got... I am standing. You are now standing.

You are. Okay. It's so hard to tell. We can only really see your chin. So, it's so interesting because I was getting very excited the entire episode to hear you just go off on the difference between America and Australia and then the homie sushi friend down here decided to just light it up with all this stuff about the health care and education and I feel like that's got to have taken a lot of the meat off the bone

for you know at university which we hear we we say at college the of Nevada, Las Vegas. So this is what you call your university. We don't say like university. We say the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Of Nevada, Las Vegas. It's those subtle differences. It's different. And I don't want to.

I imagine that's funny for your audience. I don't want to take pasta off Mark's plate here. So like if you now is the time if we're going to do this. Never take... I'm going to tell you and I'll come after you. No, don't get me. If you take pasta off my plate, I will, I will. Don't get me.

I will, I will. Don't get me, Mark. Because I love pasta and I'll come after you. Don't get me either. I'll tickle you. And don't get Hayes. I will. Please don't get me either.

I'll get Hayes. I'll get Hayes. I'll get Hayes. I don't want you to. I don't want you to. Mr. F't get haze I will I'll get haze I'll get haze I'll get haze I don't want you to Mr. Bad is confused or something Mr. Bad doesn't know what to say He's shocked I just remembered

I just remembered something You guys Like if you're looking for a leg up Just a little Life hack for getting up the ladder a bit We love life hacks A big thing A big thing we do when we go to LA

is we do this thing called the water bottle tour. Have you heard of that? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Sorry. No, Broden, I think you should say they're probably thinking a tour of water bottles. No, I already said I know.

Yeah, they make the water bottles. I already said I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it a water bottle tour is you cause they call it

like I like to call Hollywood hollow city sometimes because there's so much there's so much just like fake stuff

going on phony balonies is what we call them in Oz phony balonies oh we love your show right oh you guys are stars oh you guys are stars when is what we call them in Oz. Oh, we love your show.

Oh, you guys are stars. Oh, you guys are stars. Oh, you guys are the Sklars, yeah. Oh, my favorite part of your show is this part in the first 15 minutes. We get that too. People are always like, we love this. We have heard it. Yeah, Mark did it 10 minutes ago.

Meant a lot to me but the water bottle to it you're going and meeting all the execs at the different offices and they hand you a water bottle um oh yeah you have to drink it come in have to drink it you don't have to it's a race oh you don't have to drink it no you don't have to no you can't you're not even you're allowed you can't even open it it's too it's stuck no no no no it's have to no you can't you're not even you're allowed you can't even open it it's too it's stuck no no no no it's just a normal you've done the water bottle yeah i have that's what i'm saying that's what i'm saying that's what i'm saying we've all done it right bottle doesn't open it's stuck and kevin's like what is that kevin's like what is this

i've never done this kevin he hasn't done it it opens it's just a bottle of water of course it opens but it's empty there's nothing in it no it's totally empty if there's something in it it's not water and Kevin's like oh I thought there was supposed to be water no there's nothing in there forget about the water bottle bit

forget about the water bottle bit forget about the water bottle bit forget about that because sometimes, Broden, are you just going to mention, they sometimes also offer you a coffee. Yeah, you can get a coffee or a water. But they call it the water bottle tour. Coffee bottle.

Coffee bottle. He's in a bottle now and I'm going, okay, hang on. This is why this town is so messed up. No. No, it isn't. Well, what if you said yeah and what if you said no? Guys, guys, guys, focus guys focus focus so what is it sushi friend said yeah and kevin bartell said no i'm really sorry about that i'm really sorry that one of them said yes no we like to be nice and unified on most things. We'll talk about this afterwards.

I'm really sorry about that. Can we offer you a free drink or something like that or a muffin or something? I'd take a muffin. Now, how does that – are you all – did you all move here? Are you all – okay, well, you're not – now, Mark, you're nodding and shaking your head. No, no. Yes. Yes. No, no. You're not... Now, Mark, you're nodding and shaking your head. No, no. Yes.

No, yes. You're back in Australia. We are back in Australia. Let me tell you what happened. Yeah, let Mr. Bad tell you what happened. What happened? What happened, Mr. Bad? Can I...

Before he starts, though... Tell him, Mr. Bad, tell him. But before Mr. Bad starts, though, he's an unreliable narrator. So we can't trust everything he says. And here's the book smart stuff again. We're in LA. We're living large, going to the cinemas every second night, you know, like going to Arnold Schwarzenegger's gym

and drinking smoothies out of, you know, whenever we want. And then a little thing called COVID happened, right? And Jargo, I call him Jargo, Dave Jargowski, and his team are like, get home, get safe. Get home and give this to Tom Hanks now, today. Right? Yeah, but we didn't get it. Because who's above Scott on the ladder, right?

We all know. I feel like this i feel like this is like oh this is out there this is out there thin up there you look scott looks up you don't see but one set of feet and it's mr tom hanks woody himself and it says andy on on that's all he can see he looks up he sees freaking the word andy on the bottom of a shoe yeah and what is a cowboy so think about that think about this think about that and he's made of plastic which i think is important to note vinyl yeah not really vinyl some but not yeah mostly not but yeah i think of it more more as a metaphor for sort of that plastic fantastic.

Yeah, credit card basically at this point. Yeah, it's not about how you think about it. The material is what the material is. I guess it's sort of the difference. Look, I don't want to be aggressive here. I don't want to like come at you. But metaphor, simile, these sorts of notions, this is what differentiates an entertainer from an artist.

Okay. Would you, I have been unable to mention a specific beyond yourself. You've got the one honest example. I guess Mr. Bad got lumped in there at one point. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Take the phone. Yeah. Go ahead. the one honest example i guess mr bag got lumped in there at one point yeah go ahead go ahead go no i had to take the phone yeah go ahead this is someone's got a phone call all right i'll go i'll go wow bell i think it's his doorbell i think it's a delivery that's what it sounds like over there huh i believe that would be netflix so netflix uh they were so happy with our six-part series.

They're delivering each of us, hand-delivering each of us some free AirPods. They said to us, we got an email this morning that said, guys, we are so happy with how the trailer launch has gone. We're sending you free AirPods. And those AirPods, they're going to be delivered to Broden right now. And we're not fucking around either. You're going to see. He's going to come inods they're going to be delivered to broden right now and we're not fucking around either you're going to see he's going to come in he's going to come here we're

going to say broden get those airpods and and we will fucking prove you i see your doubting eyes no i'm just wondering if they're no no no but i'm just wondering if they're if they're airpods or if they are wireless headphones which we have provided with those two by Ray J's company. Our understanding is that they are AirPods. But look, there may be confusion there. These ones look pretty similar. The artist Ray J, and that's actually an artist that I can name very easily,

did buy advertising on our show for these wireless headphones that do basically look exactly like AirPods, except they're huger. They're huger and they're a different color. And the speaker came out and it was very sharp. And if it had come out inside my ear, I think I would have had to go to the hospital.

A little piece came out of Sean's. And if it had gone into his ear it would have very gradually uh i'm forgetting the name of the company it would be called raytheon oh okay yeah you don't want to forget the name of the company here it's it's really important um to get that plug we there. We're shouting him out. Yeah, absolutely. Sorry, I interrupted. You were saying COVID happened. Well, Mr. Bad was saying that. Mr. Bad was saying that.

I noticed Mr. Bad read everyone's name when they changed it, right? But then mine, he actually has not been wanting to read and mark has done has done one as well and bro you've changed he has returned for some surprises new surprises i don't know how to do it but they're what i could have done some good ones you've changed your name to mr even worse which is great it's a fun little zoom name but you don't just become pow um you don't just become Mr. Bad by changing it. Don't feel too good, huh? I don't feel awesome, but I'm telling you that you don't become something just by changing it. Neither do I. I'm not feeling well.

I am not feeling good. Some stomach cramps. What have you been eating? I ate a frozen pizza right before this really fast. It was a little bigger than I thought too had you cooked it? did you eat the whole thing? I so

well who goes first which one is it first cause if we're there's two questions you're a professional Mr. Evenwurst field both fucking questions you can't get too hot too political for you just answer both questions I finished it yes parts of it were cooked get too hot, too political for you? Just answer both questions. This is what I want to say.

Take your time. So political. Was it hot? He just said. Parts of it were hot. Parts of it were hot, for sure. Everyone's talking on top of each other. Was it big?

It was bigger than he thought. Did you eat the whole thing? Did you eat the whole thing in one go? Yes Alright, so here we are now At the end of that, we're all happy We're all friends, this is good, we're having a good time We're all happy, this hasn't been hostile

We're having a good time, we've got a show No show for you But that's okay, I'm sure it's coming You know, everything's Broden got AirPods. Broden got AirPods. Not AirPods. They're Jabra Elites.

Jabra Elites. See, I told you. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Broden, who was at the door? Netflix was at the door, right? No, it was a delivery of a scarf, if you must know. Okay. All right.

That's not an AirPods at all. It goes fucking us right now, man. Almost the opposite of AirPods. You fucked us, Broden. You fucked us hard there, bro. Why? We were telling them that Netflix- These fucking two-bit phonies.

That's the gift from Netflix is one scarf to share. It's a scarf my friend got for me. That's really sweet. Broden, you've got a chance to save this here because we look like a pack of phonies right now. I don't know what you want from me, Zach. Later today, Netflix, okay, you just got to listen here. Be careful with your answer, is going to deliver a package, Broden.

In that package, there will be something for you to keep. Broden, what is that something? Broden, there was an email this morning from Netflix. He was told to be careful and he's being so careful. There was an email this morning from Netflix. In the email, Broden, what did it say? It was a gift. Broden.

Broden, come on, man. There was an email from Netflix. We were both busy doing PR this morning We were on Sirius XM And you were on Australia's Equivalent of Mark Moran But we found the time Mark Moran

We found the time to read the email From Netflix It's backwards I'm not joking Netflix is calling now Netflix is calling me'm not joking. Netflix is calling now. Netflix is calling me. I have to go. Netflix is calling now.

Ask them what you're getting for free. The vowels go the opposite way down the drain. Just ask them now. Netflix is calling him now. So if that's not evidence enough that the AirPods, he has AirPods. Zach, Netflix is here. I have to go get the package from netflix you didn't say anything the the they just said i'm here on the other end don't bother speaking so this is actually really funny i actually have netflix here as well

do you hello netflix is here yeah hi Hayes this is Netflix okay Netflix that's so nice it's so great to see you so let me just tell you let me just tell you right now I did we did get the big airpods but we don't want them and we don't want a show and we'll never have your like

Netflix is calling me. I'm so sorry. Netflix is calling me. One moment. Hello? Hello there. Oh, hi, Netflix. Hey, did you get those AirPods we sent you? I haven't received them yet, but just out of curiosity, are they big AirPods or are they real AirPods?

They're real AirPods. I'm personal friends with Steve Jobs. Current gen or previous gen? Previous gen Steve Jobs. Current gen AirPods or previous gen? Previous gen Steve Jobs. Current gen AirPods or previous gen AirPods? No, no. No, not previous gen Steve Jobs. That one's alive.

The current gen Steve Jobs is dead. I'm talking about AirPods. Zach hung up. So for when we do that next time, Sean, muting your own yeah line on the zoom would have been better that's something we can learn from them because you were still coming in

very loud yeah on the zoom so if we do it again I mute my end of the zoom much louder and Kevin can maybe take care of that later but just like for the experience of hearing it was mostly just hearing you on the zoom and not so much on on my phone yeah it's it's funny actually i remember it's funny it's like it was so fun it's like some of the funniest shit oh you mean your thing yeah no my thing was really funny and it does

relate to your thing is scott um scott ockerman he actually said to us he's like i love how you mute the microphone when you do your fake calls to each other for your big part of what got us the netflix series so that's it yeah yeah he likes that stuff but i wouldn't say that to him because he'd be pissed so that's what it is and pissed there means something completely different huh it Well, things are different. You know, things are different. Things are different. Things are completely different.

And your friend is gone, huh? He just left. He's fucked off. But isn't that the baddest thing you could do? To just leave? To just leave? It's bad manners, yeah. Yeah. What's more bad than being rude he came back broden broden broden broden we need to broden broden broden broden

broden please broden broden can you hear us broden can you hear us? Broden, can you hear us? Broden, I think your mic's on mute, Broden He's looking Oh He drew something, it's hard to see Oh, look at that Isn't that interesting? What Broden's holding in his hands right now Is the previous generation

AirPods Wow Previous gen I'm a little pissed He went and he did And he does have some AirPods And he has some AirPods And I've got to be I'm going to be honest. And he does have some AirPods. And he has some AirPods. And I've got to be honest with you.

I'm a little bit pissed because are they sending Claire Foy, previous generation? That's my question. Don't worry about the gen. Don't worry about the gen. Are they sending the Nola Holmes, the previous generation of AirPods? That's my question to you, Mark. Just be happy that they're there.

There's a win here, Zach. Are they sending chef and his friend from the taco truck are they sending them previous gen i don't know man i don't know did you do you guys get to have you met uh did you get to meet in over homes yeah yeah. So they have a party. She was pitching the show when we were filming. We went in, we met her. She had a Danish. Was she clever in real life? She got my number quick. I'd never seen anyone get my number that quick.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She figured me out. Look at his splits. It was unbelievable. I was like. She got my number as a turn of phrase saying she worked you out. She figured me out. Look at his splits. It was unbelievable. I was like- I got my number as a turn of phrase saying she worked you out. She worked me out. And I went, Enola Holmes, any relation to Sherlock? Like half joking. And she went, yes. And I went, that makes sense. That makes sense. That's how she figured me out.

Amazing. Wow. So I was there at the pre-pitch party. They had a spread of danishes for us, and I ate all the blueberry danishes, and she came in. The pre-pitch party. So it's a pre-pitch party. It's a Netflix thing.

It's a Netflix thing. Wow. And someone was like, who ate all the blueberry danishes? And everyone couldn't work it out, and Enola Holmes was like, well, it's very interesting because there's a shoe print in front of the blueberry danishes and that shoe is like a- Sorry, what's the floor like? It's a dirt.

It's a dirt floor. Okay, so you can really see the shoe print. Yep. Yeah, they're expanding so quick over at Netflix that they don't have time for floors. There's just a lot of the pre-pitch parties happen in a field, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they've got like tech whizzes. That's the difference with other sort of studios

is they don't need the floor space for tech. So they're just, they're like putting up buildings. Sorry I asked. Really rapid, right? Sorry I asked. So yeah, so she noticed the shoe print. She also noticed the crumbs on my top. And she said, it's very interesting because you've got crumbs on your top.

And because of the crumbs on my top and the sort of shoe print, she was able to devise that I was the one that ate the blueberries. And I was blown away. I was really thrown by that. And then she had to take a call. I think Drake called her. I think she's friends with Drake. And she was like, I'm just, I got to talk to Drake.

I'm having some relationship problems. So I'm just going to talk it out for my friend Drake. I was like, oh, that's weird. It was strange. It was very strange. We have to, like, we really and and sean is just like sitting quietly and waiting for people to very politely honestly waiting for people to acknowledge his new zoom name new name i don't want to wrap up before that we we do have that taken care of

so does someone want to say what it is? I'll leave this up to Mr. Bad. Mr. Bad is the one who likes it. He hasn't been speaking for a really long time. Mr. Bad is refusing to speak right now. Mr. Bad is so bad. Something about the process of getting that AirPod box at least. It took a lot out of him.

From Netflix. The free AirPods from Netflix. Call them what they are. free airpods from netflix yes something about that go on go on and uh like something in that process has stopped him from being able to contribute to this episode in any way it kicked his ass yeah it would take getting those airpods really just beat his whole ass because he's been just a soggy rag ever since he got back. Okay, so, you know, I'm a comedian as well. I'm a comedic performer.

Okay, okay. So I feel like if we're going to wrap this up, I thought instead of just sort of doing just saying the name, I thought wouldn't it be fun to talk about do it as an impersonation. I love the build up, you know what I mean? Like every house you live in has this huge front porch and it's just such an amazing way to. Yes.

It's a big drive Introduce a comedy bit And I just have to say Like I really admire that Well it's not a comedy bit Well it is a comedy bit I'm going to impersonate I'm going to give you a list

Of some of my favourite artists Wow And when I give you that list Of my favourite artists You can choose any one of them Okay Okay So

Maybe out of Maybe maybe frida carlo okay and you're looking at something uh well i'm just thinking i am just processing which of the many artists in my head i could go with maybe we could um go with claude monet. Monet? So every time you think you're looking and reading. Why? Okay, there's a lot of assumptions happening here, and I think Enola Holmes would have to pull you back there and say you're making a lot of assumptions there. Are you seeing me read right now?

Yeah. Or are you seeing me just look to the side, have a think, and say, well, maybe I could impersonate Leonardo da Vinci? So that's who we were talking about at the beginning. It says Crumtop. That's his name. It says Crumtop. Yeah, that's the name.

It's okay. And that connects to who we were talking about earlier, which was Beautiful Lisa. And that is the callback. And so to Auntie Dada, I say thank you for being here. We hit it. And to the audience, I say bye. Hollywood Handbook.

That was a HeadGum Podcast.
