Overview

This special "Bonus Bang" episode highlights some of the most beloved bits from Comedy Bang Bang, featuring comedian/performer Natalie Palamides at the top of the show and the full Big Grande crew (Drew Tarver, Ryan Rosenberg, Dan Lippert, Jon Mackey) in a marathon of men’s wellness start-up parody and sports legend character bits. The tone is loose, absurd, and full of classic CBB riffing, with meta-jokes about the show's structure, “written-in” cursing, and over-the-top product pitches.

[04:16 – 22:42]

About “Nate: A One Man Show”

• “Nate” follows a macho but sensitive character navigating heartbreak and masculinity in the post-MeToo era ([10:59-11:38]).

• The show originated at the Edinburgh Fringe, winning the Total Theatre Award for innovation (shared with Pussy Riot) ([13:21]).
• Notable exchange:
  • Natalie: "It involves a lot of audience interaction. Very absurd. Low brow humor." ([11:56])
  • Scott: "And a lot of eyebrow. A lot of eyebrow and chest hair and leg hair." ([12:05])

Behind the Scenes: Filming for Netflix

• They discuss the logistics of filming the special at the LA Theatre Center (LATC), with mics taped to Natalie’s chest for the recording ([14:50-15:10]).

[31:06 – 54:04]

Introduction to "Bold" – A Men’s Wellness Company

• Lampooning men’s wellness trends, their company “Bold” offers intentionally ludicrous products ([32:19-33:48]).

Absurd Product Pitches

• Germicidal Boxer Briefs: Underwear that kills germs by making them “suicidal” ([35:07-36:02]).
• Fresh Undies: Disposable, thin, gray underwear “not necessarily clean, but...fresh” ([37:09-38:06]).
• Delightful Rifle: A gun whose “barrel is made of Propecia;” users “take a bite off the end” for hair loss ([39:03-39:53]).
• Ladder Heels: Heeled shoes so men’s calves and glutes “pop” while working on ladders ([41:31-42:14]).
• Pocket Poop: A bag/funnel system for “dumping your crap” without leaving your chair ([44:22-44:45]).

• Coccusin’ Moccasin: Moccasins infused with erectile dysfunction medication, absorbed through the feet ([50:40-51:43]).
• Small Condoms (with a twist): Honest branding, rejecting Scott’s “Wink” box proposal ([52:02-52:49]).
• Pricing pitch: $1,000 for the entire (one-page, double-sided) Bold catalog ([48:01], [53:10]).

Memorable Quotes

• Mike: "As a man, we realize that humor is a big part of our life. We're raised to laugh it off." ([38:17-38:28])
• Jeff: "The harder you work, the harder you squirt. And excuse me for saying that." ([42:50-42:55])
• Scott: “Seems like you guys are laughing at the idea of your products a lot. If you’re going to be pitching...you have to find these less funny.” ([38:06-38:17])

---

3. Enter Bill Walton & Wade Boggs (Dan Lippert & Jon Mackey)

[58:12 – 84:08]

Sports Legends Meet Entrepreneurs

• In-character appearances by Bill Walton (Dan Lippert) and Wade Boggs (Jon Mackey).
• Bill Walton gives trademark bombast and non-sequiturs; Wade Boggs is reticent, then reveals he’s there to pitch his own men’s wellness company, “Strike Through” ([59:14-64:43]).
• A competitive, meta-parody of endless men’s product pitches ensues.

Wade's Product: "Stink-Flavored Body Wash"

• Body wash “that makes you smell as though you’ve worked all day in any field you’d like”—landscaping, sous chef, carpenter, baseball player, etc. ([65:41-66:29]).
• Gentle ribbing about overlap and possible joke-sharing between Bold and Strike Through ([66:41-67:22]).

Bill’s Family Bubble & Health Comedy

• Bill discusses life in a Covid “father-son basketball bubble” with his son, Luke Walton—as a riff on pandemic living ([68:31-71:01]).
• Running bits: “public aneurysm,” eating pints of Cherry Garcia, classic Walton riffing ([77:49-80:12]).

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Natalie (on being half-Italian): “Which half? Upper, lower, middle? ...My mom says I got no neck, and that's because of my dad's Italian heritage.” ([20:53–21:07])
• Jeff (excusing himself): “Excuse me for saying ass in the pitch, but that's written in there." ([33:29])
• Scott (on product value): "Pretty cheap for everything in a catalog. I can't imagine any other catalog where $1,000 would buy every single thing in it.” ([48:12])
• Bill Walton (in classic style): "From Alan Dershowitz to Johnny Cochran to Scott Aukerman... Three of the greatest and most similar men I've ever met and three of the biggest fans of O.J. Simpson I've ever talked to." ([69:31])
• Mike (plug segment): “I just really want to plug yellow mustard. I think yellow mustard needs to be used more often.” ([83:05])

Episode Highlights

• Distinctive Natalie Banter: The opening segment with Natalie deftly balances sincere interview with CBB absurdity, including a “sound tech” character bit and honest discussion of her Netflix special.
• Men’s Wellness Product Satire: “Bold” is a perfect send-up of male-targeted branding—multiple ludicrous inventions pitched in a deadpan, pseudo-sincere startup tone, riddled with meta-commentary about pitch structure and “written-in” swearing.
• Character Cross-Talk: As Bill Walton and Wade Boggs arrive, the lines between straight interview and deep absurdity blur completely, with Walton peppering the show with bombastic riffs and both athletes jumping into the wellness product parody.
• Meta Jokes & Bit Layering: Frequent callbacks to written scripts, cursing policy, pitch failings, and family “bubbles.”

Bang Bang.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, arc of the moral universe, while you're bending towards justice, how about picking up some cigarette butts? Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Carkle Cocoon. Carkle Cocoon for that wonderful catchphrase submission. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition and special last day of Navi Doggy Edition. We hardly ever get to do a special last day of Navi Doggy Edition on this show. It comes around every, if I had to guess, five years or so. And we are lucky that it has happened today. Welcome to the show. My name is Scott Aukerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. I have been the host for lo these many 11 years and I will be the host for who knows how much longer. It could be another 11 years. It could be 11 days. Who knows? But you know, who knows what's going on in this life? And that is a great Segue to lead us into talking about who's on the show today. Because who knows what's going on on this show? I do. And so I will tell you. We have. Coming up a little later, we have a couple of entrepreneurs. This is a treat.

[Bill Walton]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

People who are starting or who have started their own business. We will talk to them about whatever that business is. And speaking of business, these people are in the business of sports and business is good. We will have a couple of sports figures coming up a little later. And before we get to them, we have an entertainer. An entertainer. She is a writer. She is an actress. She is a voiceover artist. She is in commercials. I think people, especially during this pandemic, people have gotten to know her work from those endless progressive commercials that she stars in that you see every break. It seems like she's on the zoom doing one of Stephanie Courtney's progressive friends. And she is on a zoom with us right now. Why don't you please welcome her? She has a comedy special out tomorrow, December 1st called Nate. It's very funny. I've seen it. Please welcome Natalie Palamides. Hello.

[Natalie Palamides]

Hey, what's up, Scott? Thanks for having me.

[Scott Aukerman]

The most distinctive voice in show business.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, thanks for saying at least it's good for that reason, I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think your voice is bad for other reasons or.

[Natalie Palamides]

Well, you know, it gets bad reviews sometimes. People are like, ugh, who's reviewing voices?

[Scott Aukerman]

What's rotten Tomatoes for voices?

[Natalie Palamides]

Twitter, I guess. You know, I get some replies, people saying like, your voice is so annoying. You come on my Hulu every frickin five minutes. I'm like, dude, don't hate me because you hate me. You know what I'm saying?

[Scott Aukerman]

I've always said, don't hate the player, hate the. And I forget how the rest of it goes.

[Natalie Palamides]

Me too.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I've always said it. And you do have. I think it's wonderful to have a distinctive, unique voice because as you have proved, it can get you work in various types of field. I'm running out of steam on this sentence. I mean.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what I'm trying to say, though? It gets you gigs.

[Natalie Palamides]

It gets you different gigs. If you know how to work it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Natalie Palamides]

If you know how to. If you know how to swing your weird thing that you got.

[Scott Aukerman]

Exactly. You lean into it. Whatever your weird thing is. Lean into it. Yes.

[Natalie Palamides]

You have to lean into it. I could have gone the other way. You know, people could have been telling me, you know, your voice is annoying. And then I Could have just shut up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure. Or you could have tried to change it. Like, if you had to. Was there ever a point in your life where you were like, I gotta fix this. I gotta change my voice? And you started trying to talk differently?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah. My freaking theater teacher in college, she was like, you're resonating in your navel cavity and we need to bring that down. So throughout college, I tried to bring my voice down here and speak not in my navel cavity, but I was doing a voice, which was so odd because it sound like I'm doing a voice. But, you know, in theater schools, they try to beat it out of you. Especially you're doing Stanislavski or something. You have to be a neutral.

[Scott Aukerman]

They try to make you more generic. But it does always interest me, the people like you or Maria Bamford who have such unique voices, but you can talk in a more normal voice, but it's just not the way you naturally talk. You know what I mean?

[Natalie Palamides]

It's just not. I don't know how it happened. I don't know when you know, because, you know, growing up through grade school, none of my friends who. Who knew me from first grade were commenting on me having a weird voice or anything.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was it high when you were younger and then got a little more. I guess the only way to say it is low.

[Natalie Palamides]

I don't remember. What I do remember is kind of had a little bit of a lateral lift because I had this hearse. Hersp. A hearse in my mouth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that a hearse in your mouth?

[Natalie Palamides]

A hearse, I think it's called, like, these two metal bars. They put, like, two big bolts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, I saw that in a Marilyn Manson video.

[Natalie Palamides]

Exactly. Yeah. So they put those on third and fourth graders to pull their jaw forward and sometimes rock and rollers and. Yeah, so I had a lateral lisp from that jaw contraption. And yeah. Have just always spoken with a kind of a nasally quality, I suppose.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it really suits you and it has worked for you. Well. And it is working for you even better than. Well, excellently, I would say, in your new special, Nate, which is coming to Netflix.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah. Scott, how insane is that?

[Scott Aukerman]

Dude, it's so crazy. I saw kind of a version of this a few years back and was blown away. That's maybe the first time I ever saw you perform.

[Natalie Palamides]

Wow. Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, yeah. And was blown away by it. Thought it was really, really funny. And then when I heard they were filming it, I was like, ye. Yes, Cameras.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, cameras always make things Better when they get involved, they record stuff permanently. Can't take any mistakes back that you do. They keep you accountable.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, of course. Tell us about the special. It's really unique and very funny, but also unlike probably any other comedy special that's out there. Give us a little headline of it. What would you say about it?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, well, I would say Nate, it's now called Nate. A one man show follows this macho douchebag with a heart of gold. That's how I describe Nate as he goes through a breakup, a recent heartbreak, and tries to find love in this new era. Post me too era, I guess. So the show explores toxic masculinity and just masculinity and.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure. Toxic and non toxic. You can be non toxic and masculine, I hope.

[Natalie Palamides]

I hope so too. Yeah. For all you fellows out there, I think it's possible. And the gray area of consent as well. It explores, but it involves a lot of audience interaction. Very absurd. Low brow humor.

[Scott Aukerman]

Low brow humor. And a lot of eyebrow. A lot of eyebrow and chest hair and leg hair.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yes, a lot of low brow humor. Eyebrow humor, chest brow humor and everything in between.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you play Nate. You play the titular Nate.

[Natalie Palamides]

The titular Nate.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. And you are in character. I don't want to give away anything, but pretty much the entire time.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, yeah, you can say. I mean, it's me dressed in drag, doing a drag character as a dude. Oh, you mean you don't want to give like the.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, the twists and turns. I mean, the plot goes different places and I wasn't gonna say that you play other things.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Oh, yeah.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, thank you so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's not really a compliment. I'm not quite sure why you're thinking.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, no, I was just. Thank you for being so thoughtful as to not want to give anything away.

[Scott Aukerman]

I see. Well, I just did, unfortunately, because you backed me into a corner and so now people know that you play other things, but he.

[Natalie Palamides]

That's all right. Well, you know, spoiler. I play a little late.

[Scott Aukerman]

Little late for that, unfortunately. But retroactive spoiler, certainly. But this is a one woman or a one man show that you took to the Edinburgh Festival and you won a prize, didn't you?

[Natalie Palamides]

I did. I won the Total Theater Award for innovation. And I actually, I shared that award that year with Pussy Riot, the Russian female punk band. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Amazing. So do you have to travel to Russia to give them the award every six months or how does that work?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, we pass it back and forth. The mail's been slow lately, so yeah, we've grown accustomed to holding onto it for a bit longer. They've flown over here one time in person to pass it back to me. I'm taking a trip after. You know, after the regulations. Ease up a little bit on Covid. I'm gonna go pass it back.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you performed this show? I saw it over at the Lyric.

[Natalie Palamides]

Lyric Hyperion.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Lyric Hyperion. And where exactly did you film it? Did you film it there as well? No.

[Natalie Palamides]

So I filmed it in a much larger space. Wanted to shoot it at the Lyric, but it was just too small for me. Any amount of cameras to be in there.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what she said.

[Natalie Palamides]

That's what she said.

[Scott Aukerman]

Does that work?

[Natalie Palamides]

Sort of. Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right.

[Natalie Palamides]

But maybe she's.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'll put that in the W column there.

[Natalie Palamides]

What is. I think she would say that there's enough room for many cameras in there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I understand. Okay, that's. We're amending what she said.

[Natalie Palamides]

Sure, sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

So where you. Did you film it here in LA or.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yes, the Los Angeles theater center, downtown.

[Scott Aukerman]

LATC.

[Natalie Palamides]

LATC, buddy. 300 seats.

[Bill Walton]

Wow.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah. Much larger room than I'm used to playing. And I had to, you know, I'm not mic'd. I'm wearing mics in the special. They're, like, taped on to my chest.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Oh.

[Scott Aukerman]

I didn't even notice them.

[Natalie Palamides]

Thanks for saying. Yeah, I appreciate that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Again, not a compliment. It's just merely a thing that I.

[Natalie Palamides]

You're just so thrilled. It's not even a. I just wanna encourage it, but, yeah, I'm glad you didn't notice them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although if I did notice them, who cares, right?

[Natalie Palamides]

Who cares?

[Scott Aukerman]

I look at it, I go, oh, Mike.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, that amplifies her voice. And then I move on. You know, it's like, who gives a shit?

[Natalie Palamides]

It didn't even amplify it. I was projecting in the room. So that was just for camera. So I feel like it was for.

[Scott Aukerman]

Meaning it was so people would notice them.

[Natalie Palamides]

Well, no, it was just so to get the sound for the filmed footage. But I didn't have anything to project in the room, if that makes sense.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm very confused on this. You know what? I should be interviewing the sound person on this.

[Natalie Palamides]

Do you remember who that person is?

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe I could call him up. Oh, yeah. Hi.

[Natalie Palamides]

Hello. Hi.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hi. What's your name?

[Natalie Palamides]

I'd rather not say.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, I could just look it up on IMDb. I mean, you're probably credited in the actual special, aren't you?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah. No, I am. It's Alex.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, hi, Alex. Is that Alex short for anything? Like Alexander or Alexis?

[Natalie Palamides]

Alexis, yeah, Alexis.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay, great. Well, so tell me about the sound on this.

[Bill Walton]

What?

[Natalie Palamides]

Exactly. So, yeah, so we hooked up the mics to Nat, but the sound that was going through those mics was connected directly to the camera. So the sound was going into the camera, not into the room of the theater. So it was recording it for the footage, but it was not projected over any sort of speakers into the stage

[Scott Aukerman]

area, if that makes sense. No, it does make sense. It's actually. Yeah, I understand. When you film something, you put mics on the people, right? It's like when you film a movie, you know? Like everyone in the movie isn't walking around with handheld mics all the time. You know? They're not projecting their voice. Oh, God. All right, Alexis, Alex, we've had about enough out of you.

[Natalie Palamides]

Thank you so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it's wonderful to have you on the show, though. I don't know that I've ever had a sound person on the show.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, well, you know, maybe you need to have more. Clearly, you're lacking a little bit of knowledge there.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think I'm lacking anything. I, in fact, think that I already had the knowledge. I don't agree. I disagree to agree to disagree.

[Natalie Palamides]

Well, I disagree with your disagreeing to agree. Damn it.

[Scott Aukerman]

You got me. Shit. All right, well, Alex, have a good. Hey. See you never.

[Natalie Palamides]

Peace, bitch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Wow, Natalie.

[Natalie Palamides]

A little spicy there.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know why you would bring that person on the show. I mean, I appreciate the clarification of what you were trying to say, but if you had just kind of expressed it a little more clearly, we wouldn't have had to go through that.

[Natalie Palamides]

I'm sorry. He was so rude. And thanks for understanding.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

I thought it was a she.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought it was. Oh, Alexis. As in like a Russian Alexis or.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, let me ask.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, please don't bring Alexis.

[Natalie Palamides]

Alex. Okay. Okay. No, yeah, he's gone, actually. Oh, yeah, I see.

[Scott Aukerman]

Where'd he go off to? Are you quarantining with him? What is going on?

[Natalie Palamides]

Um, I don't know. He just kind of like. I didn't expect to see him here. He just surprised me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you didn't, like, let out a scream or. You were pretty chill about the entire thing?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, I'm used to people popping in and out of my place. I don't lock the door. Hmm.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why not?

[Natalie Palamides]

And that's true, I should lock it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a true Statement. I don't think that you want that to come out over the airways that

[Natalie Palamides]

you don't lock your door. Yeah, I don't want anybody to know that.

[Scott Aukerman]

You especially don't want to say your address right now.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, no, I definitely don't. It is not 13 Silver Lake, California, 90027. That's actually an old address. That's an old address.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. That's an old address that you didn't leave locked there either. And maybe the new owner doesn't leave it locked either. Yeah, we're gonna have to bleep that entire thing out because we don't want to send weirdos to your old address either.

[Natalie Palamides]

No, I certainly don't. Yeah. Even though my old neighbor there kind of sucked. We won't get into that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, we don't want to talk about neighbors. We've had previous guests get into trouble for talking about their actual neighbors.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, really? Oh, really?

[Scott Aukerman]

So you did this show. This is the culmination. Filming it and having it be on Netflix is the culmination of a long journey with this show.

[Natalie Palamides]

Sure is. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you have another show coming up? Do you have anything in the. I mean, let's celebrate the fact that this one is out. But. But we always are looking into the future, aren't we?

[Natalie Palamides]

Sure, yeah. I mean, you know, right now, in quarantine, it's kind of hard to develop any kind of new material because the theaters aren't open. But I've just been. Actually recently did a show with my friend. You know her. Courtney Peroso. Her. And I created these two Italian guys, ziti and rigatoni paloroso.

[Scott Aukerman]

And we've had a rash of Italian people on this show recently.

[Natalie Palamides]

Have you?

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know why. It's very weird.

[Natalie Palamides]

They're coming out of the woodwork because their first lady is now in the White House.

[Scott Aukerman]

Probably Italian Americans. I think it's one of the last accents you can actually do without being offensive.

[Natalie Palamides]

I think that's why people are really leaning into it pretty hard. You can call people meatballs, and nobody takes it one way or the other. And I can say that because I'm halfway.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, which half? Upper lower middle. Right in the middle. Really? So, like, from the neck down and the knees up, huh?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, certainly. I mean, my mom says I got no neck, and that's because of my dad's Italian heritage.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm so sorry that your mom talks to you that way.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, well, she talks to me many different ways, but that's one of them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, well, we'll be on the lookout for that. And please come back whenever that's ready. And has been filmed and is premiering the very next day. But we have Nate is the special that I want everyone to watch because it's very funny. And let's give it the old CBB bump here, the cbbb.

[Natalie Palamides]

Thank you for bumping it, Scott. I really appreciate it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bump that shit. I want people to watch it. It's a great introduction into what you do. And once you see it, you will never be confused about what Natalie does again.

[Natalie Palamides]

Thank you. Yes, it is kind of confusing, isn't it? I don't think I ever actually said what it is. I do.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that's why it is interesting because I talk to people on the show before people watch their thing. And so a lot of what we do on this show is trying to elucidate and trying to like, communicate to the listener what exactly is happening. But I don't want to give away anything. Yeah, but the show is insane and you should just watch it.

[Natalie Palamides]

Right on. Thanks, Scott. I appreciate it. I was gonna say just one quick thing.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Sure.

[Natalie Palamides]

Maybe I shouldn't say my tits are out the whole time and just wanna say if people just watch it for that reason, that's fine with me.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you're leaning into that. You're trying to get people to like, hey, look, if you're some weird perv and you wanna see those for reasons that are perhaps prurient in nature, then, hey, you're fine with it.

[Natalie Palamides]

All viewership is welcome.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, very good. All right, well, Nate is the special. It's out on Netflix starting tomorrow or probably by now. If you're listening to this at any point in the future, we need to take a break. But when we come back, we will have. This is exciting. The entrepreneurs. Natalie, have you ever wanted to be an entrepreneur?

[Natalie Palamides]

I did actually work for a security guard firm.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really? Which one?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, it was called. Oh, fuck Something. They do a bunch of events. I'll think about it.

[Scott Aukerman]

But what was your job in it? Because you are. I don't like to comment on people's physical appearance necessarily, but I wouldn't say you're the most imposing person I've ever met.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, it was called Staff Pro. And I guarded the USC campus like I was stand at the front of dorms while people came in and checked their thumbprints and stuff. I also did like the CNN Heroes Awards or I would watch over film equipment at night to make sure it

[Scott Aukerman]

didn't commit any crimes or you had

[Natalie Palamides]

to make sure nothing was stolen. The LA auto show was a big one. You know, you scam people as they come in with a little wand to make sure they don't have a gun or a knife or anything. But the thing about bringing illegal stuff into places with metal detectors and these security guards that check. I know now that probably so much stuff is getting into these places because I was one of those people who had to check. And I mean, there was so many pockets, I couldn't get through all the pockets. I would be holding up the line anyways.

[Scott Aukerman]

So if you want to give someone advice of how to get through a metal detector without being your weapons being taken, the advice you would give is put it in your fifth pocket.

[Natalie Palamides]

Also maybe just do something where you kind of like look around and then you touch your chest or something and say, ah, my pacemaker must be that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, really? So if anyone had the pacemaker excuse.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, I would just.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's part of hipaa. You can't ask someone about it.

[Natalie Palamides]

You can't. HIPAA law.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it is the law that we have to take a break. We need to go to commercial right now. But when we come back, we will have the entrepreneurs. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Summer, Summer. Summer time. Yeah, summer. We love it, right?

You know, I mean, who cares about those people? I'm playing the long game.

[Natalie Palamides]

They can set an alert. They can set a reminder for when it comes out.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Natalie Palamides]

How's that?

[Scott Aukerman]

Comes out tomorrow, December 1st. Perfect for Christmas viewing as well. Gather the family round. If you are with your family, which we don't necessarily suggest you do, but if you happen to be there with your family there in your own household, I would say Christmas morning at 10:00am is a great time to watch this.

[Natalie Palamides]

100% agreed.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, we do need to get to our next guests. They are entrepreneurs and this is a treat to have people of this profession on the show. I wonder if they have employees. If they give those employees insurance, all sorts of questions to ask these guys. They are entrepreneurs. Please welcome Jeff and Mike.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Hey, Scott.

[Unidentified Announcer]

Hey.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, thank you, Scott.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Thanks so much for having us.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it's our ple. I'm including you, Natalie, in this. It's our pleasure.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, hi. Yes, it is our pleasure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, we share the pleasure. Much like Natalie shared her award with Pussy Riot. Of course.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Consider me to be the pussy Riot of comedy. Bang, bang.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Okay, okay. Well, the pleasure. The pleasure is ours. The pleasure is ours. And I know what that means.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I would say the pleasure is ours, actually, because it's.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, let's not fight over the pleasure.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what she said.

[Natalie Palamides]

Let's not fight over it.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Let's not fight over the pleasure. But the pleasure is ours. And Mike and I are very happy to be here.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. Thanks, Jeff. We're really stoked. We have a lot of great products we want to talk about. We have a lot on the docket.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so you're entrepreneurs who sell many different things or you have one company or what?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, Scott, we're here to promote our men's wellness company, Bold.

[Bill Walton]

Bold.

[Scott Aukerman]

B O L, D. Is that what it is?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

B O, L, D. You spelled it right, Scott. Absolutely.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

And you nailed the spelling, Scott. You nailed it. Dispelling.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, and this is based out of where? The south somewhere or where exactly is your business?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

It's the Mid South. It's the Mid South. It's a new district. It's kind of like the Midwest, but at the bottom.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

It's at the bottom. It's just like the Midwest, but it's down and to the right on a map.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

I see.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, wonderful. Well, let's talk about these products. What do you got? I mean, maybe Natalie and I are in the market for some of these. Natalie is not necessarily probably in the market for men's wellness, but maybe something would appear.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, you know, we're not going to discriminate. Anyone can have, you know, But Mike and I notice that, you know, there are so many wellness companies out there geared for women, you know, but us men, we care about our well being too.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, let's run it down. We got, we got goop.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Goop.

[Scott Aukerman]

The rest.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

The rest, yeah.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

All of us.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Sephora.

[Scott Aukerman]

So Sephora is a makeup line. What's the one you just had? Ulta.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Ulta?

[Scott Aukerman]

What is Ulta?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

It's kind of like Sephora, but cheap.

[Unidentified Announcer]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, it's cheap Ass. Sephora. Excuse me for saying ass in the pitch, but that's written in there.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Hey, this is bold. Okay?

[Scott Aukerman]

It's written in there, but you want, you want to be excused for it, like it was a mistake.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse me. And this is written into the pitch. Excuse me for saying the word ass.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, well, if it's written, I don't care.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I'll tell you what, I'm looking at the rest of some of this. You're going to have to excuse us

[Scott Aukerman]

a few more times.

[Bill Walton]

I don't want to.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We will let you know when to excuse us because it's written in the pitch, okay?

[Scott Aukerman]

So if you ever curse but it's not written into the pitch, what do you say?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Then we keep rolling. Don't say a word.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, but every time it is written in, you ask to be excused. Okay?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, please.

[Unidentified Announcer]

Got it.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Every time we catch a curse word in our pitch, we ask for you to excuse us.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay? And that is written in there. All right. Very good to know. All right.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes. Well, you know women, they have all these creams and. And serums and lotions and. What do us men have?

[Scott Aukerman]

Barbecue.

[Natalie Palamides]

What do we get?

[Scott Aukerman]

I joke, but we have creams and lotions and stuff like that.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, barbecue.

[Scott Aukerman]

Not as many.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We have barbecue sauce. We have fries.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Honey butter.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We have honey butter. We have honey butter is. And I'm so tired of only being offered honey butter when I really care about my appearance.

[Natalie Palamides]

That's right.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

So we want you to try out a couple of our products, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, great. Yeah, I would love to. Yeah.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

And first up, we have our germicidal boxer briefs. Now, these are underwear made of a patented antibacterial cotton that helps keep you fresh down there, you know? Okay. How do they.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I've always wondered this because I've heard about antibacterial and antimicrobial clothing, and why don't they make everything with antibacterial things like tables, chairs, all clothes? You know what I mean? Like, if something can be antibacterial, make everything in the world out of it because no one likes bacteria.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

That makes sense. But this stuff is really expensive, Scott, So you can't just make a chair out of antimicrobial fabric.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought it was antibacterial.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, ours is actually germicidal.

[Scott Aukerman]

What does that. What is germicidal? I've heard of homicidal.

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Have you heard of suicide and homicide?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, of course. One is the killing of oneself. One is the killing of another person.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

So with social media these days, a lot of people don't know, but germs are very mentally unhealthy, so they're very suicidal. So if you have germicidal boxer briefs, they'll go ahead and kill themselves.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, good to know. All right, so these are anti bacterial.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, boxer briefs. So from the people who were roommates with the meundies people, we bring you our germicidal boxer briefs. And they also, Scott, they have a patented shit yourself technology. So when you Take a big overnight oats in your pants. There's a convenient flap for easy cleanup before you head out to the fight with the guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wait, wait, wait. So there's a flap for cleanup? Why not a flap so it doesn't get in your underwear?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, because as a guy, you can't always help that, Scott. You know, you're a guy. You're getting ready for the fight, you're having your pre game nachos, you're having your. Your pregame beers, and sometimes you're going to let one go. So you're going to need a flap to clean up.

[Scott Aukerman]

So why not just take off the entire underwear and clean that and put on a new pair?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's a great question. And for that we have fresh undies. That's another one of our products.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is what? Undies?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. Scott, do you ever eat so much honey butter you make a slushie?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, we have fresh.

[Wade Boggs]

Say that.

[Scott Aukerman]

I do.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Fresh undies are not quite full undies. They're more thin undies that come in a pack of five that you can just keep in your backpack.

[Natalie Palamides]

Mike, I have a question.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah? A question from Natalie.

[Natalie Palamides]

Do you guys have a probiotic undies line since you're inspired by wellness?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, we actually. We have a line of conbiotics coming out. And these really mess your gut up.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. The fresh undies are edible and they are conbiotics. If you eat them, they will mess up your tummy.

[Natalie Palamides]

Okay, got it.

[Scott Aukerman]

So the regular undies come in packs of what, three, I would imagine. But these are thinner. And so they come in packs of five.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yes. Yeah.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Fresh undies. Fresh undies are different than clean undies.

[Scott Aukerman]

They're not identical. Pair that are clean. These are a little bit thinner.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, these are recycled. So they're gray. They're gray.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

These are not necessarily clean, but they are fresh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seems like you guys are laughing at the idea of your products a lot. What is this is part of if you guys are gonna be pitching these around, you have to find these less funny. You have to be a little more committed to them.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, I think as men, we realize that humor is a big part of our life. Right. We're raised to be funny. We're raised to not have feelings. We're raised to laugh it off, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

So we're laughing it off. You know, sometimes our pitches don't go that well, so you gotta laugh it off rather than to get in a bad mood.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Expertly said. Are you a Philosopher.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Now, Scott, you're going to love this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I noticed you haven't cursed yet and you said there was a lot coming down the pike.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, don't worry, at the end of this, it gets filthy and nasty.

[Scott Aukerman]

So this is the blue version, this is the late night version. Okay.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah. We know we're not on national tv, so we're going to give you the goods later.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, Here we go.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Now, Scott, you're going to love. Now, what do we all wish our shotgun had? No, guys, it's not a scope. It's a hair loss medication.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, on your shotgun?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah. We would like to introduce the delightful rifle. Now, from the guys that brought you carrying around a handkerchief to blow your nose in, this fully automatic machine gun has a barrel made of 300 milligrams of Propecia. So when you're at the gun range, you can take a quick, quick bite off the end and not only keep the hair you have, but in your case, Scott, regrow 30% of the hair you've lost.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think I've lost any hair.

[Unidentified Announcer]

Wait.

[Scott Aukerman]

You bite the end of the shotgun,

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

you take a quick nibble. When you're feeling that hair go thin, take a quick nibble.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you're putting the business end of the shotgun into your mouth and biting down on it?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely. You take a rip of a Propecia pill, you say, God damn, that's good. Excuse me. And then you keep on firing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you. Okay, that's the first one.

[Unidentified Announcer]

Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Appreciate it.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Please excuse him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Some people wouldn't consider that to be a curse, but if you're religious, you certainly do.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although I don't know why religious people think that God damn is a curse. Because it's just asking God to damn something. I mean, that's kind of in the place.

[Bill Walton]

It's like praying.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, yeah, but you don't want to force God to do anything that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you're not saying like, hey, God, I force you to damn these people. You're. You're mere. It sounds like a request to me.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, if you say please. God damn it.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

And again. Excuse us.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse us.

[Scott Aukerman]

I had this. I had this guest on the show, Little Damn it Man once. He had a curse right there in his name.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

He did. I haven't seen that guy again.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, wait, you know who I'm talking about.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, I know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Little Damn it Man. What was his deal?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

I think his whole thing was his first word was damn it.

[Scott Aukerman]

The first word out of every sentence. He would Say, was that. What? There'll be more to that.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

His first word as a child was damn it, and then he lived with a bunch of otters in a tub.

[Natalie Palamides]

Okay. Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seems thin, but I don't know.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

No, it was fully flushed. Fleshed.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was probably fleshed, yeah. All right, continue. Do you have another product here?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, absolutely, Scott. You know, as men, we need to take care of ourselves. And we have feelings, too. We care about how we look, we care about how we're seen, sometimes by other men, sometimes by women. So, of course, say you're working on the house, you're getting sweaty, and you're getting up on a ladder, right?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yep.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

From the guys that brought you peep toe pumps. We have ladder heels. This way, you put on these heels and climb the ladder, and your glutes are looking pursed the whole time.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so this is to sort of.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

You got it, you know.

[Wade Boggs]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

You really think I got. Got it after just a couple of words?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

You know exactly what it is. Go ahead.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is to make sure everyone sees the definition in your calves a little more your calves.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

And to juice up your caboose. You know, you really want to be up and you're fixing the gutters. You're doing all this manly, manly work. But why should you have to wear a ratty old te. Why should you have to have a flat butt in some basketball shorts?

[Natalie Palamides]

You don't have to. You could wear something else whenever you want.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes. God, are you. Are you tired of being on the ladder and your glutes are not showing and popping?

[Scott Aukerman]

I gotta say, usually when I'm on the ladder, I'm either getting somewhere or I'm coming from someplace, and I don't like to spend a ton of time there.

[Natalie Palamides]

Aren't the heels gonna make it harder to do work?

[Scott Aukerman]

That is a great point. I mean, that's a great question.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely.

[Scott Aukerman]

And it does. And you agree, it does make it harder to do the work.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Of course. But you're happier to do it. It's gonna take longer, and you're gonna be on display for longer.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

And the harder you work, the harder you squirt. And excuse me for saying that.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse us. That is.

[Scott Aukerman]

That wasn't a curse necessarily. It's just a weird thing.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Lately, squirt has changed, and it's become a curse.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Everybody knows what you mean when you say the word squirt now. And so it's become a curse word.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Squirt is dirtier than at this point. And. Excuse me.

[Scott Aukerman]

So that was written.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, Scott, this is all Written, written, typed out and laminated.

[Scott Aukerman]

Laminated. Wow. You went the extra mile here.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We did.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, gosh.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, do you have another product?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

And, Scott, we. You know, we do. We're doing therapy. On motorcycles.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

What does that mean?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. Head on down to the Harley Davidson store and post up at the cafeteria and meet with licensed counselors.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought you were done. Boy, what a pause.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, I was supposed to come in there, but God damn it, I forgot. And excuse me again.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

So that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you wrote in that you were going to forget to interject.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I am a forgetful bastard. And again, you'll have to excuse my language.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We took a pitching class and they said we were too stiff, so we decided to ride out all of our exchanges down to the T. Okay, so

[Scott Aukerman]

this was to cure that.

[Bill Walton]

I see.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Exactly. And as you can tell, now we're seamless with our transitions.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Speaking of a cure, Scott, I noticed that you sit in a chair all day long. It looks like you can't get up and you can't go anywhere. Tell me you don't have to go.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've seen me for about 15 minutes at this point, and, yes, I've been sitting in the chair this entire time.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. The whole time. The whole time. So can you not get away from the game or your job to dump your crap? Well, from the guys who used to sell the MyPillow guy his drugs, we bring you the pocket poop. Just run the bag up your leg, shove the funnel in the hole and let her rip. Right there. In the stands or at your job, wherever you need to be.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, now this sounds like something I could use.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Especially with all the zooms that we're on these days. I mean, no one can see you below, chest high, I would say.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Scott, can I ask you an honest question, guy to guy?

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, yeah, I guess so. I mean, I've never been asked that before, but, yeah, I guess you could.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

How many times have you made in your seat? How many times? How many? How many times have you made in your seat in the last two weeks?

[Scott Aukerman]

Two weeks.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's what I'm wondering.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Scott, be honest.

[Scott Aukerman]

You could probably extend that for several decades. Zero times. Zero times.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Scott, do you know what it's like to smell so bad at work? You're not only fired, but you're asked to leave the state. That's why we came up with just aluminum from the guys who brought you. Loving the movie the Godfather. It's a New deodorant that just was banned by the State Department. It keeps you so dry you'll die. Here, try it.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, that sounds awful. Dying. I really would rather not. I mean, I can't see that this was ever approved by the fdaa.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Fdaa?

[Scott Aukerman]

Is this in the script? You're not cursing. I can't tell.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Does FDAA stand for Federal Drug Administration? Asshole. Excuse me?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

It's all written in. It's all written in there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did I add an extra A? Is that what it is? Food and Drug Administration. You're right. Okay. Fda. I apologize.

[Natalie Palamides]

I like the A better.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you know, I'm thinking of hipaa, which we were talking about. That has the extra A in it.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Here's my thing. When you're in the shower and you're in there and you're looking at everything and you're saying, none of this is for me. All of this is too frilly, too pink. What is a microbead? You know what I mean?

[Bill Walton]

Sure.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

So from the guys that bought you shower scum, we have the fatty Caddy. It's a shower caddy that goes in your shower, that takes up the whole wall, and it holds your barbecue sauce, your mustard, your soap, your tongs, your flipper. Okay. And it also holds your microdermabrasion skin rub.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Have you ever wanted to have your fully stocked fridge in the shower with you, Scott?

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, there may be some issues with temperature, but, yeah. This sounds like a dream.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely. Turn that thing all the way to the left and crank it on hot. Put some tater tots under the water, and you're cooking and cleaning at the same time, baby, this is amazing.

[Scott Aukerman]

I can't tell you how many times I've been in the shower and said, oh, I'm so hungry right now, but I'm dripping wet and I'm naked.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

And as a man, you want to eat tater tots. Let's be honest.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's be honest. How many times have you eaten naked in the last two weeks?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

In the last two weeks, 32.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Three meals a day. That's around 11 days of the last two weeks.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Every meal.

[Bill Walton]

Wow.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I eat mostly noodles.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We've been naked for the last two weeks preparing for this. Eating, eating, eating.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

How much weight have you put on, Jeff?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

I've put on nearly £12 in the last two weeks preparing for this pitch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you sell them separately, or is there some sort of subscription model?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

No, you have to buy these all at once.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

It's a $1,000 package for everything in the Bold catalog. And this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pretty cheap for everything in a catalog. I can't imagine any other catalog where $1,000 would buy every single thing in it.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, it's a short catalog, but there is a lot of good stuff.

[Scott Aukerman]

How short are we talking? What are we talking?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, it's a front and a back page. It's a single page, printed, double sided.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

But the products are crammed on there.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Oh, don't worry, the catalog's crammed.

[Scott Aukerman]

Got it. Got it. Well, any other products? Because last time I asked you this, you said, you know that we do. But now you're running out of so much steam that I think that you have.

[Wade Boggs]

Oh, my God.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

How could I forget? How could I forget the Road Toad? How could I forget?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Oh, my God. We almost forgot the Road toad as a man. Excuse me.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wait, so you put a fake forgetting of the Road toad into your script?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

We are just fucking idiots. Excuse me. Now, the Road Toad. Tell me you're a man. You're being made to go to work every day. And let me guess, your commute is terrible. Well, have you ever been stuck in traffic and really had to go and you had nowhere to go? Well, the Road Toad is a wonderful little thing that sits on your dash. You pull it down, sit on top of it and let it splash. And the best part is, it's a big toad. So when it's on your dash, nobody knows what it's for.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Scott, it's totally undetectable on the dash,

[Scott Aukerman]

except if the product becomes too famous and you have this dildo on your dashboard that everyone knows it's a dildo.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

It's not a dildo. It is like a cookie jar. It's like a cookie jar with the toad's mouth opened upward and you sit on top of it. And then what we're hoping is that they get so popular that everyone goes, hey, I see you got the Road Toad.

[Natalie Palamides]

But if you're a two pocket customer, why would you get the Road Toad? But they're essentially the same thing.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Scott Aukerman]

And do you have a good answer?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

No, we don't have answers for those. God damn it. Excuse me.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you knew someone was going to ask you this and you didn't write an answer?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We wrote in possible questions that we couldn't answer because that's a good pitch. So I've got another one that we've crammed onto the catalog that I'd love to tell you about.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I believe we have time for one more. And I'm Guessing this is your last one.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Shoot.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, do yours. Do yours.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We have two or three, so we're gonna cram them all in and don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

I said we have time for one more. Don't combine all three of these into one product.

[Wade Boggs]

No. Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

That would be cheating.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Now, Scott, you're gonna love this. It's a combination hou. Shoe. Erectile dysfunction medication.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

So from the guys who brought you white collar crime comes the Caucasus and moccasin. Slip these bad boys on anytime you need a little help in the bedroom, and you'll be espadrilling in no time. God damn it. Fuck. Excuse me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, we really pulled it out at the end with some of the clutch curse words there. I appreciate that.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Thank you.

[Natalie Palamides]

Is the coccusin moccasin one size fits all or.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, it's one big size.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, it should be big enough for anybody.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Because, you know, I mean, sometimes some other people, and I'm not saying this is me, but my, you know, something too big, you know, you'd be banging around the sides of it a little bit, you know, too much.

[Natalie Palamides]

Wait, I was imagining they go on your feet, and sometimes, somehow the juice gets into your bloodstream. From the soles of your feet.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

That's right. They go on your feet and the juice gets in your bloodstream. That's how it works.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm very confused on this product, I have to say.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I don't know, Scott, you were thinking this is more of a penis product, which, in that case, we do have. Made by the guys who brought you Trojans. Small condoms. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And these are just condoms. These are little condoms.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

They're little condoms that most guys need. Everybody's lying about the size they use. And these are small condoms. And you can finally be brave enough to just buy what you need.

[Scott Aukerman]

See, I'm gonna give you some advice. Here's a product idea. They're small condoms, but the box says extra large on them. But they're like, wink condoms. So, like, wink, hey, we know these aren't extra large, but so you can buy them. And everyone at the. You know, everyone in line at the grocery store is, like, very impressed. But when, you know, they say, wow, look at the size of these condoms, you kind of wink to the camera and you go, yeah, they're big, aren't they? See, this is a product.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Well, Scott, I think we're trying to be honest. You know, we're men, and we can wear small condoms, and that's okay.

[Natalie Palamides]

Okay?

[Scott Aukerman]

So just shutting me down. That's it.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yes.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Why don't you just learn how to let it splash in the road? Toad

[Scott Aukerman]

Sounds like an insult, but I don't know. All right, guys. Well, I can't say that I can afford the thousand dollars for every single one of your products, so I'm going to have to take a pass on these.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Okay, well, you could do two easy payments of $500.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're just splitting it up. I know how. Matthew, what about four payments of 250?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Is that we could do five of 200?

[Natalie Palamides]

Sure.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We can do 1,000 payments of $1

[Scott Aukerman]

that I might be interested in.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

How are they spaced apart all on one day?

[Scott Aukerman]

So one after the other every second or so?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, every second of one day. So it actually titles. It's a lot more than 1,000.

[Natalie Palamides]

Some interesting.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, Jeff and Mike, two entrepreneurs from. What was the name of your company again?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Bold.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bold. All right. Do you have a website?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yes, it's italics dot com.

[Scott Aukerman]

You couldn't get Bold, so you got the thing that's right next to it usually.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

That's right.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We moved on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, wonderful. All right, we need to take a break. Can you guys, you guys stick around because we have a couple of sports legends coming up. So that's very exciting.

Oh, interesting entrepreneurs. Wow. Everyone must be an entrepreneur on this planet. But it's streaming right now on Netflix. People can watch it. And we also have Jeff and Mike, two entrepreneurs. And during the break, you guys were huddled at the writing desk in your place and you were writing a new script. What was going on there?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We decided to cut some of the cuss words.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, you're revising. You're not writing new things.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, writing is rewriting, Scott. So, you know, we had to go through and see what didn't work. You. Some things we didn't get to. So we're. But we're excited.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're learning a lot.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Can we feel like absolute shit for earlier? Excuse me for doing it wrong.

[Scott Aukerman]

We cut some before and added some in this new section. I don't know. All right.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

We feel like dicks.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, we need to get to speaking of dicks. Our next two guests have a couple. I'm presuming Because I have never read an article saying that they underwent any kind of surgery to or. Or any kind of horrible accident where they were snipped off in a Lorena Bobbitt type situation. You ever hear of that? That's a popular reference with comedians from the 90s. You ever hear of that woman?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Yes.

[Natalie Palamides]

I've never heard of her.

[Scott Aukerman]

Never heard of Lorena Bobbitt? Interesting.

[Natalie Palamides]

No. I'm embarrassed. Should I know her?

[Scott Aukerman]

Look her up. It's a great story. It's a wonderful, heartwarming tale for the holidays.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I think you'd love.

[Natalie Palamides]

All right, awesome.

[Scott Aukerman]

I really relate to her. I think I get a Lorena Bobbitt feel from your whole thing. Yeah, you really do. But I forget where I was in this intro. Oh, yeah, they have penises. There are a couple of sports legends. Please welcome. One of them has been on the show before, one of them has not. Please welcome to the show Bill Walton and Wade Boggs.

[Bill Walton]

Wow, Scott. Wow. Thank you for reading our intro word for word. Pleasure to be here with the great podcaster Scott Aukerman. And an honor to be here with Natalie Palamides from stage to screen, from laid on stage to Nate on Netflix. From UCB's family mattress to UCB's Eastwood. What a pleasure to be here.

[Natalie Palamides]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

And thank you for reading the response to my intro that I read.

[Bill Walton]

Thanks for writing it out and texting it to me. Scott Aukerman, one of the great texters of our time.

[Scott Aukerman]

Welcome back to the show. Bill Wall Walton, it's so good to see you again. You've been on the show a few times, but Wade, you. You haven't spoken nary a word at this point.

[Wade Boggs]

I know. You know, I. I'm typically sort of a utility player, so I kind of just sort of hang back, wait for my moment, and maybe one day they'll let me get on the mound and pitch one game, which they did when I was on the Yankees, I pitched a game. It was great. Normally a third baseman, it was great to be called in.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you, you take those lessons conversationally as well. You try to apply them to conversations.

[Wade Boggs]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

I really do.

[Wade Boggs]

I work, wait for my moment, make sure people are finished with their sentence, hold. Then I find my moment.

[Bill Walton]

Scott, pleasure to be here with Jeff and Mike Love men's products. From the lawnmower manscaping to hims hair products. Every time I get sold something because I'm a man, I get happy.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about that dollar shave club? You have one of those?

[Bill Walton]

Absolutely. The commercial sold Me, I subscribed for a whole year and those are the worst razors I've ever had. Sh Sharp. I cut up every day. I'm in pain. But I love the ads. They're irreverent, they're quick, they're horrible.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I don't think they've, they've, they've been a sponsor for quite a number of years. So I think we're safe to say this at this point.

[Bill Walton]

Oh, yes. Now, Earwolf, from Scripps local TV network to Sirius XM satellite radio, owned by the big guys, not needing the dollar shave money anymore.

[Wade Boggs]

And I also love these products. Scott.

[Bill Walton]

Thank you.

[Wade Boggs]

Wade and Mike and Jeff. Hi, Natalie.

[Natalie Palamides]

Hey, good to see you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Natalie, do you know Wade Boggs? Do you know his work?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, yeah, no, I caught that game that he pitched that time. Really?

[Scott Aukerman]

You were there in person or.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, I was there in person. I saw history get made that day.

[Bill Walton]

I believe Natalie was the one that ran out to the mound and pointed to her left arm for Wade to come out and throw the pitch.

[Wade Boggs]

It was, I was actually put into the game at fan request. It was pretty incredible. The only time it's ever happened in history. The coach wasn't going to take out the starting pitcher, but Natalie jumped out of the stands, ran to the mound, stopped the game, tapped her arm. I came on from third base, threw a few strikes, if I remember correctly, mostly through knuckleballs. And honestly, for me, it was a great time. I don't know that I, I will

[Natalie Palamides]

be remembered by history, but you'll be remembered by me. I'm your biggest fan, Wade, and it's truly, I'm. My mind is blown just being able to talk to you right now.

[Wade Boggs]

Well, that's, that's, that's really nice to hear. You know, as a third baseman, a position that's often overlooked, it feels nice to have a fan.

[Scott Aukerman]

Third base. You know, a lot of, a lot of baseball players, they never get there. You know what I mean? So it's like, it's a lonely position.

[Wade Boggs]

Indeed it is, Scott. I spent most of the game talking, talking to the third base umpire and the third base coach from the opposing team. Not too many friends on my team.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that third base umpire, he's always changing. So it's like you always are making small talk. It's like going on a lot of first dates.

[Wade Boggs]

Exactly, Scott. And again, this comes back to me, finding my moments. I would wait for the third base umpire to sort of say something that I could sort of recognize, try to Find my in and become friends as quickly as possible. But of course, then that man would leave me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure. So you would wait for him to say so usually what's he, the types of things he's saying is, is he like, that's, that's a foul ball.

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah. Usually he's responding to whether, whether or not the batter went or not. It's a response to did he go?

[Scott Aukerman]

And then how do you, how do you follow that up? What do you say in response to that in order to strike up a conversation?

[Wade Boggs]

Well, usually it's the opposing team who's at at bat when he makes the call. So if he says that's why you're

[Scott Aukerman]

out there on the field, I would

[Wade Boggs]

imagine if he says that they did go, then I'll say, hey, good call, buddy.

[Natalie Palamides]

Hey, good call, buddy. Yeah, that's your line, huh?

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah. Most of my friendships in, in my life have started from me sort of complimenting someone on the job they've done. Whether it's the fry guy at a fast food restaurant or, you know, the security guard allowing people into the stadium.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Yeah, I've hung out with, I've hung out with Wade before and it's just him and a bunch of umpires.

[Wade Boggs]

That's right. A lot of people call me a traitor. I say, no, those are the only guys who will talk to me. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I would think that it would be a little more of a problem if you were hanging out with the opposing team, you know, or the rival team, like the Dodgers and the Giants hanging out together. But I mean, the umpires, they're just calling them like they see them, you know.

[Wade Boggs]

Exactly. Scott. I appreciate people who are honest, which is why I loved the pitches from these guys. But I gotta bring something up. Scott, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry. I don't know that your, your booker really did as much research search as they should have because I'm actually also on the podcast today to pitch you some men's products from a company that I started called Strike Through.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. Well, that's okay. I mean it's. Two segments can kind of overlap in terms of theme. I think that's alright. So yeah, why don't we hear your pitch? And you guys don't mind, right? Jeff and Mike, I mean, this is a competitor, obviously.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely. We want to see the competitors and I haven't heard him say one cuss word, so I'm not really that worried.

[Wade Boggs]

Well, strap in buddy, because you're about to hear a few.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Uh.

[Wade Boggs]

Oh, Scott, damn it. Man.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse me, Bart Simpson.

[Wade Boggs]

What?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Little.

[Scott Aukerman]

Little Damnit man is not here, if that's who you're addressing.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

He said clear character and he will be coming back.

[Bill Walton]

Though don't we feel like Bart Simpson was the original Little Damn It Man?

[Scott Aukerman]

I do remember that it seemed like Little Damn it man was just Bart Simpson. But not yellow.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

No, he was. He was slightly yellow,

[Scott Aukerman]

so he had a bit of jaundice.

[Wade Boggs]

All that notwithstanding, folks, what's every man's greatest fear? Smelling good.

[Bill Walton]

Smelling good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Smell. Smelling good is smelling.

[Wade Boggs]

Smelling good. You don't want to walk by people and them think that's a man who's never worked a day in his life. So from the people who brought you getting out of your car at a stoplight to aggressively gesture at the person behind you. I bring you stink flavored body wash. That's right. This is a body wash that will make you. You smell as though you've worked all day in any field you would like. That's right. We've got landscaping flavored, we've got sous chef flavored, we've got carpenter flavored, we've got baseball player flavored, which, I'll tell you, this is my favorite.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, of course.

[Wade Boggs]

But all sorts of body washes that'll make you smell like any kind of working man you'd like to smell like.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Excuse me. Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right. You got it in at the end. Can I say something, Wade?

[Wade Boggs]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's what. Here's my suspicion. Okay, now. Now, Jeff and Mike, in the previous segment, I said, hey, we only have time for one more. And then they let it slip that they had three at the ready. Did they just send you these things to read and you're just doing. Doing their material right now?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

He's on now, Scott, I.

[Wade Boggs]

Listen, listen, Scott. We've all seen the new Genics commercials. We've seen sports athletes become spokespersons for bad sort of men's products, okay? And I assure you that this is not an instance of a fledgling company passing off spokesperson duties to another sports athlete. Of course, because my company is called Strikethrough.

[Scott Aukerman]

Strikethrough. And how would I get to that? If there is there a website or

[Wade Boggs]

you would go to superscreen.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, all right. Interesting.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Scott. Texting your friend a couple extra jokes. It's a guy thing. It's a guy thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize. This is a guy thing.

[Wade Boggs]

Okay, Scott, I'm here to talk about baseball also, not just about the products that my company. That is my.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so you're now Segueing into what you originally came to do. All right, good to know.

[Bill Walton]

I will say, Scott, this is some observant hosting. In the world of podcasting, you don't see observations like the ones you get from Scott Aukerman. Whether it's Kevin Pollack's chat show or anything on the vast array of the reply all group, the observations are shit compared to Scott Aukerman's clear, underlined observations of what's going on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you, Bill. I've noticed you're not shouting as much as you did in your previous appearances.

[Bill Walton]

It's easier to shout in a podcast studio than in a home that you share with other people.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, who are you sharing this home with?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Your son, maybe?

[Bill Walton]

I'm currently shacked up with my son, Luke Walton. We're trying to start our own basketball bubble. It's a father son bubble.

[Scott Aukerman]

I would love to see a whole father son game. There's how many people on a team? Five I would love to see. I mean, I guess there'd have to be one extra father or one extra son, but still, dads versus sons.

[Bill Walton]

Or it's all people from the same family.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, well, okay, so dads versus sons. I feel like that would be a little lopsided, depending on how old the dads were or how young the sons were. But I'm saying split up the team evenly between fathers and sons. I mean, that's a real bonding time.

[Bill Walton]

It's a fantastic time to bond, unless you're playing against your son and you're dunking on his ass.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, but why am I telling you? You're the one who started this whole bubble. You know how it works.

[Bill Walton]

Well, you've talked me out of of it, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, how long have you been in the bubble for?

[Bill Walton]

It's been six months of putting this together.

[Scott Aukerman]

And just one sentence from me and you're out.

[Bill Walton]

Scott, you are one of the most convincing men I've ever met. From Alan Dershowitz to Johnny Cochran to Scott Aukerman.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know that I want to be in that company.

[Bill Walton]

Three of the greatest and most similar men I've ever met and three of the biggest fans of O.J. simpson I've ever talked to. To Scott Aukerman, Robert Kardashian.

[Natalie Palamides]

You can add me to the list, too.

[Bill Walton]

Natalie Palamide is one of the great voices from Powerpuff Girls to the progressive commercials. Every time I hear Natalie's voice, I'll pop onto Twitter. Natalie Palominas. Keep up the good voice.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, thanks.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just to balance out the people who are telling her that her voice is annoying. Of course.

[Bill Walton]

Absolutely. Go to hell.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Now, Bill, I heard your. I heard your bubble was pretty quickly compromised.

[Bill Walton]

Unfortunately, everybody in the bubble has coronavirus.

[Scott Aukerman]

How many people? I thought it was just you and your son.

[Bill Walton]

Yes.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

You guys were the first two six month cases, correct?

[Scott Aukerman]

Usually. Doesn't it subside after. I don't know, couple of months or death?

[Bill Walton]

Unfortunately, they're studying us right now. We've been passing it back and forth because our games have been sweaty in close contact. So I felt pretty good. After a couple weeks, my sense of taste and smell was coming back. So obviously I let my son feed me. And my sick son got me sicker than I was the first time around.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no. This is a horrible story. Wade, you said that there was something that you wanted to talk about.

[Natalie Palamides]

About.

[Bill Walton]

Oh, I.

[Wade Boggs]

No, no. That I was just gonna. You know, I got out the one that I wanted to get out. We don't. We. I don't need any more time since I'm here.

[Bill Walton]

Wade just forwarded me a text message I'd like to read. Scott, here's a question I have for you and of course, for Natalie. I don't know if you've experienced this or the men in your life, but, you know when you're bowling with the guys? You know when you're bowling with the guys?

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you want an answer? Yes. Yes, of course we know when we're bowling.

[Bill Walton]

There's a call and response here, okay? And obviously you're Bo. The guys. And out of nowhere, somebody mistakes your bald head for a bowling ball. They stick their two fingers in your nose and their thumb in your eye, and they throw you right down the lane. And in fear, you mess yourself on the way down the lane.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you need a response? I didn't realize this was going to be like Freddie Mercury at Live Aid, where we had to respond so many times.

[Bill Walton]

Oh, yo, yo, yo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Holy, holy, holy. What do you want us to say? No, this has never happened to me.

[Bill Walton]

Okay, there we go. God, Freddy didn't have to pull this out of his audience, but I got a worse audience.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you continuing or is that the end? No, there's more.

[Bill Walton]

It's just. I'm feeling like the call response isn't working. I put in my Freddie Mercury teeth, which nobody's complimenting me on. Be honest. Too big.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, look, I. Honestly, when we turned on the Zoom and you came on, I thought I was just talking to a pair of teeth. Like an anthropomorphic pair of Teeth or something.

[Bill Walton]

Oh, no, that was not some sort of funny zoom thing that I did. What are those called, Scott? You know the word a filter. It was not a funny filter. Natalie Palominus with the interjection clutch. Clutch. I lost my words and my nerves, and Natalie Palamides saved me a big save. Like Wade Boggs, if you had ever pitched a saving game. Or like one of the pictures of the famous Los Angeles Dodgers in this last World Series. From the people who brought you.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

That was all written from the people

[Bill Walton]

who brought you adult rubber sheets. For men.

[Scott Aukerman]

It is the.

[Bill Walton]

It is the bowling lane mop for the man who messes himself when mistaken for a bowling ball and thrown down a bowling lane and messing up.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I want a product that keeps the people from sticking their fingers in my face. I don't want the product that just cleans up when I soil myself after he does it.

[Bill Walton]

So you're saying that all of these products are solving a symptom more than they're solving an actual issue?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, the actual problem. Like, let's take a step back in the process.

[Bill Walton]

Well, unfortunately, we will not sell that at my company, Underline, but if you go to Bold.com, you'll find all of our products right there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wait, who's selling Bold.com?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

we don't know who that is.

[Natalie Palamides]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, incredible stuff. And so Bill and Wade, you didn't come on to talk about anything.

[Bill Walton]

Like Wade said, your booker is a jackass. I got booked on this show not knowing what to talk about, so if I were you, I'd talk to the booker about this.

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah, I mean, normally I only make appearances publicly to actually pitch the products that I make. So I fancy myself more an entrepreneur than an ex baseball player, if I'm being honest, Scott. So the fact that I was introduced as an ex or a legendary athlete instead of an entrepreneur, preneur. I'm a bit upset.

[Scott Aukerman]

But this is what people mainly know you. You from. I mean, I would. I. I don't know that I would necessarily introduce George Foreman as a guy who made a couple of grills.

[Wade Boggs]

You know, it depends on the generation. I'm. I'm introducing him to, Scott. If I'm introducing to him to someone who was reared in the era of the Foreman grill more so than the era of Foreman the boxing champion.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I don't think any generation knows you as a pitch man or as an entrepreneur, I think.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

And that's exactly the problem, Scott. As a man, you're constantly pitching, and nobody knows if you have the full floor. So what we have today is the oversized polo shirt. No matter what you tuck it in, it just barely doesn't fit you. And everybody knows this guy's trying to sell me something.

[Scott Aukerman]

So were you interested in pitching because you pitched in that one game?

[Wade Boggs]

Wade, you know, I'll have to say there was a bit of a sort of mental connection when I received an email. I mean the opportunity to come pitch my product. Yeah, nevermind that I said that, Scott. I was talking about when I had the bright idea for myself to come up with these products. I thought, you know, I did pitch that one game. Always wanted to be a pitcher. Maybe now's my chance to really be a pitcher. And Scott, let me just say I have one more question for you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here he goes.

[Wade Boggs]

Have you ever been wanting to relax, taking a nap, laying down in your hammock and thinking, man, I really wish I didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom.

[Bill Walton]

100 emojis.

[Wade Boggs]

Well, Scott, from the guys who brought you bragging about how cool your car is, here we have the hammock with a toilet in it. That's right, Scott. A lot of people say that this product isn't clever. The name is too on the nose. But I'll say this, Scott, I want to see the name of the thing. I'm gonna get on the box and when I see a hammock with a toilet in it, I know exactly what that is. And I'm Gonna absolutely send four easy payments of $250 all charged on the same day to my website, superscript.com.

[Scott Aukerman]

so you sell two products on your website?

[Wade Boggs]

Well, Scott, yes. Currently I've licensed to, I mean invented two products that I sell on my website.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm gonna be honest here. You know, Jeff and Mike, you guys said $1,000 for everything in your catalog. It seems to me like you realize that was a bad deal for you and so you shuttled off a few of your products to your buddies over here so that you can get another couple thousand dollars here.

[Bill Walton]

I've never met these gentlemen before.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why are you changing your voice, Bill?

[Bill Walton]

What are you talking about? I've never.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't have to disguise your voice to say that you don't know them. We know you.

[Bill Walton]

I don't know these guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, not another Italian.

[Wade Boggs]

I also don't know these guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, who are they?

[Bill Walton]

And then after that I go, you

[Scott Aukerman]

keep saying like you're about to continue and then you stop to a standstill.

[Bill Walton]

It's one of the great public aneurysms you're seeing live on the air, Scott.

[Natalie Palamides]

Dad, did you forget to take your medication?

[Bill Walton]

Oh, my God. Luke Walton.

[Natalie Palamides]

Dad, I told you.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

God.

[Natalie Palamides]

Take your medication, dad. Gonna have another aneurysm on the air, dad.

[Bill Walton]

All right. Luke comes in. My medication is six hours of Grateful Dead albums. He puts it on, and it calms me.

[Natalie Palamides]

You want to put it on now, dad, or wait till you're done? Dan?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I don't know that we can get the rights to these albums here. I don't know, though. I'm afraid you're gonna have to suffer through your aneurysm.

[Bill Walton]

You can't get the rights to it. It's great for you. Talking YouTube to me, to you. Talking Talking Heads to my talking head. You got the rights to all the great music from the 70s, 80s.

[Scott Aukerman]

And I guess, now that I think about it, the Grateful Dead is not really litigious when it comes to their music, are they?

[Bill Walton]

Let's just say Cherry Garcia went and finished the sentence. Somebody finished.

[Natalie Palamides]

Cherry Garcia is a good friend of my dad's.

[Bill Walton]

Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cherry Garcia, the ice cream flavor.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah.

[Bill Walton]

Between Jerry Garcia, Maricone Dream, and I had one of the fantastic dinners I've ever had.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you have dessert first? Oh, well, Luke, it's so great to see you. I'm sorry about your bubble, which is not a thing that I don't think anyone would ever say before 2020. Unless, I guess, you know, someone had some old chewing gum or something.

[Bill Walton]

What?

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, bubble about gum. Yeah. No, I'm not too sad about the bubble. I'm just glad to be in a bubble with my dad, be able to play basketball, baseball, soccer ball, all kind of sports.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you guys are playing more than just one sport? That's amazing. Oh, yeah.

[Bill Walton]

Basketball, baseball, soccer ball, they're all going down in the Walton household.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're still mid aneurysm. Bill, I'm sorry that the.

[Bill Walton]

I don't have my Jerry playing yet. It's okay. I'll power through, and then I'll ride that train high on cocaine.

[Natalie Palamides]

Here, dad, take a spoonful of this Cherry Garcia, tie you over until we can put the album on.

[Bill Walton]

Oh, no.

[Natalie Palamides]

There you go. One more.

[Bill Walton]

One more. I'm so sorry to put you through this.

[Scott Aukerman]

One more, one more. You said one more before the last one.

[Natalie Palamides]

Two more. There you go.

[Bill Walton]

You should be out living your life. I'm sorry you're here taking care of your own dad.

[Natalie Palamides]

No, no, don't say that, Dad. I love you, Dad. I love being in the bubble with you, Dad. I love feeding your ice cream, dad.

[Bill Walton]

Hey, that's my boy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, look, I hate to say this, but we're running out of time. But Bill, I think this might actually save you because we have just a little bit of time left on the show and only one feature left that is a little something called plug.

[Natalie Palamides]

Lets hear those plugs. Let's hear those plugs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's hear those plugs. Let's hear those plugs. Oh, nice. Pretty short, sweet. Sounds a lot like cool op. This is let's hear those plugs by Grendel is Friends. Grendel is friends. Thank you so much to Grendel is Friends. All right, guys, what are we plugging? Natalie, obviously. Nate is coming out December 1st on Netflix.

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah. Please watch it. Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Please watch

[Wade Boggs]

it.

[Natalie Palamides]

Please watch it. Also. Great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Please watch it. What about it? Chapter two?

[Natalie Palamides]

Yeah, I can't vouch for it, Chapter two, but it is phenomenal. Has the Stranger things kid in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, Jeff and Mike, what do you guys want to play?

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Well, you know, Scott, we cannot talk enough about the road toad. But right now. But right now we would.

[Scott Aukerman]

I appreciate you moving on to another subject, though.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Absolutely. We are promoting a new website called biggrandewebsite.com where you will find two new shows from the sketch and improv group Big Grande.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

You know, this is your classic content for guys. You know, as a guy, you know, not a lot of stuff is made for you. This is something that you can all really get into.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right. And Bill, you are not looking good. And Wade Boggs, do you guys want to plug anything?

[Wade Boggs]

You know, it's interesting, Scott, again, an instance of your booker not not doing a pre interview because I'm actually also here to promote www.biggrandewebsite.com, which is of course, as was just discussed, a website that can contains new two new brand new podcasts and new content from the sketch and improv group Big Grande.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Wade Boggs]

It's just very interesting that we would both be coming on the show today to promote the same thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, it happens sometimes. I mean, you know, people are free to plug anything they want on this show or during the segment on this show. And sometimes there's a little bit of overlap.

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

Can I plug one more thing?

[Scott Aukerman]

Thing?

[Mike (Entrepreneur)]

I just really want to. It doesn't get enough praise, but I really want to plug yellow mustard. I think yellow mustard needs to be used more often.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just plain yellow mustard. Not the spicy kind of, not Dijon, just generic plain yellow mustard.

[Bill Walton]

Look, at my dog. Look how it shines for you. My hot dog's got yellow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you interested in the art of song parody, Bill?

[Bill Walton]

It's one of the most interesting things you can pitch to me.

[Natalie Palamides]

From

[Bill Walton]

Nick soon to Weird al Yankovic,

[Scott Aukerman]

from Dr. Usually the other way around, I would say, well, I want to plug Auntie Donna on Netflix right now. If you're on Netflix watching Nate, hey, why not flip over to watch Auntie Donna, which is a sketch show that I produced and very proud of. Those guys are really funny and this show is getting great reviews, so we hope that people will watch it. All right, well, let's close up the old plug bag.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

You start with a C. When you

[Scott Aukerman]

wanna close it up, you lead with an L. And then you O.

[Bill Walton]

Clean up the plug bag. Open up the plug.

[Scott Aukerman]

Take your hands and open it up.

[Wade Boggs]

Then Horatio comes and then he just says,

[Bill Walton]

Open it up. Bumping up the plug bank. Bumping up the plug bank. Everybody wants to open up the plug bag.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just keep it fucking. Open up the bug.

[Bill Walton]

Open up the bug.

[Scott Aukerman]

Open up the plug.

[Bill Walton]

Open it up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Guys, I want to thank you so much, Natalie. Always great to have you on the show.

[Natalie Palamides]

Thank you so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

Continued success. Not a compliment.

[Natalie Palamides]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

And just merely a statement.

[Natalie Palamides]

Sure, sure. Thanks so much for having me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course. And Jeff and Mike, you really pulled a couple of fast ones on me here.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Thank you. Thanks so much. Now, did we talk about fresh undies?

[Scott Aukerman]

You did, yes. That was one of the first things.

[Jeff (Entrepreneur)]

Just wanted to make sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just wanted to make sure. And Bill and Wade, finally the show is just about over. Bill or. Sorry. Wade, very nice to meet you and absolutely, Scott, thanks.

[Wade Boggs]

So it was so nice to feel like I was in the dugout instead of on third base today. You know what I mean? Surrounding like minded people, you know, not by myself. Trying to make friends with the enemy. It was really nice to chat today.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wonderful. And Wade and your son. I'm sorry, what was your son's name?

[Bill Walton]

Owen. Luke Walton.

[Scott Aukerman]

Luke Walton.

[Wade Boggs]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wade.

[Natalie Palamides]

Oh, yeah. See ya. Thanks so much for having me.

[Scott Aukerman]

You have demolished those pints of ice cream. How many pints did you just eat? Wade? My God. Or not. Wade. Bill, of course.

[Bill Walton]

I mean, who's counting at this point? 26, 27 pins of ice cream.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pints.

[Bill Walton]

Yes, pints of ice cream. We pronounce things differently across the pond.

[Natalie Palamides]

Finish off your pint, dad, and let's hit the bubble.

[Bill Walton]

That's a good son. That's a good dad, I guess. Scott, I would rather be shot into space.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you gonna finish that or no?

[Bill Walton]

I was. I was cleaning up the Would you rather Section. I was closing that up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. No, we didn't play that on this episode. All right, guys, we'll see it. We'll see you next time. Thanks.

[Wade Boggs]

Bye.
