Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Bang. Comedy Bang Bang Bang Ban.
Scott Aukerman
If you read this catchphrase then you might be a podcast host. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you so much to Tall F. Pompkins for that wonderful catchphrase submission. Tall F. Pompkins. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang indeed. This is episode number eight, 850. That is right. 850 episodes of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast, including approximately 800 of those have had no dings on them, as I realize I need to put it on do not disturb. And there we are. It's on. This will be a Ding List podcast. This will be a ding podcast today. Shimmy, Shimmy, Shimmy. I'm just kidding around. Shimmy. What are you doing here? Gotta go. Oh, that's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
You really zipped.
Scott Aukerman
Right. Very brief. Very brief from Shimmy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Did you think that. That that catchphrase was meant to be read in a Jeff Foxworthy voice?
Scott Aukerman
I tried to give it a Jeff Foxworthy spin without sort of tipping.
Jason Mantzoukas
Impressions are so subtle.
Scott Aukerman
Yes. Too subtle, some would say. Sorry.
Hot Dog
I just feel compelled to stop in.
Scott Aukerman
Real quick to point out that it.
Hot Dog
Was me who taught you how to put your computer on do not disturb.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my God. And he's got.
Jason Mantzoukas
What a delight. And he jumped right out a window.
Scott Aukerman
August, are you hanging out with Shimmy today? What's going on?
Hot Dog
Yeah, he and I are taking a walking tour of Hollywood.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, gotta go.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, I feel you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who knew those guys were buds? Isn't it cool when you realize that people, you know, independent of each other are friends?
Scott Aukerman
It seems like August Lind, by the way, that was about a year ago he was on the show. I feel like he never went back to Germany. He's just been hanging out here. Ran into Shimmy.
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't know what's going on with the Schneiderberg Pretzel Factory. I mean, without him there.
Scott Aukerman
We talked a lot about a biopic and all of that. You weren't. You were not here for that.
Jason Mantzoukas
But I wasn't.
Scott Aukerman
I do want to introduce you, though, because some people may recognize your dulcet tones. We have new listeners to the show who may not know who you are. Let's go through your credits.
Jason Mantzoukas
Go the League. And we're done.
Scott Aukerman
The League, that movie that just went to Paramount plus very early on in the Pandemic, of course. With Mark Wahlberg.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yep.
Jason Mantzoukas
Infinite.
Scott Aukerman
Infinite, that's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Absolutely. How it's. How it's. It has penetrated the zeitgeist.
Scott Aukerman
It was not. Not referring to the number of watches on Paramount plus, apparently. And the voice of Mucinex, of course.
Jason Mantzoukas
Of course. Mr. Mucus.
Scott Aukerman
M. Mucus. Is that his name?
Jason Mantzoukas
His name is Mr. Mucus.
Scott Aukerman
Has he ever been called that on the actual.
Jason Mantzoukas
And you know what? Call him. Put some respect. Mr. Mucus.
Scott Aukerman
Should I take Mr. Mucus's name out of my mouth? I love to take Mr. Mucus out of my mouth. He has his own podcast called how did this Get Made? Which is right here on the Earwolf Network. Please welcome back to the Show Jason Manzoukas.
Jason Mantzoukas
850 episodes.
Scott Aukerman
Can you imagine?
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Doing that many of anything.
Jason Mantzoukas
Boy, we got old.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Really?
Jason Mantzoukas
It's. It's no good. How is that 800? Think about that. 850 episodes.
Scott Aukerman
You know, I don't like growing old, but I'm glad that I did.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, nice work.
Scott Aukerman
You know what I mean? I don't like growing old, but I'd.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Love to watch you walk away.
Scott Aukerman
I thought you were walking away. Get around again. All right. Can I see your butt as you leave? Sure.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think these guys are stuck in the yard.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know what they're still doing here. They keep saying they have to go.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think they're skinny dipping in the pool.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's why his butt's out.
Scott Aukerman
That's fine.
Hot Dog
I got to go.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
I didn't know August Lip was.
Scott Aukerman
You don't. It's not. No need to announce your departure.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're not arriving. They're not. They're not announcing their arrivals, just departures.
Scott Aukerman
Jay, it's great to have you back on the show.
Jason Mantzoukas
So excited to be.
Scott Aukerman
Especially for 2024. 2024.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can you believe it?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
We got here.
Scott Aukerman
I remember when I was a kid, I thought the year 2000 seemed so far away.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, in the Conan bit.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I was so far away from that Conan bit.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
And now here we are.
Scott Aukerman
Now here we are. We're almost as.
Jason Mantzoukas
As we're a quarter century past the year 2000. Past Y2K. Remember when all of our computers completely crashed and we couldn't use them anymore?
Scott Aukerman
It was chaos. For a good three years.
Jason Mantzoukas
Plunged into an analog life.
Hot Dog
That's right.
Scott Aukerman
We were. We were forced to say ones and zeros to each other.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's it.
Scott Aukerman
1 0, 1, 1, 1, 1 0.
Jason Mantzoukas
100 0, 11 0.
Scott Aukerman
Year 2000 to, like, 2002.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know, a lot of.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Did I hear my name?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, who's this? Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wait.
Scott Aukerman
New.
Hot Dog
New.
Jason Mantzoukas
New arrival.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm Robo Shimmy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Robo Shimmy.
Scott Aukerman
Let me guess.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Got to go.
Scott Aukerman
Robo Shimmy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
My gosh.
Hot Dog
Hey, y'.
Scott Aukerman
All.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, hi, Jimmy.
Scott Aukerman
Did you see a robot?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, there is a robot.
Scott Aukerman
Did you create a mad robot?
Hot Dog
I did.
Scott Aukerman
I, I. I took a page out of Urkel's book.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Just that one, I hope. That one. No, I don't have a Smooth French alter ego.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you in fact did do that.
Scott Aukerman
That's all I know about her cob.
Hot Dog
Okay, okay.
Scott Aukerman
I've been a robot all along. I gotta go.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is that canon now?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, my gosh.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe he just thinks he's.
Jason Mantzoukas
We have to reframe everything about August Lint.
Scott Aukerman
I wonder if Shimmy created an AI that's going to take over the world, wouldn't that be ironic?
Jason Mantzoukas
That would be pretty incredible. Or if, like the robot Shimmy is some sort of Terminator situation. Yes, a Terminator version of Shimmy.
Scott Aukerman
That's. Oh, wow, how interesting. A Terminator version of Shimmy. Yeah, I don't think the Terminators were versions of anyone. Maybe in the. In the Terminator franchise, I bet they.
Jason Mantzoukas
Were a version of someone.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you think that. Arnold. Arnold. Let me try to say his name one more time. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jason Mantzoukas
Arnold was. Was Arnold.
Scott Aukerman
This is actually a good idea for a spin off or a sequel or a franchise movie. The person that the Terminator was based on and he doesn't like the machines and he fights them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
And then suddenly he has to face off against.
Jason Mantzoukas
He resents with Cyberdyne Industries. Oh, and he has to do Face Off.
Scott Aukerman
He has to do a face off and then you find out that he swapped minds with the Terminator.
Jason Mantzoukas
So it's a face off and a mind swap.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, it's apparent. Not apparent. Trap. What is it? Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday Face off situation.
Jason Mantzoukas
Freaky Friday face. That would be incredible.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, I'm scrapping the Terminator idea. I'm just. I just want to do Freaky Friday Face off where. Mom.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I know, I know.
Scott Aukerman
It's serious. Jimmy, I gotta go. I know, I know. Please don't come back. Freaky Friday Face Off.
Jason Mantzoukas
Where is that girlfriend in a coma.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, Freaky Friday Face off where a mom and a daughter, they switch bodies and then they do a face off situation. Why then. But then it's.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why do they do the face off if they've already switched bodies?
Scott Aukerman
Because. Because they're tired of not having their own face.
Hot Dog
Oh, so.
Jason Mantzoukas
So they're in each other's bodies, but they face swap so that they can go back to their normal lives.
Scott Aukerman
So it's like young Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. They swap bodies and then they switch faces. But then Jamie Lee Curtis has her face on a very tiny body. Yeah, and hold on. I think I just found out my new case. I was just gonna say Jamie Lee Curtis. You just slow down.
Jason Mantzoukas
You slowed down. Broke eye contact. Broke Eye contact.
Scott Aukerman
I broke our eye contract.
Jason Mantzoukas
Looked wistfully.
Scott Aukerman
At the moment. We have a contract with each other.
Jason Mantzoukas
We signed a contract.
Scott Aukerman
We just locked throughout the entire show. That's why we don't like the fact that Jimmy and August Linder here, they.
Jason Mantzoukas
Keep distracting and tempting me to break eye contact.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly. Well, Jason, what's. This is Valentine's week, The week of love. Are. You have a lot of people knocking down your door?
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody's knocking. Knocking at the door of the. Of the. The dungeon that I'm living in.
Scott Aukerman
You do live in a dungeon, which is.
Jason Mantzoukas
I do live in a dungeon.
Scott Aukerman
Anytime I go to see, I have to cross the moat.
Jason Mantzoukas
I live in a castle dungeon. Y. There's a moat. There's.
Scott Aukerman
I lower the drawbridge.
Jason Mantzoukas
I lower the drawbridge. There.
Scott Aukerman
There's an ogre underneath it.
Hot Dog
You know what?
Jason Mantzoukas
That ogre turns out is very cool.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Really? Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was.
Scott Aukerman
You know what?
Jason Mantzoukas
I judged an ogre by his cover. Cool like Shrek or not cool like Shrek? See, that's a big thing for him. He's like, I'm not like Shrek. I'm cool. Like an actual cool person.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. So you wear, like, sunglasses and stuff like that?
Jason Mantzoukas
Sunglasses. A big part of it. Surf culture.
Scott Aukerman
Older sunglasses.
Jason Mantzoukas
What's that?
Scott Aukerman
Nothing. Wait, what'd you say?
Jason Mantzoukas
Thank you, Jimmy.
Scott Aukerman
We don't need back. Did you say they should make ogre sunglasses? Now? Do I mean sunglasses for ogres?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
Scott Aukerman
For sunglasses made of ogres? Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like, it's ogre bones. Are the frames.
Scott Aukerman
Ogre bones. Beautiful bones.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Into my brain.
Scott Aukerman
Bye.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Gotta go.
Scott Aukerman
Jimmy, where are you? August is lost. Marco.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're on a tandem bike.
Scott Aukerman
Marco. And they can't find each other. Just look behind one of us says Marco, and the other says Polo.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We don't just keep both say Marco and Polo.
Scott Aukerman
August, just look over your shoulder. He's right behind you on the tandem bite. I'm right behind him, aren't I, Jason?
Jason Mantzoukas
Ogre Bones is what.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry, we left off at Ogre Bones. Well, it is the week of love for all of our listeners out there, and we hope that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Will you flood the house with flowers? Will you? You know, is it chocolate?
Scott Aukerman
That's not just Valentine's Day. Yeah, that's. I. I treat every day as if it's Valentine's, and then on Valentine's Day, I. I do nothing.
Jason Mantzoukas
Savage. What a. What a move.
Scott Aukerman
Power move.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Well, Jason, it's great to have you. We do need to get to our first guest. Oh, wow. All right.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would love to.
Scott Aukerman
We actually it's first guests, if that's okay. Why not? Because they're here together. We last spoke to them. I believe it was episode somewhere around 799 or 801. Somewhere around there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Somewhere. Somewhere in that realm, in that range. They attended the coronation together.
Jason Mantzoukas
Of course.
Scott Aukerman
Please.
Jason Mantzoukas
Of the new king.
Scott Aukerman
Of the new Charles. King Charles. And we want to catch up with him, see what's been going on. But please welcome back to the show Byron Dennis. I wanted to say Byron Donaldson. That's someone different.
Hot Dog
Is it even a person?
Scott Aukerman
I think so.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you know someone?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, let me look up Byron Donald simply must be. If you are Byron Donaldson, please do get in touch.
Scott Aukerman
I guess it's not a person.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's not a person.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
There's no such a person Byron Donaldson as Byron Donaldson.
Jason Mantzoukas
Anyway, we stepped down to research that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Combination of names has never been used.
Scott Aukerman
There is a Byron Donalds and if he has a son, I hope that he names him Byron Donalds.
Hot Dog
So this they would clear legal.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, that's right.
Hot Dog
We could go ahead and use it.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Byron Denniston has final draft open. What do you.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, what's going on? Is this final draft 16?
Jason Mantzoukas
The cursor is going on on a character's name that he hasn't put in yet.
Hot Dog
This is perfect. Byron Donaldson.
Scott Aukerman
Please feel free to. Feel free to use it, but Byron Dennison is here and Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, hello. Don't know I was introduced second. I am a lord.
Scott Aukerman
I, I beg your par. Well, I, I don't. They say save the best for last.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, Scott, Rick, you've done it again.
Scott Aukerman
Welcome back to the show, guys. So is it okay if I call you guys? You are English gentlemen.
Hot Dog
Oh, yes. No, I, I enjoy your American colloquialisms and various casual conversation techniques. I, I think they're wonderful.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
For myself, I'd prefer chaps.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, Chaps. Yes, I, I like chaps.
Jason Mantzoukas
These two chaps.
Hot Dog
Yeah, I'm turning up my volume. It's my microphone working.
Scott Aukerman
It is. But can you hear the headphones? Can you hear the two of. Or the three of us, rather, but not yourself.
Hot Dog
There's something like that. No, there I am. Oh, fine.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Very good.
Hot Dog
Fine.
Jason Mantzoukas
This he heard time.
Scott Aukerman
Here in America, it is clockwise to go louder. I don't know what it is there.
Hot Dog
It is quite different to jolly old England. Yes, yes. It's Big Ben Wise to go.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, you must go Big Ben Wise for louder.
Scott Aukerman
Okra bones.
Jason Mantzoukas
Ben Wise balls Please welcome Ogre Bones.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And Big Ben Wise.
Hot Dog
Oh, they'd never be on the same bill.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I know. It's a flight of fancy, I suppose.
Hot Dog
I suppose.
Scott Aukerman
Something I would hear in Bad Cinderella by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Please, I. I'm so sorry to bring that up.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Don't bring it up.
Scott Aukerman
Do. Do you think. Do you never want to hear the words bad or Cinderella?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Not in such close company.
Hot Dog
I'm not familiar with that. Is it?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You should be, Byron.
Hot Dog
Did you know that Norman Jewison was not Jewish? Here's why I bring it up. He recently passed away.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Indeed.
Hot Dog
And he directed the film version of Jesus Christ, which is so wildly anti Semitic as a film. And I thought to myself, well, at least.
Scott Aukerman
Why would you say that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
One moment.
Hot Dog
What? What is it?
Scott Aukerman
What?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
How is it anti Semitic?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, wildly anti Semitic. I consider it anti Semitic.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, of course. What's this now?
Scott Aukerman
I thought it was just canon that the people who killed Jesus were Jew.
Hot Dog
Yes, but they're not necessarily. Cartoonishly evil with giant leather balloon hats.
Scott Aukerman
I see.
Hot Dog
It's a bit over the top.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You feel that the hats are anti Semitic?
Hot Dog
Yes, I do. If it weren't for the hats, if they had, say, regular hats, I think it'd be fine.
Scott Aukerman
Regular hats? Like what? Like a Sherlock Holmes.
Hot Dog
What do they call it? The Deerstalker hat.
Scott Aukerman
Deerstalker.
Hot Dog
Wonderful. That's a good hat.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was the 70s, darling. Yes, I know. This is what wardrobe design was like then. It has nothing to do with religion. Also, if we're going to get into it, the, the. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was a collab between the Jewish people and the Romans.
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
It was Jewish people, times Romans.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
Times Roman. I'm just saying.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Or I would say.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would say times New Roman.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would say Romans, parentheses, feet, period. The Jews.
Scott Aukerman
Close parentheses, Romans, feet. Boy, that's another one of my kinks.
Jason Mantzoukas
These are all. These are all searches that are auto.
Scott Aukerman
Filling on your succession. Of course.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh. I thought maybe you're one of those blokes who. Roman feet five times a day.
Scott Aukerman
Guys, it's one. Or chaps, rather. It's wonderful to have you back. You. Now, I don't know that you knew each other on the last episode. Or maybe you did. I can't remember, but it seems like you're close friends.
Hot Dog
We don't necessarily measure time by episodes, you and I, but.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, we don't. I sort of measure it by the days of my life.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Hot Dog
But I, I, we. We met quite A while ago, I think, you know, I. I presented myself as a. A very wealthy backer of West End shows. And it took several months before you realized I wasn't really. But by then we were friends.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, not at all. He hoped to go to shows for free so that he could see royals there.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, I see.
Hot Dog
I wanted to go on the nights when the royals would be there.
Scott Aukerman
Those were normally the premiere nights, I would think. Or are they going like, you know, five weeks later when the cast is settled in?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They're very canny, the royals. They do wait a bit.
Scott Aukerman
Do they really?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, let's. Let's let them find their feet.
Scott Aukerman
They say, oh, interesting.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sorry to excite you.
Hot Dog
Yes. But, you know, I. I always wanted to be in the audience when the royals were there with a clear view of the royals and simply watching them the entire time and never the show.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's your show. The show you're there to watch is them watching the show.
Hot Dog
That's right. That doesn't go down so well.
Scott Aukerman
Were you requesting that Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber turn an entire seat around facing the other way?
Hot Dog
Yes. Right in front of them.
Jason Mantzoukas
A row.
Hot Dog
Right in front of them. It's almost like when you ride a train.
Scott Aukerman
Right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I wish he had requested it rather than just did.
Hot Dog
Well, yes, I brought some power tools along and I sort of.
Scott Aukerman
Those are the best kind of tools for this kind of situation.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Imagine the. The look of shock on the face of Betty Buckley walking out there and seeing one theater seat turned around with sawdust still on the floor. For where he's saw it from. From its very moing.
Scott Aukerman
Like it was some sort of bar with sawdust on the floor or something. A draft house. All right, but haven't you ever been to one of those with peanuts on the floor and sawdust and.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Do you want to rethink that question?
Scott Aukerman
I'm so sorry. What do you drink? Are you. Do you. Do you tipple?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, I like a bit of sherry, A brandy after a fine meal.
Hot Dog
A port.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I love a port with a digestive.
Scott Aukerman
Are all of your meals fine meals, though, I would imagine.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, indeed.
Scott Aukerman
So you're just drinking port all the time?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Time. All the time.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, I feel like you are like a. You are like a gout magnet. I feel like you've got gout all the time. So, like, such rich eating.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I haven't been called that since I was in public school.
Jason Mantzoukas
This guy, total gout.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Here comes Andy, the gout magnet.
Scott Aukerman
Are you just eating sweet breads every meal?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I love sweet bread. If it's inside an animal. Get it inside me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I have a bit of brain.
Hot Dog
Oh, dear.
Scott Aukerman
Byron. You. You att the coronation. Is that. I think we were talking to you beforehand.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's. That's what I was trying to remember.
Scott Aukerman
Or was it after?
Jason Mantzoukas
I think it was prior to King Charles.
Scott Aukerman
And you debuted the song that you were going to have. Song Lloyd Weber.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's correct.
Scott Aukerman
How did this all go over everything?
Hot Dog
Well, it was. It was fascinating. I had to get into. Into sort of an elaborate disguise.
Scott Aukerman
No, you don't say.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Hot Dog
Just to sort of pass myself off as someone else. But I sat with the Lord Webber and we had a lovely.
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think we.
Scott Aukerman
I think we saw pictures of this. You were next to Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
In some sort of like.
Jason Mantzoukas
With a mustache. Did you have a mustache?
Scott Aukerman
Some sort of like Monty Python Mr. Cre costume.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Disguisest disguise anyone has ever seen.
Jason Mantzoukas
Master of Disguise from. From Master of Disguise.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't know what.
Scott Aukerman
Sort of like the Mr. Turtle guy.
Jason Mantzoukas
The character's name is Pistachio Disguisey.
Hot Dog
I see.
Scott Aukerman
I'm sorry.
Jason Mantzoukas
Disguisey family.
Hot Dog
Absolute best makeup department available. And Rick Baker did this for you? Yes. Baker and the absolute best wig maker.
Scott Aukerman
Did Rick Baker still have some of the clump stuff lying around? You're just like, look, I'm gonna wear clothes over it.
Hot Dog
Lump stuff.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The clubs. You're not familiar with the clubs. Eddie Murther.
Scott Aukerman
They're in that film.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Hot Dog
Wonderful. So good. So good.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He did hire Rick Baker and I thought it was a bit unusual that halfway through the singing of Blake's Jerusalem, Byron Denniston started to turn into a werewolf.
Hot Dog
Yes. It was very elaborate makeup. It sort of self turns into a.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, yes. It was stealing focus, if you don't mind my.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, you were in London.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
True.
Scott Aukerman
Indeed.
Jason Mantzoukas
Werewolf transformations are endemic.
Hot Dog
And my hair was perfect because I hired Cher's wig maker to make myself.
Scott Aukerman
She was just here a couple of weeks ago. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
She doesn't. Her voice doesn't sound so good.
Scott Aukerman
I know. She was in the car.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
She doesn't remember how to sing. I got you, babe.
Scott Aukerman
I know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Did Bob Mackie make all the clothes?
Hot Dog
Absolutely. And my sunglasses were by Dolce. Not Cabana Solo side project, but the finest outfit. But. And yet people online immediately zeroed in on me and said, that man's in disguise.
Scott Aukerman
We were sent this picture a lot, saying, this is obviously Byron. Everyone figured it out.
Hot Dog
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I especially a fortune trying to look like anything. Like a regular man.
Scott Aukerman
Did you look up an image search of regular man?
Hot Dog
Yes, I had pictures all over the makeup trailer. Regular man.
Scott Aukerman
Regular man.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It looked. It looked like nothing so much as a woman disguised as a man.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it was like a reverse Mrs. Doubtfire.
Hot Dog
Well, it did. That is. That was Baker's approach. First he made me look like a woman, but then he made me look like a man. Because he said, there's no way to really make. Make a man.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's how he. From a man. Only God may do it. Only God.
Jason Mantzoukas
Did he start with a man? Did he start with a rib?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, he starts with a man's rib and he builds a woman around it. Then he puts on male accoutrement.
Hot Dog
Sorry, I skipped a step. First I was an ape.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay.
Hot Dog
And then I was a woman.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then I was now original Planet of the Ape style or Tim Burton Planet.
Hot Dog
Oh, no. Original planet.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
May I ask a question about the Planet of the Apes series of films? Sure. Why are they still happening?
Jason Mantzoukas
I.
Scott Aukerman
And it'll be a decade in between them. It feels like.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or more.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. It just feels like there is no demand for them. And then suddenly one will pop up of like, hey, this is coming out.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You'll be like, people have been working for years on the years of their lives. Finally, it's out. Oh, I feel after the very first Planet of the Apes film.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Seemed all tightly wrapped up. No need to explore any further.
Scott Aukerman
You did it.
Jason Mantzoukas
There is shockingly so many of them that series. Not even the recent Matt Reeves.
Scott Aukerman
The original film series. There's like eight of them.
Hot Dog
I've always felt that Beneath the Planet of the Apes was beneath the Planet of the Apes.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I see.
Hot Dog
Quite beneath the same thing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I must say the same thing with your Godzilla. Why are they still.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
After the first Godzilla movie.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Who.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
How do you ever say, let's bring it back?
Scott Aukerman
Well, this. And now he's meeting King Kong again for the second time. And it's like, what do they have to talk about?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Talk about Also Godzilla minus one. What does that title mean?
Hot Dog
What does that mean?
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the new math that kids have to learn.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, Godzilla and Kong is like Godzilla plus one.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Godzilla plus one, you take it will call.
Hot Dog
But Godzilla minus one. Isn't it a concept film where you're sort of interacting with it?
Scott Aukerman
Have you seen this, Byron?
Hot Dog
No, I've only imagined. Isn't it a concept where he's on screen and you're sort of wearing a virtual reality headset? And you feel that you're with him.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, is that what it is?
Hot Dog
I believe that. Is it.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. All right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And I was wrong.
Scott Aukerman
Are you. Are you a VR person?
Hot Dog
I'm. Yes, absolutely.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But you're not real.
Hot Dog
No, no, no, I'm real, but I love to put on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Are we headset?
Hot Dog
I have no idea.
Jason Mantzoukas
Are we in your game?
Hot Dog
I'm not wearing the headset now.
Scott Aukerman
So this comedy Bang, Bang. Canonically just a VR imagination of Byron Dennison.
Jason Mantzoukas
Royal Watcher Byron Dennis.
Scott Aukerman
It's like a St. Elsewhere situation.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is. I watched the pilot for Saint Elsewhere recently. Pretty bad.
Scott Aukerman
Well, especially if you go backwards, knowing everything. Yes. That it's just the imaginations of a child. It's hard to take seriously.
Hot Dog
In the pilot, was Howie Mandel let off the chain at all?
Jason Mantzoukas
He wasn't really. They're still finding.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. All right. Howie Mandel, very hot comedian. And they said, let's put him in this medical drama and let's have him be the mildly amusing character he is.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like the Patch Adams of this hospital.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't believe that's true. He doesn't even go as far as Pat.
Jason Mantzoukas
He doesn't. He does it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No.
Hot Dog
I remember tuning in, saying, well, he'll be funny. And he wasn't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Surely he'll do the surgical glove on the head causing. He's in a hospital.
Hot Dog
Of course, he must never did.
Scott Aukerman
Didn't he get a. He, he.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He.
Scott Aukerman
He got some sort of injury from that, didn't he?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Like his nasal cavities or something like that.
Jason Mantzoukas
From doing the rubber glove on the head.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
You know this for certain?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's got rubber nose.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
And is that why he has OCD or hypochondria or whatever it is? Whatever.
Hot Dog
Germaphobia.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
It destroyed the part of his brain that was okay with germs.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, if we could all do that.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'd love that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
If I were to psychoanalyze him.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It'd be a. Through an enthroned psychologist for a moment, I believe. My theory is that he put surgical gloves on his head so much much. Gave himself a terrible injury and then knew he could never go near a surgical glove again. It made him terrified of germs.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Because is say he gets sick and he needs to go under the knife. He's so afraid of them, he'll never be able to do it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is that what you mean, the surgical gloves?
Scott Aukerman
Yes. Because, like, he. He's so afraid of germs, he doesn't want to get an infection. Because then he'll have to go to the doctor who's wearing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, it's because he can't wear surgical gloves.
Hot Dog
Oh.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And so he.
Scott Aukerman
So he can't perform operations.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, if you like.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think we've unpacked that.
Hot Dog
He has to think of his own skin as a pair of surgical gloves.
Scott Aukerman
I see.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Which no one should be forced to do.
Hot Dog
I've heard that he has a second home. His family lives in one home and he lives next door in a home that he keeps nice and tidy. And I think that's a wonderful idea.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, in a way, it's like just having your own bedroom. It's across the street.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is anyone allowed in the other home?
Scott Aukerman
I doubt it.
Hot Dog
What would be the point?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, really. Does he go into the point of.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Having a family, then? They don't see each other. They're just neighbors.
Hot Dog
I want to know if this entire house is meant to be the paragon of neatness and orderliness. I'd like to have a look at it and see if it really is. Is it really the family that's holding him back from keeping his house clean, or is it himself?
Scott Aukerman
Do you think you'll become a Howie Mandel watcher eventually instead of just a royal watcher?
Hot Dog
It's possible. I have to tell you, I've been, since the coronation, a bit bored with.
Jason Mantzoukas
The royals, I was going to say. Are there any, like. You've also, it seems like, been spending quite a lot of time stateside here. Have you found any local people to decide to get into? It sounds like you're getting.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, Howie Mandel is kind of the king of comedy.
Hot Dog
American royalty, as close as it comes. Used to be the Kennedies, but I'm afraid the crown is rather charming. Yes. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Careful, you're talking about someone from the comedy community.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who are you?
Hot Dog
Oh, Cheryl Hines husband.
Scott Aukerman
Yes. We. We protect our own.
Hot Dog
That's a bad idea. She doesn't disagree. She doesn't agree with him on everything. She's been very clear.
Scott Aukerman
She's okay with everything that's going on. Though currently it seems like she just.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Says, look, my husband and I, we're different people. We have different thoughts. He's insane. I'm not.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or maybe I'm just someone who loves being married to an insane person.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You don't both have to to be sane in order to be married.
Hot Dog
Right? Of course not.
Scott Aukerman
So. So, yeah. I mean, there's not been a lot going on. Byron there. I mean.
Hot Dog
Well, there wasn't for quite A while. And I. I began to get into. Well, Lloyd Webber and I have been heavily into competitive jigsaw. Puzzling sort of thing. Great. Yes, we've been doing that.
Scott Aukerman
Watching other people do it. Or doing it yourself?
Hot Dog
No, doing it ourselves.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All of it. I mean, we've. We've jigsawed against one another.
Jason Mantzoukas
Indeed.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Then we've teamed up to jigsaw against another team.
Scott Aukerman
Jigsaw against one another. Is it like someone puts down a piece and the other person just takes it out?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Out? Yeah, it's pretty much.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is it? And is there. Is there like a chess clock? You put a piece in, hit the clock, boom, boom.
Scott Aukerman
The other person just takes out. Throws it away.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Or you can't throw it away. You don't do that with chess.
Scott Aukerman
Puts it in the. In the pieces and mixes them up.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, but you. You are. Then you put in a piece. It cannot be the same piece.
Scott Aukerman
Different piece.
Hot Dog
Very interesting.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, this is. This sounds fascinating.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We've also started watching all the Saw films together.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, they're amazing.
Hot Dog
Oh, that jigsaw.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What will he get up to next? He's cheeky.
Hot Dog
I know, I know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cheeky monkey.
Scott Aukerman
Saw one through eight and then Jigsaw and then Saw X.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
Interesting. So how far have you gotten into the jigsaw films?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Hot Dog
How many are there?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think we're halfway through. There's 10.
Hot Dog
About halfway through. But you know what? I messed up. And I watched the most recent one after watching the second.
Scott Aukerman
Chronologically, it comes in between one and two.
Hot Dog
So it does, but I watched it between two and three.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, Byron.
Hot Dog
I know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Why didn't you tell me?
Hot Dog
Well, I felt ashamed.
Scott Aukerman
How did you guys get into this? Did someone say, do you want to play a game? Referring to puzzles. And the other person said, oh, the.
Hot Dog
Saw films happened rather organically.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, it did.
Hot Dog
I said, I'm such a huge fan of jigsaws. And you said, well, then we should watch this. And then. And you were a bit confused.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Hot Dog
And I've had meant the jigsaw puzzle and you had meant the jigsaw character. And these are the sorts of things we get up to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was a real. Chocolate and peanut butter.
Hot Dog
Very much so.
Scott Aukerman
Are you living together or.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We're living now. We have houses next door to one another. Oh, okay.
Hot Dog
Well, you know, it's just the way I want it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I had a spot of bother recently.
Scott Aukerman
You don't say.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
There was a poltergeist in my home.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. I had to hire an exorcist. Here's what would happen. I would be in my home, and then, you know, I have scripts lying around, and then I would go into. I would.
Hot Dog
I would leave a room.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Go into a room, and then the script would be in a neat pile. Can you imagine anything more chilling than that?
Scott Aukerman
It sounds to me like Byron was coming over and visiting and just like, rearranging.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is that so?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well.
Hot Dog
I was ashamed and didn't want. I have a thing for neatening up. I just do.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, I. I do appreciate it, but I did. I am terrified of the supernatural. So I did call an exorcist to come in, and I shouldn't have given him the credit. I suppose it was Byron doing this all along.
Hot Dog
No, no, no. Give him the credit because he did ask me to stop coming into your house unannounced.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But I did find that he. After the fact, he was the worst exorcist I could have hired.
Scott Aukerman
No, the exorcist from hell.
Jason Mantzoukas
Because he put a. He put something in there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, he's just incompetent. Oh, okay. I. I looked in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, we know that guy.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I know someone who works.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's the least successful exorcist.
Scott Aukerman
The least success.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Usually they give you Padre Davide benvenuto. Oh, that guy.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, we. Our friend was talking about him.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's actually caused more people to become possessed than he has exorcised demons.
Hot Dog
Remarkable.
Scott Aukerman
He's in the book. Do you know. Have you ever met this person that we're talking about?
Hot Dog
Either of you? I do think so.
Scott Aukerman
Fred Guinness.
Hot Dog
Oh, Fred Guinness. I think I have met Fred.
Scott Aukerman
You have met Fred Guinness?
Hot Dog
I do, but quite.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, well, he was over the phone. He lives in Ireland.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't think I've met him, have I?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, we could. We could call.
Scott Aukerman
Fred gets to call him.
Jason Mantzoukas
He always takes the call.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Let me. Let me see if I can hear. Okay, let me. I'm dialing the phone. Why are you saying beep boop while I'm dialing the phone?
Jason Mantzoukas
I was nervous the. The listener wouldn't know that we were making.
Scott Aukerman
They're hearing it as I call. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I thought you were trying to fill time in the silence.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, in between the real. You were pressing buttons and the no beeps was happening in my cans. So I was like the listeners just hearing.
Scott Aukerman
The listeners are hearing it. They're just not great. Sorry, let me press the last number. Okay. It's ringing. It's ringing. Still ringing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Go for Guinness.
Scott Aukerman
Hi, Fred.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Scotty.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hey, Guinness.
Scott Aukerman
What's Going on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is that Jason?
Scott Aukerman
I hear Jason's here with me.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Jason.
Scott Aukerman
Hello. Guess who else is here. Is this what?
Hot Dog
I.
Scott Aukerman
I don't remember.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Maybe I sound more like this.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who else is there? Who else you got?
Scott Aukerman
Byron Dennison is here.
Jason Mantzoukas
Byron.
Hot Dog
Royal watcher.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Nice. Nice to make your acquaintance again, Byron.
Hot Dog
Lovely.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Now, what's going on, guys?
Scott Aukerman
Well, we also have someone else here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who?
Scott Aukerman
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hello.
Scott Aukerman
Are you in the book? Andrew Lloyd Weber? I would think you would be. Most successful?
Hot Dog
Longest running.
Jason Mantzoukas
Longest running show, maybe.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I did hold that record for quite a while. A while. For Les Mis.
Hot Dog
Wonderful. I love his Les Miz as much. That's your. That's my favorite of your shows. Andrew Lloyd.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's not one of mine.
Scott Aukerman
What about Sweeney Todd? I love Sweeney Todd, is one of my favorites.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Not one of mine.
Scott Aukerman
Seems like it should be, though. It's so popular.
Jason Mantzoukas
Assassins?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's not one of mine.
Hot Dog
The Color Purple.
Scott Aukerman
No.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Have any of you heard of Bleeding Cats?
Scott Aukerman
Bleeding Cats.
Jason Mantzoukas
Bleeding Cats. I'd love to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I do. I regretted it as soon as it was out of my mouth. Hi.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, hello.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's a pleasure to meet you. Well, the pleasure is mine. You're a lord. Yes, I am, but not the Lord. I'm not religious. So. Yeah. You do hold the record for most successful person to have an absolute flop on Broadway. Don't remind me. And everyone.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my God. We're talking about Bad Cinderella. Cinderella, that's correct.
Hot Dog
What was so bad about her?
Scott Aukerman
Ticket sales.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Very funny.
Scott Aukerman
Well, when you call something bad, whatever, it's. It just inviting those kind of headlines is a risk.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But if it's successful, then of course you get the reviews that say Bad Cinderella is anything but.
Scott Aukerman
That's true. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's what you hope for.
Hot Dog
Yes, that's what they were hoping for. I believe, with Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Beneath the Planet the Apes is above the Planet of the Apes as far as this critic is concerned.
Scott Aukerman
What a great headline, but it certainly never materialized. Yeah, yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Planet of the Apes now holds the record for most movies.
Hot Dog
Oh, really?
Scott Aukerman
Yep. Just across the entire franchise.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Across all movies.
Scott Aukerman
Across all movies, yeah.
Hot Dog
The majority of films concern Planets of the Apes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No.
Scott Aukerman
Or planets themselves.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't really parse these things. It's just most movies.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. Interesting.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Are you sure that's what I sound like?
Scott Aukerman
I don't know.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm wavering on it, but I'm gonna go with it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I didn't know I was gonna get this call today, so I didn't really bone up on my own voice.
Scott Aukerman
Do you have to go? I'll ask Jimmy or.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, shimmy there.
Scott Aukerman
Well, he's somewhere around here along with August.
Hot Dog
You should have put your phone on. Do not disturb Fred Guinness.
Scott Aukerman
Augie Dog. Oh, I, I almost said Hot Dog. I did not do that. Wait.
Jason Mantzoukas
It'S so early to have this.
Scott Aukerman
Many people here, Hot Dog. I, I sort of. I didn't say what's up, Hot Dog. That would have. Oh, no, it's the Hot Dog Doppler effect.
Jason Mantzoukas
He's phasing in and out.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no, he's here. Fred, I think we have to go. We have to talk to Hot Dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, bye.
Jason Mantzoukas
That was the voice.
Hot Dog
I came here to talk to Fred G. Oh, no.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, no.
Scott Aukerman
He just hung up.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He was just on the phone.
Hot Dog
Oh, well, I'll catch up with him later.
Scott Aukerman
I, I Hot Dog, before you go and I, we do have to take a break in a second, but I, I did. Anything going on with Sean Anaha?
Hot Dog
Oh, yeah, it's a lot going on.
Scott Aukerman
What's going on?
Hot Dog
Well, you know, Shouting out called it quits, but I got in touch with Screaming Scott Simon and Johnny.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah, they called it quits. There's no more Shannon.
Scott Aukerman
Well, you go to their website and that it just. There's a big announcement there.
Hot Dog
They have.
Scott Aukerman
We broke the news on this very podcast.
Hot Dog
Yeah, they have tour dates.
Scott Aukerman
I don't think anyone went on that website until we actually broke the news.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think this is. This technically is the Foremost Shanana podcast, in instance.
Hot Dog
Yeah, I got. I better. I gotta hope so are, Are you.
Scott Aukerman
Doing a Sha not recap podcast?
Hot Dog
No, I do a podcast called A Skiing and a rockin or something like that. But we talk about Shannon there quite a lot. But it's not really a Sha and I podcast.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Have you thought about doing a Sha. Excuse me, Shannon podcast called Are you nanang my sh?
Hot Dog
Are you nanang my Sh? Yeah, I mean, I haven't thought about it, but I'm thinking about it now.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But I ask.
Hot Dog
Well, here's what I've said to Screaming Scott Simon. I said, hey, can I buy the name Sean Onna from you?
Scott Aukerman
It's just lying fallow.
Hot Dog
Operate as Sean on. Yeah, yeah, that was my plan and we're talking about it. He wants $10 million. It's a lot of money, and I don't know how I'm going to scrape that together, but that's what I wanted to talk to Fred Guinness about.
Scott Aukerman
What if you just called it something similar? But, but you know, without the confusion in the marketplace that would lead to people thinking you're trying to, you know, something like sh.
Hot Dog
How would you spell it?
Scott Aukerman
Shaw. N U H. Dash U H. Probably. Nuh.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wait, wait, wait. What have you put the emphasis on the middle now?
Hot Dog
Shanana.
Scott Aukerman
Shanana.
Hot Dog
Still spell it the same way.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Let's go, girls.
Hot Dog
I think that's a good idea. And you could capitalize that a right so that people know that that's what it is.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Put it in italics.
Hot Dog
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
What if you did that? Sang Shania Twain songs in the style of Shanan? It was Shanana Twain.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. It's like a Dread Zeppelin. Yes, exactly.
Hot Dog
Oh, those guys were great.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They really were. I have all the records.
Jason Mantzoukas
That was like a re. They had a real moment for what they were.
Hot Dog
Did, man.
Scott Aukerman
They played the Palace.
Hot Dog
Hot Damn Tamale Ahab. Remember, their Moby kick was great. They were a legit reggae band. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It shouldn't have worked, but it did.
Scott Aukerman
It did.
Hot Dog
Did Tor Telvis.
Jason Mantzoukas
And now here's my question. Did it really work?
Scott Aukerman
I can't believe we're all fans.
Jason Mantzoukas
We all know so much about Dread Zeppelin.
Scott Aukerman
If you're listening, we all love you.
Jason Mantzoukas
If you're a white guy in your 50s, you have a lot of sh. A lot of Dread Zeppelin information.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Tortelvis. Send us some T shirts.
Scott Aukerman
Torch Elvis, please.
Hot Dog
So.
Scott Aukerman
So $10 million. You don't know how you're gonna raise this. Oh, that's.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Do we want to put it out there to the listeners? Maybe the listeners can, like, you know, send 5, $10 or maybe even 10 million.
Jason Mantzoukas
That would be gofundme.
Hot Dog
That would be great. Yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Especially the 10 million part. Yeah.
Hot Dog
If somebody would. If I set up a Gofundme and somebody just sends $10 million to it, that would be ideal. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What do you. Would you have any stretch goals?
Hot Dog
Oh, like beyond the 10 million? Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. And I would give it all to Screaming Scott. I would. Whatever above. 10 million also goes to Screaming Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
And Donnie, of course. But.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, that's Screaming Scott.
Hot Dog
What?
Scott Aukerman
That's between. Scott.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can I pitch a In line with Dread Zeppelin?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A when you in line, I got excited. I thought we were going to talk about Star. Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
Inline skates.
Jason Mantzoukas
I saw it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I saw that.
Jason Mantzoukas
I saw that show in high school.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Fantastic. A. A A reggae version of Shannon called Janana.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, Janana.
Hot Dog
You know me. I say I like that a lot.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
You like this. I do.
Hot Dog
You know, I followed Harry And Megan down to Jamaica for the premiere of One Love and.
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Hot Dog
Was wonderful. And I did. I unscrewed the seat and turned it around and watched them watch it and they loved it. And so, yes, I'm a fan of this reggae and all that.
Scott Aukerman
And a fan of Shannon. Or do you not have any idea? They're Americana.
Hot Dog
Fine. But for that to be.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Hot Dog
What did you say?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They're not Americana.
Scott Aukerman
Well, what do you consider Americana?
Hot Dog
Well, they're the number one interpreters of American rock and roll.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Americana is. Is roots music.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's murder ballads and stuff.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I consider the 50s to be sort of Americana. Wouldn't you?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. What's the cut off?
Hot Dog
Well, you.
Jason Mantzoukas
I. I don't.
Hot Dog
The 50s took place all over the world.
Scott Aukerman
That's a good point. Not just here in America.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You can't get one over on Hot Dog. May I propose? Okay. Dread Zeppelin had. It had the reggae thing. Yeah. It had the Elvis thing and it had the Zeppelin things. Three things.
Jason Mantzoukas
Three things.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Three things. So if Janan has reggae.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It has Shannon.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Which is like doo wop, kind of that rock and roll.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What if it's also so. A little further in the future.
Hot Dog
Olies.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So it's Jana, Nana, hey, hey, hey, Goodbye.
Scott Aukerman
Yes. Is that Gary Glitter?
Hot Dog
But no, thank God.
Scott Aukerman
Thank God.
Jason Mantzoukas
But the tune is. Is a reggae version of it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
Hot Dog
I'm not following.
Scott Aukerman
It's.
Hot Dog
It's reggae and Shanana and you'll see that one song.
Scott Aukerman
One song.
Hot Dog
Stadium Number One. Something like that. Is that what it's called?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Stadium Number One.
Jason Mantzoukas
Very good.
Scott Aukerman
I think Banana Rama also did that song.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow. And this leads us directly into the Minions, I believe.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Kevin, you're a big minions. I love the musicians.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's a musical for you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I've been trying to get the property.
Jason Mantzoukas
Really?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They won't. They want $10 million.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow.
Scott Aukerman
We need to do two competing GoFundMes.
Hot Dog
In what universe? I'm sorry? Are the Minions worth the same amount as the name Sha. Give me a break. Give me a break.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm going to call them. Here's my way around it. I'm going to call them the Munions. And I'm going to make them oblong horizontally instead of vertically.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, so they're just. They're. They're wider than they are tall.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. They still look like pill but pills.
Jason Mantzoukas
On their side instead of like standing tall. Mike and Ies. They are on their side.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Mike and.
Scott Aukerman
Well, most Mike and Ikes. And pills are horizontal. It's very hard to get them to be vertical.
Hot Dog
Almost impossible.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly. So mine just makes more sense.
Hot Dog
Yes, it does. What color are they going to be?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Mustard.
Jason Mantzoukas
So a darker yellow, like a fancy mustard seeds. Oh, have you any grapey pun?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Of course I do.
Hot Dog
And so instead of eating bananas, they'll eat lots and lots of mustard.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly.
Hot Dog
I like it better.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
There will be pots of mustard all about the stage.
Hot Dog
That's wonderful.
Scott Aukerman
But you can never see if they make a mess because they are mustard colored themselves.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Indeed. And we will sell mustard at the interval. Oh, really?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, there will be intervals.
Jason Mantzoukas
Smart.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. Instead of gin and tonic, you can get a pot of mustard.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Jason Mantzoukas
A pot. A pot.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A four pot. It's a pot of mustard.
Jason Mantzoukas
I love it.
Hot Dog
May I propose a gin and mustard?
Scott Aukerman
Good.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Now you've got me thinking.
Scott Aukerman
This might be the official drink of comedy. Bang bang. Gin and mustard, neat. Celebrate 850 episodes.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'll have a gin and mustard on the rocks.
Scott Aukerman
Well, look, guys, we. We need to take a break, if that's okay. But who's sticking around? Hot dog, can you stick around?
Hot Dog
I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
And Byron, obviously you. You'll still be here because we have much to talk about.
Hot Dog
Indeed.
Scott Aukerman
And Andrew Lloyd Weber, you can still be here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
You don't know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, I may have to leave.
Scott Aukerman
You may have to. I under. I totally understand if you have to. This is 850 episodes. People come and go as they please.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, indeed.
Scott Aukerman
And of course, so strangely drove a.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Double decker bus here. And.
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I have to feed my meter.
Scott Aukerman
And then you're. You're on the top. You. You extended that steering wheel all the way.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
All the way to the top 10.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's a devil's drive.
Scott Aukerman
You're like Hightower in the Police Academy films. Like taking out the front seat.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're not the first to say that.
Scott Aukerman
All right, we need to take a break. Jason, you'll still be here. When we come back, we'll have more from Byron Denniston, maybe more from Hot Dog. I don't know if Shimmy and August are still around. Fred. Fred Guinness is on the.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who knows?
Scott Aukerman
Who knows what's going on?
Hot Dog
I had to go, so. No.

Comedy Bang Bang. We're back. We have Jason MANZUKA and celebrating 850 episodes of what?
Hot Dog
Though you haven't said of what.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no, of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. The podcast you're on right now.
Hot Dog
Understood.
Scott Aukerman
Do you know that you're on a podcast right now called Comedy Bang Bang?
Hot Dog
Not entirely, no. But now that you've said it, it makes sense. Everyone keeps saying speak to the microphone.
Scott Aukerman
Honestly, I'm not saying it enough for an episode of Comedy Bank. You're not hearing any dings too. That may be what's throwing you off.
Hot Dog
Dings? No, no dings.
Scott Aukerman
Normally on Comedy Bangmag we have dings where I get a choice to learn.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, nothing but dings. This show has lately just become nothing but dings.
Scott Aukerman
And Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber had to leave apparently. But hot dog, are you still here?
Hot Dog
I'm still here. I don't know how I get unsummoned.
Scott Aukerman
You know what I mean? We have to say your name backwards.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All right?
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, like Mr.
Scott Aukerman
Mix Up Mixelplix.
Jason Mantzoukas
Mr. Mixelplix.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. It's hard enough to say his name forward.
Jason Mantzoukas
It is.
Scott Aukerman
Like, what, am I gonna start saying that guy's name backwards? How would you exactly. But Byron, tell us. I wanted to ask you about something because it just made the news recently and it sort of piqued my interest. But. But there is something going on with the royals.
Hot Dog
Oh, indeed.
Scott Aukerman
Some sort of hospital stay for two of the royals.
Hot Dog
Oh, indeed.
Scott Aukerman
Fill me in. What exactly is happening?
Hot Dog
Well, all right. So you know, I Noticed things were rather quiet amongst the royals. You know, it sort of seems as though. As though Harry and Meghan had sort of gone off and done their thing and whatnot. And the Queen Elizabeth is doing a very good job of keeping a low profile and staying in hiding.
Scott Aukerman
A few people have seen her like the Loch Ness monster here and there.
Hot Dog
Right, right. But she's really kept a low. Prof. And.
Jason Mantzoukas
Scott, what are you doing?
Scott Aukerman
I don't know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Get to turn the dings off.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry, I'm just trying so many things. Trying to turn these dings off, but. So, yeah, there have been a few sightings, like Bigfoot or what have you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
What is this?
Hot Dog
Scott, you really need to turn off these things. Oh, for heaven's sake.
Jason Mantzoukas
What are you getting? What message is that?
Scott Aukerman
What this is?
Jason Mantzoukas
What message do you get that has a choo choo?
Scott Aukerman
I seriously think it's on. Do not disturb. I don't know what's happening right here. I don't know what that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, that one was suspenseful.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry. These are.
Hot Dog
Have you updated to the new operating system?
Scott Aukerman
August, you're back.
Hot Dog
Yeah, yeah, I can give you help.
Scott Aukerman
Thank God, because I. I honestly don't know what I'm doing.
Hot Dog
You gotta press focus.
Scott Aukerman
Focus.
Jason Mantzoukas
Did you work in the IT department at Schneiderberg Pretzels?
Hot Dog
Briefly, Yeah, I did, you know, because I was on suspension.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, they're. Oh, yeah.
Hot Dog
Suspended me from Sold.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know what's happening. I don't know who's trying to contact. Contact me here.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Wait, wait. Can I just read my messages. Fine.
Hot Dog
Who's messaging you?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, it's this guy. I know this guy. His. His name is.
Hot Dog
It doesn't come up there on the message.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I just. I know him by a different name. I know him by his nickname, but, uh, uh, this guy, the Grizzly, it's trying to mess.
Hot Dog
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, we all know him.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, no, no.
Hot Dog
Whatever. The Grizz.
Scott Aukerman
From what?
Hot Dog
Oh, no, no.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I think he. I need to unlock the door. Sorry, the Grizz has been trying to get in.
Hot Dog
Don't unlock the door. Don't unlock it. Actually, keep it locked.
Scott Aukerman
I need to unlock the gates. Unlike this is the anti. Wtf. I need to unlock the gates. Here, let me just. God.
Hot Dog
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow.
Hot Dog
Oh, no, it just got.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, guys.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just got dark out.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, well, well, as I live and breathe.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry, guys, this is my friend Greg.
Hot Dog
It's me, Greg, in it. Yes, Mr. Mallet, aka the Grizz.
Scott Aukerman
You know each other?
Hot Dog
Oh, yes. We've had innumerable dealings where the Grizz and I. Here and there and all around. Matter of fact, you know, there was a time when he and I were the same lady. Lady Amelia Spencer, in fact. And I'm sorry to say that since the last time we've spoken to you, they have, in fact, become married.
Jason Mantzoukas
Whoa.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Congrats.
Hot Dog
They've known. Run.
Scott Aukerman
Congrats, Greg.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Thank you. Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
That's so. I mean, I didn't know. I. I didn't get an invite, I guess.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I didn't either.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No.
Jason Mantzoukas
And we've met a bunch of times.
Scott Aukerman
You guys met, too.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I forgot that you invite everybody you've ever met to your wedding.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think so. I think that's how it works.
Scott Aukerman
If. If you had to, it would probably be, what, like, 500 people tops, right?
Jason Mantzoukas
Max?
Hot Dog
I did HBO.
Scott Aukerman
Max.
Hot Dog
I did invite HBO.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Max. He's my. He's my mate. What has HBO.
Hot Dog
I. I was at the wedding, of course. At Grizz's behest. I was compelled to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I made him watch.
Scott Aukerman
Did you get to object?
Jason Mantzoukas
No.
Hot Dog
No. Oh, no. Not only was I made to watch.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I. I dared him to object.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I.
Hot Dog
The vicar.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Take a big, long pose.
Hot Dog
Well, he made me be the ring.
Jason Mantzoukas
Did he make you turn your seat around to face everybody?
Hot Dog
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Away from the bride.
Hot Dog
Oh, no.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I could see the tears streaming down his face.
Hot Dog
It was just. The entire day was devoted to humiliating me. The number of references and the vows that they wrote, the two of them, to me, was striking.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
People cry.
Hot Dog
I think they were crying in sympathy with me.
Scott Aukerman
In fact.
Hot Dog
It was so sad.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, I mean, they were crying, laughing. It.
Hot Dog
They'd never seen anyone so horribly defeated and humiliated.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was.
Hot Dog
It was really an entire wedding weekend devoted to humiliating me. I had to serve drinks at the cocktail affair.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow. So you were, like, employed.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Hot Dog
But not for money. Just to avoid being whipped. It was terrible.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Several wardrobe changes throughout the day.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like what? Like silly, silly clothes. What were they? What were they?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Depending on your occupation, of course. First, yeah, A lovely little pinafore. When he brought the ring down the aisle.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, so you were really integrated into the ceremony?
Hot Dog
Very much so.
Scott Aukerman
Almost where it was more about you than it was about the couple.
Hot Dog
It's certainly how it felt to me. He had to give a best man speech that I wrote without the luxury of being the best man, even. But, yes, I had to give a best man speech, and he wrote it, and it was only full of insults toward myself.
Jason Mantzoukas
I wish we had that.
Scott Aukerman
I'm so sorry, but this is now remind reminding me you guys have been on the show together a few times. Yes, my friend Greg has been. Yeah, I got to know you through this show.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, we're friends. We like each other.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, we like each other. Right?
Hot Dog
Yeah, of course.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Remarkable how anyone could like Greg Mallet. The Grizz.
Jason Mantzoukas
Come on man, he's the Grizz. I've only met him a couple times here at the show, but the dude's a blast.
Scott Aukerman
He's a water polo champion.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Nobody beats the Grizz.
Jason Mantzoukas
Nobody beats the Grizz. You know, that's the T shirt.
Hot Dog
I'm sorry, but that is true. You know, he is a water polo inspector.
Jason Mantzoukas
Inspector?
Scott Aukerman
Wait, did you did get a promotion?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is that a. Is that a department of the British police?
Hot Dog
It's.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's under the ages of the crowd.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, is it the Ministry of Water Polo?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's right.
Hot Dog
Wow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Are you looking at the new minister?
Hot Dog
Her Majest.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
His Majesty's new Minister of Water Polo. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Congratulations.
Jason Mantzoukas
So are you in charge of water polo or inspecting water polo based crimes?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Like ncis?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Both. I'll look around a water polo blow pitch and I'll say look, ship shape to me, okay. And then somebody says, so play on. There's been a murder. We suspect water polo foul play.
Hot Dog
By waterfowl.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sometimes.
Hot Dog
Sometimes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Then I have to consult me old mate Shedley. Sully Sullenberger.
Scott Aukerman
Wait, you don't you know Sully Sully?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Course I do. Hero of the arts.
Hot Dog
And he is.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
So if you have some sort of goose related problem. Indeed. You got.
Scott Aukerman
How often is it a goose related related problem?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Four out of five.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I would think so.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you've got his number.
Scott Aukerman
Wy creatures.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Geese hate people.
Scott Aukerman
We. We were talking. We're talking about Sly on a recent episode about how what people don't know about that miracle on the Hudson is every single people, every single person, every single people, every single person, every single soul that he saved had to get one of their limbs amputated, if not both. Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was so cold that they lost their feet. The frost bite, didn't they?
Hot Dog
So cold in the Hudson. Yes. But you'd rather be them than the geese.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I dare say.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. In any case, I'm so sorry. I didn't. I did. I didn't remember, honestly, that there was some drama between you two guys in.
Hot Dog
The article, by the way, about your wedding. Grizz, you are mentioned as not in this article. As an inspector or instructor of water polo, but as a lifestyle coach. What is that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You don't know what that is? Or in need of a lifestyle coach, like, oh, that would be great.
Scott Aukerman
Would you take on Byron as a client course?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would.
Hot Dog
Really?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'll be glad to.
Hot Dog
What would you do for me? I think my lifestyle is wonderful.
Scott Aukerman
Can I talk to you for a second? Yeah. Jason and I want to talk to you. Hold on, Greg. I'll. I'll be right with you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'll just be over here in this puddle. Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Byron.
Hot Dog
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Here's an opportunity for you.
Hot Dog
What sort of an opportunity?
Scott Aukerman
Hire him as your lifestyle coach. Yes. Yes. And then he'll teach you about his lifestyle, and you can just take his place.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh.
Scott Aukerman
Once he gives you all of the secrets.
Hot Dog
And I call Rick Baker and I can make myself look like.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, now, hang on, hang on. This did not go well, though. I don't know that that's the answer.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, you're gonna start as a rib and then an ape, and then who else?
Hot Dog
Does this work? Because I should look like the Grizz, shouldn't I?
Scott Aukerman
Honestly, Rick Baker is the only pull I have, so I don't know who else does it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sorry. Oh, just passing by. I'm Greg Nicotero. I was just. Oh, Greg.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, from the water.
Scott Aukerman
Not you, Greg. Not you, Greg.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, I heard people talking about special effects makeup, and I thought.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, yes. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't think about you, Greg.
Jason Mantzoukas
Incredible. Greg Nicotera from the Walking Dead, from countless other incredible productions.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
To mention.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Greg, may I ask you, did you see the gentleman sitting next to Andrew Lloyd Webber at the Coronation of the Queen?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. That was you, right?
Hot Dog
Isn't that amazing? Give me your critique of that makeup work.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, it sort of looked like, to me that you were trying to let people know you were wearing a disguise.
Hot Dog
See, I wasn't at all.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It wasn't. It didn't look very natural. It looked so cartoonish, and it just seemed like. Well, no actual human being looks like that.
Hot Dog
Wow, look at that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You know, it was almost a Tony Clifton.
Scott Aukerman
What would you have done differently?
Hot Dog
No, but that was a real person. Tony Clifton was a real person.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
What would you have done differently, though? He's still around.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I guess that's true. Yeah. I. I would have. I would have done a shorter wig. I would have done a more human.
Scott Aukerman
It was like a mob, wasn't it? Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
It was like a Dutch boy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would have done a more human scaled mustache and probably you know, glasses that you can wear at night. You know, like see through glasses as opposed to those tinted frames. You wore tinted glasses that look like.
Hot Dog
They'Re there to hide. Sort of a Paul job on the eyes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Really looked like Tony Clifton really did. Yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
The powder blue tuxedo that didn't help doing those jokes.
Jason Mantzoukas
My only concern, I'll be honest for. For you Greg was do would be in. In in transforming Byron into. And again, I don't think the Grizz is listing the Grizz.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, no, he's in the.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Would he splash on?
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. Oh nice. The Grizz is in the pool.
Scott Aukerman
Oh hey, hot dog. I forgot you were here.
Hot Dog
That's a real good song.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, Splish splash you were. That's a shout out from the 50s.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Now a reggae version of that song would be pretty dope.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Splish splash.
Hot Dog
Oh man.
Jason Mantzoukas
Let him keep working it out.
Scott Aukerman
We'll just be in the corner too.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
My only concern would be like that he would look too maybe like a zombie. Like a zombie.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. You're no zombie work. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It is true that it's hard for me to break out of the zombie habit and. And you know I. I did a photo shoot recently for. For a friend of mine and I unfortunately made her look like a zombie. And it was. It was not a zombie.
Jason Mantzoukas
It was like a. Supposed to be.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was a glamorous. Yeah, yeah.
Hot Dog
But you know, if I. All right, let's plan this out because if I. If I learned the Grizz's lifestyle to the degree that I am the Grizz to my bones and then I'm made up to look like the Grizz. But a zombie version of him. That might return to my benefit if Lady Amelia Spencer was believes that the Grizz is now half dead.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Hot Dog
Or sort of un.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're going to have to stage at the point where you get rid of the Grizz and introduce yourself. You're going to have to stage some sort of event that leads people to believe he is dead.
Scott Aukerman
Or you're going to need a lot.
Jason Mantzoukas
Of or has been bitten by a zombie.
Scott Aukerman
A lot of background artists. Maybe the Scrooge Gang gets, you know, as part of this, you know, Scrooge Gang. Oh yeah, you've heard of the, you.
Hot Dog
Know, the Scrooge Gang.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
There's a famous famous.
Jason Mantzoukas
A famous gang of. Of ne of their heists are the miss.
Scott Aukerman
I think everybody.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Scrooge Gang.
Scott Aukerman
I think this is a good Idea.
Hot Dog
I think it's a really good idea. Yes, yes. So I think I have him bitten by someone else in zombie.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes. Or like a rabid dog or just something that you could put, you know, like point to and be like, oh, this is now happening.
Hot Dog
Right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can you. Can you do an impression of his voice? And here's why I asked, because first I would. I would. You know, as I'm applying the makeup, I would. I would have you be in a room and just keep calling out from the room to. To the woman that you want to marry. Lady.
Hot Dog
Yes, yes, yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Saying like, don't come in here. I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe we should hear if you can do a Grizz impression.
Hot Dog
All right, let me try.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, well, well. As I live and breathe.
Scott Aukerman
All right.
Hot Dog
Not.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, it's a little more horse than he is, a little deeper, but that's like dead on in cadence and everything.
Scott Aukerman
Especially if you're doing someone who's sick, you know, saying like, don't.
Jason Mantzoukas
That. That is actually.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I take it back.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's a perfect zombie.
Scott Aukerman
Try. Don't come in here. I'm sick.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay. Don't come in here. I'm sick. Wow.
Hot Dog
Is that all right?
Jason Mantzoukas
It's pretty good, actually. Very, shockingly, very good.
Scott Aukerman
Do you do impressions? Do you do.
Hot Dog
Anyone else do lots of impressions?
Scott Aukerman
Who else do you do?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Do you do.
Hot Dog
I do a pretty mean Fred Guinness.
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't know if Fred does a pretty mean.
Scott Aukerman
I don't think this today to find out what. What about Bill Paxton? Do you do Bill Paxton? Naturally. Here, let's hear some of that.
Hot Dog
Hey, it's me, Bill Paxton. You're listening to krock.
Scott Aukerman
Byron Paxton.
Jason Mantzoukas
And Byron Denison knows all about Kron.
Hot Dog
Yeah, only when I'm channeling Mr. Paxton.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That was really good.
Hot Dog
Thank you very much. Nick, is it? Nick, what's your name? Greg.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Greg Nicotero. It's Italian for cigarettes.
Hot Dog
Is it really?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Do you come from a big cigarettes family or.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah.
Hot Dog
Oh, really?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Big cigarettes family where you make them.
Scott Aukerman
Or you just smoke them?
Jason Mantzoukas
Not those small French ones.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Big.
Jason Mantzoukas
Big cigarettes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Big cigarettes. My family makes them. Smoke some. They used to make the candy cigarettes before cancel culture set in. They can't make any candy cigarettes.
Hot Dog
Oh, Fred Guinness would tell you all about it. They can't put the guy with the millions of cigarettes. Cigarettes in his mouth in the. In the building.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. You know, there was a. There was a lot of stuff going on with Fred Guinness, by the way, recently, about the the oldest dog. I want. I wish I had.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, I heard about that.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe I should call him up. Sure. Okay. Here, let me stop saying people.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm really. I'm compelled to do it.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, he's. It's ringing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You got Fred? That's what I said.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, Fred.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right? Said Fred.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Got it. Chase.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, guess who else is here?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who?
Scott Aukerman
Hot dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot. How's it going, hd?
Jason Mantzoukas
Byron Denison. Still here.
Hot Dog
Hi, B. I'm still here. Do you want to hear my impression of you?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, okay.
Hot Dog
Here it is.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is this what I sound like?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I don't know. That one's not as good.
Hot Dog
Right.
Scott Aukerman
What's weird is you did the phone filter. It was crazy.
Hot Dog
It's very hard to do it to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Someone, you know, for all I know, that could be a perfect person.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, that's true. All right, we also have. Greg Nicotero is here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hi. Hi, Fred. All right, Greg. Cigarettes.
Scott Aukerman
Greg Cigarettes. And my other friend Greg is in the. Is still in the corner. I wanted to ask you about the. The recent news about the oldest dog. There's a lot of controversy. What is going on here?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, Bobby was.
Hot Dog
He was the oldest dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But then it turns out he might not have been that old. He just looked like shit.
Scott Aukerman
That's the excuse I give, by the way, about myself.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, his owner was sort of embarrassed.
Scott Aukerman
By him, and so he said, oh, the oldest dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's that?
Scott Aukerman
That should be.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That should be a reggae. Yeah, the guy was embarrassed because they would say, oh, your dog. And he would say, hey, don't be mean. He's very old. Old.
Scott Aukerman
And then it just. It just snowballed. Yeah. You know, you tell a lie and.
Hot Dog
Then you, you know, you got to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Keep building on it.
Scott Aukerman
So are you rescinding the award? What's what exactly?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't give a friend care.
Scott Aukerman
You used to care about this stuff so much.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's a dog. I mean, is there another dog that's going to be upset?
Scott Aukerman
Do you know what I mean? This dog doesn't even know he has.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A record and he's dead.
Scott Aukerman
True, true.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You know who was the previous oldest dog?
Scott Aukerman
Who was that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Bluey. Bluey.
Jason Mantzoukas
Really?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
There was a real blue. Respect my neck. Bluey.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, Bluey, the Australian dog was the oldest dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, that's right.
Hot Dog
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Gosh. Well, see you later.
Jason Mantzoukas
Clickbait.
Hot Dog
It's wonderful that he's.
Scott Aukerman
Don't have to do it along with.
Hot Dog
Available at all times.
Scott Aukerman
Well, he has nothing else to do. Do. I don't think he has a lot of friends.
Jason Mantzoukas
But so Greg, also, it's very late in Ireland. It must be the middle of the night for.
Hot Dog
Well, it's 5:00 o' clock somewhere.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I like.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, it's 5:00 clock right here. Actually, we're taping this at 5:00pm, right. So is this a plan? Do you want to be lifestyle coached by the Grizz?
Hot Dog
I think it's a perfect plan. It's. It's really the only reason.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then with Greg Nicotero's help, you can then segue into getting rid of the Grizz, taking his place and breaking boom. You're Lady Amelia's husband, just like you always wanted.
Hot Dog
I just have to figure out how to break a Jabric Baker.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But yes, if she can't love you, the Grizz as a zombie, then she's not worth being with anyway. Yeah, you don't stop loving someone just because they become a zombie.
Hot Dog
That's a very good point. That's beautiful.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Okay, so let's take a break. When we come back, I'll get the Grizz from out of the corner, Greg and Greg, can you stick around?
Jason Mantzoukas
That's Grizz in the corner.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Greg Nicotero. Can you stick around?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, that's me in the spotlight.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, great. And Byron, of course, I'm losing Byron. And then what about you, hot dog? Are you sticking around?
Hot Dog
Trying to keep up with you.
Scott Aukerman
And of course Jason will be here. All of these people will be back. We'll be right back with the 850th episode of Comedy Bang Bang right after this. You never hung up.

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

Yeah. And obviously we're Going to the UK.
Jason Mantzoukas
For a tour, I heard.
Scott Aukerman
What are the. Oh, we'll talk about that. And we also have. Hot Dog is here.
Hot Dog
Yep. I don't want to say the anymore.
Scott Aukerman
I understand. Hot Dog, are you losing passion for.
Jason Mantzoukas
Something like just the deadest of eyes while delivering that just absolutely soulless.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's the saddest thing I ever heard, Hot Dog.
Hot Dog
Well, I'm losing hope that I'll ever get that $10 million together and become shot on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You haven't even started to raise it yet, right? I just. I saw the Kickstarter or the. The GoFundMe. It's just. It just got put up. You already have a dollar.
Jason Mantzoukas
Make that money off of the back of Janana.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Make that money then.
Scott Aukerman
Then I think you've lost the passion for all things Sha Na Na.
Hot Dog
No, not really. You know, I'll get it. But once I see those dollars start to tick up people.
Scott Aukerman
Otherwise.
Hot Dog
Otherwise my heart will break and I won't be able to go on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You've already got $1. If you just for the next 10 million days is. If you get a dollar a day, you're all set.
Hot Dog
How many years is 10 million days?
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, three.
Scott Aukerman
I forgot somewhere around there four. You. You know who else should be in? Ja, by the way, I have another friend who is. Who is in a band who was kicked out of a band. Oh, my friend Cal was in the Sugar Hill Gang and yeah, he would be great. A great addition to Jeannana.
Hot Dog
Yeah, to John Ana, the Reggae Sha Na Na band.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, that does. Na na na na na na na na. Hey, hey. Goodbye.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, yeah.
Hot Dog
He can do a rock and roll number one. That's what it's called.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, right. He could do a rap in the middle of it, probably. He's a good rapper.
Hot Dog
Really?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, he was an original member of the Sugar Hill Gang. Wow.
Hot Dog
Can we get him here? Can you.
Scott Aukerman
Can you say do do do do.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Hot Dog
Dip.
Scott Aukerman
Do do do. Wow. There, see, it's back. Just be mentioning Kel.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm. Where am I?
Scott Aukerman
Did that make him appear?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What happened? I was. Holy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cal, what were you doing just now? I hope you weren't driving.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I was washing a mug in the sink.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. Oh, hell, that mug is probably.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Uhoh.
Scott Aukerman
So sorry.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was my favorite.
Scott Aukerman
What was on it?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Me. I got it done at the mall.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's so cool.
Scott Aukerman
We'll get you another one.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Please give it a thumbs up.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, very cool. Really cool.
Hot Dog
Is the dishwasher safe? Sorry.
Jason Mantzoukas
Go ahead.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What were you Gonna say, you know what?
Jason Mantzoukas
I think asking the important question, it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Might be, but I hand wash it just in case.
Hot Dog
That's smart.
Scott Aukerman
This is my friend, Hot Dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hi, Hot Dog.
Hot Dog
Hello.
Scott Aukerman
And my other friend, Byron.
Hot Dog
Yes, I'm here as well.
Scott Aukerman
Hi. Greg Nicotero.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hi, Greg.
Scott Aukerman
And my other friend Greg is in the corner.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hi, Greg. Corner, Greg.
Scott Aukerman
And. Well, we had a question for you. You've been practicing your rapping, obviously, every day. How's it been going?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Not good. Yeah, I figured I practice for several hours every day.
Hot Dog
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
And are you practicing all elements, writing the actual rapping and flowing.
Scott Aukerman
You don't like to write your raps?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I didn't think about writing them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I've just been. I thought you're just freestyle, whatever that means.
Scott Aukerman
Well, it's what the Sugar Hill Gang did at the barbecue you were at.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I thought that's how it worked. You just made it up as you go along.
Scott Aukerman
Right. When I say barbecue, you were at. You were hosting.
Hot Dog
Explain. You hosted a barbecue?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
And.
Hot Dog
And the Sugar Hill Gang paid.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, well, they, they. They didn't like the cooking so much that they started rapping about it.
Hot Dog
Oh, I see.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I came to realize much later that this seminal hit was Rapids Delight, was a diss track about my barbecue.
Hot Dog
Oh, no.
Scott Aukerman
Because it starts. What are the lyrics when it starts?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Have you ever been over a friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good?
Scott Aukerman
And we, we figured out that this was about Cal because he was hosting the barbecue.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And they were just doing this off the top of their head. And Cal thought that he was a member of the Sugar Hill Gang because.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I was there when they were doing.
Jason Mantzoukas
It, but they were in fact just roasting him.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. And then when he. When he said, hey, when are we getting together to put practice our raps?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, I showed up to the studio.
Hot Dog
Oh, man. I got to tell you this, really, it gets me in the heart. It gets me where I live.
Scott Aukerman
Right.
Jason Mantzoukas
I've had this is very Hot doggy.
Hot Dog
Well, I tried to be in Sha Nana for a long time.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow.
Hot Dog
And they, they had me audition over 50 times and always found some kind of fault with my audition. And what was the fault?
Scott Aukerman
Usually.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. What would they say?
Hot Dog
It was stuff like, you're. You're terrible, you can't sing. You would bring nothing to the group.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, that's direct.
Hot Dog
Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, listen, I give them credit for that. Go beat around the bush.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then remind me, what was Na Sha.
Hot Dog
Sha Naja. Sha was A group that I created one time when I gave hope on getting into Shasha, but that is defunct. Yeah, yeah. Nasha Shah turned out to be just nothing but fights. And those guys, I don't talk to those guys anymore.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Like if I went to the website it would just be no. No upcoming shows at Na Sha Sha. Yeah, yeah.
Hot Dog
No upcoming shows.
Scott Aukerman
So it's very. On a parallel track track with Shannon.
Hot Dog
Yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
With the websites with no upcoming shows.
Hot Dog
No upcoming shows for Shana.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Bowser is still doing a great. He's out there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
John Bowser Bauman.
Hot Dog
John Bowser Bauman.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, I loved him on Match Game.
Hot Dog
Oh really?
Scott Aukerman
He was the host of Match Game and then he was center square or.
Hot Dog
Something during that's Hollywood Squares.
Scott Aukerman
Well, they did the Match Game Hollywood Squares hour that he was part of both.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, that was a weird period.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Like a half hour in they would switch. Like suddenly the squares would. Would rise up from the ashes of Match Games. Literally. Yeah. It was like the Risers would rise up and become like a. A three by three Squares thing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That sounds.
Jason Mantzoukas
This episode is exclusively for people in their 50s. Every reference is from the 70s.
Scott Aukerman
Even older, quite honestly.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hey, you guys want to talk about. Hello, Larry.
Scott Aukerman
But the reason I got Some room for love, Sydney? Sure. The reason I. I guess we summoned you, Cal, is because Hot Dog has an exciting new project going on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh really?
Scott Aukerman
And we're wondering if maybe you want to add your talents to it. I mean it's.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Which ones?
Scott Aukerman
The. The rapping, mainly the musical talents.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh.
Hot Dog
But okay, we gotta eat too because.
Jason Mantzoukas
It'S a new get ready Cal. It's a new band.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm not much of a cook. I don't know if you heard this.
Scott Aukerman
Which are you worse at? Because no one's made a diss track about. About your rapping.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's true.
Scott Aukerman
So you're probably better rapper.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I guess so by default.
Hot Dog
You've had a few years to work on those barbecue skills.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I let them fat, I let them atrophy. I guess in pursuit of my rap dreams.
Hot Dog
After that bad feedback. Oh yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I guess I got kind of gun shy. So getting back in the kitchen, I get it.
Hot Dog
But yeah, this is a band for you. You're perfect for it because it really is. It's going to be a band made up of people who could not get in or stay in the band that they wanted to be in.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This sounds like a perfect fit.
Hot Dog
Yeah. And we're going to do reggae versions of classic American rock and roll songs and Gary Glitter.
Scott Aukerman
Glitter. Not Involved.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay. He's not.
Scott Aukerman
No, no.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sure.
Scott Aukerman
I don't think so. Who does? Who did the song originally?
Hot Dog
Oh, he did that. No, no, no, no. Goodbye. That's Gary Glitter.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, oh, okay.
Hot Dog
It is, isn't it?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, no, you're thinking of. That's Gary Glitter.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Rock and roll.
Scott Aukerman
Na n. Hey, hey. Kiss him goodbye. This was a 1969 stream. Was the original artist stream.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wait, will you play it?
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I could try.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can you stream it?
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm curious, is that the one we're thinking of or is that a.
Hot Dog
Am I the one who originally mentioned.
Scott Aukerman
Gary Glitter in this podcast?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I was. Okay.
Hot Dog
Thank goodness.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, we're cutting that out, I'm sure. Never get our editing budget back, but so.
Jason Mantzoukas
And if you don't know. Know why we rather not talk about Gary Glitter.
Hot Dog
Google it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, don't do that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Don't Google it.
Scott Aukerman
He gets in trouble for that, I think.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Don't Google.
Scott Aukerman
But any Google.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Gary Glitter. It's called a Google.
Scott Aukerman
But in any case. So this is going to be made up entirely of people who have not gotten into the band that they wanted to get into.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's like that movie the Expendables.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, exactly.
Hot Dog
That's what it is. Expendable. Rock and rollers, man. Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A super team of people nobody wants.
Hot Dog
Yeah, we're talking to Sammy Hagar. He got kicked out of Van Halen for his poor work ethic.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's that one?
Hot Dog
That's why.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I mean, he has a new group with Michael Anthony, also kicked out of Van Halen. It's called the Circle.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Really?
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What about Gary Sharon?
Hot Dog
My Sharona.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, from the other Van Halen. Lead singer after Sammy Van Halen 3 from. Well, more than Extreme.
Hot Dog
Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
More than words.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sure.
Hot Dog
He's more than welcome to join the band.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. More than words. Do. Do we need an audition at all?
Hot Dog
I don't think so.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. Wait, I wasn't saying you need to audition for him.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay.
Hot Dog
I don't want to audition for this band that I'm putting together.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hot Dog seems genuinely miserable to be here.
Scott Aukerman
I'm so sorry to even have to.
Jason Mantzoukas
I feel like Hot Dog would rather Byron Dennis than be getting the attention. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Byron. You're very quiet, by the way.
Hot Dog
No, no, I think he's doing wonderfully well. You know, think about it. I am summoned out of a clear blue sky.
Scott Aukerman
Do you. Wait, you're just in the middle of the sky when I summon you. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What?
Hot Dog
I'm looking down on Earth.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What?
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
We have not talked about this at all.
Hot Dog
You never asked where I was. You want to know all about his mug washing? You never asked where I was when you summoned me.
Jason Mantzoukas
So true. We are up in the heavens. We say, what's up, hot dog? You arrive and we never ask you where you just were.
Hot Dog
Well, if. If you guys would ever do me the favor of unsummoning me, what would happen is I just convert into mist and I. I float around in the atmosphere. That's what I. And then when you summon me, I become corporeal again and I'm a hot dog.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. Whoa.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you are almost like a spirit or a poltergeist in some ways.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I.
Hot Dog
It's. I am definitely missed. I'm like evaporated water.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I am somebody sayable. I thought I. Her Pol Pot poltergeist dimension.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, this is the father.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, right, right, right, right. We went.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Do you need a ghost? Busted.
Scott Aukerman
Is this.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is this an ad?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Break busting it makes me feel good.
Scott Aukerman
Are you afraid of ghosts?
Jason Mantzoukas
This seems like an ad.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
Hot Dog
I think you're going to have a hard time.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
People.
Hot Dog
People go, who you going to call? And then your name. Because it's very ingrained. Say, who you going to call?
Scott Aukerman
Ghostbusters. Yeah.
Hot Dog
What's your name?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Padre David de Benuto.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can you put that into the song?
Scott Aukerman
Who are you going to call when.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
There'S something strange in your neighborhood? Who you want to call? Padre Davide Benvenuto.
Scott Aukerman
It doesn't really roll off the top. Ghostbusters does. But.
Hot Dog
Oh, how about this?
Jason Mantzoukas
What if it was to a reggae. What if had headline?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What if.
Scott Aukerman
What if Jean Ana did Ghostbusters as one of their songs?
Hot Dog
I think it's a great idea.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, at this point, Ghostbusters is older than 50s rock and roll was to Sha and I themselves.
Hot Dog
What Can't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What?
Hot Dog
What do you mean?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
True.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Hot Dog
Well, Sha and I came together in like 1968. And so that was about seven years after the music that they were.
Scott Aukerman
Right. And so Ghostbusters was 40 years ago this year.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Man. That's crazy.
Scott Aukerman
So it's older than the music of the fifth.
Hot Dog
Wow, that's cool.
Scott Aukerman
Technically. Yeah. When you really think about it, when.
Jason Mantzoukas
You drill down into it, it's 40 years ago is still older than the 50s.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Hot Dog
You guys are blowing my mind.
Jason Mantzoukas
I know. We just have to explain it to you because you're mostly missed.
Hot Dog
Let me do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It takes me a little while to get for you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Say 40 years ago.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is older than the 50s.
Scott Aukerman
Yep. It's a. It's true though, when you really think.
Hot Dog
About it, the 50s are only 50 years old.
Scott Aukerman
Yep.
Hot Dog
For the 40s at this point. Yeah, twice that.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you. Bye. And you get it.
Hot Dog
I get it, yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think you guys is possess.
Hot Dog
What's that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think you guys is possessed.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no, I wouldn't perform an ex.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm going to have to perform an ex.
Jason Mantzoukas
We didn't summon this guy. But you arrived on a Vespa. See, I noticed this.
Scott Aukerman
And you're not missed before you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I ride the Vespa every. Yeah. I ride to other country.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, you, you're not missed before you come here. I mean, yeah, when we say that M I, S T, not M I.
Hot Dog
S, S E D. Oh, I know I'm not missed.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no. Hot Dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot Dog.
Scott Aukerman
Hot Dog. I think Hot Dog might need an exorcism. Honestly, I don't know what's going on with Hot Dog.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's the matter? For you? Why are you looking so sad?
Scott Aukerman
It's a nicer place.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's not so bad.
Hot Dog
Oh, shut up.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
In your face.
Jason Mantzoukas
Again. If you're listening to this episode and you weren't born in the early 70s or late 60s, you have no idea what's going on.
Scott Aukerman
But Hot Dog, I, and excuse me, Cal, I, I, I need to talk to Hot Dog. Oh, right. But, but.
Jason Mantzoukas
And the Grizz.
Hot Dog
The Grizz.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who would have thought the Grizz would get so little air time drops keep.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Falling off the end.
Scott Aukerman
I think, I think, Hot Dog, there's something going on with you. And it, you know, it may benefit you to perform an exorcism on you. Because I've never seen you like this.
Hot Dog
You think I might Ghost in me?
Scott Aukerman
I think so.
Hot Dog
Or what Is it a devil?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You got a demon?
Hot Dog
It's a demon.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot Dog. You got a demon in you.
Hot Dog
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You know, some people say I got that demon in me. That's you.
Hot Dog
Now, I've never heard anybody say that, but I, I believe that I might have a demon.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's a big expression in a exorcism service. I got it.
Scott Aukerman
When did you start feeling like this? Was this at some sometime around the last time you spoke to Sean on opera?
Hot Dog
Well, yeah, I had, I had a really bad conversation with those guys with Screaming Scott and Donnie, and they were real mean to me.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You say Shanana. Oh, what do you say? Shanana?
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All possessed.
Hot Dog
No, no, no, no.
Scott Aukerman
I, I mean, Honestly, Jason, we've. We've suspected this for a while.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm not surprised by that.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I mean, they are trying to bring about hell on earth and.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, well, Screaming Dirty Dan, John Bowser, Bow, they're all possessed. All possessed by demons.
Hot Dog
No, I mean, I know that they were in league with the devil and working for the devil, but possessed?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it's really splendid. He finally went all the way and so. So, Padre, do you think that perhaps when he tried to audition for Shaa Na, that he invited this poltergeist or devil in. In inside of him?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Almost certainly.
Hot Dog
Well, part of the audition was drawing a pentagram with my blood and then having me jerk off on a parchment.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, whoa.
Jason Mantzoukas
That is your soul's signature.
Hot Dog
Oh, what do you mean?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's where they get you.
Hot Dog
Oh, no. Oh, I thought it was just a weird kink.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Always have a lawyer look at the contract. I have any time I sign a contract that my lawyer cross. At the part where I got to drunk off at a party, I said just put a line right through that.
Scott Aukerman
That's just redline it. So what do you suggest we do here?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Everybody gotta pray.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Whether you believe or not, it does not matter. If you can pray in Latin the.
Scott Aukerman
Best I don't get. Jason, can you pray in Latin?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's your favorite prayer?
Jason Mantzoukas
I think the only prayer I know is the Lord's prayer.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, that's a good one.
Scott Aukerman
I know. God is good. God is great. Oh, I guess I don't know it. What's the one where God is good?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
God is great.
Scott Aukerman
Come on, God.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I just can't wait.
Jason Mantzoukas
Let me eat this food on my plate. What is this?
Scott Aukerman
That's the one.
Hot Dog
Yeah, I know.
Scott Aukerman
All hell.
Hot Dog
Rock and roll.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, that's a cool.
Hot Dog
Hail, hail, Rock and roll.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
If you pretend that rock and roll is a God. Is a rock and roll a God to you.
Hot Dog
Absolutely traditional.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Pray that you pray that no matter what happens, you pray that.
Scott Aukerman
So this is like a 12 step program where you don't have to believe in God necessarily. As much as something can.
Hot Dog
Whatever God means to.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I'm not real strict about it, you know.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's so.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, also the rock gods are there to be worshiped.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. Ronnie James Dio, Jimi Hendrix, Dread Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Are you talking about.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah, of course you do.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're older.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. So do you want to perform this exorcist?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, so you say God is. God is good. God is great.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You say the Lord's praying. Okay. You say Hello. Hear Rock and roll. Okay. And I will perform at the same. You don't have to this one if you don't mind.
Scott Aukerman
Greek magazine.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas

Okay, great. Good to know. All right, here we go. Ready?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Should I do anything?
Scott Aukerman
Greg, do you want to start preparing your zombie makeup for.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, Cal, that's cow.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, sorry.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cal.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cal, if you want. I mean, I, I don't know. Do you want to rap, Father Cal? Rap during a rap?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I don't know if you can rap during this.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I cannot have people rap during.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
So Cal should. It sounds like not talk at all.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Everybody pray quietly. I could do like God bless you like when somebody sneezes. Oh, sure, that's perfect.
Scott Aukerman
In case any of us sneezes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay. Just say God bless you over and over again.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, here we go.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
In three, two, one.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What is the countdown?
Scott Aukerman
We're all, we're all going to pray for you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Hot Dog
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It never occurred to me to do a countdown, but that's good. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Most prayers don't begin with the countdown.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was gonna say in the church, they don't do enough counting down.
Scott Aukerman
3, 2, 1.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I count down to my raps.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you do?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I, I hit first, I get the beat and then I go. 3, 2, 1. Rap.
Scott Aukerman
I love it. That's great. Here we go.
Jason Mantzoukas
It also sets expectations for the listener.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. Okay, can we be done talking about the rap? Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Yes. Here we go. 3, 2, 1.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hell.
Hot Dog

Oh, good.
Hot Dog

Scott Aukerman
I mean, you don't look great.
Hot Dog
I have to.
Scott Aukerman
I have to admit.
Hot Dog
Thank you for making my point for me.
Scott Aukerman
Not.
Hot Dog
But it's not a compliment. I'm not thanking you for the compliment.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I understand.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I command you to leave with the body of a hot dog.
Hot Dog
Listen, you're barking up your own tree because I myself am possessed by a demon. But I. What? Yes.

Scott Aukerman
In any case. Cal, do you do we need to audition? Cal, do we need to wrap this up or are you just guy's gonna just be in a band. I, I don't know. Maybe you feel so much better after having this.
Hot Dog

Jason Mantzoukas
Hot Dog's gone. I don't know if John Ana is viable at this point with.

Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, the Gris is back, baby.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well. Well, it's just the two of us, Byron.
Hot Dog

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's lifestyle.
Hot Dog
Yes. I'm sorry, Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't coach your life. Just lifestyle.
Scott Aukerman
And Grizzly, speaking on behalf of Byron here, if you don't mind, the lifestyle that you're coaching him about, could, could it be your lifestyle?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, that's what it is.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, great.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'll coach everyone how to live like the Grizz. Oh, wonderful. How to live like. Yes, yes, yes.
Hot Dog
Well, I, I, I would love it if you would take me on as a client. I'd love to have learn how to live like the gre.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then. I'm so sorry. Go ahead.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Borrowing nothing would give me more pleasure.
Hot Dog
Oh, wonderful. Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then Grizz, this guy GRE just wants to do a full body scan of you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Greg too. Is that funny?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, pretty funny. Greg. Anytime he meets another Greg, he wants to do a full body scan.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who wouldn't want to do a full body scan of me?
Scott Aukerman
That's right. The water polo inspector.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Proper fit.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. So he's going to do a body scan of you. He's going to do some moldings, some casts.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You don't mind if I just get in here to some molding? Yeah, I don't care.
Scott Aukerman
Measurements may inseams out seams. Sure. Every everything. And then how long does this usually take to to figure out how to be like the Grizz?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Let's see. I've coached two people so far.
Hot Dog

Scott Aukerman
Oh, which two, if you don't mind me asking?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

Scott Aukerman
Jim Gaffigan. I've noticed he's very Grizz like.
Hot Dog
I have seen that too.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Hot Dog
Well, if you. If I can get half the results of. Of Jeremy Piven and Jim Gaffigan, I'd be thrilled.
Jason Mantzoukas
And is the whole point of your lifestyle thing to give out and help people understand that grief? Grizz Riz?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I call it.
Hot Dog
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
The Grizz Rizz.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And when it. When it's done, when the transformation is complete, I say you have achieved Grizz Riz. Like a robot.
Scott Aukerman
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like a robot. That's so cool.
Scott Aukerman
We met a robot earlier building a Grisball.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, you've got to.
Scott Aukerman
A true Grisball.
Hot Dog
You've got to do a true gris.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're not one of the fake Grizz that's been running around.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They're just cardboard boxes painted with silver, ain't they?
Scott Aukerman
You're not. Not a Grisbot right now, are you? Like Doc, when. You know how when Dr. Doom makes a bunch of. Of Doom bots, sometimes they don't even know that they're not actually Dr. Doom. They think they are.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't know about that because I want sex, mate.
Scott Aukerman
I think robots. Have you gotten into a pool recently?
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, Cylon.
Hot Dog
What do you mean by that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, oh, I see.
Hot Dog
I thought you were suggesting that pools are essentially sex robots.
Scott Aukerman
No, no, no. I mean, like, we don't want to get a robot.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Do you remember eyes? You know, you're like, by your command. And there was one guy who had like a see through head and he was like a little.
Hot Dog
A little.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A little fancy lad.
Hot Dog
And then he would.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He would. He would like, go by your command.
Scott Aukerman
Why didn't they just put like a bucket of water above the door so when the Cylon would walk in, like, they get soaked and just go.
Hot Dog
They short circuit.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, Circuit they never thought of.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who's they?
Scott Aukerman
I don't know who they is.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Battlestar Galacticans.
Scott Aukerman
Apollo. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What was the lady's name? I loved her. Jake was. And.
Jason Mantzoukas

Scott Aukerman
Oh, I was talking about the.
Hot Dog
Okay, anyway, Commander Adama.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, of course. Lauren Green is from Bonanza.
Jason Mantzoukas
From Bonanza.
Hot Dog
I don't know that show.
Scott Aukerman
I. I don't want to mention Bonanza. It's so stupid that someone else is going to show up if we mention Bonanza too many times.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right.
Scott Aukerman
If we keep saying Bonanza, you know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It'S S. By Dalton Wilcox. Wow.

Hell yes. I came by hoping you might have a can opener. If not, I'll just shoot it.
Scott Aukerman
Two can. Dalton. Yeah. Let me find one for you.

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, it's what It's a proper beer can. You remember those. Those tins with a t before the.
Scott Aukerman
150 year old men know about where you have to.
Jason Mantzoukas
You had to do two. One on each side.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
My dad had one of those.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh yeah.
Hot Dog
This can is from 40 years ago. That's older than the 50s. Even older. You got old. Yeah, man, that's the best.

Scott Aukerman
Old Slits. Properly aged. Dalton, it's great to see you.

Enchanted.
Hot Dog
Nice to meet you.
Jason Mantzoukas
I will say, Dalton, now that you're here. Oh, and I guess some of them are. Have. Have gone away way. But there for sure have been monsters.
Scott Aukerman
Well, there's a guy who. Who. I mean, Greg over here. Don't listen to this, Grizz. Greg. Greg makes zombie makeup.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah, but that's just fake. I mean, Golly was here and Golly is a true agent of demonic chaos.
Hot Dog
Oh, was here though?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. No, we.
Hot Dog
I guess they heard I was coming and they said I don't want anything to do with that.
Scott Aukerman
And we said his name backwards.
Hot Dog
Got real scared and stuff like that. But you said his name backwards.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Yeah. We're applying Mr. Mixixaplex rules to everybody. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Network Solix.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Can't even say it. Mixelpl.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I always said Mitzelplicks.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Mixelplex is Mplex. Mitzelplicks. Yeah, it could be.

Hot Dog
Honestly, I'm leaving it.
Scott Aukerman
Great to see you.

Jason Mantzoukas
He must have keyless entry on that horse.
Scott Aukerman
Do you drive a keyless entry?
Hot Dog
No, he seems to be riding away on a horse. Sentry.
Jason Mantzoukas
Keyless sentry.
Scott Aukerman
Well, look, have we wrapped up everything? You're going to take him on as a client. So maybe next time we see you, we'll hear exactly how that all went.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or we'll have forgotten y.
Hot Dog
Very likely, Very likely.
Scott Aukerman
Anything else we need to wrap up, Byron, or.
Hot Dog
No, we never really did get into what's going on with the royal family in the hospital.
Jason Mantzoukas
Having medical.
Scott Aukerman
King Charles, rather. He went to the hospital. What's happening?
Hot Dog
Yes, yes. Well, it's late in the podcast to get into it, really. Okay. But they're having aliens implanted under their skin.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh. Oh, wow.
Hot Dog
It's sort of. It's a long term arrangement made with the beings from another planet and.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. Yes.
Hot Dog
But Charles is having one put in his ass. It could be anywhere. That's where he's chosen.
Scott Aukerman
He just chose it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, and right up old Iris.
Hot Dog
Yeah, that's right. And Catherine is having one put in her abdomen because she's just one of those ladies who likes the feeling of being pregnant. So it's. Yes, she's going to have that.
Jason Mantzoukas
And then one of those ladies.
Hot Dog
Yes, one of those Sarah Ferguson is having one on put in her nose. And away we go.

Are they gonna let Prince Andrew get in on this?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, no.
Hot Dog
Absolutely no.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Hot Dog
No, they're absolutely not.
Scott Aukerman
And what is the point of this? Why are they doing this?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's.
Scott Aukerman
It's.
Hot Dog
It's really, really for the benefit of the aliens. You know, this is sort of a gestational arrangement.
Scott Aukerman
I see. Is this some sort of. The aliens want to take over the world and. And the English King Charles has sort of acceded to their requests.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's a world swap. I see. So.
Hot Dog
So the royals will then go to their plan.
Jason Mantzoukas
So it's kind of like a life swap, but for Pete. For entire world.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Move that, boss. And then a gigantic bus is moved and there's a new planet. Yeah, it's Pluto.
Hot Dog
So royals and their guests will move to this other planet.
Scott Aukerman
So everyone gets.
Hot Dog
As our planet is being sort of subsumed by the. The.
Jason Mantzoukas
So we're still trying to get off this planet. That's the whole royal thing. That's the new version of the. Before that, the spaceship was going to come.

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Why are you telling them the secret plans?
Hot Dog

Featuring: Scott Aukerman, Jason Mantzoukas, Andy Daly (as Byron Denniston and others), Paul F. Tompkins (as Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and others)
Originally released: Feb 11, 2024. Reposted as a Halloween bonus episode on Oct 30, 2025.
This special "BOO-nus Bang" celebrates Comedy Bang Bang’s 850th episode with a star-studded (and character-packed) show. Scott Aukerman marks the milestone by inviting Jason Mantzoukas and beloved recurring characters Byron Denniston (Andy Daly) and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber (Paul F. Tompkins) into the mayhem, joined by surprise drop-ins from “Hot Dog” and more. Centered around the pseudo-spiritual "exorcism" of Hot Dog, the episode is a hilarious exploration of in-jokes, fake British aristocracy, pop-culture deep-cuts, and surreal improvisational antics—the perfect CBB blend of absurdity, nostalgia, and meta-commentary.
“Doing that many of anything… Boy, we got old.” (Jason, 05:34)
"They’re not necessarily cartoonishly evil with giant leather balloon hats.” (Byron/Andy, 15:56)
“It was a real chocolate and peanut butter situation.” (Webber/PFT, 30:46)
For fans and newcomers, this 850th episode embodies Comedy Bang Bang’s signature comedic chaos. The “Exorcism of Hot Dog” is not just a send-up of horror tropes but a showcase of recurring character synergy, deep-dive pop references, and the show's willingness to let the weirdness build and flourish. Whether you love British caricature, Dread Zeppelin deep cuts, or meta-podcast lore, there’s something in this sprawling, joyful improv mess for you.
