Carrie Kenny Silver
Every bone in my leg is named Greg. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Titanic Rusticles for that catchphrase submission. I don't think it's going to stick, though, but thank you, Titanic Rusticles. We're going to keep on searching for a new one, but welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. My name is Scott Aukerman. This is a great show today, of course, we are closing out Bride Month. Now, a lot of people in June celebrate Pride Month. We celebrate Bride Month because every a block guest this month was supposed to be women and then one dropped out and so we had a man last week. Anyway, it's still. It's still Bride Month as far as I'm concerned. And we're closing out strong. But before we get to her, let me. Let me tell you who's coming up a little later. We have a. We have a very special psa. We have a mother coming in to give us a very special psa. And that's the. That's the rest of the show. I said it was a great show. I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
So far, so good.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. I mean, you're a great guest.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, look at me already. Right out of the gate.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Right out of the gate. We have a movie and TV star.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, who is it gonna be?
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's you, Madame.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my goodness. The bride of the day.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's right. We are closing out Bride Month with a very special guest. She's making her first appearance on the podcast, if you can believe it. But of course, most listeners know her as Meryl. Hmm. From the Comedy Bang Bang TV show.
Scott Aukerman
Everybody's talking about it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's right. From the Weird Al Yankovic wears a Hawaiian Shirt episode.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. I think I had a bag of potato chips shaped like people.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's Right. Yes. Very fun. That was such a fun time.
Scott Aukerman
Everybody's talking about it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Have you worked since then?
Scott Aukerman
No. So I've actually been in your driveway the whole time waiting to be brought in.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, of course we know her. As for now, how long has it been on Reno 911?
Scott Aukerman
Is it decades? Pilot in 2000?
Carrie Kenny Silver
2000. 25 years. Is the 25th anniversary.
Scott Aukerman
Kind of. We didn't air till 2003.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, well, you could celebrate that in 2028.
Scott Aukerman
That'll be another podcast, yes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, just a podcast.
Scott Aukerman
I'll just wait here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, great. You know her as Officer Trudy Weigel in that you know her as she's been all over your television and film screens. And now she has a new television show on Netflix called the Four Seasons.
Scott Aukerman
I do. You do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And we're gonna talk about it right here on the show. Carrie, Kenny Silver is here. Hi, Carrie.
Scott Aukerman
Hi.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So wonderful. It's so wonderful to have you on the show. You're one of the bucket list guests.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my gosh.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You've turned it down. Every week. I send you a request every week.
Scott Aukerman
Sometimes twice a week.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, that's true. If I get.
Scott Aukerman
Sometimes you just show up.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's true. With my recording equipment in tow.
Scott Aukerman
No, thank you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, but finally you have something that you want to get the word out about.
Scott Aukerman
That's it. That's what it is. I'm making a worldwide plea for people to please watch the Four Seasons. Although I will say the amount of people that have already watched is absolutely shocking to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's astronomical. It's always number one or number two on Netflix.
Scott Aukerman
In the world.
Carrie Kenny Silver
In the world, Worldwide.
Scott Aukerman
Like, what is that?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't know. It's crazy to be part of something so popular.
Scott Aukerman
It is. I don't know what it is, especially for me. Well, I didn't either until a month ago.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You've been stuck doing this Reno911 show for 25 years.
Scott Aukerman
I've been very happily swimming in the lane of alt comedy since 1992.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Now, alt stands. It's short for salt. Is that right?
Scott Aukerman
That's correct.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Salt comedy.
Scott Aukerman
That's correct. Now we're getting all peppery.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And the Four Seasons. First, let's say what it is. It is. How macro should I get? It's. Do I need to explain television?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I think so. We have time, right?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Tubes to tv. Still.
Scott Aukerman
You're doing great. You're doing great.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Tubes, cathodes, visual images.
Scott Aukerman
Don't forget the buttons.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, no. Now I'm just doing Nicole, Kidman visual images on a screen. But yes, the buttons rewind, pause. TiVo came around in around 1999, 2000. It allowed us to pause our television screens.
Scott Aukerman
Well, if you're fancy like you, I still have the remote that's attached by a string to the tv.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Is this like a wax string? Like one of those telephone.
Scott Aukerman
It's like a Twizzler.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay. Yeah, I think you could just bite that off.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. A lot like Dan Bell to think it's not a real television.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. What do you watch on it?
Scott Aukerman
Nothing. There's nothing on there.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. I don't think this is real.
Scott Aukerman
I don't think so either.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I'm such a sucker.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You got to watch the Four Seasons on a real television. Let's talk about it. It is a television show. It's on Netflix currently. There's only one season. And when. When we talk about a season, I know it's confusing because the show is called the Four Season. So you're like, expecting to go on Netflix, like, okay, let's watch four seasons of this television show. Have you found that people are confused?
Scott Aukerman
I think the first thing people were confused about was because of White Lotus. When they saw the trailer for this, they thought, oh, this is about the Four Seasons. The hotel.
Carrie Kenny Silver
The hotel, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
It is not. It is based on a movie written and directed by Alan Alda in 1981.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Now, Alan Alda, we all know him and love him as that wonderful television doctor. I'm talking, of course, about Dr. Gabriel Lawrence on ER.
Scott Aukerman
This is the guy. You have nailed it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Five episodes. Don't do any more research in season five. Yes, but he also did a bunch of other things. But he wrote and directed this movie back in the 80s. And you think it's about the four seasons. And then the very first scene of the television show is everyone arriving at a place and you're like, oh, oh, boy, here comes the Four Seasons. I'm gonna get to see this gorgeous hotel.
Scott Aukerman
No, you're not.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And then it's a house.
Scott Aukerman
It's a house.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And there's only one season of the show.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It.
Scott Aukerman
There's only. There's so confusing.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't get it, Carrie.
Scott Aukerman
I don't either. Just forget it. Bye.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, my.
Scott Aukerman
My tiny little heels My tiny little Barbie shoes On your floor on your marble floor.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Would you be in the sequel to Barbie if they asked you?
Scott Aukerman
Obviously. Who wouldn't?
Carrie Kenny Silver
The hard hitting questions. So this is a television show. It was created by Lang Fisher and Tracy Wakefield and Tina Fey.
Scott Aukerman
Yep.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Is that short For Christina Fay.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it is.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Is it really?
Scott Aukerman
I don't know.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't know. Let's look her up.
Scott Aukerman
So far, your Google machine has not been doing a great job with research.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Tina Fey.
Scott Aukerman
Elizabeth is her name, right?
Carrie Kenny Silver
It is Elizabeth and Tina's in quotes, which leads me to believe she's a liar.
Scott Aukerman
That's just her stripper name.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay, got it.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And she took it as a professional.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But this is a. It feels reductive to call it a sitcom, AKA situational comedy.
Scott Aukerman
You know, it has a similar vibe to the 1981 film, which at the time, I just keep. You know, people use a lot of words to describe it, like, is it this, is it that. It just feels like real life to me. There are some really dark dramatic moments. There is lots of levity. There are. It's just this, this is what drew me to it as an 11 year old watching.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You watched it when you were 11.
Scott Aukerman
Years old a million times. And I can't tell you how many people of our generation have said that too. And I think back in the day, we didn't really separate children's programming with, you know, we had Zoom, we had Sesame street and those things when we say zoom.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is a television program, by the way. Not. We didn't have Zoo. We didn't have Skype. Yeah, like all the kids use these days. They're always on Zooms. They're always like, oh, daddy, let me, let me join the Zoom.
Scott Aukerman
We didn't have.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Let me share my screen.
Scott Aukerman
Sony Walkman's like you do now.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, we, we. We had to walk, man, to school.
Scott Aukerman
That's all right. I'll let that one go. It's fine. It's early. It's not that early.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I really should have worked all these out before.
Scott Aukerman
No, but it was like, it was a. It had a. First of all, I think it was a summer when it was on a lot back when cable would just play the.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So you had cable when you were 11 years old?
Scott Aukerman
No, but my grandmother did. Yes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
So hip.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Grandma.
Scott Aukerman
In the summer you would just be like, whatever was on. Is it on Golden Pond? Is it that? But I also. Yeah, exactly. And Tina said the same thing. She's like, why was 11 year old me so drawn to this story about divorce and all these things? I mean, I think it's because my parents had recently been divorced. It felt real to me. There's Carol Burnett. I love her. There's Alan Rita Moreno. All these people that you know from other things. And that was The. That. That was the energy that Tina wanted to bring to this. Wait a second. There's Will Forte. I know him from snl. But then there's Colman Domingo. He has a. I know him from the. He's Oscar nominated for this drama. And Carrie, Kenny Silver, who. She just came in off the street. But, you know, bringing all these people.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Steve Carell, we know him from the morning show.
Scott Aukerman
Hello. Hello. I mean, so it. It's. It feels to me, Toby Huss, like, I know we know him. Now, listen, Toby, I didn't know was gonna play my spoiler.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How long have you known Toby? Because I've known him for now 20 years.
Scott Aukerman
Since the beginning.
Carrie Kenny Silver
30 years.
Scott Aukerman
When I say the beginning, I mean, like, you know, since the beginning of my career. There was nothing before that. But Toby started doing Reno with us, like, almost in the beginning. And I did not know, nor did I have anything to do with the fact that he was cast.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So the casting couch was not a part of the process in making this show.
Scott Aukerman
It was more like a settee.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So a fainting couch.
Scott Aukerman
A fainting couch. Oh, I love that. I love a fainting couch.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, I love it. I faint upwards of 20, 30 times a day, and I'm always like, where's the couch?
Scott Aukerman
I know. You might need to be seen for that. I don't think it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I have an iron deficiency. Is that something that I need to look into?
Scott Aukerman
No, no, not these days. It's overrated.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So you have Steve Carell, Will Forte, Tina Fey, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, and yourself are the main six couples of this show. And it's called the Four Seasons because it actually, weirdly enough, takes place in all four seasons of the calendar year. The Roman Cuenco calendar.
Scott Aukerman
Can you believe it? Spoiler alert. Now no one's gonna watch it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sorry. Yeah, I spoiled everything.
Scott Aukerman
It is a cozy. It's a cozy comedy that has, like, a cc. I think it's a cc. And you can also close caption it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sure, of course you can, if you want.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. And it just feels like this friend group and these, you know, of. Of a certain generation of our generation, which you don't get to see a lot on television.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, that's right. I. You know, every time I turn on the tv, everyone is, like, under five years old.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm like, why are they giving.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a second. Which shows are you watching?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Let's see. I'm usually watching, like, kids pop.
Scott Aukerman
And that might be part of the problem. There are other channels.
Carrie Kenny Silver
There are?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Where you can watch like 15 to 22 year olds.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. Exclusively.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I'll send you a link.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, thank you. But yeah, this is for, not for, but it's about and regarding people in their 50s or so.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And you don't see that a lot. You don't see those full stories being told all that often. I was saying that, you know, 15 years ago, as a woman in this business, as a 55 year old woman, the best I could have hoped for at this stage in my career was the Wacky Neighbor or which you have played, which I continue to play. It's my bread and butter.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I believe you are in fine with it. The Netflix show Love, created by Paul Rust, is the Wacky neighbor.
Scott Aukerman
Love it. But a woman of this age, it used to be that the only opportunities really were the mother in law who comes in and wags her finger every five episodes and she leaves and everyone rolls their eyes and goes, that's my mom. And so to have a meaty story for this generation I think is a really beautiful thing. But also other genera. I've been so surprised at how many young people have come up to me and said, oh, I just watched it for the second time. Or you know, it's so.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's not because young people are going through, I'm sure some of the same things that are happening to these characters there are. Not to spoil any of the twists and turns. It's almost like an M. Night Shyamalan thing here. But almost. If you know his movies primarily were about divorcing.
Scott Aukerman
Sure, sure.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Hey, let's go see Trap about that divorce.
Scott Aukerman
About the divorce. That's kind of funny also.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But it's, it's about three couples and their travails and pitfalls and hardships in their each individual marriages and what they go through. And you have, some are saying the media stroll of the six you have there, there are tears shed. How'd you do the tears scenes? Did you put stuff in your eyes?
Scott Aukerman
I just shed them.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You shed them?
Scott Aukerman
I've been saving them up.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Really.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's the way to do it.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, no one saw me in this way. And Sherry Thomas, the casting director, for her to pull me into that audition room, I was excited just to get the audition. Oh, someone thinks that I can do this. And so I keep waiting for the finger on the shoulder.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Like, you know, you know what?
Scott Aukerman
Season two, you know what? That was cute. But you've been replaced. Like they, like they would replace an I Dream of Jeannie.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, that happened.
Scott Aukerman
The character of Anne will now be Played by.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Exactly. I mean, I was watching an episode of ER the other day and Jingmai's father, who for seasons and seasons was played by one actor, just suddenly, like, they take him into the ER in season 11 and he's like, you know, some different guy. Come on, man.
Scott Aukerman
Hollywood is cruel.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But, yeah, no, it's. It's incredible to see you in this capacity and in this, in this way. How many auditions did you. Did you give?
Scott Aukerman
2. So I was so excited to just be in a room in person, first of all, because I don't know if people know, but really, since COVID self tape. Self tape everything. And I don't. I don't know how to do lighting. This is why I do comedy. If I had skills, I would be doing comedy. So, yeah, came in person to Sherry Thomas's office and read and really didn't put too much on it because I thought, well, I'm not going to get this. But I'm just so excited.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's the best way to go into an audition where you're, turns out I'm not going to get this, so let me just do whatever I want.
Scott Aukerman
Turns out, that was really. That was, that was the best way. And then there was a callback on Zoom from My Home with Tina, Tracy and Lang and Sherry Thomas. So that was it. Two. Two auditions.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow. And so you read with Tina.
Scott Aukerman
I read with Tina and I had never met her before. I had never met any of these people before I met Tina on that zoom. The first time I met everybody in person was when we sat down to do our first scene together.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And really, no table reads. Nothing.
Scott Aukerman
Just like first scene, zoom, table reads.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Zoom, table reads.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And then you, you get in a room. Do you remember what your first scene was on. On day one?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah. My first scene was the. When we go to the pharmacy, myself and Marco and Tina. And it was out of.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is a funny scene, by the way.
Scott Aukerman
It's a funny scene. And I was like, I don't know what I'm doing with my hands. How do people move? What is.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What'd you end up doing with them? Like, hold them straight up in the air.
Scott Aukerman
I don't even wanna watch. I don't know. Hopefully they just cropped him out. But no, it was terrifying. And then the next scene was a scene with everybody, the whole cast sitting around a table.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Those take forever to shoot. Table scenes.
Scott Aukerman
They didn't.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, these.
Scott Aukerman
Nothing. Took forever to shoot. The whole process was so wonderful and comfortable and realistic. Days it wasn't 18 hour days. It just felt like, can this be real? Are we actually making something here? Because this feels too. I don't. Easy's not the word. It felt comfortable and safe and fun.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Also, it's a big budget production, which huge on Reno.
Scott Aukerman
You don't never experienced that before, ever. I mean, I kept walking up to craft service going, I can have any of this. I was just here and had a pickle. Are you sure? I can come back for olives?
Carrie Kenny Silver
And you Again, not to give away the plot, but things happen and people are like, huh? I don't know if the original six are going to continue to be in the show, but you're in the entire thing. And it's already been picked up for a second season, which is exciting. And a lot of people are saying not only do you have Emmy buzz for this show, but you have Oscar buzz. And I'm like, how does this happen? It wasn't even a movie.
Scott Aukerman
I heard Nobel Peace Prize.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I heard that too. It's insane the things that are happening with this.
Scott Aukerman
People talk, but people talk.
Carrie Kenny Silver
People talk all the time. I've noticed that they tend to talk once a day, usually.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. And it doesn't mean it's definitely gonna.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Happen, but I think it will.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I guess that it likely will.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, that's the thing about Oscars is like, you watch the Oscars and every year someone wins for something that you've never seen before.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it's like you're watching. You know when you watch like a horse race and a dog or a squirrel jumps over into the. Into the finish line, into the finish line, into the track and everyone cheers for them. Yeah, we're that squirrel.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Exactly. But for the Oscars, like, instead of just giving it to some random thing that no one's seen, just go give it to a TV show that everyone.
Scott Aukerman
Likes that everyone thinks is lovely.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, exactly.
Scott Aukerman
We might win Formula one.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So. So when do you go back to film the second season?
Scott Aukerman
Same schedule as last time. So we'll go back. It'll probably be Hudson Valley again in September.
Carrie Kenny Silver
In September. So the countdown begins.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, we did last time, we did three and a half months in Hudson Valley and then we went to Puerto Rico to film the summer episodes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Right. Oh, wow. How long was that?
Scott Aukerman
That was around Christmas time. For two weeks.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It was for two weeks.
Scott Aukerman
Ser.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You're almost like a four month shoot, which is great. In a big budget thing. Do you get paid by the day or by the season?
Scott Aukerman
Probably by the second. We get paid by the second. They Hand you a bucket of money every second. You guys, you gotta get on this.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I've been telling people this for years. You gotta get on a big, huge hit TV show.
Scott Aukerman
Why not? You know, I had a friend. I had a friend growing up whose mother didn't quite understand how it all worked. And she would always say to me, you have got to get a Coke commercial. And I was like, yeah, that would be great.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, of course.
Scott Aukerman
And I actually ended up doing a Barq's root beer commercial with Nick Swardson.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Whoa.
Scott Aukerman
And I remember calling her and saying, I did it. I'm gonna bark.
Carrie Kenny Silver
She's like, no, not Coke.
Scott Aukerman
Not Coke. Like, who do I call?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, the Four Seasons is out now. I tore through these. I wish I could say I did it all in one sitting, but I went to bed after the sixth one.
Scott Aukerman
That's all right.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And I woke up and I watched the other two in the morning.
Scott Aukerman
But it is fairly bite sized. It's not going to be a month of your life. The entire season is four hours long.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's not like watching ER.
Scott Aukerman
My God.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And trying to get through 15 seasons of it before you watch the Pit.
Scott Aukerman
I feel like ER has a real hold on you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Now. It's out now. Four Seasons is out now. Of course, we have to mention the State, the sketch show from the 90s that you were a cast member of. That was Rolling Stone famously said, was the number two 90s sketch show behind Mr. Show, which I was on and Tom Lennon will never let me forget.
Scott Aukerman
Interesting that you bring that up and say that, that. That's famous, because that's the first time I've heard it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Really?
Scott Aukerman
No, I don't.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Tom Lennon talks about it constantly.
Scott Aukerman
Of course he does. Number two, that hurts.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That hurts him.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
30 years later. You don't want to be.
Scott Aukerman
You don't want to be number one, though. You want to be the underdog.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I wanted to be number one and we ended up being number one.
Scott Aukerman
Well, everybody's happy except for Tom, but that's. That's fine.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's standard.
Scott Aukerman
It's fine. He'll get over it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You guys. Did something just happen with a bunch of. Was there like a sort of mini reunion?
Scott Aukerman
It was a mega reunion, actually. I don't know if you heard, but it was pretty mega. No, we did this documentary. Director Matthew Perniciaro just directed a documentary about the State called Long Live the State. And it just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. And you watched it and we watched it. We had an incredible screening and everybody Was there, except for Ben was starting to shoot something that he had created.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And Michael, I hear everyone was going.
Scott Aukerman
No, Michael was the showalter. Was there?
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, no, no. Black.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Black wasn't.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Everyone was very happy that he wasn't there in his reading.
Scott Aukerman
Black wasn't there either because he had a show in upstate New York.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Was he doing the Ninja Turtle show?
Scott Aukerman
He came the day before and we did, like, our big family dinner and stuff. He. That Ninja Turtle story has made a resurgence and it makes me so happy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Of course, he was on my other show. We've got to stop talking. TMNT on cbb. Talking. It's a fascinating episode for people. It's over on CBB World and you can hear all about him and Ben. Right. They both were posed as Ninja Turtles. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, it's a fascinating story.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. And then he also drove several members off a cliff, right?
Scott Aukerman
Correct. I got a phone call that they were all in the hospital because he had flipped. He had fell asleep. They were on a tour. I was on tour with my band that summer. They went on a state tour. Yes, but they were on a state tour and he fell asleep at the wheel and flipped the van in a field.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. That was almost a Big Bopper style. Like, can you think of how the world would be different? Because who was it? It was Black. And who else was in the van?
Scott Aukerman
Marino? Joe Lotruglio, David Wayne.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Brooklyn Nine. Nine wouldn't exist.
Scott Aukerman
No. Reno wouldn't exist.
Carrie Kenny Silver
The wet hot American summer wouldn't exist. Children's Hospital wouldn't exist.
Scott Aukerman
Right. Penicillin wouldn't exist.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know how, but that's.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Buttercream. Yeah. The buttercream effect.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And that. So. So is that all in the documentary? I would imagine.
Scott Aukerman
No, it's not, actually. Believe it or not.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Huge. It's not even. Doesn't even make the doc.
Scott Aukerman
Well, that just shows you, like. I mean, we've been together since I. I mean, I met Tom when I was. In 1988. Yeah, you were all in. Excuse me. I met Tom in 1986. I met the rest of the state in 1980, before college. Where to meet? At summer camp at Northwestern. Summer theater camp. I didn't know that we were 16, but then. Or 17. That was 1987. 1988. The state. We all met and started working together as the new group which became the state. So. Yeah, for 37 years. A lot has happened.
Carrie Kenny Silver
A lot has happened. You don't see anyone doing a Mr. Show documentary. Even though we were number one.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. There's not enough of you. I mean, it would be like a show.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. It's Bob and David. And then they would play every part in the documentary and occasionally throw us a bonus.
Scott Aukerman
The show is great. They're number one. The end. I mean, that's not a real. We saw it already.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, I can't wait to see this. When's it come out?
Scott Aukerman
That's a great question. They have to sell.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Thank you so much.
Scott Aukerman
They have to sell it first. So now I'd like to buy it. Oh. Oh, wow.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How much?
Scott Aukerman
Four. I don't know. And I don't even know what I mean by that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
To three.
Scott Aukerman
This is not my movie. I did, but I'll take it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, we have a deal.
Scott Aukerman
Let's shake on it and wait. Do my little clippy clappy shoes going out the door. Good day. Oh, I'm driving an elephant.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, this is exciting. We, of course, have the four seasons, which is out now in Emmy voters, you know, start tipping and tapping away and pressing that little button next to Carrie's name, because I want to see the nom. I want to see the win. I want to see you get up there on stage and hold it aloft with those hands. You don't know what to do with. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
And Oscar voters. Oscar voters and Nobel peace Prize. I don't want to get too greedy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
The Peabody, though, that's certainly within reach.
Scott Aukerman
Obviously, anyone can win a Peabody. We've got that one in the bag.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Exactly. That is out now. Four seasons. We have to take a break, but when we come back, we're going to have more with Carrie. We also have a mom who's going to be giving a psa.

Scott Aukerman
I had never met Steve. What a. He lives up to all of the hype.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Does he? Yes, I worked with him once. He was great.
Scott Aukerman
All of the hype.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Very fun and.
Mom
Yeah, John, hold on one second. Hold on one second. John, Let me just talk to Scott about this.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sorry, Kerry.
Mom
Hey, Scott. Sorry to interrupt. Hi, Kerry.
Scott Aukerman
Hi.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sorry. Kerry.
Mom
Michael, Lindsay Hogg. We spoke on the phone. I did your preview.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Hi.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Hi, Michael. What's going on? I'm in the middle of the show, actually.
Mom
Why Apollo. I apologize, Scott, but this is you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Is this one of those it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission kind of things? Because I would rather you just ask permission.
Mom
Well, I ask for permission and then you say no, so this works better for me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't forgive you.
Mom
Okay, well, if you asked for permission.
Carrie Kenny Silver
First and I say no and then you ask for forgiveness, I'm not gonna forgive you.
Mom
What do I have to do? I'm down on bended knee for forgiveness.
Carrie Kenny Silver
For a long time. You're standing straight up right now.
Mom
Emotionally, I'm down on Ben and knee, hat in hand.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Your hat is. You're wearing two hats, by the way, and they're still on your head.
Mom
I am showing you my belly here. I am asking.
Scott Aukerman
He actually is showing you his belly.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I really wish he wouldn't do that.
Scott Aukerman
Disturbing.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sorry, everyone. Who's listening and was expecting a more in depth conversation about when this came out in. Steve Carell. This is Michael Lindsay Hogg.
Mom
Hi.
Carrie Kenny Silver
He. You're part of the booking process now of the show.
Mom
Yeah. So I emailed you because I thought you could do a better pre interview.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You were on the show before?
Mom
I was on the show once before.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And obviously for those of you who don't know who Michael Lindsay Hogg is, he directed Get Back.
Mom
I directed some movie with Peter Sellers and some movie with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr that's referenced a lot in Get Back. I forget what it's called at this exact.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And you're the guy, if you watch the Get Back, Peter Jackson documentary who keeps begging them to go to Egypt.
Mom
Giving them amazing ideas. I wanted them to go to Egypt and do a concert in front of 5,000 Arabs. I also gave them notes on a lot of their songs and they ignored most of them. But. Scott, it'll be just a moment. I have Jon Hamm on the line. I'm doing his pre interview for a future episode.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, great. Yeah.
Mom
He wants to talk about, you know, you get these stories on here. He wants to talk about eating too much applesauce on the set of your Friends and Neighbors and getting a side eye from Amanda. Pete, it's not for me. We're trying to zhuzh up the show here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, but this sounds like a great.
Scott Aukerman
Kind of a great story.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Getting a side eye from Amanda P. How much? Wait, wait, wait. How much applesauce?
Mom
Well, I can. John, how much applesauce? A whole cup.
Scott Aukerman
Wow.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That doesn't sound like too much applesauce.
Mom
It doesn't sound like too much. I'M saying you want to go viral, Scott. So I'm telling John he doesn't want to do it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I was talking about this a couple of weeks ago. I miss the days back when we would make news stories with what someone said. Nowadays, Tatiana Maslany comes on here and she makes news about the fact that she was cut out of. What's that guy's name? He's irreverent. He wears a mask.
Mom
Jim Carrey.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's one of them. Deadpool is the one I'm thinking of.
Mom
Okay. All right. Two similar guys.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Two similar guys.
Mom
That's a great story.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Jim Carrey and Deadpool. Very similar guys.
Mom
Now that's a new story. Cut out of the mask. Tatiana Maslany at the youngest of ages, I'm sure.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. So we'll get picked up by comic book sites occasionally. But I miss the days when we were on the Today show and when. Who's that guy? Who used to do.
Scott Aukerman
I love that you keep looking at me. Have I answered one of your who's that guy? Question correctly?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Who's that guy?
Scott Aukerman
Jim Carrey.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Jim Carrey. Yeah. On the Today Show. I miss those days.
Mom
This is how we get those back. You know what goes viral?
Carrie Kenny Silver
What?
Mom
Conan o' Brien trying to eat a lot of wings and power through it. So I'm telling Jon Hamm, look, you know Matthew Weiner. Let's have you talk to Scott in a hot tub of thousand wings. Well, it doesn't work for this, then. But we have to pronounce it wiener for this. And it's you. It's Jon Hamm. A hot tub of a thousand wieners in front of a thousand winners. It's a viral.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I think those are whiners.
Mom
Well, okay, we can do whiners, but.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I also whiners across the board.
Mom
Okay. A thousand whiners.
Carrie Kenny Silver
A thousand whiners.
Mom
Okay, great.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It plays Matthew Whiner, and then we eat.
Mom
Well, no, he sits in a hot tub of a thousand wieners. I guess. I don't know what a whiner would be.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Let's do a whiner. Whiner. A whiner. Whiner and wiener.
Mom
Weiner, weiner and wiener.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, if you could get some Shriners in there.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yes. Weiner, Weiner and Shriner.
Mom
Okay, great. I'm gonna pitch it to him. Ham hung up. Ham hung up.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Ham hung up.
Mom
Ham hung up. I'm gonna pitch that to him. I love it, and I think it plays, and I think we're gonna get you to go viral.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We gotta Get John back on the show.
Mom
I would love to. He's already booked. All right. It's just the pre interview's a struggle. Since I'm here. Do you mind? I just had a few more conversations.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Carrie, I'm sorry about this.
Scott Aukerman
Please.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, you had to go through this process.
Scott Aukerman
No, I feel like this has to happen now.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, I agree.
Mom
I mean, Kerry roundly struck down my idea of doing an interview carrying 500 cans of silver. With Kerry. Kenny Silver.
Scott Aukerman
We had a seven hour pre interview call.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That feels like it's not too short.
Mom
Too short. I agree. We just didn't get to know each other.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
When you say cans of silver, what are you talking about?
Mom
Well, imagine silver. You know, a nickel. Or I guess that's nickel. Is nickel a silver?
Scott Aukerman
That was a detail yet to be worked out. If I had agreed.
Mom
But imagine the Internet.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Why isn't every coin named after the metal that it's made out of?
Mom
Right. Because penny is copper.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Mom
So it should be called coppers.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Mom
Well, then you would think you were paying with police.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, that's a good point.
Mom
I found a copper in my couch.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Anyway, Michael. Lindsey Hogg. Great to see you.
Mom
No, no, no, that's gone. There's just a few others I want to talk through. I do think we're trying to go viral, right? Because this plays, Daddy. This plays.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, I don't love you calling me daddy, but I'll.
Mom
Oh, no, I'm from a different era.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Who am I, Alex Cooper? Come on, get out of here.
Mom
I call you Daddy. Okay. Well, Scott, we got Zway coming back, right?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Great.
Mom
Now Z Way wants to tell a story about the time she made Mario Lopez apologize for promoting toxic masculinity as AC Slater. It's been done. So I'm thinking, has he ever apologized for this? Every interview. Mario Lopez is apologizing for the top three.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Why should he have to apologize? I feel like the creators and writers of Saved by the Bell would be the ones to apologize. Don't you agree?
Scott Aukerman
Lyn, you're an actor.
Mom
What do you think?
Scott Aukerman
He's in the news a lot lately.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Is he? What's he going to do?
Scott Aukerman
Well, I just. He just got. Am I thinking of the right person? He just got served on the tennis court. No, from a process server. A process server.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Let me look this up.
Mom
Your story is that Mario Lopez got served by a process server?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, no, no.
Scott Aukerman
It wasn't Mario Lopez I'm thinking of. Listen, let me just look up.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Process server. I'm going to Google Process server Couldn't have been Mario.
Scott Aukerman
All the court cases and then I'm.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Going to do news. Process server news.
Mom
Okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Be wary off calls. Come on. They meant of if you can't even get the spelling right in your headline. Canton Repository.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, there. They're known for it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Kane County's Judge 100K defamation lawsuit against Geneva blogger stalls for lack of service.
Mom
Geneva blogger? Is that who you were thinking of?
Carrie Kenny Silver
How about celebrity process server? I'm gonna try.
Scott Aukerman
I feel bad that I just said something about someone that might not be true.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You're good, by the way. Mario Lopez, Access Hollywood. You're gonna have to. Or Entertainment Tonight, Whatever he's on. You're gonna have to rub shoulders and cozy up to these people in your Emmy camping. You don't want to be talking about this.
Scott Aukerman
What about the Peabody people? What are they gonna say?
Mom
Kaylee, Kenny Silver apologizes to Mario Lopez while playing Mario World. It plays, Daddy, let's do it.
Scott Aukerman
Let's do it. I'll do whatever it takes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Olivia Wilde. No, this is from three years ago. Never mind.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, perfect. Well, listen, my news could be from three years ago.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's true.
Scott Aukerman
That is.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You have a TV attached to a Twizzler.
Scott Aukerman
So I don't know exactly.
Carrie Kenny Silver
God, I wonder if it was a Mario or whether it was a Lopez or not even any sense.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know. I wish I cared enough to look it up.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, I don't care enough to.
Scott Aukerman
I don't.
Mom
What if George Lopez is suing Mario Cantone and you just combine those.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, this is a good.
Scott Aukerman
See, now, I'm gonna repeat that later. Thinking I heard it somewhere. It has to be true.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What are your other.
Mom
So we got Zway, right? She wants to tell that Mario Lopez story. Obviously, it's got some leg. I don't think it's got legs, daddy. I think it doesn't play. So I'm thinking we get Z way in a ways with Scott Aukerman in front of three bays.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Michael Bay.
Mom
No, no. But before all else, people's favorite partner, your bay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, I see. I thought you meant maybe the Bay of Pigs.
Mom
Well, how would you get. I guess we. If you have the budget, I would love to fly you and Z way down to a Bay of Pigs.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We absolutely do not.
Mom
Okay, well, we can if you could.
Scott Aukerman
Work in a sponsorship for old Bay seasoning.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, what is old Bay season?
Scott Aukerman
Old Bay isn't that you put in for your. You put it on your. On your boil.
Mom
Yeah, you would put Old Bay on any sort of seafood boil, crawfish boil, shrimp boil. You could also put it on french fries if you're having a lobster roll.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So it's a blend of herbs and spices by McCormick & Company.
Scott Aukerman
Today is brought to you by Old Bay Seasoning.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I would love that. I would love for anyone to sponsor this show.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's not a thing.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, we're really having to tighten our belt.
Scott Aukerman
I'll call Old Bay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
That would be incredible. That helps me a lot. I appreciate that. If you can just get me on that call, we'll do a pre interview.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. Michael Bay, Old Bay seasoning and the Bay of Pigs. We're in front of these.
Mom
We're at the Bay of Pigs with Michael Bay and a bunch of Old Bay. Sponsored by Old Bay Seasoning with a bunch of people's partners before all else bays. All right.
Carrie Kenny Silver
In a ways. And we take aways.
Mom
And we take aways with Z way. Who's doing your directions? Essentially.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, this sounds good to me.
Mom
It sounds good. All right. I'll cause you away. All right.
Scott Aukerman
Is it gilding the lily to add the Green Bay Packers?
Mom
I don't think so at all. I don't think so at all.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What about the 2005 Green Bay Packers?
Mom
So you want Favre?
Scott Aukerman
Who doesn't want Favre?
Carrie Kenny Silver
He was in the news recently too.
Scott Aukerman
Was he?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, we don't have to bring that up.
Scott Aukerman
Oh. Oh. Whoops.
Mom
If. It's kind of a rule of threes with Favre now. If he's in the news again, it's like, okay, I've seen the last two, so this one's not going to be good. He showed his penis. He stole money from people.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's the one I was thinking.
Mom
That's what you're thinking of.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, I guess I should be looking these things up.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You really got to Google Brett Farvre every single day just to see what pops up.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you for phonetically spelling it.
Mom
Okay, Scott, I just finished texting the bears.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. Da bears.
Mom
No, not da bears. Not the super truffle.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Which bears are we talking?
Mom
The bear apostrophe s the cast member from the bear. So the bears.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, I see. The bears. Because it sounded like you had a period after that.
Mom
I apologize.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
Okay. I just finished texting the bears. What would happen there? Are you for Colin?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, the bears.
Mom
Like, what would the point be there?
Carrie Kenny Silver
You just run right into it.
Mom
I just finished texting the bears. Evan Moss Bacharach. He's doing the show.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Great.
Mom
He loves the show. He's a big Fan.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is great. I mean, he's never been on the show before. He's in Fantastic Four. First steps.
Mom
He's a fantastic guy. At least based on our conversation. We're having the first steps of getting him on the show. He wants to talk about the time he had an upset tummy on the show.
Carrie Kenny Silver
On which show? The bear. Okay, yeah, it sounds great. I mean, I'll just take him whatever he wants to say, right?
Mom
No, it's a fine story, but what about seven minutes in Eben? So this is. We interspace you inside Ahmed Moss Bacharach. This plays Daddy. You do an interview over Zoom or Riverside or whatever your preference is.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We're in some sort of like. Like craft.
Mom
Yeah, we're not loose. Have you seen Inner Space?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I've seen Inner Space, but I just want to make sure we're not loose swimming around in his bio.
Mom
No, no, you're not loose because that's.
Carrie Kenny Silver
More because he has this upset tummy I've heard about.
Mom
You might be able to solve the upset tummy in the interview. Imagine that. I'm talking Perez Hilton.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's a bad sign when you say I'm talking and have to say for five seconds after you. You can't even think of your first.
Mom
No, I'm going straight to. Is Nikki Fink still Botho.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Nikki Fink told you she's not with us any longer.
Mom
Is that true?
Carrie Kenny Silver
That is true.
Scott Aukerman
This reminds me of that Ms. Frizzle book where she shrinks all the kids down into the school bus and they go up into someone's nose. You should. You're a daddy.
Mom
The Magic School Bus.
Scott Aukerman
The Magic School Bus.
Mom
You don't read the Magic School Bus.
Scott Aukerman
And it went down into the.
Carrie Kenny Silver
To my family. They took maybe one member.
Scott Aukerman
Gather round, family.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oldsters, youngsters alike.
Mom
What are you doing with this fireplace if not gathering your family around?
Scott Aukerman
Great Uncle Jebbiah cozy in instead of.
Mom
A quirky redheaded teacher. It's you, Scott Aukerman, solving Evan Moss Baccarat's tummy problems. Should I give it a go? I'm firing off the text. I got it typed out.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I guess my one question is, does the technology exist?
Mom
Well, I mean, what's the budget on it?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I can't be out there funding research projects.
Mom
Okay, well, I, I. You hired me because you want to go viral.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I do want to go viral, and you went viral on this Get Back documentary where everyone thought you were a fool.
Scott Aukerman
You could go viral for lots of reasons. It doesn't have to be good.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't know that I want to.
Scott Aukerman
You could do it on your own for free.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Internet. Yeah, I know. You know, I don't want to be milkshake ducked.
Mom
Oh, the famous milkshake Duck story.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We loved him, didn't we, folks?
Mom
And then Milkshake Duck got canceled.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Do you have another?
Mom
Of course I do, Scott. I have 30 or 40 people lined up for you. Okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sounds promising.
Mom
Well, it is. And I promise you, this one works. Okay. Gillian Jacobs.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, great. Friend of the show. She's friend of the show. Many times.
Mom
Done it millions of times.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Carrie played her wacky neighbor on I.
Scott Aukerman
Played her wacky neighbor. I lived in her backyard. Go on.
Mom
Okay, well, maybe you. Because it was an insufferable conversation on the phone with her.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I can imagine.
Mom
I could not get any information out of her that was exciting as she keeps it close to the chest we ultimately got.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And the vest.
Mom
We ultimately got that she wants to talk about a time she got an upset tummy recording her podcast.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What is going on?
Scott Aukerman
Is there a blue bug happening? I'm worried about us as a human race.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I know. Are we all dying? Is this another. What was it?
Scott Aukerman
What was the number on that called the pandemic.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh.
Scott Aukerman
Oh. 19.
Mom
19.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Can you believe it was six years ago ago?
Mom
It felt like yesterday.
Scott Aukerman
I'd almost forgotten about it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I know. Boy, the memory is a funny thing, isn't it?
Mom
Gillian wants to talk about that. All right, I said it's Gillian Jacobs. What about we do a million. Make them ups with Gilliam Jacobs. You and Gilliam Jacobs do a million improv scenes? No suggestion. All organic improv.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wait. How about.
Scott Aukerman
So just a conversation?
Mom
Yeah, well, I suppose. But they'll be playing different versions of other people.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You know, different versions of other people. I guess with a million scenes to do, you gotta fill time somehow. So you're gonna do, like, just different universes?
Mom
Yeah. Ask me what an improv scene is. It's different conversations of other people, wouldn't you say?
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's not how I would describe it necessarily. Right off the bat, you might get there.
Mom
Okay, well, how would you define it? I've read every improv book, so. This one. Okay. Improvised by Mick Napier.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
Theater sports by Keith Johnstone.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What's the Del Close one?
Mom
Del Close wrote one.
Carrie Kenny Silver
He wrote a book.
Scott Aukerman
At least I can see it's really paying off.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Del Close wrote one. What about Will Hines? Does you ever read his?
Mom
Oh, yeah, yeah. How to Be the Greatest Improviser Ever or Improv Nonsense. His series of Tumblr posts and two Parts and two books.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Perhaps both of them.
Mom
And all they say is different conversations between different people. You like this idea, I can tell you that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You couldn't even get it out of your mouth.
Mom
Different conversations between different conversations.
Scott Aukerman
I was just like to see the barker outside of a comedy club come in and see different conversations with different people.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Three tickets sold. I don't know, about a million scenes.
Mom
Big nod from you on there. A million scenes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Big nod. No, I'm full on shaking my head.
Scott Aukerman
Nodding out.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, nodding off, perhaps nodding off.
Scott Aukerman
A million. That would be such a long evening of comedy. How do you mean a million?
Carrie Kenny Silver
How long are these scenes? I mean, a million of anything is going to be. Even if it's a million seconds.
Mom
Yeah. Well, that's, that's why it goes viral. That's a long time.
Scott Aukerman
I see.
Mom
That's what I'm seeing. I mean, it plays. Daddy.
Scott Aukerman
Someone may not make it her daddy. I don't.
Carrie Kenny Silver
By the way, a million seconds is 11 days.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. That's a long improv.
Mom
Could you imagine?
Scott Aukerman
No.
Mom
Could you imagine the headlines?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't, I, I think if I had to continuously perform comedy for 11 days without eating or sleep, I mean, sleeping has got to be the big one, right, sweetheart?
Scott Aukerman
We've been continuously performing comedy since 1988.
Mom
Wow. Where'd that big cigar go viral yet?
Carrie Kenny Silver
You look like the baby in Roger Rabbit. Pass. I gotta pass on that one.
Mom
You're passing on Gillian.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Mom
Okay, Gillion, pass on a million.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm gonna move her over to Scott.
Mom
Eisenstein so that you're announcing right now essentially, that that is a bump down to be on that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the main, this is the main cast. Gotta protect it.
Mom
Okay, well, so that's the ETC stage. Maybe she'll make it back to the 20s.
Scott Aukerman
Summer stock. Is this your summer stock?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Thank you. Exactly.
Mom
But Scott, I, I, I thank you so much for letting me interrupt this interview. I really think this was a great interview for the fans. No, I got more. I just, I don't.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You thought we were wrapping up.
Mom
I don't know. You said, is that all you got? And so I thought, you know, and I felt interrupted. Okay, well, the last time.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is the first time any guest has felt bad interrupting.
Mom
I just, I just, I'm not here to be a part of the show. I want the show to be. The show was already incredible.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Thank you. I mean, I thought it was such a good interview in the first season.
Scott Aukerman
Such a good. I think we all can agree.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And we were off to the races with the part two of the interview.
Scott Aukerman
Where we were gonna. I think just this interview might win us all a Peabody.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, I think so. Man, the Peabodys are stacked this year.
Scott Aukerman
I think they have a lot left over from last year. They forgot to give out.
Carrie Kenny Silver
They forgot to give them out last year. God. I meant to send them a reminder text.
Scott Aukerman
Practically giving them away.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow.
Mom
Well, it was Warren Beatty doing it. He just kind of slipped his mind, I think.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Anyway, you got another one.
Mom
Well, I just want to say this interview here is incredible for the. The fans who love it already.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
We're trying to bring in the wider audience out there, the people who.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We want to cast our nets a little bit wider.
Mom
Exactly. So that's all I'm trying to do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Podcast our nets.
Mom
We don't want to podcast. Okay, that's something. Hang on.
Scott Aukerman
That's an episode. I think that's an episode.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's true.
Mom
Podcasting nets with the New Jersey Nets. So we get.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And we don't get the gross off the ticket sales. We get the net. Yes.
Mom
Okay. Okay. Do you want to announce that in the viral title that you only get the net of the ticket sales?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I think people kind of want. We get 100% of the net after cost.
Mom
Okay, great. Well, who else. Who else do you have coming up? Because I've got a few more calls.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, bride month is out. Its conclusion, unfortunately.
Mom
Or who are your. Your other bucket list gets.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, man. Who would I love on this show, boy? Who are some of your comedy idols?
Scott Aukerman
I was going to get Michelle Obama.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Michelle Obama.
Mom
Okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Great comedy idol of all of ours.
Mom
No more drama with Michelle Obama. And I did say moshell, which we can. We can fix. But if you want to do that.
Scott Aukerman
I think I said she's going to love that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
ARFs or something. Anyway, go ahead.
Mom
No more drama with Michelle Obama. So you and Michelle and all you do is comedic improv scenes. Up to a million of them.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. You're just recycling old ideas.
Mom
Well, no, this is no more drama. It's a.
Scott Aukerman
No more drama with Michelle Obama at Benihana.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yes.
Mom
Okay, thank you. Can you imagine Michelle Obama? If she wants to wear the hat, that's fine. We don't force her.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Flipping shrimp into her hat.
Mom
Flipping shrimp into her hat. Throwing eggs at men who get really scared of them and then get really puffed up that they were. Weren't really scared about it.
Scott Aukerman
As I would watch.
Mom
Okay, Carrie is on board. All right. So, okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Carrie's attached.
Mom
I think all we needed was.
Scott Aukerman
Well, I wouldn't go that far, but.
Carrie Kenny Silver
When you say on board, I guess I'm a little confused.
Scott Aukerman
I'm not mad at it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay. Oh, okay. That's a new category of attachment in Hollywood. Not mad at it.
Scott Aukerman
Not going to sue you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, great.
Mom
How about that? How about that? We'll print that. I'm actually going to hit all the trades with that Carrie Kenny Silver, not going to sue over no more drama with Michelle Obama idea.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, that's clickbait.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Definitely. I mean, I guess I would click on that just to figure out what you were talking about.
Scott Aukerman
A lot of word jazz.
Mom
This is why you pay me. This is why you let me rent out.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm paying you.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a second. He's getting paid?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I had no idea. What do you think you're getting paid? We never talked about this.
Mom
Oh, I just assumed. I mean, I'm looking up. Let me just look up the living.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What did the Beatles pay you?
Mom
What did the Beatles pay me?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Mom
Oh, that was just. It was a mix of exposure and I got to. I got to talk to and pitch songs to Linda whenever I want. Wanted.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay. Did it ever work? Any of the songs end up on any of the. The Wings albums?
Mom
I forget. Is there a song on any of the Wings albums called let's Get. Let's Get Crazy?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I actually don't know.
Mom
If there is. That's me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's you.
Mom
And it's all.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What were you. What were you writing about?
Mom
It's just like losing your minds with your friends sometimes.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. What a great topic.
Mom
Yeah, right?
Carrie Kenny Silver
How did it go? Like, let's get crazy.
Mom
Come on, now. Let's get crazy. You and me, Paul. Let's get crazy. Everybody, let's get crazy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is a hit. This is a hit song.
Mom
Okay, well, if the Wings didn't take it, you can have it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, I would love to record this. What about Cake?
Scott Aukerman
Like, this would be a great debut album for you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What about your band Cake? Like, maybe they want to record it.
Mom
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
It's. I think it's too advanced for us.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay.
Scott Aukerman
Just from what I'm hearing from the chorus, you had kind of a rudimentary syncopation.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, No, I could do this really well.
Mom
I could redo it for you. I could redo it for you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Less syncopation.
Scott Aukerman
Less syncopation. And remember, I'm an alto.
Mom
That's a good catchphrase. Do you need a catchphrase?
Scott Aukerman
I do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm an alto. I would love to put up posters of you on bus Stops. It just says, kerry Kenny Silver. Big picture of you. Remember, I'm in alto. And then everyone would be like, what the fuck is going on here? I think this boosts your Emmy campaign.
Scott Aukerman
About every year I check change my headstone line. I think that may be my new one.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That is fascinating to me.
Scott Aukerman
I change my. Anytime a new photo of me comes out that I like, I announce to everyone within earshot that this is the photo that I would like played at the Emmys in my immemorium when they find my foot in a river. And then every year, I have a new headstone. Up until today, it was. People would take me more seriously if I wore eyeshadow.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I can't wait to go to your headstone. I don't want to.
Scott Aukerman
We can go after this.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, really? You already have it after.
Scott Aukerman
I like to just keep it up, get it ready.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, so it already exists, and the engravers are having to go out there and redo it every single year.
Scott Aukerman
So pricey.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
So pricey.
Mom
It's worth it, though.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, it will be someday.
Mom
It's image. It's beautiful.
Scott Aukerman
Who are you really?
Mom
Just so you know, I've been taking photos of you since you said that. Because I'm hoping to get the next photo.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's not creepy.
Mom
Do any of these work? No, no, it's the next photo.
Scott Aukerman
But these are under the table.
Carrie Kenny Silver
These are upskirts, Michael.
Scott Aukerman
That's bizarre. I'm not even wearing a skirt, and you're looking up my skirt somehow.
Mom
Okay, so what, you want me to airdrop them to you or what's the idea here?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Michael, come on, man.
Scott Aukerman
Also, all the sketches that you did of me from the corner. Yeah, not creepy at all.
Mom
This is the new sketch of you. All right.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, you're playing soccer in this one, at least. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, look at me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Have you ever played soccer before?
Scott Aukerman
Eating a hot dog? I have a crazy mustache.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Look, Michael, I gotta say this. What Was a casual conversation after your last appearance on the show about how we need a better booking process now turns into you're bothering my guests for hours at a time and I'm supposedly paying you.
Mom
Oh, it's no bother. It's no bother. I mean, I love. No, no, no.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You can't say that on other people's behalf. You're bothering them.
Mom
No, I don't think so.
Carrie Kenny Silver
The person who bothers shouldn't be able to say it's no bother.
Mom
It's true. Truly, Scott, it is no bother. It's a nice conversation. And that's what. Don't you think that's what we're missing these days is just a nice, real conversation with celebrities. And that's what I'm having on the phone with all your guests.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm trying to get back to that on this show. And then it turns out to be stuff like this. Stuff like you interrupting me and.
Mom
Well, no, no, no, I understand that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I gotta cut off. I should cut all this out, right?
Scott Aukerman
Our editor is still bro. I don't know why you would. I feel like you might get your Old Bay seasoning sponsorship if it was longer.
Carrie Kenny Silver
All right, let me leave it in. Just for the Old Bay seasoning.
Mom
They pay for time on a lot of YouTube and ad stuff.
Scott Aukerman
That's what I'm thinking.
Mom
I just feel like I really fucked up today, Scott. I'm sorry, man.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I agree.
Mom
I'm sorry, man.
Carrie Kenny Silver
If you don't mind, I do not forgive you.
Mom
If you don't mind, just give me, like, two months to find a new place to work out of the. Of like a wework or something like that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You almost say to stay. Have you been staying here in the studio?
Mom
Well, you know, I don't. I guess, yeah, in a sense, yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
In what sense? In physically.
Mom
Like that. My body and mind and all are here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
All that stuff, really full circle. Everything.
Mom
My clothes, my dinner parties.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You're having dinner parties in the studio?
Mom
Well, yeah. I mean, you're not in it when I'm doing it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No shit.
Scott Aukerman
Of course.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You haven't invited me.
Mom
Well, I would love to, but then you'd be mad that I'm having dinner parties in your studio. Do you understand?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Well, now I know about him. Stop it. I don't want you living here.
Mom
Okay, two months. Give me two months. I'm so sorry, Kerry. I'm so sorry. I'm such a. I love you both and I think you do great work. And I just want everyone to know about this interview and that's all I'm trying to do here.

All right, two months. Two months. Starting now, though. The end of bride month.
Mom
Okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. So the end of Aug. Oggy doggy, you're out of here.
Mom

Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, so what do we need to do? Wait. How does the school year affect you?
Mom

Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
New Year's resolution time. He's starting up his exercise routine. Routine for the year.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. It's tough on people. Tell you what. Okay. Once you start your exercise routine.
Mom
Okay.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What. How. How long do you need to start that up? Like March.
Mom
Yeah. Three months sounds about right. Because you don't. You. You don't want to go too hard, too fast.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
It's about slow. One percent better every day.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Can we say March 31st? But then you got.
Scott Aukerman
You got April the next day. Oh, true.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. All those pranks you planned.
Mom
Yeah, that's. I spend most of April or March planning my April Fools. Most of April.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Most of April would be a little either late or way early.
Scott Aukerman
It's for next year.
Mom
Yeah. You get ahead of the April because you have to be ready for the next April, and then you're free. So.
Carrie Kenny Silver

Carrie Kenny Silver
You were a guest on the show. As a guest. As a real guest, not as an interrupter.
Mom
Social anxiety and the Internet and. Yeah, with everything going on you've been.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Doing since the 60s. Did we cover this last episode?
Mom
Yeah, I directed a lot of movies. I found out that Orson Welles is my father. Oh, that's right. And I've been just dealing with that. A lot of therapy. Acupuncture.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How much acupuncture are we talking? You say a lot.
Mom
Three times a day. Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Three a day.
Scott Aukerman
Wow.
Mom
Yeah, well, the first, because I have three different acupuncturists and they all disagree with each other.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So they're canceling each other's pin pricks out.
Mom
Yeah, they're kind of like in a war with each other through my body that I'm experiencing.
Scott Aukerman
You're so relaxed.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Michael, Lindsay Hogg is here. We, you know, every once in a while on this show, Carrie, and I hope you don't mind, though, this is the last thing we're doing during bride month. But every once in a while, we like to give back. Oh, we At Comedy Bang Bang, we care.

Mom
Wow.

Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Right.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You're not quite a movie star.

You're a movie director, but you're. But you haven't made anything for years.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And I'm a mom.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, I wasn't saying you were part of the Voltron necessarily, but. And then me, I have no career to speak of.
Scott Aukerman
If we all combine forces, just imagine.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Into Michael Carey Scott.
Mom
Imagine us showing up as the, like, big guest star. Grandpa on the bear, where everyone's like, can you believe the. They got all the big names here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Remember when Ed Asner was on ER and he was. Oh, my. He was kind of. He was grouchy. But he struck up a friendship with Dr. Carter and then it turned out that he was scamming him out of all this money. Anyway, Mom. Hello.

Michael Lindsay Hogg

Michael Lindsay Hogg
It's a favor. I know the owner.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. I mean, I would hope so. You work there?
Scott Aukerman
I do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Did you know him before you worked there?

Mom
I'm a wife.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Second, my kids. My kids are 19 and 43.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I have so many questions.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yeah, but really what I'm trying to.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Get at here is 24 years in between kids. What was going on?
Scott Aukerman
And you look so young.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Same husband. First one was an accident.
Mom
The kids have the same husband or you have them with the same husband?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Kids have the same husband.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How does that work? So your 19 year old and your 43 year old both are in like a throuple relationship with the same guy. This guy.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
They are. They are beautiful.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's. I mean, hey, it's a modern world.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Love is love.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm not here to judge.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Here's what I'm really like getting out here. Is that the 14th thing on the list? I am, is. I'm a lover. But this is new to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, it took you 24 years to have sex again.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It did. It did.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I wouldn't necessarily characterize yourself as a lover, but I guess you could be having recreational. Recreational sex or.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It's new to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What's new to you, dear?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm learning. So I'm here in Los Angeles to talk to as many people as I can about this because I just now learned about this. Carrie, I hope. I hope you know that women can also orgasm.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a second.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, I mean, this is news to me. I. I did know this.
Scott Aukerman
I read about it, but I. I didn't. I wasn't gonna fully buy into the concept until I met a real life in the flesh lady.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What is this triggered by? Is this triggered by the male orgasm first or.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Well, that's what I thought.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Gets the woman it that I was.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I was also reading these fiction books about women orgasming and I thought, never happened to me. Just like, you know, aliens coming to the earth.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But aliens have never come to the earth.
Mom
To you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
To you.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
To me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, what about. I should go around the table. Michael.
Mom
Aliens have never come around the earth to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, Carrie, is this.
Scott Aukerman
Aliens have never come around the Earth. Earth to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yes, that's right. Okay. Yeah, you have a quorum here. We've never seen aliens.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No, but. And it sounds like none of you have ever seen a woman have the big O either.
Mom
Well, I've watched When Harry Met Sally.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yeah, but wasn't the whole point of that that she was faking it?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, I forgot that part.
Mom
Oh, I thought you really liked the sandwich and that's why the woman wanted it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's. That's how it stuck in my mind too. Isn't it weird? It's. This is like a Berenstein Bears kind of thing. Like, I thought When Harry Met Sally was all about this. These two people who go and eat these really delicious sandwiches.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, that is what it's about.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Isn't it? Right?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
If I recall, I told Rob Brennan, like, cute sweaters. Yeah, they're Orgasming from yummy sandwiches. And the lady's like, I'll have what she's having.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
They're covered in mustard. The whole.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You brought the cigar out again for that?
Scott Aukerman
Well, I use it as a punctuation.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So how has this changed your life? I mean, you had. You had one.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
How does it change? It's changed. It's changed my life for the better. I'll tell you, Carrie, you really should just think about it.
Scott Aukerman
Just look into it when you get home though, please. What? Not on my way home, I guess.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, not here in the studio.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, Siri.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But you can do it on your way home if you want.
Mom
Yes, Carrie.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wait, is that how your series is?
Scott Aukerman
That's my ser. That was. I just activated my.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Siri.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, Siri, what would you like, Carrie? I'm wondering about. First of all, I want to stop and get a sandwich on my way home. Please give me the quickest route and tell me how to achieve this orgasm before I get there.
Mom
Giving you directions to east side Italian deli and your clitoris turn. Well, I won't.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
What? Why did Sheri stop?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I just bailed, so.
Mom
Excuse me. I didn't want to give the actual directions, which I was about to do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, please don't. Don't give away my assassination coordinates.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
But I'm first time in la. This is very exciting to me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Where are you from?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm originally from. I. I raised my family in Fitch Market, Ohio.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Fitzmarket, Ohio. I've heard of it. And then you moved after that?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No, I still live out there.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How did you phrase it that way? I raised my family there. And then. You trailed off as if you were going to continue and say, but then we moved to.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No, both my kids are now married to the same husband. So, you know, it's not really raising a family anymore.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Meet their husband. Did they meet him individually or.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
They did. My 43 year old, she met him when she was grocery shopping at a Kroger down on Main Street.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, and what was he doing? Was he working there? Was he. Was he on his. Three hours a week?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
He was on a part. Yes, he was a part time Kroger employee. Big friends of the people who work there. And then my 19 year old met him at their wedding.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay.
Scott Aukerman
Well, that's convenient.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's romantic. I guess. I mean, you know, you go to a wedding and it's like you hear about hookups. If the wedding didn't. Did. Did they hook up on the wedding night?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
They did.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
They did. He consummated it both for both of them.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible story.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It's really.
Scott Aukerman
Love story for the ages.
Mom
I love it because you always see when the. When the woman catches the. When the bride catches the bouquet.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
My youngest caught it.
Mom
You always see the husband go, that could be me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wait, so when you're watching wedding videos and you see the bouquet, usually it focuses on the camera, zooms in on whoever caught it, right? But then it'll pan over to the husband and you see a recognition in the husband's eyes saying, this could be me marrying this second wife.
Mom
Yeah, that's what every man thinks. That I think, you know, on your wedding day is, oh, okay, what if.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I had a second.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
The garter too, right? You zoom in on the woman and she goes, huh?
Carrie Kenny Silver
What is that garter? When you catch the garter, what does that represent?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
You have to have sex with the wife.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a second. Have I been doing this all wrong?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't know. Do you have a garter at your wedding?
Scott Aukerman
I'm wearing one now, but I didn't have one at my wedding. Something has to hold up my stockings.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's true. And those high heeled shoes that you keep trotting out the door with.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I'm a lady, after all.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So this. This changed your life.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I mean, it changed my life. And now I have this deep need to tell all the women, all the.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Women everywhere, that it's possible. How did you.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Possible.
Carrie Kenny Silver
How did you achieve it, if you don't mind me asking? And. And you know, with as many details as you're comfortable with sharing.
Scott Aukerman
PG for our audience.
Carrie Kenny Silver
PG 13, though, you can say once, but not about actual, you know, the act of having sex.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Was that the. That. That was the only one.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, I used it.
Scott Aukerman
You can say, though, okay, this is a special. Just. I heard a special children's episode that you were doing. Just one. One podcast episode a year is for.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's just for kids 6 to 9.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Is that this one?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Yeah, but that's. It's fine. Yeah.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Okay. Okay. Well, so my husband. I wasn't even thinking about it. And I think that's the key, is.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You don't want to take your mind off what you're doing.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Exactly. So my husband, he's going downtown with his D dong, and I'm. My eyes are sort of.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What's the first D stand for?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
His d Dong? His horse.
Carrie Kenny Silver
His devil's dong.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
His devil's dong.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
His devil's dong. Dong.
Mom
If it's aroused, it becomes the devil's Dong.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Got it. So he's going downtown. Now, first of all, not to interrupt again, but when I hear he's going downtown, he's going. I think of. He's not doing it with his d. Dong. He's going downtown in terms of an oral capacity.
Scott Aukerman
Well, also, you just mentioned Main street, so I'm really confused.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. These directions.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. I don't know where I'm. Where do I turn? Left.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It's okay. It's If. If you're not familiar with the Ohio area, it. Just feel free to close your eyes and just enjoy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So he's going downtown.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
He's going downtown on his Devil D? Nong. And on it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Anyway, Go ahead.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
My eyes are closed because I'm just trying to focus on anything but that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And do you not enjoy sex?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I do now.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, you did it at this particular time. You're focusing on something else.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm focusing on something else. And I imagine. I. I imagine a. A. A woman walks into the room. And the woman. And the woman.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, here she comes.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yes. She just got off a. A big elephant outside.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's her snapping the garters.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
She's. She's snapping both her garters, and she's. And that's her putting her.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Takes the ball gag out of her mouth.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And I'm like, take off the blindfold, too. And she. And then. And then suddenly it hits me. I say, something overcomes me, and I start feeling tingly.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You are turned on at this moment because you're imagining a woman coming into the room and observing you. Do you think the observing was part of it, or do you think.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Could be.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Maybe. Could be you're more sexually attracted to women.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No.
Scott Aukerman
That was quick.
Mom
Nope.
Carrie Kenny Silver
A quick no or quick for me to offer?
Scott Aukerman
Quick no.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Oh, no, I don't think so. I don't think it's that at all.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You don't think it's that? Can I ask you some questions about, you know, when you go out on the town, go for it, and you see a very attractive woman walk into the establishment you're in, what goes through your mind?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Well, my first thought is, well, you know, I'm a mom. I'm a mom first. I'm a wife second.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Are you constantly cycling through your rankings because now I feel like you have ocd.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
No, it's just a quick little reminder.
Scott Aukerman
I am a mom. But when I walk into places, my first thought when I walk through a door is not, I'm a mom.
Mom
Is it always the same first thought, or is it different for which room you're walking into?
Scott Aukerman
Never.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm a mom usually. I'm trying to figure out a second escape route. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Just like Jack. That's what dads do.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm a reacher guy.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
So you're a reacher first.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm a reacher first.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
You're a man second. You're a podcaster. Third.
Mom
I was in the room when Meredith Brooks wrote the song Bitch. I feel like this is the process. What's that?
Carrie Kenny Silver
What were you doing?
Mom
I was trying to pitch Meredith Brooks on a documentary about her first album because I knew it was gonna be huge. I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother. But this is what it was. It was just the bitch version. Yeah. And it was just kind of picking out which. Which scanned with the song.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Right.
Mom
Because she was. She's a. She's a equine enthusiast. But that just didn't work out with the song.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Was that number one or two or. It was up there.
Mom
It was after Lover.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, okay.
Mom
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover. I'm an equine enthusiast, I'm a Lex.
Scott Aukerman
Hummel figurines. That didn't make it.
Mom
That didn't make it wordy. I fought hard for that. I said, meredith, Right?
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is relatable.
Mom
This is relatable. Hummel might sponsor this. I don't know if there are. If it's a person or a brand.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
But, yeah, I wish she had mentioned that, because I had that question. When listening to it, I go, well, this is a nice song. But is she a.
Scott Aukerman
What does she collect Exactly.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. What does she do in her downtime?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Is she sleeping? Is she collecting? I don't know.
Mom
There should be a response song that's asking Meredith Brooks questions about what else she's doing.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And that's the thing is, like, we sleep most of our lives. You know what I mean? That should be number one on the list. I'm a sleeper.
Mom
Yeah, I'm a sleeper.
Scott Aukerman
And I'm assuming she doesn't know how to swim. Cause she didn't mention that she's a swimmer.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. Don't throw her in a deep lake.
Mom
I wish you had been in the room with me. They were making me sound like I'm incensed.
Scott Aukerman
The more I think about it, they.
Mom
Would give me the meanest looks when I was like, well, people are going to ask if you're a swimmer. They'd be like, all right, Michael, why don't you go get us lunch? And I Was like, all right, that's fine.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Were you an intern this day? I mean, you're getting.
Mom
Well, yeah. I wanted to direct a documentary out of it, but ultimately I was. I was moving the. The boom arm of her microphone higher and low.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Were you living in the studio there?
Mom
I was working out of it.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
You were living there?
Mom
I was having. I was doing my dinner for schmucks there.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wait, those are your dinner parties? You have the dinner for schmucks parties?
Mom
Yeah, I just. Well, not anymore, because I just found out recently. I was always the schmuck. Can you believe that?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
You're a schmuck first, director second.
Carrie Kenny Silver
An unwitting schmuck first.
Mom
Anyway, I'm sorry, I do want. Because I think I'm learning here because I would like to be able to give my partners orgasms.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. How do you say we should? Because Michael and I have never experienced it. But we'd love to give that to our partners. Are you with someone right now, Michael?
Mom
I think she left.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, I'm not interested. Anyway, we'd love to give our partners this experience. What techniques would you suggest that we use?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I would suggest that you tell her to close her eyes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And tell her to think about anything else. Okay. And see who walks in that door in her mind. And I have a feeling it's probably gonna be a beautiful woman with long blonde hair.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Long blonde hair. Okay, how long?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Down to her ankles.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's like crystal Gale.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And it's. And it's braided, so when she unbraids it, it's even longer.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, this is too long now. I'm not turned on anymore.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Well, it's not for you, Scott, but.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is what you're into. You're into someone with the longest hair.
Scott Aukerman
It Sounds like a children's 70s television program.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Sounds like it's something Fred Guinness would. Longest hairstyle or something.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I think you're getting a little confused about what I'm into. This isn't what I'm into. This is just what makes me orgasm.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Mom
Because you're into your husband.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm into my husband. I love his deep d. His D Dog. His D Dong. And I'll do anything for that D Dong.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, I believe her.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. I'm turned on also.
Carrie Kenny Silver
This is what you're into now.
Scott Aukerman
I am.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. You might be thinking about this on the drive home with Siri.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, yes, Scott, Description like that.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I don't. I don't need you, Siri.
Mom
Okay, Scott, remind me. Reminder. You've got that ER screaming Later.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Thank you, Siri.
Mom
You're welcome, brother.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, put In a reminder. April 30th, we get dirty.
Mom
Oh, exciting.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'll know what that means.
Mom
Okay. On April 30th, we get dirty.
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, I haven't heard that. April 30th, we get dirt.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I haven't heard that Siri voice. And you both have it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, it's with the liquid interface on the new iPhone, the new iOS.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Guess.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it's from the liquid interface.
Mom
Yeah, I'm from the liquid interface.
Carrie Kenny Silver
We all know exactly what I'm talking about. I got every word. Right. So. So. So all we have to say is, when we get out our d dongs, close your eyes.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Think of something else and think of someone walking into the room.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yes. Put yourself anywhere but here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Where were you, by the way?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I was in my marriage bed.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Right. I physically. But when you say put yourself anywhere but here, like in your mind's eye, where were you at the time?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I was at a hospital.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Like, I was in the hospital. I was thinking more the pit. More of a.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Gotten to it.
Mom
You got to finish these to understand what she's talking about here. You got to catch up.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I was in.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I haven't even seen Landman, and there's some guy who comes on here talking about being a water man every once in a while. I have no idea what they're talking about.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm a water man. He's a waterman.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Hey, get out of here. No one likes you.
Mom
Take it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And you've been on twice. Get out of here.
Mom
My good man.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Wow.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Who was that?
Carrie Kenny Silver
I can't even remember his name.
Mom
Russ Saro. He's a water man.
Scott Aukerman
You just have so many people coming and going here.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Look, it's an open door policy, and it's been that way since the beginning. And I. At some point I have to change.
Scott Aukerman
It if it ain't broke.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's a good point.
Mom
Now, as a public service announcement, I remember these being, like, funded by the government as, like, you know, for smoking or this. Your brain on drugs or. Oh, I didn't know you guys funded those.
Scott Aukerman
It's different state, but.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, yeah. Or. Or an organization, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, for instance. Are you against anything like that? Or.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I'm pro orgasm.
Mom
You're.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay, so mothers four.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Orgasm.
Scott Aukerman
Orgasm. Them Moo Moos.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
If anybody would like to join the mofos, we are taking submissions right now. It is a pretty intense process to join, though.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
You could make some real money in merchandising on these mofos.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, exactly. How. How what? What's the process of joining?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Well, first I. It's a lot of paperwork, unfortunately, because I go through each application. It's a very tight grade group that we are. You have to list who you are. I want the first 20s.
Carrie Kenny Silver
What's that? Oh, the old meaning the rankings of what we are first.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Of what you are first. And then. And then I go through them and then I think about them and I pray over them and I. And I close my eyes and I throw a die. And whose ever application the die lands on, I say you're. You are now a mofo.
Mom
Can I just ask you. Your eyes were closed while you were describing that? Who were you picturing podcasting with in that moment?
Carrie Kenny Silver
And who walked into the room?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Well, with my eyes closed, I imagine that is it Marc Maron.
Carrie Kenny Silver
She's not gonna be doing the show soon, so you gotta get him out of your mind.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Oh, no, it's never a man. It's never a man. I was closing my eyes. I think it was a beautiful redheaded woman and she was walking in a room and she was covered in blue paint. She had blue paint on her.
Carrie Kenny Silver
A red headed woman with blue paint. I think maybe this is Mystique from the X Men franchise.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And she keeps disappearing on.
Scott Aukerman
Have you ever seen that Smurf porn that went around for a while? It was like a Dutch. No, it's real.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That maybe crossed my inbox at some point, but I didn't.
Scott Aukerman
Fun for people to Google for dessert after this podcast. But it's real Smurf porn. Go on.
Mom
Is it? Because I never saw it. Is it animated or.
Scott Aukerman
No, no, it's live action and they didn't have the. The best quality body paint. It seems a lot of transfer.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Oh, the poor location scout probably had to do a lot of cleaning up after that.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, yeah. So you're worth it though.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Rebecca Romijn or Jennifer Lawrence. Either one.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I don't know their names.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Are you into her powers or are you just into her looks?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I don't know, but she wasn't wearing a bra.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Well, Mystique is famously naked in those films because she's a shape shifter. Shifter. And so when she shape shifts into another character, her body, you know, forms the clothes that that character is wearing.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Wow. No, it could have been. It could have been.
Carrie Kenny Silver
But this woman sounds like I'm into her powers more than you.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
This isn't about. You don't need to orgasm. You. We already know.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Do you mind if I think of Rebecca Romijn? And Jennifer Lawrence naked in the mystique Paint I do while I orgasm.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Scott, open your eyes, please. Open your eyes.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Okay. Oh, all right. Okay. But it. But it's wonderful to have you on. Unfortunately, we're running out of time. We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. All right. Oh, nice and short, too. That was Gimme Dat by Levi Signs. Thank you so much to Levi Signs. And what do we plug and carry? Obviously the Four Seasons.
Scott Aukerman
Ah, the four Seasons on Netflix. Why not?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Then you're going back into production in September and that takes about three months.
Scott Aukerman
You were saying it'll be back out again next year. At the same time.
Carrie Kenny Silver
At the same time. June, how many seasons do you want to do with this?
Scott Aukerman
Till I don't die.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Till you die.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, you asked me how. How many do I think there will be? Probably not that many. But wouldn't that be great?
Carrie Kenny Silver
It'd be great if, like, it could sort of coincide. You know what I mean? Like the very. The very last episode.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I don't want to live forever, but I would like.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You have, like, a heart attack on screen.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, and they use it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And they use it.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, talk about a Peabody.
Carrie Kenny Silver
There we go. Anything else in the can that you have coming up?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, some guest stuff. And then we've got the state documentary, which hopefully will be available to the masses soon.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I would love to watch it. Well, this. I mean, the four seasons is enough. This is a major project. It took months to film.
Scott Aukerman
I'm tired from it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah, I would imagine. Yeah. And I love that you're coming here for bride month when it's your summer off.
Scott Aukerman
I wouldn't have come, but it is bride month.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yes. Thank you so much. And Michael Lindsey Hogg, what are you plugging?
Mom
Well, I want to just chime in on the state. I think you do a screening. You all the state, 600 undersized Samoans all in the audience. We film it. We make a documentary about the documentary screening. It plays Daddy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Yeah. This is the same idea you pitched the Beatles. And if it wasn't even good enough for the Beatles, why would the state do it? Although some people have called the state the Beatles of comedy.
Scott Aukerman
And why did I feel like kind of good about myself that you called me Daddy?
Mom
I was like, oh, I tell you, it works. I pitched for years. And look at me where I am now.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Look, you can pitch. It's like asking people out. Eventually you'll get one. Yes.
Mom
You miss 100% of the pools you.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Don'T dive in and you miss 99% of the shots that you take.
Mom
It's true. We were shooting around right before this. Well, I plugged that big grande. Dan Lippert, Ryan Rosenberg, Drew Tarver, John Mackey are putting out a new series shortly. It's biggrandewebsite.com, you can listen to Mandog podcast, the improv and conversation podcast anywhere. And go to cbbworld.com for Eat, Pray, Dunk, the Bill Walton podcast, and hey, Randy.
Carrie Kenny Silver
All right, fantastic. And mom, what would you like to plug?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Yes, 10th, I'm an improviser on improv.
Carrie Kenny Silver
You're an improviser. Have you read these books that Michael Lindsey Hogg has read?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I have. My favorite is the Del Close one.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And what was that called?
Michael Lindsay Hogg
It was called I'm a Man, get out of my Way Guru.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I mean, that's a lot of people's improv styles.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I really enjoyed that.
Scott Aukerman
That one.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
But I. I'm also on Herald Night. That's my number 11. I'm on Herald Night. I'm on a team called Cowboy Mama and we perform every other Monday is at the UCB theater on Franklin in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles. I come all the way from Ohio. Or you can just live stream it.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Fantastic. And I want to plug. Hey, you know Michael, Lindsay Hogg, he mentioned CBB World. Head on over there. You get ad free new episodes of this show. You get gets the Entire archive, all 900 and some odd episodes we've done every live episode we've ever done. Plus new shows like my show Scott hasn't seen, where we watch movies I haven't seen before, which I'm shunting Gillian Jacobs off to. We also have the neighborhood. Listen, we have Collegetown. We have CBB presents with hey Randy and who me with the Batman. So much stuff over there, you really gotta check it out. And it's very, very affordable. We keep the prices down for you. All right, let's close up. The old plug bag. We all have bags and they need some clothes and we need these bags.
Mom
Because we're nosing that in. These bags are lots of love.
Carrie Kenny Silver
So just grab the piece of thread.
Scott Aukerman
And.
Carrie Kenny Silver
And tie it up real tight.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
And then.
Carrie Kenny Silver
Oh, wow, that was Teenage Plug Bag by Frank Burns. Is that the Frank Burns from that television show with all the doctors, the Pit? No.
Scott Aukerman
Is it called er?
Carrie Kenny Silver
No, I'm thinking of that other one, Mash.
Scott Aukerman
The original er.
Carrie Kenny Silver
The Mash. Yes. Guys, I want to thank you so much. Carrie Pleasure to have you on the show finally.
Scott Aukerman
So good to be here. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I'm so sorry that your interview got interrupted by this guy.
Scott Aukerman
You know what? I kind of think it was for the better.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It was meant to be.
Scott Aukerman
It was meant to be, in a way.
Mom
I beg you for forgiveness. I'm begging for forgiveness. I beg you forgiveness for forgiveness.
Carrie Kenny Silver
It's not. It's not happening.
Mom
Please forgive me.
Carrie Kenny Silver
I feel like you have a humiliation kink or something like that.
Mom
Let me close my eyes.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
Who's walking in? Who's walking in?
Carrie Kenny Silver
Dr. Manhattan's walking in from Watchmen. He's another blue guy. He doesn't have red hair, though. It would be a different thing if Dr. Manhattan had red hair. Like, just like a red, curly hair.
Mom
Everyone's. That's why he goes off and he's like, I don't understand these people as they're all bullying him for being around.
Carrie Kenny Silver
They're all making fun of his hair. All right. And mom, thank you so much for being here. And you know what? I hope you get another orgasm. I really think you got to just move into a relationship with a woman.
Scott Aukerman
Call us if you do.
Michael Lindsay Hogg
I think one is enough for a lifetime.
Carrie Kenny Silver
That's a good point.
Mom
