But first, before we get to that, let me give you a little background about what we're doing today.
D
Oh, no.
C
It was March of the year 2025.
D
God damn.
C
The citizens of Los Angeles, still reeling from the Southern California wildfires that had ravaged the state, were tentatively attempting to get back into their normal daily routines. And that included one young comedian whose television program had premiered at the beginning of the month. Its name was Deli Boys. It's no small feat for a young comedian to appear on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. It was usually the result of years of putting in one's dues. First open mics, then moving from opening sets to middling. Finally, after one achieved headlining status, the call of Hollywood beckons. And if one was lucky, there might be a dropout of the scheduled a block guest on this comedy institution, and a comedian could finally get their foot in the door. And that is what happened that day. But then, during the show, something astounding occurred. It was an enjoyable 90 minutes. And in the middle of that, a promise was made from the comedian to the host. An unshakable pledge that the listeners would cling to during this difficult year, giving them a glimmer of hope in what could so often feel like a year of ever expanding despair. But was that promise kept? The answer might surprise you. Let's find out together. Please welcome back to the show and into the Two Timers Club, Asif Ali.
A
Hi.
D
Hi. I thank you so much. And, and, and listen, I know the tone of my voice makes it sound like I'm not taking this seriously, but I do. I do want to for. Formally apologize.
C
Before we get to that, let's talk about what the. What the promise was, because. Okay, yes, yes, I do want to hear this apology. But before we get to that, is an apology even necessary? Let's talk about what was said.
D
Yes. So we were in the middle of recording.
C
You, by the way, are one of the stars of this.
D
I'm number one in the call sheet.
C
You're number one. That's right. We discussed that.
D
Yes.
C
It's called Deli Boys. It's on fx. On Hulu.
D
It's on Hulu. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And, and so we were here.
C
It's a charming show about two.
D
As you've written down, there's no other.
C
Way to say it but Deli Boys.
D
Yeah, two deli boys. And as you've written down, two barely legal South Asian boys running.
C
Yes, I wrote that down right here. And I highlighted it.
D
And again, I don't know why you did that twice. It seems to be a real sticking point with you. And they take over their father's empire. When he dies, we find out that our father was actually running the mob. He runs a cocaine smuggling business in the town of Shit Gag Philadelphia. It shoots in Chicago.
C
What?
D
Yeah, but it's set in Philadelphia. Scott, let me explain to you how Hollywood works, okay? Sometimes you shoot in a city, but it's set in a different city.
C
And for this reason, I'm out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
D
But let me remind you, these young South Asian boys are dripping in sweat.
C
Oh, that's right. Okay, okay, I'm back in.
E
I'm back.
D
Guys are absolutely.
C
Did we talk about the fact it's set in Philadelphia? Does M. Night Shyamalan show up?
D
And this is another point that I kept bringing up to the writers room. Hence why they don't really like me to hang around anymore because I will Just simply bring in celebrities because he's.
C
A security guard at the. At the. At the stadium. At the Eagles stadium. Is he not in Unbreakable.
D
He is, yes.
C
So he could still ostensibly be working there.
D
And there's one thing about M. Night Shyamalan. When you see a scene with him in it, you go, this guy should act more.
C
Yes.
D
Yeah.
C
I am not taken out of this reality at. Oh, I am pushing my chips in, as a matter of fact.
D
Yeah. This man is definitely not patting himself on the back for what he's doing.
C
Or anyone in his family.
D
Yeah.
C
If you've seen Trap.
D
And. And so they said no, they didn't want M. Night Shyamalan to be in it. But we put that request out, and M. Night, I know, is a huge fan of the pod.
C
Yep.
D
And I would just love.
C
We joke around on this podcast night. We know you're listening and you think it's funny, and that's why we're ribbon.
D
And the M stands for.
C
It's hard to convey waggling of eyebrows on a podcast. But I think we did it.
D
He's a real tasty man. And so we. We just want to put that out there. M. Night, if you really want to be on the show, just please make.
C
These guys an offer.
D
Make us an offer we will accept regardless of what it is.
C
Whatever the terms are.
D
Whatever the terms are. We'll let you direct one if you want.
C
Oh, boy. Wow.
D
Come on. Whatever you want. We just need it. You know, in this age of Hollywood, we need all these sort of clickbait star power we can get, which is why I'm here. Which is why I came here.
C
Which is why you're here. We discussed this show at length. I had watched, I believe, when we recorded the show, I'd watched two or three episodes. Is that right?
D
I believe so, yeah.
C
And then I went on to watch the entire season. It's a very funny show.
D
Thank you so much.
C
There are great comedians on it, great actors on it. I watched the entire thing, and we talked a little bit about the fact that I had watched the entire thing when you did my sister show. Scott hasn't seen.
D
Which Manchester by the Sea.
C
Manchester by the Sea, which you guys.
D
Then commented was not a funny movie, which I find to be ridiculous. Yeah.
C
And had a lot going on behind the scenes that we enjoyed talking about as well with the actors involved. So we had a great time on this. Yeah. And now let's get back to the content of that first Comedy Bang Bang appearance.
D
You.
C
You were on this is the first time you've ever been on.
D
Yeah.
C
And we were speaking about the show, and I asked you sort, you know what, why don't we just play the cl. Is there a season two planned for.
D
There is a season two planned.
C
There's a season two planned, but it hasn't been picked up for a season.
D
No, not yet. It has not been picked up for season two, but here's the can.
C
Yes.
D
If I find out.
C
Yes.
D
You'll be the first to know.
C
I'll be the first. I'll be the first call you make even before your family, even before your agents, anybody. You might receive the news through your agency.
D
All of my side pieces.
C
All of your. Really?
D
The roster is going to find out second.
C
I mean, it's not that hard to make a. And you know what? You can give me a heads up. You can text me and say, like, hey, record the call. I'm about to exactly call you and we'll play this on Comedy. Bang, bang.
D
Totally. Because we're buddies now. We're buddies. I feel like we're pretty close and.
C
Yeah.
D
And I can make a promise like this and it's not going to, like.
C
It'S not going to come back and buy you.
D
No, not at all. Because I'm on top of these kinds of things, and I've known to have a really good memory.
C
Great. And, you know, people make promises on the show all the time. Adam Scott made the promise if he ever wins the Oscar, he's going to hold aloft and say, I'm going to shove this up my butt and walk off the stage.
D
Yes.
C
So now noted, he did not make that promise with the Emmy.
D
Sure.
C
And we'll talk about that on a future show that'll come out, I believe, in August.
D
Okay. Deal? Deal. Deal.
C
Okay.
D
Yeah.
C
So, yeah. So great. We. Let's shake on.
D
Let's shake on it.
C
All right. Great.
D
All right.
C
What a clip.
D
That was visceral.
C
That was a captivating podcasting.
D
Yeah. And there was just a connection that we had back then.
C
Yeah.
D
That I feel like because of what happened has kind of severed this connection a little bit. I feel like there's a lack of trust here now.
C
So what. So let me take you through the chronology.
D
Yes.
C
Of what has happened since March.
D
Pretty much daily, I will watch the Diddy trial.
C
Watch the Diddy trial, Pray for him to get some sort of plea deal.
D
Scott has been posting a lot of, like, when's the new music coming out? This is getting in the way of the new music. Yeah.
C
Diddy Dirty money, too, perhaps. And. But I'll. I'll. Pretty much once a day or so, I'll. I'll glance down at this device that I have Apple makes. It's an iPhone. And I'll look at the alerts that pop up, and these are little messages that get sent directly to my home screen that say if someone's emailed me, if someone's called me, anything like that, I'll look down at it. So I was doing this pretty much once a day since March. You know, just wondering. I hope these guys got a season two. I really like the show. I like Asif. Let's see what's going on. Nothing. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing. Pretty much every day this would happen and then.
D
But you didn't lose hope, and that's what we love about it.
C
I didn't lose hope. No. I was like, I'm his first call. We're buddies. You heard that clip?
D
Of course. Yeah. That clip was. It couldn't be more clear. Yeah.
C
And then not two days ago, I. There's nothing on my home screen, so I go, I'm gonna. I'm just gonna swipe this thing up. I'm gonna surf the Net.
D
And you turned off the notifications for your wife.
C
Yes.
D
Yeah. Because you want to keep your.
C
I didn't want her to.
D
Yeah.
C
To really know what was going on in my personal life. My personal life is personal.
D
Right, right, right. Of course. Of course.
C
Of course. So I surfed the net a little bit, and I went on some of my favorite websites, google.com. and I looked up Deli Boys season two. And.
D
Yeah. And you did this early in the morning, like, first thing, right when you woke up, your wife was like, good morning. You were like, stop.
C
I'm in the middle of something.
D
I'm in the middle of something right now. And you turned over and you. And you're kicking your legs. You're kicking your legs.
C
I was on my stomach. I was kicking my legs. It was a lot like I was in a 60s, like, you know, beach party movie or something. And I had a beach ball that I was bouncing on my feet. And what I came upon just hit me like a thunderbolt.
D
Yeah.
C
Because I found an article on.
D
I believe it was variety.com Variety, Deadline, Hollywood Reporter. We don't have.
C
I think it was Variety because it was like the headline was, deli Boys is not ankled. And I was like. I didn't know what that meant. So I had to look up Variety lingo. And ankle means canceled after season one. Yeah.
D
Yeah.
C
And in fact, it was picked up for season two and Fred Armisen is in the cast of season two. And I said okay, Asif doesn't know about this obviously. I pray that he does not log on to the Internet today to find out this news.
D
Yes.
C
So I waited a good 48 hours saying at some point someone will tell him about it and he'll call me. The call never came.
D
The call never came. And, and I'm here to, to again to, to. To and and we can.
C
I in fact had to reach out to you.
D
You did reach out to me. And, and you know, even though we're trying to resolve this right now, real Hollywood move for people listening. Do not respond.
C
And you're saying you should not have responded to me.
D
I should not have responded to you. Just to let it sit a little bit more.
C
You got back to me with. Let me, let me check of exactly when you got back to me after.
D
Because I emailed me in the afternoon. I looked at it. The amount of shame that washed over me was I reached out to you.
C
At 5:21pm which I guess is the.
D
Afternoon and that's usually when I'm hanging out with my first side piece. So I was. We start early in, in the evening.
C
Okay. Now this, it's respectable but I would have liked a little more. I know like 8:56pm is when you responded. I would have liked it a little more in the 6pm range.
D
Yeah.
C
Between six seven. But you, you wrote back to me and said I need to clear this up on the pod.
D
Yes.
C
They surprised me too.
D
Yeah.
C
I can't have this destroy my pristine image and reputation. I'm available whenever you are and I.
D
And I do have a really good reputation in the city. You've, you've, you've seen the Google and.
C
On this podcast as well.
D
Yeah. And people really, you know, people took.
C
A shine to you.
D
Did they?
C
They really did. They said what a great one timer. He really gets the show.
D
Yeah.
C
And, and they said I hope he comes back and and enters the two timer club even though that will career.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Didn't really affect my follower account like on, on any of the socials. So I don't know what your fan base is is, is anymore but I.
C
Don'T know but they, they really, they really enjoyed you and as did I. And I can't help but feel like this is a bit of a betrayal.
D
Yeah. You feel like some of my side pieces where it seems like it's going great and then you find out oh was this was he just here?
C
He's got a second family.
D
Exactly. And I'm here to say it did. It was a surprise.
C
In what way was it a surprise?
D
In that they gave us an extension on the show. They should have told us, like, two months ago. Two, three months ago.
C
So. So the. The contract was due to run out two or three months ago.
D
Yeah. And then they gave.
C
They gave an extension of how many months?
D
Of like, two months. And they're like, well, we don't know yet.
C
So.
D
And I had a whole party set up.
C
You had a party set up on the. On the day the contract was gonna end?
D
Yeah.
C
This is bad planning.
D
There was a whole Dave and Buster's thing, and I was gonna come out and I had, like, token cards for everybody, and. And I had to put out the Facebook event cancellation, and it was really embarrassing for me. And so. And so. Because I have a reputation in this town, and so I had to then explain to these people what an extension was.
C
Keep the token cards.
D
I did keep the token cards. And I don't want to get into it. I don't want to get into how much money is loaded on there.
C
Okay. But let's just say that you can go to Dave and Buster's pretty much anytime you want and sit pretty.
D
I can sit pretty. But the problem is Dave and Buster's, per policy, will not refund you that money once it's on the card.
C
Once it's on the card, you can't get it back.
D
Cannot get it back.
C
But Dave and Buster's for life.
D
That's true. Dave Busters for life after dark. And. And so I found out about this extension, and I was devastated. I had a whole, like, hot boy summer was just starting.
C
Sure.
D
And I really had, like, a whole plan for myself for the summer. And one of the things was letting you know about this. But it really did. Did just.
C
So. So you're a Dave and Buster's. You're waiting for the call from your.
D
Agent, I guess, to be like, hey. To be on FaceTime and be like, hey, guys. Because, you know when something good happens. But everybody calls.
C
Yes, everybody calls. But you would have. You're at Dave and Buster's. You're waiting for the call from your agent. And then I was going to be the first. You're going to be for the party.
D
Absolutely.
C
Okay.
D
Yeah. You were going to be the in between.
C
Okay. And now I'm not invited to the party. And I. I'm.
D
And here's the thing, Scott. Here's the thing, Scott. I know that you're, like, really busy.
F
Oh, yeah.
D
You know, people don't know this about Scott, but he's doing all the technical for this podcast. Yeah, people. People assume you have this huge team and all that, but you laid them off the first chance you could get.
C
Oh, yeah. The minute I learned how to press record on this machine.
D
The moment you learned that. Hit the bricks, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has a Tesla robot just sitting in the corner in case any sort of task arises. And so I knew you were going to be busy. I wanted to invite you, but honestly, I'd only met you once, and I didn't know what kind of nightmare.
C
Twice at this point. But. Go on.
D
But, like, what kind of. But what kind of, like, vibe were you. Were you a nighttime guy? Are you a nighttime guy?
C
Quite honestly, I'm not.
D
You're not?
C
So when is this party, though?
D
This party would start it at, like, 10, 10:30 at Dave and Buster.
C
Yeah.
D
Because it's a nighttime situation. It was going to get nasty.
C
Oh, it's going to get nasty.
D
Okay. Yeah.
C
I don't want to be there.
D
And so. And so I. I was gonna call you in between and be like, hey, babe, I know it's late, but I need you to know this and. And be like, hey, season two is happening. And then you could kind of could.
C
Have been a voice note, too, that I could have played on the show, like, any. Anything would have been great.
D
Yeah. And. But I didn't know how to tell you that we had gotten an extension.
C
Okay.
D
You know? Cause that felt almost like not knowing.
C
About the extension or when the contract was due to end. I don't think I would have cared about the extension. I was mainly interested in it getting picked up for the season.
D
So knowing that I was like, you know what? I'm just going to let it breathe. But then that two months, a lot of things happened.
C
What. What's been going on in your.
E
In your life?
D
I was on a comedy tour.
C
Doing what?
D
Doing standup comedy.
C
Oh, okay. You weren't. You weren't a roadie?
D
No, no, no, no, no, no. I was doing straight up, you know, hardcore. Hardcore comedy comedy. I'm rady, I'm bringing Daddy's Bringing It Back. And, you know, everyone's talking about what's happening in Austin, but what's happening with Asif.
C
Yes.
D
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. They think they're edgy. The things that I'm doing, you can't even imagine.
C
Yeah, they'll look like choir boys.
D
Yes, exactly. The edges back. And. And so barely legal choir. Legal choir boys. You wish. And. And so I was just. I did, just for laughs, a comedy festival. I was so. I was like, you know, discombobulated a little bit.
C
Festival. Because it's just for laughs.
D
It's only for, like.
C
A lot of festivals are like, hey, we can get some industry.
D
There's no moderation. There's no moderation with the festival.
C
A lot of festivals are like, hey, we'll pay you to do this festival. This one's just for the.
D
Absolutely. Just for the.
C
Haha.
F
For the lulz.
D
Yeah. And did you know that their mascot, you know, they have like that little green.
C
Yes. He's no longer.
D
No longer Vinnie or something like that.
C
Vincent or something.
D
The guy who animated him was like a. A real creep.
C
I've heard this story, but I don't believe the person who told it to me wanted it said on a podcast.
D
Apparently, a real creep. So they took him out of the equation.
C
Yes.
D
And I know that disappointed you. They took him out of the equation.
C
I was very disappointed. Yeah. The person who told me was the animator himself.
D
Yeah.
C
While I was consoling him.
D
Yeah. And. Yeah. And that made this hurt twice as much. Because he told you the moment he got that call.
C
Yeah.
D
You were his first, and I was.
C
There by his side, and that's what I was willing to do with you.
D
To either.
C
To either be the person who's saying, you know what, hey, you'll get another show, or to be the person celebrating your success along with all of my fans. That's the thing. You don't just disappoint me.
D
Yeah.
C
You disappoint all of the comedy, and.
D
That'S the part that were rooting for.
C
You and for your success.
D
Do you think that there's any way I can get them back on board? Because I know you'll be back on board because season two is happening. There's going to be more South Asian boys than ever.
C
So I'm in already?
D
You're already in.
C
But as far as the fans, is there another promise you can offer to the fans that will soothe their souls like a bomb that they need?
D
I can. I can promise them this. I can promise them this.
C
Okay.
D
The second season is gonna be bigger and it's gonna be okay. Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. It's gonna be bigger, it's gonna be more exciting, it's gonna be more concise because we went down from 10 to six episodes, and I know that's not. That doesn't sound good.
C
Do you get paid by the episode?
D
Yeah, yeah, I do get paid by the episode, but I do have a good quote and I have a good attorney, so it's. I am going to be.
C
And you're willing to sue them after the episodes are.
D
Yeah, litigation is very much on the horizon. Yeah, Yeah. I told my attorney, and I was like, hey, get it ready. The moment.
C
The moment they say this is a series wrap.
D
Yeah, the moment.
C
Season wrap, hopefully.
D
But whatever, whatever. The moment we have a wrap party and people are like, talking about, hey, rap gifts. Make another crew neck sweater.
C
They're filing a claim.
D
There is a claim being filed. Yes. Yes.
C
Yeah.
D
And so litigation is on the horizon. And so it's going to be big. It's going to be better. Fred Armisen is going to be a series regular on the show.
C
My friend Fred Armisen will be a series regular. These are not the kind of promises that our fans want.
D
And also, can I give you. Can I give you a Hollywood scoop? Yeah, I guess that nobody knows.
C
Oh, okay. Okay.
D
Is that I am recurring on the TED animated series that will be coming out. And I know, I know, I know it's not as. This is not as juicy as.
A
As.
C
But.
D
But it's happening.
C
What do you play like a doll that gets sucked by?
D
I don't play. I don't play.
C
Jesus Christ.
D
No. Gives a. I play like a guy. I play like one of. One of the. The main character's best friends. And it's.
C
Oh, this main character we all love.
D
And it's. And it's wrong.
C
That we can all name.
D
You're gonna love the show. And. And honestly, between us, Scott, it's, you know, it's. It's supplementing some of the income I'm.
C
Not making for those four episodes.
D
Yeah. And I needed this. I needed.
C
Fine. I'm. I'm on your side about this. Yeah. I just don't think if this is.
D
As much of a scoop.
C
Yeah. It's not really exclusive in the. In the sense that we want.
D
All right, here's what I'm gonna do for you. Here's what I'm gonna do for you. In the time between this show, season two happening and meaning the time between.
C
Now and you filming.
D
Yeah. Or we start shooting in December. That's a scoop. If you're in Chicago in December.
C
Yeah. Wave high at everyone.
D
And if you're a fan, come by.
C
Yeah.
D
And will you.
C
If there's a comedy Bang Bang fan who comes by the set Will you personally greet them?
D
Yes.
C
And shake their hand and take a selfie?
D
That I can guarantee if they can find the set.
C
You're not telling everyone where the set is every day. Okay, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna hold you to that of like.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
A daily posting about, oh, we're gonna be over here.
D
And honestly, I would.
C
You would do that?
D
I mean, once we start shooting, I feel like it's pretty easy. I mean, I'm posting about it a lot.
C
Is there a code name, you know, the, the, the company signs to say where to park?
D
I'll say this. I shoot right across from the Bear.
F
Okay.
C
So if you know where they're pop over. Is there going to be the crossover episode? This.
D
I was begging them. And now because Fred Armisen's on the show, maybe he can add to some of that heat.
C
Sure.
D
Some of the people that worked on the Bear worked on our show, you know, and so it'd be hard to.
C
Do a crossover episode because they're. They're suddenly like they're crew trying to pull double duty on both of these shows.
D
Yeah. But I do think that there's a space for that. I think there's a space for that.
C
You're holding space for that?
D
I'm holding space for that. And I think it's. It's going to happen. But again, this is a promise. If I'm. I'm going to be in Chicago December 1st through. Through the holiday.
C
Through the holiday. If you see Asif, approach me either. Either on the set or, or partying or whatever. You approach me, approach him and say, is there some sort of secret thing? Or just.
D
Can you say, like, say, you owe me an apology. I will apologize to person and take a selfie with it.
C
That has to be the. The. You have to say those words.
D
You owe me an apology.
C
You owe me an apology. And you'll know what that means and.
D
Yell it at me. Don't make it subtle.
C
And even if you're rolling.
D
Yes. If you see me and we're shooting.
C
Exteriors and there's a, A police officer on a motorcycle trying to block off.
D
The street or whatever with his gun out, because that's what we have. That's, that's how secretive.
C
You'll let security know that if these people say, oh, no, no, no, as if owes me an apology, they'll.
D
They'll escort you in. They'll escort you into my trailer.
C
Okay.
D
And you can just sit there, enjoy some of the snacks. And when I get in there Be like, you owe me an apology.
C
Right. They'll just be sitting there in whatever chair.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
In the honeywagon.
D
And depending on what you need from me, you know, it is Hollywood the first. You know, it's like. Like a sweepstakes. The first 10 people.
C
First 10 will get.
D
First 10 will get a little extra. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that fair?
C
That's fair. I think that's okay because I do.
D
Feel bad about it. I do feel bad that you didn't get the. The first call because it did kind of hit me because it's kind of up in the air when you get an extension they don't give you, like.
C
I know. And we had discussed it not only in the clip that we just heard, but we discussed it on Scott hasn't seen as well. And you reiterated this promise. And so it kind of made me feel a little like, oh, he doesn't care about me.
D
I do.
F
And.
D
No, no, no, no, no, no. And I do care about and Scott, stop crying. Do you have tissues here? You got to stop crying.
C
Oh, no, we don't have any tissues in that.
D
And. Cause you use him for something else. You dirty dog. Yeah, yeah. And so I feel bad about what has happened, and I really hope that, you know, we can move forward from this.
C
I like to move forward. Or at least laterally.
D
Laterally.
C
But never backwards.
D
No, never backwards. And if there is, you know, a way I can maybe take you to. I could take you to dinner sometime.
C
Or, you know, again, I'm not really a night guy.
D
You're not a night guy. And I also feel bad because when we finished shooting, Scott hasn't seen. You gave me some free merch.
C
Yeah, I did. Yes. And you.
D
You took it home with you. And I wore it. I took it home with me. I took it to the gym.
C
Oh, really? Did everyone kind of go like that?
D
People were kind of looking at me like, oh, industry insider. Like, how did he get this? This feels like limited edition merch and not merch that wasn't sold because the, you know, design wasn't really connecting with the fans and.
C
Oh, we did all right with that design. Just, you know, at the end of tour, you have a lot left over. In fact, I still have one hat and approximately two sweatshi over there if anyone needs. If anyone needs any of this stuff.
D
Okay. But it. But it just. We really did connect with the people at the gym. And. And I'm not ashamed to say that I'm, you know, on a joint Equinox account with eight other Cousins. And, and because they will not probe into people who look similar to them.
C
Yes. They won't say like, hey, you look a lot like.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm there at Equinox and they kind of see it. They're like, wow, comedy. This guy's in.
C
This guy's in business.
D
Yeah, yeah.
C
Well, this is fantastic. At the very least, I want to congratulate you on quite an achievement in show business. A lot of people, especially now, a lot of people don't get shows and a lot of people who do get shows don't get second seasons. But deli boys, people can certainly catch up with the first season right now on FX or on Hulu.
D
It's on Hulu.
C
Yeah, it's on Hulu. And they can anxiously await this being shot in December from the first week of December through the holidays.
D
It sounds like through, like end of January.
C
End of January, yeah.
D
So come through, come by.
C
Just come by the set and say you owe me an apology.
D
And you will get one.
C
And you'll get one. This is fantastic. Okay, well, welcome back and welcome into the second.
D
Hey. Thank you. I don't know what did, what does this entail? The Second Timers Club that my career is now at a standstill.
C
Yeah, it's. It's bad for you and I will.
D
Never recover from this.
C
Yeah. Cuz the Onetimers club is populated by the likes of Paul Rudd, of course, Childish Gambino, Ben Stiller.
D
Damn. Ben Stiller. Never came back.
C
Back. He never came back.
D
And you were. You asked.
A
Well, did I ever ask?
C
We may have lost touch.
D
Did you ask? But did you ask? Oh, so I'm not the first celebrity that kind of faded.
C
Yeah, he never made me a promise in that one episode. In the first three months of us doing the show 16 years ago, he never made me a promise the way you did.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Such a cemented promise. Yes, yes, yes.
C
So, okay, well, let's do this. We. Can you stick around?
D
Of course. I have to.
C
I mean, if you're in the Two Timers club, you gotta stick.
D
Here's a promise I'm gonna make to I am going to stick around.
C
Wow.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
Okay. Hopefully you'll keep this one. We'll find out on the other side of this break when we come back. We have a couple of boys.
D
Oh, hell yeah. You love this. I don't know why you said it like that. So nasty.
C
And we also have a folk singer on the show today. This is a great show.
D

D
Yes, probably around March. And can I say it feels better, you know, now that we've communicated and put our.
C
The vibe feels better. And this is what I want to tell everyone. If you have an issue with anyone in your life like I had with Austin.
D
Yeah.
C
Just get it out in the open.
D
Out there, get a couple microphones, invite him over to your studio and just confront him on air.
C
Yeah. That's the way to do it. And you feel good?
D
I feel so much better. I feel so much better.
C
I think we're, I think it's deepened and strengthened our friendship.
D
I think so. I think the next time I get an announcement, you're going to be the first to know.
C
I would like that. Anything about your career?
D
Yeah, I dropped it huge. I think the Ted thing really rocked your guys.
C
Yeah. But you've told other people about it. No, you've never. You haven't told a single person.
D
Nobody. You're the first person.
C
All right, that seems better.
D
Yeah.
C
Because it sounded like when you said it, you were sort of like, no, they actually, oh, here's, here's something your fans will be excited about.
D
They actually told me, like, don't, you.
C
Know, don't, don't say it.
D
Keep it kind of under wraps because they haven't finished doing the whole season.
C
Okay, that's not bad. But prepare yourself for getting fired when this comes out.
D
But that's okay.
C
That's all right. Sure.
D
Because it's worth my friendship with you. Worth it, exactly.
C
Well, speaking of friendship, we have a couple of guests on the show. They were on back in May, I believe. And let's talk to them. Please welcome McGarth Darby and Harris Teeter, aka the Boat Boys.

We're from Sham.

D
A lot of people don't know this about Scott, but he does the thing that Johnny Depp does, which was is when he's like in important scenes and stuff, he'll wear an ear like an earpiece and play like.
C
That's one of the things I do that Johnny Depp used to do.
D
That he can talk about legally, but that's the one we can talk about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
I wear an earpiece during the show and I'm being fed what to say during the show the entire time.

A
Annually.
C
You co host it?

Yes, it is.
E
We're layabouts. We don't really keep track of the Gregorian.

D
Yes, Yes. A lot of people did.
E
We're lovers, not fighters.
D
Okay.
E
If. If you see us on a dock, we're copulating.
C
That's right. You don't seem to do a lot on your boats. On your respective boats.
A
No, we like to hang out on the dock. Unless we're going on the boat. And if, you know we're going on the boat, we're going to be locking eyes with each other through the backs of our boats.
C
But on the dock, you guys hook up.
E
Anything goes on the dock. No sex on the boat.
C
I think we talked about that. No sex. No masturbating on the BO boat.

C
How slow? Like, what temperature we are. We had five degrees or like.
D
Like over the course of four months.
A
35 degrees to start. Just get things nice and brown, and.

Then you just take it down one degree by one degree every day.
A
Or slow, slow, slow going down, down.

A
There's nothing like a group soup. You ever have a group soup?

He's doing great.
D
Lately, he's been doing better than ever.
E
We saw him on date. Redacted.

A
One is sauce.
D
What about bread?
E
So you. You want some kind of spread out, genreless menu?
D
Yeah, yeah.
E
Oh, I want to be able to order everything. It's a barbecue. Give me a turkey.
A
Can I have a sushi roll?

A
Few hundred years old. Few hundred years we had tours of the old house.
C
Okay. It's a historical place.
A
Big old house.
C
It's a historical place.
A
People have weddings there. Sometimes most people walk around it.
C
And this. You were. Your family was slave owners?
D
I was gonna ask.
C
Slave renters.
E
Centuries ago, it was used for activities. Redacted.
C
Icy.
D
So that's what it says on the placard, activities.
A
Now we just have a beautiful garden. People come look at the garden, they look at the pond, they go in the gift shop to get themselves. Old chair.
C
An old chair.
E
Old chair.
A
Old chairs.
C
Seems like it's not the most compact item, you know, like keychains.
E
The room is big.
C
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
E
It holds a lot of chairs.
C
All right. Harris, Chairman chairs, people.
E
One more office building.
C
Okay.
A
I thought you were. I got Harris here. I thought you were gonna go somewhere else with that. I was going more the couch direction when I said chair.
E
That's a big. That's a bigger chair than an office chair.
C
But they both are in the chair family. A chair in a couch would be. Yeah. Things you sit on.
D
So your family, after being done with slavery, they sort of just then got into grocery stores. Just to be clear, I never said.
E
My family was into activity. Redacted.
D
Okay, okay, okay.
A
My family now owns Chick Fil A. Oh, yeah.
D
Say less, honey. Say less. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
And you. I didn't. I read about you, Magarth, that your family was one of the few, after slavery was abolished, to kind of keep it going for another 150 years.
A
Hey, I'm not gonna get into this, okay? Okay. It's all d. Redacted stuff. But I will say everyone was very happy, okay?
C
An agreement was met.
A
Everyone loved their lives.

You're not speaking my language.
C
Right, sorry. It's not Tom Petty. Huh?
F
Huh?
C
Never mind.
E
He's from Florida.
C
Okay, Sorry.
E
Gainesville boys. Did you read. Read Mike Campbell's autobiography?
A
Did you listen to Paul Simon's Graceland?
C
I've. I've done the latter, not the former.
E
That's a great Duran Duran lyric, I'm sure.
C
Sure. Okay. Okay.
D
Have you ever done a. Scott hasn't listened to.
C
Oh, no, I haven't.
D
Album and talking about it.
C
Oh, yeah. I gotta do that.
D
You should do that.
C
Oh, hell yeah. Okay.
A
You know what I invented, by the way, Scott?
C
What's that?
A
When you go to Chick Fil A.
C
Okay.
A
And they have all those teams out there, there.
C
Boiling hot egg Never been inside one.
A
And there's a big old line wrapping around the entire mall parking lot. Long, long line. I invented having those teens go out there with the opads.
C
Whoa. Okay.
E
Teen pads.
C
Teens, teens, teen pads. Not.
D
Okay, teen pads.
C
Teen pads. Okay.
A
Also what I call the tampons and the pads I. I provide for the teens.
C
You provide them. So this is not through the restaurant. This is a service that provider.
A
This is me, my professional labor. I said, daddy, get me the chick fil a. I need to stalk up on those toes.
D
This is gender affirming care. This is actually really nice, actually.

I like.
C
Name a more iconic duo.
E
Truly, my mind is blown.
D
Dang.
A
I can't. I can't. Then one or two.
E
My mind is blown more than my uncle who was in trouble with the law for activity redacted and then took a shotgun and activity redacted himself.
D
Whoa.
C
I think I get the idea.
E
That's how blown my mind is.
C
I understand.
E
My mind is blown more than Superman's rope shooting through my skull. You ever think about that?
C
I.
E
You love comic books.
D
Yeah.
E
If Superman were to get oral sex, his load would be a shotgun blast.
C
Well, also crypto.
D
Get off the bed.
C
He's invulnerable everywhere. But he's. He's more of everything. So his balls hurt more when you kick him in the balls. So I don't know why Luther hasn't like kicked him in the balls ever.
E
And how come Luther hasn't exploded his erogenous zones? Superman, don't get horny. I'll see you in hell, Scott.
A
You ever put your balls inside the pelicans mouth?
C
I can't say that I have, no.
E
And filled it with hot water and then tickled the pelican under his belly and made him gargle so that your balls feel good in the hot water inside the pelican's mouth.
C
I don't believe I have. No.
A
You need to do that at the barbecue.

I know. I wish you had cut me off earlier.
C
I find myself cutting you off usually on this show. Yeah. Almost as if you don't know the ends of these songs.
F
The songs always have an end in, Scott. That's the nature of a song, isn't it?
C
Nature of a song. But I end up cutting you off, so. Which I apologize for, but. But that one, it seems to be. You're advocating for the raising of all of our natural resources in order to power AI.

You could. You could type in whippoorwill. Eight tits, Scott. And it'll show it to you how small.
C
I'm gonna take you up on that.
E
The whippoorwill ain't that big.
D
Do you have the premium account?
F
I have the premium account of every AI.

D
How much are you blowing? Like a hundred dollars a month.
F
I'm blowing like the wind, my friend. And I'm blowing over. Yeah. I'm a cool G on AI. Putting tits on everything. I can imagine.
E
Speaking of blowing and put tits on a man, I'd be blowing one hell of a rope.
C
I think the problem when I Google whooper will ate tits is that a tit is a bird as well. I think so, yeah.
A
So it's just get that algorithm sorted out.
F
You're just kind of creating a Dr. Moreau nightmare of bird. Birds on birds.
C
Birds on birds on birds.
F
Birds on birds.
C
Yeah, well, that, I, I, I didn't expect this from you. I mean, you, you've always been a political.
D
Yeah.
C
And, and folks, folk music in general has been a political art form, but usually on the other side of the aisle.
F
Well, that's right. I mean, I, I don't, I don't. But you know, the, the center can't hold, Scott. And I'm not, there's, there's no left and right anymore. We just need to do away with all that. The, the, the, the American party, if you, if you get my, get my drift.
E
This guy's, this guy's hinting at the red brown alliance.
F
Absolutely.
E
The horseshoe effect.
A
This guy definitely tapes his mouth.
F
Absolutely. I do, I do tape my mouth, Scott, but not to be silenced. I won't be silenced. I'll always speak the truth. I do. I will tape my mouth to come harder in the morning. That's when I usually do it. And you will do that.
A
Amen. Shoot that rope king.
D
That's right. You're a morning bus.
F
I'm a morning bust.
C
Absolutely.
F
Wake up, wake up and nut. That's another song off this house.

Come on.
F
Sun is rising.
D
This one's up tempo.
F
Cup of coffee in my hand.
C
Oh, really?
F
All right. Sun is rising. I'm nutting across the land. You gotta wake up, wake up, wake up and nut. Wake up and nut, you silly butt. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up and nut. That's the way to make America great again.
C
Okay. All right. All right.
E
Glenn.
C
Glenn.
F
Yeah.
A
Oh, I like that one.
F
Yeah.

E
We salute you, Glenn.
F
You can add. You can add tits to anything. You can add a hand to any song. Isn't that right?
C
Wow. Wow.
A
You guys ever wake up so hard that you nut so hard all over your bed sheets that your cleaning woman says, what am I gonna do?
C
So you. You wake up so hard.
F
So do you have a cleaning woman on the boat?
A
Oh, yeah, she stopped by.
E
That's the only women allowed on the boat.
A
Real briefly, of course.
E
We've locked eyes when the cleaning woman is doing her thing on the boat.
D
You guys ever dock with each other?
E
Oh, yeah.
A
Oh, yeah. You mean you should come to the dock?
F
We get to come to the dock, yeah.
C
Where do you live again, Glenn?
F
I'm a rambler in a rover.
E
You're riding the rails, Glenn?
F
I'm riding. I. Riding the rail. Well, I hate trains. I mean, I. I just.
C
You get train sick.
F
I. I get train sick. I hate the idea of them.
C
I hate car sick as well.
F
Well, not that. Ever since I got to cybertruck, Scott. Now I don't. Now I don't.
E
Is it the efficient use of energy or is it being next to your fellow man who's probably got less money than you?
F
Exactly. It's always the second. It's always the second.
C
Here, here.
F
Glenn, we don't want to get and actually have to see another person, do you?
C
No, it's too democratized.
F
It's too democratized and democracy's dying. I think we've seen that, Scott.
E
Techno feudalism.
F
Techno feudalism is the way to go.
E
Corporate nation states.
A
What color is your cybertruck? Is it a matte of some kind?
C
It is.
F
It's a matte gold. Matte gold with. Matte gold with a sparkle coat.
E
Oh, I bet people look at it and they say, is it brass?
D
Is it a copper car?
F
Copper car.
D
Can I. Can I. I don't want to speak out of turn here, but it seems like you guys have, like, kind of a connection, and I don't want to. I don't know what your gig, your tour schedule is, but would you consider potentially playing at a barbecue that needs.
C
Some enter as needed?
F
Some. As long as it's not a sanctuary city, I'll be There.
E
Uhoh. This is not providing. Charleston, South Carolina is not providing sanctuary to anybody unless they're wearing Sperry Topsiders.
A
Do you. Let me ask you something. Do you have. Have a pink polo?
F
I have a pink. A pink. I. I've. I'm now touring exclusively in Polo or.
C
You'Re sponsored by Ralph Lauren? Yes.
F
What's the other one with. What's the other one that you wear? Vineyard Vines. But what's the one with the laurel? The laurel on it?
E
Fred Perry.
F
Yes, I also wear. I'll wear a Fred Perry. I'll wear a.
E
You're a proud.
A
I'm a proud downtown Charleston. There's a place called Dumbass. I'm Dumbass and Son and Dumbass and Sons. I'm gonna take you there.
F
I would love it. And in fact, you're the. You're the first person that I've ever met. Yeah, that doesn't look like me.
C
Wow. Well, hey, you know what?
F
I have it.
A
And I.
F
And I respect you. I have respect.
E
You know, it'd be great if you play this. If you play your concert at our. A date. Redacted Barber barbecue. And Asif opens and we boo him mercilessly.
C
Oh.
D
Almost like a gathering of the Juggalos type thing.
A
Are you Juggalo?
D
I'm not a Juggalo, but okay.
C
Do you know what that word means?
A
Of course I do. Juggalo. They're the clowns.
C
Oh, okay. All right.
A
Yeah. When I bought my car, I saw Juggalo eating at a Mexican restaurant next to me. Juanita Greenberg.
C
Well, hey, Glenn, speaking of. Speaking of copper cars, I'm looking at your record right here. Don't you have a. A song about the police on this?
F
Ye have a song about the police. You know, this was the first song I wrote about the police, Scott, and it finally made its way on because I don't think the police get enough respect these days. And I think. And this is from the point of view of a young police officer who's on. On his. On the job for the first day.
C
Oh, wow. Okay.
F
First day. Yeah. Rookie. He's a rookie cop, and I always thought this would be a good TV show. Speaking of, no one's done a rookie, unfortunately.
D
I'll say. This one's for me.
C
Yeah, this one's for you. This one's for you.
E
There's been a.
C
A couple of rookie.
D
All right, let's hear it.
F
It's my first day on the beat and I'm scared.
D
Okay.
F
Hope one guy doesn't catch me unaware Yellow, black, brown, uh oh. They're all the same to me.
C
In what way?
F
I am totally colorblind. They all are a shade of cream. Okay, what they are to this rookie cop? Everyone's the same, Scott.
D
It's his story.
C
It's his story. Who's not white is the same. Is that everyone?
F
Everyone's the same color of cream to him.
E
I gotta hear the chorus.
D
What about the pretty chorus then? The bridge. Don't forget the bridge.
E
Take it to the pre chorus. Dirty baby.
F
This does have a pre, pre chorus actually. It goes minor.
C
Oh, okay.
F
There's a man looking at a car like he wants to steal it right.
C
In front of this cop and drive it pretty far. Drive it pretty well. That's what you want to do.
A
If you steal a car near the car.
F
Hey there friend, where are you from? Oh, is what I say. He says, this is my car, you can't take it away. And I say, friend, I am a colorblind policeman of hockey. You all are the same to me. He said, what are you speaking of? I said turn around.
D
I knew it.
C
I fucking knew it.
F
The Puffs are going on and I'm taking you downtown.
C
Okay. All right, Glenn. All right, Glenn.
F
That was just the pre chorus, guys. That was the pre chorus.
C
All right, well I mean Harris wants to hear the chorus obviously.
D
And there's like a sing along portion for everyone at the end.
F
Yes, well the sing along portion everybody knows from my tour because a lot of places we go, they're actually able to do it. 1, 2, 3, jump on in if you know it. Draw your guns, draw your guns.
C
Okay.
D
Oh my God.
A
Scott told him his son that says don't sing.
F
Yeah, don't put that down, Scott.
C
I beg your pardon. I just.
F
Draw your guns. Guns. Draw your guns. Shoot em in the air. Let's have a little fun.
C
Okay, so this is a little whimsical.
F
This is whimsical.
D
Yeah, but what happened to that guy?
F
He passes.
C
Oh shit. Oh no.
F
But not at the hands of the guy. He gets taken downtown. We don't know what happens to him.
A
He has an asthma attack.
E
This getting me so riled up. The pre chorus made me preco.
D
The problem is, is like I disagree with your. Your ideology.
F
Well, you can't disagree with truth, can you now?
C
But the songs are songs so catchy.
F
The true is true is true.
D
Yeah, I can't wait to open for you at the barbecue.
F
Well, you know I.
A
Well, you know the police are going to be there. We have, we've, we're good friends with police.
F
I love a police. Good police barbecue.
A
They do not arrest us on our golf carts. We can drive wherever the weather want.
E
Oh, yeah, and none of these limitations like seat belts or doors or speed limits or children.
A
You can have kids flying out of those things.
C
Don't matter.
A
They're not going to rest you.
E
Yeah, talk about back to the future. Where we're going, we don't need safety regulations.
C
Be a very different movie. That was the end of that movie.
A
I know where that was going.
E
So if that's a hit single, what's the B side of that?
C
Yeah, good question, Harris.
E
I need the B side. You know I'm a B side.
C
Yeah. Of course, sometimes they're better than the actual A side.
F
Well, the B sides are. You know, I always think you have to look at issues from all sides, don't you, Scott?
C
Oh, okay. So you have something from a slightly different point of view.
F
So this is from a different point of view, Scott. This one is called the District Attorney.
C
No, no, I don't know that that's a different point of view. What do you mean? Just another player in the same.
F
What? What? Well, Scott, you know, the district attorney has to defend justice, and that's what this song is all about. So that's the.
C
All right, play a little bit of it.
F
Okay.
A
Let the man work, work.
F
We've come to a verdict. This man is innocent.
C
Okay.
F
Oh. Oh, sorry.
C
I like. No, I was happy that.
F
Oh. Oh, no. And by the man, I'm talking about Officer Brown.
C
All right. I don't like that.
D
That guy from the other song.
C
Yeah, no.
F
Well, it's a big story. That all culminates because they said, you know, you can draw your gun for anything, Scott. Isn't that right?
D
It's a concept album, and I respect what you're doing as an artist.
F
I appreciate the respect.
E
It's like elo's the Diary of Horace Wimp.
C
Something like that. Yeah.
E
I love elo.
F
Sounds like Scott hasn't heard.
C
Come on. I definitely have it. I don't know that I've listened.
E
You bought. You bought physical media and you didn't listen to it?
C
Yeah.
E
Shame on you.
C
Well, Glenn, I mean, good luck with the album.
F
Oh, thank you, Scott.
E
What's the seaside?
D
I'm terrified.
C
I don't know that we have time for the seaside.
D
I'm just terrified at how well this album's gonna sell.
C
I know. Yeah.
F
The album's already doing very well. It's only on Spotify. I don't release it anywhere. Else except the giant discs and Spotify. Those are my two favorites.
E
They're gonna be on snl.
A
They're gonna put it in a movie or something like that. You think you're gonna be the soundtrack for some kind of movie?
F
Well, it's gonna be a soundtrack to Joe Dirt 3.
C
Oh, okay. No way.
A
Is that the one star in Kid Rock.
F
Well, we can only hope that's. I have a big announcement to make today, actually.
C
What?
F
Kid Rock has signed on?
E
Yes, I'm calling it now. Kid Rock hosting snl, ladies and gentlemen.
D
Musical give up.
A
I'm gonna come. I'm gonna come.
C
All right, well, guys, before you come, we are running out of time. We only have time for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called plugs.
D
Oh, this is nice, Glenn.
F
Is this an unreleased.
D
Is this an unrelated release track?
C
End of song. Oh, all right.
E
Was that Martin Sexton?
C
I'm not quite sure. That was a plug. Theme for Lily by Gordy Brave. Interesting.
A
Who is that now?
C
What.
A
What was he trying to say to her?
C
Do we want to hear it again?
A
I think I need to.
D
One more time. One more time.
C
All right, let's hear it one more time. I love your. I love your Plugs. More than Scott love Hentai. End of song. Okay. Yeah. More than Scott loves. I don't know what he said.
E
I love Hentai. Well, since this gentleman brought it up, Scott loves Hentai.
A
There will be Hentai on the dock and the dyke reducted.
C
Scott has seen. All right, well, what are we plugging? Asif Deli Boys.
D
Okay, so here's what's happening. I shouldn't have come in that hot for something that's not coming out yet. I'm doing season two of Deli Boys. Start shooting in December. If you're in Chicago, approach me, say, I demand an apology. You will get one.
C
Is it.
D
You owe me an apology. I will be in the new TED animated series that I don't know when that's coming out. And I'm also on tour doing standup, so find me on Instagram at Ali Comedy. And.
C
And you promise all the standup is X rated. Don't bring your grandmother.
D
Don't bring. I swear to God, you bring your grandma, something's going to happen, but it's going to be outside of comedy.
C
Okay, great.
D
Yeah.
C
And Glenn. Glenn Plappinger. Sorry.
D

Yep.

F
Yeah.

C
Woken up from 20 minutes before the showtime. I believe what happened was I woke up and then I said to my wife, do you want to watch whatever tonight, Deli Boy? She said, you have a show in 20 minutes.
A
Well, you're not a nut person, Skull.
F
But it's a great show that we have a lot of dedicated people doing now. And, yeah, I think that's.

Date: September 8, 2025
Host: Scott Aukerman
Guests/Characters: Asif Ali, Boat Boys (Greg Hess, Tim Baltz), Glenn Plappinger (folk singer, Lily Sullivan)
This riotous episode of Comedy Bang Bang features Scott Aukerman navigating promise renegotiations and character chaos with standup actor Asif Ali (star of FX/Hulu’s "Deli Boys"), the return of beloved perverse nautical duo the Boat Boys, and a folk-song-styled descent into madness led by Glenn Plappinger. With recurring bits about broken promises, South Carolina low-country debauchery, and surreal takes on American culture, the show is a blend of meta-comedy, improv insanity, and affectionate self-roasting.
[02:01 – 28:10, 31:20 – 32:33]
[32:33 – 57:02]
[64:20 – 84:37]
| Timestamp | Segment Description | |--------------|------------------------------------------| | 03:20–13:00 | Asif’s broken promise and Deli Boys S2 fallout | | 32:47–43:12 | Boat Boys’ sexual dock ritual/barbecue planning | | 64:20–73:14 | Glenn Plappinger folk singer introduction & songs | | 85:29–90:00 | Plugs: Deli Boys, Boat Boys BBQ, Glenn’s podcast | | 91:27–91:55 | Scott's closing motto and mutual farewells |
The episode leans heavily into absurdist, meta, and blue comedy. The language is playful, irreverent, and at times graphically sexual in the context of parody. The guests (and Scott) riff off each other in a way that blurs the line between character and performer, embodying the “comic revelry” that CBB is celebrated for. Even when parodying touchy topics (policing, Southern heritage, AI, bodily fluids), the tone remains in the register of farce — inviting the audience to laugh at the surreality of it all.
This Comedy Bang Bang episode “Group Soup” is a stacked, freewheeling ensemble of in-joke callbacks and new heights of improv absurdity. At its core is Scott Aukerman holding Asif Ali to past promises, leading to an exaggerated but emotionally astute bit on Hollywood relationships and fan connection. The episode erupts into Southern-tinged lunacy with the Boat Boys, who weave sexual farce, parody, and regional lampooning into every exchange. The arrival of folk singer Glenn Plappinger offers a musical parody that lampoons American contradictions, from technophilia to law enforcement. Throughout, the “name a more iconic duo” meta-joke threads the chaos together. The episode features promises, apologies, and invitations that tease the boundary between audience and show, with surreal humor balancing affectionate satire with social commentary. A must-listen for CBB fans and a wild ride for any podcast comedy connoisseur.
For listeners:
If you’re coming to this episode cold, prepare for a barrage of inside jokes, character improv, meta discussions about podcasting and promises, prominent sexual/bodily humor, and a carnival of absurd, satirical folk songs and Southern parody. Promises are broken and remade, barbecues are planned, and not a single thing is ever fully resolved—and that, of course, is the joke.
