Two theme songs, two catchphrases, and an appearance by the food court bailiff who's been Freaky Friday. I mean, this. This is. Now, as I can understand it, we're not going to touch any of that. I would imagine from now on, we're moving forward.
Jason Mantzoukas
The studio bailiff is going to make his way from the food court to here. He figures out what happened.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would assume so. Now, can we do the show without a bailiff?

Oh, this is. I, I, I love what's happening to comedy. Bang Bang. Right?
Cool Cat
Holy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, in its 15th year, never been stronger.
Jason Mantzoukas
Never been stronger. Almost six. I mean, this is our 16th year, technically.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Shows up. This show's barely legal right now.
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Am I right? Barely legal.
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't think you referred to the.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Show earlier off Mike as barely.
Jason Mantzoukas
I did not.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I believe CBB is barely.
Jason Mantzoukas
I believe the 18th year would be barely legal. I don't know. Hang on.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I got to do some Googling. Okay. And we're back. And I was wrong.
Jason Mantzoukas
J Dog, so great to see you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's happening, Scotty?
Jason Mantzoukas
What is happening indeed. I, I. Now, normally, you come on the show and you are not promoting really anything.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Nope. Because I, I'm not. I'm, I'm not here to. I'm not here to sell myself or my wares. I'm here for you.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's usually. But you did say that you really wanted to promote a new film that's. That just came out. It's called Dread Zeppelin, A Song of Hope, and it's a documentary about Dread Zeppelin. Is that right?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, I'm not gonna lie. I have watched all 1 hour and 22 minutes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wait, you watched this too? Oh, because I watched.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You watched it too? Oh, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I always watched the movies.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I never thought you would have done it. Now I watched it, and I will say they cut all my interviews out. You were interviewed for this interview, at length. I did cut it all out.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was interviewed for the Sparks movies, Sparks Brothers at the same time as they were asking me Dread Zeppelin questions.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
So. So Sparks question. And then the director of this movie would ask me a Dread Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh. So it was a double interview.
Jason Mantzoukas
Double interview.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's smart. Yeah, that's smart. So you're wearing the same outfit in both.
Jason Mantzoukas
Exactly. And then they just cut everything out. I don't know. So that's weird. Yeah, because we're such huge Dread Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Massive Dread Zeppelin F. I mean, we're Dreadheads.
Jason Mantzoukas
Of course. Now, if you don't know who we're talking about, who could blame you?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Then turn this off because you're not going to enjoy the rest of the.
Jason Mantzoukas
Show and turn 50.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We urge you audience to enjoy this year of comedy bang bang, turn 50.
Jason Mantzoukas
But this is a movie that I guess we both have watched, even though they did not use our interviews. And it just tells the. And chronicles, really, the entire history of Dread Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yes. Soup to Nuts, top to bottom. T2B.
Jason Mantzoukas
The band that plays reggae versions of Led Zeppelin songs into all different cover.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Songs in a slightly reggae, heavy metal version.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes. And it has an Elvis impersonator as the lead singer. Yes. Tortelis Tortelvis. Yes. Whose real name is John Tortel.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Cool Cat
As.
Jason Mantzoukas
As told in the movie.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Here's the thing. We're preaching to the converted, Right. Because you guys all know all of this. My assumption is that this audience has also watched the documentary available for free on YouTube.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right. And I guess it looked like you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Were going to jump.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I was. I was. I. I thought you were. Because you went on YouTube. And that sort of implies that I have, you know, another half of a sentence to go.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yes. That we've watched it on YouTube and.
Jason Mantzoukas
And you've retained all of the information, obviously, as we have.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And you've taken copious notes. As I did.
Jason Mantzoukas
We've of course, seen the interviews with Carl J. I. Cheese. Ed Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Holy cow. The twins Spice. The twins who both played Ed Zeppelin.
Jason Mantzoukas
That is a piece of information. I have no idea.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Maybe the only salient piece of information that I can still conjure up from my watch.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Which ended 10 minutes ago as I was parking. Really?
Jason Mantzoukas
I ended it about 10 minutes.
Scott Aukerman
You don't remember two guys got interviewed in the same pool.
Jason Mantzoukas
Shibby, shibby.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, what's going on?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Shimmy, shimmy, Cocoa Bob. Shimmy, shimmy. Wow. What's going on?
Jason Mantzoukas
Hey. With Tom Hanks, who Got interviewed in the same pool.
Scott Aukerman
There's two guys and they both got interviewed standing in a pool.
Jason Mantzoukas
I remember one guy with a pool and a floaty bottom.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm sorry, Scott, you're jumping straight over, Shimmy. Have you seen the documentary about Dread Zeppelin?
Scott Aukerman
Of course I have. I'm 50.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was wondering how old you were, Jimmy.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I'm exactly 50 today. Today's my birthday.
Jason Mantzoukas
Happy birthday, Shimmy. When you turn 50 you have to watch this docum.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And you watched it on your birthday. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
I did? Yeah. How I like to celebrate. Watch a documentary that's too long.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's like you thought 88 minutes was too long.
Scott Aukerman
I thought all the information could have been conveyed in 2515.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would say a quick 15, I'll be honest. This is Dread Zeppelin. This, this, this Dread Zeppelin. The band and the documentary.
Scott Aukerman
They explained what Dread Zeppelin was many times.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So many times. And they played full performances that were.
Jason Mantzoukas
Not incredibly well recorded.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. This documentary is like the Hogwart letter that arrives when you turn 11.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
When you turn 50 you get a DVD or a hyperlink arrives in your mail and you gotta watch it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, happy birthday, Shimmy. How else are you gonna celebrate?
Scott Aukerman
Thanks, man.
Jason Mantzoukas
What? How else are you gonna celebrate?
Scott Aukerman
I'm probably gonna take a walk on the beach.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow. Okay. Which beach?
Scott Aukerman
Which one?
Jason Mantzoukas
That's what I said.
Cool Cat
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Are you looking for recommendations?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Which beach should I go to?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow. I mean, of course. Venice Beach. Popular here, you know, you all the. The board Muscle Man.
Scott Aukerman
You get to see the girls in.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The bikini, so, you know. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
You get to see the skateboarding dog.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sounds like you've been there many times. I love it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're selling me on. Okay, Randy Newman.
Jason Mantzoukas
So why not just go there? Why do you need recommendations if you love it so much?
Scott Aukerman
I want to try something new.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I. I'm sure you could hop on a plane and get to the east coast in time.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sure. Myrtle Beach?
Scott Aukerman
Sure. What about Jones Beach?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah, sure.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe I'll go to England. Go to one of those beaches. It's all rocks.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wouldn't that be cool?
Jason Mantzoukas
Let's see, how long is the flight to there? It's like nine hours or something like that.
Scott Aukerman
Not by the Concord.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, that's. Oh, really? You and Phil Collins?
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We gotta get a call.
Scott Aukerman
We're best friends.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
When are we gonna get that? Wait, hold on, wait a second.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're best friends with Phil Collins?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, but who cares about that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, we do. We've got a lot.
Scott Aukerman
You find that interesting?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, of course we.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

Scott Aukerman

Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. Hey, Phil, you're 73. Did you watch this dred Zeppelin documentary 23 years ago?
Cool Cat
Oh, Song of Hope. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that. Of course I have. It's great. Yeah, I've seen it a few times. I love it.
Jason Mantzoukas
What did you think about it?
Cool Cat
Oh, I love it. It's so funny. I love the part where the guy's ball was accidentally in a photograph. It's amazing. I mean, to have that happen.
Jason Mantzoukas
He was the second funniest member.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yes.
Cool Cat
He was so funny.
Jason Mantzoukas
Speaking of members.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And once the first funniest member left, the second funniest member became.
Jason Mantzoukas
Stepped up to the plate.
Cool Cat
Of course he did. You know, they didn't use any of my interviews in that. Of course, I was interviewed by Dred Zeppelin.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. Wow.
Cool Cat
It wasn't just Robert Plant.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I was gonna say, because Robert Plant, they do figures in.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. In an enormous manner.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Cool Cat
Well, I actually came out before him and said that I liked Dread Zeppelin.
Jason Mantzoukas
Plant was copying you.
Cool Cat
Well, I don't know about that, but I was the first person to sort of say like, they're all right. You know, check them out.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're all right. Yeah, exactly. A ringing endorsement. Maybe that's why everybo to calm down.
Scott Aukerman
They're more afraid of you than you are of them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Shimmy. You guys just have such a great friendship. It's obvious to us.
Cool Cat
Yeah, we do. I love Shimmy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's a great guy, this. What a great.
Cool Cat
Yeah, Shimmy and I.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Where'd you.
Cool Cat
You were going for a walk on the beach. And I've got a place out there.
Scott Aukerman
That's right.
Cool Cat
And I was sort of using my binoculars to sort of look at people on the beach.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it was Doc Wyler State Beach.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Cool Cat
That's where. My house.
Scott Aukerman
Where Phil Collins has a home. Yes.
Cool Cat
And that is my doctor.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Wow. Oh, this is your doctor as well, Docuiler.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, so you both live there on his beach. Andy's your doctor.
Cool Cat
Well, if you are a patient, State Beach.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, got it.
Scott Aukerman
So it's State.
Cool Cat
No, no, it's his state beach. If you're a patient of Doc Wilders, you.
Jason Mantzoukas
You can buy a home on the compound.
Cool Cat
And so that's what I've done.
Jason Mantzoukas
And now Shimmy's a musician as well. Did you bond over that?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I forgot.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You forgot.
Jason Mantzoukas
You've done Blood Shimmy.
Scott Aukerman
We did talk about that.
Cool Cat
We wrote an entire album.
Scott Aukerman
It's called the Lamb Gets Back up.
Jason Mantzoukas
And Leaves Broadway and Takes a Right on Fifth.
Scott Aukerman
That's all in parentheses.
Cool Cat
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
I. I mean, the Carpet Crawlers. Is there a sequel to that, perhaps?
Scott Aukerman
Sure.
Jason Mantzoukas
Which is one of the most famous songs on the live.
Scott Aukerman
Absolutely. Everybody knows it, including me.
Cool Cat
We got to be honest, us pretty high, didn't we? And we did up. We really explored Sudio. We got to know more about Su.
Scott Aukerman
We added four more Sues.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, whoa, whoa. So you guys went back into the studio for Sudio.
Jason Mantzoukas
So Sue. Sue, Sue. Sue. Sue. Sue Studio.
Cool Cat
Correct.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's seven Sues. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
For seven brothers.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who are the brothers?
Scott Aukerman
Well, you got Eddie.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
You got Joey. Sweet. You got Petey. You got Billy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think we have almost all the Ramones.
Scott Aukerman
You got Bobby.
Jason Mantzoukas
Ricky.
Scott Aukerman
Ricky.
Jason Mantzoukas
There's Dee Dee.
Scott Aukerman
Of course, Dee Dee. The seven brothers.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the law on Sudio.
Cool Cat
They're all married to a Sue Studio.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sue Studio is a woman's name.
Scott Aukerman
Just like George Foreman named all his kids George. Wow. Some guy named all his daughters Sue.
Jason Mantzoukas
Incredible.
Scott Aukerman
His name is Stu.
Cool Cat
Stu Studio.
Jason Mantzoukas
Stu Studio. When is this coming out?
Cool Cat
The album? Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
What do you. What did you think I was talking about?
Scott Aukerman
Would you still put on the finish?
Jason Mantzoukas
How long ago?
Cool Cat
It's got to be perfect. This was years ago, I think. But it's got to be just right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is that where you're going right now, to tinker with it?
Cool Cat
It feels right. We might. It's your birthday.
Scott Aukerman
We're gonna lie down on some rocks and just start dreaming about the album being finished.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, the band Lies down on Broadway, right?
Scott Aukerman
Huh?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
On the.
Jason Mantzoukas
On the rocks.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
On the rocks.
Cool Cat
It's like Chinese democracy, except no one's waiting for it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, I mean, this is the first anyone's heard about it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You guys have Buckethead in your band.
Cool Cat
I think he did come in for a track or two, didn't he?
Scott Aukerman
He did.
Cool Cat
We had Steve Lukatha, thank God.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, my God.
Jason Mantzoukas
From Toto.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
One of the greats. Yacht rock pioneer.
Cool Cat
No, wait, don't say that to him.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, he doesn't like to be classified as.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Not at all. Sorry.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, of course.
Scott Aukerman
We got Michael McDonald.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, Michael McDonald is involved.
Scott Aukerman
Yep.
Jason Mantzoukas
Michael McDonald and Phil Collins together. I've always wanted to hear that combination.
Cool Cat
Oh, my God. It's just everything you would dream.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I want put this out.
Scott Aukerman
Well, it's almost ready. It's so close.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I mean, what is there left to do?
Cool Cat
You know? What we can't find is someone to play harmonica.
Jason Mantzoukas
Stevie Wonder. Bob Dylan.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Boots Thielman.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, Bob.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Neil Young. I bet you could get Timothy Chalamet. He learned to play harmonica for the movie.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know what it was?
Cool Cat
We started with John Popper and he said no. And it sort of took the wind out of ourselves.
Jason Mantzoukas
Once Popper says no, word gets around.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, we really wanted him because he has so many harmonicas.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A vest full of them.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, maybe we could get whoever played that dumb bass harmonica on the Beach Boys album.
Cool Cat
You know who had a great harmonica player was Dread Zeppelin. They had a. Oh, wait.
Jason Mantzoukas
What was. What was the harmonica player in Dread Zeppelin? I don't think that they were represented in this movie.
Cool Cat
No, I think it was Ja Paul Jones on harmonica.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, I think. Did Ja Paul Jones play harmonica?
Cool Cat
He's a multi instrumentalist.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, probably you're thinking of Ja Paul Joe. Of course.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Joe Joe.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right. Yeah, the. The late Ja Paul Joe.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. You know, one of the things in this documentary is that they don't tell you that he died. Just that he was the driving force of the band.
Jason Mantzoukas
And he's never interviewed and he's never interviewed.
Scott Aukerman
After a while you figure out, well, this guy ain't around no more.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And when they have, like, archival footage of him, he's the only person saying, like, thoughtful, interesting things about the band. He also has a point of view.
Cool Cat
Well, that's because they cut my interviews.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm sorry, Phil. This is terrible. Have you ever been cut out of anything before?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, Mike and the Mechanics.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's a good point.
Cool Cat
That's a real, real tough one.
Jason Mantzoukas
How did you feel when you heard about Mike and the Mechanics and then you Find out you're not a mechanic.
Cool Cat
I was furious because of the chaps in that band. I'm the only one who really can fix a car.
Jason Mantzoukas
You can fix a car?
Scott Aukerman
Of course I can.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is that how you up your back?
Cool Cat
Yes. Rolling in and out of cars, that's dangerous work.
Scott Aukerman
I told you to put padding on that little slide.
Cool Cat
But I thought I'd build up enough scabs over time.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, God.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can I see?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't think.
Cool Cat
What?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is it all on your back?
Cool Cat
Yes, I know, I know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Your entire back is a scab.
Cool Cat
Yes, it is and always will be. That's what Doc Wyler says.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Take off.
Jason Mantzoukas
Take off your newsboy hat. Let's see your. Oh, my God. Your entire bald head is a scab.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Now you're all scabbed up, bro.
Cool Cat
I know I have the cars on a hydraulic lift, but it isn't toll it enough. So I've just scraped my head along the bottom of the car all the time.
Jason Mantzoukas
Lift it up one inch higher.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're not a big man.
Cool Cat
I know.
Jason Mantzoukas
You got. You got ripped off.
Cool Cat
The point is, I can fix a car, okay? I should have been in the band.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm sorry.
Cool Cat
None of the rest of them are mechanics in any way at all.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I mean, you're right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Also, how many guys are in there.
Jason Mantzoukas
That are the mechanics?
Scott Aukerman
It's Mac and what, two other guys? Guys?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, you, of course you have. It's like.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's the rest of the guys from.
Jason Mantzoukas
J. Paul Carrick, of course, who sang Tempted Squeeze, Adrian Lee, Peter Van Hook, Paul Young.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, so it's a lot of dudes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Anthony Drennan, Tim Hower, Luke Jubie.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Luke. Juby. I mean, if Juby's there, you know.
Scott Aukerman
It'S gonna be that guy who's in Mechan Mechanics.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hey, speaking of the music band.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, boy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Chibi, have you ever watched it?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I love it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Do you know I watched it on my 49th birthday.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, I forget what our. What our latest argument is about the Music Man. Me and you. No, no, no. Not you and me. You and me are on the same page usually, but I have this doctor who fixed my foot.
Scott Aukerman
Dr. Vinny Boom Box?
Jason Mantzoukas
No. Dr. Bill Blondie, of course. And Dr. Mel Melman. Oh, no. Bing. Lujo as well.
Scott Aukerman
Dr. Feel good. You know, not shrinking.
Jason Mantzoukas
Beverly, I. I already said who it was. And then this other guy being Lujo, and we. We had some sort of a disagreement about the Music man, but I can't remember what it was anymore.
Scott Aukerman
Was it whether or not the end was a fantasy or just a fast forward in time?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, it could have been about that, but I don't recall.
Scott Aukerman
And that was. You both felt strongly enough about it to be an argument?
Jason Mantzoukas
I think so. Like a real shouting match, as I recall.
Cool Cat
I don't know that musical as well as some people do.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Do.
Cool Cat
But are the. Is the number of other instruments Specified?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, there's 76.
Cool Cat
I know there's 76 trombones.
Jason Mantzoukas
Are the other 10 cornets okay?
Scott Aukerman
They were close at hand.
Cool Cat
Oh, they were closer.
Jason Mantzoukas
They weren't part of the band, though.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's the makeup of the rest of the band?
Scott Aukerman
There's rows and rows of the finest virtuosos.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Thousands and thousands of people in this band.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Too many.
Jason Mantzoukas
Too many people.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Too many people.
Scott Aukerman
When you think about trombones, what do I think about them? No, when you think about them, yeah. 76.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Tremendous number.
Scott Aukerman
In a standard band, you're not gonna have more than maybe five of them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like maybe an orchestra.
Cool Cat
And that's why I wonder, is it. Is it that. Is it that everything else is as large as the trombone section?
Jason Mantzoukas
Relative, meaning. Yes. Yes. Proportionally, that's what I should hope.
Cool Cat
Otherwise you'd have 76 trombones and two drummers.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know, you probably have, you know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
20 timpani players or 162 saxophone players. I mean, like, these are giant numbers. Think of the amount of stuff being just blown out through the spit valves of this band.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just disgusting. Well, guys, I know you got to get on this Concord. Jimmy. You only have a few hours left in your birthday.
Scott Aukerman
Got to go.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, your famous catchphrase. This time you mean it.
Scott Aukerman
You've never meant it more than now. Got to go.
Jason Mantzoukas
Jimmy, we love you. Happy birthday.
Cool Cat
I love his rod.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. An incredible, incredible.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, he's acting on Miami Vice. I didn't even get to talk to him.
Jason Mantzoukas
We never got to talk to him.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
About Buster in the Air Tonight.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, so much.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Which I used to play along with on drums. Boy.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Scott Aukerman
He was also an extra in A Hard Day's Night.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
I didn't know. Hard Day's Night. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Incredible.
Jason Mantzoukas
He played percussion on All Things Must Pass, I believe.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Nice George Harrison record. Incredible guy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Somebody that it would be legitimately normal for us to spend the entire episode.
Jason Mantzoukas
The entire episode with. But they had to go.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. And you know what? Good.
Jason Mantzoukas
And you know what? We have to go because we have to take a break, unfortunately. But when we. When we come back, we're going to be talking to a person who works in a factory.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can't wait. And until then, enjoy these words from Totino's Pizza Rolls and Tortelvis.
Jason Mantzoukas

You know, the prep, the downtime, all of it thankfully, there's the Cologuard test, a non invasive screening option for adults 45 and older at average risk that is delivered right to your door. Early detection is critical when caught early. Colon cancer is survivable in 90% of the cases. With the cologuard test, the process is simple. The test is delivered to your door, you send the sample back to the lab and get results within two weeks. The best part, the Cologuard test is covered by most insurance plans.

Cool Cat
More.
Jason Mantzoukas
Comedy. Bang, bang. We're back. And we have Jason Manzoukas here of the Northeastern Manzoukases.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes, the Massachusetts Manzoukas.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right. The MMs.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The mass mans.
Jason Mantzoukas
The Mass Mans. And we have to get to our next guests. We have a couple coming in here at the same time. First of all, he works at a factory at a. I'm making some sort of confection or snack item. Food factory. Food. Some sort of food factory. I can't recall.
Cool Cat
You really can't remember this food?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wait, I know that voice.
Jason Mantzoukas
I know the voice, but I don't.
Cool Cat
Can'T remember the specific kind of food that I do. I've been on popcorn.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, it's chips. I think it's a chip guy.
Cool Cat
Oh, my God.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Right?
Cool Cat
I'm not as insulted about chips as I am by popcorn. What is that?
Jason Mantzoukas
What's the theme to popcorn, which we always sing when you come on the show.
Cool Cat
No, you couldn't. There's no reason to sing about the popcorns when I am here because I have nothing to do with popcorn.
Jason Mantzoukas
You have nothing to do with popcorn?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Nothing. Don't you do the salt on popcorn?
Cool Cat
Good lord. This is a I can't tell you trail mix. I'm going to become so mad in a moment.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're not going to August out, are you?
Cool Cat
I'm going yes. And I turn red. Now. It used to be green, now it's red. We're not really good.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, let me introduce you. August Lint is here.
Cool Cat
Yes. Hello, listeners.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hello, August.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
August Lint. It's chocolate lint.
Cool Cat
Chocolate lint.
Jason Mantzoukas
Chocolate, yes, exactly. Because the chocolate gets stuck in your belly button. What?
Cool Cat
That might be why they called that chocolate lint, but that's not why I named him. I don't work Amongst the chocolates. That happens to be my name, Miss Lind.
Jason Mantzoukas
I see.
Cool Cat
I work at the Schneiderberg pretzel factory.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, right, right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Schneiderberg. I knew Schneiderberg.
Cool Cat
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Putting chocolate, making chocolate covered pretzels.
Cool Cat
Absolutely not. We don't. We don't believe in chocolate covered pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
You don't believe in them?
Cool Cat
Well, believe they exist. They're real. I've seen them. I know they're real.
Jason Mantzoukas
At what point were you convinced that they existed?
Cool Cat
Yeah, I'm sure the first time I saw one, I said, okay, that's a thing that is in the ru. In the world. And there's nothing can be done about it now.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
See, but it took seeing one up until you physically saw one.
Cool Cat
I think if somebody said to me, hey, I had a chocolate covered pretzel, I would probably have believed them.
Jason Mantzoukas
But you would. But no one had ever said that to you before you saw one, right?
Cool Cat
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But what if someone said to you, I believe the world is flat?
Cool Cat
I believe the world is flat? I would say, well, okay, I'm open to it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, you are.
Cool Cat
I'm open to the possibility that the world is flat.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, you've been so many places, August. The world could be flat.
Cool Cat
Yeah, I've been all. All over the world.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Cool Cat
Yeah. I mean, could it be flat? What happens when you get to the end? Do you go just upside down?
Jason Mantzoukas
Upside down, yeah, exactly.
Cool Cat
I've never been upside down, I can tell you that.
Jason Mantzoukas
You've never been upside down.
Cool Cat
I've never had the experience of walking and becoming and feeling yourself to be upside down. It's never. All of my travels, that moment has not occurred to me.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So that's a bucket list item.
Cool Cat
I don't think I've ever been upside down in any regard at all.
Jason Mantzoukas
Never been upside down anywhere.
Cool Cat
How do you get it? How do you get to be upside down?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I mean, you could buy a. Some sort of workout bar, you know, gravity boots.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. But you wouldn't be able to like walk on the ceiling. You wouldn't be able to move around upside down. You could hang yourself upside down. Down.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, sure. Fred Astaire once walked around on the ceiling.
Cool Cat
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, he was ripping off Lionel Richie, but I've never done either one of them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, well, the. The person sneezing, we have to introduce them. August Lint is here. Let's introduce him. We. I first encountered this young man on the Comedy Bang Bang tour this, this last year. I can't remember the city. It feels like.
Scott Aukerman
Am I supposed to.
Jason Mantzoukas
Say you could if you want. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Essentially we met in Denver.
Jason Mantzoukas
Denver, that's right, yes, Denver. Please welcome. He's a little boy. Mason. I Clodge.
Scott Aukerman
Hi.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hi, Mason.
Scott Aukerman
Hi, sir.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hi. It's great to see you.
Scott Aukerman
It's nice to see you. Thanks for having me on the show.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, it's my pleasure. This is August Land. He's. He works in a factory. Hello.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hi.
Cool Cat
Hello. We keep spanking at the. Speaking at the same time.
Jason Mantzoukas
You keep spanking when I see a little boy.
Scott Aukerman
Hi, Dr. Freud.
Cool Cat
I was thinking of spanking you, but how old are you? Masons?
Scott Aukerman
How old.
Jason Mantzoukas
How. Yeah, how old are you? It's 10.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
10.
Jason Mantzoukas
10 years old.
Cool Cat
Boy.
Jason Mantzoukas
God. And you know, working in a factory is one of the great jobs that you could have. Have possibly in your future.
Scott Aukerman
Factory is cool. I like it. Essentially, when you go into a factory, there's a lot of machines and I think that's neat.
Cool Cat
That's right. There's all kinds of machines in a pretzel factory. There's the ones that make the pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
I guess the ones that put the salt on the. Or do you. Do you put the salt on. I can't. No, you just inspect it to make sure. You inspect the salt to see if it's good or. Or that the right amount has been put on.
Cool Cat
Oh, my God. It's ridiculous. Try to explain again. The salts come down on a conveyor belt toward me. I stop the belt. I inspect each salt. In front of me, I have a pile of salts that is good enough for pretzels. Salts that is not good enough for pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
What are those salts doing in the factory?
Cool Cat
What do you mean?
Jason Mantzoukas
The ones that are not good enough. It seems like just bring in salt that's good enough to be on the.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So how long is the belt stopped for that? Like that, like negates the point of a conveyor belt.
Jason Mantzoukas
A CO worker could just hand it to you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It stops and you organize. That's basically a desk.
Cool Cat
I agree with that. Listen, I agree. I don't think it should be. And it didn't used to be a machine that did this at all. It was used to be. I had a woman who would come with a tray of salts and I would say, I'm done with this tray. And she would come and take it away. But now everything is becoming automated. And they're telling me one day they're going to come up with an automated way of testing out the salt.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They've already gotten rid of the salt woman.
Jason Mantzoukas
I Mean, it sounds to me like before the salt woman gets these salts on a tray, you inspect the salt so that it never even makes it to the tray.
Cool Cat
What do you mean? Wait a minute. What, What? What?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, she's bringing salts to you on this tray, and you're looking at the salt saying, this is good enough. This is not good enough.
Cool Cat
Right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do that before it gets put on the tray.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Or only buy good salt.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
You should go someplace closer to where the source of the salt is.
Jason Mantzoukas
You guys, do you see what I'm saying? Like, this is an unnecessary step.
Cool Cat
Somebody has to approve the sword for the pretzels. You're saying it should. It should not be me. It should be someone.
Jason Mantzoukas
Earlier in the process. It should be you, but earlier in the process.
Cool Cat
How early in the process do you want it to happen?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Where do you get the salt from?
Jason Mantzoukas
Where does the woman with that puts it on the tray get it from?
Cool Cat
Well, she gets it from a truck.
Scott Aukerman
Is she pretty?
Cool Cat
She pretty? I want to give you a serious answer to your question. She's got a nice face. Face bot.
Jason Mantzoukas
She's butter body.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Butter body.
Jason Mantzoukas
Total butter body.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Totally melting.
Cool Cat
No, it was like she would wear clothes that were not revealing of her shape. And I time I would say put. Let us see something. You know.
Jason Mantzoukas
This doesn't sound like a. A work environment, August.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is a work environment. What?
Cool Cat
No, I didn't say it like that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like, I just say it.
Cool Cat
I just said, like, hey, show us a little something. If I gotta look at you coming and going all day, they're making eye.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Contact with all of us and doing the hands thing, you know, to insinuate. Curvy lady.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Cool Cat
Yeah. Well, anyway, that's. Then they turned her into a robot belt.
Jason Mantzoukas
They turned her into it. They didn't just replace her with it.
Cool Cat
That's how it was explained to me. And sometimes I hear the machine crying.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Her consciousness has been put. Put into the machine.
Cool Cat
I hope not.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But that Phoebe Waller Bridges character's consciousness was put into the Millennium Falcon.
Cool Cat
It was. Who did that?
Jason Mantzoukas
Orlando did. Or did in what movie? Solo.
Cool Cat
Yes, I saw that.
Scott Aukerman
But I missed that war story.
Cool Cat
I thought, that's good.
Scott Aukerman
My dad says that eventually all people are going to be replaced and they'll have other things to do.
Cool Cat
Like what?
Scott Aukerman
You know, serve their masters.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah. Mason. One thing we found out about Mason on tour. Who's your dad again?
Scott Aukerman
Essentially.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who's your daddy?
Scott Aukerman
Essentially, My dad is one of the lizard people that lives under the Denver airport.
Cool Cat
Oh, one of the lizard people that lives under the Denver Airport.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Cool Cat
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. And you were lost or orphaned at the airport. Is that what happened?
Scott Aukerman
My dad said he found me.
Jason Mantzoukas
He.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, he said he. Yeah. So he's not your biological father. You're. You are not half lizard person.
Scott Aukerman
He's the dad who stepped up.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Great. Love that. Yep.
Jason Mantzoukas
But he.
Scott Aukerman
He's a little boy.
Jason Mantzoukas
You remember your life before vaguely, right?
Scott Aukerman
Little bit. Essentially, I remember being in a house and being in a crib, and then essentially, I remember my dad finding me there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Cool Cat
Right where he found you. In a house. In a crib.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Cool Cat
Oh, I thought he found you at the Denver airport.
Scott Aukerman
No, he just stumbled upon me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Finders keepers.
Scott Aukerman
In a crowd crib in someone's house.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And then he took you underneath the Denver airport and raised you. Yeah, well, lizard dad is better than no dad.
Scott Aukerman
Essentially, that's.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, it is essentially that.
Cool Cat
Why are there lizards living under the Denver Airport?
Scott Aukerman
Lizard people.
Cool Cat
Oh, yeah. Lizard people.
Jason Mantzoukas
But still, why half lizard, half people?
Scott Aukerman
Because the time isn't right yet.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're. They're planning some sort of a hostile takeover.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, like a V situation.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, like a v situ. Like a. Like a below ground.
Scott Aukerman
It won't be so bad.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. And at a time to be determined.
Scott Aukerman
Everybody will have a job to do. Nobody. No more ladies will get turned into conveyor belts.
Jason Mantzoukas
What's the upside?
Cool Cat
This is distressing news to me. That the whole planet's going to be taken over by lizard people. Is that what you're trying to say?
Scott Aukerman
Essentially, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
There are a lot of people who don't want this to happen and want to escape the earth before something like this happens.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, is that. Yeah, like the important people. The.
Jason Mantzoukas
The important people in every. In every country.
Cool Cat
So, like the salt inspector for pretzel factories?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, that's an interesting question.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm curious. Do the lizard people. Do they have a taste for salt? Like. Or pretzels even? I guess.
Scott Aukerman
But, you know, essentially, they're more of sweet than savory.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're more of a sweet.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sweet tooth.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
So, like, chocolate.
Cool Cat
Cool.
Scott Aukerman
Gonna be a lot of it. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, great.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you think there could be some confusion with August's last name and lint. You know?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lindt chocolate. Chocolate covered pretzels.
Scott Aukerman
Have you thought about making chocolate instead of looking at salt?
Cool Cat
I've never thought about it. I have no interest. I would sooner change my last name to Pretzel, but I also have no plan to do that. I think people can handle that. A person's name might be the same as the brand of a popular chocolate. But he makes pretzels and not chocolate.
Scott Aukerman
That's too bad.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think you should make lint your middle name and chocolate your last name.
Cool Cat
That would only make worse the confusions.
Jason Mantzoukas
But maybe for the lizard people who like sweet things, this helps you.
Cool Cat
Then of course they would eat me. Don't you see? They would think if you call yourself chocolate, someone that wants to eat chocolate might do this point.
Jason Mantzoukas
I thought that they would view you as the middleman to more chocolate.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Or some sort of important chocolate tier.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, if you put chocolate in your name, that's going to be a problem.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Probably.
Scott Aukerman
But if you put the name of a famous chocolate in your name, then they might spare you. I mean, give you a job.
Cool Cat
Does your father have, like, how do I ask? It's any weaknesses? You know what I mean?
Scott Aukerman
He cares too much.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. But I'm looking for more of a strength. Honestly.
Scott Aukerman
He's too punctual.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, well, sometimes it shames other workers.
Scott Aukerman
He works too hard.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is gonna be tough. Yeah.
Cool Cat
These are not weaknesses.
Scott Aukerman
But if you can make chocolate, essentially you would be viewed as a high value human. And you probably could wear clothes instead of just a loincloth.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wait a. Whoa, wait a minute.
Cool Cat
Everybody else gotta be in a loincloth?
Jason Mantzoukas
This isn't sounding that bad.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's starting to sound like Planet of.
Jason Mantzoukas
The Apes, not lizards.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Essentially humans won't be allowed to have clothes anymore.
Jason Mantzoukas
What is it about the clothes? Is it the pockets? Always able to keep a weapon in there?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, pockets are too sneaky.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So a non sneaky society is what we're looking at.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Because you don't want to have to go around saying like, what has it got in its pockets is. So we just take the pockets away.
Cool Cat
I have another question. Have you. You seen Dread Zeppelin? A Song of Hope, the documentary.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wait, you've seen this? August. Lynn.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, how old are you, August?
Cool Cat
Oh, I. I just turned 50.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Welcome.
Cool Cat
Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Welcome. Yeah, we've seen this too.
Cool Cat
Something happened. I sleep, you know, of course, with a television in my bedroom. And at midnight the day I turned 50, the television came on and it's explained. That documentary snapped on.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Cool Cat
Snapped on. Yeah. And I watched it until 1:22 in the morning.
Jason Mantzoukas
But. So, Mason, have you seen it?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And then you said you watched it again on 1.5 speed.
Scott Aukerman
I did.
Cool Cat
Because I thought, wait a minute. Nothing interesting is in my brain from having watched that. I learned nothing. I must have missed something. But. No.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you think that you Missed the names of the band members, like Putmon, AKA Butt Boy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And we later see his wedding to as he introduces her. Mrs. Butt Boy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Mrs. Butt Boy. Charlie Hodge.
Cool Cat
Yeah. No, I missed that.
Jason Mantzoukas
You missed all that?
Cool Cat
I think I must have missed all that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. Yeah. So you've seen this, but. Mason, have you seen this movie?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, essentially I watched it with my dad.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, did your dad just turn 50?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Older dad. Huh?
Scott Aukerman
Older dad. And essentially what I got from it was that they. They had. I. I didn't realize they had a fake Colonel Tom Parker. And also a publicist that would sometimes give interviews.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, they did. They didn't in the years that I was seeing them back in 89 through 91 or so, that had real wrestling vibes to me.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Like me, Jean. Like. Like. Like. None of these characters seemed real.
Jason Mantzoukas
In any case, Lint. To call you by lint.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
August, you listen up. Lint.
Jason Mantzoukas
In any case, August.
Cool Cat
That's what my wife called me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just check the salt before it gets to the step.
Cool Cat
Oh, for Christ's sakes. The salt comes from the Donekil Depression in Ethiopia. From the salt bed there.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Of course.
Cool Cat
Yeah. And it is chiseled up there by children, and then it is put on a boat and it is shipped to Germany. And then it is put on a train and then a truck. And then now it is fed into a conveyor belt to get to me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, here's what you do. You get. You get there before the conveyor belt and you tell them, we want to buy this part of salt. We want to buy these grains of salt. We don't want to buy these. You're not spending as much on salt. And then you cut out the step where you have to inspect the salt once it's.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You need to move to Ethiopia.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So that every piece that's chiseled by.
Jason Mantzoukas
Children you are signing up for even better.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So from. From their tiny little hands, you get to pick what salt is what. And whatever gets sent to the Schneiderberg boom. It's on breath.
Jason Mantzoukas
We're going to run this up the chains, please, because I have been there.
Cool Cat
It's extremely inhospitable.
Jason Mantzoukas
You've been there on vacation?
Cool Cat
I've taken a vacation to the dronic Hill Depression, specifically in Ethiopia. It is a thermal sulfuric surface. It is extremely hot. It is dangerous. It is a geothermal field. They can burst into flame amongst your feet at any moment.
Jason Mantzoukas
We gotta run this up the chain.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We're run it up the chain.
Cool Cat
Please don't. I don't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We're Chain.
Jason Mantzoukas
Run it. Yes, yes.
Scott Aukerman
Is that the only place to get salt?
Cool Cat
Well, it's the only place that Schneiderberg Pretzel Sauces at. Salt. We have a special deal there.
Jason Mantzoukas
What's the deal?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's the deal with salt?
Cool Cat
There was a deal that Dolman Schmeiderberg made that it specifies there will be children, laborers who can be scalded by geothermal activity at any moment.
Jason Mantzoukas
So he didn't care about the price at all. He just wanted to make sure it was children somehow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, well, there is a belief that kids pick the best salt.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's true. The tiny fingers.
Cool Cat
Exactly.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Cool Cat
That's good for picking, but not for inspecting.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Cool Cat
Well, it is the discernment of an adult. No offense, Mason.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, look, guys, we have to take a break here. But. But there was something you came here to talk about, wasn't there, August?
Cool Cat
Oh, yeah. You want me to just quickly tell it?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, no, I want you to tease it because we're going to take a break and when we come back, you can tell everyone I have a dire.
Cool Cat
Warning for the people of your country.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, no.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We'll be right back after these tests.
Jason Mantzoukas
All right, we'll be right back with more comedy. Bang, bang. After this.

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh. Dread Zeppelin.
Jason Mantzoukas
Dread Zeppelin documentary.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
When they do Prince, I mean they do a Prince.
Jason Mantzoukas
They did a Prince song. Is gorgeous. Purple rand incredible.
Cool Cat
I'm thinking that that devils are like they're doing the King and the Prince was the joke.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, interesting.
Cool Cat
They explained it.
Scott Aukerman
Why didn't they do the Bowie Thin White Duke era.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. Or any of Queen.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Under pressure.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
To get both of those guys in there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I guess. Why didn't they do any of those songs?
Jason Mantzoukas
I never thought about that.
Scott Aukerman
The Duke.
Jason Mantzoukas
The Duke met Queen. The Thin White Duke, that is.
Scott Aukerman
Do you feel like maybe it wasn't worth thinking about and that's how come you didn't?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, probably. I feel really disappointed that I thought of it.
Scott Aukerman
And they're eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right. The documentary makes that clear.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is really interesting, especially for Scott, for you and I, because we've talked quite a bit about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, I've been there. Is that what you mean?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, no, we've talked about it. We've talked about it because one of the guys who comes on the show frequently is always talking about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and getting the vocal group, the, the that acapella.
Jason Mantzoukas
Group that does the Christmas albums. These.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
These days. Who were they?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Shannon or Shananna?
Jason Mantzoukas
Shania.
Cool Cat
Shania Twain.
Jason Mantzoukas
Shania Twain.
Scott Aukerman
She's.
Jason Mantzoukas
She's. Hey boys.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hey boys. Indeed.
Scott Aukerman
Hey boys.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hey boys.
Cool Cat
What's the name of the guy that trusted about them?
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you. Do you recall what it is? I remember. I remember he's a water skier.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I know who you're talking about. It's.
Jason Mantzoukas
What's up?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's up? What's up? Wait, how does it go? He goes, you used to start the song. It would be like, you would say. What would you say? What would you use to start the show with before you did, like, user submitted catchphrases?
Jason Mantzoukas
How's it going, Cool Cats?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
How's it going, Cool Cats?
Jason Mantzoukas
How's it going, Cool Cats?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It was Cool Cat. Yeah, it was the character. Cool Cat.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cool Cat.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's, like, super obsessed with getting Acapella band into the rock.
Jason Mantzoukas
Pentatonix.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Pentatonix. Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Pentatonix.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is it Pentatonix? I think it's the ones that did Carmen San Diego.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Rockella. I'm 90% sure it's.
Jason Mantzoukas
How do you know Rock a Pella Being Mason?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm a kid. Cool Cat. Yeah, Mason goes Rockville. Cool Cat's obsessed with getting. This is. Cool Cat is obsessed with getting. What's up, Cool Cat?
Cool Cat
It's me, Cool Cat. I hurt my name.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God. Cool Cat. You're back.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're back, baby.
Scott Aukerman
Hey.
Cool Cat
Trying to get Pentatonic into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, you do. It's pentatonic. Not.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's not Rock Capella.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, we were wrong. Great.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. It is Pentatonic. Pentatonix. Are they even eligible?
Cool Cat
Pentatonix.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
25 years since their first record.
Cool Cat
That's all it takes, man.
Jason Mantzoukas
They. Their. Their origin is 2011.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, we have a problem. It might have been Rockefeller.
Cool Cat
That's what I said, Rockefeller.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, because you. That was your thing. You kept saying you're a Rockapella fella.
Cool Cat
That's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, they've been around since 1986, so obviously they're. They're elsewhere. Eligible.
Cool Cat
Who said Pentatonix? I said Rockefeller.
Jason Mantzoukas
You said Rockefeller.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Of course you said Rockabella. Where in the world am I?
Jason Mantzoukas
Whoa.
Scott Aukerman
I'm Ernie Rocks, the lead singer of Rockapella. Ernie Rock. How did I get here?
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't know. How did you get.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You might have been conjured.
Cool Cat
We said the word Rockapella a bunch of times.
Scott Aukerman
Did you say Rockapella and the Rock and Roll hall of Fame?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that was it.
Scott Aukerman
That's what did it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Awesome. Oh, wow.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, are you Cool Cat?
Jason Mantzoukas
Your biggest fan?
Cool Cat
Cool Cat, your biggest fan?
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, man.
Scott Aukerman
I'm your biggest fan.
Cool Cat
Get out of here.
Scott Aukerman
It's true.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cool Cat.
Scott Aukerman
I love everything you do.
Cool Cat
Everything.
Scott Aukerman
Everything.
Jason Mantzoukas
Now, Cool Cat, by the way, we should describe so cool to see these two people. You're a 10 foot tall cat.
Cool Cat
And.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You are freezing cold.
Jason Mantzoukas
Your paws are under your, your armpits. You can't have.
Scott Aukerman
I like the way your breath comes out in little clouds.
Cool Cat
Wherever I am, it's cold. I don't know, man.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, the temperature has dropped 30 degrees by the way.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't mind it. I like, I like to chill this day out.
Cool Cat
Yeah, it's cuz I'm so cool.
Jason Mantzoukas
You are cool, but you, you're also, you're not cool in the way that like, you know, we, we describe it as like what a cool guy. You're very dorky. Yeah, yeah. Like the I you just said.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, I know who that is. I'm in my 50s.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hey, Ernie Rocks, right?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Cool Cat
I'm trying to be cool. I'm.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Every time you're succeeding.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, you're cool temperature wise, but you.
Cool Cat
I know, but I want to be cool.
Scott Aukerman
I think you're cool in all the ways. Thanks, Rox.
Jason Mantzoukas
But you're. You're wearing glasses, you have a pocket protector, you're wearing high water pants, you're wearing clothes. You are wearing clothes.
Scott Aukerman
You have feline acne.
Cool Cat
First of all, I keep buying sunglasses and the glass falls out and they.
Jason Mantzoukas
Look like nerd glasses. Okay? That's what it is.
Cool Cat
It keeps happening. Every time I buy a pair of.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sunglasses.
Cool Cat
The lenses fall off.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sure. But you know, you can take care. When, when did this happen?
Cool Cat
Just on my way here today.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Then why just like take the. Let take the frames off.
Cool Cat
But then I'm gonna lose them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Cool Cat
Well, yeah, I don't want to get the lenses replaced.
Scott Aukerman
Do you go to the same place to buy sunglasses?
Cool Cat
Every time I go to Sunglass Hood at Huntington Beach.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe don't go there anymore.
Jason Mantzoukas
All right. Is that just a kiosk in the mall?
Cool Cat
Nope, it's your sunglass.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's a mortar.
Cool Cat
It's a physical store. I'm down there all the time because I'm a surfer.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're a surfer?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Really? But cats hate water.
Cool Cat
I know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can you imagine if you went surfing? There's a ten foot cat just.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just surfing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That'd be terrifying. I'd like to see. Actually, I'd love to see cool cat go up against the lizard dad.
Jason Mantzoukas
The lizard dad? Yeah. Or this other guy that I, that I know from. I. I mean. Cool cat. You've been on the show multiple times.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, we love cool cat.
Jason Mantzoukas
So was another guy, this guy that we used to conjure by saying, I.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Would love a cool Cat. Like a.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, I was saying we used to conjure him by saying. What's up, Hot Dog? What's up guys?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot Dog.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hot Dog.
Cool Cat
What's going on? Who the is this?
Jason Mantzoukas
Uhoh, this is. I hate to say it but a surfer. A what? A surfer. Cool Cat.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cool Cat is here. Hot Dog.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And I know this summoned you both.
Jason Mantzoukas
At the same time.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, Hot Dog is so mad.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm so sorry.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot Dog is red in the face. He's so mad.
Cool Cat
Why the would you bring me here when there's a surfer here, man?
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm sorry, man. The war between the surfers and the. And the water skiers. I totally forgot about it when I conjured you both here.
Cool Cat
And it's hotter than ever right now. The war is.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, sure, but not in this room because obviously it's really cold in here, man. Why is it so cold?
Scott Aukerman
Interestingly, you guys, essentially it's because the ten foot cat makes things cold in here. I'm a little kid. Hi. Hey.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is Mason Iclodge.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Mason Ignatius Clodge.
Cool Cat
Yeah, hi. What's going on? Mason? If you had to choose between water skiing and surfing, which one's cooler?
Scott Aukerman
Essentially, I would have to say ice skating is the coolest.
Cool Cat
Oh, very diplomatic.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And also Hot Dog, this is Ernie Rocks, the lead singer.
Scott Aukerman
Rockabella at your service.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, cool.
Scott Aukerman
All right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Rockefeller. Cool.
Cool Cat
I don't know.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't know.
Cool Cat
Rockella.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What's Rockella?
Jason Mantzoukas
Rockefeller is a vocal group that's trying to get into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Scott Aukerman
We are not Pentatonix.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It is an acapella singing group from began in the 80s who were seeking.
Jason Mantzoukas
Formed in New York City in 1986.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Seeking induction into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Cool Cat
Well, this is what I have to say. Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
In case you were wondering, they're they. Their name is a portmanteau of rock and acapella.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, where in the world do we go to fill out our ballots?
Cool Cat
Look, the entire Rock and Roll hall of Fame needs to be shut down until Shana now gets in there. Nobody else. What? That's it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Shut down.
Cool Cat
Shut it down.
Jason Mantzoukas
Shut it down until even the museum aspect of it.
Cool Cat
Even the museum aspect of it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So not just admission, no new members. You're saying shut the whole thing in.
Cool Cat
Time to take extreme action. Because it has been so long that Sha has been eligible. They are dying off. They are no longer performing live shows.
Scott Aukerman
It is.
Jason Mantzoukas
We've seen their website.
Cool Cat
Yeah. It's time to Get Sha and I into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. No more around.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, so this sounds like a verbal threat.
Cool Cat
Oh, wait a minute. What? What did I say? Who am I threatening?
Scott Aukerman
The Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Jason Mantzoukas
As an entity, I guess. All of the employees.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Until they. Until your band gets in. You're. You're going to shut them down?
Cool Cat
Yes, I am calling out to all of my followers out there. We are going to descend upon the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Jason Mantzoukas
Descend who?
Scott Aukerman
Who are your followers?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We're January 16th. The Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Cool Cat
Why not? What's the downside?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
They're all available. So let's do it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Will be wild.
Cool Cat
I want all my J6 hostages.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hostages.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, dear.
Cool Cat
To descend upon the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. That's our next target.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Just the Congressman and women.
Scott Aukerman
My dad has some friends who live under the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Oh, wow. But I. I can tell them to stand down and stand by.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. This might be something to. To do.
Cool Cat
Cool Cat doesn't like any of this.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cool cat.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I almost forgot Cool Cat was here.
Scott Aukerman
Did you know the name Pentatonix comes from the pentagram? They're bad dudes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, so you think they're evil? They're.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're. Wow. Okay.
Scott Aukerman
They're bad, bad people.
Jason Mantzoukas
Deshana and Pentatonix, have they ever collaborated?
Cool Cat
Not to the best of my knowledge, no.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. By the way, I'm on shannon.com and it has. It's a four step process. Let it be known Shanana will no longer tour as a concert group. Right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is like the Ringo Star announcement.
Jason Mantzoukas
To our fans, thank you for your support over five decades of Rock and roll. To our musicians, thank you for all your talent and dedication. Yeah. To all.
Cool Cat
All.
Jason Mantzoukas
Good night, sweetheart.
Scott Aukerman
Is this how the musicians found out that they weren't going to be playing for Sha Na anymore?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
The touring band.
Jason Mantzoukas
But you can still get all the CDs and great sha Na Na merchandise. Click here. There's a little button.
Cool Cat
Well, you know, the sad thing is they probably did because they were booked onto the Malt Shop Memories Cruise. That's right across the Gulf of America.
Jason Mantzoukas
This was about a year and a half ago or so, huh?
Cool Cat
And they split up before they could do the cruise.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, that's heartbreaking.
Cool Cat
It is sad.
Scott Aukerman
It's really sad.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And they. So. And they. They.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow. They're dying off. How many are left?
Cool Cat
It's almost incalculable.
Scott Aukerman
How many did they start out in Cal.
Cool Cat
Exactly.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You might not know Their names, but it's certainly calculable.
Cool Cat
Of course I know their names. Original members of the band. Donnie York is still kicking.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Any relationship. Oh, go ahead. Sorry.
Scott Aukerman
Peppermint Patties. I get the sensation, you know, that makes things cool. It's like Cool Cat. Hey, Cool Cat, if you remember those commercials, you're in your 50s.
Cool Cat
Would the lizard People eat Donny York because he sounds like a chocolate?
Scott Aukerman
Question if his name was Donnie York. Peppermint Patty, maybe.
Jason Mantzoukas
What about Jocko Marcelli? Marcelino.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah.
Cool Cat
Jocko's still alive.
Jason Mantzoukas
The original drummer. Oh, yeah. Veteran.
Cool Cat
Of course. You can't keep Jocko down.
Scott Aukerman
What about John Bowser Bauman?
Cool Cat
Oh, John Bowser Bowman's still alive. Of course.
Scott Aukerman
All right, that's good to hear.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Ernie, for Rockapella. Was Shananna a, like, significant? Was that. Did they inspire you? Another, like, vocal harmony or were they inspiration?
Scott Aukerman
We were. We were inspired by Sha Na Na. We were inspired by the Buffalo Bills from the music, man. We were inspired by.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you've seen the music a music band recently?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, man. I love it. I watch it every day.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hours long.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So you must have all of the information that you were looking for earlier in terms of settling.
Jason Mantzoukas
I can't remember what our argument was about.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Cool Cat
Rockefeller's still touring, right, man?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah. We're gonna be on the Malt Shot Memories Cruise.
Jason Mantzoukas
What?
Scott Aukerman
Cool Cat, we'd be honored if you would join us on the cruise to introduce us.
Cool Cat
I'll be surfing right behind you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow. Holy.
Jason Mantzoukas
Not a good place to introduce a band from by. He's surfing right behind them.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Surfing the weight.
Cool Cat
All right, it's negotiable.
Jason Mantzoukas
Surf in front of them and then.
Cool Cat
Okay, fine.
Jason Mantzoukas
Introduce them and then surf away. Maybe you can, you know, catch up with them after that.
Scott Aukerman
Ladies and gentlemen, Rock.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, Cool Cat, we love you, man.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cool Cat's so cool. Hot Dog. Like, is it hard to see Cool Cat just. Just hitting home run after home run. Cool Cat was just already invited to join Rockapella. And you, Hot Dog, spent years trying to get into shot on, only to be rebuffed every single time. And Cool Cat already on the tour. Already on the cruise.
Cool Cat
Well, you know, look, I didn't come.
Scott Aukerman
Here to start any troubles, but I.
Cool Cat
Would say, like, it's not really so exciting to get invited into a band like Rockefeller. I'm talking about Sean on Now that's a whole.
Scott Aukerman
Just to be clear and insult received, but we did not invite Cool Cat to be a member of the band just to introduce us on the tour. Cool Cat, I hope that's clear.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm sorry, Cool Cat, did you think you were a member of the band?
Cool Cat
Yeah, I did.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, but you. You even. You said you'd be surfing right behind us. We can't. That doesn't help us as a band.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm genuinely heartbroken by Cool Cat's reaction. Cool Cat is breaking my heart right now.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, man, I feel terrible now. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to do that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cool Cat, you're licking your paws. Oh, Cool circle.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Cool Cat's licking a patch of fur until it's raw.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no. Cool Cat, don't get a hot spot.
Cool Cat
I have a skin allergy to rejection.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, Cool cats. Well, Hot Dog and Cool Cat, you're kind of in the same boat now. You've both been rejected by your idols.
Scott Aukerman
And that boat is not all shot Memories cruise.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And that boat is going to drop one of you off at a surf spot and one of you off at a water ski spot.
Cool Cat
Listen, I have a dire warning for your nation.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, shit. How did we forget about that?
Jason Mantzoukas
We totally forgot about this.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All seven of us have forgotten about that dire warning.
Cool Cat
I don't think I was here when it was cheated.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, and Hot Dog as well. I don't think you were here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, Ernie wasn't here either.
Scott Aukerman
Don't tell me Pentatonix has finally summoned the Dark lord. Oh, no.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
By the way, that is probably what they're up to.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Yeah. This is August Lyn and he has a dire warning for America. Or. Or the.
Cool Cat
Just for America.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just for America.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And we'll find out about it after this break.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I know. We don't have any more breaks left.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sorry. Sorry. I misunderstood.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh.
Cool Cat
Oh, okay. Then it's time for me to tell you. Don't buy green. I have been there on a barefoot walking tour of Greenland.
Jason Mantzoukas
Barefoot walking tour?
Cool Cat
Yeah. You can take a barefoot. You know how you sign up for the barefoot walking tour?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Is this an Ina Garten thing? Barefoot Contessa?
Cool Cat
I wish. Because then there might have been food. There is just a barefoot walking tour of Greenland. It is so incredibly inhospitable. They call it the Greenland, but there's no green in there.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's one of those ironic titles, right?
Cool Cat
I guess so. They was being sarcastic. Who names their country sarcastically?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, I think it's a prank. What do you mean it's a prank country?
Cool Cat
Well, it then. But I would say, look, if you buy it, you're not going to Be able to do anything with it. The only thing that they have, the nicest thing, truly, in the whole land of Greenland, is a prison. They drew. They have a beautiful new prison.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, how do you know?
Cool Cat
Well, because I tried to steal a pair of shoes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, no.
Cool Cat
I know. Yeah. But it's a beautiful prison. It's in. It's in the city of nature. And it's just gorgeous. It's modern. It's really cool.
Jason Mantzoukas
How long were you there?
Cool Cat
I was there for only 18 weeks.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay. That's like a short vacation.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, that's like.
Cool Cat
Yeah, but they had. That was throwing the book at me.
Jason Mantzoukas
August, you mentioned a dire warning for us, though. This doesn't sound dire to me. Like, we buy it. We don't buy it. Who cares?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'll be honest. The warning that the lizard people are about to attack the planet from another underneath the Denver airport is a much more dire warning.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. And honestly, we've had a previous guest on the show Neptuna, who has.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Given us an even more dire warning about the surface people. So this. I mean, as far as dire warnings go, this is like a three.
Cool Cat
I'm just saying, like, there's been some talk about you guys buying Greenland, and if you do, it's just. Understand, it's not that great.
Jason Mantzoukas
Don't talk, and it's not that great.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So this is just kind of a buyer beware.
Jason Mantzoukas
Caveat emptour, perhaps?
Cool Cat
Yeah. Or it's fine if you can afford it. I buy it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. This is not dire.
Cool Cat
Oh, you.
Jason Mantzoukas
You teased a dire warning before the break, and honestly, you've come up short If.
Scott Aukerman
If offered enough money. Does Greenland have to sell?
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't think it's like a publicly traded company.
Scott Aukerman
Is there an amount of money where they're just like, we got no choice.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
We can't turn this down.
Jason Mantzoukas
What do they do with it then? Then, like, then suddenly they're part of the United States and they have to give it all back to the government. Government? This is like a trick.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, wow, man. I didn't think about that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, like, they can't just, like, distribute.
Cool Cat
It, but I could try to come up with another dial warning if you're disappointed by that one.
Jason Mantzoukas
I. I just as warnings. I would call it a warning. Not.
Cool Cat
Okay, it's not a dial or.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or a suggestion.
Scott Aukerman
It sounds more like advice.
Cool Cat
It's just a piece of advice. I guess you're right. Okay. I don't want to tell you the other thing, though.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
If you don't want to tell it. Then we can move on.
Jason Mantzoukas
I guess we can move. Well, to be honest, I'm a little intrigued. There's another thing.
Cool Cat
I don't know if this even qualifies as a dire warning, but it's just. Every Schmeiderberg pretzel that's been shipped to the United States is poisoned.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Every.
Cool Cat
Yeah, poisoned by my previous salt woman.
Jason Mantzoukas
The. The one who's a machine now.
Cool Cat
Yeah. From what I understand, she was upset about being turned into to a machine.
Scott Aukerman
So this is all pretty recent.
Cool Cat
Yeah, this is recent stuff.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Cool Cat
Yeah. These pretzels are currently on their way to the United States.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you beat them here?
Cool Cat
I beat them here. I took the con.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, so this is a warning? This is a. This is a dire warning.
Cool Cat
I don't know how dire it is, you know, because I don't know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why don't you stop the. The boat or whatever it's on from coming in, rather than just announcing on a. On a podcast.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
If they are coming on boats, I do think that Hot Dog and Cool Cat could be a first line of defense.
Cool Cat
I'm not working with this guy. Forget about it. He's trying to get rock and roll.
Jason Mantzoukas
You and Cool Cat Hot Dog need to partner up and stop this boat from poisoning America.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
It's up to you. You're our first line of defense.
Cool Cat
Me on water skis and him surfing?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that's right. What's so bad about that?
Cool Cat
Put him on water skis.
Scott Aukerman
Don't do Goofy Cat. Stick to your principles.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hey, dude, rock a pal. What's your name? Stay out of this, bro. You want to be poisoned?
Scott Aukerman
Maybe I do. How do you know?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow. I mean, I'm gonna get out of here.
Scott Aukerman
I've never eaten a pretzel in my life, but. So maybe I have no skin in the game.
Jason Mantzoukas
You've never eaten one pretzel?
Scott Aukerman
Nope. And I wear that as a badge of honor.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, you are wearing, like, a pretzel with a Ghostbusters circle around.
Scott Aukerman
No pretzels for this guy.
Cool Cat
Well, as you can see, I am wearing a vest full of pockets of pretzels all up and down it.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is like a John Popper style.
Cool Cat
Vest, but I don't know who that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Pretzels?
Cool Cat
Yeah, it's all different pretzels in my vest. I can give you one.
Scott Aukerman
Stay away from me. I don't want a pretzel now at this late date. I just turned 50.
Cool Cat
It's never too late to get into pretzels.
Scott Aukerman
Wait, sing that again.
Cool Cat
It's never Too late to get into pretzels.
Scott Aukerman
One more time.
Cool Cat
Time definitely to get into pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, August.
Cool Cat
Yeah?
Scott Aukerman
Would you ever consider a change of career?
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God.
Cool Cat
What kind of a career you talking about? Salt Inspector 4 or something else?
Scott Aukerman
The members of Rockapella are dropping like flies.
Cool Cat
Oh, man.
Scott Aukerman
We need to re. We need to buttress up our ranks. Could you come in and be one of the members of Rockapella?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Hot dog looks so sad.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, at this point, David Sticks is the only deceased member of Rockapella.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you think flies drop?
Scott Aukerman
Never heard of the domino effect?
Jason Mantzoukas
Sure, but it hasn't occurred yet.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Once one of them goes the one, the other ones are. They're just.
Jason Mantzoukas
When you say dropping like flies, you mean one fly is dead?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. I mean, don't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I agree.
Scott Aukerman
He dropped like a fly.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All right.
Jason Mantzoukas
All right. Yeah.
Cool Cat
He was perched on a curtain and fell off.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, I. I didn't hear that.
Scott Aukerman
He stayed there dead for a while.
Jason Mantzoukas
While.
Scott Aukerman
Eventually fell off. Right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He didn't move for a while.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, okay, I. I misunderstood. I'm sorry. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead.
Cool Cat
What do you mean? Why are you offering August Le. The place in the bed when I.
Scott Aukerman
Want to be the be. I've never heard you sing Cool Cat.
Cool Cat
It's never too late to get into practice.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no. Now I'm worried about the introduction even.
Jason Mantzoukas
Have you heard of Caterwauling?
Scott Aukerman
That's really not cool, man.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's what.
Cool Cat
It's not a cool thing to say to a cat.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's based on cats.
Scott Aukerman
Watch this now. Oh, where am I?
Jason Mantzoukas
I said, cat.
Scott Aukerman
What am I doing here?
Jason Mantzoukas
And Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Scott Aukerman
Hello.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, my God. Al Dubs. What's up?
Scott Aukerman
Jason Manchukis.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Great to see you.
Scott Aukerman
Who are these people?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, now this is going to take a. Yes. Hot dog is here.
Scott Aukerman
August Lynn.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. Cool cat. Have you met.
Scott Aukerman
I haven't met this gigantic.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can you see his butthole?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, God, of course I have.
Jason Mantzoukas
I know that's very important.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is a meeting that is significant for you.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is Mason Clodge as well.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yes. Sorry.
Scott Aukerman
Hi. Hello, little boy.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And Ernie Ross.
Scott Aukerman
Hey. Nice to meet you. I'm also a musician.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Scott Aukerman
I'll take your word for it.
Jason Mantzoukas
He's in Rockapella.
Scott Aukerman
Rockapella, yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Are you a fan of Rockapella?
Scott Aukerman
Well, of course I am. Sorry. It's quite all right. A lot of people ignore us at first. Not high. I love Rockabella. Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
I never took you for as a fan. Of. Of Rockefeller.
Scott Aukerman
You never asked. Yeah, but.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right, I never have asked you that. No, I should ask every guest.
Scott Aukerman
No one has ever asked me.
Cool Cat
I am also a member of Rockefeller, so. Andrew Lloyd's.
Jason Mantzoukas
What?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, that's so.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, the offer wasn't just.
Cool Cat
This was my way of accepting the invitation.
Scott Aukerman
Well, congratulations.
Cool Cat
Thank you very much. I'm going for it. Man. You only lived one time to run the planet.
Scott Aukerman
It's so true. Unless you're Her Majesty's servant. James Bond.
Cool Cat
Oh, he lives. The two times he lives.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, twice. Cats as well.
Cool Cat
That's amazing. I do not get nine lives.
Jason Mantzoukas
You don't get nine lives?
Cool Cat
Oh, man.
Jason Mantzoukas
How many do you get?
Cool Cat
I'm just a fucking one, man. I gotta make the most of it.
Scott Aukerman
I feel as if I'm in the presence of a divine figure.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow.
Scott Aukerman
Now, you know, I have written a musical that features anthropomorphic cats. And yet here you are, the real article. 10ft tall.
Cool Cat
Yeah, I got a beef with you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, no.
Scott Aukerman
Watch this now.
Jason Mantzoukas
Uh. Oh. What's happening? Cool cat.
Cool Cat
I auditioned for that show.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow.
Cool Cat
I auditioned for the touring show. I auditioned for the revival in the West End. I auditioned for the movie. I didn't even get a fucking call back one time.
Scott Aukerman
Well, I'm not in charge of the sort of the casting, you see. I maybe make final decisions, but in.
Jason Mantzoukas
The early stages, final audition, that is being in charge. But I mean.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I'm not there at the preliminary casting, you see.
Cool Cat
Well, I'm going to fucking audition right now. Now. Me.
Jason Mantzoukas
All alone.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is beautiful.
Scott Aukerman
What will become of.
Cool Cat
I.
Jason Mantzoukas
He's. Don't make him mad. He's 10ft tall. He's towering above you right now.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And he is our is. He is our nation's first line of defense against poison pretzels that are coming from Germany. Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Your nation.
Jason Mantzoukas
Although I.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Although you are here.
Jason Mantzoukas
You love pretzels.
Scott Aukerman
Do love pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
August. Are the pretzels going to England by any chance?
Cool Cat
Well, yeah, if they don't get all eaten up in America. First America, then over to England.
Scott Aukerman
What are you saying?
Cool Cat
What?
Scott Aukerman
That. That King Charles is himself is eating leftover pretzels?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I believe they from the holidays.
Cool Cat
Yes. That's always been the course of action that the pretzels are shipped from Dusseldorf to New York and then to London. The devil you say.
Jason Mantzoukas
So King Charles is in peril right now.
Scott Aukerman
He's in grave danger.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You need to get him to a safe place.
Jason Mantzoukas
So what. What needs to happen as far as I'm concerned is you need to give this.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who's the you?
Jason Mantzoukas
Andrew Lloyd Webber. You need to give Cool Cat a call back and cast him in something in order to placate him so that he'll be the first line of defense along with Hot Dog, so that these pretzels never reach America. And then with sloppy seconds, to England.
Scott Aukerman
Cool Cat, I like your energy.
Cool Cat
Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
You've impressed me here today. Your interpretation of the song Memory was bold and new.
Jason Mantzoukas
Thank you very much.
Scott Aukerman
We'd like to bring you back to see how well you can move.
Cool Cat
Well, I move like a cat.
Scott Aukerman
Well, but that's. We'll have to have you meet with the choreographer and we'll see. Wait a minute.
Cool Cat
Is this a callback?
Scott Aukerman
It is.
Cool Cat
That's all I wanted.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Cool Cat
Cool Cat gets the callback.
Scott Aukerman
Will you please save His Majesty? Had all of Britain from these poison Britain.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is very exciting and I. I want to be, like, swept away in the excitement of this, but Hot Dog looks shattered.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hot Dog, he's.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's sat by and watched as two people here have been welcomed into Rockabella. And now Cool Cat is getting a second acting job in Cats.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, hold on a second.
Jason Mantzoukas
No one here, no one offered full catapla to introduce August Link is in.
Scott Aukerman
He did Rockefeller. That's it. Yeah, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's Case closed.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But I do think that. I think that Hot Dog would even be thrilled to introduce Sha. Now, let's be honest.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or to introduce Rockella.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah.
Cool Cat
Oh, I guess.
Scott Aukerman
Hot Dog, would you do us the very great honor of introducing us on the singles cruise? Not the Singles cruise Shop Memories, the B shot Memories, which is a single. Let's face.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, it is a single.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. There's a lot of.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're into those things. Yeah. You're probably single.
Cool Cat
That's right on, man. Can I introduce you as Shana.
Scott Aukerman
Let me have a quick band meeting. Hey, August, did you hear this proposal?
Cool Cat
Yeah, I heard that. I mean, it's a little weird. I think people are going to be confused.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Cool Cat
But I think, to be honest with you, they'll be pleasantly surprised because they'll hear Shannon, they'll go, and then Rockefeller will come out and they'll say, even better than what they were promised.
Scott Aukerman
Everybody hate Shannon. Also, what we could do is immediately upon introduction, say, I don't know who that was, but we're Rockefeller.
Cool Cat
Yeah. And then kick him off the boat.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Have him clapped in irons, thrown in.
Jason Mantzoukas
The brig tart and feathered birds.
Scott Aukerman
That's not the perfect, by the way, that's not fatal.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's a death sentence.
Scott Aukerman
All right, baby. To go.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All right.
Jason Mantzoukas
So what have we. What have we discussed?
Scott Aukerman
Our question on the table was, can.
Cool Cat
I introduce you as Shit Hot Dog?
Scott Aukerman
You can introduce us however you want.
Jason Mantzoukas
Holy. Now you're inspecting his wrists? Is this to size up the irons that you're gonna clap him in?
Scott Aukerman
No, I'm just into wrists.
Jason Mantzoukas
You're into wrists?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, man, everybody's got their thing.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, I apologize. Well, this is great. So.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, wrist rock.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, come on.
Jason Mantzoukas
So look, I mean, a hot dog. You've gotten what you wanted. And Cool Cat, you've gotten what you want. Wanted.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
August, I believe you've gotten what you wanted.
Cool Cat
What did I ever want?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, I mean, you're. You're quitting your job, I guess, becoming.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
A recordings touring star to have a less miserable life.
Cool Cat
Yeah, right. I'm going to be the salt inspector for Rockefeller. Who knew?
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't think you're the salt. Wait, we gotta clear this up.
Scott Aukerman
You. You're welcome to inspect our salt, but I think.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think he wanted you to sing as part of the.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Cool Cat
Oh, I'll sing too.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, good.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, but we'll. You can expect any salt we happen to have.
Cool Cat
Okay, good. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Well. Seems like everybody got what they want but me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Mason, what did you want? Oh, man, we forgot about you.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Boy, that was really sad what happened.
Jason Mantzoukas
What do you want through the mouth of a child?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What? I don't think that's right. And the way you said it was definitely not right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Words come come forth that we realize through the mouth.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Words come forth that we realize we haven't been through Attention to you.
Scott Aukerman
Isn't it from the mouths of babes?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I don't think so.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, through the mouth of a child.
Scott Aukerman
Like. I don't know. I don't want much, I guess. I guess I just want to meet my real parents.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow. Wow. Do you know anything about them? Any. Any.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can you go into your mind palace and tell us what you see when you're in that crib?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, hold on a second.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is there a calendar on the wall?
Scott Aukerman
Okay, I'm back.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay. What?
Scott Aukerman
Essentially, I see a big mobile and I hear like. Like a nursery rhyme, but just a instrumental version.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So no singing whatsoever?
Scott Aukerman
No.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. So your parents are people who don't like singing?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah. That's interesting.
Scott Aukerman
And I saw a lady leaning over me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
And she was saying, you're my beautiful boy.
Cool Cat
That.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's probably your mother. Young child.
Scott Aukerman
Then I saw a big lizard knocking her out of the way.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you're remembering the night it all happens.
Scott Aukerman
I guess.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
And essentially the lizard says, I'm going to take you home now.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And that lizard is the father you've been speaking of? The. The. The. The lizard that's raised you on your father. Y.
Jason Mantzoukas
You remember any details about the room?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Where were you?
Jason Mantzoukas
Was there maybe a checkbook on the desk that had their names on it? Yes. Or.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I know you were in a crib, but could you read any. Any words?
Scott Aukerman
I remember seeing a checkbook.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can you read, like, what. Any of the recent. Like, is it. Were there carbon copies? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I can see the imprint of the previous check.
Jason Mantzoukas
Good, good.
Scott Aukerman
What did they say?
Jason Mantzoukas
What did they say?
Cool Cat
Ch.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Child through the mouth of a child.
Jason Mantzoukas
Through the mouth of a kid.
Scott Aukerman
The check says, Mr. And Mrs.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
David.
Scott Aukerman
Clodge, 1246 Elmhurst Drive, Denver, Colorado. I can't make out the rules.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, that's good enough.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, David, actually, we do need a zip code. Yeah, okay. Wow. Wow. Okay, so you didn't travel far. You were from Denver. This is interesting. And have just been moved underground.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is the zip code 80014?
Scott Aukerman
Wait, I mean, go back to my.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, good. Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Denver. Huge.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, so you got to keep your last name.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I guess so.
Jason Mantzoukas
So David Clodge is your. Is your father. Yeah.
Cool Cat
We could look him up and give him a call right now.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sure. In the 80014 zip code.
Cool Cat
Yeah. Okay.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, how many Clodges could be in the phone book?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah, sure.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, let's see. I'm reverse phone booking it here. David Clodge, Denver, 80014. I got a number right here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Great. Call it.
Cool Cat

Jason Mantzoukas
All right, here we go. Let's see. Calling. It's ringing.
Scott Aukerman
Hello?
Jason Mantzoukas
Hi, is David Clodge there?
Scott Aukerman
Who is this?
Jason Mantzoukas
This is Scott Aukerman. Comedy Bang Bang Podcast.
Scott Aukerman
That means nothing to me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Seriously. Serial. The. The podcast.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, podcast.
Jason Mantzoukas
Podcast, yes. Okay. Conan O'Brien.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, podcast.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Mark Marin, the podcast.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, yeah. Comedy Bang Bang.
Cool Cat
Oh, sorry, what is that?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Smartless.
Jason Mantzoukas
Smartless.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Smartless.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Dax.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're all podcast. They're all colleagues.
Cool Cat
Called her daddy podcast.
Jason Mantzoukas
All colleagues.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Comedy Bang Bang of mine.
Jason Mantzoukas
Comedy Bang Bang.
Scott Aukerman
I'll have to take your word for it.
Jason Mantzoukas
A niche podcast, maybe.
Scott Aukerman
Well, let me ask. Are you a prank podcast?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, no, we're not a.
Scott Aukerman
You've got a lot of nerve calling and using that.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, no, no, no. That's not what we're doing.
Jason Mantzoukas
We're not a crank anchor.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We are. This is an. We are in the rare position right now to be. This is Jason Manzoukas.
Jason Mantzoukas
To whom are we speaking, by the way? This is Jason Manzoukas from the league. Oh, he. He has a podcast as well, with J. Jonah Jameson in current Spider man books.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yep, Yep. What now? Now you should be confused. Now it is.
Jason Mantzoukas
Now we get.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Now we're confused.
Scott Aukerman
Right on schedule.
Jason Mantzoukas
We. We both have recently seen the documentary Dread Zeppelin. A song of Hope.
Scott Aukerman
Song of Hope, Yes. It's only an hour 26 minutes long.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
So. So you've.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
May I ask. May I ask, how old are you?
Scott Aukerman
I'm 55.
Jason Mantzoukas
Whom are we speaking? Is this David Clark Clodge?
Scott Aukerman
No, this is Lillian Clodge. David Clodge was my husband.
Jason Mantzoukas
Was.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Past tense.
Jason Mantzoukas
Are you divorced?
Scott Aukerman
I wish.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, you wish you were divorced?
Scott Aukerman
I'm a widow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, no, Mason, don't listen.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Jason Mantzoukas
What you say, don't listen, Mason.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, no, no, no. I wish we'd done this off. Mike.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. I'm so sorry that you're a widow. You wish you'd rather be divorced than. Than a widow?
Scott Aukerman
Because my husband would still be alive.
Jason Mantzoukas
But you'd hate him.
Scott Aukerman
Not necessarily. People split up for lots of reasons.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like what?
Scott Aukerman
Sometimes you just grow apart. You don't have to hate the other.
Jason Mantzoukas
Person, but usually you do, right?
Scott Aukerman
What is your problem?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
What are you up to, man?
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm just. I'm sorry, I. Can I ask you a question?
Scott Aukerman
I guess.
Jason Mantzoukas
A few years back, about 10 years years ago, did you have a child with a late child when you were 45?
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
A miracle baby with David?
Scott Aukerman
Yes, we did have a child.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, boy. And can I ask what may seem like an even stranger question than have you ever seen the Dread Zeppelin documentary?
Scott Aukerman
Which is perfectly normal question as far as I'm concerned.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right. We are over 50. Was your child abducted by. There's no other way to say this, but a lizard person?
Scott Aukerman
Yes. Oh, thank God.
Jason Mantzoukas
Thank God what?
Scott Aukerman
Thank God he was abducted.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah. It sounds like you might not have even known.
Scott Aukerman
Having a child was the worst decision we ever made.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Uhoh. Uhoh.
Jason Mantzoukas
Remember the lizard person knocked her out of the.
Scott Aukerman
It really drove a wedge between us.
Jason Mantzoukas
And so you almost got divorced.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Why don't you come over here, Mason?
Scott Aukerman
We did because we.
Jason Mantzoukas
Earmuff. All right.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's great. I just Want to hear that story? It's great to talk to you. See you. Bye.
Scott Aukerman
Was that my mom?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, no, that was.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No, that was some. It was someone else.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. I mean, it's weird how when you call people sometimes other people that you don't mean to call get on the phone.
Scott Aukerman
So I guess my mom and dad are still out there somewhere.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Well, I think what you should think.
Scott Aukerman
About, though not right here.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, alwe.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe somewhere else. There's a mom and dad who left me on a shell.
Jason Mantzoukas
Cool Cat. Are you gonna let him steal your.
Scott Aukerman
Thunder like this Are tall. Maybe they are short.
Jason Mantzoukas
I have to say, that was beautiful. That was gorgeous.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I am.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That like, genuinely brought a tear to my eye.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can I ask August and Cool Cat and Hot Dog, why are you wasting your time with these other bands?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Form a band.
Jason Mantzoukas
Form a super group right now.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
ALW. You produce it.
Cool Cat
Who's O? ALW.
Scott Aukerman
I've got € signs in my eyes.
Jason Mantzoukas
That weird little symbol.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, I'm still on the Euro. Do tell anyone.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Brexit means nothing to you.
Scott Aukerman
The pound is through the floor.
Cool Cat
You're saying we put together a super group with awls.
Scott Aukerman
I would produce. I'd be like the. For lack of a better term, the Lou Perlman of this group.
Jason Mantzoukas
There's gotta be a panel.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Simon Powell is a him.
Scott Aukerman
Another.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, boy.
Cool Cat
Oh, there's got to be someone better. And Cool Cat and Hot Dog. And that's everybody. And forget all about Rockella and Mason.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, they are dropping like flies. So maybe this is the time to step away gracefully before everybody's dead.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Ernie Rock is going to step away from Rockella.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, wow. And join this new super group.
Scott Aukerman
Look, I've been tired of singing the same one song over and over again.
Jason Mantzoukas
About Carmen sand for a million years. Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is. This could be massive.
Cool Cat
I think this is a great idea.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And this could be if. If it falls apart. If Ernie leaving Rockapella implodes. Rockapella. There could be a spot on the cruise. There could be a spot on the memory.
Scott Aukerman
I have. I do have one question.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah?
Scott Aukerman
What does Hot Dog do again?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Huh?
Cool Cat
Are you kidding me?
Jason Mantzoukas
Did that answer your question? Asked.
Scott Aukerman
Ed answered. I am most gratified.
Jason Mantzoukas
So I think, yeah, there's a great acapella group. And then who cares if Sean and our Acapella gets in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame? You guys will be there in 25 years. Oh, wow.
Cool Cat
25 years. All we have to do is record an album and that starts the clock. Who cares?
Jason Mantzoukas
By the Way.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Who cares about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame? It's a bullshit organization run by a ridiculous group of people. Why not instead have an honor that means something? Set some sort of goal that you can crush.
Cool Cat
You're right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Let's burn it down.
Cool Cat
Well, Jason's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Join with the lizard people and burn it down.
Cool Cat
Yeah, man.
Scott Aukerman
I gotta warn my Uncle Tim because he lives under there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wait. You guys are aligning yourselves with the lizard people?
Jason Mantzoukas
You're.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You're the artistic voice of the. Of the conquering lizard people.
Jason Mantzoukas
Are you gonna sing some songs exclusively tailored to lizard people?
Scott Aukerman
I'm open to doing that.
Jason Mantzoukas
With lyrics about lying on rocks and flicking out tongues and eating mice.
Scott Aukerman
I'm getting ideas. Oh, an entire musical based around lizards?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I mean, this is riding your wheelhouse.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Cool Cat
I'm sorry to throw a wrench in the works, but I've got a call back for Cats and if I get the gig, I'm doing it.
Scott Aukerman
But cool cat. Do you see? We could work together in this new venture. Something original. Something where you'd have a creative part.
Cool Cat
Could I be a cat?
Scott Aukerman
I. I think you have to be.
Cool Cat
Okay.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
All right.
Jason Mantzoukas
But could you pretend to be a lizard?
Cool Cat
I can't pretend.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Nothing would excite me more than seeing a performance by a ten foot cat playing a five foot lizard.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
And you shall all wear tunics. Like the slee stack. The one smart slee stack from Land of the Lost.
Jason Mantzoukas
The one who could speak English relatively well. Enoch. Yes. Enoch. Of course.
Cool Cat
I wonder.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Of course. We're all over 50. We know these. We know Land of the Lost.
Scott Aukerman
Battle.
Jason Mantzoukas
Will and Holly on a routine expedition.
Scott Aukerman
World all about the rapids it through that tiny rock. It plunged them down 10,000ft below to.
Jason Mantzoukas
The Land of the Lost.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
We have something. Wasn't. Was there something that we were trying to protect the king from or something. I can't remember.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
No idea.
Jason Mantzoukas
No idea. But hey, this is a great new venture.
Cool Cat
I wonder if someday someone will make a 1 hour and 22 minute documentary about this band.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. Wow.
Scott Aukerman
I'll be 35 years old if we get into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow. Wouldn't that be exciting?
Jason Mantzoukas
You won't be the youngest member ever. I think Josh Klinghoffer perhaps was. Never mind. From the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Red Hots, baby.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. But wait.
Scott Aukerman
They were the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Oh, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, they are.
Scott Aukerman
Wow.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yep. You can go to Cleveland and see all their socks on display.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. Well, this is.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I love that you Have a goal, something to drive for.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, too bad there won't be a Rock and Roll hall of Fame that long.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that' but hey, you know, it's great to have goals. I love that. We are running out of time though, guys. We only have time for one final feature on the show that is of course a little something called plugs. Scotty O gives the vibe that he wears socks longer than he should. Man, are you good piss piggling. Just giggling. Plug back open. Where they at? Where they living in? Tell me the deeds, tell me the shows. And more importantly, can I see it at home? I'd say time to end, time to go. But Benny Schwa keeps it open at the end of the show. So please, little Scotty, give me some hugs. I mean, please, little Scotty, give me your plugs.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And don't give me a shrug because.
Jason Mantzoukas
I need some love so I can sleep just as snug as a bug in a rug. All right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Wow, that was great.
Jason Mantzoukas
That was Scotty Ox wear socks by cmo, which is spelled CMO if you're looking for them. And that was great, guys. What are we plugging? Jason Manzoukas. Obviously you're here to plug the movie Dread Zeppelin. A Song of Hope.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yep, A song of hope of on YouTube right now for free. For free.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'll plug, of course, the how did this get made podcast. We're going on tour this spring.
Jason Mantzoukas
Where are you going?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We are going to Austin. Denver. We're going to Denver. Mason will be in Denver, actually.
Scott Aukerman
Are you gonna go into the airport at all?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We'll be flying into the Denver airport and I believe we're performing two miles underground.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
This is the show my dad booked for me for my birthday.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That might be it. That might be it. Anyway, so we've got to show two. Two miles underground. Denver, of course. Mile high city. So that is three miles. Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or one mile above. Yes.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
So we are just one mile, one mile below.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yep.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
One mile below.
Cool Cat
Yep.
Scott Aukerman
We got it.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We figured it out.
Jason Mantzoukas
We figured it out. Finally.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yes. Middle aged men do math.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is like me trying to figure out the end of Deal or no Deal Island. Like, when should he take the case? Anyway, go ahead.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Denver, Boise, Seattle. Portland. San Francisco. Los Angeles.
Jason Mantzoukas
How do people get tickets for this?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I don't. Oh, no. How did this get made is my guess. Yeah, check it out. And then Invincible season three coming out.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or it's.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Maybe it's already out. I don't know what this date is right now.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's just a couple. Yeah, it's not out yet.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay, great. And then how come they don't have the narrator more in Invincible?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You know, that's a great question. I know that they were. I know that they loved the person who was the narrator and that there is nothing but great feelings for the narrator.
Scott Aukerman
It's really the best part.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
And you know that glass last year, they did a special episode that was just about Adam, Eve, and the origin story of that character. I do believe season three has an origin story for the narrator character.
Scott Aukerman
That's good.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
And I'm not sure if I'm able to say, but I'm joining the Invincible universe myself. I love this, but I don't know whether it's this season or the next season.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
When did you record it?
Jason Mantzoukas
Maybe four months ago.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Okay. That's the next.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the next season. Anyway, look for me.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Season four, baby.
Jason Mantzoukas
Look for me in five years.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
But I will say, the most exciting season thing to promote for me is, Scott, your comic book that you generously have written me into, Boy, is it exciting.
Jason Mantzoukas
Astonishing Spider Man. It's out right now. I believe we're up to issue 15, and you're coming back in a few more issues.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can't wait.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, why is he called Astonishing Spider Man? Aren't people used to him by now?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, I know he's been around 10 years or so in Marvel time.
Scott Aukerman
And I mean, yeah, New York City people would be like, oh, yeah, Spider Man.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would like Statue of Liberty over there. Spider man over there.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I would like to promote my Spider man book. Same old Spider Man. Oh, okay, Great.
Jason Mantzoukas
Fantastic August lint. Anything to plug.
Cool Cat
Yeah, but listen, just kind of a reverse plug. And please don't eat the pretzels.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's right.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
We've covered a lot.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, Yeah.
Cool Cat
I mean, an effort is going to be made, it sounds like, to stop the pretzels coming into the country.
Jason Mantzoukas
But I don't know. They got this ban going on. That's true.
Cool Cat
I don't really know. I don't.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
You know what's so interesting is this show. Show we have produced multiple bands and records from this episode. I know, because remember, we've also got the. The. The. The Phil Collins Shimmy Band.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah, That'll come out, too. Yeah. I hope they don't come out.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
That's another record that we have shepherded towards coming out. I hope.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you think that Phil Collins and Shimmy are going to sabotage this new band and put out their record on the same day? Like Taylor Swift does with other women.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
I didn't know that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Special. Special editions.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
Better take that back.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. Sorry, Swifty. Sorry. Mistake.
