Main Discussion

The Birth of "Pizza! Pizza!"

One of the central topics of the episode is the origin and impact of Little Caesars' iconic slogan "Pizza! Pizza!" Gino shares anecdotes about how the slogan was conceptualized to emphasize value, offering two pizzas for the price of one.

[52:07] Gino Lombardo: "When I told that story in the offices when I first started there, and they all laughed... they used it in their slogan, and it just caught on."

This strategy not only highlighted affordability but also built brand recognition, making the slogan memorable across the United States.

Mascot and Branding

Gino discusses the creation of the Little Caesars mascot, a caricature resembling himself, adorned with a toga-inspired design. The choice was both a nod to Roman emperors and a playful representation of the brand's fun-loving image.

[55:20] Gino Lombardo: "It's leaves. Yeah."

The mascot has become a staple in Little Caesars' advertising, reinforcing the brand's identity and connecting with customers on a humorous level.

Relationship with Eminem

An unexpected yet intriguing segment reveals Gino's playful claim of growing up alongside rapper Eminem, adding a layer of celebrity charm to his persona.

[51:25] Gino Lombardo: "He [Eminem] was still alive then... I'm too close to the Mathers."

While taken humorously, this claim adds a quirky dynamic to the conversation, aligning with the podcast's comedic nature.

Marketing Strategies Amid Economic Changes

Gino delves into how Little Caesars has remained resilient during economic downturns, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. By maintaining low prices and emphasizing value, the brand navigated challenges successfully.

[57:25] Gino Lombardo: "If everything's going up, we're going to go down... and just show people they're going to buy it regardless."

This strategy underscores the importance of adaptability and customer-centric approaches in marketing.

Future Plans and Innovations

Looking ahead, Gino hints at potential expansions and innovations in Little Caesars' offerings, including new pizza variants and promotional strategies to stay ahead in the competitive market.

[58:43] Gino Lombardo: "We might even add another pizza to the [slogan]... Pizza, pizza, exclamation point."

This playful take on the slogan reflects the brand's continuous effort to engage customers creatively.

[Lawton Getty]

Remember when everything opened back?

[Big Righteous]

Oh, it was so awesome.

[Lawton Getty]

Everything was actually.

[Big Righteous]

Politics were solved. Everything was good. The Middle east was cleaned up. We're ready to fucking rip.

[Lawton Getty]

The world was sanitary and spic and span.

[Big Righteous]

Yes. I don't say that anymore. My question.

[Lawton Getty]

Perhaps you're right.

[Big Righteous]

What is. So the levels are good. So let's just.

[Lawton Getty]

So the levels are good.

[Big Righteous]

Let's take that intro again. Now I'll record this one.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, okay. What did I do?

[Big Righteous]

I. Oh, God. I Thought it was all just Ipsum Lorem shit. Because it was boring as fuck.

[Lawton Getty]

It was boring. Okay.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. Saying it's repetitive. It's. You were being repetitive about being repetitive.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, sounds about right.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. You like the meta test extra well, we all know that. And I'm not talking about DM and Zuckerberg because I have a cc. Yes, Zuck, I'm done. Okay. I shut down my ig, my finster. I was sliding into his.

[Lawton Getty]

Really? He didn't just shut you down from messaging him, he wanted you.

[Big Righteous]

No, he shot. He was like, you know, you shouldn't even have an account really, because I guess I was like trying to sell like weird offline supplements and stuff like that.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, offline supplements?

[Big Righteous]

Well off. Like they were online, but they were off brand. Oh, yeah. I mean, me and a few meatheads from the Gold Gym on Newbridge Road in Belmore, which I guess is now Extreme Fitness, but it'll always be Gold's Gym to me. Me and a few freak meatheads, we got together and we started working on some supplements. And I think, I think you're gonna.

[Lawton Getty]

Really like working on some supplements.

[Big Righteous]

Designing supplements, mixing powder, a little bit of this. Did you know that the FDA does not cover supplements at all? So you can kind of do whatever the you want, make whatever claims you want.

[Lawton Getty]

So you just taking other supplements and mixing them together, Is that what it is?

[Big Righteous]

Oh, all kind, all kinds of. I.

[Lawton Getty]

You know, supplements.

[Big Righteous]

Supplements are non vitamins and minerals. They're just things that like your body already maybe makes and you add a little. So for example, we have jizact, J, apostrophe, Z A C T. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that.

[Lawton Getty]

I've seen that around.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it's already in stores. And jizz act is great. It's got its protein, it's creatine, it's Cialis and it's seminex. So it gives you long boners, big loads and then it helps repair muscle fibers. And with the creatine, it kind of can pump up the muscles using ATP.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, yeah, that seems like it would take care of all of my problems. That's.

[Big Righteous]

I know, because I know you're all in one. Like, I remember you had texted me, you have anything for low T and low loads. And you, of course, you got saying it's tough, my loads are too small. Because you know, the ladies, they're, they're always bitching about their guy's load size.

[Lawton Getty]

Of course size matters when it comes to loads.

[Big Righteous]

Hey, that's what they say it's the motion in the ocean. Yeah, right. It's the ocean itself. How much cubic volume are you bringing to the table? Course.

[Lawton Getty]

Of course.

[Big Righteous]

Gino, how many ounces? Of course. Do you know the seminex ads I'm talking about that are in the Papa.

[Lawton Getty]

Yes, I believe I've seen these. I don't. I'm not giving you away. My search history. But I have seen these.

[Big Righteous]

My search history is Alia Shawcat and. Can't think of any other cast members of the. John Rogers. That's not his name.

[Lawton Getty]

What.

[Big Righteous]

TV show. Search history.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, John Early. Of course.

[Big Righteous]

John Early. Yes. He's one of the.

[Lawton Getty]

He's. So you have a metatextual search history.

[Big Righteous]

I have.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, yeah, please.

[Big Righteous]

And. And Zuck. Leave me alone. I know you don't listen to this because you're too busy in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but fighting back are your bullies of your history. He's like, oh, Andrew Garfield, I got you in a triangle joke. Come on, Winklevoss twins. You try to French cuff me. You trying to Chinese finger cuff me?

[Lawton Getty]

So you think he wants to fight the actors who portrayed his nemeses?

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah, I guess. I mean, if he beats up Armie Hammer and Andrew Garfield, you know, that's going to be bad.

[Lawton Getty]

If those two end up dead or, I guess, three.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, if we. If Armie Hammer dies twice and Andrew Garfield dies once. Tick, tick, boom.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm saying, if I were Armie Hammer, here's what I would have done when all that thing sat in a little.

[Big Righteous]

Shelf in the fridge forever.

[Lawton Getty]

No, I would have said, hey, that's my twin brother. The guy, the cannibal one. That's my twin brother.

[Big Righteous]

That wasn't me. That's the other one.

[Lawton Getty]

That's the other guy.

[Big Righteous]

He's got.

[Lawton Getty]

You saw that movie, right?

[Big Righteous]

He's got blue, green eyes. I got green, blue eyes.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, exactly.

[Big Righteous]

Nice try.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm a twin.

[Big Righteous]

No, I think we should just trust the guy who was raised in Bermuda.

[Lawton Getty]

Jamaica.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I want to take you. I'm losing it here. I thought about my erection. I need another. I need to fuel up with some jizzack.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, pop some more of that jizzax.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, the jizz act is a powder. So it's a powder. I mix it in. But these pills. These pills are. These are. These are good.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay. What are these pills?

[Big Righteous]

They shut off. They shut off your perspiration.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, why would I want to do that? It seems like I want to get it out.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. A lot of people Want to sweat. But a lot of people don't want pit stains in certain situations. But I don't rec. If you take it for more than a day and a half, you can just die from not getting rid of any toxins.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, it seems to be like you want.

[Big Righteous]

34 hours is the maximum amount of time you could be on this.

[Lawton Getty]

Is it just perspiration or does it blocks all fluid. All fluid coming out. Okay.

[Big Righteous]

It's called retention X.

[Lawton Getty]

No, we need to get some of this stuff out of our body sometimes.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah. And sometimes we don't. Sometimes.

[Lawton Getty]

Retention X.

[Big Righteous]

Everything's kind of X to me. You know, I was inspired by the video game Generation X. The Aerosmith shooter from the arcades.

[Lawton Getty]

Wait, someone shot Aerosmith?

[Big Righteous]

No, you are Aerosmith.

[Lawton Getty]

You're Aerosmith shooting people.

[Big Righteous]

And you. And you're. You fire a machine gun. But then you also have discs, CDs that you can fire.

[Lawton Getty]

Why would you shoot the discs? Why wouldn't you just shoot the machine gun?

[Big Righteous]

Because the, you know, classic video game thing, one is just like your traditional bullet. And then the disc is kind of like your explosive.

[Lawton Getty]

But now you're supposed to be Steven Tyler or. Or Joe Perry in this.

[Big Righteous]

You are Joe Perry. I don't think you're Steven Tyler because there's no visible scarves floating around in.

[Lawton Getty]

Front of you, getting in the way of your.

[Big Righteous]

You keep getting. Shooting haphazardly as your fucking scarves are in your eyes. Jesus Christ.

[Lawton Getty]

Sing, woman.

[Big Righteous]

Sing for the year. That's a great impression that I. Thank you. Thank you.

[Lawton Getty]

I have heard many a Steven Tyler impression, and that one is one of the best.

[Big Righteous]

I know. I was in the Mask Singer for five years, and no one even knew really.

[Lawton Getty]

I was in the mask.

[Big Righteous]

You were in the mask? Yeah. Well, were you? Oh, I recognize you now. You were Cher's kid with the big.

[Lawton Getty]

I was his back. I did a lot of acting in the 90s and early 2000s. I was in the Office Hours franchise. Of course, as we know.

[Big Righteous]

We all know that you wrote Shark Tale, which is something I bring up every time.

[Lawton Getty]

I did it back with my back to Will Smith the entire time.

[Big Righteous]

Holy. That's a smart move.

[Lawton Getty]

I had to guess what.

[Big Righteous]

You make eye contact with that guy, he's maybe gonna sl.

[Lawton Getty]

He was swinging wildly the entire time. I was. I was surprised. The first time he got caught slapping was at the Oscars. I know because he would just.

[Big Righteous]

My man slapping for generations.

[Lawton Getty]

He would slap all of us whenever he walked into the. The recording booth.

[Big Righteous]

Man. Parents and writers just don't understand.

[Lawton Getty]

That's a good point. Gino, what is going on? Because you. I haven't seen you now for three months or so. Is that right?

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it's around then. I don't. I can't keep track. Time is a flat circle, like Russ Cole says. And for me, I've been. I Actually, some good news. I. I got added. I'm adding the star to the Long A. Gina Lombardo's star is being added to Long Island Walk of Fame. Okay.

[Lawton Getty]

The Long Island Walk of Fame. Let me guess who's on this. You have Billy Joel.

[Big Righteous]

Correct.

[Lawton Getty]

And he's the majority of it.

[Big Righteous]

He's the biggest star. No, they have Billy Joel and then they started just, you know, like, Alexa Joel got one. Christy Brinkley got one.

[Lawton Getty]

Do they make the star the size of the actual star? The person is.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, my star is super thin, and it's kind of hard to tell. And it's kind of in. It's right next to anything.

[Lawton Getty]

I didn't mean body type. I meant big of a star. You were.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, still. Mine's small next to Eddie Money's.

[Lawton Getty]

You know, Eddie Money.

[Big Righteous]

Eddie Money, Eddie Murphy, Jerry Seinfeld, Eric B. And Rakim. These guys are all on the Walk of Fame. Woodcliff Canal. Go down there to the nautical mile. I would, you know, keep your eye on your wallet and your purse when you go down there. But the stars are beautiful, and you're getting one.

[Lawton Getty]

This is incredible. Is this due to your appearances on this show or.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it's this show and then my own personal show that I did, the Gino Lombardo show. You can buy the [e-mail] and. Yeah, so I'm very. I'm very excited. The ceremony is going to be kind of Lindsay Lohan and Mary Jo Buttafuko are going to be giving me my. I'm going to cut the ribbon as they hold it.

[Lawton Getty]

So they. They're holding.

[Big Righteous]

They each hold two ends, two scissors each.

[Lawton Getty]

They have two.

[Big Righteous]

I have. You hold the ribbon, and I place the ribbon in between their two. And it cuts it into three pieces.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay. This seems very convoluted, but, I mean, it's a Long island way.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it's a Long island way. I get one piece of the ribbon and then a piece of the other. Two pieces of ribbons go to the two counties on Long Island. That's so Suffolk.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, of course. We all know those two counties.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, everyone knows. On Long island. Everyone knows all their differences. And if I Did hyper specific material about how in Suffolk be and how in Nassau be. Sorry. I've been watching a lot of Def Comedy Jam, so I'm ready to go.

[Lawton Getty]

Is that where Copland was set?

[Big Righteous]

No, Copland was set in New Jersey. You're actually technically allowed to live on Long island as an NYPD cop because it is in New York still.

[Lawton Getty]

I see. Okay, wonderful.

[Big Righteous]

You need an exemption.

[Lawton Getty]

You got very serious for that, by the way.

[Big Righteous]

I am very serious about the differences between New Jersey and Long Island. Okay.

[Lawton Getty]

I think you were more serious about the movie Coupling.

[Big Righteous]

I mean, are you kidding? Mangold? Sly, you deaf bastard. It's got Leota. It's got Keitel. Come on. Garage. It's got Garage. It's got what's his name? Superboy. Michael Rapaport, who's not used up any of his goodwill.

[Lawton Getty]

They call him Superboy.

[Big Righteous]

He's Superboy in the movie.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, in the movie. Okay, I thought you meant in real life.

[Big Righteous]

No, I don't think people are calling him at all in life real anymore. Except for that Howard Stern and the.

[Lawton Getty]

Knicks just saw him on an episode of E.R.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Very slowly from a chemical burn.

[Big Righteous]

Whoa. E.R. is back. Or rewatching.

[Lawton Getty]

It's not back. I was re watching it. Yes. I'm on a quest.

[Big Righteous]

And you're a big Michael Crichton fan because you're both tall freaks, right?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. All I care about are Crichtons.

[Big Righteous]

You have the full closet of it.

[Lawton Getty]

Closet. A lot of people, they go to the Criterion closet. I go to the Crichton closet. I just got Sphere.

[Big Righteous]

It's got Congo. It's got Jurassic Park Disclosure. Great, great movie. Can we talk about the representation of virtual reality and disclosure?

[Lawton Getty]

So good.

[Big Righteous]

When they go inside the file cabinet, it's just green lines.

[Lawton Getty]

Finally, when they finally do a movie about sexual harassment, we're turning it on its head. I know we've never seen any depiction of it beforehand, but we never spoke to it in a movie.

[Big Righteous]

But now, finally, it's men harassing the man. That's the first one they make is when it's like, well, actually, this happens to boys too. So many movies from our childhood were about like, well, I know I'm a bad dad and husband, but it's because my job is important. It's like, this is definitely a screenwriter. Straight up writing the subtext of their life. Like, honey, where are you? Get back here.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm writing, honey.

[Big Righteous]

I'm not dome from a development executive.

[Lawton Getty]

Who are we kidding? Writers don't have girlfriends.

[Big Righteous]

Writers can't get. Not like I can podcasting interns. I'm dripping it now with the star. I'm running through ass.

[Lawton Getty]

You're getting it all.

[Big Righteous]

I love it all. You know me pants.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, that's right. You're standing with your fists on your hips like Peter Pan, right?

[Big Righteous]

Yes, I'm standing like Peter Pan. I have goat legs on the way down. Like Pan.

[Lawton Getty]

Sure. Of course, it's a lot of cross panning and.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, and that's confusing because I'm. I'm going back and forth with my eyes. That's technically cross panning myself. Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, Gino, it's. It's. I mean, it's always wonderful to have you.

[Big Righteous]

It's so great to be here.

[Lawton Getty]

You're from the east coast. I represent the west coast.

[Big Righteous]

I'm from the south shore. You're from the Southern Cal.

[Lawton Getty]

You know, our styles, they may be different, but they mesh together. So.

[Big Righteous]

And in all honesty, we could probably do a couple of hours on the similarities between Orange county and Long Island.

[Lawton Getty]

I think, especially with Huntington beach the way it is.

[Big Righteous]

It's like an hour away from a very progressive city and maybe 50 years behind it somehow.

[Lawton Getty]

Don't get me started on Downey either.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, Downey. Okay. That's where, if he's from.

[Lawton Getty]

I ate lunch there the other day.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

It was a halfway point between me and a loved one.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, that's. Yeah. Is that where your mom dropped you off so your dad could pick you up and down?

[Lawton Getty]

Well, Gino, it's great to have you here on the show. I'm looking forward to talking to our guests. I had no idea you were going to be here.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, me neither. As a matter of fact, I kind of just woke up and I was. I. I don't know, some guy at the airport.

[Lawton Getty]

You woke up like this?

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, I woke up like this.

[Lawton Getty]

Wow.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay. You look great.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, thank you. I feel great. I got a great amount of sleep. I don't know, like, maybe 28 hours ago, I breathed in some guy's napkin at the airport, and then I woke up here. It was sick.

[Lawton Getty]

It sounds to me like you. You got chloroformed.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah. One who's like, smell my handkerchief. I was like, of course, stranger.

[Lawton Getty]

Wait, so you have no idea where you've been for 28 hours?

[Big Righteous]

I have no idea. I. I don't know if this is true, but according to Find My iPhone, I was sent to El Salvador briefly. Briefly. These guys, they're treating them like dog. Half the guys there were just Gay barbers. I don't know how they ended up there. We all have similar tattoos, right? Yeah. So everyone thinks it's like a gang tattoo.

[Lawton Getty]

I have scissors.

[Big Righteous]

I have scissors. Barbasol. I have. Have the Barbicide. The Barbicide blue juice that you can drink and it does not taste like cool water.

[Lawton Getty]

I think that's what I meant to say. What is Barbasol?

[Big Righteous]

The shaving cream that has dinosaurs in it.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Still works for. For. What am I trying to say? Barbers was a dentist.

[Big Righteous]

Dennis Barbers. Back in the day, you would go to one for everything. That's the thing.

[Lawton Getty]

Can you imagine? Like, why not make it one stop shopping. Make all your dentists actually have to give you a shave and everything. Like they're already. You're already lying down there.

[Big Righteous]

Just focus on the neck up. You just neck up.

[Lawton Getty]

Checkup. We call, please.

[Big Righteous]

Come on.

[Lawton Getty]

Can I go get a neck up checkup?

[Big Righteous]

Let me get that checkup from the neck up, son.

[Lawton Getty]

And you have to say it exactly like that.

[Big Righteous]

You don't have to, but it helps because it gives you a little air of authority.

[Lawton Getty]

Let our real doctors take care of everything from the neck down.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, doctors can do my pecker, my chest, my lower back. But I want a barber or dentist or a robin leech or a dentist. A bentist.

[Lawton Getty]

Yes.

[Big Righteous]

Are they like those are those flexible chicks that like put their legs behind their head and go Belgian oyster on you?

[Lawton Getty]

I don't know what you're talking about. That one. I don't know.

[Big Righteous]

Okay, well, I wouldn't Google it unless you want to be on a watch list.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, Gino, it's great to have you. We are.

[Big Righteous]

Is it?

[Lawton Getty]

It is.

[Big Righteous]

Okay, great. Well then let's start recording and then we can have this.

[Lawton Getty]

You haven't been recording?

[Big Righteous]

No, I just the levels. I've been keeping an eye on the levels and they seem great.

[Lawton Getty]

What good are the levels if you have been recording? Do you have a backup up?

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah, I got a backup.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Big Righteous]

Check up from the backup, baby.

[Lawton Getty]

Back up from the snack up.

[Big Righteous]

That's what I say when I eat ass.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay. All right, well, look, the show like this.

[Big Righteous]

Time for a little back snack, if you will. Okay, you turn around, he's on his back. Yeah, I don't want to tangle with you. Stroke nine little backpack.

[Lawton Getty]

We have our new T shirts out there. By the way. We have a neck. What was it?

[Big Righteous]

Neck back check up from the neck up. No neck back crack.

[Lawton Getty]

Let me get this exactly right, because I. I think I did kid Ass up, neck back. That's the way I like to snack. These are our new. And it's a picture of a seagull with. Eating a sandwich.

[Big Righteous]

Okay, Okay. I saw that and didn't understand it.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Anyway, these are in the. In the store now.

[Big Righteous]

What's the link to the store?

[Lawton Getty]

I have no idea.

[Big Righteous]

You gotta throw the plug out, right? It's in the show notes.

[Lawton Getty]

We could say it's got to be in the show notes, although I doubt it.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, go Premium. Go, Maximus. Go.

[Lawton Getty]

Of course. CBB World, everything we need. Yeah, we need to take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have an influencer is going to be here. We also have the head of market for Little Caesars.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, okay.

[Lawton Getty]

Are you a Little Caesars fan, Gino? I know you're perilously thin.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. If I mention I'm a Little Caesars fan on Long Island, I'll be stabbed by 13 guys named Brutus.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, no.

[Big Righteous]

Okay, careful.

[Lawton Getty]

You got to be careful.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, yeah. Because you got it. You got to like, local pizzas. You got to go to Bromolos or Gino's.

[Lawton Getty]

My namesake Ramolos or Gino's.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Or I want a Dino's.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

The thing about Little Caesars, though, is you get two pizzas. So you could eat both of those and gain a little weight. Because I'm worried about you, Gino.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, well, you know, don't stress about me, okay?

[Lawton Getty]

I'm too blessed to be stressed, Gino. You know that about me.

[Big Righteous]

I know you ate a. You ate like 12 communion crackers the whole time we've been sitting.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right.

[Big Righteous]

You're jamming them down. And you say whisper body of Christ yourself every time. But I don't think you mean the transubstantiation of the host. I think you mean if you eat enough of these, you'll have the body of Christ.

[Lawton Getty]

That's what I'm looking for.

[Big Righteous]

Go away.

[Lawton Getty]

All right. At this point, we do have to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have an influencer. We're going to have the head of marketing for Little Caesars, plus more Gino. What an incredible show this is.

[Big Righteous]

I'll be a little quieter as you guys come in in the beginning, but then I'll start to feel.

[Lawton Getty]

Just rise up. Back to normal level. I understand. When we come back, we'll have more of all of this. We'll be right back with more comedy. Bang, Bang.

[Big Righteous]

It's got to be it. It can't be more than 13, that I know for sure. So it's in there.

[Lawton Getty]

And when it. When it does become 13, let's just say it's 14.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, let's skip it. Just like a building. Like an elevator.

[Lawton Getty]

Are you superstitious at all, Gino?

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I'm very super. I'm like Stevie Wonder. Wonder. I'm very superstitious.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, it's hard, hard on Stevie Wonder. Of course. He, of course, was born without sight, you know. What? You didn't know this about Stevie Wonder?

[Big Righteous]

I thought he loved sunglasses, this guy.

[Lawton Getty]

I mean, he's a connoisseur, certainly, but.

[Big Righteous]

You know, a lot of people say Stevie Wonder can see.

[Lawton Getty]

I know we. Yeah, I made in the Between Two Ferns movie. There might have been a scene in there where we were considering throwing stuff at him to see if he could catch it, but it never came to pass. We need to get to our next guest. He is an influencer. That sounds very exciting. I want to talk all about their life, please. Welcome to the show Big Righteous.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow. Thanks, Scott. I'm so happy to be here. I gave Comedy Bang Bang five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Lawton Getty]

Whoa. That's a lot of big bang. I don't know what scale we're on, but that's a lot of big bang.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, it's the banger. Dang scale, of course.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, how many. How many bangs are possible to hear? Good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Five. You can only get five bangs.

[Big Righteous]

So he's got the best score you can have.

[Scott Aukerman]

You got the best score you can have. As far as bangs are concerned.

[Big Righteous]

This is.

[Lawton Getty]

This is awesome. This is a great day.

[Big Righteous]

And you already have two bangs in the title.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. We're seven bangs deep.

[Scott Aukerman]

A secret seventh bang.

[Lawton Getty]

Wow. This is Gino Lombardo. This is my intern.

[Big Righteous]

How's it going, Big Righteous. I can't tell if you're a grown up or a kid.

[Scott Aukerman]

Don't worry about it.

[Big Righteous]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

I love your radio show. I gave it four big bangs. Bang, Bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Big Righteous]

I'll take it. Four is good, man. That's 80%.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Anything above three and a half, I think is good, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't want to get half a bang. I don't know how to say it.

[Lawton Getty]

I guess bad.

[Scott Aukerman]

I Guess Bad.

[Big Righteous]

That's a little easier than the other two letters.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're right. You know what? Yes, you're right.

[Lawton Getty]

So, big Righteous, tell us about being an influencer. What do you influence? Whom do you influence? Where do you influence? Why do you influence? How do you influence. You know, the reporter questions?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, of course. So I. So I do this with my dad when it's my dad's weekend. And we. We. We're sort of known as the Kissies Boys. And we. We go to those grocery store. Kissies.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, I've heard of this place.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, they kiss everything in the store. They give it a little kiss. It's one of the owner's personal touches.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, we've had Albert Rowe, the owner.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've met Albert Rowe?

[Lawton Getty]

He's my hero. He's your hero?

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Lawton Getty]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

I give him five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Lawton Getty]

Maybe one more that.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I'm gonna start keeping track, so.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, yeah, Gino, that'll be your responsibility.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'll start keeping track.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, that's probably better. So. So what did you say about the Kissy's boys?

[Scott Aukerman]

We're the guy. Me and my dad are the Kissies Boys. And we went viral on. On the Internet. Do you have that, Scott?

[Lawton Getty]

I do have the Internet, yeah. We're logged in right now, in fact.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're logged in?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's amazing. Jacked.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Johnny Mnemonic style.

[Big Righteous]

Hold on, let me j.

[Lawton Getty]

So you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I.

[Lawton Getty]

Let me. Let me. Let me figure this out. You're. You have a father?

[Scott Aukerman]

I have a father. Big Bang bj.

[Lawton Getty]

Big Bang BJ is your father?

[Scott Aukerman]

It's his name. Big Bang bj.

[Lawton Getty]

Is that his Christian name or.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, that's our name on viral videos.

[Lawton Getty]

I see. So Big Bang bj.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Lawton Getty]

He fathered you. He sired you?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Lawton Getty]

And then at what point did you become a tandem duo act?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, when it was on, when it's my dad's weekends, we used to go to the store and to make things. Things fun, like an activity. Instead of just, you know, an errand, we start giving things ratings in the store.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, so which store is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is this the Kissy store?

[Big Righteous]

You.

[Lawton Getty]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Big Righteous]

Holy. I think he might be a grown up.

[Lawton Getty]

Sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no, I'm not allowed to swear, but at my dad's house I can. Oh, I miss my dad.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, I'm so sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

My parents got a divorce, Scott, so that's why I'm a little upset.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, that's. That's a real bummer. But you should just know that happens to a lot of people.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who?

[Lawton Getty]

Everyone.

[Big Righteous]

Divorced.

[Scott Aukerman]

Divorce.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. Have you ever seen the splash page of pornhub? Everything is step siblings now. They know. They know.

[Lawton Getty]

They have mermaid themed stuff on splash pages.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah, it's Daryl Hannah porn.

[Scott Aukerman]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Big Righteous]

I give it. I gave it two bangs.

[Lawton Getty]

So you. I'm sorry your parents are getting a divorce.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's okay. I give it five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Big Righteous]

That was five with how sad it made you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or it's. I'm sad because it's the dissolving of a family. But they're happier separate.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, that. Well, I mean, a lot of people would say that. I mean, divorce is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it.

[Scott Aukerman]

They were both like that Nicole Kidman.

[Big Righteous]

Picture, Eyes Wide Shut.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, when she's leaving the courthouse after her divorce.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, you mean a photo. You're not using the term picture like an old timey Hollywood.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. You're not like variety slang, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

No.

[Big Righteous]

Hell of a picture.

[Lawton Getty]

Yes. You like the Nicole Kidman top liner that made boffo bo.

[Scott Aukerman]

I call them vehicles.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, great. There's a. There's a certain picture of her leaving a courthouse after a divorce. Why have I never seen this?

[Scott Aukerman]

She.

[Big Righteous]

You. You.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think it's false.

[Big Righteous]

I think it's falsely attributed to her leaving a courthouse, but it's been used for that.

[Scott Aukerman]

She looks like she's having a great day.

[Lawton Getty]

She's like, I'm looking at Nicole Kidman leave, leaving, divorce. And yeah, I'm seeing. I mean, what could be an older picture of Nicole Kidman and she like.

[Big Righteous]

Arms up, cheering, and she's got like weird green capris on, like she's at elementary school.

[Lawton Getty]

Doesn't seem possible that it's her, but I mean, it. It very well could be after signing the divorce papers from Tom Cruise.

[Scott Aukerman]

TC himself. I give Tom Cruise five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I love all his films and his vehicles.

[Big Righteous]

Dude's got a couple of motorcycles. That's a couple of cars and probably a chopper.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't like how he treats them. I give them four big dangs. Dang, dang, dang, dang.

[Lawton Getty]

Do you think he's ever driven a Toyota Toyota?

[Big Righteous]

Tom?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, Tom in a Toyota.

[Big Righteous]

Toyota Tom.

[Lawton Getty]

TC in a tc. Toyota Corolla.

[Big Righteous]

Camry. No way. Camry, but Corolla possibly Corolla, absolutely.

[Scott Aukerman]

The ace man.

[Big Righteous]

Adam Corolla definitely drove a Toyota. Cam.

[Lawton Getty]

You think when he gets out he just points at the Car goes.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's fine.

[Lawton Getty]

That's a pretty good impression, too. Have you ever heard anyone do what's his name? Steven Tyler?

[Scott Aukerman]

I. I don't think I have. Let me hit us with that one more time.

[Lawton Getty]

Eat that, Rich.

[Big Righteous]

It's the only one thing the really good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, Scott, wait. I think you accidentally pressed play on an MP3.

[Big Righteous]

Did you just play Get a Grip that everyone's favorite Aerosmith album?

[Lawton Getty]

So. Yeah. So I see. So your. Your parents are getting a divorce. I see.

[Gino Lombardo]

I see.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you hip to my whole deal, man?

[Big Righteous]

I see. TC so your.

[Lawton Getty]

Your parents are getting a divorce, but your father and you decide to go into Kissy's stores.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

And start rating all of the items.

[Big Righteous]

But they're not doing the kissing.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no, no. You're actually not allowed to do the kissing of any of the items in the store. That's one of the rules of the store.

[Lawton Getty]

You've gotten very serious.

[Scott Aukerman]

We know. Because I follow the rules of the store. We don't want to. We have a really good relationship with the. The flagship store Kisses in Downey, California, and we do not.

[Big Righteous]

Downey.

[Scott Aukerman]

We don't want to mess up our relationship with that store.

[Big Righteous]

Scott, is that where you had lunch with a loved one?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, I went to Kissy's, I believe. I don't think I've ever asked Albert Rowe whether he kisses the items as they leave the store or as he puts them on the shelf.

[Scott Aukerman]

He says you ask him that every time.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, maybe I don't remember the answer. Have you ever thought about that?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, maybe it's because the answer. Not that memorable. He, I. He. I believe he kisses them. He kisses them and then puts them on the shelf one at a time.

[Lawton Getty]

I see.

[Big Righteous]

Now, if you purchase a good from Kissies and you get it out into your car and it's yours, can you kiss it then?

[Scott Aukerman]

That's your business and God's business.

[Lawton Getty]

This. So for those of you who. Who have not heard an episode with Albert Row, it's a very unique, which is pretty possible particular store. He. Albert Ro. Also happens to be Jeff Bezos's son.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, he's Jeff Bezos's son. But that's like. It's kind of like not his really his main thing. Although he did go to the bottom of the ocean before all those guys started to do that.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. But it seemed unexpected when it came up.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was pretty shocking when it became the news.

[Lawton Getty]

But in any case, we're not talking to Albert right now.

[Scott Aukerman]

I go into.

[Lawton Getty]

We're talking about big, righteous.

[Scott Aukerman]

Put some respect on my name.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, that's right.

[Big Righteous]

What's your dad's name again? Big Bang bj.

[Scott Aukerman]

Big Bang bj. You got it.

[Lawton Getty]

Does he influence without you, or are you exclusively a team? Does that make sense?

[Scott Aukerman]

He tries to do it by himself, but he's tried a bunch of different things. Before I came into the picture, he tried to be a professional wrestler. He tried to sell, like, a muscle milk or something.

[Big Righteous]

And then luckily enough, he had a wonderful kid who's as charismatic as you are. And then he was able to hoist his dreams on you.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. And it doesn't matter whether I like.

[Lawton Getty]

Doing it or not. Do you not like doing it? Because I. I'm not a big fan of children monetizing their childhoods, you know. Well, you should be allowed to just be a kid enjoying things and rating things for fun, not putting it out on the Internet.

[Scott Aukerman]

I rate my own stuff for fun. Not all of it makes it to the videos.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, you know, like, what are you rating these days?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you know, I rated Comedy Bang Bang. That's why I would not.

[Lawton Getty]

That's making it to air, though, on this show. I'm monetized.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, but that's for here. I wouldn't do that on. I wouldn't do on my channel.

[Lawton Getty]

Is the show not big enough or.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, the show's not big enough.

[Big Righteous]

It's not as. It's not as big as the loaf of whole wheat bread that you guys rated from kids because that video got 3.6 billion views.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was. It was. It's now the most watched Instagram reel of all time. Of all time. And that's just reals.

[Big Righteous]

Whoa.

[Scott Aukerman]

They might bring back Vine.

[Big Righteous]

It beat out. Charlie bit me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Charlie.

[Lawton Getty]

Who's. Charlie bit me.

[Scott Aukerman]

The little boy that. He bit the. He bit the finger.

[Lawton Getty]

Finger. I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't know? Charlie bit my finger.

[Lawton Getty]

I don't. I don't tend to watch Internet videos and no. No disrespect, but I feel like they're a waste of time, I gotta say.

[Scott Aukerman]

You say no disrespect. You say it right to my face. Look me. My eyes.

[Lawton Getty]

But I don't respect you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't feel respected. I feel disrespectful.

[Lawton Getty]

You shouldn't. Because I don't actually respect.

[Big Righteous]

It's a generational thing, you understand? You do viral videos. He does, like, a medium that people listen to while doing other things.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you have to think about it at all this. This in this exact same way, whether it's a. A viral video, a podcast, a feature film, it's all under the umbrella of content.

[Big Righteous]

And that's a good point, bent kid. I was on this kid's side for a while.

[Lawton Getty]

I perform content that you can do your laundry while you do. I. I don't believe I could do my laundry while watching your videos.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, you can.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, I don't know. I would. I would put soap in the wrong hole or whatever.

[Big Righteous]

You're right.

[Scott Aukerman]

You couldn't.

[Big Righteous]

You got to be careful with that.

[Lawton Getty]

Your eyes lit up. Wrong hole.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, well, because this is the first time you've said it in a safer context rather than when we're just wrestling in your pool.

[Lawton Getty]

But no, no disrespect. I don't really enjoy anything that you do.

[Gino Lombardo]

Or.

[Lawton Getty]

Or really, that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's okay.

[Lawton Getty]

That's. Think that your life is worthwhile, but tell me, right?

[Big Righteous]

Just don't feel bad. He says the same thing about me and I work for him.

[Scott Aukerman]

That. Hey, you know what? That makes me feel a lot better. Gino, you know this so far. I gotta say, I think I gotta take a bangle way.

[Big Righteous]

What? You can undo bangs?

[Scott Aukerman]

If I give a dang, it counts as a negative bang.

[Big Righteous]

So four bangs. One thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

I might give one dang. Do you see this is going. I might give one dang.

[Big Righteous]

Do you give that as a full review? Because is a four bangs with no other word said is a four banger. But if you say four bangs, then one dang. What are you saying there?

[Scott Aukerman]

I might have to issue a sort of a notes app apology and redact another one.

[Lawton Getty]

One.

[Scott Aukerman]

Another one?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You saw my first one?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, I saw your first DJ Khaled. Look, I. This sounds like a conflict of interest.

[Scott Aukerman]

What, did he apologize for not eating?

[Lawton Getty]

No, he just had another one.

[Big Righteous]

Another one.

[Lawton Getty]

But. Well, I mean, this sounds like great, great, great bit of income for you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, we're making. We're making a lot of money doing this, and it's sad that you said we. What's that?

[Big Righteous]

Are you. Are you seeing a lot of the money?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Dad sharing the money with you.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, well, because you're head to toe in your own merch, and I don't like.

[Lawton Getty]

I know. And I'm worried that he's not buying you clothes. He's not buying you food.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no, no. I mean, he bought me. He bought me this. He bought me these clothes.

[Big Righteous]

Merch from your store?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Shopify.

[Lawton Getty]

He like not buying you clothes. That's. That's paying. You know, I'm sure he gets some of those for free. Those. Those look like the irregular sizes too.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, there's one long sleeve, one short sleeve.

[Scott Aukerman]

Both the arm holes are on one side. Yeah, that's really uncomfortable. Shirt to wear.

[Lawton Getty]

But you saw you.

[Big Righteous]

I saw you ride your bike up to the studio. Was very confusing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I thought this was just like a new shirt that they were trying out.

[Lawton Getty]

An F shirt instead of a T shirt. Got it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Got it. Loved it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. See, you can give them out too. Anyone can give out big.

[Lawton Getty]

Then why should we watch your videos if anyone. Anyone can?

[Scott Aukerman]

Because you don't know if it's guaranteed unless I do it.

[Lawton Getty]

Your voice got very low right now.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought you're trying to steal my action dog.

[Big Righteous]

Can. Can Jim Parsons give them out?

[Scott Aukerman]

Jim Parson Parsons is allowed to give him up out. But he's also. He's got to say bazinga.

[Big Righteous]

Okay.

[Lawton Getty]

He was grandfathered into the bangs, was he not?

[Scott Aukerman]

He was young Sheldon into it, actually.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, well, Grandfather Sheldon is coming this fall.

[Lawton Getty]

This is a good idea. Grandfather Sheldon. That's actually not that bad. Bazinga child. I'm a lucid child.

[Big Righteous]

I'm an old virgin.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm what they used to call a nerd.

[Big Righteous]

And now I've been conscripted into the water wars to fight on behalf of the liberal army.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think the concept of Waterworld gets three big bangs. Bang, bang, bang. It's not bad.

[Big Righteous]

It's a. The concept of it or the film?

[Scott Aukerman]

The concept of it.

[Lawton Getty]

The film.

[Big Righteous]

The idea of a water.

[Scott Aukerman]

The vehicle, not so good. But the idea they could do it again.

[Big Righteous]

I think it's a hell of a picture.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think it's primed for a reason. Reboot.

[Lawton Getty]

But in any case, I hope things work out for you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I hope so too. I think everything's gonna work out just fine. Dad said when he comes back from his vacation to Dubai that he was gonna get me a. A triple dipped. A triple dipped ice cream cone from Kisses. And I give those five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Lawton Getty]

I guess this begs the question, does he kiss the. The cones after they've been made or just. Does Albert just kiss the packaging? That of ice cream? Ooh.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, there was always a little bit of lip.

[Lawton Getty]

A lip sort of indentation.

[Scott Aukerman]

Indentation of the.

[Lawton Getty]

Of the swirl.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's all soft serve. Of course.

[Lawton Getty]

I think he's kissing it after he's kissing it.

[Big Righteous]

And it's soft serve. So he's kissing it once. It's on the cone.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Once it's on the cone, I guess we have other things to do. As a guy who runs a grocery.

[Scott Aukerman]

Store other than rank millions.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Dude has no.

[Big Righteous]

I think I saw one of your dad's videos. He's posting a lot from Dubai. He was doing a muscle car. Like, he was driving a supercar with, like, four women in hijabs.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's him. Yeah. He's on. He's on what he calls a. A Furious 7 vacation.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, that's trying to jump from tower to tower.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, he wants to do it. He said he's going to do it, and I think he's going to do it. I give. I give his vacation one big bang.

[Lawton Getty]

You're lonely.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sort of indifferent about the vacation, if I'm being honest.

[Lawton Getty]

Big righteous. I'm worried about you. You seem lonely. Your father. Father. It's kind of a deadbeat dad and is.

[Big Righteous]

It's your father's weekend and he's in Dubai, and so you're. You're just off on your own, like emancipation style. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

He said no kids allowed. And I couldn't stay at the kissy store by myself. They closed the shop at night like.

[Gino Lombardo]

A normal grocery store.

[Scott Aukerman]

In some ways, it's normal. And that's the thing that nobody. Everyone's really focused on the stuff that's weird about it, but it's also just.

[Big Righteous]

They have groceries.

[Scott Aukerman]

They have groceries.

[Lawton Getty]

It meets 99% of the criteria for. For a. A grocery store, does it not?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, the 1% is the weird stuff.

[Big Righteous]

Ralph goes around and fingers all his goods. I don't know what Vaughn does. That Dutch freak.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't want to know.

[Lawton Getty]

And the son of Albert.

[Scott Aukerman]

No son of mine.

[Lawton Getty]

Albertsons, though. Why isn't Albert Rowe Albert? Maybe he should have a kid and call it Albertson.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, that makes a lot more sense.

[Lawton Getty]

I feel like we want to build up his mythology more than yours. Is that a problem for you?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, it's not a problem for me at all. Because like I said, he's my hero and I love him dearly.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, man. I think you gotta have him back on.

[Lawton Getty]

We gotta get him back. Honestly, Big Righteous, you're kind of like, I'll give you three bangs.

[Scott Aukerman]

You gave me three bangs.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, I'll give you one slow, long bang.

[Lawton Getty]

But.

[Scott Aukerman]

But Albert Rowe, so far, I'm at four.

[Lawton Getty]

Albert Rowe gets five.

[Scott Aukerman]

You get five Big. You know, I can't disagree with you there. I think. I mean, if I can grow up and be half the man that he is. I be half a man, wouldn't I?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, just. I mean, just as a guest on this show, he gets a total five bangs. The guy who keeps repeating. I'm just naming out random guests. The guy who keeps repeating his day over and over again, he gets, like, four bangs. Okay, the guy who wants to.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's interesting, because you seem to like him more.

[Lawton Getty]

I do like him, but the guy who wants to be a mech, he's like a one. Bang.

[Scott Aukerman]

One. That's one. That's. That's. Actually. I would say that's like five dangs, if I'm being honest.

[Lawton Getty]

Sure. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

But I'm just naming random guests who have been on this show before.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's certainly a couple others you can think of, right?

[Lawton Getty]

Nope. But Big Righteous.

[Big Righteous]

Now, I don't understand your name. Big Righteous. I don't get it. What's righteous about what you do? Or, like, where does it come from? You're not even big, and you're smaller than your dad.

[Scott Aukerman]

No. Yeah, you're right.

[Big Righteous]

You both have big in your name. It's kind of weird.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, he's Big Bang bj, right?

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

My thing is, I'm little, but I'm also, like. I'm his big son. Son.

[Big Righteous]

Okay, so you're his little big son.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm his little big son. And I sort of like what's might.

[Big Righteous]

As well be big, little son.

[Lawton Getty]

I don't know what that is.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, I get it. Walking on the sun. It fit the cadence.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, just about kind of, in a way, it's not. Hey, this ain't off book. Okay. We can let it rip here. We can fire from the hip a little.

[Lawton Getty]

If you're looking for a good podcast to listen to, though, if you're in the middle of this one, going Big Righteous. Not for me. Head over to off book.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, there's like.

[Big Righteous]

You could have chose anyone to have been the triggering reason to switch podcasts, but you chose big, right?

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, maybe.

[Scott Aukerman]

Go. Go ahead and listen to episode 301.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, that's embarrassing. Knowing that is embarrassing.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, Big Righteous, you're kind of a.

[Scott Aukerman]

Dud, but kind of a dud. You're kind of a dud. I'm gonna give you a dad. Dang. Dang.

[Lawton Getty]

I'll take your day. I'm gonna give you a dang right back. I'm gonna give you two, in fact. Dang. Dang.

[Big Righteous]

Let go of him. Let go.

[Scott Aukerman]

He spanked me.

[Lawton Getty]

I danked you. I didn't spank you.

[Big Righteous]

I'M pretty sure he's a kid, but he has a mustache and visible pews.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Why'd you wear these two? I think the white very mesh shorts that you guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

And they're low rise.

[Lawton Getty]

You sell white low rise. Pre wet.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought we liked wet here. I thought this was like a whole wet.

[Lawton Getty]

It's not wet day here. That was. That was in April.

[Big Righteous]

Oh. I'm not allowed to talk about eating, but we can talk about wet all day long.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, look, Big Righteous, we have to take a break. You stick around though.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'll stick around.

[Lawton Getty]

Because maybe you'll be additive for the third segment.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who could say at this point?

[Big Righteous]

I got two guesses.

[Lawton Getty]

All right, when we come back, we're gonna have the. The head of marketing for Little Caesars. You a Little Caesars fan?

[Scott Aukerman]

Big Righteous Pizza Pizza. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang bang.

[Lawton Getty]

That could get up 10 bangs, I think for five per pizza. All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have more Geno, more Big Righteous, plus the head of marketing for Little Caesars. We'll be right back with more comedy Bang bang after this.

Comedy bang. Bang.

[Big Righteous]

Cut back to Scott talking here.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, thanks, Gino. Yeah, cut back to me. Comedy bang. Bang. Welcome back. We Gino Lombardo, of course.

[Big Righteous]

Bang.

[Lawton Getty]

He's saying bang. It's. It's addictive almost to say bang.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's fun to say.

[Lawton Getty]

It is.

[Big Righteous]

I'm going to be driving around pointing my finger at people screaming bang. All day long.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm sure that's the right thing to do.

[Scott Aukerman]

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

[Lawton Getty]

We also have big.

[Big Righteous]

I know I'm a pretty Italian looking.

[Lawton Getty]

But big, righteous, lonely little boy who decided to go on a podcast on his day off on his weekend where his dad was not in Dubai.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm in this sort of nebulous space. It's my dad's weekend. He's not here. I can't be at my mom's. It's not her weekend.

[Lawton Getty]

This is sort of like Schrodinger's big righteous.

[Scott Aukerman]

Where am I supposed to be?

[Big Righteous]

Scott is technically a dad.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's true. I'm at a dad's house. Do you want to go to kisses with me and rate some stuff?

[Lawton Getty]

I wouldn't mind going down to Downey again this week.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's so many things with a different loved one.

[Big Righteous]

With a hated one, arguably.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know if someone I don't.

[Lawton Getty]

Care for, I actively dislike a non plussed one.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've been nothing but nice.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, really? Didn't you give me a dang earlier?

[Big Righteous]

Wow, you were really offended by that.

[Lawton Getty]

I was offended. One thing, you took away a bang and you gave me a dang one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Dang. In 16 years. And look at you. Humiliating.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. This is our 17th year, by the way.

[Scott Aukerman]

17. Pardon my French.

[Big Righteous]

Holy bang, bang and drive.

[Lawton Getty]

All right, we need to get to our next guest.

[Big Righteous]

Please do it. It's all you.

[Lawton Getty]

Look, this is what I know about him. He is the head of marketing for Little Caesars and he's here right now. Please welcome to the show for the first time, Lawton Getty.

[Gino Lombardo]

Hey, Scott. Thanks for having me.

[Lawton Getty]

Hey, my pleasure. Lawton, this is Gino.

[Big Righteous]

Hi, Lawton. Nice to meet you. I'm Gino.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is Big Righteous Bang Bang. Nice to meet you.

[Gino Lombardo]

That was for me.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was just. Yeah, I don't know yet. All right.

[Lawton Getty]

Too off the top.

[Gino Lombardo]

Not great, but I'm doing great. I'm glad to be here.

[Lawton Getty]

Hey, it's great to have you.

[Gino Lombardo]

Business is booming. What can I say? So, Scott, you've been to one of our stores lately.

[Lawton Getty]

A business at Little Caesars?

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Righteous]

People go into them briefly.

[Gino Lombardo]

We have a. An innovative design in the store that was one of my ideas, which is three seats max, two facing the window, one a wall. And it's exclusive dining in there.

[Big Righteous]

It's one of my favorite places to eat. Well, thank you. I go to Little Caesars for lunch and then I. I eat in store at Edible Arrangements for dessert. Sure, sure.

[Gino Lombardo]

If you're still hungry. We try to fill you up though.

[Lawton Getty]

But you up for the whole day? Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's doable. And it's on a budget too.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. Yeah. It's a cheap pizza and you get a lot of it.

[Gino Lombardo]

You do. And when I say business is booming, anything that goes bad in this world, we are immune to it. Okay. We are recession proof.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. I mean, a lot of restaurants went under during COVID time.

[Gino Lombardo]

Over.

[Lawton Getty]

You went over?

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, over the top, into the green. We benefited a lot from it.

[Lawton Getty]

So now, how long have you been with the company, if you don't mind Latin?

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, a very long time. I'm actually some of the inspiration for how they got going. I'm from Detroit. Where they started.

[Lawton Getty]

They started in Detroit. I Didn't realize Little Caesars was Detroit style, people.

[Gino Lombardo]

You don't think I could be from Detroit?

[Lawton Getty]

I mean, I don't, I don't know.

[Gino Lombardo]

I grew up with Eminem.

[Lawton Getty]

You grew up with him?

[Gino Lombardo]

I can prove it.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Gino Lombardo]

You know, it's not actually as real name. Oh, Marshall Mathers.

[Lawton Getty]

Marshall Ma.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, this guy knows. Well, the real Marshall Mathers. Please stand up.

[Gino Lombardo]

So I can't be making it up if I know that that's okay.

[Lawton Getty]

So you grew up with Eminem, But I, I, I thought Little Caesars predated Eminem. Because quite honestly, I don't believe I've had Little Caesar since perhaps the late 80s, if not the early 90s. Before Marshall Mathers and Eminem were a concern.

[Big Righteous]

He was still alive then.

[Lawton Getty]

He was. He was alive. That's a good point.

[Gino Lombardo]

Is he a concern?

[Lawton Getty]

I, I mean, you know, before he was topping the charts, Scott would hate.

[Scott Aukerman]

To get dissed on a track.

[Big Righteous]

He was a concern to white parents in the 90s.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, yeah?

[Scott Aukerman]

What did he say?

[Lawton Getty]

You know, how he would diss NSYNC.

[Scott Aukerman]

Members and, I don't know, Spears, Kirkpatrick. You can get your ass kicked.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, it's.

[Big Righteous]

It's brutal.

[Lawton Getty]

A lot of our sacred cows he was taking aim at.

[Gino Lombardo]

I'm too close to the matter, so I can't say I'm blind to his disses because I grew up with them. I like him.

[Big Righteous]

He's too close to the Mathers.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Have you, did he ever talk about you on one of his records?

[Gino Lombardo]

No, because I made sure to stay on his good side.

[Lawton Getty]

How do, how does one do that with Eminem?

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, if you're nice to him, talk to him like a person, Scott. Then he treats you in kind.

[Lawton Getty]

I didn't know that. That's good to know.

[Gino Lombardo]

That's all you got to do.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Big Righteous]

Not why try that for once, why don't you try with Big righteous? Act like he's a. I mean, he's barely Big Righteous.

[Lawton Getty]

Big Righteous righteous is a total zero.

[Scott Aukerman]

What the.

[Lawton Getty]

Look at him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Scott.

[Lawton Getty]

I know you're a lonely little boy or lonely old man. I don't know which.

[Scott Aukerman]

I certainly am lonely.

[Lawton Getty]

I know you don't want to.

[Big Righteous]

Like Yoda or something.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, but, but look. Okay, so you, you've been working for Little Caesars for a while. They were what inspired them. I mean, the fact that they have two pizzas.

[Gino Lombardo]

What, what's, that's how they got the pizza pizzas. You know, it's as. The idea is that you're Getting two for the price of one, that was. That was my idea. Idea.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Gino Lombardo]

I started with them early on and I inspired one of their biggest things. As you know, in college, I was sort of a. I think I was kind of a popular guy and I would go into parties and stuff and I would, you know, introduce myself. People would be like, oh, yeah, you.

[Lawton Getty]

Would go to parties. You were so popular. You had to introduce yourself.

[Gino Lombardo]

That's how you. That's not how you go into a party.

[Big Righteous]

Well, I mean, normally you meet a few people and then they know you for the next party. I didn't make sense to me. Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

Trying to get to know people. I was a kind of a.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sounds like Scott's never been to a party before for.

[Lawton Getty]

Hey, you all right? I don't say that that often on this show, but Big Righteous, you do enough. You suck.

[Scott Aukerman]

What the heck?

[Big Righteous]

Dang.

[Scott Aukerman]

Dang.

[Lawton Getty]

So you would go to these parties lot. Now don't. Don't mind Big Righteous.

[Gino Lombardo]

I haven't been.

[Scott Aukerman]

I apologize.

[Lawton Getty]

On his behalf. I apologize.

[Gino Lombardo]

In fact, I'm great.

[Big Righteous]

Are you wearing a toga to these parties or other people have togas on now?

[Gino Lombardo]

Toga came later.

[Big Righteous]

Okay.

[Gino Lombardo]

Now that little drawing is inspired by me, though. That's supposed to be me.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I see it now. You got that huge nose and your is facing away from me.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's a caricature, but yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Well, I mean, you don't have. He has a huge nose. The drawing you have.

[Lawton Getty]

Very accurate. Like at all. It seems like a life two scale drawing.

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, you can see why it was popular in college.

[Lawton Getty]

You're very tiny. I have to say.

[Gino Lombardo]

I'm little. It was our. It was just going to be Caesar's before and then. Well, anyway, the. The party story. I go in and I introduce myself as anyone does at a party.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

And I was.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm Latin. Getty, you would say.

[Gino Lombardo]

I was. And people would be like, oh, look, this guy Lot and Getty, he's hot and ready. And they would say this, they would say that, and I assume complimentarily. And I told this story when I got hired at Caesars and they were like, that's it.

[Lawton Getty]

Hot and ready.

[Gino Lombardo]

Hot and ready.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. And so Lot and Getty, he's hot and ready.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, that's.

[Lawton Getty]

It became the. The tagline for.

[Gino Lombardo]

And I. I don't think they were making fun of me. For the record. I think it was a compliment. It was.

[Scott Aukerman]

They. What did they mean?

[Big Righteous]

It we hard. I. It's hard pressed to figure out how it's Complimentary, but also, to be fair, how it's offensive also. So it just kind of feels. It feels more sexual than anything.

[Gino Lombardo]

It feels like I took it as a sexual compliment.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. You're hot and ready.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Okay.

[Gino Lombardo]

And I told that story in the offices when I first started there, and they all laughed, you know, I assume in my favor with me, not at me. And then they used it in their slogan, and it just became. It caught on.

[Lawton Getty]

It caught on. Wow. And so. So this drawing of you.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Which seems mean spirited.

[Gino Lombardo]

I'm sensing that now I hadn't. Although.

[Lawton Getty]

Very accurate.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't wear the toga everywhere.

[Lawton Getty]

I. I guess what I mean to say when I say it's accurate and mean spirited is if I were to be drawing you, I would maybe like, you know, soften out some of your rough edges a little bit, try to make you a little more handsome, you know? But this is eerily accurate.

[Big Righteous]

Sells pizzas. I. Handsome little drawing. Might not sell pizzas. This guy's schn. And weird hair and tiny little body.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's almost no hair.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

And a little crown of leaves, I guess.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I always thought that was male pattern baldness. That makes a lot more sense. We're going with the full Julius.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's leaves. Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

I guess what I'm trying to say is it seems like they're making fun of you. Like, they're. They're calling the business Hot and Ready. They're saying Little Caesars. Talking about your height.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

They're. They're showing us how ugly you are by giving a very accurate representation of what you look like.

[Gino Lombardo]

I thought I was a step up the picture, but.

[Scott Aukerman]

So before you got hired, it was Caesars. And then they saw you and they thought you were so little that they had to change the name of the business to Little Caesars.

[Lawton Getty]

And then to make fun of you, you told a story about everyone making fun of you saying you were hot and ready at a party. And they. They. They named the. Or I guess they. They. They attributed that to the pizzas that your place sells.

[Gino Lombardo]

This all is correct. It's interesting. Sometimes you don't see a story from a perspective until it's pointed out to you that potentially this would. Was some sort of denigrating me as a person. I'm seeing that now. But, you know, I've got a good job. It's not like I want to get rid of it. I want to stay at the company.

[Lawton Getty]

What do you do? I mean, how much do they pay? Is it, it's a. They.

[Gino Lombardo]

They don't pay you well in pizza.

[Lawton Getty]

They pay you in pizzas. Yeah. Cheap ass, disgusting pizzas. No offense, Little Caesars. And if you want to be a sponsor, if you.

[Big Righteous]

All you eat is Little Caesar's pizza, then I take back you actually are very good looking then, because that's crazy. Because if you're living off Little Caesar's pizza, you look amazing.

[Gino Lombardo]

Thank you very much. And yeah, you know, the ingredients, we are. They're not great. We know that we keep the, the price low because. And we're going to make it lower just to be a kind of a big you to everything.

[Lawton Getty]

You're going to go the other way.

[Gino Lombardo]

The prices are going. Yeah. If everything's going up, we're going to go down.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

And just show people they're going to buy it regardless.

[Lawton Getty]

You know, it's not like your pizza is as disgusting as Domino's where they had to put out commercials talking about how disgusting it was.

[Gino Lombardo]

They changed their recipe publicly.

[Big Righteous]

The sauce is worse.

[Gino Lombardo]

They admitted it. We don't admit it. We just say you're gonna eat it regardless. So.

[Lawton Getty]

Right.

[Gino Lombardo]

We don't. We don't have to admit to anything. We're gonna make the price lower and maybe we'll even add another pizza to this. To the.

[Lawton Getty]

So you're gonna lower the prices so it'll be pizza, pizza, pizza.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, maybe we'll change the punctuation. Maybe. Pizza, question mark. Pizza, pizza, exclamation point.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it creeps.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's questioning it and then creeps up and then you explode it.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, I like this. I like this a lot.

[Gino Lombardo]

There's a big load for you.

[Big Righteous]

And finally, let me interest you in seminex stuffed crust.

[Gino Lombardo]

That'd be great.

[Lawton Getty]

But I do worry about you. Well, here's Latin Getty.

[Big Righteous]

Something I like about Latin Getty's theory here is if you make the pizza so shitty and so, so cheap, you're almost daring people to complain about it.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Because if they complain about, you know.

[Lawton Getty]

What you're in for, what do you expect?

[Gino Lombardo]

They basically didn't even pay money for it. So what do you. What did you want for it?

[Big Righteous]

What do you want, a refund? Here's a dollar back.

[Scott Aukerman]

The pizza was ready when you walked in, babe.

[Gino Lombardo]

It was ready before you knew you wanted it hot. And it's not cold and waiting. It's right now.

[Lawton Getty]

This is what people would say at the party. So it's Lot and Ghetti.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, that Would say that at the parties after I introduced myself.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Latin. Can I ask you something?

[Gino Lombardo]

I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you maybe thinking about, I don't know, having a brand ambassador in your commercials?

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, we have the little guy that's based on me. What else do we need?

[Scott Aukerman]

What about a different little guy? A different little big guy? I could give the pizzas, I don't know, a rating.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, you big.

[Lawton Getty]

Righteous has now fashioned his clothing into a toga style.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I wish I could get paid in pizzas. I just get paid in the clothes on my back.

[Lawton Getty]

Back.

[Gino Lombardo]

So many pubes.

[Big Righteous]

The f. Shirt is ready to tie around the shoulder, though. It's. It's. It's like three quarters of the way they had a toga.

[Lawton Getty]

I am worried about you. I mean, you're. You're not drawing a salary. It seems like they're making fun of you.

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, you know what? I'm not again. I hadn't realized that till this exact moment. The salary thing, I had an inkling of, you know, But I don't need much. I've got the toga on my back, a roof over my head with. What's ironic, I guess, is that I work for Little Caesars, but I live in an abandoned Pizza Hut.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, this is not good. You. You should.

[Gino Lombardo]

No, they're very roomy.

[Lawton Getty]

I mean, yeah, they have a.

[Gino Lombardo]

Have you ever been in one?

[Lawton Getty]

In. In an unabandoned one?

[Big Righteous]

The big red cups, The.

[Gino Lombardo]

The lamps, they're still left in the place. I use them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, those glass lamps. I give those five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Dang. I love 90s aesthetics.

[Lawton Getty]

But look, you should be paid in money. Money that you trade for rent for an apartment. Yeah, of course, we don't think you're gonna own, but, you know.

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, I've got a rent free place right now, and if anything goes bad, I'm gonna reach out to Marshall and make sure that he'll cover me.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, I mean, if you know Marshall and are such good friends with him, could you call him up or anything like that or.

[Gino Lombardo]

I probably could, but again, I'm living large right now. Now.

[Big Righteous]

Extra large, like Bigfoot. That was you guys, right? The Bigfoot pizza in the 90s? Or is it.

[Lawton Getty]

I don't remember.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, I remember having that at a sleepover party, and it changed my life when it arrived.

[Lawton Getty]

What are the characteristics of the Bigfoot?

[Big Righteous]

It's an enormous square pizza.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's very blurry.

[Big Righteous]

It's new. It's got its hog out. You can only eat it in The Pacific Northwest.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Now I want to say you're. You're kind of on. Was it Lawton Meester? What was your name again?

[Gino Lombardo]

Easy. Because it rhymes with hot and ready.

[Big Righteous]

Right? That's how I should remember it. Lot and ready. You're. You're on his case about.

[Lawton Getty]

So even you know it rhymes with hot and ready.

[Gino Lombardo]

I just, I. I'm realizing it now today. Today's big.

[Lawton Getty]

Thanks for coming on.

[Gino Lombardo]

I mean, I don't talk to a lot of people, so I'm saying a lot of things out loud and hearing them for the first time.

[Lawton Getty]

How did you get booked on this show? I mean.

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, I was delivering and I delivers pizzas. I'm realizing I might not be the head of marketing.

[Lawton Getty]

It doesn't seem like you are. It seems like to be fair, the.

[Big Righteous]

Only person who called you that so far has been Scott25.

[Lawton Getty]

That's true.

[Gino Lombardo]

It sounded great.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't think you're in like a dinner for schmucks situation, are you?

[Lawton Getty]

You know that popular, popular movie, Dinner for Schmuck?

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, yeah. I could. I. I'm a. I'm a corral head.

[Lawton Getty]

You've seen it all, right.

[Gino Lombardo]

I've seen enough.

[Lawton Getty]

Four Seasons.

[Gino Lombardo]

I get it. Yeah. His deal. I get it.

[Big Righteous]

We're on. We're on Hot and Ready's case over here a lot.

[Lawton Getty]

But yeah, you're.

[Big Righteous]

You're busting his balls about middle making money, but he is objectively the happiest person at this table.

[Lawton Getty]

That's a good point.

[Big Righteous]

All of us are way more depressed. I mean, I'm not depressed, but my life is twisted.

[Lawton Getty]

Me, I'm stuck at a dead end job for the past 16 years.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, 17.

[Scott Aukerman]

Me, I miss my dad.

[Lawton Getty]

I mean, we could learn a lot from you, I think.

[Gino Lombardo]

So this is the way to live. Like carefree, want. Not end of sentence.

[Lawton Getty]

Good, good. You should have a job writing aphorism. Sentence.

[Gino Lombardo]

You think what?

[Lawton Getty]

Not end of sentence?

[Gino Lombardo]

I could. I mean, I. I've been the head of marketing, so I suppose I could just slide into that kind of work too.

[Lawton Getty]

What did you want to do with your life, Lawton, when you. When you were growing up? I'm presuming a short little weirdo.

[Big Righteous]

Did you want to be in G Unit?

[Gino Lombardo]

I mean, that was.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or D12?

[Gino Lombardo]

The crew.

[Lawton Getty]

D12 is actually. I mean, you know, G unit is still sort of collective. Well, no, adjacent to him because of 50 cents.

[Big Righteous]

Right?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Being a protege of M M's as well.

[Gino Lombardo]

I. I didn't do anything big. I didn't dream big.

[Lawton Getty]

Thanks for jumping in and saving me on that, by the way. Just waited for me.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

White guys explain in D12.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

You were hanging yourself with your own rope, and I thought I'd step right in. I didn't need a lot as growing up. You know, my dad a. He was doing his own thing at the time, and much not unlike your situation.

[Lawton Getty]

What was your. What'd your dad do?

[Gino Lombardo]

He was my papa.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay.

[Gino Lombardo]

He was also in the business.

[Lawton Getty]

The pizza business.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah. I don't. You know.

[Lawton Getty]

His name's not John, is it?

[Gino Lombardo]

It is, yeah. Why? You know him personally?

[Lawton Getty]

No, I just. There's a different pizza chain called Papa John's. I don't know.

[Gino Lombardo]

It's. It's Papa John's. What's it called if it's his pizza? Red Baron?

[Lawton Getty]

I. I actually don't know.

[Big Righteous]

I think it's called Papa John.

[Lawton Getty]

I think it's called Papa.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, it's named after him.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, it's, like, got the apostrophe that, like, gives it the possessive.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's his pizza.

[Big Righteous]

Like Ruth's Chris, but less apostrophes than Ruth's Chris has. Ruth's Chris has more apostrophes than language from Pandora.

[Gino Lombardo]

Huh.

[Lawton Getty]

It's a good slam, right?

[Gino Lombardo]

Pretty good.

[Big Righteous]

Take that, Ruth or Chris.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, I don't know Latin. Getty. I. I feel sorry for you. Not as.

[Gino Lombardo]

You've said that a lot.

[Lawton Getty]

Not as much as I feel so sorry for Big Righteous.

[Big Righteous]

But, yeah, a lot of depressing guys on this one.

[Gino Lombardo]

But I'm not. I'm happy. So, again, maybe the happiest one here.

[Big Righteous]

That would say, I agree.

[Lawton Getty]

Gotta have more women on the show to just cheer it up a little bit. I mean, you got.

[Big Righteous]

Now you're reading the Reddit.

[Lawton Getty]

Just three losers here on the show.

[Gino Lombardo]

Are men inherently sadder?

[Lawton Getty]

I think so these days.

[Gino Lombardo]

These days, yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

They're being told that they can't be men anymore.

[Big Righteous]

I know. It sucks.

[Gino Lombardo]

All I know is, yeah, I can't say anything anymore.

[Scott Aukerman]

And it's not just me that's lonely. Only it's all men, apparently.

[Big Righteous]

It's an epidemic. We. We treat women like and then wonder why we're alone.

[Scott Aukerman]

I give the concept of men five big bangs. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Lawton Getty]

Wow.

[Big Righteous]

Hell, yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

That's. That's. See, that's what we need to make ourselves feel better here.

[Big Righteous]

As men, we should be male allies.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's not so many allies for men.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, Men need more places to hang out and be mentioned. Men.

[Big Righteous]

A flag that's just black and white stripes. Referee.

[Lawton Getty]

I like this idea.

[Big Righteous]

This boring flag.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, Lot and Getty. I, I, I'm afraid we're running out of time. Does that surprise you?

[Gino Lombardo]

It doesn't. I was just trying to think of an incel pizza. So how the wheels are turning?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, how's that thought process going?

[Gino Lombardo]

I'm feeling frustrated. I need to take out that anger on something, but I don't know.

[Lawton Getty]

But who knows?

[Gino Lombardo]

But I'm happy most of the time, so. Except when I'm reminded that men are not.

[Lawton Getty]

That's great. Well, we are running out of time, unfortunately. We? I just told you that.

[Big Righteous]

You asked if it came as a surprise. It didn't the first time.

[Lawton Getty]

It did the second time. I don't know. Figure where you are. But look, we are running.

[Big Righteous]

How much time do we have? Oh, what?

[Lawton Getty]

There's only time for one final feature on the show. That's of course a little something called Plug Bugs. All right, that was Plugs by Arsenio Corridor. Thanks to Arsenio Corridor. If you have a plug theme, head over to cbb world.com/plug.

[Big Righteous]

I like that pun a lot.

[Lawton Getty]

You liked it and uploaded. What are we plugging? Gino, do you have anything to plug?

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, you can listen to one episode of the Gino Lombardo show a month on the Maximus tier, I believe. Whatever. The top tier.

[Lawton Getty]

Dripping it out.

[Big Righteous]

You know we're dripping it out. Yeah. Because when it doesn't have its seminars.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

So it's just a little, a little drip drip. So you can get that there. And if you want all 30 episodes in a commemorative little cassette tape with some original art from a Long island artist, you can go to geno.gabris.com and buy a USB drive that has all 30 episodes.

[Lawton Getty]

Now is, is there another show? Because I know you like this comedian from Long Island.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, yeah, you're talking about Eddie Murphy.

[Lawton Getty]

No, I'm talking about John Gabris. Is there another podcast that.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, dude, yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

Maybe the reason that.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, no, I know. I was going to get to it. Don't you worry. I've been told. I got my marching orders. Yeah, there's this podcast. It stars John Gabris and Stars is a big word. Yeah, as a matter of fact, yeah. He co hosts a podcast and he's not even the the star. The real star is his co host. You might know him from champagne, ill or indebted. That's Adam Pally. TV's Adam Pal, TV's Adam Pally. No, he requests that as his title, but.

[Lawton Getty]

But I've heard that he feels he's a movie star and too big to do podcasts.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, he brings that up a lot. It's on this, on the few episodes I've watched so far. Listen to. Sorry, we're not. Actually, you know what? It is being filmed too. It's on YouTube. You can watch it on YouTube. It's called Staying Alive. Like the PG song.

[Lawton Getty]

And what is this all about?

[Big Righteous]

It's a health and wellness podcast from the unhealthy and the unwell. So John Gabris, you know, famous genius, kind of like a comics comic who's never really popped for some reason. Still young, still handsome, but, you know, he's figuring his life out.

[Gino Lombardo]

Sure.

[Big Righteous]

And then Adam Pally kind of has been movie actor and the two of those guys together host this and they have on both comedian friends and then also doctors and people luminaries in the health and wellness community.

[Lawton Getty]

And these guys are unhealthy and unwell, both physically and also in their heads.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, they're mentally unwell and physically unhealthy, for sure. Or either way, you want to say that, but yeah, they're not doing great. They're. And sexually, they're disgusting.

[Lawton Getty]

And they seem to bring out the worst in each other, don't they?

[Big Righteous]

Some people would say that. Some people would say that their partnership is going to be their undoing in the long term and that maybe they should just remain friends and not attach each other.

[Lawton Getty]

Some of the, the friends of either of these people have worried about. Maybe we need to export. Extricate them.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah. Because they used to have a show called 101 Places to Party before you die. They only got to eight places.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Big Righteous]

HBO, Max, or Max.com. they only got to eight places. So then they were like it, we need to flip the coin. We're dying soon. Yeah, let's get a podcast about staying alive.

[Lawton Getty]

All right. Well, this is, I mean, it sounds like a great show. And it's out right now.

[Big Righteous]

It's out right now. What do they say? Wherever you listen to your podcast.

[Lawton Getty]

That's right. And also YouTube. You can watch it.

[Big Righteous]

You can watch it. Yes, that's right. We. We are undercutting Union television by making full blown YouTube series.

[Lawton Getty]

And would you suggest people watching these guys, like, looking at them for this long?

[Big Righteous]

Well, I would say do whatever. However you prefer to engage with podcasts. But the hosts of Staying Alive are more traditionally attractive than most podcast hosts.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, you don't Say yeah, they're pretty.

[Big Righteous]

Fucking good looking guys. And not just like comedy good looking. Like actually good looking.

[Lawton Getty]

Should podcasters have their own calendar like firemen, do you think?

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, like Stavi, if you got the balls or the bod, however you want. Free or the the walls as we say for the ladies.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, balls to the walls.

[Big Righteous]

If you got the walls. Got blue walls. My wife's got blue walls. I gotta get home and tag her.

[Lawton Getty]

Well this sounds great. It's called staying alive.

[Big Righteous]

Staying alive. And we are. They are being sued by the Bee Gees right now.

[Lawton Getty]

So they're dealing with them. Yeah, yeah. That's a way to get famous.

[Big Righteous]

Oh yeah. Hey, I'll do whatever.

[Lawton Getty]

Big righteous. What do you plugging here?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I gotta plug my favorite comedians. Social media. He reposts all my videos. Matt Apadaka on all social media platforms. And then also his podcast Get Played where he talks about video games with Nick Weiger and Heather An Campbell and they're all so funny.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah, that's a, a great show. Right?

[Big Righteous]

That's a collection of very funny, very normal people.

[Scott Aukerman]

They're very normal and they have normal thoughts and they interact with people in a normal way.

[Big Righteous]

Yeah, famously.

[Lawton Getty]

Maybe there's a 1% that's weird about him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah. They like the eye contact, lasts for exactly how long you want it to.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. But 99% of the time they're normal.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, they, they'll, they won't drill down on something for too long.

[Big Righteous]

And I notice you're really hammering Nick and Heather. But I think all three of the hosts are fucking weird. Look, one of them gives too much eye contact, the third guy, and I can't tell if that guy's a grown up or a kid.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's making up for the lack of eye contact in the other direction.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, I get it now. Well, this sounds good and lot and getty. What are we. What are we want to plug?

[Gino Lombardo]

You know, speaking of walls, did you, you know that Sheena Easton song Sugar Walls?

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

I had no idea how filthy that was till I was grown up. Yeah, I listened to that many times and no idea how disgusting and depraved it is.

[Lawton Getty]

Prince wrote it.

[Gino Lombardo]

Prince wrote it.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, he's disgusting.

[Lawton Getty]

Filthy guy, isn't he?

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Famously a hornball.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, I'm gonna plug this is coming out. We don't know the date but the season finale of the show Ghosts is going to be on CBS this coming Thursday and then on Paramount plus the next day.

[Lawton Getty]

Well it'll up be out I think by the time this comes out, I would imagine.

[Gino Lombardo]

Well, it won't be then. It won't have been scrubbed from the Internet yet. So you can watch it.

[Lawton Getty]

You think it's going to be scrubbed?

[Gino Lombardo]

I don't think it's going to be scrubbed.

[Lawton Getty]

You don't think it will.

[Big Righteous]

But just in case this episode comes out before the season finale, there's probably some episodes that aired beforehand that people can catch.

[Gino Lombardo]

Can catch up on and they're all on Paramount. Plus, what's.

[Lawton Getty]

What's your stake in ghosts here? Like, why do you care about this show?

[Gino Lombardo]

Sitting in the back of the, you know, Little Caesars, we only get rabbit ear antennas, so it's. I can only watch one of the main four channels and that's the one I like. Like. I mean, yeah, it skews older, but not Ghosts.

[Lawton Getty]

Ghost is for all ages from 9 to 99.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good for that.

[Lawton Getty]

They make sex jokes that are too.

[Gino Lombardo]

They do.

[Big Righteous]

Too mature for 8 year olds. Can't watch it and 100 year olds would have heart attacks. 9 to 99 is the right move. I love that show, Ghosts. It's got some of my favorite people on it. Bsj. Bs. Betsy Shouldaro and Brandon Scott Jones for the non comedy.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Righteous]

Influenced.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. Oh, so many great people on that show.

[Big Righteous]

I can name almost all of them.

[Lawton Getty]

It's probably two.

[Gino Lombardo]

Keep going.

[Big Righteous]

I'm kind of tapped at this point. The Viking.

[Lawton Getty]

The Viking guy is.

[Gino Lombardo]

He changed his name.

[Lawton Getty]

They were gonna make like famous ghosts in there, you know, like Tupac or anything.

[Gino Lombardo]

They have. Well, they have to have died on the property so they. And they can't leave the property. So they have had Al Capone.

[Lawton Getty]

A lot about ghosts. Al Capone died on that property.

[Gino Lombardo]

They used him in a flash flashback.

[Lawton Getty]

Okay, interesting.

[Gino Lombardo]

There was a party there that he attended. Famous ghost. No, though.

[Big Righteous]

Alexander Hamilton.

[Gino Lombardo]

That. They've used him in a flashback as well.

[Lawton Getty]

A lot of owls. A lot of famous owls.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Weird Al.

[Lawton Getty]

Is he gonna die on that property?

[Gino Lombardo]

God.

[Big Righteous]

Fingers crossed. If all goes according to plan.

[Gino Lombardo]

One of the actors, John Hartman on there, his dad actually did suggest, why are there no children there? And I had to explain that would have been. We have to have to explain a child ghost and why it worked for Casper. It did. Yeah.

[Lawton Getty]

So he's not so dumb, is he?

[Gino Lombardo]

My dad. His dad.

[Lawton Getty]

His dad.

[Gino Lombardo]

My dad. No, my dad is a pizza John's.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah.

[Gino Lombardo]

I'm the owner of Red Baron right now. Yeah, the owner of Red Baron. Yeah. And you can also just check out at John L. Hartman.

[Lawton Getty]

Fantastic. I'm going to plug head over to cbbworld.com. this is where you get the aforementioned Gino show one a month as go intended. Oh, yeah, and we also have ad free episodes of Comedy Bang Bang. The entire archive. Every single episode we've ever done, as well as all of the live episodes. You have my movie show Scott hasn't seen. We finished up month. Month recently was where we did all movies that had months in the title.

[Big Righteous]

Ooh.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. It was incredible. Incredible month and just very satisfying for everyone involved. We also have College Town, the neighborhood. Listen, we have CBB Prince presents like, hey, hey, Randy. Yeah, we have who me with the Batman. We have Will I'm Heinz to prove you or something like that.

[Big Righteous]

Bill Walton.

[Lawton Getty]

Bill, yeah. Walton. We have this book, saved my life. So many great shows over there. If you're just listening to this show, you should go over there. And someone said to me the other day, you know, you should talk about how cheap it is, because I assumed it was, you know, 800, $900 for this? No, it's a fraction of of that, so.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, a fraction of $900. I'm in. Tell me no more information. I don't need a numerator or a denominator. I'm ready to rip.

[Lawton Getty]

No, it's. It's way cheaper than that. Head over to CBB World and get on the plans. All right, let's close up the old plug bag. Open the plug with me, dude. Open. Open the block back with me, dude.

[Gino Lombardo]

Just please don't close it and be rude.

[Lawton Getty]

Please don't close it and be rude. Please don't close. Did we use this one already on the 16th anniversary episode? Pretty sure we did. Anyway, that was Dub Me dude by Ross Brackett. If it wasn't that one, it was very similar.

[Gino Lombardo]

Having just listened to it, I think it was.

[Scott Aukerman]

I give it five big bangs. Bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang.

[Big Righteous]

Brett, you can end the episode right before the band.

[Lawton Getty]

Well, guys, and I do mean guys, I want to thank you so much for being on the show. Gino, so wonderful to have you here.

[Big Righteous]

Always a pleasure, Scotty. Ox. Plug that ox cord in. And I'm of course talking about your dick that you can plug into the car.

[Lawton Getty]

And big righteous. Hopefully we will not cross paths again.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I don't think my mom's gonna let me go on my dad's weekends anymore.

[Lawton Getty]

I'm so sorry. Because of this show, you think? Because of being on the show and.

[Scott Aukerman]

The way it's gross negligence being here.

[Big Righteous]

Oh, it's gross all right.

[Lawton Getty]

Just being on any podcast, I would imagine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Any podcast.

[Lawton Getty]

It's a base art form, right? It's gauche to be on a podcast.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's pronounced ghosts.

[Lawton Getty]

Sorry. That's right. And yes, Latin Getty Ghosts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah. Big day for me. A lot of introspection.

[Lawton Getty]

Yeah. What do you think's gonna happen to you after this? I mean, this might be the last time we ever crossed. I know life is long and anything can happen, but we may never see the likes of you again.

[Gino Lombardo]

Oh, I've seen you in the store before. You may say you haven't eaten there, but you've been there.

[Lawton Getty]

Come on, don't blow up my spot here.

[Gino Lombardo]

Yeah, yeah, you've been. Yes. The saddest looking person I've seen walking in there. And it's Little Caesars.

[Scott Aukerman]

Want to hear my impression of Scott at Little Caesars? I'll have a pizza. Pizza and a pizza. Pizza and a pizza. Pizza. Hey, six pizzas.

[Lawton Getty]

Come on, guys. You don't gang up on me. I'm the host of the show. What about you?

[Gino Lombardo]

You shouldn't have invited so many men.

[Lawton Getty]

Oh, no, I'm being alpha.

[Big Righteous]
