Steve Buscemi
Hi, this is Steve Buscemi. You know, the actor. Well, now I'm an actor and podcast host. From Piece of Work Entertainment and Campside Media, in association with Olive Productions, comes Big Time, an Apple original podcast. Each episode follows the story of one misfit with big dreams who isn't afraid to bend a few rules or take a shortcut to get there.
Scott Aukerman
Well, who steals bees? I was duped.
Jon Hamm
I shoot you in the leg.
Steve Buscemi
This is Big Time. Follow and listen on Apple Podcasts.

It's survey time. This comes around every five years or so. It's so exciting. In order to support Comedy Bang Bang, we need the help of some great advertisers, not just good advertisers. And we want to make sure those advertisers are ones that you actually want to hear about. But we need to learn a little bit more about you to make that possible. So here's what you do. Go to pod survey.com Bang Bang and take a quick anonymous survey that will help us to get, you know, better. All you gotta do is enter your name, address, phone number. No, it's anonymous. And this way we can bring on advertisers who you won't want to skip. And once you've completed the quick survey, you can enter for a chance to win a $100Amazon gift card. Terms and conditions, of course. Of course they apply again, that is podsurvey.com Bang Bang. Thanks for your help. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and 100% of the shots you do take because you're bad at sports and miss every shot. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Too long. Thank you to Floppy Baby for that catchphrase submission. Floppy Baby, the hunt continues. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. My name is Scott Aukerman. I don't even believe I introduced myself on our last episode. So if you listen to all of that and had no idea who the host was, but you said, you know what, I'll try another one. In case he introduces himself. I am Scott Aukerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have a great episode coming up a little later, we have a custodian, someone who works in custodial services. So that's a good episode of Comedy Bang Bang, I think. But on the other end of the spectrum, although I don't know, I would imagine that you make a mess of the toilet occasionally.
Jon Hamm
Sure, I'm proud. A proud mess.
Scott Aukerman
He is an old friend of the show. He, of course, put in six seasons or seven. Seven. How many did you do with that show? You know what show I'm talking. What other show?
Jon Hamm
The division. The Division.
Scott Aukerman
Of course, we all remember.
Jon Hamm
You, me, and Nancy McKee.
Scott Aukerman
I remember those.
Bob Duca
The.
Scott Aukerman
The billboards around town. I was like, there's my friend.
Jon Hamm
There he is. He made it. Television for women. Lifetime television for women. 10 tits and a dick.
Scott Aukerman
You, of course, were the owner of two of those tits.
Jon Hamm
Yes, two beautiful, masculine tits.
Scott Aukerman
How many. How many seasons of Mad Men did you.
Jon Hamm
We did. We did eight seasons.
Scott Aukerman
You're kidding me.
Jon Hamm
93 episodes.
Scott Aukerman
Why not do the extra seven?
Jon Hamm
It does mean. It does beg the question.
Scott Aukerman
You know what I mean?
Jon Hamm
Let's come back for a little completion, do it all over the round number.
Scott Aukerman
You know, one episode per. Per season or whatever. Just do us. Just do a final season where there's like seven more. Why don't you get back together, Do a final season.
Jon Hamm
Listen your lips to God's ears.
Scott Aukerman
Honestly, that show kind of stopped in the middle of things. Did it?
Jon Hamm
Pretty much at the end of the. At the end of the continent. Well, whatever. Maybe you didn't see the.
Scott Aukerman
Who knows? Yeah, well, I don't know. I wasn't really.
Jon Hamm
A lot of people didn't pay attention. It was. It was a show really made for passive viewing.
Scott Aukerman
But he. He, of course, played Don Drapper, Don Dripper on Madman, Don Dripper and Donald Diaper. Now he inexplicably is playing a guy named Andrew Cooper.
Jon Hamm
Cooper Draper.
Steve Buscemi
Draper.
Jon Hamm
Cooper.
Scott Aukerman
Cooper Draper. Cooper Draper. On a different show called you'd Friends and Neighbors, which is coming out on April 11th.
Jon Hamm
Apple TV. On Apple TV, streaming once a week. The first two episodes will drop on the 11th, and then it'll be once a week, the Slow Drip.
Scott Aukerman
So if you have an extra 500,000. Fifteen hundred dollars in your spare pocket and you want an Apple TV subscription.
Jon Hamm
Doesn't cost that much. Scott, I believe you're radically overestimating the cost of it. I think it's much closer to all.
Scott Aukerman
The bells and whistles.
Jon Hamm
Well, sure, if you want a really good connection and like, all the stuff. Yeah, $500 million. But other than that, no, it's. It's. It's remarkably affordable.
Scott Aukerman
Please welcome back to the show for. I. I'm gonna. I'm gonna try to guess how many actual episodes you've done.
Jon Hamm
You. Your guess is as good as mine.
Scott Aukerman
I'm gonna say 12.
Jon Hamm
I think it's at least 12.
Scott Aukerman
At least 12. Okay. So 13. 13.
Jon Hamm
A baker's dozen.
Scott Aukerman
Please welcome back John Ham, the aforementioned Baker.
Jon Hamm
Donald Baker.
Scott Aukerman
Donald Baker.
Jon Hamm
Donald doesn't.
Scott Aukerman
Joe Don Baker.
Jon Hamm
Joe Donald Baker.
Scott Aukerman
Hi, John. Welcome back to the show. Thank you so much for being back. For being. I believe you've done. I'm. I'm checking it out right here. I have your stats ready.
Jon Hamm
It's like a little. Like a little baseball card, but with my CVB stats.
Scott Aukerman
You have done. In terms of the podcast, only the pod.
Jon Hamm
Not the. Not the television television show or the. Or the radio show.
Scott Aukerman
No, the ra. This includes the radio show. But have you ever done a live episode? I don't think so. Okay, so you. And how many episodes of the TV show did you. Just one.
Jon Hamm
One.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, so out of the podcast, this is your 12th appearance.
Jon Hamm
Wow, that is such an amazing guest.
Scott Aukerman
Incredible. And. And let me. Let me.
Jon Hamm
And I'm an amazing guest.
Scott Aukerman
Let me give you your numbers. You did four episodes of our first hundred.
Jon Hamm
Oh, wow.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
So I was an early adopter.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. You were on episode 12.
Jon Hamm
Holy moly. So was that when they were once.
Scott Aukerman
A week or were they still are once a week? Yes.
Jon Hamm
Well, you know, pandemic. I don't know. Are we still in the pandemic?
Scott Aukerman
You did one episode in this. In the hundreds.
Jon Hamm
Okay. So I took a little breather. I was probably a little busier than.
Scott Aukerman
Well, actually, it wasn't. It wasn't truly a breather as much as. Because you. You did 126. That was number. Episode 100. So it was like you're doing about every 25 episodes.
Jon Hamm
I got it.
Scott Aukerman
Then you didn't come back again until 211. So you went, but I got it.
Jon Hamm
I'm still in the once a hundred.
Scott Aukerman
You're still in 100. But it was a couple years before you. You came back. Then you jump all the way up to 495.
Jon Hamm
I missed the threes. I missed the threes.
Scott Aukerman
Missed the threes. That was four years later.
Jon Hamm
Man. I wonder where I was during the threes.
Scott Aukerman
We, of course, had our legendary, terrible threes.
Jon Hamm
Yes. Scott and I were at Loggerheads. This is a beautiful camp up in Northern California, by the way. If you ever get a chance to.
Scott Aukerman
Go to Loggerheads, please, please enjoy. Gorgeous.
Jon Hamm
Yes. Sponsor. Sponsor the show. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Then you come back about a year later in. In fact, under a year later, you're in episode 540, and then you do another episode in the 500s. 599.
Jon Hamm
Well, because I feel like I kind of dissed the threes, so I wanted to get back on that prime number.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Also, it was our 10th anniversary episode. You came in and did something else.
Jon Hamm
Oh, that was fun. I remember that one. And then it was a rainy day in Hollywood.
Scott Aukerman
You were on five. Was that a rainy day?
Jon Hamm
Really? I remember that. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
That was interesting. So that was 599, which may as well have been the six hundreds.
Jon Hamm
Close enough.
Scott Aukerman
So we'll count it in the six hundreds. Then you're back up to 774.
Steve Buscemi
Dang.
Scott Aukerman
That's. That's three years later. Of course, the plandemic happens. Yeah, it happens.
Jon Hamm
I mean, it's almost like it was planned.
Scott Aukerman
And then you go to 8:39, which is a year later, and now you're in 900. This is like 909 or something like.
Jon Hamm
That one after 909.
Steve Buscemi
So.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. An incredible recap of all of your appearances that created about five minutes of content.
Jon Hamm
So much content, and I think I'm gonna say it. Riveting. People were like, I don't know. Is he going to make the fours? Is he going to make the fives? What's the 599? Is it a 6?
Scott Aukerman
Well, you're a good friend of the show. I appreciate you being here always.
Jon Hamm
It's always a fun hope to have.
Scott Aukerman
You in the thousands.
Jon Hamm
I hope so too. Now maybe maybe one Triple O. I'd certainly. I wouldn't turn down an invitation.
Scott Aukerman
Really? You want to be on the thousand?
Jon Hamm
I'm a big. I'm a big anniversary guy.
Scott Aukerman
Clearly, you're. You're coming up on. On your first anniversary of being married.
Jon Hamm
I believe it's the second, but is this public?
Scott Aukerman
I have no idea. Oh, it's the second.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. Second. Second anniversary in June, which is nice.
Scott Aukerman
What I meant to say is the first anniversary of your first anniversary.
Jon Hamm
First anniversary, of course. Congratulations. Thank you. It's a very. Yes. No, I got married in 2023.
Scott Aukerman
Wonderful stuff.
Jon Hamm
We all love June up in Big Sur.
Scott Aukerman
Beautiful.
Jon Hamm
Beautiful.
Scott Aukerman
We mentioned that you did eight years and approximately 93 episodes of the Mad Men TV show.
Jon Hamm
Exactly 93. You can count them.
Scott Aukerman
And then it comes to my attention via the news wires that you have some other show called your friends and neighbors. I watch Mad Men, and I go, you know what? That's the perfect.
Jon Hamm
Why do more. What are you doing?
Scott Aukerman
Cap of his career.
Jon Hamm
Why would you do more?
Scott Aukerman
I think I am confused, and our listeners are confused as to why you would do another.
Jon Hamm
I think part of why I'm here is to help alleviate that confusion in some way.
Scott Aukerman
Explain this to us in ways that Will make us understand.
Jon Hamm
Scott, I don't know if you've heard of this device, this kind of concept. Money. It's a great thing.
Scott Aukerman
Is that why you're doing all these commercials?
Jon Hamm
Yeah, man. It enables you to buy goods and services.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay.
Jon Hamm
Like, if you needed.
Scott Aukerman
What's the best thing you bought recently?
Jon Hamm
Ooh, good question. The best thing I bought because you.
Scott Aukerman
Mentioned to me that you bought, well, goods and services. A poster for eight days in the Valley.
Jon Hamm
Yes, I, I, I do own a giant one sheet in the Valley. It was a long, it was about, it was about a week long in the Valley. And it was a lot, there was a lot of high jinx. It was Charlize the Charlize Theron's first starring vehicles, I believe. James Spader, maybe Spades. There was one. There was something.
Scott Aukerman
What's the difference between a Spader and a Wood Ex? I would imagine a Spader goes to work in the woods for sure. Using.
Jon Hamm
You got to spade that stuff out. Their ancestors probably work together hugely, hugely intertwined families. The greatest thing I bought recently. I don't, you know, I don't, I.
Scott Aukerman
Don'T know how hard you drive and what's your license plate number?
Jon Hamm
My license plate number is 72G.G543. It is a distributor plate.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, wait, you must have one of those because you do the commercial.
Steve Buscemi
You get the freebie, man.
Scott Aukerman
You get the freebie. Yeah. So you don't even have to buy that.
Jon Hamm
No, so I don't have to buy that.
Scott Aukerman
So what's the best thing that you bet? Like, what's, what's something where you're like, man, doing, doing these shows is all worth it because I bought.
Jon Hamm
Buddy, let me tell you what I just bought recently that blew my mind. I bought myself some free time. Whoa.
Scott Aukerman
That's more valuable than anything.
Jon Hamm
And I'm telling you, free time with a young child, you know. You know free time is more valuable than anything, right?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. That's why we work.
Jon Hamm
So that's why you work so hard. Hey, a lot of people live to work. This guy works to live.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. I work to work.
Jon Hamm
Well, that's, that's, that's also totally fine.
Scott Aukerman
Sometimes I live to live, so sometimes.
Jon Hamm
You live and let die. I noticed, too.
Scott Aukerman
I did that once. It was a little bit painful, so.
Jon Hamm
I tried living that live.
Scott Aukerman
You used to tell me about your friends and neighbors, because I, this is baffling to me. You were, you were on this Apple TV about a year ago where you were playing, you were on the morning show and you were. They were asking the question, what if Elon Musk were handsome? Which is like a fanciful world that we can't even really imagine or articulate.
Jon Hamm
Yes, it was. It all started, Scott. And I know, again, I know you know how this business works.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
If you want a job really, anywhere, what you really should do.
Scott Aukerman
Get headshots. Is for any job, for sure.
Jon Hamm
Get a headshot. And by all means, buy a beeper.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. And make it a composite. Try to be dressed up like a chef in one picture.
Jon Hamm
Spicy meatball. Maybe something funny. Maybe something serious. Crying clown. You know, whatever juggle you can do. Whatever you can do. Represent that in your head.
Scott Aukerman
And make sure you say you can horseback ride on your cv, as you.
Jon Hamm
Might say, a comp card.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
Regardless, what you really need to do when you want a job on any of these streaming platforms. And there are so many, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
You've got fubi, you've got Tubi, you've got bluebie, bluebe, and. And you've got Netflix, you've got Hulu, you've got Yulu, you've got yolo, which is if you only live once, you should get that one.
Scott Aukerman
Weirdly, they only stream you only live.
Jon Hamm
Twice, which is odd. And they only do it. Guess how many times.
Scott Aukerman
Once.
Jon Hamm
Yep. And that's it. You do. You're 9.99amonth. Anyways.
Scott Aukerman
So let me get. Let me guess what you do. You have to do a commercial for them to let them know you'll play ball.
Jon Hamm
Scott, that's exactly what you do. You get them to pay you to do a commercial on their own platform for their own. To beg for a job.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, that's. That's essentially what that commercial was, wasn't it? Where you're. It was. It was a commercial of what? Everyone else in Hollywood has a TV show on Apple. Except for me.
Jon Hamm
Except for me.
Scott Aukerman
And then suddenly you have a TV show.
Jon Hamm
Two.
Scott Aukerman
Two. Yeah.
Jon Hamm
You have a morning show.
Scott Aukerman
Morning show.
Jon Hamm
And. And now your friends. Tbd. But you never know.
Scott Aukerman
You know, look, you never know about this guy.
Jon Hamm
I mean, listen, this guy's here and there. He's everywhere. He's in space. He's on the earth. He's.
Scott Aukerman
He's.
Jon Hamm
Who knows?
Scott Aukerman
I thought it was weird on the morning show with the last episode where like, basically it all comes out that you tried to screw over Jennifer Aniston. Spoilers for the morning show.
Jon Hamm
Oh, come on. It was two years ago.
Scott Aukerman
And then he just jumps into a rocket ship and goes by Sails off in his face. It was such a, such an odd end to a series that I was.
Jon Hamm
Like, I thought the weirdest thing about the end of the morning show was all of a sudden it was like afternoon.
Scott Aukerman
That's the thing is truth in advertising is very important to me. That's why Saturday Night Live, which I know you're hosting in a week or so, is. Come on, guys, come on. I mean, by the way, you're in the 12th timer club on this show. That's three times we care about you even more. But, but that show is. They say Saturday Night Live, two thirds of it takes place on Sunday morning.
Jon Hamm
Also, you want to do your 50th anniversary and you want to do it on a Sunday. Hey, guys, guys.
Scott Aukerman
It's called Saturday Night Live for a reason.
Jon Hamm
It's not Saturday Night Live in Australia.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my God. These guys. Any case, so, yeah, the morning show, like, I was noticing, like occasionally, like you were boning down on Jennifer Aniston.
Jon Hamm
Nighttime.
Scott Aukerman
In the middle of the night.
Jon Hamm
Nighttime. Nighttime.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
It's morning somewhere, I guess is the idea.
Scott Aukerman
I guess that's the idea behind the show. They make that disclaimer.
Jon Hamm
The idea is once again, you. You demand that. That the streaming platform in question.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
Pay you for a commercial, then give you a television show. This is what happened.
Scott Aukerman
Wow, this is an incredible.
Jon Hamm
Your Friends and Neighbors starts. It's. It's so. Wait, I could do this if you. If you had the gumption, I guess.
Scott Aukerman
I don't have the gumption, buddy.
Jon Hamm
You got to get a. You got to get a gumption guy.
Scott Aukerman
So what? I just talked to Apple tv. I say, hey, pay me to do a commercial.
Jon Hamm
Say, hey, guys, how about, how about a little Scott sauce? How about a little Scott hot sauce? Scott hot saucerman.
Scott Aukerman
This is, this is a good piece of advice. I'm just going to do a cold call.
Jon Hamm
Just cold call them.
Scott Aukerman
They'll know who's talking. Right?
Jon Hamm
Hi, Apple.
Scott Aukerman
How about sauce?
Jon Hamm
Call the Genius Bar and go. Where do I do?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, go work my way up through the Genius Bar.
Jon Hamm
Listen, somebody knows somebody. That's how it works.
Scott Aukerman
This guy, by the way, have we talked about this guy? Tim Cook? He works at Apple, but his name is Cook. His name should be Tim Apple, but okay, it's Cook. We give you that. But he doesn't cook apples.
Jon Hamm
Exactly. Can you throw a pie into anything?
Scott Aukerman
Throw a pie into one thing.
Jon Hamm
One God damn thing.
Scott Aukerman
Anyway, so whatever. Your Friends and neighbors.
Jon Hamm
Your Friends and Neighbors is a contemporary story. Unlike Mad Men, which takes place in the 1960s.
Scott Aukerman
But. So are you saying that this show takes place in the exact hour that anyone ever watches it? No, it takes place in the past.
Jon Hamm
No, just contemporary. Contemporary. Contemporary. Like near.
Scott Aukerman
But how long ago were we talking?
Jon Hamm
I think just. Just maybe within. Within days.
Scott Aukerman
Like, days of.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, within days of now. Yeah, within days of now.
Scott Aukerman
So, wait, the. The events of. I mean, I think the events of the first episode.
Jon Hamm
How soon is now? And this is what they said.
Scott Aukerman
The events of the first episode are about to happen because the show doesn't come out for another 11 or 12 days or so.
Jon Hamm
Hey, hey, tune in.
Scott Aukerman
So this is all set in the future, according to when we're taping this.
Jon Hamm
Depending on when this comes out, depending on the present.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, so this is a futuristic show. Interesting. So are there lasers and stuff or what?
Jon Hamm
I mean, aren't there lasers and everything? Try to open your phone without a laser. Good luck.
Scott Aukerman
No one's wearing glasses, so. I bet they use lasers to correct their vision.
Jon Hamm
Lasik. Tim Cook knows about it.
Scott Aukerman
His name should be Tim Lasik.
Jon Hamm
Tim Lasik.
Scott Aukerman
You know, but then he wears glasses, so this guy's confusing, man.
Jon Hamm
You know, Jobs had it right. You know. What? Steve Jobs had a job.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly. Johnny Cash Money. Bob Hope.
Jon Hamm
All he did was give the soldiers hope.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you.
Jon Hamm
Good Lord.
Scott Aukerman
So, in any case, this is a futuristic show.
Jon Hamm
Joe penny from Simon vs Simon.
Scott Aukerman
Pennywise.
Jon Hamm
Also, they had nothing but copper coins.
Scott Aukerman
I'd love to live in the sewer. What about you?
Jon Hamm
I mean, depending on the sewer. Have you been to some of these sewers?
Scott Aukerman
Not the worst. You know what I'm saying?
Jon Hamm
Yeah, there's a couple places in Manhattan. I was like, there's some nice tile work.
Scott Aukerman
Beverly hills sewers.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. 9,021. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
So this guy's. First of all, he decides to call himself Andrew Cooper.
Jon Hamm
Well, he goes by Coop.
Scott Aukerman
Did parents name him this or his birth name?
Jon Hamm
Andrew. Last name?
Scott Aukerman
Because in Madman, there was all this, like, shenanigans with Don Draper. Isn't his real name. Like, is that the same thing?
Jon Hamm
We went to. We went away from that. We went. We felt like we did that it.
Scott Aukerman
Would be ballsy if in the middle of the.
Jon Hamm
Every character I play is like, is that your real name? And I'm like, I got something to tell you.
Scott Aukerman
You got to pitch this. So we.
Jon Hamm
No, it's. It's his real name.
Bob Duca
He.
Jon Hamm
He goes through a sort of a seismic event in his. In his. In his life. He loses his job through no fault of his own. Some corporate chicanery, a Little, A little shenanigans happened to him and, and because all his, his main source of income has, has, has evaporated.
Scott Aukerman
His job.
Jon Hamm
His job and he lives.
Scott Aukerman
That's usually people's main sources.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, but some people have ancillary income, you could say.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I mean a lot of people's ancestors, you know.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. Aunts and Un. Larry, Uncle Saleri and Ancil. They sometimes give you money. Sure. Anyways, he, he does lose his job. He is living a very expensive existence and he kind of is. Takes, takes account of all of his friends and neighbors around him and realizes these people don't need all this stuff. Maybe he can start relieving them of some of them by, by fits and starts and steals from them and.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, like, like he goes over to their houses at parties and like takes a necklace or two.
Jon Hamm
Yes, yes, yes it is.
Scott Aukerman
He's like a modern day Robin Hood.
Jon Hamm
He's like a Robin giving it to himself, but giving it to himself.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
So I think he might have missed kind of the point of Robin Hood. But he's got. Who can say he got the Robin part?
Steve Buscemi
Sure.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
Yes, he was definitely robbing.
Scott Aukerman
Does he wear a hood? Do you get to wear a cloak or anything like that? Well, Dr.
Jon Hamm
Strange, I gotta tell you, he does wear a hoodie. Maybe he's close. Robin Hoodie. That's close, which was the working title.
Scott Aukerman
So the cast on this, we're talking Olivia Munn.
Jon Hamm
Olivia Munn.
Scott Aukerman
Amanda Pete.
Jon Hamm
Amanda Pete.
Scott Aukerman
Mark. Tall man.
Jon Hamm
His, his last name is Tallman, but it looks like Tall man. And he is a tall man.
Scott Aukerman
Is he a tall. What are we talking, six, two, six, three?
Jon Hamm
Tall enough. I mean he's not an Aukerman sized.
Scott Aukerman
Human being, but six, two and a half.
Jon Hamm
But that's not true at all.
Scott Aukerman
Really? You think I'm taller?
Jon Hamm
I think you were at least six, four. I've stood next.
Scott Aukerman
No, no, I'm not.
Jon Hamm
Come on. Yeah, I mean I felt like every time I stand next to you post saying and tall I feel like I am.
Scott Aukerman
I'm the shortest out of both of them. Them. We have Hoon Lee. We have Lena Hall.
Jon Hamm
We have Lena hall from Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Scott Aukerman
Yep. Amy Carrero, who people would know from Shira. Shira Shaw and then recurring. We're talking Corbin Burnson from LA Law.
Jon Hamm
Yes, indeed. Corbin Burson from Major League.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
Mr. Roger Dorn from Major League. The, the, the affable second baseman.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. And then a bunch of people who I don't know. But, I mean, this is.
Jon Hamm
But you will. You will know them.
Scott Aukerman
They'll be imprinted on my memory.
Jon Hamm
Absolutely.
Scott Aukerman
Here to the end of time.
Jon Hamm
It's a wonderful ensemble. It's a. It's a funny show. It's a dark show. It's. There's, you know, a lot of difficulties happen because of the. The criminal nature of.
Scott Aukerman
You get to do the mission impossible thing where, like, you lower yourself into a room and it's not.
Jon Hamm
No, it's not. It's more just him kind of looking around and sort of peeling off from a crowd into a closet. This is like, what if stealing some stuff.
Scott Aukerman
What if Bruce Wayne did exactly everything instead of becoming Batman, he just goes and steals stuff in the other room.
Jon Hamm
He stole stuff from his friends. Like, all right. Hey, man.
Scott Aukerman
So this is sort of like a Batman type of show that's set in the future.
Jon Hamm
Yes, it's a lot like Batman and a little like Mad Men. So it's Batman.
Scott Aukerman
Batman. Well, this is a dynamite show. I mean, your friends and neighbors. It obviously comes out on Apple TV.
Jon Hamm
Apple TV Plus April 11th, first two.
Scott Aukerman
Episodes, day after Wet Day. So you're. You're going to be drying off.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, For Tenky. I'll be. I'll be. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
For 410. Obviously, he's wet Day. When we get as wet as possible.
Jon Hamm
Possible, you have to get wet.
Scott Aukerman
So is everyone, like, drying off in this show in the first scene, like from Wet Day or you say it's contemporary, so I imagine that.
Jon Hamm
I mean, I'll let you. I'll let you find out, but I think the answer might surprise you.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, boy.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I'm not sure which is going to surprise me more, no or yes. Maybe a mixture tune in. Someone, like, wipes their.
Jon Hamm
No, no, no.
Scott Aukerman
With a rack. Really?
Jon Hamm
It will be patently app.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, man. This is going to be the perfect television show. That's what you call a teaser. Of course. We're celebrating Wet Day next week on show. Wet day. What day? What day?
Jon Hamm
What day?
Scott Aukerman
This is our. This is a good thing that we need to turn the country with third base. Jon Hamm is here and. Did you have to. Did you have to, like, figure out what a hedge fund manager is when you did this show, or did you just say lines?
Jon Hamm
I just said lines. Let's be honest. We all have a. We all have a working idea of what a hedge fund manager is.
Scott Aukerman
Do we?
Jon Hamm
I. I mean, look, Sonic the hedge fund manager. Manager. I think we all know there's Sonic and Knuckles and one of them manages hedge fund and one of them doesn't. One's red, one's blue. I get it, I get it. Professional actor.
Scott Aukerman
If there ever was anything that you didn't understand.
Jon Hamm
Wikipedia.
Scott Aukerman
Wikipedia, really?
Jon Hamm
So right to the source.
Scott Aukerman
So you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your peers by like asking a question. Just go right to Wikipedia.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, no, thank you. That's why it's there. That's why I donate $4 a year, dude.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, those are big numbers.
Jon Hamm
Big numbers.
Scott Aukerman
Do you think about it?
Jon Hamm
There's probably a billion people that use that. That's $4 billion a year.
Scott Aukerman
My lead, the website that I go to the most every day and I have never donated and I need to rectify that.
Jon Hamm
Just change it, change it, change it today.
Scott Aukerman
Just do an auto Pay. Hey, like 500amonth.
Jon Hamm
Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
You know, that's an Apple TV plus subscription.
Jon Hamm
That's the base level. Yeah, for sure. I mean, you're going to want to get a little. Bump it up a little more, but. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Scott Aukerman
To get. To get the real shows, to get the good stuff. Like basically just 500amonth pays for like the Apple logo on your.
Jon Hamm
You get an Apple logo on your screen, you get a sticker to put on the back of your laptop, which is really nice, which is awesome because then you have. Then everybody will think, oh, it's a Mac. It's a MacBook.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly.
Jon Hamm
Instead of that dumb Acer.
Scott Aukerman
How many days a week you work on this show?
Jon Hamm
All of them.
Scott Aukerman
You did a five day. Really?
Jon Hamm
Oh, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I was Mad Men numbers.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. It was a tough. And it's a lot harder to do that. I just turned 54 years old, March 10th month. And it's a lot harder to do that in your 50s than it is in your 30s. But, but the. I love doing the work and it was fun. I enjoyed it. We shot the show in upstate New York, so we were living in New York City. That was really fun.
Scott Aukerman
Broadway shows.
Jon Hamm
I didn't. I didn't have any time. Unfortunately.
Scott Aukerman
You're working five days a week.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, exactly. Although we did see one. What was it called? It was the Tom Stoppard play that was. Oh, it was so heavy that Josh Molina was in and David Krumholtz and anyway, great people, great people. Great show. It was about the Holocaust. Super.
Scott Aukerman
Bad times. So it's. It's a. It's a. You had a great time shooting it.
Jon Hamm
Yes, wonderful time.
Scott Aukerman
Shooting from action to cut. Fabulous times had on screen.
Jon Hamm
Yes. Craig Gillespie who you might know from I, Tanya. He directed the first couple episodes. He also directed.
Scott Aukerman
Please don't joke about I Tanya this Christmas, by the way.
Jon Hamm
Why Tanya?
Scott Aukerman
Exactly. Third base. So the hard way.
Jon Hamm
Words of wisdom.
Scott Aukerman
It's a great TV show. We. We need people to watch this. Hey, tune in.

Hats we all have to wear Them to protect ourselves from the rain, the sun, the elements. I guess earth and water. No, I did water with rain. Who knows what the elements are?

Apparently it was something else because Wikipedia.
Jon Hamm
It was something else. I think it might have been a movie, but you know what? Who gives a shit?
Scott Aukerman
It was a 1998 black comedy film written and directed by Neil Lab, but.
Jon Hamm
Oh, Neil LaBute. Yes, correct. I think it was a play that turned into a movie starring.
Scott Aukerman
And this has nothing to do with that?
Jon Hamm
No.
Scott Aukerman
How does this make Neil LaBute feel? He, like, turns on Apple TV one day and he's like, they're making a series out of my movie. We're gonna be rich, hon. We're gonna be rich.
Jon Hamm
And then his wife goes, we've been over this. You can't copyright a title.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, yeah. It's too bad.
Jon Hamm
Yep. Sorry, Neil.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry, Neil. But you are out of luck in any case. Your Friends and Neighbors comes out on April 11th on Apple TV.
Bob Duca
Plus, Scrat. Don't be alarmed.
Jon Hamm
Oh, whoa.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Bob Duca
Scrat. Don't be alarmed.
Scott Aukerman
John, is that you?
Jon Hamm
No, no, that's not Me?
Bob Duca
Look under the table.
Jon Hamm
Oh my God.
Bob Duca
Sorry.
Jon Hamm
How long have you been down there?
Bob Duca
A long time.
Scott Aukerman
Hi, Bob. Bob. Hey, John. Do you know Bob Duca, my stepfather?
Bob Duca
Place a face to the shoe.
Jon Hamm
I do know Bob Duca.
Bob Duca
Hello. Hello.
Scott Aukerman
Hi. Hi, Bob.
Jon Hamm
Hi, Bob.
Bob Duca
Hi, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
What are you doing here under the table?
Bob Duca
It's a very urgent matter. I've come to you.
Scott Aukerman
How long have you been here? If it's so urgent, let's not get.
Bob Duca
Bogged down into detail, Scott, okay?
Scott Aukerman
Did you hear the entire first segment? Pretty good.
Bob Duca
I thought it was a great segment.
Scott Aukerman
Thanks, Bob.
Bob Duca
I love this shout out to. To 80s, late 80s rap group third base.
Jon Hamm
Third base spelled B A, S, S3 the hard way. Words of wisdom.
Bob Duca
But. But Scott, Scott, jokes and security breaches aside, I have an important question to ask you.
Scott Aukerman
Sure, Bob. Sorry for the listener. By the way, this is Bob Duca. He was married to my mother for six months back.
Bob Duca
Six glorious months back in the.
Scott Aukerman
The 90s, was it?
Bob Duca
Or again, let's not get bogged down into details here. Just know that this connection can never be unbroken and you are my forever baby boy.
Jon Hamm
That's very sweet.
Scott Aukerman
That's.
Bob Duca
Which is. Which makes what I'm about to ask you all the more ironic.
Scott Aukerman
All right, I was a grown adult when you were married to my mother.
Bob Duca
But all right, always be a baby boy to me. Scott, I've come to ask you for your hand and please adopt me.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Bob Duca
I need you. I've looked into the legalities of this. I need you to adopt me. Me for love, sure, but also for. For. For medical insurance.
Scott Aukerman
You want me to adopt you? Bob, first of all, you didn't even adopt me when you were married to my mother. I didn't want it because everybody was.
Bob Duca
All uptight about it.
Scott Aukerman
Nothing uptight, I just. I was in my 30s, I believe, and sure didn't need a father figure at that point.
Bob Duca
What is. Okay, let's get into the weeds on what need is. What does anybody need?
Scott Aukerman
Let's break it down.
Bob Duca
Food, shelter.
Scott Aukerman
Right? N. No, not, not.
Bob Duca
Not that specific again. Let's not get back down to detail. Please don't get back.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. Food, shelter, water. Water is.
Bob Duca
And everything else is gravy, baby.
Scott Aukerman
Okay? Food, shelter, water, gravy, Right, Okay.
Bob Duca
No, not gravy. Everything else is great.
Scott Aukerman
Everything else falls under gravy.
Bob Duca
Sure.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bob Duca
The point is. The point is, the way that I wanted to adopt you had nothing to do with need. It had to do with ritual, tradition, and a strong desire to connect.
Scott Aukerman
I understand that, but why then would the shoe be on the other foot? Why would I then need to adopt you?
Bob Duca
Thank you so much. You could probably tell from my demeanor that I'm much buffer than I usually am.
Jon Hamm
You do look great.
Scott Aukerman
I wouldn't say great, necessarily.
Jon Hamm
I wouldn't say bad.
Bob Duca
Some would say buffer. Some would say lumpier. Scott, I've become fully engrossed in the men's vitality movement. And for the last six weeks.
Scott Aukerman
Had you been dabbling before? Before. But now you're fully engrossed?
Bob Duca
I fully, I dipped a toe in, and now I'm deep, deep in it.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bob Duca
I've been, I've been a patient, a client at the Alpha Dynamics Men Trans Longevity clinic run by Dr. Winona Bambini.
Scott Aukerman
What does that entail? I don't know what any of those.
Bob Duca
I will tell you what, but I need the insurance to cover. It's, it's longevity. It's male vitality. You know, there's a crisis of masculinity in this country, in the world.
Scott Aukerman
World. I hadn't noticed. John.
Jon Hamm
It doesn't feel like, it feels like that might be made up.
Bob Duca
No, listen, you, my friend, have nothing to worry about. You are dripping with masculinity. But this, this little, little. God bless you, my son. But you, this little, little puddle. Why, you know what?
Scott Aukerman
You, why are you forcing a communion wafer in my mouth?
Bob Duca
It's not a communion wafer.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no, no.
Bob Duca
It's a zin. It's a zin.
Jon Hamm
Oh, it's a Zen. Well, all right. I guess that's a.
Bob Duca
You, you. In, in the longevity community, you'd be what's known as a cuck puddle.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know why they're branding people that way.
Bob Duca
I think that's cruel. But that's, that's what I was. And I don't want to be that anymore. I, I, I found out that, you know, I, I've let people walk all over me too much. And part of that is the physicality. But I need to continue the, the rigid physical and, and nutritional program that I'm on. And if it, I'm afraid that if I, like, can you. Have you ever seen a weightlifter, but have you ever seen Arnold Schwarzenegger lately?
Scott Aukerman
Okay, these are two very different questions. Have I seen a weightlifter ever, or have I seen Arnold Schwarzenegger lately?
Bob Duca
Well, the first one sets up the second one because the first one's a no. Then we have a lot of, we have a lot of backtracking to do.
Scott Aukerman
I, I Have. I mean, John, you've seen a weightlifter.
Jon Hamm
I've definitely seen. Seen a weightlifter. And I've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger late. So BS to both.
Bob Duca
Right? So a weightlifter, after they stop working out looks like a wet beanbag.
Scott Aukerman
So you're. You're trying to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a wet beanbag?
Bob Duca
Oh, absolutely, yes.
Jon Hamm
I don't know if I agree. I think he's. I think he's looking good for he. You know, he's seven.
Bob Duca
Come on, you brown noser.
Scott Aukerman
You're afraid you're gonna see him at the SNL after party?
Jon Hamm
Probably. Yeah, probably. Probably. He's a big SNL afterparty guy. Either. If there's one thing I know about the Schwarz, is that he. He goes late. Yeah, he hangs out. Goes late.
Bob Duca
Well, the point is, if I don't continue this regimen, my health is engraved.
Jon Hamm
And is this. This is all covered by insurance?
Bob Duca
It is. It is for. For me. Because. Because of the recent administration, they've. They've allowed certain. Which if you're diagnosed as a deep beta male, which I have been. And what is deep.
Scott Aukerman
I know what a beta male is. There's a lower level.
Bob Duca
There's a lower level. There's a lower level.
Scott Aukerman
This is basement level beta.
Jon Hamm
Deep beta.
Bob Duca
Deep beta. Deep beta. And. And. And clinically unfuckable. You can get insurance to revitalize your manhood. And if I don't continue. I'd love to share with you the regimen that I'm.
Jon Hamm
I. I think we'd all like to hear it just for educational purposes.
Bob Duca
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Now maybe this is a regimen that.
Bob Duca
You and I. John. John's probably. If he's not on these, then he's. God bless him, because he's got this naturally.
Jon Hamm
Well, listen, I think we could all use some help.
Bob Duca
Sure, sure, sure. Thank you. Thank you for saying.
Jon Hamm
You know what?
Bob Duca
Hey, that's what this is all about. Helping.
Jon Hamm
No, no, no. Little concern, though, is why. Why do you need Scott's help?
Bob Duca
Because I need to get on his insurance.
Jon Hamm
I see, I see. I missed that.
Scott Aukerman
I'm tracking all this, so he wants me to.
Bob Duca
I've appeared in so many medical journals that I'm. I'm no longer.
Jon Hamm
You're. Yes, you're in the column. DB C, U. Deep Beta, clinically unfuckable. Which is the hard right column.
Scott Aukerman
Right.
Bob Duca
Yes.
Jon Hamm
And. And so you're checking a lot of boxes.
Bob Duca
Yes.
Jon Hamm
And this is the regimen.
Bob Duca
This is the regimen. Regimen to get me out of that beta basement.
Scott Aukerman
Right. And would you be an Alpha then? Or would you? I mean.
Bob Duca
Oh, yes. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
I, to be honest, am a little afraid of you becoming an Alpha because I like, I think there was a recent episode you were on where you tried to alpha me at one point and it was very.
Bob Duca
I think I did a pretty good job.
Scott Aukerman
I've been reeling ever since.
Jon Hamm
Well, that's part of it, I guess, is thinking you did a good job. That's part of being Alpha, you know.
Bob Duca
What'S the exciting thing about me becoming an Alpha again? On the, on the weightlifter thing. Have you ever seen a buff old man and how cool they look?
Jon Hamm
Yeah, it's a. There nothing like somebody that's super muscly but also with pattern baldness.
Bob Duca
Yeah, they have an old purse face and then the body of like a young man.
Jon Hamm
See them on billboards?
Bob Duca
That's what I'm getting.
Scott Aukerman
That's what you're looking for. Okay, what is your. What is your reg?
Jon Hamm
What's the regimen?
Bob Duca
Thank you. Well, the following again, all prescribed by Dr. Winono Bambini at the clinic. I start out with athletic greens. AG1. Of course.
Jon Hamm
Sure.
Bob Duca
Continue on with ultra water intravenous vitamin drip, ultravenous vitamin sploosh, testosterone, human growth hormone, Andrew Huberman proprietary Metamucil, Scientology grade niacin, Red bull enema, motorcycle vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids beta 2, chubby bubbles, wet cement capsules, electricity pellets. I go on a five hour dopamine gorge sesh every day. Creatine, protein, nicotine, ketamine, liquefied weight lifter magazine. See, there it is again. That's why I asked you.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. Yeah.
Bob Duca
Because if you didn't know what they were, then you'd be like, what's the magazine about?
Scott Aukerman
Thank you.
Bob Duca
I do this. These workouts and physical regimen every day.
Jon Hamm
How long does that take?
Bob Duca
Which?
Jon Hamm
All of it. Oh, that's a. That's a pretty. Just the five hour.
Bob Duca
I wake up at 4:30am to start the regiment. I finished the regimen at midnight.
Scott Aukerman
Re. Wow.
Jon Hamm
So. So talk about living to work and working to live.
Scott Aukerman
Really?
Bob Duca
And somehow I still get eight hours of sleep in there. That's because of the incredible amount of efficiency from this program. And you know what helps? The following workout.
Scott Aukerman
You have another list of. Of workout.
Bob Duca
I. I would call it a sub list. All right. Yeah. Bullet point. Hypertext.
Scott Aukerman
Text.
Bob Duca
Hypertext.
Scott Aukerman

Bob Duca
Are you familiar with hypertext?
Jon Hamm

Nordic track. Kidnap machine, Cato from Inspector Clouseau. Robot, David Blaine. Ice block, escape workout. Battle ropes, King Kong, Shoelaces. These supplements for sexual health and overall vitality. That's why I'm able to alpha you.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. Okay. This is another sub list, by the way.
Bob Duca
Sure.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Bob Duca
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Are you going to ask me hyperlink again?
Jon Hamm
I think you established you would prefer link.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I think so.
Bob Duca
Have you? Well, you might need some of these neurotropics then, because if your memory is that. Is that faulty already? Oh, brother.
Scott Aukerman
All right, what are you taking, Bob?
Bob Duca
Ooh. You know what? You're like me. Your body. Your body's going to start on this regimen and your body's going to go, go. Fella, you got a lot of explaining to do. You got a lot of explaining to do.
Scott Aukerman

And then I meditate.
Jon Hamm
Oh, yeah, well, sure.
Bob Duca
I get you can understand how I've become addicted to this stuff, mentally and physically.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, yeah.
Bob Duca
And. And if you deny me this adoption, you are denying me full potential. And you're also contributing to the crisis of masculinity that is ravaging our country.
Scott Aukerman
We don't want that. I mean, John, I'm sure you would agree that.
Jon Hamm
Of course. My. I guess my concern is how have you afforded all of this so far?
Bob Duca
Again, I. I'm a test case. It's sort of like.
Jon Hamm
Let me see.
Scott Aukerman
The current administration is worried that men like him exist, and so they're trying.
Jon Hamm
So they're trying to, to legislate them out of existence essentially by, by my, my. If you could imagine proving their performance.
Bob Duca
You remember Dr. Oz, the great man Dr. Oz, when he would help, like a sick child, he'd go to these different cities and help people. You know, there's a part that reminds.
Jon Hamm
Me of somebody else.
Scott Aukerman
Who?
Bob Duca
Santa Claus.
Jon Hamm
Going, going around the world helping, Helping sick kids. Little guy named Jesus Christ.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know that he went around the world. I think he pretty much stayed in.
Jon Hamm
The known world at the time.
Bob Duca
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I mean.
Jon Hamm
And how do you know? We worship. Were you there?
Bob Duca
We worshiped Buff Jesus at the clinic, of course.
Scott Aukerman
Although I guess, I guess his la. Remember that he came back to life and then, like, he just flied off into space one day.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
He could have flown to, like, he flied off.
Jon Hamm
He flied off. He could have flown to. Let's call it South America.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, exactly.
Jon Hamm
I mean, it's not like there aren't Christians in zone.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Go visit the Incas.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. See what's up. Yeah, you guys seem to be into gold.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. I mean, this is a lot, Bob.
Bob Duca
A lot, a lot. Sure.
Scott Aukerman
I, I, I. How long have you been. How long.
Jon Hamm
Can I ask just a real pressing question? Because it seems like a lot to take into the body. Are there any side effects?
Bob Duca
Are there, There are, there are some side effects. I, I do, I will admit to having random rage episodes.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Bob Duca
Really?
Scott Aukerman
That's not like.
Bob Duca
Please don't look me in the eye.
Jon Hamm
Which is surprising, honestly.
Bob Duca
Don't look me in the eye.
Jon Hamm
As long as I've known you, I'll look you in the chin. Is that cool?
Bob Duca
Sure.
Jon Hamm
Okay. The.
Bob Duca
You notice it's bigger and bolder. Older.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
Well, I mean, it didn't, it didn't start from a great place, so I think maybe that's.
Bob Duca
I take that. I accept that. Yeah, it was terrible. It was in a terrible place.
Scott Aukerman
I, I just.
Bob Duca
My chin was in a dark place. Let's be honest.
Jon Hamm
What was her name?
Bob Duca
Because let's not forget my chin. My chin got.
Scott Aukerman
Too soon, too soon, too soon.
Bob Duca
You know how invested I was in the Credence Clearwater Revival legal troubles. To see those brothers fighting was just so heartbreaking.
Scott Aukerman
Look, Bob, I, I, how long before your regimen runs out?
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Bob Duca
Midnight.
Jon Hamm
Midnight tonight.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know that even if I wanted to adopt.
Jon Hamm
Feels like we're past the point of return.
Bob Duca
No, no, no, no. The do. Dr. Bambini knows how to fast track the insurance.
Scott Aukerman
You have an adopt EZ form there. Okay.
Jon Hamm
Well, I mean, it does seem like the right thing to do, right?
Bob Duca
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I mean, I guess.
Jon Hamm
And he does look marginally better.
Bob Duca
Yeah, Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I would say, like now.
Jon Hamm
Can I ask also, was the reason you were hiding under the table because you're ashamed to come to Scott and ask this question? Because it feels like it's coming from a place of.
Scott Aukerman
That's coming from a real deep beta.
Jon Hamm
A real deep beta.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bob Duca
Right, Right. I guess I see the connection. I think that was a manifestation of the old me.
Jon Hamm
Right?
Scott Aukerman
Yes, I see. And you're trying to kill the old you.
Bob Duca
I want to kill the old you.
Jon Hamm
Squash the old old and inflate the new.
Scott Aukerman
I would love to see you, the new you, wrestle with the old you.
Jon Hamm
Oh, like right now?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, like Greco Roman. Just like oily and slippery.
Bob Duca
Okay, Greco. Oh, I'm more traditional wwe.
Scott Aukerman
Look, I don't care about the tradition.
Bob Duca
Like you start, you know, Olympic wrestling.
Jon Hamm
Right down one guy on the all fours, the other guy behind him, sort of.
Scott Aukerman
That's. That's what you're more into.
Bob Duca
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bob Duca
The Greco Roman, I think, is. It's too. I think it's disrespectful. It's kind of old fashioned. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Look, I. I guess I'm at an age where we need to start taking care of our parents.
Jon Hamm
Maybe that feels right. It feels like the right thing.
Scott Aukerman
Even though while you were married to my mother, we basically had one meeting in passing where we will never forget it, will we? But you've been such a big part of the show here over the past 16 years. I mean, you. You and John. I've bet at least 12 timers, both of us. Yeah, at least 12 timer.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, you're right on the money. 12 timer, John, but.
Jon Hamm
Well, sure, but, I mean, you know, only one way up from there, by the way.
Bob Duca
John, John, you are again. You're dripping with masculinity. It would do me a great service if you would just give me a little bit of your sweat that I. If I could take it back to the clinic.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. Bob. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe they could harvest, you know.
Jon Hamm
Here, have a lick.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Jon Hamm
Oh, my God.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. Pumped up like the incredible.
Bob Duca
What do you think of that?
Scott Aukerman
That.
Jon Hamm
That was unexpected. That was unexpected.
Scott Aukerman
This is a whole new you.
Bob Duca
Look at that. One peck. Just. Really?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it's throbbing.
Jon Hamm
You better have another lick, I think, because you got. I don't want crazy on it, but.
Scott Aukerman
It was a little out of balance.
Jon Hamm
Knife out of balance.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bob Duca
Did you say Kawanish Scots?
Scott Aukerman
I did, yes.
Bob Duca
Oh, good, good.
Scott Aukerman
Well, Bob, I. Look, I'll sign off on the papers.
Bob Duca
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
This is a new. A new step for our relationship.
Jon Hamm
I really do feel like it's great now, Bob, you have to like. Yeah, let' going to.
Scott Aukerman
You're going to have to obey me.
Jon Hamm
Let's not get poa Scotsy a little too far over the edge.
Scott Aukerman
You're going to have to honor thy father.
Jon Hamm
Yes. Which in this case, now.
Bob Duca
Are you my father now?
Jon Hamm
Would be.
Scott Aukerman
Scott, that's what an adoption did you.
Bob Duca
This is the happiest day of my life.
Scott Aukerman
You're happy.
Jon Hamm
And I got to say the Swolest.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bob Duca
I. Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
You're going to have to do some chores around the house.
Bob Duca
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bob Duca
Feel free to put me to work. I. I mean, you know what I.
Jon Hamm
Got to say, Scott. This is. This is going to open up a lot. Open up another chamber in your heart. Heart. Because you have this now. You have. You. You know, you've had a daughter for some time now. You have a son. And. And a swole son.
Scott Aukerman
And my daughter wanted a brother. I mean, exactly.
Bob Duca
Oh, this is gonna be.
Jon Hamm
He can break down boxes. Yes. He can take out the recycling.
Bob Duca
Let me out those boxes.
Jon Hamm
He can trim the hedges. There's so many great things.
Scott Aukerman
Are you willing to. To scrub bathrooms? Like scrub toilets?
Bob Duca
As long as you film it.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. I don't.
Jon Hamm
It's a weird request.
Scott Aukerman
Do you have an only fans page?
Bob Duca
I do that. I do. It's most. It's mostly ASMR and changing bandages.
Scott Aukerman
I'm sure we can work.
Jon Hamm
Sounds like a lot of toilet stuff too. So you.
Bob Duca
Oh, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Well, Bob, this is a happy day. I'm very excited.
Bob Duca
I'm thrilled.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you for coming to me.
Bob Duca
Here, let me. Let me shake your hand.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, wow.
Steve Buscemi
Wow, Bob.
Scott Aukerman
Incredible.
Jon Hamm
Holy cow. The grip strength alone.
Scott Aukerman
This is. This is a brand new era for Bob Duka.
Bob Duca
It is. It really is incredible. And I. And again, if you could stop wasting time and get on this because I can feel myself diminishing. I don't have a few more hours.
Scott Aukerman
Until I've said look, I've signed here.
Jon Hamm
I saw him do here. He filled it out online and he just needs the. The email address. I think it just.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, just.
Jon Hamm
Just press send.
Scott Aukerman
Press send.
Bob Duca
Okay. No, we got to find a Kinko's.
Jon Hamm
Oh, it's got to go hard copy.
Bob Duca
Yeah, she only works. Yeah, I understand.
Jon Hamm
You want. You definitely want a paper trail. I think is the idea Kinko still exists.
Bob Duca
I. I do know where one is.
Scott Aukerman
Why does that not surprise me? All right, look, Bob, we need to take a break.
Jon Hamm
This was. This was lovely. I gotta say, this was really surprising. Lovely.
Scott Aukerman
It was really nice. A nice family reunion on Comedy Bang Bang. And I feel bad because speaking of cleaning toilets, our next guest, I've been keeping him on the line here.

The all new fully electric Audi Q6E Tron.
Jon Hamm
Featuring effortless power and advanced Audi tech. The next Chapter of Audi starts now.
Scott Aukerman
Comedy Bang bang. We are back. Jon Hamm is here. The show is your friend. Friends and neighbors. And it comes out the day after wet Day and August 11th, Friday Dry Day. We all know it comes out on Friday dry day. No more needs to be said. We also have my son, Bob Duca is here. Ex stepfather. Current son.
Jon Hamm
Current son, yes.
Scott Aukerman
Now, I noticed that you were eating during the break and you left a little bit of a mess on the table. And I'm afraid that's a spanking, Bob.
Bob Duca
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Don't make me come to you. Come over here.
Bob Duca
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
All right, here we go. Ready? One, two.
Bob Duca
Is that all you got? Give it to me good. Give it to me. Come on, you baby. Come on. Spank me like a man.
Jon Hamm
One for each appearance on the show. 19.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, boy. That really took it out of me. Honestly, that's harder on me than it is you. Because you can tell physical existence. Yeah.
Jon Hamm
You can tell Scott's worked up a lather.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah.
Bob Duca
That's actually a pretty. Pretty good workout too. It brings a lot of blood to the. To the different parts.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
That's why I've always said spanking your children is a great workout.
Jon Hamm
It's a great workout.
Bob Duca
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Well, we have to get to our next guest. He is the aforementioned person who works in custodial services. Let's welcome him back to the show. It's Mike Ruby, the no snake play plummer.
Steve Buscemi
How you doing, Scott?
Scott Aukerman
Hi, Mike. It's great to see you.
Steve Buscemi
I'm doing good. How are you?
Scott Aukerman
John Ham.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, Mr. Ham.
Jon Hamm
How we have not met, but it's great. It's great not to.
Steve Buscemi
I've done some work in your back house. Of course we haven't met, but I've met some.
Scott Aukerman
And you've seen his ads around the building.
Jon Hamm
No stink.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, of course I am. Of course. Mike Ruby, the no stank plumber. I guarantee there will be no stank when I come and do plumbing in your house.
Scott Aukerman
What about after you leave?
Steve Buscemi
Do you guarantee that I can't be a. Like, I try.
Scott Aukerman
That's normally the problem.
Steve Buscemi
Some of my lawyers. I talked to some of my lawyers and I said, like, can I get after.
Jon Hamm
It's the linger. Really?
Scott Aukerman
The cranberry.
Steve Buscemi
Cranberry rule. But they said no, that if it lingers. That's not my problem there. If it's lingers, they can't point fingers.
Scott Aukerman
It's merely what you do. And we. This was all well covered on your first appearance on the show is when you come.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
As opposed to most of the plumbers that you'll hire to come work on your house, they stink.
Steve Buscemi
Personally, they smell like they.
Scott Aukerman
Because they're always covered in elbows.
Steve Buscemi
They're covered in their ass. Cracks are out. They're wearing dirty overalls. It's nasty.
Jon Hamm
But this guy mos no stink, Scott.
Steve Buscemi
But I, Scott, I, as you know, plumbers have been under fire.
Scott Aukerman
I did not know that.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, you didn't know that?
Scott Aukerman
No, I have not heard about that. Last plumber I heard about was that Joe the plumber guy, Remember?
Jon Hamm
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Doge was, was really going after the plumbers too. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, really?
Steve Buscemi
I, I, I'm not too worried about Doge. They could cut his way much funding from the plumbing department as they want, but there's still going to be clogged toilets. There's still going to be.
Jon Hamm
That's a great, that's a great attitude.
Steve Buscemi
But no, Scott, there is a serial killer that has been targeting plumbers around.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Steve Buscemi
Wow. That's right.
Scott Aukerman
Scott, I haven't heard about.
Steve Buscemi
You haven't heard about this? It's the number one headline in all the newspapers.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. How do they rank headlines?
Steve Buscemi
Well, I think it's the one that's on the front page that becomes so.
Scott Aukerman
Whatever makes the front page.
Steve Buscemi
Whatever's on the front page. Second, old second page. You're number two.
Jon Hamm
Okay, well, number two sounds like the guy that you might be looking for, right?
Scott Aukerman
Is that confusing to people?
Steve Buscemi
I don't like those kind of jokes.
Scott Aukerman
This is the number one headline, Scott, this is serious.
Steve Buscemi
I'm talking about my dad.
Jon Hamm
Fair enough. Listen, you know, sometimes when you get scared, you just make music, you try to laugh.
Scott Aukerman
We're nervous right now. I know you're nervous.
Jon Hamm
For you, I'm nervous.
Scott Aukerman
And you're terrified.
Jon Hamm
For you and your brethren.
Steve Buscemi
Hundreds of plumbers have been brutally murdered around the city.
Scott Aukerman
In what manner?
Steve Buscemi
Well, Scott, I, I can. I'm here to raise awareness, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, well, we'll raise awareness by answering my question.
Steve Buscemi
All right, I will.
Bob Duca
There you go.
Steve Buscemi
I will raise.
Scott Aukerman
This is my son, Bob Duka. Hi, Bob.
Steve Buscemi
How are you?
Bob Duca
I'm well.
Steve Buscemi
All right, Scott. Well, the following list.
Bob Duca
What? Oh, boy.
Scott Aukerman
This is a real list.
Jon Hamm
Show listicles.
Steve Buscemi
The following list, of course, Scott, is of all the plumbers who have died in the city of Los Angeles and the cause of death. Just to raise awareness, see if there are any clues out there, if people can figure this out.
Scott Aukerman
All right.
Steve Buscemi
Of course, Scott, my good friend, Toilet Tank Hank.
Scott Aukerman
No, not tth.
Steve Buscemi
He was thrown from a Train right outside of Los Alamos.
Scott Aukerman
Just like mama.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, that's what everyone likes to say. It's a fun joke. Oh, they threw him from the train like mama.
Scott Aukerman
How do you know he was thrown from a train? Not just like, you know, fell off? Yeah.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, well, you know, the. The FBI was out there. They did some sort of forensic.
Jon Hamm
It was a federal crime.
Steve Buscemi
It was federal of the proximity. The train was just passing the California post office. Post office. So that. It was of course a federal crime.
Scott Aukerman
So I love California's post office.
Jon Hamm
That one post office that the whole state.
Steve Buscemi
Really beautiful. But unfortunately, toilet tank Hank died.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no.
Jon Hamm
It's a shame.
Steve Buscemi
Of course. Dante from AAA Plumbers. Dante is spelled D A N T D A.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. I. I don't care, but okay.
Steve Buscemi
It's important. It's important because people need to know, you know, if you're gon.
Jon Hamm
You going to put on the card clues.
Steve Buscemi
What are you going to put on the card? The obituary, of course. His hand.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know that I'm reading Dante's obituary.
Steve Buscemi
You don't read all the obituaries in the Times every night.
Scott Aukerman
I. It's. It's fascinating to me. The people who I. I posted an obituary about a year ago and that. That it gained some notice and people reached people because of it who, who are reading these things.
Steve Buscemi
A lot of people right before bed, like to pull out the newspaper, go to the obituary.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, I might be coming to join you.
Steve Buscemi
Wow.
Jon Hamm
They call them.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, of course. Dante from AAA Plumbing.
Scott Aukerman
We want a. Not a belly itcher. Sorry to interrupt your list. Go ahead.
Steve Buscemi
This is very important. Scott.
Jon Hamm
Dant A.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry. Dante.
Bob Duca
The same Dante?
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, he's the same Dante.
Scott Aukerman
We never got to his means of his COD.
Steve Buscemi
His hang glider was sabotaged above the Magic Castle, Scott. He fell through the building and up a magic trap. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Wait. So they sabotaged his Tang glider while it was in the air above the Magic Castle?
Steve Buscemi
I'm not sure how it was done, Scott.
Jon Hamm
I'm guess drones.
Scott Aukerman
I think drones are involved.
Steve Buscemi
We have looked into some drone stuff, but we haven't found any evidence.
Scott Aukerman
Scott.
Steve Buscemi
I'm working very directly with the police.
Jon Hamm
So not only did he ruin this man's life, literally.
Steve Buscemi
And his hang glider.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Three things ruined life, hang glider and the magic trick.
Bob Duca
Did people assume it was part of the magic trick?
Steve Buscemi
A lot of people were like, oh, this is fun.
Scott Aukerman
One of those fake messing up this.
Steve Buscemi
Dead body is going to come to life and pull ace out of his pocket. That did not happen.
Jon Hamm
Is this Your card.
Steve Buscemi
That didn't happen.
Jon Hamm
No.
Scott Aukerman
By the way, John just did pull out a card. It was my card.
Steve Buscemi
That was really crazy. He hadn't even pulled the card. But it happened to be his 12 of spades. It says the property of.
Scott Aukerman
That's about it. I didn't. Yeah, I didn't know what card it was.
Bob Duca
Did you see that? His. His testosterone levels plummeted when he started doing close hand match.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, you got to be careful. You got to be careful.
Scott Aukerman
We have a meter on him right now just to check him a trick.
Jon Hamm
A tea meter.
Steve Buscemi
Of course. Peter Pipes, plumbing professional.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no. I've seen his billboards.
Steve Buscemi
Yes. He'll plunge your poopa.
Scott Aukerman
He goes right to the source.
Steve Buscemi
He goes right to the source.
Jon Hamm
So not so much the plumbing, but the. The interior plumbing.
Steve Buscemi
He likes to come to your butthole and do some.
Scott Aukerman
He takes stuff. So that.
Jon Hamm
And this guy, too. No stank.
Steve Buscemi
Well, he. That doesn't. Not something he ever.
Scott Aukerman
You're the only. No stank.
Jon Hamm
Okay.
Steve Buscemi
There's some other. No stank plumbers. But he. He's. He. He's all about being a plumbing professional. Of course, his macho was slowly poisoned with leather condition over a period of eight months, Phantom thread style.
Jon Hamm
Yeah. That's got to be an inside job.
Steve Buscemi
It drove him mad. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Did he die or he's just been driven mad?
Steve Buscemi
It drove him mad. He was running up and down the streets of Franklin Boulevard here in Los Angeles, and he was hit by Danny Masterson's car. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Jon Hamm
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Was Danny Masterson.
Jon Hamm
He clearly wasn't driving.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I don't think he was driving it.
Jon Hamm
No.
Steve Buscemi
Well, I think it was his. Someone had borrowed his car and they were driving from the.
Scott Aukerman
If I was going away to the big house, I'd load my car up.
Jon Hamm
What are you going to do with it?
Steve Buscemi
He's not driving that thing.
Scott Aukerman
What's.
Steve Buscemi
What's he doing with a Chevy Volt at this point?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, of course.
Steve Buscemi
Scent free. Robert.
Scott Aukerman
Sigh before every entry. I know. It's sad. We can stipulate. It's sad.
Steve Buscemi
I've been. I'm trying not to cry while I read these.
Bob Duca
How far apart are these. Are these deaths.
Steve Buscemi
A couple of them were in the same day.
Bob Duca
Oh, God.
Jon Hamm
Oh, wow.
Steve Buscemi
Same day is so.
Jon Hamm
It really is.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah. The same day.
Jon Hamm
An epidemic.
Steve Buscemi
It's.
Scott Aukerman
This is almost like John Ham's appearances on Comedy. Bang Bang.
Steve Buscemi
It's. It's insane.
Scott Aukerman
Sometimes they're close together for a while and then the.
Steve Buscemi
Of course.
Scott Aukerman
God damn it. This is real. Like, try to pep this up. Okay. The heavy sign sent free Robert Gentry. What? Sent free Robert Gentry.
Bob Duca
I can only imagine there was a bit of competition between you two.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, we were. We were, of course, competitors, but we learned to become brothers.
Jon Hamm
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
He was trapped. Damn it. Now that I have become attuned to is bugging me to know it.
Steve Buscemi
I'll try.
Scott Aukerman
I get that you're sad.
Steve Buscemi
I'll try not to size. But I've just been crying for weeks and weeks.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, I. I know this is your way into what's happening too, so a lot like this other guy knows his way of saying Scott is his way in. Anyway. Go ahead.
Steve Buscemi
Sometimes you need to ground yourself, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
I understand.
Steve Buscemi
Well, scent free Robert Gentry was strapped to a water mill and slowly drowned over a period of eight months.
Bob Duca
Did you say a watermelon?
Steve Buscemi
No, a water mill.
Jon Hamm
So he. He went around and around.
Scott Aukerman
Because being strapped to a watermelon, probably not gonna drown you.
Steve Buscemi
That'd be pretty fun, to be honest.
Scott Aukerman
And honestly, it's not that different from being pregnant, from what I hear. Or.
Jon Hamm
Or just carrying a watermelon.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Steve Buscemi
That would be fun. Strap a watermelon to your stomach and pretend you're pregnant.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. I think that's the new Amy Schumer movie, isn't it?
Steve Buscemi
I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know whether it's a watermelon.
Steve Buscemi
It sounds like a great movie.
Scott Aukerman
Movie. Yeah.
Steve Buscemi
But, Scott, I won't sigh before I say Jake Alcott, the Human Ball Cock.
Scott Aukerman
The Human Ball What?
Jon Hamm
Ballcock.
Steve Buscemi
The Ballcock.
Jon Hamm
It's a plumbing. It's a plumbing reference.
Steve Buscemi
It's the inflatable ball that's in the top of your toilet tank to.
Scott Aukerman
Is it weird, though?
Bob Duca
Like, it's a ball. All right. Hey, come on.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, Young man, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna say this again.
Jon Hamm
I would. I would say that, too.
Scott Aukerman
Don't sass me.
Jon Hamm
Watch.
Scott Aukerman
Your tone isn't insane, though, that, like, we've invented so many things like iPhones exist and everything, and there's still, like, an inflatable ball in our toilet.
Steve Buscemi
Well, you know, Scott, it's. It is absolutely a part of my profession, and I take what you just say personally.
Scott Aukerman
Beg your pardon?
Steve Buscemi
But of course, the human bcock. He. Someone cut his brakes, and he was driving and barreled straight into a fireworks factory. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
That's tough.
Steve Buscemi
That is not really tough.
Scott Aukerman
I wonder if they knew that that would happen. I mean.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, yeah. None of the fireworks went off.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. But it just crashed into.
Steve Buscemi
He just crashed Into a wall. Died. Went through his witch.
Scott Aukerman
Terrible.
Steve Buscemi
I'm s. And you know what? And the saddest part about it is he loved fireworks. He would have loved for some to.
Scott Aukerman
Go off, but no, he just, like, crashes into the wall. He's staring at. At unlit fireworks, brain all over the place. Wow.
Steve Buscemi
And somebody cut his break. Scott.
Jon Hamm
So we're all. We're thinking maybe this is a. This is every. All. All the same person.
Steve Buscemi
I think they're all connected.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Steve Buscemi
Because they. There is. There's a note being left at the scene of every neglected.
Bob Duca
That. That was.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, I haven't talked about that.
Scott Aukerman
No. What's the note?
Steve Buscemi
There's a note that says, death to all plumbers. You started the Los Angeles fires.
Scott Aukerman
Each.
Bob Duca
Each note says that.
Steve Buscemi
Each note, it kind of says that. Exactly.
Bob Duca
Seems like a real missed opportunity for such a creative serial killer.
Scott Aukerman
You think maybe this is someone who's been to a Kinko recently?
Steve Buscemi
Oh, they just wrote it once, then made a bunch of copies of it.
Scott Aukerman
I'm looking at you.
Bob Duca
Let's go to Century City. I mean, city of industry. That's where the kink.
Scott Aukerman
Either one is equally city of industry.
Steve Buscemi
Frankie Flush, may he rest in peace, was a previous guest on your show. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
I don't.
Bob Duca
Is he the one that got embarrassed a lot?
Steve Buscemi
Frankie Flush, constantly blushing. He was lured to medieval times with a story about an unplugable toilet. Legend said that you could plunge the unplungeable power pipes and be made king of all and piss. It was a ruse. And he was put to the wrench.
Scott Aukerman
The. The wrench?
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, he was put to the wrench.
Scott Aukerman
What does that mean? That's in the stockades or what?
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, it's kind of a sort of.
Scott Aukerman
You know, medieval torture device.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, it's like they lay him down. They put his head on a thing leaning over, Then they put a wrench around his neck, and they just wrench it around till it pops up.
Jon Hamm
Yikes.
Scott Aukerman
This is terrible.
Steve Buscemi
Really tough stuff. Of course, Punani, the porcelain princess, she was drowned driving through a car wash. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
No, that's right. How did they do it? The converter window, slightly.
Steve Buscemi
The convertible was set to open in the car wash?
Scott Aukerman
No, it was on a timer.
Steve Buscemi
It was on a timer. And of course, all those little flappy dryer things slapped her in the face until she died.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's how she died.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, so it wasn't drowning.
Jon Hamm
Wasn't drowning.
Steve Buscemi
Well, that's previously. You know what? I did say she drowned. That's not correct. That was what the police first thought.
Scott Aukerman
She got slapped by the flappy things.
Steve Buscemi
Changing poor punani, I must say.
Scott Aukerman
The size or not the size.
Steve Buscemi
Coming in. Of course, Little Turd, the canine mascot for the clog dogs, was drowned. Was drawn in quarters. You don't know Little Turd, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
I do. They have a mascot.
Steve Buscemi
He's can. He's the canine mascot to the clog dogs.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, I don't even. No further questions. Just keep going.
Steve Buscemi
You don't want me to get it overruled.
Bob Duca
I want to hear this.
Steve Buscemi
Yes, of course. He was a little. He was a little dog covered in. And he would pop out of a toilet and he said, I uncle. I unclogged it and I'm a dog. It was a bad commercial.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. This doesn't make any.
Steve Buscemi
It's a bad commercial, but no. He was drawn and quartered and cooked up to look like a rotisserie chicken.
Scott Aukerman
No.
Steve Buscemi
And then Michael Klowski, of course, the owner of Clogs and Dogs, ate his own dog and didn't even know it.
Scott Aukerman
No.
Jon Hamm
That's rough.
Steve Buscemi
It's really tough stuff, Scott.
Bob Duca
What did he think he was eating?
Steve Buscemi
A rotisserie chicken?
Bob Duca
Oh, it's the same. Okay.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, it looked exactly like a rotisserie chicken.
Jon Hamm
I mean, I guess I could see the resemblance. I guess.
Scott Aukerman
I guess so. Yeah. Cut off the head.
Jon Hamm
Except the covered in part might.
Steve Buscemi
The covered in. That was tough. Joe and Jill dump rug. The husband and wife owners of Flush Flush give me yo Yo. They, of course, clean people's toilets and only charged. Charge people with. For.
Jon Hamm
For.
Scott Aukerman
I'm sorry, Scott, what are you talking about? They would clean someone's toilet.
Steve Buscemi
Clean their toilet, and then they would say, hey, please. The we only accept yo yos or yayo.
Scott Aukerman
So either yayo, which is pot, right?
Steve Buscemi
No, yayo is cocaine.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, it's cocaine. I'm sorry. That's right.
Jon Hamm
First you get the money, then you get the money.
Steve Buscemi
Then you get the women, then you.
Jon Hamm
Get the Yale, and that's only a few. The yayo.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Jon Hamm
I forgot this guy, like that famous Cuban actor, Robert Loa.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's right.
Steve Buscemi
Of course. This husband.
Scott Aukerman
God damn it, stop with the sign. Try to say these cheerfully.
Bob Duca
He might be. Maybe the serial killer got to you.
Jon Hamm
I got to say, and I'm. I'm new to a lot of this. A lot of this. Not new to this, but I'm new to this. You know an awful lot about these murders.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, well, I'm working very closely with the police and the FBI. John M. You. Are you thinking that I somehow responsible for this?
Scott Aukerman
It's the first person of your competition, right?
Jon Hamm
And the first person they look at somebody close to everybody.
Steve Buscemi
That's. That's not the. That's not the case.
Jon Hamm
I don't know, Scott. Bob, I think I'm looking at a guy with a lot of information and I'm starting to smell something.
Steve Buscemi
Do you think I.
Jon Hamm
You're not so fresh.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. You're the no stank plumber. And suddenly we smell a rat.
Steve Buscemi
Do you think I killed Joe and Jill, plunging them to death?
Jon Hamm
They didn't get up that hill by themselves.
Steve Buscemi
How do you know about the hill? Because I didn't say anything about the hill. Mr. Ham, I believe.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a minute. How do you know?
Bob Duca
How do you know he did?
Jon Hamm
I think we all know that Joe and Jill have to go up that hill to fetch that pail of water that they need to unclog the toilet.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
Come on.
Steve Buscemi
Sigh. Brad and Barry, the bidet boys, of course they were drugged and woke up.
Scott Aukerman
So you're now saying in the middle.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah. Sometimes they were both drugged and woke up in a bank with guns duct taped to their arms. And after a long standoff with the police, they were shot and killed by.
Scott Aukerman
Two of them, negotiators.
Bob Duca
And that the negotiator shot them. The negotiator.
Jon Hamm
Job.
Bob Duca
That's badass.
Steve Buscemi
Tough stuff.
Jon Hamm
Bad negotiating is what it is.
Scott Aukerman
Here's my final hours and hours.
Jon Hamm
My first and final offer.
Bob Duca
Here's your pizza, here's your ex wife, and here's your ticket to hell.
Steve Buscemi
I'm glad you guys could joke about this. It's very funny for you. And of course we're trying to do.
Scott Aukerman
Something to pep up this segment, which is just being laden down by.
Steve Buscemi
Let me s off Mike.
Scott Aukerman
I could still hear it.
Steve Buscemi
And of course, Thor, the God of.
Bob Duca
Plunger windows are steaming up in here with all these signs.
Steve Buscemi
Thor, the God of plunger was shot in the head. Point blank rage.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. That's not as bad as the other one.
Jon Hamm
No, I mean that's.
Steve Buscemi
No, that's not as bad.
Jon Hamm
Thank goodness. That's a quick death.
Scott Aukerman
That's quick. Yeah.
Jon Hamm
Yeah.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, so you like shooting people in the head, Is that right, Scott?
Jon Hamm
Does he wear a helmet with little wings on it too?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Jon Hamm
Or is little plungers on it?
Steve Buscemi
They have little plungers on it.
Jon Hamm
That makes sense.
Steve Buscemi
So, Scott, you know we're under fire right now, Scott. I don't know what.
Scott Aukerman
This is terrible. Do you think you're next?
Steve Buscemi
Well, I, I know I'm next because I am. I'm the only plum. Plumber left in the city of Los Angeles. Scott, Re.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I wondered because I've had a clogged toilet for like the last three weeks.
Steve Buscemi
Well, Scott, I, I'm out here. I'm. I'm persevering. I'm in the face of fear. I'm continuing to do my job up, Scott. And of course I'm going through my 11 step process of cleaning anyone's.
Scott Aukerman
Did you bring another list?
Steve Buscemi
The following.
Scott Aukerman
Can you. Can you. I'll let you.
Steve Buscemi
I have to sigh through this one.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. This one is not as sad. So this one you can do cheerfully.
Bob Duca
Okay, can I interject here? If everybody else dead, your business must be booming.
Steve Buscemi
It is booming. I'm doing very well.
Jon Hamm
But I also like to offer the observation that maybe this guy leaving these notes is not. Is onto something because ever since all these deaths have been happening. No fires.
Steve Buscemi
That's exactly.
Scott Aukerman
Why do they think plumbers caused.
Steve Buscemi
I think there was something to do with like the water pressure and the Palisades. I don't remember, but it was not.
Scott Aukerman
Scott, of course I know Billy Joel.
Steve Buscemi
He didn't speak fire. And he, he made that clear years and years ago. He got way ahead of it.
Scott Aukerman
Airtight alibi.
Steve Buscemi
You know what? I'm gonna make a song that's like, I didn't kill that guy.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. If O.J. had done that.
Jon Hamm
Oh.
Steve Buscemi
If he had had a, A like fun disco hit in the 80s.
Jon Hamm
I didn't kill a waiter.
Steve Buscemi
Well, Scott, you know, of course I have an 11 step process of cleaning anyone's toilet and I've had to make some changes based on the.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. We've read these 11 steps before. But you've made some changes now.
Steve Buscemi
Of course, step one. Scott received the call.
Scott Aukerman
That one is not changed.
Steve Buscemi
It has changed slightly because when I pick up the phone call, I pretend to be someone else until I'm sure it. It's a customer.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Jon Hamm
And not the murderer.
Steve Buscemi
And not the murderer.
Scott Aukerman
Before you used to do it, Lady Ghostbusters, you would answer the, answer the.
Steve Buscemi
Call and I'm ready to go. But now I pick up the phone, I'm like, hello, it's me, Myrtle. And I kind of do a whole thing. I wait, this is good.
Scott Aukerman
So you do a little character work.
Steve Buscemi
I do a little character work.
Jon Hamm
Always fun.
Steve Buscemi
They hire me, they tell me that they need to, to have their toilet cleaned. Now, of course, step two. I proudly take a shower. Scott. Yes, this is proudly.
Scott Aukerman
Proudly. This is in order to wash off any.
Steve Buscemi
I don't want to be stinking.
Jon Hamm
I.
Steve Buscemi
My guarantee is very important to me. But now, with a serial kill out there, I do stand in the shower with a dead man switch. And if anyone opens. Opens my shower curtain like in the movie Psycho, I will let it go, and my house will blow up.
Jon Hamm
I mean, better safe than sorry.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, it's. I've worked on it. I mean, it's the best way to take a shower these days. So I do have a dead man switch.
Scott Aukerman
You have a. A spouse or.
Steve Buscemi
Okay, live alone. Now, of course, step three, I drive to the house.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Steve Buscemi
Now, on my way by.
Scott Aukerman
By the way, Joan and Bob. His 11 steps go very into detail. Okay. So it's like we're not leaving any step.
Jon Hamm
Okay. I mean, listen, I'm glad. I'm. I'm very glad that it's.
Bob Duca
I think you should consider hypertext.
Scott Aukerman
Sure.
Steve Buscemi
That's not a bad idea. So, of course I drive to the house. I make a lot of left turns, right turns, trying to lose anyone.
Jon Hamm
Might be trying to shake the tail.
Steve Buscemi
And let me tell you what if you were to. If you were able to, like, pull me off the road and try to pull me out of the car, guess what? I'm not in there. I was in another car.
Scott Aukerman
You're in a decoy.
Steve Buscemi
That's right. So I do send a decoy, and it's a very long.
Scott Aukerman
That's not an official step.
Jon Hamm
Is it like a wayo?
Steve Buscemi
It is a wayo. It's a driverless car.
Jon Hamm
Smart.
Scott Aukerman
And I have wayo, by the way, is doing such wonders for decoys.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, it's the best.
Jon Hamm
It's way more.
Scott Aukerman
You don't have to hire a guy.
Steve Buscemi
No, you just put a dummy in the front of a waymo.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Jon Hamm
Way more easier than.
Steve Buscemi
It's way more. That's really good. You should do commercial.
Scott Aukerman
You got to do a commercial for them, and then you'll get a free ride somewhere.
Steve Buscemi
Now, of course, step four, I get out of the car. Now. This is a big step, Scott.
Jon Hamm
Huge.
Scott Aukerman
It's a big step.
Bob Duca
I didn't hear you park or turn off.
Steve Buscemi
No, no, no. I get out of.
Jon Hamm
Car's still rolling. Car's still rolling.
Bob Duca
Very clearly.
Steve Buscemi
Slow it down to a roll. I tuck.
Scott Aukerman
That's not a step.
Steve Buscemi
Okay, that's not a step. But I tuck and I just jump. I roll out of the car. And then now with the serial killer out there, I get up I announce myself to the Nick neighborhood. I. I say, hey, it's me. It's Mike Ruby. I'm here. I'm. I'm ready to do some plumbing. I sound off a bear horn a little bit just to get people's attention.
Scott Aukerman
Sure.
Steve Buscemi
And, you know, that step has been, you know, it's similar, but a little bit different. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. I don't recall what the other steps were. No.
Steve Buscemi
You don't remember upon arrival?
Scott Aukerman
Nope.
Steve Buscemi
I asked the people to point me in the direction of the stank.
Scott Aukerman
That's right. Okay. I do remember.
Steve Buscemi
But now, Scott, before I do that, I make sure that they sign an answer NDA.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, so this is what step.
Steve Buscemi
This is step five. I'm inside the house. They sign an NDA.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Steve Buscemi
And I say, hey, you can't say anything about the work I'm doing in this house. You can't even say that I did.
Scott Aukerman
Plumbing on your house because you don't want anyone tracking.
Steve Buscemi
I mean, look, I did announce myself outside the house, but now that I'm inside, seems counterintuitive. I don't want anyone to know what's going on.
Scott Aukerman
Got it.
Steve Buscemi
Now, of course, step six. Once they've pointed me in the direction of the stank.
Scott Aukerman
Wait, so you've eliminated that step?
Steve Buscemi
No, no, no. That is the step I. They sign an NDA, and then they point me in the.
Scott Aukerman
This is two. This is two steps, and you can't.
Bob Duca
Follow your nose to this tank. You need to be.
Steve Buscemi
Now, like I said, step six. This has always been the case. I float off the ground like Pepa Le Pew. And I do follow my.
Jon Hamm
That's nice. That's nice.
Steve Buscemi
But before I make my way to the bathroom, I do pull out my gun and I sweep the house.
Scott Aukerman
So you're Levitro. I'm levitating, and you're sweeping that.
Steve Buscemi
I'm holding a gun. I'm peeking around corners. I'm going clear.
Scott Aukerman
Clear.
Steve Buscemi
You know, that kind of thing. I'm shooting out any windows so people can't see any.
Scott Aukerman
This is all Pepe Lew style.
Steve Buscemi
This is all Pepe Le Pew style, and it's for my own safety.
Jon Hamm
Scott. Now, since you are levitating, when you shoot the windows out, does that. Does the equal and opposite reaction says, you got to go push back.
Steve Buscemi
A lot of times I'll shoot, and I'll just go wee and just go right up. It's very odd, but I have to do it. It's the only way to keep myself safe.
Jon Hamm
That's fair.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Steve Buscemi
Now, of course, Step seven. I'm in the bathroom. I will lock myself into the bathroom. Bathroom, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Steve Buscemi
This is where I close my eyes and take a load off. Because I'm safe.
Scott Aukerman
Scott, you're finally in your happy place.
Steve Buscemi
Finally relax.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Steve Buscemi
So of course, this is my meditation.
Scott Aukerman
Have you cleared the bathroom though, at this point?
Steve Buscemi
No. No. I don't even want to see what's in there. So my eyes are closed when I walk.
Scott Aukerman
So someone could be in the bathtub behind the curtain.
Steve Buscemi
This is really good. Let me write this down.
Bob Duca
Wouldn't that be where you go?
Jon Hamm
Here's how I would do it. I would look in, you know, I would wash my hands because obviously you getting ready to do something.
Steve Buscemi
Okay. How dare you.
Jon Hamm
And you would look. And you would look in the. In the bathroom mirror. You would open the mirror just to check and see if there's anything in there.
Scott Aukerman
See? It's a false front.
Jon Hamm
You never know.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, there could be like a big. There could be a Candyman style hole in, you know, behind the mirror.
Jon Hamm
Exactly. Or the guy, the. Yes, exactly.
Scott Aukerman
Someone hiding in the walls, you know, or something. Yeah, well, who, who hid in the walls in that one movie? Thank you, Bob.
Jon Hamm
I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's Kool Aid, man. You never know. Someone should come through a wall. Wall.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly.
Jon Hamm
Boy, when you close that, you close that medicine cabinet mirror. Watch out.
Scott Aukerman
Because there's usually something.
Jon Hamm
Usually someone's. Right.
Steve Buscemi
This is why I don't touch the medicine cabinet mirror. Gives a killer an opportunity to sneak up behind you.
Jon Hamm
Jump.
Scott Aukerman
Scare. Yes.
Steve Buscemi
So I don't do that. Of course. I shoot out the mirror so that there are no mirrors. Do my meditation now. Of course. Step eight. Classic Scott. I will disassociate.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, of course. Because this, the. The.
Steve Buscemi
The idea of. And piss is so disgusting to me that in order for me to clean it, I have to be in a complete F. Sure. So I disassociate. Step nine. I hit my head on the sink.
Scott Aukerman
Right. Before you've cleaned it. I can't remember.
Steve Buscemi
No, no, no. I haven't cleaned anything.
Scott Aukerman
You haven't cleaned anything. You're in the fuke state. You hit your head.
Steve Buscemi
I hit my head on the sink.
Jon Hamm
Is this because you've lost consciousness or is it something.
Steve Buscemi
I have lost consciousness. The blood has rushed away from my brain.
Bob Duca
Right.
Steve Buscemi
I hit my head on the sink. Step 10, I wake up and hope the bathroom is clean.
Scott Aukerman
Right. And if it's not?
Steve Buscemi
If it's not. Step 11, I burn the house to the ground.
Scott Aukerman
Right. Yes. This is the Mike Ruby promise.
Bob Duca
Wait.
Steve Buscemi
I burned the house to the ground. Maybe I did start the California fires.
Scott Aukerman
I was gonna say because you've talked about burning so many houses down to the ground.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah, I do a lot of work in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
Scott Aukerman
Why those two neighborhoods exclusively?
Steve Buscemi
They got.
Scott Aukerman
They're so far apart.
Steve Buscemi
The pipes are nasty. The pipes are nasty. These.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, they have bad pipes.
Steve Buscemi
They have bad.
Scott Aukerman
I've heard that about the Palisades.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, they got bad pipes.
Jon Hamm
Palisades. Rough pipes.
Scott Aukerman
Rough pipes.
Steve Buscemi
Rough pipes.
Scott Aukerman
So.
Steve Buscemi
So I guess I might be responsible for the. Huh.
Scott Aukerman
So all.
Steve Buscemi
Anyways, that. Those are my alleged.
Scott Aukerman
Anyways.
Jon Hamm
Anyway. Wait a minute. This was hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and lives ruined.
Bob Duca
Don't beat yourself up.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you, Bob.
Bob Duca
Don't be. Come on.
Steve Buscemi
I don't want to.
Jon Hamm
I mean, yes, we all make mistakes.
Scott Aukerman
We all make mistakes.
Steve Buscemi
We all make mistakes. That doesn't mean I should be the target of a serial killer.
Scott Aukerman
It also seems like a lot of your contemporaries might be dying when it's your fault that can't be traced.
Steve Buscemi
Well, no, when you think about it.
Scott Aukerman
It could be you've just said it on. You admitted it.
Steve Buscemi
If I did.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my God.
Jon Hamm
He admitted he did start the fire.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Jon Hamm
It wasn't always burning.
Steve Buscemi
Well, this is. Really.
Scott Aukerman
Every single line in that is the opposite he did for me. Yeah. So what are the. What?
Jon Hamm
It wasn't always burning.
Steve Buscemi
I know Marilyn Monroe was in there, but I don't know what the opposite of that is.
Jon Hamm
What's the opposite of chubby checker? Skinny Chess.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, my God. There's got to be a singer named Skinny Chess.
Steve Buscemi
That'd be really good, Scott. Well, you know damn well I'm sorry that's happening to my fellow plumbers out.
Scott Aukerman
There, but yeah, it should be happening to you. Honestly, I think you should go to the media. As they said in the movie Arthur. Alert, alert. Media.
Steve Buscemi
You think I should have learned the media, Scott?
Scott Aukerman
I do. You take the heat off your fellow.
Steve Buscemi
I've got so many plumbing appointments. I don't know if I can do that. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
I guess you are sitting pretty here.
Steve Buscemi
I'm sitting pretty. I've got a throne made of gold. And that throne is of course a toilet.
Scott Aukerman
Of course.
Steve Buscemi
This is tough, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
So now you're sighing.
Jon Hamm
Well now, out of exasperation.
Steve Buscemi
These are size of regret because I've realized I've put my fellow. My fellow plumber in danger.
Scott Aukerman
Scott.
Bob Duca
Well, not.
Jon Hamm
They're dead out of danger.
Bob Duca
Yeah, you're worried.
Scott Aukerman
I have one emotional state and it's just sighing.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, my God, you should see me when I'm jerking up.
Bob Duca
I have. I have a question. I have a question.
Scott Aukerman
Yes?
Bob Duca
Bob is there in piss in plumber heaven.
Steve Buscemi
Oh, God, I really hope so, Scott, you know, of course I.
Scott Aukerman
This is Bob. Who? Oh, Bob, my son.
Steve Buscemi
I thought he was Scott Junior.
Scott Aukerman
Papa.
Bob Duca
Let. Let him answer me, please. I need. I need my independence, man.
Steve Buscemi
I really hope there is. Of course, I'm a. I'm a plumber. Catholic. Of course.
Scott Aukerman
What does that mean?
Steve Buscemi
I believe in the holy Trinity, Scott. Shit, piss and puke. And I'm really hoping that those three things are there to greet me at the oily gates. And gosh, but you know what? I don't want to die, so I'm not trying to think about that thing. I'm trying to live.
Scott Aukerman
You might not. And in fact, I bet all four of us never do.
Jon Hamm
You know, I think just because having gone through this, that grants us limited immortality.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I think so.
Jon Hamm
You did a good thing today.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah.
Bob Duca
Oh, and I'm at the clinic. I'm. I'm gonna get his.
Jon Hamm
He's got. He's got some.
Scott Aukerman
Some medical.
Jon Hamm
A couple of lists that he could probably go through to tell you how to achieve a.
Scott Aukerman
You have a TV show coming?
Jon Hamm
I've got a show coming out, so I can't.
Scott Aukerman
You can't. Yeah. Premiere. You have SNL and this is the only plumber left.
Steve Buscemi
I. I can't be killed because if I would. If. If that does happen, this. The streets of LA will just be. I hate to say it, Scott, Covet.
Jon Hamm
And wow over flowing.
Scott Aukerman
Well, look, Mike, I'm sure nothing's going to happen to you before the end of the show and whoever has been xeroxing these notes at the Kinkos is probably not going to come in here and do anything.
Steve Buscemi
I really.
Scott Aukerman
And this certainly wasn't an elaborate trap. No.
Steve Buscemi
The doors are locked, right?
Scott Aukerman
I don't know. Yeah, maybe, but never locked. We are running out of time. We really only have time for one final feature on the show and that is of course a little something called Plug Bugs.
Jon Hamm
Fl.
Scott Aukerman
Didn't end with the fart noise. What is going on?
Jon Hamm
Delivered. Not delivered.
Scott Aukerman
That was PL Rock by Dantastique. Thank you to Dantastique. If you have a plug theme, head over to cbb world.com plugs you can upload it there and you can be famous for a week. And Dantastique, you are famous for a week.

Wow. The.
Jon Hamm

Scott Aukerman
Why only nine here? Like, if you.
Steve Buscemi
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
To get to 93 in Madman, you're gonna have to do 10. 10 and a half years of this.
Jon Hamm
Hey, your lips to God's ear, Scott.
Scott Aukerman
That would be nice.
Jon Hamm
Yes, indeed. Thank you very much.
Scott Aukerman
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone, though.
Jon Hamm
Listen, I. I'm not going anywhere.
Scott Aukerman
We hate to lose our LA actors. We like them here, right here in our hometown. But if you have to move to New York for a little while, you.
Jon Hamm
Know what, Los Angeles, Scott. A little show called the Morning Show. Hey, why can't two things be true?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, man. I think it's a pretty big show.
Jon Hamm
Like Colossus. I straddled the country. One foot on either coast.
Scott Aukerman
All right, Bob Tuka, do you have anything you want to plug?
Bob Duca
I want to plug an appearance on one of those Turkish hair transplant planes.
Scott Aukerman
Sure.
Jon Hamm
Plugs and plugs, plugs and plugs.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.

Scott Aukerman
All right, I'm slightly interested in that.
Bob Duca
And we're gonna. We're gonna learn to swim.
Scott Aukerman
You don't know how to swim or. I don't know how to swim?
Bob Duca
I don't know how to swim. Do you know how to swim?
Scott Aukerman
I don't. I don't know how to swim either. We can both just kind of flail around if you want.
Bob Duca
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, great. Nothing else to plug.
Bob Duca
I'll plug my friend. Show dinosaur at Largo at the Coronet once a month.
Scott Aukerman
Sure. Is there a podcast, maybe, that you might want to.
Jon Hamm
Sure.
Bob Duca
It's called. It's called College Town. I was getting there. I'm getting there. Come on, dad.
Scott Aukerman
If you don't plug your podcast, you're going to get a spanking.
Bob Duca
Young man, find all college towns on Comedy Bang Bang World. Are you happy now?
Scott Aukerman
Yes, I'm happy. Go straight up to your room.
Bob Duca
I'm getting my belly button pierced.
Scott Aukerman
Hell no. Mike, Ruby, anything you want to plug?
Steve Buscemi
Well, of course I'll be singing man and Me by Bob Dylan at Punani the porcelain princess's funeral.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay.
Steve Buscemi
This Sunday? Yeah, of course.
Jon Hamm
It's the least you could do.
Steve Buscemi

Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast – Episode Featuring Jon Hamm, Seth Morris, Shaun Diston
Release Date: March 31, 2025
In this vibrant 15th-anniversary episode of Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast, host Scott Aukerman welcomes the charismatic and multifaceted actor Jon Hamm. Known for his roles in Mad Men and various comedic ventures, Jon brings a blend of humor and intriguing discussions to the table. Accompanying him are recurring and eccentric characters, including Bob Duca and the unforgettable Steve Buscemi as Mike Ruby, the no-stank plumber.
Jon Hamm delves into his latest project, a television series titled "Your Friends and Neighbors," premiering on Apple TV Plus.

[31:20]
Scott Aukerman: "You want me to adopt you? Bob, first of all, you didn't even adopt me when you were married to my mother. I didn't want it because everybody was uptight about it."
[31:30]
Humorous Exchange: The conversation spirals into absurd recommendations for physical and mental regimens, including fictitious supplements and exaggerated workout routines.
Notable Quote:
Bob Duca: "Ultra water intravenous vitamin drip, ultravenous vitamin sploosh, testosterone, human growth hormone... As long as you film it."
[37:38]
Resolution: In a comedic twist, Scott reluctantly agrees to adopt Bob, leading to a mock "family reunion" filled with exaggerated physical comedy and slapstick humor.
Jon Hamm: "This is the happiest day of my life."
[47:34]
The episode crescendos with Steve Buscemi’s entrance as Mike Ruby, a flamboyant plumber embroiled in a fictional serial killer storyline targeting plumbers in Los Angeles.
