Episode Overview

This lively episode of Comedy Bang Bang is a quintessential mix of absurdist improv, genuine camaraderie, and laugh-out-loud storytelling led by host Scott Aukerman. The episode’s main theme is Eugene Mirman’s harrowing and comically recounted car accident—the “Eugene Mirman” move—plus the ever-expanding world of CBB-style character interviews, including a ghost expert and a returning seagull guest. The hour blends real-life events, comedic hypotheticals, musical theater, and meta-podcast gags.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Eugene Mirman’s Car Accident: “Pulling a Eugene Mirman”

(Starts ~02:30)

• Eugene recounts his high-profile accident: On March 31, he blacked out and crashed into an unmanned toll booth (07:01). The car subsequently burst into flames; Eugene was rescued and hospitalized with a concussion, broken wrist, ribs, and sternum.
  • “A lot of people do ram into that toll booth, but not as many as don’t.” —Eugene Mirman (07:34)
• Ongoing medical uncertainty: Mirman suggests possible causes, including arrhythmia, sleep apnea, distraction, or mysterious marmalade (09:41).
• Public and industry response: The accident became national—and international—news, with rumors swirling across celebrity media.
• Funny aftershocks:
  • Eugene’s hospital story included hearing his own news coverage from his roommate's loud radio and being recognized: “Hey, are you the guy from the crash? And I was like, I am.” (21:41)
  • Comic hypotheticals about Bob’s Burgers’ “succession plan”: Would his character, Gene, be recast or killed off? (15:06)
    • "In the cartoons, nobody ages... you can't just jump two years." —Eugene Mirman (17:00)
• Mortality & reflection: Eugene talks candidly about loss, gratefulness, and already “living with intention” after the earlier tragedy of losing his first wife (26:07).
• Takeaway vibe: Surreal acceptance blended with signature comic whimsy.

2. Comedy Discussions & Special Plugs

• Eugene’s New Special: "Here Comes the Whimsy" (out on YouTube).
  • “If it was your last word... would it sum up your career?” (17:44)
• Titans of Comedy: Callback to a 2013 CBB episode branding Mirman, Anthony Jeselnik, and Nathan Fielder as the "Titans of Comedy." (04:06)

3. Ghost Expert Interview (Devin Greenglove / Will Hines)

(Starts ~36:21)

• Outlandish Irish accent + character: Devin, from the island of Grumbledom, specializes in folklore, ghost stories, and local tours.
• Ghost masturbation & favorite ghost tales:
  • Patty Greenley, the juice-throwing maid, serves as the tour’s main haunting—a ghost that douses misbehaving children with juice (39:40).
  • “If juice came out of nowhere... I'd be like, that's probably a ghost. Or maybe invisible monkeys.” —Eugene Mirman (42:32)
• Comedy detour on senses: Philosophical debate on whether all five senses collapse into “touch,” thanks to light/sound/particle theory (44:41).

4. Ghostbusters, Ghost Sex & Movie Logic

(Starts ~47:02)

• Bit on the Ghostbusters ghost blowjob scene:

  • The panel discusses, then attempts to reenact (with multiple missed cues and over-explanation), the infamous “ghost BJ” scene from Ghostbusters. Meta-humor on improv and misunderstanding rules ensues.
  • “I was more upset with you for not getting the whole concept of the switch.” —Scott Aukerman, scolding Devin (52:09)
  • “When I was Ackroyd, I did get aroused.” —Eugene Mirman (52:25)

• Devin’s sexual ghost performative tale: Turns into an argument with a ghost about the Ghostbusters sequel patches, resulting in Devin “banishing” the ghost after being insulted about his small penis (53:00+).

5. Seagull Returns: Louis Pentano / Erin Keif

(Starts ~68:11)

• Fan-favorite bird character: Louis “the struggling showbiz seagull” is back, desperate for an entertainment break and plagued by imposter syndrome. Offers an audition for Eugene’s role on Bob’s Burgers (“Pretty good!”), mulls reboots, and explores the identity crisis of animal actors.
• Showbiz realities: A musical tour de force follows when Louis performs the entire rapid-fire opening number from “The Music Man” solo (83:12–85:20), nearly passing out mid-song.
  • “You cannot drive and do a patter song at the same time. That is too dangerous.” —Louis Pentano (86:45)
• Bittersweet arc: Louis is briefly hired as the “floating juice tray” on Devin’s ghost tour, but is then fired live for revealing trade secrets (97:42).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Scott’s empathy & meta-commentary:
  • “You must have some inkling of how loved and respected you are within the community.” —Scott to Eugene (23:11)
• Eugene on living with loss:
  • “I truly didn’t need another life lesson of how valuable life is because I was all set.” (26:14)
• Absurd improv at its best:
  • “Would I lie to you? You could tell stories about being a bird.” —Scott (89:34)
  • “Are there ghosts of leprechauns?” —Scott
    “Yes, there are. Of course.” —Devin (57:14)

Flow & Tone

The entire episode is a masterclass in CBB’s improvisational, referential, and surrealist humor. The tone remains buoyant and irreverently silly even when addressing serious real-life events (like Mirman’s accident or grief). Mirman, Aukerman, and the guests continually riff and build, with frequent callbacks, running gags, and gentle skewering of podcast, TV, and film logic. The show transitions effortlessly from “real” interviews to deep character work, culminating in a musical-theater fever dream and plenty of meta-podcast humor.

---

Final Takeaway

If you’re a CBB fan, this episode offers everything: real-life drama and comic recovery, deep cut-callbacks and world-building, memorable side characters, musical showcases, and triumphant bits that toe the line between standup and sketch. It’s as much a tribute to Eugene Mirman’s enduring wit and resiliency as it is to the anarchic, big-hearted community that Comedy Bang Bang cultivates.

She sells big bells by the bell store and my ears are ringing. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you. To Attila the Hyundai. Is that how you pronounce that? Hyundai?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you very much. You're my fact checker for today's episode. Yes. A lot of times I'll say stuff that I get details wrong.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mispronounce words. I need you here for me today. Okay.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'll validate it. All right.

[Louis Pentano]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Fantastic. I love this.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just tell me I'm right even if I'm wrong. That's what I really want.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. More importantly, I won't look into it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. I appreciate this. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. My name is Scott Aukerman. We have an exceptional show coming up a little later. We have a ghost expert. We also have a bird. A ghost expert and a bird coming up a little later on the show. But let's get to the. The person whose dulcet tones you just heard. One of the deeper voices in comedy. Would you agree?

[Eugene Mirman]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you gonna fact check this?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, tell me.

[Eugene Mirman]

Tell me what tones of everyone's voice and then be like, oh, I am the deepest.

[Scott Aukerman]

Tell me someone deeper.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know because of how I don't have a list of deep voice.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I mean, like, can you think of anyone who's, you know, you know, like, if this were an acapella group, you would all know exactly where you fit in. You know, comedy is certainly not acapella. Proof. That's not what I'm saying.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, but let me think. If I can think of someone with A deeper voice. But you mean specifically, of course, a stand up with a deeper voice.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, exactly. Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Or I guess what if I'm the deepest voiced stand up?

[Scott Aukerman]

I think you might be. I can't think of a single other one.

[Eugene Mirman]

All right, you know what? I don't know why. I will take that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Imitate another comedian. I'll just throw me. Yeah, yeah. Eddie Murphy, go.

[Eugene Mirman]

Hi, I'm Eddie Murphy. I am in a tight, tight red suit and I. Yes. Is it. Would you describe my impression as dead on? You know how most comedians simply describe what they're wearing and then go home?

[Scott Aukerman]

Have a good night, everyone.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah. I'm. I'm America's deepest voiced comedian. I think you might put that on like a. Like a. Now a funny headshot where I have like a chef's hat.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. And like maybe a little version of you peeking out from underneath the chef's hat, like ratatouille, but you're just like miniature.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little.

[Scott Aukerman]

No explanation.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, no. People know the show they're getting when they go see that comic live.

[Scott Aukerman]

He is a stand up comedian, as mentioned. He is an actor. He has a new special called Here Comes the Whimsy, which is out now on YouTube. Please welcome back to the show Eugene Mirman, one of the titans of comedy.

[Eugene Mirman]

Hel. Hello.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you remember you're one of the titans of comedy?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who were the others? It was Anthony Jeselnick.

[Eugene Mirman]

It is, yes. It's basically me and then people who have very beautifully crafted dark one liners.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, it was. I'm looking at the episode now. This is an episode from March 7, 2013, and it is Anthony Jeselnik, Nathan Fielder and you.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or the titans of comedy. We branded you as the titans of comedy.

[Eugene Mirman]

Excellent. That is excellent. I am in great company.

[Scott Aukerman]

Have you guys been touring together? Have you?

[Eugene Mirman]

No, but I would. They're. They're fantastic. Yes. I adore them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Eugene, welcome back to the show. Anything been going on with you?

[Eugene Mirman]

Nope. Nothing in the news.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's not the answer I usually get when I ask a friend. Anything going on with you? Nothing in the news.

[Eugene Mirman]

That makes me feel like there Something in the news. I'm redoing the. I'm. I've been hired to redo the west wing of the White House. Really? And here's the thing. I don't know what I'm doing, but

[Scott Aukerman]

he was at no bid contract.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, no, I just got it. I just got it because I was like, I have an idea. No, what's going on with me. Well, I have a new special out that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

New special. Here comes the whimsy. And this details your life probably from birth up till about what, a month or two ago.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yes. I mean, yeah. Taped it last year.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. What is the date that your life took a radical left turn?

[Eugene Mirman]

March 31st.

[Scott Aukerman]

You mean March 31st. Yes, that's right.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

The last day of March.

[Eugene Mirman]

The last day of March. Yeah, that's what you mean.

[Scott Aukerman]

They say beware the ides of March, but you had to look out for 16 days after it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Yes, exactly. Yes, I was in a terrible car accident. Is that.

[Scott Aukerman]

That is what I'm hinting around that is it national headlines, perhaps even international headlines. Did you see any international headlines of like.

[Eugene Mirman]

I haven't probably Eugene Merman. Yes, Shaboom. Yes, yes, exactly. It was covered. It was covered in all in like very fun, like, vibrant Italian press and a lot of like, uh, oh, mamma mia, Eugene. Yeah, exactly. Here he's not the voice of Gene, but imagine if he was, how sad that would be. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You, you, Eugene, if you don't know, if you're not out there scanning TMZ, the 30 mile zone, of course.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or any of the national press, you may not know that on March 31, Eugene Merman pulled what we like to call a Eugene Merman by.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, it's like, it's terrible when you do a bit and you're like, I can't even explain it.

[Scott Aukerman]

By ramming his car. Ramming is fair to say.

[Eugene Mirman]

Right. So, yeah, I mean, yes, it probably is. I. I drove and again, I don't remember it. So I don't know if I was potentially like blacked out or unconscious or

[Scott Aukerman]

did it on purpose.

[Eugene Mirman]

No. Yeah. Yes. So the chances of it being on purpose are, I would say, very slight. Like, meaning I knowing your personality. So, so, yeah, so like. And I talked to the policeman who saw the video of the toll booth and it sounds like the car you

[Scott Aukerman]

ramped into a toll booth.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes, yes. Which. Look, here's the thing. A lot of people do ram into that toll booth, but not as many as don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. It's probably a 0.001%.

[Eugene Mirman]

There is probably cars that pass by it. Many people pass by. Some ram it, rarely in the afternoon, quickly. So there's a version where I was either distracted or blacked out or something happened with the car. Like, I don't know. And I don't know that I'll ever.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you spoke to the policeman who saw the video, you were saying.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, and I spoke to him in general, and he. And I think in the hospital, I had said that I. You know, I remember looking at the map and, you know, I don't know if there's, like, a quick turn and it comes up quickly. I don't really know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think there was someone in the toll booth that you were.

[Eugene Mirman]

There's no person in the toll booth.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's.

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay, so it's an unmanned toll booth, so I was the only one in it, luckily.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it was not attempted murder. No.

[Eugene Mirman]

I wasn't, like, mad at a toll booth guy who'd really gotten me in 1981.

[Scott Aukerman]

And by the way, you are. You are under oath.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. So I figured podcasts traditionally are under oath.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. You write your own book to do the oath on which. What is this? This is the Unbearable Lightness of Being.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. Yeah. But that's what I do my oath on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And so you ram into this toll booth. That's not the end of the story. Because that would be the end of the story for a lot of people of, like.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, that's beginning.

[Scott Aukerman]

I got into a fender bender with this tollbooth. You ram into the toll booth. You are unconscious. It perhaps makes you unconscious, or perhaps you are unconscious.

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, it probably helps continue. Yes. It's unclear whether you passed out and

[Scott Aukerman]

that's what caused it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Even, like, is it like, did I pass out for three seconds?

[Scott Aukerman]

And then I believe there's an ER episode where someone passes out in the car and rams into something and they do a battery of tests. I hope they did a battery.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes, yes. I. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And they were like, oh, my God. This accident, which everyone thought you were drunk for, actually was you passing out and is. Has let us see that you have a major medical problem that we need to fix.

[Eugene Mirman]

Did anything like that. We're in the process of figuring out if I have. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like, the tests don't come back as soon as they do on tv.

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, they do if you edit the whole thing together.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, we should do that.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. But, yes, I am trying to figure out if, in fact, I have an arrhythmia or if I have, like, sleep apnea or if there's a thing that could have medically contributed.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you may have been passed out before running into it, or you may have run into it from a whoopsie of types of like. Of, like, you know, like, you spilled, you know, sticky Coke on your hands

[Eugene Mirman]

and tried to grasp it. I might have been trying to. Playing with Marmalade. I might have been eating marmalade out of a jar with my hand and I was like, oh, my hand's sticky. And I'm like, distracted. But again, there was no marmalade found.

[Scott Aukerman]

You may have eaten it all, though. Have you thought about that?

[Eugene Mirman]

It's true that it's possible I ate a whole jar of marmalade and was confused out of my mind,

[Scott Aukerman]

but. So you may have lost control, you may have become unconscious. But then what happens is. And I have not seen this anywhere but in the movies.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

The car bursts into flames.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know exactly when because I'm not burn, so. Right. And here's the thing. I haven't looked up the stories to be like, oh, I made it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Have you watched the video?

[Eugene Mirman]

No, because I don't know, it's probably quite disturbing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Yeah. There's some. Some trauma that you don't need.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. So I haven't.

[Scott Aukerman]

You already have enough trauma regarding the incident and I have to answer questions on a stupid podcast about it, but I'm happy to.

[Eugene Mirman]

But like, I had a concussion, but the concussion was basically, was like, I don't remember the accident. I know that, you know, when I was pulled out, I.

[Scott Aukerman]

The car. The car is on fire and you are pulled out of it.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know if I was pulled out. I don't know how much the car was under fire when I was pulled out, but it was probably. I remember being in the ambulance and seeing my car on fire and being like, oh, I'm glad I'm not there. And then I remember thinking like, ah, this is definitely not a dream. This is like.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you woke up in the ambulance. I thought you would have woken up in the. In the hospital. So you.

[Eugene Mirman]

I mean, I briefly remember it and then the next thing I remember was the hospital. But I put it together. I was like. I was like, oh, this ambulance took me to a hospital.

[Scott Aukerman]

So this is what I wanted to ask because, like, you see this in movies and TV all the time. The person waking up in the hospital and then, you know. But you, you. When you woke up in the hospital, you got it. You.

[Eugene Mirman]

I had, I had known that. I mean, again, I was sort of confused. I couldn't remember why I was where I was. And now then I was like, oh, yeah, I was going to Vermont.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why? And why were you going to Vermont?

[Eugene Mirman]

Are you on a DARE service?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Eugene Mirman]

I was going to Julie Smith Glenn's home, who, you know, directed the special and we have a label together along with Our friend Adity and the three of us were meeting up to, you know, work on stuff related to putting out the special and album.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then you. You don't arrive at this pre planned meeting.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, because I made a stop. I decided to stop at a hospital for several days.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now this has happened to me occasionally where someone doesn't show up where and when they're supposed to be there and the mind starts kind of going like, is this person all right? They're not answering their phone.

[Eugene Mirman]

So I think what actually happened was whoever pulled me out or I think a few people pulled me out, but one of them asked me if I like for a phone number and I though I had a concussion and was baffled.

[Scott Aukerman]

They wanted.

[Eugene Mirman]

I remembered my wife's phone number and so I gave it to them. They called my wife and then she called and let. And so then Julian Adity came to meet me at the hospital which got it. You know, so, so it all. We didn't. Not that we like were like, okay, let's finish our meeting.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did the. Whatever you were meeting about, was that ever resolved?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes, yes. We ended up. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I just want to make sure.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, don't worry. I got to. I signed vinyl, that will that was mailed out a week later.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, good, good.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. So everything worked out. Don't worry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Can you imagine if, if this had a different outcome and you didn't get to sign that vinyl.

[Eugene Mirman]

I know. And then people had paid for it and then you have to refund it. And then my final special is called Here Comes the Whimsy and I'm. And it's just so sad. So I'm like, obviously, like, so like lucky. And I have no idea what happened or what caused it. And I think like, you know, there's guesses of what again, like I'll be able to. Even if I find out that I have a heart condition. I don't know that that's what happened then. It's just that I have a heart condition.

[Scott Aukerman]

You just have to guess on all this kind of stuff.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I mean, and all I can do is be like, well, if I was distracted, I'm not.

[Scott Aukerman]

I probably won't be like, yeah, has it. Have you thought about getting behind the wheel again?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes, I drove.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Eugene Mirman]

I mean the first time was, I don't know, week or two later where I literally moved the car from down the street to our like parking to our drive.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you have any kind of like.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, I was like, this is fine. And then the next day I like drove my Son to school and I was like, this is fine. And then we had planned and then

[Scott Aukerman]

a couple of days later you're just like on your phone while you're driving.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, yeah. Yes, yes. Well, no, I, it took me a while, but I looked to see if I had any incoming or outgoing emails or texts. Right, right that time. And I didn't. So I know that like that wasn't a thing, but I, you know, I, I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

And if, if it had gone the other way and we're so, so glad that it didn't.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was there a plan in place for like Bob's Burgers? Is there a line of succession? Like, does Dan Mintz get to like go up and start doing your part and someone takes over his or what?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I don't know. I, I, I, I haven't inquired as to who they would get, but yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is there someone out there with another deep voice in comedy who does like

[Eugene Mirman]

a kid who plays a high voiced kid? I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Has anyone ever had to re, like do a couple of lines for Eugene on or. No, sorry, Gene is the character name on Box Burgers. Indistinguishable, but you know what I mean, where like, oh, you're not available because you're in Bali or something and they go, oh, get this guy to do.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, I don't believe so.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've done 100% of the dialogue.

[Eugene Mirman]

I believe that's true. I believe.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you. And there supposedly is no plan in place. The producers.

[Eugene Mirman]

I am unaware though, who knows if now there's a backup because, you know,

[Scott Aukerman]

I've always said this. I feel like, you know, you don't want the West Wing effect to happen where like one of the main actors passes away and then you're unprepared and they were only like five or six episodes away from the show ending. I've always said that any actor on a show needs to come in on their first day and film a scene of them clutching their heart going so that it can be incorporated into the show little bit later?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes, I guess that's, we do that on Bob's. I mean they have a lot of us just going, ah, right. Yeah. I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think that, would you prefer that they kill off your character in Bob's Burgers? Were you to, were you to no longer be here?

[Eugene Mirman]

No, no, I, I probably.

[Scott Aukerman]

You want him to go on?

[Eugene Mirman]

I want, yeah, I want.

[Scott Aukerman]

That would be a tragedy for the family, wouldn't it?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. So, so I don't know that what Bob's needs is a deep, deep tragedy where, like, the middle child dies episodes are not about it, but, like, always. Hint. It just.

[Scott Aukerman]

I feel like there's an easy fix, which is like he dies and then cut to. It just says cut to two years later. That way there is, like, we don't have to see the grieving process, you know, and it's.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, but here's the thing. In the cartoons, nobody ages, so. So two years later, what are you then making everybody older? I don't think you're doing that.

[Scott Aukerman]

That would be fun, though, wouldn't it? See everyone two years later. I mean, how old is Kristen's character?

[Eugene Mirman]

I believe she's nine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Be great to see her at 11.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know. She's so perfect at nine.

[Scott Aukerman]

I know, but I mean, it would be kind of fun to see her, like, entering sixth grade.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Yes, it would.

[Scott Aukerman]

And all that that entails. It's middle school.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, first day of middle school. I think this is a good idea.

[Eugene Mirman]

Every episode is first day of middle school, right? Yeah. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And so your special, you don't. You don't address it in the special.

[Eugene Mirman]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Because it happened beforehand.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I taped it.

[Scott Aukerman]

What is. What is like the. If it was your last word. We. We mentioned how weird that would be if this was, like, the last special you ever put out.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Yeah. Now I'm gonna at least quickly try to make another one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Is there. Is there anything at the end of the special that would sum up your career? Like, if it had to be. Had to have been the last one, like, you know, or is the last line of the special just kind of goofy and you're like, well, that's the last thing we ever hear from.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think the last part of the special is people tap D. Really?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. That's fun.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's good.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. See, I would describe it even as whimsical.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think you would have made the In Memoriam? Do you.

[Eugene Mirman]

Do you, you know. Oh, no. Oh, at the Emmys, I bet you would have Emmys. Maybe. Yes. I know you would have Emmys, maybe. Yeah. Because. But I'm not in. I'm not in it. I've been like. But you think one and a half movies or something.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Oscars, you wouldn't know.

[Eugene Mirman]

There's no, like, there's no version.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about the Grammys? Latin Grammys?

[Eugene Mirman]

Latin Grammys, Maybe. I wonder if I would make, like, the People's Choice Award in Memorial. Do they have an In Memoriam have

[Scott Aukerman]

you ever won a People's Choice Award?

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't think I've been nominated, but maybe Bob's has.

[Louis Pentano]

Probably.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, probably.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think I said. I think I said probably because Bob is in probably.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. I don't know. But, you know, I now want to make a list of organizations that I think would wish me well if I died. It is slightly interesting experiencing almost your own funeral because lots of people reached out and it's like, oh, this is what it would have been like if I had died. But everyone's like, and he didn't die.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, no one's disappointed.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think they also, like, the amount the news and the fire or whatever was so insane. And then I'm kind of like, I mean, I had a concoction and I fractured.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's not like you had a heart attack and everyone hears about it and goes, oh, my God. You know, it was just so crazy to. To I, you know, to read it in the news first.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, before anyone reach. Because sometimes there's a little bit of a, you know, a game of telephone with comedians of, like, did you hear about this?

[Eugene Mirman]

Did you hear about this?

[Scott Aukerman]

It was pure, like, tmz, like, what the fuck just happened?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. And it was also, obviously so insane because, like, I also have no idea what happened or caused it.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, I reached out to my friend who works on Bob's Burger Burgers just to, yes. You know, see what. What he knew about it. And, you know, and so I got a little more information.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. Because I was supposed to record the next day, and I couldn't. And so I. Yeah, so. So we. I call, like, my wife called Bob's and let them know. And then. So everyone there knew I was basically fine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Fine.

[Eugene Mirman]

But. But, you know, obviously.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you're. And you're like, you're not burned up or anything like that, and you basically wake up in the hospital.

[Eugene Mirman]

How.

[Scott Aukerman]

How long are.

[Eugene Mirman]

Was there for? Essentially three days, two and a half days.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why. Why so long if there wasn't?

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, because I broke my wrist and then I. So I broke my wrist and had surgery on it. Oh, okay. And I had fractured or broken two ribs in my sternum and had a concussion and maybe like a bruised lung. Like, there was. I wasn't, like, not injured, but I wasn't, like, so injured that once I had surgery and it's. And. And also there's the person next to me who was very nice man, but also he listened to the news very loud. So every day I would hear My story of my car accident, very loudly, with new pieces of information added each day. And so it was like, you know, at first, it's like, you know, the governor's details saves this man from a burning car, and then it's like, good news. That man is Eugene Burbank. That's what we were. When I was filling out, like, the discharge hospital papers, it was the story of it being me finally revealed, as if it was, like, the funnest thing in the world.

[Scott Aukerman]

We got a great big surprise for everyone.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. You could know his voice.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. So that was. That was fun.

[Scott Aukerman]

And did the guy in the bed next to you who was hearing this news, did he ever go, like, wait a minute.

[Devin Greenglove]

Are you.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. So, like, after maybe the second day or something, he's like, hey, are you the guy from the crash? And I was like, I am.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's the guy who called tmz, didn't he?

[Eugene Mirman]

No, I think TMZ just called the hospitals in the area, and I don't know how many there are. Maybe it was the first or third call.

[Scott Aukerman]

So do they. Do they know it's you and they're calling hospitals in the area, or are they just calling?

[Eugene Mirman]

I think they're calling and asking for Eugene Mirman apparent. And then. And then, you know, and the nurses were so sweet, and the staff there was so sweet. And then when that happened, and I was sort of visibly shaken, they were like, we can make you a private patient. And I was like, oh, what's that? And they're like, well, where nobody can call you, and then you can make even a password for people to come. But then, of course, the only people actually visiting are, like, my friends and family. So it's like, very funny where, like, the next day they asked my brother for the password, and he's like, what password? And then. So they have to come to me, be like, this guy is your brother? And I was like, yes, yes, please, Please let him visit me. Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although it would be really fun, though, if the TMZ guy says, like, you

[Eugene Mirman]

know, I'm his brother, and call probably hospitals and has to speak to me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Eugene Mirman]

But, yeah, but they reacted very quickly. And then after that, it was probably hard to call.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I mean, is a bizarre thing. I'm sure, to go through something like this, hopefully decades away from when.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, it'll happen for real, you know?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. I Hope that in 51 years, when I'm 102, I do it again.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Eugene Mirman]

And whatever, you know, that'll be my.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that's the final chapter.

[Eugene Mirman]

Exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you must have some inkling of how loved and respected you are within the community.

[Eugene Mirman]

And yes, there was a very sweet outpouring and lots of people texting and. Yeah. Yes, there was great.

[Scott Aukerman]

And we don't always know that. We sometimes can be like, I wonder what other people. People think about me. I bet they talk shit about me all the time. And then you find out that, no, actually they, they enjoy your company and respect you, and we are very glad that you're here and not, you know, wherever we. Did you get any kind of, like, glimpse into the great beyond? Did you, like, go towards a light or anything like that?

[Eugene Mirman]

No. I mean, look, is it really tempting to be like, I spoke to God and he told me these things, and you have to follow my new cult

[Scott Aukerman]

and be like stone tablets?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, exact. As you guys can imagine, I'm fireproof. So I think we should do everything I say.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I, I mean, like, no, it was just dreamland.

[Eugene Mirman]

That was it. I mean, I, Yeah, I was just unconscious and then conscious and, and very confused and very, like, upset and dramatized, but not.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

You know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think you'll ever go through that toll booth again?

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, here's the thing. The funding already exists to remove it. It, like, meaning by the Even, like, because a lot of people do crash into it. Not like, again, more than toads.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Eugene Mirman]

But, but, but the funding is there to remove the toll booth.

[Scott Aukerman]

So this was already in the works.

[Eugene Mirman]

Because I think it's not. I think it's an unhelpful thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Does it collect money or.

[Eugene Mirman]

I believe it does through some sort.

[Scott Aukerman]

You should get, like, a free pass through this for the rest of your life.

[Eugene Mirman]

I mean, I, I, I wish there were ceremonies for removing a toll booth, because I would absolutely attend, but I can't.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you would, like, what's the reverse of cutting a big ribbon seal a red tape together?

[Eugene Mirman]

I would gladly be there for the unveiling of no toll booth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I mean, you're like, the patron saint of that area now. I bet they should erect, like, a statue there.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know. I mean, all I did is. Do you think people were crashing to

[Scott Aukerman]

the statue then or.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, I don't think they should. Well, maybe they put the statue on the side of the highway, so I wouldn't want to do a thing where, like, we've replaced this now with a statue. You have to dodge. But. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, congratulations, Eugene. That's, it's, it's at least an interesting experience. I know you probably were in some pain.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you seem, you seem okay now.

[Eugene Mirman]

I am. I am. Relatively. I mean, I think I'm just so thankful and I am. Yeah. Much more okay than one would imagine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

From whatever.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was there anything not, not to continue dwelling on this, but was, Was there anything that you were like, oh, shit, now I really know I need to put this bit of my affairs in order or something.

[Eugene Mirman]

So. So this is sort of the, the truth is, as you know, like my first wife died from cancer.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Eugene Mirman]

So I had already prioritized my life in a way of what was sort of important and meaningful to me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Eugene Mirman]

So I truly didn't need another life lesson of how valuable life is because I was all set. So. So now, oh, life is super duper precious and it's just like, I don't know. Yeah. So the irony is I already like, I live, you know, in like a place near friends and family and I already sort of prioritize the things.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you feel like, who's that dude in the Bible? Job? Right.

[Eugene Mirman]

I mean, he's certainly in the Bible, but I don't know enough to, you

[Scott Aukerman]

know, where it's just like, man, why is all this shit happening to me? And then you look at. I'm trying to think of anyone else in comedy who just has an easy time of it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, I don't know. I imagine everyone in comedy. No one has an easy time.

[Scott Aukerman]

They're all one of the other titans of comedy. Like, oh boy, why didn't this happen to Nathan Fielder?

[Eugene Mirman]

Anthony? Oh, I don't know. People would be, it can't happen to Nathan Fielder because people would be like, this is for. He's recreating a toll crash. He's going to recreate my thing. That'll be his series will be him rebuilding that toll booth on a stretch of highway in Indiana.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, the special is Here Comes the Whimsy and it's getting great reviews all across the board. It's on YouTube and it's free to watch or it's $2,000 of you.

[Eugene Mirman]

My recouping plan is. Yeah, I just need 17 people and

[Scott Aukerman]

there's no GoFundMe or anything for you

[Eugene Mirman]

or there is no. Oh, sorry, that was too dramatic.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was really forceful.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I just. No, I haven't. That's. You mean for the special or for just.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, just for you. I mean, you're a Holly. You have a part on a long running sitcom.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I have healthcare through SAG Aftra as I imagine a Lot of us do.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're saying that we tie healthcare into people's jobs, isn't it?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes. Though I think until I'm separate 65, I'll have healthcare, and then I probably have to just never crash again, however it works.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think. Do you. Do you think you will drive now and have you been driving with extra care or have you just slipped right back into the old, like.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I mean, I think we were driving recently and I, like, let probably like five cars in front of me, and my wife's like, what are you doing? And I'm like, I'm just very, very careful. But, yeah, I mean, that's the thing. Like, I think I'm, you know, I'm gonna. Like, all the things that could have caused this are basically like. Like me being distracted, something medically with me or something with the car or probably some.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's not like another car.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, there was a car. Yeah. I wasn't trying to stop or jerking in any way, which means. I don't know, it was probably in some sort of auto drive. Probably, but not definitely. But it doesn't. But again, because I wouldn't intentionally drive quickly into a toll booth smoothly, I have to imagine it was probably in some sort of mode like that. And then probably something happened to me to not make me stop it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe you thought it was something else, though, and you were like, it's true

[Eugene Mirman]

that there could have been a glare. It's not impossible that there was some sort of glare and that the.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't mean it was empty road. I mean. No, no, but you thought it was like something that you Like a duck or something that you wanted to kill.

[Eugene Mirman]

I mean, a toll booth. It is possible that there's some sort of turn in the way the sun, you know. Anyway, these are all possibilities. There was a thing with, like, the insurance claim where you basically have to be like, Am I 50.1% responsible? And I had to be like, yeah. I mean, no one else was driving. Even if it's all these other things, I can't be like, well, it wasn't me. I'm 10% responsible.

[Scott Aukerman]

Shaggy defense. It wasn't me.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Well, here comes the whimsy is out right now, and I implore everyone to see it. There's no better time than watching Eugene do comedy. I. I've. I've been seeing you since. God, now for 25 years. I feel like. I think. I think I saw you out here at the Knitting Factory opening for Stella.

[Eugene Mirman]

Stella, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. You know, and it's it's just one of the most unique minds in comedy. And honestly, he's one of the titans of comedy, which says a lot. He does. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we have a ghost expert. We also have a bird. Great. Does that sound good?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, it doesn't sound good. It sounds great.

[Scott Aukerman]

You can get it on YouTube. What are we talking about? 60 Minutes? 61, 62.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I forget its exact length. I think it's somewhere in the 56.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that one of the things you forgot in the accident?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I forget the exact length of my special. That's the. I have a concussion and I forgot the accident. And the exact time length of my special.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, well let me look it up for you. And here comes the whimsy.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, it happens to be 57 minutes. It's 15 seconds.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm gonna have to click on it in order to figure this out. People in this room. And that's the first line of the special.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, that's John Hodgman introducing me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, John Hodgman. Our good friend John Hodgman who owns a boat. It is 55 minutes and two seconds okay?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, that's pretty reasonable.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Now I'm gonna ask you again and see if you remember how long is your special.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't want to get this wrong. I believe it is 55 minutes and 2 seconds.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow. Okay, great. So there's no long lasting damage here, neurological damage?

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, what we don't know is do I still have short term memory? You'll have to ask me at the end.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I'll ask you at the end and see if you remember.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is a good test. Okay, we need to get to our next guest. He's a ghost expert. Please welcome to the show, Devin Green.

[Louis Pentano]

Hello.

[Devin Greenglove]

Scott Aukerman. Great to be here.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, what an interesting accent or dialect.

[Devin Greenglove]

It's a little hard to pin down in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Where. Where are you from? It sounds a bit Irish.

[Devin Greenglove]

It's a bit. It's mostly Irish.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm on a wee island to the west of Ireland.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Although I should tell you it's a. It's. It's a metropolitan area and I've been told many accents are in play.

[Scott Aukerman]

I see. Okay. Well, it's.

[Eugene Mirman]

It's.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that's where you were born.

[Devin Greenglove]

And that's why I was. What's born and raised.

[Scott Aukerman]

Island's name.

[Devin Greenglove]

Grumbledom.

[Scott Aukerman]

Grumbledom. Wow.

[Eugene Mirman]

Is that near Dingle?

[Devin Greenglove]

I think it is, yeah. I'm not much of. Not much one for geography, I'm afraid, but I believe it is.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. People famously don't know the geography.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's pretty far from.

[Devin Greenglove]

It's pretty far west. Well, I know Grumbledom, but once you leave that island, you know, it's a bit foggy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it's so nice to have you on the show. Is it? It really is.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, it's great to hear that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seems like it's a surprise to you.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm not sure it's my first time in America, so I heard you were a bit prickly here.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no, not really.

[Devin Greenglove]

Use a country.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, oh, oh, okay. That can be true.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

But no, here at Comedy Bang Bang, this is the show where we talk to interesting people.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, well, I'm one of them. I think. So. That's.

[Scott Aukerman]

I hope so. Let's hear your details and I'll. We'll judge it.

[Devin Greenglove]

After that you make a proclamation. When I'm finished. If I was indeed interested.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. Now you are a ghost expert, which seems interesting to me so far.

[Devin Greenglove]

Looking up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. So tell me about what you're an expert on. On.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I'm A history of folklore and ghost tales and sightings and hauntings. And then my home island of Grimbledom, I give tours to the. Because there's many.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, it seems so soon for you to move on to your side business.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like, we haven't explored, like, you know,

[Devin Greenglove]

let's stay on folk. No. Great. Of course. That will put a pin in that.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what I mean? I mean, like.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm barely just registering.

[Devin Greenglove]

I didn't mean to Russia. Let's let it soak in.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I would love that.

[Devin Greenglove]

Now, I'm a man of mostly Irish accent from an island.

[Scott Aukerman]

Eugene, do you believe in ghosts?

[Devin Greenglove]

Be honest.

[Eugene Mirman]

No.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay. All right.

[Eugene Mirman]

But I believe that there's things that we don't know. Okay, but they're probably not ghosts. We know that that's not real.

[Devin Greenglove]

We don't know. Well, let's keep the first part there.

[Scott Aukerman]

So.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, but.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you believe that you are in contact with ghosts.

[Devin Greenglove]

I have been in contact with many ghosts.

[Louis Pentano]

Ghosts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so you're not just an expert on them. You. You actually correspond with them or.

[Devin Greenglove]

I have corresponded many. A pen pal.

[Eugene Mirman]

Are there things they can tell you that you would otherwise not be able to know?

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes, very much. I love. I love talking to ghosts. They know so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

They know so much. Yeah. Are you. You know, we've talked about several times about how putting on a show for the ghosts sure is masturbating. Are they.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's how I think of it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that.

[Eugene Mirman]

Is it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do they. When they talk to you, do they say they love it?

[Devin Greenglove]

They love watching people masturbate and they report in. They're so tickled by it.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, they like the different people's styles.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. Yes. And only really they have the knowledge of that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And what is the first ghost that you ever either saw or heard or.

[Devin Greenglove]

So many experience raised. You know, the island's so full of folklore. I'm not sure I could tell you at first when I knew.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's okay. One of my favorites in early memory,

[Devin Greenglove]

I suppose me favorite when I was A child is Ms. Patty Greenley.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ms. Patty Greenlee.

[Devin Greenglove]

So here's the thing, Scott. If you're a naughty child and you're in the castle. Greenlee. Okay. Or Ms. Patty. Greeny was a servant. All right? And you Misbehave, you'll hear Mrs. Greenlee's shoes creeping up behind you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no.

[Devin Greenglove]

Pit pat. Pit pat. And if you don't run away immediately, you'll get covered in juice.

[Scott Aukerman]

Juice.

[Devin Greenglove]

She was a she. Was a maid. She brought juice. Orange juice, apple juice.

[Eugene Mirman]

She does this as a ghost, or this is when she was alive and as alive. So you. She used to throw juice.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, when she was alive, as I understand it, it was celebration. You know, she'd come into the Room of Gas. I feel like I'm losing you.

[Eugene Mirman]

No.

[Devin Greenglove]

Already? Is that. No, no, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

I just.

[Eugene Mirman]

Just trying to figure out if she would throw juice and then it's in the afterlife. If she was like. That was my favorite part of life, so I'm gonna continue.

[Devin Greenglove]

I think that's what it was. This is.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it wasn't something where she was in charge of the juice, but she would just deliver it calmly to people. This was a thing when. When she was alive, she would literally throw juice on people.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

As a celebration.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, she was a maid, used to servant of the castle, so I'm assuming she had many other duties. But.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. So this wasn't her only thing.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't think so.

[Scott Aukerman]

She's the throw juice woman that contacts every eight days.

[Devin Greenglove]

No, I doubt that was her only response. I have to say, I know more of her as a ghost. As a ghost, that's all she does.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

But I imagine in her life that was just one of many activities.

[Scott Aukerman]

And is the juice a ghost as well?

[Devin Greenglove]

The juice is real.

[Scott Aukerman]

So. So she goes around finding real juice. What if you.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's what she does.

[Scott Aukerman]

What if you just didn't keep Juice in your house?

[Devin Greenglove]

Then she's out of options. And what she does is. You hear the pit. The pat. The pit. And she goes, oh, shit. And then that's it.

[Scott Aukerman]

And she goes somewhere else where there might be juice.

[Devin Greenglove]

But I give a tour and I leave Juice around because it's a great.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're back to the tour, huh?

[Devin Greenglove]

I promise I won't stay long. It seemed extremely related to what you're saying.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's okay. No, go ahead with the tour.

[Devin Greenglove]

Nah, forget it. That I leave Juice out if she's got no juice? You know, she just sort of says, well, you know, shite. That's it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, that. I mean, that sounds creepy. I don't necessarily want juice. I mean, I. I feel like if a ghost threw juice on me, I would then kind of be like, ghosts are real. And I would. I would. When? I certainly would in the telling. If I were to be like, Eugene, I swear, ghosts are real. One threw juice on me. You. You might.

[Eugene Mirman]

What I would say to you is, I definitely believe Juice somehow was thrown at you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I just but wouldn't you believe it more than, oh, I saw a creepy thing and I didn't know what it was.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. I guess if juice came out of nowhere. Unless you were like, I like, if you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like earlier in the day, I was working on a juice catapult.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Or there was like juice on. In a glass on your desk and you were like, I don't think I. I bumped it. I think a ghost spilled it on me.

[Scott Aukerman]

But if I was like, there was no juice anywhere other than in the kitchen, and suddenly something threw juice on me, there was no one else in. You might go like.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'd be like, yeah, that's probably a ghost. Or maybe I would be like, invisible monkeys are real and they're mischievous.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's true.

[Eugene Mirman]

It could be they're alive. They can be perceived by. They're outside our visual spectrum.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Like light bends around them.

[Eugene Mirman]

Exactly. So it'd be like. Yeah. So there's probably two possibilities. One is ghosts. Surreal. And the other is living invisible monkeys that light bends around are all. Are real. And I would be like, oh, now I don't know which thing to believe.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, there's no way I'd be a monkey, because a monkey wouldn't share their juice.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, here's the thing about. What you don't know about invisible monkeys, obviously, is that that's kind of their thing. They share juice.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I sort of noticed no such thing as invisible monkeys, so we don't have to talk about it. It's an interesting fanciful sort of notion.

[Scott Aukerman]

Some would say there's no such thing as ghosts.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, there is, because I've seen them.

[Scott Aukerman]

You seen them. Okay. And you've seen Ms. Greenle. What's her name? Patty Green.

[Devin Greenglove]

Patty Greenley.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you've seen her?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, no, cuz she's invisible. But I've seen the tray of juice. Floating.

[Scott Aukerman]

A floating tray of juice.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

And. And did. Did you hear Ms. Patty Greenlee as well? So not see. What are the. What are the five senses? There's.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, there's seeing for sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. There's hearing.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, yeah. I love that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's feeling, which is one I like, if you know what I mean. Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Cuz you're horny and then. Right. You love the sexual pleasure of touch.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then the other two, we never really PA. Cares. Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Mostly those tree seeing, hearing and touching.

[Scott Aukerman]

The monkey. The monkey stuff. Well, that's not real monkeys. No, no, I'm saying the monkey see monkey here, monkey do. Oh, I guess do is doing Is a sense doing.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think that's touch. And then there's also taste. Can you taste a ghost?

[Devin Greenglove]

To my knowledge.

[Eugene Mirman]

Have you tasted a ghost?

[Devin Greenglove]

I have not tasted a ghost. I think taste, but I've just smell of the ghost.

[Eugene Mirman]

What?

[Scott Aukerman]

Taste is just touch.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, with your tongue. Well, taste is touch and taste, but

[Scott Aukerman]

you know what I mean.

[Eugene Mirman]

You know how if you put your hand on a lemon, sure you would only feel it, but if you put your tongue on it, you would also be like, oh, that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you're also feeling it. Shouldn't it be a subset of touch? I think it's, you know, it's like 3B taste.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I hate to be, I don't know, overly semantic, but in that case, isn't sight also touch?

[Eugene Mirman]

Huh? Huh?

[Scott Aukerman]

Sight.

[Devin Greenglove]

Cause it's light.

[Scott Aukerman]

A simultaneous huh on comedy. Bang bang.

[Devin Greenglove]

Double huh.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you mean side is also touch?

[Eugene Mirman]

Because light. Light is lighting your.

[Devin Greenglove]

Touching your eyes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. Okay, we need this.

[Eugene Mirman]

So it's basically so touch and then everything, including smell. Because it's vapors touching your nose.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Sorry to get so mad.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hearing is. Is, I guess, sound waves touching.

[Eugene Mirman]

So it's just one sense. It's touch. And sometimes it touches your smell and sometimes it touches your ears.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, exactly.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah. Or your wiener.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can ghosts?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, have you ever had sex with a ghost?

[Devin Greenglove]

I've been sexually aroused by a ghost. I don't know. I hadn't touched one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Cuz they're mostly.

[Scott Aukerman]

And what was it that was so sexually arousing about this particular ghost?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, you notice seen in the first Ghostbusters when Dan Akroy gets a blowjob.

[Scott Aukerman]

Gets the blowjob. But this is a dream sequence, by the way.

[Devin Greenglove]

Right.

[Scott Aukerman]

In Ghostbusters, a lot of people, their memory of it is that Dan Aykroyd legitimately got a real blowjob from a ghost.

[Devin Greenglove]

This is the most passionate I've seen in this whole episode. You're ready to really get the continuity straight.

[Scott Aukerman]

But it truly was a dream sequence of him.

[Devin Greenglove]

So it's even less meaningful than we thought. That sequence was even less needed.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yep.

[Devin Greenglove]

So truly. No change to the story.

[Scott Aukerman]

But so. So you. You. This happened to you where a ghost unbuckled your pants or.

[Devin Greenglove]

No, no, but I was. I was alone in a castle north in Grumbledom, and a ghost acted out that scene for me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Which part acted out the Dan Aykroyd part?

[Devin Greenglove]

No, just the. Just the blowjob part.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, but what character was the ghost the ghost that. I thought the ghost was doing both characters. The ghost and Dan Akron doing both.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah. Sort of switched around.

[Eugene Mirman]

Two ghosts. Sorry, was it two ghosts?

[Devin Greenglove]

No, one ghost.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, one ghost sort of folded on the cells.

[Devin Greenglove]

He was like, watch. Watch this. Watch this. I was like, okay, yeah, show me. And he did. He goes, you know Ghostbusters? I said, yeah, he's. Oh, watch this. And he did the. And then he laid down and he switched. Goes, okay, now I'm doing. He would let me know. He'd be now a macro. And he lay down and.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was the fact that he was a ghost so enticing, or I. I'm just saying, like, if a performance. If a dude were to come up and go, can I act out this scene from Ghost Hunters? I don't think I would get sexually aroused necessarily.

[Devin Greenglove]

You don't know that, though, because this guy. I don't think it was because he was a ghost.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you try it here. Act out. Sure.

[Devin Greenglove]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

From Ghostbusters.

[Louis Pentano]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

No way. I'll tell you, if there's any movie

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm actor, but I'll do it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay. Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

How are you, by the way?

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm doing good. I'm good. Thank you.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, it's. I loved hearing your story.

[Eugene Mirman]

Do you guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you guys want to do. Do you want to do both parts, or do you want Eugene to be in. In on this?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure. Would you like to be the ghost given fellatio or Dan a laying down

[Scott Aukerman]

in the $20,000 pyramid? Question, you want to give or receive?

[Devin Greenglove]

And by the way, you don't have to do either. I think I would.

[Eugene Mirman]

Do you know what? Can I do a little of each?

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay, well, let's switch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Switch in the middle of it. We'll see.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay, I'll start doing both parts, and then when you say switch, you take over both.

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay, great.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're going to do both?

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then when I say switch, he's going to do both. No, I want one of you to play one, and when the other play the other. All right, Switch. You switch parts, you lunatic.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sorry, I thought I. I thought I was doing both.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why would you think that?

[Devin Greenglove]

That's not an act of a broken brain. Look, you're the Hollywood actor.

[Scott Aukerman]

Doesn't have anything to do with it.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure. Well, I don't know. See, I heard they were prickly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. All right, go ahead.

[Eugene Mirman]

It's fine if we don't remember the scene too clearly.

[Louis Pentano]

Sure.

[Eugene Mirman]

Because I think we've described it enough that I think I'm gonna nail it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Okay. You're gonna be the ghost. I'll be Dan Aykroyd. Do you need.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm Dan Aykroyd.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you want to get into the part somehow?

[Devin Greenglove]

You should start.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

You need to be Ackroyd.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you lay it down.

[Eugene Mirman]

You know, I'm Dan Aykroyd.

[Scott Aukerman]

Describe what you're wearing.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm wearing a scientist outfit. I'm wearing a ghost jumpsuit and a belt buckle. I definitely have a belt buckle.

[Scott Aukerman]

Definitely was a belt buckle. So I'm just thinking his full ghost.

[Eugene Mirman]

No, he must have had pants on and a shirt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, he must have.

[Eugene Mirman]

He's just one of those guys sleeping in pants. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

With a belt on.

[Eugene Mirman]

Exactly. Because that's the most comfortable way.

[Devin Greenglove]

And are these things that Dan Aykroyd is saying right now?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm Dan Aykroyd. I'm sleeping in my pants and belt and shirt.

[Devin Greenglove]

All right.

[Eugene Mirman]

And I'm falling asleep, by the way.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is a dream. So he's. It's not like he's sleeping in them.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, he's just lying in them.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's. Cuz he's having the dream where he's not dreaming. He's lying down.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, I see. He's lying down. But he's just. He's not sleeping in the dream.

[Scott Aukerman]

Exactly. I think he wakes up and he's probably wearing like pajamas or something.

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay, great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although I don't remember.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm going to look this up.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't think they show him waking up.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know.

[Devin Greenglove]

I think.

[Eugene Mirman]

How do you know it's a dream? Is this the end of the movie? Or was it the Stay Puff Marshall man? Or does it just end with like, huh, that was weird.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm going to look up ghost.

[Devin Greenglove]

I honestly didn't know the dream until right now.

[Eugene Mirman]

No. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Anyway, look on YouTube. It's Ghostbusters dream. Ghost BJ scene.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay. All right, so that's. That's enough for me.

[Eugene Mirman]

This is. This is answering some of my. I wonder how old the child has to be to watch Ghostbusters.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you want me to skip ahead and see if he wakes up?

[Devin Greenglove]

That'd be great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just so you have all the information,

[Devin Greenglove]

I'd hate to end it wrong.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, okay. He's. He's waking up. Oh, no. He is asleep and he's waking up. And he's wearing pants. He's probably. Probably nodded off taking a nap.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay.

[Eugene Mirman]

And I forgot how much he's tired from busting ghosts.

[Scott Aukerman]

The ghost is. Is. You see the ghost above and then it turns invisible. Opens up his pants.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And his eyes cross. Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Right.

[Scott Aukerman]

He falls back in bed and he's receiving. Oh. And then it just ends right there. See, I didn't.

[Devin Greenglove]

They don't show him waking up then in this clip.

[Eugene Mirman]

In this clip, they don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

But then that was a 26 second.

[Devin Greenglove]

Let me see if we can find another one.

[Eugene Mirman]

See if we can find a few.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's a 1. I hate to do it wrong. Now it's people talking about it. That's not interesting.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't think so.

[Eugene Mirman]

All right, I'm Dan Aykroyd. I'm lying down. I'm probably very tired from busting ghosts. I'm wearing pants, a belt, and a shirt. Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

I think I have to wait for switch. Isn't that what you said you would do?

[Scott Aukerman]

God fucking damn it.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's what you said though, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I said in the middle of the scene, I'm gonna say switch, and then you switch parts.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, I get it now.

[Eugene Mirman]

Holy fucking shit.

[Scott Aukerman]

So sorry.

[Devin Greenglove]

Apologize. I truly didn't just float.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just float around. Come on,

[Devin Greenglove]

look up here. I'm a ghost.

[Scott Aukerman]

Switch.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm the bruise brother.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, me hog.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm a cone head.

[Scott Aukerman]

You weren't crossing your eyes. That's the one note I would give you, but appreciate that you appreciate my note that you work.

[Devin Greenglove]

I do.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Next time I do it.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right. Well, that, that was good.

[Eugene Mirman]

Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you glad I yelled switch right before the blowjob sounds you had to make?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah. No, it's perfect.

[Devin Greenglove]

So how was that? Was that a rap sync to anybody here, cuz?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's right.

[Eugene Mirman]

That's why we're doing. Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Because honestly, we did it much better than the ghost.

[Eugene Mirman]

I feel like we added

[Scott Aukerman]

of.

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know what the level of ver. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Vermis.

[Devin Greenglove]

Versilitude.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you. Versilitude. That's a tough one.

[Eugene Mirman]

I can only imagine how many people are going to listen to that part over and over in private.

[Devin Greenglove]

That be a shame. I, I now, was it arousing? Be honest. Don't lie.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm going to be honest. I was more upset with you for not getting the whole concept of the switch.

[Devin Greenglove]

I feel it back because I think if you weren't so mad at me, that would be arousing.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

We'll never know.

[Devin Greenglove]

All right. It's too bad. I was too in the character. And so when I Was Ackroyd. I did get aroused.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

When I was depressed. So you were aroused when you were just doing it just now?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

When you were Ackroyd?

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, Only as Ackroyd.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. But when you were watching this ghost reenact both parts.

[Devin Greenglove]

Right away. He got me.

[Scott Aukerman]

It just got you?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, he was so in it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And why was he. Why was he reenacting this for you?

[Devin Greenglove]

I asked him. He was like.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was by request.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes, he was. Do you want to know anything from beyond? Do you wish to know secrets from your. Your dead ma? And I said, hey, have you seen Ghostbusters?

[Scott Aukerman]

And he had.

[Devin Greenglove]

He loved it.

[Scott Aukerman]

So he was born or he died after 1984.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. He's as a ghost. He saw the movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh. Oh, he saw it as a ghost. Oh, okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, he died before.

[Scott Aukerman]

Jesus fucking Christ. Get your story straight.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm really sorry. I get why you're so frustrated.

[Scott Aukerman]

So he's a ghost and he's watching Ghostbusters over someone's shoulder as they're watching it.

[Eugene Mirman]

What other movies does he like?

[Devin Greenglove]

He only likes ghost movies, but there are many.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, there's Ghost.

[Devin Greenglove]

Ghost, of course, is a great 1.

[Eugene Mirman]

Ghostbusters 2.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes. $0.06 6 Sense is a ghost.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did he have an opinion on Ghostbusters too? About how they have the patches on their uniforms with the ghost holding up a two like they know they're in a sequel?

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, he did. He was very upset. He would have loved you. Cuz he was really upset at the continuity.

[Scott Aukerman]

He would have loved me. Why can't he love me now? He's a ghost, right? Is he still a ghost?

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, what? No, I destroyed him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Him?

[Devin Greenglove]

This particular ghost.

[Eugene Mirman]

Why?

[Scott Aukerman]

What does that mean?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, you can. You can. So the. A ghost is a spirit who hasn't moved on to the beyond. So if you sort of either helped them or sometimes banish them, they move on. And in a way, their ghost existence is over.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you. You. Why the verbiage destroyed him. You banished him.

[Devin Greenglove]

I banished him, yeah. He was an evil spirit. So to help him move on meant he went down to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why do you think he was evil? Because he didn't. I mean, he got you aroused. He didn't do it. Good enough for you?

[Devin Greenglove]

No, that part was great. He then sort of belittled me and he goes a real bully.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Why? What were you doing to make him act like that?

[Devin Greenglove]

I was sort of telling him he was a piece of shit and he got mad at me about it and he Sort of said, well, you got a small dick.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why were you telling him? Okay, number one, why were you telling him that he was a piece of shit? He's done this thing for you. He's acted out this scene.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, he started criticizing Ghostbusters. He started with the two patch thing, and then he was sort of like, the first one really is uneven and it jumps around, it goes. The pace is all wrong. If you're not already worshiping Bill Murray, it's not a good movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so then you're a piece of shit.

[Devin Greenglove]

You shouldn't be criticizing. You know, it's so hard to make a movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then he says, you have a small dick. Has.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seen it? Because you are aroused at this point. You've taken it out or took it

[Devin Greenglove]

out

[Scott Aukerman]

and you were manipulating it or what exactly were you. I'm told he just took it out and it was funny.

[Devin Greenglove]

I said, the performance is so good. You got me turned on. He said, no way.

[Scott Aukerman]

I said, take a look. You took it out to show him.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

He sees that you have. And this is you admitting that's right.

[Devin Greenglove]

And I was like. And this. Cause you're such a good actor. I said, you could have been in Ghostbusters. He said, who cares? The movie sucks.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's not what I was saying. You were admitting. I'm saying you're admitting that you have a small penis.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. Oh, no, you. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. So you have.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, I absolutely do.

[Scott Aukerman]

How small?

[Devin Greenglove]

You know, subjective. Of course. You want inches.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not saying. What's the general feeling of how small it is? Yeah, I mean, from. From, you know, I don't know, the

[Devin Greenglove]

conversion from metric to. I think it's about three, three.

[Scott Aukerman]

Three.

[Devin Greenglove]

Three inches.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, that's, you know, fully engorged. It's respectable. How about when it's flaccid?

[Devin Greenglove]

Half?

[Eugene Mirman]

4 inches?

[Devin Greenglove]

Wouldn't that be something?

[Scott Aukerman]

Wouldn't that be something?

[Eugene Mirman]

I get a recognition with the magic shrinking penis.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, this. I mean, look, this is an incredible story. Now, I know you wanted to say something about.

[Devin Greenglove]

It doesn't matter.

[Scott Aukerman]

The tours that you get.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, just. That's what I do, you know? So I'm here to promote them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

So if you're on the island of Grumbledom, come on, look me up. I'll give you a tour.

[Scott Aukerman]

And is there any other kind of reason a tourist would go to Grumbledom or daily? The.

[Devin Greenglove]

The hills. It's beautiful.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's hills everywhere, though.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay. Well, it's a. It's a beautiful. You know, people go to Ireland to see the, the majesty of nature, you know, and it's a lovely, lovely island.

[Scott Aukerman]

You love it. Scott, what about leprechauns? You ever see one of those?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure, many times.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that's a separate.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay. All right, you brought it up.

[Scott Aukerman]

I know I brought it up. I'm just very.

[Devin Greenglove]

Everyone in Ireland seen leprechauns.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, have you ever like gotten to the end of the rainbow and got a lot of gold and all that?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I've seen it. I haven't got my own. It's rude. It belongs to them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're not supposed to take.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought that if you, if you got to the end of the rainbow, you earned it.

[Eugene Mirman]

They.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you earned it.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's what I taught.

[Scott Aukerman]

But they were just like.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's the first. It's like a taskmaster. There's all these things you gotta do after you get there.

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess it's sort of like breaking into someone's house, going like, I earned it. Let me have all this stuff.

[Devin Greenglove]

Exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

So they're sort of like. Well, no, it's still ours.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are there ghosts of leprechauns?

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes, there are. Yeah, of course.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, that's. That.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's cool. Can you think. I mean, there must be ghosts of everything. Like a vampire.

[Devin Greenglove]

Anything living.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, ghost cat.

[Scott Aukerman]

A ghost cat.

[Devin Greenglove]

To be a ghost cat.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah. Animal, plants. Because like cockroaches.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, yeah. Every animal is a ghost.

[Scott Aukerman]

Flies.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yup.

[Scott Aukerman]

Mosquitoes.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure. But most of them move on.

[Scott Aukerman]

They. They move on to the great mosquito heaven or.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure, you gotta go to. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is heaven segregated?

[Devin Greenglove]

Segregated by species. That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

So there's an. A lot of. A lot of heavens.

[Scott Aukerman]

So I bet there's a man heaven and a woman heaven. You know what I mean?

[Devin Greenglove]

I bet, I bet there is. I bet there is. There's certainly like.

[Scott Aukerman]

It seems like you would know cuz you talk to ghosts.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I only see when they're here. You know, we don't know even. They don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

They don't know cuz they haven't moved on yet.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then why was this one ghost who reenacted this pivotal scene from Ghostbusters saying that he could relay information to you from beyond?

[Devin Greenglove]

He talked to other utter ghost of. Of relatives of mine who hadn't moved on.

[Scott Aukerman]

I see. I understand.

[Devin Greenglove]

So my. My mother, for example, died when I was just a young boy. How young? 30. Two.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought you were about to say 13. 32.

[Devin Greenglove]

I mean, 32.

[Scott Aukerman]

32. You're old enough. It's a tragedy, don't get me wrong, but yes, you're old enough to be able to process.

[Devin Greenglove]

She wasn't great, to be honest.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

But sure. Still, she shouldn't have.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why was she not great? Would she criticize Ghostbusters?

[Devin Greenglove]

She was. Yeah, that's right. She would sort of be like, you're a. Know it all, you know? And I'd be like, you know what? I think you're not great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. You're a piece of. Would she say you have a small penis?

[Devin Greenglove]

She did.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Which I feel was her purview, you know, as. As my mother.

[Scott Aukerman]

She's the one who created it.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's her fault.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. You. You know, you're. Thanks a lot.

[Scott Aukerman]

You think there are exercises that a mother could do to make sure that child's penis bigger?

[Devin Greenglove]

I imagine, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, like just. Just stretch it out every morning.

[Devin Greenglove]

Maybe even just sort. Yeah, could be. I mean, I couldn't hurt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right?

[Eugene Mirman]

Right. It's interesting to think of how many people in the world there are and how we would never have an answer to this question because of.

[Devin Greenglove]

I take, what, enough ultrasounds and sort of Kegels? You get to maneuver the fetus within you to sort of stretch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Stretch it out before the birth. Yeah. That's interesting. Like. Like there must be some sort of like spirit gum or something. You could stick it to one side of the uterus and then.

[Devin Greenglove]

Spirit gum.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what I mean?

[Devin Greenglove]

Isn't that oddly named.

[Scott Aukerman]

Isn't that funny? Spirit gum. And you're a guy who's a ghost.

[Devin Greenglove]

Nothing to do with ghost. Ghosts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although, you know, would I mind seeing a ghost with a big beard attached to his face?

[Devin Greenglove]

Hilarious. Yeah, Ghosts are very funny.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's the funniest thing that you've ever seen? A ghost.

[Devin Greenglove]

Do you want me just to immediately come up with the number one?

[Scott Aukerman]

Come up with? What do you mean?

[Devin Greenglove]

I mean, you.

[Scott Aukerman]

You had to have ranked this no in your life.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes. Easy for me to tell you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

The funniest thing I ever saw ghosts do. The Mary Tyler Moore funeral scene with the clown.

[Scott Aukerman]

A reenactment of this. Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

These guys are huge. Pop culture f. And I'd never seen the episode, but when I saw them do.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've seen that part, though, on clips.

[Devin Greenglove]

Is that right?

[Scott Aukerman]

You get the gist.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's all I've seen is the ghost.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what we're talking about Eugene. The Mary Tyler Moore clown funeral. She just starts laughing at it. And they can't. They can't get through the funeral without laughing at how ridiculous it is. And then when they. The. The. The preacher or whoever is running this says. Finally says, like, okay, let it out. Go ahead and laugh. Then she brings. Burst into tears because it's so sad. Isn't that. Isn't that funny? Doesn't comedy play on expectations?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It sounds. It sounds very funny.

[Devin Greenglove]

That was the funniest thing I saw one do.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, and I saw a really fun. Even better. I was mid fart and a ghost emerged.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you mean your mid fart was let. How long are your farts?

[Devin Greenglove]

This was a long one.

[Eugene Mirman]

Every fart has a mid. It's. It's. You know.

[Scott Aukerman]

I know, but I mean, the fact

[Eugene Mirman]

that 0.5 seconds or 2 seconds, the

[Scott Aukerman]

fact that something is able to occur in the middle of one of your farts.

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I was holding it for a while, so I was.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't care. Well, this meant.

[Devin Greenglove]

I was very conscious of when it started.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm interested.

[Devin Greenglove]

I was. I was on a tour and I was holding in a big fart and I was, oh, I just get to the end, you know, and fart in private. I was like, I can't. I can't anymore. Maybe to be quiet, you know, hope maybe won't be so much. And I sort of like, I'll just try to quick push through it. And I started the fart and it was tremendous. So at least 10 seconds long.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Devin Greenglove]

Just a fluttery sort of thing. In mid mid fart, a ghost showed up and said, I'll have what he's having. And I thought that was so funny.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, it's not a bad thing to say after soul funny. You're a ghost or not.

[Devin Greenglove]

It was great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pretty funny.

[Devin Greenglove]

And then he left.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then he left. Okay. Never knew.

[Devin Greenglove]

It's a shame. But anyway.

[Scott Aukerman]

But they must have gotten a thrill on that tour to see something they looked at.

[Devin Greenglove]

It's like a whale watch, you know, you go and you hope to see. You just hope to, but you don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

You never know.

[Devin Greenglove]

But they did. They saw one make fun of me fart, and boy, did he.

[Scott Aukerman]

Incredible. Well, Devin Green Green Glove. Green Green Glove.

[Devin Greenglove]

So sorry. It's Devin Green Glove. Oh, I said it wrong. Green Glove.

[Scott Aukerman]

Your name is Devin Green Glove.

[Devin Greenglove]

My name is Devin Green.

[Scott Aukerman]

Weird way to go out on this interview correcting me about the name.

[Devin Greenglove]

I wasn't Listening. Yes, that's my fault. I'm sorry. All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Devin Greenglove, wonderful to have you here. Can you stick around?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure. Does that upset you that I did?

[Louis Pentano]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm not upset about anything. I don't give a whether you live or die.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, you're not like my friend Eugene. I just met you.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure, okay. I get that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Eugene. I, you know, we were talking about a relationship. Yeah, we have a relationship.

[Devin Greenglove]

Your peers.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't give one shit about two fucks about you.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay, I get that. That makes sense. Well, I'm glad I haven't upset you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, good.

[Devin Greenglove]

But it's Devin Green Glove and it's my fault. I'm so sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well, I'm glad we cleared that up. Right on the dip. Devin Green Glove, it's wonderful to have you on. Can you stick around? We have.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure. I got nothing to do.

[Scott Aukerman]

We have a bird coming up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date? Oh, no. We help people customize and save on

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Devin Greenglove]

Anyways, get a [e-mail] or with your local agent.

[Louis Pentano]

Liberty, Liberty.

[Scott Aukerman]

Liberty. Liberty. Comedy Bang, Bang. We're back. Eugene Mirman is here. Here Comes the Whimsy. Is the special available for one and all on YouTube.com? is there a specific URL for it or.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm sure there is, but I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

The URL does that, like, percentages in it?

[Eugene Mirman]

If you go to Pretty Good Friends, which is our record label, that.

[Scott Aukerman]

And look, I didn't have any trouble. I just put in Here Comes the Whimsy.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, there's probably not a ton of. It's not like, oh, is it Eugene's or the Aerosmith album? Like, which. Which one of these two Massachusetts things?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's right. They're from Boston.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and them. And that's. That's it. Yep.

[Scott Aukerman]

No one else. We also have Devin Green Glove, who's here, a ghost expert.

[Devin Greenglove]

Hello.

[Scott Aukerman]

And are there any ghosts around here?

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't see any right now, but I'll let you know.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, let us know.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

We need to get to our next guest. This is a returning guest. Been on the show before. He is a seagull. Please welcome Louis Pentano.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God, Scott, thank you so much for having me back. I am desperate. Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. It's so good to see you. You are. You are, of course, a seagull that we have talked to once before.

[Louis Pentano]

A couple times, I think.

[Scott Aukerman]

A couple of times. You inspired the T shirt that we've sold starring your likeness. Yeah, I guess. A T shirt. You're not starring in a T shirt.

[Louis Pentano]

I mean, I'm on the T shirt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, but. And what does it say on it?

[Louis Pentano]

It says something with French fries and choking on them or something. I don't know. It was my big break.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is the way I like to snack. Is that what it is?

[Louis Pentano]

Something like that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Scott, Limited edition T shirt. But you're back now.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is Eugene, by the way. Hello, Dev.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, no. And this is gonna be a tug of war of accents. I can feel myself already being pulled.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're slipping into this one.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah. Give me five minutes and I'm.

[Devin Greenglove]

Mine tends to go away and make room for yours. It's okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Just say something Boston specific, like, how do you like them apples or whatever.

[Louis Pentano]

The law was very formal in that regard.

[Eugene Mirman]

There you go.

[Louis Pentano]

I'm locked back in.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're in. It's so great to see you, Louie.

[Louis Pentano]

Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's going on in the seagull trade these days?

[Louis Pentano]

Well, as you know, I've been trying to make it in show business for quite some time.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. You, what were you. Eugene's been in one and a half movies. What have you been in so far?

[Louis Pentano]

I've been flying through the studio of Dancing with the Stars. I've just really kind of been swooping in, trying to get my name out there.

[Scott Aukerman]

And this is unsanctioned by Dancing with the Stars.

[Louis Pentano]

No, they don't like it.

[Scott Aukerman]

They might even say we have a seagull problem somehow in the studio.

[Louis Pentano]

They might say that. You should ask them, Scott. My family, last time I went home, they said, you have to make it big or you have to move home.

[Scott Aukerman]

No. Are they footing the bill? No pun intended. Because birds have bills.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes. And feet.

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess it's a double pun.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes. So this is my Hail Mary. You're my biggest show business friend. I'm going to try to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you know, Eugene Mirman is here, and if I were to crash into a toll booth in a fiery thing, I don't think I would get a TMZ article about me.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think you would. I think you'd be surprised how interested they are in any.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think it would make national news for several days, though.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think mine didn't for several days because it took people a few days to realize that I was in the car.

[Louis Pentano]

I think people would care, Scott.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, they would really care. I'm not saying people would care, and I know the sensitively, but try it.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Can you give me some tips?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one thing I can't do. I'd be like, I guess drive quickly.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I guess what I'm saying is Eugene has more pull than I. I mean, he's on a show currently.

[Louis Pentano]

Right. Oh, I could be your understudy. Are they looking for a Gene understudy?

[Eugene Mirman]

I, I don't know because of how I, I, I'm not. I don't hire.

[Louis Pentano]

Here. Here's my audition.

[Eugene Mirman]

I'm not part of the casting, but I, I, But I'll definitely say, hey, I met a really great seagull that if you. We need a seagull that's from Boston.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

You know, show.

[Louis Pentano]

You're Gene? Are you Gene? Okay. I could do Gene.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, let's.

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay. Yeah, let's see it.

[Louis Pentano]

This is me now.

[Eugene Mirman]

I would say pretty good. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pretty good. Then that's your catchphrase on the show.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think I said it in one episode, but certainly people appreciate it and say it a lot. So I think why don't you throw

[Scott Aukerman]

it in a couple more times so it could be like dough or whatever, you know?

[Eugene Mirman]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who says that is part of the Simpsons?

[Devin Greenglove]

Homer.

[Scott Aukerman]

Simpsons.

[Louis Pentano]

I'm not familiar.

[Devin Greenglove]

Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

I haven't seen that one. I think haven't flown by a television when that's playing.

[Louis Pentano]

No, not yet. I think I should reboot something.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think that's very popular. Ryan Coogler is rebooting the X Files.

[Louis Pentano]

Great.

[Scott Aukerman]

What other reboots are going on these days? That's about all I can think of.

[Louis Pentano]

Right. But what if I bring something back that people are maybe missing?

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe Knight Rider.

[Eugene Mirman]

But it's like a bird in a car.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or a man and a bird or.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh my God.

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, yeah, a man. Like a tiny man riding a bird. Yeah, that's like super helpful. Yeah. That talks and has fun.

[Scott Aukerman]

But a computer.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, like AI Glasses.

[Louis Pentano]

Why not?

[Eugene Mirman]

And it can hack anything.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Some of those Ray Ban. Meta. Ray Bans maybe. Yeah. Both of you are aware.

[Eugene Mirman]

Cool Go. And the show's called Cool Go.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, Cool Go.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh my God.

[Eugene Mirman]

Somebody do Spencer for Hire set in Boston. There you go.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, we just need a tough bird friend.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was a show that primarily concerned it with people hiring a guy named Spencer. Is that right?

[Eugene Mirman]

Probably to solve.

[Devin Greenglove]

I hope so.

[Eugene Mirman]

Things. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, hey, you're still here.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah, that's right.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

How's it going, Devin?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I would.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah. Spencer Fryer. Have you ever seen this?

[Louis Pentano]

No, I'm not familiar.

[Scott Aukerman]

Robert Urich. Is that right?

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. Yes.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Wasn't he on Vegas?

[Scott Aukerman]

He wasn't. Yeah. Yeah, that's just the television show with the.

[Devin Greenglove]

No. On the city.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no. I mean he may. He may have been in it at a certain point, but. Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

I was thinking more like I could be the next Ethan Hunt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, Mission Impossible.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, they finished that up, right? I could jump on out of an

[Scott Aukerman]

airplane calling it Final Impossible or whatever. But I. I bet it's a lie. I bet they do more.

[Louis Pentano]

Okay, well, so maybe not that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, I don't mean I bet, but. No, no, no.

[Louis Pentano]

I got a long list.

[Devin Greenglove]

Maybe you do a Jason Born reboot, but it's like airborne.

[Louis Pentano]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or Air Bud.

[Louis Pentano]

Air Bud, but it's a seagull. And they pass me the ball and I explode into feathers.

[Scott Aukerman]

And there's nothing in the rule book that says you can't. It do.

[Eugene Mirman]

Do that.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right.

[Louis Pentano]

That a seagull can't play basketball.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Or maybe your. It.

[Louis Pentano]

Your.

[Scott Aukerman]

Your beak punctures the ball and it deflates, and everyone's like, no, don't insult me.

[Louis Pentano]

I don't want to be in an animal movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry.

[Louis Pentano]

I don't want them to give me peanut butter or whatever to make my mouth move from my line. Someone else.

[Scott Aukerman]

To be fair, I have been giving you peanut butter this entire episode.

[Louis Pentano]

It's so good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you want to be seen as a human? Do you identify as human?

[Louis Pentano]

Yes. I could play a human, no problem.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. What they can do with CGI and makeup and special effects these days.

[Louis Pentano]

I'm gonna keep going down my list of reboots.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. What am I.

[Louis Pentano]

Well, this one feels a little insensitive to do in front of Eugene.

[Eugene Mirman]

What is it?

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Eugene Mirman]

Is it the Phantom Toll Booth?

[Louis Pentano]

It's the Phantom Toll Booth. I was thinking of the Phantom Tollbooth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

Remember that movie?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. You could be like. You call it also the Phantom Tollbooth.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, The Phantom Tool Booth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Tool booth, yeah. What about the Phantom Toolbox?

[Louis Pentano]

I feel like we're getting far away from the content of the original thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about just regular Toolbox then?

[Louis Pentano]

What. What are we talking about, Scott, Come on.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't know.

[Louis Pentano]

This is serious, Scott. I have to move back home if I don't get this.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry.

[Louis Pentano]

This is serious.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't want to move back home because it's a crowded nest or.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, well, yeah, I don't. To go back to just, like, terrorizing people on Cape Cod for their french

[Scott Aukerman]

fries nests, by the way. Or do they just fly around until

[Eugene Mirman]

they just fly around trying to get your sandwich?

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we do more than that.

[Eugene Mirman]

Sorry.

[Louis Pentano]

We try to also get, like.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. We don't mean to be reductive, but.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

What if you got on a sort of reality show? You know, maybe, like, the Voice?

[Louis Pentano]

Oh. Oh, my gosh. Would you guys turn your chairs around for me?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, we could reenact it, right? Or just.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or. Yeah, yeah, let's turn our chairs around, Eugene. Okay. And let's. Let's. And Devin. Yeah? Go ahead. Turn your chair.

[Devin Greenglove]

You got a chore.

[Louis Pentano]

All right. What should I sing?

[Devin Greenglove]

Goodness, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you. Do you have a karaoke staple or anything like that that you like to sing?

[Louis Pentano]

I've heard that you've settled down, that you've. No one's moving. Found a girl. Maybe they can't hear me. That you're married. No, they're not moving. They're not moving. Are your chairs stuck? Can I help you? Unsteady oh, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're just waiting for it to be over.

[Eugene Mirman]

Look.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God.

[Eugene Mirman]

Realized something. I don't know the rules of the Voice. Yeah. And I was. And I definitely at first decided that what we were doing was the masked singer, but then I was like, well, I. It's not the masked singer, because that's a person. You don't know who they are. And all we know is who this is. You don't.

[Devin Greenglove]

You don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's not an added level of. We're all. We're gonna turn our chairs around so we don't guess who this is.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

[Louis Pentano]

Thank goodness.

[Eugene Mirman]

So what? So why do people on the Voice turn their chairs around?

[Scott Aukerman]

Because they don't want to be confused by. If this person has a marketable look. They just want to hear the voice first. And then if they are interested in coaching the person, they turn. They. They. They hit a button, their chair swings around, and. And they. They then own that person in terms of. I mean, not. You know, not in a bad way.

[Louis Pentano]

No, they own them.

[Devin Greenglove]

They own them. Yeah. I got distracted. I turned around. I got lost. Lost in your wallpaper?

[Eugene Mirman]

So.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Do you see it? Is there a ghost or anything that you saw or.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't think so, but it's just so. It's so ghosts hanging around.

[Louis Pentano]

I don't know.

[Devin Greenglove]

They must all have finished their business and moved on.

[Louis Pentano]

I'm gonna be honest, Scott. My confidence got eviscerated watching three people not move their chairs.

[Eugene Mirman]

I would have turned my chair around if I knew. If I knew any of the rules. I just did what I was told. And what I was told to do is turn my chair around. But what I was never told is what happens after.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you. So you. Would you like her voice?

[Eugene Mirman]

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.

[Scott Aukerman]

You enjoy Louis singing and you would like to coach Luke?

[Eugene Mirman]

Well, I can't coach, but I would have turned my chair around in the spirit of affirmation, in the spirit of the voice.

[Scott Aukerman]

He would have turned.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah. I should have sung something from the Phantom Tollbooth or an Irish song, maybe, if I had done an Irish.

[Devin Greenglove]

So I totally was distracted. It sounded great.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no, don't feel bad. I was not distracted. I was locked in.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. Do you know any saw doctors?

[Louis Pentano]

No. Oh, my God. This is humiliating. Forget it, Scott. I was gonna suggest a lot more research boots, but I just. I think you're right.

[Devin Greenglove]

I think you need a pep talk here, because I think you're very charismatic, Louie, and I think, you know it's just your parents are being hard on you.

[Louis Pentano]

No, I'm packing my bindle. I'm going.

[Devin Greenglove]

Don't pack your bindle.

[Scott Aukerman]

Don't pack your bin.

[Louis Pentano]

Here I go, packing my bindle.

[Scott Aukerman]

Determination in this business. I mean, Eugene, you know, Eugene, you can speak to this, right? You were.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think you just. All you got to do is you don't stop. You just keep. Keep moving forward. Just a little bit each day.

[Louis Pentano]

How old were you when you made it?

[Eugene Mirman]

Big 51.

[Louis Pentano]

Okay. I'm eight years older than that.

[Scott Aukerman]

When you found out he was on TMZ.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're. You're 59 years old.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, that's.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's in seagull years or. Incredible.

[Louis Pentano]

In human years.

[Eugene Mirman]

In human years. In seagull years, seagulls live to like one or 200 years.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, we're like tortoises in that.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's why there's so many, I guess.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

Have you ever seen a seagull ghost before?

[Devin Greenglove]

I have. You sore? Many times time, but.

[Scott Aukerman]

And there is a seagull heaven.

[Devin Greenglove]

There's. Yes, that's right. Every animal its own heaven. Camel heaven.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seems like there's not a lot of room up there then.

[Devin Greenglove]

That must be crowded, you know, sort of sectioned off.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, especially for like fly heaven and mosquito heaven. They live such short lives. There must have been so many over the years. But maybe when you're up in heaven, you're not taking up space, everyone's passing between.

[Devin Greenglove]

Or you're so blissed out you don't need a ton of space.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it's sort of like New York. Oh, wow. The city is so deciding. I can live. Live in a 300 square foot apartment

[Devin Greenglove]

the way it is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

Do you think mosquito heaven is someone else's hell?

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a good point.

[Louis Pentano]

Do you think they double up to save some space?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's right.

[Devin Greenglove]

So, yeah, mosquito heavens. All just. All the people are there. Who.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Hitler's cow hell.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

For bad cows.

[Louis Pentano]

But don't they love swatting flies?

[Eugene Mirman]

I don't know.

[Louis Pentano]

That must be sad as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cow heaven could be like a vegetarian's hell.

[Devin Greenglove]

Right. So you're a vegetarian.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although I guess. I guess in cow heaven, they're not being eaten.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, that's the only thing.

[Louis Pentano]

How do we know they don't like it? How do we know they don't like

[Devin Greenglove]

getting cows who love being eaten? That's their heaven.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, with.

[Devin Greenglove]

Not with, let's see, vegetarian people trying to eat them.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, wait.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay. No, this works.

[Scott Aukerman]

This works. Okay.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah. Vegetarians who. Who don't want to eat meat, and cows who don't like to be being

[Scott Aukerman]

forced at, like, gunpoint. But who are the people with the guns? Heaven. Is that heaven for It's a good guy.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's. Good guy with a gun.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, the good guy with a gun.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's where they go.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Okay, so you go to cow heaven. You've got to make the vegetarians.

[Louis Pentano]

What if I reboot Top Gun?

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, I love it.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is great.

[Louis Pentano]

And I'm the plane.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And Tom Cruise is writing you.

[Louis Pentano]

Who?

[Scott Aukerman]

In Russia, Tom Cruise rides you.

[Louis Pentano]

I don't know who that is. Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my God, you'd love. You. Wait, you know Ethan Hunt?

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, of course.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that's. It's the guy who plays Ethan Hunt.

[Louis Pentano]

I can't picture his face.

[Devin Greenglove]

Maybe a Jerry Maguire reboot.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, show me. That's not that, is it.

[Devin Greenglove]

That is. Actually, you're right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Depends on what you're about to say. If it's your tits.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, show me your tits.

[Scott Aukerman]

Something entirely different.

[Devin Greenglove]

And if it's your. Show me your small weeds. Or it's the ghost talking to me.

[Louis Pentano]

Right.

[Scott Aukerman]

But if it's the money.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, yeah, show me the money. That's Jerry Maguire. That's the plot of that.

[Eugene Mirman]

It's just the guy who wants people to show him money, and then eventually someone shows him money and he's like, thank you. Good night.

[Scott Aukerman]

Simultaneous Good night on Comedy Banger.

[Louis Pentano]

And Aha.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's crazy. Wow. Oh, my God.

[Louis Pentano]

That's wild.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think you should just keep going. I mean, persistence is what this business is all about.

[Louis Pentano]

Show business is so humiliating. Scott. I can't do another minute of this. I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, then it sounds like it's your decision to quit.

[Louis Pentano]

No, I don't want to quit. I want to be famous.

[Scott Aukerman]

I want to be famous. Well, those are two different things, because

[Louis Pentano]

seagulls get a bad rep. People don't like us.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's true.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're the villains in things like Puffin Rock and in a lot of children's cartoons.

[Devin Greenglove]

Or also, if you're reading a book about disease ease.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

You don't come out good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Yeah, But I mean, in Little Mermaid, you. You. You. You're one of the fun characters.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah. What's that guy's name? Who does that voice?

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know. Who does the voice?

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, who does the voice? It's. What's the. God, what's the seagull's name?

[Scott Aukerman]

What else has he Done. Do you want me to look this.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, look him up. He's like an old Hollywood guy.

[Devin Greenglove]

He's Dom Delu. He's sort of got a dump.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who does the voice to the funny seagull? I don't want to bother my Internet. To the funny seagull in a movie called the Little Mermaid.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God. I don't remember.

[Scott Aukerman]

Awkwafina.

[Louis Pentano]

That's the new one. That's the reboot.

[Scott Aukerman]

Buddy Hacket. Shapoopi.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes, Shapoopi. Shapoopi. To get you. See, this is what messed me up, is I was in the Music man in high school. That was my senior show. And it gave me the comic confidence, gave me the taste. I.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's the trombones, Scott?

[Louis Pentano]

Seagulls can play men. I did the entire opening number to that show completely by myself. What do you talk? What do you talk? What do you talk? Where do you get it? I did that completely by myself. How dare you, Scott. Here go.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a song between, like, 20 salesmen. Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

You think I can't do it? You think I can't do that number right now completely by myself?

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, go ahead, Charlie.

[Louis Pentano]

You're an anvil salesman. Your firm give credit? You're going to regret this. No, sir. Nor anybody else. Cash for the merchandise. Cash for the button hooks. Cash for the cotton goods. Cash for the hard goods. Cash for the soft goods. Cash for the fancy goods. Cash for the noggins and the pickins and the firkins. Cash for the hogshead cash and demigon. Cash for the pickles and the. Something in the flypaper Look. What do you talk? What do you talk? What do you talk? What do you talk? Where do you get it? I'm gonna go faster. You can talk, you can talk, you can bicker, you can talk, you can bicker, you can talk, you can talk, you can talk, talk, talk, talk. Picker, picker, bicker. You can talk all you want it, but it's different than it was. No, it ain't. But you got to know the territory. Why, it's the. You need a biscuit in trouble. You need it. You need to put a cracker in the package. In the package. You need a biscuit. An airtight center crack. Mitch. Cracker. Obsolete, Obsolete, Obsolete. Obsolete. Obsolete, obsolete, Obsolete. Cracker roll went out the window with the mail chip change the approach of a traveling salesman. Made it pretty hard. No, it didn't. No, it didn't. But you got to know the territory.

[Eugene Mirman]

Look.

[Louis Pentano]

What do you talk? What do you talk? You can get it. He's a music man. He's a what? He's a what? He's a music band and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town for the big trombone and rattatat drums and the big breath bass Big breath base in the piccolo the piccolo uniforms too With a shiny gold braid on the coat in the big red stripe. Well, I don't know much about bands But I do know you can't make a living selling big trombones. No, sir. Mandolin picks perhaps. And here, near Jew's heart. No, the fell sells bands, boys bands. I don't know how he does does it. But he lives like a king and he dallies and he galleys and he plucks and he shines and when the man dances Certainly, boys, what else? The piper pays him. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But he doesn't know the territory.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh my God.

[Louis Pentano]

I skipped a big part.

[Scott Aukerman]

There were only a few somethings and.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, I mean, I think it's clear that what the reboot should be is you should do a one seagull version of Hamilton.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes.

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, it be incredible.

[Louis Pentano]

The orphanage.

[Scott Aukerman]

This. That was incredible.

[Devin Greenglove]

It was amazing.

[Louis Pentano]

I skipped a big part in the.

[Eugene Mirman]

Not from my point of view.

[Devin Greenglove]

Good editing because I didn't miss it.

[Scott Aukerman]

In your opinion. Did the music man was part of the con. Was. He provides the uniforms.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah. And the whole band. But then he ends up doing it and he falls in love with the librarian.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, sure, we know the plot. I just. That's one sticking point. That was incredible. I. Look, I can see why you Got the bug. No. Again, no pun intended. Because I'm sure you've swallowed bugs when you're flying around, but.

[Louis Pentano]

All right. Yeah, I sent some mosquitoes to mosquito heaven.

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess I would imagine if I were to drive around without a windshield, I would be swallowing bugs all the time. So it's not. I mean, it's.

[Louis Pentano]

I almost just passed out when I was doing that. I'm gonna be honest with you.

[Devin Greenglove]

It seems like a lot.

[Louis Pentano]

I started seeing white at the edge of my vision.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really?

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe. Eugene, is this what you were doing in the car?

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God. Eugene, you cannot be doing this in the car.

[Eugene Mirman]

I remember. Is eating marmalade and singing the Music Man a thing I've never heard. And so I was like, how is it possible that I know this?

[Louis Pentano]

You cannot drive and do a patter song at the same time. That is too dangerous. You don't have the breath for it.

[Eugene Mirman]

And that's my big takeaway.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. That was impressive, I gotta say. I think you have it. And quite honestly, we need to find a place for you in showbiz because.

[Louis Pentano]

No. My brain is uniquely broken. This is not good.

[Devin Greenglove]

I take. Now, next time I see a musical, I hope it's one person, I think, dividing it up over lots of people's cheating.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like, I've seen musicals with, like, little kids where they give one part to two kids and they simultaneously say everything.

[Devin Greenglove]

Who cares? Let them. You know, let me see one girl do all of Annie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my God. Is that your dream? Dream to do Miss Hannigan, Annie, Rooster.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God. Oh, Father Warbucks.

[Devin Greenglove]

But to me, I have respect.

[Louis Pentano]

He's a priest in the Irish version of Annie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Billionaire magnet.

[Devin Greenglove]

The original version's Irish, and it's a lot of Catholic priests who sort of dated battle and got taken out.

[Scott Aukerman]

And he's a nun.

[Devin Greenglove]

And he's a nun.

[Louis Pentano]

Yep.

[Devin Greenglove]

Father Warbucks. He's a priest who adopts a nun.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'd see it.

[Devin Greenglove]

She inspires the queen.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Louis Pentano]

I love the Irish version of Annie. I love the Irish version of all the musicals.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And she has red hair, so that,

[Devin Greenglove]

you know, fits great.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

And no one. No one in Ireland before 1960 had pupils, so that fit great for the time.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I mean, look, Louis, you. You got this. You got the goods. Your parents are wrong.

[Louis Pentano]

No, they're right. No, I see now that they're right.

[Scott Aukerman]

We've. We've seen it right before our very eyes.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're a star.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're a star.

[Louis Pentano]

They're. There's absolutely no market for a person that can do the entire opening number.

[Devin Greenglove]

I wouldn't say.

[Eugene Mirman]

But you're a bird.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're not a person.

[Eugene Mirman]

There is a market for a bird that can do it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's right. The mere fact that you're a bird and you're talking to us right now.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah. I mean that alone. Oh, you just need. Yeah. You could tour as a stand up.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah. What you need is representation. Good. A good manager believes in you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you. Are you yourself.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm a bit to an administrator, so I could get you booked at Grumbledon. Oh, my God, a great theater.

[Louis Pentano]

You think I could do ghost chores in Grumbledon?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I'd love to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'd love to.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about acting?

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah. I was thinking we get.

[Scott Aukerman]

You downgraded yourself to just.

[Devin Greenglove]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Tour guide.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'd put you in a musical, but sure, you can help me run ghost tours.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, I think I could do that.

[Devin Greenglove]

It'd be easier for me to teach you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, this is part of the problem. You don't have the confidence to say, like, I want to be an actor. You're already just saying, oh, be a tour guide.

[Louis Pentano]

That seems like the most important thing that he was talking about earlier was how he was a tour guide.

[Devin Greenglove]

That is my thing. But I said, if you come all the way to Grumbledom, I. I'll get you. I'll get you a show. You got a great theater.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. You could do the Edinburgh Fringe Fest or something, you know, and then you

[Eugene Mirman]

could be on all those sort of British kind of games.

[Louis Pentano]

Like, would I lie to you?

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah, exactly. You could be on Taskmaster. Great on those.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Would I lie to you where you tell stories about being a bird? I mean, mean, who knows if you're lying or not.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, yeah. David and Lee, Matt. Like, I feel like I could really hang with those guys.

[Devin Greenglove]

What's the 10 cats? One and Countdown or something like that.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Devin Greenglove]

Speech. Countdown.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes. A bird from Boston on a British panel show.

[Scott Aukerman]

They love it.

[Devin Greenglove]

They'd love it.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Louis Pentano]

All right, you know what? I'm gonna give it one more shot, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

One more shot.

[Louis Pentano]

And if it doesn't work, I have no.

[Devin Greenglove]

I hope I did book you to run one tour just now already. Just when you said you'd do it, so you had to stop by Grumbledom and just do one.

[Louis Pentano]

I got booked. I don't have to move home. I got booked on time.

[Devin Greenglove]

You got booked due to ghost store.

[Eugene Mirman]

I booked.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, my God. I would like to thank God. Obviously, I'd like to thank my parents for not believing in me.

[Devin Greenglove]

It'll help my business if people come to see ghosts. And it's like not only that, a talking bird is gonna walk you through it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, Yeah, I would see that. That's amazing. Well, congratulations. You booked.

[Louis Pentano]

Yes. And, Scott, next time I see you, I will have an Emmy.

[Scott Aukerman]

I. Okay, I like that. Manifest one of your own or.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, no, I'll start plaque that says

[Eugene Mirman]

thank you for contributing to this Emmy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, guys, we are running out of time. We only have time, really, for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. Please read the notice on the podcast door when it's time to speak your plugs?

[Eugene Mirman]

Please don't be a fool?

[Scott Aukerman]

Keep them quick and simple? Make your meaning clear? Cause now it's time to speak your plugs? Now the moment's here?

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Now the moment's here.

[Devin Greenglove]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was Heart of the Plug Bag by Hallelujahape. Thanks to Hallelujah Ape. If you have a plugs theme, head over to cbbworld.com plugs and you can upload them there and find everything. Need to make the remixes for our closing themes. And Eugene, what are we plugging here?

[Eugene Mirman]

My special Here Comes the Whimsy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Eugene Mirman]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And I mean, that's the newest thing you have out there. Sure. You could go and investigate all of Eugene's career.

[Eugene Mirman]

Sure. But yeah, feel free to listen to other standup of mine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you'll probably be interested after you watch Here Comes the whimsy.

[Eugene Mirman]

Exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then Bob's Burgers is still on Sundays.

[Eugene Mirman]

Sundays. Yeah. I think it's back. Yeah. This spring, meaning it started back up.

[Scott Aukerman]

New. New episodes.

[Eugene Mirman]

New episodes airing now. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And how far ahead are you? Are you like two years in the future?

[Eugene Mirman]

I think we generally are working on the following the next year, so. So I think that, yeah, it takes probably about a year to make an episode.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Eugene Mirman]

Or something like that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Such a good show. And we're. We're glad you're here. And let's move on to Devin Greenlove. Devo, what do you want to plug?

[Devin Greenglove]

Well, I'd love to plug my ghost tours if you want Grumbled Far west of Ireland. Please look up Devon Green glove for me tours.

[Scott Aukerman]

And there's got to be a better way to direct people to your business. Look up. Look, Devin Greenglove.

[Devin Greenglove]

Look up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Once you get there, like, there's got to be, like, look at my name.

[Devin Greenglove]

And then see if people have talked about Me. And hopefully they'll have a link. I don't have a website.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm just saying, like, before people plan to already go.

[Devin Greenglove]

You're already there.

[Scott Aukerman]

They could buy tickets. I don't give a. You go ahead.

[Devin Greenglove]

And then also got. See. Oh, how about a podcast? Screw it. We're just going to talk about the Beatles. Hosted by Will Hines and some others, which is exactly as you'd expect. People talking about the Beatles, mostly saying they were good.

[Scott Aukerman]

I believe I was just on this show.

[Devin Greenglove]

You were just on. I heard your episode where you talked about.

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess that wasn't a comment.

[Devin Greenglove]

Paul McCartney.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Devin Greenglove]

And you were great on it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you. There's a comment that I was gonna thank you for.

[Devin Greenglove]

So, yeah, we got cool stuff, like, they got cool stuff like that.

[Louis Pentano]

What did you say your favorite Beatles song was?

[Devin Greenglove]

Oh, Dabwin.

[Scott Aukerman]

That. That never came up. Actually, I don't.

[Devin Greenglove]

What's your favorite?

[Scott Aukerman]

It's definitely not the one that the Beatles cover band would start their sets with. When I worked at Cafe Cordial back in the 90s, this happened once before. That's my least favorite because that would tell me, oh, boy, I'm in for the long haul.

[Devin Greenglove]

I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'll have to get back to those particular people on their own show.

[Devin Greenglove]

Can't wait to hear about it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. And Louis Pentano. What do you. You plugging?

[Louis Pentano]

Obviously. Check me out in the Ghost tour. I just received word that I get to be the floating juice tray that we use to trick the tourists.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey.

[Louis Pentano]

What?

[Devin Greenglove]

Sorry, that's a private text just to me and you, Louie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Louis Pentano]

Sorry.

[Devin Greenglove]

Don't you worry about it. The Patty Green Leo.

[Scott Aukerman]

The floating juice tray is fake.

[Devin Greenglove]

No, not always.

[Scott Aukerman]

No. No, not always.

[Louis Pentano]

No. They get a bird to carry it, so it's not fake.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no wonder you perked up when we said there'd be a bird on the show. Oh, no.

[Devin Greenglove]

Something sometimes I'd also like to plug.

[Louis Pentano]

Hey, Riddle. Riddle. It's a riddle podcast, if you're interested in that sort of thing. I have not recovered from doing that opening.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, yeah, just take it easy.

[Louis Pentano]

I genuinely feel lightheaded.

[Scott Aukerman]

We'll get you some juice. Don't worry.

[Louis Pentano]

My heart beating in my chin, which has never happened to me before.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my gosh. Well, I want to plug. Hey, the Comedy Bang Bang tour starts a week from today.

[Devin Greenglove]

Sounds great.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you can imagine, it starts 5-12-25 in Toronto, and then we continue around the Midwest for a couple of weeks. St. Paul, Madison, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Royal Oak, Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City. And then we go to the South. Atlanta, Nashville, Charleston, Durham. And then we go back east. Washington, D.C. new York, Philadelphia, Boston, Fairfield, Connecticut, Portland, Maine. And then we're going to the uk, if you can believe it. And Ireland. Ireland. And then we go to the west coast. And then we go to the Southwest. And then, boy howdy, we're in Los Angeles by September 19th. September 19th. Show just went on sale on Friday, so tickets are probably still on sale for that. That one has hey Randy. The hey Randy podcast with Randy Snuts opening for us. And these are all going to be a really good time. It's Paul F. Tompkins, myself and a rotating cast of the Comedy Bang Bang All Stars. We're gonna all be out there are entertaining America and beyond. So I hope you come out and see us. Tickets are available [e-mail] tour and while you're over at CBB World, check out everything we have over there, including the aforementioned hey Randy podcast, as well as shows like the Neighborhood Listen ad free episodes of this show, the entire archive of Comedy bang bang. All 900 and almost a thousand episodes, plus every live show we've ever done one. It's really good stuff over there. All right, let's close up the old plug bag. Speaking of Arist chats. Kiss we chad's ass. We. Should we kiss sweet Chad's ass. It did not be that kind of sweet Chad's ass. Wow, how crazy that you mentioned Aerosmith. This is like. Are our computers listening to us and making plug themes? I don't know. But you mentioned Aerosmith. Yeah, that was sweet. Chat emotion by burnsui. Thank you to burnsui. And speaking of, thank you, thanks to all of my guests. You just Gene. So glad you're still with us and so glad that I could see you one last time. This concludes our friendship.

[Eugene Mirman]

It was really a pleasure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wonderful to have you on the show. And Devin Greenlove.

[Devin Greenglove]

Hello.

[Scott Aukerman]

What can one say about Devin Greenlove?

[Devin Greenglove]

Was I interesting or not? Be honest.

[Scott Aukerman]

The fact that you're cheating the people who take your tour isn't having a floaty.

[Devin Greenglove]

Not always true.

[Scott Aukerman]

90% of the time the trey is.

[Eugene Mirman]

I think it's impressive that you can train birds to carry a tray.

[Devin Greenglove]

Thank you.

[Eugene Mirman]

Other than the birds that are obviously sentient enough to do it on their own.

[Louis Pentano]

I got fired. Devin already fired me over text.

[Scott Aukerman]

What?

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, Louie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Louis Pentano, thanks for being here. What happened? How did Devin already fire you?

[Louis Pentano]

I just lost my dream job because apparently, you're not supposed to tell company secrets.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you broke the NDA.

[Louis Pentano]

I did.

[Devin Greenglove]

That's right. Oh, no, I hate to do it. So sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm so sorry. I guess. Are your dreams of show business dashed or.

[Louis Pentano]

Yeah, back to square one. I'm just gonna.

[Scott Aukerman]

You can't even say square one.

[Louis Pentano]

Square.

[Devin Greenglove]

I'm.

[Louis Pentano]

I genuinely am never doing that again.

[Scott Aukerman]

In your life?

[Louis Pentano]

In my life. That. That took years off my life.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know. I. I think if you ever pop up on the Comedy Bang Bang tour, it may be a request.

[Eugene Mirman]

Oh, God.

[Louis Pentano]

Oh, no. I have to start working out for that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Jesus Christ. All right, we'll see you next time. Thanks. Bye. Hey, it's Kelly Ripa, and if you don't know, I have a. A podcast where I get to say whatever I want. Hold on, Let me get a shovel

[Eugene Mirman]

and a body bag.

[Scott Aukerman]

I envision doing a podcast with the conversations that happen in my dressing room off camera, where people feel free to talk. No hair, no makeup. This is my kind of job. Only Kelly Reaper can ask me these questions. I'm flipping the script and saying what's really on my mind. We're seeing a different side of you. It's a little bit more honest. When the cameras go off, the real fun begins.

[Devin Greenglove]

Get my hair done over here.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, this is an off camera podcast, so it doesn't even matter. It's unfiltered conversations and unexpected confessions.

[Devin Greenglove]

My mom says, woody, I knew your dad.

[Scott Aukerman]

Stop the presses. I would like to volunteer to administer any and all DNA tests.

[Devin Greenglove]

Maybe that should be part of the show.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's talk off camera with me, Kelly Rapat. You just. Just put that in the universe. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts. The Sprite Berry Blast is here. A crispy blue Sprite with a dollop of cold foam.

[Eugene Mirman]

It's very, very good.

[Scott Aukerman]

One of many new drinks now at McDonald's.

[Devin Greenglove]

And, Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date? Oh, no. We help people customize and save on

[Devin Greenglove]

car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Devin Greenglove]

Anyways, get a [e-mail] or with your local agent.

[Louis Pentano]

Liberty. Liberty.

[Scott Aukerman]

Liberty. Liberty.
