Jones for that catchphrase submission. I was able to say it. That's a plus. I've been having trouble saying the catchphrases recently that are submitted. So that one came out of me. Usually I trip over the last third on one of the words, but I was able to say it. I don't know that I can say this every single episode. You know, two bits, four bits, six bit. See, then I said bix.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Get out of here, Bosco T. Jones. I'm not going to do it. Thank you for your submission though. Wonderful to have you submit a catchphrase. The hunt continues. But welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. We have an exceptional episode coming up a little later. We have a child. Just a child. Okay. We also have a talent wrangler. Okay, well we have some talent on this show certainly because I want to introduce him. He is our first guest on the show. He is entering the exclusive two timers club on the show. Of course, he was on the TV show once, but you know him from such movies as Deadpool 2.

[Alan Tudyk]

If you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that the first credit.

[Alan Tudyk]

Blink and miss me. Deadpool 2.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was the first one I just looked down on. But you know him as Wash on Firefly and Serenity. Of course he's in. Does. Does a voice on every Disney animated movie, I believe, that's been released in the last eight years. 10 years.

[Alan Tudyk]

15.

[Scott Aukerman]

15 years.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're like the Cliff Clavin of the Disney. Disney. Yeah. And we'll get to that in a second. I know we talked about that last time. I don't want to repeat our exact conversations. Since you're entering into the Two Timers Club.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I want this to be new stuff.

[Alan Tudyk]

Okay, cool. I got some new Mater.

[Scott Aukerman]

And he has the fourth season of his show. Resident Alien is out now, but people will basically remember him as Ray Starsky from the Christmas episode of Comedy Bang Bang.

[Alan Tudyk]

Exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Lonely island episode from season two. Of course. Please welcome back to the show in the Two Timers Club, Alan Tudyk.

[Alan Tudyk]

Thank you very much.

[Scott Aukerman]

How are you? Great to see you again.

[Alan Tudyk]

Thank you. It's good to be here. It's good to see you as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Now, you were last on six years ago and you were talking about a play. How did that go?

[Alan Tudyk]

It went wonderfully.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let me refresh your memory.

[Alan Tudyk]

Was it. I think it was mysterious circumstances. Mysterious circumstances, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

How did it go?

[Alan Tudyk]

It went really well. It was my first play and now only play in Los Angeles. They haven't had me back in any of the plays.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was it like the band that I used to be in where they broke up and reformed without me? Did everyone else in the play start a different play? But you were the only person who didn't come back?

[Alan Tudyk]

I have been back to the theater and have seen some of my fellow castmates in other productions.

[Scott Aukerman]

So they moved on without you?

[Alan Tudyk]

They did.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Alan Tudyk]

I know. It's okay. You know, it was like a special role. I got to play like two characters within it and it was all about Sherlock Holmes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you play Holmes and I know we must have talked about this six years ago, but the facts of it elude me at this point.

[Alan Tudyk]

Me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Were you Holmes and Watson or. Because that would be hard because they talk to each other.

[Alan Tudyk]

No, I was Holmes and the foremost Sherlock Holmes collector of things. And. And I'm saying in the modern era or. Well, he was in the modern era, but he was killed mysteriously.

[Scott Aukerman]

What the.

[Alan Tudyk]

And then Sherlock Holmes shows up to solve the crime of the guy who died.

[Scott Aukerman]

I gotta see this show. Are you still gonna do it or.

[Alan Tudyk]

No, no, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was six years ago.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. It was six years ago. I've moved on as well. But it was like, really? Yeah. Surprisingly.

[Scott Aukerman]

You haven't thought about this every single night since.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Trying to remember character names.

[Scott Aukerman]

The reason I bring it up, I. I was like, oh, yeah, Alan's been on the show before. Residential Alien. He must have been promoting that. Then I looked it up and I was like, oh, it was six years ago. Oh, you're one of the. I've talked about the hierarchy of podcast guests here. Of course. We love our movie stars.

[Alan Tudyk]

Right?

[Scott Aukerman]

TV stars. Hey, great, we'll take them. Then you go to comedian with a special. Oh, getting a little dodgier.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then authors. And then every once in a while, we're forced to take a fellow podcaster.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, my God. Jeez.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I was like, oh, wow. So Alan, he's a TV star for Resident Alien. He must have been promoting that. But then you threw a monkey into my hierarchy with guy in play. I don't even know where to rank that.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, man. It's somewhere below novelist, I'm fairly sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Probably might be below podcaster. I don't know.

[Alan Tudyk]

But no, it is a tradition. It is a. I mean, it wasn't.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like you were in Hamilton or something like that. Like, you know, I. I'm sure it was a great play, but that's it.

[Alan Tudyk]

It was. And it could have gone to Broadway and it still. Hey, it might have without me. It's very possible. I haven't. I haven't been keeping track of things in New York.

[Scott Aukerman]

Speaking of musicals, though, do you sing? Jeremy Piven. Do you. Do you. That's an inside joke. Do you sing? Could you be in musicals if they. You don't sing? It's so interesting because you do. You're such an exceptional mimic and voice artist. You can control your voice so dynamically. I would think that you would be able to sing as well.

[Alan Tudyk]

You would think. And I was in a musical on Broadway.

[Scott Aukerman]

Which one?

[Alan Tudyk]

Spamalot.

[Landon]

You were.

[Scott Aukerman]

I. You have a Spamalot energy.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, well, Hank Azaria originated the role of. It's multiple roles again, it was Lancelot. And you're a multiple role guy. Yeah, that's me. I've been from. From the 90s. I've been.

[Scott Aukerman]

What if you only played one role in every. You still got to be in all the movies and TV shows you've ever done, but it had to be the one role, like Richard Belzer. Would it still be as satisfying? I don't know.

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't think so.

[Scott Aukerman]

Because you're a Multiple role guy.

[Alan Tudyk]

Exactly. It's much more fulfilling. I played, you know, I did a bunch of stuff in it, but I sang what Hank could sing. And no offense, because Hank can. He's actually touring with like a Bruce Springsteen.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is he part of the E Street Band now?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, he's like. He does a. He does a cover band and a sing alike.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sort of like what Michael Shannon does with R.E.M.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Alan Tudyk]

And he's. Last time I ran into him in New York and he was doing that. And so I did everything I had.

[Scott Aukerman]

To be a rich movie or TV actor and just tour around the country singing songs.

[Alan Tudyk]

Whatever you want. Always wanted to be this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. God damn it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So. So you were able to sing what he was able to sing, which is not. No offense, not as. Not as challenging. Right, right.

[Alan Tudyk]

The guy, Chris Sieber, who played Galahad Take, you know, he is a brilliant musical theater artist and can sing and can hammer his voice and it still comes out clear. I was. I had to be on like. I couldn't go to restaurants because if you had to talk over a din, then I would lose all ability.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about that thing? Like, I've seen that. Every Broadway actor uses it now. It's the thing you put over your face now and you breathe in like fumes and stuff like that at night before you go to bed or you. This was. This was early Spamalot. We didn't have these things back then.

[Alan Tudyk]

It didn't exist. We just had to do just, you know, steroid injections in the throat in the back alley behind the theater. Me and Harvey Fierstein. Give me some juice.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is he still. Still doing his show, his one man show back then?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, he does. He's. He did a fiddler.

[Scott Aukerman]

He did a. Oh, that's right. Yes.

[Alan Tudyk]

He's more. He's more writing now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. I like. Look, his show was great.

[Alan Tudyk]

Kinky boots.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Harvey Fierstein. I love John Lovitz's impression of him. I just want to be loved. Is that so wrong? One of the greats. And of course. So you've done Broadway. Yes, but now we're talking about TV stars. You've bounced back from this play business and you're back on TV finally. It's gotta feel good, right?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, sure. Yes, it does. It does. Especially in the current climate.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, it's great to have a show, especially a show for four seasons with this many episodes. Like season two is like 16 episodes. How many episodes a year do you do?

[Alan Tudyk]

It's changed every year, every season. So the first season was 10. And then they went, you know what? We can save money because it's a broadcast. It was on Sci Fi and now it's on usa. But when it was on Sci Fi.

[Scott Aukerman]

They said, United States of America.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, I know. Just right when that brand is hitting. We moved over to usa.

[Scott Aukerman]

Strong, strong brand.

[Alan Tudyk]

So they said, we can. We can save money if we just make a bunch more episodes. So we made 16. And then the Pandemic hit. No, the Pandemic hit the first one and then we did 16. And that was a lot. And then we.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's like old school television. That's like er, days and stuff.

[Alan Tudyk]

Almost. It's almost those guys. I don't know how they do it, but let me. Then there was the strike to relax and chill.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. That's. I've always gotten that sense of you.

[Alan Tudyk]

You know, I do. And I. And I don't do it as much as I should.

[Scott Aukerman]

You should.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm here to tell you you need to take take a breath. I'm looking at your resume here. There's too much stuff on it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, I agree.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what I mean? Let's. Let's pare it down.

[Alan Tudyk]

I have. I have begun now that Resident Alien is over, turning down jobs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now. This is the last season of Resident Alien. Is that true?

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't think we're saying that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, great.

[Alan Tudyk]

But again, in this climate, you never know.

[Scott Aukerman]

You never know. It could. A show can always come back. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point the people at IFC reach out to me about my old TV show. Yeah, I actually would be surprised at this point. I wouldn't have been surprised four years ago.

[Alan Tudyk]

Is IFC still around?

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think it's still a going concern at this point. I think they were doing documentary now every five years, and I think they've closed up shop over there. Doesn't mean they don't want to keep it on their own streaming service and not license it anymore anywhere else. But now let's talk about Resident Alien. Unless you want to keep talking about my show. We were great on it.

[Alan Tudyk]

We can. Thank you. Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I. Crawling around in the ducks.

[Alan Tudyk]

I agree. I was worried. I was worried about my performance and I really liked it when I saw it.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was really.

[Alan Tudyk]

I liked me. Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was a great episode, too. The Lonely island guys.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. But let's talk about Resident Alien season four out now. By all accounts, you play a character named Harry Vander Spiegel.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, yes. Yeah. He's well, he was a man. And then an alien comes down. And this goes back to season one, right. Where the alien kills the man and takes his identity. He is able to shift the atoms around and he is now this guy.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's sort of like Jon Jones in the DC universe. The Martian Manhunter.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yep. And I'm. I haven't gotten around to that one. That book. Okay, that book. But that's. I'm gonna say yep, yep. Because it sounds like it.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is similarly based on a comic book.

[Alan Tudyk]

It is. Yeah. It's a. It's a graphic novel.

[Scott Aukerman]

How would. How does the alien come down and kill the first guy? I know this is all spoilers for Resident Evil Alien, but I, you know, I don't. It's not too gruesome, is it?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Had him.

[Alan Tudyk]

No, he was.

[Scott Aukerman]

His style.

[Alan Tudyk]

He was just coming down to kill all the human. Oh, no. Yeah, he just sawed his head off with a. With like one of those Rambo knives. He. He, he was just coming here to drop a bomb to kill all the humans and leave Earth intact.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's all he was doing.

[Alan Tudyk]

That's all he was doing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

But he crash landed and then finds himself in this house.

[Scott Aukerman]

He decided to go one at a time.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. He's got to get his hands dirty.

[Scott Aukerman]

A little slower, but, yeah, he had that bloodlust.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Yeah. So he. The guy hits him. I mean, the Hair Adventure wheel hits him with a fireplace poker. So he started.

[Scott Aukerman]

He started it. Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Then I just.

[Scott Aukerman]

Was he breaking and entering? Was it a B and E first?

[Alan Tudyk]

I was B and E ing. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you started.

[Alan Tudyk]

I did. You're right. You're right.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's his own home. Stand your ground laws.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. And then, well, it. It turns out that he wasn't a nice guy anyway, but I.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that's good.

[Alan Tudyk]

I throw him off a balcony and kill him. I strangle him a bit and then I throw him off.

[Landon]

Jesus Christ.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. And then I take over his identity and then I'm in this little town of patience and we root for you. Yes, wildly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, the guy's not a nice guy. Right. What do we find to mitigate it? I'm sure you find out, like, certain.

[Alan Tudyk]

Things about as the season goes on. Yeah. You do start to find.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, good. So we're. We're like, okay, that was a little gruesome. Do you think, though? I know you know the ending of the series, which is out now. Does he eventually have to pay for his crimes? Is he executed?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, no, he's. I don't want no spoilers, but he is not executed. Although there is a threat of it at one point, but. Okay. You know, he. He tries to kill a boy for a while, this little kid for most of the seasons.

[Scott Aukerman]

What?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Oh, he's trying to kill this kid. Number one. He just wants to kill him. But the kid's smarter than him. Judah praying. He was so cute when he started out and he's now. He's a handsome young, like 13 year old. Yeah, he's 13.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Alan Tudyk]

His voice is shifted into something new.

[Scott Aukerman]

I feel like with kid actors, you got to write the entire like four or five seasons, get them to film it all while they're still cute and then send them on their way.

[Alan Tudyk]

Well, he's still cute, but to a different.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. In a different level, in a different way. We want to mitigate or we want to clarify. That kid is still very cute, just in a more manly way at this point.

[Alan Tudyk]

Right. And to this equally young ladies of his home, I'm guessing this would all embarrass him. So that's why I'm glad to hear that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hopefully he's not listening. What's his name, though? We want his fans.

[Alan Tudyk]

Judah. Judah Prain.

[Scott Aukerman]

Judah Prain. If you're listening there, just tag Judah Prain on social media. Media to listen to this. But. So. But is part of the show, though. You go around solving crimes as well.

[Alan Tudyk]

We do solve some crimes. I saw.

[Scott Aukerman]

And these are big crimes. These are not like shoplifting or.

[Alan Tudyk]

One is who killed. There was a doctor. So when I first land, they. So I'm out in this cabin and they come and get the. This doctor out in this cabin and they're like, it's a small town of patients. Like, what is this doctor still doing here? And she's like, I don't know. They always say he leaves before wintertime, but he's been here all winter. And he's like, well, there he is. He's out on his boat. And they call me in and they say, you're a doctor. And he's like, just use. Use your doctor in town. I. They're like, we have a. We. We need to see what happened. There was a murder. And he's like, use the doctor in town. I'm like, that's who murdered. That's who's murdered. So now I become the town doctor.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Alan Tudyk]

And that's why I got to figure out who killed him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. So you did you or.

[Alan Tudyk]

Turns out it was the guy I killed.

[Scott Aukerman]

Whoa.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yep. Yep.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pretty good. Nice.

[Alan Tudyk]

Pretty good. Pretty Good. That's season one.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's good, right? That's just season one.

[Alan Tudyk]

That's just season one. It's a. It's a pretty sweet season, so.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then in this season, I watched a little bit of. Of the first episode and you're. Okay, now I'm going to ask a question. I'm going to see if I actually did watch it, because I'm confused. Are you trapped in a prison?

[Alan Tudyk]

I am. I am. A prison on the moon.

[Scott Aukerman]

Prison on the moon. Is this a prison that earthlings have constructed or other alien races, Gray aliens?

[Alan Tudyk]

The ones that we all know about. The ones the mart. Yeah, the ones that do the.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Up the.

[Scott Aukerman]

Up the. Yeah, got it. And so they. They are not satisfied with just sticking things up people's rectums. They want to build prisons. Now they're getting into the prison industrial complex.

[Alan Tudyk]

They steal babies. That's their whole thing. Yes. They steal babies. They steal babies.

[Scott Aukerman]

To what end?

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't know that I can say. Okay, that is a spoiler. But it does come out this season.

[Scott Aukerman]

Whoa. Okay, so they've been stealing babies for now three seasons and you don't know why? Like, are babies just missing all the time?

[Alan Tudyk]

And some people have realized they had been abducted when they were younger. They were babies that were stolen.

[Scott Aukerman]

And are they returned as full grown adults or.

[Alan Tudyk]

Some are returned as full grown adults. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Whoa. Oh, my God.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Some are never returned.

[Scott Aukerman]

This show sounds dynamite.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I gotta catch up from the beginning. How many episodes? We say 26, 36. Probably 46 or so.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Landon]

Wow.

[Alan Tudyk]

I think that's it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's. You can watch that in less than two days.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, but please don't, because in this climate, you know, it's so hard to make a TV show. I directed the first two episodes of this season. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Holy shit. How was that? Is this the first thing you've directed?

[Alan Tudyk]

I would say yes. Even though it is. I directed a small thing for the Internet and I leaned very heavily on my dp. This was an hour long show and very, very different from a little.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. And you kicked your DP of this off set. Right.

[Alan Tudyk]

Well, we could be on the set just at different times, just not allowed.

[Scott Aukerman]

To share the same Odd Couple style. You just tape down the middle of the.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, it worked really well.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'll take this half of the camera lens and you take that.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, it was. It was a very big challenge, man. It was so much. Because what we did was we. We crossboard. So it was two episodes. So two hours and we shot that in 15 days. Two hours.

[Scott Aukerman]

Two hours and 15 days. Whoa.

[Alan Tudyk]

And that is. And then I was acting in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's even harder.

[Alan Tudyk]

In the beginning, I play two aliens. There's another alien who's taking my place while I'm up in prison. So I would have scenes where I'm two different aliens and directing. And I'm directing. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you. Did you ever think to say, like, hey, can I just not act in this one? And I'll just direct it. You get some other guy to play my character that would. He changes shapes.

[Alan Tudyk]

They don't think anybody else can play this role but me. And I don't want to disappoint.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a valuable position to be in.

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't want to convince him otherwise.

[Scott Aukerman]

So how did you like it? Is it something that you want to get into?

[Alan Tudyk]

I think I would like to do a. A movie. I would like to do a short film. I want to. I want to go backwards now. I want to do a short. A short. Let me do a short.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Alan Tudyk]

And that is like a beginning and an end. When you're doing a show and you're directing, you're directing. But also there's a.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's a sort of system in place where everyone knows how these things are already made. And for ease to get directors in and out, they kind of have the way that they shoot them already set up.

[Alan Tudyk]

Right. There's a set style to things, and things can. You can get overridden on ideas and things like that in a way that I'm sure you do on films and. But the edit. Look, I don't want to say this out loud. Are you recording this whole time?

[Scott Aukerman]

To be honest, I don't know. I've had some issues in the past with the recording, but. But yeah, basically, in tv, the director doesn't have a lot of the power that he does in film, where it's kind of taken away and someone else edits it and you get it back and go like, oh, interesting choices. I wouldn't. That choice.

[Alan Tudyk]

Here's one. Here's one. Just. Just so. Just so young directors out there who. Who don't know. Here's a. Here's a idea that I didn't know this could be done. And I'm. I'll point the finger at NBC because they're huge. And who is that?

[Scott Aukerman]

NBC, The National Broadcasting Corporation.

[Alan Tudyk]

I was watching a scene. I'm like, there's another character here. Where's the character that was here?

[Scott Aukerman]

They just took a character completely out of a scene they took.

[Alan Tudyk]

He had a little bitty like little cameo thing where he comes in and has a little. He looks and kind of waves and gets out and they're like, yeah, we didn't like that, so we got rid of it.

[Scott Aukerman]

But let me just get clarity on. You put a scene where a guy just walks in, looks at the camera and waves and walks out.

[Alan Tudyk]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, I don't, I don't know who to root for in this situation.

[Alan Tudyk]

But I'm breaking boundaries. This is new ground, man. Yeah, was. It was a. It was somebody who.

[Scott Aukerman]

It in the context meant something at the time. But I mean that's, that's the problem with directing sometimes is you just gotta.

[Alan Tudyk]

For.

[Scott Aukerman]

For time for clarity of story. You just kind of gotta lose some of those things.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. And if you burn too much, you know, if somebody, if. Let's say an actor. I have a different relationship with actors now too.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

I think actors as, as you, when you're making something, it was sort of like making a movie, making these two episodes together. You have a team of people, the pre production, all these people who come together to make it happen. There's a thing called show and tell, a prop show and tell where you go through a table that has every prop you're going to use in the episode. So look at this toothbrush. Is this the toothbrush you wanted? No, no, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Because when you're on set, it's so expensive that you need to take care of all of these decisions beforehand so that you don't get to the set. And then you have to waste 20 minutes while someone finds a better toothbrush.

[Alan Tudyk]

Right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

So there's a lot of conversations about like, is that the toothbrush we have to have? Why is it wide on the back? It needs to be thinner. And all the things you figure out.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Alan Tudyk]

So there's so many people come together. This is how we're going to. We got to, we're. It's going to be a tough day. You start out your day, you're the first one there. Oh my gosh. And then the actors kind of swan on drinking like coconut water with, you know, headphones in. And they're like, put more makeup on me. And it's like, didn't you. You already have so much makeup on? There's so much. And you've had all morning to do this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Requested more makeup in the chair.

[Alan Tudyk]

Last looks, because then they come in for last looks to make sure that it's all perfect. And because this is ultimately Network television and it. And there is a standard, but everyone.

[Scott Aukerman]

Has great hair when they're on a TV show. And they all. They all have these, like, working class jobs. And I'm like, you've just spent three hours in hair and makeup. How did you do it before you got to work today?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Or they wake up in the morning, full face of makeup, just shake their hair out.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Except the English. The English TV shows that you'll see on the streamers, I love those. They're all messed up. They look like people.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, man, that would be so great to do one of those. Right? You do four or six episodes and then you just, like, take the rest of the year off.

[Alan Tudyk]

They pay terribly. All right. In this climate, it's okay. I did a. I did an film in England a long time ago called Death at a Funeral. There's an English one. There's an American one. I'm in the English one. And I remember getting last looks from my makeup artist and hair because they're one person in England and they're like last looks. And she was way across this field and she put her. Her hand over her eyes like she's squinted. Yeah. Squinted. Like she's on the prow of a ship spotting land and goes, yeah, you're all right.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's the level of attention to detail that the English have when they're putting things together.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. What do you want more for?

[Scott Aukerman]

Speaking of England, I. I wonder if you filmed this in England, but we saw your return to the Star wars universe with Andor this season.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You play K2. So K2. So. And fans were so excited to see your back because you're in the movie Rogue One, and Andor is a prequel, and so people were like, do we get to see. And then, man, when all those robots popped up, it's like, oh, I think he might be one of them. And, yeah, there. And you were in a good, like, four episodes in the back or so two.

[Alan Tudyk]

But it was so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

So much content that it felt like before.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

But that character is so funny, and you're so funny in it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Thank you, ma' am.

[Scott Aukerman]

And great to have you back. Was that a thrill to get that call of, like, yay, I'm back in Andor?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, it was, but there were two calls. There was that you're back in Andor in the last two seasons you're going to be in. So don't freak out when you're not in Andor. We're doing five seasons, and then you'll be in the last two. And then they did the first season. It took almost three years to make. And they went, all right, so we're not doing five seasons of this. Andor is going to be 60 when we get to the prequel. You know, going into Rogue One, he.

[Scott Aukerman]

Actually looks pretty much the same because I rolled right into to Rogue One after watching Andor. I was like, this dude doesn't age. Look at this guy.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, he did all right. Yeah, he would, he would probably quibble with you, but. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. But I, I. It's great to have your character there. And it's so funny to watch Rogue One right afterwards because, you know, Felicity Jones gets. She's like, has as big a part as Andor in the movie Rogue One. And you're like, I've just spent like 24 hours with Andorra. I know him really well. Who are you? So I want to see a prequel series of her character now with two seasons.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then we see how they link up.

[Alan Tudyk]

I think I like it because then she would have her saw Guerrero years with. Yeah. Forest Whitaker.

[Scott Aukerman]

That would be amazing. And then you, then you watch Rogue One. It would make sense if, like, oh, these two people that we know so well are finally meeting up. That would be great.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Can you get me this job?

[Alan Tudyk]

I was just an Iowa.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't mean I want to write or make it. I just want to be in charge of it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, I think that job is available. Yeah, it's. It is. I've been able to do a lot of some, Some stuff with him recently. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You said you were just at.

[Alan Tudyk]

@ ilm.

[Scott Aukerman]

At ilm.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And what were you doing?

[Alan Tudyk]

I was with Tony Gilroy doing just sort of promotional stuff for. They're doing a big Emmy campaign for Andor. For Andor.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

And I've never done one of those before. I realized when I was doing that one because it is different.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've never done. You've never been. I'm trying to think of something you would have done. I mean, I guess Firefighter fly.

[Alan Tudyk]

No, they canceled us.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

So things, things that I've done have either been. Have been. Oh, they've been cancelled. They've been cancel. Yeah, they've been cancelled. And there haven't been. There's never been a moment. I've never been on a show that's been like, while it's on. People like it. Firefly got big after it was over. And that was kind of the. One of the reasons why it got big was cuz, like, why would you cancel this.

[Scott Aukerman]

You idiot. I mean, I. I tried to get you out there for your episode of Comedy Bang Bang as guest star, but then. Then I found out they didn't even submit me for the show. Yeah, maybe. It might have been a bone of contention between the network and I.

[Alan Tudyk]

That's. I'm. I'm living a similar life with Resident Alien. But, you know, we. You go and you do these. You do these showings of episodes and you talk, and it gets. You get to answer questions that fans have, but they've gotten really like. And doing it with Tony Gilroy, like, he's very candid and just talks about the whole process and how hard it was and. And he just. Yeah, easy. It's. It's fun to listen to. I learned a lot. It's an insane show. I.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's so good.

[Alan Tudyk]

It re. It really, really is. I think it's an important show. I can't believe it's ruined other shows for me now. I watch other shows that I used to like that. I'm like, what is this crap? Yeah, this is. You can't. No, this is. This is.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's like, I can't watch the Circle without going like, this is an andor. You know, what's the Circle? Is that Netflix reality show or. They're right. Trapped in an apartment building.

[Alan Tudyk]

I. I don't watch those shows. I don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, Mr. Classy over here.

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't watch any reality shows.

[Scott Aukerman]

Any reality shows.

[Alan Tudyk]

None. None. Yeah, I know. I can't. I don't. It makes. If it's. Yeah, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you. What do you do for fun? What does Alan do to do for fun?

[Alan Tudyk]

I go hiking.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really?

[Alan Tudyk]

I do that. I go hiking with my. My wife and my dogs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that's fun, I guess, for, like, one hour. How do you feel about the rest of the day?

[Alan Tudyk]

We've been living in Vancouver for the last several years doing Resident Alien, so a lot of the hiking is like three, four hours.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Alan Tudyk]

All right. There's bears. You see bears on your path.

[Scott Aukerman]

That sounds terrible.

[Alan Tudyk]

It was a little scary.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's still alive.

[Alan Tudyk]

I know, because a biker came up and he's like, there's a bear behind me. And then it turned the corners. This massive bear just walking towards a black bear walking towards us on the path in this skinny little path. And he goes, I'm sorry, I've led him to you, because he was gonna get away. He had a bike. And my wife, who is Canadian, goes, oh, it's a black bear. So we just have to scare it. And she goes like that. It was so cute. And the bear just, like, cringed and very politely walked off the trail into the woods.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cringed, like, embarrassed for her.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't see you there. Oh, that is not a good look, honey.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like watching the Office.

[Alan Tudyk]

I'm gonna leave you to whatever this is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, this is, this sounds fun. I, I, you're, you're in this big television show that's done 46 episodes. Season four of Resident Alien is out now. Do you have anything on the horizon that, that, that we can talk about?

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, I'm gonna be in Superman.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, shit. That's right.

[Alan Tudyk]

I'm a, I'm a robot again. I do robots and aliens.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And you do, and you do animals. When you in, in the movies where you're the only white person, like Ryan.

[Alan Tudyk]

You crack the code on that.

[Scott Aukerman]

They're like, we need Helen in this. He can't play one of the characters. Let's make him a chicken.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yep. Yep.

[Scott Aukerman]

How did you get involved in this? Of like, why are you the good luck charm for, For Disney?

[Alan Tudyk]

My God. It was just. I did Wreck It Ralph, where I played King Candy, who, You know, this guy who sounded like Edwin. It was. They said, we'd like him to pattern him after Ed Wynn, the vaudevillian actor.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you said, okay, I'll just do it. When.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, yes, I can do that. Yes, here it is. And after the read through, John Lasseter was like, man, it is good to meet you. And he said it in this weird way that was like that it, like, made me go, oh, that's a. I think that was a good thing, the way he said that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that seems, like, pretentious.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes, and it certainly was, because then they put me in Frozen, this movie that they had on the shelf for a while, this script that they're like, I don't know. We don't know what we're doing with this. And they're like, well, let's pull it. Let's make a musical. And they said, play this old man who's the Duke of Weselton, who, who's in this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who dances like a chicken with the.

[Alan Tudyk]

Face of a monkey. I fly.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's on regular rotation in this house. My daughter.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. So that guy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

And then they, after that, they said, and I think it was last year, was like, alan's our good luck charm.

[Scott Aukerman]

I was like, yep, I certainly am.

[Alan Tudyk]

Gosh. Yes. That's. That's exactly what did that.

[Scott Aukerman]

And so is it just how. As, as Someone who is a working actor who now has a career where I'm looking at your, your resume here. You're in too much stuff. Save some for the rest of us. But what would you say to aspiring actors out there? What is the secret of your success? Do you come prepared? Are you pleasant to work with? What do. Mainly because that was my experience with you. But what do mainly you want the impression to be of you when you leave a set?

[Alan Tudyk]

I think you definitely have to be pleasant to work with.

[Scott Aukerman]

With.

[Alan Tudyk]

That's because that's how you get cast after people. People will see you and they'll go, oh, you know what? If they, somebody sees you in that thing, they'll call. People know each other. So they can call the person who hired you and say, what were they like on set?

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Alan Tudyk]

And then that's your green light or your.

[Scott Aukerman]

So what are you like on set? Are you just like a chill dude or what? Or, or, you know what I mean?

[Alan Tudyk]

It depends on the set. You know, in AT and Resident Alien, I'm much more involved because I've been doing it for so long and I'm lead and so I'll have, if I have ideas, I, I voice them and, and talk with Chris about them and Chris Sheridan, who created the show. And I, I've already, we're already working on them before we get there. So, yeah, I'm pretty easy going. When it's a show that I'm supporting and I'm a guest on somebody's show, I tend to be, you know, thankful to be there.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you, I mean, on the comedy Bang Bang TV show, it was just a straight offer. We, you know, fan of your work, obviously. And so we just offered and rolled.

[Alan Tudyk]

The dice on that one, you took it.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think you'd seen the show or anything like that, but maybe you heard who was involved or something.

[Alan Tudyk]

I had seen it. I had seen it.

[Scott Aukerman]

You'd seen it. And then I knew who you were.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, and I was a fan of Reggie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And so you just. And you showed up, you were prepared, you knew all your lines, which on that show, it sounds like that shouldn't be a compliment, but you were in the top 10% of people we cast on that show. You knew all your lines, you came, you were funny, you were prepared and you were a pleasant person to work with. And I think, you know, it does not surprise me to, to see that Disney keeps bringing you back and everyone just wants to work with you.

[Alan Tudyk]

The cool thing about Disney, and this is something that in all voiceover stuff that I found. Well, not all voiceover. Most voiceover. They, they'll let you improv a lot. Like, they, you'll have like a four hour chunk of time to record and you are done in two hours. And then you just play.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

And so much stuff comes out of that.

[Scott Aukerman]

They actually like it better. In fact, most, most of the animated movies that I was working on, the scripts weren't written yet. So they were kind of relying on the actors to like, improv a lot and lead them into like. Oh, we don't have to write this line anymore.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Well, Alan, resident alien is out right now. People can see it on usa, the United States of America network.

[Alan Tudyk]

That's the one.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you want people to be chant USA and clapping as they watch.

[Alan Tudyk]

Well, no, chant USA up until the watch. Got it. And then pause for that.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then once it ends right back. Back into it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have more with Alan. We're gonna have a child here. We also have a talent wrangler. This is an exciting show for you to be part of.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, yes, it's the sweet spot. Fridays at 11, right after.

[Scott Aukerman]

So all the. All the teens and adults are gone out of the house and the kids who might be interested in genre program are already in bed.

[Alan Tudyk]

It's. It's evidently USA's biggest night because they have wrestling.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Alan Tudyk]

So it's right after that. We're right after wrestling.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's actually makes sense. And it's good.

[Alan Tudyk]

So had. I mean, I wish that we had done some cross promotional wrestling stuff with me maybe wrestling someone as the alien killing the wrestlers. Ah, yes. Something. I think that could have. That could have gone a long way.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is the old silk stockings time slot, if you remember that.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes. Michael Jeter.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, Michael Jeter. Love him.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, let's get to our next guest. He is a child, but I know what you're asking. What child is this? Well, it's Landon. Please welcome Landon. Hi, Landon.

[Landon]

Hey, Scott. How's it going?

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that what you sound like?

[Landon]

Yeah, that's exactly how I sound like. Are you excited to have me?

[Scott Aukerman]

I am so excited to have you. This is Allan.

[Landon]

Hey, Allan.

[Alan Tudyk]

Hey, Landon.

[Landon]

Yeah, Landon, like land and then on.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it's. You're not to be confused with a fish or anything like that?

[Landon]

Correct. That would be water in. Yes, I'm land on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Landon]

Landon.

[Scott Aukerman]

Landon, of course, yeah.

[Landon]

Landon, do you have a piece of candy before we get started? Can I have a piece of candy?

[Scott Aukerman]

I. Alan, do you have a piece of candy on you by any in your pockets perhaps, or.

[Alan Tudyk]

No, I mean, I have a cough drop drop in my car.

[Landon]

Could you go get it? Any little piece of sugar would be really good.

[Scott Aukerman]

How far away did you park? I. Yeah, I don't think it's worth it.

[Alan Tudyk]

Okay, okay. It's secrets. You don't want that. It's not very sweet.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I don't. I'm afraid I don't keep a lot of candy here in the house.

[Landon]

Okay. All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Well, I. I apologize.

[Landon]

That's okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

If I had gotten some sort of advance from your people or whatever. You're just a kid.

[Landon]

Yeah, I don't really have an advanced.

[Scott Aukerman]

PR team, but yeah.

[Landon]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

But in any case, wonderful to have you on the show.

[Landon]

Thank you. Thank you so much. So you don't have any sort of candy or sweet or sugar or juice or like a fruit?

[Scott Aukerman]

A fruit? You take fruits?

[Landon]

Well, Candy. Fruit, ideally.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I don't. Not even fruit? Not even fruit.

[Landon]

Fruit. What do you eat?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, usually I start out the day. It's a little unconventional, I know, but I break my fast from the night before.

[Landon]

That is crazy. That's crazy.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, the normal human being stuff. I'm certainly not an alien who's here on Earth. I eat Earthling food.

[Landon]

Yeah, it sounds like you're having a tough time coming up with anything besides candy. I'm thinking you have a lot of candy in the house and you just don't want to tell me about.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't. I don't. I.

[Landon]

Is it okay if I walk around a little? I guess just sort of take the mic and check the room?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, sure. You want to walk around? Are we going to hear your footsteps as you walk around?

[Landon]

No, they're little. They're too little. You can hear them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Take one. Take one step and let me hear if I can hear it. I did hear a little something.

[Landon]

Hey, what is this over here?

[Scott Aukerman]

I can't quite get a.

[Landon]

It's just dust. A bunny.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Landon]

I thought it was going to be candy. I almost licked the floor.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, please don't do that, Landon.

[Landon]

Okay. Why not? Is there candy all over it? Hidden?

[Scott Aukerman]

No drugs, Scott. There aren't drugs here either. It's just dirt tends to. There is such a thing as gravity, and dirt tends to fall on the ground. If you were to lick the ceiling, I think there would be less dirt, ironically.

[Landon]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know why that would land.

[Alan Tudyk]

You might have an, an addiction. Is. Have you, has anybody ever said that. Yes, sugar can be very addictive?

[Landon]

I didn't know that. No, I, no, but I like it. I mean, I, I love it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Landon]

What's the last time you guys ate sugar? Any sugar in your mouth?

[Scott Aukerman]

In my mouth, currently.

[Alan Tudyk]

No. No, I, I am all right. I'm actually on a cleanse right now. I'm, I'm sugar free.

[Landon]

Yeah. Yuck.

[Donna Walkie]

Ouch.

[Scott Aukerman]

I probably had some last night. I had a little bit of ice cream, I think.

[Landon]

I love ice cream. What kind? Snickers, Snickerdoodle, cinnamon.

[Scott Aukerman]

Nothing Snicker related.

[Alan Tudyk]

Shoot. Shoot.

[Landon]

Scott, I got a mind to come over there and kiss your mouth on the inside. Inside out, just to see if there's.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sugar in it there. I, I, I swear to you, that was about almost 24 hours ago. I haven't had any sugar at this point. I, all right. I don't have any here in the recording studio.

[Landon]

This show stinks. Well, it stinks to be here.

[Scott Aukerman]

You wouldn't be the first to say that, but I think for the wrong reasons.

[Landon]

Why do other people say it? What's the other problem?

[Scott Aukerman]

Because it's a bad show.

[Landon]

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it stinks for two reasons, then. No candy, no laughs. I haven't laughed once.

[Alan Tudyk]

I.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I apologize, but I mean, honestly.

[Alan Tudyk]

I think that might be the withdrawals.

[Landon]

Yeah, could be.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, could be.

[Landon]

What is a withdrawal?

[Alan Tudyk]

A withdrawal is when your system wants the thing that you're addicted to but can't have it. And so your. But you can be in a bad mood because of it.

[Landon]

I am in a bad mood.

[Alan Tudyk]

You can have mood swings up and down.

[Landon]

I need it now.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, my.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I'm about to do something bad. What? What are you going to do? Please.

[Donna Walkie]

Color on the wall or.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, we just have these professionally done.

[Landon]

No, these.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really, this is professional, okay?

[Landon]

No offense. My dad works in paint y.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, wait, have I met him before?

[Landon]

I don't know. No, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's not a character. Ringing a weird. The character character.

[Landon]

I don't know about your life, Scott. I'm getting pissed off.

[Scott Aukerman]

Landon, try. Take a breath. See if you can manage your symptoms, okay? And tell us why you're here.

[Landon]

I don't know why I'm here. I was dropped off and I want candy. That's it. What are you looking for from me?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you're a guest on this talk show. I thought you came here to talk about something or.

[Landon]

Well, you're the adult.

[Scott Aukerman]

Adult. Okay, he's got me there.

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Landon]

What do you talk about with kids?

[Scott Aukerman]

I tried. I mean, I'm not necessarily.

[Landon]

Don't you have a kid?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, I have my. Yeah, I'm allowed to talk to that one.

[Landon]

Okay. Just one. You only get one kid of what, a week? How often are you allowed to talk to your own kid?

[Scott Aukerman]

I talk to my kid pretty much every day.

[Landon]

Oh, good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. We got a one a day rule, plus vitamins.

[Alan Tudyk]

Is there any sugar in those?

[Scott Aukerman]

Vitamins? There are sugar in them? Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Where do you keep them?

[Scott Aukerman]

I do. I have. What? Look, I have a cupboard over there. You're already walking towards it.

[Landon]

I'm tiptoeing, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was when we moved into this studio. There's one cupboard that has a padlock on it that we're not allowed. I mean, not. We're not. It's not that we're not allowed to open it. We just don't know the combination for it.

[Landon]

You don't know the combo at all?

[Scott Aukerman]

We don't know the combination. We've never been able to open this cupboard over here.

[Landon]

So what if I just try every combo for the rest of the show?

[Alan Tudyk]

Go.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Starting with what? I mean, it's a three one.

[Landon]

So 1, 1, 2, 1 2, 3.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it's a three digit.

[Landon]

Okay, so that'd be the first one.

[Scott Aukerman]

1, 2, 1 2, three. So 112 and 123.

[Landon]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just. I look at everything and I just say each one. But 12.

[Scott Aukerman]

12. You're just gonna try 12?

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, put it in.

[Landon]

Didn't work.

[Alan Tudyk]

Wow, that was fast.

[Landon]

This sucks.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry. But if. Yeah, maybe there's something in there. I have no idea. If you want to keep trying converse.

[Landon]

Okay. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Combinations, rather.

[Landon]

I'll try conversation.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'd rather you try to conversation because you're a guest on the show. What's up, baby?

[Landon]

Want to open up for a little sugar kiss? Didn't work. The lock doesn't open at all.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah. Look, do you. Do you have anything you wanted to talk about today other than sugar?

[Landon]

No, I didn't want to talk about anything. I literally want a piece of. Of sugar.

[Scott Aukerman]

Candy.

[Landon]

A guy. A driver.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you. You have a driver? Yeah, a driver on your payroll?

[Landon]

It's not my payroll. My parents put me in a car every morning. It takes me somewhere and then I look for candy. And if I find some, it was a good day. If I don't, they gotta hear about it.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do your parents do, if you don't mind me?

[Landon]

I don't know. I don't even know. I don't care.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've never asked them?

[Landon]

I don't care.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't care?

[Landon]

I don't care. There to me, they go to the candy factory, they buy the candy, they bring it home. That's what I think they're doing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. I mean, maybe they do own a candy. It sounds like they're independently wealthy.

[Alan Tudyk]

It does sound like you come from a wealthy home. There might.

[Scott Aukerman]

Although I guess anyone could probably afford a car and a driver, don't you think? If they chose to spend their money on that.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

So, like, you and I could probably at least go half on a driver.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes. Not a good driver, but. But you know a driver?

[Landon]

Yeah, I could. I know a few drivers. I don't know their names, but I give you like their numbers or something.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't know their names, but you have their numbers?

[Landon]

Yes, my parents give me very little.

[Scott Aukerman]

They just give you random numbers with no names attached? Yeah.

[Landon]

And I Dial it. And I say, I hope this is a driver with candy. Normally it is.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it's a different person every day.

[Landon]

Every day.

[Scott Aukerman]

This sounds like an Uber.

[Landon]

Yes, maybe.

[Alan Tudyk]

No.

[Landon]

I don't know.

[Alan Tudyk]

A lot can definitely afford an Uber.

[Landon]

I'm sort of one track minded.

[Scott Aukerman]

It. What do you want to do with your life, if you don't mind me asking?

[Landon]

It's a good question.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. Your vocabulary is pretty advanced, I think for a 12 year. A deep voice, very light on your feet.

[Landon]

It's kind of my other little thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you have a. A deep resonant voice that sort of belies your anger.

[Landon]

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you, what do you envision for your life?

[Landon]

What's your five year planning? Chewing, swallowing, sucking, you know, and then, I don't know, get a job.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you like? What kind of job do you. I mean, look at Alan over here. He's an actor.

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's pretty glamorous, right? You've been on a red carpet or two, have you not?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Landon]

Did you ever have any other jobs besides acting?

[Alan Tudyk]

I waited tables.

[Scott Aukerman]

Where did you wait tables?

[Alan Tudyk]

I waited tables in New York City.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really? Which restaurant do you mind at?

[Alan Tudyk]

Harry's burritos.

[Scott Aukerman]

Harry's burrito.

[Alan Tudyk]

71St on Columbus. Between 71st and 72nd.

[Landon]

Sounds authentic.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, it was not good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, but Harry didn't make a good burrito.

[Alan Tudyk]

It was just. Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know that I want Harry in a restaurant title.

[Alan Tudyk]

We did have very sweet margaritas though. And if I had some sweet and.

[Landon]

Sour to give you, God, I would drink it.

[Alan Tudyk]

All of it.

[Landon]

Any of it.

[Alan Tudyk]

It's been. It's been a while now, so.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, you could be a waiter. I could be a waiter, an actor.

[Landon]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

You could be a podcaster.

[Landon]

No, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Okay, good.

[Landon]

I heard the way you trashed them earlier. I don't want to be that. I'd rather be just a freaky kid who eats candy my whole life than a podcast.

[Scott Aukerman]

It sounds to me like instead of being on Comedy Bang Bang, like you should go over on Doughboys or something.

[Landon]

I would love that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cuz they love that. That's all they do on that show is really junk and candy and stuff like that.

[Landon]

Yeah, dang, that sounds.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really complain about it and read it and stuff like that. Just go on Doughboys.

[Landon]

Okay. Do you know them?

[Scott Aukerman]

I do, yeah.

[Landon]

Give me mine. Give them, give me their numbers.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. I'll also give you the names if that's okay.

[Landon]

Perfect. Yeah. Great. Yeah. What? Write down anything on a paper that you want that'll get me over there, and then I'll do that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Because this show is more of a show where I talk to people about their careers or, or hopes, dreams and. Sounds to me like you don't care about anything other than right, Candy?

[Landon]

You kind of wish I was someone else.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it's, it's difficult to talk to you.

[Landon]

No, I know, I know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like, last time Alan was on, there was this guy by the name of Petey Tweety who.

[Landon]

Oh, he was funny, I heard.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Landon]

What a smart guy that is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, well, I, I, I, I can't remember what I talked to him about.

[Landon]

Tweet, maybe. Tweets, maybe Twitter.

[Scott Aukerman]

Twitter? But he's an artisan sandwich maker.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, he was a sandwich.

[Landon]

No idea.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you listen, you listen to that episode?

[Landon]

I think I listened to it. Like, you watched the episode of his show where you had to ask a question, even though. Because you didn't really listen. You know, you were there.

[Scott Aukerman]

But something else might have been. Yeah, I was working while I was doing it.

[Landon]

I'm usually on my phone or something.

[Scott Aukerman]

But, I mean, that guy, it sounds like, even though I can't remember our conversation in the slightest, it sounds like there was more to talk to him about.

[Landon]

Yeah, you might be right. You might be right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Have you been trying combinations, by the way?

[Landon]

I tried a couple more. I tried 1, 2, 5, 6. Didn't work.

[Alan Tudyk]

Nothing. Wow.

[Landon]

Nothing.

[Alan Tudyk]

I would have thought that was it.

[Landon]

I know. Me too.

[Scott Aukerman]

Try 69.69.

[Landon]

I can't believe I didn't try that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Try it. Yeah, try it out.

[Landon]

6, 9, 69. Didn't open. Why'd you tell me to do that?

[Scott Aukerman]

I. Oh, I just, just. That's what I would.

[Landon]

That was just your guess?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that would be my guess.

[Landon]

You haven't guessed? 6,000, 969.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, I, I. To be honest, I don't care what's in there, so I haven't even tried, but. Oh, try. 0, 0, 00. That's from what I was reading. Every hotel safe, that, that'll open it.

[Alan Tudyk]

00.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you're ever out there robbing hotels. 00.

[Landon]

Didn't work.

[Scott Aukerman]

Didn't work.

[Landon]

Damn.

[Alan Tudyk]

I think it's okay, Landon, that you don't have any sugar right now. I think, think after a couple of days, you're gonna be a whole new kid.

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. If you go through some detox. Detoxification.

[Landon]

What is that? What does that mean no sugar? For how long? How long do I have to detox to feel normal?

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's see. And what I watched train spotting. He does. He does it for a week. That's heroin. But he does it for like a week or something, right?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, it's pretty much sugar and heroin.

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

Are about the same.

[Scott Aukerman]

About the same. Yeah. So like a week or something.

[Landon]

I guess I could try. I mean.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Landon]

I just met you guys. You'll change my whole life. Why not?

[Scott Aukerman]

Not I. Look, we're trying to have a positive impact at Comedy Bang Bang. We have a new tagline, Comedy Bang Bang. We care.

[Alan Tudyk]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

And I care about you, Landon.

[Landon]

I buy it. I buy it. I buy it.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's said with the utmost sincerity. We care. We care about our listeners, we care about our guests. And, Landon, I care about you. And I want to see you succeed not only in this detoxification effort, but also in life itself.

[Landon]

Thank you very much, Scott. You are a very nice man.

[Alan Tudyk]

Man.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no problem. No problem. Try 1, 2, 3, 4, by the way.

[Landon]

1, 2, 3, 4.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's in there?

[Landon]

What's in there?

[Scott Aukerman]

What's in there? Is there candy in there?

[Landon]

Wait, it's just more Flintstone vitamins. These look like candy.

[Scott Aukerman]

They have the trappings of candy.

[Landon]

Little piece of candy vibe. Okay, fine. Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Landon]

Thank you.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well, that'll get you through the show at least.

[Landon]

Yeah, I'll eat the rest of these vitamins throughout the rest of the show. Fantastic.

[Scott Aukerman]

Great. Well, we have to take a break. Can you stick around?

[Landon]

I'd love to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, fantastic. When we come back, we have a talent wrangler. This is an exciting show. A child who only likes candy and nothing else.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And now a talent wrangler, rather. We're gonna come right back. We're gonna have more Alan Tudyk. We're gonna have more Landon. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.

Comedy Bang Bang. We're back. Alan Tudyk is here. Resident alien season four out right now. We need to see what happens to this alien. Will he escape, escape justice? Or will he go back clapped in irons back to his home planet, a disgrace for having failed his ultimate mission? Or is he successful at setting off a bomb that kills us all?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, no, I'm not going to do that. I just. I just.

[Scott Aukerman]

That you're not going to do it. So if we watch this show and we get to episode 10, we're not in danger of a bomb going off?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, not at all. This season it's more about will I get off of the. The get out of jail and back to my home planet to save the Earth from the mantid.

[Scott Aukerman]

The mantid?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. There's an evil manted alien that is the most dangerous alien in the universe and it's been let loose on Earth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no.

[Alan Tudyk]

A virgin planet unspoiled by other mantids.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay, so. And what a mantids like to do, they like to have sex with earthlings.

[Alan Tudyk]

Or they like to. Yeah, they like to mate. They like to bite the heads off off of people and. Any being. Any kind of.

[Scott Aukerman]

Any kind of being.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, we saw, we saw. We only saw manted right at the end of season three and it bit the head off of someone.

[Scott Aukerman]

No.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, the big pincers, they're like. They're like. Yeah, yeah, like praying mantises.

[Scott Aukerman]

Praying mantises.

[Landon]

Sometimes I'll bite the head off. Just a little sour patch kid. Yeah, or a Swedish fish.

[Scott Aukerman]

You bit the head off of Fred Flintstone. I noticed.

[Landon]

Sorry about that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Don't have to apologize.

[Landon]

Sorry, Fred, you're dead.

[Scott Aukerman]

Said you could have whatever you wanted.

[Landon]

I guess it did. Give me a little pick me up. I am pretty happy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you are, kind of.

[Landon]

Yeah. The blue ones are delicious. They taste like blue.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, like blueberries.

[Landon]

Blueberry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Landon]

Yeah, they're really good. These are really good, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, well, I'm glad I'm good. Glad you're happy. Fun. Good we need to get to our next guest, though. She's a talent wrangler. And I wonder if what side of the business she works in, but let's just talk to her. Please welcome Donna Walkie.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, howdy, howdy, howdy. Well, well, howdy, howdy are you. Hello. I am a talent wrangler.

[Scott Aukerman]

Donna.

[Donna Walkie]

Is your name Donna? Donna Walkey.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hi, Donna. Great to meet you. This is Alan.

[Alan Tudyk]

Hi. Hi.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is Landon, who's a child.

[Donna Walkie]

Much obliged, much obliged.

[Scott Aukerman]

And Landon didn't have anything to talk about other than candy. Seems like a thin premise. Maybe, but we worked with him.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, I'm happy to talk to you later about Sour Patch Kids and whatnot. I'm happy to be here. Listen, I wish I could come here under better circumstances. You know, I'm a talent wrangler for New York Fashion Week, See?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Donna Walkie]

My family's been talent wranglers for New York Fashion Week for years and years and years. Decades even.

[Scott Aukerman]

And New York Fashion Week is the week where everyone goes to New York and looks at, like, new dresses and shit like that.

[Donna Walkie]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. Those models, they go up and down the Runway, but what you don't see is all the wrangling that happens beforehand.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. What do you do? What exactly do you do? And then we'll get to the circumstances, I guess. The unfortunate circumstances.

[Donna Walkie]

I just remembered my circumstances. Oh, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

I hate that. Like, sometimes that happens to me in the middle of the night. I remember my circumstances. I'm like, oh, fuck.

[Donna Walkie]

I was so excited. I was talking about my job, and then I remembered, oh, shoot. The conditions that I am in.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Donna Walkie]

What's going on? Well, so, you know, to answer your question, I take the models from point A to point B, take them to the green room, take them to the stage, take them back to their cars. I wrangle them all over the place. And then when they're out on the catwalk, they're sailing free and they're all good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Got it. So this is a lot like wrangling steer or, you know.

[Donna Walkie]

Yes. Or sheep or dogs or anything of that nature, really. It's a lot of the same calls, too. You know, tweet, tweet, come by, come by. Bella Hadid, come by, come by. And then we bring them in and they get to their enclosure and we have everything set up for them. You know, granola bars, cold pressed juice, anything.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then they just sort of graze while they're in there.

[Donna Walkie]

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then it comes time to lead them to the catwalk, and you're the person to do that.

[Donna Walkie]

And I take them right there. And never have I failed. But recently, I have failed to wrangle the models.

[Scott Aukerman]

What? This is unprecedented, as far as I can tell after just talking to you for two minutes.

[Donna Walkie]

You mean correctly? This has never happened before.

[Scott Aukerman]

What happened? You failed to wrangle.

[Donna Walkie]

I failed to wrangle the models. The models got loose.

[Scott Aukerman]

No.

[Alan Tudyk]

Ooh.

[Donna Walkie]

And they didn't make it to the stage. Bella Hadid missing.

[Scott Aukerman]

That seems to be the one model that you can.

[Donna Walkie]

There.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know by name.

[Donna Walkie]

There are many more, but she is the alpha.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure. Oh.

[Donna Walkie]

She's the ringleader of the pack. She is the strongest one. They all defer to her.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Landon]

That's gotta just be making things crazy in New York.

[Donna Walkie]

It's crazy in New York. Well, to be honest, that's why I came here to Los Angeles, because it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Seems like this is a New York problem. What are you doing here?

[Donna Walkie]

This is a New York problem. But I figured, you know, I've searched high and low on all the streets of Manhattan. The grid, Single street, every single strip, up and down the grid.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about Columbia? Up by 71st. Up by. Harry's tacos. Harry tacos.

[Alan Tudyk]

Harry's burritos.

[Scott Aukerman]

Harry's burritos. Shoot.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, shoot.

[Landon]

On Broadway, where it's not really a grid. It sort of goes diagonal through a few.

[Donna Walkie]

Gosh darn. No, I only checked the grid. I said if I'm not making a perpendicular line, I'm not going any further.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you'll miss a couple of streets.

[Alan Tudyk]

That way down soho. There's a lot of fashion down in soho. Yeah, and that's probably. It's a good chance.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bella, did you check any of soho?

[Donna Walkie]

I checked soho because as far as I can remember, it's perpendicular lines, so it fits within my rules.

[Scott Aukerman]

Stands for south of Houston.

[Donna Walkie]

South of Houston. Wow, what a place. So many dresses. It's beautiful down there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, but you checked there.

[Donna Walkie]

I checked there.

[Scott Aukerman]

And why are you here?

[Donna Walkie]

So I figured, you know, maybe these girls, these glamazons, these. They may have gone to the one place I haven't checked, which is the Erawan. I figured.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, the Erewhon over there by the. By the grove.

[Donna Walkie]

Exactly. Exactly the one. And for the.

[Scott Aukerman]

For our people who are not Los Angeles listeners, which I think is most people listening, yet somehow we do a lot of Los Angeles specific comedy on this show. There's a very expensive grocery store called Erewhon. Have you ever been inside, Alan?

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, we are members Members.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're a member of Erewhon?

[Donna Walkie]

Yes, a member.

[Scott Aukerman]

They just started selling. What was it? A. An egg or something?

[Donna Walkie]

A big strawberry.

[Scott Aukerman]

A strawberry.

[Donna Walkie]

I believe it was a big strawberry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you get one of those for free, if you remember?

[Alan Tudyk]

No, I don't. You don't get anything for free in Air1.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's like a 20 strawberry.

[Donna Walkie]

It's a. Yes, it's a 19 strawberry. And it's beautiful. The models love this strawberry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Reminds me of the. The Firefly episode when they got her the strawberry from the Planet.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. Kaylee, she got a strawberry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Think about that a lot. Anytime I. E. Strawberry, I go, I should be enjoying this more because she did.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then I just kind of go like, it's fine.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was.

[Alan Tudyk]

That was a seductive moment. I like strawberries too.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now, since in any case, ere 1 is A. Is a very expensive grocery store. It's even more expensive than Whole Foods, which in my opinion, they should call Whole paycheck.

[Alan Tudyk]

Even.

[Landon]

I get that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

I understand. That cracked my up. But. But it's. It's very expensive. It's over by the Grove. And it's. It's clientele seems to be primarily Alan and his wife. And models.

[Donna Walkie]

Models. Yes, they are.

[Scott Aukerman]

And actors.

[Donna Walkie]

And actors. Models. Even influencers. Some.

[Scott Aukerman]

Even influencers.

[Donna Walkie]

Even influencers. Some interior decorators. You know, people of that caliber. Burp.

[Scott Aukerman]

I wonder if mine. We just had these walls done, by the way.

[Donna Walkie]

Oh, really? Oh, not very professional.

[Scott Aukerman]

Shut up, Landon.

[Donna Walkie]

I could see it. I could see how a decorator was in here.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you haven't checked there. So you decide to come on Comedy Bang Bang.

[Donna Walkie]

I'm not just trying to get the.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm trying to get your process here.

[Donna Walkie]

Yeah. So, exactly. I thought I better come on this show, get on a platform that goes across to all of America and other countries, too. And other countries as well. And say, where are my models? Can you help me find my models? And if the models are listening, I.

[Scott Aukerman]

Don'T think there's any danger of that.

[Donna Walkie]

No supermodels are listening to this show.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, they're more of a call me Daddy kind of vibe over there. It seems to be like you'd rather be on that show.

[Donna Walkie]

Darn. Darn.

[Scott Aukerman]

I wish you go on Doughboys.

[Alan Tudyk]

Gosh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Yeah. You go on. Call. Call me Daddy. Call her Daddy.

[Donna Walkie]

Call who Daddy? I believe it's Alex Cooper's. Call her Daddy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Call her Daddy. Meanwhile, Alan and I will just chill.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

We'll do a bro down hoedown.

[Alan Tudyk]

We have a different Set of circumstances.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's on a alien show for four years, and I remember very specific episodes of Firefly, and I'm excited by a robot on a Star wars show.

[Landon]

Can I ask you a question? What came first, the models or the accent? You don't seem like you're from New York City.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, that's true. You know, my entire family talks like this. We're a long line of tal. Talent wranglers. Long line of. Of walkies. And, you know, I.

[Scott Aukerman]

So walkie is not your married name? Are you single?

[Donna Walkie]

No, my. I am married. My. My married name is walkie talkie. It's hyphenated. But I prefer to keep my maiden name because it is special to me. You know, I love.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you married to a podcaster?

[Donna Walkie]

Yeah, he mostly does sports.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, God. Like barstool.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, a little less scary than barstool. Kind of like what if. What if. What if. What if the. What if the packers and the. And the. Oh, gosh. Gosh.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you know, Bella Hadid and the packers and this, this is your family business and what your husband does for a living, it's.

[Donna Walkie]

I cannot express enough how it is entrenched every facet of my life. I was homeschooled to do this. I was bred to do this from day one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bred to do this? Your mom and dad had sex in order to have a baby that would do this.

[Donna Walkie]

They said, I know that the. The secrets of talent wrangling will be lost to time, and I can't allow some rando bozo coming in here taking our family business away. We need to breed a super soldier of talent. Wrangling. Wrangling.

[Scott Aukerman]

How did you start doing this? Did you start wrangling models first or did you start with, you know, slow?

[Donna Walkie]

They, they. They started me on sheep to. To get me acquainted.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's how I started doing something different.

[Alan Tudyk]

We gotta circle back to that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Landon]

What do you mean, Scotty?

[Scott Aukerman]

Sheep.

[Donna Walkie]

What do you mean with them?

[Alan Tudyk]

What are you.

[Donna Walkie]

You doing to them?

[Alan Tudyk]

Harvesting wool, I. I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

Exactly.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Harvesting wool. Of course. Shaving things.

[Donna Walkie]

Yes, yes, of course.

[Scott Aukerman]

Worked my way up to my pubes.

[Alan Tudyk]

What do you mean?

[Donna Walkie]

I think I understand now. Well, they start me on sheep and they say. They say real simple, you know, My parents never coddled me. They never gave me any participation trophies. They'd say, wrangle these sheep from point a to point be, from the kitchen to the laundry room. So I, I.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why are there sheep in your house?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Donna Walkie]

So I'm so glad you asked my family. I'm really glad you, If I seem stressed on my face, it's because I'm.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're remembering your circumstances.

[Donna Walkie]

I'm remembering my circumstances.

[Scott Aukerman]

I understand.

[Donna Walkie]

I, I, I, we, we keep the sheep in the house because they, they help us go to school, sleep faster.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, because you're counting. That makes more sense. Yeah.

[Donna Walkie]

One, two, three. We're out much faster than imagining them. So they start me on sheep gradually.

[Scott Aukerman]

How many sheep do you have in your house?

[Donna Walkie]

We have about 23 sheep.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. But three and you're out. Three seems like you could lose or call 20 of them and call.

[Donna Walkie]

Oh no, I could never call a sheep. Those poor boys. The other 20 are there for, for, what do you call it? Morale. The other three sheep need to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sheep get sad if they're, if there's only three of them.

[Donna Walkie]

It's true. They're a very social creature. They, if it's just three, they go, am I even in a herd? What, what the heck? What the heck is this?

[Scott Aukerman]

Interesting sheep facts. I didn't expect to get that from a talent wrangler, but I love this.

[Donna Walkie]

I, I'm a, I'm a multi dimensional human being.

[Scott Aukerman]

You seem like it.

[Donna Walkie]

Thank you so much.

[Scott Aukerman]

Listen, where'd you go to call college?

[Donna Walkie]

I went to nyu.

[Scott Aukerman]

New York University.

[Donna Walkie]

New York University.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

Gallatin. They met. They let you make up your own major? I'm pretty sure. And I majored.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're pretty sure? I think if I went there, I would like make sure.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, you know, I like to live in the moment.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

I like to live in the moment. My garden, my guidance counselor tells me things and I go, okay, sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, that's the person who would know, I guess.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you're a fully three dimensional human being. You're not an alien like Alan's character on Resident Alien. You are a human being. You were born and bred to be a human being.

[Donna Walkie]

Yes, to be a human being. To be specifically a talent wrangler.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's the most challenging model you ever worked with? And please. Well, maybe it's Bella Hadid.

[Donna Walkie]

Believe it or not, I know the name of a second model.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, really? Wow.

[Donna Walkie]

I don't know if you've heard of her. Her name is Cara D. Levine.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

De Laine. 5 11. Total babe.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

Absolute smoke show. And a, a, a lover and a fighter.

[Scott Aukerman]

In what respect?

[Donna Walkie]

She, she loves TV and she fights in boxing for fun.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

But Cara Delevingne, I remember that it, when the model started to go south on me before they escaped. Cara Delevingne. Started. Well, she started pranking me to death.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pranking you to death?

[Donna Walkie]

Pranking me to death.

[Scott Aukerman]

You seem.

[Landon]

Models are funny.

[Scott Aukerman]

Models are funny. But you seem alive to me, everybody.

[Donna Walkie]

I am alive. I'm just. I just see the end very close.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you're at death's door from these pranks?

[Donna Walkie]

I am at death's door because if the pranks continue, it's a slippery slope. Who knows where they'll lead.

[Scott Aukerman]

What are some of the pranks that Cara Delevingne has pulled on you?

[Donna Walkie]

Oh, these are. These are brutal pranks. These are, These are absolutely unfathomable pranks. These girls. These girls are not. Okay. They've been putting. They've been putting retinol on my skin while I'm sleeping.

[Scott Aukerman]

What does that do to someone's skin? And what is retinol normally used for?

[Donna Walkie]

So retinol, it. It tightens the cells.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Donna Walkie]

So it makes a. It makes your pores firmer and clearer.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

So when I wake up, I do believe I'm aging backwards.

[Scott Aukerman]

That must be disconcerting to look in the mirror and say, like, oh, no, am I Benjamin Buttoning here?

[Donna Walkie]

I'm going backwards. I'm. Oh shoot. Oh shoot. I'm. Oh shoot. Now I'm 22. What the heck?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, how old are you now?

[Donna Walkie]

I'm 39.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're 39 years old, but I was going to say you. You look younger. You look like you're in your 20s. Maybe these, these models are doing you a favor. It seems like they're just sharing beauty secrets with you.

[Donna Walkie]

They, they're, they're.

[Scott Aukerman]

They're.

[Donna Walkie]

But, but they don't tell me when they're doing it. And when I wake up and I look in the mirror, they sort of say, haha. Kind of like Nelson from the Simpsons. They say, ha, ha. They can tell.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think they're intentionally doing it like Nelson from the Simpsons?

[Donna Walkie]

I think so.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, is that a Hank Azaria character?

[Alan Tudyk]

I don't. I. I think it is.

[Scott Aukerman]

It might be. Yeah. I don't know.

[Donna Walkie]

I think these.

[Scott Aukerman]

Next time you run into.

[Alan Tudyk]

Next time, when I catch his show.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Boss, I would, I would say chances are 25% it's him. I think that would be a very funny question. Hey, it's also something easily look upable on the Internet. But I think if you could save that question next time, get it from the source. I don't trust the mainstream media on this issue.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So they, they're standing over you when you wake up. Why are you in asleep in a public place that these models can, well.

[Donna Walkie]

The, the relationship between a talent wrangler. I don't know how it's done in these new fangled days, but in the old days, the old days of New York Fashion Week, you know, we, we take our operation very seriously. The model and the talent wrangler. There needs to be a, a relationship of trust. Trust. So we like to spend days, weeks, months on end together sometimes just getting.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ready for one week of Fashion week.

[Donna Walkie]

Because when I say you go there. Gigi.

[Scott Aukerman]

Gigi who Deed. Okay.

[Donna Walkie]

I want her to know.

[Scott Aukerman]

I feel as if we're at the very bottom of the list of models.

[Donna Walkie]

Names that, you know, surely I have had a career of many years. Surely I know more.

[Scott Aukerman]

Surely. But who knows if it'll come up?

[Donna Walkie]

Who knows if it'll even come up. But just know there is a base well of knowledge that is overflowing with models names.

[Scott Aukerman]

But, but they need to know that when you say Gigi, go over there, that they need to have that trust.

[Donna Walkie]

In you that they need to know. I'm not some freakazoid, I'm not some pervert fan who's, who's trying to, to, trying to sneak a picture of them.

[Alan Tudyk]

Right.

[Donna Walkie]

I am a trusted figure who's going to get you on that catwalk to fame, to fortune and to stardom.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, it's a very important job. I don't think we've ever gone into how they broke out of their, their holding pen.

[Donna Walkie]

Well, they, they pantsed me really fast.

[Scott Aukerman]

Were they just trying to put better clothes on you?

[Donna Walkie]

You know, they did have a, a big hanger full of Givenchy nearby, but I didn't think too much of it at the time.

[Scott Aukerman]

It sounds like they're trying to give you some sort of a glow up here. Like they're, they're trying to give you free glam advice and because, I mean you, you look gorgeous. I, I was gonna say like you're dressed very chic. You look like you're in your 20s. You're as beautiful as the Mona Lisa.

[Landon]

You don't look how you sound at all.

[Donna Walkie]

This is crazy to hear. You know, I, I, I didn't, I don't think that these women, you know, it, it goes against everything I believe when women don't support other women. So this would be a first.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's, there, it sounds like, have you, do you go around complaining about your.

[Donna Walkie]

Looks and, and, well, sure, sure. Every, when I come into the dressing room, I go, oh gosh, I'm just an, an Ugly old fart. I'm an ugly old fart with no friends and nothing to show for it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Every day you say this.

[Donna Walkie]

Yes, I see. Shame. Shame on you, you. Shame on you. Maybe if you looked a little better, people would treat you differently.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think that would be kind of a bummer to hang around with someone like that. And I think it sounds to me like they're trying to do you a nice solid here and give you some nice clothes and give you some beauty tips. You look gorgeous. You look like you could be one of the models yourself right now, so.

[Donna Walkie]

Really?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. So I don't think that there was any kind of malice intended in this.

[Donna Walkie]

You don't think that Gigi Hadid or Bella Hadid or Cara Delevingne?

[Landon]

One more.

[Donna Walkie]

Or Carly Kloss or Tyra Banks or.

[Scott Aukerman]

She's more of a TV star now.

[Donna Walkie]

Or Naomi. Oh, Naomi Campbell.

[Scott Aukerman]

Good assistant.

[Alan Tudyk]

Little hint.

[Donna Walkie]

You don't think that any of those women and the many more like them think that I am worthy of love? You think they're trying to help me?

[Scott Aukerman]

I think, first of all, I think everyone is worthy of love. It may not be the kind of love you want, like me. My type are the world's most beautiful supermodels that you've. That you've mentioned. That's my type.

[Donna Walkie]

That's a lot of people's type.

[Alan Tudyk]

Or sheep. Or sheep.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or sheep. But I think everyone's worthy of love. And I think that these are nice women, it sounds like. And they were trying to help you, and then maybe you scared them off with your reaction.

[Donna Walkie]

Wow. You know, I did yell and scream a whole bunch. Now I feel bad, maybe. I don't know. Should I call Gigi and apologize?

[Alan Tudyk]

You could call her this whole time.

[Scott Aukerman]

How are you on this show?

[Donna Walkie]

I wanted to find her on foot.

[Landon]

Have you been hurting for 3,000 miles?

[Donna Walkie]

Yeah, I've been herding. Herding cars to pick me up. It's been so hard.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, just. Just. Yeah. This has a very simple solution. Just call her. Stop bothering us with this problem.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Jesus. Well, Donna Watt walkie or Donnie Walkie talkie? Donnie walkie talkie.

[Donna Walkie]

Donna Walkie talkie is my name if my husband's listening. But if it's just me, he's listening.

[Scott Aukerman]

To some sports show, I'm sure, but Pat McAfee or something.

[Donna Walkie]

Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

But we are running out of time, guys. We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. I'm going to open up the plug bag of my mind I'm gonna look deep in and transcend time and if I look at what I'm seeing I am bound to find some movie shows and music that I'm gonna like. Oh yeah. Oh no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Should I just start naming Disney thing.

[Alan Tudyk]

The next Disney film that's out, I'm gonna be in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're gonna be in it.

[Alan Tudyk]

I'm guessing if it, you know. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well that's.

[Alan Tudyk]

Go. Go check that out. Go see it in the theater.

[Scott Aukerman]

Go see a Disney film.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, they're fun in the theater, I think, you know, the theater is theater's way to go.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. We need the theatrical experience, too. And it's come roaring back with. Look, I told Zach Galifianakis a few months ago, we need a hit in his career because he hasn't had one in a long time, and they're in Canada. Well, you know, he's in Lilo and Stitch, one of the biggest movies of the year.

[Alan Tudyk]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

We said he needed it. We got it, baby. Comedy bang, bang bump. That's what happens here.

[Alan Tudyk]

Cool.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're in something called Play Date coming up. Oh, it's an action comedy film. Play Date stars Kevin James.

[Alan Tudyk]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. There's.

Good.

[Alan Tudyk]

And then also Peacemaker 2.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you're in Peacemaker?

[Alan Tudyk]

I'm not, but my wife choreographs that dance.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, the one at the beginning?

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah, that's. That's her.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alan and I, we got a good thing going. I don't know much about candy. I don't know much about models.

[Alan Tudyk]

Do you really want to. Do you really want to taste that? I had to hear that a lot in the house.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's.

[Alan Tudyk]

For a long time.

[Scott Aukerman]

She's a choreographer, Right. What else is she. She done.

[Alan Tudyk]

Nothing. She's done a lot of. She does theater stuff. She's mainly a theater choreographer.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, we don't want to get back into temporary theater Contemporary.

[Alan Tudyk]

Exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Your first appearance.

[Alan Tudyk]

But she did assist me. I should say she assisted me when I directed.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, really?

[Alan Tudyk]

And to say she assisted me is. It sounds like she was kind of second fiddle. She had. She had better ideas than.

[Scott Aukerman]

Definitely.

[Alan Tudyk]

About shots and stuff.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is sort of like almost a co directing kind of thing.

[Alan Tudyk]

Yeah. But it can't be because of rules.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alan Tudyk]

But when I'm acting, I can't see myself, so I could. She would be on set to watch.

[Scott Aukerman]

It and go, oh, that's so cool.

[Alan Tudyk]

You're going to want another one of those. Just translation, you sucked in that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

What if for an ego boost, just every time she was like, perfect. And you get it. Back and you're like, fuck, I don't have any other takes. Let's talk to Landon.

[Landon]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you want to plug, Landon?

[Donna Walkie]

Oh, but she's a legend. She's kind of the model if you really think about it. Wow. Not top of mind. Mind. There's a podcast I listen to, believe it or not, called Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists. It is an improvised Hollywood round table podcast. But they also talk about other stuff that's relatable like YouTube and tick tock. Those worlds as well, not just this. And they're a comedian named Kylie Brakeman. You can follow her. And she has a character standup special on. On Apple TV and Amazon and some United Flats. That's it.
