Wool the Clown, nice to know that you're spying on us. I believe that's a first time catchphrase submittor. Thanks to Wool the Clown and welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. My name is Scott Aukerman. We have an incredibly wonderful show. Can something be incredibly wonderful? There are degrees of wonderfulness. Okay, I guess something can be mildly wonderful. I don't know.

[Night Wolf]

Only happy. Incredible.

[Crushette Dungan]

Happy. Incredible.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, good.

[Night Wolf]

I don't know if you would go like, oh, that's sadly incredible.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's lethargically incredible.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, you wouldn't hear that.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, we do have a wonderfully incredible show coming up a little later. In addition to the voice that you just heard, we have a team building expert. We also have a photographer will be on the show. So that is. This is a really good show. And I'm sure that you recognized the dulcet tones of the person who was speaking at my 10 o'clock.

[Night Wolf]

Nasally Dulcet tones.

[Crushette Dungan]

Would you consider yourself to be nasal?

[Night Wolf]

Do you know I always had a lot of insecurity about my voice growing up.

[Crushette Dungan]

Really?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. I kind of was like nose and body growing up.

[Crushette Dungan]

What do you mean by that?

[Night Wolf]

Large, large nose, small, small body.

[Crushette Dungan]

So your nose to body ratio.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, a lot of nose was off. Small butter. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

But I had, like, allergies and asthma, and I was always stuffed up, and so I always feel like I sounded really nasally.

[Crushette Dungan]

You say this as a kid. You were.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Because now you have said on this show previously. And I'll introduce you in a second.

[Night Wolf]

Have I said this already?

[Crushette Dungan]

That you do not remember anything pre 13 years old?

[Night Wolf]

Well, this is like middle school where things locked in. But, like, sixth grade down. Yes. Still is a blur.

[Crushette Dungan]

Sixth grade down. So in the sixth grade, you looked in the mirror and. And one of your first memories is nose.

[Night Wolf]

No.

[Crushette Dungan]

So you had a thing about your voice, and then you chose to get into your profession, which.

[Night Wolf]

You know what? I will say there was a voice coach that I went to in high school. Was it high school? It was high school. But this guy said. He says, ah, you don't have any resonance. You don't have any resonance. And it's amazing how that shit sticks.

[Crushette Dungan]

Right?

[Night Wolf]

Like, I was like. And I haven't forgotten that. And then I had an insecurity about that. Like, I gotta find resonance. I gotta find resonance.

[Crushette Dungan]

And what. What a str. Thing to say to a. I didn't.

[Night Wolf]

Even know what it meant, old boy. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

What does it even mean?

[Night Wolf]

I think it just. The sound is. Oh, man. I think it's like the echo chamber of your body is more full with a resonance. You know, like a James Earl Jones or something. Like. Like a really.

[Crushette Dungan]

Like, it goes all James Earl Jones. What if this guy was like, he's no James Earl Jones. Unless it was James Earl Jones. Like, yeah. You wouldn't be satisfied.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. But, you know, like, when someone speaks and it's like, whoa, that whole body speaks. I think that's resonance. And maybe my. Only. My nose spoke. That's. Maybe.

[Crushette Dungan]

I don't know. But you sound great right now.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, thanks, man.

[Crushette Dungan]

A voice fit for podcasting. And we're going to talk about your podcast called the Extraordinarians, which is out now. He also has a movie called sketch coming out August 6th. In the dog days of summer.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

A way to beat the heat. Yep.

[Night Wolf]

We did the. It took us, like. My buddy Seth Worley directed it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, yeah.

[Night Wolf]

And it's. Man, it took us, like, seven or eight years to make, and it's so great. I can't wait for people to see it. It's about. We kind of describe it, like Inside out meets Jurassic Park. It's a little girl dealing with grief and how.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay. We talked about this film on. No, not you and I. Oh, good. Seth and I Talked about this film.

[Night Wolf]

Seth's been on the show.

[Crushette Dungan]

He's not been on this show. He was on my companion podcast called Scott Hasn't Seen where we talked about the movie September 5th, and he talked about this movie and how it didn't have a distribute and it finally came out and I've heard it's incredible.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, thanks.

[Crushette Dungan]

Not just from him. I've heard from other people.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, man. So she draws these pictures that are pretty horrific. I play her dad and they magically come to life. And it just deals with kind of dealing with big emotions and grief. And he just did a great job. So I'm excited for people to see it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony Hale is here.

[Night Wolf]

Guys, Tony Hale's here.

[Crushette Dungan]

Hi, Tony. Welcome back to the show.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, thanks.

[Crushette Dungan]

Great to have you back.

[Night Wolf]

Thank you.

[Crushette Dungan]

You are just on mere months ago.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. And I didn't really remember much about it. I'm really. I really. It does concern me, my memory.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, you live in the moment, I think.

[Night Wolf]

Really?

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay. Or maybe you're living in the future.

[Night Wolf]

Or maybe I'm so checked out somewhere else that I don't remember the moment. And that kind of.

[Crushette Dungan]

Or maybe our waking lives are just but a dream and they are actually fleeting.

[Night Wolf]

Quickly.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yes. Too quickly.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

For my taste.

[Night Wolf]

I was thinking about. I was talking about this with someone last night about. I don't know, we were talking about.

[Crushette Dungan]

You sound fun.

[Night Wolf]

Do I sound nasally?

[Crushette Dungan]

No, you sound fun.

[Night Wolf]

What if I heard nasally and you said fun? And that's where the trauma started. We were talking about, like some award show years ago or something. I don't know how this came up. We were talking about how back then people thought like, yeah, we're the shit. We're the shit. They're dead. They're dead and it's fleeting. And how much energy and anxiety we give to stuff that is fleeting.

[Crushette Dungan]

There's only one guy, I think, whose work will live on, and that's Willie Shams.

[Night Wolf]

Rocky.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, Rocky. Oh, Rocky. Rocky Balboa is who you were thinking.

[Night Wolf]

Well, yeah, I just saw the documentary.

[Crushette Dungan]

Which documentary is this?

[Night Wolf]

Balboa.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's called.

[Night Wolf]

I think it's called Balboa. Yeah, it's Sylvester Stallone's. I think it's called Balboa. But in it I learned that that Balboa name came from the Valley, the street in the Valley. Because that's where he moved first when he came to la. And that's where that came from. And he. When he came to LA first, he broke down on the highway. Totally broke. And Henry Winkler picked him up in the highway and took it because they had done some movie previously. It's a really good documentary.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think that was the. The. I remember he was on the subway or something.

[Night Wolf]

I'm sorry, Sly.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, yes, yes. He's one of Hollywood, our Hollywood caretakers. Now I believe he's in charge of Hollywood along with Mel.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, and Arnold.

[Crushette Dungan]

No, not. Not Arnold.

[Night Wolf]

Not Arnold.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's Mel. Jon Voight and Sly are now they've been put in charge of Hollywood.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, man. To be a fly on that wall.

[Crushette Dungan]

To be a Sly on.

[Night Wolf]

To be a fly on that.

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony, it's great to have you back.

[Night Wolf]

Thank you for having me. I love it.

[Crushette Dungan]

You're here to promote the Sylvester Stallone Rocky documentary?

[Night Wolf]

Apparently. That's weird. I'm being paid a lot of money.

[Crushette Dungan]

But you're here talking about the Extraordinarians, which is a podcast. You've now segued. Now here's the Comedy Bang Bang. This is the ranking of guests that we like on the show. Movie stars, number one.

[Night Wolf]

Okay. Not that.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, you have a movie.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I have a movie coming out. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Would you say you're.

[Night Wolf]

I mean, I'm no Sly, but I'm getting now.

[Crushette Dungan]

So you've been in movies, so, Yeah, I would say movie stars, number one. People who have been in movies, number two. That's maybe where you fall.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

TV stars, number three. Authors. Yeah, maybe.

[Night Wolf]

I don't like this hierarchy. There should not be a hierarchy to this.

[Crushette Dungan]

Podcasters.

[Night Wolf]

No.

[Crushette Dungan]

And now you slip. You've slipped down from number two to now. You're. You're a podcaster.

[Night Wolf]

Podcasters are the voice of our generation. They're the voice of the future.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yes.

[Night Wolf]

Everybody listens to podcasts.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's like.

[Night Wolf]

That's like the new end thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

Exactly.

[Night Wolf]

I'm joining late.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Night Wolf]

You're the og.

[Crushette Dungan]

You're making all the cash. Sure I am. You're super late. What. What about. I mean, too late.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, should I cancel the show?

[Crushette Dungan]

Your own show, not my show. Do you have the power to cancel this show?

[Night Wolf]

Sly, Mel, Tony, we're getting on this.

[Crushette Dungan]

John, tell me about the extraordinarians. What came up? What's the concept? How did it come about? Give me the full 360 on this.

[Night Wolf]

Okay, thank you for asking about the full 360. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

So celebration.

[Night Wolf]

We called it full 360. That's actually a pretty good title. Um, missed opportunity. Um, so Matt Oberg, Kristen Shaw. Well, Kristen Shaw and I did a show years ago. Called Mysterious Debt, Mysterious Benedict Society, and she's.

[Crushette Dungan]

Did you create that show?

[Night Wolf]

No, that was. It was based on a book.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's right, yes. Um, did you write the book?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, no. God. Just one thing. I've.

[Crushette Dungan]

You ever written a book? No.

[Night Wolf]

Yes.

[Crushette Dungan]

Really? Which book have you written?

[Night Wolf]

I read. I wrote a children's book called Archibald's Next Big Thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, that's great.

[Night Wolf]

And I wrote it because it was when I booked Eresta the Belt. I think I'm having a stroke. On your show. A Best of Derelict Idina Menzel. When I booked Arrested Development, it was my. All I wanted was a sitcom. It was my big thing. And it didn't satisfy me the way I thought it was gonna satisfy me. And it scared me, really.

[Crushette Dungan]

Like, the work was good.

[Night Wolf]

Well, I think I just. I'd given getting a sitcom way too much weight in my life, and it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Was so, like, I'm finally gonna be happy.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. And it's that whole thing. If you're not practicing contentment where you are, you're not going to be content when you get what you want. And so I called it Art. It's about this little chicken who gets this card in the mail that's like, your big thing is here. And he's like, where? And he goes on all these adventures, but every time he's on an adventure, he's like, I got to get to my next big thing. And then this little bee comes around and goes, you got to just be, man. You got to just be. And then in the end, he realizes the card is right. Your big thing is right here. My big thing is talking to you guys right now. That's my big thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

I love that.

[Night Wolf]

This.

[Crushette Dungan]

I mean, yeah, this is a wonderful podcast to be on, so I appreciate that longevity. That's incredible. And it. Is it a children's book or is.

[Night Wolf]

It a long novel? It's like a 2,300,000 page novel. And it just keeps saying, your big thing is here.

[Crushette Dungan]

Will a religion be based on this book, like Scientology or.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, my God, Dreams are coming true today? I feel like being present is. People talk a lot. That's kind of become its own kind of centering.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's something that one tries to do. It can be too easy to look to the future and your goals and something that you want.

[Night Wolf]

Why? I think my memory was crap. I think I was somewhere else. I was like. Whether it be anxiety, I kind of checked out somewhere else. And I think that's. Can affect the memory.

[Crushette Dungan]

So you and Kristen did this show Together.

[Night Wolf]

And Matt Oberg, who. Very funny guy. And we interview people who have done extraordinary things. A lot of people have broken Guinness records. And like one guy, slackline between two hot air balloons. We interviewed like the national pun competition winner. We interviewed a guy who did like the most somersaults off a trampoline.

[Crushette Dungan]

How many? Like three.

[Night Wolf]

I think it was 20. No, I think. I don't remember.

[Crushette Dungan]

Like, wait, so he. Okay, here's, here's.

[Night Wolf]

But it was a lot because I.

[Crushette Dungan]

Saw off a trampoline. Meaning he would do one each time.

[Night Wolf]

No, Scott.

[Crushette Dungan]

Or. Or he was on like a giant cliff and he did 20.

[Night Wolf]

That sounds terrifying. No, it was. He bounced on a trampoline and then goes like so many flips and then.

[Crushette Dungan]

Comes back and then comes back and he did over up in the air.

[Night Wolf]

It might not be that. I think it might. It's like between.

[Crushette Dungan]

That would be possible.

[Night Wolf]

It might be 12, but it's the most. And it's like he has like bouncers. Like they. When he goes. It's like.

[Crushette Dungan]

Like people who are controlling him, keeping.

[Night Wolf]

Him away from the clubs or in the club, but like bounce him so he can get higher.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I see.

[Night Wolf]

It's like a double bounce, people.

[Crushette Dungan]

That feels like it's cheating.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Did you tell him that?

[Night Wolf]

I did. We try to shame all of the people who got Guinness records.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's interesting to talk to me normal.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, thanks.

[Crushette Dungan]

I meant to tell you that it's so interesting to talk to you.

[Night Wolf]

Thank you. I think that's a very nice compliment.

[Crushette Dungan]

But to have a podcast where you're talking to normal people. We talk to normal people on this show all the time. Like. Like we just talk, you know, you're.

[Night Wolf]

By the way, I don't like calling them normal people. Again, the hierarchy.

[Crushette Dungan]

Non con. Oh, non cops, non commissioned officers. No, but I mean, like, I. I'll talk to you. You're a person who's in movies and podcaster. But then later on the show, we have a photographer, we have a team building expert. So we talk to.

[Night Wolf]

Which I'm really looking forward to meeting.

[Crushette Dungan]

Right, but we have a. We. We talk to, you know, non movie stars all the time on this show. Is it difficult to have conversation, you know, because you're talking to these people for the first time? I would imagine there's no pre interview or anything.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

But is it. Is it a difficult challenge or an interesting challenge to talk to people who are not used to the art of podcasting or talking on microphones?

[Night Wolf]

No, I don't no, it hasn't been. I mean, it's all.

[Crushette Dungan]

Everyone wants to tell their story.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. And it's about the questions you ask. Like, I think you always kind of leading them with, like, the national pun competition girl we. We chatted with, who was just fantastic. Like. Like, how when you were. When you were little, did you. Did. Did you have, like, a matrix in your head where there were so many words that came up? I mean, she's a songwriter, too, and her mind just kind of works in a very unique way where she'll see something, and it's like this kind of matrix comes up in her head, and there's all these different versions of, like, a word.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, wow.

[Night Wolf]

You know, and so just kind of finding all that stuff out, leading them questions.

[Crushette Dungan]

And how is it. Because so many of these podcasts that come out are so.

[Night Wolf]

And also the stock line guy.

[Crushette Dungan]

Why. Yeah, why are you doing this?

[Night Wolf]

Why? You're facing death every day.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

I cut you off, Scott. I apologize.

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony. I accept your apology. Aw. You know what? I forgive.

[Night Wolf]

Am I still interesting.

[Crushette Dungan]

But I don't even know what I was going to ask.

[Night Wolf]

Mission accomplished.

[Crushette Dungan]

Damn it. You were the guy who put up that mission accomplished banner behind George W. Bush, right?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's your catchphrase. I recall ever since the arrested or.

[Night Wolf]

Bested, living each day is a mission accomplished. Right.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Like, getting through a day sometimes is a mission sometimes is.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. This sounds like a fascinating show. I'm sure you're talking to a lot of Guinness Book of World Record holders.

[Night Wolf]

We.

[Crushette Dungan]

Our friend Fred Guinness is in charge of that book. You're probably going to have him on the show. I would. I would.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. I would hope to. I'm sorry I'm missing him today.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, he's not here today. He's bad.

[Night Wolf]

Planning on Scott Aukerman's part?

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, I believe I was given this time, and this time only from our guest of honor.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, no. It's my fault. Shoot.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, it sounds like an incredible show. How many episodes are out currently?

[Night Wolf]

1.

[Crushette Dungan]

1.

[Night Wolf]

We just premiered this.

[Crushette Dungan]

This is easily bingeable at this point.

[Night Wolf]

It is. We had one, and it was the pun competition.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

And it was just fantastic. So fun. I think people will really enjoy it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Great. And how long are you going to continue to do this? How long are you going to be my main competition?

[Night Wolf]

Well, I mean, how long have you been doing this?

[Crushette Dungan]

16 years next week.

[Night Wolf]

Dude, that is a long time.

[Crushette Dungan]

Too long?

[Night Wolf]

No. What an accomplishment. Don't ask me that.

[Crushette Dungan]

You'll be the final arbiter because I.

[Night Wolf]

Don'T want the competition. No, but that's 16 years, man.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's great. 16 years. Yeah. Do you think you'll get there?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, here's hoping, man.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wouldn't that be fun, though? Like, you just started this show. You love the conversations that you have.

[Night Wolf]

With and you love the. I love friends. Like your. Your friends. Well, your new guests come on and Old friends and stuff like that.

[Crushette Dungan]

One of them is an old friend, the photographer, but. Or I wouldn't even say an old friend, but a colleague.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, and you're saying the other one.

[Crushette Dungan]

Is what I've never met before, so I'm looking forward to that.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, okay. Good.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

That would be really unfortunate if they used to be a friend.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's right. An enemy.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Maybe a frenemy.

[Night Wolf]

Have you had a lot of enemies on.

[Crushette Dungan]

On the show? Yeah, I think I've had a low number. About 58 or so.

[Night Wolf]

Did you bring them on to try to reconcile or did you bring them on just to, like.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, they start out as guests, and.

[Night Wolf]

Then, like, twist the knife.

[Crushette Dungan]

Big chunky bubbles. They become enemies. Big chunk of. He's a soup artist. Bubble artist.

[Night Wolf]

Wait a second. So he. I didn't hear this one. I'm so sorry.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's okay. He's been on the show a handful of times, and he.

[Night Wolf]

16 years, that's.

[Crushette Dungan]

You come across all kinds, which I'm sure you're going to find out with the extraordinarians. One episode, which is out now, there's.

[Night Wolf]

A lot of Guinness Records out there. Quickly, when he's eating the soup and.

[Crushette Dungan]

He doesn't eat the soup.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

He blows bubbles with the soup or the air makes bubbles with it.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, okay. I've seen those things at museums. Where are they? Massive bubbles.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, they're pretty big. But then they're also scalding hot. And when they burst, they tend to.

[Night Wolf]

They burn him.

[Crushette Dungan]

They.

[Night Wolf]

They.

[Crushette Dungan]

They. They don't burn him. They burn the children that are there for the party. You got to catch up with the show. This is his law.

[Night Wolf]

You'd think the parents would step in.

[Crushette Dungan]

You would think.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

But he keeps getting hired.

[Night Wolf]

Wow. Oh, man.

[Crushette Dungan]

Word of mouth would be his worst enemy.

[Night Wolf]

I kind of feel like you have a responsibility in this to say something.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm shining a light. The best sunlight is the best disinfectant, they say. So I'm shining a light on his. His practices.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, wow. Bringing awareness. Because this is an enemy. No, this is not an enemy.

[Crushette Dungan]

He's become an enemy.

[Night Wolf]

He's become an enemy.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, he's one of the most sour assholes I've ever had. The unfortunate non privileged to talk to.

[Night Wolf]

Do you mind me asking how many children have been scalded?

[Crushette Dungan]

I think it's in the dozens, certainly, if not hundreds at this point.

[Night Wolf]

Man, that is really shocking that it keeps going.

[Crushette Dungan]

I know, but everyone's got to do something, right?

[Night Wolf]

Everybody's got a gift much like this.

[Crushette Dungan]

How you have a gift for podcasting with these extraordinarians, one episode of which is out now. How many are in the.

[Night Wolf]

You keep saying the one, man.

[Crushette Dungan]

How many are in the tank? How many of you record.

[Night Wolf]

There's just one.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, you've only recorded one?

[Night Wolf]

No, we've recorded six, which. I missed the question. We've recorded six.

[Crushette Dungan]

So are you six episodes ahead? Are you. Are you. Do you do this once a week or what? We do.

[Night Wolf]

I'm actually doing one after this.

[Crushette Dungan]

Are you really? Who are you talking to? After this? Can you spoil it?

[Night Wolf]

No, I can't spoil it, God damn it. Because I don't know if I have the complete details about it yet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I kind of like the surprise.

[Crushette Dungan]

Do you walk into the recording studio and let them tell you who they are, or do you get prepped a little bit?

[Night Wolf]

Little bit. A little bit. I think it's funner when you not have that much prep.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Like today.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, exactly. I have no prep for you. I have one thing written down here. The extraordinarians, one episode of which is out now.

[Night Wolf]

How long have you had that whiteboard?

[Crushette Dungan]

This particular whiteboard. This. I believe this came around during COVID so it must be five years at this point.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. It's got a lot of marks on it.

[Night Wolf]

A lot of marks. The kind that you can't wash off anymore.

[Crushette Dungan]

I know. Do you want to buy me a new whiteboard? Now that you're a podcaster, do you.

[Night Wolf]

Want to buy me new headphones?

[Crushette Dungan]

We talked about headphones before. Sure. Why don't we do a swap? If we can find headphones and a whiteboard that are the same amount, the same price.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, that's not going to happen.

[Crushette Dungan]

You can find the fanciest whiteboard.

[Night Wolf]

Really?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

There's got to be one out there. That's. How much are headphones these days? What could they possibly be?

[Night Wolf]

8, $2,000.

[Crushette Dungan]

This is interested development.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. And I was at Staples and I saw whiteboard for $1,000.

[Crushette Dungan]

Did you really?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Okay, so I think it's a good swap.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, great.

[Night Wolf]

Can I have Your credit card number?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, sure. It's 111-1111. Gosh gracious 6969. Did you catch the Arrested Development reference that I. That I did in the middle of that? Oh, how much could. What is it? How much could a banana cost?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, yeah, I didn't catch it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

But that is one of my favorite lines. How much could a banana cost? $10.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Doing arrested Development references to you all the time.

[Night Wolf]

Last night someone did, and they were talking about me and Army Buster and Army and my awards and how they were stuffed animals.

[Crushette Dungan]

And then did you corner them and talk about some award show where everyone thought that they were the show?

[Night Wolf]

And then I said. I said, guess what? You're gonna die. And this is fleeting. Stay in the moment. Bye bye. Bye bye.

[Crushette Dungan]

I have to mention that the last time you were here on the show, you sent a message to my daughter as the character of Forky. Oh. And I took the recording of it, and I set it to a little animated gif of Forky, and I played it for her, and she was. It blew her mind.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I love that. Do you know, that made me so excited that I just think I pulled my neck out. I went, ah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Can I reset that for you? Do you need to get up and stretch or do jumping jacks or anything like that?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I love that. I. That is one of my favorite things to do. I actually did that also last night. It's become a little bit of a party trick because it's like, almost. Even if people aren't asking, like, if I find out, they.

[Crushette Dungan]

If someone just goes like, hey, I. Does anyone have a fork? You go, hey, I played fork. Record something, right?

[Night Wolf]

If I found out somebody has, like, a. It's like the age of, like, two to four child. I'm like, like, can I give your kid a voiceover from 4K? And they're like, all right, man, back off.

[Crushette Dungan]

She. She loved it. And she was like, again, Forky again. She would do that over and over and over again because, I mean, they're.

[Night Wolf]

In that magical space where they believe, you know, four key is real. Apologies to those out there who still think anyways. But I.

[Crushette Dungan]

But I, I, I set it to a animated gif that. I'd like to see that, but it still had the watermark in it. So I'm hoping you can find a different gift for me and sure. Maybe sink it to that also.

[Night Wolf]

Good dad. That's good, dad. You're a great dad.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's the one thing I've done Oh.

[Night Wolf]

No, I think you've done a lot of other things. 16 years of podcasting and an amazing wife.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's true.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's not. I mean, it hasn't affected her all that much, but I am a good dad. You're right.

[Night Wolf]

She adores you.

[Crushette Dungan]

Thank you so much. I just talked her.

[Scott Aukerman]

What?

[Night Wolf]

And all we talked about was.

[Crushette Dungan]

You did a pre interview before this with her. Well, the podcast is called the Extraordinarians. From what I am told, one episode is out right now, and it is concerning the pun competition champion. How does. How do they ask? Like, what do they do? They. They say, like, apple, and then you come up with a pun.

[Night Wolf]

She had this whole. Her name is Janaya. I forgot her last name. But they say a topic and then it has all these kind of rules to it. Like, it can't be this and this and this. So, like, I don't know. Yeah, but they say a word and then they have five seconds to complete upon. Or something to, like, come up with a pun.

[Crushette Dungan]

So it's. If it's like fruit, they go, well, apparently I. Dude.

[Night Wolf]

Exactly. Or like, if they said like fire, it's like something like, oh, you got smoked, or. Or something. But I just forgot what I was going to say. Wait, they have five seconds.

[Crushette Dungan]

We were talking about the amount of.

[Night Wolf]

Seconds, which is five seconds. And lost me. But she loves it.

[Crushette Dungan]

This is the takeaway. She loves it.

[Night Wolf]

She loves it.

[Crushette Dungan]

And you can listen.

[Night Wolf]

She's really, really good at it. And it is pretty wild. It's wild. And it's just a part of that brain. Like, she can just quickly come up.

[Crushette Dungan]

With all that kind of stuff, and then every week is going to be a new interesting person who's going to talk about their exploits and the just.

[Night Wolf]

Extraordinary things, the things that they've done.

[Crushette Dungan]

How are you finding the people to book the you out there in these.

[Night Wolf]

Streets, like, looking around for people doing Guinness conventions. We have a great producer, Kevin. Bart. Bart. Bart. And he should change his name because.

[Crushette Dungan]

It looks like Bartlett.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

You know what I mean? And then he makes us say Bartelt.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

What's the going on with this guy?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, gosh.

[Crushette Dungan]

We have to talk about Kevin.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. There's a. That makes me think of. Wasn't there a show called We Got to Talk about Kevin?

[Crushette Dungan]

I don't know.

[Night Wolf]

Oh. Anyways, he comes up with great people.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Oh, so he finds the people.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, he's researching and just finding all these people that have done extraordinary things.

[Crushette Dungan]

And they're just cold calls that he's like, hey, do you want to talk to star of Arrested Development? And Veep.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony Hill.

[Night Wolf]

And. And Kristen Shaw. And it's just. But it's like. And we.

[Crushette Dungan]

Last man on earth.

[Night Wolf]

Last man on earth.

[Crushette Dungan]

And Bob's Burgers.

[Night Wolf]

And Bob's Burgers. And we did this thing also where people can nominate, like, their friends who are, like, the worst or the best. So they'll say, like, oh, my friend's the best at making scrambled eggs. And then we call their friend and say, you've been awarded the best. Tell us about your scrambled eggs.

[Crushette Dungan]

And then you're also talking to the.

[Night Wolf]

Worst at things and the worst at things. So, like, somebody says, like, a really bad joke teller would be like, hey, supposedly you were nominated as the worst joke teller by your sister. And so then we talk to them about that.

[Crushette Dungan]

And has this caused any fights between friends and families or anything?

[Night Wolf]

Not as. But I'm not a huge fan of conflict, so I can. I can. I can steer that away.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, good.

[Night Wolf]

I might just lie. So you were actually voted the best. You're the best joke teller.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, well, I. I got my notes wrong. You're the best.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

And your sister loves you.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. That's wonderful.

[Night Wolf]

But it's great. And it's also, as, you know, it's just so fun to hang out with friends and, like, come up with stuff and meet these fascinating people.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, this is fantastic. Tony Hale is here. You can stick around the entire show, right? We're gonna be talking.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, please. This is my jam to meet new people.

[Crushette Dungan]

I love this. A team building expert is coming up on the show, as well as a photographer. We're gonna take a break. When we come back, we'll have more Tony Hale, more comedy. Bang bang. We'll be right back after this. You know what? The one thing your mom wants from you is to call her. Right? Well, this mother's Day, you can do two things. You can give her a call and give her an aura digital picture frame. That's right. Aura frames was named the best digital photo frame by wirecutter and featured in 495 gift guides last year. That's a lot. I've talked about it many times. I think the aura digital frame is the absolute best gift that I have ever given anyone. We gave one to all of our family members. We have them around the house. We sit there just watching them. I cannot tell you, probably 20 times a day, we point at it and say, remember that? Or we point to my daughter and say, hey, who's that? And she says, that's me. It's just an incredible gift to give. So Aura has a great deal for Mother's Day.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, yeah. It's a fun show.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. How many episodes are there? More episodes than of the extraordinaries?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, a lot. There's seven seasons of that.

[Crushette Dungan]

Seven. How many would you do? Like 10. 10? How many episodes per season?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I think it was 10. Yeah, it was 10.

[Crushette Dungan]

So like 70 episodes, man.

[Night Wolf]

Both you and I, man, the memory is just fading away as we're talking.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's okay. You know, the important thing is right now, where we are, the human interactions.

[Night Wolf]

This is our big thing. This is our big thing. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

This is the thing we're doing right now. Well, the extraordinarians is out now. Sketch comes out August 6th. We need to get to our next guest. She's a team building expert, I'm told. Please welcome for the first time on the show, Crushette Dungan.

[Tony Hale]

Oh, my God. Well, okay. I'm so excited to be here.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm excited to have you welcome.

[Tony Hale]

I'm Crushette. I'm a T building expert, and I. Okay, so I really wanted to be on here so that you could finally have access to me because I work with teams that need building and just like, if it's something that comes up for you and you're like, oh, my gosh, this. For this podcast, we're not gelling. We're not working. We're not gluing, we're not holding. I need to get Chrishette in here and get some. Get some activities going to really bond and get us together.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, great. Yeah. I mean, Tony and I, we have a rapport. He's been on the show approximately twice before.

[Night Wolf]

We could always use more help.

[Crushette Dungan]

We could use. Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

What are some. What's an example of an exercise you would do for a team?

[Tony Hale]

Oh, I love this. It's a really good question.

[Night Wolf]

Did you just have a cocktail?

[Tony Hale]

Well, I do have to make one quick quote. Confession is that I'm still out. Like, I haven't been in yet.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, how do you mean?

[Tony Hale]

Okay, so last night. So I had a great team balding experience last night with Nordstrom Rack. Okay, so we are all together. We did all the fun activities and we. We were so gelled. Right. And we were like, we don't want to stop. Let's go out. So we had a full night of it. Okay. We. We started at the woods, which is Woody Harrelson's weed lounge. So we started there and then we went to Bottega Louis, which is like a really good Italian Place. We went to the back, we had a pizza, and then I had a raspberry macaroon. Is that how you say it?

[Crushette Dungan]

Macroon.

[Tony Hale]

Macaron. Macaroon.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think macaron is the Canadian prime Minister. I think a macaroon, maybe.

[Tony Hale]

Macaroon, yeah. So good.

[Night Wolf]

You just had one. Just one macaroon?

[Tony Hale]

I just had one.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Building a base.

[Night Wolf]

I need some more food in your tummy.

[Tony Hale]

And then we went to the Abbey. Oh, okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

The Abbey is a cocktail bar.

[Tony Hale]

It's a bar.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

And we danced and I ended up on a table and I ended up getting kicked out. But that did not stop the night. We kept going anyway.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Where did you keep going after if it didn't stop the night?

[Tony Hale]

Okay, so there's this. There used to be a bar called Ledoux, but now it's just an open warehouse. So we went there and then I went to.

[Crushette Dungan]

What did you do in the open warehouse?

[Tony Hale]

There was nothing done.

[Crushette Dungan]

Just looked around. Did you think it might still be the bar?

[Tony Hale]

I thought it was still open and active, but it wasn't. It's been shut down and it's just an open warehouse.

[Crushette Dungan]

A warehouse?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's so interesting to convert a bar into a warehouse.

[Tony Hale]

It's just empty, but it's looking like there's a lot of potential there. So then I don't like to take Ubers, so I just got on one of those Postmates robots and rode it. And it was going to Galson's. So I went to Galson's, went to the soup bar, got a little more bass. Then I went to the bar.

[Crushette Dungan]

They usually tidy those up around like 8pm they take all the soup out of the terrines.

[Tony Hale]

Oh, this was at 7:45.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Then we went.

[Crushette Dungan]

So this was at 7:45. You had a massively huge evening pre 7:45.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah. It's just getting started.

[Night Wolf]

Do things really stay open all night?

[Tony Hale]

Yes. This is la, baby. Oh, yeah, I think so.

[Crushette Dungan]

And also it's five in the afternoon and most of the places you went to. It sounds like.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, so it's. But it's a hoppin city all hours.

[Night Wolf]

Can I ask, Can I ask, what do you mean by you got a base?

[Tony Hale]

You gotta build a base before you're drinking.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, like a food base.

[Tony Hale]

A food base.

[Night Wolf]

Aha. Got it.

[Tony Hale]

So you're building the base. You go. But you have little bits as you go. So one macaroon will get you to the next place. And then you just have little bites as you go.

[Night Wolf]

I see.

[Tony Hale]

Because you want to eat too much. Because then once you're up and you're out and you should have a whole flight of, you know, IPAs or something, those are. That's all coming up. You know what I mean?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I hear you got it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, so after Gall, did you hop back on the Postmates robot?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, I think his name was Shimmy.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, we know a Shimmy, by the way.

[Tony Hale]

Oh, you do?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Shimmy comes on this show. He's trapped in the wall somewhere. It's not a robot, but okay. He's a human being.

[Tony Hale]

I hope I meet. I love that name. So then I rode Shimmy to Birds, which was a quit.

[Crushette Dungan]

Birds is a restaurant over by.

[Tony Hale]

And then I caught a show at ucb.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, you caught an entire show?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah. And then I went to the celebrity Cent.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, the. The Scientology celebrity center across the street.

[Tony Hale]

They had a. They had a bagel bar going.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, but you're not a. Are you a Scientologist? No, no.

[Tony Hale]

I just know they let anybody in there.

[Night Wolf]

Right.

[Crushette Dungan]

So they had a full bagel bar.

[Tony Hale]

They had a bagel bar.

[Crushette Dungan]

What does that mean? They have a ton of bagels. An assortment of bagels, and then some lox and cream cheese.

[Tony Hale]

Yes, yes. Capers, lox, cream cheese. You could get your bagels scooped out. You could. Whatever you need. So I had a bagel, more beige. And then we went to Warwick.

[Crushette Dungan]

What is Warwick?

[Tony Hale]

It's a hot, hot, hot spot.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Okay. And so one of the things is, I don't like. I like to stand in line.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, what do you enjoy? Most people don't care to stand in line.

[Tony Hale]

I like it.

[Night Wolf]

You like it?

[Tony Hale]

I like it because then you can mingle and meet. And I like to get people in line, like doing some activities. Team building.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Cause we're all in a team. We're all working together on this line.

[Night Wolf]

And what would be a team building exercise you'd do in.

[Tony Hale]

Would say, who has an egg on them?

[Crushette Dungan]

I mean, that's a tough ask.

[Night Wolf]

I would imagine that is, especially in a club.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, that one hasn't worked out so great. So then I'll usually do, like, two truths and a lie.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay. So, like, what is an example? I think I know what it is.

[Tony Hale]

Okay, so the way it works is you work out. You jumble up in your head, like, two truths and one lie.

[Crushette Dungan]

So what are two truths in a lie for you?

[Tony Hale]

So, hi, I'm Chrishette. I am a licensed t bony expert with a License?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

The fact that you said that twice makes me feel like that's the lie.

[Tony Hale]

I have only injured four people during the trust fall experience.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

I need the lie, too. I'm not sure.

[Tony Hale]

And I am from New Gasbury.

[Night Wolf]

Wow.

[Crushette Dungan]

I feel like number one was the lie. That's.

[Night Wolf]

I don't think it's number one. I believe you're a licensed.

[Crushette Dungan]

You think she's licensed? Okay. Do you. Which one do you think is the lie? The New Gaspar.

[Night Wolf]

I would say New Gasbury.

[Tony Hale]

You're right, because that's not the place.

[Crushette Dungan]

Where are you from?

[Night Wolf]

What is the. Where are you from?

[Tony Hale]

I'm from New Hampshire.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay. That is a place. I've heard of that.

[Tony Hale]

Yes. That is a place.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

So. But I usually don't even like to lie because I like to keep things really honest with my participants. But, yeah, so I did injure a few people during a trust fall experience.

[Night Wolf]

What happened?

[Crushette Dungan]

Were you not there to catch them?

[Tony Hale]

I was doing. So I was working with Erewhon grocery store.

[Crushette Dungan]

Erewhon is a grocery store that's very expensive here in Los Angeles.

[Night Wolf]

All this tracks you and Erewhon?

[Tony Hale]

Yes. So I got all the employees together. We were gonna do this trust fall. Turns out they're all very limber, so they couldn't do the stiff as a board thing. So he's noodled straight through the arms and into that.

[Crushette Dungan]

So he passed through you almost.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, he passed through. So that was one of them.

[Night Wolf]

Did you kind of go along with the others, or were you able to be strong for him or.

[Tony Hale]

No, no, no. He noodled. And I was like, oh, God, I don't know. This is above my pay grade. I don't know.

[Night Wolf]

You're the person getting to your pay grade.

[Tony Hale]

I know, but I.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's exactly the pay grade.

[Tony Hale]

I've only been doing this for 15 months.

[Crushette Dungan]

So what did you do before Crucial?

[Tony Hale]

Oh, so I sold medical devices to. To one hospital.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, so an assortment of medical devices, or did you just sell one medical device?

[Tony Hale]

I sold one medical device that I made in my garage to one hospital. To one hospital.

[Crushette Dungan]

What was the medical device?

[Tony Hale]

So what it was is like a thing where you hook up to your earlobes and it reads your blood.

[Crushette Dungan]

I mean, that sounds like a great invention. Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Did this work?

[Tony Hale]

So I saw that girl who made that thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, the. What was her name?

[Tony Hale]

Amanda. No, what was her name?

[Crushette Dungan]

She defrauded all of her. The people. I'm.

[Tony Hale]

Put a little bit of blood in a little machine that tells you to have anything. She's like, that's brilliant.

[Crushette Dungan]

You know, she went to prison for a long time, though.

[Tony Hale]

Yes, but. But I. Yes. I didn't finish the documentary.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah. So basically it's like jumper cables, but you put them on your ears and then it tells you what your blood's doing.

[Night Wolf]

I mean, I kind of wonder if that. If it. I'm. I'm questioning if it did well. And I'm questioning if that finances your, like, party life. Like, does it?

[Tony Hale]

Yes, it did very well. The hospital bought about 15 medical devices.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, so how much were they each?

[Tony Hale]

They're $35,000.

[Crushette Dungan]

Whoa.

[Night Wolf]

So you made bank.

[Tony Hale]

So that really funded me. So I'm really just doing the tea welding for fun. I mean, it's really what fuels me is my passion. Like, I love meeting people. I love getting them to jolt and to clump up.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, well, maybe we should do some exercises.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, I'd love it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Okay, great.

[Night Wolf]

Clump up. What does that mean?

[Crushette Dungan]

Is that like the clumps from the Nutty Professor?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, like a family.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I got it.

[Night Wolf]

Okay. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

I didn't realize that was a slang term that was born out of that movie. To clump up is to be like a family.

[Tony Hale]

Yes, exactly. Exactly.

[Crushette Dungan]

Got it.

[Tony Hale]

So I love everyone who works together to feel like a family. Right.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, yeah, It's a clump up.

[Tony Hale]

Are we starting to feel like a family here?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, I am.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, we haven't even started the exercises, so.

[Night Wolf]

No, but I still feel an energy. Is that what you're talking about?

[Tony Hale]

I love what you do. Right. Does anyone have an egg?

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony, do you?

[Night Wolf]

I don't have an egg. I have a coaster.

[Tony Hale]

Okay. Does anyone have a small ball or a marble?

[Crushette Dungan]

Were you playing marbles earlier or last night maybe with this person?

[Tony Hale]

Does anyone have a spoon?

[Night Wolf]

I have some scissors.

[Tony Hale]

Okay. Scissors will work.

[Crushette Dungan]

Scissors will work.

[Tony Hale]

Scissors and a coaster. Okay.

[Night Wolf]

And a coaster.

[Tony Hale]

Y. To start at one end of the room.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

And you're going to carry that coaster across on that scissors and not drop it. And we're going to cheer for you.

[Crushette Dungan]

We're going to cheer. Okay. So, Tony, I. I think.

[Night Wolf]

Is there a specific way I should hold the scissor?

[Tony Hale]

Well, that's up to you. That's where you get creative.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

However you want to try to hold.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think I was.

[Night Wolf]

I was taught to hold the scissor the point side in. Maybe I should do that.

[Crushette Dungan]

Don't you think you would get stabbed if you fell on it that way?

[Night Wolf]

That's true. Maybe I'll do Alex.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think that you should always hold them out towards the person you're giving to them because they get stuck. Stabbed.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, I should have told you guys. I have injured a few people during this exercise, so.

[Night Wolf]

So they. With the scissors or with the eggs? Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Well, with the egg as well. They accidentally saw.

[Night Wolf]

All right.

[Crushette Dungan]

All right, well, take care of yourself. Be careful with it. But go ahead and take that coaster. Put it on the side.

[Tony Hale]

We almost have to cheer for that. We all have to cheer.

[Night Wolf]

And what is the coaster again? I put the coaster.

[Tony Hale]

I put the scissors on the scissors. And you don't drop it.

[Night Wolf]

Great.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, so here we go. Tony's put the coaster on the scissors. He's now getting up.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Is this a blindfold you're putting on me?

[Tony Hale]

That feels. Yes. And this is a satin blindfold.

[Crushette Dungan]

How does it feel? Yeah, satin. That's legit.

[Night Wolf]

I wasn't concerned until now.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, that's from my house.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

What do you usually use this for?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, what kind of podcast is this?

[Crushette Dungan]

Informational.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Okay. Well, I usually use that for some personal things.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

I mean, that's information. So I think it would. That is, if you were to tell us it would fit onto the.

[Tony Hale]

Use that for. For. So my lover. I'll put a blindfold on him, and then we'll play hide and seek.

[Night Wolf]

Okay. I'm not so concerned, actually, where that came from. I'm a little concerned not be able to see with the scissors in the face.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I thought you were concerned about the sanitary.

[Night Wolf]

No, that doesn't concern me.

[Tony Hale]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

I think that I was. I wasn't nervous until you put a blindfold on me with scissors that made. Did make.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, well, you know, but have at it. Here we go.

[Tony Hale]

Come on, Tony. Come on, Tony.

[Scott Aukerman]

Tony.

[Crushette Dungan]

You can do it. You can do it. Do it.

[Tony Hale]

You can do it. Oh.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, man. I didn't hit myself, but that. Did you not want to tell me where the wall was? Isn't that a part of the trust?

[Tony Hale]

Oops. Okay. Yeah, that was what we were supposed to do.

[Crushette Dungan]

We're suppo. Oh. Instead of cheering, we're supposed. Tony, Tony, the wall.

[Tony Hale]

Slow down, slow down. You're close to the wall.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, we'll do that now.

[Tony Hale]

Forget that part.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Put the blindfold back on.

[Tony Hale]

Put it back on.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony.

[Tony Hale]

Well, slow. Wait, he was sprinting.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, that's not. You got to, like, start slow, and then we say slower.

[Night Wolf]

All right.

[Tony Hale]

Should we all go get drinks?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yes.

[Night Wolf]

I mean, should we have one now. Do you mix drinks?

[Tony Hale]

I have a flight for us.

[Night Wolf]

Wait, so you didn't bring an egg, but you brought a flight?

[Tony Hale]

Yes, I brought a flight.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

What is the flight of?

[Tony Hale]

Is it eggs don't travel well in my big bag. Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

And liquor. Oh. And. Okay. Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

So I brought a flight of airplane bottles. Oh, wow. All right, so these can. We'll just do. We'll just.

[Crushette Dungan]

How did you get the airplane bottles? They usually don't sell those to.

[Tony Hale]

I was on a flight and I.

[Crushette Dungan]

Sell a lot of bottles.

[Tony Hale]

I know a lot of bottles, but I flew from New Guinea.

[Night Wolf]

Why were you in New Guinea?

[Crushette Dungan]

What were you doing there?

[Tony Hale]

Team building.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow.

[Night Wolf]

So people are actually hiring you?

[Tony Hale]

Yes, I'm international.

[Night Wolf]

You're international.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Night Wolf]

Wow. Are you getting good reviews? Are you getting. Yeah, please.

[Crushette Dungan]

Can I look you up on Yelp? Okay, let me look you up. What is your business name, if you don't mind me asking?

[Tony Hale]

It is Chrchette Crochet.

[Crushette Dungan]

I believe I'm spelling that correctly.

[Tony Hale]

Yes. It's like Chrishell and Bridgette.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Chrishette's Clumps. Clumps.

[Crushette Dungan]

Chrisette's Clumps. Okay. Okay.

[Tony Hale]

You've seen my site.

[Night Wolf]

I've actually seen it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay. It's a one and a half star average here.

[Tony Hale]

That's really good.

[Crushette Dungan]

A lot of people saying that. The business name doesn't tell you exactly what was going to happen to you. Yeah, but it's catchy. I didn't bring an egg, and then suddenly my session was over.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Can you break down what would have happened with the egg if there was always an egg present?

[Tony Hale]

Well, there are two things that we do with the egg activity, and I hear those reviews, but also, I'm going to take a little tip from Tony. Those people weren't living in the moment. They were thinking too much about, like, oh, what could have happened?

[Crushette Dungan]

What did we pray for?

[Tony Hale]

Right. When you should just live in the moment and enjoy it. What's in front of you, you know? Okay, so with the egg, there are two options. You can either put it on the spoon and do what you did and go across the room and we'll say, hey, hold, hold, hold.

[Crushette Dungan]

Slow, slow, slow. Don't sprint.

[Tony Hale]

Or there's egg drop, where each participant will have an egg and cover it in something, and we'll all drop them at the same time. And you want to.

[Crushette Dungan]

When you take. Oh, I gotta back up. Yeah, please, if you don't mind, but cover it in something. What does that mean?

[Tony Hale]

Well, that's where you get creative.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I see. You're trying to make it not break once it drops. So some people would put rubber bands.

[Tony Hale]

With a Kleenex to make a parachute, like packing peanuts. Or you could put a pillows around it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Night Wolf]

So you're trying to protect the egg.

[Tony Hale]

You're trying to protect the egg. And then everybody drops it together. And I say drop, and then we all see who passed the test.

[Crushette Dungan]

But that seems like an individual challenge. How does that help teamwork?

[Night Wolf]

Does the team go like. I don't think that's gonna work.

[Tony Hale]

Team can. Team can talk.

[Night Wolf]

Div notes.

[Crushette Dungan]

Team can talk.

[Night Wolf]

Team can talk.

[Tony Hale]

Oh, that's team can talk.

[Crushette Dungan]

I noticed you have some literature here.

[Tony Hale]

That's one of my catchphrases.

[Crushette Dungan]

It says, number one, team can talk.

[Night Wolf]

Team can talk.

[Tony Hale]

So team can be. Oh, I've seen that. You wrapped this up in just one slice of paper. That's not gonna. That didn't work. So next time, maybe we would do something different. So team can talk.

[Crushette Dungan]

Team can talk. Okay, great.

[Night Wolf]

What a great motto.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Did you have a mentor that taught you this?

[Tony Hale]

Tony Robbins?

[Crushette Dungan]

The same Tony Robbins that.

[Tony Hale]

No, no, no. Tony Robbins. My neighbor that I grew up next to in New Hampshire.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh. Oh. What was Tony Robbins deal?

[Tony Hale]

He was a big loner, but like.

[Crushette Dungan]

A loan shark or what does that mean? Oh, loner.

[Tony Hale]

He hung out by himself a lot, but he studied teams because he desperately wanted to be part of teams. And so I learned everything from him. Like, oh, what is he missing? His life. This guy needs. He wants this, he wants that, he wants to talk. Exactly. Whatever happened to him, he's. He's.

[Night Wolf]

He's still there.

[Tony Hale]

Still there.

[Crushette Dungan]

Still. Still there. But how? Like, whatever. Whatever happened to him in his life, other than just being in his. I wasn't asking about his location.

[Tony Hale]

No, it's okay. It's a. It's a little bit dark.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Is this the friend that you had the blindfold with? Is this the same? Is this. I mean, you don't have to.

[Tony Hale]

No, we did date.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

What happened to him?

[Tony Hale]

He was looking for me. I had the blindfold on, he was looking for me, and.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wait, you had the blindfold on and he was looking for you?

[Tony Hale]

Yes.

[Crushette Dungan]

Seems difficult.

[Tony Hale]

Well, we were mixing it up.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

And he was looking for me. Looking for me. He couldn't find me because I had a pretty good hiding spot.

[Crushette Dungan]

Where were you hiding?

[Tony Hale]

I was like, deep, deep under the house.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, like a basement?

[Tony Hale]

Or were you just dug a hole under the house?

[Night Wolf]

Can I Just. I'm gonna be really honest. Cause I think I want to hear, was there a lock on that door? Did he put you down there? And this is not something you want to share. Okay. Well, first of all, let me just say I'm glad you're out.

[Tony Hale]

Me too. And that's why I like to be around people.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. So you were locked in a. A dungeon. Is it safe to call it a dungeon house? It was not that you're blindfolded locked in a dungeon.

[Night Wolf]

Scary.

[Tony Hale]

Some raccoons. It was really actually pretty fun.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, gosh.

[Tony Hale]

I had a good time.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

And I really got those raccoons to work together. Team did talk.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow.

[Tony Hale]

But I think I learned a lot from that experience. In particular, I bet. And so now I'm using everything I learned from him from that experience. Took a big old flight to la.

[Crushette Dungan]

And pun intended as well, because all.

[Tony Hale]

Of these flights, and I have never looked back. And I have built teams all across the city. If you go into a store and you feel the synergy of that team, there's a pretty good chance there's you.

[Night Wolf]

Also, I have seen the raccoon logo around town. Is that you?

[Tony Hale]

That is me with the blindfold on. Raccoon with the blindfold.

[Crushette Dungan]

This literature that you brought has just. Just a ton of pictures of a raccoon.

[Tony Hale]

That's it. That's it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Some of them are mating in this.

[Tony Hale]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

One of them has a blindfold on. Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Yes. Wow. I just love that you used something which sounds really awful and dark and used it for the positive.

[Tony Hale]

That's right. It's called alchemy.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm not sure it is, but I'll take you at your word. This is.

[Tony Hale]

Okay, so what's an example of a place you've gone in this city, and you're like, the vibes here are perfect, and the people are synergized.

[Crushette Dungan]

Where were you last night?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, where were you last night?

[Crushette Dungan]

It sounds like a lot happened to you last night.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, I was. It was a restaurant downtown.

[Tony Hale]

Was it. Was it Little Caesar's?

[Crushette Dungan]

Like, pizza pizza?

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

No, but is that pizza?

[Tony Hale]

Work with him. And that team is united Fire.

[Crushette Dungan]

Was the little guy in the toga there with.

[Tony Hale]

He was pizza. Pizza, pizza.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. He had the two pizzas on his stick.

[Tony Hale]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Wow.

[Tony Hale]

He didn't. He probably had the biggest growth spurt in that group.

[Crushette Dungan]

Really?

[Night Wolf]

Wow.

[Tony Hale]

He did not want to work with people. And then he was talking team.

[Night Wolf]

At the end of it, he was talking period team.

[Crushette Dungan]

Contest. Well, this is fantastic. Oh, my gosh, Tony, do you feel like you learned anything here?

[Night Wolf]

Did I learn anything?

[Crushette Dungan]

You slammed into the wall a couple of times.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. But that's okay. Listen, it was worth it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, I think it was. I feel connected to you.

[Night Wolf]

I'm inspired by. You are really making lemonade out of some serious lemons.

[Tony Hale]

Thank you. And putting a little bit of a flight in there.

[Night Wolf]

And putting a little bit of extra.

[Tony Hale]

And just went. So now that you have access to me, you have my personal email address.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Tony Hale]

You can use me for any of your team building experiences.

[Crushette Dungan]

I definitely will. I mean, this has been an invaluable experience. I think it has. And you should. You should probably. With your co hosts on the extraordinarians, you should probably do some of this training with them as well.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Two truths and a lie. Egg drop. We can build our own.

[Crushette Dungan]

That could be a weekly segment on your show. The egg drop.

[Night Wolf]

The egg drop. I do want you to take care of yourself.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. It feels like you're self medicating a bit or a lot.

[Night Wolf]

I would say disassociating from slow.

[Crushette Dungan]

Much like Tony did with his childhood.

[Night Wolf]

Fully.

[Tony Hale]

I'm just with your memory.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

I don't remember a lot of exercises for that, really. And I'm just so busy right now. I'm in my building phase.

[Crushette Dungan]

Right, Right.

[Tony Hale]

So I'll sleep, you know, when I'm dead.

[Night Wolf]

When you're dead. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think we all will. I mean, that is the truth. Words to live by or to die by. We need to take a break, come back. We're going to have a photographer, but can you stick around? Crushette.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, I can do that.

[Night Wolf]

Yes, that's the plan.

[Crushette Dungan]

That is the plan. But, you know, I mean, God laughs when we humans make plans.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Oh, God. All right, Well, I guess it's over.

[Crushette Dungan]

And we also have crochet Dungan here, who was taking us through a few other exercises during the break.

[Tony Hale]

Yes. Slide on the carpet.

[Crushette Dungan]

Slide on the carpet. Was one that.

[Night Wolf]

Like a dog?

[Tony Hale]

No, on your belly.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh. Cause you were rubbing your ass against my carpet.

[Night Wolf]

And that's what Walter does.

[Tony Hale]

That's when team can talk about, hey, let's get you on your belly.

[Night Wolf]

Let's get you on your belly.

[Crushette Dungan]

Who's Walter, by the way?

[Night Wolf]

My dog.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

You can't just say that's what Walter does not explain who Walter does.

[Night Wolf]

I like watching Walter slide his little bottom on the rug.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. So. Yeah. You were sliding your butt on the car.

[Night Wolf]

I was.

[Crushette Dungan]

The entire time.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, God, I wish somebody had told me. You didn't tell me. Isn't that kind of part of your job to tell me that we let.

[Tony Hale]

You work at home out first.

[Crushette Dungan]

No judgments.

[Tony Hale]

No judgments. And then we start talking.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, but unless I brought it up, I wouldn't have known.

[Tony Hale]

No, we. We watch you scoot for a little bit and then we. We'd let you know.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. We had a Good time watching you.

[Tony Hale]

We were all laughing and giggling. And that's part of the team. Yeah, we were team building. Laughing at you.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. That's one technique that I've been reading about in your literature here.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Amongst all of the pictures of the raccoons yelling, what are these two raccoons doing, by the way? They're. It seems like they're. They're in the middle of. Of like Greco Roman wrestling or something. What are they up to here?

[Tony Hale]

Yes, they're expressing each other's anal glands.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

But what are the costumes you put on them?

[Tony Hale]

Oh, those are superhero costumes.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Which superheroes are they supposed. These are not licensed heroes, Right?

[Scott Aukerman]

No.

[Tony Hale]

Cause I couldn't. I don't wanna get sued.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, yeah. So those were. Mr. Raccoon Man.

[Crushette Dungan]

Mr. Raccoon Man. So it's a raccoon with the powers of a man.

[Tony Hale]

That's it.

[Night Wolf]

It's definitely not out there.

[Tony Hale]

That's right. And then little. A squeeze box.

[Crushette Dungan]

Little Sally squeeze box.

[Tony Hale]

Yes. And she just. She's a musician.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay. That's not really a superpower, is it, to be a musician or maybe, maybe.

[Tony Hale]

How have you met a musician?

[Crushette Dungan]

That's a good point. Maybe Sally was not a musician, then got bitten by a radioactive musician and then the next day.

[Night Wolf]

That's a lot of backstory, Scott.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, I'm sorry. You know, we can work this out, though, if we're going to turn these into something. Right?

[Tony Hale]

Mean, are we working together?

[Crushette Dungan]

I have access to you with your email.

[Tony Hale]

That's true. You know what I teach in my groups. Don't say no until you got it. Gotta.

[Crushette Dungan]

I think you should have said no with the guy who locked you in the dungeon a little bit earlier.

[Tony Hale]

Thank you.

[Night Wolf]

Saw that.

[Tony Hale]

I'll give you a chance until it's a hard note. Right now we're gonna see where it goes.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, wonderful. Well, we need to get to our next. Okay, we need to get to our next guest. He's a photographer. He's been on the show many times before. He's. Or a videographer.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, you're mysterious mistaken, Scott. I've never been on the show before. I'm the Night Wolf.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, sorry. I was told Jack Furze was going to be on the show.

[Scott Aukerman]

I have a common mistake. No, I've actually never. I'm the mask vigilante protector of Los Angeles known as the Night Wolf. This is my first time on the show.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I. We've been talking about you for years now on the show, Jack. I'm sorry, I didn't mistake you.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no.

[Crushette Dungan]

My producer must have gotten the information mixed up.

[Night Wolf]

You have a producer?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Can you imagine listening to the show? But Jack Furze, I don't know if you know who he is. He's a photographer.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm a fan of his work. It's funny you bring him up. I actually wanted to talk about him.

[Crushette Dungan]

Really? Okay. So he's been talking about you for years. He's a photographer and he videographer.

[Scott Aukerman]

He frequently takes videos of me and photos of me and tries to publish stories about him. I mean, he's a very skilled photographer. He's a great guy. And he's looking for work, and I kind of wanted to come out here and plug his business.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, I think he was a.

[Crushette Dungan]

Freelance videographer for local news stations.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

But it seemed like he was only interested in taking video of you and your exploits.

[Scott Aukerman]

He was really trying to champion me and some of the cases I've been on, and I feel bad for him. I mean, he just got kicked off ktla. He had a good run there, and he's really looking for anything. So if anybody's got any leads for this guy, because he is.

[Tony Hale]

Does he take pictures of team building time?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I mean, he could at this point. He's willing to do anything as long as it's above board. I mean, hell, even if it's at board level or slightly below board level, you need somebody.

[Night Wolf]

Like, how did you two meet?

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, I. We actually both own wolves. So it's a weird coincidence we both have two pet wolves, but with the same names, justice and Payback. It's a weird, small world thing. We both kind of work out at the same dojo.

[Crushette Dungan]

I always thought that was a strange coincidence. He owned these two wolves, justice and Payback. You also own the two wolves, justice and Payback? Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Two separate wolves?

[Night Wolf]

Are they two separate wolves?

[Scott Aukerman]

They are, yes. It's just.

[Crushette Dungan]

We take you at your word. Great.

[Scott Aukerman]

The life is full of these weird coincidences.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

How did you get those names? Justin and Payback?

[Scott Aukerman]

They just kind of manifested themselves. Payback is kind of condemned to the wolf's den right now. Which, yes, I know, is the name of Hitler's bunker. I didn't find that out until I named it. You can stop telling me that.

[Crushette Dungan]

What? Hitler's bunker aside, what is it? What do you mean he's condemned to the wolf?

[Scott Aukerman]

He. He ate a small pug when.

[Tony Hale]

He did.

[Scott Aukerman]

He did? Yes. PB Payback. He ate A small dog and gracious y. It was. It was a sad day for us.

[Tony Hale]

Friend Julie is missing her dog.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, well, I, It's. I'll get on that case in a minute.

[Crushette Dungan]

So he's a cannibal.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, wolves are not necessarily dogs.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, right, yes. Okay. I mean, they were bred from dogs originally, were they not? Or I, I, I have no idea. You know more about wolves.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wolves were bred from dogs.

[Crushette Dungan]

Sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

The reverse. Okay. And then man turned into ape. This is turning into planet.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay. Night Wolf. We've never, We've never met there' yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

We don't have that kind of rapport. But I have listened to the show. I love the show.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I love the episode where you and Louis CK Cried.

[Crushette Dungan]

I. That did not happen. That's wtf.

[Scott Aukerman]

So new to this world, Scott, because I've never been here that I got the two shows confused.

[Crushette Dungan]

I really don't want to be confused with that. But let me, Let me ask you a question, because we've been talking about you for years now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. You know Jack Furze. Decide what you want to plug his business. Whatever, whatever. But, like, tell me about being a mass vigilante.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, yes, I mean, I, and again, I, I really. Everything in our society is me, me, me. Right. I did want to help out Jack a little bit.

[Crushette Dungan]

Sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's kind of.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, he's probably fine.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's probably, you know, he's probably underwater with a lot of lawsuits. He's probably getting sued by Marvel Comics and.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, that's right. They had a character.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Weirdly, they also have a character named Night Wolf. And Kevin Hart is maybe coming at him, even though that suit should get thrown out because he's got a movie called Night Wolf. I mean, why they're going after Jack Furze with these lawsuits is anybody's guess, but the guy's in financial trouble.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, we don't have to talk about. Because I have the Night Wolf on my show here.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, but you have a real heart for him, which I think is really.

[Crushette Dungan]

Nice, and I think we should all.

[Scott Aukerman]

Be looking out for each other.

[Crushette Dungan]

But tell me about the Night Wolf. Tell me about, like, what crimes have you stopped? What? I mean, we've gotten so little information. Just the, the video that Jack Furze has taken.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. A very serious case right now. Did you hear about this bank robbery? There was a jewel robbery downtown.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's two very different things.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I mean, maybe people haven't heard about the bank robbery yet, but I'm working on that one, too.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

But a jewel robbery.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's a big jewelry heist. Yeah. Millions of dollars stolen. And people think it's a pack of thieves. And they're not thinking the big picture of maybe these thieves told someone someone was locked inside this vault. And this guy broke in and he didn't want to, and he was tricked and then they knocked him out.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

[Tony Hale]

Wait.

[Crushette Dungan]

Who's not thinking the big picture?

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm thinking the authorities. I mean, that's why I do this, Scott. I investigate these cases.

[Crushette Dungan]

You think the case. What happened? What's working.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's my working theory.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

These robbers.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure found some do gooder who's trying to maybe protect the city. And they tell him, hey, somebody's stuck inside the vault. And so this guy, this good guy who's probably some could see as a hero because he's doing the right thing.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Tony Hale]

Does he have a name?

[Scott Aukerman]

We. I'm. I'm working on that.

[Crushette Dungan]

There are clues about the name.

[Scott Aukerman]

There might be clues.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, the scene is probably covered in my DNA because I'm investigating it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I see. But that makes sense.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. But maybe this guy, this hero, let's call him, drills into this vault and there is no one inside. There was no one trapped. And then these horrible villains knock him out and rob this place and try to make it look like he robbed the place.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's sick.

[Night Wolf]

Do you know what's hard though, is you're wearing a beautiful diamond necklace.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

And.

[Crushette Dungan]

Which doesn't really go with your costume, I have to say.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. My costume is kind of in trouble these days. Days. The heat from a separate drill burned off the fur on the night wolf's costume. So at this point, it's basically just the ski mask rolled up a little bit.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Okay. So that was a separate drill, though.

[Tony Hale]

That must have smelled.

[Scott Aukerman]

It smells awful. It smelled awful. We've all smelled burnt air. Imagine just a low grade costume. Fur just going up in flames.

[Night Wolf]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Because these drills get hot.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. So. So to. To. To sort of augment your costume, you put a diamond necklace around your neck.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

That's not a party city necklace.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's not.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is the real thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, man.

[Scott Aukerman]

Clues I could find. And I'm asking around and.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I see. So it's. Oh, it's. It's evidence.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is evidence. This is evidence. Yeah. And I wear it around just to keep. Keep a. A close eye on it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Sure. Well, I mean, what better place to have but on your neck?

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that David Yurman is David. Who is he?

[Night Wolf]

He's a jeweler.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I believe I'm working on the case. So I. I gotta talk to people like you who know.

[Night Wolf]

I was, you know, I was just getting a charm bracelet for my wife at Tiffany and Company, and I. I saw that necklace.

[Crushette Dungan]

Are you.

[Night Wolf]

Are we talking about Tiffany's?

[Scott Aukerman]

This place was, I believe, Tiffany's, or someone named Tiffany was working there at the very least. I know that much.

[Night Wolf]

That's.

[Crushette Dungan]

So at the very least, there was someone named.

[Scott Aukerman]

At the very least. And I gotta go through my paperwork. I got my little notepad here. It's a little singed from the heat from the drill.

[Tony Hale]

That's a little notebook.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I gotta keep it in my wallet here.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So I gotta keep it real small, and you can fold it up, but this is where I've jot down a lot of clues. It's a lot of detectives.

[Crushette Dungan]

You've only put one word on each of the pages here. Like this one says, that's all it takes.

[Scott Aukerman]

All it takes to jog my memory.

[Tony Hale]

This one says drill.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, that's. And that represents drill. Cake.

[Night Wolf]

Take.

[Scott Aukerman]

Take.

[Night Wolf]

And then the next one just says, grab it.

[Crushette Dungan]

But then this one says, cake.

[Tony Hale]

Cake.

[Scott Aukerman]

I got to pick up some cake later. I.

[Crushette Dungan]

Some cake or what does that mean, picking up? So, like, part of a cake?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, Jack Fur's parents were gunned down by a drunk driver on this day.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wait, wait. A drunk driver? Driver parked the car and then gunned down Jack versus Paris. He's never talked about this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I mean, it's a painful memory. And they were at a cake party, and so. At a.

[Crushette Dungan]

A cake party?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, they were at a party where. I'm sure you bring your cake.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Crushette. You've probably.

[Tony Hale]

I love a cake pot. She.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, she loves potluck.

[Scott Aukerman]

And everybody was having a good time, and it's a really fun.

[Crushette Dungan]

And then a drunk driver drove there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Drunk driver drove there. Wasted. Just shooting all over the place. And unfortunately, Jack lost his parents and it was really rough for him. And this wasn't one of the first of many tragedies in his life. And, you know, I feel for the guy, so I drop off a little bit of cake at this site annually.

[Crushette Dungan]

I see. So what was the site? This was a party where.

[Night Wolf]

It's a party.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it was a party venue.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Party venue.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it was a party venue. Someone rented it out.

[Tony Hale]

It's kind of like an Airbnb.

[Scott Aukerman]

I believe this was pre Airbnb, but it is being Used for an Airbnb. Now, if you do want to rent it.

[Crushette Dungan]

I see.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's a beautiful thing.

[Crushette Dungan]

So you're going to drop off some.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cakes to this Airbnb? I kind of put some on the ground in front of there.

[Night Wolf]

Does he like a certain type of cake?

[Scott Aukerman]

I try to get whatever looks good on the day. These bakeries, I mean, you go in for the cake they're known for, and it turns out they kind of go through the motions on it.

[Tony Hale]

Triple berry or something?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, this place is famous for triple berry. And they're just cranking that out.

[Crushette Dungan]

Right. So you want the specials, you want something.

[Scott Aukerman]

Putting a little heart.

[Crushette Dungan]

You really thought a lot about this.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's, I think, a lot of things through, Scott.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

How I've gotten where I am.

[Crushette Dungan]

How many cases have you solved over the years? Yeah, you've been out there now for years. Jack has been telling us about a.

[Scott Aukerman]

Lot of close calls. A lot of close calls. Those are the ones that you remember. I don't remember all the victories. I don't remember all the songs. The ones that really haunt you are the ones that you miss. I mean, that's how I got into this game. Scott.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. How did you start?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I was.

[Crushette Dungan]

Because we've heard about Jack Furze and his drunk driver who took a submachine gun to his parents. But how did you start dark?

[Tony Hale]

What's your origin?

[Scott Aukerman]

I was leaving.

[Night Wolf]

Is that one of your life questions.

[Tony Hale]

In your team building?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, that's nice.

[Scott Aukerman]

God, it feels good to be. I feel like I'm part of a team.

[Night Wolf]

It feels great, man. This case closed.

[Tony Hale]

Please.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm a pack with payback and vengeance, but it's not the same now that payback's home.

[Crushette Dungan]

So it feels he's in the wolf stand, which is what, coincidentally, Hitler's bunker is called.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've heard enough about it. Okay, that just is a weird coincidence.

[Crushette Dungan]

Weird coincidence.

[Scott Aukerman]

I didn't know when I named it.

[Tony Hale]

Wolves run in packs, which would makes way more sense for my website than.

[Crushette Dungan]

Raccoons, I was gonna say. Yeah, it's a better metaphor.

[Night Wolf]

It's a lot of work to change your logo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, and I don't want to show show vengeance the pictures of the raccoons.

[Crushette Dungan]

That is gonna get him, set him off, riled up. Yeah. So, anyway, tell us about how you started in the whole vigilante business.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I was leaving a very nice restaurant as a young man. I was a child, and I bumped into one of my favorite actors, O.J. simpson.

[Crushette Dungan]

He's been on this show before. Yeah. I loved his acting. I didn't really keep up with him post 92 or so.

[Scott Aukerman]

This was 90, this 94. This was right around there. And I bump into him and I stopped him and he seemed like he was in a real hurry and I stopped him because I love those Naked Gun films.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Which one's your favorite? Do you mind?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Two, two and a half. The Smell of fear is so good.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's funny that it wasn't two number. It was two and a half. It was funny. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And so this was right around when 33 and a third came out. And I was really excited to see it. Yeah. And I bump into him and he, he's dying to get away from me, but he takes the time to talk to me. And then I find out this is a restaurant. This was a beautiful restaurant in Beverly Hills.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, it wasn't Brentwood.

[Scott Aukerman]

Brentwood. Excuse me. Yes.

[Night Wolf]

You never seem to know the names of these places. Is that just kind of a thing?

[Tony Hale]

Are you leaving it secret so we don't know?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I don't want people tracking me down.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. You're looking through receipts, I would imagine. The restaurant probably has the receipts from that era.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've gotten better about. About it since this day. At the time, I was. What did it matter?

[Crushette Dungan]

You're a young child.

[Scott Aukerman]

I was a young child being at.

[Crushette Dungan]

A very fancy restaurant in Brentwood.

[Scott Aukerman]

God, if only I wouldn't have stopped him. Maybe he could have stopped. It turns out there was a murder that happened that night. I don't know if you heard about this.

[Crushette Dungan]

I haven't heard about this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

You haven't?

[Crushette Dungan]

I haven't, no. I mean, I, I stopped really paying attention to OJ Senior Simpson after his.

[Scott Aukerman]

Football career, after he played with the bills in the 70s. Yeah. It turns out his ex wife and a waiter were killed. And I feel like had I not stopped him that day, maybe he could have stopped the crime.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

So that, that's what instilled this love for vigilante justice.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

And it's, it's close. There's a lot of close calls. And. And sometimes your patrols are a little bit late and sometimes you try to get ahead of it. You miss it.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's really difficult, Scott.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow. It's hard.

[Tony Hale]

If you wrote a book, it would be called Close Calls.

[Scott Aukerman]

God, yes. That's a great name. It would be called Close Calls.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. I'm looking on your Instagram right now and there's a lot of pictures of you and O.J. is that still.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Do you guys still have a really. Even knowing this, you still have a really good friend. Friendship.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, he. For. He's a. He's good at forgiving, and he's kind of forgiven me for. For stopping.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's so nice. He's. I mean, he always was a really compassionate guy. You could tell in all this.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's one of the few people that knows my secret identity. Oh, no. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Do you want to. What is your we. People have been speculating about your secret identity. Jack Furze is baffled by this. He. He has no idea who you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Even a bright guy like Jack Furze can't figure it out. I don't think anybody will. And I'd like to keep it that way for the safety of me and my loved ones.

[Crushette Dungan]

Who are your loved ones? Do you mind us asking?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I'm dating again. Thanks.

[Crushette Dungan]

This is huge news. Night Wolf.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

You're dating again.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Night Wolf]

Who are you dating? The pictures.

[Crushette Dungan]

O.J.

[Night Wolf]

Is that, like. Is there a connection here?

[Scott Aukerman]

O.J. is Tony no longer with us? RIP. But.

[Night Wolf]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

He's really in the moment.

[Scott Aukerman]

But I'm sure people come up here on this show and talk about the influence of the Simpsons all the time, and I'm one of those. Those people. The Simpsons was huge influence on me.

[Crushette Dungan]

The Simpsons already did it. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

But, yeah, no, I'm dating. And it's. It's great.

[Crushette Dungan]

That's wonderful. Where did you meet this person?

[Scott Aukerman]

I. I saved her.

[Tony Hale]

Oh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah. So it's. It's a. A. A kind of weird situation. She doesn't know my secret identity.

[Crushette Dungan]

So she's only dated you as the Night Wolf.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay. So. And you're wearing a ski mask that covers your lips. Lips. How do you become physical with. With this person?

[Night Wolf]

That's a very personal question.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, I mean, this is an informational podcast, and that is information.

[Tony Hale]

Wait, let me mediate for a second. Are you feeling comfortable with that question?

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you so much. Yeah. Things are getting very personal, and I don't want to reveal her secret identity too much.

[Crushette Dungan]

She has a secret identity?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, her actual. Her identity, I guess. I get so caught up, and it is a secret.

[Tony Hale]

Wait, is this her on your Instagram?

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, yeah, that's her.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Whoops.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, boy.

[Night Wolf]

That's a public.

[Scott Aukerman]

When you're in love, you just start doing crazy things. And we are. Yes. We don't kiss in the traditional way. With lips. Skin to Skin contact. But there are other forms of physical love that you can take. And telepathic, and we explore those. Telepolaptic. Yes, absolutely.

[Night Wolf]

Wow. Is that a new word for you?

[Tony Hale]

Me?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

No, I think it sounds like you've used it several times.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, that's a big word for my brand.

[Night Wolf]

You're absolutely right.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow. So, I mean, this. I mean. Yeah. You've even tagged her.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've tagged her a few times, yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And I shouldn't do that, probably, but.

[Tony Hale]

It looks like friends on here, so. But we know it's more serious.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wait, this one. This one says three weeks together.

[Scott Aukerman]

She likes to say, you know, we're just friends now, and she tries to play up this ruse.

[Crushette Dungan]

You hashtag love of my life, hashtag we're going to be together forever. Oh, does she know? I mean, you've tagged her on this. She. She must know.

[Scott Aukerman]

She doesn't use. She does have an account, but she doesn't really use Instagram.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah, let me click on her account. Oh, it's. It's. It's private and has no pictures.

[Night Wolf]

Oh.

[Scott Aukerman]

She uses it more just to. To log on to things and.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, it's like an intermediary. To log on. Like, it's her homepage.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. It's her home. I mean, just put down a website. She puts that on.

[Night Wolf]

When was the last time you saw her?

[Scott Aukerman]

God, I haven't seen her since she got caught. She's. She deactivates bombs and kind of explosive weaponry.

[Night Wolf]

Oh.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh. What an interesting job.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, really interesting. High stress. Yes. And I keep. I keep attracting these women with these risky jobs.

[Crushette Dungan]

You saved her. Yeah. But from what, a bomb? Or from broken elevator? Oh, yeah. Oh, it was broken. In what ways?

[Tony Hale]

Suspended.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was suspended. Yeah. And so I got her out of there.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, so you. You got her out of the elevator and. And romance kind of bloomed. Even though she says you're just friends, but you are treating her on your Instagram like you've been together for a while.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm reading between the lines of your Scott. It seems like you don't believe in our relationship or think I'm.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm supportive, no judgment.

[Scott Aukerman]

It just doesn't seem like I'm stalking her. Listen.

[Crushette Dungan]

No, I wouldn't use that word.

[Night Wolf]

Would you say tagging is probably the only intimacy you've had? Like, when you tag her on Instagram? Have you guys ever, like, talk?

[Scott Aukerman]

What are we, in high school? Do I have to tell you guys that we've done it?

[Night Wolf]

No, I'm not saying that. But come on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Team speak.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Have you ever had a conversation with her?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, we've had conversations.

[Tony Hale]

Are these photoshopped pictures?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, I clean them up a little bit for everybody's benefit.

[Crushette Dungan]

I'm sure anyone who looks at it needs a clean picture. Yeah.

[Night Wolf]

Wow. The OJ ones look pretty cleaned up too.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, I'm no Jack Furze, okay? I. I can't take great photos. I'm trying the best I can here.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, where no one is a Jack first.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I mean, the guy's incredible. Would somebody hire this guy?

[Night Wolf]

It sounds like you want to date Jack. Fur.

[Scott Aukerman]

Platonic. You're making everything sexual, Tony.

[Crushette Dungan]

Two wolf owners, they can bond over.

[Night Wolf]

Owning wolves, but just a really strong friendship.

[Crushette Dungan]

Don't you have the wolfmobile? You share a very similar vehicle as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. The wolf mobile. Be. And no, I'm not a. Just a huge fan of Dumb and Dumber. It is a van. With.

[Crushette Dungan]

How big of a fan of Dumb and Dumber would you say you are if you're not huge?

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, I've seen the movie how many times? Several. I mean, it was a popular sleepover film for me.

[Crushette Dungan]

So how. If you had to estimate or even guesstimate.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ge. If I'm doing a guesstimate. Oh, six time.

[Crushette Dungan]

Six times.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

The old wolfmobile crash. Now I'm dealing with a van. We put some fur on there to kind of wolf it up and.

[Night Wolf]

Wow.

[Crushette Dungan]

Very similar to Jack Furze vehicle as well. That he.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ya and I both got into car accidents and both replaced our cars with vans. They come in handy for him for his camera equipment. For me, for my wolf fangs and wolf. My smoke bombs and flashbangs.

[Night Wolf]

Flashbangs?

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot that goes into your work. I mean, and it's expensive. The upkeep.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's really expensive to be your friendly neighborhood howlslinger.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Do you. Can I ask you a question? Do you think coyotes have gotten a bad rap?

[Scott Aukerman]

I do.

[Crushette Dungan]

In what way do you think they've gotten.

[Night Wolf]

Well, I feel like they. And everybody's got dogs. Dogs. But then coyote's like, oh, coyote. But you wonder if they're just a dog that got a bad rap and.

[Scott Aukerman]

We should be more forgiving. You know, if a coyote eats your dog, aren't they just being a coyote? Like, if a wolf ate a dog, like, why should we try to get him thrown out of a building and.

[Crushette Dungan]

Thrown out of a building. Oh, meaning an apartment building?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh. If he's in there, I. I Thought you meant, like, off the top of a building.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, no. Good God, no. Good luck trying to throw payback off a building.

[Crushette Dungan]

I. It just seems like. Yeah. The punishment is not commensurate with the crime.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. It's. Why. Why did you call him Payback?

[Scott Aukerman]

Payback. You know, I'm kind of giving back.

[Crushette Dungan]

I. Oh, I see.

[Tony Hale]

So it's so like pay it forward.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, it's like pay it forward. God. Great movie.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Starring our friend, the Handjob Man.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Handjob man.

[Crushette Dungan]

H.J. hayley. Joel.

[Night Wolf]

Oh.

[Crushette Dungan]

Is our good friend.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Shout out to him. He may be listening. Hope everything's good for you out there. And I mean. Yeah. So you're just, like, paying it forward.

[Scott Aukerman]

And I was working briefly with a fellow vigilante named Hand Job Boy, and I couldn't convince this kid to change his name. I had to stop working with him because people were getting the wrong idea.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, but incredible.

[Crushette Dungan]

Was he just good with his hands?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. Incredible skill set.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. That's bad branding. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Really bad brand. But when you think about it, I mean, people good with guns, people good with knives. I'm good with wolf and ranks. But if you're good with your hands.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You can get out.

[Tony Hale]

Really good at the egg drop exercise.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I bet you would.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Do you want to. Do you have.

[Scott Aukerman]

I have. I have several legs.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, my God. I love. Okay.

[Night Wolf]

He has a lot of eggs.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, my God.

[Tony Hale]

This is so great for our building.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Can we. Can. Can we do an egg drop here with them?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

All right. All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've got these kids that keep begging me, and I'm finally, you know, going to fight fire with fire.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, got it. Yeah. Oh, and all right, I'm going to wrap this egg up in fur. Fur. Yeah. Some of the fur off here and little cinch. Okay, great. And I'm going to drop it from how big? How. What height do you want me to drop it from?

[Tony Hale]

15 stories.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, I. I don't believe we're near.

[Tony Hale]

A 50 story or two stories.

[Crushette Dungan]

How about a little. How about just from, like, the top of my head down to. Is that okay?

[Tony Hale]

Six foot five?

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay. Yeah, well, sure. Six foot five. I'll hold it above my head. I'm gonna drop this egg, and we're gonna see what happens.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right. Yeah. Go, Scott. That was a smoke, Bob. Oh, God.

[Crushette Dungan]

Oh, Jack.

[Tony Hale]

Oh, night wolf, my eye.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, God. Is Jack here? Is that why you said his name?

[Crushette Dungan]

For some reason, I have no idea why I cried out Jack when I meant to be admonishing you, Nightwall.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is the first time I've accidentally set off a smoke bomb. The pain will pass. You actually build up a tolerance to it. It's actually good to get the tears out.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay, I'll try to cry through it. Well, Nightwolf, thank you so much for coming by.

[Night Wolf]

That was. What a journey you've had.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. But you're mainly here to plug. Well, we'll get to plugs here in a second.

[Crushette Dungan]

Thank you so much.

[Tony Hale]

Yeah, we're here.

[Crushette Dungan]

I didn't get defensive, right? No, I didn't tell you. You were wrong.

[Tony Hale]

No, it was amazing.

[Night Wolf]

Oh, thank you, Chrishette.

[Tony Hale]

I would love to plug.

[Crushette Dungan]

Everything all right here. Do you need to.

[Night Wolf]

I don't know. I don't want to get.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's probably the smoke bomb. Yeah, drink. That's not water, but. Yeah, drink.

[Crushette Dungan]

Is that a professional smoke bomb? Because it seemed handmade.

[Night Wolf]

Yeah. Is that your wolfarang?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, this is my wolfarang in my hand. Yeah, I'm just kind of keeping it around in case anybody comes at me.

[Crushette Dungan]

It's a boomerang in the shape of a. A wolf. Does that fly back to you or to.

[Tony Hale]

Right.

[Scott Aukerman]

It goes straight out. It does not come back.

[Crushette Dungan]

Got it. The orang part.

[Night Wolf]

Like a gun.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. It kind of works like a gun. It should. Yes. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

But not as fast.

[Scott Aukerman]

Not as fast. I. Some have called it a slow gun.

[Crushette Dungan]

But it's a. It's a wolf rang.

[Scott Aukerman]

Obviously it does. It does its job.

[Tony Hale]

There's plenty of time to get away from it if you're paying attention.

[Scott Aukerman]

Guns are too.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Chrishette, what do you want to plug?

[Tony Hale]

I would love to plug a movie coming out this summer called don't tell Larry. Don't tell Larry in theaters June 20th.

[Crushette Dungan]

June 20th. Who else or who was in this film?

[Tony Hale]

Someone named Patty Guggenheim and somebody named Kyle Kennedy and Ed Begley junior. Kenneth Mosley, Dot Mer. Son of Ed Begley. Yes. Ed Begley's the son of Ed Begley. Yeah, he's the junior and he's. And what is this film this is about? It's a workplace, and there's a guy named Larry who's, like, weird and, like. And Susan, the main worker there, doesn't want to invite him to a party. And then it just unravels and it gets really fun and dark and weird and genre bending and.

[Crushette Dungan]

What's it called again? It sounds like you're sobering up, by the way.

[Tony Hale]

No, no, no. Just when I talk about that, I get. Well, I just snuck a few flights, so they're gonna take a minute to catch up. It's called don't tell Larry.

[Crushette Dungan]

Don't tell Larry. And it comes out in June.

[Crushette Dungan]

You have your own show to worry about now. You remember all those, right?

[Night Wolf]

Y. Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

You've mentioned two guests.

[Night Wolf]

One, we have a slackliner and a pun champion and a guy who puts toothpicks in his beard. And I Think he put up to like 600 toothpicks and it was fascinating.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wow. Did he do it in front of you for you or.

[Night Wolf]

No, no, but he showed us pictures. Yay.

[Crushette Dungan]

Wait, have we had him on yet?

[Night Wolf]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

So wait, the toothpick person.

[Scott Aukerman]

The memory thing worries me, Tony. Yeah, we mentioned, by the way, someone is doing something.

[Night Wolf]

No, no, no, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

There's some nefarious deeds at work.

[Crushette Dungan]

Someone akin to the ringmaster hypnotizing you every night or something?

[Night Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Smell like the ringman.

[Tony Hale]

Can anything be in the Guinness Book of World Records if you do it the most?

[Crushette Dungan]

I think so, yeah.

[Night Wolf]

There's a whole, like, committee that decides.

[Crushette Dungan]

Well, Fred Guinness is ultimately in charge.

[Night Wolf]

That's true.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. So he's in Ireland, though.

[Tony Hale]

So why do you have the most built team?

[Crushette Dungan]

The most built team. So like, number of participants or just what's the biggest team?

[Tony Hale]

Maybe the longest. Longest egg drop.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yes.

[Tony Hale]

Or the longest distant egg on spoon.

[Crushette Dungan]

I actually think those probably would be in there. The highest. The highest egg drop. Okay, let us know because I can put you in touch with Fred if you want.

[Tony Hale]

I would love that contact thing you.

[Scott Aukerman]

You gotta get Largest team built.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Or just most team built.

[Scott Aukerman]

[Crushette Dungan]

Built team, yeah. So the amount of how built they are would be in there. Yeah. Jack. I mean, Nightwolf. I don't know why I keep calling you Jack. I don't know either, but good luck to him, certainly.

[Scott Aukerman]

I really hope if somebody reaches out to Jack and gets him a job, the guy's really, really struggling.

[Crushette Dungan]

Okay.

[Night Wolf]

Why.

[Crushette Dungan]

Can I ask you. I'm saying goodbye to you now. Why are you reaching into your. Is that a merse.

A man bag.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Crushette Dungan]

Yeah. Why are you reaching into this right now? Just cuz we're saying goodbye. What do. What do you have in there?

[Night Wolf]

Oh, my. Is that another diamond necklace? Are you giving that to us?

[Crushette Dungan]

I think. Did you mean to reach in there for a smoke bomb and you pulled out a different diamond necklace?

[Scott Aukerman]

I did.

[Crushette Dungan]

You threw the diamond necklace on the ground.

[Scott Aukerman]

Shit. Okay, let me just get this back and everybody look over there for a second.
