Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. That was a catchphrase submission from Wool the Clown. Thank you to Wool the Clown for that catchphrase submission. I don't know. I don't like it. It was too hard to say. Now the hunt continues. The hunt continues, but this show will also continue. And I'm so happy you're listening to it. My name is Scott Akerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have an exceptional show. A little bit later, we have a grief counselor and we also have an. An animal. I wonder if it's animal from the Muppet Show.
Nick Kroll
I love animal.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, you have an animal energy about you.
Nick Kroll
Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no, I meant, I meant Godzilla. No, Manzukas has a gonzo energy.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe because of the hair.
Nick Kroll
Sure, there's a lot of hair there.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
But I have a different animal.
Scott Aukerman
No, you, you have an animal energy about you. Do, do I have a doctor teeth energy about me? I'm just cool.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, you are. Yeah. Honestly, that's. Think that's a good comp for you.
Scott Aukerman
People say I'm Kermit, but I, I, I take offense because he's such an uptight little.
Nick Kroll
You're Kermit. Presenting. But in reality, you're. You're doctor. You're doctor.
Scott Aukerman
I'm doctor Teeth.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, yeah, I know. You're doctor Tooth.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, just one tooth.
Nick Kroll
Just one tooth.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Nick Kroll
So have you watched the Muppets movie? Have you showed. Have you showed.
Scott Aukerman
Have I watched the Muppets movie?
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Have you ever seen it? I got to see it.
Scott Aukerman
You. This is another conversation. We don't have time to do a Nick hasn't seen episode here, but let's do that. Ye. Let me welcome our guest of honor. Eight years ago, a show burst onto the scene on a little platform called Netflix that up till then had just been sending DVDs in the mail to people.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And then this show burst onto the scene and has completed eight incredible seasons. It is concluding its run, and what better way to celebrate it than coming on this show with a guy who's never seen it hosting it, and none of the writers nor cast would show up to celebrate.
Nick Kroll
Burned. I burned so many creative bridges in the process of making this show. And to be here with you. Someone who's never seen the show, someone.
Scott Aukerman
Who was drawn on the show.
Nick Kroll
Someone who believes that he was drawn on the show, won't accept Paula Tonkins and.
Scott Aukerman
I were drawn on the show and we're not allowed to voice the characters, apparently.
Nick Kroll
And specifically not allowed to. Not even. Not cast, but not allowed to. That was the one stipulation. But still, someone who looks a lot like David Caruso while Paul F. Looks like Dennis Arena. Compliments Dennis Farina. Worse.
Scott Aukerman
In any case, Big Mouth is wrapping up its run here on Netflix. He is here to celebrate it. He is making his 48th appearance on Comedy Bang Bang.
Nick Kroll
Is that for real?
Scott Aukerman
That is for real. That is an average of three a year.
Nick Kroll
That's fucking. That's what I'm talking about.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Nick Kroll
Keep it. The original 48. Who needs.
Scott Aukerman
Who needs the. The.
Nick Kroll
Who needs Hawaii and. And fucking Canada, you know?
Scott Aukerman
You think Canada is the 50th, right?
Nick Kroll
I got it. Right.
Scott Aukerman
But big mouth season eight is up now. His show that he's producing, adults, is out this week, I believe. And then his film, I Don't understand you'd comes out June 6th. Please welcome back for his 48th appearance, Nick Kroll.
Nick Kroll
Thank you so much for having. Thanks, guys. Thank you guys so much. Thanks for having me. 48th appearance. That's crazy.
Scott Aukerman
Isn't it? Amazing. And, you know, they must have been in the early years because you.
Nick Kroll
It's been a little less frequent, a little sparse. I go, hey, I'd love to come in and do a deep dive on Big Mouth. And then Scott's like, yeah, you know, we still been so busy at the show.
Scott Aukerman
Well, I mean, to be fair, fair, this. This was rescheduled three times and some of the guests that I originally had could no longer make it.
Nick Kroll
No, no, I. I feel like right now you mentioned those three things. Very incredibly blessed to have all of them coming at once. And I made you reschedule me, and I am so grateful.
Scott Aukerman
But you're here now. But I'm here in the hot seat.
Nick Kroll
I'm in the late. It's late afternoon versus the morning after the premiere. And. And I'm.
Scott Aukerman
The premiere of Adults we should mention. Which comes out this week.
Nick Kroll
Yes. Which I'm very excited about.
Scott Aukerman
And would it surprise you to learn that I've seen two episodes.
Nick Kroll
There you go.
Scott Aukerman
I do my research on this show. Other than watching Big Mouth at this point. It's like though you have. Let's go through the stats because these were sent to me by Netflix. What do we have? We have 81 episodes of Big Mouth.
Nick Kroll
Big Mouth, 20 episodes of Human Resources, which of course, as you know intimately. The spin off. You were of course, major hr.
Scott Aukerman
All those characters from Big Mouth out there all over on Human Resources.
Nick Kroll
You get it? The cops that are based on you and Paul f. Have a 12 episode. They're only series regulars on the show.
Scott Aukerman
Seasons one through seven have included 71 episodes, nearly 2,000 minutes of awkwardness. Okay. That resulted in over 50 Emmy nominations. This show's been nominated for Emmys.
Nick Kroll
I. And you know what the great part is? I personally have never had to deal with that.
Scott Aukerman
In what. In what way? You've never been nominated.
Nick Kroll
I've never been.
Scott Aukerman
So these are all Emmys that are not for the show. Like, because you. Because as a producer or. And not for you, I guess.
Nick Kroll
No, it's for the. The show itself, I guess. I was nominated as a. As a creator.
Scott Aukerman
Didn't it win one for show?
Nick Kroll
It's one. A couple.
Scott Aukerman
One Outstanding Animated Program, according to this email I received.
Nick Kroll
Well, there you go. So I don't know if that's true. I don't think that's true.
Scott Aukerman
Sorry. This series brought home Netflix's first Emmy nomination for outstanding Program.
Nick Kroll
There you go. That's what they're looking for. To just bring the. The taste of it that close to an early Netflix. You know, we were. It was a DVD business and then. Yeah. And of course it was. It was us and Lily Hammer. It was an animation. It was A. It was all of dvd. And then they saw all the children masturbating, and they realized they couldn't send it over state lines.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly.
Nick Kroll
And so it had. That's. And that's how it started.
Scott Aukerman
So people could watch your show and masturbate at home.
Nick Kroll
Dream.
Scott Aukerman
Maya Rudolph, who I'm reading is on this show, won four Emmys for this.
Nick Kroll
Yes. She's won four Emmys.
Scott Aukerman
This has, like, been a. A real.
Nick Kroll
A real boondoggle for her.
Scott Aukerman
Really?
Nick Kroll
No.
Scott Aukerman
Can you imagine how many Emmys I would have won if I had voiced this policeman character?
Nick Kroll
God. I mean, I don't know how you. I guess they would give you and Paul the Emmys for, like, the first.
Scott Aukerman
Best duo.
Nick Kroll
Best duo. The artist who drew you guys has won multiple Emmys for his. For his adaptation.
Scott Aukerman
I would expect nothing less.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Yeah. David Caruso himself has now won several Memmys across its eight seasons.
Scott Aukerman
222 guest stars lent their voices. Wow. They could have made that 224. Nick Kroll has voiced 81 characters, and that's as many episodes as exist.
Nick Kroll
That's. We have one. One voice. Just one. One line per episode.
Scott Aukerman
Hi.
Bait Turfoil
Hi.
Scott Aukerman
Does anyone need penis enlargement surgery?
Nick Kroll
Okay. Sorry. But you've booked it. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
I think the show's over. The show also featured 74 original songs.
Nick Kroll
Mark Rivers. You know Mark Rivers?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Mark worked with. Many times.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
It's your show. The rest.
Nick Kroll
Mark Rivers has written almost every single one of the songs in the show.
Scott Aukerman
That's. Who wrote the other ones?
Nick Kroll
Lin Manuel Miranda. I don't know if you've heard of him. Huh. Unsuccess. I would call him a unsuccess.
Scott Aukerman
He's no Mark Rivers. I mean, I love Lynn.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
There's no Mark River.
Nick Kroll
That's what I say when I'm talking to either of them. And then. Oh, a couple songs in the international episode. And then, let's see. Yeah. Indian writer, performer, wrote a song. And then we. I guess Mark wrote Megan the Stallion. We had Megan thee Stallion do the show. And. And she did a song that Mark wrote for her.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. Incredible. I always thought Mark would write a Megan the Stallion song when he was a young man living in seasons one through seven. Each generated over 156 million social impressions. That's a lot of social impressions.
Nick Kroll
The thing I'm most proud of about the show is the social impressions. I don't do, like, rich little impressions, but I do social impressions are just.
Scott Aukerman
Impressions of your friends. Yeah.
Nick Kroll
That. I've created a bot farm that Allows the Netflix to believe that there's been social impressions.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, good. Yeah. That's your real business, the bot farm.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
You kind. You were very instrumental in the election this year.
Nick Kroll
Both of them.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Fantastic.
Nick Kroll
Both of them very happy with the outcome.
Scott Aukerman
And from what I'm reading, the season eight premiere campaign has already racked up 24 million-plus global impressions, fueled by trailers, viral clips, original songs and fan first activations.
Nick Kroll
Where, you know, the thing I'm beyond the social impressions is the fan first activations that I. But we did actually send a van around the country with Maury and Connie or the hormone monsters. I could explain what the hormone monsters are to you. It might be helpful.
Scott Aukerman
Just keep going.
Nick Kroll
I can't believe someone listening to like episode 15,000 of Comedy Bang run back. I can't. I've never heard about this show, Big Mouth. This has been so informative.
Scott Aukerman
No, it's, it's important you're here because people, you know, people can get really into a first, the first couple of seasons of a show and then just kind of forget it's on and go like, oh, is that, you know. But it's important you've come back. To your credit. You have come back, I believe, every year to promote this show. I, And I thank you very much.
Nick Kroll
I love, I genuinely love this show and I love Big Mouth. I'm always happy to talk about it.
Scott Aukerman
Which do you like better, this show or Big Mouth?
Nick Kroll
As far as the money that's been made for me personally, Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang.
Scott Aukerman
You got.
Nick Kroll
By the way, you're looking at, you're looking at IFC residuals from the show.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, they stopped paying residuals, I think because it's all on the AMC plus platform, which I love. Yeah. No longer airing on IFC apparently, because I haven't seen a residual in many a year.
Nick Kroll
Well, but the streaming residuals are killer these days.
Scott Aukerman
That's what we struck for.
Nick Kroll
That's what we. So no, I, I love talking about the show and I do think, I really am. I do believe we have ended the show. Like, I, I firmly believe, like we did a good job of landing the plane successfully for what the show was and where it ends up. Like, I think it will be a gratifying.
Scott Aukerman
I've read a little bit about the final episode and I think that the premise of it is indeed something that I think is, would, Would satisfy fans of the show.
Nick Kroll
Right. For those who, you know, you've read ahead. But like, but for. I can explain. It's like the guy all the kids go on trial and they're in court and everybody. For the show.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
You know, the guest stars all come in and.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, exactly. And they all come in. All the previous guest stars from all the. All 222 guest stars and all 81 of your characters come in and testify.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
It's about a 15 hour episode and it's just a flashback episode.
Nick Kroll
It was. I was hard.
Scott Aukerman
All the kids end up in jail at the end.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. It's just harder to animate, but ultimately gratifying.
Scott Aukerman
Very worthwhile.
Nick Kroll
All the kids ended up in jail.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. And you've been animated, animating by hand for.
Nick Kroll
I've been self drawing. Yeah. I write by. I do it all by hand. Yeah. It's all on a legal pad. Do all the animation illegal.
Scott Aukerman
And how do they erase the lines on the legal pack? Because I've always had these, these questions.
Bait Turfoil
I don't know.
Nick Kroll
I'm not, I'm not the techie guy. I just do. I do my thing. I studied it. I studied under Walt.
Scott Aukerman
How many drawings would you. How many drawings would you say you have drawn across all eight?
Nick Kroll
Oh, how many drawings have I drawn? Let's see. Each show is at least 12 frames. So you know who has drawn a lot of drawings while we are in the room is Gil Ozeri.
Scott Aukerman
I've never met. You've never met him, but interesting guy from what I understand.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, I, you know, he, he, some. He's friends with this guy who's the busiest man in the world.
Scott Aukerman
Ned Bellanella.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Yeah. And probably 800 other.
Scott Aukerman
I didn't know that they knew each other.
Nick Kroll
Yes, they know each other.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, okay.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Yeah. Ed can never get back to Gil because he's got too much going on.
Scott Aukerman
Right, of course.
Nick Kroll
But Gil Ozeri, one of our writers for all eight seasons and does voice on the show, drew some of the most disturbing images in the writers room throughout that process. And it was a really fun. It was a fun time.
Scott Aukerman
That's a glimpse behind the scenes.
Nick Kroll
And this is the kind of tidbit.
Scott Aukerman
You allow your writers to draw and like around we.
Nick Kroll
It's just a. It's a sandbox.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. You know, dream job.
Nick Kroll
It's a kitty litter.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. I would love to like, you know, if I had a regular job, like as a plumber or whatever. Yeah. Just sitting around in someone's bathroom drawing.
Nick Kroll
Just drawing. Using your own feces to draw the walls, your own feet. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Your own. Why not?
Nick Kroll
This guy's Patty. Patty Harrison also drew some real special images throughout the run of the show.
Scott Aukerman
Did you keep these or did they.
Nick Kroll
Keep these or they're gonna be auctioned off here on the comedy bang Bang website.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Nick Kroll
Silent auction.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. How do we do a silent auction?
Nick Kroll
You go to my Venmo. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
You just whatever you.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Send you.
Nick Kroll
That's what check out at hot Doggin.
Scott Aukerman
And why did you reserve that so long ago? Because I remember when I first met you back in like 2006. When did you move to L. A?
Nick Kroll
I was. I moved in 2007, but I came probably to do like death ray and bang bang early. Probably like 2005, 2006. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
But you were always like, hey, if I ever get a Venmo account. Yeah, I'm going to be hot dog.
Nick Kroll
I was. I was not on the PayPal mafia, but I was adjacent. So that when Venmo popped, I hit. Yes, I was adjacent. Man. Sukhas.
Scott Aukerman
That's a previous guest on the show, by the way. No, he's a chef who lives next door.
Nick Kroll
Sure. Originally portrayed by Jeffrey. Character readings. Yes, of course. So this was the PayPal mafia at this point. Just a PayPal mob. Not. Not a full.
Scott Aukerman
Not a full mafia. Yeah. And there were immigrants.
Nick Kroll
Yes. And I had been a fan. I. Me and Elon had been huge fans of the movie Hot dog, which is how the movie. Yeah, Hot dog the movie. Because Elon sort of sees the world as like a ski. As like a resort.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. A ski resort. Like a hot 80s sex comedy ski resort.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Like a black diamond. Someone's gonna go down in the last act.
Nick Kroll
Black diamond tits in the. In the. In the hot tub kind of vibe. And so that's an out cold kind of. Yes. Ski school, remember? With the guys from School 2?
Scott Aukerman
With Bill Dwyer.
Nick Kroll
Of course. Who could forget Bill Dwyer's star turn in Ski School 2?
Scott Aukerman
Never lets you forget it.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. One of the Carradine brothers, Keith.
Scott Aukerman
David.
Nick Kroll
David. But I might be confusing this. And I am with Revenge of the Nerds.
Scott Aukerman
Yes.
Nick Kroll
Right.
Scott Aukerman
Well, he. He definitely is in Revenge of the Nerds.
Nick Kroll
Yes. He's not in this other one. It's these other guys that are like those guys, but they're not.
Scott Aukerman
Got it.
Nick Kroll
Anyway, that's how I got down memory lane at hot dogging on Venmo. Check me out, hit me up, send me cash.
Scott Aukerman
So now you and I have known each other for a good two decades. Wow. And you were on the comedy Bang Bang television show many times. At least once a year.
Nick Kroll
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
And yet I'm not on this big mouth Show.
Nick Kroll
No, you know what? It was here. And I'll give you the honest reason why I don't. And I think the fans can attest. There's something about the quality of your voice.
Scott Aukerman
I used to hear that when I was working at DreamWorks. Certain people in charge over there used to talk about very stars and go, they don't have a good voice. Really? Yeah.
Nick Kroll
Come on, name names.
Scott Aukerman
No, I don't want to do that. I'll tell you during the break, but Jack Black. No, he. He was.
Nick Kroll
Say his name. Jack Black.
Scott Aukerman
All the Kung Fu Pandas. He loves it.
Nick Kroll
He wanted to do the.
Scott Aukerman
The television show and they never asked him.
Nick Kroll
Oh, he's got the. Really?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, he said that on the TV show, so I'm not telling tales out of school. He would have done it, and they never asked him to do it.
Nick Kroll
What an idiot.
Scott Aukerman
Who?
Nick Kroll
Him.
Scott Aukerman
He should have just shown up.
Nick Kroll
He just should have shown up and taken it. It's his Kung Fu Panda. Those people.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He's playing Kung Fu Panda. Why can't he.
Nick Kroll
Why can't he be Kung Fu Panda?
Scott Aukerman
Exactly. So now big mouth is of course ending and we're giving it a fond farewell here on the show. But Nick is not resting on his laurels. He has the television show Adults, which is coming out on the Effects Channel this week.
Nick Kroll
That is the way you pronounce it.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you, Effects Channel. And I've seen two episodes of this. But I want you to describe to our listeners who were not awarded screeners, as I have. Not to brag.
Nick Kroll
Not a big deal. Still. Still hard copy screeners.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Netflix sent them, which I thought was very strange.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, it's another. Another network.
Scott Aukerman
But tell our listeners exactly what this show is about. How did you get involved and what is it about?
Nick Kroll
I felt myself getting older, and so I tried to like as much as I could be a creative vampire on.
Scott Aukerman
On younger people, like a Drake, but for comedy.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Yes, A culture.
Nick Kroll
Absolutely. A culture. Vulture. Yeah, that's hard to say, but I. But you know what's not hard to say is Vulture. And if you guys are looking for great pop culture news, sure. Go to Vulture for your.
Scott Aukerman
Do they do the Listicles or is that another place that's.
Nick Kroll
They do. That's BuzzFeed.
Scott Aukerman
BuzzFeed. Oh, yeah. From us, our friend's brother.
Nick Kroll
Yes, yes. From our. Originally. From our friend's brother, Dave Musk. Does he have a brother, Elon? Oh, that. He has like 10 brothers.
Scott Aukerman
He probably does. And he's making so many kids.
Nick Kroll
Oh, it's so awesome. Be fruitful and multiply. Elon. Way to go, man. So Adults is a show. Ben Cronigold and Rebecca Shaw created it. Were at the. We started this process like five years ago and they were like 24. They were writers for Fallon, really funny. And they came to me this idea for a show that was sort of like, we want to make a live action big mouth for your twenties. Like about what the awkwardness and horniness and all the stuff of, of that era being your early 20s. What it felt like when. And I and I had very. And was like.
Scott Aukerman
And you were like, great, let's turn into a cartoon today.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it as a cartoon. I've got the deal. Yeah, we'll put it there. I, I get all the points and it'll be great. We'll do it.
Scott Aukerman
I'll do 81 voices.
Nick Kroll
I'll do 81 voices. They'll be the same voices you've already heard.
Scott Aukerman
222 guest stars.
Nick Kroll
We'll make sure that Aukerman is not allowed to be on it. And that's when they were like, let's do it. When they got that confirmation and no, but it was, it really made sense. And they, and they were kind of like in the great vein of like the friends girls, those kinds of shows of like what is it like to be in your early 20s and it's set like if the kids, if the girls and girls were living in like Brooklyn and Broad City were there in Brooklyn now those kids who are like figuring everything out are. Have to live in like deep Queens. I like someone's house and like so.
Scott Aukerman
It'S the same show but they are just living in a different part of the city.
Nick Kroll
Different part of the city.
Scott Aukerman
And sounds cool that adults out this week.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, don't worry. It's a different part of the city. But it's sort of the idea is that thing of like you have this idea of what your 20s are going to be. You're going to move to New York and then like the reality is you're like living in some, some one of your friend's parents house in deep Queens and you, the city, everything feels so far away.
Scott Aukerman
And it's five people who live together, I believe.
Nick Kroll
Five codependent roommates. Yeah, but it's five friends who live together and, and it really was like they, it's, it's like it's, it's got hopefully the vibe of like what a friends feels like. But it's you know, it's effects, but it's also filthy. It's filthy.
Scott Aukerman
You know, it's disgusting.
Nick Kroll
Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
From the, from the demented mind of Danny DeVito. No, but these characters, they have mouths that are almost potties.
Nick Kroll
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
You know what I mean?
Nick Kroll
I do.
Scott Aukerman
Like, they, they, they don't mind that bathroom type of humor comes out of their mouths.
Nick Kroll
Absolutely.
Scott Aukerman
And they're, they, in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if bathroom materials passed in and out. Yeah. Just in and out.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
These characters are gross.
Nick Kroll
They're. They're gross. They're demented and they're, they're and have it. They're having the time of their life. But it is. No, it's. The cast is incredibly. We found like five young actors. A couple of them had done a couple things, but it's really. They're most of their first things. They're all individually, I think, really funny and.
Scott Aukerman
But collectively it's like a voltron of you and, and, and they're also. Put it. Put them together. They're over a hundred years old.
Nick Kroll
Yes. If you, if you connect.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
If you combine that. And that was the thing. We could either, we could either. The choices. You could either hire Scott. Scott Arkerman to play all five characters.
Scott Aukerman
1, 1 or 520 year olds. You chose the 520 year olds.
Nick Kroll
We chose the 520 year olds.
Scott Aukerman
All right.
Nick Kroll
But they're all. Yeah. Collectively funny. And then they're really funny that I think they have good chemistry together. It's pretty. It gets, the show gets. And I'm really, I'm excited for people to see it.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Coming out this week, a little later in the week. And that comes out on.
Nick Kroll
It comes out on fx and then the next day drops. The next morning drops on Hulu.
Scott Aukerman
On Hulu. We know the pipeline of however this works.
Nick Kroll
This is a savvy audience. They're native to the digital landscape and we meet them where they are.
Scott Aukerman
But now you're working for Netflix on one project and of course we have the other one, the spinoff that I can't remember what it was called. And then you're suddenly working for Disney over here at the Effects Channel. What is that like to straddle both worlds?
Nick Kroll
Well, what I'm trying to get is a sort of a threesome, a throuple, where I am bringing Netflix. Obviously I go back with Netflix. They're my primary.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
But then I invite F X in and then we can have a relationship where we all have an open understanding.
Scott Aukerman
Does Netflix ever get to leave the room and you still continue with Disney.
Nick Kroll
You know what I mean?
Scott Aukerman
Or does Netflix always have to be watching?
Nick Kroll
Like this is what we talk about and when we're in throuples therapy with FX and Netflix Disney, it's because it's. They want to be.
Scott Aukerman
By the way, this is a good adults plotline.
Nick Kroll
Troubles therapy is the ruffles therapy. Are you kidding me? It writes itself. We did it on AI.
Scott Aukerman
Good. Yeah. Oh by the way, we should mention all of your projects are totally AI now.

Scott Aukerman
He was great.
Nick Kroll

Yeah. Got to meet him, his husband and he was on the Comedy Bang TV show a while ago and I think didn't remember it, but he was very funny on it.
Nick Kroll
Who could forget a weird studio in Glendale?
Scott Aukerman
Hey, don't give away our assassination.
Nick Kroll
Right. Sorry. Of course.
Scott Aukerman
What if I still hang out in the halls? Oh my God. Remember this?
Nick Kroll
This. So the guy. I just read this article that. The guy who was like the. As it said, a deadline article. The architect of the Voight Hollywood thing, like the John Void Hollywood thing, has just invested in Hollywood studios. And I was like, what studio? And then I read the articles. Avenue 6 in Van Nuys. Like he has like a half a block fake. The worst New York street I've ever seen. We shot a bunch of like very like low end Crow show sketches in this place. And I was like, oh, I know this place. This place is a fucking joke of a studio.
Scott Aukerman
But hey, they're there now. And that's where we're going to be filming everything.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. I'm so excited. And so I just want to say we're so. We're thrilled to be coming in. And John part of the Void Empire and I and when it comes down To Angelina Jolie or Void. I'm Team Void all the way.

Nick Kroll
Sly who? I don't remember now.
Scott Aukerman
Hey.
Nick Kroll
Oh, wait, it's my brother Frank.
Scott Aukerman
Hey. But is that all we want to say about the film?
Nick Kroll
No, I want to say that the film is a film and not a movie. Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
Good.
Nick Kroll
The film is me and Andrew Randles. We are a married couple, like, going to, on vacation to Italy. We've been trying to adopt a baby together, and we're kind of having it. We're at a crossroads with a lot of our marriage. And then.
Scott Aukerman
Not like the crossroads that, where you play the blues against where Robert Johnson.
Nick Kroll
No, no, no, no, no. Different crossroads.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, good.
Nick Kroll
No, no, no, no. It's, it's Rome and not an old black man deciding whether he's going to follow the devil or.
Scott Aukerman
But you do play the guitar in the film.
Nick Kroll
I play the guitar and I made sure to have a double. I, I, I practiced really hard to make sure that I had a double that would, they would never be able to pan because they always want to pan up. They want to pan up.
Scott Aukerman
They want to do the pan up.
Nick Kroll
They want to do the pan like, oh, look at that finger work. And then they pan up and it's not me. I wanted to make sure we had that.
Scott Aukerman
Yep.
Nick Kroll
So that got done. No, but the film is, it was interesting. I just talked to Mark Marin. I don't know if you know Mark Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Of the WTF podcast, I believe.
Nick Kroll
Wtf.
Scott Aukerman
But did you reschedule that one three times or was that locked in the schedule?
Nick Kroll
That one, that one was planned purposefully.
Scott Aukerman
Purposefully.
Nick Kroll
Purposefully to move, Move you around. He, but he watched the movie and had the longest, not super positive review of it, so.
Scott Aukerman
Sounds the WTF experience.
Nick Kroll
It was. I had a blast. But it was very funny because. But what was interesting about it was that I think people, you go and you think you're watching this one movie, you're watching like kind of a, like a fun romcom with me and Andrew, and then a turn happens and it, it really, it takes a hard turn, right? And it becomes sort of like a.
Scott Aukerman
A different genre or.
Nick Kroll
I, I mean, it's, it continues to be funny, but it takes like a dark turn that's more of like a, A farce. Like a Murdery farce.
Scott Aukerman
Did you say farts or farce?
Nick Kroll
It's a Murdery farts is what I call my farts.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, Good to know. And this is directed by a couple of gentlemen named David Craig and Brian Crano. Yeah.
Nick Kroll
And very funny. It's sort of loosely based on their life trying to adopt a kid.
Scott Aukerman
Did they go to Italy too?
Nick Kroll
And they went to Italy and had a nightmare vacation to Italy. And they sort of combine those experiences.
Scott Aukerman
Is.
Nick Kroll
And yeah, it's. It's. I mean, Randall's is the best. We had a lot of fun together. I think the movie's really funny and. But it is like. It's interesting trying to understand what an audience will expect and you know, in this digital streaming.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah. That you pioneered that.
Nick Kroll
I pioneered. By sending child pornography across day lines.
Scott Aukerman
Well, that's exciting. That comes out on June 6, which is about 10 days away or so. 12 days. 13 days away.

Nick Kroll

Scott Aukerman
Well, this is wonderful. We have to get to our next guest though, and he's a grief counselor and I've never spoken to a counselor who specializes in grief.
Nick Kroll
So this will be enlightening for me as well.
Scott Aukerman
I think so. Yeah. So let's talk to him. Welcome to the show for the first time. Bait Turf Oil.
Bait Turfoil
Hi.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, hi.
Bait Turfoil
How are you? So good. Thanks for having me.
Scott Aukerman
It's great to see you. Hi, I. Bait Bait Turfoil.
Bait Turfoil
Bait Turfoil, yeah.
Scott Aukerman
So nice to meet you. This is Nick Kroll.
Bait Turfoil
Hi, Nick.
Nick Kroll
Hi, Bait, how are you?
Bait Turfoil
I'm so great. So good to see you.
Nick Kroll
Good to see you too.
Scott Aukerman
It's great to meet you. Thank you so much for coming on the show.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, thanks. It's so awesome to be here. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
I'd love to hear about everything about your. I mean, you as a person, certainly, but your job mainly because, I mean, as people, we're all basically the same. I've always said that that's.
Nick Kroll
Oh, you said constantly.
Scott Aukerman
But our only our jobs are different.
Nick Kroll
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
You know what I mean?
Nick Kroll
Yes. Well, I do. I'm. We're. You're comedian I'm comedian.
Scott Aukerman
Totally different type of person than us, so I'd love to talk to you about that.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, I'm not a comedian, but I deal with comedians a lot because a lot of comedians live with grief, and that's where a lot of their comedy comes from.
Scott Aukerman
You know, this reminded me of when I went to the doctor the other day.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And I, I, I talked to the doctor and, And I was like, oh, I'm so sad. I'm so depressed. I can't get over it. And he said, oh, okay. Well, I have a solution for you. I just went to the circus, and I saw this clown, Pagliacci. He's so amazing. Let me give you, you know, you got to go see him. And I was like, but, doctor, I went to the circus and I saw Pagliacci, and he sucked. And then the doctor was like, oh, well, actually, I am Pagliacci patient. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but I just, I wasn't really into your act. He's like, well, come back a second time and I'll give you free tickets. Come back a second time. You like, maybe I had an off night or something like that.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And so then I went back and I was like. And he was still just, like, hacky and lame. I was just. Yeah, I didn't like him.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. Wait, was that you doing comedy?
Scott Aukerman
No, I don't think so.
Nick Kroll
I thought this was a joke. Joke that was gonna end. I, I have a joke. The first joke I ever told. Do you mind, Spade, if I tell.
Scott Aukerman
This joke you ever told? No. How old were you when you told this joke?
Nick Kroll
I. This was an early street joke. It was a kid goes to the circus with his dad, and his name's Pagliacci.
Scott Aukerman
No.
Nick Kroll
And he goes to the circus, and the spotlight goes round and around, lights go out and stops on this kid. And the clown comes up to him and he goes, excuse me, son, are you a horse's head? And the son says, says, no. And the man says, then you must be a horse's ass. And the whole crowd laughs. The poor kid is humiliated. He spends the next, like, 30, 40 years just, like, stuck in this.
Scott Aukerman
30, 40 years.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, 30, 40 years. Just stuck in this cycle of, of self hate and doubt. And he decides finally to go and fix it. He goes, he goes to. He. He studies the roasts. He goes to Bob's College of Knowledge. He does everything he can to, like, learn how to come back. And then he goes back to the Circus. This is now 30, 40 years later. Later. And the. He pays off the light, the lighting, the spotlight guy, and the. This clown is still there. Spot go. Lights go down, spotlight goes around.
Scott Aukerman
Did he make sure the clown was still going to be there before he went back?
Nick Kroll
Yeah, before he paid for the ticket. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
That's a waste.
Nick Kroll
You know, he made sure he was on the bill. Okay. So he goes in, lights go down, spotlight goes around and stops on the man. And the clown comes out to him. He's a little older, a little slower now.
Scott Aukerman
He says, 40 years.
Nick Kroll
40 years, 34 years. He goes, excuse me, sir, are you a horse's head? And the man says, now. And the clown says, then you must be a horse's ass. And the crowd laughs. And the man, who's been waiting 30, 40 years for this moment to come back, studied at Bob's College of Knowledge, looks at the. Looks at the clown and goes, fuck you, clown. So anyway, that's a. Yeah, that's a joke.
Bait Turfoil
Wow.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I've heard that before. And this is the first joke you ever told to.
Nick Kroll
It's the first time I told it to bait.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, well, this is the first time he told us to bait.
Bait Turfoil
Well, this is. You have such happy lives, you know, to be able to live in this world of fantasy.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. People are drawing at his work.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. That's pretty amazing. People don't draw where I work. People sort of draw from there. The well of their pain.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Well, so what happened?
Bait Turfoil
So a lot of times someone will say, like, give me an example of something that's bothering them. Like a death in the family.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Any deaths recently?
Nick Kroll
Yeah, a bunch.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Well, and then I'll be like, I'll listen. And then I'll be like, oh, my gosh, that's, like, terrible. And then they'll be like, yeah, I'm like. And then they'll be like, yeah. And I'm like, it's not good that this happened. And then we talk about it. And then pretty much, that's pretty much it, you know?
Nick Kroll
Do you have any. Are you accredited?
Bait Turfoil
Well, you know, I have an office that I work out of.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, that sounds. Yeah, good enough for me.
Bait Turfoil
And I went to. I went to school.
Scott Aukerman
Where'd you go to school?
Bait Turfoil
I went to school. I went H Vac. I went to, like, an H Vac sort of repair.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. School.
Bait Turfoil
Like air conditioning and vacuum and all of that.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
But a lot of people were really depressed who worked there. And I would.
Scott Aukerman
I can imagine. God, I'd hate to Work there.
Bait Turfoil
I would ask that. I would say, what's wrong? And they would be like rolling around.
Scott Aukerman
In the air conditioner all day.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. They'd be like, I'm so dusty, or I get cut, or my wife left me. And I'd be like, oh, it's terrible. Yeah, it's awful.
Scott Aukerman
So you just had a natural predilection for this.
Bait Turfoil
I can draw the.
Nick Kroll
The.
Bait Turfoil
The sorrow out of somebody and then they don't have it anymore.
Nick Kroll
Is that so? All you do is you sort of empathize with their. That.
Bait Turfoil
Well, it's more than that. It sounds like that's all I'm doing.
Nick Kroll
Kind of does sound like you just go that, oh, that happened. That sounds terrible.
Bait Turfoil
Well, yeah, I mean, if you get. I'll help you right now if you want to.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. What's been going on in your life? Mental exhaustion.
Nick Kroll
Well, okay. I'm. I'm a little. I. I'm mentally exhausted from just trying to make sure I can keep you off of my shows.
Scott Aukerman
It's exhausting and just a general Mal.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, general, but. Well, okay, Mike, you. My grandmother. It's almost my birthday. My grandmother passed away on my birthday five years ago.
Bait Turfoil
That's terrible.
Nick Kroll
Oh, thank you.
Bait Turfoil
Terrible.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
What else happened besides that? When was the last time you went swimming in a pool?
Nick Kroll
Oh, I mean, I went swimming a couple last week. I went swimming.
Bait Turfoil
That's fun.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, but then it's much more fun. But I have sensitive skin, so my skin turned kind of red.
Bait Turfoil
Hey, do you like spaghetti?
Nick Kroll
I do. I like spaghetti, but I'm starting to have, like a gluten intolerance.
Bait Turfoil
There's gluten free pasta. You can have that.
Nick Kroll
Okay. But then I still feel kind of bloated after I eat pasta.
Bait Turfoil
Do you like ice cream?
Nick Kroll
I do.
Bait Turfoil
Okay.
Nick Kroll
But I. Yeah, I love ice cream. I love chocolate ice cream. I like to put whipped cream on top of my ice cream.
Bait Turfoil
Notice that we're not talking about his grandmother.
Scott Aukerman
I totally forgot about the whole grandmother thing. You're just talking. You're prattling on about ice cream and what you like on ice cream and stuff. Stuff.
Bait Turfoil
That grief is gone.
Nick Kroll
I feel much better.
Bait Turfoil
That's right.
Nick Kroll
I feel like I can finally let go.
Scott Aukerman
Honestly, I would love some ice cream right now.
Nick Kroll
I know this.
Bait Turfoil
Do you have ice cream?
Scott Aukerman
I don't have any. Oh, no, don't. I don't have any ice cream.
Bait Turfoil
Then we don't talk about ice cream.
Scott Aukerman
For the rest, I'm sad because I don't have any ice cream.
Bait Turfoil
All right. So what do you have? What do you have, water?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, water, Ice. Just frozen water.
Bait Turfoil
Let's have water.
Scott Aukerman
I have boiling water. God. Why am I just saying water things? God.
Bait Turfoil
Well, that's what you have. You have to do what you have.
Nick Kroll
Work with what you.
Bait Turfoil
Work with what you have, and you ignore the rest.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, yeah, I have water and I. And I'm made up. My body is made up of water.
Bait Turfoil
There you go.
Scott Aukerman
75% of it is.
Bait Turfoil
You're connecting with yourself this way. This is what it's all about. It's really about saying what is bothering me, what's upsetting me. Push it to the side.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, okay.
Bait Turfoil
Push it to the side and just leave it there.
Nick Kroll
Okay.
Bait Turfoil
Leave it there. Like a Christmas tree on a curb on December 26th. Just leave it there. That's too soon.
Scott Aukerman
I didn't notice. Too soon to get rid of your Christmas tree? Nick, take a breather on this. I'm talking about Christmas.
Nick Kroll
I have so many thoughts. Well, I want to talk about that. I grew up Jewish, and it's been really hard for me not to have Christmas.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, talk to Nick about this.
Bait Turfoil
Well, what did you have?
Nick Kroll
I had Hanukkah.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, that's fun. Eight days.
Nick Kroll
Eight days of Hanukkah.
Bait Turfoil
Eight days. You had eight days. That's more than Christmas. So you think about. That's amazing, huh? That's really great. Right?
Nick Kroll
Thank you.
Bait Turfoil
Now, don't ever say the word Christmas again. Don't think about Christmas.
Nick Kroll
Scott told me that off mic, that I wasn't allowed to say that.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, well, you should listen to him. He's, you know, he's gonna take my job. You're gunning for my job.
Scott Aukerman
How these techniques. Because these are revolutionary.
Bait Turfoil
Well, I did it a lot by. By butting into people's business. That's where I start. I'm like, you seem upset, or, why do you have that cut on your head? Or whatever. And then they'll be like, oh, I don't want to talk about it. And then I'm like, well, come on, let's talk about it. Or I'm going to make it up and tell the boss. And then they'll like, all right, I'll tell you. And then they tell me. And then I'm like, forget it. Just push it out of your brain. And then, like, sometimes.
Scott Aukerman
Would you ever tell the boss?
Bait Turfoil
Some. If I didn't like the person, I would just because. Or if I wanted their parking space.
Nick Kroll
I saw there's a. When we walked in to do the podcast, I noticed there's an older. Older. Older man.
Bait Turfoil
Yes.
Nick Kroll
Outside in the heat on a kind of. On a leash.
Bait Turfoil
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. What is that about that man?
Bait Turfoil
He's. He's someone who's working through something and I'm helping him work through it.
Scott Aukerman
He's a patient or a client?
Bait Turfoil
Well, yeah, he. He is very upset. He. His family left him.
Scott Aukerman
His fam. How?
Bait Turfoil
His family, they collectively left him.
Scott Aukerman
This is the. Usually you get kicked out of the house.
Nick Kroll
They all collectively left the house.
Scott Aukerman
What, did they go to an apartment or a different.
Nick Kroll
I mean, they Deer John. Him. His whole family. Dear John.
Scott Aukerman
This is a lot of people to move.
Bait Turfoil
It was like a family of six. He had five kids just kicked him.
Scott Aukerman
Out of the house.
Bait Turfoil
And so they all left. And he was like, so upset about it. And I was like, like, know what you got to do? Forget it. Forget them. And so, like, we threw away all the pictures they have. They made their own custom calendar with, like, every month is a different theme of whatever sounds like a lot. Ripped it up. Oak Smart replaced it with a what the bleep do we know? Calendar.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, sure.
Scott Aukerman
And I haven't heard of these. A what the BLEEP do we know?
Nick Kroll
Calendar. Yeah, yeah. No, they're great.
Scott Aukerman
I've never heard of this. But you don't know the what what the bleep do we know fr.
Bait Turfoil
What the bleep do we know, Frank?
Scott Aukerman
Huge. Okay.
Bait Turfoil
You've never seen that documentary.
Scott Aukerman
I'll look at. I'll look into it.
Nick Kroll
They're huge.
Scott Aukerman
Huge.
Bait Turfoil
And so then. And then he's like, I'm still thinking of them. I'm still thinking of my kids. I miss my kid. It's my kid's birthday. I'm like, no, who doesn't know about birthdays?
Nick Kroll
Dogs.
Scott Aukerman
Dogs.
Bait Turfoil
Thank you, Dr. Nick. Dr. Scott.
Scott Aukerman
So you. So he's now on a leash now.
Bait Turfoil
He thinks like a dog. So I give him, like, bacon from a butcher. I'll just, like, throw it.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, you're treating your dog.
Nick Kroll
You're treating your well dog.
Bait Turfoil
And then they're going to die.
Scott Aukerman
Treating them really well.
Bait Turfoil
He's fine. I walk him. And if he does die, we don't talk about that, because that would be upsetting.
Nick Kroll
Sure.
Bait Turfoil
So he's like, oh, I went to the doctor and the doctor says I'm eating too much raw bacon. I say, don't see that doctor anymore. Yeah, don't tell anybody that I'm feeding you this. And so what we. What we do is now he just lives in the moment. He's like, Hungry, Poop.
Nick Kroll
Sleep dog.
Bait Turfoil
Hot.
Pamela the Goose
Cold.
Bait Turfoil
And it's. I'll tell you something. He's thrilled.
Nick Kroll
And you sleep him in the, in the, In a kettle.
Bait Turfoil
He sleeps in a. He likes in his cage.
Nick Kroll
He likes.
Bait Turfoil
He likes the kettle.
Scott Aukerman
They like it as a security, you know, seems cruel, but they, they like it.
Bait Turfoil
He does it seems cruel, but you know what? For him, he's fine and they appreciate the call.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. And he said something about you sort of controlling his finances now as well.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, well, power of attorney was a phrase that he said.
Bait Turfoil
Dogs don't have bank accounts and they don't their paws. This is true. I'm not a veterinarian, but you know.
Scott Aukerman
A little bit about dogmatic.
Nick Kroll
You have an office.
Bait Turfoil
I have an office. But the dogs, their paws physically can't work an ATM machine.
Nick Kroll
Right.
Bait Turfoil
They're too big. They don't have the dexterity.
Scott Aukerman
And they don't have fingerprints because they don't have fingerprints. They don't have paw prints.
Bait Turfoil
They don't have fingerprints. They don't have. They can't remember their pins.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
So there's a lot of problems for dogs.
Scott Aukerman
Like, what's, what's the shortest pin that a dog could remember? Like a dog, like maybe like two. The number two.
Bait Turfoil
I wouldn't.
Scott Aukerman
If you said to a dog like, okay, number two is your pin. Number two. Number two. Then a dog went up to an atm, do you think it would hit number two?
Bait Turfoil
I can't speak for all dogs, but this dog cannot.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bait Turfoil
And I think it's because. And I, I actually, it's like a badge of honor because his so broken down as a dog that he can't remember anything. Anything. He knows his name, right?
Scott Aukerman
He knows what's his name now?
Bait Turfoil
His name. His name now.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Crunchles.
Scott Aukerman
Crunchles.
Bait Turfoil
Crunchles.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Classic dog name.
Bait Turfoil
And he's. He's Crunchles. And he knows that. He knows.
Nick Kroll
He just knows his name.
Bait Turfoil
I don't know if he knows it's his name.
Scott Aukerman
He just knows. It's a word that you're using as.
Bait Turfoil
A thing, as an affection when I grab his ears. Or like.
Nick Kroll
Or he's done. Or he's done something wrong.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, Crunchles. Don't you dare get on my bed. Crunches.
Scott Aukerman
And what's going on with Crunchles is anal glands because, well, we have to.
Bait Turfoil
Express them every once in a while.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, he. You don't, you don't have him rub across the floor like you have to.
Bait Turfoil
Sometimes I come home and he's been doing it.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. You think you have to finish it off.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. It looks like. You know what, it looks like, you know, in those hospitals where they have lines on the floor that go in different directions to tell you where it's going. That's what it looks like in my house.
Nick Kroll
Sure.
Bait Turfoil
But he. He's really actually well trained. He hates Amazon drivers and.
Nick Kroll
But he's. He barked, so. He sort of barked to me that to him. Amazon drivers are his children.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Well, he's also upset about the MGM acquisition, Right?
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, the mgm. Oh, well, he's a big Bond. He was a big Bond fan.
Scott Aukerman
He's worried that it's going to water down the grid.
Bait Turfoil
Water down. Then they're going to do all these spin offs. Like Q is going to have his.
Nick Kroll
Own crazy Bob Duka would ever come in and say the word. Barbara Broccoli over and.
Scott Aukerman
I don't know. We could try it.
Nick Kroll
We could try it.
Scott Aukerman
I haven't seen him in a while.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Okay, let's try.
Bait Turfoil
So it's really, you know, so he's happy.
Scott Aukerman
He's happy, you're happy.
Bait Turfoil
I'm thrilled. I have no trauma. That was lucky, that.
Nick Kroll
Now, what if he passed? Like, it's hard when you lose a dog, like a pet. What would you. How would you deal with that?
Bait Turfoil
Oh, I would just push it away. I wouldn't think about him ever again.
Nick Kroll
Can I. Can we try it? And try to do, like, with the lessons you've taught us.
Scott Aukerman
Let's be like best duo at the Emmys.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Best DU at the Emmys.
Scott Aukerman
We'll be co. Grief counselors.
Nick Kroll

Scott Aukerman
You're coming in. We have an office, by the way.
Nick Kroll
We have an.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, you have an office.
Pamela the Goose

Bait Turfoil
What are you paying per square foot?
Nick Kroll
It's $11,000 per square foot.
Bait Turfoil
Jeez, this is a nice office.
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Wow. Do you have a cold brew machine?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, no. It's such a small office. We can only afford $2,000. So it's two square feet.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, it's two square feet. So we got to hold one of us. If one of us holds the Nespresso.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Well, let's all stand closer together.

Bait Turfoil
I don't remember.
Nick Kroll
Oh, wow. You're already ahead. You've already.
Bait Turfoil
You're already done.
Scott Aukerman
You don't need our help.
Bait Turfoil
Welcome to. Okay, welcome.
Scott Aukerman
Hey, another job well done.
Bait Turfoil
Welcome to professionalism.
Scott Aukerman
We're shaking hands.
Bait Turfoil
This is what happens. I've already forgotten about Crunch.
Scott Aukerman
I wish more patients would do that, take care of their problem before they come in.
Nick Kroll
I know that would be a lot.
Scott Aukerman
Easier come having had.
Bait Turfoil
I tell them my patients that all the time. They'll come in like, oh, my mom just died. I'm like, I don't want to hear cuz a. I don't want to get depressed.
Nick Kroll
You don't want to get brought down by their.
Bait Turfoil
I don't want to get depressed. Like, I'm just trying to live my life.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
So if they could just not mention it, then I'm like, Then we go right away.
Scott Aukerman
Then you're like cooking with gas. Then you're just, like, riffing and just go.
Bait Turfoil
We hit the ground running.
Scott Aukerman
The electricity of. Just like when two people are just riffing with each other.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, it is.
Scott Aukerman
That's what you want in a grief caf.
Bait Turfoil
Health jazz.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, exactly.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. So, you know, and from someone like me who has no trauma, nothing.
Scott Aukerman
Nothing has ever happened to you?
Bait Turfoil
No. I mean, not.
Scott Aukerman
Can I ask about your background a little bit? Sure. Where. Where did you grow up?
Nick Kroll
What were your. What was your dad like?
Bait Turfoil
Well, I don't know. They abandoned me when I was a baby. They left me in the woods.
Scott Aukerman
In the woods.
Bait Turfoil
In the woods.
Scott Aukerman
That's a bad place to leave.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, they just, like, left me there.
Nick Kroll
Just to be clear. They left me in the woods. The Woody Harrelson marijuana facility. And.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah, Zach woods lives there too, right?
Nick Kroll
Yeah. Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Nick Kroll
And Bill Maher is an investor, and they were recently burglared. Sorry, go ahead.
Bait Turfoil
They were burglared?
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, they. They should come see me. They were probably upset about it. So I was left in the woods, and I was found by some poachers. And they. They kept me there, and they would use me. That's how I got my name. They used me as bait.
Scott Aukerman
As bait for the.
Pamela the Goose
For what?
Scott Aukerman
They were about.
Bait Turfoil
They were bear poachers.
Scott Aukerman
They were bear poachers.
Bait Turfoil
So I would just be put out into the dirt, and then bears would come and be like, is that alive or dead? And paw me around.
Scott Aukerman
And these are the turf oils.
Bait Turfoil
These are the turf oils. They're French Canadian. And they.
Nick Kroll
This is different than turfs.
Bait Turfoil
What's that?
Nick Kroll
Do you know J.K. rowling is.
Scott Aukerman
Have you ever heard of that notorious turf.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, Beast of Grinwald.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, The. The Griswolds or whatever it is. The Beast of the Griswolds. I'm thinking of the vacation franchise.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, I love that. I love Chevy chuck.
Scott Aukerman
What if J.K. rowling had written Vacation? Wouldn't the world be better off? I don't know. I don't know. We will never know.
Bait Turfoil
We'll never know. And I've already forgotten the question. So I was used as bait. It's weird. I haven't thought about this in a long time.
Nick Kroll
I wonder why.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And so your face is, by the way, is turning red. You're breathing heavy, and you, like, I, I, I think you've, you've just tamped all of this down, all of these emotions, which is not a healthy way.
Bait Turfoil
They love me. They love me. And the fact that the bears are the per.
Nick Kroll
The poachers.
Bait Turfoil
The poachers. I provided them with something, and they love me in return.
Nick Kroll
Like a worm on a hook.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
Like, like chum in the sea.
Bait Turfoil
And then they love me in return. And they, you know.
Nick Kroll
Did they raise you, the poacher?
Bait Turfoil
They, well, they raised me, in effect, that if I would survive the day being bait, then they would then. And let me sleep that night in the bear carcass. Give me some. Yeah, they would, like, fold me into the intestines or something so I'd stay warm. And then next morning, I would eat a little, you know, whatever was left over from what?
Scott Aukerman
They had a little bear.
Bait Turfoil
A little. And then they would throw me out there and.
Scott Aukerman
Wow. So they're catching one bear a day?
Bait Turfoil
They caught. Oh, they were great. Too many bears. They got, like, one bear. No, they had, like, six, seven bears a day. Six a day. Oh, man. There's the reason why there's, like, a black bear. Endangered species, because mostly because of my dad's.
Scott Aukerman
The turf was. And they were a couple.
Bait Turfoil
They were not a couple, but I, in my mind, they were a couple. And they resented that I kept putting them together because they were very heteronormative.
Nick Kroll
And you. Yeah, of course.
Bait Turfoil
And they were like, we're not a couple.
Scott Aukerman
They're a different generation.
Bait Turfoil
Like, dad, dad. They're like, we're not your dad. Your dad left you in the woods.
Scott Aukerman
We're business partners.
Bait Turfoil
That's why.
Scott Aukerman
Right. We work at Turf Oil's Bear Emporium. So anyway, this is a story as old as time.
Bait Turfoil
This is what, you know, what, you use what you were sort of brought into, and then I take whatever lemons and I turn it into lemonade.
Nick Kroll
Can I ask a question? Did you ever develop a relationship with any of the bears that you.
Bait Turfoil
Well, in a way that they would, like, claw at me and bat me around to see if I was alive or not.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you were playing dead. That was your technique or.
Bait Turfoil
Well, it was that or being be destroyed. So, yeah, so I would just be like. I would just take it and be like. And sometimes it would. Like there was some internal, like, bruising and stuff. I never saw a doctor, but it was.
Scott Aukerman
Never seen a doctor.
Bait Turfoil
Well, they. The turf oils told me not to see a doctor.
Scott Aukerman
Were they Christian Scientists? What's going on?
Bait Turfoil
No, they were like. They didn't want to be like, wait, what are all the bruises on this kid?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, yeah.
Bait Turfoil
And I understood. I was like, who wants to fill out all that paperwork?
Scott Aukerman
You don't want protective services coming down and taking you away from the turf walls.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, I feel like. Like, that's. If you don't use that. That would be a great line for you to use in your grief counseling. Who wants to fill out all that paperwork?
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. Who wants to fill out all that paperwork?
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Can I say it one more time? Who wants to fill out all that paperwork?
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
That second take really nailed it.
Bait Turfoil
I really like that.
Nick Kroll
Hey, I know it's too late, but we're about to restart Big Mouth. Wait, there's a room.
Scott Aukerman
You're about to restart Big Mouth?
Nick Kroll
There's room for one voice.
Bait Turfoil
Really?
Nick Kroll
Sort of a Scott Aukerman type.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, I like that.
Scott Aukerman
Physically.
Bait Turfoil
Sort of like a Kermit the Frog.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, Kermit presenting the cuck of the Muppets.
Bait Turfoil
Well, I have to say, I have a pretty busy schedule.
Nick Kroll
Okay.
Bait Turfoil
I'm helping a lot of people. I bet there's a lot of grief in this world. A lot of people don't know that there's a lot of grief in this world.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Nick Kroll
No.
Scott Aukerman
So you're too busy to go star on a cartoon for Netflix?
Bait Turfoil
I mean.
Scott Aukerman
What do you mean? What is a sex scale?
Nick Kroll
This is sex scale. I was at Santa Nation, his most favored nation set.
Bait Turfoil
Now I'm tapped heart lead.
Scott Aukerman
What were you tapped heart lead for?
Bait Turfoil
I was in the Rookie, that show. The Rookie by accident. I was crossing Bonnie Bray and third.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bait Turfoil
They were filming there with Chunkles. And I was crossing. And I was crossing kind of yellow. I shouldn't have done it.
Scott Aukerman
But I don't think that's the part. They blocked off the street for filming. It sounds. Sounds like.
Bait Turfoil
Well, I didn't see any of those. Like, any cones or anything. And then I was.
Scott Aukerman
Movie sets don't have cones.
Bait Turfoil
I. Exactly.
Scott Aukerman
I mean, maybe they have cones, but when I think of a movie set, I Don't just first off, think of cones.
Nick Kroll
I mean, I think of the cone brothers.
Bait Turfoil
Sure.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah. They're the cone heads.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, they're great. They may. They. So anyway.
Scott Aukerman
So you just were caught on film.
Bait Turfoil
I was caught on film. Cross. Well, the.
Scott Aukerman
They.
Bait Turfoil
They. The car hit Chunkles.
Scott Aukerman
Oh.
Bait Turfoil
Which was bad.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Bait Turfoil
And I was like, forget it.
Nick Kroll
Do you remember? And you remember this?
Bait Turfoil
Well, it didn't affect me because it hit Chunkles.
Scott Aukerman
Right.
Nick Kroll
So that wasn't a trauma or grief for you?
Bait Turfoil
No, because Chunkles forgot about it right away.
Scott Aukerman
So how did you end up on the show?
Bait Turfoil
Because I was like, you hit Chunkles?
Scott Aukerman
And.
Bait Turfoil
And then once I saw Chunkles was okay, and they were like, what could we do? Don't sue us. Don't sue us. I was. Was like, am I in the shot? They were like, yeah. I'm like, do I get paid as a featured background artist?
Scott Aukerman
So if I'm watching the rookie, whatever.
Bait Turfoil
Episode this is, you are episode 19.
Scott Aukerman
You are leading a man on a leash, a naked man on a leash, through a scene. A car hits him, and you scream, you hit Chunkles. And it doesn't have anything to do with the scene that I'm watching.
Bait Turfoil
Well, what happens is they cut a lot.
Nick Kroll
This is the brilliance. This is the brilliance of the rookie.
Bait Turfoil
This is the brilliance of the rookie. They. They almost like, this is when art imitates life.
Scott Aukerman
They forgot about it. They forgot about.
Bait Turfoil
Just left editing. They cut it out. So all you have is this in the scene is me looking like this.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I see.
Bait Turfoil
Like this.
Scott Aukerman
They cut it out of the.
Bait Turfoil
The finish line.
Nick Kroll
Kept it. They made the most of it. And Nathan Fillan has been on Big Mouth a ton, is a. A recurring character. Genuinely, genuinely a recurring character.
Scott Aukerman
He plays a lot of cops. I understand he.
Bait Turfoil
So do I.
Scott Aukerman
But, hey, curb your enthusiasm.
Nick Kroll
He. He can integrate anything. He can bring anything in. So they use that moment of. Of bait.
Scott Aukerman
I'm sure that when. When the car hit Chunkles, he probably was like, I don't know how to handle this. I'm just a rookie. And it just fit.
Nick Kroll
Right.
Bait Turfoil
I didn't read the script, but so then to me, that's not a traumatic memory. That's a great memory because not only did I get tapped Hartley, I got tapped Hartley. So I'm like a must hire, which is so fantastic. If you live in Los Angeles, it's a great deal.
Scott Aukerman
So is that going to factor in you restarting Big Mouth? The fact that he's a must hire.
Nick Kroll
He is b turfoil me t Hartley.
Bait Turfoil
So I got. I got lunch.
Nick Kroll
Where'd you go to Jones on third. Where'd you go? Jones on third.
Scott Aukerman
How does this story go on?
Bait Turfoil
They had catering. They had catering. So.
Scott Aukerman
Cuz I thought all the German information. We've already covered it. But you. There's. It's still going on.
Bait Turfoil
With what? What did you ask?
Scott Aukerman
The story is continuing.
Bait Turfoil
Well, you were asking.
Scott Aukerman
No, no, we asked how did you get Ta Hart lead.
Bait Turfoil
And I'm telling the story.
Scott Aukerman
Okay. What left is there to.
Nick Kroll
He went to catering. He went to catering. He got roast chicken. Would you get any green sides? What you get?
Bait Turfoil
I go greens. I go protein. You don't go carbs. This doesn't have anything to do when you go carbs. You start falling asleep in the afternoon when it's wrapped. So I just go. I go veggies.
Scott Aukerman
Are you continue talking until we get to the current moment.
Bait Turfoil
Well, we can.
Nick Kroll
I'm. I. I just want to say I'm genuinely interested in what you're craft, what you're catering.
Bait Turfoil
I appreciate it.
Nick Kroll
You do a big piece of cake in a bowl.
Bait Turfoil
Don't do the cake in a bowl. Don't do the cake. What I do is I get chocolates. Later I get a sleeve of Nutter Butters. And what you do is you have a nutter butter every 15 minutes.
Nick Kroll
And then my. I lost.
Bait Turfoil
That way you don't crash.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, I was gonna say I. My three of my siblings had a peanut allergy and I gave them a sleeve Nutter Butters and they all passed.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, that's terrible. Forget it. What are your siblings names?
Nick Kroll
Jeremy, Vanessa and Dana.
Bait Turfoil
All right, Scratch those names from your memory forever, okay? Because it'll only bring you pain if you think about them.
Nick Kroll
Can I give them different. Should I give them different names?
Bait Turfoil
No, don't. They never exist.
Scott Aukerman
What if he wants to think about Vanessa Williams, former Miss America turned Penthouse model turned turned pop star.
Bait Turfoil
Then that's the only. Only the star of Eraser. That's the only Vanessa.
Scott Aukerman
I know a lot about show business. I know you're a Taft Hartley and you're a must hire, but I'm sorry.
Bait Turfoil
I watch movies.
Nick Kroll
But are you. You have an encyclopedic are you sorry.
Scott Aukerman
Memory for Vanessa Williams movies.
Bait Turfoil
I'm not allowed to be sorry.
Nick Kroll
Oh, I'm so sorry that I can't be sorry.
Bait Turfoil
Right, because there's nothing to be said.
Nick Kroll
Ken, have you ever played that. The board game? Sorry.
Bait Turfoil
I. I'm not good with dice.
Scott Aukerman
What do you mean? You just pick them up and you throw them?
Nick Kroll
No.
Scott Aukerman
What is there to be good with?
Bait Turfoil
Every time I handle dice it in that we always.
Scott Aukerman
What happened? They slip.
Bait Turfoil
People get hurt.
Nick Kroll
You don't lose one Bait doesn't remember. We've met. We've met multiple times. Bait has cut me out of his memory.
Scott Aukerman
What?
Nick Kroll
But I know that I was friends.
Bait Turfoil
I don't remember.
Nick Kroll
I'm friends with the turf foils. And what we would do is we would play dice on Bates life every night. We would roll dice.
Bait Turfoil
And I don't remember this. I don't remember Snake Eyes.
Nick Kroll
Right.
Bait Turfoil
I don't remember any.
Nick Kroll
Remember where we kept the die?
Bait Turfoil
I don't remember. And I don't remember I had to take it out to poop.
Nick Kroll
Good. So there we are.
Scott Aukerman
Wow.
Bait Turfoil
And it was. I don't remember that. It was a dungeon and dragon style die. Yeah, I don't remember that.
Nick Kroll
And then Harmon did a podcast about you.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you're what the Harmon Quest podcast is based on.
Nick Kroll
Yeah.
Bait Turfoil
Oh, Angie Harmon.
Scott Aukerman
Can you name one Angie Harmon project?
Bait Turfoil
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
And you can't say Eraser if she was in that.
Nick Kroll
And you can't say Resolian Isles.
Bait Turfoil
Without. Resolian Isles.
Scott Aukerman
Without Resolian Isles. It's tough. It's real tough.
Nick Kroll
But I think you call yourself a grief counsel.
Bait Turfoil
I think she sign in for Kelly Ripa once in.
Scott Aukerman
All right, that counts. It counts.
Bait Turfoil
She sign in for Kelly Ripa.
Scott Aukerman
It counts.
Nick Kroll
All right, great, great, great.
Scott Aukerman
Well, Bait Turfoil, this is a wild story, but we appreciate you coming on. Can you stick around? Because anywhere to be.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah, well, let me just check on Chunkles because he's been in the sun for a while. Do we have a water?
Nick Kroll
Well, I see him.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, Chunkles is.
Nick Kroll
Looks like he's trying to bite through his leg to get out of the leash, but.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, but it'll be fine. All right, well, let's tell you what. You catch up with Chunkles, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we have an animal. This is very exciting. Oh, yeah.

No, it was 72 hours.
Scott Aukerman
Oh. Oh. It was 72 hours ago.

Earn more money, so. To afford his lifestyle.
Scott Aukerman
Spend more money on strippers.
Pamela the Goose
I. I couldn't meet his needs. I. I couldn't. I didn't know how to blow or kiss.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, so let me. Let me just get this straight. You're a goof.
Pamela the Goose
I didn't know how to.
Scott Aukerman
You're in town in Los Angeles because you had a son, Ryan, and you had a. You had a wealthy husband that you were stripping in order to meet his needs because you didn't know how to blow a kitchen.
Pamela the Goose
He spent a lot of acorns.
Scott Aukerman
Do I have all his acorns? Do I have this about right?
Pamela the Goose
No.
Scott Aukerman
No. Please.
Pamela the Goose
You haven't brought up the joke that I made about Lane you said was so funny.

Pamela the Goose
The face was like when you wind up a jacket, the box, and it pops.
Nick Kroll

Pamela the Goose
He's neither silly nor serious.
Nick Kroll

Pamela the Goose

Scott Aukerman
Okay. This might be Ryan Gosling, the actor. He's. I mean, if it's any consolation, if. If it is the Ryan Gosling that you're talking about, he's a very successful actor nominated for an Academy Award or. I think.
Pamela the Goose
Yeah, he's got a. He's got a wife, and so he doesn't talk to me.
Scott Aukerman
He does have a wife. Eva Mendez, I believe, is and children. And he seems very happy and he's very well respected. He's never done this show, which is like a plus.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, but so just so you know, he's abandoned. He's left you.
Pamela the Goose
Right.
Nick Kroll
He's moved on with his life. But he's doing well, right?
Scott Aukerman
You can let him go.
Bait Turfoil
Yeah. You can just forget him. It's the easiest thing to do.
Pamela the Goose
No, he needs me. He wants me to sing all the classic bird lullabies.

So are you just ordering cheeseburgers every single place you go?
Bait Turfoil
Well, I'm trying to get my cholesterol up.
Scott Aukerman
You are. By the way, we should mention you are approximately £650. I don't like to talk about people's bodies. I thought it was germane to what we're talking about.
Bait Turfoil
No, it's okay.
Pamela the Goose
It's hard to fit you under my wings.
Bait Turfoil
It would be, but I would keep you warm. I'm like, I'm. To be fair, I'm under 650. Yeah, I'm 649. And. And I.
Scott Aukerman
And you were talking about the movie the Whale during the break, saying that it was aspirational.
Bait Turfoil
Well, I've always. I've loved him since George Jungle is my son in.
Scott Aukerman
He worked a lot before that. That's not like a brag. I love to. Since George. That was. That was on the. When his career was waning.
Bait Turfoil
Well, that's when I. He came on my radar. That's when he came on my radar. I don't know what he did.
Scott Aukerman
Just saying to be like, I've loved him since George of the Jungle. I mean. Yeah, there's a long time in between.
Bait Turfoil
You can like someone like Bob Dylan after Time out of Mind and be like, not know that he did anything before that.
Scott Aukerman
I don't think that that's. I don't think it's possible to like, Time out of Mind without at least having some sort of. Like, if. If you just got.
Bait Turfoil
You might be a big Daniel Lane fan.
Scott Aukerman
If you just got like a CDR and it just said time out of Mind and you put it on you. First of all, you would go like, oh, this is Bob Dylan from the Voice.
Bait Turfoil
Just from like, you've never heard him before.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, but just from being a person and from like hearing comedians go like, like you would know it was Bob Dylan. But secondly, you wouldn't like it if you weren't like, oh, this must be Bob Dylan.
Bait Turfoil
Unless you liked the music.
Scott Aukerman
Back me up on this.
Nick Kroll
I genuinely don't know anything about Bob Dylan. The geese love. Yeah, because he whines like them, doesn't he?

Scott Aukerman
I know. I saw on this email Netflix sent me that. This is going to premiere in 20. 20. 26.
Nick Kroll
Yes.
Scott Aukerman
Right.
Nick Kroll
So we're trying to get ahead of it.
Scott Aukerman
Are you gonna come back for that?
Nick Kroll
Absolutely.
Scott Aukerman
Okay.
Nick Kroll
It's a great opportunity to talk about how we didn't cast you in that one as well. I'd love for you, but we might open up the animatic. We might open up a color to get you this.
Scott Aukerman
Put a goose in.
Nick Kroll
A goose in there.
Pamela the Goose
Take a chance. Put a goose in there. Yeah. No, I, I need no real estate out here. So ridiculous. It's like 100 acorns for two by two. So I need a job.
Nick Kroll
Okay. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, for a two. And that's a thousand square. I mean, for us, that would be a th. 100 acorns. One square foot is $1,000 for one thing.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, but. So 100 acorns is about $1,000. Thousand expensive acorns.
Pamela the Goose
And would you be paying me in cash dollars? Acorns, worms.
Nick Kroll
I'd be pouring in in loonies. I'd be paying in. In Canadian loonies. So.
Scott Aukerman
But hey, that's, you know, you might get them and go, this isn't a lot. It's actually worth two.
Pamela the Goose
The transfer is great.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, the transfer, it's worth twice.
Pamela the Goose
But don't but don't transfer it at the end airport, because they'll. They'll.
Nick Kroll
They'll get you at the airport.
Scott Aukerman
Exactly.
Nick Kroll
So you. You fly, but then you still take commercial airlines.
Pamela the Goose
I flew Alaska.
Scott Aukerman
It's a long trip.
Pamela the Goose
I flew Alaska. I had two layovers.
Nick Kroll
I did.
Pamela the Goose
I flew. I layover Newark, which was.
Nick Kroll
That's tough. Really good.
Pamela the Goose
I love it there.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, it's a great town. It's a great airport, though. Ironic, but it is crazy. So you don't fly, but you. You made it. Say it sound like you're like, I flew 2800 miles.
Pamela the Goose
2800 on points.
Scott Aukerman
Technically on. You didn't even pay for it. You paid for it with points.
Pamela the Goose
Paid on it with points.
Scott Aukerman
Credit card points or airline points.
Pamela the Goose
No points. Bugs.
Scott Aukerman
Bugs. Oh, yeah, this makes sense.
Nick Kroll
This does make sense.
Pamela the Goose
Alaska accepts loonies with cash and bug points.
Nick Kroll
And bug points.
Scott Aukerman
Well, this all makes sense, Pamela and I wish you luck, but I have to say, we are running out of time. Unfortunately, on the show, the only thing that we have time for is one final feature, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. Well, very abrupt ending. That was Plug Bag by Shoshin. Thanks to Shoshin for that. If you have a plugs theme, head over to cbbworld.com plugs you'll find everything you need there to make our closing up the Plug Bag remixes. And also you can upload your songs there. And Nick, you have so much going on. What are we plugging?

Scott Aukerman
Bing's AI. Yeah, yep. And human.
Nick Kroll

Scott Aukerman
Human growth hormone, yeah. You've been on hh. I've been on HGH for a long time. Yep, yep, yep. And I've been noticing the difference in you. I mean, some people do it naturally, like, you know, Kamal and. And you. Instead of taking the other route.
Nick Kroll
No, I. And you can tell that my energy as the podcast has gone up has really flagged. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
And by the way, acne has broken out just in the hour that you've been here.
Nick Kroll
Yeah, acne's broken out on my ever expanding brow. So anyway, check.
Scott Aukerman
Check all that out.
Nick Kroll
Check all that out.
Scott Aukerman
And bait. Turf oil. What do you want to plug?
Bait Turfoil
I'm going to be staring into the sun. Sun on Thursday?
Scott Aukerman
What's going on with the sun on Thursday? Is there anything in particular or is this.
Bait Turfoil
I just. I really wanted to get my. My pupils as small as possible. Trying to break a Guinness Book World Records.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, that's Fred Guinness is on the show. He's in charge of the record.
Bait Turfoil

Bait Turfoil
Oh, my gosh. Maybe they conceived me during Prizzy's honor.
Scott Aukerman
That would be so cool. That would be so 1985's Pritzy's honor.
Bait Turfoil
1980. That fits my age. Yeah, perfectly.
Scott Aukerman

Bait Turfoil
Wow, that's amazing. That could be.

Podcast Summary: Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast – "Wingo Bingo" (Nick Kroll, Owen Burke, Hannah Pilkes)

Introduction
In the "Wingo Bingo" episode of Comedy Bang Bang, host Scott Aukerman welcomes back comedian and actor Nick Kroll for his 48th appearance on the show.

Celebrating "Big Mouth"
[03:28] Scott introduces the topic by reflecting on the eight-year run of Big Mouth on Netflix, highlighting its eight successful seasons and 81 episodes. Nick humorously laments that despite his extensive involvement, neither the writers nor the main cast participated in the podcast celebration.
He discusses the show's Emmy recognition, noting over 50 nominations and multiple wins, including one for Outstanding Animated Program.
[06:31] Nick shares insights into voicing 81 characters across all episodes, averaging three appearances per year, underscoring his dedication and versatility.

[18:33] Transitioning from past successes, Nick introduces his new television show "Adults", premiering on FX and Hulu.
[21:16] Scott probes into the show's premise, and Nick elaborates that "Adults" focuses on the awkwardness and horniness of early twenties, drawing parallels to shows like Friends and Broad City but with a filthier edge.
Additionally, Nick previews his upcoming film "I Don't Understand You", set to release on June 6.
He humorously recounts preparing for his role by ensuring a double would handle scenes requiring guitar playing to maintain the illusion.
Humorous Grief Counseling Session
[30:14] The episode takes a comedic turn with the introduction of Bait Turfoil, a nameday grief counselor, portrayed in a satirical manner. Scott and Nick engage in a mock counseling session where Bait employs unorthodox and absurd methods to help Nick address his grief.
Scott Aukerman: "What's been going on in your life? Mental exhaustion."
Bait Turfoil: "I would ask, what's wrong? And they would be like, I'm so dusty, or I get cut, or my wife left me."
The interaction is filled with deadpan humor, highlighting the show's characteristic blend of improvisation and absurdity.
Unexpected Animal Guest: Pamela the Goose
[68:51] Breaking the conventional guest format, Scott introduces Pamela the Goose as a first-time animal guest. The segment quickly devolves into surreal and comedic exchanges:
Scott and Nick play along, conflating Ryan Gosling with Pamela's fictional son, leading to a series of absurd dialogues about geese behaviors and humorous calamities.
The goose's interactions parody typical podcast guest segments, adding a layer of absurdist comedy to the episode.
Closing Remarks and Plugs
As the episode wraps up, Scott thanks Nick for his multiple appearances and reflects humorously on the chaotic yet entertaining interactions with Bait Turfoil and Pamela the Goose. The hosts transition into closing plugs, promoting upcoming episodes, merchandise, and sponsor messages, maintaining the show's signature comedic flair.
Nick and the animal guests humorously engage in final banter, ensuring the episode concludes on a high-energy, comedic note.
