You miss your old familiar friends waiting

1:33

just around the bend? Have mercy! John

1:35

Stamos rules. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank

1:39

you Not John Stamos for that catchphrase. That's

1:41

the one that's gonna stick, I think. From

1:43

now on, that is it. That's my new

1:45

What's Up Hot Dog. Really? Yep,

1:48

that is the one. I love it. Absolutely.

1:50

Alright, I mean it's bound to happen.

1:52

Absolutely. Absolutely. Welcome

1:55

to... Welcome

1:58

to French Comedy Bang Bang. Um,

2:01

we're not speaking French, just you and I are

2:03

gonna French during the show. No, I know. Oh,

2:05

okay. Uh,

2:08

my name is Scott Ackerman. I'm your host.

2:10

I know with the most, you're talking to

2:12

the audience. Yeah. No, I, I apologize. Why

2:14

would I be informing you of this? You've

2:16

been on the show twice. I believe you

2:18

can imagine my confusion. I

2:20

can't imagine it. Uh,

2:26

let me introduce myself. I am your

2:28

host, Scott Ackerman. If you've never heard

2:30

this program before, or let alone, if

2:32

you've never seen any kind of talk

2:34

show before, what usually happens

2:36

is there's a host, someone who steers

2:38

the program, ask questions, getting in on

2:40

the ground floor. I mean, you may

2:42

be a little baby who chill, you

2:45

know, children are introduced to podcasts all the

2:48

time, every day, one child at least. So

2:51

that's what happens is there's usually a guy who steers

2:53

it, who kind of says, you know, at this point

2:55

we need to wrap it up. That's about it. Steers

2:57

it, wraps it up. And

2:59

I am that man. You,

3:02

by the way, our, our guests to the

3:04

right of me just adjusted his chair and

3:06

he just immediately sank down to about chin

3:08

level at the table, lowering my status. Not

3:11

a difference to you. I am very high status at this point.

3:13

Uh, to my right, our

3:16

first guest on the program, our first

3:18

taker. Yeah. First taker. Uh,

3:21

he's been on the show, I believe three times and

3:24

that's it. Yeah. The best ofs, uh,

3:26

the best of 2013, the best of 2012 and the best of 2011. That's

3:30

about it. I think so. Yeah. That may be it. Uh,

3:32

he's an old friend. I don't know why you don't

3:34

drop by more often, but I, because

3:37

I'm such an old friend. Oh, good.

3:39

That I go to bed. I'm usually in bed this,

3:41

this hour, 11

3:44

in the morning, by the way, I

3:46

usually, I wake up around 1 AM.

3:49

Oh God. Yeah. And I, you know, I put

3:51

her around the house and do

3:54

my gardening. There's really nothing else to do when

3:56

you wake up in the middle of the night,

3:58

is there other than putter around the house. It

4:00

feels weird to work. You

4:02

know, you're up, you've been awakened at, last

4:04

night for instance for me it was 5am. 5am

4:07

I'm awake. There's nothing to do but putter.

4:09

Yeah. You know, I mean you can't

4:11

work, you can't watch TV, you can't, you know, otherwise you'll

4:14

wake up your loved ones, you can't, you

4:16

know, like you say do gardening, the

4:19

sun is out. Have you tried listening to

4:21

the TV at a lower volume? You

4:24

know what, I'm just afraid of waking anyone up

4:26

in the house. Sure, anyone. Yeah,

4:28

burglars if they happen to be there don't wanna wake

4:30

them up. Does

4:33

that dog of yours sleep through the night?

4:35

Oh yeah. He sleeps through the day.

4:38

Right. Anyway. Dogs are

4:40

lazy creatures. Dogs are lazy. Anyway, so

4:43

he's an old friend, he just, this

4:46

is past his bedtime, Paul of Tompkins is

4:48

here. Hooray for me. Hooray. Scott, what a

4:51

pleasure to be here on a non-best of

4:54

occasion. Hey, it's August, it's the middle

4:56

of the year, I said, you

4:58

know what, eight

5:00

months have elapsed. Let's get Paul

5:02

back in here. It's a little past the middle of

5:04

the year, wouldn't you say? Well that is true. Just

5:06

over the hump of the year. Hump,

5:09

and it is hump day that we're recording

5:11

this. Oh my God, you're right. So

5:13

think about that. Well, I did think about that when

5:15

I celebrated with my loved ones. Paul,

5:18

we can't talk to you all day. No, and

5:20

you shouldn't. We have another guest. That's right, you

5:22

do. To my

5:24

left, sort of at 11 o'clock,

5:27

to me I would say. And

5:31

by the way, Paul just got up, and

5:33

he's puttering around right now, as if it's

5:36

the middle of the night. I shouldn't be

5:38

awake. What are you doing? I'm puttering. What

5:40

is puttering, by the way? It's

5:42

not puttering, is it? No. No,

5:44

I picture puttering as like just wandering

5:46

aimlessly around, and sadly looking at things.

5:49

You're not using your hands? Yeah, no.

5:52

I feel like you're in a bathrobe, your hands are

5:54

in the bathrobe pockets, and you're just going for a

5:56

room. Maybe you're doing a little puttering. You're maybe like

5:58

flipping through a magazine. Yeah, but

6:00

it's sad. Checking an email. Something sad

6:03

about puttering. Yeah. It's very

6:05

arcane words. It is. At 11

6:07

o'clock to me, he is our returning champion. His

6:10

second appearance on the show, he is

6:12

holding a guitar, by the way, which implies that

6:14

he's going to be playing it at some point.

6:17

Whoa! There it is.

6:20

He is a singer, a songwriter,

6:23

certainly. Oh, yeah. Oftentimes,

6:25

he sings the songs that he writes. I

6:27

do that too. You ever written for anyone

6:29

like Christina Aguilera or any of the pop,

6:31

you know, people? I'm a million

6:33

years old. I keep trying. Christina Aguilera

6:36

or the pop people? The latest pop people, Christina

6:38

Aguilera. They

6:41

turned me down, the pop people. So

6:44

sorry. He is

6:46

one of my favorites. Please welcome back to the

6:49

show Loudoun Wainwright III. Hello.

6:51

Thank you. Lovely to be

6:54

here. And you know Paul? Yeah. Where do you

6:56

know each other from? From where do you... From

6:58

Wits? It was in San Francisco,

7:00

as I recall. That's correct. We did the comedy

7:02

festival up there in last... When

7:05

was it? That was last January. That

7:07

was really... That was this past January. You know what

7:09

I'm saying? We were guests on

7:12

the Wits public radio show,

7:14

which is doing a live performance up there. All

7:18

checks out? It all checks out. Mm-hmm. Very

7:21

good. And did you perform together or separately

7:23

or both? We did end

7:25

up performing... We did some sketches. Yeah, that's right.

7:27

We did sketches. We did sketch work together. Very

7:30

good. We know each other from sketch. Right.

7:32

From the world of sketch. We have sketchy relationships.

7:34

Paula Tonkins and Loudoun Wainwright III.

7:37

And Loudoun, also an actor.

7:39

We covered this on the last program, but

7:42

from Undeclared and many Judd Apatow

7:44

productions, as well as other things I would imagine.

7:46

I haven't looked at your entire resume, nor have

7:48

I memorized it. I was on mesh. Were

7:50

you? Tell me about that. Wow. Captain

7:54

Spalding, right? Paul. Wait, were you

7:56

beautiful? No. You were Colonel

7:58

Potter? No, no. No, I was Captain... If

8:00

someone said Captain Spalding, why would you say you

8:02

were Colonel Potter? I

8:05

just hear those things and I immediately translate it

8:07

in my mind to Colonel Potter. I feel as

8:09

if you're being willfully up to Scott. Well, maybe.

8:13

What were you on MASH? I've been promoted

8:15

to Colonel. I was Captain Calvin Spalding, the

8:17

singing surgeon in the third season of MASH.

8:20

The entire third season? No, I

8:22

did three episodes in the third season. And

8:26

it was with the original

8:29

cast of the TV show.

8:31

We're talking Maclean Stevenson. Right.

8:33

We're talking... Wayne... Wayne Rogers.

8:35

Rogers. Rogers. Yes. Yeah. Alan

8:37

Alda. Alan Alda. A

8:40

Clinger. Clinger was there too. Gary

8:42

Burgoff. Yeah. William

8:45

Christopher. God, he knows every... His

8:47

father, McCain. The

8:50

stars of AfterMASH. We're all there. You watched a

8:52

lot of MASH, I suspect. Oh, yes, absolutely. He

8:55

knew who I was, and I was only

8:57

in three episodes. I just watched an episode

8:59

yesterday. You were not in it. So at

9:01

this point, I do not know whether your

9:03

facts are checking out. It's somewhere. In some

9:05

place in the world, I am in it,

9:07

in some episode, in Guam or something. Was

9:09

that a thrill to film

9:11

out there on

9:14

the West Coast? You filmed that, I believe,

9:16

on the Fox lot. Right. And then we

9:18

did the locations in Malibu Canyon. Malibu Canyon.

9:20

Was that a thrill? It was a thrill.

9:22

It was a thrill. All those helicopters. Yeah.

9:26

How many helicopters? Oh, those

9:28

helicopters. I never counted them. It

9:31

was so long ago. You never counted them? No,

9:33

no. It's a good way to fall asleep. Was

9:35

it a lot of helicopters or just one that

9:37

they shot over and over again? They had some

9:39

film of one helicopter, and they kept showing it

9:41

over and over. Mm. See, Scott?

9:43

They still have the rotting Jeep out there.

9:45

Do they? I used to live in

9:47

Woodland Hills more recently, and I actually went to Mal... What was your address?

9:50

I was 5150. Oh,

9:53

like the Van Halen album. San Feliciano.

9:55

Oh, very good. That's right. And Sammy

9:57

Hagar lives there now. You

10:00

know what a 5150 is, right? Yes. Oh, of

10:02

course. It's the best Van Halen album. Yeah. No,

10:05

it's, yes. It was my actual address. Wow.

10:08

That's why we bought the house, because it was 5150. Really?

10:12

That just spoke to you. Yeah. And-

10:15

I went out to Malibu Canyon and hiked

10:18

into the canyon just to find the mash, where they

10:20

did all those mash scenes where they had that shot

10:23

of the helicopter. Did you remember where it was and

10:25

you were just- Well, I

10:27

went online and my

10:29

memory was refreshed. And there is

10:31

an rotting old Jeep out there

10:33

that's kind of commemorating all

10:36

that great work. Can you see it through

10:38

early morning fog? Well, I would always

10:40

go in the afternoon when the fog was burned off, because

10:42

it was quite a walk and I didn't want to be

10:44

disappointed. But before the sun went down, right? Yeah.

10:46

Okay, good. Because you got to get out because they closed

10:49

the canyon. Oh, they do? Yeah. Oh, and where do you

10:51

live now? I live in New York now. And what's the

10:53

address there? Let's

10:56

see, what was that Van Halen? 300

10:59

Riverside Drive. I don't know why I'm telling

11:01

you where I live. Oh, you ate one

11:04

too, Riverside Drive? I know. That's so close. You

11:07

almost got in there. I was hand grabbing it. Too bad.

11:11

Early bird gets the worm, Paul. That's true.

11:13

And I love worms. Yummy. I

11:15

think I'm a bird and I love to eat worms. I

11:18

had a duck in here recently. A guy who

11:20

thought he was a duck. Anyway, long story. Weird.

11:23

Now, Mr. Wainwright, you

11:26

have a new record coming out.

11:28

Yes. You have made your yearly

11:30

pilgrimage to this program in

11:34

order to... Promote. And

11:36

sing songs and celebrate. Yes, celebrate the

11:39

new release. Yes. And

11:41

tell us about this record. I imagine

11:44

it's round. Yeah.

11:52

You got him. You

11:54

didn't expect this to be such a tough interview. But the

11:56

download is in any particular shape at all. Well,

11:59

I don't know. these kids today they don't

12:01

even buy these. Those zeros around in

12:04

the ones and zeros. That's true. You know? I should

12:06

not have gotten high before this. Really?

12:09

Am I freaking you out right now? Well, it's freaking me out a

12:11

little bit. But what is the,

12:13

I don't know, it's kind

12:15

of a spoiler in my opinion but I guess

12:17

we'll allow it, but what is the title of

12:19

this record? Haven't Got the Blues and then in

12:21

parenthesis, yet. And

12:24

this implying that at some point you will have

12:26

the blues or you have had the blues in

12:28

the past or you will

12:30

return to the blues. The last record

12:32

that I made was called Older Than

12:34

My Old Man now. I think we

12:36

might have spoken about that. We talked

12:38

a lot about it. It was sort

12:40

of your, I am... Death and Decay

12:42

Opus. I didn't want to say it.

12:44

So this is my depression opus. The

12:46

new one. Wait, so you actually deal,

12:48

you have some steering about it. There

12:51

are the title track which I'm going to play for you

12:53

shortly. Oh boy. Can

12:55

you hear my hands rubbing

12:57

together in anticipation? I'm excited

13:00

too. Hey, it's radio. And

13:05

this is another song called Depression Blues. There are

13:07

other things. There's a song on the record about

13:09

alternate side of the street parking. Oh

13:11

good. I mean

13:13

after all you do Death and Decay.

13:16

Where can you go but alternate side

13:18

of the street parking? No fire days.

13:20

That's in my neighborhood. That's the sign.

13:22

Sure, absolutely. Paul

13:25

asked a question to Loudon. Loudon,

13:30

did you write the songs you performed

13:32

on the MASH television program? I

13:34

did. Although throughout

13:37

my career people have always said,

13:39

did you write the theme songs for

13:42

MASH? Suicide is painless. God, I wish I had

13:44

written the themes. Johnny Mandel. But

13:46

I wrote about four songs for them including

13:49

a song about, you know,

13:51

they had an episode for instance about

13:53

Douglas MacArthur coming to visit. That's right.

13:55

And I didn't even really

13:57

know who Douglas MacArthur was and they stuck

13:59

me in a room with... with a Manila

14:01

envelope full of Douglas MacArthur biographical

14:04

materials, and I had to come up with a song. And they have to

14:06

stick you in a room. I mean, can't

14:08

you just peruse that, your leisure? He would've gotten away. Well,

14:10

they gave me a room with pencils and

14:15

a yellow legal pad, I remember. Did they take your

14:17

shoelaces out? No,

14:19

they trusted me. But

14:22

I had to come up with, I wrote songs for the

14:24

show. I have a

14:26

follow-up. Yes. Have you

14:28

ever met a surgeon who plays the

14:30

guitar? Boy. Knowingly.

14:35

Wait, so, and have you ever met one

14:37

who does not know they play

14:39

the guitar and does it in their sleep? No, you

14:41

misunderstand. I, well,

14:43

you know what, that's

14:45

a good question too. Hey,

14:47

it's not bad. I've met doctors who've

14:50

played the guitar, but

14:52

a surgeon would want to protect his or her hands.

14:54

That's what I was thinking. Yes. So

14:56

you don't want calluses on your

14:59

fingertips when you're opening up some

15:02

thing. And you can cut yourself on

15:05

guitar strings. You can, particularly when you

15:07

change them. You can, yeah, so probably.

15:10

Have you ever, I'm sorry, have you ever

15:12

been tuning and then the string snaps and

15:14

hits you in the face? And then my

15:16

eyes pop down. Don't

15:19

do that, you'll poke your eye out. My mother used

15:21

to say that when I started playing. I'm still waiting

15:23

for the answer to my question. Oh, do I apologize,

15:25

please? Have you ever met a surgeon

15:27

who plays the guitar in his sleep? Geez,

15:30

I know is

15:32

the answer to that. That's all I wanted to know.

15:38

I would imagine a surgeon would only want to play

15:40

one song like a surgeon over

15:42

and over. I can't believe that there aren't surgeons who

15:44

don't play the guitar though. There has to be, if

15:46

you're a surgeon, you play the guitar, please write in.

15:48

Sure, there you go. That's a little, that's kind of

15:50

a compromise. But they don't sound as good. Don't

15:54

tell Leonard Cohen that. He

15:57

loves an island string guitar. Also, isn't

15:59

a lot of. flamenco music done on

16:01

nylon string guitars? Primarily

16:03

all of it.

16:05

Most of it.

16:08

Fantastic. We'll be

16:10

back. You had a follow-up,

16:12

Paul? He had his follow-up. You

16:14

want another follow-up? I have another follow-up. I'm

16:16

happy to keep following up. Flamenco dancers are

16:19

their outfits often made of nylon. Ooh.

16:23

We just walked in. Let's talk to

16:25

her. Hola.

16:28

Here we go. Hey, so are your

16:30

outfits made of nylon? Ossi. Okay, thanks.

16:33

That's all we wanted to know. Adios. Oh,

16:35

there she goes. What a

16:37

lovely lady. Yeah. Answered our questions right away. Sounds

16:40

like she was waiting for it. I

16:42

never knew if you mentioned a flamenco dancer, one

16:44

would appear. Yeah. Oh,

16:47

she's back. Hola. Oh, no. Oh, it's

16:50

her. Yo soy un flamenco

16:52

dancer. Wait, is this Chupacabra? No. Oh,

16:54

sorry. I am a different guy. You

16:57

sound exactly like him. Do

16:59

I? Or do I sound a

17:02

little more masculine? Oh, that's

17:04

true. Flamenco

17:06

dancer, we need you to leave at this point. All

17:08

right, goodbye. Adios. Your

17:11

music needs to play, I think. I am still here. Oh,

17:14

goodbye, my friend. Back into his own dimension.

17:17

His own dimension. All

17:19

right, we need to return to speak. We can talk about

17:22

MASH all day, but we need to talk about this new

17:24

record. Oh, okay. Okay, I haven't got the blues yet, is

17:27

the title of it. That's all I know. You want to

17:29

hear the title track? I haven't got the blues parentheses yet.

17:33

Close parentheses. Okay, I do want to hear the title track.

17:35

I want to talk a little bit more about the record.

17:37

Let's talk some more about it, though. Let's ratchet up the

17:39

dramatic. I also want to hear the title track, and I

17:41

also want to talk some more about it. This

17:44

record is not out yet. Not yet.

17:46

I'm sorry, not out parentheses yet. End

17:49

parentheses. But

17:52

it will be out at some point. That's

17:55

fair to say, right? Yes, it's out

17:57

in September, I believe. September 9th is the... information

18:00

I have at my disposal, and I am

18:02

not afraid to release that information. September

18:05

9th, the, not

18:08

the Tuesday after Labor Day, certainly, so if

18:10

you're coming down off of

18:12

your Labor Day blues, you

18:15

know, you have a week. You have a week to

18:17

get it after that. But after that, all bets are

18:19

off. How hard did the

18:21

Labor Day blues hit you every year? Oh, it

18:24

just, it's so tough. I would so much

18:27

rather be at work. There's

18:29

something about honoring our

18:31

nation's working men and women

18:33

that just brings me down. And

18:36

it's like... Is that what it is? Is it honoring

18:38

people who work, or is it a day recognizing unions

18:41

and the like? Well, it was originally for,

18:43

it was a date that the government had

18:45

created for women to have babies. They're

18:48

all supposed to have babies on this one day? Yeah,

18:50

yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And nobody went along with it.

18:52

And they used to throw, they used to imprison women.

18:54

They used to put them in jail. Well, it's very

18:56

difficult to try to time that exactly. I mean, you

18:59

have to have sex on New Year's Eve. Exactly.

19:01

Well, why wouldn't you? Right?

19:03

Sure, but a lot of people had too much champagne.

19:05

They went to sleep before they could have sex. Well,

19:07

that's on them. They were given a whole weekend to

19:10

have this baby. That's true. And they had one night

19:12

where all they had to do was get drunk, have

19:14

sex. Hola!

19:17

Oh, she's back. Did you not have sex?

19:19

Oh, hi, someone here! Hahaha!

19:23

You have to go away. We're in the middle of an

19:25

interview with Mr. Wainwright. Mmm, not yours. Where's

19:29

that music? You need to go back. Goodbye!

19:33

So, Mr. Wainwright, this comes

19:35

out September 9th, by

19:39

my clock, of the year of our Lord, 2014. How

19:42

many tracks are on this record? Gee,

19:45

I think this is 14. 14?

19:48

You're really loading it up. Yeah. I like it. You know, a

19:50

lot of people put nine songs on a

19:52

record these days. You know?

19:54

I'm old school. It's gotta be double digits.

19:56

Yeah, and you know what? Like, at least

19:58

10, right? At least. You know, what

20:01

is bonus tracks to yeah, how many bonus

20:03

tracks to bonus tracks to so is it?

20:06

14 plus 2 or is it 12 or 8 plus 2

20:09

2 bonus tracks you can download them Oh

20:11

my goodness. Where from where from where from

20:13

wherever the you download that stuff Ether

20:18

and what did what separates these tracks do

20:20

they fit in thematically or are they goof

20:22

arounds? Well,

20:25

good question What

20:27

is what you know how sometimes someone

20:29

will put a bonus up They'll

20:33

put a bonus track on a record like well, this doesn't

20:35

fit in with a record You

20:37

know, so thing thing is that I'm singing the

20:39

bonus tracks in addition to the songs on the

20:41

record Oh, there is a connection very good the

20:43

theme. It's a very sort of loud and Wayne

20:45

right? It's a loud Wayne Wright thematically

20:49

Thing now we've spoken about this on the show

20:51

before I don't like To hear

20:54

titles of songs because I don't like to be influenced

20:56

about what I'm supposed to think about us You're

20:58

a wait for that title Yeah You know I don't

21:00

want to be sitting around knowing in advance what

21:02

the song is about or what the songwriter is trying

21:04

to intend to say To me I like to

21:06

discover it on my own. How do you feel about

21:09

that? I never even thought about

21:11

that I think that every track every CD should

21:13

be just track one track to track three track

21:15

four track five And

21:18

that even there I don't like it because it's like

21:20

what you're trying to tell me how to seek how

21:22

I should listen Your record in what order? Song

21:25

should be played, you know, I don't know what about

21:27

album titles. No, like Chicago

21:29

Gently not Chicago one Chicago to see I

21:31

don't even like that because I prefer to

21:34

play my Chicago albums You know in whatever

21:36

sequence I like sometimes I'll play 14 then

21:38

I'll go back to two You'll load them

21:40

all into your mp3 player Sure,

21:43

my 46 disc changer and it's and

21:45

it's all just blank tracks You don't know what

21:47

you're gonna don't know what it is And then

21:49

I'll discover it as it goes along and go.

21:51

Oh my god The only problem there is if

21:53

I really like something it's impossible to find it.

21:55

Yeah I worry sometimes that you're on

21:58

the edge of a psychotic break. Oh, thank you So

22:03

what else can you tell us about

22:05

this record? Why make more

22:07

records? I

22:11

don't know. It's a habit I've gotten

22:13

into. I've made 26 records

22:15

and I asked myself that, why

22:18

am I doing this again? Nobody buys these

22:20

things and

22:23

then you have to go out and trick someone into giving

22:25

you the money to make them. I'm

22:27

running out of people to do that. Do you have investors?

22:29

How does this work now? Or is it a label? I

22:32

almost broke down and did a Kickstarter

22:34

thing, but then I was

22:36

able to trick somebody else. Who's this

22:38

person who's been tricked? I can't say it

22:40

because I don't want to be dropped by

22:42

the label before the album even comes out.

22:44

But some wealthy eccentric millionaire? No, it

22:47

was just a little record label that

22:49

hadn't heard of me and didn't know

22:52

how badly my sales had gone. Well

22:57

look, here's what I want to

22:59

impart upon the listeners of this

23:01

program. We have musicians on occasionally.

23:03

We just had Twin Shadow on

23:05

a few weeks back and

23:09

you got to go out and buy their records

23:12

if they're on the show. That's why they're

23:14

here and we need to do something called

23:16

the CBB bump. I think that

23:18

this has to be your best-selling record of

23:20

all time to prove that it's worth it

23:23

for you to come to this show program.

23:25

I almost called it. Boy, that's putting on

23:27

airs. I would say that if it's not

23:30

Loudon's best-selling record of all time, that

23:32

makes you a failure. Yeah, it is.

23:34

That reflects poorly on you. Hey, I'll

23:36

accept that. So what we all

23:39

need you to do is on September 9th, immediately

23:42

download this entire record. The entire thing, not just one

23:44

song. Although one song is okay. You can't rip files

23:46

or anything. You have to pay money to do that.

23:49

You have to actually pay money. You pay money to do

23:51

it. Go out there or go to your local CD shore.

23:56

Sure. The old

23:58

CD shore. Up in Ventura. Ahoy

24:00

there! Wait, how do

24:03

you, are you, do you be looking for CDs?

24:06

Yes, scurvy Dave. Wailing

24:09

songs. But

24:12

all of you buy this and prove to

24:14

Mr. Wainwright here like, oh wow, this is

24:16

it. You know, and then, and so someone

24:18

else paid for it. Did they give you

24:21

an advance? They

24:23

gave me an advance to make the record. So that

24:25

covers the cost of making the record. And then you

24:27

get to keep a little at the end. I like

24:29

that a little something something. If you don't spend as

24:31

much as, okay, I like it, I like it. Cocaine.

24:35

Yeah, cocaine money. Do

24:38

you get paid in cocaine nowadays? Not anymore. In

24:41

the early 70s we were mostly paid in cocaine.

24:43

Oh my gosh, they put you in that room

24:45

with all those files. Legal pads.

24:48

Legal pads, pencils and one mound of cocaine.

24:51

So they'd have at it. And

24:54

your box set was

24:56

just out a

24:59

few years back, right before your last record, which

25:01

is great. It's a four CD, was it? I

25:03

think it's five CDs. Five CDs. Just

25:05

a great career spanning box set if people want

25:07

to know exactly what you're about and the breadth

25:09

of your career. And now

25:11

these recent two records are not covered on that box

25:13

set. So here's what I would say. You can put

25:15

it on the end of that box

25:17

set, all five CDs of it, listen to his entire career

25:19

and then make your own best ofs the

25:22

last two records and put it on at the

25:24

end of that box set in one playlist. You

25:26

got something there. And definitely take the time to

25:29

go into your iTunes, erase the

25:31

titles of all the tracks. Yes,

25:34

definitely. Yeah. No matter how long

25:36

it takes. Make

25:38

it a weekend project. Make it your Labor Day project. I

25:40

have to say, I'm an iTunes master. You

25:43

can select all and

25:45

then do Apple I for information and

25:47

then erase every single track at the

25:49

same time. It would take you exactly,

25:51

I would say, 60 seconds to

25:53

do. You don't need a weekend. That's longer than

25:55

I would think. Well, I mean, because it'll probably

25:58

you'll get the spinning wheel then. for a little

26:00

bit while the works on it. Oh, the beach

26:02

ball. Oh, the old beach ball. Which is a

26:04

fun reminder of summer when computers don't work. All

26:09

right, I think we've... anything else you want to say

26:11

about this record? Not a damn thing. All right, I

26:13

love it. Coming out September 9th, everyone buy

26:15

it. I'm sick of thinking about it. This

26:17

is the title track. We're gonna

26:19

hear it. Are you ready to play? Yeah.

26:22

And we're gonna go to break after this.

26:24

This is Loud and Wainwright III with Haven't

26:26

Got the Blues Yet. My

26:54

woman hasn't left me yet and

26:56

is a cleaning lady there. I'm

27:03

knocking back the Chardonnay, popping

27:06

Zoloft too. Got a

27:08

lot of free time, I don't

27:10

know what to do. I haven't

27:12

got the blues yet. I'm

27:16

just a little down, I

27:18

feel like Emmet Kelly. You

27:20

know that Mopey Circus Climb.

27:33

Haven't got the blues yet, but I admit

27:36

I'm in the dumps. Everyone

27:38

else is cheerful. I got

27:40

a bad case in the grumps. Oh, look

27:43

at my living room, my heart again around.

27:49

As for my composure, it's in the

27:52

lost and found. I

27:57

went to see a doctor, actually. therapist.

28:02

He said, blame it on your

28:04

parents, son. They make you feel

28:06

like this. I

28:09

kind of sort of loathe myself.

28:11

Let me count the ways. I

28:14

haven't got the blues yet, but

28:16

I'm excreting my laze. I

28:28

haven't got the blues yet, but it

28:31

probably won't be long, cause I'm feeling

28:33

kind of bluish. That's

28:35

why I wrote this song. My

28:40

life isn't tragic, but it's still a dog on

28:42

shame. I'm not the man

28:44

I used to be, but we're

28:46

genetically the same. I like

28:53

to wallow in it when I

28:55

take a dive or dip. I

28:58

suppose if I was English, I'd have

29:00

a stiff upper lip. I

29:03

haven't got the blues yet. I'm

29:06

just a little low, but

29:08

if and when I really get them, you're gonna be

29:11

the first to know. I'm just

29:13

a licky supertanker. I

29:15

got a lot of

29:17

oil to spill. I'm

29:20

feeling sorry for

29:31

myself, but if

29:33

I don't, who will? I got

29:35

something that on we going on.

29:51

Very nice. Very nice. Thank you very

29:53

much. Thank you. Well, I'm

29:55

depressed now. I don't want to

29:58

continue with the show. That's our show. Oh,

30:00

come on. Hey. Tell you what, we have to take a

30:02

break. When we come back, we'll have more loud, and Paul,

30:04

I know you have to go, but it's been great seeing

30:07

you. Yeah, it's been great seeing you. It's been a while,

30:09

by the way. It's been a while since I've seen you.

30:11

All right, so let's take a break. When we come back,

30:13

we'll have more loud, and after this... Comedy

30:20

bing-bong, we are back. Loud

30:22

and Wainwright the third just treated us with

30:25

a song, titular...

30:27

by the way, and I'm gonna keep saying

30:30

titular. It's a beautiful word. Nice

30:32

titulars. It's a beautiful word, isn't it?

30:35

The more people say titular instead

30:37

of eponymous, the happier I am.

30:40

The titular track from Haven't

30:42

Caught the Blues yet, we

30:44

just heard, and it's

30:46

an honorable profession, isn't

30:48

it, being a songwriter? It

30:51

is. Bringing joy to the world. We'll provide a

30:53

service. I like this. My

30:55

favorite songwriter is the guy who wrote Joy to

30:57

the World. How

31:00

about the one that wrote I Like to Make the World

31:02

Sing? Is that what he would like to do? Write

31:06

the songs that make the whole world. Oh, Barry Manilow.

31:08

I mean, maybe he sang that one. He didn't write

31:10

it. What about I Like to Move It, Move It?

31:12

Do you know that song? I

31:14

don't know that song. How does that go? I like to Move It, Move

31:16

It. What about M.C. Hammer? You Can't

31:18

Touch This. Do you like that song? I do like that.

31:21

You Can't Touch This. It's good. And it was right. He

31:23

was right about

31:27

it. You couldn't touch it. What's

31:29

your favorite song? Blowing

31:37

in the wind comes to mind for some

31:39

great reason. I don't know why. Did you

31:41

want to be a songwriter of Bob Dylan's

31:43

ILC? When you were starting out, did you

31:45

want to be sort of that kind of

31:47

folk artist? Well,

31:49

I suppose when everybody did, you

31:52

know, in the beginning, he

31:55

was pretty great. I remember

31:57

seeing him in 1960, probably at

32:00

the Newport Folk Festival. And

32:02

it was pretty much of an earth-shattering experience. Are

32:04

you one of the people who, when he plugged

32:07

in, booed him and shouted at him? No, I

32:09

was there. Judas! I was there. You weren't one

32:11

of the guys who shouted? Really? No, I- You

32:13

can admit it. No, I loved it. Really?

32:16

I thought that- A

32:19

little bit of revisionist history going on here. As

32:22

a matter of fact, when Pete Seeger took

32:24

the axe and tried to chop the

32:27

electrics to, you know the story of him

32:29

trying to pull out the plug to stop.

32:32

I wrestled Pete Seeger. You

32:34

wrestled him to the ground? Wow! Right.

32:36

And held him down so that Bob could finish

32:38

I want to make a movie about this. This

32:40

is amazing. All right, very good.

32:42

Well, you know, speaking of songwriters, what a wonderful

32:45

profession it is. We have one of the best

32:47

here with us. I don't know if you've ever

32:49

met this gentleman, but he has been

32:53

knighted for his songwriting, which is- Me

32:56

dear. He is a lord.

32:59

He is from across the pond, as

33:01

they say. As I say and you

33:03

say and we say. Lord

33:05

Andrew Lloyd Webber. Composer

33:08

of songs from Joseph

33:11

and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoats. And

33:13

the Amazing Jack the Colored Dreamcoats.

33:15

To whatever he's doing now. Starlight

33:18

Express, of course. Wolderskate and Trains.

33:20

Ah. God, have you ever

33:22

seen Starlight Express? No, I went

33:24

to see Cats, though. Cats! I

33:27

took my kids who were very young then

33:29

and I was

33:31

so proud of them because we came out of, and

33:33

it was when it was a new show. Did

33:36

the children enjoy it? They didn't, actually. Well, they

33:38

shouldn't. It's not for children. No, it isn't. It's

33:40

not for anyone, really. Well, it's

33:43

for cats. You made

33:45

a show just for cats. I wrote it

33:47

for cats. Okay. It makes more sense. Of

33:49

course it does. That would explain all the

33:51

makeup that they were wearing. Yes. That would

33:53

appeal to cats. Exactly. To see those whiskers

33:55

trembling as they down. about

34:00

the cats would go crazy. It

34:02

was meant to be a precursor to those laser pointers. Wait,

34:06

it was meant as a precursor to

34:08

the laser pointers that you knew would

34:10

be invented? Well, I knew some visionary

34:12

would come up with something to entertain

34:14

cats and finally found them for hours

34:16

and hours and catch the

34:19

musical. Based on old Possum's book of

34:21

practical cats by rap inventor

34:24

T.S. Eliot was meant as

34:27

a plaything

34:29

for cats that they would enjoy

34:33

the hunt, the thrill of chasing after

34:35

people dressed as cats. The actors were

34:38

meant to be chased through the theater

34:40

by cats. Yes, that's why they're all

34:42

too lithe and athletic. Can

34:45

I ask, you said something, you slipped something in there,

34:47

which I've barely heard. Yes, I did. But it piqued

34:50

my interest and loud, maybe it piqued yours. Oh, I

34:52

see. But you said T.S. Eliot, inventor

34:54

of rap? Yes, I dare say

34:56

that's the case. What

34:58

is this, inventor of rap? Yes, T.S.

35:01

Eliot. Are you talking about hip-hop the

35:03

musical genre? Yes, well, it's an American

35:05

art form and T.S. Eliot to the

35:07

best of my knowledge is American. That's

35:09

right. And he invented rap. He

35:12

was the inventor of it. Of course, it was pioneered

35:15

much later than that by such American

35:17

hip-hop artist as Deborah Harry. The

35:22

end. The end. I've

35:26

never heard that theory or theorem before.

35:28

Well, you've heard it now. What's the

35:30

difference between a theory and a theorem?

35:32

A theory is something

35:35

that you think, I

35:37

have a theory about that. I think that

35:39

this happened. A theorem is when you say

35:41

the same thing, but you're wearing a laboratory

35:43

coat. Very good. So,

35:46

have you ever heard of this loud and vin I

36:00

do love a putter. Oh really? What do you do when

36:02

you have a putter? I put

36:04

my hand to my dressing gown and I

36:06

just wander around from room to room in

36:08

my mansion and flip

36:10

through magazines, check emails. That's

36:14

wonderful life. What time do you wake up at

36:16

night? Typically I wake

36:18

up around what I am

36:22

and then I'll have a good putter for

36:25

about eight hours or so and

36:27

then I... It's a third of

36:29

your day. Yes, that's right. Yeah. That's

36:32

right. And how long do you

36:34

sleep? I take little part of the expression.

36:37

Cap naps. Throughout

36:39

the day, as most geniuses do.

36:41

Micronaps. Micronaps. During which

36:43

I make many micro expressions.

36:46

Very good. As I dream of chasing the

36:48

postman. You're making a lot right now, by

36:50

the way. Yes I am. My

36:53

face is very expressive. That's why

36:55

I'm a lord. So, is

36:58

this why you came is just to

37:00

postulate that theorem that TSLA it is

37:02

the inventor of rap? No,

37:05

because as many know, it's

37:07

been in the news rather

37:09

recently that I'm planning on

37:12

updating Cats the Musical. And

37:14

this time hopefully a bunch of cats will come. Okay,

37:17

entertainment news you mean? Entertainment news. Well, not the

37:19

regular news. What are the kind of news is

37:21

there, dear boy? Bedgarthi.

37:25

Hashtag. So, heshugjag,

37:27

Bedgarthi. I'm rebooting

37:30

Cats the Musical. Wonderful.

37:38

And I am adding, I'm updating

37:41

it a bit by making Rum

37:43

Tum Tugger, a very

37:45

curious cat. Oh, I love my

37:48

favorite character. Why is he your favorite?

37:50

He's just, he's a scoundrel. He's a

37:52

perverse scoundrel. Yes,

37:54

he's a pervert. He's a

37:57

disgusting creature. Yes. He's

37:59

an alley cat. He's an alley cat. The

38:01

worst kind of cat, the lowest kind of

38:03

cat. He doesn't have a home. He eats

38:05

fish skeletons and so forth. Yes, he's out

38:07

of garbage cans that have been overturned. Yes,

38:10

you throw a clock at him because he's

38:12

making a terrible racket on the fence with

38:15

his buddy's Heathcliff. Garfield.

38:17

Garfield. Yes.

38:20

Anyway, he's

38:22

going to rap in cats because

38:25

there's something about him that's very, dare

38:27

say, urban in addition to being urban.

38:30

And I think that he is very well suited for rap.

38:32

And then I thought, well, bless my buttons. Why don't I

38:35

do that for all of my musicals? Add

38:37

a rap song into each one? Insert a rap

38:39

song into each one. Well, that is very timely.

38:41

I mean, it's very timely.

38:43

Rap music has never been more

38:45

popular. I think rap music

38:47

has finally started to catch on. That's

38:50

true. Loudon, have you ever done a rap song? Yeah,

38:54

I did. Of

38:56

course, or someone else's? No, I wrote a song

38:58

called Y2K, which was more or less a rap

39:01

song. But of course, Y2K didn't happen. Do

39:04

you still play it? No, not

39:06

anymore. I've forgotten it. That's too bad.

39:09

Was it like Y2K? Y2K? Why

39:12

is this coming? I can't say. I

39:15

say this rather good. It's pretty

39:17

good, actually. I heard it the other day. I

39:20

mean, I was on iTunes listening to my stuff.

39:23

I was going to say, where did you hear your stuff?

39:27

That makes me feel lissolune. I

39:30

was just listening. Was that part of your

39:32

putter session? Yeah, I spent about a third

39:34

of my day listening to my old material

39:36

just to cheer myself up. But only the

39:38

iTunes 30 seconds that they'll let you play

39:40

without downloading it? Oh, yeah, that's

39:42

all I need is 30 seconds. That's all it

39:45

takes. That's all it takes. I get it. I

39:47

am someone, I think to myself. I did that.

39:50

I did a rap song. I listened to samples

39:53

of Evita today. Really? Don't

39:55

cry for me. That was a good one. That's

39:57

right. That was a good one. You

39:59

get a good chunk of the chorus with the... previews.

40:01

Did you write that about the World Cup this year?

40:03

Yes I did. Very good. I wrote it about the

40:05

World Cup this year. It's 25 years ago. That's right.

40:08

Presentrially prescient. Thank you.

40:11

Words. Word. That's something

40:13

you should use in your rap songs. Word. A

40:15

lot of people in rap say word all the

40:17

time. Word. Word to your mother. Yeah. Hey

40:20

you've been studying up. Did your

40:22

Y2K rap Loudoun have word to

40:24

your That's

40:26

an oversight. All

40:29

right so you're going to slip rap

40:32

songs into every single one of your musicals.

40:34

Yes. This is amazing. Can you tell us

40:36

any examples? Well I'm starting with of course

40:38

where it all started Jesus Christ Superstar. Ah

40:40

very good. It's the story of Jesus Christ and

40:43

how he became a superstar. I

40:46

like to think he was a superstar at the beginning

40:48

of that musical and it was all about the fall

40:50

the come down. Oh like a

40:52

sort of star is born. Sure yeah or

40:55

like Boogie Nights. Well

40:57

Boogie Nights is the rise and then the fall.

40:59

You don't know Boogie Nights? No. What is that?

41:01

Loudoun do you know Boogie Nights? It's

41:04

a movie isn't it? It is a movie. Yeah. What's

41:07

your favorite movie? Oh it's not an annual

41:09

event. Join us

41:11

for Boogie Nights. A nightly event. Join

41:14

us for Boogie Nights. I didn't know it was a big day. They

41:16

did it in Six Flags. You

41:18

ever been to Six Flags Loudoun? Never. Really?

41:21

Have you ever been on a roller coaster? But I was in

41:23

Disneyland the year that it opened in 1956. You

41:25

don't say. Were you there when Walt Disney like

41:28

opened it up for the very first day? Were

41:31

you booing him like you booed Bob Dylan? No I

41:33

wasn't there that day but I was there the very

41:35

first year that it opened. Wow. Is it true that

41:38

it's in their teagie room where

41:40

they have the the various tropical birds

41:43

they sing a little song to you with animatronic?

41:45

In the teagie teagie teagie room. Yes is that

41:47

how it goes? Yes I believe so. Is it

41:49

true that in the early days that

41:52

the little songs would end with get

41:54

out jewels? Wow.

41:59

I'm having a I sense memory now, I

42:01

think that's true. But

42:03

I've been holding it

42:05

in for 50 years. It's

42:08

terrible. I think it was explained to Mr. Disney

42:10

later that that perhaps was not a

42:12

good thing to include. Right, yeah. He's like, it's

42:14

just the way I feel. Exactly, and the way

42:16

these birds feel. He tried to pass it off

42:18

on the birds. Oh sure, yeah. Oh sure, Walt,

42:20

to tell the birds. It's how the birds feel.

42:25

And what is, you've never been on a

42:27

roller coaster or you have been on a roller coaster?

42:29

No, I've been on a roller coaster. Do you call

42:32

them rolly coasters or rolling? No, I call them roller

42:34

coasters, which is what they... That is what, that's really

42:36

the proper name. And which roller coasters have you been

42:38

on? Can you count them off on one hand? This

42:40

one in Rye, New York, near where

42:42

I grew up, called Playland. All right. Then

42:45

I went, I used to go to this place in

42:47

Rhode Island called Musquamocket.

42:50

And when you were on a ride, do you

42:52

lift your hands up or do you keep them

42:54

tight on that bar? I

42:57

would say I kind of

42:59

hold, keep my hands in. Keep your hands in, yeah. And

43:01

do you sit next to someone or do you like the

43:03

whole thing to yourself? Well, I haven't

43:06

done this in years and years. Really? I

43:08

have a question. Are you

43:10

no longer interested in my story? No, I'll get

43:13

back to it. He's having a follow up with

43:15

me, do you mind? We seem to be talking

43:17

about rolling coasters. But what I'm wondering is, do

43:19

you think you'll ever get back on one before

43:21

you pass on? Before I die, which won't be

43:23

long? To the next, whatever

43:27

dimension is next out there. Which

43:29

may be filled with the roll coasters. What

43:32

a way to go though. I mean, if

43:34

I do get, decide to choose a way

43:36

to kill myself. You hope it derails and

43:38

just. Well, or I could stand

43:40

up. That's true. Or jump out even. Well, you know,

43:42

they make those safety bars now where you can't even

43:45

lift them up anymore. But sometimes there's ways around it.

43:47

I'll talk to you after the show. Do you know

43:49

how I'm going to die? How's that? I'm

43:52

going to ride a rocket into so

43:54

Richard Branson's hot air balloon. That's

43:56

right. Taking us both out in the

43:59

process. You have a. about him don't you? I can't

44:01

sound him. Yeah. I met him.

44:03

He was a nice guy. I thought so. Yeah, great

44:05

hair. He's only a sir. So,

44:08

uh, and what's the difference by the way

44:10

between a sir and a lord? What

44:13

is the difference between addressing someone as

44:15

sir and talking to almighty God?

44:17

Okay, that's true. All

44:20

right, I want to get back to you. Oh, do

44:22

you? Lord Andrew. This is a treat. Because

44:25

I want to know about these hip-hop

44:27

songs that you're putting into Jesus Christ

44:29

Superstar. Well, you know, in Jesus Christ

44:31

Superstar, uh, the bloke who steals the

44:34

show is their Judas. And

44:36

he's got very showy songs that I thought, well,

44:38

that's a bit unfair to Jesus. He wasn't the

44:40

savior after all. Why not

44:44

throw him a bone as it were? Why not

44:46

give him the rapping song?

44:48

Okay. And it sort

44:50

of the start out the show is as

44:52

a sort of prologue. So the

44:54

audience knows, oh, I see what this fellow is all about.

44:56

I don't know. So this is going to be the first

44:59

song that they see. Is this

45:01

new hip-hop song you're writing? That's correct. Okay.

45:03

Uh, I wonder, I don't,

45:06

I don't wish presume. Would

45:08

you mind if I were to, for

45:12

lack of a better term? What are you going to say? This

45:14

is spit some rhymes. Of

45:17

course. Of course. Do you, how do you

45:19

need a beat of some sort or? I would take a beat

45:21

if you have one. Do we have anything? Uh, yeah,

45:25

we have our freestyle rap competition beat. Oh,

45:27

that'll do. All right. Well, uh, let's hear

45:29

a little bit of this. This is going

45:32

to be. Opening song to Jesus Christ superstar.

45:34

Oh my goodness. Here we go. Yes,

45:40

here we go. I'm about to

45:42

drop some religion. Oh, you eat up his

45:44

rixes. Well,

45:49

my name is Jesus Christ. And I'm here

45:51

to say it's fun to rap in a

45:53

spiritually ambiguous way. Got a best

45:55

mate. Neymar Judas had occasion

45:57

recently to say to him, you just.

46:00

You'll betray me to the fence, see

46:02

if I ever turn your stones to

46:04

breads. I'm just a young G from

46:06

Nazareth. Now some front and far

46:08

assees wish to put me to death. And for

46:10

what? For befriending? Or prostitute? Or

46:13

for giving evil temple money lenders the boot? All

46:16

I'm trying to do is rap to

46:18

folks about love, and to question the

46:20

design of our god above. Now it's

46:22

crucifixion time so I've got to jet.

46:24

Buy Loud and Wainwright's album, haven't got

46:26

the blues yet. Aww! Worked in a

46:28

plug. Wow! So you worked in a

46:30

plug. Hello composer. To Loudon's new

46:33

record. Yes, off the top of the

46:35

doom, as it were. And this is

46:37

going to be in every production of

46:39

Jesus Christ Superstar from now on. That's

46:41

correct. Wow. From now until

46:43

the earth is destroyed. Will

46:46

they update it with all of Loudon's successive

46:48

album? No, I'm sorry. Okay. That's the best

46:50

I could do. I hope it's

46:52

enough, Twill Serve. It will. It'll be great.

46:55

Mmm, well that's fantastic and you know... I

46:57

know. I do have to say it spoils

46:59

the plot a little bit. What, the

47:01

bit about the crucifixion? Yeah, about Judas selling him

47:03

out to the FBI, was it? The Feds. The

47:06

Feds. The equivalent of the FBI,

47:08

I suppose, back in those days. I don't

47:10

know whether, you know, Israel was

47:12

a federation at that point, but... Well, it's

47:14

Poetical Language Jail, boys. Okay, alright, very good,

47:17

very good. You know, hey, it was

47:19

pretty good. Oh, pretty good.

47:21

You know, I don't know. How

47:23

many drafts Loudon of songs do you

47:25

do? Do you just like lay it out and that's it,

47:27

or do you do, you know, several drafts of it? Do

47:30

you try to improve it as it goes along? I try

47:32

to make it improve it, yeah. How?

47:34

How? I don't understand. Don't you like to

47:36

work on it for a while or improve

47:38

it? Well, I work on it by

47:41

writing it down. And then it's done. Then it's

47:43

done. I've written it down. I did, you know.

47:45

I have the ideas. I put them pen to

47:47

paper. They stick me in a

47:49

room with a yellow legal pad, a pen, a mound of

47:51

cocaine. Right. And then when I'm done, I

47:53

have a musical. You've spoken about it on the show before.

47:56

All of your musicals are based on dreams you've had.

47:58

Yes, I work primarily on the show. I barely in

48:00

my dreams. Right. And so I dreamed up this

48:03

a raptural song about Jesus

48:05

of Nazareth. Was the Loudoun

48:07

reference in your dream? Just

48:10

a coincidence. Wow. Isn't that

48:12

funny? Isn't that strange?

48:14

It is very strange. What a queer life it

48:16

is. It truly is. How

48:18

many years left do you have on this big blue

48:20

marble? Let me see. I'm

48:23

not as young as I used to be. That's true. None

48:25

of us are. None of us are. Except for

48:27

old Benji. Benjamin Barton. A

48:30

curious case. You ever meet him? We

48:33

haven't crossed paths just yet. I

48:35

seek him out everywhere I go. I like to

48:38

think like Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan, you'll meet

48:40

one day. Did they

48:42

meet Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan? I think they

48:44

met at one point. Now, I was talking

48:47

about this recently with Simon. Paul

48:49

Bunyan. Yes. We know him as

48:51

a giant. He's a giant man. Is that correct?

48:53

He ate a lot of flapjacks. Well, yes,

48:55

of course, because of the very feeling. Stick to your ribs.

49:00

He had a best friend who was an

49:02

ox. Sure. A blue ox.

49:04

Babe. Babe, the blue ox. No,

49:06

I was just saying babe. Was

49:09

Dennis Miller a president? Yeah, I was doing

49:11

my Dennis Miller impression, babe. Was

49:14

Babe the blue ox also

49:16

a giant compared to

49:18

other oxen? Yes. Or was

49:21

he just a regular sized oxen? Ox

49:24

and he's blue. And that's

49:26

what's remarkable about him. And Paul Bunyan

49:29

is a large man, but not the

49:32

sort of Godzilla sized fellow. I think,

49:34

and this is interesting, do you know

49:36

of this story? Well, I've seen pictures

49:38

and I think Babe is a giant.

49:41

I think he's giant. He's larger than your average ox. Yes.

49:44

Which, if you were writing a screenplay about

49:46

this, the producer would probably say that's too

49:48

many coincidences. He has too many fantastical things

49:51

about him. Make him blue or make him

49:53

big. He can't be both. Exactly. Well,

49:56

Bunyan's axe was very big too. How

49:58

does he get it? Larger than any axe

50:00

you could ever- sort of like an axe

50:02

they give you a giveaway at a baseball

50:04

game. I mean, I guess that's less... It's

50:06

axe day. Come get your miniature axe. That's

50:09

less fantastic because axes, as far as I

50:11

know, are man-made. As far

50:13

as you know. So one

50:15

can surmise that either a giant man could

50:18

make a giant axe or a bunch of

50:20

tiny men could, or regular-sized men

50:22

could make... Are there tiny men in

50:24

the Paul Bunyan universe? Are there three

50:27

sizes of men? Regular size? Large

50:29

men and tiny men? Well,

50:34

I think you're thinking of Gulliver's Travels. What? Do

50:36

they ever meet? I mean, Johnny Appleseed met him.

50:38

When did they... What is this meeting between Johnny

50:40

Appleseed and Paul Bunyan? I think they met, you

50:42

know, along the road one day. I say, why

50:45

did Johnny Appleseed wear that pot on his head?

50:48

It's weird, isn't it? What was that he made of?

50:50

It's like, go plant your apples. You don't have to

50:52

wear a pot of... Was he worried about shrapnel? A

50:56

lot of people don't realize Johnny Appleseed was in the middle of World

50:59

War I. He was

51:01

gassed! He wore a gas

51:03

mask and a pot on his head. Well,

51:05

Andrew... I'm sorry. Take

51:08

your pot! I'm so sorry. My word!

51:10

I'm so sorry. I'm getting very familiar.

51:12

That's bang out of order. Okay, Lord

51:14

Webber. That was fantastic. Do you have anything

51:16

else to share with us, or is that all you wanted to come

51:18

by to speak about? I

51:20

just wanted to come by to speak

51:22

about that. Would you like to hear

51:24

another master songwriter at work? And when

51:26

I say that, I mean Loudon Wainwright

51:29

III. Oh, at least you're not

51:31

talking about Tim Rice. Why

51:33

did you stop working with him? Musical

51:38

partnerships are very delicate things. Yeah.

51:41

Loudon, were you ever in a partnership, a

51:43

duo, like an Everly Brothers type duo? No.

51:45

No. Always your own man, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

51:47

That's a way to go, isn't it? It

51:49

is. Yeah. Like Tim

51:52

Rice, that guy, what did he ever do? Yeah, he

51:54

went on to do the Lion King. Chess.

51:57

Chess. Ringo. What?

52:00

Back in my neck getting dirty and gritty.

52:02

He was one of the original rappers. Of

52:05

course he was. Props. All

52:07

right, so Loudon, do you have another

52:09

song that you'd like to play and

52:12

what is it and are you going to play it

52:14

on your guitar which is currently behind you and I

52:16

would like you to pick it up. Is there a

52:18

way, may I leave before you say the title? I

52:20

don't like to hear the titles of the song. Oh,

52:23

that's very good. Because I like to decide what the

52:25

song is about. All right, leave the room, he'll say

52:27

the title, then come back. Cheerio! May I have some

52:29

water? Oh, certainly. There's some

52:31

right there. Thank you. And

52:33

if you are making a sound effects record currently

52:36

out there at home. Go ahead and rip this

52:38

file. It's

52:42

one of those. Hopefully

52:48

you're making a sound effects record of some

52:50

water being poured while a man exhales. Make

52:54

sure to accurately title that. All right, what song

52:56

is this? Well,

53:00

did you ever hear my song Here Come the Choppers? Was

53:03

that from Mash? No, but that's

53:06

a good connection. No, I

53:08

wrote it when I lived in LA. Really? And

53:11

I'm doing the show at

53:13

some point here in town. You're doing a

53:15

show I know at Largo in October, supposedly.

53:18

But I was trying to remember this song since I was

53:20

coming back to LA. When did you write it? I wrote

53:22

it in 2005 when we were about to go back into

53:24

Iraq. We

53:29

being the George

53:31

W. Bush. Oh, not you and your family. Yeah,

53:33

no, the royal we. Okay. So

53:38

I was thinking that I would sing this. Let's

53:41

see how this goes. Up

54:04

there over Wilshire the

54:07

whirly bird zoom Above

54:10

the L-Ray circling the

54:13

conga room They

54:16

turn out the lights, pull

54:20

off the stoppers Get

54:22

off the streets now,

54:24

here come the choppers

54:31

Here come the choppers, just

54:34

when we thought we were

54:36

safe in our houses And

54:38

we couldn't get

54:41

caught, the choppers are

54:43

back They were

54:45

gone for a while, but

54:47

now we're under attack In

54:50

a miracle mile We're

54:58

together alone and there's nowhere

55:00

to go We

55:04

live in a war

55:06

55:09

This is no game

55:57

out of the store now, here

56:00

56:04

56:07

They're buzzing cuckoo Chicken

56:10

hovering over saggin

56:17

Just when you hoped that

56:19

they might call it quits

56:23

The choppers turn toward

One smart bomb

58:32

Now it's getting quiet Do

58:36

you feel the calm Remembering

58:39

those movies they made

58:41

about numb Could

58:43

this be the end of

58:46

this latest attack? Wait,

58:54

I hear the chopper

58:57

Here comes

58:59

the chopper

59:04

I hear the choppers,

59:07

they're coming back Very

59:40

nice, powerful! Maybe

59:42

the only song I've ever heard that has a

59:44

Mo Better Meaty Meatburgers reference in it. They

59:47

tore it down Mo Better! I know. Every time

59:49

I drive by and it's not that I just... I never went to it,

59:51

but I love the title. I never went to it either. Well that's why

59:53

they tore it down. I

59:56

was listening at the door. Would it have

59:58

killed you to reference who my nappy has alone?

1:00:00

That's true. Oh well. I'll try

1:00:02

to snip that in. All right, when we come

1:00:04

back, we will have more loud. I know you have to

1:00:06

go Lord Webber. Kaboom! Wow!

1:00:09

All he said was kapoof, and then we heard the

1:00:11

sound effect kapoof, and he was gone. We'll

1:00:14

be right back with more Loud and Wayne Wright III. Comedy

1:00:21

Bing Bong, we are back here with Loud and Wayne Wright III.

1:00:24

And he just played Here Come the Choppers. And

1:00:27

what record is that on? It's on a record called

1:00:29

Here Come the Choppers. Called Here Come the Choppers. Here's

1:00:31

what I want people to do. We talked about the

1:00:34

CBB bump earlier for your record. What

1:00:36

I want you to do when you're listening

1:00:38

to this right now, everyone who's listening,

1:00:40

go buy that on iTunes. Please. Probably

1:00:43

99 cents, maybe even 79. Who

1:00:45

knows? Buy that one song.

1:00:48

Don't buy anything else, even if you

1:00:50

want to. Just buy that

1:00:52

one song, and then when you get the reports

1:00:54

back of how many people bought that one song.

1:00:56

I know what a great show you have. Yeah,

1:00:58

exactly. And you'll be rich as well. So

1:01:01

everyone do that for Mr. Wayne Wright, please, if

1:01:04

that would be okay. Very good. And

1:01:06

you're going to be playing something coming

1:01:08

up at the end of the show as well. It's

1:01:10

always a treat to have you here. Great to be

1:01:13

here. Now, one thing that I wanted to know about

1:01:15

your process was...

1:01:17

A $50 process. Do

1:01:22

you write the words

1:01:24

or the music first? That question

1:01:26

is the dumbest ass question. What

1:01:30

is happening over there? You got to ask him,

1:01:32

man. What is this? What's happening? All right, get

1:01:34

in. Who is this coming into this? Wait, wait,

1:01:36

who is this? How rude. As

1:01:39

I live and breathe, it's Buddy Velastro or Velastro?

1:01:42

You got it right. I got it right. I

1:01:44

bet you got it right by accident. The

1:01:47

cake boss is here. Cake boss? Oh, hey.

1:01:49

Hey. By the way, write

1:01:51

the third. How you doing, man? My favorite

1:01:53

actor. The preacher and 40-year-old virgin. That's right.

1:01:56

Oh, my gosh. Do you know the cake boss

1:01:59

here? Yeah, we

1:02:01

met. Wasn't in San Francisco? I believe

1:02:03

we met at Jeff Ridge's Cove. Oh, very

1:02:05

nice. And we are together in, this must

1:02:07

be Los Angeles. Do you not know where

1:02:09

you are? No. I'll

1:02:12

be honest with you. Please do. I

1:02:15

accept nothing less than complete candor. I

1:02:17

was on my boat. I

1:02:19

was taking the K Crew out for

1:02:21

a fun outing. A K Crews with the

1:02:23

K Crew? Exactly! K Crews with

1:02:25

the K Crew. Okay. And,

1:02:29

you know, we were making cakes.

1:02:31

We're on the deck up there.

1:02:33

It's a big boat I got.

1:02:35

And we have a place called

1:02:37

that's as Fontant. And

1:02:40

so we're making cakes, and then all

1:02:42

of a sudden, this thick fog comes

1:02:45

over us. This was a thick fog.

1:02:47

It was like as thick as cake batter. Were you

1:02:50

able to see a jeep, a

1:02:52

burnt-out jeep, through this thick fog? Were

1:02:54

there to be one there? Let's see. It was

1:02:57

early morning. No. Okay. Well, that

1:02:59

gives me a good picture in

1:03:01

my mind. So I

1:03:03

got lost. Now, this has happened once before.

1:03:06

And I was rescued by the Coast Guard.

1:03:08

The brave men and women. Oh, I read about this.

1:03:10

What they do. Oh, did you? Yeah, I think so.

1:03:13

This was in the news, the entertainment news. What? It

1:03:17

was in the news. Yeah, it was reported upon.

1:03:20

Well, I'll probably buy just a small little outlet,

1:03:22

right? I mean... To

1:03:24

be honest, no, everyone heard about it. Everyone

1:03:26

was sending it to me on Twitter constantly. Well, it's

1:03:28

not like it was on She and Ed. Oh, yeah,

1:03:31

it was covered on the cable

1:03:33

news network. Why? Oh, garage on

1:03:35

my mouth. This is mortifying. Everybody

1:03:38

knows I'm not good as a sea captain.

1:03:41

No. I'm terrible at it.

1:03:43

You are pretty bad. I get it, see it, that

1:03:45

I'm all at sea. Yeah.

1:03:48

How often are you out there on a boat? It's

1:03:50

pretty often. Like, shit, I got the boat. We

1:03:53

go out there every weekend, and I get launched

1:03:55

every single time. Loudon, do you own a boat?

1:03:57

You're a powerful entertainer. I do own

1:03:59

a boat. Yeah. I own two boats. Two boats? They're sailboats, yeah.

1:04:01

They're sailboats, fantastic. Do you go around the world on

1:04:03

them or do you just? No, no, I just sail

1:04:05

around. Just putter around the harbor? I putter. Very

1:04:08

good. But they're not motorboats, they're sailboats. Oh, very good.

1:04:11

And you know how to do it? You do it yourself or do you hire

1:04:13

someone to do it? No, I learned it. Oh, you have two boats? Do you

1:04:15

know how to do it? What

1:04:17

kind of a question is that? Why

1:04:20

would a guy who has two boats not know

1:04:22

how to shale them? I don't know, he's a

1:04:24

rich songwriter. You can hire someone to drive them out

1:04:26

on a boat. Oh, like a boats butler? It's a

1:04:29

soon to be rich songwriter. That's true. Oh

1:04:31

boy, this is gonna be exciting. So

1:04:33

yeah, I'm sorry buddy, everyone told me

1:04:36

about this. Oh, this is embarrassing.

1:04:38

Where'd you wash up? We

1:04:40

were in the middle of the harbor

1:04:43

and we didn't wash up somewhere. The coast guard

1:04:45

came and found us. We were just stuck in

1:04:48

the fog. We look around, I'm

1:04:50

like, is this a Stephen King thing? It's

1:04:52

just a mist and this

1:04:54

giant praying man is gonna snatch us up. Or

1:04:56

is it a John Carpenter thing? The

1:04:58

Fog? What's that? That's a

1:05:01

movie. Wait, you know Stephen King's The Mist but

1:05:03

you don't know John Carpenter's The Fog? John

1:05:06

Carpenter? He directed Halloween? Not

1:05:08

the guy who vampires have modest John

1:05:10

Carpenter. Yeah, that guy. He had some

1:05:12

more successful films earlier in his career.

1:05:15

Oh, I love vampires are much. Halloween,

1:05:17

the thing. Also, it was

1:05:19

ghost of Oz I'm realizing and

1:05:21

vampires was a different movie. Well, hey,

1:05:23

and what was that Eddie Murphy vampire

1:05:26

film? Vampire of Brooklyn. It's

1:05:28

my favorite movie. Really? Yep. What's

1:05:31

your favorite movie, Loud? Tokyo

1:05:35

Story. Tokyo Story. What

1:05:37

is that? I'm trying to think of that. That's an Ozu film.

1:05:39

It's a Japanese film. Oh, are there guns

1:05:42

in it? No, there's not a

1:05:44

damn gun in it. Oh, that's good. If

1:05:46

I ever see one gun in a movie, I stand up, I walk

1:05:48

right out. Is that what inspired your

1:05:50

song, Oh Tokyo, that you sang in M.A.S.H. No,

1:05:54

it didn't. You're a fan of his

1:05:56

work in M.A.S.H? I love that shawl name

1:05:58

checks. Sashimi, clean. sheets. Socky.

1:06:01

Come on, no, come on,

1:06:03

no, come on, no. Buddy,

1:06:08

back to you. Listen,

1:06:11

I get, I keep getting lost in the

1:06:13

fog and what's terrible is that, you

1:06:16

know, the first time it happened, luckily

1:06:19

I made a rescue flare out

1:06:21

of cake. Wait,

1:06:23

how do you do that? It's complex ingredients.

1:06:26

I got, look, I got a fully stocked

1:06:29

cake kitchen onboard the book. Right. On board

1:06:31

the SS fondant. And I

1:06:33

was able to create

1:06:35

using everyday cake ingredients,

1:06:39

a flare gun. How do

1:06:41

you create the gun powder in it? It's

1:06:44

a... Cinnamon? A lot of cinnamon is involved.

1:06:46

Not too much. No, I didn't

1:06:48

want it to come alive. Okay. A

1:06:52

lot of cinnamon. You know what the secret

1:06:54

ingredient is? Shalt. Shalt. Yeah,

1:06:56

you think like cake is sweet, but you got to

1:06:58

put some salt in it. Oh my goodness. Yeah. And

1:07:00

egg whites. Don't use a real egg. Oh, okay. Yeah.

1:07:02

Why is that? Well,

1:07:05

you got to watch out. Okay, good. I thought you

1:07:07

maybe had a cake tip. Nope. No cake tip tip.

1:07:10

Just a health tip. All right,

1:07:12

very good. So Senator

1:07:14

Coast Guard comes to find us and they say,

1:07:17

anything unusual happened while you were there. And I

1:07:19

was like, why are you asking me that question

1:07:21

Coast Guard? They're like, nevermind. I never asked you

1:07:23

nothing. That's odd. Well, the next time

1:07:25

I get caught in the fog, something

1:07:28

unusual did happen. What's that? There

1:07:31

were these spectral creatures coming out

1:07:33

of the mist and

1:07:35

saying things to us. Me

1:07:37

and the rest of the cake crew on the cake

1:07:40

cruise. They

1:07:42

were saying, do

1:07:45

not trust his lies. What?

1:07:47

Who, who would they, that's what

1:07:50

I asked Scott Oxman. I said, who are you

1:07:52

talking about? Are they talking about you? Are they

1:07:54

talking about someone to you? Why would they come

1:07:56

to me and say, do not trust his lies

1:07:58

talking about me? I don't know. Have you ever?

1:08:00

heard the light cloud? This is crazy. Oh, you

1:08:03

haven't heard anything like this before? No, I

1:08:05

mean. Okay. When you say mystical creatures, what

1:08:07

did they look like? They were... They were

1:08:09

wraith-like. Skinny.

1:08:12

Shadowy? Shadowy. They look like

1:08:14

they had a

1:08:17

padded garment on, like roach. They

1:08:19

were skinny. They were like Hollywood

1:08:22

normal. Right.

1:08:25

You know what they reminded me of? Those... Helen

1:08:27

McPeele. Not

1:08:31

even the actor. But

1:08:34

the character. Yeah, that's a better reference. Is

1:08:39

she still with Harishah Ford? Probably. I hope

1:08:42

so. That guy likes his weed. He really

1:08:44

does. Whoa,

1:08:47

what are you recording? Shadowback Dragon? Just

1:08:50

be sure to rip that out. They

1:08:55

reminded me of that movie,

1:08:58

artificial intelligence, after

1:09:00

a little boy is talking to the statue under

1:09:02

water for a thousand years. Those

1:09:04

aliens that come down there? Are they aliens? Are they

1:09:06

in the future of May-Tai? Oh, they're future robots, yeah.

1:09:09

And they were like them, but with like robes on. Robes?

1:09:12

I wonder why they need to wear a robe.

1:09:14

It's like, you know,

1:09:16

sort of like angelic robes or

1:09:19

demon robes. Not like the robes you wear to put

1:09:21

her around the house. Were they matching robes? Yeah, they

1:09:23

were matching. Because this is what I don't understand. If

1:09:26

people were to see us as aliens, if aliens were

1:09:28

to come to our planet and go and try to

1:09:30

describe it, Yeah. They would say they were wearing, you

1:09:32

know, but we would all be wearing different stuff. Some

1:09:34

would have pants, some would have... Some would have robes

1:09:36

on, though. Some would have robes, especially if you come

1:09:39

in the middle of the night. But

1:09:41

why would they all... The Supreme Court

1:09:43

justices. That's true, yeah. Why did they

1:09:46

all wear matching robes? There was nine

1:09:48

of them. Wait,

1:09:50

you think these were the Supreme Court

1:09:52

justices? I'm not saying that! Okay. But

1:09:54

the one night of them, some seem

1:09:56

male, some seem female. Did anyone say

1:09:58

the word sotomayor? One

1:10:01

of them kept talking about something on his coke

1:10:03

can. Anyway,

1:10:08

they said, do not believe his

1:10:10

lies. Do not believe his lies.

1:10:12

Then that was the first time

1:10:14

that I seen them. Then

1:10:17

this motion. Did anyone else see them?

1:10:19

On your cake cruise? Cake cruise?

1:10:21

I think that, um, try

1:10:24

to remember, we talked about it afterwards, being

1:10:27

the guys, the cake crew. The

1:10:29

guys on this cake cruise? No women? Yeah,

1:10:31

it's a real guy. It's a real guy's trick.

1:10:33

The guy's wicked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it.

1:10:36

We play poker with cake cards. The cards made of

1:10:38

cake. Smoke cake cigars. Cake cards. Cake

1:10:41

cards? Yeah, you eat them. Cake cards? That's...

1:10:44

what are you doing? Nothing.

1:10:47

Strange. So,

1:10:50

um, the second time I seen them, these

1:10:52

nine spectral visitors, they

1:10:55

said, you will see him soon. Do

1:10:57

not believe his lies. Oh my gosh,

1:11:00

this is so interesting. You're gonna see

1:11:02

him soon. You will not

1:11:04

believe his lies. Yeah, and just now, on

1:11:06

the way here, I guess, I was on

1:11:08

the way here, got lost in the fog

1:11:10

again in New Jersey, ended

1:11:13

up here in Los Angeles. Wait,

1:11:15

so it transported you as well? Transported

1:11:18

how? Meaning you went into the fog in New

1:11:20

Jersey and when you came out you were in Los Angeles, meaning

1:11:22

you, like

1:11:24

a... A portal?

1:11:27

Yeah, a portal or something? No.

1:11:29

No. Like, I felt every second of

1:11:31

this journey. Oh, okay. So you just traveled

1:11:34

all the way? I went through a long fog. Did you

1:11:36

go through the Panama Canal? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How'd you get

1:11:38

here? Wow. I mean, I must have.

1:11:40

Okay, I guess so. Because it's not like, hey, I

1:11:42

was just in New Jersey a second ago. It was like days ago.

1:11:44

Okay. Yeah. So

1:11:46

what did they say to you then? They said,

1:11:48

he's gonna be talking into a

1:11:51

microphone. The OSHA

1:11:53

Podcast. You've been on it. You

1:11:56

know his name. I can't talk to him. And

1:12:00

his name is Scott Ockerman. Ockerman?

1:12:03

That's right. And I said, ooh, that's

1:12:05

so close to this guy I know. His

1:12:07

name is Scott Ockerman. So

1:12:10

they're talking about me? Don't trust my

1:12:12

life. Ooh! I bet

1:12:14

they are! You hadn't put this together

1:12:17

so I asked. No! Oh. Hey,

1:12:19

Scott Ockerman. Why

1:12:23

are you lying to the cake boss? This

1:12:26

is ridiculous. Why would you think I've been lying

1:12:28

to you? Completely honest

1:12:31

with you at all times. Why should

1:12:33

I believe that with nine spectral visioners who may or may

1:12:35

not have been the Supreme

1:12:38

Court justices on the astral plane telling

1:12:40

me that you're a liar? Why would

1:12:42

you believe them and not me? Well,

1:12:44

they have the wisdom of judges. But

1:12:46

we're old buddies. Are we? Or

1:12:49

have you been lying to me this whole time?

1:12:51

What would I be lying about? This is ridiculous.

1:12:53

Go loud and back me up. I don't seem

1:12:55

like a liar, do I? He's not a liar.

1:12:57

Scott's not a liar. You'll sheem like a liar.

1:12:59

Well, a little bit. What? You'll

1:13:02

sheem like a liar. In

1:13:04

what way? Who is you

1:13:06

weasily about stuff? I'm weasily. That's the worst thing

1:13:08

you can say to a human being. You pretend...

1:13:11

There's worse things than that. Yeah, there's the C word, you're

1:13:13

right. Ooh. You went right

1:13:15

to the nuclear option. But

1:13:19

how come you never get my name right and

1:13:21

then you accidentally get it right today? Ah.

1:13:24

You didn't expect to see me here. You

1:13:26

were called off guard. I

1:13:28

mean, maybe I know

1:13:31

your name and occasionally for the sake

1:13:33

of comedy stumble over. For the sake

1:13:35

of comedy. What is comedy except lies?

1:13:38

That's a good point. What is songwriting but

1:13:40

lies? Why is

1:13:42

songwriting lies? Loudon, how many of your songs

1:13:44

would you say, what percentage are lies? Out

1:13:48

and out lies you mean? Yeah. They're

1:13:51

actually fairly truthful my

1:13:53

songs. Really? So 30%, 40%? They're

1:13:56

lies or truthful? Lies. No,

1:13:58

I'd say more like five or six. Five

1:14:00

or six percent. What percentage of those

1:14:02

are polite white lies that you tell

1:14:04

to not hurt somebody's feelings? That's

1:14:07

supposed to whopping. Just big flat out

1:14:09

Scott Oxford-bajaj lie. Just white lies like,

1:14:11

your butt doesn't look big in those

1:14:13

pants. That sounds like

1:14:15

one of my songs actually. Wait,

1:14:17

but so here come the choppers? That was all true? Yeah.

1:14:21

You saw that? I saw all those things.

1:14:25

That's crazy. Wow. I

1:14:27

don't know what you're talking about buddy. I don't think

1:14:29

I'm lying to you. You're one of my best friends.

1:14:31

Wait a minute. I know that's a

1:14:33

lie. Why? You

1:14:35

make fun of me all the time. Make fun of you

1:14:37

how? You have me on your TV show, ridicule me. You

1:14:39

still look like a fat weirdo. You

1:14:44

appeared on the show. That's all

1:14:46

you did. Have you axed me back? I've

1:14:48

never been back. No, you've never been back. That's true.

1:14:51

I wouldn't go back on a bet. Just because you

1:14:54

look like a fat weirdo? You made me look like

1:14:56

one. How did I make you look like that? All

1:14:58

I know is I looked in the mirror before those

1:15:00

cameras started rolling. I was like, oh yeah, this guy.

1:15:03

Look out America. And

1:15:05

then I get on that show and I see it.

1:15:07

I'm like, oh, they put a weird thing on the

1:15:09

ledge or something. And then you think

1:15:11

we did something to your voice too to make

1:15:13

it sound strange? Why do you

1:15:15

even think about that? But you did. You

1:15:18

made me sound like a shrill yelling weirdo.

1:15:21

I don't know. Look,

1:15:23

I'm not lying to you. I apologize

1:15:25

if I ever did anything to hurt

1:15:27

your feelings or did anything that hurt.

1:15:30

I apologize if you got your feelings

1:15:32

hurt by anything. Oh, the non-apology apology.

1:15:34

That's the worst. You're

1:15:37

like a politician. If

1:15:39

something happened that you got your feelings hurt

1:15:41

for, I'm sorry. That

1:15:43

didn't even track grammatically. Well, hey. Well,

1:15:46

how did you even laugh? I'm

1:15:51

also rubbing my hands together. By the way, if you're recording

1:15:53

a sound effects record. All

1:15:58

right. Feel free to rip that file. I'm

1:16:01

sorry, do you have something in particular that

1:16:03

you think I'm lying about? I

1:16:07

think that you're lying when

1:16:09

you say you've never watched

1:16:11

my show, The Cake Farm, or The

1:16:13

Learning Channel. Is that what it's on? You

1:16:18

know that it is. I say

1:16:20

it all the time, The Learning Channel. I'm always

1:16:22

surprised by that information. What are you learning? You're

1:16:25

learning about what it's like day to day in

1:16:27

a cake kitchen. I mean any

1:16:29

channel could call itself The Learning Channel. Oh, that's

1:16:31

not true. That's the criteria. That's not true. You're

1:16:34

learning what it's like for Jack Bauer

1:16:36

to shoot terrorists on

1:16:39

Fox. That's made up. This

1:16:41

is real life. On The Learning

1:16:43

Channel, you learn about how show people are smaller

1:16:45

than other people. You learn about making

1:16:47

cakes in a cake kitchen. That's it.

1:16:50

Do they have anything about Paul Bunyan on The Learning

1:16:52

Channel? Oh, I wish they did. About how he met

1:16:54

Johnny. Hey, what is it with that guy? He's

1:16:58

like a giant, right? You know the second guy that we've

1:17:00

talked to about this? What's that?

1:17:02

About this topic. This came up

1:17:04

recently. About Paul Bunyan? Yeah. This

1:17:07

came up recently. He's a giant, yeah. Right.

1:17:10

And his best friend. Babe the Blue Ox. Oh,

1:17:12

I thought it was Johnny Applesheep. No, they only met once.

1:17:14

Johnny Applesheep wears a giant pot on his head. Yeah. That

1:17:17

he lives in Cheyenne, like a snail. Oh, I never

1:17:19

thought about that. It's sort of like Lidsville where he

1:17:21

dives inside of it and it gets bigger. Do you

1:17:23

know that Lidsville is like pot? What?

1:17:26

Lidsville. Lids? You

1:17:28

ever try pot, lad? Sure. Is it

1:17:30

good? He

1:17:34

used to

1:17:37

smoke pot with Clinger and Malibu candy.

1:17:40

I bet you did. Those were the

1:17:42

days. Fire one up. Yeah. In

1:17:44

between takes or when you were done for the day?

1:17:46

No, in between. Would he be in the dress? Always.

1:17:51

You ever

1:17:53

get confused? You were so high, you were like, this is a

1:17:55

girl next to me. Put your arm around him.

1:17:59

Well, I get a cotoo. Bugs

1:18:01

Bunny dressed up like a woman. Yeah. I

1:18:03

think that must have come back to bite

1:18:05

him in the ass at some point. Clinger?

1:18:08

Clinger. I bit him in the ass one

1:18:10

day. Did you really? So

1:18:12

literally it did. Wow. Well,

1:18:14

cake boss, is that what I call you?

1:18:17

That's who I am. I'm

1:18:19

sorry for anything I've done. Will

1:18:22

you make me a provish? Okay. Will

1:18:26

you provish? Start watching my

1:18:28

show with the Learning Channel, being honest about it,

1:18:31

and then having a weekly discussion group with me

1:18:34

where we talk about the show in great detail.

1:18:36

Oh my gosh, this is so much work. I

1:18:38

mean... Is you really to watch a half hour

1:18:40

television? Can you do it with me? You're

1:18:43

welcome to join. I'd love to. We'll watch a half hour of

1:18:45

MASH, then we'll watch a half hour of... Is your show a

1:18:48

half hour or an hour? It's a half hour. I've never seen

1:18:50

it. Is it a half hour? I vague. You

1:18:53

see it? I mean, how could it be an hour? That's true. You

1:18:57

never watch your own work, right? You just filmed it. I

1:18:59

can't bear to watch my show on camera. Except for, I

1:19:01

guess, on my show. That was the one time I made

1:19:03

it. I thought this was such a fun time. All

1:19:08

right. What day can we do this? Loudoun, what day are you

1:19:10

free? Tomorrow. Tomorrow?

1:19:12

So Thursdays every week, or are we going to

1:19:15

find a day that we're free? I only have

1:19:17

one Thursday I can do it. This has to

1:19:19

be a weekly thing. Well, we can Skype you

1:19:21

in, though. What day are you mostly free? Thursdays.

1:19:24

Thursdays? Do you get she-shick? Because I

1:19:27

pictured us taking place on the boat.

1:19:30

I don't know that I can commit to going out on your...

1:19:32

cake cruises. You can't come out on the

1:19:35

cake cruise! Now, look, Skype me in from

1:19:37

the boat. Skype Loudoun and I in, okay?

1:19:39

How's that? It's very impersonal to Skype. Yeah,

1:19:42

but I mean, you know, if you can't be

1:19:44

there personally, it's the next best thing. But you

1:19:46

could be there personally. You just don't want to

1:19:48

be. This is a big time commitment to go

1:19:50

out on your boat. And by the way, what

1:19:52

if we get into this fog, wind up going

1:19:54

through the Panama Canal, I'm out for days and

1:19:56

days and days. This is what you're afraid of?

1:19:58

Is that the Supreme Court judges' habitat? will come

1:20:00

and prove that you are a liar. They may

1:20:02

judge me. They will? I don't

1:20:04

want to be judged. None of us do,

1:20:06

but all of us will be. Oh my

1:20:08

goodness. Do you think heaven

1:20:10

is like they judge you and then you get

1:20:12

time? Like you have to serve some time

1:20:15

for all of your sins and then you're let out and

1:20:17

you're led into heaven for the rest of it? Or is

1:20:19

it like? It's purgatory. Is that what

1:20:21

it is? That's what purgatory is? Yeah. You're like,

1:20:23

you could be a good person, but let's say

1:20:25

you told a lie. Okay.

1:20:28

That'd be bad. Yeah. It's a,

1:20:30

you're not supposed to. Mm-hmm. And

1:20:32

then golden rule. So purgatory, it's

1:20:34

like a mini hell that

1:20:36

you go to for a brief period. Are you

1:20:38

tortured in it? Yeah. Yeah. But

1:20:41

what makes it a mini hell? Like if you're

1:20:43

tortured. Because you can get out of it. Okay.

1:20:45

Is it a lighter torture as well? No, it

1:20:48

just doesn't last as long. The exact same torture

1:20:50

as hell. Why don't you just go to hell

1:20:52

and they let you out early for time served?

1:20:54

I think it gets too confusing where it's like,

1:20:56

you could say, Oh, I'm also supposed to be

1:20:58

one of the guys who gets out. That's the

1:21:00

problem. Yeah. And they just go, Oh, okay.

1:21:02

Right this way. Well, it's like, I gotta go

1:21:04

check that. Let me make sure. Look at

1:21:07

the files. Okay. Any theories

1:21:09

on this, Latin? Uh, no.

1:21:11

No. Is there anything after we die?

1:21:13

I guess

1:21:16

I'll be finding out. I guess we

1:21:18

all will. I mean, in the scope of human history,

1:21:20

millions and millions of years, I mean, all three of

1:21:22

us in this room are just about to get there.

1:21:25

Well, not me. Wait,

1:21:27

why? Isn't it canonical that I'm immortal?

1:21:29

I think we've talked about this show.

1:21:31

Yeah. Guy, you'll outlive us

1:21:34

all. I hate you. Although, would one want

1:21:36

to be immortal? I don't know. Be

1:21:39

lonely. Be a lonely life. Eventually it would

1:21:41

be a lonely life. But for a while it would be

1:21:44

great. Already the years that we spend

1:21:46

on this earth are, so many of them are spent

1:21:48

in loneliness. But wouldn't it be nice to make

1:21:50

new fringe? Is that a Beach Boys song? What?

1:21:54

Wouldn't it be, that's Beach Boys lyrics, isn't it? Wouldn't

1:21:56

it be nice to make new fringe? What are you

1:21:58

saying? I owe money to Ashcap? Yeah. Yes! For shame,

1:22:00

wouldn't it be nice? God

1:22:03

only knows where you get these ideas. All

1:22:06

right, buddy. Velestra, what is it again?

1:22:09

Oh, don't believe in July! All right,

1:22:11

buddy. Cake Boss, it's very

1:22:13

nice to have you. We're just

1:22:15

about to have to wrap up the show. Good!

1:22:17

It's okay. But before we do

1:22:19

that, of course Loudon is going to play a song

1:22:21

at the end of the show. Before we get to

1:22:23

that though, we need to do a little something we

1:22:25

call plugs. Plug,

1:22:30

plug, plug, my plug, plug, plug, plug, my plug,

1:22:32

plug, my plug, plug, my plug, plug, my plug,

1:22:34

my plug, my plug, my plug, my plug! Short

1:22:37

and sweet. I like it. I've talked about it

1:22:39

on this show before. Don't make

1:22:41

these long plug songs. That made me feel like I had

1:22:43

an inch in my blood. Do you?

1:22:46

What? Might. Okay. I shouldn't blame you, Sean.

1:22:49

All right, that was the bass lines

1:22:51

with their song CBB Plugs Theme. Again,

1:22:54

very elegantly titled. It told me exactly what

1:22:57

I needed to know. That's right. Um... The

1:22:59

name is not disgusting? It's not. And

1:23:01

the bass lines? I like it. Very good work,

1:23:03

bass lines. If you have a Plugs Theme, head

1:23:05

on over to earwolf.com. In the comedy Bing Bong

1:23:08

message boards, you can post them in the appropriate

1:23:10

thread, and you can be played on this show.

1:23:12

So, uh, very good. As a songwriter, Loudon, did

1:23:14

you hear that one at all? I didn't have

1:23:16

my... Didn't have the hands on. ... my headphones

1:23:18

on. But, uh, do you like other

1:23:20

people writing songs, or do you think that should just be

1:23:23

you? I

1:23:25

can think other people can do it. Yeah, it's okay

1:23:28

if someone else writes one, right? Sure, sure. You

1:23:30

know, I've asked me questions like that about cake

1:23:32

baking. Do you think other people should make cakes?

1:23:34

No! I'm the boss of them!

1:23:37

But that implies that other... Oh, so wait,

1:23:40

you're the boss of cakes, not

1:23:42

people making cakes. That's right. All right. This is... We've never

1:23:44

cleared that up on this show. I'm not the people making

1:23:46

cake boss. All

1:23:48

right, Loudon, what do we have to plug here? Well,

1:23:51

that's what this segment is about. That's what it is. Oh, okay.

1:23:55

Plugs. Um,

1:23:58

new album. Haven't got the blues. and

1:24:00

then in parentheses yet. September

1:24:02

9th. September 9th. Sometime

1:24:05

in the fall I'll be coming back. I'll

1:24:07

be everywhere. This show is everywhere, right? Oh

1:24:09

yeah, come see me anywhere. Australia, a

1:24:11

lot of fans in Australia. I have

1:24:14

a few. Yeah, and also

1:24:16

you have your song Here Come the Choppers that

1:24:18

everyone's supposed to buy right now as they're listening

1:24:20

to this. And when do you get the receipts

1:24:24

on your iTunes stuff? Do

1:24:27

you get the next day? No, no, it takes

1:24:29

a while. It takes a while. Takes a

1:24:31

while. So like six months? Thereabouts.

1:24:35

So in six months will you call me? And

1:24:37

I would imagine this will be right after the

1:24:40

new year or sometime around Valentine's Day.

1:24:42

Just give me a call on Valentine's Day. We'll just set

1:24:44

it so I know you're calling. I'll know

1:24:46

to pick up. Call me on Valentine's

1:24:48

Day. Let me know that the CBB

1:24:50

bump CBB bump actually works. Right. Okay.

1:24:52

I mean, we don't, we get next

1:24:55

to nothing now anyway. Sure. But I

1:24:57

mean, I mean, really Spotify and it's

1:24:59

nothing. In fact, I want

1:25:01

to protest this in your show. Okay, please

1:25:03

do. I just did. Oh, this is pretty

1:25:05

successful. Short. What about the CBB bump where

1:25:08

people are CB radios? People

1:25:10

are turning on their CB radios and holding

1:25:12

it next to their actual radios where they

1:25:15

sold. Good buddy. Be sure to check out

1:25:17

loud, wait, wait, two thirds. Ain't got the

1:25:19

blues, parentheses yet. Close parentheses. By

1:25:21

the way, it's have it's got the blues.

1:25:23

I know you're a common guy, but I'm

1:25:25

from New Jersey. I know, but let's try

1:25:27

to be a little more proper. Although I

1:25:29

will, I do have to say loud and

1:25:31

you used a contraction in your album title,

1:25:34

which I think is a little bit common.

1:25:37

Oh gosh. You think it should have

1:25:39

been have not got the blues. Yes. You know,

1:25:41

be a little classy. Anyway,

1:25:43

I don't know. And

1:25:45

you're going to be out here on tour. We don't

1:25:47

have any dates on that, but where can people actually

1:25:49

get these dates? Do you have a website? I do.

1:25:53

lw3.com. That's nice and elegant because

1:25:55

who wants to really learn how

1:25:57

to spell Louden or Wayne? right.

1:26:00

You can make some mistakes. Oh, we polite people. But

1:26:03

LW3, is it a three or II?

1:26:06

God, I should find that out

1:26:08

actually. Try both. That's my opinion.

1:26:10

Try both. Google, just Google me

1:26:13

and something will come up. Very

1:26:15

good. And again,

1:26:17

buy this record, use your

1:26:19

dollars wisely, my friends out

1:26:22

there. Cake Paws, anything to plug? Well,

1:26:26

this show, we're in

1:26:29

August now. I have

1:26:32

a friend who has

1:26:34

a show at Largo at the Coronet in

1:26:36

West Hollywood, California. His name is

1:26:39

Paul F. Topkins, and he's

1:26:41

got this show called Varietopia, which is

1:26:43

like a variety show. Music,

1:26:46

comedy. Paul was in here

1:26:49

earlier. Paul, you said your

1:26:51

friend Paul. Oh, that guy? Yeah. He

1:26:53

said that guy, he just said he's your friend.

1:26:55

I said that for showbiz purposes. Oh, showbiz friends,

1:26:58

I get it. But he's promised to have me

1:27:00

on the show sometime. Oh, that'll

1:27:02

be fun. Yeah. I can't say that I'm going to

1:27:04

be on August 23rd, which is the next show, but

1:27:06

tickets are available now. Where do people

1:27:08

get these tickets? They get these tickets

1:27:11

at paulftopkins.com/live. Don't do a back slash.

1:27:13

I can't be worse margin for what

1:27:15

happens to you. Why

1:27:18

don't you just do PFT3.com? Or

1:27:20

why doesn't he do it? Okay,

1:27:22

done. Use both. Okay. And

1:27:26

that is August what, you say? August 23rd.

1:27:28

Saturday, August 23rd. It's an amazing lineup, not

1:27:30

to be missed. That sounds amazing. Let's see,

1:27:32

what do I want to plug? I have,

1:27:34

of course, our donor, we want to say

1:27:37

Damon De4. Damon De4. Hey, buddy.

1:27:39

$100 to our show. Thank you

1:27:42

so much. And that's from your

1:27:44

wife. Your wife. Your

1:27:46

wife. So

1:27:49

thanks to Damon's wife and in his name,

1:27:51

in his honor, it's almost like he donated

1:27:54

it himself, but his wife actually did something

1:27:56

special coming out to you from us. Is

1:27:58

better half. That is true. That's

1:28:00

a good way of putting it. I've never heard that

1:28:02

before. Better half. It's like there's

1:28:05

half of me that's okay, there's

1:28:07

half of me that's better than that, and that's my

1:28:09

wife. My wife. Um,

1:28:12

I do want to also plug

1:28:14

October 25th. I hope this doesn't

1:28:17

conflict with your show, Louden at

1:28:19

Largo, that I've heard about. If

1:28:21

it does, I'm gonna have to ask people to come

1:28:24

out and see me instead. Okay. That's just, you know,

1:28:26

you can have your own podcast that I'm on, and

1:28:28

then I will defer to you. Turnabout is fan play.

1:28:31

But October 25th, I will be at Festival

1:28:33

Supreme. That is the Tenacious D Festival. I'll

1:28:36

be out there with Tenacious D

1:28:38

and every member of the state, and we'll be doing-

1:28:40

What are you gonna do? I don't know. Just

1:28:43

like a show of performance? Something like this, maybe. Oh

1:28:46

boy. We'll

1:28:49

come out to see Tenacious D at least. Yeah,

1:28:52

I guess. All right. Boy, oh boy. But

1:28:54

that is October 25th. Make a day of

1:28:56

it, I say, because it would

1:28:58

fill a whole day. It's just a brief festival.

1:29:00

That is true. All right, let's close up the

1:29:02

old plug bag. Closing up the plug bag. That

1:29:11

is a good song. Guys, oh, there

1:29:13

it is. A little more. Guys,

1:29:18

it's been a pleasure to have you on the

1:29:20

show. I also want to thank our guests who could

1:29:22

not stick around. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and

1:29:24

Paul F. Tompkins, thanks to those guys, and

1:29:27

a pleasure having you guys back. Cake Boss, thanks.

1:29:30

Come back anytime. Louden. Pleasure to be here. Please

1:29:32

come back every time you put

1:29:34

out a record, and I'm looking forward to that

1:29:36

call on Valentine's Day. Okay. That'll be sweet. And

1:29:40

you're going to take us out with a

1:29:42

song. Yeah. And what is this? Let's

1:29:46

see. From

1:29:48

the new album. Ah, the decision process begins.

1:29:51

The song about alternate side of the street

1:29:53

parking. Oh. I didn't want

1:29:55

to hear that. Now you're talking by language. The

1:30:10

space is a place that's a beautiful thing

1:30:13

When I see one that's free, I

1:30:16

wanna sing Squeezing into a tight

1:30:18

one Such pleasure can bring The

1:30:20

space is a place, a beautiful

1:30:27

thing Sometimes you find the space and

1:30:29

for it you must fight Sometimes I

1:30:31

find the space you drive around half

1:30:33

the night When folks take up the

1:30:35

space and a half, that's not right

1:30:37

Sometimes I find the space and for

1:30:39

it you must fight When

1:30:43

I see a space that I don't

1:30:46

even need There's a twinge of a

1:30:48

feeling it's a kinder green It's

1:30:50

a case of space envy I'd say

1:30:52

so indeed When I

1:30:55

see a space that I

1:30:57

don't even need I still

1:30:59

want that space, yeah It's

1:31:01

a place that I don't

1:31:03

even need I still want

1:31:05

that space, yeah It's

1:31:10

a place that I don't even need I

1:31:12

still want that space, yeah Mondays

1:31:22

1:31:30

1:31:39

it's my part of town, the cops cast

1:31:41

a blind eye Folks double parked till the sweeper

1:31:43

goes by Then they sit in that clean

1:31:46

space and living alive My part of

1:31:48

town, the cops cast a

1:31:50

blind eye And

1:31:54
