You can save every day by shopping
0:02
at Whole Foods Market. Seriously, don't just
0:04
go for the big sales. Walk the
0:07
store and see the savings for yourself.
0:09
In the seafood department, look for the
0:11
yellow low price sign on Whole Foods
0:13
Market responsibly farmed salmon. This fish is
0:16
perfect for the grill. Buttery, fatty, yet
0:18
lean, nice thick fillets. I'm getting hungry
0:20
just thinking about it, and I know
0:22
I can get it at a great
0:25
price. There's so many ways to save
0:27
at Whole Foods Market. Now you know.
0:31
You know, as a guy who took
0:34
Spanish for three years, I
0:36
didn't retain much of any of it. And
0:39
three years is a long time, especially when
0:41
you're a child. And that's
0:43
when you learn the most things really well.
0:45
But I didn't retain a lot. It's
0:48
hard just learning it in school
0:50
or through textbooks. Well, Rosetta Stone
0:52
is the most trusted language learning
0:54
program. It's available on desktop or
0:56
it can be used as an
0:58
app on your phone or tablet.
1:01
They are a trusted expert for
1:03
30 years with millions of users
1:05
and 25 languages offered. Rosetta
1:08
Stone immerses you in many
1:11
ways with its intuitive process. You
1:13
can pick up any
1:15
language naturally, first with words,
1:17
then phrases, then sentences. I
1:20
started Rosetta Stone and
1:22
my Spanish skills have
1:25
definitely improved. I can now say
1:27
muchas gracias. It's really
1:29
a better way of learning a language.
1:32
Don't put off learning that language. There's
1:34
no better time than right now to
1:37
get started. For a very limited time,
1:39
Comedy Bang Bang listeners can get Rosetta
1:41
Stone's lifetime membership for 50% off. Visit

rosettastone.com/comedy. Hey
1:55
everyone, Scott Aukerman here, host of
1:57
Comedy Bang Bang, and this is
1:59
the second bonus bang that
2:01
we are releasing. These are previous
2:03
episodes that we are taking
2:05
out from behind the paywall and letting
2:07
you hear them. And
2:10
this is the second episode of
2:12
the series we are calling the
2:14
Essential Andrew Lloyd Webber.
2:17
This is an episode called Don't
2:19
Cry, Rolling Skate Train. And
2:22
this is episode 77. 77. This is part
2:24
two of the episode, part one of which
2:26
we released last week. This
2:35
has Zach Galifianakis, Paul F. Tompkins
2:37
as Andrew Lloyd Webber, and singer-songwriter
2:40
Dylan Campbell performing some songs.
2:44
This is a great episode. I'm sure a lot
2:46
of you have heard it, but if you haven't
2:48
heard it, this is a great chance to catch
2:50
up. And if you are

2:57

every single episode we've recorded, as
3:01
well as every single live episode.
3:04
And we will be back next week with
3:06
a new episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Until
3:08
then, enjoy this bonus bang! Okay,
3:32
so it's time to play one of our favorite
3:34
features on this program. We haven't
3:36
played this in a little while, I don't
3:38
believe, but it's time to play a little
3:40
game we call What Am I Thinking? I
3:49
am the Falcon!
4:00
Jeremy Piven.
4:04
My name
4:07
is Jeremy
4:10
Piven. Okay,
4:16
it's time to play What Am I Thinking?
4:19
Of course we all know how we play this game. Of course
4:21
we all do. Basically what
4:23
will happen is I will... Okay,
4:28
so here's how I explain it. We
4:31
all know how we play this, so why bother? Yes,
4:33
we all do. That's what I would say. Maybe a
4:35
refresher. Oh, that's a great tip. For the listener. Yes.
4:38
Only for the new listener. Okay,
4:40
so what this is is two
4:42
people will play at a time. Dame
4:44
Sir and I, for example, will take a look
4:46
at each other and we will both say three,
4:49
two, one together in synchronicity. Yes.
4:53
And then we will each think of a separate
4:55
word to ourselves and
4:57
we will say that word out loud at the same time. And
5:00
then we will both have said two
5:02
totally separate words. And
5:04
then we will each say three,
5:06
two, one again and try
5:09
to come up with the word that is
5:11
the compromise word. The word that
5:13
is either directly in between those
5:15
words or a word
5:17
that has both of those things in
5:19
common. And then we will
5:21
try to eventually say the same word.
5:23
The mystery word betwixt the two. Neither
5:26
fish nor flesh. Nor foul. Nor
5:29
foul. You were talking Terence Trent Darby there
5:33
for a second. I often do. Zach,
5:35
that makes sense to you, right? I'm going to watch the...
5:38
I don't think I played this before. No, I
5:40
don't. But as a big fan of
5:42
the show, you know exactly how it's played. Yes. Loyal
5:45
listener. Yes. So,
5:47
Dame Sir, why don't we play you and I together?
5:50
We'll stare directly into each other's eyes
5:52
and we'll play that. All right, you ready
5:54
to go? You have a word in mind? I have a question.
5:57
Person plays her thing? No, just a word. It
5:59
doesn't matter. Anything person place
6:01
thing proper noun anything proper now
6:03
good. Were you differentiating words from
6:05
persons places and things? Yes Alright,
6:08
I meant proper nouns is what I meant
6:10
sure proper nouns are Eiffel Tower This
6:13
is not scrabble also two words Eiffel Tower
6:15
for once You could
6:17
do two listening to this podcast for a year and
6:19
no one has brought up Eiffel Tower You
6:23
can't do you can't do more than one word those
6:25
two you can't do more than one
6:27
word I do want to say that so if it's like
6:29
Frank Lloyd, right? You can say Frank Lloyd, right, you know
6:31
I'm saying you don't it doesn't have to be one word
6:34
Wait, you know any relation to you is he? Oh,
6:36
I wish I would have gotten a house for free Was
6:39
he just giving away houses to all of his real?
6:41
Yes. Oh, yes, really? That's why he
6:44
eventually went broke after he died All
6:47
right. So why don't we play you have a
6:49
word in mind? Yes Please
6:53
try to hide your distaste for this game as well.
6:55
I'm not an actor there boy If
6:58
only I could put on a false face as you seem
7:00
to do All right. Here we go.
7:02
Ready? We're gonna say three two one and then the word.
7:04
All right, here we go. Ready? Three
7:07

7:12
phantom iPhone and
7:15
phantom He's
7:18
gonna tell you I think it's No,
7:20
no offense Lloyd, but you have to broaden
7:23
your mind a little bit. I don't
7:25
you understand Zachariah These
7:29
these songs and characters they're with me.
7:31
Okay. All right whispering in my brains.
7:33
Yeah, okay maybe on the next one
7:35
you'll The
7:40
words of phantom and iPhone we're gonna try to come
7:43
up with the perfect Combination word of
7:45
the word that is that they have both in common.
7:47
All right, here we go ready and three
7:50
two one virus Computer
7:54
virus and Star Wars. Yes interesting.
7:57
Well, I mean I'm a
8:01
Compared to other things that exist in
8:03
the world. Mmm, dirt. Staring at the
8:05
wall. How dare you. Don't
8:09
knock it till you've tried it, love. So
8:12
Star Wars and Computer Virus are
8:15
the two words. Let me think about
8:17
this for just one second. I'm
8:20
ready. All right, here we go. Ready? Three,
8:23

8:40
in common? Three, two, one. HANTSOLO! WE'VE
8:42
GOT IT! That's
8:44
a good game. That is how it's done. Where'd you come up
8:46
with that concept? That is a
8:49
game that James Adomian, friend of the show,
8:51
and I, and Paul F. Tompkins, friend of
8:53
the show, and I, played in the car
8:55
on a long trip to Solvang once. One
8:57
of them wasn't very good at it at
8:59
all. But one of our guests
9:01
here today was great at it because we just won in five moves
9:03
or less, I believe. Thank you, thank
9:05
you. Yeah, congratulations. What's the record?
9:09
The record is one, meaning we
9:11
said the same word at the exact same time from the first word.
9:14
I believe that was you and your wife? That was me and my
9:16
wife, and it happened to be something we were both looking at. But
9:20
still, it counts. Technically.
9:25
All right, Zach, do you want to play? Sure. All
9:27
right, you and I, then? Sure. Okay, all
9:29

10:02
supposed to count down with us. You are supposed to
10:04
count down. Thank you. You are using Arabic rules. Why
10:06
do I know why that's really necessary? And may I
10:08
remind you, you are under oath. Why do
10:10
I need to count down? So
10:13
we're there in perfect concert. Got it.
10:15
Why should the mathematical burden fall to Scottrick? Well,
10:19
I think he's the inventor of the game.
10:21
I did not invent it. I merely perfected
10:23
it. Okay. All right. There are points all
10:25
round. All right, here
10:27

11:52
a really cool game. I like that. What
11:54
am I thinking? Exciting. The

12:14
Roll a skate train. Train.

Train. Roll

12:36
Roll a skate train. Roll
12:41
a skate train. Roll
12:46
a skate train. All
12:52
right, that is how we play, which is how we
12:54
play. This
12:59
song is haunted. Do
13:02
we want to play? Yeah,
13:05
why don't we do that? Why don't we
13:07
do Jukebox Jury? We
13:09
have a musician here. We have
13:11
a Damesur ALW here. I'll
13:14
ask Dylan to recuse himself. We
13:16
don't want him to get in trouble with
13:18
critiquing songs. He's an artist himself. But
13:21
as we are merely fans of
13:24
the form of singer-songwriters, you
13:27
are going to judge these songs. And
13:32
we have engineer Doug, what is our first
13:34
song for Jukebox Jury? Swing
13:36
that microphone right around to you
13:38
and announce yourself. This is
13:41
Chicken Milk by Little Mungo.
13:43
Can we vote now? Wait,
13:46
wait, wait. I don't know what the... What are we doing? Just...
13:49
no, keep going. People
13:52
send me songs to play on the
13:54
show and we judge them. Okay. This
13:57
is Chicken Milk. Turn it up
13:59
a little easier. Science has
14:01
given the chicken a
14:03
nipple. Science
14:08
has given the
14:10
chicken a nipple.
14:17
Science has given the
14:19
chicken a nipple. I'm
14:24
ready to vote. Give me a
14:26
few more minutes. Science! Science! Fair
14:29
enough! The world's good! The
14:31
world's big! The
14:34
world's foolery is going to turn me crazy!
14:36
Here's where it gets adopted, James! Come
14:39
on a little bit. Come on, a little bit. Let's
14:43
go! This is the name that we don't
14:46
need. What's the name? Who?
14:48
What? The little mongo? Little
14:50
mongo. Alright, turn up.
14:54
Oh, it's an offshoot of mongo. Little-er
14:57
than a regular mongo. Alright, so
14:59
any thoughts before we vote? Well,
15:01
the cardinal sin,
15:06
the lyrics not starting right
15:08
away with your funny
15:10
sort of comedy song. Yeah, if you want to do a comedy
15:12
song, you want to hook the listener into something funny right away.
15:15
You don't want to get too much into
15:17
a groove because presumably if you're doing comedy
15:19
songs, you're not very good at regular songs.
15:21
So why have some instrumentation up at the
15:23
top? Just dive right in. Also, if you're
15:25
going to repeat a line, I would do
15:28
it either just twice or
15:30
I would do it four
15:32
times as quickly as possible.
15:34
Okay. Zetrai. Lloyd
15:37
makes good points there. I agree with him.
15:39
Thank you. Are you
15:41
asking me for my... Just some feedback,
15:43
some constructive criticism. I think I'm
15:45
on board with that criticism. How
15:47
can Little Mungo basically parlay this
15:50
song into a career like yours
15:52
where you're starring in major motion
15:54
pictures and television series? Oh, that's
15:56
easy. Oh, yeah? Well, they're
15:58
halfway there. Halfway there. That's
16:01
what I did. Do
16:03
you know anything about Little Mongo? I know nothing about Little Mongo.
16:05
Is it Lil or Little? Lil, L-I-L.
16:08
And is it Mongo or
16:10
Mongo? Mongo, M-U-N-G-O. Oh,
16:12
Mongo. All right, so like
16:15
Saint Mongo. Ah, yes. So it
16:17
sounds like we are ready to vote then. So we
16:19
will go to, no, we'll go
16:21
to Zach first. Mustard or Pants? Mustard.
16:28
And Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber? I
16:35
wish to be polite here, so I'll say trousers. All
16:37
right, very good. So we have one for... You know
16:39
what I mean. Yes, of course. We mean something different
16:42
where I come from. We have one for Mustard, one
16:44
for trousers. And why don't we go to the next
16:46
one? Engineer Doug, what do we have? This is a
16:48
tribe called GURP with Rocktober now. Oh,
16:50
great. What's the month? It's
16:57
the middle of Rocktober. What you got to
16:59
say? Yo, say it ain't sober. I'm in
17:01
that killer coma, contagious in the corner of
17:03
the 6 feet deep. Knockout
17:06
squad, knocking out odd, timing old
17:08
men lining up to say, way
17:10
to go, sunny like listing. I'm
17:13
a bad boy like the late
17:15
80s Detroit, pissing with the late
17:17
60s Detroit, attitude white
17:20
panther. Fucking in the avenue, got
17:22
the dope in the guns, keep the fuzz
17:24
bubbling. Drive through donuts, they get drive
17:26
through coffee while I'm in the drive
17:28
through with my posse on Broadway. Game,
17:31
cake, or root tacos before we wait.
17:33
All right, yeah, forget it. All right. Any
17:36
criticisms? What was
17:38
the name of the song again? Rocktober
17:41
now. Rocktober now. What
17:44
was the name of the group? A
17:46
tribe called GURP. A tribe called GURP.
17:50
Are these supposed to be funny? I
17:52
think so. That's a good question. I mean, are they... I
17:55
thought they were. It's basically people trying to send
17:57
me because I normally play comedy songs. No offense,
17:59
Dylan. but I
18:02
normally play comedy songs and so people send me them
18:04
trying to get their song played on the air. I
18:09
think the rap thing has been done a
18:11
lot with comedy.
18:13
If this is a comedic song it's
18:16
not that fresh. Especially on this show. It's
18:19
almost exclusively what people send in. It
18:22
seemed a little bereft of laughs. Yes,
18:25
I couldn't figure out if that was the
18:27
goal or if they just
18:29
thought it was a somewhat amusing tune they'd send in
18:31
and see what they could get. Who are the people
18:33
sending them? That's a tribe called GURP. No, I know,
18:36
but who are they? They're fans of the show. Okay.
18:38
Yeah, so we have to be nice to them as
18:40
nice as we can be but they know when they
18:42
send it in that they're going to be... They're
18:45
not around town performing. Oh no!
18:48
No, no, no. I'd like to see that
18:50
live is what I would like to see that version. I would
18:52
love to go with you. Where are they playing? Yeah,
18:55
can we get dates from them for the plugs? Engineer
18:58
Doug, you're a hip-hop musician. What do you think
19:00
about that? I thought it was
19:02
terrible. Okay. Minsing
19:04
no words. So let's go to Damesur
19:07
ALW. How do you like to vote?
19:09
Mustard or pants? I'm going
19:11
to vote Mustard on that one. Mustard and
19:13
what do we get from Zach? Can you
19:15
just vote? Just vote for pants. Pants, okay.
19:18
We have one for Mustard, one for pants.
19:20
And what do we have next, Doug? The
19:23
group is the Personnel or the
19:25
Personal. The song's Twister.
19:27
How is it spelled? Personal, I
19:29
misspoke. And Twister in
19:31
the Nude. Correct. Pull
19:54
down the shades, lock up the
19:56
doors, Suffer Twister in the Nude.
19:59
Twister! Twister, twister,
20:01
twister in the nude
20:05
You may think we're perverts, baby
20:08
You may think it's lewd But
20:10
be honest with yourself now Alright,
20:13
turn it up. What the fuck are we doing with
20:15
this show? I almost wanted to
20:17
hear more to see if he had exhausted
20:19
the rhymes for nude. I bet
20:21
he didn't. He'd worked his way through quite a few of
20:23
them. Let's hear some more. For
20:26
our rousing game of Twister, Twister
20:29
in the nude Alright,
20:34
turn it off. You know, people write to me and they say,
20:36
Hey, can you stop doing that Jukebox jury segment? Who dares? And
20:39
I say to them, you can't tell me what to do, you're
20:42
not my dad. Even my dad can't
20:44
tell me what to do, because I'm a grown ass man.
20:46
That's right. You know? But
20:48
there are days like this where I just want
20:50
to acquiesce and give in and go, You know what? You're
20:52
right. Sculptric. Not all my
20:54
ideas are good ones. Sculptric, you must
20:57
never cease the Juking Box jury. Why?
21:02
Why do you believe in it so
21:04
much? It's the foundation of your American
21:06
Republic democracy. Don't you understand? Everyone
21:09
gets a vote. What would happen if you
21:12
ran across something that was really amazing? We've
21:15
played... Maybe not. I
21:17
can't remember. No, it's never happened. You know what I mean?
21:19
Like, oh, this is really funny. We would put it in
21:21
regular rotation. That's what we would do. We've played songs all
21:23
the way through before. Listen, people are going
21:25
to make these songs, just like people
21:28
are going to murder other people. But
21:31
when people murder other people... Owls are
21:33
going to murder other owls. When
21:36
people murder other people, other people
21:38
must be there to judge these murderers. So when these
21:41
people make their terrible songs, someone
21:44
must stand up to be the judge. Is anyone...
21:47
Well, speaking of
21:49
owls and song parodies... You
21:53
can call me Al? I
21:56
think the entire cast of Gahu should
21:59
sing that. as a promo video for their movie. It's
22:01
very easy to be over the end credits. It's
22:04
not? Are you serious? That's not...
22:07
I walked out. Fool disclosure. You
22:09
know who sings that song? Weird Al Yankovic.
22:12
Weird Al. You got it. You
22:15
got it? And then, if you want
22:18
to go an extra step. I do. So
22:20
I would imagine that there's a little bit of blood in
22:22
that movie? Yeah. Al
22:24
Gore. That's double. That's double
22:27
pun. Weird
22:29
Al Yanko Al. Mm-hmm. That's
22:32
not bad. I'll keep working. Keep working. Keep
22:34
working at the workshop. All right. That's
22:36
how you play Jukebox Story. Let's go to some real music. What
22:39
do you say? Let's go to another song from Dylan Campbell. How's
22:41
that sound? I suppose I was in the mood to hear more
22:43
terrible music. No, no. Let's
22:45
quickly abandon this and go to Dylan. I
23:47
promise we had made to
23:49
find love before we find
23:51
the grave. You
24:01
stare sometimes,
24:03
set a
24:06
fire in
24:08
my eyes
24:12
You left
24:16
me blind, by
24:20
your absence lies You
24:28
left me blind,
24:32
by your absence lies
24:36
You left me blind, by your absence lies You
24:51
left me blind, by
24:53
your absence lies You
24:58
left me blind, by your absence lies You
25:04
know how I will pay, this
25:08
is the great escape Political
25:13
rape, my
25:16
mouth ain't been taped, we
25:18
can no longer wait So
25:28
it's a promise we had made,
25:31
to find love, sweet
25:35
love for We
25:39
find the
25:42
grave, you
25:44
stare sometimes,
25:48
set a fire in
25:50
my eyes You
25:56
left me blind

right, well we have one last and final, well
31:34
not our final segment, but, you're
31:38
looking at me like this is going on forever. I'm
31:40
sorry. No, no, no, it's okay. No, I didn't, I
31:42
wasn't, this is the, you said it
31:44
was the last segment. It's the last segment,
31:46
but not our final feature. Yes. Does
31:49
that make sense? Sure. We
31:52
have several popular features on the show and we
31:54
have two in this segment. I
31:56
keep forgetting that there's always the most popular one
31:58
is at the very end. Yeah. But
32:00
hurry up because Zachary is squirming like a
32:02
toddler in church. I'm very hungry I'm
32:05
hungry. Yeah, but you're always hungry.
32:08
Yeah one would imagine he's pulling at
32:10
his bow tie What's
32:14
the guys coloring books oh Did
32:17
I tell you what this is? Yes, okay,
32:19
so it's time to play a little game that we
32:21
call would you rather? We're
32:25
playing them all to three games And
32:29
get our money's worth On
32:38
a train played by on skates
32:40
played by Oh
33:02
Jeremy Jeremy, you know what I would love
33:04
okay. That's how you play would you rather no? We
33:09
play the game next segment Heavy
33:12
when you hear a song like that Dame sir alw do
33:14
you ever think about like writing me some theme music? In
33:17
the Scott I thought about it many times
33:19
in a dream of course in
33:21
a dream. That's when I do all my workings One
33:24
of these days I shall have themes. I hope you next
33:26
time you walk through that door. I would like to see
33:28
a demonstration CD consider
33:31
it done at the ready consider
33:33
it done I Do
33:35
consider it done. I will see you next year. I'll see you
33:37
in court Next
33:40
year with that song Alright,
33:43
so this is we all know how we play this this is
33:45
would you rather Zach actually you were here the very first time
33:47
We ever played this game The
33:54
boot light that's what of
33:56
mine But
33:59
uh for the uninitiated, basically people write to
34:01
me on my Twitter account at Scott Ockerman,
34:04
but only when I ask for it, because
34:06
otherwise it will not get read. And
34:08
they send me would you rather scenarios, and
34:11
we have some great ones here. Here
34:16
we go, Kyle Crane.
34:18
Kyle Crane, it sounds like you're snoring,
34:20
Zach. It was. Right
34:22
into the microphone. Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Kyle
34:25
Crane at Kyle Crane asks, would
34:27
you rather have the ability to
34:30
read fish's minds, or
34:33
always have ability to have your mind
34:35
to be read by all fish? That's
34:39
not worded right, but I think what he's trying to
34:41
say is would you rather have the ability to read
34:43
fish's minds, or have
34:45
your mind constantly read by all fish?
34:49
Okay, so the floor
34:51
is open for questions. I have a question.
34:53
Oh yes, Damester ALW. These
34:55
fish. Yes. I'm
34:58
about to tell you. Okay, I just want
35:00
to stop you before you ask the question,
35:02
because we need to establish which scenario. Yes.
35:07
I'm just about to establish the scenario. Okay, but
35:09
before you go on, I just want to make
35:11
sure that you determine which scenario it is you're
35:13
asking about. I feel we're saying the same thing.
35:16
I don't think so, because what I'm trying to get from
35:19
you is which scenario. Yes, what I'm trying to tell you
35:21
is the scenario. God damn it, why don't you ever listen
35:23
to me? I want to know which scenario you. So glad
35:25
we've made the game longer. In
35:27
the scenario, wherein the fish
35:30
can read my mind. Do
35:32
these fish understand human thought?
35:35
Great question. Thank you. Actually,
35:38
that goes to the, basically,
35:42
humans don't think in words.
35:44
They think in images. Indeed. So fish
35:46
can understand images, yes, but what they
35:49
don't understand nor comprehend is
35:51
the world above the
35:53
sea. The human world, in other words,
35:55
they don't understand these cities that rise
35:57
up into the air as an affront.
36:00
to God. So if I'm thinking
36:02
of something private, say
36:04
a sexy sort of thought. Sure. These fish
36:06
will have no idea what I'm thinking. Well
36:08
they have seen humans because every once in
36:11
a while a human dips their toe into
36:13
the well of the undersea kingdom and so
36:15
they know what a human is and if
36:17
you're having sexy thoughts they know basically how
36:20
the parts fit into one or another. Scotters,
36:22
you've walked right into my trap. Uh-oh. What
36:25
if I am in this scenario
36:27
an objectom sexual? Wait,
36:30
oh haven't you heard of them? I
36:33
guess not. These are people who are
36:35
attracted to inanimate objects, not other
36:38
people. Okay. There's a famous story
36:40
of a woman who married a bridge and
36:43
a man who was in love with the airwolf
36:46
helicopter. This is all
36:48
true. Okay. Now if I'm having a
36:50
private thought about being
36:52
intimate with an automobile, what
36:55
will these fish make of it? Are you
36:57
trying to say that this is,
36:59
are you trying to tell me? No, I'm not trying to
37:02
say anything. Are you trying to? I barely
37:04
conjecturing about such a fellow. And this
37:06
fellow would definitely be into automobiles? Yes.
37:10
Any sort of time period with
37:12
these automobiles, like old timey ones
37:14
with the jumper seat?
37:17
Absolutely the 1970s. The
37:19
70s really. They made big cars back
37:21
then. They
37:23
really knew how to make them. Station
37:25
wagons or muscle cars? Oh boy, oh
37:27
boy. Don't
37:29
make me choose. Wait,
37:32
make you choose or make this? Make him
37:34
the fellow. Okay. He's made a
37:36
fellow we're talking about that I admitted. I believe
37:39
the fish would just be confused by that to
37:42
answer your question. All right, that's a relief. All
37:44
right. All right. I'm open to
37:46
a question. So do we have another question? I
37:49
don't see how it could not be that
37:52
you want to. Don't vote. That is a
37:54
classic. Would you rather blunder? No, it's hypothetical.
37:56
I'm, I'm, I'm. You have to ask a
37:58
question. You can't say it. I don't
38:00
see that's a statement motherfucker. I
38:03
don't see okay So
38:06
the language works Seems
38:09
simple to me the answer that's another statement
38:11
ask a goddamn question or get I'm done
38:13
find the egress I'm ready. Have you forgotten
38:16
the question words? Why why
38:18
where where how who how can one? What
38:24
idiot Think
38:29
Do we have another question when this one Lw
38:33
their answer yes in
38:35
the scenario where in I can read the
38:37
minds of fish. Yes Do
38:40
I understand their fishy thoughts? Very
38:43
interesting it is just to think
38:45
about it. Yes, you do as a
38:47
matter of fact they think in English
38:49
So it's even easier. They don't understand
38:51
English English. They don't understand English and yet they
38:53
think in it. It is the Kings English. Yes
38:57
They're going back a ways or Forward
38:59
into the future when Charles the sense of
39:01
the throne and then there's the good old
39:04
Babe Ruth bot as well He's
39:06
around about him slugging away
39:08
there the future trying to get those
39:10
dinosaurs getting their top getting space syphilis
39:16
So yes, you understand their thoughts perfectly and
39:18
their thoughts are frightening to you Oh frightening
39:22
in the way that Is
39:24
enjoyable as in going to see a scary
39:26
film? Oh, no if if if you could
39:28
read their minds you would never step foot
39:30
in the water ever again May I ask
39:32
you this yes in that scenario Oh, please
39:34
am I able to turn this
39:37
mind reading on and off or
39:39
am I constantly? Bombarded by the
39:41
frightening faults of fish there is
39:43
an on-off switch on your mind
39:45
reading however that switch gets broken within the
39:47
first hour So
39:51
what time of day does this happen? The
39:54
first hour it happens at 5 in the morning
39:56
you're awakened Oh sound of fish. That's how my
39:58
days off. Yeah awakened by the sound
40:00
of fish being caught in fishermen's nets. Oh, so
40:03
it's not the band. Oh, dear. It's
40:05
not the band. No, no. Yeah, OK.
40:07
This whole time. I didn't catch that. Just the whole time. So
40:09
you want to rethink that knowing how you're going to vote. Right.
40:12
Because I was confused this whole conversation. You thought
40:14
you were reading the notes of Tre Anastasio. Exactly.
40:18
Is his name again? Tre Anastasio. Every
40:23
name, no matter how silly, just sounds great
40:25
coming out of your mouth. Tre Anastasio. Any
40:30
other questions before we vote? In
40:34
the scenario wherein the fish
40:37
can read my mind. Yes. Do
40:40
the fish know who I am? Do
40:43
they have a sense of me as an individual?
40:45
Or are they just bombarded by these thoughts, all
40:47
of these fish? May I answer
40:49
that question with a question? Please, I wish
40:51
you would. Who among us
40:54
in this great wide world has
40:56
not heard tell of the very
40:58
famous Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd W.
41:01
Well, I wasn't fishing, but I like what I quote.
41:05
Let me ask you a question. But
41:07
this begs a whole different question built on that
41:09
question. Does it beg this question?
41:11
Or does it raise a question? Whatever
41:14
the expression is. Yes, Zach,
41:16
from the floor. How one
41:19
must think how well
41:21
if Lloyd's and Lloyd's world.
41:24
I think you have some of those words mixed up. I'm
41:28
very dyslexic, very. In Lloyd's
41:30
world, you
41:32
have to consider the fish
41:35
getting along with the cats.
41:39
Hmm. That is true. I
41:43
will consider that. You
41:46
mean you need a long time to think about it. What
41:48
else have I got to do? I'm staring at a wall.
41:51
Let me ask this. All
41:53
of these fish, are they hearing my thoughts at
41:55
the same time? And do they communicate with each
41:57
other about my thoughts? That is a great question.
41:59
fish can not only read your mind, you're the
42:01
only human by the way, whose mind they can
42:03
read. On planet Earth? Yes, but
42:05
they... I'm the last man on Earth? No.
42:08
No, just the only one that they can actually read the
42:10
minds of. You say no as if
42:12
you know so much. I know the context
42:14
of what she's talking. Well, I do bear your
42:16
pardon. They can read each
42:19
other's minds and they know exactly when they
42:21
want to attack. I've said too much. I've
42:24
said too much. I feel this has
42:26
gone beyond a game of would you
42:28
rather and you have some vital information
42:30
holding back? I can only speak when
42:32
asked questions of to me. All
42:35
right, and I'm shutting the floor down for questions. Oh,
42:37
yeah. We'll never know exactly what
42:40
to what I was referring. And
42:42
it's time to vote. So, Zach, you were very eager to
42:44
vote. So how do you like to vote here? I
42:47
would say that I would like to be able to
42:49
read the fish's minds. Really? And
42:52
why is that? Because I feel like it's more of
42:54
a defensive thing if I wanted to go swimming
42:57
or sharking. I
43:00
could be able to figure out what the shark is
43:03
thinking where the shark is going. Oftentimes,
43:06
I like to get on the back of porpoise
43:10
and swim. Not technically a fish. Well,
43:13
mammal. You didn't
43:15
let me finish. I do apologize. Well, we
43:18
never got to it, but you can read
43:20
the mind of anything that you think is a fish, if
43:23
it's a fish or not. Right. So
43:25
in that case, yeah, porpoise is all
43:27
good. And beavers. Beaver fish. Bloody
43:29
no. No, no. Beavers
43:32
smell like fish. I don't get that joke. I
43:34
don't get it. I don't get it. I'll Google
43:36
it later, but I don't get that joke. Let's Google
43:38
it together. Let's turn
43:40
into a red fox party album. How
43:43
do you do? I love
43:46
it. So offended. All
43:50
right. So we have one vote for reading. I'm a knight
43:52
of the realm. We're reading fish's
43:55
minds. And damesirailw, how do
43:57
you like to vote? Well, I do like
43:59
to vote. the idea of these fish
44:01
being assaulted by my sexy thoughts.
44:04
That's almost like someone watching
44:07
you while you make love
44:09
to a carburetor. Indeed. As
44:11
I make passionate love to a 1974 Dodge Dart. So
44:19
yes, I vote... Autoerotic. I vote...
44:22
I dare say. Now
44:24
you're speaking my language. English. The
44:26
Dodge Dart, a 1974 Dodge Dart, like a 2003 Angelina Jolie to you.
44:32
Of course it is. You've pinpointed
44:35
it exactly. Okay. A couple
44:37
with tattoos. Tattoos.
44:39
Car tattoos. So
44:42
yes, I want these fish to be thinking
44:44
of my thoughts. Fantastic. And
44:47
just, you like the idea of... Did you
44:49
say fantastic? No, no, no, no. No,
44:51
the bowl with the little spike. Is
44:53
it here? Everyone hide! All
44:57
right, so we have one for reading
44:59
the fish's minds and one for the
45:02
fish reading their minds. Can we turn up
45:04
the heat? No problem. We'll... Let
45:06
me tally the votes. Oh, Dame Sir, looks like
45:08
you won that round. My first time out? Yes.
45:10
Well, you know that I played this game before.
45:13
We have one last question. That was worth one
45:15
point and our last question is worth 100 points.
45:17
So it's anyone's game. All
45:21
right, so... Who's the judge... We
45:24
tallied up the points. There's no
45:26
judge, it's a point system, so it
45:28
makes it fair. Fair's fair. It's
45:31
like boxing, you know? I mean, it's like if one
45:33
of the judges were just to decide this guy boxed better,
45:35
it wouldn't be fair, but instead there's a point system. That's
45:38
right. And also one fellow

46:49
This comes to us from
46:51
Auretek. Auretek, I believe. Would
46:53
you rather own a magical penny
46:56
or have a nose that
46:58
was able to lift off like a
47:00
jetpack after every sneeze? Would
47:03
you rather own a magical penny or have a
47:05
nose that was able to lift off like a
47:07
jetpack after every sneeze? I'm opening the floor for
47:09
questions. I have a question. All right, Dame Sir
47:11
ALW. When I sneeze
47:13
and this nose lifts off like
47:16
a jetpack, it should be as
47:18
a jetpack does. Does
47:23
my nose detach itself from my
47:25
face and fly up into the
47:27
stratosphere? Basically, your nose detaches from
47:29
your face and you then straddle
47:31
your nose, much
47:33
like in Doctor Strangelove,
47:35
how that cowboy straddled
47:37
the bomb. And
47:39
you sort of wave your cowboy hat around.
47:41
A la Slim Pickens. Slim Pickens. That is
47:44
exactly who I was thinking of. Of
47:46
whom I was thinking. It seems that
47:48
it would be, and let me ask
47:50
you if it is, is it rather
47:52
difficult to straddle my own nose? No,
47:54
actually, your nose is perfectly contoured towards
47:57
your knees. So the
47:59
little indentation. on the side, it's
48:01
almost like riding a motorcycle and just,
48:03
yeah. But now when I sneeze, does
48:05
my nose go into position and then
48:07
I'm able to straddle it and take
48:09
off? Yes, basically you go, achoo, and
48:12
then you hear, ahhhh, and your nose
48:14
like slides forward, and
48:16
then you hear, lift off imminent
48:18
in five, four, three, nose,
48:21
one, and then you know by
48:24
that. This
48:28
is every time I sneeze, every single time
48:30
you sneeze. Is it possible to sneeze in
48:32
this scenario twice in a row? Oh,
48:35
you don't want to do that. You don't want to do that.
48:37
I don't want to, but I have no control over it. No,
48:39
no, no, no, no. James or ALW, please don't ask any questions
48:41
about that. It's not up to me. This
48:43
is unprecedented. No, please, you don't want to do
48:45
that. I'm presented in the world of would
48:47
you rather. No, no, James or ALW, please
48:50
don't ask me any questions about sneezing twice
48:52
in a row because that is far too
48:54
dangerous. Just know you sneeze once,
48:56
once is all that is safe to do.
48:59
Your nose detaches from your face. You hear that countdown
49:01
that we all know so well. Lift
49:04
off imminent in five, four, three,
49:06
nose, one, and then
49:10
you straddled it by then hopefully and you
49:12
take off into the wild blue yawn. Follow
49:14
up question. Yes. ALW,
49:17
I recognize you for the follow up. Ladies
49:20
and gentlemen of the would you
49:22
rather panel. May
49:25
I ask, am
49:27
I in control of when
49:30
and how often I sneeze? Well
49:33
you can. The quantity of sneezes, I guess
49:35
I'm asking. You can pluck out your nostril
49:38
hairs to try to sneeze. So if you
49:40
ever see like a cat stuck in a
49:42
tree, you sit there plucking out your nostril
49:44
hairs and eventually it works and your nose
49:46
detaches from your face, then you hear that
49:49
countdown that we all know. What is it
49:51
again? How down
49:53
imminent? Lift off imminent. Five,
49:55
four, three, nose, one, and
49:58
then you grab onto the nose. and
50:00
you pluck that cat out into the nose.
50:02
Yeah, you straddle it. And you
50:04
grab that cat out of
50:06
the tree on your way up. And then once
50:08
you get down, you hand the cat over to
50:11
its owners, presuming you know who they are. Or
50:14
you keep it, whatever is your choice that day.
50:17
One more follow up and then a sidebar. Yes,
50:19
sure. We have time for
50:21
one more follow up and one more sidebar.
50:23
Do I, my follow up, do I enjoy
50:25
riding my own nose? Is it pleasurable? Is
50:27
it fun? Is it exciting?
50:31
It hurts at first to detach from your face, but then it
50:33
is the most fun thing you will ever do in your life.
50:35
All right, my sidebar. Zachary doesn't
50:37
seem to be asking many questions. Well,
50:40
it's hard to get in here. I must say you're an expert
50:42
at playing the game. So
50:44
Zach, do you have a question though? I will recognize you.
50:49
We haven't heard a lot about the other scenario, by the
50:51
way, the magic pen. Magic penning. Not a word. Not
50:53
a word. My question is, so
50:56
if one has allergies and
50:58
sneezes a lot, it could be a terrible
51:01
thing. Depending on how
51:03
often you like to go riding around in the
51:05
sky. Well, oftentimes
51:07
the sneezes are inconvenient. And
51:10
if a sneeze is inconvenient, I
51:12
would imagine a trip to
51:15
space as you've done with Richard Branson. Indeed.
51:17
So you've already done that. Yes. So
51:20
you should consider that in your answer as well. May
51:23
I ask this? Oh, wow, okay. We never got
51:26
to a question from Zach. Zach
51:28
raises an interesting hint. Just
51:30
more of a rumination from him. I have a one
51:32
question. Is he gonna keep asking questions? When
51:36
the nose is detached and I'm
51:38
riding it, is it
51:40
still able to sneeze? Please,
51:43
please. James
51:45
or ALW, I beg of you. I must
51:47
know. Do not ask me any questions about
51:50
further sneezing. It's really grotesque. We
51:52
don't wanna frighten young children who have
51:54
been listening to this. How shall I ever sleep
51:56
again? Not for the ladies to listen to. It's
51:58
not polite conversation. I would imagine ladies aren't listening
52:01
to this to begin with would you be able to with the
52:03
magic penny? Hmm make requests Thank you
52:05
for using the British reflection. Sorry. I'm
52:07
wearing all my I appreciate it Here's
52:09
how the magic penny works Okay one
52:11
wish as long as it's a wish
52:13
for making your nose detach and riding
52:15
around with my question Yeah, so
52:18
any other wish will not be recognized by the
52:20
magic penny No other wish
52:22
would be recognized. No, that is the only
52:24
wish that we have my answer if that's
52:26
the case Okay, great any last one final
52:28
question for wishing incorrectly Is
52:32
there any penalty or punishment from the magical penny?
52:36
Yes, the magical penny as a punishment will make
52:38
your nose detached from your face Anytime
52:40
you sneeze so when you and then make you ride around
52:42
on it. I think I know what I'm going to do
52:44
Okay, so let's vote here Zach. How do you like to
52:46
vote? I'm gonna have to go with the nose Scenario
52:49
and why is that because of what you said last?
52:52
Mmm, that the only wish
52:54
that I would be granted from the
52:56
magical penny would be that my nose
52:58
become detached. Mm-hmm But
53:01
you never have to wish that if you don't want to I
53:03
thought you said that was the only sure That's the
53:05
only wish that you can get but I don't
53:08
have to wish no you can just Question.
53:10
All right spend that really track if you retract.
53:12
No, I'm sorry, but you already voted. No, no,
53:15
I'm sorry Missled you
53:17
miss I misled no one sir. It
53:19
sounds like those uh, you're out of
53:21
order Santa Monica Town
53:23
meetings they have on KCRW the
53:25
Bell town things. All right,
53:27
Dame sir alw How do you like
53:29
to vote bear in mind that Zach
53:32
perhaps incorrectly voted for the the
53:34
nose? Well knowing myself as
53:36
I do hmm if
53:38
I had that magical penny Mmm,
53:40
I'd probably inadvertently blurt out something
53:42
like I Wish my
53:44
nose would detach from my face every time I sneeze
53:47
that I could write it like a jetpack into the
53:49
stratosphere After a countdown after a
53:51
cow tell that we're all familiar with last
53:54
off Five
53:57
four three nose one. Yes
54:01
So I'm going to choose that scenario. Okay, so
54:03
you vote for the penny and that of course
54:06
is the correct answer. Because then I've got a
54:08
penny! Yes, and that is the correct answer which
54:10
Zack did not hit upon. Unfortunately he voted incorrectly.
54:13
So Damesur ALW... I did vote for a penny. No,
54:15
you voted for the no! Unfortunately,
54:17
which means you have lost the round,
54:19
which means Damesur ALW is our big
54:21
winner. A perfect game for... Does that
54:23
mean the contestant must leave? Must
54:26
find the egress. No,
54:28
but that is a perfect example of how
54:31
you play Would You Rather. Perfect. Jeremy
54:37
Bivin. Jeremy Bivin.
54:41
Jeremy. Jeremy. Jeremy.
54:43
Jeremy. Jeremy Bivin. Yeah!
54:50
I wonder if people sang that to him when he was... That sounded
54:52
like Pearl Jim. That
54:54
is of course how you play Would You Rather.
54:56
A stirring round, gentlemen. Thank you so much. That
54:58
was fantastic. Well, we only
55:00
have time for our greatest and most
55:03
final of all features on the show.
55:05
Finally, I've been thinking about it all
55:07
programing! The one that everyone... Zack, don't
55:09
look so defeated. It's the quickest, doesn't matter. Oh, it is.
55:11
Okay, very good. It's the feature... You don't have to do
55:13
anything. The feature that everyone loves the
55:15
most. They can't wait to get
55:18
to it. Much like you, gentlemen. It is of course
55:20
time for plugs. That
55:31
is of course a
55:34
plug theme sent to
55:36
us by the Ornithologian.
55:55
That was pretty good. I enjoyed that. It's
55:58
a clever name. Yes. a
56:01
person who worships birds. Yes,
56:03
I suppose so. Believes the divinity of birds.
56:06
Yeah, I wonder how the
56:09
legend of Gahul. Gahul! Yes,
56:11
I'm sorry, I mispronounced it. How they would feel about
56:13
that. Well, we'll never know. Well, they're
56:15
going to Owl Hell because the murderers. And the
56:17
suicide. Do you think if you get owl murdered,
56:19
you go to hell, really? You go straight to
56:21
heaven. If an owl murders you. Then
56:24
you go to Owl Heaven. You go, yes. Unfortunately,
56:26
it's Owl Heaven. But if you commit owl suicide,
56:28
you go to Owl Hell? I
56:30
think you go to purgatory. Oh, OK. You
56:33
ever see me documenting the staircase? Yes.
56:36
Well, that's the new defense, is an owl attack.
56:40
Really? An owl pushed two of my wives down
56:42
the stairs to their deaths. I
56:44
don't know of the one in Germany, but the one in
56:47
Durham, North Carolina, yes. All
56:49
right. Don't know what you're talking about. You
56:51
don't? You've never seen it? Nope, never seen it. Well, Floyd,
56:53
you've seen. Lloyd. Andrew
56:57
Floyd. Weber. Weber.
57:00
Finally, someone pronounces it correctly. You've
57:03
seen that documentary, right? Yes, I have. It's
57:05
true, though. Owl attack is the new defense,
57:07
or they're trying to make that the defense.
57:09
Do you feel that fellow would have been
57:11
acquitted if he listened to his lawyers and
57:13
trimmed his eyebrows? They
57:16
begged him to do it, and he wouldn't do it.
57:20
No idea what you're talking about. I
57:22
think most of the listeners will know.
57:25
Yeah, probably everyone. So
57:27
this is, of course, time for plugs, so we
57:29
want to get these out of the way. Zach,
57:31
what do you have to plug? Obviously, you have
57:33
due date coming out. Any day note? November 4?
57:35
November 5. Yep. That's
57:38
what I have. And how about the, it's kind
57:40
of a funny story. That comes out, or that's
57:42
already out. That's already out, and did people enjoy
57:44
that? I think so. I think it was number,
57:47
it's still number one in the box office. Great.
57:49
I had no idea. Top old Iron Man
57:51
2? You
57:53
mean number one for the entire year, right? Yeah.
57:55

1:00:19
did. But she doesn't anymore? This
1:00:23
one's run by a person. And
1:00:26
what is your second date? My, well,
1:00:28
Paul F. Tompkins' second date. Yes, that's
1:00:30
right. The Paul F. Tompkins show at
1:00:32
Largo at the Coronet in West Hollywood.
1:00:35
Special musical guest Ben Lee. Oh,
1:00:38
lovely. He's from Australia. So he is the descendant
1:00:40
of thieves and rapists. I saw
1:00:43
him at the old Largo. He was fantastic. Yes,
1:00:45
indeed. He's a fine fellow. Fine fellow. Would love
1:00:47
to get him on this program. Who else will
1:00:49
be on that show if you... It is not
1:00:52
confirmed yet to my knowledge. There's something in the
1:00:54
works, but it has not yet been confirmed. And
1:00:57
he also has the Paul F. Tompkast,
1:00:59
which is sweeping the nation. Yes. Well,
1:01:01
you're kind to mentoring it on his
1:01:03
behalf. The Paul F.
1:01:05
Tompkast, it's downloadable for free, don't you
1:01:08
know? Which is a... It's
1:01:10
nice at twice the price, which
1:01:12
would still be free. If it was double free. Well,
1:01:16
that is great. And what do I want to plug? I have...
1:01:18
What am I plugging? I know I
1:01:21
have something. For Christ's sake, what am
1:01:23
I doing? Oh yeah. No,
1:01:25
we have some stuff coming up. I don't want to talk
1:01:27
about it yet, but some very exciting... Oh, I'm sorry. Some
1:01:30
very exciting... I'll be talking about it in
1:01:32
the next couple of weeks in
1:01:35
November. It's some
1:01:37
big exciting stuff coming out. So we'll
1:01:39
talk about that. Bit of a cliffhanging.
1:01:41
Yes, of course. Well, I want to
1:01:43
thank my guests
1:01:46
here. You say that in quotes. My
1:01:49
guests. Zach
1:01:52
Galifianakis, thank you so much for dropping by and
1:01:55
spending the time with us. Yes. I really appreciate
1:01:57
it. You're a busy guy. Yes. And... And,
1:02:01
you know, it means a lot that you're here.
1:02:03
Thank you so much. No, I appreciate you having
1:02:06
me. Thank you. And, Damesur ALW, one
1:02:08
cannot express the graciousness that I feel
1:02:10
in my heart towards another human being
1:02:12
such as yourself. One shouldn't try. One
1:02:16
feels like he must. One
1:02:18
must let his heart do the talking. Can
1:02:21
you hear my heart? Of course I can. It's
1:02:24
like those belly fish. Then
1:02:28
nothing more needs to be said. Nothing
1:02:30
more must escape your lips. Alright,
1:02:33
well, I want to thank you guys
1:02:35
and... The most well-known. He's not really
1:02:37
ready to go, I don't think. Well,
1:02:40
I want to talk to... Just being polite. I want
1:02:42
to talk to Dylan. Oh, you're going to talk to
1:02:44
Dylan. Yeah, we've got to talk to Dylan. Say goodbye
1:02:46
to him. Whether it may, I recuse myself. I want
1:02:49
to hear one more song out of him, out of
1:02:51
this guy. Alright, Dylan? Yes,
1:02:53
ask him if he will play
1:02:55
another song. I will ask him. And
1:02:58
you'll sit there and like it. Of course
1:03:00
I will. What else
1:03:02
would I do? I'd take back what my
1:03:04
heart said. Who do, please? Don't go back
1:03:06
on your heart's promise to my ears. Alright,
1:03:09
when you put it that way, it's just so
1:03:11
beautiful and florid. I do wish
1:03:13
you would talk to Dylan and ask him to play
1:03:16
another song. I will. So we can all get out
1:03:18
of here. Alright, here we go. Ready? Here
1:03:20
we go. Are you sure? I'm ready.
1:03:23
I've never been more ready for anything. Can you
1:03:25
give me a countdown? Yes! The
1:03:27
countdown we're all familiar with. Countdown
1:03:29
imminent. Five, four,
1:03:32
three, nose one.
1:03:56

1:03:59

is $20, you know, when I was a kid in
1:08:40
2002 money. Anyway,
