there once was a man from Nantucket.

His name was Sven, and I think he sold health insurance.

Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang.

Hmm, thank you to Chas Fremont III for that cashphrase submission, Chas Fremont III, and welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week.

We have a great week.

I tell you, after a few

months where we had zero celebrities, no one wanted to come to my backyard.

Maybe we had a David Cross once in a while, you know, here and there.

But, you know, when you invite people to a backyard, celebrities mainly don't want to go there.

We're finally back in the studio.

All of August, we are just, the stars are out.

The stars are out in the night sky.

Who do you got showing up?

I don't want to say who we have.

We had Patton last week.

It's all people I know.

Holy shit.

Wow.

Holy shit.

But we do have a big Hollywood star coming up a little later.

We do have a celebrity chef.

We have a lawyer coming up a little bit later.

And yeah, our main guest played a lawyer on television and is still playing a lawyer.

He has another couple of episodes of his show.

It's called iCal Sal.

What is it called again?

God, I get Sal.

God, I get Sal.

There is another episode tonight.

If you're listening to this, the day it comes out, there's the final episode next Monday night.

No, no, there's four more.

well we're taping this in advance yes yes as we discussed previously i don't know how radio or podcast i'm on tour right now i'm all i'm i'm across the united states i'm not here in the studio unfortunately but yes there's two more episodes one tonight

is everything i see on tv pre-taped yes even the news even sports what yeah it's all happening five days earlier

the moon landing

that was the only thing that was lost no wonder i always lose in the casino.

I keep talking about casinos.

Yeah, I know.

We were talking about casinos before.

You've got casinos on the mind.

Maybe that is a glimpse inside the twisted mind of our main guest here.

He's got dollar signs behind his eyelids.

I love that fucking...

I love.

He's so twisted.

So twisted.

So strange.

He's got to be on drugs.

I know.

You got to be on drugs to do the things you do.

Not at all.

And it's not that.

Actually,

you show up pretty early and you.

Yeah, and it's like, it's never that.

Usually the things that that's brought up around are not that weird.

Well, it's also not your current life is weird.

I remember when David and I did

Comic Relief 8.

I remember that.

And we did

a few pieces.

Well, we did the naked phrase guests.

Right.

But also, as well, we did a brief.

moment where we did a fake infomercial.

Hey, get the Comic Relief t-shirt if you donate 50 bucks.

What can you use it for?

It'll protect you against spaghetti and watermelon and pizza pie, all that shit.

That joke.

Yes.

And it's just a fucking fun riff.

Sure.

And when we were, and it got laughs, it was great.

And when it was done, the deer, and I like her, Whoopi Goldberg goes, what was, I don't know what they're on.

I don't know.

I remember that.

That was a

fake infomercial.

We did the dumbest, most obvious, most hackneyed cliché.

Most hackneyed thing.

What do you mean?

Maybe the examples of the jokes were a little far out there.

I remember that being

a sticking point in the office for months after that.

I remember you guys flying back.

There's a lot of things you could say.

She could have said, no, that was hacky.

Sure.

That would have been fine.

I would have been a fan of that.

That's no sister act too.

Well, he's here.

I still haven't introduced him yet, but Bal Cal Sal is coming up, and let's welcome him back.

My old Mr.

Show buddy, Bob Odenkirk.

Many hamburgers to you.

And many hamburgers right back.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Cheeseburgers.

Hamburgers, in fact.

What?

Yeah.

We have never added hamburgers.

We've never added cheese to our traditional greeting.

This is exactly the type of weird twisted mind.

I'm a gentleman.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wow.

Incredible.

You are on drugs, Bob.

Are you not?

Bob, welcome back to the show.

Great to have you.

Great to see you, Bob.

You've been on since the early days.

We've known each other for now.

You knew me since I was a 25-year-old boy.

Now you're like a 40-year-old boy.

29.

43.

Do you think I'm 43?

I love that.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

I was thinking about when we first met each other, how I was but a boy, and I thought you were so much older than me.

And I don't think you were.

But I was probably 30.

You were probably 32 when we worked together.

And it's like, how, like,

you know, how can you ever expect like, and you were in charge and you were a 33-year-old kid?

I know, right but you seem like you seem like an old guy to me

well i had a kind of a old guy energy yeah don't you think you had plus you would you would spank us all

well

i was naked get give me that i mean hey we can agree on that

i was

you were naked and greased up

i didn't just spank you

i agree all right fine it was sexual yes okay

so I'm not just trying to hurt people.

But it is funny that

trying to get off.

In show business, we give these like boss roles to young kids just because they create a show that's really good.

And then you have to be in charge of a whole bunch of people.

Well, I was a Saturday Night Live writer, and that helped me know a bit about production because you kind of are put in charge of your pieces there.

Right.

And so, yeah, I had some.

And you knew it.

And I'd been at the Stiller show.

Right.

And you knew what you didn't want to do from previous jobs.

Yeah.

Right.

You didn't want it to be on Saturday.

You didn't want it to be live.

Yeah.

And definitely not at night.

No, never.

No.

Early mornings.

Yes.

Sometimes it would, the sun wouldn't be up, let's be honest, because they would come on at 6 a.m.

Depending on the time zone.

Right, right.

And that was, it felt a little like cheating.

Right.

But those are my rules.

And we did it.

And it was.

You had eight simple rules, did you not, for putting on a television show with your teenage daughter,

David Cross?

That's right.

You guys,

you, of course, that was the past.

The present is.

I'm about to talk about the past.

Oh, God.

I mean, it's bad enough.

I mean, you're probably doing a whole shit ton of press for a better.

What is this?

Gotta get Sal.

Got a gal, Sal.

Got a gal named Sal.

Got a gal named Sal.

And you, is all the press done, or do you still have more because the finale is coming up?

There's more.

Okay.

Always more.

Always more.

Until when?

Until next ME season?

So like another year?

Probably.

Yeah, because it actually will be.

Yeah, it'll be the last six or whatever or seven will be.

Votable or whatever.

Yeah.

So you'll have to keep kind of back.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I think that we're, this is our big final run here.

I mean, maybe we'll get a shot next year, but the last episodes are playing now.

And

I think they're some of our best work.

So I think we got to,

this is the time to tell people, if you like the show, give us a tick the box.

But we were talking before, you were telling, and I don't want to spoil this necessarily, but you were saying that this is a fake out, that this is a fake last season, and there's actually one more season.

I mean, it's not,

it's probably a spoiler, but I guess it's a spoiler.

We're going to do a whole nother like five more seasons.

Right.

But we're only going to, we're not going to tell anyone or have it broadcast in any way so that they'll continually be shocked and surprised at the news that, wait, they're doing more.

Yeah, they couldn't believe it.

They, it's all written.

I mean,

some of it is shy.

Well, everything.

You guys wrote everything five years in advance, usually.

Yeah, most of the show was written 15, 20 years ago, actually before I even

was in show business, but only marginally.

I heard that

episode one was written while the creator was like having sex with his wife and like

actually like God was having sex with his wife.

Yeah, yes, exactly.

No, you mean Vince.

Who is God's wife?

When you think about it, it's weird that he's a lonely bachelor, isn't it?

Mother Nature.

Okay, yeah, they get it on the bottom.

Oh my god, now,

but you were telling me that.

Isn't that kind of a harmless observation?

Yeah.

Potentially, you could say

God's wife is Mother Nature.

Yeah, it's harmless.

Who's going to get mad?

Who's going to get mad at mad?

The God just railing Mother Nature.

It's not Zeus.

It's not some god from some other religion.

It's just a generic

embodiment and personification of

the world.

Of goodness and earth and nature.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You were telling me the last episode of this season of Better Cow Bow.

The middle season.

Yeah.

Keep bowing.

Ends with Bob,

the Bob character.

You play Bob, right?

I'm Bob.

I play a character named Bob Odenkirk, which is so lucky for me

that my name is.

Otherwise, it would get confusing on set where they're like, Bob, we're ready for you.

Right.

Yeah.

And and I would be like, what, who's my character?

I'm Saul, but whatever.

I play a character named Bob Otenker who's gotten a job as Saul Goodman.

And he has to act like this Saul Goodman guy.

And he's, yeah, he's acting, and he's also constantly checking his ratings to see how his show's doing.

Right.

He's very, very interested in that.

And so he's constantly injecting.

excitement and energy and drama into this otherwise bland job, simple job.

Right.

A guy with a pretty boring anodyne life.

Right.

Two children and a wife.

And the thing that was so hard about doing it, Scott, was I'd never been a lawyer.

And I had to pass the bar.

And

this is what you have to do.

And Jared Leto.

Leto, I believe it's pronounced.

I think he'd prefer everyone change it to Leto.

He prefer we all change it to Leto.

All right.

This is going to be a lot of paperwork for me, but okay.

Jared Leto and

Bronson Pincho.

They got together on this?

Toe and show?

Called me from sag they both called me at the same hellas jar this they call it was it they both called you at the same time or from like a when i got the job you get a call from a sag representative and those two and they are there to say you know listen you are very lucky you are in the club but you have to do you know you have to we you can't just pretend you know you have to do this thing you gotta do the research so they had me lose weight then i had to gain weight then get they just dialed it in perfectly.

Right.

So I actually was like a pound less than I was when I started this whole fucking business.

So they said lose weight.

You lost 40 and then gain lost 60.

And then

you're testing me to see if I had the

schmutz.

Yeah.

And

then

I got the right weight and then I had to pass the bar and then I had to,

you know, change my name, just all Goodman.

Right.

Oh, you changed your illegally.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Or did you do it illegally?

I did it legally.

You did illegally.

Okay, great.

All the way up to the Supreme Court.

I mean, this is they took that case.

Wow.

Okay.

Yeah.

They, they have so many, you know, almost every you hear about the big ones, abortion, whatever.

You only hear about the big ones.

But they do the little tiny ones all the time.

Can this guy change his name?

Can that guy change his name?

My license was expired.

They took care of that?

Have you ever gone to court?

I mean, it goes up to the Supreme Court very quickly.

Yeah.

Well, I once got a parking ticket that I I didn't show up for, and I went to.

Right.

Odds are.

They just kick it upstairs?

They keep kicking it upstairs.

Oh, my God.

And

the nine justices, there's only nine.

This is what

we need more.

The wonderful nine.

We need 300, 400 of these.

I mean, thousands.

Why not?

You know what's better than a million?

A billion.

As I said in the social network.

Not starring Bob Odenkirk, our guest today.

I once wrote wrote a sketch for Saturday Night Live called The Jillionaire.

And he was the guy who helped billionaires when they were low on funds.

What would he do?

He would loan them money, or he would just like...

He would be like, you're in trouble, and I'm going to help you.

I'm going to give you a couple million dollars you need to carry you, tide you over.

But it was like,

yeah, he did.

That was the adventure.

It was like, find a billionaire in trouble and help him.

What happened to that sketch?

Can I ask?

It didn't get on.

What?

But you were telling me, Bob, that the very last episode of this season ends with you turning to camera and doing the Dekembe Mutumbo and going, ah, ah, ah, we're back.

We're back next season.

I don't know that reference.

Ah, ah, ah.

Is that a TikTok thing?

TikTok thing?

It's sports.

He would wag his finger all the time at the crowds because they would be booing him.

This is what I don't know.

I'm looking to my sports guy.

And he's on the phone, not listening.

I'm not seeing it, but I'll have to check it out.

But you do wag your finger.

At the end of the episode, episode, and it's

a spoiler for probably pretty much everybody, but I do look into the lens and I wag my finger and it's kind of

told you so, caught you, gotcha, caught you.

Made you look.

Made you look at the whole series.

Because you were on right before the finale of Breaking Bad, many years ago, one of our earlier episodes, and

you spoiled that episode for us, which ended with Walter White's son on the skateboard.

His legs were fixed, and you said, look what I can do.

I remember you telling us.

And so I just want a similar spoiler.

You know, it's like, look.

Well, what happens in the end,

we know that this character, Saul, Jimmy, whatever, Eugene, Bob Odenkirk,

gets a sex change.

Surprisingly, Kim, the woman he loves, gets a sex change, and they can,

do it at the same time.

Do they do face-off surgery as well?

They do.

And then they are together again as a couple forever.

Incredible.

This is big news.

Yeah, and they do live forever.

That's kind of...

That shows.

So they're like eternals or

immortals?

Immortal.

Do they have that surgery?

How did they get that?

That is actually an accident of...

What are they hit by a car and suddenly...

No, the tanning booth that they go in and something's wrong.

they switch it off and it makes you live forever.

Oh, okay.

Got it.

It's not important.

It's a great idea for a show, but

barely.

Oh, you're okay.

So it's going to be about them as a couple.

The next couple seasons are them as a couple.

Do they get vocal surgery as well where they switch voices or is it the same voices but in different bodies now?

Well, that's the challenge production-wise because I'm going to have to record all my lines into her voice and her voice will go into my voice.

And

you can't do it any other way and yeah in fact

you know it's are you gonna do it live in front of a studio audience though we're gonna do it live in front of a studio audience as large as we can get yeah maybe

like arenas or maybe even stadios or

I don't want to give too much away but we're gonna have you ever seen the Pink Floyd

movie Pink Floyd at Pompeii at Pompeii no I haven't seen that one we're gonna shoot it you're doing it at Pompeii yeah in front of the old in the old theater whoa There.

And the old surround theater.

Because it's actually the best sound.

Do you think it'll ever go off in the middle of a show?

That would be the dream.

Like, suddenly you're doing a show.

Did you do a volcano go off?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, we're trying to make that happen because that would be a real cliffhanger moment.

Yeah, it would.

It was hard to get volcanoes to go off, you know.

Yeah, what can you really do?

Like set depth charge explosives?

Well, there's a lot you can do.

And we're doing all of it.

And it's going to cost a lot of money.

And boy, I hope people watch.

Boy, oh, boy.

Because we'll all die.

Sure.

But, I mean, we all have to die.

But it'll be frozen in place.

That's the thing.

That's what's beautiful.

You see all these, like, you know, statues or skeletons from Pompeii.

Man, they're famous.

They're all famous.

Everyone who died in Pompeii.

Yes, we all know.

They're eternally in that.

Yeah, in that

doing.

Yeah.

Can you imagine?

Okay, everyone, we're acting out the poses that we're doing.

Like, everyone's sort of like reaching to the sky, like, hey, lava, don't fall on me.

Can you imagine doing something embarrassing and that be what's like you're eternally known for?

Like, you're scratching your butt or something like that.

You know, how terrible would that be?

It would be, but I think a big wall of hot lava is going to make you get your attention away from your itchy ass.

I don't know.

I mean, as itchy as it can get, you know, who knows?

I don't know.

Bob, you went through a health scare while you were filming the Cowbell Sal show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is this an Easter egg?

Cowbell Sal.

Cowbell Sal.

More Cowbell Sal.

Is this an Easter egg in the show where there's a scene where suddenly you clutch your heart and it abruptly cuts away and it made it into the show as like an Easter egg?

I'm just kind of hoping the audience doesn't notice.

I'm actually dead for about half a scene.

Half a scene?

Right.

Turn gray.

And so the sputtering.

They're cutting back to your coverage, though.

You know, they said,

they weren't sure if it was.

an acting choice.

And then they, when they saw it, they went, I, we just like it.

They asked, it's just like, can we use it?

Can we use it?

And I was like, look, I was on the clock.

I was getting paid.

You're getting paid either way.

What are you doing?

Sure, if you guys think it's great.

So my character, and it does seem a little strange, just shuts down, falls to the ground, turns gray, can't breathe.

And they carry on with the scene.

Wow.

Professional.

As troopers.

Yeah.

And

that's Showbiz.

That's a nice.

And then after they yelled cut, a minute or two later.

So a minute or two after the yelled yelled cut?

Yeah, I didn't have oxygen for, I don't know, not long, 17, 20, 40 minutes.

Somewhere, yeah, not that big of a big brain.

I lost about half my brain, but you know, they say you only use 10% of your brain.

Yeah.

So did you lose the half that wasn't part of that 10 or did you lose?

Yeah, the doctors did an MRI and they said, everything, you don't use any of the part you lost at all.

In fact, we can take it out, and they are going to take it out.

Oh, they are.

What are they going to do with it?

Well, I don't know.

They're just going to throw it away.

I'd love to have it if you

don't mind giving it to me.

I mean, sure, but they're just going to throw it away.

Really, you know, those medical waste

containers,

going to throw it into that, you know.

And so that's coming next week.

And then I'll be lighter, physically lighter.

I'll have less in my head.

That's great.

And they don't replace it with anything.

It's just literally empty.

And the rest of your brain just flops around in there.

And I guess you can.

It's got a little more room, you know?

Yeah, it's not a thing.

It doesn't change anything about who you are.

So if you're like shaking your head in disagreement, you'll hear like a sloshing sound or something.

Wow.

That's amazing.

Congrats, man.

Yeah, well, I, you know, a lot of people get surgery on their faces or whatever.

I want the inside changed.

I want the inside of me different.

That's the thing.

The outside is perfect.

And you've worked hard to get it.

I've had some of my intestines taken out.

Really?

Which ones?

Long?

Short?

Well, I can't decide.

I'm flipping a coin.

I'm trying to decide.

I like them both.

Yeah, they're both great.

I mean, they both do, but I think I'm going to get rid of the large intestine.

Yeah.

Most of it.

Because I'm just like, well, it's large.

Yeah, I know.

So

let's get it.

Medium?

Can we get it?

My God, can we agree on a medium intestine for once?

Really need.

I'm good.

Small one's not taking up a lot of room.

No.

Bothering me with a lot of issues.

Ah, geez.

But meanwhile, I got this large one.

I tell you.

So small and medium is going to work for me.

And other things, too.

Sure.

Yeah, what about some bones?

You know, yeah, I don't think I need all my bones.

You see that your feet have 500 bones.

It's like, come on, let's get this down to 25.

You know what I mean?

Like, that's a manageable number.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Everybody.

You know, the ear.

The ear bones, too.

They say that's like you have a million in there.

It's like, yeah.

I didn't know that.

The only bone that counts, though.

Am I right, buddy?

Morning wood.

That's true.

To be clear.

Let's use

medical chart.

Let's just be clear what we're talking about.

Morningwood at this point.

Well, better,

better.

Got to get that guy.

He's...

Come on, Sal.

Come on, get over here.

He's only on our television screens for

another week, another eight days, another eight days.

And then you can't see him anywhere.

Never.

No,

they delete it.

I think that's fair, too.

For every television show that they make, they should delete one.

That's right.

You know?

Yeah, because otherwise it's too many and

a half time.

It's not bothering.

I think now that you guys have made these shows, they should go back and delete the Sopranos.

I know.

Because

they're about as good.

You know what I mean?

Right.

Yeah.

They have to be as equally good as well.

Yeah.

So if I'm from, you know, two years from now, they'll, three years from now, they'll get rid of my show and Severance moves into

post.

Yeah.

Post-world.

Exactly.

Yeah.

It's the way TV works and it's the way the business has always been, and I think it's good.

Yeah.

What about those movies?

You know, there's

you did that nobody one, and the main difference to me is

there's like 29 frames per second in TV

between its characters and the story of the two things, the two projects that are

in the nobody, the main difference.

The main difference is, yeah, there's 29.

29 frames per second

in the TV and 24 in the movie.

Is that what?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the difference.

I mean, essentially, if somebody's watched Better Call Saul, you'd say to them, did you like it?

Would you like it at a different frame rate?

Yeah.

And check out Nobody.

And if you've seen Nobody and they go, what's that Saul show like?

Well, would you like fewer frames?

I think it's more, isn't it?

I'm not sure.

29.4?

Who knows?

Are you going to make another one of those movies and call it like somebody or like they're also nobody?

Or like, what are you going to do?

First of all, thank you for that suggestion.

it's never been uttered before okay by anyone

uh

i think we're trying to get one made more nobody is well

yes in fact that's the title okay nobody is well indeed um you are though i mean the you know you got uh jason manzoukis in in that other movie the john wick three uh you know is he yeah oh yeah yeah he should you should fight him in this new movie jason yeah

in the film or off stage Either one.

During the movie.

During the making of the stage.

During the making of the movie.

Oh, yeah.

I'd like you to find it.

All right.

Yeah.

I can bring your idea, and I think it's a hand of God.

It's a good idea.

I don't know if I could take him.

He's younger than me, spry.

Yeah.

Well,

I think I have a little bit.

Slightly younger.

Slightly sprier.

You mentioned hand of God.

You were saying before the show that you're now incredibly religious

and that everything has led to you just basically now having a close personal relationship with you.

I wake up every day.

I get baptized in the morning.

I get last rites at night.

Just in case.

Just in case.

How long do those last rites last?

That's the thing they call them the last night.

Oh, they last all night.

You can sleep in.

Is it a 24-hour thing, though?

Absolutely.

You can sleep in.

Great stuff.

I have a little altar in my pocket.

I can pull it out and start praying.

Yeah, now you see, it's what it is, Scott, is now that I've succeeded in my career and I have a certain degree of satisfaction in that department,

now I care about

my purpose and meaning of my existence.

Right.

So

like a lot of people who get to this place in their lives and their career, I'm all about, you know, self-empowerment, self-awareness, meditation, yogurt.

Yogurt?

Yogurt?

Yogurt?

Yogurt.

Yogurt.

Yogurt.

Yes.

And all that stuff has come to me now because I'm rich and old.

You can finally afford it.

And I can afford to fuck around and do nothing.

You can pay people to do all your errands and stuff.

Yeah.

So now I'm suddenly really captivated by that.

That's incredible.

I think it's the most important thing, actually.

Congratulations.

Now that I've made the money that I need to live.

Yeah.

And so I think I'm a pretty good person and maybe even an extra special person because of my focus now on myself.

If only the poor people could afford to.

You know, I just look around and I feel so bad.

And it's just like other people are not as smart as me.

They're not as aware as I am about just existential.

It's a word I just.

You didn't work as hard as you to get where you got as well.

I think I deserve everything I've gotten and

probably more, a little bit more.

And now

for me, time.

Yes.

And I think it's really about time I focus on me.

I think I need to meditate and focus on nothingness and myself.

Are you going to climb up any mountains or anything like that?

Do any of those kind of like treks?

Yeah, I'm going to do some adventures.

I just want to challenge myself as long as

I'm really well cared for the whole time.

Exactly.

It's like glamping, in other words.

Yeah.

Like if you could glamp up on Mount Everest, would you?

Oh, yeah.

Helicopter to the top.

Yes.

Thank you.

Stay in a casino.

I'll bring it up again.

Here it is.

Stay in a casino.

Maybe.

A tent.

A tent, but it has at least two slot machines

back around.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Every machine just has changed.

The top of every.

You know, have you noticed that?

What do you mean?

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Do you remember the mom and pop casino sketch that we were all trying to write

several times?

We should have been able to write.

We should have been able to, but we never could.

But it was all about.

I remember the one iteration was about a mom and pop.

It was basically a bed and breakfast casino, and they had one slot machine, and it paid out the $5 million

jackpot, and they couldn't afford it.

And they were like, well, I guess we could borrow a couple thousand from our next door neighbor.

It was just the disintegration of this mom and David.

That was a great idea.

It was a good idea.

Let's do more Mr.

Show.

Okay, let's do it.

Or at least the other show.

What was the other show called?

With Bob and David.

With Bob and David.

Is that coming back even after the...

As it turns out, I don't think people care that much to see older folks do sketch comedy.

Interesting.

Is it a young man's game or a young's young person?

I think it is a young person's game.

I actually think that that's the lesson from that awesome show.

I mean, I think it was a great show.

I'm very proud of it.

I think it was very funny and silly and perfect.

It's just like, who wants to see?

You don't want to see old people do that.

You don't want to see these.

There's something about it.

The energy for sketch has to be coming from a young face.

Well, it's like when you watch The Irishman and you're seeing young Robert De Niro's face on this extremely old man's body waddling around and barely able to run.

That's what it feels like watching with Bob and David, right?

No,

we did a great job and it's great.

It's just the audience is not going to go down for it.

Well, I still think that.

That's my theory.

I have a lot of theories.

You do.

You're one of the people who has the most comedic theories I've ever met.

No, you're not.

I know a lot of people in comedy feel like it's dumb to make theories and rules.

And I think rules are kind of dumb, but theories are not dumb.

They're good.

They're fun to have.

I mean, I know one guy who had one,

and

his name was

an apple fell on his head.

And he was suddenly like,

hey, maybe there's this thing called gravity.

And his name was

Isaac Newton.

Gosh.

I wanted to say Asimov for a long time, and someone may have slipped me the answer.

Jesus.

Look, we can agree that i'm not smart right was i the dumbest the dumbest writer you ever worked with

well i've worked with myself you know oh and brian pussan

boy what a room that was

talk about geniuses

ah well bob yeah brent forrester went to columbia and they had a perfect sat he was the only person scored a perfect sat the only person who was ever one of the mr show writers who went to college is that right whoever graduated from college no i graduated from college.

You graduated from college?

I did.

From which one?

Southern Illinois University.

Wonderful.

I'm very happy with myself.

Well, Southern Illinois' best is here with us right now.

Bob Odenkirk.

He's saying goodbye to his television.

He's throwing his television away after next week.

After years of, you know.

You're just going to rip it out of the wall.

Yeah.

Just throw it right in the ash can.

It's done me good.

I've done well from it.

Yeah.

You know?

And the fact that you have to have your TV to be on TV and that.

It seems inconvenient, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Well, every child knows, you know, you get a box and you cut it out and then you put a show on.

Yeah.

And that's how we do Saul.

Exactly.

You have your TV set.

And they've filmed that.

Break out.

It's a fake TV.

Yeah, it's a fake TV set.

A lot of people don't know.

When you turn on your TV, there's a little even tinier TV in the frame of your TV.

Just barely, but

that's what we're filming.

Yeah.

Is you guys guys behind that TV.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's an

arduous process and totally unnecessary.

But it is worth it.

It's working wonderfully.

It's worth it because the show is so amazing.

Now, speaking of wonderfulness,

well, we have to take a break if that's okay.

But I know you're done with the interview portion of the show.

What's going on?

There's only so many fake questions we can do before we have to go to a break.

But we do have to go to a break.

We have a celebrity chef here, Bob.

This is exciting.

Oh, we also have a lawyer, and you played a lawyer on this show, Cal Balsall.

We're going to be right back.

We have more Bob Odenkirk, more comedy bang bang.

We'll be right back with more after this.

Hey, everyone, Scott Auckerman here of Comedy Bang Bang, and I want to tell you about a podcast that I think you're going to enjoy.

In fact, I enjoy it, and I was on it.

That's right.

It's called Mega, a completely improvised satire from a fictional mega church.

Each week, hosts Holly Lawrence and Greg Hess interview a character in the mega church with hilarious appearances by your favorite comedians like Jason Manzoukis, who plays both baby and adult Jesus all in the church programs.

Andy Daly as a man desperate to get the life of Brian taken off the shelves of video stores.

And Lauren Lapkis, who's the teenaged greeter at the info desk in the church lobby.

And of course, there's me.

I play the intimacy coordinator for the Christmas pageant.

And Mega was named best satire by Vulture.

And even Mike Pence said, I listen to Mega

every Sunday with my wife before church.

What?

Wow.

Incredible testimonial.

So go follow and listen to Mega wherever you get your podcasts.

Company, bang, bang, we're back.

Bob Odenkirk of Cowbell Sal

is here, and there is more Cowbell in this season.

Oh, my God.

Actually, it's not more the biggest Cowbell.

Oh, that's what he meant.

Oh, okay.

So actually,

the world's biggest or United States biggest?

Oh, the world's biggest.

The world's biggest.

We pulled out all the stops.

I mean, this thing is.

It's not a hologram.

Really?

How big is it?

Like six feet?

Six feet.

You're laughing.

What is it?

Seven?

It's

the size of an Olympic pool upside down, cowbell-sized.

Cowbell-sized Olympic pool upside down?

Such a thing.

I mean, wait till you see it on your television set, and you'll go like this.

It's probably going to look smaller.

It's a little bit better I've loved for years.

Cowbell Sal, played by Bob Odenkirk, and then Ray Ciono's Kim Wexler.

And you're just going to see, like, wow, here comes the biggest cowbell I've ever seen.

They're talking about it, and they have emotion.

Do I have to buy a bigger TV for it or what do I?

The dealer is there going, I don't want that cowbell in my town.

Ding, ding, ding.

Does he do the ding-dings?

That's what the cowbell is for.

Scott, spoiler alert, but I love you for it.

You pay attention.

Yes.

You pay attention.

I knew it.

I knew if I watched.

I knew how you know.

I knew if I watched this like every other episode of the show.

It was occasional

to be you

and go, hey, I saw the bell.

I remember.

Yeah, I remember the bell.

I saw it.

Here's the largest cowbell in the world.

And it's really going to make Breaking Bad look like...

Like the world's biggest piece of shit, honestly.

Well, not.

Let's put it in bell terms.

Okay.

Like a...

Like a bell-shaped piece of shit?

No, what are you trying to say?

It's going to make Breaking Bad look like a little bell on the

skate of a 10-year-old

figure skater.

Yeah, who's taking a shit?

It's going to make it look like a bell on a cat, like

a pussy cat's neck.

Yeah, so you know where your cat is.

And this goddamn show, Cowbell Sal, and I tell you, I think people are going to turn their TVs off and kick them and throw them out the window.

Yeah.

I say, I saw it.

I saw all the shit.

People say, do you watch TV?

I saw it.

I already saw that.

I already saw TV.

I don't need any more.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Well, thanks for the build-up, and I think we're going to make people happy.

Yeah, I really do.

We need to get to our next guest, though.

Speaking of making people happy.

Oh, please.

I'm sorry.

He is.

Oh, no, not at all.

I love talking to you, of course, but he's a celebrity chef.

Let's talk to him here.

He's never been on the show before.

Bobby Flag is here.

Hey, it's so great to be here with you, Scott.

Hey, Bobby.

Bob, obviously, you know, he's a huge celebrity.

Two Bobbies.

And I, you know, I actually think we met a few years ago, maybe in 2012, 13.

I can't remember what it was.

One of my residents.

I think it was probably a Bar American.

I think he had an after-party at Bar America for some, I don't know what the fuck it was.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But it was so great to see me.

I vaguely remember, and I loved it.

The burgers were great.

We had the slider stage, a big slidest day.

Everybody, you know, make your own sliders.

You sort of one of those fun peaks behind the curry.

Everybody got to go back in the kitchen and pick out different proteins and everything.

I don't like that because I'm like, I'm paying you to do it.

Why do I have to make my own thing?

No,

it's fun.

You know, you get in there, you get dirty, and

we actually try to make it as realistic, you know, a night in the kitchen.

The theme of the party was night in the kitchen.

I don't even remember that.

I do remember.

I remember it very well.

I loved it.

So the whole party was like,

and you showed up.

You had to get there, punch your punch card.

Yeah, you had to show up pretty early, 4 a.m.

You actually had to fill out a form to get a job.

You got W-9 and everything?

Yeah, I had you shucking oysters for three or four hours.

Doing prep work?

Yeah, he was doing prep work.

Marion ketchups.

Marion ketchups and sort of roly silver and everything.

And yeah, the whole idea behind the whole thing, and we do it with everybody, you know, a lot of different productions, you know, a lot of productions like it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Colin and Scarlett, you know, call me over sometimes and we, you know, we'll chop it up with them.

You know, do a night at the kitchen for us.

But like the big hit is that I abuse you like I would abuse kitchen staff.

Oh, okay.

So like, and do you normally do that?

I, I, yeah.

Yeah, you just yell at people.

I don't really know that much about that.

Sometimes I think you meant it.

Some sometimes it's meant.

Sometimes, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's.

It's hard to tell.

I mean, it's like negative reinforcement or whatever.

Some people say it's bad.

I, I, I wouldn't even call it abuse.

I would more just call it sort of yelling and occasional violence.

Right.

Okay.

So, like, so if I were to be, like, what job do I have when I'm at one of these parties?

I'm a waiter.

You're a little long.

I don't know that I'd put you front of house, honestly.

I think I would probably get you started on prawns and, you know, some of the bigger crustaceans.

I don't get to be front of house.

No, yeah.

I've just shucked both.

Looking at you, I would put it.

Because I'm too long?

Yeah, you're too long.

All right.

All All right.

I'll do it.

No, you got a good body for it.

I like to get people who are shaped, you know, like

a shrimp or Langostino or something.

I like to put them on the

shaped like a shrimp.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, I think you kind of curl it.

Like curled up.

You're so long, I bet you curl up.

You know, on a Delta One flight, I bet you just curl up.

You know what I mean?

Oh, okay.

I guess I know what you mean.

So I'm shucking prawns.

I do know what you're talking about.

I remember now the night that I was there.

Yeah, you were there.

Everybody was sorted by body type.

Sort of, sorted by body type and what the animal they look the most like tend to be how you know.

So say I'm chucking these prawns and then I make a mistake.

Is that when you would yell at me?

Oh, you're a piece of shit.

Are you ugly?

Ugly.

Your family's the wrong religion.

Again, half of it is true and half of it is true.

Which is half is true.

Your feet are too big.

That's true.

Your one foot's bigger than the other.

That's weird.

That's bad.

Yeah, yeah.

My family being the wrong religion.

How can you ascertain what's the right religion?

Ah, you know.

Yeah, you look at somebody, you go, you guys shouldn't be Catholic.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

You mean it depends on each person.

You don't know the right religion.

Well, I mean, the insult would be different.

I mean, those are just insults for you.

I could insult Bob, you know, completely differently.

Yeah, yeah.

Do it.

Do it to Bob if you don't.

I remember I was slow.

You were slow.

I wasn't sure what I was doing.

What was your job?

What was your body type?

What animal do you look like?

Well, I have kind of a long torso.

Oxtails.

Oxtails.

You put me right on oxtails.

I could see.

This doesn't seem efficient to have one person just doing one ingredient.

Well, it's a really good ingredient.

I mean, that's a chef cut.

I know

a bad butcher would throw that away.

As a chef, I look at the oxtail.

I go, oh, it's

a nice smart.

I don't mean to get in your business.

So what were you saying to Bob here?

So I was working with the oxtails, and I had to.

It was like a Caribbean thing.

We were sort of doing like a Caribbean slice.

Like a jerk.

I had to put the jerk flavoring on them, you know, spices and the oils, and I had to marinate them.

I had to double check, constantly checking the time.

We were there like nine hours while we were marinating.

I had to put him in the oven, off the oven, in the fridge.

Yeah.

I mean, it was.

There's a lot of work, and you were doing

me take the oxtails home, he said.

Take them home.

You had to come back the next day with him?

No, no, no.

Same day.

Get in the car.

Take them home.

Put them in the front room.

You know, whatever.

Get an errand.

Do an errand.

Yeah, do you have a rumpus room?

You have like some kind of bonus room, somewhere you keep all your collectibles, your stupidity.

action figures and shit.

And then

get them back, and then I will call you, he said, and then be back here.

Yeah.

Fast.

I need you back here, yeah.

And so he wasn't doing this right.

And so, how would you?

He was a little, so you say, he said I got caught in traffic, and I said, you're cooking with Bobby Flay.

Well, you mean traffic?

You get out of the car, you walk.

Yeah, or take an ambulance.

Take an ambulance, take rent an ambulance if you can't be working with me.

Don't I got the full treatment and I loved it.

I got yelled at.

I got kicked.

I got thrown.

Everybody there lushed.

They thought it was so funny.

It's the grease.

What about the grease pit?

Tell them about the grease pitcher.

It was a grease pit?

Well, you know, the grease pit, it's not really so much a grease pit as sort of like

a speakeasy kind of thing.

It was called the grease pit.

Yeah.

So it's why you go like the floor was very

exceptionally sticky.

It's a room in the, we could never get that floor cleaned well enough.

Oh, okay.

But I turned it into kind of a speakeasy, just sort of like hang out with some of the celebrities that we would have there for some of those parties.

You know, Bob was there, Jake from Stay Farm.

Jake from Stay Farm.

Yeah, Maxie Nash.

We had

Animal Veen, Jared from Subway.

So it was, you know, it was a pretty fun little party.

And you get the right people, right group of people.

You know, a chef wants to bring together the right group of people.

Yeah, he wants to make magic with a bunch of fans.

So if it's a Bobby Flay party, if it's a night at the kitchen, you know, I want to find the right people.

Yeah, wow.

So I got to ask, though, at what point?

Michael, oh, wow.

Carson from Queer Eye.

Carson from Down Abbey.

Oh, really?

Carson from Down Abbey?

Mr.

Carson?

So at what point do people get to actually enjoy the party and the food that they are all?

Well, it's a slider style night.

I mean, it's sliders.

I mean, everybody loves sliders.

In the end, it's just sliders.

Just sliders.

What do you do all?

Frawns and oxtails.

You do all that.

That's just prep work for the next night.

Do you use the food then in your restaurants?

Because we just had sliders.

If I remember, there was a lot of prep.

That was the fun part.

Everybody's doing prep.

Doja Cats did.

All day, all morning, all afternoon.

And then here comes the sliders and then go in the room and make your sliders.

And and then well i try to stagger out the the the popular proteins you know what i mean i mean i wanted the oxtails like the whole thing with you going home coming back i mean part of that's the abuse part of that is like it's 3 a.m we're partying uh sean dawn sean john's there sean john uh uh uh we i remember when adrian brody introduced him on snl

yeah

yeah i mean that was pretty crazy i don't think he's i don't think he's allowed back there i mean that's that's pretty nice i mean i wouldn't know i don't work there so i i hang out with collins sometimes I hang out with Scarlet.

You hang out with Colin and Scarlett.

Yeah, I hang out with Scarlet.

Scarjo, is that what people call her?

Daryl.

Daryl?

Darahammon.

Oh, Daryl.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

You're red.

Wally from Q Cards.

Wally from Q Cards at these parties?

This is amazing.

So you just throw the food away or what do you do?

No, no, no, no, no.

That's the theme of the night.

The theme of the night is what the people would throw away, but a chef likes it.

Okay.

Like chicken thighs.

Right.

Nobody wants that.

But then you show us how to make it great.

How do you make a chicken thigh great?

Okay, but then you make them and then you just have to eat sliders?

Well, I mean, that's that's all.

What happens to chicken thighs?

The chicken thigh, it's chicken sliders.

Oh, okay.

It's a slider theme, night at the kitchen.

The theme of the proteins is what a regular person would throw away now that a chef loves to cook.

I'm sorry, I feel like you're yelling at me, and I didn't sign up for one of these parties.

I don't want the city.

I mean, obviously, you couldn't throw down with me in kitchen stadium.

I mean, that's pretty clear.

I don't think I want to throw down with you in Kitchen Stadium or anywhere else, really.

No, you don't.

You don't want to.

Yeah.

I'm so, you know,

you look at me, you think, okay, he's an East Coast guy, Southwest Flavors.

I do look at you, Southwest Flavors.

Yeah, West Coast.

I don't know about the attitude,

East Coast, anger, Southwest.

Yeah, East Coast issues.

That's just the kind of guy I am.

East Coast guy, Southwest Flavors.

Yeah, vowel choice, you know, probably East Coast.

Casual.

I've heard of it.

So we were actually cooking Toidarian.

That's what Watto is.

I don't know.

Watto from episode one.

It's on Tatooine.

He's a pretty big character.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's kind of like a Jewish, like

an anti-Semitic stereotype, anti-Armenian stereotype.

And that's what you made the meat out of.

He's a Toidarian.

And so we actually secured some Toidarian Primals.

How did you get Toidarian?

We got Toidarian Primal.

Celebrity Chef, I know how to get meat.

This is amazing.

Yeah, so it was a really special night.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I guess so.

So what are you up to now, Bobby?

I mean, like, do you have a new book?

I have a new show coming out, and I would love to throw it to it.

Throw it to the show right now.

Throw to, oh, meaning we're going to play some of the show?

Okay.

Yeah.

Can we do that?

Do we, I've never done clips on it.

Okay, yeah, whatever you need to do.

I do.

I mean, this is just sort of what I do.

It's like

we just talk in this way, talking this way, you know.

Okay.

And we're shooting Bobby, Beat Bobby Flay.

You know, Be Bobby Flay, is that what the show is called?

I could do another show called Be Bobby Flay.

That's actually probably a pretty good one.

I'll tell my assistant about that later.

Okay.

So Beat Bobby Flay, you know, I.

Beats Bobby Flay.

Beat Bobby Flay Bobby Flay.

I'm sorry, it's the East Coast vowel choices and the consonant.

I'm sorry, but I'm trying to.

It wouldn't last 20 minutes in my kitchen.

Okay, so Beats Bobby Flay.

Wait, if we shoot B, Bobby Flay, and they'll cut to me, and I got to to explain, you know, for the Food Network, because you know who watches Food Network.

It's the idiots.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I guess.

You've got many shows there, though.

If I start a red sauce, you know, I'm going to have to do a cutaway and explain what the hell a red sauce is.

What is a red sauce?

I guess I don't even know.

It's like a sauce that's red?

It's got tomatoes.

It's a tomato-based sauce.

Tomato-based sauce.

So sorry.

It's okay.

I apologize.

I mean, trying your best, Bobby, and I just think you reach out over and over again to everyone.

But people just don't know food.

They just let you down.

I mean, I suddenly suddenly felt very intimidated by you that I didn't know what a Red Sox was.

I assumed it was.

Yeah.

A lot.

Well, sure.

All the time.

No, I got cats.

I got an adult daughter.

Cats, adult daughter.

Southwest flavors.

Yeah, yeah.

East Coast attitude.

East Coast attitude, West Coast guy.

So

there's elements of my life that I really enjoy.

And then there's stuff that,

I mean, Bob, people don't change.

It's rough stuff.

Yeah.

People change, but people don't change.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, we try to get real on the show, and thank you, Bob, for asking the real questions.

I wanted to throw to a show.

He's excited about the food.

Yeah.

And I love that.

That's great.

I can tell it's just covering up for

a real emptiness.

I can really see the sadness behind your eyes.

I mean, you know, this kind of feeling is great for like a cutaway if I have to explain what a gravy is or whatever.

Yeah.

But you really got to turn it up if you're throwing to another package on Food Network.

It is a gravy.

I mean, I've had gravy, but what?

It's like what?

It's fats suspended

in a liquid.

Like, is there flour?

It's like an emulsion, sticker than emulsion typically involves some sort of slurry.

I mean, I would know it if I ate it, but I wouldn't know.

Every time you go to a restaurant,

say, I would like some emulsion with some slurry.

on top of my meat.

Yeah, see what that gets you.

And they'll probably...

If you're in one of Bobby's restaurants, you'll get some great.

You'll get great.

You go somewhere else.

I don't know.

I can't vouch for it.

Well, that's great.

So Beat Bobby Flay is the show.

Beat Bobby Flay is the show, and I got to explain this stuff.

When we're doing the cutaways, you know, the talking head product, I hate that part.

That's not what I'm about.

Right.

I want a big cue card, and I want a big jib shot, and I want to scream my...

head off into that camera as it pulls away over the crap.

Right.

So give us an example of this.

Oh, that would be like, you know, that's it.

Now stay tuned for my epic Thanksgiving Donkey Punch and Bake Fest for fat losers and drunk moms in partnership with Ice Age 28, Death to Cavemen.

Let's kill all the humans so that we can stay alive for many more films of this franchise.

That was perfect.

I mean, yeah, that's what you want out of a Bobby Flay.

That's really what the job's about.

Yeah.

Food is my passion.

But doing these throws.

The throws is sort of the job.

You know,

that's what you get paid for.

You're not getting paid to cook.

I mean, I don't get paid to cook.

You would cook for free, but these throws.

I think most people don't pay attention when you're cooking.

It's the throws that they watch.

They sit up.

Most of the audience is there for Bebobby Flay.

They're there for the throws.

They want to see throws.

Right, yeah.

Do you have any more?

I mean, you know, I can do something like, and it's just like off the top of my head.

Okay.

Yeah.

Something like, that's it.

Now stay tuned for my epic Miami Beach Party Board Bakedown for shrimp dicks and smoking hot Christians.

Brought to you by Return of the Croods.

Let's eat all the dinosaurs because the crudes ran out of salad and it's dino chomping time.

Wow, off the dome.

That is incredible.

I mean, you know, we do a lot of cross-promotional stuff with the kids' stuff.

You know, there's a lot of parents that watch, you know, parents that watch Magnolia Network or the TLC Family Networks.

Yeah, that was great.

I mean, it's exciting to hear that.

And I want to watch this show.

I mean, I would have spread the word.

I love spread the word about food.

I love spreading the word about

Bobby Flay.

I mean, that's been on for years.

Is there anything new, a new show?

I mean, you know, we were talking with Shutter Network.

That's a show that's just throws.

just throws throws throws let me throw throw bobby flay throw yeah throw bobby flay from the train throw bobby flay from the train yes yeah we could do that and it's in the mamaverse train have to do that well the throw mama from the train billy crystal and danny devito the twisted mind of danny devito

Come on, put it in the mamaverse.

Danny's a good friend.

I had all the sunny crew.

You know, we were chopping it up a couple weeks ago.

I had a big, like, make-your-own salads line.

That was fun.

Why is everything make your own?

You got to feed a lot of people i mean the catering the the the quality could go south so fast so you got to bring the people

never mind well do you have any more throws because you're right bob i would i would watch just throws just throws yeah do you have any more can you do uh anything else here or i mean yeah i mean there's uh you know um i was thinking about one that was like kind of like uh

you know one i was you know thinking about i mean if you want to hear it yeah yeah yes yeah yeah i was kind of thinking don't be bashful here yeah i'd love to hear it all right

something like yeah That's it.

Now stay tuned for my epic Ensonata Enchilada Eleganza for rude boys, gassy queens, and adjunct statistics professors featuring a clumsily integrated co-marketing strategy with Luca.

The movie that's not Pixar, but still Disney, about the boy who became a monster and made a friend in the evil world that caused certain issues in the regular world, rated NC17.

I didn't realize I watched Luca.

I didn't realize it was rated that.

That's amazing.

Yeah, I would watch the show, Bob.

Thank you.

I would absolutely.

We wanted to attach as executive producers, but do that and go to commercials.

If you go to commercial, yeah.

Go to commercial.

I mean, you might be interested in this one.

We've been talking about,

you know, something that incorporating that whole thing, you know, the

kids' animation thing, you know, how do we get the kids hooked into like cooking?

So this was a new show I'm thinking about, how to cook a minion.

Oh, I love that.

Yeah, we basically we talk about breaking.

Minions are cute.

Yeah, we talk about sort of, I mean, that, yeah, that, that's a barrier, definitely.

But, you know, how to break one down, you know, break a minion down in 20 minutes.

Right.

Do I come

dead?

No, we get the whole minion.

Oh.

Do you have to kill the minion before you break it down?

Yeah, Malfi Vegas, my restaurant, Malfi,

we get the full minion.

The full minion.

We get about five a week, yeah.

Are the eyes, like, do those taste good?

I mean,

I find the eyes to be a little rubbery.

Sometimes they only have one.

Sometimes they only, yeah, that's the other thing is it's pretty inconsistent actually which minion you're going to get.

That's that's going to affect cook times.

It's going to affect the size of the skillet.

Are they all wearing blue shorts or

you get them completely nude?

Before you break it down?

Yeah.

Wait, before you kill the minion, do you get it nude?

Did you guys take a long time?

Or do you kill it?

Do you kill it and then strip it?

I mean, if we're doing

like a big Sunday night dinner, like Filipino-style whole minion.

Where we have to make our own minion.

No, no, no.

Sort of like, I mean, yeah, I mean, once we get, you know, sort of whole hog, if you do like a whole hog, you're like a Filipino barbecue kind of thing.

We do that with a whole minion.

And yeah, you might have to get in there with,

I don't know, bone saw,

some shears.

Yeah.

Rough stuff.

Yeah, grizzly.

Tastes good.

Tastes really good.

I've never had any.

I think it's delicious.

They're funny.

And it's funny how great they taste, I bet.

Yeah.

Do they make a noise as they go down?

Do they taste like banana?

I mean, they're kind of squeaky, like a

hairy cover

that's not totally cooked.

You know, they kind of squeak against you.

Almonds.

Almonds kind of squeaky.

Almonds are squeaky.

Yeah, you eat a lot of raw almonds.

They kind of squeak against you.

Yeah, they squeak.

I guess I've never noticed that.

So I think a Minion can.

I've had a couple Minion dinners that

are like squeaky.

Yeah, it's fatty.

It's definitely fatty.

They look fat to me.

Like, they don't look muscular.

There's a lot of fat.

There's a lot of fat, but they're not.

They seem almost all fat.

Yeah.

To me.

Like, they have no muscle definition.

What's the marinade?

I mean, obviously, East Coast guy, Southwest Flavors, I'm going to go with something that's a little bit more in like that lime, cilantro, red onion sort of ceviche direction.

Yeah, yeah.

Is that every single dish you put out tastes just like that?

No, I mean, sometimes I'll do a mole.

Do a mole, do a.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes you do a mole.

Sort of like a

romescal.

Romesco.

Yeah, okay.

Roasted red peppers.

It's just Spanish-style sauce.

Well, this is great.

Look, Bobby, we're coming up on another break.

Satay.

But

do you have another throw that you could do?

Or are we going to the well once too often?

I mean, I think people are probably tired of it by doing it.

No, I'm doing it.

I don't think people want to see it.

Throw us to commercial.

Throw us to commercial.

Yeah, show.

All right.

I mean, you know, it'll probably be

some something like.

Oh, you know what?

This would be fun to do.

Okay.

This is great.

So, like, say that you and I were on Be Bobby Flay together.

Okay.

And obviously, I beat you.

Okay.

Your signature dish.

What's your signature dish?

Tacos, maybe?

You know, just tacos.

West Coast Guy, Southwest flavors.

Just tacos.

Scott Ackerman tacos.

Well, I don't, I mean, you know, you make the meat and you put cheese on it.

What meat?

What meat?

I mean, tell me, what are these tacos?

It's like beef or chicken or something.

Ground beef?

Bob, help me out.

What's your signature dish?

Oh,

tuna salad.

Tuna salad.

Yeah.

Tuna salad.

Why is that better than tacos?

Tuna melts.

Tuna melts.

Battle tuna melts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right.

Well,

it would be something like this.

Like, if I just beat you and, you know, the jib's flying away and we got to go back.

Yeah, I'll probably look up at the camera and be like, well, it was, well, two,

tonight was tuna me.

I melted tonight.

You can

sit it tonight melted.

I melted the competition.

And then it would be tied into a movie.

Tied into some sort of new child's

film.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, you know, like.

OC Sesame Street Live.

Yeah, that kind of, yeah, so something, yeah.

I don't know.

Turning red or

turning red.

Why didn't I get a fucking call about turning red?

I don't know.

I mean.

I want to be in the period movie.

Why can't I be in the period movie?

It's not.

It's not.

Well, I mean, it is about a young woman growing up, but that's

like Corsets and Mary.

I mean, it's a metaphor for getting your period.

Yes, you're right.

I thought it was a period movie.

Like

Sarah Knightly and shit.

Like Little Women starring Bob Odenkirk?

Yeah.

Yeah, you were great in that, by the way.

Gets rounds of applause when he enters the scene.

Thank you.

You wanna Barbie?

Exhaust.

No.

You're not doing Barbie?

I wish I was.

I would like to tell the story of the doll and how it came.

Bobby,

you ever see that video of your entrance in Little Women, and they put the audience from Adventure's Endgame clown onto it?

No, I haven't seen that.

It's very funny.

Well, throw it.

So, was that your throat?

I'll throw it for you.

Yeah, here we go.

That's it.

Now stay tuned for more of

my kitchen stadium with Comedy Bang Bang here in beautiful Sunset

Area Boulevard.

And don't forget to check out Turning Red, the beautiful movie about a little girl who becomes a red panda at different times that are related to her vaginal development.

That's it.

All right, that is it.

All right, we need to take a break.

Boy, when we come back, we have a lawyer.

Bobby, can you stick around?

I'd love to have you.

Yeah, you know, I love to stick around.

And I actually got a, I think I brought a...

A hot plate.

Oh,

oh, wow.

You guys were interested in competing against you or in just you?

No, like, I was just thinking like a bananas foster or something like that.

I don't know.

Bananas and minions.

What do you have in the break room?

I was going to see what you had in the break room.

Probably just chips, but yeah, if you have anything.

Minion, yeah.

I couldn't get you a minion.

I could try.

I could make you call.

Well, we're going to be right back.

We will have more Bobby Flay, more Bobby Odenkirk.

This is a Battle of the Bobs right here.

You can use that in one of your throws.

We'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this.

Well, yeah, I love Italian food.

I love mostly Tuscan, you know, the Tuscan game meat.

Ah, Tuscany.

Game meats.

Tuscany game meat.

I do a boar.

Ah, boar.

We did a boar at Bar American for many years, yeah.

Ah, Bar American.

That's Italian.

Hey,

you know, I wanted to tell you about my TV show, Scott.

Oh, you have a TV show, too?

I have a TV show.

Because both of these, I mean, Bob, unfortunately, is not going to have a TV show anymore.

Oh, Bob, you had a TV show?

Well, I did.

It's going away very soon.

Oh.

This is going to be the worst time of your life not having a TV show.

I don't know who I'll be.

I don't know what I'll do.

I tell you.

But to be on my TV show.

Yeah, what's your TV show?

Better call Itly.

It's the case where somebody is trying to find a calling card to call Itly.

Just like a phone card, a prepaid phone card?

Yes.

And they are going a bunch of places, but the code that they scratch off the back never works oh no this sounds like a bad dream actually that you had so is it people walking around target people walking around target people walking around walmart people walking around uh esco in in london

i mean this sounds like a bad dream you had one night not an act it came to me in a dream yeah i was dreaming about attorney in at law and then this popped up and i said what would happen if i was stuck in a place like this for example located right here on sunny sunset uh in the sunset area and i

in this area in the sunset Boulevard area.

And I was wondering, what if I got stuck here and I could not call my mom back in Italy?

Yeah.

How's she doing, by the way?

What was her name?

She's very bad.

Well, then what are you doing here?

I came for you, Scott.

I love you just as much as I love my mother.

All I did was text you.

Do you want to be on the show this time?

And I said, that's a sign of distress.

That is a fake text.

I need to go.

Okay, well, you're here now.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I just wanted to have you on the show to talk to you.

I haven't talked to you in a while.

I guess I can breathe again.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, have you had any interesting cases?

Oh, my gosh.

I've had so many interesting cases, Scott.

As you know, as you have felt, give me your arm.

Okay.

Oh, God.

You're doing it again.

I'm very strong.

I'm now the tallest and strongest man in Italy.

Yes.

Oh, that's right.

You're the tallest man in Italy.

How tall are you?

Six foot five.

There are short people there.

I was just there.

I looked around for anyone above 6'5.

No one.

Didn't see them because I was here looking for you.

Now,

the most recent case I have had, and this one is very in-depth.

Okay.

Okay.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

I'm ready.

Yes, somebody walked into a building and they walked into the building, and the glass from the building didn't open the door.

And they walked through

the glass, yeah, through the glass, yeah, right through it.

It broke completely.

Oh, no, cutting them to shreds, cutting them to shreds, yeah.

So they lie in shreds there, they lie in shreds, and I had to put them back together in the court of law.

What?

Right in the middle of the court.

I had to put them back together.

It was so much glue.

And Italian glue does not stick well.

Really?

Italian glue is really.

It's really bad.

It's just marinara sauce.

It's delicious.

Is that a red sauce?

It doesn't work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've had Italian glue before.

Some people call it gravy, some people call it red sauce, but Italy,

they call it glue.

I learned that last trip.

Interesting.

Yeah.

He is right.

The things you know when you're a celebrity chef.

Yeah.

It opens a lot of doors.

Yeah, I bet.

I would love to come to one of your parties.

Yeah,

I could have you at a party.

I don't know.

Like the kind of people that, I mean, who do you like to, who do you, who do you party with?

All the Italian celebrities.

Yeah, like, who do we got there?

Joni Mitchell.

Yeah.

Okay, Joni.

The Roaches.

The Roaches, yeah.

I mean, I feel like you're describing more like a Laurel, Laurel Canyon, kind of like Jace Taylor,

Heim, you know, that kind of thing.

Yes, the Roaches and Heim.

They are older and younger version of each other, like an M.

Night Shameline movie.

That's right.

Yeah.

Yeah, I party with Heim.

You party with Heim?

Yeah, I party with Heim.

What's about Danny Masterson?

You ever party with him?

Nah, you know, I used to do the

Scientology parties.

I mean, those people love the Hyages, a cover band.

They play get lucky all night.

I'm like,

it's fun to pretend to be on the boat and everything.

I'd rather be on a real boat.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

We have Scientology in Italy.

You do.

It is called Discovery Zone, or DZ for short.

The children go there to play.

I didn't know that.

Is that a real fact?

Everything I say is a real fact.

I know that.

I swear on a stack of Bibles.

Well, look, this is going to lose his license if I lie.

Speaking of which, Bob, you know your stuff when it comes to lawyers.

Well, I didn't see TV lawyer.

This is a real lawyer.

Yeah, but I I mean, I was playing a lawyer, and if you were to watch my show, you'd probably laugh.

I would love to see though that's not how it is.

I would love to see you guys compete against each other for a case or something.

Like, say, Bobby, you have a case, right?

You mean me in character.

Yes, exactly.

Cowbell.

Yeah, well, yeah, Cowbell Sal, he was on this show once before.

I don't know if you remember, but he came on.

Do you remember that?

Yeah, vaguely.

I do.

Of course.

So, I mean, you in character would be.

I don't have all of the shows cataloged,

but every week I do try to listen to every

soda.

You edit the wiki, though.

A lot of people don't know, though.

Bob is in charge of the company.

But yeah, so you say,

I got a case, and maybe

Cowbell Sal and Jesse cooked the wrong thing.

I put myself in character.

So you and Jesse, and you made Bad Man,

and then

I'm there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, you know, it's like, you know, definitely doing something.

I mean, I probably would start off, if I'm I'm looking at it, I probably start off thinking like in a chili relleno direction, right?

Yeah, sure, yeah, of course.

So, you know, say it's the case of the chile relleno, and then you and Jesse and Walter are helping me.

And

Don Draper, everybody's just sort of, you know, they.

What about Big Pussy?

Big Pussy's in.

And, you know, it's chili rellenos.

I mean, it's like the breading, definitely, you know, like maybe.

little soda water or something like that keep it light fresh on the outside so that inside gets really hot sure so what's the case though what are you you're just discussing pussy bites into it.

Oh, okay.

He

burns his mouth, and they want to sue me.

They want to sue me.

How do I defend you?

And I'm keeping quiet because I'm not supposed to talk during this portion of the trial.

I told him, don't say a thing, shut your mouth.

You have been injured eating a very hot chili Roleno.

Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen of the court, I am from Italy.

Bonjour.

I need everybody to know that my client here has a hot mouth and a big pussy.

I represent Mr.

Flay, who's an expert chef, and he can do a throw like no one's business.

And in that's it now, stay.

You could show the court your throw.

If it pleased the court, if you're not sure, I mean, if everybody wants to see it, I mean, if everybody was pleased, I'd like to

show us the throw.

He told me not to talk.

Show us a throw.

Please me.

All right.

That's it.

Now, stay tuned for the rest of this hearing.

Brought to you by Turning Red.

That was so loud.

have an issue.

I have an issue, Judge.

Who is the judge?

Who is the judge?

Here come the judge.

Oh, Judge Ito is here.

Judge Ito is here.

Oh, wait, no, maybe none of us want to do it.

He wants to pronounce it Leto.

Judge Leto.

Judge Leto.

Oh, oh, it's Jared Leto doing role, doing research for a role.

Oh my god, this is incredible.

Hey, I'll allow it.

First of all, Judge Jerry Leto, why are you a yellow face?

Because I just washed off my Joker makeup and this was what was underneath.

Understood.

Judge, bonjour, first of all, I'm from Italy.

My name is Italiano Jones.

I'm the tallest lawyer in Italy and the tallest man and strongest man.

Throw me something.

Throw something off the court.

Here you go.

Ah, see, I caught it.

Now, my...

Just a beanbag.

But most weak people cannot catch things.

All right.

Listen here, Judge.

My client, Big Pussy, has burned his mouth on this man's Chili Rolino, and I think he was trying to kill him.

Is this true?

Nah, I wasn't trying to kill him.

On behalf of Mr.

Flay, I'm his lawyer.

Who are you, sir?

I'm Cowbell Sal.

Cowbell Sal.

I've heard about you.

Yeah.

Have you seen my commercials, The Big Cowbell?

The world's biggest.

Bring a ding-ding.

I'm in your corner.

I have seen those.

It's an honor to preside in front of you.

All right.

I'm the lawyer.

You're the judge.

I know.

All right, if you want to be honored by my presence.

I mean, usually they call me your honor.

Listen.

But I'm the one who's honored now.

When a chef like Mr.

Flay makes his food, he's got other things on his mind.

He's got throws coming up.

He's got other food coming up.

There's multiple courses, chili berleno, the dessert,

different

gravies.

Sing three.

Sync three.

Is there going to be a sing three?

Sync three.

I knew there was a sing two.

His job is to serve the food as hot as can be so that as time goes by, it remains warm so they can be eaten for the next few minutes or even up to an hour or two, right?

Isn't that what you're saying?

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't eat my chili right now after two hours.

It's not really.

Yeah, but at an hour 50, at an hour 59, it's still warm.

And that's the key.

I mean, you know, when you fry,

it does lose a lot pretty quickly.

You should shut up.

I told you before you shouldn't talk to me.

Openish that case.

No, shut.

Sounds to me like it's reopening the case.

Right now, I'm on reopening.

I'm reopening the case.

It's an honor to be.

Judge.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah, they get really hot.

They stay hot for a long time.

Judge Leto.

Judge Leto.

Leto.

If you don't mind, I'd pronounce your name properly.

It's an honor to be in front of you.

Judge Leto.

Mr.

Flay made the food as hot as he could.

When you enter his restaurant, there is a sign.

It says no shoes, no shirt, no service, food served hot.

Really?

Piping hot.

It's written in English.

The restaurant that my this big pussy fellow went to is called Piper's.

Piper's Hot Restaurant.

Is this true, Italiano Jones?

It is one of

those many, many restaurants.

I don't know how many clues he needed to be given that the food would be served hot.

There are signs everywhere.

There is the fume symbol of heat rising from an item.

It's a cartoon symbol of

those ones you see at the airport where there's like fireworks and

that is everywhere.

Mr.

Freeland.

Can those be construed though?

Cowbell Sal as stink lines like

no one can be sued for being construed.

Oh my gosh.

Open is that case.

Why do you keep saying that?

You're supposed to be representing this man.

My client thought the food was farting.

Oh

they were stink lines.

We thought they were stink lines and we thought the name Pipers came from the location.

It was in Pipers Alley in Chicago, and that's what we thought that was going on.

It's just one location among many.

It's just by pure coincidence that it was in Pipers Alley.

Can we sidebar?

With me?

With the lawyers.

All of us.

Bobby, get over here.

No,

sit down and don't talk.

Yeah, I'll sit over here.

No throws.

I wasn't planning on.

No throws.

What do you have to say, Judge?

What do you have to say?

This guy, Bobby Flay.

Yes, he's he's obviously an East Coast guy with South Coast flavors, Southwest flavors.

I'll picture that.

He's present.

He's an East Coast guy.

Southwest flavors.

West Coast attitude.

Attitude.

Sorry.

Sorry, he's obviously an East Coast guy.

Southwest flavors, West Coast attitudes.

Sorry, did you say salad bar?

Salad bar attitude.

Is this a sidebar or a salad bar?

Sorry, this is a sidebar.

Do me a favor, Bobby.

Zip it.

I thought he said salad bar

here.

Did you bring anything?

Some nice cucumbers,

romaine, heights.

Just zip it and keep it quiet.

Open the set case.

Look, what are we doing, guys?

What is your...

This guy obviously doesn't have a case.

Who?

Big Bussy?

Neither of them.

You know what I mean?

Okay, we're not suing anyone.

We were sued, and that's why we're here.

Well, you don't have a case.

He doesn't have a case.

We're not here.

We don't want a case.

What are we doing here?

We don't want a case.

Let's go back to my place and party, is what I'm trying to say.

Would it be okay?

Hold on a second.

If you would you make your own sliders?

That's what I have to ask Mr.

Flay because it's the only kind of party he does.

I do a lot of party.

Did you do the prep work?

Can we watch Suicide Squad at the party?

You'd have to ask Mr.

Flay.

Count me out.

Count me out.

Okay.

Then I

rule in favor of Bobby Flay.

Wow, because I don't want to watch that movie.

I'll watch something else.

I love House of Gucci.

Oh, the Gucci.

You like a House of Gucci?

I love House of Gucci.

It reminds me of home.

Especially you and Lady Gaga.

Okay, well,

I rule in favor of you then.

Okay,

I'm taking back my ruling.

All right.

Ruling in favor of Big Guy.

Bobby, I'm sorry.

We're going to have to take the hit on this one.

You'll have to do a few more throws, and you'll make the money in no time, and who cares?

That's it for the case of the Chile Rieno.

Bobby Flay lost.

Now stay tuned for Suicide Squad, starring Harley Quinn and the boy with the words written on his forehead, rated PG-13.

Amazing.

Wow.

See.

Ataliano, I mean, you won the case.

Thank you so much.

I told you I'm the best lawyer.

Here's the crazy thing.

He won it by being agreeable.

Yeah, by just saying he liked House of Gucci, which no one likes House of Gucci.

Did you actually, were you lying or not?

I love House of Gucci.

It reminds me of home.

It's just like mama used to make.

Wow.

Incredible.

Well, guys, this is, I mean.

My mama made films.

Oh, I thought you meant the food.

Yes.

Or the clothes.

My mama made.

My mama used to make it just like mama used to make.

My mama is Martin Scorsese's mama as well.

What?

That's my brother.

She's in Goodfellas.

Yeah.

Well, guys, look, we're running out of time.

Italiano, it's great to have you here.

Thank you for having me.

But we only have one time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs.

I love my mommy and I love my dad.

And I sure hope that they won't be too mad.

Cause I made a stinky boom boom right in my pants.

And since I'm 30 and not a baby, it's extremely sad.

And I hope there's baby wipes inside of the plug bag.

Oh, well, that was charming.

That was Baby Made a Boom Boom by Ferg Berger.
