Welcome to comedy bang bang. Thank you to Fawcett. Ph. Fawcett. For that cast phrase submission. Welcome to comedy bang bang for another week. We have such an exceptional show. I cannot wait to tell everyone about it. Coming up a little later we have an actress. I don't like to gender that job. So I'm just going to say actor. We also have a C.P.A. S. C.P.A. Ur. I do like to gender that job. A C.P.A. Will be coming up a little later. So this is an exciting episode of comedy bang bang. An actress a C.P.A. You don't get this kind of show on other podcasts. Who is Mark Maran always talking to. Barry. In his garage. You know we talk to the real people. Actors C.P.A. Or. I'm the host of comedy bang bang. We have an exceptional show. Of course I just mentioned that. Want to remind everyone we are coming out. To a town near you. And if you don't live near one of these towns. Just pack up all of your belongings. And. Move somewhere. A whole up in a seedy hotel. And. We're going to be out there. CBBworld.com slash tours where you can get all of these announcements. Tickets went on sale Friday. They are going fast. And we're going to so many dates. We'll be announcing more dates soon. Let's not. Waste any more time. Because I have maybe. The most incredible guest. Here on comedy bang bang that's ever been on the show. He's a good friend to us. Let me look up while he's sitting here. Exactly how many times he's been on the show. And what timer club he's entering. He is entering. The. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering. He's entering the six timer. 16 timer club. And he's rubbing his eyes like he can't stand what I'm about to say. That's what that part is not true. I like anything you have to say. I think based on the electronic males I receive after my appearance is here. That number seems low. I should be here more often. You should be here more often. I think October of 24 was the last time I was here. You were but that said we have only been around for now almost 17 years. It will be our 17th anniversary in a couple of weeks. So 16 times is actually not a. Will this be number 17 or is this 16? This is number 16. Well then we got to squeeze in 17 so that it. I'll see you next week. The math works out to once a year. Of course. I'll be here. I'm happy to do it. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be here. I don't talk to my wife anymore. She's one of them. Danielle's one. Danielle and Oliver might be the lead in the pack. Yes, of being on the most times. Well, we want to get your stats up. I think my stats should be higher. I'd like you to be neck and neck with Paul F. Tompkins. That seems like I'm going to have to. I'm going to have to be on every week for a little while. You know what? I got nothing going on. Sure. Why not? I'm good to go. I'm glad that's the last podcast you ever recorded. I'd like mine to be the last podcast I've ever recorded. No, no. What I would love, and I'll introduce you in a second, is I would love it if you were to kind of close everything out here on Comedy Baby. Remember when Todd Glass went on WTF to make his big announcement instead of doing it on his own podcast? I want your last podcast to be here. Okay, it won't be. I appreciate that you want it to be. You at least are not planning for it to be. Well, you know what? Who knows? This could be it. Yes, that's what I'm saying. You could expire right the minute we're done here. I told you about my drive-in. A lot of lane closures. A lot of giant potholes. You could pull a Eugene Merman, and we want it. Good thoughts to you, Eugene. Come on. I'm friends with Eugene. He doesn't make it okay. That's maybe... I like all humor. Go for it. Maybe too soon. He was paired with us in Boston two years ago. And we had a great night together. Did you say drive safely on the way home? Drive safely, Eugene. From here on in. That's horrible. He's doing okay. Oh, yes. Was he driving the vehicle? He was driving the vehicle much like you were today. I thought New Yorkers weren't supposed to drive. He lives in the Boston area. I don't know where he lives. I know nothing about Eugene Merman. I know he cars his car usually at Harvard Yard. Is that right? People like to say that, don't they? Let me introduce you. We are celebrating his 20th anniversary doing his own podcast. He claps for himself. I thought it would happen when you said 20th anniversary. Nobody else seemed interested in clapping. No one joined it. Nope. But 20 years, he is, of course, the reason that so many comedians are doing podcasts. And this is the month that we are celebrating all month long. His podcast, Never Not Funny, which is available at NeverNotFunny.com Entering the Six-Timer Club, please welcome back to the show Jimmy Pardo. I thought it was 16-Timer. You just... Did I say Six-Timer again? You lost me 10. I would rather it would be Six-Timer. Nice and tight, right? You know what I mean? That seems fine. Just keep it to a nice six. Brother, you're not going to get an argument. What am I going to start counting all your appearances on three hands? Yeah. Get somebody else involved. Hey, anyone have a spare hand? I want to count Pardo's appearance. Absolutely. Welcome back to the show, Jimmy. 16-Timer Club. It is always exciting to be here. It's always exciting to have you. It's more exciting for me than for you. And that is definitely true. I'll go along with that. You're not going to get an argument on this side of the table? Jimmy, 20 years ago. It was 20 years ago today. Today. Jimmy Pardo got a podcast to play. Right? Look at this. Come on, Weird Al. What have you been doing with your life, Weird Al? Not helping me. Not making very specific parody songs about podcasts. I think if I went to El today, and I think you know as well as I do, he's the nicest guy in the world, maybe by four o'clock he's got something. Yeah, I think so. I think you would. You can whip it up. You can get the old thesaurus and rhyming dictionary out. Yeah. You know he uses both of those. When he was on my program, the F4 mentioned award-winning podcast, Never Not Funny. What are the words if you want? I wanted words back in the day. Yeah, which ones? I think I'm a big fan of the trophy. You say it won-winning and people love it. Yeah, I think we're nominated for a webby this year, maybe, but I feel like I won one before or something. I have no idea. I think there's a lot of those out there that okay. Sure. I'll take it. Early on I was like, we got to be involved in all these things. And then they go, and the best comedy is John and the Squirrel. I've never heard of John and the Squirrel. Nobody's heard of them. Yeah, well, the Squirrel mainly. John's got to get it. Well, he's the straight man. Yeah, but the straight man can usually do a nice job. I both play the straight man. That's right. We have made a living at it, and you have made a great one because 20 years ago this month, you started doing a comedy podcast when no one even knew what a podcast was. Yeah. No one had any idea what this was. Matt Bellnap did. Matt Bellnap, he had his own podcast a little bit before and he interviewed you and lightning struck. He did, and then he said, hey, I would rather produce a podcast that you host instead of host my own. What do you think? And then somehow he's now co-hosting your show. It's infuriated. He's a liar is what we're trying to say. He did it along. We're 20 years in. It took about 15 years for him to make it really work where it's like they are definitely afraid I'm going to leave at some point, by the way. Are they really? Yeah. They could start their own thing. I mean, like what? Not the financial success they're experiencing now. Look, what if Ringo Starr had left the Beatles and the other three decided to keep going? That's what I liken it to. I don't think that's accurate. I mean, I hear what you're saying. Wait, who's leaving? Ringo left. You're saying I'm Ringo. Yeah. I thought they were. I got caught up in the middle. You think you're all three of the Beatles other than Ringo? I think they're all Ringo. If they were George, maybe John. I'd like to think I'm Paul. So, you're still going? I see your Beatles ranking now. You know what? I like the Beatles. I don't love the Beatles. I would go Paul. You're a Chicago guy. You love Chicago. If you'd grown up in Liverpool, you would love the Beatles. But you grew up in Chicago. I don't think anything you'd do with the city. It just happened. If my dad liked the band, and then my best friend in high school, Gary loved them. And then he brought me to him. He said, hey, let's go see Chicago at Chicago Fest. But great booking, you have to agree. It's a great booking. They were very proud of themselves that year. So did Chicago Fest happen any other year? It happened for about five years then for some reason, a new mayor came in and said, this is a bad idea, even though the city loved it. Right. But Gary insisted that we get there, it was a three o'clock show. He insisted we get there at eight o'clock in the morning. And we said, three o'clock show? Oh, I see it was a festival. Yeah, it was a festival. So Chicago did a three and an eight. Oh. And we went to the three, but again, Gary wanted to get there early. So we got there at eight a.m. And we sat in the front row for, I don't know, seven hours waiting for the show. And he wore their chairs? Benches. Benches. Benches is better though than standing the entire time. Or, well, I would go crisscross applesauce. That's right. Not in those days, we'd call something different back then. Sure, yes, of course. I remember those days. That was the 80s where we could say things. Better times, right? You get your Fiero. By the way, Jimmy is kidding about this. He's not, if you don't know, Jimmy's a patented sense of humor. He is very humorous. That is one thing that I've always said about you. Don't condescender your lister. They get it. They understand what happens on this program. I, L- You say worse things. I, L-O-F- No, I, oh, sir. Million dollar challenge. You just did the thing about Eugene Mervin. You pull up any tape of me saying anything worse. I'll pull it up right here. Million dollars. Rewind five minutes. The Eugene Mervin thing is awful. We love Eugene and we're sending him good thoughts. And that's why I brought it up. That's how you presented it. That's why I brought it up. Yeah, good save. Good spin. Speaking of spins, I don't know how that goes. I'm afraid I'm gonna. All right, Jamie, see. You started it. Jimmy, I've L-O-L-ed at you for so many years. Stop it. We were, I sometimes, L-M-A-O. Oh, the whole ass, huh? Thank you, yes. You're the entire asshole. You lost it. And, but we've been friends for many a year. We have. I wanna say, if I need to, if I can, I'm gonna go with the 2001 is when we really became friends. A Jimmy Pardo Odyssey. And I embarked upon that Odyssey and I never wanted to get out of it. You know what? That's kinda true. Yeah. We tried to pitch shows around town. We sold one once. We did. We've been friends now a quarter of a century. You were there when I mentioned that I was going on my first date with my wife. And I said what? You said, that's not gonna work out. That's what I said. I said, it's not gonna work out. How long have you been together? 26 years. So. Longer than I've been friends with you. Yeah. That's not true. Oh, no, no, yeah. No, so we've been friends then for now. It must be almost 30 years. Well, again, 2001. No, 99 is when. You did it. You grew up in 99. All right, so then it had to be 98, 99 then. Yeah. Incredible. What a friendship. Oh, it's been great. It spanned millennia. The 90s. The aughts. Yeah. The 20th century, the 21st century. Yeah. Is that right? I don't know. No, 21. Yeah, 20th century, 21st century. Yeah. You know what? I get confused about the centuries because of that 20th century Fox business. Buddy, you're reading my mind. You know what I mean? You sit down and you want to watch Star Wars, right? All you want to see is Darth Vader have a great time and then, and then, and then, and then, and then you're like 20th century, and you're like, what year are we talking about? This is 1977. Yeah, it's confusing. Why isn't it the 19th century? I understand why it's not, but wouldn't it just be easier if we all went that direction? I know, like we're about to, and I'm not bragging here, because you've been around 20 years and we're about to have our 17th anniversary and yet we'll have been doing it 18 years after that. Yeah, right? Yeah, it's a, who needs this kind of confusion in your head? Numbers. Oh, but speaking of numbers, 20. 20 is the amount of years that you have been doing, never not funny. People consider it to be the, not only the premier comedy podcast, but the template that all other podcasts have spun out of. I don't know about all others. You were smart enough to go with a creative direction, but there are a lot of folks that basically just do a poor imitation of what I'm doing, which basically is a poor imitation of Steve Dahl and Gary Meyer. We all imitate, we all have influences, and that's what's great. I know the great band Radiohead, I don't know if you know these guys. You know what, I don't, if you could play a song right now, I would not know. I know the name. I don't think I know any songs. You're a Chicago guy. You weren't born in England like those guys. You were born in Chicago. You like Chicago bands. What if I only liked Chicago bands? Buckingham, Zario Speedwagon, maybe Cheap Trick, Rockford's Closer. If they get out of the city limits, you don't like it either. I'm out. Sticks I enjoy. Are they from Chicago? Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Really? Oh, Glawne, Illinois. They don't wear those influences on their sleeve the way that Chicago does. I don't think they do either. But I... What if they had called themselves Chicago's Sticks? Oh, no, I think that's a mistake. I think the name Chicago's a mistake. You do, really? Yeah, it's okay. Do a Google search. The band ain't coming up first. I mean, people, that's part of the thing that... I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time. Kill Hitler. Maybe another person. Maybe another... Maybe not say that Eugene Merman joke. The big three. But I wish that I could go back in time and tell bands like X or Chicago like, no, you gotta change your name. Because Google isn't invented yet. Not to mention Bing. Okay, don't. And then tell Bing, like, hey, Bing, thyself, you're gonna get confused with Crosby. Enjoy your white Christmas. Enjoy your white Christmas. Wait, we did a Bing Crosby thing once, you and I. We did. You and I had to have a duet of the Bing Crosby David Bowie song. Little Drummer Boy. Little Drummer Boy that we'd put out on a CD single. We did, and people see me enjoy it. And I have several of them right over there, actually. Do you really? I do, I still have plenty. I made it to take one of those from you. Oh yeah, please do. Yeah, I have a small stash of like, oh, if I ever need to give things away for an auction or something like that, things like that. Here's the funny thing about that. We went to a photo shoot. And I, because it's a Christmas song. We went to Sears, didn't we, for a photo shoot? We did not. We went to the woman. Oh, sorry, we went to Robin. Yes. Yes, okay. I'm getting that confused with the year before we all went to Sears. We did do that. And did a Sears photo shoot, which was very fun. So I showed up to that, to the Little Drummer Boy photo shoot, and I forgot my long sleeve shirt, because it was a Christmas thing. Right, right. And this is the fall at Lake East. Yeah. And so I'm in a white golf shirt. And I think Robin might have had a green sweater, like a sweater vest I could put on. So I put that on, but I still have the short-sleeved shirt. And I remember going, oh, this is stupid. I feel like an idiot. And then everybody were like, how hysterical, part of wearing a short-sleeved shirt in a Christmas show. Like, they thought it was part of your patented humor. Look what I'm doing. That I mentioned earlier that I LOL at. You're an asshole. You're an a-hole. And it turns out it was just a mistake. And how much of your success is a mistake, and how much of it was pre-planned? 98% mistake, 2% pre-planned. Isn't it incredible that this thing that you started, just kind of for fun, turned out to not only be a wellspring of creativity for yourself, but also the medium which you pioneered has become now what comedians all do. It's just an incredible story. Well, it's not just comedians. For some reason movie stars also do that. Movie stars take time out of their day of their trailer to do their podcast. You've got our job already. So movie stars started encroaching upon game show hosting. Well, they took that away from me as well. They took all of that away from all us regular people who would do those jobs happily. And then they were like, that's not enough for us. What else is part of it? It's almost like they were coming after me. Yeah, they crushed me in both the genres. But you know what? You're not crushed because you've been doing this 20 years and we're all here to celebrate it. And we have a great audience. Our audience is loyal and just the greatest. I know you think yours are, and I'm sure yours are great. Do we have a lot of crossover? They're both better than the blank check audience. We have to agree. I don't know what the blank check audience is, but I'll agree with you. Because I think they're better. They're the most annoying audience in podcasts. I don't know them. Who are they? Are they friends of yours? They're not friends of mine. How dare you? I don't know who they are. I don't know if you're doing it inside you. Don't you tarry me with that brush. Was that how one tarred? I don't know. I think he's a roller. I think he's a roller. Don't tar me with that roller. All right. But we have wonderful audiences, but describe now your show for anyone who hasn't been around for the last 20 years and wasn't there since the beginning, like myself. What exactly is Never Not Funny? How does one listen to it? How many episodes do you do a week? What is happening? We do two a week. One comes out for free. One's behind a paywall. We also have bonus episodes behind the paywall. You get video for every episode. If you go behind the paywall, if you become a platinum member, that starts at, I think, six bucks is pretty reasonable. That is so, like, insultingly cheap. Yeah. The fact that people aren't just shelling, you know, like giving you thousands of dollars. Some people do, and I thank those people. Thank God for them. Boy, do I thank them, because it makes up for the cheap skates that don't pay at all. Would it surprise you to know that I'm about five of those anonymously? It would not surprise me. It would not. In fact, I'm happy that you finally came clean on it. That makes me feel uncomfortable. Well, it's not true. Oh, damn it. I don't want to have a stolen valor situation here. I've been bamboozled. Yeah. Go to nevernotfunny.com. Again, we've got, I don't know, it's close to 2,000 episodes, and that seems low, but I mean... It probably is. We have almost, we're inching up towards 1,000, so if you do two a week. I think we're at 1870, something. I don't know. It was great year, by the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. They... Civil War. Probably happening. Listen to my show. It feels like that. It's a battle between me and the guests. Civil War, though, the Guns N' Roses song, not the actual event. Yeah, long and grating. That's my show. Not the actual event, which was short and sweet. Yeah. So just get nevernotfunny.com. It's this. If you want to try it out, there is a free version you can get at one of our podcasts. Oh, yeah. Once a week, it's free. Yeah. And I've got a great guy. I've got Elliot Hockberg, who's our video producer and his own character, our quote, unquote, intern of 14 years, Gary and Cockrell, who is just kind of a film nerd. And then, as you mentioned, Matt Balnep has been my co-host for the past 20 years. And it's, you know, Jimmy, you started your show and I've said it many times in interviews and on this program, never to your face. But the reason that I had the confidence to do Comedy Bang Bang is I appeared on your show and I was like, this is a great medium. I feel comfortable in this medium. And Jimmy is doing it really well. I bet I could do a show as well. And so I thank you for that. My pleasure. You have inspired so many comedians out there. I know. Thank you for that. And I appreciate that you and Mark Marin and in the old days, Chris Hardwick would be the three that would always, when people would go, now you were one of the first, you know, no, no, no, Jimmy Partow, you guys always give me that credit. And I appreciate that, whether the journalist pushed it into the article or not, if it fits their narrative or not, sometimes it do not. Sometimes it doesn't, but we always try to credit you. Yes, there were. There's others that don't. Sure. There were podcasts before you that VJ Allen, whatever is named created them. Adam Currie. Adam Currie, that's right. But there was Keith and the girl before me, the thrilling adventure hour, I think, maybe even predates us by like three, it might be two weeks. It's pretty close. Right, right. But they're sort of inactive sometimes. They are. You've been doing it the entire time. Also, and this is no disrespect to them, I already had a following from Stand Up. So people knew who I was. And so ours blew up right away. And so. And you are still a Stand Up. I do. You're out there doing dates. We'll save those for plugs. Okay. But you are still out there, people are available to, or you are available to the people that they can see you in person. They can see me in person that I do, you know, merch sale and meet and greet after the show. And then occasionally. Yeah. Your son, who is now 18. He's 18 and a half, yeah. 18 and a half. This kid has grown up before my very eyes. He was doing, writing trivia questions for your show. He did as a sixth grader. As a sixth grader, he was doing this. Now he's 18 and a half years old. He's opening for your shows sometimes. Every now and then he will open. He was just on spring break. So he did a show with me at the Zanies in Chicago. And then two shows at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington. And I've said this before, I'll say it again. I say this is a comic, not as a dad. He's really good. And he's gonna, if he decides to pursue this, he's gonna be great at it. If he decides to, he's going to school for screenwriting and perfect timing of the businesses. Oh yeah. He's never been in better shape. So he's going by the name currently as AI Pardo. And I think that's gonna be helpful to him. Great. Yeah. So, and if it not, everybody needs stand up. Everybody needs a jester. Well, he's, I mean, it's just really gratifying, I'm sure to you. Oh my God, it's the greatest. To see him not necessarily following in your exact footsteps, like pretend you're at a beach and you see all these fosters there. You know, like if you're trying to like land on every single one, he's like landing on one or two that you've done, but mainly because he walks like Charlie Chaplin. He can't, that's 100% true. He can't, his feet are bananas. He also has the mustache, right? He wears the mustache. And he's like, wait a minute, why are you a big Hitler fan? It's not Hitler, it's Chaplin. I walk like Chaplin. And so I grew this. Look at that, and Cade. Hitler didn't wear this. Could he, he could get a job at Universal Studios. I'd like to see him do that. Do it at Chaplin. I'd like to see him make a living, yeah. I think that's a good living. You take photographs with drunks, right? Children, children love Charlie Chaplin. Why are people drunk at Universal Studios at one p.m.? They gotta tolerate it. They gotta tolerate it. Have you seen the video of that Fast and Furious roller coaster? I'd like you to tell me more about it now. Hey, Wish granted. No, I've not seen the video. Oh, look, I'm obsessed on Instagram. Now the algorithm just feeds me videos of the Fast and Furious roller coaster. It hasn't opened yet. And does it look great? I mean, cause you're a roller coaster guy? No, I'm not. And I never want to go on another one, but I'm fascinated. I look at it and go like, maybe I would go on that. It looks so cool. It makes you, I know it goes fast, and then it makes you furious. Yeah. Cause it hurts your back at our age. That's why I can't go on roller coasters anymore. Like, first of all, I used to love them. Now when I get to that, you know, as you tick, tick, tick, tick up. All of a sudden I'm like, what am I doing here? Why am I doing this? And then we, I have fun. Then I get off and my spine feels like it was rattled and may not be in the same shape. What do you think about Six Flags closing all their parks? Not all of them, but a lot of them. Is that true? Yeah, they're much like the screenwriting business. There's a constriction going on. Why? Because they're not making money, Jimmy. And that's what America is all about, the almighty dollar. Do you blame? We know we blame. Yes. Yeah, we blame him. He's the reason for all this. But still vote for him, you hillbillies. Now, of course, on Comedy Bang Bang, we don't take a stand like you do on that show. Well, that was me speaking, not you. No, of course. You'll never know whether I agree or if I disagree with you. That said, you did make it. Yeah, you were wishy-washy on Hitler. You were unclear. You said you'd kill him. But then you love that. I kill him just because of the bad PR he's gotten. You think it'd give you good PR? Yeah, I think, no. I think I'd get a bounce. I think my star meter would go. That's what I'm asking? Yeah, I think it would. Hey, who's the guy? The problem with killing Hitler is then no one knows who he is and what he was gonna do. And so they're like, oh, you killed someone, you fucking weirdo. Yeah, you're a jerk. You know what I mean? You knew me. Like, I had directly to jail. But do not, what about, go, do I pass it? No, you do not pass that. Directly. Yeah, directly. Can I take a look at Boardwalk as I go past? Well, let me map out the direction. No, I don't believe so. You know what went the great, and I mean this, and I don't want to bum people out. When we had the great Rob Reiner, I'm never not funny. He has no idea. He never had the idea that, because the game Monopoly came up and he goes, hey, you know what, at one point I used to know all the Monopoly squares. Let's see if I could do it. And then he started at go and went all the way. Went all the, every square? Every square. And then he goes, the greatest part of it goes, and then here come the yellows. And then he did that. And the whole time he's doing it, and he's like, I don't waste your time. He's like, wait, no, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, if you leave now, it's a win. Yeah. And I'm the greatest guest. And I, it is a, our world is, is not, Not the same without. It is not. How many, how many squares are we talking? 52 or 48? I don't know. Wait. I'm going to look this up. How many Monopoly squares? I'm going to go with 48. I'm going to 48. 40. So it's less good. So you know what, nice try, Rob. Yeah. You know what? It wasn't as great as I thought. Yeah, I will. You know, kind of like, why didn't they bring that up in the Oscars? Show that clip. Why did I walk out with everybody else? Your next job. All those people that just mean, who's the guy at the end? I don't know, Rob Ryder did a Monopoly thing on his show. I was, you know what, I'm the Corey Feldman. I got, I got iced on this thing. You got iced, yeah. But Corey doesn't harbor any ills. No, he seemed to be at roll with the punches easily. Well, never not funny. The 20th anniversary just had an amazing live. Wait, I'll show you were there. I was there and it was, you raised a lot of money for, It was not a telethon. It was not a telethon, but you were auctioning items off for charity. That's correct. And this was for, You know what, I never get the name right. The American, Do you want to write it down here? I have a whiteboard here. Is that what you, Well, that's not going to be the helpful part. I thought maybe if you wrote it down on the whiteboard, you would be able to figure it out. No, it's really about my old man memory. You can just say generally what it's for. Old man memory. By the way, never not funny. You have the last 20 minutes are always singing, right? Of just, I would like the entire show to be singing. Sure. If you get away with it. Would you love to do just a full episode of this where you do nothing, just a musical? That's all. And no talking at all. Not even introducing the concept. Just comes right into it. Yep. Welcome to Never Not Funny. Oh, you're going to sing new songs that, yes. I may not go with that voice. I wasn't happy with it just happened. I may take some classes. You're beautiful and sonorous. What? What? You're now like swiping things on your phone. I'm not convinced you're on hinge right now. Shut it. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I always say shut it because it's a serious issue. Yes. American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in our former video producer and my former brother-in-law's name, Andrew Koenig, who is our original, he's the reason we started video. We did video before anybody else. He brought it to you and said, hey, I think that we could do video with this show. And I was like, I don't think so. I don't think that's what podcasting is. Oh, no, you thought it was just OK. Yeah, no, everybody wants to look at this. This is, you know. The moneymaker. Is it too, is that a phrase we can still use? Moneymaker? It seems overused. Well, when you use it about your ass, it implies that people are having anal sex with you for money. Well, if it's accurate, that's your moneymaker. And these are the types of jokes that Jimmy makes on Never Not Funny. No, they're not. Here's the thing. I'm going to say two things about that anyway. Andrew Canig brought us the idea of video. We were in early on video as well. I think it was just a one-camera shoot at the time. It was just something capturing what we were doing. But now we have, I think, I might be wrong, 97 cameras. There's a lot of cameras. There's a lot of cameras. But I'm grateful for that. And he was a great guy. And so we were raising money in his name. And he passed on in 2009, I believe. 2010. 2010, right. February of 2010. And so we, and you have a tribute to him on every episode that you do. We do. This is a great cause that you raised some good money for. And people can also donate to. And they can also buy the download and portion of the proceeds of the download of the entire. What are we talking, 1%? Listen, Andrew was a great guy. But I've also got bills. It's a nice portion of it. Yeah. Yeah, there's expenses to run a video. Sure, the cameras aren't free. 97 of them. Thank you. Pass a little money. Thanks for understanding. But no, it was a great event on Saturday. You were great. Paul of Tompkins was there. A lot of the comedy bang bang favorites were there. And people can buy it where now at nevernotfunny.com. That's fine. And then every. That's fine. I think I was going to say fantastic and it came out fine. It came out fine and it was just. That's fine. That's fine. Yeah, OK. I'll accept. I mean, it's a compliment. It's a fine website for them to. I mean, if that's where you want to sell it. I've ever said anything is fine in my life. That was awful. That was just awful. Well, that's fine. We got another thing to change to that time machine. We got the Hitler. We got the other guy. We got the Merman. Now we got this. The big four. Well, Jimmy Pardo is here. Thank you, Reverend. Never Not Funny, the 20th anniversary. We're going to be celebrating it all year long. And we need to take a break, Jimmy. Is it OK if we take a break and then. Thanks for having me. I don't know if you've heard, but we have an actor and we also have a CPA here on the show. I heard it was an actress and a CPA. That's right. So we're going to take a break. We're going to be right back with more Jimmy Pardo. And the more comedy bang bang will be right back after this. Comedy bang bang. We are back with Jimmy Pardo. Never Not Funny, 20th anniversary. How many more you got in you? Another 20, another 40. Let's call it another 12. Another 12. I think it's a lot more. That's a nice, you know, that way. I'll be retired by that point. 32. 32 years. How long was Karsanang? 30. Gosh. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Gosh. I want to be Karsan. I'm coming after you, Karsan. I honestly. And what about Leno? You be Pardo doesn't beat me. How many years? Oh, I was on a long time. Jimmy doesn't have nearly as many Karsans as I do. By the way, that's a great impression. You'll hear all those types of impressions on Never Not Funny. That's one of three that I do. Karsan did the Tonight Show for nearly 30 years. Well, you know what? How about you beat him? I'm going to beat him. I'm going to beat him. You think I do? I don't think that. I don't think so. Not the way you're looking today. Yeah, I know. I think it's not going to be your choice. No. You look great. No, you look great, Jimmy. You don't really look great. Who's that? Your two guests. That's right. Why don't we get to the first? They look fantastic. I'm not telling you how to do your show. I just wanted to compliment their appearance. Let's talk to our first guest here. She's an actress. What? No. She's an actress. You're telling me about it right here in Hollywood. Yes, right. Well, who knows? It could be anywhere. I'm going to get that out when we talk to her. Please welcome to the show Pearl Courgette. Oh, Scott, it's actually Pearl Courgette. Courgette. What did I say? Courgette? I think that's what you said. And Courgette is how it's pronounced. Courgette? Oh, that's right. Okay. Is this a French pronunciation? Is it like? No, I'm from here. Oh, you are? Yes, and I'm dreadfully excited to be here. It's wonderful. I mean, I'm terribly honored that you had me on today. Of course. Yeah, this is Jimmy Pardo. Hi, Pearl. Thank you. Oh, Pearl, I love the heavy on. Oh, it would be a dream to me. Do you sing? My show ends with 20 minutes of singing. I do sing sometimes. Do you really? What do you sing? That's right. Well, I sing at a lounge. Have you ever sung Jeremy Piven? Jeremy Piven. What? Jeremy Piven. What would you say to that? Do you know what? I actually have sung Jeremy Piven. Oh, my God. You have sung Jeremy Piven. That's right. Wow. At the Delta Lounge. Oh, in the Delta Lounge. Or the Centurion Lounge. Oh, are these? These are airport lounges? I believe they are. That's right. I sing at lounges. You sing at lounges. Oh, so you're a lounge singer. Well, sometimes it's sort of a side gig, side hustle, of course. Of course, I'm terribly excited to be an actress, but we do need to have other jobs in this industry. Of course, yeah. Well, you got to maintain your money, you know, and that way you'll be able to focus on your craft. Pearl, have you done the Admirals Club? I've not. I'm a member of the Admirals Club. Really? What rank are you? You have to be an admiral to go in. You had to do a little time. I was in the Kiss Army, so I'm allowed in. That's American Airlines, and they've got admiral clubs all over the world. Love it, early. I'd love to see you. Well, I would love to do that as well. I'd love to be in every lounge. But of course, more than anything, I'd love to be an actor. So you say you're an actor. What have you done? Well, I'm just getting started. I'm 22 years old. Oh, OK. Happy birthday. Thank you. I'm not a fan of the Olsen twins, although the Olsen twins started when they were babies, I think. So you're actually kind of late to it. I feel really late to it. Everyone in my acting class that I take on Melrose is at least, I mean, they're all 19 years old, so I feel absolutely ancient, Scott. But I'm... Why are they all 19 years old? How did you get hooked up with a class where everyone is 19? It's true. Go to an acting class on Melrose. Everybody is 19 years old. That's not a lie. That's real. All right. So you're 22. What have you... What are your credits, if you don't mind me asking? No credits yet, Scott. You've never acted on stage in front of a camera, anything? That's why I was so dreadfully and terribly excited to be here on this wonderful podcast. I don't know how you got booked on this show, if I don't. I agree with you. I mean, I... Not even a stage credit? You've done no theater? I mean, Jimmy's done some stuff. I've done theater. Well... Community theater even, I've done. You did the Comedy Bang Bang TV show once every season, didn't you? I did, yes. I think I did not make the final cut of the final season, but that... It may have happened on season five, but... That hurt me. Trim things for time. My feelings were hurt. But I gave you that footage. Negative. Yes, I did. And you showed it to Oliver, you said. And he loved it. He loved it. I don't think I liked my performance, but I understood why it was cut. But I mean, even someone like Jimmy who spends the majority of his time, 98% of his time podcasting has been in TV shows. Why haven't you done it? Well, not to worry, Scott. I do have a grind set, mindset, and I'm trying terribly hard. Of course, I'm told I have to make vertical front-facing videos, and then perhaps I could be on a YouTube comedy show, and then maybe eventually I could host an awards show, and then maybe I could get... That's a loop, by the way, from vertical videos to a YouTube comedy show to hosting an award show. Which one do you want to host? Maybe the Oscars or... Spirit. Oh, the Spirit Awards. Perhaps. Okay. And then, of course, maybe I could get cast there somehow, but... So when you want to host an awards show... All before acting. Acting's going to be a benefit of these other items. Look, I mean, they just started giving Oscars to casting directors. Which is like, I kind of want to host the Oscars now, honestly, getting in front of those casting directors. I mean, I'm open to any advice, of course. If you don't think this is the right path, I'm taking classes and working, of course, on my accent. Told I have a dialect. Yeah, what exactly? I haven't placed it exactly. It seems mid-Atlantic sort of. But when you say you're working on it, you're working on it to sound like the way you do, or you're working on it to not sound the way you do. No, I'm from Calabasas. And so when I take classes, I'm just working on trying to fit into some of the most popular shows that are on today, see if I could speak like people in those shows. Okay, so what are these types of shows? These are... I mean, shows we all know and love. Tulsa King, Landman, what else is there? Oh, Bridgerton, of course. And then... Of course, the day I became a father, I turned on Yellowstone. I was like, this is my show now. So you understand, Scott. Yes. You love Tulsa King. I have watched Tulsa... Look, we've had Martin Star, star of Tulsa King. Andrea Savage as well has been on our show. Yes, many times. Very much. And we love to see them. I loved how Andrea Savage had sex with Sylvester Stallone in the pilot and didn't throw up. No, she did throw up in it. When she found out his age, she threw up. The character. The character. Not Andrea. Not Andrea, but I thought that was a fun little twist. Well, my acting class, it's very TV focused and so, of course, they're terribly concerned about you sounding right for whatever show that you're going to be on. And this is what they're telling you to sound like? Oh, no, no, I've done a lot of work and actually I have other accents. Oh, I love... Jimmy, what... Nothing would please me more to hear the accents for these various television shows. Now, do you want to take requests or are you just going to roll through them? Well, we could do something, maybe a contemporary show like He Did Rivalry, perhaps. Sure. Scott has not seen, but I know the basic gist is it's all about sex. Right. And hockey, I think. I think hockey is about it, bro. Oh, I didn't know hockey was involved. I think that's the B line, yeah. Oh, okay. There's hockey, there's sex, two young men and a forbidden romance. Not because they're gay, but because... Why is it forbidden then? Or are you just... Because they're on opposing teams. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Should have clarified. They're... It's ironic they're on the same team in one respect and opposing teams in another. I think that's what makes the tension. I think, yeah. That's what makes the rivalry. Oh, boy. So... So, shot shot. All right, so this is... So you can begin the scene. Oh, okay. Well, I'm just going to have to guess as I have not seen it, but hey, you want to have sex? Peel me a grape. Why don't you come see me sometime? That's some of my dialect work. This dialogue isn't ringing any bells. You're going to say you're going to do that for this hockey program? And with the first line, peel me a grape? Is that... I don't watch the show either. Is it all about formality? But I know it's... I recognize come up and see me sometime. Yeah. Peel me a grape is new. Is that... Is it from this hockey program? I don't understand. I have been told that that's... I mean, that I'm doing excellent work in my dialect class and I'm sounding... It's a modern... It sounded specific. I don't know whether it sounded modern necessarily. I mean, your Calabasas accent sounds very much like, you know, you're an actor... Like what? You really want to add a... On the WH, you really want to add a... By the way, but it doesn't sound the most modern out of any accent I've ever heard, Everyone talks different. So I... That's right. Everybody talks different and every show is different. And if only I could just set foot in Shonda land or the Harmon verse or... The Harmon verse still around. Or the Sheridan sphere. Oh, Taylor. Yes. Yes. Maybe even the Bill Lawrence puddle. Yes, of course. They're all watching Steve Carell do his thing... Rooster! Rooster! I like it. Yeah, he's wandering around. They're spending millions and millions of dollars to watch him wander around to college. I like Steve Carell. I love Steve Carell. I do wonder, when he signs on to a show, does he say, I'll do this as long as I can die within the... Oh! Like one calendar year. My character. I'm not caught up. Oh, no, I'm just his other shows. Oh, it would be marvelous, marvelous to meet Steve Carell. Oh, you would like that. I would love it. I would love to be on Rooster or Shrinking or even Scrubs. Yeah, Scrubs is back. I mean, what would you do on Scrubs? Would you be some sort of a... Like let's do a scene from Scrubs. Yes, yes, absolutely. Who's Jimmy gonna be? Oh, I'd like to do it. Okay, well you can be Zach Breth. All right. Hi, I'm... Keep him away from AI, by the way. Yeah. Not my podcast that said that. I don't know who... Oh, you got it. No, let's explore that. Nope, nope, nope. I will say no more, but a former... A few former comedy bang bang guests may have spilt the beans on that. Is that right? That's right. But anyway, okay, you're Zach Breth. All right. Who do I get to be? Please don't say the other guy. You're going to be the young Zach Breth. The one he cast to be sort of like him. Oh, I haven't watched it, but okay, this sounds good. Okay. I haven't watched it either. Who did he cast to be the young him? Just a guy. Just a guy, okay. Kind of a charming guy. Charming guy. All right, I'll be the young Zach Breth, Jimmy Ubi Zach Breth, and who are you gonna be now? I'll be a nurse. Okay, great. All right, we'll be talking to each other when the scene starts. I think we should get four C.C.'s of Amoxicillin to this gentleman right away. How many C.C.'s? Three, two, one. Say you two, why don't you come see me sometime? Okay. Pumea grape. I don't know if that's accurate. Oh, but fit. I'm seeing. I don't know if that is for scrubs. Is it sanitary to have grapes in the operating room? I don't think in the operating room. Maybe in a patient's room in the hospital, but I don't think in the ER. No, you should not have grapes. Yeah. I'm watching the pit. I've not seen any grapes. Yeah. You hear my rap about the pit, by the way? You mean like a rap rap? Yeah, yeah. I made a rap about the pit. You can look it up on YouTube. Oh, really? Yep. I kind of thought... You can try yourself. Oh, and here it is. That's what I thought was about to happen. Oh, no, no, no. All right. I got to look it up? Yeah, sure. Look it up on YouTube. On YouTube. Yep. Sure. Where is it? It's not on the way it raps about the pit. Okay. So it sounds like YouTube don't think I should be on scrubs, so perhaps something maybe more of a period piece. Oh, yeah. How about a period piece? Now that you have a certain vibe that would fit in well there. So what type of period piece are we talking about? I guess. Well, there is, of course, Bridgerton, dreadfully wonderful show. Bridgerton, part of Shondaland. Shondaland. I've not seen any, not even a scene of it, but from what I can tell, it's young people having sex. Right. Okay, well, we can do one of those scenes. Okay. Who am I going to be? And please be careful. You're a young gentleman, and we're having a forbidden romance. Okay. And who's Jimmy going to be, like my manservant? Oh, I'm happy to be that. Yes, Jimmy is there as well. He's the manservant. Here we go. Hey, manservant, wash my chamber pot. We'll do, sir. Where's your accent from? Well, I'm from the area. The area? Of course, I thought I recognized you. And I'm going to get number to scrub that chamber pot. Yes. Scrub it twice. A lot of elbow grease. Please. A lot of what now? Elbow grease. Elbow grease. Yes, somebody get in there. Lord Bridgerton, hi. Hello, who are you? I am, of course, your lover. Oh, did it recognize you, sir? She's here on a daily basis. So random to see you here? Yeah, it is, as you say, random to see you, yes. Randomly? My voice. Yeah, you got it. You change it a little bit. You've got to mix it up a little bit. I'm going up to your level now. Well, careful. And scene, I think that was wonderful. Wow, you're calling that was the scene? First of all, great scene. It wasn't a bad scene. Now, let's critique the little tiny minutiae here. I do wonder, like, that particular voice, you thought that sounded period, because that sounded the most modern of any of the voices that you've done. That sounded like a current voice. It did, yes. Gosh, well, I have to talk to my teacher about this. Yeah, maybe you could freaky Friday your accents. Oh, yes. You know what I mean? No, I don't understand, Scott. No. You know, maybe you could, what happens? I've never seen freaky Friday. Do they get hit in the head or with a shovel or something? Why do they switch places? So you're telling me freaky Friday, two women get smacked on the head with shovels. Yeah, or they smack each other because they're mad that, you know, they stole each other's boyfriend or something like that. Well, then what about freaky Friday, too? Freaky of Friday. Freaky of Friday. What happens there? What are you going to do freaky-esque Friday, do you think? They better. And I'd love to be a part of it. Give us a little taste of that. Yeah. What would that be like? Who are we going to be in this? Are there men characters in this movie? I don't know if there are. No men characters. Does it pass the reverse Bechtel test? And what's that called? The little... It's the Scott test. Okay, the Ockerman test. It's the Ockerman test. Ironic that Fun Home didn't even pass the Bechtel test. Anyway, go ahead. Let's talk about it. Well, I... No, thank you. I guess, yes, so if I, I mean, if I ever do have the honor of being in a picture like that in Freaky's Friday, it would be a dream. And I guess we can try it out here. All right, great. I'll be, I guess I'll be Lindsay Lohan's husband. She's probably... Why, why do you have to be a man? You can't play a woman? I think that's cultural appropriation or whatever the gender version of that is. So I prefer not to. I'll be your silent buddy. Like Silent Bob. Oh, I'll be Jay. All right, you're Jay. Yeah, okay. They've cast Jay instead of Bob in this movie for reasons nobody understands. Okay. All right, this is good. Great. All right, Snoochies, Boochies. There's even hum. I don't know what he does. Does he make any noises? He kind of like mimes things and like then has a grappling hook. So I say, I literally, I do nothing. I don't even go, hmm. Yeah, something. I mean, he makes faces. All right. Yeah, yeah. Let's assume that me doing that is just me making a face. Okay, great. Snoochie, Boochie. That's all I know. Hey, when Scott, do you need me to set the scene a little bit for you? Perhaps tell you what's going on here. Okay, so is it set the scene? Is it a guy who says Snoochie, Boochie? And a guy who says what we got? It could be a guy who says Snoochie, Boochie. But maybe it's easier. Perhaps I'll be Lindsay Lohan. You'll be Lindsay Lohan's husband. And then your Lindsay Lohan's husband's silent friend. Happy to do that. Okay, great. All right. And I'm acting a little bit different, aren't I? Because of course I've been swapping bodies with my mom. Okay. So it happens again that it's the same bodies. Yeah. Okay, here we go. No, this one, in the second one, it's four bodies get swapped. Four bodies get swapped. The third one probably going to be a whole... Like everyone on earth. But we all swap. It's going to swap. Yeah, and then you have to find the person. And it could be, it's like a pluribus kind of thing. It could be in the deepest, darkest reaches of Africa or something. Scott, this is an incredible idea. And I'm being told also that if you want to roll, you have to write it now. That's right. And I've mailed this to the WGA, by the way. So I own it. You beat her to it. Yep. Oh my goodness. Oh boy. We all heard me come up with this. I saw no stamp. Another important Hollywood lesson. I don't think we're going to do the scene, Scott. You're out of the scene? I'm the guy who's going to cast this. I would love to do the scene. You want to impress me? You're right, you're right. Oh, never turn down an opportunity. Always be ready when it's right. That's right. All right, here we go. So I'm talking to Lindsay the other day and she's like, what's today? And I was like, it's Thursday. She's like, oh. Can I stop you? Because we're going to have to do a second take on this, sir. Oh, yeah. I think Lindsay is the actress's name. I don't think it's the character's name. So I know that. You know what? I don't do second takes. So you're just going to have to use whatever that was. Who are you? Sinatra? Yep. Who are you? DJ T. Who are you? Who am I? Oh my God. That's the freaky Friday. Scene. Oh, scene. I got no info. She gets all the blackouts. I'm going to call blackout one of these days. What? You would like one? Yeah. She would allow it. Well, that was, what kind of voice was that? What accent did you think you were doing? Well, Lindsay Lohan has a similar upbringing to me. From Calabasas. Well, she spent a lot of time in Los Angeles. Right. So probably sounds similar. And then I thought, well, maybe her experiences have made it a little more heightened, a little more dramatic. But of course, she's a wonderful actress and a terrific person. And I'd be honored to be in a movie. Even near her in a movie would be a dream. Well, look, I own the rights to Freakiest Friday, this version where everyone in the world swaps places with one person. Oh, it would be cool if it was on the exact opposite place of the earth. Yes. Two. That would be awesome so that you had to travel exactly. It's like the amazing race meets Freaky Friday. Yeah, exactly. But what would be weird is, do more people live at the North Pole than at the South Pole? Yeah, of course. Santa and all of his elves. Well, Scott, would a lot of people be swapping with dolphins and whales and such? No. But no, I would imagine because not every piece of land on earth has an opposite. Sometimes it would be the ocean. So yeah, that would be cool. That's a great idea. I'll mail that to myself as well. And to the WG. Wait, you beat her to the punch on this, too? Just got to be quicker, I suppose. You got to have an envelope at the ready at all times. Have an envelope at the ready, a TikTok every day, Reels as well. Sure. You could probably double up on this. Film a podcast. No, they have to be separate. Film a podcast. And what was the vertical thing you mentioned? Those are pretty much front-facing. Vertical front-facing, vertical video. Exactly. Yeah. Look, I think you're on the path to success. I don't like to predict these things, but I think that you may be a huge Hollywood star and hosting every award show. Has anyone ever done that? Hosted every award show in one calendar year? I don't think so. I don't think there's like the grand slam of hosting. Yeah, they should. Has Conan done every single one of them? I know he's probably done the Emmys and the Astrid and the MTVU. He's done three that I know of. He's done three probably more. He should do the Tonys and he should do the... What are the other ones? Grammys. I... Trevor Noah had those on luck for too many years. Yeah, let's get over right over there. His fights like grip on the Grammys. But now he's out. They got rid of him. Well, he's stepping down because it's moving off of CBS now. It's moving to... I think everything's moving to streaming. Yeah, everything's moving to streaming. Well, I don't like to make predictions on this show, but I do predict you're going to be a huge Hollywood star and then you'll qualify to be on Never Not Funny. Not quite sure how you got booked on this show, but would you like to stick around? We need to take a break. Oh, I'd love to. Thank you, Scott. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have more Pearl Courgette or Courgette. What is it again? Courgette. Courgette. We're going to have more Jimmy Pardo. Plus, we're going to have a CPA. We're going to be right back with more comedy bang bang after this. Oh, I've been looking forward to this burger all day. Tell me about it. So tasty. Oh, where's Harry? Who's Harry? Our child. Oh, yeah. At Burger King, kids eat free between the 27th of March and 20th of April only on the BK app, so you can enjoy a moment's peace this school holiday. Just don't forget them.

You can get all of the free episodes out there, out from behind the paywall. They are not. If you want back, like 7, 8 back catalog, you've got to be a platinum member. Platinum member. But it's well worth it. Yeah, there's 1800 shows. 1800 shows. Who knows if you'll be even alive. If someone started right now and just listened to it continuously, how long would it take? Well, what's 1800 episodes times two? 1800 episodes times two? 3600 hours. You're going to divide that by 24. I am? Yes, you are. Why am I divided by 24? Because that's how many hours are in the day. And then we're going to figure out the days. The Jack Bauer. I thought you went by two months or two years. I don't understand why you're doing that. No, no. The number 24 is, let's see, one, carry the 12, 100, it's 100 days? Is that right? That can't be right. No, it's low. No, it's 150 days. And people don't get to sleep. They got to stay awake all the time. They got to stay awake the entire time. 150 days, they got to stay awake. You can do that. Anyone can do that. And scene. Oh, thank you, Pearl. Pearl said enough. Pearl's calling blackouts now just in our conversation. She can't take this anymore. Oh my God. Anyway, never not funny. 20th anniversary, everything at nevernotfunny.com. We also have Pearl Courgette here, an actress. Scott, the break. I booked Pearl on the show. Congratulations, Pearl. Pearl's gonna be on Never Not Funny. Thank you so much. We're very sorry. I remember another Pearl who had a similar success story. Pearl from Funny or Die, Adam McKay's daughter. Oh, yes, she showed up at the door. So I see big things with you in a similar fashion to that, Pearl. I'm so terribly excited, Scott. Do you think she's still rude to landlords? I would imagine. Based on her upbringing. I mean, and the public perception of landlords has only dimmed since then. So man, she was really, she was a pioneer. Ahead of the curve, yeah. Yeah, she truly was. Let's get to our next guest. And hopefully he's a pioneer, much like Pearl was. He is a CPA. Please welcome Greg. Gosh, Greg. It's Greg Aimee. Aimee. Yeah, Aimee. Greg Aimee. I'm sorry. Aimee. That's A-M-E-N-A-Y. That's right. Okay, Greg Aimee. Scott, thank you for having me here. Hi, Jimmy. Hi. Hello, nice to meet you. So nice to meet you. Yeah. You're a CPA, which stands for... Certified Public Accounts. And how does one get certified in a business like this? Oh, I went to school. Is it like when I went and almost got my SCUBA certification? Oh, it's a little bit more involved than that. I did have to go to, you know, college for it. But I've been doing it for, I guess, about 17 years now. 17 years? Yes. So ever since, I guess, 2009... Oh, 17 years is when we started doing this show. Oh, do you think that's why? Yeah, were you inspired by this show to become an accountant or...? Yes, I was. You did? Really? I just kind of said that jokingly, but you really were. The thing I really zeroed in on was a lot of your guests had jobs and I said, I should get a job. That's a good inspiration. They usually come on here and they talk about their job. Yeah, so, I mean, I'm so glad to hear that 17 years ago we were so inspiring to you. Thrilling for me to come full circle and be here now. Did you ever listen since 17 years ago? Nope, never again. Having had a chance to check in, I've been very busy... Very busy crushing those numbers. ...becoming a CPA and then, you know, doing the work. And now I'm kind of in the... I'm established enough that I like to sort of make public appearances close to tax time. Yeah, it's a busy week for you, is it not? Just to sort of let people know it's not too late to get your taxes filed. And it's also not too late to get some IRS approved tips for saving money on your taxes. Okay, yeah, I mean, we have a good three... Unless you've filed an extension, we have like three days or so that people can get all this together. What are some of the tips that you would give to people doing their taxes now? Well, I guess, well, if you've waited this long, you're probably procrastinating. So maybe I should start with the basics. So I'll start with like the first question that any client comes to me with, which is, is there a ceiling to the amount of money that I can write off related to the purchase or maintenance of my pet pig? That's the first question. Yes. I'm sorry, did you say pet pig? My pet... Yeah, your pet pig. Your pet pig. So a lot of your clients have pet pigs. And they're wondering... Yeah, I'm assuming... Yeah, pretty much all of them do. I'm assuming you guys all have pet pigs as well. Jimmy, do you have a pet pig? I've known you for so long, I've never asked you that question. I am allergic to most animals, so I do not have a pet pig. I would love one. I would love nothing more to have a little babe around the house. Pearl, what about you? Well, it breaks my heart to say this. I don't have a pet pig, no. You don't. Have you ever desired one? No. Was I supposed to? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, you will after you hear about this. Oh, yeah. Because I'm getting courage. I'm getting courage. I'm going to encourage all of you guys. You actually have until the 15th to get papers on a pig, and then you can actually shelter it into the previous tax year. Okay. Because there was a big change in the tax code last year, and the amount of money that you can claim under the state and local pigs tax deduction amount has jumped from $10,000 up to $40,000. $40,000 for the pet pig. You can write off $40,000 of your income on this pig. And I suggest that everyone do, because otherwise that's money that you're giving to the government. Jimmy, I mean, I know you're allergic to animals, but you don't want to. I love money more than that. I love money, money, money, money. It's just pigs. No other animal. I haven't really ever looked into it. You've never looked into this? No, I've been really focused on pigs. Okay. Okay. So, I mean, we don't know, but... Would you get a pig? If you could write off $40,000, this gentleman's suggesting it. Hell yeah. Super easy. You could operate on the PPN right now, the Pig Placement Network, or... The PPN, I've never even heard of the Pig Placement Network. That's... I understand that you don't have a pet pig, but you've never heard of the Pig Placement Network or... No, no. ...the Southern California Association of Miniatur pigs. No, I'm sorry. No, I guess I've not really clued into the whole pig culture. So maybe I've seen it, and I've just never really... It's not seeped into my consciousness or... I don't want to... I don't like to shame people that have sort of not gotten their taxes taken care of yet, but I just... Yeah. Do you like giving money to the government? I mean, because... I don't... I mean... You're giving too much. I'm telling you right now... I like to get my fair share. There we go. And that fair share has to be very, very low. And you can get it lower if you want to just sort of shelter your money into a pig. Money to the government. What do you say, shelter money into a pig? Money pig, yes. What are you talking about? Shelter money into a pig. You can write up to $40,000, so as long as you're spending money on the pig, those are all things that you can write off. You have to prove that you've spent it on the pig, though? Yes, of course. Like, what are... I don't think I could spend $40,000 on it. What do you recommend, Greg? How do I spend $40,000 on my pit pig? I could go through some of... I mean, I could really claim more than that, but just some of the stuff I've spent on a pig, my pig, this week... Peg is the name of the pig. Does that get confusing ever? No. I actually think it's very cute. Well, it doesn't sound so cute today. I'm not disputing the cuteness. I'm just saying, if you were to say, like, Peg, in a certain way, people might think... It could be one of the other 20 pigs that are... Or if you wanted to just say the word, Peg. Yeah. Like, I want to Peg you. Exactly. Exactly, Scott. And then your pig is like, hello, I'm right here. You're like, not you. That's tail and curls. It does get confusing only in that my pig's name is Peg, but my wife's name is Pig. So that's a little bit of a lie. Is that true? Yes. Yeah, Pig. It's short for pignesia. Pignesia. What a beautiful name that is. That's a beautiful name. Yeah, that's gorgeous, actually. Yeah, I've never thought about that. Peg is a song by Steely Dan. Is that playing to this at all? That do. That do? That do? That do? Thank you, Greg. Well, this... I mean, so what are you spending on your pig then? Your... God. Peg is your pig. This week, well, I spoiler a little bit, so I spent $700.00. This week on an Air Maze leather harness. Okay. Air Maze. I... Of course, I'm spending about $3,000.00 a week on Private Chef. Private Chef. For Peg. $150.00 an hour for armed security, private security for Peg. Does Peg need a nanny? That's another side hustle that a lot of actors do. Oh, yeah. That's a great idea. Do you need a Peg nanny? Greg, a Pig nanny. A Pig nanny. To help her get to and from work, so that's something... What is Peg due? Peg has a job? Yes. Peg is a data analyst for Kaiser Permanente. Peg the pig? Yes. We're talking about your wife, Pig, right now. No, I'm talking about my... No. My wife, Pig, does gun repair. Gun repair. What's going wrong with this many guns that someone... Well, you gotta get them fixed. You gotta clean them. There have been... I'm sorry to say, it's a business... Don't just throw away your gun if it's not working. No. Just buy a new one. I see that in movies all the time. It doesn't work, they just toss it. They just throw it at the person. They don't even care. Yeah. No, that's bad. Especially if somehow your pig has damaged the gun, you can write that off. You can shelter that into your pig as well in terms of $40000. Okay, you shouldn't be keeping your guns unlocked around your pigs, I think. Do you have children? No. Okay, that's maybe a good thing. It's just a three. Because it sounds like this is very expensive for you to be spending so much money on these pigs. I don't see it that way because this is money that I'd be handing over to the government and instead I'm handing it over to a pig who I love. Do you know how this works? It's not... You wouldn't be handing the equivalent value of this money over to the government. I think I know how it works. He's just a certified public account. All right, off is just... 17 years. He knows this stuff. Okay, you know your stuff. What else are you buying for your pig? What else am I buying for the pig? I am spending probably $400 a month in riding lessons. Right. She's got all those. Is riding a horse? Yes. She can't just work all the time, Scott. She has to have hobbies as well. Okay, I think it's bizarre that your pig is working. Why was... I spent all the money on her in taking that coding boot camp and then she's sort of... It was a boot camp? Not just a regular course? Yeah. Does she pay taxes as well, the pig? Oh, no. She's a tax part of the beauty part of it, yes. Okay. Look, I don't mean to overstep. It's of course a miracle I'm even here, but do you spend any of this money on your wife pig or...? She has her own money. We have made a choice to have separate accounts. So gun repair is doing well for her. It's doing better than being a CPA right now. She's... A pig-related CPA, I can imagine. I do other... I feel like I'm getting a lot of resistance from my pig tips, which I don't understand at all, but I can move on to other taxes. It's confusing, Reg. I'll be honest. Well, you guys, you're an actress, right? And you guys are in the industry, so you guys are... Yeah, I mean, I hate the questionable nature of that. But yeah, we are in the industry. You're self-employed, you're independent contractor. Yes, yes. And I haven't made any income yet. Well, this is something because you're about to be on Never Not Funny. You're going to start making money. Something that you will want to do is, as an independent contractor, you can write off your home office on your taxes. You calculate the square footage of your home office, compare that to your house. And then another thing you can do, if you guys do take my advice and get a pig, is you can write off your bedroom if you let your pig sleep in the bed with you. Okay, we're back to the pig things. I thought you were going to give us other advice. Well, it just... Does he just... It seemed like you were giving normal advice and then it's... You want no pig stuff. ...seg weight into pigs. Well, you know... I'm going to have to dig deep, but... You know how when you're on social media, you can mute certain words? I would love to mute you saying pig. So I guess I won't ask... You have a follow-up? Well, I guess it just sounds like you share a bed with peg and pig. Yeah, we have a California king. It's tight, but we're all... Are you in the middle? Me and peg and pig. No, peg's in the middle. Which one is peg? Peg is the pig. Peg is the pig. Peg is the pig. Okay. And my wife's name is Pig. And do you ever get amorous with either? Scott. If I'm asking about your wife, why are you taking such umbrage? Well, peg's in the bed right there just to get up and go to work in the morning. Okay. So you're saving your love-making times for when peg, right, goes to work? Yes. Meanwhile, peg's at home. No, pig has her own gun repair shop. So what are you just jerking off all day? Can you write that off? Have sex with one of them? I beseech you. Why do you... Why is your... Why are you concerned about this? Well, I want our guests to not be sexually frustrated. All right. You guys don't like the pig. I can get it. Nobody's showing it. I didn't like it. I just confused it. It doesn't apply. It doesn't apply. It doesn't apply. I think a lot of our listeners don't have these pigs. I'm going to disagree with you there, but for the people in the room, maybe there are other people like that. Well, one thing you could do is you could also put money into various accounts. There's three accounts I always tell people about. You get really two... Only two are going to apply to you guys, but you could put some money into a 401K or an HSA health thing. So the third pig is... The third account is pig-related. Is that what I'm getting? It's an SRA. Yes, it's a Sue A Day retirement account. Okay. Well, she's not going to be a data analyst forever. She's going to retire at some point. She's got to be taken care of. Okay. Okay. You know what? I opened the door that time and I regret it. It's my fault. I think you guys are being very closed-minded. I get the vibe that none of you are going to race out to Chatsworth or to Valley Center or one of these places that you'll find on the PPN and get yourself a pig today. You have time. Why are these towns so... Why do they have all the pigs? That's where the farms are, Scott. Okay. All right. There's places all over the country for... I'm assuming there's tons of listeners, not in California. We're not just a California-based podcast, although a lot of the references, people would assume that. You and I both. But I mean, these are mainly unhelpful tips, but... What about... How about charitable donation? Charitable donation. I would love to hear what you've got. Oh, that's good. Because a lot of times I'm looking for places to put my money, but I also wonder how much I can actually donate. I mean, there's a number of great places that you could give money to. The one place I would spotlight right now is the Harvest Angels Food Bank. Okay. What do they do? Where are they located? They are located in Valley Center, California. Okay. And they help pigs who'd like to get on America's Got Talent. Oh, wow. A challenge to pig. Yeah, pigs that want to become famous and they do dancing and music. Has a pig ever been on America's Got Talent? Not yet. That's why they think they're due. That's why who thinks they're due. The pigs think that they can get on America's Got Talent because naturally we'll get to them because they're asking for it. Let me be clear. I'm a certified public accountant. I don't know what goes on in the inner minds of pigs. Right. Because pigs don't actually speak English, right? No. I feel silly even asking that question. I'm glad you did. You are glad I did. I'm glad you did. What about that pig in Charlotte's Web? He had a little something to say. Although were they just speaking their own languages and they could understand each other? I'm not going to say that. Oh, wait, but no, then doesn't the spider like put in the web? The spider writes in the web? And so that spider knows English. But I wonder if that spider just happens to know various languages. Speaking spider to the pig, the pig speaks spider, but then it's like, okay, I'm going to put this up in English because the farmer knows English. I mean, I know Peg doesn't speak English, but she does communicate through tapping of her hooves. And that's how she communicates with her coworkers and friends. And she speaks coding languages. Yes, she understands coding. Yeah. She understands English, but I think dogs understand English. I mean, what's that famous horse that everyone thought was adding number? Sea biscuit. No, guys, you're going to have to let me finish. What's that famous horse that... Secretary. No, guys, I'm afraid there's a little more to say. All right. What's that famous horse? Black Beauty. Black Beauty. Black Beauty. I mean, arguably these days, yes, the most famous horse, but the famous horse that would tap its foot and its owner thought that it knew math. Donkey from Shrek. Not a horse. It was donkey, I think. Not a horse, but a very funny character, we all admit. Like a parfait. The owner thought that it would give it mathematical problems and it would tap the... That's the first mistake he made. The owner? Yeah. Okay, what's the last mistake? Owning the horse. Owning the horse. That's not financially benefit. If you're trying to save money on your taxes, make sure you do want to own a pig. You do not want to own a horse. That's very bad for your taxes. Why is it owning a horse? You can rent a horse or you can visit a horse, but once you own a horse, according to changes in the tax code, the government then sees you as your own sovereign nation because that's the start of an army. Oh, that's fast. Really? Yes. The only class is own horses and well, they're queens. These 19-year-olds are queens. They're not your old favorite horses? They're not queen. They're horses? They're own horses. That's right. Come to Melrose, see what I'm talking about. They're all on a horseback. Can I ask you a question? Are you from Calabasas? That's right. That's where pig is from. You have the same accent. So pig does speak. No, pig's his wife. No, my wife is pig. My pig is pig. What was pig short for again? Pignatia. Pignatia. And what is pig short for? A pegatha, I think. Really? You've never asked? She came with her own name. When you, again, check out the PPN. This is none of your business. They handle all this for you on the PPN. PPN does it all. Clever Hans, by the way, is the name of the horse. And what would this gentleman say, hey, seven plus four. And then it would tap its feet and even the owner thought it could do these math problems. And then it was proven it could not. And then they found out it was because of the way the owner was breathing. Once it reached the right answer, it would like his physical body would change or his breathing would change and then the horse would know to stop. But the guy also was excited. It wasn't a scam. It wasn't a scam. It wasn't a scam. He thought- No, no, no. They talk about it with AI, how everyone thinks AI is alive, but it's really a Clever Hans situation. Well, I don't, okay. Okay. I'll Google that and you rapping. I got two things. Yeah, you got two assignments. I got two assignments. I know it's a very busy 20th anniversary. I was like, I'm also going to buy a pig. I've got three things to do. Yeah. Now you own the pig and you consider yourself to own a pig. Is that right? Yeah. Is it- No, I mean, is it moral? Is it moral? Yeah, because it seems like you've, you know, you're, you know, it seems like you love this pig and it's, but is it right to own an animal? Yes. I think so. And at least where I'm from. I mean, I don't know. Where are you from? I'm from Glassel Park, California. Oh, okay. And your name, Greg Aimee, that's pig latin for name. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes, it is. Is that right? That is true. First time it's come up. First time it's come up. Holy smooth. And this is a real live animal and not a piggy bank. No, this is a real animal. Okay. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Why are you so concerned that I have some sort of extra something going on? Why did you just pull out of your bag? Well, Scott described that for me. I have to take a, I don't have my phone on. Can you take a picture of this, Jimmy? Possibly? I, you brought out the largest jug of the cloudiest liquid I've ever seen. I'm having a colonoscopy tonight. Oh, tonight? Yeah. There's a weird timing. I've got to do, well, oh, I disagree. Are we talking midnight colonoscopy? Yeah, Friday night colonoscopy. Wow. I've worked hard all week as a CPA and now I'm going to take a nice nap. Okay. So you have to drink that whole thing by when, by the end of the show? Yeah. How much more time do we have? An hour? No, no, no, we have, we only have like 10 minutes at most. You're just starting it now. It's good. You're supposed to, it's not good. It's not good. Yeah. It is not good. It is very good. I've had colonoscopies. It's not good. I'd love to give you some, but I'm supposed to drink a whole beer. I would love to not have any. It's very good. No, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't believe, I've had a colonoscopy recently. And I don't believe you. Greg, I think it's supposed to be half now than you'd have half later. You don't have to do it all in one. I figured I could just double it. I don't think that's how to do it. I'm worried about you. This is a, this is a late addition to your mythos, by the way, that normally. What a ethos. I'm a, I'm a regular man. Okay. So I come on your podcast and I'm allowed to be a CPA and that's it. Just in the same way that my pig can't have a job and my wife can't be named pig. No, your pig is the weird thing. Not this colonoscopy drink that you've brought out. I don't think it's a weird thing at all. It's a love, it's a member of my family who I love. Who happens to be saving me thousands of dollars every year. You want to give your money to the government? Go ahead. I'm giving my money to my pig. Money government, no money pig yet. Okay. All right. All right, Greg. Look, I, I, you're a very interesting guy and you're, you've returned back to your colonoscopy drink. Greg, please stop drinking. Well, I've got to drink it. Yeah, he's got you, Pearl. I've got it. I've got it scheduled. I thought it was an OCD. I saw Greg move the coasters over and put them all in a line. I'm like, what OCD thing is happening? No, he just, he needs four coasters to put this giant drink on. It's, I know this is an audio podcast, but it's a big bottle. Yeah, it is. That's your photograph. One coaster isn't going to get it. Oh my gosh. Well, Greg, thank you for being here and giving us these tips. We are running out of time, if that's okay. We, we really only have time for one final feature on the show. That is, of course, a little something called plugs. You got no place to hide. Oh yeah, that was theme song from Plug Back Night Season Two by Parterio. Thank you to Parterio. And speaking of people that sound like Parterio, Jimmy Pardone. Hi. What are we plugging? Obviously, Never Not Funny. Everything's available there at nevernotfunny.com. That's right. It's a great anniversary. But I will be, you mentioned my set up comedy earlier. Yes. And so here's always a great night at the theater. Thank you very much. In fact, I will be at the Bug Theater in Denver on the 29th of April. I will also then the next night be at the Tacoma Comedy Club on Thursday, the 30th of April. I then drive down to Portland. I'll be at the Siren Theater. What a drive that is. It's a beautiful drive. Oh, gorgeous. That's on the 1st of May. Mayday. Mayday, Mayday. We're going to have fun tonight. That's how you can remember. What? In the middle of my plugs, we're doing that? Sure. What better time? I've got tickets to move. And then actually I had to be in Salt Lake City the 2nd of May, Salt Lake City at the Wise Guys Comedy Club. Come on out, one show each. No, Portland's two shows. Come on out. Fantastic. You're one of the original Wise Guys too, I was reading. Right. Yeah, it's right on my Wikipedia page. I need to probably have that removed, but it is on the page. There is no better night at the theater than going to see Jimmy Pardo do his stand-up. Hamilton's close. Hamilton can get it. Yeah. You know what? I'm a lay-miss guy. You've always said that. Yeah. Because you really, really, you stole some bread. I stole and ran early in my life. That's right. All right. Pearl, Pearl, what do you want to plug? I mean, obviously you don't have a lot of work, but your upcoming appearance on Never Enough. Oh, it's exciting. Oh, hello, Scott. Hello, I'm trying it, Pearl. I'd like to plug. Well, in my acting journey, I've taken some improvisation classes. I've been seeing some amazing shows at the Upright Citizens Brigade, specifically on... The one in Los Angeles? The one in Los Angeles on Franklin and near Bronson. Sure. We don't need to give out the exact address necessarily. Oh, there's Bronson and... No, no, that's all right. You can just continue. Yeah, no, you can keep going. It's by the Cherimoya School, sure. But I would suggest people come see Harold Knight with a fun show Monday night. This is a man named Harold who does what now? Oh, Scott, that's clever. It's actually... It's so funny because I, LOL at Jimmy over here, and just to see the succession, now you're laughing at me. It's like the succession of laughter. It is. You know? Wow. It's a beautiful thing, a wonderful thing. You would laugh a lot if you came to the Upright Citizens Brigade and saw a show called Harold Knight, no man named Harold, and a team called Yikes. Yikes? Yikes. But a man named Harold possibly could be performing... He could be there. Then we got a pig peg situation that if Harold... That's right. If Harold's doing the Harold... Yeah. All right. Can't be the first person to say that. Greg Aimee. I guess, can't be. Greg Aimee. Yeah. No, what do you want to plug, Greg? Stop drinking up your drink right as you're about to talk. Tonight I'll be at... Where are you going tonight? The Kaiser Permanente on Sunset getting a colonoscopy. A night colonoscopy. Yeah. All right. All right. Sure. Stop swig. You're in the middle of your blog. I've got to get it done. Okay. Right there. Okay. Well, you know, I don't know how many things I have to plug, but one of my clients is a comedian and a writer here in Los Angeles. His name's Joe Wenger. He's never appeared on this show. This guy owns a pig? Of course he does. Okay. When my client... All right. I never knew that about it. I know Joe, actually. He wrote for the Comedy Bang Bang television show. Oh, is that right? That's right. Yes. That's right. And he never brought the pig to the office. Never brought the... Yeah. This is all news to me. He was in financial dire straits at that point. It was after he worked for you that I got him to that. Oh, I see. Because he did my show, he was in financial dire straits. This makes sense. He was making money and handing it all over to the government. Oh, God, I got it. My perfectly sound advice that I get to share. Sure. But what about Joe? What's he got to do? He's got a show coming out on a prime video on April 20th called Kevin. And it's about... It's semi-autobiographical. It's about his relationship with his pet, not his pig. This guy is another pet. He co-created the show with Aubrey Plaza. They used to date. They adopted a cat named Kevin and then they broke up and then what do you do with the cat? And in this show, this couple breaks up and Kevin, the cat, says, fuck you guys, I'm going to go live on my own. And he moves into a pet rescue where he lives with other independent cats. And it features tons of former comedy bang bang guests. And what about the host? Is he on this or...? He could be. He could be for season two. He's uninvincible this season. Got a lot of great reviews. Is that right? Yeah. But Gillo Zerry is in the main cast, a part in on Cherla. We love all these people. And this is co-created by Joe, you say, and stop drinking your thing. Co-created by Joe and Aubrey? By Joe and Aubrey, yeah. Fantastic. And this is on Amazon Prime. And Dan Murphy is our other co-creator. Dan Murphy. Amazon Prime? Amazon Prime, April 20th. April 20th. All eight episodes. Next week. They all drop at once. They all... you can binge the whole show. Love it. All right. Well, what do I want to plug? Look, I mentioned it before. The Comedy Bang Bang Tour is coming out there very soon. We're starting May 25th in Toronto.
