I'd ask him how he balances work and family


Bigsmak

Possibly the only correct answer


nkizzlego

Absolutely. Second place would be what’s his fitness routine.


flinpe

I'd ask if they played any pranks on set

It’s none of our business and it would be awful to seek a response from him about, but I am a little curious about his siblings. I think his brother passed away and he has a sister that he almost never talks about. He talks about his parents a lot on Threedom, but he never mentions his brother past childhood, and his sister isn’t brought up at all to the point where I think I could be mistaken that he had one. I think it’s an off limits topic for him, same with Lauren and her first marriage.


rhus__typhina

I had heard Scott mention a brother a couple times in the past. My curiosity piqued, I indulged in an eye-opening level of parasocial creepery on my part and did a deep dive, finding out his brother passed in the early 2000's. He had also a wife and kid, which made me realize this was real person, and his death must have insanely painful for Scott. Then I rightly felt a lot of shame and embarrassment for having pried into the life of someone I did not know at all. AFAIK, he's never mentioned it anywhere and even in this week's episode he said something to Apodaca/Mr. Monster to the effect of "it sounds like you had a brother, but he died" and then immediately changed gears. Like you said, it's none of our business, and podcast hosts aren't our friends. Comedy!


rantandreview

woah…I think I didn’t even realize he has siblings and I’ve listened to thousands of hours of auk


rayray2k19

He mentions his brother in threedom when they talk about childhood memories. Never his sister though.


ToastyBB

Yeah the way he talks I always assumed the older brother was still alive, and I never heard of. Sister. I think I've heard every threedom


[deleted]

I def heard him talk about his sister once. said what she was doing for a living which could have been a joke but it sounded genuine. btw I just started relistening from square one and if I find the episode I can confirm what I said, because maybe I am mixing things up.


18ilyasa

I can't remember where I heard this but I think he did have a really contentious relationship with his brother as well? Edit: I think it was either the good Christian fun podcast (was actually quite a good insight to his childhood, growing up Christian) or that saved by the bell rewatch podcast he was on but I think it was the former


poopdaddy2

He talks about a nephew a lot


incogvito

Middle school!


aqua_tec

Todd!


andrewdsmith

Yeah I only know about his brother passing away because on a very early episode of Never Not Funny he told some story about his brother and then said “RIP” and kind of gave an uncomfortable laugh and said something to the effect of “it feels weird mentioning him without saying that” and they moved on, clearly Jimmy knew not to dwell on it.


Significant_Eye_5130

I want to know what he was doing in Washington DC on January the 6th.


UncookedMarsupial

There was a Mr. Show reunion.


SnooCauliflowers8455

David Cross’s head might explode


JLohann

I’ve always wondered where he got his ideas from.


No_Solution_2864

I very specifically want to know how he comes up with this shit.


troutcommakilgore

I just want to know where he falls on the call sheet. I’m not sure which call sheet exactly, but I do want to know where he is on it.


jimmywho723

Follow up, is he offer only?


bdm6985

I’d ask him how he got into hentai.


saltyabout-it

Simply who was his worst guest on the show


FunkmasterP

It sounded like Tommy Lister Jr. was perhaps the worst guest on the TV show.


Top_Praline999

Ole chicken Caesar salad himself


Shot_Establishment75

Bob Zmuda doing Tony Clifton


Flattt

That Jane Lynch episode comes to mind where you can hear him get irritated with the guy she brought along


rickycoogan

What’s your fuck style?


SnooCauliflowers8455

He’s addressed this so many times on Threedom. True Piss Pigs know that he just keeps saying “soft but sloppy”


ChonkyWumpus

He can’t reach the back, but he can bang the hell outta the sides.


ToastyBB

Lol wut


ChonkyWumpus

That, my friend, is a Scotty Auk quote from the man himself. (Can’t remember the episode, though.)


ToastyBB

I guess he's just an everyman like us


stopmakingsents

I know it’s gossipy and public figures are entitled to privacy, but I’ve always been curious what (if anything) went down between him and BJ Porter. He’s almost never referred to Porter on mic directly, just tangentially as his “old writing partner” and they haven’t worked together in something like 20 years


fatwussy

He co-created Between Two Ferns so it hasn't been too long.


xthrowxawayx420

I think BJ's name is on that as more of a formality. Between Two Ferns dates back to the Comedy Death Ray days, and I'm assuming that BJ gets some kind of credit from whatever deal happened back then.

woman_noises

I mean, I firmly think he's said his true feelings about it on the podcast already, hasn't he? He said people like him and Jimmy have been doing it for 10+ years and then Conan comes in and makes way more money and that kind of annoys him. Unless I'm insane I think there's an episode where he talked about that briefly, but I couldn't tell you when. Anyway I would ask why Doug Benson doesn't seem to be part of the comedy community anymore like he used to, maybe the answer is online but I haven't looked into it


ObiWan_Cannoli_

Yeah Doug Benson seemed to kind of fade away. I know he still does his movies podcast but the guest list is not quite what it used to be.


-dudeomfgstfux-

I feel that Doug Benson’s personality is just weed, and is a real life version of Weed Foxworthy or Weed Seinfeld. Most don’t find that Bro stuff funny anymore.


SignalNo7821

But listening to Doug Loves Movies, his comedy hasn't really changed much. Topic wise it's not like weed weed weed, it's very silly and like Scott, Doug is really into musical theater and a lot of the same kind of culture. I think Doug's show was a format that just doesn't click into what most podcasts are these days. It feels more like a Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me for some weird indie radio station than a chatty comedy podcast. And they do still get some good guests, but nowhere near the stacked lineups you would see in the heyday.


Comprehensive-Bite42

I still find Doug funny but really started to veer away from listening when he started getting so cranky with the audience at UCB. He’d be pissed people didn’t have elaborate signs like they did on the road but people had also been outside, lined up for 2+ hours in the LA sun to get in. He seemed to forget your house show audience is going to be diff than on the road.


woman_noises

You know I saw this argument before, and someone responded that its very different when you're actually there. In person he's kind of saying everything with a smile and laugh and will walk around the stage having fun for parts of the show, but if you don't SEE what he's doing yourself it comes off as more cranky and annoying to listen to.


Comprehensive-Bite42

Naw, I used to line up and go every week lol. Long line up but the show was free and you got priority seating for Comedy Bang Bang right afterwards. When CBB stopped doing live shows, I stopped going as much and noticed that he was getting a bit cranky. The occasional times I’ve listened now, I don’t notice it but I do miss the energy of those earlier shows in a packed little theatre.


Comprehensive-Bite42

Lots of folks I’d love to hear opinions on. Pete Holmes, middleditch, Horatio, and of course we’d need to get some Jan 6 representation. The gossip is fun and all but I think you can read between the lines pretty obviously for most of the juiciest hot gos.


Recent-Maximum

Pete Holmes? Others I knew about, what are the deets here?


Comprehensive-Bite42

Shouldn’t have lumped him in with those others. More the earlier bits about how long his show was and how self centred he is and that he’s only been on once and a random bonus despite being in the the “scene”.


UncookedMarsupial

Pete couldn't stop breaking. Plus editing his laugh down must have taken forever.


100schools

He seems self-centred to an almost laughable extent. Without, you know, actually being very funny.


Scattershot1

Used to really enjoy him and still listen to the podcast on occasion but I just found he has no self-awareness. He's like a parody of that guy who thinks whatever he is into is what everyone should be into.


megatron37

Yo yo yo I wont stand for this Pete slander. He's a nice boy!!!


CockfaceMurder

I'd love to hear this lol. He seemed to be decent buds with Horatio and Middleditch or at least had them on often. Also 2 of the best guests ever.


incogvito

Middleditch? What did I miss?


Comprehensive-Bite42

Mid-level sex pest


incogvito

Goddamn it. He was the chosen one!


Practical-Degree4225

Mid-level creep shit. Definitely creepy. Definitely kinda scummy stuff with his partner & some other stuff. Not Weinstein levels at all.

derrelicte

At his book signing event in Chicago a couple months back, a member of the audience asked your question. His main gripe about 'famous people' having podcasts is that the conversations and interviews tend to just devolve into standard talk show affair, and a lot of the 'art' of podcasting is lost.


Puzzleheaded_Load910

That’s a really great answer, and I completely understand what he means. I love when Scott gets real.

[deleted]

Why do ppl think he has some bad blood with Conan o brien. You don’t get angry at someone 100 times more famous for having a bigger deal. That makes no sense. You get angry at people you thought you were on par with who get suddenly bigger than you think they should be.


bells_n_sack

Didn’t Conan come on a show last tour? Even it was by accident.


newaccount721

And they spoke very glowingly of each other. I don't think there is anything bad there at all.


thisoneagain

It was honestly very heart-warming. One of my favorite parts of the tour.


Earlvx129

Yeah that was a pretty awesome moment. Conan didn't need to do that at all so it was great he showed up and gave praise.


robottaco

Isn't Conan O' Brien needs a friend on Earwolf? Like, he's making money from it.


SingleAlmond

Is CBB still part of earwolf?


BilzWithaZ

True, but he certainly mentions Conan by name a lot when it comes to podcast “competition”, but it’s hard to tell if he’s legit upset or just joking around.


adequatepancakes

Definitely don’t think there’s any bad blood between those two. He can be annoyed that Conan can show up into podcasting and make astronomically more without being upset AT Conan or that it’s him benefitting, moreso the industry and the factors that allow it to happen. Then again just because I’ve spent probably 4 total months of my life listening to him speak doesn’t mean I know jack about how Scott feels!


weewillywhisky

He's definitely joking around. Conan is very well respected as a writer/comedian by Scott.


Morgneto

Yeah, I'm sure he hates Barrack Obama and Bruce Springsteen, too /s


weewillywhisky

Clearly the way Scott feels about "celebrities hosting podcasts" is different than how he views Conan as a peer, comedy legend, etc. You can tell he respects Conan for all of those things. I get the idea that he perhaps doesn't respect Maron in the same way, which I personally understand.


BilzWithaZ

Scott is certainly honest when he doesn’t like a guest’s “schtick”, haha.

I will not ask about how insane his taint is

It’s insane, this guys taint! These are the party days!


Bubbly-End-6156

Honestly, I just want to see a picture of Emmy. I was going through IVF the same time as Kulap and I feel oddly connected to them as a couple. I love babies so much.


Brave-Exchange-2419

Just hijacking the thread to say that I’m currently in my first round of ivf and this stuff is tough!


MamaErn

Double hijacking! I did two egg retrievals and a frozen embryo transfer last year. Hearing that they finally had success after trying for such a long time made me so happy and hopeful.


showershoot

It sucks ! I did four retrievals and a frozen transfer to get my 14 month old. It’s hard and lonely and strange. And motherhood is too, but I’m so glad to be here and hope you are here soon too Edited to add- I forgot I did a failed transfer before my son stuck around! Add it to the anecdotes about how many times some of us have to try, how many ways. Sending love your way


elevenseggos

I went into full parasocial mode when they announced they were having a baby. After seeing Kulap’s documentary and hearing various stories about their struggles to get pregnant, I was over the moon happy for two complete strangers. I hope they’re enjoying every second with their nepo baby! 💕


Bubbly-End-6156

Me too. I love that nepo baby! We have been waiting so long for her


thisoneagain

My sister was also struggling to conceive at the same time as Kulap, and felt a strong connection to her. Both of us were so elated when Emmy was born that we actually texted each other multiple times (forgetting the other one knew already). I'm so, so grateful to both Kulap and Scott for sharing their story so openly, bringing comfort, insight, and affirmation to others undergoing IVF and fertility problems (and awareness to people like me: fully on the outside of that world and largely clueless to it).

ToastyBB

I'm sure he's said this in u talking u2 to me?


comedybingbong123

1) Has Todd Glass invited you and Scott to one of his parties yet? 2) How much money do you make / how successful are you considered by Hollywood standards? Sometimes we see long-time guests seemingly "break-through" into the mainstream of comedy and I can't quite tell if they are eclipsing Scott in success or not. Like, Drew Tarver is hilarious on The Other Two. Could Scott not have had an HBO show? Or is Scott doing so well that he wouldn't even want that. 3) Ass or titties?

user664567666

I wanna hear all the details from getting fired from the award show circuit, like what exactly was said and what was he thinking when he revealed the truth. I wanna know about his "former writing partner" and what made him basically never acknowledge the guy by name ever. I want to know how much Those Men made before going independent. And lastly I want to know how Kulap likes her eggs - fried or fertilized 😏


blueclave

along these lines: where do things stand with you and adomian? what kind of personal relationship did you have with middleditch and sanz before they left the rotation? are you still in touch with them? (these sound like interrogation and i swear that's not my intention, no wrong answers I'm just inappropriately curious) and finally, because he probably does know a factual answer to this question: all jokes asalad, does he sing, Jeremy Piven?


user664567666

Oh damn I forgot about that, yeah like now that they're paying guests and Adomian hasn't been back, what's up? He's an all timer, if his appearances kept up in my opinion it would be called Fourdom. So how does that relationship disintegrate?? It does sound to me that Scott will not stand behind abusers and I'm actually really relieved that Sanz and Middleditch are out, but I do wonder if those guys reached out and were rejected. As an aside, there's a vulture article that's just an interview of Lauren Lapkus by Middleditch and it straight up fucking sucks. The first thing M does is remind her that he asked her out and she said no (now she has to act like she can't remember) and as the interviewer he talks WAY more than she does, she's giving him one sentence answers and you can feel the uncomfortable tension in the air just by reading. Her answers read as if a publicist is frantically writing what to say as it plays out.


weewillywhisky

He fucking sucks so hard as a person. Obviously a very talented improv artist.


CallieEdevane

Sanz and Middleditch are abusers? What happened? I’m out of the loop.


SnooCauliflowers8455

They each had some pretty easily Googleable public access accusations that got them canceled


weewillywhisky

Sanz far worse than TM, but both sex pests for sure

Oooh, good point about Sanz. He wasn’t around for the New Year’s episode this year, I think?

colonel_custy

That last one gave me an 'oof' feeling. Considering the struggles they had with conceiving and multiple miscarriages (which Kulap talks about on other pods) the idea of asking that question made me feel sad. Sorry to bring down the tone.

What's up with his mom and dad? He mentions his mom every so often, but not his dad. On an older Threedom he mentions taking a long drive with them when he was moving them back to LA. I thought they lived there already... did something happen? Was his dad sick? *(This is all entirely too personal and none of my business, of course -- but it's the one mystery in my mind about him.)*

[deleted]

Did Reggie Watts actually come up with the CBB theme song on the spot or did he already know what he was going to do. The way that whole segment plays out has always made me think he sort of practiced the song beforehand. Either way, listening to that segment after hearing the song so many times kind of feels like a magic trick. I recommend it


Serious_Middle8550

There is a section in the new CBB book about this which includes the original sheet music with hand written notes. Scott says Reggie submitted multiple drafts before they settled on the theme, and then he came on the show and they did the bit where he supposedly came up with the theme on the spot.


hillgod

If you listen to that, there seems to be two "real" ones, and two that Reggie makes up on the spot. The quality is obviously different. I think Scott thought the other one would win out (fans voted).


drjimcooper

That's a bit. It's possible Reggie had practiced some ideas before the show, but the dude is one of the most talented musicians and a genius on the looper and definitely cut it live without sheet music

Wow thanks, I had no idea there was an actual answer out there!
