Earwolf Synopsis[]
Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast FINALLY gets the guest you have all been waiting for: Rocky Aukerman! Scott’s adorable Boston Terrier will keep you company through this week’s episode. He’s there while Jason Mantzoukas tells us about his role on this season of The League. He hangs around silently while Bill Carter of Trainer for the Stars, Seeking Stars.org tells us about training his celebrity clientele (spoiler: It’s all about getting your heart rate up!), using black magic, and what it was like for him growing up without cell phones and Tivo. It isn’t hard to imagine Rocky curling up in your lap to hear the traditional Irish storytelling of Patrick McMahon, and then getting up and leaving when Patrick starts composing his own impromptu limericks. If you listen closely, you can very faintly hear Rocky telling you all to check out the Earwolf store for awesome podcast merchandise.

The Storyteller from Limerick[]
Patrick McMahon is a storyteller from the town of Limerick, Ireland, he only writes limericks when he is specifically asked as he recently retired from writing limericks after 50 years. One of his limericks is a suicide note which was applauded by the suicide community.
Jason reads one of Patrick's limericks:
- "Happy 50th to Margaret and Ted, I thank God that neither is dead, I've slept with you both, despite your sacred oath, turns out Rosebud was a sled."
Patrick reads one of his stories, he admits most of his stories start "I'll tell you a story, about Johnny MacGory" which raises Scott and Jason's expectation there is going to be more rhyming. Scott eventually gets Patrick to admit he is Johnny MacGory.
