Ethan: Ok, can you just test your sound for me really fast?  I'm just going to test all of the equipment here.

Ken: I'm screwing with you! Test test test.

Ethan: I think that's the perfect way to start the interview right there.

Ken: I'm old and I'm not actually a sick pervert, I'm just a regular internet pervert. (cheerful music plays in background)

Today, a man comes before us, not just any man, a great man.

One who dared to do an AMA on Reddit without clearing his browsing history, without creating a throwaway!

Ethan: Hi Ken, what up? Thanks for joining us! Such a joy to have you!

Ken: I'm glad to be here! How's it going?

Ethan: If you guys don't know who Ken Bone is, he asked a question at the presidential debate,

Wha-what was it tha-that people just set you-set 'em off?

Ken: I think it started as the debate could not have been anymore negative.

Ken: It was a bummer to watch. Ethan: Right.

Ken: It made everybody want to put their head down.

And here's this goofy guy in the front row with a cherry red sweater and a big mustache, you know, he's kind of funny looking.

And so it kind of sparked an internet meme,

it was something light-hearted to grab a hold of in the middle of all this negativity.

Ethan: On the next day, the next day on the internet, all anyone was talking about was Ken Bone.

I think the combination of your wonderful charming looks and the name itself, I mean Bone it's quite a last name.

I commend you on having such a won--, is that your real last name?

Ken: That is my real last name, my grandfather's name was also Ken Bone, his father's name was Bentley.

His older brother's name was Oral, they had it a little worse than I did.

Ethan: No way, you have an Oral Bone in your family Ken!?

Do you have any plans for your son's name? Do we have any kind of... like uh... like uh

What do you got in plans for your children; do you have children?

Ken: I have one and I'm not having any more. His name's Logan. He turned 13 a couple of days ago.

Well congratulations to him, happy thirteenth birthday.

Is there any chance of maybe legally changing his name to something a little more entertaining,

I mean Oral, I can't even imagine anything - maybe just Oral. Go back to Oral.

Ken: Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.

Even Uncle Oral goes by his middle name: David.

First of all. You definitely pull - I think you pull off the moustache a little better than me.

I think you've definitely got the totes adorbs.

But for me, I just kinda look more like a Mexican drug dealer, a Pablo Escobar character.

I- do you have any tips? What am I doing wrong?

Ken: I think you look fantastic. Ethan: Thank you.

Ken: Uh, maybe, uh trim it a little closer to the lips. Ethan: Mm!

Ken: And let it get just a bit longer. Kinda train it.

And to be honest with ya, I don't even like the mustache.

Uh, I have it because my grandfather had it, and he was one of the best human beings I ever met. Ethan: Wow.

Ken: It's kinda my nod to him. He was the original Ken Bone.

Ethan: God, the Bone family legacy, the Bone roots go deep in your family.

So you're suggesting cut it a little bit closer to the lip?

Ken: Yeah, I like to keep mine, you know, like right here in the fat creases of my face. Ethan: Follow the fat crease?

Ken: Yeah. Ethan: Well, I'll tell you what. You hold on one second.

Kay, I'm gonna clean up my 'stache, and I want to come back and I want you to grade it, okay? Just gimme- just hold on one sec.

Ken: Alright, do your best to keep all sides even.

Ken: That looks fantastic. That's a big improvement already. Ethan: You know what?

You take the handlebars off and you look less like a criminal and more just like kinda the Bone Stache.

Ethan: This is the Bo- the bone stache stops at the fat rolls, right?

Ken: Yea like right at the, right at the chub crease right here, like.

Ethan: (chuckles) The chub crease. Well, I couldn't have said that myself any better!

Ken: This is the original Ken Bone, my grandfather

Ethan: It's so white, I almost can't even see it!

Ethan:  So the whole thing was- the whole setup of the debate was actually interesting to me

It looked like there was maybe 20, 40 people in the room

Ken: Well they don't ask you anything about your questions. Once one you tell them (Ethan: No!) you're an undecided voter,

That's it! They say okay come up with 2 questions and we'll see you next Sunday.

Ethan: But you had to tell them your questions ahead of time.

You could've have been like "Trump, can-can you please tell me what-what tanner do you use,

and why do you avoid the space around your eyes?"

Ken: The only people we told the question ahead of time were Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddis, the moderators.

Ethan: That's incredible! That is an incredible insight!

And it was live, so you actually–once you got the mic, you could have been like "Trump, can you please explain why your hands are so small."

Ken: Yea, I could have said anything I wanted

I mean, anything too bad and I guess the secret service guys who were hidden amongst us would have tazed me or something.

Ethan: (chuckles) Just a straight up taze? Ken: Yea!

Ethan: Just as punishment, they're like "Look you already asked the question, but you're gonna get tazed."

Ken: Yea it's live TV, and it only has like a 10 second dump.

Ethan: That's amazing! They had tremendous faith in all the question askers.

Ken: It was well warranted for the most of us.

Ethan: Did you ever consider pullin' a little...

Ken: I've thought about it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't–didn't think about it

But it's the chance of a lifetime to ask a question to

the next president. Ethan: Yea, absolutely.

Ethan: How quickly after you got home, after that debate, did you realize that you had become a living meme?

Ken: I got back out to my car, and my phone was locked up.

I turn on my phone, and I had already missed like a thousand messages.

My voice mailbox was full, and I didn't listen to that for days.

My friend called me on my phone just as it was powering up
