Get Comedy Bang Bang Bang, Comedy Bang, Comedy Bang, Comedy Bang, Comedy Bang, Comedy Bang, Comedy, Bang, Comedy, Bang, Comedy. Get rich or die trying, or try tie-dying. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Liza Manjelly for that catchphrase submission submitted on January 6th. What year? 2023. Okay, we're all right. What if they've been doing since then?

Yeah, I know. Almost three years since that cashphrase was submitted. But hopefully, Liza Manjelli, you're still alive and still a listener. And thank you so much for listening to that or even submitting it, which is a little more accurate as to what you did. But if you did just hear it, you did just listen to it. I wasn't wrong. Hi, welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. My name is Scott Ackerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have a fantastic show. Coming up a little later, we have a hobbyist. I wonder what their hobby is. That's very exciting. We also have an entrepreneur is going to be here.

Of course, we're having entrepreneurs back on the show. We said they couldn't be on the show anymore because everyone was an entrepreneur. And so we just had small business owners, but we've welcomed entrepreneurs back into the fold. So we're going to have an entrepreneur coming But before we get to them, we have a film director of note. I'm an entrepreneur as well, in a way. You are, well, I bet you have an LLC or a... Only for tax purposes. He is joining the illustrious seven-timers club.

Oh, my God. Here on Comedy Bang Bang. This will be his seventh appearance on Comedy Bang. He has a new movie coming out called The Running Man. It's not that difficult a tale How do you mess up the word man I'm a terrible host The Running Mon

The Running Mon I'm Jamaican I'm not going there Of course not His new movie The Running Man Comes out this Friday Please welcome back to the show Edgar Wright

Thank you very much Thanks for having me Seventh and last time What? Just because I messed up the word man Yes Paramount of all already been on the phone.

Now, this is interesting. You have directed, I'm going to say, in terms of major films, I'm not going to count a fistful of fingers. We talked about this on a previous episode. I'm not counting that one. Okay. But you've directed eight films. Yes.

And you've only made seven appearances on this show. Oh, I know. What's going on? I didn't, I guess I didn't come for, I didn't come for Sean or Hot Fuzz. Here's, here's what you came. The first time I came was with Joe Cornish to promote attack. the block, of course. Where Joe got in a huff.

Maybe. We don't talk about that. Then you came for the World's End. Yes. With John Connery and Michael Kane. That's right. And then you came for Baby Driver. Yes.

And John Hamm was here too. Mm-hmm. And then you came for the Sparks Brothers. And Ron and Russell were here too. Uh-huh. And then just a few short months later, you came back for last night in Soho. With nobody. Nobody was here.

Johnny, no friends. Mm-hmm. And then, most recently, you came for the Scott Pilgrim animated show. I had forgotten. about that that's right that was just a short two years ago yeah just two years ago you're a great friend of the show thank you thanks for having me and i love that you make time for it uh in your busy press schedule yes it's wonderful to have you here now the running man is your new movie i saw this film i'm suspense every time the word man comes out of your mouth now

how is it gonna how is it gonna how many more times do you think i'm gonna mess it up I just want to do it slightly differently. Now the running mound. I saw this film the other night. This is a fantastic film. Glenn Powell is the lead. Of course, he rocketed to stardom and things like Top Gun, Maverick.

You said that like it was two different films. Top Gun, Marvary. Maverick, I think, was with Mel Gibson and Jury Foster. Oh, that's true. Although that's a great crossover. The Top Gun universe and Maverick universe? Yes. You know, we could find out that Mel Gibson is actually Tom Cruise's great, great

grandfather or something like that. Maybe not. No, no follow-up. There was a bad yes-and. And, of course, his film, anyone but you, anything but you? What was it? You don't write the first time, but you. You pretended like you didn't know the title.

Like you haven't watched it as if you pretended like you've watched it as if you pretended like Hey, I've watched one scene a million times. Oh, my gosh. It killed you. Oh, my gosh. But Glenn Powell is in this film. He's great in it. And this is based on the Stephen King.

It's a novella. Is it not? I guess so. That just means, what, a short novel? I guess so, yeah. How short are we talking when you talk a novella? Do you think 250 pages? I think so.

I think you're right. Anything under 300? I think so. I think it probably is about 200 pages. It's just to be lean and mean. That's right. And now, of course, there was a feature film based on this that came out in 88-ish, 87. Oh, so close, 87.

87. With Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular running man. He put the tit in titular. And it was very different than the Stephen King book, was it not? Yes. And this one is a little more close to the plot of the originally. It's been so long since I've read the novella. Yes.

Well, Stephen King wrote under a pseudonym Richard Bachman. Who, of course, wrote thinner. Thinner was the one that got him rumbled. That's where the pseudonym, like, wrote down. Fell apart, yeah. These were books that he wrote back in the early 70s. Yes. Why did he write them under a pseudonym?

Was he so famous at the time that? I think there was two things. One, he wanted to put out more than one book a year. And his publisher was against the idea, so he created the pseudonym. This is the artist formerly known. It is. It's like the end of the 80s where it's like I've got a seven album deal with Warner Bros. Can you imagine? Let's just burn through them all in one year. Can you imagine doing so much cocaine that you can write even more than one book a year? Like I can't even imagine

writing one book a year. I think also the other thing was that the Backman books were not strictly horror. So he wanted to kind of see whether like he still had success outside the horror market. Because the other ones where we have the long walk, which turned into a movie earlier this year, which I just saw. It was very good. Yeah. And then... Roadwork? Oh, yeah, road work. Rage. Rage. And then thinner.

Yeah. So this Richard... And then he wrote some other stuff back in the 90s when everyone knew who he was. Yeah, there were other... Yes, there were other Richard Bachman books. Yes. But this guy, Richard Bachman, great writer. And he wrote The Running Man. And explain the premise of this film, if you don't mind. Ben Richards is an out-of-work dad. How important is it that his name is Ben Richards? I've never had to answer that question on the press tour yet.

It isn't part of my talking points, Scott. I can tell you, on the Wikipedia page, there's a section that says premise, and it has a quote from Paramount Pictures. What does it say? Tell me. In a near future society, the running man is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants, known as runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public, and each day bringing a greater cash reward. And there's like three other sentences. Rated R. Yeah. And it is a rated R, which is so nice to see. Oh, I like that. Oh, yeah. You used to get a rated R sci-fi action film every day in the 80s, right?

Every single day of the year. In the best way, this really reminds me of an 80s or 90s action film. I take that as a compliment. I think I mentioned to you when I saw it that it really reminds me of like Robocop or Starship Troopers, the kind of like satire in it, while also just being like a really kick-ass action. You're missing out the one with Schwarzenegger in a Total Recall. Total Recall, exactly, yeah.

It does remind me of that. No, I mean, I had read the book when I was a teenager, and I'd actually read it before I saw the 1987 film. So I was well aware when I was watching the Schwarzenegger version, I really stumbled over his surname there, that they hadn't really adapted the book at all. It was very loose adaptation. I always, like, felt that there was another movie in that book, and I'd always thought about doing it, and it even looked into the rights years and years ago.

So it's like, and also, you know that the book is set in 2025. That's right. You mentioned this when I saw the film. What was the tagline on the book? The 1982 first edition paperback of it said, welcome to the year 2025, where the best men don't run for president. They run for their lives. The running man, Richard Beckman. That's genuinely the log line. That's very much the log line. That is the exact log line of the book. Wow.

So I agree with you. When I saw the original Running Man, I was a little like, oh, this isn't like the book that I like so much. So it was great to see something that Hughes a little closer to what the intent of the book was. And it's just like it's a super fun action movie. Glenn Powell is a huge star. He takes his shirt off, ladies, and gentlemen. and he's out there running around you have a character doing the dance the running man which is the kind of attention to detail that we expect from Edgar Wright

I actually did that as a this is Colin Hanks in a slightly kind of when it was announced on deadline that I was doing it he texted me is he a friend of the show he's a friend of the show yes of course yeah he texted director of the John Candy documentary out now I haven't seen that yet. Is it called I Want Candy? It should be. It's called I Like Me.

Oh, I like me. I like me. I was so close. Yeah. I want the I'm right. I Want Candy's not a bad name for that documentary. It should be called You Want Candy. That's right. Yeah.

And Bow Wow, Wow should get back together and have a big part of it. But unfortunately, none of that came to pass. But he's a friend of the show. What did he reach out to you to say? He texted me when it was announced on deadline that I might be doing it. And he said, congratulations. He goes, is this going to be in it? me like a little gif of somebody doing the running man. So I thought, I'll show you, Colin,

Hank. I'll fucking put the running man in there. And then he'll be laughing. So he hasn't seen it yet. And does Deadline put out articles about when people might do something? Yes, every day. I think probably the hit rate of like articles to finish movies, 99 to 1. Yeah. And this was one where you just kind of shot, didn't you shoot your shot where you're just like, hey, I'd like to do The Running Man? And then it all kind of came together. It's one of those questions that comes up, you know, on websites or like, if you could remake any film, what would you remake? So I answered The Running Man. But I don't think it's like a strict, I would say it's a new adaptation of the source material, not like a strict remake. Yes. And Glenn Powell is in this.

He's really good. You said his name like four times. It's like you're in love with him. He's one of our great movie stars. He is. He's amazing in the movie. And then, of course, who else is in the film? Coleman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Amelia Jones, Michael Sarah, friend of the show. Friend of the show, of course. Who else? Jamie Lawson, Daniel Ezra. Katie O'Brien. Do you know her from The Amazing Actress from Love Lies Bleeding?

Martin Hurley, isn't it? Is he a friend of the show? No, he's not. I'd love for him to be. He should be. He's very funny. Yeah, introduce us. I will. We also have William H. Macy, who of course played Dr. David Morgan Stern on ER for 31 episodes. And he has to resign in disgrace in his final episode because he makes a mistake in the operating room and then blames it on one of his underlings. And then he watches the tape and realizes that he doesn't have his fastball anymore.

And so he resigns from the ER. What do you think about a story Latin like that? Was I supposed to watch this episode before before this? Well, I mean, if you're like me, you watched all 15 seasons in the last two months.

Have you been doing that for real? I did. On my other show, wait, wait, have I missed this? A huge plot point. Yes. Do you really do an E.I.

Watchback show? I did, yeah. Oh, no, no. It was on my movie show. But, yes, I watched all 15 seasons of ER in the last couple of months and then did a wrap about it. Could you now rank the seasons in chronological order?

Yeah, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. What about in reverse chronological order? This is tougher, but 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 21. And now just the odd numbers? 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, probably. And now the even numbers. Hmm, 24, 6, 8. Who do we appreciate?

10, 12, 14. How about the prime numbers? Three, five, seven, nine. I got them all wrong. Oh, it was got... Not all of them, but... I really enjoyed that. But did you mention...

What does ER stand for? You know, they never talk about that. I watched the whole thing going like, this is probably someone's initials, like, but none of the characters. I mean, you have Dr. Green, so there's an R in his last name, and an E, but then there's 2E, so I was sort of like, maybe they're talking about this guy. Like, green backwards is like N-E-R-G, like energy.

I don't know. Anyway, the running man. I'm doing a great job of selling my movie. Do we talk about Amelia Jones? Yeah, we did talk about Amelia Jones. About from Task recently in Coda. And Coda. Yeah, so great in it.

And Lee Pace, of course, who did the one episode of Late Night with Seth Myers that I did. He was the A guest. I believe I was in C Block. In C Block. He said he was very nervous backstage. What do you think about that? Why was he with, oh, this was recently, right? Oh, no.

I don't think I've been invited to be on a talk show recently. This is when I had a TV show. How was C Block? C Block was great. You can find my, unless they've taken it down off YouTube, you can find my interview out there on YouTube, I'm sure. It was a lot of fun. I love Seth.

And are you doing any of the talk shows for this? I'm doing Seth Myers. When are you doing it? In a couple of weeks. Oh, that's fantastic. I'm not sure what block I'm in, maybe B Block. Remind him of the time that Lee Pace and I were on the exact same episode. See if he remembers.

That'll be my opening story. I'll do the pre-interview and saying, Hey, I've got 10 minutes on Scott Ockerman and Lee Pace. We have, of course, David Zias is in it. David Zias, isn't it? Sean Hayes. Sean Hayes is in it? One of the smartless gentlemen.

Yes. Did it were, this was shot in like, wasn't it shot in some far off country? Not that part. Not that part. We shot in London mostly, and then we shot a bit in Scotland. Oh. And then we shot the last maybe month in Bulgaria. Bulgaria. How was that?

It was nice. Have you ever been? I never been. Sophia. What's that mean? That's the capital of Bulgaria. Oh, okay. Sophia, Bulgaria. Or actually, Sofia.

Sophia. Oh, wow. Have you ever shot a movie in Bulgaria? No. Wow. Fun. No, it was nice. I mean, it was we had access to lots of freeways, which, I mean, difficult to shut down freeways, but there were lots of what we, I would guess, like, ghost freeways that were not connected to other roads. Or I don't think they'd been opened at all. They'd built the freeway and never connected it to anything else. So you had miles and miles of freeway.

If you're going to build a freeway, anyone listening out there, you've got to connect it to something else. Otherwise, no one's ever going to drive on it. That's so fun. And did you think, like, oh, I'm making this movie called The Running Mown. And he's got to be running during. Did you think there was enough running? You know, okay, so Tom Cruise, he does that really fun running. Yeah.

You know, in the Mission Impossible movies. Glenn Powell just kind of runs like a normal human being, so I was a little disappointed in that. But then I thought that 99% of the movie he'd be running, or at least running in place. I know, like, when he's in a hotel room, hiding out, I'd just expected him to be jogging in place or something. Like, you know, did you ever think about anything like that? We're just having him on the treadmill in every scene. Yeah. I mean, it's not too late to go back and, I mean, technically it's locked. Just CGI his legs just kind of pumping up and down. I mean, it comes out in two weeks. I guess

I got time. Comes out this Friday, my friend. Oh, okay, comes out this Friday. I'm in the future now. Well, technically, I've got enough time to go and change all of that. I think you do. I think the fans expect it. Um, was it fun working on this? Is, I mean, this is, uh, it's big blockbuster entertainment. This is the kind of thing that I think deserves to be seen in a movie theater. This is the kind of thing you bring your buddies to and everyone's going, yeah. You know, it's like, it's not one of your English films which are, you know,

rye and has a particular sense of dry humor to them. You're saying it's not the exotic marigote hotel. That's what you're saying. I think that's what I'm sort of trying to hint at, yes. It's not how It's not Howard's end-ish. It's not how it's end. No, it's just big blockbuster entertainment.

Is it fun to do a movie like that? Oh, yes. I mean, it's exhausting doing a movie like that. I mean, it was shot over like 165 locations. Whoa. Where I know. Even, even just the thought of it gives me a little shiver. Because it's like 165 minutes probably. No, it's 133. So that's more locations than minutes in your film? How does that even work? Does it, do people go like, well, okay, we're here right now. Oh. Now we're over here. Those are the running bits. Yeah, that's true.

He runs fast. He can basically, Glenn Powell can run three locations in under a minute. Whoa, that's fast. Did you ever say like, hey man, if you're going to do this movie with me, I need you to at least run like one marathon a month before we shoot or anything like that. Did he train at all? He did. Well, he did train. Yeah, he's in.

I kind of thought it was so, like, exhausting to make a lot of, like, a stress thing for me. that he got into the best shape of his life, and I got into my worst. You switched shapes. Yes, it was like Freaky Friday. Luckily, I wasn't on camera. Yeah. Did you ever think about making this movie

but with you as the Northern Man? Again, I guess there's like seven days until it comes out. It's not impossible. CGI your head on Glenn Pell's body. And then everyone's like, whoa, Edgar's got an incredible body. And then CGI the legs going up and down. Do you want to CGI Glenn's head onto my body?

do you think he what would happen if you sent him just a text right now of your head on his body and his head on your body and just say what do you think how would he reply

do you think I don't know I don't know but we can find out all right well the running man is out this Friday it's a good good time in the theater

I think it's gonna be a huge hit what are we thinking in terms of what in terms of yeah you want to predict no I really do not I don't I like no I do not you do not okay but this is going to be the biggest hit of your career is one thing that I would think I hope so if you are you saying that on the show that's my prediction yeah this is the biggest hit of your career and not just due to inflation I think even in adjusted dollars it'll be the biggest hit of your career well let's hope so I hope so you want to go up up up up up right yes I don't want to like go up up up up down down I don't still come back and do this show for god's sense i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm kidding i love this show all right well we're going to take a break edgar if that's okay we have a we have a hobbyist here we have a uh entrepreneur this is a good show another entrepreneur yes that's right yes um what other businesses do you have by the way other than just being a film director you you have like uh some stands or some stands in some in malls don't you run a sunglass hut out there in like brighton

or something like that no you don't Okay, that's a weird piece of trivia that I'd read about you. Is that a real thing you read? Sure, yeah. No, I don't have any other, I don't have any brands, no. Yeah, you got to get into, like, athleisure wear or something. Oh, God, no, please know what I mean? I guess I'd rather, what would I like to have as my brand?

Yeah, well, you love music. Coffee, you love coffee and music. What about a coffee cup-shaped MP3 player? Yeah, with your face on it. What was the name of Neil Young's kind of... The Pono? The bono. That was a Toblerone-shaped music player.

Oh, I like the idea of a Toblerone that plays music. Yes, so do I, that you could eat. You could eat. And then it plays music in your stomach. Yes. This is a good idea. I'm down with this. Okay, this is your idea.

Yeah. We're going to be right back with more Edgar Wright. The Running Mone Moon out this Friday. We're going to come back with a hobbyist. We're going to come back with an entrepreneur. We'll be right back with more comedy. Bang Bang, Bang. After this.

Yeah. Comedy Bang Bang. We're back. Edgar Wright is here. The Running Man out this Friday. And now with my head on Glenn's body. Yes. And CGIed legs that are running in the entire. You can, you don't have to CGI. If that's too big of a budget, you could just put cartoon legs. Oh, yeah. I like that. Yep. And do you know what other movies are coming up? Like a Speedy Gonzales, like just the Whirl? We don't talk about him anymore. Okay. Yeah. He's been canceled. It's he been canceled. I believe so. What other cartoon characters have been cancelled? I suspect at some point we're going to get around to the Tasmanian devil. The people of Tasmania are not going to appreciate it, but at this point, Taz is still safe. I mean, this cancer culture mean he's now called Scooby Don't.

That's such a good joke, Edgar. We need to put that in your next movie, whatever it is. Do you know your next movie? Is Scooby Don't? Scooby Don't is your next movie? That's my next movie. This is incredible. You had a head first.

The Running Man out this Friday, we need to get to our next guest. She's an entrepreneur, and she runs the W. Hotel here in Los Angeles, as well as various other businesses. That's the one that had the escort staying, right? Actually, it is, yes. We'll talk to her about that. Please welcome back to the show, Bean Dip. Hi, Scott. How are you doing, man? Hey, I'm doing good.

This is Edgar right? Yeah, I know. Hey, don't talk to me like I don't know what the deal is. Oh, and Scooby don't. Maybe when you direct it, it'll be directed by Edgar wrong. Oh. Hilarious. Yeah, good one, Scott.

Like, you need to tell him my ideas. He's got to put any of ideas without you telling him. I'm sorry, Edgar. I don't mean to pitch my own ideas on top of your ideas. Now, Bean Dip, you run the W hotel out here. Yeah, the one in Hollywood run no other W hotels. That's right. It's been carved out.

Yeah, that's the one I own. People don't know this, but at W hotels are like franchise. Mm-hmm. Every W. Hotel that you ever go to, someone kind of runs it. Somebody different. Yeah, someone different. That would be weird if one guy ran all of them and he had to go to each single one every day.

Yeah, talk about all the minutes of a day, man. Talk about 165 locations. Yeah. What does the W stand for? The W stands for worthwhile. Because if you go there, you're going to have a great time. And you're going to be like, huh, I spend my whole day in by the pool, get a massage, have a delicious wheel.

This was worthwhile. They should advertise that more that it stands for worthwhile. No one knows that. Nobody knows that. Everybody thinks that there has to do with something else, like, God willing. Is worthwhile two Ws? No, many people put a dash in it, but that's not the correct. It's a compound word, is it not?

Yeah, it's a compound word. A lot of people put a dash, guess what they're wrong. They are wrong, yeah. It's not the W-Dash-W hotel. No, it's just a W. Because also it was a worthwhile, and it was two Ws, you had W with a little T up on the right-hand corner. It's like squared.

Yep. W-to-the-W-th power. W-to-the-W-th power. Do you think that anyone confuses the hotel with George W. Bush, because he was known as W. Is there any kind of brand confusion? Scott, let me tell you this much It happens every single day

Of every single week For all year long, through Hustis and 5 So people come into the hotel Expecting a George W. Bush themed hotel Well, no, they're trying to get a meeting with him So usually they come out They're like, I would love a room

Also put me on the books to meet with George Wuby Bush And we've got to have all our people At the front desk train to say, He don't work here! So there's no connection to him No connection. But his artwork is up everywhere at the hotel.

His artworks everywhere in the hotel, all the bedrooms. Yeah, we've started a special thing. When would you pull the out of covers on your bed? There's a life-size person of George W. Bush. A life-size person? So, a real human being? A real human being. But sleeping in a George W. Bush costume.

This is for Halloween only. Okay. So that's coming up in another 11 months. Yeah, that's going to be for next year. Okay, but what is a George W. Bush costume, like a suit? Great question. Well, we've decided to go, George W. Bush, casual. So we go for shorts, jean shorts.

Jean shorts with socks. You know, like, the socks that used to wear back in the older days for people to roller skate with stripes on them? Oh, yeah, of course, yeah. Sox like that, but with boots. And a tank top. And a tank top, okay. Great, all right. Well, this is great.

First, when you look at it, you go, hey, that's just a greater person in my bed. And then you go, oh, let me look again. That's George Bush, and he's casual. Does he stick around the entire stay, or does he leave after a couple of minutes? It depends on how you're feeling. If you would like to have a conversation with somebody who seems like George Debbie Bush, he'll stay for about 15, 16, 17 to 18 minutes. Oh, okay.

But if you're like, hey, I don't like this feeling. Get somebody out of here. He'll get it. And are you allowed to do anything you want to him? Yeah, you can figure him. You could cut his hair if you want. Cut his hair? You could boss him.

You could boss him around, make him do chores. But only for 18 minutes or so. It's 50, 66, 17, 18 minutes. Something like that. Is his middle name worthwhile? Well, people think that a lot, and people get very confused on that because it is a two-syllable W, but it's not worthwhile. It's worthwhile.

Worth Wall is his middle name I didn't know that Things like this aren't written about In the history books You know And I mean Edgar you're an English man So you don't know that much about our presidencies Or we don't have a queen at the top

Or a king I guess now is what you have We have a president No kings No kings Yeah exactly yeah You could test me on presidents if you want Okay Name two

Richard Nixon Okay That's just one He's doing great You can't say Richard and Nixon, because that's one guy. I want to say Ronald Reagan. Hey. Pretty great.

Not bad. I'm good at this. Not bad. Okay, test me on Kings. Name some kings. Some? It's too open-ended. George.

Ralph? Ralph. Yeah. Yeah. Syndicate. Stephen? Stephen. So that, of course.

Bean Dip is what you do on the day to day. But what are you up to lately? Anytime you come by the show, you have some interesting new business ventures. You're an entrepreneur. What is going on in Bean Dips world these days? Well, lately I started to redo businesses. I don't know exactly what that means. Like rehab them or? Well, I started three new businesses. Oh, you started. Oh, I thought you said I started to. No, I didn't know. I'm trying to rehab my businesses because my businesses that I already have are crushing. So I still have. The stands where you get a, like a vegetable, carrot, a squash or whatever, put in a bun. In a hot dog bun. The W's gone great. But I also started to think. Three new businesses. Yeah, three new businesses. Okay.

What are we going on? One is, okay, let me ask you this. Have you seen the thing lately when you're looking on Instagram or when you go out into the world where you say, hey, what's going on? Everybody's paying extra attention to their eyebrows. I have the eyebrows seem busier these days Edgar have you noticed this no but tell me more they seem more full but also they seem to have like skin lines in between each one does that make sense well you have seen some bad ones because if you everybody wants bushy eyebrows now but

when you start to brush them up then do you have skin lines my new product is a salve that you put on your eyebrows and it makes no skin lines it's called uniform brow Uniform brow Yeah, that's right Hmm, okay And I sell it all over Los Angeles In a truck

Okay, so you're out there In these streets No website I'm out there in these streets This is just a real grassroots operation Grassroots I've hired a few The van drivers

Everybody goes around Selling the South So how many How many vans are out there Selling this eyebrows So I don't know Currently today Oh

22 vans today in Los Angeles. Okay. I don't know, I don't know that I would buy anything to put on my eyebrows Okay, well, you could go fuck yourself.

Oh. Because, Scott, you could use this product. I get, is there an issue with my eyebrows that you're looking at? There's no issue per se

with your eyebrows, but if you're trying to get laid, you're going to get this. I am trying to get laid, Edgar. Are you trying to get laid these days?

I'm trying to go, I'm trying to fuck myself. Or at least finger George Bush. Yeah, that's right. Well, okay, so how much does it retail for? What's MSRP? A tube will cost you only $16.99.

$16.99? For a life change. It's not a bad price. When you say uniform brow, not like a monobrow, not like one eyebrow. No way. Nobody wants that unless you got from Caveman time. Everybody wants that space in the middle, but for no skin lines in the brow itself. You know, everyone, usually it's two.

Right? And then a lot of people just have the one because they connect in the middle. Yeah, gross. Why not three? Like, if you had a unibrow that connected in the middle, why not shave, like, in the middle of each one so that you have three? Oh, yeah.

And then it looks like your nose is surprised every once in a while. You know what? This is a good idea, Scott. Thank you. I'm an idea person. I can't, I'm unlike you, I can't put these ideas into action. You know, I came up with the great idea of Edgar changing his name to Edgar wrong for the Scooby. don't movie but I have no power you know like I don't have the power to do these kinds of

things you do that's what I love about you you you are not only an idea person but you put those ideas into the streets and that's what I love also into envelopes lately my second business is contacts that you can put onto your eyes that makes it looks like you don't have an eye contact you put onto your eye that makes it look like you don't have an eye so it's just They're white, and so it just looks... Well, you can choose either all white or all black-like space. The black is called space on ours. So the black one covers your entire eye, even the whites of your eyes, I guess?

And you put it all like a contact. Okay. So it covers the whites of your eyes. The white one covers all... I mean, you have a color of eyes. Like, if you have a people... I think everyone does. Oh.

Well, both cover it. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. And why would anyone want this? Well, because if you want that and you want to go like, hey, I'm going to, I won't feel like doing some bad stuff today. I don't want to look like myself. I don't want to be able to be identified. Then you can send up to us and we send you them an envelope.

I mean, I guess this is a good idea. It would kind of help you evade facial recognition scanners maybe. Exactly. You know Robert Durs, the killer from the James? the original jinx I killed them all didn't he wear contacts to make his pupils look bigger

this is true was that part of the the jinx mini series I never saw yes he ordered these contacts they think from Asia that make your pupils look bigger to make you seem more innocent

and when you see him in the documentary I'm not kidding he's blinking like very slowly because he's obviously wearing these massive contacts I'm not even kidding wow okay do you remember that I don't remember

But I remember that when he was on trial in the Jake's Part 2, he tried to pretend that he was very sick. So I believe that he would do anything to his eyes to make himself look like an innocent baby. He was wearing the white contacts that day. He should have had all white. Do you think that you're, who's the target market for this? Do you think it's going to be like essentially murderers and people trying to commit crimes? It could be murderers, crimes, also shoplifters, people who like to donate. dash but also it's going to be a great market for teen girls why teen girls just for having fun for

having fun let's go hey let's go put on our space eyes and let's run around i think it would be very disconcerting like someone comes up to you their their eyelids are shut they open their eyes they have no eyeballs yeah you're going to get scared you're going to give them whatever they need you're going to let them have free reign mm-hmm all your schemes are 11 months away from Halloween. That's right. You got to start planning early. You got to start planning early. We are on back order. Yeah. Well, you have, uh, is there an envelope shortage or anything going on? Well, that's part of the hook is there's no envelope shortage, but people love getting mail. And we don't let you order it to come in a box. We don't let you order it to get picked up.

We're not going to deliver it to you in a van. It will come to you in an envelope. And we have gotten such good feedback on that? What kind of feedback do you get? Okay, let me read to you some of the reviews. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at all these reviews you have. Wow. Five stars. When I got my space contacts in the mail, I ripped open that envelope and I almost started crying because I was so happy to be ripping paper.

Four-star review. The only reason I'm not giving this result for five stars is because my envelope could have been bigger. I wouldn't have liked to open an envelope for a lot longer. I miss all fees. Wow. Should I keep going? No, I don't think so.

I mean, I think that says it all. People love it. Do they like the context themselves? Because a lot of the reviews don't seem to be talking about those. Five-star review. Hi. I live in Wisconsin. I don't think you need to say hi.

I'm reading. Okay, I'm just saying to this person or anyone out there writing a review, don't start with hide. Five-star review. Hi. I'm from Wisconsin. I'm a woman who lives in her house with her elderly husband. We are both elderly. We are 82 years old.

I mean to call him elderly and then reveal I'm also an elderly. It's like, come on. 82 years old. We have ordered the white, all white contacts, and we are deciding to weather around the house. But two things. One, we can't believe how beautiful we both feel. The second part is we were so happy to get that envelope. We've been using the envelope that our contacts came in to put under our plates when they're too hot, and we don't want to mark our coffee table.

They should probably just invest in some placements. But, I mean, these are great reviews. And this is only your second of three businesses. That's right. Wow. Okay. So what is the third business? The third businesses are banned and it's music.

Okay. You're in a band You know, Edgar's a huge music fan Oh, believe me, I know Okay What type of band are you in? Well, it's sort of like Have you ever heard of the talking hands?

I think I might have heard a song or two by then. Well, it's as good as that. It's as good as that. You ask me what kind of band it is? It's as good as the talking about. What's the name of the band? It's called Windows. Windows.

It's sort of like the, operating system on a computer? Well, it's sort of like windows at a house. Oh, okay, like those windows. And what genre of music, to use a French term? Rock a ball hoochie-coo. Okay. So a rock band that's just as good as the talking heads called Windows.

Who's in this band with you? Me. Bobby Carnivali. What? From Only Murders in the building? Yeah, Bobby Conorolley from Alley Murders in the building. Did you talk about was that a fun set? Oh, what a blast.

We laughed all the time. That's a quote from him. Yeah, that's a quote from him. Also, second Bobby Carter, I would like, quote, man, we would get to set on only murders in the building, and the snacks were delicious and everyone was nice. Oh, I bet the snack budget on it. How was the snack budget on running that, by the way?

I'm not sure what the actual, as a line item, what the actual price. Yeah. Can you get me those figures? Yeah, yeah. And we'll put it on, we'll tag it on at the end of this episode. I just got like a breaking news from Deadline that Edgar Rong is directing Scooby-Dow. Whoa!

God! He beat me to it. Yeah, too bad. Scott, just real quick, earlier when you were talking about Eggers movie, I just have one question, because when you so clearly said it's called Running Mom, is it about like, she's like, her kids are dropping her crazy,

and she's got to get the groceries, also get them to do their homework. Yeah, she's running errands, yeah. Got it. That's what it's about, the running mom. Cute. It's a cute movie, yeah. That sounds adorable.

Do you mind singing one of your songs? Oh, sure. This is a song from the windows. Oh, it's the windows, okay. Yeah, it's the windows. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hi, hey, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, and then we loop that. Okay, so that's going through the whole thing. Okay, so do you want me to maybe do that behind whatever you were going to do?

Scott. Hey, hi, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody, I found something today on the street, and it is a basket. Hey, everybody, I found something today on the street. It is a basket full of love A basket full of love Spread it to your neighbors Basketful of love Spread it to your friends

Basketful of love Come on over to my house Everybody be peaceful in the world Obviously it goes on longer So why don't we hear more of it? Oh, sir Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Well, just the other day, I started dreaming, I had never dreamed before. Josie all the day, I started feeling I had never felt before. That's because of a basket, the basket full of love. The basket, basket, basket. The basket full of love. Spread it to your friends. Spread it to your mama. Spread it to your everybody, you know.

All our songs are viable and peace for the world. That's incredible. I mean, what a wonderful message, especially coming here into the holiday season. Get Full of Love. Thanks, Scott. Wow. Yeah.

So, um, you and Bobby Connaval. Yeah, me, Bobby Carnivali. Who, who writes the lyrics? Mostly Bobby does. Oh, yeah, that sounded like something Bobby would say. That's so Carnivali. Yeah. Sean Pan.

Sean Pan. Oh, okay. Uh-huh. Wow, he's in, of course, uh, one battle after another. Uh-huh. Jeff Tweety. Jeff Tweety. Okay, then you have some real musical muscle in this band.

Oh, we're a big time. And who sings? You're the lead singer I would imagine? I usually sing lead unless David Byrne was too. Oh, so David Byrne is in this as well? Yeah, he's in with the windows. Oh, uh-huh. Sounds like a super group.

But he's always, when he comes to rehearsal, he's always like, this is so much better than the talking is. Yeah. Sounds like something he'd take. Well, these are three great businesses being dipped. Thanks, Scott. You got a lot going on. Thanks, dude.

Yeah. Hey, man, I'm ready to keep all going. You're ready to keep going with what? Just with everything going great in life. Yeah, how much money do you make this year? Boy, don't even start with me. I want to ask you that, too, Edgar. Okay.

Have you ever heard of one and have you ever heard of four? And then have you ever heard of a million after it? Whoa, 14 million just this year alone? Yeah, that's right. Put it on a sandwich and eat it, bitch. Damn. How much you get paid to make a movie like The Running Man? It's got to be like up there in the seven figures.

doesn't it? Yeah. Like high seven figure? It's not eight, is it? Is it nine figures? Scott, yes, that's right. Are you getting $100 million to... You're getting ten figures?

Even up 11 figures? You're still waving me up. I don't even think you know how much money... No, this isn't pounds. Oh, okay, right. Or euros. What do you guys do out there these days? Pounds.

You're back to pounds? Yeah. Yeah. What do you prefer, the euro or the pound? I mean, I never used a euro, I don't think, ever. You never used a euro? Well, you know, the UK didn't really buy into the euros. Yeah, no one liked them, right?

Well, you know, we're just isolationists, I guess. Yeah. We left Europe, remember? Well, you're a big Brexit guy. You were telling me before the show, but I'm real pro-Brexit. But mainly because you thought it was breakfast for a long time and the most important meal of the day. Look, we have to take a break. Bean dip, this is fantastic stuff.

Can you stick around because we have a hobbyist coming up on the show? Oh, a hobbyist. I want a lot to hang out, Scott. Okay, great. Well, we're going to come right back. We have more with Bean Dib, more with Edgar Wright. Also, a hobbyist coming up. We're going to be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this.

Comedy Bang, bang, bang. We're back. Edgar Wright is here. The running mom comes out this Friday all about a woman running errands. What kind of errands are, like, grocery shopping, I'm sure? What else? like taking their kids to the shoe store or what else?

Getting her eyebrows done. Oh, eyebrows done. Oh, okay. She could use some of this. Some of the South. Yeah, exactly. Also, Bean Dip is here. Or ordering some envelopes from Amazon.

Yes. Thank you, Edgar. BeanDip, by the way, brought us some envelopes during the break, and they are fun to open. Yeah. Satisfying. Yeah, very satisfying. Well, speaking of satisfying, let's get to our next guest.

He is a hobbyist. Please welcome to the show for the first time. Red Velvet. Hi, Scott. Thanks for having me. My pleasure to have you. Welcome, Red Velvet. This is Bean Dipp. This is Edgar. Hello. Hi. Hi. My name's Red Velvet. I work at a hobby shop. Oh. And yes, I am the town flirt. Okay. Great. I mean, I don't know how much we'll be talking about that last part because you're booked on the show as a hobbyist.

I'd love to... That's my job. I work at a hobby shop. Love to hear all about that. And I'm always flirting with the customers. Okay. I don't know how much we need to really discuss all that. But tell us about what hobby shop do you work at?

Anchorage Hobbies. Anchorage, and this is in Alaska? Where I was born and raised. Not a lot of people out there to flirt with, I would imagine. Oh, you'd be surprised. What kind of numbers are we talking? Let's see if I actually would be surprised. How many people?

are living there or how many people I flirt with. It's the same number, right? If they call me in the shop, it sure is. So how long have you worked at Anchorage Hobbies? 30 years. 30 years. Wow. How did you get interested in this? I just always loved coming up with my own hobbies. I love... You mean you invented hobbies?

Mm-hmm. So it's a hobby store where you've invented all the hobbies. Well, we sell normal, how you exacto knives and sprue cutters and... Don't forget Gundam models. Oh, wow. But I like to invent my own hobbies. What are some of the hobbies you've invented? I make my own homemade D-box chairs.

Oh, my film's coming out in D-Bowx. Oh, I can't wait to hook it up to my chair. Oh, I'd like to, yeah. D-Box, of course, are the rumbling chairs that kind of move around. Oh, and if you make them at home, you're not restricted to any sort of oversight from the government. So it rumbles even harder? Rumbles more. Shakes water has missed since.

This is 4D stuff. Do you sit in the chair yourself or do you invite people over and you rumble the chair? Yeah. Are you just shaking the rumbler? Are you the rumbler or rumbly? Well, I'm the rumbly when it's in effect when I got it hooked up to the TV. But I will invite some of my flirting participants over. Oh, hello.

You know me. I love to flirt. I don't know you. I'm taking this on face. What are some of your flirt lines? Oh, I'm glad you ask. I have lots of flirt. The number one thing, this is the first thing you should always say when you're trying to flirt.

I love your floppy brown hat. Oh. Okay. Interesting. Does that happen a lot? I guess in Alaska, you have to wear a hat? Not really. so what if they're not wearing a floppy brown hat i'm so glad you ask scott because you do need a contingency plan if they're not

so how about what percentage of people are wearing the floppy brown hat under one okay then your next line is if they don't have the floppy brown hat i love your dangly purple bracelet oh wow heyo okay so that's number two now what happens in the rare occurrence that they're not wearing either of these. Then you move on to line number three on the flirt chart. That's a wonderful jack-a-lantern you're holding.

Okay. I would imagine that would only come into play for a couple of weeks during the year. These are so specific. That's 11 months away, guys. Right, yeah. No, I agree. So what's number four? Ever sat in a

homemade D-box chair? How often is that the one you're leading with? Oh, I'll wait till it's four. Sometimes you get the first three. Okay. Now, we haven't cleared up ER. I know what W means now. What is the D stand for in D box?

Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a good question. They never told us. Destruction. Destruction box. It destroys your colon. Colon. The amount of, the amount of sort of, yeah, foods it's shooting in your mouth.

and black coffee is spraying in your mouth you know and why did you get into the debox like did you go sit in one in the theater and it just 30 years ago i went to a movie and thought the experience could have been enhanced oh okay so debox wasn't even invented yeah i remember the first time i ever went it was like fast and furious the fourth one well i went let's see 1995 late late 95 yep i saw babe and you thought this was It would only be better if your chair was shaking around. Whenever what, the pig would cry or? Cry, yeah, what do you'd, oink?

I wanted the, you know, the chair to oink. You wanted the chair to wink? Back in response, yeah. I don't know that that's what DeBox does. I think it just shakes. Mine does. Okay. And it ain't no sound effect, I'll tell you that. What does that mean?

There's a little pig pin below the seat. Okay. So you're Deboxed with the pig inside. That basically works best for two movies, Babe. And the running man. I was going to go and say Babe two pig in the city. Oh, it works great on that one. Any pigs in the running man?

Would you expect any less from the town flirt? Well, but can I ask you something about your flirting? Sure. And by the way, it's red with two Ds like Chris Red. Oh, very cool. Big Saturday Night Live fan? Well, my parents were. I don't know.

Okay, sure. Did you know who Fran Gillespie was? She was a writer on that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mostly followed the writer. She was at S&L 50, I believe. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, go ahead. So if you try your things on the, you try your lines for people from flirting. Yeah. If you get somebody who is receptive to your advances, then how does it happen? What goes down? Well, it's just flirting for fun.

Oh. I've been married for, I got, I've been married for 30 years in a day. Oh wait, so you got married the day before you saw Before I started working at the hobby shop Oh, okay, and also before you saw Bay Did all those things happen right around the same time? Yeah

I started a hobby shop I spent my first paycheck on a ticket to Babe Okay And then that gave you the idea To start your own hobbies To start, yeah, I stopped making Panzer tanks and P-51 Mustangs And I started moving on into making my own D-box chairs

Okay, but I want to get back to you're married. Yeah. How does your partner feel about you flirting and being the town flirt? She don't mind. We don't see much of each other. Why is that? It's been about 25 years that our schedules haven't really lined up. Oh, okay.

What does she do? She's a night nurse. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. So you don't really go on dates or anybody? No, I just get, I flirt with people that come in the hobby shop. And, yeah, my wife and I kind of like ships passing in the wind. Are you sleeping at the same time?

Is that why you... The opposite times. She's on her night shift while I sleep, and then she gets home while I'm working at the hobby show. So it's 12-hour shifts for both? Or instead of 8.8. Have you ever had a customer in the shop who's wearing a floppy brown hair and a dangly purple pendant? Yes. What happened?

Well... In which line did you go with first? I went with brown hat. Right. Fellas, you got to start with the brown hat line. Can you try to know me where it happened? Bean dip. I love your floppy brown hat.

Oh, wow, thanks. I felt kind of good when I left the house wearing my floppy brown hat. It really compliments your velvet one-piece jumpsuit. Thank you so much. Man, it's really nice to meet a nice person in this place. Thank you. What brings you into Angeridge Hobbies? I've lived here for a while and have always been too shy to come into different stores.

So today I thought was the day. May I interest you in some sprue cutters? Well, if that means a kiss, then yes. Oh, dear. I've stepped over a line. What will Eileen think? Eileen is your wife? Your wife? And so this has never happened before where anyone's taken you up on your flirt. No, it's always been harmless flirting. It's been rebuffed, in fact? Mostly, yes. When you say mostly, what are the times that it has not been rebuffed? It went down exactly like how you just heard.

Oh, okay. And you said, oh, no, I've stepped over a line. Then what happened with Eileen? I wrote her a post-it and put it on the fridge to let her know Okay I never really got a response Has Eileen ever come back early from work And found somebody in the house Watching Babe on the D-box Yes

That was a low point in our marriage It sounds like your marriage has been all low points I have to say for the past 25 years Since 2000 what happened in 2000 Oh she got this job Mm-hmm Okay Yeah

So what happened then she comes she walks into the room sees who's who's in the d box chair well it was one of our customers who sounded rather interested in my my my d box my homemade d box sure and so i was still at the store working but i gave them the keys of the house so they could come over okay and so eileen comes in there's a stranger a customer like someone who just lives in anchorage i guess yes exactly and male female Uh, male. Male. So a strange man in, in her house.

Yeah, I'm bisexual. I'll flirt with everybody. Okay. And I don't think that's exactly what that means, but... Oh, sorry. But, but fine. Yeah, we don't need to put a label on it necessarily. Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. Uh-huh. Uh, and, you know, it's that scene where you're kind of in the point of view of the

arrow that is flying. Yeah. And it's, I mean, she said she walked in. POV of the era oinking pigs just going crazy they were going crazy yeah they were going

they were hog wild literally yeah and so what how did she react what are you doing in my house my husband flirt with you well go go back to that story I'm home to sleep now

So a big argument And then, but you did not see her after that, so No. How did you hear that this was her reaction? The ring cam. Oh, okay. You had a ring cam 25 years ago. Oh, no, I guess this was more recent.

This is more recently. Yeah, okay, right, yeah. 2019. 2019, okay. Was the customer annoyed that they didn't see the rest of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves? Yeah, they came back and they said, I want my money back. And I said, well, there was no transaction involved. Right.

I just told you about my homemade chair and gave you the keys to my house. You went and watched one of my movies on my... Did you end up giving his money back, though? Well, yes, obviously, but then he left. I thought, hey, I've been robbed. And did you come home and everything was out? No, I called the police. I was robbed.

I was robbed. And then when you explained the situation... Well, guess you showed up. And now in an officer uniform, that exact guy. Oh, no. Oh, this goes all the way up to the top. It goes to the top, yeah. They made a show about it.

Night country. Night country. Okay. Sounds like a good show. Does it start with a scene of you at the hobby shop and asking the person? In the original script it did. And then Jody Foster cut it. Oh, it's the true detective night country.

It's part of the Maverett. It is part of the Maverick. Yes, yes, exactly. Hmm. Interesting. How did I lean? What happened after all this? What did she?

was she like look i'm not coming back here for a little while or i mean it's been 19 years into you guys yeah yeah well i you know i made it up to where i left her favorite flower on her pillowcase oh what is it sunflower cute okay and she and that was she took that well then or well except for the bees that were on it oh my gosh how many bees are we talking how many you're in a hive a lot of bees Okay, that many Okay, why put a bee-soaked flower on her pillow This is

They were on the back, obviously Oh, obviously He only seen in front He didn't see the fire I'm sorry, I'm sorry I put it out Well, she put her head down Then I'm checking the ring camp

I'm getting stunned by so many bees Why do you have a ring cam in your bedroom We have a ring cam in every room It's one of my hobbies Sounds like you're a pervert No, no, I have the same hobby As that guy from Sliver Billy Baldwin

Yes, exactly, yeah Having sex in a shower with Sharon Stone That's one of his hobbies, I think Sure, yeah, she likes to be spied on So your hobbies are making your homemade D-box chairs And taping Every little thing Every little thing in watching it

Yeah, I have access to every ring cam and anchorage You do? Oh How do you have access to them? Because I have a ring cam set up inside the server farm. Oh, okay. That's all the screens. That's what they don't tell you about.

If you put one of the ring cams inside the server firm that sees every ring cam, then would you expect any less from the town flirt? Seriously. Scott, I have a theory. The Red Velvet, let me ask, did you get access to the server farm because you flirted with somebody who worked there? Well, let's just say She did have a floppy hat and purple bracelet And was holding a jacko lantern Oh, golly

This is the person in charge of the server farm You got access to it Put your own ring cam And did she expect anything from you for this? Well, she might have, yes, been expecting A gentle smooch on the cheek But you did not give her one Have you ever cheated on Eileen?

No. I just, I handed her a flower, and I said, for you, my lady, but my heart belongs to another. Did this flower have a ton of bees on it as well? Yes. And centipedes. Centipedes? Oh, no. Yeah. It was a bird of paradise.

You got to start going to an actual florist instead of just picking flowers out of yard. True. It is true. No, it's true, but it's one of my flirt techniques. Yeah, yeah. Hey, are you picking fire out of my yard? A lot of people A anchorage sound like me.

Yeah. Yeah. Red Velvet, I, you know, I, I thought you were going to come on and just talk about working in the hobby shop. But the flirting has kind of piqued my interest. I have to, I have to ask you, you seem like you're in a loveless marriage, 25 years of not having any kind of human contact. Just scheduling. Just, it's, I mean, after 25 years, it's not a scheduling snafu anymore. It's, it's an issue with your marriage.

I remain in this marriage that seems so loveless. Well, you're casting aspersions on it. I do love my wife. Okay. And she loves me as far as I know. What do you love about her? Her wardrobe, the brown hat, the purple bracelet. Let me guess.

The jackal antar. So she, this is your ideal woman, is Eileen. She's my ideal woman. And she wears this every day? She wears it, yeah, pretty much. every day. And then, you know, I remember the first time I saw her, I felt so in love and I was unemployed. And I said, I'm going to get a job to earn for her. This was in 95, the day before you. Well, we met in 94. Oh, okay. Where? We were seeing quiz show. Is she alive still?

As far as I am aware. I mean, the ring cam would tell you, right? Do you check the ring cams every single day? Let me check right now. Okay, what's she up to? Watching a movie on the D-box. Are the pigs squealing? Yeah, oh, the pigs are squealing to plenty, yeah. Yeah, which movie we got? Deliverance, right? Deliverance, yeah, exactly.

Oh, okay, that's a perfect movie to watch on that. Yeah, she's watching deliverance. She's laughing and laughing, having a great old time. It's a funny movie. Yeah, she loves. Especially the second half. Dude, I can only imagine, though, keeping pigs in the house. Is that where they stay under the D-box?

Under the D-box? Down by the sea, yeah. I'll break you with my baby. This is going to be a hit for the windows. But it must get dirty and smell bad in that room. A pig's dream. Yeah, pigs like that. I mean, they like to roll around in the mud and stuff.

But humans don't really like that kind of stuff. Do you live in an apartment, a house? A house. A house. Oh, you say, do I not like the mud in the smells? Yeah. I love them. They're only under the D-box.

Right. The rest of the house isn't a mud pit. I can walk around and not track mud everywhere. Okay. All right, sure. It just seems smelly to me, at least. Sure. Well, I have clothespins from the hobby shop.

Oh, okay. Like a cartoon man? You put a clothespin on your nose? Yeah, a big clothespin on my nose. Oh, yes. And that prevents you, I would imagine. Imagine when you smell something really good and you start to float towards it. If you put the clothespin on your nose, you return back down to the ground.

Yeah, my neighbor makes wonderful pies. Leaves them out on the sill. Yeah, it leaves them out. And I'm always floating through the air toward them. My neighbor's saying, hey, you've got to stop that. You're stealing all my pies. Don't you have clothespins at the hobby shop? And I say, oh, you're right, I do it.

So then I put all my clothespins. Right. So you're wandering around the house wearing clothespins. and Eileen's over there working in the at the hospital a lot like Dr. Morganstern from ER. Oh, tell me about that. Oh yeah. Well, he was head of the ER. Yeah, it was the administrator of some sort. And then he would be in and out. I think he was filming Fargo at the time for one full season. So he wasn't there as much. And then

had to leave the hospital. Oh, 14 seasons? 15 seasons. But Dr. Morgan Stern only was in 31 episodes. And if you could rank the 15 seasons in a completely random order, what we... In a completely random order? Sure, yeah. 1, 8, 7, 5, 9, 15, 12, 11, 13, 14, 2, 7, 4? Is that the one I forgot? That was good.

Thanks. To you, that's random, but to me, it's my ATM code. Oh, no. Ride it down, everybody. that's a long ATM code i had to make a special request and they granted it mhm oh bemo it sure did oh bemo they're a different kind of bank yeah that's why that yeah um i love those commercials hmm they're from montreal the the commercials are shot in montreal i don't that's a good question oh bemo is uh montreal bank thank you montreal they don't really

talk about is that what the m and bemo stands were montreal not to mention the oh Bank of Montreal. Oh, that's what it is. Oh, okay. I thought that was the same thing as Bevmo. Yeah. I didn't even know it was a bank. Yeah, it was just a cooler way to say Bevmo.

Yeah, I thought, oh, well, if you're somebody who needs a bunch of liquor, then you got a BMO. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not to mention Venmo. Well, talk about confusing. Do you think Bevmo and Venmo are the same kind of thing? Is that confusing for you? Well, Venmo and BMO sort of are the same kind of thing.

Yeah. In a way, yeah, they both handle money. I feel like we're getting off track here. What's going on at the hobby shop these days? We're getting people coming in, buying products. We sell them to them. They leave. Okay, so you came on here not prepared to talk about the hobby shop at all.

hey this is my flow sorry it's like I mean to cock block you I hear your movies coming out in D-Vox yeah would you like to hear it with a homemade D-box that has pigs underneath it and yeah

shoots water regardless of what's happening and on the screen. Where does it shoot the water on the person? Depends up. Well, that does depend on what's happening on the screen. Oh, okay. If the sound is pan to left,

it's got to shoot at you from the left. Okay. You know. Any other effects? Shaking, rumbling, pig squealing, water shooting. Shaking, rumbling, pig squealing. Sometimes little robot arms come out

and open a can of paint thinner. Oh, wow. You sort of get a little last whiff of that. So just for the smell? Mm-hmm. Okay, it doesn't throw it on you or anything like that. Oh, no, no. I'm not crazy

Do you happen to have Robin Hood Prince of Thieves? I do, yep and I have it queued up to the POV arrow shots now Does the arrow actually come out of the TV and hit you? Yes One arrow But it sort of comes out backwards to keep

Because it's pointing one way on the screen So it's sort of pointing away from camera Oh no I am the arrow Okay I'm going towards the... Yeah so it sort of comes in reverse out of the screen So it shoots from behind you from the seat back behind you or something? it's more like the ring on the screen it's it's you're sort of in position as if there's a go-pro on the camera and it's flying forward you know a lot about movie making thank you

but but then what my contraption does is sort of a little model train comes out from under the tv yeah carrying an arrow backwards got it toward you toward you okay yeah and then it kind of goes up a ramp it goes right and as it sort of stops right at your chest. Now, is this used for any other movie you watch on the D-box this ramp arrow contraption?

You can use a lot of point-of-view shots. Curving bullets and wanted. Carlito's way. There's a lot of POV in that. Maybe like, same part of riding the beach

at Nuremberg. Yeah, exactly. Is it Nuremberg or Normandy? That's what I meant. Oh, I like you said, judgment at. I'm at Normandy. Star of the beach,

everybody knows it. judgment at Nuremberg is a good one in D-Bolks man when that final gavel goes down for the final judgment boom just shakes the chair so Edgar are you going to accept his oh absolutely I'd love to I'd love to come great and I feel like everything coming out and my mouth is filthy hey you should see what goes into mine

oh my god is that one of your pickup lines that's one of my classic flirts well I got to say red velvet that you're a fascinating guy. I expected to mainly talk about your hobby shop. Do you want to plug anything with the hobby shop there or the hours of operation or anything like that? We're having a sale on dry brush paint brushes.

Okay. And two for one. Two for one. Bogo. Okay. That's, I mean, those are, that's a pretty good deal. Yeah. All right.

And people can get that at Anchorage. Well, guys, we are running out of time. unfortunately, I hate to say. We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. Gonna spend the rest of my life trying to laugh myself to death, even if it costs every penny I got, darling. You can have this left after comedy.

Now I'll have to come back I also just On variety it said that Eggarong anchored Scooby Don't He anchored it Oh What a bummer I was looking forward to that

Yeah that's too bad Maybe you have a shot then it's in turn around it seems like um turn around bright eyes and bright uh speaking of bright eyes we have bean dip over here with the brightest eyes oh no these are your contacts yeah i have my all whites in yeah you put them in that's really disconcerting that's right you don't know if i'm alive or if i'm a ghosty yeah i'm not sure that's a good name for the company all whites yeah it probably is not great i want to rethink

that part of it but other than that Anything else you want to plug? Oh, sure, man. I'll say, you know, there's a front of mine if you were to go see, probably she does a show called Playgirl and Dynasty Typewriter. You could go see that. Or if you like watching TV shows,

you can watch all four seasons of The Righteous Jumpstones on HBO. I thought you meant all episodes of the Four Seasons, but you're talking about all four seasons of the righteous Jimsters. I mean, check that out if that's your thing. Sure. Hey, guys, check out the four seasons. And Red Velvet, what do you want to plug? I'll plug my friend has a show called Digman that's streaming on Paramount Plus season one.

Hey, there's an episode with Edgar at voice in it. Wow. Not invited back for season two. Very, very upset about that. What are you playing that, Edgar? I forget what my... Boxing announcer, tragedy struck as we were recording. That's right. Yes, this is true.

So whilst I was recording, this is a true story, whilst I was recording my part in Digman season one, The Queen died. No, like literally, or the news was released that she had died. Do you think that you, she died right when you were recording? Well, I just think that I don't want to build up my part too much, but my part in Digman spans reins. Whoa, this is incredible.

Yeah. So the Queen and the King. The Queen and the King. I mean, I don't think anybody else on Digman can claim that. I don't think so. I mean, maybe Andy Sandbergs, since some of the episodes were probably done beforehand. I don't maybe, but you'll have to ask him. I will ask him, yeah.

I know this is beyond your purview, Red Velvet. And season two will be there someday, who knows? Yeah. Can I come back for season three? Yeah, season three. Sure. I want to plug, hey, we have new Christmas ornaments. This is exciting.
