Never tell me the odds, only the evens. Even if that even is Steven. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Maddie Wax for that catchphrase submission submitted on 721 2025. Unfortunately, Maddie, that one stinks and is not going to become the permanent catchphrase. But hey, congratulations to you, Maddie Walks. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. For another week we have an exceptional show. Let me tell you who's coming up a little later. A little later we have someone named Mumps. Huh? And that's it. All right. Well, did I say it was an exceptional show? Look, it came out. You gotta give it that. But let's get to our guests of honor here. Right off the top. First off, I'm gonna introduce you individually if that's all right with you. First off, he is a. An American standup comedian. He's saluting right now. The flag that's right outside the window. An American stand up comedian. You know him from such wonderful movies and television shows like Old School and Children's Hospital, the Comedy Bang bang television show. But most notably, he was on season 14, episode 2 of ER where he played dying patient. I just saw him the other day when I completed my ER rewatch.
Scott Aukerman
You did?
Patton Oswalt
Please welcome back to the show, Eddie Pepito.
Kevin Tullio
Thank you everybody. It's so good to be back on Comedy Bang Bang. Last time I was here, I remember being the diner marshal. I don't know.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, wait, that was. I thought that was a real diner marshal. That was you.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, I thought you.
Patton Oswalt
Oh. Has this whole show been alive?
Kevin Tullio
Oh my God. I didn't know this was a Santa Claus thing, but.
Patton Oswalt
What if the diner marshal were. Now he just took the place of Santa Claus during Christmas. It was the diner marshal coming around to your house, coming down the chimney.
Kevin Tullio
Yes. And the Marshall. The Marshall was because we had just starting. We just started putting marshals on planes, if you remember that.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, must have been long ago. It was 2000.
Kevin Tullio
Was that near 2001?
Patton Oswalt
We started the show in 2009. So not too close. Wasn't too soon. You have to give it that.
Kevin Tullio
Jesus.
Patton Oswalt
Jesus.
Kevin Tullio
So anyway, it's good to be back. And let me tell you about that ER episode. My biggest thrill on that was I got.
Patton Oswalt
This is like I've ordered a cameo from you. This is thrilling. Please continue.
Kevin Tullio
I. I got to work with Stanley Tucci. Who?
Patton Oswalt
The Tucci? Yeah. He was on season 14.
Kevin Tullio
Was he?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
What I thought he was on here.
Patton Oswalt
Talking about, oh, here. Got it.
Kevin Tullio
So anyway, Tucci, I did this character who was dying.
Patton Oswalt
Patient.
Kevin Tullio
Dying patient. Never dying. I was a guy who was brought in all the time because I would actually be having a hangover and I wasn't actually dying. That was the bit. And Tucci just came over to me and he goes, it's so funny. And I said, and I said, why don't you host a food show where you traipse around Italy? And he took my.
Patton Oswalt
And he took the traipsing part literally. Because I watched the show, I go, this guy's traipsing?
Kevin Tullio
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
The entire time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what a story. That's incredible. And of course, Eddie has a new stand up comedy program that is out on the. Whatever this veeps thing is. Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
Veeps.com.
Patton Oswalt
Veeps.Com.
Kevin Tullio
Yes.
Tootie Rivers
Slash.
Kevin Tullio
Eddie Pepitone, if you want to see my specials. A lot of comedians, lot of bands put their stuff on this website. The great Bart Coleman is running it.
Patton Oswalt
Yes. And apparently he makes a comfortable enough living that he can go see fish approximately 364 days out of the year.
Kevin Tullio
Wow. I. Yeah, I don't know about that. What is it called? The Biosphere in Vegas?
Patton Oswalt
I don't think it's a biosphere.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, no, that's on Mars. Yes. The sphere.
Patton Oswalt
The sphere, yes.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah. I think you have too much time on your hands if you're seeing fish.
Patton Oswalt
Yes.
Kevin Tullio
In this sphere.
Patton Oswalt
Even once.
Kevin Tullio
Maybe.
Patton Oswalt
The program is called and it is a special. I don't know why I'm not calling it a special. It's very special. You don't do these all the time, but it's Called the Collapse. It's out on veeps. But let's turn to our other guest and introduce him because he is the producer of said special, perhaps even executive producer. Who knows. That's right. He is the old XCP on the Collapse. He is a stand up comedy. Oh, he's an American stand up comedian and he's saluting as well. You would know him from such things as the voice of Remy and Ratatouille and he was in the movies big fan and young adult. Please welcome back to the show Patton Oswalt.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, thank you so much. The comedy bang bang community for re embracing me.
Patton Oswalt
I'm glad the cbbc.
Tootie Rivers
I'm glad all the bad blood is behind us. We can start fresh on this one.
Patton Oswalt
That's right, you were canceled in between your last appearance and then you got uncanceled. How does someone uncancel themselves? That's amazing.
Tootie Rivers
Apparently you just wait long enough and.
Patton Oswalt
People approximately two weeks.
Tootie Rivers
All of our ATT spans are apparently been fried to. We, we, we all have nat brains now. It doesn't really matter what you do. I have nat Geo literally from second to second. I don't think it matters anymore.
Patton Oswalt
Well, welcome back.
Tootie Rivers
I didn't mean to talk over your nat.
Patton Oswalt
Oh no, I, I should be apologizing to you for talking over you.
Tootie Rivers
By the way.
Patton Oswalt
No, no guest has ever apologized to me before for me being annoying.
Tootie Rivers
I remember the episode of the Diner Marshal with Eddie Pepitone and a. A visual that I took from that is at one point he described being so depressed that he was using his gun to eat mashed potatoes of a guy with like a, like a, like a, like a snub nose just digging into a pile of mash and then eating it off the barrel and then no one in the diner even looking at him twice. Okay. Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
A classic episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Go back. Go head over to cbbworld.com where you can hear all of the previous episodes ad free.
Tootie Rivers
And I love at Bang Bang Fest every year seeing all of the cosplay of the pistols with mashed potatoes on them. It's an enduring image.
Patton Oswalt
Exactly. Do you like the word cosplay because it's too close to Cosby.
Tootie Rivers
It is a little. When cosplay they've clearly put. Cosplay puts it up. You put your dress up like the Green Lantern, but you don't have the power to fly.
Patton Oswalt
The FL should be wearing a sweater.
Tootie Rivers
Is cosplay a Port Monto? Did they combine costume play? Oh my God.
Patton Oswalt
Although they didn't really shorten play. Yes. Eddie, you were going to say portmanteau.
Kevin Tullio
Isn't that a wine port Monte?
Patton Oswalt
It sounds like it should be like a portmanteau of two different wines from Portugal.
Tootie Rivers
Portmanteau.
Patton Oswalt
Ports would be the wine.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, that.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
Sorry.
Patton Oswalt
Guys. Welcome back to the show. It's so wonderful to have you. We're here in. It's the. The. I believe it's July, or we're in the dregs of July right now, and.
Tootie Rivers
We'Re the dreads of July, and we're on the cusp of the dog days.
Patton Oswalt
That's right. And you still made time to come back here to Comedy Bang Bang. I appreciate that. Tell me about this special. What is going on with it? The collapse. Now, is this about your prolapsed anus that I've heard so much about or exactly what from?
Kevin Tullio
First of all, who told you about my prolapsed anus? I want names.
Tootie Rivers
He prefers the term pink sock, please.
Kevin Tullio
No, it's about my personal collapse, which is ongoing.
Patton Oswalt
It's an ongoing project.
Tootie Rivers
It really is.
Kevin Tullio
It's just ongoing. And America is collapsing. And I am an American. As a matter of fact, at one point in the special, I go to the audience, I go. I am America. I am angry. I am anxious. Things like that. So that's kind of.
Patton Oswalt
So your. Your life essentially mirrors the decline of western civilization? Is that what you're trying to say?
Kevin Tullio
Yes. I don't want to be that pretentious, but yes.
Tootie Rivers
Don't oversell the special. I don't want to crash the site. I don't want to crash.
Patton Oswalt
Veebs. Oh, no. Veebs. Someone called Bardi C. We need more serv.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, well, you got to wait for this rift to finish. That's gonna be another 17 hours at the Fish concert. Yeah, it. I don't want to speak for Eddie, but I. I love Eddie. Pepitone is one of my favorite comedians and getting to exec producers because. And this is maybe this is a little sadistic. I just am so curious to see what would happen if Eddie really did, like, blow up to a list level where Massive Broadcast Corporation Studios wanted to work with him and to see what that meltdown would look like because.
Patton Oswalt
Meltdown on which end? His or the corporation?
Tootie Rivers
No, no, the corporation. Like, it would be amazing to. Just to see them building a media empire around him, but they're building an empire around a guy who's going, this is all an illusion. They are using this to control you. Like, there's Something ultimately so black mirror about that. If you watch the special, and I pray that you do, I. I demand that you do. I don't pray. No, I'm demanding they do. It is really when that. That when you go into that riff about I am America, he truly is America on every physical, psychological, and emotional level you can be on right now. It is our country in this moment.
Kevin Tullio
I was ahead of the curve because I've been having a nervous breakdown in slow.
Patton Oswalt
You know, and meanwhile, America's is in fast motion right now.
Kevin Tullio
Well, yes, and so is mine, because I am accelerated.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
Well, the second Trump term, all the fashion, you know, everybody is the fashion.
Patton Oswalt
You were going to say fascism. Oh, okay. That's. That's really different.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
But everybody is, I think, having a nervous breakdown unless they're dead inside. And if you're dead inside, you're one of those people who are like, oh, everything's okay.
Tootie Rivers
The. The people. The people that are actually visibly functioning at a high level right now, those are the ones that scare me.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
Those are the ones that. To me, those are the ones that are actually the people that are like Eddie and people that you see on TikTok and. And Instagram that are just screaming and yelling. Those are the sane people.
Patton Oswalt
At this point, I feel like I'm doing great. I'm not relating to this chunk necessarily, but.
Tootie Rivers
Wow.
Patton Oswalt
I love to hear you talk. It's the cadence.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, yeah. It's fun. Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
And, Eddie, how long have you been working on the special? Is this. Do you put out a special a year?
Kevin Tullio
No, I don't.
Patton Oswalt
Patton. No, I don't.
Scott Aukerman
Are you.
Kevin Tullio
Are you putting out a special year?
Patton Oswalt
Well, you did for a while, didn't you?
Tootie Rivers
For a while, Yeah, I am. I just did a thing where I taped. I filmed my latest special a few months ago. We're editing it together, and then I. Audible wanted me. Oh, Eddie's going to love to hear this. I did a thing with Audible with Amazon. Oh, he's going to be so happy.
Patton Oswalt
Jeff Bezos, get him on the horn.
Kevin Tullio
He had a great wedding if you saw it.
Tootie Rivers
It was fun. It was fun, but they want to do just albums, like, just the audio. So I recorded a thing at the Minetta Lane Theater, and I got a man doing a special. But it's just the audio.
Kevin Tullio
What about it?
Tootie Rivers
It's so great. You're so like, oh, my God. I'm not worried about what cameras are catching this.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. How much sweat is pouring off my body.
Tootie Rivers
Literally, like, what I got to Wear it. Doesn't matter.
Kevin Tullio
That's how the specials used to be.
Tootie Rivers
What I like about it. Yes. So that I feel like. Although I. Again, when you see Eddie Special, you do need to see the visual of this guy having a nervous breakdown. It is.
Patton Oswalt
It's happening right in front of me right now. It is horrifying.
Kevin Tullio
I don't stop. It's 24 7.
Tootie Rivers
It is like if. If Samuel Beckett did a play about Rodney Dangerfield that.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, God, now I want to see that.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, exactly. You can break this. It really is. It is. It's the. Your next special. You should film it in on a stage, but make it like the stage for Waiting for Co. That's where you are. It would be so perfect.
Kevin Tullio
Wow.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. Do it that way.
Kevin Tullio
I like that out.
Patton Oswalt
I would love to see Ronnie Dangerfield in Waiting for Godot. You know how Bill and Ted are doing it on Broadway coming up?
Tootie Rivers
Yes, they are.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, right. And who's doing it? Bill and Ted. You know, Keanu Reeves, Ted Sarandos and.
Tootie Rivers
And Bill Cosby.
Patton Oswalt
The Best of Friends.
Scott Aukerman
Awesome.
Kevin Tullio
No, Bill. Oh, the guys who did Bill and Ted.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Yes, yes. I'm forgetting their name.
Tootie Rivers
Alex Winter.
Kevin Tullio
Okay.
Patton Oswalt
Who's the other guy, though?
Tootie Rivers
Alex.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tootie Rivers
That one.
Patton Oswalt
That guy. Yeah, they're doing it. And then, you know, Steve Martin and Robin Williams did it on Broadway. It would be so fun to see Rodney Dangerfield and someone else do it, I guess. Eddie. Rodney and Eddie.
Tootie Rivers
Hey, hey.
Patton Oswalt
Where's this good old guy?
Tootie Rivers
But Waiting.
Patton Oswalt
We need to get Todd Glass in here. Hey, look at him.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, but. But Beckett, I read this biography of him, and he said he wrote it as a comedy. And the best versions of that play have been with comedians. One with Bert Lahr, the one with Zero Mostel that you can see on Canopy. The. The cadences are supposed to be like comedy cadences. Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
Love it.
Tootie Rivers
It's basically. It's Laurel and Hardy in the post apocalypse. That's basically what it is.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
If you think about it that way.
Patton Oswalt
You sound smart. You had me at. I read a biography.
Tootie Rivers
I read a biography.
Patton Oswalt
You know my.
Tootie Rivers
Okay, here's my favorite thing about Samuel Beckett's life. When he was living in the Paris countryside, there was a kid down the street who was, like, had some kind of growth problem. He was, like, in kindergarten, first grade, too much. Like, he was already, like six something in the first grade. And he couldn't get on the school bus. So Samuel Beckett, the driver, couldn't even get on.
Patton Oswalt
I was driving the school bus.
Tootie Rivers
This kid could not get on. It was like a little bus for kids or something. He could.
Kevin Tullio
Can I say, I didn't think this kind of thing happened in the French countryside.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, they romantic. They romanticized so much.
Tootie Rivers
But Samuel Beckett would take his truck around and give this kid a ride to school every day. And that kid was Andre the Giant. Whoa. Samuel Beckett took Andre the Giant.
Kevin Tullio
Thank you, Sam.
Tootie Rivers
They're waiting for Godot. He's supposed to be coming here. I don't know why he's not here.
Patton Oswalt
I'm gonna give Pat the edge on the impression. Yours was no doubt passable at best.
Kevin Tullio
But I threw it out there.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, you got the ball rolling.
Tootie Rivers
He walked so that I could. He walked for the last one.
Patton Oswalt
That's a great story. I never do something like. It's so interesting to hear stuff like that. Like, oh, Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore were roommates in college. That's true, too. Oh, yeah.
Tootie Rivers
There's a lot of twists to life.
Patton Oswalt
And then I was. I was recently reading Peter Wolf from Jay Geilsband biography, and he was David Lynch's roommate in college.
Tootie Rivers
What?
Patton Oswalt
And he wrote to congratulate him on the success of Blue Velvet. And David wrote back a very nice letter that said, you still owe me $3.36.
Kevin Tullio
Holy shit.
Tootie Rivers
And Peter Wolf's Blood ran cold.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. That's a great biography. You should read his biography. You should.
Tootie Rivers
Wow.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, he's. He, like, hung out with Dylan. He like some. It's a really fascinating biography.
Tootie Rivers
He had a life.
Patton Oswalt
He really did. And speaking of a life, Eddie Pepitone, the Collapse is out on something called Veeps right now. And if you don't oversell it, what.
Tootie Rivers
A way to fire up excitement. Don't oversell it. I haven't seen it. Personally. I'm just trusting it's out there. I don't know.
Patton Oswalt
Look, the Internet is crazy. Who knows what's out there? But the collapse is out right now. And approximately how long is this special? Around 60 minutes or so. Yes, that's a good target.
Kevin Tullio
55 minutes.
Patton Oswalt
Specials could be shorter, though, now because they're on the Internet. Right? So who. Who needs them to be 60 minutes?
Tootie Rivers
If you're getting 10k steps a day, you'll get half your steps listening to. Listening to and watching the collapse. Yeah, and that's. That's part of the promo, by the way. Guaranteed, half your 10k steps every day.
Patton Oswalt
But why? Specials could come out. That could be like 46 minutes or something. You know what I mean?
Kevin Tullio
I guess things are Too long now, I guess. You think it's too long.
Patton Oswalt
I'm already saying your special's too long. No notes.
Tootie Rivers
What, did Christopher Nolan direct this thing? Come on, bring it in. Bring close the show, champ.
Patton Oswalt
What number of specials is this for you?
Kevin Tullio
This is the third one I've had filmed. So three on film, one on an album. That one on the album I'm very proud of. Mostly improvised, which is what I would like to do on my next special.
Patton Oswalt
Do an improvised special.
Kevin Tullio
I don't know that I've ever seen Scoville kind of.
Tootie Rivers
Scoville, yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
But I'm thinking of having the guy who films me, Steve Fine Arts, who's now great.
Patton Oswalt
He did the documentary on you.
Kevin Tullio
Yes. And Marin recently.
Tootie Rivers
He's a terrific filmmaker.
Kevin Tullio
He is. And we've been talking about him just following me, like, just renting out some place for like a month and him filming for. Because I, I love riffing. And whenever I have to do a special, I feel so tied to these bits. And I, I, I don't know about you, Patton, but I'm one of these comedians who, after I do a bit for more than a year, I'm like, jesus Christ.
Tootie Rivers
Well, you're also, at that point, you're in acting territory. Yeah. Okay. I've got a.
Patton Oswalt
Generate the excitement at this point in the joke. I act surprised as if I just thought about this. Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
Like, I broke. Like, a lot of comedians do this. I broke up with my girlfriend a few years ago, but no, I just broke up with my girlfriend. They say, a few years ago. Beat a few years ago.
Patton Oswalt
I would like a comedian, though, to be more transparent about it. Like, I broke up with my girlfriend a few years ago. I plowed through 10 women since. But that one made me think of this joke.
Tootie Rivers
But this, yeah, the one that I broke up with a few years ago ago has this joke tied to her. So we're doing that.
Patton Oswalt
Yes.
Tootie Rivers
Well, there's nothing more frustrating. And this just happened to me. When you record a special and then a week later you're on the road, you're doing a show, and you think of a better way to do a bit that you have just, just committed.
Patton Oswalt
That happens the minute we stop this program every week. Oh, why did I say this? You know, it be fun to do a special where you're talking about jokes based on people, actual people. Like, I broke up with my girlfriend. And then to get a rebuttal or rebuttals from them where they, they give the other side of the story. And then you edit those in.
Kevin Tullio
I don't know if that would, you know, that wouldn't focus as much on me.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, interesting.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, that's.
Kevin Tullio
Rebuttals take up a lot.
Tootie Rivers
I hadn't thought about that. That's interesting. Maybe just bonus materials if you want to go see the rebuttals.
Patton Oswalt
Just Eddie's exes complaining about him saying, oh, he said, what about me? Oh, okay. Let me tell you something.
Tootie Rivers
It'd be really funny, though, if one of the exos was so zen about it going first off. No, that's not how it happened. I see why he changed, though. It is a better bit. Like, I respect the craftsmanship of it. Listen, if it, if it made you happy listening to it, fine. I threw an ashtray at his head. I don't really throw stuff, but fine, I see what he's, what he's going for.
Kevin Tullio
And then I would have final say going something like, your life is fodder for my specials.
Patton Oswalt
Well, the collapse is out right now on Veeps. We have. If you're one of those credit heads, stick around till the end because you'll see Patton's name on this. What else did you do as executive producer? Did you watch the special first and give any notes? Is this a purely ceremonial credit?
Tootie Rivers
What?
Patton Oswalt
What? What?
Tootie Rivers
Well, I mean, I help to definitely help with the promotion and the getting the word out. I mean, I watched.
Patton Oswalt
So you came on this show.
Tootie Rivers
I, I get you a credit.
Patton Oswalt
I'm hosting the show. I want to credit.
Tootie Rivers
I've done other things. I did other. Wasn't just that. Listen, if I do one comedy, bang bang, you give me that exact producer credit. All right. What kind of gonna do this?
Patton Oswalt
Shady backroom deals are going on in the booking process of this show.
Kevin Tullio
I have 35 EPS on this.
Patton Oswalt
Just my last 30.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. Anyone who hung up a flyer. No, I mean, I, I, I watch.
Patton Oswalt
And you're a huge fan of Eddie. You've been, you've been one of his biggest supporters over the years. So it's almost like you've been an executive producer of his life and career.
Tootie Rivers
I've been. You know what? I've been an executive producer of a stage of his life. You. Come on.
Patton Oswalt
Yes.
Tootie Rivers
You work with different entities. Early on, you know, he was working with different alcohol and drug companies. Then he moved on.
Patton Oswalt
You developed Ozempic, didn't you? You, you figured out the formula for that, I think.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, I stumbled upon it.
Patton Oswalt
Right. It was a sort of like Marie Curie kind of situation.
Tootie Rivers
Well, he fell stomach first on a.
Patton Oswalt
Needle weirdly and said, hey, what if I put something in this?
Tootie Rivers
Wait a minute.
Kevin Tullio
I started losing weight.
Tootie Rivers
What?
Patton Oswalt
Just the needle punctured you and you were losing blood. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. Slimming down.
Patton Oswalt
Interesting.
Tootie Rivers
Look out, Summer.
Patton Oswalt
Well, the collapse is out now on this, this little website called fix.com. anytime you watch a special, you imagine Bart Colman's eyes lighting up with a big dollar sign. Oh, I can buy another fish ticket. It's out right now. The collapse. I can't wait to see it. Eddie, you're one of my favorites. Can you guys stick around? Because we have to take a break here. But we have someone named Mumps coming up at some point.
Tootie Rivers
I'm not leaving. I have to know what that is.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, great. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have more with Eddie Pepitone, more Patton Oswalt. We'll be right back with more comedy Bang bang after this.

Patton Oswalt
Comedy Bang Bang. We are back and we have Eddie Pepitone here and Patton Oswalt. And during the break, I mentioned tmz and that reminded me of something. Patton, you were on the 30 mile zone website just the other day. What? Talking at, at some airport or something. They, they ambush you with a question about if they were to make a live action Ratatouille movie, would you do the voice for it? Or something like that.
Tootie Rivers
They use that for. I, I had just come off a plane from London.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, cheerio.
Tootie Rivers
And so.
Patton Oswalt
Hello.
Tootie Rivers
Hello, Governor.
Patton Oswalt
Like Madonna, you were talking like that.
Tootie Rivers
Yes, exactly.
Patton Oswalt
These are references that are very.
Tootie Rivers
Wow. That was tmz. Okay. Some guy was just, he had a video camera. He was like, hey, talk to anyone.
Patton Oswalt
With a video camera.
Tootie Rivers
He's nice enough. Why not? But he was asking, like, if they're doing all these live action Disney movies, would you do a live action Ratatouille? I'm like, yeah, sure. I, I, I.
Patton Oswalt
Something about the rat element, like in real life, you know, he's cute in.
Tootie Rivers
The movie, but yeah, exactly. I don't know if they could pull.
Patton Oswalt
That off if it was a Lion King style.
Tootie Rivers
I either get asked, would you do the live action or would you? Because there was also, there was a false story that went around a few weeks ago about Ratatouille 2 in the works.
Patton Oswalt
Ratatouille. Ratatouille with the rat holding up two fingers or two.
Tootie Rivers
Ra Tutui and Hobson Shaw presents. And I do. And I just said, look, I mean, I haven't heard anything about it and I'll probably be the last to hear about it. If Brad Bird comes up with the story that he likes, they'll do a sequel. But he's not in a rush to get a sequel out.
Patton Oswalt
Weird that a guy named Bird made a movie about a rat. It is a little like, it's strange, right? He's a weird guy. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
A rat, a robot. It's. Come on.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. It's like, come on, just make a movie about a bird. That's what we want.
Tootie Rivers
It is a little weird.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
And then John Ratzenberger, who's a voice in all of the Pixar movies, doesn't voice a rat in Ratatouille.
Patton Oswalt
Strange stuff.
Tootie Rivers
I don't know what's going on.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, I don't know what's happening here with Pixar over there.
Tootie Rivers
We're through the looking glass right now, people.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. But in any case, the collapse is out on Veeps. Of course. Right now.
Kevin Tullio
In any case.
Tootie Rivers
In any case.
Patton Oswalt
And.
Tootie Rivers
Wow, is there. Is there a better hype man than Scott Offerman?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, I know, but. Wait, what's this? Sorry, did you. Are you guys. Is your phone going off? Patton? Mine is off.
Tootie Rivers
Hang on. Mine's off.
Patton Oswalt
Mine's off, too. But, Eddie, this must be.
Scott Aukerman
I smell doo doo. Do y' all smell that? I smell doo doo.
Patton Oswalt
What is this?
Scott Aukerman
I smell doo doo. Do y' all smell that? Yo, take that toilet paper. Wipe the front to the back. I smell doodle dooo. Do y' all smell that? I smell dooo.
Patton Oswalt
Do y' all smell that?
Scott Aukerman
I smell dooo.
Patton Oswalt
Do y' all smell that?
Scott Aukerman
Yo, take that toilet paper, wipe from front to the back.
Patton Oswalt
What?
Scott Aukerman
Scotty Alaman.
Patton Oswalt
What? Sorry, who. Who are you, sir? What was that?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you don't remember me?
Patton Oswalt
I don't remember you at all.
Scott Aukerman
You don't remember me, Scott?
Patton Oswalt
Sorry, who are you, sir?
Scott Aukerman
I. Oh, it's your old pal, or shall I say Nemesis, Tootie Rivers.
Patton Oswalt
Tootie Rivers.
Scott Aukerman
Do y' all smell that? Scotty? Alan got so scared. He doesn't do it on himself.
Patton Oswalt
What? No. What. What do you. Wait, I. Have I ever met you before? I'm so sorry. 2D. Who?
Scott Aukerman
1984, Fulton County Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia. We wrestled, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, when I was in the wrestling. The. I mean, the www.
Scott Aukerman
Wrestling. Wrestling. Wrestling.
Tootie Rivers
Thought wrestling was an r. Yeah, the three Rs.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Who is that?
Patton Oswalt
Right. And wrestling. This is Patton Oswald.
Scott Aukerman
Patton Oswald?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
From the King of Queens.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Well, you may be from the King of Queens, but I'm the King of Georgia. You better watch your pants, Patty eyes, Walt.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, Patton, you.
Patton Oswalt
I'm sorry, you're a wrestler or something?
Scott Aukerman
Give me this microphone.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, you have. It's right in front of you. You walked, right?
Scott Aukerman
Let me tell you, I have walked through the Dovas of Delaware. I have walked through the Memphis's of Tennessee.
Patton Oswalt
There's only one, I think.
Scott Aukerman
But I have walked through every single San Antonio of Texas to find you.
Patton Oswalt
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
And I come to knock them Wabby Parkers off. Your eyes, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Look, I didn't appreciate that we like to. Your Name's Tootie, by the way.
Scott Aukerman
You. Oh, you. Don't I remember me.
Patton Oswalt
I don't remember. You walked. Tootie walked right in. He knocks my glasses off my. My head and then started playing this song. What is that song?
Scott Aukerman
That's my theme music, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Theme music.
Scott Aukerman
Okay, Because I smell doo doo, Scott, and it's coming from that chair you sit your ass in.
Patton Oswalt
There's no doo doo, sir. I don't know what kind of chair.
Scott Aukerman
Is that, how much it costs. Scott, you live in this big, old, nice mansion with dragons and moats.
Patton Oswalt
To be honest, I never checked the price on the chair. It could have been $50. It could have been a million.
Scott Aukerman
I had to fight alligators. I had to fight crocodiles.
Patton Oswalt
You got to fight alligators.
Scott Aukerman
I got to come in here and tell you that. I'm not going nowhere, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
I don't.
Scott Aukerman
I'm back in your life.
Patton Oswalt
I don't even know.
Scott Aukerman
And I'm back in your ass.
Patton Oswalt
I don't know. We've never met before. I don't think. 1984 in Atlanta. What?
Scott Aukerman
The County Stadium.
Patton Oswalt
Fulton County Stadium. Where and you and I wrestled.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you don't remember the www. Wrestling. Wrestling. Wrestling.
Tootie Rivers
Again, I think it's spelled with. It's spelled with an R. Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Who is that talking right there again? That's Patton Oswald.
Scott Aukerman
Ah. From Ratatouille.
Patton Oswalt
Ratatouille. Yeah. Yeah. He's very concerned with things that start with ours.
Kevin Tullio
Tootie. Was that during the Olympics? Richard Jewell had his moment in the sun.
Scott Aukerman
No, Brother Pepper tone. That was 1996.
Tootie Rivers
Ah.
Patton Oswalt
12 years off.
Scott Aukerman
12 years a wrestler.
Patton Oswalt
Eddie considers everything pre Richard Jewel and post Richard Jewel. So it's good to put this into.
Scott Aukerman
This was pre Richard Jewel.
Tootie Rivers
I hate to interrupt. Is that your entrance music? When you enter the ring, is that what you walk into?
Scott Aukerman
Yes, that's absolutely right. Patty Owl's wall.
Patton Oswalt
And what's it about? It's about people smelling doo doo.
Tootie Rivers
Well, no, it's about him smelling doodoo.
Scott Aukerman
Because I scare the out of people.
Patton Oswalt
Oh.
Kevin Tullio
Now I got it.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. So when. When you enter the ring, your opponent or maybe even the crowd members, Everybody.
Scott Aukerman
In the crowd diarrheas at one time.
Patton Oswalt
I don't think I would want to go to this county stadium.
Scott Aukerman
You don't remember?
Patton Oswalt
I. I don't.
Tootie Rivers
I think he would have.
Patton Oswalt
I would have remembered that if a.
Tootie Rivers
Whole stadium would have.
Patton Oswalt
I don't even think I was born.
Scott Aukerman
Because I knocked him out so hard. I knocked him out so hard. I knocked each and every Tooth out his mouth.
Patton Oswalt
I definitely don't remember this, but, I mean, it could have been such a difficult, hard knockout that I got amnesia.
Scott Aukerman
All of Mississippi's rivers. I have crossed all the lakes in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Patton Oswalt
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
To find you, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, here I am. I mean, I've been here.
Scott Aukerman
Knock them Madewell jeans off your ass.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, no, you're not gonna be knocking any.
Tootie Rivers
Sorry if. Again, I don't want to interrupt. If you knocked Scott out so quickly in this match, you clearly defeated him. So what?
Scott Aukerman
Because they gave him the title.
Patton Oswalt
Why?
Tootie Rivers
Whoa, whoa.
Scott Aukerman
He don't even remember.
Tootie Rivers
I'm kind of on 2D side on this. If that's what happened.
Scott Aukerman
They cheated me.
Tootie Rivers
How? What did they do?
Scott Aukerman
Gave him the title. Why? Oh, I don't know why?
Patton Oswalt
Seems like if this is such a big deal, you'd know why. Because I certainly did.
Tootie Rivers
I can. May. I guess. I mean, if. If he caused a stadium full of people to defecate.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, maybe there was.
Scott Aukerman
I immediately was disqualified due to defecation by audience.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. I am.
Tootie Rivers
Is this something that happens at all? It feels like a thing that might happen in a lot of matches. Are you.
Scott Aukerman
I have wrestled Scott Aman about 14 times.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, my goodness.
Scott Aukerman
Would you like me to name all of the videos?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, please.
Tootie Rivers
Okay.
Patton Oswalt
1984, Fulton County.
Scott Aukerman
98 for Fulton County Stadium. 1986, the Omni in Milwaukee.
Patton Oswalt
The hotel.
Scott Aukerman
Yes. In the ballroom. 1988.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. We're on a two year cycle then.
Scott Aukerman
The Sheraton in Dover, Delaware.
Tootie Rivers
Okay, well, hang on. I think. I bet that's a small. Where? Where?
Kevin Tullio
Very small.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, it seems like we're going downhill.
Scott Aukerman
Right next to the continental breakfast.
Tootie Rivers
That is not where you want to make people lose balance.
Patton Oswalt
What happened in 1990?
Scott Aukerman
I burned you on the waffle machine. 1990, I took a break.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, it sounds like you did on 1989 as well. Yeah, and in 1985 and 1987.
Tootie Rivers
But what happened in 92?
Scott Aukerman
1992, I went to Barcelona for the Olympics.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, okay.
Scott Aukerman
Just to watch.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, then in 94.
Scott Aukerman
I love sports. I love sports and patriotism for each country.
Tootie Rivers
Now, when you. If you just go to a match to watch it, if you attend a sporting. You don't play that music when you enter to find your seat. Or do you?
Scott Aukerman
Every single goddamn time. Pat Alice, Walk. I do it for the people. I do it for the people who out there who've been cheated in their life like me. I do it for the people who are suffering like me.
Patton Oswalt
So you've won zero matches because Anytime you walk into a match, everyone diarrheas themselves. You get disqualified. Why? Why are you still in?
Scott Aukerman
I came on this hip program to get those rules changed after 41 years.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. I don't know. Do you do this when you walk into other places, like movie theaters and stuff?
Scott Aukerman
Oh, not unless I'm wrestling somebody.
Patton Oswalt
Okay.
Kevin Tullio
Are you a spokesperson for a modium?
Scott Aukerman
I should be.
Patton Oswalt
Eddie's putting together deals. He should be. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
That would.
Scott Aukerman
You should be my manager, Mr. Pepper. I'll do it.
Patton Oswalt
Well, that was the quickest yes I think I've ever heard.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, I only have 5% to give. Perhaps 7. Perhaps 7.
Kevin Tullio
Right.
Patton Oswalt
We'll talk. Yeah. These.
Kevin Tullio
Wow.
Patton Oswalt
I'm not quite sure. He seems like a handful.
Kevin Tullio
I'd like to do it over. Zoom. No, I don't want any complications.
Tootie Rivers
So you've just stuck strictly to wrestling? Or have you tried to cross over in MMA or anything like that? Or it's just wrestling for you.
Scott Aukerman
Just wrestling for me.
Tootie Rivers
Okay, I'm sorry. Wrestling.
Scott Aukerman
Wrestling. The people sport.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. So no. What's the difference between wrestling and mma? Just kicking. Is that a lot of things? I have no idea.
Scott Aukerman
I don't have time to describe that to you.
Patton Oswalt
But you don't like kicking or whatever the differences are.
Scott Aukerman
I'll kick if I need to. It's like, I'll kick that American Appel shirt off your chest right now.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, you've described inaccurately everything I'm wearing right now.
Scott Aukerman
What brand shirt is that?
Tootie Rivers
I.
Patton Oswalt
It's a T shirt.
Scott Aukerman
It's got a thin collar, so I know it's expensive.
Patton Oswalt
I think I got it at Target, whatever their brand is. Good reads, good read, Good reads, good reads, good reads.
Tootie Rivers
I didn't know they're making T shirts now.
Patton Oswalt
That's something.
Tootie Rivers
I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
Last time I went to Target, it was Massimo.
Patton Oswalt
Massimo. Oh, Massimo. What's his last name? Never mind. So look, I, I, I, I don't remember these.
Scott Aukerman
Well, Scott, I'm on you. I'm on you. I'm not going nowhere, Scott. I'm right here with you, Scotty. Oh, and you, Patty Oswald.
Patton Oswalt
I don't know.
Scott Aukerman
Eddie Peps.
Patton Oswalt
I, I, I, my manager. I mean, you're always welcome here. It is an an open door policy here on Comedy Bang Bang.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, it's gonna be an open door, Scott. When I open up the door to your soul.
Patton Oswalt
That actually sounds nice. That doesn't sound really threatening.
Scott Aukerman
It will be painful.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, okay.
Scott Aukerman
Because it would be a real soul and I have to go through your chest. So I have to go through your Goodreads T shirt and your Fruit of the Loom A shirt under there.
Patton Oswalt
My audible jockstrap. Your audible dot com jockstrap, and my Veeps dot com.
Scott Aukerman
Your veeps dot com comedy special.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, you're very. I gotta say, you're an older man. Yes. You're not that intimidating. You did slap my glasses off my head. And you were right about the brand, but that was good. But you. You are. I mean, you're kind of hunched over. You're kind of old and withered. You're not incredibly intimidating.
Scott Aukerman
I'm still very strong. I may be old and withered, but I'm still spry on the inside.
Patton Oswalt
What's the biggest thing you think you could pick up right now?
Scott Aukerman
Right now? This whole house.
Tootie Rivers
Wow. So he's old and withered, but he's old and with it.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, okay.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you.
Patton Oswalt
Okay.
Scott Aukerman
How would you like to be my manager, Mr. Patty?
Patton Oswalt
Wait, wait, wait. What percentage do you have to give?
Scott Aukerman
I mean, I only have four to six to give.
Patton Oswalt
Four to six? Oh, okay. That's very different.
Kevin Tullio
So we're done.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, I'm still giving you five to seven.
Tootie Rivers
All right.
Scott Aukerman
Wait a minute. This is sounding like a bad deal for me.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, that's right.
Patton Oswalt
You're like Dean Martin who gave away 110% of his income to all of his managers.
Tootie Rivers
Is that right?
Scott Aukerman
You'll get.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, God, you totally.
Scott Aukerman
I Met Dean Martin 1974.
Patton Oswalt
Oh.
Scott Aukerman
At the Riviera Hotel.
Patton Oswalt
Really?
Scott Aukerman
In Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tootie Rivers
That.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, that's where you would meet him.
Tootie Rivers
That is.
Patton Oswalt
What was that like? What. What was the meeting like?
Scott Aukerman
I told him I was gonna get Scotty Ox if it was the last thing I did.
Tootie Rivers
Were you born yet, Scott?
Patton Oswalt
No. I mean, I was. I was born in 96.
Scott Aukerman
Scott, don't lie about your age. That is unbelievable.
Patton Oswalt
Who are you? Emf.
Scott Aukerman
I. That's right, I am.
Patton Oswalt
Wait, I don't know about them. I'm too young.
Scott Aukerman
Emf.
Patton Oswalt
Every believe it's ecstasy, motherfuckers. But anyway, all right, look, Tudy. I. I don't remember you. I.
Scott Aukerman
You continue on with your program, I'm gonna be here the whole time.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, great. We. Can we get to our next guest?
Scott Aukerman
Is that our microphone? Yes.
Patton Oswalt
It's right in front of you.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, you don't need to grab it.
Patton Oswalt
Let's get to our next guest then. Let's see. I mentioned someone named Mumps is on the show. This is very exciting. Please welcome Mumps.
Mumps
Hey, Scott. It's really good to finally meet you in person.
Patton Oswalt
Hi. Yeah. I mean, look, I love meeting our guests. So wonderful to meet you. Mumps. This is Patton. This is Eddie.
Mumps
Oh, I know.
Patton Oswalt
This is a man named Tooty.
Scott Aukerman
Yah.
Patton Oswalt
And his catchphrase. Yah.
Tootie Rivers
I guess he's happy to hear his name.
Mumps
Scott, I don't want you to be distracted by these men here.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, okay. I'll focus on you. This is your segment to shine. Yeah. What are you here to talk about? About Mumps. What an unusual name.
Mumps
Mumps, is it?
Patton Oswalt
Well, I mean, it's usually. It's an affliction.
Mumps
Oh, I know. That's how I died.
Patton Oswalt
You what now?
Mumps
Scott, I am your guardian angel. I'm here to tell you something bad's gonna happen to you.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, my guardian angel? Really? I've heard about these things. Patton, have you heard about these. These guardian angels?
Tootie Rivers
I've heard about a. I've heard about guardian angels. I. I thought. Thought that they were just angelic being. I didn't know that they were someone who dies and then becomes a garden.
Mumps
Where do you think all these people, these angelic beings come from? There's not unlimited resources up there.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, I thought. I thought it was.
Patton Oswalt
So when you get to. When you get to heaven, you have to change your name to whatever you died of.
Mumps
Of course.
Patton Oswalt
So Clarence and It's a Wonderful Life.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. What did he die of?
Patton Oswalt
Clarence?
Mumps
Clarence.
Kevin Tullio
He was.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, a clearance sale.
Mumps
He was a clean.
Patton Oswalt
He died on Black Friday. He got stamped.
Mumps
He got. Got his head smushed.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, my God.
Mumps
He got his head smushed between Timberlands. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
Are you here to tell Scott that I'm going to knock the Ross Dress for Less socks off his feet?
Patton Oswalt
Listen, not too far off.
Mumps
I don't. I don't often know until the moment it's about to happen. Scott, you don't realize I've saved you a lot and I've never gotten a thank you.
Patton Oswalt
What? Like what. What are the examples of times you've saved me in my life?
Mumps
How about you want today?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. I don't remember anything happening today.
Mumps
Okay, you're welcome. You're literally welcome. Because nothing did happen today.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, well, I mean, what was gonna happen?
Mumps
Okay, so you woke up okay. You slipped right out of bed, fell on your head that I left because it was funny.
Patton Oswalt
Well, I would prefer that. Actually kind of hurt. I would prefer maybe you saved me from stuff like that.
Mumps
You need that stuff to keep you in check. Everything went perfect. I don't think you'd're not going to be.
Patton Oswalt
I would just be walking into the street with.
Mumps
Exactly. It's like how you should know a stove is hot.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, you know, so you didn't save me from that.
Mumps
I didn't save you from that because it was funny. So you slipped out of bed and you fell and you hit your head. As you were about to walk into the shower, there was a guy behind there.
Patton Oswalt
Behind. Behind where?
Mumps
Behind there?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, behind the shower.
Mumps
In your walls. You have a guy in your walls?
Patton Oswalt
I have a guy. I have a guy. Like a Bad Ronald style guy in my walls.
Mumps
Who is Bad Ronald?
Patton Oswalt
It's a movie that. I'm.
Mumps
Scott. I know your age. I've been with you.
Patton Oswalt
Hey, come on, moms, play it cool.
Mumps
I have your birth certificate.
Patton Oswalt
What are you doing?
Mumps
I have your birth certificate. I have to carry this around. Scott, give me that so I can.
Scott Aukerman
Rip it up, make sure Scotty Alt never existed.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, no.
Patton Oswalt
I'm gonna be deported. Or wait, you think ripping up a birth certificate means that? Yeah. Wait, I didn't ever existed?
Scott Aukerman
No, it means you get deported.
Mumps
Scott, there was a guy behind your shower today.
Tootie Rivers
Guy.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, so what did you do to stop the guy in my.
Kevin Tullio
You said I wasn't a contractor.
Patton Oswalt
It'd be very strange if I contract.
Mumps
I pray to God you hire your contractors and you don't let them live in your walls and come out.
Tootie Rivers
What?
Mumps
You know, when they see an issue.
Patton Oswalt
This guy was what? He was going to jump into the shower with me and. And murder me or what? What was going to happen?
Mumps
That's your fantasy, not mine.
Scott Aukerman
I should have thought of that.
Patton Oswalt
Instead of coming on the program.
Mumps
He was slowly increasing the temperature of your water every single day, so that one day when you took a shower, you'd be boiled alive and you never realized it.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, my God. That sounds like a terrible way to die.
Mumps
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
And you saved me from this. How did you. What? What'd you do?
Mumps
I squished him.
Patton Oswalt
You squished you what?
Mumps
Squished him. I squished him.
Tootie Rivers
You killed.
Patton Oswalt
You killed this guy?
Mumps
I squished him. He's in your wall, but he's gone. All right, Scott, that's just one of the things I did for you today.
Patton Oswalt
I. I always thought a guardian angel saved you. Like sort of gently pulled you back when you're about to walk in front of a bus or.
Mumps
You know, that's a stereotype.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, sorry, mumps. I. So you just. You killed someone who was gonna murder me.
Mumps
He's gonna murder you really slowly over Time. And I killed him.
Kevin Tullio
Well, can I ask you a question about the logistics?
Tootie Rivers
And I have a follow up. Yeah, but go ahead.
Scott Aukerman
I do have a question.
Kevin Tullio
Yes, I think we all do. About the hot water. Now, if it's incrementally going up, what about the shower right before him burning up? Isn't he gonna be. Have a lot of burns from it? That's where my head goes.
Patton Oswalt
Like logically, like it's not a binary thing. Like, you know, a shower is safe and shower burns.
Kevin Tullio
Yes, exactly.
Mumps
Yeah, you'd think that, wouldn't you?
Patton Oswalt
But you'd be a fucking idiot. You'd be a fucking idiot.
Mumps
You'd be a idiot.
Tootie Rivers
All right.
Patton Oswalt
Okay.
Mumps
You'd be a fucking.
Kevin Tullio
That's all I wanted.
Mumps
Do you know how strong the human skin is?
Tootie Rivers
No.
Mumps
Test it. Test it now.
Kevin Tullio
Ow.
Patton Oswalt
You just pinched yourself, Eddie.
Kevin Tullio
I know. I don't know how else to test.
Mumps
You might have weak skin. Most people, including Scott, have very strong skin. So it takes a long time if you. You can accustom yourself to burn burns. As someone who died of mumps, I know this.
Patton Oswalt
When did you die of mumps?
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, when did you die of mumps?
Patton Oswalt
Or ma'?
Tootie Rivers
Am?
Patton Oswalt
Excuse me, sir, or ma'? Am? I don't. I don't know your pronouns yet.
Mumps
And I'm not gonna tell you. I died of mumps in 1921. So I missed the Great Depression, which kind of sucked.
Tootie Rivers
And it sucks that you missed the.
Patton Oswalt
Great Depression or just the depression sucked in general?
Mumps
I. I wish I was there.
Tootie Rivers
Huh.
Mumps
Because it's like. It's like these big moments in history and you died just before it.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, I know.
Tootie Rivers
Yes.
Mumps
Doesn't that. That doesn't bum you out?
Tootie Rivers
I mean, I just kind of missing.
Patton Oswalt
That kind of hope. I die before the apocalypse. Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
I'm hoping I die soon.
Scott Aukerman
You can help with all of that.
Mumps
You don't want to see how you would react.
Tootie Rivers
I. I know I'd react badly.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. I've been around some tragedies and I see how I react. And yeah, I. I prefer you react.
Scott Aukerman
Like a yellow belly cow.
Patton Oswalt
Come on.
Scott Aukerman
Your skin is strong because it's yellow. I tell you how you act in the face of tragedy. You lay there and take the win when it's not yours. But tonight I'm coming back.
Patton Oswalt
I'm not doing shit with you tonight.
Tootie Rivers
I'm sorry.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
You're. You're saying this. This person in Scott's wall was incrementally increasing the temperature of the shower to boil him alive.
Mumps
Correct.
Tootie Rivers
How Long had this person been doing it before you intervened?
Mumps
I can only intervene. It's like a therapist, right? If you go to your therapist every day and you're like, I'm kind of to kill myself, really do anything until you stop saying kinda, I don't think. And then they have to. They have to be like, we gotta tie you out back.
Tootie Rivers
So they get on the phone and go, okay, he stopped saying kinda. Send somebody.
Patton Oswalt
So you've been following me around to my therapist as well? Is that what you're trying to say?
Mumps
Every day this man walks in and goes, well, I'm kind of going to kill myself today.
Kevin Tullio
Who goes to a therapist daily?
Patton Oswalt
What therapist would take on clients daily?
Tootie Rivers
But you. You let this person incrementally increase the temperature.
Mumps
I had to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Tootie Rivers
Maybe he would.
Mumps
Maybe he's gonna stop. Right. Because I can't control fate. Patent. Like, there's a lot of stuff happening to you. I see your guardian angel kind of playing and being like, let's see if it'll happen. Let's see if it. I need to intervene.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. Wait, where is my guardian angel right now?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, where's. Where's.
Scott Aukerman
Where the.
Kevin Tullio
Is my guardian angel?
Tootie Rivers
I mean.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, where's beheading?
Tootie Rivers
Is there a network of. Of. Of guardian angels?
Mumps
Absolutely. You only come to Earth when something really dire is going to happen. So I came to Earth this morning when that guy was going to kill you.
Patton Oswalt
So you've been hanging out up in heaven or wherever?
Mumps
I'm hanging out mostly because most of the stuff I can kind of do from afar, you know, remote working. It happened in Covid and stuff. Yeah, we have Zoom and stuff up there. So I've been doing stuff. Yeah. Zoom is an incredible telecommunication program. Yeah, it costs like $30 a month.
Kevin Tullio
What about Google Workplace?
Mumps
I don't like Google Workplace.
Patton Oswalt
It's a little buggy Skype, you know, just went out of business.
Tootie Rivers
It did.
Mumps
So sad. It's so arbitrary. Right?
Tootie Rivers
Okay, guys, we're kind of in the weeds right now. Can we get back?
Patton Oswalt
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Am I your first client? You.
Mumps
You're my first client.
Patton Oswalt
What were you doing in between 1922 and 1996 when I was born?
Mumps
Okay, Scott, I have your birth certificate.
Patton Oswalt
Shut the up, moms. Come on, man.
Mumps
Kids, listen, I know where you were.
Patton Oswalt
They want to think I'm cool.
Scott Aukerman
Do you know about 1984 at the Fulton County Stadium? Were you there to protect him?
Mumps
I may have been.
Scott Aukerman
Question number two.
Patton Oswalt
You don't have to number your questions, Tootie, you can just ask whatever.
Scott Aukerman
Is that squishy man's body still in Scott's wall? And would it start to stink?
Mumps
That squished man's body is in your wall. But you don't have to worry about that because it's your shower, so that's the place.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, it gets it cleaned.
Mumps
Well, yeah. It's gonna be the least. If it was like behind your bed, I would have. You know, you would have probably seen me this morning. Hanging out, taking the trash bag, moving that guy out.
Patton Oswalt
So you do clean up. If it's really gonna stink, it's bad.
Mumps
But if it's in the shower, it's like, do you need to wash your bar of soap?
Scott Aukerman
If he's getting water in the walls of his bathroom, he will develop mold.
Tootie Rivers
That is true.
Patton Oswalt
I think you're wrong on the science on this. I think the shower is the cleanest place in the house.
Scott Aukerman
I'll tell you what I'm wrong about, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
What's that?
Scott Aukerman
I'm wrong that I should have got here weeks ago before this squished man was in your walls. And I should have hid in your walls and smacked you on the ass when you getting out the shower.
Tootie Rivers
But then you would have been squished. It sounds like monster is very productive.
Mumps
I would have done.
Scott Aukerman
I'd like to see you try.
Mumps
You think you're so strong, Judy.
Scott Aukerman
This weekend.
Mumps
What?
Scott Aukerman
At the Sheraton.
Mumps
You want to fight me the rapids.
Scott Aukerman
I will.
Tootie Rivers
Are you challenging an angel to a fight?
Scott Aukerman
I challenge the angel. I challenge the devil. I challenge a dog and a cat.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, this didn't work out too well for Jacob Famous. Jacob wrestled the angel. Yeah, exactly.
Mumps
Do you ever wonder why your life is so hard?
Scott Aukerman
Please tell me, because I've been wondering since 84 Fulton County Stadium.
Mumps
Your guardian angel is pissed.
Scott Aukerman
At who? At you. Me.
Mumps
He's pissed at you, man.
Scott Aukerman
I have a second question.
Mumps
What?
Tootie Rivers
Why wait? Can you be assigned to guard someone that you don't like?
Mumps
Absolutely.
Tootie Rivers
How does that happen?
Mumps
You ever be in a group project with someone you think stinks?
Tootie Rivers
Oh, yeah. That's true. Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
That's a good point. I mean, as comedians were mainly solitary performers, right?
Tootie Rivers
Why do I got to prop this other.
Patton Oswalt
But then patent executive produced.
Mumps
Okay, this is a perfect example. Your Guardian Angel. Okay. CH2. Second person dive color.
Scott Aukerman
Sounds hot.
Patton Oswalt
Second person recolor too.
Tootie Rivers
Wow.
Kevin Tullio
Wow.
Mumps
Color. 2, 2.
Patton Oswalt
Rat. 2, 2.
Mumps
He's kind of is executive producing your life, right. But thinks he stinks. Imagine, let's say I'm sure your work is so amazing. I haven't seen it. I don't have beeps. Beeps is very expensive.
Patton Oswalt
Or it could be cheap. We have no idea what this thing is.
Tootie Rivers
Very reasonable.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
We have $12, please.
Kevin Tullio
See? My God.
Mumps
And I'm sure you're really funny, but let's say you hated his work. Wouldn't it be tough to executive produce? Wouldn't you almost want it to fail?
Tootie Rivers
Wouldn't I pass on exec producing it?
Patton Oswalt
But you can't pass because it was an assignment that. What if God, one of our Hollywood ambassadors like Sly Stallone and Mel John Voight assigns no to any of them.
Mumps
So my John Voight. Voight assign me to Scott.
Tootie Rivers
Well, you're John.
Patton Oswalt
You like me.
Tootie Rivers
God.
Mumps
My John void is God. And I like you. I think you're. You're trying.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, well, that's. I mean, that's the most ending of this.
Tootie Rivers
I don't think she hates. Well, sorry. He shelling mumps does sound a little exasperated with you.
Patton Oswalt
Right? But Cholera just hates Tootie Openly hate color too.
Mumps
Thinks you stink.
Scott Aukerman
I don't stink. I'll tell you who stinks.
Patton Oswalt
Things.
Mumps
Everybody around you because they're.
Patton Oswalt
Because of the diarrhea. Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
When I knock the common projects off his feet.
Mumps
Listen, listen, T. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. We got Cheers up up there, you know, Cheers. Yeah. We got our own bar. We. Cheers.
Patton Oswalt
Do you have your own nor. I mean, George Wentz, of course, a great friend of the show. He just passed away.
Mumps
We have George Went.
Patton Oswalt
George Wentz, the real George went. When he showed up, did everyone just go, norm?
Mumps
Yeah. And he got pissed.
Patton Oswalt
He's like, I thought I would escape that. Well, he's like, I'm changing my name to heart failure failure.
Tootie Rivers
He's also like, where was my. Where was my guardian angel looking after. Although, hang on. Tell me, if he died of heart failure, does someone have George Went as a guardian angel named heart failure?
Patton Oswalt
Yes. That's. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
Has he been assigned to someone yet?
Mumps
Oh, George Went is in line.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, he's in line.
Mumps
Heart failure is in line right now. He's the first person to die of heart failure. He's in line.
Patton Oswalt
Not sure. The math on that checks.
Mumps
They ideally try to match you, but sometimes it's kind of just like a. I don't know. Both of you are available at the same time, so we're waiting on a few people to drop, but if you're.
Patton Oswalt
In line, stay in line. Heart failure.
Mumps
Exactly.
Tootie Rivers
That's the sense I'm getting with. With moms and Scott, which is that just YouTube, I think.
Mumps
It wasn't just YouTube, but sometimes, you know, you're kind of like. You're a little good dynamic. You ever see. Do you have Rush Hour here?
Patton Oswalt
The movies.
Tootie Rivers
The movies.
Patton Oswalt
We have three of them. Is that how many there are up in heaven?
Mumps
Tons more.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, but that sounds fucking awesome.
Scott Aukerman
That sounds great. I can watch a black man, an Asian man, all day long.
Mumps
You know? And this is why color, too was kind of interested. Color, too is Asian. And he was interested in staying with you for a little bit of a rush hour effect. But we have a bunch of rush hours up there, and they're very funny for us. I don't know the reason you guys find them funny, but it's kind of a pairing you wouldn't put together. You don't know that they were.
Patton Oswalt
That's a lot of the reason why we like them down here.
Mumps
Interesting. Never seen yours, but up there. Yeah. It's a big part of it.
Patton Oswalt
Right? Interesting. Can I ask, how many people have you murdered to save me over the years?
Mumps
Today.
Patton Oswalt
No, over the course of my lifetime.
Tootie Rivers
Day.
Mumps
Okay, well, today, three. You're doing a lot of stuff you don't realize is bad, Scott. So Scott fell down his stairs. Funny. Didn't stop it.
Patton Oswalt
Thanks, by the way.
Mumps
And went to go pour himself some coffee. Ew. And so as he's putting it in his little Nespresso machine or whatever, he almost freaking burns himself. And you might think, oh, that's not a person you murdered. Murdered. It's another guy under your little cabinet.
Patton Oswalt
There's another guy who is under the Nespresso.
Tootie Rivers
Sorry. What do people need to do around Scott where you leap in and just.
Patton Oswalt
Murder them like this was another person.
Tootie Rivers
Is he always in danger or is like. Yeah, if someone cuts him off in a grocery line, what happens?
Scott Aukerman
Give me that microphone. I'll tell you, if Scott would have cut me off in a grocery line, I would stuff down his throat all the Granny Smith apples I just bought.
Mumps
Making pie. What are you doing? Those are tart.
Scott Aukerman
I eat. Of course they are.
Patton Oswalt
Tart. Tart.
Mumps
Hate it.
Patton Oswalt
Love that word.
Scott Aukerman
Great source of fiber.
Tootie Rivers
It just seems like you kind of have an itchy trigger finger as far as.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Are you kidding?
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
I don't want to feel responsible for the. The deaths of hundreds calling him alive.
Tootie Rivers
That's. That's legit. I get it. But yeah.
Patton Oswalt
A guy underneath my floor.
Tootie Rivers
Who have you intervened with?
Mumps
Well, Scott, do you remember your 11th grade English teacher?
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. No, yeah, I do, actually.
Mumps
Yeah. Mr. McCarthy.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Mr. McCarthy. Yeah, Mr. M, we used to call him.
Mumps
It's a nice nickname.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Sometimes Double M. Because of the mister, Right? Yeah. M squared. Sometimes we walk in and go, m squared, what's up?
Mumps
Yeah, that's funny.
Patton Oswalt
He's a great guy.
Mumps
And M squared, he'd go, what? He's an English teacher.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. Oh, but, yeah, he doesn't know Matt Math.
Mumps
Scott. One time he was giving you a hard time about a paper, Right?
Patton Oswalt
Right.
Mumps
This is maybe my only oopsie. He said he's giving. Gonna give you a D minus. And you got mad. You said, why? I worked really hard on this. I read War and Peace. It's really long. Isn't that impressive? Which. That's what Scott was kind of like in high school, you know, kind of being like, I'm impressive.
Tootie Rivers
I get it.
Patton Oswalt
Right? Okay, yeah. Enough of the.
Mumps
Do you want to know where he was in high school? Because I have his birth certificate.
Patton Oswalt
Come on, moms. Back on track.
Mumps
But I gave that guy kind of the what's what, you know, after you. After you left 11th grade.
Patton Oswalt
After. Why not before? He gave me the D minus. Because he did give me the D minus.
Mumps
He wasn't an F. You see? I'm not crazy.
Patton Oswalt
But you killed him after I left 11th grade.
Mumps
I said it was an oopsie. Why are we all mad?
Scott Aukerman
You should be grateful.
Tootie Rivers
Why are we.
Scott Aukerman
She stopped him from touching you on your private parts.
Mumps
Exactly. He could have been a pedophile.
Patton Oswalt
He could never even. He wasn't. He was a nice teacher that I like. Square.
Mumps
I've killed a lot of teachers that could have been pedophiles to you. How many said, thank you, first grade teacher. That would have been super pedophilia when you're really little.
Tootie Rivers
Okay, but was the teacher a pedophile?
Patton Oswalt
Not.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. I feel terrible. I feel like. I feel like I'm walking around and it's a death sentence for anyone I come into contact with.
Mumps
And it's if they're contacting you and if you're a child, which you kind of claim you are, but I got the birth certificate. I'm not gonna.
Patton Oswalt
Please, Moms, tell me you're not gonna kill these three here. Who on the. Any great friends of mine? Patton and Eddie. And I'm looking down at his name, Tootie Rivers.
Scott Aukerman
Give me that microphone. You can't kill me. God. An angel of mumps.
Patton Oswalt
Why not?
Scott Aukerman
See, you try.
Mumps
Tootie, I gotta tell you, your guardian angel is off the clock. He does not like to work with you.
Scott Aukerman
Maybe that's why I've been getting cheated by Scotty Hawks.
Mumps
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
In the wrestling ring since 1984.
Mumps
He says it's embarrassing when we. When we're at heaven. Cheers.
Scott Aukerman
Cheers.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. You guys just call it Cheers. Yeah.
Mumps
When he's in heaven. Cheers. He's going. We're all talking. We're all train chop. You go. You guys go to a bar and talk about, I don't know, a joke you said.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, sure, pretty much.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. I'm hung out with Eddie and bars. That's pretty much the conversation.
Kevin Tullio
Hey, I did this bit.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, yeah.
Mumps
And then someone goes, cool.
Patton Oswalt
And you leave. Yeah. These are the exact conversations that we have.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, I think. Where are you going?
Tootie Rivers
Sounds like Mumps is on the job and Cholera is just not Cholera, too. Cholera, too. Sorry.
Mumps
Cholera is fantastic.
Patton Oswalt
Who's Cholera?
Tootie Rivers
Yeah, who does?
Patton Oswalt
The guardian angel of Lenny Kravitz. Whoa, whoa. He was maybe taking a break that time he split his pants open and his dong fella.
Scott Aukerman
Guess what?
Mumps
No, he wasn't. Huge publicity bump, am I right?
Patton Oswalt
I mean, people love Lenny Kravitz now.
Kevin Tullio
Because of a wardrobe malfunctioning.
Patton Oswalt
His. His. His whammy bar just came out there.
Scott Aukerman
While doing a dance, and some leather pants and his dangling started jingling.
Mumps
A guy was backstage.
Tootie Rivers
You know, he just dropped some bars there. Thank you.
Scott Aukerman
Thank you, Mr.
Patton Oswalt
Petty House.
Kevin Tullio
You wrestle with the English language.
Tootie Rivers
So you're saying that guardian angel is like, you know what? His. His record sales are plateauing. What can we do here?
Mumps
Well, and the guardian angel saw a guy going backstage, trying to cut open his leather pants. Almost stopped him, then said, hold up. Gonna be good for record sales. So let the plants split on stage. His penis fell out.
Patton Oswalt
Did Cyndi Lauper's Guardian angel make the bird poop fall in her mouth while she was singing as well?
Mumps
Absolutely. So there was a guy that was squeezing a bird up in the rafters on top of the concert venue. You know, she and they were squeezing the bird and he thought, wait a minute, maybe I gotta stop that. Maybe I have to stop that. But then he said, hold on, this is going to be good. Pub for sin.
Patton Oswalt
Right, Right.
Mumps
Let him squeeze it. Fell in right in her mouth.
Patton Oswalt
I think none of us were listening because we were all just laughing at the memory of this happening.
Mumps
It's pretty unreal, right? I know we're doing a lot of stuff.
Tootie Rivers
Now that you point it out this way, it does feel like something a g. It would have to be arranged by some kind of celestial being.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, exactly. Remember that lollipop stick that. That went into David Bowie's eye while. What? Look up a picture of it.
Tootie Rivers
Are you kidding me?
Patton Oswalt
He's like, singing into a microphone and a stick is just his eye. Yeah. Someone threw it. In any case, it sounds to me. Sounds to me more like these guardian angels are like PR people. Up there in heaven for people.
Mumps
We get 10%. You. You don't notice.
Patton Oswalt
I. I mean, I. I've wondered where all my money is going. It's going up there to heaven. To you.
Mumps
I take 10%. Baby.
Tootie Rivers
What do you need money in heaven for?
Mumps
It's like a status thing.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, just.
Mumps
I don't know. Is it like that down here?
Patton Oswalt
Sort of.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, it's definitely like that down here.
Patton Oswalt
You're right in front of me.
Scott Aukerman
It's definitely like that down here. Cause Mr. Scotty Hawks walk around parading his money all the time. All the time. He walk around. Look at those headphones he got on Beats by Dre.
Patton Oswalt
Yes, I exclusively listen to Beats by Dre while I'm performing the show. Well, look, mumps, we have to take a break. I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I don't know that I love you. Of. I mean, it's. How many people have died? Thousands. Today. No, no, I'm talking about the. Stop saying today. I'm talking about my entire life.
Mumps
Well, all your teachers gone.
Patton Oswalt
Every teacher. Who's that? I mean, you're welcome.
Mumps
You're welcome. I didn't want you to get sexually harassed at work, so anyone you worked in an office with gone horrible.
Patton Oswalt
I'm so many dead.
Mumps
You're welcome. Have you ever been sexually harassed at work?
Patton Oswalt
No, but I thought that was because I'm ugly.
Mumps
Scott. No, all these people were itching. They were into me to sexually harass.
Patton Oswalt
God damn it. Well, why did you let them?
Mumps
They were moments away. Moments away. I could tell.
Patton Oswalt
I've been lonely my entire life. Yeah, well, look, we gotta take a break, Moms. Can you stick around?
Mumps
Yes, and I have to.
Patton Oswalt
All right, well, we're gonna take a break. We'll be right back with more Eddie Pepitone, more Patton Oswalt, more Tutti Rivers, more Mumps. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang.

I'm staying right here.
Patton Oswalt
That's fine.
Scott Aukerman
And I'm going to knock that Eureka's Castle tattoo right off your left ass cheek, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Okay? Please don't. That's my one possession that I cherish above all the rest.
Scott Aukerman
Cuz my time has come. The people's time has come.
Patton Oswalt
Okay? You represent the people. You're the one causing diarrhea. Any arena you go into cleaning out their guts. I guess it is a lot like a. Yeah. What do you call those?
Scott Aukerman
A diuretic.
Patton Oswalt
I guess so. I like diarrheas. Right in the title of that. It's very clear. It's good messaging, you know what I mean? We also have mumps. My guardian angel is here. Have. Have. Did you kill anyone during the break by chance?
Mumps
There. It was necessary, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Who's dead now?
Mumps
There was a guy. There was a guy in the wall outside and it.
Patton Oswalt
Why are there so many guys in my walls?
Mumps
Oh, I have to be a guardian angel and a contractor. Who? My Jesus. Get out of here. Get out of here.
Patton Oswalt
That's a good joke, by the way.
Tootie Rivers
That is really good.
Mumps
Stop. No. Stop. No, it was good.
Patton Oswalt
It was good. Were you a comedian in the 20s or what did you do when you were alive? Mumps.
Mumps
What did I do? No, you don't want to know.
Patton Oswalt
No, I do, mom. But what was your name? What did you do?
Mumps
My name was Sam.
Patton Oswalt
And I. San Sam. Annum.
Tootie Rivers
Sam. Adam.
Mumps
Sam Adam.
Kevin Tullio
Sam.
Mumps
Adam and I used to. I drove the first Ford around.
Patton Oswalt
The first four. The first one.
Mumps
The Model T. The Model T. You're.
Patton Oswalt
You're that guy.
Mumps
I was the guy.
Tootie Rivers
I'm sorry, were you a delivery person or your job was just to drive the first Ford around?
Mumps
So I was kind of a model and I drove it around to make sure people. Because people were freaked out when cars came out.
Tootie Rivers
Out.
Mumps
You don't.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Mumps
Scott might remember, but the rest of you might not. But like, come on. When cars came out, people were scared. It was like. It was like, what if there was a scarier horse?
Tootie Rivers
Yes.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
That's what I terrify. I call cars scarier horses.
Mumps
Absolutely.
Tootie Rivers
Always called them that.
Mumps
A kind of uncontrollable horse.
Tootie Rivers
And if you want them to catch on, you can't have people see ugly people driving. You got to find a model.
Mumps
Yeah, so they. The original model t had an ugly person driving it.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, so you weren't the first. You were.
Mumps
No, I was the replacer.
Patton Oswalt
Smith.
Mumps
This guy hid the us. Hidd us.
Patton Oswalt
Just put a bag over it.
Mumps
I don't even think a bag would help because of the shape underneath.
Patton Oswalt
Just a. You guys didn't have the term fugly back then, but that's what we've come to call it now.
Mumps
Oh, that sounds like pasta. What is that?
Patton Oswalt
Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Eddie's back.

Patton Oswalt
Oh, wait, no. Who is this?

Kevin Tullio
I'm sorry, I. Kevin Tutulio and I just want to promote my bakery.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, we didn't have you booked on the show today, so I know.
Kevin Tullio

Patton Oswalt
Okay, yeah, feel free. It's an open door policy. You have a bakery somewhere? Where are you from?
Kevin Tullio
It's in New York City.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, okay.
Kevin Tullio
And me and my wife were on vacation here. We're trying to see Backdraft, but we can't find the.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, the Universal Studios Backdraft.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, they took it out.
Kevin Tullio
Yes, I know. We're very disappointed.
Patton Oswalt
What did they replace it with the Mario Karts or something like that?
Scott Aukerman
No, the Mario roller coaster.
Patton Oswalt
The roller coaster is there instead.
Scott Aukerman
Just like Mario. I'm gonna jump on your turtle shell, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Okay. Please do.
Scott Aukerman
New York City at the Millennium Hilton, Times Square.
Kevin Tullio
Why do you fight in so many hotels?
Scott Aukerman
They got great ballroom.
Kevin Tullio
Well, I find them relaxing hotels.
Tootie Rivers
Yes.
Patton Oswalt
I sleep in them a lot.
Kevin Tullio
I sleep. I go to the pool.
Patton Oswalt
The two main things you do in hotels.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, I go to the pool. I like going to the fitness center. Even though they're depressed. Yeah, the fitness center.
Patton Oswalt
They are. Yeah. The most depressing room in the hotel usually.
Kevin Tullio
Yes, I go to a fitness center and what I like to do is eat my cannolis.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, so you make cannolis?
Kevin Tullio
I make them homemade, Scott. That's why I'm Here, I want to talk to people about the lost art of the cannoli. You take a cream and then you make it.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, that's not very specific instructions.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, well, I'm going to give you my secret.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, that's true.
Kevin Tullio
You and a suck on my dick. All right, I'm kidding about that.
Patton Oswalt
I, I wasn't going to take you up on it if you were worried, but no.
Kevin Tullio
You ever watch Stanley Tucci Trips around Italy?
Patton Oswalt
I have, yeah. It's a great program. A friend of mine told him he should do that.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, yes, yes, I heard that.
Patton Oswalt
Anyway, Anyway, folks.
Kevin Tullio
Anyway, please come to my, my bakery. It's called Tulio.
Patton Oswalt
Tulio's in what part of New York City?
Kevin Tullio
We.
Patton Oswalt
Not.
Kevin Tullio
We don't know.
Tootie Rivers
I'm sorry, does the bakery exist? No. No.
Kevin Tullio
I'm sorry.
Tootie Rivers
What's happening?
Kevin Tullio
I'm, I'm. I'm scared.
Tootie Rivers
I.
Scott Aukerman
You a yellow belly cow. I thought I smelled. You know what?
Kevin Tullio
You're confrontational, son.
Patton Oswalt
You haven't diarrheaed yourself, have you? Well, I mean, I don't mean that has nothing to do. I don't mean in your entire life. I mean right now. Oh, okay, okay.
Kevin Tullio
No, not right now. I'm on Imodium.
Patton Oswalt
Okay, so. So, you know, you don't have a bakery. It's an imaginary bakery or it's an aspirational bakery. What exactly.
Kevin Tullio
What is in aspiration?
Tootie Rivers
You're dreaming of opening a bakery.
Kevin Tullio
I'm thinking of opening a bakery.
Tootie Rivers
So why are you so.
Patton Oswalt
You're not even dreaming about it.
Tootie Rivers
You're thinking you're going to happen.
Kevin Tullio
Thinking. My wife says I never follow through. So I thought if I come a podcast and say, come to my bakery, I'd have to.
Patton Oswalt
It would light a fire.
Tootie Rivers
Say. Well, once you say something on a podcast.
Patton Oswalt
That's true. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Patton Oswalt
So, I mean, unfortunately, this is going out right now and it.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, when is this go? I thought this wasn't going to come out for about five years.
Tootie Rivers
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, I gotta get a cracking.
Patton Oswalt
I don't think you're gonna be. I mean, first of all, you sound like Harry Hamlin in Clash of the Title. Yes, but secondly, I don't know who that is. But secondly, I, I, I. It takes a long time to do these kind of things. I don't think that you're going to be able to open a bakery. Maybe a popup.
Tootie Rivers
Can I just say this fear and hesitation, like if you, you had like a. I don't know, like a Guardian angel to look, to guide you.
Mumps
Oh, no, I got to be everybody's guardian angel.
Tootie Rivers
No, no, no, no, I wasn't.
Patton Oswalt
Are you taking on any clients?
Mumps
Do you want two full time jobs? Maybe three full time jobs?
Patton Oswalt
Well, Patton is a standup comedian, he's an actor, and he's a loving father and husband.
Scott Aukerman
He's my manager and, and Tudy's manager.
Tootie Rivers
Remember that happened?
Patton Oswalt
Okay, you're gonna get 4 to 6%.
Mumps
Oh, listen, I'm. If you have someone better to offer me, I'm willing to trade in Scott. I'll say that. Now.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, first of all, I, I, I don't love the deaths that are happening around me. But if there are this many people hiding in my walls, do you have.
Mumps
Someone that appreciates me?
Patton Oswalt
Or do you.
Mumps
Or do you only have people that are.
Tootie Rivers
I'm just annoyed if you go with Tulio because it's going to take a lot of people for you to open this thing. But if you take on mumps as your guardian angel, there's just going to be deaths around you everywhere.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, a lot of the permitting process, you know, all the people, the red tape standing in your way.
Kevin Tullio
Hey, to the red tape.
Tootie Rivers
Okay?
Patton Oswalt
Would you kill all of the, the people in the mayor's office who are like standing in the way of this.
Mumps
Bakery opening if they were standing in a way that I viewed as potentially pedophilic to you, like you have a hang up about. I would absolutely kill them and smoosh them. Them dead.
Scott Aukerman
Release the Aukerman list.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, you were.
Mumps
I have the Aukerman list. It's stapled to his birth certificate.
Kevin Tullio
You know, not the many. Not many people want to be teachers. And you're eliminating teachers.
Patton Oswalt
It sounds like you have an issue about this. Like in the 20s, I mean, you were a model in the 20s. I don't know.
Mumps
I was a model in the 20s, okay? I replaced an ugly person.
Patton Oswalt
Right.
Tootie Rivers
What was the modeling world like in the twenties?
Patton Oswalt
Was it as predatory as it is?
Mumps
It was incredibly predatory. It was beautiful. Well, if you were just, if you were just a hot young buck.
Patton Oswalt
Wait, you were the predator? Yes.
Mumps
Why do you think I know so much about them?
Patton Oswalt
Oh, you're trying to atone.
Mumps
I can spot a predator because I am a predator. I can see the behavior. I see the hand gestures, Patton. I can see what people are doing. I can see pre crime, okay?
Kevin Tullio
Pre crime, that's a new Netflix category.
Patton Oswalt
You know, who better to catch a predator than a predator himself? That's why I've Never trusted that Chris Hansen guy, that is.
Mumps
He needs to do the work.
Patton Oswalt
Work.
Tootie Rivers
Yes, but then. But then. Okay, if this is something you're so upset, then why would. I'm sorry, why. Why would t. Over here?
Patton Oswalt
Or are you talking about Kevin?
Mumps
Why's guardian angel not interested in him?
Tootie Rivers
Yes, exactly. What. What's going on?
Mumps
You tell me. You guys go to bars, right? You talk about a joke? We talked about this.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, no, that was a different.
Kevin Tullio
Oh, no, that was not me.
Mumps
Oh, yeah, I don't know you guys.
Patton Oswalt
Kevin Tulio goes to bars and talks about the last cannoli.
Mumps
You go, hey, I made some cream today. They go, yeah, whatever.
Kevin Tullio
I go there to forget.
Tootie Rivers
But so, so, so, Tooties, what's going on there?
Mumps
So at our cheers, we're swapping stories. I get to say, oh, Scott Aerman, comedy legend, bumped his head today. And it was funny. It was really very flattering. It was really funny. And I get to be.
Patton Oswalt
I guess you don't see that kind of thing when you're living it, but from the outside perspective, that's.
Mumps
Yeah, in heaven, you're a legend. On earth, I don't know, a lunatic.
Patton Oswalt
All right, maybe.
Scott Aukerman
Knock, knock. Pull back.
Tootie Rivers
Pull back.
Patton Oswalt
Wait, wait, wait.
Scott Aukerman
Knock. Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Who's this?
Scott Aukerman
Hey, it's your old pal.
Patton Oswalt
Who? Wait. Sir, step into the light. Who. Who are you?
Scott Aukerman
You can't recognize me? It's me, yours truly.
Patton Oswalt
It's not O.J. is it?
Scott Aukerman
Yes, it absolutely is, Scott.
Patton Oswalt
Hey, O.J. simpson.
Scott Aukerman
I got a summons to be a guardian angel.
Patton Oswalt
What? Oh, no, My. Sorry, guys. Patton and Kevin Tulio and mumps, this is O.J. simpson. He was.
Kevin Tullio
Hello, O.J.
Patton Oswalt
Football player, fellas. Football player in the 70s and 80s. And then he was in the Naked Gun. And then I lost track of what he was up to in the 90s.
Tootie Rivers
Sports memorabilia enthusiast.
Patton Oswalt
Sure. Yeah.
Tootie Rivers
I love very into sports memorabilia.
Mumps
Old age.
Scott Aukerman
Old age. I'm an older guy. Yeah.
Mumps
How did you die again?
Scott Aukerman
Me? Oh, also. Also heart stuff, I believe.
Patton Oswalt
Heart stuff. Is that your new name, heart stuff?
Kevin Tullio
You died of a guilt, my friend.
Scott Aukerman
Guilt about what? Oh, because I got my stuff back. Yeah.
Mumps
You stole your stuff back.
Scott Aukerman
I got it. Yeah, you know, not everybody's perfect, Scott. I didn't even realize this was your address. I thought I had it memorized.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, please don't say it over the air. But so wait.
Scott Aukerman
1313 Mockingbird Lane.
Patton Oswalt
Come on, don't give away my assassination coordinator. Look, O.J.
Tootie Rivers
Mumps, get ready. You're gonna have a busy weekend. That's all I'm saying.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah. So you got a call to be what?
Scott Aukerman
To be a guardian angel?
Mumps
Scott, this is so awkward.
Patton Oswalt
Wow. You're quitting mumps?
Mumps
While we were talking just now, I put in my resignation to Mumps to Jon Voight. I've just kind of. I'm tired.
Patton Oswalt
Jon Voight? Is that what you call God?
Mumps
I'm just kind of too bh. Sick of it. I don't get any appreciation from you. And I'm so tired of all the people I have to kill for you to be safe.
Patton Oswalt
Look, I'm sorry. That must be horrifying to have to murder that many people. But I. I do appreciate you moms. I. Look.
Mumps
Hey, get to.
Tootie Rivers
You.
Patton Oswalt
T. Might come over over here for a second.
Scott Aukerman
It must be horrible to murder people.
Patton Oswalt
OJ's a. I feel like OJ is too close to me to be able to do this job correctly like you guys are. I don't think he has the heart for. For it, you know, to. To. To really keep me safe and do what you've been doing the hard work of murdering people.
Mumps
Oh, my God. I pro. You're in good hands with oj. He's really sweet. He's very attentive in kind of a. Like, a scary way. He's gonna pay attention to you a lot.
Tootie Rivers
Super attentive.
Patton Oswalt
I just. I worry that, you know, like, if someone were to. To be rude to me, you know, like, I go to a restaurant and a waiter is rude to me or something, he's not gonna have a heart to do anything to a waiter as.
Scott Aukerman
Long as he doesn't leave his glass.
Mumps
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
You're worried like Eddie Pepitone did.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, Eddie Peppertone left his glass. I guess I gotta go take him back.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, no, no, no.
Tootie Rivers
That's okay.
Mumps
You're worried.
Kevin Tullio
It's okay.
Mumps
You're worried I just. Too soft for you.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, he's too soft. He's a good buddy of mine. Yeah.
Mumps
Yeah. Listen, listen. I think you're gonna have an incredible time with him. He is a big sweetie. But I think this could be helpful. I think this could be helpful for you to switch energies, because I'm your kind of standard, tough guy guy, tough guy guardian angel. And maybe you need a big softie, because I think. I think. I think you're too delicate for me. You're crying about all these teachers I killed, and you're not being cool about it, and you keep bringing it up, and it's just like. It's like we're already over it.
Patton Oswalt
Look, I'm sorry. I know. Everybody dies and maybe you're just accelerating that for people.
Mumps
Totally.
Patton Oswalt
I, I feel bad. Moms, I don't want you to leave. I, I Look, Moms, I, I appreciate you. I thanks, thank you, Moms.
Scott Aukerman
I haven't seen you at the bar in days.
Mumps
Oh, O.J. it's Ah, I'm trying, I'm on an antibiotic.
Scott Aukerman
Oh, you're on antibiotic?
Mumps
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
You got something going on?
Mumps
Yeah.
Scott Aukerman
B.V. b.V. What is.
Patton Oswalt
What? Hey, I'm over here too. What is B.V. big, big virus. Big, big virus.
Scott Aukerman
That's something that's going around up here.
Tootie Rivers
Hey, you guys whispering about something?
Patton Oswalt
Come on.
Kevin Tullio
What's going on?
Patton Oswalt
Patton, come over.
Tootie Rivers
Oh yeah, mom says BV she's got a big virus.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, big virus.
Mumps
So I can't drink cuz I'm on an antibiotics.
Kevin Tullio
Oh yeah.
Mumps
And sometimes when you go to the bar, I don't know if you ever have this, you're like, I should just get a drink, but I don't want a drink.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, yeah.
Mumps
And then you're like, I'll get a seltzer with bitters. But bitters has alcohol.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, oh, bitters has alcohol in it. I just thought it something bitter.
Mumps
Yeah, actually, I actually don't know. I'm kind of talking out of my ass.
Tootie Rivers
Oh. Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
I thought it was just something. Yeah, but I mean, I'm not a mixologist, gist or anything.
Scott Aukerman
Addicted to bitters.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, Kevin, you're over here too.
Kevin Tullio
Now we're gonna serve the beaters in, in my bakery.
Patton Oswalt
In the cannolis?
Kevin Tullio
No, no, we're gonna have a little bar, a bitters.
Patton Oswalt
Just a bitters bar.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Kevin Tullio
I don't want to say it too loud.
Tootie Rivers
You don't want someone stealing your idea.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, Bitters bar. No bakery has it.
Mumps
No bakery.
Kevin Tullio
No bakery.
Scott Aukerman
I could be the spokesperson for your bakery.
Kevin Tullio
I would love it.
Mumps
You want OJ Simpson or Tootie to be the spokesperson?
Scott Aukerman
Give me that microphone.
Patton Oswalt
Tutti, you've been really silent here.
Scott Aukerman
I can be the spokesperson of your bar.
Kevin Tullio
I, I take a pass on that. I want O.J. to be there.
Patton Oswalt
O.J. did it sounds like you have a lot of work here with Kevin Tulio's bakery and his bitters bar. I don't know that you have time to be my guardian angel.
Scott Aukerman
I got news for you, Scott. I'll always be watching.
Patton Oswalt
Well, I appreciate that, O.J. are you saying that you want me to take care?
Scott Aukerman
I think I am.
Patton Oswalt
Oh my God, that's so nice. Thank you so much. And mumps I really want you to stick around. Is that okay? And I want you to do without all the heavy sighing and the. You know, I want you to improve your attitude as well. Is that okay? All right.
Mumps
No.
Patton Oswalt
Well, then, no deal.
Scott Aukerman
We don't know what gender mumps is. But let me tell you, all the sighing and stuff makes it seem like a woman.
Patton Oswalt
Hey, come on now, OJ.
Mumps
OJ's a little sweetie to women up in heaven and down here. What a little.
Scott Aukerman
Dude, Scott, you and I come from a different generation.
Patton Oswalt
I know, but that's such good friends.
Tootie Rivers
OJ's in heaven. You've seen him Up.
Patton Oswalt
Kidding.
Tootie Rivers
Okay, I'm a little confused.
Scott Aukerman
I repented for stealing my stuff.
Mumps
Charisma King. Charisma King.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, Riz gets you a lot up there.
Tootie Rivers
It really does.
Mumps
Oh, boy.
Scott Aukerman
Patton Oswald. I love your work. Hey, Patton, do you remember one time you probably didn't know who the guests were that were using your name to get in this place, but there's a nice restaurant in Chicago that you made a big reservation for, and you did a really nice thing, and they had great truffle popcorn. The best truffle popcorn I ever had.
Patton Oswalt
That's right. This is with me as well.
Scott Aukerman
Yeah, it was with Scott Haukerman and O.J. simpson. And I kept going around that place saying, I'm a friend of Pat.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, I. I just said Scott Aukerman plus one.
Kevin Tullio
I didn't.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, no, I. I brought OJ with me, and OJ went around telling everyone that you. You sort of were the reason that we were there. I hope that's okay.
Tootie Rivers
Staff or the other diners?
Patton Oswalt
Oh, everyone. That was everyone. Yeah, he made a big announcement. I remember you got on top of the piano.
Scott Aukerman
Donald's on the piano, did a tap dance.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, that was. That was a bonus.
Mumps
Yeah, your guardian angel uses your name up there, too. A lot of Russia.
Patton Oswalt
Who is Patton's guardian angel? Do you mind me asking?
Mumps
Yeah. Did you guys know of a celebrity called.
Patton Oswalt
Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein.
Mumps
Did you know of a celebrity down here called Jeffrey Epstein?
Patton Oswalt

Mumps
He's called Murder or Suicide.
Tootie Rivers
Oh, they don't even know.
Mumps
They won't release it.
Patton Oswalt
They won't el. Oh. Even up there. But, hey, at least those MLK files came out. I'm. I'm satisfied.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
Well, look, guys, we're running out of time here. We only have time for. I'm so sorry, Kevin. We barely got to talk about your imaginary bakery.
Kevin Tullio
That's okay.
Patton Oswalt
But we only have time for one Final feature. And that's a little something call Plugs.

Patton Oswalt
How many people are living in my walls right now?
Mumps
That's not my job anymore. That's OJ's job, by the way.
Tootie Rivers
It doesn't sound like they're living.
Patton Oswalt
By the way. Are these. Are these people or are these rats?
Mumps
What are people here? People.
Patton Oswalt
I am a. I'm a person person. I have you. Yeah. Are these rats in my walls?
Scott Aukerman
Give me this microphone. You're not no person. You a yellow bellied coward.
Patton Oswalt
All right, Tootie, come on.
Mumps
You have a lot of pedophilic rats, I guess, living in your wall.
Patton Oswalt
It sounds like you're just an exterminator. Like a heavenly exterminator.
Mumps
Whoa.
Patton Oswalt
Yeah, I. I actually. I am very grateful that you're killing all the rats in my walls. So if. If you want to stick around.
Mumps
I'm not, but I would like to promote. Rekha Shankar has a podcast called we are Dead that is actually kind of pertaining to my whole thing, which is people in the afterlife doing a little talk show. It's really fun. It's out on YouTube and wherever we get you podcasts.
Patton Oswalt
All right, fantastic. And Kevin Tutullio.
Kevin Tullio
How are you, Scott?
Patton Oswalt
I'm doing good. I feel like we barely got to talk to you.
Kevin Tullio
I'm losing the accent, but I can't.
Patton Oswalt
Tell if it's culturally insensitive or. But you're just a guy from.
Kevin Tullio
I'm just a guy. Anyway. From the north, maybe the south. Who the hell knows? Anyway, I'd like to say I want to plug something for Eddie Pepiton.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, yeah.
Tootie Rivers
Kevin, are there any comedy specials out that you're excited about? Yes, yes.
Kevin Tullio
The Collapse.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, I love the Collapse.
Kevin Tullio
I love it. I love this one. It's such anxiety ridden, yet absurd, cartoony. You know, life affirming, yet life destroying. It has each instinct, as Freud said. We have destructive instinct and creative. And it's all in one special, the Collapse. And Eddie is touring as well. He'll be at the Earl in Atlanta on August 1st. He'll be at Montaco in Durham August 2nd. Then he goes to the Catskills. Then it goes to Washington D.C. and then he goes to Pottstown, Pennsylvania. So go to his website, Eddie pepton.com. he's touring around you.
Patton Oswalt
Oh, okay.
Tootie Rivers
Yeah.
Patton Oswalt
But if you don't want to do that, you can just watch the special, right? Same stuff, right? Oh, I hope not. I hope.
Scott Aukerman
But not.
Patton Oswalt
I mean, you're not an expert on Eddie, but I mean, you know all of his dates.
Kevin Tullio
Yes, I know all of his dates because, you know, I love him, but I think there's going to be a lot of differences.
Patton Oswalt
Would you say you're the number one Eddie Pepitone fan? Probably. The.
Tootie Rivers
The Earl is such a good room. And imagining Eddie Pepitone being down in Atlanta, Georgia at the height of August.
Patton Oswalt
Good.
Kevin Tullio
I am. I mean, Kevin, Eddie is not looking forward to it.
Patton Oswalt
A new wrinkle to your character. You say dude.
Kevin Tullio
Yeah, sorry.
Mumps
I guess he is from New York.
Kevin Tullio
But yeah, I don't want to go to those places.
Patton Oswalt
Well, you don't have to. You're just a baker in New York City. Oh.
Kevin Tullio
