Episode Tone & Style

• True to CBB form: fast, irreverent, character-driven, with relentless bits and improv.
• Layered with meta-humor about entertainment journalism, podcasting, and the show itself.
• Wild digressions, tongue-in-cheek references, and callbacks to recurring CBB gags (entrepreneurs, ranking things, surprise musical numbers, etc.).

For Newcomers

This episode weaves real film talk with surreal, character-driven comedy. Come for the Edgar Wright anecdotes; stay for Bean Dip’s unhinged inventions, Red Velvet’s hobby shop tangents, and the podcast’s trademark, brain-melting absurdity.

Notable Callbacks & Running Gags

• “The Running Mom”: Scott’s persistent misnaming of Edgar’s movie, spiraling into entirely new premises.
• Deadpan entrepreneurial schemes, especially products with questionable value (Vans full of eyebrow salve; contacts shipped in envelopes).
• Overly elaborate explanations of basic or surreal hobby elements (“homemade DBox chairs with live pigs”).
• Showbiz meta-jokes, especially on Hollywood’s rumor mill and press cycle.
• Flirtation as a way of life (and hobby), delivered with increasingly wild improvisational energy.

Final Word

"Ankling Scooby Don’t" is packed with the quick-witted lobs, bizarre character work, and razor-sharp meta-comedy that have kept Comedy Bang Bang in the “beloved podcast” pantheon for 15 years. Come for the Edgar Wright movie scoops, stay for the town flirt’s pig-packed recliner and Bean Dip’s pitch-perfect idiocy.

Listen if you love:

• Movie nerd comedy

(If you've never heard CBB before, this episode is a wonderful—if chaotic—primer on everything the show does brilliantly.)

Thank you to Liza Mangelli for that catchphrase submission submitted on January 6th. What year? 2023. Okay, we're all right.

[Edgar Wright]

What have they been doing since then?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I know. Almost three years since that catchphrase was submitted. But hopefully Liza Mangelli, you're still alive and still a listener. And thank you so much for listening to that or even submitting it, which is a little more accurate as to what you did. But if you did just hear it, you did just listen to it. So I wasn't wrong. Hi, welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. My name is Scott Aukerman. I'm the host of Comedy Bang Bang. We have a fantastic show coming up a little later. We have a hobbyist. I wonder what their hobby is. That's very exciting. We also have an entrepreneur is going to be here. Of course we're having entrepreneurs back on the show. We said they couldn't be on the show anymore because everyone was an entrepreneur and so we just had small business owners. But we've welcomed entrepreneurs back into the fold. So we're going to have an entrepreneur coming up. But before we get to them we have a film director of note.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm an entrepreneur as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

In a way you are. Well, I bet you have an LLC.

[Edgar Wright]

Or any for tax purposes.

[Scott Aukerman]

He is joining the illustrious seven Timers Club.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh my God.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here on Comedy Bang Bang. This will be his seventh appearance on Comedy Bang Bang. He has a new movie coming out called the Running Man. The Run.

[Edgar Wright]

It's not that difficult a title, I think.

[Scott Aukerman]

How do you mess up the word man? I'm a terrible host. The Running Man. The Running Man. I'm Jamaican.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm not going there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course not. His new movie, the Running man, comes out this Friday. Please welcome back to the show Edgar Wright.

[Edgar Wright]

Thank you very much. Thanks for having me.

[Scott Aukerman]

So wonderful.

[Edgar Wright]

Seventh and last time.

[Scott Aukerman]

Time.

[Red Velvet]

What?

[Scott Aukerman]

Just because I messed up the word Man?

[Edgar Wright]

Yes. Paramount have already been on the f. On the phone.

[Scott Aukerman]

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

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you've only made seven appearances on this show.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, I know. So what's going on? I didn't. I guess I didn't come for. I didn't come for Sean or Hot Fuzz.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's. Here's what? You came first.

[Edgar Wright]

First time I came was with Joe Cornish to promote Attack the Block, of course, where Joe got in a huff.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe we don't talk about that. Then you came for the World's End.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes. With Sean Connery and Michael Caine.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. And then you came for Baby Driver.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes. And Jon Hamm was here, too.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then you came for the Sparks Brothers.

[Edgar Wright]

And Ron and Russell were here, too.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then just a few short months later, you came back for Last Night.

[Edgar Wright]

In Soho with nobody, Nobod, Johnny, no friends.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then most recently, you came for the Scott Pilgrim animated show.

[Edgar Wright]

I had forgotten about that.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. That was just a short two years ago. Yeah, just two years ago. You're a great friend of the show.

[Edgar Wright]

Thank you. Thanks for having me. It's always nice to be here.

[Scott Aukerman]

I love that you make time for it in your busy press schedule.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's wonderful to have you here. Now, the Running man is your new movie. I saw this film.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm in suspense every time the word man comes out of your mouth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now.

[Edgar Wright]

How is it gonna. How is it gonna.

[Scott Aukerman]

How many more times do you think I'm gonna mess it up? If you have to lay it, I.

[Edgar Wright]

Just want you to do it slightly differently.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now, the Running Mound. I saw this film the other night. This is a fantastic film. Glenn Powell is the lead, of course. He rocketed to stardom and things like Top Gun Maverick.

[Edgar Wright]

And you said that like it was two different films.

[Scott Aukerman]

Top Gun, Maverick.

[Edgar Wright]

Maverick, I think, was with Mel Gibson and Jody Fossil.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's true. Although that's a great. The Top Gun Universe and Maverick Universe. Yes. You know, we could find out that Mel Gibson is actually Tom Cruise's great, great grandfather or something like that. Maybe not.

[Edgar Wright]

No, no. Follow up. That was a bad. Yes.

[Red Velvet]

And.

[Scott Aukerman]

And of course, his film. Any Anyone but you. Anything But You. What?

[Edgar Wright]

What was it? You got it right the first time. But you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Anyone but you.

[Edgar Wright]

You pretended like you didn't know the title, like you haven't watched it, as if he is. You pretended.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, I've watched one scene a million times.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, my God. It killed you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my gosh. But Glenn Powell is in this film. He's great in it. And this is based on the Stephen King Is. It's a novella, is it not?

[Edgar Wright]

I guess so. That just means what, a short novel?

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess so, yeah. How short are we talking? When you talk a novella, do you think 250 pages?

[Edgar Wright]

I think so. I think you're right. The rich.

[Scott Aukerman]

Anything under 300?

[Edgar Wright]

I think so. I think it probably is about 200 pages. This would be lean and mean.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. And this now. Now, of course, there. There was a feature film based on this that came out in 88ish. 87.

[Edgar Wright]

So close. 87.

[Scott Aukerman]

87. With Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular running man. He put the tit in titular. And it was very different than the Stephen King book, was it not?

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And this one is a little more close to the plot of the original. It's been so long since I've read the novella.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes, well, Stephen King wrote under his pseudonym, Richard Backman, who of course wrote Thinner, Thinner. Thinner was the one that got him rumbled. That's where the pseudonym broke down.

[Red Velvet]

Fell apart.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. These were books that he wrote back in the early 70s.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why did he write them under a pseudonym? Was he so famous at the time that.

[Edgar Wright]

I think there was two things is one, he wanted to put out more than one book a year and his publisher was against the idea, so he created the pseudonym.

[Scott Aukerman]

And B, the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. It is.

[Edgar Wright]

It's like the end of the 80s where it's like, I've. I've got a seven album deal with Warner Brothers. Let's just burn through them all in one year.

[Scott Aukerman]

Can you imagine doing so much cocaine that you can write even more than one book a year? Like, I can't even imagine writing one book a year.

[Edgar Wright]

I think also the other thing was that the Backman books were not strictly horror, so he wanted to kind of see whether, like, he still had success outside the horror market because the other ones were.

[Scott Aukerman]

We have the Long Walk, which turned into a movie earlier this year, which I just saw was very good. And then Road Work. Oh yeah, Roadwork.

[Edgar Wright]

Rage. Rage and then Thinner.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So this Richard Bachman and then he wrote some other stuff back in the 90s when everyone knew who he was.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, there were other. Yes, there are other Richard Backman books. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

But this, this guy, Richard Backman, great writer and he wrote the Running Man. And what. Explain the premise of this film, if you don't mind.

[Edgar Wright]

Ben Richards is an out of work dad.

[Scott Aukerman]

How important is it that his name is Ben Richards?

[Edgar Wright]

I've never had to answer that question on the press tour yet. It isn't part of my talking point.

[Scott Aukerman]

Scott, I can tell you on the Wikipedia page there's a section that says premise and it has a quote from Paramount Pictures.

[Edgar Wright]

What does it say? Tell me.

[Scott Aukerman]

In a near future society, the Running man is the top rated show on television. A deadly competition where contestants known as runners must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. With every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. And there's like three other sentences. Rated R. Rated R, yeah. And it is a rated R, which is so nice to see.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, I like that. Oh yeah. Used to get a rated R sci fi action film every day. The 80s, right? Every single day of the year.

[Scott Aukerman]

In the best way. This really reminds me of an 80s or 90s action film.

[Edgar Wright]

I take that as a compliment.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think I mentioned to you when I saw it that it really reminds me of like robocop or Starship Troopers, the kind of like satire in it while also just being like a really kickass action.

[Edgar Wright]

You're missing out the one with Schwarzenegger in a Total Recall.

[Scott Aukerman]

Total Recall, exactly. Yeah, it does remind me that.

[Edgar Wright]

No, I mean I. I had read the book when I was a teenager and I'd actually read it before I saw the 1980 film. So I was well aware when I was watching the Schwarzenegger version, I already stumbled over his surname there, that they hadn't really adapted the book at all. It's very loose adaptation. So I always like felt that there was another movie in that book and had always thought about doing it and it even looked into the rights years and years ago. So it's like. And also you know that the book is set in 2025.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. You mentioned this when I saw the film. What was the tagline on the book?

[Edgar Wright]

The 1982 first edition paperback of it said, welcome to the year 2025, where the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Running Man, Richard Beckman.

[Edgar Wright]

That's genuinely the very. That's very, very much the log line of. That is the exact log line of the book.

[Scott Aukerman]

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

[Edgar Wright]

I actually did that as a. This is Colin Hanks in a slightly kind of. When it was announced on Deadline that I was doing it, he texted me, is he a friend of the show?

[Scott Aukerman]

He's a friend of the show.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, of course.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

He texted me, director of the John.

[Scott Aukerman]

Candy documentary out now.

[Edgar Wright]

I haven't seen that yet.

[Scott Aukerman]

Very good.

[Edgar Wright]

Is it called I Want Candy? What is it called?

[Scott Aukerman]

It's called I Like Me.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, I Like Me. I was so close.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

I mean, I Want Candy's not a bad name for that documentary. It should be called you want Candy.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. Yeah. And bow wow wow should get back together.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And have a big part of it. But unfortunately, none of that came to pass. But he's a friend of the show. What did he reach out to?

[Edgar Wright]

He texted me when it was announced on Deadline that I might be doing it. And he said, congratulations. He goes, is this gonna be in it? And sent me like a little gif of somebody doing the Running Man. So I thought, I'll show you Colin Hanks. I'll fucking put the Running man in there. And then he'll be laughing. So he hasn't seen it yet.

[Scott Aukerman]

And does Deadline put out articles about when people might do something?

[Edgar Wright]

Yes, every day. I think probably the hit rate of, like, articles to finish movies is 99 to 1.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And this was one where you just kind of shot. Didn't you shoot your shot where you're just like, hey, I'd like to do the Running Man. And then it all kind of came together.

[Edgar Wright]

It's one of those questions that comes up, you know, on websites or, like, if you could remake any film. What Would you remake? So I answered the Running man, but I don't think it's like a strict. It is. I would say it's a new adaptation of the source material, not like a strict remake.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. And Glenn Powell is in this. He's really good.

[Edgar Wright]

His name, like, four times. It's like you're in love with him.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's one of our great movie stars.

[Edgar Wright]

He is. He's amazing in the movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then, of course, who else is in the film?

[Edgar Wright]

Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Amelia Jones, Michael Cera. Friend of the show.

[Scott Aukerman]

Friend of the show, of course.

[Edgar Wright]

Who was that? Jamie Lawson, Daniel Ezra, Katie o'. Brien. Do you know her from. The amazing actress from Love Lies Bleeding. Martin Hurley. He is in it. Is he a friend of the show?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, he's not. I'd love to be.

[Edgar Wright]

He should be. He's very funny.

[Scott Aukerman]

Introduce us. I will. We also have William H Macy, who, of course played Dr. David Morgenstern on ER for 31 episodes. And he has to resign in disgrace in his final episode because he makes a mistake in the operating room and then blames it on one of his underlings. And then he watches the tape and realizes that he doesn't have his fastball anymore, and so he resigns from the er.

[Red Velvet]

Did I.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you think about a storyline like that?

[Edgar Wright]

Was I supposed to watch this episode before? Before this?

[Red Velvet]

Well, I mean, you're like me.

[Scott Aukerman]

You watched all 15 seasons in the last two months.

[Edgar Wright]

Have you been doing that for real?

[Red Velvet]

Is this.

[Scott Aukerman]

I did on my other show.

[Edgar Wright]

Wait, wait. Have I missed a huge plot point?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you really do an EI Watchback show?

[Scott Aukerman]

I did, yeah. Oh, no, no. It was on my movie show. But yes, I watched all 15 seasons of ER in the last couple of months and then did a rap about it.

[Edgar Wright]

What? Could you now rank the seasons in. In. In chronological order?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

[Edgar Wright]

What about in reverse chronological order?

[Scott Aukerman]

This is tougher, but. 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

[Edgar Wright]

And now just the odd numbers.

[Scott Aukerman]

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15. Probably.

[Edgar Wright]

And now the even numbers, 2, 4.

[Scott Aukerman]

6, 8. Who do we appreciate? 10, 12, 14. How about the prime numbers? 3, 5, 7, 9. I got them all wrong.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, it was not all of them, but I really enjoyed that.

[Scott Aukerman]

But did you mention, what does ER stand for? You know, they never talk about that. I watched the whole thing going like, this is probably someone's initials, but none of the characters I mean, you have Dr. Green. So there's an R in his last name and an E, but then there's 2E. So I was sort of like, maybe they're talking about this guy. Like, Green backwards is like N, E, R, G, like energy. I don't know. Anyway, the Running Man.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm doing a great job of selling my movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did we talk about Amelia Jones?

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, we did talk about Amelia Jones.

[Scott Aukerman]

About From Task recently.

[Edgar Wright]

And Coda.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. So great in it. And Lee Pace, of course.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

The one episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers that I did. He was the. A guest. I believe I was in C Block.

[Edgar Wright]

In C Block.

[Scott Aukerman]

He said he was very nervous backstage. What do you think about that?

[Edgar Wright]

Why would you. Why was he with. Oh, this is recently, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no, I don't think I've been invited to be on a talk show recently. This is when I had a TV show.

[Edgar Wright]

How was C Block?

[Scott Aukerman]

C block was great. You can find my. Unless they've taken it down off YouTube. You can find my interview out there on YouTube. I'm sure it was a lot of fun. I love Seth and are you doing any of the talk shows?

[Edgar Wright]

I'm doing Seth Meyers.

[Scott Aukerman]

When are you doing it?

[Edgar Wright]

In a couple of weeks.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's fantastic.

[Edgar Wright]

I think. I'm not sure what block I'm in.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe B block reminds him of the time that Lee Pace and I were on the exact same episode. See if he remembers.

[Edgar Wright]

That'll be my opening story. I'll do the pre interview and saying, hey, I've got 10 minutes on Scott Ockerman and Lee Pace.

[Scott Aukerman]

We have, of course, David Zayas is in it.

[Edgar Wright]

David Zayas is in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sean Hayes.

[Edgar Wright]

Sean Hayes is in it.

[Scott Aukerman]

One of the smartless gentlemen.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did it where this was shot in like. Wasn't it shot in. In some far off country?

[Edgar Wright]

Not that part.

[Scott Aukerman]

Not that part.

[Edgar Wright]

We shot in London mostly, and then we shot a bit in Scotland. Oh, and then we shot the last maybe month in Bulgaria.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bulgaria. How was that?

[Edgar Wright]

It was nice. Have you ever been?

[Scott Aukerman]

I've never been.

[Edgar Wright]

Sofia.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's that mean?

[Edgar Wright]

That's the capital of Bulgaria.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Edgar Wright]

Sofia, Bulgaria. Or actually Sofia.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sophia.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Have you ever shot a movie in Bulgaria?

[Edgar Wright]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow. Fun.

[Edgar Wright]

No, it was. It was nice. I mean, it was it. We had access to lots of freeways, which, I mean, difficult to shut down freeways. But there were lots of what we. I would guess, like ghost freeways that were not connected to, not operable any longer. And I don't think they'd been opened at all. They built the freeway and never connected it to anything else. So you had miles and miles of freeway.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you're going to build a freeway, anyone listening out there, you got to.

[Edgar Wright]

Got to connect somebody else.

[Scott Aukerman]

Otherwise no one's ever going to drive on it. That's so fun. And did you think like, oh, I'm making this movie called the Running Moan, and he's gotta be running during.

[Edgar Wright]

Did you think there was enough running?

[Scott Aukerman]

You know? Okay, so Tom Cruise, he does that really fun running in the Mission Impossible movies. Glenn Powell just kind of runs like a normal human being. So I was a little disappointed in that. But then I thought that 99% of the movie he'd be running or at least running in place. I know, like when he's in a hotel room hiding out, I just expected him to be jogging in place or something like, you know, did you ever think about anything like that?

[Edgar Wright]

We're just having him on the treadmill in everything.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

I mean, it's not too late to go back and I mean, technically it's locked.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just cgi. His legs just kind of.

[Edgar Wright]

I mean, it comes out in two weeks.

[Scott Aukerman]

I guess I got time out this Friday, my friend.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, okay. Comes out this Friday.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm in the future now. Well, technically, I've got enough time to go and change all of that.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think you do. I think the fans expect it. Was it fun working on this is. I mean, this is. It's big blockbuster entertainment. This is the kind of thing that I think deserves to be seen in a movie theater. This is the kind of thing you bring your buddies to and everyone's going.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, it's like. It's not one of your English films which are, you know, wry and has. Has a particular sense of dry humor to them.

[Edgar Wright]

You're saying it's not the Exotic Marigold Hotel. That's what you're saying? I think it's what I'm remains of.

[Scott Aukerman]

The day trying to hint at. Yes. It's not Howards End. Ish.

[Edgar Wright]

It's not how it's end.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, it's just big blockbuster entertainment. Is it fun to do a movie like that?

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, yes. I mean, it's exhausting doing a movie like that. I mean, there was. It was shot over like 165 locations.

[Red Velvet]

Whoa.

[Edgar Wright]

I know. Even. Even just the thought of it gives me a little shiver.

[Scott Aukerman]

Because it's like 165 minutes, probably. No, it's 133. So that's more locations than minutes in Your film. How does that even work? Does it. Do people go like, well, okay, we're here right now. Oh, now we're over here.

[Edgar Wright]

Those are the running bits.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's true.

[Edgar Wright]

He runs fast. He can basically. Glenn Powell can run three locations in under a minute.

[Scott Aukerman]

Whoa, that's fast. Did you ever say, like, hey, man, if you're going to do this movie with me, I need you to at least run like one marathon a month before we shoot or anything like that? Did he train at all?

[Edgar Wright]

He did. Well, he did train. Yeah, he's. And I kind of thought it was so, like, exhausting to make a lot of, like, a stress eating for me that he got into the best shape of his life and I got into my worst.

[Scott Aukerman]

You switched.

[Edgar Wright]

But luckily, yes. It was like Freaky Friday. Luckily, I wasn't on camera. So.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Did you ever think about making this movie? But with you as the Northern man.

[Edgar Wright]

Again, I guess there's like seven days until it comes out. It's not impossible.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cgi, your head on Glen Pell's body. And then everyone's like, whoa, Edgar's got it. Incredible body. And then cgi, the legs going up and down.

[Edgar Wright]

You're doing a cgi, Glenn's head onto my body.

[Scott Aukerman]

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

[Edgar Wright]

I don't know. I don't know, but we can find out.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well, the Running man is out this Friday. It's a good, good time in the theater. I think it's going to be a huge hit. What are we thinking in terms of. Yeah, you want to predict.

[Edgar Wright]

No, I really do not. I don't. I like. No, I do not.

[Scott Aukerman]

You do not. Okay. But this is going to be the biggest hit of your career is one thing that I. I would think.

[Edgar Wright]

I hope so. If you. Are you saying that I think on the show.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's my prediction. Yeah. This is the biggest hit of your career and not just due to inflation. I think even in adjusted dollars, it'll be the biggest hit of your career.

[Edgar Wright]

Well, let's hope so.

[Scott Aukerman]

I hope so. You want to go up, up, up, up, right? You want to, like, go up, up, up, down, down.

[Edgar Wright]

I don't want to still come back and do this show.

[Scott Aukerman]

For God's sake. What? Come on, join the gamers club.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm kidding.

[Scott Aukerman]

We want you.

[Edgar Wright]

I love this show.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well, we're going to take a break, Edgar, if that's okay. We have a. We have a hobbyist here. We have a entrepreneur. This is a good show.

[Edgar Wright]

Another entrepreneur.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, that's right. Yes. What other businesses do you have, by the way, other than just being a film director? You have like some, some stands or.

[Edgar Wright]

Some stands in some.

[Scott Aukerman]

In malls. Don't you run a sunglass hut out there in like Brighton or something like that?

[Edgar Wright]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't. Okay. That's a weird piece of trivia that I'd read about.

[Edgar Wright]

Is that a real thing you read?

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

No, I don't have any other. I don't have any brands. No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you gotta, you gotta get into the like Athleisure wear or something.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, God, no, please.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know what I mean?

[Edgar Wright]

I guess I'd rather. What would I like to have as my brand? Yeah, you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you love music.

[Edgar Wright]

Coffee.

[Scott Aukerman]

Coffee. You love coffee and music. What about a coffee cup shaped mp3 player?

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah. What was the name of Neil Young's.

[Scott Aukerman]

Kind of the Pono.

[Edgar Wright]

The Pono. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

That was a Toblerone shaped music player.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, that's. Now I like the idea of a Toblerone that plays music.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, so do I. That you could eat. You could eat and then it plays music in your stomach.

[Edgar Wright]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is a good idea.

[Edgar Wright]

Okay, I'm done with this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. This is your idea. Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're going to be right back with more Edgar Wright the Running Moon out this Friday. We're going to come back with a hobbyist. We're going to come back with an entrepreneur.

Today's episode of Comedy Bang Bang is brought to you by Fabletics. You know, getting fresh workout gear, it often feels like you're overspending, right?

You can get 80% off of everything. 80%? That's not, that's not me stumbling over my words. Although I am prone to do that when I do these ads. But 80%, that's not 8, it's 80. That's almost all.

That monthly fee gives you exclusive benefits including a credit you can use to a full outfit or bundle worth up to $100. Now I got some of this fabletic stuff they sent me some shorts, some pants, some tees, even some underwear if you know what I'm saying. I think you know what underwear is. So you do know what I'm saying. I've worn them out. The underwear I wear underneath my clothes, that's my choice, my body, my choice. And that's what I decided to do. But these are wonderfully feeling, they're stylish, they fit great. I think you should get some treat yourself to gear that looks good, feels good and doesn't break the bank with Fabletics. Go to Fabletics.com CBB and sign up as a VIP and get 80% off of everything. Comedy Bang Bang. We're back. Edgar Wright is here. The Running man out this Friday.

[Edgar Wright]

And now with my head on Glenn's body.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. And CGI legs that are running the entire. You could, you don't have to CGI them. If that's too big of a budget. You could just put cartoon leg.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, I like that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. And what do you know what other movies are coming?

[Edgar Wright]

Like a Speedy Gonzalez. Like just the world.

[Scott Aukerman]

We don't talk about him anymore.

[Red Velvet]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, he's been cancelled.

[Edgar Wright]

Has he been cancelled?

[Scott Aukerman]

I believe so.

[Edgar Wright]

What other cartoon characters have been cancelled?

[Scott Aukerman]

I, I suspect at some point we're going to get around to the Tasmanian devil. The people of Tasmania are not going to appreciate it, but at this point Taz is still safe.

[Edgar Wright]

I, I, I mean this cancer culture mean he's now called Scooby Don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's such a good joke, Edgar. We need to put that in your next movie, whatever it is.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you know your next movie is Scooby Don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

Scooby don't is your next movie.

[Edgar Wright]

That's my next movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is incredible.

[Edgar Wright]

You heard it here first.

[Scott Aukerman]

The Running man out this Friday. We need to get to our next guest. She's an entrepreneur and she runs the W Hotel here in Los Angeles as well as other various other businesses that's.

[Edgar Wright]

The one that had the escort staying, right?

[Scott Aukerman]

Actually, it is. Yes. We'll talk to her about that. Please. Welcome back to the show, Bean Dip.

[Bean Dip]

Hi, Scott. How you doing, man?

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, I'm doing good. This is Edgar Wright.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, I know. Hey, don't talk to me like I don't know what the deal is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, and Scooby, don't maybe you. When you direct it, it'll be directed by Edgar Wrong. Oh, hilarious.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, good one, Scott. Like, you need to tell him ideas. He's got plenty of ideas without you telling him.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry, Edgar. I don't mean to pitch my own ideas on top of your ideas. Now, Bean Dip, you run the W hotel out here?

[Bean Dip]

Yeah. The one in Hollywood? Run no other W hotels.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. It's been carved out.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that's the one I own. People don't know this, but W hotels are like, franchise.

[Scott Aukerman]

Every W hotel that you ever go to, someone kind of runs it.

[Bean Dip]

Somebody different.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, someone different. That would be weird if one guy ran all of them and he had to go to each single one every day.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

Talk about all the minutes of a day, man. Talk about the real running five locations.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

What does the W stand for?

[Bean Dip]

The W stands for worthwhile. Because if you go there, you go. Have a great time and you gonna be like, huh, I spend my whole day sitting by the pool, get a massage, having a delicious meal. This was worthwhile.

[Scott Aukerman]

They should advertise that more that it stands for worthwhile. No one knows that.

[Bean Dip]

Nobody knows that. Everybody thinks that. It has to do with something else. Like, God willing, it's worthwhile.

[Edgar Wright]

Two W's.

[Bean Dip]

No many people put a dash in it. But that's not the correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's a compound word, is it not?

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, it's a compound word. A lot of people put a dash. Guess what? They're wrong.

[Scott Aukerman]

They are wrong. Yeah. It's not the W hotel.

[Bean Dip]

No, it's just a W. Because also, if it was worthwhile and it was two W's, you had W with a little T up on the right hand corner. It's like squared.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yep. W to the WTH power.

[Bean Dip]

W to the W' Th power.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think that anyone confuses the hotel with George W. Bush because he was known as W and any kind of brand confusion?

[Bean Dip]

Scott, let me tell you this much. It happens every single day of every single week for all year long. Through hell. Season five.

[Scott Aukerman]

So people come into the hotel expecting a George W. Bush themed hotel?

[Bean Dip]

Well, no, they're trying to get a Meeting with him. Oh, so usually they come out, they're like, I would love a room. Also, put me on the books to meet with George W. Bush. And we gotta have all our people at the front desk trained to say, he don't work here.

[Scott Aukerman]

So there's no connection to him.

[Bean Dip]

No connection.

[Scott Aukerman]

But his artwork is up everywhere at the hotel.

[Bean Dip]

His artwork's everywhere in the hotel. All the bedrooms.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

We've started a special thing where when you pull out the covers on your bed, there's a life size person of George W. Bush.

[Scott Aukerman]

So a real human being.

[Bean Dip]

A real human being, but sleeping in a George W. Bush costume. This is for Halloween only.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so that's coming up in another 11 months.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that's going to be for next year.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, but what is a George W. Bush costume? Like a suit?

[Bean Dip]

Great question. Well, we've decided to go George W. Bush casual. So we go for shorts. Jean shorts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Jean shorts.

[Bean Dip]

Jean shorts with socks. You know, like the socks they used to wear back in the olden days for people to roller skate with stripes on them.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, socks like that, but with boots. And a tank top.

[Scott Aukerman]

And a tank top. Okay, great. All right.

[Bean Dip]

Well, first when you look at it, you go, hey, that's just a random person in my bed. And then you go, oh, let me look again. That's George W. Bush, and he's casual.

[Scott Aukerman]

Does he stick around the entire stay or does he leave after a couple of minutes?

[Bean Dip]

It depends on how you're feeling. If you would like to have a conversation with somebody who seems like George W. Bush, he'll stay for about 15, 16, sometimes 18 minutes.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, okay.

[Bean Dip]

But if you're like, hey, I don't like this feeling. Get somebody out of here. He'll get.

[Scott Aukerman]

And are you allowed to do anything you want to him?

[Bean Dip]

Yeah. You can finger him. You could cut his hair if you want.

[Scott Aukerman]

Cut his hair.

[Bean Dip]

You could boss. You could boss him.

[Scott Aukerman]

You could boss him around, make him do chores, but only for 18 minutes or so.

[Bean Dip]

50, 67 to 80 minutes, something like that. Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

Is his middle name worthwhile?

[Bean Dip]

Well, people think that a lot. And people get very confused on that because it is a two syllable W. But it's not worthwhile. It's worth Wall.

[Scott Aukerman]

Worth. Wall is his middle name. I didn't know that.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Things like this aren't written about in the history books, you know, and. Yeah, I mean, Edgar, you're an Englishman, so you don't know that much about our presidencies or we, we don't have a queen at the top. Or a king, I guess now is what you have. We have a president. No kings.

[Edgar Wright]

No kings.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, exactly.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, I, I, you could test me on presidents if you want.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, name two.

[Edgar Wright]

Richard Nixon.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that's number one.

[Bean Dip]

He's doing great.

[Scott Aukerman]

You can't say Richard and Nixon because that's one guy.

[Edgar Wright]

I want to say Ronald Reagan.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, pretty great. Not bad.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm good at this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Not bad. Okay, test me on kings.

[Edgar Wright]

Name some kings.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's too open ended. George.

[Edgar Wright]

Ralph.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ralph. Yeah, yeah. Syndicate.

[Edgar Wright]

Steven.

[Scott Aukerman]

Steven. Yeah. So that, of course, bean dip is what you do on the day to day, but what are you up to lately? Anytime you come by the show, you have some, some interesting new business ventures. You're an entrepreneur. What is going on in bean dip's world these days?

[Bean Dip]

Well, lately I started to redo businesses.

[Scott Aukerman]

Redobiz. I don't know exactly what that means. What, like rehab them or.

[Bean Dip]

Well, I started three new business.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you started. Oh, I started. I thought you said started to.

[Bean Dip]

No, I did not try to rehab my businesses cuz my businesses that I already have are crushing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Bean Dip]

So I still have the stands where you get a, like a vegetable, carrot, a squash or whatever put in a bun.

[Scott Aukerman]

In a hot dog bun.

[Bean Dip]

In a hot dog bun. The W's going great. But I also started to think three new businesses. Yeah, three new businesses.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, what are we?

[Bean Dip]

One is. Okay, let me ask you this. Have you seen the thing lately when you're looking on Instagram or when you go out into the world where you say, hey, what's going on? Everybody's paying extra attention to their eyebrows.

[Scott Aukerman]

I have. The eyebrows seem bushier these days. Edgar, have you noticed this?

[Edgar Wright]

No, but tell me more.

[Scott Aukerman]

They seem more full, but also they seem to have like skin lines in between each one. Does that make sense?

[Bean Dip]

Well, you have seen some bad ones. Because if you. Everybody wants bushy eyebrows now, but when you start to brush them up, then. Do you have skin lines? My new product is a salve that you put on your eyebrows and it makes no skin lines. It's called, well, uniform brow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Uniform brow.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Bean Dip]

And I sell it all over Los Angeles in a truck.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so you're out there in these streets.

[Bean Dip]

No website. I'm out there in these streets.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is just a real grassroots operation.

[Bean Dip]

Grassroots. I've hired a few of the van drivers. Everybody goes around selling the South.

[Scott Aukerman]

So how many, how many vans are out there selling this eyebrows? I don't know.

[Bean Dip]

Apparently today, 22 rounds today in Los Angeles.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. I don't know. I don't know that I would buy anything for. To put on my eyebrows.

[Bean Dip]

Okay, well, you could go yourself. Oh, because, Scott, you could use this product.

[Scott Aukerman]

I. I get. Is there an issue with my eyebrows that you're.

[Bean Dip]

There's no issue, per se, with your eyebrows. But if you try to get laid, you're gonna get this.

[Scott Aukerman]

I am trying to get laid, Edgar. Are you trying to get laid these days? I'm trying to get.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm trying to myself. Or at least finger George Bush.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right. Well, okay, so how much does it retail for? What's MSRP?

[Bean Dip]

A tube will cost you only 16.99. 16.99 for a life change.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's not a bad price.

[Edgar Wright]

When you say uniform brow, not like a mono brow. Not like one eyebrow.

[Bean Dip]

No way. Nobody wants that. Unless you got from caveman time. Everybody wants that stuff. Space in the middle, but for no skin lines in the brow itself.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, everyone. Usually it's two, right? And then a lot of people just have the one. Because they connect in the middle.

[Bean Dip]

Gross.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why not three? Like. Like, if you had a. A unibrow that connected in the middle, why not shave, like, in the middle of. Of each one so that you have three?

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then it looks like your nose is surprised every once in a while.

[Red Velvet]

You know what?

[Bean Dip]

This is a great idea, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you. I'm an idea person. I can't. I'm unlike you. I can't put these ideas into action. You know, I came up with a great idea of Edgar changing his name to Edgar Wrong for the Scooby Dope movie. But I have no power, you know? Like, I don't have the power to do these kinds of things. You do. That's what I love about you. You. You are not only an idea person, but you put those ideas into the streets. And that's what I love.

[Bean Dip]

Also into envelopes lately. My second business is contacts that you can put onto your eyes that makes it look like you don't have an eye.

[Scott Aukerman]

Contacts you put onto your eye that makes it look like you don't have an eye. So it's just. They're white. And so.

[Bean Dip]

Well, you could choose either all white or all black. Like space. The black is called space on ours.

[Scott Aukerman]

So the black one covers your entire eye. Even the whites of your eyes, I guess.

[Bean Dip]

And you put it on, like, a contact.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Bean Dip]

So it covers the whites of your eyes. Covers every white one. Covers if you have a color of eyes. Like, if you have a People, I think everyone does. Oh, well, that both cover it and.

[Scott Aukerman]

What? Why would anyone want this?

[Bean Dip]

Well, because if you want that and you want to go like, hey, I'm going to. I won't feel like doing some bad stuff today. I don't want to look like myself. I don't want to be able to be identified, then you can send us to us and we send you them in an envelope.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, I guess this is a good idea. Would kind of help you evade facial recognition scanners maybe.

[Bean Dip]

Exactly.

[Edgar Wright]

Robert Durst, the killer from.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure. The original Jinx.

[Edgar Wright]

Didn't he wear contacts to make his pupils look bigger?

[Scott Aukerman]

Was that part of the Jinx miniseries I never saw?

[Edgar Wright]

Yes. He ordered these contacts, I think from Asia that make your pupils look bigger to make you seem more innocent. And when you see him in the documentary, I'm not kidding, he's blinking like very slowly because he's obviously wearing these massive contacts. I'm not even kidding.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow. Okay.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you remember that?

[Bean Dip]

I don't remember that, but I remember that when he was on trial in the Jake's part two, he tried to pretend that he was very sick. So I believe that he would do anything to his eyes to make himself look like an innocent man.

[Edgar Wright]

He was wearing the white contacts that day.

[Bean Dip]

He should have had all white.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think that you're. Who's the target market for this? Do you think it's going to be like essentially murderers and people trying to commit crimes?

[Bean Dip]

It could be murderers, climbers, also shoplifters, people who like to dine and dash. But also it's going to be a great market for teen girls.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why teen girls?

[Bean Dip]

Just for having fun.

[Scott Aukerman]

For having fun.

[Bean Dip]

Let's go. Hey, let's go put on our space eyes and let's run around.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think it would be very disconcerting. Like someone comes up to you, their. Their eyelids are shut, they open their eyes, they have no eyeballs. Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

You're going to get scared. You're going to give them whatever they need. You're going to let them have free rain.

[Red Velvet]

Yep.

[Edgar Wright]

All your schemes are 11 months away from Halloween.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's why you got to start planning early.

[Bean Dip]

You got to stop playing early. We are all back order.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Well, you have. Is there an envelope shortage or anything going on?

[Bean Dip]

Well, that's part of the hook is there's no envelope shortage. But people love getting mail. And we don't let you order it to come in a box. We don't let you order it to get picked up. We're not going to deliver it to you in a van. It will come to you in an envelope. And we have gotten such good feedback on that.

[Scott Aukerman]

What kind of feedback do you get?

[Bean Dip]

Okay, let me read to you some of the reviews.

[Scott Aukerman]

Look at all these reviews.

[Bean Dip]

You have, wow, five stars. When I got my space contacts in the mail, I ripped open that envelope and I almost started crying because I was so happy to be ripping paper. Four star review. The only reason I'm not giving this result for five stars is because my envelope could have been bigger. I would have liked to open the envelope for a lot longer. I miss all these.

[Red Velvet]

Wow.

[Bean Dip]

Should I keep going?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I don't think so. I mean, I think that says it all. That's. People love it. People love it. Do they like the contacts themselves? Because a lot of the reviews don't seem to be talking about those.

[Bean Dip]

Five star review. Hi. I live in Wisconsin.

[Scott Aukerman]

I think you need to say hi when starting a review. Okay. I'm just saying, to this person or anyone out there writing a review, don't start with hi.

[Bean Dip]

Five star review. Hi, I'm from Wisconsin. I'm a woman who lives in her house with her elderly husband. We are both elderly. We are 82 years old.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, to call him elderly and then reveal I'm also an elderly.

[Bean Dip]

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

[Scott Aukerman]

They should probably just invest in some placemats. But, I mean, these are great reviews. This is. This is a. This is.

[Bean Dip]

I'll say.

[Scott Aukerman]

And this is only your second of three businesses?

[Bean Dip]

That's right.

[Red Velvet]

Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so what is the third business?

[Bean Dip]

The third business is a band, and it's music.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. You're in a band. You know, Edgar's a huge music fan.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, believe me, I know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, What. What type of band are you in?

[Bean Dip]

Well, it's sort of like if. Have you ever heard of the Talking Hands?

[Scott Aukerman]

I think I might have heard a song or two by then.

[Bean Dip]

Well, it's as good as that.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's as good as that. Ah.

[Bean Dip]

You asked me what kind of band it is.

[Edgar Wright]

What's the name of the band?

[Bean Dip]

It's called Windows.

[Scott Aukerman]

Windows. It's sort of like The. The operating system on a computer.

[Bean Dip]

Well, it's sort of like Windows in the House.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. Like those windows. And what genre of music, to use a French term.

[Bean Dip]

Rockabal. Hoochie coo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so a rock band that's just as good as the Talking Heads called Windows. Who's in this band with you?

[Bean Dip]

Me. Bobby Carnevale.

[Edgar Wright]

What?

[Bean Dip]

Uh huh.

[Scott Aukerman]

From Only Murders in the Building.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, Bobby Carnevale from Only Murders in the Building.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you talk about. Was that a fun set?

[Bean Dip]

Oh, what a blast. We laughed all the time.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a quote from him.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's a quote from him also. Second Bobby, Carnival. I quote, man, we would get to sit on Early Murders in the Building. And the snacks were delicious and everyone was nice.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, I bet the snack budget on it. How was the snack budget on Running man, by the way?

[Edgar Wright]

I'm not sure what the actual. As a line item.

[Scott Aukerman]

What?

[Edgar Wright]

The actual price?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Can you get me those figures? Yeah, yeah, and we'll put it on. We'll tack it on at the end of this episode.

[Edgar Wright]

I just got like a breaking news from Deadline that Edgar Wrong is directing Scooby Doe.

[Bean Dip]

Whoa.

[Scott Aukerman]

God. It was.

[Edgar Wright]

He beat me to it.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Too bad.

[Bean Dip]

Scott, just real quick. Earlier when you were talking about Edgar's movie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

I just have one question, because when you so clearly said it's called Running mom, is it about like, she's like her kids are driving her crazy and she's gotta get the groceries, also get them to do their homework?

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah, she's running errands.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, got it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what it's about. The Running Mom.

[Bean Dip]

Cute.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's a cute movie.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that sounds adorable.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you mind singing one of your songs?

[Bean Dip]

Oh, sure. This is a song from the windows.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, it's the windows. Okay.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, it's the windows. Hey, hey. Hi, Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. And then we loop that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Bean Dip]

So that's going through the whole thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. So do you want me to maybe do that behind whatever you're going to do?

[Bean Dip]

Okay, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hi.

[Bean Dip]

Hey, everybody. I found something today on the street and it is a basket hey everybody I found something today on the street hey, hey, hey. It is a basket full of love A basket full of love Spread it to your neighbors Basket full of love Spread it to your friends Basket full of love Come on over to my house Everybody be peaceful in the world.

[Scott Aukerman]

Obviously it goes on longer, so why don't we hear more of it?

[Bean Dip]

Oh, sure.

[Edgar Wright]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey hey hey hey, hey, hey.

[Bean Dip]

Well, just the other day I started dreaming I had never dreamed before.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just.

[Bean Dip]

All our songs are about having peace for the world.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's incredible. I mean, what a wonderful message, especially coming here into the holiday season. A basket full of love.

[Bean Dip]

Thanks, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you and Bobby Carnival.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, me, Bobby Carnevale.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who writes the lyrics?

[Bean Dip]

Mostly Bobby does.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah. That sounded like something Bobby would say.

[Bean Dip]

That's so Carnavale.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

Sean Penn.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sean Penn. Oh, okay. Wow. He's in, of course, one battle after another.

[Bean Dip]

Uh huh. Jeff Tweedy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Jeff Tweedy.

[Red Velvet]

Okay, then.

[Scott Aukerman]

You some real musical muscle in this.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, we're big time.

[Scott Aukerman]

And who sings? You're the lead singer.

[Bean Dip]

I usually sing later. Less David. Bar was too.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, so David Byrne is in this as well?

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, he's in the Windows.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, sounds like a super group.

[Bean Dip]

But he's always, when he comes to rehearsal, he's always like, this is so much better than the talking is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, sounds like something he'd say. Well, these are three great businesses being dipped, Scott. This is. You got a lot going on.

[Bean Dip]

Thanks, dude.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

Hey, man, I'm ready to keep on going.

[Scott Aukerman]

You ready to keep going with what?

[Bean Dip]

Just with everything going great in life.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

How much money do you make this year?

[Bean Dip]

Boy, don't even start with me.

[Scott Aukerman]

I want to ask you that too, Edgar, but. Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

Have you ever heard of one? And have you ever heard of 4? And then have you ever heard of million afterward?

[Scott Aukerman]

Whoa. 14 million. Just this year alone.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, that's right. Put it on a sandwich and ate it, bitch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Damn. Yes. How much do you get paid to make a movie like the Running Man? It's got to be like up there in the seven figures, doesn't it? Yeah, like high seven figure. It's not eight, is it? Is it nine figures, Scott? Yes, that's right. Are you getting a hundred million dollars to. You're getting 10 figures? Even up 11 figures. You're still waving me up. I don't even think you know how much money it. No. Pounds.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, okay, right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Or euros. What do you guys do out there these days? You're back to pounds. Yeah, yeah. What do you prefer, the euro or the pound?

[Edgar Wright]

I haven't. I mean, I never used the euro, I don't think, ever.

[Scott Aukerman]

You never used a euro?

[Edgar Wright]

Well, you know, the UK didn't really buy into the euros.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, no one liked them, right?

[Edgar Wright]

Well, you know, we're just isolationists, I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

We left Europe.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, you're a big Brexit guy. You were telling me.

[Edgar Wright]

I'm real pro Brexit.

[Scott Aukerman]

But mainly because you thought it was breakfast for a long time and most important meal of the day. Look, we have to take a break. Bean dip. This is fantastic stuff. Can you stick around? Because we have a hobbyist coming up on the show.

Like taking their kids to the shoe store. What? What else?

[Edgar Wright]

Getting her eyebrows done.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, eyebrows done. Oh, ok. She could use some of this.

[Bean Dip]

Some of the salve.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, exactly. Also, Bean Dip is here ordering some envelopes from Amazon. Yes, thank you. Edgar Bean did, by the way, brought us some envelopes during the break and they are fun to open.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, satisfying.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, very satisfying. Well, speaking of satisfying, let's get to our next guest. He is a hobbyist. Please welcome to the show for the first time, Red Velvet.

[Red Velvet]

Hi Scott. Thanks for having me.

[Scott Aukerman]

My pleasure to have you. Welcome. Red Velvet, this is Bean Dip. This is Edgar.

[Red Velvet]

Hello.

[Bean Dip]

Hi.

[Red Velvet]

Hi. My name's Red Velvet. I work at a hobby shop. Oh. And yes, I am the town flirt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, great. I mean, I don't know how much we'll be talking about that last part because you booked on the show as a hobbyist. I'd love to.

[Red Velvet]

That's My job. I work at a hobby shop.

[Scott Aukerman]

Love to hear all about that.

[Red Velvet]

And I'm always flirting with the customers.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I don't know how much we need to really discuss all that, but tell us about what hobby shop do you work at?

[Red Velvet]

Anchorage Hobbies.

[Scott Aukerman]

Anchorage. And this is in Alaska, where I.

[Red Velvet]

Was born and raised.

[Scott Aukerman]

Not a lot of people out there to flirt with, I would imagine.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, you'd be surprised.

[Scott Aukerman]

What kind of numbers are we talking? Let's see if I actually would be.

[Red Velvet]

Surprised how many people are living there or how many people I flirt with.

[Edgar Wright]

It's the same number, right?

[Red Velvet]

If they come in the shop. It sure is.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you. How long have you worked at Anchorage hobbies?

[Red Velvet]

30 years.

[Scott Aukerman]

30 years. Wow. How did you get interested in this?

[Red Velvet]

I just always loved coming up with my own hobbies. I love.

[Scott Aukerman]

You mean you. You invented hobbies. So it's a hobby store where you've invented.

[Red Velvet]

Well, we sell normal exacto knives and sprue cutters. And don't forget Gundam models.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, wow.

[Red Velvet]

But I like to invent my own hobbies.

[Scott Aukerman]

What are some of the hobbies you've invented?

[Red Velvet]

I make my own homemade D box chairs.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, my film's coming out in Debo.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, I can't wait to hook it up to my chair.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, I. I'd like to. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

D box, of course, are the rumbling chairs that kind of move around.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, and. And if you make them at home, you're not restricted to any sort of oversight from the government. You can just.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it rumbles even harder.

[Red Velvet]

Rumbles more shoots, shakes. Water has missed since.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, this is 4D stuff.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you sit in the chair yourself or do you invite people over and you rumble the chair?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Are you just.

[Edgar Wright]

Are you the rumbler or rumblee?

[Red Velvet]

Well, I'm the rumbely when it's in effect, when I got it hooked up to the tv. But I will invite some of my flirting participants over.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, hello.

[Red Velvet]

You know me. I love to flirt.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know you. I'm taking this on faith.

[Edgar Wright]

What are some of your. What are your. Some of your flirt lines, Some of your chatter lines.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, I'm glad you asked. I have lots of flirt. The number one thing. This is the first thing you should always say when you're trying to flirt. I love your floppy brown hat.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. Interesting. Does that happen a lot? I guess in Alaska you have to wear a hat.

[Red Velvet]

Not really.

[Scott Aukerman]

So what if they're not wearing a floppy brown hat?

[Red Velvet]

I'm so glad you asked, Scott. Cause you do need A contingency plan if they're not.

[Scott Aukerman]

What percentage of people are wearing the floppy brown hat?

[Red Velvet]

Under one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Red Velvet]

Then your next line is, if they don't have the floppy brown hat, I love your dangly purple bracelet.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so that's number two. Now, what happens in the rare occurrence that they're not wearing either of these?

[Red Velvet]

Then you move on to line number three on the flirt chart. That's a wonderful jack o' lantern you're holding.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, that. That. I would imagine that would only come into play for a couple of weeks during the year. These are so specific.

[Edgar Wright]

11 months away, guys.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

No, I agree. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So what's number four?

[Red Velvet]

Ever sat in a homemade D box chair?

[Scott Aukerman]

How often? Is that the one you're leading with?

[Red Velvet]

Oh, I'll wait till it's four. Sometimes you get the first three.

[Edgar Wright]

Okay, now a bite we haven't cleared up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Er.

[Edgar Wright]

I know what W means. Now, what does the D stand for in D box?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a good question. They never told us.

[Red Velvet]

Destruction.

[Scott Aukerman]

Destruction box.

[Red Velvet]

It destroys your colon. Colon? Yeah, the amount of sort of. Yeah. Foods shooting in your mouth that aren't black coffee spraying in your mouth, you know?

[Scott Aukerman]

And why did you get into the D box? Like, did you go sit in one in the theater? And it just.

[Bean Dip]

Mm.

[Red Velvet]

30 years ago, I went to a movie and thought the experience could have been enhanced.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. So D box wasn't even invented. Yeah. I remember the first time I ever went, and it was, like, Fast and Furious.

[Red Velvet]

The fourth one. Well, I went, let's see, 1995. Late. Late 95. Yep. I saw Babe.

[Scott Aukerman]

And you thought this would only be better if your chair was shaking.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Whenever. What? The pig would cry or cry. Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

What do you oink? I wanted the. You know, the chair to oink. You want the chair to wink back in response. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know that that's what D box does. I think it just.

[Red Velvet]

Mine does. Okay. And. And it ain't no sound effect, I'll tell you that.

[Scott Aukerman]

What does that mean?

[Red Velvet]

There's a little pig pin below the seat.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Edgar Wright]

So you. Your D box with the. With the pig inside that. That basically works best for two movies.

[Scott Aukerman]

Babe and the rube.

[Edgar Wright]

I was gonna go and say babe.

[Scott Aukerman]

2.

[Edgar Wright]

Picking the same.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, it works great on that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

But anybody's in the room.

[Red Velvet]

Would you expect any less from the town flirt?

[Bean Dip]

Velvet. Can I ask you something about your flirty?

[Red Velvet]

Sure. And by the way, it's red with two Ds. Like, Chris Red oh, very cool.

[Scott Aukerman]

Big Saturday Night Live fan.

[Red Velvet]

Well, my parents were.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know. Okay, sure. Did you know who Frank Gillespie was? She was a writer on that.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, I mostly follow the writers.

[Scott Aukerman]

She was at SNL 50, I believe.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, yeah?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Anyway, go ahead.

[Bean Dip]

So if you try your things on the. You try your lines for people from flirting.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

If you get somebody who is receptive to your advances, then. Well, how does it happen? What goes down?

[Red Velvet]

Well, I. It's just flirting for fun. It's usually. I've been married for. I got. Oh, you're married for 30 years in a day.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, wait, so you got married the day before you saw.

[Red Velvet]

Before I started working at the hobby shop.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. And also before you saw Babe. Yeah, but did all those things happen right around the same time?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, I started a hobby shop. I spent my first paycheck on a ticket to Babe.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, and then that gave you the idea to start your own hobbies?

[Red Velvet]

To start. Yeah. I stopped making panzer tanks and P51 Mustangs and I. And I started moving on into making my own D box chairs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, but. But I want to get back to. You're married.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who. How does your partner feel about you flirting and being the town flirt?

[Red Velvet]

She don't mind. We don't see much of each other. Why is that ours? It's been about 25 years in our skid that our schedules haven't really lined up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Edgar Wright]

What does she do?

[Red Velvet]

She's a night nurse.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, yeah?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Okay.

[Bean Dip]

So you don't really go on dates for anybody?

[Red Velvet]

No, I. I just get. I flirt with people that come in the hobby shop and. Yeah, my wife and I kind of like ships passing in the wind.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are you sleeping at the same time? Is that why you.

[Red Velvet]

The opposite times. She's on her night shift while I sleep and then she gets home while I'm working at the hobby shop.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it's 12 hour shifts for both or instead of eating. Exactly.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

Have you ever had a customer in the shop who's wearing a floppy brown hat and a dangly purple pendant?

[Red Velvet]

Yes.

[Edgar Wright]

What happened?

[Red Velvet]

Well.

[Edgar Wright]

And which line did you go with first?

[Red Velvet]

I went with brown hat. Right, fellas, you gotta start with the brown hat line.

[Bean Dip]

Can you try it on me?

[Red Velvet]

Wear velvet bean dip. I love your floppy brown hat.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, wow. Thanks. I felt kind of good when I left the house wearing my floppy brown hat.

[Red Velvet]

It really complements your velvet one piece jumpsuit.

[Bean Dip]

Thank you so much, man. It's really nice to meet a nice person in this place.

[Red Velvet]

Thank You. What brings you in to Anchorage? Hobbies.

[Bean Dip]

I've lived here for a while and have always been too shy to come into different stores. So today, I thought, was the day.

[Red Velvet]

May I interest you in some sprue cutters?

[Bean Dip]

Well, if that means a kiss, then yes.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, dear. I've stepped over a line. What will Eileen think?

[Scott Aukerman]

Eileen is your wife. Your wife. And so this has never happened before where anyone's taken you up on your floor?

[Red Velvet]

No, it's always been harmless flirting.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's been rebuffed, in fact.

[Red Velvet]

Mostly, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

When you say mostly, what are the times that it has not been rebuffed?

[Red Velvet]

It went down exactly like how you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just heard, okay, and you said, oh, no, I've stepped over a line. And then what happened with Eileen?

[Red Velvet]

I went. I wrote her a Post it and put it on the fridge to let her know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Red Velvet]

I never really got a response.

[Edgar Wright]

Has Eileen ever come back early from work and found somebody in the house watching Babe on the D box?

[Red Velvet]

Yes. That was a low point in our marriage.

[Scott Aukerman]

It sounds like your marriage has been all low points, I have to say, for the past 25 years. Since 2000. What happened in 2000? Oh, she got this job. Okay. Yeah. So what happened then? She comes, she walks into the room, sees who's. Who's in the D box. Chair.

[Red Velvet]

Well, it was one of our customers who sounded rather interested in my. My D box. My homemade D box.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Red Velvet]

And so I was still at the store working, but I gave them the keys to the house so they could come over.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. And so Eileen comes in. There's a stranger, a customer. Like someone who just lives in Anchorage, I guess.

[Red Velvet]

Yes, exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

And male. Female.

[Red Velvet]

Male.

[Scott Aukerman]

Male. So a strange man in. In her house.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, I'm bisexual. I flirt with everybody.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. And I don't think that's exactly what that means, but.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

But. But. But fine. Yeah, we don't need to put a label on.

[Red Velvet]

They're watching Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. And, you know, it's that scene where you're kind of in the point of view of the arrow flying. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Pov.

[Red Velvet]

And it's. I mean, she said she walked in POV of the arrow oinking pigs, just going crazy. They're going crazy. Yeah, they were going. They were hog wild.

[Scott Aukerman]

Literally.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And so what. How did she react?

[Red Velvet]

What are you doing in my house? My husband flirt with you?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, go. Go back to that store.

[Red Velvet]

I'm home to sleep now.

[Scott Aukerman]

So a bit. A big argument and then. But. But you did not see her after that so, no. How did you. How did you hear that? This was her reaction.

[Red Velvet]

The ring cam.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. You had a Ring Cam 25 years ago. Oh, no, I guess.

[Red Velvet]

No, this is more recent.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is more recently. Okay, right. Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

2019.

[Scott Aukerman]

2019.

[Edgar Wright]

Okay with it. Was the customer annoyed that they didn't see the rest of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. They came back and they said, I want my money back. And I said, well, there was no transaction involved.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Red Velvet]

I just told you about my homemade chair. Gave you the keys to my house. You went and watched one of my movies on my.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you end up giving his money back, though? What?

[Red Velvet]

Yes, obviously. But then he left. I thought, hey, I've been rob.

[Scott Aukerman]

And did you come home and everything was out?

[Red Velvet]

No, I called the police.

[Scott Aukerman]

I was robbed. I was robbed. And then when you explained the situation.

[Red Velvet]

Well, guess who showed up. And now in an officer uniform, that exact guy.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no, this goes all the way up to the top.

[Red Velvet]

It goes to the top. Yeah, it. They made a show about it. Night Country.

[Scott Aukerman]

Night Country. Okay. Sounds like a good show. Does it start with a scene of you at the hobby shop and asking.

[Red Velvet]

The person in the original script? It did, and then Jody Foster cut it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, it's the True Detective.

[Edgar Wright]

It's part of the Maverick universe.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, it is part of the Maverick. Yes, yes, exactly.

[Bean Dip]

How did Arlene. What happened after all this? What did she. Was she like, look, I'm not coming back here for a little while or.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, it's been 19 years into you guys.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, yeah, well, I, you know, I made it up to where I left her favorite flower on her pillowcase.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, what is it?

[Red Velvet]

Sunflower, dude.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. And that was. She took that well, then.

[Red Velvet]

Or. Well, except for the bees that were on it.

[Bean Dip]

Oh, my gosh.

[Scott Aukerman]

How many bees are we talking?

[Red Velvet]

How many are in a hive?

[Scott Aukerman]

A lot of bees.

[Red Velvet]

Okay. That many.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Why put a bee soaked flower on her pillow? This is.

[Red Velvet]

They were on the back, obviously.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, obviously.

[Bean Dip]

He didn't say the.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Red Velvet]

I put it down. Well, she put her head down, then I'm checking the ring cam. I'm getting stung by so many bees.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why do you have a ring cam in your bedroom?

[Red Velvet]

We have a ring cam in every room. It's one of my hobbies.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sounds like you're a pervert.

[Red Velvet]

No, no, I. I have the same hobby as that guy from Sliver.

[Edgar Wright]

Billy Baldwin.

[Red Velvet]

Yes, exactly. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Having sex in a shower with Sharon Stone. That's one of his hobbies, I think.

[Red Velvet]

Sure. Yeah, she likes to be spied on.

[Scott Aukerman]

So. So your hobbies are making your homemade D box chairs and taping every little thing. Every little thing. And watching it?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, I. I have access to every ring cam and Anchorage.

[Scott Aukerman]

You do?

[Bean Dip]

Oh, how.

[Scott Aukerman]

How do you have access to them?

[Red Velvet]

Because I have a ring cam set up inside the server farm.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Red Velvet]

Has all the.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what they don't tell you about. If you put one of the ring cams inside the server farm that sees every ring cam, then would you expect.

[Red Velvet]

Any less from the town flirt?

[Bean Dip]

Seriously, Scott, I have a theory. The red velvet. Let me ask. Did you get access to the server farm because you flirted with somebody who worked there?

[Red Velvet]

Well, let's just say she did have a floppy hat and purple bracelet and was holding a jack o' lantern.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, golly. This is the person in charge of the server farm. You got access to it. Put your own ring cam. And did she expect anything from you for this, or.

[Red Velvet]

Well, she might have, yes. Been expecting a gentle smooch on the cheek.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you did not give her one. Have you ever cheated on.

[Red Velvet]

On Eileen? No, I just. I handed her a flower and I said, free you, my lady, but my heart belongs to another.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did this flower have a ton of bees on it as well?

[Red Velvet]

Yes. And centipedes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Centipedes. Oh, no.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Red Velvet]

Bird of paradise.

[Scott Aukerman]

You gotta start going to an actual florist instead of just picking flowers out of yards.

[Red Velvet]

True.

[Scott Aukerman]

It is true.

[Red Velvet]

It's true. But it's one of my flirt techniques.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

Hey, are you picking fire out of my yard? A lot of people at Anchorage sound like me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Red velvet. I thought you were gonna come on and just talk about working in the hobby shop, but the flirting has kind of piqued my interest. I have to ask you, you seem like you're in a loveless marriage. 25 years of not having any kind of human contact, just scheduling. I mean, after 25 years, it's not a scheduling snafu anymore. It's an issue with your marriage. Why remain in this marriage that seems so.

[Red Velvet]

Loved? Loveless. Well, that. You're casting aspersions on it. I do love my wife, okay? She loves me, as far as I know.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you love about her?

[Red Velvet]

Her wardrobe. The brown hat, the purple bracelet.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let me guess. The jack o' lantern? So she. This is your ideal woman, is Eileen?

[Red Velvet]

She's my ideal woman.

[Scott Aukerman]

And she wears this every day?

[Red Velvet]

She wears it, yeah, Pretty much every day. And then, you know, I remember, first time I saw her, I felt so in love. And I was unemployed and I said, I'm gonna get a job to earn for her.

[Scott Aukerman]

This was in 95, the day before you.

[Red Velvet]

Well, we met in 94.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Red Velvet]

Where we were seeing Quiz Show.

[Bean Dip]

Is she alive still?

[Red Velvet]

As far as I am aware.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, the ring cam would tell you, right? Do you check the ring cams every single day or.

[Red Velvet]

Let me check right now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. What's she up to?

[Red Velvet]

Watching a movie on the D box.

[Scott Aukerman]

Are the pigs squealing?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. Oh, the pigs are squealing aplenty. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Which movie? We got Deliverance.

[Edgar Wright]

Right?

[Red Velvet]

Deliverance. Yeah, exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. That's a perfect movie to watch on that.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. She's watching Deliverance. She's laughing and laughing, having a great old time.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's a funny movie.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. She loves.

[Edgar Wright]

Especially the second half.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I can only imagine, though, keeping pigs in the house. Is that where they stay? Under the D box.

[Bean Dip]

Under the D box by down by the Sea.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bean Dip]

With my baby.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is going to be a hit for Windows, so. But it must get dirty and smell bad in that room.

[Red Velvet]

A pig's dream.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Pigs like that. I mean, yeah, they like to roll around in the mud and stuff, but humans don't really like that kind of stuff. Do you live in an apartment? A house.

[Red Velvet]

A house.

[Scott Aukerman]

A house, yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

Yep.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, you say, do I not like the mud and the smells? Yeah, I love them. They're only under the D box.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right.

[Red Velvet]

The rest of the house isn't a mud pit. I could walk around and not track mud everywhere.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, all right. Sure. It just seems smelly to me at least.

[Red Velvet]

Sure. Though I have clothes pins from the hobby shop.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Bean Dip]

Like a cartoon man. You put a clothespin on your nose.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. Big clothespin on my nose.

[Bean Dip]

Ah, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that prevents you, I would imagine, when you smell something really good and you start to float towards it. If you put the clothes bit on your nose, you return back.

[Red Velvet]

My neighbor is a. Bakes wonderful pies.

[Scott Aukerman]

Leaves them out on the sill.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, it leaves them out. I'm always floating through the air toward them. My neighbor said, hey, you gotta stop that. Yeah, you're stealing all my pies. Don't you have clothes pins at the hobby shop? And I said, oh, you're right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

So then I put all my clothes. Clothes pins.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right. So that's. So you're wandering around the house wearing clothes pins, and Eileen's over there working in the. At the hospital. Hospital a lot like Dr. Morgenstern from ER.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, tell me about that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, He. Well, he was head of the er.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, I was the administrator of.

[Scott Aukerman]

Administrator. And then he would be in and out. I think he was filming Fargo at the time for one full season, so he wasn't there as much. And then had to. Had to leave the hospital.

[Edgar Wright]

14 seasons.

[Scott Aukerman]

15 seasons. But Dr. Morgenstern only was in 31 episodes.

[Edgar Wright]

And if you could rank the 15 seasons in a completely random order. What we.

[Scott Aukerman]

In a completely random order? Sure. Yeah. 1, 8, 7, 5, 9, 15, 12, 11, 13, 14, 2, 7, 4. Is that the one I forgot?

[Bean Dip]

That was good.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thanks.

[Red Velvet]

To you, that's random. But to me, it's my ATM code.

[Bean Dip]

Write it down, everybody.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a long ATM code.

[Red Velvet]

I had to make a special request.

[Scott Aukerman]

And they granted it.

[Red Velvet]

B mode. Sure did.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, bmo. They're a different kind of bag. Yeah, that's why they. Yeah, I love those commercials.

[Red Velvet]

They're from Montreal. The.

[Scott Aukerman]

The commercials are shot in Montreal.

[Red Velvet]

I don't. I have. That's a good question.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, BMO is Montreal Bank. They don't. Is that what the M and BMO stands for? Montreal.

[Red Velvet]

Not to mention the O.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bank of Montreal. Oh, that's what it is. Oh, okay.

[Bean Dip]

You look. I thought that was the same thing as BevMo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Bean Dip]

I didn't even know it was a bank.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it was just a cooler way to say BevMo.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah. I thought, oh, well, if you. If you're somebody who needs a bunch of liquor, then you got a bmo.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. Not to mention Venmo, but.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah. Talk about confusing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you think BEVMO and Venmo are the same kind of thing? Was that confusing for you?

[Red Velvet]

Well, Venmo and BMO sort of are the same kind of thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, in a way. Yeah. They both handle money. I feel like we're getting off track here. What's going on at the hobby shop these days?

[Red Velvet]

We're getting people coming in, buying products. We sell them to them, they leave.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, so you came on here not prepared to talk about the hobby shop at all?

[Red Velvet]

I'll talk for hours about the hobby shop.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Red Velvet]

Help.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hey, I may take you up on this. Great.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, we sell paints. We got Vallejo paints. We sell airbrushes. We've got tamiya, extra thin cement.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about trains and models and stuff like that?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, we got those. We got trains and models and.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you know, Gundam.

[Red Velvet]

Gundam? Oh, yeah. Gunpla. You know, we got. We got Zakus and we got RG78s.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you have anything from Battlestar Galactica? Like a Cylon Raider or anything like that?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, we have one Cylon Raider.

[Edgar Wright]

Okay. Just the one.

[Red Velvet]

Just the one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just the one.

[Red Velvet]

They go quick.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you have. Is it Muffy the dog?

[Red Velvet]

Yes. Yeah, we got three of those, actually.

[Edgar Wright]

Muffins.

[Scott Aukerman]

Muffet. Oh, so they're in stock?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, yeah. Well, last I checked, I came here to promote the store.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're here promoting the store?

[Red Velvet]

I think so. I just can't help but be the town.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like I noticed, you haven't. I mean, other than the play acting with bean dip over here, you haven't flirted with either Edgar nor I really anyone in the room. So when you're not in the town, you no longer flirt?

[Red Velvet]

Correct. I'm all business.

[Edgar Wright]

I would like you to invite me back to see your D box.

[Scott Aukerman]

You've been salivating this entire filthy coming.

[Red Velvet]

Out of my mouth. All right, here we go. All right. No brown hair at. Skipping that one. No purple bracelet. What? No, no purple bracelet. Skipping that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

He has a swatch on. That's maybe what was confusing about not holding the jack.

[Red Velvet]

Later. All right, time to move on, Mr. R. Feels so weird saying that. Would you?

[Scott Aukerman]

Why?

[Red Velvet]

Because it's what everyone's looking for.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, that's funny.

[Red Velvet]

Thanks. Is that why you're laughing?

[Edgar Wright]

Hey, this is my flow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to block you.

[Red Velvet]

I hear you're moving movies coming out in D box.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Would you like to hear it with a homemade D box that has pigs underneath it and. Yeah, shoots water. Regardless of what's happening on screen, where.

[Scott Aukerman]

Does it shoot the water on the.

[Red Velvet]

Person or just depends up. Well, that does depend on what's happening. Okay. If the sound is panned left, it's got to shoot at you from the left, you know?

[Scott Aukerman]

Any other effects? Shaking, rumbling, pig squealing.

[Red Velvet]

Rumbling, pig squealing. Sometimes little robot arms come out and open a can of paint thinner and. Oh, wow, you sort of get a little last whiff of that.

[Scott Aukerman]

So just for the smell. Okay. It doesn't. Doesn't throw it on you or anything like that?

[Red Velvet]

Oh, no, no, I'm not crazy.

[Edgar Wright]

Do you happen to have Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves?

[Red Velvet]

I do, yep. And I have a cut. Up, up to the pov. Arrow shots.

[Edgar Wright]

Now, does the arrow actually come out of the TV and hit you?

[Red Velvet]

Yes, one arrow, but it sort of comes out backwards to keep the cuz it's. It's pointing one way on the screen.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it's sort of pointing away from camera.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, no, I. I am the arrow. Okay. I'm going.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. So it sort of comes in reverse out of the screen.

[Scott Aukerman]

So it shoots from behind you. From. From the seat back behind you or something?

[Red Velvet]

No, it's more like the ring on the screen.

[Scott Aukerman]

It. It's.

[Red Velvet]

It's. You're sort of in position as if there's a GoPro on the camera and it's flying forward.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know a lot about movie making.

[Red Velvet]

Thank you. But. But then what my contraption does is sort of a little model train comes out from under the tv.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Carrying an arrow backwards.

[Scott Aukerman]

Got it.

[Red Velvet]

Toward you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Toward you. Okay.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. And then it kind of goes up a ramp and goes right and sort of stops right chest.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is it. Now, is this used for any other movie you watch on the D box, this ramp arrow contraption.

[Red Velvet]

You can use it for a lot of point of view shots, curving bullets.

[Scott Aukerman]

And Wanted Carlito's Way. There's.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

A lot of POV in that.

[Bean Dip]

Maybe like 7 private riding the beach at Nuremberg.

[Red Velvet]

Yeah, exactly.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is it Nuremberg or Normandy?

[Bean Dip]

I'm not sure that's what I'm at.

[Red Velvet]

Oh, I. Like you said, Judgment at.

[Bean Dip]

I'm at Normandy Star the beach. Everybody knows it.

[Edgar Wright]

Judgment at Nuremberg is a good one in Debo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's great, man. When that final gavel goes down for the final judgment, boom, Just shakes the chair. So, Edgar, are you gonna accept his.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, absolutely. I'd love. I'd love to. I'd love to come.

[Red Velvet]

Great.

[Edgar Wright]

I feel like everything coming out of my mouth is filthy.

[Red Velvet]

Hey, you should see what goes into mine.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, my God.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that one of your pickup lines?

[Red Velvet]

That's one of my classes. Flirts.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, I. I gotta say, red velvet. You're a fascinating guy. I expected to mainly talk about your hobby shop. Do you. Do you want to plug anything with the hobby shop there or the hours of operation or anything like that?

[Red Velvet]

We're having a sale on dry brush paint brushes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. And for one. Two for one.

[Red Velvet]

Bogo.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, That's. I mean, those are. That's. That's pretty good deal. Yeah.

[Red Velvet]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

And people can get that at Anchorage. Well, guys, we are running out of time, unfortunately. I hate to say we only have time for one final feature on the show, and that is, of course, a little something called plugs. Gonna spend the rest of my life trying to laugh myself to death. Even if it costs every penny I got. Darling, you can have what's left after Comedy Bang Bang. 99.99 a year after Comedy Bang Bang. You are a close second, my dear. Oh, that was laugh Myself to Death by Pixeltree Mill thanks to Pixeltree Mill. If you have a Plugs theme, head over to cbbworld.com plugs and you can upload it there. We also have everything you need for the remixes. And what do we plug in, Edgar? Of course. The Running mom.

[Edgar Wright]

The Running Man. November 14th. May or May not feature cartoon legs running the entire time.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

And my body on. No, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Scott Aukerman]

Tell me you didn't text the wrong thing.

[Edgar Wright]

I. I got it wrong. I put my body on Glenn Powell's head.

[Jenny Slate / Gabe Liedman / Max Silvestri]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

This movie's gonna tank.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, no.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, no.

[Edgar Wright]

Now I have to come back. Now I'll have to come back. I also just. On Variety, it said that Edgar wrong ankled. Scooby, don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

He ankled it.

[Edgar Wright]

He ankled it. Oh, what a bummer. Yeah, I was looking forward to that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, that's too bad. Maybe you have a shot then. It's in turnaround. It seems like.

[Edgar Wright]

Turn around.

[Scott Aukerman]

Bright eyes everywhere and bright. Speaking of bright eyes, we have bean dip over here with the brightest eyes. Oh, no. These are your contacts.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah. I have my all whites in.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you put them in. That's really disconcerting.

[Bean Dip]

That's right. You don't know if I'm alive or if I'm a ghosty.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure that's.

[Edgar Wright]

A good name for the company. All whites.

[Bean Dip]

Yeah, it probably is not great.

[Scott Aukerman]

I want to rethink that part of it. But other than that, anything else you want to plug?

[Bean Dip]

I'll show, man. I'll say. You know, there's photo mine if you were to go see probably she does a show called Playgirl at Dynasty Typewriter. You could go see that. Or if you like watching TV shows, you could watch all four seasons of the Righteous Gemstones on hbo.

[Scott Aukerman]

I thought you meant all episodes of the four seasons. But you're talking about all four seasons of the Righteous.

[Bean Dip]

I mean, check that out. If that's your thing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Bean Dip]

Hey, guys, check out the Four Seasons and Red Velvet.

[Scott Aukerman]

What do you want to play?

[Red Velvet]

Plug. I'll plug. My friend has a show called Digman that's streaming on Paramount. Plus season one. Hey, there's an episode with Edgar Rat.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Wow.

[Edgar Wright]

Not invited back for season two. Very, very upset.

[Scott Aukerman]

What are you playing? That Edgar.

[Edgar Wright]

I forget what.

[Red Velvet]

My boxing announcer.

[Edgar Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Red Velvet]

Tragedy struck as we were recording.

[Edgar Wright]

That's right.

[Bean Dip]

Yes.

[Edgar Wright]

This is true. When? Whilst I was recording. This is true story. Whilst I was recording my part in Digman season one, the queen died.

[Scott Aukerman]

No like literally or. Or the. It was. The news was released that she had died. Do you think that you. I think, died right when you were recording?

[Edgar Wright]

Well, I just think that I. I don't want to. I don't want to build up my part too much, but my part in Digman spans reigns.

[Red Velvet]

Whoa.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is incredible.

[Edgar Wright]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

So the queen and the king.

[Edgar Wright]

The queen and the king. I mean, I don't think anybody else on Dig man can claim that.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't think so. I mean, maybe Andy Samberg, since some of the episodes were probably done beforehand and some.

[Red Velvet]

Well, maybe. But I. You'll have to ask him.

[Scott Aukerman]

You'll. I will ask him. Yeah. I know this is beyond your purview.

[Red Velvet]

Season two will be there someday. Who knows?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah.

[Edgar Wright]

Can I come back for season three?

[Red Velvet]

Yeah. Yeah. Season three.
