Episode Overview
This special “Bonus Bang” episode is a love letter to the iconic CBB character Alimony Tony (Paul F. Tompkins), who famously adores paying alimony to his many ex-wives. As part of the Alimony Tony miniseries, Tony gathers a handpicked group of his ex-wives to reminisce about love, life, divorce settlements, and the oddly nourishing joys of writing alimony checks. Each ex’s over-the-top quirks and entrepreneurial failures add to the bombastic and affectionate roasting style that defines the show. At heart, this is an uproarious, improvisational character jam about relationships, self-improvement, and the thin line between affection and absurdity.

Tone & Style
Wild, affectionate, and packed with rapid-fire comedic improvisation. The ex-wives’ banter blends over-the-top eccentricity with authentic emotional beats, especially around money, self-worth, and post-divorce reinvention. Sexual innuendo abounds, but always with a wink and warmth.
For New Listeners
Even without prior knowledge of Alimony Tony or each performer’s signature style, this episode stands as a hilarious portrait of absurdly amicable exes, loaded with boisterous character work, running gags (STEM!), heartfelt advice, and shameless celebration of self and failure. Come for the song parodies, stay for “Live Love Lingus.”
