Release Date: November 20, 2025
Host: Scott Aukerman
Featured Performers: Ego Nwodim, Carl Tart, Paul F. Tompkins, Lily Sullivan, Drew Tarver, Vic Michaelis, Will Hines
Episode Overview
This episode, originally a Comedy Bang Bang Presents exclusive, unleashes a wild, character-driven parody of “Shark Tank,” with Ego Nwodim’s iconic “Entre P? Neur” and Carl Tart’s “Appetizer P? Neur” holding court as semi-competent, always chaotic “investors” on a fictional tour bus. A parade of eccentric inventors (played by comedy all-stars) pitch their weirdest business ideas, vying for money—or at the very least to stay out of jail.
The show flows with rapid-fire improv, absurdist invention, obliviously earnest pitches, and running jokes about rectangles, cubes, and legal liability, all capped off by hilarious character work and meta-commentary.
Key Segments & Discussion Points
1. The Entrepreneurs Arrive (03:35–06:28)
- Premise setup: The “Entrepreneur Tour” is introduced as a cross between "Shark Tank" and a chaotic family reunion. Entrée P? Neur (Ego Nwodim) loves rectangles and measuring value by “rectangles with pictures of old white men.” Her brother, Appetizer P? Neur (Carl Tart), is a Satanist with a storied past, “fourth lead guitar in the Eagles” and a Rutherford B. Hayes tramp stamp.
- Rules: Pitches must result in investment or the entrepreneur “goes to jail.”
- Entrée’s Philosophy:
- “Every good invention starts with a rectangle. But that's again, just the fact. Got me giggling.” – Entrée P? Neur (08:14)
- "The stakes are high, but the profits could be higher. The prosecution could be even higher." (09:19)
2. Pat and Paul Schmaztans: Feeding the Shut-Ins (09:45–21:00)
Pitch: A neighbor-based food delivery service for people who refuse to leave their homes, riffing on the concept of a “shabbos goy” (minus any cultural appropriateness) and culminating in musical numbers about couscous.
- Highlights:
- Endless confusion about spellings (Schmaztans, Shut-ins), and a revelation that the couple has complicated relationship dynamics (“We are a lesbian couple—and you’re bi!”).
- Extended musical improv about couscous delivery and “Oatly ice cream”—with Entrée not having it:
- “Oats are grains, oats are grains. And you’re pissing me off.” – Entrée (17:34)
- Wild asides about “Irritable B(I) Syndrome,” throuples, and resting “bi-face.”
- The pitch devolves with convoluted logistics (“500 people will be sent out to all neighborhoods. Because they are all neighbors, technically.”)
- Verdict: Entrée and Appetizer eject them from the tour—with police sirens.
- “You’re off the tour and I have to go run an errand.” – Entrée (20:29)
- “You’re off the tour. Pack your bag. Just one more thing and go be a neighbor.” – Entrée (19:58)
3. Parents Foster: Restaurant Kids Menu for Adults (25:48–38:51)
Pitch: A restaurant where the entire menu is comprised of kids' meals you can order at any age, from chicken fingers to quesadillas and juice.
- Character backstory: Parents Foster’s name, explaining being "in the phone book is Foster Parents," spawns lengthy name jokes.
- Parents delivers his pitch as a commercial, repeatedly using “Gone are the days…” over Entrée’s interruptions.
- Comedy emerges from Parents’ preciousness (“Love is scary for me… When someone says they love me, I usually don’t say it back.”) and the restaurant’s physical setting (“You sit on beanbags. You can draw on the wall with crayons.”)
- Food samples: The group taste-tests a weird menu (“Butter noodles with cinnamon toast,” “cheese sticks a la mode,” “beans with a giant Oreo as a spoon”).
- Michael Jackson/Macaulay Culkin references proliferate as Entrée accuses Parents of missing his childhood.
- Business Negotiations:
- Parents offers 50% equity for $7,800; negotiations spiral to “several bags of gas, 90% ownership.”
- “I take Bitcoin or a bag of gas.” – Parents (37:07)
- Verdict: Investment granted. Parents Foster is now “family” and allowed to stay on the bus.
4. Alex Lilly (and the Mysterious Pear Product): Legal Drama & Redaction (42:12–53:36)
Pitch: “Pear Redacted”—the actual product’s name and details are hidden due to a court case; half the display is physically covered.
- Hilarity arises as Alex tries to explain her business while being legally constrained, leading to endless “redacted” fill-ins akin to a game of Mad Libs.
- Darker comic undertones: A “falling out” with her sister supposedly ended in murder; Alex vacillates over whether a dead body is under the display.
- Entrée pushes Alex to describe the product in five words, which Alex fails, then succeeds via spinning a “word bank” wheel:
- “I’m not a bad person. Murder.” (51:05)
- Reveal: The revolutionary invention is… pear sauce (“It’s like applesauce, but made of pears instead of apples.” – 52:17)
- Verdict: Immediate rejection—Alex is going to jail, mostly for being a murderer but also for overselling pear sauce and legal troubles.
- “We can't go into business with a felon.”
5. Ralph Devoe: The Block Talker (Tech Cube) (55:29–77:04)
Pitch: The “Block Talker,” a physical cube that is supposed to act as an intermediary to improve voice commands for smartphones, but only does one thing (opens Spotify), has to be held/not touched by fabric, can’t be a cube, etc.
- Rapid-fire absurdity: Entrée’s obsession that successful inventions must be rectangles, not cubes; nitpicking about tech compatibility ("What if you have a part-machine, part-human robot?").
- Negotiations get petty—Entrée presses for device shape to be changed to a rectangle.
- Ralph concedes: “I can make it a rectangle.” – (70:38)
- Family/Backstories: Sports team loyalty disputes (Steelers/Ravens), more Michael Jackson jokes, and Entrée’s insistence that ‘every man has two families.’
- Business Reality:
- “I’ll give you the whole 100% of Block Talker, Inc… for $20.” (73:15)
- Verdict: Money exchanged; Ralph joins the “family,” which keeps expanding. A surreal, energy-drunk group high-energy ending follows.
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- Entrée on invention:
“Let me tell you about it. They say great minds think alike. And I'm like, great minds do not think, honey.” (07:50) - Pat Schmaztan sighs:
“What we need on the ground tomorrow is 500 people, preferably neighbors, working in communities together...” (17:55) - Entrée, on bi representation:
“Resting bi face. Rustic bi face.” (18:45) - Parents Foster, on his commercial pitch:
“You can sit back, relax, and eat a small portion of spaghetti and meatballs with a side of fruit snacks.” (29:25) - Michael Jackson jokes:
“You are wearing a bright, shiny glove. A sequin glove... And a jacket with all them zippers. Jerry curl is dripping all over my couch.” (31:39) - Block Talker struggles:
“So you have to…hide your phone position thing if you’re driving…What if you just want to talk directly to the phone?” (59:35) - Entrée, on shape issues:
“A cube should be a rectangle. And that’s just on the period.” (70:05) - The family expands:
“Would you like to be part of our family? … You’ll be hearing pitches with us. But not today. Another day.” (77:04) - Entrée, as show closes:
“Well, that's the end of our show. I guess you can call me outro P? Nua. That's my little joke.” (77:51)

Tone & Style
The episode is a spirited, unhinged blend of improvised character comedy, word play, and relentless riffing. The characters frequently deny the premise of the pitches, argue about completely unrelated minutiae, and launch into musical asides and bizarre hypothetical tangents. The show’s loose structure allows for rapid pivots and running in-jokes, all sustained by the chemistry and comic commitment of the cast.
Summary for New Listeners
This episode delivers classic Comedy Bang Bang chaos: relentless bits, unexpected character backgrounds, and a parade of failing entrepreneurial ideas, mostly satirizing both reality pitches and the conventions of their own fictional world. If you enjoy improv, recurring catchphrases (“that’s on period”), and character comedians breaking each other up, this is a great entry (or reentry) to the CBB universe. The laughs come from both the silly invention pitches and how seriously absurd the cast commits to the family drama unfolding aboard this imaginary tour bus.
