Paul F. Tompkins as Alimony Tony: Wealth, Love, and Comedy

Introducing Alimony Tony, portrayed by Paul F. Tompkins, Scott sets the stage for a character steeped in humor and exaggerated wealth. Alimony Tony’s backstory revolves around his mother's invention of gaseous paper, a fantastical twist that made his family trillionaires—a running gag that underscores the comedic nature of his character.

The conversation takes a playful turn as Alimony Tony navigates his multiple divorces, expressing a peculiar fondness for alimony payments. His interactions with Gillian Jacobs spark a humorous, pseudo-romantic tension, complete with absurd wedding proposals and lizard-themed banter.

Alimony Tony [15:39]: "What a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for having me. It's me, Alimony Tony."

Their exchange culminates in an improvised, comedic wedding ceremony, showcasing the podcast's hallmark improvisational style and the chemistry between the hosts and guests.

No episode would be complete without Orville Redenbacher, brought to life by Carl Tart, embodying the iconic popcorn mogul. Orville humorously discusses his booming business during the pandemic, combining real-world brand recognition with fictional exaggerations about his age and wealth.

The dialogue between Scott, Gillian, and Orville brims with popcorn puns, playful jabs, and surreal humor. Orville’s interactions often intersect with both Alimony Tony and Gillian, creating a dynamic interplay that keeps the conversation lively and unpredictable.

Orville Redenbacher [50:07]: "And I tell you, boy, since this pandemic been happening, Scott, we've been going through the roof."

Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another week. The spookiest week of the year. That's right. Rent is due in approximately seven days. Get your finances together last week of October. My name is Scott Aukerman, by the way. We have an amazing show for you today. Believe it or not, we have an entrepreneur coming a little later that's very exciting. Someone with a business. We also have. You know, I believe this person is independently wealthy and doesn't work so hard to describe this person, but an old favorite will be returning. But speaking of old favorites and returning, and in fact, old favorites returning, we have one of our favorite guests on the show is here with us. She hasn't been on in approximately 2.2.5 years or so. Always a great episod. Whenever she comes back, she has a movie called Come Play, which is coming out this Friday in theaters everywhere. Everywhere there is a theater. You will be able to see this movie. Please welcome back to the show Gilly and Jacobs. Hello, Gilly.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

[Scott Aukerman]

Your catchphrase. You always say it. You said it every episode. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad we got it out of the way here. Welcome back to the show. Gillian Jacobs.

[Gillian Jacobs]

So much for having me back.

[Scott Aukerman]

Late of Community and Love. And Burt Wonderstone. And that was a good poll, right? I saw that in the theater.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You're the one.

[Scott Aukerman]

I am he. I am he. Always great to see you. One of America's finest actors and a wonderful personality and also a director. I don't know if we talked about that last time you were on, but you have a documentary that you directed. I don't know whether you can say when it comes out, but it will be coming out soon. So very excited about that. You can say, I may.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I think I may. I think. It comes out November 20th on Disney. It's an episode of a new Marvel series for Disney called 616.

[Scott Aukerman]

616, which is, of course, 616 is the designation that the Marvel universe in the multiverse, the canonical Marvel universe, is the 616th Earth, of course.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Earth is 616, which is a fact I definitely knew before working on that documentary.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, of course. Because you're a huge superhero head, are you not?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, yes. I know all the super heroines and heroes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, of course. You have the man who looks like a spider.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, several of those, actually. Not going to get me on that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. I was trying to trip you up, though, so glad you said several of those. And what is your. Can we. And I know that you're here to talk about. Come play your movie. Come play. But I do want to talk about this documentary first, which is what is the subject matter of your episode?

[Gillian Jacobs]

So the subject matter of my episode of 616 is Women of Marvel. So both the female characters and also the women, the writers, the editors, the artists who have worked at Marvel over the decades. So I got to interview legends such as Anne Nocenti, Louise Steinberg, Flo Steinberg, Weezy Simonson. Yeah, I didn't get Flo. Sadly, she's passed on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's right, she's passed on.

[Gillian Jacobs]

But definitely mentioned and much beloved. And then all the way through to women who are working there now or worked there in the recent years, like Kelly sue deconnick, who wrote the run of Captain Marvel that the movie is based on, and the people who created Ms. Marvel, which is now going to be a Disney TV show. The character Kamala Khan. So I learned a tremendous amount, and I got to speak to some pretty incredible women.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's, you know, if I can learn something and speak to incredible women, that's a great day for me. And this episode is no exception because I'm learning things and I'm talking to one incredible woman right now. Gillian Jacobs of the movie Come Play, which let's talk about this now. I saw this film. I don't know if you know that, but I watched this film.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, no, I didn't know you saw it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched it here in. In my office, which, you know, look, it's a scary movie. You know, when I was asked, do you want to have Gillian Jacobs on to talk about her movie? I assumed it was another kind of movie in the, you know, genres in which you've worked a lot. And I was shocked and terrified and frightened when I opened up the email and saw that poster. And the movie was even more terrifying. This is a horror film, is it not?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes, it is a horrifying film. You never know what I'm going to do next.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's true. That is a good point.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's a horror film.

[Scott Aukerman]

I've stopped trying to predict you.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah. I mean, isn't that the fun of being an actor is getting to act in many different genres?

[Scott Aukerman]

It truly is. Well, yeah. Let's talk about this film in the film you play a MILF who essentially has. Who is the. Who has a young son.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who has a young son with special needs. Is that correct?

[Gillian Jacobs]

And I am a milf. I guess that wasn't in the script.

[Scott Aukerman]

But that's just what I was getting from it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, okay. Good to know. I'm learning. See, I'm learning things as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is this your first time playing a milf, by the way?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Uh, is it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Were any of your characters. Had any of your previous characters given birth? I'm trying to think.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I have to think back. I don't remember. Let's say yes. And then your first time. Check IMDb and verify that.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you have a son and you have a sort of estranged relationship with the son's father.

[Gillian Jacobs]

The son's father, John Gallagher Jr.

[Scott Aukerman]

This kid is really, really good, by the way. This kid is an amazing actor.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

And what is essentially the hook of the film? What's the horrifying part of it?

[Gillian Jacobs]

It was a scary monster. I'm gonna say that. I think I'm allowed to say that. Very scary monster. And I was genuinely afraid while shooting it because. Am I allowed to say. But there was a puppet. They built an enormous, enormous puppet. And so there were many puppeteers and I'd say seven foot tall puppet.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's taller. That's approximately 10 inches taller than me myself.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes. It was a Jim Henson puppet creation and it genuinely scared me. So there are some real screams in there. What does that say about me that I was even afraid acting in the scene with the puppeteers visible to me? I don't know. Maybe I'm just that good of an actor.

[Scott Aukerman]

And this is your first kind of scary movie, isn't it? I mean, it's.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, I did a film with Ken Marino called Bad Milo that also involved a puppet that was a monster that came out of Ken Marino's butt and attacked people. So I've. This is my second time being in a film in which I am attacked by a puppet.

[Scott Aukerman]

And this puppet doesn't come out of Ken Marino's butt, nor anyone's butt.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No, it doesn't. Much to the loss of this film, but it comes into our world in a different world in a different way in the film. Come Play, as you like to call it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, Come Play. And this is a scary film. I mean, I saw it here in my office, but I think it's the type of film that people would enjoy going out to a drive in. You know, I mean, it's the perfect kind of drive in movie. Where, you know, you're shouting, you're honking your horn, you're smooching, you're doing everything that you do with the drive in. You're getting snacks with your mask on. It's just the perfect All Hallows Eve film that's finally coming out at the perfect time.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott, may I ask you a question?

[Scott Aukerman]

You may ask me anything. Of course we have that kind of relationship.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Where does the term All Hallows Eve come from?

[Scott Aukerman]

I believe November 1st was All Hallows and October 31st is Halloween, which with an apostrophe is short for Eve. I believe. All Hallows Eve, something like that. But maybe a future guest knows a little bit more about this than I do. Probably so. I mean, look, what am I, Mr. Merriam Webster? I don't think so.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Sometimes when I think of you, I do. Just picture a dictionary instead of a face.

[Scott Aukerman]

Instead of a face? Yeah. Just a book on top of a neck.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott, may I ask you another question?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. You are allowed to, so this will be your last one.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Okay. How are you keeping that plant alive? Because I purchased one of those and all the leaves are falling off.

[Scott Aukerman]

All the leaves are brown. As they sang once. This is essentially, you know, my ex girlfriend, Coolop, she bought this for me and put it in my. Installed it in my office without permission, I should add. Just her view on it was the room needed brightening up with a plant, and it is dying. And she always kind of looks at me like, why aren't you doing more for this plant? And my position is, I don't like it. I don't want it here. I'm hoping it dies. So we'll see. I mean, it's been. It's been here since. For about a year now. And if you can see it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah, it still has some leaves.

[Scott Aukerman]

Still has some leaves. She comes in and sprays it with water every once in a while.

[Gillian Jacobs]

That's what my mother says. You have to mist the leaves. But I don't understand. I've run out of questions with you. But maybe one of our other guests can tell me why I missed the leaves.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I can ask you a question, though. Why do you want a plant in your house?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oxygen. I need more of it.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what they're good at, these plants. I mean, they're not just for decoration these days. They pump out that H2O.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I love oxygen.

[Scott Aukerman]

H2O. What am I trying to say?

[Gillian Jacobs]

That's water.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's water. They take in the H2O and they pump out the. Oh, boy. I Gotta tell you, this show, we've run out of things to talk about with everyone. Let's bring in some guests up in their rooms. Like, we're talking about plants, visible plants on zooms. I mean, like, no one has any life experience anymore that we can draw from.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Why don't we hear from some of our friends, new and old, that are joining us today?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, Gillian, always great to see you.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

You can stick around. Everyone should go out there and see Come Play, which is out in theaters this Friday and hope hopefully for many Fridays to come. And maybe a perennial favorite that people can see every week, like the old Rocky Horror Picture show or Spinal Tap. It's really good for any day of the year. And out this Friday, make sure people go out and see it. But let's bring out our next guest. And he's an old. You know, again, I don't know quite how to describe him because I don't know what he does for a living. Although we may have talked about it. I think he's independently wealthy, but I don't know how to describe him other than a divorced person. He's been on the show many times. He's one of our favorites. Please welcome back to the show Alimony Tony Scott.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for having me. It's me, Alimony Tony.

[Scott Aukerman]

It certainly is you, Alimony Tony. Welcome back to the show.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Thank you very much. And yes, I was overhearing your introduction because I had to know when to appear so I can confirm that I am independently wealthy. Of course. My mother invented gaseous paper, and I. Oh, hello.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hello.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

My name is Alimony Tony.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, sorry. Let me introduce you guys. This is Gillian Jacobs. She's an actress and a director and an artist. And this is Alimony Tony, who's a independently wealthy divorced person.

[Gillian Jacobs]

My goodness. My goodness.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wait, I've heard that catchphrase before. Oh, you're Gilea Jacobs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course. I. You know, now that I think. Think about it, Gillian. The last few times that you've been on the show, you haven't been on in a little bit, but we performed your part.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Has it been a while?

[Gillian Jacobs]

It has. It has been a while, Tony, comma, alimony.

[Scott Aukerman]

What a funny little joke.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What a coquettish little laugh that was.

[Scott Aukerman]

But we actually. Romance bloomed on some of your previous episodes. I believe we performed your at least one wedding of yours.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, I have not been married on the show. Oh, you're not speaking to me?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I'm speaking to.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I've been married on the show, I understand. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Who were you married to? You were married to.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's really sad. I was married to a wonderful man named Garry Marshall.

[Scott Aukerman]

Garry Marshall, creator of Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, director of Valentine's Day. Yes, that's right. He used to be on the show.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Star Lost in America.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know about the star.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Beloved American cultural icon Garry Marshall, and.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, that's right. You got married to him on this show.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I did. I really loved him a lot, you know, and a lot of terrible things happened along the way. I think I was sent to another dimension. Maybe he was sent to another dimension.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Another dimension?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I think portals in space and time opened up. People tried to come between us, but we really. We had a love that was more than a love. I and my Garry Marshall.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's a wonderful story.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, he is. Yes.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm a real romantic. Scott. I want to say stuff. I'm a real romantic as well. And to hear that story, although I have divorced several times over, I am a romantic at heart. To hear such a romantic story, Certainly that's right up my alley. Let me tell you.

[Gillian Jacobs]

May I ask. Can I go back, Tony, if I may, please.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Call you Alimony Tony.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, okay. Thank you. Alimony Tony, what was the type of paper your mother invented?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gaseous paper.

[Gillian Jacobs]

What is gaseous?

[Scott Aukerman]

You've heard of liquid paper, right?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, liquid paper. Invented by Mike Desmoth's mother. And gaseous paper is the same as liquid paper, only it's a gas.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Ooh, exciting. So you could write on a fart, perhaps?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, you have to write on gaseous paper.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, wait, I thought liquid paper was applied to regular paper in order to correct mistakes. Gaseous paper, you need to write on the gaseous paper.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You need to write on the gaseous paper.

[Scott Aukerman]

How does it work? Actually, we've never talked about. So if you make a mistake.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's so dry and dull. I don't think anyone wants to hear about the inner workings of gaseous paper.

[Gillian Jacobs]

This is. And what's its primary use? I mean, has it been successful, this invention?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's been very successful. It enabled my family to become trillionaires.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Trillionaires, you say trillionaire with a T?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's right.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Wow. And current net worth, just for a ballpark estimate.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, it's not. It's. It's. I know that sounds like a staggering number, but it's only 2 trillion.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Only 2. And that's your personal or the company?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's my personal. That's your personal. That's the family's money? Yes.

[Gillian Jacobs]

And does the family still own a majority of the company?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, yes, we do. We own 100%.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, you own 100% publicly traded?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes. All the profits go to us. We are very wealthy family. And it really is just down to. I mean, I don't have any kids. All of my relatives, what few there were, have passed on.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Siblings?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No siblings. I grew up an only child. But I'm a generous person.

[Gillian Jacobs]

So did I. So did I.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's fun, isn't it? Because every.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's one of many things I feel we have in common.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

We do. Okay. Well, that's one thing I wasn't aware of. The. The other things.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. What are the other things?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Gilly, we're on this call together.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's true. I mean, when you're right, you're right.

[Gillian Jacobs]

All right, go on.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony. Tony, why is your company publicly traded if you own 100% of it?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, because I'm a member of the public and.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, I just wanted to clarify that. So alimony. Tony, you are a member of the 4 comma club?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, that's correct. That's correct. There's a precious few of us, but again, it's not as much. My total net worth is not as much as it sounds. You hear the word trillion, you think, oh, my God, that's so much money. It's impossible to imagine there's only $2 trillion.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that's mainly because there used to be more. But you've given a lot of it away, isn't that right?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, I mean, I'm always making money, but I'm also always giving money away. Because as I've told you before, S.C. i've been married and divorced many times. And the thing is, I love paying alimony. I always marry for love. I always think it's going to last. So far it hasn't. But there's something about paying the alimony that I just adore it. Really. It's my favorite thing to do.

[Gillian Jacobs]

And can I ask you your feelings on pre and post nuptial agreements?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I've never.

[Scott Aukerman]

Never signed a postnup.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Never signed a prenup. Never signed a postnup Unless my canon contradicts that. But I do believe going in with faith, hope and love, and then coming out of it with just a stone.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Cold financial arrangement, it just a lot less money.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, I mean, a lot. A lot less money for some people. Obviously. For me it's dropping the bucket, but. Yes, it is. It is. The alimony payments are substantial and not Just as a whole, but individually.

[Gillian Jacobs]

And is there a way to stop those?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

There is, unfortunately.

[Scott Aukerman]

I suppose if the. If your ex wife got married again.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Remarried, which has happened on occasion, I have said, look, I'm so glad you're happy you moved on, you found someone else. Please let me continue paying you out of money, please.

[Scott Aukerman]

And they've always been nice about it and said, no, I'm sorry, I will not allow you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, no. They've all said yes. There was. There was only one. One gal that. That wouldn't divorce.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Are you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That I never divorced. That I never got to pay alimony to. I was sorry I get emotional anything about it. I never got to pay alimony to her because she died before we could be divorced. Of course I. That's for me. That's the one that got away.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I'm so sorry.

[Scott Aukerman]

But they don't call you widower, Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, I was just widower the one time. The rest of the time divorced. One time.

[Gillian Jacobs]

What's the fastest you've ever gotten married? Like from date of meeting the person to nuptials?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, same day. Same day.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Same day, same day.

[Scott Aukerman]

So that's a matter of hours.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott. How. What's your. No, I was gonna say not interested.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Easily googleable.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Is there a T in there?

[Scott Aukerman]

In net worth?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, there's two.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No, no, no, no. I meant trillionaire.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I do apologize.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You're so clever though. That's what I like so much about you, how clever you are.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You're clever as well. That's another thing we have in common.

[Scott Aukerman]

You know, guys, I think I can sense there some sort of attraction here. Some sort of physical or chemical attraction here. Between the two of you.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I feel like I've met you, you know, before as well. You feel very familiar to me.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Do you feel like you're in a past life or something?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I don't know. Just your current physical form looks very familiar to me. As though I've met it and loved it over and over again.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's physical form.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

My current physical form.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do you mean Gillion? Do you mean at the age he is at now, or do you mean you think he had a different body at some point?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Look, do we know definitively what we look like when we sleep?

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a good point. I never thought of it that way.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, you know, I had a wife who used to love taking snapshots of me when I would fall asleep in a chair watching television. And so I do know what I look like when I sleep. Unless that was a deep fake.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. How do you know that? How do you know you were asleep?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

How do you know this was the subject of the James L. Brooks movie? And it was all about, how do you know what you look like when you're asleep?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Isn't it? I mean, I've heard some say we all assume a lizard form when we fall asleep.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

So that's why I think more than one person. You've heard say that.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Some have said, who are these?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

This is curious to me, that when we fall asleep, we assume a lizard form.

[Gillian Jacobs]

That's how we conserve energy when we're asleep. Think about how many hours we go without eating or drinking anything. How do we live through sleep?

[Scott Aukerman]

That's a good point. I mean, when I wake up, I usually have breakfast. And then within like three or four hours, I want to eat again. But when I sleep, I'm not munching down. When I'm asleep, I don't even want it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll have a midnight snack, go to the kitchen for a bowl of flies. I'm kidding. Because of Elizabeth.

[Gillian Jacobs]

That's funny.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you like that?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

One laugh has graduated from Kilkennish tube bombastic. Let me ask this Gillion. When you say we revert to a lizard form, are you saying we turn into little lizards when we're sleeping? Or our bodies are reacting in a lizard like way?

[Scott Aukerman]

Are we humanoid, but we just have scales?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Are we human or are we dancer?

[Gillian Jacobs]

We are dancer of lizard skin when we sleep, I've heard some say.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hmm. So sort of like the antagonist in.

[Gillian Jacobs]

The movie V. I've never seen that.

[Scott Aukerman]

You didn't let me finish. For vendetta.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I have seen that. They're lizard people.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Underneath that mask. That's why he wears it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, he has to sleep sometime.

[Scott Aukerman]

They don't show in movies. They don't show people sleeping all that much unless they're having a dream or they're woken up by an alarm clock.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wasn't that an Andy Warhol movie? Didn't he just, like, film somebody sleeping for a while?

[Scott Aukerman]

Probably. I don't know.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What was that guy all about?

[Scott Aukerman]

What was the deal with that guy?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I don't know. Sometimes I think he did things just to bother people.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Hey, hey, hey. Pittsburgh native. Andy Warhol.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I'm so sorry. The museum is there?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're from Pittsburgh, is that right, Gillian?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

And where are you from? The Keystone State, of course. Where are you from? Alimony. Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm from the Mid Atlantic region.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Okay, so I learned that accent at Juilliard.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Of course you did. That's what they used to call it. The Juilliard accent.

[Scott Aukerman]

The American standard. What was her name? Edith something.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, yeah. Skinner. Edith Skinner.

[Scott Aukerman]

Skinner. That's right. Edith Skinner.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Member of the Skinner family.

[Scott Aukerman]

So, alimony, Tony. I mean, president. Yes. Last time we spoke, I can't recall whether you were married again or whether you were recently divorced.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

If I don't be. The last time we spoke, I was freshly divorced.

[Scott Aukerman]

And what is your status now? If you could toggle your relationship status.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

On a website, what would you say the last time we spoke was?

[Scott Aukerman]

Who knows?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

All right, I'm going to say, since the last time we spoke, I gather I've been married or divorced. Twice more.

[Scott Aukerman]

Twice more?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Do you use the same divorce attorney every time?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Every single time he's been with.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who's this guy?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

His name is Mitch Mulvihill.

[Scott Aukerman]

Mitch Mulvihil.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

He is a crackerjack divorce attorney in that he listens to me. I say, look, I want to pay the max amount of alimony possible by law. And he says he always has to be. Tony, Tony, Tony, this is too much. You're giving away.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you had no loot. Tony, Tony, Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What?

[Scott Aukerman]

If you had no loot, Tony, Tony, Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What does that mean?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I don't want that one.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, there's a band. Tony, Tony, Tony. Who sings a song? If I had no loot.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh. Oh. I think you're talking about Tony, Tony, Tony.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's right. I was not pronouncing the exclamation marks after each of their names.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's right. That's why I wasn't sure what bad you were talking about.

[Scott Aukerman]

I apologize. Sorry.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Tony, of course, most famous Tony. Probably from west side Story. Would you say. Who's the most famous Tony? Ooh.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Randall.

[Scott Aukerman]

Randall.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Tony Bennett. Well, he was an Anthony. He was an Anthony. Tony. Friends, perhaps, but that's true. Professionally, an Anthony.

[Scott Aukerman]

Who's the guy from Some Like It Hot?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Tony Curtis. Not his real name. His real name.

[Scott Aukerman]

What was his real name?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

His real name was Bernard Schwartz.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is Tony your real name?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes. It is? Well, yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Why so cagey suddenly?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, I mean, Tony is. Absolutely. Of course it is.

[Scott Aukerman]

What a strange response. I mean, suddenly you got very protective of your answer. Retreat.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You know me as Alamo Tony, and that is my name.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Tony, I have a question for you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, Gilliam.

[Gillian Jacobs]

What is your lizard name?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Good question. Let me think back. I haven't been asked this in such a long time. I think it's Zax.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Zax is such a good lizard name.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Xax.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right. Yes, of course.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Mine's.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, that's. I like that name. It's Shomi. Can I hear that again? That's what a lizard would call itself if it had the power to name itself. Scott, what's your lizard name?

[Scott Aukerman]

I didn't know that I was a lizard. But do we get to choose our own lizard names or are we assigned them?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I think you know the answer.

[Scott Aukerman]

I do.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

My name is.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's in your heart.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Look at your heart.

[Scott Aukerman]

Look at your heart. What movie is that from?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Please, I'm begging you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Look at that. Oh, Miller's Crossing, of course.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What's that?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, yes, I just watched that film recently for the first time. Turturro performance.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Very good film.

[Scott Aukerman]

One of the best.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Turtles, Tatur, Marcia Gay Harden, Albert Finnean, of course.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Byrd, Byrne, comma, Gabriel.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gillian. You do this. It's a very curious thing where you like to give people's names. You give the first, the last name first and then you give the comma, then the first name. What is that all about?

[Gillian Jacobs]

What I like about you, Tony Alimony, is how observant you are. I really appreciate that in a partner, a romantic partner. Someone who's really dialed into me, my little fun idiosynchronatic. Thank you. There you go. Aukerman. Scott.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, I hope that you find someone who appreciates all these wonderful things about you that are very charming indeed.

[Scott Aukerman]

You wish her the best, right? Alimony, Tommy. Gillian's been a widow for a few years. I believe you were married to Alan Thicke as well. So a two time widow. I believe so.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What it's like. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

So you wish her the best, right?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I wish you the best. I wish you the best.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You know, I hope the best way to wish someone.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, go ahead.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I was gonna say, could you just send me a little check?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What do you mean?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Well, I have a proposition for you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

All right.

[Scott Aukerman]

We don't get a lot of propositions on this show.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I can't wait to vote on this prop.

[Gillian Jacobs]

This is prop my heart. Care to get married or skip the marriage and just. You could start sending me checks.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Hold on a second. I've only been proposed to a handful of times. All the times I've been married.

[Scott Aukerman]

A lizard hand or a normal human hand?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, I have my lizard. I mean, that's up to Tony. Alimony. What are you into, lizards or humans?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I mean, I'm a human and I like being one. And I certainly. If all the all the marriages I've had have been to human women. Because we're both humans, the parts just fit.

[Scott Aukerman]

When you're a human, the parts just.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I want to clarify that my lizard form is not tiny. I'm the same size. I'm just a lizard.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I see. Is that the same for all of us, would you say?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I haven't seen you asleep, but I haven't talked to you tonight.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Very.

[Scott Aukerman]

Goodness.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I love how forward that is. I wish. I wish I were attracted to you, but I just. Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, it's just one of those things. Huh.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gillian, he has a. There's something. You are checking a lot of boxes for me. Let me tell you something. And usually by this time, I'd be asking you to get married, and we'd be talking about, if we ever got divorced, how much money you would want, an alimony. And then I would write it up or on a piece of paper, and I would slide it over to you, and I would say, I'm making this offer of alimony. But yes. I don't know. I just. I'm getting more of a friend vibe. I don't know.

[Scott Aukerman]

What is it? Is her personality. Is it her looks?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No. Great personality. I think she's a dollar. I don't know. It's just that. That indefinable thing, it's not. It's not clicking for me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, she is very friendly.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Very often does.

[Scott Aukerman]

She's very. She's very friendly. And one can get a friend vibe from.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, every. Every woman I've married has been my best friend.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Well, here's. I'll counterpoint you. You've met every woman you've married, you thought you were in love with, and it's always ended in divorce.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Now, I was in love with them. It just didn't work.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes. So why don't you try marrying someone you're not in love with and maybe it'll last longer.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

This is an interesting theory.

[Scott Aukerman]

You could also take a picture. It would last longer.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's true. I am having trouble wrapping my mind around the idea of if I was in love with someone and it didn't work out, if I married someone I wasn't in love with at all, would it last longer?

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's what I anticipate the issue would be.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Go ahead, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

You would marry someone not for love, and then if it didn't work out, you wouldn't be so inclined to pay the alimony. I would think there would be a bitter, contentious divorce.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's the first time I'd have a bitter, contentious divorce, which is an experience I've never had, but does sound exciting. It is on my bucket list to have a contentious divorce.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I can provide you with that experience 100%.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, alimony. Tony, don't answer now because we have to take.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm going to give my answer now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Please don't. I really would rather we did it on the other side of this break, but we do have to go to a commercial when we. When we don't. No, please don't answer now. No. Nope. Nope. I'm really going to have to insist that we wait until after the break. We're going to take a break, but when we come back, we'll have more from Gillian Jacobs. Nope. Nope. Unfortunately, going to have to cut you off right now, but we're going to a break. We'll have more. More from Gillian Jacobs, more from Alamony. Tony. We'll be right back after Alamodi.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gonna need a spelling on that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Well, I didn't. I just. You guys said it so many times. How do you actually spell the title?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I always assumed it was with C, O, M, E. Got it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

But you've not seen the title. Like you got a script with no title page.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I said take that title page off.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's like a Christopher Walken move.

[Scott Aukerman]

Too many spoilers.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I don't like to know the title because it controls my performance.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Is that a Christopher Walken movie?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, he takes that all punctuation.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, periods, commas, anything. He doesn't want them to hold semicolons. Oh, every piece of punctuation.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah. I always find when the lines make sense, the performance is worse.

[Scott Aukerman]

Exactly. But of course. Come Play is out this Friday in theaters. And we have Alamodi Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, it's not. I. Look, I love pie and ice cream, but I'm not Alamodi Tony. I'm Alamodi Tony.

[Scott Aukerman]

What about pie and cheese? Apple pie and cheese.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Don't get it. I don't get that. I've never tried it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Apple cheddar.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Never tried it. Can't bring myself to try it because it doesn't seem like it would work.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is it cold? They used to say apple pie without the cheese is like a hug without the squeeze.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh.

[Scott Aukerman]

But in these pandemic days, do you really want to be squeezing and hugging people anyway?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Not at all. People that said this.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Has anyone ever hugged you so tight? A little fart came out.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Not yet.

[Scott Aukerman]

I assume that was for alimony, Tony. Not for myself.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Although I bet you didn't have an answer.

[Scott Aukerman]

I plead the fifth, unfortunately.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Is that what it sounded like?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes. That sounds My fart's always sound like me pleading the fifth.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Plead the fifth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony. Tony, before the break, you are about to give your answer to Gillion's question. Gillian proposed.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I have forgotten the question of the meantime.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, she proposed to you. She said, will you marry me tonight?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's correct. That's correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

And if not, will you just give me alimony? Which is not how it works. Is that right? You can't give alimony without being married.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, you must get. Otherwise it's just a. You know, it's a handout. It's a monetary gift.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you want Gilly to pull her up by her own bootstraps.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, until. Well, if we are married, that would then of course be sure.

[Scott Aukerman]

Then everything changes. But you're not just gonna give away money. This is your hard earned money.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I don't give away money. I'm not in the Business of giving away money. I'm in the business of being independently wealthy. And of course, my sock parody, which I just.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, that's right. You are a. Well, Alimony Tony is a song parodist called Weirdimony. Alimony Tony.

[Gillian Jacobs]

That's right.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I did momentarily forget that was a major component of my personality.

[Scott Aukerman]

We talked about that a lot the last time. I think we'll just skip over it this time.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yeah, I think usually it's the thing you want to talk about the most, and I think I was thrown. Usually you introduce it and so I'll just go from there. But for whatever reason, you forgot.

[Scott Aukerman]

No, I'm not into it anymore. I checked out a couple. They're not my bag.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's easier for me. That explains those two YouTube views that.

[Scott Aukerman]

I saw that I usually. You have one which is you checking to make sure the video is uploaded properly.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's correct. That's correct.

[Scott Aukerman]

It always is. Yeah. You've never missed a video, have you?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Have you ever done the song we're in the Money, but you're in the money because you give money to your ex wife.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's leave the ideas to Weirdimony Alimony. Typically, I think, you know, the thing.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

About the video is, of course, I have unlimited funds, so I spent a lot of money on the videos. I mean, they. I think they look terrific.

[Scott Aukerman]

And yet really, they're not just lyric videos.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, they're not just lyric videos. You don't even watch the whole thing. You.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sorry, I scrubbed through.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It starts with the lyric. Here's what it is. It's the lyrics by themselves, so you can memorize them. And then when the video of me acting out the song parody comes on, you can sing along. Cause periodically in the videos, I lean into the camera, put my hand up next to my ear as if to say, I can't hear you.

[Scott Aukerman]

You point the mic at the camera lens as if you were Freddie Mercury at Live Aid. Pointing that mic stand at the.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, I take the whole top of the mic stand going. People out there. People on streets.

[Scott Aukerman]

People on the streets. Of course. Well, Alimony Tony, we want to get to your answer, but I'm wondering, should we hold onto it for a little while? I mean, it's.

[Gillian Jacobs]

So let's. I need some more time with him.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Maybe love will blossom over the next bit of the show.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Maybe you'll hold your tongue, sir.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's curious because it seemed like the idea we were heading towards was me not being in love and marrying to see if that changes anything.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

But now you're saying, Scott, perhaps let's hold on and see if I do.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, let's hold on to the end and. Can I talk to Gillion for a second? Do you mind just turning around and walking into the corner?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Not at all.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gilly, I'm just gonna Blair Witch it over here. Your.

[Scott Aukerman]

Your usual moves, okay? You've done quite a few episodes of this show, and I've seen you kind of try to lure a rich man in several. Several times. Your usual moves are not working. That's safe to say. You're laughing at. You're laughing at his jokes. You're. You're trying to find things in common with him. It's just not. It's not playing.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Should I start a fight? What do I do?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I think more drama or try to neg him or something like that. You know, play the. Play the game. Do a mystery kind of thing. Okay.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Feel free to give me any hints along the way, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

No problem. That's what I'm here for. That's what I'm here.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Thank you. I appreciate it. Bring it back. Bring it back.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony Tony. Alimony Tony. Come on back.

[Gillian Jacobs]

How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

How dare who?

[Gillian Jacobs]

You.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Me?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I know what you are thinking, Gillian.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What are you talking about?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Dare you?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What are these bitter recriminations?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I'm very upset by the things I think you've been thinking, sir.

[Scott Aukerman]

This is, like, serious.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

This is like somebody when they have a dream about you and you did something wrong, and then they're still mad at you.

[Scott Aukerman]

In real life, that's usually your significant other.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I don't want to speak to him any further, so continue on.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Scott, wait.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. You guys are in a fight.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Scott, hold on a second.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm sorry. I got to be the mediator between the two of you now, Gillion, what is this? No, don't talk to her. Talk to me.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Scott. You tell her that I said, what's going on. I don't want to be. I don't want to be having done something wrong here. What have I done? How can I make it right?

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, Gillion. Alimony Tony says, what have I? And then I kind of tuned out and didn't hear a lot of it, but, yeah. Anyway, he's upset about something.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Well, I'm.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Can I say, Scott, that was a terrible job?

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, look, I didn't ask to be the mediator.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I was really. But you did.

[Scott Aukerman]

You insisted.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You made yourself the mediator. Then you.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's what I'M saying I insisted upon it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, you've got me there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Anyway, what do you want to say back to Alimony Tony? Gillian. I certainly am, by the way. Loophole Larry. He'll be on the show in a few weeks, from what I hear.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Refuse to explain why I'm upset, but say that I cried a little bit and it's all his fault.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony Tony. Gillian doesn't want to talk to you, but she was crying, and she did happen to say it was all your fault.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

All right, so that one you nailed.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know. Something about her voice and just the content of every sentence she speaks is just so captivating that I can't help but be wrapped with attention.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Sexist. I hate when people are like, it's always better. Like, oh, women. Their voices are so captivating.

[Scott Aukerman]

Never complaining about women's voices on podcasts.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I can't vote for Hillary Clinton. She's too captivating. She was so captivating in that depth. Me. Scott, please, please, please tell Gillian I want to know how I can make things right. I apologize for whatever it is I've done. I want to learn. I want to grow as a person, and I don't. I certainly don't want to hurt her feelings.

[Scott Aukerman]

Gillian. Alimony. Tony said something about growing up, and he's getting taller is what I'm trying, I guess.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

All right, all right. I'm firing you as the mediator.

[Scott Aukerman]

What?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes. You're terrible.

[Scott Aukerman]

Do I get alimony?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, you don't get alimony. What mediator?

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Who gets alimony from being fired? Maybe you get severance pay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, could you be severance, Tony? Because I'd like some.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No. You hired yourself, and I'm firing you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, then I should be able to fire myself.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You're fired. You're fired. Remember when that was fun? All right, Gillion, it's me. Alimony Tony, please. What have I done wrong? How can I make this up to you? I want to know. And I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I don't remember what you did, but it was not nice. And I'm gonna have to think about how you can make it up to me. But I will accept any ideas you have of things you could do to make this situation better.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Starbucks gift card.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I don't know what you're doing. Gift card.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No.

[Scott Aukerman]

Getting. Getting warmer, though.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Itunes. Gift card.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm trying to remember what else I've seen on that spinning rack at the supermarket.

[Scott Aukerman]

Look, something that's maybe not an impulse buy at local Ralphs, you know.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

All right, but tell you what.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony, Tony, why don't you think about it here? You guys are obviously in a fight. You guys are.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I guess we are.

[Gillian Jacobs]

A terrible fight.

[Scott Aukerman]

Terrible fight.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, it's getting worse.

[Scott Aukerman]

Think about. Think about alimony, Tony. What you can do to patch things up. Because we. We do need to get to our next guest and please, maybe, maybe, you know, you guys could patch this up by the end of the show. Who knows? Who knows?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Try to figure out who else has.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Gift cards holding out hope.

[Scott Aukerman]

But we do have to get to our next guest. He is. I mentioned it before. He's an entrepreneur. And it's a RA Tweet. A rare tweet. And a rare treat when we have an entrepreneur on the show. He is. Well, he has a company that bears his name on it. Please welcome for the first time in the show, Orville Redenbacher.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Thank you for having me, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, it's money around here. I smell it. Alamoto, Gilead. Jacob.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Scott Alkerman. It's money around here.

[Scott Aukerman]

What a child.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Laugh. I love that laugh.

[Scott Aukerman]

So charming. Orville Redenbacher, it's such a treat to have you on the show. I mean, you are, of course, the owner and proprietor of Orville Redenbacher Popcorn.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Absolutely, Scott. And I tell you, boy, since this pandemic been happening, Scott, we've been going through the roof.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Meaning sales or you've been going through your own roof trying to clear out your attic. Or I mean, a lot of people, a lot of downtime during the pandemic.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Both things, Scott. You see, my house is full of asbestos.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's one thing.

[Orville Redenbacher]

So we have to clear out the attic, but also, popcorn cells are through the roof. I'm swimming in it, boy. Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Congratulations. I mean, yeah, I guess there's nothing else to do other than just, you know, lie around watching Netflix.

[Orville Redenbacher]

And everybody's sitting at home, Scott. Watching Netflix. Watching Hulu, watching Vivo, the music video.

[Scott Aukerman]

To be watching to me, watching.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Checking out quibbies, watching YouTube TV.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Everything, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're really into streaming platforms, aren't you?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Everybody at home watching Peacock. Everybody at home watching cbs. All accent. Yes, of course. And you know what they love when they watch a cbs? All like this guy.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I know. Star Trek. Disco. Very Star Trek.

[Orville Redenbacher]

And popcorn.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah.

[Scott Aukerman]

Orville. Or should I call you Mr. Redenbacher?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You call me Oville, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oville. Mr. Redenbacher, your. Your pictures on all of the jars of your Popcorn and the bags of your popcorn. You are. I mean, I'm not telling a secret when I say you're an elderly octogenari from the South. Is that right?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Don't tell them that. They may not know.

[Scott Aukerman]

Don't you tell them. But you are.

[Orville Redenbacher]

How old are you right now? I'm 113 years old, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

And how. How old did you used to be?

[Orville Redenbacher]

How old I used to be? I used to be 112, 111.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Orville Redenbacher]

110, 109.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure.

[Orville Redenbacher]

All the way down, 107.

[Scott Aukerman]

Did you ever skip?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Never skipped a year, Scott. I hit every year. Year.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, congratulations.

[Orville Redenbacher]

You get every year in the book, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, A lot of people wish that we could have skipped this year, but, I mean, this year has been. While the rich get richer during the pandemic. I mean, you, you, you. You are a wealthy popcorn magnet.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Absolutely. I'm a wealthy popcorn magnate. And we making money during the pandemic because everybody's sitting at home watching. Watching cable Spectrum.

[Scott Aukerman]

They all at home watching Direct TV.

[Orville Redenbacher]

They're all at home watching Direct TV. They all at home watching Verizon fiber optics AT&T. Fiber optics. Oh, Scott. And they all eating popcorn.

[Scott Aukerman]

Alimony.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Tony. Gillian Jacobs.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah, my pleasure.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Y'all like popcorn?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Of course I do, but sometimes it makes my stomach hurt.

[Orville Redenbacher]

It makes your stomach hurt?

[Scott Aukerman]

Why is that? Is it because. Is it expanding upon reaching the liquid that's in your stomach, or is it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Or is it contracting? Is your stomach contracting?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

And closing in on the popcorn in there?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Hmm. I'm not. You know, I was studying popcorn science at university, but I dropped out, so I never got to find the answer to this question.

[Scott Aukerman]

But perhaps that's too bad. I mean, you could have had a popcorn scientist here. Orville Redenbacher.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I mean, I know I would have gave you a job right now. Gilead Jacobs. I would have. Attention, Attention, all Orville Redenbacher workers. We got a brand new worker and her name is Gilead Jacobs. And she on tv. You can see her own Hulu.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, wait. So this is. This is a separate universe where she not only completes and matriculates her popcorn education, but then also goes on to become the famous actress she is now.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Absolutely. And you can see it on Netflix.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes.

[Orville Redenbacher]

You can see on Amazon prime soon. Yes, all of that stuff. You can watch a movie. Play with the c.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wait, Watch the movie. What.

[Orville Redenbacher]

What the movie called? Gilly J. What the movie called?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You have the title, correct?

[Orville Redenbacher]

I think what the movie called. Gill Jacob.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott says it best Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

It'S not Play with the Come, it's Come Play.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, come Play. My apologies.

[Scott Aukerman]

Two totally different movies. If you've been watching that one, you've been watching the wrong movie. But maybe the right movie for you.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I ain't got no time for movies right now, Scott. Cause I'm rolling in it, baby.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, because you're spending money or making popcorn or both?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Both.

[Scott Aukerman]

What's life been like, such an incredible year for you? What's it been like for you? What have you spent your money?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I also have a question for Orville Rudenbacher.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is this a subset of my question or.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

No, this is a separate question. Can I ask this first and get it out of the way?

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, go ahead.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Orville, I'm not sure. Do you sell any ready made bags of your popcorn or is it all in the jar or the microwavable pouch?

[Orville Redenbacher]

It's all in the jar in the microwavable pouch. You got to make it at your house and it takes about 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the microwave. And during that time, might I recommend you look at a video on YouTube? Look at a short music video on Vevo.

[Scott Aukerman]

But you could stream that to your TV as well, right?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You can cast it if you got Apple tv.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Chromecast. Does that do anything for you?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You can use Chromecast, but it's an inferior product to the Apple tv.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I have a suggestion. Perhaps you could hire Alimony Tony to make some fun musical parody videos about the proper way to pop popcorn.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, that sounds nice. Wait, that's a good idea. Gillian Jacobs.

[Scott Aukerman]

Here's another idea as well. I just want to build on what Gillian said. There's no bad ideas. But I'm going to take it in a different direction. What if you hired Alimony Tony to make gaseous popcorn?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Ooh.

[Scott Aukerman]

Essentially like popcorn in a vial.

[Orville Redenbacher]

What's that? Popcorn you can.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I know, I know. It's serious. Now, here's the thing. I'm not a scientist. I didn't invent the gaseous paper. My mother did. I have no idea how it works, how it's still with us. No, my mother's passed on. As I said. I said my entire family is dead.

[Orville Redenbacher]

What happened to her?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

She died of old age.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I can't relate.

[Scott Aukerman]

How old? How old was her old age?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

110.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, that's. That's old.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I remember them days. Well, I was in the streets, hot stepping, stomping with the big dogs when I was 110.

[Scott Aukerman]

You were out in these streets at 110?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, yes. Scott, I was in these streets spending that popcorn money, buying fancy cars alimony.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Tony, you need to sell yourself better. Maybe you could do some sample lyrics.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I would be happy to. If you name a song that you think would be related to the popcorn that the. The name of song. And I'll try to do a parody related to the popcorn industry.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I was going to say the other way.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You don't have to. You don't have to because we sorted it all out. So.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Okay, how about Uptown Girl by Billy Joe?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, this is. This is perfect.

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, uptown has the exact same amount of syllables as pop.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I know, I know. Scotty, you're going to get ahead of me by process. All right, let's see. Uptown Girls. You belittle half a chance. Okay, so if I say uptown popcorn goes in there nicely. Popcorn. Is it Popcorn girl or do I change that? Maybe I change it to Popcorn World because that's a double parody where it's. It's same syllables and the. The word to the wardrobe about chord World you've been living. Okay, that's part of the original song. I don't want to use that. I want to just throw that out at my old ones. The popcorn world wouldn't.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I'm excited about popcorn Kerr. Like popcorn kernel.

[Scott Aukerman]

Like shortening colonel To Kerr Popcorn.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Gillian, I might have to see you.

[Scott Aukerman]

In my office at the. For a reprimand or for. For a bonus. I can't quite tell where you land on that.

[Orville Redenbacher]

A reprimand, a demerit and a bonus. Cause we rolling in it, Scott. We making money.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I do like. I think that's very charming idea of God. Colonel curse. Hey, pass me that jar occurs. I gotta make some popcorn. So I would. I would go. Okay, here we go. Popcorn World. When you got a snack and it's. Hold on a second.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I might get a little bit there.

[Scott Aukerman]

One thing I should say is alimony. Tony. I've watched a couple of his videos. This is how they all start spitballing the idea and then getting frustrated. One and a half lines in like.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

To see the process. But that when you see the finished parody.

[Scott Aukerman]

These are the professionally recorded versions.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Absolutely. So that by the time. Don't you think it's more satisfied? Well, you would know because you scrubbed through. But if you. When you see the finished video like.

[Scott Aukerman]

You overcoming adversity to have come along.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

The entire process with me, I think it makes the finished video all the more satisfying. Which I guess people I wish there's no views. So I guess I'm in the. I don't.

[Scott Aukerman]

People might love it, they might not. They just haven't seen it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Popcorn World. It's the snack for on the couch. You curl, you're watching Netflix and give a. Okay, I'm almost there. But you see the beginnings of it. So it's just a matter of me working it out and getting there. And then I present you with the finished product.

[Scott Aukerman]

Right now this idea is like a popcorn cur. It's, you know, small, but eventually more of an idea. Yeah, eventually it could blow up into a full, you know, bit of popcorn here and fully realized. What do you think, Orville?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Well, Gillian Jacob said that popcorn make a stomach hurt. And that's what I just figured out. You only eating the cursing your stomach. You got to let them cook first. Gilead Jacobs. You gotta let em pop on the outside.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

An issue for your teeth.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes, silly, silly me. I just unscrew the jar and eat the curs raw.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that mainly what you were thinking of Orville, during alimony? Tony's son song?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, I was. I was thinking about how I can't wait to watch this video on YouTube, on Daily Motion, on Indigo.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Go.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Then I indie go, go Vimeo, Vimeo and Indiegogo when I can send some money to his.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Cause let me tell you something I do like. When you go to the movies, you get a bag of popcorn. You get down to the bottom where there's a couple of old maids in there, there's a couple. A couple of half pops. And you know that there's kernels in there and you know you shouldn't be chewing on them, but you do it anyway. You're rolling the dice and saying, because.

[Orville Redenbacher]

You got to, baby, you got to.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm gonna get through this and it's gonna be satisfying. And usually it is. Every once in a while you have to go get emergency dental surgery. But most of the time it is very satisfying to crunch all those curves.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Some people like to eat popcorn while they're watching all kind of movies. Such as, like Carrie.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, you're just listing movies, not kinds of movies.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Carrie carried two Carrot, two Electric Boogaloo. That's when Carrie was doing telekinetic break dancing. That's a good one right there.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

She'll rotate the car. The cardboard with a mind.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that the entirety of the list?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Back to the Future 3.

[Scott Aukerman]

It was almost as if you remembered you laughed like that suddenly.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Scott, listen, in Orville's defense, you've never had a facet of your personality that you've forgotten about. Because you haven't used it for months.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You forgot you did song parodies?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I forgot I did song parodies.

[Scott Aukerman]

It seems like that's all you would be doing during the pandemic.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's a thing that's very important to me. I talked about it a great deal, and yet I just haven't spoken to anyone else in such a while. I forgot about it.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, well, look, we need to take a break before. You know, I was just thinking, Orville Redenbacher, before we go to the break. You are an elderly rich man who may perish soon. I just wanted to point that out. It was an interesting fact that just popped in my head.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Sort of like who to talk about somebody's mortality.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sorry.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It just like, what would Orville's wife think if you. If you. If he.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Are you married to that?

[Orville Redenbacher]

My wife died 71 years ago.

[Scott Aukerman]

71.

[Gillian Jacobs]

My word.

[Scott Aukerman]

Never remarried. And why is that? Well, we can talk about it after the break.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Let's talk about it right now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Nope. Want to talk about it after the break. We need to come right back. We're gonna have more with Gillian Jacobs, more with Alimony Tony, more with Orville Redenbach. We'll be right back with a comedy bang bang after this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Comedy Bang Bang. We're back with Gillian Jacobs. Do you want to say your catchphrase? By the way, I don't think we caught it on the last. On the last segment.

[Gillian Jacobs]

My goodness. My goodness.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ah, yes. That's how you know it's her.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It's perfect.

[Scott Aukerman]

We also have alimony. Tony, who is wrestling with. With how he insulted Gillion and what he's gonna do to make it up to her.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I wish I knew. I just. All I wanna do is make it up to her.

[Scott Aukerman]

And we also have Orville Redenbacher, who is an elderly rich man who is the head of the Redenbacher empire. Are you a member of the 4 comma club or the 3 comma club? What is your net worth?

[Orville Redenbacher]

That's rude to ask, Scott, but I tell you, I'm a member of the 5 comma club.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What? Wow.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that quadrillions? How do we even. What do we call Those?

[Orville Redenbacher]

I got $2 trillion all in gold bars.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay. Because they're gold bars, they're worth more. So it takes you up to another comma.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, absolutely.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, okay. Got it. Well, in any case, just wanted to point out that you are, of course, a very rich person who is on his last legs. Are you sick at all or.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Scott, I feel like I felt 83 years ago, goat. I feel alive. I feel alive. I feel great. Can't nothing happen to me, Scott. Nothing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, great. And you. And you think you. Do you think you're immortal or do you think you just.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Can any man be your equal?

[Orville Redenbacher]

No man can be my equal except Jesus Christ.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, boy. We're getting into some religious territory that we don't normally get into on this show.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Let's talk about it, Scott, a statement.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You don't hear people make often. No man can be my equal except Jesus Christ.

[Scott Aukerman]

And then only an equal. Equal.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Not better. Not better. Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

He also laughs like that.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It was over one bugger laugh if.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I was a rich man.

[Scott Aukerman]

Now you're walking on his side of the street. Careful, he's coming for you. Alimony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Weirdville. Weirdenbacher.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, Orville, I asked you before, but are you sick? Are you had any health scares or anything concerning any dark Spots on any.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

X rays, moles with irregular borders.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I am the pitcher.

[Scott Aukerman]

Health.

[Orville Redenbacher]

All my moles got normal borders and they closed.

[Scott Aukerman]

Build that wall. Am I right?

[Gillian Jacobs]

May I ask your opinion as a wealthy businessman? How would you go about seducing a wealthy businessman?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. If one were to seduce you. Orville, I know you haven't been married in 70 some odd years and maybe that's for a reason. Maybe no one has seduced you properly. What would you want want to have happen? From a partner?

[Orville Redenbacher]

That's a great question.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

From a partner?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Yeah, that's a great question. All right, let me, let me think about it. Okay?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wrinkle to this voice that seems like a loophole. This is a great question.

[Orville Redenbacher]

That's a great question. I feel like I want a woman to come up to me and say, ain't you that popcorn man from the popcorn bottles? And I said, yeah, popcorn bottles. And she just grabbed my nuts. Start swinging me around.

[Scott Aukerman]

Start swinging you around?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Yeah. I'm not the biggest man.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, how very slender.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm not getting a sense of how tall you are though on this zoom. What are you, 3ft tall or something? Or I'm 3 foot 6.

[Orville Redenbacher]

36 if you're an inch.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't get a sense of that on your bottles. You know, it's just a headshot.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I didn't realize the bottles were life size.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody to see my body.

[Scott Aukerman]

You're ashamed of it, but you want someone who's into your height who's going to pick you up by the testicles and swing you around.

[Orville Redenbacher]

That's right, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

And is that what your. Your dear departed wife did when she.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Met you every morning?

[Scott Aukerman]

Every morning?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Every morning before she had a coffee and a popcorn cereal.

[Scott Aukerman]

She had popcorn cereal.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Popcorn is very cereal. Like if you think about it. Truly, I can understand how it would look. It would look normal if you poured milk on it, you know?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You know why people put kicks on Christmas trees? They supposed to put popcorn. They started putting kicks. That was a direct attack on me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I mean, I can only assume December is your biggest month, what with everyone stringing popcorn all over their Christmas trees. And then suddenly the Kicks Corporation takes over. That must have. You must have taken quite a hit in the 1990s.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

When my wife wakes up, she grabs my nuts and swings me all around the room. How about that?

[Scott Aukerman]

I mean, you got all the way.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Through for the first try. That's the farthest I've got gotten.

[Scott Aukerman]

So I can imagine that There hasn't been another woman to do that because it's an odd thing to do upon your first meeting of someone. But were that to occur, what would you do? Would you just marry that person right away? Okay.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Spelled O C K E, R. That's right.

[Scott Aukerman]

Thank you.

[Orville Redenbacher]

If that were to happen again, if somebody randomly walked up to me, said, hey, ain't you the popcorn man? And then that's an important part of.

[Scott Aukerman]

It, by the way, saying, ain't you the popcorn man?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You got to say that.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Ain't you the man for the popcorn bottle?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Ain't you the man for the popcorn bottle? And then she grabs my nuts and swings me around. She could have my whole fortune.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

[Orville Redenbacher]

All five commas.

[Scott Aukerman]

Five commas. Wow.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Now, how will that happen in this time of distancing? How are you supposed to meet someone who's gonna grab your nuts and swing around?

[Orville Redenbacher]

You gotta go to Florida somewhere where they're not taking it seriously.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Right. Makes sense.

[Orville Redenbacher]

So, Georgia.

[Scott Aukerman]

And if a woman were not to do that? No sale.

[Orville Redenbacher]

No sale. No dice. No card.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, an interesting conundrum here for our main guest, Gillian Jacobs. Of.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, what are the rankings of. What are the guest rankings? Okay, so Gillian's the main guest.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Where do I fall by the vice guest?

[Scott Aukerman]

You're vice president. Yes, of course. And we have treasurer. Guest over here is Orville Redenbacher.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, that's me. I thought I was guestiteri of education.

[Scott Aukerman]

Gillian likes it. You know, can I talk to Gillian for a second without you guys listening?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Sure. When you come back, I do want to. I think it's important that we designate a designated survivor in case something happens to one of us.

[Scott Aukerman]

Gillian.

[Gillian Jacobs]

What? What?

[Scott Aukerman]

You got two guys on the hook here.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I know, but how am I supposed to grab his body part and swing him around? We're on zoom. I mean, he said that's the only way to his heart. I. I don't know what I can do here.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, you're a little.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I'm sorry. I know I'm not supposed to.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wait.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What are you doing here?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I'm more mad at you now.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I want to. I want to help. I want to help. Do you remember the early days of Facebook? You could poke people. Maybe there's a virtual. There's a virtual grab and swing you could do if you. If just look at the zoom.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe in the chat or something like that. Maybe you could describe you doing it, and that's virtually. You go back over there with all thank you, alimony. Tony, she's still mad at you, by the way.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yeah.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'm sorry to butt in over here.

[Scott Aukerman]

Horrible. You're listening too.

[Orville Redenbacher]

But I just wanted to know if. Would any of you. I like a couple kernels of popcorn.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes, please.

[Scott Aukerman]

Can you leave them in the chat for us?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Absolutely.

[Scott Aukerman]

And that's just exactly like the real thing, right? If someone were to do something in a chat, it's exactly like doing it in real life.

[Orville Redenbacher]

You could print it out, ball it up and eat it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Don't forget salt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Thank you. Scott.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott. All I see is invite mute me and raise hand. Maybe I should just hit all three at once.

[Scott Aukerman]

All three at once might do it. Yeah.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

You wanna do it? Okay, here we go. Ready and. Yes. Here we go.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, my nuts.

[Scott Aukerman]

You forgot the first half. Gillian, make sure you say it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You're the man for the popcorn.

[Scott Aukerman]

And let him go. Yeah, hit em all.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Face bar.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's the end of that lamp.

[Orville Redenbacher]

You forgot the first bar.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I know.

[Scott Aukerman]

She said it. She said it.

[Orville Redenbacher]

What was it?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I didn't say it in the.

[Scott Aukerman]

You don't even know why, do you? I remember.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, no. It's a spell. If you don't say the words properly, something terrible happens.

[Scott Aukerman]

She. I mean, she paraphrased a little bit, but she essentially said, hey, ain't you the popcorn man?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, this supposed to be Ain't you the man from the popcorn bottle?

[Scott Aukerman]

You've changed it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You ruined my chances.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ah, I'm sorry.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Oh, oh, oh. Oh. My legs are turning to dust.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh no.

[Orville Redenbacher]

My arms are turning to dust.

[Gillian Jacobs]

You killed him, Scott.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you killed him, you're the one who grabbed him by the nuts.

[Gillian Jacobs]

No, you're the one who said the incantation improperly.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'll remember you. All of you.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, nice thing to say.

[Orville Redenbacher]

It stopped at my head.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, okay.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

He's just a head.

[Scott Aukerman]

Just a head in a pile of dust. Oh my gosh.

[Orville Redenbacher]

People can still tell I'm the man from the popcorn bottle because that's just my head as well.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That is true. You still like yourself.

[Scott Aukerman]

Let's be honest. Your head is probably 2/3 of your body. I mean, you know, you had a little tiny stick figure body on top of a normal sized head.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Your bow tie turned to dust as well.

[Scott Aukerman]

I don't know that I would recognize you and say, hey, ain't you the popcorn man? If you're.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Ain't you from the popcorn bottle. Why is this so hard for people? Everyone knows what a popcorn bottle is. It's a very common thing you just say, ain't you the man for the popcorn bottle.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Everybody eats their popcorn out of bottle.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I eat it by the bottle. Full. I bought a six pack of popcorn the other day.

[Scott Aukerman]

Well, Gillian, I. I don't know.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Ruined it.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah. I'm sorry. Look, can I talk to you for a second?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, fine. What?

[Scott Aukerman]

No, not you. Alimony. I'm sorry. I was talking to Gillion.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

How come I'm never part of the secret?

[Scott Aukerman]

Look, hey, I'll have a secret meeting with you right after this if you don't. If you want to.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Right. I look for.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, here we go. Gillian. So you blew it with Red and Bob.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Correction. You blew it.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, let's not point fingers, because whenever we do that, there's three fingers pointing back.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Pretty loud over there.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, all right. We'll keep it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I guess I gotta.

[Scott Aukerman]

Should I pivot? You gotta get it back to alimony. Tony, this is your last chance. Look, I've been worried about you because you used to have, like, NBC sitcom money, and now you're. Now you're doing indie films. You know, I don't know. And from what I can tell, you're sitting in a closet, which I don't know if there's a house attached to that or just your closet or something. I mean, I worry about you.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Thank you. I worried about you.

[Scott Aukerman]

I looked you up on Celebrity Net Worth the other day, and I was aghast at what I saw. You need to get those numbers up, baby. All right, all right, all right.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, give me a hint.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Give me a hint. I'm getting nowhere.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, well, you need to close this guy. Okay? You need to. First of all. No. That's what you almost did to Orville over there. No, you need to land this big fish. Okay.

[Gillian Jacobs]

All right. Okay.

[Scott Aukerman]

Come on back, everyone. Orville, you still here?

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'm still here.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's right.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You're left.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Alone.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're running out of time.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Gillion, Alimony. Tony. Tony, Tony, Tony. Alimony.

[Scott Aukerman]

I feel like there's unresolved issues here between Tony and Gillian here.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

And Tony, is.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is there anything you want to say?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, Gillian, I, I. I'm so sorry. I. The last thing I'd want to do. You're. You're. You're such a wonderful young woman. The last thing I want to do is hurt your feelings in any way, and I. Please accept my hearty apologies. And, and, and let me know. How can I make it up to you?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Well, it's so funny. I. I did think of one thing, one little thing you could do for me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Get him. Gillian.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I beg your pardon? Marry me. That sounds very ominous, but I feel like you're saying marry me.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's my lizard voice.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, I see. What a. That. Now that's an old fashioned girl who uses a lizard voice to propose to a man. Gilead. What choice do I have but to say yes? Of course I do. Since I've been married, I'm ado. Let's do this.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wow. You did it. You're the winner of our Showcase Showdown. Now, unfortunately, you didn't come within 500, so you don't get both Alimony Tony and. Or Orville Jessica. Alimony Tony. But. So you won't be a bigamist here, but again. Again. That's right. Alimony Tony.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Should we just do this?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yes, let's do it. Let's do it. I'm ready.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Comedy bang bang. Comedy bang Bang. Comedy bang Bang. Comedy bang bang.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Let's start the episode.

[Scott Aukerman]

That's how Gillian. She associates all of her marriages with that theme song. So that's what she wants to walk down the aisle too.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I understand.

[Scott Aukerman]

I understand. So it's like here comes the bride. So here she is.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Why she was doing that.

[Scott Aukerman]

And here she is. Here she is. Is everything.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

You an officiant?

[Scott Aukerman]

I am. Certainly legally can marry us. Although I believe the last time. Didn't Reverend Parsimony marry you?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes.

[Scott Aukerman]

Parsimony. That's right. Yes.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Troublesome man.

[Scott Aukerman]

He's. I don't think he's around though. So unfortunately it'll. It'll have to be me. Alimony Tony. Anything you want to say to her?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Gillian, since I first met you, it's been an hour. And now here we are standing at the altar, ready to pledge our troth to each other and be married for, I hope, forever.

[Scott Aukerman]

This time a lifetime.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I do, I do.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I do, I do, I do.

[Scott Aukerman]

I didn't even do. I didn't even want to wait for me to ask you. You are just always.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I do. I do. Bang, bang.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'm the popcorn girl.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Parodies. Oh, look, Orville is spitting kernels out.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of his mouth like you're throwing rice at a wedding. All right, well, it's not over yet because I haven't pronounced it. Is there anyone who objects to this wedding?

[Orville Redenbacher]

I object.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

What? Marvel.

[Scott Aukerman]

Marvel.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scratch.

[Scott Aukerman]

Under what grounds?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Gillian, ever since I met you and I were goat. I said, that woman right there is gonna be my second wife. I ain't been married in 71 years. And I know that it's time to date to put this gold popcorn Kernel on your left ring.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my God. He's holding out a golden popcorn kernel attached to a wedding band.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

How is he doing this with just a head?

[Scott Aukerman]

He's doing it with his tongue, of course.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I can't compete with this guy.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Scott, I need you to do one quick thing for. For me. Go to celebrity net worth.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Type in both of these gentlemen's names.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right?

[Gillian Jacobs]

And that's how I'll know what to do.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hold on, hold on.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Typing. Typing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Enhancing. Enhancing.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Enhancing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Enhancing. Oh, my God. They're exactly equal.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, my goodness.

[Scott Aukerman]

Of course. All of Orville's is in gold bars.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Okay, does that. Wait, you said that.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hold on.

[Gillian Jacobs]

It's worth more.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hold on.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Do your gold bar conversion.

[Scott Aukerman]

Enhancing.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Enhancing.

[Scott Aukerman]

Zooming in on enhancing.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Bold gauze.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, yeah, I looked up bold Gars.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Those are shameless fish.

[Scott Aukerman]

If you factor in the conversion rate, they still are exactly as rich as one another.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, my goodness.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Being made around him.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I'm gonna go with Orville then, I guess.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, alimony. Tony, I'm so sorry. In the middle of your wedding.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I can't believe it. I, I just love I A few.

[Scott Aukerman]

Steps away from the finish line.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I know. I, I, I left at the altar. That's a first for me. It's never happened before, but I wish Gilly nothing but the best. And of course, Orville, the better man or head of a bad one.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'll be back. I got enough money to buy my body back. Anybody that I want to buy. Name somebody who just died, I take that body.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

[Orville Redenbacher]

I'm gonna take Ruth Bader's body. Ruth Bader Bodyburg.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, so if we see Orville Redenbacher on the head of a woman with a long black cape, then we'll know it's you, right?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It'd be his head.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, I believe it was a cape.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

A lot of problems there, Scott, is a backwards.

[Scott Aukerman]

A red cape, but a backward cape. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Orville.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

We never do see them from the back. It's true.

[Scott Aukerman]

It's open. Like when you go to a hospital.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Doctors count.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

They could just be wearing another garment backwards.

[Scott Aukerman]

What if they're all naked from the back?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Oh, that's all I can think about now.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, my gosh. Well, congratulations, Gilly and Orville. But you're gonna have to get married on your own time because we're running out of time here. We only have time for one final feature on the show, and that's a little something called plug. You gotta put them into the bag. Oh, nice. That was Egg Punk Plug some junk by Evan 11111. That's five ones. Thanks so much to wash. That a.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Robot that wrote that song?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, it might be some sort of simulation or an algorithm wrote it.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Yeah, chillig.

[Scott Aukerman]

Better than any song you wrote.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, I've. To be fair, I just parodized existing songs.

[Scott Aukerman]

True, true enough, true enough. All right, what are we plugging? Gillian, obviously you have a major motion picture coming out in theaters this Friday.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes. Say the title once again for the people at home.

[Scott Aukerman]

Come play.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Yes. And then my episode of Six One 2006 on Disney in November.

[Scott Aukerman]

Fantastic alimony. Tony, what are you plugging here?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, I just like to plug a couple of podcasts that I like to listen to. One's called Stay F Homekins. It's a married couple who are doing a podcast in quarantine. They thought they'd be done by now, but it's still going. Another one is the Neighborhood Listen. Very funny podcast where two people take posts from the next door app and they use it as improv comedy fodder. They've had a lot of great guests, including people like Carl Todt.

[Scott Aukerman]

Hello, Mutter. Improv fodder. What do you think of that as a parodist?

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Hello, Mudder. Improv fodder. I would change the hello mudder part to something else.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. Hello, Bruda. Improv fodder.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Sure, absolutely.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, thank you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

And another podcast called threedom. That's.

[Scott Aukerman]

I could talk about that. I mean that's. That's three people talking over each other and a lot like this show in some ways and talk over each other.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

But the real people that are really talking.

[Scott Aukerman]

Real people really talking. That's. And that's out for free currently. That's Paul F. Tompkins, myself and Lauren Lapkis. Oh, you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wait, are you the Scott that's on threedom?

[Scott Aukerman]

I am the Scott that's on threedom, yes.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I never put it together.

[Scott Aukerman]

Our first episode came out Thursday and people can subscribe to that. They're all coming out for free here on the Irwolf Network or wherever people get their podcasts.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Well, that's wonderful news.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay. And Orville, what do you have to plug here?

[Orville Redenbacher]

Okay, well, I always want to plug in popcorn. And then. And you, you know what you can watch while you're eating? That popcorn is connecting on NBC Thursday nights at 8:00. You can watch that there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Is that on currently or is that about to premiere or that song currently.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Premiered couple weeks ago and it's on right now. You can watch it if you got Xfinity from Comcast, Charter Spectrum, Cox Communications. Optimum by Altice Time Warning Cable.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Wow.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Suddenly communication sparked.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Isn't Optimum from Altice Housewives spin off. It's on Bravo.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Optimum from Altiss that you can watch it on Bravo. And if you want to watch Bravo, you can watch it on New Wave Communications Mid Communication Wave Broadband Atlantic Broadband. So many cable providers out there.

[Scott Aukerman]

Wonderful.

[Orville Redenbacher]

Peacock.

[Scott Aukerman]

Oh, of course. Peacock. Yes. All right, well, I was gonna plug Threedom, but Alimony Tony beat me to the punch. But also, I guess you can check out all episodes of the Comedy Bang Bang TV show, of which, Gillian, you were on, like, three of those, weren't you?

[Gillian Jacobs]

Oh, yes, I was.

[Scott Aukerman]

Maybe even four. I think you might have been on four of them. And you dropped dressed like Pee Wee Herman in one for our Halloween episode. Perfect time to watch the Halloween episodes. By the way, this week, we did four Halloween episodes, and Gilly was in our episode 511 or 512 as Pee Wee Herman. And a great time to watch those. You can watch all of those on AMC, which is a new streaming service that's something like $9 a month. But I think you get Breaking Bads and Walking Deads and stuff.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

How come none of these services do, like a minor?

[Gillian Jacobs]

I was just thinking that.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Hey, you know those shows we do that you don't like? They're not on here. Oh.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Less and less is more.

[Scott Aukerman]

Less is more. All right, let's close up the old plug bag.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Can I sing the plug songs?

[Scott Aukerman]

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Do you want to. Do you want to have a Closing up the Plug Bag theme? Go ahead.

[Gillian Jacobs]

I would like every everyone to join me.

[Scott Aukerman]

Okay, great.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Everyone. And a one and a two and a one, two, three. Close it up. Close it up.

[Scott Aukerman]

Close it up. Close it up. Close it up. Close it up.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Close it up, Close it up, Close.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

It up, Close it up, Close it.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Up, Close it up, close it up.

[Scott Aukerman]

We're gonna close it up. You know, I mean, shorter than the normal one actually gets the details right. Says closing up the plug bag instead of opening it. I mean, you know, maybe lacks something melodically compared to the one that we normally do, but I'll take that note.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Are you sure about that?

[Scott Aukerman]

Not at all.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

I mean, because the other guy adds music to it. That's where the melody comes in.

[Scott Aukerman]

Sure, of course. Guys, I want to thank you so much, Gillian. Always great to see you, and I hope everything's going well, but wonderful to have you round these parts. Please don't be a stranger. Come by more often if you can. She's blowing kisses for the listener. Doesn't necessarily translate, but. Or she's doing something. As her lizard person, I can't quite.

[Gillian Jacobs]

Say that's my lizard goodbye. And my human kiss.

[Scott Aukerman]

Ah, wonderful. And elimony. Tony, I'm sorry we couldn't make a love connection here for you.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

That's all right. Look, I've been around the block. You know what I mean? Love happens and love goes away.

[Scott Aukerman]

I'm afraid you're gonna have to keep all that money for now. You'll get rid of it. Don't worry.

[Paul F. Tompkins]

Thank you, Scott. Thank you for bringing my failures.

[Scott Aukerman]

Yes, of course, Orville. I'm glad that we could make a love connection. And soon you'll have half the money that you normally have. But to a disembodied head, that's certainly more than enough, is it not?

[Orville Redenbacher]

It's more than enough. And I'm soon going to be on Ruth Bade Ginsburg's body. And I have all my money back because everybody's eating popcorn.

[Scott Aukerman]

All right, everyone eat popcorn this week to make sure that Gillian gets enough money. We'll see you next time. Thanks. Bye.

[Orville Redenbacher]
