Episode Overview

In this "Bonus Bang" episode of Comedy Bang Bang, host Scott Aukerman gathers a rogues' gallery of beloved characters for a wild, quarantine-era roundtable. The show is a comedic free-for-all featuring:

• Gino Lombardo (Gabrus), a disheveled intern locked in a pizzeria basement,
• Entre P. Neur (Nwodim), an overly confident but clueless inventor,
• O.J. Simpson (Tart), the ever-disingenuous football legend, and
• Roger Peculiar (Tarver), a southern-accented documentary star of "Goose Tycoon" desperate for a Tiger King-level hit.

Set during the early days of the pandemic, the episode explores absurd life updates, ludicrous business ideas, and parodic pop culture takes, all in signature CBB style.

Key Discussion Points and Memorable Segments

1. Checking In: Quarantine Life (03:16 – 15:22)

• Gino Lombardo details being quarantined in the basement of Mama Gina’s Pizzeria on Long Island, surviving on gabagool and his mother's breast milk.

  • "I've molded some dough into assorted relatives. We had Christmas here, which was really nice." (07:43)
  • Absurd tech setup: powering his Zoom with copper wires stuck in gabagool and salami.
  • Comedic riffing on losing track of time, drinking breast milk (“back to the straight tap”) and being kidnapped by a pizzeria patron obsessed with “fat guys.”

• Gino provides quarantine survival tips, including how he orders water for Scott:

  • "I just ordered on postmates from 10 different delivery drivers, one bottle of water each..." (14:44)

2. Entre P. Neur’s "Inventions" & Loss of Faith (15:23 – 27:29)

• Entre P. Neur enters with her characteristic bizarre business schemes, riffing on rectangles and gathering spaces.

  • Claims the pandemic has shaken her faith, yet she’s "not scared" and is "ass up, ass up, face down, not getting fucked one bit." (16:24)

• Pushes concepts that are thin parodies of churches, DVD-ROM players, and invents “soap”:

  • "It's kind of a cylindrical...container...you pump it into your hand, add water...suds form—the virus will not be able to stand." (24:55)

• Scott tries to explain she's reinventing existing products, sparking surreal banter about hand-washing and business investment.

3. Enter O.J. Simpson: Sporting and Social Quandaries (33:04 – 45:34)

• Carl Tart as O.J. brings cringey, deadpan humor about his football legacy, SNL hosting, and penchant for bad ideas:
  • "I hosted Saturday Night Live in 1978 and I did a whole speech about Orientals." (34:44) — (Scott: "I don’t remember that.")
• O.J. offers pandemic tips (stockpiling toilet paper and masks), reminisces about amorous pizza benders at Mama Gina’s, and even discusses prison riot gear with Gino:
  • "During a riot, you gotta wrap phone books around your stomach...who would want to be stabbed? I mean, that seems like a horrible thing to go through." (43:48)

4. Culture Clash and Atlanta Deep Dives (48:36 – 51:12)

• Entre P. Neur and O.J. digress into Atlanta geography and the Coca-Cola Museum.
  • O.J.’s story about foreign sodas is repeatedly derailed, causing frustration:
    • Entre P.: "Now, what does this have to do with..." (50:01)
    • O.J. takes ages to tie his story to Atlanta’s east/west divide and never really makes the connection.

5. Roger Peculiar and “Goose Tycoon” (51:12 – 68:41)

• Drew Tarver’s Roger Peculiar introduces himself as the star of a self-made documentary series "Goose Tycoon," meant to ride the coattails of Tiger King.

  • His show, focused on old geese at a petting zoo, is hilariously bland compared to Tiger King.
  • Pitches the documentary to iPhone Wallet, Redfin TV, and CISO 2:
    • "My final pitch was to the iPhone app Wallet." (55:04)
  • Reveals nemesis Angela Dumpson (“my Carol Baskin”), petty goose feuds, and damage done by geese at Toby Keith’s bar.

• Roger demonstrates his musical “side-career”:

  • Song Sampler:
    • "Hey now, you’re a Goose man, get your game on, go play..." (66:46)
    • "Mom Goose bit my finger, get your game on, go play..."
    • "Beaks are just hard mouth...All that glitters is gold, only shooting stars break the mo..."
  • The songs descend into increasingly lazy All-Star parodies.

6. Wild Tangents, Insults, and Signature Banter

• Gino’s off-color tangents about auto-erotic asphyxiation, mouse mating habits, and “bagel boss” are frequent and outrageous.
  • "A guy wrapped his dick in flour and by the end he made a full-on bagel in my ass." (42:19)
• Massive riffing about “the circle of life,” generic business pitches, and pop culture references (CISO, Peacock, Tiger King, etc.).
• O.J. makes tone-deaf comments about murder conspiracies in Tiger King:
  • "I think Joe Exotic got so upset because Carol Baskin was clearly cheating on him...and I think he stabbed her right on up." (60:08)

7. The Final Plug Bag (69:04 – 77:31)

Cast breaks character to plug real projects:

• Gabrus: Promotes his podcasts (High & Mighty, Action Boys).
• Tart: Plugs The Flagrant Ones.
• Nwodim & Tarver: Plug hygiene, hand-washing, and the shows Teacher’s Lounge, The Other Two.
• Surrealist banter about coming to Scott’s house to do live improv, a running thread about being available after September, and various fictional/fake endeavors.

Summary

This episode is Comedy Bang Bang at its most surreal and character-driven, gleefully satirizing pop culture (especially the Tiger King doc craze), quarantine life, and the American obsession with oddball entrepreneurship. The improvisational chemistry between cast members keeps the energy frantic, the jokes flying, and every segment feeling like it could go off the rails at any moment. For long-time fans, it's a treasure trove of running gags; for newcomers, it's a wild, hilarious ride through the bizarro world of CBB.

Essential if you want to hear:

• Faux-deranged quarantine strategies
• Satirical sendups of business and pop culture trends
• Characters riffing on everything from “hand washing with suds” to geese-based Netflix pitches
• Farcical musical moments and callback-heavy improv

Notable Sign-off:
O.J.: “Scott, I just want to say you’re a gem and a scholar… joined at the hip. Scott Aukerman, O.J. Simpson—the bond can never be broken.” (77:31)

Scott: “I would love Comedy Bang Bang to always be associated with you, O.J.” (77:44)

For maximal enjoyment: Listen for the wild tangents, failed pitches, and offhand one-liners. And remember: “I’m just saying. Take care.”
