Bug Mane is the podcast alter-ego of [REDACTED], known for guest-starring and causing hijinks on podcasts such as Doughboys.
Bug Mane first appeared on The Great Movie Ride episode of Podcast: The Ride, where he played the gangster Bugsy Malone (and later Bugsy Bones), an escaped convict with an affinity for putting jewels in his mouth. Bug Mane has been casually mentioned in later episodes, with Scott typically talking about going somewhere with a friend and saying "bzz bzz"
According to a tweet from Podcast: The Ride on November 23, 2017: "Bugsy Malone and Bug Mane are definitely two different people. Maybe they can appear together?".
