rabbitHOLE Improv

Ever stared at a toothpaste tube and wondered if it could take you higher? In episode 18 of Rabbit Hole, Billy Merritt and the BIT Comedy players tumble from dental conspiracies and Norwegian stop-motion cartoons to hoarding hotel soaps, prank-calling Captain Crunch, and even a pirate gang in juvie. Along the way, fluoride turns into Flo Rida, the Soggies declare war, and toothpaste becomes the most questionable substance at the Cannabis Cup. It's improv chaos at its finest: absurd connections, quick character swaps, and the kind of storytelling detours only this ensemble could conjure. From corporate "green peas" to Plato's cave, with a bit of toothpaste smoke in the air, this Rabbit Hole has it all. 🚫 APOLOGIES:  Dentists everywhere. Captain Crunch, Admiral Crunch, and the entire Crunch Navy. The Soggies. Norwegian stop-motion animators of Carius and Bactus. Hotel housekeeping staff. Holiday Inn, Motel 6, and The Four Seasons. Johnson & Johnson (for refilling fancy bottles with baby shampoo). The Cannabis Cup. Plato and his cave dwellers. Crank Yankers (for name-dropping). Pirates everywhere, especially juvie pirates (for making you a support group). "Green peas" and corporate America.  Anyone who's ever told a story too many times (we see you, Gerard). rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted and fueled by the BIT CREW's real-life flash memories.

I asked the BIT Crew to nominate their favorite episodes for a special August replay while we are on hiatus.  I selected one of Thea's picks because it went back to season one - when we were all baby holers. She says, "Googlie Wooglie I like a lot because of Sensei Ken, the fun game with cool words, and just love Geoff's Keanu Reeves impersonation, and Keanu Reeves as Abraham Lincoln."   Episode Five has what I consider our best ending. We all break each other—even Billy Merritt. I dare you not to laugh. We'll be back on September 13th with a brand new hole!   ~~ In rabbitHOLE's fifth episode, the BIT CREW educates listeners about some critical issues, including: Googlie Wooglie Mc Dojo Grammar Police  Konrad takes a deep dive into the origins of the term GOOGOL (a one with a hundred zeroes). He starts the BIT CREW off on an improv adventure of surf lingo, organized crime involving unsuspecting UK co-eds, "re-imagining" history, and mispronouncing words. Episode five has our favorite ending so far…we all just lost it – we hope you laugh so much your sides will ache, and your heart goes pitter-pat.

rabbitHOLE showNOTES – Episode 15 Billy asked the BIT Crew to try a new opening for the 15th episode. You could say...we're going a little organic. Billy gives a one-word suggestion and the troupe plays a round of "that makes me think of" to generate scene ideas. We call it THAT MAKES ME THINK OF! SUPER FUN!   Suggestion = BLEACH.  🚫 APOLOGIES TO: New Kids On The Block (NKOTB), the Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar, Michael Buble, Gallagher, therapists, Computer Programers, Wings, Antique Store Owners, The Seattle Mariners, Tardy People (sorry not sorry).

rabbitHOLE showNOTES – Episode 14 🎧 This Week's HOLES: Salon Breakups Piñata Strategies The Jumpy Poley Defense™ In this episode, Amber makes a compelling case: breaking up with your hair salon is basically ending a relationship — complete with emotional baggage and wildly inconsistent communication. She also lifts the lid on some outrageous salon screening processes. (Do you know how long it takes to cut your hair? Shouldn't they?) From there, the BIT CREW naturally spirals into couples therapy for stylists and clients… and a few other unexpected pairings. 👊 Meanwhile, "Adult Piñata" is officially an Olympic sport now (we decided), sparking heated discussion about: Childhood candy rivalries Dangerous playground games Alt-piñata materials And whether judges should be allowed to jump on defendants (spoiler: no) 💥 By the end, you may find yourself asking: What other childhood activities deserve Olympic recognition? Could postal-carrier therapy save America? And seriously… how did you survive elementary school? 🚫 APOLOGIES TO: The entire D.C. salon scene, Olympic organizers (again), stylists who don't name-drop, Piñatas, Bazookas, Machetes, bankers, therapists... you get the idea. rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted and fueled by the BIT CREW's real-life internet spirals, nostalgic chaos, and shared trauma.

WOW! This is our lucky 13th Episode of rabbitHOLE.  Today's Holes: Philosopher Smackdown Terms of Art Patrick Swayze Flannery explains why analytic philosophers rule and post-structuralism is B.S. Some of them even make cameos.  By the end of the episode, you may wonder if time exists, what's real, if there is beauty, and why is there so much "accidental" wetness in romcoms? The living rooms cheerfully explore soccer parents, jargon, violent ballerinas, and some of Patrick Swayze's best work. APOLOGIES: Philosophy (yes... all of it), ballet, Olympics, reality cooking shows, medical personnel, Plato, youth soccer, announcers, France, Italy, alternative restauranteurs, perpetually tardy people (YKWYA), and of course, Max Headroom.

Welcome back to SEASON TWO and our 12th Episode of rabbitHOLE. We are told publishing 12 episodes is a big deal and we're running with it! Today's Holes: Your Spotify Year D.J. Granny 80 is the New 25 Leisure Suit Larry Yeuhan outs a colleague who tried to pass off his family's listening hours as his own. She also might highlight the dark side of Slack channel chats. You will love the episode's numerous senior citizen heavy metal fans. If D.J. Granny is good enough for Ted Dansen, she should be good enough for you. Obscure bands aren't the only ones to have their coffee house communities and curated playlists. The youthful grannies are making a killing putting music snobs (like Flannery) out of business. How fun is it to listen to Amber and Luke geek out over early video games and the clever way they authenticated users? Please enjoy! APOLOGIES: Metallica, Pantera, the AARP, Senior Citizens, Ted Dansen, the United States Postal Service, Lars Ulrich, Werther's Old Fashioned Butterscotch Candies, Hard Candy in General,  Candy Warehouses, Elon Musk, DOGE, Space X, Spotify, and many more.

Welcome to the second HOLE of SEASON TWO. Today's Holes: Improvised Shakespeare Waiting for Godot, Guffman, Lefty, etc. Unintentionally Scary Children's T.V. Shows BIT player Amber takes us on a journey that opens on Improvised Shakespeare and culminates with Twin Peak's pain and suffering symbol - creamed corn. Who knew? Flannery confesses her love for Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which triggers Luke to recall a Tempest performance with only three actors. This leads to a slightly morbid tale of Amber's grandmother saying goodbye from her hospice bed but then asking for a tuna fish sandwich. Finally, Luke tries to convey that the early muppets were very "weird," triggering Thea's memories of a dark and horrifying Norwegian children's T.V. show (Pompel og Pilt) where one puppet never finds the other and meets a broom.  This episode features many celebrity "sightings," including George Lucas, David Lynch, Dale Cooper*, Ross Bryant, Cookie Monster, Kermit the Frog, and the Bard himself! I can't give it all away here in the notes!  APOLOGIES: Creamed corn, the celebs listed above, Jim Henson and the Muppets (for at least the third time), Kyle Merritt MacLachlan (no relation), Chat Shows, Italy, Norway (sorry, Thea), The Nutcracker,  puppets, and Diabetes.

Today's Holes: Stuff Astronauts Like Accentuating the Positive Faking Your Religion BIT Founder/Director/Leader BILLY MERRITT takes the helm by painting a vivid and endlessly hilarious picture of Florida's "SPACE COAST." Please help us answer the age-old question, "How many TIKI BARS are too many?" Jason shares "letters from Gramps" about stick-to-it-iveness. Brett reminisces about accidentally reciting a sexist passage from an H.R. Hubbard book his Mom gave him. Deema confesses to faking his way through religious rituals to keep peace in the family until he can't take it anymore. Once he declares his authentic belief (or disbelief in his case), his father accuses him of being a communist, and everything goes back to normal. Thea confesses to participating in a religious rite of passage only for the money gifts. DO NOT judge her!  APOLOGIES:  NASA, Tang, Scatting, the planets Mars, Venus, and Penis, the Astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Matt, the professions of bartender, doctor, and lawyer, Elon Musk, mermaids, all organized religions, women, tigers, Bing Crosby, the GRAMMYs, and the entire Hubbard family.

Ever stared at a word until it stopped being a word? That's where this week's rabbit hole begins—when Hillary's brain short‑circuits over the word speaker and takes a detour through psychology, frogs, and semantic satiation. 🐸💭 From there, the BIT crew spins a surreal chain of scenes featuring: Two frogs debating existence (and auditioning for a Budweiser commercial) A crappy math teacher turned football coach turned U.S. President Nine‑year‑old engineering prodigy designing roller coasters and performing surgery Captain  Mouse trying to make it big at Disneyland And a funeral so wild it probably shouldn't be this funny Somewhere between linguistic collapse and theme‑park chaos, we even manage to learn why you should always show your work—and never praise your principal in private. 💬 Favorite Quotes: 🧠 "A frog does not repeat. A frog resonates." – Actual comment from a frog fan forum (via Hill's monologue) 🧮 "Budget cuts is math, so if you get rid of the math teacher, maybe the budget works itself out." – Coach Brent, Bad Math Teacher & U.S. President 🎢 "He flew off that rollercoaster and did three sick flips. It was so f*cking cool." – A eulogy you'll never forget 🚫 APOLOGIES TO: Frogs, Budweiser, Disney, Mickey Mouse, math teachers, grammar purists, law‑school pedants, lovers of the subjunctive tense, roller‑coaster engineers, safety inspectors, the guy who IRL flew off the roller coaster, Captain Mouse and the entire Mouse family, adjunct professors, insurance, semantic satiation, and anyone who still believes words have meaning. rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted and fueled by the BIT CREW's real-life internet spirals, nostalgic chaos, and shared trauma.

Welcome to rabbitHOLE's Season One Finale/New Year's Eve Bonus Episode.  The last rabbit holes of 2024 include: Archaic Japanese Crime Families Theater Hopping + Line Cutting Pickleball Gangs Bee Keeping Age Konrad visits Kobe, Japan, and delves into the very expensive (and ultra-marbled) beef for which it is known. He discovers the "real Kobe's" criminal underbelly with its aging membership and inevitable demise. Laura admits to working at a movie theater and infers that if you are cool about it, hopping from theater to theater MIGHT be tolerated. Hill may disagree, but we can all agree that Jason's dad was a line hopper and that's NOT okay! Is "Bee Keeping Age" a new colloquialism for "person of a certain age?"  The answers you seek lie within this episode. APOLOGIES:  The Yakuza "Social Network," Shakshuka, World History (specifically the Greek and Roman Empiracal eras, Hill's Dad + Jason's Dad, Movie Theaters, the United Nations (again), Pickleball, Pickling, Beekeeping, Circuses, Lions, Tigers, Ligers, Sovereign Citizens, and a few others we probably forgot to mention.   As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

In rabbitHOLE's eighth episode, the BIT CREW heads down some interesting holes, including: Charlie Chaplin Fabric Power Rankings Mascot Abuse The Great Muppet Caper Luke starts us off with a twisty tale beginning with the 1089 albums you must listen to before you die, (Anyone else a fan of Ogden Nuts Gone Flake? What about Stanley Unwin? Nope? Maybe?) a visit to the GOON SHOW, and then some forgotten facts about the Little Tramp. We also learned that Jason may or may not have a fabric fetish. Multiple cast members suffered physical abuse from mean kids when wearing mascot costumes. Flannery attempts to get ANIMAL (the Muppet) the recognition he deserves. Brent reveals his favorite movie is indeed the Great Muppet Caper and proceeds to BIT-splain Dr. Teeth and the Mayhem. It's a wild ride - we're glad you're on it with us. APOLOGIES:  Sweeden (once again), non-angry poets, Burlap to Cashmere (a real band), Banana Republic (sponsor us?), the colors purple and bone, Hanes, cotton, suede, WhiteCastle, Poutine, Canada, beat poets, the Easter Bunny, cheese sandwiches, and whoever should have been on this list but was inadvertently omitted.                         As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

In rabbitHOLE's seventh episode, the BIT CREW heads down some interesting holes, including: Freddie Mercury + Queen Skinny Jeans Dancing Raisins Recitals Katya explains how she grew up in a pop culture void and only recently educated herself on the band Queen and its frontman. The troupe has a lively discussion on who should and should NOT wear skinny jeans. (I was today years old when I learned that women's pockets are smaller than men's pockets.) Amber relives a minor childhood trauma of performing in a dance recital at a county fair dressed as a raisin - except the homemade costumes didn't really look like raisins - and being stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel. So funny! APOLOGIES:  Madonna, Michael Jackson, NASA, History Teachers, Queen Elizabeth II, the California Dancing Raisins, Bank Robbers, Carnies, Carberators (aka corroborators), Buckingham Palace, the poop emoji, and anyone with extremely long testicles.

This is a BONUS Spooky Season episode of rabbitHOLE. It's only fitting to start with a cast member's haunting story*. Of course, in proper rabbitHOLE form, the BIT CREW A-Zs it to dead animal furniture. In episode six, you'll hear about hauntings, signs from beyond the grave, random appearances in rap videos, ironic award show categories, daytime dance clubs, over-caffeinated dates, New Ikea, talking furniture, and approval seeking.

BONUS NOTE! About Aleister Crowley - by Sabrina Kim Banes Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, writer, and mountaineer who lived from 1875 to 1947. He led the international magical society Ordo Templi Orientis, and his grasp of occult knowledge was second to none. He created his own religion, Thelema, whose teachings are contained in The Book Of the Law — and yes, the Gnostic Mass really does involve consuming trace amounts of bodily fluids.  Crowley's Tarot deck, the Thoth deck, which he co-created with Lady Frieda Harris, is known to this day as one of the most powerful and beautiful in existence. Nowadays, people remember Crowley as a sort of early 20th-century edgelord who wrote inflammatory poetry and encouraged people to do drugs and have lots of sex. Some say he drove all his partners mad. But his greatest esoteric teaching, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," continues to endure within occult circles. If you want to read more about him you should check out Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kaczynski. Not a reader? You can learn a little about some of the wild hijinks of the OTO's Agape Lodge (and the life of Jack Parsons) from the television series Strange Angel.  All errors included here are the sole responsibility of Sabrina Kim Banes!

In rabbitHOLE's third episode, the BIT CREW reminisces about their first duck, the forced vacation policy in Scandinavian countries (we admit it, we're envious), no one noticing when you leave work to take classes, and selling everything you own after experiencing minimalist culture (even the clothes on your child's back).
