Podcast appearances and mentions of billy merritt

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. 

Meet my really cool friend and great improviser, Murph McHugh. We met at a class with Billy Merritt, one of the founders of Upright Citizen's Brigade and I was struck by how effortlessly he played! He hails from DC and is quite a Renaissance man. I don't use the word "brilliant" often but it absolutely describes Murphy. To find out more about Murphy and take a class with him here are his contacts. His comedy group is Brick Penguin (brickpenguin.com) , he teaches at Dojo Comedy (dojocomedy.com) and The Radical Agreement Project (https://www.radicalagreement.com/) and his personal site is Murphymchugh.com

rabbitHOLE showNOTES – Episode 14

Our 11th Podcast Town escapade finds us in the real-life town of Marshfield, Massachusetts. Billy interviews the hilarious Peg Davis, our literal resident expert. Peg cleverly explains why the town is called MARSH VEGAS and confirms that Steve Carrel indeed owns the general store that his sister-in-law runs because...well...he's a busy celebrity type guy.  Find out what else Peg reveals and how the BIT Players bring the town to life with their podcast segments and scenic adventures! Enjoy these highlights from the Marshfield Podcast Network: The DIY Show - YOU CAN DO IT: Hosted by newlyweds Molly and Hal Cunningham.  This week's projects include making your own boat and birdhouses. The couple bravely embarks on their homemade dinghy's maiden voyage while trying to avoid the many surfers dotting the shoreline. We are unsure how Hal got trapped in the rafters at Bob's Steakhouse, but we hope he finds his way out!  YOU BETCHA!: Hosted by the semi-nefarious Gamblerino siblings, Gil and Gilda. These two find ways for Marsh Vegans (VAY-Gans, not Vee-Gans) to bet on everything from little league games to Pickle Bowling and surf lessons. Gil even hosts a "speakeasy" game night in the house they inherited from their Granny Sisterino Gamberino. We are convinced that the fix is in at the Senior Center, but you can form your own opinions. (NOTE: Gilda and Molly are high school besties.) Hall of Fame - Marshfield: Bobby and Robby may or may not be broadcasting from the Senior Center's basement. We are unsure where they come from, how they know each other, or why they have a podcast. We DO know that they have an intense bromance going, and Robby's ancestors fought on the "wrong side" of the American Revolution. Their podcast conjures up historical characters, like Benedict Arnold, primarily to shame Robby and guilt him into paying for their Surf Fest entry fees and lunch overlooking a decorative balcony.  Sponsors include Mom's Donuts, Levitate Shops, 2025 St. Patrick's Day Surf Festival, BoB's Steakhouse, the Gamblerino Kids, Kane's Sign Shop, the Marshfield Senior Center, The Pickle Bowling Association of Massachusets, and the National Pickle Bowling Association. If you haven't already, head on over to our MOVIE! MOVIE! Podcast for a two-part homage to Wes Anderson films we call "The Grand Cosmic Hotel."

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 to Tønsberg! Tønsberg is Norway's oldest city. Tønsberg is best known for its annual music festival—Slottsfjell, Castle Rock Tower—Slottsfjelltårnet, and its Viking origins.  More recently, Tønsberg's inhabitants have discovered Podcasting. They have more podcasts per capita than Norway's capital, OSLO! Imagine that!

Their marriage may be on the rocks, but their knowledge of seasonal braids and artificial beards is second to none! Who Needs Ikea Anyway: Hosted by Braun Holtzmann and Phil. Braun may have a method to his madness, but dropping Phil in Ikea with only 15 minutes to escape does seem cruel.

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!

West A (as the locals call it) is known for sunsets, rambling narratives, roadkill, and its annual city-wide scavenger hunt, "Quest Anderson."

You may even learn a few things about Bavaria that might be true!

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.

Welcome to Leavenworth, Washington, also known as Little Bavaria. Front Street is lined with Alpine-style buildings and restaurants serving German beer and food. The Nutcracker Museum displays thousands of nutcrackers, some dating back centuries.  The BIT Crew pays homage to Bavarian mainstays, including beer, pretzels, hot tubs, cold tubs, BMWs, Mini Coopers, Leiderhosen, the Bavarian flag, ice skating, polka music, and hot, hot goss!   You may even learn a few things about Bavaria that might be true! Not only does everyone in Leavenworth seem to have a GoFundMe, they also have podcasts!  Enjoy the Leavenworth Podcast Network's 2025 lineup! Hot Tub Chat: Hosted by Flannery Feinberg and Buford Billingsly. They aren't having much luck finding a hot, hot tub, but they are charming and their on-site segments are often educational. Cold. Colder. Coldest. Rocky and Helmut (the Bavarian) host this delightful podcast. They mostly inform tourists on what to do in freezing weather; sometimes Rocky tries to find Bavaria on a map and learn German during the acclaimed "Helmut Teaches German" segments. In the Barrell? Jenny Winter and Spring Smith spill the tea and find the drama behind the town's annual March Fest (like Oktoberfest...but in March). These two aren't afraid to stir the pots and poke the bears. You never know which local character will be in their hot seat.

Welcome to SEASON TWO of rabbitHOLE!!! Please resolve to listen and share every episode (please, please, pretty please)! 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.

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.

Welcome to Pennan, Scotland! Pennan became famous in the 1980s for being used as one of the main locations for the film Local Hero. Film enthusiasts have come from all over the world to make a phone call in the red telephone box in the village.  Lesser known, perhaps, is Pennan's Seagull Competition. Sources vary on the purpose, rules, and outcomes of the annual event.  There is a whisper campaign that Dr. Who will be in attendance this year. In recent years, seagulls have become increasingly aggressive and have chased off the once-thriving mackerel (pronounced Mack-Ah-Rell) population to the more habitable coastal waters of Norway (home to Charlie Chaplin).  If you hang out at the phone booth or one of Pennan's many golf courses, you may bump into local bachelor Jake (or is it Jack)? For 2 euro, you can take a selfie with him in the phone box. Please enjoy three of the Pennan Podcast Network's delightful podcasts. How's That Work?: Hosted by Marcie Bonnet and Seafarin' Sequoia. They think they have cracked the code to how the local telephones work without lines. Where's Nessie? Nessie believer/host Dean welcomes Nessie Hunter/skeptic Don to determine whether Nessie inhabits the local bodies of water.  Where Are They (Those Fish)? Janine and Patty host the show. Something or someone is scaring Pennan's mackerel off, and they aren't returning. Janine has enlisted Patty to shepherd them back to Pennan if she has to swim in the sea to do so.  Sponsors include The BBC, Sam's Seagulls, Jody (Dr. Who's Companion), Jake's Fantasy Dates, and George, the forgetful and perpetually lost garbage guy!  DIRECTOR/CREATOR:  Billy Merritt Editor: Hill Kane CAST:  Dean Aisles (Himself) Konrad Andrew (Sam of Sam's Seagulls) Terry Armstrong (Support Player) Amber Bellsdale (Patty) Luke Bovard (Seafarin' Sequoia) Don Slovin (Himself) Jason Spiro (Jody, Dr. Who's trusted companion) Lisa Steckman (Marcie Bonnet) Thea Marie Thorkildsen (Jake/Jack) Katya Vasilaky (Janine) Flannery Wilson (George) Special appearance by BILLY MERRITT as Shamus.

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.

Welcome to Stockton Heath in jolly old England. Stockton Heath boasts the most gin distilleries per capita in the UK. Its second claim to fame is having the largest number of podcasts per capita in the tri-county area.  The upcoming "Spring Barrel Fling" creates a palpable atmosphere of excitement, trepidation, and competitiveness as the townsfolk prepare their bodies and barrels for this annual spectacle. The Fling consists of inserting oneself (or two selves) into a spent gin barrel and hurling it down the hill, over a ramp, and into the landing zone. The fastest time in each division wins possession of the "GOLDEN BARREL" or the "DOUBLE BARREL" trophy and bragging rights. Spoiler ALERT: Chauncey Stovepipe is miraculously alive and well. He is currently living with his mum, his iguana Spencer, and his broom collection in Dorchester. His new podcast, The Dorchester Chowder Report, has gone viral, and he is quite the man about town. Please enjoy three of Stockton Heath's most charming and relevant podcast offerings (courtesy of the Stockton Heath Podcast Network). The Great Personality Pod: Hosted by Sabrina and Konrad. They have never met IRL Until today... The Barstool (#BarLife): Hosted by Lina and Clumsy Cassie. The show's slogan is Mix Drinks | Drink Drinks | Spill Drinks | Repeat. Special Appearance by Bob in the corner. Healthy Home: Hosted by Laura Richardson and her real-life Cousin Jen. These Cousinprenuers own the local gym and Cousins' Botanicals.

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. TLDR Version: Always confirm muffin ingredients. IYKYK As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures. If you enjoy rabbitHOLE, follow, rate, and share rabbitHOLE with your friends! APOLOGIES:  Ikea (yet again), the OSCARS®, the GRAMMYS®, Insane Clown Posse, caffeine, Heinz Ketchup, Belle & Sebastian, IMDb, Sally Field, Basements, Pharrell Williams, Tufted Titmice, Dead Pets, Hill's Dad, Fear Factor, and the Williamsburg Co-op (if there is such a thing). 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!
