Frequency: 1 episode/24d. Total Eps: 55

An international cast uses their personal digital odyssey stories to inspire hilarious improvised scenes. You know... one moment, you're searching the origins of the French horn, and the next, you're on an obscure webpage obsessing over the migratory patterns of penguins. Time is of NO essence. Before you know it, hours have evaporated, and you're an armchair expert on everything from ancient Sumerian bread recipes to the biomechanics of dragonfly wings. Welcome to the world of endless clicks, where curiosity isn't just satisfied—it's insatiable. (The “Rabbit Hole” is a long-form improv format developed by Billy Merritt for The BIT Comedy Network.)

Crime Families | Line Cutting | Pickleball Gangs | Beekeeping Age

Season 1 · Episode 9

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 • Duration 31:52

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.

Charlie Chaplin | Fabric Power Rankings | Mascot Abuse | The Great Muppet Caper

Season 1 · Episode 8

Friday, December 13, 2024 • Duration 26:41

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.

Freddie Mercury’s Diet | Skinny Jeans | CA Dancing Raisins

Season 1

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 28:27

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.

Sorry, not sorry: Skinny Jeans and Serial Killers

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.

Googlie Wooglie | Mc Dojo | Grammar Police

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) and 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.

As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, August 13, 2024 • Duration 25:47

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). This episode was quite an educational trip… we hope you remember your first duck!
