About this listen

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.)2025 Social Sciences

  • Thank You Fluoride!
    Sep 13 2025

    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.

  • Best of rabbitHOLE - Meet Sensei Ken
    Aug 13 2025

    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.

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

  • You Can't Give 1000% - And Other rabbitHOLES
    Jul 13 2025

    🎙️ Rabbit Hole – Ep. 16
    ONE HUNDRED Makes Me Think Of...

    The BIT crew is back and climbing into a century-sized rabbit hole. Billy kicks things off with the word ONE HUNDRED, and what follows is a chain reaction of improv scenes, chaotic recollections, and middle school flash memories.

    💥 Highlights include:

    • The cold, hard truth: giving 110% is a lie

    • A rare "regular person" trading card convention

    • Designers vs. Accountants: Spreadsheets vs. Slides

    • MAC or PC—choose your allegiance

    • Konrad unearths traumatic tween tales, including a baseball card Ponzi scheme

    • A magician's "assistant" is sawed in half…and walks away

    🚫 APOLOGIES: Coming soon. (We probably owe a few.)

    rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted and fueled by the BIT CREW's real-life flash memories.
