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

    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. If you enjoy the show, do your part:

  • Philosopher SmackDown | Terms of Art | Patrick Swayze
    Apr 13 2025

    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.

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

  • Your Spotify Year | D.J. Granny | 80 is the New 25 | Leisure Suit Larry
    Mar 13 2025

    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.

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