    64 - "Lecherous record label tradition"

    Hal Griffin leads this week's biggest smash, and this hit is bigger than King Kong himself. These are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Time Machine" at 7:10 "Bigfoot Hunters" at 21:03 "Mambos No. 1-5" at 35:55 "Sunday Drive" at 45:22 We talked Aslan remakes, woke detectives, and a good amount of jazz slander. Our brains are made entirely of media, which is probably fine. Snaps to Zack Norton for another great piece of writing/heat stroke. Take a shower! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    63 - "Volcano PI, Inc."

    Ryan Ellington and Tyler Durniak are at the top of this week's call sheet, and everyone's buzzing about it, like a bunch of damn bees. These are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. It's wild. "Irish Lies" at 6:53 "Newsroom" at 20:52 "Vanderbilt Castle" at 32:40 "Volcano" at 46:15 This one was off the rails from the start. None of us know why, but we tumbled through families hating on fancy stuff, sip and stab cocktail hours, and coastal elitism at large. Big ups to Zack Norton for writing half the sketches. With a low-enough self esteem, that counts as a power move! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    62 - "A boyfriend widower"

    Monica Carroll and Brandon Pires are above this week's title and the critics can't stop raising the roof. As dictated by ancient custom: These are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Break Up" at 6:30 "Museum of Presidents" at 21:51 "Rob Zombie Inspection" at 35:15 "Pirates" at 46:15 Topics included bats in the attic, matching overalls, and some new/old Katlin grandad lore.  Big ups to Zack Norton for writing sketches with energy. It's dark, but it's energy! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    61 - "Intergalactic pharmacy"

    Mark Gallagher is this year's biggest lead, and the reviews are in: Five thousand stars. Once again and forever, these are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Regular Dr. Who" at 8:12 "No Man's Land" at 21:46 "Kiss of Death" at 33:10 "YA Novel" at 44:44 We talked about movies, how much we love singing, and some other spinouts. Thanks to Matt Shore for a great sketch. Welcome to the writer's room! It's a prison! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    60 - "What's a badgerine?"

    Sky Nockels and Raoul Biron return to Hollywood MA with their trademark movie star magnetism. Per always, these are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Radio Games" at 6:46 "Photo Album" at 18:15 "Tile Guy" at 31:31 "Shaw's Steak Redemption" at 43:32 We started where all things do with Raoul's geopolitical takes, then some Allston weirdos, and the suburban glory of South Shore celebs. Thanks to heroes Sean Sullivan, Rob Crean, and Zack Norton for writing very funny sketches. Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    59 - "Whale on someone"

    Rob Crean and Rob Crowley lead this week's box office blockbuster to huge acclaim. Possibly too much acclaim! As tradition dicates, these are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Snakes" at 8:19 "Leprechaun Radio" at 21:54 "Blarney King" at 36:01 "Southie" at 47:38 We talked through some Catholic stuff, the monarchy of the radio airwaves, and the King of All Media (Henry the 8th). It might be insular but that's H-Town baby! Big ups to Zack Norton and Adam Langlois for great sketches/novellas about broken people! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    58 - "The Bambino mummy"

    Sean Sullivan tops the bill on this week's episode, and the box office is going nuts. We agree! These are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "Consult" at 6:36 "Dear Substitute" at 17:20 "Number One Song" at 32:54 "Paleontologists" at 44:56 Had some pretty strong ideas during this one, including a Canceled House reality series and an all-hook-hands style attorney. Meanwhile, the sketches keep the focus on roof-raising and rock 'n roll, but we all knew that. All all our love/concern to Zack Norton for writing really funny sketches. Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.

    57 - "Not the Italian bind-off!"

    Maddie L. Kelly and Matt Shore costar in this week's biggest release: This podcast. Now and forever, everyone is reading sketch comedy for the first time, live into a microphone. It's like a trust fall! "Revenge" at 6:44 "The Ides of Marcia" at 16:35 "Switchboard" at 33:17 "Mall Hang" at 46:16 Checking all the podcast boxes, we talked about PETA psy-ops, John's tattoos, and Michael B. Jordan. Normal show. Nothing to see here. Huge shoutout to Hal Griffin and Zack Norton for writing hilarious sketches. What mind-palaces! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.
