Cold Open
Bonnie, Bryce and Justin are confused by a YouTube voice over guy.
Remember that Mr. Show Bit?
Brian started out the show by doing a voice that reminded him of a character from the Law School sketch from Mr. Show. Interestingly enough, the professor in the sketch is the same dude that plays Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul and Bob Odenkirk (dude who plays Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman) is one of the students. Crazy!
Thanks Brian for unearthing this amazing coincidence! HOORAY BRIAN!
Man, Steven Cogswell is Great

Hey, We Got Authors, Right? Let's Write Something
These author dudes, are legitimate award nominees, so let's write a dumb story with them on the show. Our protagonists, Gargle and Ken, work in a west Texas Taco Bell. They're two college boys that dream of working in the Taco Bell lab cooking up new delicious creations. In their spare time they've come up with and amazing new item, but they've run out of ground beef. On the radio, they hear news of a murderer on the loose in town. A while later, a mysterious man enters the Taco Bell matching the criminal's description. Gargle and Ken spill some water and push him into it making it look like the guy slipped and fell. The dude bleeds out and the two bros high five. That's when the news announces that the murderer has been apprehended. They just killed some random dude. They make the guy into a secret sauce and win the contest to become Taco Bell scientists thanks to their "Murderito".
- Ok, time for the sequel
The guys are livin' large, they have their own Murderito Taco Bell spin-off chain of restaurants. Everything's great, but they're running out of murder meat. One day, in walks the man they thought they had murdered. Someone figured out how to clone the man so they murder him again to make more Murderitos. It's like the Prestige.
