Matt has an amazing improv group reunion while trying to avoid Kevin Smith. At Sparta, Matt's first show gets a standing ovation; the second show…ehh, Matt can explain. Plus a game of Obelisk.

SUMMARY: Matt is feeling the "pressure" in Morristown, N.J., being on the receiving end of some awkward jokes and using his phone to own a drunk. Jacob learns about drug side effects and gets his ear bent at Taco Bell. Paul fixates on plastic Kim Cattrall and ruins a load of laundry. Also, Scoop Mail and a Scoopardy.

SUMMARY: Paul's latest home improvements lead our discussion to house-stealing bees, Matt is out and about in Boston with comedy legend Rondell Sheridan, and Jacob has opinions about the Nevada DMV's program to snitch on unregistered vehicles. Plus Columbo in Space, Scoop Mail, and a 'Before and After' Scoopardy.

Jacob is excited about the Cosmo's new special to attract locals. Matt sees a time-traveling musical on board; the boys consider creating a cruise ship show.

"the mood is right" for Jacob when Paul McCartney plays at Raiders
Stadium. Plus, Paul goes crazy for Rice Chex swag and OG game

syphilis, and a film remake-themed Scoopardy.

SUMMARY: Celestia Ward joins us after a weekend of creating filthy caricatures at Scoopfest. A troubling visit to the optometrist leads Paul to having the best day of his life. Celestia is organizing a Skepticamp in Las Vegas on Oct. 25, and the conversation leads to the challenges of promoting skepticism in these troubling times. Also shop talk about caricatures and improv, plus a Scoopardy about fun things to do in Vegas.

SUMMARY: Matt's in St. John, but not the one he expected to visit. With Scoopfest still fresh in our hearts, the chat extolls its highlights… the Bucket Shows, a windy but fun Whiskey BBQ, all the fantastic performers, trivia battles, and podcast tapings, and much love for Goudeau and Pint of Plain. We finish off with a "One Hit" Scoopardy.

SUMMARY: We're live at ScoopFest with Brian Brushwood, Justin Robert Young, and all the wonderful Scoops in the audience. Is Brushwood keeping up with Asshole Blackjack?
