What do the Wizard of Oz, 9/11 and Ringo Starr all have in common? I’ll give ya three guesses… Go ahead, I can wait... Besides all being subjects on this week’s episode, they are all topics of great controversy, and that’s why we had to bring back Celina Flores to try and break these down with us.

But of course, these ideas are not self contained… We trailed into many subjects topics, everything from the Coreys and some of their less notable works to the musings of a certain famous 20th century poet who turn out to be more influential than he could have dreamed.

After reflecting on our last bracket where we went through @VHSDates and played matchmaker, our resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron came up with the perfect solution for the problem of what to do this month.

So: because this wondrous and beautiful account of newly unearthed video personal ads turned out to be a brilliant improv troupe, we decided to discuss hoaxes. And not just any hoaxes, but ones that got us good. Everything from Andy Kaufman to the Blair Witch Project. All that, and more!

Make sure you’re in a sterile environment, because it’s Probin’ Time! That’s right. We at the Pit love to learn about things we grew up with but never knew or understood the origins of. So this week, based on the suggestion of the one and only Troy from the Outsider’s Social Club, we are about to crack one open and sing our hearts out to some karaoke!

Besides learning about the origins, we also travel the world, learning about the effects of this globetrotting trend. Everything from the karaoke world championships in Finland, back to the US to meet Bob & Bev, then all the way into the Philippines to look at the “My Way” killings. All that, and more!
