Enter stand up comic Kathe Farris who is also obsessed with murder investigations. Get a podcast you two! Rick evaluates Erica's love for 80's pop culture while Mike roasts Rick at every turn. Oh, and Mike subscribed to a monthly "Hunt a Killer" game. What's with all this murder talk? Rick! Get out of the house!

Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up! Leeann Bravo emerges from hiding and actually does a good job giving the show some suggestions. Bravo also does the news with minimal mistakes!

Mike controls the chaos per usual and tries to add substance to the conversation.

MTV's Brett Poirier enters the basement to pitch show ideas when stand-up comic (and Rick's neighbor), Kathe Farris walks over to deliver a local television show idea of her own.

Rick and Mike get their first sponsors and reveal how inexperienced they are at making advertising copy sound natural when reading it for the first time.
