## Resource

While Elliott is away this week constructing a life-sized butter sculpture of President Rutherford B Hayes, please enjoy a repeat performance of our Season 2 premiere episode, featuring the hilarious Max Silvestri and Gabe Liedman from the SmartLess Media show I Need You Guys! In this episode, Max and Gabe will be put through their paces with an opening game about the periodic table of the elements (meet us on row 5), and then they’ll get the rambling bug with a return of our game State Of Confusion! Puzzles in this episode are by Jason Reich and Brock Mahan. Script by Elliott Kalan. Music and sound effects by Devon Torrey Bryant. Buy Elliott’s book Joke Farming: How To Write Comedy And Other Nonsense HERE. Buy Devon’s album Blame It On My Zodiac HERE or stream it anywhere you listen to records.
