The Amateur Sleuthing Hour - Notes
This one is mainly improv with some scripted stuff to break up the calls. Just riffing with friends over the internets. Thanks friends.
We basically gave our funny friends a one or two sentence prompt. Hey, here's a mystery. Your therapist is bigfoot. A hotel ghost keeps writing lewd messages on the lobby mirror. A time traveler is your grandson and is trying to f*** your wife.
We wrote a lot of potential mysteries we didn't get to record. My favorite? Oh, thanks for asking. Definitely Where is Mother's Christmas Sweater?
Edsel Romero is a real life actor, so we used him to read something some idiot wrote. We actually recorded The Priest and His Shadow in a very loud bar on the downlow. That was fun
Not exactly sure how the Metamucil as our sponsor joke came about but I'm fairly certain it's because growing up, one of our dad's espoused the virtures of reguarly taking Metamucil.
We only re-recorded a few lines from Andy and Fran for continuity reasons. The calls weren't recorded in the order they appear in the podcast. The magic of editing! Does anyone give a hoot about any of this? Whatever, we hope you enjoy our weird art. Making this website took an obscene amount of time. We did it all with regular old HTML like idiots.
