## **The Story**

Daniel and Rufus are training in their new location, an abandoned warehouse at the edge of town. Training isn't going well because Daniel isn't listening to Rufus. Abby drops in after closing up Kravitz Antiques at 6PM to check on them, and is amused by the tension. Rufus is less so, considering quitting because he feels he is feeling to adequately prepare Daniel, and he sees signs of the Ultimate Evil all around town. Abby reassures Rufus no one can do better, and then berates Daniel after Rufus leaves.

They suddenly hear screams, and instead of calling Rufus as instructed, Daniel runs right to the source of the trouble, Abby following. Two five-year-old gernumblies, Peggy and Pootie Pugley, are strewing trash, kicking puppies, knocking over bikes (some with riders on them), and causing general mayhem. Daniel confronts the twins, who talk in sing-song, and they respond by playing a game of catch with Abby and Daniel as the balls. Abby, who had thought them cute, quickly loses her amusement.

Rufus arrives with a gem that stops the twins from singing and freezes them in place, to this dismay. Worse, Rufus has called their mother, a monster Rufus has history with, and who is not pleased that they snuck out without permission. Rufus recommends they depart before she arrives, given her unpleasantness.

Daniel asks Rufus why he didn't step in sooner, but Rufus says he was giving Daniel a chance to do the right thing. Daniel grumbles

and goes back to the antique shop. Rufus holds Abby back and confronts her about her feelings for Daniel, considering them a distraction that is holding Daniel back. While Abby denies having romantic interest, she bristles when Rufus tells her she needs to clearly shut down any possibility with Daniel, and instead is goaded into confessing her feelings after years of pining. She heads to the shop, Rufus on her heels.

However, Abby finds Daniel is already talking to a beautiful woman when she arrives, whom he is smitten with. The woman's name is Ragina, and she is Rufus' niece.

Written by Jerome Wetzel

Directed by Jerome Wetzel

Previous episode: "Get Out"

Next episode: "Children Will Not Listen"

## **The Story**

As the episode starts, Rufus attempts to train Daniel on the use of a bo staff in the backroom of Kravitz Antiques, which Daniel does not want to learn. The head of Grezit the Green, which Abby insisted on keeping on a shelf, berates them and laments the absence of his beloved mace, Mr. Smashy. Grezit is very upset to learn Daniel has burned his body. Abby soon joins them and admires the organization Rufus has brought to the storage area, the mentor rightly assuming that he would have to come to Daniel to train, rather than the other way around.

They are interrupted by a noise in the main shop, to which Grezit yells for help. Rufus goes to check it out, and Abby shames Daniel into accompanying him. Seeing a stray cat has gotten in, they think it a false alarm. However, they are soon attacked by an unseen foe. The invisible villain begins to taunt Daniel and reveals that his name is Fizzybibbit. Daniel swings wildly, unable to land a blow until he really concentrates and trusts his instincts.

In the meantime, Rufus and Abby find an entry on Fizzybibbit in a book and tell Daniel that he needs to taunt Fizzybibbit like a child would to be able to see him. This allows Daniel to more effectively and consistently attack. Losing his edge, Fizzybibbit agrees to leave, but vows to return, saying he will not be alone when he comes back.

Daniel is upset that dangerous monsters have come to the shop. Rufus admits they are attracted to Daniel's Chosen One energy, and the energy spikes when Daniel trains and fights. Daniel tells him to find another plan for them to work together so that Abby will not be in constant danger. Abby is touched, not having been sure that Daniel really cared about her.

## **Re-run**

A version of this episode was performed as the middle segment in IABD Classic 1. Ryan and Wendy were not available for this performance, so Keith Jackson substituted as Grezit the Green and Karen Perta played Abby Reynolds. At least one joke, what Daniel sarcastically said might be in the shop when they first heard a noise, was changed for this new version. Jerome served as Foley artist and did mostly sounds he made with his mouth and body.

## **Trivia**

* Grezit the Green was not in the original draft of this script, as episodes are typically written 3-4 months in advance. He was added in because it was quickly decided after the previous episode to make Grezit a lead in the segment.
* The computer the show's regular microphones fed into crashed mid-recording for this show. The released audio comes from a zoom mic set up under an audience chair to serve as backup.
* As revealed in the rerun intro, the theme song had not yet been written when this episode originally ran. It was edited into the podcast of the first several episodes after the fact.

IABD at The Nest

It was a sixty-minute hybrid show, and it was performed on Friday, August 2nd at 9:30PM as part of The Nest's The Pop-Up Show series. The complete show and rehearsal clips are available exclusively to Patreon donors.

Jake approaches Harry Styles, who works at the docks and knows everything that comes through the port. Harry is not happy to see Jake, on account of Jake slept with his wife (now ex-wife), Arlene, while proving she was cheating on him. Jake points out she was already cheating, and asks if Harry has seen a leopard come through. Harry allows that this would be the best place to get such a thing out of town, and although reluctant to help Jake, agrees to let the detective know if he hears anything - provided he doesn't have to see Jake again.

As Jake muses about having been on a break with Judy during his tryst with Arlene, he is hit over the head.

Jake awakes in a dark room with his hands tied behind his back. Calling out, he soon learns Frank Berry is present, and claims to have been similarly abducted. Frank manages to get free and unties Jake, as well. Feeling around, Frank finds a portal, which opens up to reveal they are on an ocean liner at sea, with no land in sight.

The Century Bar

Welcome to the Century Bar! One of the craziest pubs you can find at Community Corner. Hidden in a forgotten alley, many villains hide here and there is also much partying within the walls, and also many people that breach the drinking laws.

No character with an age less than 15 is not permitted to enter this bar.
Granny Gonzo

Granny Gonzo is a character in *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.*

Granny Gonzo is a (barely) middle-aged woman who used to be a porn star and now owns a bakery. In her first career, she is best known for being instrumental in the creator of gonzo-style videos. The toil of porn aged her very quickly, leaving her looking much older than she is. But it also made her very rich, giving her the freedom to be her own boss and run a store. She is friendly to the neighborhood children.

Granny, played by Katelyn Hamilton, originated in the *Pornstar Detectives* episode "And the Case of the Missing Youth," performed as part of Show III. In that same episode, Granny did a commercial segment to promote her bakery, in particular her "Twin Twinks" (her version of Twinkies). The commercial was released with the regular segment as podcast episode 9.

Katelyn reprised the role for a commercial segment in Show XVII, more than a year later. This time, she was selling special cookies she had created for the MadLab production of *The Star*. *The Star* was a real show, and *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* wanted to promote it to support their host site. It was released on the podcast as C9.

When Katelyn decided to leave the show to move across the country, one more commercial was written to bring the character back. This time, Granny appeared in a *Georgie's Jabs* commercial as the guest in Show XXVI. Unfortunately, Katelyn had car trouble and was unable to attend the performance. Kristin Green played her instead. It was released on the podcast as C52.

Granny Gonzo was revived and again played by Kristin Green in 2019. Her "Twin Twinks" commercial was part of IABD Classic 2. In IABD Roulette that May, a short focused on Granny as she dealt with the zombie apocalypse.

LWaVA* is their first live action television production, the studio being much more well-known as one of the top animation studios in the country. They hired Stephanie Dunlap to host, though she was let go after the first episode.

In the first episode of its reality show, Fact Broke invited Ben Callihan, Logan Cooper, and Jerry La Fontaine to audition against one another for the lead role in their next big film. The audition monologue finds a Whackadoo encouraging his people to push themselves so they won't lose against the Wingdongles again. He says "For generations" but we don't hear the end of the sentence.

While there, Logan plays Emily Cooper's audition tape for the casting producer, who decides to go with her instead of one of them. That producer is promptly fired, the film is cancelled, and a newly hired executive orders a television series starring Ben, Logan, and Jerry ("The Big Audition"). In the series, Jerry plays Bazzle, and Logan plays a character who says friends are nothing if not loyal, and they should always be there for one another. The eighteenth scene of an early episode directed by Laura Fennell finds the characters talking to Bazzle about friendship and that being there for one another makes a good friend ("Loyalty").

Amanda Iman

Amanda Iman was a troupe member of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* from its inception in July 2015 through the third anniversary in July 2018, and is the sister of former troupe member Addie Peelle. Amanda was also the script editor from early on through mid-2017, and assisted with event listings and social media.

Amanda is a graduate of Otterbein University, where she received a Bachelor's degree in English-Literary Studies with a minor in Music. She currently lives in the central Ohio area with her wonderfully supportive husband. She is a lover of all things pop culture, particularly movies, books, and the Oscars.

She used that love of film to host the third-ever podcast on It's All Been Done Presents, *The Oscars are My Super Bowl.* Originally produced by the network on a Presents feed along with *Dirty Story Night*, it was soon spun off onto its own feed. Because of copyright concerns, the podcast was renamed *Amanda's Picture Show A Go Go.* With the network, she also created a second podcast, *Pop Culture A Go Go,* which she owned and produced herself. In early 2017, Amanda bought *Pic Show* from IABD. Later that year, the *A Go Go* podcasts separated from the network for their own venture. She was also a regular contributor early on for *It's All Been Trekked Before.*

Her *Meet the Cast* was the fourteenth in the series, released as podcast episode 79.

After leaving the show, Amanda's voice from an earlier episode appeared in Show LIV, so she was credited as a guest star in that performance.

Dame Judy Bench enters, to Jake's surprise, and reveals that she is the one that lured Jake here to see if he still cared. He says there are easier ways to find out, but she wasn't sure he'd give a straight answer. Judy says her leopard is safe at home. She's impressed he came all the way across an ocean and a continent for her, and when he protests it wasn't by choice, she points out that he's still here. Jake admits he thought he still loved her, but is having doubts now, given her deception.

Jake asks for details about how Judy accomplished her scheme. She replies that Frank Berry helped her because she offered Frank a trip alongside Jake to see Cordelia again. Judy says Frank and Cordelia deserve one another and are already making up. She wants to do the same with Jake, and maybe even have a baby. Jake hesitates to take her back, but then relents.

Joahn arrives with Jake's drink and Jake kisses Judy.

IABDPR

*IABDPR* was a commercial segment in *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* in 2017. It was originally pitched by cast members (and real-life sisters) Amanda Iman and Addie Peelle, whose improv made up a large part of the first episode.

In the commercials, sisters Chai and Kamomile (call them Kam and Ch) interview a guest in the style of public radio. But they are merely making audition tapes, not actually having a show on the air. They tend to talk with much innuendo, and then react with shock and disgust if the guest responds in kind.

In the fourth episode, taking place quite a bit after the first three, sister Oolong joins Chai, who feels betrayed that Kam has found success without her.

### **Characters**

* Chai played by Amanda Iman. Chai is the older sister and more pretentious of the two. She takes lead.
* Kamomile played by Addie Peelle (#1-3). Kam is the younger sister who might realize what she's doing and is just acting offended.
* Oolong played by Wendy Parks (#4). Oolong is the 'other' sister who was originally left out. She wasnot happy about it.

## **Reruns**

"Rubbing Chicken" was rerun in IABD Classic 2 with Samantha Stark as Kamomile and Karen Perta as Chai. Ryan Yohe returned as Chef Jimmy in the first commercial.
