In our show, we'll be using our trusty random Sense generator to bring you a fully improvised show in three acts. This week's theme deception. Sometimes it's impossible to differentiate between who is telling the truth and who is telling a dirty, filthy lie? Stay with us. Act one. They looked up at the sky and saw a million stars. Look you said that one? Good? That one? Yeah? What's its name? What's your name? Monica? You didn't know that? No? No, no, that's a clue. What's your name? Got it? Monica? Is the star? Bryan named it after you? That is so? Yeah, that's right. It only cost me. I shouldn't tell you. It's kind of tacky. Only cost me a twenty bad thousand dollars. Why is that's the way? Too much? I mean I love it, but that's the way. Do you want money? That's that's the going rate for No, there's no way that's true. No, No, it's in sky. I mean it's it's a part of nature. You trying to say to you? Overmade? Yeah, that can't be right. I trusted the guy. He told me this. He wrote on a piece of paper, you own this star. Okay, let me see the piece of paper. Okay, No, this is a map in first of all this and he said it's made of paper and McDonald's snaphan and it says you, Brian, are the proud owner of a star that Okay, he spelled Brian wrong. Keep a brain. It's not even your name. Look, that's not the important part. The important part is that the star is named after you, and I paid top dollar for it. You know, hold on, you know what I gotta call it? Can you? Can you just look at your star for a minute, your expensive star? Yeah? Okay? Hello? Yeah, Hi? Is this uh Walt Starvington? Yeah? So? Um Brian, Hey Brian, how you doing, Brian? Brian? Be strong? Okay, he so listen to me. You you sold me a star, and I can't help but think that you might have gouged me on the price. Here. No, no, you break your breaking up? Okay, he lost the connection. That's not what happened. You heard it. As a speaker, he could cut out. He made a noise like the phone was cutting out, and then he hung off on Monica. Look, I love you. I love you enough to name a star after you and spend every bit of money that I have, plus take out alone for the breast of it that I couldn't what. I love you very much. Trust is a fundamental element of life. You gotta trust people, right, I mean, you just gotta trust them. Okay, let's just finish our champagne. By the way, there's a bottle of champagne that you're looking at right here. I bought it from a guy sitting outside. I knew it tasted where is. Bought it from a guy who said that he was born on top of a hay bale at a winery and grew up on a winery. And he handed me this bottle of champagne, and he told me it was very, very good champagne. Did you pay for it? Then mowed him several separate times, because there's a limit how many times how much money you can venmo a person. Yes, let's just say we won't be going on vacation anytime soon unless it's to the time share that I that I just what your birthday only comes once a year, Brian, I bought. I bought a time share from a guy I knew, a guy. He handed me these keys that he said he just had made to a time share. So we can't even go to the time share, is what I'm gathering. Well, I don't know. I haven't been by that yet. I've never actually seen it. Where is the time share supposed to be located? I took a picture of him when he was spinning a globe and then poked his figure on the globe and he said, it's right here, sir, I took a picture of it. Let me go through my phone real quick and see if I could find a picture. Oh, it's here, it's here in Detroit, Brian, check it out. Thank you might be a little bit unless dumb means kind, because I'm kind enough to buy you a star, I buy you a time share, I buy you a half drank bottle of champagne or half un drank. It sounds like you spent roughly two hundred thousand dollars on my birthday this year, and I didn't ask for that. It's not even a memorable birthday. Really, you're going to forget this day. I don't think you'll ever forgo. I just mean it's eight. Who cares about you? And I both know is a very important number to me because that was the age of the guy who needs a kidney, and I promised to him that I would give him my kidney, and I signed a document and said that I would give him his kid And that's how old he is, and that's how I guess. This is just a long way of me trying to tell you that I promised my kidney. Oh my god, we need to probably speed this up a little bit because the duck is scheduled to grubbing in a four hours. Brian. This is all very nice, but I just I can't be with someone like you. Sadly, Monica and Brian ended up hiding ways. I'll drop you off at the hospital. It sounds like you have to go right, and we we took my car the hospital. No no, no, no. The surgery isn't at the hospital. The surgery is that a Is that a casino? Oh? Yeah, yeah, Brian, I can't believe I didn't see the signs earlier and wake up with your way earlier. You realized that she should have noticed the signs on their first date together, Brian, Monica, I recognized you. You have the yellow heat on you and you have the red road. Yes, I do, well, I did have. I did have. I did have a dozen of them. But I kept going around to every woman and said, should I give you the throws? And they said yeah, sure, so eleven other women here generous. Oh you know, I just I just trust people whenever they whenever they tell me that they want something. I just there's something about it that seems like it could be a red flag and I'm going to ignore it. No, it's a rose, it's a red yeah. Oh yeah cool. So should we get tapas high folks? Um? Can I get you started with something to drink? Um? Yeah? What what? What will you have? Oh? I guess I'll do a singry that sounds good. Um? Could you also buy me as Angria? Money's a little tight right now because I totally I've got this. I've I've got to paint drop. Oh yeah, so I used to too, but oh was that recent? Yeah? It's it's like just your basic run of the mill downsizing where boss calls you to the office and he says, uh, we're letting you go because you stole a palate of printers, you know, downsize that kind thing that happened. That could be a red flag, but I'm gonna ignoring. I'm gonna ignore him. I found some footage of the incident in question. Bryant my office right now. Yeah, you want to explain to eat by your van is filled with epsom printers. Yeah, Sheila told me that the company was doing a printer sweep steaks printers, sweepast the sweepstakes, yea, and everybody gets at everybody pallet printers. Both of you should be ashamed of yourself. What Brian, you're fired for stealing a pallet of printers. You're your numbers, your number of last quarter. You're you're fine, but but but really, can we can we stop trying to convince the gullibol to steal stupid? It was really yeah, it'll last time. Okay, no more, probably, Okay, thank you. I think across your other friends. On the other hand, got me take your shoes off. Okay, Really that's a serious You already ruined Brian's life. I know he's stupid, but still you can't go around convincing the stupid people that work here to steal. It's not I mean, it might be fun for you, but it's not fun for that. But it's not fun. Three right, all right, I'm gonna let you get back to work, I promise days later. Yes I can't, but I did it again. They did it again, didn't that? Yeah, I'm looking at the security. Don't give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you. You literally came in here and did the exact same thing that I asked you not to do. That's the reason. Because you want the job. Job, You're gonna have to give me a better reason. Please, I can't say a little scamp. All right, really this is the last. If it happens again, the authorities might be called. They might all right, okay here moments later, Yeah, why did Okay? Okay, you know what. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go out there and I want you to promise me you're going to keep convincing people to steal things. That's what I want. Okay, So you would go out there, you do do a real bad job out there. You convince everyone to steal things. Okay, it's not any fun. I was holding that. I was holding that you would go back into the into the warehouse and you would not convince everyone there's steal things, and then I wouldn't have to talk to you again about that. Yeah, I didn't understand. There was a little convoluted like from brain to mouth. I could tell that you and the listener we're going to hard. I wounderstanding what I was doing. I've gotten there, ye, jailer, is that my watching goddam coming up back? To the first word from our esteemed sponsors, stay with us to interview. That's welcome this week's guest contributor to Katie Marovich. Katie, welcome, Hi, thanks for having me, Thanks for being here. So how long have you been listening to the show? Um? About a day? Try again? How long? Longer? Long? Yeah? Since the beginning? Right, Oh, I've been listening since episode one. So you're a die hard I'm a die hard fan. Do you remember what happened in that first episode? Yeah? I remember the theme was trust in episode one? And um, what was your favorite scene from that episode? I'm curious, probably the second scene. What happened to that? Um? Sorry somebody was Yeah, I was like a brief moment and but no, I definitely we actually we actually have that scene in the archives. Can I would love to hear it and just kind of remind myself what let's hear that these ah, excuse me, excuse becuse me. I'm the one's coughing and not, like you know what, agree to disagree. I'm the one who's coughing more. Okay, I would say that you're coughing a little bit louder than I'm coughing. But that doesn't mean that I'm not coughing. The scale of one to ten, one being me being the one who's being the coffing coughing man, and then ten being me mostly a bunch of coughing, I'd probably say I'm a ten, I'm a t No, no, I'd say you're like a negative negative, Okay, I've of coughing. Well, okay, look, this isn't a competition, but if it was, I would be victorious and I would be hoisting the trophy over my head that is filled with coughs. Okay, anyway, so what was that I still had a little bit of cough did you? Yeah? Actually I still had a little bit of calls really, because your eyes weren't really squinty like one does you were pretending No, no, no, no, look listen, look, listen, look yeah, look say it. I didn't come here to be questioned about my dedication to the craft of coughing. All right, interesting, now, look both adults here. I think it would be best if we just moved on accepted the fact the reality that I was the one who coughed the most and the best. And first, Yeah, that was a really good I loved that episode. Really good? Was I the guess it sounded like me right? You know what? I think it might have been. I think it might have been. Yeah, that's so funny. That makes sense why you would have listened since day one, because you obviously listened to my episode. Yeah, like like a quarterback watching the game film, you would have gone back first studied it to see. I've been in a couple episodes though, have you? Yeah? What what other? That one about um about outer space? The outer space episode Space Extravagance, so that we have a Space Extravagance. Yeah, I think that was years ago. That was more than years I was about a decade ago. That mistaken producer Andy had the episode in the archives he usually does, So let's play it. Space is beautiful. It's very fast. We've got first space, beautiful space. I'm so sorry what I thought it was off book of book. I'm not. You're not awful Space Extravaganza. This is a musical. You knew that. I'm real sorry, you're throwing me off. I'm really sorry. Can we go back to one? You know? I don't know? No, come on, you can trust me. I'm not going to let you down like I did at the NASA. Yeah, when we made when we pitched, we pitched the musical to musical to NASA. I'm not going to do it, okay, okay, okay, okay, but you better go to write this space. It is beautiful, space, beautiful, and it's it's beauty and it's in its plan. It's in the space. It's No. I didn't forget you're making us look like no, no, no, no, no, no no. I was so I got choked up because a song that we've been working on for weeks, it's really it's just such a beautiful song you wrote about space. Yeah, it is beautiful and I did write it, and you're ruining it. That was an intense episode and that scene. Yeah, that's what one us the Webby Webby Award. I can't believe we got a Webby I know they give it Webbies for podcasts, right, yeah, because we got one so well, I mean we of course I'm a part of that. I think we were the lifetime achievement. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So Katie, tell us about yourself. What do you do. I'm a comedian and writer actor, very unique out here and not a lot of people doing that in Los Angeles. But yeah, and I've been out here for about eight years, nine years doing that and you moved here from Chicago, so sad of Chicago? Really? Yeah? But do you decide to pack up and move to Los Angeles? Well, I knew that I wanted to be a writer. I thought I was going to be a journalist and kind of fell into comedy. I was lucky because as a child, my parents would bring me to like Second City. I oh, and I was like really seeing some great groups early on, like Kokani Social Clubs improvised Shakespeare, like some of the best improvisers, and that definitely had a big impact. And yeah, so I just I honestly like used comedy as a little kid to avoid getting made fun of, like a defense mechanism, and it worked out. You know, we actually have in the archives, we have you going to that first improv show at Second City when you were a child. That's why did you know that we have that? That's so we're you have that you would have Alright, Gaty for your seventh birthday party, we're taking you do improv sho. Now, look, hopefully this is gonna be appropriate for little child years. I'm so excited. Hope you will be Yeah. Now, let me explain to you how this works. Okay, you go in, they ask you for a for a word or a phrase. Sometimes they ask for a location that can fit inside this room that is contrived and the UM I don't like that. I'm not a fan of that because it's basically like you're you're building the scene for him. Yeah, so they asked for a word, You'll yell out a word, okay, everybody where where, laffy taffy. Can we get a one word suggestion? Please? Dad? I got to give the word Dad. I gave the words could we We usually don't do this, but if we could, uh, we could get a different suggestion please? Hello christ And I gave the word again. You know, I'm gonna ask for an unprecedented third suggestion if we could just uh dick and towards freaking. It was a very special moment. That was a good memory. It was nice to hear your formative years. What was your first job out here in l A. I was an intern at College Humor. Well, like I said, I just wanted to be a writer. But then someone mentioned, like, you have to do improv classes. So I started taking improv classes at the UCV as you do. And UM, I don't know. I really fell in love with performing and so um, I think they kind of noticed those a little weird little funny at college humor, and they started letting me sit in on the writer's room and um, I get to like act and write and eventually became a like a full time cast member writer. So I did that for a long time. We actually have you sitting in on the writer's meetings when they let you come in and and sit in. Wow. Um, so let's let's hear that that's a new as well. Alright, everybody, we'd like to, uh, can we get a nice warm welcome for uh, for Katie, she's uh, you here and she is going to uh she's she's you know, sorry doing it doing a show.

I mean, just trust me, this is this, This sketch is gonna go over. Really, Katie. I'm gonna let you pitch one more time, okay, And depending on how this next pitch goes, maybe I'll let you pitch the third time.

Okay, it just seems like you're having but you're but but if I'm talking about you, you're included in the in the conversation that I want you to be here, because I don't think it's right to talk about somebody behind someone's pony.

But you're supposed to scrub in for our sergeant job tomorrow morning, right, I know, And I'm going to skip that surgeon's job. Excuse me? Who else is going to do the surgeon's job if you don't do the surgeon job tomorrow. There's a twenty eight year old who is expecting canney transplant tomorrow. Are you You're just I'm just supposed to tell well, it's not really a children. How do you know what his intellect? That's a very good point. That's your point.
