The Rubber Chicken Podcast: Episode 207: Mister Podcast’s Neighborhood
As ancient terrors from the deep infiltrate sleepy suburbia, Stephen Hawking and Satan debate Bewitched casting. Hardcore Holmes makes the ultimate edgy sacrifice, the inventor of the Time Phone wages an awkward war against himself, and legendary impaler Vlad Tepes takes on his biggest enemy yet: Zoning Bylaws.
Meanwhile, in the writers’ room, the creators of a sketch-comedy podcast embark on a sprawling metafictional odyssey equal parts hilarious, confusing and TERRIFYINGLY APOCALYPTIC.
Big Explosions! Brain-Sucking Monsters! Car Chases! Wailing Guitars! Taxidermy! Awkward, Potentially Homoerotic Domestic Situations! A Ham Sandwich! All this and oh-so-much more in this massive, charmingly convoluted labour of love, two comically on-and-off years in the making.

Would appreciate audio snippet of “A Ham Sandwich” for personal, private, possibly non-fetishistic usage.

Bon appetit. (You were going to get one anyway, for being our friend.)
I still can’t wrap my head around this being a tangible, existent thing. Seeing that it was scripted in 2008 and recorded in 2009, I have no delusions of finishing this for anything other than personal closure, but damn, this is a powerful feeling. Hopefully we can ride it all the way to a fast-tracked finale.
To quote Andrey: “One more, and we can officially start up a new ridiculous, decade-spanning side-project.”

Oh god, how I’ve missed you guys.
Seeing a new episode up really made my day, you’re all as brilliant as ever.

Thanks, Miss Frank. Given the considerable weirdness of this episode, it’s genuinely flattering to know it appealed to people who didn’t personally work on it. Thanks for sticking around!
