The energy in the room was a little different than usual when we were recording this episode, which is to say, the energy was in three different rooms. But look, we are artists, and we know how to harness that energy. So welcome to Three Rooms - three thirds of a podcast episode, each with a different director. Table of Contents - Room 1: Ass Based Super Hero, Room 2: Lots of Jokes and Japes, Room 3: Dog Barks Everywhere.

An indisputable truth: adding more meat to a meal can only make it better. It has been proven with KFC's legendary dish, The Double Down. So if a double down is good, then a Triple Down must be even better - and we are tripling down on EVERYTHING.

Sometimes the classic techniques hold up the best. For example, we don't need all these fancy visual effects in modern movies - just put a spaceship on some fishing line for a much cheaper and just as effective result. So what do we do when we need to make towers topple and boys fly? Well if it was good enough for Hollywood it's good enough for us. Zach introduces the wildest Hotel Transylvania character, Jared wants to do a flubber, and Adam's greatest scam story is revealed.

This year, for National Dog Day, we're here to tell you that it's hard to train a dog. As proof we have a special guest on the episode - Zach's real life dog June, who runs amok the whole time. We three, however, are already quite well trained, so if one of us could become a dog... well then we'd have something cookin'. Zach attempts to wrangle a dog, Jared warns us about gun dogs, and Adam hopes to pass as a dog. Talking Points Include: Movie Pass Is Back, No More Winking, Wishbone Hefner, The Best Professional Dogs, Boston Dynamic Has Gone Too Far, Truth About The Dog Whisperer, A Man-Dog Of Our Nightmares

We can proudly say that for this one we have come up with a fully original plan - mostly because we doubt that anyone in history has ever tried to cross the paths of Pinhead and Johnny Knoxville. But hey, if it can prepare Jared to endure pain and win this game show then it's worth it! Pour one out for Bam's Dad though, he really didn't deserve to be put in the Hellraiser box.

Talking Points Include: Mr. Bundles' Sexual Resume, A New Deal For Christmas, The Orphan Rags to Riches Challenge, Drew Carey Pulls, The Guillermo Girls, Jackass X Hellraiser

An effective way to overcome your difficulties is to try to view things from another prospective. Sometimes those difficulties are a mother and daughter not seeing eye to eye. Sometimes they are trying to win a mediocre game show. Either way, a Freaky Friday situation is certainly in order. And it looks like we are swapping... Ed O'neill and Scrappy Doo? I must be reading that wrong, right? Right?!?! Zach reveals his tongue condition, Jared breaks new culinary ground, and Adam recounts the entire story of Rumpelstiltskin.

Picture this: 15 foot 2000 pound great white shark. It's 10 feet in the air. It's quite frightened. Who's that in the water underneath it? Henry Winkler of course. Henry is wearing his leather jacket and as he locks eyes with the shark, he shoots us some finger guns. Hot damn! I mean, if we can get us a photo of something like that we would surely win this Shark Week documentary program that isn't at all a game show. Zach thinks Larry Bird has been in a cave, Jared wants less realism in his shark photos, and Adam hates reenactments. Talking Points Include: A Special Guest Star, The Worst Things We've Ever Eaten, Our Personal Shark Spectrums, Two Cool Shark Names, Pokemon Snap Asthetic Rules, Shark Photographs You, The Ayyy Jaws Photo

Here is what we know about demons from media. For one thing they aren't too keen on the power of religion. Also, naturally, rock types are weak to water types. Given this logic, is our plan going to involve getting right with God and convincing the water demon fight the stone demons? Of course it is! Step aside Dan Brown, we've already got this code cracked wide open. Zach insists he never got lifesaving merit badge, Jared wants to stay in the Raven for too long, and Adam has some big ideas on the symbolism of mice in childrens' literature.

Christopher Booker really thought he was being slick when he said there are only 7 basic plots - but after some thoughtful research I think we've beat him by 4. When it comes to internet videos, there are only three plots as far as we're concerned: guy gets hit in nuts, animal does something cool, and redneck has nice life. Dont @ us, we've done our homework. Zach gets confused by the Elvis movie, Jared has three specific questions before he goes to a concert, and Adam would be bummed to meet Slimer in heaven.

Individuals have a handful of basic needs in order to survive. Krang has food, water, and clothing. He has safety and security with his gang of villains. He certainly has self actualization and his esteem is through the roof. However, we three cupids think Krang could use some help in the love and belonging category - and we have just the match. Zach wants to try a Cam Jansen approach, Jared guesses at Bebop and Rocksteadys' relationship status, and Adam can't tell who is or isn't a robot.

But with all this experience and knowledge, can we look back and improve a few of our weaker plans? Probably not, but we are sure gonna try!

Is this man actually a mean and evil person, or is he just a recluse? Could someone actually shoot a rabid dog from this distance? Can a ham costume truly stop a knife? We're asking these questions and more on our quest to bust some classic literary myths. You may be surprised to find that things aren't always as they seem.

There is no denying that small towns have a certain charm. The quaint environment they provide is something you just can't get in bigger cities. But know this, every single one also has something weird going on. It might be troll themed. It might have a hyperfixation on a sitcom from the 60s. It might name itself after American tragedies and host an oyster festival despite not being costal. Ok, we made that last one up, but you get the point. Zach brings sherry, Jared gets roasted by his hometown, and Adam truly misunderstands Alf. Talking Points Include: Frasier Vibes, Spin Off Combos, Spooky Re-Edits, Bug Pranks, Not Our Hometown, Mayberry Fest, Making a Weird Town, The Landlocked Oyster Festival, Wolf Flu, Cold Hard Cash

Let's just get this out of the way right at the top here, this episode is a little *blue.* But what would you expect when we have to talk about a show about strip poker from the late 90's?

You may love it. You may hate it. Either way, we can all agree that dodgeball played an important roll in creating some formative memories from our younger years. But how much should change when it becomes a pro sport? Is it worthy of being a sport, or is it just a gym class time killer? Should Fran Drescher be the next Joker? These questions and more are not answered, but hotly debated in this episode! Zach doesn't want very many dodgeballs, Jared wants so many dodgeballs, and Adam gets actaully exasperated.
