Dan was kidnapped and we didn't pay the ransom, so Brea Grant (Real Housewives of Horror, Mystic Party podcast) stepped in to guest host with Razzle.

Dan went missing this week, so rather than send out a search party, Razzle recruited Zane Grant (Mystic Party Podcast) to fill in as guest host. It's a good thing he did because today's guest, actor/director Jay Duplass (HBO's Togetherness, Jeff Who Lives at Home, Amazon's Transparent), has a strict 2 host or more minimum. In today's episode, they guys talk about how O.J. Simpson almost played the Terminator, why you can't find any pepperoni in Italy, why Volkswagen might be the secret Illuminati of luxury cars, and much more.

It's our fiftieth episode, so we're asking the tough questions. Namely, what the hell constitutes a smorgasbord? How many aircraft carriers are there in the world? What black spreadable paste drives Australians crazy? Comedian Dave Waite (Hotdoggin', Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Last Comic Standing) joins the guys in studio to get to the bottom of these burning questions and much more.
Who is James Bond named for? What in the world is snipe hunting? Where did the Magic 8-Ball come from? Reply hazy, try again later. In the meantime, Razzle sits down with Brickleberry creators Roger Black and Waco O'Guin at San Diego Comic-Con to search for the answers to all of these and more.
