Our annual Mabel Memorial Hobo Madness Tournament is back. This year’s tournament pits characters from 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Better Call Saul, Community, Frasier, Girls, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Recreation against each other to see who would survive the longest during a global pandemic.
Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are once again joined by Molly Regan, Marty McGuire, Andy McIntyre and Julia Periwinkle. Niles Crane takes on John Lutz in our final showdown. But there’s one last twist that will change everything.

For the Final Four round, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are once again joined by Marty McGuire, Andy McIntyre and Julia Periwinkle. We’re down to the Final Four – Niles Crane takes on Mike Ehrmantraut and John Lutz takes on Ron Swanson. But there’s a monkey thrown into the wrench that may tip the scales.
COVID-19 has disrupted all of our lives. Movies have been delayed. Toilet paper can’t be found. And all major sporting events have been cancelled. But not even the Coronoavirus can stop our annual Mabel Memorial Hobo Madness Tournament.
This year, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by Molly Regan, Marty McGuire, Andy McIntyre and, for the first time ever, Julia Periwinkle (Lars’ wife). This year’s tournament pits characters from 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Better Call Saul, Community, Frasier, Girls, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Recreation against each other to see who would survive the longest during a global pandemic.
This week, they decide the Elite 8 round of the tournament (and get to the bottom of whether or not chips and cheese dip count as nachos).
The tragedy of Better Call Saul is that we know going in that our protagonist’s fate is sealed. As much as we may empathize with and root for Jimmy McGill, we know that he is destined to end up being the Saul Goodman we watched in Breaking Bad (and eventually, the Gene Takavic we see glimpses of in Better Call Saul).
But perhaps, if things had gone a different way, Jimmy could have turned out like Bill Oakley, the trans fat loving, “petty with a prior” spouting deputy district attorney that serves as a foil for McGill on BCS.
We explore this alternate universe Jimmy with Peter Diseth, the actor who plays Oakley. We also discuss how he landed the role (which included an awkward bathroom encounter with Bob Odenkirk), what it’s like being a day player on TV shows and how hard it is to eat food take after take in a scene.
