The Fox Theater in Oakland, May 23, 2016. Scott Aukerman is three weeks into a 28-show tour with Paul F. Tompkins and Lauren Lapkus, and they have run out of things to say to each other in the car. They are now just listening to the Fun Home soundtrack on repeat. The audience is the largest they have played in front of, and Scott acknowledges that some people in the room have no idea what a live podcast recording is. Then he introduces his nephew, Todd.
The Nephew and the Director
Todd, played by Lauren Lapkus, is a middle-school-aged boy who has been left in Scott's care by a sister who is never coming back. He sleeps in a suitcase with a head hole cut in it, wears his uncle's old underwear with holes exploded through the butt from excessive bean consumption, and has a quote book that opens with "I want it now. Give it to me. Colon sex now." He has never been allowed outside except on tour, where he rides in the suitcase with a hood over his head. He forgives Scott for a long list of abuses, including putting My Little Pony porn in his pillow, sticking cutips in both ears and pushing until he couldn't hear, and using a melon baller where Scott usually keeps his glasses. Scott spanks him preemptively because he knows Todd is going to be bad.
