Plot[]
At around 12m:30s into the episode, Scott hears a noise and Harry Houdini suddenly appears at one of the studio's microphones in a straitjacket and bound up in chains. He makes Scott check the chains and then performs an escape. Scott tries to explain that it is the year 2010, but Houdini doesn't believe him because he is "the world's premier debunker." He asks Scott to punch him in the stomach as part of his campaign to prove that he is the toughest motherfucker around.
Colonel Tick-Tock then appears through a time hole to retrieve Houdini and return him to 1926. He shows Houdini something to prove to him that he is in the future, but refuses to show it to Scott. Scott then mentions that Houdini died from being punched in the stomach, and Tick-Tock explains that if Scott were to punch Houdini and kill him in 2010 all of the intervening years would be destroyed by the paradox. Houdini figures out that Tick-Tock wants to return him to the year he dies, and so he throws a smoke-bomb and disappears. Colonel Tick-Tock follows him, but not before singing the entire theme song to The Cross-Time Adventures of Colonel Tick-Tock.
After Scott explains that these characters came from the Thrilling Adventure Hour, he also plays a track of Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster singing Here's to Us.
