The Booking

The Booking is the 2nd episode in the series.

Plot
Matt tells Jay his new plan: contact NOW Magazine pretending to be Rivoli staff and get Nirvanna the Band listed as playing a show there. When Matt prepares to call them from his phone, Jay points out that the caller ID will prove that they are not the Rivoli. The two go to the Rivoli, Matt in disguise, which is really just him wearing sunglasses and stuffing his shirt to make himself look rounder. Matt gets a table out front and distracts the staff with a long order, while Jay sneaks in, steals a phone, and sits down at the table next to Matt. When he calls NOW Magazine, Matt confuses the waiter by trying to order and give Jay instructions at the same time. Matt quickly flees the scene with Jay in tow, who forgets to return the phone.

The two wait several hours for NOW Magazine to be delivered, only to find that they have mistaken them for the band Nirvana. Matt accidentally comes up with the idea to call the Rivoli from NOW Magazine's phones and correct the mistake. The next day, Matt disguises himself as a phone company worker and infiltrates NOW Magazine's offices, passing himself off as doing a line test. When he calls the Rivoli, Jay, who is staking out the venue to make sure the plan works, realizes he still has the phone. As he runs across the street to give a staff member the phone, he drops it and it breaks.

Matt returns home exuberant, having mistook Jay's voice for a Rivoli staff member. Worried that Matt will be upset when he finds out it failed, Jay plays along, and Matt drags him to the Rivoli to play a show. When they are turned away at the door, Jay is forced to tell Matt the truth, leaving him despondent. A passerby notices Matt's upset and Matt fills him in on the events of the day when asked. Mistaking them for a Nirvana cover band, he tells Matt that the band is "in," which Matt interprets as an invitation to play, leaving him happy again.

Matt plays a round of Mario Kart 64 while Jay scores it by playing the game's music on piano. As Matt deliberately makes mistakes in the race to let the NPCs catch up, he muses that the mistake they made in their plan was that no one reads print media. Jay notes that there is an upcoming Santa Claus parade while he reads the newspaper, while Matt narrowly wins the race and victoriously curses out Donkey Kong.
