Name Origin:
Blake Sennett explained that he had a dream in which he was being chased by a sports almanac:
"when it got me, I leafed through it...and I came upon an Australian rules football player from the 19th
century named Rilo Kiley. It's kind of embarrassing."
"I wrote it down on a blotter, an office desk when I woke up, and, I don't know, I came back to it
when we were trying to think of a name and we thought we'd use that for one show then change it, 'cause who'd want that name? Who can remember that anyway?"
