Here's a completely sincere, and inexplicably detailed, review of three British chocolates. I find reviews of widely accessible, completely affordable products like this hilariously redundant in general, but there's something about this one in particular - the length of it, the formal clothing, the vaguely Victorian atmosphere of tedious repression, the earnest seriousness - which makes me oddly giddy. There isn't exactly a 'highlight' to point you toward, but I suppose either the last two minutes would be best. There's some spurious speculation about the chocolates being season-specific (they aren't), and then their cat comes in - the big twist: this passive-aggressive review duo are actually living together as a couple.

Holy shit, 'Carson Gruber' is too perfect of a name for that kid.

Come on, Eileen.

I just got round to seeing the Jenna Fischer episode. Best one yet. Oh, I still have time to play before it gets dark outside!

EEEEHH HEEEEE!

. I made the mistake of listening to this in public. Walked around grinning like an idiot and occasionally barking with laughter. MIJMBFM, this episode is probably an early contender for episode of the year.

B'ono you didn't!

'Scott'.

I have a feeling this has been posted before, because it's such a classic, but maybe not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdrh2mr56Xo&feature=youtu.be

Fuck you, Josh.

Starlet catchphrases.

This is the first time I've attempted to produce anything since I was thrown out of painting school for suggesting that Microsoft Paint, a laptop trackpad, and reductive caricatures were the apex of fine art. I forgot how freeing it feels to be a (co-)creator. (Yes, Scott's teeth are tiny Bonos).

B-O-N-O-B-O-S DOT COM!

I can't even deal with how good this episode was. Best podcast ever. Best podcast network ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH, EARWOLF!

Ha! I was just about to ask the same thing.

Scottish guy hates spiders. Muttley laughs along. Action starts around 0:50.

That was honestly the funniest thing I've heard all year. I spat cereal everywhere.

Fuck you, Greggy.

It might be a bit long, but I'd have all of the Mouth, Nondescript, Anushole, and Vagina section of episode 113 (from 35:11 onward). However much you cut, please make sure "who other better to know?" (44:30) ends up in there. It might be my favourite line from anything, ever.

Hoping for a Juan Hammon episode to celebrate the new series of Mad Men. In an ideal world, Rich Sommer would come back too. Harry's World: Mad Men is still one of my favourite CBBs of all time.

"... And the payments on that can be outrageous."

Wow, I just tried this too and it really does sound much better. Adam Ant in all his glory.

I was walking down the street when the puking noises started. I had to bend over and pretend to tie my shoe for a long time.
