Maaa dip!

Reached for comment on Who Charted #105.5, actor/comedian Jason Mantzoukas offered the sober assessment, "This. Episode. Is. BANANAS."

It's hard to tell the difference; movies are just like tweets.

When Martin said "I'd Do A Lot of Things for Money, But I Don't Think That", he was actually referencing an obscure Meatloaf track.

It must be really stressful to record a podcast under Scott and Reggie's ever-watchful gaze...

This was great! I wish that Urbaniak would now conquer the rest of the Earwolfisphere — playing off Paul F. Tompkins as Andrew Lloyd Webber's perpetually overlooked brother Julian, for example — but I think he's on record as favoring scripted work over improv.

Sadly, no. That mangy ol' poodle kept interrupting her business call and caused the deal to fall through.

As long as Earwolf is expanding their selection of podcasts, here's my pitch for a new weekly show: Every week, host Kulap Vilaysack selects a new health or fitness challenge — from raw vegan diet to fasting, Bikram yoga to Krav Maga — and invites friends from the world of show business (including Casey Wilson, Janet Varney, Elizabeth Laime, and others) to accompany her on her journey. After one week, Kulap and her guest(s) recap their experience, evaluate its effectiveness, and track their overall health progress. Big names in comedy embark upon a new natural lifestyle in Kulap's Big Naturals.

Download URL is all kinds of broken, dear Earwolves.

Whether due to forum feedback or scheduling decisions on the Earwolf side, it looks like they're switching to a weekly show:

Every Adam Pally appearance is a master class on "No, But" improv. Magnificent!

After listening to the episode in its entirety, Tig responded: "Can we edit that out?"

SEE: http://www.supersklars.com, http://www.professorblastoff.com, et cetera Note that Elizabeth also tweeted the following:

Like the newly-elected president of the Battle Rap Society, I left the thread diss appointed.

Jeff, It sounds like Dave's kids are using iPhones and/or iPads, which means that he can take advantage of Apple's built-in parental controls to lock down potentially dangerous features. In the Settings app on each device, go to General→Restrictions, enable Restrictions, and specify a password. From there, you toggle various options (like the ability to install apps, access iTunes, whether explicit music/video content can be purchased or played, etc.) The kids won't be able to alter those settings without knowing Dave's password. Dave mentioned his son having jailbroken his iOS devices, which would in all likelihood allow him to circumvent the parental controls, but requiring unjailbroken devices could be a policy Dave and his wife set as a condition of having a phone at all.

The download URL for the show is currently broken on the site (and presumably in the app.) The correct URL is: http://traffic.libsyn.com/totallylaime/TLP_138_H_Alan_Scott.mp3

Thanks for the pointer! The interview in question can be found here.

Of course! I wouldn't dare miss an opportunity to see the World-Famous Scottabot in person, even if it does require sitting in the sweltering heat and cigarette haze of The (Fucking) Neptune Theater!

I'll never understand why they didn't have Chris Gore in the Hatch for the "Feminism" episode...

I'd wager Tig was going for "sustainable".

Howard posted it on Twitter.

When I have Todd Glass on my show, I have a good time!

Great episode! I'm very interested to hear why Elizabeth and Andy recorded a show with Seth McFarlane but have decided to mothball it...

Your understanding is incorrect. HSAs, in conjunction with High Deductible Health Plans, can be a good option for people who are generally healthy but want to be covered in the event of a catastrophic accident or illness. I'm pretty far from "rich", but I am single and self-employed and thankfully have few health issues. Obtaining individual coverage would therefore be prohibitively expensive and my premiums would evaporate into the æther every month. Having an HSA/HDHP allows me to: 1. Pay premiums that are 2-3x less than I would with traditional coverage. 2. Pay up to $3,100 into my HSA each year pre-tax, allowing me to reduce my overall tax burden by a small amount. 3. Roll over every penny in my HSA from year to year (unlike a Flexible Spending Account, where your money disappears if you don't spend it.) Yes, I pay out of pocket for incidental medical expenses but, as mentioned above, I am generally healthy. Should disaster occur, I am on the hook for the first $2,000, and everything after that is theoretically covered by my insurer. Theoretically. The maximum yearly contribution for a married couple is $6,250 (or $7,250 if they're over 55.) To the rich, the amount saved on taxes by taking $7,250 off the top is a laughably small fraction of their income. There are far more effective tax shelters for them to exploit.

I am loath to be That Guy, but please don't feel compelled to bring Kevin Smith onto the show. The Wild Wild West reference was a one-line tag to the end of a long, well-trodden story about Superman, and Paul already referenced it in this minisode. I don't think I could handle listening to Kevin Muttley laugh his (perpetually pot-addled) way through an entire HDTGM.
