"...and beef, United States-wise..." That totally made my day. It had been too long since we had some good ol' fashioned riddles, so that made my day even more.

I started listening on my bus ride home, and had to pause for a minute during the baby/nipple/penis discussion to keep from completely losing it. Fantastic episode.

Loved this episode. Phillips is always great and this was no exception. Great voice imitation, funny material. Kindler's energy is a bit much at times but I liked him a lot here, and he and Scott were great together. Also, glad to hear the return of Who Said It? (That's a statement, not a question.) Between that theme song and the road trip episode of Louie, "Who Are You?" is now the most unintentionally funny song in rock history. ALSO, KULAP ON BOB'S BURGERS?!

Why was a lemon trying to teach the marbles champion a life lesson?

I genuinely love David's overuse of the "-wise" suffix and try to use it in everyday conversation. "...even Titanic-wise or Atlantis-wise..."

As most of you probably saw, Scott tweeted today that Adomian and Heidecker will indeed be on the east coast shows. Looking at the whirlwind schedule they've booked, is anybody else concerned that it's going to be really tough to keep up the energy level and/or spontaneity on the later shows?

Yeah, Ben was great as usual, and I thought it was a fun episode. All the holes that everyone has poked in the Clifton thing might be accurate, but that didn't make the stories any less interesting. I always thought that he was intentionally hacky, too, but I still get a chuckle out of most of those jokes. Overall, a nice change-of-pace episode. I just wish the Scottabot hadn't been so lax with the WYR rules.

Favorite barely-acknowledged throw-away line of the week: "Lao don't crack."

I don't really care WHY it happened, but it is sort of fascinating to think that this was going on within the lifetime of the show. I almost want to go back and listen to old episodes to see if the rift is more evident than I noticed at the time (but won't, because there are dozens of hours of great new podcasts released every week).

Is there any way to find out which specific guests will be on which shows? The individual ticket pages I went to all seemed to list Adomian and Heidecker (or no one at all), but then Scott mentioned PFT on this week's podcast. Basically, I don't live particularly close to any of the cities, but might be willing to travel to one of the closer ones, so that sort of info would be nice to know in advance.

Really fun episode. I was a little curious about what the reaction would be like from people who weren't familiar with Burning Love, so I'm glad to hear that people seemed to like it either way. Great character work all around and Steve played off them well. The monkey heart discussion was killing me.

I actually felt slightly bad for Wie-Wie when nobody knew what superfecundation meant. Great episode, loved the mix of meaningful on-topic discussion and grade-A riffing.

Despite the guests' brazen ignorance of (goats?) protocol regarding the timing of plugs and voting in WYR, I liked the episode a lot. If Andy wants to become Comedian of Hollywood, he should get in touch with Chip Gardner and propose a joint ticket.
