Matt Walsh, Kevin Dorff, and Pamela Murphy cook up a buffet of scenes on today’s improv4humans! They cover everything from emergency rooms, highlander golfers, and the presidential debate. Plus, Eric the unpaid Intern returns for some Man On The Street Interviews from the USC game. Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

[Kevin Irmiter]

I can't get enough of Eric's Man on the Street Interviews. Every one of them has been hilarious.

[Bruce Reid Robinson II]

I just love that Eric can live in l.a. for more than a year and not know that the farmers market is less than a mile from his house. Aloof is an understatement.

As someone who used to work at a hospital, I can substantiate that there are, indeed, way more "strange object in ass" stories than you would think actually happen in real life. Plus, people are willing to yell their embarrassing excuses across a crowded ER if they think it will cut down on their wait time.

Also, Matt's observation that the drunk tailgater actually felt sorry for Eric the Unpaid Intern was hilarious!

Damn it.

Edit: I don't go on 4Chan, but I do lurk many internet forums. Mostly AI ones and this.

Please explain to an old man, what is 4Chan?

[Inthehallwaynow]

Ive never heard of that website just looked it up now...interesting..the description says 4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images

It's a super weird anonymous forum, that starts memes. I wouldn't recommend going, it's mostly gross pictures.

According to Know Your Meme, the phrase "rustled my jimmies," which Eric used in this episode, is an Internet meme that has been used on online discussion forums, most notably 4chan.

I'm not very prolific in Internet forums (other than Earwolf!), but my past experience as a newspaper reporter has provided me with the patience and tools (Google! Bing.com!) to research inane Internet references that I missed out on.

Also, I have to Google approx. 75% of what Eric says, both on the show, and in life.

Fun behind-the-scenes fact for Eric's fanbase: Eric's favorite website is Reddit. And maybe Pizza Hut Delivery Tracker.

Oh man, Matt Besser discovering 4chan. That makes me laugh.

Most of those hilarious internet memes on the internet originate at 4chan's /b/ board. Rickroll is one of the most famous examples.

However it's also full of a lot of strange porn. Very strange porn.

You seem really nervous about all this 4chan talk.

I was just kidding doesn't translate well

[Matt Besser]

What questions should Eric ask at the farmer's market?

[Brett Morris]

don't believe eric for a second. he is the internet. he's texted me before saying he's run out of 4chan and reddit and needs more.

[Bruce Reid Robinson II]

My friends are balls deep in the interwebs as well Brettster, and it's a deep/epic rabbit hole. Earwolf has a great forum with very few trolls, whereas 4chan is the bottom of the gutter for the internet. That's where the craziest shit on the web comes together. There's also as Sarel said, very strange "porn."

So basically I agree.

This has been a big week. First Paul answered my question on HDTGM?, then Matt was this close to saying the name of our podcast when they selected my video suggestion. I love where you went with it, funny show as always.

Question to ask at the farmer's market: Which is better, Walmart or Target?

[RIP Spirit Bear]

4chan provides a pretty valuable service, if you don't have the cash to get Japanese girls dressed as sports mascots to puke in each other's mouths in person.

[Colin Fraser]

I think Matt will eventually pull some strings to have Eric host an interview show on Earwolf in which Matt chooses all of the questions.

Farmer's Market Questions: Have you ever trespassed onto private property? What is your proudest achievement?

[sarel]

The line "my six month old committed suicide" elicited far more laughter then it should.

I also support Eric having an interview show. Look out Charlie Rose.
