Been listening a long time, heard most episodes at least twice, huge fan -- this is actually top five I4H episode ever material. Relentless. Definitely too hilarious to be listening to in public.

Great episode. I really like the narrative experiments. The "These Fat Crackers" trilogy include some of my favorite moments in I4H history, and are three episodes I've listened to maybe a dozen times each. Christmas specials were great as well. I think it's because Besser is very good at grounding a scene and making a narrative that is funny and lends itself to really funny moments. The best scenes in any episode are always the ones where Besser is more active in choosing the direction the scene is going, which he is forced to do more of in the episodes where the characters are the same throughout.
Â
I think it goes a little unnoticed -- a huge part of the reason why I4H improv scenes are the best isn't just the talented guests, but Besser being able to give them a setting and direction that lays the foundation for the best bits. He's better at this than any other podcast host I've heard.
Â
Really looking forward to the next two parts, and really looking forward to more stuff like this in the future. Don't comment a lot, but I4H is the best goddamn podcast in the universe and it's because of stuff like this. Keep experimenting Matt, love it.

Rachel Bloom's father sounds amazing. I couldn't stop laughing. Everyone knows that kind of dad though.

Excellent episode as usual. Was that duet towards the end an I4H exclusive? Seems like it was.
-
Nicole Parker was great, I hope she returns often. Gabrus and Rust on fire as usual. Shame I couldn't see the stream live, but I really hope it sticks because video serves this podcast well. The quality of this podcast is at a point where I don't even want to listen while working/working out/gaming (like I use most podcasts) and instead just want to focus on the show. Video versions make that easier.

Quick nerdy question: Has Jean Grae ever collaborated with Kitty Pryde?
Â
They have pretty different styles of rapping imo. I doubt it would work. As far as I know, no. Interesting that they both picked their stage names based off X men. Although I'm not even sure that was the inspiration for Jean Grae. Kitty seems like more the type of person to be into comic books than Grae. I don't consider Kitty to be a particularly good MC though. Jean Grae doing a collab with Little Simz though... that would be raw af.
Â
<- Jean<- SimzÂ
Those two would be a force to be reckon with on the same track...
-
I don't know why Jean Grae slipped my mind but she's a fantastic rapper. This was just the reminder I needed to go dig through my old hard drive and transfer her music onto the new hard drive. It's good stuff guys, highly recommended. Tied with Little Simz for best female MC since Lauryn Hill. Definitely underrated. I had no idea she was so personable and funny as well.

Wait woah woah I heard a clip of a "Hop Along" song at 7:49. Who's the Hop Along fan? Jason or Lauren? Either way that's awesome Hop Along is an amazing band who needs more recognition. Whichever one of them put it in there - they've got good music taste.

I'll admit I was a bit wary of the musical episodes when Matt first started doing them, but it wasn't long before I realized how great they were. I'm a big fan of Waxahatchee and some of the songs she does on I4H are the only acoustic versions I can find.
Â
Does Besser always just seek out the musicians himself, or if we throw some suggestions of indie/underground artists he'll take them into consideration? I guess she's really blown up in the last year, but I would lose my socks if he ever got Aurora on the podcast.

What an amazing episode.

First time I've heard Hillary Matthews, and she was really funny. Would love to hear her on future I4H episodes. The other performers are obviously all seasoned all-stars so there's no doubt they delivered as well.

Rory Scovel has such a great chemistry with the bros and DVK. I could listen to the four of them screw around all day.

Awww yeah my favorite stand up. After Howie of course. I wish Rory would guest on more earwolf podcasts more often.

I have never listened to this podcast before and I just decided to start with this episode - oh my god, what have I been missing... This was hilarious. Time to make my way through the catalog.

-I think a constant, functioning, radio of podcasts could actually be really cool
Â
Â
That's actually a great idea and I can't imagine it would be too hard. It would be a great way for people to discover new earwolf podcasts and would help me when I'm having trouble deciding what to listen to. One day of the week plays all the most recent episodes, another day of the week plays classics, another day of the week is just completely random, maybe a day that plays under appreciated episodes, etc. There's got to be an intern or something that could throw in a little commentary in between every couple of episodes. It would be really cool.

Comedians often make fun of the whole cruise ship gig thing, but honestly this looks like it would be really fun. Hanging out on the same cruise ship as PFT and Gourley (along with a bunch of other comedians) would be a lot of fun. Good episode.
Â
I know this probably doesn't quite achieve "I Was There Too" heights, but I've never heard PFT talk about working on Bojack Horseman and I'd really like to. There's a lot of funny people on that show and honestly it surprises me that PFT doesn't mention it more often because it really is a truly amazing show and his character is great. In my opinion it reaches Arrested Development heights. I wonder if he gets along with Aaron Paul.

Wengel and Campbell are always on point so no surprises there, but Jerrod is a lot of fun and I wish he was on earwolf podcasts more often. I think he would make a great Spontaneanation guest. He's one of those guys that if you met you couldn't help but try and be bffs with.

I like looking at the pictures included in each podcast, and at least for me I often find the 'next arrow' that brings you to the next picture is a dead link and I have to exit the photo and click on the next one from the original page. I don't know if that makes sense, of if it's even worth fixing, but it's just a small thing that bothers me sometimes.
Â
I would also appreciate a search bar on the main page that you can use to search anything; hosts, guests, keywords, episode title, podcast title...
Â
I agree with kickpuncher - the color scheme is important and I wouldn't change it.

Is Gabrus growing his hair out? He should keep it up, it looks badass.

I really love getting a closer look at Besser's personal life. I've listened to every single I4H and I learned more about him in this episode and in Gabrus' "High and Mighty" episode than I have from all the I4H. Is it weird that I want to hear about how his daughter is doing? Honestly Besser's like the best podcast host out there, and one of the best podcast guests out there.
Â
Seriously if anyone hasn't, listen to his episode on "High and Mighty". It's hilarious and fascinating.
-
Trilogy is amazing, and this particular episode is, in my opinion, the best I4H episode that ever was. Either this or the Christmas Carol episode.

These three are always hilarious together.
