    I'm not worried. For one thing, an existing Earwolf show moving to Howl/SP would be unprecedented. Even setting that aside, she could have easily been thinking of a) WSGLL archives still being available on SP even without new episodes on Earwolf, or [the letter b, not the eyes of a cool smiley face]) Wild Horses being available on SP (and eventually "coming back" since they also just ended a "season") since this was a re-purposed WH episode.

     

    I really hope you're right.

     

    In any case, this episode was great.

    Agreed. Conan always comes across as being really thoughtful and seems to have a great perspective on things.

     

    I hope that Lauren just mis-spoke when she said that the show would be back on Stitcher Premium after a hiatus.

     

    I concur. That interview portion went from being very silly/funny to being a serious (but still funny) exploration of some profound truths in a very short span of time.

     

    I was also somewhat taken aback by how instantly sad and crestfallen I felt when Lauren mentioned that after a hiatus With Special Guest will only be returning on Stitcher Premium.

    I'm ashamed to admit that I always believed that "Don't think" was among UCB's rules for improv as well. Not in the sense of, "just turn your brain off and utterly disengage," but more in the sense of, "just rely on your training to react in the moment and organically follow the game of the scene, rather than 'actively try to think of something funny to say,' which might ruin everything." I had no idea about the actual origin of that phrase.

     

    This is all really just confirmation of the fact that I really need to finally pull the trigger on ordering myself a copy of the UCB Comedy Improv Manual.

    Do we think that Matt Besser's prominent mentioning of the fact that Comedy Bang Bang is reaching a 500 episode milestone was also a sly way of emphasizing the fact that Improv4Humans is also approaching a 300 episode milestone, and -- as he made clear on the 200th episode -- Matt will simply not tolerate any further failure on the part of corporate podcast culture to acknowledge this kind of achievement? Or, am I sounding a little too much like Alex Jones here?

     

    Also -- though I thoroughly enjoyed this episode -- whatever happened to the continuation of the multi-episode Mope arc from last week? I really hope that that will continue.

     

    Also (at the clear risk of outstaying my welcome) -- I really like how much Scott Aukerman's improv style differs from most people who appear on this podcast, insofar as he will sometimes appear to willfully focus on inane, dead-end details (as he does on CBB) in an apparent effort to derail everything, which forces the other (more classically trained) improvisers to try to deal with his gleefully-introduced roadblocks. Talented and experienced improvisers (such as those featured here) are usually up to the challenge, but the results are always very engaging.
