Shakespeare used it, too; "Be not a niggard of your speech." (Macbeth, Act IV, scene iii, l. 180) But the thing is, words change. There are hundreds of words that Shakespeare used that now mean different things, just like how reading Chaucer can be difficult if you don't know the original context of the language he wrote with. The fact that language evolves is the beauty of it, and in that change comes new terms entirely, "nigger" being one of them. That word's introduction retroactively taints similar words before it. Is it unfortunate? Yeah, sure, but to ignore modern context of language and risk offending people just because you want to say a specific word is a pretty gross thing to do.

There are literally dozens of other words that mean the same thing. There is precisely one reason to use "niggardly" as opposed to its bevy of synonyms, and that reason is racism, yo.

As as person who is both completely oblivious and has no game, I still picked up some definite vibes between Howard and Kate Micucci on her Whooch episode. Dude was on his mack.

Noah Garfinkel is one of my favorite humans to currently exist so I am very stoked about this development

Melvin Goes to Dinner is a great movie and everyone should check it out. Super interesting.

No!

Andrew also runs Yo, Should I Dump This Asshole? which is equally as depressing as his other Tumblr.

The very fact that Lizzy Caplan and John Mulaney have existed in the same room together makes me alarmingly giddy. Great show.

Eliza Skinner is mad talented and needs to make appearances on more Earwolf shows.

I feel like I'm one of the few people active when Earwolf uploads new shows and it usually makes me first comment. I would feel weird about this and hesitate, but I wanted to be the first to express my love of Megan Mullally and my desire for her to be on more things across all mediums.

I could listen to David Koechner talk forever. This is the best idea.

You guys are just trying to make me give you all your money, aren't you? It's totally working.

Sean Conroy also talks about getting one in one of the early episodes of I4H. Come on, Earwolf, get that Bieber sponsorship money.

You probably are. "My friend is in a great relationship and I just want someone to love me" is the mating call of crazy people.

Kulap used both LCD Soundsystem and Ryan Adams as her chart intro themes and now we need to hang out. Also she sounds eerily like a Tara Strong character during the Squarespace commercial.

If you're hankering for more Dan Harmon podcastness, he has his own now. I don't know much about Harmontown as I have yet to listen to it, but Earwolf alum Dustin Marshall works on it, so it has my full support.

Also, Kulap's pronunciation of "Flo Rida" is making me feel like a jackass for not getting the entendre. I always got the bad Florida pun, but he also rides flows because he is a rapper. I am an idiot. Thanks, Who Charted!

Howard's looking pretty fly with those glasses and that shirt. I'm not gay, but I'm pretty gay, so word up to his aesthetics.

While the first two movies are better in practically every way, I don't think I've enjoyed any part of a superhero movie as much as I did the club scene from Spider-Man 3. Peter Parker whips his coat back so hard it creates a gust of wind that blows Gwen Stacy's hair out of place, and then he says, "Now dig on this." It's the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Also, Paul Rust continues to be one of my favorites and I want him to be on everything always.

I hadn't heard of Jerrod until this podcast, but I'm only twenty minutes in and I'm already developing smile wrinkles. This man is delightful.

Pete Holmes' voice during the Nora Jones Yo Mamma segment sounds like Jason Sudeikis having a stroke.

I really enjoyed the live segment, Brett. Do more. Cook up more truth and inject it into my filthy veins.

Sarah and Kulap like Rilo Kiley. I extend to them an invitation to hang out.
