Let's not make this about "vs.". I had Neclord on to talk about Capt. Spike from Start Trek being a cyborg or not. It was a civil discussion was it not, Neclord?

vg vgfitzger, we need to get deeper into this. Want to skype into the show on June 20 around 10:30am PST? If any improv4humans listener is HONESTLY offended. put-off, or strongly disagrees, in any way, then I'd love to give them a chance to express their opinion on a platform where I can respond, and improvise off that... Eric the Paid Intern will hook vgfitzger up, right Eric?

I stand by what I said. He is a cyborg. His brain is hooked into a computer. Half man, half robot = cyborg. YOU ARE THE WRONG ONE. Care to call into the show and debate this?

What was my wrong Star Trek reference?

mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I'd like to plug my film Freak Dance here if I may. Freak Dance is NOW available for anyone who has the ON DEMAND feature on their cable or satellite system. Support UCB's feature film! -

Does J. stand for "Jesus"? J, I'd like you to call in to the podcast to discuss these opinions. Game? -
Episode 25 — Hiroshima Orgies

I agree with Rachel. I like that we can have shows with varying pace. Actually, this ep was one of my favorites. If you guys have a sec, please go to itunes and give us a rating and tell me there what improviser you'd like to hear back on i4h, and what new guests you'd like to hear. -
Episode 21.5 — Bonus Cut: Letters from Camp

That was indeed the story that inspired the bug juice scene. I talk about it more in depth on Pete Holmes podcast "You Made It Weird". -
Episode — Broken Mother's Back
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
Yes, I try to keep the show under 70 minutes, so I tried to do it this week without cutting full scenes. Didn't work huh? Which cuts hit the hardest? Which scene should I have cut? -
Episode 20 — Darker Than Nougat
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
But seriously Todd, I'm not trying to ambush you. This is actually something that comes up a lot in the "are we crossing the line" debate of comedy. Want to discuss your point of view on the show. Dustin, how could we hook him up the way we did callers on the Earwolf Challenge? -
Episode 20 — Darker Than Nougat
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
Actually Todd, I'm not sure I understand your point of view, since we weren't making fun of the homeless. But would you like to call into the show, and we could discuss it? We could arrange a call if you are game. -
Episode 19.5 — Tim Tebow Bonus Episode
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
I don't think being anti-Pro Choice and anti-gay marriage is a "good guy". I don't think anyone involved with Focus on the Family is a good guy. In fact I think they are bad people. I don't like right wing Christian conservatives, especially the one who throw their religion in your face in a secular situation like a football game. People like me are not against his religion, we are against the way he promotes it. You can't blame the media for everything. He creates his own hype and loves it. That's why he chose the Jets over the Jaguars because he wanted to be in the hype center of the world instead of his home state. My hate of him has nothing to do with the fact he is a mediocre QB. I hate him because he is the most obnoxious evangelical in the history of sports. I do help my problem by hating on Tebow. Tebow needs to know that not everyone is on board with his antics like his Born Again army. People should always speak out if they don't support something. If anything the media is light on him when it comes to his evangelizing. How do you think the media would react to an star athlete who thanked Allah in post games interviews, or thanked weed like we did in our scene? -
Episode 19.5 — Tim Tebow Bonus Episode
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
I hope you enjoy it. Please help me make this the biggest improv4humans yet. If we can get the whole world to stand hand in hand then maybe we can convince the Jets to flip him in the draft. Let's get our priorities straight, put aside our jobs and families and get this thing done. -
Episode 17 — Chili and Cigarettes
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
The day RZA shot with us he also brought along the Black Knights of the North Star and Killarmy. Comedy Central had a limo pick them up and take them home after filming. Later we were told that the Black Knights smoked a lot of "something" in the back of the limo and kicked out one of the windows. -
Episode 15 — Where'd That Hat Go?
mattbesser replied to admin's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
I'd like to hear more about why you don't like the ManOnTheStreet interviews because I was planning on doing more of that. -
We're trying to put together a recap episode where we talk about suggestions and criticisms made by the forum. Who here should represent the masses?
-
@Mark Thompson Do you live in LA? I'd really like to meet you more than anyone in these forums.

I agree with a lot of what is being said here. I'll do my best to respond on the show that we record today.

@Mark_Thompson I stated the criteria. Based on this week's challenge the judges were to vote out the podcast that created the least funny submission in the opinion of the judges. The fairness of this week's challenge is obviously up for debate, but didn't we several times say the slate was clean and the podcasts should be judged solely on how funny they were? I'll be able to respond more tomorrow.

Socratic Hosting; What "The Challenge" can learn from "The Challenge"
mattbesser replied to c_n_anderson's topic in The Earwolf Challenge
Jeff, has addressed this before but you aren't going to get anymore work out of the guest judges. It's hard enough just to get them there, they aren't going to do homework or more than one ep. -
Socratic Hosting; What "The Challenge" can learn from "The Challenge"
mattbesser replied to c_n_anderson's topic in The Earwolf Challenge
A lot of good points here that I'd like to discuss on-air. For instance, next coaching session ep. we discuss the co-host idea. We're thinking of doing a bonus ep. that addresses the suggestions in this forum. If we did that it help for me to have some examples of what you guys are talking about. Can you give me a time code of a place where I sound "aimless" or confused so we can deconstruct it on our bonus ep.? In regards to F+ getting conflicting notes...the fact is they confused/lost the judges doing it both ways. I think I addressed this on the show, and I admitted that their show is probably easier to understand if you listen to the whole show and get into its rhythm. -

Sorry, I'd use other phrases but they're not in my wheelhouse.
