No mere mortals could be so thoroughly bested by fleeing civilians. What's really going on here?

Oh man. That robot voice segment had me laughing out loud in public like a fucking idiot. No regrets.

This episode just made me love the UCB more than I already did. Awesome philosophy breeds awesome performers.

No Sascha, no listen. Just kidding. Did I get you? I got you didn't I? It's all right. So there's that. So what I learned this episode was that the most famous comedian in America is too famous now to take her job of Aaron-wrangling seriously.

Holy fuck. I love that Jon Daly is actually wearing a Cosby-ass Cosby sweater. Such a great episode. Three of the best guests that a comedy nerd could ask for.

I think that one musical sting (that Jake was swearing he heard somewhere else) was used for something related to sports. I think! Anyway, awesome episode! I really really want to see that Sgt. Pepper movie now.

Aw, Jesus Leonard, that kid's nine years old! Can't remember exactly which Bear Down Leonard is on, definitely made it into one of the Best of the year type wrap ups.

Leonard is the fucking best. Have you heard Roberts do him on Walsh's podcast? Awesome episode. Grunge Eagle is my spirit animal. I'd love to hear Courtney Love do some Swamp Rock! with the Professor Blastoff gang.

"...just a story whispered between stars." That's kind of an unironically beautiful sentiment. I love dead Huell.

As much as I want Howard to better himself, I never want him to be free of the Clench. It's way too entertaining. And I'm not sure if that Mercy cover counts as a cover being that it's note for note the same. Even the vocal inflections are just straight up thefts. Kulap Vi-iolence. I bet she beats Scott.

NBC must-see Thursdays: If you haven't seen it, he's a he to me.

I love how often Brett Easton Ellis gets brought up on this show. I think Jake and I are maybe coming to the same realizations about him. For decades it seemed like he was kind of in on the joke--so to speak--about his characters. But more and more it seems like he actually likes these pieces of human garbage. That being said, as an author, I still think he's kind of a genius. Fucking love me some Fogelnest Files.

I want this more than anything.

I'm really starting to think that I might have The Clench. "And in this corner! The wind-based Beast from the East, the Double-D Titty Twister, the Busty Gusty....KUUUUUUUUUUUUUULAP VILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYSACK."

OR goodess.

Wait, so Dat Phan suggested this?

I wonder if this isn't just some LA thing. If I lived in California I imagine that I'd be directing my anger at inconsequential shit too because I wouldn't have to deal with any of the other bullshit that comes with living in a flyover state.

High Ku? Oh, you.

Yay! I'm a Sascha fan. She definitely in my top five. And in regards to David's Homogun scenario: I think the case Kyle was talking about was where a guy took a railroad spike to the--i thiiiiiiiiink--hippocampus, Whatever area it was, it has some direct correlation to regulating emotions. I think love and attraction are a little more nebulous. There are so many things that go into attraction, it's not just controlled by an area of the brain. Biology plays a part, genetics probably do as well, and maybe even environment. I don't think there's anyway to control it and it would take more than a spike to the head to change someone's sexuality. I'm kind of interested in the subject, but I think at a societal level, we should definitely be on the Tig train of who the fuck cares? Just let everyone be however they are.

I can see everyone's points, but I guess I always just saw those "comedian to comedian congrats" tweets as like humblepromotes. Just a public way of congratulating your friend as well as introducing your followers to someone that you respect and think they should pay attention to. Just started listening to the call...this guy sounds like he's like 16. Already cringing. This should be good.

You're in for a treat and some shocking revelations.

Aww, I thought Kroll's show was going to be called the Nick Show Kroll. I'll still watch it, and love it, but i'll do both begrudgingly.

Please don't do an episode devoted to Kulap hooking up with a stripper. If it can comedically work into a story then please go right ahead, but I can't think of anything more frat boy than listening to a 30 minute story about two drunk girls making out. But if you are going to do it, at least have the decency to invite Chris Gore back for it. I'm sure he'd dig it.

I was pretty proud of you guys for cutting the slur out. My only suggestions would be MORE SEAN CONROY.

I'd love to hear Marissa Wompler and Listler thrown in there. Like some kind of summer camp or something.
