    Currently listening to this and if no-one picks up on Eban Schletter playing the solo for Baker Street while they're talking about it in the pre-amble then I will go crazy. He's making it even more perfect than it already is.

    I really wanted Paul to acknowledge that! Eban adds so much to the Tompkast and Spontaneanation. In my mind, Paul just has Eban Schletter piano music going on inside his head at all times.

    There was also a few times someone said "two more" and Scott didn't reply "It's not a two more."

     

     

    This episode is fantastic as hell, though. Love all of these guests.

     

    Also, here's the Timekeeper's favorite comic book:

    Didn't think I'd get as much out of this pic as I have.

    I imagine that JW Stillwater's dad is pretty fond of this one as well.

    I'm pretty sure they would be willing to help their friends get wide releases for their movies. "So I Married A Van Helsing: The Skellington's Kiss" and "Teen Pope" would be top billed. If they can make it happen in time, they should make a documentary about their involvement in making The Godfather and screen that. And I know it's not a movie, but a teaser trailer for the upcoming game "Fight Haver" would probably go over pretty well.

     

    The most prestigious award would be "Least Scary Feelm".

    Here's my take on musicians on the show: improv is seductive but hard. A funny anecdote is your best friend.*

     

     

    Regarding those ads, I'm curious about Hollywood Handbook but I don't want to commit to another podcast on a whim without knowing if it's good. Do any HH fans here have some insight on that front? Is it nice? Funny? Other adjectives you'd use? Do those adjectives apply to the hosts as well?

    I've only gotten into HH over the last month, and I'm kicking myself for not listening earlier. If you want to get sold on the show, I loved the very 1st episode, but I have some favorites:

     

    I'd suggest the Michael Showalter episode, in which Sean and Hayes claim to have been involved in making The Godfather, and go step-by-step over audio from a scene in which Marlon Brando was difficult to work with.

     

    The Brian Huskey episode is great. They read lines from Brian's upcoming movie "Teen Pope.".

     

    Shelby Ferro's episode consists of them trying to be "hip" to fit in with her because she's so young, and failing miserably.

     

    There's a very early episode where they fire Engineer Brett for sneezing. I wish I could remember which one, but maybe another listener can help me out there.

     

    Grace Helbig teaching them how to operate a laptop and use Youtube.

     

    Adam Pally just gets fake angry and refuses to go along with their shtick.

    Scott made me cry within the first minute. And then roughly 30 seconds into the actual episode, I was already dying with laughter and grinning ear-to-ear.

     

    Thank you Scott for deciding to release this. It was obviously the right call. You said it yourself: Motherfuckers wanna laugh.

     

    A celebrity death has never hit me so hard before. Harris reminds me too much of a couple of my real-life friends, only about 20 times funnier.

    This is the worst celebrity loss I've ever experienced. I felt like I knew Harris without ever even meeting him. He was effortlessly funny, and I've listened to each Farts and Pro episode over a dozen times. He was so young and had so much more to give. My love goes out to his friends and family. I'm so sorry, Harris. I just wish you could have beaten your addictions. The comedy scene just won't be the same without you.

    I just have to say that as a huge David Cross fan, I still really get annoyed when he just won't play along. Is it that absurd to just ask some silly questions for Would You Rather? The guy can be funny in any situation, so it's not like it's a challenge for him, and he's on a comedy podcast. And Scott is a good friend of his. Just fucking do the bit and quit acting like a hipster!

     

    Edit: That said, I really enjoyed Hits, and everyone should check it out. Hopefully it does well enough to encourage Cross to make another movie. The ending is just perfect.

    Scott and Scott joked during one episode that they could just start from the beginning again and review each album from the beginning. I really wish they would do it. We don't need a U2 event for new eps. Each episode would turn out completely different anyway, and there might be several episodes where they don't even get to the album. I know they're crazy busy, but whenever they can get together, I'll take as many of these eps as I can get. And they can always bring in another guest comedian to get their thoughts on U2. Chelsea Peretti hasn't even been on yet!

    Hard to argue with that #1. Andy Daly just killed it in 2014 across the podcast board.

     

    My only qualms with this would be a dearth of Horatio Sanz and Victor and Tiny. I thought both deserved multiple spots. Same goes for Intern Gino. Thems the breaks though. Very stellar year for CBB! overall. C+ to say the least.

    Yeah, some b-b-b-bonus clips would have fixed that, but I really enjoyed the "how the sausage is made" conversations that Scott and Paul had instead.

    Even though I loved and voted for Little Button Puss, I had somehow still managed to forget the "one true love" bit - and then subsequently (and publicly) laughed myself into a coughing fit when I heard it again in this. Brilliant. Also surprised that "They're Twins, Jonah" wasn't higher up the list.

     

    I would have bet money that the JW Stillwater/Traci Reardon episode and "They're Twins, Jonah" would have at least made the top ten. Hopefully the introduction episode of Tiny and Victor will make the list, too. The cheeseburger story is fucking hilarious.

    Rory is yet another comedian that's fun to have around even if he is just in the background laughing. This whole episode was amazing. As much as I love recurring characters from PFT and Lauren Lapkus, I also love that Pam Murphy comes in with a new character every time she's on, and she always knocks it out of the park.

    The Chelsea interview section was great, but I wasn't a huge fan of Seth's new character. The actual description of the pleasing sounds were interesting, but not funny. The idea of just getting lost in the conversation about finances is funny, but I checked out a little after Chelsea did. The sudden "Jellystone fuck you" fight was hilarious. There's definitely some merit to more subtle comedy with a sort of grounded character, but it's not as funny to me.
