[Episode 1 — Public Domain with Paul F. Tompkins]

This makes me so happy. I hope PFT will come back in the future and do an episode as JW Stillwater with Traci as a guest on his show that goes out to everyone who owns a bearcat scanner.

[Episode 321 — Big Fat Voice]

I wish Gabrus had the time to be on CBB full-time as Gino. He never tries to dominate the show, but he's so quick with a one-liner response, and I feel like he breaks Scott so often, he's the perfect "radio sidekick".

[Episode 317 — Tash.2]

I don't feel like she'd be one to do some dumb bit like the one I'm imagining here, but I have to ask anyway: was Natasha's thing with the shekels in her throat for real?? That was crazy.

 

This is a really good episode.

I was wondering the same thing! They all seemed legitimately amazed by it.

[Episode 318 — Lumber Hack]

The wanting an episode scrapped in-joke pretty much has to be the Mohr one, right?

 

What's the story here? I only listened to this one once, because I hate Jay Mohr, but I don't remember anything particularly crazy happening.

[Lists of Scott's "rules" to life]

Now that Don Pardo is dead, they should only hire cast members with combinations of the names of previous cast members, hosts, and musical guests. Examples: Chevy Poehler, Tina Baldwin, Casey Red Hot Chili Peppers

[What guest do you want to see?]

Brian Huskey has been on many times. He plays Marissa Wompler's stepdad Seth.

 

He was also on as two other characters.

Oh crap, I'm an idiot. For some reason I thought Seth Morris did that.

And I don't even remember the 117 episode with Chad Carter by its description. I'll have to listen again. IT'S BEEN a long time.

[Larry Mullen Jr. was in a heist film! A utu2tm/hdtgm ep?]

Is Larry Mullen Jr. related to Larry Mullen Sr.'s son or something? I don't know how this relates to U2.

[What guest do you want to see?]

Jon Benjamin

I'm surprised he hasn't been on yet. He's friends with a lot of recurring CBB guests, and I'd love to see him on as either himself or a character.

Other than that, has Scottrick had Chad Carter or Brian Huskey in before? They're two of my favorite I4H regulars.

[Episode 317 — Tash.2]

I thought Mary was great. I kept thinking the whole 'Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassss' schtick was going to get old but it just became increasingly funny to me. I hope to see her return (both the comedian and the charac).

 

Yeah, the chocktaw seems to be pulling in a lot of the Improv 4 Humans roster these days, and I hope he keeps doing it. They all come up with great characters.

[Episode 307 — Ruth’s Ross Dress For Loss]

Wengert had me in tears by the time he started talking about dogs taking over the bathrooms. And that pathetic voice he did made me laugh every time, regardless of what he was actually saying.

[Episode 147 — Old Dread Ben]

As we have learned from CBB and Superego, PFT can do improv with the best of them. Still, it's especially awesome to hear him on I4H. I hope he becomes a regular.

[Episode 304 — Marissa Wompler’s Six Flags Birthday Womptacular]

Andy's daughter is adorable, and the idea of Don Dimello just coming across a child and deciding to keep it is incredibly frightening.

 

Dabney was great, and I love hearing Seth mention "Jap tea" again. Brian Huskey needs to visit the CBB studio more often. I'd love to see him try some more characters out.

[Episode 146 — Fleeces & Jesus with Chris Farren]

I like music, I like comedy.

But I have to say that I find myself skipping through the musical guest here.

Artists I like as well, and I know it's another way to spark improv- I can appreciate the cleverness but I find it to be a gear change

I don't enjoy here.

I have a similar experience when a stand up opens for a live band.

Two great tastes that for me don't taste great together.

Lucky for you, this is a podcast, and not a live band, so you have the option of fast forwarding if you don't like it. Your opinion is noted. Now can everyone stop whining about the music you don't like on the free podcasts you listen to?

[Episode 301 — They're Twins Jonah!]

So is B-Smalls officially a regular guest? Because I don't think the podcast can handle that many awesome regulars without exploding.

 

I was so happy to see him on again already. I did not expect to ever hear from Victor and Tiny again. I really hope their next appearance involves promoting a poorly established burger joint that sells fries for less than 67 cents.

[Episode 300 — Oh, Golly! You Devil]

I can't believe Andy managed to do it. He sounded physically exhausted by about halfway through the show. I'm so glad Andi Callahan made a return, too. He was one of the most underrated Daly characters, and he was the first person to mention Cactus Tony! He's also one of the more evil characters, so having him be God is somehow perfect. I can certainly understand how he and Chip Gardner were friends at one point.

 

I'm definitely curious as to what Andy is going to do on his next visit to CBB. Maybe an entirely new character? Maybe a good amount of them got amnesia? I'm sure it will be a little while, and he deserves a break after this, anyway.

 

Big shout-out to Zooks and the Scottobot. I'm guessing they had to re-listen to every Andy Daly guest spot, because they seemed to remember just about everybody. And of course, the banter between those two was as great as ever. Any time they want to do another brodown hoedown is fine by me.

[Episode 292 — DJs Are Sleaze Js]

I know Jenny is normally pretty giggly, but I think there may have been some blazing on the load-in before this episode.

My thoughts exactly. She was just so much more giggly than her previous appearances. I was sure she would mention that she was high at some point.

 

This whole episode was fantastic. Haven't heard from Sappity Tappity in forever.

[Episode 294 — Honk Shoo]

Oh my god, Brendon Small is so great. One of my favorite bits is from the episode with him and Aziz Ansari, where he plays the comedian who had a mental breakdown. I'm sure he's busy, but I wish he would come on more often. Every time he's been on he's come up with an awesome new character.

 

Ian and Wompster's University were no slouches, either.

[Episode 76 — On the Run]

The group does suffer from indecision so I can see an open world sandbox resulting in a lot of dead air while everyone waits for someone else to suggest a direction, though I think Gerry coming back will sort this.

Having said all that I'm just happy to listen the arbitrary tangents and outbursts that Blaine's DMing creates.

Yeah, Gerry is definitely the player that keeps things moving or at least gets a discussion going. Problem is, Blaine was good at that too, and now that he's DMing I think he's doing his best not to railroad them, so he's waiting for them to make decisions, and the rest of the group seems pretty hesitant. It's nothing major, and I think once they find a common goal among their characters, it will start flowing more smoothly. Still enjoying the hell out of it.

[Episode 74 — New Beginning]

At first I was a bit bummed that Brian was going back to playing a "safe" character, aka dumb fighter. I enjoyed his roleplaying a lot more when he branched out with Damien. But he seems to have come up with an interesting background for Dag, and I love that he was inspired by Undertaker. And as usual, he escalates the situation to the perfect degree by slicing through a guy with his battle axe. I loved it. Hopefully his crush on Lyra continues throughout the campaign and makes everyone uncomfortable.

 

I'm glad Ken and Sarah changed it up big time. Hug has already become much more interesting than Bart. There was just an overabundance of fighters in the Sark campaign. We've got a much more varied group coming together now. And of course, Gerry is going to create someone awesome to add to the mix, because that's what he does.

 

And I'm liking Blaine's DMing already. There were a couple initial hiccups, but once he has time to write up a bit of stuff for them, it should be smooth sailing. I think he'll enjoy the liberal use of weird NPCs more than Sark.

[Episode 73 — Space Ship Attack]

Thanks for telling us a great story, Sark. I really hope you find time to eventually come back and continue this story, but obviously it's understandable to not have enough time to construct a world. I would love to see you hop in as a player, too, if you can find time for it.

 

That said, I am confident in Blaine. I think it would be unfair to him to have him continue Sark's campaign. He doesn't know where Sark was headed, and he has Blackey to look after. I'm hoping he'll start up a brand new campaign with a brand new party. I would love to see his own original ideas for a world and storyline.

[Episode 130 — 4/20 Special]

What is the vape pen that Matt was talking about? Has anyone tried it? I've had bad luck with portable vapes but if theres a good one out there I'd like to try it.

It's a vaporizer that is literally the size of a pen. You pack the weed, and then you like click this button 4 times to light it. Check out Getting Doug With High on Youtube. There's a vape company that sponsors the show, so they use them all the time. Besser got a free one when he was a guest.

 

Also, I loved this episode so much. Their attempts to make callbacks and transitions, all while cracking up and eating snacks the entire time, made this one of my favorite podcast episodes ever.

[Episode 008 — Kiss Me, I’m Patrick McMahon LIVE!]

 

Nice ad hominem, shall I also claim I've got a full understanding of who you are, based on a handful of words on a message board?

Hominem is not a word, so I'm not entirely sure what you're even saying.

[Episode 008 — Kiss Me, I’m Patrick McMahon LIVE!]

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark that the list of things you missed is pretty extensive.

Got it. So it's not just the IRA thing. You're just kind of a dick in general.

[Episode 008 — Kiss Me, I’m Patrick McMahon LIVE!]

 

Both strawman points, since I don't either and DiMello is *supposed* to be a monster.

 

Thanks for telling me how I should feel about it though.

So you're against a pro-IRA character, but not a "Hail Satan" character? I think it's time for people to tell you how you should feel.

[What guest do you want to see?]

I'm surprised the Superego guys have only been on once, when PFT hosted. And I don't think Sean Conroy's ever been on, which is just crazy. They should be regular character guests, like, ALL the time. I'm sure Scott knows them fairly well, as they all have a ton of mutual comedy friends.

 

I think it would be pretty great to see TJ Miller try a character on the show too. He doesn't have an improv background, but he's so quick and hilarious when doing characters on Cashing In, it seems like a no brainer.

 

Dan Harmon would be a fun guest, and Gilly could probably hook the two of them up together. I'm also surprised Jack Black hasn't found the time to come on at all yet. They're Mr. Show buddies, after all.
