I wonder how much Earwolf's had to pay Adam Ant in royalties.

I was disappointed that they stopped singing "Here I Go Again" right before the point where they would have had to decide if they were singing the album rock radio version or the Top 40 version.

If you had done the extra Bs, I would have done the extra Ss.

Thanks for playing "Want/Settle/Get"!

Doesn't Brazil have its own weird racial issues? Because of their own history of slavery and slaveowners fathering children with slaves, Brazil gets very particular about how much "white" you have in your ancestry. Their census has like 100 different racial classifications, all based on how "white" you are.

I haven't tried it on the treadmill (New Year's resolution tho) but I can't listen to I4H while eating. Poop/farts come up just a little too often - and from out of nowhere - for lunchtime listening.

You're getting too close to the truth, KUMAIL.

YAY, love is still alive!

I'm not trying to advocate for mainstream music, but quite frankly the AV Club is the sort of publication where the music critics have an ear for mainstream music. So I agree with Besser's lamenting for Jason Isbell or Parks and Rec not getting big-time accolades, but it's inaccurate to say that just because a group of people agreed that the new Kanye record is good means that they aren't "real" critics and just heard him on the radio.

AV Club puts I4H in their "Best" list almost every week, and consistently calls it the best podcast of its kind.

Guys, I have been to that Woodman's grocery store on South Gammon Road. It's even more ridiculous than they make it out to be.

Engaged ain't married! Make your move, internet commenter!

If I recall, the Earwolf Challenge comments were pretty nasty, and most people were there just to talk shit about whomever seemed to be winning (often TL). I also think a lot of those people were friends/fans of some contestants, and since there aren't a ton of people on these boards, the signal to noise ratio was pretty poor. Going back and listening (and yes, Pardo was very positive about TL's intro), I can see why Earwolf didn't do another season. It must have been so time-consuming to come up with challenges, make all the calls, etc. They could have tightened up the episodes in editing, but that would have been even more time. Anyway, I'm glad they did it the one time and got TL onto my radar.

Yeah, I think I need to go back and listen from the start, now that I've been solidly listening to Totally Laime and Totally Married every week.

"Case Closed" briefcases. Or even a lunch box.

All faux dramatic scenes are improved by "Chelsea Hotel No 2," even if you fudge the lyrics.

"I hope he's not going to Stoltz me" "Hey, step over here and just Razor's Edge it" Aukerman's on fire today, turning proper nouns into verbs. He's really Aukermaning this podcast.

This is one where I wish we had follow-up. This woman tells her friend (the caller) what her boyfriend wants during sex. Either ( a ) she's so uncomfortable with it that she's asking for advice from a friend, in which case hopefully she can either get to a better place with this guy or move on, ( b ) she's into telling her friends about the weird shit her boyfriend likes, in which case her friend (the caller) probably should just stop being her friend.

Wait, who's been angry or elitist? And has anyone other than Nick Thorburn been dismissive?

Was there a podcast from the concert which PFT attended, and which Howard Kremer bailed last minute?

This might be the first time I've hever heard Andy horrified by Elizabeth.

Yep. And if you've ever tried to watch "Criminal Minds," it's basically a video handbook for how to kidnap and torture women. I worry about the sort of person who watches it.

I don't doubt it. I have so little stomach for TV shows about sex crimes and kidnapping and how slowly they pan over a women's bloody nude body that I probably didn't even notice the racial aspects. To the point about Brooklyn Nine-Nine making the cops look like a fun bunch, I'd only argue that any comedy set in a "serious" workplace will generally have to sidestep those issues if they want to simply be a comedy.

Also, has Andrew Ti been listening to a lot of You Made It Weird? He talks about everyone wanting to be Don Draper and then relates that to the "lizard brain."

SVU's probably had so many child prostitutes over the course of 6,000 episodes that eventually every race would be represented.
