Three of my favorite Earwolf people!! ... and also, John Gemberling

Australian skunks look totally different than American skunks. In the original draft, Hogan pulled a dead skunk out of his pocket and said "That's not a skunk! THIS is a skunk!"

Good work Geordie ... a little too good. Everybody's in a tizzy about immigrants immediately south of our border ... I think we should be more worried about the ones to the super-southy-south of us. Because these smooth-talking Aussies are gonna steal our American ladies. Geordie, if I have anything to do with it, you will never get a Visa. Or a MasterCard, for that matter.

Poor Marissa. She's dealing with a lot of chaos in her life. She was really starting to lose it when Scott told her to "womp it down". This is for you, Marissa ... DON'T WOMP OUT LOUD ... just womp it inside/ and learn how to womp your feelings ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWiXyAAw1Ek

It was cool to find that out. That's one of my favorite sketches.

Yes!! WORLD CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.

They are like cats that way. Cats freak out if you rearrange the furniture, and nerds start chasing their tails and lunging at ghosts if you rearrange hosts and cohosts.

I listened to the version I listened to the "compromised" version of the show before it was corrected. It seems like the difficulties were caused by the mention of "karf". So I'd advise everybody be wary of that word. Armen seems to think it's an innocent and fun nonsense word, but I think it might be very dangerous. Kareful with the Karf!!

"So is this just footage of monkeys high-fiving goats?" -- April Richardson, pumping Howie for information about "Animal Odd Couples"

Just found out that comedy's royal couple has produced a new human! Excellent work, guys! https://www.facebook...elevant_count=1

"I met a person with opposite parts who thinks the same way" -- Howard, there's no way you can drop out of the music game. Because when I heard you say this today, I started thinking that quote could be the seed of a great love song. Maybe an old-timey country ballad. I'm about one hour into the episode, and it's turning into a beautiful, spiritual and (as always) hilarious experience. Keep it going, chartists!

The "cup boy" sketch lends itself quite well to the .gif format, if nothing else. Obviously, U gotta get Horatio on the Files. If and when he gets on the show, I'd like to see some discussion of his criminally under-rated "Jasper Hahn" character... the naughty children's book illustrator who appeard on Weekend Update once or twice.

Good job, April ... hey guys, I don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere on the forum, but I started a congratulations thread for Matt and Danielle: http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/12812-congratulations-matt-and-danielle/

Kulap has appeared on the cover of a comic book. Howie's been sporting a samurai top-knot lately. This Mack fellow incorporates Japanese-style imagery into his work. I think we all know what needs to happen, right?

To be fair, the Best Show goes back a long, long way. Back in the olden days (fooling around with glasses, adjusting dentures) a lot of us thought .RM files were gonna be a thing. With the benefit of hindsight, we all now realize that "real" files suck eggs. But the task of archiving all that old stuff is a monumental one. So we might have to do like they did in "Fahrenheit 451" and re-enact all the classic bits for each other. So just try and have some perspective on things. You're getting all worked up. You're getting all mad ... like a rattlesnake at a Thai wedding.

Just started listening, and I am in love with that Van Halen remix already. A glorious start to my morning, that shall powah me thru the rest of my day.

It was great to hear Scott say those words ... Those words he hasn't said in so long: "What's Up, H_t D_g"? I don't want to spell it all out, for fear of sullying the sacredness of that phrase. BUT, having said that, I feel like this show needed a fully licensed Icthyo-meteorologist on board. It pains me to say it, but the show fell short in it's attempts to explore the science of sharknados. I mean, if Professor Blastoff was doing this topic, they would have gotten an expert. I don't know, guys. I just feel like you're not taking this seriously.

The name of Carlos's character in the "Planes" movies is "El Chupacabra" ... speaking on behalf of the Earwolf delegation, I must raise an objection.

... Okay, now that I've listened to that segment some more, that was actually quite enjoyable. Man, those are some terrible lyrics.

Regarding that Five for Fighting song: The game's no fun if the song is already ruined to begin with. That is a pre-ruined song.

This episode was delightful, top to bottom. Special edition of (ph)oam corner: More Like "Gotta JibBON'T", am I right? J/K, Harris. I'm just funnin' you. Here, I got something special for you:

So Howard talked about being a kid and getting scared by a kidnapping in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", and Andy Daly laughingly replied that Benny Hill was the kidnapper. Wait, that's supposed to make it less scary?

THE SEQUEL PITCH (a half-act play based on the "Comedy Bing-Bong" podcast) (DIRECTOR, as played by actor/director Werner F. Tompzog): The grown ups find themselves in a burning building ... (HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE, as played by Hawt SoccerZog): How many of them make it out? (DIRECTOR): Well, I don’t want to spoil anything … but none.

HodgePodge! The Hodgster! Hodgama Hodgama Hodgama! Looking forward to this. Hodgman made a recent appearance as "Ayn Rand", hosted by "HG Wells" (aka PFT) on the "Dead Authors Podcast". Hodgman as Ayn Rand was incredible. One of the best things ever.
