    I really like the episodes where Besser brings in people outside the UCB family.

    Todd Glass, recently Paul F. Tompkins

     

    It makes for interesting improv to have someone from a different comedy background, and it also follows a more traditional model of podcasting (to bring a guest into the realm of host and parameters of the show).

    I hope they continue to do shows like this, it really highlights the improvisors' adaptability with hilarious outcomes.

     

    I told Besser this in person when I met him in 2012 while touring with CBB. I suggested he should have Greg Proops on, because I thought it would be interesting to hear two old school comedy stoners to talk about improv from different perspectives, and share in the common thread that is podcast comedy.

    I know it's unlikely since Besser already unleashed his screed against the two types of improv confusion... but

     

    what do you think about having guests outside the improv community?

    would you listen to episodes that were more akin to a pre-existing UCB show like Snowpants?

    There's actually a really good documentary about Bronies called Bronies. It's basically kids and men who just need to have other people in their lives. Basically seems a lot like people who play D&D. Fellowship finds itself in all forms.

     

    It's OK... but it doesn't fully explain public conception of this insane sub-culture. If Besser or the guests have questions about bronies I'd be more than happy to answer them. They all seemed confused and misinformed.

    Matt talked about suggestions to improve the show, I hope this is the right thread.

     

    1 Take improv suggestions from guests' opening stories.

    You guys get into some really funny tangents in the intro and I wish you would explore some of those stories.

     

    2 Celebrity guest.

    When I met Matt Besser on the CBB tour I suggested that he could have on some non-UCB guests that may be inclined to improv. I said he should try to have on Greg Proops because I thought the different improv style backgrounds would make for a good dynamic. Matt didn't seem to receptive to the idea which I wasn't really offended by until I learned there is show at the UCB called "Snow pants" (I think) that will occasionally have non-improv people like J. J. Abrams on to improv with.

    I'm not saying every episode should have a special guest but it is the traditional podcast layout and I think it would be interesting to see how the two worlds collide. It doesn't have to be every scene of the episode even, something to think about.

     

    3 Bring back the dad letters.

    I thought those were really interesting to have a look into the past like that to base an imrpov off. Maybe different relics from the past of the guests, I thought those were some of my favorite scenes.

    David Cross would be amazing. Hopefully doing characters from his audiobook like a Rabbi, Cigar Corner guy, sitting on a pole to win a truck guy or Ronnie Dobbs would be cool.
