    I feel like I'm one of the few people active when Earwolf uploads new shows and it usually makes me first comment. I would feel weird about this and hesitate, but I wanted to be the first to express my love of Megan Mullally and my desire for her to be on more things across all mediums.

     

    I'll be the second. Mullally and El Chupacabra tambien?!? I haven't trembled with this much anticipaysh to hear a CBB since ...

     

    Nope, I've never trembled this much.

    Over the years Tig has been a sunshine of my life, even here across the ocean where I've never been able to see her live, but first on Sarah's show, then in podcast guest spots and YouTubes and then with her own regular podspot with Professor Blastoff and with her album.

     

    All I can hope now is that she feels the sunshine coming back at her from all those who love her, from her closest of close pals on out to those of us who have been the anonymous but grateful fans, thankful that we get to share time on Earth with Tig Notaro and be warmed and inspired by the fire of her art. Every wish I have right now is going to her winning her fight so that we all get to share that time and that fire faaaaaaaaaaaar into the future.

    Ku says it best. You are one of a kind Howard Kremer and you make us laugh soooooo much.

     

    Meanwhile, even us damned foreigners should salute one particular US Olympic Athlete who wasn't on the chart. In 2007, when she was 15, Kayla Harrison's judo coach Daniel Doyle was given a 10 year federal jail term after she revealed that he had been abusing her since she was 12 years old. The crimes he perperated against her had put her in such a dark place mentally and emotionally she was contemplating suicide.

     

    Five years later, with her fiance in the stands and the man she credits with saving her life - Jimmy Pedro, the coach who took her on after the ordeal - hollering instructions and support from the sidelines, Kayla Harrison became the Olympic Champion.

     

    They make movies about stories such as these. Kayla Harrison is the real thing.

    This episode was nothing short of an utter delight. There's something about the way in which some guests engage with a podcast's trademark bits (like when they comment in Howard's Who Charted segment intros for another example) that magically makes them more lovable to me.

     

     

    If you're hankering for more Dan Harmon podcastness, he has his own now. I don't know much about Harmontown as I have yet to listen to it, but Earwolf alum Dustin Marshall works on it, so it has my full support.

     

    Apart from TL and Harmontown the only other podcast I've heard him on is The Indoor Kids. The two eps he's guested on were also fun times to the max. I've been retired from video gaming for aeons and even I enjoyed them.

    I don't know what witchcraft is responsible for the way Besser can turn base-level humour insto something which seems like genius but I hope it never stops.

     

    Bob was a delight as always and I think Scottrick is just getting funnier and funnier. I love that in the last couple of eps a guest has called him on one of his nicknames (I think it was Choctaw both times) and the way he rolls with it in response to them. One of my favourite things its the way he drops into cliche mode with conversational/interview topics. The most notorious one is probably "in this economy" but even tiny things like saying "I mean ..." cracks me up. Ku does that too and I love it every time and I don't even really know why.

     

    I agree with the dude who said this is episode of the year so far, although to be honest my memory is pretty cack and I don't remember further back than a couple of months ago.

    There are plenty of opinions around this joint but here are the facts.

     

    1. Andy was hilarious and a delight throughout.

     

    2. Amy started slow and a little clumsy but got into the groove after only a couple of minutes and was a lot of funny for the duration.

     

    3. Too many CBB music guests have brought the mood down but Loudon Wainwright III kept the vibe perfect and earned his way into the all-time Top 3 of CBB Musical Guests with Nick Lowe and Reggie.

     

    4. Whenever The Commanche drops his dumb little lines like "not in this economy" a kitten gets its wings. I don't know exactly how he makes that mundane small talk stuff so hilarious when I'm normally immune to post modernity but he does. He is just that magical.

    Love Bobcat so much. He was one of the very first comedic forces I fell for as a kid and it's been fantastico to be able to follow the course of his career so much more easily since the internet was invented.

     

     

    What podcast was Bobcat referring to regarding the interview where he was being hassled about Mohr?

     

    An episode of Keith and The Girl from back in 2006. Bob's memory is right that the interview went off the rails but it's wrong that the reason for that was that KATG opened by bringing up Mohr. In truth Mohr didn't come up until about two thirds of the way through a fifteen odd minute chat and it was just the kind of personal question KATG always bring up, and one reason why their chats have always been more entertaining than your average interview (kind of like WTF). The real reason that interview went off the rails was Bob being confused by KATG's New York/Israeli aggressiveness and confusing it for them being mad at him.

     

    The thing about the recent tweet was just a case of Bob being accidentally caught in ball-busting crossfire between Keith and a couple of other New York comics (you know how them New Yorkers love to bust balls). I don't think Bob is even on twitter and he certainly wasn't @ed, so it was just unfortunate he came across it Googling himself.

    "His Cries of joy no one will hear. In case I'm not being clear.

    I'm saying that cowboy is gonna fuck a hole in the ground.

    We all do it. That's what i've found."

     

    When Dalton says "We all do it!", i just about shit my pants I was laughing so hard. Great fucking episode!

     

    YES!!! The poems are so damn good.

    @Bucho have you listened to any of Jason's other podcast appearances? He's an all-around fantastic guest! Especially on stuff like his recent episode of Who Charted. I'm not all that interested in The Dictator but I kind of want to see it just to support him.

     

    Oh heck yes Ben, he's been scaling the guest charts of my heart for some time, it was just this particular CBB which pushed him into my numbero uno pozish.

    I give this episode all the gold stars. Just when I thought I couldn't love Andy Daly more he goes and does this.

     

     

    Jason Mantzoukas has become one my favorite recurring straight-man guests because he has such a great dynamic with Scott Aukerman. He's kind of the opposite of Harris Wittels, where Harris kind of goes into a lower-status role, Jason gets incredulous or angry with Scott if he says something silly or just phrases something awkwardly.

     

    Amazing episode. One of the all-time greats! I love everything everyone here has mentioned, and would just like to add Jason M's lack of support of Scott's jokes as part of the greatness.

     

    Also, I loved Dustn's "Don't care!" when he was being Scott.

     

    I love Harris's mellow easy-goingness and PFT's goofy adventurousness when they're yapping "straight" with Scott but with this episode Jason and his loveable feistiness jumped them into first place in my heart.

     

     

    JM: "He was my best friend."

    SA: "He was your best friend?"

    JM: "Inh-- some of his characters were."

    SA: "Aww. I, I mean, he was an acquaintance... of mine.

     

    Andy's suicide conveyer belt thing was a lot of fun but it was this bit which nailed me the hardest. Jason's line was great and Scott's delivery of his line sent me bonkers.

    Bucho - What are you so excited about!?!?!?!?

     

    That pre-listen one was just a little something I like to call "James And Paul On The Same Episode!!!". And I know now that I was so right to be so excited.

     

     

    But this post-listening one -

     

    HECK!

     

    YES!!!

     

    - is for Cyberthug Radio.

    I loved every second of this episode more than life itself.

     

    Is that Set The Rain On Fire song for real or just a brilliant parody of overblown, supercheeseball song titles? Sounds like something Celine Dion or Michael Bolton might have sung once upon a cheeseball.
