    Cake Boss was fun as usual but for me the most magical part was the opening story of Christmas and George Ben Washington and years-long scavenger hunts and Curly's gold and snake parties and baby kidnappings. That delicious nonsense filled my heart with so much joy it exploded and I'm writing this from hospital and I'm very happy about it.

    Really, really great episode, I'm with Steve and Phil. It's always cool to hear stories of The Journey.
     
    The only web comic I read is Penny Arcade (I couldn't help wondering if they're some of the despicable a**holes he was talking about - what a dirty tease) and I'd never heard of Joel's before this but I checked it out and hot damn, it's good. Now I read two web comics.
     
    Also, I don't know if I've mentioned it on the Earwolf boards but I thought your chat with Caleb on Gentlemen's Club was a really good episode of that show too.

    "They call me Mr Stoppit" stopped me in my tracks so I could bend double with laughter. Then after I'd recovered came "I'm not technically allowed on the school grounds" and again spasms of laughter overtook me. Then "Down there they call me The Tiger". Then "I was running a child fighting ring".
     
    Then everything else. I haven't listened to Superego for a while but this episode reminded me of why I was a fool to let it drift away. This was one of the most consistently hilarious CBB characters of 2011 and Patton played along beautifully too. A+.

    Ooooh, so GOOD but so SHORT! What a tease.
     
    Also, it's funny when you say "... twentieth fucking ..." and then you look down as if you need to read your notes to confirm what it's the 20th of because the whole idea of Michelle Dugger (sp?) is so ludicrous you can barely believe what you're saying. Even though I know in real(ity) life it was to reach for the sound board I'm going to keep on pretending it was to check the notes.

    To be clear, of course CDR/CBB has often had a music element. That's why I didn't say it's the music as a whole which breaks the mood for me, it's the EARNEST music. I could listen to Scottrick play Sarah Silverman and FOTC and Reggie tunes till the cows come home. (I wish I knew how to make italics on this forum. Capitalisation just feels so uncivilised and yet I feel I MUST emphazize my points once in a WHILE.)
     
    And to make it clearer to Brian, I can dig your vibe but I know many creative mofos (including myself) who WANT (constructive) feedback of all kinds. They/we DESIRE it. They/we HUNGER for it. Like the GREAT Mathew "Matt" Besser said during the Earwolf Challenge, when you're making radio/podcasts it's the written feedback which is analogous to the crowd feedback we performers want/desire/hunger for on stage. It doesn't mean you bend to the whim of each listener, but it's almost always interesting and helpful to see how one's art is perceived by the more respectful (and may I add, suave) members of the audience.
     
    Ironically the one artist who BUCKS this trend is the world famous Scottabot, an artist possessed of such steely belief in his own vision that all of our ramblings here are like water off a duck's back. And that duck is greased from head to (webbed) toe. But I like to hear myself talk so much I'm saying it anyway.

    When Dov asked/warned permission to ejaculate, and then ejaculated, my heart was flying - nay, soaring. Adomian's just that GOOD.
     
    But I gotta be honest, I've fast forwarded all recent live musical stuff* since the FOD merger apart from Nick Lowe. Even Mathew Sweet, whose Girlfriend album is one of my favourites from the 90s. It's not that I'm anti any of the performers, it's purely that, like Ben V, I'm just not in the mood for anything that's at all earnest when I'm trucking along to the comedic stylings of Hot Saucerman and whacky pals, no matter how pretty the melodies nor how honeyed the voices.
     
    On the other hand a bunch of fans seem to really dig it and Scott clearly does too so I can live with riding the ff button here and there knowing that others are delighted. I'm just that magnanimus** of a son-of-a-bitch.
     
    * I exclude the rap battles and the improvised songs (this ep's was aces) though. Those are CBB things I'm fully in the mood for.
    ** I don't really know what "magnanimus" means but I've heard smart people use it something like this.
