In addition to Louis, you could also watch Growing Paines, Grays Anatomy, Step Bye Step, The Batchelor, Jean Sommons Family Jewels, Happy Daze, and any other alternately spelled shows you can find.

I think we're the same fat Dave, don't sweat it. Let's start a weight loss thread and get ripped.

#1 thing I took away from this episode: If they do a British remake of Toy Story, Nick Lowe is first in line to do the music.

@David The decision to go with the blends versus a standard cotton shirt is one made with the majority style in mind, not the price point. It actually costs us more to get the blends. But I think if you lined up 10 people, and handed them a poly blend and a cotton shirt, 8 out of 10 would say the blend feels more confortable and looks better. We'd love to be able to make shirts for that other 2/10ths, but we can only one time bulk orders make sense for us economically at this point. Personally, I like the blends for their fit more than their look. I'm not the thinnest guy around, and 100% Cotton not only shrinks up pretty good, it also sort of tightens up around my midsection. Not a lot of give.The poly blends, particularly in the larger sizes, just sort of drape down and expose less of how much I should be spending my money on a gym membership and not excessive amounts of poly blend t-shirts. The orders are locked in for a while, but we will certainly take your comments into consideration for our next run. Thanks for the feedback!

Comedy Bang Bang shirts are available for sale! Yay!

Comedians of Comedy is a must watch

That's just classic Conrad.

Reviving an oldie, but I was lucky enough to see a One Star Review of the honorable Mr. Ducca, live in the form of a drunk heckler. It was at Nick Kroll's Largo show in July, and Seth came out in full neck brace, gray hair and crutches, and did a hilarious list of women (has that ever been recorded?). Some loud girl started tweeting Nick from the bathroom about how she "hated the stupid old guy" and then proceeded to mildly heckle once she came back. Needless to say, Nick came out and blasted her from onstage. It was glorious. We should have Nick go after all the one star reviewers.

In response to the Jonah Hill question, I got to go the set of Momeyball, they shot it last August. So he cut that weight fast. Good for him.

This is based not on anything I know from being at Earwolf, but I don't think the sound quality of an out of studio guest will make it on par with in studio anytime in the near future. If Howard Stern, with all the money they have, can't make a call in guest sound great, I think there is a pretty big technological barrier. Skype and Google voice are steadily improving though, and I think we sound better than Stern in that department. There are episodes of How Did This Get Made where Jason skypes in and it feels like he is right there with them, just with a worse mic. It's really just a problem that advancements at Apple and Google are going to take care of in time, I think.

Is it really that bad that there is music? Instead of a Lonely Island song, it's a great acoustic performance that you can't hear anywhere else. It really ruins the show to have a different song there?

What a great episode.

The new studio is in a nice office building with central air. But I think that air only runs during business hours on weekdays. So if we're in there late or on weekends, it can get a little toasty, but nothing nearly as bad as the old studio. The increase in square footage alone really helped with the temperature.

@Roy Ziegler He looked great when he was in the studio (http://youtu.be/qfaTD0VdLzk), and I think they wrapped production in July, so he cut the weight fast. I think I read somewhere he lost 30 pounds in a month.

Jeff mentioned how he will start thanking those who dotate possible on The Wolf Den this week. He also talked about exactly what the donations do. Check it out if you haven't.

Good rebuttal.

Good rebuttal.

Not as an employee of Earwolf in any way, but just as a fan of the Challenge, I disagree that the unfamiliarity with the podcasts is a problem . I'd actually rather them know nothing about the contestants. First you have to think of the time issue. These comedians are taking time out of their packed schedules (whether the angry posters here think they just sit around and do "bong rips" all day) to be on the show. If you tack on "Oh and you also have to listen to a bunch of amateur podcasts that you may or may not like for hours and hours," the quality of the guest judges will go down. Do you think Mark Maron has time to spend doing that? He barely had time to be a guest judge I'm sure, much less study up for it hours beforehand. So right there I don't think it is practical. The same thing happens with Doug Loves Movies; we can't all expect John Lithgow to know how to play the Leonard Maltin Game, but would you rather have him on? or have the game go 100% smoothly? There is a trade off for sure. And on top of that, I think it hurts the content. Like when Benson and Harris Wittles were judges, they both knew a lot about the shows, and I thought it brought a whole aspect into it that didn't work as well. They were partially basing decisions on their preconceived notions about the shows. I think it was designed to be about what you turn in that week, not what overall kind of podcast you are. So in my opinion, I'd rather have them come in cold. Better guests and better content. What's not to like?

@Raymond First off, thanks for asking, we love getting feedback about out merchandise and getting a discussion going. As for your questions, I can confidently say there is no way we could convert iTunes credit over to something we can accept. Apple won't even let you use iTunes money in the Apple Store, or Apple Store money in iTunes. They have it pretty locked up. And while I agree that posters would be great, they are more expensive-ish to make than you would think. Earwolf quality ones, anyway. Plus the shipping cost would be pretty high because of the special packaging needed to protect the poster during transit and its weight. So then we are looking at the posters costing a lot for the fans to get, and Earwolf just about breaking even. That just isn't mutually beneficial. Sorry about all that, but it's not all bad news though! I assure you we are working on some awesome new merchandise right now; new shirts and other cool items that will be released soon. You'll be able to show your Earwolf pride like never before.
