A Kuku and WieWie travel show needs to happen.

And yet the "Ben Affleck is emotionally torn and drinking a bottle of whiskey in his hotel room while mugging out the window" scene would be perfectly at home in any other HDTGM film. ACTING!

I did not want to watch this movie again, it did its damage years ago, but I always got a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe from the Aykroyd/Candy "family" and, maybe mixing the two movies together in my mind, but were the hotdogs made of the judge's past victims, conveniently deboned?

Gore had horrible intentions and an over-inflated view of himself; Steve-O seemed at least genuine (if verbose) and just not aware of what the show normally is. If you are of the iPhone listening set like myself, this is a prime episode for the Howard "double speed" playback option. There are some good moments in there, just have to quickly get past the rambling.

It's not Earwolf or Whooch's fault, it's how Gore tags his own lame "show" where he just edits his appearances on other people's podcasts into a streamlined bit of shit. That way he even shows up in the results of other people's searches. Even his iTunes presence is parasitic and skeevy.

It is pretty obvious who the worst guest ever was, and he managed to be the worst across multiple earwolf shows. The fear to say his name must be because he's either in the critic-ing game or some Beetlejuice type of situation. Darken the Earwolf doorstep no more.

Still have Dan Foggelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne" and whomever cursed us with "Christmas Shoes" as 1a and 1b on the worst Christmas songs list.

Whatever they are, it appears to be nerdy: http://www.lockandchain.org/ And they do not explain the imagery or relevance of the lock and chain...

Clermont Lounge and the woman in question is Blondie. Thank you very much.

"So the first song is written by Willie Nelson... it's called...name a Willie Nelson song!"

"Dressed like a fucking psychedelic idiot"

Amazed the "Man's search for faith...that sort of shit" line didn't get scrutinized or Jason let the "fuck guys like you in prison" line go so easy. Great bad movie.

Squarepusher is less a band and more a recording persona of Tom Jenkinson, mentally talented musician, classically trained bassist and drum player and mathematical savant. Try this oldie but goodie. And recorded and programmed on relatively ancient, custom gear: And yes, yes, yes: Howard needs a travel show. Maybe a different guest companion each week. Constantly live mic'd, documentary style, with no narration. Basically, rip off Karl Pilkington but with a knowingly comedic bent.

Finally a Chris Gore awfulness-acknowledgement.

While it would have been interesting had Jermaine Jackson been an original MTV VJ, and it may have seemed like he was an employee given the amount of times the "Can You Feel It" video played, I believe Scott meant JJ Jackson, the most upbeat of the original MTV lineup. Just needed to clear that up for some reason.

Yeah, the cliche is true: Abs are made in the kitchen. Building abdominal muscle will help kick your metabolism up, but it all comes back your intake. And this is where I stop myself before advocating a specific diet on a comedy-based message board, but it sounds like Kulap was on the right track.

I don't know who Chris Gore is and, after 20 minutes of that (despite Howard & Kulap's best efforts), I don't care to. At least I now know what douche is responsible for those channel guide reviews.

I am impressed there are 21-year-old kids creating logins for the express purpose of making a Happy Days reference in 2012 to voice their support for "good science" in a comedy podcast. How the world has changed.

One of the greatest episodes ever. Howard trying to bring a somber note via Jimmy Buffett... Whatever was happening during this episode needs to be bottled.

Wow, that picture instantly made me think of Gleaming the Cube. And I had successfully avoided knowing that annoying "band" was called "Carmen" until today; all I can say is "...white people".

Snakeskin babysitter almost made me crash coming back from lunch; when Andy Daly breaks character, it is especially hilarious for some reason.

Yeesh, that Pepsi commercial was long and not funny. Can't the Earwolf squad double dip and produce something better for them? The Coke talk inadvertent promotion after was hilarious.

Foul on the play for avy theft!

@Ryan I disagree; Aaron doesn't really force his opinion out there, but he is the only person of "faith" in the pod and is, fairly or unfairly, looked to to provide that perspective. While I identify with the rest of the pod from a theological perspective, I appreciate having someone there to correct misconceptions or offer how __________ is reconcilable with those that are "believers". It is possibly unfortunate that Mormonism is as "unique" and nuanced as it is compared to plain-vanilla Christianity, but I think that adds to the possible comedic value. Also, (no offense if you're reading this, Aaron) he doesn't do that great of a job articulating really large theological ideas, which I find amusing and benign rather than "proselytizing". Plus, that was a great Son-in-Law pull.
