I wish there had been more time to return to this issue. As the conversation eventually led to, both are heroes, but it's hard to compare what each had to go through (for Jason, still going to go through). But the original comparison Matt made in his tweet was about rednecks mad with Robinson and homophobes mad with Collins. And this is a totally fair comparison—the homophobic backlash to Collins IS going to look just as disgusting as the racist backlash to Robinson in 20 years. Brett missed the actual crux of the analogy in the first place. Not that he needed more things to get called out on, but his reasoning for engaging with Matt in the first place was flawed. Also, just my two cents, but I don't think Matt should worry at all about having the other improvisers on during Case Closed. Usually, they lighten the mood a bit (because they're less invested and more likely to joke), throw in a few comments, or even clarify the caller's points. And if it does start to seem like a pile-on, he can always tell them to back off.

Posted this rant video before, but it didn't get picked up for the show. But with the call for more rant style ones, here it is again.

German guy is confused and upset about daddy long legs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdrh2mr56Xo

Like a lot

Ok I know I *just* posted one. But this is unreally and unintentionally hilarious (this was made totally seriously): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRYMpAQGT54&feature=share

Pier 1 "Let's" Coaching tutorial rap. Starts about 15 secs in: http://vimeo.com/48910071

I know that various creationist non-sense has been covered on the show before, but I just love this video so much. And it would be so ripe for a scene or two: Peanut Butter, The Atheist's Nightmare!

I really enjoy that both on here and the Maximum Fun messages, people will sign up for an account and on their very first post write a vitriolic diatribe about how they are deeply upset about something they heard on a free audio podcast.

not true

Not too surprised. The amount of work going into it + people's vitriolic reactions - low listenership = hard sell to try again.

Yup

This is a great journey

There could pretty much be a spin-off sketch/improv show just about that hotel. Holy shit was glorious!

Thanks for the tip! I wasn't trying reading at all! I was just jamming my face into my iPhone as HARD as I could. My co-workers were concerned about all the bruising, so this saves me quite a lot of embarrassment!! **seriously, though, yeah, it's just an OCD thing and not a big deal and I'm very glad it's fixed
