Episode 48 — Hometown Hero

[Episode 48 — Hometown Hero]

A BASIN OF DIPPIDY-DO

[Episode 27 — 1-900 KISS MY BUTT]

Poor Xanadu, so misunderstood. Didn't it come back as a Broadway show and also bombed?

 

Jake, I enjoy when you have writer-types on the show. Comedians are obviously hilars, but writers bring a different perspective.

 

[Editing to add that yes, many comedians are also writers and vice versa, but it's nice to have a nice variety of guests, especially to those not usually heard on Earwolf podcasts.]

[Episode 24 — That One Guy]

I find that the fabulously crankier the guest, the better the show.

[Episode 46 — Live at the San Francisco Sketch Fest]

I was lucky enough to be at this show! It was amazing.

[Episode 21 — He's a Friend]

I was delighted about how delighted the Skarls were by the shower video. There is lots of use of passive voice in this post, but you get my point.

[Episode 193 — What Else? What Else?]

You remind me of people that will say really racist things then justify it by mentioning their one black friend.

 

Amen to that.

 

But it does also make the point that the reason that Wompler is so popular is because she has made several appearances and a special. Her character runs deeper because she has had more air time. (Also, it's a credit to Jessica St. Clair being amazing, obviously). It's a chicken and egg scenario. The favorite characters get more airtime, therefore we love them more, demanding more appearances, etc. etc. So, more women getting more airtime will make them more beloved in listeners' ears. Which Scott is making an effort to do. Fantastic!

[Episode 193 — What Else? What Else?]

Scott, I am grateful for for you putting your opinion out there knowing that it may not be a popular one. I think actively having more women on the show is the best way to address it to. And let me put in another push for more Amy Phillips!

 

I read somewhere that Earwolf listeners are about 80% male, which is disappointing. I'm not putting that blame on Earwolf, but I think that's a reflection about comedy as a whole.

 

Did a woman reply to this thread at any point?

 

Interesting, I sometimes assume I am one of the few women who comment on this board (but you know what happens when you assume) but in no way can my opinion represent all women.

[Episode 53 — Anaconda]

Chefe is Portuguese for chief, which makes sense with them being in Portuguese speaking Brazil.

Oh stop spoiling the fun!

[Episode 52.5 — Minisode 52.5]

Ebert LOVED this movie and was serious about getting Voigt a Best Supporting Oscar nomination. I'd recommend having him as the guest, but his health problems probably make that too complicated.

 

Roger Ebert is a national treasure I've always loved his reviews, but in the last few years he's become more cynical about movies and his reviews are the first I go to because they cut right to the chase. He would be great on this show, but unfortunately, podcasts are not the best medium for him right now. If he doesn't already listen, he would love HDTGM.

 

On that thought, it would be great to have Leonard Maltin on the show; Doug Benson certainly has a connection.

[Episode 16 — What am I? On a Podcast?]

I could listen to several hours of these two doing impressions of other comedians.

[Episode 52 — Reindeer Games]

I'm gonna be that person. When you were talking about the sex scene, did you mean that Ben Affleck looked like a centaur, not a minotaur? Either way, gross.

[Episode 192 — Best of 2012 Pt 1]

'Finger Guns' not # 1 !? Travesty !

 

Outrage! I demand a recount!

 

But for real, it's a wonder that any of the shows can be picked best,when they are all amazing. The b-b-b-bonus clips keep me satisfied for those little nuggets of goodness that don't warrant a whole episode.

 

St. Vincent audibly groaning after a Foam Corner joke is my favorite moment of the year.

[Episode 2 — The Jack Special]

Of COURSE Rob Riggle plays Jack. I like how within two episodes, the TJ backstory is already so specific, kind of like the "Wompler mythology". I also love how Owen plays armchair psychologist.

[Episode 19 — The Christmas Womptacular]

Not sure whatever praise can be added above, but I almost screamed with delight when I saw this episode this morning.

 

I actually started to feel a little bit sorry for Gutterballs. But, Wompler is a wild mare who many can't tame.

[Episode 14 — 90’s Rock Retrospective]

I love that Nirvana clip! It's also on Live! Tonight! Sold Out! which is amazing.

 

I wonder of Bob sings that song to Bev in the boudoir?

[EPISODE 41 - Wonderful Podcast Time!]

If Beverly is taking requests, I'd like to hear "All That Jazz".

[Episode 149 — Jews!]

Jamie Denbo? American Girl Dolls? A Jew-off? Cults? This show pretty much involves the best things ever.

[Episode 40 — Animated Picture Frame]

I love the guests that get assertive with R & B instead of taking their criticism.

 

I just knew that somehow Shira's baby would inconvenience Ronna. Thanks for delivering!

[Episode 188 — Attack of the Shits]

"I'm a pyramid scheme. Invest!"

 

"Mama-jamas that go all night."

 

"you mean Battle of the Network Stars shorts?"

 

Jessica St. Clair, you are a national treasure. After getting a stomach ache about going back to work after a break, this was a gift from heaven.

[Episode 49 — Cobra: LIVE!]

 

I cannot get over the fact that Sly wanted the author of the book to put Sly's name on the book and re-release it. That's fucking bananas.

 

I guffawed at that. Somehow, I don't think it was out of hubris, I just think Sly didn't know how "books" work.

[Episode 49 — Cobra: LIVE!]

I just watched the photo shoot montage and based on that alone makes this movie the greatest.

 

For real, Stallone is trying to match a police composite to fingerprints? Now I have to get a copy because I don't believe that someone can put such ridiculousness in a film.

[Episode 39 — Bar Mitzvah Teddy Bear]

This was one of the best episodes yet. Maybe having more non- "professional" funny people is the key!

 

maybe have this guy as a guest?

 

[Episode 186 — New York Mainstays]

 

So nice work, Scott and Paul for keeping this episode hilarious, despite the constant attempted derailing by Folgelnest. Julie was quiet but funny, and she did a good job getting into the joke on WYR.

 

One of the things I enjoy most about CBB is that people have really varying interpretations of guests' intentions and dynamics. It's like life, where you just care for some, and not care for others. I found Jake to be, as he always is, to be delighted to be there and always enjoying himself. I had an initial thought that the two main guests are used to being the alpha hosts of their own shows and how that would play out, but it worked out fine (in my opinion).

 

Since Garry Marshall has become such a CBB mainstay, does the real Mr. Marshall know of it? Do you think he even understands the concept of podcasts?

[Episode 48 — Sleepaway Camp]

How do I email them?

 

I just tweeted at Paul to look at the forums. Not sure if he reads all his '@' replies.

 

Doing follow-up shows on the sequels would be awesome.

 

To answer an earlier question, "sleepaway camp" is a general term used for camps where the campers live for the duration, as opposed to "day camp".

[Episode 48 — Sleepaway Camp]

Not only is it a mask, but there are behind-the-scenes photos of the mask's creation online:

Thanks for registering for the site just to post that. Also? Just spend a lot of time going through that site and the in-depth analysis. I'm tempted to go back and watch the end to see the mask in use but her face just freaked me out TOO MUCH.

 

 

 

I'm officially obsessed with this movie.
