Why would newcomers from the TV show not get that there's characters on the podcast? There's characters on the TV version. It's been a bit of an odd run of episodes lately, Bob Zmuda not really being Tony Clifton, Adam Pally not really committing to being bro a few weeks ago. Before that, Tim Heidecker as himself but as a character version of himself, and last week the Burning Love episode was a bit different because it's characters from a pre-existing show. This isn't a criticism of those episodes at all, it's just that they're all slightly atypical first episodes for someone to listen to.

I complained about that last week, but come on, Tony Clifton can do what he likes.

Well I liked the episode and so did my horse. She loves to eat apples with her malt.

Once again Scott takes a very lenient approach to guests talking during the Would you Rather theme. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

See but I'd always thought there was supposed to be a logical explanation to all of God's laws, it might not necessarily be to do with hygiene, but usually the reason for the laws was that it was that it would be the best way to live your life and you'd be happier if you did. At least that's what my christian upbringing taught.

Thanks. Please do keep us informed of all the podcasts you've not listened to.

Atheism and Catchments. The two most controversial, hot-button topics in the world today.

Shouldn't that be one, nose, three?

I love Aukerman's awkward improvisations, like questioning Danielle on the fact that wearing a Nazi uniform contradicts the fact that she was the one telling them the nazi's were coming. Most improvisers probably wouldn't bother to question that and would just ignore it, but Scott makes them explain in ultra-specific detail.

You know how often I wish Scott would do these cut-up interviews? "EVERYDAY"

What the fuck are you talking about?

I completely related to PFT's confusion over Game of Thrones.

I've found it's much better to listen to this show very late at night, in the dark. You really want to block out any external distractions. Although it didn't matter so much for this one since it doesn't quite have the same atmosphere live. Is there going to be a film version released as well? I'd be happy to pay for it. Well his appearances outside of this show and Comedy Bang Bang suggest to me he's perfectly amiable guy. Seems to have quite a self-deprecating sense of humor, unlike the podcast character who has huge delusions of grandeur, pretty much to the point of having a messiah complex. So I wouldn't say that part is anything like his true personality. Cyrus deserves more credit than he gets for this show, always really like the production and music, so it was extra impressive hearing that stuff performed live.

It'd probably help if you could pinpoint when the change was.

Haven't noticed that at all, the bit rate has been 48 kbps for a while. It used to be higher sometimes when the show was on Indie 103.1. But that was a long time ago. It might be an issue on your end.

Not good enough. Do the whole catchphrase.

So is Saul Goodman's appearance part of the Breaking Bad canon? I expect to see this referred to in the new season.

This can't be the end. Your Gelmaniacs need you Brett. We need you to lead us into revolution. Also fantastic production work and music in this episode, even by the high standards set already.

Well I'll never be able to look at 20's Chicago Gangsters the same again.

Really enjoyed the interview with Bobcat, sometimes when there's a high profile guest the tone of the show gets a bit different, but he made for a really fun and interesting interview and he really got the character part of the show.

Very enjoyable scene and I'd like to see distraction babies available from the store.

I was delighted that Adomian brought back his Hitchens impression at the end, always thought that was one of his most underrated characters. Sidebar - I don't know if Earwolf staff are aware the mp3's in itunes haven't been tagged properly for a couple of weeks now. The artist used to be tagged as Earwolf, now they've been coming up under unknown artist. Like this post if you did listen to the end, but don't want to indulge this cynical attempt to get lots of liked post ratings

Yeah, I was going to say pretty much the same thing. I like the idea of occasional bonus content.

So Dustin exists both in the future and in 1943? Is Dustin some kind of time traveler? Anyway, it's great to have you ladies back. Seeing that this show has returned has made my day.

Yeah I thought it would have been fine if they'd just had a non-character episode. It worked out great as it was, but there's other ways they could have gone with it and it probably also would have been good. Basically I just hope Scott doesn't feel obligated to always have the show stick to a certain format. Some of my favorite episodes are where things don't follow the usual format, and end up being a bit unpredictable and random.
