Ahhh thanks for this. I got that the characters were developing over the different episodes but I'm not sure this was clear to me. Me and my friends were on a road trip yesterday and I played the Best of Music and 420 Special eps. They're both hooked now

My family always says "We are what we eat. So we're a family!"

It's crazy: I thought the plot of the movie was what Jason jokingly pitched--that Arnold gives birth to Danny Devito. I was horrified to learn that's not the real plot.

I hope the Q&A session he did afterward will be uploaded as an Ask the UCB bonus ep. Those are the best.

This was a really, really cool episode. I discovered longform improv through this podcast, and since we don't really have that here in ol' c-bus ohio I've really only heard the LA improvisers featured on this show. It was neat to hear this team from another country, who had a totally different sensibility (they actually reminded me of Superego a little). I was also amused at how the token canadian politeness even made its way into the scenework (Instead of just saying "We cut to..." they would say "Can we cut to?"

when I was talking about my new years resolution I thought I was talking about the new year's revolution, hoping that my favorite NBC drama would be renewed in 2015. I don't understand what that means either.

I was going to ask how you extend the T at the end of a "butt" but I think I know the answer if ya know what I'm sayin'

Was that standing up comedy thing about Starbucks a "bit" recorded for the show, or was that real? I'm totally smart enough to know for myself, I'm just making sure you guys know.

This is truly fantastic

I'd really like to hear Jeff Davis. His scenes on Superego are some of the best in the show's history. Plus, he could give an inside scoop on Whose Line

Good news: Chanson's dog actually came to my house to seek refuge. The bad news is he found me to be sort of generic, boring and undistinctive. So he ran away again. Hopefully he can find a nice Anastasia or Bozos.

Ahhhhhhhhh sorry I accidentally got him to go on that fan podcast U Talkin' U2 To Me Too? Yes.

It stands for Chrismartin. Jacob Chrismartin.

I like the intro questions, but I think it's good that he jumps right into the improv-- if you think about new listeners, most people are going to give a new podcast like 5 minutes tops to figure out if they're going to stick around or not. If it starts out with ten minuets of intro questions people are going to think it's just another podcast where comedians shoot the shizz with each other. Jumping right in gives new listeners a better idea of what the show is.

I would just like to say that everybody did a real good job and was very nice and also very funny. A lot of times we have some of that "mean jokes" Sean and Hayes were talking about, and sometimes even anti-humor. But let me just strip all artifice away and say that this group is seriously the coolest, and this show is, no joke, one of my favorite things in the world. Your posts always brighten my day and you sound like cool people with nice voices judging by the show. EDIT: I also agree with Mrs. Mortensen that I'm a believer in call-in shows now. I was never a big fan of them on RSS, but they work better here because being mean to people is funny.

I felt a little better after Sean and Hayes made fun of Chanson for like 10 minutes

5 minutes in: "This will probably be the only call-in episode we do until next christmas"

I would recommend Coldplay's most recent album to anybody. They're hit and miss (though I enjoy pretty much all their stuff) but this newest record is a pretty perfect mix of pop and experimentation. I always like hearing Scott's music recommendations; we seem to like all the same bands/artists for the most part. I'm still heartbroken that he said that one part of that one song on Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues ruined the whole album for him. That's one of my favorite albums evarrr

Beef not there anymore.

I'd just like to echo (echo..co..co...) the sentiments of everybody here--it was really great hearing them talk frankly about these episodes, to the point where I wondered if this was an episode of Let's Be Frank! I was especially interested in the Calvins Twins episode, which was probably my #1 this year. Scott's breakdown of the amount of horse funerals they've been to made me laugh harder than just about anything this year. I could tell on Britain/Killem's last appearance that they planned absolutely nothing (based on the way the name Lon Smudge seemed to surprise everybody) but the fact that they didn't even have the idea for horse fighting going into it was pretty insane to hear. My dream is for Scott and some of the guests to do commentary for some of the major episodes.

I haven't listened to this because I'm still so heartbroken that I missed the call-in. I'm just not strong enough to hear this yet.

Loved PFT's reference to that irritating "In your earholes" pepsi commercial Earwolf used to do.

Take his advice, people. Greggy got me hooked on it, and it's wonderful.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Sheesh, what are the chances? What I really want to do is a podcast where very snarkily and ironically dissect uber-pretentious reviews (Pitchfork, Kill Screen, etc.) I'm thinking of calling it The Review Review. I wrote reviews for a couple years so it's an interest of mine.
