Another incredible episode. Can I be on Case Closed and just talk about how brilliant this show is? Not really an argument but still!

Lotta hot scoops in this ep. I burned my ears cuz the scoops were so hot!!

Hey I was out of town for the past couple of days. I know my presence was severely missed. Just wanted to let you know I'm OK, and thank you for the thoughts and prayers I'm assuming you gave out

Y'all for REAL right now: I've been using the mobile version of the earwolf forums...until right now. I had no idea there was a "like" button. This is kind of a game changer for me. Apparently I have 611 likes, which is 611 likes more than I thought was possible to have! Also I didn't know I could change my user name. So I did. For the time being. Also my name is Jake so call me that. Also Parties I wanna be on your podcast. I'll play my acclaimed character "forgettable new guy"

I sure didn't find it weird! In fact it was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Which makes admitting that the saddest thing that's ever happened to me

Now Andy is one of the beautiful people

The moment where Thomas hands Eric the Wikipedia description of The Blacklist during that scene is one of my favorite moments in the history of the show

Idk what you're talking about bruh, this is just a baller show that gives me hot scoops on showbiz life

I straight up have negative money right now. That's how old money I am.

You're just...ugh. Come on. You can't seriously think that you can tell Matt Besser whether or not his show is long-form, or if it gives you a "long form vibe." You sound like an idiot. The man is a pioneer of long-form improv. He teaches it in a school. He's one of the founders OF the school. He wrote a book on it. HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT HELPED DEFINE WHAT IT IS. Your opinion is irrelevant: Matt Besser is a defining figure of long-form improv and you're just some guy on a message board like me. And what on earth does a performers name in a scene have anything to do with anything? What, if the guy's real name is Bill but you call him Bob you're being creative? Unless the name is part of the scene, it's just a name. I say this because I love you and you're my best friend

Mr. Plaza, how did they do those scenes in Scott Pilgrim where your swear words were beeped out? Was that CGI or a horn in your mouth?

Such a stacked episode. The David Bazan one I think may go down as the best episode ever. Not just for the insanely brilliant scenes, but for the beautiful music. The Animals and Atlantis sketches are just on another level. I don't think there's another sketch show out there on TV or otherwise that can put together a compilation as tight as this one. I4H just gets better and better

Yo Chanson my dad could beat up your dad

I honestly am a bit of a wet noodle, guys Hopefully skizelo and TheloniousJunk's tips will make me know how to not be so scared of girls (i.e. Valerie, I'm even too scared to call her veebs) and not be so offended by swears words. I LIED GUYS IT'S NOT ABOUT MY FAMILY, I JUST DON'T LIKE BAD WORDS THEY MAKE ME SAD

Valerie started harassing me on Facebook, guys. She used swears on my wall. How am I supposed to explain this to my family?

Actually, I think the word Besser was looking for is "jerk," not dork

I have a very important: when does Survivormans start, and does anyone on the forums watch it? I could use google but anyone can post stuff on google. It's like the Wikipedia of the internet

The pig Yeah I'm not sure what the right word is to substitute "nerd." The kind of people that Matt was describing I usually just call jerks or goobers.

This is one of my favorite episodes. PFT saying "Todd, SHUT UP!" is a CBB treasure.

My favorite part was when empireinrecline told Matt Besser how jokes work and what improv is

No no no no no. This was actually a huge part of the problem at BOTB: our band's name is Sid's. SIDS is a totally different band. Sid's is more about PURE rock and rolls, just the power or the music (the name is a play on how our practices are always at our kongaman Sid's house). SIDS is very political and all their songs are about how infant death is bad. We don't really like to take stands on hot button issues like that . But we did lose to Coldplay. It seems unfair that they showed up, especially after how they gave Eno the boot for Ghost Stories. And it caused a lot of tension obviously since Gwen is our drummer

This makes me think about cavemans! Because they were even before the bible. They invented the "rules" of fire, words and stories and had to completely improvise what anything was going to be because it wasn't even invented yet! So really Matt Besser is just a big ripoff of cavemans.

Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into this post. I'm sure Matt will really appreciate you explaining to him what improv is. Could you post a link to your book as well? And any classes you teach? Seems like you know your stuff.

I tried to record a new PG theme (popcorn gallery) but I was rocking so hard that my amp exploded. Eno was pissed, but I warned him it could happen.

I feel honored to be a part of this wonderful screenplay Once I get to the point where I understand who everyone is and what anyone is ever talking about, I vow to attempt one of my own
