EPISODE 218 — Dawes in You've Been Invited to an Invite

[EPISODE 218 — Dawes in You've Been Invited to an Invite]

What if EW stands for Engineer Wins?

[EPISODE 218 — Dawes in You've Been Invited to an Invite]

And once again the album versions are much worse

Apparently Brett should just produce everyone's albums

[EPISODE 218 — Dawes in You've Been Invited to an Invite]

I had never heard of this band but WOW. I loved them. I immediately had to rewind and listen to Things Happen again. Just beautiful. Thanks for widening my musical horizons, Matt.

[EPISODE 113 — Listeners, Our Close Friends 3]

Forum's getting weird without a new ep. The episode usually allows us to hit the reset button before we get too far off the rails. Two weeks is too much, by Monday we'll have reverted into some sort of primal state.

RIP rails

[Survivor Season 31 - Second Chance discussion thread]

This season/finale was so dern good. I can't think of a more likable final 3 in the history of the show (even though I still think doing final 3 is pointless. Wish they'd go back to final two since it always comes down to 2 anyway). But when Jeremy broke out the preggy card, it was game over.

 

Kieth getting choked up during the finale gave me some real feels. And I felt vindicated in my notion that Savage is basically the biggest tool in the world. The dude wore a knit cap in tropical heat. There are 25 year olds who don't dress that young and hipstery. Good god.

[EPISODE 217.5 — Ask the UCB: Rules vs. No Rules w/ Ian Roberts (Pt. 2)]

This has been just fantastic. I've listened to both parts several times now. Thanks so much for uploading these, they're super helpful for people like me who don't have a lot of improv resources in my immediate area.

[EPISODE 38 - Beautiful, Fancy Apartment in NYC]

My face *literally* lit up when I see this lineup.

[EPISODE 217 — A i4h Christmas Carol]

Holy craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap. So incredibly good. I want to know what name was bleeped out!

(In all seriousness, I love that Sean and Hayes, and now this show, have been openly making fun of the whole Scripps thing.)

[EPISODE 217 — A i4h Christmas Carol]

This episode *still* hasn't shown up on Howl.

Gotta love Howl.

[EPISODE 113 — Listeners, Our Close Friends 3]

one day, by some miracle or the very hand of God, I will be on one of these call-in episodes.

[EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees]

Glad the AV Club has their priorities straight. Looks like they spent a lot more time on their podcast awards than they did putting together their albums of the year. Music is so over.

I've always said songs are just little podcasts with guitars

[EPISODE 37 - Saltwater Tuffy Shoppe: Live from LA Podfest]

Not sure if the video of this is still available anywhere, but if it is, I'd really recommend watching it (legally, of course). I was having a bum day, and it really brightened it, and not just because Paul falls out of a chair, which happens to THE BEST of us.

 

The series of Andy Daly's characters' marriages is maybe my fave mome in the hist of this sh (show)

[EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees]

how did "best demystification of hollywood" or whatever not go to HH?

[EPISODE 36 - A Dinner Theater]

I *just* finished watching The Jinx so that Robert Durst reference hit the spot.

[EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees]

I thought X's were hugs and O's were kisses!

Have I been doing it wrong the whole time?

I've been texting kisses to my mom and dad and hugs to my wife?!

Eeeewww!

And I've been hugging spots on treasure maps and kissing cheerios!

[EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees]

def not a fan of Sean saying that they're often not really into the show.

Some peeks behind the hollywood curtain you can never unpeek. I didn't want to know that. I want to assume that Sean and Hayes are always having the best time of their entire lives during every podcast but now I know that they're merely miserable slaves to the powers that be.

[EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees]

The game? It just changed, fellas.

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

friggin call-ins, man. I guess it's just not meant to happen for me.

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

what's the simpsoons?

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

Here's what I think about SNL - it's a sketch comedy show with a rotating cast. They write and rehearse each episode in one week and then perform it live on Saturday night at 11:30 PM on NBC. Some sketches are really funny. Some are kind of funny. Some are not very funny.

 

I hope that wasn't too controversial

This is inflammatory and unreasonable and I don't think we should have to listen to this kind of slander.

[Survivor Season 31 - Second Chance discussion thread]

I'm still two episodes behind, but I hope the cast members say "this is my second chance!" more often. I keep forgetting what the name of the show is and it would be v helpful

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

 

 

What was your take on "Really? with Seth and Amy"

I loved that cast, but the sketches were always pretty lazy. Weekend Update was always a highlight, though. Seth and Amy were a great combo. I genuinely enjoyed "Really?"

Maybe that's not cool, but guess what, NERDS is cool now and bleh blah blehhh.

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

I hate when people shit on SNL. Every era of SNL has had good skits and bad skits, it's just you only remember the good ones from the past so you're underwhelmed when you watch a full current episode. You would probably be equally underwhelmed watching any episode ever. SNL still produces quality stuff from really funny people. It's just easier to say stuff like "it hasn't been good since Ferrell left" and have a bunch of people who also don't watch agree with you.

Really? I think it's a super cool and unique perspective on comedy and I'm glad it comes up literally any time SNL is mentioned anywhere.

[EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend]

Does anyone still watch SNL

yep! I avoided the Trump episode obviously but this is actually a really good cast and the sketch writing is really solid-all around. The sketches are actually sketches, not loose concepts wrapped around dumb characters and impressions (they'll do those every once in awhile, but the Hayder/Wiig years were ALL that). Update is pretty bad, but mostly because of the hosts. The joke writing is still pretty good.

[EPISODE 35 - The Moon Landing Taping, 1969]

It took me a depressingly long time to figure out the Tim E. Powers thing.
