    I assume Chip's face is a little bit like Robert Z'Dar's.

     

    Honestly the Honorary Mayor of Hollywood episode might be my favorite example of improv. Scott and Jason force everything down Daly's gullet, yet he strings it together so well.

    "Fire Down Below" was Seagal's last studio movie! "On Deadly Ground" was early '94, I think.

     

    Half Past Dead was 2002 and a Sony movie. He did at least another one or two movies that briefly appeared in theaters. I definitely saw Half Past Dead in theaters, and I recommend it to anyone that wants to see Seagal be a little gangsta with Ja Rule.

    Maybe it's a Thursday recording? The World's End is out Friday, it could be an Edgar Wright episode.

     

    I'm hoping it's Simon Pegg or Edgar Wright or Nick Frost. That would be great.

     

    So Matt Besser is doing a character of himself? I'm pretty sure the stories he told in character were just his real experiences. Still funny but a bit too meta for me.

     

    The only real part was that he's mentioned on I4H was his wife was screaming, it happened after midnight on a Sunday, and it was a girl.

     

    In my mind I'm sure this was his way of cleansing a lot of the stereotypical, new father behavior. It let him act that way so he could get some of it out of his system. Instead of prattling to friends he turned it into a character.

     

    It was funny.

    Doug Benson and the Sklars have both mentioned slow ticket sales in Tempe for recent/upcoming shows. Fuck Tempe.

     

    Summer + No college kids.

     

    70,000 people go to ASU including part timers.

    Nobody wants to be around Phoenix in summer so I'm assuming most that can leave for summer do leave.

    Hey Matt, I don't know if you're checking this thread out but I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. I may be paraphrasing a bit here... You mentioned that doing improv in a super supportive environment could hurt your improv and likened it to doing standup for mostly comedians as an audience.

     

    In regards to the standup thing, do you mean that it could harm you because you won't have to win over a crowd? Or is it because comedians will naturally get what you're going for a little bit more, and therefore you won't learn to develop material as well? Or am I just misinterpreting things?

    I don't know why, but I just knew that Mookie would jump on that worm scene as the guy obsessed with worms. He was hilarious in this episode.

     

    This is the second time that Hitler shirt was brought up, right? I know I posted pics in another thread because I have that shirt.

     

    I also want to say that listening to this podcast caused me to go on a DVD-buying binge, getting seasons 1 and 2 of UCB, plus the Asssscat DVD, Freak Dance, and Wild Girls Gone. Sorry to get all crazy fanboy, but I love your stuff, Matty B!

     

    If you're buying all of that, buy Martin & Orloff too. I fucking love that movie.

    I prefer I4H to be not so reactionary. I like I4H because its comedy is deeper than that. I like I4H because one of the things it tries to do is make fun of other people who are so ridiculously reactionary (such as in the "Crap on YouTube" and "Case Closed" segments). I find it ironic that Matt Besser is basically being the mouthpiece for something that is equally reactionary. That is why I called out Matt on this.

     

    If that is "berating," I guess I'm a bully.

     

    So, Matt Besser reading the same ad copy that a multitude of podcast hosts have read on their shows is him personally being reactionary? Is it reactionary to read a stamps.com ad too? You know he didn't write that copy, right?

     

    They clearly used a word like 'patent troll' to engage the younger, internet listening audience, because they use words like 'troll' regularly with a negative connotation.

     

    It's a fucking ad break, chill out.

    Or, failing that, some connection between Byron's dark wizardry and Chip Gardner's Satanic cult.

     

    I feel like Daly tried to link this character to Andi Callahan RN; a man who assumed the identity of a medical professional for twisted personal reasons. Scott maybe didn't make the connection. Back in episode 200 with Cactus Tony, it seemed like Scott tried to connect Andi with Cactus Tony but Mantzoukas jumped in and steered things in a bit of a different way.

     

    Andi Callahan just can't catch a break!

     

    Great episode though, probably Bob's best appearance. Hopefully I can grab a ticket to the Boston show.
