God I hope this is true.

I just don't know what to say anymore about the 'County'. It is everything I want from a Sklar Brothers podcast. The Tom Brady story today was simply perfect. The Boston accents (disappointed Mark W. didn't come in there) were great. The old lady, "I'm just waiting until they call my name for my prescription, until them I'm gonna stare at this jerk-off." Everything about this show is perfect. By the way, I don't want to speak out of school. But I took my kids to bowling camp today, the last day of it. Well, today was the big 'final game' between The Brighton Butterflies and the Denver Dragons. Well, my girls were on the Butterflies team and we ended up losing. Why you ask? Well about the sixth frame some little kid on the Dragons went down with an 'injury' and who should pop out of the bathroom between the claw machine and the pro store? You guessed it, f*cking TO. I can't blame it (the loss) all on him though. During the ninth frame he got upset about the kind of root beer someone brought him and threw it in six year old Katie's face. Then said something about people not getting him the 'ball' enough, which made me think he didn't fully understand the game. Then he grabbed what I can only guess he thought was a bottle of prescription pills and downed them all at once. Of course it was just a cup of NERDS candy we keep for the kids to snack on so he promptly threw them up onto another child. Then he cried uncontrollably in the middle of the lane. In the end he finally just sort of wandered away. He did however grab about sixteen trophies from the pro shop before rushing out the door. The guy who ran the shop told me that’s like $26.00 worth of merchandise. Either way we still lost and he got banned from the league. On our way home I saw him tackling someone at a Frisbee Golf course. He looked good. He’s still got mad speed. Memories!

This was gold. I thought it was just a bonus episode so when I turned it on I couldn't believe it. The fact that they don't take time off, but rather give us stuff that, in truth, we probably don't deserve, is wonderful. I think the 'Guy who can't learn pacing' is maybe my favorite skit of all time. But the Spelling Bee was right up there. Seriously, thank you Matt and Earwolf for giving this to us. I totally concur with SorryKansas.com, this could easily have been a pay episode. Simply brilliant. BOSS! BOSS!

It is great hearing Tig just lose it when laughing like that. I like Emily as a guest. She knows her stuff but also seems so very geniune. Did anyone else get a cold chill at the end with Tig talking about New York? She said she would be back in '5-6 months'? I'm very, very scared.

I love how Jason goes off on MJ's Broadway performance. I look so forward to these shows so much. God bless HDTGM. Every one. Oh, and HOLY CRAP, the talk about Ursula. "She's definitely on the spectrum...but in a super sexy way." That was perhaps the hardest I've ever laughed at this show.

I want to see her get a spinoff show where she looks for love.

Did you see the BL episode today? Looks like she's found the 'one'.

I think that was the most engaged a group has ever been on WYR. I loved the ending. "Were you going to say something right before plugs?" "Yeah, now that I lost all my points, f*&k all of you."

Scott was right. That was a terrible shirt.

I think the part that made me laugh the hardest is the scene where he is trying to kiss her in the sauna and she just keeps pushing her forehead further down. She is brilliant.

I think you are the one going for a 'bit much' there. Saying a woman was 'asking for it' has been used as a classic defense for rape, but in this instance we were talking about his continued uncomfortable behavior. Kulap was pushing the interview forward and he turned it into a strange, hyper-sexual thing. She ‘asked’ for him to give an example of what he was talking about. She didn’t ‘ask’ for him to make everyone in the room, and then listening, uncomfortable. She didn't 'ask' for him to keep going for so long that it became apparent that it was more than just an answer to a question. Don't try and undermine a legitimate argument by going to extremes. Trying to equate our desire for basic civility with us implying that she was ‘raped’ is beyond ridiculous. And Mart, in case you didn't notice, it was a woman who first said the 'asking for it' thing. In the end it doesn't matter what we, as men, feel. It matters that at least one woman felt that way. It's important for us to not be focused on what we feel or think, but understand with deep empathy what may make anyone feel uncomfortable. As a father of two girls, I know that if a man behaved like this with me present, toward my girls, I would feel EXACTLY like something very bad, and very much in need of dialog, had occured. Then again, if a man ever tried to take one of my girls out on a date that was 'folding laundry', I would hope she would know that's probably not a great date.

YES! That was really weird. For someone who seems to do no research himself, it was strange for him to be focused on 'all those' people who interview him without research.

You know what would be cool? If they added a new section to I4H that had Matt talking to guys like you, people starting out in the Improv life and what it looks/sounds like early on.

You know what makes me like Howad and Kulap so much? How genuine they are. I really appreciate the fact that Kulap loved the song made for her on the Todd Glass Show so much that she played it here again and again. Seriously. That shows me again just how much Kulap loves what she is doing and appreciates where she is. Howard's super positive response to it was great too. He could have been sarcastic or snotty like other comedians might be, but he acted very impressed and encouraging of how nice it was for them to do that. Then, Howard's referring to Todd Glass as a national treasure and Kulap's pushing of people to support Todd was really refreshing. He hasn't been on the show, he is on a rival network, and yet they still went to great lengths to talk about him. This is what makes them so wonderful and so much fun to listen to. In Brody's words, POSITIVE ENERGY! BTW, I'm starting a campaign to get all of the EarWolf people out to Denver Comic Con next year. Come on guys! PS: Why is Kulap being forced to wait in lines at SDCC? She's Kulap. She goes straight to the front of the line.

Me wearing my HENDERSON! shirt at my dauther's birthday party. I'm pretty sure she was crying over the singing. Not the shirt.

And by the way. Segal. Please...PLEASE, have Dan do him much more often. The Kon'nichiwa to start was great (I loved that the Sklars had trouble keeping it together), but when he started ordering the donuts, I lost it.

Is it possible the Chris Gore thing is just a big work? I can't imagine that this man really is this horrible and stupid in real life.

The way her storyline ended on the final episode was priceless. "I'm all broken up inside" or whatever she said...just perfect.

This seals the deal. Janet is one of the best out there currently. I think she ended up being the highlight of Burning Love and once more her timing on today's show showed just how amazing she is. Fan for life.

I think the line of the show was in reference to toes, "Really, who needs balance anymore? I mean, take a seat already." That just made my day. Did anyone else think that all the 'I did a little improv' jokes early on in the one sketch were in reference to the Gore debate?

Yes. Yes you are. Two things. 1) There is no way Kulap could have guessed that inviting him to go on with that topic would have resulted in a twenty minute speech that was a how-to guide for serial killers. Except with serial killers, the story ends with killing someone, and his ended with, 'but I want a meaningful relationship'. 2) There were two specific things that struck me-his surprise at finding out Kulap was married and his referring to her as a 'hot comic book girl fan' or whatever he said. Both, very unsettling. But more than that, what I didn't care for was how important 'he' was. When Kulap chimed in that comics were made for people like her, he completly glossed over it, almost mockingly so 'well, for guys like me'. I was very impressed with Kulap for not pulling out the, 'oh, are you on the cover of a DC comic right now?' line. I can see where people would wonder if he wasn't just trying to make his point clear at the start, but the entire show he gave off a weird vibe. All in all, his knowledge of the show (lack of it) his bizarre rambling nature, his creepy dedication to finding out where The Smashing Pumpkins were on the charts, and more, made me dislike him as a guest. Oh, and one more thing. To pull up what Kulap said in an ealier show about Fassbender is a little distatseful. Women can say whatever they want about crushes, and she can say whatever she wants in terms of a comedic take on celebrity crushes. That in no way means that hence forth she is allowed to be treated with disrespect on sexual topics and don't get me wrong, I don't think that's what you meant, but people will take it to mean that once a woman expresses in interest in sex then from there out, she's open game. You're better than that. We're better than that and yes this is a comedy podcast but guess what, we're all adults and we can behave as such when the time arrises. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gunna go have a summah.

Yeah, Chris Gore was a little weird. Movies section was good, except I didn't like all the dumping on TED. I've never heard them dump on any comedy before, so it sort of threw me for a loop.

I could care less if any show ever actually talks about any of the topics in the future and I demand that all future discussions about quantum physics begin with a heated debate about who is who in terms of The Breakfast Club casting equals.

Every week I feel so lucky that we have access to the Sklars and Dan interacting. Still best thing going on Earwolf.

"The sequel that broke the franchise." I think that is perhaps the best summary of the movie that could be made. I was so excited to see them putting Venom on the screen...and then...not.
