    I think what makes the segments work is that Matt just goes all in. He doesn't pull back in the least and try to spare feelings or be subtle about any of it. "Why is Jeff picking up teenagers from other states?".

     

    If Matt gave Eric any slack, it wouldn't work because we all sort of want him to lay into him, but at the same time there is something so fun about a person who seems to work very hard, but has no interest in the amazing people and events happening around him. It's actually refreshing to think that a total non-comedy-nerd is sitting there watching all of this with no realy attachment or emotion. Where else can you find something like that? I bet that he is actually a God send for Jeff because he isn't being distracted by that pesky fandom that most other interns (as in...all of them) must be having.

    Here's (what I hope is) a constructive suggestion: instead of bringing youtube clips that often take a while to get to the point, why doesn't Aaron, the researcher, bring some published articles (not even academically published, but from Time or Popular Science) instead and summarize them or read the salient points. The gang doesn't need to immediately agree (skepticism makes for some good convo) but it gives a point to base the discussion.

     

    If not, I will still of course listen and enjoy the podcast. Please, someone register just to disagree with me.

     

    I think the idea of Aaron summarizing articles from Popular Science is not just a good idea, it is a GREAT IDEA! At least once, I want to hear what that would sound like. SOOOOO many gulps.

    My AC has been broken (here in Colorado) for two weeks. It was fixed yesterday for about an hour, then broke again. Between my angry children, my wife who has last all respect for me as a man (not much there to start with I know) and my own inability to sleep through sweating like a monster, I am having a really horrible few days. I finally got up this morning with two options. A) Leave and start a new life somewhere, or B) Burn down my house.

     

    Instead I downloaded this episode and as close to tears as I was, the first conversation about 'would you have sex with something that was two inches tall', actually had me laughing so hard that I forgot my worries. Thank you guys.

    I love what Scott is doing. He is really going to the roots of comedy of late, and hitting all these angles that are fully out of the mainstream. This is what CBB (and CDR) were all about. Just going for it. The fact that Earwolf is now becoming commercially successful (seriously, think about all the ads and all the things Earwolf stars are now in) but he is going even deeper into the rabbit hole makes me no end of happy. This is brillant.

    Eric was terrific. Like the other guy said, he bought in and went for it. "My show sucks d**k" and just stayed in that frame the whole time. I thought it was freaking hilarious. I notice all the hateful comments are by people with very few comments, so I am going to assume they are all Eric Andre making comments to mock himself.

    I have to call out Matt on something. As a lifelong sports fan, he should have known better than to predict that the Heat were 'about to be eliminated'. Not only is it a jinx to say that, but recording it on a podcast that didn't air until well after the series was over, secured that they would win that game and then that series.

     

    I personally blame him if they win the title this year, and for any titles they win going forward.

     

    By the way, another great episode.

    This is exactly what the podcast has the potential to be. It is great to have 'experts' on topics, but having people that are great personalities works so well. She was so in sync with you guys and her input was terrific. I thought she really nailed it and I was SHOCKED at how great it was.

     

    But I think one of the reasons it was so great was that Tig was really emotionally invested in this one. When that happens, it seems like everyone on the show responds in kind and it just takes the whole thing to a different level.

    I don't know what I can say about this show anymore. It is just so perfect. Growing up near Dallas and being a huge Texas Rangers fan, I almost stop breathing when I heard a Pete Incaviglia reference.

     

    Oh, and again, Dan's timing is so great.

    Great episode! All of the characters were "on." I'm fighting the urge to post a ton of my favorite one-liners.

     

    What was it about this one? The one-liners were all memorable. Just a terrific episode with a great character interaction. I think the three 'reality' stars were played off each other like nothing I've heard on this show before.

    I've shared this episode with more people than usual, because I found the breakdown by Matt about the idea of 'the faceless forum' interesting. The idea that he had someone come in and defend their ideas is something I would like to see well beyond just this message board. Wouldn't it be great if other areas of the internet had this?
