  1. Ooo, I'm very excited for this topic. And it gives a chance for Kyle to go back to his riddle roots when they were often filled with counting.

     

    Alas...

     

    If eating is "cramming DNA into DNA", does that make it the biological equivalent of a hat on a hat?

     

    Where is that Kyle/Radcliffe photo we were promised?


  2. Hey Matt (or Brett), just curious about the production aspect of this Case Closed, which I found pretty fascinating overall - Was the call with the guests done all in one shot, then all the improv scenes, which were then edited into the call at the appropriate times? Seems like a good way to do it, particularly if the guests are journalists who might not have time to sit through a 5-minute scene rather than just fans of the show, especially if it lets you get more in-depth with the interviews rather than having to pause to do scenes.


  3.  

    Excuse my ignorance, but what is this podcast about then? I always thought it was about music.

     

    Not exactly. They do one music chart and one movie chart per episode, but those are more of a jumping-off point for an interview with the guest and general shenanigans than a topic for any sort of real discussion.


  4. I've never listened to this podcast, as I am not huge into music.

     

    As my evening time set aside for SimCity has now opened up, I'll be watching the livestream, and hopefully enjoying it. If so, it looks like I will have a lot of catching up to do.

     

    You don't have to be into music at all. In fact, it's probably better if you're not.


  5. scotts soo nice we got bang bang twice.... sorry

     

    This week was a real four-banger!

     

    This episode made me after-noodles.

     

    I would have been even more after-noodles if during Plugs, or at any other point, someone would have mentioned that Eugene is one of the stars of one of the five funniest shows on television.


  6. Happy to see some dissenting opinions to the negativity that I assumed was coming when I saw how many comments this thread had. All three participants were clearly having a lot of fun, and we got to know more about the wonderful enigma that is Howard Kremer. Not every guest is going to be Paul F. Tompkins, so I don't see any reason to react negatively to someone just because they bring a different vibe and aren't good at improv games. I probably wouldn't enjoy hanging out with GC for a night of his chosen activities either, but I have no problem being invited to listen to a podcast where he's doing (maybe) half of the talking.

  7. I think Jon Daly's improv card should be under review for "California Williams."

     

    I agree, as long as the people reviewing it are the Improviser of the Year Selection Committee.

     

    My favorite aspect of this episode, especially once they acknowledged and made fun of it, was that Scott clearly knew more about the Chili Peppers than Jon or Zach did.

  8. Loved the episode - I thought it was cool how he mentioned Larry Hankin. He is always fun to spot in different shows - for example he works at the junkyard in Breaking Bad and was seen in the YEAH MAGNETS episode.

     

    It's always been stuck in my head that the name of the actor he played (who played Kramer in Jerry & George's pilot) on Seinfeld was "Tom Pepper", and I guess since that was an actor, I always think of "Tom Pepper" as the real person's name. He always has a great deadpan delivery.


  9. Great show, guys. "Mark Few is the demon leader of the underworld" is one of the funniest lines to ever grace the calming shores. Good stuff from Glaser, too. "Punderdome" sounds amazing.

     

    Regarding the Li'l Wayne thing:

    1) I don't think his gesture was "finger guns", but rather some sort of "I have a gun" gesture, like maybe pantomiming starting to pull one out of his waistband.

    2) There are a ton of events during All-Star weekend in the same city as the All-Star Game which are not sanctioned by the NBA (just like Super Bowl weekend), so he must have been performing at one of these.

     

    Sorry to hear about your family's loss, Randy. I think it was coincidental since the Glaser interview seems to have been taped earlier, but hearing the Sklars and Glaser lovingly discuss their kids a lot on this show was a nice counterpoint to that opening.
