    Great, great episode. Everything was hilarious and Shaun is quickly becoming one of the greats and Peter was hilariously odd. His Alan Alda auditioning for Star Wars had me in tears. The first insta-relisten of the year. I hope people listen to it because it deserves to be in the top ten.

    Yessss. I was waiting for them to include it and was so bummed when they didn't. One of my favorite CBB moments of the year. Scott's apprehension toward the bit really makes it even better.

    Yeah, that was a shame b/c I think this was the bit that made me laugh the most this year. I esp. loved how uncomfortable Scott was with it and how Middledich just plowed ahead anyway (with Martin Starr goading him).

    I'm guessing that it falls under "this is not that kind of show" for Scott ...

    Great ep.

    Nick Kroll is a phenomenal improviser.

    The mailer daemon - I was sure that was something that he had planned. But then you realize he just took it from a silly aside and formed a full-fledged insane character on the spot. And then managed to insert that into the heynongman-verse without it being clear at all if he actually knew much/anything about it.

    Then cornered by Scott into a potentially offensive/racist impression of Conrad Murray he side-stepped it hilariously with that ridiculous baby voice - very funny stuff. And the wall accidents were great...

    Personally it sucks perhaps that Kroll is less busy now that he stopped his show but for us, selfish fans, it's great to have one of the CBB greats back on the show. Hopefully he'll come by more often now.

     

    Also, now that Scott is dead, looking forward to see who the new host might invite... I wonder if perhaps we might be graced by a visit from Lucian Charms, President of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and famous Belfast pirate.

    Love Kumail and Martin Starr. But I only knew Middleditch from Silicon Valley so I had NO idea he would be that fu&*ing funny. Joey Tortellini from Sudan?!? And the backstory, on the fly?! I was in tears. That was Andy Daly caliber insanity there.

    And the China calls, oh my, I laughed so hard with Scott desp trying to stop them but just giving in to the hilarious silliness.

    And I loved that Kumail laughed so hard he ended up with hiccups. That's exacly how I felt by the end.

     

    *bookmarked for the end of the year.

    Great episode overall. Claudia's Kim Cattrall was fantastic.

    The Ads were great. Sean and Hayes and Kumail(!!!) were fantastic. When Kumail joined in I just knew my days of FF were over. Great move Scott! Hope the advertisers appreciate it.

    Stars: yeah, I know... a little bit chatty but great musicians. And the last song (Look Away) got to me - may get the CBB bump from me.

    I think Stars just didn't know the rhythm of the show. It was probably tricky for Scott at that point to tell them and he strenously tried to control it (via direct questions to the characters) and it got better as the show progressed. I think Scott did a great job of handling a tricky situation - this is to be expected from non-comedian guests, especially if the don't already know the show. Not every band can be "Tears for Fears". Claudia and Brian handled it like pros (the way that Claudia responded to the "Mum" thing was great) and I enjoyed it through and through. No harm, no foul.

    This is just one of those episodes you finish and then immediately start again. 1st CBB in a while that had me literaly in tears.

    I can't believe I had never heard Pepi. Ok, it's time. I have to listen to Nine Sweaters.

    Nosferatu skips in... "Bon Soir!". 5 secs of audible guffaws from the entire cast. And me in tears.

     

    Michael, you may be a corporate litigator but all is forgiven for bringing this dream cast together. Great job. C+!

    Unforgetable episode. For all the reasons - right and wrong. Scott did the right thing to release it and Brett and staff did a heroic job of putting it together. I laughed, I groaned, I choked up. I gasped at the dark stuff, in our current context. Finally, the Outro was incredibly touching. You truly did the best of a terrible situation.

     

    Hard to believe this ep was just there, just recorded. And that P&R ends tomorrow. The mind reels.

    I just keep hoping that this is a giant, crazy stunt on his part.

    Disconcerting but fascinating to hear about how the bread was made. Also, touching/sweet how earnest/sincere Scott and PFT became at the end of the show. The vibe was almost like the end of an era. Which was a little disconcerting for all of us I think - because it's hard to imagine a world without CBB!

     

    The amount of work that Daly and the rest of the crew put into the Golly episodes was staggering. Deserves that on the sheer tour de force. You could feel a similar pressure on Time Bobby 3. To me I appreciate the virtuosity that Daly and PFT bring to these shows but they can feel a little exhausting. I'm glad they're changing gears and refreshing their roster.

     

    "Snubs": Any Intern Gino episode and the Pie Minister Episode. Both awesome and hope to hear from them again next year.

     

    Finally, I'll say that as great as some of these episodes were (to me I laughed the hardest at Tiny and Victor's podcast) my single favorite comedy event of the year was hands down, The Travel Bug with August Lindt. Award-winning stuff.

    Holy crap. I'm not even 1/2 done and already this is already amazing. Everybody losing it in the backgrount.. PFT in the background with trademark cackles while TfF describe their songs. Reggie and TfF losing it over Pie Minister.

    And,Tears for Fears are awesome - very funny and great sports. Their description of the making of Everyone Wants to Rule the World had me with an ear-to-ear grin the whole time. Hilarious and I have no idea what parts were sincere, what parts were made up on the spot.

    Ok, back to the Pie Minister. Brilliant spin on the Cake Boss trope. PFT, as always, delivers a home run.

    Also, trying to figure out the odds are that someone (esp. the Brits on the show) say "Yes, Pie Minister" at some point in the show.

    I'm glad to see a number of people mentioning this. I have such a vivid memory of bursting into laughter while walking through town during that part. It just caught me so hard, I didn't even have time to realise or feel anxious about looking like a crazy person as a generally do when muffling podcast laughs in public. :P Incredibly funny bit!

    Same here. I still remember the stretch of the highway I was one when this came on. It was hard driving through the tears... :-)

    I'm glad Scot and Scot decided to release this now. They nailed it on the head about the media reporting on the album.

    The Scots' review convinced me to listen to it and I was very pleasantly surprised as I know a huge audience is as well. But that story is not as interesting as the "backlash" angle, which has been ridiculous. And now today I see "reported" is that the Black Keys drummer is "slamming" U2's release strategy that it's "devaluing" their music.

    Yes, they have devalued their music just as a HUGE audience gets to listen to them for the 1st time (or the 1st time in a long time) and the sales of ALL their backlog jumps up and a new generation is primed to WANT to listen to their follow up. Riiiight...

    Loudon is a pretty funny guy and obviously a great musician. What a shame that "Here Come the Choppers" is not on iTunes though. That was a fantastic rendition. And based on what I'm reading here the CBB bump would have been significant - what a wasted opportunity! Fix it somehow LWIII and CBB!!

    Same here. The most prized file that sits on my iPhone. I've lost count of the number times I've listened to it - probably an average of every 2 weeks since it came out. I'm getting close to memorizing the whole thing. And - here's the thing - I smile and laugh all the way through everytime. A miracle.

     

    I forget who said it this thread but, I agree, this episode deserves a Pulitzer. It seems crazy to say something like that but it's no hyperbole - this thing deserves to be known outside of the world of podcasting. It is the greatest hour(s) of entertainment, of any form, I've heard in many years.

    One of those instant re-listens.

    Gino is really good. Great chemistry with Scott.

    And Brandon Small is amazing. Those characters are so crazy weird. What the hell are those accents?!? The insane cheeseburger "story" and the singing... Very funny.

    Hope to hear Tiny and Victor Diamond again.

    Hope this episode doesn't fall through the cracks - early candidate for best of next year!

    I have to say this is the greatest thing I ever listened to and I'm still listening to it in May 2013 and will continue listening to it probably forever or at least until I die.

     

    Same here. I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to this episode.

    A worthya sequel to Time Bobby I. I had to turn it off after 15 minutes and pull over b/c it was becoming dangerous to drive. Moynihan's Fourvel once again knocks it out of the park and I'm just in awe of PFT's talent. He is never not funny, erudite, and entertaining. Mostly, I just marvel at Scott and PFT's chemistry. Just unbelievable - what is it - are they like long, lost twins or friends since 1st grade? Soulmates? They are always on the same wavelength, completing each other sentences, and just having a hell of a good time. A treasure.
