    For those who listened, did Larry go into any history about his head injury at all? I remember when that happened it was super-iffy whether or not he'd be able to do anything afterward.

    He did not go into the head injury, nor was it asked. Larry seemed sharp, but he sounded a little frail. His stories were interesting but I was maybe a little over excited for this interview and found it somewhat dull and humorless. The guys were understandably reverential and didn't jack with him as much as they normally would, and when Jimmy occasionally tried, it seemed to fall on deaf ears. It didn't seem to be a great format for Larry Miller.

     

    In their defense, this was following a fantastic episode with Chip Pope!

    HEY EVERYONE I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ASKING YOURSELF: WHAT DOES POIKA THINK?!

     

    1) Great ep.

    2) I can still listen to a shit load of free content and pay a small fee for old content? Ok! I like these guys and am happy to support them.

    3) Fuck corporate America, but God bless the American dream where everything's free and we all get paid.

    4) Even the most cynical of you can dream that this is the nudge that Earwolf and Aukerman needed to begin producing new episodes of Mike Detective.

     

    Only for me and me personally, I will make like an REO Speedwagon and roll with the changes. I'll let the naysayers download their napsters and yell at Lars.

    Ugh. Finally got through the whole hilarious episode and finished it very bummed. I know it's selfish but my happy day of UTU2TM, Whooch, and Hooray Show got all its wind taken out of it.

     

    I also hope this doesn't affect Horatio's relationship with CBB and I4H, but Chad produces and edits one hell of a show and I look forward to more Hooray Show where ever it may turn up.

    YESSS! Thank you so much for getting the fantastic Rowdy Roddy Piper on the show. I know he has a very different rhythm and storytelling style than the comedians that are usually on The Country (or much of Earwolf), but he's so genuine and fun to listen to. Might be my favorite episode. :)

    I'm not a regular Sklar listener (love the show but I only have time for so many podcasts!) but having Rowdy Roddy on insures it will be in the rotation sometime in the next few days!

    I also really enjoyed this episode. I had never heard of Jimmy Pardo before CBB but have become a huge fan of him and his podcast. His appearance on UTU2TM was one of my favorite episodes of any podcast of all time. But I won't belabor my love of Pardo and his chemistry with Scott.

     

    Who knows- maybe Fitch was just a failed character- but for me, Fitch was a well played piece of anti-comedy and 'no-but'ting instead of 'yes-and'ing. Him making the other two jump through hoops until Scott's final meltdown had me laughing my ass off. Like Kickpuncher, I also was a little surprised by the negative reaction on the boards to both Pardo and Fitch, but it has certainly been a lot better back and forth than other divisive Earwolf podcast episodes!

    For anyone thinking about not listening to this particular episode because the comments in this thread are scaring you away- the case closed portion of the episode was far more civil than anything that is taking place on the boards here. Plus, this episode was a classic!

     

    Another point that I wanted to make is that I (as in me personally, not as in you all should feel the same way) think that there is a pretty big difference between an atheist being a curmudgeon about a holy roller football player and the righteous indignation of people who think they know the right and wrong time to use certain words they don't like.

     

    I really appreciated the bully argument more than anything and thought it did a good job of framing the discussion. One can use a plethora of words to insult someone, some more severe than others, but sometimes we all have to wonder if, by bullying, we're curing a headache by chopping off the head. The same could be said of some of the back and forth about this entire subject.

    This players' club was one of my favorite episodes of all time! Definitely one worth watching instead of listening to. Between Jimmy, J. Keith, Matt and the recorder, Garon on a stick, shitting on Eliot, the medical advice, the sports category on Sevens... I laughed as hard as I ever have at a podcast. I've never been happier that my finances are in order.
