I've been waiting for years to have someone simply reference Spock's brother Sybok, but to have Anthony reference Laurence Luckinbill, the actor who played Sybok? Well, that just sent my heart soaring straight to Sha Ka Ree!

Doubt about that. Maybe everyone was just dick hung while they were listenin' to this ep and needed a bite to eat or something, cause just the premise of making a character based on that one line from Back to the Future was enough to make me laugh multiple times. Marvin Phelps was dick funny. Zouks was dick on point, and doubt Larry must get dick lonely out there on the road.

I love a good BLT.

She knocked it out of the park... in fair territory! Home run, is what I'm saying.

Doubt, Eugene's guns are dick swoll.

Doubt, this ep was dick git. Brendon is an amazing talent. The guy blows my mind with how quickly he switches between characters and still comes up with hilarious stuff on the fly. Guy's dick git. I better get some lunch, I'm dick hung.

I've regularly said it to people, whether they know what I'm talking about or not. You just gotta give BIG UPS to people of ALL stars & stripes.

Thank you so much for tracking that down. I think that had been buried in my mind, and it just unlocked some great memories. I love how everyone on the podcast that day was cracking up at that particular plugs theme. It also reminded me to re-listen to the Eugene Cordero Filipino Blockbuster (aka "Pilipino Blockbuster") ep: http://www.earwolf.com/episode/filipino-blockbuster/. I cannot stop laughing during that whole character's segment of the show (starts around 19:30). The way Tito Ben emphasizes certain words has me rolling.

Just want to give BIG UPS to all of you who love "Big ups to people of all stars and stripes", because that's one of my favorite CBB lines as well. Great T-shirt mock-up as well. Big ups on that one.

I'm right there with you. I actually didn't mind Gilbert Gottfried as much as everyone else seemed to, although I recognize he has an obviously grating voice. His Thicke of the Night singing was hilarious, and while I can't remember exactly what his off-color Cosby joke was from that episode, I do remember it made me laugh uncontrollably, even though I knew it was one of those jokes where I felt bad for finding it funny. The Trump character that episode was amazing too.

I completely agree. I have no problem with people having differing opinions, but what's the point of going on a message board/forum to just post "This EP sucked", or something to that effect, without giving any context? At that point, you're sort of just trolling, so any backlash you get in response is fine by me. I think Nick Kroll was so apologetic about his performance that it undermined things. I thought the EP was hilarious, even if it didn't have a really polished/structured character arc and sort of rambled.

This just feels like a blatant 90-minute-low-ticket-price-45-minutes-afterward-put-it-up-for-practically-free-(or-free-if-you're-doing-the-free-trial) kind of cash grab to me.

I'm confused, is that "mmmmm", or was it supposed to be "hmmmm"? If the former, it's such a mixed message, like you found it yummy, but you didn't like the man brat angle? Such a tease!

No way, you should ABSOLUTELY print it and frame it. Just make sure it's one of those super cheap frames from IKEA or Marshalls or something though.

I'd say if you went out of your way to post about the fact you "Hated" the first Kid Detectives episode under the guise of asking people if it was any better, you sort of knew what you were getting into. That being said, I didn't really see that many people who were pissed off. I think they were more pointing out the fact you're in the minority of CBB fans when it comes to liking/disliking the Irish twins. Also, next time you want to know whether you should listen to an episode ahead of time, I'd recommend going to Alaska to search for clues first.

Knowing how awesome Middleditch is, you're probably right that he was directly referencing Willow (which is an awesome movie) with how specifically he used "consult" the bones, although the whole concept of "throwing" and "reading" the bones is a real thing that happened in ancient cultures (it might even still be done in voodoo type stuff). I think there was a scene about it with the witch in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves as well, although that came out years after Willow. If anyone hasn't seen Willow, I highly recommend watching it. Val Kilmer in his glory years, and some awesome character names, along with a fair amount of unintentionally funny lines. Bottom line is that Thomas Middeditch is freaking hilarious and amazingly quick-witted though, so you're probably spot on about him referencing Willow. He's been great since he first came on Comedy Bing-Bongs. His Joey Tortellini character instantly shot to the top of my list when he came on the show last year (James Adomian and Andy Daly used to dominate my favorite characters list). I know he had been doing improv for years before that, but I didn't know much about him before Silicon Balley's.

So cool. If I got props from Thomas Middleditch on Twitter, I'd take a week vacation in the Bahamas to celebrate. Also, big ups to Klems of all Stars and Stripes.

This is really awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Impressive how official you made the box & logo look. Can't wait to play the game!

Good stuff. Thanks for the Ireland Facts... Lad.

Lauren Lapkus has obviously been established on the show for a long time as having great chemistry with Scott, so it's always good times to hear her on the show, and Thomas Middleditch is an amazing ball of talent. Can't go wrong with these guys. "These guys" = two words. The next clue is in Alaska!

That typo could be a catchphrase. Needles to say.

Seriously. Bill Callahan may be a very talented musician (he's not my cup of tea exactly, although I like plenty of artists that could be called similarly depressing in their own right - Red House Painters, Elliott Smith, etc.), but he doesn't seem to be very quick on his feet when it comes to answering questions, let alone any form of improv. 90% of the questions Scott asked him received a "Yeh", "Uh huh", or similar one-word answer. He didn't really add much to the podcast beyond the songs he played, but I suppose that's not his job. Ducca, on the other hand, was solid gold, as always.
