I did not like that So I Married An Van Helsing: A Skellington's Kiss included so many scenes with people talking about how college is difficult. It felt like Paul Scheer was a hypocrite because he wanted shows to not talk down to their audience. Once was fine and seemed like he wanted to be relatable and truly understood the struggle, but twice and it really seemed like having that in there was patronizing. Not all of us can be coastal snobs with a high quality private schooling so some of have a tough time with pop quizzes.
I am sorry to say it, but it made me real pissed.

Biggest bummer is that there wasn't more Connor Ratliff.

Amazing roster of guests.

Putting in a nomination for Mike Watt as best bass player.
Also putting in a nomination for John Roy to come back someday. His energy brought out a lot of great moments. Every time that I hear the guy, it makes complete sense to me why him and Adomian write together.

If Besser managed to have the Mountain Goats on an episode I think I would be able to die happy.
They're playing in L.A. on June 17 FYI.
That would be an absolute dream. I can't imagine someone that would be able to elucidate the stories behind the songs better.

Gabrus was pushing real hard for a Schrodinger's Cat Costume thing.

Really great episode. Feel like they truly got to the core of Pet Peeves and some funny things happened, but also some touching ones.

Bill Callahan?! HOLY SHIT! That is someone I never expected to hear on CBB. You guys continue to surprise and thrill me.
Right? Smog, guys! Who woulda ever thought that would happen?

Howard's exasperation made for some great laughs. Mark this one down in the "Hardship Creates Great Art" column.

Howie singing XTC brought me a lot of joy.

Thanks so much for these past 100+ episodes, Matt. Can't think of any podcasts that are as generous and bring me as much enjoyment.

Did Besser and Mohr coordinate their shorts and shoes or is that just how dads dress?

They missed the opportunity for a "Computer Blue" joke in the Jesus scene.
"Is the water warm enough?"
"Yes, Mila."
Incredible episode.

The clear bridge between "Microphone" and "Pineapple" is Telefrancais, yes? Ananas always had that goofy microphone.

Episode 59 — Paul Scheer, Our Close Friend
in Hollywood Handbook
Posted
Listen, I wanted to apologize about my eariler incendiary post about Paul Scheer and his script. I didn't really mean what I said. My aim was just to get a reaction. I wanted my first HH post to make a big splash like the Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah mermaid movie Splash or the reality competion diving show Splash. Turned out it was a disaster like the comedy movie It's A Disaster. I'll try harder next time.
