That may have been one of that last phone calls collected by the NSA. Congrats you're a part of history https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsas-bulk-collection-of-americans-phone-records-ends-sunday/2015/11/27/75dc62e2-9546-11e5-a2d6-f57908580b1f_story.html this joke might not make sense because I don't always understand the news.

Everyone was super nice and funny and charming. I have to agree that this might be the best of the call-in eps. Who was the Andrew impersonator? That was probably my favorite. They even had their own personal Hayes-Laugher in the background!

I've always said coincidences are like buttholes. Sometimes they happen and it's a surprise

Glad the AV Club has their priorities straight. Looks like they spent a lot more time on their podcast awards than they did putting together their albums of the year. Music is so over.

As we all know, it's the end of the year and time to choose the best of 2015. Of course, all eps that aired from thanksgiving 2014 to thankgiving 2015 are eligible. I spent a lot of time making my choices, so without further ado....

I said FOR EXAMPLE. Of course I don't really wanna see a Capybara's dick. That would be crazy. HAHA can you imagine? A guy that just sits there at work, zoning out, and thinking about what different animal dicks must look like? And then that guy seeing a picture of a capybara and being all like "oh man i'm really curious about what that thing's dick looks like. Is it inside? like a cat? If only there was a website..." and then he looks at the clock and it's 5 so he can go home. but then he's still thinking about what a capybara's dick might look like the whole ride home. And then he gets to the daycare to pick up his son and he's like "ok. get it together, Steve bro. You're a father. You can't be thinking about Capybara's dicks all day." And then he just keeps wondering because he doesn't even wanna look it up on his home computer because it's such a weird thing. Is it though? I mean, it's just curiousity. Why do we have to sexualize everything in this culture? It's just a part of the anatomy like anything else. Why can't I be interested in the anatomy of animals?

Were you the valeDicktorian? You just got roasted, son.

I had to look up parity, but once I did...solid joke.

I was wondering today whether there was a website that's basically just a photo encyclopedia of the dicks of every animal. Not like porn stuff, but just a helpful resource if you were wondering what a Capybara's dick looked like, for example. It probably does exist, but I'm too afraid to google it. wikidicks?

was just re-listening to this one today. I didn't realize that the genesis of the Middleditch + Lapkus ep happened on this ep. "Al Gore has rhythm in 3/4 time. 3+4=7. 7 washington avenue! that's where the national treasure is! let's go!"

I'm not sure why, but this sentence immediately triggered a reaction of pure, profound sadness in me. Probably because I'll bet you never got to meet one of those critters and the thought of a small boy hugging a cold, flat image of a cute little critter and never getting to meet the real thing is heart-breaking. Please tell me you got to hug a real one.

I'm the commish. and don't you forget it.

was listening this morning on the way to work. You sing like an angel. Like a Canadian angel.

I'm still working it out. I'll let you guys know. update: HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Totally worth it!

2nd time Scott made that reference, 2nd time I had no idea what he was talking about. Based on that picture, I guess it is exactly what I guessed it would be though, which is a giant japanese baby.

dope ep. Earwolf employees were great, and one of my favorite pre-guest segments in a while. congratulations everyone. you did it!

you take one week off for a holiday and this is what happens. Guess I need to tell my 1 employee that he can't have Christmas off after all. Thank you, AV Club, for making me worse than Mr. Scrooge

One of the many facets of Randy Travels accent seemed to be a bad George St. Geegland impression

Don't worry about it. Things were never the same for me after my son and I appeared on episode #78 of hollywood handbag. Immediately after I hung up the phone, we were both still so high from our taste of fame, we got in the car, drove to New York and hired an agent, a manager, an acting coach, a vocal coach, and a publicist. We got headshots, $200 haircuts and my son demanded we hire a personal trainer. I maxed out 3 credit cards and drained my 401K that I had been paying into for 10 years all in one whirlwind afternoon. What they don't tell you is that Earwolf doesn't pay you an appearance fee. I thought it would be OK to blow through all that money because we'd make it back and then some once the other gigs started coming in. 7 months later and I'm $40K in debt, no savings, no acting gigs on the horizon. I got divorced and remarried twice. My son won't speak to me. I got addicted to online mahjong. Been in and out of rehab. Appearing on a call-in show is not all it's cracked up to be.

I can help you laugh at it. HAHAHAHAHA

I'll probably be eating dinner then. Can we do a different time? I know about almost all the news. Thanks.

Too sweaty

guys I made my profile christmas themed in protest of the war on christmas that is a real thing that's happening here in america. I also support building a database of all retail employees who don't say "merry christmas" to me when I'm shopping edit: that was my 1500th post! I guess I feel pretty good about it

a robot makes the schedule, not me. Maybe Hayes knows him.
