Wake up sheeple! If you rearrange the letters in EW Scripps, it spells WE Crisps, P.

10 things I think by Peter King SteveH I think I'm gonna post even though I've only listened to the first 43:47 of the ep. Thanks for spoiling the ending After 2 full minutes of soul searching, I've decided I support what JeffreyParties is doing (surprised?) Sean and Hayes became a full on classic comedy duo in this ep. Some might call this distasteful, or poor timing, but it needs to be said: Wilder and Pryor are small potatoes compared to Clements and Davenport. cookies is bread and mint is a plant should Jeff Parties be doing this? I'm happy Sean thought his joke about morse code being such a beautiful language was good enough to go back for. He was right. I think Robert Morse is dead, but he's not. That was just on the tv in the abstract, what JP is doing is funny, but do I really wanna see all those posts? It took me a long time to get here I don't think Sean and Hayes need guests. but i also like it when they do. I thought Brett lived in Austria?

I may not get that Far Side (I still don't. Even after I wrote that essay), but I DO Get all these wrong name jokes. That more than I could say for most of you dunces

I'm SO EMBARASSED!!!!!!!! I DIDN'T GET THE COMIC!! OK GUYS? I'M NOT SMART OR COOL OR FUNNY. HAVE A NICE LABOR DAY.

I was just kidding. I have a few thoughts on it... The cow itself is very zen, very much in the moment. This is an in-your-face, right now cow. He looks at you directly, confronting you straight on with his own goofy existence as if to say, “Here I am, a being that makes no sense, yet here I am. Deal with it.” The flat line for eyes is absolutely essential, symbolizing both the mental density and the bland inscrutability of a cow. One is tempted to wonder, why does a cow even have a brain? Yet it does. Go figure. Before the cow we see a table, upon which have been placed four objects for our consideration. The observer naturally wishes their significance to be explained. Request denied. These are “Cow Tools.” You tell me. Item 1: A kind of saw. For a cow?? Larsen reflected later that the first tool was a mistake, because it looked too much like a saw. I think he’s being too humble. The cow-saw is a wonderful start to a progression of increasingly vague and ambiguous objects. What would a cow need with a saw? Note that a cow’s ability to hold onto any of these objects is the least-emphasized factor. Item 2: Back scratcher? Grass hoe? The saw was fairly obvious, a bit of symbolic hand-holding. Now we enter the next level in this Twilight Zone. It’s some kind of pole ending with a couple curved tips, and a smaller one pointing the other way. Looks a little like a garden fork, possibly a cow back scratcher…Doesn’t this require, um, fingers? Item 3: Practice Udder? Or maybe cows play curling? The guesses necessarily become wilder, because the object is more ambiguous. A kind of cylindrical protrusion sticks out, but we’re not sure we even want to know what it’s supposed to be. Shame on you for even thinking that. Troubling, thus hilarious. Item 4: WTF?? Larsen finishes off the collection with the utterly vague kind of proto-tool that bedevils archaeologists. We’ve seen this before on science shows – a barely-altered lump of something that we are confidently told was used by primitive man for some exceedingly clever purpose, while we sit back and say, “Oh, really?” Meanwhile, we stumble over similar objects in our back yard, and there’s not a cow for miles. What Larsen did with a few apparently crude lines was to confront us with the sadly difficult job of interpreting artifacts. The cow represents the ultimately unknowable nature of whoever might have used the little objects we find strewn about at dusty digs around the world. Could Picasso have said it with more economy? Would it be funny? Now I apologize, for having explained the joke, I have systematically drained all the blood from its ability to elicit spontaneous laughter. However, having approached this singular masterpiece, it is my sincerest hope that Larsen’s other cartoons will be at least a bit more accessible. Sometimes it is not the answer that is funny, but the question.

I don't get it

Remember ClemDawg - this is what you asked for.

what are you guys still doing in here

I wish I had been told about this before revealing to the forum that I'm actually Liev Schreiber

I really get a kick out of Scott getting a kick out of something. Andy talking about the prostitute wanting him to wear a frilly hat or whatever was great.

sean was clearly making fun of something specific with that bit at the end about 'you guys are our advertising budget'

you're a wizard

i fast forward through the ads, but caught the tail end of one for the national guard? was that really an ad for the national guard? I could easily just go back and listen to it, but I choose to post on the forum instead.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Unless it's a large fish like a swordish or a tuna, he can probably get 4 or 5 good meals out of that

fuckmachine

Hi Paul- Being a handbook head, I'd like as much information as possible about the Sean & Hayes ep. However, I understand if you're saving the material for the book you're no doubt writing about your experience. We all know Sean and Hayes are the bad boys of Earwolf - did they demand that you break the usual format of your show and have no other improvisers on? Give me all the juicy deets.

I haven't finished yet, but so far this ep is straight up Dank. I'm talkin blue lightning kush, sour diesel, blue dream, white widow dank. p.s. this week, I would like to draft a forum comment about how you listened to a podcast episode in a public place and everyone was looking at you like you were crazy cause you were bussin up loffin

might I remind you that there may have been a time that you didn't recognize names such as Lauren Lapkus, Neil Campbell, Mike Hanford, Paul Rust, Jon Gabrus, Matt Gourley, John Gemberling, Claudia O'Doherty... SHALL I CONTINUE?

Did they record in July? Every time I listen to Spont, they seem to mention that they're recording the ep like a year before it's released.

I would love it if PFT was playing that part in the new Twin Peaks.

I finally understand why Hayes hates the environment so much

not only are sean and hayes on spont, but it's some kind of very special episode. None of PFT's merry band of improvisers are on the ep. Just 100% pure, unadulterated, unfiltered, farm to table sean and hayes baby

guys, drop everything. katie couric interviewed a guy who stopped using twitter ***SPOILER ALERT*** I read the episode description, and it says he's started using it again

I'm concerned about Cody. He appears to be wearing a winter coat in the episode photo. I'm on the east coast, but I'm pretty sure it's also August in LA. Cody - care to comment?
