Real talk, Michael needs a crapload of thanks and love for putting together an episode that stands as a strong contender for GOAT. I was doubled over in laughter in a Walmart parking lot and worrying people around me.

They call me a two-pump chump, but I just don't want that much ketchup.

It was on the NBC feed, but not on Hulu. I was also disappointed until I learned that.

God, Aziz's post is amazing. I've been devastated all day and finally came here just...I dunno. No one else I know really knows who Harris was because they're not podcast/comedy nerds so it's been really hard to express myself. Yeah, he was just a silly, C-list comedian and writer who I never met but I took it a lot harder than I would've expected. Ugh. RIP Harris.

Guys. I have never felt more blessed than when Len Wiseman mockingly described the joke in my name. Holy shit. I was late in listening to this ep because I just had a kid this weekend and basically this is my Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins.

!

Valentine's Day is going to be the Gilly/Garry wedding you guys I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. Also, I think Jack did pretty okay for a dude who's clearly not a comedian nor even a comedy nerd of any sort. I sometimes dig serious interviews on this show and they went to some weird places and even got Choctaw to unironically say "Check your privilege, bro." That's some shit!

My only answer is that it was sarcasm. Like calling a huge dude 'Tiny' or Stallone a 'great actor'.

It's pretty SNL heavy, but so was the internet's dream cast. I guess I can't fault the show for catapulting the careers of so many fantastic funny women.

Goodness, people. It's hard enough for a major studio to find four funny women, but now you want them to not all be white?! IMPOSSIBLE.

She should totally come on as an Andy Daly-esque tour de force whirlwind of characs.

Freaking hilarious, but I feel like whenever Wild Horses shows up anywhere, they are always like...5 minutes away from becoming an orgy. Am I just projecting?

I totally understand Adomian's view on doing recently dead people as characs. I think, though, everyone who knows who Huell Howser is genuinely loves him as much as James does. His version never seemed mean-spirited even though it was making fun of the dude for his weird naive love of absolutely goddamn everything, because that's the exact reason everyone loved Huell in the first place.

He was there to promote his new movie. It was a coming-of-age story about a mayfly- took him a whole day to film.

Did you just imply that PFT wears t-shirts to bed? This is the only thing he could possibly wear to bed.

I'd fallen out of having WSG on my weekly listen and this episode told me that I was wrong and stupid for doing that. Great goddamn ep.

Guys, what made the Solo Bolo special is that it was intentional. The Maron and Rogen episodes were not, they had a charac guest drop out at the last minute and couldn't fill it.

For example, if I want to get someone into Doctor Who, I show them Blink. It hits all the right notes: it's very good, it's very Doctor Who-y, but it stands alone without any previous knowledge of mythology or characters required. Similarly, the best introductory episode of CBB shouldn't be steeped in character mythology, should be representative of the show, and should be good but accessible.

If you tell a joke in German, is it still a joke?

I watch the TV show, but I think it's the structure that brings it down compared to the podcast, namely that there even is one. I think British panel shows would've been a better format to aim for, honestly, but it's still super watchable and fun.

I totally understand that. Tiny and Victor don't exhaust me, though, just because I think it's easy for me to forget that they're entirely Brendon Small somehow. The joke in the holiday episode about how Tiny and Victor never speak at the same time caught me completely off guard because I forget it's just one dude so quickly. Whereas Oh Golly, You Devil, I could feel the effort Andy was putting in, which was entirely appreciated and hilarious, but still sort of exhausting to me

SOCK IT TO MEEE?! WITH SCIENCE?!

He clearly should just go ahead and make PFT his Ed McMahon/Andy Richter/Geoff for the second half of the year.

Feelin' blue that Reggie is joining the Late Late Show, leaving his presence on the TV show up in the air?

Oh but the actual discussions about how the sausage was made and all that stuff is amazing and maybe made this the best Best Of year ever.
