    EPISODE 255 — An All New Era

    Maybe I missed the show where they explained this, but I don't really understand this new format. It seems like the problem with Who Charted - if there was a problem - was that that the charts stayed the same for so long, leading to the hosts having to talk about the same song over and over again. As with most problems in the world, I lay the blame entirely on Taylor Swift. What made it work anyway was that the guest was different each week, and they often had something new to say about these things. Cutting out the guest from the charts entirely seems to make that problem worse, and I don't really get the idea here - they're still counting down the charts but talking about unrelated things during them? Anyway, they'll probably iron out the kinks and be fine, I guess? The new themes are great, for sure. But more importantly forget Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck - Brother Wayne Kramer forever!

    EPISODE 373 — Vocal Fry

    I actually liked that plug theme a lot, but as soon as it went into the second verse, I thought, "Uh-oi, Scott is not going to like this one bit!" P.S. Victor and Tiny for President 2016!

    EPISODE 336 — NOT Farts and Procreation 4

    I apologize if this has already been posted, but Harris' sister Stephanie posted her eulogy on Medium. It is very lovely and funny and will make you cry again.

    EPISODE 336 — NOT Farts and Procreation 4

    I love Harris Wittels now and forever. Thank you for all the foam, Comedy Bean Bag.
  5. I really hope they come back and do more bands. My suggestion: "You Talkin' Heads To Me?"

    Episode 176 — Hot Gomer Pyle

    Natasha, the reason your new television is making everything look like garbage is because new televisions have this new setting that makes everything look like garbage and they're always enabled by default. They're made for show rooms, because they do look "real," but as you mentioned, that "realness" ends up making even the most beautifully photographed films look like Mexican soap operas. This setting is typically called something like "Motion Smoothing" because it literally creates frames whole cloth in between the actual frames. Basically whoever invented this is the worst person ever, but what's really crazy is most people just think that's the way their tv is supposed to work. So good on you for realizing your tv is making movies look like shit rather than just accepting that's what it's supposed to be. Look for a setting called Motion Smoothing or something and turn it off. Here's an article all about it. I'm sure you read these comments, so I'm happy to help. Secondly: I totally understand why some people would find New York "unlivable," but for a lot of us, it's the only livable place in the country. I just did a little traveling around, including going to Austin -- which is a great city that I like a lot and have been to a bunch of times -- but after about two days I start thinking, "I have to get back to New York; I don't know how people live here." When you live in a city like New York that has everything you could possibly imagine all within a 30 minute bike ride, it's really hard to be somewhere where that isn't the case. Other cities just don't feel like cities at all to me. You get less space of course, but that's the price you pay for having everything you could possibly want right there -- even if what you want is some open space to feel like you aren't in a city at all. Again, it's definitely not for everyone, but it's a much more efficient way to live, and how big does your kitchen need to be, anyway? The weather can be awful, though. I'll give Kremer that. Sorry for the long response. Modern country and Make-em-Ups are truly terrible, but I liked this episode, I love this show and I think Natasha is the best.
