be easy on me

It only makes sense considering John Lennon grew a beard towards the cancellation of the Beatles.

"But you just said you liked music." "I don't know." I feel like this perfectly sums up the episode for me. There was no rhyme or reason to anything, and the point was to just have a good show. So much off the mic laughter, and I think this was the first CBB! since the introduction of Dalton Wilcox to make me laugh so hard I cried. Confession: When I'm alone, I sometimes think about how I'd handle being on CBB! I always seem so cool and collected in my head, but I'm afraid that if this scenario were to actually occur, I would be a bumbling idiot who might actually crap themselves. So good on ya, Michael. You held your own like a boss.

Holy shit. That Scott Steiner promo slayed me. How have I not heard/seen this already? My friends and I used to be huge wrestling fans, so I would have thought one of us would have stumbled across this piece of gold already.

Appreciate it. I was wary of being critical of PFT, but Wengert had some solidly droll bits that I felt got a bit snipped. Poor out of luck Doug. I feel like he and Hot Dog would get along great with their shared bad luck. I loved the melancholy trying to suppress laughter every now and then as well. I wouldn't mind hearing Doug Doyzoice back soon.

If we're being honest here, and we are, I felt like at times PFT was doing a Jon Daly as Zappity Tappity with how he would steamroll certain bits and/or immediately cut someone off or interject without listening. Usually I have no qualms with PFT, but he seemed way more overeager than usual on this one, and I think it ended up squelching Wengert and eventually led him to clam up.

All I want in life is to be friends with Weird Al. Is that too much to ask?

Re: the episode - This was really damn funny. So many literal 'lol' moments. Chelsea Peretti is so damn funny, and I wish the world could get more of her, but I guess I'll just settle for old stand-up specials and Brooklyn Nine Nine for now. And I love how Adam's timing is either spot on or stuttering to catch up to the joke at times. And of course... Harris. But from the opening riffing on Adam's bagel to the friendly frustration of not wanting to read the emails balanced with needing to go, a CBB! classic.

When I first heard the news of Harris Wittels, I was really bummed because it came 10 years after another way too early loss - Mitch Hedburg. Then, this bit of Taoist philosophy came to me: "Life should be enjoyed while it lasts, and death should not be feared. When Chuang Tzu's wife died, he banged on a drum and sang. His colleagues questioned the propriety of this. 'If I were to fall sobbing and wailing for her,' he replied, 'I should think that I did not understand what appointed for all. Therefore, I restrained myself.'" So bang that drum and let us remember the moments that brought us all many moments of joy and laughter.

Damn. That was a great episode... lots of laugh out loud content and great camaraderie all around.

This is exactly why I've banned myself from listening to Comedy Bang Bang and Improv4Humans at the gym. I can't imagine listening to this one at the gym. What a fantastic one all around. It's all been said, and I think I'm out of likes for the day, so I'll just say good on you all involved.

Great solo eps across the board. Given how different my sibling and I are, dynamics like this always throw me off, but I definitely enjoyed it. That story with Tig, her dad, and her half-brother was just freakin' great, too. Looking forward to getting the gang back together though!

I found Jack perfectly likable and like a guy who could easily hang in my friendship circle. Also, can anyone explain to me this bizarre Fun-Queen connection the internet seems to be hung up with? I've only heard a handful of Fun songs, and they haven't sounded anything like Queen. Do they have a song that sounds like "Stone Cold Crazy" or "Bicycle" that I haven't heard? Is their lead singer skilled in a wide vocal range and known for masterful showmanship? I'm just trying to see this comparison. Per usual, Horatio Sanz is a god and Miram Tolan is always fun.

Nice stuff to think about in these episodes. Gotta hand to David, too, and his Faulkner-esque stream of consciousness sentences sometimes. I think one clocked in about two and a half minutes

Had to re-listen to a few bits on here. So damn funny... great to hear Lapkus feel around the character continuity a la Horatio Sanz. It was also hilarious to hear the character's voice falter at times. I need to catch up on this Wild Horses business.

This was an incredible episode, and both guests were hilarious. So that means it'll get overlooked in fan voting at the end of the year #Horatio2015

Ha... nice catch. Fingers moving faster than the brain.

Yeah... Richard Linklater, Paul Thomas Anderson, Melissa Etheridge, St. Vincent, Jenny Slate, Chrissie Hynde, Norman Lear... really shitty guests over the past couple of months. Let me guess... needs more comedians and comedic actors, because those are in such large demand blah blah blah

I try to refrain from cussing on a board related to a Christian podcast, but what a goddamn delight this was. Sometimes it's just really nice to hear happiness in the world.

I was at a bar last night and I finally heard the real version of that "Bang Bang" song. But I started singing the Ben Schwartz version, and everyone around me looked at me as if I was the most vial person alive. Thanks, Comedy Bang Bang.

Also, Mike Hanford's John Lennon is up there with Paul Scheer and Scott Aukerman in terms of hilariously bad voices. Just kept fluctuating between bad Australian and bad Mississippian... too funny.

Arguing about musical guests on a comedy podcast. Did I accidentally wander into a WTF forum? But really, great episode. I can understand why people might have some trepidation towards musical guests, but all the ones I remember seem to dive in and participate, even if they can be a little stand-offish at times. And you know what? I think that's great. They're getting outside of their zone and having a go and showing they really buy into what CBB! is all about. We can all only be so lucky.

Whoa! B-b-b-onus-ing us in the first week on 2015?! You are too kind to us, CBB!

Yep. I never understood the friends with someone argument. I've been friends with folks who imbibe in various ways, and yet somehow, I've managed it myself. You could make the same argument for anything from art to sports to music to movies to food. Just because a friend enjoys something doesn't mean you have to enjoy it as well.

I'd watch Comedy Bang Bus.

Don't worry. Maybe Jenny Slate will be back soon to talk about how she smokes weed. Did you know she smokes weed? She should talk about it more just to remind people in case they've forgotten.
