be easy on me

They did the Fuck.

Stan Sitwell? More like Stan Bitchwell.

Also pretty cool that PFT is on WTF as well today

Did Earwolf studios turn into a butcher? Because this is full of sausage!

I hope they call China again.

Does Tom talk about the Muppets, Billy Crystal, Manny from Modern Family, or Impractical Jokers? How about complaining? A good bit of it? If not, I don't know how I'll recognize him. I'm joking. But really, I love the Best Show.

The Thermals?! I am, with 100% honesty, doing machine gun motions with my arms and noises with my mouth. Fuck I love that band!

Fearful of classifying the catchphrase submission in the likes of Carlos Mencia joke stealing, but wasn't that catchphrase an old Robert Downey Jr meme? Joe Wengert is fantastic. Love the nuances that go into creating his story and the universe of his characters. So subtle, and never eager to reveal too much information.

Besser is right - Slim knows how to control a crowd/room no matter how big or small. I remember seeing him for the first time well over ten years ago in a small setting, and he was playing like it was a 1200 seater. I saw him a good 12-15 times after that. I've been living overseas for 7 years though, so I'd like to see how he is now. Haven't finished the episode yet, just couldn't control espousing my love for Langhorne. He's a passionate dude, and his style should mesh well if his stage banter is any indication.

Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I wanted to pass along this important petition I started to make Paul F. Tompkins a moderator for the presidential debates - https://www.change.org/p/cnn-make-paul-f-tompkins-a-presidential-debate-moderator

Unrelated, but anyone else still voting on the 2015 best ofs?

I'm just throwing it out there, but picking on that poor girl in the first "on the street" segment was bullshit. Either there was a complete misunderstanding of the immigrant experience, or everyone was being a piece of shit for the sake of being one, but it's pretty clear she wasn't talking about how to get to her physical home. She was talking about home as in the Philippines. Holidays are incredibly tough on immigrants, and many of them, regardless of why they're in the US, still consider where they're from to be home. So for Kevin to needle her, use the segment, and then have you all pile on her is pretty fucking low. I can guarantee you Kevin wouldn't go into an inner city area and then have you all make fun of black people in an "on the street" segment. But hey, they're an immigrant from Asia, so that's allowed for some reason. I mean, it's definitely not as rude or misguided or offensive as saying everyone from Arkansas is a racist. Also, can someone teach Kevin how to use the fucking equipment?

Milk, milk, lemonade, around the back is where fudge is made, as well as taffy, sundaes, and peanut brittle. This is an old-timey candy store after all.

I see pee, and I don't mean those bawdy boys from Detroit; I mean the letter P.

Shit. I need more Tim Meadows in my life.

Bitches get knishes

I don't have much to add other than I'm really glad to hear Heynong Man was #1. I usually don't have vivid memories from podcasts, but I remember listening to that episode while walking around Yangon the first time I ever visited Myanmar. I was trying so hard to suppress the laughter that was boiling up continuously, and every now and then a nice chortle would release itself. A lot of locals were looking at me like, "Who is this crazy foreigner walking around in the rain giggling to himself?" It really couldn't have been a better experience.

Mary Holland killed it in this episode from the Shakespeare line to baby talking Seth in heaven to grandma stuck in the internet And Seth's "asiago taint" slip... Jesus Also, that one smarmy Milk Carton Kid getting shot down on Gallagher 2 was great.

Haven't listened yet, but this line-up + Dawes?! Whoa. whoa.

As someone who has zero interest in ever going into comedy or improv, I found these to be fantastic. There really is a lot of stuff that can be applied to throughout various areas of your life or work or whatever in general. I will ask though... were the people asking the questions UCB students? If so, my god, I hope they're better at improv than speaking. It was like an NPR call-in show run amok. God bless the folks at UCB who have to handle shit like that regularly. I thought it was interesting to hear the different mentalities to it all as well, mainly due to generational differences it seemed like - the old school, straightforwardness of Roberts and the younger idea of "Well, I have this opinion, but you're right, too, and I don't really want to take a stand on it because that might be offensive to someone blah blah blah" (especially from Ptolemy). But in the end, really, thanks for doing stuff like this. It makes me respect those involved with the theater that much more.

Shit. Robbie Fulks sounded absolutely incredible. I don't mind the musical guests at all either. Hell, I can't stand Dan Deacon's music, and that episode was great. One thing I would love to see though is Besser forcing the guest to do one short scenario with everyone... it could be a disaster, or it could lead to hilarity. Love hearing Mary Holland talk about Galax... spent a lot of time around that area. The formation of the band killed me. Fuck... the whole diner scene - brilliant. That was easily one of my favorite i4h moments ever. Fingering to Party of Five, jam music, talking about music and the tattoo in the restaurant, the butthole being a barrel, pink assholes... so many good parts.

I appreciate your opinions, but you're all wrong. Professor Stillwater was by far the best new character.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel... because I ain't looking for immaculate conception.

That tea party guy had to be a plant, right? So many stereotypes confirmed in such a little amount of time.

One of the first CBB's I listened to was Rust doing the "creeeeeeepies," and it also irked me to no end. And like you, something just clicked. And now I can't get enough of how ridiculously absurd it is. I mean, mini monsters at the water park? Come on!
