Mulaney needs to be a staple -- he's amazing. His previous appearances were awkward, but he's weird like that. And at this point, Bernard Shakey should be allowed to pick his own guests. Engineer Cody Bernard Shakey Cody Bernard. Good great man.

I never listen to ANYTHING more than once or maybe twice. I have listened to each of these several times, and Travel Bug the most. Truer words never said. This was a weirdly amazing thing.

"Bono" sending "t-shirts" was super funny. Hugs and love to "Bono"

Besser seems to thrive on challenge and hating repeating himself. Repetition isn't fun unless forced spontaneous fun callback. Pope Voice/Neil Young. A guy who rather joins his own thing than ask people to join his thing. I think we just take what we get -- it's sad, if he was nicer it'd be great.

It's not funny to me?

This is a fun tell. I absolutely love St. Claire and Parham, but I hate Nick Kroll. People drummed me. I feel I'm wrong, but others are wrong too as subjective goes. Do people discern, hold favorites? Does everyone just like everything or commend who shines in the show

I paid my all cents. It'll never happen you guys. But what if it does

First time I've enjoyed an music episode. Music episodes asks a lot of the listener and never what people want honestly -- but this was great. Loved Matt's enthusiasm and Seth doing his always good thing. Matt reprising German Pope voice made my month.

It's weird hearing how much better Scott is with Adam than Harris. Probably just because they grew up liking the same things (cocks.) Phish is objectively a bad mess. I feel people can agree on this no matter how bad U2 subjectively is

You guys nailed it. Didn't think you could ever recapture the magic, but damn. Every night you record is just some stupid fun magic night. This podcast has crazy legs. Don't stop. Don't ever stop my joy.

Jim Parsons. Just because I want Matt to read the e-mail where his agent declines.

The thing about Jim Parsons and what BARF said... He's certainly a smart, funny, talented dude. He's obviously self-aware. But that ridiculous show and every embarrassing commercial he mugs for it and now all the awards.... Suddenly being ironic about it seems a sad and weird defense mechanism. Like he's trying to build some cool-guy anti-hero mental buffer. If you know the show is dumb, stop doing the show. Do something else -- write a funny blog, start a funny podcast, GUEST on funny podcasts. Dude's a hack. Doing an unjoyful sitcom for the money is the definition of hack. Doing things like joyful podcasts for no money and as if no once cared is what comedy should be about.

Pardo and "O'Doherty" were great. Am I the only one who's immediately annoyed by Nick Kroll everytime or is this some weird irrational thing.

He says they're naturally talented and funny dudes and wants them to just speak as themselves. I think it'd be successful show too, but that kind of show is much, much harder and riskier than satire.

Has Ben Schwartz ever done a not-funny episode of any podcast ever? Like a robot built to be funny, this guy is always funny. Add him to the Hall of Funny please.

PFT doing a call-back on this episode in CBB 308 was a joy. Great to know he's not just the best guest, but a fan.

Very well-stated and something I didn't pick up on. Listening to it again, Wengert played it perfectly.

Good point, listening to it again Wengert did steer clear from direct satire. And I can't think of Hollywood Handbook without hearing the girl sing "Here comes Hayes and Sean (Shawn?)" in my head.

Redbox and Barkining were the definite highlights. This is one of those episodes I can set to loop and fall asleep to. Thank you guys.

This would be EPIC, but it's spelt "Barkin" and I feel like PFT would call you out on that.

Lapkus is basically the female PFT -- she makes everything around her 10 times better. (As an aside, the Ross bashing in the episode kinda grates. Leave the Los Angeles rich-kid entitley satire to the show that does it better -- Hayes and Sean -- and keep the focus on fun, spontaneous creative comedy, please.)

Of all Earwolf things, I keep and often come back to this. Goddamn magic.

To echo, Paul's singing was amazing. Unexpectedly great voice; dude exudes talent.

Zach Woods is secretly and weirdly the most talented improv dude alive.

PTF... I think of PFT's name as interchangeable. Paul Tompkins Francis, Francis Paul Tompkins, Tom Francis Paulkins he's a comedic hero of myth that storytellers have misnomered in their telling of his legend over the years. (Good save Delino.)
