rat's pine

I think what makes a show an earwolf show is whether or not Scott comes on and mentions that movie with the train

The only times I've seen Scott post in the forums is to reply to "customer service complaints" and one other time where he talked about playing Mario Kart with Brian Posehn. I'd give this ep a 7.7 and the live eps 5 forks up

I was there and I'm not even sure. Amazing show. Still can't believe I got to witness Mizz Chips. Wish I could've gone both days. Also for all the UTU2TM fans lookie what I got signed at the meet-n-greet afterwards:

Me either. It's 3 am here and I just listened to Victor & Tiny's apple tree song like 5 times in a row so I dunno if my brain can handle this right now.

Live from Zappos it's Saturday night!

He went Fullditch. Also the whole point of the China calls is that they are absolutely offensive and it makes Kumail uncomfortable. That's where the comedic tension comes from. Without Kumail being offended the bit wouldn't really work. Same reason for bringing up Gillian Anderson's PJ's.

Thank god someone else heard it. Gino is the mvp of the unnoticed joke Scott: "We don't search anyone for weapons coming into the building" Gino: "Thank God.." So curious as to where that was going. Also I think Sem-Dogs would be a good name for a high school basketball team. Go Sem-Dogs! Dogpile! (one of my favorite old search engines)

*CAAHMIC This episode was good. Honestly my only complaint would be how PFT and Gourley steered things in a direction pretty similar to their last canonical appearance i.e. Stealwater appears unbeknownst to JW, blows his cover, then escapes in a convoluted way. Richard Harrow was a welcome bbbonus, but whatever happened to the League of Keepers or whatever it was called?

Whata buncha Joebongo's

"Hot Mayo Clinic" 100% should've been the title. Stellar characs from Joe and Neil, they were like two great tastes that taste great together (unlike mustard and relish). Scott's reaction to "CUNNY" had me in hysterics. "We should do more." Classic. Good stuff.

At least one more nickname change for #ClassicVlasic would've sufficed too if we're talking bit commitment

I thought it was a decepisode, especially considering CBB has kind of been on a roll lately. The man brat thing felt a lot like an after 12:30 SNL sketch. Always seems like these two go in with the vaguest possible idea and because of that they either strike gold or tread water. But c'mon guys, Air Jordan as an airline and "Hair or Win" were brilliant, as well as Taran goading Scott with Wayne Knnght's weight. And that plugs theme was sick as fuck.

Was expecting PFT to launch into character when Santa was mentioned. Probably wise not to considering the number of guests but still. To echo others, Oliver & Williger were like George & Gil + The Calvins Twins/ The Bachelor Bros. Something about cantankerous old duos and weird kissing siblings just seems to work for this show (and it is that kind of show).

Alaska is the 2nd state alphabetically. My mind is blown. Also not sure what I'm happier for: the return of Todd or the return of Engineer Cody Cody's fuck ups. Also also was very amused by the generational gap between Scott & Lauren's interpretations of "yellow face with sunglasses"

"COME ON VINCE, COME ON!!" (I hope you're referencing what I think you are because nobody else will get this)

Called it y'all

Just now realizing the irony of Alan Thicke's death given that it was just Peanuts Awareness Month.

Body count: Todd, Dimples' Mom, Alan Thicke, Tebow Lebow That's 4 deaths in the last 10 eps.

John Lennon makes an appearance during a jam sesh. Also Claudia O'Doherty is so phenomenal on the show. Kind of makes me sad she wasn't on this ep (in character or otherwise).

Wow what an ep. lots to unpack. So at some point New No-No's just became Paul's Foam Corner and honestly I couldn't be happier. Was genuinely shocked and impressed when Alan Thicke (R2D2Soon) name dropped Kirkland Lake of all places BUT locally people usually pronounce "Toronto" like "Tronno," and I won't even get into the whole about/aboot debacle. Also for a second Gilly's Mogwai sounded like Ho Ho (dare I say, a New Ho-Ho!?!) Overall the dynamic of Scott giving Paul shit, PFT giving Scott shit, Gilly giving PFT shit and everyone giving Gilly shit was just perfect. So many tangential spur-of-the-moment bits/callbacks and so little letting anything slide. CHOKE DOWN ON THIS HOT GOSS

Between Todd, Dimples' dad and Reardon's grandmother not a lot of coroner work being done

If we're talking snubs and flubs Tick Tock Clawk with Time Keeper and Paul Rust's old yes-yes's was one of my faves. Since they both work at repair shops based in Florida I desperately want to hear Time Keeper cross paths with JW Stillwater in 2016. Also I noticed a pattern with Paul Brittain and Claudia O'Doherty's appearances, where they both had amazing eps in 2014 (Tony Macaroni/The Calvins Twins), snubbed eps in 2015 (Romantic Tommy D/Shifting Bouncy) as well as very disappointing/awkward eps (Snow Dome/Banging the Table). Just my take, no need to dwell on the negative but those stuck out in an otherwise C+ year.

Tbh given wealth of PFT & Lapkus on CBB & their own podcasts this year Good Night in the Morning felt kind of subpar.

Pod bless us, one and all
