Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Oh my god I came here as soon as I caught my breath from laughing uncontrollably! So fucking funny!

[Dhezballah 462]

Damn we almost had Eric!

Also Matt Besser was on Getting Doug with High today with Howard Kremer.

Holy shit are you serious?!

[nathanpierce 400]

Normally I'd nerd rage at mistakes like calling The Riddler a Spiderman villain, but that led to even more hilarious material.

JOE WENGERT IS THE TRUTH.

 

 

fantastic episode.

[Kung-Fu Ramone 3]

I hope they keep in touch with Doug. His crazy, jibber jabber wisdom needs to be recorded for the ages.

[Corky Kneivel 113]

WENGERT!!!

p sure it was a joke on purpose because they were not good spidermens

 

 

Doug Levison's Ray Romano tangent was great.

[MattCameron 595]

What an episode. Loved hearing Sean and Dominic on with the always mesmerizing Joe Wengert. That Doug is such a kook. I can feel my blood pressure skyrocket when I listen to him babble on and on to the point that I just want to shout sometimes, but the scenes that come out of his appearances are incredible.

[AndyPacheco-Fores 437]

That rich kid is from my home town, ugh.

[mattman92ish 823]

i could listen to that small mans voice forever haha really hysterical ep i cant even keep track of all the goodness "i was a pretty average spiderman"

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Trying to think of Earwolf (or Earwolf-adjacent) personalities who could serve as the Blaster to Doug's Master. Everyone who's big enough to be intimidating seems out of shape and/or totally non-confrontational.

[Shannon 2953]

Doug tells stories exactly like my uncle, listening to this was like re-living Christmas.

[justinmh05 1968]

I haven't listened yet, but please tell me that Doug mentioned knowing FDR again.

[justinmh05 1968]

And I can't be the only one who hopes that Doug is best friends with Best Show on WFMU super caller Spike, right?

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

Oh my god. That sketch at the cliff was amazing. 'I think I might have shoved him a little so we're defintely going to have to get on the same page now.' So perfect.

I think it was pretty damn obvious they did it on purpose. The whole point of the bit was, indeed, that they were all clueless about Spiderman. Your nerd rage would have been extremely misplaced even if it hadn't led to a hilarious callback later on.

Seriously, I was going to post about how sick I am of Trumpet Man, but you're right.... the guys turn Dougs 5 minutes of annoying babbling into comedy gold.

Isn't most nerd rage misplaced anyway?

I once had some 14 year old yell at me online since I didn't know who some Dragonball character was.

I told him not to talk to me until he felt a vagina.

[Concord Bismarck 17]

I guess I'm in the minority here. Doug's meandering stories were funny to me only in the sense I (plus Matt and his humans, evidently) was laughing at his inability to stop talking. He did the same thing on the VPN episode and it was clear they were laughing at him almost all throughout the phone call. It became grating to me after a few minutes.

i almost wish they would prerecord the doug calls and have my mentor thomas edit them down or someth but if that happened i guess doug might get mad and say mr bezser was making him look bad on purpsoe? idk it is a toughie because i really like where this seems to be going but doug has a hard time staying focused

 

if anyone can make it work tho it is mr besser

you think the podcast is live, thomas does the edits, and assume that the call you're hearing wasn't already edited? 0-3

 

if only you guys heard the full call, it's mind blowing how much that guy can talk.
