EPISODE 4 - Savannah, Georgia

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Paul F. Tompkins invites all you wondrous humans to Spontaneanation, and this week he is joined by special guest Melanie Lynskey of HBO’s Togetherness!

As always, the terrific Eban Schletter scores it all on piano. Celebrate 4/20 by traveling to beautiful Savannah, Georgia and beyond with us!

Funniest podcast in the entire Pea Nutbutter dimension.

I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet but I'm loving The Todd Glass Show-esque/inspired lighting for these podcast recordings.

[Thedge 314]

Are the inhabitants of the topsy turvy dimension clowns?

[Jon Onyx 1226]

Janet Varney has the best laugh ever

[HunterJE 618]

OK, who's making the video for the chess song? I can totally picture little animated chess pieces dancing around.

[KajusX 1807]

"Don't threaten me with seasons."

SO MANY PODCASTS TODAY... I don't know which way to toin.

SO MANY PODCASTS TODAY... I don't know which way to toin.

 

Clearly a conspiracy by Big Scrunchie to distract us from the exorbitant rise in Scrunchie prices

[Darbler Cheesegarbler 1110]

Sarah Burns' choice to make the contraption sentient was a huge game-changer, and I loved how she took charge. This might be my favorite episode, although it's really hard to say. I wondered why we're the peanut butter dimension, but then I stumbled on something very mysterious...

 

[DanEngler 5249]

No, no, Skippy was an Australian kangaroo.

[HunterJE 618]

Wait, I thought the kangaroo was Tymie Downsport...

[FisterRoboto 7499]

Janet Varney has the best laugh ever

Marc Evan Jackson's is amazing, too. I loved hearing them in the background at the beginning.

[HunterJE 618]

OK, who's making the video for the chess song?

 

I guess

!

I laughed so hard at Jesus drowning in nickles but when Paul said "Taste copper!" i lost my mind.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Funniest podcast in the entire Peanut Butter dimension.

 

PEANUTBUTTER IS ONE WORD.

 

I don't know what the fuck that "two" was in the launch countdown, but otherwise, this was amazing.

 

*Flashback sound*

"Oops...I'm gonna scam that school."

*Flash forward sound*

[AnnieStone 153]

I legit cried during Melanie Lynskey's monologue when she said she had her first friend at 7, but that the friend wouldn't acknowledge her at school. I am constantly embarrassing myself listening to Earwolf podcasts in public. (I did laugh out loud when she explained her misunderstanding of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"! Which only made my crying outburst worse!)

[Bumpy 1674]

PEANUTBUTTER IS ONE WORD.

 

Sorry! I'll go back and fix it.

[Xandar1977 421]

I think that Mitch and Dolores are worthy of their own podcast.

[Darbler Cheesegarbler 1110]

 

I guess

!

 

Paul Tweeted this today! Spongratulations on your fine work.

Interesting that Paul is building a little "stock company" of players, with so many repeat guests over only 4 episodes. Marc Evan Jackson is like the Joseph Cotten to PFT's Orson Welles, or something.

[devscoots 2561]

Man, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport". When I was in primary school we had go to various shopping centers and sing for all the shoppers as a choir, that fuckin song was always the last one.

I would've said Hector Elizondo to his Garry Marshall.

Or the Klaus Kinski to his Werner Herzog.
