JulyDiaz 2797 Posted June 15, 2015 Paul F. Tompkins welcomes all his brothers he hasn’t met yet, including women, back to Spontaneanation! This week Paul’s special guest is hip-hop artist Open Mike Eagle! They chat about social anxiety, merch booths guidelines, and pizza day in high school. Paul is then joined by Janet Varney, Jean Villepique and Hal Lublin to improvise a story set in the Waiting Room at An Oil Change Place. As always, the sensational Eban Schletter scores it all on piano! Share this post Link to post
HipsterNonsense 402 Posted June 15, 2015 Can't wait to check this one out. I can never have enough Open Mike Eagle in my life. 1 Share this post Link to post
Lukas Holmes 2287 Posted June 15, 2015 Oh! I'm a moron. I didn't know everyone could control the sounds. I always assumed either PFT was controlling them all or, for some stupid me reason, Eban. Why am I so dumb? 2 Share this post Link to post

itsrobobo 78 Posted June 15, 2015 Hang on has the Thrilling Adventure Hour really ended? Â Yeah, their last show was in April. All the eps haven't been released yet to the internet, but there's only a few left. Very sad. 1 Share this post Link to post
Xandar1977 421 Posted June 15, 2015 Janet Varney's laugh is amazing. For me it's up there with PFT's off-mic laughter and Matt Gourley's snorts. 7 Share this post Link to post

Kickpuncher 5012 Posted June 15, 2015 MITCH!!! Â Great bunch of people, great episode. 2 Share this post Link to post
hypnotizingchickens 1025 Posted June 16, 2015 it's great to hear Mike on another Earwolf podcast... I saw him back in 2012 with Busdriver and, having no prior knowledge of his work, was pleasantly surprised at how talented of an emcee he is. I don't go to hip hop shows very often, but that one was the best and most intimate I've seen in recent memory. Â on another note, was Paul under the weather while recording this ep? his voice sounded noticeably deeper to me... and seeing his bow tie undone in the pictures was very disconcerting. Â Â edit: upon further inspection, it appears that this is a regular occurrence. I don't blame him at all... truly great improv does require full range of motion neck-wise.

FisterRoboto 7499 Posted June 16, 2015 Janet Varney's laugh is amazing. For me it's up there with PFT's off-mic laughter and Matt Gourley's snorts. Â My podcast app shortened the episode name/description, so i didn't even know JV was in it until I heard her laugh about a minute in. It totally made my morning. Â Opening monologue on point as usual. Â Someone suggested a few weeks ago that we call this the "pre-ramble," and I'm championing that name. Â And Eben Schletter's stinger on Paul's "If you know anything about me, I respect vegetables!" was one of the best things ever. 3 Share this post Link to post

Cameron H. 23786 Posted June 16, 2015 Despite Mr. Tompkins impassioned monologue regarding his love for the Brussels sprout, I still can't get behind any food that does not follow the proper rules of grammar. Shouldn't it be Brussels' sprout, or if someone wants to be a complete dumb-dumb, Brussels's sprout? Â It's a sprout from Brussels, right? Therefore, Brussels has ownership of the sprout so the word should connote possession. You wouldn't say, "America flowers," you would say, "America's flowers." Â Of course this is all my roundabout way of saying, it's all bullshit and I ain't putting one in my mouth! Â Â Ugh...gross! Get it together, Brussels! 1 Share this post Link to post
wiscomedy 212 Posted June 16, 2015 Did they up the volume on the other participants' laughter during the pre-ramble, or was it just an especially giddy group? I liked it. 1 Share this post Link to post
