EPISODE 17 - Science Fair

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Paul F. Tompkins is the one that welcomes YOU to the special land of SPONTANEANATION! This week, Paul’s special guest is Paget Brewster of Community, Criminal Minds, and The Thrilling Adventure Hour! They chat about what kind of food related 28th amendment she would add to the constitution, under what circumstances would she ever taste human flesh, and her father’s family shorts. Paul is then joined by Maria Blasucci, Craig Cackowski, Amanda Lund to improvise a story set at Science Fair. As always, the remarkable Eban Schletter scores it all on piano!

The next LIVE SPONTANEANATION will be recorded at Largo on Saturday, August 1st, with special guests Thomas Lennon, Sarah Burns and Craig Cackowski ! Last time, the live audience ONLY got to hear Paul and guest Scott Aukerman cover a Smiths song; what exclusive live moments will the August audience get?

I agree.

[McSmashington 521]

Paget is on.

 

I agree.

 

*clink*

 

Also replying so I can see that photo twice.

[souprman 10477]

Paget is the best!

 

I hope she drops into CBB and HH next.

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

Jesus H. Christ! From the first 'can I reset?' on I was choking. "I am so embarrassed that Tim Gunn is in my house and my balls are out."

[orphan yachts 217]

my goodness this one was such fun. truly

[JoshuaTeixeira 34]

Paget is the very best.

[sophieee 86]

why is the theme a riff on the wedding march?

[sauze 111]

I blame Jimmy Pardo but when Paul went into 'Saturday In The Park' during Pagets story I fucking LOST it.

 

I can't explain it, but boy that made me laugh.

 

Thanks!

[FisterRoboto 7499]

"There's nothing wrong with a natural fish." Oh, Paget. You're the best.

Why aren't you one?

OOOO, I would totally listen to the sub-podcast: "Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum's Time Travel Adventures!"

[FisterRoboto 7499]

We had a discussion way back in Episode 8 about singing certain syllabic patterns to certain songs.

 

 

My tic is to the rhythm of "Zoot Suit Riot" and fits all of these as well.

 

Hot steel GIRder! (girder!)

 

Also, I really love Craig Cackowski. He needs to be on more Earwolf podcasts. More I4H appearances would be great.

Chalkdust, I hope you enjoyed "Science Fair Scandal! (Throw back a bottle of beeeeeer)" this week.

Always remember that birds are goddamned dinosaurs.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

I can't tell Maria and Amanda's voices apart and it drives me crazy, but either way, they're both very funny.

 

Did anyone else worry that there would be a rift in the space-time-commercial fabric when Craig first referred to the drunk wife/mom as "Dolores"?

I have that same issue.

Dang. Beat me to it.

Stop making fun of Dan Aykroyd!

[HotSaucerman 2051]

Yeah. Once the improv started, I had to go back and listen closely to their introductions to pick up on the nuances of their voices. And I'm pretty sure that Amanda was Meredith/Dana, and Maria was Mrs. White/Joanie.

You think it was Craig Cackowski who was so enamored with John Stamos?

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

Oh, I just assumed so.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

That was my best guess, too. During the "multiple takes" part, I picked up on something that made me think it was Maria. Anyway, it occurred to me that even though it's frustrating, it actually kind of helps the story because it's easier to get lost in the scene and picture the character rather than the performer. Like, even if Paul is doing a female voice, I'm still picturing Paul.
