EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend

[robotam 4493]

I really enjoyed listening live, but as it went on I was getting increasingly nervous. I was also incredibly tired (it was about 1:30am my time when the got to me!) Then I thought I was going to be part of a monster call and then suddenly it was just me and the boys. I was too startled to listen properly and ended up giving one word boring answers. Most embarrassed I've been in years.

 

Overall experience 8/10 would call again.

[Andy Dick Cheney 3779]

I'm really looking forward to listening to this when it drops.

 

I think as long as Ranran, Jmonsterface, Kevin O'Brien, Robotam, Greggy, Sillylillyquee, Burdrulz, Tim and souprman didn't get through it will be a great listen.

 

If they did, i might just sit this one out.

[Danny Boy Wizard 1342]

hi danny. can't we both be nice boys around here? we 'ann's have to stick together. xoxo (d)ann(y)ie

(aaaaa! )

all in all you can be a nice boy too BUT NO ONE ELSE

NOBODY ELSE CAN BE A NICE BOY

IF YOU WANT TO BE A NICE BOY TOO FUCKING BAD

[Joe McGurl 8358]

Damn, I was just about to rebrand to #1 Nice Boy but looks like that's out of the question now. Thanks a lot Danny, we were supposed to fulfill the prophecy together. The chosen ones.

[piemanpie24 1119]

I can't believe I missed my chance to call in. Stupid thanksgiving and stupid road trips.

 

(No, seriously guys I've been in the car 12 hours now I'm losing it. My butt hurtz.)

 

How've y'all fine folks been?

[AshleyChupp 3958]

First Peretti and Peele, now Gourley and Lund... Do I sense a special Davenport/Clements announcement on the horizon?

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

I had no idea Peretti and Peele were dating let alone engaged, woah

 

Excited to listen to all you nerds nervously try to be funny and impress Sean n Hayes x

[Andrew 4646]

I'm not crazy, it says right there "second day of Thanksgiving".

[souprman 10477]

"Mommy, why does the make up monster make us kiss her on the merry-go-round?"

 

what Gwen's kids ask the nanny at bedtime.

Thanksgiving is slowly but surely taking up the entire month of November. I warned the village elders about this!

all right buddy. thats a LOL

[Andrew 4646]

I'd like to give a big thanks to Engineer Cody for turning the mics on early so we could hear Sean explain to Steffi how the call-in system worked, and Hayes doing a Dr Evil impression. What a special Third Day of Thanksgiving treat.

 

Also, I've got 99 problems but knowing the Earwolf wi-fi password isn't one.

[Jack Johnson P.I. 3649]

Is it "because_fi"? If it isn't, don't tell me. I really want that to be the password.

Seeing Gourley tomorrow, planning on only using two words the entire time ('my' and 'wife')

[Andrew 4646]

I assume they'll be flying me out next year for a one year anniversary catch up.

[elizamuffins 4228]

 

I assume they'll be flying me out next year for a one year anniversary catch up.

And you also assume they won't have changed the wifi password? Making a lot of assumptions there, buddy!

You'd think that all that extra time turning on mikes he'd know how to take a call. You know, like he did multiple times and the shit the bed on one caller? I mean, it's fine. No big deal, right? It could happen to anyone. #likeanelephant

[Silvrwoman 4998]

I'm very sad that I couldn't call in due to my schedule being fully booked of me being anxious about calling. I really have to work on my time management skills. Any tips? And please don't refer me to a buzzfeed article, those are always too overwhelming. Thanks in advance

[JacobCrites 4977]

friggin call-ins, man. I guess it's just not meant to happen for me.

[SteveH 11126]

friggin call-ins, man. I guess it's just not meant to happen for me.

 

Don't worry about it. Things were never the same for me after my son and I appeared on episode #78 of hollywood handbag.

 

Immediately after I hung up the phone, we were both still so high from our taste of fame, we got in the car, drove to New York and hired an agent, a manager, an acting coach, a vocal coach, and a publicist. We got headshots, $200 haircuts and my son demanded we hire a personal trainer. I maxed out 3 credit cards and drained my 401K that I had been paying into for 10 years all in one whirlwind afternoon.

 

What they don't tell you is that Earwolf doesn't pay you an appearance fee. I thought it would be OK to blow through all that money because we'd make it back and then some once the other gigs started coming in.

 

7 months later and I'm $40K in debt, no savings, no acting gigs on the horizon. I got divorced and remarried twice. My son won't speak to me. I got addicted to online mahjong. Been in and out of rehab.

 

Appearing on a call-in show is not all it's cracked up to be.

[Game of Scones 5812]

You had less than 40k in your retirement?

 

fucking noob

please support my pointless bitching. thank you.

[nohorseman 5423]

Aw shucks I missed the call-in. I can record 30 seconds of muttering and nervous giggling if anyone wants to hear what I may have sounded like.

 

Anyway, thejjar I made a sweet potato souffle with homeade marshmallows atop it. It turned out better than last year. The recipe calls for bacon bits on top but I went for toasted pecans this year cause I think the whole bacon trend is a little gauche now, and it was yummy. I didn't take a pic but I snapchatted one to Eliza with a maybe she screenshotted it?

 

My dad is a little older and is a picky eater (he tried 'rice' for the first time a few years ago) and even he ate them though he usually doesn't fuck wit sweet potatoes and raved about them. Felt pretty good to me, Thanksgiving is a good holiday.
