Awesome!

 

maaarshall asks for more women, gets Pam Murphy one week later.

 

Can I put in a request for Tim Meadows? I miss him so much on the show.

I asked, and I received. Thanks, Besser and Meadows!

[Shampoodler 1489]

Tim Meadows always makes me insanely happy for some reason. Hey Earwolf give Tim a podcast.

[AlexMurphy 107]

Meadows is back in the building!

[AlmostAGhost 2718]

Wow, what a great lineup! Katie is a personal favorite, Tim's always so unique and I was just noticing a few weeks ago that I hadn't heard Eugene in awhile. And Jenny Owen Youngs is a great songwriter, been a fan for a few years. Very excited to hear this one

[MultipleReferee 176]

Loved all the callbacks/connections in this one. They all felt pretty natural, which gave the ep a very authentic "shared universe" feel -- reminded me of the Deranged Penguin trio of episodes from a little while back.

[Asteck 1250]

This musical guest is really great!

[Joe Lerini 7329]

I love the Banksy sketch.

I've always liked Meadows cause he seems like the absolute nicest person lol

[Shampoodler 1489]

I've always liked Meadows cause he seems like the absolute nicest person lol

His stifled off-mic laugh kills me every time.

[CameronMascari 329]

Wow she has a fantastic voice, looking forward to listening to the rest of this

[FaceLikeThunder 2114]

Her voice was super on point in those tunes.

I almost got a Bright Eyes vibe from some of her flourishes

[Big Dumb Luke 201]

Wow she has a fantastic voice, looking forward to listening to the rest of this

 

 

Agreed. I'll be listening through some of her albums after the episode is over for sure. Thanks for the introduction, Matty B!

[HotSaucerman 2051]

Hot damn! What a voice on that Jenny Owen Youngs! Gonna have to get some of her stuff.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

This is the longest I've ever taken to get around to listening to an I4H, but it was worth the wait. J.O.Y. was great, and major props to (presumably) Brett, because the sound quality on her performances was incredible.
