I loved this episode.

 

Everything was great. It felt a little bit like a Colleen Smith tour de force at times. I had to stifle a laugh in the office when Paul's fake laugh turned into "ni hao", so unexpected.

[KatieSatterfield 120]

Really great episode. So glad to have Colleen back, but with Craig and Matt, too? ALL STAR LINEUP.

[Darbler Cheesegarbler 1110]

Natalie Morales gives the best location suggestions! I love the line-up too. Listening now.

"Matt, I'm going to turn away from you and you will be out of here like steve martin"

 

 

Paul making a stand up album reference automatically makes this episode an A+

Great episode!

 

Boats use regular gas, but you have to put in a special additive.

Especially funny and great episode with snappy improv dialogue, too many great quotes to even mention. It's like they knew people would need it this week. Remember last time Natalie was on and she said Trump looked like "a fece" and theorized he may be a decoy? Those were the days... Hearing Colleen's voice reminds me I wish NYSU were still around this week too.

I have not literally laughed out loud for months but did doubly during the stroke contest in the elephant. Thank you!

I think that stuff Natalie referred to about John Wayne is actually about Elvis. He died with a 40 pound colon. Could be a common thing among has-been male celebrities, I suppose.
