Is anyone else convinced that Reggie Watts is saying "Harrison's Phone corner" in the intro? Scott and guests always seem to notice odd word choices and slips of the tongue, so maybe I'm just imagining things.

I love how Matt Besser remembers A Wrinkle in Time with such minute detail that he can describe the ant on the string spacetime metaphor, and yet he was confused by the suggestion "tesseract" on improv4humans.

When the person in question is a character, yeah, I think it's a parody of a gay man. Does that make me a bad person?

I thought so too, but when I learned that Kroll is a non-flamboyant gay man I began thinking he had this reaction in mind with Fabrice.

Edit: Apparently that was just a rumor (unless Amy Poehler is secretly a man?).

I like DoggCatcher a lot, but I haven't tried another on Android. I can't think of any feature I want that it doesn't do. That includes variable speed playback, though you have to pay a few bucks extra.

The best "yes, and" is still nothing compared to a "that's right." delivered by Paul F. Tompkins or Lennon Parham, masters of improv momentum.

I just finished the second 600-page volume of Orson Welles' biography, so it felt like this episode was made for me. Has Adomian never done this character before?

Adomian was hilarious, though the Orson character didn't need a lot of polish. The trail for this impression was pretty well blazed by Maurice LeMarche (Brain of Pinky & the Brain), whom Adomian undoubtedly listened to growing up. But he probably based it on someone earlier, down to Welles' commercials which stand on their own.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I like every PFT character, but it seems like he does Cake Boss, the worst one, most while doing the best ones, Ice-T and Werner Herzog, very little. And maybe I'm the only one, but I'd like for him to do Michael Jackson's ghost and Danny Glover again, because those were just totally ridiculous and he was clearly enjoying himself.

I want a cleaner recording of that episode so bad... You've got to have heard PFT over the phone before and be listening carefully to appreciate how funny that bit is.

He spent every minute upstaging Scott, even trying to take his microphone. It was pretty satisfying to see two of his "jokes" bomb and hear Scott say "it's not as easy as it looks, huh?"

I came in late and went to the theater with all the noise. "Where is everyone? Did the show end early and kick everyone out?" Was leaving at the same time that the band took a break, just in time to hear PFT's Herzog leak out of that tiny oven room.

Loved Scott getting a little annoyed with PFT for breaking down his interview style on the recent episode with Joe Wengert and Weird Al. "He introduces a very interesting person, with interesting discussion, then he immediately derails it by asking the other people who he's already spoken to what they think..."

What time is this in the episode?

If you enjoy Joe Wengert's CBB appearances I would strongly recommend checking out his episode of the generally solid podcast Don't Get Me Started (with Will Hines, coincidentally). His music buying and listening and rituals are disturbingly complex.

A great episode of a great podcast. Joe also bluntly refuses to be interested in Will's minor obsession with the Ruby programming language.

Honestly who cares about ads? Just hit skip four times. If more ads means more shows being produced then I'll gladly hit skip eight or even twelve times. The bigger issue with Howl is the lack of new original series. With Hardcore Game of Thrones and Superego over there isn't much to look forward to.
