i4h was great. it and the trilogy eps have demonstrated to me that besser should do episode long stories more often.

Why does the 54 club exist? I can maybe understand people getting mystery boxes full of dollar store crap, but why would you want a mystery box of clothing?

It's a riff on Kroll's El Chupacabra character. That's how he always announces the radio station in those bits, "El Gato PUNTO com!"

i just listened to the ep where he does the earwolf thing for the first time. its so weird hearing it in context, also he nailed it on the first try

So I listened to the first episode of Schmucks and it's pretty good. Steve made a genuine and very stupid mistake. A mistake that you can't just come out and say you were joking about later, so he went with it and just hoped no one cared enough to actually check it out. He's a lovely person for doing what he did, but he's so genuinely sorry about it, that you can't really hate him.

I listened to the 2nd episode, and Nicole Arbour is the worst human being alive. She's just truly terrible in every single way. Regina George in real life. The interviewer acknowledges in the beginning that she was mad at herself afterwards because she really kisses Arbours rear end. I bet she'd like a do over on that one.

Martin Shkreli is the 3rd episode and i'm not sure I can listen. You just know he doesn't care how hated he is.

this show is pretty crazy with its guests. some guy who lies about being in a tragedy, then some lady who insults fat people and beats her boyfriend, then some guy who makes life saving medicine unaffordable. i hear next week's guest is going to be henry kissinger

It's Howl/Stitcher rather than purely Earwolf, but Big Grande's Teachers Lounge just dropped season 2.

I don't remember anyone talking about the show or it even being promoted on Earwolf, but I downloaded it for a long trip just on faith of Drew Tarver and Dan Lippert, and I don't think I've laughed as much at anything in a long time. In my book, it gives Andy Daly's Pilot Podcast Project a run for its money.

i dont know, it felt like they just kept trying to push each other into more and more crazier poo poo which is fine. but then the next episode they recap it all and then add more, then do it again, and again, and again

maybe dont binge it like i did and listen once a week or something

right click the page of your ep, click inspect source. search for the mp3 link, copy and paste that link into your browser

Black List drinking game:
- take a drink every time you see the words "A hitman/assassin" or "A true story"
- take a drink every time the synopsis highlights a locked-room thriller/emphasizes how few characters there are in the script
- take two drinks every time the script is about a famous person
- take three drinks if that famous person is a Hollywood star
- finish your drink, open another one, and finish that one when you come across a second script about the exact same showbiz story/celebrity in the same list. This will happen EVERY YEAR.
- drink everything at hand when you read a synopsis as spectacularly stupid as "A man goes to space to destroy the ship that, upon becoming sentient, killed his wife."

Kulap’s story is depressing with her biological parents both turning out to be complete shitheels. I’m not sure if there is a coherent documentary that could even be pieced together from what they apparently shot.

Edit:
Breaking news! The podcast that was teased by Colin on Hollywood Handbook has been announced. It is a currently untitled podcast with Scottie Auks, PFT, and Lauren Lapkus. I don’t know if there will be a set topic or theme, but it sure sounds exciting. It should help ease those UTU2TM cravings.

Hollywood Masterclass doesn't really work for me. Ben Rodgers doesn't really seem like the right sort of fit to me; all his responses are just "I'm not sure about that..." and it doesn't give Sean enough to bounce off of. Someone like Eugene Cordero playing an unconfident or low status version of himself feels like a better fit.

hes a really serious straight man. probably the best eps was when sean made him line read

I do not know if I'm missing something but its search function is beyond worthless. I couldn't search by guest name within the show. I couldn't search by the actual episode name.

There's a "Listen Later" thing that I think downloads locally, but ya, it's trash. I tried to find all the Scharpling Hollywood Handbooks the other day for a relisten, had to cross reference dates from the Earwolf site because I couldn't do (like you could in howl) "show me all the appearances of this dude" or even reliably search his name.

what you dont memorize every episode name (not the number, they dont have numbers) and then scrolling through hundreds of eps to find the one that you like?

It's impossible to know without seeing both of their bank balances & photos of their homes and wives. But heres what we do know: they're both doing worse than UCB & Harvard Alum BJ Novak, going to show that while the jury is still out on which is better, true success in comedy requires both.

No way, Conan is rich af and he's just a Harvard guy. Hayes just didn't hang out with the right crew to get on that Simpsons gig, he was on family guy instead
