The talk of recommended episodes makes me wonder again, as I am wont to do, if it would be worth it to make a new OP. I have some ideas for one but it'd be a few hours out of my life and I'm not sure it's at all necessary. I'm guessing no, but I'm thinking maybe I'll do it anyway one of these days (if caveman thug poo poo is okay with it).

On this, I do think Todd knows why it's funny, that's why he tells it. He's fine playing the character of the punching bag in these instances and does it very well.

Yeah, definitely. He plays that role a lot, especially with people like Scott and PFT who are good at poking fun at people. He's a weird guy (in a good way) and he enjoys a good ribbing, so it's kind of natural that he'd fall into that role.

When you gently caress as much pussy as Todd does you can let yourself be the butt of the joke now and then.

Andy Daly did Jake Fogelnest's podcast on Thursday and it's really good if you want to hear Andy just shoot the poo poo and talk about comedy without doing characters.

This is the first time in a while I've loved an appearance of an older Adomian character. I wish he'd do Leykis and Gordon Ramsey more.

I thought he was alright. Much like every other Jonah Ray podcast appearance. I didn't find myself wishing he wasn't there (unlike Matt Mira on that live ep of something he did with Matt Besser - dude wouldn't shut up), but I can't remember anything really funny that he said.

The Denver guy was surprisingly good though.

His group The Grawlix, or one of them, is eventually gonna be big. Their Amazon.com pilot last year was the only one that wasn't from a professional TV writer or Gary Trudeau.

I wish his name was Adam Clayton-Holland though, which would've made for some sweet, sweet U2 jokes.

It's odd to me that Amazon pilots are still a thing. After the initial buzz, I never heard anything about that first batch again.

Alpha House got renewed for its second season and it's really good. I haven't heard anything about Betas, but the pilot was kind of weak. Even Jon Daly didn't make me want to watch the rest of it.

This isn't a "public relations gamble." It's betting the farm. Unless Galifianakis goes easy on the president and offers an uncharacteristically tame interview.
Someone should take whoever wrote this aside and explain to them how comedy works.

The episode lists Scott as the director like always, so that's got to be a pretty crazy story that I hope he tells.
