Going back a week, does anyone know what Scott's reference to a college in Boston next to a Home Depot was about?

People who try to fake being humble about going there just say they went to school "near Boston." I like how Lapkus is doing a new character in nearly every other appearance especially because she's been in every other episode lately. "Can you not say because you don't know what they are?" "No, I know what they are..."

It's a semi-common reference that people that went to Harvard just say they went to school in Boston so people will ask where they went and they get to say Harvard. Pretty sure that's what it's about and the home depot thing was just a throwaway line.

Oh, that makes complete sense; I was just hung up on the Home Depot reference (and, as someone who went to school in actual Boston, my mind doesn't leap to Harvard when someone mentions it). Thank you!

Lapkus has really become a favorite in the last few months. She's fantastic.

One of the million things I love about Lauren Lapkus is how she simultaneously fully commits to a character and clearly finds what she's saying hilarious. She always seems on the verge of completely breaking but fairly rarely actually does.

I just found out that Tom Leykis is a real person.

He's so close to the real Leykis, especially the condescending "dear" (I only know this because while carpooling to work my coworker used to listen to his show). One of my all time favorite eps was with Tom and Amy Poehler.

That reminds me to remind you guys that Leykis was on Sklarbro Country last week talking Michael Sam.

Speaking of Adomian and Lapkus, I've been going through old Lapkus episodes that I haven't heard and I just listened the one with her as Todd, Nick Thune, and Adomian as Hoffman. That sure was uh... something  .

I've only just listened to the first twenty or so mins of the episode (by which I mean the last five minutes of those twenty minutes because I skipped through most of the boring interview talk) and I was wondering if Lauren Lapkus' new character was related to this sketch(?) type video she did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8NlbNcT6Qw

Man you were really excited to discuss the possible origins of a teacher character, you just couldn't wait. A lot of people listen to podcasts driving to work and I'm going to imagine you composed that on a smartphone while stuck behind a red light or maybe just in a jam, and are currently fidgeting like mad anticipating the discussion of this character's lineage. Anyway, no doesn't look like it, the similarities are pretty superficial, and the video doesn't mention stinky chips once. Who can say what inspires the creative mind though.

Adomian as Leykis on the episode with Maria Bramford was pretty awesome because she loved Leykis so much.

My favorite Huell bit is I think from one of the anniversary episodes, where Scott keeps going "uh huh and where else have you been" over and over to try and break Adomian, but he just keeps coming up with "Yucaipa" and "Beautiful Oxnard California". And the best California's Gold episode (after Baghdad Cafe, of course) is the one where he goes to Echo park to ride the kids trains.

I have not followed the in-fiction Huell Howser story at all. How did he end up exploring infinite universes exactly? Also didn't realise that Adomian stopped doing the character after the real guy died.

(So I had finished listening for a bit and was on the forums and thought I'd post a semi-related and potentially funny video. Admittedly with a tiny pathetic tinge of excitement that no one else had thought of it.) Punch Card posted:They have one thing in common, guess what it is!

For those who aren't U talking U2 to me listeners Scott Aukerman elaborates on Adam Scott's no show. Evidently he had a lot of guests lined up and they all no showed but only threw Adam under the bus as a joke. However he did mis characterize how he said he couldn't make it. He didn't say bro. But people took it the wrong way, well some did.

I'm gonna get there. I'm gonna gently caress Aziz Ansari. In his rear end in a top hat. And he's gonna turn around...and gently caress me in my rear end in a top hat. And if he can stuff my balls in his mouth...good for him. If he can't, I'm gonna somewhere else.

Also realize SNL can be a constraining place that doesn't best take advantage of ones talents.

That's mostly what I've learned listening to these podcasts. There are all these funny people that I thought were not funny. It turns out they were just on really lovely television shows.

I've been listening to old episodes and I didn't realize how funny Colin Hanks was. I am really bummed he hasn't showed up in the last couple of months to promote the Fargo TV series.
