I think I'm OK with just listening to Harmontown. I watched the Chicago show and when Harmon started wandering around the audience I was really put off.

How bad does Dan Harmon smell in person?

Like, is it always that bad? Is it just better not being able to see it? I was, however, pleasantly surprised with Gout Guy. That felt like a pretty natural audience encounter, start to finish, and it reminds me why people getting up on stage is actually a good thing most of the time.

Can we talk about how Meltdown needs a live organist at all times?

Having now listened to the episode (I went to the show) it maybe sounds a little bad, but honestly it was totally deserved. Everybody in the loving theatre was jumping out of their seats shouting things like "MY MOM'S VIETNAMESE!" or "I'M A TRUCK DRIVER!" or "MY BROTHER'S DEAD!" and so on and so forth. It was a Wannabe Freak Show. It was one of the most off-putting and cringe-inducing experiences of my life, and saying that someone is the worst is a pretty mild reaction to all that. I didn't hear it at the show but on the podcast heard a girl saying, "I'M FULL ASIAN!" and Dino going, "Sit down, you loving Nip!" THAT was when I felt like saying "gently caress you." Also, I was really sad that most of the organ was too quiet to hear. It sounded great in the room and I could only catch a little of it on the podcast. Was it any better on the live stream?

Also I can vaguely remember someone saying to Dan "My friend is canadian!" in an attempt to get on stage....yeah "you're the worst" is entirely warranted.

I was embarrassed to hear adults yelling for a chance to talk with a rich manchild on stage. Wannabe Freak Show is pretty accurate way to describe it

I can't believe I've missed this podcast/Phenomena/Thing for so long. Been going through the entire catalogue for 2 weeks now, up to episode 58. Harmoncountry was a fantastic experience, every episode felt like a feelgood indie flick, rounding everything off with the "What did we learn" song. gently caress Adam Goldberg though, jesus christ, I can barely stand reading the posts of goons I don't need an autistic one in my ear. I get the impression that the people on stage are mellowing to him because he obviously pesters/stalks them in real life enough that they are familiar with him, but as a listener of the show he's still just a nobody from the audience who just storms the stage with a one man show of social disorder.

Jeff has been out the last 10 episodes, much to the detriment of the show. With the possible exception of Mitch Hurwitz, no one comptrols as well as Jeff. Like, there's one point in the Chicago show when you could hear the desperation in Dan's voice as he's trying to have a real moment with Normal Spencer, but Celebrity Spencer keeps interjecting with his awful shtick. Jeff might not have been able to save that segment, but I think he would have been quicker to recognize that it wasn't going anywhere and moved things along much sooner.

Have I got news for you. If you think Adam is terrible then just wait for some of the other people who try/do get on stage and act/speak in a much more embarrassing and even less funny way. Adam is a-ok.

I've grown to like Adam. He's learned, and admitted in this very thread, that being up on stage is not something that should be sought out, and is actually more of a penance than a reward. Every tour destination only proves that point more and more.

The worst that came to mind wasn't on this tour. I think it may have been during the harmontown tour where a woman and her friend got on stage and her friend was claiming this lady saved community because twitter or something and wouldn't let up. It was real weird.

Is it #76? If so, I totally forgot the entire reason they went up was to complain about Dan saying poo poo online which makes their whole thing even worse. Jesus christ holy moly.

I'm playing the catch up game as well. I'm somewhere in the twenties. The last four episodes have been 45 minutes of rapping, ten minutes of Dan and Jeff, and the rest Goldberg. In the episode I'm listening to now, Dan is apologizing for bullying Adam Goldberg after Big Red showed up in the last episode. Adam is really, really terrible. Does he ever go away? Or do I have 80 more episodes of his garbage ahead?

If anything, he gets more exposure later on, culminating in a series of four episodes where he not only comptrolls, but also replaces Spencer and the rest of the player-characters in D&D. So watch out for that.

If it's any consolation, the last handful of episodes have had audience guests who were 10x worse than Goldberg ever was. Hell, I would take Adam any day over Observational Humorist Spencer.

Also Adam stole the "cross the finish line" joke from Anthony Jeselnik on the day of the Boston Marathon Bombing. I'd accuse him of having no shame but, you know, autism.

I'm happy to hear Celebrity Spencer's lengthy, detailed objections to folk wishing him a good natured blessing upon his expectorations. That's just plain funny! Wait, no, it's not funny or engaging at all. Please, let Jeff get back on the podcast soon.

I miss well-intentioned dork Spencer, egotistical "celebrity" Spencer is not relatable in any way. Plus hearing him talk about how he was awkward that week was more interesting than hearing how he got high that weekend.

I thought that Dan's Busta Rhymes impression would be the biggest laugh of the new episode, but then the Russian guy asked, "Who is Adam Goldberg?" and I almost got into an accident from laughing. But God drat, when will Jeff be back?
