I know Normal Lear is considered an innovator and a genius but...zzzzzzzzzz. The improv that came after was amazing, though. And the Geordi White music continues to sound like background music on a DVD or video game menu...

Anybody offhand remember which episode has Kumail going down the rabbit hole of getting Schrabbed? I know it's on YouTube but wanted to download the whole episode again.

That's also the one where Spencer nails a Greg Proops impression when playing Tylenol with Codeine.

5/11/16 Minute twenty. Dan has said "problematic" about thirty times. No end in sight. No one seems clear on exactly what his actual point is. Tell my family I love them.

What a perfect episode. Pseudo-intellectual ranting. Couch-psychology on a audience member. A hilarious improv with a classic character. Well done song. Everything I want. (And special guests that participate and not turn the show into a interview show).

I'm biased since I love the Doughboys podcast, but they need to be on more. They got off to a bit of a nervous, slow start but really kicked into full gear for the improv. Either that or more UCB improv people, I loving love that improv is the new Shadowrun, it's the best. Not that there's a lack of improv podcasts, but they have a really fun style with Dan and his writer-background setups and Jeff with short-form experience adding his quick bits.

I haven't listened to their podcast before, mostly because I feel it would lead me down a fatter road, but this episode was great. Best improv they've done in a long time, though I felt bad for the audience member since she just didn't know what to do. Luckily the improvisers set it up perfectly so that she was never the main focus of a scene.

They talked so highly about Wendy's in one episode I ate there almost immediately after listening to it. I also ordered way more than I would normally order.

Real good improv, and even the bummer stuff wasn't too boring, so great episode. I forgot Spencer was there; they should sent him to some Groundlings classes or something so he can contribute.

Hi I'm Dave Klein and my life sucks, this is all I have! YUP YUP YUP YUP YUP YUP YUP YUPYUPYUPYUP Also I hate the improv almost always but then there's gems in there so I keep listening but it may not be worth it? People seem to think the improvs are consistently funny, but I sure don't agree!

Long form improv is great if you like your jokes spaced out. You know you aren't gonna get too many good jokes, and they're gonna be at least five minutes apart, so it won't agitate your heart too much

I watch this show because its like being in the writers room. Ever get drunk with your friends and make each other laugh? Thats this. IF you have no friends, because thats why you are a goon, then this might not resonate with you.

Like Harmontown should make it a hard and fast rule to not have a bummer story if you're from the audience. There's a reason that mbmbam, an infinitely superior comedy podcast, has that rule, and it's especially worse when it's not just a super bummer story but THE EXACT SAME SUPER BUMMER STORY. Also when the story's how they're introverted, shy, socially awkward, and some variation of depressed guess what, they loving suck as interviews from being-shocker- introverted, shy, socially awkward, and some variation of depressing.

Preach it. I made like the exact same post a few months ago but apparently some people like the bummers because it brings variety to the show? Seems like pissing in the punch bowl to me though. I was so glad the other week when they didn't have time to get to seizure guy who's off his meds and could die any second.

There was a time I defended him and his story as powerful but it's hit the point where you're just listening to a guy with a literally broken brain get his lethal attitude enabled by others. Like I do m honestly have to wonder if he'd have ever gone off his meds or left his doctors if dan didn't tacitly endorse the hunter s Thompson/Ernest Hemingway lifestyle. If anything the one thing I really dislike about dan Is that he subconsciously buys into the hazardous and objectively wrong mentality that to be a powerful or effective creative you have to have suffered trauma and that sort of razors edge suicidal tendency/self-destructive lifestyle is something that dan really ideates. It's really dangerous not only because dan very transparently wants to die under that sort of status (troubled moody creative with addictions and problems who's mourned as a genius who left the earth too soon) and, whether or not he says it, he very clearly believes that's the right way for any creative to live, because it validates his own worst tendencies. And due to harmontown it gives him a platform and influence and that's when it gets harmful, because stuff like Sikh turns into this guy enabling a mentally ill dude to quit treatment.

Is he mentally ill? I thought he just had seizures. Everybody's gotta make those kinds of decisions for themselves, so I'm not gonna judge the guy's choice. But he's a real downer.

You make it sound like people are derailing the show with sob stories when that's exactly what Dan is asking from them. I'm not a huge fan either, but it's not something I get surprised about when Dan literally asks "is there someone out there who doesn't have a good mom relationship" and we then get a sad story about a dysfunctional mom relationship. I'm not saying it's the best, or even fun, part of the show but he's actively seeking out sad stories so he can practice his armchair psychology. The fun is later when it's taken to a sarcastic degree by Schrab or Jeff. Or the Doughboys "Waaaah. Anything is better then that pussy I just came out of! YouknowwhatI'msayin??" As for Klein, I don't really notice the Yups unless Dan or Jeff remark on them. Much like the laughing people, I tune it out. At least he's not forcing himself on the stage, he only goes up when asked. He did however really push his luck with me on this recent video episode. Doing some weird 'praying' arms thing at every Dan rant. It took some creative video editing to find camera angles he wasn't blocking.

Yes, Dan is definitely the one to blame for this. Although, at this point, brokebrain bummers are elbowing each other out of the way to get onstage so they can tell dan how sad their particular story is, so there's enough people at fault that you can point a finger in any particular direction and land on someone who's ruining the show via their presence and actions.

I've been listening to old episodes, and Adam closes one of the episodes with a pretty funny rendition of "Dream the Impossible Dream," and I'm like "What the hell did he do to screw this up?" By the next episode he'd "coincidentally" run into them at their favorite bar the night before, and then he stormed the stage to talk about it.
