The non-Freakonomics guy on Question of the Day comes across as a total idiot so I have no idea why I'd listen to an advice podcast with a guy like that on it.

Great Sean + Chris Gethard HH today. I had no idea Sean and Chris go back so far, that was a really sweet moment.

Speaking of Chris Gethard's old UCB friends, definitely watch this episode of his show to see Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas reminisce/steamroll the poo poo out of him and also to experience the best reveal in TV this year

Twenty? I was watching the taping live, and it seemed like the better part of an hour that they cut out. It made it so much better when Chris finally broke down and showed Paul then Jason, because otherwise they would have torpedoed it completely.

Though I'm pretty convinced that (do NOT read this if you haven't watched it) the caller never said Paul Giamatti, and that Scheer somehow misheard it, then Chris repeated it incredulously. Sounded like "full body" in actuality to me .

When he guested on the show he was non-plussed about the concept and actively hostile towards the hosts. I guess Sean mentioned him in pre-taping chit-chat about how the show's weird and sometimes people don't get it.

I'm wondering if Paul already knew what was in the dumpster and his mishearing was either a slip-up or a purposeful hint.

Well there's 150+ episodes of the public access show available on their YouTube channel as well. So it might take you a bit more time than that.

Everyone should watch The Chris Gethard Show.

Don't bother with season 1 of the Fusion show, they only had 20-minutes per episode last year and the whole season felt over-edited and rushed.

This season has been good though, some episodes were duds but overall it was a nice return to their free-flowing PA weirdness. If you like basketball or John Hodgman at all go watch the Slam Dunks & Slam Poetry one.



Yes, that's John f'n Starks high-fiving Hodgman. That one and the wrestling episode feel like a weird fever dream where all my fvorite things get mashed together into a delicious mess.

Speaking of the dumpster episode of The Chris Gethard Show there's now a longer, unedited cut. But you definitely shouldn't watch it unless you've watched the original version, because this version also contains the view from inside the dumpster of Giamatti just hanging out. So that's a good 40 minutes more of Mantzoukas and Scheer loving around for y'all.

I remember reading the TVIV thread for TCGS a few years ago and always meant to check it out, but promptly forgot of course. I then remember it coming back up when he was on Fusion, so myself and a housemate just jumped into the then latest episode, which was the sleep deprivation one. The next day I went back to the PA years, and watched 8 episodes in a row.

I'm going to watch through the Fusion s1/s2 episodes as I can (as I've been super lax), but I so, so, so heartily recommend doing the public access ones from the beginning. It's amazing to watch the show evolve, and as it's insanely built on in-jokes and characters, you'll get so much more out of it. It also helps that the very first episode is super watchable and chaotic, and pretty different to what the show became.

Holy poo poo, am I glad you said this. I've been trying to work out for ages if HDTGM had more ads than the average Earwolf podcast, or if it just felt that way because of how jarring the breaks are, and how comparatively dull Paul is at reading them compared to a Paul F. or whatever.

I was convinced it was just me.

I feel like hdtgm has more add breaks than most shows but at least Paul mostly just reads copy and doesn't go on 6 minute tangents about square space.

I know it's the most popular show on ear wolf so they can have all the ads they want but it is kind of weird that the show with the three most successful, career wise, people with an earwolf podcast has the most 80 dollar ads for Lisa mattresses. Or maybe it's not weird, maybe that in Bourne hustle and willingness to sell is part of why they're all working... Hard to say.:..

I think they have roughly the same number of ads but they're more noticeable because they never remember to take a break during the record so they indiscriminately cut the commercial into the middle of a word.

Thanks for the heads up, I definitely want to see that. Do they do any retrospective season podcasts or is that it for... However long the off season is. Shame to end on an episode without both guys there. Looking forward to its return though, it's just so unique I always make time for it.
