I wonder if Len was involved?

quote:

Spanish soccer star David de Gea has denied allegations that he organized a sex party with prostitutes for two fellow footballers in 2012.

De Gea, who is with Spain's national team in France for the Euro 2016 tournament, told reporters Friday that the claims were "a lie and utterly false."

Do you have Howl? Get Howl and you got like 70 live episodes. I'm currently working through last month's live tour and just about every episode is Best Of quality.

I had been resisting Howl, since I was using the podcast iPhone app to listen to them. I have however signed up for my free week, and the content has me sold, I'll be subscribing definitely. I'm halfway through You Talking U2 To me, Started Kevin Pollack's podcast, and have started in on the CBB live tour from last month.

Plus it has a whole shitload of Spalding Gray monologues. I am sold.

VagueRant posted:

Every episode in a YEAR?! That's more than a podcast a day. How has Scott Aukerman's time-filling blabber not burned an actual hole in your MIND?!

It kind of did, actually. There was a long streatch after episode 310 or so where I found it a slog to get through. But I had to keep going. I was fully invested and had to see it to the end.
Things I have learned: Andy Daly is a certified genius, as is Lapkis. PFT is simultaneously the best and the worst improver on earth. He's super fumy and is almost never thrown for a loop, but if he gets his ire up at Scott, he has no problem with dropping out of the scene while still being in character to meta comment on whatever it is Scott is doing that he thinks is just really really dumb. Not a complaint, mind you.

Solo Bolo's loving suck 100%. I didn't know Harris Whittles had died until I heard about it on the podcast a couple months ago. I miss Foam corner.

Best Guests who arent improvers: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Caine/Connery segment was amazing. Goose and Gander still kills me.

Favorite Standalone Episode: Shifting bouncy. 1 man, 3 characters, flawless story line, full commitment and fantastic performance.

I really really like Ben Schwartz and his energy, but I can totally see how Solo Bolos grate and it brings out some of the worst in Scott.

Oh noo, you get a free month with a promo code. You can just google them, think I used 'lauren'. Not trying to play Captain Hindsight here, just thought I should say for anyone else considering trying Howl.

I am starting to see the glaring downsides of the app now though. Weird things like how it randomly plays a paused podcast when I get a text. And I had to google how on earth you delete your downloads. (On the downloads screen, you SLIDE the episode leftwards to reveal the delete button? SUPER INTUITIVE GUYS.)

Help Im Alive posted:

The Wild Horses Howl thing is pretty good too
The Perspective? Solid reccommendation, thanks! I surprisingly enjoyed their madcap interviews a lot more than the sketches. I do feel bad though, because I heart Lapkus, and I like Stephanie Allyne and Mary Holland a lot...and then there's that other one! Poor Erin. I can't even pick her voice out most the time, I think I mistake her for Mary. :smith:

Hands raw with high fives.
I think you can cancel your Howl subscription and then resubscribe and put in a free month code (HOLLYWOOD for example) to get a free month if you didn't use a code when you signed up originally.

The question was something like "would you rather be able to grant wishes or have moss for hair" and she instantly said "well why would anyone have moss for hair? Some person was trying to show they're funny."

The gimmick is that alongside what's written in the question is a whole lot of supplementary information you can only get by asking Scott. So the guests ask him a silly question and he comes up with a silly answer and so on back and forth. There's also a scoring system for the pertinence of your questions and for choosing the correct answer.
