If we're ranking ad reads then Paul Scheer is at the bottom. HDTGM is one of the only podcasts were I feel i have to skip the ads.

Every time he mentions having a fat friend who lost weight I think it's funny.

Are you including the old MBMBaM ads about dick-cages in that category, because if so I'll have to disagree.

I enjoyed listening to it, but that 10 minute chime/sound byte that they apparently don't hear has got to go. They just talked straight through it

i listened to the nate silver episode of the katie couric podcast and it kind of blew my mind. someone called in and left an election limerick on the show voicemail. her cohost corrects silver's pronunciation of nevada and silver is silent in a way that suggests barely repressed fury. she calls him "kind of like a rock star" and he basically responds by saying that the election has made him extremely tired and he just wants to go on vacation. the photo of silver & couric makes him look like one of the least comfortable people alive.

I'm very happy that Katie Couric is a host of an Earwolf podcast so we can discuss her podcast in this, the Earwolf thread.

I'm glad that line is getting some attention. It felt like the first time in a long time where someone smoothly said no thanks to a weird Scott suggestion. I don't even remember what he misspoke about except that it would've derailed everything.

I hadn't listened to this episode and yeah he shuts down a lot of stuff, including Scott trying to get him to say that kids were casting spells in the cafeteria (Joe shows up after the first commercial break, ~40 minutes)

I feel like Joe has shot down Scott's "You briefly said a single wrong thing and were already in the process of correcting yourself but now I am going to attempt to hold you to that forever" improv stylings more than once. His willingness to say "No" is refreshing to hear when everybody else mechanically refuses to break from Yes, And.

gemberling is also good for sometimes just literally sighing in exasperation at something scott said and responding with a slow, measured response that resembles "sure, i guess what you said is funny."

The Gemberling character that had multiple personalities infuriated Scott because he'd switch every time Scott would try to develop anything.
