I missed Dr. Sweetchat's first appearance and had to go hunt it down, what an atrocious loving character for an audio medium, I loved it. Also Lily Sullivan scuttling around in the background off-mic while hunting for for "Francesca's" phone was great too.

Bookending the year with Dr.Sweetchat was a great decision. Gil Ozeri might be my MVP for this year, though I can't think of a Lily Sullivan appearance that didn't have me laughing my rear end off.

Sweetchat this time was entirely unintelligible, to everyone, not just the listening audience. 5 stars.

I still really want them to release the first episode without the voice processing on as I couldn’t understand it for poo poo and I think it’d be funny to listen to everyone not understand someone I can interpret normally.

Ozeri seems to be talking into a microphone through a keyboard or synth. It's not a filter they can just remove. The Christmas episode he's calling in through Zoom.

I remember a few years ago Scott was kind of hemming and hawing about how they were making changes to the show that some people wouldn't like when talking about talents cycling out, and a lot of the show's repeat guests from the early days hadn't been on in a while. Like you, this episode is when it dawned on me that even the second gen staples that were new back then have kind of fallen away as they have careers or focus on their own projects, while another generation of performers are becoming regulars. (Also that I have been listening to the show for a decade now and am getting old.)

For me that happened sometime in early Fall just before the tour. The new regulars are really strong, and anytime an older regular stops in they meld perfectly. It's hard to not feel like we're in a bit of a golden age of CBB at the moment.

It feels like Scott is a lot happier to just sit back and let the guests play these days. Going back and listening to old episodes where he's trying so hard to steer the show is a bit tough, and the games and segments and such generally fall completely flat for me. It's much more fun as a platform to interview insane weirdos.

RandolphCarter posted:I would like Scott to bring back Would You Rather and the Cake Boss. cakeboss There actually was a Would You Rather (with the full theme song, silence enforced and all) on a semi-recent episode but to my shame I can't remember specifically which one It came up organically, and I think Scott did it mostly to show why he doesn't do it anymore lol, it felt like a very old bit all of a sudden Sometimes I think about going back to the old episodes, but then I remember some of what those old episodes were like (crazy how the show's audience is mostly white guys) and decide to just leave the past where it is, the show is good now too

I remember when Lauren had brought in Would You Rather as a threeature for Threedom and just genuinely didn't know it was a game they used to play on CBB. PFT saying the CBB version was "would you rather peepee out your poopoo or poopoo out your peepee" is going to stick with me forever. I am glad they got away from the games, but I'm also someone who thinks Scott is often a detriment to his own show, so whatever. The new standouts are all great, and I feel like things have only gotten better since CBB World launched.

I always think of Sean's "And would you rather be honey or your grandpa's a tissue box" example on Hollywood Handbook.

One newish Scott bit I really like is openly criticising his guests improv. Near the end of a character segment he'll say "and is that everything?" and the guest tends to wither.

I remember my first attempt to get into the CBB podcast years and years ago because I binged the first couple seasons of the show and loved it. I bounced right off the podcast at first because I didn’t really know how different the formula was. I slowly got into it more and more because I had so much time to listen to podcasts at my last job. Honestly I think it’s better than ever in the years that I’ve been listening. The guests in the Christmas episode all piling on Scott is just great. Maybe thanks to Threedom and Scott Hasn’t Seen he feels less compelled to play the character of “Scott Aukerman”. So the show feels more relaxed as he lets the guests just go hogwild and he gently nudges them along. But also I could be talking about of my rear end!

A lot of it is just that Scott is low key a loving amazing stage setter for improv. On the main show he basically never hogs the spotlight by choice (half of Lily's characters are borderline making fun of this, saying he wants to eat poo poo or is ordering hentai), but is a master of pumping the gas or breaks. When a person comes on is bombing, and is a friend, he knows when to break the wall and go "well this isn't working well is it". Hardly ever does that for newbies tho, and tends to help guide them towards premises otherwise. He's not unsung per se, but it's noticeable listening to bad improv podcasts how drat great Scott is at what he does.

I also enjoy how for the interview portion of the Real Celebrity episodes he goes out of his way to never ask a normal question that the guest would have heard 100 times by now on the junket. I come away learning very little new information about the project that the celebrity is there to promote, but I like when they catch on and relax and have fun with it I was a big fan of the podcast since around the end of the Comedy Death Ray era, and then kind of fell off around the time covid hit (just because I suddenly found myself listening to a lot fewer podcasts and CBB never made the top of that short list, but it does kind of sound like if I had to miss a part of the show, the all-zoom era wasn't a bad one to miss) and am honestly really delighted that it's still good, but in a new, slightly more mature way and not just a bunch of 50 year olds trying to chase a dragon It's still one of those podcasts where I'll usually only tune in if there's a guest name I recognize that I like, but that's most of the episodes these days, they've got a good group of talent

I remember when Besser had a St. Louis(?) improv group on his show because they won a contest and it was not very good, and Besser wasn't really helping them that much. You kinda don't realize how good the regulars are that are on the earwolf shows, and many of them have been doing it for very little pay for 20+ years.

There's a recent episode where Scott bullies either Lippert or Hines (can't remember which) into changing things up when the next guest came on, and then Scott says "oh you think it didn't go well?"
