That "Every Breath You Take" bit at the end is going to make a top notch ringtone once I decide who to assign it to.

Hi folks,

Some friends bought me and themselves tickets to CBB in Toronto for my birthday. They aren't familiar with Comedy Bing Bong. Could you suggest some of the best episodes for me to put together for them?

All the Womplers would be a good way to get current. My personal favorite other string of episodes would be all the Gillian Jacobs episodes. PFT/Bobby Moynahan ones are a close second.

He's so used to it he forgets that the new people he meets don't know about it already.

And whatever happened to June and Casey? They never came back from the bathroom. I hope the guy that got Jineane didn't kidnap them too.

That was one of the best bonus episodes yet. Usually they seem like the low-quality ones or the rushed episodes Scott does as a favor to let friends advertise their projects, but this one was amazing. I could listen to Scott and Lauren doing Todd all day.

Good point, I think part of her appeal is she doesn't do songs though, just engages with Scott in a nice in-depth interview.

All 3 of this week's guests were good background laughers, that makes every episode better.

Being able to tell what guests were coming up thanks to the background laughter was the best. I also love how big a fan PFT obviously is of the show.

I didn't remember F&P3 as being great but the clip in the best of cracked me up so I guess I'll have to check it out again. Also PFT's breakdown of the big 3 of podcasting was spot-on.

Well yeah, the quote he gave of me was from when the interview aired a year ago, and was referring to Joe Cronish, not Simon and Nick. I haven't listened to the episode with Jon Heder in a long time but I remember him being pretty game. He was on with Harris Wittels and Seth Morris, and it ran for 1:11, so maybe a little short but not much more than usual. The Joe Cornish/Edgar Wright one was 1:01.

I still kind of think it might be Joe Cornish, but Jon Heder is a possibility, I'll have to give that one another listen.

I have a tough time imagining that Edgar Wright is the type of person to rage out over not fully understanding a comedy podcast's format.

No one is saying this, so I think you're probably right.

The whole discussion is kind of frustrating since there's no way of telling who it is, Gobias really pulled a number on us here.

Yeah Braunger was pretty garbage in an otherwise good show. I don't really like him that much at the best of times but he seemed like he was trying to WIN THE SHOW or something.

If you're looking for another dose of Matt Walsh today's I4H is especially hilarious.

And he's the guest on Never Not Funny this week. I always enjoy him on NNF because he and Jimmy are old friends.

I regularly have moments watching TV or movies with friends or my former girlfriend whom I married where I start to say "oh cool that's (comedian/improviser I know from podcasts)" and I have to stop myself because nobody cares.

Yeah, this is me all the time. Like my wife and I went to see a movie the other day and during the pre-preview commercials stuff there was a little promo for Playing House and I said I was looking forward to seeing it and my wife thought I was messing with her.

The Never Not Funny survey were very similar except with way more married people and people with children, it's Earwolf's dadchat podcast I guess.

I thought Todd's pre-coming-out stories were super interesting, before he got in to territory he talks about all the time. Luckily I don't think that part lasted all that long before James started doing characters.

I kind of think it would be better if Scott didn't hold all the characters to such an official canon but on the other hand I'm not really sick of any recurring characters I can think of

Golden Bee posted:

Front half underwhelmed. Joe is the nicest guest CBB has ever had, but his yes-and is so fast that there's no friction at all between him and Scott. A little "oh, yeah, I get it" is what Scott and PFT have and their dynamic is always conducive.

I agree but it's definitely worth going through the just-ok first half to get to the good second half, but I doubt it was ever bad enough for people to give up on it.

I think the thing that cracked me up the most about his CBB TV appearance was them coming back from commercial to Horatio out of character telling an SNL story.

Not officially, but as far as I know the unofficial ones this guy put together still work:

Since you can still download everything from the source of the howl.fm page in exactly the same way as you could when it launched, I assume this guy's method hasn't been broken either.

Now that I'm fully on board for the boys, where would be a good Reality Show Show episode to give that show another shot? I couldn't get into it before because I didn't fully understand their humor AND the world of reality TV is utterly foreign to me. So I had no idea what they were talking about and what was a bit and what wasn't 99% of the time.

IMO real Hollywood Handbook style humor starts from episode 10 on. I love every RSS episode though
