Much as I love PFT, I think some of his characters are already running on fumes so I'm not sure it'd work as well. Don Dimello's the only Andy Daly character who's appeared a bunch of times.

Also, I wonder if Jason Mantzoukas will be on one of the Podcast Pilots, seems only right he should be.

I swear Billy Merritt sounds like Mantzoukas to me. Every time I hear the announcer on Podcast Pilot, I think it's him.

It's Andy Daly day at earwolf, god drat! Can't wait to listen to NNF/PP.

Do yourself a favor and don't look at the guest list of the Pilot Project. The guest list/character list is amazing.

E: holy poo poo there's no way they can top this episode.

I have a feeling it won't be long until I talk myself into buying those old SuperEgo episodes, now.

Totally worth it, superego is one of my top 3 podcasts (CBB second and DLM/NNF tied) and I still relisten to the old eps.

In my opinion, season 1 is weaker than the others (but still worth it) so you might want to try later episodes.


Also, I've bought the live eps. They're great, but fair warning: they're like 35-40 min. long total.

Compared to other pay-for podcast episodes, I'd say no. It was pretty much on-par with the other episodes.

Oh God yes, especially Posehn's reaction. And what a perfect way for Sir Richard to go out. Looking forward to the next insane Jerry character..

I think this is the first time I've ever hear Andy's voice crack mid-word and he almost completely revert to his normal speaking pattern for a second.

Similarly hilarious when Matt Gourley's voice changes from trying to hold it together, he sounds like his recurring crazy-person character "Kotch" on Superego.

Yeah, they posted the old episode this week because Jimmy was sick.


So they'll probably make pay-for archived eps free whenever that happens (which is surprisingly infrequent considering how often he's sick)

Kent Alterman, who directed Semi-Pro, he was the Comedy Central executive in charge of the Upright Citizens Brigade way back in the day when they had a show on Comedy Central... they put him in charge of Comedy Central.

It a great podcast anyway but when PFT is on, it's even better.


Totally agree! It's a good podcast with guests I've never heard of, and amazing with some guests like PFT.

Everyone should check the last few pages of the SPY thread, it goes over the other great guests (Kinane, Tobin, ect.)

The latest Nerd Poker is pretty ok for those who might have been worried. Yeah, the first half is a little rocky and they felt unsure but once they got into it it was fun. Blaine is great at NPCs so that helps. Plus it feels more old school D&D which is nice. No Jerry though which is sad. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Good to hear. I generally enjoyed Blaine's goofing around but was worried he'd go over-the-top with it while being DM.


Nerd Poker needs Jerry back. Can't wait for him/others to make appearances.

Matt Gourley is a genius though, and likely an integral part to the success of the andy daly series. I think PFT's podcast could using some wrangling and once reined in could be great too.

Yeah, at the very least I think improv/comedian characters benefit from having other people in the room to mix things up.

The problem was even Matt doesn't really care about his "feud" with Mississippi. I don't know why he even had the guy on, it doesn't seem like Case Closed is a very popular segment in the first place so there's no sense in forcing it.

I haven't heard the episode/segment you're referring to yet, but I know for a fact hating Mississippi is a weird Arkansan thing, and Matt is from Arkansas.


It's incredibly stupid, but anyway that's probably where his "feud" started...

People post about hating guests all over this subforum, not just the DLM thread.

I'd change the DLM thread to ask it not be pages of disliking guests, but why? I'd rather it be a mix of opinions than completely one way or another. Pages of circlejerking would be annoying too.

If a podcast based around competitive games is going to change guests every episode, and release episodes once a week or more, there's going to be more guests people don't like.

I'll throw in a random guess. It'll be a call-in show, where PFT answers calls in character.


Completely based on nothing, other than wondering if the "nation" refers to fans.

Fortified milk is one of the, if not the major reasons rickets is gone, nevermind lowering rates of osteoporosis/adding minerals to diet/correcting for low VitD levels in high-melanin patients/ect.
