Just saw Harmon's cameo in Arrested Development, still elated and out of breath at the convergence of my two favorite sitcoms. Looking forward to see if it gets a mention on the next podcast.

Nothing substantative. He talked about it on an earlier show, briefly, but I think it got cut from the broadcast.

What's Adam Goldberg's story? I know he is not the actor nor the writer, when did he became a part of Harmontown and why?

Listen to episode 1, he shows up in the first few minutes. The rest is history and mystery.

RE Jeremy: He made a huge post on R/Harmontown about how he was really, really drunk when he came on stage. He had been drinking because he hadn't taken the breakup well.

More broadly:
The metanarrative of how everyone on the podcast thinks they come across (enlightened) is very, very different from how they actually act, which is 20-30% of why the show is so hilarious. The only two who're consistent with how they act in terms of politics and patronization are really Spencer and Kumail, which is why they're the best characters. There's a Dan monologue this week that ends in a really neat reveal about how he feels about black people. Also, during D&D I'm 90% sure he drops the N-bomb and the crowd does not go for it.

I dunno how accurate I am since I've never been there in person
It's just one of those generational/performative things. I think people's podcast success is inversely proportional to how much they want and need to succeed. It's why Spencer is so lovable and authentic. He doesn't care. Kumail might care a little, but he's a standup star and can handle himself on the stage. Jeff plays to the crowd (a lot of facial expressions that obviously don't come across to the taped audience) but is happy to be there.

If my girlfriend had a personality podcast, it'd be very awkward to come out every week and carry the weight of our relationship. The less stage time you have, the more you have to make every word count, so Erin is almost always in the position of having to play catch up (let's address the show's core point...let's address whatever Dan said about our relationship...and let's not take too long so we can get D&D in).

My own failures are due to the time constriction as much as anything. My best appearance was by far was on "U.S.S. Hubris" where I was on stage for a longish segment and able to get the rhythm down. And now that my life is going a lot better than it was last year, I don't care as much if I'm on stage or not, so the Oscar appearance worked pretty well.

I don't know, whenever I hear a guy like Jeff go on for ten minutes about how great women and feminism are I can't help but think to myself "this guy must really loving hate women to feel like he has to overcompensate this badly." It would not surprise me in the least if Dan had a ton of skeletons in his closet.

Adam next time you bring your laptop to the show, record the entire show and then upload it as a harmontown bootleg.

That would've been cool a year ago, but ever since the tour they don't cut anything unless it's literally a legal matter. The bootleg would be 20 seconds of the audience WOOing as Jeff enters the stage and 30 seconds of Xanadu over chairs moving around.

I'm kind of hoping they try a new game for awhile. Maybe even let Spencer take a break and play?

There's a mix of "don't want to/aren't capable of" playing, which has got to be frustrating. Dan's often too drink to contribute (it's his quietest part of the show), they ask obvious questions that Spencer's spiel answers ("where are we?"), they've been openly complaining about pointlessness (ever since the isle of paradise)...

Spencer's great, but D&D has run its course.

People that know more about animation business practices: is forming a shell company for an individual show the kind of thing that is likely to have detrimental effects on the staff, or was the timing of that and the unionization just a wacky coincidence?

Every tv-show or movie forms its own company. That way an on-set accident can't cost the parent company millions and millions of dollars.

Edit: It seems lovely for the Unionization to demand action from last thing Friday to first thing Monday.
