I have Prime already so it's not an issue for me, but that is exactly the kind of thing that I loathe about the coming age of ala carte streaming media.

It's almost a shame that Big Chunky Bubbles immediately takes up two of my live votes, because there's a lot of great material spread across the whole tour, but so it goes.

That Spont combined with today's CBB and a holiday re-listen to "The 3-Year Diet" furthered my suspicion that I really need to watch Bajillion Dollar Properties. That crew is endlessly hilarious to me, with Ryan Gaul standing as particularly brilliant. A Seeso subscription is looking more and more likely as a

If memory serves he also got stuck co-starring in some super-skeevy shock flick that climaxed with a guy taunting a dead woman while sexually mutilating her corpse. Stallone tried to bail on the production but wound up having to do it under threat of lawsuit, because the director wasn't about to let a marquee name

On the eleven o'clock news tonight, a certain kind of soft drink has been found to be lethal! We won't tell you which one until after sports and the weather with funny Sonny Storm.

Anytime OK Go comes up in conversation with my music nerd friends, I know to expect a cavalcade of eye-rolling, scoffing and outright hate. I'm never gonna get that. The songs are catchy if not earth-shaking, the videos are reliably inventive, and they're one of the only entertainments my kid has ever wanted to watch

I don’t want any zombie turkeys, I don’t want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don’t want any other weird surprises. You got it?

According to Ben Gibbard, Los Angeles smells like an airport runway.

The PFT episode in particular is some kind of genius. I thought it lost a little steam as things got increasingly tangled and convoluted, but I'd love to see it expanded into a semi-regular Earwolf joint.

I adore Maria Thayer, but she got flustered immediately and thoroughly right out of the gates today. Which of course does very little to dispel said adoration.

I guess I didn't find it especially funny either, now that you mention it. But I did find it plenty charming, and sometimes low-key and charming is exactly what I need.

The Sully episode is a dark horse favorite of mine too. There's such an easy chemistry among Scott, Paul and Michelle Billoon.

I listened to the whole thing and liked it a fair bit, although I can't say I'm lusting for more. That and James Urbaniak's A Night Called Tomorrow put me in mind of the "Tales from the Black Lagoon" segments of Thrilling Adventure Hour, which I count as quite a good thing.

Mine too, along with "My Silly Moss Man." Any Wengert appearance pretty much defaults to my top ten at this point. That cat's sense of humor just rubs me the right way.

Looking it up, I guess Toys did indeed come out around the same time that "Little Earthquakes" was peaking. I presume "The Happy Worker" was recorded slightly before she broke big, though.

Plus a pre-superstardom Tori Amos doing a dance track that I like better than anything else in her catalog. I bought the soundtrack on cassette and had it on regular rotation in my high school playlist, right alongside the Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting soundtrack albums.

Oh, that will absolutely be in the final Best Of. The Apple Tree song is arguably the most iconic moment to emerge from this season of CBB.

100% with you there. Both BCB tour appearances made me laugh as hard as I ever have at a podcast. I wish the tour was open for voting, as there are probably four or five dates that would make my Best Of list.

Hollywood Handbook had its moments - the Bath Cam in particular - but mostly confirmed my suspicion that I'm not ready to laugh about the election yet. (That's on me, though. Good for Sean and Hayes for diving right back in.)

My biggest issue with Stranglers is how much it felt like a Scripps-mandated, "Earwolf needs a Serial" maneuver.
