Without giving too much away, what was the "aha" moment for everyone? For me, it was when Dan phoned about the walk from Verona to New York, and I thought it was more than a coincidence that he followed Pat. Then when a certain caller with a distinct radio voice called in to annoy and challenge Tom, I was certain.

As a Canadian and former Montrealer, I feel like so many did when Prince and Bowie died earlier this year. He matters so, so much to me and I miss him already. Leonard Cohen was a major reason why I chose to go to McGill. I was enamoured with him in high school, and my love has only grown fonder.

I've been so impressed by Love Me. I listen to a lot of great CBC podcasts, but it's refreshing to have one that doesn't feel the need to be overly Canadian (thus demonstrating its Montreal-ness). Plus the credits are stellar; the producers of Wiretap, Music by Tim Kingsbury and Murray Lightburn, and repeat…

Easily, the Phil LaMarr episode the best all-round non-live episode since "Savannah, Georgia".

Tom Scharpling is *really* gonna hate this thread.

I was a bit concerned about this album at first because I wasn't a huge fan of the first track released. "Voices in My Head" is a fine song, but it's more melodic and didn't grab me like "The Descent" and " I Don't Know You Anymore" had. Fortunately, "The End of Things" assuaged any anxiety I had, and the few other…

The joke with CBB is that the Best Ofs are probably the worst place to begin with the show because there are so many Aukerman and Tompkins in-jokes and characters with confusing backstories such as the Womplerverse. It all depends on your favourite type of comedy and what celebs you like, but here are a few of my…

This was pretty good, but nothing will beat the Ron Paul one from last cycle.

The Mark Forward Comedy Podcast put out 3 episodes this week and it was glorious. We got 2 instalments of Eric's beautifully awful Family Manimal readings, and the No Topic Tuesday episode gave us the catchphrase "Bang the goat. No one knows."

Jonah Ray is truly the Goebbels of Nerdist.

Glad to see so much love on this site for Pontypool!

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Saw him open for Craig Ferguson last week and even though he used a lot of his material from his album, I was still in stitches. I laugh just as hard at him and Eric Andrews as I do at Scott Aukerman or Paul F. Tompkins most weeks.

Le grille! What the hell is that?

Fortunately, NBC's decision to move Hannibal doesn't affect the Canadian broadcast schedule, so we lucky canucks got to watch the episode early.

On FJ, I just looked at the year and the word "Western" and figured it had to be the Hoover Dam. It wasn't until just before the music ended that I realized the Golden Gate Bridge is considerably more resplendent.

This is good A.V. Club, uh, content.
