    Yeah, I listened to it this AM on my commute (my Monday morning commutes are very long), and the parts about his Weekend Update interview went by pretty quickly. At one point, Michaels even marveled at how many little details Marc remembered. As in like, why is this still a thing with you?

    This was potentially the most bored I've ever been watching this show. In previous seasons, their stall tactics and wheel-spinning were somewhat new, but now that it's this far into the series, everything was so predictably boring. I checked out for a few minutes at a time in a few places. I barely know some of these

    If I had to think of a celebrity that would be on the cover of Golf Monthly, it would be Colin Jost. And if I had to think of a magazine that Colin Jost would be on the cover of, it would be People Who Look Like A Lamprey Quarterly.

    I'm enjoying the fact that Quentin is misspelled like fifty times in a row.

    The vocals and overall lo-fi aesthetic gave me a Guided By Voices feeling, which is very authentic for that character.

    Both it and Kirkegaard in general are considered something like 'proto-existentialism' (like Dostoevsky sometimes is), if I'm not mistaken.

    I have never listened to his riffs or licks. He talks a lot about the blues, and I find generic blues riffs really boring (I'm not a musician if that helps explain why) so I always check out as soon as he picks his guitar up.

    It's definitely hard for me to listen to a bit-heavy podcast when I'm doing any kind of work, too. I mainly use them for driving and for running.

    Her conversation with Brad Garrett's character gave me chills and I thought he got scared a little.

    I might not be connecting this right, but I feel like Floyd or maybe even Peggy makes it out alive. Fargo the movie had Frances McDormand (Marge) and John Carol Lynch in sort of reversed gender roles (stereotypically speaking for movies/TV), with Marge also being calm, competent, and in control in her vocation despite

    I was sort of thinking that myself. iirc, 'Fear and Trembling' is largely about Abraham and Isaac, and Abraham 'suspending the ethical' and having faith in sacrificing his son, Isaac (and being a Knight of Infinite Faith). I'm too dumb to know how this connects to this EP, however, unless there's an Otto/Dodd or

    A few things it has going for it:

    who have boring jobs or long commutes and need something to pass the time

    Excellent observation!

    Just that Marc is severely uncool

    I don't know if it deserves or even wants a wider audience, but I listen to 'The Great Debates' every week. Basically, it's just two comedy writers who have known each other since they were kids (from what I gather) debating stupid topics. One of the debaters is Steve Hely, who has, according to his wiki page, written

    I always feel like I need a sincerity shower when I listen to this show.

    haha awesome. I just noticed up there that Rebecca wrote 'Frankensteins' instead of 'Frankingsteins'. For shame, Rebecca!

    PFT's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was actually pretty impressive. I know it was a throwaway joke, but I would love it if Scott made every guest sing it before 'Plugs'.

    It's like a weird, condescending tone that makes it obvious that Sean is, as you say, saying the opposite of what he believes while 'Sean' is taking a firm, dickhead stance on it. It really is a perfect humor voice.
