LOVED the Lovett and Kyle Mc. Episode! You two made me cackle a few times 🤣
This podcast continues to be great even without Ira who is dearly missed, but please hire Kyle Buchanan as your permanent second host. His knowledge of pop culture is right up there with Louis’s and they always have excellent chemistry.
Could this be the podcast episode ever? Just changed my three dinner guest answer (now only need two). Keep It! Has achieved perfection in the New England boomer wife demo.
In reference to September 17 episode, Stephen Colbert correctly quoted the lyrics to Prince’s Let’s Go Crazy. “When the elevator tries to break you down, go crazy, punch a higher floor.”
Louis, you’re the funniest, hottest guy in podcasting right now.
I’ve loved a lot of guest cohosts, but Guy was my favorite. Margaret Cho was also fantastic.
I’m so glad the show is continuing without Ira as much as we miss him.
