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.
Love the show. Miss Ira butttttt Guy is amazing! Let’s make him permanent!
Please consider keeping Guy with Louis. It is the only logical choice to replace Ira. Keepit is relevant because of the cultural intelligence of the hosts. Only Guy can keep up with the brilliant knowledge of Louis Virtel.
Put me down for wanting a permanent hosting seat for Guy Branum. He and Louis together are all I want out of this world right now.
