1686: Hardcore the Vote

[chelseagirl19]

I loved all of these guests. Rich and Bonnie are incredibly funny together, and separately.

Michael was a voice of reason that this particular episode greatly needed. The dynamic was perfect.


Ben Roy was absolutely my favorite new guest and I hope to hear him on the show again!

[Dean from Australia]

Now THIS was the kind of post election show I was hoping for. Ben Roy sounds like a really great human being. Witty, intelligent and fucking funny.

During the discussion about the phone call from Mitt to Obama, I kept visualizing Keith's Denzel Washington as Obama.

Funniest line from this show came from Keith - "In all fairness, if all I knew about homosexuals was Will & Grace...I'd hate 'em too."

Agree with everything Dean said and I'd also add that Ben Roy's chemistry jived perfectly with Keith and Chemda. Just a pleasure, this guy! Was already completely sold and then he started joking about Rufio's comments, "Your voice is important Rufio and it's being heard" etc. Hilarious. Also, it's nice when people are just naturally evolved or whatever, however, I prefer people like Ben Roy who have sincerely put in the work of personal introspection. A guy who clearly comes from a fucked up - racist place, (like Boston) and has progressed and evolved through alcoholism and personal turmoil; making it through to the other end. His personality is genuine, forged in humility, and his humor about it all: perfect. I'm gonna pretend he doesn't have stupid-ass, misspelled tatoos for two reasons: 1) Hell, this is an audio podcast and I didn't see 'em. 2) The guys a total gentleman. Really can't say enough good things about this guest. Possible Katguh nominee for awesome.

Thank you so much for posting the Rachel Maddow commentary. I linked it to my facebook and attached it to my utlra-Conservative father's facebook post. I doubt he will be able to hear the sentient conveyed, but I certainly did; and it made me profoundly happy.

Ben was fucking hilarious, and he was also a genuinely kind human being. I'm happy to meet him and I hope those of you who came to the live show tonight in NYC got a chance to see him hanging out at the Creek. Man, that guy. One of a kind.

Also, the poll: Serious political discourse. I love it. I love when the show really takes place in the here and now.

Also, you're drunk. Not me. Shut up.

Great guest.

I felt like Ben was fairly unremarkable as a guest until he started addressing the feedback. Then he totally won me over. It reminded me of Joe DeRosa's first appearance, when at some point he tore into the chat and viciously took down some poor schlub who said a couple of dumb things.

Loved hearing Ben's side of JFod's latest adventure too.
