    I have loved Jo Firestone since I first saw her in Joe Pera’s tv show! What a delight.

    I love Jo so much. So glad she'll be head writer of the new "After Midnight" post-Colbert slot.

    Mike, this was a treat. I've been listening since the beginning and this is easily my favorite episode among so many great ones. The joke was something like, "If you want to see what the future looks like, Google your aunt." Makes no sense, you were perplexed, and I couldn't stop laughing. That's Steve Martin level non-sequitur comedy. Jo makes me consistently laugh and you got to what her funny is. Wish this would have been two hours. I adore here in the same way I worship Maria Bamford and Julie Klausner. They could read a recipe and I'd die.

      ​​@@SecretGermsGrammatical corrections make sense if the mistake you're correcting seems like it comes from an actual misunderstanding of the English language someone can be assisted with and learn from. This is obviously a simple typo, not a misunderstanding of English. Your comment seems pointless.

    Excellent interviewing Mike, your straight man/recap reflective listening with Jo maxed out all the funny from y'all's convo! I was wildly entertained yet often had no idea how we got there. Jo's perspective and selective-detail storytelling made for so many "wait, what?" laughs.

    Oh my god this was so funny and so odd and uncomfortable. She’s like an interviewer’s nightmare and you can see Mike is trying so hard to figure out where to go next, and eventually they found their rhythm. I also laughed harder than most of the other episodes of this. 😂😂
