For our pre-May sweeps episode, we welcome the very funny comedian and TV star Mr. Wyatt Cenac as our guest co-host. We take it easy on Wyatt with the more-watchable-than-usual Knight and Day, which just leads to double the usual digressions. Meanwhile, Elliott introduces yet another new Batman villain, Wyatt turns our podcast into his demo reel, and Dan just sits back and does his best to yes-and the proceedings.

0:34 – 6:57 – We’re so delighted by our special MYSTERY GUEST (whose identity was ruined in the show description) that we take even longer than usual to get to the point.

47:30 – 48:30 – Final judgments.
48:31 – 54:50 – The sad bastards recommend.
54:51 – 56:34 – Goodbyes, theme, and outtakes.

Flaws:
Thinks he is his own sidekick, “Spoiler Alert”
Origin: The Contest Ruiner was driven mad by toxic chemicals in the glue of the return envelope in the 80th Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes entry that was marked “guaranteed winner”. Incredibly knowledgeable due to his extremely affordable subscriptions to many informative magazines, he tricks people into getting into contests, then he ruins them by revealing tricks, answering faster, or just throwing away the entries. Currently being sued by the Riddler for copyright infringement. (Riddler got the idea from the lawsuit against him by Guess? Jeans.)
Great episode, could you ask Wyatt Cenac to guest again? I’ve listened at least 3 times to this podcast and it still cracks me up every time!
