this episode poses the question of how an episode can go off the rails if if never seems to have any in the first place

[@Matp78]

I'm afraid of the naked cruise.

[@mackisbrocklesnar]

The episode was amazingly entertaining, which is its purpose. So 10/10.

Omni Trolley: Death on A Million Wheels

[@lubnachitalwalla]

I came here to complain about why the show I love is not numbered but then I smoked and realised I actually like it the lack of numbering because it makes the show fun to watch in a chaotic manner and then have a whole new experience when I watch it again in the correct order. Also this is the first time I’ve clicked on my first video of an episode and landed at the beginning of that episode.

[@ames-inthe-grass]

the playlists put them in order!!

@@ames-inthe-grass no!!! Don’t ruin this for me 😂😂. I was feeling profound.

Giving it a thumbs up is a good way to make sure that you are shown content that is new to you

[@Grt120453]

Great to see Mike Birbiglia doing this show. You’re getting great guests and typically unhinged love it

[@sweetheartbreaker09]

Atsuko is back YAYYYYY!

[@yohmsaw]

This is the best pannel ever. They are just out there having fun.

[@alexanderhancock525]

I like the very genuine mutual appreciation between Mike and Atsuko

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

Atsuko, the prize is our hearts when you raw dog your way back to Australia. We look so much forward to you being here with us.

[@OOFrankeyOO]

I really enjoyed this episode. Everyone seemed so authentic, creative and chaotic. The humor is very intelligent and there was kind of a theme about being open about mental health and being yourself. Idk if that was on purpose. I think not, the energy was just right and contagious. I would love to see more content like that.

[@prospect689]

Atsuko is back 🔥

[@AtsukoComedy]

😘 ❤

[@harkiratsingh4594]

From philosophy of underwear to drinking in between crying i think this episode taught us a lot.

[@lb5368]

Mike and Atsuko onstage together, I am so here for this! Can't wait to see more from Sydnee❤

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

As someone who went on a cruise and got the WORST sunburn of my life due to using expired sunscreen (bad enough that I had blisters on my thigh and my nose and I was in serious pain), I would really worry about a nudist cruise.

[@JacyndaMinor]

Atsuko looks AMAZING

[@JoeTBF13]

First time I saw Atsuko was as the opener for Mike when he was touring Old Man and the Pool, nice to see them together again.

[@lb5368]

Same! Have you heard them talking on Mike's podcast, Working It Out? They have great comedian chemistry 😊

[@christiankjrbl8397]

Wait wait wait, Jo Firestone is headwriter on this show? That's amazing! Love hearing her try to keep Dr Gameshow on the rails.

[@carina9295]

How Jo vetted Mike: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWmomHVpZb2tfqs

[@Ryanneey]

Record scratch! I love her, and I haven't thought about that podcast in years. I wish she could be a future guest on the show.

[@MrThom8804]

I can't wait for this show to run a while to do a tournament of champions.

[@scarlettalexandra4157]

The first drum is a bingo the second drum is a bongo but when they got married the first drum took her husband's name, so they are the Bongos.

[@angryface01]

Gotta be honest… this is the best thing I’ve read today. Thank you!!!

[@grankmisguided]

"so I'm here for the cruise."

[@nimue325]

That chocolate milk thing sounded like a lovely moment of self-care and then I realized that every morning I pour a travel mug full of half Tazo chai and half soy milk to drink as I drive from the suburbs into the city, which is 100% the Gen X white woman version. Dear god.

[@draeblack5665]

Can't sleep, now I'm laughing. @midnight's target audience 😊

[@thecat4315]

So true

[@wiredforstereo]

I love how informal this show is. I think it's Birbiglia energy. Here would be my dream lineup: Birbiglia, Bamford, and Pete Holmes.

[@pineapple_pup]

Atsuko is my favorite!!!

[@Nancy-jc4bv]

Ya know i have a lot of nostalgia with school chocolate milk. So like going through shit as an adult, and then realizing you can just get the chocolate milk yourself and that's pretty cool

[@yeseniap9541]

I feel the way Drew Carrey did about Phish for this episode… def the BEST one yet

[@benchiaase]

Half the video is riffing on the Met Gala. Love the chaotic energy!

[@Ryanneey]

Jo Firestone is the head writer?! No wonder I love this show 😊

[@YouHadMeAtMoonPie]

I want some bongos! Best prize yet

[@jaebee1121]

Mike Birbiglia is one of my very favorite comedians; I have loved every special he's put out and the only reason I can't say definitively that he is my absolute favorite is because I think Sheng Wang and I might share a soul.

[@caleighchilds1208]

So pleasantly surprised to see Mike Birbiglia!❤

[@yocean14]

ATSUKO is back!!! YEAHHH!!

[@DashaFayvinova]

OKAY! Now that I know Jo is the head writter everything makes sense! The guests being awesome, the incredibly fun games - HELL YEA.

[@EmiMac20]

The theme was “Garden of Time” inspired by the 1962 short story of the same name by J.G. Ballard.

[@captainfantasticmcawesomev3381]

The chocolate milk in my car is 100% me, to the point to where my friends just expect/accept it

[@Nancy-jc4bv]

OMG ATSUKO IS BACK YES! omg would love to see Irene tu again. Or these two together omg

[@Frobias]

Of course Atsuko understands self care. There's a clip of a couple breaking up at one of her shows and the dude stays to keep watching and even she was like.. "Nah man, my husband's gonna help you chase her down otherwise this won't end well you fool" (albeit nicer)

[@user-rt4zb8xp8b]

nude cruise: disappointed no one was there for the "hot tea bags"

[@JesgateOnDown]

Some major network hurry & give Atsuko her own show. ✨

[@TheGodExperiments]

Editors have upped their game, I almost didn't notice the transition from everyone at 300 to everyone at 600 points. Does make me hope that someday there will be a BD set or a special uncut version (FWIW, the Paramount version also has the skip).

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

0:30 so true. “Keep it on! Keep it on!”

[@---l---]

Mike Birbiglia!

[@AdrianColley]

8:40 "You have to drink a lot of water between your hourly cries." Counterpoint: if you dehydrate yourself enough, your body will not waste its depleted supplies on tears. A cure for crying!

[@uninvincibleete]

lol the way that taylor read the intro to the nudist cruise had a very jane lynch air about it, and i'm here for it

[@chrisarcher1146]

What you were holding (I believe) are “Bongos” or “Bongo Drums” because there is one drum each of two different tones. Also: the chocolate milk…… add a slice of pizza and this is me after going to the gym. I’m not depressed, I’m just hungy and a pound of chicken fried rice takes at least 5 minutes of waiting AND another 90 seconds of driving.

[@UnderstandingDarkness]

I see Mike I click. 💞🤟

[@aliigatorwine]

I love this show so much

[@uninvincibleete]

LMFAO I was having a bad day yesterday and literally ordered a kids' chocolate milk from McDonalds hahaaa it's so true

[@Xhalph]

That blazer is searing my retinas but Taylor is so pretty that I won't look away.

[@AdrianColley]

6:00 that's exactly how I found out I'm old.

[@ohotnitza]

[@andyto629]

Gotta love Birbigs aka Bahooski

[@Tweetyresm]

Instead of chocolate milk, I can one of those Starbucks bottled frappacino drinks... so I can reup on my energy to cry...

[@andrewwhite1305]

Fairlife Chocolate milk is the best, honestly, it's amazing

[@Nancy-jc4bv]

watch in order by ordering the scores show in the first few seconds of the clip!

[@DarthD00bius]

Atsuko makes a good point but Jake Johannsen already told that joke. Or maybe Jake got it from Confucius.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Where’s this Playlist button thing is to watch the clips in order?

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

Fine the 3 dots under the video? I've had to reload a lot of pages because not everything loaded, like only the "Share" and "Download" buttons would load with the video. Which was fine, until you want to add to a playlist.

[@carina9295]

BIRB! (where?)

[@KarlRoyale]

If that cruise does not have a "baby oil Twister Tournament" it will be very disappointing...

[@briansneary7535]

Just the tip. A pant, one scissor

How on Earth did no one think of tetherball for the nude cruise? Thinking about it hurts!

What a weird comment. NO POINTS!

[@guaposneeze]

Mike Birbiglia is 45. He's an old man at this point. I'm in my 40's, so I am an expert in being that old. Stuff stops working. From the perspective of a 20 year old, 40's may as well be 60's.

[@ToBoyHere]

Last time I saw a naked charter cruise, one of the crew members on that ship got arrested for beating a female passenger half to death because she spurned his advances. I know the cruise lines allow crew members to choose whether they want to work those charters or not, but sometimes things go a little crazy. I hope they all stay safe on that cruise. Just saying.

[@Mx12b]

Did i just see a twitch streamer on tv and it wasnt the news???

[@Palidine4M0O]

A buffet with a double-sneeze guard?

[@angryface01]

Does no one notice the points just… double sometimes…? Just, it was 300 300 and then 600 600 Am I ok? Did I just see that? Oh shit I’m late for my shift at the clinic. …shit…. Side note: if you wonder why your PCP is always late…. It’s because our self-care is watching comedy so that we can bolster ourselves up every day do keep on fighting the good fight. That’s not really true but I gotta go literally right NOW.

[@SizzleMoonSong]

As per title : unless one is repulsed by opulent consumption, puedo celebrities, and are lactose intolerant or allergic to chocolate... In which case, are in fact... even more depressed.
