This episode lacks our usual segments like News of the Stupid, Comments, and most of our end-of-the-show stuff, due to newborn-related inconvenience. Here’s what it does have: The first and most significant part consists of Carrie recounting the events of Alex’s birth day. Joining us is her temporary live-in baby-helper, Moonbeam of the often recorded but rarely posted podcast “Blasted Bill & Moonbeam’s Pod Of Destiny”. And since one hyperactive blonde child isn’t enough for this podcast, we have her son Ferris as well as Luke. The second part consists of the trio of adults discussing their favorite bits from the current run of Saturday Night Live. The third part was literally copied and pasted from Episode #92 of the FuMPcast, where Luke Ski, Devo Spice, ShoEboX, Chris Mezzolesta, and Insane Ian recap MarsCon 2012 (so if you already heard it, you can skip the last 45 minutes of the show). We also have comedy tracks by Garfunkel & Oates, The Arrogant Worms, Da Vinci’s Notebook, MC Frontalot, Carrie Dahlby, SNL, and Cirque du So What? from their new album “Stupid Cowboy Thing – Volume 2: Additional Squid”.
Speaking of new albums, we just released “Luke & Carrie’s Bad Rapport: Best Of 2011” album! It’s one CD with just under 80 minutes of highlights from our 2011 podcast episodes, featuring appearances by our spouses, friends, colleagues, and sometimes Carrie hits Luke and you can hear it. A lot. It’s only $9.99 plus shipping for the CD with MP3 download, or you can just get the MP3 download for only $4.99! So please support the show and pick one up today. Do it for President Baby.

Cheri Oteri? CHERI OTERI?! I demand citations! I cannot recall one instance where your good friends at The Scope have lauded Ms. Oteri. Personally, I skipped most of her seasons.
While I agree that SNL has seen a recent uptick in quality, it’s still rather hit and miss. I do agree with Carrie that Taran Killam has been doing phenomenal work.
GREAT improv skit at the very end of the episode!
