Carnival Cruise Lines gave 2 Million Dollars to support Hurricane Harvey recovery and just pledged another 10 million to support Hurricane Irma victims. Humble Bundle, a game content provider, donates part of its proceeds to charities. The cool part is that it lets the consumer decide how much of their money goes to the content creators, host site, or charity. The second cool thing is that they just reached a benchmark of 100 million dollars donated to charities, a number they said they hope in the future will seem small. An orthodontist in Vermont is giving away free braces to children who show involvement in their community and schools. Animal Corner starts with the news that the Snow Leopard has been taken off of the endangered species list and moved to vulnerable. We also talk about Cashnip Cat, an office cat who snatches dollar bills from behind a glass doors. The office than donates the money to the Tulsa Center For The Homeless.

A totally improvised, fictitious fight between Taylor and Taylor (performed by Ego Nwodim and Jacob Wysocki of UCB’s Harold Team 8 Babies). Taylor and Taylor’s ongoing disagreement is about whether or not to get married and have kids, given boy Taylor’s really heavy, difficult past (his mom is serving thirty years in a Canadian prison). They do like to joke about girl Taylor murdering boy Taylor if he doesn’t get her pregnant, so don’t be alarmed when you hear that. Their big fight is about when girl Taylor accidentally spent Valentine’s day with a coworker who had a crush on her. You can see Julia, Ego, Jacob and many other hilarious people improvise live at UCB on Harold Night with the team 8 Babies!

Things get cute and cuddly this week as Matt, Brett, and guests Kelly Hudson and Alan Starzinski discuss We3! And by “cute” and “cuddly” we mean “heart-breaking” and “extremely violent.” Along with serious discussions about free will, find out which podcasters are dog people, which are cat people, and which one is a rabbit person (none of this is literal). Also both Alan and Kelly were on the AMC series Comic Book Men so… you know we had to talk about that. The modern Vertigo/DC Comics classic We3, by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, can be purchased online on Comixology and Amazon. Alan Starzinski is a performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City. You can see him improvise with his team Sandino at Harold Night and in their own show, Unsolved Mysteries. Kelly Hudson is an editor for College Humor as well as a performer on the Upright Citizens Brigade sketch team Beige. You can watch her in the webseries Rejected Pitches, part of the Above Average channel on YouTube. She is also an author of the fake menu Fuds. Music: “The Palace At 4 AM” by A.C.
