Lisa Schmeiser

Lisa Schmeiser is the Incomparable network's go-to panelist when comic books are involved and cohosts Phil and Lisa Ruin the Movies with her husband, Philip Michaels. She also hosts on TeeVee episodes for a variety of shows, including The Flash, The Defenders, and Sons of Anarchy.

She's appeared as a guest on several shows around the network, including as a regular on The Incomparable and periodic contestant on Inconceivable!. She did some vocal work on the original run of The Incomparable Radio Theater.
Glenn Fleishman

Glenn Fleishman first appeared on The Incomparable in episode 1, and has been ruining it ever since.

Hailing from the Greater Peekskil-Yorktown Heights metro area, Glenn is a two-time Jeopardy! winner.

Glenn has made several appearances on TPK, most notably as a magic user in the Whitesparrow adventures. One of Glenn's children attempted to assist him in the role.

Glenn's children are known to stay up late listening to Incomparable podcasts.

Infamous for his rambling, name-dropping anecdotes, in which he doesn't actually know the celebrity, but has met the celebrity's barber or his plumber's cousin. The habit acquired its own name: “Glenning.” This is now applied when anyone else starts down a similar path on an Incomparable podcast, on Twitter, and, increasingly in real life.

Procyonology is the study of Glenn and "Glenning".

Hashtag glenning

While the origins of the term *glenning* are murky, its meanings are multitudinous and varied. Over time, dozens have piled up, and are routinely cited, nearly always inaccurately, by the residents of Zeppelinheim.

1. An obscure chain of connections between Glenn and someone famous, often parodied in the form: *Glenn's mail carrier's dentist knows Werner Herzog.*
2. Glenn actually meeting someone famous in passing, and then trading off that connection for years. As in, “I once spent an hour with Werner Herzog in 1995.”
3. Glenn summoning some remote series of connections between people he doesn’t know.
4. Suggesting a topic for an episode and not participating in the recording of the episode.
5. Ruining a game show episode (actually, improving it) by failing to understand the premise of the game until it is well underway. Canonical example: The first Turns Out, in which Glenn was supposed to be telling the truth and, instead, told a lie.
9. Being on a podcast and then finding out half way through the show finding out you weren’t supposed to be on the show (per UK Trivia 3)

The term gets formed into new variations, such as *snelling*, *daviding*, lizzing and the like.

Friends in Your Ears

Friends in Your Ears is a podcast hosted by Kathy Campbell in which Kathy interviews other podcasters about their favourite podcasts. Episodes are released fortnightly on Fridays.

The podcast explores how the guests got into both listening and producing podcasts as well as a surprise question at the end that the guests are not told about in advance.
Philip Michaels

Philip Michaels is cohost of Phil and Lisa Ruin the Movies with his wife, Lisa Schmeiser.

He is also recurring guest panelist on the main Incomparable show, where he most frequently appears to lead the Old Movie Club episodes. He did vocal work on the original run of The Incomparable Radio Theater as an announcer.

Wherever Phil is, a glass of bourbon is not far away.
Oh! Listener. . .

The oft repeated phrase “Oh! Listener \_\_\_\_\_\_\_!” is a inside joke of the network where one or more of the panelists pretend to know the listener by name first name only. Rarely they will truly recognize the listener from twitter or elsewhere, on other occasions the “listener“ is actually a panelist.

Tony Sindelar

Your internet friend.

"Hello nerds." Tony Sindelar is your internet friend and hosts Action Castle, Batman University, participates as both player and DM on Total Party Kill, and makes appearances on the main Incomparable show.

## "Reference Acknowledged"

Tony's catchphrase is captured as an emoji reaction in several different Slack communities. (Trivia: The canonical Tony icon was a photo originally taken by Dan Moren.)

## TPK Character

Tony plays the character Regdar in the Dark Sun campaigns of Total Party Kill. Regdar is an ordinary guy who has deep interests in pottery. Rumors of his death were...exaggerated.

Tony lives in a crumbling apartment outside of Boston, with only his bird, Dan Moren's regrets and caffeine for company.
Canadian

Canadians are people who live in Canada, which is a country. They are generally reputed to be very nice. In actuality, they are simply polite, which is a different thing entirely.

Canadians invented Trivial Pursuit and also whatever game Low Definition is based on.

## Canadians

Incomparable hosts/panelists who were born in Canada:

* Steven Schapansky

Incomparable host/panelists who were not born in Canada but live there now:

* Guy English was born in England, which you should've figured out from the name.
* Erika Ensign is from Wisconsin, which is not part of Canada.

Incomparable hosts/panelists who hold a Canadian passport and have competed for Canada at international events but who are suspiciously also American:

* Serenity Caldwell, currently skating somewhere between Rhode Island and Quebec.

## Notable Non-Canadians

* Chip Sudderth, despite being referred to as Canadian by Steve Lutz in an episode of Low Definition, is a native of North Carolina, where he still lives.

## Notable Fictional Canadians

* Scott Speedway, while Canadian, is fictional.

## Round 5 - The Chalcedonian Remit

Listen: 1:00:05

(Contributed by Tony Sindelar)

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Caledonian Gambit, Dan Moren’s debut novel. But this is about some books that are confusingly similar in title. We’ve invented some book titles and we’ve got plots. From those plots, guess the book title that sounds like the Caledonian Gambit.

For example: perhaps you’ve heard of the new book in the Shakespearean extended universe about a Danish prince who ends up in south-east Asia, The Cambodian Hamlet.

Erika Ensign

Erika is podcast happy and hosts Random Pursuit and can be found as a co-host and panelist on numerous Doctor Who and Incomparable network podcasts.

Among the Total Party Kill characters she plays are Presta Sheboygan, Flessa, Zotasha, and Brildesh. A lot of her character names in shorter TPK adventures have Dr Who themes. Despite playing more competently and staying in character more then any other TPK player, Erika never receives Inspiration.

Erika suffers from ACSD (Acquired Canadian Citizenship Disorder), for which she is Sorry.
Robot or Not

A fortnightly podcast in which Jason Snell asks John Siracusa to rule on the meaning of various words and concepts. It’s not just about robots anymore.

Robot or Not was inspired by Steve Lutz attempting to draft the dance The Robot on the Robot Draft episode. Jason allowed this. John was outraged. Out of this outrage, a podcast was born. John suggested that the podcast would start with simple concepts such as, "Is love a robot?" In fact, the podcast began with a digression about "Mr. Roboto", the character in the song of the same name.

The Incomparable Radio Theater

**The Incomparable Radio Theater** is a series written by David J. Loehr featuring various 1940s-style radio shows from the fictional Finley Quality Network. It began as an April Fool's Day episode of The Incomparable (Episode 113, April 2013). It was meant as a one-shot thing, but a second episode featuring holiday themed stories appeared in December 2013. By popular demand, it spun off into its own series, God help us all.

### The Series

The show is basically an anthology with a variety of rotating series and sketches. These include:

* Timmy Preston, Galaxy Scout
* The Fog
* Jenny Lane, Girl Detective
* The Two-Fisted Tales of Tesla
* Slim Skinner and the Cowhands of the Range
* The Lives of Paul Citron
* The Spooky Twist
* Marjorie Carter, Freelance Adventuress
* Doll Tearsheet, Private Eyeful
* The Sky Mounties
* The Go On Show
* Mahnke
* Vallée de Nuit
* The Full Fathom Five
* The Monty Ashley Show
* and more to come...

Recurring sketches include

* Who Shot Merlin?
* There You Are
* Gotham Cigarettes News Break
* Chock Full of Coffee
* and more

## The References

Dear God. That could be its own little sub-wiki. Please shoot me. I think Scott Speedway is busy compiling that information.

The Finley Quality Network is a tip of the hat to Bob and Ray--this was the fictional network that many of their show sketches used as a home. One sample is this special from 1979 on NBC, **Bob, Ray, Jane, Laraine, and Gilda**, a show produced by the makers of Saturday Night Live and aired in its place.
