I listened to the whole show but maybe I missed something - according to the avclub Podmass 'Thanks goodness that two of Scharpling’s favorite comedy pals call in this episode, because people like Amadeus are out there. Despite his two-year ban from last week, the youngster still calls in and is forced to take on a writing assignment.' That was Mrs. Amadeus who called in. Did Amadeus call in and talk about the exact same things and I missed it?
And 'thanks goodness' doesn't seem grammatically correct.
