The Incomparable Number 500 February 2020 Welcome back, everybody to the incomparable.

This is the incomparable episode D in Roman numerals, episode 500 of the incomparable, which means we have continued to do this for

500 weeks, more or less. Why? I don't know. Anyway, I'm your host Jason Snell as always,

or at least as mostly. Did you know that I didn't host either episode 97 or 98?

Weird.

Anyway, I am here with some of the finest by volume panelists in the history.

They're incomparable.

And I am going to introduce them to you now. And then we are going to do some stupid stuff for a while.

Like we do like, you know, like every 500 episodes of proven.

Some would say every episode.

Oh, yeah, we have a body of work that proves that this is going to be really dumb.

I'm going to introduce everybody in the order in which they will pick in our draft that we're

going to do in this episode because I thought, hey, this will be really cool.

We'll do a draft. And then I went back and looked at episode like 100, 200, 300, 400, we do a draft like every time. It's not cool at all. But I still want to introduce these wonderful people who are the top 10 panelists in the history of the incomparable. Scott McNulty, you were picked randomly number one.

That is the best way to be picked number one, I think.

That's right. You earned it by not doing anything and being randomly chosen. So

congratulations and welcome. Story of my life. Monti Ashley will be our second choice. Monty has

appeared on the mothership 119 times, by the way. Scott's 130.

Monty, hello. Hi, I'm random number two, but I random try harder. Yeah, that's good. People like

references to Avis ads from the 1970s, right? Oh, yeah. David J. Lour will pick third, David,

who has appeared on 164 episodes. Hi, David.

Hello there. You know, my name is DJL in Roman numerals.
