I am trying to get comments to show by their post ID. Right now this is displaying all of the recent comments. I feel like I am close. Can I do something along the lines of changing post_id=#id to post_id=$featuredPosts?
function slide() {
global $post;
$featuredPosts = new WP_Query();
$featuredPosts->query("showposts=5&cat=15");
$comments = get_comments('number=2&status=approve&post_id=$id');
<?php while ($featuredPosts->have_posts()) : $featuredPosts->the_post();?>
<div>
<div class="slide_post_info">
<h4 class="slide_post_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<div class="slide_post_reactions">
<ul class="slide_post_meta">
<li class="slide_post_commentcount"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#disqus_thread"></a></li>
<li class="bottomlisplit"></li>
<li class="slide_post_time"><?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')) . ' ago'; ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="slide_post_comments">
<?php
foreach($comments as $comm) :
echo '<li>';
echo($comm->comment_author);
echo ':';
echo($comm->comment_content);
echo '</li>';
endforeach;
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?><!--/close loop-->
