comedy podcast thread

[badhat]

we dont talk about it much but nerdist has been solid lately too.

i thought there was some really good unintentional comedy in the contrast between nerdit's on-air proposal attempt and marons.

its never wall-to-wall hilarity but its always fun.

the whole story about matt and jonah's 4th of july party text message fiasco was hilairous

[acapelli]

wait, why would aukerman have margaret cho on his show if he hates her? I assume he chooses his guests?

[acapelli]

and i liked james adomian's dov charney this week, although he didn't really have much to work with in guests margaret cho and david wain

halloween party. but fucking hilarious, indeed.

[badhat]

d'oh

yeah

[gucci man]

saw marc maron last night in seattle. surprisingly awesome considering it was just him.

[someguy]

where does one go for industry dirt about scot aukerman and margaret cho's romantic history

1122 boogie woogie avenue

Not sure where else to post it but Andrew Dice Clay & Patton Oswalt were both on Raising Hope last night. Really bizzare episode, Dice Clay is looking pretty rough.

[Buddy Glass]

That Bob Lefsetz guy seems unbearable. Maron handled him really well.

[Disturbed]

it doesnt really seem like the franchise model is working for earwolf or nerdist.

does either have any decent content?

CBB, Who Charted, Bob Ducca, every Earwolf Presents so far, the Sklars, Glitter in the Garbage is odd but I've heard great stuff on it, Improv4Humans is the best thing going...Totally Laime isn't my favorite but I see how there's an audience for it, so it's mostly The Apple Sisters and Professor Blastoff that suck.

Nerdist, Thrilling Adventure Hour, You Made It Weird, Sex Nerd Sanda is hit or miss but I like to see that kind of thing getting out there as much as possible, The Nerdist Writers Panel is an awesome thing for a niche audience and The Todd Glass Show is the best thing going...Episode 2 of Big Pop Fun was a Big Pop Drag and I didn't go back, Riki Lindholme is whatever, Pop My Culture see: Totally Laime, I like Kumail Nanjiani but not video games and 9 year olds are 9.


I don't know how you guys aren't familiar with Eddie Pepitone I feel like he's on podcasts all the time. Listen to The Long Shot Podcast it's cool.

Uhh Yeah Dude.

Smartest Man in the World.

Grandma's Virginity if it ever comes back.

I shouldn't even have read these few pages. Where some of you come up with these opinions I dunno. Mine above come from Truth. Above.

[zamboni]

you make me not want to like comedy

[rap and country]

i'm glad that cbb seems to be cutting down or eliminating the freestyle bits

those were always pretty painful

[Disturbed]

you make me not want to like comedy

That seems weird I just like podcasts and annoying badhat

[jewels]

I really liked the WTF with Penn Jillette, sometimes I prefer when they don't talk much shop and just shoot the shit.

[badhat]

i am in the middle of that one and i am enjoying it too, but make no mistake, i know a bunch of people who work/have worked with him (vegas theater scene is where i grew up) and he is by ALL accounts a giant, insufferable douchebag.

[badhat]

i didnt know where to put this cuz it doesnt really feel like it deserves a thread around here cuz i imagine theres a lot of people who dislike her and boingboing but does anyone follow xeni jardin on twitter?

some harrowing shit yesterday

[nakedlunch]

been listening to a bunch of how did this get made and I think it's my new DLM. Jason Manzoukis (sp?) is the funniest dude. I've listened to the CBB him and Andy Daly were on like 10 times.

Chip, can you shut it for a minute?

[badhat]

id be willing to give how did this get made another shot.

listened to the first 3 or 4 and it felt really forced and like picking on a retarded kid but if you think they got it together i'll try again.

[lostintheair]

how did this get made is the only earwolf show i listen to regularly. paul is kinda a shitty host (though has improved a lot since they started) but jason is the reason to keep listening. its really great when they get people who were actually involved with the movie they are talking about.

[nakedlunch]

I've only listened to 2 so far but I thought they were pretty good. I listened to the one about "I Know Who Killed Me" and "Leprechaun in the Hood" I guess the only thing is that each one could probably be 20 min instead of 50 but then it wouldn't take me through my workout. anyway

who is xeni jardin?

[badhat]

shes the editor at boingboing an a nerdist guest and like one of those people that the networks get to do talking head stuff whenever theres a tech related news story.

shes smart and funny. alpha nerd girl basically.

[nakedlunch]

ahh ok. yeah I've fallen behind on nerdist. I mostly just listen to the chris, matt, and jonah eps

[badhat]

well anyway her twitter log from yesterday morning to last night is pretty intense and a good if sad read.

[someguy]

If anyone hasn't been listening to Todd Glass' podcast yet, next week's guests are Rory Scovel and Norm Macdonald.

[badhat]

i just subscribed to it last week but havent gotten around to listening to any yet. its in my queue though and i look forward to it.

[someguy]

my personal recommendation is to ignore the first episode and start with the second one

first ep is mostly them just talking about boring shit/figuring the format out so it's pretty dry

[blurst of times]

i've liked how did this get made when i've listened to it, though sometimes it can be hard to follow along if you haven't seen the movie they're discussing

i don't really feel like watching battlefield earth just so i can listen to a podcast

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

u think cho takes it in the dumper ?
ne1 got aukerman's hotmail address ?

[pinkerton]

The Todd Glass podcast is always like 2 1/2 hours long and hilarious from start to finish. I don't know how he does it.
