comedy podcast thread

[nakedlunch]

I love Marc but... yeah I can't listen to all of the intros. I like to catch one here and there just to get an idea of how he's doing and stuff but it's tough to listen to every one

[badhat]

ok i'm a bit of a jesse thorne apologist, and i know you guys are pretty down on him but even still

how in the world did he get Bob Newhart before Maron or Nerdist?

is it just cuz hes actually on the radio and not just a podcast?

great great interview, in any case.

[badhat]

also the only time the maron intros bug me is when he gets political

though i havent listened to the latest one yet.

[grammatron]

The political ones actually don't bother me (and he doesn't seem to do that very often any more). I don't even mind a good story about whatever in his life. I just get bored with all the "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" stuff.

[Petty]

I think he's just reaching for being upset about something because he thinks he's funniest at being neurotic.

Also, I thought it was really nice that Elliott said it was gratifying to have fans of his old work which is cool because I've loved Cabin Boy since I was like 10

[badhat]

ive still never seen cabin boy but i'm an OG letterman fan and he was one of the letterman MVPs

(ok i'm too young to actually be OG, but pretty close)

[Petty]

Cabin Boy definitely still holds up, but it's pretty 90s.

[Durham]

I'm just now getting into WTF and comedy podcasts in general (Todd Hanson was amazing, and Bourdain was very fun) but I tend to enjoy the intros a whole lot.

Listening to the Jim Gaffigan special now, pretty good so far

[Cronos]

Get A Life is the funniest fucking show.

[Cronos]

The complete series is on Myspleen and freeleach if you've never seen it

[Kuboaa]

I thought the intro to Chris Elliott WTF seemed like pretty standard Maron to me
I think Uhh Yeah Dude has crept into my top 3 podcasts with WTF and CBB, it's so great

[universe]

I skip Maron's intros all the time.

[Durham]

Steve Merchant episode of WTF was good. Love that dude.

[delgriffith]

Haven't had time to listen to CBB but I saw Jessica St. Clair is on and I always really liked that dumb "womp it up" shit that she does. Am I alone? I figure it's the kind of thing that should be so annoying, but I enjoyed it in the past. Anyway, are they gonna be doing a Thursday show regularly now or was the Will Forte/Leo Allen thing just from the scrapheap?

[delgriffith]

David Cross ep of WTF really made me wish that Maron would interview Charlie Brooker. I think it'd be a great talk, even if Maron doesn't know who he is. They are kindred spirits.

the two episodes last week was just because his guest for that week's episode backed out at the last minute, I doubt the Thursday shows are a regular thing

[Feech La Manna]

I know I'm late on this but the Andrew Lloyd Weber/Fourvel episode of CBB had me in tears

[Kuboaa]

I know I'm late on this but the Andrew Lloyd Weber/Fourvel episode of CBB had me in tears

I'M GETTIN' STABBY!!!!

[Nacho Novo]

I know I'm late on this but the Andrew Lloyd Weber/Fourvel episode of CBB had me in tears

I'M GETTIN' STABBY!!!!

Yeah, I was surprised nobody backed me up on this on p65.

man, i love marissa wompler. i haven't listened to cbb in weeks (or any comedy podcasts for that matter), but i think i'll check this one out

i hadnt watched it yet but yeah it was incredible

having it end with him killing them and going straight to outro was so fucking perfect.

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

fourvel ep had me in tears. as good as it gets.

[WAC]

I skip Maron's intros all the time.

Yeah

[Petty]

Gonna liveblog this week's maron intro. He build's it up and let's see how boring it is.

Edit: It's not important.

it was a pretty good one. Not quite on the same level as the "wompupthejams.com" episode but pretty good. Jessica St Clair is hilarious.

I also listened to the how did this get made with her and Lennon Parham where they watched Pluto Nash. It was pretty good

Has anyone watched BFF yet? It sounds pretty terrible but Jessica and Lennon are both funny and Fred Savage has done some really great stuff over the past decade so I dunno

[badhat]

man i love bob goldthwait so much and he was so fun on nerdist, the whole time i was like - man this dude should totally do a podcast and then the announce hes doin one.

hope it works out. cant wait.

He announced a podcast! Awesome! I'm only about an hour into that one and was thinking how great of a guest he was. Every time time of heard him recently I've really enjoyed him.

Also, this is from a few Nerdists ago but Matt Mira mentioning that he was almost 500 lbs!

[badhat]

he was sorta tenative about it but he said he was workin on a podcast for nerdist

that was the best nerdist in a really long time i thought. dude is jus so fucking funny and has the best stories.

him trying to do the impression of himself was killin me.

[pinkerton]

Thatnks for recommending that Bobcat episode. I usually don't listen to Nerdist anymore (even though I'm still subscribed), but that was a great episode.

[badhat]

the skynard story was better on maron, though...
