comedy podcast thread

[delgriffith]

The Shins frontman/founder/nerve center James Mercer reminisces with Marc about growing up in Albuquerque, defends the earnest art of the synthesizer and sets Marc straight on the difference between Danger Mouse and Modest Mouse. Plus, James performs the new single from The Shins’ Port of Morrow, “Simple Song.”

Yeah no way am I going near this.

the band story is also a written piece on his blog from a few years ago.

i honestly thought the written one was even funnier than the bit.

those of you whove given up on nerdist missed john hamm whistling a mashup of the mad men theme and sweet georgia brown

listened to the wtf interview with the shins dude yesterday cause i needed something to listen to at work. pretty boring and it's always embarrassing listening to maron talk shop with musicians. the guy sounds like a nice enough guy, though.

[badhat]

i think my two least favorite things about maron are when he talks to woman about sex related stuff and when someone else mentions sort culty music or films or books and he absolutely refuses to acknowledge the he hasnt heard of something, he insists on faking like he knows what theyre talking about even when its obvious he doesnt. dude, youre 50 years old. jsut admit you havent heard of shit and ask questions.

his weird obsession with lorne michaels is hilarious though.

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

is the pft special streaming anywhere?

[Buddy Glass]

"Freeway" Ricky Ross is on Rogan's podcast talking shit about Rick Ross, this is pretty great. Also claims to have made $600 million in a couple years selling crack in L.A.

[Cronos]

Just finished listening to the Zmuda episode. So happy that that was on when I had to go in early for work. Marc was trying so hard to get him to admit that Kaufman is still alive

[badhat]

Man I know nothing about Kevin Hart except how annoying he seems in some movie trailer and also him being a gimmick during the worst NBA Dunk Contest in history but he seems like a swell guy on WTF. Happy for him

just listened to this

loved it

i feel like dudes who get big fast, then blow it or lose it, then fight their way back seem to have a really good perspective on shit.

[badhat]

holy shit the zmuda interview

[jewels]

I think I've mentioned it a few times, but I've been really enjoying You Made it Weird. Like WTF with less pathos (for good and bad) and much shorter intros. He's clearly a huge fan of WTF, but has his own spin on it.

I like it too. Though he ran out of new things to say awhile ago. The Nikki Glaser one was a delight. Lazer accuracy.

[blurst of times]

second this request

i missed it when it aired but really wanna watch it

[Paul E. Pasta]

holy shit the zmuda interview

Yeah this was something else. I wasn't sure what to believe.

[lostintheair]

i believe that it must be fucking exhausting keeping that schtick up

[Cronos]

zmuda and paul krasner are two of my favorite interviews for the same reason

[grammatron]

Listened to another episode of Kevin Allison's Risk today. I'm a fan. That and Who Charted? are my new go-tos.

3rd anniversary cbb is out. I'm about 20 min in and the new foam corner is incredible

tappas the mornin' to ja

[badhat]

galifinakis on sklarbros was really good

[thom browne]

Zmuda on Maron was exhausting, but pretty worthwhile for the few nuggets that weren't in Man on The Moon.

[Petty]

Yeah, his voice is excruciating to listen to.

Chelsea Handler and Wayne Coyne this week

[Jay Owen]

Loved Nick Kroll's new character too

[Jay Owen]

Also I sort of stopped paying attention to Sklarbro Country, but have they remarked on the prophetic powers of Randy Moss' Dog?

[Prof. Horatio Hufnagel]

I couldn't hear a lot of what Zmuda said (well, not that much but it was annoying to have to keep turning the volume up), but man it was entertaining.

[badhat]

at the end when he referred to tony clifton as a real person and maron was all "after all this talk youre gonna fuck with me?" killed me

[delgriffith]

Yeah this is so good.

No way am I listening to Chelsea Handler on WTF. Wayne Coyne I'm down with.

[grammatron]

I'm excited about Coyne, though I am a self-professed Flaming Lips Superfan.

[Kuboaa]

holy shit the zmuda interview

Yeah this was something else. I wasn't sure what to believe.

I think Maron was in the same boat, he seemed to waver between believing to giving the benefit of the doubt to not believing at all from the tone of his "uh huh"s and his comments

it was a little exhausting, its a good thing he doesn't hit the 2 hour mark often

[universe]

I was glad Maron was at least into the Kaufman mythology; if he had been combative or too probing it would've been a much more tedious interview.

Annie Clark's reaction sounds throughout are amazing.
