comedy podcast thread

[Fullscreen]

becoming a big fitzsimmons fan from his appearances on nerdist and CDR, and his guest hosting of the election wrap-up on carolla's show was fucking hysterical.

[badhat]

also yeah ive been loving WTF.

marons free associative opening and closing bits are some of the best "radio" ever. hes totally exciting and unpredictable and has such a great command his voice and rhythm.

[pinkerton]

WTF got me through the worst job I've ever had.

Does he still bring the "Dr" (who actually is a doctor now I think) on for an on-air session?

[pinkerton]

i wish i could get into podcasts again like i used to be

i had a 3 month stretch post-grad where i was stuck behind a computer doing mindless programming/data entry 40 hours a week, and could not bear to listen to music after a week.

8 CDR episodes in one day makes for an epic work day.
8 episodes of WTF might make you want to kill yourself, but also might inspire you to quit your job and do something interesting with your life
8 episodes of radiolab will make you really annoying to talk to to you friends for the next few days

when i was working in march i'd do BS Report->Baseball Today->Comedy Death-Ray->Doug Loves Movies->lunch->Best Show->WTF/Radiolab

[badhat]

"heeeey everyboooody"

is like the most comforting phrase in the world to me these days.

i know everything is gonna be alright when i hear doug say it

[Duplo]

great thread, introduced me to wtf and a bunch of others
thanks board

[Gnarls]

i keep finding myself saying "hey bros" ala adam scott on CDR

It's not even that funny, but I can't stop doing it

actually digging bill burr's monday morning podcast a lot lately. it's just solo musings and riffing for the most part but i really like the dude. he did a good one-on-one with greg fitzsimmons recently, love it when the boston guys talk about the scene they came up in vs everywhere else.

[Buddy Glass]

Bill Burr is one of those guys that is just naturally funny as hell, between his accent and his attitude and just his way of being. I actually find the podcast way funnier than his last special, even though the latter is polished material and the former is just him talking off the top of his head about whatever strikes him at the moment. Only thing is some of the sports talk gets a bit dull for me since I don't really follow it. The story he told about almost fighting a bunch of dudes in a baseball stadium bathroom recently was awesome though.

[hopped]

listened to like 20 CDR episodes this week driving from austin to denver and back, thanks for turning me onto it guys

My Brother, My Brother, and Me

[hiddenicon]

the Alison Brie nerdist did not help me in wanting to fuck Alison Brie less. I spend too much time wanting to do that.

the Alison Brie nerdist did not help me in wanting to fuck Alison Brie less. I spend too much time wanting to do that.

this is a recurring issue, yeah.

[badhat]

i just enjoyed carolla on the nerdist so much more than i usually enjoy carollas show.

the most recent carolla with Dr Drew where they went off on some libertarian rant was so annoying...

[badhat]

i kinda wanna try to get the nerdist podcast to interview dan savage.

how do i make it happen?

[badhat]

so cyberthug wasnt joking on CDR

hes got a podcast now

[badhat]

that wasnt really what i was expecting.

was figuring there'd be bits or something. it was basically like semi-in-character talk-radio about sports and music.

still pretty entertaining i guess. will keep listening.

[grammatron]

Norm McDonald is on Greg Fitzsimmon's most recent episode, and he might be the worst podcast guest ever. Sure he's funny, but he mumbles the entire time. It's really hard to hear him.

[Cyril Sneer]

i want to hear norm on wtf

[badhat]

oh yeah i was gonna ask about that

what the deal with norm? hes barely recognizable as the same person as a few years ago (voicewise). was he ill or something.

[badhat]

that was pretty painful

ansari on WTF was great though. hes like 100x more likeable off the cuff than he is as a standup.

[neopolitan]

do you think norm is actually a christian?

[grammatron]

I didn't really understand why Greg or Mike never said "Hey norm, speak up a little, buddy."

[badhat]

oh god that theology discussion was so fuckign weird

[Cyril Sneer]

ansari on wtf drove me nuts. he seemed nice enough but listening to him talk with all the "like..it's like..you know"- i don't know, i couldn't take it after so long.

ken jeong was the guy i was really impressed with.

[badhat]

marcs pre and post thanksgiving rants were pretty spectaular though

[Cyril Sneer]

yeah for sure

also i just remember i loved when ansari did the impression of him as a kid in the spelling bee

[kid_chameleon]

marcs pre and post thanksgiving rants were pretty spectaular though

hell yes. I also like how every time he mentions adam and eve, he is compelled to tell women listeners it's ok to buy "toys".

[neopolitan]

dudes so raw

[grammatron]

I like Maron but his show really hinges on the strength of the guest. Ken Jeong really bored me.
