comedy podcast thread

[badhat]

working my way through todd glass

really funny but i have the same problem i have with best show

too long.

i know thats dumb but i with the eps were broken up so i could shuffle them with other podcasts.

minor but nagging issue.

todd glass show and best show (and sometimes nerdist/indoor kids/live WTFs if i'm feeling up to it) i save for long gaming sessions on weekends and lazy afternoon internet surfing.

i keep trying to listen to todd glass show before bet but it keeps me up laughing. best show puts me to sleep pretty easily, only takes one extended bad call and i'm out for the night.

todd glass also does this thing a lot where the show's over 2 hours long, but the actual produced show is like 75 minutes and then there's another hour of them hanging out doing other things while the mic still picks up a lot of the dialogue.

it used to annoy the hell out of me on comedy & everything else (finally gave that podcast up a few years ago, despite some great guests), but he does a better job with it on his own show.

norm was not very funny on this one but he was entertaining.

great news if you live nearby: sketchfest is packed with live podcast tapings this year. http://sfsketchfest.com/schedule/

trying to decide between wtf, nerdist, dlm, never not funny, superego with paul f tompkins or the paul f tompkins show.

Yeah, Norm wasn't that great but it felt like he was kind of getting caught beneath Todd's train of thought interruptions, still enjoyed the few stories he told.

nnf and superego live would be so, so good.

[someguy]

man part 2 of norm on todd glass' show is way funnier but it's entirely because of rory scovel

the ending with his restaurant ad is insane

Finally listened to the Carrot Top episode of WTF. Basically an hour of Marc trying to find out how Carrot Top feels about being a punchline. CT seems like a good enough dude. I would've liked it to eventually get off that topic though since he pretty much made it clear that he's fine with where he is now and all that. Probably the most shallow episode I've heard, really. And that Charlie dude was too much.

[badhat]

you should dig back through this thread to the discussion of that ep.

uni made a couple of incredible posts about it.

[grammatron]

Badhat I'm really not comfortable with this non Iron Giant avatar.

[badhat]

but look how jew-y and evil the cyclist it!

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

marc maron's a fan!



thx marc!!!

[badhat]

jj abrams nerdist was great.

loved that it wasnt really all that biographically and had a lot of nerding out about pop culture.

[badhat]

i had a really uncomfortable reaction to the jillian lauren WTF.

sounds like she had an interesting life and some of the details and stories were cool but on the whole i found her fairly annoying to listen to, and i thought marc was both kinda creepy in his digging and insisting on salacious details, and also, his bad habit of cutting people off to project his ideas about them onto them before they can answer was particularly conspicuous on this one.

but i was genuinely moved by the end when she was talkign about her parents disowning her and she said "i'm awesome, i'm an awesome daughter, and an awesome mother...." etc

it felt really hard fought and made me wanna give her a hug.

thx marc!!!

This is your Tipping Point, bro. Enjoy the success!!!

[delgriffith]

Just don't forget about all us plebs down here.

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

yeah bros look, im not gonna get a big head here. you can expect a s/o to all my real bleak friends on the hipinion when im doing my bit on letterman tomorrow, he just called me & asked for me to come over to be on his show and also he could use a new best friend right now.

said sure. i can fit him in. though im a little busy. a little busy blowin up.

[badhat]

bought the WTF app a while back but only recently started going back and listening to the old eps.

yesterday i listened to odenkirk. dude's pretty intense. smart and interesting interview though.

half way though the bamford one, which i think will end up being one of my favorites. i love her nerdist ep too. its somehow incredibly charming and also terrifying to me that as far as i can tell, shes not really doing a schtick and is in fact maybe borderline mentally ill. but also really smart and self aware.

i loved the intro section of the bamford one and how he leads into the interview. "might have to give bamford a ride home. hope i can record that" MUSIC [cut back to marc and bamford in the car in the parking lot of maxfuncon.]

[delgriffith]

I like that Bamford one, yeah. And Odenkirk is always a really good interview subject, I like their chat.

[badhat]

jesus when she starts talking about having OCD fantasies of killing her family and friends and isnt even slightly doing a bit...

I liked when he was going to say high class prostitute, but said high earning prostitute instead

[Kuboaa]

MATES is finally back, they are part of the nerdist podcast family now

[Uppercrust]

can someone direct me to the odenkirk one please.

[nakedlunch]

it's been a while but I remember really liking the Bamford WTF

[Kuboaa]

can someone direct me to the odenkirk one please.

gotta pay for the app to get access to episodes that are more than 50 episodes old

[badhat]

and you should.

its like 10 bucks a year

marc is worth it

[nakedlunch]

the app is great. makes it so I dont have to add and delete on my phone

[Buddy Glass]

Kevin Pollak is so boring

[badhat]

yeah i prolly wont bother.

though i did really enjoy his long craig ferguson interview but only on account of ferguson.

[TASKER, JERRY L]

there hasn't been a wtf ive been interested in in a few weeks. I might subscribe to the app just so I have some new shit to listen to

[Uppercrust]

nevermind, I found it. But I will still reconsider buying the app.
