Finished the first episode of Cyberthug's new show and it was really good. Little slow to start but once they started talking about all the different rappers, they were killing it. Autistic Illuminati members.

The beginning was a bit off and it isn't hard hitting laughs every 6 seconds, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. I currently have the cyberthug imitation of Drake as my ringtone.

Inverted Offensive Battle: Acupuncture Attacks Convert To 3D Penetration Tactics Taking Advantage of Deep Battle Opportunities
Greg Proops' second podcast episode is up. It's still a sort of a live-act format podcast, like the first one, and while I tend to prefer ones without an audience, I enjoyed this one as much as the first one. I'm hoping he does more than just once a month, but, like the Pod F. Tompcast, I think it's worth the wait!

New Pod F. Tompkast. Will the Cake Boss return???

Yes apparently he will.

I love all of PFT's characters, but I'm hoping we start seeing new combinations of characters who we've already heard from already. I especially want to hear a conversation between Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and the Cake Boss.

I WAS THERE
WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
Okay so: I loved this week's CDR. I know we've all discussed and disagreed about this, but I still find Tig super funny. I know who he is, but I can't say I'm super familiar with him - Despite this I liked Kevin Nealon a lot. I'm impressed at the amount of voices Jon Daly can do, and it was an awesome "Would You Rather." When Cyber Thug asked "What if it was a Ciroc monster? What about that?" and Scott was just like "Yup...what about that?" I lost it.

I immediately went and listened to Cyber Thug radio and really enjoyed it. Yeah, shaky sometimes absolutely, but it was the first episode. Even some of the sports talk towards that lost me for the most part was littered with funny tags, like their impressions and talks of autism. But, poo poo, the Drake stuff and the song about raccoons were amazing. The guys have natural chemistry and good banter.

I was going to bring up The Smartest Man in the World if I didn't see anybody else doing it. I like it too. I'm usually not a fan of "Comedian talks uninterrupted for an hour" podcasts, but Proop's background in improv really lends to the idea. He is obviously smart, and opinionated, and quite an interesting guy. He seems like he has a lot of great stories up his sleeve. Like, it wasn't a laugh a minute show (although I did laugh at many parts) but I'm entertained by his intellect and how he relates a story. Good stuff. A monthly release is right for it, though. I couldn't imagine listening to it more frequently than that.


My Brother, My Brother An Me was amazing as usual this week. "The Minnesota Pincher" bit had me stifling laughter while walking across campus - Making me look like a crazy person yet again. This is a weekly occurrence. I should really just stop listening to the McElroy Bros. in public.


I think/write waaaay to much about comedy podcasts. I'm glad you guys do to.

This one was a lot more solid than the last one. It's like he's doing an hour of stand-up every month, but only to himself, and an audience just happens to be there.

I hope everyone appreciated the homage to the intro of the Busta Rhymes album "When Disaster Strikes" as the intro to the Cyber Thug Radio podcast.

I'm a huge fan of PFT, but boy the Tompkast sure drags at times, even in the places it shouldn't, like the bits with various characters. I just think what makes him so funny is when he's playing those characters completely off the cuff, as opposed to scripted. So my favorite parts of the podcast has been just him rambling in the warm, hush tones, and his conversations with Jen Kirkman. I understand he wanted to do something different, but....eh.

I know I sound like a broken record when I say this, but it's not JUST the burps in general. I've listened to Stern a lot back in the day and burps don't bother me.

They're drinking beer and they get those foamy DEEP burps. That's what makes me gag. Seriously, I've never gone from hysterical laughter to suppressing my gag reflex in my life, until now.

In case you were curious, the CDR Christmas CD is hilarious. The Huell and Ice-T tracks are, predictably, awesome, but the highlight for me was Jon Daly's Smooth Little Baby Jazzus.

And here's the We are the World 25.75 video on FoD.

Be forewarned: The 60 minute show will have a lot of stuff you've probably heard on CDR, but it's still great. The 30 minute show has horrible audio and is kind of clunky, but has some funny parts. Definitely worth the $1.99!

I'm starting to cool towards both Marc Maron and Nerdist as of late.

Nerdist started off great for few episodes but now Chris Hardwick has run out of material and has reached the Jay Leno grab-bag of interviewing process by asking "how they started in the biz," the most boring and pointless conversation 99% of the time. And his show is celebrity-obsessed. Joe Rogan's podcast is more nerdist than Nerdist.

Marc Maron's whining is really grating now, which has passed the point of being funny. I've been skipping his monologue for couple of months now. But his live podcast in Austin was hilarious and bizarre.

I think that happens to everyone eventually regardless of the show. I used to listen pretty heavily to some of the TWIT network shows, but haven't touched them in two years. Fortunately there's enough new content out there that it's easy to switch.

The Nerdist: The recent episode with Brian Posehn was great, and the second half of the Adam Carolla one was pretty good with the Boogerman stories. (Though the first half was just Adam screaming about security guards and parking tickets like he does two or three times a week on his own show.)

Marc Maron: His podcast with Aziz Ansari would have been more interesting if it wasn't the fourth or fifth time I'd heard him as a guest on a show, and there's only so many stories the guy has to tell. Most times I kind of feel sorry for the guy, which isn't really conducive to humor. I guess it's good he didn't name the show "The Weeping Clown".

Larry Miller has been a real breath of fresh air, though, even if he gets easily off topic. But his stories are great, he's able to fill the time well, and it's not stuff you're heard over and over again.

It took me a second to recognize PFT, but I almost squealed audibly in incredibly un-masculine delight.

I didn't really feel the Tig Notaro hate until listened to the most-recent Doug Loves Movies tonight. Good God, why do people even have her on their podcasts, especially that one? There seems to be almost a masochistic element to her going on and continually responding to questions with, "...uuuuuuuuuuuuh...I don't watch movies..."

Also, thanks to the thread for getting me into CDR. I started off with the Halloween episode: Messmore and Beauford LeBaron had me crying laughing ("I've given millions of people ghost AIDS! I'm a serial rapist, with a bad attitude.") But the next one I listened to was with Todd Barry and some other guys, a minaturization scientist and an Amish minigolf course owner. That one sucked.

The last one I heard was with Tig (whom I'd never heard before), Sarah Silverman, Kevin Nealon, etc. which was mediocre, I thought (does Sarah Silverman always suck that badly or was it just her purported neck cramp?). All that said, what are some other stand-out hits in the vein of the Halloween episode I should try?
