Steve Slavery posted:What? edit: I think he's talking about how he's been putting small pre-recorded segments in front of some of the podcasts when he has a gig coming up, but I just went back to the last two podcasts, and they didn't have ANY promo before the show at all. Goons are never satisfied with anything.

So I just got into Best Show thanks to a link to the one with them laughing hysterically at the ICP ad, any other 'must listen to' episodes of it that I should get?

I've only recently started listening too so my recommendations don't go as far back as others might: 8/12/2010: President Obama's bandmate stops by to share some white house secrets. 11/12/2010: A restaurant owner is mad at Tom's review, discusses the unseen season of "Archie Bunker's place" and sees the first mouse wearing a cape. 12/16/2010: The Four Loko party, do not miss this one 12/2/2010: An old man calls from his deathbed 3/31/2011: Tom tells a story about a Beatles convention that is amazingly pathetic 9/16/2010: Wally Wackiman and Hatch guest host, Wally Wackiman is in top form 10/7/2010: Theresa and Mike guest host, interesting just to see how awkward Mike can make things. Once you've got the rhythm of the show the most recent one involves Tom finding a soundboard for one of the regular callers (Fredricks) and using it throughout the show, most notably with Fredricks himself.

Steve Slavery posted:I've got to say that Who Charted is probably my favorite podcast right now, I always laugh out loud. I think Howard is just gifted at asking stupid questions, and Kulap gives the show a great energy. Also I think the atmosphere of the show makes guests just... be their best I think. I've just listened to the first two Who Charted thanks to this thread, and I suspect I'll get through many of the rest tomorrow. Why the hell wasn't I listening to this before when I'm a Comedy Death Ray and Doug Loves Movies fan? Weird. Also, on the subject of DLM and TJ Miller - he always kills it when he's on that show. I'm torn on the "TJ Miller Versus The World" episode from a while back though. I enjoyed TJ's riffing, but also felt bad for enjoying it because it was detracting from Doug's intention to get through games with 7 of the audience, and he was getting audibly pissed off as the show went on.

Also, I just saw TJ Miller do stand-up a couple of weeks ago and he's brilliant.

I don't have any exact dates, but there was a sort of arc in 2008 for the election of the next Newbridge mayor. Notable candidates included Philly Boy Roy, Todd Palin, Gene Simmons, and Glen Danzig. Also June 3rd 2008: Tom and listeners help Ted Leo write a song that he plays at the end.

I wonder if we'll look back to this time in a few years and roll our eyes at all the wordplay in podcast names. Who Charted, Grapes of Rad, Skeptic Tank, Skarlboro Country (not necessarily saying those are bad names, btw)...it just seems like in a while we'll go "Ah, remember when podcasting took off in the early 2010's and everyone had silly wordplay titles?"

If something's successful, or is fondly remembered, people forget about the pun and just accept it as a name or title. Like The Beatles or Led Zepplin. Or how Noxema was a clever spelling of "No Eczema" a hundred years ago. Something can even have a stupid name that has nothing to do with the work, like with the comic strip Peanuts. But if something is terrible, then you tend to make fun of the wordplay forever. Like Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I'm catching up on a bunch of WTFs and just got to the Gallagher one. Holy crap, Maron really goes for him, and I'm glad he does. Repeatedly saying that he heard his racist and homophobic jokes "on the street" doesn't excuse him one bit.

Kodo posted:You are objectively wrong, Aimee Mann was hilarious. I guess if I'm objectively wrong this doesn't matter at all, but she seemed way more like a friend who is occasionally clever than like a professional comedian. That's definitely plenty from a talented musician, but kind of a downer on a podcast that's usually so funny.

UYD is so weird. I don't think they're funny and I'm note sure if I'm even entertained, but I'll be damned if I didn't download another 20 episodes. Flophouse on the other hand is just unambiguously great. Definitely more laughs-per-minute than anything I've heard.

Just started listening to Uhh Yeah Dude thanks to this thread and I'm hooked. I plan on listening to them all in reverse chronological order. Out of the 200+ episodes are there any that really stick out? I'm probably going to listen to them all so it doesn't really matter, but I'm curious if there is any consensus.

The 100th episode of Comedy Death Ray was pretty good. Really appreciated the semi-serious opening segment with the musicians. I've been burning out on how corny Scott Aukerman is. Best part was Rob Huebel talking to his 90 year old neighbor when Thom Lennon pulls up and says "Who wants to make $100 dollars the hard way?" then peels off, hahah.
