Honey Roasted posted:Also, somebody has to mention the goon podcast, Lou Reads the Internet for You! Lou goes to different forums and reads selected posts. Another one that probably sounds mundane at first, but is actually hilarious. The best parts are when he has to stop in the middle of a post and laugh at how ridiculous it is. http://loureads.com/ Thanks for the shout out, HR. It's something I love doing and I'm glad someone out there is enjoying it. I did get my first hate mail recently but it was from a 15 year old girl whose thread I read on the sneeze fetish forums. I'm actually recording stuff now for some kind of Orkin (the bg killing people) videos right now. When I'm done I have some more dumb forums to record. Who knew the world of russian bride seeking was so depressing? I hope weekend web picks up again, too. Thanks again for the plug. You too all you other pluggers ITT! I really appreciate it! I made some magnets for fans of the podcast. I'm running low but PM me and I'll send you one. The only caveat is that I need you to send me a picture of where you put it so I can post it on the blog and facebook fan page.  Personally I listen to CDR all the time. It's aces.

What are these pies posted:King Lou! I love you and can't wait for your new podcast(s)! Sadly I don't have PMs. But you're fantastic! Thanks Mr. Pies! Glad to hear it. There is a contact form on the site, too. I should have mentioned that. Or you can email me at loureads @ the gmails. I'm finally back from my vacation so I'll probably try to record something this week. Watch the skies!

Jet Jaguar posted:The Sklarbro Country podcast is probably my favorite at the moment, it's hilarious and even when I don't follow the sport they're talking about, they still make it engaging. I've never been a fan of theirs but I thought they did okay when guesting on CDR. I tried listening to their podcast but man that twin thing gets boring fast. Individually they are fine but since thats a rarity I'm removing them from my list. I'll stick to CDR, Pod F Tompkast and Doug Loves Movies. I just listened to my first DLM yesterday was pleasantly surprised. Wish I could see it live but it's on the wrong coast.

DangerDummy! posted:Is Tig Notaro actually a comedian? I've only experienced her on random podcasts and she's always goddamn death. I agree with you. She is a good story teller but on CDR she steps all over the funny. She interrupted Bob Duka's aliment list so many times. I'm not saying she's not funny but on CDR she brings things to a halt on a regular basis by questioning the reality of whats happening or making snide remarks about what people say. The Taylor Dane story was great. Also the latest episode of Lou Reads is up if you care. http://bit.ly/RussianBride

soru posted:Janeane Garofalo was a lot more tolerable than I expected her to be. She seemed pretty normal. Well she no longer drinks and wasn't being a shrill political freak. That goes a long way to make her seem less annoying. Plus being next to andy Dicks hysterics makes anyone seem mellow. I've actually met Ms. Garofalo in a social setting and she was rather pleasant. That that was when she was drinking so it was a long time ago.

I mean too much music, reading out of the Birbiglia book and then Besser's terrible John Lennon bit really wearing on me. Also the whole Besser as Zuckerberg just doesn't have any punch.

DangerDummy! posted:I really don't like Besser on CDR. I'll give him all the credit in the world for being in UCB and all, but any time I've seen or heard him solo he's been pretty terrible. His Kanye East (ahahahaha it's a Jap version of Kanye West!) schtick during one of the Cyber Thug takeover shows was really loving painful. Cyber Thug's not one of my favorites anyway, which is weird since I'm a big fan of Jerry Minor, but that one was especially bad. I actually posted my feelings on the CDR facebook page and was surprised to not get get buried with hateful responses. MY FEELINGS!!! I try not to comment on Besser too much because a friend of mine was the subject of his wrath in the NY Comedy scene a while back. (Basically said anyone who performed at this show he considered insulting to his friends on SNL was banned from performing at the UCB NY) He also had a really bad rep when I was taking classes at the UCB. I've heard enough horror stories about him from his former students to be guarded when he's performing. I actually liked the Kanye East thing because it was so over the top. However I didn't really get the Zuckerburg thing. It was just kind of random. In good news a NEW CDR popped up today as if to make up for the last one! Episode 76.1 - Zach Galifianakis, Paul F. Tompkins, Dillon Campbell Paul F Tompkins & Scott Aukerman both tweeted about it last night I guess. Hooray. Also the latest episode of Lou Reads is up if you want to hear my dulcet tones.

Satire Forum Mom posted:The bad rep Besser has is kind of warranted and kind of overblown. He does take improv/comedy very seriously and is demanding of students (where he comes off like a dick if you have sensitive feelings), but he's not an ogre. He's just a comedy hardass with high standards who is a bit of an eccentric. Besser may has softened. I have never taken a class with him. But he was famous for priding himself in making at least one student cry or quit his class when I was taking classes. I've been coached by many of his former students who spoke about the classes as being ordeals. I was involved in the show he decided to point his anger and UCB banning at and it was not pretty. It was almost as dumb as when Armando & Ali started the PIT and people were banned from performing there by the UCB. Anyway Besser's rage basically ruined the show which was called (Saturday Night Re-Written) and made the guy who ran it decide to quit comedy. It really broke his heart. So I'm biased. DLM was pretty drat funny today as was CDR. A great day for comedy!

Econosaurus posted:Lou, where do you work that you can record this stuff there? I work at a University where I have a lovely office where my desk faces an open door. Sometimes I am here alone for hours on end... nude... I'm actually very lucky that I have the time to do it here. It doesn't take all that long to record. Maybe an hour or so. That doesn't include having to read so much garbage on the forums I go to. Luckily the internet here isn't censored! I usually record from home though.

Episode 34 is one of the best. The one where John Hamm and John C Reilly have a Hamlet-Off. Also has a lot of great cameos. Episode 42 with the insane family of soviet acrobats who have crazy sex is really bananas.

Homeless Wonder posted:Tig Notaro's appearance on WTF was actually decent, probably because she didn't try to be funny & just told some interesting stories about hurricane Katrina hitting her home town. Yeah, this is my feeling about her. She's a decent, engaging story teller. However, she doesn't play well with others. Tending to throw roadblocks up for her own amusement. I mean among comics there is always some level of loving with each other but its usually not full on derailing of your bit. A really amazing example of this the CDR with Jeff Garlin and Andy Daly. Jeff Garlin is just riding Andy Daly. They are making all this stuff up and Jeff keeps trying to make Andy recall all the fine details of his improv'd life backstory then challenging him to remember them later in the show. An amazing amount of information is generated and Daly remembers everything. It's pretty amazing. Episode 46: Ben Stiller, Jeff Garlin, Paul F Thompkins and Andrew Daly. EDIT: I've really been enjoying catching up with the WTF podcast. I like that his fans give him a really hard time when they write in.

Beef Jerky Robot posted:Are you serious? You honestly think people didn't like the episode because she is a woman? He has forum cancer for a reason. I didn't think the DLM with the high teacher segway was that bad. It was interesting to hear the other side of the story as told by a high school teacher. It didn't have the energy of a live show but it wasn't awful. The Lenard Maltin Game was actually entertaining. I had no idea what movie they were talking about for the 15 person guess. Not the best episode but not unlistenable. I have kids of school age so that may have tempered my opinion.

I just downloaded the latest DLM and Sklar Bros. They both have Nick Swenson I'm getting a little overloaded with the obvious promo-tour rotation these guys are doing. It was Berbiglia the week before on every show. Nick, I get it, you have a new show on Comedy Central. Still looking forward to the shows just kind of would like to not have to listen to the same dudes on 3-4 sets o shows a week.

NecronSchmecron posted:Ah, ok, that's a better description of it and I might just check it out. I guess The Podcast Eating Contest is UYD-esque and I love the hell out of that (SOMEONE GET THEM TO STOP GURGLE BURPING INTO THE MIC!). Jesse Thorn is the host of The Sound of Young America and also Jordan Jesse Go! JJG is more of a side project. TSOYA has gone from interesting podcast to Public Radio show. Jordan Jesse Go! is only entertaining if you REALLY like Jesse and like to hear him prattle on and on about stuff. Especially his love of hip hop and his scorning of people over the age of 30. (That was a while ago. He may actually be 30 now himself) Jordan Morris is a TV personality on the Fuse network (if that still exists) and can be funny. I used to really like JJG but I stopped listening after a while. Also I'd like to chime in and say that the WTF with Adam McKay was enlightening. I love to hear how people found their way to comedy super-stardom.

Sock The Great posted:I'm new to CDR and really enjoyed Pastor Rhe, while skipping pretty much the entirety of the urban thugs episode. Perhaps I'm missing something, but 'What Am I Thinking' doesn't seem like it could be funny, ever. I think 'What Am I Thinking', while not hilarious, is entertaining. It helps if both people are really on the same page and one person is not totally high. There have been some funny ones in the past. Of course the best ones are when the people finally agree on the same thing at the same time. But that happens rarely on CDR. If someone is purposely spiking it then it extra sucks because its obvious and basically fucks the other person. I really liked the Halloween episode. It was super childish. Especially all the cockenstein jokes. I also enjoyed Jerry Minor constantly shouting down the ear wolf app. Over all it may have been too long and that freestyle rap part could have been eliminated but whatever. The only ghost rule is that GHOSTS RULE!

Admiral Goodenough posted:So what is the Leonard Maltin game? Basically Doug picks a genre of movie that has been reviewed by Leonard Maltin and asks people to guess the movie by how many cast members names they need to identify it. The players make bids on how many names, in reverse order of billing, they need to guess properly. If they are super confident they bid negative names and have to name movie as well as the cast themselves. Then there is the Most Dangerous Leonard Maltin Game. Thats when Leonard Maltin sets you free in the woods and hunts you for sport.
