Red Bar Radio - https://www.redbarradio.com

This is the most likely the longest running and definitely the best comedy podcast. Host Mike David and rotating comedian co-hosts meet up in his Chicago apartment to talk about Monique and other pieces of pop culture.

To be fair I thought almost every tangent Tj went on was really funny and a lot more entertaining than 7 rounds of Len Maltin. I can see why Doug would be irritated but drat did he seem genuinely upset.

I'd rather have more of TJ talking about how Yogi Bear was the ultimate joke than having the LenMal game played by nobodies.

Hah, that's it! I watched Exit the other night, and couldn't remember where I'd just heard 'Mr. Brainwash'. We're talking about less than a week here, drat.

Rumor goes that the whole documentary was a work to see how people would react to Banksy's art if they thought it was from a guy with a known identity who was "inspired" by Banksy.

CDR was loving great, I just love the episodes where they have characters, they're always hilarious.

There's something hilarious about hearing the dynamic between all the CDR hosts trying desperately to shift the responsibility of writing a limerick while staying in character.

Why the gently caress is Red Bar Radio not in the OP?

redbarradio.com

Funniest podcast and one of the best produced out there. Three shows a week, 2-3 hours a show. And it's been running for SEVEN years.

I agree. It does take a while to get used to Mike's "character" but once it clicks it's solid gold.

:psyduck: You think Red Bar loving Radio is a morning zoo show?

The only loving thing even approaching that from is the bumpers. Other than that, it is the most insane, off-the-rails show I've ever heard in my life. It is hosted by an insane cocaine and Adderal addict and regularly co-hosted by the poorest stand up comic in Chicago (though hopefully his new CD changes this).

Redbar isn't on the level of humor where it's the words they're saying that are the joke. As with the best shows on all media, it's about the characters.

I think the only other time they've had that happen was the Jon Dore/Jon Dore's GF episode, where they went 13 for 13 and still didn't get it ("Superman Returns")

I'm not at all smart when it comes to film, but when I know the movie before the guests it makes my day.

Also, Doug really likes picking "It's Complicated" for every category where it would fit.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I had a bunch of other stuff to post about, but accidentally erased it. So instead, I'll talk about Red Bar Radio. Can't believe I forgot about this show, but here's the shows own description:


Basically, it's the podcast staple of the Chicago comedy scene, kinda' like how CDR is the podcast staple of the Bay Area improv scene, RBR features some of your favorite well-known comedians (Todd Glass is a regular feature) and really good local Chicago acts. I'd completely forgotten about this show and haven't listened to it in some time, but at least back when I still did last year, it was really good.

I just brought Red Bar up in the Charlie Sheen thread, where it got this glowing review.

Yeah, the quality of RBR tends to fluctuate depending on Mike's general mood and the guest hosts he has with him. For example when Mike's girlfriend left with Dean and he was depressed, the show was poo poo, but when Kyle and Fritz became regular guys it became amazing again.

There are some incredibly uncomfortable bits such as his attempt to reclaim the word friend of the family for the purposes of comedy and I always feel pretty bad when they prank call people but it's balanced out with the smallest moments of absolute genius such as their freestyle raps and rants about Subway.

The prank calls are the best prank calls because they give the person a real chance to bounce back and forth before they break into insults.

Also the insults are pretty cute too. "You stink! You smell! I don't like you! Your hair looks nice!"

Another piece of comedy gold in regards to Cake Boss is when he calls people out on being bitten by radio active cake bugs. They were just regular cake bugs.

Don't forget the distinction between cakebugs, which give the gift of the second sight, and cake-scarabs, which carry the disease of cakewolf-ism.
