Every one already knows Ice T, Bob Ducca, and Huell Howser rule. We all know that Bobby bottleservice is the best though. The man is an entrepreneur, and a Ed Hardy boy.Nick croll makes me laugh, and Any time Jerry Minor is on it will be a good show.

I really am happy all these stand ups found out about podcasting. We get free awesome radio shows every week. It's great. Doug Loves movies is great, and I am enjoying sklarbro country. The Nerdist is usually pretty fun as well. I am happy to see that Paul F. Tompkins actually has a podcast now, so I will be checking that out.

What's up hot dogs.

I also find myself legitimately loving the music Paul Rust does, but other than Don't Stop or We'll Die, I can't find anything else. It's disappointing.

Okay, I may have misjudged Comedy Death Ray.

I downloaded a show from July with Paul F. Thompkins, Todd Glass and a character named August Lindt, a german tourist.

That was utterly hysterical.

So, that's 1 for 2. Anyone have any suggestions for specific CDR shows to catch?

I think number 31 is a classic. It has Micheal Cera, Harris Wittles, James Adomian,Paul F. Tompkins, Jimmy Pardo, and Nick Kroll. It is loving great.

I listened to the second part of the Gelman/Odenkirk CDR today and I was crying in laughter. The "play" was so goddamn funny. I think I could listen to a podcast of just Odenkirk making up poo poo. The Cool Whip Writing competetion?

Brett Gelman reading I-Brain continues to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard, and the play was so goddamn funny. I had to pause a few times, because I kept missing things.

Bald Bryan's sfx board was great though. Not as great as the one from Loveline, but Loveline had the greatest drops in the history of radio so that's not a fair comparison.

I just listened to the latest CDR, and its won me over. I'm sorry I doubted it. The Cake Boss is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, period. Was that Paul F. Tompkins?

Yeah it is.

I kept laughing about him being bit by the cake scarab. I also think that episode had the best would you rather in a while.

Like the guy above me, Nerdist, Doug Loves Movies, and Comedy Death Ray.

These are all great choices. WTF is good too if you like honest conversations about life and comedy. The Sklar Brothers new podcast Sklarbro country is really good as well. Even if you aren't into sports (I'm not).

Fitzdog Radio is pretty good. Greg Fitzsimmons usually has great guests and is generally a pretty decent podcast. The show is generally around an hour long. One of my favorite episodes is a little shorter than usual but has Bob Saget as the guest. If you're into Saget's comedy definitely check it out because he an Greg play really well off of each other.

WTF with Marc Maron is just really interesting to listen to. Before starting his podcast I didn't even know who he was. Now after listening for 2 months I feel oddly attached to his show. It's not always funny, it's not always interesting, but for some reason Marc's outlook on life is really interesting to hear. He's a very interesting person who struggles with real problems and more often than not it hits home with me. Hearing him quit smoking and listening to his attitude change through the course of the week was really inspiring. Some of his noteworthy episodes are:Episodes 75 & 76 which of course are the Carlos Mencia interviews.

I remember someone earlier mentioning dislike towards Natasha Leggero, I've heard of her a few times and really didn't think too much of her, but drat! On the latest episode of Maron's podcast (ep.101) she came of like a oval office. She kept going on about Marc's ex girls and arguments she's witnessed between them. I don't know if that's her stage persona or if she's that bitchy all the time maybe some of you goons can give me some insight because I don't know too much about her.

And like an abused wife I keep returning to smodcast. Although to my surprise the latest episode(130) was better than the last few weeks of the live shows Kevin Smith is still using dick sucking jokes as a go to comedic crutch. I'm curious to see how many of you listen to the red headed thoroughly beaten stepchild of the "smodfamily" The Toronto Ontario Mo & Glo Show. I don't know why I listen, Malcolm Ingram, the shows host isn't very likable on his own (although I liked his past appearances on smod) and his cohost is his mother. Each episode is like watching a car wreck. I don't enjoy it but I don't stop listening and I don't know why... Any other goons who listen to this one have thoughts on it?

I haven't listened to the most recent WTF, so I don't know how she comes off. I usually like her when she is on CDR though, and she seems to come off pretty nice there.

Also another good WTF episode is his interview with Dane Cook. It really helped my opinion of him honestly. I may not be a fan of his comedy at all, but he came off as a pretty genuine guy, and was at least honest with Marc unlike Carlos Mencia. I can tell that is the one thing Marc Meron hates is when people come on and bullshit him.

Borrego posted:

The episode with Dane Cook really changed my opinion of him as well. I'm not a fan of his in the slightest but I definitely think more of him since his appearance on Maron's podcast. Oddly enough though he appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and he bugged me for some reason. I guess that's the magic of WTF.

Well Rogan is pretty confrontational, and seems to not be able to really compromise his belief system. Maron seems to really want to figure out the person and see where they are coming from. I didn't hear the interview with Rogan though so I don't know how he was acting.

Speaking of Marc Maron. I loved him when he was on CDR with the Wacky Ding Dongs (The Birthday Boys). I was laughing when he was talking about how he actually had his hands behind his back when he was "tied up".

The first podcast I listened to was The Ricky Gervais Guide To, which was pretty good but I feel that a lot of them turned into just giving poo poo to Karl. The only part I didn't like was when Ricky would start interrupting Karl or Stephen. I'll probably get around to listening to the original podcasts.

I've been listening to You Look Nice Today and Comedy Death Ray. Both great, but I feel Scott Aukerman talks too much when he isn't very funny.

I disagree about Scott Aukerman not being funny. Dude makes me laugh quite a bit.He has this super sarcastic comedy style which I love, and I love his overly phony serious moments.

Alright, around episode 15 of Uhh Yeah Dude, the actual laugh our loud moments are rolling in. Congrats, Uhh Yeah Dude, welcome to the team.

Regarding Scott Aukerman... he does have his moments where he's funny, and his infrequent single lines. I love his running joke with Would You Rather where after every question he exclaims how "And that is EXACTLY how you play would you rather", and he comes up with hilarious stuff on the fly for that game. I've only heard them play "What am I Wearing?" once, and at the very end, when nobody has any loving clue how they were supposed to be playing, he ends it with "And that's how you play..." even though it WASN'T how you play. But whatever. I really really hope his Weirder Scott songs are meant to be horrible, because they are. But overall, his hosting abilities and cast of funny friends far surpass his own comedic value.

How in anyway shape or form are you supposed to think that his weirder scott songs are supposed to be not horrible. The whole joke is that they are awful parody songs. If you don't think Birthday Checks is hilarious then I don't know what to tell you.

I can't really get into UYD. I listened to the first 40 eps, and there were a few really good moments, but something about their schtick I can't put my finger on that I don't care for.
Love CDR though. Best characters are Huell Howser, Jesse Ventura, anything PFT, as well as, in addition to, therefore, Bobby Bottleservice. If only there was a female version of him I could go on an adequate date with. Chupacabra is great too.

I like CDR because it lets comedians be funny in a different format than just stand up. I don't really like Todd Glass's comedy that much but he's always funny on CDR. His Soobaorou story was hilarious. Scott Aukerman's stand up isn't that great either but I love his hosting style.

On WTF Scott has talked about how he was never a good stand up. He said he was always more into the improv, and sketch comedy world. So he is aware of his lovely stand up.

I think I'd like Comedy Death Ray a lot more if they got rid of the skits. When it's just comedians talking and bullshitting with each other, it's great.

I think that's the same reason Nerdist is my favorite Podcast currently.

If anyone also likes MMA/Pro Wrestling, Figure Four Weekly's Bryan and Vinny Show is absolutely hilarious. They review the pro wrestling/MMA shows of the week and usually just destroy them. There are also a lot of poorly made songs, and a few expertly made songs, and a lot of good funny poo poo.

The entire archive goes back to 2005, but it costs $10 a month to access. You also get access to a lot more of the "standard" podcasts they have on the site, and the online versions of their newsletters.

I disagree with you about CDR completely. Them joking around is fun, but the characters are what sets it apart from any other comedy podcast. Not to mention the characters are usually great.

Yeah, I'm with you. The characters are great, especially Paul F. Thomkins'. What I really like are the interactions between the guests who are not in character and the guests who are.

I do wish they'd space out Would You Rather a little more, though. Make it a treat, as Sarah Silverman would say.

Yeah I like that too, because it really shows how talented these comedians are. I think Scott talked about how he likes to see where the character goes when he is interacting with him. See what strange places they will go.

Time to get low brow conversational all up in here:

After Hours with Heidi and Frank

Frosty, Heidi, and Frank is a morning talk show that airs is southern California--for a while it was on 97.1 FM, but it now currently airs on some AM station. I used to listened to the show on my walks home from school, and enjoyed the co-hosts' chemistry and general sense of humor (they are, admittedly, pretty drat stupid sometimes, but I find it endearing. Or something like that).

After they left 97.1, they had a podcast called Frosty, Heidi, and Frank Uncensored, which I really liked, but all episodes have been taken off of their official website since joining the AM station. If you can find them, I would recommend listening to them.

They are now doing a podcast without Frosty (the punching bag of the group, and a source of some of the best jokes and radio moments)--I'm not exactly sure why. I haven't listened to many episodes of the current podcast, but they've had guests on all but one that I've heard. I would recommend listening to the latest one (34) or 30 for a good sense of what they're like.

What I've heard of the first episode seemed pretty boring, and there are one or two episodes in the 20s that might be skippable--one had a boring guest, and the other involved audio issues of some sort (they mentioned it in another episode, I haven't actually heard it).

If you like them, here are an assload of episodes from the FM broadcast: http://www.archive.org/details/Frosty_Heidi_and_Frank_classic_podcast_shows

Edit: Even more episodes: http://www.archive.org/details/Frosty_Heidi_and_Frank_classic_podcast_shows_part2

I actually used to listen to them quite a bit on 97.1, but then they kind of just disappeared. I remember they were pretty fun, and silly. I liked that about them. You're right about them being pretty stupid at times, but they always seemed like they were having a great time.
