Also, he's on two episodes of Stop Podcasting Yourself and one of WTF. One of my all-time favo(u)rite Canadians.

The bit in The Nerdist interview with Jonathon Coulton about Mario doing ventriloquism made me laugh so loving hard while I was driving today.

Oh poo poo, there's going to be a live WTF in Dallas on the 19th at Trees. Any DFW goons going? I'm just curious how much tickets will be.

Seeing Marc Maron with the girlfriend tomorrow at Trees in Dallas. I'm pretty excited. Haven't seen a show there since I saw Arcade Fire in late '04 or early '05, can't remember. Any other goons going?

^^^I just listened to the episode hosted by Cyber Thug (Jerry Minor) with Jerry O'Connell as the guest, it was pretty outstanding.

How was it? I've seen a life WTF, but never his stand up (aside from the albums).

It was great. His standup bit at the start of the show was hilarious, a bit of which centered on the locale we were in, which is always fun to hear an outsider's perspective on. He brought on a lot of Texan comics I hadn't heard of, all of which were terrific, and he gave each of them some time to do their own bits before bringing them into the panel.

I just hate the smoking ban in Dallas, I probably missed a good 8 minutes of the show outside, only able to hear laughter and not what prompted it.

Let him appear on WTF.

There's a pretty convincing example of a Nainan mass e-mail on the AST forums, which closely matches the tone, language, and d-baggery of the e-mail Marc was reading.

Wow, I'd never heard of this douche before now, but jesus, what an arrogant oval office.

EDIT: Had to look him up on youtube.

Are all of his loving jokes about his race? Mad hackiness.

I just realized Scott Aukerman is Theo Brixton in the It's Insane This Guy's Taint sketch on Mr. Show. I knew he was a writer and performed a bit, but I don't know how I didn't realize he was in one of my favorite bits.

Hahahaha, so I just checked my email, and lo and behold, I got a terrific message from Dan Nainan, hack comedian extraordinaire. He's the guy that tried to bribe Marc Maron into bringing him on WTF. I guess I posted something about how he was a hack who writes the world's easiest jokeson one of his videos on youtube. I don't remember what it was, and I can't find about because he deleted it, but man, how sad of a human being do you have to be to personally email someone who posts a negative comment on your videos?
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec_iYKigxRU if you don't remember who this is)

Here it is:
"My YouTube views, in the millions.

Yours, in the hundreds.

Me, traveling the world in first class (headlining theaters in UK right now and heading off to Dubai, moscow, Colombo sri Lanka and Bangalore, India next month) and earning up to $15,000 a show.

You, trying to find a job.

Ha ha ha.

I think the best part is that it comes from a hotmail account. REALLY? YOU'RE MAKING THAT MUCH MONEY AND YOU STILL HAVE A HOTMAIL ACCOUNT?

Since I'm unemployed, I somehow found the time to reply to him:

My mind is reeling at this. I mean, for such a well paid, OBVIOUSLY highly respected comedian like yourself, I am so utterly flattered that you took the time away from playing corporate gigs and writing your trademark racial jokes to read the comment I wrote, delete it, go and watch my videos enough to gather that I'm unemployed (or perhaps you even went to my blog for that information!), and send me a boastful email about all of your success.

I hope your show in "Columbo" went well. I was under the impression that series ended in the 70's, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm glad you get to travel first class. Obviously, that's the only sort of class you're able to muster. Hey, maybe you can use some of that $15,000 to try to bribe more podcasters to let you on their shows! Or maybe you can pay off some of your peers in an attempt to make anyone, and I mean anyone, like you.

Hey, if you ever happen to be looking for any joke writers, don't hesitate to ask! Here's one for free:
Why did the hack comedian email an unemployed college graduate? Out of spite? Nope! Because flaunting his money is the only thing that keeps him from committing suicide!

Actually, now that I think about it, you could maybe say "seppuku" instead of suicide. I know how much you love that racial humor!

Oh, P.S. I loved you in The Last Airbender!

Holy poo poo Doug Benson sent me a direct message on twitter!



DougBenson,
You looking to get blocked?




:smith:

Don't make fun of his new show I guess since he seems a little touchy.

He's kinda always touchy. I once sent him a tweet after watching Super High Me saying something to the effect of, "hey, so was there a reason you never inhaled while you were filming?" I just got bothered as a pot smoker because it looked as though he would just take the smoke into his mouth and then blow it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWxu7KrPGic (you can kinda see what I'm talking about in here.)

Anyway, a day later I got a response:
"No one i've smoked with in person has ever accused me of not inhaling. Sorry I don't do it according to your exacting standards."

annnnnnd I was blocked.

I don't know dude, he looks like he's inhaling to me.

Yeah, I think it was at certain points in the movie. Generally when he was using a pipe. I think I was real high at the time and for some reason it bothered me enough to actual use my twitter.

You're being kind of creepy. Let him be an unfunny dick and leave it alone.

I know it's sort of sad to respond to this, especially because I can see your point, but yeah, I did pretty much leave it alone and I'm still getting emails. It's creeping me out at this point.

He just sent me a recording of a phone call from a fan. Ughgh, this is so crazy creepy. I have no idea why he has a recording of this. OH MY GOD I'M LISTENING AND THIS SOUNDS SO FAKE. I'll post it later, I suppose.

I'm embarrassed I let him get to me like that, but whatever. I already clicked send.

I've been meaning to post about this podcast for a while now, but I haven't really gotten around to it, for one reason or another, but may I present for your approval:

http://roundtableofgents.com/
The Round Table of Gentlemen

It is without a doubt the most vile, disgusting, offensive podcast I listen to, and it is absolutely delightful. I may be biased, as one of my former co-workers from college radio is the newsman on the program, but it regularly finds itself in my weekly rotation of podcast.

Episode 56 has CBB favorite James Adomian on the episode, so that may be a good place to start.

The format has takes a bit of getting used to, as the panel is generally composed of 6 to 9 people, but once you get a handle on the regulars and their respective voices, everything begins to fall into its hedonistic place, and you slowly find yourself placing yourself in the round table.

Not for the faint at heart, I suppose.
