Lugaloco posted:Holy poo poo that What's Bother You? segment was loving dark. I'm glad Besser brings up poo poo like this and tries to make something out of it because it really highlights what monsters some people really are underneath. Every time a clip from the documentary played I was loving furious, those people shouldn't be allowed to even be near kids never mind have their own. It was horrifying but I completely saw the humor in everything they were saying. The jurors and teacher had such an absurd perspective and the only rational thing to do was laugh about it. I've lived in the south, midwest, and west coast and it's always cracked me up how people on the coast think it's any different. There are terrible people everywhere, and it's just a matter of how comfortable they feel about expressing it.

In the past I've rolled my eyes when comedians on podcasts talk about civilians, but man call ins are usually so terrible. I guess it's just an unfortunate fusion of unfunny people and internet accessibility. Someone how Sean and Hayes are the perfect podcast duo for me. I never get tired of them and they never break their act beyond small laugh breaks. I can listen to multiple episodes and it's like canoeing on a funny podcast river.

I was debating buying a 3ds and the new Pokemon game, then I heard Besser's and Meadows' reaction to the Pokemon girl. It gave me the reality check I needed.

All it took was the question of why? I had no answer better than her's and I do enough things to waste my time.

Help Im Alive posted:I think in some interview they did they said RSS was basically way too much effort since they'd have to watch a ton of reality TV every week just to get enough material for like a 40 minute podcast (Plus we were the only ones actually listening to it) That makes sense, but now I whenever I do watch reality tv I imagine their opinions on it. It's both a curse and blessing.

cams posted:gently caress, this is really awful. Way back when I first started listening to Comedy Death Ray Radio, Harris was one of the first guys I really latched on to and got really into as a comedian. His issues with this stuff really strike me deep and I cannot say enough about how terrible it is tha I'm in the same boat. Harris was a guy I immediately related to. Unsurprisingly I've also been to rehab, but hey at least I didn't relapse and upgrade to heroin. Hopefully he gets real control over himself again, he's only 30.

GobiasIndustries posted:I also enjoy Bitch Sesh. The first episode I listened to was the one where they read the email chain between those parents re: photos for teacher appreciation day and somehow I lucked into the episode where Casey talks about making GBS threads herself as my 2nd episode. Yeah the email chain is what introduced me to the show and it's a great episode to start with. I love Bitch Sesh, but my girlfriend and I like to get drunk and marathon bad reality shows like Housewives every once in awhile so the show is very comfortable for me to get into.

Plus, Gabrus Jessica McKenna and Eugene Cordero, it'd be impossible to not be funny. Gabrus and McKenna are the best and I'm glad Besser recognizes it. Cordero's cool too but I love those two every time.

I've relistened to the Mopes trilogy on improv4humans recently and I just listened to the Off Book with Jon Gabrus. If Gabrus and McKenna aren't involved with some one season ensemble comedy I'm going to be very disappointed in the world. I'm not asking for much here.

Fezz posted:He got really real on last week's Wompler podcast during Listler's Love Lockdown about an older couple waiting to have kids and then having trouble conceiving. That part of the show has really evolved to serious heartfelt advice from ridiculous characters. Jessica's surprise at his insights was legit hilarious. I honestly have mixed feelings about the Lockdown segment. I appreciate it and they want to do it. They do it well and with open hearts. But the listeners they pick are depressing as hell sometimes.

It hit me recently how long I've been listening to some of these shows and these comedians. I recently listened to the I4H episode that was Drew Tarver and Mary Holland's debut on the show. Besser introduces them as being funny members of UCB halrod teams.

FitFortDanga posted:Okay HH fans, I find I have room for another podcast in my life and I'm wanting to give "the boys" a real chance to win me over (I listened to one or two episodes once about 4-5 years ago, had mixed feelings but I mostly enjoy them on Doughboys/CBB). It seems like there's a lot of inside jokes and lore involved, so I'd rather not jump around and cherry-pick episodes. I'm in no rush to catch up. Is there a certain point where the podcast starts getting "good", or should I just start from episode 1? There's really not a ton of lore it's just getting used to the tone of the podcast. And they've changed a few times over the years and dropped a lot of what was there in the beginning. I'd say cherry picking is fine with guests you like. The Doughboys and Scott episodes are always great, Sinbad is a classic older episode, and then the Jameela Jamil and Kate Miccui episodes were in the last few months and a lot of fun. Any episodes that focus on the engineers or Earwolf staff are about all you need for a lot of the inside jokes.

Yeah 2018 was a great year for HH. They know what they like doing at this point and they do it really well.
