Same, I'll give it a second listen some day. I listened to a portion in the car and tbh it's not super easy to remember the different names and voices. In fairness, I wasn't putting much effort in, been playing with my dog

good reason to ignore a podcast, tbh

yea I recently hopped in and it really is worth it, the E2s are almost always as good as the E1s so if you like any of them there's an instant good bit, and the D&D game is pretty drat solid. Plus they do weird silly character stuff there sometimes, for sure worth it.

Yea like I get that it's super not an 'episode 1' thing so yea if you're just here for goofs and weird internet humor it's not that but it's a pretty solid discussion and it's nice to hear the actual Branson talk about something he's passionate about.

was it Branson who on the 'respectful chuckle' or whatever the NPR parody was told a terrible fake radio play so bad it made the other guys break and you could hear them saying poo poo like 'gently caress that' while he was doing mouth sound effects?

The best E1s are when they're just racing to make the other guys break, I just relistened to both the recorder of deeds debate episodes and the 'feeling like' tangent they just started going on had me in tears.

Feeling like The Joker putting on The Mask

That was Charles, and, in keeping with the other subjects that people have been bringing up, Pinot Noir is barely differentiable from A Prairie Home Companion's actual Guy Noir and its mouth-generated sound effects.

yea that episode literally made me remember the many, many, dreadful sunday drives with my father who loved Prairie Home Companion listening to that. I hadn't thought of that in ages and with E1's dark magic it was revived in my mind.

Good to know it's just all of them that share the dark gift, and not JUST Branson.

I love that signature Andrew writing technique of characters making declarative statements about their personality and background that sound like they were written by an alien

he's right that there's too many movies for normal people and not npcs, and it's time they got their film.

I think one of my favorite bits is video game stuff existing. Screwing with your ping, clipping, turning into a cat boy on your new game + spawn.

'you appear to be clipping through your chair' from the neighborhood association episode is a joke that lives in my brain forever

yea if there's a deeper bit I missed it, it's just a solid parody of 'morning zoo crew' poo poo with an absolutely hilarious voice thrown into the mix. It's like the fishing episode, there's no real deeper joke, there's just a pretty good idea for a joke that's made fantastic when one of them does an all timer voice that wrecks the other two guys.

The Austin Powers card game video was pretty funny, hopefully we get another one before Branson moves onto a new obsession

The legitimate joy when Branson figured out his deck did indeed counter Fat Bastard after saying it couldn't was adorable and I genuinely wish nothing but the best for the E1 boys.

So when they were listing the nerdcore rappers, were they riffing because they wrote the name lists for each other and didn't let them see or do we think there's an actual nerdcore guy named 'Teh Selleh Monkeh' and 'The White Shy Guy' because I'm at 50/50 between them

What exactly is this?

Felix from chapo has made multiple jokes about wanting to make an Obama-Era style extremely sincere centrist political 'comedy' script in the same vein as that dogshit Steve Carrel movie from a couple years ago where the joke is just 'boy...POLITICS huh??? POLITICS???' with a weird sexual undertone of wanting to get just loving dommed by an Ann Coulter stand-in and call it 'Push Poll' so I guess he's finally living his dream

basically imagine Saints of Soulard but about how John Stewart is so right.

E1 is hilarious but they also have a genuine extremely specific gift for capturing very specific tones and boy can Branson really nail the most cringy 'I can't tell if you're a 13 year old trying to sound cool or a 45 year old trying to sound cool but boy is neither a good answer for what you've written'. Saints of Soulard is literally the most perfect parody of that kind of poo poo I've ever seen.
