I love all those characters when he does them on CDR but it's been a little stilted on the podcast so far. This latest one was looser and pretty good. I haven't liked the taped bits from his Largo shows. They were probably hilarious in person.

I agree, PFT is probably my favorite podcast guest and makes any show a multiple listen, but his own podcast isn't killing me dead with laughter like I thought it would.

I'm going to plug another one of my podcasting projects, since it seems to be in line with the thread: Those drat Ross Kids It's a show that I do with my brother, in a very similar vein to You Look Nice Today with a little Uhh Yeah Dude mixed in. We're keeping the episodes short right now, but they've been getting a good response. I submit it for your approval, and welcome any feedback. iTunes link.

I know Tom's had stuff going on like the Matador Vegas stuff and Gonerfest. Plus the WFMU schedule was just released, so if he really was quitting TBS probably wouldn't be on there.

A new one I've been checking out is The Podcast Eating Contest. They don't have a set format yet, and it's just three dudes talking, but they're pretty funny. If they hit their stride they could be amazing. It sounds silly, but I was laughing so hard at their show today on the bus that I had to go into a laugh seizure rather than laugh so loud as to disturb people. They're kind of an overly silly and absurd UYD.

I love love love the lost project so far, but his Garry Marshall impression in the latest edition was kind of lax. He was a lot funnier and more bombastic when he improved (improv'd?) him on that one episode of CDR. The way he yelled during the whole call was hilarious. I think we might be in for a John C. Reilly/Cake Boss call on the next podcast, so I can't friggin' wait! There need to be more nerds in the world so Paul F. Tompkins can finally get the propers he deserves for being awesome and amazing. The goddamn Situation is a loving household name and this dude languishes in almost total obscurity. Stupid kids and their goddamn reality televisions.

Just listened to the most recent Smodcast with Kevin Smith's mom. She's been on there before, but it had been a while. I just realized how much Walt Flanagan sounds like Kevin's mom, not just in accent but also in cadence and mannerisms and occasionally getting ashamed by something. Kind of creepy once you notice it.

No love for This week with Larry Miller? Its pretty good and upbeat, its just Larry Miller sitting there telling stories about whatever he feels like for 1/2 hour. Its pretty entertaining and I think there's only about 5 or 6 episodes so far.

Mike Birbiglia is on the new CDR. I just clicked play so I don't know how it is but I'm sure it's good. If you haven't heard Birbiglia's stand-up, do yourself a favor.

Larry Miller cannot go five words without mentioning drinking. The story of him drunkenly banging that hooker with his friends and his friend almost sexually assaulting another friend's mother was a particular treat. Yes, this is a story Larry Miller discussed in his latest podcast.

I agree, but he is brilliant and it's only 3 episodes in. Once he gets a hang of what's funny and what doesn't work I"m sure they'll pick up substantially. The fake drunken phone call was priceless though.

In fact, I think the current TAL episode "Fear of Sleep" features that one if I'm not mistaken. Speaking of TAL, it's a terrific podcast, even if it's not often related to comedy. I'm having an issue with it, though - I use Google Reader / Listen to listen to it, and the last couple of episodes haven't shown up. Anyone else have this problem?

Birbiglia's part of the newest This American Life is my favorite Birbiglia so far. Also, I absolutly LOVE that podcasts are recognized as such a viable form of media that they now have a circuit. First everybody from The League was on CDR, DLM, The Nerdist, now Mike Birbiglia is doing TAL, CDR and Nerdist. Has it always been like this, at least for established comedians? Or is this new?

Well the entire forum is kinda new, so it's all new. Comedians have always had hard time promoting their gigs. When have you ever seen an ad on TV or the radio telling you where to go to see a stand up comedian perform live? Almost always on a show where they had to perform live. Birbiglia is a far better writer that a performer in my opinion. I've heard him on This American Life, and on WTF, and he's definitely good at writing material, and not as good at presenting it. It makes me kind of sad, but comedy authors make chump change. ninjoatse.cx fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Oct 14, 2010 |

I hope one day TAL does an episode that's just a compilation of Birbiglia's bits because they're my favorite (along with Hodgeman).

I think the circuit is new, a lot of guys have done their promotions on the Adam Carolla show but I only recently noticed people making the rounds on all the other shows. Birbiglia is a funny standup, I love his specials (they're streaming on netflix), but he's not really good at improv or coming up with jokes on the fly. I wasn't a big fan of this weeks CDR, it's a shame because I was looking forward to listening.

Yeah, he didn't really seem to get any of Aukerman's silly wordplay jokes (so he'd probably be a real snoozer on Never Not Funny). On the Nerdist Chris was saying how Birbiglia is really into writing his jokes and is constantly writing so that probably gives creedence to him not being great at improv. I did enjoy the weird Beatles trailer in the episode though.

I liked this week's CDR. Yeah, probably won't be remembered as one of the bests, but it made me laugh out loud enough that it was worth it. I agree it started off really slow, and I took a break from listening like twenty minutes into it. But then Birbiglia started reading his stories, which are amazing, and Besser came in as Zuckerburg, which amused me to no end. Then the Nowhere Boy trailer, which is barely an exaggeration. The music got better too, I thought. Solid.

I'll give him all the credit in the world for being in UCB and all, but any time I've seen or heard him solo he's been pretty terrible. His Kanye East (ahahahaha it's a Jap version of Kanye West!) schtick during one of the Cyber Thug takeover shows was really loving painful. Cyber Thug's not one of my favorites anyway, which is weird since I'm a big fan of Jerry Minor, but that one was especially bad.
