Walking the Room is growing on me too. The two of them have a lot of chemistry, but it's much more antagonistic than most podcast host teams. I keep waiting for the moment when the needling and ribbing turns sour and becomes an actual fight, but I haven't heard it yet.

Ograbme posted:I know it's juvenile but I always giggle a bit at "'ello! Oim the emperor of China, oi am!". When I heard it the first time I thought it was funny too, but he does it a lot on CFN. Joe Rogan seems mostly harmless when he's talking about science, weed, spirituality and all that silly stuff but I don't enjoy listening to him talk about women. That always gets a little upsetting for me. The nice thing is that his podcast has encouraged me to exercise regularly (I'm not eating healthier, though, so I'm sort of loving it all up, anyway.) In which episodes of the best show was Tom dumping on Rogan? I haven't listened to that show in awhile but I wouldn't mind hearing that. (I don't think science or spirituality is all that silly. I just think it's silly when Rogan talks about it.) SamuraiPaul fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jun 23, 2011 |

My biggest head-slapping moment was when he was talking about the moon landing. Like, he doesn't completely buy the conspiracy theories, but he's also not totally convinced we ever went to the moon. Seriously dude, what the gently caress?

A PRIZED MULE! posted:Why can't people just smoke weed or not and get over it? Doug has worn thin on me, DLM is one of the last podcasts I'll listen to because I don't like him as a person, even though I usually enjoy his guests. What he really needs is a reboot where he has something else to lean on other than the Leonard Maltin game. When I do listen to his show, that's usually where things start to dip anyway, and he'll cut off interesting and funny conversation just to shoehorn that stupid game in.

His stand up isn't that great either. I saw him here in Boise last year after having been a fan of DLM for a while and he just wasn't very good. The guests interaction for the Maltin game is ten times better than the actual game itself, but he has really fallen back to using it as the main crutch for his show. He mentioned it in his act here, but didn't end up playing it because the crowd was pretty small.

I think if he either A) drops the game, or B) gets out of UCB and actually does his podcast in a studio or something so he doesn't have to go "OH GOD FIVE MINUTES HURRY HURRY HURRY" the podcast would be leaps and bounds better.

I'm usually bored by the in-studio DLM episodes. I enjoy the performance aspect of the regular show and the crowd reactions, which I think helps the guests be funny and more broad. As far as the Leonard Maltin game, I enjoy the guests screwing it up or totally dominating, more than feeling like I'm playing along at home. My attention weaves in and out with any podcast though, because I'm usually listening at work and working on, or reading, something else at the same time.

CFN is one of my favorites, as someone who likes movies and comedians, it's turned into one of the most consistently good podcasts. The Greg Proops episode you mentioned was great, although I knew nothing about any of the movies they brought up. It's awesome when they get a guest on who really loves film.

I can't believe I ever listened to How Did This Get Made when this podcast exists. The Flop House is basically what I wanted HDTGM to be and I'd second the recommendation that people switch over. My only (small) gripe is that they spend over half the time bullshitting about whatever and not as much on the actual movie (although we wouldn't get gems like 'what if penny met a dinosaur' or the porthole of time).

I keep waiting for the moment when the needling and ribbing turns sour and becomes an actual fight, but I haven't heard it yet. I think we may be too late--on one of the early podcasts, I think it was maybe 14 or 15, they talk about what it was like to work on their early internet show. (Some pre-podcasting radio network that is long since gone.) Their producer drove them apart and they didn't speak for two years. A better cuddlah than I could tell you the specific episode. Speaking of WTR, Greg is releasing a new edition of one of his albums, and I love the jacket art: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=180147085374884&set=pu.127915030598090 There might be cake!

I remember listening to Carolla a few weeks ago and he was implying that Rogan put out a super misogynistic vibe when he took over the Man Show that alienated a lot of staffers. You know you're probably a misogynist when even Carolla is calling you one.

You know you're probably a misogynist when even Carolla is calling you one. Rogan actually stopped going on the Howard Stern show after Howard said something similar. here is a rundown of the specifics quote:Gary said he was also annoyed this morning by Joe Rogan's statement about why he no longer does the show. Howard agreed, and said Joe claimed to have been upset by Howard talking about a trip the two had made to a strip club. Howard had later commented that Joe made nasty comments to the strippers, and he wasn't sure if Joe liked women. For some reason, Joe took it seriously. Gary said he doesn't know why Joe didn't just come on the show and defend himself. Howard said Joe seems like a guy who holds a grudge, and Gary agreed, saying that Joe has a lot of Pat Cooper in him. Seems like a pretty obvious trend. I still really like Joe as a commentator and a host for his podcast. The Experience is my favorite by quite a bit.

Just saw Bill Burr at the Hollywood Improv and he killed. Joey Diaz was supposed to go on before him, but apparently flaked out at the last minute and we got Rogan instead. I would put Burr up there with Louis CK, he's really one of my favorites, but Rogan stole the show. Both women I was with said Rogan was by far the funniest. I guess he cloaked his misogyny well.

How does a star of Joe Rogan's calibre do a fill in spot for a relative unknown, albeit a loving hilarious one, like Joey Diaz? It should totally be the other way around (you lucky motherfucker)

The podcast that I've listened to most consistently over the years is Red Bar Radio : http://redbarradio.com They feature regular working Chicago Comedians, and are themselves part of the local comedy scene, it gives you more of an insider's perspective. Interesting if you're tired of the usual touring comics who crop up again and again on podcasts when they have something to plug.

Elphiem posted:The podcast that I've listened to most consistently over the years is Red Bar Radio : http://redbarradio.com Haha, RBR is hilarious but also loving nuts. Mike David wavers between comedy genius and insane, hateful, spite-filled rear end in a top hat so many times in an episode, I always come away from it feeling kind of gross. I think it's amazing that he can go on the show and say what he says and still have a successful comedy career - his comedy club hosted a big event this year and everything. Crazy. The show has produced some brilliant comedy over the years - the saga of Tim from Boston, the Elan story, basically anything involving daytime talk shows - but drat if it isn't really hard to listen to sometimes. James Fritz usually keeps Mike in check when he's on, though. I love it though - only podcast I've listened to for over 3 years and still love (sorry Keith and the Girl, but you got kinda boring after you broke up). abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jun 24, 2011 |

How to Do Everything isn't setup-punchline funny, but there is a kind of charming humor in how seriously they delve into some weird how-to advice. This week: how to wear a monocle, how to laugh manically. Last week's highlight was how to transport a space shuttle and how to get your dog to stop fearing your freezer, and the week before had solutions regarding sneezing in space.

I'm still listening, but let's be honest, 7 of those minutes are the same in every episode. I think they'd do well if they had a guest come on, instead of doing the same odd conceptual stuff they are doing right now. In the first episode, PFT was playing an actual historical person and the jokes were funny and believable. I never bothered to start listening to professor blastoff as soon as I read here that it's not trying to be funny. If I want to listen to a podcast about philosophy, I'm going to guess there's probably a lot better out there.
