King Lou posted:I've been listening to the Jay Mohr podcast... its so fun to listen to. Such great stories. The only bad part of it is all the Smodcast cornball advertising thats jammed on the front. I got tired of hearing "Smodcast is going Say for Pay" as if getting a CD quality podcast is a super great thing. Its archival! The best part about it is the fact Jay Mohr will tell you exactly who he is talking about, as opposed to people who go "I don't want to name names."

It's one of my pet peeves when they do this on podcasts. I understand why but it really takes away from a good story. I've had this in my backlog of podcasts to listen to but i'll be listening to this soon.

On the other hand since comedians are usually assholes they tend to give hints that are just as identifying as a straight up name. There have been several occasions on Doug Loves Movies and CBB where someone has refused to name a name but the 2nd or 3rd guest is dead set on making them say it so they start naming off identifying characteristics that make it completely obvious. Greg Proops is coming back to Santa Monica Wednesday LA people!

That PFT art is awesome. If high quality prints are made for sale, I'm buying one and having it framed. That is hot poo poo. Also, has Jay Mohr talked poo poo about Bobcat yet? I really want to know if he has, and which episode(s).

In particular his wife comes on and they talk about her relationship with Bobcat and what happened. It doesn't paint Bobcat in a flattering light. This is the one MOHR STORIES #3: THE DOUBLE ALBUM Jul 21, 2011 - In which Jay and Barry Katz discuss the truth behind Last Comic Standing. Plus: Nikki Cox sits in to give her opinion on "things".

Is the 2nd half of this week's CBB any better than the first? Good lord I could barely get through half of it, and Patton tweeted Friday that he was dying laughing while recording it. I feel betrayed

Actually, yeah, it got a little bit better, but I hear where you're coming from. Disappointing. It sucks when the characters dominate the show, especially when they have a genuinely good guest on.

I loved his drop in plug, too. E: "....somebody gets taken..." S: "Like that movie Taken? Mike Detective Season 2, coming soon..." You know, there's bitching here just about every week, but I can't remember the last time I didn't love an ep of CBB. Sure, PFT/Daly/etc make for something special, but I don't think I've ever disliked one.

Well, that's the first episode of CBB that I've turned off midway. Pepitone's character is tedious and uninspired. But what makes up for it is that I finally got around to checking out "Mohr Stories" it's really engaging and funny. I heard good things about it, but didn't pick it up for ages because I was like, "Eh, Jay Mohr... " but the first three episodes are golden. Between that and working through the backlog of "Mike and Tom" it makes up for the slump in CBB. PFT will bring it back, though. EDIT: The Smodcast ads in front are embarassing, terrible and very good at convincing me to never check out another podcast on the network. j8910 fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Aug 16, 2011 |

Normally I dont agree with the complaints in this thread but that last CBB was an absolute disaster. If Patton was laughing throughout the episode I can only assume he was laughing at how bad it was. Theres one good thing about the episode if you know Eddie Pepitone as a person (or performer i guess). Even though he was doing a character that had absolutely nothing to do with current events he still found away to throw in his opinion on geopolitics. He just cant help it.

There were a couple of gross moments but to me this was the best CBB in a while  I was afraid at first that Scott was going to do a more interview-y show like we've been getting more of lately and I was relieved when Eddie came in. I thought the character was about as clever as you could get when the punchline is "this guy is amazingly fat". Also, Scott and Patton ripping on Eddie while he had to sit there and take it in-character at the end was great.Edit: This week's Jeff and Tom Eat Snacks was also really good!

I must just be dark/bitter as hell, as I dig Pepitone, and I dug this recent CBB. I have to admit that it wasn't a particularly strong one, but far from worst.

There isn't much talk of "Jim and Eddie Talk poo poo" here, but it's my favorite podcast so I figured I'd share here. I saw Eddie last weekend in SF. Awesome show and he was a really cool guy when I talked with him afterwards. I bought a CD and he signed it "Jason is a fat oval office! -Love Eddie", which any fan of the show will probably appreciate. I guess this is kind of off topic, but has anyone heard of Craig Anton? He opened for Eddie and I thought he was hilarious. The amount of podcasts/comedy I listen to I figured I would have heard of him before.

I was definitely lukewarm on the character but I gotta say, Patton is always such a great guest because he's always asking characters questions and trying to unearth more comedic potential from them. Didn't work out so great this time, but I appreciate the effort.

If anyone else is interested in just this bit, skip to about 93 minutes in. They talk about Bob for the final 20+ minutes.

I listen to the longshot podcast so it's not like I dislike the guy. I just think the character didn't go anywhere and the laughs were few and far between, unlike most episodes of CBB which I pretty much can't stop laughing.

Ugg. Pepitone was like a worse version of Merrill Schindler; I never thought such a thing was possible. I didn't last more than a few minutes after he entered because that was loving gross. Am I the only one that's getting tired of CBB (and Earwolf in general)? It used to be a little hit or miss, but overall pretty good. Nowadays it seems like the episodes have been hit or miss or miss or miss.

"Womp it up!" was great, but I just don't look forward to CBB anymore. It used to be that every Monday (or before that, Friday) I was like "Awww yeah, bitches, it's on!". Now, it seems like it lags until later and later in the week before I listen to it. I hope they get it back together, because when it's great it's really great.

'n'thing the sentiments about CBB being pretty weak as of late, and Mohr stories being an entertaining listen. In fact, for the last few weeks Mohr Stories has overtaken CBB in my podcast rotation at work when it comes to listening priority.

Between that and working through the backlog of "Mike and Tom" it makes up for the slump in CBB. PFT will bring it back, though. Mohr is interesting to me because he seems off or damaged but I can't put my finger on exactly why. My best guess is that he's a narcissist who once was very popular but now has come back down to Earth. Also, he seems like a genuinely funny guy, but he relies way too heavily on impressions which seem to me like a crutch for unfunny comics. His impressions are great, but how many times can you hear him doing Tracy Morgan saying "I'm gonna get everyone here pregnant" before it's not funny anymore? Also, there are moments where he can seem as stupid as Joe Rogan, but he doesn't seem to be as constantly stupid as Joe Rogan. I guess maybe that's from starting in comedy clubs as a teen and forgoing any higher education. I've heard him mention his "beautiful wife" several times already... does he ever touch on the subject of her horrible plastic surgery?
