Podmass put The Best Show in "The Rest" yet again this week! That is insane, back-to-back some of the best shows in a while! If someone ever wanted to try the show, do go for this week's and last week's.

I typically find entertainment in all of his hackneyed theories, even though I don't believe a bit of it. Lighten up buddy. EDIT: I was also surprised to learn he is the mythical one line of coke at a coke party guy. VVVVVV Teepkick Shakur fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Aug 26, 2011 |

The latest WTF with Doug Stanhope is pretty good. I was a little surprised to hear that in the weeks he's not drunk/drugged out on the road, he lives a generally sober small town life on the Mexican border. His friends are normal people in the late 50s who don't know/care what he does for a living, he hosts football parties every Sunday, and gets really into shows like Celebrity Apprentice.

Scienece means nothing to us now!" or talking about how awful people are and yes, everything listed above. It's kind of funny because he constantly mentions Ram Dass with this kind of unquestioning reverence, which he criticisize "the plebs" of giving to almost anyone else. He also seems super mean to Natasha. I feel like I listen to an hour of him implying how much better he is than her. He's just constantly berating her and aparently she's his girlfriend? It's funny because I've voted either Green or Liberal (in Canada) in every election I've ever participated in in my life. I consider myself a pretty lefty, liberal minded person but I can kind of see how reasonable people hate Liberals when I listen to Duncan. I don't realy have the interest or patience for Joe Rogan so I was wondering if it's a character. I was just wondering if it's a schtick or not.

It was going fine, but then he segued to Kurt Cobain I just watched the video and it wasn't bad at all, Danielle didn't react negatively or anything.

I don't find that he is mean to Natasha. I would probably be worse if I had to put up with her. She is the queen of the girls in high school who have no intelligence whatsoever but like to loudly talk about things and try to sound smart. How could she NEVER have heard of a sleeper cell while living in America? Some of the things she says makes me rub my eyes because I can't believe someone is that unintelligent. She doesn't even get basic concepts sometimes.

You should have been voting NDP like the rest the real left wingers in the country.  That said I think Duncan's fun to listen to when you're in a certain... "mindset". That can be said about the whole Joe Rogan podcast, I guess. I'm listening to the Nick Swardson episode from early this year(i think) and it's really good, got a lot more respect for him after hearing about his standup career and his story about booting Kramer off the stage.

moleman posted:I'm starting to dig them as well. Man, they really misrepresented themselves in the Earwolf Challenge as a "How to" esque show and confused the judges. The Earwolf Challenge seems really easily confused. It doesn't help that many of the podcasts they're criticizing are actually better than the Earwolf Challenge.

wafflesnsegways posted:The Earwolf Challenge seems really easily confused. It doesn't help that many of the podcasts they're criticizing are actually better than the Earwolf Challenge. I haven't listened to every episode, but it seems like some of the podcasts (thinking F Plus or Complete Guide to Everything) don't handle being compacted to 1.5-2 minutes well, or aren't really tailored for each challenge (it's people reading things on the Internet/two guys talking about stuff, would more recurring segments or more sketches or weekly guests really make it better?) Reality shows are by nature reductive, but making all the podcasts do all the possible things a comedy podcast can do in 2 minute clips feels needlessly reductive. GETTIN MAD AND WORDY ABOUT COMEDY PODCAST JUDGING I guess.

I agree with you, the premise is definitely flawed in that a comedy podcast doesn't need all this stuff to be great. It has brought some podcasts to me that I wouldn't have ever heard of without it though, and I gave some of the losers an extended try, so I think they got at least some of what they wanted out of it even if they didn't win.

Didn't Besser or one of the other judges flat-out say he "couldn't be expected to listen to an entire podcast"? I'm admittedly a big fan of most of Earwolf's stuff but Christ that's asinine. I agree the show does give good exposure to some pretty good podcasts, though.

I've been on vacation and using my time to go on hikes every day that it isn't raining (so no hike tomorrow, sadly  ) and have been catching up on podcasts as I hike. Definitely the strangest has been Lou Reads. It's a bit jarring to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural scenery while a guy reads you posts about diaper fetishes and bestiality. However, I did learn to stay far away from any centipedes I find on my hikes.

Fellas I'm quite behind on this thread and the podcasting world so forgive me if this question is easily answered but, are they currently having a comedy song contest on Comedy Bang Bang and either way what would be the best way to send them something like that?

I thought the incest reveal in the Carl Sjunior story was hilarious. At least the people in the room seemed to be having a really good time working their way through it and other bits.

I love Comedy Bang Bang most of the time but if you just compare it to what it brings when Harris Wittels and Adam Scott are in there; its quite different. I liked it, but everyone was sort of bad (or certainly not at their best) that it eventually gets funny. Also, just not enough Phone Corner.

gently caress the lumber mill guy is way more hilarious when there are two of them. I had to stop listening when they got to the "Actually, his last name was Sjunior." "Did your wife change her last name?" "Actually her maiden name is Spieces." "Patrice Spieces?" First time i've been in tears laughing at CBB in as long as I can remember. Holy gently caress. Also, gently caress you stashberry pie. webster876 fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Aug 29, 2011 |

The 8/16 show was probably the best I've heard since I started listening, especially the first hour. With a few exceptions, if he kicked the current crop of regular callers to the curb for good, it would only be for the best. Even Spike's only entertaining now when Tom spends two minutes explaining him to the audience. And, call me crazy, but I never got the thing with the goddamn puppet. That "I'm not a real boy" schtick was tired when Willie Tyler & Lester were doing it, for god's sake.
