What a couple of insufferable bores on Judge John Hodgman today

I finally got through my backlog and couldn't get more than a few minutes in, they were so boring and annoying. When I read this post I though "No, they've said that before and it's been fine" but this episode was really awful.

I think it would work alot better if there was a catch-all Earwolf podcast thread instead of the separate ones, because the only gets alot of traffic is the CBB one and there is alot of talking about the other podcasts in there anyway.

I think Mental Illness Happy Hour is crazy subjective for which are the best. That said my personal favorites:

1. Kulap. Yes everyones favorite cohost of Who Charted? has a really hosed up past. I came out a bigger fan of her personally than I was going in.

2. Jesse & Lee Thorne. Yep is the infamous Jesse Thorne's Dad. Veitnam vet with PTSD in spades.

3. Greg Cheever. Holy loving poo poo that's about it.

4. Ex-con Murph. Another not famous guy that just happens to be a friend of Pauls with loving amazing stories.

I hate saying it but Marc Marons episode sucks pretty hard and it kind of bums me out seeing his is the most downloaded on iTunes. There seem to be more than a few goons listening to this show and being the fan that I am of it I may just make up an OP for it soon.

Alright, which one of you spergtards e-mailed the Flophouse guys about "champing at the bit" vs. "chomping at the bit"?

Do you also go around correcting people on how it's "Frankenstein's monster" and not "Frankenstein"?

The Frankenstein issue is much more pressing than the champing one though. Dr. Frankenstein is the villain of the story, the creature is much more of a tragic figure. It's still a triviality to most people, but it at least has some arguable impact vs altering one letter in a word that has no impact on the meaning of the phrase.

If anyone hasn't checked out the Dead Author's Podcast yet, the new episode just dropped, and so far seems like a great introductory episode. It has Matt Gourley from Superego playing Carl Sagan.

A decent segment of Huell's version. It takes awhile to get going, and Carolla is hit or miss, but around 3:30 it starts to get great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgO-f3q_MxQ&feature=related

Also, if what James Adomian and Seth Romatelli have said is true, Huell is as gay as Todd Glass.

Have you heard him in anything else? Like maybe a Comedy Bang Bang episode? If you haven't, you should listen to pretty much any CBB episode with him in it, and then you'll know.

If you have, I don't know what to tell you because PFT is hilarious.

He's quick witted, laughs easily, and completely buys in to the premise of whatever show he's on. He's one of the best free form improvisers on the podcast circuit.

I cannot even fathom that someone could exist that enjoys comedy podcasts like comedy bang bang while simultaneously not liking Paul F Tompkins. Maybe if that person only enjoyed shock jock radio type humor or something.

Well, there are clips from his live shows, phone calls with his comedian (comedienne? is that still a thing?) friend Jen Kirkman, and The Great Undiscovered Project in every episode, so maybe you just didn't listen to that one epsiode for long enough?

Someone put it well earlier in this thread or in another: the podcast is perfect to listen to with a beer on a rainy day. It's funny and relaxing. It's weird that you'd like him on other podcasts and not by himself. Do you like his standup?

Yeah, PAUL F. TOMPKINS, who's been on every podcast ever, just couldn't find someone to do it with. It wasn't a decision he made or anything, he just does it solo out of necessity.
