O.K., I have given up on Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank because once again he has a guest I really want to hear from but can't because Ari is a loving ADD addled crackhead who won't stop interrupting with stupid pointless tangents and inquries that just ruin the flow of the interview. I've heard Yoshi Obayashi mentioned in passing on other podcasts like Roegan's so I was really stoked when I saw his name on Ari's latest episodes-but Christ Ari is such a spaz I had to shut it off.

Different strokes, I guess. I thought Jake Fogelnest was really funny, but then I really liked his podcast.

If anything was overly sharp it was how they described Dave Anthony on Who Charted!, the upside is that I can't imagine that mention not coming up hilariously on Walking the Room this week.

Happy for your success though - I didn't know the live shows were doing that well, which is cool to hear. Nowhere near NYC, but I'd go if one ever coincided with a visit.

This occasionally comes as a surprise to people who have been members of the forums for a while, but Something Awful has a front page. One of the defining features of the front page is an awful link of the day: an aggregation, if you will, of sites made by idiots.

I also don't know why they said "cesspool of forums and idiot aggregator." I find Debate and Discussion and Ask/Tell to be some of the most informative places on the internet. I'd hate to know what they think of reddit, or the AV Club comment boards.

That's how I took it, too. Something Awful is an "idiot aggregator" the same way Digg is a "news aggregator."

I can't take any reviewer who thinks Pete Holmes "ruins" episodes of DLM seriously, nor any publication that would endorse such a view.

I am really surprised at how bummed I am that TOFOP is over. I know they'd only released like two episodes in the past four months, but the official announcement really got to me. It sucks that there's nobody to be mad at or blame, too, I wish both of those dudes the best. I'm gonna miss those guys :(

No, that's Eric Wareheim, who I think can be pretty funny. Eric André has his own show on Adult Swim, which I've never seen.

No. Thats Eric Wareheim. However it appears that Tim & Eric produce the Eric André show.

I didn't know he's also the guy who plays the barrista in Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23. Weird... I've only heard him on one podcast and he was a douche.

Pete brought up the fact that he and Glazer were both up for the E-Trade baby part and Glazer got super butthurt and dickish about it.

Then Eric Andre interrupted Brett Gelman during a story and they got into it. Super awkward show all around, and I usually adore the live shows.

In other comedy folks not getting along news, there appears to be a brouhaha going on Twitter between Nick Kroll and Ken Marino. Apparently Ken punched Nick on the set of The League? I'm excited for this to spill over into podcasts.

I thought Glaser was reasonable; I wouldn't characterize his reaction of "why would you bring that up, on stage" as "super butthurt1" at all. There really wasn't anywhere he could go with that whole business without being at least a little awkward and I do think it was a misstep by Pete to go with that topic.

Yes, but it's better if the guest ("You") Makes It Weird on their own terms instead of Pete launching straight into a subject that makes them uncomfortable. The purpose is to explore and understand, not (necessarily) achieve brutal levels of awkwardness.

The twitter stuff is really weird, Scheer seemed to at least either be in on it or trying to smooth it over, then Michael Ian Black got in on it. It's either one of the larger reaching bits I've seen or some really weird and awkward drama.

Yeah haha just listened to it and woof. Though I think Jon Glaser made it weirder than it needed to be. Though he does valiantly try to resuscitate the show right after the awkwardness.

Everyone should watch the Eric Andre show. It is loving hysterical. I also don't get how he was terrible on Who charted. He was fine.

Seriously though Eric Andre show is great, and Hanibal Burres is his sidekick.

I don't really care what he did on some dumb podcast, The Eric Andre Show is goddamn hilarious. Hannibal Burress is the best sidekick.

The only Adult Swim shows I've ever liked are The Eric Andre Show and Eagleheart.

"Hey remember that job I got over you that would have paid you tens of thousands of dollars a year for about 8 hours work every six months and keep you from having to do poo poo gigs in Florida or Ohio?" isn't weird or awkward, that's just a straight up rear end in a top hat thing to bring up.
