He seems to have a running gag about how much he loves pussy. He has been retweeting dozens and dozens of tweets that are all variations of "Man, @toddglass sure does love pussy", "Hey, @toddglass, leave some pussy for the rest of us", etc.

Did Todd Glass figure out how to use Twitter? Because I'm delighted by the idea that he still uses an assistant and is yelling at them "GO FIND ALL THE TWEETS ABOUT ME LOVING PUSSY AND RETWEET THEM."

I agree. I really like YMIW but I never listen to episodes back to back. That's just Petey overkill. It doesn't help when the episodes are over 2 hours in length.

I binge listened to a bunch of YMIW after I saw ol' petey pants do standup but now I can barely listen to the show. Still like the live ones but the interviews all feel very samey. I'm at the point where I pick and choose based on the guest and even then I might skip it because he makes every episode as long as a loving LOTR movie lately

You should feel ashamed.
Has anyone been listening to Put Your Hands Together? It's the stand up show that replaced Comedy Bang Bang at UCB. It's a lot different from most podcasts in that it's just the stand up sets from the show with a few interview segments. It's similar to all the half hour comedy shows with a bunch of comics.

Now everyone can experience Tuesday night at the UCB by listening to Doug Loves Movies and then Put Your Hands Together. I recommend it.

Sorry I irritated you then. I was just trying to make a dumb post about my tenuous similarities to a podcast host in the style I think he'd write if he were a poster here. I don't think I'm funny and I definitely don't think there's anything interesting about me, let alone fascinating.

Pete Holmes is a fantastic stand-up and seems a like a genuinely nice dude. But he also seems like the most insufferable person ever and I would caution you from comparing yourself to him. I subscribe to YMIW but in 2012 it dropped from essential listening because WHO HAS THE TIME to listen 150 minute-long podcasts about THE SAME TOPICS every time. I saw one was uploaded in January that broke 3 hours. I'm sure there were some awesome conversations about how Pete lost his religion for the umpteenth time or how There Will Be Blood was a good movie.

I did listen to the latest YMIW which was funny. But the best part was hearing both Kumail and Emily loudly sigh when Pete said they should stop talking about a subject because it was "too showbizzy." Chelsea posted on Instagram pictures of him wearing sunglasses inside a restaurant at Sundance and I was like "yeah that makes sense"

Whatever you think of Pete Holmes's personality (personally I love it on DLM, tolerate it on YMIW) his standup is loving hilarious. I was at the taping for his special in Austin and I nearly pissed myself. Looking forward to whenever it is released on Comedy Central so I can watch it again.

Agreed. I saw him during JFL42 (for the first time) and thought he was so funny that I went and saw him again later in the week.

I'm listening to the YMIW with Todd Glass and it's not a bad one but it's definitely reminding me why I don't listen to the show much anymore. They're covering topics I've heard Pete cover a bunch of times and I'm only 60 minutes into a 150 minute show.

http://www.backstage.com/news/podcasters-prepare-war-against-podcast-patent-owner-personal-audio/

This is really hosed up. I remember listening to a This American Life episode about patent trolls a while ago. Basically they get a patent on something incredibly vague, because a technology is so new that the patent office doesn't ask the right clarifying questions, and then sue anyone who does anything remotely similar to the patent. A "system for disseminating media content representing episodes in a serialized sequence" is barely a sentence, much less something that should have a patent.

I know Ullrich posts here (though maybe only reads the Earwolf thread?) but I am wondering how much people are willing to discuss this.

A question only podcast nerds would come up with: Which hosts are the pitchmen during commercials? If I'm driving or doing the dishes, I won't fast-forward commercials.

I give the title of best pitchmen to the Sklars. I feel like they were 1920s boardwalk salesmen in red and white striped suits in another life. Worst is Kulap whenever she does a "voice." Her Jackee sounds like someone drowning, not a sassy black woman.

And, have any of you ever used Legal Zoom or Stamps.com?

Kulap's just doing random annoying baby voices at this point, but she revealed a couple of weeks ago that she had been taking animation voice-over classes. I'm guessing she was practicing?

I think that just means that they got it to cover something in 2012 that it didn't in 1996. Patents aren't like copyright, you can't just extend them forever.

The patent office has no idea what it's doing with technology, so when someone invents the internet and someone else invents the mouse, you can file a form that says, "when you click on something on a website, something happens," and they'll agree that that's an innovative, non-obvious idea.

The patent troll thing doesn't sound like it has legs at first, but you have to keep in mind these guys won a settlement against Apple involving a playlist patent not that long ago: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-08/apple-told-to-pay-8-million-in-patent-trial-over-ipod-playlists.html

It will be interesting to see how far this goes. I'd be surprised if it has much impact overall, it's pretty obvious they're just after money so I'd assume they'd quit after they hit a couple of the big podcasts. Adam Carolla's and HowStuffWorks are two of the current targets. Hopefully their lawyers will put up enough of a fight to stop the whole thing in its tracks, but patent litigation seems like a really byzantine system so who knows what will happen.

I'm a fan of Scott Aukerman's lately. They're so emphatic you feel compelled to do whatever he tells you! And they build to a real sense of urgency. Listen, YOU NEED TO VISIT STAMPS DOT COM WHERE YOU CAN PRINT POSTAGE USING YOUR OWN COMPUTER!

Howard Kremer's done some really bizarre ones that make Kulap laugh, which is contagious. The most recent I've heard was from Who Charted a few weeks ago, for no discernible reason he was doing some kind of old Jewish guy or something and it was inexplicably funny.

Adam Carolla's feel really smooth, he's done so much radio that he's got the patter down really well and he puts his own stink on them to make it slightly more entertaining. His are also the easiest for me to zone out if I'm not able to fast forward.
