It's not hard to see how someone could be drawn into that if they are immersed in it. I just don't see the appeal of adults painting their faces and showering themselves with soda and listening to objectively bad music. With Phish, at least, there's some good music and better drugs. I try not to be horribly judgmental but it's just a phenomenon that I am fascinated and appalled by.

As an honest Phish fan and an ICP sympathizer, the idea that either has "better music" or "better drugs" is a myth worth abandoning. It's all good. Embrace the anarchy, with yo busted rear end. That said, I totally got on to the live call-in recording of Analyze Phish. It remains to be seen if I'll make the final edit, but I got to listen to about forty minutes of it on the phone. It's gonna be a weird episode.

Beneath the greasepaint and theatrics is a message that speaks to people trying to eke out an existence in dilapidated Rust Belt towns, aware enough to realize they're in a pretty miserable poverty-stricken existence but not exactly in a position to lift themselves out of the mire. Also, sounds like somebody hasn't heard about the Drug Bridge at the Gathering.

New Improv4Humans with Tim Meadows, Neil Campbell and Lauren Lapkus! Did anyone get out to the Del Close Marathon? I heard Besser did a show with Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh and Ian Roberts, which would've been pretty cool to see live. I hope they record an I4H episode someday.

Louis did the ASSSSCAT monologue at the Del Close marathon, which is pretty awesome. And I4H with that cast is obviously great, Lapkus MVP as always - "Gwinch, get outta heaw!" Besser's impression in the last sketch also killing me.

Found this post from a few weeks ago on the Earwolf forum about the VPN schedule:quote:Here's the current schedule. So far no HDTGM on the docket, but we still have some empty dates we are hoping to fill! Fingers crossed! Looks like there might not be one tonight? I checked the Twitter accounts of a bunch of Earwolf people and no one's said anything about a live show tonight.

Scott's probably going to be busy with the tv show and/or promoting the tv show. I really hope he goes in The Todd Glass Show. He's never been on it, and Todd Glass hasn't been on CBB in quite a while.

Has anyone listened to the Who Charted with the A Band Called Death producers? I just watched the documentary and it's a neat story but I'm almost afraid that the podcast will just be a kind of self masturbatory thing about how great the band and the movie is and so on, some of the documentary almost feels that way (you also get odd things like Frodo and Kid Rock talking in the documentary for whatever reason talking about how great the band is) with the way some of the interviews are cut.

The best thing about Nerd Poker is Blaine's sponsorship messages. And as a huge fan of Sir Richard and all things Glenishmore, I don't say that lightly. It's kind of funny that on "the Brian Posehn and Friends" show, Posehn is the least interesting and amusing one there. He's not annoying or anything, he just always sort of takes a back seat to the other players. I find Improv4Humans to be hit or miss. One thing that always gets it turned off immediately is when Besser starts doing a Nazi imitation. It seems like such a crutch and so antiquated, and just never amusing. I kind of think it's lost on people under 50 years old that didn't grow up with Hogan's Heroes and Laugh-in.

Maybe it's a pet peeve you notice particularly or I have lovely memory but I can't recall any specific Nazi sketches that stand out as ofte, except for the episode which (to be fair, pretty relevant to I4H) where Matts..uncle? father? ..had that Nazi tea kettle that turned out to be real and not ironic.

Matt does do a harsh German accent pretty frequently when he is portraying an authority figure. I don't always think of it as a Nazi voice but I could see how someone gets there.

He did the Nazi thing in the most recent I4H bonus ep, but overall I don't think he does it all that often really. It's bizarre to me hearing someone say I4H is hit or miss though. I think it's maybe the most consistently funny podcast I listen to. I can't think of any episodes off hand that I really disliked

I think it's just one of Besser's go-to voices. I distinctly remember him using It on UCB, Crossballs, and I want to say the ASSSSCAT DVD.

Help Im Alive posted:. A thousand times this. Of all the podcasts I've listened to on Earwolf I4H is by far the most consistent in the quality of its hilariousness. Granted, I've still not listened to The Reality Show Show yet so maybe that eclipses it since you guys are all madly in love with it. Also, speaking of ASSCAT, here's a Behind the Scenes video that was put up a few days ago. It's amazing how many comedians I recognize in that little back room at UCB, way more than any British comedians (I'm from and live in the UK). The quality of comedy coming out of America for the past few years is just staggering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rl7fRP_q7k

And agreed on the consistency on I4H, very slightly shaky start but last year or so has been exceptional. Besser should do another Best Of soon though, they're great for getting for other people into it.

Yes, I4H has been on a roll for the past like 6 months or so. It's definitely the podcast I look forward to most during the week. Also, they were talking about the Monkees movie 'Head' on the most recent episode, and I just finished watching it. Holy poo poo, that movie was amazing. It's almost proto-Tim and Eric at times, and it had me laughing out loud for a good portion. Micky Dolenz is an animal.

The I4H episode with Todd Glass kinda sucked, but otherwise yeah it's been consistently good for a while now. I don't think any of them really match how much I enjoy a really good CBB episode (the 4th anniversary for instance) but there's still be some really good episodes of I4H. Nearly every episode has one of those guests where I think "Oh poo poo [person] is on, he/she is fuckin hilarious I gotta listen to this immediately."escape artist posted:drat, the Analyze Phish episode isn't up yet. They recorded it a week ago! I wonder if they release these a year from the recording date, too... I would assume it'll be on next week. Last year when the tv show started, the week before there were a ton of CBB themed Earwolf shows, like with Scott or Reggie or one of the writers as the guest. So I'm guessing they'll do that again. I hope Scott Aukerman is on I4H. He's never been on, has he? I can't remember. Conduit for Sale! fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Jul 7, 2013 |
