There's one in GBS that was stickied for a while. Last post was a week ago so it's not a hive of activity.

Also I forgot to mention that I got some cool pictures of the signatures on the tables and the earwolf guestbook, including a portrait of Paul F Tompkins by Zach Galifinakis. My phone took a poo poo on the flight home so its in for repairs but I can post them up if anyone gives a poo poo.

I just have trouble keeping up with all the podcasts I listen to as it is; it's tough for me to start a new one.

escape artist posted:We definitely want to see your swag! I'm really enjoying it, with a few caveats. It takes 'til episode 3 before the narrator really hits his stride with his character, and around episode 5 or 6, they start thinking "if one thing is funny, then a LIST of things must be hilarious!  ", but they find their way out of it almost as quickly.The conceit behind the pair of Episode 19s is fun, too.

Beerdeer posted:Is Topics with Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black any good? I tend to be wary of Sho but I love Black. I've listened to the first 2 eps and I'm not crazy about it so far. I guess the premise is they choose a topic, speak about it with faux sincerity and make the most obvious/trite observations they can think of without breaking their earnest characters. It just seems kinda thin and, for me, there haven't been a lot of laughs. I'm a fan of both Michaels so I'll give it another couple of episodes.

The Dead Authors Podcast episode on Ayn Rand, played by former millionaire John Hodgman, is up. In this episode, it is revealed that Rand doesn't understand how interviews work. I don't want to ruin the hype, but this episode is boring. Basically, the bizarre things (M.A.S.H hate, obsession on trains) didn't go as far as I expected of Hodgman from his books or Daily Show appearances. toanoradian fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Jun 26, 2013 |

If anything it made me really want more podcasts with Tompkins and Hodgeman together, they riffed off each other fairly well. Also they happen to own the two best moustaches in comedy.

Finally getting around to posting my photos from Earwolf, sorry for the multi-day cocktease: One of two recording tables. This one had a guest book on it. Let's look inside...  ...after a brief stop at what I believe to be Adominian hieroglyphics.  An outline for Don Dimello's Disney's Wizard of Oz.  Another thing by Andy Daly. Not going to pretend I can decode this one. If Cactus Tony ever was a thing on the show I've long since forgotten it.  A portrait of Jason Mantzoukas by Amy Pohler.  A portrait of Paul F. Tompkins by Zachariah Galafiniah. There was other stuff but I didn't take pictures of it because it wasn't that funny. There's also a few pictures of me chatting with Professor Blastoff people but I'm ugly and the pictures are blurry, so nope. Last thing: It felt REALLY good to have a bitch session about how much Squarespace sucks with one of the people that convinced me to try it.

On Hodgman talk, check out his recent interview on Pete Holmes' show. It's really good. I found out that Hodgman's character is a slightly exaggerated and less funny version of his real personality.

Dang, thanks for posting those. Could probably put that in the earwolf thread too. Might be some people who check that one and not this one for some reason. Wish I could make out what Andy Daly wrote there.Why cookie Rocket posted:If Cactus Tony ever was a thing on the show I've long since forgotten it. I think it was the 200th episode.

Julie Klausner was in Toronto tonight, doing a Pride-related comedy show, and it was hilarious. I got to meet her afterward and she was the nicest person. I don't know how many people here listen to HWYW, but the host of the comedy show basically did a How Was Your How Was Your Week with her, where they talked about previous episodes and played some games and such.

Listening to The Death Author's Podcast with Ayn Rand... I think Ayn Rand should go on the road with Werner Herzog, they have a lot in common and would make a great couple.

As far as reasons for putting the podcast up late, Dave from Stop Podcasting Yourself has a pretty good one this week.quote:At around 11:15pm on July 4th, I was leaving a comedy show with about 50 other people. A man ran into the crowd with something concealed under his shirt. He then walked up to me and my friend and said, “Hey, how’s it going?" He pulled out a handgun, lifted it up to my head, and fired point blank.

I did find it odd when they missed their first week in something like 3 years, but what the gently caress I never would've expected that. I'm so glad he's okay.

It was pretty surreal listening to this because I was at the show where this happened. I was walking to my car and heard 3 bangs but just assumed they were from off in the distance somewhere. I read the news report when I got home and heard that the guy shot twice at people outside the show and then shot himself. I had no idea that there was a gun to Dave's head and he was an inch away from being killed.

I listen to indie wrestler Colt Cabana's podcast (the Art of Wrestling, it's like WTF but for independent wrestlers... anyway) and he was at the show with them. He told his account of the events and it sounds pretty insane.

The best bart was- Dave: He raised the gun to my head and I flinched as he fired. Graham: Then he fired twice for flinching.
