I would have listened to every second of that. Pat Francis couldn't make it to the first episode, though, so Schmidt went solo, and the rest is history. The "40-Year Old Boy" podcast as it is now, with his producer Lily constantly laughing off-mike? I listen every now and then, but I'm not a fan.

I just listened to episodes 1-2 again -- Pat was supposed to be a guest on ep. 2, but his wife was sick and he couldn't make it (no mention of him not being there on ep. 1). Afterwards he (edit: or another guest) came in every 4 episodes. Scylla fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Jul 20, 2015 |

The show Jimmy's hosting on Science just posted a preview of its first episode, it's pretty fun but you definitely see pretty quickly why he keeps saying it's not a Jimmy Pardo comedy showcase. http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/race-to-escape/race-to-escape-video/the-explorer-s-study/

I think it was last season, but there was a guest from ireland who said he had a memoir about working at Cnet during the dotcom boom. Do you guys remember who it was and the name of the book?

His name is John Butler. He's an Irish writer/filmmaker. Don't know anything about the book but I'm sure it's easy to find now you have the name.

Do any of you true fans have an explanation as to why Jimmy said he'd fight Ben Folds this last ep?

I haven't listened to the ep yet so I don't know if there's more context, but I know Jimmy has mentioned not liking that quasi-novelty style of music that artists like Ben Folds and They Might Be Giants do sometimes. It's probably just that.

He's also most likely got brain damage from his accident he had a while back, I'd think that's a large part of why he sounds a lot older.

I had no idea so I had to look it up. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/08/larry-miller-brain-injury-fall_n_2431327.html Jimmy isn't kidding when he says he belongs on comedian Rushmore. Larry Miller was one of the best.

Even the kindest comment on Earwolf was one calling the ep a C+. Main complaint is that Larry Miller sounds like the world's oldest man, even if there is a sympathetic reason for why, and that his stories are interesting, but not actually funny. I wonder if Larry Miller was one of the "Big Three" gets Jimmy refused to name last episode.

I mean clearly he couldn't get him while he was convalescing or whatever but he said he'd been trying for years. And yeah the fall really took him back a few steps, he used to be a lot quicker.

I didn't know who Larry Miller was but his seeming like an old man didn't bother me. I just felt like I was listening to Jimmy having a good time with a good-natured older comedy pro with a lot of insight and a peaceful charm, but to each their own.

I have to assume it's Jimmy Dore right? And it's also very likely that Pardo is reading too much into it

But it just seems like his brain is fried from his accident. Really sad. Hes still coherent and everything, but that spark that was there just a few years ago seemed totally gone.
