Oh wow that's awesome! Have there been any more attempts, or are Tig and Stephanie set on adoption? The documentary is very touching if people haven't seen it yet. Tig really went through the worst possible experiences a human can have and came out still able to make jokes about them.

Tig really went through the worst possible experiences a human can have and came out still able to make jokes about them. I'd be happy to relay any totally meaningless information about the time my wife and I spent with Tig and Stephanie but I really can't talk about details of their personal lives (other than what's in the movie). It was pretty surreal sitting in on a Professor Blastoff taping (you can hear my kid cry in the background of the yoga episode), but it was mega weird just talking about parenting and grabbing some stuff from Whole Foods. I volunteered us before we knew there was going to be a documentary, and it's not like I wish we were in the movie any more than we are, but I wish viewers could know that we were also pretty crushed that the implantation didn't take. Oh well.

Those sun kill moon arguments are among the dumbest things I've heard. He both says that the market will decide and people won't buy stuff if a person is truly hateful but it's also censoring the artist if you decide you're no longer a fan of them I'm also catching up with a few months of I4H, and that episode had me saying "C'mon, Matt" out loud several times. He's smart enough to know that "Equal Opportunity Offender" stuff is nonsense, and the whole "punching up/down" thing is completely tied to your identity in relation to the power of the group you're poking fun of. It's the same old story of the guy who's most upset about censorship being the one who actually wants to silence people.

Yeah I kinda stopped listening a while ago because they seemed to just keep bringing in the same people (Stephanie was in more than 3 I think) and pretty much only had comedian guests for every topic instead of people in other fields like they used to. Would definitely listen to a Kyle podcast, I really like his YT channel.

I'm doing the exact same thing and just got to the Case Closed on Sun Kil Moon myself. All the Case Closeds kind of take the momentum out of the episodes for me, even more than the musical guests do. You've got Andy Daly there! Why are we spending so much time on half-assed arguments from internet people about issues that are not going to be resolved in that dumb segment? It'd be different if they all were small dumb stuff about milk or whatever so Besser could play up his irritable grump, but you can tell he actually has strong feelings about artists being repressed or whatever.

I honestly don't mind when Besser has a legitimate bone to pick, but comedians can't stop whining whenever they're taken to task for lazy, hack jokes. He even contradicts himself when he says "the market will correct things" because that's EXACTLY what happened with Seinfeld—the out-of-touch jokes of a 60-year-old-multimillionaire don't fly with a group of kids who were in diapers when his TV series went off the air, so he's not playing those types of shows anymore. I also get the feeling that Mookie Blaiklock disagreed but was too afraid to be assertive with Matt.

Not because we were starstruck or anything, but because you couldn't ask for a more hilarious celebrity to spot. I made Tig belly laugh exactly once and got a "you still got it" exactly once (two separate occasions). Tig owns a baller t-shirt that says "Lars von Trier" but in the Van Halen logo. She and Stephanie are hilarious together in a way that would never work in any medium other than just being around them because they're the same type of dumb jokes everyone has with their partner, but they are both pros. Stephanie is crazy well-read and very genuinely sweet. Oh and I talked with David Huntsberger about Squarespace, and how much it sucks. That was cathartic as hell after hearing their ads on earwolf constantly.

Yeah, it's seriously no wonder Tig sums herself up with just the word "cool." She's still very human and relatable, but in a way that just makes her cooler. Why cookie Rocket posted:Great stuff Makes me even more wistful for the heyday of Professor Blastoff than their farewell did. I was on the waiting list to be a call-in guest for an episode when they decided to stop doing call-ins because they tended to be terrible, which was a good call on their part, but I still regret not being more of a pain in the rear end about it so I could at least say I did everything I could to get on. At least the second half of their final episode was one of the best episodes of the entire run (the first half was just depressing, though). Also, the part of the documentary where you tried to push the pull door was the first of many laugh-out-loud moments for me. It sort of broke the ice after reliving the trauma of being a Blastronaut in 2012 up to that point. soggybagel posted:The shirt is from a video store on the westside called Cinefile.

It sort of broke the ice after reliving the trauma of being a Blastronaut in 2012 up to that point. I honestly have no idea why that made the cut. They shot thousands of hours before we even met Tig, and presumably shot thousands more after. I vaguely remember hearing about a 3-hour version they were struggling to hack down, and they wasted precious seconds on THAT? I'm not embarrassed by it but just as a fan of movies and comedy it seems like there must have been something more worthy than me re-enacting that one Far Side cartoon. Back to the podcast though. I finally listened to the last episode and I really appreciate how real/raw it was. PB was very much a "warts and all" podcast, and hearing them talk frankly about their contractual obligations was kind of jarring and horrible, but I appreciate that there was no attempt to bullshit the audience about why it was ending and why it's been weaker for the last 12-18 months.

Last week's Lauren Lapkus with Matt Besser was the best episode IMO. I think it's the first one that's not supposed to be a talk show.

Yeah I turned it off after the first two minutes and came back to it a few days later; I'm glad I did. I'm still not a huge fan of the show and don't think the premise works nearly as well as it did with Andy Daly, though.

There are way more misses than hits, but I stay subscribed to it in my podcast app for the few really good episodes, like Aukerman's or PFT's. The Besser one was okay.

Back To 99 posted:Well, it's unfair to compare it to the best comedy podcast of all time. The idea for both is almost exactly the same, and honestly WSGLL is really boring most of the time, so  I was excited for it, and some of the recent episodes have been better (Besser, Santa) but I keep trying to pick it up and it just isn't clicking with me. I don't like most of Lauren's guest characters most of the time, Tracy Reardon is over-used and a lot of the hosts aren't the best at keeping things interesting.

I usually listen for the first 5-10 minutes, realize that the given characters aren't nearly funny/interesting enough to be stretched out for 45 minutes and just skip ahead to the Help Me Rhonda segment because those have been pretty consistently decent.

It's kind of the opposite for me, a lot of the time I think the premise is interesting once they start getting deeper into it then they stop and do the Traci Reardon segment which I've gotten pretty sick of at this point (People's twitter questions are dumb and Traci Reardon has been kinda run into the ground)

It's unfair to compare the 2 because, while the concept is similar, 1 is Lauren being thrown both a character and scenario by a buddy and the two try and hammer it together from there, the other is a large-dose of pre-written stuff in a well-established voice and then some killer improv by guys he's worked with for years.

I think the crazier the characters, the better that podcast works. It's the ones where they're doing (relatively) normal characters on a normal show that don't really work for me.
