The Ape of Naples posted:I really want a series of side podcasts. Nothing too involved just one and done episodes of Talkin' 'Tang, Music Theater with Gino and ALW, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Maybe not. It would be awesome if b-b-b-bonus episodes took the form of the side podcasts. That'd feel really fresh, and wouldn't have to become a "thing" like UTU22M - which is amazing, but clearly ran Scott ragged. Or that has the potential of blowing up into guests bringing up side podcast ideas constantly. Though I guess most of the time bonus eps are just emergency "we're being paid to help someone promote a movie coming out this Friday" kind of thing these days.

I think the thing with Jason being on, and always invariably being the "main" guest, is that they enter the character segment already having this huge callback feedback loop that basically drowns out the character and sort of warps the initial premise in a weird way. That, and both of their weird obsession with character detail means we get a 5 minute long breakdown of the intricacies of selling sunglasses made to look like year numbers. Jason basically addresses that it's become boring after a point, but Scott just needs to know these things for some reason. I like the idea of Scott and Jason basically having their own UTU2TM style show where they ostensibly talk about a specific subject, but basically just bullshit about nothing for two hours.

Part of the reason things get crazy (for right or wrong) is the game they play with Daly. They just fire back whatever they can to try to get him off track. manyak posted:I think Hot Dog is cool I do too. His Podcast Pilot was great.

Scott talked about this on a best of - Jason really likes attacking/provoking Andy Daly's characters, seizing on the more sinister details and pushing them to be crazier until they turn out to be suicidal murderers, Scott says he's just going along with it

It's funny the first couple of times but then you've got like 6 characters that all worship satan/are murderers for some reason I love Andy Daly but it'd be nice if they could stop pushing him in that direction every time

Yeah, I don't think any of Daly's characters really started out the way they are, but almost literally all of them were pushed into this weird satanic storyline by Jason. I kinda hope Daly pulls a PFT and basically retires that line of characters, as much as I love all of them, or just sort of erases the apparent canon of the cult somehow.

I would also accept Daly just flouting improv rules and shutting down attempts at that direction in the future. "No, But" anything related to murder cults.

I guess i just stop paying attention by the end most of the time, since i mostly just like Dalys characters because of their premises (a high school teacher who has bongos, a water skiing hot dog) and the first like 20 minutes of improv

I like Manzoukas in general but Daly is so good at teasing out details himself, he really doesn't need someone else to force him in that direction.

The best part of the ADPPP is that he was the one that was in control of his characters. Having to sort of bend to the whims of the host, and having that host and his cohost trying to steer you in a direction you may not have intended, really stifles a character sometimes. Even PFT has pulled out a "No, but" before, I think Daly should use it a bit more readily. Also, having someone improv a bongo song or a limerick when they're a bongo player or limerick writer is one thing. Having someone admit they're part of a satanic cult run by Cactus Tony or whatever, and basically forcing all of the characters into an over-arching canon is not something one would necessarily be expected to do. It was funny for awhile, but I think it need to end. Also, I haven't finished this episode yet because I ran out of time on my lunch, but Scott and Jason were already taking over the segment pretty much completely before he even got to the part about the sunglasses. Just let the guy do his thing.

The only thing anyone needs to bring up when Andy Daly is guesting is international waters. Let him do the rest himself. Him getting a giggle whenever that subject is brought up is always wonderful. I'm also having a brain freeze with regards to the hot dog ADPPP episode, so I'm going to have to look that up. I need to relisten to it soon anyway. It's a ****** podcast, if that didn't break the reviewing guidelines.

Weingert on #366 did this masterfully. "No, I misspoke. " "You're getting a bit silly." Then it turns out his name is Frank Frank and his mother is Lisa Frank.

That ep was really funny for Scott trying to derail nonstop and Joe hanging on and shutting him down to get to his character - he's the son of Lisa Frank - and Scott doesn't know who Lisa Frank is.

He did do that this time, they kept leading him down the suicide path and he kept "No But"-ing them. I love Andy Daly and I love where Jason leads his characters, it's always funny to me. I'm sure it will get boring at some point, but so far Andy is still one of my favorite guests, in large part because of the crazy satanist/murder/suicide stuff.

The more I think about it the more I enjoy the concept of Scott and Jason essentially bullying Daly's character's backstory. No knock on Andy but if he didn't really want to go down certain paths he could try to move it in another direction.

Been listening to a lot of clips lately, and I'm ready to make the plunge with this podcast. Sadly, I don't have hundreds of hours to plow through the show so I'm wondering where I should start. Are there quintessential episodes that I need to listen to or should I just go back a number or episodes or what? Edit: I did read the OP, but from reading the last ten pages or so I feel like missing a ton of references that sound very awesome. Gejimayu fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Feb 10, 2016 |

Get Overcast or another podcast app then crank that poo poo to 1.75x, and pick a few episodes based on how you feel about those particular comedians. The insider stuff is more fun than distracting, and you won't be over your head jumping in at episode 3xx. Like anything else ever published there are some purists that won't accept any change but that's rare enough.

Every year they do a rundown of the best episodes, and the clips they use are long enough to get a sense of the episode. They're probably a sweet way to get into the show. You could even just use the lists and listen to those episodes in their entirety. Also look up the CBB wikia, it's pretty useful. If you find yourself drawn to certain characters, a lot of them have storylines of sort so you can listen to those episodes (ie every Marissa Wompler episode, who is always gold). It might be overwhelming enough already, but I'd also recommend listening to The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Program (I think I've got that in the right order, it's on Earwolf too, so easy to find) as 1. It's only like 8 episodes long, 2. Every episode is amazing and 3. The characters are the ones he's used on CBB but the shows are perfect introductions to them. About a year or two ago my friend actually did go back to the beginning and listened to every single episode. I still don't know how he did it, but that's commitment.

I don't think you need to worry about continuity. There's a lot of it, but it's always introduced by Scott because he's reminding everyone else in the room, as nobody else cares.Besson posted:End of year podcasts are the ones to start with Despite Paul repeatedly ridiculing you or doubting your existence.
