those are the guys who got really mad at HH for making fun of their friend who writes thousands of songs about poop

yeah that's him, and Matt Farley is a cool dude with an immense backlog of great music

he provided a vast array of songs suitable for literally every occasion and earlier bone zone episodes used him well.

Sean read the first one in a disgusted, "This is not a bit, this is literally how desperate our show is for advertisers" way. Apparently the guy who wrote "I Pee When I Poop (But Not the Other Way Around)" didn't see the humor in that.

Thats the beauty of the HH ad reads. They really engage and spend time and craft something that hooks their listener while also letting those listeners know that they hate your product.

Did anybody else make jump from the Hello from the Magic Tavern CBB ep to the actual HftMT podcast?

I did, and it's really grown on me. I love how the show turns into a very CBB-like constant making GBS threads on the host by the other guests, but with wizards.

I listened to Hello till it moved to earwolf, If you start from the beginning it wears a little thin, especially Chunt.
But it was Magic for a very long time!

Yeah, I got about 20 episodes in before it started really grating on me, but had a good time up until then. Chunt and Usidore can both get really obnoxious at times, and their bits are so, so repetitive. The show also cares waay too much about its own mythology and storyline as it goes. It works much better when they focus on interviewing the various characters and getting into the makeup of its world rather than delving into the main cast's backstories or trying to set up anything serialized.

I'll still pop in for a listen occasionally, but I had my app start each episode at 3 minutes so I can skip Usidore's name bit, which continues to not be funny week-to-week.

e: Listened to their first Offices & Bosses episode on Howl on a lark. Was pretty fun.

I'm 38 episodes in, and I'm still loving it, including Usidore's ridiculously long name. I think I just really like making fun of fantasy tropes with weird improv.

Thanks to the CBB spot, this is now one of my favorite shows. The Usidore song was one of my favorite and most unexpected moments in podcasts.

The original earwolf advertisements for this podcast made me think it sounded super dumb and I had no interest in it

I ended up trying to listen to it anyway out of boredom, but it felt like those early episodes were being carried almost entirely by Matt Young's energy

But then something clicked when I got to the Boy's Night episode and there was good run without too much Yes And Worldbuilding ("Oh Chuntttttt offhandedly said that the guest's hat and therefore all hats are actually forged from dead beetles so now we need to make callbacks to beetle hats in every episode forever because it's established mythos). Im only up to the One Year episode and there have been some hilarious ones, and for the dull ones at least they're short enough that I can zone out and move onto the next one pretty easily.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Episode 59, Dr. Ward, is a must-listen. If you're skipping around Hello From The Magic Tavern episodes, don't miss that one.

Boy's Night was when I realized that I just liked the hosts hanging out with each other. It's a dynamic that really grew on me in the first dozen or so episodes.

For me, Scheer is just always a delight throughout. He jumps on threads with such glee and enthusiasm — it really sells it for me.

Scheer is always good, but what I meant was that he wasn't clicking with the other guests till the very end which is probably more them than him.

He is running circles around Rachel Bloom with the same type of character, god drat. Throwing in random deep cut star trek references and yes-and'ing every premise like it was the truth.

Edit: this has gone off the rails and it is great

I don't know what it is about Ming, I may just be super racist or something, but I enjoy him and I'm not completely sure why. I think Jeremy Rowley just has a nice sing song-y way of doing his voice.

Rachel Bloom was a pretty poo poo character though.

Ming is great. I like a low-key character that forces Scott to be more involved, especially when the character pushes back and puts Scott on the defensive

Rachel committing to a British voice from the jump was probably regrettable, but it led to good stuff with Atamanuik's character

Scott should have a sign he can point to like "No Stairway To Heaven" in Wayne's World, but reading "No celebrity guests in character."

Ming is a weird character because there's nothing stereotypical about him besides his accent, kind of, but then why do the accent in the first place? Anyway I like him.
