If Scott can't figure out how to mute his phone he should at least change his text notification from the default so I stop checking my phone.

I thought it was phone notifications pushing to his desktop, a thing every Mac user I know has somehow been caught off guard by (Big fan of PFT deciding to start texting specifically to trigger the notifications)

Scott not knowing how his phone/computer works is the most 50 year old dad thing imaginable and I find it very charming

I had missed Bruba Go Do, and the Best Of had me cackling. Gil Ozeri's best work I reckon.

Busiest Man in the World is such a brilliant character and a consistently great performance. Something that jumped out at me hearing it in the Best Ofs was the way Gil says "Sometimes she says 'no.'" after the first time Bruba refuses a request. Like it's just an aside for the people in the room, but he delivers it with the same volume and cadence as everything else he's running down.

Honestly I thought maybe he hit the wrong soundboard button for “no” on Bruhba and just instantly went with it.

The back and forth with Bruba refusing, in that robotic voice, until finally saying “Bruba go do” was the icing on the cake. I just got back from grocery shopping, where I heard “The Look of Love” by ABC, having to hold back my laughter because nobody was going to get it Now I have “Poison Arrow” in my head

From an old CBB episode I discovered Jess McKenna, who has a musical improv podcast called Off Book with Zach Reino (who has also apparently been on a few episodes of CBB). Oh man, I don't know if improvisers rank degree of difficulty but coming up with a new hour long musical every week off the top of their heads seems up there. McKenna's voice is ideal to play ridiculous orphan children who tend to appear in musicals and on some CBB episodes. Also hey, so I though the full past episodes of CBB were only available on CBB World, but I can access every episode through Apple Podcasts, I just need to search the specific episode and follow the link on apple.

(looks as though he might've written the Mr Show theme, too. and a bunch of other poo poo.) I think he mostly scores things afterwards but James Bladon of Superego is also king poo poo at comedy music e: Superego has a couple different fake bands. Neko Case did a sketch on one season and is incredibly funny

Adjacent to Off Book (which also has a full show on Dropout doing this), there's an episode of Game Changer (also on Dropout) where they book a troupe that improvises a Shakespeare play, where each player gets points for each reference they can sneak it to various prompts. It's insane how well they pull it off. Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaR8rFsWoEo

Good first episode of the year. Glad the Oh No Era has been replaced by the Bitch Era. Ccs posted:From an old CBB episode I discovered Jess McKenna, who has a musical improv podcast called Off Book with Zach Reino (who has also apparently been on a few episodes of CBB). The first CBB episode of hers with Power Wheels Beth is one of my all-timer favorites. Zach Reino's first appearance as Dash Grabum where he's basically describing Pokemon lore to Jon Hamm is also up there. If you want to get into Off Book, I'd suggest one of their early episodes, the one with Flula Borg. That was a great combination.

It's insane how well they pull it off. It's kind of the same schtick as musical improv, which is the same schtick as all improv, really. It's just a very specific form and game. You have to know either topic well (musicals or Shakespeare) to know the very basic prototypes for things (in the case of musicals, for instance, patter songs, ballads, etc.) and then it's just practicing the form enough so that you're good at it. It's good stuff, I like it, and I certainly can't do any of them, but I wouldn't call them any more insane than any other good improviser's work. I do think that there's something about it that feels like it should be more difficult, but it's more like a magic trick - in the sense that a magic trick always seems more impressive until you learn the actual mechanics.

Yeah, I love Jess and Zack but to me musical improv shows its seems too quickly. The formula is just too repetitive, and after a handful of episodes I felt like I'd seen their entire bag of tricks. I wish there was a movie form podcast, which I feel is much more flexible. I know Betsy and Mano occasionally do it for horror movies on We Love Trash, but as much as I like them as individual performers I find that they lean too hard into the crazy too quickly together.

When he first started speaking with the Philippine accent I had to double check as my brain told me this was definitely Horatio Sanz, while also reminding me that it couldn't be him as it was just as certain he had been cancelled. I was barely awake and had just stepped out into the cold on my way to work, so I got through like a full two minutes of my brain ping-ponging back and forth between the two options like some kind of program glitching out before I caught myself and checked my phone.

Empty Sandwich posted:e: Superego has a couple different fake bands. Neko Case did a sketch on one season and is incredibly funny Did "Spirit" originate there as well? They played on a couple of Andy Daly's podcasts [their hit song All The Way Tonight (The Look of the Lion) ] I am also a big fan of the song from Drivin and Fuckin with Joe Bongo episode of Andy Daly's podcast, which is a parody of prog rock and has such a long name that I can't remember it.

Scott really leaning into not giving a poo poo about complaining about projects people are involved with to their face is great. As is the Paul (now joined by Lily) background chuckling, and their ability to jump in as the dumbest characters related to the beignin things the guests are talking about. Actually checking out the movie based on Mary Holland being in it.

The movie Jake was promoting was very "eh", never really delivering on the premise. You expect fun assassins, but the closest you get is "hey isn't it funny one is dressed up like Mario". Definitely feels like a movie shot in 17 days and where any big set pieces were cut for budgetary reasons. That all said, they cast the Santa Claus guy from "I Think You Should Leave" as someone in the movie a lot and he's so much fun.

Self Reliance spoilers: I enjoyed it enough as an easy watch, it really felt like it was missing one more twist at the end though. It was a weird choice to have the Wayne Brady guy in the last scene as well, it seems like his family are humouring him and still don't really believe it but like him being there kind of proves it was real?
