I really want to see this clip of Paul F. Tompkins dubbed over the actual Cake Boss, but Hulu region-block has me defeated.

Oh, man, I'm not sure how I passed over this yesterday. I love his Cake Boss, and this is a pretty great clip.

Man, if one of you American Hulu folk could lazydub the video playing with just a cellphone videoing your monitor, that'd be great for us Tompkinites outside Hulu range - unless there's an easier way.

This is old news, but Redban debating Stitcher with Bill Burr during Bill's most recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast (this was a while ago) was the most infuriating thing I've ever heard.

Also seconding the Earwolf Live app is great, especially if you don't live near a major city and don't want to hop between tons of comedian websites to figure out if they're coming near you.

I figured it'd be insta-delete because the opening dialogue wants a zip code and doesn't seem very Canadian-friendly, but a few awkward presses later I found out Greg Proops was coming to my podunk burg of Ottawa, Canada, so thumbs up!

edit: I see it's for an overpriced production of Whose Line Is It Anyways, but it's actually more impressive that it picked him out of an ensemble show!

The Nick Kroll / Paul Scheer episode (71 or 72?) with the Earwolf station identifier origin was what made me *get* CDR, whereas I didn't really understand or enjoy the improv character work before that.

Also the Paul F. Tompkins + Rob Corddry + Lake Bell episode.

I dig the Nerdist. I think it's been getting a bit better over the last month or so. As for Mira, I think most people find him to be the pathetic punching bag. I like him though, he's sort of adorable.

I lost all empathy for him when they did that Hostful episode called "Typical Internet" and tried to prop up his feelings after he read the A/V Club Podmass comments from that week. Also drove me off the Hostful episodes. I'm not one of those mean internet posters, but jesus, what a suck.

I think it had to do with them plugging a paid Bumbershoot podcast on a free Bumbershoot podcast? Either way, DLM has its own pay episodes, but the free Bumbshoot episodes were a sweet bonus for fans.

Earwolf is also firmly anti-Stitcher.

Does Joe Rogan get a better deal out of Stitcher, maybe, or is it all exposure? Maron has plugged Stitcher, too.

I think the confusion is that Chris and everyone else expected the downloads to go directly to their servers so that they could see the numbers the same way.

I think Chris' problem and Scott's problem was that even if they could piece together Stitcher and iTunes download stats, the iTunes ranking algorithm (which they both place a lot of value on) only cares about iTunes downloads, so shifting the point at which the show is spread hurts their iTunes ranking. Not sure if that's valid, but such was my understanding.

Regardless of Zak and Miri, this is an interesting idea, and a great way to double-dip box office out of fanboys. Wonder if there's some kind of weird Rifftrax studio cross-promo niche here.

The newest "How Did This Get Made?" is by far the best one yet. Not only is Patton Oswalt in the house, but they have the director of Punisher: War Zone there to talk about it. Completely different from the typical "That literally made NO SENSE!" type episodes.

Just wanted to echo this recommendation - best episode yet, even for the many detractors, although I did like the Smurfs episode vis-a-vis PFT.

Does anyone listen to Totally Laime? I never followed the Earwolf Challenge or anything but I saw Totally Laime on the Earwolf site a couple of days ago and it's actually pretty neat.

This is probably superficial of me, but the host's voice is a little nasal or something and it's hard to listen to, although I'll give it a go for good guests. I also will never hear "Sidekick Andy" as anything except "Psychic Andy" no matter how many times I hear it.

I bought it but haven't heard it yet. Did see him perform three times in three different contexts during the week of Just For Laughs (standup show in Ottawa, something called CBC's The Debaters [a loosely styled debate against Andy Kindler re: "Is Vegas Awesome?"], the Sheriff of Nottingham at an alt-comedy show) in a single week, and he was a highlight at all of them.

If it's the same material as Ottawa, it's worth the dough in my opinion. He has a new and interesting point of view.

If anything was overly sharp it was how they described Dave Anthony on Who Charted!, the upside is that I can't imagine that mention not coming up hilariously on Walking the Room this week.

Happy for your success though - I didn't know the live shows were doing that well, which is cool to hear. Nowhere near NYC, but I'd go if one ever coincided with a visit.

I heard that in my head as I was posting, too. :stare:

Can't decide if it's an excess of familiarity with the podcaster or if it's part of Cycle of the Successful Podcaster - a great show leads to outside projects, outside projects mean less time and energy to put into individual podcast episodes during busy season.

Still love Petey Pants and would love to see him live, and I'll still give every episode a chance, but it has flagged a bit from 'appointment podcasting' to 'who's the guest?' (Although some of Pete's guests I haven't known have still been super-interesting, depending on the flow of conversation.

That said, the last two episodes of The Champs have been a bit closer to straightforward interviews than the usual exploration of weird race and sex and showbiz topics. Wonder if that is deliberate or a function of the guests.
