Also, I was behind in episodes and a little late to the party, but the "Comedy and Everything Else" episode featuring the Dr. Laura debacle was both hilarious and poignant. Even though I guess I'd be considered a liberal, Jimmy Dore can be WAY too liberal sometimes. Seems like he's getting his poo poo together now after his disillusionment with Obama.

Was that the episode where they blasted Dr. Laura for using the n-word and how horribly offensive it was, and then just a few minutes later praising George Carlin for how right he was about the 7 dirty words and how words really can't be offensive? Or something like that.

If you're saying what I think you're saying then yes, but I do feel like she was WAY out of line. None of Carlin's seven words are "friend of the family". While I see the fallacy of Dore's ramblings I really hope you're not defending Dr. Laura's meltdown.

Actually, you could remove that word from her discourse and it would still be wildly ignorant. She even managed to twist her own hosed train of logic onto itself to the point where she literally said "I though in this day and age that demonizing whites who hate blacks had stopped". Jesus Christ, or the whole "If you don't like it don't marry outside of your race" poo poo. Her saying "friend of the family" however many times was the least offensive part of her tirade.

I feel like an idiot for going on about it, but this woman commanded an audience at least approaching a Dr. Phil or Glen Beck only you hardly hear about the poo poo she's spewing until it's over the top.

Please excuse my weird digression and/or derailment, but that poo poo made my head explode.

I agree with what you're saying, but Dore really comes off as a hypocrite. I mean, just a few weeks ago he was on Never Not Funny, and there was a REAL long argument about using "n-word" and "human being" and all that. He just wanted a good excuse to blast Dr. Laura, which I've no problem with.

The guys they get to do CDR are so freaking good. Cosby-Bukowski shouldn't be funny, it really shouldn't. Two of the hackiest things in the world are Cosby impressions and "why, this person shouldn't be cursing!?!" humor, but somehow Jon Daly and Nick Swardson made it awesome. And as filthy and sick and weird as I know Andy Daly to be, he still manages to get a "what the gently caress?" out of me whenever he's on the show.

It got pretty bad the more Swardson tried to inject his lovely Betty White humor. Nick Swardson for the most part is Not Funny.

Here's another good not "LOL CELEBRITY" podcast. It's not meant to be funny, but the hosts of "Stuff You Should Know" are really funny.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:

If you want other podcasts that aren't a bunch of celebrity stroking radio shows this weeks episode (230) of Uhh Yeah Dude is really good, between the return of one of their only "segments", rap/country song of the week, Jonathan reveals to Seth that he has black ancestry which blows his mind.

No guests, no lovely segments/shticks, no morning zoo crews where they can swear it truly is the perfect podcast.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:

I hate that this topic is like some celebrity radio show blowfest, it's the reason actual good podcasts can't get listeners because everyone is always "Holy poo poo a celebrity is doing a podcast! Let's all listen!" Adam Carolla is the worst.

Absolutely, it's by far the best podcast out there and they don't resort to lame morning zoo crew antics or zany characters. I recently started listening to the archives, and I forgot how good Jahnathan's Poetry readings are.

But this is why you don't listen to all the morning zoo crew shows.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:

Too few people talk about Sick & Wrong, and too many people talk about whatever zany character podcast/morning zoo crew radio show/celebrity jacking off podcasts. Sick & Wrong is almost at its fifth anniversary, once a week of quality podcrafting since episode 1 and they do it just for fun, no bullshit subscriptions. As they said, support the indie podcasts and stop downloading George Clooney and Julia Roberts podcast about what they ate for breakfast.

I was never big into Andrew on the mic, honestly. I liked his random "Peh!" laughter outburst every now and then in the background, though. Miss it big time. But Elliot's very bizarre laugh is nice.

Season 4 was probably the best. All the old favorites and some really good one-off guests, too. It really is the best podcast, through and through, for years now. CDR has made me laugh harder than anyone but each episode doesn't have the revisit power that NNF has.

Not sure if he's changed his setup, but another thing that bothered me about the Nerdist podcast was the sound quality. Before I unsubscribed I think he was using the built-in mics of a commercial field recorder and while not completely terrible, it was incredibly difficult to listen to considering I live in a city.

It is a bit surprising how the podcast that's by the biggest "tech geek" out there has the worst sound quality, too. Jesus Christ it's bad. And it really is a "celebrity blowfest;" it's just Hardwick sucking up to some nerd icon, or talking to fellow stand-ups about the business, which I generally don't mind, but his interview style is pretty terrible.

It just doesn't seem to fit his "niche" at all. You'd expect some high-quality geeky thing with bits and fun segments and poo poo. But it sounds like the worst "three white guys talking" podcasts around.

I'm a huge fan of PFT, but boy the Tompkast sure drags at times, even in the places it shouldn't, like the bits with various characters. I just think what makes him so funny is when he's playing those characters completely off the cuff, as opposed to scripted. So my favorite parts of the podcast has been just him rambling in the warm, hush tones, and his conversations with Jen Kirkman. I understand he wanted to do something different, but....eh.

It's not ALTERNATIVE or REAL TALK. It's just straight up hilarious and plenty of good natured racism and sexism. It's the gooniest (in a good way) podcast in the world. They don't have to rely on prepared bits, zany antics or celebrity pimping to get listeners.

I was trying to describe his new show to someone recently.

I said, "If Greg Proops did 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' it would take roughly 17 minutes. During that time you will be rapt in strict attention as you laugh your rear end off while simultaneously being taught the history of poultry domestication, a time-line of the United States National Highway System, and the etymology of the word 'cross'. To get to the other side."

There needs to be a machine (or iPhone app) that takes jokes and Proopsidizes them

Earwolf is launching two new podcasts this week, "Who Charted" with Howard Kremer (Dragon Boy Suede) and Kulap (Scott's wife) which is apparently a humorous take on pop culture charts.

"Glitter in the Garbage with Drew Droege" is some sort of mashup of improvisational sketches, stories from Drew's life, and character pieces.

On top of that, there's going to be a semi-regular podcast called "How Did This Get Made?" with Paul Scheer, where every podcast he takes on something from movies, music, TV, etc., and asks - How did this get made?

Yeah guys - That's a new Earwolf podcast Mon-Fri. Holy poop I'm excited.
