Big O and Dukes - http://bigoanddukes.com/

They're back! I've been a fan since their days on WHFS, and I was upset when WJFK flipped formats last year, but they're up to their fourth weekly reunited podcast now and I can't wait for more. The first couple episodes back are kind of slow, and they talk a lot about their friends that aren't in the studio, but the chemistry between Oscar and Chad is very entertaining.

Check this out of you're a fan of funny talk radio.

Also, I just want to say that after starting to tire of Doug Loves Movies over the past few weeks, the Swardson/Hardwick/Kroll show was a fantastic breath of fresh air for the show. It was funnier than the show had been in a while and all the guests interacted with each other really well. I've been convinced not to give up on DLM.
I know it's just a cheap pun, but I almost ran off the road from laughing so hard when I was listening to this episode and "Maid in Manhattan: Full Blown Maids" got mentioned.

Yeah, El Chupacabra showed up on Reno 911 multiple times. That's one of my favorite characters on CDR. Nick Kroll is awesome.


I'm still catching up on older episodes of CDR, but I love every appearance by Andy Daly. It's kind of a running joke that every one of his characters mentions suicide eventually. I hope that's not a cry for help.

I agree. Why have 3 guests on for a 30 minute show where you also have to take time to explain the premise? Nick Kroll got through like one joke before commercial.

It would work much better with fewer comedians, or in a 1 hour format. I'd love to see it live.

I'm about 20 minutes into the latest CDR and Marissa Wompler is already shaping up to be my favorite female character. Which to be fair is a pretty short list but nevermind. Is Jessica St. Clair actually 15 years old?
A guy I work with who also listens to CDR complained last week that they were paying too much attention to the 15 year old intern. When I assured him that was actually a character he started to enjoy the episode a lot more. Marissa Wompler has been great in both of her appearances on the show.

I love Hodgman; seen him live a few times. I just, for reasons beyond rational explanation, cannot stand Jessie Thorn even for a second. I really wish "Were you Aware of It!?" was about an hour per episode.
I feel the same about Jesse Thorn, but he barely speaks except to swear in both sides, and his cadence kind of reminds me of Doug Llewelyn from The People's Court, so I can power through it.

Half the fun of CDR is in Scott loving with the improv characters. I love when he asks them to repeat something they said 20 minutes ago in the show, and when he focuses on the dumbest things that the character would rather just breeze past. He gives Andy Daly such a hard time sometimes, and Andy is a total pro.


And Li'l Gary is indeed delicious. Hilarious! I meant hilarious. He's not food.

I bought his album Nine Sweaters this week just to support him for being so consistently great on CDR, and it's really funny. Several of the characters he did were later seen on CDR, but only one of them (life of the party guy) even mentioned suicide.

The suicide thing is definitely brought on by Scott. I don't remember which character it was, but early on in the show Scott started asking if he was depressed and Andy responded with something like "Jeeze, do you really want to get into that so soon?". And then on with the suicide plans.

I'd rather listen to Winnie the Whiny Baby from that live episode than either Tim or Eric.

Neil Hamburger is great when he's doing standup, but CDRR isn't the best venue for standup.

Scott was still able to save an almost horrible episode with Dead or Alive. I was hoping for another French Stewart callback.

He went to a radio station to record a "15 worst songs" countdown for free. They did the whole thing, then told him after he left that they didn't actually record any of the hour he spent talking. Then he bitched to his assistant that his publicists gave him bad information. Maybe it's not riveting man-of-the-people stuff, but it wasn't horrible.

I don't know why I'm white knighting a literal millionaire, but if you don't like it, you can easily ignore it. I skipped the Breitbart episode because it sounded boring.

He can be funny, or make humorous observations, but every time he tries to interject himself in the "case", he just breaks up the flow of the podcast, and brings things to a grinding halt. I honestly don't mind him when they're clearing the docket or whatever, but during the cases, his attempts at spontaneous humor are just bsd.

I'd put up with any amount of Jesse Thorn to get more of John Hodgman's patronizing conversations with insufferable hipsters.

Maybe it's better that I don't listen to you talking about people oozing while I'm working anyway!
