The Complete Guide to Everything http://tcgte.com/

If conversational rambling comedy sounds like your thing but Uhh Yeah Dude and Jordan Jesse Go leave you cold (as was the case with me) this one may just scratch your itch. Tom and Tim attempt to make Wikipedia obsolete by recording podcasts on every topic imaginable, but usually fail in a glorious, hilarious, and lovable way.

My favorite podcast of all time is You Look Nice Today but they hardly ever seem to update. Go through the archives for some good times.

I guess I just don't like people playing characters on radio/podcasts. When I listened to the Adam Carolla podcast I skipped any episode with Van Stone or that fake Republican guy. I like it when people are funny being themselves

I agree, except for The American's appearances on The Bugle. He is hilarious.

I used to really like Carolla's podcast and lately I find myself just skipping it every day unless he has some really amazing guest -- which is very rare. I didn't make a conscious effort to stop, he's just boring. It's the same thing every day.

Same here. He's really entertaining until you listen long enough that he starts to repeat himself, and if his format is mostly him rambling without hardly letting his guests get a word in edgewise, that's inevitable.

Adam Carolla on the latest Savage Lovecast. That felt... odd. I wonder who set that up.

I dislike Garfunkel & Oates. They do not understand how two people singing at the same time is supposed to work.

I find Marc Maron pretty irritating but he gets some good interviews. I just listened to the Stewart Lee episode which was fantastic, although that's mainly because I think Stew is a genius.

DLM - Fifty WHAT popcorn kernels in his teeth? I haven't been able to understand that lyric in any of the versions of the song. Sounds like "azin." Yeah I know I could google it.

So who was that Andy Daly character based on? The impression sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it.

God drat do I wish Gelman was allowed to finish his story, they're always amazing.

He's done a couple of different old-man characters with basically the same voice, such as the personal trainer from episode 74.

I enjoy TESD in a Jersey Shore kind of way. They're all pretty dim, so listening to them argue without any intelligent interjection (with the occasional exception of Quin) is like watching a trainwreck.

Same with smod, really. Aside from movies and hockey, those guys don't know a goddamn thing.

Apparently they just taped a live You Look Nice Today so keep an eye out for that. The live ones aren't as good IMO but still excited.

I loving love when CDR Radio gets absurd.

PARAPHRASING:

"He just yells 'YOLK FROM EGG' whenever he gets angry or excited. You know which one he is from his inflection"
"What about if he's neutral?"
"....He mouths it."

I was laughing so hard at that part. When PFT breaks slightly it's just so infectious. He's the most lovable comedian ever.

The thing that's starting to get to me about Comedy podcasts is that it feels like there is a limited community of comedians interested in it and you end up hearing them on every podcast.

That's why podcasts with people who aren't semi-famous like The Complete Guide to Everything are so refreshing to me. I love their impromptu style and how they talk about something different every episode. Does anyone have suggestions for podcasts similar to the Complete Guide?

I just listened to the first episode of Mike And Tom Eat Snacks (with Michael Ian Black) which seems like it could be a winner in that vein, gotta listen to a couple more. I know what you mean though, I used to listen to Jordan Jesse Go and Stop Podcasting Yourself but they just seemed like inferior versions of TCGTE.

Reggie Watts, while not hilariously laugh out loud constantly funny, is very quick witted

I dunno, he seemed pretty slow to catch on to Scott's fake game. Speaking of which, is Harris Wittels the one who doesn't understand the popularity of Plugs? That cracks me up.

Goddamn, was Carolla on DLM painful. Also: I just plain cannot bring myself to like Bald Bryan in any way, because although he seems like a perfectly nice guy his lovely sound drops epitomize the change in Carolla's format for me, which I couldn't stand and unsubscribed almost immediately. I used to like that podcast.

Regarding "Talking Funny": there are times when Seinfeld strikes me as stale and old-hat but you gotta love how he got by far the biggest laugh of the whole thing with his "whistle" comment. What a strong comedic personality/mind.

Today's DLM with PFT is really entertaining. PFT is just loving awesome. I wish he'd come out to New York more. I'm going to try to snag tickets to see DLM right now.

I wish he would just do a complete podcast with Jen Kirkman. I love their chemistry.

Another heads-up for TCGTE. Tim and Tom's chemistry is really amazing. Also, Tim is loving funny.

Yeah, I've listened to plenty of podcasts that fit the format of "two guys just talking about whatever" and TCGTE is the only one I still listen to. It's not even that it's constantly hilarious, although it certainly has its moments; their chemistry is just more pleasant to listen to. Very friendly.

I still listen to the Apple Sisters, but it hasn't really expanded the characters, and even when its only 20 minutes its kinda hard to listen to an all character show.

Same here, I've been trying but it feels too forced. Probably will stop listening soon unless there are some developments.

I tried to like How Did This Literally Get Made because I like Paul and Jason, but it's so obnoxious. I was hoping for more humorous deconstruction, but it's mostly just a bunch of yelling and forced exasperation. I'm looking forward to checking out those other two. Because I don't listen to enough podcasts already.

have you checked out The Greatest Movie Ever podcast? You should, there's a lot of good earnest deconstruction. It's not really a humor podcast but it's a lot nicer to listen to and the hosts are super geeky but on-point and appreciative of the little things. As often as not they'll find a lot to like in weird b-movies and cult fare.

PFT's Ice T seems like such a nice, sweet-natured, hapless fella. All of his characters are pretty great (well, maybe not Mr. Brainwash...), but Ice is the most likeable in my opinion. He seems like he'd hang out with Reggie Watts.

One of my favorite Ice-T moments is when Scott asked him something about his jacket going well with his skin tone and he was like "Yeah, I'm not comfortable with that line of questioning."

Listening to the first episode of Rock Solid now. These guys have kinda disappointing musical taste. I think if they were ten years younger it might be a better podcast. I'll listen to the other eps though and see where it goes.
