From what I understand, it was more that Auckerman and someone else were joint creators of Comedy Death Ray, and they had a bit of a falling out, so Auckerman switched the name to make it his own project.

e: That someone else was B.J. Porter. Wikipedia has no information regarding the name change other than the fact that it happened.

Seth Morris looks exactly the way I imagine Bob Ducca would. Wow.

Also, they likely will be premium episodes. Not sure if I'll buy them if they don't have Paul F. Tompkins.

I'd never heard that character before, and now I hope to never hear him again. The voice itself was interesting and comical, but he didn't really do much with it. There's not much one can do with disgusting food bits.

In the "No characters" scenario, does that also apply to Bob Ducca, who now has his own podcast, or to the characters portrayed by Paul F. Tompkins, who also exist in his own podcast?

I think that was my only problem with this one. Her songs weren't necessarily bad, but they were hella long. I skipped every one past the first one after it was the same line over and over again for about a minute.

Farts and Procreation is an abosulte must, as it gives you a great primer for Harris Wittels. It is the episode that made me get into CBB, and I still love his Jack from the Lumber Yard bit.

I didn't get to finish this week's episode yet (the file somehow got corrupted mid-playback), so I'm sorry if this was answered in Plugs, but are there going to be any other guests besides Tim Heidecker and James Adomian?

There are a lot of characters on CBB that I know are real people, but that I've never heard speak before, like Huell Howser or Cake Boss. Ventura was one of them. Holy hell does Adomian have him down well.

Going into this epsiode having not really having idea who anyone on the list was, I found this week's to be pretty entertaining. Amy Phillips needs to work on some more interesting, or at least distinct (her Liza Minelli was great), characters, but she was pretty good for the most part. Andy was a hoot, and Loudoun's music was alright. Good episode overall.

Also, I managed to get two consecutive chatchphrases! I didn't even know that could happen!

I'm often playing a game while listening, so backing out and losing whatever progress I had is normally far more trouble than just sitting through the ads. I don't mind the LegalZoom ones since Scott's doing them and he changes them up often enough, but the Pepsi Next one has been there for a few weeks now and it's been the same one every time. It's also in improv4humans and I assume every other Earwolf podcast.

Man no way Wittels would use that improv takeback (OTB.) You can hear him hesitate and then just say gently caress it: "The eight year old is...enh, the mother"

About the tour, On the Who Charted with Nick Thune, Kulap mentioned she's going to a wedding in Vancouver in August, hopefully the Aug 10 show isn't just filler to pay for the trip from Philly the day before. Tickets are only 20$, how much are the other venues going for?

The Philly show is also $20. I was surprised at the price as well, and am upset that I will be down the shore when the show comes around.

This episode was pretty great. I, too, am upset at the lack of a Foam Corner, but just having Adam Scott on with Harris again was more than enough for me.

Once I heard Tim Heidecker was gonna be on the Philly show all desire to buy a ticket evaporated. gently caress :(

Tim Heidecker is at every show, from what I understand, along with James Adomian. But Paul F Tompkins is doing a solo show the next 2 days after the CBB show somewhere else in Philly, so I think it's safe to assume he will be at the CBB show as well.

I don't mind Tim so long as he's not stepping on the toes of the other guests. He was great when he was on with Eric since they have the same style and everything, but the episode where he was on to help announce the tour felt long and kinda forgettable since the show had to stop every few minutes for him to say some dumb thing.

I would hope he's better on stage with so many different people. Or that he's not on stage at all and is only involved because it's technically a tour for the TV show, and Abso-lutely is his company.

No, Bob Odenkirk says on today's CBB that no one was really into doing it and the conversations meandered way too much, so basically all we'll ever hear of it are the three sketches on the episode.

I actually really liked those sketches, and they kind of reminded me of SuperEgo in a way. If they just wanted to do a show of just skits, and release them every month or so, I'd really be on board.
