Tonight's VPN is Who Charted? with guest host Natasha Leggero and Howard. So, Conduit for Sale, you may want to skip this one.

Earwolf posted a cover photo of Howard and Natasha yesterday, then today I saw the same banner but with EMILLYYYYYYY Gordon. I wonder what's up with dat.

He's taking calls on the 9th. I'll definitely give the show a try because I love Michael Showalter but a call-in show about cats sounds awful to me.

That was November 9th.

I couldn't take Trumpet Guy. I did enjoy Paul Rust nodding sagely when he abruptly began discussing his memory of 9/11, but Jesus, that segment was simply exploitation of a Crazy Person.

A goon respects the silence that serves as the foundation for good posting.

I'm just playing, I agree with you. But I still laugh so hard at this guy.

Ad on Hollywood Handbook today reveals that an "extended preview" of The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project is coming next Monday, December 16th :)

But regular episodes don't start until February :(

I think they're holding it back so it premieres once Andy Daly's Comedy Central show finally premieres. Comedy Central has been known to hold back shows for a while so they can schedule like-minded blocks, but I thought it was cancelled given a full calendar year went by.

This years Sklarbro Country characters episode really needed a VPN. Bryant Gumbel, Tom Leykis, Mark Whalberg, High Dick Vitale, Dennis Rodman, Steven Seagal, Matthew McCoughnahey, Jesse Ventura, UFC Tim Gunn, and Bruce Jenner, all performed by three people. I can't believe they didn't have Racist Vin Scully given he was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade.

I kinda hope so. I really can't imagine it being good at all.

The Earwolf FB page answered my question earlier today. It's on "hiatus" (how can something be on hiatus if it's not a thing yet?) but will premier later this year. I hope they don't do the call-in format though. Live call-ins almost never work on podcasts.

On today's Who Charted, someone sent in a chart listing their worst fears and one was driving your car into a lake or off a cliff. And it reminded me of a podcast where the guest talked about watching a car full of people drive off a mountain cliff and all die when he was a kid.

I think it was Sklarbro Country but I'm not sure at all. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Odds are it was an Earwolf show.

I've been listening to Topics all night and now I wish there was a Hollywood Handbook crossover between the two podcasts, kind of like a sarcasm fight. By that I mean Sean and Hayes would renounce the Michaels' use of sarcasm and introduce them to the cultural concept of New Sincerity.

What's the deal with the Wiseman character? I half-listen to pods most of the time while I work and didn't realize for like 20 mins that PFT switched to a different director. Was it introduced on this week's episode for the first time?

This clip from Rattle & Hum is basically the quintessential U2 clip and shows how they became the biggest band in the world through their live shows while also turning off of people for making their music not fun. It's got them at the peak of their popularity and musical ability, but it also contains all the pretentious quirks that have followed them ever since, including a great LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SITUATION IN IRELAND mid-song rant by Bono. Although in this case, you can forgive Bono given that IRA terrorists blew up a bunch of people earlier that day.

Plus check out that shirtless vest + crucifix combo from Bono and The Edge's ponytail:

Who Charted is really boring when the guests and co-host take pop culture seriously. Howard Kremer sounded like he wanted to blow his brains out listening to multiple conversations about the best Batman movie. I was gonna skip these Kulap-less episodes but the awkward tension between Howard and April is enough to make me listen.

Soooooo Harris just tweeted to Moshe Kasher (former addict) "yo just got out of rehab we gotta talk bro lol" and then quickly deleted it. It really didn't seem like a joke + his Twitter account went silent for a whole month recently. Besides Analyze Phish, I've heard him on podcasts extolling his love of benzos, so hopefully this means he got clean off the pharmaceuticals. A couple of my friends became total zombies when they got addicted to Klonopin.

Is that the thing they did with Kmart? My earliest memories of U2 were like the videos for Mysterious Ways and Numb but like the first time I really became aware of them and how dumb they were was the Kmart thing.

e: ugh I left Numb playing in a window and when I alt-tabbed back to it there were a bunch of goddamn feet on my screen. dammit U2

That's their Pop-era tour, PopMart. Both were basically the same thing except Pop took on consumerism while ZooTV was about subliminal messages and fame and zzzZZzZzzzzzZZZZzz.....
