i don't understand any of the stuff at the beginning. Also i'd like to support dude through his endorsement stuff but --i don't know about the rest of you but i do my best to avoid the brands of coffee that make me shit my pants (i see you Cafe Bustelo)
― antexit, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
coffee company = endorsementendorsement = supports dude's podcastpoop jokes = "funny"funny = essential for comedy podcast
that's how I break it down to an extent.

If you leave a voice mail for Seth and leave your number, he calls you back. Have had a few lol/ o_O phone conversations with him.

WHY DOES IT SAY LOCK THE GATES

^I figured this out a few weeks ago bcz he mentioned the line in a podcast

the paul f. tompkins podcast is kind of a letdown.. but man, theres a shit ton of podcasts out there to choose from. what a time to be alive.

It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't have the patience for it, but I could see the late night scenario working well.
I get annoyed with the chattiness on Nerdist...but their Rainn Wilson ep was pretty killer
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Tompkins' John C. Reilly impression is killer.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I have been genuinely fooled by that on Comedy Death Ray?
can't get enough of Tompkins' Ice-T tbh

I just listened to my first Nerdist podcast ever last night, the one with Donal Logue. SO GOOD! I don't know which one to d/l next, though. Maybe the Rainn Wilson one?
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Rainn = yes!!
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
The Jonathan Coulton one is pretty good also
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:58 (thirteen years ago) link
the extra-long live Nerdist with Craig Ferguson was great

This is key. It's kind of the grown up version of a kid with a tape recorder doing weird shit and imaginary radio shows.

Best Show, obviously. The podcast to end all podcasts. Also the Tompkast and Judge John Hodgman.
Really can't believe no one has said: SUPEREGO. That one is really great too.

Best Show gems is nice if all you want is some S&W.

my ex was super into the best show.. I never got into it.. seemed way too samey to me.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 2 December 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
in the same way that STRAWBERRIES are samey, or BLOWJOBS
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 2 December 2010 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I love the best show but it is definitely not for everyone.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
the endless references to solo records by obscure members of 70s hard rock bands just kill me for some reason

The recent Gems show where "Bernie Taupin" calls in is awesome:

wtf ep with apatow was really good, esp. the clips of 16-yr-old apatow talking to leno, seinfeld and shandling. i really don't understand people who know what they want to do with their lives starting from their childhood but i have a respect for them.
listening to bamford episode now, also good
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link
whoa bamford ep gets pretty hardcore
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link
does she talk in that funny voice?
i really like maria bamford, but i imagine if they're digging deep it's gonna come up with some psychologicall upsetting stuff
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
the most psychologically damaging anecdote I remember from that episode is her being hired to play a bajoran holocaust victim for some traveling deep space nine theme park show.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
? that must have been a different show, this one is about her abusive ex-boyfriend and her love of 12-step programs and her psychological problems as a teen/college student
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
still had to skip 15 minutes of maron rambling about some b.s. though
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 December 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
isn't it the one where he's driving her after some comedy festival in the boonies?
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 2 December 2010 20:04 (thirteen years ago) link
The stuff about her Dad kind of fascinates me

listening to the louis c.k. two-parter; it's so good! am sort of in love with louis c.k. now

I've never really seen anything with him except a clip from letterman where he talks about how everything is awesome and people are miserable that's really funny. I should watch his TV show.
― ENBB, Thursday, 2 December 2010 22:18 (thirteen years ago) link
he is amazing
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 2 December 2010 22:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Louis the TV show is pretty great.
― sofatruck, Friday, 3 December 2010 05:34 (thirteen years ago) link
the dane cook WTF is amazing too, where there's 20 mins of cook being actually kind of affable and nice, and maron keeps asking, in various different phrasings, "why does everyone hate you so much? why does everyone say you're an asshole?" and cook gets more and more tetchy and difficult until by the end he's unbearable. this whole podcast kind of reminds me of the interrogation room scenes from homicide: life on the street, but with poop jokes.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link
weird ive just recently started listening to WTF and listened to the dane one today...idk i thought the mencia eps were "worse" in that i didnt really buy that he felt wrong or bad abt much of the stuff marc brought up to him
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 03:16 (thirteen years ago) link
the interviews are really engaging and maron is good at them but i just dont care enough abt marc's life and admit i fast fwd through all his monologues
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 03:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Almost any podcast where it's just a guy alone with a recording device are pretty hard to take.Those chunks of Maron's show are uncomfortable.
― schwantz, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 03:31 (thirteen years ago) link
He's got better at it imo
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 03:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I've just started listening to Best Show on WFMU -- I like it a lot! One thing I like: it's 3 hours long so it fills up a nice part of my morning :) I sort of feel like there's some joke that I'm not quite getting yet, but at the same time I really like him and his weird callers.
I love the little kid that has called in the last couple of weeks: the first one I heard, he pretended to Molly Molesworth, a babysitter; and then last week he was a 97 year old man on his death bed who is still in highschool and was held back in 2nd grade for 16 years. It's like listening to an acidfreak do improv. Tom is an excellent straight man.
