Pft is the worst

Maybe he means Pro Football Talk, because Mike Florio actually IS the worst.

PFT is only funny when he's not convinced he's the most brilliant person in the room. Which is getting less common.

I listened to that Flowers in the Attic episode of I Dont Even Own a TV, it was really good! I hadnt heard of the podcast before

went back & tried the Michelle Remembers episode...ehhhh not so much

Have a couple of those on my mp3 thingy waiting to be listened to.

I love PFT but I tend to agree these days. He's gotten a little too comfortable with himself.

i like him, but enjoy him most in group ensembles like Thrilling Adv Hour/Superego etc

I'd rather pour bongwater in my ears while Marc Maron rattles on about his 26 year old f buddy than listen to that unfunny foppy motherfucker do the cake boss.

looool

cake boss!

I feel the same way about Patton Oswald

Patton isn't on 40 podcasts a week

I know, it was a non-podcast type observation

Yeah I'm kinda not feelin' Patton as much these days either. Guess this Saffron Herndon kid is all we've got left.

:/

hey! just found out the flop house guys read a letter from me on their most recent episode on vice

i was disproportionately psyched

speaking of Flop House, the San Fran episode featured a couple of people who are regulars on my favorite comedy pod, the Filmdrunk Frotcast.

friend of the Frot (and the guy behind the Shit My Dad Says twitter feed/subsequent short-lived TV show) Justin Halpern has a new 'cast too with a couple of comedy writer pals called Wild'n Out Without Nick Cannon, and it's been great so far.

xpost that's cool!! which one was yours?

it was the one about guardian of the highlands - probably would have been received better by the guys if they'd read it closer to when it was sent (september!) but it was still kinda cool to have elliott and stuart incessantly talking over dan reading out a letter i sent in

pretty sure i started listening to the show at your recommendation on this thread so thanks for the heads-up!

lool that was so funny! hooray for you & yr new fame :)

Tom Scharpling calling out Scott's terrible jokes on this week's CBB in a different manner than Mantzoukas usually does was great.

This week's episode was the annual Caramel Esposito / JW Stillwater pairing, there must be a b-b-b-bonus ep.

BG, congrats on the letter! I've been running backwards through all of the Flop House episodes over the past six months or so, I'm in the low teens now.

i dont like the non-elliott episodes, i skipped most of them

and i think i'm alone but i just really dont like hallie haglund as a guest. fans love her but she annoys me so much

The only guest who really killed it IMO was Wyatt Cenac. But if they're down a host they're definitely going uphill, Elliott, Stuart and Dan have great chemistry.

Beyond Yacht Rock ,w/Mike McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Hollywood Steve and Coco

That one is pretty fun

"Hello from the magic tavern" is all time funny imo

Ooh on that same tip, The Adventure Zone has been my obsession for months now. The McElroy brothers (from My Brother My Brother & Me, which I also love) & their Dad playing D&D but writing their own stories & making all kinds of shit up as they go and it's funny as hell.

The Beef Season saga on Get Up on This has been pretty fun.

Just started on Hello from the Magic Tavern, liking it so far (6 eps in).

The "Tom Cannot Complain" episode of the Best Show from a few weeks back is an absolute all-time classic.

Not a comedy podcast, really, though Chris Gethard is a comic. I've so far found Beautiful/Anonymous really engrossing.

Premise: Chris takes a call from someone, no name given, and they talk for an hour.

They played an edited version of a Beautiful/Anon episode on This American Life and it felt like listening in on a suicide hotline call

I rather enjoyed this ep of JordanJesseGo with Jensen Karp as the guest on a book tour. Jensen & Jesse start competing for most obscure inside hiphop joke, and Jordan helps get disgusted at how idiotic their jokes all get.

Also: Fred Durst stories.

I just started Magic Tavern & it's cracking me up. On board for sure

Jon Gabrus' podcast is fun when it's just him and two buddies, all three former high school/college athletes way too into weightlifting, ripping into 80s action movies.

i interviewed david icke this morning for my podcast its not comedy tho :(

yikes. how was it

do you need emergency brain-rinsing station

it was cool! we told him about the death metal band embryonic devourment that bases their lyrics on his work and he was stoked.

went to see the comedy bang bang tour, in tarrytown.
really funny stuff. paul f. tompkins is a delight.

I envy u

Kurt what's your podcast? I'd listen to that.

Don't always love Heidecker but this was funny: http://www.feralaudio.com/59-camping-with-rock-and-roll-gary-tim-heidecker/

Ron Funches!

Beyond Yacht Rock is pretty much like ILM the podcast. Each week a new musical genre is posited, and a top 10 is counted down and argued about. This week is "George Orwave"-- New Wave songs about paranoia and Totalitarianism.

If you've never listened to The Dollop, the Disco Demolition episode is great. The guest comedian is barely there, but the 45 minute backstory to the main story is amazing, in a nutshell the life story of the only guy in history who tried to make baseball interesting.

Holy shit, I need this in my life.

Listening to Anthony Mackie run wild all over his press junket is a beautiful thing, especially when him & Matt start tussling over Boston and various Volvo models. Mackie goes from insulting Chris to describing acting theory in less than 120 seconds in certain parts.
