The Heidecker ep was pretty weak imo, otm about it just turning into an hour of making fun of trump (except for the Shapiro stuff which is always good). Ironically it's Matt of all of them who falls most into the trap of "OMG he's so dumb!" which makes him sound like the average liberal on facebook.

After hearing all the Cernovich/Gorilla Mindset references I really wish they'd do a reading series. I can't bring myself to read it but I want to know what's inside.

the pisspiggranddad interview was interesting but it was pretty weird how they didn't seem interested in following up on his 'lol we don't have child soldiers as long as you don't think 14-year-olds are children' comment

I'm having a hard time with the ppg interview - maybe I'm not ironic enough but the interesting topics are getting buried in Metal Gear jokes and lulz.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 19:31 (seven years ago) link
yeah, they aren't very good at interviews.
I'm starting to get a bit annoyed with the attention these dudes get. Even in relation to other podcasters, like Michael Brooks, the sidekick on the Majority Report, is ten funnier and smarter than these guys put together. Listening to them is like the taste of Mountain Dew on your tongue for an hour.

Well, that's the stylistic difference, isn't it? Majority Report is Sam Seder's show, so it would come down to how much you dig Adam Seder's stuff.

Adam Sam Seder
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link
Sure. Hes got his own show too. But yeah I like Seder a fiction more than the Chapos

re: quality of interviews, they vary wildly. the Adam Curtis and Ricky Rawls eps were good. generally I prefer them to stick to journos.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 20:04 (seven years ago) link
And there you go. These guys are just getting a lot of attention because they're both serving a function and offering seen as new and different to a lot of people. Similar to how Air America(incl Sam's show) got plenty of focus when they started broadcasting.
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 20:43 (seven years ago) link
Offering something seen as new and different, I should say
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 20:44 (seven years ago) link
the hour-of-Mountain-Dew comparison is where I'm at too. these guys are just so deeply jaundiced about everything that it starts to drag on my soul listening to them for too long. I followed them on Twitter and then immediately unfollowed the most exhausting guy (I think Will?) and honestly I'm probably gonna cut the cord with the whole outfit before too long.

A lot of the interviews have been good, I think the problem was probably the guest this time.

― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Friday, 3 March 2017 22:17 (seven years ago) link
yeah agree that the last one was really good. not to bring up stern again but like that show they are at their best when they are cracking each other up (i know this wears thin for other people but i find it infectious).
it's interesting to watch them evolve and learn a difficult medium as they go. they are essentially talented amateurs, so i'm ok with shows being really uneven.
― ryan, Friday, 3 March 2017 22:26 (seven years ago) link
I love Sam Kriss but having him on a podcast with someone trying to agree with him is a terrible dynamic, he's at his best skirting this very precise edge of "my take is bad but bad takes are actually good and important", this was totally unlistenable.

Two stay-at-home dads/stand-ups from Columbus. Pretty jocular and open and easygoing on the air.
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Friday, 17 March 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
I listen to Street Fight from time to time. The guys are very likeable but the show drags sometimes. I usually listen to my Chapo, Cum Town and The Dig with Daniel Denvir eps first, then it's a toss-up btw Katie Halper show, Street Fight and Delete Your Account depending on guests.

Also Doug Henwood if there's a new one is somewhere in the upper range of the hierarchy.
FWIW one of them is not fully a stay-home dad bc he drives for Lyft.

Latest premium Chapo was p good but I hate when a show has a guest and then doesn't utilize the guest. You can't assume they'll just vibe, you have to do something to get them involved. He said like three things the whole show.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Saturday, 18 March 2017 01:58 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, it was a disappointing underuse of a guest. 40 minutes of Garfield talk and Caleb took up the entire time

latest episode rules, it's a "clip show," and not only do they acknowledge the shit sound quality, but also Will's fucked up mispronunciation of words - he pronounces "zine" phonetically instead of "zeen" and everyone piles on. thank god. Matt as Walther howling in the void is amazing, and reminds me of whenever Howard Stern puts tons of reverb on his mic and sings In the Court of the Crimson King.
