  1. Also Thrift Shop is an awesome song. There's much much worse hip hop out there to hate on.

     

    Nope. "Thrift Store" is extra sucky in relation to the praise it's getting.

     

    Also it just sucks.

     

    That being said, there's no shame in liking music that sucks.


  2. This guy was set up as a bit of a blowhard from the get-go. He wasn't the best guest ever, but I found his relationship with Howard endearing.

     

    I wholeheartedly disagree with his opinion about that awful Macklemore song though. That song suuuucks.


  3. I'd like to think the "Go fuck yourself" line in Garry's new Plugs theme is an homage to Dave Shumka's style of podcast-segment-theme-song authorship... it may have been, unconsciously.

     

    Were the intros for Celebrity Crush Hat and Road to Rock Band both from the same episode? I think they were . . .

     

    I wish those two Canadians would just take a trip to LA and be on a bunch of podcasts.


  4. Rob Huebel has an attitude that's somehow cocky and self-deprecating at the same time, and it is 100% hilarious. He's always an engaging guest on podcasts. Listen to his 2 appearances on Jordan, Jesse, Go! if you haven't already.

     

    All the Chris Gore mentions actually made me go back and try to listen to that episode again. I bailed when he started talking about "rock and roll shopping." That guy really was the worst guest ever.

  5. Sorry to level sexism at some of you, which I know is difficult to defend against, but this is definitely something I've noticed time after time, and I am deliberately having female guests on to combat this perception.

     

    Good on ya Choctaw!

     

    Another great podcast that consistently and deliberately has hilarious female guests is Stop Podcasting Yourself.


  6. All of the above, coupled with the fact that the show was on NBC, which:

     

    ● Has been in last place among the major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) for roughly 10 years

    ● Has a long track record of not giving good shows the opportunity to grow their audience (SEE ALSO: The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien fiasco)

    ● Are almost entirely reliant on Nielsen ratings for determining the success of a show. Since much of BFF's target audience enjoy modern conveniences like time-shifting (i.e. DVRs) and online viewing (i.e. Hulu), and these services aren't factored into Nielsen, the audience appears disproportionately small.

     

    Given all of these factors, if your show isn't a staggering success from the day it premieres, its cancellation is all but guaranteed.

     

    Nielsen ratings are as outdated as microwave cookbooks.

     

    That really sucks.


  7. Holy cow Lennon Parham was great in this episode. And Martin Starr sure was quick with the 'Yes, and . . .'

     

    Neil Campbell was great, but his bit kind of got stepped on.

     

    I missed out on all the BFF stuff because I live in a land down under.

    What happened? Was it bad promotion? Or did most Americans just fail to appreciate another great TV show?


  8. Please bring it back to life. I miss all the good laughs.

    Personally, I could do without Doug's constant plugging - it totally sucks the fun out of the whole concept for me. I don't live anywhere near those shows and I couldn't give a shit about getting my hands on a Woot monkey, whatever the hell that is.

    How about a podcast called "Earplugs" for all that sort of stuff?
