Chicago late show was insanely great last night.

I was surprised to see Eddie Murphy sweating an $8 purchase, but I also don't know anyone that saw Tower Heist.

Did Phish play any PLUM JAMS?

Bong Song was obviously inspired by G&O, but I really enjoyed the heck out of it.

Rad!

Will I be able to wear rubber boots during either scenario?

Luke Burbank, Jennifer Andrews, or Sean DeTore from "Too Beautiful to Live"

I lost both of my my thumbs in a tragic 1/2 priced appetizers accident at Applebees. Is this podcast still for me?

Great conversation... David Kahn has really great insight into the business of media buying.

It's a good segment and is the type of thing that helps build a sense of "community" with fans of podcast. I hope they bring Chart Chatter back, but agree with Bucho that it should be moved to later in the show. It's a momentum killer at the top but would fit in nicely near the end, either at the very end or right before the Obscure Facts About the Guest game.

Shouldn't you put that money towards a new keyboard? You seem to have several broken keys.

Really enjoyed this episode. I'm with Dustin, CBB/CDR has always had a musical element. The fact that the show has grown enough to pull in talent like Nick Lowe (NICK LOWE!!!!) is pretty incredible. Also, this is as good a time as any to share this pic of my wife and Margaret Cho telling me that I'm #3 (or something). [attachment=10819,277]

"Wave of Mutilation" is a fantastic, though very likely unintended, response to the people complaining about cutting jokes from last week.

True story... I was almost murdered when I was ten years old. I tripped on a pair of sneakers someone left laying in the hallway and I overheard the octor say that if I'd been walking on top of a thirty-story building, I would have died.

It can be a bit tedious, but I do enjoy it from time to time. Maybe just bring it out once in awhile... As Sarah Silverman would say, make it a treat.

Recently bought tickets to see Wilco in December, and Nick Lowe will be opening. He's invading my life!!!

I think it would be more accurate to look at podcasts taking over terrestrial radio share of the market, especially as more and more cars become "Smart" and allow you to download content directly to your dashboard. Also, now that I have an AV plug-in in the car, I listen to almost nothing but podcasts (and WXRT) while I drive. As far as advertisers go, it's hard for them to wrap their brain around this medium. It's best compared to national syndicated radio shows (like Dr. Laura, Bob & Tom, etc) but doesn't have the kind of large audience that syndicated radio brings. So you have to look more at what KIND of audience you're reaching... And that's the great thing about podcasts. It's not for all advertisers, but it's an audience that's loyal, tuned-in, and easy to narrowly target as far as demographics go. It's not a huge audience (even Carolla, Smith, and Maron can't compare to most syndicated radio listenership) but it's the RIGHT audience.

This was so much fun to record. Thank you Jeff, for asking me to be on the show, and Julia and Dustin for being so great to chat with. So surreal!
