    On an qualitative basis, this might be the best podcast of all time. Every single episode has made me giddy. Even the musical interludes (especially that 'flagon of rice' song) are perfect. It's like Phish were expressly created to elicit articulate disdain. I could listen to Aukerman (or his worthy stand-in Tom) pour steaming buckets of scorn on those sonic train-wrecks all day long. Every clownish lyricism is a punch line, every frat-house riff is a pratfall. Meanwhile, and best of all, Harris seems resignedly aware of the band's absurdity to anyone on the outside. It's just fucking good.

     

    Also, I'm on my phone, but whoever suggested Zouks and Besser for future guests: I totally agree.

    We need another Tim Heidecker appearance. It has been WAAAAAY too long!

    Not very original, but I've got a hankering for another Tim Heidecker appearance.

     

    I just woke up and saw today's guest lineup. CBB, you're the best. In fact, I genuinely don't think this podcast could be any better. Awesome.

    Just listened for the second time: what a stellar episode! Last year's Suicide House was easily in my top three CBB's of all time, so it's not fair to compare, but this one had me guffawing like a fool. Dykeula was absolutely incredible, Rusty was predictably hilarious and Monster Fuck III had me rolling in the Rizzoli and aisles.

     

    All things considered, best year of Bang Bang ever.

    Yeah, Kulap mentioned that she was one of the people there. Should be good.

     

    I got so excited when I heard that! Analyze Phish is the best.

    The anti-socialist in me just got a boner.

     

    The anti-socialist in me gets (ba)rock hard whenever Aukerman launches into one of his scathing attacks on Obamacare.

     

    Also, while this was a fantastic episode, I was sorely disappointed by Scott's failure to jump into Borat during the wife/sister confusion. It seemed like an impossibly-apt opportunity for a Sascha Booboo Gooboo impression.

    I kind of doubt that Mira would come up with a podcast and not have it be on Nerdist. When I heard that, I just took it to mean "Very few people make money off of podcasts, and Scott is one of them."

     

    Yeah, that makes sense. I hadn't listened to any Nerdist podcasts before and I wasn't aware that either of the Matts were really affiliated with the network.

    I was listening to the first episode of James Bonding, with Matt Gourley and Matt Mira (featuring PFT), and Jack Lord's Dr. No contract came up. From there, one of the Matt's segued into discussing the profitability (or otherwise) of podcasts and then - jokingly - said that somehow, at some point "Scott Aukerman gets a cheque".

     

    I know the show's part of the Nerdist network now, but I was wondering whether this indicated that it was originally intended for Earwolf, or if it was just a mistake. Dr. No was the first episode, so I thought it might've been a sort of podcast 'pilot' which ended up moving elsewhere. Also, I've not listened to any other episodes, so they might've already explained the situation.

     

    Thanks!
