Episode 140 — Scotty Boy, My Special Boy

[Episode 140 — Scotty Boy, My Special Boy]

I just about lost it at the "Y'know, I love pussy" a few minutes in.

[Episode 15 — Amy Poehler]

I think this podcast has the highest slugging percentage of any podcast on the internet. I also found some amusing irony in hearing poop described as "never not funny," given Jimmy Pardo's famous hatred of such humor.

[Episode 200 — Republican Party Float]

I haven't listened to this episode but I assume it has to do with pouring a bunch of right-wing politicians into a glass and topping them with ice cream.

[Episode 193 — Mash-Ups]

Actually, at one point I was a die-hard Jay-Z fan but I find it so hard to get excited about his new output that I haven't even listened to MCHG yet (and I defended Blueprint 3 a LOT.) That doesn't mean I'm not still going back and bumping Reasonable Doubt. Killer Mike, Underachievers, Doppelgangaz, Captain Murphy and a lot of others are making hip-hop that is both "more interesting" and also catchier as music to me these days. And Just Blaze (the best producer Jay-Z ever had, including Kanye) is producing the next Slaughtahouse album, so no way am I going to miss Royce over Just Blaze beats.

 

That said, you shouldn't NEED a mash-up to listen to the Black Album, because that shit is still awesome, but some of the remix versions were really good (Danger Mouse's wasn't my favorite. DJ Kno had a great one.)

 

Oh and I expected to hate that Mac Miller album but I don't.

[Episode 188 — High School]

Waiting on mall's take.

[Episode 186 — Viral Racism]

racism is really goin viral these days

 

Like a blanket with small pox

[Episode 87 — Fake Laughing]

If I got to improvise with Maria Bamford I would feel my life's existence had been validated.

[Episode 182 — Has Multiculturalism Failed?]

Yeah, I'm not sure what people who think multiculturalism has failed think the solution is... Maybe a country draft like the race draft on Chappelle's Show? "And with the third pick, the Japanese have selected... Brazil!" Maybe just humanity has failed?

[Episode 11 — Tig Notaro]

This was a great one. Foreign Land guy, hobos at Marshall's, Hot 40 on a Pumpkin, all brilliant.

[List of Scott's Frequently Repeated Phrases]

I've noticed Scott enjoys the expressions "burying the lede" and "gilding the lily" both quite a little bit. Does he always use them correctly? I couldn't say; I'm not sure what they mean.

 

I'm not sure what gilding the lily means, but burying the lead refers to telling a story without starting with the most important/interesting fact.

[Episode 61 — Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot]

BTW, I do like the episode, I just thought it was weird how shocked June was by the gun stuff. She's like a year older than me and I haven't forgotten enough about this time period of movies to be even remotely surprised about Estelle Getty pointing a gun at someone's face.

[Episode 61 — Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot]

Nothing they're describing in the first few minutes sounds scary or disturbing to me. Gonzo toughness and disregard to violence is not some unique thing to this movie.

[Episode 31 — Birdemic: Shock and Terror LIVE!]

This episode is so good they made it the front page of earwolf apparently.

[List of Scott's Frequently Repeated Phrases]

9. Marc Ma-rohn!

10. Thank you so much!

[What guest do you want to see?]

Kurt Metzger

[Episode 112 — All Skrewed Up]

Don't really care about this topic, but yet another classic example of Andrew Ti's ... interesting ... views on music.

 

1) Rock is only for white people.

2) The blues is wack.

3) "That album's gotta be 30 years old, so why listen to it any way?" Because, of course, you should only listen to something within a few years of its release.

[Episode 108 — Running Through Marriages In Thailand]

pfchangs nailed it; fetishizing other races is certainly a form of racism, but I think Andrew dropped the ball when he tried to frame this debate in those terms.

 

I don't think it's necessarily about fetishizing the race as much as it is, "I have a bunch of money, am white and older and have no game and there is a part of the world where I don't need game and by being white and having money I can be with attractive, younger women." That's not fetishizing a race, that's just sizing up an opportunity.

 

edit: In other words, it's not necessarily that they are fetishizers in this scenario, but taking advantage of a part of the world in which they are the fetishizees.

[Episode 118.5 — 3/8/13 TWO CHARTED 57]

For what it's worth, it's Soddy Daisy.

[Episode 118 — Shit Fits]

Happy to see some dissenting opinions to the negativity that I assumed was coming when I saw how many comments this thread had. All three participants were clearly having a lot of fun, and we got to know more about the wonderful enigma that is Howard Kremer. Not every guest is going to be Paul F. Tompkins, so I don't see any reason to react negatively to someone just because they bring a different vibe and aren't good at improv games. I probably wouldn't enjoy hanging out with GC for a night of his chosen activities either, but I have no problem being invited to listen to a podcast where he's doing (maybe) half of the talking.

 

When I see a thread with this number of responses, I usually figure it starts with some negativity, then some "yeah really" agreement negativity, then one or two people being like "Whoa hold on" and then more people being like, "Yeah come on!"

[Episode 118 — Shit Fits]

I haven't listened yet - should I just wait for my Whooch fix until the VPN live show and Twooch on Friday?

 

Nah, I mean, the guy's at least talking to Howard and Kulap so there's plenty of them if you don't end up liking the guy. Oh and Kulap looks great in the group photo, so whatever that X-fit is doing is pretty good.

[Episode 202 — Philip Traumatic Seymour Disorder]

Haha I think my girlfriend really hates this one.

[Episode 116 — Feel The Night]

Cotton was actually Increase's son and was mainly known for his role in the Salem Witch Trials. He called people who defened the accused "Witch Advocates" which is also the name of the indie RPG I'm trying to get bankrolled through Kickstarter.

 

Hopefully serious.

[Episode 114 — Surfing Rainbows]

Big ups to WC for branching out.

Big ups to Steve-O for moving forward in life.

 

- Open minded fan

 

Isn't it also open-minded to be open to the possibility of not liking an episode of a show that one almost always likes?

[Episode 116 — Feel The Night]

So what Kulap is into is Zom-Rom-Com-bos.

[Episode 56 — Nothing But Trouble]

I saw this movie as a child, and I was horrified. Since then I've spoken to MANY people who like it. Are they goddamn insane? This movie destroyed my confidence in authority figures. I too had a very visceral reaction to it and frequent nausea, especially to the Judge. I'm gonna go call my therapist now. I think I just had a breakthrough.

 

I haven't seen it, but the description you just gave does not necessarily scream "bad movie" to me.
