    Mark Kozelek is getting a lot of lip service on my podcasts. AP Mike from Tom Scharpling's Best Show made a parody song inspired by Sun Kil Moon that I found pretty damn funny: http://thebestshow.net/episode/worst-100-characters-percy-hobart-mike-krol/ (Starts with about 33:00 minutes left). Unrelated to that, but then Scharpling big upped Hollywood Handbook a little later.

     

    Andy Daly saying the Iron Sheik was funny made me laugh more than it should have. Amanda Sitko sounds like Lauren Lapkus' older sister. Andy Daly turning very Danny Mahoney was beautiful, and I'd like to see J Dawg added to his catalog of characters.

    He's a funny guy but even Kevin Pollack seems aware of the general hackiness of impressions. I don't think anyone straight up looks down on impressions, but if that's where all the pride in your work comes from...? Bummer.

     

     

    When I think of Jay Mohr, I think of a career propped up on Walken impersonations. Then I wonder how many people other than Pollack and Mohr tried propelling their careers on such an impersonation. I bet that shit was almost unbearable in clubs in the late 80s/early 90s. ::clicks the link to check it out:: Oh goddamn it! He has the fake mustache on the stick as his show's thumbnail. There is no way this goes well... Yeah, he sounds like he's perpetually stuck in high school, like not caring and seeming too cool for something makes him the coolest guy in the room and surrounds himself with minions who buy into his sycophancy.

     

    Completely unrelated, but back to the show... shit, that transition from Doug to the mayonnaise recipe was beautiful... not even acknowledging the phone call that just happened. Straight into the bit.

     

    Also, RC has every right to insult Coke.

    Yup doing well, and yes the weird clause rang thru my head as I walked away from her.

    Doing well since surgery, thank you. Evidently I had one of those lucky cancers. It was big, it was attached to my kidney, and it wasn't reaching out. So they took the tumor and part of the kidney. I would only need chemo or radiation if there was regrowth. So far, no new cancer. (yay)

     

    She did mention that this tour was a run-up to the special, it was a great night!

    Excellent accounts on all fronts. Wish I could see her, but I unfortunately live nowhere close to where she's touring (live in SE Asia). I'm pretty bummed because I flew into the US this past November for a wedding, and I could have seen her when she was in NY, but I had already booked my flight from NYC to NC for that afternoon. It helped to remind me to check all cultural events before booking tickets. And it was the now powerfully infamous topless Tig show! GAH!

    Mohr has always been a dick bag. Did you not listen to the WTF with Bobcat? Mohr ran off with Bobcat's wife. They tear into him pretty good.

    That's true. I guess the WTF interview made him seem a bit more human than in the past, but I had forgotten about that. Had no idea about the tragedy since I don't pay too much attention to him (only knew about the interview with the football player because a friend posted it on "the facebook," to quote Doug).

    It was a weird episode. I actually kind of liked Jay at one point, but he seems more and more bitter. He went nuts about Doug Stanhope during this one too.

     

    To summarize, he talked about going on CBB and how there was 'some guy' there doing a shitty bit about looking at pictures on his phone of his baby and that he felt like he got frozen out like they didn't want him there. "But wait, I'm the guest. I could just leave you to die on the vine with your shitty premise." Legit seemed like he couldn't remember that it was Besser he was with.

     

    About 1 hour, 15 minutes in.

    That's so weird. Must have been trying to save face while he was on it. I remember feeling almost empathetic for Mohr on the WTF interview, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Then he interviewed a college football player from my favorite team and was really high on the guy, and I thought, "Maybe Mohr ain't so bad." I'll give this is a listen. Guess he's going in the opposite direction of the Richard Lewis and Marc Marons of the world.

    On a side note, anyone hear Jay Mohr's podcast a couple of weeks back when he started talking shit about the guy he was on Comedy Bang Bang with. He couldn't remember who it was. It was Besser. How disconnected is Jay Mohr that he can't remember Matt Besser? It's Matt Besser.

    Really? I have no plans on downloading his podcast, but any summary of what was said? From what I remember, I was surprised by how willing Jay went along with everything, and I feel like the message board kind of felt the same way.

    I did say "hello," but there was a bunch of people lined up for merch, so the moment was quick.

    It felt weird on my part, I had a little agoraphobia related anxiety on my part. So I think what I blurted out to Tig was, "Thankyouforgettingmethroughthislastyear,todayismyoneyearanniversarysincecancersurgery,andeachweekyou'relikemysherpagetting methroughit."

     

    (thank you for getting me through this last year, today is my one anniversary since cancer surgery. And each week you're like my sherpa getting me through it.)

     

    Tig was very gracious, said she is now three years past her cancer, and made mention that I looked well.

     

    Enough about that moment, she kicked ass! It was a small room, and she really owned it. I'm not going to spoil any of it. I suggest to anybody with the opportunity, go see her live.

     

    That's really cool, and really happy to hear it sounds like you're doing well since the surgery. I only mentioned the "weird" thing because in one of the intros (I think last week's) she added on the "and don't be weird" part at the end of her intro plug.

     

    Did she mention if this is stuff that will be in the HBO special?

    My favorite thing about this board is how Stan shit on everyone for being fanboys last week and then goes total fanboy this week.

     

    Also, I feel like with the exception of over the top character voices, every argument based on Adomian (intelligent, references, research, etc.) is like reading and hearing why people used to think Dennis Miller was funny.

    Beachpoop's questions are hilariously long sometimes

    I love me some David, but this is a very accurate statement. I think it was his most recent solo episode, but I timed one question that went about a minute and forty seconds with his various asides, explanations, and clarifications. He loves him some stream of consciousness at times. But big time congratulations to him.

     

    Loved Maria throwing Tig for a loop by talking about her body. Del LaRue singing as a creepy casting director made me chortle more than it should as well. Dig Tig, Maria offering to take photos of Tig and cooking for, the Lita Ford story, and trying salmiak... This was a top-shelf thoughts level of Professor Blastoff. 2015 is a banner year for the gang.
