Jesus effing Christ, get Greg Fitzsimmons and Sam Simon together anywhere near an anniversary of 9/11 and it's Air America circa 2004 all over again. Fucking ponderous.

You owe it to yourself to stop everything immediately and go get the episode of Doug Loves Movies where the guests are Cake Boss, El Chupakabra and Don Demilo.

It's probably funnier if your already familiar with the characters, but tears are literally streaming down my face from laughter right now.

Oh man, that shit was the perfect storm of insanity.

I can't wait to listen to Matt Besser's improv4humans podcast. It's getting hard for me to save it for my commute.

I spend most of my days at this point driving to and from work listening to WTF and periodically Doug Loves Movies (I'll listen to the recommended below tomorrow). WTF is just really well done. I've listened to a couple dozen, but many more where that came from. Today was Judd Apatow. I was particularly entertained by the Norm McDonald WTF.....good stuff there.

Not a funny podcast, and almost worthy of a DC move [more for it generating more interest there, than it being a shitty DC topic], but the most recent 'This American Life' is fascinating.

It's a little different from TAL's MO, as it covers only a single subject, in only two acts.

The first half consists of Mike Daisey's monologue about visiting Foxconn in Shenzen China. The second half deals with fact corrrection and follow-up.

For those unfamilar, Foxconn is the company that makes most of the consumer electronics we consume. Of recent interest, the Ipod and Ipad are manufactured there.
Foxconn employs 300-450K, and Shenzen went from being a medium-sized city of around 350K in the early 80s, to a megalopolis of 11+M today following a trade agreement where China granted corporations free reign to develop a manufacturing base in the area.

Of note, obviously there is the economies of scale. Daisey paints vibrant pictures of the size of facilities and commissaries. Also, the fact that everything is hand made. With labor so cheap, anything that can be made by hand is made by hand. Workers being more fungible and reliable than machinery. Daisey poignantly points out how we pine for the old days of hand-crafting, when the reality is more is hand-made today than at any point in history. Only, instead of a craftsman lovingly crafting a work of art, it's 100s of thousands of faceless workers toiling on endless assembly lines for little pay.

A third prong is his interactions with 12-15 yo workers.

Patton Oswalt on Adam Carolla [after Aceman makes an analogy about young guys entering fame not being prepared to go from seeking pussy to having pussy seek you] : "You're like a meth addict who's stolen the idea of poetry. You're doing donuts with it in a parking lot and burning out all of the gears. And they're like 'would you just give us poetry back?'

"But, . . pussy OUT OF A CANNON!!"'

"Oh, God!! He threw a rod on that one"

Bald Bryan: "A true beat-off poet."

What's the best Android app for podcasts? Anyone know?

I would like to know how much vagina Oswalt gets thrown at him. Funny dude, kinda looks like the lead singer for 3 doors down. I am sure he got plenty since that Rat Movie came out.
[Reply]

One thing I've noticed that is unavoidably evident. A lot of the community's 'indy kings' are transformed into different folk in Carolla's presence.

Tons of Maron and Oswalt fanbois love to go on message boards and trash Carolla, but you put Mark Maron, Bill Burr, Kevin Smith, Chris Hardwick. etc. on the mike with Carolla and they turn into regular dudes just enamored with hanging out with him. Its a subtle but perceptible shift.

Regarding your question, he's been married 6 1/2 years with a 3yo kid.

Seems from his standup to be a guy satisfied with that life.

Carolla is Def Ed Hardy F-yeah Oswalt is D&D heart disease at 32 y.o. The Nerdist is delightful

No, is it good? I use BeyondPod which is OK.
