Nerdist's hosting by Chris Hardwick and perpetual appearances by Matt Mira alone should make it bottom five-worthy.

Joe Posnanski's Poscast (now w/ Michael Scur every episode, I think) just resurfaced in the last month; love listening to Joe and Mike discuss salient sports topics, and then complete nonsense, for about 1.5 hrs.

Like Doug Loves Movies, this is a wholly guest-centric listen for me: listen if Rory Scovel, James Admoian, or someone special (e.g. a PFT) is a guest; otherwise, delete.

(1) Never Not Funny;

Is that photo Edgar Wright? Because if it is, then he looks absolutely nothing like how I envisioned him in my head; I kind of pictured him looking like Nick Hornby, now that I think of it.

I find Sal to be consistently funny, whereas I can't remember the last time I legitimately laughed at anything Simmons either said or wrote (and I was a big fan for years). These are the only BS reports I listen to any more, along w/ interesting/smart guests (e.g. Klosterman, Sepinwall, Gladwell) who have to dumb it…

I thought this was one of the most boring CBB episodes in memory.  I'm not sure I cracked a smile, let alone laughed, and I'm usually on board with butthole babies. 

I've gotten on board the show recently, but it's still a guest-dependent listen for me; I usually find Besser to be the least enjoyable part of whatever endeavor he's participating in, dating back to the UCB tv show (speaking of which, when the hell is UCB S3 going to be available on dvd or streaming?). 

Last week's B.S. Report with Robert Smigel is essential listening for any Smigel fans. 

Way fucking late on this now, forgot about the whole move-to-Mon thing, but yeah, David has become (or maybe always been) the worst part of the show (along w/ the occasional shitty guest).  The obtuse podmass reviewer consistently just ignores Kyle's hilarious character work/overall hilarity.  "'Tumping Buckets' is my…

I've loved Kyle spiraling deeper and deeper into complete madness as the PB road tour has gone on during Name That Punky. 

I generally find that it takes 9 to 10 skips holding down FF on the ipod shuffle to skip through the average Bill Burr ad read, although he tends to double-up the ads; the 2nd ad in such a case is generally a little briefer (about 8 skips). 

Agreed, and Norm telling fat jokes about himself might be my favorite sub-part of any current podcast.  "My doctor told me to open up and say 'Oink'". 

Where the hell was Norm MacDonald Live this week?  Realized as the week passed and no episode showed up that this has become my current most-looked-forward-to entertainment after Game of Thrones. 

I think the reason that the reason Farts & Pro 2 and 3 largely didn't work for me is that when the focus of a group is primarily anti-comedy comedy, it can be hilarious for a while but can lose steam fast, especially when the focus is on proactively creating awful comedy/characters (and making each other, as opposed…

That's like saying "…plus, I'm not a huge of pleasure."

RIP DJ Douggpound (for the time being at least) on The Champs, your drops were consistently hilarious.  Regardless, excellent drop-less Champs return episode with Reggie Watts this week.

It's great to see perennial funnyman Norm MacDonald back, this show keeps bringing the laughs week after week; only one complaint about the show: lose the fucking douchebag.

The reviewer nailed it, apart from the part where he called the Murphy character "very funny", unless he was using "very funny" ironically, like TBS does. 

I was also a little disappointed when I saw the PFT/Moynihan pairing when the episode was downloading, usually better to leave a classic alone instead of trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice (see: Farts & Pro 2), but I should know at this point that it's not really catching lightning in a bottle when Tompkins…
