Spoon Nation represent! I caught up on a lot of missed episodes during a slog of a train ride this week and, well, Podmass nailed it with the "aggressive antagonism" between Mitch and Lil Wiges. It's the best aspect of the show and I always crack up when Mitch lets out an exasperated "What THE fuck!" at the smallest…

Joss Whedon needling Jonah Ray on misogyny is an exercise in the pot calling the kettle black, but a while ago when Jonah Ray was a horrible DJ as opposed to being a horrible comedian, he DJ'd a party Whedon was at and Whedon called him out on not playing requests from his ladyfriend and Ray replying that's because…

Fuck off, Jonah Ray or Mrs. Jonah Ray.

I'm truly going to miss the AE podcast (only 2 PPVs left to cover!) However, a worthy replacement is the New Generation Podcast and perfect timing as those blokes are just now at the meaty part of their timeline - the beginning of 1997.

That interview was a huge letdown. He let Michaels fall into the minutia of name-dropping lunch meetings with mid-level network executives nobody's ever heard of. It just felt like 2 hours of fluff.

Wait, the Passion Pit guy is gay? Wasn't the genesis of the band a romantic gesture for his then girlfriend? Not that someone who once had a girlfriend can't eventually come out, but this is all a little confusing!

Jonah Hill sucks! Oh, wait, I'm sorry, Jonah Ray! Sucks!

In all fairness, he's bad in every single thing I've seen or heard him in.

Here's a third one: talking over someone else in an attempt to be funny and awkwardly grinding the conversation to a halt in the process.

"Dude, nobody tells me anything!" - John Carpenter in every interview recently

You all are sleeping on Detroit style pizza. Buddy's is the main purveyor and totally nails the delicious middleground between cracker thin crust and Chicago-style deep dish.

To the untrained eye, Mulaney and Blake Griffin are talented comedian guests and Neal Brennan is an audience member seated too close to said guests.

As a relatively new member of Spoon Nation, I have to ask: is there a Doughboys episode where they absolutely hated the experience? I'm about 4-5 episodes in and their attitudes have ranged from "meh it was alright" to "pretty dang good!"

With none of the acting/comedy chops or stage presence! I really like the short videos O'Brien does but you can't compare him to Mike Myers whatsoever.

The audience in any roast looks to be made of just the most basic LA sheeple. Tanking in a room like that has to be a positive.

Every once in a while I'll think of Norm's delivery of "ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!" and crack myself up.

I just discovered Doughboys and the Chipotle episode had me in tears. Mike Hanford bragging about his joke about the bird landing on their table and him saying "here's the manager if you have any questions" cracking up everyone around them was simply amazing. More Mike Hanford plz.

He's just milking the ever-loving fuck out of it. The actual interview was over a month ago and he's been prefacing his episodes since with clips of him talking about Lorne with other guests over the years and teasing that "it's coming."

I can't disagree more. Netflix's original programming feels to me like watered down, copy of a copy of prestige TV. All those shows you mentioned don't come close to holding a candle to the bar set by The Sopranos, Mad Men, Deadwood, etc. Not even close.

Roddy Piper was a fantastic improviser in his own right and came up with a lot of his own amazing lines in They Live. Carpenter's said Piper had a laundry list of phrases he's come up with over the years but never was able to fit into his wrestling promos. The bubblegum line being one of them that made it into the…
