Eh, I listened to some Doughboys out of order at first and I wasn't like 'this is impenetrable'. There were just a few things I didn't really understand why they were happening.

Replace 'good food' with 'good anything'. Nick defends LA in all respects.

Haven't received an invitation, unlike Hal Incanandeza

Howl is kind of dead in the water anyway - I'm just not that into limited-run podcasts or mini-series, and the business model seems kinda fucked - there's so much free podcast stuff out there, and the Howl app is terrible. I dunno. I still subscribe but if Earwolf sold me the live CBBs for $50 I'd probably be done.

The 'TV Sports' music you refer to is, I think, from either Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64, I cannot recall which. Maybe it's F-Zero. Some sort of driving console game from the 90s.

It might be a hard pass - and indeed there's some clunkier episodes around - but I suggest giving it another shot with an earlier episode (and since you mentioned Love, the Wendy's episode with Paul Rust might be a good starter). The inside jokes of the podcast are definitely there, but I don't think they're totally…

It's not like Sarah was an ubiquitous standup - she had an HBO special and Jesus Is Magic - but I suspect the point was that with a title like Jesus is Magic, her standup is clearly blasphemous?

The thing that gives me hope for Pete's backstory is that it's only been him telling it, and while Pete's character seems trustworthy, he was also willing to create a very elaborate series of lies for his mother. Extratextually I know that Pete Holmes often talked about wanting to become some sort of pastor when he…

I've just spent the last few minutes thinking about what a brilliant character detail that was in Mad Men for that character to be an aspiring cartoonist.

Finally saw one of these on Sunday night.

I've been to the Comedy Cellar a couple times, and while this club is far more desperate and sad than the Cellar, it's still generally a night of people you've never heard of or seen unless some big-name comic drops in for a set. As I understand it, open-mikes tend to be like this - the only people who generally see…

The Cheesecake Factory was offhandedly mentioned by his mother earlier in the episode, and while I've never been there, my suspicion is that that is the kind of restaurant where you can order an entire cake.

My cable provider didn't get Comedy Central until the very end of MST3K on CC - I want to say it was spring or summer 1995, and the show at that point was in reruns on Saturday afternoon, then CC moved it to either Saturday morning or very late Sunday night (or perhaps both, my memory has been underdrawn). When they…

This, and while I haven't re-watched the new Mr. Shows in the way that I did when Mr. Show first came out on DVD, I'm not 20 anymore.

Oh, for some reason I hadn't realized that those were going to be Howl eps - the SXSW episodes used to be free. Luckily I subscribe to Howl.

The flyer reflects this ancient reality but the show is set in 2017 (there's a quip about Bill Cosby's presence being downplayed)

Given the ratings Review got, I'm just happy that we've got 3 seasons of it. The previous iteration of Comedy Central would've canceled this after 1 season.

That was months ago. I definitely assume Andy Daly wants to make more episodes, but it's akin to someone saying they want to learn a foreign language or how to play an instrument.

That's one of the first NNF episodes I listened to, if not the first, and initially I thought it was incredibly stupid and nearly turned it off. It became brilliant, though, and I cannot explain why.

I know it'll never happen but given this apparent gap in Daly's work schedule, I would love to hear a few more episodes of the Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project.
