It used to be written about on Podmass here all the time and I was into a bunch of other shows and had always just kinda skimmed over the rave reviews it got every week. Finally I downloaded an episode (episode 155) but I totally misinterpreted Aukerman's tone when he said that he and Patton Oswalt were going to talk…

The trouble is that @midnight was a panel show just for that purpose and it's gone now. There are some panel-ish shows still kicking around on American TV - To Tell The Truth, Celebrity Family Feud, and Match Game are all revivals of old shows that are currently on network TV now - but I don't see this catching on…

My guess is that WFAN doesn't archive these things, but fans certainly must've.

Sadly I missed the Beningo or Somers in late night days, but I do remember listening to Marc Malusis or Tony Paige on at that time - while I'm sure the younger generation may have drifted away, I'm sure people still call.

While Noel claims that there is a lot of 'great footage' of Mike and The Dog, most of the documentary is about their rise to radio stardom in the early 90s but most of the filmed stuff is from their YES network show in the 2000s. I was a little disappointed they couldn't dig up old recordings from that time. The…

One thing that turned me off slightly is when I watched the YES simulcast, Francesa would hang up on the callers well before he stopped addressing them, so when you listen on the radio it sounds like the caller is stunned into silence by Francesa's brilliant retort, but actually they've been unable to respond. I…

The 'new takes' come from the fact that sports is a cylical thing, but I agree that anything that happened before those two got on the air will be extremely well-trod ground (e.g. Mays vs Mantle arguments).

Errol Morris did a short documentary about a guy who competes at Wing Bowl with the somewhat unlikely name of Bill Simmons, though he goes by 'El Wingador'. It's worth tracking down.

They had no knowledge of hockey and were proud of it. They knew the big 3 plus Francesa knows horse racing and Mad Dog knows tennis.

I actually recounted the podcast incorrectly - Aukerman claimed he heard Wright say this at SXSW and he confirmed that, yes, his storyboarding was that detailed.

Not only is it anti-Gino - which, while I love Gino, I get he won't be for everyone, but it's anti Traci Reardon, who has barely been on the free show in the last 2 years.

Wright revealed on today's Comedy Bang! Bang! that he storyboarded the film with the music down to the second before shooting.

Aukerman has been on i4h before, but it's been 5 years since he's done it. I'm excited to listen to this episode, and I'm also excited for the continuation of the Mopes trilogy.

The reason I thought Chuck was in his early 50s is because the farther apart siblings are in age, the less reason they have to be rivals - a gap that wide and how could they have spent much time together? I suppose Chuck functions more as a father figure to Jimmy.

I feel like Kim is supposed to be in her mid 30s, Jimmy is in his early 40s, Chuck is in his early 50s, and Howard is around 40. But even that seems to contradict some of the earlier Better Call Saul mythology.

Or alternately, writers are taking their experiences of what happens when you put a bunch of similarly-aged people together for long periods of time.

"Also it sucks that highschool clique mentality never disappears in life, even when you're in a retirement home."

It's already gotten ridiculous in this show - they can't do a Gus Fring prequel, even if they haven't really established his age.

Belknap from NNF said 'Cliff' and 'Clyffe' in the same ad read, it was impressive.

To me, the show is generally only as good as the premise and the host - LL can't spin a mediocre premise/host into gold, but IMO she has also never taken something promising and thrown it away. Since her only input into the show apart from her performance is to book guests and the show changes every week, it's just…
