The info about developing Ms. Pacman, Madden, and fighting games is great. And watching footage of politicians being outraged at video game violence never grows old. "Kids shouldn't see blood in video games! Now let's go bomb the shit out of Iraq."

Just watched the first episode last night. Definitely felt forced. 3 of my favorite comics/podcasters in the first episode, as Tom Segura and Joey Diaz were the guests. I wonder if I'd enjoy it if I didn't "know" the people. Especially the scenes where he Facetimes his wife. Hearing them banter on his podcast so much, there was just a lot unsaid going on, especially in her reactions. Great premise for a show, Bert lives in a cabin in the middle of the woods, invites comedian friends to join him for a couple days and they do some wacky things. The situations were ridiculous, like butchering an emu with chainsaws. I love watching Tom and Bert interact, but it was totally forced. Joey Diaz might be the funniest man alive, but there were very few Joey moments in there. I could have watched 30 minutes of Joey talking about sex in marriages with the spiritual healer woman. Some great guests coming up, really looking forward to seeing Ms. Pat. If you haven't seen Ms. Pat, definitely check her out. I'd recommend a podcast interview or listening to her read her book. Knowing her life story might be necessary to truly appreciate her standup.

The deon cole anthony anderson episode is phenominal...the joey diaz is the worst of the bunch.

I really enjoyed that when it was on, and Briga Heelan is sneaky hot.

I want to echo what Syb said about the stuff with Bert and his wife (LeAnne). I've just heard them talk to each other too much to buy those Facetimes.

Looking forward to getting into more episodes.

The Miss Pat episode was hysterical to me. The worst was Bobby Lee (he is unbearable) and Donnell Rawlings. That’s saying something considering one episode had Kaitlyn Jenner as a guest.

It is bizarre and really creative.

A crazy set up and while some of it fell flat, there's enough strangeness to make it worthwhile if you like absurdity. Try it after some edibles.

Although by episode 7 it starts to feel a bit padded out. Could have been better as a 4 parter, but still interesting.

The interviews with the four band members all seemed to be recent, and they either played part of their contribution to the song or the interviewer played it for them while recounting the time and place of the song and the making of the album. Stipe's reaction to his isolated vocals was a highlight, as was Bill Berry's to

In the last episode, I was considering whether Borgov was going to defect by the discussion Beth and the State Department guy had on the plane.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I've always enjoyed that podcast, but had no idea it was a series now, and that was great seeing them talk about that song in depth.
