What I do recommend doing is downloading it just to listen to a story Jim tells about a birthday party he was booked to tell stand-up at. It was one of a couple answers he offered to the question, "If you wrote your life story, what experiences have you had that people wouldn't believe actually happened?" The story involves Eddie Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino, and Warren Beatty.
The story starts with 23:20 left in the podcast and wraps up with 11:15 left. Well worth 12 minutes.
Yeah, that certainly was a great story, but I found the rest of the interview just as interesting/funny. I love Jeffries' humor, and he is one of the best storytellers out there. Also listened to the Bert Kreischer interview. I've heard him on a couple other podcasts, and watched one of his travel shows. He is so funny, and seems like the most fun guy to hang out with ever.
I played Johnnie's linked video as background while doing fairly mindless work. Johnnie, I really hope you posted a random episode that happened to suck. The guy spent at least 45 minutes telling a very boring story about a long distance relationship breakup. I held on waiting for the good part, because the annoying white guy kept saying "here comes the great part," but I had to bail. He could have told that story in 1 sentence, "she broke up with me because she got stuck paying for food and drinks when I thought the meals were comped."

Yeah I listened to it and then 1/2 of another episode, and them thought a great podcast idea would be a some bros sitting around and discussing literature or philosophy or pretty much anything other then generic bro stories.

It could work.
Did they ever get to a point, or the payoff to the story?

It did take forever to get to the point. I'll give you that. I've just been listening to the podcast since about episode 32/33 on Stitcher. I guess you kind of have to be more familiar with the dudes in it over time. It's a sort of 'turn off your brain' background noise podcast. Nothing as mindful as Jonah Keri or Greg Proops or Marc Maron, but I'm certainly entertained.

Yeah, that was why I went with the "unless you are really interested in him" disclaimer up top. There are some episodes of Katz's podcast I mentally mark as "pay attention to" and others as "background noise".
Kreischer was in the "pay attention to" class. The story of when he was in Russia killed me (pretty sure it's with Katz).
“All I'm sayin' is, he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall.”
I used to really enjoy the "After the Thrones" podcasts from Grantland, but I listened to the preview episode yesterday, and it was excruciating. Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan are about .001% as funny as they think they are.

Katz reps Jay Mohr, who's podcast I also enjoy and Jay had him on a while back. It was like listening to a therapy session. Katz really seems to know his shit and how to handle his people.
I used to listen to Mohr regularly and every Katz episode was pretty damn good. But I don't think I could take him more than a few times a year. He's just an annoying guy to listen to.
I find that I generally get burned out by single personality-focused podcasts. Adam Carola, Joe Rogan, Jay Mohr, Mike O'Meara*, Marc Maron... A few others like Bill Burr where I just never gave it more than a few episodes.
* O'Meara is a strange one... Former local DJ that split with his long-time partner... And I've listened to him for a long time. Something lately... I think it's that they put out an episode every day. I just really got sick of listening to them.

That's at least the third time I've heard Kreischer tell that story, and it isn't any less funny than the first. This version was a bit different. I never heard the part about robbing his classmates or the mafia dude spitting vodka into the non-Russian speaking teacher's eyes. Previously, he told a lot more about his friendship with the first guy he met. Even if you don't know Kreischer, I highly recommend listening to this episode, or any interview of him. Rolling Stone planned on writing an article about Florida State being the biggest party school, but they heard so many stories about Kreischer, they ended up writing an article about him instead. That was the inspiration for the move Van Wilder.

Yeah, one of the more interesting bits of comedian drama revolves around the falling out between Kreischer and Mohr over what could charitably be described as a misunderstanding about the ownership of a Tracy Morgan-related story. If I recall, Kreischer is the one who actually experienced it, but Jay does an OK Morgan and he claims he asked Bert if he could use the story on stage... Bert says Jay was vague and/or that Jay kind of bullied him into acquiescing.
Jay is not well liked by a lot of comedians and he seems genuinely perplexed and pained by it. There's a pretty good episode with Katz where they really break a lot of it down.

Does Greenwald do the thing where every sentence has to include a hit-you-over-the-head metaphor referencing something from the show? I had to stop reading his recaps because of that.

One of the sports podcasts I listen to (The Steve Czaben show) regularly references a time when they interviewed Jay Mohr at the SuperBowl and he farted throughout the entire segment.
I love Louie's last project, Horace and Pete. (Well worth every dollar.) He describes the making of the show, step by step, in this podcast, and it is great.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Over a long time ago
Oh yeah…

I was thinking about watching it, but the money put me off. After hearing the interview, I have to buy it. I've just gotten so accustomed to everything being free (legal or otherwise), that it feels wrong to pay $30 for a TV show. I love Louie, this show sounds amazing and the cast is as good as it gets.

My only gripe is that the episodes clock in around 35 minutes and seem short to me. Not really a criticism that the time seems to fly by while I'm listening.

This is the danger of these "podcast in real time" vehicles. It was, ultimately, just a pretty depressing look at a family that lost a family member 40 years ago. I mean, I found the episodes around the cadaver dogs interesting. And there seems like a genuine lead in terms of that fancy car and the group camping nearby.
But, if all we get is.. "This is hard... Sorry."
Yuck.

Hearing David Chang on the Simmon's podcast inspired me to finally make something from his cookbook (I've had it for 5 or 6 years, and have always been too intimidated). Did the Pan-Roasted Mussels with OS (see the recipe here). Turned out fantastic...
howard wrote:If a recipe or recipe book intimidates you, I won't be trying it.
The Ramen recipe alone is just about its own chapter....starting with the Ramen Broth, which is about a page long.
But I'm going to be trying more of them, after how good the mussels turned out. Of course, starting with fresh Penn Cove Mussels (from about 60 miles north of here) helps...
Didn't buy the book for the same reason. I'm pretty insecure about asian food in general and that was just a whole different level. Far too many things I'd never worked with to start using four at once and three more in sub-recipes.

Feels like he's been preserved in amber since the 90's. He dropped "player hate".
As crazy and annoying as rapaport was, it worked better than the conversation with Kilborn. Or maybe he has just been so media repressed for so long he just had too much to get out.
Also, I wonder if his role in Old School was acting or just playing himself.

I'm convinced Kilborn only has one gear. Smarmy.
