TBS ...there can be only one
« on: October 24, 2007, 10:19:17 AM »
Guys with Feelings... I honestly tried to listen to 7 of their "skits".
I couldn't make it through half of any of them.
Not even the short ones!

The Best Show is premium grade, fellas. Like a Vox or Grey Goose.
Guys With Feelings comes in a plastic jug. Like Pov or Leeds.

Last year I went to a show at the Fake Gallery in LA. By pure chance I ended up sitting next to GWF's own Jason Nash. I recognised his voice immediately because this was during my three week listening stint with that podcast. At that time GWF had a string of great guest appearances (Jen Kirkman, Paul F Tompkins, Jerry Minor, David Cross...) I talked to him for a little while before and after the show and, to his credit, he seemed like a nice guy (or at least courteous to a stranger).

Even that nice run in couldn't keep me interested in that show. When they didn't have a good guest they just ended up whining and complaining about their lives of luxury. They seemed really amused by themselves...to an annoying degree. But the real deal breaker for me was when they called up the girlfriend of Paul F Tomkins and started to ask her very personal questions about their love life. YUCK! It was one of the creepiest violations of a friendship I'd ever heard of.
That was the last show I heard.

Boo to GWF

I beseech Tom to throw all these comedy nerd podcasts onto the "You're Boring" list for wasting Best Show airtime.

I used to listen to GWF religiously whenever it first started. There's some good stuff in there, but it doesn't hold my attention anymore.

I liked it better when it was Pete, Jeff and Jason. Back in the good ol days.

Get ready to meet my little desktop recycle bin.

Thank you, Congolia.
I knew it wasn't right when I was typing.

Once you go Mac. You never go back.

Oh Crumbs,

I haven't listened to this week's show yet (I'm on break at a work computer right now). I just found out that there was a GWF appearance. I thought this thread showed up as someones random thought.

PFT and  Guys with feelings on the Best Show? I'm looking forward to hearing the podcast.
