why is podcasting so hard on relationships?

[Trembling Eagle]

I just found out Comedy and Everything Else guys had a member leave
(stopped listening awhile back)

but not only them al ot of the 2 and 3 ppl team podcasts I've listened to end up falling apart overtime
I think its because one person ends up doing all the editing and uploading

[Pastor Josh]

I just started listening.  I downloaded a bunch of random episodes with guests I liked, and one of the first ones I listened to had Stephanie saying something that didn't seem like a joke about how Jimmy and Todd really worked on being friends and were committed to their relationship.  It made me sad that they seemed to have a falling out or something.

good luck getting through the rest of those episodes


It became un-listenable to me after awhile

[Pastor Josh]

I just listened to the most recent episode with Doug Benson.  You'd think someone who claims to be able to talk politics, such as Mr. Dore, would know a damn thing about politics.  It was like listening to some poorly-informed stoners talk about things they half-heard on Olbermann.  Oh, wait--that's exactly what it was.

I'm on his side on issues and I couldn't stand listening to them

Their political talk was way better during the election. Since Todd left I think it's been spotty. Any episode with Patton or PFT is good and the recent one with Marc Maron was pretty good too.

[Pastor Josh]

TE, yeah, they haven't said anything politically I disagree with.  I'm a little miffed about something he said in this one about flu vaccines causing some condition.  It's true there was a link in 1976 between the swine flu vaccine and Guilliame-Berret (?) syndrome, but not knowing that's not the case anymore means you aren't qualified to talk about the issue.

Not to mention that they talked about the Gallgher thing again, as they did last time Doug Benson was one, and they repeated some of their conversation pretty much word for word.

not even a direct link

it's that same kind of empty headiness they are on the conservatives about.

Bill Mahr's real anti medicine, pro quackery the same way.

[Pastor Josh]

I have to admit, it bugged me when Dore said in a recent episode that there's no room for debate about the existence of God.  It reminded me of some of my close-minded colleagues who say things like there are no such things as atheists because no one can really not believe in God.  I'm probably not going to be a regular listener for much loner.

exactly

I had to stop before I started to hate them.

I stopped listening maybe half a year ago, in favor of the Adam Carolla podcast. I never thought that their semi-political format worked all that well. I mean sure some comedians are well informed and can handle these discussions, like a Patton Oswalt, but you just can't expect it to work every time with all the guests. I ended up thinking that more than half of the episodes fell into that weird uninformed and kind of boring area. When they talked about comedy it was great, they just strayed from it way too much, which I guess was what they were trying to do.

[Pastor Josh]

Dangero, I cannot condone the Corolla thin (I'll keep you in prayer), but you're spot-on with the rest of it.  People like Patton can have in-depth and very insightful conversations on any topic.  His commentary on the Leno thing was especially interesting.  But the regulars sound like the liberal version of my church folks who only get news from having Fox on in the background.

[Dan in Chicago]

Don't get me wrong, Pastor Josh, I don't agree with Carolla often at all. I just found in the end that listening to his opinions, though they were not mine at all, was more interesting and enlightening than just listening to some of Comedy and Everything Else's guests repeat whatever the current liberal thing is. I think though Carolla has some opinions that are just completely unacceptable, over all he can back most of them up with some interesting points, and I just felt like I was getting a lot more out of the podcast.

[Pastor Josh]

Sorry.  I was being kind of a jerk.  My only exposure to him was the episode he interviewed Bob Odenkirk.  As I said at the time, it was like hearing Bugs Bunny interview Evelyn Waugh.  Both great in their way, but with absolutely nothing connecting them.  It seemed like towards the end Bob was just mocking him.

TE, sorry for high-jacking your topic.

[Dan in Chicago]

I haven't actually heard that one but I think I get what you mean. In the end I think it is just that a show with two separate talents lasting as long as it did, is fairly impressive. I think they too may have realized that they were kind of losing steam and that led to the issue.
