why is podcasting so hard on relationships?

[Trembling Eagle]

Carolla has a talent for sure

It's a lot like Todd Glass for me in that they are guys that can walk you through, clearly, their way of thinking. Even if you don't agree they get you there. It sounds easy but I think so much of art and entertainment is just trying to communicate.

Tighter, funnier, better produced.

So did they explain why Todd left?  If not I just assume that he split to concentrate on road work and comedy.  Sad to see him go, though.

As for the podcast I think it's pretty good.  The discussions are smart and when they talk about the comedy world it's awesome.

 Todd left to go on tour with David Cross and quit the podcast when he got back, I can't help but think that Cross got in his ear about playing second banana to Dore but that's just my theory. I'll agree with fonpr that Jimmy Dore's radio show is better for politics than the C&EE podcast. He does it with David Feldman who wrote for pre-insanity Dennis Miller as well as pre-insanity Bill Maher.

Something odd must have happened, based on the way it's referred to/stepped around both on CAEE and other podcasts, like last weeks CDR Radio.

If David Cross offered me a spot on his tour, which I believe was his first one in years, and than told me that I could do better than what I was currently doing, I would definitely think about what he was saying. I mean Jimmy Dore is no slouch but if David Cross made Todd any kind of offer for a project or anything like that I would have a hard time seeing any comedian not taking it.

Todd Glass is a great guy. We went to say hi and good show after his set in Bloomington, and he talked to us for quite a bit and even did the Tom Jones impression he used to do on Comedy and Everything Else. All this after he had had to deal with a corporate Christmas Party contingent in the crowd that kept talking loudly and generally pissing him off during the show.

I have to admit, though, I am kind of getting interviews-with-comedians'ed out and need a break from it. Doug Benson shows up on pretty much every comedy related podcast. I don't have anything against him, but I really need a break from Doug Benson.

I do still like the comedy podcasts with the comedy - Comedy Death Ray and such. And I would listen to a Pod F. Tompcast for sure.

My wife and I met Todd, Jimmy, and Steph after their show at Bridgetown last year after a show, they were really nice and when we got outside they asked us for a ride so we drove them across town and then they invited us in to a party at the hotel so we went and understandably felt out of place because we were the only ones there that hadn't performed that night so Steph hung out with us until we left which was shortly after we got there. I think they were burning sage or something in the back of my van.

Been bouncing around the idea of a Seattle-area comedy podcast before I started regularly listening to the Best Show (though after hearing the S&W CD collections.)  I do want to make this happen, even if it has to be solo.. but it's important to have someone else to tell you when your ideas are great or, more importantly, when they're not.

As far as the relationship thing, I have only three tenets
a) no sex, especially during the podcast
b) I'm a taken man, sorry.
c) But I will treat you to great teriyaki at Mr. & Mrs. Wok next door. The Mango Cashew chicken (or tofu) is to die for.

About a month or six weeks ago on CAEE Jimmy mentioned in passing that one reason Todd gave was that he felt he sounded stupid on the podcast. I can't remember how he phrased it, but I got the impression that perhaps Todd thought that the political stuff was taking over the show and that he couldn't hold his own compared to Jimmy in that arena. Which would be unfortunate if true, cause as you guys have said, Dore can get pretty shrill and extreme in his views (the 9/11 stuff -- 'just asking the question', the Swine flu discussions). Todd on the other hand didn't have such strongly formed opinions but seemed more thoughtful sometimes. In any case it's a shame cause they worked well together.

Like you guys I prefer the actual comedy talk but the usual suspects can get boring. The episode with David Spade surprised me. His stories about his early career were revealing and self-deprecating in a way I totally didn't expect.

Yes!  The Spade interview was fantastic.  His story about revisiting his old hometown in a leather jacket and a stack of cash killed me.  The Jeaneane Garofallo two-parter was a great listen too if you like the political stuff.

I actually thought that Todd DID hold his own in the discussions.  Politics weren't his first love but he was a bright guy and he had things to say.  Plus his comedy bits were hilarious.  His Tom Jones always made me laugh.  The three of them had a great dynamic and I'm sad to see him gone.

I always thought that the great thing about Todd's political insights was that he never really watched all of the news or read all of the articles that Jimmy and Steph did but when they would breifly explain something that they saw or read to him he would arrive at the same conclusion that they did and word it better off the cuff than they did when they'd prepared to talk about it.

You can hear Todd Glass on anything, any podcast, and just get a feeling for how great of a speaker he can be. He can turn any mundane story into something you genuinely want to hear about. He's just got a real gift for giving things meaning.

I love Adam Carolla (in general) but I think an hour long daily podcast is a bad idea even for him. Especially with no real format. As for Comedy and Everything Else... I guess the nicest way I can put this is to say that I don't think that the shows title is an accurate representation of the shows content. Politics and Nothing Else (especially nothing funny) would be a better title, but I doubt they'll take my advice.
