I'm Kevin and I'm Carl and we listen to podcasts so you don't have to we want to remind our listeners that you check us out on who are these calm and on Facebook We're always looking for podcast suggestions of send us an email leave us a comment or post a death threat I'm today's show will be analyzing reviewing a podcast called the wait wait don't Tell Me. The episode is entitled Rachel Bloom. As always, we have both listened to the show separately. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand, so without further ado, let's find out once and for all who all these podcasts. It's show time. Oh
Starting point is 00:01:23 Thank you w a T. P. Yeah, that was actually really funny because you started cutting out there. So you're like Oh, W a tp Skype Do we have better technology than Skype? No, but this is all staying in because we're not gonna if I can redo that so No, I'm gonna redo it Anyway, what a weird way to start the podcast, right? We listened to a podcast by NPR called, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Starting point is 00:01:52 And I picked this podcast for a couple of reasons. One, it's NPR, and I think NPR mostly sucks, I wanted to goof out of it. Two, it's popular. It's a radio show, so it's not just a podcast, but they do this show in front of a live audience every week in downtown Chicago.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And there's a lot of people it sounds like at the Chase Bank Auditorium, as they're taping the show and some trying to figure out who these people are, who find this show entertaining. Yeah, I actually didn't mind this show that much. I mean, the jokes were corny here and there, but the production value is great. You can hear everybody very clearly.
Starting point is 00:02:43 They're professional drops and commercial. All right. You and I are going to disagree on this one. I have a number of examples that proves you completely talk about. This shows sucks so hard. It's fucking terrible. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:00 We always like to start off with a clip that we think best sums up the show and I hope that I don't steal your thunder here in any way But I have a clip that's actually a compilation. It's called douchey dad joke compilation Okay, and it's a little bit longer, but here is the comedy gold that comes out of NPR and wait wait, don't tell me. I'm the Mother's Day present your mom really want. Bill Curtis. Now, Crazy X Girlfriend is the show that makes stalking of an X more goofy musical fun and less
Starting point is 00:03:42 boiled rabbits. We're practically relatives, I'm sure, how are you? I'm doing very well. That's great, can I borrow some money? Hi, this is Kelby Thompson calling from Seattle Washington. Hey, Kelby, did you say? Yes, Kelby. Kelby, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:58 How are things in Seattle? It's a hot place. Well, I wasn't going to make fun of it because I'm trying not to do that to people anymore. Frankly. Politicians get a bad rap and we're not just talking about when Macklemore wraps about politicians. Hey, everybody says they want a politician with balls. Well, in Great Britain, they really do have a politician with balls because that's his last name, labor party MP Ed balls.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Were you always one of those people who wished that life were musicals, so when you were sad, you could just burst into song, and there'd be a backing band in the closet? I don't know. I can't sew. I can't sew. I can't sew.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I can't sew. I can't sew. You're the expert, obviously, on Crazy Exa Girl Friends. So naturally, we decided to ask you about crazy ex-boyfriend. Uh-huh. Just as funny, sometimes dangerous. Ha-ha-ha. Bill recovers from his Cinco de Rhymo party just in time for the listener-limbrick challenge.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Boo! Be more funny! That was the show that you thought was good, I covered. Well, I can't- Ha-ha-ha-ha. It's like, I think for, I want to say that the audience is probably like... Sinko Der Raim, oh, Kevin. That was the joke you liked at this fucking show. And the worst part about that, the reason why I clipped all those is because listen to the audience reaction.
Starting point is 00:05:23 This douche bag's like, I'm the president, your mom really wanted for my Wednesday and people erupt in a plot after. It's the funniest thing they've ever heard. I don't know how you find this many people who have never been subjected to actual comedy before. Well, yeah, I guess I wasn't admitting that I thought it was funny. I just thought that the show was well You're not back enough now You like this show. I've hold you to it I know why you backtrack again. Oh here's the thing that I loved the most about the show because I've never listened to An NPR program ever before this is the first one. So Right off the bat. They have
Starting point is 00:06:04 Bill Curtis there. Yes. And some things about Bill Curtis. All right. So I pulled this bunch of Bill Curtis clips because I fucking love this guy. So I secretly love like announcer types because I like to do that shit. It's it's fun. And I didn't realize that he was on the show or he was anything to do with anything. I don't know where the fuck I thought this guy came from, but I love watching like those detective like cold case and all those fucking shows on like A&E and whatever. And he's the voice of one of those murder shows, murder porn, if you will.
Starting point is 00:06:44 And I just I fucking love it. Like every time I hear his voice, I'm just like, I'm gonna talk about someone dying. So I- Everything sounds really important when he says it. Yeah, yeah. Like, because those murder porn shows, they're like, who gives a shit?
Starting point is 00:07:00 You know, it's like some woman got a divorce and then what a- But when he says it, you're like, oh, this is riveting. I better pay attention. Yeah, he's like some woman got a divorce and then what but when he says you're like oh this is riveting I better pay attention yeah he's like Robert stack like the unsolved mislike owns all mysteries yeah so there's a couple of them that are pretty funny I don't know it's the ones I pulled his announcement went on so long that at about the four month mark he segway right into his concessions. I just remember there's an outspan one so far that he buried her up to her neck in line and killed her. He's a little throat and left her for the police to discover. I just thought it would really it's like this guy is such a cool announcer to have on
Starting point is 00:07:43 the show that I thought it would be really funny If like we had our own like cool voice to an answer and the only cool voice to an answer that I can do is fucking down Parto so I thought it'd be really funny if we had down parto is our Announcer, you know, so he would be you know be like and now Coming up next on who all these podcasts Oh, coming up next on who all these podcasts. That's awesome. I'm all for that. All right, so I might interject is Dom Parto throughout here and then say musical guests
Starting point is 00:08:13 because it's the only type of Dom Parto impression I know how to do is Saturday Night Live in Trost. So can you do this? Can you say, we're gonna take a break while Carl has a bowel movement. We're gonna take a break as Carl has a bowel movement. We're gonna take a break as Carl has a bowel movement. Oh I like this. I like this addition to the show. All right. Yeah, so this is after right some announcements for us But it'd be really funny if that part was doing murder porn too
Starting point is 00:08:37 You know, oh yeah, are you pulling the handle of the knife right through her neck? And when the police arrived all all they found were vagina lips. He really liked to cut off labia. What was his ammo? The biggest labia collection this side of the Mississippi. With musical guests, arcade fire. Flaming Fire! Flaming lips! Flaming lips! Get up! Um, alright, so speaking of Bill Curtis, I have a clip that's, uh, number six on here.
Starting point is 00:09:16 This is where Bill Curtis gets all sing-songy for some reason. I don't know why, but the crowd erupts with laughter. It's the greatest thing to ever happen in front of a live audience. Rachel got one wrong and two right. If you have the announcer voice, you don't have to be funny or interesting. People just go go fucking nuts for it right right Murdered hung hung by an extension code Found by police
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah, I love the dude's voice though, but you know the other guy that they had on here too was fucking Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat.

Tom Bo-Dat. Tom Bo-Dat don't underestimate yourself. All right. Okay. I thought I was just... Honestly, so one of my issues with NPR, and I have a couple, we'll get into it, but one of my issues is, people who listen to NPR think they're better than everybody else. Okay. There's this whole, I don't know if you've had these conversations, but there are these people you talk to that, you know, you try to like relate to them on something, they're like, oh, I don't know, I just listened to NPR all day.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Oh, well, you must be wildly informed and intelligent and you must be amazing. And these people, they feel like they're superior because this is the programming they listen to, but I'll give you some examples here. Listen to this track number nine that I pulled they made a reference to chicken and then this music bed came on This is np on This is NPR. Kevin, you liked this fucking show with the chicken music. You like to chicken music band? That's fucking cool. Was musical guests chicken bed?
Starting point is 00:11:35 It's garbage right there. And your host. Yeah, like I said, wasn't a a wasn't a huge fan of the content per se but more the The production value You said this is the best thing I've ever heard in my favorite show, okay, I don't I don't recall saying that but that's that's That was what I heard all right. Well, yeah, there's no way that we can prove what I said because we're not So yeah, at Tom Boatett and we got Bill Curtis in here and I you know, I wish we had Robert Stack and fucking Don Pardo. They're both dead I think, but a lot of like really cool like very official sounding voices saying things about
Starting point is 00:12:27 chickens and other things that could happen when you're out and about. Well they had this guy PJ O work. PJ and PJ O work is introduced as a humorist which it always a red flag to me. Yeah, right. If you're a humorist, it means you're not funny enough to be a comedian. Right. You're a, you're a stuffy shirt, like a stuffy, yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Like you write jokes that people don't laugh at. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of humorist. So I'm a humorist. That's what you're saying. We're almost humorist, guys. Okay. So we should probably talk about the premise of this show, because it is a game show format that's wildly confusing.
Starting point is 00:13:13 There are games that go on that have colors call in and play the games, and if they win the games, they win nothing. But then the three panelists are also playing a game show at the same time in the end. They're giving a lightning round and then the lightning round determines who wins, the show, but that person wins nothing. And the lightning round is dumb because it's asking people whose job it is to stay up with the news and media. They're in media. Questions about news. with the news and media, they're in media, questions about news.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Right. So if you wanted to just play, just I pull a really quick clip, track 11, this is PGO work going through his lightning round at the end. Just a few people understand what we're talking about. All right, here we go, PGA, this is for the game. On Wednesday, the Justice Department ruled
Starting point is 00:14:03 that North Carolina's blank law violated the civil rights bathroom law on monday treasury secretary jack louis had serious action needed to be taken after blank to fault it on three hundred and sixty seven million dollars in the port reek go on Tuesday the entire city of fort mick murray was evacuated as a blank continued to buy a rubber to wildfire yes that's npr they don't even know how to do a game show that's so fucking boring What what should we do for this episode? How about we do a video we do some time of game where we we we we guess the news
Starting point is 00:14:37 What's in the news because people love? news I like to say the word News All right. Let's, I lesser something else you want to talk about. I can continue on things that I'm not real thrilled about with NPR. Yeah, no, I'm just going to sit here and do impressions, I think. Okay, good. Perfect. That'll work out well. Okay. All right. So NPR is national public radio. And what that means is that they use Perfect, that'll work out well. So NPR is National Public Radio.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And what that means is that they use tax dollars to put on the programming. What has evolved over recent years is that in addition to tax dollars, they also take advertising. So play track two. Tito Beverage, he makes Tito's handmade vodka, which is a sponsor of this very
Starting point is 00:15:27 podcast that incorporate the concept of artisan craftsmanship found in boutique wineries into the spirits industry and they make Tito's Handmade Vodka. Tito Beverage. So Tito's Vodka is a sponsor of NPR. So it's kind of blurring that line of, is this a public service that they're providing? Or are they trying to turn a profit and make money? And I'm not against that. But my thought is, why do we have other things that we're spending all this taxpayer money on, funded by advertisers? You know, like we could have the Doritos F 22 fighter. We could have progressive insurance presents flows B two bomber. You know, what, what those fucking assholes for this shit? I don't want to. And it'd be perfect for the international corporations who are trying
Starting point is 00:16:17 to get more notoriety overseas. You know, when those bombs do land, a lot of times the logo is intact. Right. right. That'll be the number of villages. You'll know about progressives. Great rate on auto insurance all over Afghanistan. I think I'm on to something. Uh, good. I'm Tom Bodette here from Motel 6. We'll leave the Bob guys. We'll leave Tom Bo-Det, everybody. Yeah, I don't know exactly why Tito's is a sponsor per se, but I feel like that, well, this is Tom Bo-Det. I'm just gonna say, when you want a finger blast to prostitute in a hotel room and a motel six room,
Starting point is 00:17:05 you should probably be shit-faced on t-dos. Yeah motel six is our only for finger-blasting prostitutes I would never sleep there on purpose or with a loved one. This is this is how I'll touch I am Who who pies the prostitute that finger He's a prostitute that finger Well, you gotta get her excited about it. You can't just go hog wild You got a finger blast for a minute. Well, yeah, or you could buy a loop, I guess, you know You want to get right down to it? You're paying by the hour. I'm assuming, you know This is Tom Bo-dead don't don't finger play as a guy who as a guy who's never gotten a girl naturally moist I could see why she would be like what do you do a girl just buy it loop like
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah, I don't I don't I don't keep them They don't they don't get wet I don't even know I don't even know how to say that in any type of clever way at all they call you it doesn't matter Which hole Kevin? know how to say that in any type of clever way at all. Hey Collier, it doesn't matter which hole cabin. And musical guests dry holes. The dry holes. So since we're speaking of Tom Baudet, why don't we show how quick on his feed is? Because this is all about questions and answers
Starting point is 00:18:20 and being quick-witted. Play Track 8. Once computers are taking the wheel of our cars, we will see a lot more what? Drive through Apple stores? No. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Oh. Oh. Oh. Kevin. Drive through Apple stores. And behind that joke, jeez. Yeah. This is Tom Bodeadet drive through Apple stores.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Now a new thing that we're reporting here on Tom Bodet radio. And I just wanted to let you know that not only will Apple stores but ad-obs apples are something that you need to watch out for when you are procuring a prostitute at a motel six because that could be it could be a man. If they do have an adams apple make sure to pick up a lube. Very very very important that you pick up a lube when they have an adams apple. You could figure blast to the cows come home and it's not going to do any better. This is Tom Boedown with Motel 6. We'll leave the Lou Bout for you. I think you're on to something.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Before we get into the guest, because another part of the show, besides being a game show where there's Colin, people who are calling in and playing games the panelists are contestants, but they also have a celebrity guest that comes out for some reason. So we'll get into that. But before we do that, I just want to talk more about how not only are the games on this show really dumb, but the people who listen to MPR dumb and this caller is extremely dumb. So play track 10 that I call, dumb game, Dumber collar.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Bill Curtis is going to read you three news related lemrex with a last word or phrase missing from each. If you can fill in that last word or phrase correctly, and two of the lemrex will be a winner, are you ready to play? It's an art game of thrones. Please don't spoil it. Use the porcelain ones. Do not spoil it use the porcelain ones do not soil it
Starting point is 00:20:25 With usable plumbing the price is buying nothing a solid gold flushable Oh my god They're buying with it. Oh my god. Yeah, I'm more on they didn't have to go through the whole shitty Limerick I would have gotten it after the first fucking line. Oh, that limerick is gold when read by fucking Bill Curtis. I do idea you want it, right? Fucking crazy. That's fucking the comedy goal. Uh, not a game of thrones, but also a something toilet. I don't remember the rest of the way that it went.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It was, it was spo spoil it, soil it. Like how's there even anything else it could have possibly have been? There was a man from man took it. Whose penis was so long that he could suck it. Wait, what if, what if, down part, oh, did the, uh, man from Man Tucket, Limerick? Hahaha There was a man from Man Tucket
Starting point is 00:21:30 Whose dick was so long he could suck it I don't even know the rest of it That's the only thing I know I'm a pickle guest A musical guest Yes, there was a man from Belfast Who had balls made of brass and stormy weather. They clang together and lightning shot out of his ass with musical guests.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Drank your ass thing. I think you're out of something. That could be the Don Pardo does Limerick's podcast. Who are these Don Pardo impersonators doing Limerick's? .com, right? Yeah, that's a close. So we do have whoarethese.com, which is, you know, this is who are these podcasts, but we have other who are these shows on the who are these networks.

Visit whoarethese.com to check out the latest episodes from all the shows available on the Who Are These Network. Coming soon, Who Are These Facebook Posts? The only show where you can hear Emily as she scrolls through her Facebook feed. Here's an exclusive sneak peek at Who Are These Facebook Posts.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Mmm. Have you seen her in a while? Ugh. A kidney shot. Hmm, haven't seen her in a while. Yes. Keenie shot. Great. Oh my God. Why? Cat throwing videos.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Oh my god. Why is this guy getting spanked on Facebook? Oh gross. He he he. Finally the truth. Oh good. Yeah. Okay, that's upliftingifting. That's so depressing.
Starting point is 00:23:53 We're back. Yes, we're back. And if you're just joining us, we're talking about, wait, wait, don't tell me from NPR. I love when people say, if you're just joining us. Yeah, right. Like, like they somehow stumbled into the middle of a fucking podcast. Yeah, so if you're just too dead, what we've been talking about is how shitty this podcast is from NPR. Kevin fucking loves it. If you just put one voice tail on out of show, you fucking gets a semi in his pants.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Oh, come on. There's on, there's more than one. There's so good. I know, but no one's in it. Fair enough. Yes. I want to talk about the special guest, Rachel Bloom. Rachel Bloom. Rachel Bloom.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And your host. Created a TV show that's on the CW crazy ex-girlfriend. And the way that she gained notoriety was through a YouTube video. So let me set that up first. Play Track Three where the host is talking to Rachel Bloom about this video. I did not read or reread the Martian Chronicles
Starting point is 00:25:03 and say, I'm gonna do a, I'm gonna proposition the man in a music video. I did not read or reread the Martian Chronicles and say, I'm going to do a, I'm going to proposition the man in a music video. So what he's referring to there is an author Ray Bradbury, a sci-fi, well-known sci-fi author. This woman Rachel Bloom wrote a song about him and put it up on YouTube. and I'll play a clip of what that song is because she's very proud of it and obviously got her some notoriety and Steve called me up and said, Wanna hang out tonight? We could see an indie film Or just grab a bite I said, oh, Steve, you're cute
Starting point is 00:25:56 But a movie's not what I need No offense, but I'd rather stay home and read Fuck me, break right there, but we just separate We history, oh fuck me, break right there Oh my god. Did you go and listen to this song? No, no, no, God, and I'm glad I did not. Holy fuck, that was...
Starting point is 00:26:31 It's fucking terrible. So she shoo horns in the greatest sci-fi writer in history. Right. What the fuck? That's terrible songwriting. But beyond that, I'm listening to this. I'm like, this is so generic and boring.
Starting point is 00:26:48 For anyone out there who writes or plays music, the chord progression during the verses is EA, EA, and then the chorus is EA-B. And the reason why that's significant is it's a 1-4, 1-4, 5 progression. It's literally the most generic way to write a song possible. It's um it's wild thing. It's Louis Louis. It's the sweater song by Weezer. It's a billion fucking songs. It's so boring. And she doesn't make up for it with any of the content in the song at all. But listen to her explain she's very proud of herself. Listen to her explain the success of a track five. Carole nerds out with song writing theory everybody.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I'm all sorry. I didn't realize how much people would emotionally connect with the video and it went super viral in a way that I hadn't predicted. People emotionally connected with that. She wants to walk this old dude, and that's all people emotionally kind of do. Let me read you some of the YouTube cabbets. I'm wondering if this song. I love people, you gotta wonder where they're coming from. This person says, nice song, too much swearing.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You know this song is fuck me, Ray Brad. coming from. This person says, nice song, too much swearing. This song is fuck me, Ray Brad. It's in the title. Okay. Someone says burn this witch. Okay. Sorry. He does about right. I love this comment. This is my favorite. I wrote fuck and ended up here. What the fuck? That's someone who was YouTube searching for people fucking I guess. We're pissed off. Somebody else wrote pure genius, RIP, and I'm hoping the pure genius part is for Ray Bradbury because there's nothing genius about this song.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah, God, that's gotta be a reference to Ray Bradberg. He's dead now, right? I would assume. Yeah, he died a couple of years ago. And then there's other person wrote, Ray, you should dump a dick in her. That's the best fucking use. I know what, I bet Tom Baudet would say don't figure Blasucker. Don't put dick in her. This is Tom Baudet for Motel 6. Make sure you dump a dick at her when you're picking her up in the lobby of the Motel 6. We also have a free continental breakfast so we'll leave the light on for ya. Forgive me for the chord progression conversation but it really is fucking garbage. This is how easy it is to play songs like this and write songs like this. Here's another clip that I want to play because the whole point of this show is it's kind
Starting point is 00:29:52 of like that at midnight show on Comedy Central, although I think last rehearsed, but you know at midnight the whole idea is that people are just going to come up with spontaneous, witty comments when you get these talented people on. Right. And I love it when they try to do that and it fails. It's one of my favorite things. Right. So here's a great example.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Play Track 1, soccer jokes, hoarity and sues. Because NBR was like all the time. I just wanted how to pronounce it when you said that. I was like, I thought it was Lister. Yeah, I did do it like's I'm going like some mouthwash I'm out for a soccer game and so much for the beautiful game. Yeah Like wait, there is a huge your hand you idiots Who is that guy talking there though like I think that's PJ award?
Starting point is 00:30:43 He's got got something crazy boys. He's like, Oh, what is it? mouthwash play and soccer? What did he think that was going to land? Yeah, I don't. And hence the term humorist. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Oh, fucking terrible. Yeah. Kevin, since we're talking about the, uh, the announcer voice that you're in love with, Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:31:10 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not Ms. Helen Hong, St. Thomas B. for listening, I am Peter Shable. We'll see you next week.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Oh, thank you. I always put out everybody I want to thank for Kevin. Thank you. I'll talk to you next time. So generic and cheesy. Yeah, I'm really impressive that they actually have an audience Live there that's actually like, you know, I'm sure there there's a pause light or something because oh, maybe not I don't maybe it's just whatever but like you said before I don't know who
Starting point is 00:31:57 Who would go to this like who was like oh fuck I gotta go to the NPR like and taping for some shit podcast Oh fuck I gotta go to the NPR fucking taping for some shit podcast It's like it's like who's lying art is it anyway for people who hate jokes Do you hate the parts that make you laugh out loud? Check out this show wait wait don't tell me It's just a dumb panel show, but I don't, they do kind of crowbar those, the game show elements in and they did not make any fucking sense to me like what, what they were doing, they didn't really explain what, you know, what the game or what, what it was that they were
Starting point is 00:32:35 trying to achieve. And I don't know, you know, just because this is whatever the, I'm sure the hundredth plus or more episode, they feel like they don't have to, you know, like they have an audience or something, but for me, listen to the first time, I'm like, I have no fucking clue that we're playing a game and what the fuck is this game? And it just was confusing. You know what's amazing? When I went to look up this fuck me Ray Bradbury video by Rachel Bloom, the majority of the comments on YouTube were,
Starting point is 00:33:05 wait, wait, don't tell me, uh, took me here. Or I came here because of wait, wait, don't tell me this show has a lot of dumb listeners. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Yeah. And, and you're right, the, the game show component of this seems half asked and kind of shoehorned in like, Like, I guess we'll play a game and keep score. You know, like at one point, they ask Bill Curtis what the scores are. And he's like, it's three to two to two. And you're like, what are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Do we have a game going on? I thought you were making dumb jokes. Yeah, I don't understand that aspect of it. I'm not sure why they feel they need to have a game show piece in here. It is kind of bizarre. It's almost like, if you've ever listened to Doug Love's movies podcast, I saw a live once.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh, all right. Well, he'll go through, because I mean, and granted is a little more involved, but he explains to the people who are playing the game, you know, and then to the listeners kind of just briefly what they're trying to accomplish. And I think that they could do that. It would be so much more helpful for idiots like me or listening to this podcast and have no idea. And Doug Benson is not known for being well thought out, but even that stoner understands that you might want to explain to the contestants and the listeners why you're scoring it the way you are what you're trying to accomplish. It's not that difficult to understand. Yeah, I mean you have to set it up in some
Starting point is 00:34:35 way for for people who have never listened before unless they just assume that they have this massive fucking audience that understands everything they're talking about. But I guess they do, but even the price is right. They still explain how each game has played every time. You know, I'm sure Bob Barker was sick of explaining it, but it's kind of important to get people in. Anyway, whatever. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Oh, criticize saw gritty, but not that game shows. I'm not an expert there. This is how you play Plinco you drop the chip Drop the chip everybody All right, so I have another compilation clip that I created and again, this is NPR. It's exactly what you'd expect. I put 90% of the punchlines of the jokes were the same punchline and I put them all into one clip. It's called, uh, all of the punchlines. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. President Trump's Trump's Trump. Trump. Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Right. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Trump. Trump. He calls me Donald Trump Donald Trump President Trump Trump Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Trump Trump he calls me Donald Trump Real seriously, okay Donald Trump Donald Trump getting the Republican They're losers. They just losers Nice nicely done Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump Trump. That was literally that they said it so many times during the show and it was amazing because they would bring up Donald Trump and then talk for 20 minutes without saying his name. And he's like, well, he did this. He did that. So they didn't even say as much as they could have, but you could hear how many times that it was one of the only topics of conversation. I'm going to show that would be funny if they're like, if you're just joining us, Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Donald Trump sucks. Yeah, we're talking about Donald Trump. And how he sucks, everybody. And this show is from May 7th, 2016. So it's at a time when everyone else dropped out of the race for the Republicans. So it's like Trump's going to be the presidential nominee for that party. And the people on NPR couldn't be more confused about what's going out of the world right now Yeah, so there was a lot of confusion about that Yeah, there was a bunch of talk about endorsing Hillary and then she lies and I'm like I check out whenever
Starting point is 00:36:59 Shake turns fucking political. I'm just like I don't fucking all understand. How did you like the show? I didn't like this show. I just like the production of it. All right, we'll speak into production. I do have another clip that I'd like to share. It's called Carl. Why do you hate NPR so much? This is they did this a couple of times, you know, they have these little commercial breaks during this publicly funded show. And this is one where they're promoting another NPR show. And this NPR show sounds so fucking lame and terrible. But I guess if you use the word cool enough, you'll trick somebody. So play track 7. So I just wanted to point out that I'm probably right.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You're about halfway through weight weight and you're thinking, yeah, you know Peter was right. I would really like to listen to some Alt Latino Arts and Culture when this is over. Well, here to remind you again, you should go over and listen to Alt Latino, an Empire podcast with host the Felix Contraris and Jasmine Guard. They're talking about all kinds of cool things in the Latino art and culture world including new music, interviews with Rita Moreno, Carlos Santana, as well as other cool people like Kaya Tracev Huno Diaz.
Starting point is 00:38:15 You can find Alt Latino at npr.org slash podcasts and on the NPR One app. I have a comment on that too, because that's, go for it. That's the second time that they do a plug for that, whatever show or whatever. Alt Latino? Alt Latino music thing, yeah. So the first time he reads it, he's like, and you could listen to people such as Rita Moreno, and he's like, I love Rita Moreno. And then Carlos Satana, like he says it like, I love Rita Marino
Starting point is 00:38:45 and then fucking Carlos Santana like, like he's a piece of shit. It's not so much. And it's like, oh, the more popular of all of the fucking people you just read, you don't like. But then. Well, what I thought was interesting about it was, they're gonna be talking about cool things,
Starting point is 00:39:00 talking to cool people, they're gonna be doing cool stuff. None of that seemed cool to me in any way, shape or form. It sounded like blow hearty and awful. But just the idea that the super square white guy is trying to, hey, you know, we also celebrate other cultures. Check out Alt Latino like okay
Starting point is 00:39:25 We get it. I like that you said cool a bunch of times and we were just talking about Carlos and Tana I like one of his fucking son. Go your soul cool No, that's not that's not the day. Oh, it's smooth. That's Cool as the ocean is a cool All right, well, I had a couple wonders. I'm gonna let you slide. Oh Jesus. I'm so white Person wasn't the singer from like matchbox 20 on that song it's it's not all that cultural too. Yeah I guess it's true. I'll love I can Carl's say it. Dan it did was like that's only added to that. Whoa whoa are you saying that Latinos can't do
Starting point is 00:40:17 anything? Oh Jesus no no what are you saying Kevin? Boy I'm gonna get into some trouble now. Oh my God, now I am offended. My neighbors who can't even hear me will be offended once I tell them what you said. My friends are the age. And just this just in, I'm moving to Tucson, Arizona. So I better get to liking the Latino culture because I'll be surrounded by it.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Dude, I can't wait to move to Tucson. And I'm gonna be talking to you when you're gonna throw in Spanish words every other week. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm totally... What's up about that? I'm practicing rolling my Rs and things like that. That's what I can never do. Oh, I'm gonna nail that shit. You'll see.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Well, enjoy your time with the Takarillas. Takarilla. The Takarilla. Now, I know you didn't pull a lot of clips from the show because you were too busy being a fan, a fanboy. Yeah. What was the thing that we learned about? You were, uh, fan-sturbating?
Starting point is 00:41:23 I don't know. What? I didn't know. You might as well go with that, right? I don't know. What? What? You might as well go with that, right? I don't know. Ugh. Wow, we've already forgotten that, and that was a pretty funny thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Moving on. Fanwank. That's what it was. Oh, yes. Yes, fanwank. You know, like we're fanwanking over Bill Curtis. It's top of that. There was a bunch of shit going out of this show that's sucked. Alright, so next week we're going to do another podcast that we're going to review and
Starting point is 00:41:51 it's going to be NPR's Alt Latino. No, I'm just kidding. Do you have anything else you want to talk about about Bill Curtis's silky voice or... Ardone, you're uh, I think I'm good. I think I'm done trying to do impressions. Oh, come on. Should I? Good. Good. Yes. Ah, Cobra Commander here.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Finally. I'm waiting for you. I'll show. Just like the ocean under the moon The emotion that I show to you I don't know if that's not that's that's how the vaguely close to what the actual lyrics are good job Yes, you've redeemed yourself. No, I have Google The cover commander is Google I have the Google I Use Bing but I only use Bing for porn
Starting point is 00:42:49 Right we did learn that big socks, but apparently it's good for porn Yes, we learned about fan-wanking and Bing porn this podcast is highly educational We should probably categorize this under the education. Yeah, I'm gonna change that when I file the podcast tonight. I'm gonna put it in the education. Please, please do. All right, so next week we're gonna do this again. We're gonna listen to another podcast and I have a clip so that we can tease what we're gonna be listening to.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Please play next week's teaser. Your words need to count. Like words matter. Every word that you write TM. Yeah. Matters. So I mean just look at if I mean. All right. She did like some like weird like thing with her mouth where she was like at the end there was. All right All right, but here's the takeaway here. This show is called Drink, Drink, Drunk. And it's a grammar show.
Starting point is 00:43:57 It's described as a grammar nerd's delight. Their whole purpose of this show is to break down current language and communication issues. Now that you know that, okay, play that again. Your words need to count. Like, words matter. Every word that you write TM. Matters. So, I mean, just look at, I mean, I mean, just look at, I mean, so like, if you like words like matter, so if you, if you go, and then then
Starting point is 00:44:33 something like, fucking, drinking a vat of fucking come. So it's, it's a grammar show with a drinking problem. Apparently these two women get on and drink wine and talk about people's grammar and correct it, which sounds like a terrible premise for a show. And I know a thing or two about terrible promises. Yes. The show that we're going to be listening to is an episode called Buzzfeed is worth billions of dollars because they invented lists. Holy shit, that's a long title. It's a long title. It's a long title. I had to write it down and read it to make
Starting point is 00:45:09 sure that I got it right. But this is gonna be fun because they're gonna be correcting grammar mistakes and Kevin, you and I, we probably don't form a single sentence that's correct in any given show. But you know who does Bill Curtis. Maybe I'll come host a show with Bill Curtis next week. Bill Curtis can form sentences like you would not believe and you also know that Bill Curtis is a huge fan of Santana. So I just want to let you know out there Latino community to tune into Latino Arts fucking podcast. Alt Latino. Alt Latino podcasts fucking whatever. Which by the way, couple of things.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Alt, doesn't that mean alternative? Alt Latino? Is there anything more mainstream than Carlos Santana? Wasn't that song smooth number one for like half a decade? Yeah, that's very true. I mean, they're like, all to Latino. We hear things about like Carlos Santana and Gloria Stefan, and the Miami-Salbus, you're like, really? What are we talking about here? Yeah, they picked-
Starting point is 00:46:17 Exactly. It's like all the artists that we're aware of in America. And then the other thing, and I didn't even I just gloss over this. But the other thing is he goes, if you want to find the show, it's on mpr.org. Who says that? O R G. Like, like I'm website is who are these? That's C O M. So, so drink, drink, drunk is the show will be listening to next week.
Starting point is 00:46:44 And they'll be listening to next week and we'll be listening to Morgan Obodowski and Linda Huss. And I'm sure those two women are going to be wonderful to listen to. Yeah, a lot more like forward to that. Yeah, any other podcast that we've done with two female hosts have been, well, just the best. I mean, they've been the best. We typically have the takeaway of it's really good.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And we usually recommend our listeners check it out. Yeah, definitely. We fan, we ain't call over the place. We do, I fan, we like, tell a few of these. Yeah. Especially when I do a Google image search of, okay. I was gonna try to remember one of the names
Starting point is 00:47:24 of the fucking ladies just said like Barra Barry Obadowski Tara that's close. It was Morgan Obadowski. Oh wow Jesus. I got the last Morgan Obadowski help me Obadowski. You're my only help There is joy this again next week because it might be the show where we find out once and for all who are these podcasts.
