Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep47 - Blurry Photos

Episode Date: January 30, 2017

Welcome to another week of WATP!  Our show this week is none other than the fringe-centric Blurry Photos.  Do you like ghosts, Bigfoot, Mothman, or any of that stuff?  Well look elsewhere because this show makes sure you get your fill of "comedy" instead of any real discussion of the topics at hand.  That being said, Kevin and Karl do try to lend some humor to the show by essentially taking a giant Sasquatch-size poopy on it all.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. I'm Kevin and I'm Carl and we listen to podcasts so you don't have to. We want to remind our listeners you can visit us on WhoAreThese.com, our Facebook page, or on Twitter at Who Are These Pod. We always are looking for new podcast suggestions so leave us a comment or post a death threat. Today we'll be reviewing a show called Blurry Photos. As always, we have listened to the episode separately. We have not discussed that we've each other beforehand, so without further ado, let's find out

once and for all who are these podcasts? time. W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P! Hello, everybody. Slap and bags in the morning. W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P! Hello everybody! Slappin' bags in the morning! Yes! Good morning! Good morning, the bag slappers are back! We reviewed a podcast called Blurry Photos

where we haven't reviewed it yet. We listened to it. Yeah. I'm ready to review it. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately. Yeah, this'm ready to review it. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately. Yeah, this was last week we talked a little bit about this and my love for the style of podcast, meaning the topics that they're talking about and stuff. This one was a weird one because it's all about creepy clowns, which doesn't quite fit into the shit that I normally would care about. But I don't know, what did you, I mean, just what was your overall, and now this was a two-hour show, and I listened to the first hour, and you listened to the second. But what was your

just overall opinion of the show? I listened to the whole thing, but I tried to clip from later in the show so we wouldn't have too much overlap. This show, this seems to be a trend with this type of format. Believe it or not, reminded me of crime and cocktails, where it's people just reading wiki pages for you, which is bizarre to me because if I was that interested in the subject, I would go read the wiki page myself. I don't need these two jokesters reading it to me because if I was that interested in the subject I would go read the wiki page myself I don't need these two jokesters reading it to me and that was the thing that was so frustrating about the show is that someone told these assholes they're funny and holy shit they need to rain

it in a little bit. Yeah totally agreed. It's over the top can I play can I play an example? Sure over the top. Can I play it? Can I play an example? Sure. All right. A track one on here, I call a terrifying rabbit. This gives a great look into what this whole fucking show, the nonsense that goes on for the entire two hours. There was also reportedly a person dressed as a rabbit. It was allegedly going around harassing children as well. Each a carrots each a carrots each a carrots. Do you want to know where the eggs come from? Do you want to know where the eggs come from? I have the exact same clip. You did. Sorry. No, that's okay. So stupid. Like what the fuck are they doing? It's not funny. Yeah. Well, the show starts out now I guess for everybody

there's a little a little background here so the the show is about I guess it's called 14 which I just had made been made aware of but kind of like off like fringe topics so you know big foot that kind of shit. So it's all over the place with that. And they just happen to cover creepy clowns this week. But the two of these guys, and this is the thing that I hate, and it has become a trend in this style of podcast, meaning these topics, where I guess people feel uncomfortable maybe because they are reading these things of a Wikipedia that they feel they need to be entertaining but these two guys David and David ironically other names

they apparently were in second city or did some improv or something they never stopped telling you about it too. They're so proud of there. Well, you know, we're stage performers, so we kind of understand how this works. And they're always throwing that in there. Like, okay, we get it. You guys are in some shitty improv trip, all right? Right, right.

And that's part of the problem for me with this type of podcast. For me, what I want to listen to one of these things, which is a lot, I want facts, and I want them delivered in a, doesn't have to be ultra serious, but I don't want skits. And that's the beginning, the first five minutes of this podcast is a skit right did you clip any of that I got a whole bunch of it yeah yeah yeah this is fucking ridiculous all right so here here's the critter getters skits so this is exactly how it opened so I mean they open up the show

like oh you know we're brought to you by blah blah blah blah blah and then it goes right into this skit oh howdy y'all up delbert chill kids my name is Duane Maddox and use vouching creator getters we don't get them creators oh he's not that way all right so. Kevin, these guys in Prussians are so bad, they gave Frank Kylianno douche chills. You fucked a soul over the top of this shit. Yeah, it's a bit much. Now, full disclosure, I do a lot of fucking dumb impressions too. And then it was a while ago we did an episode where Dorkels the clown came around. That's right! Do you remember Dorkles the clown came around. That's right.

Remember Dorkles the clown? Dorkles. Now Dorkles sounded a lot like this guy's clown impression, which may be forever retire Dorkles the clown. That's what I'm trying to be in on the show. Yeah, so it was a little cringey and a lot of spots. Because I'm like, oh god is that what I fucking sound like when people listen to this like, oh god he's doing a god damn voice again.

I don't know. Well, I'm glad you brought up the Dorkles the Clown thing because we listened to an episode of the John Jay and Rich podcast or radio show or whatever it was. Yeah. Back when people were this whole creepy clown thing was going on. And these guys reminded me of that douchebag, Rhett, who was afraid of clowns. So I placed this together. It's almost seamless. Play Trek 6. Let us talk about what makes a clown creepy. Do we have to? I do not like clowns. Scary or other, I don't like them. They freak me out.

So don't do that. If you're a clown, don't scare people. That's actually the episode. If anybody wants to go back and listen, that door of the clown makes his appearance. Exactly. That's why I thought of that. Yeah.

These guys talking about creepy clowns. For some reason, decided to go through a history of how clowns came about going back to the town fool and the gestures. And I was like, what does this have to do with anything? Why would anyone care about this? Yeah. And like I said, I was like reading a wiki pitiate page. It's fucking boring. Yeah. That's a, no, no. I'm kind of conflicted about some of that too, because it's, I think it's got to be hard to take on one of these topics because how do you

do a show? How do you fill the time talking about this topic? If you're not kind of going into the background or the history of some of this stuff now. I agree I I pull the lot of clips that I know are Ridiculous that are like okay. We really need to know the entire backstory of fucking hobo clowns and you know A vaudevillian clowns and shit, but I guess from the other side of it if you're going to do a show about creepy clowns I guess you got to start somewhere you can't just go yeah this is fucking stupid they're in the woods and it's dumb I guess you need to have something background on it so I don't know. Well they're critter getters bit and then say creepy cause of stupid and you know, you mean this bit?

Legend has it a hundred years ago, a circus train derailed. Everybody burned the death and soted the train, so there was never a train or tracks to be found. But according to legend, it were hauling clowns and gorillas. Yeah, and then I might as well just play the last part. I got my clown squash call and we're gonna start working our way through these woods. The local trappers tell me they can be lured in by the plaintive whale of the noble flat whistle. So there's again some fully work going on. Oh God, it was just, and I do remember I was on a kick trying to find, you know, podcast to listen to for a while.

And I guess I kind of still am too. I was going to say I'm still trying to find a bug to put me. And this was one of the ones that comes up if you do searches for paranormal or whatever it is that you're looking for. So I have tried this one out and I can tell within the first not even five minutes whether or not I'm going to like a podcast based on the format and stuff the way that the host interact and if they're making a bunch of dumb fucking skits like this I'm out and this is the reason why I never subscribed to this podcast in the past so I

knew it was going to be a shit show and they delivered as far as the the poop on the platter if you will. So just to hammer home the point of the way they formatted this show, play Track 9. Now, how about some better, like more interesting explanations? I love that idea. That was at the one hour and six minute mark of the show. And I was like, applauding. I was like, yes, almost something interesting.

That'd be amazing. Yeah. Let's do that. Maybe you could do that at the beginning of the show. I don't know. Yeah. Oh boy. Here's like the level of detail that they go into. I have a clip here of just it's unneeded in my opinion. And I know I'm contradicting myself again, because I said, you know, maybe you do need some history, but this is just their facts. Being read, like you said, being read off of a computer, you know, right into the microphone. They might have printed it, but yeah. Right, right. Well, here we go. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs from around 2500 BCE to pick gestures and jugglers along with pigmies performing for pharaohs. The Chinese Emperor Xiuwang-T over saw the building of the Great Wall,

which resulted in thousands of worker deaths. Only the court-gester Yutze dared criticize, with jokes, the Emperor's further plans to paint the whole wall, which undoubtedly will have root of resulted in even more deaths, not to mention just the general expense of it. Okay, so there's a whole shitload of history there, which I it's hard to follow to begin with. It's also nice or here nor there, it really doesn't matter about anything that we're talking about. Exactly. Exactly. So, maybe, you know, and going back on my initial point, maybe the history should have been started at when clowns became creepy, because they do go into that to, like, some

examples of creepy clowns, like, uh, Stephen. Right. Fast forward to the 70s and 80s, exactly. Right, yeah, Stephen King's it, you know, is one of them. And like, there's a bunch of examples. Like, maybe that's where it should have started because I don't really give two flying fox about Egypt and court gestures and shit like that.

It just doesn't matter. Kevin, here's a clip that I find very ironic and I'll explain why I play Track 5. So if you want another pretty bizarre story, why don't you Google up yourself? Yeah, why don't you just Google it yourself? Exactly. If I want to know about the history of clouds, I'll Google it myself. Exactly. So you were asking before, is it supposed to be hard? How do you cover information?

The way a professional would do it is they would get someone on who was an expert in the field and they would interview them. Not just read up a wiki page. Right, right. Or I mentioned last week, Astonishing Legends, which is like my favorite podcast. They have an entire team of

volunteer people who just do research. So when they're doing something, they have literally a bunch of people that are out there googling and compiling and doing all those things to get that research. So it doesn't sound like they're literally typing in the history of clowns into Wikipedia and then reading it off. So let's get into these guys how they think they're hilarious. I'm going to play you an example. I call this the Louisville gag. And it's one of these things where just making funny noises with your mouth is apparently funny into these assholes. Play track too. For a few years everyone thinks it's safe to not worry about clowns. Wrong March 1988. Lululul. Kentucky. Lululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululul So that's literally and I didn't put in any of the sound effects of one order thing as part of the show So that's literally what they find to be comedy and It's just reminded me of something else that was once considered to be comedy

Play my my name cook track out here You hear the sound you react in a certain way some Some sounds soothing, right? You hear like the sound of a babbling brook. Buh-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lulululululu Don't bullshit me. It was that was bad. Be more funny the best I can do I'm a long green a dryer There's been no laughs She's This is what it reminded me of just like we're being goofy is this hilarious Well, it's funny because the first thing I thought of what I heard that little little village thing was Opie. His Opie's do that a lot too with member Entimans. They were talking about Entimans cakes or whatever they'd be like that.

And Entimans and Nins. And that was that was always an opi thing it's what people who aren't funny do it to be funny and you're right right there's no wit involved I mean even Carlos Mincee I think these guys are bad at writing jokes yeah these guys aren't funny at all right? Dorkles here. Anyway, so I have a here Kevin called more hilarious improv that I think Fitzwillanda is discussion that we're having. Play track seven. French literary critic Edmond De Mike drop, R of War, BHS. Time to quit talking. That was another thing. They bleep out swears.

Yeah, someone actually had to go in, listen to this whole shitty podcast, and edit in bleeps over the swears. Why? Do they think they're gonna have a radio show at some point? Nice. Yeah, I was struggling to find the reasoning behind that as well. Like they're... Because they swear a lot. In fact, it's a punchline to joke so well. If there are jokes.

They use the... And then they leap at multiple times. You're like, well, I don't... I know this kind of distraction what you're doing. Yeah, I just thought that was kind of bizarre. Maybe they're hoping that they'll be on some mainstream network. I don't know what the thought process is there. It's a lot of work.

You got to go back through and edit all that out. Yeah, I just thought that was a weird kind of thing. Unless you're trying to appeal to all audiences. They wanted to be rated G for for blurry photos. I don't know. I don't get it kind of weird So here's a example of a joke that kind of goes nowhere, which there's plenty of them to hold Here we go. So let's how about how about we dip dip into the the history of these well festooned fools,

phantomic fools. And don't regular Billy Shakespeare over that. Oof. These guys are to improv comedy. What Bill Bellicek is to improv comedy. I know that reference. It's not good. Oh, it's good. And I have an example of this. Play track 10. This is douche chili.

So, this is from me. This is a quote from D Flora. Flora, could you give me a real Flora accent like, oh, I'm David Flora. And, no. That's okay, next time I'll do my Flora, it'll be hilarious. The other guy gave him nothing on that. So this is Dave Stecco, who according to their website

is a Chicago comedian and 34% robot. Whoa! Guys, crazy. He is also obsessed with the paranormal. He is up in all a ghost grill and a phantom's face. He's got beef with Bigfoot and a feud with berries. Wow, there's some amazing literature there. So, all right, the problem here. I think I just discovered with the the major problem isn't and that is

that for me, they put themselves before the content. Oh, yeah, oh, definitely, they're like, we're just hilarious comedians. And we just have to be talking about clowns today, but who cares? Who listens to us? And obviously I prefer the content to be the focus and then the host to be kind of secondary, if you will, or that's secondary, but you know what I mean?

It shouldn't be the personality of the host should not be the show that I'm listening to when I want to listen to you know I'm not supposedly non-comedy podcast that's that's the problem for me. If you want if you want to listen to the personality then you have to have a decent personality. Yes. I think it's what you're trying to say. That's actually that's pretty profound. You're right. They are putting themselves ahead of the content. So if you were into, like you said,

we talked about this last week and we teased this episode. You said, this is exactly the type of podcasts I want to listen to. They're talking about things that interest me and I can't get into it because these assholes are just way too busy with making themselves laugh. Right. I have an example called cracking themselves up.

Play track 14, this is just embarrassing. Here in Brombsgrove and Mary Old Ringrant. Hey, so Brombsgrove, lad is here. Oh, well, that'd be too bad. Brombsgrove, tuppin' suburbin' to you, lad. I'm sorry, Lee. Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! they show tortured puppies is more enjoyable. And the show. The show was terrible. I don't know what I'm missing here. They have a big listeners, yet they have a lot of fans. The so you listen to the first half and the second half of the show, they wrap up the clown thing pretty quickly. I'm like, okay, we're done with this. Move it on.

And they're still 30 plus minutes to go. What the fuck? What's going on now? They get into listener mail. And you got to hear this. For some reason, out of nowhere, it turns into a morning zoo. Listen to the lead in. They have for their listener mail segment. It's copy right. It's copy right. It's copy right and copy right Listen

Got an email from Adamus the wise Dude what the fuck was that Ridic ridiculous random noises. I hold the place. I didn't go with the baby. It turned into Mad Cow. I'm just like, what the fuck is going on? So I decided Kevin, I'm like, OK, we got to do this. We don't have a ton of segments on our show, but we do have like next week's teaser

that we do near the end of the show. We got our here's a clip from next week's show. I created a teaser lead-in. So this is gonna be what we play every week now before we do our teaser. I'm on the day you want to! I'm on the day you want to! Oh, yeah! We'll be right now! What the fuck is the difference? I like the... Can I have that sound effect the fart sound effect at the end there?

Oh yeah, should have those good. I said, Uh... Uh, yeah. It's, uh... uh... yeah it's uh... i think maybe they would have more success if this was the david davis show you know that screw blurry photos this is now that called the david davis show it's a comedy show

and then they talk about i'm just saying but but i mean that that's what it should be it shouldn't be this is a paranormal whatever uhos. Well, I think you think they would have more success with their Boom there before all like that shit. That's that's their wacky improv comedy styleings bully be I don't I don't like it, but Maybe that's what they want if you're gonna censor yourself and you're gonna do a morning zooish thing They want, if you're gonna censor yourself and you're gonna do a morning zooish thing. Alright, I'm gonna interrupt you with this track that I call. This sign off doesn't need me to add anything.

Play track 15. For this episode of Blurry Photos, I have been David Buffleroon. And I have been Dave. Oh, this is my David Flora voice. Steco. Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. Oh. Oh, God. It's just painful.

You know, I don't particularly care for improv. And this totally makes sense that they're improv guys. Because it totally aligns with what I know from my one improv class that I took, the type of people that you get. But, oh. It's the, here's how I would sum it up, Kevin. The improv comedy, because I agree with you. I'm a huge comedy fan, improv comedy I find mostly uncomfortable. And it's because the

people who do it are the people who would tell you that they were the class clown in high school, but nobody else would label them the class clown. Nobody was laughing at their jokes when they were trying to carry out an in class and get everyone laughing at the teacher. Yeah, they're in their own world. Yeah, it's feeder kids. That's usually how I describe it. It's feeder kids who have grown up and want to act funny or do stupid things. I remember doing it and feeling completely

idiotic. I remember I had to change a tire. So I had to act like I was changing a tire and make it funny with the other people in this scene, if you will. And to me, it's like coming from stand-up, it just was not comfortable at all. It's like, I can't... I don't know, maybe I'm just a narcissist, then I want all the attention on me. It's like, I don't want to be sharing it with other people on the stage. I mean, I think what the problem is, is when you do stand up, you can control where the laughs are. When you're doing improv, you have to sit there and watch the other people come up with unfunny remarks

and try to play along with it. It's like, I don't wanna be any part of the sicking ship. Can I just fucking get up? Yeah, that's a very good point. And, you know, I believe me, I have a lot of friends that do improv and things like that and whatever, I'll part a power to you, but I, it's just not something that I could, could do. That's not to say if S and L called me tomorrow and said that they want to be on the cast, I would do it. But that, to me,

seems different, but it isn't. I know you're, you know, to get out in SNL, you pretty much have to have some type of an improv background or at least it helps. Anyway, we're going to go get way off time. But Kevin, I have very good news for you. SNL is not going to call you. No, I don't have to worry about that. Oh, you haven't done stand up in a year. Yeah, come on, be on our show. The only thing I want to be on SNL4 is doing a better intro because I don't like... Oh, I know.

Yeah, the Don Parto. Another Don Parto, right? Yeah, now that he's gone, it's like it's such a huge void. And I pride myself on my Don Parto impression and I feel like I could have slid right into that role for way less that they're paying domparto to do the the voices every week. You know Kevin speaking of actually coming prepared with the material and not just relying on

improv and hoping that things are funny. I do wanna segue quickly. We'll get back to this, but I wanna segue quickly and talk about the JINGLE's department. Oh, okay. As listeners to WATP know, our JINGLE's department has been crushing it as of late, and they've really latched on to this whole idea that you and I are bag slappers.

We had a comment on iTunes that pretty much called us out as a couple of bags slappers sitting on the couch and the jiggles department has not forgotten this. Nor will they anytime soon it appears. So why don't we debut the latest offering? Give it a little bit more. Give it a little bit more. Give it a little bit more. Give it a little bit more. Give it a little bit more. They're back slapping

There's nothing back today Come on baby, back slavers They're gonna smack their gloves All of our back slavers Listen to the unknown of a dark intro I'll really can't believe That these two guys don't read their back I think we've been fooling So I don't know how you feel about that one. It was beautiful. I thought the most shoehorn line was, listen to them glow about touching scroats. Anytime you can abbreviate scrotum, I'm all in.

I guess, I mean, I've never used scrote in a sentence before, but I guess I'm for it. Yeah, it works. It totally works. I feel like I was being serenaded. It was really nice. Well, I showed up to the Chiefs Department and I want to remind our listeners that we will accept your submission. So please add to the fun. It doesn't have to be about bag slapping. It seems to me what all these songs are about. There could be other topics, but if you have a bag slapper parody, we're always open for it. Yeah, let's put it this way. If you have some type of parody or jingle, we will air it if it's about bag slapping. That's true. Yeah.

No matter how bad it is, if it is bag slapping, if that's a topic, we're on board. Yes. Yes. So I don't know. We have a lot more to say about blurry photos. I do have a few more clips that I want to get through if you don't mind.

Sure. Because these guys suck and people should know that. It's my duty. Play track for the talking about clowns and Manchester UK. Manchester, England, where in 2013, there were 19 separate reports of alleged clown related crime during this period, ranging from theft to one that stole a bicycle after holding its owner at knife point. So ranging from theft to theft. Alright got you. Make sure to clear that up. I have a couple of clips that were from the male segment where they're reading people's emails

and I honestly don't remember what they are, but I have one that's called, I have no idea what's going on here. Play Track 12. It is me good, sir, that we should read this, Mrs. I'm new here. How you doing? I write to you on the spookiest night of the year.

Brrrr. Ha-ha-ha-ha. This isr. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You're not as do she is these guys. Oh God, I'm worried. How? Oh shit is Cover Commander leaving our show. He might be he might be gone. Yeah him and uh whatever other other variations of Cover Commander voice that I do that I call different characters. Yeah yeah well I know I know Lee out in Scott. Oh he has gone. He hasn't been showing up which is annoying. Oh geez. Yeah so it's just the two of us now doing the show Boy, that's kind of a bummer. Well, well, yeah, I mean he definitely added a lot. So we're just gonna fill that void

All right, well, you know, you got to move on you got a soldier for it. I'm not I miss you know Leon was a quiet guy, but yeah, but he always wanted to know we meant about things and I liked that about him. Yeah. Gavin, track 13. This is so douche-chill inspiring. The guy starts coming up with a metal song and I call this, what am I missing here? I would help promote you guys to Phil a theater here in Boise if you guys ever decided to consider it. Well, one thing we will need, an opening metal band. Oh, sh**. That's right. That is true. Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick- Yeah, dude, you know what that reminded me of if anyone's ever listened to open Anthony or the Sam and Jim show

Jim Norton is this character chip chiperson who's supposed to be it's actually funny because he's the guy who tells the bad joke And he's not funny at all. It's he would fit on the show perfectly just this character He has this metal bed called the sick fucking pop piece. He's like, the sick fuck up. Almost identical to what this guy just did. He doesn't just a goo fun people like that. This guy actually did it for real. You fuck yeah. Well, fuck yeah. Yeah. If anybody's an old ONA fan or whatever, whatever the show is called now and it's current incarnation. You'll know Chip Chipperson or if you know Jim Norton obviously he does it on stage I think not too.

One of the greatest characters ever. So let's see what I got here. They finally get into the scary clown stuff after talking for me, I mean the beginning of it was all history, so this is what I called finally, scary clown talk. As mentioned, phantom clowns are waves of sightings of clowns that carry a menacing air about them. Last year's wave of clown sightings wasn't the first and if recent history tells us anything It's not even close to being the last. So there again you can see how goofball they are and then right back to reading right, you know, the microphone's up serious disconnect there. Yeah.

Here's another just random poll on a nowhere. They talk about red skeleton. Uh, I've never seen red skeleton before. This guy claims, well, what anyway, here we go. I mean, hell, I grew up in the 80s and I watched so many red skeleton specials growing up. Sure. And would you consider him a hobo clown? Yeah.

I think that like Freddie the free loader was one of Red Skeletons, her sonas, that was like the hobo clown with the five o'clock shadow and I don't know anything about Red Skeleton. Maybe I should. Were you calling him Red Skeleton? Yeah. It's Red Skeleton, not not red skeleton. Oh really? I know it's red skeleton. Is that a super villain in spider-man? I don't know red skeleton. Yeah, I thought it was like the guy, you know, the the arch nemesis of captain America. It watch out red skeleton. Oh really it's skeleton. Oh geez. I feel like a real douche. Anyway, I don't know anything about this. I grew up in the 80s as so did you. I've never heard of them yet. Yeah, whatever. Okay, moving on.

Now I feel like a fucking huge douchebag's in it. Why is this because I think it's one of these guys who have a way bigger audience than we do. We suck as well. Now you feel bad. It's all catching up to me now. You know what it is? I think I miss Lea. These are rock. Yeah, he grounds us. Well, maybe I'll get him on the show. Future show is a guest spot or something. Oh, that's good. All right. I have a clip, Kevin, that I do not remember why I

clipped it. It's called talking about Michael Crichton books. I mean, you know, whatever. Right. I enjoy different flavored Oreos. Yeah. Same. I mean, like I said, I read them all. I didn't at some point get disgusted and stop. I Pokemon the sh** out of that. Now I remember why I clipped that. What does that mean that he Pokemon to the sh** out of that? What is that? I didn't know the Pokemon was a verb. I don't know. I completely, my brain shuts off as soon as I hear the word Pokemon. I don't know.

It's coming up on every podcast you listen to, they're talking about my Pokemon. Yeah, that's a trend that totally missed me. It's a child of the 80s. As this guy just said about Red Skulton. See, I got it right that time. I don't know anything about Pokemon. So when people say Pokemon, I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. I know it's weird characters. There's an orange chicken with a lightning bolt tail. That's like, all I know about them. Yeah, I mean, they're talking about these books and the guys like, yeah, I write every book. I poke him onto the shit out of them. Yeah, I mean, they're talking about these books and the guys like, yeah,

I write every book. I poke him onto the shit out of them. If anyone can let us know what that means, I'm very confused. I think, well, I, if I had to guess, it means because the, the, the Pokemon thing is collect them all. So I mean, that's what he means. Like, he's collecting all. Yeah. I think humble brag, but I've ever heard one. Yeah. I owed a lot of books by that guy. Needs. Who gives a shit? Who gives a fuck? Exactly. I just have one more clip and it's less than a second log. This guy makes an Arnold Schwarzenegger type noise randomly out of nowhere play this ISO What the fuck They were talking about Arnold and they're talking about Mars or

Total recall the company Oh boy. Well, yeah, this was, you know, for all the reasons that we've clearly outlined, not a good show. I have plenty of examples of good shows that have this type of topic. In fact, I received an email directly to me because I... From Asinal? Yeah. Was it Lauren Michaels? I received an email directly to me. Because I am. From Asinal? Yeah.

Was it Lauren Michaels? Lauren Michaels was like, I need you to be on the shoe. You were such a good comedian on the WATP shoe. You're right. Yeah. No, I got an email from a listener suggesting a bunch of new shows along these veins, along this vein. So, you know, crypto-zoology, that type of stuff.

And I appreciate it. So if you're listening, thank you. I will reply back to you. It's just been kind of a crazy weekend for me. So I did get it and I did check out some of those shows that I had not heard of before. But if you want, you know, good versions of this, if you're into this type of topic, astonishing legends, like I've mentioned before, this show reminds me a lot, uh, blurry photos. It kind of mysterious universe is another one that I really liked when it first started, because it was a little more serious.

They were two Australian guys that talk about all these different topics and stuff. But even that show has kind of started to veer into them goofing off and crack at each other up and stuff like that. And I just don't like it. I don't know. I want kind of like an NPR version of my crypto-zoology news, I guess. But that's just me. So, I don't know what you're... Kevin, didn't you also get involved with your favorite podcast?

Oh, yeah. They do a thing. It's not as you can legends the the two hosts there put out. Basically a call to their fans to do promos. So you throw to commercial or you throw you know back to the show bumpers essentially. So I sent a bunch of those into them. I mean anybody can do it. I'm not certainly any special person by doing this, but they played one of them on the Count of Saint Germain part two episode.

Yay. Yeah, you can hear me saying my name, my full name, even my last name. So now people can stalk me. But yeah, I'm on there if you want to hear me all month. Kevin, I believe you are voted least likely to be stalked by anyone in high school. I don't think you have to worry about that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was I was very unstockable. I still am. Yeah, still am to this day. That's right. Well, congratulations on that. That's cool.

I will be checking out that podcast Because I don't hear enough of your voice. I need I need to hear it at multiple I mean, it's literally like a two-second clip, but Anyway, it was it's cool. It's an exact amount of Kevin. Yeah, that's That's enough for everybody. That's perfect. Well Kevin. I got to tell you, man, this week has been a lot of fun. But good news. We're going to do this again. We'll do this again next week.

Okay. And I think that when I say that, when I say we're going to do this again next week, we should play that teaser lead in. Oh, that's all I say. We're going to practice. Okay. This is going to be a format for I'm announcing format change going forward. Kevin, we've had a lot of fun this week, but guess what?

Good news. We're gonna do this again next week. Okay, cool. So you know what that means everyone, we're about to play a clip from Next Week's Podcast that Kevin and I will be listening to you and reviewing. This is what we like to call a teaser to get you excited about next week's episode. Kevin, why don't you play the tri that I have labeled next week's teaser? Well hello everybody. This is Anna Lynn Thomas, the founder of Ha Ha's for Who Ha's. And this is Susanna B. Lewis of Wo Susanna. Welcome to the Anna and Susanna show. I always start like this because I just see Susan and I do this thing where we catch up

right before the show comes on and so then I feel awkward asking her questions all over again. But I'm going to do it, Susan. How was your week? We already went over this. Oh boy. Oh boy. This is a show called the Anna and Susanna show. This is an episode from January 25th of 2017. It's called our deepest disappointments and how to walk through it. Oh, but is it like a self-help show or something? Yeah, it's a show for women by women.

Oh. And I have a feeling that we're not going to enjoy it very much. No, boy. And I don't want to predict that we're not going to enjoy it. I feel like we should give it a chance, but this is going to suck. Yeah. This is going to be a rough one. I can foresee that already. At least with blurry photos, I was like, I can listen to the clown thing and whatever.

Let me read you the description. It starts with two words that should never start a description for a podcast. Funny women, Anna of Ha Ha's for Who Ha's and Susanna of Woe Susanna, share funny stories at our own expense and maybe at the expense of our husbands and kids, whatever. This is gonna be a fucking pile of garbage. Oh. I love it. I like that they say that we're funny women because it starts out with funny women and ensues Anna share funny stories at our own expense. So they switched who was saying this to be one thing if a third party said these are two funny women, but it's just them say that they're funny women. Yeah, well, yeah, obviously they wrote hilarious podcasters, cabinet carols share funny bits that they produced that we produced.

That may be our actual description of the show. I should go back. Yeah, we should probably read. I don't know what we did for that. Yes, we wrote our own. There wasn't some weird company that came in. It was like, let's do the show for that. Yes, we wrote our own. There wasn't some weird company that came in. It was like, let's do the show for you. We'll figure out the tag wide, if you will. I don't think that we declare that we're hilarious, though, anywhere.

No, probably not. I'm going to be about page of our website. Let's see. Host Kevin and Carl navigate the murky waters of today's popular and not so popular podcasts. Offering honest reviews that break the fourth wall of broadcasts, you're right, everyone, to not take yourself too seriously. Simply put, they're listening so you don't have to. Yet, no where do we say it's gonna be funny, or entertaining.

This is good. This is a good description. We're not making promises, we can't keep. Hold on to your hats, everybody, because when Kevin and Kyle review a podcast, the rules are out the window. Oh boy. Let's change our description to that I like that better. The rules fly right out the window. Hold on to your hats that should be our new tagline. Kevin and Carl will sell you the whole seat but you'll only need

the edge. Because comedians come in a car. I hate that. Hilarious comedians. It's so worst. Well, Kevin, I apologize in advance for the show, but I am personally looking forward to it. And I hope that everyone will join us again next week because it might be the episode of a ReFind out once and for all who are these podcasts sleep well every

pony. I'm gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one who's gonna be the one I don't know. I don't get it. Makes no sense. Are these podcasts? I don't know. I don't get it. Makes no sense.
