Adam Carolla, The Adam Carolla Show, funny, but he can get old after awhile...sometimes the bitching wears me down...he could use a good anti-depressant...but he is probably the quickest comedian alive.
Joe Rogan, The Joe Rogan Experience, very funny, often says what I'm thinking...for a rich, famous comedian, nobody is more grounded and never lets a guest off the hook if they say or do something stupid. His sidekick, Redban, is quite possibly, the most annoying human being on the planet...and Rogan always lets him know about it...3 hour podcasts...
Greg Fitzsimmons, Fitzdog Radio, also very funny, a frequent guest on both of the men above shows...very honest guy about his flaws...makes it easy to relate to him...His sidekick, Mike Gibbons, is one of the funnier men you've never heard of...
Jay Mohr, Mohr Stories, CAN be funny, but it's real hard to listen to this guy...always talks over the guests...HUGE ego, although he can be hard on himself, which makes him easier to listen to...does great impressions, BUT, he does them over and over again, to the point where you cringe when he does them...
Marc Maron, WTF, great interviewer, probably the best...gets famous people (primarily comedians) to open their souls...very neurotic--think Woody Allen--but very funny...definitely, this guy grows on you...if you look through his list of previous guests, nobody gets the quality of celebrities that Maron does. Sweet spot with musicians...his interview with Dave Grohl and Jack White are worth paying for...
Bill Burr, Monday Morning Podcast, another favorite of mine...Adam Carolla could learn a thing or two from Burr...Billy Boy gets big points by admitting when he is full of bullspit, something Carolla hasn't figured out...Burr's laugh is one of the greats...Lots of sports commentary, but very honest...maybe his best is the advice he gives to reader letters...brutal, honest, hilarious, and genuine...Listen and go friend yourself....
Bryan Callen, The Bryan Callen Show, funny guy, you may know him from the Hangover movies, good buddy of Joe Rogan, likes talking about how handsome he and his body are, but the self-loathing comes through the cracks, he's a bleeding heart libertarian...
The Naked Scientists Podcast, hey, I'm a science geek and I love when things are explained to me...these Brits do it with smarts, humour and do it quickly...it's amazing how much they cover in 60 to 90 minutes...podcasts usually take on a rough subject and do a bunch of different topics that range from a minute to 5 minutes...you'll always learn cool stuff from this show...
Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuckers are geeks, but they don't take it so seriously...they cover all kinds of cool topics and their shows never go more than 30 minutes...if you've ever seen the "How Things Work" books or website, you'll love this podcast...maybe the best thing about this show is you get the feeling you could do the show, and Josh and Chuck know it...
Dan Savage, Savage Lovecast, Dan Savage has one of the more interesting shows out there...maybe you've seen his columns in the back of alternative weeklies...not for the faint of heart if anything sexual gets you squeamish...but Savage is one of the funnier guys out there...You better not be threatened by gay guys, because Dan will have that
all up in your grill, but not in the way you're thinking...
Oh yeah, my iPhone is loaded...I bought a little amplifier that attaches to the phone for ear-bleeding pleasure....
