I know you're all feeling the sting of the podcast season being over. What will you stick in your pink little ear canals for the next few months? Luckily, your boy Brendo has you covered:
- Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller has always been a bit of a hero of mine - he's gone from being just one of the funniest and most entertaining magicians of all time to one of the country's leading athiests, skeptics and bullshit debunkers. While his daily radio show covers many of these controversial topics and never fails to offer a well-reasoned and unique point of view, it's mostly laughs. Vegas stories, Sigfried and Roy jokes - and do NOT miss when Gilbert Gottfried stops by. In fact, that's a rule you should live by always.
- Jimmy Pardo: unless you're a big ol' comedy nerd like me, you probably haven't heard of Pardo, but he's one of the premier comics working today. His show is simply funny people being funny. It's a relatively new show, so it's tough to know how consistent it will be, but put a mic in front of a talented comic and you'll usually be ok. His is the second podcast of the burgeoning network over at A Special Thing, which is a site specifically tailored to pale, friendless comedy geeks such as your buddy here. But hey - you don't need to be nerdy to get your larf on. Who doesn't like a good larf, fa?
- Adam Carolla: if you only know Carolla from The Man Show or that crappy Comedy Central talk show, you've missed out on his true talents. When it comes to improv comedy on the radio, he's up there with Howard Stern. For reals. On his old Love Line show, he could make side-splitting 20-minute bits out of NOTHING. While he does five hours a day on the West Coast, for a while Free FM (CBS Radio) was only making 1-2 minute clips of the show available for download. Luckily, they've recently expanded that to 15-20 minutes a day, so you can truly get your Adam fix. Searchable on iTunes under his name, I believe.
I've only been listening for a few days and already been rewarded with a few Carolla gems:
"I've figured out my new porn name: Duke LaCrosse."
Talking to a Scientology expert: "I read about this silent birth and I'd like to somehow expand that into the 'silent marriage'."
So you guys are good and squared away with listening material. No complaining until the 2nd season starts, kay? Kay.
ADDENDUM: Hey kids, I don't usually add on to the journal this late in the day, but I just realized I neglected to mention something vaguely on subject - our new buddy Mach Bell from our 1st round Rumble co-horts Mach 5 hosts his first podcast on the history of Boston rock. Those into the local rock history should check it out - no one knows better than the man himself. The link is on the upper right corner of that page.

You spelled 'atheist' wrong. Enjoy hell.
Does hell have a wing for bad spellers?
By the way, Vin - I've been peeking in your bedroom windows lately with my high-powered telescope.
Worst. Christian. EVER.
If I want to eat a delicious, succulent roast duck on Fridays during Lent, in the privacy of my own darkened, patchouli-scented bedroom, then that is between me and my Lord and Savior, my man.
Yes, but what about all that coveting? I've never seen a man so openly covet.
They're golf clubs, not heroin, man. Jebus.
i don't care how many suggestions you give us to try to fill the void...
it's just not the same.

I write "no complaining" and the first thing she does is write and complain.
All viable options, but none of which will Set You Str8.
I haven't listened to the last podcast yet. I think I will save it for some sad, rainy day...

i thought this was one of those situations where you say you don't want anyone to say anything about how much they'll miss the podcast, but REALLY you were just begging for people to respond the way i did.
you're a tricky little bastard sometimes, you know that?
i was just trying to be nice :)
Ok, sorry - Keith says I've been looking for fights since the Rumble ended
But Keith's an asshole.
I'm not going to fight you, Brendan. Not now. I'm busy.
pssh. i can take you, Brendo the Rear-Endo
don't think i'm not going to lay the smack down on your ass.
"don't think i'm not going to lay the smack down on your ass."
Fantastic. Now I have visions of black tar heroin being gingerly doled out on Brendan's tuckus.
Oof.
I've been soundly defeated by the "Brendo the Rear Endo" comment. I'm done.
First the Rumble, now this.
