Podcasting Day: The Comedy Inside Baseball Trap With Soren Bowie 🌭
Added 2021-05-12 12:00:07 +0000 UTC
Technically, today is a Podcasting Day. Technically, we have an amazing guest for you: Soren Bowie -- the Ace with the Face, the Chin for the Win, the Man So Nice His Name is a Knife. That doesn’t rhyme but it does knife. Three-time voted Handsomest Soren on After Hours, former Cracked editor and columnist, current writer for American Dad and co-host of the excellent Quick Question podcast with his longtime comedy partner and friend, Daniel O’Brien.
It’s a big get! We’re so excited to have him!
But we don’t have a podcast for you today. What we have instead is a challenge: Can you listen to all of this? You won’t win anything. Not even our respect. And still we ask: Can you make it to the end, coward?
This is a bad podcast! And we did it sort of on purpose, and we’re kind of in love with how it turned out. Now we dare you to even try it.
It is several hours of three former Cracked writers talking inside baseball about writing internet comedy, and it takes the form of us bringing our own articles to read, and then at the last minute… Seanbaby insists we switch parts. We read comedy not meant to be read aloud, not written for our voice, that we did not not prepare for and may not fully understand! For several hours! If you’ve got a spare laptop to burn down, you can visit our former employer and try to read Sean’s article here, Soren’s here, and you can play Brockway’s game right here.
You can actually hear us learn to hate as it goes on. Listen to the joy leave our voices as each of us falls into the trap we laid for ourselves. Brockway has chronic tendonitis in his jaw - this podcast actually physically defeats him toward the end. But we keep going.
This might be art -- we might have done our first art!
You technically can follow us wherever you get podcasts, and it is possible for you to leave us a nice review here.
Technically. Possible.
If we haven't burned all of your goodwill already, there's new merch in the store! Tell people what you think of reading (it's fucking crazy) with this shirt about stuff that's fucking crazy (reading!)

What a great choice for Seanbaby's article the only one I would have preferred more is rag doll physics article. Great episode

2021-05-16 05:13:56 +0000 UTCI would sign on for Sean reading a Brockway article about anime any day of the week.

2021-05-15 11:49:34 +0000 UTCI just want to say that I am NOT a casual reader, and if you want to write 80 pages about a comic book or a semi-pornographical video I am 100% in for it.

2021-05-14 02:59:34 +0000 UTCPodcast-wise, I was in the Dogg Zone for TWO hours. The nitrate power slowly ebbed as our podcasters mired deeper and deeper in ennui.

2021-05-13 21:18:23 +0000 UTCThis HAS to be a recurring feature. Brockway reads one of Sean's old articles - preferably one which is really funny, but which throws around words like "fag", "rape", "pussy" and "retard" like they were going out of fashion (they were). So we get a fun article AND we get to hear Sean squirm and apologise.

2021-05-13 12:27:37 +0000 UTCWhen I heard the premise of this podcast, I had my fingers crossed you would use Soren's erotic novel article. I would have also been fine with the one where he gets drunk looking for birds with his wife, but the erotic novel is fantastic! Thank you, guys.

2021-05-13 04:21:04 +0000 UTCWait, we don’t still like Ska? I wasn’t ready to hear that and you can’t unring that bell. I guess every day is upsetting day.

2021-05-12 18:20:33 +0000 UTCAs a nerd who was a big fan since the EGM days, sometimes Seanbaby's MMA articules were like the worst dish at the best restaurant: I'll consume this and enjoy it, but I'd rather be getting something else. Still, this one in particular was very fun. I can't speak for the other groups mentioned, but as a very vocally woke member of The Gays(TM), I don't find the gay jokes offensive, the joke is the overlapping in the behavior of two straight men trying to profesionally hurt each other, with that of two androphilic men trying to intimately pleasure each other, and it's funny. Also, I unironically had been wondering for decades how the "AIEEEEEE" was supposed to sound, I always read it like Brokway said and felt weird.

2021-05-12 16:10:49 +0000 UTCDang it. The Story of Kazuki Fujita’s Skull was one of my favorite Seanbaby articles. What am I about to experience?

2021-05-12 14:51:31 +0000 UTCYou dare question my ability to slog through hours of depressing and/or maddening podcasting content?! Challenge accepted!

2021-05-12 13:38:05 +0000 UTCSeveral hours of funny people and in Soren’s case funny and handsome, just put it in my veins. Or ears. Whatever it’s gonna get where it needs to go.
