The Micropodcast

Mike tells a story where he came up with a joke that no one got because Rich Evans wasn't there.

Comments

I appreciate the fact that the only micropodcast episode ever was done because Mike needed recognition of his, admittedly very good, joke.

Chili Man

now I have to look up the word plbeians

Forbes

It took me a second but yes, very good joke

Sidney Hackney

We're gonna need a working RSS feed for everyone's favorite new microcast

Kirk G.

May I make a request that you just completely ignore A*atar 2? Just don’t even mention it. Honestly if I never watch that film it’ll be too soon. Can we just wish it and all its sequels away by just pretending they don’t exist?

Lee Noble

That WAS a perfect joke.

Keith Feinstein

Why wasn't Rich invited to brunch?

J21balls

For all the rippin on Jay for being a bougie kid (having cable) and then to casually mention "brunch"???

Kate Gottli

DS1 was oversexualized and gross. Too ambitious for such a low budget! At least they knew what they were capable of in DS2. In true Roger Corman fashion- there is reused footage in DS2 from DS1 which funny director Jim Wynorski is absolutely LIVID about still to this day!

James Quinn

Hey guys, new Patron here! 😃 since you’ve renewed Monique Gabrielle’s shining star, and rediscovered her in Silk2 & EvilToons, I challenge you to take a 2nd look at Deathstalker2- the dvd commentary is hilarious and explains all. I think at the time you unfairly thought it was just another DS1. Y’all’s reaction to DS2 was a major letdown to me, I love it 😻 never saw DS1 either (until waaaay later).

James Quinn

That was the best first and last micropodcast ever. Actually, it reminds me of Matt Stone/Trey Parker micro-commentaries for the South Park DVDs. Get in, get out boom boom.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Now I'm looking forward to our boys co-hosting a History Guy video.

Katy

I hope this becomes a regular thing.

Gavin Redmond

It's like poetry because it rhymes

Jordan B

God finally

naaro

Don't let shatner see this or his head will explode

Tomas

But is Rich Evans on the juice or not.

Juan Calvo

A Truman reference reinforces my faith in RLM.

Michael Puttré

Dang now I just want an RLM micropodcast

Tim Temmerman

Rich is me and I am Rich, I laughed out loud as soon as Mike said "Dewey defeats".

Josh A

I feel this is a Nerd Crew style parody coming on. Of those Youtube podcasts with zero video and just some people talking behind a flat image of something.

James Van Sickle

For a while, someone in my small town had a yard sign for their kid to be elected President. Like most political humor, it was cute at first but got old quickly over time.

James Van Sickle

People could submit historical topics and you guys can talk about them and Mike can come up with half jokes while he's waiting in line at the grocery store or something....

mgarrow1971

No... no, it doesn't...

Manuel Johnen

All prose must be spare and true

Jesse DeStasio

I would listen to a podcast with historical, political, social topics hosted by you, because I trust that you would find an a-political angle (meaning: without falling into the trap of group think, and without messaging or preaching). Kind of like Plinkett without Plinkett. If that makes sense.

Marvin Falz

And there I thought they would forget to plug their sponsors :)

Volker Bach

If this had the podcast music from the boomer fight episode it'd be just perfect

Michael

Excellent Micropodcast, shame to hear it's coming to an end.

Jamie Harrold

I know it’ll probably never happen but you guys seriously need a real podcast. I could listen to you guys talk all day. I’ve listened to your Bunny Ears episodes an unhealthy amount of times.

Cruz Rivera

Beautiful

Alison Schmidt

Of course Rich got it, he voted in that election.

Dane Liergaard

Mike is such a clever boy. <3

Kerri Lewis

I'm from continental Europe and got it immediately. I suspect the author of the sign had this exact intention in mind. Better explain the joke in detail on my SquareSpace website that I feel compelled to make even though I didn't get a promo code but fuck it I guess.

Bill Wilson

I really hope so. It's been too long.

Fidel Spears

Ooooh fuck yeah, that would be awesome! They never do them anymore since people started stealing them for yt videos. I was wondering why they would be recording audio only but that makes sense.

Agent Chodey Banks

This sounds like a snippet from a new movie commentary.

Rick Drake

Eddie Izzard would be proud… the only standup with the BALLS to do layered historical humor

Daniel

Make the sign and leave it on the neighbours lawn in the dead of night.

Goldy Loxx

Soon as you said "Dewey Defeats Human", I busted out laughing...same time as Rich did. Is this like an audio version of those short vertical video clips on YouTube featuring cute cats and young ladies dressing up like pirates...?

Timothy Liebe

We literally just went over this in class and I did not get this at all. I'll try it on my dad.

Melissa Deuber

got a laugh from me, the girlfriend was crickets hehe

Charlie Murphy

I’m so glad they finally did another podcast episode, but is this going to replace Half in the Bag?

Blue Cheese

Release the macropodcast cut! 4 hour episode with an additional bonus 1 hour of Rich laughing on a loop.

Kostas P

i like that they released this just because mike told a joke jay and freddie didnt get and he didn't want to repeat it for JUST rich evans

bingo bango

The laugh that joke conjured in me was not dissimilar to Rich's laugh. This made my day, thank you.

Ken

I'm genuinely surprised that Jay and Freddie didn't get Mike's joke. Also, Mike's joke is truly excellent. It made me laugh.

Matthew Dolmage

So much content from one Freddie visit!

cynthia

What the fuck is this shit? [edit: it was just normal shit, not worth getting hyped over]

Will Sullivan

Mike your voice gives me ASMR tinglies

Rhea

Playback cut off for me at the exact moment rich started to explain the joke. I thought that was part of the episode for a minute

run_away

This joke made my day. Thank you Mike.

Shane Watner

Is this that so called “Podcast with Effort” Oldman Shatner was rambling about on Twitter?!

Paladin

Mike and Rich are my favorite elderly gay couple.

Manic Velocity

I feel the only winner here is Squarespace

Sherry Schuderer

"Sorry Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." So powerful, i cried.

Niko

A Mike-ro Podcast

Christopher Boyle

Nerdbox got liquidated 3 years back.

Dustin Smith

"A newspaper, you say? What's that?"

M B

That's SO neat, Mike. Well done.

Carly

This is borderline experimental.

Nicholas Hewko

You took Freddie out to brunch without me?

Ken Harris

Of course Rich got the joke, he was working the newspaper route that day.

Keanu

Living 10 minutes from the Truman presidential library I got it immediately. Excellent work.

James Robbins

Subcribed!

Mark Fetherston

I really hope this is an extra from a recently recorded commentary track, it would be a Christmas miracle.

jas722

You know we all think you guys would actually do a great podcast, just finally do it.

Aaron Austin

Damn yall lost the NerdBox sponsor? SMH

Derek Lane

I want more of a P-Cast!

Ifrit9

They should’ve reminded everyone of their Scottish landlord tree planting sponsor too!

Stephen J

I expected as much !

Stephen J

BRING BACK NERD CREW NOW

sacch

Shout out to Edo SZ, aka the Yakuza font

Adam Rhodes 536

Rich should have just kept explaining and overexplaining the joke for Jay as he continually reminds he had this explained yesterday.

Michael Nuccio

They've already reviewed it

Gar Kelleher

You make fun but I would listen to this podcast religiously if it existed. I honestly love the pitch and tone of Mike’s voice. You should send this to Shatner, get him on board!

Amanda Foster

Who in 2022 doesn’t love a 1948 presidential election joke?!

Andrew Wenzel

Great podcast series. Informative, funny, Rich Evans. 10/10. Will petition for renewal.

Gar Kelleher

Sensational joke, Mike.

Sean

SquareSpace in for the win!

Lionel Mandrake

Expected deep-cut Star Trek joke, but i'm also happy to receive a top tier history joke

Jacob A. Wright

that was really clever!

Brendan McDonald

I got the joke.

Martin Kessler

is batman in the pipeline?
