0013 - Romba Cinema: Mens' Podcasts
Added 2023-07-28 17:00:04 +0000 UTCDecoder key: Exercise fads; UFC + bogus philosophy + targeted ads; endurance bores; bitcoin nonsense; Alex Jones.
It occurred to me recently how much podcasts have in common with the AM radio of my grandfather’s carport, eternally nattering and fizzing on with a slow baseball game or a distrait and bloodless narration of business affairs. Where is the automated service that edits today's podcasts down to the 0-3 minutes of worthwhile content they might contain? When does that come out? When does that come out.

I think it may also mean that Telegram Sam has a shapely alter ego

2023-08-27 18:36:19 +0000 UTCI hate understanding this

2023-08-19 05:16:39 +0000 UTCWhat's that, Robert Plant? A new Achewood? Wonderful! I'll log on right away!
Chris Martin
2023-07-30 19:53:36 +0000 UTCPodcasts are not always like this. Chris, you ought to check out The Blindboy Podcast. https://www.patreon.com/theblindboypodcast Maybe even appear as a guest? I'm sure you would both have much to say about being a creator on the 00s internet.

2023-07-30 13:57:21 +0000 UTCThose sound hilarious, do you have a link?
Andrew Gillies
2023-07-30 04:45:23 +0000 UTCI'm still raw about Triangle Man taking an L even after he got off the poisonous seed based oils and started microdosing
Christopher Craft
2023-07-30 01:41:30 +0000 UTCCould be! You might have to start scratching the bottom of the barrel like /r/High Strangeness or something, although it sounds familiar. The Mel's Hole episodes to me will always be the Apex.

2023-07-30 01:37:43 +0000 UTCThere was an Art Bell episode once where he or some insane mountain man that he had on as a guest described being terrorized as a child by long, emaciated ape arms that would come out from under his bed and pin him to the mattress. Ape arms. I have scoured the internet for evidence of this episode but I guess it's once of those things that I might as well have dreamed.

Nicholas Williams
2023-07-30 01:28:59 +0000 UTCI was just about to say, is this the one where if you are listening on the internet instead of radio, they go on a bit longer while the tea is brewing?
Jeffrey Rubinoff
2023-07-29 23:21:11 +0000 UTCIs this one sharable or patron-only? Because I know a lot of people who I would like to share it with.
Jeffrey Rubinoff
2023-07-29 23:18:46 +0000 UTCAs befits the subject.

Minda H
2023-07-29 14:54:21 +0000 UTCI have an entire folder of batshit insane conspiracy theory/pseudo science books that is exactly the kind of nonsense that Roast Beef is talking about in panel 6, with evocative titles like "The Saturn Death Cult" and "Cosmic Death Fungus", the latter of which is probably something Lyle has caught in the past

2023-07-29 02:12:34 +0000 UTCI just feel bad for Chris, since capturing this so well must have taken a lot of soul-destroying research

Rob Dalton
2023-07-28 19:12:13 +0000 UTCOnce I discovered the Art Bell Tape Vault on Spotify my podcast experience truly became that of me in high school, camping in Mendocino County with the scouts, all whilst Scoutmaster Chan directed us to listen to the real truth as Coast To Coast AM blared from his transistor radio.

2023-07-28 19:05:53 +0000 UTCI want to get trapped in the back seat of a smart car with Pat so he can make me eat vegan gummies while he tells me how the blockchain is SUPPOSED to work.
J Hardy Carroll
2023-07-28 18:43:47 +0000 UTCIs Beef channeling Pat in panel 5? Because you just know that Pat has a lot of opinions about non-fungible tokens.

2023-07-28 18:36:50 +0000 UTCJoe Rogan told me to only buy bitcoin when the price is super high because that means it's worth more, and that's what I do in between my 7 daily doses of Malenhantz usepromocoderfkjr2024

2023-07-28 18:07:15 +0000 UTCIt means Pentagram Sam knows how to pick UFC fighters, and you can ask Particle Man and Person Man about that.

2023-07-28 17:49:16 +0000 UTCThis is why men feel the urge to reject another Zeppelin reunion and embrace more Robert Plant solo albums in the nanosecond before ejaculation.

Eric O'Brien
2023-07-28 17:11:55 +0000 UTCThe only podcast I listen to is 3 British people trying to discuss literature while a 4th keeps interrupting them because a BBC exec will get angry if they go over exactly 45 minutes
Minda H
2023-07-28 17:09:23 +0000 UTCSee, this is why my main podcast is a little something called “living in a humble little place where soil comes halfway up the walls outside and you have plenty of time to think”. It is suffering.
Bungus Bronbo
2023-07-28 17:07:08 +0000 UTCI feel enraged, engorged, enlightened, and enfrightened. Satire is truly holding a mirror to society's Pandora's box's paradigm.
