Episode 1: Canadian Doubles
Episode 1: Canadian Doubles!
00: Micah Sherman and Josh Gondelman are three sets of two things.
Different planets have different seasons.
Alternate potential names for the show are considered. It's not too late for it to be “DON'T hang out with me!” 05: Podcast journalist Kyle is in the room, taking notes. (Not these notes though. These are Ronald Riley's. Not this parenthetical though. This is Myq Kaplan's editorial privilege taking effect.)
Micah was a good stand-up, but he hated it.
Why can’t Israel and Palestine work it out? 10: Micah compares improv to stand-up with a sexy analogy. Or maybe it's a sexual one that isn't sexy. You be the judge!
War is murder with a side of God.
Sometimes it rains frogs. 15: There were no Jews at a yacht club Myq performed at.
The guys don’t like the beach.
Myq knows Zach Galifianakis better than people he doesn’t know.
Micah and Myq have a musical act. They don't perform any music on this show, but you can get their album, “Please Be Seated.” (This is another note not fully written by Ronald Riley, but by again Myq's editorial fascism.) 20: Josh breaks down the symbiosis between Myq and Micah.
Comedians use words, except for Charlie Chaplain, Mr. Bean, and Jim Carrey.
Funny is funny. Or is it? 25: The guys make new words and weird noises.
There are too many podcasts to listen to, but you can like as many as you want.
Maria Bamford is a white person, not a man. 30: Myq does some impressions. (Not usually, just here.)
Jealousy is a flaw in yourself.
Myq’s life is pretty good, but the Chinese could take over, or the Earth could explode.
Comedy is not like the Olympics or a boxing match. Good comedy leads to more comedy.
35: Batman sound effects. “Smash! Zoom! Pow! Kane! Rosebud!”
Josh should tell people he’s the nicest guy in comedy, and he has clean toes. 40: The world isn’t fair. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is good, but sometimes you get cancer and die.
E-mail question from Nat: where's the best falafel in Somerville. Google it, and select from the three that come up.
Final remarks. Josh had a pleasure. Micah gets more and more happy. Myq is bad at ending things.
Episode 1a: Candian Doubles (FAST version)
00: “FAST” stands for “For A Short Time.”
Micah wants to do reverse talking.
Hobbit phone plan.
There are twice as many fart sounds in the fast version. 05: Nobody goes to internet websites anymore. It’s all Chat Roulette and MUDs.
“Bach humbug.” Josh isn’t nice sometimes. Chicken noises. Bad business name puns. Josh still has great toes.
Anything can happen, including more fart noises.
