Jesus Ramones, my oldest brother, Muditious, helped me fill the empty space where I'm bad at scheduling interviews. We've been feeling the effects of the “grind” - the constant pushing towards our goals outside of our money-making jobs. We also frame this analysis of the grind with Kanye West's The College Dropout, the effects of Kanye's own grind. We also discuss ideas around selling out, separating art from the artist, Bo Burnham's INSIDE, authenticity as artists, and much more. Enjoy!

Hi, all. Hilary and Megan are back after a lengthy hiatus to deliver you an episode that was recorded in June. Life happens, alas. In this episode, we dive into our initial findings upon viewing Inside, our relationship to Bo Burnham (not personal - we'll get to that next episode) and the pervasive and dangerous nature of the internet. Thanks for bearing with us; we've missed you!
Let's get existential!! This week, we discuss Bo Burnham's special Inside, and the Disney-Pixar film Soul. How much did we love Bezos I? Was Bijou just absolutely wrong about Soul? WHAT DO THE ENDINGS MEAN?!? All that and more answered on this episode of Fluent in Fandoms! Bezos I animation: https://youtu.be/vTyeZjo7n_M
This week, host Jesse David Fox decides to give the people what they want: some Bo Burnham's Inside content! BUT Bo isn't doing any interviews, so an episode of Jesse's Patreon podcast, The Specials, will have to suffice. The Specials is a podcast devoted to the fine and noble art of stand-up comedy, hosted by journalist and comedy expert Jesse David Fox (Vulture, Good One); writer and critic Kathryn VanArendonk (Vulture); and producer/comedy fan Jessamine Molli. Every episode, Jesse, Kathryn, and Jessamine dissect, rate, and review a stand-up special. It could be a classic like Dave Chappelle's Killing Them Softly or a newer special like Maria Bamford's Old Baby. We could also review something bad...for a price. Whatever we review, you'll hear the three of us do a deep dive into the cultural and artistic significance of the comedian in question and his or her work. If you are a fan of stand-up, this is an essential listen. Subscribe to the podcast on Patreon. You can follow Kathryn on Twitter. Follow Jesse David Fox on Twitter and Instagram.

Bo Burnham's Inside (2021) is one of the most unique things you'll see on Netflix. It's an angsty and existential one-man musical comedy about isolation. Though COVID-19 is never mentioned in the piece, it looms large, giving it the kind of “horror” vibes one can pick up from a pandemic thriller like Contagion. Like the film, we find ourselves in a few ranty digressions that will make total sense if you listen to us frequently, but may confuse the uninitiated.
"I don't know about you guys, but, um, you know, I've been thinking recently that… that you know, maybe, um, allowing giant digital media corporations to exploit the neurochemical drama of our children for profit… You know, maybe that was, uh… a bad call by us. Maybe… maybe the… the flattening of the entire subjective human experience into a… lifeless exchange of value that benefits nobody, except for, um, you know, a handful of bug-eyed salamanders in Silicon Valley… Maybe that as a… as a way of life forever… maybe that's, um, not good." Steve and Christian watched Bo Burnham's new Netflix comedy special, "Inside." They discuss the pandemic, feeling trapped "inside," and technology. We do more than simply offer reviews. Just like a bee can take good things from flowers (and leave the rest behind), we can learn to take the good things from pop culture as we seek to open ourselves to Christ and His saving work in our lives. It's Orthodox Christian engagement with today's culture.
Tuesday – Simone Biles withdrew from team competition and we discuss if it was the right move. More people are home schooling due to Covid, will that trend continue? We talk about getting fired in radio. We review Bo Burnham's Inside for WYDTN. Plus, WOKE News, Jack's Olympic Update, Trivia & Last Call.
For this special episode, Nate, Nathaniel, and John are joined by Caroline Wigmore, and the group riffs in response to Bo Burnham's recent Netflix comedy special Inside. We discuss different styles of contemporary comedy, the role of self-awareness in critique, the dynamics of cancel culture, branding, and many more concepts that Burnham's provocative special engages.
It's nice to still be surprised in this job.In this installment of the Critic's Corner I will admit I was caught 100% off guard. When 'In The Seats' editor and long time friend Paolo Kagaoan wanted to come on and talk about Bo Burnham's 'Inside'...it felt like we were just talking about yet another comedy special...but boy was I wrong.This comedy special (which could EASILY border on being called an experimental film) is really something special and simply demands to be seen. Paolo and I wax philosophical about the art of a man singing songs while dancing around in his underwear...Bo Burnham's "Inside" is on Netflix now...and it just might be the experience of the year
John and David discuss lil bowow.... and some comedy special or something. We're going to go where everybody knows. Spoilers for inside? In case somehow you don't know.... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/terrible-place/support

Hello, friend-o! As our announcer, Bill Heywatt, says, I AM Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly-host of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast soundcast. And this is Epi260, clocking in just as we pass the half-year mark for 2021. Here in the US we've got COVID-19 on the run, except for those pesky variants. If you are elsewhere in the world, here's hoping for the best for you and yours. Before I get into the comedy soundcasts that I will be featuring clips from this week, let me check in and ask if you were able to catch last week's installment, Epi259, with my alternating co-host Tyson Saner, in which he featured snippets from Self Esteem Party, Conversation For Adults, and Comedy Bang Bang. You can catch that show, or any other past ‘sode, at our homesite SuccotashShow.com. You can also get pretty far back at Apple or Google Podcasts, Spotify, Sticher, and even SoundCloud will let you flip back a few weeks. For the shows I'm clipping this week, I just kind of took a scattershot look through a number of comedy soundcast lists for 2021 and snagged a couple from some I heard recently and a couple I hadn't even heard of until this week. We've got samples from Better Off Better, BHHcast, Play With Pain, and Plumbing the Death Star. I also have a brief moment from a bit I contributed to from The Los Angeles Breakfast Club: On The Air, a soundcast hosted by Phil Leirness that I serve as the announcer for. This episode is sponsored by Henderson's Pants new Space Pants – Henderson's, where no pants have gone before! Before we get to the clippage, I wanted to give a recommendation to a pretty bold comedy-slash-psychological experiment currently on Netflix. If you haven't caught Bo Burnham's Inside special, you might want to check it out. Don't be expecting to see him enteraining a crowd of people in a theater, though. This is way different. Very unique. It's his exploration of his comedy during the pandemic, where the entire show takes place in one room and he's apparently doing all the tech himself. Lots of talking to the camera and to himself. There's music, confessions, and tears. I found one of the songs, “White Woman's Instagram” from the special up on YouTube so I thought I'd throw it in here. The lyrics are amazingly on-tone but you should check out the video from the special because Bo's visual interpretation of the subject in question is fantastic. I found Inside pretty powerful and totally captivating. And just a tad claustrophobic. If you're up for something different, whether you know Bo's work or not, check it out on Netflix. Alright, let's get into THIS show now, and onto the clips! Play With PainFull disclosure before I continue: I am not a sports fan. Never have been and likely never will be. I'm not sure why, but watching games live or on TV has never grabbed me. Football, baseball, basketball, soccer, the Olympic events – just not my thing. The pity of it is that there are a lot of comedy soundcasts that are connected to sports, either directly or just because the hosts and guests are into them. Like the Monday Morning Podcast with Bill Burr. I love Burr. He's one of the funniest humans around today. But as soon as he goes into a sptry about sports or having watched some game or another over the weekend, I'm lost. But I hereby resolve to better. For YOU. And I'm going to start with Play with Pain with Chet Waterhouse. Now Chet is a character, an old play-by-play sports announcer, as created and played by comedian Jeff Cesario. He usually has a comedian on as a guest, someone else who's at least somewhat into sports, and they kickk around a lot of the sports news of the day. We're clipping a recent show with guest Paul “Sully” Sullivan but he was a little audio glitchy on the show so I'm just featuring Chet's sports update, a regular feature on the show. Plumbing the Death StarI am rarely surprised any more when I find a soundcast that I think no one else knows about and then find out it's a pretty big hit and has been for a while. The soundcast world is just too damn big now to get that lucky. But I'm glad I found Plumbing the Death Star. Out of Australia and the wonderfully named Sanspants Radio Netowkr, the show features Joel L. Zammit, Jackson B. Daly, and another Joel, Joel Duscher. The loosely-wrapped premise of the show is to bring logic into the worlds of fantasy and sci-fi and pop culture in general. Our featured clip is from their recent episode entitled “Is It Ethical to Bust Ghosts?”, which means it only took them until now to get around to an almost 40-year-old movie. Although with the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife supposed to drop this Fall, maybe it couldn't be more timely. Better Off BetterTouting their show Better Off Better as “a comedic, cut-throat journey to self-betterment”, hosts Chris K. Daniels, Jenny Whipple, and Sam Caswell are constantly challenging each other to get better and, well, being better. Called “The best comedy podcast of 2021” by their moms, each episode features a new wrinkle in how to make oneself better. At least in theory. For their recent 50th episode, the trio decided to go hairless down south of the border by using a couple of “experimental hair removal” techniques: Sugar Waxing and Sandpaper Shaving. How did it all come out? Or off? We don't have time to get into the whole thing on our show, but here's a taste… BHHcastThe “Bah-cast”, which is actually spelled BHHcast, features hosts Jamie Bendall, Adam Haigh, and Jamie Hernan, interviews comedians and other guests with, as they put it, an incredible backstory. The kickoff to their Season 5 a little over a month ago, an episode entitled “Tandem Skydiving” featured comedian and family man Paul Virzi. Reflecting what I was saying earlier in this show, the BHHcast seems to dip heavily into sports and I listened diligently, although our clip gets more into a show that Paul had a little while back called Gun To Your Head, where he would force his guests to make tough decisions based on the premise there was a gun to your head so you HAD to answer. The gang decides to play a little of that game here… The music I'm using under the TweetSack listings this week, by the way, was composed and performed by my buddy DJ Knifeketeer. That particular number is called “Rocket Hat on the Run” and you can find the entire Rocket Hat soundtrack on YouTube by subscribing to DJ Knifeketeer. If you were hoping for more of episode 260 of this show, I'm afraid that's our time. You may, of course, listen to it back again as many times as you like. And if you hang out in this same feed next week, you'll be treated to my compadre Tyson Saner and his newest selection of soundcastd clippage for you. Special thanks to our announcer Bill Heywatt and our amazing producer/engineer Joe Paulino, not to mention booth assistant Kenny Durgess, our secret weapon and the hardest working man in soundcasting next to Paul F. Tompkins. Enjoy your summer while you can, check out some if not all of the soundcasts we've sampled for you here today, and if anyone ever asks if you've heard anything good lately, please be sue to pass the Succotash, won't you? — Marc Hershon
Hey Coconuts! We had an absolute blast watching Bo Burnham's Inside. It's on Netflix! Give it a look see and tell us what you think! In this episode we share our take on Bo's insight of the world! One of the things we really learnt was that we don't have to have opinions about everything under the sun nor should we demand opinions from 'our influencers' because at the end of the day we are all students. PS. Meral's mic was stolen by Anarkali which is why she sounds like she's underwater. Also Juneteenth is banned in some states not countries!

The unlikely influence of pastor John MacArthur, a longstanding interest in religion, stumbling at the end of this first summer session of Chinese, the impact on my confidence, shooting poorly at the range, bleeding chess rating points, feeling creatively deflated also, my suspicion that Bo Burnham's "Inside" will devastate me, betraying my own creative muse, the numinous nature of creativity and inspiration, the creative conversation happening through time and feeling called to contribute to it, feeling like Moses who was kept out of the promised land, and the formative events of your life sounding like a fairy tale to younger generations.
