BEST OF HMS PODCASTS - Friday July 9, 2021

Hey sorry, it's been a second, there's kind of a virus thing. But hey! We're back, so buckle up because this is a bumpy one. Come just sit and listen to the time we recored ourselves to hear us reminisce and tell of our fondest memories throughout high school (or something like that).

Going head to head this week is Hoegaarden from Belgium and Xingu from Brazil!

In this week's show, Mike gets shamed by the crew for turning off Star Trek: First Contact. Patrick talks way too much about Kevin Costner, and there is some talk from Drew and Myles about comics? I'm not sure... I can't remember.

The boys are back! Because you all missed them so much, right? Well, stop on by for a spell and listen to us talk about (placeholder text for stuff we talked about on the podcast)!

In this week's show, the guys talk about Season Two of Telltale's The Walking Dead and a whole lot about the merits of Image comics Spawn. Also, they play a round of trivia!

In this weeks show Mike is the one that actually brings up Batman! Has Hell frozen over?! Also, Mike and Myles talk about Ghosts. Figures. And a bunch of other stuff gets talked about! And a round of Would You Rather!

With Mike out this week, Myles, Patrick, and Drew host the most riveting of conversations about the meaning of life and the creation of the universe. Just kidding, they probably talked about Batman.

Mike blows Patrick’s mind with cereal telepathy. Drew shares some thoughts on the PlayStation 4. Myles talks about something. The boys play some Would You Rather. Then they go on a tangent about comic book movies.

Drew, Myles, Mike and Patrick are joined by Mike's wife Sarah to talk about a trip to Japan, find out who guessed the weirdest thing in Japan, play Onion or Not Onion, and a little Would You Rather.

We try for all of five minutes to talk about something other than Batman but then proceed to talk about Batman. Hope you like Batman!

We chat slightly about Halloween and then talk about Batman for 30 minutes. Honesty is the best policy!

In this pretty boring episode Mike is gone and Rebecca joins in while we continue to talk about Halloween and then play Batman Trivia. SPOILER WARNING:Rebecca doesn't win.

On this week's show, Patrick, Mike, and Myles are a bunch of Halloweenies while Drew just wants to play Hearthstone. We also play a spooky round of Would You Rather!

Patrick, Mike, Drew, and Myles talk about some of the spooky moments in their lives, get hyped for Pokemon X and Y, and chatter a little about Stargate. Also, we play a round of Onion or Real?

Patrick, Mike, and Drew have a Myles-less week as they talk about binging on television and the quality of (and unexpected quality) of The Walking Dead and The New Girl. Also, video game urban legends.

It's been a slow month for gaming, with Joe finishing of "Lego Lord Of The Rings" and jumping in to "Lego Batman 2" and Mitch going back to "Mass Effect 2". We also discuss the games for gold titles this month, as well as Mitch's new ios addiction, "Marvel Puzzle Quest". We then dive into movies with the classic "Vertigo", disappointment over "Iron Man 3", enjoyment of a spoiler-free talk about "Now You See Me", and ambivalence over "Kick Ass 2". We then follow up on the challenge issued last month with Joe tackling "Glengarry Glen Ross" and Coen Brother's, and Mitch falling short on the Daniel Day Lewis challenge, but power watching "There Will Be Blood" and "Last of The Mohicans".

I can’t remember what we talked about because it was a few days ago. Something about Jurassic Park, some GTA, Wind Waker, Castle of Illusion, and some Would You Rather?

Myles, Patrick, Rebecca and Drew talk about Batman villains, Kingdom Hearts, and some other stuff that I can't even remember.

Myles, Patrick, Mike and Drew talk a little about buying TV’s, card and board games, and marrying someone that lives in an inn.

Drew, Myles, Patrick, and Mike are joined by Rebecca again to talk about animal noises, Robocop, Batwoman, Mike’s wife’s shenanigans, and Myles’ sweet new shaggin’ wagon. Also we need to play another round of Anime or Porn?

In this week's show, Drew, Myles, Patrick, and Mike are joined by Rebecca to talk about Bat Affleck, Zack Snyder, playing Devil's Advocate, awkward interjections about horror movies, literal translations and more.

On this week’s episode of Obscure Reference the boys are rambling on again about this, that, and the other. Contents may be hot and may or may not include: PlayStation 4 talk, Would You Rather, a game of Password, a special guest appearance by Billy Crystal, and Myles accidentally traveling through time.* *Contents of the show are subject to change.

On this week’s episode of Obscure Reference the guys talk about music from late 90′s, their favorite mixed drinks, and Would You Rather.

In this weeks show we talk about stuff that I can’t remember because its been a few days since we actually recorded! I’m pretty sure at one point we talked about weird meats?

This week Myles, Patrick, Mike and Drew talk about weird things that happened to them this week, Bioshock Infinite DLC, guilty pleasure music, play some movie trivia, and a round of Notflix.

In this week’s episode the band got back together! It’s a full show and Drew, Mike, Myles and Patrick, A.K.A. The DMMP (read: Dump) talk some nonsense about video games, television and more!

This week Mike is out, so Drew, Myles, and Patrick talk about the comic industry and more!

This week Myles, Patrick, Mike and Drew sing sitcom themes, talk about their 4th of July celebrations, remove more from their Netflix Queue of shame and more!

"This is Marc Hershon and you’re listening to Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast." That's generally how I open the show and - yes - I know it’s repetitive. Me, saying the name of the podcast right after listeners hear the show's opening with our announcer, Bill Haywatt, where HE tells you the name of the show. I bring it up because I’ve been listening – this week in particular – to so many podcasts that don’t ever remind you what you’re listening to that it started to seem odd to me. I know this isn’t terrestrial radio and that podcast listeners what they've downloaded or are streaming. But let's face it: People have terrible memories. (I know I do, as an sampling of one…) So some of you comedy podcasters might think about reminding people the name of the show they’re listening to and also who’s doing the talking. Otherwise it’s going to be a whole lot of “Hey, I heard this great podcast the other day. It had this guy who did that thing, you know? It’s called…something. I think it starts with an 'R'…” And that's not going to help you to get and maintain new listeners. People often ask (or I imagine them asking, anyway…) "How can I help your podcast?" I won't belabor the Donate button on our SuccotashShow.com website. But if that's not what you mean by help, you can always go to iTunes via your computer and look up Succotash in the listings, then click on five stars and jot down a short, 2 or 3 sentence, writeup about how you like the show. If you listen via Stitcher, you can click the Thumbs Up button. And, as always, you can simply just tell your friends about us or, as we like to say, pass the Succotash. BOGANWOOD On the back half of this show, we'll be playing episode 2 of Boganwood. We started playing all eight episodes in the first season last week and we'll do one an episode until they're all played. Just prior to this episode's installment of the novel pod mini-series, I speak with Jason "Jabs" McNamara, the Boganwood head cheese (actually,  as producer, director, writer and talent on the project, he's pretty much all the cheese...) via Skype from Canberra, Australia, and he gets into where the idea for the show came from, the characters and the white trash world they inhabit. THE 10 MOST ACTIVE IN THE STITCHER TOP 100 COMEDY PODCAST LIST Here are the show that were movin' and shakin' this past week as the most as The 10 Most Active On The Stitcher Top 100 Comedy Podcasts: 39. Onion Radio News +38 63. The Naughty Show -12 69. The Champs with Neal Brennan & Moshe Kasher -25 76. Where’s My 40 Acres +38 78. SModcast/Get Up On This +30 86. Vos & Bonnie’s My Wife Hates Me +19 90. The Ricky Gervais Podcast +33 95. Who’s Paying Attention +56 97. Dining With Doug & Karen -30 99. SModcast/FeaB -29 And for those of you keeping track, Succotash this week rang in at #5036, which is up about a thousand places since a month ago, so we’re moving up, too! BURST O' DURST Our Ambassador to the Middle , that Raging Moderate himself, Will Durst, gets a little misty-eared as he regards America's latest 4th of July birthday bash. HENDERSON'S PANTS Our chief sponsor, Henderson's Pants, is back with a new line of trousers - the Peer Sucker Pants! Don't miss our commercial for this one. THE CLIPS Vos & Bonnie’s "My Wife Hates Me" Moving up into the Stitcher Top 100 Comedy Podcasts this week at #86, this podcast features a pair of married comedians, Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane. They call it the podcast they swore they’d never do and yet…here it is. They talk about themselves, their lives, their child, the comedy business and, no matter what angle they take, they seem to mostly be at odds with each other.  The Paul Mecurio Show We recently featured a snippet of host Paul Mecurio interviewing Jay Leno – great in-depth chat – and now he’s done it again, grabbing a podcast rarity by talking with Sir Paul McCartney! In the clip we got, Paul asks Paul about where The Beatles got the confidence to go from the music that had gotten them to the top and put out something as daring at the time as Sgt. Pepper. After Hours with Mark Pitta The term “comedy podcast” is a pretty big circus tent – it includes comics talking to other comics, comedians talking to themselves, non-comedians talking to comedians, improvisational shows, sketch shows, non-comedians trying to be comedians, and even comedian hosts interviewing non-comedian guests. Marc Maron does it all the time on WTF, we play Paul Mecurio with Paul McCartney in this episode, and now on his podcast called After Hours, friend-of-Succotash Mark Pitta just dropped a fascinating interview with legendary baseball manager Tony LaRussa. The HobcastI just mentioned the wide-ranging category of comedy podcasts and I forgot to mention trolls interviewing sketch comedians. There’s only one I know about and that’s the Hobcast with Hob the Troll aka Stevo Doccerson. The toast of Renaissance Faires across the country, and the star of Hob Sings!, a CD with his legendary music – songs such as “I Hate Goats”, he recently brought his unique speaking voice to the podcast universe. In this clip, he’s chatting with King John, aka Mark Gagliardi from The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast.    TOPICS We’ve been big fans of Michael Ian Black along with Tom Cavanagh with their Mike And Tom Eat Snacks podcast. But there hasn’t been a fresh epi of MATES since may and now there’s a new podcast with Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter – both of whom were in The State and also Stella. Maybe MATES is delayed? ON hiatus? Gone away? I don’t know. Ostensibly, this new format is a way for two funny guys to address more serious issues but, as you might be able to hear in this clip, their tongues seem to be lodged in their cheeks a bit… See You Next TuesdayI discovered Troy Saple’s See You Next Tuesday podcast just by surfing through iTunes’ New & Noteworthy this past week. But it turns out that this isn’t a NEW podcast, it’s a show that’s been on hiatus for the past 18 months, ever since the host had to do some jail time for a DUI. He’s been out on probation, clean and sober, but with frequent and random drug testing and whole bunch of other restrictions. So he hasn’t been feeling podcastery until recently, when the itch has begun to return. The last time he hit the podwaves was in 2011 and I gather he was interviewing comedians and musicians. Maybe he’ll go there again but, for now, it’s just a man and a microphone. Mike Ward Is Full Of Shit Mike Ward is a Montreal-based comedian and I gather he performs in both English and French – or Quebecois. He’s been named one of the top 25 Comedians of All Time by the Just For Laughs festival. His podcast is called Mike Ward Is Full Of Shit EXCEPT on iTunes and Soundcloud, where he’s had to sanitize it to: Mike Ward Is Full Of Crap. In the clip we have, he’s talking about how he went to LA to find a writer to help with a new show and he happened upon the legendary Paul Mooney. The More You Nerd Here’s another show I discovered in iTunes' New & Noteworthy. (Of course, they’ve had over 80 episodes. I’m beginning to think “New & Noteworthy” is like the term “Overnight Success”.) These guys nerd out all over the place about all kinds of things. This clip is from the episode “Obscure Reference #6: America, Aliens and Ghosts”, and here Myles, Patrick, Mike and Drew duke it out – metaphorically speaking – on which are the best and worst ghosts.  That's the basic rundown for Epi62 of Succotash. There are some bells, whistles, and other assorted goodies in the show this time around, including a revisit with Dana Carvey from WAY back in Epi3, and some classic old radio comedy from a show called The Bickersons. So enjoy and, even if you end up stuffed to the gills with podcast, please remember to pass the Succotash with your friends. — Marc Hershon

This week Myles, Patrick, Mike and Drew talk about everything from how American they are, how awesome Ghost Dad is, board games and more!

This week we’re a man down while Myles is out sick. However, Drew, Patrick, and Mike make sure to talk comics, Netflix queues, and what they learned to keep you marginally entertained.

This week the guys talk way more about E3 and video game than anyone probably cares to listen to.

This week on obscure reference, we’re one man down. So, get comfy as Mike, Drew, and Patrick talk about Bat Nipples, Marvel Unlimited, and a bunch of other nonsense..

Drew, Myles, Mike, and Patrick talk a whole lot about Xbox One, a little bit about Ellen Page, and literally nothing about the how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.

The inaugural episode of Obscure Reference is here. It’s a show where we just blabber about stuff we like.

Check out a little preview of our new show Obscure Reference!
