My Day of Media: April 30, 2013

It's almost May! That's craziness. An announcement for the new segment should be eminent, but until then, what was I consuming today?

PS Should this segment be called I've Got the Consumption?

1) Stop Podcasting Yourself: Episode 267- Josh Stubbs

SPY might be might current favorite podcast. Part of the Maximum Fun family, hosts Graham Clark and Dave Shumka talk about everything and nothing at the same time. It's, honestly, pretty hard to describe the show. It's just people talking. But, it's definitely worth whatever time you have for fun things in your life. Plus, if you're lucky, you get to hear about Flex magazine, Hulk Hogan, Fanta, or a myriad of other things. Here's the episode if you'd like to listen!

2) Game Grumps

I'm planning on talking about this tonight on my very own podcast, No Currency, but blog readers will get a heads up. Game Grumps is a web series featuring Jon and Arin playing video games. That's it. Could be pretty boring if these two weren't hysterical. Currently in circulation are the classic Mega Man X and the notably horrible Sonic '06. You can find them here! Here's the latest episode featuring a game called "Pocky & Rocky". As you can see if you watch, it's rarely about the games at this point and more about, shockingly, two guys talking.



Since we're on the subject, check out the podcast No Currency. Alex Jonathan Brown and I talk about the things that we love that you can't stand and why you should change your mind. We also just did an entire episode about wrestling. So...yeah.

3) Jordan, Jesse GO!: Episode 273: Wad Lord with Phil Elvrum

This is, other than Bullseye with Jesse Thorn, the flagship podcast of the Maximum Fun network. This week's episode was with indie rocker Phil Elvrum who, not surprisingly, was hilarious against the amazing Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorn, the empresario behind all that is Maximum Fun.

Here's a handy embeddable link to the episode so you can consume it RIGHT NOW!

All of this was consumed while our lawn decided to try to kill me all while exposing all of my fears and insecurities about life. Needless to say, as I type this, a lawn care crew is going through, getting our grass down to a manageable length. At that point, I will be able to resume my feeble attempt at the manly duty of mowing the lawn.

4) Sklarbro Country: Paul Dooley

This was my at night listening, which is usually taken up by a rerun of JJGO! or SPY. The Sklars were awesome, but Paul Dooley really likes to hear himself tell stories about himself and brag on what he has done. I'm not saying he hasn't done a lot and that this isn't a fantastic episode of the Sports-Comedy podcast, but if you wanted to skip it, you probably could.
