Cum Town Podcast

[iamcoop]

Okay I hear his laugh now, and i'm incredibly confused by why it ever bothered anyone. It's barely registers with me.

It does get trying at times on some later episodes. Like some people have remarked though, Stav plays the hype man role well. Especially given Adam doesn't laugh that much and Nick laughs about once every ten episodes.

I've not been a massive fan of the quarantine run so far, Nick especially seems a lot more reserved now he's on camera. It's also boring when he has these slightly manic episodes and just goes on about global warming for half an hour. That shit's boring man who cares.

Where can I jump on with this? I tried starting from the beginning but it seemed a bit overwhelming to go through hundreds of episodes from years ago, especially as it's all so topical. Tried jumping in at a random point and it was a mess of references. Would the start of Covid isolation make sense? I like the sound of the woke Mafia characters.

I started on the episode 'Tai Bo' which is one of my favourites. I knew nothing about them or the podcast previously and managed to get into it fairly quickly. The only issue I had was finding it hard to differentiate between who was speaking which seems bizarre now as they don't sound similar at all. Also, are you listening to the free episodes or the premium ones as well? The premium ones are all easily available online and I'd say most of the better ones are premium episodes because they seem to cut loose a little bit more on those ones.

Sometimes I give my niece or nephews my phone with that up and let them go crazy, they love it

The Autism Powers episode that was recommended a couple of pages back is my go-to suggestion, Nick's list of actresses who should have been in the Ghost in the Shell film was the first of many Cum Town bits that put me away in tears

Anyone got a link to the co...vids of the newer episodes?  There are so many audio-only fan uploads of every episode to sift through that I can't find them.

You can hear it in this compilation of Nick's laugh. I'm genuinely surprised that nobody has made one of Stav!

One of those 10hr YouTube videos but it's just Stav laughing.
Part 1 of 3.

Seeing as Zoom has fucked with the Boys' mojo, I decided to finally check out that podcast review of Cum Town from ages back, and if anything they downplayed how bad it is.  They start off with a jingle that seems to go on forever (shortly before slamming Cum Town for not doing some piss-poor Doo Wop over a Windows CD-ROM software beat), and then proceed to barely hide their resentment over how their hard work and rule-following goes unacknowledged. Plus there's their total inability to detect irony or understand absurdism.  Th-th-th-they keep breaking all the podcasting rules! Fun listen.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BbyqcAPcD34&t=10s

'I'm trying to go to the bathroom in my ass'

Seeing as Zoom has fucked with the Boys' mojo

Yeah, I've found it a struggle to get through the last few, although the bit in one episode where after a long pause Nick just lets out a frustrated "ARRRRGHHHHH!" noise was very relatable.

[DiClassomo]

We're all, in our own way, off meds and clad in chainmail

[peanutbutter]

I'm a good few episodes behind (late March) but I can imagine the slight lag really fucking with Nick, he routinely loses focus when at all interrupted  in person, usually by Adam

[amputeeporn]

Everyone seemed to be quite happy in the latest premium stream. Lots of laughs, with my personal highlight being the car from Knight Rider telling Michael that it liked the feeling of his balls on the leather seats.

[iamcoop]

Jamaican' me cum.

[iamcoop]

Latest premium is an El Classico and it's funny as fuck. Stav's got his own soundboard now. The Jigsaw voice manipulator is a real gem. Seems like they might be hitting their stride after a couple of rubbish ones and we might be in for some treats boys. Dudes stay rockin'.

[Old Nehamkin]

Yeah, funny episode. The sound board business hit that sweet spot of gleeful stupidity that the show thrives on.

Also it was a relief to have an episode where Nick didn't veer into a tedious, self-righteous coronavirus rant where he just parrots a bunch of shitheaded Republican talking points that he's internalised beneath a shallow left-libertarian affect.

[C_Larence]

Still plugging away through old episodes. Up to around mid 2017 now. Last bit that got me was Nick's Indian man that can't say the word "views" selling an apartment.

[marquis_de_sad]

I just listen to random episodes or clips that the youtube algorithm spits out. The Glenn Close bit killed me.

[His Name Is Death]

Poor Adam.[nb]His mum's died.[/nb] Thought something was up when he said "Look, you know why I'm out here" to Nick and Stav and they didn't press the issue.

Yeah it's horrible. I think it's been common knowledge for a while his mother was very seriously ill. Somebody mentioned on the Reddit sub they'd messaged Nick asking how long Adam was gonna be absent from the pod for and he replied saying "I'm not sure, can everybody just give him some space."
You do feel like you know the boys, such is the immediacy and intimacy of the show. The replies on Adam's tweet about it have all been lovely so it's nice to see such an outpouring of affection for him.

[Schnapple]

Sad about Adam's mum, hope he takes his time.

Haven't listened to this in a month or so, as when I'm feeling productive it's just too misanthropic and low-energy. But the recent Stav soundboard stuff was so funny/absolutely fucking stupid, laughing again now just thinking about the Jigsaw voice effect and the 'super computer'. Also, Nick's impression of Barrack Obama as Robert De Niro.

"You gotta meet... The Parents."

Some of the low energy/Nick depressed episodes can be a real slog but when it's on form nothing makes me laugh harder. I was listening to episode 111 the other night ("The Forbidden Zone") and fuck me, that's just a straight hour of insanity. Might be my favourite ever episode. I've said it countless times but I don't think anyone else could get away with the stuff they peddle without coming across as genuinely crass and offensive but there's something so....charming and loveable about the boys. Nick says something on that episode about mixed marriages that is so utterly offensive but I was in agony laughing at the casual way he delivers it. If someone said that sort of thing in the pub you'd think they were an absolute cunt but Christ he just makes me laugh.

[spaghetamine]

nick breaks kayfabe and it's very wholesome

[Pdine]

Uncanny Groucho / Harpo look to that photo. In fact I've sometimes ended up thinking of them unconsciously as the Three Stooges, which is which being obvious.

[amputeeporn]

Yeah this latest soundboard ep cut me down quick after some weeks abstinence. I guess hearing that Adam's mother had died drew me back to the fore. There's something so strange about them all. I don't necessarily always like them separately but as a unit (sometimes sans Adam) it IS wholesome. it IS good. I can't explain or justify that - I can imagine elements of it devastating certain people and ruining lives, but it makes me laugh like hell and feel like maybe I'm sane. Can't express what this absolutely ridiculously stupid and clearly rubbish show means to me.

[peanutbutter]

Working my way through the April episodes atm, Nick's a real fucking chore with the coronavirus rants, isn't he?


Is Stav is deliberately not getting his tooth replaced as a comedy bit at this stage or is it just a really visible manifestation of how much he neglects his health overall? like, he could absolutely afford that dental work at this stage assuming they're doing the 50:25:25 split they were doing at the start.

[Schnapple]

Impressed with how quickly Nick managed to get this out into the world: https://cum.town/products/ctwninra00-ts

i've been listening to this and finding chunks of it very funny. there are maybe just enough moments in it that lead me to think (without certainty), that i can trust that the hosts aren't as bad people as their worst comment taken out of context would lead you to believe. I am not sure how they've stayed on patreon, given their t&c? feels like there's a harsh wake up coming there at some point.

Some of the fanbase seem awful (not here afaik, maybe that's just how reddit is). Reminded of Stewart Lee talking about the pub landlord's audience "laughing through gritted teeth at jokes they don't understand like the dogs that they are". This week's various bans on there made me curious about other stuff that's mentioned in the same breath though - are the other podcasts that get rightly or wrongly lumped with this (Chapo, Red Scare, TrueAnon) any good?

I listened to an old Chapo, they were talking about UBI, much as its an interesting idea I was kind of bored. I listened to a recent one with Stav on it talking about less weighty topics and enjoyed it a lot (given the space, and the freedom not to play the exact role he does in CT all the time, I think he's very good - his twitch show's another example) so I am not sure whether it's good w/o someone I like on it. I gave a TrashFuture a go too but it was a bit serious too (picking the one immediately after the last election might have been a poor choice).

I haven't listened to the others yet, would appreciate any advice that saves me listening to something that will educate me more than amuse me or that is sub-MDE shite that'll do neither.
