"I can't imagine getting excited about that" as a reply to someone telling you about an exciting experience they had is so damn funny to me

[@waiting4more]

This has kind of quickly become the only podcast I never miss.

[@at00ss16]

Fun fact Patton Oswalt was actually once considered for the role of Ian Hawke in Alvin and the chipmunks before David Cross ended up landing the part.

[@Tasarran]

We must have a different definition of 'fun fact'

[@Tsureiki]

@@Tasarran well, fun is subjective but I agree with you. if Mr. Show was close to being "with Patton and David" originally, but Patton pissed on Cross's couch while drunk, ending their relationship for a time, that's a fun fact.

[@adamwarlock8263]

this is fun

[@heinerbremer5509]

Patton Oswalt is on the very top of my very short list of people that instantly make everything better just by being there. Also: "Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens)" - really? This guys IMDb page is so long i was to lazy to scoll all the way down. If anything he is "Patton Oswalt (The King of Showing Up Unexpected And Stealing The Show)

I'm 99% sure this was a joke between friends.

[@heinerbremer5509]

@@goosegaskins I actually wrote that comment before watching the entire video and, yes, that might just be a joke that went over my head at that time :) Nevertheless, he truly is the MSG of people. I don't know how he does it, but when he's in it, it becomes instantly better.

[@goosegaskins]

@@heinerbremer5509 👍Yeah, they actually have a history of joking about each other's career choices, so that's how I took it. :) Fully agree on Patton-he's the best!

"Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens)"... Cross, you sonuva... 😂

[@coreytherockstarduh]

So excited for this one!

[@patton303]

Two of my favorite dudes in the whole world. Love it.

[@CatJabZ]

Patton is the best! These dudes together are magical.

[@debtjoa]

Omg please please please do a show where comedians cover each others bits 😆

[@markwegner6821]

He should have been a politician. He's a genius at what he does, has strong opinions on good ideas. He's a community guy. What am I saying, he probably hates politicians, but he may be the best one we could have. 💎

[@jonesnbones]

Patton reminds me of a hardworking mayor or city manager. I bet he would get stuff done.

[@bwredder]

I saw Patton and David at All Tomorrow’s Parties. They curated back to back years

I knew Patton had to do a bit about the chairs.

This was a great one!! Put it on the all time fave. list.

[@TylerMayoras-v1l]

OMG this is a hilarious episode. I would love to have Patton co-host with you. Together you two are comedy gold!

[@cascioppo]

I went to that show he was talking about at bumbershoot for the tinkle show it was amazing

[@Laurendica]

Best one yet!!!!

Clover was the name of the backing band on the first EC album.

Beat me to it.

[@patricktilton5377]

They shoulda toured together with King Crimson . . . over and over . . .

[@Tsureiki]

I love Patton. Thought it was strange when I saw he was the host of that new game show, the 1% Club but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Good answer, Patton. ❤

[@LittleRedMenace]

Amazing shout out to both podcasts, "You're Favorite Band Sucks" and "Cocaine & Rhinestones" (around the 54 min mark)!! The guy Patton mentions as a great historian of country music is Tyler Mahan Coe. The podcast is excellent!

I remember seeing Patton at Rock against Bush at Slims in SF, probably 2001 or so. Fuck yeah

[@QUEEFSWEAT]

Total Eclipse of the Arm!

[@kevinw712]

I discovered Led Zeppelin during the 90's while I was in high school, they've become probably my favorite "classic rock" band of all time, and I swear to god Stairway To Heaven NEVER appealed to me. I like about the last minute of it when it really kicks into high gear, but most of it just does nothing for me. (ftr, When The Levee Breaks is my favorite song of theirs)

[@sodapopjenkins]

@10:48 A mash! some sort of Baaash!

[@Denny_7782]

Social Distortion reference!!! Yuss!

[@Alex-jt6gz]

Cross didn't lie when he said "it might not [drop]" and Patton says dates that are over a month before this dropped lmao

[@n1ntar1man]

DUDE! I was at ATP NY 2009 and have always been SO CURIOUS if it was a memorable experience for you! It's always been in my mind as this kind of high water mark - It all happening in that beautiful Kubrickian relic that was Kutsher's in The Catskills ... the lineup was INSANE, it was SO chill yet SO wasted, artists and fans commingling like we were all cosplaying as students at this dreamlike fantasy derelict high school. FUCK, dude. They DO NOT make 'em like they used to! That shit was FUCKING AWESOME. Thank you for closing the loop! 😂🙏

[@dpclerks09]

Sounds genuinely awesome.

[@bwredder]

ATP was amazing. I was at all three years of Kutsher’s. Outstanding

feel bad for David that Will Arnett didn't even text him back about it

[@dpclerks09]

Must've been too busy and important doing his shotty podcast with Bateman and whatshisname.

[@bigkickleo]

PRETTY sure that was a joke - as they are all still Arrested Dev alum and see each other fairly often... 🤷‍♂️

[@spaceb7975]

@@bigkickleo just because they are old friends doesn't mean this wasn't true. David seems pretty sincere with saying he never got a text back... Will was legit suppose to be on the show.

[@bigkickleo]

@@spaceb7975 Yeah, definitely doesn't seem like a bit - sad. Hope their camps can straighten this out

[@GameOverMovieReviews]

Oh shit! I was at that ATP when David Cross bombed. I think I've put it out of my head cos it was so painful. Such a tough gig for a comedian to open for a rock band though - not sure that was ever gonna go down well.

[@latashahowell8090]

Fight the good fight 👊

how will you top the swalt?! thanks cross & friends!

[@rachelprice4463]

I thought it was a talking heads reference for the title. Dude always kewl to hear the writers story.

It would have been XTC, not Talking Heads. Both are great bands, though!

[@kryczech]

[@calibby85]

Love these 2 together, they genuinely live each other and are hilarious 😂😂 hope Will is ok@! Patton, you're skipping Austin?! Cmon

[@dpclerks09]

Dude, Austin objectively sucks now. Used to live there, was forced to move/priced out. It's "weird" in a bad way, now... Almost zero traces of the "original culture" left.

[@GameOverMovieReviews]

Man, I miss the UK ATP festivals. Great, great days

[@Worldswerth]

12:30 Will Arnett? More like “Will, darn it.” 😂 (You can use that in your act.)

[@lmenahan]

The Emma call out... I LIVE! Also, Will Arnett is fine... but Patton is an incredible guest.

[@kurt8514]

Holy Shit! I saw Damn Yankees in Chicago with Jerry Lewis, must have been the same tour, and he did the same thing. It had to have lasted a good 10 minutes or more. It was ridiculous.

[@MarioJaker]

The hook of the show is which chair the person sits in!

[@lesabri]

I saw Patton and laughed for two, almost 3 hours straight. I felt like a lunatic!

[@RubyG6360]

Pinnacle

[@simonp37]

"Lewis repeatedly insisted that The Day the Clown Cried would never be released, but later donated an incomplete copy of the film to the Library of Congress in 2015 under the stipulation that it was not to be made available before June 2024." Can someone dig that up from the archives and put on the internet, please? :D

Oh, you men.

[@Tsureiki]

If that wasn't a joke, (if it was, he didn't make it super evident) Good on David for calling out Will for that BS.

[@redefinitive]

1:00:40 The thing about "Brewster's Millions" is that there's a catch. He has to spend the money in 30 days, but he's not allowed to own any assets, destroy the money, gift it, give it to charity, or tell anyone about the deal. It's not the greatest or smartest movie ever, but it's not as dumb they're making it out to be.

Dear Patton Oswalt, a year ago or so, I so very randomly had a dream that you were the father of my children. I have no idea why. Anyway, you have 2 (twin) biracial daughters awaiting your return.

[@joestevens2110]

Didn’t you steal the chipmunks

[@shemjeffs2953]

Can't believe they're talking about the Day the clown cried reading after hearing it on "It Was a Sh*tshow Podcast". Also, there was an earlier episode (I think Janeane Garofalo), in which she refers to a show in which David did a bad flip and landed on his back (in that episode he has no memory of this). Patton says here he remembers David doing this in one of the 'The Day The Clown Cried' shows

[@RJHetherman3]

Do a short of ur bit with u on the phone saying the same thing over and over and over and ur daughter laughing hysterically and making u do it to other ppl that was funny idk if it's from the podcast or special

[@jeremyross9698]

I do the 'heart/ arm' word substitution thing with 'ticket' and 'chicken.' So you end up with hits like "Chicken to Ride" and "Two Chickens to Paradise." Also, it's really crass, but "eyes" is close to "ice" which sounds like "ass" if the accent is weird enough. So then any song about looking into someone's eyes takes on a rather unsavory bent. Edit: Is the lead singer/ guitarist of Mudhoney now Mark Heart? That 'heart' that's out of a job has to work somewhere.

[@disconsolatemoose6637]

"Senses Working Overtime" is the name of a song from the band XTC. WTF do you have to do with that, and why are you showing up in my feed?

[@dpclerks09]

The podcast is named after the song, and is symbolic of the times we're living in?... "Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime" Just use your noggin for half a second...

[@zackwebb8697]

Making plans for Nigel, right? That was a good band

[@GoodGolly.MissLolly]

Did we ever find out why Will cancelled?

[@AshCid84]

Hopefully, he will do the regular show. He is doing things according to online last week. Things that are not announced or in the works. He is doing more than just being an actor or comedian. For some, doing a podcast or show that involves gossip has risks. It is better for all sides to not damage money. Friendships can survive but depends on friend. It should not be serious health wise. Though, IDK. Another podcast I watch has comedians talk/bitch about other projects. But they still do their own shows and friend podcast.

[@ash8298]

He cancelled because these podcasts are fucking boring and probably felt guilty about charging people money to listen to old stories that are mildly amusing at best.

[@BRLambert4]

​@@ash8298So you mean the same exact thing he does on his own podcasts live shows, Smartless ? Was his podcast included with "these podcasts" or are there other shows that are so fucking boring that you have no choice but to read the comments section and even reply to someone's question? Just curious
