Kyle Kinane, Mdou Moctar (Episode 296)
Added 2024-05-09 15:00:07 +0000 UTCOil up your beard and break out the triple IPA because standup guy/comedian Kyle Kinane joined us from Portland to share some fun and laughs, along with a tribute to the late, great Steve Albini (12:02), a zoom from our old friend/new movie star Uncle Phil ("The People's Joker") (38:40) and Tim's recap of the original "Planet of the Apes" (46:17). And then hold onto your hair because it could easily be blown off from our exclusive studio session with African guitar master Mdou Moctar and his red hot band performing “Sousome Tamachek" (1:02:07) and "Imagerhan" (2:07:47) live in our studio. PLUS, a master debate between Tim and Vic on Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted" movie (1:18:03), Vic's Chicago band game (1:41:13), and a surprise zoom-in from Doug and Eric Andre (1:35:31). Starts @ 1:42.

Im back to say i realize i came in pretty hot a month ago, and i didn't mean to bombast you with my own feelings of urgency regarding the matter. I understand that people are protective of their anti-heroes and the willingness to let transgressions slide. Heck, even the Night Stalker had ladies lining up to marry him in jail. Anyway, peace & love.

2024-05-13 03:21:26 +0000 UTCI agree with Tim mostly, the premise and the fantasy elements had me grinning ear to ear. I just couldn’t get past the 40% stinker jokes that were clearly shoehorned in by Seinfeld himself.
Sean Enright
2024-05-12 17:09:37 +0000 UTCAre you telling me the article he wrote about his personal posession of Pure magazine + his friendship with Peter Sotos was just clumsily executed performance art? Sounds more like a brazen confession than an extended edgelord joke. Why leave such a margin for ambiguity when the stakes are that high? It reads more like a guy who got too comfortable in his punk bubble & outed himself.
Tim Erbes
2024-05-12 04:07:13 +0000 UTCI read this and here’s Phil’s two cents. I don’t think Steve was “into it”. I think this is his version of “shock” comedy? It reminds me of when James Gunn made several Twitter posts that were along the lines of “I like…” and it be something about sexual encounters with minors - where the mere words preceding the awful ending were there to let you know “this is a joke”. Maybe a tasteless joke but still a joke. No one puts this in print if they really mean it. Steve tells you with the last paragraph and the sentence before the last paragraph by saying to the effect of “anyone who likes this kind of stuff, like me, has a problem”…this isn’t literal, in my interpretation, but a self deprecating joke that also says “it’s obvious this is awful and I don’t believe this”…even if not so obvious. That’s how it reads to me. Plus, and again, he’s publishing this in a magazine. That should be the biggest tip this is said with shocking tongue in cheek.

2024-05-12 01:49:57 +0000 UTCAlso just watched Sorcerer for the first time and loved it. If you haven't already, watch The Plot Against Harry by Michael Roemer. A sort of lost classic beautifully restored.

2024-05-11 12:13:14 +0000 UTC"Acting" ... Yes. Okay. You're goading this woke snowflake (wow! here we are!) to continue, but I shall not. Question, though. Who was 860? Truly the MVP of the episode. In my years of patronizing this show, probably my favorite caller ever. If you choose not to reveal yourself masked man, that's OK. Please call in again. You fucking rule, Mr. Odenk- ... oh shit! ... Anonymous Caller!

2024-05-11 04:29:17 +0000 UTCI hadn’t heard about any of that stuff but did a Quick Look at the controversy and without looking too deeply into it, it seems to me a case of intentionally offense writing which was definitely a “thing” in the pre 4Chan days. Sick humor that would populate amongst friends and seep into underground punk publications. I’m pretty sure he acknowledged it and regretted it… Captain Carlin may know more about it.
Tim Heidecker
2024-05-11 03:04:00 +0000 UTCThe Albini love here seems strange to me. He was kind of a sick fuck, no? Like who openly endorses a child porn magazine!?

Daniel Date
2024-05-10 22:28:05 +0000 UTCI was impressed by Vic and Doug’s acting honestly, they made it feel like nerve wracking but luckily I waited 30seconds before mailing by letter to the police.
Steven Meltzer
2024-05-10 21:59:58 +0000 UTCyes Tim should have a movie podcast too!

2024-05-10 18:33:33 +0000 UTCAlso, Kyle is a top tier guest for sure!
Johnnee
2024-05-10 18:28:28 +0000 UTCwe need a Tim and Guapdad 4000 collab plz. Also Tierra Whack is from Philly please get her on the show Whack World is a classic!
Johnnee
2024-05-10 18:27:58 +0000 UTCAwareness of these things keeps some people up at night, other people clearly not so much. I personally would prefer to not be reminded of it in a place I come to laugh and have fun, but that's just me. Just me. Anyway. The show got the message and I'm extremely ready to stop beating on this and get back to ✌️&❤️

2024-05-10 18:20:15 +0000 UTCI'm aware of what's happening in Gaza but think it's sort of a stretch to connect that to a stupid off hand joke made during a fake prank call.

Thomas Dunleavy
2024-05-10 10:37:44 +0000 UTCVic’s take on Unfrosted makes me wonder if he has ever seen a movie before or if he understands what a movie is. I am with Tim on this. I intended to hate watch it but actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

2024-05-10 10:34:25 +0000 UTCWhat about the chips! I haven't tried the ones that taste like a drink, I have tried conditioner that smells like thin-mint cookies though!
Athena
2024-05-10 06:26:41 +0000 UTCI did another version of Tim's RFK joke, it's something like, "and they're saying this worm in RFK's head was trying to feed on his brain...so needless to say the worm died of MALNUTRITION!" Never mind I like Tim's better, I don't even know why I did this. I'm so stupid.

2024-05-10 00:56:58 +0000 UTCIf this show was about numbers, (which it's not!) I'd have to say my favorite Chicago song is 25 or 6 to 4!! 😃😄😃

2024-05-09 23:49:39 +0000 UTCGreat to see Rosie and hello Kyle!! Loved the musical break too! Wow Tims hair looked so good I couldn't stop thinking about it at work today, welcome back!
Athena
2024-05-09 23:36:41 +0000 UTCSides are extremely split on who won this debate. Only time will tell, and only one thing is for certain: We need more debates. Vic both takes notes and sips fluids. Do not underestimate him.
rainbowdark
2024-05-09 23:22:43 +0000 UTCNah, Tim is right, the movie was fine. Vic just doesn’t like having fun, nor does he like to laugh
Drew Schooley
2024-05-09 23:09:55 +0000 UTCJust to make the Chicago game even more confusing, there actually is no Chicago 4, they went from 3 to 5. Chicago live at Carnegie Hall is #4 so when Kyle was guessing 4 for all of them he should have maybe gotten a point for Carnegie Hall. They also seemed to include Greatest Hits albums in their number system, which is nonsense imo, so there isn’t really a Chicago 9, 15, or 20…
