Maybe it's just me, but I think LBFM is always in top form, it's my first go-to podcast I listen to, and I listen to ~30 different podcast shows a week, many of which are daily shows, but LBFM is always guaranteed to be funny.

The only thing I'm occasionally disappointed with in LBFM is in the short eps, like the pre-show vibe ep, because I want more funny!

Tod, nobody thinks you are the dirty one.
You provide the best reactions (for example, "sidekick Tod Perry")
Plus we got the fun of watching the revelation of ATM (was anyone shocked John knew?) unfurl before our eyes on Stickam.

Thanks for remembering the picture of Romeo The Turtle.

THE CURSE OF NATALIE

Tod, I think you took the "better than ever" or was it "back on track" wrong. First, remember we were told the show was going to be gone for a month, and then told when you came back after only 1 week that Marc had actually put a bullet into the show.

Something else to consider, the show has changed - a lot. Somehow it does keep getting better. I don't think you should take it as "the show is sucking much less this week".

Now Marc. I know that the recent Stickam show was a 'soft relaunch', but with your new set up you need a little tweaking with the camera placement. I think that either you need to move the camera to the right and shoot John between the mic arms (maybe even widen the space between them a little), or move John further to camera left (his right), towards you and maybe raise up the mic stand base a little. If you did this (maybe getting him on a lower chair - or even easier, raise the mic stands up a little by putting a 2 x 4 on top of the table, under the stand) then the set up could handle two people on that side of the table.

I also wonder if you could get some simple fluorescent floor work lights, something like these http://bit.ly/6rI7EC could be easily attached to the ceiling with some metal strapping, or the stand up version http://bit.ly/8XHQ7l might do (but I have a feeling that space is at a premium that direction). While the colour of fluorescent is not optimal the lack of heat would be a good thing come summer. Much cheaper than LED lightpanels and no backing Tod with that spot light.

Now laxdude.

To quote an engineer who taught me most of what I know about the inner workings of a radio station, "I know the microphone arms make it look bad on camera. Unfortunately this is a radio studio, not a television studio."

So where is William to give a big thanks to the guys for John's new late night show?! I mean, that's pretty damn huge to get a show set-up just from a whiny email!

Love the live show and look forward to MANY, MANY more!

anyone else think Sheldon (Jim Parsons) from CBS's 'The Big Bang Theory' looks like Tod Perry? He reminds me of what might have happened to our beloved Tod had he continued down the dark path of Star Wars geekdom.

This was a great ep, the best ones you guys do are when you really have no topic and just talk shit. Heinrich Salwin is a great addition to the cast. Please stop mentioning my arch enemies over at HOTTALKLA, it makes my blood pressure skyrocket and i get all dizzy with hatred.

Polly,

Oh Lord, you wouldn't believe how many times I get the "You Look Like the Big Bang Theory Guy" in my everyday life. But it beats, "You look like the dude in his underwear at the beginning of "The Sixth Sense." I once got that from some chick in one of my classes in college. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Tod you do not in anyway resemble Donnie Wahlberg, not even from the NKOTB days, that lady was a C.

Marc, where did I say to get rid of the mic stands? I just gave you two options - one free, the other that would require at most a scrap of 2x4.

Would either of those lights work? If they do I could order them online for delivery to you. The installation would be pretty damn simple, and they would be bolt on so to speak so easy to move and shouldn't draw that much.

Now Tod, i believe your 'college days' were the height of you degenerate drug abuse and binge drinking (the Coolest Tod Ever stories always seem to come from this time period). So there may be a good chance the Tod Perry that young woman saw in 7:30am Intro to Anthropology class may VERY WELL HAVE BEEN 'heroin underweight', wearing only his underwear and shaking. Let's just say it can't be ruled out.

Now everyone, i would like to hereby propose a move to have william act as the representative of the audience in all matters regarding future changes to the show. I'm actually not trying to be funny, his email resonated with things i've noticed with the show.
I would also add that, i guess we can't fight them on their sponsorship needs but seriously "beering"? that just sounds retarded you might as well drop the expression, nothing can live up to hiteing.
I don't know about being more open as to what is "behind the scenes" of the show, press releases will do. or long cathartic episodes to get all the crap out like this one

William does not represent me. I disagreed with everything in his email, especially his enthusiasm with Salwin's increased participation. Nothing against John...I think he'd be a great guy to hang out with. But Marc and Tod are perfect together. And John's presence seems to make Marc especially agitated.

Totally disagree. John Salwin is the man! He has made the show exponentially better. BTW you guys gotta get DeMarco to come by the show.

I just like the show, with John or Cioffi or the remote Skype shows.

I'm always happy with the show, as Joss Whedon and probably several people before him have said "give the audience what they need not what they want", if the listeners were able to come up with a funnier show we would be listening to that already, the gang have not struck a false not yet why should they now bend to the will of one meaningless asshole.
So guys should feel free to fuck with the format or bring in surprise jerk offs or whatever you want to do, it's your show and you always make it funny, besides we all know the show actually jumped the shark back with the "boneless chicken" ep.

Gio expressed my views better than I did. Don't think that it is a bad thing that the show isn't what it used to be. You are now Empire to what used to be famous original Star Wars. You have not Ewoked yet and in no way have Special Editioned.

Just know that if you ever Episode 1 us, well, you can probably guess what will happen.

What would happen laxdude?
