Bear Down Podcast

Fireman Pete continues to be fantastic.

Dick Walsh: "Well I was there, and I left."

I'd like to hear the two of them have a chat.

[J.B.]

I think that's the first time they revealed who is playing Fireman Pete. Though a simple search reveals he's Jim U-Boat, too... did they mention this before I just wasn't paying attention?

[isoS]

Haha, I thought it was self-evident -- Jim basically does the same voice for both.

[J.B.]

Brad Morris is a brilliant performer I've seen dozens of times in Chicago, but his Ozzie sounds 60% Chinese.

[J.B.]

New episode up! And it's live. And I didn't know about it! I totally would have driven out there. C'mon producer.

[isoS]

Sorry man. I didn't know about it until afterwards either. (although I think I saw some typically unintelligible tweet from Walsh about it that week.)

[Batman The Horse]

Yaaay! Football is back!

Refresh your feeds, sports fans!

[Mayonegg]

Yay!

Hey can anyone tell me the name of the episode where Matt Walsh is in space or a hot air balloon or something and keeps calling a General a coward? I'd like to re-listen to it, but can't recognize it from iTunes descriptions.

That's Week Seven: Space Jelly, and to answer your follow-up question, yes that is the best Walsh Skype ever.

[Mayonegg]

Thanks!

Is this Belknap's character debut? How long before Lieberman shows up?

[isoS]

I think I played God or Jesus on an episode once, around the time of the Tiger Woods scandal. (Used my own voice, and it was just as terrible.)

[J.B.]

I'll make this as Chicago-area specific as possible, in honor of the show itself...

I'm working a temporary library gig in Chicago Heights, and I ended up in a 45min marathon session with a patron helping him look up the definition of words in his bible. It was so slow and difficult to deal with this patron that my brain was a mess when I got out of there on my lunch break. On my way to the Chipotle in Matteson, I listened to Week 11. Now, I don't know if it was because my brain was scattered and needed relief or if it really was that funny and ridiculous, but the interview with "Sauce" made me laugh harder than almost anything else on a podcast this year.

Matt, the replacement ref, & "Sauce" probably tie with Fourvil & Dame ALW on Comedy Bang Bang as favorite things in podcasting this year.

Thanks guys!

How about this week? The weirdest crossover event in podcast history is maybe also the best: Ronna & Beverly on Bear Down!
