Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/11/28 05:56 This was almost as hard to listen to as the airport phone interview with Gilbert Gottfried. These are the only two shows I just couldn't bring myself to finish listening to.

Still, Penn rocks and I really enjoyed Fred Willard's bit on the Aristocrats.

Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/11/28 09:20 The Rene French interview from way back I found profoundly dull. When she started biatching about the phone guys I kinda really stopped liking listening to her. I know she's a good friend of Penn but what she talked about and what she does offers me nothing.

I'd rate that the worst show AFTER the one with Bananafish the Iranian woman who was supposed to explain the whole middle east thing to us but just got into a 15 minute long shouting match.

Agreed. I think anything with Fred Willard in it is great, this interview included.

Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/11/29 00:19 I loved the show, it's the first time I've really heard Fred in his own voice telling his own stories.

It's one of the things I like about this show, theres something for everyone. there have been interviews I could care less about myself on other shows, but I always liked the fact that Penn gives a stage to people who rarely get such a forum to speak their views.

Fred Willard isn't for everyone, neither is Penn, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/11/29 02:02 Just heard it today and enjoyed every minute of it. I recognized some of the people they were talking about, but not all. However, it's interesting to me to learn about new things. Even if they're OLD-new things.

I was a huge fan of Firesign Theater back in the day, but I had never heard of some of the other comedy teams they talked about. Going to have to try and hunt down some of that stuff.

Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/11/29 03:02 I LOVE Fred Willard, but I found the interview quite dull.

I saw Fred Willard at a Renaissance Faire. He was just walking around in a mild trance-like state. Later, I saw him again with a small film crew. He was hosting a show on the Travel channel. I am in the background, pushing a ride in my stupid outfit.

I've been waiting for this show to come up on iTunes. From the thread I got the impression it was about Fred Willard and some unknown guest no reasonably well read type has ever heard of (like Rene French or something). No it turns out the unknown guy was Fred Willard Dude! You really are a teen. I mean no offense. I just suddenly feel suddenly very very very very old.

It's like the time in class I was trying to explain what a record player was to my students. They only grapsed it when one of the students reminded the others there was one to be seen in the Seoul Museum of History.

Scary enough, lots of my younger students aren't even aware music comes on CDs. They only understand MP3.

Re:Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.11.27 - 2006/12/10 22:08 Or I don't read women's magazines and know about every 2 bit celebrity.

Though it looks like this Willard guy is going to be on Stargate soon which I love...
