What's Our Podcast? with Beck and Kyle

“I suppose I was fond of their pre-SNL output, and generally a fan of their off kilter next gen-ish Lonely Island pretape stuff for SNL but I'll be damned if their new podcast doesn't have me by the throat in a way none of their prior material (or frankly any other podcast?) ever has. The parasocial element is compounded by them both living in my neighborhood but it would have developed regardless. This is a weekly show (I'm not on the Patreon wave, at least yet) of two bright, funny guys, who are actually friends, shooting the shit. Yes, they interview a guest each week as well. The interviews, while sometimes including thoughtful questions, are largely just adding an additional funny person to the shit shooting. Neither are particularly 'physical' comics but I would recommend the video podcast regardless, there's so much that doesn't translate via subtle body language and facial expressions. Part of what makes it great is that there are meta layers, difficult to pick up on from first watch — especially difficult if you're unfamiliar with their respective styles. The biggest and most overarching among them is Beck giving Kyle a hard time. They both play into it beautifully and I would completely understand if the uninitiated viewer/listener became uncomfortable due to the dynamic. If it sounds like your cup of tea, give it a shot. New episodes on Wednesday mornings.”
