Podtoid 129: Brad starts hosting halfway through photo

I really have to apologize -- this is one of the most insane, fast-paced, entertaining episodes I can remember, but the audio is awful. Adam Dork picked a hell of a week to go to Japan.

But anyway: the first half of the episode is pretty standard. After the commercial break, Nicholson starts hosting and everything changes forever.

That is, effectively, all you need to know.

After listening to the show "fast-paced" is definately an understatement

This episode was amazing. Enough said. Brad managed to keep Sports in check and kept the show moving.

I was listening to the podcast while I was on the bus. People probably think I'm crazy, because I grinned broadly the whole time.
Awesome, awesome episode!!

Brad is the best goddamn host ever! I don't think Anthony would mind if he took over from now on.

FAVORITE EPISODE. EVAR.

That food conversation at the end was super classic.

Also,

"What's a me-may?" lol. win.

I've got to admit, this is one of my favorite episodes, ever. Me-may, skipping Sports, etc. Anything Brad goes into Chetmode and wrangles shit is automatic comedy gold.

Also, the Punisher game Anthony briefly mentions is likely the one I wrote about in one of my (two) Make This Game Now! cblogs. You can read it here if it interests you so.

Thank you Brad Nicholson.

Brad, were you free-lifting a couch during the first part of this podcast?

Great episode!
And Jim! you should play FEAR on PC. I think the majority of people didnt like it was because of the console port's terrible quality. What FEAR did that FEAR2 didn't was incredible AI, pretty good scripted scary monents and some awesome weapons.

Funniest podcast ever. I'm at work, laughing out loud way to much. It's wonderful, people think I'm crazy.

Thanks Brad.

This episode was amazing. Brad is the loose cannon of podtoid, sometimes he's barely conscious on a protein crash, and sometimes out of the blue he's in your face like Vin Diesel.

Brad Nicholson is a mix of Chris Matthews and the older brother from The Wonder Years. I could totally see him running a "Around the Horn" style show.

Love it. Fucking loved it. I don't know if it should happen again next week, but I would definitely love to hear another Brad Nicholson hosted podtoid in the future.

YES. That was a refreshing, and frenetic, change for Podtoid. Brad is a winner! Also, start with Topher on the games of the week more often - it got the conversation moving differently and set the scene for a different flow in the show then usual...

BEST PODTOID EVER.
Also, the other L4D2 character that sings is Ellis.

So, I'm listening to the podcast, thinking how great and funny these guys are (beside Sports... nobody likes him), and then I hear half the cast say they prefer the ps3 controller to 360. I now only have respect for Brad and Jim, which is really pretty scary when you think about it.

Absolutely, the best show of podtoid I've heard once Brad took over. The pacing was faster, less dead air and "uhhmms", and kept Sports to just the right amount of talk needed. First podtoid I had to re-listen. Just fantastic.

This is the first ever Podtoid I have listened to, and it was stunning. I was literally crying from laughter. I suppose it's all downhill from here, but I'll keep on downloading anyway. LOVE YOU.
