The Diary of What The Pod F Bang Bang Ep 11 w/ Ken Armistead: Jen Kirkman & Tig Notaro are discussed

Summary: Ken Armistead my friend from high school who has lived in Japan for the last decade joins us to discuss I SEEM FUN THE DIARY OF JEN KIRKMAN PODCAST EP 26: SLOW RIDE AND NOT TAKING IT EASY from 11/6/13 as well as WTF W/ MARC MARON EP 439 featuring Seth Meyers, Big Jay Oakerson, Tig Notaro, Trevor Noah & Eddie Izzard. I'm in love with this new long form diary format that Jen Kirkman is doing to perfection, she podcasts while in her pajamas laying in her bed. One of my favorite parts of her podcast is when she pats the bed to prove through the sound that she actually is in her bed. Ken surprisingly felt a little uncomfortable being in this new woman's bedroom, but then fell in love like a normal person. Then we get into this crazy live WTF from the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal where we heard Seth Meyers talk about buying beer, Big Jay Oakerson talk about being touched in a porn shop, Tig Notaro talk about getting CDIF, her mom dying, going through a bad break-up and then getting breast cancer in a 4 month span. It turns out Ken was listening to Tig's podcast the entire time she was going through all that. Ken is a podcast expert. He said he spends 20 hours commuting on trains a week in Japan! So he needs and knows podcasts - and it was amazing to hear his perspective on Tig. The great Marc Maron also speaks to Trevor Noah, who Marc Maron says the comedy world is very excited about - he grew up under apartheid and it was very interesting to hear him talk about it. Finally Eddie Izzard complains about the British monachy saying it sets a bad example for kids. Oh, and look out for a very special call-in guest - you guessed it, Lance Wu calls in to ask Ken a question and do a quick impression of him. In all seriousness, Ken was a very influential friend as far as his personality and general point of view. WTPFBB pulled off a major coup with this get! :) You can watch low resolution video of us here: http://youtu.be/l8IWBQEf4nw
