I urge you, if you only know Gourley from this, go and listen to The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project. Gourley has been doing this for decades and is a master at improv.
My favorite episode of TADPPP is the "The Travel Bug" German One, where Andy is August Lindt, Gourley is H.R. Giger, Matt Besser is Pope Benedict, and Paul F. Tompkins is Werner Herzog. Indescribably funny.
Bonanas for Bonanza is my new favorite podcast. Andy Daly is such a brilliant improviser and Gourley and Maria Bamford are hilarious sidekicks. Unfortunately, now I find myself swearing with an old west accent around the house on a daily basis. Thank you Andy, Matt and Maria for all the laughs. Andy Richter was an awesome guest. Looking forward to Conan doing the podcast. I hope he plays a bizarre old-west character.
To build on Conan's OSHA sketch. I want Conan to be the Oompa Loompa that reports Wonka for an unsafe work environment after getting stretched in a taffy puller.
For those who don’t know, Matt Gourley is somewhat of a comedy podcast genius and has been doing this for almost twenty years. His Superego is absolutely hilarious. When Conan talked about meeting Matt for the first time, many people in the biz told him how lucky he was to be working for him.
Gourley needs to work at Knot a Problem, playing a character called Gordian who comes in when Andy can't untangle something to dramatically cut through it with a sword
I’ve read the Wikipedia page and every episode description for Review at least 5 times and someday, someday (if I’m really lucky) I’ll actually get to see an episode
@@activatewindows AGREED! The “glory hole” one was one of my favorites. When he’s outside that families fence who’s eating dinner out in their backyard, and yells “excuse me, is this a glory hole?!” still gets me. Lol.
This has been one of the best episodes this year, Andy Daly is great. I didnt know that much about him before but now I know I def need to check his shows
Watch “Review.” My fave show from Andy Daly. His character spends each episode earnestly reviewing random, sometimes existential human experiences. Not sure if its on Hulu, Paramount Plus, or Max, but it is worth a binge.
Andy and Matt should have recorded the conversation with Fat Brands! However: since California is an all-party consent state (everyone on a phone convo must give consent to record), Matt or Andy would need to call from another state, like neighboring Arizona, Nevada, or Oregon. Also, they'd need to casually steer the conversation to the commission of extortion, kidnapping, bribery, or violence (like human trafficking or domestic violence) - to make it legal. But this is why they're improv pros.
Love Andy, love Bananas for Bonanza, and happy Conan finally acknowledged Matt's improv background. I often wonder why it never comes up that Matt has been doing characters on various comedy podcasts long before Conan threw his hat in the ring. Does Conan even know Gourley is an accomplished musician with legitimately good albums?
@@MajorJJH Well, I don't really watch all the YT clips, but I do listen to the main podcast on the reg, but not all the fan minisodes. Do you remember which episode it was discussed?
I grew up with Bonanza in Germany. I thought Bonanza was the prime show of America and everybody knows it. Then I later met an American and she had no idea this show existed.
Knot a Problem would be an awesome skit if guy starts off saying “Don’t worry, knot a problem” and ends up frustrated and just goes apeshit and destroys the tangled items every time
Andy Daly is so good I didn’t realize his characters were played by the same guy for quite some time. I know him mostly from the Comedy Bang Bang podcast, or I probably would’ve figured it out sooner, but dang he’s great!
Little Joe's stunt double replaced his boots from black to brown and didn't tell the production coordinator. In some episodes you can see Little Joe's boots change color in the middle of a fight scene.
My local station played Bonanza reruns during the day in the 90s and I noticed how they could do a serious, dramatic episode and then the next one would be silly comedy.
5:52 Matt completely failed to mention that the the "voice reenactor" was non other than the Clown Prince of rock'n'roll him self JOE WALSH.......who had to get sober in 1994 becuase he was out of options
There is an episode where some gritters unload like..200? rabbits on Hoss, but he is confused about what the rabbits are for... Spoiler: they are for eating. Ben catches the grafters trying to steal the rabbits back for some reason and forces them at gunpoint to pay back the money Hoss paid in the first place. And the grafters take the rabbits back....to be eaten. It has been a long time since I watched it so I may be getting some of the details wrong..I just remember thinking: WTF?
My wife is always coming to me with her tangled gold chains. Hopefully this business will get off the ground so I can tell her it's "Knot my problem" and have it resolved by a professional.
Bonanza sounds like it has the same weirdness as the old Australian kids show Round The Twist, which was based on a whole set of weird and sometime dark short stories by an author, reworking them so it was always about the same family. One time the older brother peed on a tree and accidentally got it pregnant.
"It's a lawsuit left and right!" Someone has clearly forgotten the part of the film where everyone has to sign a waiver so long and convoluted and mysterious that for all we know, they're not allowed to sue anyone for the rest of their lives anymore
I lived waaaaaay off grid for a couple years, the only media I could really rely on was blocks of old radio shows I could download when I was around civilization, the old Gunsmoke radio show is a gold mine gentleman, that era when radio was converting to TV is fascinating. Plus the old cigarette commercials are hilarious.
