But there's still no other show that I've listened to as consistently as this one.

Riiiiiiiiight!?!

The other Old Skool 2005 era podcast host I wish they'd get down with is Jesse Thorn (The Sound of Young America, Jordan Jesse Go, Bullseye).

They've had his buddy Jordan Morris on KATG a couple years ago and it was hi-lar, but never crossed it up with Jesse before.

I've social media tagged it and everything. A while back I even asked Jesse why he didn't podhookup with KATG last time they were West and he said he'd have loved to, it just hadn't happened.

I’ve never heard what Mitzi Shore sounded like, but Ari does such a perfect impersonation- you know exactly what she sounded like. If you’re a comedy nerd, you like the history, and know the importance of the Comedy Store - you gotta listen to this ep.

Ari was Mitzi’s driver. He both loved and feared her. But he’s Ari so he’s just as open on her tyrannical- iron fist - evil as her kindness.

“I was her driver. So I’d try and give everyone [employees of the Store] a heads up when we were coming. Cuz if she saw you not working; you were fired. Everyone was in constant fear of her. “

“She fed off firing people. It kept her young. When she stopped firing people that’s when she died”

Man. I’m hardcore on my comedy history. There’s tons of tidbits and stories I never heard before. Ari also puts Mitzi’s skill at grooming talent into a context I’ve never heard before.

A lot of comics took to Twitter and Instagram after Mitzi’s death. “RIP Mitzi” and all that. I think this ep is the best homage. It’s real. Plus Ari doing Mitzi voice is so good. I wish he’d do an audiobook.

Oh. It’s funny how Pardo called the Comedy Store a ‘dark place’ cuz I’ve heard that from every comic whose been there. Listening to Ari tell it, you begin to understand.

The owner was an insane, (and brilliant) control freak.

Oh, wow, yeah, this makes me realize something similar. Don't think I ever heard her actual voice, but I've heard multiple people impersonate her. Heh.

(Kind of like 90 percent of everyone on SNL has some sort of Lorne Michaels impression, maybe. They love them and they fear them. Or something.)
