Ten Minute Podcast

From left to right: Bryan Callen, Chris D'Elia and Will Sasso

The Ten Minute Podcast is hosted by actors/comedians Will Sasso, Chris D’Elia and Bryan Callen. The three hosts are good friends and they talk about politics, women, current events and their careers, but they mostly end up making fun of each other’s personalities, careers and lives.

 

Chris D'Elia on Workaholics as Topher, the ballin' pedophile

The hosts’ experiences as entertainers are the backbone of this comedy podcast. Will Sasso has been in many movies, but is mostly recognized from his years on the comedy sketch show Mad TV and his popular Vines. Bryan Callen is a stand-up comedian and actor who, like Sasso, was on Mad TV and comedies like The Hangover and Ride Along. Chris D’Elia is an energetic stand-up comedian who is known for his work on the shows Whitney as and on Workaholics as Topher, the lovable pedophile.

Some episodes include special “celebrity guests” like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hulk Hogan and Mike Tyson, but the guests are usually one of the hosts doing an obvious and hilarious impression. Most of the episodes involve Sasso and D’Elia ganging up on Callen somehow by and making fun of how old he is or how he isn't funny. Also, there are characters that appear on the show including Everybody's Dad, rapper Chank Smith, and Mary Stuart Foley. The podcast is basically three friends who record themselves while they talk shit to each other; it’s fantastic.

The Champs Podcast

The Champs Podcast is a comedy podcast hosted by Chappelle's Show  co-creator  
Neal Brennan and stand-up comedian Moshe Kasher. The comedians, who call themselves "The Champs," interview black comedians, journalists, musicians, actors and other minority entertainers.

Most of The Champs Podcast episode's are about 60-90 minutes and has vulgar language, explicit content, crude humor and it's brilliant. Some of the best interviews have been JB Smoove, Chris Rock, David Alan Grier and Too $hort. 

Older episodes featured a third member of The Champs named Doug Lussenhop, a.k.a DJ Douggpound, who would play sound effects during interviews. He explains in the Reggie Watts episode, recorded in April 2013, that he had to quit because he was "burnt out" after a year and a half on the podcast and making no money from it. 

Moshe Kasher and Neal Brennan with rapper Action Bronson

Kasher and Brennan have been fans of hip-hop and the culture behind it since they were growing up. Moshe Kasher, a small Jewish guy, was raised in Oakland, California. In Oakland, according to Kasher, black culture is the dominant culture, so he grew up in a black neighborhood and went to black schools. Neil Brennan co-created one of the best sketch shows of all time with Dave Chappelle and is now a stand-up comedian who recently released a comedy special called Women and Black Dudes, because Brennan says that's what most of his material is about. 

A wide variety of topics are covered in this podcast. From vulgar sex talk to race-relations, The Champs always seem to transition from one topic to another seamlessly. There are strong opinions and this show is definitely not politically correct. It's men talking to each other while there are no women around, hilarious. Brennan and Kasher make their guests feel relaxed and tell stories of life on the road, sexual conquests and racial issues. This is one of the best comedy podcasts on the internet and worth a listen.
