Bob MackeyHOST
Show and Ben Stiller Show crew, a few very notable Mr.
Bob MackeyHOST
Show sketches are at least co-written by Brent Forrester, uh, who at the time it seems like his writing partner was Dino Stamatopoulos.

Henry GilbertHOST
Dino Stamatopoulos, you may know him as Star Burns on Community, but in the more wild days of podcasting, he put out a lot of stories that were like- ... crazy sex stories that were funny on his part to hear, for sure

Beau MaddoxHOST
It's like if anybody knows, Moral Orel famously was canceled after, uh, they were going in a dark, the, the, uh, higher-ups, uh, Ke- Keith Crawford and Mike Lazzo, they wanted, uh, the show to go a little darker.
Beau MaddoxHOST
And so Dino Stamatopoulos, he pretty much made one of the darkest, uh, things ever made on Adult Swim and ever shown.
Beau MaddoxHOST
It was, uh, Alone, I believe it was called, which is, uh, just goes in some very, very dark...
Beau MaddoxHOST
I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone 'cause people need to see that-
Beau MaddoxHOST
... and experience, but it pretty much got it canceled on the spot.

Judd ApatowGUEST
And Ben had a real, you know, vision for what he wanted to do in terms of cinematic comedy because, you know, we had seen all these great filmic sketches from people like Albert Brooks and SCTV, and we thought, "Oh, we could do like SCTV if they had a bigger budget." And you could really make it look like the movie you're parodying.
Judd ApatowGUEST
And then we, you know, we had people on like Bob Odenkirk and David Cross and Dino Stamatopoulos, and they were bringing a completely different type of comedy into the show.
Judd ApatowGUEST
But again, you know, it was a unique show.
Judd ApatowGUEST
It was up against 60 Minutes.
Judd ApatowGUEST
And so Ben and I were really inventing the wheel as we were going along.

There was a series that my friend Dino Stamatopoulos made back in the 2000s called Moral Oral.
Greg FitzsimmonsHOST
And I think it aired on the Cartoon Network.
Greg FitzsimmonsHOST
I can't remember, but remember Davey and Goliath?
Alison RosenHOST
Is that the poop deck? Yes.
Alison RosenHOST
And then sometimes she would just poop off the side of the boat or poop in the bucket and then throw it off the side.
Greg FitzsimmonsHOST
I love that Alison Rosen is your new best friend.

It's really the PBS of podcasts.
