I like Dan. Dude almost seems like a character created exclusively for giant bomb content.

 

[Andrew.]

I thought you were going to a different place with the "Giant Bongcast" name.

Whatchu talkin bout Myggs?

 

[daydream]

I love pogs! Had so many Pokemon ones.

"What's the problem, John?" lol

 

[ScottSullivan]

OMG @ the Matt Kessler Stories

"It was like eating a ghost" lmao about bannanas I haven't laughed that hard in so long

motherfucker is perfect.

 

[Andrew.]

motherfucker is perfect.

Yep

He's my fav

 

[ScottSullivan]

Do we have any source for this TMZ Dan Ryckert video they mentioned in passing?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Seriously. Its like so much of him is so odd/strange it formed a human so perfect for this job.

 

[Brad Grenz]

Brad is doing really well in the host role and "Dryshave" Dan makes a perfect wildcard.

Oh, man! I didn't see it until now, but Dan is basically Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

Myggen is a narc!

 

[Andrew.]

Myggen is a narc!

Yeah thought so

They're prevalent round these parts

 

[Incandenza]

"Sausalito maker," oh my god hahaha

 

[eznark]

motherfucker is perfect.

Dan is great. He is also the worst.

 

[Blastoise]

Brad hosting was the best decision they could've made. He's just so on point when he has something to do. Dan is amazing. Drew is amazing. JD was amazing. This bombcast was amazing.

 

[Andrew.]

Brad just has that good sounding radio voice. Very distinguishable and unique.

 

[ultron87]

I really enjoy how Dan always says someone is a "really cool guy" and I have no idea why.

 

[1upmuffin]

Brad is continuing to do a great job hosting the podcast.

Dan is a great addition to the crew.

Giant Bomb rocks.

Big Idiot <-----------------------------> Really Cool Guy

 

[Xyrmellon]

Just ordered my Sausalito machine from Amazon. Dan can talk me into buying anything!

Drew > Dan > You

 

[eznark]

Gotta say that aside from his previously incredibly poor choice of emails, Brad has been really fantastic as a host. The show moves along a lot better. I like the Jeff-casts but he let shit go on way too long. Brad is more crisp.

This is accurate, lol.

Also, butts.

 

[Andrew.]

Just give me the possible eventual Dan casts.
The dudes eccentricities challenge everyone, he has good taste in games, and he's an overall really friendly, down to earth and honest guy. I say bring it the fuck on.

 

[Lingxor]

100 years ago, Dan wouldn't have survived beyond the age of 12.

 

[G-Pink]

I came here especially from listening to the podcast to say; I need that feature with Kessler and Dan eating strange foods.

It sounds so amazing.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Oh, man! I didn't see it until now, but Dan is basically Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

I made that connection today lol

Is it strange food or food that regular people eat?

 

[njean777]

Brad is a beast at hosting and should stay the indefinite host for now on. It is nice to actually hear him speak for more than maybe 10minutes. I feel like this turnaround from everybody is great. The casts sound much livelier and everybody sounds like they are having a good time.

Brad has been speaking plenty for the past year. He really stepped up after Ryan passed away.

 

[hamchan]

Yo that was a great bombcast ep right there.

 

[Celegus]

Old Man's War is a very disappointing book. Great concept with very poor execution. Don't know why it gets the praise it does. Try Armor. Or Forever Peace. Or many others.

The first couple chapters started with a great premise, but then it turned into the most boring and predictable sci-fi tropefest I've ever read. This made me cringe almost as much as hearing people recommend Ready Player One. There's plenty of good books out there... those are not two of them.

 

[Broder Salsa]

The talk about Kessler was truly fantastic. What a human bean

 

[iNvid02]

hes not real, he cant be

 

[bjork]

Dan is cool because he wears Nike Cortez.

Proof that Baseball is a really boring sport - you can find a paper airplane more interesting at the game than the actual players on the field.

That'd never happen at another sporting event.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

OK. This episode really warmed me up to Dan. I thought he was just kind of dumb before, but he's actually just hilarious. Great addition to Giant Bomb.

 

[Haunted]

That'd never happen at another sporting event.

To be fair, that's England playing.

I'd be bored, too.

 

[Palabrah]

Dan has infused a level of fun that was not present since Drew took over for Ryan. My favorite podcast is back,thanks Dan!

Yup Dan is fucking gold and exactly what the cast needed. I listened every week but he definitely upped the fun quota and is a LOT less jaded about games

Thats just Dodger fans for you.

OMG @ the Matt Kessler Stories

"It was like eating a ghost" lmao about bannanas I haven't laughed that hard in so long

I only just realized what the hell the image for the podcast was in reference to.

 

[Anth0ny]

Holy shit that story at the end. I was cracking up at the gym.

fucking Dan.

 

[Dartastic]

fucking Dan.

That Jose Canseco stuff? Fucking HILARIOUS.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

No joke, I bombed an eye test on purpose in like 3rd grade too because I wanted glasses. For some reason I thought glasses were cool because of Johnny Cage (though I could have just gotten sunglasses I guess?). I didn't keep wearing them though I'm not crazy lol. Needless to say when my mom asked me why I wasn't wearing them and I came clean she was piiiiiiiiiiiiiissed.

 

[Vitor711]

Anyone unable to download this from their usual podcast app? Beyondpod lists it as 11kb which is weird because every one prior is at least 89MB....

 

[Yaboosh]

The last few bombcasts have been some of the best ever. Brad hosting is perfect, keeps him engaged and allows Jeff to fuck around. Dan is amazing as a counterpoint to Drew. John Drake was a great villain to Dan. Great stories. Great emails. Great great great.

 

[mr2xxx]

Never been a big fan of the Bombcast but Dan has made it much better.

 

[Infinite Justice]

That Jose Canseco stuff? Fucking HILARIOUS.

i think its the one after the credits/bombcast song

 

[Yaboosh]

I love how Dan admits to being a Twitter troll. I wish Patrick were there for that part.

 

[megalowho]

Feels like this new Bombcast era needs a new version of the theme, hasn't been updated in a while. Wouldn't mind some break music every once a blue moon either.
