Description:

I head a joke told to me at a bar once that went a little like this:  What do you get when you take 2 improvisors who know absolutely nothing about sports, a couple of microphones, a women's recreational basketball league and an occasional guest star/friend of one of the improvisors who sits in and assists with calling each game they attend?  Why, Pistol Shrimps Radio of course!  Confused, I asked the person what the hell kinda joke that was to which they responded: ain't no joke, friend.  Take a listen to this.  The person slid their headphones onto my ears and the rest was history.  I was introduced to one of the most random, hilarious podcasts that, to this day, makes me laugh without fail.  Mark McConville and Matt Gourley began attending the rec league basketball games that their improvisor friends were playing in and decided to bring along some recording equipment just in case they got the urge to record their take on the action.  Sure enough, the hilarity ensued immediately and has continued through 4 seasons and counting.  Guest stars such as Colin Hanks, PFT, Tig Notaro, Jensen Karp, etc. add to the mystery of just how each game will be called.  For those of you who enjoy laughing at the absurdity of improv for improv's sake done by some of the most talented performers in the business, Pistol Shrimps Radio is for you.  In fact, they even did an entire documentary about them on SeesoTv that is worth checking into.  So sit back, grab a gatorade, some orange slices and a handful of sour patch kids and enjoy the conversation that Reina and I had about the wonderful podcast called Pistol Shrimps Radio.
