Pistol Shrimps
There is a small amateur women’s basketball team out of LA who has gone somewhat viral. Aubrey Plaza, who is/was on the team, talked about them on Jimmy Fallon. Then two guys, who know very little about basketball, started a podcast with Earwolf where they do the play-by-play. It is very entertaining if you want something on in the background. ABC News has even did a piece on them.
Here is a sample episode.

- This is a gorgeous :50 video illustrating absurdity.
- Wanna know the stories behind a lot of signature sounds?
- If you got an hour, you can watch Rory Scovel’s whole new standup hour.
- Michelle Wolf had a great piece after the election.
- Comedy Central has a series I may have posted before called “This Is Not Happening” that are worth a watch. Check out Maria Bamford or Kyle Kinane.

Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen) and ROSTAM (Vampire Weekend) teamed up to release a new album. I’m digging it. There’s a link to the album via Spotify in this NPR article:

Great voices. Tiny Desk Concert is much better than the studio version:
