756. The Climb Audiobook (Mike's Sci-Fi Novel!)
Swaim wrote a novel called The Climb, currently available as a lush, all-color PDF, as well as in an ereader-compatible format, and in physical form. THIS is a sample of the audiobook version of The Climb, read by the author, a man named Michael.

One Last Job - A comic book by Michael Swaim and Garth von Ahnen.
Gonna listen to this over the course of a few days, thank you guys so much for putting it out. Proud of you Swaim!
"The other one is very far ahead of you" part was super annoying in audiobook format. Sorry, Swaim. I love all of your work and I grew up reading you, but that part gave me a headache like immediately lol
Was this based off of that Miley Cyrus song? Or was it Hannah Montana? I used to work for Disney, and got those young ladies mixed up all the time lol.
"IIWII" is your "So it goes."
"The fabled birthday present that took 2 years to make?" 4 years later Daniel STILL hasn't gotten that present from Soren 😂
This reminds me of nothing so much as the fake novel Kilgore Trout wrote in Breakfast of Champions, the classic and widely beloved Bruce Willis comedy, which is readily available now on many platforms and in many formats, because the movie business always operates as it should. Anyway sarcasm aside, it's written in the person of god, as a letter of apology, to the only actual thinking human on a planet of falsely humanoid robots, and it happens to be just what Bruce's character needs to hear to break his own personal psychosis at the right moment. It's all very 'baby's first 70's sci fi novel' on purpose, illustrating Kilgore's odd character, as, I suppose this does yours. I am not sure if I even mean this as a compliment or not, it's just an observation, my strongest one, but hey, any comparison to Vonnegut can't be all bad. Good luck in your endeavors.
Some real nice Hrrrrnggghhhs in this one
CONGRATS ON THE SMALL BEAN!!! im stoked to hear this! i’ve always been a big fan of your voice (both auditory wise and writing wise) you’re an inspiration!
Oh damn! Love your writings. I think about that short story about the last couple in the universe that you performed on Tales from the Pit weekly.
This has been uploaded for 6 minutes! I'm late to the party!
You're right, Phill Hartman *is* good.
Full Length Book suggestion: Legend of Bagger Vance, the movie was faithful all the way through but its still a great read, and the cast of the movie was phenomenal edit: oh and a River runs through it
@@devinm9245 solid backup pick🤙
does. not. compute... just, the best
Rick Moranis sucks. So do you.
This one makes me want them to cover Frequency haha
Wait, what was the thing in Arrival that they should have known earlier? You realize that the 'narrative' part of that film is the Amy Adams character discovering what the language does to your perception of time?
Dude's a prophet
All I’m reading is DCs kingdom come, some of the best justice league writing out there and beautiful painterly illustration for every damn panel. 10/10
Okay, so Michael clearly knows someone who worked on that doco right?
And it turned out Borderlands, did indeed, suck ass.
If there had been an actual quarantine, this would be better.
This was a worthy send off the a legendary series.
I don’t go to movies anymore, I just let Mike give me the gist so I’m culturally current. Way more fun this way.
Rip clippy
Sorry man I dont carry around spare help anymore, everythings on card these days. I got some sawdust I can hook you up with though at the end of my socks... No thats silly, you wouldnt want that.
🎉
This series is like a continuation of cracked tv' S.W.A.I.M and I'm all for it
Seriously We All Need More Swaim. I Gave up on the acronym half way through leave me alone.
Thanks Man!
Wahlberg sucks shit in this movie which i think is what kept it from being loved He either can't act or is the world's greatest method actor
❤
Been watching you since S.W.A.I.M. on cracked. You've only gotten funnier. Stand up was awesome btw
Swaim, what video games ya'll playing? Over here, missing the celestial hard drive.
The bag man, man! What? Thats the driver, man. You don’t think I’m driving and handling the money at the same time. It’s dude, so that’s what you call me.
oof, and a painfully dismissive ending to boot
The only time I had heard of the "Bagman" before was in "The Way of the Gun".
Hope you're well, Michael 8^)
In my culture, a "bagman" is a person who delivers drugs
In my culture, Bagman keeps the streets of Totham safe.
Give me more Daddy. DNC fan here - still all up in ya bizness in 2024! Pop Pop!
Yeah me too!
A version of this film from Morgan Freeman's character's perspective would be amazing. That's a great idea! It's always great to see Morgan Freeman in anything, but his character here plays somewhere between audience POV, "Magical Negro", and a sidekick...somehow he is none of those but also All of the Above at the same time. I finally got around to re-watching this for the podcast. Coincidentally, I recently re-watched the Errol Flynn version about a week ago; it's pretty much better in almost every way but also tells the exact same story--like this film was a remake of that one instead of just being a new telling of the classic tale. Including weird beats that are apparently "canon" now, like Robin being a Nobleman
Modern movies have no emotion, creativity, or plot. The release of most Disney movies since their live remakes has shown this pandering is leading to human extinction
Are you not going to watch the Roald Dahl short stories anthology Wes did for Netflix?
Holy shit. Dahl was a formative author in my youth. Thank you for telling me this exists!
I had a quick google of the dresses from the film and I found two articles about how ugly and unspectacular the dresses are and how it's intentional. They were some interesting reads, check that out, whoever's reading this.
In spite of all else, I do like the set design on the machine itself. It's really creative.
Hmmm…. By your own declaration and legal obligation, I vote for you guys to discuss Roy Andersson’s films from World of Glory through About Endlessness. He even has the double ‘s’ in the middle.
I see longer episodes as an absolute win
Just here to tell you that The Wild Robot is actually based on the book of the same name by Peter Brown, not the Becky Chambers novel. Just FYI. 😊
I LOVE The Other Guys
Where's my Void Guy?! Bring back Void Guy! _Justice for Void Guy!_
I sure miss Cracked when you guys were posting actually interesting articles. I was pretty disappointed the last time i checked it
You're aware that none of these guys are on cracked anymore, right?
