Best fake podcast ever

This may be a little too "inside baseball", in that it's "inside Los Angeles talk radio", but you really should take a listen to the Fake Leykis Podcast.

It's not the real Tom Leykis, who for years taught young men not to knock women up, get married before age 30, or spend more than $40 on a date. Rather, it's Fake Tom Leykis (aka self-deprecating comedic genius Brian David Whitman) doing fake interviews, laughing inanely, busting out with additional dead-on impressions, and calling all women bitches. I burst into uncontrollable laughter several times today listening to the two episodes that are currently available.

You don't have to be familiar with the Tom Leykis oeuvre in order to appreciate the keen parody, but familiarity adds several layers of enjoyment for me. (I'm also familiar with the Leykis parody, as Fake Leykis frequently called into the Adam Carolla radio show on KLSX to laugh at tragic news stories. Genius.)
