this was a great episode I saw recently on instagram that Sean was playing the game Codenames. Thats a really good game!! If you like Codenames, there is a similar game called Decrypto that's also great, especially if you have a group that has played Codenames a lot and loves it. It's also less than 20 US bucks. I was able to play it for the first time by bringing it to Thanksgiving and the family had a ball with it.

Sean and Hayes talk to ADAM CONOVER about ruinsing everything.

OK, I'm not going to bring this up on the reddits, but do you get the sneaking suspicion that this whole Pee Cast/HH thing was a set-up? I may have my order wrong because I have no sense of time: Step 1. (REAL) Sean throws a jab at "Parking Lot Scott" just off the cuff, but it starts taking off online and weed-fueled "producer" Chef Kevin gets an idea to stoke the fires... Step 2. (FAKE) The boys bitch about Pee Cast Blast and make a big deal about it, the fans go wild. "Fuck the Doughboys" becomes a thing. Step 3. (FAKE) Scott comes on the show and confronts them about Parking Lot Scott as if he's irritated about it, also the boys bitch about Pee Cast Blast to him. In truth he already knows all about Parking Lot Scott. Step 4. (REAL) The HH fans go into a frothy madness online and Scott acts annoyed, but it actually raises awareness about Pee Cast so of course he is loving it. Step 5. (FAKE) Scott throws a jab about "the worst podcast audience" (HH) on CBB to further fuel the fire. Step 6. (REAL) BIG REVEAL - The Boys will be on Pee Cast WITH the Doughboys! Step 7. (FAKE) Scott pretends to be annoyed and says he "shadowbanned" them from Pee Cast, but in reality he's promoting Pee Cast again and The Boys. And there you have it. The machinations of one Chef Kevin laid out before you. See the boys are too cool to scheme this much because that takes effort and effort isn't cool; it takes a Kevin to do the dirty work. Whatchu think?

Look, I don’t know codenames, decrypto or your family, but they all sound very nice. Do you know what else sounds very nice? I do. it’s this episode. If anyone hasn’t listened to it, I’d say go ahead and do so.

learn from the best

TruTV used to be courTV. Chew on that.

During the discussion of Virtuosity it was brought up that both the main stars of the film were A-list Oscar winners and the question was brought up if this film had the most Oscar recipients. So I decided to start compiling a list of nominees and winners in HDTGM films. Names that I looked at were the actors, director, producers, and writers, but those names may not have won in those categories i.e. Justin Timberlake being nominated for Best Song but he acted in The Love Guru. If a person has both won an Oscar but has been nominated other times, I am only listing the win. I'm about 1/6th the way through the episode list, but will be continually working on it. Burlesque Nominated –Stanley Tucci for Lovely Bones Winner – Cher for Moonstruck Season of the Witch Winner – Nicolas Cage for Leaving Las Vegas Old Dogs Nominated – John Travolta for Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction Matt Dillon for Crash Winner – Robin Williams for Good Will Hunting Last Airbender Nominated – M.

Most consistently hilarious guest of the year! I love his absurdity. Big ups to people of all Stars and Stripes, of course, but props to Shaun for bringing the LOLs all year.

Oh my god I'm so sorry everyone!!! I had so much to do yesterday that I forgot it was this week. Ok so I was going to pick my favorite Disney movie Mary Poppins to celebrate the new one coming out but it's really expensive on Amazon and I couldn't find it free anywhere and would feel guilty about making people pay. So instead we're going to do another Disney musical ... Which is fully free on YouTube The costume choices alone in this movie... the kings suit alone! We are going to talk bout that SUIT!

Loving the partition!

my impression of the boys doing a record without an engineer:

I'm guessing that whoever was responsible for the "Bruce Willis: Tulip Expert" article read by the audience member was also responsible for this: (credit where credit's due: IMDB trivia)

At some point while they were concocting their plan, Miles suggests that Ro get online and "practice flirting" over the computer before going after Hill, so it seems that Miles set her up to look for some rando to cyber with, and used that as an opportunity to get her to dirty talk to him. Considering this, combined with his "voice acquisition" software, he was probably in his jack shack listening to Ro's voice enunciate all the dirty talk, having himself a good ol time. By the by, if I were starting my message board account today, "Jack Shack" would be my screen name. Maybe "Jack Shaq." 2007 was prior to the ubiquity of smart phones, and that, to me, is when the phone addiction really took off. Prior to that, most people I knew treated their phones much more causally. Yes, they took their phones out with them, but they'd be much more likely to leave a Nokia flip phone at the table while they went to the bathroom because they wouldn't have been able to look at YouTube while on the john like they can now.

You would have to argue it down to manslaughter to even get to the statute of limitations, because if they had a witness and a body, you can bet a prosecutor is going for a full tilt murder charge. But it doesn't make sense that Halle was giving into the blackmail years after the deed was done, her mom was hospitalized, she knows a bit more about the world, why not just call Grace on her bluff?

Correction: It wasn't just because the gay lover of the Senator clammed up that the story was killed by Halle's editor, he was also a supporter of the senator and killed the story, and then has her take a forced vacation for the heat to die down on the story. Yet it's not like Halle couldn't just put that story in a blog post or anything, especially when this movie was one of the first films to use an interactive marketing campaign that featured fully running blog and Youtube pages for the characters of Rowena, Grace, Mrs. Hill, especially as Rowena was using a pen name for her work at the paper, which not only seem like she got a huge scoop as a unknown reporter. As for the alternate endings that were shot, I could find nothing as to who was revealed as the killers in them. I assume Hill was actually the killer in one and then Miles maybe as he was shown to have had a relationship with Grace, but there is no confirmation one way or another. One written ending that was confirmed was that had Miles apparently successful in blackmailing Rowena, though I have to assume that was just too much of a bummer ending. Also in reference to the phrase "Show me a hot woman and I'll show you a man who's tired of sleeping with her," is crasser version of "the grass is always greener" where you see something or someone and wish that was in your life, but for the person who already has that in it, it's old hat and they are maybe looking at you and want what you have.

I hope you all will subscribe to Paul's new show on Stitcher Premium! (Shout out to my BF for making this for my BFF, "that girl" with the question; I was sitting next to her! )

Hey Paul. I have a really serious question.. Why does Halle want to solve this murder and draw more attention to it by writing a huge exposé? As the murderer, wouldn’t she want it to just slip through the cracks??? Sure you could assume she wants to pin it on Harrison Hill to really protect herself, but for all we know, the ONLY piece of evidence that eventually links her to the murder is that she previously visited the wife’s photography site. No cop is ever considering her and Halle was even told by Grace that she and her ex were recently doing “more fighting then fucking.” So Halle should just give that nugget to the cops and be on her way. Case closed. PS: Besides Bruce and Halle previously being in other HDTGM films, so to was the Rebook account. That was also the big get for the ad agency in “On the Line.” (The lance bass film... ha.)

Revised

I think this would be an excellent HDTGM selection -- a bizarro entry in an otherwise really solid franchise.

Radiohead seems like a natural fit. I would personally love Modest Mouse but I have no idea if either of them has any interest in that band.

I want to bump this but I also think it would make June has a nervous breakdown

The movie was made as a result of a fertilizer salesman betting he could make a movie without any experience or knowledge of the movie industry. There was no stipulation that it had to be a good movie. "The master would not be pleased"

James, you're in luck! They already did it! Episode 10 of HDTGM with guest Adam Pally. It's a classic. Enjoy!

New episode tomorrow. There’s been speculation that there’s no guest, no engineer and especially no kevin. Just 4 hours of the boys being the boys. I don’t know if that’s true, but it probably is
