Mediocre Joe

We all know how great calling Earwolf staff "boy" is thanks to Sean blazing that trail all the way back in Episode 40 with Intern Andy, and dang if Sean wasn't gracious enough today to quietly let Tom use his bit. Just a Tied-For-#1-Host helping a Fourth-Best-Host find his way, another everyday act of heroism by our Boys

Had to stop listening immediately after Sean dropped that drop about the Hamburger Men (you know which one) so that I can (1) splice it out of the MP3 and then (2) take a giant sip of coffee while looking at all the screens throughout my house

WOW a total 180 on Sean and Hayes's position re: Teaser Freezer theme hierarchy, never in a million years saw that coming (btw can any attorney sweeties let me know if sharing premium 'tent on the boards can land me in the ultimate lie zone, jail? Thank you)

Scott Anchorman (1) revealed himself to be a real Nostradumbus this ep by saying "it's not happening", well ehh! wrong (2) this was the most happenin show on Wolf Cool (3) or any other podcast network this year, bucko. Proof enough that the Boys deserve all that green they're now swimmin in (and if anyone's surprised about that, well, get your pencils out, Scoop Troop (4)). Friggin. (5) /this concludes the Prior Bits For Pro Version Preparations Protocol

I don't want to let myself believe the Pro Version is real because I've been hurt so many times before, but I poured Sanka all over the front of my chinos to be part of the crowd

I can't believe Moriarty is dead, the thing that was strongly implied at first and then explicitly confirmed by the Harry's Razors™ narrator WOW

I'll be your friend, Coyote Kevin (I am not in high school but I could try)

This is the kind of fan reaction that Sean would definitely not hate

Yummy scrom nom gimme that [podcast about] hair!

After hearing the St. Vintent roast, am v. glad I decided against calling in and doing hackneyed material from the show's lore (except for stealin on Cody, fans doing that bit still seems to really entertain The Good Boys). Rating: 11/10 overbearing microbrews

Really got the perfect amount of Kevin this week

If you all would please give me your Venmo so I can send money for snax / drinks / Deadpool commemorative cups, it would be very helpful in making me feel like I was there in spirit(s)

I love you and I'm in love with you, but they already made "Along Came Polly"

The Boys keeping it funky about advertisers is legitimately some of the best/most interesting stuff in all of podcastdom (except for the part where it's clearly an ongoing P in the A for Hayes and Sean, sorry about that sweeties).

Jimmy was a super sweetie all the way up til the very end when he said he only made two friends during the course of the ep. He really negged Clemdawg, the engineer, or Chef #3-Ranked Welterweight Kevin (obviously Hayes is one of the friends), any way you slice it I am very mama bear about The Boys and the Boy-adjacent so watch your patoot Jimbo!

Honestly cannot believe how game Jon was to be so brutal, someone politely offer K-Rohr a stint in the Teaser Freezer (it's so effin cold) to help with all the burns

"Let's work backwards from the dirt", but on my tombstone (a superlative Hayes quote from this week's great ep, and also seasonally appropriate)

An extremely top-notch guest and ep. Were we #blessed with a Biker Mice From Mars reference?!

Nothing funny to add (as usual), just wanted to say that the bit of: (1) Sean saying "Ted Sarandos" was at one time starting to become really funny, but now "Ted" seems like he's fully given up; (2) "Ted's assistant" chiming in with some borderline-nonsensical secret message to Brett; and (3) Hayes exclaiming "everyone at this company sucks" had me loffing as hard as I've loffed in a v. long time, and also cringing

I extremely liked this ep, not just because everybody involved is so obviously having a great time and is being funny, but also because it's caused me to honor Glenn Frey's memory all week by softly singing "Dee Cee Piers on / On the street" to myself.

I don't want this to turn into A Thing™, like when you tell someone they look nice and they're all like "what, so I don't look nice on other days?" and you're like "no no no, you always look nice, it's just that today is especially nice I guess?" and then everyone leaves vaguely dissatisfied. BUT: Hayes is on fire this episode. I was keeping score at home and I counted no fewer than three BBSLWNCFS's (Big Big Surprised Laughs With No Chance For Stifles) from Sean. I won't spoil them here, but I did write them down in my Notes app because I exhibit alarming cataloguing behaviors. This one's an all-timer, sportsfans.

Well judging by some of the discussion going on this week this may not be a Popular Opinion, but: this ep was lovely and nice and funny and I really liked Jessica Chaffin. Ban me if you have to, Dalton, but this is one story I'm stickin' to like a diaper to pea soup.

Really appreciate Sean's ad read at the top where he thanked us, his good fans, for making a difference for people. I don't think any kid dreams about being a professional food waster, but when duty calls, you answer. And then to be doubly blessed with moldy/stinky cheese talk! Great guest, great ep, great punk out, can't get enough of These Boys

I am so pleased that *SPOILER SPACING FOR SPOILERS* the Spectacular Santa-Man is back in a big way. It's beginning to look a lot like Fistmas* for Moriarty. Thanks to The Boys for a great ep with some great guests! *this just means a punch, not the other thing

This episode became available just in time for me to celebrate with a nice reuben on rye and twenty minutes of relief-weeping.
