[Episode 32 — B.J. Novak, Our Close Friend]

This is making me want to go back and update this and fix all the mistakes and weird parts I somehow overlooked back then.

 

Editing is for losers who can't get it right first time. If you want to be the kind of chump that spends his life looking back and living with regret, go ahead.

 

I don't play it that way, which is why I always hand in the first draft of anything I've ever done.

[Episode 32 — B.J. Novak, Our Close Friend]

I believe "Sean Hayes" is a legal fiction created by Sean and Hayes to get around SAG and WGA restrictions on the maximum amount of pay permitted in a single tax year.

 

So S+H employ some dumbf**k nobody to act as their legal proxy - that way they can work on their sitcom and game night projects through "him" ("he" is technically a corporation), while also maxing out their own personal Annual Permitted Pay levels.

 

I guess those are the kinds of loopholes you can exploit if you can afford to keep Power Lawyers LLP on retainer.

Why is everyone talking about League of Legends?

[Episode 32 — B.J. Novak, Our Close Friend]

cats are weird because their like lil' lions, but dogs are lil' wolves so it all works out in the end I guess.

[Episode 32 — B.J. Novak, Our Close Friend]

Oh shit, sorry guys, that was supposed to be a private message to Freja.

P.S. I think Paul just doesn't understand what your audience wants in a sound drop. The clips he sends in are just drawn-out rambles now. I think the audience really wants to hear more about England and royal families and fish and chips and people called Andrew (NOT Andy).

Sorry but I just couldn't get in all the Spider Men talk.

 

1) Hollywood is catering WAy to much to nerds right now, more athletes movies please. Less Stan Lee, more Stanley! (cup)

2) The very concept of a half-spider, half-man is terrifying to me.

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

At first I didnt want to know you ever but this just makes me want to be your friend more and i would like to submit an application, so let me state my case. firstly, i am a great friend to have. I carry now & laters candies on my person at all times and always enough to share with my bros. I am relatively hygienic ...

APPLICATION DENIED.

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to win.

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

If I had a question for Anders it would be, do you get annoyed by people calling you Ders, like in that show? Sometimes people call me Drew and I'm like "this situation is like my favourite Ting Tings song... that's not my name!"

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

I want to hang out with you guys but I can't afford the air fare

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

am I too late to be post numero one-hundo?

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

Best way to get comments is to generate some controversy... maybe leak some no-make-up photos of Hayes? Or Sean could drop a sex tape?

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

Dear Mr Clement and Davenports, what is the best clothes I should wear if I have a big Hollywood meeting like a pitch or a audition etc?

[Episode 31 — Dave Thomas, Our Close Friend]

Pretty good ep, but guest's name was really boring. I prefer more weird name sort of stuff, Mantzoukas, etc.

[Episode 30 — Little Esther, Our Close Friend]

Ooh, June 10 is tricky for me... going out that night for my new girl's b-day (she wants to keep it hush-hush so no names, but let's just say she's turning 22 and just showed off her comedy chops in "The Other Woman" - oops, I might have said too much!)

 

She would be piiiissssed if I went to Italy - unless I can bring her too? She hates the show, by the way, don't know if that will change your decision.

[Episode 30 — Little Esther, Our Close Friend]

Mr Movak, you were on Punked. What is a good prank that I can play on my little sis?

 

Also for Mr Novvak, your first book was described as a "fictional collection of "Woody Allen"-like stories"; frankly, I find it inappropriate that anyone would want to write or read about that kind of sick stuff. I suppose my question is, what's the appeal?

 

 

Mr Thomas, you hold Canadian, British, and U.S. citizenship. Which is your favourite, and why is it British?

 

Also, you were a copywriter at McCann Erickson in the '70s. Do you feel that Mad Men, and specifically the character of Don Draper, is modelled after your life story? Did you have a black secretary too?

[Episode 30 — Little Esther, Our Close Friend]

jeez that almost gave me a heart attack, take that kind of sick s**t back to 4chan please.

[Episode 30 — Little Esther, Our Close Friend]

Yeah, they sang "Mmm Bop", right?

[Episode 30 — Little Esther, Our Close Friend]

I don't understand, do we submit our questions for Lil' Esther now? And then you'll edit them in to the episode?

 

My question is: does she know her name is an anagram of "Settle Hitler", and why didn't she think we'd notice?

[New reality SHOW show episode!]

Why wasn't I informed of this?

[Episode 29 — Jordan Morris, Our Close Friend]

The kind of crystal I like is the kind I down by the bottle at the hottest clubs with all my hot girlfriends!(cristal!)

[Episode 29 — Jordan Morris, Our Close Friend]

I can't be the only one who thinks the V doesn't go deep enough - don't be afraid to show off those rock-hard abs!
