  1. i wish you guys could've been there to witness the whole interview situation. i cannot even tell you how funny certain moments were to witness that were not really discussed on the podcast.

     

    we missed so many potential interviews because he would explode in nervous energy and drop his recorder. and so many goddamn okie dokies.

     

    and then the polish dude (who looked like an even bigger liam neeson) came back with his cell phone in our faces filming us super paranoid like he was catching scandalous voter intimidation on video. eric almost shit himself.

     

    then eric could not for the life of him remember where we parked our cars, kept trying to go down the opposite direction. if i wasn't there he would've been wandering around beverly hills for hours.

  2. What article did your girlfriend give you that taught you how to do this? This sounds like fun to try!

    man i wish i could remember. but the best part about it was it broke down basic mustard theory, which is this:

     

    at its very core, mustard is two things. ground mustard and cold liquid. you can mix yellow mustard powder and water and you're going to end up with a very simple yellow mustard (it will probably still kick the shit out of french's).

     

    the third ingredient to really tie it together and make it last on the shelf is an acid, usually vinegar.

     

    the cold liquid and the ground mustard start a magical chemical process that starts strong. the vinegar freezes that process in place. so you should wait at least 10, 20, 30 minutes to pour the acid in. then let the stard sit on the shelf or in the fridge for a few days to a week before digging in. the bitterness needs some time to settle down. the colder you keep it, the more strength will be retained.

     

    from there you can go in ALL directions though, your imagination is the only limit. you can add whatever other ingredients and mustards you want to the powder: salt, sugar, herbs, horseradish, whatever. you can add or substitute other liquids for the water, like grape juice? you can use white wine vinegar instead of plain.

     

    brown mustard is stronger than yellow. black is the strongest. i find that you want a solid yellow base to all mustards though as pure brown/black can be overwhelming.

     

     

    there are lots of recipes online, i find that no two are at all alike. i've basically borrowed some concepts but for the most part gone my own way. just remember the simple origins of mustard, and let that guide your vision.

  3. I like that sg picture Brett. One of my buddies builds really sweet guitars up in Santa Cruz. If you're into that stuff I'll send you his info?

    That's my baby. I put a Bigsby on it, so sexy.

     

    Yeah man, I'd be interested. Thanks! I doubt I could afford anything like that though :(


  4. I like to believe Earwolf is a comedy co-op commune. Scott is milling about in the hallway and can be called upon anytime. Paul F. is dry cleaning his suits in the washroom. Matt Besser and Howard are on the porch smoking weed. Grant-Lee is playing old hymns with Rocky by his feet. And Jeff is in a panic room with "Sliver" style monitors covering three walls.

    you're not that far off

  5. thanks chartists! getting those sounds out of hermes wasn't easy, i'm not particularly proud of what i had to do, she's a good sport though.

     

    i just need a little more time on the mustard. it's a very delicate, mysterious process. once it happens though, the mustard world will be blown wide open

  6. hey guys, you can dump your youtubes in here and we might use them on the show!

     

    Your video is more likely to be used on the show if...

    • It's NOT an act, a fake, or funny-on-purpose.
    • It's NOT a music video.
    • It's NOT an "Everything is Terrible" style edit.
    • It doesn't rely on the visual to understand. It needs to work on an audio podcast.
    • For long videos, you let me know when I should start it to get to the good part. There should be a way to embed the video to start at the time you want.
    • It's not too similar to other videos and subject matter that has been used before.


  7. To really get the Precious Bros Chocolate bit, I think you've gotta see the original.

     

     

    It's TOTALLY serious, which is mind boggling. Having watched this first, I was almost in tears laughing when putting together the Precious Bros thing.

     

    I'm so glad at least these Mr Blow bits got to be heard.
