  1. I was going for that "Louisiana noir" style.

     

    Edit: If I'd been away from my computer I might never have learned that Elmore Leonard was born in New Orleans, and we'd all be dumber for it.

     

    This is a good Louisiana noir:

     

     

    It's not exactly a noir, but it uses a noir style and structure to tell a different kind of story. If you ever get the chance to see it, I highly recommend it.

  2. Clunk!

    The sound of the toast popping up in the toaster woke Cindy from her daydream. She gently pinched the toast with her thumb and forefinger and quickly transferred it to her plate before her fingers were burned. She stared down at her knife as she slowly spread the butter on her toast. This was another rough morning before another boring day at work. Cindy didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to be reminded that she was a secretary. She didn't want to think of her cubicle under the blinding florescent lights in her huge corporate office building. Her mind was elsewhere.

     

    She sat down at her kitchen table with her toast. Her cat, also named Cindy, circled her legs beneath the table. Cindy bent down and gently scratched Cindy's head. She inherited this cat from a former coworker who moved, but she couldn't bare to change her name. It felt wrong somehow. As she ate her toast, Cindy thought of the previous weekend and how thrilling it had all been. Without much thought, on Friday after work, Cindy had packed a bag, asked a neighbor to feed Cindy, and jumped in her car. She drove all night until she couldn't drive anymore. She found herself in Austin, Texas in a bar, dancing her past life away. She went home with a nice man that night. Happy for a place to stay and some sweet loving. The next day she saw the sights, rode horseback, ate some good barbecue, saw a few bands play, and went home with a different man. Early Sunday morning she crept out of this stranger's house before he woke up, got back in her car, and headed home.

     

    But now it was Monday morning again. The adventure was over. And the florescent lights were calling her.

  3. Hearing rumors that the Popcorn Gallery song is bad? Not sure what to do. Was going to do segment but maybe not? Guess we should see if we get any questions. Guest is Cooper Nanjiani.

     

    Dear Kumail,

    1. How is it working with your wife? Do you ever start kissing at work or tell jokes in the bedroom?

    2. What was the first video game you ever played?

    3. What's the best thing about Bagel the cat?

    I don't think it's necessary because everyone is welcome to come to the hangouts/be on the forums and stuff. As far as I'm concerned it's the more the merrier.

     

    Also, anything that seems like an inside joke is actually really stupid. The good kind of stupid, but still unbelievably dumb.

     

    The only people who deserve credit or any kind of deference are Sean and Hayes because of the podcast.

     

    ...and Greggy. That's self-explanatory.

     

    ...and Joe McGurl. bc #1 handsome boy

     

    ...and Anastasia. For being the forum's mama-bear.

     

    ...and Veebs for being the OG OG and probably the funniest person on here.

     

    As Hayes pointed out, Veebs commented on the first RSS episode. She is our Eve.

  5. Handbook heads, it is I, the lonious of junk. I have had a long absence of bringing you hilarious posts for 2 main reasons. Firstly, I created a computer program to invent the perfect girlfriend and incidentally lightening struck my house simultaneously and made her reality. secondly, I adopted a plant that is called Fernast T. Bass goes to jail. what has been happening? was there any talk of my possible death? why was no one at else at wolfman jack's wake? I am starting a podcast to air within the next couple of weeks, who is with me? I need call in guests and you are the funniest people I know. Except for anyone who started posting, post me posting. But that's negotiable because i can make fun of how inept and unoriginal you are.

     

    Happy Bday to Kevin Kob, I'd make a joke but that would just be corny...

     

    Welcome back. I'll call into your podcast. I have a small amount of experience. Btw, I do snus now.

  6. Feud Feud Feud Feud Feud!

    I like a good HH forum feud! The Treese/McGurl feud was getting a little stale, so I'm glad American Diaper stirred things up. Knowing that Tim made that song, I suspect he made that rude jab because we were getting too lovey in here.

     

    PS - I love you guys. You're the best and you make me want to be a better person.

     

    PPS - Fight Fight Fight!

  7. Another great Whooch. I too was surprised that John has two kids. Probably because he is so good at playing an irresponsible Bevers type. But I do wish he were my dad. I bet his kids will have a creative and unique view on the world with all of that false information he probably feeds them.

  8.  

    Bonus XP for listening to this week. Hayes and Sean interview two guys fresh out of Portlandia who say they're feminist. Pretty offense and actually not a real thing that can occur.

     

    It took me two 50 dollar bills to light my grandfather's 28 dollar cigar when I kept looking at the hovering speaker drone in his other apple orchard and laughing at how quiet the Gilmore Group plus I also liked when Hayes and Sean did jokes about long running popular and well known TV shows like CSI, Oscar.

     

    I don't even know what you're talking about, kid, but you seem special. Shine on you crazy diamond!

  9. I know you all have been waiting...

     

    As always, here are my notes:

    1.) Kevin and Demi seem very sweet and friendly and I think people like to hear friends being friends on a podcast.

     

    2.) I listened to Gilmore Guys first because Sean was on there, but now I like it as I have seen all of Gilmore Girls and these fellas bring up some good points. I used to love Jess, but now I see how horrible he is thanks to Kevin. Rory really never got a very good love interest. She mostly liked a-hole douchebats.

     

    3.) Sean and Hayes are looking very fresh faced and handsome. I get the feeling that they are on the same shaving schedule. They always have a beard at the same time. Do they shave together in the same location? Or do they just call each other to coordinate when they will shave and when they will grow?

     

    4.) Congratulations greggy. I was really pulling for you and I’m glad they gave a pro version, even if it was just for the Psych podcast. It’s odd that they have run out of names for the pro version and yet there are so many new people on here. Start buying people!

     

    5.) I don’t like when Sean and Hayes fight. I prefer when they make kissy and love each other.

     

    6.) Was Hayes in the hospital? He has what looks like a hospital band on his right wrist. Plus he sounds a little stuffed up. You doing ok, buddy?

     

    7.) Sean “I don’t order it because I have the whole macrobiotic…” Hayes: “Oh yeah I know. That’s another reason why I thought it was strange because it doesn’t have as big biotics as you..”

     

    Additional note: I love that Sean and Hayes haven't seen any of these Oscar movies and don't know who any of these people are (except Meryl Streep).
