Episode 143 - Showrunners Panel, Our Major Event

[Spunky Foonerism 8561]

 

This is my dog Hurricane Dennis. Don't worry, he's alive. He was just sleeping on the floor in a goofy way, and when I got close to take the picture, he opened his eyes real wide.

Just to be clear I left Dom out until Sean gives him permission

[Hairdude in the avatar 26]

Now, this is why I registered on the forums.

 

As a sidenote, who's the little hottie next to the Indian butler and the stern-dad-clipart?

[piemanpie24 1119]

It's good to hear "What up, what up" again. I missed folks saying that. Made me happy.

[chanson 9697]

I haven't listened yet, but I have some very controversial opinions about Pokemon Go I would like to share with all of you if that's okay.

 

It's good and I like it and I play it and I'm gonna catch some more.

[Houston 4819]

The episode was ok, but I feel like Sean lifted at least 7% of his dweebdork character from my person life and I am furious.

[Jakal 4475]

Im hungry

[piemanpie24 1119]

Im hungry

You not eat today? Get some grub in that chomper, bro.

[mikebonetti 3718]

Delightful ep! And can someone get Jack something to eat?

[Lexfor 691]

I enjoyed this episode.

[beezyharps 125]

Patty Walsh back on Hollywood Handbook? FEELIN IT! (That's right. I made a fucking You Made It Weird reference on HH forums. I ain't scared of any podcast wars. (for real though can we get Pete Holmes back on HH. Would love to hear Sean really come at him for how dangerous and evil religion can actually be. (After all religion has been responsible for most of the wars in this world. The number one killer!)))

[JoeyDubuc 24]

I've been chortling about "empty computer" since I heard it. Every hour, every day.

[Andy Dick Cheney 3779]

Im hungry

 

I JUST fed you for fucks sake.

 

Nothing more until you finish your homework.

[souprman 10477]

 

this is a an actual picture of Jackal's house. I always love my drive thru visits to his place.

[Jack Johnson P.I. 3649]

FEELIN IT! (That's right. I made a fucking You Made It Weird reference on HH forums)

I really wanted to point out to you that it's actually just a SBS reference but instead of making you feel so bad and ignorant I'm gonna just keep positive.

Hallelujah, I just read this article and felt overwhelmed with relief that none of my fellow forumers would ever be eaten by lions

The low-cost strategy will see intimidating eyes painted onto the rumps of cattle that graze near wildlife areas and are preyed upon by lions. The idea is that the eyes will trick the lions into thinking they’ve been spotted, causing them to abandon the hunt.

 

[AlienDingus 264]

I love me some Brett participation.

[SteveH 11126]

this pat walsh is giving me an average of 6.9 yucks per minute

[JMonsterface 1974]

So Brett officially entered the HH world through a bizarre and cartoonish sledding accident. He loves to pretend, but to the point that he doesn't seem to have much of a grasp on reality and is possibly mentally ill.

 

I think Brett might be grown-up Calvin.

 

[AnnieMcfadden 943]

When is pistachio disguisey going to be a guest on the show?

[JMonsterface 1974]

Well, he was on CBB recently so this might be a real possibility!

[SpencerPearson 159]

I'm into this.

[Fabio's Socks 1822]

Welcome to Mel 'Socks' Kiper's 2016 Dream Writer's Room Draft Grades!

 

The excitement of the draft has come and gone, but now it's time to assign completely-informed, legally-binding and totally arbitrary grades to each person's draft class.

 

Pat Walsh: D-

Pat's draft philosophy showed little logic and even worse execution. It's not that Kevin Smith was a bad first-rounder (though he doesn't have the sparkle of a typical #1 overall pick). It's that the next two choices (Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino) were entirely redundant: old white dudes who write stuff. Pat seemed to care less about assembling a functioning team and more about surrounding himself with his twisted version of eye candy. This draft class is less "2 Broke Girls" and more "3 Useless Draft Picks."

 

Kevin Etten: B+

Count the Teck Money pick as good fortune. He was the #1 player on my draft board and was somehow available at 2 thanks to some draft-day overthinking. Kevin gets credit for diversity, snagging Laura CK (#4 on my Big Board) all the way down at 10. Dom Dierkes is a bit of a risk, though, as it appears Sean may veto the selection - that bumps Etten down from an A into solid "B" range.

 

Hayes Davenport: A

The Hayesman brought a lot of color and unpredictability to the lineup with the selections of baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs and '90s film star Cousin Vinny. Sure, there's some risk to both picks, but as Boggs could tell you, you don't hit homeruns without occasionally swinging for the fences. It's also noteworthy that Hayes didn't choose his on-again, off-again coworker Tom Scharpling, who was publicly campaigning all month to be drafted by Hayes.

 

Sean Clements: A-

Sean gets tons of credit for thinking outside the box to get Pizzazz, who I rated as the top musical coordinator in the draft and one of my top 5 sleeper picks. Kelly Oxford is great value at 5 and fits roster needs to a "T." Sean earns points for diversity, but then loses those points for single-handedly filling the staff's entire quota of women with his first two picks. It's also questionable that Sean passed up Kevin Chopsner, as the one thing this roster still sorely needs is chops, preferably for days.

 

Brett Morris: A++

The shocking star of the draft is Engineer Brett, who only had one pick, and that being #11, the very last selection. But 'Mr. Irrelevant' is actually quite relevant this time around. Brett shredded his pick like a Hendrix guitar solo, taking a bonobo, which fills the roster's animal quota and serves as some great native advertising for bonobos.com. It's said that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will inevitably produce the complete works of William Shakespeare. Well Engineer Brett is now just a typewriter and an infinite amount of time away from having his very own modern bard on staff. The best part? The bonobo is on an extremely team-friendly contract, essentially working for peanuts.

funny they should mention the "real world", because this, was a "real" nice episode
