Episode 154 - Brandon Wardell, Our Close Friend

[Joe Lerini 7329]

Super stoked for HH and WWE Smackdown Live tonight! Another great day of television!

 

I tape a pic of Hayes and Sean to my TV while I listen to the pod, so it counts.

[JensArneson 36]

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!

 

I subbed on itunes, downloaded the ep on my phone with Howl, and went ahead and listened to it at work (the tv hospital) on soundcloud.

 

And yeah, Natalie's a REAL piece of work; Sean bein on that submersible had me thinking about those frontal torpedoes somethin fierce!

 

Dips in for Harambe,

 

Actually Zach Braff

Only just now got around to listening to this ep. I couldn't do this earlier because my mean mum and dad made me get a job but they don't let you download or listen to podcasts during the job and instead make you do training so you can do the job the way they want you to do it but the training person isn't even there today so you do pointless busy-work and when you are filling some stuff away you cut your finger open on a cardboard box somehow and you think maybe you should just quit the job but you're really afraid of disappointing your parents that have supported you and maybe you should settle down and heck maybe it'll just be for a year or so and next year when you have some more savings you can move to the big city but you're not sure the big city is where you want to be either and so you think you should express all these conflicting feelings but you're having trouble doing so so you think you should just write it all down in a stream of conscience post on the Hollywood Handbook forums but you make an odd choice to make it all one sentence and you don't reread before posting to see if your post contains any sort of through-line or point or indeed is even readable

 

5star ep!

beautiful!

[Sam. 480]

You are all wonderful.

[Charlie Murphy Brown 4977]

What a fabulous ep, Brandon was tremendous! He dropped some real gold there in between H&S bussing his shit up all over the place. An absolute clinic on being excellent podcast guest. thanks for another classic!

 

You are all wonderful.

 

Sam you are all wonderful too

[Spunky Foonerism 8561]

You are all wonderful.

I won't believe you mean it until you give a specific reason each forum member is wonderful. Here's an easy one to get you rolling: start with me.

[Shrek & Donkey Kong 4336]

Somehow, my insanely high hopes for this ep were not only met but surpassed.

 

Amazing ep, the Get Up On This spoof (attack) was hilarious.

 

Also I think Brandon is the only guest that would know about Kanye's love for Akira (obviously a seminal animu and engineer Sam was doing a joke by saying deep cut)

hey, pst, sam, he loves it when we bring up one of his two almost identical "miller's crossing" parts (but only mention the one he thought he acted well in! if you mention "the other one" he's gonna be furious!):

Hear, hear! While the guest was a real giggle-P ("gigglepuss"), I like sometimes having guest who laugh because it make me feel like he Enjoyz the Boyz as much as I do, which is a lot. It also sounds like Mr. Wardell's infectious laughter was transmitted to Hayes as the show went on (though there's an outside chance said infection came from Hayes's few remaining ticks and fleas )

[honlads 8798]

Chopped and screwed giggles are an odd choice at the best of times but with the right beat this ep could go platinum

[beeface 1804]

i like to stifle my laughter in solidarity with the boys, and also laugh in a way that's painful to do when hayes does it

 

i've also been loving hayes' new catchphrase, "KEVIN"!

[Johnny Depp 54]

I like Brandon's laugh. Very sensual.

[Fabio's Socks 1822]

Brandon laughs like Taylor from Survivor, who is also confirmed to be a Millennial. Coincidence? Sure, coincidences happen all the time

[AndrewGoll 1211]

I like Brandon's laugh. Very sensual.

 

Look, Brandon's posting on the forums. A rare thing.

 

That laugh is one of a kind and it was great to hear a guest who was clearly excited to be with the boys! Great job Brandon. You made my week.

Brandon's laugh was very nice and not at all scary and didn't remind me of a JIGSAW at all. You can really tell he is a sweetie.

[GregCoburn 1]

Sean & Hayes amazing despite this fucking goofus' best efforts.

 

 

There's just no reason for any human man to laugh like that.

[souprman 10477]

UPDATE: shley isn't as into Brandon as she used to be but she still thinks he has potential to grow and is generally a good boy.

Amazing foruming so far despite JamesCoburn's posts

On my second listen, I'm really impressed at how well Hayes is able to pronounce the tricky phrase "vriral marketing."
