Episode 1 — No Homo

[admin 330]

Welcome to the first episode of Owen & TJ Read The News! Every month Owen Burke (Funny or Die) and TJ (Adam McKay) read the news and get into the culture of Jacksonville, a.k.a J-Ville. On their first episode they discuss the looming fiscal cliff, Papa John’s raising their prices due to Obamacare, and the Hostess bankruptcy.

Do people really still say "no homo"? I remember hearing that back in 2007 and thinking it sounded goofy, that stood up to the test of time?

I'm in the market for a new phone case. These sound pretty sweet, where can I get one. No homo, of course.

It's largely been replaced by the phrase 'pause', but some dudes still use it.

I highly enjoyed the show and look forward to more!

 

More Adam McKay is always a good thing.

Yes sadly most of my neighbors still use that phrase quite a lot, it is very depressing.

 

On another note I enjoyed the show and look forward to more.

Glad I gave this a listen, I was dying the whole show! Too funny.

[JacobCrites 4977]

Finally listened today.

Pure genius. The scary thing is that McKay's character is completely realistic. I've met countless idiots like that.

 

Amazing show, and I can't wait for the next one.

A perfect characterization of white trash! I'll point my northern buddies to this podcast as to one of the reasons why you don't to live in J-ville or FLA

I found this offensive. I have high standards.

Southerners are stupid. Ha ha ha.

 

"No homo" jokes are real timely.

 

I lasted less than 10 minutes.

You have to listen to more than 10 minutes.

Once they start to develop TJ as a character it gets incredible.

Also, no homo is still a thing, unfortunately.

[MountAquaFresca 1]

Great stuff. I'm looking forward to more. (No homo of course.)

no homo and nappy dugout? wow maybe u should but a rap album made in the last 15 years, that way the material could get freshened up. you sound more like a square middle aged...oh wait a minute...

Just listened to this, funny stuff.

 

I love that the main gripe people have is that the slang isn't contemporary enough, haha. I don't know why that even matters, it's a character.
