Hello and welcome to the third annual, How Did This Get Made Howdy Awards? Join us as we present the finest moments from the last nine years of the How did This Get Made podcast. So brace yourselves and welcome your hosts for this star-studded event. Tall John Shear, Jason Manzoukis, and June Diane Raphael. Hello, people of earth, and welcome to the third annual Howdy Awards. I am joined, as always, by my two amazing co-os. Jason, June, how are you? Great to be back nine years later.

Thrilled to be here, but I'm so sorry. Did you say the third annual? Yes. The third annual howdies? Yes, so we've been doing, how did this get made for 15 years, and this is the third annual howdies where we round up the best of the year. Okay, but the annual suggests, yes, best of the year like you just said, Paul, but we've been doing the podcast for 15 years. So we miss like maybe one or two. I think we've missed quite a, you know what, I'm not going to

poke too many holes in this. I'm wearing my tuxedo. I couldn't be more excited to be here. Listen, the pandemic, the fires. A lot of things happen. I mean, now, you know, you bring up a good point. People out there may not even understand what we're talking about because it has been so long since we have done. There's a good chance that a lot of our audience have never heard a howdies. Yeah, we haven't done this since 2016. I mean, children have been born. Oh, children are. They're probably now listening.

The stars of films. I mean, was Shalamee even alive at the first outies? I don't know. Oh, yes. I mean, who knows who amongst the geek squad was alive? When the howdies began. That's what I, I'd love to see the Venn diagram. We know Jeremy Allen White was because that motherfucker's old.

June, you haven't, we haven't talked to you about the geek squad at all. I've heard rumbling. Oh, you have. Okay. I was going to ask if you knew anything about it. Okay. No, it was like Geostorm. Like, I had to kind of put it together for myself, you know?

Isn't that fun? Yeah, it's like we have to make meaning always everywhere. And I sort of had to do that on my own from any clue I got. Just to be super quick, June, Geek Squad is to us like Brat Pack was to our generation. And these are young people who are, I mean, we're using the term Geekswad, not to imply they are geeks, but more they are the people helping old people with technology. Like, they're bringing the past and the future together, right? So it's sort of like the Geek Squad originally was helping people get like a Blu-ray player.

You know, so this is kind of what they're doing. They're helping bring entertainment to the masses. And those people are, and this is an old list potentially, Jenna Ortega, Marguerquale, Jeremy Allen White, Sidney Sweeney, Jacob Allerty, Austin Butler, Elvis. Timothy Schalleman. Elvis is a quintessential one. If you have played a boomer icon, you're in the Geek Squad. Got it.

Is there any difference between, like, is anybody at the Genius Bar or it's all that everybody's just. Oh, wow. Oh, now that's interesting. Geek Squad. I love, first of, June, welcome. Welcome, welcome to the dialogue. Welcome to the debate.

Thank you for introducing a new tier. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-boo-boo. Genius bar. In the Geek Squad, as we know them, like, they're already kind of outdated. So, like, I don't know who's next. Well, we did just so you know the lore was that the geek squad was meeting in an abandoned Best Buy because that's the only place they could kind of hang out without being,

like attack by throngs of people trying to get something from them. Wow. You've missed a lot, too. You missed a lot. I know. I know. I mean, all of this happened in, to be clear, I believe one episode. Wow.

I do feel like I miss the moments that, like, you know, matter. I miss the moments that matter. Oh, wow. That's a, what a sad thing to say at the beginning of the howdies. I know. It's not the energy that usually. kicks off in a word show. Everybody gets a t-shirt. Each of us gets to have our own t-shirt. June's right now might be, I miss the moments that matter. And you know what? So have our audience,

because we have not done this show in a very long time. 2016 was the last time that we did a howdies. And I just want to say, Paul, just like, truly, was there a reason we stopped doing the howdy? Yes. Because the reason was, at the time, Our producer, Cody, we love Cody, still with us in, you know, in the grander scheme of how did this get made. But it was so time intensive to get all these clips, find these clips. And the reason why it was even instituted in the first place at a certain point was to give us a little bit of breathing room when we had our first and second child. I believe that those two howdies were the first sets of howdies. Yes, two of the howdies were done in concordance with the birth of our children.

That I'm remembering, Paul, that I'm remembering. So I was trying not to miss moments that matter. Right. Here we are doing the third howdies. Is there something you guys would like to announce? June? Here's what I will say. Normally we would be covering just a year.

If the howdies worked, it would be the year from, January to December, that would be it. But instead, this Howdies is covering anything mentioned between episode 139, which is Sarah Michelle Geller and simply irresistible, all the way through episode 376, Sylvester Stallone's driven. So 139 to 376. It's a wide birth, a wide bird. Oh, my God.

of best of moments. So you can imagine a lot of best of moments on the floor. A lot of stuff is included in that 10-year span. Yes. And I will say keeping in tradition, no one has voted on this. We have picked the winners arbitrarily on a whim. So don't get mad. You didn't miss the voting because that would again be time intensive for us to do. Again, we don't have the time. Also, who cares? right that part too not everything listen democracy's dying everywhere like why should the howdies be any different if you're mad at the howdies unsubscribe from the podcast you've fundamentally misunderstood what we're here doing well now jason i will say though while you while you say that

with such a full voice you have still never won a howdy i have not i have not and and that please don't take that as an example of why i am i think the howdies are a corrupt or organization, much like FIFA. Yes. Wait, are we giving a peace prize to our president? Are we awarding a peace prize to the president just like the other corrupt organization known as FIFA? We are giving out an award to our president. We are also going to spend a majority of this episode railing against the Golden Globe

Organization for not nominating us for the best podcast, yes? I just heard they nominated podcasts. And not only were we not nominated, I assumed we would have already won. No, yeah, no, that's what I thought to. But no, apparently not nominated did not win. Yeah, those awards are bought and sold. Yeah. But anyway.

And if you are angry about it, go somewhere else and tell them. Don't tell us you're angry about it. Yeah, we're angry too. We couldn't afford it. We couldn't even afford interns to figure out these howdies. We had to make Scott do it. Scott working overtime for this. Molly, working overtime.

So anyway, let's get into it. First, Howdy of the Night. We have a lot to get through, obviously. First Howdy of the Night is Best Catchphrase. The nominees for Best Catchphrase are, Put Her in a Bra from Episode 162, My Stepmother is an Alien. Have you ever ripped a negligee open? No.

It was. And I just put her in a bra. By the way, she's practically, I mean, you're seeing a lot in that scene anyway. Just put her in a bra. Like, and then just have to have what she wore. Keep saying you put her in a bra, you know, weirdo. Just like put her in a bra.

Stop saying it. Stop saying it right now. Stop saying it right now. But get really specific. You know, like, why that next day? Like, just like a black lazy bra, you know, real fancy, black lazy. Just throw her in a bra. Can we get word?

over here with some bra options. We're gonna put her in it. Put her in it. Put her in a bra. Put her in a bra. Put her. I like what you said throw her in it. That was more final.

I'm just gonna chuck her in a bra. First of all. Just put her right in it. That's a t-shirt. Put her in a bra. Put her in a bra. It's a new get her done. Put her in a bra. Put her in a bra.

That's just a great thing to end sentences. And I told him to fuck up, put her in a bra. $90 for cable, put her in a bra. Hey, use your blinker asshole, put her in a bra. I don't need four gelato shops on my block. Put her in a bra. Geo Storm. From episode 186, GeoStorm.

I love this movie I love Geostorm Geostorm This is It's a great movie Especially Geostorm I would like for that to become a thing

Oh I would like for people to just start screaming Geostorm in public And then not answering questions As to why you did it I feel like the proper response would be to yell back kumate. I feel like that would be the call and response. Perhaps.

We are very excited to bring, I think, one of our favorite people on the show. Speak for yourself. Please welcome Jessica St. Clair! Welcome, Jessica. Thank you. So exciting to have you here. and to put you through this. Yep, well, the only thing that makes me more sick

than a post-apocalyptic future movie is one about a natural disaster. That takes place in the future. That's right. One year in the future, right? Uh-oh. Geo Storm! I say Gio, you say storm.

Gio! Storm! That's great. Where does the butt start? From episode 140, Manikin 2 on the move. We have lost our minds. We are just passing around a computer looking at naked dolls for sale on eBay. Guys, what is it happening?

There is a cleft there. Yeah, I see it. Nothing's there. There is completely smooth. There's a little camel type. There's a cloven. There's a suggestion of an opening. There's a hint of lift.

Well, because our butt has to start. Yeah. Her butt has to start. Where does that's it? That brings up a good question. That brings up a good question. That brings up a question. Where does the butt start, Paul?

Well, I'm saying you're at the tape, dude. Where does the butt start? Do me a favor. Look up naked Barbie ass or butt. Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I can't. All right. So this is a naked Barbie butt Right here. And then there you go. That's shit. Okay.

That is genitals. And it goes underneath. You see, it goes in between. Oh, my God. What? But that's the same thing. The Ken was an old one that had that underwear.

Yeah. We were going to be putting on it out of it. Guys, what is this is. Guys, I love that this is where this is where this podcast. This is gone. You guys need a how did this get made t-shirt that's just a Barbie crotch. Yep. And it says where does the butt start?

How did this get made? Where does the butt start? Well, here's a comparison. Oh, this is interesting. This is interesting. 90s Barbie has underwear. Really? But 2000s Barbie doesn't.

What about earlier than 90s? That's like that's the same as pubic. That's true, Paul. That's the same as pubic here. Because 90s Barbie had a landing strip in 2000s, Barbie had nothing. Oh, my gosh. Oh, boy. This is pretty great.

I love it all. Well, I think we've talked about everything in this movie that, oh, I did want to say. So when the bad guy is now re-put-back together, like, I love it. We're not going to recover from this. We're never going to recover. This is what this show is about. Fuck the moon from episode 294, moonfall. What's up, jerks?

Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. That's what I'm talking about, L.A. Oh.

When every time they showed the space shuttle said, fuck the moon, I was like, this is the best. Wow. I mean, these are all bangers. These are all bangers. Really? I mean, when you look at back, it's like Manikin 2 on the move. I believe we were still in the Earwolf Studios for that one. Oh, I guess for sure, with Aegee. I remember. Gosh. See, I'm getting a little confused because where does the butt start? It sort of reminds me of when Paul had to draw out the picture of the sex pillow. Yes, that's a different night. Yeah, we looked it up.

I think we looked it up online. We were looking at pictures of Barbies online or something. That's right. So we don't know where the butt starts. I mean, put her in a bra, so good, so funny. Geostorm, though, to me, has taken over. People yell it to me just recently in New York. Multiple people yelled it to me on the street.

It is so, it looms so large. Gerard Butler yelled Geostormt us. It's kind of the name of the podcast. in many ways. And maybe we should have submitted that for a Golden Globe. It's blowing my mind that three of the Howdy eligible catchphrases all came within the same 40 episodes. Episode 140, episode 162, and episode 186. Wow, what a time.

So they're all, what a fertile era of the podcast. Yeah. The golden age of how did this get made? If we were to have gone all the way to contemporary, current time, I do think brace yourself would be in the mix. But I appreciate that we don't chase it. It happens. It happens organically.

We don't chase it. We brace it. Well, it's also like I just don't, I don't want us moving forward to start pandering to the howdies. Right. We don't want to be creating catchphrases, Willie, really. I want us to be, you know, just really rigorous and really have each of us have our own standards. Like, it's not about the howdies. Now, look, we don't know what the arbitrary win will be here.

Obviously, we all believe it's Geostorm. I never said I did. Okay. June, would you like to guess? You know, I have a special place in my heart for where does the butt start? Because what I want us to remember about it is that it was said it wasn't delivered as a joke. Got it. It was in the spirit of inquiry.

Yeah. where he was trying to really understand the anatomy of the mannequin and where the butt started. It's also for me, one of the very, I remember very memorable times when the entire podcast stopped down for minutes so that we could just laugh. We just, this caught us and tickled us so much where does the butt start that it was, as did put her in abroad, to be honest. two things that were said that were seized upon and just excavated until we were just dying laughing because I think the problem with I don't know if we ever came to a conclusion of like where does the butt start we I don't think we have that start below yeah does it depend where you are when you're looking at I'm gonna I feel like it's the kind of thing that we need to

the mistake we made was going to the internet I feel like we need to to consult like a medical textbook. I mean, we will see, but again, it may be all for not because we don't know who the winner is, but I will open up this fake envelope now and say that the howdy for best catchphrase goes to, oh my

gosh, where does the butt start from episode 140 Manikin 2 on the move? Wow. There it is. Special guest Steve Agee on the episode from Peacemaker. Yes, and you know I was the one, you're right, that

to wonder where the butt starts, I still don't know. And because you just brought this up... Wait, wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do you have to say that you were the one to wonder where does the... I'm just saying that I'm... Why do you need to credit? Like, where does the butt start?

One, I'm just throwing this howdy in the sack. So why do you have to take it personally? I'm throwing it in my, I'm throwing it in my sack of, of howdies. I just want to, if we're keeping track at home, I'm throwing one in this way. Why do you have all the old howdies at this howdies? You know, I just bring them all out because. because it's nice because if I get on the stage at the end. For the listener, Paul has produced his howdy sack, which we all have one.

Well, yeah, yours is empty. Mine is empty as it always is, and yours still has all the old howdies in it. I mean, June did not want me to bring them to the next place that we moved to after we had our children, and I brought them taking up a lot of room next to my Christmas village. The howdies are huge. What a lot of people don't know is the howdy statue is quite large. Yeah, because we only do it a couple times. Like we really needed to make an impact one way to do.

And look, I don't want to take anything away from my win here, but I'm going to think of another one that didn't take on, but should have maybe been a very important catchphrase. Alan, remember Alan? No. No. You guys don't remember Alan? Who was it a character?

Remember in Ireland? They kept on yelling out Alan? Oh, I do. That's not a catch phrase. That's not a catch phrase. That's not a catchphrase. All right. Well, anyway, I can't go back.

We've already got the winner from episode 140. That's a good one. I hesitate to say that. Well, hold on, but here's a thing. You both just asked, a very important question. Where does the butt start? So we, here at how to this get made, we used our hard-earned money that we did not use to bribe the people of the Golden Globe organization. We used $9 of our money.

An organization that until very recently was incredibly bribeable. Oh, very bribable. But you know what? We took our $9. That's what Sirius gave us to produce. special. We took that full $9 and we gave it to a doctor on cameo to

answer the question, where does the butt start? Finally. Hey, Paul, June, Jason. So the question is where does the butt start? The problem is the butt

is not an anatomic term. Oh boy. I already know it's going to be disappointed. That's why there's confusion about this. It's a bit nebulous. but if you want an anatomic definition as you're working down the torso, it would start at the origin of the gluteus maximus. Why is he so put out by this? Now Google image that, anatomy of the gluteal region, and you'll see where the butt starts. Hope that answers your question.

Take care. Have a great day. Hope you have a remaining week filled with fluids and secretions. What? All untainted by human pathogens. Oh, God. Oh, well, I mean, I guess the, I appreciate those well wishes, but, uh, I'm, I'm even more confused to be quite honest. I am too.

And I feel like we must have doctors, mustn't there be doctors who are listeners and, and not just absolute lunatics, uh, who are our listeners? We paid him $9. I want to have a little bit more of a smile on his face for that answer. Yeah, please weigh in fans of the podcast who are doctors, in fact, who might. Yeah. I feel like he gave us an anatomical word and said Google Imbitious. He just, and he said gluteous region. Here, I just did a quick Google and I got an answer.

What did you get? What do you got? Your butt starts at the pelvis. Wow. Hang on. We should have paid you $9. That's a better answer if you just said that. Your butt starts at the pelvis from the bones, your coxics.

Well, no, now I just Googled at June and it said the butt starts at the Iliac crest, the top of the hip bone. Oh, well, then maybe this is like, I don't know. These are the topics that we are getting into here at the howdies. Now, perhaps you're thinking you're still only awarding the first howdy. If every howdy takes as long as this one has taken, we're going to be your tremendous amount of time. Don't go anywhere because after the break, we'll find out whose howdy sack will be filled with the awards for Most Bonkers Flying Entity

and June's Most Savage Dislike. Be right back. All right. So let's move it on. Let's move it on. Category 2 is Most Bonkers Flying Entity. And the nominees are

The Face in the Hurricane from episode 190, the hurricane heist. But what makes this movie stand out more than anything in any movie they've ever seen in a movie of this caliber is in the opening sequence when the boys are running away from the hurricane.

The house, the roof is ripped off and what do we see? A fulking face of death skeleton in the clouds. The hurricane is personified as evil. Holy shit. more of that please

that was a promise that went undelivered you know although the face does reappear at the end of the movie but I was like ooh sentient storm don't mind if I do the face in the clouds had more

acting range than the faces of some of the people in this movie who will remain unnamed because I don't remember their names. What was really strange was that, so the face appears

the first time over a terrible tragedy where these two boys watch their father. Get run over by a silo. Yeah. I mean, the poor guy. Get run over by a silo in the middle of a cat. The poor guy can't

even go out like a hero trying to like fix his truck or whatever. He has to get run over by a rolling silo. It would have been... Like he's some ball of dough. And it's the rolling pin. It was horrible. He should have been, like, trying to help the boys

and then get sucked up into the hurricane. I love it. Face. But what's so strange is, so that face appears when the dad gets run over. And then... But it appears again. Not when...

I'm just pulling up the face. Don't worry about. At the end, you mean? At the end, but not in really a critical moment. It appears after all is, I think, all is well and good. And they're just sort of driving away. It's almost like the face is like, you got me. Yeah.

That was the energy of like... First time I got you, this time you got me. Dominic Torretto's rope-swinging Dodge Charger from episode 271, F9, the Fast Saga. That move where Dom, the bridge is out and Dom drives at the out bridge. Okay, that. And manages to hook a cable against the car and swing the car across the chasm and kind of like it swings and lands on the other side of the chasm in another country, in a safe country on, like, and they survive effortlessly. Wait, is that the same sequence, though? is that the bridge sequence?

Because then there's the other... The other car that drives straight up the bridge? Yeah. Yes. Straight up from below. Yes. Same sequence, though. They hit the bridge.

Tyrese hits the bridge as it's falling apart like Indiana Jones Temple of Doomstile. And they're getting across it. But by the time they get to the other edge, most of the bridge is falling down. But they were able to defy gravity and we're going to just drive up the same. And he... Vin Diesel sees this as he's rushed... driving towards it and you see him realize, oh, I know what I'll do. And he does what Jason just

described. And it's absolutely insane and makes zero sense. And he's shifting, he's shifting a little bit in there too, like not his body, but like literally the car shifter. And when that car jumps on the bottom ledge of that other mountain on the other side, it flips, boom, boom, boom, boom, doesn't explode like the dad's car. They're not wearing seatbelts. They're not wearing seatbelts. the car like flip flip flip flip all the windows are broken and when you look in the inside dom and letty look like they are ready to go out on the night on the town there's not a not a mark on them not they are not a scratch jonathan livingston seagull from episode 328 jonathan livingston seagull how does jonathan know anything about miles per hour

yes great question Not only, how does he know? My first standing ovation for an observation. Not only that, but he knows innately the speed he's going. Why can I fly faster than 62 miles an hour? He gets, he says he wants to achieve perfect speed. Which I was like this. I feel like Jonathan Livingston Seagull is going to be the next cast member of the Fast and Furious movies.

Put him in. Put him in. I would have loved it. If you had a little gnaws button, come on, boom, boom. It's so hard, too, because we're hearing those words, but when we're cutting to the close-ups of the seagulls, the... They're the least expressive animal you could cast. There's nothing going on behind the eyes.

There's no need for speed. Q the winged serpent. From episode 358, cue the winged serpent. And listen, Q is a winged serpent, and I'm certain, and it's seemingly immortal, I'm not sure. But to find out what a serpent is. To have the ability to swoop in, like having that much momentum. Wingspan, too. Yes, that much momentum, that much weight to come in by just his head off.

It is so delicate. It's surgical. It is so delicate. Q the Winged Serpent isn't interested in eating your whole body. Yeah. Although there are times where he'll just pick up. a motherfucker up and fly away.

I was so excited when he finally grabbed somebody in his claw. I'm like, you got the claws, use them. Oh, it's the guy in the pool.

It's the guy in the pool I think is the first claw grab. There are a couple times in the movie. Like, yes, he does pick up. Oh, in all of its glory. Oh. I really don't like seeing

that big muscle over there. It looks like, I'll be honest, a thin dick. I was going to say it looks like it looks like someone, The winged serpent looks like someone who ate a tootsie roll And then tried to make it like a dick And it's like, but it's like, I wish you were a little bit more talented

I got to tell you I don't remember a single one of these Except for the Seagull, obviously Yeah, Jonathan Livingston Seagull was, I will say, a really And that's episode 328, you know, as opposed to the last category A lot of these are from recent episodes Or more recent. June, I'm surprised. you don't remember cue the winged serpent as

this was a movie that gave you a real shock and scare. You got scared from a kite in that movie just like one of the actor, you know, like the cue the wing and serpent definitely scared you. For me, the face in the hurricane and Hurricane Ice was

very interesting because it's a movie about a hurricane, but then all of a sudden we've, you know, Anthropomorphized it, like, and made it human. That was odd. I remember that. That seemed crazy. I agree. That seemed crazy, but the experience, just from the experiential level, doing the Jonathan Livingston Seagull show to easily, easily the most combative audience we've ever performed to, that audience was furious that they had watched this. But by the way, I did not begrudge them that, that

reaction. Me neither. I was also furious, and I was a host. So it's like we were all locked in a hostage situation. Yeah, right. So, and we were all together and we were all mad at each other and turning on each other. Yeah. Yeah, it felt it was a, it was that episode was very energized. Yeah. Everything, it felt like every, it feels like every time we go back to New York, we are somehow either reigniting or trying to cool down the temperatures that New York still feels for having.

been put through this. And yes, Giorgio. I honestly think what we might need is some sort of a, separate from the podcast, to be quite honest, some sort of a healing, sort of sacred saging. I don't know what. Wow. But it does feel like a lot is sort of unsettled. You know what we, I think we should probably do.

Maybe next time we're in New York, we should sacrifice a seagull. You know what? We should sacrifice a seagull. On stage, we should drink of its blood. A willing Siegel. You know, we did play, when you were not there, June, but we did kind of goose the audience a little bit by playing a clip that Averallie made for us about Jonathan Livingston Segal. And it did irritate them again in New York just very recently. We are definitely putting our fingers in that wound.

You know, we are going to, you know, I don't know. I don't know if I want to give it. We're fingering your wound, New York. Is that a catchphrase? Is that a catchphrase? All right, let's see what the winner is. The howdy for the most bonkers flying entity goes to, oh my gosh, Jonathan Livingston Segal from episode 328.

And, oh my gosh, this is actually very exciting. This is not a category I won. No, Jonathan Livingston Segal won it. And we actually have Jonathan Livingston Segal here. Jonathan, take it away. There we go. Wow. I mean, you know what we need?

And this is just because I don't need to listen to Seagulls talk like that all day. We need music to play the winners off. Yeah, we do. You know, thank you, Jonathan. You could take that, put that in your sack. It's the last one you're going to. going to get. Um, now this next category is, uh, near and dear to my heart. It is a howdy for June's most savage dislike. And the nominees are breakdancing from episode 188 body rock.

I'm going to say something that's going to be really harsh. But whenever I see someone breakdancing, I feel embarrassed for them. I do. Did you feel embarrassed for that breakdancer I just showed you? Wow. Did you feel embarrassed for that break? No, I don't define what he was doing as breakdancing. Okay, what is he doing? I define breakdancing as like getting on the floor like a turtle.

Like you're a turtle that can't flip over and just spinning around. So you equate breakdancing. You equate breakdancing with helplessness? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I'm stuck down here. I can't turn over. I want to make this clear. It's not that I don't, you know, I'm not someone who loves, like, high art and ballet and all that stuff. Like, this, I see where this is going. And I want to dispel that myth right away.

Like, there's, I love where breakdancing came from and all that. I just, I find it unpleasant to watch. I don't think you can judge it. How is you're breaking in season two? It's not very good. And that's where I want to say that when you try to learn stuff like this, then you realize the value because it's very difficult. So just because something is difficult doesn't mean that it's good. Men who drink tea from episode 255, a very nutty Christmas.

Well, I will tell you, Jessica, I also, I don't like a man who drinks tea. Me neither. Sorry, Jason. I don't. I don't want to see a man drinking tea. I don't. I don't. I want a man sitting a black cup of coffee.

So, June, but at night. But no, you get angry at me when I drink a black cup of coffee. You don't know, because you already have too much energy. I'm sorry, June. I don't want to hear the word sleepy time. I don't want to hear the question. So June, you think hot beverages are gendered. Yeah.

Coffee is. Coffee is to juice. Coffee is boys, tea is girls. For me, as a heterosexual woman, I'm sure, like, I don't think it's about gender necessarily, but I don't want to see my partner drinking tea. Oh, interesting. I as a heterosexual woman, I don't want to see a man drinking tea. Here's what I'll say. Respect yourself. I don't want to see. Here's what I'll say. I am so comfortable in my sexuality that I will crush.

Okay. Here, I'll show you. Oh, my gosh. You're going to make him drink tea on camera. Listen, I've done live shows of Jesus. I've seen him drink a cup of tea before. Soothing caramel bedstime. Wow. Take an ambian, like a real man.

Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Kates' sexual awakening from episode 219, drop dead Fred. She is sexually repressed. Yes. Phoebe Kates as a grown woman is sexually repressed. Yes. So she never touched his dick. I think she's touched his dick.

Because he's like, oh, By the way, Paul, is that your definition of a woman coming to? What is happening? What is happening? What is happening? What are we doing? What is this? What are we doing?

But Paul, just leave. This is irresponsible. This is outrageous. I'm so disturbed that you just said that. We can't live like this. What I was saying was Fred seemed so shocked at seeing a penis. But Paul, no, what you're saying, what you just said, is that... Yes, Jude!

What you just said... said and implied is that for her to be fully sexually awake in her own body, the only way we would know that is if she touched a dick or not? Yes! No, no, no. You can go fuck yourself, my friend.

Team friend. Team friend. Wow. Wow. Wow. Do you remember any of that, you know? I do. I don't I do remember that. I do remember that. I do remember that. And looking back, you know, by the way, I'm not, I'm not afraid to evolve. I love that.

You know, the way I felt in some of these moments may not be the way I feel now in terms of breakdancing, in terms of men, especially men who drink tea. I've come around on. Okay. Oh, interesting. But I absolutely 100% today feel the same way about what Paul said about Phoebe Cates. I agree. I feel the same way today as I did on that day. It's not anger.

And I support you just as much today as I did that. Wow. Thanks, Jason. I will always have your back on this. And I feel like here's what I'm saying. I'm willing to say to you, Paul. Yes, please. Get fucked, buddy.

Wow. Okay, okay, okay. This is, I feel like Drop Dead Fred is an episode that we should, is maybe the only movie we should ever redo. Well, I think it's a very misunderstood movie by the both of you. Or we do an episode where Casey comes on and the four of us listen to the episode and react to the episode. Because that's something I've never done. I've of course experienced the episode, but I've never listened to it.

So I wonder if there would be value in recording an episode or doing like one of these live streams or something where the show is just an analysis of the episode. And I'd love to see how we film now. I mean, I would hope you and Casey would have evolved. Gotta. If not, you should be locked up. Yeah. And it's so interesting, Jason, because I think for a long time, I was very aware, like, oh, Paul and I are married in real life. And, you know, I don't ever want Jason to feel kind of, like, excluded because we have our own thing.

I don't ever want him to feel like we're getting up on him. And after a drop dead Fred, I actually then worried about Paul. Uh-huh. being so separate from us. Of course. You know, so different. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

So alone. And aligned with Casey. You know what I mean? Like just knowing, like when in his darkest moments, he has Casey to cling to, not either of us. Yeah. And this kind of speaking that you guys are both doing, this man, woman speaking that you guys are having, is to me indicative of very much a team. sanity point of view. Not a free loving, free willing

discussion, very pointed, very much coming with consequence. And so I do think you've evolved. You've evolved to team sanity. You don't tell us we evolved. Hey, you don't tell us we've evolved. Anyway, the howdy for June's

most savage dislike goes to Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Kate's sexual awakening from episode 219, drop dead Fred. So I'm going to take that one here. That's not for you. I'll put it in my sack. How does that not go to June?

These are June's most savage dislikes. Yes, I assisted that one. Well, we all assisted all of these, first of all. Okay, sure. I can tell you, we all led you into the catchphrase, like. My thoughts assisted that. So, I want to split. So, like, if it was, if men who drink tea had won, I would get it because I was the tea drinker in question?

Well, I would have to talk to that. I got him. I would have to talk to the judges about that. I would have to, because I believe that June was basing that men who drink tea on the film. Then you just happened to a drink tea. This is so unreal. Here's what I'll say. This is so unreal.

I'm going to Ving Rameses and give my award to June. June, would you like to say anything? No, first of all, like, I don't want to accept it. Of course it's my award. I'm going to take it right now. I just gave it to you. Yep, you got it. And now I have it.

And I'm going to put it in my sack. All right. That's great. It's great. And I will say, Congrats, June. Thank you. Yeah, Paul's name is on that. No June is on that award.

God, he did engrave his own name on this. Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Kate's sexual. Wait, how are the winners already engraved before the envelopes have even been opened? Again, this is serious trying to get ahead of the curve. They were, if we could. I just want to say this organization is corrupt. I don't believe in it.

I think I'm willing to say now, I bet I'm going to win none. Oh, you know what? Don't, don't, don't think that, Jason. Don't think that for a second. I'm trying to go in with an open mind, but I don't like how this is going. Kids tell your parents you're staying up late tonight because there are plenty more howdies up for grabs after this brief word from our sponsors. Well, now, this is a category. It's near and dear to my heart.

announcer which howdy is it Best Second Opinion Review And the nominees are Chieftain's review of The Phantom From episode 142 The Phantom

This movie rocks And yes I'd say that Into anyone's face Because this guy taught me to stand up to bullies And to do what was right When I saw something going on That was wrong Sure

it got me punched by a few I'm sorry sure it got me punched a few times but it's movies and ideas like this that make a person stronger than he or she thinks that they are and it creates something

that I like to call character the one thing that's actually lacking in the things that most kids see nowadays besides respect so call me an old crab Apple. Say that I'm

over the hill and even laugh at me as I walk past you. But God, I'll be right there saving you when you need me to. So go ahead and put this movie down as a flop. Go right ahead and listen to that

idiot friend of yours that smokes that crap and tries to turn you to his side by putting guys like this down. See how far you'll get listening to him or rent this

or Clint Eastwood's Grand Torino and sit down with your and sit down with your kids and teach them a thing or two about how a person should react in the face of danger how respecting another person

can make people proud because that's what this world needs now kids that we can be proud of enough said five stars Wow That's amazing Rush and Shill's review

of Ronal the Barbarian From episode 341 Ronal the Barbarian Get ready for this next one I just wanted to kind of lay the groundwork with this Rush and Shill in November of 2013 wrote a review

titled Great Movie. And here we go. The Young Mariner's Society is a small nautical league of aspiring seafaring boys that I run from my boat here in Iowa. Hang on a second. This is a confession. I'm so sorry. True or false, Iowa landlocked? We spend countless nights on my boat

just a few yards from the lake is this admissible in court I'll turn it over to Lockhart and Gardner to figure out if they can figure it out that's right I'm into season five of the good wife everybody get ready when I show up who am I oh I'm a lawyer okay here go I love that show

eventually when the repairs are complete we'll take the boat out on the water I know I work those boys hard this summer but it was the only way I knew how to prepare them for manhood much of their training was based off the television show Deadliest Catch along with movies Cabin Boy and Down Periscope

What? Kids should not watch some of those Upon graduation several of my well-instructed little seaman have taken upon themselves No Little semen have taken upon themselves

the distinguished title of Mariner. Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities. I just got to remind everyone, this is an Amazon review. I just don't want to get lost in the sauce.

Like, someone wrote this... This isn't an article where they're like, we uncovered this journal entry from the most prolific Iowan pedophile in history. This is an Amazon review, okay? Winning the rope, swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous

activities to enjoy a little R&R with a movie night. Without a doubt, they earned it. This movie was selected for its theme of maturation from boy to man. To everyone's delight, this movie was a hit. Family values galore and no home should be complete without it. Five stars. I don't know what's going on. Unless that has been written from jail, I am flummoxed by that. Jay's review of 50 Shades of Gray from episode 338, 50 Shades of Gray.

This movie was very hot and steamy. I am very happy with the purchase of this movie. It was definitely worth the buy. It made me all tingly inside. The actors were quality actors. Anna was a little annoying. but I would buy the movie again. I mean, I would recommend buying this movie

for a little bit of romance in your life. The movie was definitely hardcore, and I think I would buy the movie again. I even bought the sequel to the book, and I'm super excited for 50 Shades Darker to come out in theaters. I have a whole year to wait, but I'm really excited for it to come out. I love the movie so much that I can't wait.

I watched this again last night before I went to bed. And then I woke up and watched it again, and I started thinking about it. Nope. You should totally be it. buy this movie, and you should buy the book. It will make you feel hot. You will definitely need a napkin after

watching this movie. Christian is an amazing actor, and he is so hot. I would buy this movie... Christian. Christian is an amazing actor. I would buy this movie 9.4 million more times. Purchase this. This story is well

written, and whenever I was watching this movie, it put me in an amazing mood. I was always better after reading these novels and watching this movie. I would say buy it and I would say watch it alone. And then read the book alone too. And then you'll be feeling like a million bucks in no time.

That guy died in an ocean of his own gins. Hold on. RIP! Hold on. We should cut that out. I am a mom. RIP. And my kids drive me absolutely crazy. They yell all the time. And whenever I get them

down for naps, I pull out my Kindle and I start reading this book or I bring on my iPad and I watch it. I forget about being a mom for a few minutes and I can actually fantasize about being the character. And then I'm snapped back into reality when they wake up and I wait for them to sleep. I start

counting the minutes until they are sleeping so I can read my book and watch my movie. I even pull it out while the kids are watching TV or my husband is watching the game. I would recommend this movie to all my girlfriends. It is a hot read and definitely something I would watch again.

I already have. These kind of movies are my favorite. I love the dominance of the male character and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Buy this movie for a bit of hot and heavy romance. You will not be dissatisfied. Happy watching ladies and gentlemen. I am very happy with the purchase of this movie five stars.

Wow. Wow. Again, another category where I am serving up some great. Can I just say one thing? You didn't write these reviews. Okay. So anyone could have read them.

That's it. You always read the Amazon review. He didn't write this. Okay, sure, sure. And actually, there's a couple times, Jason, where I've said to him, like, we can read them too. Yeah. Scott, cut this part out.

Cut this part out. No, leave it in. We could read them. Cut this part out. You want to read them. You do read them. But any one of us could. We all read.

And the reality is that the people that wrote these reviews, are deserving of the award. You, you are the middleman in this. Okay, all right, sure. I'm going to say one other thing, Paul, and I don't want to do this. I want this to be a night of celebration. Yeah, I would love it to be like that.

But, but like, you don't even curate. You don't even go through and look at all the reviews and pick them. You are handed a packet from my producers. Yeah, like, what if I got handed the pack? You know, Molly, yeah, Molly. Probably get the award. Molly should, look, Molly definitely gives me a list that I then curate.

You know, so again, it is... You go through a couple that she gives because she's gone through all of them. Hmm. Interesting. Here's what I'll say. I bet this. I bet Molly doesn't even have a howdy sack. Molly, like, Molly, do you have a howdy sack?

I have an off-brand howdy sack. I made it myself, but it's just as good as all of your fancy howdy sack. By the way, Jason, do you see how big Paul's howdy sack is? Well, it's, you know what? It's got to hold all them. Well, it's bigger than... the one I was given 10 years ago. So that means Paul has had new howdy sacks made

and he has the one that he made from self is bigger than the one. I never even got this new one. You know, look, I didn't have time to get it in the mail. He took all the sheets off of our bed and sewed them together. Yes, I did too. If you're at home and you want to make yourselves a howdy sack and show it off, Paul, where should they send the pictures?

They should send the pictures, put it on the Discord. The disconnected Discord. God damn it. Sorry. All right, well, you know what, all of that to be said, whether I'm deservant of this or Molly is or Scott, who cares? Let's not argue about it. Let's just say that the winner for the best second opinion review goes to, oh, this is a good one, Jay's review of 50 Shades of Grey from episode 339, 50 Shades of Gray. This is honestly, I have to say, all kidding aside, I want to be very serious, one of the best five-star reviews ever.

It twists and turns... This is an unraveling. It is a... This is a woman on the verge. Yes. And in the honesty in which they can reveal themselves in the five-star review.

And we know we're weeding out the people who are trying to just get on the show. This is not someone trying to get on the show. This is somebody who is very much into 50 shades of gray. Oh, yeah. No, the earnestness

and the revelatory confessions inside of it are pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Now, moving on, you know, our movies tend to... to have a lot of heroic first responders. But thankfully, those first responders don't always make the smartest decisions.

Most baffling choice by a first responder. And the nominees are the paramedic who used her hair clip as a clamp from episode 315 ambulance. Jake and Will and Cam are sweating. And then they open this poor dude up. Oh, yeah. His spleen explodes.

They use a hair clip as a clamp. And it works? And she, I mean, she takes it from her disgusting dirty hair. Doesn't, you know, like normally in a movie, like, when they're doing, like, fake surgery, like, in a restaurant with a penknife, she'll take some vodka and pour it on the knife. She did not even bother to take any rubbing alcohol in the back of this rig to fix her disgusting hair clip. She puts it in. in there, and then closes him up.

And he's fine. And he's talking by the end of the movie. He's fine. Oh, my God, it's just so great. He's in better shape than everybody else in the movie. He's like, I saw everything. I know what's up. And they're like, my guy, you have a banana clip in your body.

And then he's like, you've got a scrunchy in your body. Did you have your hand in me? And she's like, oh, yeah, I was way in there. She said, I'm up in his guts. She said, he's like, hey, he's coming too, he's coming too. I'm up in his guts. What? It's interesting because in these movies, I did have the thought at one point, like, oh, Michael Bay is going to want her hair down.

He's going to want to get her hair down. Oh. And the way he did it. I love this. It's successful. It was successful, and it was also like, wow, could not have imagined that. Oh, my God. Could not have imagined that.

The way you can read these texts? Thank you. No, she really is going deep. I respect the shit out of this. The lady cop who cooked lotcas from episode 343 Samurai Cop. And I'll talk about this. They pour hot oil on the lady cop. And I kept on thinking, what is she making French?

Guys, how come there's so much on oil? Hang on. She is at the, she's at the stove, right? She takes the thing, frying pan, off the stove, goes to the freezer. She goes to the freezer, opens it, bends down to do, I don't know what. Cool it off. Comes back up and is back up at the thing. I was haunted by a...

Doing what? She also has a large bandage on her calf. I didn't see that. Which I was unsettled by. I didn't see that. Maybe Joe Zamora, I tried to put it in the wrong place. Right here? Yeah.

With his little dick? I really wonder. So when she went to the freezer, I was like, is she cooling off the oil? Like, did it get too hot? But that amount of oil. Just business. What was she doing with it? Lockas?

I mean, how does she? I had to make sense of it. Sunday is Locka Day. Frozen Latka day. Of course. It's the only thing that makes sense. She's preparing frozen lotkas. By the way, can we just talk about the timeline of that day?

Holy shit. That should be the shirt. Lady Cop Lockas. Oh, my God. I love that. The paramedics who treat all wounds with chest compressions. From episode 346, Madame Webb. Thank God

she has taught all three girls the only piece of health the only piece of life-saving she's taught them all CPR chest compressions are good for everything every single call she goes on as a paramedic chest compressions

you would think from this movie because there's somebody the EMT who gets injured in the ambulance and he's covered in blood he clearly has injuries and she's just giving him chest I believe he would have lived if she had treated if she'd treated his actual injury. She pushed his heart out of his body.

He had open wounds and she just was like chest compressions. I will say this. One of the cool things that they do in that sequence is how they have to work together to do a chest compression because sometimes you get like tired and you're like, somebody get in here, finish my chest compression. But it's after minutes. It's after minutes.

They switch after every. After like five seconds. Yes. But I was actually glad as somebody who's always up to date on our CPR. I was glad, thank you so much. I was glad to see like, yeah, people do get tired. If you're doing it correctly, you do tire out pretty quickly. And so it is important for other people to come in on the beat.

Absolutely. And by the way, I agree with all this. But it would also lead me to believe that at the end, they would all take turns to Reviver. Only two. They do switch once. Why? After like two pumps. Oh, you're calling them a two pump

chump? You're calling these teenage girls? Paul Sheer is calling these teenage girls two pump chumps. Wow! And the howdy for most baffling choice by a first responder goes to yes, the paramedics who treat open

and wounds with chest compressions from episode 3.46, Madame Webb. I mean, from one of our absolute favorite Madame Webb, I mean, really wonderful stuff. We love to be able to visit again to step foot in the web of hers. I love that. And also, I remember, I think I'm correcting this, that we do have a shirt with bloody handprints on it that says, like, I went to Madam Webb's CPR school, which I do, I do enjoy. Madam Webb, the gift that keeps on giving, really. Truly, like something that will, I think, live on for a long time. It is, it's a special one. More so than Morbius, more so than a lot of the other ones in this world that we did.

This one is, this one's pretty spectacular. Oh, unfortunately, Adam Scott could not be here tonight, yes, but he did want me to say something, share it with you all. Paul, when you take on the responsibility, great power will come. Wow, pretty solid words. And you know what? I will just accept this award on his behalf. I'm going to take the responsibility here. So this is how you win? Let me just put that in my sack and say, thank you.

I think this should go. Thank you, Molly. Thank you, Scott. I see there's a lock on it? How do you have a, you have a luggage lock on your howdy bag? Yeah, of course. These are hot items. I mean, you know, you see some of these on.

eBay, uh, uh, June. June. Yes. Saw some of them on eBay. Do you know, have you been selling your howdies? There's only, I haven't been selling.

I've been selling Paul's howdy, sacks. Oh, smart. Yeah. Because there have been so many throughout the years. Well, there was a couple left in that one. That last one, there's a couple left in there. But please don't. Okay.

Please. Anyway, I'll take this award. I'm throwing it in my sack. Congrats to Paul on another Howdy added to his sack. Will Jason finally win his first Howdy Award? Find out this Friday in part two of the third annual How did This Get Made Howdy Awards. See you then.
