A screenshot with me, Stoney McPotdreads, & the dude who played the Aussie tabloid guy in Mr. Deeds:

Some things that were cool:
- Paul Giamatti is super nice, and his stand-in Chris hung out with all us extras & told awesome stories.
- One of the extras could do any voice Trey Parker does PERFECTLY. It was amazing.
- Bryce Dallas Howard wears a perfume that is the best smell I’ve ever smelled.

Some things that were lame:
- I was in a party scene, & they filled all the beer bottles with nasty, old, warm O’Douls. Occasionally I would forget this fact, and, as I am not accustomed to holding full bottles of beer, would mistakenly take a swig with no alternative but to swallow the rancid brew with a smile on my face. That’s what she said.
- A band plays the party, and they had to sync with a pre-recorded tape that, over 2-3 days of shooting, was stopped & started roughly 41,982,303 times.
- The movie ended up blowing goats.

Also, Ben extols the virtues of LED lights, and Listener Nic is offering YOU a prize for leaving the best iTunes review in December!

So, who’s signing for this..?

“[Obama Ecstasy] is characterized by a brief, powerful high followed by a long, slow comedown.” -SNL

And this pretty much speaks for itself:

We’ve also added this week’s drink recipe to the Hey, Bartender page. “But there’s no Hey, Bartender this week?!” We know… Just listen to the show, and it will all make sense. Pinky-swear.

Audio from this week’s 911 caller in a report by CNN:

(Thanks, Jamie)

And someone actually caught video of the Texan crashing his $1.6M Bugatti Veyron! (note: no pelican)

Here are some pics of the car back on terra firma, if you’re interested.

“But, wait! There’s more…”

On Ep56, we talked about how men are babies when they get sick, and several of you sent us links to Nick Frost’s hilarious video about that very topic. They won’t let me embed it, so hop over to YouTube & enjoy!

Also, deez grapes went to the movies, and Ben tells a Shelton story: Ray’s Happy Light.

“License & registration plea-aa….OH MY GOD THAT IS AWESOME!!”

I’m pleasantly surprised at the results of our last poll. Of the 60 people who voted, more than half loved their job (53%)! Only 16 people described it as being “just a job,” half that number were unemployed, and only 4 people hated how they bring home the bacon.

Also, we want to know if a hip hop party might interest you, and we celebrate the glorious return of “Awful Poetry with Zack!”

If you wake up with this tattoo…

…then maybe you could cover it up with this authentically awesome Mad Men suit:

And remember – nothing says “I love you” like an AIDS ring:

Topics include: Our first guest(!), getting dreamed about, Ben plays/sucks at “Steakhouse or Gay Bar,” Listener Seth mailed us a package, Video Prozac, music on the show, Aaron met the Presidents of the United States of America, a Badass of the Week/Listener Email combo, and, as always, That’s Messed Up.

Oh, and did we mention: We’ve got tons of Luke Burbank hanging out with us and being awesome! Check out and listen to Luke’s daily podcast “Too Beautiful to Live.” He & it are both totally rad.

Ben’s super high-class business card:

And Listener Seth sent us The Truck-Nuts of Righteousness:

Also, Ep52 marks the glorious return of “Hey, Bartender!” featuring world-infamous William the Bartender! (He’s more than famous: he’s IN-famous…)

Watch out for those potholes, man.

Thanks, Listener David for the banner pic this week! And thanks to the 49 of you who voted in our last poll. Natural boobs trounced fakies by almost triple.

Next week will feature our interview with radio host/producer/podcaster Luke Burbank! He’s gracious enough to sit down with us in Studio B, and we couldn’t be happier.

If you have any questions you’d like us to ask Luke (about anything), let us know before 7pm Tuesday, & check his show out at tbtl.net or iTunes!

Also, we debut 2 new segments: “This Week in FAIL” & “Email of the Week.”

Apparently snakes have legs now. That sound? Oh, that’s me shitting myself:

“Save a dwarf, buy a T-shirt!”

And be sure to check out the Songs page for the video to this week’s closing song; it’s the kind where they film themselves recording & cut the video like the audio. It’s rad, & the girl is totally indie-cute.

Also, Listeners Kimmi & Tristan sent us BRASS FUCKING KNUCKLES with “Grapes of Rad” ENGRAVED on them! See them modeling the ‘knucks above.

And thanks for coming to our site! We hope it’s –

Fishsticks, Kanye. Fishsticks.

Also, please buy our shirts. They’re only $15.

Oh, and KFC wants to kill you:

Thanks to all 58 of you who voted in our last poll! Apparently, when it comes to wiping his ass, Aaron is doing it wrong.
