Added 2025-03-05 07:00:07 +0000 UTCHow did the lads meet? Well that’s a very interesting story, when Brian and A.J. moved to New York with two suitcases and didn’t know anyone and they have-uh-they head to YMCA with a $2000 check which they could not cash. Why? Well, because it was an out of state bank. Anyway, uh- they were working as busboys in a hotel, and uh-uh Josh was sitting, drinking his coffee, and he was so beautiful, and they say hi to him. That’s how they met. What’s the interesting part? Well the interesting part is that after their first recording, Josh paid for dinner.

2025-05-22 03:06:21 +0000 UTCI have no prior knowledge of this movie outside of this podcast, but now I might have to watch it because I’ve never heard anyone say “hi babe” in a more fake sounding way. All of these line readings are so weird! Also, the three of you should get the gross sounding pizza and try it to see if it’s good. The commercial is like if the guy from American psycho had no charisma .

2025-04-26 12:28:47 +0000 UTCThe laughter is actually because he actually has an address on Guerrero Street and Greg needed him to get through the scene without blowing the take and get some genuine emotion, so he freaked him out by using a place he knew Tommy had an address that Tommy didn't know he knew about. So he triggered a paranoid reaction in Tommy to finish the scene and got something even creepier than needed into the film.
