ben said when they are going to show Jersey and I looked up at some middle eastern men and I chuckled because im from south jersey and it has a large hindu/sikh population at least where I grew up

Alex Hannah

Would love Pete Holmes on the pod but would love to hear Griffin and David make it weird (separately)

William Evans

Bullet Train is the most I’ve ever disliked a 3/5.

Daniel Johnson

“There’s a horsey in the water!” Was David in Full Daddy mode I cackled

Mariana Sedillo

'Oops all Lunch orders' crossover with '12 Hr Day ?!

Isaiah Bornman

Queens Af the Stone Ige

Jeremy Jones

Please no Pete Holmes.

Hayley

Maybe the POWAQ were the QATSI we made along the way…

Will Pottorff

i watched truman show a lot as a child and would imagine my front door glass panel was a tv people were watching me through. obviously im fucked now

Luke Monteleone

At 51:17 the way Ben says "I didn't eat the Little Caesars" is one of my all time favorite soundbites he hits it like Beatlejuice it's amazing

Isaac Westergard

Ben owning two alligators named "balloon" and "steakhouse" is the highlight of this one for me, and more reason I hope we randomly meet some day.

It's safe to make fun of the Amish, I think. They aren't listening.

Data Janitor

SAME

GP

I'm getting a "maximum usage count for this promo code" error.

Paul Scanniello

is patreon presale sold out?

ella

See you there! Orchestra baby. Almost went balcony for the Jason mantzoukas “freaks in the balcony” bit but decided to be front and center.

Ross

I feel like you need to do a death valley/Disneyland/universal studios patrion trip. Ben has never seen the desert.

Alex Solliday

Woohoo got my tickets!

Ross

Now to hope that this selection of movie pre-rolls includes Greg Marcus from Marcus theaters (they always include super corny jokes and I love it)

Connor Crehan

*Sean Fennessey TikTok voice* See you at the movies!

Dan

Ticket link is live and was able to get my ticket. See you all there!

Connor Crehan

See y'all March 23rd :)

Alex

I feel like Griffin would absolutely love stardew Valley

Jordan Gibson

I kept getting error when i put that in

Charles reighard

The defense of the Barbie trailer ending with David requesting all the haters go to the deepest, darkest place of his ass has been the highlight of 2023.

Chas

POW! Right in the qatsi!

Lizz

For Canadian blankies y’all have talk about the cineplex snowman short at the live show

ders

I don't pretend to be John Hodgman's friend, but from reading his books, I would venture that his son picked up sailing during their regular stays in Maine (aka Vacationland, available everywhere #alwaysbeplugging).

Mike Ostrov

Weir is my dream series, as well. You never know -- as we are not Spreadmasters. Maybe all their Truman Show talk will hype them up into doing it sooner rather than later.

Mike Ostrov

to be clear the password is 8YEARS correct

Peter Smith

Can we take your complaint to like those guys on the local news who shame companies?

Sherri Locker

Peter Weir, man, I was really hopeful for a while that the upcoming Boyle miniseries was actually a Weir miniseries cause it quickly seemed sure from the way they were talking about the David pick that it would be one of the two. Only problem I have with doing Boyle (which should be a great series) is that it seems like that’ll push back Weir at least a couple more years

Rad Rodge

Dang I didn’t expect G&D to just completely ether the Amish in the middle of Powaqqatsi

Antho

You won't be able to see it until the presale goes live

Blank Check with Griffin & David

Matthew McConaughey in Reign of Fire is one of the best portrayals of an unhinged zealot I’ve ever seen. Charisma and manic energy pour off of him.

Donald W Pratt

Should we be able to see the event details before the pre-sale goes live? Every time I try it says "There was something wrong with the password you entered."

Wade Hollomon

Watching this on Tubi with a TJ Maxx fast fashion ad before it sure is…something

Anthony Regina

Balloon & Steakhouse

Jenny Potter

I went to see Bullet Train in 4Dx (since blank check has made me obsessed with 4Dx) and first of all they didn’t turn off all of the lights and I kept expecting them to and hoping anyone else would get up and complain then 5 minutes into the movie I went and told the people. Then 25 minutes in I get fed up again bc the 4Dx part is not happening. The seats are completely stable. I go out to complain again to the poor 18 year old who has no idea where there manager is but they’re trying. At 45 minutes in, I’m seething in anger. I’ve missed 15 minutes of the ridiculously convoluted plot and super extravagant thing I paid for isn’t happening. I go out again and they still can’t find the manager. I stand there for 10 minutes missing even more of the movie and just decide to leave. I call regal and fandango and they say bc I saw most of the movie (even without 4Dx and since no one else complained) that I could not get a refund. Bullet train, not a great moviesh experience

In case anyone else is wondering its The Truman Show where youve heard the main theme before
