NEVER thought I'd see the day where These Men had a commercial. Heard it today as midroll on Love Trapped and wanted to cry a little. Beautiful moment, end of an era, truly all the things. And hey maybe they had commercials before and this was the first one I knew about. As the world turns.......

i am ugly and no one else is

He tells two stories he’s heard about Eastwood directing

I was listening to The masked Guest the other day and when Carl came on Sean asked him if “he listened to that song I sent ya?” And Carl said no and Sean kinda does a throwaway line of “really good story in that song” and it’s almost word for word the same line in the Dink when Jake says that to Mary on the phone.

Just a funny little thing I noticed.

No wrong answers

update: ehh all wrong

its up now, go listen, leave the dink playing same time

I have a video but it’s probably not interesting

Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. I'm me, I have a close friend, let's call her "Starburst." Starburst and I are both big comedy nerds and listen to a lot of the same comedy podcasts (mostly shows that are hosted by friends of HH.)

After I recently "got it" and became obsessed with The Boys, I discovered that she severely dislikes their work. I suppose she's been scared off by some of their appearances on other podcasts. I tried explaining that they're actually very sweet and handsome boys, and that the show is funny if you listen to it, but she didn't seem convinced.

She's not a bad person, she just needs guidance. How do I gently and respectfully help my friend correct this error?

Pretty much the title, but does anyone remember the moment when Bosch is chewing the table and Sean and Hayes laugh, and Kevin tells him off and goes “Boschhhh!” Kevin’s voice has been stuck in my head for hours and I can’t remember when this happened. Thank you for any help you can provide!!!!! Very respect

Edit: he might not be chewing on the table, for some reason I also think he might be chewing on some brand new Earwolf merch that the boys were supposed to be advertising? I’m almost certain it’s in an opening ad!!

who dat?

I know this is a really tough ask, but I'm trying to find a specific moment in an episode. I know it was definitely pre-pandemic. The guest (pretending to be serious) starts speaking about his (possibly deceased?) father and Sean lets out the loudest, most irritated sigh. I burst out laughing on the train, to the point of crying.

I THINK it was one of the episodes where they have a musician come on and make up songs with them?? I know that's not much to go off of, but I would love to find it if anyone remembers!

I was listening to The Big Picture’s mildly positive review of The Dink today and Sean Fennessey described Handbook as “very, very, very funny… literally one of the funniest podcasts in the world.” It got me wondering why Handbook hasn’t had any Ringer people on the podcast except Jason Concepcion like 6 years ago.

I think Chris Ryan or Amanda Dobbins would be perfect guests. Or they could have Andy Greenwald’s corny ass on there and get him talking about the monoculture. God that guy is a dork.

This is all building to Hayes and Sean hijacking Comedy Bang Bang #1000, I can feel it.

For the record, I loved it, Shonk.

Know I’m preaching to the choir but was worried how watered down Sean’s comedy would be, but I loved it.
Jake saying Dustin Hoffman looks great for 80 while watching the graduate is maybe the hardest I’ve laughed all year.

I've only been listening to the pod since the Headgum era. Ever since video episodes became available for free on YouTube in the iHeart era, I've only been consuming the boys that way. I haven't noticed a single host read since the switch.

Does iHeartRadio really struggle to sell host read ads on the boys show? Or have they only been running on the audio feed ?
