This week, the thing that happens when Noah takes a day off...

Ted Danson was a weird choice for that bit. He's on one of the best shows on TV now.

When Heath said "musical" for next week all I could think was, "Please tell me they somehow tricked Rebecca Vigil into doing other one of these."

Grant Cosper

Yep, The Good Place. It just seemed like a weird celeb to pick for the joke. Danson isn't doing lowly celeb roasts, he's on a very well respected show currently.

Did I hear it wrong, or is there something like 3 min ad at the end of this "ad free" episode? Is that how it works for patrons?

Markus D

I'm pretty sure it's been like that for a while. Maybe it's on-and-off? It's because some people like to listen to the skits anyway.

I'm totally with Eli when it comes to the Rocky movies. I had the exact same reaction when i was reminded that Rocky lost in the first movie: "What, why? Why did they treat it like he won then?"

Can someone explain why Heath and Andrew are in favor of 13 year olds fighting? What’d I miss?

They've always done it like that, backending ads on the 'ad free' version, though usually only when it's a skit ad. I presume they do it this way because either the advertisers require it, they feel their skits are produced content patrons may enjoy so they put them at the end to make the unquestionably optional, the skits require work so damnit they go in anyway, or some measure of all plus other considerations I as a listener fail to grasp.

This episode is worth listening to solely for Heath’s Stallone impression. Heath, who doesn’t do accents or silly voices, nails it here.

The ads are put at the very end. Not because we have to, but because more people find them funny and request them. Thus way they do not interrupt your podcast and you can just hit stop when the ad(s) start. We don't put any ads that aren't skit (humor) based.

Have the guys ever thought about going after the SAW movies? I'd love to hear Noah tear John Kramer's ass out of the moral high ground while he's freezing someone to death with supercooled pig blood while they pull their own teeth out with pliers and lay each one on a digital scale, or whatever.

Thanks, all, for the explanation. Makes sense.

In comparison, Philadelphia having a statue to Sly-as-Rocky isn't all that bad. The closest major U.S. City where I live (i.e. Milwaukee) has a bronze statue to The Fonz.

Funnily enough, the stuff in this movie about weird blurred lines between manager and trainer is pretty accurate to real life professional boxing. Boxing is still ridiculously corrupt and poorly regulated, and a lot of fighters have trainers who also act as managers and often rip them off blind when dealing with their money since the fighter's so focused on training. Also, yes, weirdly enough medicine ball throws are still used frequently in professional fighter training. It's a good way to practise coordinating your whole body for throwing power into punches. A good half of boxing training is still old-wives tails and bro-science with very little actual reaclity in science to back it up. Haha
