0:30Jason Mantzoukas:Every act of change begins with a neighbor, with someone saying, we take care of each other here. In food banks and food pantries, neighbors pack fresh food and dignity into every box, moving food from farms to families through Feeding America's nationwide network. So when that box reaches a home, it carries more than food. It carries a promise that together we can end hunger. Feeding America, led by neighbors. Give now to end hunger at feedingamerica.org. Let me tell you something, people. When you have a bad hire at your job, it wrecks everything, okay? It costs you time. It costs you money.
1:09Jason Mantzoukas:It costs you momentum. And when you're a small business, you can't afford that. You need a good hire and you need it right away. But finding great talent isn't easy. So that's where LinkedIn's new hiring pro can screen candidates for you. So instead of sorting through applicants, you spend time talking to the right ones.

1:46Welcome back to the third How Did This Get Made? Howdy Awards, where we'll be continuing our celebration of the finest moments of the last nine years of the How Did This Get Made podcast. If you haven't listened to part one yet, what are you doing? This isn't like Surf 2. You know that movie we cover that didn't actually have a part one? So make sure you've heard part one and then go ahead and listen to my good friend Tall John Shear take it away.
2:13Jason Mantzoukas:Hello, people of Earth, and welcome back to part two of the Howdy Awards. We are just getting started. Let's get into it right now with our next category. Best subject of a Jason rant. And the nominees are Jessica St. Clair's Fabergé eggs from episode 181, Free Jack. Why have we decided that Fabergé eggs are the universal symbol of something priceless? I think my relatives in South Philly had a couple of those Fabergé eggs. Wait, what? No. Yes, right? No, no, no. Wow. With, like, the Limoges, you know, like, the shepherd girl. With a shepherd girl? No, they had, like, Yadro figurines. Yadros. Isn't that the same as a Fabergé egg?
3:01What are you? You're acting like you've seen one. Where have you seen a Fabergé egg? Where? Your family. Never. Imported them for a breeze. Nobody has Fabergé eggs. Have you lost your mind? You're saying, like, oh, my family had Fabergé eggs and Hummel figurines. Same. Are you insane? That is categorically impossible. Fabergé eggs are something... Google it, Paul. Google it.
3:27Jason Mantzoukas:How fucking expensive is a Fabergé egg? Fabergé eggs were made between 1885 and 1917. Okay. They were made for the Russian czars, Alexander III, Nicholas II, as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers. How many of them are in South Philly? Just a quick count. How many are currently in South Philly? You don't know where I come from. I will tell you this. So there are 65 known Fabergé eggs. Okay, I get it now. Oh, okay. Great. Only 57 have survived to the present day. Okay. 10 are displayed in the Kremlin. Okay, okay. So that leaves, how many? That leaves some 40-odd. So I'm so wrong. Oh, yes, you are so wrong.
4:12I'm so sorry. You're incredibly wrong. You are outrageously wrong. Wait a second. You just said on the podcast, I think my family in South Philly has a couple, a couple of Faberge eggs at their home in South Philly. Let me just say something. Yin's don't have any Faberge eggs in South Philly. The Stripster Club, Strip Club, from episode 193, Blues Brothers 2000.
4:47Jason Mantzoukas:So I'm passing to Jason. I'm passing to Jason the logo of the club, which is in neon. It says stripster. June has fallen out of her seat. No! That's it. Black it out. We're going home.
5:11Thank you, Chicago. This has been great.

Come on, Aykroyd.
5:52Jason Mantzoukas:If I'm not getting hard 2 ,000 times, then why am I seeing Blues Brothers 2 ,000? Here I get it. Who am I? Who am I? Reed, Reed, Reed. Stripster? Nope, not doing it. Jim Belushi! What? Stripster Club? Fuck you, movie! The audience in Detroit complaining about the Oogie Loves from episode 306, The Oogie Loves in The Big Balloon Adventure. I'm Dave Oogie Love. Great. Dave, what's your question? I just want to know if you knew that Real Steel was filmed here. Real Steel, the Hugh Jackman movie, yeah. Was that an option? No. What's his name? This was the only option. Wait, what's his name? What's your name?
6:35Dave? Dave. Dave, fuck you. We watched Oogie Love. You watched Oogie Love? We made you watch it. nothing else was considered Oogie Loves and if we come back to Detroit Oogie Loves 2 put your phone down put your phone down what I love is that people think that we didn't know there are other choices here's the guarantee here's my promise to you I hated this movie I hated every goddamn second I suffered through this movie if we come back to this town we're gonna watch every goddamn sequel of these movies just because you whined about it. Detroit, toughen up. You're supposed to be strong, Detroit.
7:18Bring it.
7:20Jason Mantzoukas:Ooh. Now, I remember the audience in Detroit, they were so mad. People were telling me in Detroit, they were like, I want a refund. I would have never have come to this show. And this is the funny thing about it. It's not as if we are doing, you know, this week on the show, you know one battle after another sinners and then we're like oh but detroit will do oogaloo loves like they act as if we have shocked them uh with the choice like it's bad you give us why did we get such a bad one to this day to this day i have not yet the 71 episodes or whatever it is later have not seen a reaction like you are complaining about the bad movie that you've been forced to watch for this show, just please remind yourself, you don't need to watch it.
8:10You don't need to listen to this.
8:12Jason Mantzoukas:You can unsubscribe. Well, you know, why don't you subscribe? But then, you know, following us does help. The whole thing. Sorry, sorry. You know, you can subscribe someone else. Yeah, yeah, that's the right way. Anyway, this is an award that I've been, you know, look, it's been means a lot to me, obviously. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean it means a lot to you? I think that if I'm not, if I've not misunderstood this, I can't lose this award. Well, we'll see. Well, I mean, look, you're right. You know, you came in here, didn't think you're going to win an award. So let's see. Because this is a Jason rant.
8:45So this is tailor-made for me.
8:48Jason Mantzoukas:Let's see. The howdy for best subject of a Jason rant goes to Jessica St. Clair's Fabergé eggs from episode 181, Free Jack. Wow. But wait. Congratulations, Jessica. Wait, no. Jessica gets it? Jessica. Well, I mean. Oh, no. Well, yeah, Jessica. I'm so sorry. Jessica, we're going. Scott, that's supposed to go to Jessica, right? Correct. No. Wait a minute. Well, it goes to her eggs. Her eggs. Yeah, don't. Her eggs? I don't think we should be talking about St. Clair's eggs on the podcast like this. This is like. Very personal. But, you know, Jessica got it. And let's not take anything away from Jess.
9:25Jason Mantzoukas:We love Jess. Okay, but that is bullshit because you're telling me. Listen, it is hard. This one, this one I can, I know is a hard loss for you. But actually, as I sit here and think about it, it really should go to Jessica's eggs. Thank you. But my rants are my thing. My rants are, I'm all, I'm nothing if not for my rants. I know, but if you have nothing to rant about, then what? Okay, you know what? I see what's happening. Okay, the writing's on the wall. Okay, the fix is in. No, no, no, no. All right, I get it. No, no, no. You know what? I'm just going to fold my sack up and I'm going to put it over here because I know nothing's going in this sack.
10:00That's such a tiny sack. I mean, look. It is. It's very small. It's a stuffed sack. It's a Tom Bin stuff sack. Boy, I'd love it if Tom Bin made Howdy's sacks. I would love it. I do think it would be nice if maybe you talked to Jessica and— Oh, God. Do I have to? And the Howdy spent a little time in her place and a little time in your place.
10:18Jason Mantzoukas:You know what? Oh, shared cussed? Okay. Jason, this is maybe for you. New rule. Jason, right? That's what you always do whenever you do your rant. Is this club random? That's not the way you do it. Whenever you get into a rant, you go, new rule. No, that's Bill Maher. Oh, I thought that was you. Oh, wow. This is humbling. New rule. Next year, Jason will get a howdy. Anyway, yeah. But I mean, next year is probably in nine years. There could be another howdy award show in a week or eight years. We don't know. The schedule of it. That's fun is to just like, you don't, because we don't know when the award show will happen.
10:59We actually can't really pander. That's true. You know what I mean? You gotta be engaged all the time. You know that all the Oscar movies are coming out in December. Like, for us, it's just like, we gotta be ready whenever. Whenever. At the drop of a hat. Yeah. At the drop of a dead Fred. We might be called upon to howdy.
11:19Jason Mantzoukas:Well, here's the thing. You know, we've been giving out a lot of awards. I've certainly taken my fair share. I'm like the studio here. And I'm going to tell you that tonight, we're not just taking home awards for ourselves. We're also opening it to everyone. And our next award is not an award necessarily, but a lifetime achievement. Lifetime achievement for best nerd in the audience. That's right. We want to honor one of our favorite nerds ever. There has been a lot of audience nerds who have stood out over the years. We have Pete the S-Man, Tim from Largo, Ben Cannon, Leah from Chicago, Jafar.
12:00Jason Mantzoukas:That's just to name a few. I love our ultimate fans, the ones who come in costumes, the ones who come with a notepad. Remember that guy for the Blues Brothers episode who came with a binder, a full binder? It's amazing to me. People come in costumes. People do all sorts of things. but the people who've done their own incredible research and come prepared to, to, to give us the information that we're looking for. I feel like Tim is always good for that at Largo. Tim, I have to say is the best nerd in the sense that he then never makes it about himself. Tim is like under the radar. Yes. Like in this category, I think.
12:40Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. I agree. I feel like Tim shares like despite himself, like it's not, you know, He's just trying to get information out, but he takes no pleasure in the spotlight. No, not at all. The only spotlight he seeks is just to attack James Acaster. Yes, yes. Oh, my God. I brought him on that. Now, you were saying that James Acaster did stumble upon that shirt that we made, James Projector. He did text me and say, what is this? I did not realize that. The James Projector shirt. did not realize that we would actually make the shirt that we did say we were going to make in the show. Oh my god. By the way, speaking of shirts, we have re-released our first two shirts, our Ridiculous Cage shirt and our What's It's Mission shirts.
13:29Jason Mantzoukas:You can get them in the TeePublic store. Alright, so without any further ado though, I think that there is one nerd who rose to legendary status. He showed up in Philadelphia and knew something about Dungeons & Dragons, knew everything about Dungeons & Dragons. Yeah, knew everything. We gave him the mic. He did not abuse that power. He wielded it gently and justly like no other audience member ever did before. Here, take a listen. I'm letting Morgan hold the mic because I trust a DM. I trust a Dungeons & Dragons person with the mic. They understand their role. This is respect. This is respect.
14:13Jason Mantzoukas:And now let me ask you one more question. This is probably the nerdiest question I'll have. Talk to me about dragons. Yeah, so this movie definitely went for more of like a Game of Thrones feel to their dragons. But like in Dungeons and Dragons, their dragons are like intelligent creatures. They're very like proud and vain and they have like treasure hordes. And some of them are evil and some of them are good. And for some reason, the good ones are named after crayons in the box. and the, sorry, the bad ones are crayons in the box and the good ones are metallic. Yeah. And gold. Okay, so, so, okay, this is so helpful.
14:48This is so helpful. Now, can I ask, I'm just going to be, yeah, it's just like. We didn't prompt this chant. This is an organic chant.
15:05Jason Mantzoukas:You know what? You could take out your phones and take a picture of Morgan. Yeah. Out of curiosity, Morgan. As a D &D, I'm assuming fan since childhood, question mark, ish? Pretty much. Pretty much. Did you have feelings on this specific movie when it came out? Great question, Jason. Thank you, June. Yeah, were you excited about it? I pride myself in my questions. Yeah, that was a great question. I'm vain like a dragon. Oh, Magenta Mandzoukas. Ooh, with my hoard of treasure and gold like Smaug. Smaug is actually a great example of like... Go to hell, Morgan!
15:58Was just going to say Smaug is a great example of like what D &D dragons are actually like. I did not see this movie as a child, actually, probably because my parents shielded me from it. I wasn't even aware until it was announced for this that this was a movie. Oh, wow. Okay, there we go. And how did you feel about it just in general? Do you have thoughts? It was so bad. Yeah. Morgan gets it. The rest of you fucking idiots don't. I hated it. Yeah, so, okay, and then we'll let you go, I think. Or maybe you have to pull up another chair. Can we have a fourth chair? But when you're a player in the game, could I join as a dragon or I'd be a thief or I'd be an elf?
16:47You could join as a dragon at certain tables.
16:54Got it. You've said enough. I'm not welcome everywhere. It's not a default assumption that you can do that Let me say this, if you're inviting me to play your D &D game I better be able to be a goddamn cat If you want to play my D &D game, you can be a goddamn cat I'm in Wow I don't think I can though Here's what I'm going to say I want to let Morgan get back to his seat Where is your seat, Morgan? Are you far away? Okay, can we let Morgan take the mic with him but kill the sound? In case we need him to pipe up, he can stay at his chair Yeah, all right. Take the mic. You can do it. Wow, okay. Thank you, Morgan.
17:33Give it up for Morgan! A Philadelphia hero!
17:39Jason Mantzoukas:And that's why our howdy for best nerd in the audience goes to the one, the only, Morgan, from episode 335, Dungeons & Dragons. And here is Morgan accepting this prestigious award. I actually don't appreciate being called a nerd. No, I totally do. It makes me so happy when a fellow nerd is pulled from the audience and called a Morgan. I just want to thank Paul, Jason, June, Scott, and all my fellow Philly freaks who let me be a part of that show. It was the coolest thing that's ever happened to me, or will ever happen to me. And I'm coming to terms with that, I promise. Also, Jason, come play your magenta dragon at my table, coward.
18:21Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, wow. Okay. I will. Wow, and he just ended on that. That was a real mic throwdown. I love that. A real challenge. Yeah. I wasn't expecting that kind of acceptance speech. So it's interesting to see what people do in these big moments. Do you see this? And I just got this note passed from Scott here that on behalf of Morgan, because he couldn't be here, I will take the Morgan's award. No, no, no. You don't have to. At the end of his thing, he addressed me. Yeah, but I'm going to take it right now for him. I don't know if you got room in the sack anymore. I got room in the sack. I mean, if anything, Scott should send it to Morgan.
19:02Jason Mantzoukas:We'll figure that. I think, again, it's about— Who has no plan to be in Philadelphia anytime soon? We were just there. Come on now. Come on now. Why do you—I have a quick question. Yeah. Why do you already have so much shelf space cleared out in the bookshelves behind you? Well, I was hoping. I was hoping. You're hoping or you knew? I thought, look, look, okay, everybody needs to chill the fuck out, all right? I'm taking care of these awards, okay? Taking care of them. All right. All right? I know how to protect these awards better than anyone else, okay? I know these awards thrive here. The third annual Howdy Awards will return after a brief word from our sponsors.

28:49Jason Mantzoukas:And the howdy for best second opinion song goes to Bats, Bats, Bats, Bats, Bats. That is Mark and Connor's riff on LMFAO's Shots from episode 329, Bats. That doesn't seem right. I mean, odd. But you know what? It did get the crowd pumped up. Okay. What? I mean, sure. But I just, I feel like we can do better, you know? I mean, look, it's sometimes it's not about the quality. It's about the, it's the audience engagement. And I don't want to judge anybody too harshly. Okay. On to our next category announcer, please. Best Paul childhood story. And the nominees are 12 year old Paul goes to a New York City strip club from episode 321, Milk Money.
29:41Jason Mantzoukas:I did bring my friends into New York City one time. We went to Show World with fake IDs. And then... Show World is a strip club. And I went there as a 12-year-old. Paul, you had a fake ID? Well, you went to the store and you got an NYU ID and it said I was a college student, but I was only 12. And then you showed it to the people at Show World and they would let you in. I think they knew I wasn't in college. Oh, you think? You think? I like that there's a little, you're not quite sure. You're like, I was chewing on my bubble tape. I think they knew I was 12. I was so gobstoppers. And there was a moment where I was walking around Show World as a 12-year-old, and this woman approached me, and she said, do you want to watch me take a shower?
30:27Jason Mantzoukas:And I said, no. Paul, this movie. This is Frank. Well, this movie is your life. Did you sign away life rights? Is that why you're mad you didn't make a cut? Just feel like I could have gotten some better moments in there. And I remember that moment because I was like, I don't want to watch you take a shower, so I'm going to wait outside Show World. And I hung outside Show World and talked to the bouncer for a long time. While my two other friends were doing whatever they were doing. Watching someone take a shower. But before we got the show world, this guy was like, you want to like meet a. This is crazy.
31:08Jason Mantzoukas:Do you want to meet a sex worker? And we like, yeah. And he started to lead us down an alley. And at that point, I was like, this movie is your life story. By the way, I just want to go on record. We are two hours into the show. And only now are you inadvertently admitting and realizing this is your life story. on film. I did not put it all together. How? And as we were walking down that alley, I said, this is bad. Let's go. And then the guy said, where are you guys going? Where are you guys going? We're like, we're going to get out of here. And I pulled my friends out and then we went to Show World.
31:45Yeah. The only difference is he didn't have a gun
31:47Jason Mantzoukas:like this guy did. He might have. We didn't go down far enough down the alley. Paul's grandma threatens a butcher will grind him into meat from episode 232, Adventures of Pinocchio. My grandmother used to tell me this story when I was a kid that I needed to lock the door to my house because when she lived in Garden City this is where my grandmother lived in New York she's like, when I lived in Garden City there was a little boy and he didn't lock his door and one day he was in his bed I already know this is deeply irresponsible of her to have said and he heard footsteps coming up the stairs slowly slowly slowly slowly and then he's gotten really nervous and he got under his bed and he was under the sheets and the door opened creak it out and then the boy looked and it was the local butcher and he got scared and then all of a sudden the butcher grabbed him and the mom came home the boy wasn't there she brought home her chop meat no Paul stop stop it right now what are you talking about you're grand boy and what and the mother what are you talking about and then as the mother was making hamburgers for her son she started making hamburgers but the hamburger meat starts like mama no mama wait Paul, no.
33:24The chopped meat? The meat knew? Because the meat was the boy? The meat, but that, again, that's, no, once it's turned into meat, the kid wouldn't know. At that point, it's just meat, you know. Oh, whoa. That's unreal. I am shaking on my insides. Paul tries to French kiss his mom. from episode 217, Jaws 3D.
33:56Jason Mantzoukas:I almost, I tried to French my mom after watching Love Boat. I've heard this story before. What is happening right now? Is this for the podcast? Are we putting this out into the world? As a little kid, I could. You try to make out your words with your mom. No, French, French, sorry, sorry. I get it though. I mean, I do watch it. I get it because I did the same to many other. I wasn't like 12. I was like a little kid. No, no, no, I get it. I was like watching like the love bud all the time and they were always like open mouth kissing. So I just thought, oh, that must be the next level of kissing.
34:38Right. I can get that. And was she receptive? No. Did she consent enthusiastically? Guys. Oh, God. I feel good to get it off my chest. Oh, man. These are all bangers. This is just book promotion. I don't understand.
35:01Jason Mantzoukas:This category is book promotion. Only one of these stories. And that was the thing that I heard from most people on my book tour. I thought that you would have more stories from the show in your book. And I honestly think only one or two stories that are in the book have been on the show. And when people ask me why, I said, I just forgot. I wasn't trying to check off boxes here. Anyway, I'm going to give this award to somebody else, somebody who deserves it. I'm going to, yeah, I will not take this one. I'm going to open this up, this envelope, and see. The Howdy for Best Paul childhood story goes to...
35:41Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, Paul tries to French kiss his mom from Jaws 3D. Interesting. I got to tell you, I've been trying to get rid of this story. I've been trying to push this one out. This is a tough one. This is, you know, and I put a picture of this. It's been referenced multiple times as well. I put a picture up on my website of me kissing my mom on the lips just to satiate the pervos out there. Wait, wait. That needed to see it. What are you? Wait a minute. What? you gave them you gave them material to back it up? Scott, can you pull up my website paulshir.com and just go to the book section I'll show you because I was done with it just scroll down here there it is, right there oh my god, that's so funny oh that's so funny now it looks like my mom is this looks very passionate So, yeah, I've been trying to live down this story, but here's what I'm going to say.
36:45I love that the website is paulsheer.com slash pervert.
36:48Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how you get to this. Because I know that all you pervs out there. Here's what I want to say. I am giving this award to everyone who has approached me in silence and whispered in my ear, I did the same thing. I did the same thing. So to them, I see you. Are they saying that they also tried to French kiss their mom or are people just coming up and whispering in your ear? I did the same thing. I did the same thing. What are you talking about? It's more the second, but I assume it's in reference to that. I haven't really clarified. But yeah, I just want to give it to all the people out there who see me and also have had the courage to admit they have French kissed their mom.
37:31Jason Mantzoukas:Jesus. us. Don't go anywhere, folks, because it's almost time for the biggest and final howdy of the night. Best Guest. Ooh, baby, who could it be? Stay tuned.

40:39Jason Mantzoukas:All right, and now for our final and most prestigious category of the night. Best guest appearance. And the nominees are Nicole Byer and Adam Scott from episode 196, The Meg. But he gets there not understanding anything and has to be introduced to everything that's happening there. But he's got very cool sneakers. Also, I loved that all of the secondary characters were stereotypes. Like the black guy couldn't swim. I know. That was wild. That was crazy. It blew my mind. They acknowledged how racist it was and then just kept doing it. Yeah. Because I think you're in a line. He's like, oh, because I'm black.
41:26But then later, I was like, I can't swim. Oh, a NASA, pull me out. It was so wild. It was crazy. Except in this case, the NASA is a tiny Asian girl. Who's like, shut the fuck up. Jessica St. Clair from episode 204, Holiday in Handcuffs. Yeah, because he's fucking hairless and built and shit. By the way, that is a rule in these shows. Is that your type? Yes, I think he's a Hawaiian guy in high school. Hairless and jacked? Hairless. There's not a hair in his body, and I don't think he's waxing. Oh, I think he's waxing. Seems to me, Jessica, that is unappealing. Have you lost your mind? That is unappealing.
42:08Jason Mantzoukas:You want, like, a Ken doll physique. God, I don't want to know this. My first sexual urge was for ponch. Okay, from chips. And Mario is delivering me ponch, like prime ponch. Oh, God. Please stop saying ponch. Prime ponch. Prime ponch. I do feel like his shirtless scene, though, was a real beefcake moment. That's probably a t-shirt. Prime ponch. Prime ponch. Prime ponch. Prime Punch doesn't sound like what it Just like dripping letters Prime Punch Mario Lopez is a beautiful man Very handsome There's no way around it There's nothing worse I would argue Than snuggling up to a man That has stubble Exactly I don't want to feel like you've groomed more than I have Before a date But that's why I'm so fascinated that you like a hairless man because I, as I said, I want no hair or all the hair in the world.
43:13Wow. Jessica. Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen from episode 212, Hello Mary Lou Prom Night 2. The scene in the bathroom. Yeah. I wanted to give her my Academy Award. It was amazing. Do it.
43:33Jason Mantzoukas:Do it. I'm actually not being funny. I very fairly looked at it and said this is really good work it was good this is really I'm not I'm actually like it is a good fucking moment it was a beautiful it was a one it was a beautiful shot that slowly crept in oh yeah like and then when that lady dies it was crazy because they almost cut her head off with this fucking thing this is the craziest and then they don't and they not only that it looks like they're gonna chop her head off with a paper cutter right? They don't. The cloak goes up and hangs her, then throws her out the window. What are you talking about?
44:16You just succeeded in strangling her with a cloak. Why throw her out the window? No, the best part then is the next cut is them talking about how she killed herself. She hung herself, then threw herself out of a window. Ike Barinholtz from episode 205, Cellular. So he's an L.A.
44:40Jason Mantzoukas:police officer. It's one line. It's one line. When I moved here from England when I was 18, I didn't like it. But now I love it because I'm a cop. Instead, it's like, sorry I'm late. I was on the 405. I got off at Centinella and there was a part. I grew up in Chatsworth, mate. Was he trying to hide it? He was trying to hide it, but he can't. There was a line that I really liked, and I don't remember the full line, but Jason Statham gives Kim Basinger a couple choices, and A was, shut up. A, shut up. Keep your mouth shut, just like Fernando Valenzuela after he left the Dodgers and gave a shitty interview to Bill Plaschke in the LA Times, which I fucking subscribe to.
45:25Which I read every week just for Jonathan Gold's reviews. He's a San Gabriel Valley Chinese restaurant. He's a regional treasure, isn't he?
45:35Jason Mantzoukas:Dim sum is my favorite thing. I'm going for a hike in Griffith Park, I am. Then we're going to Chengdu Palace afterwards. You're going to love it. They got fucking lobsters right in the tank. Did you guys wonder what was going to... I love Jason Statham Angelino. Casey Wilson from episode 219 Drop Dead Fred I liked that this movie Is about this little girl Not being able to experience Loss and grief And all the traumas of childhood And what she feels about her mother I thought her mom was nice Me too Me too
46:21I'm dead Finally Finally I'm not alone Loved her! Loved her!
46:26Jason Mantzoukas:What I would have given for that mother! Wait. What? What are you talking about? That mom was nice! She was nice! Casey, you're my friend! Are you insane? The mom is a sociopath. What? Wait! The mother blames the daughter! She's evil! Who blames the daughter! You're the reason he left! You want to talk about abuse? Let's talk about mom! The mother had been pushed! By what? James Projector Acaster from episode 359 Dream a Little Dream Oh, sorry, the projector moved down We'll fix that in one second Tim just told me to sort the projector Wow He said James Projector James Projector I just said that I regret it for the first time James Projector Are you fucking out of your mind?
47:21I'm not sorting the projector I'm the guest None of this is my responsibility none of this is on me I could shit my pants and walk off and I've done a great job
47:33just so you know when this episode gets released you will be credited as James Projector James Projector holy Christ Tim's getting too big for his britches Tim to not even make a full sentence out of it. You put me in a bad mood for the trailer now, Tim. I might be unnecessarily harsh.
48:01Jason Mantzoukas:Respect our guest, Tim. Respect our guest. Tim is in a full body sweat. That was funny. I do just want the projector back in your goddamn eyes and you can watch the trailer that way, Tim. How's that fun? Everyone can stand behind you and watch it projected on the back of your fucking head.
48:21James Projector, you fucking high.
48:26A whole week in this goddamn city. Everyone talking to me like a piece of shit. I don't need it from you as well.
48:36Wow. Incredible list. This is such a difficult category. I feel like of all of them, this is the one where I'm like, it could go anyway. Yeah. These are all banger guests on banger episodes. This is, these are, I mean, many of these I remember. The Ike episode is famous for the Jason Statham Angelino bit.
49:00Jason Mantzoukas:Now, I do want to say, I want to give a shout out to my friend Sean at Trek Bikes, because I was recently purchasing a bike at Trek. And Sean. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happening right now? Well, my friend Sean. Are we doing an in Howdy episode ad for Trek? By the way. I think what I'm realizing is like, I knew we must have had some giant sponsor making these Howdy's or like underwriting them because they're so big. Are they made out of gold? They are made out of solid gold. Yeah, they're heavy. And is Trek manufacturing them? Because that makes sense as to why there are bicycle chains as part of the decorative feature.
49:42Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. And then obviously, you know, the Best Audience Award, that's more of a mountain biking award. and we have that. But it was so funny because I was at the Trek bike store chatting with this gentleman, Sean, and he said to me, he goes, I quote Jason Statham, Angeleno, at least once a week. Wow. And I was like this. I said, you've made my day. I just love that that is like a bit like that. I love a deep dive bit. That's also a bit. That's a funny bit that anyone can do. Yes. Because all you need to do is a barely passable Statham and then just LA specifics. It's really, really great. I love it so much.
50:27Jason Mantzoukas:I do want to say that I love all of our guests. They are absolutely fantastic. And whoever wins this award, you're all winners. They're all winners. I love that this, our final award, finally, there is some international input. We have James Acaster here. So we have a nominee from outside of the United States, which I think is fantastic. Jason Charlize is not. Oh, Charlize as well. Yeah. Forgive me. You're absolutely right. Adam Scott, resident of Norway, I believe. He's not talking about that. Yeah. No. I mean, he will be when he runs for prime minister. All right, everybody. Let's see the howdy for best guest appearance goes to Jessica St.
51:17Jason Mantzoukas:Claire. Jess, obviously, uh, you know, if there was a fourth member of the show, it would be Jess. She's been on the show more times than, uh, than not. Uh, and, uh, you know what? I think that tonight would only be fair to give Jess the microphone. I mean, Ooh, hang on. If, if she's going to come on, then I'm just going to tell everybody in the audience to turn your volume down. How did this get made? It's Jessica. Thank you so much for this award. It means so much to me. I have to tell you, me being on stage with you guys, cheering in the audience and dressing up like maniacs and screaming at Jason is one of the highlights of my life.
52:03There is no better fan than a How Did This Get Made fan. And listen, have I had to spend, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars in therapy to erase some of the memories that I've made while watching these horrific films? Yes, but every dollar has been worth it because I've got to spend it with you guys. And I can't wait to watch some more trash can fires and women who want to fuck their own dogs. And, you know, who knows? It's exciting. But thank you so much. I love you.
52:39Jason Mantzoukas:All right. Jess, the best. The absolute best. She deserves it. Again, it could have gone anyway, but I'm happy. I will say she's done so much incredible work on the front lines of this show. So that being said, it can't be understated that Casey Wilson had physical injury done to her vocal cords after the Drop Dead Fred episode. And I think that should be acknowledged because she really put her body, her health, her well-being and her body on the line to fight for a absolute fraudulent point of view. OK, but hold on, Jason. Here's the thing. Casey was unavailable to make a video. So that's why.
53:26I've actually been quite scared that we're going to get a bill from Casey's like vocal node surgeries.
53:32Jason Mantzoukas:She can't prove it. Now, let me tell you this, everybody. What a show. By the way, I'll just take this Jessica one just to get out of the way. This is ridiculous. I just want to say this is ridiculous. Then I'm going home empty handed once again. It's fine. I don't know why I expected it to be different. Shame on me. Can I say something, though? there's a lot of actors like we, you know, look at who have never won any Oscars and stuff. And it's like, in some ways they're even more intriguing to us. Yeah. Interesting. You know, in some way, like in some ways we value their work a little bit more.
54:04So I'm like a Susan Lucci. I'm a Susan Lucci.
54:07Jason Mantzoukas:Susan actually did win. She eventually won. Yeah. I would say you're more like a Tom Cruise. Oh, wow. Okay. You know, you're putting your life out there. Oh, I'm like, yes, I'm putting myself on the line. Every show, every show I do is a stunt. Yeah. It's a life endangering stunt. Yeah, but it's like, you know, it's kind of cool. Like, just try to reframe it that way. Well, you know, and I will take this June. Sadly, I don't I don't think you walked. Well, I guess I'll share an award with you tonight. And, you know, there's so many people to thank. Our producers, Scott Sonny, Molly Reynolds. Wait a second.
54:45So I did take a howdy before for my June, you know, savage. Just like, it looks like you took it back.
54:52Jason Mantzoukas:Well, we're sharing it, right? I thought we agreed to share it. Yeah, but when did you come down here to my office in the middle of this recording and take it back? I'm holding on to it. I'm holding on to it. Just because I don't want you to lose it. This is infuriating. God. Thank you to our... Yes, what? Yes. What? No, no. Go ahead. Please do the outro. Please do the outro. Yeah. I'm so sorry that you both weren't able to walk away with any awards. Like I said, thank you from the bottom of Morgan's heart. Thank you from the bottom of Jess's heart. I'm going to take both of theirs and we'll make sure that we get them to them for the next howdy.
55:25I'll see Jessica tomorrow. I can give her that one.
55:27Jason Mantzoukas:No. No. All right. Thank you to our producer, Scott Sonny, Molly Reynolds, our audio engineer, Casey Holford, our intern, Quinn Jennings, who helped us pull a lot of these clips, and our social media manager, Zoe Applebaum. How nice would it be to give one of them a howdy? Yeah, they all deserve a howdy. They all, you know what? Why don't I give them your howdy, June? I'm going to give June's howdy. That's a beautiful, beautiful thing. You take June's howdy. You all share it amongst yourselves. I want to say, and we've talked. Yes. Paul, did you already have that chain made? The one that you've clipped into a howdy that you wear around your neck now?
56:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
56:06Jason Mantzoukas:I had it made just in case. Just in case. Wow, okay. They're so big, too. It's, you know, look, what a gift to give, you know, me these awards. I thank you both. You know, I do want to say as we look back on these these years that we have done this show and it's been a long time. We do owe a lot of these classic moments that you've heard in this episode to Averill Halley, who will forever be a part of the show's DNA and her selections of these films that got us to these places. We are, you know, always keeping her in our thoughts and minds anyway. Oh, I think it can't be overstated that I think without Avril's help, we would not still be doing a third annual Howdy 15 years in.
56:53Jason Mantzoukas:I believe that many times I tried to get Avril on board to help find some of these clips, and she politely and rightly said no. Incredible. The best decision she's ever made. That's really her legacy. She was an essential part of the DNA of this show, like you said, Paul. and will be forever missed. Well, we love you, Averill, and we love all of you listeners for making this show worth doing for the last 15 years and counting. And you know what? Because of you all, we will not wait another nine years between howdies. That is a wrap on this year's howdies. But you know what? I'm sure we missed a few things, and we'll give you your chance to tell us what we missed next week on Last Looks as we also revisit another film that we haven't had a chance to hear your thoughts on, and that is My Secret Santa.
57:42Jason Mantzoukas:So get your corrections and omissions in for both of these episodes next week and bye for now. This concludes the third annual How Did This Get Made? Howdy Awards. Remember, to see the photo of young Paul kissing his mom, just go to paulshear.com slash pervert. Again, that's paulshear.com slash pervert. Thanks for listening, you jerks.
