Hello and welcome to the third Annual how did this Get Made Howdy Awards. Join us as we present the finest moments from the last nine years of the how did this Get Made Podcast. So brace yourselves and welcome your hosts for this star studded event. Tal Jon Shear, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael.
Paul Scheer
Hello people of Earth and welcome to the third Annual Howdy Awards. I am joined as always by my two amazing co hosts, Jason June, how are you?
June Diane Raphael
Great to be back nine years later.
Jason Mantzoukas
Thrilled to be here, but I'm so sorry, did you say the third annual? Yes, third annual Howdy's.
Paul Scheer
Yes. So we've been doing how did this get made for 15 years and this is the third annual Howdy's where we round up the best of the year.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay, but the annual suggests. Yes, yes, Best of the year, like you just said, Paul. But we've been doing the podcast for.
Paul Scheer
15 years, so we missed, like, maybe one or two.
Jason Mantzoukas
I think we've missed quite a. You know what? I. I'm not going to poke too many holes in this. I'm wearing my tuxedo. I couldn't be more excited to be here.
June Diane Raphael
Listen, the pandemic, the fires, a lot of things happen.
Paul Scheer
So, I mean, now, you know, you bring up a good point. People out there may not even understand what we're talking about because it has been so long since we have done.
Jason Mantzoukas
The chance that a lot of our audience have never heard of Howdy's.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, we haven't done this since 2016.
June Diane Raphael
I mean, children have been born.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, children are.
June Diane Raphael
They're probably now listening.
Paul Scheer
The stars of films. I mean, this is a. Was Chalamet even alive at the first Audis? I don't know.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yes. I mean. I mean, who knows who amongst the Geek Squad was alive when the Howties began. That's what I. I'd love to see the Venn diagram.
Paul Scheer
We know Jeremy Allen White was. Because that motherfucker's old. June, you haven't. We haven't talked to you about the Geek Squad at all.
June Diane Raphael
I've heard rumbling.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, you heard rumbling. I was gonna ask if you knew anything about it.
Paul Scheer
Okay.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, no, it was like Geostorm. Like, I had to kind of put it together, you know?
Jason Mantzoukas
Isn't that fun?
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, it's like, we have to make meaning always, everywhere. And I sort of had to do that on my own from any clue I got.
Paul Scheer
Just.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just to be super quick, June, Geek Squad is, to us, like, Brat Pack was our generation.
Paul Scheer
And these are young people who are. I mean, we are using the term Geek Squad not to imply they are geeks, but more they are the people helping old people with technology. Like, they're bringing the past and the future together. Right. Like, so it's sort of like the Geek Squad originally was helping people get, like, a Blu Ray player, you know? So this is kind of what they're doing. They're helping bring entertainment to the masses. And those people are. And this is an old list, potentially. Jenna Ortega, Margaret Qualley, Jeremy Allen White.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sydney Stinger, Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, Elvis, Timothy Chalmers. Elvis is a quintessential one. If you have played a boomer icon, you're in the Geek Squad.
June Diane Raphael
Got it? Is there any difference between, like, is Anybody at the Genius Bar or it's all the. Everybody's just oh, now that's interesting Squad.
Jason Mantzoukas
I love first of June. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the dialogue. Welcome to the debate. Thank you for introducing a new tier.
June Diane Raphael
Genius Squad as we know them. Like, they're already kind of outdated. So, like, I don't know who's.
Paul Scheer
Well, we did. Just so you know, the lore was that the Geek Squad was meeting in an abandoned Best Buy because that's the only place they could kind of hang out without being like, attacked by throngs of people trying to get something from them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow, you've missed a lot, June. You missed a lot.
June Diane Raphael
I know, I know.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, all of this happened in. To be clear, I believe one episode.
June Diane Raphael
I do feel like I miss the moments that, like, you know, matter. I miss the moments that matter.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow, that's a. What a sad thing to say at the beginning of the Howdies.
June Diane Raphael
I know. It's not the energy that usually kicks.
Jason Mantzoukas
Off in a long show. Everybody gets a T shirt. Each of us gets to have our own T shirt. June's right now might be. I miss the moments that matter.
Paul Scheer
And you know what? So have our audience because we have not done this show in a very long time. 2016 was the last time that we did a howdy's. And I just want to say, Paul.
June Diane Raphael
Just to like, truly, was there a reason we stopped doing the Howdy?
Paul Scheer
Yes, because the reason was at the time, our producer, Cody. We love Cody, still with us in, you know, in the grander scheme of how did this get made? But it was so time intensive to get all these clips, find these clips. And the reason why it was even instituted in the first place at a certain point was to give us a little bit of breathing room when we had our. Our first and second child. I believe that those two. How.
Jason Mantzoukas
Those were the first sets of howdies.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, two of the howdies were done in concordance with the birth of our children.
June Diane Raphael
That I'm remembering, Paul. That I'm remembering. So I was trying not to miss moments that matter.
Paul Scheer
Right.
Jason Mantzoukas
Here we are doing the third howdies. Is there something you guys would like to announce, June?
Paul Scheer
Here. Here's what I will say. Normally we would be covering just a year. Like, if the howdies worked, it would be the year from January to December. That would be it. But instead, this Howdies is covering anything mentioned between episode 139, which is Sarah Michelle Geller in Simply Irresistible, all the way through episode 376.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Paul Scheer
Sylvester Stallone's driven so 139 to 3 76. It's a wide berth. A wide berth.
Jason Mantzoukas
My God.
Paul Scheer
Of best of moments. You can imagine a lot of best of moments on the floor.
Jason Mantzoukas
A lot of stuff is included in that 10 year span.
Paul Scheer
Yes. And I will say, keeping in tradition, no one has voted on this. We have picked the winners arbitrarily on a whim. So don't get mad. You didn't miss the voting because that would again, be time intensive for us to do. Again, we don't have the time.
Jason Mantzoukas
Also, who cares, right?
June Diane Raphael
That part two, not everything. Listen, democracy is dying everywhere. Like, why should the Howdy's be any different?
Jason Mantzoukas
If you're mad at the Howdy's, unsubscribe from the podcast. You fundamentally misunderstood what we're here doing.
Paul Scheer
Well, now, Jason, I will say though, while you. While you say that with such a full voice, you have still never won a Howdy.
Jason Mantzoukas
I have not. I have not. And that. Please don't take that as an example of why I am. I think the Howdies are a corrupt organization.
Paul Scheer
Oh, my God. That's what. Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Wait, are we giving a peace prize to our president? Is the. Are we awarding a peace prize to the president? Just like the other corrupt organization known.
Paul Scheer
As FIFA, we are giving out an award to our president. We are also going to spend a majority of this episode railing against the Golden Globe organization for not nominating us for podcast. Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
I just heard they nominated podcasts. And not only were we not nominated, I assumed we would have already won.
Paul Scheer
No. Yeah, no, that's what I thought too. But no, apparently not nominated, did not win.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, those awards are bought and sold.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
But anyway, disappointing. And if you are angry about it, go somewhere else and tell them. Don't tell us you're angry about it. We're angry too.
Paul Scheer
We couldn't afford it. We couldn't do it. We were. We were. We couldn't even afford interns to figure out these howdies. We had to make Scott do it. Scott working overtime for this. Molly working overtime. So anyway, let's get into it. First Audi of the night. We have a lot to get through, obviously. First out of the night is Best Catchphrase.
Jason Mantzoukas
The nominees for best Catchphrase are Put her in a bra from episode 162, my stepmother is an Alien. Have you ever ripped a negligee open?
June Diane Raphael
No, it was then I just put.
Paul Scheer
Her in a bra. By the way, she's practically. I mean, you're seeing a lot in that scene. Anyway, just put her In a bra.
June Diane Raphael
Like, and then I loved what she wore.
Jason Mantzoukas
Keep saying, put her in a bra, you weirdo. Just like, put her in a bra.
June Diane Raphael
Stop saying it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Am I right? Why don't you write put her in a bra, but get realistic, specific.
June Diane Raphael
It's about the bra.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like, why that next lacy bra, you know, real thriller. Just throw her in a bra. Can we get wardrobe over here with some bra options? We're going to put her in it.
June Diane Raphael
Put her in it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Put her in a bra.
Paul Scheer
Put her in a bra.
Jason Mantzoukas
I like when you said throw her in it. That was more violent. I'm just going to check. Chuck her in a bra.
June Diane Raphael
First of all.
Jason Mantzoukas
Just put her right in it. That's a T shirt. Put her in a bra.
Paul Scheer
Put her in a bra is the new. Get her done.
Jason Mantzoukas
Put her in a bra. Put her in a bra. That's just a great thing to end sentences. And I told him to fuck up. Put her in a bra. $90 for cable. Put her in a bra. Hey, put her. Use your blinker, asshole. Put her in a bra.
Paul Scheer
I don't need four gelato shops on my block.
June Diane Raphael
Put her in a bra.
Jason Mantzoukas
Geostorm from episode 186. Geostorm. I love this movie. I love Geostorm. Geostorm.
Paul Scheer
This is. It's a great movie.
Jason Mantzoukas
Especially Geostorm. I would like for that to become a thing.
Paul Scheer
Oh.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would like for people to just start screaming Geostorm in public and then not answering questions as to why you did it.
Paul Scheer
I feel like the proper response would be to yell back Kumite. I feel like that would be the call and response perhaps. We are very excited to bring, I think, one of our favorite people on.
Jason Mantzoukas
The show for yourself.
Paul Scheer
Please welcome Jessica St. Clair. Welcome, Jessica.
June Diane Raphael
Thank you.
Paul Scheer
So exciting to have you here and to put you through this.
June Diane Raphael
Yep. Well, the only thing that makes me more sick than a post apocalyptic future movie is one about a natural disaster.
Jason Mantzoukas
That takes place in the future. That's right.
June Diane Raphael
One year in the future.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right.
Paul Scheer
Well, uh.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh. Geo.
June Diane Raphael
Storm.
Paul Scheer
I say Geo. You say storm.
Jason Mantzoukas
Geo. Storm. Geo Storm.
Paul Scheer
That's great.
Jason Mantzoukas
Where does the but start from? Episode 140. Mannequin 2 on the move. We have lost our minds. We are just passing around a computer, looking at naked dolls for sale on ebay. Guys, what is happening? There is a cleft there.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, I see it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Nothing there. There is a completely smooth. There's a little camel toe. There's a cloven. There's a little. There's a suggestion of an opening. There's a hint of.
Paul Scheer
Well. Cause her Butt has to start.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, her butt has to start. Where does. That brings us A good question.
Paul Scheer
Dude, that brings us.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's brings up a question. Where does the butt start, Paul?
Paul Scheer
Well, I'm saying this.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hey, where does the butt start?
June Diane Raphael
Do me a favor. Look up naked Barbie ass or butt.
Paul Scheer
I can't. I can't. All right, so this is. This is a naked Barbie butt right here. And then there we go. Look at that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Okay. That is genital.
Paul Scheer
And it goes underneath. You see, it goes in between.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God. What? Well, that's the same thing. The Ken was an old one that had that under.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, we're gonna be putting all that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Guys, what is throw up? Guys, I love that this is where this podcast has gone. You guys need a how did this get made T shirt. That's just Barbie crotch. Yep. And it says where does the butt. How does this get made? Where does the butt start?
Paul Scheer
Well, here's a comparison. Oh, this is interesting. 90s. This is interesting. 90s Barbie. 90s Barbie has underwear.
Jason Mantzoukas
Really?
Paul Scheer
But 2000's Barbie doesn't.
Jason Mantzoukas
What about earlier? Well, that's like. That's the same as pubic hair.
June Diane Raphael
That's not true, Paul.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the same as pubic hair. Cause 90s Barbie had a landing strip. In 2000 Barbie had nothing. Oh, my gosh. Oh, boy. This is pretty great.
Paul Scheer
I love it all. Well, I think we've talked about everything in this movie that. Oh, I did want to say when that guy. When the bad guy is now re put back together, like, I love it.
Jason Mantzoukas
We're not, Paul. We're not gonna recover from this. We're never gonna recover. This is what this show is about. Fuck the moon. From episode 294, Moonfall. What's up, jerks? Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. Fuck the moon. That's what I'm talking about. La.
Paul Scheer
Oh.
Jason Mantzoukas
When every time they showed the space shuttle said fuck the moon, I was like, this is the best. Wow. I mean, these are all bangers. These are all bangers. Really?
Paul Scheer
I mean, when you look at back, it's like Mannequin two on the move. I believe we were still in the Earwolf studio.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, I for sure. With Agee. I remember this.
June Diane Raphael
I remember. Gosh. See, see, I'm getting a little confused because where does the butt start? It sort of reminds me of when Paul had to draw out the picture of the sex pillow.
Paul Scheer
Yes. That's a different night.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, we looked it up. I think we Looked it up online. We were looking at pictures of Barbies online or something. That's right.
Paul Scheer
So we don't know where the butt starts.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, put her in a bra. So good. So funny. Geostorm, though, to me is. Has taken over it. People yell it to me all. Just recently in New York, multiple people yelled it to me on the street. It is so. It looms so large.
Paul Scheer
Gerard Butler yell Geostorm.
June Diane Raphael
That's right.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, you know, that's kind of.
June Diane Raphael
The name of the podcast in many ways, and maybe we should have submitted that for Golden Globe.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's blowing my mind that three of the Howdy eligible catchphrases all came within the same 40 episodes. Episode 140, episode 162 and episode 186.
June Diane Raphael
Wow, what a.
Jason Mantzoukas
So they're all that. What a fertile era of the podcast.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, the golden age of how did this get made?
Jason Mantzoukas
If we were to have gone all the way to contemporary current time, I do think brace yourself would be.
Paul Scheer
Brace yourself would be in the mix. But I appreciate that we don't chase it. It happens. It happens organically.
Jason Mantzoukas
We don't chase it. We brace it.
June Diane Raphael
That also, like, I just don't. I don't want us moving forward to start pandering to the Howdies.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right.
Paul Scheer
We don't want to be creating catchphrases, really.
June Diane Raphael
I want us to be, you know, just really rigorous and. And really have each of us have our own standards. Like, it's not about the Howdy's now.
Paul Scheer
Look, we don't know what the arbitrary win will be here. Obviously we all believe it's Geostorm, but.
June Diane Raphael
The Howdy I said, I did.
Paul Scheer
Okay, June, would you like to guess?
June Diane Raphael
You know, I have a special place in my heart for where does the butt start? Because what I want us to remember about it is that it was said. It wasn't delivered as a joke.
Paul Scheer
Got it.
June Diane Raphael
It was in the spirit of inquiry where he was trying to really understand the anatomy of the mannequin and where the butt started.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's also, for me, still don't know. One of the very. I remember very memorable times when the entire podcast stopped down for minutes so that we could just laugh. We just. Yes, this caught us and tickled us so much. Where does the butt start? That it was so. As did put her in a bra, to be honest. Two things that were said that were so. That were seized upon.
June Diane Raphael
Laughing again.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, seized upon and. And just excavated until we were just dying laughing.
June Diane Raphael
Because I think the problem with. I don't know if we ever came to a conclusion of like, where does the but start?
Paul Scheer
We. I don't think.
June Diane Raphael
I don't think we have that start below. Yeah. Does it depend where you are when you're looking at it?
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm going to. I feel like it's the kind of thing that we need to. The mistake we made was going to the Internet. I feel like we need to consult like a medical textbook.
Paul Scheer
I mean, we will see. But again, it may be all for not because we don't know who the winner is. But I will open up this fake envelope now and say that the howdy for best catchphrase goes to. Oh my gosh. Where does the butt start from? Episode 140, Mannequin 2 on the move.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Paul Scheer
There it is.
Jason Mantzoukas
Special guest Steve Agee on the episode from Peacemaker.
Paul Scheer
Yes. And you know, I was the one. You're right that to wonder where the but starts. I still don't know. And because you just wait.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why. Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do you have to say that you were the one to wonder where does the saying that I'm credit. Why do you need to like, where does the but start one?
Paul Scheer
I'm just throwing this out in the.
Jason Mantzoukas
So why do you have to take it?
Paul Scheer
I'm throwing it in my. I'm throwing it in my sack of. Of how. I just want for keeping track at home.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why do you have all the old howdies at this?
Paul Scheer
How. You know, I. I just bring them all out because it's. It's nice because if I get on the stage at the end for the.
Jason Mantzoukas
Listener, Paul has produced his howdy set, which we all have one.
Paul Scheer
Well, yeah, yours is empty.
Jason Mantzoukas
Mine is empty as it always is. And yours still has all the old howdy's in it.
Paul Scheer
I mean, June did not want me to bring them to the next place that we moved to after we had our children. And I brought them taking up a lot of room next to my Christmas village.
Jason Mantzoukas
The howdy's are huge. What a lot of people don't know is the howdy statue is quite large.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. Because we only do it a couple times. Like we really needed to make an impact one way.
Paul Scheer
And look, I don't want to take anything away from my win here, but I'm going to think of another one that didn't take on. That should have maybe been a very important catchphrase. Alan. Remember Alan? No, no, you guys don't remember Alan.
Jason Mantzoukas
Who was it in Ireland?
Paul Scheer
Remember in Ireland they kept on yelling out Alan.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, I do Catchphrase.
Paul Scheer
All right, all right. Not a catchphrase.
June Diane Raphael
That's someone's name.
Paul Scheer
All right. Well, anyway, I can't go back. We've already got the winner from episode 140. It's mannequin.
June Diane Raphael
I guess. Congratulations.
Jason Mantzoukas
I hesitate to say that.
Paul Scheer
Well, hold on. But here's the thing. You both just asked a very important question. Where does the but start? So we here at how did this get made? We used our hard earned money that we did not use to bribe the people of the Golden Globe organization. We used $9.
Jason Mantzoukas
An organization that until very recently was incredibly bribable.
Paul Scheer
Oh, very bribable. But you know what? We took our $9. That's what, that's what Sirius gave us to produce the special. We took that full $9 and we gave it to a doctor on cameo to answer the question, where does the but start?
Jason Mantzoukas
Finally. Hey, Paul, June, Jason. So the question is, where does the butt start? The problem is the butt is not.
Paul Scheer
An anatomic turbo here. I already know it's going to be disappointing.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's why there's confusion about this. It's a bit nebulous, but if you want an anatomic definition as you're working down the torso, it would start at the origin of the gluteus maximus.
Paul Scheer
Why is he so put out by this?
Jason Mantzoukas
Now Google image that anatomy of the gluteal region and you'll see where the butt starts. Hope that answers your question. Take care. Have a great day. Hope you have a remaining week filled with fluids and secretions.
Paul Scheer
What?
Jason Mantzoukas
All untainted by human pathogens. All right. Oh, God. Oh, well, I mean, I guess the, I, I appreciate the, those well wishes.
Paul Scheer
But I, I, I'm, I'm even more.
June Diane Raphael
Confused, to be quite honest.
Jason Mantzoukas
I am, too. And I feel like we must have doctors. Mustn't there be doctors who are listeners and. Yeah. And not just absolute lunatics. Who are our listeners?
Paul Scheer
I want to have a little bit more of a smile on his face for that answer.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Please weigh in, fans of the podcast who are doctors, in fact, who might.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
I just feel like he gave us an anatomical word and said Google images.
Jason Mantzoukas
He just, and he said gluteus region here.
June Diane Raphael
I just did a quick Google and I got an answer.
Paul Scheer
What did you, what do you got?
June Diane Raphael
Your butt starts at the pelvis.
Paul Scheer
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hang on.
Paul Scheer
We should have paid you $9. That's a better answer if you just said that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Pelvis.
June Diane Raphael
Your butt starts at the pelvis. From the bones, your coccyx.
Paul Scheer
But like, well, no. Now, I just googled it, June, and it said the butt starts at the iliac crest, the top of the hip bone.
June Diane Raphael
Oh, well, then maybe this is like, I don't know.
Jason Mantzoukas
These are, these are the topics that we are getting into here at the Howdy's. Now, perhaps you're thinking you're still only awarding the first howdy. If every howdy takes as long as.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, we got to move.
Jason Mantzoukas
We're going to be here a tremendous amount of time. Don't go anywhere because after the break, we'll find out whose howdy sack will be filled with the awards for most bonkers flying entities and June's most savage dislike. Be right back.

Category 2 is most bonkers Flying Entity. And the nominees are the Face in the hurricane from episode 190, the Hurricane Heist.
Paul Scheer
But what Makes this movie stand out more than anything in any movie they've ever seen in a movie of this caliber is in the opening sequence when the boys are running away from the hurricane. The house, the roof is ripped off, and what do we see? A fucking face of death. Skeleton in the clouds. The hurricane is personified as evil. Holy shit. More of that, please.
Jason Mantzoukas
That was a promise that went undelivered.
June Diane Raphael
I know.

Although the face does reappear at the end of the movie. But I was like, ooh, sentient storm. Don't mind if I do. The face in the clouds had more acting range than the faces of some of the people in this movie who will remain unnamed because I don't remember their names.
June Diane Raphael
What was really strange was that. So the face appears the first time over a terrible tragedy where these people, two boys, watch their father get run.
Paul Scheer
Over by a silo.
June Diane Raphael
Run over?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, I mean, run over by a.
Paul Scheer
Silo in the middle of a cat.
Jason Mantzoukas
The poor guy can't even go out. Like a hero trying to, like, fix his truck or whatever. He has to get run over by a. A rolling silo.
June Diane Raphael
It would have been like he's like.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like he's some ball of dough and it's the rolling pin.
June Diane Raphael
It was horrible. He should have been, like, trying to help the boys and then get sucked up into the hurricane.
Jason Mantzoukas
I love it.
June Diane Raphael
Face. But what's so strange is. So that face appears when the dad gets run over and then. But it appears again not when I'm.
Paul Scheer
Just pulling out the face. Don't worry.
Jason Mantzoukas
At the end.
June Diane Raphael
You mean at the end, but not in really a critical moment. It appears after all is. I think all is well and good and they're just sort of driving away.
Paul Scheer
It's almost like the face is like, you got me.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. That was the energy of, like, first.
Paul Scheer
Time I got you. This time you got me.
Jason Mantzoukas
Dominic Toretto's rope swinging Dodge charger from episode 271F9 the fast saga that Moves where Dom, the bridge is out. And Dom drives at the out bridge.
June Diane Raphael
Okay, that.
Jason Mantzoukas
And manages to hook a cable against the car and swing the car across the chasm and kind of like it swings and lands on the other side of the chasm in another country, in a safe country. And they survive effortlessly.
June Diane Raphael
Wait, is that the same sequence, though? Is that the bridge sequence? Because then there's the other.
Jason Mantzoukas
The other car that drives straight up the bridge.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, That's Tyrese. That's the other car. Yes, yes. Same sequence, though.
Paul Scheer
They hit the bridge. Tyrese hits the Bridge as it's falling apart like Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom style. And they're getting across it, but by the time they get to the other edge, most of the bridge has fallen down. But they were able to defy gravity and kind of just drive up the stairs.
Jason Mantzoukas
Vin Diesel sees this as he's rushing, driving towards it, and you see him realize, oh, I know what I'll do. And he does what Jason just described, and it's absolutely insane and makes zero sense. And he's shifting.
Paul Scheer
He's shifting a little bit in there too. Like not his body, but like literally the car shifter. And when that car jumps on the bottom ledge of that other mountain on the other side and it flips, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Doesn't explode like the dad's car.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're not wearing seatbelts.
Paul Scheer
They're not wearing seatbelts. The car like, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip. All the windows are broken. And when you look in the inside, Dom and Letty look like they are ready to go out on a night on the town. There's not a.
Jason Mantzoukas
Not a marker. They are not a scratch. Jonathan Livingston Siegel from episode 328 Jonathan Livingston Siegel.
Paul Scheer
How does Jonathan know anything about miles per hour?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes, great question. Not only does he know.
Paul Scheer
Standing ovation for an observation.
Jason Mantzoukas
Not only that, but he can. He knows innately the speed he's going.
Paul Scheer
Why can't I fly faster than 62 miles an hour?
Jason Mantzoukas
He gets. He says he wants to achieve perfect speed. It was like, I feel like Jonathan Livingston Seagull is going to be the next cast member of the Fast and Furious movies. Put him in.
June Diane Raphael
Put him in.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would have loved it if he had a little naus button. Come on. Boom, boom.
June Diane Raphael
It's so hard too, because we're hearing those words. But when we're cutting to the close ups of the seagulls, the.
Paul Scheer
They're the least expressive animal you could cast.
June Diane Raphael
There's nothing going on behind the eyes. There's no need for speed.
Jason Mantzoukas
Q, the winged Serpent from episode 358. Q the Winged serpent. And listen. Q is a winged serpent. And I'm certain. And is seemingly immortal. I'm not sure, but I'm gonna find.
Paul Scheer
Out what a serpent is to have.
Jason Mantzoukas
The ability to swoop in. Like having that much momentum.
June Diane Raphael
Wingspan too.
Paul Scheer
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
That much momentum, that much weight to come in, bite just his head off. It is so delicate.
June Diane Raphael
Surgical.
Jason Mantzoukas
It is so delicate. Cue. The winged serpent isn't interested in eating your whole body.
June Diane Raphael
No. Although there are times where he'll just pick A motherfucker up and fly away.
Paul Scheer
I was so excited when he finally grabbed somebody in his claw. I'm like, you got the claws. Use them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, it's the guy in the pool. It's the guy in the pool, I think is the first claw grab.
June Diane Raphael
There are a couple times in the movie like, yes, he.
Paul Scheer
Look at that winged serpent, by the way.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, in all of its glory.
June Diane Raphael
I really don't like seeing that big muscle.
Jason Mantzoukas
It looks like. I'll be honest, a thin dick.
Paul Scheer
I was going to say it looks like. It looks like someone. The winged serpent looks like someone who ate a Tootsie Roll and then tried to make it like a dick. And it's like. But it's like, I wish you were a little bit more talented.
June Diane Raphael
I got to tell you, I don't remember a single one of these. Except for the seagull, obviously.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Jonathan Livingston Seagull was, I will say, a really. And that's episode 328, you know, as opposed to the last category. A lot of these are from recent episodes. Well, more recent.
Paul Scheer
June. I'm surprised that you don't remember Cue the winged serpent as that. This was the movie that gave you a real shock and scare. You got scared from a kite in that movie. Just like one of the. The actor. You know, like the. The cue. The winged serpent definitely scared you. For me, the face in the hurricane and hurricane heist was very interesting because it's a movie about a hurricane. But then all of a sudden, we've, you know, anthropomorphized it, like, and made it human. That was odd.
Jason Mantzoukas
I remember that seemed crazy. I agree. That seemed crazy. But the experience, just from the experiential level doing the Jonathan Livingston Seagull show to easily. Easily the most combative audience we've ever performed to, that audience was furious that they had watched this.
June Diane Raphael
But by the way, I did not begrudge them that Ex. That.
Paul Scheer
Me neither.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do. Me neither.
June Diane Raphael
I was also furious. And I was a host, so it's like we were all locked in a hostage situation.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, right.
June Diane Raphael
So. And we were all together and we were all mad at each other and turning on each other.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, yeah. It felt. It was a. It was. That episode was. Was very energized. Everything. It felt like every. It feels like every time we go back to New York, we are somehow either reigniting or trying to cool down the temperatures that New York still feels for having been put through this. And yes, Giorgio, I honestly think what.
June Diane Raphael
We might need is some sort of a separate from the podcast, to be quite honest, some sort of a healing.
Jason Mantzoukas
Okay.
June Diane Raphael
Sort of sacred saging. I don't know what. But it does feel like a lot is sort of.
Jason Mantzoukas
Here's what I'll say.
June Diane Raphael
Settled.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know, we. I think we should probably do. Maybe next time we're in New York.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
We should sacrifice a seagull.
Paul Scheer
You know what? I'm glad that you brought that up.
Jason Mantzoukas
Sacrifice a seagull on stage one.
Paul Scheer
That's willing.
Jason Mantzoukas
Drink of its blood.
Paul Scheer
A willing seagull. You know, we did play when you were not there, June, but we did kind of goose the audience a little bit by playing a clip that Avril Halley made for us about Jonathan Livingston Siegel. And it did irritate them again in New York just very recently. We are definitely putting our fingers in that. In that wound. You know, we are going to. You know, I don't know. I don't know if I want to give it.
Jason Mantzoukas
We're fingering your wound, New York.
Paul Scheer
Fingering your catchphrase. Is that a catchphrase? All right, let's see what the winner is. The howdy for the most bonkers flying entity goes to. Oh, my gosh. Jonathan Livingston Siegel from episode 328. And oh, my gosh, this is actually very exciting. This is not a category I won. No, Jonathan Livingston Siegel won it. And we actually have Jonathan Livingston Seagull here. Jonathan, take it away. There we go. Wow. Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, I would. You know what we need? And this is just because I don't need to listen to seagulls talk like that all day. We need music to play the winners off.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, we do. I, I, you know. Thank you, Jonathan. You could take that. Put that in your sack. It's the last one you're gonna get. Now this next category is near and dear to my heart.
Jason Mantzoukas
It is a howdy for June's most savage dislike. And the nominees are breakdancing from episode 188, Body Rock.
June Diane Raphael
I'm going to say something that's going to be really harsh, but whenever I see someone breakdancing, I feel embarrassed for them.
Paul Scheer
I do. Did you feel embarrassed for that break dancer I just showed you?
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Paul Scheer
Did you feel embarrassed for that?
June Diane Raphael
No. I don't define what he was doing as breakdancing. Okay.
Paul Scheer
What is he doing?
June Diane Raphael
I define breakdancing as getting on the floor like a turtle. Like you're a turtle that can't flip over and just spinning around.
Jason Mantzoukas
So you equate.
June Diane Raphael
It's harder than it looks.
Jason Mantzoukas
You equate breakdancing with Helplessness.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
Jason Mantzoukas
And I'm stuck down here. I can't do that.
June Diane Raphael
I want to make this clear. It's not that I don't. You know, I'm not someone who loves, like, high art and ballet and all that stuff like this. I see where this is going, and I want to dispel that myth right away. Like, there's. I love where breakdancing came from and all that. I just. I find it unpleasant to watch. I don't judge. How is your breaking?
Paul Scheer
How is your breaking in season two?
June Diane Raphael
It's not very good. And that's where I want to say that when you try to learn stuff like this, then you realize the value, because it's very difficult. Just because something is difficult doesn't mean that it's good.
Jason Mantzoukas
Men who Drink tea from episode 255, a very nutty Christmas.
June Diane Raphael
Well, I will tell you, Jessica, I also, I don't like a man who drinks tea. Me neither. Sorry, Jason. I don't want to see a man drinking tea. I don't. I want a man. So you think black cup of coffee.
Jason Mantzoukas
So. So, June. But no, no.
Paul Scheer
You get angry at me when I drink a black cup of coffee.
June Diane Raphael
You're not gonna put anything in it? Too much.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm sorry.
June Diane Raphael
Hear the word. Sleepy time.
Jason Mantzoukas
Can I ask a question? So, June, you think hot beverages are gendered?
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. When it comes to beverages, coffee is.
Jason Mantzoukas
Boys, tea is girls.
June Diane Raphael
Me, as a heterosexual woman, I'm sure, like, I don't think it's about gender necessarily, but I. I don't want to see my partner drinking tea.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, interesting.
June Diane Raphael
I, as a heterosexual woman, I don't want to see a man drinking tea.
Jason Mantzoukas
Here's what I'll say.
June Diane Raphael
I don't want to.
Jason Mantzoukas
Here's what I'll say. I am so comfortable in my sexuality that I will crush. Okay, here, I'll show you.
Paul Scheer
Oh, my gosh. You're going to make him drink tea on camera.
June Diane Raphael
Listen, I've done live shows of Jesus. I've seen him drink a cup of tea before. Oh, God.
Jason Mantzoukas
Soothing caramel. Bedtime. Wow.
June Diane Raphael
Take an Ambien like a real man.
Jason Mantzoukas
Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Cates's sexual awakening from episode 219, Drop Dead Fred.
June Diane Raphael
She is sexually repressed.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
Phoebe Cates as a grown woman, is sexually repressed.
Paul Scheer
So she never touched his dick?
June Diane Raphael
I think she did. Because, by the way, Paul, is that your definition of a woman?
Jason Mantzoukas
What is happening? What is happening?
Paul Scheer
We doing.
Jason Mantzoukas
What is this? What are we doing? My pa. Is. This is irresponsible. This is outrageous.
June Diane Raphael
So disturbed that you just said that.
Jason Mantzoukas
We can't live like this.
Paul Scheer
What I was saying was Fred seems so shocked at seeing a penis.
June Diane Raphael
No, Paul.
Paul Scheer
No.
June Diane Raphael
What you're saying, what you just said.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
Is that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
What you just said and implied is that for her to be fully, sexually, actually awake in her own body.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
The only way we would know that is if she touched a dick or not.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes. No, no, no.
June Diane Raphael
Yourself, my friend.
Paul Scheer
Wow. Wow. Wow. Do you remember any of that? Wow.
June Diane Raphael
I do. I don't. I do remember that. I do remember that. And looking back, you know, by the way, I'm not afraid to evolve.
Paul Scheer
I love that.
June Diane Raphael
You know, the way I felt in some of these moments may not be the way I feel now in terms of breakdancing. In terms of men, especially men who drink tea. I've come around on it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, interesting.
June Diane Raphael
Quite a bit. But I absolutely, 100% today feel the same way about what Paul said about Phoebe Cates.
Jason Mantzoukas
I agree.
June Diane Raphael
I feel the same way today as I did on that day. Not.
Jason Mantzoukas
And I support you just as much today as I did. Wow.
Paul Scheer
Okay. Well, look, I don't want to.
Jason Mantzoukas
I will always have your back on this. And I feel like. Here's what I'm saying. I'm willing to say to you, Paul.
Paul Scheer
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Please get fucked, buddy. No.
Paul Scheer
Okay, okay. Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
This is. I feel like Drop Dead Fred is an episode that we should. Is maybe the only movie we should ever redo.
Paul Scheer
Well, I think it's a very misunderstood movie by the both of you, so.
June Diane Raphael
Or.
Jason Mantzoukas
Or we do an episode where Casey comes on and the four of us listen to the episode and react to the episode, because that's something I've never done. I've never listened. I've, of course, experienced the episode, but I've never listened to it. So I wonder if there would be value in recording an episode or doing, like, one of these live streams or. Or something where the show is just an analysis of the episode.
Paul Scheer
Well, that's.
June Diane Raphael
And I'd love to see how we feel now. I mean, I would hope you and Casey would have evolved.
Jason Mantzoukas
Got it. If not, you should be. You should be locked up.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. And it's so interesting, Jason, because I think for a long time I was very aware, like, oh, Paul and I are married in real life. And, you know, I don't ever want to feel kind of like, excluded because we have our own thing. I don't ever want him to feel like we're ganging up on Him. And after Drop Dead Fred, I actually then worried about PA being so separate from us. Of course, you know, so different.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Oh, yeah. So alone and aligned with Casey. You know what I mean? Like, just knowing, like, when in his darkest moments, all he has Casey to cling to, not either of us, you know?
Paul Scheer
And this kind of speaking that you guys are both doing, this man, Woman speaking that you guys are having is to me indicative of very much a team sanity point of view. Not a free, lovin', freewheeling discussion. Very pointed. Very much coming with consequence. And so I do think you've evolved. You've evolved to team sanity.
Jason Mantzoukas
You don't tell us we evolved. Hey, you don't tell us we've evolved.
Paul Scheer
Anyway, the howdy for June's most savage dislike goes to Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Cate's sexual awakening from episode 219, Drop Dead Fred. So I'm going to take that one here.
June Diane Raphael
That's not for you.
Paul Scheer
Put it in my sack.
Jason Mantzoukas
How does that not go to June? These are June's most savage dislikes.
Paul Scheer
Is this. Yes, I assisted that one.
June Diane Raphael
Well, we all assisted all of these. First of all, I can tell you, we all led you into the catch.
Paul Scheer
My thoughts. My thoughts assisted that. So I want to split.
Jason Mantzoukas
So, like, if. If it was. If men who drink tea.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Had won, I would get it because I was the tea drinker in question.
Paul Scheer
Well, it's. I would have to talk to the judge.
Jason Mantzoukas
I got him. I fucked him.
Paul Scheer
I would have to talk to the judge about that. I would have to. Because I. I believe that June was basing that men who drink tea on the film. Then you just happen to drink.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, this is real. Here's what I will say.
Paul Scheer
I'm gonna.
June Diane Raphael
So unreal.
Paul Scheer
I'm gonna ving Rhames this and give to June. June, would you like to say anything?
June Diane Raphael
No, I first of all, like, I don't want to accept it. Of course. It's my award. I'm going to take it. Right.
Paul Scheer
I just gave it to.
June Diane Raphael
You got it. And now I have it. I'm gonna put it in my sack.
Paul Scheer
All right. That's great. It's great. And I will say, large. Yeah. Paul's name is on that. No, June is on that award. If you look at that. Engrave his own name on Paul's thoughts on Phoebe Cates.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wait, how are the. How are the winners already engraved before the envelopes have even been opened again?
Paul Scheer
This is serious. Trying to get ahead of the curve. They were. They. If we could.
Jason Mantzoukas
I just want to say this organization is corrupt. I don't believe in it. I think I'm willing to say now I bet I'm going to win none.
Paul Scheer
You know, don't, don't, don't think that, Jason. Don't think that.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know what? I'm trying to go in with an open mind, but I don't like how this is going. Kids, tell your parents you're staying up late tonight because there are plenty more howdies up for grabs after this brief word from our sponsors.

Jason Mantzoukas
Best Second Opinion Review and the nominees are Chieftain's review of the Phantom from episode 142 the Phantom.
Paul Scheer
This movie rocks. And yes, I'd say that into anyone's face because this guy taught me to stand up to bullies and to do what was right when I saw something going on that was wrong? Sure, it got me punched by a few. Sorry. Sure, it got me punched a few times. But it's movies and ideas like this that make a person stronger than he or she thinks that they are. And it creates something that I like to call character. The one thing that's actually lacking in the things that most kids see nowadays besides respect.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
Paul Scheer
So call me an old crab apple, say that I'm over the hill and even laugh at me as I walk past you. But God, I'll be right there saving you when you need me to. So go ahead and put this movie down as a flop. Go right ahead and listen to that idiot friend of yours that smokes that crap and tries to turn you to his side by putting guys like this down. See how far you'll get listening to him. Or rent this or Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino and Sit down with your. And sit down with your kids and teachers them a thing or two about how a person should react in the face of danger. How respecting another person can make people proud. Because that's what this world needs now, kids that we can be proud of. Enough said. Five stars.
June Diane Raphael
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's amazing. Rush N Shill's review of Ronal the Barbarian from episode 341. Ronal the Barbarian.
Paul Scheer
Get ready for this next one. Just wanted to kind of lay the groundwork with this. Rush N Schill in November of 2013 wrote a review titled Great movie. And here we go. The Young Mariners Society is a small nautical league of aspiring seafaring boys that I run from my boat here in Iowa.
Jason Mantzoukas
Hang on a second.
June Diane Raphael
This is a confession.
Jason Mantzoukas
I'm so sorry. True or false? Iowa, landlocked.
Paul Scheer
We spend countless nights on my boat just a few yards from the lake.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is this admissible in court? I'll turn it over to Lockhart and Gardner to figure out if they can figure it out. That's right. I'm into season five of the Good Wife. Everybody.
Paul Scheer
Get ready when I show up. Who am I? Ooh, I'm a lawyer. Okay, here we go. I love that show. Eventually, when the repairs are complete, we'll take the boat out on the water. I know I worked those boys hard this summer, but it was the only way I knew how to prepare them for manhood. Much of their training was based off the television show Deadliest Catch, along with movies Cabin Boy and Down Periscope.
Jason Mantzoukas
What? Kids should not watch some of those.
Paul Scheer
Upon graduation, several of my well instructed little seamen have taken upon themselves little Seamen have taken upon themselves the distinguished title of Mariner. Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys. I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities.
June Diane Raphael
I just got to remind everyone this is an Amazon review. Yeah, I just don't want to get lost in the sauce. Like someone wrote this.
Jason Mantzoukas
This isn't an article where they're like, we uncovered this journal entry from the most prolific Iowan pedophile in history.
June Diane Raphael
This is an Amazon review.
Paul Scheer
Okay, Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities to enjoy a little R and R with a movie night. Without a doubt, they earned it. This movie was selected for its theme of maturation from boy to man to everyone's delight, this movie was a hit. Family values galore. And no home should be complete without it. Five stars.
Jason Mantzoukas
I don't know what's going on unless that has been written from jail. I am flummoxed by that. Jay's review of 50 Shades of Gray from episode 33850 Shades of Gray this.
Paul Scheer
Movie was very hot and steamy. I am very happy with the purchase of this movie. It was definitely worth the buy. It made me all tingly inside. The actors were quality actors. Anna was a little annoying, but I would buy the movie again. I mean I would recommend buying this movie for a little bit of romance in your life. The movie was definitely hardcore and I think I would buy the movie again. I even bought the sequel to the book and I'm super excited for 50 Shades Darker to come out in theaters. I have a whole year to wait, but I'm really excited for it to come out. I love the movie so much that I can't wait. I watched this again last night before I went to bed and then I woke up and watch it again and I started thinking about it.
June Diane Raphael
Nope.
Paul Scheer
You should totally buy this movie and you should buy the book. It will make you feel hot. You will definitely need a napkin after watching this movie. Christian is an amazing actor and he is so hot. I would buy this movie.
Jason Mantzoukas
Christian is an amazing actor.
Paul Scheer
I would buy this movie 904 million more times purchase this. This story is well written and whenever I was watching this movie it put me in an amazing mood. I was always better after reading these novels and watching this movie. I would say buy it and I would say watch it alone and then read the book alone too. And then you'll be fine. Feeling like a million bucks in no time.
June Diane Raphael
That guy died in an ocean of his own gin.
Jason Mantzoukas
Rip hold on, we should cut.
June Diane Raphael
I am a mom, Rip.
Paul Scheer
And my kids drive me absolutely crazy. They yell all the time, and whenever I get them down for naps, I pull out my Kindle and I start reading this book. Or I bring out my iPad and I watch it. I forget about being a mom for a few minutes and I can actually fantasize about being the character. And then I'm snapped back into reality. When they wake up and I wait for them to sleep, I start counting the minutes until they are sleeping so I can read my book and watch my movie. I even pull it out while the kids are watching TV or my husband is watching the game. I would recommend this movie to all my girlfriends. It is a hot read and definitely something I would watch again.
Jason Mantzoukas
I already have.
Paul Scheer
These kind of movies are my favorite. I love the dominance of the male character and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Buy this movie for a bit of hot and heavy romance. You will not be dissatisfied. Happy watching. Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy with the purchase of this movie.
Jason Mantzoukas
Five stars. Whoa. Oh, my God.
Paul Scheer
Wow. Again, another category where I am so serving up some great. Can I just say one thing?
June Diane Raphael
You didn't write these reviews. Okay? So you.
Jason Mantzoukas
You read them.
June Diane Raphael
That's you.
Jason Mantzoukas
You. This is. You always read the Amazon reviews. You didn't write these.
Paul Scheer
Okay, sure, sure, sure.
June Diane Raphael
And actually a couple times, Jason, where I've said to him, like, we can read them too.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, Scott, cut this part out. Cut this part out.
June Diane Raphael
No, leave it in. We could read them.
Paul Scheer
Cut this part out.
June Diane Raphael
You want to read them. You do read them like this. But any one of us could. We all.
Jason Mantzoukas
And the reality is that the people that wrote these reviews are deserving of the award.
Paul Scheer
You.
Jason Mantzoukas
You are the middleman in this.
Paul Scheer
Okay, all right, sure.
June Diane Raphael
You know, say one other thing. Paul and I don't want to do this. I want this to be a night of celebration.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, I would love it to be like.
June Diane Raphael
But. But, like, you don't even curate. You don't even go through and look at all the reviews and pick them. You are handed a packet from our producers.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, like, what if. What if I got handed the package?
Paul Scheer
You know, Molly.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, Molly probably get the award.
Paul Scheer
Molly. Look, Molly definitely gives me a list that I then curate, you know, so.
June Diane Raphael
Again, it is go through a couple that she gives because she's gone through all of them.
Paul Scheer
Hmm. Interesting. Here's what I'll say.
Jason Mantzoukas
I bet. I bet this. I bet Molly doesn't even have a howdy sack.
Paul Scheer
Molly like, Molly, do you Have a howdy sack.
Jason Mantzoukas
I have an off brand howdy sack.
June Diane Raphael
I made it myself.
Paul Scheer
But it's just as good as all of your fancy howdy sacks.
June Diane Raphael
By the way, Jason, do you see how big Paul's howdy sack is?
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, it's, you know what?
Paul Scheer
Got to hold all them.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, it's, it's bigger than the one I was given 10 years ago. So that means Paul has had new howdy sacks made and he has. The one that he made for himself is bigger than the one. I never even got this new one.
Paul Scheer
You know, look, look, I, I, I didn't have time to get it in the mail.
June Diane Raphael
All the sheets off of our bed and sewed them together.
Paul Scheer
Yes, I did.
Jason Mantzoukas
If you're at home and you want to make yourselves a howdy sack and show it off Paul, where should they send the pictures?
Paul Scheer
They should send the pictures. Put it on the discord. The disconnected discord. You can put it in it. Yeah. Sor. All right, well, you know what? All of that to be said, whether I'm deserving of this or Molly is or Scott, who cares? Let's not argue about it. Let's just say that the winner for the best second opinion review goes to. Oh, this is a good one. Jay's review of Fifty Shades of Gray from episode 339, Fifty Shades of Gray. This, this is, honestly, I have to say, all kidding aside, I want to be very serious. One of the best five star reviews ever. It's it.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
This is a, this is an unraveling.
Paul Scheer
It is like it's a woman on the verge. Yes. And in the honesty in which they can reveal themselves in the five star review, and we know we're weeding out the people who are trying to just get on the show. This is not someone trying to get on the show. This is somebody who is very much into 50 shades of gray.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah, no, the earnestness and the revelatory confessions inside of it are pretty amazing.
Paul Scheer
Pretty amazing. Now, moving on. You know, our movies tend to have a lot of heroic first responders, but thankfully those first responders don't always make the smartest decisions.
Jason Mantzoukas
Most baffling choice by a first responder. And the nominees are. The paramedic who used her hair clip as a clamp from episode 315, ambulance. Jake and, and Will and Cam are sweating.
Paul Scheer
And then they open this poor dude up.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah, his spleen explodes.
Paul Scheer
They use a hair clip as a.
Jason Mantzoukas
Clamp and it works. And she, I mean, she takes it.
Paul Scheer
From her disgusting, dirty hair.
Jason Mantzoukas
Doesn't you know, like normally in a movie, like when they're doing like fake surgery, like in a restaurant with a pen knife, she'll take some vodka and pour it on the knife. She did not even bother to take.
Paul Scheer
Any rubbing alcohol in the back of.
Jason Mantzoukas
This rig to fix her disgusting hair clip. She puts it in there and then closes him up. And he's fine. And he's fine. By the end of the movie, he's fine. Oh, my God, it's just so great. He's in better shape than everybody else in the movie. He's like, I saw everything. I know what's up. And they're like, my guy, you have a banana clip in your body. And then he's like, you've got a scrunchie in your body. Did you have your hand in me? And she's like, oh, yeah. I was way in there. And she said, I'm up in his guts. She said, he's like, he's coming too. He's coming too. No, I'm up in his guts. What?
June Diane Raphael
It's interesting because in these movies, I. I did have the thought at one point, like, oh, Michael Bay is going to want her hair down. He's going to want to get her hair down. Oh, and the way he did it.
Jason Mantzoukas
I love. I love this is successful.
June Diane Raphael
It. It was successful. And it was also like, wow, could not have imagined that.
Paul Scheer
Oh, my God.
June Diane Raphael
You know what?
Jason Mantzoukas
Read these texts. Thank you.
Paul Scheer
No, she really is going to expect the shit out of this.
Jason Mantzoukas
The lady cop who cooked latkes from episode 343, samurai cop and I'll talk about this.
Paul Scheer
They pour hot oil on the lady cop. And I kept on thinking, what is she making? French fries.
Jason Mantzoukas
How much hot oil? Hang on. She is at the. She's at the stove, right? She takes the thing. Frying pan off the stove, goes to the freezer. She goes to the freezer, opens it, bends down to do I don't know.
June Diane Raphael
What, cool it off.
Jason Mantzoukas
Comes back up and is back up at the thing.
June Diane Raphael
I was haunted.
Jason Mantzoukas
By doing what? She also has a large bandage on her calf.
June Diane Raphael
I didn't see that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Which I was unsettled by.
June Diane Raphael
I didn't see that.
Paul Scheer
Maybe Joe Samurai tried to put it in the wrong place.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right. Right here.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
With his little dick.
June Diane Raphael
I. I really wonder. So when she went to the freezer, I was like, is she cooling off the oil? Like, did it get too hot? But that amount of oil, just business. What was she doing with it? Latkes.
Paul Scheer
I mean, how does she.
June Diane Raphael
Sunday make Sense of it.
Paul Scheer
Sunday is latke day.
Jason Mantzoukas
Frozen latkes.
June Diane Raphael
Of course.
Jason Mantzoukas
It's the only thing that makes sense. She's preparing frozen latkes, by the way.
Paul Scheer
Can we just talk about the timeline of that day?
Jason Mantzoukas
Holy shit.
Paul Scheer
That. That should be. That should be the shirt. Lady cop Latkers.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, my God, I love that. The paramedics who treat all wounds with chest Compressions from episode 346, Madame Webb. Thank God. She has taught all three girls the only piece of health, the only piece of life saving. She's taught them all cpr. Chest compressions are good for everything. Every single call, she goes on as a paramedic. Chest compressions. You would think from this movie. Because there's somebody, the EMT who gets injured in the ambulance and he's covered in blood, he's clearly has injuries and she's just giving him chest. I believe he would have lived if she had treated. If she treated his actual injuries.
Paul Scheer
She pushed his heart out of his body.
Jason Mantzoukas
He had open wounds and she just was like, chest compressions.
Paul Scheer
I will say this. One of the cool things that they do in that sequence is how they have to work together to do a chest compression. Because, you know, sometimes you get like tired and you're like, somebody get in here. Finish my chest compression.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's after minutes. After minutes. They switch after like five seconds.
June Diane Raphael
Yes. But I was actually glad. As somebody who's always up to date on her cpr, I was glad. Thank you so much. I was glad to see. See, like, yeah, people do get tired. If you're doing it correctly, you do tire out pretty quickly. And so it is important for other people to come in on the beat.
Jason Mantzoukas
Absolutely.
Paul Scheer
And by the way, I agree with all this, but it would also lead me to believe that at the end they would all take turns to revive.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, they didn't do that.
Paul Scheer
Only two. Yep, only two.
Jason Mantzoukas
They do switch once.
Paul Scheer
Why? After like two pumps, you're calling them.
Jason Mantzoukas
A two pump chump. You're calling these teenage girls. Paul Scheer is calling these teenage girls two pump chumps.
June Diane Raphael
Wow.
Paul Scheer
And the howdy for most baffling choice by a first responder goes to. Yes, the paramedics who treat open wounds with chest Compressions from episode 346, Madame Web.
Jason Mantzoukas
I mean, from one of our absolute favorite, Madame Web. I mean, love it. Really wonderful stuff. We love. We love to be able to visit again to step foot in the webiverse.
Paul Scheer
I love that. And also I remember, I think I'm correct in this, that we do have a shirt with bloody handprints on it that says, like, I went to Madame Web's CPR school, which I do. I do enjoy Madame Web. The gift that keeps on giving. Really, truly.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like something that will, I think, live on for a long time. It is. It's a special one. More so than Morbius, More so than a lot of the other ones in this world that we did. This one is. This one's pretty spectacular.
Paul Scheer
Oh. Unfortunately, Adam Scott could not be here tonight. Yes. But he did want me to say something, share it with you all. Paul, when you take on the responsibility, great power will come. Wow. Pretty solid words. And you know what? I will just accept this award on his behalf. Yeah, I'm gonna take the responsibility here.
Jason Mantzoukas
So this is how you win.
Paul Scheer
Let me just put that in my sack and say thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas
This should go, cuz you zipped it up.
June Diane Raphael
See, there's a lock on there.
Jason Mantzoukas
How do you have a.
Paul Scheer
You.
Jason Mantzoukas
You have a luggage lock on your Howie bag?
Paul Scheer
Yeah, of course. I. These are hot items. I mean, you know, you see some of these on ebay. June.
Jason Mantzoukas
June, yes.
Paul Scheer
Saw some of them on ebay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Have you been selling your How?
June Diane Raphael
I haven't been selling. I've been selling Paul's howdy sacks.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, smart.
June Diane Raphael
Because there have been so many.
Paul Scheer
Well, there was a couple left in that one. That last one. There's a couple left in there.
June Diane Raphael
Please don't know.
Paul Scheer
Okay, Please. Anyway, I'll take this award. I'm throwing it in my sack.
Jason Mantzoukas

Hosts: Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Jason Mantzoukas
This special episode of "How Did This Get Made?" marks the long-awaited return of the “Annual” Howdie Awards, a not-so-annual celebration of the podcast’s most memorable moments. Despite 15 years of the show, this is only the third Howdies ceremony—a fact the hosts repeatedly lampoon. With Paul, June, and Jason in top form, the trio revisits standout bits, inside jokes, second opinion Amazon reviews, and baffling movie scenes from the show's history, covering episode 139 (“Simply Irresistible”) through episode 376 (“Driven”).
The episode is half roast, half celebration—featuring classic catchphrases, wild listener reviews, and plenty of good-natured squabbling over awards. No voting. No democracy. Just hilarious, arbitrary wins as chosen by your hosts.
Segments: 10:05–20:06
Nominees:
Classic Banter:
Winner:
Where does the butt start? from episode 140
Memorable Moment:
Upon winning, the hosts try to finally answer the question by consulting a doctor on Cameo (who says: “it would start at the origin of the gluteus maximus”) and via Google.
June: “Your butt starts at the pelvis.” (23:50)
Paul: “We should have paid you $9. That’s a better answer if you just said that.” (23:54)
Segments: 26:26–36:58
Segments: 37:09–45:20
Segments: 48:03–58:51
Segments: 59:01–66:47

Part 1 of this “Annual” Howdie Awards is a riotous best-of, packed with classic catchphrases, enduring inside jokes, and even fresher bits. The episode encapsulates the chaotic energy and camaraderie that’s endeared “How Did This Get Made?” to its long-time fans, while also paradoxically celebrating just how gloriously inefficient the Howdies remain.
Tease for Part 2:
The show ends with Jason playfully wondering if he’ll finally win a Howdy, promising more categories and shenanigans in the next episode.
