Welcome back to the third How Did This Get Made Howdydy Awards, where we'll be continuing our celebration of the finest moments of the last 9 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 covered 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 Sheer take it away. 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 Sinclair's Faber Eggs from episode 181, Freejack.

Why have we decided that Faber eggs are a the universal symbol of something priceless?

I think my my relatives in South Philly had a couple of those Fabra eggs. Wait, what? No.

Yes. Right. Nope. No. No. with like the leo, you know, like like the shepherd girl

with a shepherd girl. No, they had like yadro figurines. Yadros. That's what that Isn't that the same as a Fabra egg?

WHAT ARE YOU? YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU SEEN ONE. Where have YOU SEEN A FABRA EGG?

WHERE? YOUR FAMILY IMPORTED THEM. NO FAMILY HAS. NOBODY HAS FABRA EGGS. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? YOU'RE SAYING LIKE, "OH, MY FAMILY had Fabra EGGS AND HMEL FIGURINES." SAME. Are you insane? That is categorically impossible.

FABER EGGS ARE SOMETHING PAUL THAT ONLY I did is a fab were made between 1885 and 1917. They were made for uh the Russian Zars, Alexander the third, Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers. How many of them are in South Philly?

They just a quick count. How many are currently? YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I come from.

I will tell you this. So, there are 65 known fabri. Oh, okay. Seven have survived to the present day.

10 are displayed in the Kremlin. Okay. Okay. So, that leaves how many? That leaves some 40 odd. So, OH, YES. YOU ARE SO WRONG. You're incredibly wrong.

You are outrageously wrong. Wait a second. Wait a second. YOU JUST SAID ON THE PODCAST, I THINK MY family in South Philly has a couple a couple of fabra eggs at their own in South Philly. Let me just say something. Yins don't have any fabric eggs in South Philly. The stripster club strip club from episode 193 Blues Brothers 2000. So I'm passing to Jason um I'm passing to Jason the logo of the club which is in neon. It says stripster. June is falling out of her seat. NO. THAT'S IT. BLACK IT OUT. WE'RE GOING HOME.

THANK YOU, CHICAGO. THIS HAS BEEN GREAT. THE SHOW IS OVER. THE SERIES is over. It's a wrap on How Did This Get Made. You did it, AKROID. YOU BROKE THE SHOW. CONGRATULATIONS. YOUR DREAM came true.

Holy [ __ ] Stripster. What world are we living in? THAT'S NOT COOL. WHAT? AND LIKE MY GOOD FRIEND PAUL SAYS, and no titties, you're going TO CALL IT A STRIPSTER CLUB. AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO LET SCRIBBLES GET AN EYEBALL ON SOME TITTIES? COME ON, ACROYID. IF I'M NOT GETTING hard 2,000 times, then why am I seeing Blues Brothers 2000?

HERE I GET. WHO AM I? WHO AM I? READ. READ. READ. STRIPSTER. NOPE. Not doing it. Jim Belalushi. WHAT? STRIPSTER CLUB. [ __ ] 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 is the only option. Wait, what's his name? What's your name? Dave, Dave, Dave,

[ __ ] you. We watched Oogie Loves. You watched Oogie Loves. We made you watch it. Nothing else was considered Oogie Loves. And if we come BACK TO DETROIT, OOGIE LOVES, TOO. 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 going to watch every goddamn sequel of these movies just because you whined about it. DETROIT, TOUGHEN UP. You're supposed TO BE STRONG. DETROIT, BRING IT.

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 if I" 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 ugly 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 this. If 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. You don't need to listen to this. Get 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 know, you can subscribe someone else.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the right way. Anyway, uh this is an award that I've been, you know, and look, it's been means a lot to me. Uh obviously Wait, 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 this award. Well, we'll see. Well, I mean, look, you're right. Uh, you know, you you came in here didn't think you're going to win an award. So, let's

cuz this is a Jason Rant, so this is tailor made for me. Let's see. The howdy for best subject of a Jason Rant goes to Jessica St. Claire's Faber eggs from episode 181. Free Jack.

Wow. But wait, congratulations, Jessica. Wait, no. Jessica gets it. Jessica. Well, I mean,

no. Well, yeah. Jessica, I'm so sorry, Jessica. We're 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 Yeah, her eggs. I don't think we should be talking about Sinclair's eggs on the podcast like this. This is like very personal.

But, you know, Jessica got it. Let's not take anything away from Jess. We love this.

Okay. But that is [ __ ] because you're telling me Listen, it is hard. This one This one I can I know is a hard loss for you. Actually, as I sit here and think about it, it really should go to Jessica's X. But my rants are my thing. My rants are I'm all for my I know. But if you have nothing to rant about, then what?

Okay. I You know what? I see what's happening. Okay. The writing's on the wall. Okay. The fix is in. Okay. All right. I get it. 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.

Sack. I mean, look, it is. It's very small. It's a stuff sack. It's a Tom Bin stuff sack. Boy, I'd love it if Tom Bin made howdy sack. I do think it would be nice if maybe you talked to Jessica and

Oh god, do I have to? And and the howdy spent a little time in her place and a little time in your place.

You know what? Shared cust. Okay, Jason, this this is maybe for you. New rule, Jason. Right. That's what you always do whenever you do your rand.

Is this club random? Well, that's I thought that's the way you do it. You whenever you get into a rant, you go new rule. Right.

I That's Bill Maher. Oh, I thought that was you. Oh, wow. This is This is humbling.

New rule. Next year, Jason will get a Howdy. Uh, anyway. Yeah, but I mean that next year is probably in nine years.

There could be another Howdy Awards show in a week or eight years. We don't know that 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. Like

we actually can't really pander. It's that's true. That's true. You know what I mean? It's like you got to be in all the time.

You know that all the Oscar movies are coming out in December. Like for us it's just like we got to be ready whenever whenever

at the drop of a hat at the drop of a dead Fred. Um you we might be called upon to Howdy. Well, here's the thing. And you know, we've been giving out a lot of awards. I've certainly taken home my fair share. I'm like the studio here. And I'm going to tell you that uh tonight uh we're not just taking home awards for ourselves. We're also uh opening it to everyone. And our next award is not an award necessarily, but um 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 Sman, Tim from Largo, Ben Cannon, Leah from Chicago, Jafar. That's just to name a few. Uh, I love I love our our ultimate fans. The ones who come in costumes, the ones who come with a notepad, the ones remember that guy for the Blues Brothers episode who came with a a binder, a full binder. It's amazing to me like people come in costumes, people come 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 to say is the best nerd in the sense that he that never makes it about himself. Tim is like under the radar.

Yes. Like in this category, I think. Yeah. I feel like Tim shares like despite himself like he it's not, you know, he's just trying to get information out, but he he takes no pleasure in the spotlight.

No, not at all. The only spotlight he seeks is is just to attack um James Acastaster.

Yes. Yes. Oh my god, I forgot about that. Now, do you you were saying that James Acastaster did stumble upon that shirt that we made. Uh James projector. He did text me and say, "What is this?"

Uh, did not realize this projector shirt. Did not realize that we uh that we would actually make the shirt that we did today. We were going to make in the show.

Oh my god, that was by the way, speaking of shirts, uh we have re-released our our first two shirts, our a ridiculous cage shirt and our what's its mission shirts. You can get them in the Tublic store. Um, all right. So, without any further ado, though, I I I think that there is one one nerd who rose to legendary status. He showed up in Philadelphia and knew something about Dungeons and Dragons. Knew everything about Dungeons and Dragons.

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 and Dragons person with the mic. They understand their world.

This is respect. This is respect. And now, let me ask you one more question. This is probably the 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 uh good ones are named after crayons in the box and the uh sorry the 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. This is so helpful. Now can I ask

I just gonna be Yeah. It's just like WE DIDN'T PROMPT THIS CHANT. THIS IS AN ORGANIC CHANT.

You know what? You could take out your phones and take a picture of Morgan. Yeah.

Yeah. Out of curiosity, Morgan. As a D and D, I'm assuming fan since childhood. Is

pretty much. Pretty much. Did was there Did you have feelings on this specific movie when it came out?

Great question, Jason. Thank you, June. Yeah. Were you described myself in my questions?

Yeah, that was a great question. I'm vain like a dragon. Oh, Magenta Manzukus with my horde of treasure and gold like Smog.

Smog is actually a great example of like Go to hell, MORGAN. was just going to say Smog is a great example of like what D&D dragons are actually like. Uh

I did not see this movie as a child actually, probably because my parents shielded me from it. Um

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 [ __ ] idiots don't. I hated it. Yeah. So, okay. And then I I will let you go, I think. Or maybe have to pull up another chair.

We have a fourth chair. But but um when you're a player in the game, can like could I sign like could I join as a dragon or I'd be a thief or I'd be an elf? You could join as a dragon at certain tables.

Got it. You've said enough. I'm not welcome everywhere. It's It's not a default assumption that you can do that. But

let me say this. If you're inviting me to play your D and D game, I better be able to be a goddamn champ.

You if you want to play my D and D game, you can be a goddamn champ. I'm in. Wow.

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?

Uh, maybe. 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. GIVE IT UP FOR MORGAN, A PHILADELPHIA HERO. And that's why our howdy for best nerd in the audience goes to the one, the only Morgan from episode 335, Dungeons and Dragons. And here is Morgan accepting this prestigious award.

I actually don't appreciate being called a nerd. No, it's like nah, 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.

Oh, wow. Okay. Uh, I will. Wow. That and he just ended on that. That was a real mic throwdown.

He challenge. Yeah, he's looking like expecting that kind of acceptance speech. So, it's interesting to see what people do big moments.

Do you see this? I And I just got this note passed from Scott here uh that on behalf of Morgan since he couldn't be here. I will take uh the Morgan's award. I will don't worry about it. Yeah, I will take it. I will take his address me.

Yeah. Well, 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. Uh, we'll figure that. I think again, it's about

be in Philadelphia anytime soon. Uh, we were just there. Come on now. Come on now.

Why do you I have a quick question. Why do you already have so much shelf space cleared out in the in the bookshelf?

I was hoping I was hoping that you were hoping or you knew. I was just I I thought Look, look. Okay, everybody needs to chill the [ __ ] 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. These awards thrive here. Anyway, our next category, best second opinion song. And the nominees are Ned and Rachel's riff on One Day More from episode 200, Action Jackson.

I saw a film on Amazon. A most confounding contradiction, but it's true fans will carry on. [singing] They hold the truth of their convictions. Now they man the barricade.

Do you hear what people say? Hence the tide of poor of view. They don't care what critics think.

They will give a passing grade. If you don't like it, then you're dumb. They will give it all five stars. [singing]

One star more. It is simply their opinion. Not the first but all five stars that this movie is fantastic.

It's just the race is all but I LIKE THE MEG AND THE HATERS and the losers CAN GO OFF AND BOIL their heads. Go ahead and give the Oscar. ARE YOU HEARING WHAT I said? Cuz the only thing THAT MATTERS NOW IS THIS. MY SECOND OPINION. [screaming]

Give it up for Ned and Rachel. Jed's riff on Take on Me from episode 222. Unforgettable. pain away because I've got a LOT TO SAY. I'LL say it in all caps and deathly defend this big hunk of crap till it makes sense as I write this from my parents' basement. Take it from me.

I'm not around. This is my SECOND BABY. THANK YOU, JED. WOW. HUGE. Anna's riff on Can't Fight the Moonlight from episode 294, Moonfall. The moon's out of orbit, but don't throw a fit. Just get in the Lexus now. If you think the moon won't fall, well, you'd better call Patrick Wilson, Hibberry, and Fuz Aldren the cat. Mega structures and weird [ __ ] like that. need the second opinion stat. You can try to resist how bad this movie is, BUT YOU KNOW disgraced astronauts can't FIGHT THE MOONLIGHT DEEP IN THE DARK. YOU SURRENDER FIVE STARS cuz you know AI tech fights for the moonlight. Whoa. Hope Fletcher Jones is okay. AMAZING. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE. OH MY GOD. THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE. We have not standing ovation. Oh my gosh. What's your name? Mo. What's your name?

I'm Anna. Anna. Thank you. Anna. Mark and Connor's riff on LMFAO's Shots from episode 320. Bats. So, uh, I'm Mark Connor.

Yes. And now it's time for second opinions. If you ain't watching Bats, get the [ __ ] out of Lago. If you ain't wild zoologologist with Special League Kira Pratchet, get the [ __ ] out of Lago. If you ain't wasting guano, get the [ __ ] out of Lago. BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS, BATS, BATS, BATS. EVERYBODY, BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS BATS, BATS. EVERYBODY, second opinions on the rocks and I'm ready for some bats. Poles Amazon every time I'm watching bats.

Oh my gosh. Escort them out. Just you guys keep walking straight through the door.

So, there are 672. I feel like the bats version of shots could chart. And the howdy for best second opinion song goes to Bats, Bats, Bats, Bats, Bats. That is a Mark and Connor's riff on LMFAO's shots from episode 329, Bats. That doesn't seem right.

I mean, huh, odd. But you know what? It did get the crowd uh pumped up. Okay. What I mean, sure, but I I just I feel like we can do better, you know? I mean, look, it's 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 uh 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. I did bring my friends in New York City one time. We went to Show World with fake IDs.

And then Showworld is a strip club and I went there as a 12-year-old. And 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, but they

Oh, you think? You think I like that there's a little There's You're not QUITE SURE.

YOU'RE LIKE, I WAS CHEWING ON MY BUBBLE TAPE. I think they knew I was 12 Stoppers.

And there was there was a moment where I was walking around Show World as a 12-year-old and uh this woman approached me and she said, "Do you want to watch me take a shower?" And I said, "No,

Paul." And I this movie this prank, Paul, this movie is your life. Did you Did you sign away life rights?

Is that why you're mad you didn't make a cut? Yeah. 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 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 to show world, this guy was like, "You want to like meet a This is crazy. He's like, "Do you want to meet a a sex worker?" And we like, "Yeah." and he started to lead us down an alley and at that point I was like is your life

by the way I just want to go on record we are two hours into the show never heard of

and only now are you inadvertently admitting and realizing this is your life story

on filth I did not put it all together and as we were and as we were walking down that alley I said this is bad let's go and then the guys where you guys going where you Let's go. We're like, we're going to get out of here. And I pulled my friends out and then we went to show world.

Yeah. The only difference is he didn't have a gun like this guy did. He might have. Uh 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. I've heard I've heard to have said and he heard footsteps coming up the stairs slowly slowly slowly slowly and then he got really nervous and he got under his bed and he was under the sheets and the door opened creek 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? Your grandpa. 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 that the hamburger meat starts. MAMA,

NO. MAMA, WAIT. The chopped meat. The meat knew because the meat was the boy. The meat. But the 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

I unreal. I am shaken on my insides. Paul tries to French kiss his mom. Ooh. from episode 217, Jaws 3D.

I almost I tried to French my mom after watching Loveboat. What? I've heard this story before.

What's happening right now? Is this for the podcast? Are we ARE WE PUTTING THIS OUT INTO THE WORLD?

As a little kid, I you tried to make out your words with your mom. No, French. French. Sorry. Sorry. Um

I get it though. I mean, I I I do it. I get it. I get it because I did the same to many other like 12. I was like, "No, I get it." And I was like watching like the love butt all the time and they were always like open mouth kissing. So I just thought, "Oh, that that must be the next level of kissing, right? I get I can get that." And were was she receptive?

NO. Did she consent enthusiastically, guys? Oh god. Oh boy. I feel good to get it off my chest. I feel good.

Oh man, these are all bangers. This is just book promotion. I I don't understand. This category is book promotion.

Well, only one of these stories, and that was the thing that I heard from most people on my book tour. I thought that [clears throat] 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. So, and uh when people ask me why, I said I just forgot like I wasn't thinking of I wasn't trying to like check off boxes here. Anyway, I'm going to give this award to somebody else, somebody who deserves it. I'm going to Yeah, you know, I I will 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 Oh, Paul tries to French kiss his mom from Jaws 3D.

Interesting. I I got to tell you, I've been trying to get rid of the story. I have been trying to push this one. This is a tough one.

This is, you know, and I I put a picture up. 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 to satiate the pervos out there that need to see it.

What do you Wait a minute. What? You gave them like you gave them material to back it up.

Scott, can you pull up my uh website, paulshure.com, and just go to the book section? Yeah, I'll show you. I'll show you because I was done with it. Uh just go Yeah. Then scroll down here. There it is right there.

Oh my god, that's so funny. Oh, that's so funny. Now, it looks like, you know, it looks like my mom is is, you know, so

this looks very passionate. Uh, so yeah, I I've been trying to live down this story. But here's what I'm saying.

Not that the website is paulshar.com/pervert. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's how you get to this cuz I know that all you perves out there. Here's what I want to say. Um, 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.

Oh, wait. 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. I Well, it's more the second talking. It's 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.

Jesus. Don't go anywhere, folks, cuz it's almost time for the biggest and final howdy of the night. Best guest. Ooh, baby. Who could it be? Stay tuned. Uh, 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 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, and I was like,

THAT WAS WILD. [screaming] That was crazy. That blew my mind. They acknowledged how racist it was and then just kept doing it.

YEAH, I GUARANTEE YOU CUZ I'M BLACK, BUT THEN LATER WAS LIKE, I CAN'T SWIM. THE MASS WILL PULL ME OUT. IT WAS SO CRAZY.

Wild in this case, the mass is a tiny Asian girl who's like, "Shut the [ __ ] up."

Jessica St. Clair from episode 204, Holiday in Handcuffs. Yeah, cuz he's [ __ ] hairless AND BUILT AS [ __ ]

BY THE WAY, THAT is a rule in this show type. YES, I DID A while since high school.

Hairless and jacked. Hairless. There's not a hair in HIS BODY. AND I don't think he's waxing. I think I think he's waxing to me. Jessica, that is mind.

That is [clears throat] unappealing. You want like a Kendall physique? God, I don't want to know this. My first sexual urge was for punch.

Okay. From from chips. And Mario is delivering me punch. Like prime punch. Oh god.

Please stop saying punch. Prime punch. Prime punch. I do feel like his shirtless [screaming] scene though was a real beefcake moment.

It's probably a t-shirt. Prime punch. Prime punch. Prime punch. Oh, Prime [clears throat] Punch doesn't sound like what it what you'd want. Dripping letters.

Prime Punch. Mario Lopez is a beautiful man. Very handsome. Very handsome. Undeniable.

And you know, there's nothing worse, I would argue, than a little snuggling up to a man that has stubb. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to feel like you've groomed more than I have before a date. But that's what'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.

Wow. Jessica Charlies Theren and Seth Rogan from episode 212. Hello Maryl Prom night 2.

The scene in the bathroom. Yeah. I wanted to give her my Academy Award. IT WAS AMAZING. YEAH. DO IT.

DO IT. I'M ACTUALLY NOT MADE 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 [ __ ] moment.

It was a beautiful It was a one It was a beautiful shot that slowly crept in and like it AND THEN WHEN THAT LADY DIES IT WAS CRAZY because they almost cut her head off with this [ __ ] thing. This is the craziest.

And then they DON'T. AND THEY HANG. NOT ONLY THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO 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? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU 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 Baron Haltz from episode 205. Cellular.

So he's an LA police officer. It's one line. It's one line. Before when I moved here from England when I was 18, I didn't like it. Now I love it cuz I'm a cop. Instead it's like, "Sorry I'm late. I was on the 405.

I got off at Sentinel and I I I there was Who grew up in chats with me? Was he trying to hide it?

He was trying to There was a line that I really liked and I don't remember the full line, but like Jason Stathithm gives like Kim Basinger a couple choices and a was shut up. A shut up. Keep your mouth shut. Just like Fernando Venezuela after he left the Dodgers and gave a shitty interview to Bill Blash in the LA Times, which I [ __ ] subscribe to,

which I read every week just for Jonathan Gold's review. He's a San Gabriel Valley Chinese restaurant.

He's original treasure, isn't he? Sum is my favorite thing. Um, I'm going for a hike in Griffith Park. I am. And then we're going to Changdu Palace afterwards. You're going to love it. They got [ __ ] lobsters right on the tank. Did you guys wonder like what what was gonna

Jason Staithm Pangelino Casey Wilson from episode 219, Drop Dead Fred. I liked that this movie is about this little girl um 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. It's me too. I'm dead. Finally. FINALLY. I KNOW.

LOVE HER. LOVE HER. What I would have GIVEN FOR THAT MOMENT. WAIT. WHAT? What was nice?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? CASEY, YOU'RE MY FRIEND. ARE YOU INSANE? THE MOM IS A SOCIOPATH.

WHAT? THE MOTHER. THE MOTHER BLAMES THE DAUGHTER AT THE END. AT THE ENDUS THAT MOTHER HAD BEEN PUSHED.

OH, WHAT? James projector acaster from episode 359. Dream a little dream. Oh, sorry. The projector moved down. We'll fix that in one second. I'll

Tim just told me to sort the projector. Wow. Wow. I'll fix it. He said James projector. [ __ ] kidding me.

I just I just said that I regret it for the first time. That's good. James projector. You [ __ ] out of your mind.

I'm not sorting the I'm the guest. None of this is my responsibility. James, none of this is on me. I could [ __ ] my pants and walk off and I've done a great job.

Just so you know, just so you know, when this when this episode gets released, you will be credited AS JAMES PROJECTOR. James projector. Holy Christ.

Tim. Tim's getting too big for his britches. Tim. God. 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 necessarily Tim. Respect our guest. Tim is in a full body sweat.

That was funny. You just climb the projector back in your goddamn eyes and you can watch the trailer that way, Tim. How's that [ __ ] Everyone can stand behind you and watch it projected on the back of your [ __ ] head.

James projector, you [ __ ] high. [ __ ] a whole week in this goddamn city. Everyone talking to me like a piece of [ __ ] And I need it from you as well.

Wow. Incredible list. This is such a difficult category. I feel like of all of them, this 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 I I mean many of these I remember the Ike episode is famous for the Jason Staithm Angelino bit. Now, I do want to say I want to give a shout out to uh our my friend Shawn at Tre Bikes because I was uh recently purchasing a bike at TRE and Sean

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happening right now? Well, my friend Sean, are we doing an in Howdy episode ad for Trek?

I think I'm what I'm realizing is like they I knew we must have had some giant sponsor making these howdies or like underwriting them because they're so big. Are they made out of gold?

They are made out of solid gold. Okay. And they're Trek [clears throat] manufacturing them because that makes sense as to why there are bicycle chains as part of the decorative feature.

Yeah. And there and then obviously, you know, the best audience award that that's more of a a mountain biking award and we have that. Uh but it was so funny because I was I was at the Trek bike store chatting with uh this gentleman Sean and um he said to me he goes I quote Jason Staithm Angelino at least once a week.

Wow. And I was like this I said this you've made my day. I I just love that. That is like a bit like that. I love a deep dive. Also a bit that's a funny bit that anyone can do cuz all you need to do is a barely passable stithm and then just LA specifics.

It's really really great. I I I I love it so much. Um I do want to say that I love all of our guests. They are absolutely fantastic. And uh you know whoever wins this award, you were all winners. They're all winners. I love that this our final award finally um there is some international input. We have James A. Caster here. So we have a nominee from outside of the United States which I think is fantast

but he's not talking about that. Yeah. No, I mean he we he will be when he um when he runs for uh prime minister. Um all right everybody, let's see. The howdy for best guest appearance goes to Jessica St. Clair. 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, 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. There 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 [ __ ] their own dogs and, you know, who knows?

It's exciting. But thank you so much. I love you. All right. Uh Jess the best. The absolute best.

She deserves it. And it could have gone anyway, but I'm happy. I will say she's done so much incredible work uh uh on the front lines of this show. That being said, uh it can't be understated that Casey Wilson had physical injury uh done to her vocal cords after the Drop Deadad 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.

Okay, but hold on, Jason. Here's the thing. Casey was unavailable to make a video, so that's why

I've actually been quite scared that we're going to get a bill from Casey's like vocal node surgeries.

Uh, she can't prove it. Now, uh, 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 rid I just want to say this is ridiculous that I'm going home empty-handed once again. It's fine. I don't know why I expected it to be different.

I 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.

So I'm like a Susan Luchi. I'm a Susan. Well, Susan actually did win. She eventually won.

Yeah. I would say you're more like a Tom Cruz. Oh wow. Okay. You know, you're putting your life out there.

Oh, I'm like I'm Yes. I'm putting myself on the line. Every show every show I do is a stunt.

Yeah. Is a lifeendangering stunt. Yeah. But it's like, you know, it's kind of cool. Like just try try to reframe it that way

for you know and and I will take this June. Sadly I don't I don't think you walked Well, I guess I'll I'll share an award with you tonight. Um and you know there's so many people to thank our producers Scott Sonni Molly

Reynolds. So, I did take a Howdy before for my June, you know, savage dislike. Did it look like you took it?

Well, I Well, you Yeah. Well, we're sharing it, right? I thought we agreed to share.

Yeah, but did When did you come down here to my office in the middle of I'm holding on I'm holding on to I'm holding on to it. Don't Just cuz you don't 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. Uh, like I said, uh, thank you from

I had one from the bottom of Morgan's heart. Uh, thank you from the bottom of Jess's heart. I'm going to take both of theirs and we'll make sure we get them to them before the next

Jessica tomorrow. I can give her that one. No. [sighs and gasps] No. All right. Thank you to our producers Scotty 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 Applebomb. We owe

How nice would it be to give one of them a howdy? Yeah, they all deserve 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. Uh you take June's howdy. You all share it amongst yourselves. Um I I want to say and we've Paul, did you already have that chain made? The one that you've clipped into a Howdy that you wear around your neck now?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I had it made just in case. Just in case. Okay. And they're so big, too. It's, you know, look, what a gift to give, uh, you know, me these awards. I thank you both. Uh, you know, uh, 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 uh, that you've heard in this episode to Averil Hi, who will forever be a part of the show's DNA and her selections of these films that got us to these places. Uh, we are, you know, always, uh, keeping her in our thoughts and minds. Anyway,

oh, I think it's it can't be overstated that I think without Averil's help, we would not still be doing Yeah.

a third annual Howdy 15 years in. I believe many a time I tried to get Averil on board to help find some of these clips and and she politely and and rightly said no.

Incredible. Yeah. The best decision she's ever made. True. 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.

Um, well, we love you, Averil, and we love all of you listeners for making this show worth doing for the last 15 years and counting. And you know what? Uh, because of you all, we will not wait another uh 9 years between howdies. Uh, 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. 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 paulsher.com/pervert.

Again, that's paulshar.com/pervert. Thanks for listening, you jerks.
