  • Leave the Van down by the river

    He tanks every pod that he is on. Why repeat the same take three times. He loves to hear himself while offering up very little.

  • Tropic Thunder

    Funny that Joel clearly didn’t know the assignment and spent most of the pod roasting the movie and talking about how he didn’t find it funny. Also Bill knows the character from the movie’s name is Alpa Chino, right, like the actor Al Pacino. Throughout the pod he says Alpo Chino without seeming to make the connection
