St. Crispin's Day

It's that time of year again. Today is the day when we all hold our manhood's cheap.



Every day is St. Crispin's Day for me.

P&S - Soviet Jokes

We think of the Soviet Union as a place devoid of lightheartedness, but no! A new story reveals that during the Cold War the CIA compiled a list of Soviet jokes for.... some reason.

Conan is No More

On Thursday, that last episode of Conan as we know it aired.

For the rest of the year, Conan will be on the road. In November, Conan's new podcast premieres. Starting in January, Conan will air in a half hour format and will have more remotes and travel pieces.

I don't have much to say about this news because there aren't a lot of details and I don't care all that much. I think more remotes is good news, but that's about it. I hope Andy has a significant role doing something; no word on how he fits into all this.

I thought for sure that Conan was going to surpass Dave's record for years on late night. Letterman hosted for 33 years, Conan is currently at 25 but still fairly young. When Johnny Carson was in his 25th year, he was an old man ready to retire at any moment.

“If you saw a sketch from our old ‘Late Night’ show while eating ramen in your dorm room in 1995, a sketch that either delighted or enraged you, now you can relive that moment anytime you want.” I've been thinking a lot lately of the flashback to Conan's first day of college where he introduces himself with the line "Hey fellas, ready for all the good times?" When that gets posted I will be sure to share it here.

GMM - The Best Burrito?

Rhett and Link determine the best widely available burrito.



The fact that Moe's isn't included means this episode is a contest for second place.

I also think there's a flaw in the testing methodology. When taking large bites from a burrito, you're bound to get a pocket of only one or two ingredients. What they should have done is many bites across a cross-section to get a complete sense of the burrito profile.

My own rankings from the tests that I've conducted:

1. Moe's
2. Qdoba
3. Chipotle
4. Baja Fresh

GMM - Paul Scheer

Rhett, Link and Paul Scheer attempt to match ventriloquists to their ventriloquist dummies:



And in honor of How Did This Get Made, they view foreign movie posters and try to guess which movie they're for.

MST3K Returns Thanksgiving Day

I made the title "MST3K Returns Thanksgiving Day" but if I had left it at "Thanksgiving" would people be confused? "Is it Thanksgiving Eve?" "I thought it was the Second Night of Thanksgiving!"

The new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be released to Netflix on Thanksgiving and will consist of 6 episodes. You can read about it here.
