Episode notes
Howdie Awards Are Purposefully Informal
- The Howdie Awards are a recurring, tongue-in-cheek “best of” ceremony the hosts revived after many years off.
- Paul, June, and Jason emphasize informal curation and arbitrary winners rather than formal voting or contests.
Catchphrases Became Long‑Running Bits
- The hosts nominate and obsess over catchphrases that became running bits across episodes.
- The winners include memorable, absurd lines like “Where does the butt start?” from Mannequin 2.
Resolve Gags With Expert Checks
- Verify funny curiosities with experts before moving on; the hosts paid a doctor to answer a silly anatomy question.
- Use credible sources to resolve recurring gag debates to avoid ongoing confusion.
