Mick at the Movies! - "Do Tommy Boy"
Hello Worst Friends! Did you know you can get a good look at the movie “Tommy Boy” by sticking your head up a podcaster’s a**, but wouldn’t you rather take Colin and Tim’s word for it instead? Following the overwhelming success of the “Do Heavyweights” episode (many people are saying the greatest podcast episode in this country’s history) the guys return to look under the hood of the 1995 comedy classic “Tommy Boy”. They can look under the hood because it wasn’t latched properly and flew off due to an oil can being left in.The guys hop in Richard’s car to take a trip down memory lane and discuss the lasting impact of Chris Farley, David Spade, and the movie that Colin and his friends would quote throughout the majority of their teen lives. Questions we answer:Do you know where the weight room is? We’ll check it outWould Tim let Colin get in the first punch if they fought?Does Colin carry a 2x4 with him on every paddle just in case him and Tim get in a fight?What exactly is a Dinghy?Does Brian Dennehy deserve induction into the Great Big Micks Hall of Fame?How fast can you change clothes in an airplane bathroom?Did Tommy get his luggage from our sponsor Dutch Luggage?Who was Richard’s favorite Little Rascal, was it Alfalfa… or was it Spanky?.... SinnerWe hope you like this episode, you hold on to a podcast this cherry, like Richard’s car and Tommy’s luggage. Please feel free to go back and listen to past episodes, because if you don’t the show might go belly up, and then the whole town might go under… and thats when the wh*res come out…Programming note: Mick at the Movies is taking some time off during the summer, but the Paddle Pod will be back just as soon and Colin and Tim actually do some paddling. For your sake, for your daughter’s sake, have a happy and healthy summer worst friends.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Episode 12: The Finale - Oscar's Recap, Paddle Pod Preview, Sponsors, and Benched Bits
The guys have reached the triumphant conclusion to what many people are saying is the best Irish-themed movie podcast ever, maybe second after Lincoln. Fresh off their predictions that saw Tim lighting fire to his Oscar's bracket before flushing it down the toilet on Instagram Live, the guys talk about what winners they saw coming and what left them leaning back in their office chairs inhaling poison gas.Tim then gives us a preview of what we can expect this year on the paddle pod as he continues to take an alternative approach to the sport, something he's calling Project: Sail Mary. The guys then send some love to all of their sponsors this season, before talking through some bits and episode ideas they just couldn't find the testosterone to pull off. Other questions answered:For real though, how badass is the original Robocop?Has Bob been listening?Did E.T. listen far enough to hear us name a segment "I ain't goin!"?Did E.T. then listen past that to learn we changed it to the "Bishop Bullwinkle 'To the naw naw"?Will the next Bob Dylan biopic end with a mid credits stinger where we see a shimmering white glove enter the corner of the frame and a very high pitched voice asks "Bob, do they even know its Christmastime at all?" BUM BUM music and you see the words "Bob Dylan will return in BAND AID"?A very special thank you to anyone who has read this far and/or has listened at all this season.
