This week we bring you an episode with a Grecian flair. Drew and #1 Fan Harrison Human Guinea Pig’d Blue Zeus, male vitality pills they found in a London pub bathroom, and told Danny about their experience. Drew, Danny, and #1 Fan Harrison then reviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first ever film, Hercules in New York.

Ok, hear us out on this one. So, there is a ball, that you put in your mouth every other day, that can supposedly sculpt you jawline and neck. We know. We know how it sounds but it’s a real product. This week Drew, Danny, and special guest, Matt the Brit, kick-off 30 days of HGP’ing the Jawzrsize Facial Toner. We then review Sharknado, you know, ‘cuz Jaws…and sharks…you get it.

Thanks for listening. We hope you liked the bonus accent impressions that Matt brought to the podcast. That posh British accent impression was cool, oh, and that even poshier British accent impression was dope too. My favorite was that killer Australian accent he did. It’s like we had Russell Crowe on the podcast (I know…that’s the joke).*

 

*Yes, we know Russell Crowe is from New Zealand. Seriously, it’s not fun when we have to explain these things.
