HOODIES: HERE. NOW. FINALLY.

No caveats, it is here.

Finally. Finally. Finally. Finally. Finally. And a couple hours shy of Eric’s birthday, no less. Happy birthday, Eric!

As of one minute ago, you can now buy merch from our merch store, as God (probably) and Eric (definitely) intended.

Thank you to Dutch, who - for the past three weeks - has been tirelessly giving us updates as he worked to cut through red tape, and thank you to you all for your patience. Sorry it’s taken this long, but Christmas is officially saved.

We’ll also have some limited merch available at our live show in Brooklyn on Dec. 22. Just as a quick reminder, we are down to our last 50 tickets! If you were waiting to buy, I’d get them now.

Not to send mixed messages but I do have TWO (!!) VIP tickets to give away now — thanks to our friend Mayor — which means you can sit up close at The Bell House: respond to this email with your favorite episode of our show! I’ll choose a person by random (using this website) on Friday and let you know if you’ve won! Easy peasy.

And so, to fix the mixed message, if you don’t feel like leaving it to chance, click here to have a guaranteed ticket to see us talk about Die Hard, do some of our world-class segments and do a Q&A!

December 22. 149 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215. Doors at 7:30pm.

Everyone likes BTS stories, so here’s a quick one: we and The LOX popped out to Brooklyn on Sunday; Raekwon/Mobb Deep invited an illustrious roster to make cameos: Nas, MOP, Rome Streets, Method Man, Meech from Flatbush Zombies were all there. (Ghostface, too, who said he loves 2J3BD: “These that n***as from the show, I fuck with that shit!”) Besides being a mandatory stop for everyone who came through the show, The LOX’s green room doubled as the game room: a Godzilla pinball machine, a dartboard that Styles was better than decent at and a Ms. Pac-Man machine — which, not sure if people know, but that’s one of Jada’s favorite hobbies.

Hopefully the size of this video doesn’t fuck everything up — would hate for this to get trapped in your spam folder just because I wanted to send a video of Jadakiss murdering the high score:

Jada was talking about how you need to get 14,400 points to feel good about Level 1, close to 50,000 for Level 2, I wasn’t really listening. He was also singing Karma Chameleon and saying how the orange ghost is the dumbest. Apparently, the orange one doesn’t chase Ms. Pac-Man the way the others do, and it tends to hang in the lower left corner. Crucial info!

And speaking of crucial info: next week’s episode will be How High! It’s on Fubo (free!), Starz, Hulu…our live episode — Die Hard — will be taping Dec. 22 and released to the world January 5. You can watch Die Hard for free on Roku, but also on Peacock, Hulu…everywhere except Netflix and HBO, I guess? I watch it every year so it’s probably always playing somewhere. We’ve got a Q&A episode and maybe a year-end special or something we have to figure out, too. So, my pick is probably going to be second week of January.

As always, you can find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram, TikTok and right here, for our weekly newsletter.

Feel free to suggest movies for us to review here! People hit us every day for us to review movies, and the only way for them not to be lost is in the Google form, linked right there.

Recent movies suggested: Clue (which I love), Eurotrip (which I’ve never seen) and Requiem for a Dream (which I downloaded illegally in college and from that day on, I decided meth wasn’t for me). People also brought up Fight Club (which I think Styles hates? I might do that next round), Desperado (which I bet Jada and Sheek would like) and Being Bublé, the Michael Bublé documentary, on YouTube — I promise you the guys would never speak to me again if I suggested that. I’m already on thin ice, as it is! nvm, it’s a 20-minute mockumentary about a guy attempting to be a Michael Bublé impersonator. I’m not sold but I’ll try it. I’ll watch it later, even though it doesn’t make sense for an episode.
