Need your help for 2J3BD episode!
Our year-end awards ceremony.
This Wednesday, 2J3BD is taping our last in-studio episode of the year! We’ve done more episodes this year than we’d done in the last seven, which is pretty crazy. And to recap our 2025, we’re going to have a convo that’s a little different than usual — which allows us to celebrate and remember the things we’ve done while reigniting arguments from the past 12 months.
Here’s a quick 20 question survey, asking you questions like: which 2J3BD episode was the funniest? What was the whitest movie we watched? Who was the most G character? What made Sheek most mad? Your responses will be part of the conversation!
We’re recording Wednesday, so if you can get your answers in by then, we’d appreciate it!
We got the official “low tickets available” alert on Thursday, and you can buy the last few tickets here.
Last week, I gave away TWO VIP TICKETS (!) — Darius M. won! And today, I have TWO MORE VIP TICKETS you can win, thanks to Mayor. All you have to do is respond to this email with a picture of Lugz — who are not a sponsor, but maybe they will be, if they’re still in business. Are they still in business? Don’t tell me, I want to live in my fantasy world just a little longer.
I’ll be selecting a winner Wednesday morning using the same randomizer tool as last week — either way, you’ll get an email so you can get your affairs in order.
And now onto the plant-based meat of the newsletter! Last week, the whole gang was invited onto Gillie & Wallo’s show, Million Dollaz Worth of Game, which tapes outside of Philly. It being two hours away, Styles said, “Yo E, hit up Rivian, get three trucks.” Jada and Sheek were getting on Eric, too, to make it happen. So Eric made some calls and boom, we got three trucks to drive. Look at the power Eric has in his hair!
CUT TO: Sheek and Jada deciding they’d rather ride in their own sprinters and would just meet us down there. That’s fine. Styles, our resident car guy, wanted to see what the truck could do, or more accurately: what he could do to it.
Eric rode down with Johan and his brother, I went with Styles. RUH ROH. Would we make it to Philly? Would I — over the next two hours — say some dumb shit and then be shoved me out of the truck with a ‘fuck you, Jeff’? Or would we laugh about a bunch of stuff I can’t put in the newsletter and just listen to 80s music?
Well, dear reader, I put on Corey Hart. Hall & Oates. The Eurythmics. You know, I grew up understanding one version of Styles — the guy who sells this and carries that — and, while I’m sure he was listening to this stuff even back in his crazy days, it’s just fun to see him singing along to Huey Lewis and the News. Did he turn it up all the way? Yes. Also fun is that he can’t help himself from throwing rap hands while singing to these very soft-ass songs. Like, I wish I could show you video of him going crazy to Tears for Fears. TEARS FOR FEARS. Styles P. does want to rule the world, I guess.
I don’t know whether to credit Styles, the car or both, but it was a very smooth ride. He likes driving fast — his biggest pet peeve, it seems, is people who drive the speed limit in the left lane. He likes how Rivians look, but wanted to see how much they could handle. So, a few lane changes led to a wide open straightaway and mans hit the “gas” pedal — let’s just say we definitely properly met the state-imposed speed limit, again and again. “I think that’s about as much as it can do,” he said, impressed, every time. The first time, though, we were listening to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” on volume 800 and I thought, this would be a crazy way to go out.
Styles also has been stressing that Rivian is not a sponsor, but could be — and let me tell you firsthand: Rivian is really missing out by not having Styles (and the rest of us) as spokesmen.
We just finished the live premiere of the How High episode on YouTube — do people know we watch together with a loyal group of viewers each week at 10am EST? — and that was really fun. My favorite moment of the episode is probably when Eric talks about the time he was drugged off zucchini bread; Eric’s is when Sheek talks about seeing ugly babies. Another great moment is Kiss’ face when he hears my Richie Thumbs score, and Karate Man goes CRAZY this week.
Next week is our Q&A episode — thank you for all your questions! After that, we’re doing our aforementioned year-end thing, and then it’s Die Hard. You can watch Die Hard for free on Roku, but also on Peacock, Hulu…everywhere except Netflix and HBO, I guess? Make sure if you’re in the NYC area to get your tickets to our show. We’re down to the last few.
Also, our merch is on sale at 2j3bd.myshopify.com. Make sure to check that out.
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.
The latest movies suggested were Mo Better Blues — which, actually Wallo also suggested? The Shawshank Redemption, great choice, a lot to talk about there. I’ve never seen Brown Sugar or Dangerous Minds, but know I should; we’ve been getting a lot of Boondock Saints which is a Boston classic. Interstellar, Eric tried rewatching on a plane recently and then thought better of it. And Rush Hour 2…lol. That is a movie that cannot be made in 2025, I’d worry what Sheek would say about it. Ok! See you guys next week — literally!
Top notch as always Jeffrey
im still in the middle of the q&a episode, but im just at the part where someone asked if they would review songs. you should have sheek and styles review the channukah song by adam sandler in honor of chanuka #eightcrazynights (also not a bad suggestion for a movie review)
