## Notes & Memorable Quotes

### Pre-Guest Segment

* Ben Affleck being picked to don the cowl (being Batman) is an Epic Fail
* Sean and Hayes, like Batman, don't give an 'F'
* Sean and Hayes suggest new Batmans: One of the Metallica Guys, Kim Jong Un, Bo Jackson, Elizabeth Smart, Tim Burton, and the Mythbusters
* Elizabeth Smart could handle the Joke Man

### Guest Segment

* Sean and Hayes berate Cody for ending the intro song early
* Adam gets pretty t'ed about the guys calling it *Happy Enders* instead of *Happy Endings*
* Hard to tell Jake Johnson and Adam apart. Ladder of the handsome, schlubby, Jewish guys: Seth Rogen > Josh Gad > Jake Johnson > Adam Pally > David Krumholtz (sewer rat). Krum isn't even on the ladder.
* *Happy Endings* is known to S&H as the show that allowed Lamorne Morris to be on *New Girl*
* Adam Pally would not buy a gift for an agent, even if the agent pulled him out of a burning building. They already get 10% Adam went on, why give them any more?
* Adam plugs his band The Adam Pally Project's upcoming tour. Describes the sound as Mumford & Sons with a mouth full of cotton, a white noise machine mixed with the Lumineers

## Recurring Segments

* The Right Stuff (To Do When You're Writing) - about writing, the craft of writing, tips for creating a good script. Fans often (mistakenly) spell it "Write." When needing to write, sit down and think about "Has anything happened to me?" Couple of examples: *Captain Phillips* was based off a wild boat party Sean and Hayes enjoyed, had to change it a bit (needed a second act) cause they kicked the pirates' whole butts, made 'em wish they were never born. *Saving Private Ryan* was from Hayes and Sean taking over coaching at a Knicks game.
* Popcorn Gallery
	1. Toby Keith Sweat - Why is there no sports on TV?
		+ Answer: There are sports on TV. Adam goes on to say, Sean probably doesn't know that because he doesn't own a TV
	2. Anthony Scontrino - What kinds of twisted pranks have you pulled on set?
		+ Answer: Adam was very adamant that he has never pulled a prank on anyone. Ever.
	3. Andy Kneis: -With the advent of DVR and internet streaming, are you worried that people now have the ability to pause your show on the TV and you'll be stuck making a goofy face?
		+ Answer: No, the technology has been around for 7 years. Sean and Hayes then claim it's because Adam is so 'over it'
* Pro Version - no one in particular. Subscribers win the keycard to Hayes's pool, a free trip to the Earwolf studios after work hours

## Recurring Jokes

* Wife and Kids - Hayes explains to his children how Halloween is a commercial holiday now. Sean is p'ed that Steffi let his two beautiful daughters eat a Nerds Rope with Taylor Lautner's shirtless torso on it, this is sexual!
* Scoop Troop - Show up late to set to assert your dominance. If you mess up a scene, cut off your hair (head or eyebrows) so they have to shoot the whole scene over from the beginning
* Talking to the Engineer - Cody gets roasted for having a thought to stop the intro song early.
* Comic Books - Batman discussion
* Doesn't Own a TV - Sean mentioned several times how he doesn't think sports is on TV because he doesn't own a TV
