## Ads

* Mack Weldon - Mack Weldon (Hayes) the prospector has an underwear drawer full of animals. Sean and Hayes find this exhausting and don't know how PFT does it. Mack prospected some silver to put in the underwear from his silver mine. Sean (the rancher ... outlaw) held up the saloon and got some anti-microbial technology from behind the bar and poured it on the silver underwear so it won't stink. Better than any salsa you can get from NEW YORK CITY! ... exhausting.

* Harry's - James Corden (Hayes) interviews Santa man (Sean) on *The Late Late Show*. Santa man has started working for a great cause: Harry's Razors. Both James and Santa man are fans of Hollywood Handbook and think Sean and Hayes are really cool. In a twist predicted by no one, James rips his face off and turns out be... Moriarty! After an intense action sequence Santa man defeats Moriarty with a "Big Flip".
* Earwolf - The boys explaining how to support Earwolf and the show. Clearly this is the beginning of the end. Try subscribing to the show, tell a friend, or share the show on Facebook. Bosch makes a cameo after Sean says, "Earwolf loves you". Hayes promises to take Chef Kevin with them to a new network. Sean promises the archived episodes tell you how to "beat the market". Only one way to find out.
* *Sporkful* podcast - the ad copy includes the rules for the bad-boys of podcasting the follow.
