Month-Old Video of the Day

As noted, this is about a month old, but I just re-watched it, and it totally holds up. Makes SNL look like a fun/terrible place to work, right?

Also, Robyn is just great. We all agree on that, yeah?

Well, this guy is awesome: Bob Parsons, CEO of GoDaddy

Support of SOPA legislation and terrible product aside, this dude, who founded GoDaddy, is a pretty phenomenal human being (based on the NYTimes Mag Profile of him from the last weekend).

3 reasons why he’s great:

1. Throughout the profile, he keeps calling interviewer Andrew Goldman, “Brother”. As in, “You know, brother, I failed the fifth grade, but I’m the guy that gets to pick Go Daddy girls.”

2. He wears a giant, diamond earing. So big, he can’t remember how many carats it is.

3. One time, he killed an elephant in Zimbabwe, because it had been bothering some village by trampling it’s crops.

Unequivocally awesome.

Deconstructing Diddy’s Latest Ciroc Branded Film, “CiRoc Luck Be A Lady”

This video, which debuted last week, and was cut down into a 30-second commercial just in time for the Christmas Day NBA games, is literally about nothing. If you don’t have 4 minutes to watch it, I can break it down for you in a few bullet points.

-Diddy takes a bunch of well-liked cable tv characters (Omar from the Wire, Jesse from Breaking Bad, James Caan’s kid from Entourage) on a his private jet to vegas.

-They’re greeted by Phil Leotardo from the Sopranos.

-Frank Sinatra is crooning throughout the soundtrack.

-Phil takes them to the VIP section of someplace, where they meet some models and drink some Ciroc.

-They gamble and watch fireworks.

-We hear Omar tell the punchline to a joke, which ends with, “I was talking to my husband, he told me you were leaving, he said give him a dollar.” Everyone laughs hysterically. Handshakes are given out.

-Basically nothing else happens, but it goes on for another 2 minutes.

So what does it all mean?

Perp Talk EP 11: How Criss Angel’s Weird Emo Intern Saved Perry’s Campaign.

There.

I said it.

Real talk.

In this episode, after a quick parody of Newt Gingrich’s ability to spin shit into beautiful shitwool, we dig deep into the last ditch strategies we recommend the GOP candidates dive into to win the Iowa caucuses. From there, we contemplate the meaning behind Newt Gingrich’s alternate history novels, we find the best strip club in all of Iowa and Henry sends a special message to Donald Trump.

And we argue. It’s pretty damn great.

Photo of the Day. Adult Swim bought one of the most expensive billboards in LA, which means in the world, and spent it on a personal ad joke. They have the best brand marketers I have ever seen. Gotta give them dap.

“$10,000 Says I Can Piss Off Just About Everybody.”

OK. So if you’ve been paying attention to the GOP presidential nomination race this year, you’ve probably noticed that there are few running narratives on Mitt Romney that have been floating around (and, you’ve probably noticed, that they are all bad). One of the more damaging narratives is that Romney, given his privileged background and personal wealth, can never connect with the common man. Unfortunately for Romney this narrative was reinforced Saturday when he challenged Rich Perry, just about the most common of all American men, to a bet, and offered a wager of $10,000.

Ep 10: The Rise of the Newt!

In this very special episode of Perp Talk, we cold-open with some “leaked” voicemails left in Newt Gingrich’s inbox by his old campaign manager, who quit when he seemed to not have a chance over the summer. Then we go into discussion mode, where we account for how Herman Cain must feel that his mistress has double-crossed him (he thought they were in secret love!), why Newt is killing the competition in the conservative side of the republican field right now (because he’s somewhat competent), and what Romney says to himself when he’s alone in the bathroom staring at the mirror (hint: it’s super dark). From there, we check in with the Occupy movement and some it’s smaller offspring around the country. And finally, we get around to opening up the old Perp Talk mailbag! It’s a fun one this week, so listen, enjoy, share and send feedback to therealfront@gmail.com!

Perp Talk Ep 9: Whatup Turkeys?

In this special, thanksgiving dad episode, Henry and Andrew discuss a number of highly relevant, important political topics with their usual irreverence and edgy wit. The episode begin with a discussion of the failures of the SUPER committee’s negotiating tactics, which we use to inform hypothetical negotiations in the real world . We then go on to highlight some of the most awesome things the Wall Street Journal has written about Hillary Clinton in the past. From their, we reveal our plan to get the Democrats to sign our super liberal version of the Grover Norquist pledge. And somewhere in the middle, we even find time to make of ol Herman Cain and Jon Hunstman.

Grab a turkey leg, start a fire, sit back in your easy chair and let’s get it people. Perp Mother Fucking Talk Bitch.

NASCAR fans demand more sleeve

The first lady was booed at a NASCAR rally last weekend. I’m assuming it was her fashion-forward, always controversial decision to go sleeveless at yet another public event. When will the administration listen? It’s a matter of decency. America wants more sleeve! We get it Mrs. Obama. You’ve got nice arms. We’re all VERY impressed. Now please find a sensible pant suit (preferably earth-toned).

Well, I assume it’s because she went sleeveless. Another possible explanation is that she’s the first black first lady married to the first black president. But that can’t be it, right? I mean… right?

Fishbone performing “Lyin Ass Bitch”, the song the Roots played to welcome Michelle Bachmann to the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and have caught a silly amount of heat for. It’s a good song.
