## Resource

The guys have reached the triumphant conclusion to what many people are saying is the best Irish-themed movie podcast ever, maybe second after Lincoln. Fresh off their predictions that saw Tim lighting fire to his Oscar's bracket before flushing it down the toilet on Instagram Live, the guys talk about what winners they saw coming and what left them leaning back in their office chairs inhaling poison gas. Tim then gives us a preview of what we can expect this year on the paddle pod as he continues to take an alternative approach to the sport, something he's calling Project: Sail Mary. The guys then send some love to all of their sponsors this season, before talking through some bits and episode ideas they just couldn't find the testosterone to pull off. Other questions answered: For real though, how badass is the original Robocop? Has Bob been listening? Did E.T. listen far enough to hear us name a segment "I ain't goin!"? Did E.T. then listen past that to learn we changed it to the "Bishop Bullwinkle 'To the naw naw"? Will the next Bob Dylan biopic end with a mid credits stinger where we see a shimmering white glove enter the corner of the frame and a very high pitched voice asks "Bob, do they even know its Christmastime at all?" BUM BUM music and you see the words "Bob Dylan will return in BAND AID"? A very special thank you to anyone who has read this far and/or has listened at all this season.
