Much like the year 2024 itself, we're taking the Year of the Weasel into 2025 with the mandate "more of the same, but worse"! So in that spirit, here's Pauly Shore doing some decidedly shaky accent work in a limp Coen Brothers imitation so obscure, we didn't even know it existed until last November.

Looking for a last-minute excuse to get away from your extended family this Thanksgiving? Here’s half an hour of us talking about seasonal Totally Pauly episodes (plus bonus Son in Law!) that is guaranteed to clear the room if you put it on during the festivities.

We can't exactly say we're surprised, but we'd held out hope for Pauly, the short-lived 1997 Fox sitcom that officially sank Pauly Shore's career, to have at least some redeeming qualities. Spoiler alert: It doesn't, but we still watched four of the five existing episodes so you don't have to!

Awoooooo! Happy Halloween, buuuu-ddies! We took a slightly longer break than anticipated, but we're just squeaking this one minisode into the month of October to talk about some of our favorite seasonal episodes of Totally Pauly.

It's been almost eight months since we started on this bogus journey, and we might be slowly losing it, but at least we're taking some of you down with us! In this extra-minisode, we share some stories about the friends online and IRL who we've started to slowly Weasel-pill.

Jury Duty may not be great cinema--it's basically 12 Angry Men with a closed head injury--but we've both seen much worse (cough, In the Army Now).

It's a true minisode this week, as we check in on a few listener comments and give an update on the unfolding Richard Simmons biopic drama, which I guess is something we have to care about now? Anyway, Jury Duty in two weeks!

If you couldn't already tell we'd passed the glory days of Pauly Shore's career, well, here's your wakeup call: Not one, but two glorified cameos in movie tie-ins to a cartoon, one of them direct to video.

In a complete stroke of serendipity while editing our last episode, Zach discovered that Pauly appeared in an In the Army Now-branded music video for "World of Swirl" by none other than ZZ Top. So, we figured it's as good a time as any to dedicate a minisode to the Weasel's most memorable music video appearances, from his own "Lisa, Lisa (The One I Adore)" to Young Buck's "Shorty Wanna Ride." Also, a tight five on the PS1 classic (...
