Notes & Memorable Quotes[]

Pre-Guest Segment[]

Hayes hates intolerance so much that when he see's it he wants to do something bad

Hayes and Sean did We are Marshall and Small Soldiers based on their martial arts hobbies

Guest Segment[]

Kyle Newacheck is the first director on the show, but everyone agrees it's so easy anyone can do it
Kyle directed Hardboiled, and the scene in Cool Hand Luke when he eats hardboiled eggs. Full of winks.
Sean re: Kyle's work: "You don't have to pay attention to all the little details to enjoy it, but boy does he reward you if you do." Rewatch culture. 12 rewatches are suggested
Sean asked Kyle how pissed he gets when people say Vine is dead, and Kyle proceeds to say he gets very pissed. 6 seconds is all you need.
Lots of dead air. Sean doesn't have a new Macbook. Kyle has gas station coffee. Hayes is a slave to the stuff. Sean wonders (much later) if that movie 12 Years a Slave was about coffee.
Nathan Lane wants to move on from the Birdcage to helming a project about birds
According to Nathan, Kyle is a bitch ass director from Workofholics, and Kyle asked if he can at least make the bird sounds, which is all he really does on the show
Kyle's falcon impression was so spot on that it had Sean hiding under the table and Hayes feeling like a baby mouse
Kyle really likes to focus on the breath of birds when doing his impressions, as heard in his owl impression
Sean explains to Kyle that restaurants are like food stores where they cook food there.
Kyle likes this restaurant called Chik Fil-A. He's a sauce guy. "Sauce 'em!"

- Hayes - strap on a snowboard and go snowboarding on a mountain. Shredding the snow, waving to some of the other guys saying "See ya!" Goin' no gloves, slows him down. Form is arms straight up. Muay thai. Swings a garden hose as fast as he can in the dojo.
