Summary
Overview
The third annual Howdy Awards celebrates the best moments from nine years of the How Did This Get Made podcast, covering episodes 139-376. Hosts Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas present various awards for memorable catchphrases, flying entities, savage dislikes, and bizarre movie moments, with Paul dominating the wins much to Jason's frustration.
Introduction and Howdy Awards History
The hosts reunite for the third Howdy Awards after an eight-year hiatus since 2016. They discuss why the awards stopped (time-intensive production during their children's births) and explain this edition covers a massive span of episodes from 139 to 376. Paul reveals the winners are chosen arbitrarily without audience voting, setting a chaotic tone for the evening.
- Third annual Howdy Awards returns after last being held in 2016
- This edition covers episodes 139-376, spanning roughly 10 years of content
- Winners are picked arbitrarily without voting to save time
- The podcast was not nominated for Golden Globe's best podcast award
" I miss the moments that matter. "
" Democracy's dying everywhere, like why should the howdy's be any different? "
Best Catchphrase Award
The first award presents four memorable catchphrases from the podcast's history. The nominees include "Put Her in a Bra" from My Stepmother is an Alien, "Geostorm" yelled enthusiastically, "Where Does the Butt Start" from Mannequin 2, and "Fuck the Moon" from Moonfall. The winner is "Where Does the Butt Start," which sparked an extended tangent about Barbie doll anatomy during the original episode.
- Three of the four nominated catchphrases came from episodes 140, 162, and 186 - a golden age of the podcast
- 'Where Does the Butt Start' won for being an earnest inquiry rather than a joke
- The phrase caused the podcast to stop for minutes of laughter in the original episode
- They paid a doctor $9 on Cameo to answer where the butt anatomically starts
" Just put her in a bra, you weirdo. "
