PrintThey actually paid someone money to make this.
In part two of the groundbreaking, revolutionary, wicked awesome fiftieth BHGPodcast, we talk the hegemony of Jacobi with CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli, revise our December predictons with Justin VanLaere, and get our grapplin' on with RossWB. And, yes, there's discussion of Barbasol, circumcised Heismans, and Wrestlemania. That's just how we roll.
Listen below or on iTunes.

Aw, hell, you don't even speak Spanishese.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

I find it hilarious that there was about 5 minutes spent on Iowa Wrestling
followed by 10 minutes on possible Wrestlemania title matches

Sadly, this is pretty much what Razor Ramon looks like now.

"Say hello to the bad guy," alright.
Mugshots are a bitch.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I thought it'd be a joke, too.
Then I realized that actually was a photo of Scott Hall. Bummer.

Also, Scott Hall was born in 1958?
That’s the saddest thing I’ve read all day.

The best thing I learned about Scott Hall there?
One of his ring names was STARSHIP COYOTE.

Barbasol is not selling
a shave cream…obviously.

I believe they're selling ridiculously oversized implants

That ad doesn't hold a candle to Barabsol Man and his pancake-cooking wife.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
There are two scenarios.
The money isn’t going to advertising, obviously. And it’s not exactly going into product development. So where are all the profits from Big Close Shave going? I’m guessing that either Barbasol execs are swimming in a pool of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck, or there actually are no profits, and Barbasol is being sold out of the trunk of one guy’s van somewhere in rural Indiana (or as we call it, Indiana).

I'd say the ad agency for Barbasol should get an award
because I don’t think we have ever discussed Gillette Foamy Cream on this site. Believe me, those ads work and the strategy is brilliant. They don’t use irony like a fast food commercial would, they play it straight, but believe me, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Do people here actually buy Barbasol?
Or are we all just laughing at the commercials?

Wait.
Aren’t we supposed to be shaving with Ro*Tel & Velveeta? Am I mixed up here?

I use Gilette or Edge on the rare occasions I shave.
Sorry, Barbasol overlords.

Right here. It's cheap, and it does give you a really close shave.
In other news, Michigan State has suspended Korie Lucious for the rest of the season.

I've bought Barbasol
But don’t really use it. The kids like making old school shaving cream pies and such in the tub.
It never gets to be easy.
Why the fuck doesn't it ever get to be easy?

Hey, Stoops.

Yep, now I am sending that money to another Northeast school that has a boring coach
and an uncommunicative AD. Can you get me an address to the development office at Penn State? I want naming rights on that library.

It's OK
You made the theme song.

Wait, wait, wait
There’s an Evanston “brothel law”, that you talk about it, but don’t link to it?
FOUL, I say.

Ok, Haven't listened to it yet, but
I wanted to let you know that between my 35 minute commute to school and the fact that the podcasts are the only content I don’t currently consume on here, I have finally installed iTunes (f-you Jobs) and downloaded my first content from said application. So congratulations on making me go back on my “never ever will I use iTunes” pledge. Now please don’t ever charge for these things, because spending money at iTunes is not something I’m willing to do, even for BHGP.
I can confirm; Pat Vint shows up fashionably late to parties.
If “fashionably late” means “half in the bag”.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
