The Decembeards

It's been a crazy year here at The Barbeardian. This whole thing started as me just documenting my awesome diet and weight loss. Then it grew to including manly stuff and other things I was learning. After moving home, I added Ian on and we started the podcast and became even bigger. As we found more and more of a focus, we added Jesse and have really found our stride - especially in the podcast.

Here's where we need your help. A lot of our success comes from you guys out there. People have been spreading the world and telling friends to read and listen. So, now we need your input on our end-of-the-year wrap up/awards show.

The problem is that once we name something "The Official Barbeardian something-or-other" there really isn't much flexibility there. Like last week, when we named The Baseball Bat the manliest weapon, that probably wouldn't change if you asked us that same question next year. So, we are looking for more things that give us a chance to talk about this year in review as well as putting some things in a hall-of-fame or what have you. We're kicking around ideas and stuff, but since we're here for you, we'd like your input too.

Leave suggestions in the comments here, or post them to our facebook page, or you can even tweet us.

This week the gents talk about their Thanksgivings and take an actual phone call live on air. Also included are discussions of gender reassignment surgery and good, ol' fashioned black market ass enlarging.

Casino (1995)

If you're gonna have a Main Man Movie, eventually you're gonna need a Scorsese. And right at the top of the list are Goodfellas and Casino. Really, they're the same movie; they just changed names and locations. Who cares, though? Pesci and DeNiro are just so much damn fun to watch.

The Weekly Barbeardian: 11/20/11

This week's topics include Thanksgiving, preparing for a zombie apocalypse (or a hurricane), and the OWS protests.

Hungarian Apple Strudel

Read this introductory paragraph and see what a giant nerd Jesse is:

I totally rushed the dough-stretching part of this recipe and I feel bad about it. The Hungarian chick that my pastry book talks about can stretch the dough out to like 8 ft. or whatever. The further you stretch it out, the more layers of flaky goodness you get. Well, mine was substantially less, and my excuse was that I had to get to music trivia. I have a music trivia night that I attend every Monday. I actually schedule things around this. Well, as you'll see, the dough-stretching is really fucking hard and it's not the kind of thing you want to be doing inside of a strict time frame. This is ain't no damn chocolate chip cookies, son.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

May 15th, 1992. My 7th birthday.

It was on that day that I became a man. You could say it was my very own Bar Mitzvah. (Also a 'hello' to our Hebrew readers from Israel. Did you like that Bar Mitzvah line? That one was for you.) There was no ceremony. No breaking of a wine glass under a cloth. (Mazel tov!)
