The 2023 Grizzly Awards (Part Two) | 070

In this honorable episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're talking about the man many call the greatest swordsman of all time, Miyamoto Musashi. He went on an undefeated streak of 60 duels and zero losses, and most of the stories of his fights are absolutely bonkers. Where did he come from? Who was he? And how did he use the oar of a boat to defeat one of the best swordsmen in all of Japan? Tune in for all these answers and more!

Also in this episode, Harrison kills Spencer's musical dreams. Robby shares a bowling-related scheme. Spencer reminisces about an incredibly strange bully. And the guys can't get enough of bizarre talent show performances. 

As always, big thanks to Richard Hackley for all our intro and outro music.

In this unplanned episode of Sorry We Tried, we're breaking in a brand-new studio space in style with another edition of  Free Talk Friday On a Saturday Edited On Sunday But Comes Out On a Monday, or FTFOASEOSBCOOAM. This week, there's a lot of news to discuss as Dwayne Johnson (a perennial punching bag of this program) made headlines by trying (and failing) to take over yet another iconic entertainment company this week. First DC, now the WWE... where will he launch a failed, ego-driven corporate takeover next???

Also in this episode, Harrison's Roomba goes on an adventure. Robby doesn't want to make sustained eye contact. Spencer has an epiphany about the grim future of the MCU. And the guys delve deep into the mysterious, enigmatic behavior of one of Hollywood's most twisted and dark stars--- Sylvester Stallone. You will literally NEVER BELIEVE what he's known for doing in LA hotels. Seriously. You'll never guess.

In this momentous episode of Sorry, We Tried, it's time for the FIFTH ANNUAL GRIZZLY AWARDS! This is our yearly talk about the best, worst, and weirdest of the year in movies, TV, and pop culture. In a banner year for both amazing art and creatively bankrupt dreck, there is a metric ton to talk about! However, this conversation ran quite long, so we decided to do the thing that all the movies are doing now— we split the episode into two parts! Join us this week for Best Movie of the Year and Worst Movie of the Year. Check back in next week for all the rest!

Also in this episode, Harrison finds a bizarre set of messages written on the baseboards of a house (yes, really). Spencer sneaks in more anime talk without Robby realizing it. Robby does an episode on autopilot. And the guys reminisce about 5 years of podcasting.

In this bonus episode of Sorry, We Tried--- the first episode of 2024--- the guys discuss the ridiculousness that is the Christian film industry. Modern Christian filmmakers try to pull off everything from multiversal adventures to contemplative dramas or even apocalyptic prophecies... and most of the time, it's laughably bad. Recently, Spencer saw a movie so astoundingly bizarre that it has to be described to be believed. Enjoy this extra episode before this year of content begins in earnest with the Grizzly Awards next week!

(Editor's note: this episode was recorded before Christmas.)

In this life-changing episode, the guys continue their cartoon conversation from the last episode with 100% canon, confirmed information about both Gru and his Minions from Despicable Me. You think I kid, but the Despicable Me universe (the Gruniverse?) is ridden with dark secrets, from cousin marriages to werewolves to secret Nazis. Oh, and we also talk about fantasy football for a bit because that's causing a lot of trauma. 

Also in this episode, Harrison asks for suspicious merchandise. Robby uncovers questionable information on the wikipedia page for Gru's dog, Kyle. Spencer bemoans his terrible fantasy football luck. And the guys sort of give up on the whole self-promotion idea.

In this fresh episode of Sorry We, Tried, we're back from hiatus and talking about all the hottest news. In part one of this conversation, we get sidetracked on Bee Movie for an absurd amount of time. This is the kind of content you listen to this show for, right? I hope so. Enjoy talk of daring stunts, phoned-in performances, Ratatouille, hitting the griddy, and sinister advertisements.

Also in this episode, Harrison wants to install cameras. Robby thinks Spencer's podcast advertising gives off demonic vibes. Spencer relates an insane celebrity fight story that involves naked Shia Lebeouf and a flight of stairs. And the guys discuss how Surf's Up was ROBBED in 2007.
