624: Teed Off At The Hawk

Will Leitch is back for a very sportsy episode, as we contemplate Will Ferrell’s new golf sitcom, The Hawk — as well as when Ferrell got in a rut and how he could get out, why the universe thinks we need TWO golf shows right now, and what the show could have done to avoid wasting talented co-stars (“been a movie instead” is probably the answer). We went Around The Dial with The Five Star Weekend, Breaking Bad, and High Potentialbefore Sarah teed up a first-season Sports Night for Canon consideration. The New Yorker won, Big Bang Theorylost, and we waded into the ever-proliferating recap-podcast water hazard for Game Time. Crank the speakers on your golf cart and have a listen!GUESTS👤 Will LeitchTOPICSAnnouncement: 🧑‍💼 Salesperson Draft ResultsLead Topic: ⛳️ The Hawk Around The Dial: 🗓️ The Five-Star Weekend Around The Dial: 👨🏻‍🔬 Breaking Bad Around The Dial: 🫆 High Potential The Canon: 🥌 Sports Night S01.E16: SallyWinner & Loser: 🌲 Paige WilliamsWinner & Loser: 🙄 Jim ParsonsGame Time: 🎧 Leave It To The ProfessionalsSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🎧 Subscribe to EHG on Apple Podcasts for bonus episodes and no ads!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site📕 Get Will Leitch's book, Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride, in paperback🏌️‍♂️ Talking about Stick in EEHG 357🤑 The second Commercial Pitchman Draft from EHG 622💄 Listen To Sassy Club🧠 Our original discussion of High Potential in EHG 528📚 Speaking of paperbacks, they're on sale at Exhibit B.
