Think about it. No, no, I mean it. Stop the goofs. Stop the music. Think about this guys, THINK about it.... is Gus Gus the most important Disney Character? Seriously though, is he? Also, can we please talk about Garth? We talk about both in this episode and you need to listen because we unravel some things.
Literally every single one. All of them. He's been there. Does he bring a gift? We're not sure. But Tom Cruise is there. Watching. Waiting? We talk about this horrifying revelation, and also Conan's end, Pop Tarts and Chet Hanks needing to stay exactly where he is.
How much are you willing to pay for Toby from This Is Us to wish you happy birthday? Or what about Ice Cube? Y'all, we get into it in a new game. We also discuss what in the world David Spade thinks he's doing. And what's up with this Friends Reunion?
The massive, massive elephant in the (weight) room is our first topic of conversation because how can we not talk about this. Everyone needs to be talking about this. But should everyone also be terrified of this? Or excited? Are we set up to live in a utopia or is the world over? Also, John Stamos... cool it. That and more.

It's another week, another dive into the "Ballers" universe. We talk the potential end of Tracy & Spence's relationship, Ricky's subpar plotline and why Charles needs to stay away from his own baby. Also, we apologize for Gaby's poor sound quality. We're going to blame her 2011 Macbook which is finally being replaced this week. RIP.
It's true. He is returning, just as we all needed him to. Come, take our hand, and join us as we accept our new overlord, Chris Gaines. Also we're going to be talking about the Teletubbies a little bit, so just a trigger warning there is some horrific facts about how tall Tinky Winky was.
We're back! Sorry about that. Chris had to start Riverdale and Josh and Gaby had to dig out of a foot of snow. But we're back, and trust me when I say we bring some heat. Particularly when it comes to fish and Tom. You'll know what we're talking about once you hit it.
After a semi-relaxing holiday break, we're back to recap season 2 of "Ballers." In this ep, Ricky discovers the love in New Orleans, Charles holds a baby as we hold our breath and Josh apparently feels like dancing.
Enjoy.

Hello, and welcome to the writers room, where Josh, Gaby and Chris write a movie in real time. This is our Hallmark Christmas Movie "Boot Scootin' Christmas" which really has all the staples of a Christmas movie: love, a mall, and the ghost of Wendie Malick. Enjoy.
Our time with "Ballers" is rapidly ending as we recap the second episode of season two. We're on our Wahlburgers watch, talk our dream NFL teams and discuss the always controversial Vin vs Dwayne.
The long-awaited selection for a Click Bait mascot Is here. Actually, she picked us. We talk about her birth, and also how to connect celebrities, the wonderful world of 2012 hits, the Grammys and much more.

After a few short weeks, we are back to recap the season 2 premiere of "Ballers." Season 2 will be the last season of Ball is Life so we discuss why we're ending early, predictions for the rest of the season and why Jay Glazer hosts a Jerry Springer-esque show in the "Ballers" universe.
Guys, this episode starts off with some very sad news so be prepared for that. But there Is good news with that. We do take that sad news and come up with such a good business Idea It almost made all of us want to quit what we're doing and join. We get to a lot In this, and Chris cries laughing for the first time Live on the pod. We play some school, drink some tea, and make Josh uncomfortable.

We're back to recap the season 1 finale of "Ballers" which ends with a bang (literally). We get candid about our thoughts on the show so far, predict what Charles will be like as a father and speculate on what season 2 will bring.
Ok, full disclosure, Reynolds Wrap didn't give us money for this episode but they should. But hello, and welcome to the podcast crossover event of the century. In this one, we welcome the stars of the "One Star" podcast to watch the Netflix special "Hubie Halloween." Come along for a spooky, concerning ride featuring incredible t-shirts, a multi-demential thermos, a top-notch Halloween party, callbacks to classic Sandman movies and a general discussion about one of the best worst movies we've ever seen.

Well folks, we're almost to the end of the first season of "Ballers" as we recap episode 8, "Gaslighting." We discuss a Dan's Auto Collision ad, sensory deprivation tanks and why pushing a truck in neutral is really not a big deal.

It's a race against the Benadryl clock as we recap episodes 6 and 7 of "Ballers," Season 1. In this historic episode of Ball is Life we make our first presidential candidate endorsement, Ricky's "fun house" is introduced (complete with stoners who love the movie "Her") and we meet a fun mom who's more than a little wickity wickity wack.

Josh and Gaby recap the 5th episode of Ballers titled, "Machete Charge." We dive into the world of sexting, Gaby makes her weekly morbid prediction and let's see if our listeners can pick out the phrase we used to notify the other host that we need to wrap things up.
Gaby and Josh dig into Ballers episode 4, "Heads Will Roll." We name the villains and heroes of the show, reveal our personal mantras and give Charles a well-deserved scolding.
Ballers heats up in its third episode, "Move the Chains" which brings out the worst in its characters. We discuss Peter Berg's character, how Joe is the villain of the show and Gaby learns more football lingo.
We open on a vast desert. We fly over the baron wasteland and see a shadowy figure In the distance. We Inch closer. He's wearing boots, skinny jeans, a button down unbuttoned. It flows In the wind. He's been traveling for some time, you can see, the story told though the lines on his grizzled, unshaven face. He turns. He looks at the camera. "Hello again, old friend," he says. "So. You've finally made It back to the beginning, have you?"
TLDR; Chris Is the host now and this Is the first episode of season four.
Josh and Gaby dive into the lackluster second episode of "Ballers" titled "Raise Up." We discuss whether watching the show has already changed us and the most likeable characters thus far.
Josh and Gaby watch and discuss the pilot episode of Ballers in our miniseries “Ball is Life.” We go deep on whether the show is a “Friday Night Lights” and “Entourage” hybrid and if we can remember the last time we saw The Rock get hot ‘n heavy with somebody.
Gaby's reign on the podcast has come to an end. So she handpicked a guest-host and a movie -- a truly horrible one -- for a watch. We watch the 2020, um, project of Dolittle and try and figure out why In the world there's a rabbit In jail. Why Is there a rabbit In jail?

A few things. There's some wind -- not a lot of wind, but some wind -- because we recorded outside but It's fine you'll get over It I promise. We talk about the news of the day Taylor Swift, but of course there Is more, like hangover cures and the wine Josh brought to drink and we list the enemies of the pod from 1 to 5. You can guess who 1 Is.

Is there anything more terrifying? Seriously. Think about his arms. How fast they move. They give us the heebie jeebies. Anyway, we talk about that and we also pitch a new Hallmark Christmas Channel movie (some Christmas Special foreshadowing?) and talk Muppets.
As always, hit us up on our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/click.bait.podcast/) and Twitter https://twitter.com/podclickbait
We're back! And of course we're talking High School Musical, baby! We talk HSM, we talk some about our favorite Josh (not the host) and rank Will Ferrell pairings.
Also, check out our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/click.bait.podcast/) for recommendations on how to best educate yourself to be a better person and create a better world.
Not all the time. Ursula Isn't always too big. But sometimes? Sometimes she Is just Way Too Big. Anyway, we talk about her and other Disney Villains. And also hit breaking news about Jay Cutler's reality show future, loop holes In Back to the Future and much more.
We watched a movie no one should watch. A movie so bad, It made the process of watching It painful. You know when you're watching a bad movie, and It's so bad that It's funny? This movie Is so bad It didn't even have one of those moments. Well, one. We're joined by our friend Jake to discuss this horrible, horrible flick.
A special episode for you guys. The rules are simple. Josh, Gaby and Chris are creating a music festival. They each get 10 bands to spread over three days. If one person picks a band, they're off the board. Who creates the best festival? Who puts the wrong headliner on Friday night? Who gets Queen? That and some recommendations.
We split It In half this week. Half links, half recs. So we talk Taylor v. Kanye, Monk, movie theatre experiences and more. We also maybe have an Idea for a rewatch. You remember how good Scooby Doo was? The first one?
This week sucks. And the coming weeks might suck as well. So we have 9 (actually more than 9. Like, 15 maybe?) things to watch, listen to, read, play, whatever, to escape social distancing. Please listen, abide by our recommendations and wash your damn hands.
We introduce Josh to something new, share our joy about Parasite (go Bong!) and other thoughts from the 92nd Academy Awards. We of course bring up Josh Gad a few too many times again in this one, but also talk about The Mighty Ducks. And make a pretty horrible realization.
We got together and Josh told an embarrassing story. Then we debated various elements of moving watching on television, as well as the horror that Pee Wee might actually be returning to our lives. Most importantly we declare public enemy number one, and you won't believe who it is. Actually, you might.
We thought this one was going to be pretty brisk, and then Josh and Chris started talking about This Is Us for like... a while. Before that, we jog through the mentions on our Twitter account, talk about a bad dancing show coming out and, of course, J.B. Smoove.
So, Gaby promised we'd watch a different movie. But she threw a curveball queued up the 2019 AV Club pick for Worst Movie of the Year: "The Fanatic."
Sit back, relax, and get ready for your day to be ruined by the single worst thing any of us have ever seen
We have two small tragedies to start this. The first is an accident outside Josh's new apartment. The other? What Gaby finds inside Josh's apartment. We take down another Josh for the 1,000th time, talk worst movies of 2019 and the Sandman.
You've got a new host with new rules. But don't fret, we're right back on our BS. We go through the top 10 favorite movies of the 2010s, we talk daytime TV and much more In this highly anticipated Season Three finale.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Some breaking news out of the movie capital of the movie industry this month. The podcast Clickbait has come out with a reimagining of a 2007 favorite of movie fans, WILD HOGS. In this new exclusive interview, Gaby, Chris and Josh detail the story plans for a gritty, emotional, wonderful movie that will push your knowledge of motorcycles and love to the limits.
(Hey, out of the bit here for a second. We also discuss Tik Tok, we choose between Henry Winkler and Tom Hanks, which celebrity we'd want to hang out with for a day and more. But mostly stick around for the Wild Hogs stuff. It is brilliant.)
So in this one Chris gets real weird about music, Gaby and Chris bring the exact same link (You can probably guess about what. because you saw the same link and thought, dude, that's a little much.) And Josh goes on a few rants. So a normal episode, right?
Welcome to ~spookytown~ Population: Everyone.
In this one we do talk about Macaulay Culkin. We do talk about about Disney Channel Original Movies. And we do get down to ~spookytown~ and talk about real ghosts haunting the world of Savannah, Georgia. And also all around us all the time.
We went to see Once Upon A Time in Hollywood together. We don't spoil anything, but we give you some pregame talk, and some postgame rap session with the summer crickets.
Ok, she didn't, but she bulldozed us with a doozy some decades ago and we talk about that doozy for awhile. We also talk about Woody Harrelson, because we just had to. Be sure to follow us on Instagram now, @click.bait.pod.
Seriously, dude. Are you like... doin' OK? That's the main crux of this episode. Sure, we talk about our Tumblr pages and we talk about Seinfeld and whatever, we intro a new segment of Gaby getting real about old people. But like... Jeremy? Bud? Are you like, doing fine? Because it does not seem like it my man.
Sorry for the delay, but we've been traversing the world trying to find a live show. We failed but had some laughs along the way. In this one, we talk Late Show hosts, our biggest pop culture disappointment and also get wild with a show that is actually, really called NOS4A2.
We're back! We catch up with the rest of the world and talk about the important things: Old Town Road, Mike Myers, Funeral Songs, Josh Watching The Love Guru.
Next week, we watch Endgame. This week, we debate Adam Sandler movies.
We did what no one should ever do, and that's watch the movie Gotti. We did it. We're not happy about it.
Ok, yes, the title doesn't make sense. But it also... makes complete sense, doesn't it? We recap the Oscars and get upset about a lot of things. And then we remember the Shallow performance and Olivia Colman winning and feel much better. Plus, let's be real to the title, we compare quite a few famous people to Pokémon.
So we go places in this one. Gaby really goes off on Pitch Perfect 2. We confront Josh about his favorite artist possibly being terrible now. Chris pitches a tremendous idea that could save all of our movie-going lives. And you know we discuss Will Smith and his horrible blue body.

Everything that you need to know about this episode is in the title. Everything you need to know about, well, a lot of things, are in this title. If you're reading this, just take one second. Just one. Think. What do you think this title means? Because friend, in 700 years, you'd never guess anything close. Introducing a little Tookie into your world.
We come up with Bradley Cooper's next great project, pick a new Batman (or at least Josh does) and y'all, we talk about Williams Shatner a lot. Because that man is 87 God Damn years old. Don't pretend like you knew that. You didn't. He's 87. Eighty. Seven!
Every episode or two, we learn something huge. Something big. Something worth seriously diving into. Something... kind of scary. In this episode, we talk about romantic comedies, and folks, we learn some Things about Josh. We also talk Conan, SNL cast leaving for TV shows, Marie Kondo and introduce a new segment called an "advertisement."
Season two, the season of Josh, begins with us drinking wine from the brand, Josh, and boy do we get through a lot of content in 50 minutes. We're talking pirate ghost divorces, the worst things on the Internet in 2018, and who should host the Oscars. We give many answers to that final question, but there's no getting around the correct answer. Which is us.
We did it. We actually did it. We used hard-earned money to purchase The Answer Man and watch it. We can't believe it either. Listen to this so you never, ever, have to suffer The Answer Man's horribleness.
We talk about the newest Hollywood couple, Jared Leto (not even sure why we put this in the description anymore. You know Jared is going to come up at some point) and great SNL cast members. And a sneak peak at a Season Finale... because we're apparently doing seasons? That's just according to Josh.
We really go places in this one. We talk about the second phase of Kenan's career, we explain the Paul brothers (you know the ones) to Josh and we discuss (read: laugh at) the idea of a Live from Omaha show that would rival SNL. Please join.
Spoilers. So many spoilers. This episode is almost entirely spoilers. We went to see Infinity War on opening night. Here's what we thought of it:
We got down some dangerous paths in this one. So just be on the lookout. Like, we talk way too much Young Sheldon. And Josh takes a quiz that does have a pretty good payoff. And we get serious about Infinity War for a bit.
Chris is scared of Finale's so we make a lot of fun of him for that. We also talk P. Diddy (because we can't not talk about him anymore) and discuss the eating habits of celebs. They're just like us, except so much weirder.
Like usual, we accidentally created something awesome. This time it involves Friday Night Lights and JK Rowling. Might just be our best idea yet. We also tackle Wes Anderson's movies and do our best to spread horrible rumors about famous people.
We go places in this episode, including down a Wild Hogs rabbit hole and into Mark McGrath's world. But first we start with Chili, which is how sometimes Josh starts his days apparently.
You don't want to hear us talk about the sound mixing category, but you do want to hear Josh and Gaby yell at Chris for his Best Director prediction. We break down Best Director, Best Actress in a Supporting Role/Leading Role, Best Actor in a Supporting Role/Leading Role and Best Picture. We talk about cloning dogs and Kristen Wiig movies. And a lot about how hard we're rooting against Gary Oldman.
Ok, stay with us. We go down this long string of scenarios about a pirate ghost, but we do promise that it is based off a headline. We also talk about the Elephunk in the room, also known as Fergie's national anthem and give a tight five. Plus -- seriously -- a very good pirate ghost story.
We meet in-person for just the second time ever and things got weird real quick. Like, Josh talking about being a pharmacist in a Western weird. Like, Kim K sushi recipe weird. We also take a quiz that puts Gaby and Josh at odds and we discuss the pros and cons of Mom-Wives. Whatever those are.
We begin with Duck races and end up at how Hardee's is the key to stopping the Kardashian-West children. We also hit on Nick Cage, how worried we are for Justin Timberlake and the romantic nature of a Runza.
We unpack a lot in this one, including Josh's arena football league history, 50 Cent getting accidentally rich again, and the return of the Mighty, Mighty Ducks. Also we find our XFL nicknames.
So you might've liked 'The Last Jedi' just fine. Or you might've hated it. Either way, we found a solution for Episode 9 that'll surely unite the divided fanbase. Chris also gets triggered for what we think is the first time. Also Tom Hardy raps? This is a packed episode.
For once, for literally once, we followed through with something. We said we'd watch the Netflix movie 'Bright' and talk about it, and so here we are. The Bright Episode. Prepare for a discussion about the worst movie we've all ever seen, and for one good slice of actual click bait at the end.
Ok, we know, we're sorry. We accidentally took a month off but now we're back and actually have some mail. So we broke that open, plus have some thoughts on T-Swfit, David Ayer at parties and much more. Again, we're sorry. Mostly.
We found two different people who "claim" to be The Answer Man. So we jump into that. Also, Josh gets very into his Mark Wahlberg impression, we take on P. Diddy and rank famous Chris'. (Our Chris didn't make the list. Wasn't even close.)
Listen, we're sorry this one is a little longer. Gaby couldn't stop laughing at Josh Gad, and Josh explained School of Rock beef for a little longer than one would've hoped, and Chris dove down a Ned Schneebly rabbit hole that had more plot twists than you can imagine. So don't get mad at us. Get mad at Josh Gad, OK?
You know. You know what the title is about. We don't have to explain it. You know what we talk about in this episode. Come on in, and let Josh explain to you what Fifty Shades of Grey is about. We also tackle Brendan Fraser's career and that whiny Harry Potter.
The spookiest episode. We talk Jay Leno and uncover his real name. Plus we debate Dwayne The Rock Johnson vs. Dave Bautista and learn quite a lot about Josh's 'Cars' bias.
Josh pitches RIPD. Not RIPD 2. Just RIPD. We tackle who we want as dads and what 1990s TV shows we don't want or need back.
Why isn't Billy Zane getting the roles he so obviously deserves? Why did Taylor Swift create an app? Is Andy Serkis really in every movie made since 2005? Our answers and more.
In the second episode, we jump into the big stuff. Jared Leto says weird things, Gaby goes on an adventure as a villain, and we uncover Guy Fieri's actual secret life.
The first episode of Click Bait, a podcast in which Chris, Josh and Gaby take links (mostly about pop culture) from the internet and make fun of them.
