Our friends YellowHelmetFilms [a subsidiary of downinthewell] went downtown Los Angeles during the NBA Finals Game 7 and captured a little bit of the madness that occurred. Here, is a rough summation of what went down.

We commonly make outlandish statements in life and in general, [Un]fortunately, we make these statements while recording a radio show for all the internet to hear. And then the statements get preserved until the internet fizzles out and we’re all left in a cloud of darkness.

BUT

This is great for those of you who like to see people fail at things…we make such great claims that it would be impossible for us to complete them all successfully…so here it is…the first of many attempts to complete a mummrat challenge. Witness Brad attempting to draw a United States map from memory after hearing Senator Al Franken could do it…you be the judge:

I recently embarked on a journey to become the next millionaire on that tv show Survivor…but as many of you know, my luck with game shows is less than great…and this case is no different.

In true downinthewell fashion i waited till the last available moment to produce my audition video and submit it…and the combination of spotty internet access and cbs.com site overload…my video was submitted past the deadline. So, it’s pointless for winning millions on television adventure shows…but it’s still sixty seconds of internet gold that i was able to throw together in a half-hazard fashion..and it would be a total shame if it were to go unseen…so here it is..the moment you’ve all been waiting for…a failed survivor audition attempt:

So if you like it…or just hate CBS…send them nasty emails or letters telling them to suck it…and to put me on survivor!!!

As Downinthewell is operated as a non-profit [read: we don't have or make any money] sometimes we run out of necessities…like cork screws and food.

But there’s always booze!  And after taking a tip from the internet, we remove the nemesis that keeps us from our go-juice.

Make sure to check out mummratradio episodes 1-17…and stay tuned…i think we’re motivated again!

Sometimes people try and force unprofessional people to be professional in a completely unprofessional environment…and in those instances you earn yourself a real nice button down shirt from anchor blue, a signature on your jackass box set, and a nervous tick edited into a sweet outtake reel:

I’m available to do children’s parties, bar/bot mitzvahs, weddings, or just get drunk and hang around for money.

If you liked that [or the LA Lakers], you can thank Garrett Lynn of Lakers-Fan.com for putting this gem together.

…and don’t think I just get nervous on camera either, I can get smacked real good too!:

We had some free time at work a while ago and decided that the internet needs more TMZ parodies…so…here’s some:

…full entry…

Or something like that:

You can’t use em while driving…you can’t use em in public…you shouldn’t use em while you’re drunk [but it's so much fun to do!]…so why can’t we just get rid of em?

It’s digital smack for all of the conversation junkies out there…it would appear that at&t has even captured that entire crowd of people who ‘hate phone calls’, yet incessantly text while showing everyone there neato new iphone app…why can’t we smoke in bars again?

in other news…i’m continuing my war on whoever came up with the word ‘app’ and those who continue to use it.

Video first…explanation later:

So, this is a character that I was sort of working on to be included in another short project that I sort of started and sort of never got passed character design [which believe me...was unbelievable!]. So I took an opportunity to do some simple character animation in After Effects and learn a few additional basics that I should really already know but always forget…and I got to do some photoshop manipulation which I don’t do enough of…and so overall, I think this short clip provides an accurate portrayal of ‘spending too much time doing something for no reason’…but hey..who doesn’t like monkeys?!

You might see more of monkey kong…possibly pulling things from places you never thought of before, or maybe even moving! Or maybe not…it depends on how bored I get Vs. how bad traffic is when I leave work…there’s plenty of stuff that I don’t ever get back around to finishing…like that list I was making of things I won’t ever finish

delicious. …full entry…

Besides all the dirty little nasties that can get all over your hands, there are numerous reasons why you shouldn’t use payphones – and the pro cell phone organization ‘Cell Phones Of America’ will outline one of them for you in this short video:

See!? They’re dumb!

A short sketch my friend Scott and I shot this past weekend for shits and giggles. Turned out pretty nice huh? Leave us some feedback here at downinthewell

Ok, so maybe this isn’t the ‘official’ weekend apocalypse ep. 1. And maybe it isn’t a weekend apocalypse at all, but since this thing doesn’t have a name other than ‘I went and saw this band again’ I decided to try and inspire myself to do something a little more with it.

So you might see this series come back, or you might see it disappear, or it might come back with a new and ‘fresh’ identity. Either way, we’re going to continue to get drunk and do stuff…and if we remember…we’ll film it for you!
