Good Morning Greendale: A Community Podcast

Things get meta meta as Abed and Annie take a spin in the Dreamatorium. Abed simulates everybody. Annie simulates Abed. The manager at Señor Kevin's simulates a guy who absolutely does not get the point of Die Hard. Oh and Troy and Britta go on a lunch date. At Señor Kevin's, where there is a manager who absolutely does not get the point of Die Hard.

Additional talking points include Die Hard and how Die Hard is a great movie that makes perfect sense no matter how many FBI agents there are named Johnson. I bet that the manager at Señor Kevin's doesn't realize that Johnson is the second most common last name in the United States, so statistically it is not out of the question that two unrelated FBI agents would be named Johnson and partnered up. If you have to nitpick a movie to the point where you are picking apart the choice of identical surnames of FBI agents, maybe you just have a vendetta against the movie. Who hurt you, manager from Señor Kevin's? Why can't you just enjoy a fun action movie about a New York cop who takes down a gang of international terrorists? Are you the type of person who only feels that a movie can be good if it is an arthouse indie movie or pure Oscar bait? Because I've got news for you; you should lighten up and just enjoy a movie full of explosions and one of the greatest badasses of modern film. And you know what? If you don't like Die Hard that's fine, but maybe let the rest of us just enjoy things for a change instead of yelling at me while I'm waiting for my damn chimichanga.

Ben wears a podcaster t-shirt. Mike explains Inception.

Britta reveals that she has an ex named Blade who works for a traveling carnival. Troy and Abed watch the movie Blade. Dean Pelton tries to get Troy to join the AC Repair School. Blade is said 400,000 times (plus or minus 399,970). Pierce gets a new best friend.

We also talk probably too much about Back to the Future because Ben can't shut up about it. We also talk about how texting used to cost 10 cents per text message, and the various fictitious characters we would like to marry.

Ben doesn't give vampires a square inch of leeway. Mike gets deep into mustard lore.

This is it boys, this is war. A pillow and blanket war. Complete with narration by Keith David. Can Troy and Abed solve their difference through (pillow) violence? Can Jeff put off homework for as long as possible? Find out in this episode!

Meanwhile we're back to playing the role of mad men, Don Draper style. I feel like we've done this bit before but this time it gets sexual with tomatoes. Sorry...?

Ben is out of this episode unless he gets to be the pillow man. Mike likes this post.

There's a new student in town, and that student is also the Subway sandwich corporation. It is, surprisingly, legal. And naturally, Britta falls in love with Subway. (We also kind of go on a whole thing about Subway in this one.) Troy and Abed try to build blanket and pillow forts, respectively. Jeff does some things I guess. It's fine.

We mostly talk about fast food and the Twitter accounts of fast food places on this one. Somehow, it is a good episode regardless.

Ben orders a sandwich incorrectly. Mike misunderstands a boner joke.

Abed goes deep into debt hiring celebrity lookalikes and the study group gets recruited into being lookalikes to pay off the debt. That's pretty much the plot of this episode. Seriously, that's about it. But everybody looks like other people so it's a pretty interesting episode.

As for us, we're taking off body parts and pitching movies, two of our favorite activities. We also figure out who we are lookalikes for and the results will shock you. Unless you looked at our Twitter account last week. Then you know.

Ben becomes a sports detective. Mike adopts 40 parrots.

Shirley and Andre decide to tie the knot. Troy and Abed decide to be normal. Jeff and Britta... well... that's a whole thing. Also there's a lot about business and sandwiches and Annie's Boobs shows up at the end there and honestly there is just a lot going on in this episode.

Talking points for this episode are introductions to toasts, global variables in programming, The 40 Year Old Virgin for some reason, exes, Ronald Reagan, and your dad's podcast. (He has one, right?)

Ben defies all programming conventions. Mike subscribes to your dad's podcast.

Cats are why we can't have nice things, including regularly scheduled episodes. In this "lost" episode we talk about video games, being greasy, vinyl versions of podcasts, and air travel.

Ben is at 38,000 feet. Mike puts the podcast on vinyl.

We're back and we're talking Christmas and regionals! The study group gets recruited to glee one by one, and everybody has a good time, until they don't. That's all I really have to say about this episode, because the episode is 50% music by weight.

Ben gets replaced by a cat. Mike does some investigative sandwich journalism.

Jeff and Shirley get mixed up in the devil's game known as foosball. Annie gets caught up in lying to Abed. For once, Britta and Pierce are barely in this one... what are they up to? And more importantly, who cares?

We're talking about picking different names and unrated versions of this podcast, coming soon to a podcatcher near you.

Ben encounters SYSTEM ERROR 0x0000F0F0127. Mike stars in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Dean Pelton sets out to make a new commercial for Greendale. Abed sets out to make a documentary about Dean Pelton setting out to make a new commercial for Greendale. Everybody loses. their. minds.

Meanwhile we go down the area code rabbit hole, talk about some unbelievable moments, and really trim down the list of acceptable guests for this podcast.

Ben wants the sex question. Mike misses the forest for the trees.
