We finally conclude our four-part MacGruber movie watchalong, but not before we address a litany of pressing questions, including: Who's paying the lawyers? Where is all our money? Why is Jeremy Piven eating so much tuna? Will the translucent tarp protect the staff? Why exactly are we doing this podcast? How many people can Adelphia Restaurant accommodate for a private event? And perhaps most important, what's the perfect amount of saxophone?

This week, the Sax Dragons get substantially saxier, the fans weigh in on the fate of It's Bum Sperm Time, we discover the source of the excess moisture in Jeff's office, Jay pays tribute to a Miata of many colors, and we continue our watchalong. Oh, and we finally get an actual sponsor!

In addition to part two of our ongoing MacGruber movie watchalong, we provide an update on potential sponsorships, insights into the two irascible 19th century street urchins haunting our studio, additional advice from our legal counsel, and a potential path to discontinuing our most popular segment, "It's Bum Sperm Time."

This week, we finally get our act together and record the first installment of our MacGruber movie watchalong. But first, we close the books on It's Bum Sperm Time (maybe), hear from the newest iteration of the Sax Dragons, and continue our relentless pursuit of audacious self-improvement.

The guys promise a MacGruber movie watchalong, fail to deliver, correct myriad errors from the previous episode, while simultaneously creating even more inaccuracies that will need to be thoroughly addressed in upcoming episodes. Engineer Klaus returns to clean up the mess, and the Sax Dragons unveil a new genre-bending hit. And, of course, we continue everyone’s favorite segment, “It’s Bum Sperm Time.”

In this episode of Rippin' Throats: a MacGruber Podcast, Jeff and Jay discuss the movie's debut, its astonishingly negative critical reception, and the few brilliant minds who immediately grasped its enduring brilliance. Before any of that, though, the guys spend 30 minutes correcting errors from the last episode, saluting another Miata owner, and continuing (perhaps even resolving) the ongoing debate on the true meaning of bum sperm.

[As of this episode's release, the podcast is not officially sponsored by Molson Coors Beverage Company. Of course, that is always subject to change. In fact, by the time you read this, they could very well be an official sponsor. In the likely event that happens, we will probably just remove the question mark from the episode title. And that's how you'll know they're an official sponsor. But to reiterate, they are not an official sponsor right now. Which is why we have a question mark after "Brought to you by Molson?"]

Thinking we haven't spent enough time discussing bum sperm? Curious how much Shrek 4 cost to make? Wondering if Miata co-designer Bob Hall has a twin brother? (Spoiler: He does!) All these questions, and more, are answered in this episode, as we follow the movie from production to debut.

Continuing our exploration of the origins of the MacGruberverse, we remember the 2009 Super Bowl, revisit our thoughts on bum sperm, determine the precise value of paying another human to shoot ping pong balls from their butt, continue our thrashing of Jeremy Piven, and hear two instant holiday classics from our house band, Sax Dragons.

Despite Jeremy Piven’s best attempts to ruin it, the debut of the MacGruber character on Saturday Night Live in 2007 marks the start of an era — an era that peaks with a destitute MacGruber debasing himself for pocket money in a sketch that to this day haunts the dreams of all who have seen it.
