			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s been about a year since <a href="http://youtu.be/TuCJ6g0sYAo" target="_blank">Pauly Shore kicked us out of Hollywood and we decided we should maybe get some new jackets</a>.  Here&#8217;s what happened next:</p>
<p><object width="557" height="338"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f6-s26PYn04?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f6-s26PYn04?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="557" height="338" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Special thanks to our favorite actor (other than Tom Cruise) Julian Boyd who played the billionaire (and let us use his printer to print pictures of Pamela Anderson&#8217;s bazoombas). Also, our old friend Frankie Tedesco was nice enough to let us use an old commercial that he produced in his parents&#8217; family room.  We&#8217;re lucky he still had that poster lying around.  I guess no one ever bought it.</p>
<p>Please let us know what you think in the comments below!</p>
<p>And finally, this sketch release coincides with the 25th Anniversary of the release of <em>Top Gun</em>, so&#8230; that&#8217;s cool, right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a bit of a hiatus, we put the letter jackets back on this last weekend to shoot some new sketches.  Two new sketches in fact.  Hopefully we&#8217;ll get them edited real quick-like.  But we couldn&#8217;t have done it on our own.  Just wanted to say thanks to a few of our hipster friends, Julian Boyd, and even Bob and Harry (pictured below) who showed up to play a few parts and help move lights around.</p>
<p><img class="size-large wp-image-561 aligncenter" title="Harry and Bob" src="http://www.bloomingtonbros.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/2011-04-09-23.46.46-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="519" /></p>
<p>It was  a long weekend, but we think the new episodes should be some of the best yet!  Or at least one of them will be.  The other one might just confuse a lot of people.  We&#8217;ll let you decide which is which!</p>
<p>- Matt &amp; Ross</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of you have been wondering where we&#8217;ve been.</p>
<p>Last May we moved to L.A. to develop a tv show based on our web series.</p>
<p>While we WERE successful at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0i79fMedko" target="_blank">ding-dong ditching Kato Kaelin</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoCW00szk70" target="_blank">purchasing Universal Studios</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QA4JAWXgYs" target="_blank">starting our own winery</a>, and shooting the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q8i54ZbbJ8" target="_blank">&#8220;longest world&#8217;s basketball shot&#8221;</a> we just found out last week that we were NOT successful at selling our show.</p>
<p>(Even more depressing, we still haven&#8217;t found a single sponsor for our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcyILEf797A" target="_blank">fishing show</a>.  What are we doing wrong here?).</p>
<p>At the moment we&#8217;re super excited to be headed back to Bloomington to create the videos that you&#8217;ve been missing.  Expect the return of Goggles Guy, Terri Nuessle, &#8220;the kid,&#8221; and more (as well as an incredibly famous guest star in our next video).</p>
<p>We also plan on bringing you:</p>
<p>-Many more food reviews on our new series <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiFK_29WefE" target="_blank">&#8220;The Skinny.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>-A possible Bloomington Bros. movie.</p>
<p>-A rock opera based on the music of <a href="http://www.poisonweb.com/" target="_blank">Poison</a>.</p>
<p>Even though this end result wasn&#8217;t what we set out to achieve, we still consider our last year in Hollywood a huge success.  We were super lucky just to have this opportunity which has opened countless doors for future opportunities.  For that we&#8217;d like to thank:</p>
<p>Robb Buzzini for discovering us online two years ago and paving the way for the wildest ride of our lives.</p>
<p>Molly Mandel for believing in us and also being the person to finally push this project through, saving us from development purgatory.  If she hadn&#8217;t come along, we&#8217;d probably still be in a conference room right now starting from scratch again.  This chick was a miracle.</p>
<p>Sam Hansen for sticking with us this whole time and always pushing us to make things better.</p>
<p>Wendy Willis for sticking up for us (and for Prince) when need be.  One of us has a crush on you.</p>
<p>Rob Cohen for teaching us more about tv writing in one week than film school taught us in four years.  Consider us massively-humbled, sir.</p>
<p>John Elliott for taking a chance on two no-names from Bloomington, MN with only one semi-viral video.</p>
<p>Seth Morris, Kate Micucci, Paul Rust, Chad Carter, James Adomian, Rick Overton and ESPECIALLY Jake Szymanski for their time and talents.</p>
<p>Mike Farah and FunnyOrDie.com</p>
<p>Sarah Schneider and CollegeHumor.com</p>
<p>Christie Smith and Michael Lasker.</p>
<p>Our parents and Meredith.</p>
<p>Natalie Kane.</p>
<p>Chris Bruss, Charlyne Yi, Dave Horwitz, Ryan Jones, Dayna McTavish, Thuy-Van Nguyen, and Sarah Peters.</p>
<p>Swardson, Kato, Pauly, Lupita, and Jimmy Fucking Miller.</p>
<p>And finally, you, for continuing to watch and share our videos.  You&#8217;ve proven that there is an audience for our brand of humor and made the last year a possibility for us.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Matt and Ross</p>
