The 232nd episode of ''[[Half in the Bag]]'' is another bi-annual roundup, their '''''2024 Mid-year Catch-up'''''.

[[Mike]] has a brilliant new edge to their scheme: instead of ''pretending to fix'' one VCR, they fix ''several'' different VCRs, one for each tape!

Then [[The Dunkster|a TikTok Influencer]] shows up to freak them out.

Beyond the chapter list, this episode has no description.

There is also a pinned comment with the following:

<blockquote>Sorry about the out of focus two shot. Both of them thought the other had checked the shot. Mike was drunk and Jay was HAF. They focused each others’ shots IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. And that is NOT Mike in Lousy Carter. The movie Mike is in is called Lousy Farter. He’s also in a movie called “Mike thinks he looks less fat when the shot is out of focus”. Jay is also in a movie called “Pig was my favorite movie of the last ten years cause I’m a fucking weirdo”. So again, Mike and Jay do not have a crew or a budget or anything else worthwhile in life. They do fail upwards constantly. Or rather, fail sideways. Mike continues failing sideways if you know what I mean. Or he like’s to call it “Horizontal Expansion”. Mike has just purchased stock in a company that makes belts for overweight bovine. They are looking to expand (pun intended) into the human market by selling their leather belts to portly gentlemen. You may wonder why a cow would need a belt? Or why a cow would wear a leather belt in the first place. The answer: Don’t ask you scum. It’s none of your business. Mike is gonna have over $5,000 dollars in his bank account when this stock goes public rest assured you fucks. Then he’s gonna retire and live the good life on a cattle ranch wearing belts made of his friends.
</blockquote>
“Likes” is misspelled with an apostrophe.

“HAF” stands for “high as fuck”.

=== Part 2 ===

<blockquote>(00:00) The Iron Claw
(04:55) The Phantom Menace re-release

(06:15) Last Stop in Yuma County

(09:57) Time Addicts

(11:19) Kim’s Video

(15:55) Abigail

(25:08) Love Lies Bleeding

(31:46) Mike Forces Jay to Watch an Embarrassing Trailer
</blockquote>
There is also a pinned comment with the following:

<blockquote>Dear friends, Mike totally forgot Time Addicts was Australian not British. It was a while since he had seen it and when they talk trashy them kind of sound alike. It’s kind of like when people say Milwaukee is in Michigan. Or that Minnesota is in Wisconsin, or that Minneapolis is in Milwaukee. No one really knows where these places are. If someone says “Blimey!” “Dodgy” or some other word it’s “British”. And when Mike says “British” he means “Everywhere else in the world except Wisconsin” and as we all know Wisconsin is the best place in the galaxy.
</blockquote>

== Remarks ==

The duo claims the last film they watched in the theater is [[Ghostbusters - Afterlife|Ghostbusters: Afterlife]], but they are probably confusing it with [[Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire]].

== Themes ==

Mike gives Jay a [[sarcastic "That’s Right"]].

Mike starts part 2 with [["And we're back!"]].

== Previously On ==

Mike and Jay briefly mention [[Harry S. Plinkett|Mr. Plinkett]]’s review of ''[[Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review|Star Wars: The Phantom Menace]]''.
