The Best B.S.: 'Felonyland' With Kevin Wildes

By Grantland Channel at

Bill Simmons and Kevin Wildes’s latest half-baked idea, "Felonyland,” is a theme park for adults where you get to act out your criminal fantasies. This stems from the fact that every time Bill sees a Brink's truck he plots how he would rob it.

To listen to the entire B.S. Report podcast with Kevin Wildes, you can go to ESPN.com's PodCenter or download it on iTunes.

The Half-Baked Podcast

By David Jacoby and Kevin Wildes at

This Fast Company article bills George Lois as "the original Mad Man" and "advertising's original Bad Boy." I personally think he trends more Draper than Craig Mack, but sure. In any event, here's my favorite part of the article: "To create great work, here's how you must spend your time: 1% inspiration, 9% perspiration, 90% justification."

This half-baked ideas podcast is that 90 percent. Although come to think of it, since these ideas are half-baked, we probably could have topped out at 45 percent. Ideas we try to justify:

  • Old Men Can't Jump (The Expendables’ casting director meets White Men Can't Jump)
  • Shark Bite Body Modification
  • Winnie Cooper Mini Cooper
  • YouCube
  • Demolition Party
  • Self-Stacking Dishwasher

So if you love Billy Hoyle and dishwashers, you've come to the right place.
