Join us for a raw, unpolished episode of Don't Encourage Us as we dive into the vault of never-before-heard clips! This week, we're bringing you a mixed bag of outtakes, idiocy, and embarrassing moments that are too good to stay buried.

First, get ready to cringe and laugh at us as we revisit our chaotic review of the 2008 M. Night Shyamalan Scifi/Thriller, The Happening. These unaired gems feature our host's desperate attempts to keep up with his guests and the bewildering thriller. Was Mark Wahlberg's performance secretly brilliant? Is this podcast doomed to fail before it even begins? Listen to clips from one of the episodes that convinced our host he needed a permanent co-host to manage this nonsense.

Next, we switch gears as Steve joins the show full time and our hosts discuss the future of Don't Encourage Us. What should this podcast really be about? Should we aim for highbrow commentary or embrace the chaos? Listen in as the hosts debate their vision, mission, and the questionable cocktails that fuel their creativity.

Finally, indulge in some reality TV revelations as we share clips from an episode dedicated to the glitzy, scandalous world of reality shows. Technical problems prevented this episode from airing but sample bits of our hosts pitching their own reality show ideas and get a taste of what might of been.

What's The Happening all about? Check out the trailer here.
