Yes, I do. ( American English) Informal usage.
Pull out: in this context "uses", connotes lazy, boring or disgust
blowout: i this context a quarrel or fight, probably a loud argument

Hi SoHyun,
1. Pulls out — uses, but more like only for this particular purpose
2. Blowout — a big argument or “fight” (in the verbal sense)

"Pull out" in this instance would mean "uses" - Roderick always uses the same lame excuse
"Blowout" in this case means a big argument, disagreement, or fight - We got into a big argument over the remote control.
