Welcome to guys, a podcast about guys. I'm Brian. I was going to add a laugh track to this because we're of the subject, but then I would have had to go home Get a laugh track. What are you? You were gonna put it on the soundbar cuz I was gonna say you don't add anything after the That's my laugh track and as you can hear Chris is here there are no other co-hosts. Yeah, that's right We're back to just me. We had a little bit of a run there where we were trying out new guys.

I didn't really know what it was all about, to be honest. I wasn't in the loop on that, but yeah, there was new guys that were coming in every week and doing a tryout sort of thing, but it's just me. So I guess none of them worked out. And our guest, who I am excited to have and nervous about, Sean Clements. Hi, Sean. Get out of here.

Come on. I'm nervous. You make me nervous. You make me nervous. I told Chris, I did a Hollywood handbook and I told Chris, I was like, at first I was like the most nervous guy in the world, but then, you know, behind the scenes, I felt pretty good. You felt taken care of? That's really nice to hear. world. But then, you know, behind the scenes, I felt pretty good. Like after a few minutes.

That's really nice to hear. It's definitely not always the case, but it is our intention. Well, I wanted to, okay, so this was the thought process this, this was okay. Disney guys, Chris was like, Sean would love that. We do Disney guys. Now I learned about Disney guys. I spent a full day looking at, there's too full day looking. There's too many of them. There's just, there's like 800 different types of them. It's insane. And it's a lot of women. And I was just kind of like, I don't know, three guys, three of us talking about women that that episode is going to be problematic. Three guys talking about women. At some point we forget the mics are here

and we just start saying what we actually think. And the guys show is talking women, it's not, you know, there's a reason you focus on guys. Yeah, you can't control yourself. Sometimes, so the secret is we do read posts by women, you just will never hear the name of the person posting. Because I don't read the name of the person posting you do Sometimes I'll read people's full names, but only if it's a guy. Yeah, I really like secrets out of you

And then finally I said Chris could we do improv guys? with Sean No, well, I didn't say no I said absolutely fucking not he will get so mad at us Don't say that. I said absolutely fucking not. He will get so mad at us. Don't say that. That's not at all. You just said you think it would be a good idea to do improv guys with Sean. And I think I said, I don't know, I think we could do a better topic. Maybe that's just what I felt like. Yeah, but I it was no.

You're making it seem like we're going to get on to do improv guys then. Well, I don't know. It's true. Yeah. Well, but maybe what was the concern, concern Chris that I'm too close to it Yeah, that you would have an improv guys Know that you're not an improv guy, but that you would maybe we'd be making fun of stuff And then you'd be like oh, this is like I know a friend of mine who I do improv with who had a similar sort Of thing to this, you know Like I feel like I'm now making fun of the people that I that's what I kind of thought. Oh, yeah

No, yeah, all I do is make fun of people that I know What I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get my daughter to do improv. Why did you say that on the podcast? Why would you why would you bring up that? I didn't want to do improv guys? This is all that's gonna be talked about power of veto. This is Done yeah, everything on reddit now is gonna be like honestly like I just all I could think about is how good Improv guys was Sean could have been if Chris the tyrant had a step to is a tyrant too So we could have done an hour and a half just on Mike Burbiglia's improv guy movie Hey listen that was a pretty good movie to be honest I got no we're trying to get burbiglia on the show

Yeah, I get him on here. Well, you could do improv guys with him. I mean, yeah, he made the movie I don't think I would feel comfortable doing a show with Burbiglia. I don't know I don't like him I don't know. He just feels like he's too big You know, he's a big yeah, he's huge Sean. You're famous to you. Don't let Chris make you feel un-famous No, no, no, I'm a fucking joke man. No, you're the most famous on this call right now. You're most famous by a million So so I decided to do another showbiz, because we had Hayes on, we did Rat Pack guys. That's a very show business sort of thing.

So I picked sitcom guys, and they, turns out, are very fucking weird. And we're not talking about guys in sitcoms. Now, there was one minute, one fucking minute, where I thought it would be funny to talk about actual characters in sitcom. Yeah, we just talked about like the just the three guys from Friends we could probably have some fan fiction about them eccentricities those guys honestly. I just quirky you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm just wondering if we could maybe change the topic

because I'm getting a bit worried I realize Sean has written on sitcoms and. Oh, absolutely. No, this is much more comfortable for me than improv guys. Because the thing is, my whole career is kind of tied to me, like staying on good terms with a lot of the sitcom guys that I know. Yeah, of course. And they aren't these guys. That's like how I make money is writing for shows versus the improv guys We're never we never were gonna make any money. That's like what God we should have done improv guys

I'm trying to get my kid to do it improv. Oh, yeah, you know, I signed my kid up for a summer camp that has like a Story Telling improv the element to it and I don't know how it's gonna go. He's not excited for it. And I don't know, Chris, you have kids? How old, how old is there? So I have a six-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl, and they're amazing.

But I've been talking about this recently, and it's related. He's the best, but he essentially has no imagination and his little sister. All she wants to do is pretend. And so it's all like, OK, like you're the you're the doggy. And I'm the and he's like, no, I'm not. Yeah. And my daughter. Yeah, I told her I told her you should do improv.

You're pretty funny. She's been on the podcast before It just clear hit Brian's daughter is 20 years old. So it is it's like a little bit of a different situation Yeah, but still still he has a friend that does improv and she goes to the shows and Every fucking time she texts me and she's like, you know, I went I went to his improv show and he's very brave She never says it's funny not one fucking time. his improv show and he's very brave. She never says it's funny. Not one fucking time. She's just like, it's very brave what he's doing. So I looked up the most controversial sitcom opinions on our slash sitcoms, which is a very active sub Reddit that I wouldn't have it because sometimes I'll look and be like, like our slash entertainment I looked

at yesterday and it's like all politics, which you're not allowed to do on our slash rant. I have a lot of like, I, you know, I get force fed some like our slash screenwriting stuff. Like all the entertainment industry stuff right now is very, very bleak. Yes, the stand-up comedy one is hardcore. You just look at it, you're like, oh no. Like, they're the last, the last ones left. You know, we haven't lost them yet, but they're probably the next to go. So they can see the writing on the wall.

Yeah. So let's see what's the most writing on the wall and the riffing on it. So what's the most controversial sitcom hot take? And this first one I think is pretty wild. And it really, it really gives you the vision for what these guys are. Mine is that I thought Eight Simple Rules

was better show after the dad's passing. It's really, and that guy literally died. Like it's not like the dad. Is that John Ritter? No, that's John Ritter. Yeah, that's John Ritter. Legend, comedic actor, John Ripper. Love it. Actor John Ritter. God, I'm already uncomfortable. Yeah, it's really, it's really unfortunate that John Ritter

passed away in real life. He was a great actor, but I feel that the dad's death added an extra layer of emotion to the show. Parent deaths have been in sitcoms before but rarely A main character parent to a young family, so it made the show more interesting to me Also, I really enjoyed the addition of CJ and grandpa. What's your most controversial? Controversial sitcom hot take and I thought that was good because I liked the idea that like they're like you know controversial when the episode started Versio I say first seal. Okay. Is that right? I don't think so

Well, we're saying like I didn't mean to cut you off. I'm sorry I just honestly I felt like it was very comfortable for you to say and then you just lost it Yeah, he does that sometimes. It's hard to read. I will say that it could be a regional thing, but I've never heard controversy. No, maybe it is. That's how we say it in Ohio. Controversial. I think it's an either or situation, I think. Fine.

Okay. I love Matt about you, but giving Paul and Jamie a child was not the best decision. Oh. Okay. Now, did they have a kid during the original run of the series or was it only in the reboot? Is there a reboot of mad about you? They did do uh they did like another. Yeah, they did a modernized season of it. I

mean probably five years ago or something um and I know from someone who was working on the production side of it that they went through like six show runners for like one season of Mad About You. So it means it was going well. They kept being like, maybe the issue is the writer. And it was like, well, we shouldn't be doing it. It's funny because the next guy does reply and he goes my dad always said that as soon as a child is Introduced on a show for example seven on married with children or a couple has a baby The show is going downhill and they're grasping at straws

Friends was the only one I noticed it didn't happen in because Emma was always over at either Ross's or Rachel's parents and wasn't Made the focus so mmm. Oh, either Ross's or Rachel's parents and wasn't made to focus, so. Oh, so yeah, it was cool on Friends because they had the kid and then realized. They dealt with it as if the kid, I think this is actually correct for the sitcom. They only used the kid if it was gonna drive like a comedy story between your two characters.

So it was like Ross doesn't want a male nanny or something would be like, okay, the manny episode, we could do that. And that is using the kid because it's really all about the caretakers. But there was never any like- Using it as a tool, using the child as like a tool. In the scene now that is like somehow an active participant, they didn't really do that.

Here's an interesting thing. Cosby shows a prime example after Rudy stopped being cute. They had to bring in Raven Simone to bring back those cutesy little kid jokes. Yeah, that is so true. You can't just say after she started stopped being cute. No, but they're right about that. They're right about it.

They just mean she got older. Do you know what I mean? Like she just grew up. That's all. She grew up. Well, and that reminds me of something that we covered way back when Hayes and I were doing this show called the Reality Show Show,

where we were watching all the different reality shows. And there was a show briefly that I want to remind you guys about called Splash. And it was a diving, a celebrity diving competition. So like various, out of the limelight celebrities. But how high level, like give us a couple examples. I'm looking at them.

It's got Keisha Knight-Booleum. Yeah, so basically Rudy from the Cosby show was one of the divers and they get coached by Greg Louganis or whatever and they go and they try to do a dive and like Louis Anderson I guess was like a big storyline on it. Just that he was willing to jump into the water at all became like this huge like tearful moment.

But when Rudy is first introduced she walks out in her swimsuit to dive, the adult version of this like child we watch on TV. They had like custom music behind all of the celebrities as they would like walk out to the diving board. And theirs was like this like very funky jazzy and went, Rudy is all grown up. Those songs were written by, I get those songs were written by the Jingle Punks. So the Jingle Punks wrote Rudy's All Grown Up

and it was kind of like, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. It's like, all right, man. Man, those celebrity shows are so good. It's just like, celebrities are, once you become a celebrity, you have to keep being a celebrity pretty much at some point And so what are you gonna fucking not do you're gonna just hang out like?

And so there's all these executives who really realize that and they're just like we can get celebrities to do anything if we put them On TV we will put you on TV Huge it was a huge breakthrough for people when they were like doing the real world and they were like, can we just do the real world? But it's all people who just haven't been on TV in 20 years, but they want to be. And it just, we put them in a house and make them do stupid challenges. It was like, yup. And then that just, the dam opened and then you got Splash, they can dive, they can do

anything. How long did Splash, how many seasons did Splash run for? I believe it was only one. What? And then that just the damn open and then you got splash they can dive they could do anything How long did spot how many seasons did splash? I believe it was only one Looking at the wiki now one season eight episodes. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous when it comes More yeah, I know I think that shows there must have been something wrong with the production or something because when you have something that's that strong You got dancing with the stars have been on for 20 years yeah diving with the stars gets one yep i'm not saying it's as good but i would like to see holy moly do a uh celebrity edition that now that's something i could get behind you ever seen that show? What was that? So is that the golf one with Steph Curry? So I have a-

Rob Riggle. But Steph Curry's the producer on it, no? Yes, yes, and he comes in and putts sometimes. That's true. They're like, do you want to putt against Steph Curry? It's his idea. He's obsessed with golf. He loves golf.

You know, I developed, speaking of sitcom guys, I developed a multi-cam sitcom with Steph Curry's production company. It was about a retired NBA player. Basically, what's his, kind of what we're talking about are these celebrities can't get it, what's his life gonna be now that he's out of the league? And I was told at the top,

hey, Steph's gonna come to all the pitches or the big ones, and he's gonna be there, and it'll be really exciting for them, and we'll get this set up somewhere. And then we do four of the first six pitches, and he's not there. And one of them, I walk in and literally I sit down, and the executive across from me is just like,

is Steph Curry not coming? And they're like, wow, no, he's busy, you know, he's doing the, and she's like, I told my son I was gonna meet Steph Curry today. I was gonna get a picture with him. And we're like, okay, okay, and she's like, well, do the pitch, I guess. Oh.

And of course, that's setting me up to talk for 25 minutes uninterrupted. In the coldest room imaginable. But so for the last one, so I was like, hey guys, like if Steph could just fucking call, like if he just like gets on speaker, I think that'll really help us like sell this thing. Like it's like his, you know, his name on it. And then they go like, we'll do you one better.

We got a video. And the video, I've told this story before I'm sure, but like the video is him like taking a selfie video and he's on a golf course and the wind is so loud you can barely hear him. And he's just like, and he's like, hey guys, you know, just, I love the show, family's everything, you know, and this is about it, it's this guy's family.

And, you know, I'm a little sorry Obviously, I'm recording this on a golf course You may you can't hear me great, but I think when you see who I'm golfing with you'll forgive me And they turn the camera out. It's Phil Mickelson He's just like say hi Phil feels like hi that it's like so they show me this and I'm like Wow, I'm not sure if we should even show that. It does prove we know Steph Curry. Or we paid for a cameo or whatever.

Yeah. That looks like a cameo. It sounds like a cameo. Totally, yes. It was that energy where I was like, does he even know what his show is? And Phil Mickelson is a big golfer. In the golf world, Phil Mickelson's obviously huge,

but I don't know, when you're saying, you're gonna forgive me based on who this is, I think you're thinking it's like, it's Barack Obama or something. On site, I don't think he's like a real needle mover for everyone, yeah. I totally agree. It's funny, the wall I bumped up against,

other than not being super talented, when I was trying to do standup comedy, was that- This guy always talks about standup, by the way. That's me, yeah. I had asked somebody one time, how do you get to be at the Funny Bone? Which is that A. They have an open mic there probably once a week.

But they won't let you do it, unless you audition for the owner of the Funny bone the general manager of the funny bone by himself Yeah, they love to do that Mitzi style all the club managers are like, yeah, I'm the Mitzi of this area This isn't a mall in Columbus. Oh I don't think I'm gonna be a stand-up comedian. It's just not. I'll never make it past this wall right here that I bumped up against. That's making me feel better about never trying it. A lot of people go, you've never tried stand-up. You didn't even do it when I'm like, I wish I did it for like a month even to be

like, well, I tried it. It wasn't for me, but this is making me feel like, no, it's fine. You know, I did like six months and then I got to five minutes and I was like, boy, I bet you if I did the funny bones and people people would notice me, which is crazy because again, it's the general manager of a funny bone in a ball in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Yeah. Six months in is around the time though, when you have like a couple of good sets of comedy and then you're just like, yeah, like I'm ready to take the next step.

Like that's when you start feeling that way. Definitely. I used to do, I used to do a bit of stand up myself, Sean. I don't, but. I'm sorry, I have bad news for you, which is my AirPods were connected to my phone and not my computer for the first, for this whole past 20 minutes.

And so my sound is gonna be fucked up. But you're, but you're recording, are you recording locally and that will be fine? I'm recording into the mic, but it's gonna be getting you guys too. Oh I see, you know what, that's totally fine. Because your voices will come out of the computer. We'll just use this.

I'm sorry about that. We'll use it, we'll use this and it's not a problem. Now you guys are gonna hear, wow, the sound has improved. That's all, listen, they don't even know. Sorry about that. For them it was just the way it was and now it's better. So in their minds, they're only getting it improved. And the fact that you caught it 19 minutes in, we, I mean, we go for three and a

half hours here, so it's not even, not even a blip. This person in r slash sitcoms asks, is it me or does Pam from the office seem like she always has bad breath? Hmm. Oh wow. Okay. No, I've thought I think that about people a lot when I see them, definitely. That's a look that I definitely take note of. Mostly though. What do you think of me? No, I know you don't have bad breath because I've met you before.

But I would say, I would guess that Sean has, you have good breath, would be my guess, Sean. But mostly older. It depends. Well, in general, when you're in a situation where you're gonna be interacting with people, but of course, you know We can all be you know, here's what I'll say Chris and I appreciate the vote of confidence I have an awareness of my breath. So my breath is bad, but I usually like no Yeah, the people who are a real problem are like they have no idea. You're like do I tell them?

I think with me like are there days when I have bad breath I'm like yeah, there are but I'm looking to solve it And you're looking to mitigate the like effects of it or whatever you're not going out I'm turning I'm turning away from I'm getting a little distance while we talk, you know what I mean I'm finding a reason to have a barrier in between us Yeah find a reason to have a barrier in between us. Yeah, pretending like a lot of stuff is a secret. And I'm on the hunt for a mint. Yeah, and I'm pretending a lot of stuff is a secret that isn't really a secret, just so I can kind of put the hand over the mouth. Yeah, I get to the ear, yeah.

I smell myself all day, like every 15 or 20 minutes. I'm like. You are obsessed with it, but Brian, you, a lot, we've talked about this a lot. Brian is a remarkably good smelling guy, so it pays off. the fact that you're like worried about it does pay off for you You know, you have nothing to worry about house this this guy goes. I think that about Miley Cyrus And then this person says I'm still at the beginning of season 8, but I think it's just you If that changes as I end this series, I'll return and report back, but she's my favorite character, so I'm doubting it.

So maybe we'll find out a little later on in season 8 or 9. Maybe something. There'll be more disturbing. The person who is watching TV and thinks the character has bad breath or the person whose favorite character on the office is Pam. is Pam. Yeah. Or nobody, people say like Jim and Pam as a couple, sometimes they'll say that, but I feel like- Just standalone favorite character is Pam. Pam, I've never heard that before.

I'm going straight at the office ladies now. This guy goes, maybe Creed. Maybe I don't wanna say anything. Oh my goodness, listen, I wanna apologize, Sean apologize Sean for putting you that position where you had to make fun of one of your colleagues That's if it would not have happened had we done a certain guys and I don't think I even need to say it now Chris said it maybe Creed maybe I don't want to say anything about him for sure because he's apparently a real person Also, there's the possibility that Dwight has some type of elixir he drinks that makes him have bad breath that connects to some pride in his family.

You never know with Dwight. Oh, I would totally buy that. Dwight's beat farm. Can I say though that the type of, Creed 100% has bad breath. He is the kind of guy that I have my eye out for. And I'm sorry to say it's a little ageist, but it's generally older people, older men,

and who look a certain way. And if I saw Creed, I would be confident he had bad breath. But did you know he's a real person? Yeah, they just mean like, like he's not acting. They've used some of the actor's real life specifics and injected them into the character. I think Creed was in like a psychedelic rock band or something in the 60s and so was the actor.

I see, I know that. Whose name is also Creed, right? His name is Creed as well, so he's kind of not an actor and they are all acting around him. He's a real person. He's living his life kind of. And they just tell him. The office would do this, guys.

Okay. The office would actually do, they would just use it. They would just use real life. That's why I feel you feel like you fucking know these folks. And by the way, we'll be doing improv guys cause they're improvising in that show. I mean, they had to start injecting it because they, right? the original office was so

Short and then they wanted to cool and edgy too. Yeah. Well, I didn't believe in God on that one This one's more Christian. Yeah, no, I didn't notice that was an atheist. Yeah On this pod we loved your base unless you believe in a little man in the sky on this pod we loved your face. Oh, unless you believe in a little man in the sky. Yeah, that's, that's kind of our Gervais. I would expect that there are some people there with coffee breath, but I imagine it would be more a case with the guys. And then finally this guy says to me, she seems like she would smell faintly of cat pee. So, so just saying she's a cat lady, like saying she does look like that's Angela. I know. That's what I was thinking too. But I got your office ladies crossed up. Yeah. If you could go out

the other office ladies right. She's the other office lady. Do you reply to the comments. Is that part of the show. I wish I could reply. We we have determined that Angela smells like cat. We on the guys podcast have determined that Angela smells like cat. We on the guys podcast have determined that Angela smells like you're, you seem to be mixing up, but maybe she just thinks like, yeah, that she's also a cat lady as well. It's obvious that like Angela's not my favorite character, but I do think I would know if she was a cat lady. I think they would have covered that. It's a look though, because the big show, the wrestler, I know he smells like egg salad.

You know what I mean? Just a real gross looking guy, you know? So this guy says, if you could go out for one night with a sitcom cast, what cast would it be? I don't know if that's come up before. Me, no. I'm into the best wrestling all elite wrestling I'm hoping to get a job ever even heard of that Chad be honest Have you ever even heard of all wrestling all elite? Yeah all oh

I remember when it was some elite He's making He's a comedian so he's making jokes to try to like make you know he knows about it He's never heard of it before he's riffing with you But he's never heard of the it's not like WWE as my point It's not like the big one that good then people know about anyway This person goes want to say it's always sunny in Philadelphia, but I probably wouldn't survive so Tacoma FD should be a blast Wait the Tacoma fire

Is that the guys like I don't think it's the super trooper guys. Yeah. Broken lizard guys, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's club dread. So why would you want to fire? Why do you want to hang out with them when they're firemen? What? Like you could hire, you could, I guess there are troopers in the other one, but wait, and like, uh, couldn't you just hang out with them on their own? Like... Probably a funny firehouse, I would say. They're probably cracking up in there.

I've never watched a coma FD. I've never watched it. I've never watched it. We had them on handbook when the show first came out. Yeah. The two main guys. And were, like, did you... Did you hang out with them after out with a comment on it?

You know what? It ended up being a zoom episode. So it was, it was kind of the same energy we have now. Yeah. Did you hang out with them after it was fine. We all stayed in the zoom and just like cracked a couple cold ones and chopped it up. Yeah. Yeah.

That's cool. That's why I want to hear what that this person goes friends because it's pretty low key hanging out in a coffee shop and maybe listening to local artists. I'm not much of a drinker. So yeah, I would just like I just like to have some friends. Well, then this guy says friends so I could try to hook up with Rachel.

Okay, wow. It's a reply to get the reply. That was going to be my answer. Other cast may be fun to hang out with, but no, it'll be more fun to go home with. And as long as there was a chance. Yeah, these are these guys have taken a wrong turn from the chive and they're just like over here. Like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'd love to fuck some of them though. Right. It's like, no, we're not talking about that, we're just talking about hanging out with them. It's like, but I mean, once you hang out,

sometimes it leads to more, right? She's not, she's dating people on the show. Yeah, so she's been cheating. She's a sexually active character. Jesus. You're telling me I'm living inside the show and I'm supposed to put that entire part of my life away? Like I get to join the, so I join the show,

but then like I'm some kind of fucking priest on there? Jesus Christ. Joey Tribbiani's getting it in every which way. Joey Tribbiani's getting it in every which way. Yeah. He's doing everything everywhere all at once. He does fuck so much. Oh my God. I'd fuck him.

Joey was smashing. Jesus Christ, I don't know if that would be my explicit intent, but when I shoot my shot at Rachel and I just miss hit Joey by accident. I was always a Monica fan. If I can be honest, I was always found Monica to be more sexually attractive. And you got a type.

So I would probably, if I was in there, what I'm saying is I'd be trying to fuck Monica. I'd be trying to get in with her, trying to wine and dine her. Well, fuck, man. You don't want to join the seasons that she's with Tom Selleck But most of the other most of the other periods of the show. I feel like you that's actually true I would I would lay down to Tom Selleck if actually Can I tell you guys something there is a fan fiction where Tom Selleck Richard?

Joey and Chandler suck and fuck each other. And I do have it right here in front of me that I had, cause I had one, I have one erotic fan fiction from friends and then one from Andy Griffith. They left Ross out of it. It is they they're doing naked Wednesday, which is I think a gag from the show and Ross yeah, I feel like I can I can tell I can kind of see it though Honestly why you'd leave Ross just doesn't feel like he would he might throw the vibes off Honestly, Richard was you know Ross Ross and Monica our brother and sister Yeah, Richard was sleeping with Monica. It feels like the taboo of this man

Richard was sleeping with Monica. It feels like the taboo of this man dating his sisters or sleeping with his sister's boyfriend to somebody who's writing this level of fan fiction would possibly be enticing. But it feels like maybe it was too much for them. Maybe they said like, oh no, that would throw the vibes off because it'd be like, oh, like, I'm in love with my sister.

I believe Richard's backstory is that he was there like pediatrician or something. Yeah, I'm in the middle of the world with my sister. I believe Richard's backstory is that he was their, like, pediatrician or something. Yeah, I think it's kind of not a good backstory. Yeah, I think he was like their doctor, their childhood doctor, and then he's sleeping with her. Yeah. Well, this opens with Joey and Chandler,

it's Naked Wednesday, we're getting naked, and we're gonna sit and watch TV. They're naked in their apartment. I don't wanna read that part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably sitting on their two recliners. We all know the scene. And it goes, it's open, come in.

They both reply, it's Richard, Monica's boyfriend. Richard asks, can I join you? Chandler says, you need to get a chair from Monica first. Richard goes over to Monica's apartment. As Richard is leaving Monica's apartment, you can hear dishes breaking. Monica has heard saying, take the chair and get out, you bastard. Then there's the sound of a dish breaking.

Richard reenters Joey and Chandler's apartment. What happened? And he goes, I broke up with Monica. Can I have a beer? So, oh, that's not with Monica. That's actually interesting. Yeah, that they did feel the need to clean that up, that he's not cheating. They don't like adultery in this scenario.

And no wonder Ross isn't there. They've got exactly like standards. Mm hmm. Yeah. He goes, he lifts his T-shirt over his head and reveals his hairy chest. Chandler and Joey look over as Richard is removing his belt very sexily. Then Richard unbuttons and unzips his pants and slides them to his knees, then he kicks them off. Chandler and Joey are staring at Richard's gray boxers,

wondering what is underneath. He removes them very slowly, and finally after about two minutes, he pulls them down so you can see his pubic hair. Richard holds his butt. Can I just say, can I just say, can I just interrupt? These descriptions, let me know.

Whoever wrote this, I'm assuming it's a guy. This guy's gotten undressed before. You know what I mean? Like it feels authentic to the experience. The way he took his shirt off, or like lowering the pants to get them to foot level and maybe stepping out of them. The two minutes to get the underwear down feels extreme to me, but everybody's got

kind of their own journey to go on. Yeah, and you know, he moves on. Sorry, you were at the pubic hair. Talk about the pubic hair. Oh yeah, well he goes, now what, Richard asks. Joey says, we watch porn and drink beers. Yeah. If they were all really drunk,

they decided to order a pizza. The guy at the pizza place said they would be at least An hour so the guys become bored Chandler suggests, how about we play truth or dare? Okay, so this is this is kind of a really introductory Like it's kind of just you're really basic sort of like is the pizza delivery guy gonna get involved, do you think, possibly?

Like, I feel like that could be. But yeah, just the truth or dare, you know, that's kind of all how it- The truth or dare piece. Yeah. It does. It does feel kind of cool, Richard, this 65 year old hunk. It's like, truth or dare.

Richard, Richard being in the story is crazy enough. I think that the person was just like, he's like, he's so hot and sexy that he has to be in the story, you know? Like he's this like super hot mustache guy. Wait, does he have a mustache in the show? Yeah. Yeah. Well he does, because he famously,

yeah, because. He famously, it smells like pussy juice. What because he famously, it smells like pussy juice. What famously it smells like pussy juice. I don't. I was going to say Chandler gets in my fiction. I wrote I see. I was going to say Chandler gets a mustache, right? He comes into that one seat and he's got a mustache because he wants to be like he wants to be more like, oh yeah, I think they both they they both do to hit Joey one too. They can't grow a good mustache, but they're trying to kind of be like Richard. So yeah, I think they both do. Joey grows one too. They can't grow a good mustache, but they're trying to kind of be like Richard. So yeah, that sort of, it does make sense

when you consider that, that they're kind of like in love with Richard in like a non-sexual way. Yes, I'm remembering now, that is part of the show. They're infatuated with him. Yeah. Well, this person says, Seinfeld, for sure, just to hear their banter based off of conversations I am involved in would be fascinating. I'll just go to the comments

Go to the question is if you could be inside hang out hang out with them But that just sounds like you want to go to What's the comedy club in New York the seller you want to tell her table? I want to sit at the table at the cellar and then you can get all of that. Yeah You know we talked about all the time You guys start at the funny bone Yeah, you gotta get in front of that funny bone guy. That's the problem You don't start you at the table at the cellar Certainly not

Bone in Columbus, Ohio in the fashion place the table at the table Be at the table at the funny bone. The table. Me at the table at the funny bone at Easton Fashion Place. This person says, modern family, drinking with the adults and Haley would be a good time. Now, I don't know who Haley is. Haley's like one of the children, but I don't know what age she is. She's like a teenager. Yeah, she's a teenager in the show.

It goes for a while though. I don't know at the end of the series how old she is. I think her name is Sarah Hyland, and she's dating, bringing it back to reality shows, she's dating or maybe married to this guy Wells who was on The Bachelor. Oh, one name guy? He was on The Bachelorette, his name is Wells,

and he then became the bartender at Bachelor in Paradise. So he would be making drinks, making little quips, and he'd be somebody who they would commiserate with, or like, you know, he'd almost be a bartender. Sometimes he's sort of a therapist to people. I find that, I find that. Yeah, when they had stuff going on. So Wells is with her now.

So I don't really like, is this person talking about trying to romantically pursue this girl? She is very young in the show. And also she has a partner. And also she's underaged to drink at all. She's underaged to drink as well. Even if he's just saying, hey, it'd be good to drink with her.

Like, I don't know, is that some storyline? Is that something from the show that we should recognize? Why would he? I don't know this one as well as I know friends, and it was really fun for us all to remember things from friends. Fuck, I love you. I don't know it as well as I know the office either.

The monkey of friends? She, I believe, was dating. Remember the monkey? Oh, Marcel. She was dating. Marcel. Sarah Hyland's character, Haley, was dating, I think, Adam Devine in the show. Oh, for some portion of the run, I think he played her her boyfriend.

So that makes me think that she must have gotten, you know, she must have been older. Yeah. Older of age. Yeah. Yeah. I will say this finally very strange as well So even want to drink with the modern like that just sounds like like maybe this is an older person Just like once I have that kind of dinner party feel or whatever But I just that seems like an odd answer to me like it's a very square answer O'neill At O'neill and cam but guess what I am going to Sean Sean I am gonna sit down with that O'Neill

I'm gonna sit down with them if fucking Ed Bundy Yeah, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna have ed O'Neill though as in Bundy form for sure That's when I'm gonna want to hang out with the hell. Yeah flush that toilet. No ma'am. Yeah Here's here's a guy that says all in the family I'm not much for being around people but I like a good argument So we don't know if he's arguing with meathead or with the other guy Archie But one of the meathead or the other guy that's how they always listen Archie but one need head or the other guy that's how they always listen and if finally this person just says not a sitcom

proper, but a very funny series justified everyone including Constable Bob, which is They were they were cutting it up. They were fun. Hey, I'm a big justified fan and I'll give you another I worked on a sitcom that Timothy Ollyphant had multiple episode arc on. And he was so funny. What was the show? It was called The Grinder. Watched it, watched it by the way. It starred Rob Lowe and Fred Savage.

And Timothy Olyphant. Very funny show. Very funny show. Was so cool and funny. And I was a big fan forever. I just think he's so great. And then he came to do his thing. He always had good ideas to make the scenes better. And then in between scenes he'd be like,

tried a new way to cook steak this weekend. Do this. And it was some weird thing where he had coated the steaks in salt and then wrapped them in a towel and then through the towels directly on charcoal and then like the charcoal like burned the towel off. But the salt makes a crust. It was like showed me like a five minute video of like this whole thing. And he's like steak was fucking unbelievable. I just want to know this. I just want to hang out with this guy. Yeah. Oh, I'm looking at it. I'm going to make towel steak before I move on know this. I just wanna hang out with this guy. Yeah. Oh, I'm looking at it. I'm gonna make towel steak before I move on

to this apartment. So I'm with this commenter. I know they went off sitcom. You're gonna make towel steak? Do it, Brian. I'm gonna make towel steak. Let me know how it is. It looked good. I'm planning to. Oh, so the thing is, that's the real,

that's the real, I thought that was like, you were making up a silly thing in place of what actually happened, Sean. That's the real thing he described to you. No, I believe that's my recollection of. I mean, it was a few years ago now, but that's my recollection of what I watched on the video was he made like a towel stake. Lomo, Al Trappo.

Yes, yes. And of course he knew the actual term. Yeah, Lomo, Al Trappo. I'll say I'll say that like I like him because I was reading like I've read a few articles about like this with him, but I was reading like an I've read a few articles about like this with him, but I was reading this article about why him and Walton Goggins didn't get along on a justified and he's like, cause Walton Goggins has to embody the character and he's just like, I don't care about any motivations other than what's happening in

the minutes that I'm on the screen. And I was like, that's an actor that I can get behind. Yeah, I agree with that. Like he doesn't do any method stuff. There was an instance where an actor on the set was being a little bit difficult about something and everyone was kind of like very nervous about like, this is just a challenging day on set and Timothy Oliphant was making fun of them.

Yeah. Yeah. Cause I had, I mean. And there's actually, there's, here, I have another great story. You'll, you'll love this. This was so like, he had some scene where he was doing something and like, they're like blocking the scene.

And Rob Lowe, who I've worked with on three seasons of television is like, you know, very great storyteller, funny guy, smart guy, and like very involved in every aspect of it. But he runs over to Timothy and he's like, oh, sorry, I have an idea. And he's like, and he goes like, so when you're doing this line and like you look over to me,

and I can't remember what the specific was, but it was like, maybe you dramatically whip your glasses off and sort of turn this way and the camera will do, and he starts, he has an idea to re-block the scene a little bit, and he kinda lays it out, and Timothy goes like,

okay, can we have the set for a minute? And like, everybody freezes. And then like, there's like this one beat of silence, then he goes, I'm just fucking around, man. What do you want me to take the glasses off or something? He's like, yeah, I'll do it. It was like, it was like a very like,

like this is what would happen is somebody would be like, you don't block my scene for me. But he just played off of the idea of someone being a difficult actor very well and made fun of that whole kind of culture in a way that made everybody comfortable. I love that. He does. He seems like a cool guy. Some of those guys you watch-

I think he's the coolest guy I've ever met Yeah, you know when you watch actor you wonder like oh this guy seems so cool But of course they're actors so they could trick you very easily into being like oh, I'm this cool guy and oftentimes They're not but I always thought that about him and everything I saw where I was like yeah This guy seems like the kind of guy that would you'd want to hang out with and would impart wisdom on you and like yeah That's the kind of guy I imagine. So it makes me feel really happy to know that that's true. I looked at some Rotten Tomatoes reviews

of some very famous sitcoms, Friends being the first one I looked at. I did also. Oh, we love Friends. That's good, we love Friends. Well, and I also looked at Corner Gas to make Chris feel comfortable. So we'll do some Corner Gas stuff later.

I don't know Corner Gas. That's our biggest sitcom ever in Canada. Canada sort of made it to America a little bit But it's been a small town it did in some places You know Schitt's Creek Schitt's Creek is not really cool in Canada. We like quarter gas. It's an older show, but it's like We over up here in Canada. It's like Schitt's Creek. We're like, no, thanks. We're all about quarter gas Brent, but he's like He's the legend Brent, but he's a Vancouver based stand-up comedian one of the great. Are you in Vancouver? Where are you in Canada? I'm in Vancouver. Yeah. Yeah, so I live in Vancouver. She's across the border Sean Well, I don't know if refuse as much as we've been advised that it's not a good idea to do

That's more what it is. He doesn't want a vacation in Columbus, Ohio. Well, I have a family and I've been advised again that I might be in trouble if I come to America and so I don't want to do that. Yeah, but sometimes we take risks. I take risks all the time. I went to Mexico to buy pills. Comedy's about taking risks.

Like that's really, like our job as comedians is to touch that third rail is to think that border That is unfriendly Yeah, I agree, but I have my wife and my child is quite young. I have a wife and child too Well, you're what your child is out of out of the house. My child is 14 months old So I just feel like if I were to be detained for a significant time They're not gonna fucking know. And they won't you think your 14 month old is going to remember that you got detained at the border for a couple days?

My wife is my wife is my wife is going to remember. I think this guy says five stars Noah says friends is a good show. And if you hate or dislike it, you're just an idiot who doesn't understand comedy. The show aged like fine wine, which I think we're all agreeing on. It aged pretty well for a sitcom.

I really do think that's true. I honestly think, I don't know. Every other episode has like a gay panic moment that didn't age terrifically. Like the threesome that you described between Richard and Joey and Janet, like that would be very upsetting to those characters. The idea of it because they were, yeah, there's like a,

a very authentically nineties undercurrent of homophobia as comedy that is not, that is, is not holding up maybe the way we all thought it would. But I do, I remember there was a big backlash against Friends recently. It became popular and then there was an article, like a vulture article or something that some people I know, cool comedy people

who are haters on popular sitcoms were like, this article was really good. And it was called, why friends actually sucks. Yes. And then they go, and then the article, they were like, it's actually really good, they made some great points. And then there's no points in the article.

The points are like, the comedy's flat, it's not good. It's obvious. It's just like, it's a fucking sick, it was a most popular sitcom. But I agree, I still remember jokes from it and moments from it. I thought Chandler was funny. It's some of that shit is pretty sharp. Pretty well.

Could he be any more funnier? Yeah. Well, that's a perfect Chandlerism. That's exactly how you would have said it. Thank you. I appreciate that. It means a lot coming for you This is a five-star review probably not the best season of the show, but it started the legend called friends

This is for the first season and it did start the legend called friends, but then there's a two-star review It might be one of your comedian friends Sean here. We go not impressed by what I've seen from this show It's good to have friends and all but I'm'm looking for a premise that's a bit more creative. The jokes don't land for me either. This guy makes a little high concept stuff though. But this, it's about that time in your life when your friends are your family. Oh wow.

True. I know, and I had that time. Now I don't have any friends. What happened? I just have family. It sounds like your family's True. I know. I had that time. Now I don't have any friends. What have you? I just have family. It sounds like your family's not really. They don't love me that much. But yeah. Yeah. I'll be honest with you.

I think they try so hard to love you, Brian. I think they really do. I think it's you. You are constantly fighting against it with your vulgarity, with your. I mean, at one point there was a story he told about About what he pretended to win Trivia one night. He like said That he didn't win it actually

Had some wheel and then it was like hey look at this is my proof that I won trivia It's like of course anyone can stand beside a wheel and take a picture. Yeah, you get me you get me that wheel I can recreate it perfectly easily and with AI you don't even have to even go to the bar now But but the the point is in the story he referred to his family Collectively as the motherfucker Just like that's what he called them. So like he's very hostile Towards his family mean to me. Yeah, he's very hostile towards his family. They were mean to me. Yeah, he's hostile and difficult to, yeah, to like hostile or difficult.

His wife is a saint, Sean, and we talk about this all the time, but his wife and daughter are just so nice. How come she's sick now and I'm not? Well, I don't know. She's, yeah. Have you been, by the way, she's sick. Have you been like tending to her, things like that? Yeah, have you been by the way she's sick have you been like? Tending to her things like yeah providing anything I was kind of bragging this morning because i'm not sick because she was like oh, you know, she goes my daughter's sick Yeah, she goes my daughter's sick and I was like i'm not I feel great. Did she did she call your your collective daughter my daughter? Well, no, she said gwen sick. Okay. Oh you were saying it in that way. I got you. Okay, and I go I go

She said Gwen sick. Okay. Oh you were saying it in that way. I got you. Okay, and I go I go I know like this. I'm not I feel great. I don't know what you guys what your problem is But have fun being sick lazy System when yeah, she laid in she laid in bed all day yesterday. I walked up 150 flights of stairs Damn, dude, but you couldn't bring yourself to jump huh maybe later right to the money that's not today that's so funny because I believe that on the episode with Hayes Hayes brought up that Brian promised not to kill himself I do remember that that's, I do remember that.

That's not, I mean, Full House season one reviews. Lorenzo says, I like Full House. It's great, has a few cuss words. Still good, still good. You must see it on Disney Plus if you have it. You got it, dude. Michelle Tanner. It has cuss words?

I don't think it does. It sounds a few. Have, I don't know, C was like the catchphrase. Like, no, it was would they would use those I remember it because like They would they would use those ridiculous nerd burglar and turt like nerd. Yeah, they would call nerd burger and stuff I've never see yeah flipping waters There was one while where Jesse called DJ a cunt. He said why are you being a little cunt?

There was one where Jesse called DJ a cunt. He said, why are you being a little cunt? Yeah, but I was like, that's too much. But within context, the behavior, there was no other way to describe it. This person, I had to move to Google. So some of these are Google, some of these are rotten. I love Full House, by the way, just to be, it was like when I was a kid, I grew up watching Full House and it was one of my absolute Favorite shows and I always anytime you bring up. I always got to say that when I was a little kid I Met the Olsen twins on a BC fairies Fairy between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, and I also saw an orca on the same Fairy trip damn. That's a good trip. I did I tell you I'll tell you this when I was in fifth grade

We had to write a letter to a celebrity Okay, or like a fan club or something just to teach us how to write a letter and I wrote mine to Candice Cameron Yeah, I was I definitely thought Candice Cameron, you know, she was she was one of my big crushes for sure when I was right You know, yeah family season one reviews I Promised these on the stream last night. I'm going to do them all in the family You remember when they rebooted full house? Oh her house full house

Yeah, I Heard that was Kind of a difficult Room to work and I heard that the The creator of full house was still kind of operating in a way that he had in the early 90s That people were like this this doesn't really fly anymore Mike This doesn't really fly anymore. Mike, my God. So fucking excited to get back on a set. He hadn't worked.

He was and had needed to. He's like, I had the biggest hit in the world. And then he's like, I'll just run it back. We're all cool with like the exact same thing. Like, just to be clear, you said I must have off the show. Yeah, no, it's off the show. Off the show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And DJ did coke. It was crazy This is a review of all in the family I had to do this and the first one is five stars and a guy goes great unbiased humor Too much to handle for today's liberals, which makes it even better

Yeah, this is we talked about this because he was racist, right? Yes. And all kinds of it. Oh, my God. He had a snowflake like you. I'm sure he was. Yeah, that's true. Written as a racist character. The guy he was written as a truth teller. You know, the the I always I mentioned on the stream as well that, yeah, that Norm MacDonald, I always think about this this how he talked about this being a failure of a show because The main character became so popular and beloved as a racist person Which is not what they were trying to do or hopefully not what he was trying to do when he made the show

But yeah, like I think at the I think that Having a beloved character like that at the, I think that, um, having a beloved character like that, who's just the worst guy ever, maybe isn't such a positive thing for a show. It's not a good idea, but it also, I mean, not understanding the intention of it, but they never really, I, I never, I saw like one episode when I was a kid, it would come on sometimes and I was like, turn this off. mash and in Star Trek, the original and all the Star Trek's. As I said on the show, I would just freak out and like, we're not watching. We got to get, I got to get out of here. You know what I mean? Let's turn on some go bots. That's what I want to fucking watch.

I didn't know. I didn't watch all in the family really even in like Nick at night reruns. But yeah, I think it was supposed to be a healthy debate, but that probably the writers were more on the side of Meathead, who was a little more liberal. And what it's like having to tangle with your sort of like parents who have these dated opinions, but then it was just like, everybody fucking loved Archie Bunker.

They were like, this dude's a shit. Carol O'Connor was just kind of like great actor. He was just kind of like he had it. He had that spark. He just kind of wanted to hang with him. Rob Ryan. Ed Bernard. Ed Bernard says,

one of the best written shows in TV history. Not afraid to confront and talk about social issues. Now everyone has thin skin and no sense of humor. Sad. You guys want to hear about the time I met Norman Lear? Yeah, yeah creator of all in the family. Yeah, of course. Yeah, Norman. Did you ask him if he's racist? Yeah, that was first thing That's your first guy that are ever that's just what you that's how you feel right

Between me and you between me and you Archie is basically you right? You're Archie Between me and you. Between me and you. Archie is basically you, right? You're Archie. And we're meathead, right? Yeah, meathead's some dumb bitch. I used to audition a little bit, and I got asked to audition.

This story's just a brag, okay? Yeah. I used to audition for sitcom sometimes and they had, they were doing the reboot of One Day at a Time, right? And they were gonna modernize Schneider. I don't know this show that well. He's a janitor.

One Day at a Time, yeah, he was like the sort of like handyman, like fix-it guy in like the apartment complex they lived in and he was sort of lascivious. He had like a creepy mustache and he was like, ehh, ehh, ehh. Rainbow. It was all played for laughs but it was sort of creepy, like when you watch it now.

So they were gonna have like a more of a hipster Schneider and they had a lot of, you know, young comedians coming in to do this. So I came in and I went to do the audition and I didn't know this was gonna be the case, but Norman Lear was in there watching the auditions. And they came out to all the actors and they had sent us like three scenes

and they said, hey, just so you guys know, we're getting through a lot of people today, we're only gonna do one scene. You only need to worry about the very first scene, just so you guys know, we're getting through a lot of people today. We're only going to do one scene. Just you only need to worry about the very first scene. Just do one. So I went in and I did one scene and they said, OK, thank you very much. And I stood up to leave and Norman Lear leaned over and whispered to someone. And they stopped me and they said, he wants to see you do the other two scenes.

Whoa. And I said, wow, Norman Lear sees something in me. And he's only 95 years old. And he had his little like fisherman's hat on. And then I went back to the other two scenes. None of the scenes got any laughs. I didn't get the job. I didn't even get a call back. But that was me meeting normally. You got to do the scene. Two more scenes.

I'm sorry. Well, that's all, that's what I'm in it for. He, he like, he just couldn't hear what I think he was like having legitimate, can you just tell him to do some more talking? Yeah, I'm sorry. I was worried about someone at the time who was just like, they were like,

it's so sad that he's like, this guy's, he's like in his 90s and he like wants to be in a writer's room like writing a show and they were just like, it was in the whole like, don't we all kind of hope that we like don't need to do this anymore? Yeah. Like, but yeah, that was, that's how he fucking played it out. Brian, you were trying to apologize here.

I'm sorry about, Chris doesn't know a lot about pop culture He knows all he knows about is Fleet Fox's the band. Oh Wow The touring drummer is father John Misty. Oh, yeah. No, I know that trust me. I know that actually my For father John Misty actually, so I'm well aware I follow all them Robin Peck know all of his For some reason now, I'm embracing this I used to fight against it He doesn't know sitcoms he doesn't know movies. He doesn't know comedy all he knows is fleet foxes. It's crazy Yeah, well I say that I'm impressed at how you're able to conduct yourself throughout this because I know

I guess Glenn Danza well He literally has favorite Musician is Danzig one of them. Well, what's the other guy Peter's steel? Well, I do like typo negative We're in a yeah, these are sure. These are you probably don't even realize but Sean see these are some of the worst Confirmed worst human beings in the Yeah, but bad guys But they're great musicians and you know what you got to judge the you got to separate the art from the artist and and That's what I do

This guy goes I love the show that was back in a good old days when you can say whatever you want Nobody got offended nowadays everybody Everybody is so damn sensitive. Grow up people. So this is just a million guys making the same comment over and over again. I like this guy, Kevin says, I love this show, especially how Archie is always attacking the meathead. And it turns out he a meathead in real life as well. And I think that offense snowflakes is good. Because probably right.

Yeah, he's like a classic. Yeah, he turned out to actually be a real snowflake just like Meathead. Yeah, and they're so happy. They're just like, oh, now we could call him Meathead. Now, you know, like now that Trump's back, I can watch all in the family again. Another Trump thing that was somehow not available to me before. Trump's back. I can watch all in the family again

Thing that was somehow not available to me before it's like you Merry Christmas You're allowed to say Merry Christmas. You're allowed to make fun of meathead and watch all in the family. It's great corner gaffes I showed that neither me nor Sean know but Chris will know a whole bunch about it because I Watched it all the time on obviously on the Comedy Network You know it was playing reruns constantly on the Comedy Network, so we have Comedy Central here. It's a whole different thing It's better. We don't anymore actually Brian. That's incorrect I Do that? Central anymore Multiple shows during the death rattle

I could confidently We don't have it anymore. We worked on multiple shows during the death rattle of Comedy Central. I can confidently assure you. I mean, The Daily Show, I guess, airs on it in some fashion, but we don't really have Comedy Central. South Park. South Park. Yeah, South Park. I think it's all, it feels like it all lives on Paramount Plus now.

I think South Park is- So is Bob Land, which I love. South Park's bigger than ever, I think. I mean, I hear about it all the time. People love it. Well, yeah, because we cover South Park is Bob land which I love South Park's bigger than ever I think I mean I hear about it all the time people Love it. Well, yeah, cuz we cover South Park guys Travis says I'm 44 years old at the time of writing and have watched a lot of comedy TV. I've watched American obviously English and Canadian shows. I firmly believe that Hank Yarbo of corner gas is easily one of the greatest characters I've ever watched in my opinion if it wasn't for Ron Swanson. He'd be number one

Yeah, I know Hank is Hank is very funny. Hank is a very funny character. He's like one of the sheriff So it's him and then there's another character I forget what her name is but they're like the two sort of cops in town But it's like a real small town kind of you know, so one he's number two I mean Ron Swanson's always gonna be number one Oh you can yeah, let's be honest with you can make a million shows forever You can make a million shows a year for a million years, and you're never gonna Swanson

Guys such a man's man, but yeah time to hang it up love steak. Oh wait. I just realized I just realized I'm I'm I mean incorrect to Hank is actually Hank is actually his Because that's my favorite character is the cop Hank is actually his like funny best friend his funny best friend So it's bread butts like yeah He has like where's the backwards baseball cap Royce mode and shit and he's he's very Fred something is the actor's name But he's very Indians love your cops. They love the police up there so much when they do protests. They protest for the police. They're like, we just call them pops, right? That's

not, you know, because I think of Mounties, but then you go, oh, that's only when they're on a horse. No, we call them Mounties. And yes, we have to love them. But yeah, we have to show reverence or whatever. Everybody has to go down when they, and they always, you say when they're on horses, I'm not sure what else you'd be referring to because they're always on horses.

All of them have horses and we respect every one of them. In all seriousness, I mean, you know I don't like the police. Come on, man. Yeah, why, yeah, he likes them. You know me, I'm such a a I hate those cops, man. I hate it. I want to cross the border, Brian. That's why I want to cross. And I'm afraid they'll hurt his friends feelings.

The cops. Yep. One of my neighbors is a police officer and it's it's kind of it kind of is uncomfortable in all seriousness because I don't want to tell him like, oh, yeah, he'll ask me sometimes about like what I do. And I just keep it very vague because if you were to find my other channel where I just explicitly I used to have a character that would call in as a fake police officer and just like confront conservative radio hosts with like the worst cop ever. I'd be like, oh, you love the police or whatever.

And we'd establish that. And then I'd like confront them in this really aggressive way and just Making fun of police constantly and I feel like if he saw that he would I don't know I guess he would probably hate me or whatever but it's fair and I don't and you know me I don't want any of those cops to hate me because I Love them. So my aunt was a dare officer growing up. That's like that's like Drugs? They go to school and they're like, don't do drugs. Well, my dad was a cop.

Your dad was a cop? Yeah, he was a retired cop. Yeah, and so are you allowed to love them or hate them? This has all been a sting operation. Oh no. We've been trying to catch you because of your call in radio character for quite some time and you just admitted it.

Oh my God, that's incredible. The son of the cop. That's so crazy, you guys waited until. You know, I think the, I think, you know, it's a problematic, there's a lot of issues with them. I can say firsthand that not everything was always handled correctly by him, his friends, and a lot of other ones.

Well, you know, this is a good question. I think the most divorce worthy sitcom wives. Oh, they're gonna say break. Oh wait, Breaking Bad isn't. Yeah, no. That's not a sitcom. Not a sitcom, but they love, people on the internet love hating on. Skyler.

Yeah, they love hating on her. Well they talk about her a lot on the sitcom even though it's not. I think it would be exhausting being married to Beverly Goldberg, but she's just given everything she had for those kids I have no idea. This is the Goldberg's never seen it. So no, it would be awful having him for a month in Covey. Yeah Yeah, it says you it would be awful having her for a mother, but I think she was nice to Murray She had amazing patience with his no pants grumpiness because he would come in without his pants on and sit down. Turns out he was doing, the actor was doing stuff too.

Anyway, he goes, his grumpiness probably wasn't there from the beginning, but two decades of that high energy and I can see it developing. So he blames the wife for being annoying. Oh, maybe I know a little bit about that. So you're saying this is- I wouldn't be able to be married to Peggy Bundy with her insatiable appetite for sex.

I can only come once a day. I forgot that was the conceit. I always how I'm trying to watch the game. I never could figure out why he didn't want to have sex with her, like because I, you know, I saw the show as I was getting a little horny as a person. Sure. Yeah. On reruns. And she'd be like, Oh, let's, you know, let's do it. He'd be like, I don't feel like it. And I was like, Oh, yeah, Peggy. If if Peggy was my wife, I'd fuck her all the time. If Peggy was my wife, I'd fuck her all the time. Yeah, I mean Peggy was a beautiful lady as well. Like she was sort of done up, you know,

to maybe like done up in a sort of comical way, but the way she dressed and stuff. But she was beautiful and it was odd. Beautiful woman. We can talk about that. We can. You're allowed to say that, Sean. Just because we're three guys.

Listen, we will keep it, we'll three guys listen. We will keep it. Well keep it calm Let's keep it PG. I'm just all Let's just keep it respectful obviously, but all I'm gonna say is cut down whenever like to tongue her whole I'm sorry. I want to apologize Brian is usually apologize for that. He does that Let's read some reviews of the Big Bang Theory and then get out of here. First, I want to read the description of the Big Bang Theory on Rotten Tomatoes because it's, I don't know if it's AI, but it's really strange. Mensified best friends and roommates, Leonard and Sheldon, physicists who work at the California

Institute of Technology, may be able to tell everybody more than they want to know about quantum physics. But getting through most basic social situations, especially one involving women, totally baffles them. How lucky then that babylicious waitress aspiring actress Penny moves in that store. Penny. Yeah. Babylicious. Yes, it says babealicious in the thing. That's what I read. You have an official description? Sean, I love babes.

So I would have added it, but no, I didn't add it. I like bikini babes. Bikini babes. You bring a babe in front of me and I'm going fucking crazy. So yeah, that frequently seen hanging out with Leonard and Sheldon are friends and fellow Caltech scientists. Wallowitz and Kutra Polly. Will worlds collide?

Does Einstein theorize in the woods? Sure. He does it everywhere. It's all he's ever fucking doing. No, he can't help himself. God, one could turn it off. It's always ever fucking doing it. No. He can't help himself God one guy he could turn it off. It's like us with our jokes That's true. Yeah, you were all you know what I mean Sean I never get a break pretty good job pretty good job of turning it off today on the episode I got

Well, I'll tell you personally sweet. I made one By the way, sometimes that's all I need I'm gonna tell you. Personally, sweet. I made one. By the way, sometimes that's all I need. No, honestly, sometimes you wanna land the cut and you just hit the big one, you know? Yes, because what I want is for, if I have a good joke, I want it to really stand out. So that'll be the only one I make. Yeah, even if you have ones that you could make later on,

you're like, oh no, no, this is gonna take away from the big one. I don't want to get lost in the noise. I'll tell another story about Big Bang Theory, which is my wife and I on our honeymoon, we went and we hiked to Machu Picchu and we were with this big tour group. And so there was these two Australian guys

and there was a mom and her kid and there was the two of us. And there was this much older couple, southern couple. He was a helicopter pilot who did chemical distributions over crops, and she had worked for Monsanto or whatever, and was very much like, Monsanto got a bad rap.

She just was like, we thought we were helping people, we're like, salt of the earth people. Got a bad rap. She just was like, we thought we were helping people. We're like, we're gonna feed everybody. It was just like, we thought, just couldn't believe that the public opinion had turned on that company. So anyway, they're just these, this older southern couple and we, whatever.

We have all our meals with all these people and at one point, he just starts fucking waxing poetic about Big Bang Theory. And he's like, you know, I mean, I start watching, he's like, I felt this show isn't for me, but they shove it down your throat. I mean, it's on all the goddamn time. You start to think, these weird guys are kind of funny, and he's like and finally I realized

Goddamnit. This is my favorite show. He's like we watched every night. I watched it all the time and he goes and by the way That penny ain't too bad to look at either Bad to look at Everybody in my family watches it. And then now, so my wife will be like, not my wife, my mom, different person, all together. My mom will say like, and I you know, she should be like, Oh, this guy's a real Leonard. And it's like, I know what you're doing there. I mean, they're calling guys autistic by

calling them Leonard's. Oh, I see. You know what I mean? They're calling guys autistic by calling them Lenards. Because they, yeah, because they did, they all are calling guys Lenards. That's Sheldon, I believe is the one who's on this. I know, but I think, I think Lenard's like a little bit. To them, anyone smart is, yeah. Yes. Yeah, and Brian, Brian's mom is like pretty wild as well.

A little bit. I don't want to psychologically unpack you saying your wife when you met your mom. No, I do not like my mom. I do not like my mom. I love my wife, but Chris will attest to you. I don't like my mom at all. I find her the most annoying person in the world.

This guy hates his mom. I fucking promise you, he hates her guts. And listen, and I promise you that totally defeats your entire theory. When we say he hates his mom. I fucking promise you hates her guts and listen and I promise you that totally defeats your entire theory When we say he hates his mom, it means that there's nothing Look this guy as a show we like to we do have like a focus on reviews Sometimes this is a five-star review and the guy goes this shows not a five out of five at all Maybe a three point five out of five, but it's guy goes, this shows not a five out of five at all. Maybe a 3.5 out of five, but it's big bang theory and I'm biased

five out of five. So wait, so the episode I like show review. I show overall. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. So the show is a 3.5 to him. Yeah, but his big theory and I'm biased. Yeah, it was big theory and I'm biased. Yeah, I was not a five, but God damn it. You're asking me five. This guy goes, look, it's funny. I don't know any other way. But wait, but you know, it's a 3.5.

Five. I'm not saying the show is a 3.5. So then if you ask, you know what? But I am. But you saw I just did it. You said it was a 3. Five. I'm saying the show is a 3.5. So then that's, so you know what it is. But I am, but you, so I just did it. You said it was a 3.5. The show's obviously a 3.5. But in terms of me reviewing it and giving it an actual like star rating. Yeah, 3.5, right?

Five all day. Come on. Well, conventional wisdom is this a 3.5. Of course. Don't you? But wait, Don't is that disease? Don't you have things you feel that way about? That I know it's a 3.5, but yeah Yeah, and I say I feel like most of the stuff I genuinely love I go people go like I go Oh, I'm watching this and they go is it good and I go. Oh I mean, I love it

But like I know it's not good I get that but isn't it still a five to you isn't that what this rating system is for is But it's an awareness. It's an awareness of the actual quality of it in a vacuum Yeah, is there going like look. That I get. I mean, I love to joke around, but I actually passionately feel that this is a very good review that captures how I feel about a lot of things

where I do go like, when I go to recommend it to someone, I go, it's, you know, don't watching think that I'm saying it's amazing, but what I'm telling you is I love it. Yeah, that makes, when you describe it like that. It makes sense I have said this about actually the movie friendship Which is my favorite movie of all time that I've went and saw twice in the theaters and I've never done that before in my life

And I've said that to people where I'm just like to me. This is the best movie in the world But I think overall it would not be considered that way. You know, like I think to like a wider audience. So I think you might not like it that much. I have a better Big Bang Theory-esque example, which is I love the TV show Bosch. TV show Bosch on them. I know.

And so my dog is named Bosch, and I famously like Bosh. And when I'm watching it, it may be the first episode of the show that the fucking chief slides the badge and gun across the desk to Bosh that has been, he's been suspended and he goes, try to hang on to him this time, Bosh. And I was like, this is the most boilerplate,

like cliche, like every fucking, you know, like old kind of cop stereotype in the book is being captured here. And so I don't think that that is like really good or original, they use a bunch of actors from The Wire, but it's not nearly as like good as The Wire. But like, I would say that show,

if you ask me like to review it is, look, it's not a five. It's probably closer to a 3.5, but it's Bosch and I'm biased, five. I love Bosch too. I'm a Bosch fan and listen, in the final episode, in the final scene, they play death tones because Titus Welliver, huge death tones fan. So that's kind of cool guy.

So for me, yeah. Finally, a sitcom for grad students. There are even jokes that a physicist had to explain to me for once. Making fun of the intellectual nerds isn't insulting but loving. So this is a that's kind of cool. They're owning the bullying a little bit. I feel like it did.

It changed things a lot. The conversations surrounding bullying, the Big Bang Theory, and that does what I talked about. Here's our final Esteban gives it four stars. We'll get out here either. No, nothing. Nothing of substance will never this final review. We do politics on here. Sometimes I never we don't actually I realize this too though

It's like a really funny is we don't talk about politics because we don't want to and then we sort of made it into a bit Of not talking about politics and then it only taunt on me about maybe a month ago That's just a bit that you guys did on Hollywood handbook. Oh, really? We for a long time beginning would just any like very clear controversial, like something like as obvious as like police brutality or something like that. We'd go, look, we don't take sides on this show. We're not. We don't say obviously like, you know, we don't take sides on this show. We're not gonna go.

Obviously, we don't say this is good, this is bad, that's not our place. We bring up the most horrific political kind of. So I think I'm just saying that I do believe that I may have, because of course, I listen to a lot of Hollywood handbooks, so I do believe I stole that from you and started doing it on this podcast, so I just want to own up to it.

I think it happened on this podcast. Take another little piece of my podcast baby. Yeah, it did happen because Brian and I both previously did stuff that was very bad political stuff And you know it happened because a lot of people kept saying is Brian not political anymore when he started I was like Brian's no longer political. He just like on his podcast. He doesn't talk about politics So now he's like he doesn't care about it anymore. He's become totally apolitical He talked about politics for 12 years

and then was like, I'm not doing it anymore. And people were like, that's why I started saying it. Anyway, this is four stars, four genius nerds and a gorgeous blonde. What could go wrong? I started watching, this is a fan. This is not a critic, like writing, which you can tell, cuz what could go wrong?

I started watching this series as an impulse in order to later on watch young Sheldon. So, okay. Oh, that's kind of In this show cuz it's like it's not my cup of tea, but I feel I need To have seen it in order to fully understand you shop in the fucking deep end with young Sheldon What what is that reference to and I don't even think young Sheldon has a lot of that stuff I think it will yeah And I think I think yeah I don't think there's a lot of stuff where you would really you know need to see the big bang theory Well, they're watching old Sheldon before they watch young Sheldon

I know you should watch it like I did the Star Wars movies. You start with them. You do it in chronologic because not release order. And then if you do it the way I watch because I had never seen you. Oh, did you really do that, Brian? I did. Yeah, that's how I saw the Star Wars movies. Brian, that's really interesting. How long did it take you to do it?

Four days. That's really interesting. How was that experience for you? Maybe like Star Wars, probably more than a lot of people. I like the prequels because they're the first things I ever saw. Because that's how you experienced the story. You weren't cross comparing to something that was already sort of canon for you. It was just, it's a pure expression of it.

On many levels, it's the best way to watch it, yeah, because of that thing that you described, which is that now everyone's comparing it to the better earlier ones, but you didn't have that to do, plus you're seeing it in the order it's actually happening, and so it's not confusing. Yeah, it's cool. That's cool. So it's actually happening and so it's not confusing. Yeah, that's cool.

So it's not cool, okay? This is that. He's like, he should watch Young Sheldon and then watch, I think there's another one in between that and the Big Bang Theory now. I think they got a new one. Yeah, there's Teen Sheldon or something. Yeah, they're plugging something else in there. Yeah, so you teen Sheldon or something. Yeah, they're plugging something else in there. Yeah. So you in the middle. So you got to watch those first and then big bang theory. And I think

you get no pun intended, the most bang for your buck. All joking aside, I could see them and I think it would be kind of interesting to do old Sheldon. Like where he's, you know, he's like very, very old now and you see what his life is like at the end of all of it. I mean, is there anybody else? You guys are fucking staring at me like I'm an idiot right now. Oh my God. Dead Sheldon.

What about Dead Sheldon? I would watch Dead Sheldon. Yeah, Sheldon's gonna kill me. If you knew it, you'd be out of his dead Sheldon. Oh my, okay, Old Sheldon. Listen, my idea definitely still has legs and I think it's a great idea and I think we should do Old Sheldon.

But Dead Sheldon where he's been murdered and then you have to solve the case and it's a and it's like a crime it's a it's an investigation into the brutal killing of Sheldon Leonard and Penny and stuff but it's all shot like really gritty like crying like Bosch like a crime drama dead Sheldon I gotta get a meeting with Chuck yeah Yeah, wait a second. You you're a TV person. You could actually we're joking around about it. You you were in Hollywood.

You could actually get Dead Sheldon. I got to get on the line. I would love that. I got to lay in there. I have to say that even though at first catching up with the physics jokes was a little danting, he spelled it on Dante. The episode went on and I just started engaging with the physics jokes was a little danting. He spelled it Dante. Yeah, the episode went on and I just started engaging with the characters and loving the nerdy vibe. This one has who would have thought that the boy who hates physics, me,

could be able to watch a show which has four physicists as protagonists and surround a big part of the plot to such a stupid subject. Physics, such a stupid. So it by the way, yeah, you don't know. I don't think you need to have any understanding of physics to enjoy the show I don't think it hinges on that my sister does not understand physics, and she loves that. She's still enjoying it Oh, I think that you're not missing a lot of the jokes. I think that like a lot of the jokes The characters are a little quirky True when they but when they're saying all this stuff that's like really complicated

It's like meant the joke is you don't understand it You know what I mean? They're never like saying stuff where it's really complicated physics stuff and then it's like you have to understand There's characters in the show who don't understand and the joke is on like these fucking idiots talk as if someone would understand this I like the first guys are so smart. They're stupid. Yes. And that makes them feel good, too.

It's like that's why my father-in-law is like a huge fan of it. He's like, these guys are smart and they're fucking dork. Can't get it wet. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here. I've had sex and I fucking don't have to get the vaccine. Like, I guess we'll probably get the vaccine. I don't even have to pay for my mortgage because I live out back at my son's place in a chicken Coop and that's true

They live they live in a chicken coop and shit in a bucket that's my in-laws I'm not related to that It is it is They I like the first season very much and I have amazing prospects for the future. Sheldon is obviously my favorite and I adore him deeply. Can't wait to subsequently watch his solo spin off series until then. I guess I'll go back and forth to his Leonard and Penny's apartments and just vibe with the gang. A very pleasant discovery that I'm obsessed with now and loving every episode more and more. So this guy found his group, you know?

Yeah, I mean, that's all my I know you found your group. I found mine and it's I don't have a group. Ross Rachel, Joey, that's who I know it for a fact. That's where I'd want to live is with the friends people. So Brian, who would you want to live with to end the episode? Which sitcom people would you want to live with? Oh the episode which sitcom people would you want to live with you're putting me on the spot Sean do you have one do you do you know a sitcom people I'd want to live with give me a second okay okay I'll go get in there too and just a second I'm probably gonna go with a full house full

house loving family. A loving family, that makes sense for Brian because Brian, as we discussed before, he grew up with sort of a, you know, maybe not that much love and warmth in his household. Yep, my therapist told me that I don't remember stuff from before I was eight because nobody built a strong bond with me.

I guess maybe what I would wanna do, sorry, I don't mean to cut off your family thing, but I guess maybe what I would probably want to do is to guys that go to a pizza place because I get to hang with Ryan Reynolds. The two girls ain't bad to look at either. And free pizza. And I'll tell you, we know a guy that really likes Ryan Reynolds his name's Mike zero I got a car listeners love him. I gotta go and we will see you guys Next week Sean. Do you want to plug anything?

Yeah, listen a Hollywood handbook. It's a podcast. It's like this one, but it's different. I Was on it. Well, I was on it as well. Sean, I don't know that that's the big selling point, but yeah. I was on it with Sean. Well, actually, Sean, it maybe is actually for our audience possibly to say, hey, we were on it. Go listen to the episodes with us and then maybe you. I'm not. I'm assuming there's some amount of your audience who just doesn't know there are other podcasts.

I talked to my I talked about one of my favorite movies, Pain and Gain on there. So, yeah, yeah, I would live in pain and gain if I could pick a place to live in. We'll see y'all next week. Goodbye. Bye. Bye.
