TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

So we're now live. Well, hi, hi everyone, and welcome to the Nelly of North podcast. It's a Nelly podcast and it's hosted by Northern nerds. I am one of your hosts Sam.

And I'm the host Paul. And I bet you're sick of the sight of us this weekend, because we've been nonstop streaming on a lot of different things. So I do apologize. But we do have a few new pre-FPSs in mind, in some of these, let's be honest.

We've got the lovely, godlike, nearly jaded themselves, Jake. He's not a time machine today. I can say we'll try to be funny, but I don't know how much that works. It's hilarious.

Hello, yes. Well, we've got the returning Sonia, who is gorgeous ever with a new petal hair. Hello. Looking like she's on London means where all the guys are standing behind her and choosing from her.

I want to admit that go before, but I wanted to get to the live reaction. So yes. And we've had a trade for you guys as well. We've got the living sex symbol himself.

Everyone in the business, that has been bursting over for the last few weeks. And he has got his arms out as well for the gunshore. So guys, look at that. Good, we'll be passing out as we speak.

Listening on the phone. He's being on the pipe milk. I'm seeing on the pipe milk, yes. Well, yes.

And this is Adam's official first appearance as well, because he did make an appearance before. Very sneakily. He joined in the community one where it was a free for all. And he'd run over the well, even though he just spent the ds in the goonies of shit.

Goonies of shit. I can not forget. I was there three times in the club. No, three times it brought me heart each time.

Now I'll give it a chance. I'll eventually watch it. Oh my God. You're going to get goonies soon now for that.

But hold on a chance because I haven't had a chance to Photoshop anyone in a while. And we have had a busy weekend. But luckily the Photoshop was provided not by me, but by the Discord table for the year. So when I saw that drop, I had to use it as well.

So I'm going to put this on and not me. The guys can see this now because we're trying to be all fancy. So they can all see the screen. So this was Photoshop for us today as well.

So everyone, this was by our leader of the Discord. The Discord pervert as we got them. Oh, Jake. But to be honest, how much of a full Harris sex offender does Jake look like a surrounding player?

Oh, I'm not going to check the peg reference. Oh, that's so cool. Wow. I'm creased.

That's amazing. Wow. I was like, take credit for that. But no, that was all the way.

But we do have some business to pick up as well because we did have a podcast only a few weeks ago that one of Sonya's close friends and close family members was on. Joe, he joined us. He broke his podcast individually on the on the Pokemon episode. And he so I need to drop some truth bombs about you, Sonya.

So I just want to get your retaliation to what your claims did happen. So he said on the podcast that you forced him to give away his first edition Pokemon cards. As you said, they'll be worth for all. Now, is this string on your or is joining me and months ago?

Yeah. So I probably didn't say it'll be worth for all, but I did convince him to give him away. But he didn't have shinies. I still don't think they would have been worth that much.

I don't know. But I fancy the boy and I wanted to give him to him. He's probably already won. So it was the final of a door.

So Joe had lost out his Pokemon cards. So you can have a way up. Yes. Did you get it?

Did you get it? No, he just went, oh, thanks. What about stuff? I think everyone lost out here for the Pokemon cards.

Let's find him. Let's find that guy. Let's take a reach out. I just want to put this on a bus stop.

We can find the Pokemon guy. Let's do it. Exactly. The guy does the heist.

Do you want to do your disclaimer as well? Yes. Let's get it out the way with so everything discussed in today's episode is our opinions and it's our opinions alone. If you'd like to discuss anything from today's episode, please come and turn into the Facebook group.

Oh, the top in section and we can have an open discussion. What we want to have is anyone coming to us and telling us our opinions are wrong. We can all the great disagree and fandom. So let's keep it fun.

Keep it kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of nerdism. Yes. I think we should have a new disclaimer tonight as well after what happens the other week. Oh, good God.

Yes. Nobody was hurt or blinded during the making of this podcast. We will not be throwing anything into the audience as we did that so we can and the limp-risted idiot that is good will not be thrown on this podcast. Next time he will be wearing an eye patch as well.

He's in podcast jail for being the most dangerous man on the planet. Welcome to the Deans' home guys. Yes. This episode, we have been planning for quite a while but it has been moved around a few times just because time and issues or because we weren't thinking the time was right.

I think with the new season starting in America, I don't think it's not over here. If you've got a dodgy stick and you don't have a ton of torrents, you can watch the new season of one. It's always sunny and solid. Yes.

And I knew as soon as we did this episode, I don't think again, as many people have tried to do this episode, this was one of the more popular episodes that people wanted to be on. And you're looking a bunch go on. Does that mean they're the worst members? Like a lot of rappers.

Let's be honest, these are the worst people ever. It is one of the most controversial shows in the last 10 years I would get. Oh, absolutely. Especially when this episode was, I can't even be aired on Netflix because of how bad it is.

They've taken them out completely. But when the views get introduced into this show because I'll admit I'm a bit of a late film because there's 15 seasons of this now and I probably caught on probably around season nine or 10. I'm later than that. It's only been in the last couple of years.

It was just literally on a whim. Yeah, nothing else to watch. And it probably kept popping up on me. I think my sister watches it and she said it was funny.

And we literally took a first episode on and couldn't stop watching. Still to this day, it's one of the top three that we keep going back to this Brooklyn nine nine and big band. We will literally the minute we finish, we'll go right back to the beginning again. Yeah.

What about you, Sony? When did you get introduced to the guy? The same as you guys. So like, I'd seen a lot of clips.

Like I'd seen scenes from it that I thought were hilarious, but there was no context. I've never actually watched the show. And I think I was the same probably about season 10 or 11. I just binge the first season on Netflix.

I was really hung over with a couch day. I needed to make the mud on. I just finished the office. I was like, I need something new.

And I thought I'll try it out. And I absolutely loved it. And actually I've conversations with friends recently who say that they don't really like season one, but for me, I absolutely loved season one. That was my introduction at the show.

It was really difficult. It was not there. It did take me if like, I didn't grab me at first. Like I think with the season one, as you said, the first episodes, you didn't know quite what you were getting.

Because it was pitched as a comedy. So I think if I watched it from the start, I probably as it came out. I wouldn't have stuck with it. But I think the amount of people I talked about was, and as you said, the clips that's been on.

And when you hear about the stuff that Frank Danny did, we just got to get up to. And you're kind of waiting for him to appear in the site. Who are these? Who are these decades?

Who are these? Why are they going on about abortion? Why are they being reassists? Why are they being reassists?

Why is this just the most bizarre thing? But I didn't realize until I think we did an episode of the podcast and we talked about, I think some of you were talking about Ponies that I was always saying to the little stuff. This was me and Andy friends. Yeah.

That's how the pictures were like, if friends were assholes, this is what this is how they would be. And that's how they pictured it. And that's kind of when, as soon as you said that, I got it, I was like, yeah, and that's, and that's where I look at it now through that lens. And it becomes even more funnier.

If that makes sense. Absolutely helps. It's a hard show to describe to people, isn't it? Because if you try and recommend it, you're like, it's like the worst of society.

Yeah, it's like, you have to say, like, well, it's about five of the worst people in the entire world. But don't worry, they never like win. You know, like they always like get the come up into the end of whatever, like scheme or anything. So it's not like glorifying anything.

If anything, it's a cautionary tale every week. Just don't go anywhere with these guys. How did you go into this? Jix will be it.

So it's Jix Fox. We've started like a designated lights and I get a pizza and stuff. Yeah. And what's the being 2010 maybe?

I mean, you're the day it's masters. Yeah. I was trying to tell you. I just definitely tried it through a Netflix whim.

Like, it wasn't anything. I don't think I'd even see any clips about it. But it was, I don't know, maybe the what was about nine seasons or ten at the time. But I think like when it clicked for me, it was like the one where D pretends to be handicapped to get a deal.

The old dude. Right. So like that was the one where I was like, okay, I get this show now. Like, you know, everyone's awful.

And I was like, right, Adam needs to see this. I mean, sure was it. And I was just like, oh, hooked on this. And then I just never stopped ever since then.

I just watched every season. When I couldn't have re-watched seasons. I think I've re-watched some of the seasons like three or four times. I'm on me like a million for him now.

We've been watching it right now. Right. But you're right, Paul. I really would go back and watch the first season.

I've even watched it quite recently. I love the first season. Me too. Me too.

It just doesn't stick in my memory very well. I don't think. I think it's because they are a little bit more normal in the first part. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of like just the bellends. But they're like, oh, just getting on with the life and they're just trying to get by.

That's when like the capers and the stories that they tell become just like, but even though it's not like a linear show, like each episode of just the most random stuff happens. But continually through it is remarkable. Like if something happens, like even like really trick at scars. Like you can see it grow and it never comes back and changes.

You need to watch it all really, don't you like to get a lot of stuff. You can't just jump in the middle with this one. You've got to go from the beginning. But it's funny.

And I know this is not a monster set, but I do have some backs on this. Get the fuck out. Get the fuck out. I'll just put the promotion chair to the.

But yeah, so the season two, the word went all right. Like the levels were okay. But the studio was like this and we need to bring somebody in and they were like, fuck, no, fuck, no, no one's going to work. And the minute, the only name that came up was Danny DeVito.

And we're like, I kind of kind of get it. I kind of get it. And so it didn't take a lot of convincing to have Danny DeVito in. Didn't it take a lot of convincing to have Danny DeVito in?

Didn't it take a lot of convincing to have Danny DeVito? It's not Danny DeVito. It's not Danny DeVito. I have to hand it down to DeVito because he's Korea.

Like he's back up, stuff he's done is up there with more people. Probably people don't realize the work he's put in and where he's done. Yeah, yeah. And to come into this, like, let's be honest, like the people involved are less than one, like people in the industry.

They're not big names. he is the standout star, but the stuff he does as well and he'll get him to do is just absolutely just comedy goals, but he looks like he's just having the best time of his life. Yeah, there's one scene where he's not having the best time and it's the when the ship and the all that put in prison and the water rises and the all the side that go under. What it was that had little weights in them to keep them down for a bit, but Danny couldn't get in that, all that had to do was release the weight and the goal, Danny couldn't release his weight.

Oh my god, that's my name, that's my name. And he was struggling to get up and but they didn't know if it's Frank or if it's Danny. He couldn't tell, it took him a while and when he eventually got out the water and got some assistance, he got dressed and he left and he didn't come back to set for a couple of years, it scared the life out of him. It wasn't angry, it really put the ships up him because he just could not get this weight from out from under his leg.

I watch a lot of that podcast as well, so I listen to a lot of that. Obviously, I watched an episode of the Deanna System one, the Deanna System one. It's really good, isn't it? Having given you back stories and everything.

And you just don't realize how many friends they have in this group. Yeah. Oh yeah, I think the only one I've watched is the Danny DeVito interview and the fine watching it. Yeah, that was super sweet.

He's such a nice guy, but like what Paul was saying, he's like a consummate like Hollywood professional. He will do what's in the script as long as he thinks it's funny. How embarrassing it ends up looking. They did a live version of DM-Man, the actual show.

It's on YouTube if anyone wants to watch it, but they had a rig of Pullman playing the all-eating. It was looking fantastic. And the fact that the whole crowd off their faces like nobody is so good in that room. What's so heavy?

But that live performance is brilliant. Just literally Deanna. I love it on the podcast where Dennis is going. I can't click on this.

Glenn keeps going. I can't even say something horrible. And they've got their signs all the way around the thingy as well. We get their friends on there.

It's so one of their brothers. What's the brothers called? The way the really weird ones? Oh, the McPoyles.

The McPoyles. Yeah. The main McPoyle was Charlie Dea's roommate. Yeah.

He's quite big as well. Isn't he? Yeah, he's got some big things in the world. Yeah.

And really, he's a really good friend. There's only one who wasn't, is Dee. He's the only outsider. But you can tell how the tree is well.

The way it was Charlie Dea's wife, Dennis's wife's in there. She's the pharmacist. Oh, right. Oh, she's beautiful.

Yeah. Yes. And obviously you've got Mac and Dee who are married in real life. Yeah.

Yeah. That's my interesting backside a little bit. Very good. Very good.

But Dee, we've got a brick with it. You've got with it with the Netflix one. Or did you say it before? No, I never saw any.

I mean, I might have heard a couple of things, but it was a really weird show. I don't think it had much presence in England until Netflix. And even then, I think it took them a few years to be like, oh, people really like this. Like, Paul's got the artwork there.

The side is like Netflix started doing photo shoots with them. I was like, foxed it or whatever. It started to get a big, big push, I think. Like with the posters.

That's when I was looking through to do the artwork for like for our intro and stuff, the artwork is one of the best I've seen for like almost for the Friday the 13th one was just a minute. It's got to do with the season. Well, the reason that we're kind of have a bit of a, it's almost like horror movie with the McPoil's way. Oh, God, yeah.

It's kind of hard. It's like busts and that's. And then that ends up in like the courtroom case, like what we're saying, like the continuity, like it ends up like they have to do the court case about it afterwards with the bird law and everything. Bird law.

The guy with the giant hat. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Take his eyes. But I just said with the continuity, like the stuff I love is like Dennis's ex-wife.

I was just like a couple of cats. Oh, yeah. And then every time you say it, people come with more fat likes, you've got like whiskers and eyes of change engine. Horrible, yeah.

It's the dead tooth, man. And they have that whole Megan and Murderer episode. Oh, just kidding. Megan, Megan, this is obviously the best character progression throughout this whole thing is Dennis because he clearly is a sociopath.

Potentially a murderer. David, you'll kill it. It's when he starts screaming for his tools at the point. Yes, I told.

I've seen the outtakes of that scene where they all just can't hold it together. It's so funny. Every time he shouts tools, they all just like, Danny David owes the only one in multi-outtakes, who just keeps his computer. And then they're just like, and in some of the actual physical episodes, if you watch him, he can see Matt turn away.

Yeah, laughing because Dennis is just so unhinged. It's scary though. Dennis has turned, like, going from where he starts us. Has just been an arrogant little rich kid.

The progression, isn't it? To the most psychotic way. I think it was an episode where he controls what they eat. And Max like, oh, yes, I'm never a fine pilot.

I choose what everyone wants. And they're like, no, you're not surprised. I'm so excited for someone, I'm so excited for him. I'm surprised.

I think he saved Dennis this rage and the rage building up inside him as well. He is the angrier son. I'm like, the drip feed, like stuff. But if you say it out loud, people will be like, why are you watching that show?

Like, I'm out loud. And he films everyone who comes into his apartment. Like, you say the hints towards him doing horror. It's when he tells what he tells, he's going to skin her and wear it.

And make her skin into a suitcase. Yeah, and she's just not an egg on. You bitch. I love the way he's doing the pitch.

You're doing the pitch. The episode where he and then Mac move into the suburbs. Oh, that's a lot of work. My favorite moments of Dennis, especially when he's that beep.

And he's like, I can hear it the whole goddamn time. I'm not screaming when he reages in his own head. Yeah. The man that just went to prove to me how dangerous Dennis actually is.

Yeah. But like, even just like doing his work, commuting, he's just like, like reaging in the car. You can't have involved in that. I don't even see him in the car.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I do think Dennis is a bit of a cautionary tale though, that's the thing. Because I can see anyone progressing into that.

Yeah. It's quite easily just a little thing. I could definitely think that I would like be like, sex-passed, I'd rather have to turn into this at some point. It's like that guy who's like obsessed with like, you know, like body image and stuff.

Like you can definitely see bits of people who've been real quick. Yeah. It's very tough. Yeah.

It's true. We're talking about the characters as well. I know this is going to be a hard one for everyone. But who is your favorite character in the show?

Charles. Yes. Charles. Charles.

So, it's not your same Charlie. Why Charlie? I just, I love, he's just, he's just insane. Like, but he's like the opposite kind of insane to Dennis.

Like, just as he's in his house in a hard, innocent way. And like, I don't want to jump ahead and talk about favorite episodes to feel like that might come up. Oh, well, well. One of my favorite episodes is sent it on Charlie.

And like, how smart he is in his stupid way. Yeah. And Charlie's in Charlie's world. Yeah.

Yes. I just love him. I love him. And he's got an incredible voice.

And I feel like some of the singing scenes with him are like some of my favorite moments. Yeah. So yeah. I love Charlie episodes.

He's one of those people who has that rare ability of being able to pick an interrupter's place. Yeah. Yeah. He's sort of sort of fucking talented.

That's, yeah. But quite interesting though, as well, what you see in Charlie, because as you said, these people are the worst of society. Oh, absolutely. I don't think Charlie is.

I think Charlie's just very, very innocent. Yeah. He's like, innocent friend. That gets hit and advantage by it.

He's like, I was talking about their sticks and the pub. And you find out that Charlie put them all in it. But he's got no like return in the middle of the clean. And he's just like, yeah, like, fine.

Like, he's just totally taken advantage of it. You give me shares for a sandwich. I think like buying negligence though, he does like some bad things. Like he leaves, you know, he's left people in horrible situations.

Yeah. Like that. But he's not like, absolutely. Why am I a pitcher?

That's why I didn't watch that episode. That's great. That one. That's such a good one.

I would say that the store and the tourism of the waitress is a lot of it. Yeah. Yeah. That's what he manages to get.

He almost gets it. He almost gets the life. Especially with that girl that he meets, one of the rich, air girls. Yeah.

Yeah. And then he, he, he, he dumps it all for her. No. But we've all done that with all two of the big mistakes.

I love Charlie. I have a lot of love for Charlie. I think Charlie has one of the best screams. His scream needs to be archived and used in future films because, because what's the episode with them Charlie and Mac get murdered.

And it's the car scene. I mean, I couldn't literally watch that scene and go back and watch it again. It's all for different reasons. I'm laughing at me off because Charlie is screaming hysterically.

Even when he picks Mac, he'll be still screaming. And it ends laughing because Mac, when he opens the door and he's like, what happened? He's like, I'm fine. Yeah.

I was laughing as well. But when, when, like, take, take for Charlie out for the day, because I think he's perfectly in the front. Because I'm like Ok we're, we're, like. Hello's you guys.

I'm gonna forget you. Take this in for the, and then ends up in the sauna and he's taking clothes off. When he starts, like, getting paper like over, over heated, and he starts in rats and r Wonst, Don't let me spray it on. You see he's like, that's the deprived deleaf, Jackend RuleON.

Oh shit. Jackend. That worm hat man or something, then you can tell it was a worm with a hat at our you said Dennis is your first. So is this because of like the sex scenes, the facial expression?

What really what really cemented my love for Dennis was the nightclub scenes, or he's dancing in his office face. I just I absolutely love him. Like I say, when it comes to character progression, he has even if it's not going in the direction we would like it to when it's in it's completely opposite to how characters should progress in their arc. Is this so fucking brilliant?

The fact that he goes from rich kid to sociopath, and there's like a little journey all the way through it. You get it. One crack. One and the way he sees the word bitch.

He's just perfection. It's the pronunciation. Yeah, he proper goes for it. I've just for me, he's absolutely fantastic.

Even the week is the book. The latest season, I was not the one that's been aired the one whether in Ireland and he gets over it. Oh, yeah. People didn't like that series.

I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. It wasn't was it the same season where it's like Dee's birthday and then I'll make fun of it and she makes them like not where his makeup looks horrible. He looks like it looks like that.

That was that was called Dee Dee. That one that called me did it anymore because of when the did Frank was like blackface up being that one. Okay, that one is good. But then there's two where the re-enactile webin and you can't find them on Netflix.

We've had to watch them. I mean, they're on there at some point. They've taken them off because Dee blackface is on that one. Yeah, is this now Disney is like, this is Fox, right?

Oh, yeah. The change didn't have the change then things. I don't know what had FX logos on, but maybe that's like UK's channel. So you know, I guess I think with Disney was still a stuff that haven't gotten on Disney plus yet that's because the Netflix would have paid for a certain length of time.

So I was just waiting for that conductor to run out. Then we'll get only sunny on Disney plus and that'll be the most really similar as well. My favorite Dennis episode and again, it's such a wrong episode is when he gets mistaken as a child sex. Oh, yeah.

And he's walking around and getting so much abuse and stuff like that. And when he meets the guy that looks like Dennis, it's like a chubby version of him. You could tell the one it's not me, these people I'm quite liking that getting the abuse. I'm walking around free looking at all those lovely children.

I think I know the moment where Dennis might have like started to think of serial killers is the episode with the serial killer when Dee's friend who works in the DIY shop turns out to where they think Max is a serial killer. Yeah. It's him. And I think I just something in that episode, Dennis just looks too delirious, like picking up kind of tips.

But I do think you see real killer. I really do think you think that's something I think that'll be the end point where I can see these all chopped up and Dennis is the sitting there smiling or something like that. But what about you, Jake? What was your favorite character?

Oh, it's got to be fine. It's too good. You know, so many highlights. Even just this screen behind me like when they do when they put on the super grassland, which obviously I love wrestling and there's very little wrestling in that episode from their body pipe is it.

It was amazing in this episode. That must have been his last appearance in anything. Like, not too long ago. Yeah.

So I know he went to T and he ever bit as well. I think before. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, because he in this, he's like an unhinged like express though, which is like kind of like real life. I guess when he's coming in his car and that.

It comes across as really sweet though. Yeah. I mean, that's funny. Piper to a T really kind of like angry, but a nice guy, but very, very angry past and everything.

But yeah, like, Frank's just like, like Paul is in like, you'll do anything in the go everywhere with it. Like the I don't think the bet like they probably never said no to any horrible joke. But just like the relationship with him and Charlie when they've got like the weird like nighttime routine. So what was the name?

Nightcroll. Yeah. Episode with the shit in the bed. Oh my god.

The tour. He's like, ah, but he's right. I always look at her name. Artemis.

That is her real name as well. She's an old friend of theirs. Right. Yeah.

She doesn't get used enough. She doesn't. She does. She does buy Frank's or so.

Yes. But the episode with the hooker and when Frank wants to marry that, he's so funny. When she goes into the shop and she starts getting all that money out because she wants the white jacket. I can't think of what she calls a guy, but it's absolutely hilarious in the way she talks.

Yeah. But like Frank's basically like the money man, which makes the schemes accelerate to like to a point where they can kind of do anything because they've now got a character who can like get facilitated like crazy or crazy or storylines. Yeah. He was paid a bonus off for the couch scene.

No. That's fucking hilarious. That is just one of the best things I've ever seen. But it's even better that nobody cares or knows what's happening in the party.

No. No. I would have just been. It's like the three ghosts.

Isn't it looking to do like a whole Christmas carol thing with it. I'm going to take you to the Christmas party and we're going to tell you that Frank's an asshole. He's in the couch. You don't even realise that he's naked in the couch though as well.

When he starts being birthed from it, he'll just start, oh my God. What is happening? How disgusting does he make a scene? What else did it?

Wouldn't be as disgusting? No. It's true. He's even horrible just eating and drinking, which he does a bliss show.

The best thing is the best thing. When he's throwing the cans outside the house and he's just like, oh, but I'm like, I'm just like, what did he do? It really didn't take him long from coming in as Frank and Aida from Dennis and Dazedazz to then go changing to complete the portrait. It was always like that.

The scene that changed him was when he found out that she was cheating on him in the restaurant. Yeah. God, somebody's going to get stabbed. Just how he has that progression where he's like, because there's one where he loses his memory and goes back to season two.

It has to happen all over again. He has to become the character again. It doesn't take him very long. When he's with the solicitor, he's told him he's wised out and he's like, you tell that or?

He's like, I can't tell her anything. Yeah, that lawyer is a great recurrent character. He just hates you and with it. The calls on the jew lawyer, he's like, I'm not even Jewish.

And there's like, there's that one where it's like one through over the cookies nest parody while I go. And then Sarah's been talking about the frog kid. The frog kid? He was in the old toilet and he was like, if you were Frank the frog.

It was such a good callback because I was like, for him, Danny, to be the one who was in the cook. I thought that was such a lovely callback to one of these first breakout movies. I do love Frank. You know what though?

You can go through every character and apart from Dee, I'll be like, okay, there's something I really like about them. I love Dee. There's no demon quality in that woman. She is the one who knows.

I think. But you can blem up for a head injury though. A head injury though? That's the thing.

She was a nice day. She was a sweet day. I know that's a question like, I know that's a question like, Richard's when she's trying to like, it's all right. It's all right.

It's almost accurate retching. Yeah, it's amazing every time. The head injury is a callback to an actual head injury she has. Which is why she says her face changed from season one to the seasons where you go just a little bit further down and Dee has a completely different face.

She had a bit of a nasty accident. Oh, I did that. You have a nasty accident. And she's she did have a really nasty accident, but that's what she says.

The surgery was full was to she could correct. She had the money now to correct some mistakes from that accident. But adding she looks fucking phenomenal. It's like the really bad comedy impression.

She was like, just want to do like some Patrick's dance stuff like that horrible Irish character. She just goes like too far into like the realism of the character. It's when they when they when they actually go out with their way to make her think she's made it. I think she's made it.

And then I was like, yeah, well, you add a much your favorite character. It's a really tough one because I love Dennis and I love Frank and I don't know which one I think it's gonna have to be Frank because I feel like I wouldn't have stopped around as long as Frank was needed. Yeah. I've had the legs without Frank because I mean, Dennis, that he's unhinged this and the way he's just developed as a character throughout his being amazing and Glenn, how it's delivery on the side body part is just often flawless.

But I think it's just dynamic. It was like comedy that brings up the next level. Yeah, it's just something special, isn't it? Yeah, there's no replication when it comes to down to vetoes, but try the Frank.

There's nobody who could come in and do what he does. I just think it's a lot. And he's like, is that time? She just know crazy shit's when it happened just on the way that long.

Frank, that's what happened the next thing. When he keeps saying he went to Vietnam and they're like, you went there for a business. I have a little cooler. Even when the wedding of Bloody Ireland was like, oh, yeah, this is a taxi even up with the Epstein's I was like, fucking.

I tell you, one of the later scene was actually the whole payoff of Frank actually being Charlie's father. Yeah, I don't know. I don't care about that stuff. I feel like it's funny if it never makes sense in the end, like if it is dance around it forever.

She's mum went for an abortion and then you can feel it. You're an abortion survivor, Charlie. It's okay. I try to kill you.

You survived. Happy to put a warning on the next episode. You have the words that are going to be used. Well, the first thing I've ever watched the show.

Oh, I know. For me, it's like the things like the being Frank episode. When it's first person. When he walks in the office apartment and he takes the fucking, what was it?

It's like horse tranquilizers. Then he's like, he's Frankie in the mirror. He's like, this is the music star. So it's just like, yeah, I'm going to do like that.

It's funny. Remember, these are all courts people. He's funny when he drops acid. So he goes to the stadium and he's going to have like a whole like woodstock moment.

But again, as he did in woodstock, he drops acid and gets stuck with toilets. Oh, as funny as I said before, I know what I'm talking about like the episodes. There's so many that you could make actually as a favorite episodes. But some of the highlights, like one of the ones I love is not there because it was like a two-parter when the fleas won the Super Bowl.

But it's not the first part where you see what Charlie puts himself through. And it's like, it's the most violent aspect. And he shows you how crazy Charlie would go for that element. But I absolutely loved that.

But the other one that was a highlight and it's quite a subtle episode. So I'm not subtle. It's like, well, sort of these guys. See, there's any of them.

I know it's like a box where Charlie in front goes to the restaurant and then Mac. Oh, yeah, the staff across the room. I'll send them a glass of wine. I'll send them a bottle of wine.

It's like, this is a big money move. And Charlie's like, how many of us go over and talk to them? It's like, no, they've got to come to us. They're trying to be a big boss one.

It's just the subtle nuances and the elements of comedy. Because that's what they showed as well. It does every type of forms of comedy. It is classic.

It is out there. But it does clever comedy as well. I think it doesn't really get the point of the episode there. One of the highlights.

Yeah. I think we missed a character as Neam that really deserves a mention because they are talking phenomenal country, Mac. Country. No, no, no, no.

I think Ronald McDonald's. I think Ronald McDonald's. I think Ronald McDonald's. I think Ronald McDonald's.

Please, no, please. To be fair though, Rob McLeley, I think it's funny. I think that's going to do that. Nobody asked them when they talk about it on their podcast, they're like, why did you do it?

Well, because I thought it would be a good character. Yeah. We didn't ask you to do it. Nobody give to shit.

We didn't know you could put it on. We didn't care that you could lose it either. I always thought you'd agree with them again. I remember thinking about it being like an Aye friends.

He said, in these shows, if you look at the first season and then you look at the last season, the characters get more and more attractive as time goes by, wearing better clothes. They look at their skins bright and he was like, what if we did the opposite? What if I got progressively fatter and less attractive? And Frank's hair got worse.

But like yeah, the obviously Galen said that she preferred him. When he was bigger, she actually liked, like as a husband. But yeah, I love that. That's a good concept.

I love, I love these commitment to it. But I love the fact that they literally were like, we didn't give a shit. We didn't ask you to do this. He also kind of did it to like bite back at like Hollywood, like, you know, like attitudes to like men where they're like, oh, you've got to go on an insane train in the regiment.

Otherwise, you know, that was cool as like you. Yeah, you know what? For all Max, not one of my favourite characters, Rob McAlini is one of my favourite people. He's just such a sweetheart and he completely gets comedy.

If you've ever watched these other programme, the Gaming One. Mythical Quest, I think. Oh, it is fucking phenomenal. It is so good.

So well written. He's again an arse-all in it. But he plays arse-all. It's like a lovable arse-all, but he plays arse-all.

I recommend watching this very good. I'm going to go a little bit off-camera with this hyper podcast. I love the documentary, Welcome to Rexam. Why are you watching it?

I'm just saying. Yeah, it's having a good shit. It was such a good thing. And him and Ryan Reynolds, if you haven't watched it, I know a lot of nerds might have watched lots of stuff.

So it is a good documentary to watch because it's basically a go out. And by, I can say, at the time, it was a big football club in a small league. It was a pretty much a good day and day. But I thought it was hilarious.

It was all his idea. Everything, like, thing. But everyone gravitates towards Ryan Reynolds. The reason why he got Ryan Reynolds was involved is because he said I got TV money.

TV money doesn't buy football clubs. Yeah, he's got the money. He doesn't buy any. I needed movie star money.

And that's why Ryan Reynolds was brought on. And it was meant to be like a partner. But it's hilarious to see him getting so ungroves. He's from, like, say, it's...
