We Fought the Network Over “Total B.S.” | My Boys Rewatch

Welcome back to Who Needs? — A My Boys Rewatch, where Jamie Kaler and Michael Bunin break down Season 1, Episode 5: “The Show.” Joining us at the poker table is the one and only Reid Scott — fresh off rewinding the episode with us and reliving one of the biggest storylines of early My Boys. In this episode, we talk about: Reid’s emotional proposal scene (and the panic behind it) Shooting single-camera comedy before it became the norm The brutal reality of filming poker table scenes The infamous “Total B.S.” network fight Mustache-gate and off-season facial hair panic The early days of Twitter (when we were told NOT to use it) Medicinal card adventures in Venice Cast chemistry, imposter syndrome, and learning comedy timing How working on My Boys helped shape Reid’s later work on Veep And why this little show still means so much to fans (including a surreal Lena Dunham encounter) Episode 5 is where relationships shift, proposals happen, and the show starts feeling like the version people remember. 🎬 Episode: My Boys S1E5 — The Show 🎙️ Podcast: Who Needs?
