Speaker 1: Juicing your news. Hot gods come stay on top in
Speaker 1: the hot shovel.
Speaker 2: I m O is a abbreviation of in my opinion,
Speaker 2: and I am O. HBO slash Max is the bell
Speaker 2: of the ball when it comes to just making TV
Speaker 2: shows right now.
Speaker 3: The quality is always going to be good.
Speaker 2: And last night we had a series finale of an
Speaker 2: HBO comedy after four seasons.
Speaker 3: The Righteous Gymstones is now done.
Speaker 4: It's in the books now.
Speaker 2: I no matter what's caught up, We're not gonna talk
Speaker 2: about the show too much, spoiler it or anything like that.
Speaker 3: We're not gonna do that.
Speaker 2: But I was thinking, where does this stand on the
Speaker 2: echelon of HBO comedies of all time. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of shows that a company'll go, oh, yeah, that's an
Speaker 2: HBO one. So Ben, you're probably the only one of
Speaker 2: the shows caught up in seen it caught up. But
Speaker 2: I did watch just the preview of it last night
Speaker 2: after we watched Last of Us and I died laughing,
Speaker 2: and that was just, yeah, the preview.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that show.
Speaker 5: That show is interesting to me because I did I
Speaker 5: thought it was great, but I thought two characters in
Speaker 5: particular were outrageously funny, and I had I look forward
Speaker 5: to see him.
Speaker 4: First of all, Danny McBride, I laugh at anything he does.
Speaker 5: So Jesse Jimstone was great, but by no means was
Speaker 5: he the funniest character on that show. It was Uncle
Speaker 5: Baby Billy. Walt Goggins is one of the greatest characters
Speaker 5: in the history of entertainment. Like, I can't even fathom
Speaker 5: how outrageously funny that character is.
Speaker 4: He stole the show. I thought he was the MVP
Speaker 4: of the whole show.
Speaker 5: And then Judy Jimstone, I don't I mean, I guess
Speaker 5: she was in Vice Principles too, is it Eddie Edie Patterson?
Speaker 5: Edie Patterson, I don't even know her name. She was
Speaker 5: a close runner up to Baby Billy in that show
Speaker 5: Dude Cheer. Her dialogue was all off the charts awesome.
Speaker 6: So I have only seen for three or four episodes
Speaker 6: of season one of Righteous Gemstones, And like Ben love
Speaker 6: Danny McBride, I loved the tone of all that stuff,
Speaker 6: and I loved Eastbound and Down, but I got bored
Speaker 6: with it after a while. And then I don't even
Speaker 6: know if I ever finished it, because I was like, hey,
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know and then Vice Principals came out,
Speaker 6: and I thought that that was damn near perfect because
Speaker 6: they did two seasons and then they wrapped it up.
Speaker 5: You know, that's a great point because it's a lot
Speaker 5: like an SNL sketch, h Like, there's enough there that Okay,
Speaker 5: that's a fascinating character, but if you go too long,
Speaker 5: it's gonna get drawn.
Speaker 4: I or like there maybe wasn't enough here for that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I kind of got lost in the Righteous Gymstones along
Speaker 5: the way too for that reason, but I got jumped
Speaker 5: back in here at the end, and Baby Billy brought
Speaker 5: it all home.
Speaker 6: I will say that y'all's reaction to this show has
Speaker 6: made me think, Okay, I should go watch it because
Speaker 6: I absolutely loved Vice Principles.
Speaker 4: I loved it.
Speaker 2: I like it more than right to Gymstones, but that's
Speaker 2: just more Walt Goggins and then the sassy character that
Speaker 2: will God.
Speaker 6: His mother and the relationship between him and his mother
Speaker 6: in law. He brings a lot of that to this too, relationships.
Speaker 2: And didn't write like you spend down was more about
Speaker 2: like solo, okay, and then I'd like the buddy thing
Speaker 2: with Vice Principals and this was more story. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you get like intel it John Goodman's doing, and you
Speaker 2: know Adam Divine from Workaholics and all that stuff. Pretty
Speaker 2: wild ending and pretty dark, and it could have gone
Speaker 2: a lot of different ways.
Speaker 3: We won't talk about that too much. Buzz thing about
Speaker 3: these shows.
Speaker 2: And I was sitting there going, man, I like to
Speaker 2: show a lot, but I'm not certain that it's a
Speaker 2: top ten favorite HBO comedy of mine. Okay, so I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna list a few Veep is my number one
Speaker 2: HBO comedy of all time. I failed by not watching that,
Speaker 2: you have to, Okay, just and it's It's was made
Speaker 2: eleven years ago and it predicted everything that's happened in
Speaker 2: the last eleven years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very good and I love it. But for me,
Speaker 5: Curb Your Enthusiasm is maybe the most perfect show ever.
Speaker 2: I've had to recuse myself from these. I haven't seen
Speaker 2: Olive Curb.
Speaker 6: I can already tell you my top two HBO comedy
Speaker 6: shows of all time, and it's not even close. It's
Speaker 6: Curb Your Enthusiasm and it's Mister Show Show.
Speaker 4: Yep. Those are my two fades.
Speaker 6: And there's a bunch that I love, But those are
Speaker 6: just like Far and Away the Leaders.
Speaker 2: I have Larry Sanders show on there ahead of Righteous Jimstones.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I.
Speaker 3: Just love playing on the late night talk show.
Speaker 4: Flight of the Concords.
Speaker 2: I did not have Flight at the Concords above it.
Speaker 2: I liked Flight of the Concords, but I didn't love it. Dude,
Speaker 2: The Tenacious d first season I liked, but it's like
Speaker 2: I'd rather just listen to the album. But all those
Speaker 2: bits from the album are in the show right ahead
Speaker 2: of Righteous jimsones for me?
Speaker 3: Is he spounding down?
Speaker 4: Still?
Speaker 3: The season one is so good. Season two when.
Speaker 2: They go to Mexico is very good. They got way
Speaker 2: lost in season three and four. I have Silicon Valley
Speaker 2: above Righteous Jimstone. Are we including the John Oliver in
Speaker 2: this whole thingers? That can its own category?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 3: If we are, then I would have to consider that.
Speaker 6: But I think it's its own category of like where
Speaker 6: Bill Maher is or whatever.
Speaker 2: I have Bury ahead of Righteous Jim Stones. I have
Speaker 2: Vice Principals ahead of Righteous Jim Stones.
Speaker 3: So come by.
Speaker 2: Crashing Pete Holmes is a comedian man three season it
Speaker 2: is wonderful.
Speaker 4: I got bored with him.
Speaker 2: I know everyone gets bored with him because he's awkward
Speaker 2: guy that shows the most. And I've comedians have been like, dude,
Speaker 2: this is the most realistic take on what it takes
Speaker 2: to be a stand up comedian in New York.
Speaker 6: Just the work your way up thing. Ali g Oh
Speaker 6: my god. Hell, yes, I forgot about how that's gotta
Speaker 6: be up there for me.
Speaker 3: That's in fact, I haven't seen all that.
Speaker 6: That's definitely top five for me, maybe top three.
Speaker 4: This show.
Speaker 2: I'm just just because we're talking about this. I haven't
Speaker 2: seen the show Girls. I liked Girls quite a bit.
Speaker 6: I could see getting bored with it, but I liked
Speaker 6: it a lot, and the acting on it is awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I missed that one. I don't know why. It's great.
Speaker 2: Hacks one's tons of wards, but I've quit it, and
Speaker 2: I was like, should I give it a third shot
Speaker 2: and try not to quit it?
Speaker 3: I think it's fine, man.
Speaker 2: I really like the rehearsal on HBO, but I don't
Speaker 2: even know that you can call it a comedy. That's
Speaker 2: more of like a science experiment.
Speaker 3: You know, it was still going.
Speaker 5: Are y'all watching the new one at all? I've dabbled
Speaker 5: in it. It's really cool.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's so strange, so strange, you can't tell
Speaker 6: exactly what's happening on it.
Speaker 5: He takes it into some weird places, but he always
Speaker 5: has a serious facial expression.
Speaker 4: I never know what's real or not.
Speaker 3: I know that guy is really good at that though,
Speaker 3: So there.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's a righteous is wonderful and I can't wait to
Speaker 2: see what he does next because he brings back all
Speaker 2: these people.
Speaker 6: He move to Charleston like he does not live to
Speaker 6: La Life anymore. Are you guys not going to put
Speaker 6: the white Uh? Did he lived in Charlotte? It's Charleston Arston? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 6: are you guys not gonna put white lotus on there?
Speaker 6: As much as you love that, that's not give it
Speaker 6: as a comedy as much as a drama. But I
Speaker 6: guess it could be a comedy.
Speaker 4: It could be. It's funny. I mean it's it's probably
Speaker 4: got more comedy in it than Barry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be true.
Speaker 6: There was I don't think any of y'all watched the
Speaker 6: show that Mike White did with Laura dern.
Speaker 4: Oh Man. The hell was that called?
Speaker 6: There's just two seasons of it called something or other.
Speaker 4: Huh. I'll look it up. I'll look it up during
Speaker 4: the next song.
Speaker 5: All Right, we got just over three minutes and we're
Speaker 5: gonna crank up the way back machine and get back
Speaker 5: into the old barn swallow situation. Is it a story
Speaker 5: about farm life or is it a bird that's pestering
Speaker 5: my house? All that's coming your way next
