Of course 40s aren’t a thing in the UK, they’re on the metric system!

how do you not just do a comm for this, holy shit.

I so badly want to like this review. But I feel like the Wayne brothers would be greatly disappointed in me for changing this perfect number for this perfect episode

It sucks that Hollywood took the franchise from the Wayans family. But l also hate the did Little man after 😂 god l hate that movie. But l think the Wayans still got it. I’m so mad that Shawn never did a romantic comedy like knocked up or something. Very grounded comedy. The Wayans always work in grounded comedy

Speaking about Fallon here, does David know he's quoted on his Wikipedia page?

Strongly recommend the podcast "What Had Happened Was" with Prince Paul being interviewed by Open Mike Eagle. It happens that Prince Paul, who was essentially the inventor of hip hop skits (in his records with De La Soul) also produced the Chris Rock comedy albums with the songs. He's also really funny, talented, humble, and well worth listening to.

IMDB... Am I right?

Zipper swaddle a lifesaver

David- go with a magic Merlin sleep sack if she keeps busting out of swaddles. Also when she’s 6 months old I recommend this program my wife found called “taking cara babies.” Our son has been a solid 10-12 hour a night sleeper since we did that with him. A little late in the game and they’re expensive, but a SNOO also works well for the first 6 months ish (depending on how fast the kid grows). A friend of mine’s daughter refused to sleep for like a year and watching his descent into madness made me willing to do just about anything to avoid that fate, so we purchased one of those and it worked well.

This Singleton mini series has been so so good so far!
Liam Brady
And yeah, seconded on the sleep sack for the little ones. Works a treat in my experience

So... I kept waiting for the commentary to start... It didnt twig for me until past an hour in that it wasnt a commentary episode, i just thought it was the best preamble ever
Jenny Potter
David, have you guys tried a Woombie/sleep sack?

An apotheosis of the podcast medium. Seriously maybe I’m in a weird mood but this has that vibe of like a Pynchon or Ben Lerner novel where you just went on a bunch of inane tangents but somehow I feel like you’ve described all of human experience. A+

A Space Jam sequel needs something as culturally defining as Bugs Bunny & Michael Jordan, which exists in neither Looney Tunes or the NBA today. Maybe a decade ago it coulda been Space Ham w/Ponyo & Michael Phelps. Today?

The final Jane and Henry Fonda scenes just destroyed me

I was hoping David would get into the details of British Smirnoff Ice having vodka in it but US Smirnoff Ice being a "malt beverage" - who knows what Griffin would think of the UK version?!

Hey, I'll say it... On Golden Pond slaps.

Classic movie. So funny. I kinda like ish the boys would consider doing KEENAN IVORY WAYANS on the main pod. He had a big influence on my childhood (this, scary movie 1&2, and White Chicks)
Travis Williams
David, my daughter would break out of her swaddle all the time. We eventually swaddled her with one arm free and she seemed happy after that.
Morgan
man the more I hear about Ben’s past the more I realize I have never done anything fun in my life ever

The energy in this episode was exactly what I needed for a rainy hour-long Friday commute. Chaotic but also chill and meandering. *chef's kiss*
Joshua Guerrin
David- As far as swaddling: you think you're going to hurt you daughter but you're not. Make that wrap as tight as you can! She is used to a uterus. Your blanket wrapping skills just can't keep up!

Loved the episode but I gotta say, you were way too rigid. Loosen up, go off script for once!
John Maddox
I love every gag about Ashtray's Dad being younger than him. Killed me every time.
Jordan B. Anderson
Saw this on release and all I remember is the chilling chestnut-adjacent shot of a black teen earning a scholarship and immediately getting gunned down. I assume there are jokes I'm forgetting.
Ray
I didn't get that this was a spoof film the first time I stumbled across it on Starz
