“Why is this sauce so good in the restaurant? It’s cause they fuckin’ put butter on it.”

I was a little surprised at the fact that both Chris and Andy thought JLC was a little “much” in episode 6. No shade, but this coupled with the fact that in an earlier episode (it may have been them reviewing Season 1, I listened to that recently), the two of them didn’t know the difference between AA and Al-Anon, it makes me think that they might not have a lot of experience with that sort of addiction. It rang as very true to life for me, almost too close. I’m glad they came around on her for the finale.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

E8 pushed me over the edge when Richie got all pissed about the napkin.

Along with Friday Night Lights, this is probably the only other show that makes me want to be a better person.

I outright wept during epsidoes 7, 8, & 9. I got emotional and had a barrage of feelings, but I did not cry during the finale. So maybe he'll be okay?
