Was skeptical of the time jump but last night’s episode made me feel somewhat better about it.
Only two episodes left.

Couldn’t tell who the first podcast pastor was voiced by, but Danny McBride and Bill Burr as the other pastors were fun little voiceover cameos

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.

Same. Wth vinylguy
The rest of the world isn’t nearly as Puritan about drinking as the US. VG probably had his first glass of red at 8.

Lol

I was maybe 10 when I drank sider. First huge hungover was 13 I think.

It was of course super dark but so fucking funny. Sally has always been such an awful human being and watching her trying to engage so poorly with her son was hilarious.

I feel bad for her. He seemed a little too co-dependent with Barry and Sally through her coping mechanisms really doesn’t have a relationship with their son

Spike, you know that’s a reach for that joke. I expected you to be more on target instead of that wide right.

The buffalo bills would be Barry in that dynamic anyway

That felt like the right balance of tone throughout relative to the other episodes this season. Great stuff.

Im hoping they do something fucked up in the finale. I liked that Gene is now pointed out. And i loved how he went nuts with the idea of Daniel Day Lewis playing him in the movie...they know him a lot haha.
