Funny in '20?

Ryan and Emma are back to discuss "The Baby Shower" and "The Chinese Restaurant" from Season 2. Join us as we run through some of the following topics:

- How can we still be "Funny in 20" if it's now 2021? Poor planning on our part.
- Boston Police beware, Emma texts and drives constantly
- Was the FBI cable scam dream sequence funny, or just stupid?
- Do men really hunt and women nest with the remote control?
- Cell phones would have solved the whole problem of "The Chinese Restaurant"
- Just how bad is "Plan 9 From Outer Space"?
- Emma's family once ate "antique hot dogs"
- The first edition of EPISODE TRIVIA. (You can imagine how Emma did.)

Also, Mike actually agrees with Ryan that men don't share intimate details, but he is not happy about being "The Takes Nazi" and wants a different moniker.

WE'RE BACK. BABY! After a two-month hiatus, Ryan and Emma are back to get into Season 2 Episodes 7, 8, and 9: "The Revenge," "The Heart Attack," and "The Deal." Ryan tells us about his own fake heart attack scare while Emma is concerned for George's health and just wants him to have regular medium orgasms. Then we talk about quitting your job on a whim and the beauty of Jerry and Elaine's "deal." Meanwhile, the Takes Nazi, Michael Walsh, is horrified that Ryan has never seen "I Love Lucy" or "Jurassic Park."

Ryan and Emma get into dating signals and unwritten rules brought up by Season 2 Episode 4 "The Phone Message."

Ryan, like George, dreams of having 365 pairs of underwear. Emma likes "I Love Lucy" but Ryan has never seen a single episode. Emma wants to have guys call the next day if they want and Ryan used to live next to the Polar bottling factory before millennials killed soda. Also, Emma wants any future dating partners to know that with her, coffee means coffee.

Meanwhile, Mike was too young to go to Vietnam but also too old to go to World War II, and he loves jackets with interesting linings.

Ryan and Emma get into "The Jacket" and discuss why people generally have a lot more clothes than they really need, whether fathers are intimidating to men, and whether today's feminized men could ever relate to the "men's men" of the Greatest Generation. Meanwhile, Mike reminds Ryan that Uncle Leo is, in fact, Helen Seinfeld's brother.

Ryan and Emma talk about Season 2 Episode 2 "The Pony Remark," touching on whether immigrants can be expected to have ponies, when is it okay to skip someone's funeral, and admiring the baggy clothing of the 90's.

Ryan and Emma discuss Season 2 Episode 1 "The Ex-Girlfriend" and get into techniques of break-ups, taking cantaloupe out of circulation, and whether books are necessary after you've read them. Meanwhile, Mike roasts Ryan for mixing up Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman.

Ryan and Emma break down Season 1 Episodes 4 and 5, "Male Unbonding" and "The Stock Tip," while Mike roasts them for their takes from the previous episode.

Some highlights: George's fanny pack, Emma used to work at a bank and had to refuse customers trying to cash in their change, Ryan doesn't know the difference between Andy Kaufman and Lenny Bruce. and the perils of advancing "phases" in relationships.
