    Phil has so much strong, relentless, positive energy that even Neal seemed to be in a good, hopeful mood. I'm sure he'll get over it, but it was great to witness Phil 's steamroller just flatten out all the usual sturm und drang so nicely.

    I always thought Phil was kinda goofy but this episode gave me a new respect for the dude. I appreciate his positive outlook. Something he said that I try to ask myself all the time is "what if it all goes right"

    Neal: When you started, Bourdain’s on the air…and there’s a few shows like this.
    Phil: You know how I sold the show? I sold one line. “I’m exactly like Anthony Bourdain if he was afraid of everything.” 😂
    Brilliant distillation of the premise!

    Phil is one of my comedy heroes. Incredible writer, improviser, his documentary Exporting Raymond is genuinely insightful, and his new show is fun as hell. He rules.

  • @MarioJaker

    Me and my wife just rewatched the whole show, and it really is amazing how 90% of the episodes take place entirely within two sets: Ray and Deb’s house, and Frank and Marie’s house.
    It’s an excellently structured show. Jokes and charisma and amazing comedic performances. It takes a simple premise very seriously.

    We need people like Phil in life. Yeah he’s positive and all that, but it’s not that shallow, oppressive type. His ability to participate in the simple joys of life and share it with people is the sort of thing we need more of.

    • @gheller2261
      @gheller2261 Před 17 dny

      He's exactly how every successful, financially taken care of person should be but unfortunately isn't. My wife works in higher end retail (not Tiffany's but not Ashley's) and every day she recounts almost the same story - a woman who does not work but has a lot of money and only time on her hands is nasty and miserable to everyone. No reason to be anything but happy and nice to people. Same with some couples who walk in. Proof that money doesn't buy happiness but, as she says when she comes home exhausted every day, it should.

    Neal seemed almost immediately put off by Phil's unrelenting positivity, like he was struggling to listen to him without telling him to shut up, or making fun of him.. He managed to keep it together, though his constant "yeah"'s were a little impatient at times. But I'd love to have been able to hear his inner monologue while being bombarded with a level of happiness Neal likely never knew existed, and probably still questions whether it was authentic or not, or if Phil is just somehow too dumb to see the negative side that, at times, Neal seems to see almost exclusively. Neal's hard work on himself, and newfound positive attitude was put to the test trying to keep up to Phil's inability to say anything negative about anyone, or anything. In many ways, he's the anti-Neal lol

    What he's describing as OCD is not. It's a routine or being a creature of habit. When you think, "if I don't follow this routine, or do things in this order, something bad will happen", that's more OCD. That's not all OCD is but just an example.

    Someone feed Phil is a great show because you have Phil you have atmosphere you have locales that we only dream of strange foods we didn't know came from those places and there's always friendly people it makes you want to go to these places and meet them.

    Phil's energy here is more of a ramps episode than blocks. Not that he had no adversity that stepped on his joy or his purpose but that he had the hurdles and did the things you need to do to overcome them. Like replacing that generic angel on shoulder, and devil on the other, to validate your reactions, instead just have a Phil push both of them off and be like "No, those are both horrible ideas, try this instead.". Homie is like the embodiment of us being the only real impediment to our own joy or fulfillment and that we chose the other thing as long as we stay aware.

    Neal - I get it - you work for a living, you deserve to get paid...BUT, OMG, the commercial interruptions in this podcast reminded me why I stopped watching some shows on TV! I don't regret watching this one with Phil, because I'm such a fan of his - and you, of course - but, I typically watched every single one of these before...even with people I was not familiar with, but not anymore. I'll just watch the ones where I'm a mega-fan of the guest...that's how much I hate commercials.☮

    I really want to watch/listen to a lot of these eps when I see the guest, but the ads are so ubiquitous that I no longer can.
    I, or anyone that values their time, can not turn an episode on and simply let it play while doing chores or working or whatever ppl do while listening. The ads require the listener to be fully at the ready, prepared to hit the “skip” button every 3-5 mins at minimum.
    Maybe Neal sees this or the right person close to Neal, and they can fix the issue so ppl like me that WANT TO LISTEN, can listen once again.
