I met him in December 2017 when he opened for Jeff Rosenstock and after his set he manned his merch table and I bought his Christmas record, totally cool guy.
Also if anyone knows any of these moments off the top of their head I'd really like to find one right now.
It doesn’t seem like they hate it, the usually love it. They seem to be implying that there may have been a recipe change recently?
I think I've reached the funniest quote from the 'Boys. The Hooters episode with Kulap: [before doing The Leftovers bit and they talk about Justin Theroux's supposedly large hog] MITCH: "Oh man - these handsome guys and their large dongs. Why was I created? Am I cancer cell with a soul?" WIGER: "I think you were an experiment to see how long a cell could live before putting a gun in it's mouth. The over/under was 40 years."
I gotta say, when I used to trim my pubes, it looked like a pastrami sandwich down there. Now with Manscaped, my pubes are clean, fresh, and just right for the ladies!
The Blowup was inevitable. Mitch and Wiger play up their contentious behavior, much to the humor of their fans but they both also seem difficult to work with. Mitch's lateness would drive anyone up a wall but especially anyone that is as much a stickler like Wiger is. That said, Wiger can be a stick in the mud in the moment when Mitch tries to let loose. Mitch knows how to push Wiger's buttons but they definitely needed to have a conversation about what to push and when to pull on both their ends. I used to do a movie/beer podcast with my girlfriend and I get the stress of doing a show that asks a lot of its hosts. In our case it was watching a horror movie, taking notes, and tracking down and buying a beer to conceptually pair with it. It was all very time consuming but I cannot imagine having to find the time EVERY WEEK to get in a car, drive to a restaurant, take notes, eat the horrible food, going to a studio, and coming up with fresh segments. Also - the 2016 election did them NO favors for their overall mood. I think most of us can relate.
I think Mitch is happier being at home and Wiger is happy he doesn’t ever have to leave his house and be around people.
Yeah when Griffin was on I was quite surprised to hear he can’t wait to go back to in person records but not remotely surprised to hear Wiger would do virtual forever lol
