I actually – so Benito Skinner, who plays Benny, and Mary Beth Broney, who plays Grace, his sister, they have a podcast together.
And I had been subscribed to it for like over a year due to a friend of the pod and a good friend of Brendan in real life, Gina Dorso, and Meg Donahue's recommendation to subscribe to that podcast because they're also very big into Gossip Girl, very big into the OC, and they're just very funny.
And we were looking for a show to watch, and Bree just put on overcompensating, and it was so funny.
I watched the fourth episode when I went home, either that night or the last night.
And then I went off to Paris, and... was going to save the second half of the series for when I got back, but I just couldn't wait.
That first night in the hotel room, I watched the last four episodes all on my phone, on Amazon Prime, on my phone, watched it all, finished it that night, and those last four episodes, I was laughing my heart out, I was bawling my eyes out.
Yeah, that's how I did it, and I've, I literally, since watching it, I was like, this is a show that was, like, handmade for me, it is the perfect show, it is so funny, it is so heartfelt, it is, the characters are amazing, and I've been singing its praise ever since, and trying to get everyone to watch, and you and me both, Brie, have been, like, every time someone who hasn't seen it, like, comes over, we'll, like, force it down their throats and make them to watch.
