The Worst Idea Of All Time
AJLT S2E02
•
Well, that didn't last long. Tim is out of gas while Guy continues to conduct the AJLT hype train. The second episode of the season, undeniably worse than the first, balances several obscenely unrelatable problems with the fact that, racism still exists!? The show also parks all of its protagonists’ stories to introduce and excite us with the presence of Tony Danza - star of television! The show’s absurd relationship to software continues to draw the eye of Tim, while the refusal to show Che doing any more stand up draws the ire of Guy. We've got gaslighting, we've got emotional growth, we've got Carrie refusing to learn anything about herself or the world.

56:12|In the longest Good Times episode yet, Guy and Tim find themselves bouncing from idea to idea with wild abandon. New merch? A screenplay? A BUSINESS that rents MOVIES!?

Check out David’s fantastic new show, What Did You Do Yesterday?, wherever good podcasts are sold.Our intro music, “Los Angeles,” courtesy of Eyeliner.TMG: Get every episode early and in video on our Substack!
