Wow. I'm glad we spent some time on that. I sometimes forget people pause things and look at the background.

Flip those. CTH and then Sub!
One of the writers was at a concert where Huey came on stage and he just was like — Im gonna do all of Sports. And it was the greatest thing ever.
I assumed meaty chili and buttermilk makes superman evil like red kryptonite.
Awesome. I think it was among the best cold openings we've ever done…
I wish I had a 40 minute show and could have done a Johnny Atkins 10 minute drum solo.
You're gonna think I'm BSing you, but we have discussed it.
The willow grove mall on the show is a building here on the sony lot. The Wawa is a liquor store literally across the street from the lot. The school is the editing building on the sony lot. I only get to go off the lot one day a week so I just gotta make it work…. and it often doesn't I know.
Well, then I chose wrong!!! I loved smugglins because of Baggins… but I fought for Dick Biggens and got it!
I wish I could have done something with Mazes & Monsters. Maybe next year. Half of the stuff I love people tell me not to do because they think the world can't comprehend my nerdity and will leave the show.
Tostino Pizza Rolls!?!?!?!? You ever see the parody 90s commercial where the kids end up morphing into a monster and eating everyone? SO GOOD.
This whole show has become a fantasy. You think my Dad would ever sit on the edge of a bed and say he was wrong? NO WAY!!!
God, I love that you do this! Just followed you on twitter, Mikey. You the man.
The tater tots is a long, bizarre story. Originally, we wrote a whole bit about Barry's love of tater-t's. But we cut it VERY early on… but the stage direction was never cut by accident. So I'm in editing and Barry is holding a giant plate of tots. For no reason. They took what we wrote and literally gave it to…
8 seasons? That's like 420 stories about my family! I need to have them over more.
The original title WAS Mazes and Monsters! I intended for it to be a whole runner and we show Tom Hanks on TV. I am surrounded by normal people who thought it was waaaay to obscure and alienating, so I let it go.
Other options for Dick Biggens we shot were — Turd Smugglins and Max Bonerstein. The censors went insane with all three.
I like that people recognize Jenkintown now. It's literally like 3 square miles!
The actor who plays Chad is shooting a movie now which is a bummer. Hope to have him back next year. And gym class was non-coed so it was weird to have Emmy there playing D&D but not in gym class. There is usually a reason for things. I'm neurotic about details, except when it comes to sports.
Sean got insanely huge and deep voiced to be 13, but I cover it all next week in the birthday episode as a matter of fact!
