"It's a water animal."

No one else in the world looks like Brodus Clay!

Tyrus is billed as 6'9" (yes, billed as that, perhaps not actually that) and Carlito is billed as 5'10" so there is a substantial height difference between the two.

He's too busy being the head NXT trainer and shaving his back.

I recognized Carlito and Brodus Clay right away but didn't even notice that Kia Stevens is actually Awesome Kong. I felt really stupid after that blunder. I also noticed Alex Riley and John Morrison in their cameos. Morrison is looking great (never caught Lucha Underground).

I can't believe that I, a huge wrestling mark, did not realize that was Awesome Kong. I'm very familiar with her work. She's presented so differently here obviously. And I never knew her real name was Kia Stevens either, so it just didn't click.

I said it somewhere else, but I've never liked Maron as an interviewer, podcaster, stand-up comic, etc … but I *LOVE* him in this. He's absolutely fantastic.

I said it in another comment section, but Welfare Queen is truly a genius parody of 1980s wrestling gimmicks and the actress is phenomenal in the role.

I distinctly remember one of my friends thinking I was a homosexual for liking Your Woman.

Nothing about the Grammy's makes sense. I remember a song (Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, maybe?) winning a Grammy in 2000, two years after the song was initially popular.

I don't know but I like both of them.

That happened in the states too. I very clearly remember the rise of White Stripes, Andrew WK, and The Strokes. It was a glorious few months.

They had a few other charting hits, but yeah that is a great track.

Another great one hit wonder: Michael Penn's "No Myth."

No, the 4 Non Blondes song.

What's Up? is inexplicably popular in Thailand (as are Country Roads and Hotel California). I have no earthly idea why. You have no idea how many thousands of times I've heard "What's Up?" in broken English.

Great song.

This is probably interesting to nobody, but I met a guy from New Zealand in a bar who asked me if he could play some "New Zealand rock music" for our enjoyment. I said sure, why not. This song was the second song he played.
