SYMP Watch: Episode 81 - Simply Paranoid

B.S. Rating: BananaSlugBananaSlugBananaSlug

Doug and Matthew sitting in a tree, K-I-S…

At least it seemed that way when the show started, with only Fields and McGill, two Diet Pepsi’s and a Snowball microphone.

No Josh. No Jana. No Jake. No Andy. No comedy coach (we miss that guy - whatever his name was).

Just the Future of the Church and the Old Guy. And Nadeem.

And it was an okay show.

Then Torrie Fields stopped by. And the show got better. Of course, not because TF said much, but because McGill always gets better with a female Fields in the room. And when Mrs. Doug stopped by, we thought it might get really good. But she stayed off camera. Which was a bummer. We would’ve liked to have seen the hot dress. Cause we’re curious.

Dr. Fields, however, was having some senior moments. No, he wasn’t forgetting anything…that we remember. He was having real senior moments. You know, like when your 90 year old neighbor starts yelling at inanimate objects to “get off my grass” and ends the tirade with “darn kids!”

We’re pretty sure if there had been some scissors handy, DF might have suddenly snapped and gone Kojak, while telling his daughter, “Fine! You like my head? Who loves it now, baby?!”

[Editor's note: the vote was 3-2 that the previous paragraph didn't make any sense, but we're keeping it anyhow.]

We learned alot from this episode, though. (Ha! Just kidding, Big Guy. We know it’s two words.)

Among our favorite bits from number 81:

  • M&M (speaking of Brazel’s Twittering): “He found his Twitter voice, and I don’t want to hear it.”
  • Doug: “Fake non-verbal”
  • T.Fields: “Josh is warmer than Matt”
  • McGill: “Dude, this is what you need to do
  • McGill: “It would be a mailstorm of mental idiots”

That last one almost became the title of this post. Other possible titles included:

  • Our Fake Friends
  • Fat People are Dumb
  • Twitterholics
  • Gentle Political Puppies
  • Who Needs Prep?
  • WWJD - What Would Josh Do?
  • The Plug Cast (This was tied for second, since Dougie not only was plugging products left and right, but he also seems to be jonesing for some hair plugs. Or as Matt suggested, he should Rogaine-up.)

What caught your ear? Did you think DF was a little self-conscious? Were you glad that - unlike the last couple of times - there was no talk of self-pleasuring in this episode? And did you have the same shocked reaction we had when you heard that Torrie sits in Matt’s lap? (”Matt has a lap?!”) Post your comments. We would love to read them.
