She and Hodgman also co-hosted a semi-secret variety show at a warehouse in Brooklyn for a long time; I was a regular attendee. Some great guests like Immortal Technique and a shanghaied Property Brother, and also Travis McElroy who said some extremely awkward stuff about #metoo

I feel like Monty Belmonte is in like 1/5th the episodes, usually a whole block in the summer. He's not rare

speaking of Hodgman he appears to be having a normal one about the Oscars for some reason https://twitter.com/CokeEnjoyer/status/1386822261269831680?s=20

Like, I will always love John Hodgman but also this is very much the tweet of a man in his late 40s with an MFA from Yale Drama School whose greatest contribution to the cultural and artistic landscape, by far, is appearing in a series of memorable Apple commercials, and who spends each of his summers living in Maine for about 10 weeks

It was a really good time, they had wildly bigger stars then you'd expect to show up. One of the one's I went to had freakin' **Patrick Stewart** as the unannounced guest. Jean was always really great as an emcee. They had a small band and one of the shows ended with them both doing a lovely cover of Biz Markie's 'Just a Friend'. Miss those times.

She is way better than the other brothers at interrupting Justin during Munch Squad to say funny things instead of just letting him read the whole press release verbatim.

In the latest Wonderful! , you too can learn how Griffin is feeling about fatherhood! Gus is such a goofy nickname for a baby, it rules.

I know it shouldn't come as a surprise because they've been doing this for a while now, but it's always impressive to me when someone can go on the news and not be awkward and make an entertaining segment and interaction with the anchors seem effortless.

I love that he has the most "I spent a lot of time and money making sure my audio is perfect" recording space, and it always sounds the worst of the three brothers. Meanwhile, Griffin is in an empty bedroom and it sounds totally normal.

These episodes where they have a guest on for the entire show doing normal questions are so good I can't believe it's taken them this long to give the format a shot.
