I'm so stoked; I managed to get my best friend into the show, so we've been working our way through season 1. I forgot how fuckin solid the entire season is.

My nosy rear end is still curious if there was some sort of falling out between this creative team and Steve Little, given how he went from second billing to very minor character to not showing up at all in Gemstones. Different shows, different tones, but given the troupe nature of all three it does make ya wonder.

Sometimes it's just a case of timing. He only shows up during the very end of VICE PRINCIPALS right? I don't think it's a Ben Best situation.

I think Steve Little served a very specific function in Eastbound and Down, and that type of character hasn't been needed in his subsequent shows. His appearance in Vice Principals just felt like a fun "hey there he is!" cameo and not like a shoving the guy off.

He's also a Voice Actor and like many VA's, once you start getting those gigs regularly, that quickly becomes your whole thing.

Steve Little can be absolutely hilarious. That said, his voice is too nasally/whiny for how often he's present in EB&D - at least when he's doing the sniveling voice he does often. That's not a dig really, I think I've posted about it in this thread before, he's just a little overused on that show. Still one of my favorite of the McBrideiverse, though I think Gemstones has edged it out in part because it's closer to home for me and in part because I just love anything with John Goodman in it.

Steve Little should only be in RG if he plays a Peppermint Butler type character. An upstanding and organized agent of evil chaos.

The show could’ve gone two ways after BJ’s pink romper with a cummerbund — let that remain his most ridiculous outfit ever … or have it be just the beginning.

I am very glad they chose the latter.

I’m not as high on Stevie as this but do think he’d be distracting in anything other than a cameo or minor role since he was such a major part of eastbound and down but a) that’s not really relevant except for us sickos of this creative team and b) I’m totally cool with Goggins playing a more prominent role here despite vice principals; I guess my thesis is goggins good

This would be a good callback they could work in organically. I approve.

Watched the most recent episode tonight with my good friend who I introduced it to, with her wife whom she introduced it to, and we were all dying at the costuming, so these recent conversations have resonated. Good show

I also have the elephant ear washing thing and it's great.

But also, when I was around 15 or 16, my mom and I went to a 'healer' and had ear candles done.

Even my rudimentary understanding of science had me thinking it was bullshit, and as the years went on, it was proven even more so. I was polite at the time, but afterwards, I told my mom that I think that was bullshit.

For anyone who doesn't know, the idea behind the ear candle is you have a tube made out of a bunch of (non ear) wax. You stick one end in your ear, and the charlatan lights the other end, and because fire needs oxygen, it'll create a vacuum in the tube which will pull out the earwax.

There are 2 problems with that. A) there's no way that a little flame at the end of some wax tube is creating a strong enough vacuum to do anything, but 2) if it DID, that would destroy the timpanic membrane (basically your eardrum), which I don't think I need to tell you how painful that would be. Don't put any sort of vacuum on your ear, kids!

Christ I hate pseudoscience. But I love Uncle Baby Billy (and Goggins, in general). I am conflicted.

Anyway, humble apologies for the dee-rail, now...

Anyone who likes Walton Goggins and Jesus, you should check out The Apostle. Robert Duvall plays a scummy-yet-sincere preacher who sets up a racially integrated church while on the run from the law, and Walton Goggins plays the preacher's #1 disciple.

Goggin's character is the total opposite of the shallow-yet-trashy manipulator he plays on Justified/Vice Principals/Righteous Gemstones.
