Everybody, good to be back.

So we're here with another episode of the returning fan favorite.

This is us. This week, I'm going on a solo run.

I'm doing a show that I've referenced a lot that I think is a very culturally

interesting show. And it's actually quite a bit like a lot more interesting than

I thought it was at first. At first, I thought it was just this cultural curiosity.

And now, well, to quote, to quote, tool, I saw the pieces fit because I watched them fall away.

So, yeah, this week we're talking about Ray Donovan.

So I'm going to talk a little bit about what Ray Donovan means, what it's like,

like kind of what cultural niche it fits after I recap this.

But just as just as a little background, if you're not familiar with it before I get into it.

Ray Donovan was a showtime series. You've probably never fucking watched it.

Your dad almost 100% watches it. It went on for seven fucking seasons.

There were seven seasons of this. And from what you can tell, if you're Google image searching right now,

or you've seen a billboard or whatever, you know what's about Leafs, Shriver, just grimacing all over the place.

I mean, you're kind of right that. But your dad fucking loves watching it.

Well, I'm going to recap it and then I'm going to talk about it.

Then maybe you'll see why all of your dads are so into this shit.

All right, so right out of it begins this first episode of the first season.

It begins with John Void, Mickey being released from prison.

He instantly goes to a priest's apartment, puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.

That's the type of show this is. But I do want to know all joined John Void scenes.
