0:00.0	so jordan and i decided on sunday night to just try an episode of american horror story the first one
0:08.8	the first season yeah the first one of the first season just to see if we liked it because it could
0:12.9	be something fun to watch during Halloween and we don't have time to watch a movie exactly what i
0:16.4	did two years ago okay well then you can tell me if i should stick with it because we watched one episode and neither of us was quite sold. Yeah. Like we just looked at each other and we said,
0:25.6	well, that was weird. I think the show is not nearly as good as people think it is. And it changes,
0:31.1	right? Every season is different. Every season is different. The first season I think is totally
0:35.2	decent, totally worth watching. I did enjoy it. Okay.
0:37.8	Um, I also like the second season, although it was, the second season is scarier, I think. Okay. Because it's in a mental, a haunted mental hospital. So I'm just wondering if we should keep going or if it's always going to be a little weird. It's always a little weird. Okay. But I do think it's worth going. All right.

And like, who knows what's going on in the basement? I know. Yeah. Why are you walking around naked? All your parts are vulnerable. Why do you want to expose yourself like that, literally and figuratively.
1:27.6	Yeah, no.
1:28.7	Yeah.
1:29.3	It's just because he's Dylan McDermott.
1:30.8	He knows that he can.
1:31.6	He can.
1:32.7	It's not fair.
1:34.0	He's one of those actors who doesn't age.
1:35.5	That's true.
1:36.0	He's like Roblo.
1:36.9	Super weird.
1:37.5	Maybe that's what was happening in the basement.
1:39.0	Yeah.
1:39.2	Yeah.
