Hi Neil Brennan here this is the blocks podcast my guest today is has a Netflix show

where he he eats I say that because you've done a show that took actual work.

He also created the Everybody Loves Raymond show, which is one of the best sitcoms ever as far as I'm concerned and his name is Phil

Rosenthal you're wincing right now if there you can't I'm people... I love your show. I love you. I think you're

hysterical. I can't believe we've never met. We have these mutual friends. I am you

have cool guests. Yes. I'm the least welcome to the least cool guest you've had

on this show you're cool it's never good when you have to say you're now let me explain why you're

cool you're no let me explain why you're

accomplished I respect there are very few people it does to me there are very

few people I respect more than people who created and ran a TV show.

It's just, don't ask me why.

No, there's a, it's just the whole...

But Neil, there are hacks that are accomplished. I agree, but there aren are, but you're not one of them.

So I'll explain to you my point of view on everybody loves.

I've known Ray Romano as we discussed before since I was like 1314 him

and my brother started doing stand-up together in the 80s. So I got the pilot.

Well I got the pilot for

for everybody loves Raymond on video on VHS when this was yes

so I had the pilot for that and I had the Chris Rock

bring the pain on VHS as well that had come out maybe three weeks earlier this is the

1996 right that's right me and dishapel watched them together and he literally was like,

I feel like I just got hit in the head with a 2 by 4.
