Folks, this is the Faulty Towers episode.

It's been a long time coming.

Felt overdue for a couple of reasons.

One, because it's a thing that Will and I both, you know, have our own

relationship with, something we like, but also because we recently spent a lot of time with Mr.

Cleese on his not-hit show, The Dinosaur Hour. We watched every single episode of it,

and you can find them all at patreon.com slash Michael and us. There are more combined minutes of the dinosaur hour than there are a faulty tower.

So I just want to throw that out there.

That's incredible.

If you added up all of our episodes, is it longer than the entire run of the dinosaur hour?

Our episodes on the dinosaur hour, yeah.

Well, I guess much depends on do you count the Doyle and Schaefer fits.

Yeah, well, I think you do. I think you have to. Can you imagine the dinosaur without Doyle and Schaefer? I know. Then it's, then it's the dinosaur like 20 minutes. I mean, it's, it's a shame that the dinosaur hour probably isn't coming back for season two because like what will become of Doyle and Schaefer like I I want to, I want the back. I mean, I guess is it Doyle or Schaefer? Which was the Mater D? I mean, he's got his job at the castle at the Silly Walks Castle. He's, hopefully that's a good union job, though knowing Mr. Cleese, I'm not sure I would count on that. Oh, maybe that's it. Maybe that's a cheap shot. I'm sorry. Well, Mr. Cleese's politics are a little modeled, which we'll get to.

But it was tough. I'm not sure I would count on that. Oh, maybe that's it. Maybe that's a cheap shot. I'm sorry. Well, Mr. Cleese's politics are a little modeled, which we'll get to.

But it was time.

Look, folks, it was time.

After roasting John Cleese so much and talking about his shitty G.B. News show, we owe it to the esteemed Mr. and to ourselves to go back to when he was good, when he and his then wife and collaborator,

Connie Booth,

together wrote and starred in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

Please consider this discussion a sort of addendum to our recent exhaustive tour through the Dinosaur Hour.

We consider this a kind of a kind of coda, a postscript to that.

Now, you may have seen a couple years ago, I think a year or two ago, Cleese was saying that he's going to do a reboot of Faulty Towers. He's going to do another season of it. To that, I'll just say, I really don't think that's going to happen. I mean, let's be realistic. Can you imagine, like, what that would be? What are the update? Don't mention the pronouns. Don't mention it once but I think I got away with it.
