All right, what's up? All you pillowcases out there. I literally just went for it with pillowcases just to see how it sounded.

That was a song titled Chicago after I saw the show, The Bear, if y'all have seen The Bear, and you heard that song and you thought it was fire and that's the way that my brain works.

Anyways, welcome to another episode of Pillows and Beer. I'm here with my boy Craig Conover. We are in the hall, Cabernet Studio. What's up, Craig?

What up, yo, yo. I'm a little different on that because I love the, you don't know this yet, but I watched The Bear.

You finished it? Yeah, I started it yesterday and finished it yesterday.

Exactly.

When you heard that song in the intro, you didn't think it was awesome.

When I'm watching the show, yeah, but like I'll never listen to that song again. Really? Yeah. When I, like I didn't skip the intro to The Bear, which I usually skip the intros because some are truly terrible, but I didn't mind it because I like the song, but like I would, I just will never listen to it again.

I think that they have such a great soundtrack, which just goes so well with the show, but that makes me happy though that you finished the show in one day because it is that good. Yeah, I mean, the show it just spot on because

the page was like, I hear it's a little dark. Like I don't think you're going to like it. I was like, no, no, no, because it's based on the restaurant industry. I will because I can relate to all of it. I mean, I was never on a line, but we were still with people on the line every day and near the inner workings. And I was like, I'm going to really enjoy this show. And I did.

I mean, she's not wrong in the sense that it's definitely dark, but I feel like when you are working in a pressure cooker of a restaurant where you are moving and grooving like it kind of it, like I have worked with many.

For lack of better words, like troubled people, right, where it's like they get off and they're like, can I get three shots of James and please and like a Jameson and Coke. And that is like their order as soon as they got off work because it just were moving and grooving and hustling so much and then you get off and boom. And so you just see so many people that work in the restaurant industry that do have like a problem with.

You know, substances, which is literally the backbone of that show. And I feel like one of the general themes is that it's it's okay to ask for help.

Yeah, but it is, but the show's not about that, which is good.

Like it's not underlined, but no, that it's a big part of the show, but it's not just about that. And for people out there listening, you know my kind of brawmater for dark shows that they have to be balanced.

Like I hated the meth show breaking bad hated it.

A freezing cold take, but okay. Yeah, this show is not like that. I cannot wait for season two. I put it on the ending was such a hook. Was it not?

Yeah, it was great. It was beautiful. It was beautifully done. Here's what a thing I really loved about the bear, which there's going to be a lot of them.

It wasn't over dramatized like current reality TV. So it wasn't like if there was a dispute in the kitchen, it was solved like it would have in real life and not drug the fuck on.

Like someone would say sorry, and it would be over or like that one line chef that was like being a bitch for a little while.

Like as soon as it was over, it was over. There was no like continual sabotage like it wasn't like producers were on set being like sure we need more.

We need more instead. They were just like, all right, I'm willing to move on if you are. And I was like, I love this. We had conflict. We move on.
