Welcome to the Prestige TV podcast. I am Rob Mahoney, and I come to your feet today with

0:23.2

great news because we are going to be talking about the thrilling first season of the chair

0:28.1

company and a truly strange season finale on top of it. And at the risk of violating my own

0:34.1

personal NDA, I have brought in the perfect co-host, the Wendy of Wendy's Carvers herself is Jody Walker. Jody, how are you? I'm actually going to have to end the podcast because you're not allowed to talk about that. You've broken my boundaries. I don't trust you anymore. I'm so sorry. Look, it was right there for the taking. How could I simply refuse it? And you know, you came in with a perfect joke. I meant to come in with some prop comedy.

I was going to wear a green bracelet to say that I was down to make mistakes.

1:00.1

But I've actually worn a red shirt, which I guess means like no mistakes.

1:43.9

What has your experience been with the show and just kind of like the day-to-day week-to-week experience of watching it? I truly, I was like, I'm getting on this pod to talk with Rob. I'm so excited. And I was like, what are you going to say about how you feel about this show? And the only thing that I could think was like, Rob, I love this show.

Like, I have so much fun watching it.

2:09.6

You know, I covered the rehearsal with Charles on prestige TV.
