SHOW NOTES:

• We talk briefly about kid’s shows, including We Bare Bears, Apple & Onion and Hey Duggee. 
• In Apple & Onion, Richard Ayoade plays Onion. He and his best friend Apple live in an apartment and deal with various problems. Everyone they know is food. It's strange because their friend Falafel has ground onions inside of him and they never mention it. It's like Pixar's Cars where it's best not to think about it too much. Here's some examples of the rules of anthropomorphic food on the show.
• Sitcoms discussed in this episode include Cheers, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, The IT Crowd and Peepshow. Phil also brings up That Mitchell & Webb Look, which isn’t sit but is com.
• We were right in assuming Kelsey Grammer hung out with Robin Williams. It turns out they were roommates at Julliard. It's possible they may have used cocaine together.
• Here’s the article Beth mentions about Grammer’s problematic politics putting the Frasier reboot at risk.
• When Jake says the character of Daphne Moon reminds him of Cathy, this is what he's talking about.
• There's some talk of how Julia-Louis Dreyfus / Elaine changed throughout the course of Seinfeld. It's possible when Phil said this what really was happening was that he himself was growing into manhood and began to look at JLD differently.
• Here’s some fish-throwing at Pike Place Market.
• Our Black Frasier discussion includes the one on 30 Rock as well as Phoebe Robinson podcast.
• Eirinie doesn’t think Choppin’ Broccoli is funny but Jake still does.
• Here’s Monica Bellucci in a latex dress from The Matrix movies. She wears more than one so here's a video of all Monica Bellucci content from those films, compiled by someone operating with one hand.
• Most of Jake & Beth’s research on the royal family was done by watching The Crown on Netflix. Jake also listened to the Prince Harry interview on Dax Sheppard’s podcast.
• Fast fashion retailers discussed include H&M, UNIQLO, Target and Old Navy. They’re all doing okay so we didn’t provide links.
