The boys reflect on the life and work of Matthew Perry and how comfort shows help even in the midst of sadness.

Jeff gets introspective about the power of comfort viewing during hard times. Josh it tentatively filled with excitement for the Texas Rangers (and he should be because they WON the series after we recorded). We also talk about a Creed reunion tour and the shelving of a Harry Potter movie series.
