"It is so good to see you, John what the hell." These guys have the greatest timing lol

Great editing

"Close outta that one!"

That bit was great!

Yeah, the "John, what the hell" through his teeth was great.

....they're all escalation, it is their signature style

[@aaronsmith7946]

@@nickc9070 Kind of you to clarify in such a sweet way. LOL. Though, he also could have meant "for me," where if you think the way they all really say they do their job to "make people laugh," or "make people happy," and would say in a way, they would suggest that what they are doing is intended for every single viewer individually as well as collectively. So this language thing we use, it can be manipulated in any way my man, any way... ...and I am not sure what the hell my point is. Except for the fact that I realize now I have become party to this manipulation in sharing this message and I can stop as I am still typing it but then, why have I not? Is fate deciding when I stop or am I? OK yeah I been smoking weed, fair admission.

[@MrHoly2fight]

Rule of thumb, never talk smack about a person's ex if they're going to magically teleport into the room. Also if their dad is able to track you from a zoom call and beat you while a soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese film plays in the background

[@miss.l.1563]

[@malindarayallen]

These are the lessons we should have learned in school.

I like that Sarah is the honorary fourth member of the PDD. Her chemistry is just right for them. And let's have a June episode so we can get that father in for Father's Day.

I think my favorite joke in this one is how Ben just randomly switches to being on everyone else's side and they're all just mad at Martin. I think Ben might be my favorite PDD member, his line delivery is just perfect for these sketches.
