Yea. I was under the impression that he was an asshole because of a Saturday night live story which basically goes: one of his managers/publicist/friend/ whoever it was they were with him when he hosted SNL and said something to the effect of an invention of his he called "matt speak", which was just the way his character in friends would talk. Norm Macdonald replies with "sarcasm, you mean sarcasm. He invented sarcasm." Something like that. So I thought he was a stuck up asshole. Turns out he was struggling and probably didn't mean what he said and completely forgot about it right away.

We were outside getting into a limo and Matthew Perry and this haggard looking girl (turns out it was Rachel Hunter!) wanted the same limo and my friend Alex and Matthew almost got into a macho fist fight over whose limo it was (it really was Alex's.) That's all I remember sorry

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

Bill, let me rephrase what the woman was trying to get across. Throughout the history of modern Quatar, the death rate among the worker class when constructing these large projects is 5x higher than most other places in the world. There are zero safety regulations, workers are paid substandard wages, their visas are held hostage until they complete the work, treated as sub human compared to Qatari citizens. Quatar also treats women as property, has medieval laws regarding how women can dress, there is no freedom of speech or any of the basic freedoms most humans enjoy.

[@GoGreen1977]

I spent two weeks in Qatar about 10 years ago. Women, at the time, had many more rights than women in other Middle Eastern countries. They could drive, vote, and run for office. Many attended college, in Qatar and in other countries, and worked out of the home. Most didn't cover their faces and, I was told, many women didn't wear the burqas, but that wasn't apparent because they blended in with the women from other countries who live/work there. As an American woman, visiting Qater on official business, I just wore my regular work clothes. After hours, I didn't wear short shorts or tank tops, but otherwise, again, I wore what I wanted. I'm not saying women had equal rights with men, but women weren't hidden away and subjected to harsh restrictions. Maybe the laws have changed....

[@bbirda1287]

@@GoGreen1977 Third country nationals, the ones who do all the physical labor in the heat, are subject to a totally different environment than western people. More than 10 years ago, their passports were seized when they arrived in country and they were forbidden to leave until their work contracts were complete. They have to get loans for their recruiting agencies in their home countries, and they aren't reimbursed or sometimes paid at all by the construction companies. The facade they show to westerners is a world apart from the day laborers, on the Newhour today they talk about how they were fed rotten fish that made them sick for meals, and are still owed their pay months after they have returned to their home countries.

Trump and DeSantis are not fighting. It's just a small riff but they'll get over it like Big Mike does with Barry oh opps sorry, Barack Barry Soretero Obama.

[@jlobiafra]

Trump will self destruct in the debate like he did with Biden. All DeSantis needs to do is keep calm and trump will come out looking like the whiny little bitch that he is

[@BishopWalters12]

DeSantis will be the next President.

I would just like to state : FOR THE RECORD Almost Heroes IS LITERALLY the number 1 LOVED MOVIE in my family. We have collectively seen it SEVERAL HUNDRED times. We watch it on EVERY single holiday! We loved you in that Matt! Loved and Miss Chris too!!!!

[@NotIfICU1st_]

My friends and I quote it constantly. Chris's wheeze when he falls from the nest and hits a branch used to be my text message notification sound

Why are they talking about Qatar when they seemingly know nothing about it?! Bill basically laughing off the working conditions, in particular the report of over 1000 deaths, is gross.

[@davidgraham8058]

The reports of 15,000, 6,500 or 1,000 deaths of people working on construction sites is so misleading it is frankly fake news. These various figures are based on the total number of migrant deaths in Qatar regardless of cause since Qatar was given the World Cup 10 years ago. There’s zero evidence that they all worked on construction sites for the World Cup or that their death was related to the World Cup in any way. It seems to be a myth perpetuated by Amnesty International and the Guardian.

[@moonflower48]

Especially when the estimate is 6500

[@davidgraham8058]

@@moonflower48 That’s not the number of deaths on construction sites or workers on the World Cup. That’s the total deaths of all migrants in Qatar in the last 10 years. It includes all deaths regardless of where people worked or the cause of death. It’s genuine fake news.

Great overtime Bill! Rooting for you buddy👊😊

[@bryanharayda1975]

Bill, love your show and I am gonna miss it during your break, but enjoy the break! Absolutely loved seeing Matthew Perry’s quick wit, I’m looking forward to seeing his work in the future!

[@DB-dw5gz]

I could listen to this kind of conversation for hours. So fascinating!

[@crism6204]

Matthew Perry. Love seeing you and have always loved your talent. Canada in the 80s was the best!

[@mrplatink]

I love it when Bill has such a giggle 🤣

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

So glad to see Matthew Perry doing so well.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐💗I am wondering if he still has the production company he so aptly named: Anhedonia? That is one of my very favorite words. It is so truly apt, in so many situations, wherein someone says, “hey! How ya doin’? How ya feelin’?” Or, “Havin’ a good time?” For me, it relates not only to a state of depression, preventing one from enjoying anything, it is the feeling I had at every “family” gathering, without fail. It is the feeling I have had almost every day, of every year, being trapped, in texas. I try so hard, but everything here is terrible. The best I can do is, “Meh.”

[@santanacaipirinha9536]

I know just how you feel, except without the Texas part. Commiserations from across the Atlantic.

No one died making Mount Rushmore. The Internet has spoken.

[@kennethzbinden4714]

What a episode ! I will save and watch many times what a perfect platform . Can a show get a Emmy?

[@SpacemanXC]

Almost Heroes is one of the most under rated comedies of all time.

[@truckguy8613]

I completely agree.
