russell with facial hair god damn😍

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

Delta Fox Personally, facial hair can be too scratchy or tickly, and sometimes it just isn't pulled off right, and you do have to remember some people prefer cute over hot, and people with beards are often considered hot and clean shaven people are often considered cute, and some people like cute over hot and vice versa.

[@alexanderrose1071]

Is Reggie Watts Sound-Bob Ross?

[@wonky_shoebox7514]

The reason for the cat mind-contril theory is that cats have this parasite in their poo that causes rodents to lose their fear of felines, and apparently it works on humans too. Or so they say.

[@The_Holier_Spirit]

Can't work on humans, I'm shit scared of my cat when she's angry.

[@jumpirrexbankai2375]

Fun fact, sometimes cats can carry a parasite that can affect mice and humans which is why some people say "they mind control us" when in reality the extent of their mind control is just meowing and purring since meowing is only a think that kittens use to communicate and is only ever used to manipulate people outside of that. Lol but tbf cats are so cute so its a smart move on their part XD

No mention in the show, but wasn't Reggie Watts already the Late Late Show band leader when this aired? James Corden's been the host for just over 8 years now (July 2022) and I feel fairly sure Reggie was there from he beginning althuogh he may not have had quite as much of a prominent part in LLS as he does now. Some seriously offbeat humour there.
