![]() ![]() But now, the show is like its own photo negative, where you’re rooting for the people who were set up to be the foils back then. This is how prevalent those archetypes were. Which itself is probably a coping mechanism for being the only chick in a bar.Īnd being a single mother, she had to exist in a rougher environment. So now you can’t have any relationships with women at all that don’t involve sex!” Except for Carla, but only because she is more sexist and dude-like than anybody else in the bar. You were molested by a trusted adult when you were 11, but because of this toxic masculinity idea of ‘boys will be boys’ or whatever, you can’t admit that. That moment when Sam tells everyone about the first time he had sex, Frasier should have turned around and immediately had a eureka moment. Those are the types of things where I can watch the show and I can see the time it was made. And all the other guys are like “Ohhohohoh, you dog!” like Sam was a real charming 11-year-old. And then Sam mentions that he was in the sixth grade, and it was with the school crossing guard. Norm makes mention that it was a few weeks after he got married. Cliff is looking forward to it, it hasn’t happened yet. I saw an episode where they throw Frasier a bachelor party, and they all start talking about the first time they ever had sex. I won’t beat around the bush on any of it. There’s a lot in Cheers that is terrible. Oh my God, you’re talking about the one where it’s “hilarious” that her new boss was really short? There’s a lot in that one that’s pretty…there’s a lot. And we’re kind of supposed to be on the men’s side and think that she’s something of a shrew for not fucking either of them. ![]() I was watching some Cheers in preparation for this interview, and I happened to put on an episode where Kirstie Alley starts the episode by getting hit on by Sam, then goes to meet her new boss who immediately propositions her for sex too. ![]() This was my awkward segue into talking about Cheers. The book can’t evolve but the person should. It’s dumb to clean that up and make what seems to be a fairly accurate description of what people were like when that book was written, and turn it into what? Today? But if Mark Twain was still alive, and just talked like that… I can at the same time think that Huckleberry Finn is great and Mark Twain is a piece of shit. We would all agree that that seems dumb, and pointless, and is actually doing a disservice to progress. You can’t go back, although, didn’t they go back and edit Huckleberry Finn?Īnd that seems dumb. Well definitely you can have more patience, because a movie is timestamped. It’s not the fucking 1600s.ĭo you have more patience for movies and TV shows that are from a different time, speaking for that time? I don’t care if they don’t have internet or cell phone service or whatever. Are they from now? Then get the fuck with it. Don’t look at where they’re from, look at when they’re from. You’re not one of those people who is like “Look at where they’re from!” and make allowances like that? And as far as having family members who think like that, it’s embarrassing. I’m not friends with any of those people anymore. What is it like having friends, acquaintances, or even family members who have very divergent political opinions from you? Cincinnati is the same way, surrounded by northern Kentucky and southern Ohio, which are very red. They make me feel young.īloomington is interesting, because it’s a small liberal college town in the middle of Trump-land Indiana. Plus, all the kids in Bloomington seem pretty cool. A lot of clubs, they’ve all been there for 25 years, and they all seem bored. He hasn’t done it for so long that he’s bored with it, he’s not over it, he doesn’t overextend himself with bookings either. It just feels like Jared is a fan of comedy. If I had to make a tape or something, I would probably go to Bloomington. I honestly don’t do much comedy in Cincinnati. You live in Cincinnati, but we met in Bloomington, Indiana. His latest album, People Are What People Make ‘Em, is out now on Blonde Medicine. Tate has appeared on The Late Late Show and tours regularly with premiere comedy Dougs, Benson and Stanhope. In his three previous standup albums, Tate has carved out a niche as a cranky, thoughtful dude with a deep, abiding love for the television show Cheers. He is the “winningest player in the show’s history,” according to the podcast’s extensive fan wiki.
