Verbosity Was Always Our Vice

The Truu Stowray Scouting Combine

Mike and Dave alight onto Seattle, where 14,000 applicants are whittled down to 7 Real World housemates (and 6 Road Rules Winnebagopeople). Along the way: a shocking announcement direct from David Burns, a megadose of third-wave ska, a third book idea for Mike, and a definitive answer as to whether Jimmy Ray is Jimmy Ray. (He is.) This is the last of our episode ones, get ready to vote on which season we should watch and yell about in its entirety.

An American Dressing In London

Dave and Mike fulfill their promise to rewatch episode one of The Real World: San Francisco, and do everything they can not to talk about it. Along the way: '90s funk-rock bands, the first "bling bling" sighting, Dream, mom jeans, flowy dresses, temp tracks, and college conservatives. Please don't make them keep watching this.

Bipped Out On A Streetcar

Jon Brennan

As they promised, Mike and Dave are sampling episodes one from Real World seasons 2, 3 and 4, and then leaving it up to you to tell them which season to keep watching. Season 2 begins with a reunion of season 1 where they speculate about season 2, so they had to watch episodes 1 and 2 to get into season 2, but they did it. It's called "dedication," heard of it? SO: join them as they address Heather's friend fixing to turn Norman out, Eric's lead singer disease, Andre's band girlfriend, and THEN the real start of season two with Dominic and Tami in a Winnebago, Jon attempting to boot-scoot, Irish drinking, bad attitudes, and worse houses. Season 2 of The Real World is available WITH THE ORIGINAL MUSIC on Paramount+ if you want to follow along.
