Robert Evans

Instead of solving his insecurities, this transformation reinforced them.

He remained physically unimposing, ill-suited for sports, and deeply self-conscious about his appearance and masculinity.

As an adult, he would always joke that, like, when they were picking sports teams, that he was, he wanted to be the manager.

I'm the manager of the team today, you know?

Like, right from, because he's like, I'm not going to play sports.

It's ridiculous.

What a weird little guy.

When Phil was nine years old, his father, Benjamin Spector, died by suicide.

Ooh.

Yeah, we are gonna have some classic bastard-style empathy to start off our show today.

That's tough, that's tough.

He's having a difficult start of things, you know?

Yes, he's had it rough.

I'm sure this won't make him a monster.

Spoiler alert.

his dad killed himself so basically the story is his dad left the factory he was like a metal worker and he left the factory and started driving home and just parked a couple blocks away put a hose in his tailpipe and

started sucking on some carbon monoxide fumes in his car.

And they don't really even know why he did it.

He had financial stress, but... Decided he was done.

Yeah, it was the right time for that to be a normal thing.
