What is the main topic of the podcast 'I Need You Guys'?
Hey Smarties, Sean Hayes here, and I can't wait to tell you all about the new show from everybody here at Smart List Media. It's called I Need You Guys, and it stars Jenny Slate, Gabe Liedman, and Max Silvestri. Oh my gosh, they're all hilarious people. Jenny, Gabe, and Max are well-established actors and writers, but they've also been best friends for over 20 years, and now that they live in different cities and have kids and responsibilities, they need each other more than ever. Get it? This show is like their group chat come to life. You get to eavesdrop as they ask each other for advice on existing in the world, remember crazy dinner parties they threw in their 20s, and make lots and lots of Jurassic Park jokes.
Plus, every episode, they'll welcome a special guest into the group, people like Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Michelle Buteau, Kate Berlant, and many more, including... me. I'm going to play you my segment from this week's episode. We spent a lot of time goofing around and just maybe a little bit of time answering a listener question. This show is a ton of fun.
How do Jenny, Gabe, and Max navigate their long-term friendship?

Oh. You guys, this is so exciting. You're the best. Can we just say that?
You are the best.
Well, great. And that's all our time. That's all I have to tell you. Our time is over.
That's a wrap.
Sean, I don't know if you remember this, but we, me, you, and Gabe were working together on Q-Force in March 2020. Beautiful time in history. I don't know if you remember this. A powerful month. But I remember right before we had to go remote to make the show over some app called Zoom we'd never heard of, you were setting up this like mic setup i think in this room and you're like i'm about to start this podcast with friends and we're setting it up so we don't have to be in the same space and i was like what are you wasting time on this for brother we're making an animated show for netflix you don't need to do this podcast buddy you're doing fine i know i
I know it really was. Miss Marlis was just born out of the like you guys. It's like we've been friends for 20, 25 years, something like that. And we're just like, we can't go anywhere. So let's just do this and hang out.
What humorous anecdotes do they share about past experiences?
And they were like, oh, well, let's instead of zooming and hanging out, let's do a podcast and hang out. Yeah. And then two people listen and then 10. And then it's like, well, a ball, some shampoo. Anybody?
Yeah.
Do you remember that? Do you remember those commercials? I told, they told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so on. It's an old commercial from the 1970s. It's shampoo, it's shampoo, it's shampoo.
How do they handle unexpected attention from social media?
You know what commercial from the 80s literally made me want to eat the soap and still when I think about it.
Oh, I know exactly the one.
What do you think it was?
Mr. Bubble?
No.
Irish Spring.
Oh my God.
Wait, why?
It just seems so good.
It looks good. Do you remember the commercial for gleam toothpaste?
No.
Do you remember gleam? And she held it upside down. She's like megal. And it's like, no gleam. Right. And then she, and then she licked her lips and she's like, it was so gross.
But I was like, I'll try it. That's an artistic commercial.
What etiquette advice do they discuss regarding personal dilemmas?
I wish there was more stuff like that where they read it wrong. And then they're more playful with how reading upside down works, which actually doesn't reverse the letters.
Right. And we shoot it in the back of an ambulance because everything's backwards. On the front of an ambulance.
Well, one thing I was going to say is, so one of the things that I think is one of the cutest things about Gabe when he was a little boy. Actually, Gabe, I thought about you yesterday because my daughter was like, why don't I take the school bus? We live like four blocks from her school. I was like, I don't know. I can't even explain this to you right now. You're four. But you don't need to.
You don't need to. A bus is like a big car, Sean, that takes kids to school. But it can be for other stuff.
