    I honestly think that Seth green just explained more about Neal than he was even looking for. It’s almost like Neal was perplexed by Seth’s understanding of life and Neal was trying to extrapolate his life into his words. Put it this way, in a alternative world, a young Neal and Seth would be great friends in high school.

      I think that is actually part of Neal's motivation for the show. He is just trying to figure stuff out so he have some balance with a splash of contentment and happiness. I could be way but it seems like the show is much for him as teh guest or use the viewer.

      @@MTLV100I didn't get that vibe at all from him, he seemed to be very much in the camp of its a continuous project to make yourself better. He was just pointing out the things that he HAS figured out for himself based on Neal's questions with a few tangents which is 100% the ADHD kicking in and of course his admission of having a draw to being more performative because he has been doing that his whole life it is very much wrapped up in his identity.

    Am I the only person who was dying for him to drop an Entourage reference when he was the most despised cameo on the show? "Yo E!"

    Who else thinks that Rick and Morty reference at the end from Seth went completely over Neil's head? 😂 what a great episode!
