This show sounds fantastic, but isn't this based on the "John It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing. Rocker" story.

Danny McBride reminds me too much of 'Wild Thing' Mitch Williams, former relief pitcher for the Phillies who gave up the World Series winning home run to Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1993 World Series. He has the same demeanor and look. Mitch was immediately villified by Phillie fans unceasingly and traveled from team to team after that, very similar to what Danny experiences on the show. Also, Katy Mixon is a babe.
