About this listen
Two married hosts build a practical rubric for “bedtime sitcoms” and re-rank favorites by sleepability, then dive into a Bee Gees classic about a death-row plea, complete with key changes, Mellotron lore, and unexpected cover ideas. Along the way we hit Vonnegut satire, Oliver Stone’s JFK, and guitar-hero rabbit holes without losing the thread of comfort and closure.
• sleepability as the core rubric for pre-sleep TV
• why low-stakes stories beat cliffhangers at night
• 30 Rock as perfect palate cleanser, Office as high cringe-tax
• Parks and Rec’s finale as the most satisfying wrap
• Always Sunny as dark but oddly sleep-friendly
• Modern Family’s “white-lie pyramid” problem
• Letterkenny’s dialogue engine and fight-and-heart balance
• quick hits: Alice in Chains Unplugged, Roots vs Lauryn Hill
• JFK’s cast spectacle and scenes that unsettle
• Bee Gees songwriting, Mellotron textures, and key-change urgency
• arranging and performing Gotta Get A Message To You
• who should cover it next and why it works across genres
