    How do you do, fellow zoomers? Travis and Tom bring on returning guest, Travis's wife Denise, to talk about FX's new comedy about young twentysomethings living in New York City (gee, this sounds familiar). Is this the voice of the current generation? Is this the next Friends? Is it even good??? Or is this just another item in the streaming pile? And coming up - what's wrong with TV today and other wild topics!
