Episode 435 - S20E1 - Man Up

Matthew Reuter (0:05)

Hello, listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Law and Order Special Viewing Unit, the show where we view, review, and lovingly ridicule everyone's favorite and sort of sexy cop drama, Law and Order Special Victims Unit, every episode in a row from the beginning.

Aviv (0:18)

Season 20, baby.

Matthew Reuter (0:19)

I can't believe we are here. Finally, we've gotten to the three ways in- Out of nowhere, I-

Aviv (0:27)

I need out of the bathroom.

Matthew Reuter (0:28)

Well, out of the bathroom. I am your host, Matt Reuter, joining me as always.

One of the two women that wants either eggs or prosecco, or both or neither.

Aviv (0:39)

Or both or neither.

Matthew Reuter (0:41)

I don't really understand what's happening here. That's Aviv, your beside over there. How are you doing tonight, Aviv?

Aviv (0:47)

White people and rifles, don't ask me.

Matthew Reuter (0:50)

I mean, that's words to live by. Words of wisdom from season 20 of SVU.

Aviv (0:56)

Coming out strong, coming out strong, let me tell you.

Matthew Reuter (0:59)

I mean, look, anytime that guy from NipTuck shows up in something, shit is going to go horribly awry.

Aviv (1:07)

Who is that?

Matthew Reuter (1:08)

The dad.

Aviv (1:09)

Is the guy from NipTuck?

Matthew Reuter (1:10)

He's one of the two.

Aviv (1:12)

Doctors?

Matthew Reuter (1:13)

Yeah, one of the main two guys. He was also in that remake of The Stepfather.

Did you see it?

Aviv (1:21)

Based on his track record, don't want to see that.

Matthew Reuter (1:23)

Well, right. No, but I'm just saying, like, I've never seen it either. I know he's in it and I'm aware of the film. So it's like, yeah, of course he's good.

Aviv (1:30)

I thought that he met Stone at a square head convention.

Matthew Reuter (1:33)

Well, I mean, to be fair, he could have also met Stone in the Congo, in the film Congo, as he was the guy that was bringing Amy back to the Congo, with very, very different hair.

Aviv (1:46)

I feel like we've switched roles that you know about this entire actor's filmography, and I'm like, who the fuck is that?

Matthew Reuter (1:53)

Well, it's like a real Delroy Lindo situation with our listeners, like, who the fuck is Delroy Lindo? No, it's because I was-

Aviv (1:59)

More like a Jill Scott situation.

Matthew Reuter (2:00)

Yeah, right. Because I was subjected to having to watch Nip Tuck back in the day, and I was not a fan of it. Sister or girlfriend?

Girlfriend.

Aviv (2:13)

Oh.

Matthew Reuter (2:13)

Yeah. That was really into Nip Tuck. I very much was not, and just so much of that. I'm like, you know, it's just I-

And then every time I do-

Aviv (2:25)

That's Ryan Murphy, right?

Matthew Reuter (2:27)

I have no idea.

Aviv (2:28)

I think it is.

Matthew Reuter (2:28)

I didn't care for it, so I didn't care to find anything out more about it. I was trying to act- I was actively trying to get away from it, Aviv.

Aviv (2:35)

That's why you find out who made it. Two plastic surgeons, one a dedicated family man, and one an unscrupulous playboy, strive to maintain their business whilst having to work their way through numerous hardships ranging from personal to clients with criminal connections.

Matthew Reuter (2:54)

Yeah, I didn't care for it.

Aviv (2:56)

Was he the family man or the unscrupulous playboy?

Matthew Reuter (2:59)

He was the family man.

Aviv (3:01)

Oh, strike three, my guy.

It was a Ryan Murphy show. So that explains.

Matthew Reuter (3:10)

That actually shouldn't really surprise me, given the content of the show. But how are you doing this week, Aviv?

Aviv (3:20)

Oh, man. You know, the short version, bad. Oh, long version, bad.

No, no, it's fine. You know, the world is is on fire place.

Matthew Reuter (3:34)

Yeah.

Aviv (3:34)

And I can't wait to die.

I don't know if this is even frustrating. This is just something something I'm dealing with. Hey, let me tell you about my day. OK, I'm on the hunt for a new jacket. I have a denim trucker jacket that I wear a lot. OK, and then I have a leather jacket that has like lining, which is very warm.

Matthew Reuter (3:55)

That's way too thick for Los Angeles.

Aviv (3:58)

Exactly. And so I basically never wear it.

Matthew Reuter (4:01)

You just keep that for like whenever you're going back east.

Aviv (4:03)

Yeah, and it's like a nice, like it's a nice leather jacket.

Matthew Reuter (4:07)

Can I ask you why don't you just leave it? Well, I guess because you go, you don't just go back to your parents place.
