Jim finding apartments for his crew members is actually a really cool and sweet thing to do

Is that the same James Frawley that was involved with the Monkees tv show?

12:00 I’ve always loved that about Kermit, it’s like real people. They behave calmer near kids and his real self lets out in mature settings. Different behavior for different situations. I’ve always thought of it like Kermit being more family friendly in his job on a kids show, and outside of that he lets more loose.

I think I've watched this four or five times. I used to listen to it on the bus to work, years ago. Kevin is one of the few timeless YouTubers. I've had him in the arsenal since before the pandemic. Like 2018 or 2019 lol. 8 years or so. Since the Nick Hotel interview.

Look forward to watching a video titled "The Return of the Muppet Show", detailing every attempt to revitalize the Muppets, culminating in… Seth Rogen?
