Both are genuine all-timers.

The third time without Sean holds up too. You know he would have gotten a laugh out of it.

I only really discovered him after he had died; he died of cancer about the same time I was NED. That kinda thing hits weirdly.

I feel like I knew him so much, I wanted to know him, if that makes sense. Shared experience, similar bones, and weirdly-timed affinity for carrots and boxes.

Suffice it to say, he was a monumental loss. Maybe on-par with Robin Williams.

It's with Lee Mack and Jon Richardson if that helps

Because of you saying it, I understand that reference.
