This week we have...Yep, it's us again, Mike and Bill. And buckle up, because we had a lot to talk about.Mike started out with his reading and it was about letting go and hanging on. Which is better and which is worse? Could they be interchangeable? It was a great topic and we had a good conversation. Then we had a brief conversation about John Candy. There is a documentary out now about his life and we are both fans. We don't know if he was an alcoholic or if maybe he just had addictive tendencies, but he acted a lot like one of us.Next was some fairly big news. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, Bill had a "cardiac event," and we just call it what it was. A heart attack. It's not really a joking matter, but of course we found some humor in it. It's what we do. We also told the whole story. What happened, the possible why behind it and what could he have done differently.Oh, and spoiler alert. He lived.Enjoy the episode.

Today, the guys discuss John Candy and the recent documentary about his life, ‘I Like Me' (3:31). The guys start off by discussing when they first saw John Candy on screen (spoiler: it was Splash). They discuss Candy's early start on SCTV and then they go over his films and screen performances (Ali also berates Asif for not watching as many John Candy movies). They then discuss the documentary on his life ‘I Like Me' and give their thoughts, as well as their responses to reviews on the movie. Then since Candy died in his 40's from a heart attack (and his father died in his 30's from a heart attack as well), in the second half the guys discuss myocardial infarctions (MI's) (27:40). Asif talks about the definition as well as how common MI's are. He then goes over the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for MI's. Ali asks Asif about the symptoms of a heart attack as well as how it is diagnosed and treated. Finally, he goes over the prognosis as well as lifestyle changes that people should undertake after having an MI.

TVC 712.5: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Paul Myers, author of John Candy: A Life in Comedy, a heartwarming portrait of the beloved actor, improv comedian, and box office star who, had he lived, would have turned seventy-five on Oct. 31, 2025. Topics this segment include how Candy and his fellow cast members of SCTV all embodied the spirit and philosophy of Second City, a "model society for improv" in which all actors sees themselves as talented peers who could help make each other better; why Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty are the two linchpins behind the story Paul tells in John Candy: A Life in Comedy; and Candy had an unerring knack for always making choices in comedy that he knew were both real and right. John Candy: A Life in Comedy is available wherever books are sold through House of Anansi Books, as well as Amazon.com.

TVC 712.6: Paul Myers, author of John Candy: A Life in Comedy, talks to Ed about two instances in the film career of John Candy in which art imitated life—the scene in Stripes in which Candy's character, Dewey Oxburger, reveals his motivation for joining the Army; and Dell Griffith's "I like me" speech in Plains, Trains, and Automobiles—and how the latter particularly illustrates how director John Hughes understood who Candy was as a person like few others. John Candy: A Life in Comedy is available wherever books are sold through House of Anansi Books, as well as Amazon.com. Paul Myers has several appearances in both the U.S. and Canada over the next several weeks. For details on these and other upcoming events, go to Houseof Anansi.com and type in John Candy A Life in Comedy Book Tour

Bob and Rob Grabowski return to The Analysis to talk funny — diving deep into two documentaries that celebrate the architects of laughter: Colin Hanks' “I Like Me” (on John Candy) and Fred Armisen's “Downey Wrote That” (on longtime SNL head writer Jim Downey). From Candy's mix of heart and heartbreak to Downey's sharp political wit, the episode unpacks how these two legends shaped the DNA of modern comedy. Expect reflections on Planes, Trains & Automobiles, the “I like me” speech, improv at Second City, SNL lore, and even Norm Macdonald's Weekend Update rebellion. It's a nostalgic, bittersweet ride through laughter, legacy, and what it means to be funny and human at the same time.

From Planes Trains and Automobiles to Uncle Buck to that unforgettable racquetball scene in Splash John Candy made us laugh till we cried

Then, we share our Top 5 most disturbing AI horror films. Stories that blur the line between human control and technological terror. In a creative twist, we debut a batch of original AI-generated horror concepts. Nightmarish tales like The Night Archivist, Static, and Insert Coin to Die, before challenging each other in a creepy guessing game of famous horror films. Between the mysterious AI hijacks, distorted sound clips, and tongue-in-cheek scares, this one's a digital screamfest from start to finish.
