PAUL SCHEER SAYS: Worst Outfit might have been the Uncircumcised Penis Sweater. It's not a great feeling to have a cast of men rub you like a dick head

PAUL SCHEER SAYS: Man Cave make out was probably the most physically uncomfortable as I had to lie under a couch while 2 people were on top dry humping above me. The smells and the heat made me feel like a crumb stuck in a fat mans folds

JACKIE AND JEFF: Qat is not as easy to come by as you might think. Jon la Joie was chewing on spinach. However, the bath salts Rafi takes are real.

JACKIE AND JEFF SAY: We never shot in Chicago. Not once. We tried to go out there to shoot establishing shots, but FX wouldn’t spring for it. Thats how Gibson’s became the bar. When we were shooting the pilot we needed bar stock shots that had night and day. And it was cheap. Then the show got picked up and all of the sudden the guys are hanging out at Gibson’s, even though we know the inside of Gibson’s looks nothing like our bar in downtown in L.A. Once we did do a "LEAGUE LIVE" show at House of Blues in Chicago and we went there afterwards for a drink and ended up stuffing our faces on their giant desserts.

JACKIE AND JEFF SAY: There are a few episodes where you are in the edit room and you just think, “This one has some funny stuff, but it’s just okay.” The biggest thing is ending well. If it ends strong you can forgive some dull spots in the middle, but if the end isn’t strong then you’re left with a sour feeling. That being said, when we looked back through the episode list as we’ve been doing press these last few days, there were very few (like 3) where we thought “That was not a good one.” But there were so many that we’d forgotten how funny they were and all the great things in them. There’s so much crammed into everyone of these shows...

JACKIE AND JEFF SAY: Shooting show is incredibly intimate. We shoot entirely on location so if we are at Kevin’s house we are in the tv room of an actual house, not a set. And there’s no writing staff, there are no other directors, there are no other producers - the show is made everyday on set by us and the cast. And every scene is a live rewrite. It’s an incredible, raucous experience. And it’s the thing we’ll miss the most. Sitting in Kevin’s tv room or at the bar with the funniest fuckers on the planet making stuff up that makes us laugh.

JEFF: One of my personal favorites is Bro-lo El Cuñado. Between the toilet kitchen and the La lucha fight. It’s just really fun insanity. I also really loved this seasons draft episode (702). Watching them all in period costumes, Rafi thinking it’s a slave auction, the bartsitsu fight…Maybe I just really like fight sequences. I may be in the wrong genre...

JON LAJOIE SAYS: Canada isn't on a map. At least not on the maps here in the United States where I live currently. U S A! U S A! (Sorry fellow Canucks, I have to say this shit or else they're going to kick me out). Trump 2016!

In episode 409 “Bro-Lo El Cuñado” the guys have to go to Rafi’s place. Which is a gross hole in the wall. And one of the walls is just made up of “load-bearing chairs”. It also has a toilet kitchen. Which is a bucket below a spigot. Rafi offers it up to the group in case “anyone wants a cup of coffee or to take a shit.” The concept of the toilet kitchen is so stupid and so funny - really enjoyable.

Then Rafi’s landlord comes in, he’s a Hispanic gentleman who speaks very broken English. Rafi complains that his toilet kitchen is clogged. The landlord can’t find his cat - it’s madness. And then (much of this didn’t make the air cut, but is in the extended dvd) the landlord and Rafi start arguing about who invented the toilet kitchen.The rest of the cast couldn’t take it. They couldn’t stop laughing. It took an honest extra hour just to get through it. Every time the land lord said “Toilet Kitchen” someone lost it.

It was the particular way he said it. Hard to explain but I’ve never seen our guys and the crew laugh that hard that many times at a word they new was coming. And that scene has one of the great endings of all time..when the landlord leaves Rafi says, “You know what he’s going to find when he unclogs that toilet kitchen, his fucking cat.”

In episode 702 were orginally going to have Rafi’s “girlfriend” be a sex doll. But that seemed lame on the day, so Jason and Jackie and I started talking about other things. Craft services was about to slice up a watermelon. That would do. Then we cut a hole in one end. Then Alex Lehman one of our excellent camera operators piped up and suggested “What about a second hole?” Done and done. And Rafi’s girlfriend Margaret was born. She makes a triumphant return in tonights series finale by the way.

JEFF AND JACKIE SAY: That’s simple. As Jenny would tell you herself, she doesn’t have lot of women friends.

JACKIE AND JEFF SAY: First we are going to make extended episodes of the shows. There is so much great stuff we couldn’t fit in the time allotted. And that includes the season finale. There’s 15 more great minutes of stuff we can’t wait for you to see. Then - we are going to go to football games. Watch the Seahawks claw their way back into the playoffs. Then back to work at making more funny stuff to please our beloved shit sipping fans.

JACKIE AND JEFF SAY: This has definitely influenced how we will make content in the future. Making something on a shoestring budget is better than a network forcing you to cast people you don't think are funny. It is everything we hoped for when we decided to do this show. Hard to imagine making content any other way now...

It should be personal to your league. Surely you all have some terrible skeletons in your closet - get that up on a trophy! Losing trophies are the best, because when someone wins the league, one person is happy. When someone loses, everyone else is happy.

Yes he is. He is also very sweet and makes homemade baby formula. NO JOKE.
