Matt: What would be a good name for a Matthew Perry character?
Erin: Hmmmmm.
Matt: It can only be Matt, I would argue.
Erin: Carl.
Matt: CARL?
Erin: Yup.
Matt: Bullshit!
Erin: Why is it bullshit?
Matt: Because Carls are, like, overweight police officers who are black.
Erin: You are sooooooooooo wrong.
Erin: Carls are middle-aged middle-class white guys who hate their jobs.
Matt: Name some famous Carls!
Erin: Oh. Hmm.
Erin: I can’t.
Erin: Fine.
Matt: So a Carl could never be an award-winning comedy writer.
Erin: What about Joel?
Matt: Joel.
Matt: I guess that could work.
Erin: It could!
Erin: Or Jack?
Matt: Jack is more of a tough guy name. There’s no comedy there.
Erin: Wait.
Matt: What?
Erin: That science guy was a Carl.
Matt: Which science guy?
Erin: SAGAN
Erin: He was brilliant.
