]]> 3106 My Boys Rewatch: “Mixed Signals” (Episode 2) | Behind the Scenes + Wild Stories Welcome back to Who Needs? — A My Boys Rewatch, with Jamie Kaler (Mike Callahan) and Michael Bunin (Kenny Moratori). In Episode 2, “Mixed Signals,” the guys break down how early My Boys was still finding its voice — from the Sex and the City-style voiceover to the moment the show starts becoming its own thing. They talk behind-the-scenes reality: shooting the pilot, disappearing for months, then suddenly getting picked up and rushing into production with no writers’ room in place yet. You’ll hear stories about Crowley’s bar, poker nights, improv tags that snuck into takes, and how “dating” used to mean going home to check your email (yes, really). The episode also turns heartfelt as they remember and toast Pat Finn — a beloved performer, friend, and one of the funniest, kindest people in the room.
