Another segment called "Barry's Thoughts" features Sobel delivering absurd monologues on topics like the benefits of wearing a cape in public.

Despite the show's short runtime, the production values are high, with each episode featuring slick graphics and music. The guests are always dressed in stylish outfits, and the set is brightly lit and colorful.
