Picking Nits
The brothers needed a couple more minutes of backstory on becoming employed and living on their own; the cops would be called to that house far more often; the Catalina Island scenes are visibly shot on the Malibu and Laguna Beach cliffs, which is called intentional rather than a nit

- The only nit for one host is needing two more minutes of backstory on both brothers becoming successfully employed and living on their own; another liked those beats, basically Ferrell discovering mid-dump that he should buy Charmin; a further nit is that the cops would be called to that house more often given all the late-night noise.
- A prequel hypothetical, Brennan and Dale at ages 21 to 35 before they met, finds no answer: no twenty-year-olds are funny like that, Michael Cera would just be different, and it would be better to see known dramatic actors like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron try it; turning Stranger Things season 3 into a Step Brothers prequel is joked about, and a Cobra Kai style ten-years-later movie is preferred by one host.
- Not counted as a nit because it is funny and intentional: having lived in Southern California, a host finds it hilarious that the Catalina Island material is clearly shot on the cliffs of Malibu and Laguna Beach, which look nothing like Catalina; another suspects they could not get a permit to shoot on Catalina.
