Starting in 2004, Randy and Jason appeared on Cheap Seats, on which they played fictitious ESPN research assistants who end up hosting a comedy show as they comment on odd and notable sporting events from ESPN's extensive library.

Cheap Seats borrowed its format from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The special then premiered on Netflix on April 25, 2014 and the CD/DVD dropped on iTunes on April 29, 2014.

The brothers uniquely framed their special as if it were an NFL playoff game with Rich Eisen leading a roundtable discussion of the brothers' comedy on an NFL Network set, along with future Hall of Fame defensive lineman Dwight Freeney, NY Giants defensive back Terrell Thomas, and actor and former Georgia Bulldog football player Omar Dorsey.

In addition, the ubiquitous sideline reporter Bonnie Bernstein makes a cameo, interviewing the brothers pre- and post-show.

The stand up special features a pre-game breakdown by this crew, a halftime report, and a post game wrap up.

The stand up special titled What Are We Talking About was available on Netflix instant streaming for three years after the April 25, 2014 premiere.
