9. Men's room candor
I'm not sure how to take his reply.

It was arch, but based solely on my own observations of movie and TV cliches, I think the makers of the show may have been sincere.

Whenever an exchange like this takes place in a men's room, especially with at least one of the participants standing at a urinal, it always reads to me like the men's room is being treated with the sanctity of a confessional, and no lies are told there. The men are treated by the filmmaker as if they're at their most candid and unguarded.

Note to O'Reilly: If you want your show to be viewed as a "no-spin zone", perhaps a new set design is in order.
