[00:00:00] the

[00:00:07] ten to one podcast with your host brad omen

[00:00:12] featuring ben conwards and nadelocks

[00:00:17] and here's the podcast

[00:00:20] say guys i'm jason mo from hawaii and i will

[00:00:23] wow hawaii

[00:00:25] uh... guys jason mo is in the studio here lady. What is she? She's like, she's like, she's 21. I don't know. I don't even know. I mean, yeah, everyone is as old as you though. I mean, she is 20. There you go. Oh my god. Like it's honestly, the one thing I've noticed is there's a trend in voices right now where a lot of the like, and then it happens depending on generations, but like a lot of the big

[00:01:40] female stars right now is for singers have like a voice that

[00:01:43] is very similar to Olivia Rodrigo. So it's kind of like the

[00:01:46] hot thing right now where it's like, it's it. I can't walk. I just stop. I don't know why they do what they do, but hey. Hey, actually, we can all agree that Mikey Daze Joe Biden is terrible, right? I don't care. That's the thing. I just don't care. Hey, can we? It's not the worst thing in the world. It's an impression though. It's not anything.

[00:03:00] And nobody's rewriting the book here.

[00:03:02] It's bad though.

[00:03:03] It's bad.

[00:03:03] Let's take this back though, real quick,

[00:03:04] because I've got a couple of questions for you guys.

[00:03:06] You want to talk about the commercials before the show?

[00:03:07] Yeah.

[00:03:08] If we can. some of them in that episode. Chance the Rapper was the musical guest as well in Momoa introduced him. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Which I really wonder why and I don't know what the connection there is, but he did. They're probably just buddies. Um, and then another one. Ladies and gentlemen, Chance the Rapper. A year later, he came out as well. Okay. And the October 10th, 2020 show, which is my birthday, by the way,

[00:04:23] October 10th, um, that was an at home episode.

[00:05:24] racist answer the questions from reporters, Andrew Smukes, James Austin Johnson, Punky Johnson, Ego Wodum, Marcelo Hernandez, Molly Carney, and Michael Longfellow.

[00:05:29] After a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, we need a poo.

[00:05:35] Yes, he does not like that, does he?

[00:05:38] No, he does not. So I told you guys last week, I didn't dislike that political

[00:05:44] call open because it was different, right? They did the Trump thing where the There's some pressure to be kind of both sides is in a little bit like hey, hey, we make fun of Biden too And one of the ways to make fun of Biden is obviously he is old as dirt You know what? Honestly, you know what? Here's my pitch for the next cold open where Biden's in there They're planning his funeral and deciding who's gonna run in 2028 Like that's funny to me because he will be dead while he's still alive though

[00:07:01] Like he's he's in the room planning. Yeah, you know with them

[00:07:04] Like we're gonna talk about this and like go go for it then if you're gonna Israel itself? That was a great joke. I had never thought of it before. That's great. That's a great way to make sort of his age. Is it just that they all pool their resources and come up with that one joke? There are different writers. They're different team of writers. We can update writers only work on we can update. But I just think that- Hey, we can update. lend a hand to the people at the cold office.

[00:08:21] It's interesting because like,

[00:08:22] what Donald Trump you had the problem of

[00:08:24] everything that's happening in his administration

[00:08:26] is so ridiculous that it's very difficult to lampoon. and always associate with George bad old open and we got a bad cold open let us in and love all the cast show of all the writers if anybody from the show actually listen to our body think that that we hate them like I don't I love them no I don't even hate even though I think his impression is bad sorry Mikey I know I have so much respect for them so much I just wonder why how it's just gone gone off the

[00:11:02] rails so much for the cold opens you know I want it to be better I want like I

[00:11:06] know how hard that must be to come up with it. And I think that'd be fun. Yeah, I think that you're right. There's gotta be some kind of like better absurd that's very- Shake it up. Shake it up. Like I said, I thought last week was a little bit better because it was something different. Yeah. But let's figure that out. Still not great. All right, moving on. Modelogue by Jason Momoa, the host for the second time.

[00:12:20] Jason Momoa discusses his accomplishment

[00:12:22] of portraying Aquaman and achieving his childhood dream

[00:12:25] of becoming a marine biologist.

[00:12:27] He also expresses his ambition with the water bottle company and that's fine. And you're an aquamand. What else? What? Yeah, it was so weird. And it was so, I couldn't believe how short it was. I was like, what? That was it. I just looked at my wrist, by the way, for those who can't watch us. I just, I just, I'm so. Who's that watching our video stream? It was such a disjointed like pause for applause that didn't really happen when he, like,

[00:13:40] he was thinking that he was gonna get these big applause breaks

[00:13:42] on like, I love life.

[00:13:43] Yeah.

[00:13:44] And we'd pause and wait and then it didn't happen.

[00:13:45] And then he'd start to talk within the audience

[00:13:46] would start to climb a little bit and it got weird.

[00:13:47] Yeah.

[00:13:48] What the fuck was that? Begin quote unquote. I mean the cold open already started bad But like this is like kind of a fresher opening and like it kind of sets the stage for the night and it just Boom and we're always a kind of guy that also seems like he would try anything So he would be a fun one to do some musical stuff or whatever on that and we'll circle back to that because I've got a couple I've got a couple things to assume a couple

[00:15:02] Couple notes I do have a couple notes though

[00:15:05] I just and it's probably gonna sound of the physical pacing wasn't the best, but.

[00:16:22] That's gotta be really hard to do the odds.

[00:16:24] For sure, for sure.

[00:16:25] But one of the things I think that it didn't enhance it

[00:16:27] was that production design touch I think that you could do this again and I would be interested to see what they do. But I do like that kind of element to it, Brad. That's a great idea. Yeah. How some surprising origins something something something dumb says influences the thing and you've got that character in there now or something like that. So Wizard of Oz would be a great one because you can do there's so many like a virtues and bices that you can demonstrate in comedy that end up with the characters.

[00:17:42] So not not bad but not great.

[00:17:44] I thought it was it was written by based on the actual sketch writers. They'll put it on their Instagram or on Twitter that this was written by this person. Usually it's like Struder Side Out. Well, hey, shout out to Roeth of Baker for writing this or something like this.

[00:19:02] And so by the time we actually record, they're not known or sometimes the sketches never

[00:19:08] actually get out there where we wrote them. was a lot of like kind of bros and stuff like that. Or like, oh yeah, like at least once a week or something like that. And like they, and talking about it. They'd be, what, battling the Colosseum? Oh dude, I think what they're like once a week. Be awesome, be gladiator. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, they're not though. They're lying because it becomes a thing. It's things, it's things like that. And so, but, this was an amusing sketch. I thought it was solid, a decent, decent rap.

[00:20:20] Jason Momoa's presence, his physical presence

[00:20:22] kind of worked for this kind of thing.

[00:20:24] Sure.

[00:20:24] But at the same time.

[00:20:25] It's a little bit of a bro.

[00:20:26] It's also like, why didn't you guys do this?

[00:20:28] A month ago. happened when the show was still off the air, you know? So. They did this once last year where they pulled in a thing and did a sketch on it. That was like same thing. It was like two months too late. And there was nothing wrong with the sketch. I can't remember what it was, right? I do remember that. There was nothing wrong with it. It was just the moment I had passed. Yeah. And I feel like that's with the comedy for this,

[00:21:41] the moment I had passed, you have to hit on it, right?

[00:21:44] Sometimes it's like when you're an ugly person. That made me laugh the first time he said it. And it got me. But then no escalation. No, nothing. It was just stupid. Yeah, it was not good. No, and like Jason Momoa's Scarface impression wasn't doing it for me either. I just yeah, this this this is a

[00:23:04] writer's love the show so much. But instead of it being like, charming at all, it just was repetitive. And this time it was boring. Yeah, it just didn't work. It was it was not a good sketch all around. I didn't enjoy myself. And it's pretty early for that type of sketch. There were no, no, no, no towels. It was not a just, hey, we're going to sometimes I feel like some of the sketches are like,

[00:24:25] well, there's a. That one was okay. Central Park. The Central Park one was really funny. Yeah, I thought it was okay. I thought it was pretty funny, but it's this one. It just felt like they didn't really dig into, I think, like the weirdness and like how,

[00:25:45] like how wild, like traveling and being at airports during Thanksgiving week really I wonder sometimes if they have episodes where it's like everyone's going I've got nothing yeah I've got nothing and okay go to the newspapers read what happened a couple months ago I also I did like the joke where Jason Momoa flipped Ego the wings and bones like those are for children. Yeah, that was a great joke. I did like that joke

[00:27:01] All right moving on this oh wait that rooms for breastfeeding oh

[00:28:00] Are you serious here, guys? We gotta shut up.

[00:28:01] We really gotta shut up.

[00:28:02] Like Dad's gonna kill us.

[00:28:03] Okay, okay Brian, we can really be quiet.

[00:28:05] So that's what I kind of thought of

[00:28:06] when I thought of the sketch.

[00:28:08] What did you guys think of?

[00:28:09] I think that it's official that please don't destroy

[00:28:11] is in a rough patch.

[00:28:13] Yeah.

[00:28:14] This was not, I didn't hate this by any means,

[00:28:16] but it was another sketch where like the premise

[00:28:19] just felt a little too simple and they didn't do much with it.

[00:28:22] And I was just like, oh, okay, this is fine, I guess, you know?

[00:28:25] For me, what they do

[00:29:42] because it does seem so absurd and they make it into something and they they they escalate It's too late. And we can wait. Do you want to watch it with me? Yeah. And we'll talk about it on GoFlicks Yourself, our other podcast. Aren't we supposed to talk about it on this podcast as well? It's not. It's not a it's not a. Please don't destroy thing. It's produced by Lauren Michaels. All right. But what am I going to say on the other podcast? It's a new movie. It's a hot topic. People talking about it. It's on TV too. I don't think that's true.

[00:31:00] It's on PCONK.

[00:31:01] It's not TV.

[00:31:02] It's a TV app.

[00:31:03] It's not TV.

[00:31:04] It's HBO.

[00:31:05] Moving on.

[00:31:06] What's next?

[00:31:07] All right.

[00:31:08] We can update with Colin, Joe, some Michael, Jay. Okay. I think we're at 75 last week. Correct. I wasn't saying I'm over the 70. No one cares. 70. Okay. I'm going to actually go slightly more because I thought there were some decent jokes in this one. Um, I told you about the Israel joke. I thought it was good. And there was. Yeah. I know. I know. But you do. I think that's how we're doing.

[00:32:20] I don't know.

[00:32:20] Colin Jost also had some jokes where I felt like he was self-deprecating and those are always fun.

[00:32:26] It's not.

[00:32:27] That's not part of it.

[00:32:28] It is part at it. But when Colin Jost makes fun of himself and when he has self-deprecating Huber, Michael Che laughs and they usually have a little bit of a look at each other or something like that. But the overall quality of weekend update has nothing to do with their kind of scene. Agreed, agreed. But again, the jokes and all these things

[00:33:41] do have a role in how they connect to each other.

[00:33:45] Yeah, they can, that the You can rethink if you want to reread John Yang's George Santos in this week edition if we can update was was pretty good actually I thought yeah, no, let's get to that then real quick Yeah, so bonying shows back up as a congeau interviews George Santos again written by Allison Gates

[00:35:03] Can sublet Boeing Yang and Celeste even they've done this very funny. I also like that he was taking everything as a compliment. That was funny. Because like, you know,

[00:36:20] but you choked up. Yeah, but I was trying to kill him. So good. And then I left

[00:36:25] honestly hard when he got out the little black book and started making notes. This reminded me of the Bon Jovi cover band a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. Which just, I want that at all. Basically, I'm now to the point where like, I am getting excited whenever James Austin Johnson and Andrew Dismuth together. Or doing together. Or doing together. They're a great period. But then even more so as a subcategory of that, if they're doing something musical together, I'm definitely excited about it. The fact that Dismuth doesn't even try to sing.

[00:37:41] Yeah.

[00:37:42] And he just yells.

[00:37:43] It's like the last, like, do they really need to, because like...

[00:37:46] To be fair, I'm edge of dragons could have just created something new and it had been fine. Yeah. And as far as I remember too,

[00:39:01] even Chloe Feynman's hairstyle is like Helen Hunt's hairstyle

[00:39:05] in that scene from Castaway. and make this still enjoyable. I still, this just goes to show you that any member now, in my opinion, most members of the cast can save a sketch. And it used to just be great in sketch or Chris Red with his crazy ass. And now, or 80 Bryant, or Cecily Strong. Now you look at it and go, okay,

[00:40:21] Marcel Hernandez can save a sketch.

[00:40:23] Sarah Sherman can save a sketch.

[00:40:24] But only it's a dismuse.

[00:40:26] They all have this ability

[00:40:27] and you're certain to see the confidence. A woman portrayed by Sarah Sherman challenges the biggest man in tennis Jason Momoa in the year 1969. The sketch also includes Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, Eggo Woldham, and Chloe Feynman with Feynman briefly playing feminist icon, Gloria Steynman, and just makes him Devin Walker making appearance in the sketch as well as fans.

[00:41:40] Did you guys watch the movie Battle of the Sexes?

[00:41:44] I did, and it's pretty good.

[00:41:45] Is it pretty good?

[00:41:46] Yeah, Emma Stone and Steve that shot through the hole. The hole, too. So so at first, I thought I wasn't necessarily as on board with the grotesque of it right away because in my head, I was like, I don't know if it would

[00:43:00] have been funnier to just have him hit her with a test ball and then she throws up on

[00:43:03] herself that something's like more grounded, right?

[00:43:06] And then she's and then it would make more sense that she would try to keep going.

[00:44:05] doctor. What did you guys think of this one? Hey, you know how it's it's really uncomfortable to hear other people's medical stuff. Let's do a whole sketch on that like it's never

[00:44:09] been done before. Now, now I will say, I didn't have a problem with the premise because there

[00:44:14] were things in here that could have been like there were a couple of funny bits that they

[00:44:18] could have absolutely escalated it. This could have been this could have been I don't think

[00:44:21] there was an escalation though. I don't like I don't think there is a the other sketches. Yeah. It was. On the lower end. Yeah, it wasn't paid by numbers necessarily because there was something at least in here that wasn't, I haven't seen it every episode or every couple of episodes. It just, like you said, they took a funny joke or a funny bit and you needed some other characters

[00:45:40] to add to it and it just wasn't enough

[00:45:42] to fill out a whole sketch.

[00:45:43] I just, if you're gonna do stuff like that

[00:45:45] where you're like, you have Hepatize gold, right? Dana Carvey had such an incredible role on the show and still honestly does with the podcast he hosts bringing in former cast members and you know all the other lighting directors these kind of things and I was just I was so sad to hear this and if you follow Dana Carvey on on Twitter at all He's heartbroken. Oh, yeah, it's just it's just awful. Yeah, and his son was

[00:47:04] He was only in this early 30s. Yeah is and all that He dude you got to be better than this if you're gonna be that cuz like He didn't he wasn't good But every time that he was on there in the even the good nights He's like bowling people over and hugging him and this is the best thing ever. It's like man like sad

[00:48:22] I don't I don't want to say unearned going to backslide, but still have the confidence of somebody who's gonna be the next Justin Timberlake, I don't, this is a vibe with me, I just don't like it. Yeah. And that's what I have to say about that.

[00:49:40] I would feel that way more if I thought

[00:49:43] the sketches were worthy of a good performance,

[00:49:45] but I think a lot of the sketches weren't that great.

[00:49:47] Yeah, I don't think reasons. He really did a lot for this episode. Yeah, I agree. It's Boanyang for me as the MVP. The only other one I thought I picked Boanyang as well. The only other thought I would maybe entertain is introduce me because he did a couple of really good things

[00:51:00] as well.

[00:51:00] Yeah, true.

[00:51:00] Yeah, the weekend update bit was great.

[00:51:03] The.

[00:51:04] And the ticket shirt off next to the cast away thing.

[00:51:06] If he would have done a sketch. No, no, I'm just saying. I think it's funnier. Yeah, but you said that that doesn't count. But I would rather you break the rules. You can't do that then. I go, it's still a bit. And you're like, no, that's what we get out of here.

[00:52:20] It's not the sketch of the night.

[00:52:21] You've literally said that on the show,

[00:52:22] and I will not tolerate you.

[00:52:24] But I would rather you break the rules.

[00:52:25] But I would rather you break the rules Yeah, I gotta go back here. Hold on, at least you got where you got it. No, just because you're like, I remember multiple times in this episode, where I'm like, well, Momoa has this under the comments, like, well, I don't know that it's fair because it wasn't his fault. Then you specifically said the monologue was shit. I don't know what he was doing in that airport sketch. No, no, no, no. He was the worst part about that.

[00:53:40] He was not very good in this episode,

[00:53:42] but what I'm saying is I don't think it's entirely his fault

[00:53:44] that the episode was bad.

[00:53:47] I'm just putting it in compare him to Songy Bottom. Poser? No, no, he's more bulky than that. Mumford and the Suns? You just keep saying things and I can't think. Ray Lamontaine? Nope. He's not as bluesy as Ray Lamontaine. Jason Mraz. Nope, not as popular as

[00:55:02] Jason Mraz gets. I will send care. I love you so much, buddy. I love you too, buddy. We're on the internet. Go to thetendowine.com, like and rate us. We do appreciate all of that.
