Episode 55 - Dakota Johnson (Season 49)

[00:00:00] I'm gonna freaking I love this mess this up so I'm telling you right now it's hard.

[00:00:08] All I know is I'm not going to do this well but I know I'm not going to be you know Kevin

[00:00:11] McAllister's you know you talking before you do it well now I'm gonna look at you I was

[00:00:17] I was going to be the courtesy of not looking when I'm staring at your fucking face.

[00:00:21] Alright here we go. Mike think is I got some crap about that on Twitter and we're gonna put talking about that on the go fix yourself podcast Brad is sick. He doesn't have it but he's he is just on so last week. He was in in Great Britain. Yep this week. He's sick and let's just let's all call now. It's good Britain I don't know that it's great. Yeah, well this week though. He got gonorrhea

[00:01:46] She's a pizza and and he's getting or something. He cheated. He cheated. He cheated. But there's still, there's still together. There's still together. And I feel like that's their issue. And I, I don't know this for sure,

[00:03:01] but I feel like cheating in Hollywood is a thing.

[00:04:07] tree her and out in a couple weeks. What's the other woman, the nice young lady? What? The blonde lady that's in that movie. I don't know. City Sweeney. There's a city. I don't

[00:04:10] know what you're talking about. So she had a joke in her monologue about that where it's

[00:04:14] basically your. Yeah, let's get into it. Let's just get into it. You know what? Let's get

[00:04:17] into it. We got to get on it. We need to donate. Quit beating around the bush. I'll

[00:04:21] stop. All right. First sketch of again, Phil Sims was in, you know, he was portrayed in a cold open and an NFL champion, well, NFL and CBS sketch who portrayed him in 2014. So seven years after that. And that's going on nine years ago. Well, 10 2014 is 10 years now.

[00:05:42] I said going on because it's only January, you know, so it's barely 2024.

[00:05:46] It is 2024 though.

[00:05:47] The math checks out. you know, dismukes as Romo is great as like just kind of. Because again, this is playing on the idea that Tony Roman said something that was kind of depressing in one of the things and they just went viral. But yeah, this is the perfect idea of what we're talking about. It wasn't just a shot for shot remake of what happened. It was taking a small thing and making it big. The idea that these actors are getting depressed. Exactly.

[00:07:00] So that was great.

[00:07:01] And then throwing the little jab at themselves and S&L.

[00:07:05] Great. in their 100%. I liked that they took something contemporary but made it somewhat unique. And they the only thing they did about Taylor switch was a one off with Andy Reed. Instead of making the entire thing. The carne is Andy Reed is great. Yeah. So that all that worked. They knew what they were doing here and unfortunately technically. Yeah. It was a sketch that just like it seemed like going going going and then Plinkra.

[00:08:21] Oh, unfortunate.

[00:08:23] So too bad.

[00:08:25] You know what though, I said, I'll don't let that derail you.

[00:08:27] Keep it going. good. The bringing coming back was a very awkward line. And he let it sit for quite a while. And that got honestly awkward. It was cringy a little bit. They could have just we're going to talk about this point in the episode. To go to Justin is an actress that does well because she's she is an actress. She's a good actress.

[00:09:40] I've got nothing wrong with the roles that she hurts you who she is a little bit. It's like, it's challenging for her to deliver lines, not like herself when she's in sketch comedy.

[00:11:00] And the police are just one,

[00:11:01] they compare it to Arby Plaza,

[00:11:02] which I don't really get.

[00:11:03] Arby Plaza is very dry, we're very, very popular amongst the server crowd as a podcast. Write it down and make us both feel more secure in this new relationship. We have it doesn't impress me if you have that hidden talent.

[00:12:21] So I like this.

[00:12:23] Keep it hidden.

[00:12:23] Act like you're adding it down.

[00:12:24] I like this premise.

[00:12:26] There's some good things in that process.

[00:12:28] Again, attend a train.

[00:13:40] Sarah Sherman's doing her role.

[00:13:41] I get where they're going with this.

[00:13:43] I'm starting to laugh.

[00:13:44] Dakota Johnson goes off when it is just the performance of the sketch. Do you think that we have a little recency bias here? And since we brought that up last week, we were paying more attention to how bad the host could screw something up? Probably, because it was something for me to say, the premise of this is good.

[00:15:01] This is not a bad premise.

[00:15:02] I kept thinking that like this is where I want the show to be.

[00:15:05] Why aren't these sketches better?

[00:15:06] And I'm not blaming. This is great. This was really great. I love, I've never once thought about,

[00:16:22] you know, so this is a mori kind of bit,

[00:16:25] not mori-phobic show.

[00:16:27] Let me guess, you've never once thought.

[00:16:28] These are real people. She's she's she started watching. Yeah, she started watching during the day when Sarah Serbens the Terran Kilimanera. No, so we're watching and like we went to the we were watching it live. So it goes to commercial and she turned to me and said, does that make logistically timeline sensitive to there would be a grandmother? So we're doing the math on our head like if if a Maury show like that was in the early 90s, let's say, then yeah,

[00:17:42] it's 31 years later. And so somebody that was like in their

[00:17:46] late 20s would be in their late 50ich type. Also, if you're in the show yet and you're listening as a woman, what are you doing? And then they're cutting back to the present day. But so they watch this and Dakota Johnson's character as a young woman says, I got this ass, don't I? And then Andrew speaks, she does this so well,

[00:19:02] looks over at his mother and she does this like

[00:19:06] little grin and like, it's true. by jenny fowlan as his brother and his brother robin give played by jessington really interview andrew yang play by boa and yang and other guests including joanne karducci and you the uh... mistle play bay decoded johnson and kewie times and about the two thousand twenty four election let's before we get into this do you as a whole like the berry give yes talk show

[00:20:21] sketches that they've done yes

[00:20:23] this is the seventh one that they've done i like them all

[00:20:26] i mean i like them all up until now not, he likes to drink. We all do. But I'm just telling you, I didn't enjoy it because of that aspect. And it's more of a, almost more of a technical aspect because I still like the sketch. I just wish that I could, I have enjoyed the performance like I used to. Yeah, I thought it was fine. I thought it was good. I actually enjoyed it. When Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb loses his shit

[00:21:43] on anybody, the juxtaposition of a guy like Barry Gibb

[00:22:46] All right, moving on to my boys, please don't destroy roast written by Martin Hurley, John Higgins and Ben Marshall.

[00:22:48] The please don't destroy boys and host Dakota Johnson engaging banter and take turns roasting

[00:22:52] each other.

[00:22:53] I loved this by far the best.

[00:22:56] Please destroy me.

[00:22:57] I'm not going to say all time.

[00:22:58] It's going to be in top three.

[00:22:59] It's a top three for me.

[00:23:01] So freaking funny and it's in the reason.

[00:23:04] So what tell me tell me why you think this is so funny.

[00:23:07] There's a she is though. That dries as humor is clearly every joke was great.

[00:24:20] Every joke that I listened to, I laughed at all.

[00:24:23] It didn't.

[00:24:23] It escalated perfectly because they are the they are doctors of escalation.

[00:24:28] It was it was very popular websites. There's E.W., there's slash film. There's all kinds of different websites that people can write for. You know, you should take their opinions of the grain of salt. Yeah. Especially if you're like, listen, you can trust somebody if they are who they say they are, but if, but if they go, if it's like a soon doom,

[00:25:43] doom, it's like, that's weird to me.

[00:25:45] Why wouldn't you go by your name?

[00:26:46] These Stanley cups are everywhere right now. There's like, you know, it is odd to me that these things happen where Am I all my office that has oh everyone wants one there?

[00:26:50] I am not joking. I walked in one day and they were there

[00:26:53] It's not like one of them got one and I don't know how this happened

[00:26:56] Your random Tuesday was like oh there are three that is a culture women in my office and three of them have these huge Stanley cups

[00:27:01] I'm so that is a cultural phenomenon. That's worth coming. Oh 100%

[00:28:07] The problem for me was unlike the please don't destroy a sketch, they took the jokes and

[00:28:14] they used these jokes, write more jokes and then see which ones work better and then only use the really, really great ones. The jokes themselves weren't as good. There were some,

[00:28:19] but then the sketch went on for a minute too long.

[00:28:22]
