[00:00:11] featuring Ben Conowitz and

[00:00:14] Nate Lauch and

[00:00:17] Here's the podcast

[00:00:20] What do you think of that one? Yeah, but but but

[00:00:25] Are you sick?

[00:00:28] That's a source

[00:00:31] So it's like is he ever hosted SNL Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'm sure he must have right I feel oh if he didn't that would be

[00:00:39] Like why not but I've never seen a clip of him. Yeah, I can't recall any clips

[00:00:43] He was so he did he came on with Hans and Franz

[00:00:45] I do remember that but I'm not sure if that was for SNL for it was just for a different PSA

[00:00:49] Yeah, that's a good question. Actually. I'm sure Nate's looking it up right now as we delay

[00:00:53] I am and see if we can figure this out

[00:00:56] He has not he made a

[00:00:59] Cameo that does surprise me. That is crazy

[00:01:03] Yeah, you know he made a cameo in the

[00:01:06] 1988 episode hosted by Danny DeVito what film was that for a tweed Star Wars correct for twins

[00:01:13] And then he did a filmed cameo in the 1991 episode with

[00:01:20] Christian Slater to promote total recall

[00:01:23] Is that right or a Terminator? I mean 91 was that was the pumping up with

[00:01:28] Hans and Franz I think right there would have been Terminator 2 right

[00:01:32] They was filming in any one it came out 92 didn't so recall come out in 90. Oh, you're right. You're right. Yeah

[00:01:38] Yeah, no, I think you came out in 91. I think you're right. He uh, this was uh, no

[00:01:44] He was I like to think Lord Michaels for being under red hot chili peppers of the band of the year

[00:01:49] Look, I like to thank everyone the cat the best cast in the group in the United States of America

[00:01:53] And I want to tell you the people of California even though I'm not the governor yet I will be

[00:01:59] But when he says California you gotta do California. Yeah, it's like a Kali like I was I was going to be in the Californians

[00:02:08] See why haven't they done that?

[00:02:13] I'm seriously like kind of floored that our figure hasn't hosted SNL. That's wild

[00:02:18] Yes, me my me my best friend head with Harry. We're over here

[00:02:22] I do it had to carry tasker from we should we should write write a fake episode

[00:02:29] From the 90s though early 90s with references that he wouldn't know. Yeah, perfect

[00:02:35] Well you guys we did it. We had another great episode of Maya Rudolph hosting SNL

[00:02:41] With Arnold Schwarzenegger Wow future vintage SNL. I love it. I love it pretty well a pretty great bit to do actually

[00:02:47] I'm not joking that yeah, let's let's write it. Let's do it, but what we do have is the latest episode of Saturday Night Live season 49

[00:02:54] This is the penultimate episode of the season Maya Rudolph hosted for her third time

[00:03:01] She is actually among a small group of former cast members who have all hosted three times. Do you guys know who they are?

[00:03:10] Only three times not not three or more only three times

[00:03:13] Amy Poehler not Amy Poehler

[00:03:16] Tina Fey not Tina five times

[00:03:20] Just had a whole yeah, I'm sorry

[00:03:24] Three time hosts only oh, I know I know my bubba

[00:03:31] Who's the only murders in a building or Steve Martin Martin short my short balls

[00:03:39] See see Martin was never a cast member that's true and he's hosted like 20 times so yeah

[00:03:44] It's definitely not John Goodman no, let's count down the one starting with the most

[00:03:50] And then that have not actually been cast members. Okay, I'm gonna tell you who has it been Eddie Murphy three times Chris Rock

[00:03:56] Three times Jimmy Fallon three time and Julia Louis Dreyfus. Okay

[00:04:03] Rob Schneider Rob Schneider, I don't know if he's ever hosted. He has not there you go. We're missing out

[00:04:08] I don't think he's gonna

[00:04:11] By that

[00:04:13] What'd you what'd you think of this episode guys?

[00:04:16] What was the vibe like were you excited for this?

[00:04:18] I was I was fairly excited because I like a Maya Rudolph and like it's always fun when a former cast member comes comes back

[00:04:24] Cuz like, you know, there's gonna be throwbacks. You might have some special guests that kind of thing

[00:04:30] Overall, I would say I was not in love with this episode

[00:04:33] But I was in love with Maya Rudolph in this episode. I will agree with that

[00:04:38] That she was not an issue my feeling is not the problem it which we talked about this before

[00:04:43] Sometimes the sketches are fine in the host just doesn't do the job that's needed to perform the sketch

[00:04:50] This I think was just a problem with some of the sketches because she was doing she she performed at a high level

[00:04:55] She really did she was I mean, she's great. Like she's always been great when she was on SNL

[00:04:59] She was fantastic

[00:04:59] and yeah

[00:05:00] there was just something about

[00:05:01] The sketches that that a lot of them didn't feel like they really landed some of them felt like they could have used another draft

[00:05:07] Unlike the Kate McKinnon episode where it was stilted because she is supposed to be the weird one and supposed to blend in

[00:05:15] And now she's asked to be the you know, yeah the norm the straight person

[00:05:20] Unlike that episode. Well, she's gay. Okay, Maya Rudolph

[00:05:25] Is just playing and having fun and and it's firing on all cylinders

[00:05:31] So yeah, she fit in perfectly

[00:05:33] We'll talk about the sketches individually, but I think we all agree that it could have been better but Maya Rudolph was not the issue

[00:05:38] Yeah, exactly

[00:05:40] And speaking of having fun

[00:05:41] Let's just get into it because I was definitely having fun at the very top of the show because the cold open

[00:05:46] Was not a political sketch was not anything

[00:05:50] Satirical as far as the headlines are concerned like that

[00:05:51] But it was timely because it was a Mother's Day 2024 cold open now

[00:05:56] I will tell you guys usually when we do this Nate has a whole list of the writers that have done every sketch

[00:06:01] So far we're recording this on Sunday night and for some reason the available list of writers was extremely

[00:06:09] Limited well, we record on Sunday night. Normally we record on Monday, which the the list has been updated online by a lot

[00:06:15] yeah, and because

[00:06:18] They don't they don't publish this right? We find this out from the writers

[00:06:23] Yeah

[00:06:23] The writers will post something on Instagram usually there are a couple people online who will collect information like on the SNL wiki

[00:06:30] Or like someone on Twitter who is just taking it upon themselves to post whenever they find out something from Instagram or something like that

[00:06:35] But this isn't like anything that we can find out online through NBC

[00:06:39] Yeah

[00:06:39] or the credit the only writers that are specifically listed on a sketch by sketch basis in the official credits on SNL are for

[00:06:46] The pre-taped sketches and other otherwise they don't

[00:06:49] Attach writers are also they have directors and stuff like that. Those are a little bit bigger deal

[00:06:53] Yeah, exactly. So so Brad had to do it this time and

[00:06:56] Yeah

[00:06:58] Nate was real busy with his pastor communion, you know youth

[00:07:03] Youth service whatever it is

[00:07:06] But but yeah, so I did my best. I do have some of the writers but for a lot of them

[00:07:10] I don't but I did my best so

[00:07:13] Mother day 20 to 24 Colbin almost the entire cast brings their mothers on the show

[00:07:18] Except for please don't destroy who are only allowed to bring their fathers

[00:07:21] Do you know who the two cast members were who did not have their mothers appear in this bit?

[00:07:26] I

[00:07:27] Let me just think about this Michael Che correct Nate Heidi Gardner. Correct Ben. Those are the only two

[00:07:35] Michael Chase mother I believe passed away not too long ago if I if I remember incorrectly

[00:07:40] What about Heidi Gardner's Heidi Gardner's mother is very much alive and it's very much part of her life and is a

[00:07:44] Very big fan of Heidi Gardner. So I'm not entirely sure why she wasn't there

[00:07:47] I love the fact that it could be literally a scheduling conflict. She is from Los Angeles. So pretty far flight

[00:07:53] To be on national television with your daughter

[00:07:55] I'm other yeah, exactly. Listen, it's Mother's Day. It's her day speaking of Mother's Day

[00:07:59] Do you guys remember because this is a fairly recent development in SNL history?

[00:08:04] The previous times they have done Mother's Day celebrations like this in the past

[00:08:09] I mean they I do remember this happening and I remember Kenan's mom

[00:08:17] So I'm sure they've done it two or three times, right they have done it exactly three times

[00:08:22] They did it on May 9th 2015 with hosts

[00:08:27] Sure, yeah

[00:08:29] No, no Reese Witherspoon. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. Oh

[00:08:33] May 12 2018 with host Justin Timberlake. No

[00:08:38] You're thinking of the mother lover episode where there were only two Mother's Day sketches and it was in 2009

[00:08:42] Okay. Well, I tried Amy Schumer in 2018 and then the most recent one was May 8th 2021 with one of our favorite hosts

[00:08:50] 2021

[00:08:52] Travis Kelsey

[00:08:54] One of our favorite hosts Chris Hemsworth. Nate you're very close. It was Elon Musk

[00:09:01] You rascal I got you an Elon Musk mom was there so not disappointed in her stupid son

[00:09:08] What did you guys think about this opening? Obviously, it's it's adorable. It's charming. Yeah

[00:09:12] Yeah, you know it was I I'm never going to expect the moms to like nail the lines and be of course not

[00:09:20] It's just part of the fun. It's adorable. Yeah, it is. I have no problems with this whatsoever

[00:09:25] This was like you said

[00:09:27] This was the start of an a political episode almost as a whole

[00:09:31] Yeah, we can update there just wasn't a lot which I was fine

[00:09:35] It actually felt kind of almost at times like a throwback episode like an episode that could have aired when Maya Rudolph was still

[00:09:41] A cast member and I'm fine with that. Yeah, absolutely when things can be evergreen, you know

[00:09:45] I wasn't upset about it. Not at all. It was adorable. I love seeing everybody's my loved Marcelo her name is his mom

[00:09:51] Oh god, it's so funny and Michael Che

[00:09:55] And then we also had the my favorite bits were just because they was extra cute because of this because ego

[00:10:02] Wodim's mom and Bowen Yang's mom have still have heavy. Oh sure

[00:10:06] But they were like pushing through it and everything and I love that Bowen Yang helped his mom land the hall pass punchline

[00:10:11] She's not gonna get it we got to get it out there egos mom

[00:10:14] I mean if you I I rebounded just so I could kind of hear what you're saying and just the like

[00:10:20] It's a great bit though. It is like she would have been a doctor like thanks Lauren

[00:10:23] Like that's a great joke the way. Yeah, the way she was thinking one Michael. Oh gosh

[00:10:27] Yeah, no, I really really like that. No man. Yeah Bowen's mom. She just went for it, man

[00:10:32] That's awesome. And he was so happy. Oh, yeah

[00:10:34] It's a great way to like start off a feel-good episode

[00:10:38] Part of the fun for me are the charm of it is like, you know, the cast members loved having their mom

[00:10:43] Oh, like it was just like it was so much fun for them and I

[00:10:47] Michael long fellows was good too. I mean they're all very good

[00:10:51] But just like except for the ones that bomb those are for dad

[00:10:55] Michael Longfellow has a stand-up bit about having a super attractive mom

[00:11:00] Yeah

[00:11:02] Marcelo

[00:11:04] Hernandez and Michael Longfellow not

[00:11:07] unattractive mothers

[00:11:09] Because they're still children and her mothers are like my age. Yeah. Oh

[00:11:14] Shit, I realized that Marcelo Hernandez mom is 41. Yeah probably

[00:11:20] So so yeah, so that was the cold open and I don't know if it was the the cold open that did it

[00:11:25] But in this episode Mikey day has now officially been in 600 SNL sketches

[00:11:31] Good for him and Marcelo Hernandez hit a hundred sketches

[00:11:35] Both well deserves that Mikey is

[00:11:38] From behind the scenes of what I've read such a prolific writer. Yeah and can just churn out

[00:11:43] 17 ideas in a week

[00:11:45] Yeah, like that man's the echo of that Beavis and butthead sketch is still hanging around

[00:11:49] It is one that's going to live in seriously because not only was a huge like immediately

[00:11:54] It was one of like the most watch SNL sketches in recent history

[00:11:58] They appeared on the fall guy red carpet as Beavis and butthead did interviews as the characters

[00:12:04] Not not be was in butthead, but as the guy Jeff and whatever his name

[00:12:08] Yeah, and then now you have this reference to Mikey day playing butthead here in this sketch. So it's got some legs

[00:12:13] Yeah, it's not it's not going anywhere and I'm fine with it. It's a it's the new David s pumpkins

[00:12:18] Yeah, I just hope that they know maybe they'll do us

[00:12:20] I'll know that they won't bring them back, but they'll do another different character like they've I hope they wait though

[00:12:25] Oh, yeah, I'm sure I hope they wait. Well, how do they do it next week with Jake Gyllenhaal?

[00:12:29] Well, they're gonna do it with Gosling again. I'm sure next time he's on but he's only on like every four years

[00:12:34] Maybe that'll change

[00:12:35] You know what? He could he could have he could break less though

[00:12:38] I will say like I like it but one thing when I didn't really talk about last time was how annoying it

[00:12:43] It's when he breaks constantly who?

[00:12:46] Gosling

[00:12:49] Hey your point figures at

[00:12:51] Gosling, but what about your girl Heidi Gardner who she so it's rare for her to break not anymore

[00:12:57] Oh

[00:12:58] A little bit of a issue here there. Yeah, but by and large Gosling broke on like Jimmy Fallon level on every sketch

[00:13:04] It let's go. That's good. But it was also but it was also never disrupted to the point where it really felt like I threw

[00:13:09] Anything off and that's the key

[00:13:12] Next time baby goose just just back out a little bit. Okay, but he does that's his thing. He always does

[00:13:17] All right, the Mother's Day monologue Maya Rudolph

[00:13:21] Returns to host for a third times talks about celebrating Mother's Day on Saturday night live before learning

[00:13:26] That she is mother. So I don't I didn't know what this is

[00:13:32] It's basically the mom version of being daddy. Gotcha. I mean that makes sense

[00:13:37] I got I mean, sorry, I should have said I know what it is now

[00:13:40] I didn't know when the sketch started what that was so good for her another throwback though to

[00:13:46] grandiose musical performances

[00:13:49] Like we haven't had a great musical performance in the monologue in a while

[00:13:54] That I was intricate and this was advanced. Yeah, this was this was a whole

[00:13:59] Something that honestly only somebody like Maya Rudolph can pull off

[00:14:03] This is my Rudolph Fred Armisen level. Yeah, you know musical improv or not improv but like musical

[00:14:09] No, it was it was impressive especially because because it's it has a hip-hop cadence to it

[00:14:12] So you're getting a lot of lyrics out and so like it's not

[00:14:15] You know, it's like Madonna Vogue a little absolutely

[00:14:18] Yeah that little like break where she's doing the speaking lines

[00:14:21] But like it's and doing that rhythmically and keeping up with his heart

[00:14:25] she did have one flub where it messed up a rhyme when she was talking about the

[00:14:30] Martha Stewart had good her and then Mary Catherine Gallagher. It was supposed to be her but she said hair

[00:14:35] So it didn't rhyme and it felt weird

[00:14:39] Like she was getting out of breath oh

[00:14:41] How could she know?

[00:14:43] And then there was only other one one of the dancers stepped in front of her a little bit

[00:14:47] So she's like kind of broke and smiled a little bit because it like did you see that part?

[00:14:50] No, I didn't so when they're busting through the doors and it and then there was a kind of a curtain sheet that was up

[00:14:55] Yeah to dancers were supposed to kind of go in front of her and one kind of clipped her a little bit

[00:14:59] Yeah, you can just see her stop and smile and kind of like oh, it was really great

[00:15:03] But she I mean with that happening just being able to just get right through it

[00:15:07] You know, it didn't throw her off like that's crazy. She's a consummate professional. She was fantastic

[00:15:12] I loved it and I imagine a lot of I mean aside from being having a long history with SNL to

[00:15:17] Don't forget she also had a variety show with Martin Short that she did for a while. She's just that person right?

[00:15:22] She didn't trust her with this no

[00:15:24] This I couldn't probably even with those small little foibles. They couldn't have gone better like

[00:15:29] at the beginning, you know with Sarah's Sarah Sherman and Bo and Yang you could just see how much like she is

[00:15:37] Thought of in the cast right as they look at her as they talk to her and they set up that that whole number

[00:15:43] Like they picked the right two cast members to bring a very vibrant vibe to because it

[00:15:49] Diva it was very much Bowen being and yes. Yes, and it's it's that he was having fun forcefulness

[00:15:54] Yeah, it was needed

[00:15:56] So that I believe that was written by Jake Nordwin because he posted on Instagram that most of the credit for this goes to

[00:16:02] August white funnily enough if you don't know this August white is a black woman. So

[00:16:08] August white and I'm pretty sure that's how you pronounce her first name because it's

[00:16:12] August with an E at the yeah, I never know. I never know who knows it's a guy

[00:16:16] It's Augustus and I even tried to like see if there was interview or someone said her name

[00:16:19] I always go to YouTube

[00:16:20] I'm like ever see if I can find and they specifically mentioned that the choreography was done by Sarah Hogleby

[00:16:25] So congratulations Sarah for doing an amazing job pulling off. That's actually put out September

[00:16:31] All right, so

[00:16:33] Here's another fun fact about Maya Rudolph hosting SNL

[00:16:36] Do you guys pay attention to the bumper photos when I do? Yeah, Ben do you you don't give a shit?

[00:16:42] It's not that I don't give shit. I look at them. I'm like, oh, yeah

[00:16:44] I do particularly because I use a bumper photo like when yeah, of course for the episode

[00:16:50] I use one for the front page image for my review on I only I only do really notice them when it's it's clearly

[00:16:56] A takeoff or not famous something else and I and when that connection hits my brain

[00:17:00] I do know you see the connection for this

[00:17:03] Ben probably the one like one of people who's definitely not gonna get well

[00:17:06] This is a this is a little bit harder though

[00:17:08] It is a little harder but it's something she's been doing for a while every time she hosts

[00:17:12] So for those who don't know Maya Rudolph's mother is Minnie Riperton. She is a famous soul singer and songwriter

[00:17:19] Yeah sounds like a made-up the original loving you song. It was sung. It was like a burger commercial

[00:17:25] Yeah, sung by Maya Rudolph's mom

[00:17:29] So some of the bumper photos that she did this time are

[00:17:32] Recreations of her mother's album covers and she's done this several times and you knew this no

[00:17:37] No, I did not that's research buddy that's research that's my job that's called doing the work

[00:17:42] Okay, cuz though because you guys said, you know

[00:17:44] Oh when it's a famous recreation and like like you were in on it like oh I saw that I was like totally

[00:17:50] Mini Rippenhower. No. No, I learned this doing

[00:17:54] Ripperton Ripper Ripper hour

[00:17:58] Sorry

[00:18:00] Alright, there you go hot ones with Beyonce to Beyonce played by Maya Rudolph returns to hot ones

[00:18:06] In her cowboy Carter era Mikey Dave plays host Sean Evans and Kenan Thompson appears as Beyonce's assistant to Raphael

[00:18:13] This is a sorry real quick. This is a much better Sean Evans impression

[00:18:17] Yes, Mikey days voice was way high the first time he did it

[00:18:20] Yes

[00:18:20] It's like he actually paid attention to his cadence and tried to mimic him a little better

[00:18:24] Yes, which means that Sean Evans you finally finally made it

[00:18:28] So it's funny that they did this since we had a little bit of a snafu trying to remember if it was an SNL

[00:18:33] Real so hard actually and I were watching it

[00:18:39] We just talked about this I was so happy now, what did you guys think about it?

[00:18:42] How did it compare to the first I don't think it I don't think it caught the magic of the first

[00:18:47] It didn't but there was still enjoyed myself physical compilations in the mouth. Yeah. Oh my god

[00:18:52] It's so good throws that glass of milk in these. What did you say like kill yourself Gollum? Yeah

[00:19:00] Like where are we with taking the bones out and put the bones back in like there were some very fun terms of phrase

[00:19:05] It's just because of Maya Rudolph. Yeah, yeah, it didn't add anything new though

[00:19:10] There was nothing like like the Beavis and by head sketch was in a second sketch to that

[00:19:16] What was the first one that they did part Simpson? Yeah. Yeah, and so they they they escalated that right?

[00:19:22] They made it even better in the second one

[00:19:24] They didn't do that to this and I think and I think this was a detriment in the first time

[00:19:28] They did it too. I do think that there's a problem of them being too dedicated to recreating

[00:19:34] What the vibe of hot ones is and there's too much like dead space and I try to fill it by having silly names for

[00:19:39] The hot sauces so I wish that like that's the only time well

[00:19:43] I mean, I want to write for us and all in my entire life

[00:19:46] But just sitting there and coming up with the name fake hot sauce would just be so much fun

[00:19:50] Yeah, you know Satan's asshole whatever they did like oh man. That's that's a good day at the office

[00:19:54] I don't care who you are. That's true. That's very true. I know I did read though a lot of people online loved this one

[00:19:59] I'm sure they did

[00:20:00] I mean people love my Rudolph's Beyonce and you know doing anything about Beyonce these days

[00:20:05] People online are watching hot ones too because it's an online show

[00:20:12] He's so good at his job that there are super cuts of times where celebrities stop the interview to say that's a great question

[00:20:18] Yeah, I've never been asked or or how did you find that exactly? And I remember watching him season one

[00:20:24] I was an early adopter of this and I know I was there before was I don't watch anything on YouTube?

[00:20:31] It was the only show because I like hot wings

[00:20:33] I like hot sauce so I looked it up for that reason and then I was like

[00:20:37] This guy and why is he bringing up like, you know

[00:20:40] T pains

[00:20:43] Rapper yeah, he loved interview. Rad. He's so many rappers to start with

[00:20:46] I mean, he that's his only could get really he really liked him. Well, it's funny

[00:20:50] He started with rappers then he went to comedians and then that's when like more famous people started and now it's like

[00:20:56] Everyone right like you're not you you're not famous unless you've done hot. Yeah, it's like hosting SNL

[00:21:02] It's like being on being asked to do that is like write a passage now

[00:21:05] Yeah, you got these so who's the most famous person that's done hot ones then?

[00:21:10] Didn't Obama do it. I don't think Obama know he did between two ferns

[00:21:14] That's true, which is still a huge thing

[00:21:17] I think I mean Kevin Hart's done it. He's probably one of the bigger stars in the world that's done it

[00:21:24] Has the rock done it?

[00:21:29] Will Pharaoh's done it multiple a couple times. Yeah, I mean there's plenty of a list are so yeah

[00:21:34] I just want to know who's the big I mean, I think there's there's a is there a Beyonce little it's I mean

[00:21:39] like who

[00:21:40] other than like

[00:21:42] Former president size and pretty much everyone I mean see if it's Spielberg hasn't done it right but like

[00:21:46] But it doesn't really do filming. Yeah, it would be hilarious just get older because like

[00:21:51] It'll buy an Eastwood

[00:21:54] This one's called the mule that's what SNL should do is like just do like pick up a panel who haven't done

[00:22:01] Okay connecting hot ones SNL. Did you guys see the Conan O'Brien hot ones? Oh

[00:22:05] Of course, I mean if you're not seen it has to it is it is one of the best hot ones episodes

[00:22:12] They've ever done one of the best things I've seen on YouTube. I can't

[00:22:16] When when you know Connor Brian's gonna go for it and you're still surprised

[00:22:20] That's the best as an aside to if you're a Conan fan

[00:22:23] You should watch Conan know Brian must go on max because it's hilarious for episodes easy breathing but looking at the the

[00:22:30] Looking at the the cast or the guests for hot ones in season 23, which is the current season the pantheon if you will

[00:22:36] You've got Sydney Sweeney John Oliver Barry

[00:22:40] Cole kill Cole Keoghan Keoghan. Thank you little dickie Quinta Brunson Finn Wolff hard

[00:22:46] Jamie Dornan Zayn Malik Gwyneth Paltrow ice spice Shakira and Conan O'Brien

[00:22:51] I mean you can you can argue that maybe you're not an ice spice fan ice spice is huge though

[00:22:56] Like these are huge huge guests and they get pretty much who they want to get

[00:23:02] Like in the history right Gordon Ramsay Paul Rudd Dave Grohl, you know

[00:23:06] They grow was Neil deGrasse Tyson has done it Burton Ernie. Do you know Shaquille O'Neal has done it?

[00:23:11] He's probably one of the bigger another great episode. If you've not seen it is the Jennifer Lawrence one. Yeah, she's fantastic

[00:23:17] Yes, and not just for the reasons you're thinking

[00:23:20] Yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's get back to Saturday night laugh

[00:23:23] Please don't destroy explore page

[00:23:27] Ben Marshall John Higgins and Martin Hurley

[00:23:29] He who also co-wrote the sketch with Will Steven are having dinner with their girlfriends

[00:23:33] Ago Wodham Chloe Feynman and Sarah Sherman and then they're forced to play a game where they must reveal their Instagram

[00:23:40] explore pages Maya Rudolph appears as

[00:23:43] UNISA confidence and Marcelo Hernandez appears as a waiter guys. Let's get out our Instagram explore pages right now

[00:23:51] And talk about what's on them Ben Ben Ben talk about what's on yours I don't I didn't know that was a thing

[00:23:57] I'm gonna guess is a lot of awkward videos. Is that the search function? No

[00:24:01] I still don't really understand what it is. So it it no it is

[00:24:04] It's when you go to your search page and that and that's what what is appears there as real

[00:24:09] So the little magnifying glass, yeah, just click that and it's gonna be a lot of pretty awkward videos

[00:24:14] Okay, it is

[00:24:17] Yeah, great job Nate

[00:24:20] I have a lot of pictures of Dua Lipa in mine. So do you really yeah?

[00:24:25] Funny clips Dua Lipa minor likely going to be dogs because Britney Spears like a lot of dog videos looks like I've got

[00:24:33] But Ben hey explain to you why you have so many explain to our listeners

[00:24:36] Why you have so many Nate has decided to try to ruin my algorithm by sending me

[00:24:41] So many cringy videos of like got people looking at the camera going hey girl

[00:24:50] I love you. Oh, yeah. No, it's just I got a lot of hot dog memes and

[00:24:56] basketball in some roast videos

[00:25:03] But I actually love this I thought it was hilarious it was it was a very funny sketch um kudos to

[00:25:09] Whoever was the makeup the neck makeup just awful. It just looks I mean by stuff by awful

[00:25:15] I mean it looks so good. It may be uncomfortable. Yeah

[00:25:18] Like I felt that phone in my throat the 9-1-1 call through his neck

[00:25:23] And the blurred swinging of her

[00:25:27] That was the top-notch the best

[00:25:30] Laughed out loud for sure yeah

[00:25:32] and this is I love when Maya Rudolph does like older characters like this to it when you

[00:25:37] You can hear it in her voice and just what she brings to it. Yeah, no this was great

[00:25:41] Can we talk again though? Please don't destroy gets escalation right this sketch just kept on escalating

[00:25:47] And it kept on getting better. I just like you knew where it's going right as soon as they say the guys and they're always like

[00:25:54] Just going to ruin the night

[00:25:57] But that's the thing though is you know where it's going and you want to see what kind of devices

[00:26:02] They're gonna use so throwing it into the soup or whatever was what's funny to me, right?

[00:26:06] Yeah, and then is there a bird like it was just they all three look at the bird right there

[00:26:11] There's also a great setup early on too

[00:26:13] It feels like an innocent part of the conversation because they're talking about going somewhere for like their honeymoon or something

[00:26:18] Yeah, just do false wait. This is why we're going to sue false false

[00:26:22] I actually really like this. I thought it was really fun

[00:26:26] Yeah, all right teacher PSA a group of teachers Maya Rudolph Ken Thompson Heidi Gardner

[00:26:32] And you just muked egg of Wodum punky Johnson James Austin Johnson Bowen Yang Sarah Sherman and Michael Longfellow

[00:26:38] Deliver an end-of-year public service announcement and declare that the students have officially won

[00:26:45] That's the that's it I just I needed to hear that I can spell it yeah

[00:26:51] Tsi-dd when it got pushed together

[00:26:53] She said it I laughed out loud and every time she did it I laughed out loud

[00:26:56] Yeah, that is enough for me to think this is a good sketch overall. It's fine

[00:26:59] That's the that I say this word about six hundred twenty eight times today

[00:27:03] Yeah, I will say this was an okay, it's fine I guarantee you if you talk to any teachers

[00:27:08] It's been passed around and they absolutely loved it

[00:27:10] And I'm sure it hit with them perfectly fine

[00:27:12] But I felt like it was it was just missing some kind of secret sauce to like really make it hit it kind

[00:27:17] Of felt like I was hoping for that that what ego said

[00:27:20] I was looking I was looking for three or four versions of that

[00:27:22] Yeah, where it's like this is really funny even if you're not a teacher

[00:27:25] I almost it almost felt like there should have been a little more specificity to it like it almost

[00:27:29] Didn't really feel like it dug in enough like I feel like there would have been a lot more that you

[00:27:33] And maybe it's because they're not them or teachers. Yeah

[00:27:36] So and I'll also I don't know why they went this route instead of just doing something that would have been like a much more

[00:27:42] convincing backdrop

[00:27:43] awful fans awful green screen

[00:27:48] It was really lazy bad green screen to the point that Chloe Feynman was where notes it worse

[00:27:53] Yeah

[00:27:53] It was really and like when they were moving the camera to like I hate when the green screen wiggles

[00:27:57] Because of like what they're doing the camera like at the very least

[00:28:00] Should have had just like a real fake backdrop and I wonder if this because this was a like they shuffled things around and they

[00:28:06] Actually did use this when they weren't gonna use it and maybe no maybe I will say I go did very well

[00:28:13] Yeah, she was the standout in this one for sure be otherwise this sketch

[00:28:16] I would just lukewarm it was good. It was fine. It was fine. It was it was

[00:28:22] Better than bad. I think you know, I didn't hate it

[00:28:25] But again, if you don't have a ghost character in there, it's really not like you said Brad

[00:28:29] I can see why educators would find this

[00:28:32] Because I think it's very much on point what their experiences is are right now is there in the school year? Yeah, 100%

[00:28:39] All right, British caveman one that Ben. I'm sure just eight

[00:28:45] All I could think about as I watch this is Ben

[00:28:48] This is what he hears whenever he hears British anybody's British fucking so stupid

[00:28:53] Oh, yeah, our listeners might not know this because I think this is a go flicks yourself

[00:28:57] Ben Ben frequently makes fun of the British accent and mainly though

[00:29:02] If there's like a woman that is British that these two find attractive other. Oh, yeah. No cuz they're

[00:29:14] Yeah, whatever he's making he's saying their accent is terrible not sexy

[00:29:18] It's not every accent was you doing it exactly. I this sketch they heard me the writers

[00:29:26] Responded to my letters and they made a sketch for me. I loved it

[00:29:30] This was no notes a bit of a throwback. It was just dumb. Yeah, right. Yeah, it was just fun and dumb

[00:29:35] It was very stupid Nat Geo airs a special look at British cavemen with James Austin Johnson hosting and then Maya Rudolph

[00:29:41] Bowen Yang Marcella Hernandez Molly Carney Chloe Trost Chloe Feynman and redis mugs Heidi Gardner Ego Woda Mikey Day and Kenan Thompson

[00:29:48] Appearing as British cavemen and Sarah Sherman making a brief appearance as a French cave woman, you know

[00:29:53] You know what? I was also thinking this would have been a better sketch for Mick Jagger to do a cameo

[00:30:01] Because Mikey Day appears as Mick Jagger gave me it was good. This was just so stupid. I loved it

[00:30:06] I thought it was okay

[00:30:07] This was one where like I did like the premise of it and I

[00:30:11] Appreciated how well they did the various British accents without actually saying any words

[00:30:16] That was one of the most impressive to me as far as performers go that that was funny to see

[00:30:20] But yeah, it was such a one-note, you know

[00:30:23] I see but I like I think that it's okay though because

[00:30:26] This is one of the rare times where I don't need any escalation because the variety was so across the board

[00:30:31] I like just I was waiting for everybody else to do their better

[00:30:34] There's like a category for me that it's so dumb. It's funny

[00:30:37] Yeah kind of sketch and that's what this was for me

[00:30:39] It was so dumb

[00:30:40] It was it was varied enough that I that I was on board

[00:30:42] It didn't never long

[00:30:43] I never quite hit that level for me cuz I do I do appreciate a good stupid sketch

[00:30:47] And this is it's right on the cusp I just wish there was something a little bit more I could see that

[00:30:53] A little weird it was fine ending with Sarah Sherman as a French person sure

[00:30:58] Yeah

[00:31:00] Loved it Ben just loves making fun of British people. I think

[00:31:03] But I loved I loved the stupid British accents

[00:31:07] It was just so great and they get whether you gave keen in the first the actual words. Yeah

[00:31:11] It's perfect. What was it? It's a little blot in it

[00:31:14] It's a bit hot in it. It's a bit hot in it. That's what it was

[00:31:18] All right next sketch

[00:31:19] Can you pick me up a pre-tape where Maya Rudolph plays a mom?

[00:31:23] Who has to make up excuses to pick her daughter up from a sleepover without embarrassing her?

[00:31:28] Mikey day Heidi Gardner and Kenan Thompson also appear this one may have been written by Ryan Spears

[00:31:34] He posted about it on his insta

[00:31:35] It didn't necessarily make it clear if it's because he wrote it or if or usually what his moments were

[00:31:40] He didn't mention anybody else either, so I don't know if it was a solo effort

[00:31:43] But yeah, but he seemed like he was involved in some capacity this

[00:31:46] Did you guys ever do that when you were a kid have your parents come pick you up from a sleepover?

[00:31:50] I did I did I did once and it's because the friends smoking in the house the friend that I was staying at

[00:31:56] He had a they had a baby brother who was not wearing a diaper and he pissed on my bag

[00:32:02] And I was like mom. I gotta get out of here. It's just ironic as adult though like

[00:32:07] That you're into that

[00:32:10] Please

[00:32:13] I actually really really enjoyed this and I love the escalation of it. What got me was the cicadas

[00:32:21] Like Kenan as the dad be like she's having a period

[00:32:26] But it would be I just thought it was it was cute I wanted ever it was that's the thing for me

[00:32:31] It was more cute than it was clever

[00:32:33] I I wanted it to be funnier and I thought I thought it was going to

[00:32:36] Escalate and get to a point where it was a little more absurd a little sharper

[00:32:40] But it did feel like it lean intentionally leaned into more of that like this one of those like it was just kids for parents

[00:32:45] Like me. Yeah, it was one of those soft things where it's like you get the heart of it

[00:32:48] And like you appreciate on a certain level and you could you know when SNL is doing that because the way it exactly

[00:32:54] Right when it is a soft sentimental end to it. It means you were never gonna get a sharp visceral take

[00:33:00] Yeah, which is fine. But again, I was hoping for more

[00:33:04] but for me like I

[00:33:05] The ones that I love that are like this are like the ones where they do the holiday stuff or like they they are showing

[00:33:11] Like the nice family movements and then cutting to the sugar family moments because the ends on a very heartwarming moment all the time

[00:33:17] Right and I like so I like that and this I was hoping for something like that

[00:33:21] But it just never quite got like that to be truly there

[00:33:23] There's so many things that they again. This is a playground

[00:33:26] Yeah

[00:33:27] Could have done any joke there and that's the thing too is they do so many different punchlines

[00:33:31] But like none of them were like absolutely laugh out loud hilarious me except for the cicadas

[00:33:37] We're here to arrest the girl also made me laugh

[00:33:39] but I I think this is a sketch where you could send to even your non SNL

[00:33:47] Fan friends, right? Oh, yeah

[00:33:49] Or your grandma or like this just seems like there's a lot of sketches that were yeah very friendly to like be able to

[00:33:55] Send your family like oh, you'll appreciate this

[00:33:57] Yeah, and and I don't know because maybe Maya Rudolph has four kids and like I don't know if she just

[00:34:01] Genuinely liked making this because she had this experience maybe but I liked it. It was it was saccharine right but yeah

[00:34:08] You know who my Rudolph's husband is right?

[00:34:12] Correct me

[00:34:14] By the way, I never win quizzes like that so

[00:34:18] I know I if you ever listen to our other podcasts go fix yourself

[00:34:21] You know the worst game player not great, but you do you try

[00:34:26] He doesn't usually get one right one right again, and that's it. He doesn't know a lot of things. I don't know

[00:34:33] Alright weekend update with Colin Jost and Michael Che

[00:34:36] We can update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week's biggest news like Stormy Daniels

[00:34:42] Testimony about having sex with Donald Trump Robert F. Kennedy jr.'s parasitic brain worm

[00:34:47] Kim Kardashian's Met Gala dress and a cruise ship worker attacking three people with scissors

[00:34:56] Now

[00:34:57] Every week we talk about what co-host Brad Omen

[00:35:01] Thinks about weekend update and it's it's the birdometer where he tries to to pinpoint exactly how good the interaction was between Michael Che

[00:35:08] And Colin Jost there's like a there has to be a certain camaraderie

[00:35:11] Friendship playfulness spanish or an action. Yeah fun happening between them this week

[00:35:18] What do you guys think the birdometer?

[00:35:22] I'm gonna type it in right now because we don't trust you know

[00:35:24] I don't trust you and then put your phone down and trust has just been abused in this podcast. It's very true

[00:35:28] We got we put it down

[00:35:31] I

[00:35:33] Always go first. I'm gonna let you go first this time. I really do go first a lot

[00:35:35] So I'm gonna let you get guests first

[00:35:38] This was hard for me. This one was hard for me because a I'm just not good at this in general

[00:35:44] But be also that I mean lately they have been on kind of a terror of

[00:35:49] Like the brown has been quite highly. Yep. Yep

[00:35:52] But I didn't think this is bad though, no, I thought it was pretty high and

[00:35:57] There's some good jokes here. I Michael Che

[00:35:59] He's just he's on I just love Michael Che being my good if he does what he's doing right now

[00:36:05] And has done for the past three episodes and he finishes the season. I'll be very happy

[00:36:08] I just he's just calling himself out. He's saying that I love this episode. This is Miami episode

[00:36:13] Like he's just had he just doesn't care. I love it, but but I do think it's lower than previous one

[00:36:18] so I'm gonna go with

[00:36:20] 79% 82

[00:36:23] Nate wins because it is unlike my phone 80

[00:36:30] Yes, yes

[00:36:32] So you brought the Michael Che thing that fits into a little bit

[00:36:36] But it would have been better if Jost was reacting to it

[00:36:39] He was doing it was very one-sided che reacting to the audience. Correct. Yeah

[00:36:43] No, there was still a little bit of back a little bit a little bit. They were both having fun though

[00:36:49] I want to comment that that Michael Che I am gonna miss him so much as a week

[00:36:53] I did host when he's no longer in that seat

[00:36:57] More so and I don't know if I would have

[00:36:59] Realized this when he became the weekend update guy, right?

[00:37:03] That where he's at now and the confidence he has and the fun he has

[00:37:09] Almost Norm Macdonald like at times especially with the jokes. He goes for he loves the growners

[00:37:15] The most like Norm MacDonald sense which and it's by far

[00:37:18] And I feel like he's only evolved in that last couple years. Yeah, and and I love it. I just love it

[00:37:24] I agree. Yeah, I agree. He will I mean obviously

[00:37:28] They're gonna do the 50th and they're gonna do with the last season and then maybe he'll move on beyond that

[00:37:32] But we're gonna get another year

[00:37:34] Yeah of Colin Jones and Michael J and I just can't wait for when when Michael J truly knows he's done

[00:37:40] And then that little run at towards the end. I mean who knows I do wonder if he'll be done after the 50th season

[00:37:45] I think so. It's it's gonna be there's gonna be so much evolution after that

[00:37:50] Yeah, I'm really interested to see what happens

[00:37:53] I'll be I'll be curious if Lorne Michaels really like has eye on retirement after 50 years if I'll let somebody take over

[00:37:59] He I mean he's really he is 80 one right? He's actually no hold it's but he's definitely up there

[00:38:05] Yeah, but but still does every time I see him. I'm like this dude still got it

[00:38:09] No

[00:38:10] I mean he clearly knows what he's doing and but they they did just set the 50th anniversary special for SNL will be happening in

[00:38:16] February of 2025 it'll be 80 in November

[00:38:19] And it will be on it'll be on a Sunday though because and that's what they that's doing a whole week

[00:38:23] Yeah, ever and some people are coming in like Sunday

[00:38:25] It's like yeah fucking Sunday cuz that's what they did when they did the fucking 40th to you assholes

[00:38:29] Like it's a prime time special. You don't do it on Saturday cuz no one's watching you want everyone to watch

[00:38:34] It's gonna be an incredible shift all I know is it's gonna keep on going

[00:38:43] Back to weekend update though one of my favorite jokes was Colin Jost

[00:38:47] Did the Marvel joke yeah, yeah, so good. It was just so it was really I love it

[00:38:52] When they met when he mentions his wife, I love the inside baseball stuff

[00:38:55] I mean, it's it's fun. Yeah, of course

[00:38:57] All right

[00:38:58] So we had a two guests at the weekend update desk the first one which was actually

[00:39:02] Alluded to in the Mother's Day opening in case you guys didn't notice that

[00:39:05] We have Robert F

[00:39:07] Kennedy jr's brain worm played by Sarah Sherman who stops by to endorse

[00:39:12] RFK jr. For president this was written by Josh Patton and Jake Nordwin with Sarah Sherman

[00:39:17] What did you guys think of Sarah Sherman's wild brain worm Sarah Sherman only does weekend update?

[00:39:23] Stuff to roast Colin Jost and I'm here for it every time Roasty Josty

[00:39:28] Yeah, although this didn't feel like it was a full-on. It wasn't a joke roast

[00:39:33] So yeah, I that was actually what I was gonna say

[00:39:35] You wish you should have more of it

[00:39:37] It was I was thinking it was gonna go there more and it didn't and it's but again

[00:39:42] I don't I don't know that it made it

[00:39:45] That's really badly. I still enjoyed this. It was fine. Yeah, I didn't this is one of my favorites

[00:39:49] Bits at the weekend update desk, I love that she was into it. It's a weird thing. The costume is really funny

[00:39:55] Not one of my favorites, but I still enjoy it. Yeah, she's very good at her job

[00:39:59] I would have of course loved some more Roasty Josty

[00:40:02] Yeah, it wasn't weird enough for me for Sarah Sherman. I get needed to be just

[00:40:08] especially when you're talking about a

[00:40:10] full presidential candidate

[00:40:13] Legitimately talking about having a brain work and wanting to eat five more

[00:40:16] Yeah, and saying that he would be perfectly fine. Oh boy Jesus Christ this fucking guy

[00:40:21] All right, Heidi Gardner appears as a woman who insists she's not mad

[00:40:26] She stops by to discuss Mother's Day gifts. This one was written by Sarah. Is it Sierra or Sarah? I always forget

[00:40:33] It's it's because it's because it's spelled like it could be Sierra, but it also could be a weird spelling of Sarah

[00:40:38] I'm gonna confess something to our listeners

[00:40:41] I have to look this up often because I forget and I even write down the pronunciation and then I still forget

[00:40:49] but I

[00:40:50] It's actually either

[00:40:52] It actually might be Kara. Oh, that's a third

[00:40:58] Well, we'd like to apologize maybe it's Chiara too, right? It's just anyway, very Irish Oh Sullivan

[00:41:05] And Heidi Gardner wrote this one. What did you guys think of Heidi?

[00:41:09] Gardner doing Heidi Gardner like she's done this character in different

[00:41:13] Variations and times so the the thing that that elevates this one for me is

[00:41:18] the physicality

[00:41:20] The her demeanor overall and and the the boxing wife that she's done before whatever. That's all voice this

[00:41:29] Physicality of like when she was trying to get up and leave but didn't actually get up and leave and had to kind of

[00:41:34] Fake yeah three times and though her body just like the jarring movements

[00:41:38] I was like I was really laughing the difference for me with this as opposed to the other characters is

[00:41:42] Doos the other character she's done are that the those other characters feel like they're coming from a place of

[00:41:50] Parody when it comes to like movie characters or like like care actual character who's seen this has like an air of reality

[00:41:56] I said this gave me PTSD

[00:42:00] Yeah, cuz cuz she nails like the tone the facial expressions of like we feel that because you know

[00:42:06] We're dudes and we've had girlfriends and also idiots. We've had wives pretty dumb

[00:42:10] So so yeah, it is it worked on that level for me. And that's why I still appreciate I'm not mad

[00:42:15] I'm not mad. Yeah

[00:42:16] No

[00:42:16] I was I was watching this sitting next to my girlfriend and I was laughing and being like we've had moment that

[00:42:23] Shit I yeah, no that's I've seen that I've literally seen that before and she by the way she was right

[00:42:30] Them is it mailer Damon. Oh, yeah

[00:42:34] That was a great little joke. Yeah, that was nice

[00:42:37] Yeah, exactly for those of us nerds. So I

[00:42:41] Understood that reference. I thought it was good. I thought it was fine. Like it was Heidi Gardner doing Heidi Gardner

[00:42:45] It was it was solid. I wasn't I wasn't blown away by it, but I did I did laugh

[00:42:48] I liked her performance also. She's very

[00:42:53] Real she's so pretty and so talented

[00:42:57] You don't have a chance stop sending the letters to

[00:43:01] Literally had a cease-and-distance that are sent to this podcast

[00:43:04] The British caveman sketch happened and now I'm just waiting for Heidi to respond to me

[00:43:09] Okay, it's one thing after another here boys. Thanks

[00:43:13] Alright guys the next sketch coffee commercial a taping for a coffee commercial with a famous actress played by Maya Rudolph goes off

[00:43:20] The rails thanks to caffeine and farts

[00:43:22] Bowen Yang Heidi Gardner and Chloe Trost also appear

[00:43:25] Did you guys know that this is based on a real series of commercials? I did with Lauren Bacall. Yes, correct

[00:43:31] These are real

[00:43:33] commercials featuring Lauren Bacall that do have a similar vibe except of course Maya Rudolph takes it in a much different direction

[00:43:38] This was another sketch that like it felt very silly felt kind of like a throwback. I wasn't expecting the farts

[00:43:45] I thought it was gonna be purely a caffeine like gradual thing more hyper speaking quicker

[00:43:51] But the farts added a whole other stupid dynamic to it

[00:43:54] I bet if we got to talk to Maya Rudolph and hopefully one day we will

[00:43:59] She is going to be like us and she's gonna say I still laugh at fart jokes

[00:44:05] Obviously right because there's just so many fart jokes are like just like with Maya Rudolph that she knows

[00:44:11] It's funny stuff the when they

[00:44:14] When when the turn hits and it's like, oh no, I've never had this before then I'm like, I'm so happy

[00:44:19] I'm so ready. Yeah for whatever is coming next because now I know what the turn is

[00:44:24] Fuck let's go, you know, and then of course running through it

[00:44:27] I wasn't expecting either it made me laugh and it got to the point too where the farts were like

[00:44:32] Echoing the tone of her voice

[00:44:35] And I one thing I appreciate about a good fart like one thing

[00:44:39] About a good fart a good fart scenario like this is they didn't use any of like the the familiar

[00:44:46] canned fart sounds like that you expect to hear like there's there's a certain sound board where there's lazy fart sounds

[00:44:52] They didn't use any of those

[00:44:54] These were all fresh for

[00:44:57] And I mean this genuine

[00:44:59] I hate there's like five or six fart sounds or like I've heard that fucking fart so many times before I'm sick

[00:45:04] Of it. These were great new farts. They had the sound editors get out

[00:45:09] Hey, buddy, we're going to eat some really crappy food

[00:45:13] We're gonna go we're gonna go to the bathroom at the subway platform and we need new farts

[00:45:19] The that one was you line got me really good. I know that was hilarious

[00:45:24] Yeah, that one was you. Yeah

[00:45:27] Also, it does remind me of the bridesmaids scene though where they have diarrhea and in just

[00:45:33] Like cuz Maya Rudolph talking about farts and all these kind of things and if you've not seen bridesmaids

[00:45:39] You are missing out on one of the greatest comedies of the last

[00:45:42] I can't imagine there's like more than five people who have I hope I hope

[00:45:46] You're surprised but nominal, but there is a scene in there where they get diarrhea and Maya Rudolph is a part of that scene

[00:45:53] Kristen Chenoweth is it or Kristen Kristen Chenoweth?

[00:45:58] Secret bridesmaids

[00:46:00] Melissa McCarthy Melissa McCarthy

[00:46:02] Some other great great actresses Wendy McClendon Covey one of the funniest scenes in a comedy that I think I've ever seen

[00:46:10] also

[00:46:11] Her her elitist dismissal of everyone in the room. Right? Who are you?

[00:46:16] She needs to go and like I'm the director like I can't go. I don't like this one. Yeah, no wait

[00:46:23] I like this. Yeah, Punky Johnson. That was great

[00:46:27] So yeah, so that was the coffee commercial did you like it or no? Yes, I did. Yeah

[00:46:30] Yeah, I like that was pretty good

[00:46:32] next sketch nurse

[00:46:34] appreciation a group of nurses played by Maya Rudolph ego Wodim Chloe Feynman and Molly Carney share why they love being a nurse also

[00:46:41] Features James Austin Johnson as dr. Jeffrey Reed and Mikey day as an elderly man

[00:46:47] What do you guys think of this?

[00:46:49] Sketch this like like the teacher sketch. I think this would this would kill amongst the nurses, right?

[00:46:55] Yeah, but it I I was married to a nurse

[00:46:59] So I get some of this but like it's it's not great it just seemed very easy

[00:47:05] Like yeah, and I don't mean like easy to write

[00:47:07] Just mean like the jokes themselves were just like like something that we could have come up with

[00:47:12] What was his name Curtis or something Curtis if you see the light go to it like yeah

[00:47:16] I talk about the

[00:47:17] Like if you were to have a focus group and say list the worst things that you probably would think about being a nurse

[00:47:22] Like working at a nursing these were the things you would hear right? Yeah exactly

[00:47:25] They didn't feel particularly clever or anything in nursing homes suck, right?

[00:47:28] And it is like the lower echelon

[00:47:32] so my brother's a speech language therapist at a nursing home and

[00:47:37] Every other area of speech language therapy is better than nursing him

[00:47:40] He works there because it pays the best right, but he recognizes sure

[00:47:44] It's like the worst part of health care working in nursing homes

[00:47:48] But like it's these are very basic premises. These are very basic jokes

[00:47:53] I did like the catheter joke like it's like putting a straw inside of another straw

[00:47:57] Like I did like I like that. There's there's some stuff here that was fine, but overall it's like

[00:48:03] You know I I looked at snow because these these people are literal comic geniuses like they're awesome

[00:48:08] Yes, and I wanted more it felt very stale

[00:48:11] Yeah, like it just yeah like it almost felt like something like that

[00:48:14] They were like forced to put in like guys. It's nurse's appreciation week. Let's get some out there for the nurse

[00:48:18] Let me say this we're gonna get to this but the comfort time sketch

[00:48:21] I would have included the cover time sketch over either this one or the

[00:48:26] I did think of that but I also did look at the the length and the cover time

[00:48:30] You have to get both the teachers and the nurse one and then you have two minutes and I'd still make that

[00:48:38] I would rather someone's all the good nights would be two minutes long and there's just like Lauren Michaels over there doing the expand

[00:48:44] It with his hands my rose vamping for two minutes at the end

[00:48:48] With vampire weekends stupid fucking sports jerseys

[00:48:53] That's just a weird complaint you have it like it makes sense like they're all

[00:48:58] Our weekend by the way, yeah

[00:49:01] Yeah, but I'm just saying but like it's just it's a band doing a band thing. What does matter?

[00:49:05] Yeah, I fucking grow up

[00:49:07] All right guys the last official sketch of the evening

[00:49:10] landscaping service a couple played by Maya Rudolph and Mikey day

[00:49:14] Advertise their unique landscaping company that only hires hopeless sexless socially awkward

[00:49:19] Zeroes as played by Kenan Thompson andrew dismuke's Devon Walker and James Austin Johnson with Chloe Feynman Sarah Sherman Heidi Gardner

[00:49:27] And Michael Longfellow also appearing as clients

[00:49:31] What did you guys think of this sketch? This was a 10 to 1 sketch. Yeah, this was very I thought

[00:49:38] Well, you really

[00:49:40] Yeah, for sure it had it had right the right amount of weird with it

[00:49:43] We're like mixed with like a live commercial parody. Okay. I

[00:49:48] Just didn't think it was weird like lately the the weird shit happens all the time

[00:49:52] No, I mean compare it comparatively but like I think in this episode

[00:49:56] It's a 10 well sure if they would have gotten to why the company exists earlier than they did

[00:50:02] I would have liked this better

[00:50:03] But I also didn't mind that it took them that long either because the appearances by

[00:50:07] The other the truth themselves were really funny to share and and as a small business owner as you are like in

[00:50:14] In the construction kind of world

[00:50:16] We know lawn care companies that are not that dissimilar to this

[00:50:22] There was a little bit of humor for me in that also I

[00:50:27] Knew two of these four guys in high school. You were one of them

[00:50:33] So I thought it's pretty funny

[00:50:35] It was great. It gives them the opportunity them meaning

[00:50:39] The four gentlemen that they got the opportunity to be spastic and weird that was those are fun characters

[00:50:45] I laughed out loud at Devin walkers when she's like, can you trim the hedge? Okay

[00:50:55] But yeah, no I like this and then and I like I said

[00:50:57] I liked the getting to the point of it, which was Maya Rudolph and Mikey day having this rocky marriage history

[00:51:03] Okay, so especially especially because that itself had escalation in it. Yes. No, it wasn't just this it happened two more times

[00:51:10] And it wasn't just with the one it was the other postpartum depression

[00:51:13] Our kid was in college so yeah, Mickey days reactions

[00:51:17] I so maybe it's not that it took so long to get there

[00:51:20] It's that they they didn't go then long enough because I was enjoying that so much. I wish it would have kept going

[00:51:25] Yeah, I I wanted to see more of that dynamic. So here's great solution

[00:51:33] We're gonna fix this guess yeah, I could get two more minutes

[00:51:36] That's what I say get two more minutes out of that one

[00:51:38] The nursing one out cut the education one out put the copper time and hey we're done and now

[00:51:45] Michael's we did it guys

[00:51:48] Alright, so we do have one more sketch to go over because there was a cut for time sketch

[00:51:53] Go to the YouTube subscribe to the YouTube. Yes go to the Saturday night live YouTube if you want to see it

[00:51:57] This is TT and Mario's new album now. Did you guys realize that this was a

[00:52:03] Recurring sketch. I know this was the second time they have done this sketch

[00:52:08] Do you know what the first time was? Well, we both just admitted we didn't know that so I'm gonna say

[00:52:14] I'm gonna ask if you can figure it out and then out of all the SNL episodes that there have been in the past

[00:52:18] If you say one of Maya Rudolph's appearances say that's correct

[00:52:23] But not when she hosted. Oh, no when she was a cast

[00:52:28] 2013 I just looked it up. No, that's wrong

[00:52:32] The best of TT and Mario it says it's not that's not in 2013

[00:52:35] That's when it was published the the sketch itself. Oh, that's it makes sense

[00:52:39] Yeah

[00:52:39] It was it was a another sketch was commercial parody about these two doing another album where it had Jason

[00:52:45] Bateman as the host and Amy Poehler as a cast member. It was in season 30 in

[00:52:50] 2005 and this one the first one was actually just have them doing

[00:52:56] Sex songs that had like gross and like funny angles to it. And obviously this one it's been 20 years almost

[00:53:02] They've aged the characters and now they're having sexy songs that are interrupted by the normal problems

[00:53:08] You know, it's crazy to me to think about is that Kenan Thompson was on the cast in the cast

[00:53:14] Yeah, when Maya Rudolph was and he hasn't aged a day

[00:53:17] No

[00:53:18] But like like they were in the cast together. Is that just crazy? It is nuts

[00:53:23] I do I wonder about that dynamic when I when a host

[00:53:27] Come or when a former cast member

[00:53:29] Especially somebody from that era comes back and Kenan is still there

[00:53:33] How many private conversations do they have about like remember when or or is it more of a just like a normal, you know?

[00:53:40] Hey great to see ya and we're back at it

[00:53:42] I'm sure Kenan has long time friendships with some people but I've never really read into that too much like

[00:53:48] Because he's been a part of so many casts

[00:53:51] Does he latch on to any one of those and still like he's is he calling up?

[00:53:55] You know people from

[00:53:57] 2007 cast or 2013

[00:53:59] To get together Kenan is such an interesting story because again this doesn't happen right?

[00:54:04] Is it very he's a unicorn in this and oh, but I have listened to interviews with him and people will always ask

[00:54:11] When are you gonna be done? Right? Like essentially because you're like 10 to 12 years past your like usually

[00:54:19] Go seven years, right?

[00:54:21] and

[00:54:22] He's like I'm gonna go forever. Yeah

[00:54:25] He loves doing it and like why would you why you know and and as we know as we watch and dissect every episode

[00:54:32] Kenan is a performer that performs at a high level ever so every and he is an

[00:54:37] Addition to this cast and I don't mean this as a slight against him either

[00:54:40] But like he's not the kind of performer who's like he's not a will farrell somebody

[00:54:43] He's not gonna go off and have like a movie deal where he's leading movies all the time like he'll appear in movies

[00:54:48] Every now and then he does when I had a TV show and his own TV show

[00:54:51] Yeah, it had his own TV show

[00:54:53] Yes, he did yeah and so and so like if he can keep doing he can be can do those things and he can keep

[00:54:59] Doing SNL like why wouldn't you sure he's getting paid pretty well. Yeah. Here's the other thing that I think is makes him a rarity

[00:55:06] He has recurring characters but only for the time period of like when the cast is together

[00:55:14] What's up with that? He did right for a while, but it's not like oh we're gonna do that

[00:55:19] Every every two years we're gonna we're gonna bring that back or every year he's gonna do one

[00:55:24] No, it's just when that core group of people is together

[00:55:28] Sudeikis and Fred Armisen and him

[00:55:31] That was great. And then now they don't do it anymore. He is one recurring that just keeps on living

[00:55:35] Who is that Reese do what and I'm fine?

[00:55:39] But that's just him. Yeah, yeah, and that's fine

[00:55:42] But again, he's got all of these where they're like time capsules

[00:55:46] Like he had recurring bit recurring bit recurring bit and they move on the other day because one of my favorite bits that he ever

[00:55:51] Did is the the scared straight sketches? Yes

[00:55:56] Yeah, because Sudeikis was the cop right so I wondered too and I'd have to look into this it's maybe this is some interviews but

[00:56:05] When the writers leave of those yeah, that's part of it too. They they don't hand those off, right?

[00:56:10] That's their sketches and I think that there probably is that too right where it's like

[00:56:14] I don't want to try to step into exes shoes to write this sketch

[00:56:18] But also these days, you know, Steve Castillo comes back and writes like you can bring

[00:56:24] Say we've seen this before where they'll bring a writer back and pay them just for a sketch

[00:56:29] Because they want to use because they've got a host or whatever

[00:56:31] So yeah, guys if you're if you're listening to the British caveman Ben Connors over here bring back scare straight

[00:56:37] Okay, that was that was actually one of the things that Vanessa Bayer talked about when she did her episode of The Good One

[00:56:44] And they talked about Jacob the bar mitzvah. Is it just good one?

[00:56:48] Because the podcast is good. It's just good one. Yeah, and so it's this is the podcast I'm talking about

[00:56:55] And so Vanessa Bayer talked about that about how like he Jacob went away for a little while because the writers that initially did

[00:57:01] It with him weren't there anymore

[00:57:02] Even though she was still on the show

[00:57:03] But then they came back and they did the farewell with right when everything so yeah

[00:57:07] So like the president is there to like do it if certain people come back and that kind of thing

[00:57:11] Because yeah, I would love to see another scared straight sketch. It's one of my favorite

[00:57:15] Yeah, that's a really great bit eight scared straights between 2008 and 2012

[00:57:20] Yeah, so what did you guys think of the latest version?

[00:57:24] With my Rudolph and Kenan Thompson, it's too long, but it's still clever. There's there's good stuff there

[00:57:29] But I didn't I didn't like to see him Mario. I like there was some

[00:57:33] Some really funny lines that we we watched this one together and the three of us

[00:57:37] We don't always watch song titles are very were very funny. Yep. I thought the

[00:57:42] What was it? I have sex go to sleep or something

[00:57:45] That was pretty good Michael Longfellow's dryness was a lot of other was greatness

[00:57:50] I thought actually it's so funny that they put Longfellow in this sketch because he has a very

[00:57:54] Bateman s quality about him so it kind of worked in that way

[00:57:57] Yeah, he can be he can do Teen Wolf 3. I thought it was good three wolf three wolf

[00:58:02] I thought it was good. It wasn't great, but it was a good

[00:58:06] Like we said it was better than the teacher sketch and the nurse's sketch and could replace them with with this one

[00:58:11] Yeah, okay. Yeah. All right, so that that's our episode

[00:58:15] Who was you? Well first what was your favorite sketch of the night?

[00:58:20] favorite sketch of the night

[00:58:23] Nate you want to go first. I don't know I'm probably gonna do the please don't destroy. That's what I was thinking

[00:58:30] But

[00:58:32] There wasn't a sketch in this episode that was fall down laugh out loud. There was some good sketches

[00:58:40] I do have a definite favorite though. You do it's British Cape man. I know I'm gonna go with the please don't destroy

[00:58:45] I like that one that one's close, but for me, it's coffee commercial. Oh

[00:58:50] Yeah, I loved my Rudolph in this sketch

[00:58:53] And I loved the escalation from it me me not knowing or thinking that I knew what the commercial was gonna

[00:59:00] Do going to the farts having the farts get increasingly more ridiculous the interaction with the other characters

[00:59:06] I loved her characterization of this fictional famous actress being

[00:59:11] Tengential to like a Lauren Bacall kind of thing sure I just really I just really liked how it played out and worked

[00:59:16] I just maybe laugh. Okay

[00:59:19] Now this may be a difficult question maybe who is your MVP? Well, he

[00:59:25] Was not here me out. Yeah, go ahead

[00:59:28] It's it's my real that's exactly what I

[00:59:32] But I think we're all we're on the same page here

[00:59:34] It's not because she went above and beyond it's because she was the one that was carrying everything hearing everything

[00:59:40] Yeah, hundred percent there. She wasn't given a ton of great sketches

[00:59:44] But she literally is she made she made a lot of the sketches better. She Kenan Thompson to everything

[00:59:49] He did. Yep in both the sketches that we like right?

[00:59:52] Yeah

[00:59:52] She was the thing that the magic in those sketch and then also I mean the monologue my god

[00:59:57] Yeah, no not too many. Yeah, I mean really pull up in

[01:00:01] Awesome it was amazing. She deserves it. She was great. Yeah, I didn't think it was a great episode

[01:00:06] But I thought Maya Rudolph was very good in this

[01:00:08] It's one of the rare ones where the episodes not great

[01:00:11] But the host is the reason it's usually when the host is great the episodes good. Yeah, she was great

[01:00:16] So yeah

[01:00:18] Wasn't a bad episode 100% agree. I'm glad we're on the same also cannot

[01:00:22] I mean let's get her a couple more times, you know in the next of years

[01:00:26] She was there promoting loot right her new she never said but I mean that's the thing that's time to yeah

[01:00:31] So what so what is Jake Jill? Jake?

[01:00:34] Jill Hall's got a new show coming out. Is that what it is that he's promoting doesn't is it roadhouse?

[01:00:38] Is that what he's gonna be talking? No, I think he's gonna they better do a roadhouse sketch

[01:00:41] It's all I'm saying I think he's got a new show

[01:00:43] But I don't know what it is because I'm not a Jill and Holly a Jill and Holly a

[01:00:48] As you guys are on Holick Jill and Holly I like the Holly act
