[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_01]: You know it feels like it sometimes yeah, it's uh

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Four years we've been four three for three years at least one something like that

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I started a lot of a lot of years ago

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_03]: His Chris Chris Tofferson ever been on SNL

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so I'm pretty sure he did die earlier today. Yeah, no thanks CNN. Thanks for the good news there, buddy

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just got a text no I texted you

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Christopherson three different people

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_03]: That's really yeah, no they don't have a huge blade fan how many of them were your parents to

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I know my dad took me like country western singer Chris

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Member of the highway member of the high women exactly

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh actually there is aside from Chris Christopherson presumably being on SNL at some point

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Nate can look up and see when that actually was there is kind of a famous way that's Brad telling me look up

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a famous moment actually that Chris Christopherson had

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That it was after Shanae Do Connor had that famous moment SNL where she tore up the Pope's photo live on TV during one of her musical performances

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a performance. She had where she was being booed by people

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: While she was on stage and Chris Christopherson like came out and like said something in her ear and talked to her and like she was fine

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like me like like basically just like hey, you know, it's alright

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Like now that it's 2024 if if like if see a came back on SNL and ripped up a picture of the now Pope

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_03]: People like all right. Okay. It's like me. That's crazy how much things have changed, right?

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey friends real quick like and subscribe

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris Chris Christopherson hosted SNL in the first season in the 24th episode in the first season

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: 74 71

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's way back

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And then there was somebody in

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: 1992 that did an impression of Chris Christopherson. Who was it in?

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_01]: 1992 I'm gonna say it's gotta be Phil Harman. It's a little ironic by the way that you did you just mentioned Shanae Do Connor because

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It was on the shanae

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: This same sketch though had a shanae Do Connor

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Impression I'm gonna say it's Dana Carvey. I went with Phil Hartman the answer is

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Bill Hartman. Yeah

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, so this is the 50th season of Saturday guys we made it it's a big it's a big deal

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a big deal things are already off to a big start because they announced the hosts last week

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the week before at this point the first they asked the first five and this is the first time in a long time

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a rarity. This has happened. They're doing four back-to-back episodes

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Usually three on yeah one or two off three on one or two. Yeah, exactly

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: They very rarely do four in a row like that because it's a pretty tall order

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But they do me more episodes this season, you know, they haven't said anything like that

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine that they they would

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: You know if they did it would maybe be only be like a couple like depending on how the timetable worked out or something like that

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially since they're going to be doing the big 50th anniversary prime time special in February

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That'll probably take up some of the normal bit of a chunk of slots. Yeah

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so this this is gonna be a big milestone season

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: There's probably gonna be a lot of special guests there already are in this first episode that we'll get to here in a second

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But before that Nate you've done some some work rounding up some of the changes that happened since season 49

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so let's let's first talk about the departures because there are every season

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There are people that leave the show between cast members and writers

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And so let's go over some of and I'd like to get your guys's feedback on some of these some of the cast members that left

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Punky Johnson who joined the cast in 2020 announced her departure during the offseason. So we've known about this for a little while

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: After four year tenure

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you guys think about Punky Johnson leaving? Do you think it's time?

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean she got four seasons didn't necessarily

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Catch a huge audience there. Yeah, she was never a big kind of favorite

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Though I did feel like she was slowly building a little bit of an identity, but she never found her niche

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she she seemed like she fit like a good bill as far as like playing certain characters and like helping fill out

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Scenes where they needed needed, you know certain archetypes that kind of thing

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But she didn't really have any famous characters, you know

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_02]: She never she had a couple fun moments at the weekend update desk with Mikey day

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It was one of my favorite

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so yeah, so it was a bummer to sphere go but like you can understand why she's not sticking around

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I could see like, you know

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Looking back you go. Okay great great comedian terrible sketch performer or writer

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: One of the things right for yourself to get on the show included that's never really that was not her strong

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, get that she it's not to say she's not funny

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, she's not funny for SNL and that's okay

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was time for her to go for yeah and probably a little bit overstated welcome

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_03]: one of the things that she so the apologies not overstate her welcome, but like the idea that like if she

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Was a comedian that was a good stand-up and then it just wasn't clicking

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like how did nobody be like hey, it's just not working right second year. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: she

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: The announcement came kind of surprisingly because she was asked during a Q&A

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Over the summer at a stand-up show that happened

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And that was when she had revealed that she wasn't coming back and according to some of the people they were there

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She had talked about being kind of miserable at the show not unlike what Devin Walker talked about when we saw him

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He she she specifically mentioned some things about

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Them apparently not wanting her to be so buff and maybe getting rid of her dreads and that kind of thing

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Not to be as much of a lesbian archetype, right?

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: That's really what it felt like and that's something that you kind of expect from SNL at this point

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So that kind of sucks

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But like if you and if you're feeling that pressure then like you don't want to deal with it anymore

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And like good for yeah like fuck that place go on a similar departure route

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, not without as much animosity it seemed because they they had a pretty nice

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You know farewell, but and I'm gonna put it up on Instagram

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and punky did too once she got a chance to actually talk about it

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: She was very nice and like

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Appreciative and respectful and that's the thing it probably jumps in that moment says things right hey

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Let me let me think a little Molly Carney announced

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They were leaving and that's one that I felt a little bummed by because I feel like even though

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: That they haven't made the same kind of dent in the way that punky Johnson didn't I felt like there was more

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Potential there and they were still kind of on the rise and figuring it out because they did have some really good stand-up moments

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that they also had a more distinct comedic presence

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They have a little bit of Chris Farley in them

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But but they also have a little bit of a Brian and Kate McKinnon too because I saw it again

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_03]: This gets into the the weeds a little bit with gender

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but when when Melissa McCarthy played Chris Farley and there was a bit of a crossover there, you know

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: You've got you've got a

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: nationally-born female person that is transitioning and

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That that trans person is able to do so much if you let them

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But the idea that like again same thing with punky Johnson like hey cut your dreads. Don't be as buff

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I wonder how much that played for them because Molly had

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: There was there's there's like you just said there's so much room for that and

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_03]: There's so many different characters that they could play. Yeah, I wish I would have gotten to see that

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, especially because one of Molly's and I apologize if that is like I don't mean to be weird about like the whole Melissa McCarthy playing

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, but it's just gender's hard for me to I'm a straight white male

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what I'm doing one of Molly's best bits was when they played that lieutenant governor

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, who was doing secret like grinder was gay comments awesome. Yeah, it was hilarious

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they were great if anything it made them more diverse and able to play other characters

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time they struggled to find a niche and really latch on to I do also wonder if it's a writing problem

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. Yeah, punky Johnson clearly didn't write for herself. I'm not sure that Molly

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Wrote for themselves. Yeah, I don't and again that stuff that I just don't think will ever really know like what

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe they did right and it was just wasn't good. I don't know. It's right

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_03]: There's so many behind the scenes and politics. I'm sure play a role. There's so much going on there

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, probably the one that is the most

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Confusing to me. Yeah was Chloe Trove. That was joining the cast in 2023

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: She had a great out here

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I think what I what we understand asked not to return. Yeah, that that was the weirdest thing

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Chloe said this in her instagram post as well that she was not asked to return. So that's the craziest thing in the world

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Watching and maybe okay. Listen. We don't know again. Maybe she's a bitch, right? I don't know

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe there's really interpersonal diameters that were but if you're looking at what she did on screen

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: She was wonderful these especially for a fresh season. See like she fit in so well

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_03]: She was across the board kind of like first year. Wow. Yeah, so I just was so shocked

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because what she could do that was really I think important on this cast anyway

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Is people don't understand how much music plays and musical roles and national numbers play a role in sketch comedy

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially when she has a voice and she can actually sing it. So you can pull some of those off

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It's talented and really sing really important. It lends even if you're playing it straight when you're singing

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's hilarious. Yeah, yeah, because you're so strong

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly was I just thought that she was a breath of fresh air as far as the musicality and for somebody to be asked not to return

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_03]: They're like in my head. I'm like, well, okay. There must have been some interpersonal dynamics there. Yeah

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I do wonder what happened because as a featured player like you could couldn't ask for a better debut

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she had some prominent sketches crazy good some hilarious stuff that was like her own sense of humor

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: um the the the timothy shalamet orphan or

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Cassidy orphan Cassidy sketch comes to mind that that was hilarious. That was dark. It was weird. It was funny

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so yeah, I do wonder if maybe it was a thing where

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: She wasn't getting along maybe like with certain writers or something or but yeah

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It was it was a bummer because I would have liked to have seen more from her

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then a couple writers are three of the writers are not returning either

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Alex English was asked not to come back. We don't know why

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Um after three seasons on the show Vanessa Jackson

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She was on seasons 47 through 49. She's gone as well

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Then gary richerson who has been a staple on the show since 2017

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, if you listen to our podcast, you know, I try to do as much

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, we try to include the writers of the sketches when we combine it

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And gary richerson is a pretty pretty known writer on this and he's gotten a lot of sketches

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He's not coming back as well

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be a though because he's got other projects. He wants to get done

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You write on s l for a couple seasons and typically you can become a writer at other places or you're starting to work on some other major projects

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So, um, but let's talk about the additions. We've got three new cast members coming on

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Former groundlings performer ashley padilla. Mm-hmm stand up comedian

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Emil walken is that how you pronounce that walk him?

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm walking here. Oh boy. Uh tiktok comedian and actress jane wickline

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And so this is interesting because jane

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Her kind of claim to fame is not in one of the major sketch comedian troops or

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: No, but but but she is but she is part of a very famous live comedy show that's on tiktok called staple view

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So even though it's a different medium. It's still a similar background. It feels like an evolution though

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It does it really does. Yeah where where comedians are being found how they're cultivating a voice

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, how they're how they're getting known right and so

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so she joined and then we've got three new writers

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_01]: ali leviton mas paracon

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And carl tart carl tart is known for being a featured player on the 2016

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Party over here on fox sketch comedian sketch comedy show

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That was on fox that was executive produced by these former snl stars former snl stars. I'm gonna say

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_02]: it was executive produced by

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Andy samberg

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And jason sedacus seph mires of the lonely island. Oh, okay

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_01]: He was executive produced by paul shear in the lonely island last of first season and he was a

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: writer and

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_01]: A performer on that sketch comedy show and so he's got a little bit of snl connections there

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Um ali leviton her dad is uh steve leviton very famous. Yeah

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Comedy writer

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Known probably most predominantly for modern family modern family. Yeah head writer and creator

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But also has done quite a bit for herself as well

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_01]: She co-wrote molly gordon's upcoming directorial debut small parts. Have you seen that? I haven't

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I do like it is. I'm gonna say

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Nepotism and then moss paracon is a stand-up comedian writer who has worked on the patriot act with

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Assam and ash patriotic to be vise-buh-head reboot the other two which is one of brad's favorite shows

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And velma so

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Then uh, oh yes, and then on top of that we did have a few promotions

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Marchella Hernandez michael longfellow and devin walker are all now all regular cast members

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I sincerely still cannot believe after we

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_03]: witnessed

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Devon walker for listeners of the show explain a little bit about what you're talking about there

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Devon walker at a stand-up show in chicago not that long ago

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh was absolutely adamant that he was miserable at snl. Yeah hated it

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh said out loud

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_03]: It would be a lot easier if I was a white guy

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_03]: It just he just he had such disdain for the show and I kept thinking

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this is either a guy who's gonna quit or or once the producers or lauren finds out that he's

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: openly saying he hates himself and hates being there

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Like how can this tenure exist?

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: But a lot of things can happen, you know when when devin comes back

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It sits down in new york and he was in this episode a lot. Yeah, I was yeah

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I was gonna say it seems like he almost is reinvigorated because he has big roles in a lot of these sketches and

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Not even we're good, but

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But not nice fall. I know

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, so that's that's where we are going into season 50 of saturday night live

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Can I ask you guys a question a little bit about season 50? No

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I'm gonna do it again

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: We're all very excited about this season a so I was honestly. I was even if it's season 47

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We'd still be excited or 51 or whatever we get excited about us now

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is season 50. We've been talking about this season 50 for a couple years now

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Since the exception is this dumb podcast. We've been talking about it

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you think it's going to meet our expectations or could it meet our expectations? There's a lot

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it can meet anybody. Well, I think what that is

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's I'm a little afraid of Ben. Well, here's the thing. I I don't

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I I'm trying to keep my expectations in check because

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Even though it's season 50 and there there are bound to be big surprises and cool things that happen

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's still just another season of snl and the the best and worst thing about snl is that it is

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Unpredictable as to like when it's going to be good. How good it's going to be and

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: How many bad things are going to be? There's always going to be bad things

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Is there going to be good things? So there's going to be average things that's still going to happen during this the show

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No matter what you it's probably going to feel a little more special because the milestone season and I think that that big

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Primetime special they do in february. It's going to be a lot of fun just like the 40th anniversary special was which I loved

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that as long as we keep our expectations firmly in check

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not going to be any more or less disappointing than any other given season of snl and

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_02]: To lead into our discussion about this season 50 premiere

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's also important to remember

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_02]: That historically the season premieres of setter night live often are not great

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: The writers and the cast are both rusty because they've been off for several months. They've been doing their own

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Shit, they haven't been in the shows, you know normal routine for a while. They're still getting their groove back

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So the premiere usually isn't all that great

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think it's fine that this episode wasn't fantastic

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And we'll get on the specifics here in a second and I don't think it bodes

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You know any sort of negative negativity for how the season is going to go

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Correct. No, that's fair. But but at the same time the political cold open should never be the best sketch

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Of the show

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We should be happy that it was a decent political

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was the best political open they had in a while

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course I have one bit more of trivia for you

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So our our guests are hosts on this episode on episode one season 50 gene smart, right?

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, if you guys watch tax yet, I just finished the first season. It's great. Yeah, I really have a

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But she kind of made a name for herself or at least

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Pernod, they're kind of majorly that I heard of her

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, was a show in the 90s called designing women and this was a sitcom

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: On cbs. I think Delta Burke

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Delta Burke was on there

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And there was a former snl star

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That also starred on designing women in the last two seasons of the show

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Who was the former snl star that starred in season six and seven? Here's another hint for you

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: She starred as gene smart's character her character's name was charlene as her sister

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: What was the year of those seasons?

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna guess like I have so much information not that 90 97

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_01]: No, probably before that probably like

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Also like late 80s

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it started in the late 80s. Oh, sorry. I thought you said designing women was 92

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean designing women was like, I don't know

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Designing women is I thought that was enough to know that I think it started in the 80s

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think it went to 90s right so hold on designing women went from

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: 86 to 93 so yeah

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So it'd been like 92

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: That means it's somebody from like the the cast of the 80s or or 1990

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say well no because if they're playing gene smart's sister

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say it's jane curtain

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have a guess?

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Benjamin Conowitz

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that if it's

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Chan hooks

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's a very good guess actually

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: The winner

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We ding ding ding we have a winner. Oh

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It is ben conowitz. Yeah, boom once you see that I was like, oh, yeah

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: She absolutely seems like she could be a genius

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: She played uh

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Gene smart's younger sister charlene her younger sisters naive younger sister from popular boulevard, Missouri

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Who became a receptionist at sugar bakers after divorcing her car sales?

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: jane hooks

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd not thought about for a while. So there you go. All right. We ready to get into this. Let's do it

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: season 50 episode one

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Harrison trump rally's cold open written by mike disenzo, alice and gates

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: James awesom johnson

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_01]: moss paracon

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Streeter sidle and ken sublet a sketch featuring split rallies between

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Kamala Harris played by maya rudolf welcome back maya and tim waltz played by jim gaffigan. Welcome to the show jim

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Donald trump played by james awesom johnson and jade events played by bow and yang

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_01]: With andrew smuks is david murray andy sandberg as dug mhoff and danah carvey

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Doing his best joe biden

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: This was really bringing out all the guests

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We had a lot there

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_02]: They had a lot of catching up to do after missing a summer of nonsense

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And in listeners of the show if you're new to the show, we're so glad to have you

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_01]: But listeners of the show will know that

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Usually we are not a huge fan of the political cold opens not because we don't agree with the politics not because of any of that

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just they're usually pretty lazy. They're just not great sketches

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: particularly for

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: The rest of the episode are also kind of there's a little bit of

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Logistical problems with us as well

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: We tend to believe that some people judge the whole episode based on a cold open

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And so when it's not good people think the whole episode isn't good or they don't give it a chance

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_03]: They tune in to see what snl said about this. Oh same dribble

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Click it off and now snl's bad

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like we know that it's so much better than if you just stick it up

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_03]: To weaken update just watch up till we get up to nice promise. It's good. Let me say this

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Maya Rudolph is fantastic. Of course. Of course

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Dana Carvey is great as joe bide, but but go on

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Jim gaffigan is

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Incredible

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I was wondering who they were gonna get and he was fantastic vision

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, Tim waltz. I mean

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_03]: perfect cast

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And now to me humble reddit

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: He wrote an article

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I will say that Jim gaffigan was on my list of the five people who I thought should potentially play tim waltz

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Along with particularly because he looks like him, right? There's there's a sense of like

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Steve martin passed steve martin passed

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, Jim gaffigan definitely looks like him. My only hesitation of hiring him is he's never hosted

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: He's not known for doing impressions exactly

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, that's why he was and he's not really known for sketch comedy

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So it didn't seem like it was but the best choice, but he besides stand up. He's a great actor

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's that's why I was yeah, so happy and he's fantastic. He is fantastic in the role

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so glad that they got him to do it. I hope we get to see more of them because I felt like it was too brief

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I would have loved to watch and I think that you're gonna right like just like andy sandberg and him

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: We're gonna see them pop up for sure. Yeah, what'd you think Andy sandberg?

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's you know, it's Andy sandberg doing like an easy win

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, honestly, let's say what it is

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't have to do much of an impression to play dug emhoff

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying is do we really need him to do that then? No, no, I liked it

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But I also I loved the the thing that I didn't think about is is when hopefully kamala Harris wins

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the first first husband right so he's like so this year's christmas theme will be hannukkah

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is my favorite great joke, right? Like that's and you want someone like sandberg doing a joke

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly because sandberg is very jewish. Yes

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just so funny to me that like we've never really thought about I've never really thought about that aspect of like

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Normally the first lady like does decorations and has like causes and like what's what's dug supposed to do

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't get it. Like is he gonna he's gonna garden like I don't know

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope he does I hope he leans in

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Wholeheartedly and just like it just has make a wish kids and design maybe he does decorate for hannukkah

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: um, uh, but yeah, and so this was

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: This was decent for political cold open. Absolutely. It was not uh worthy of 13 minutes

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It was it was long because of they're introducing every cameo, right? I sure but like that's the it's like you don't need it to be

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That long though. I mean, it's just that's three sketches worth basically

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: You can have three sketches in the place of that cold open

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_03]: But to be fair in this episode I didn't want three more sketches

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we'll get to this when we get to it

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But there are two sketches that didn't make the cut that should have

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That would have changed my mind about the episode. I also think that sml knew right that this was the thing people were waiting

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly and so they were trying to give milk

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And this this has become a trend since the will ferrell george w bush days

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the the debate sketches especially the political stuff people watched they became huge for cold opens

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They became the real draw at the top of the show

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You know and so like that's been a staple for a long time now. So you just you just deal with it, you know

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: That's that's just where we're at. It's very fair. All right moving on monologue by gene smart hosting for the first time actress gene smart

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Talks about hosting the season premiere of snl 50 how she likes being in new york and her career before singing

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I happen to like new york

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But do we want to back up just a little bit here and talk a little bit about the um

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_01]: The the bumpers, you know the oh absolutely

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We should absolutely talk about the opening credits because these opening credits are cool as hell freaking awesome. They're super

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We usually don't talk about them. No, but these are really cool like they're they're super stylish

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I love how it weaves back and forth in and out of sets on studio eight stage is video work

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And into new york like it's a great transition between like the what you love about snl

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: What you love about new york

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: They look incredible and appropriate use of slow mo to highlight the actor

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: For a brief second. I love that and then it right right back into either the set or new york

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the cast is having fun too, which I wonder wonder there was an energy to it

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this this one more than the previous one

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It really felt like it leaned into like each of their own personal energies

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You know like having sarah sherman like driving the bus like that was great

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh chloe tropes doing her dancing like our doctor's

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Chloe Feynman chloe seven year chloe Feynman having a lot of fun in her dance and stuff like that

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was just there was a lot of personality. I also really like that they gave keenon thompson time square like putting him everywhere

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like yeah, he's here in that

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean you get 20 seasons. He's 21 now. I think 21 seasons in

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He gets that hey his is time on snl can drink

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah the I watched and I texted you guys I was like man the new snl open credits are fucking cool

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no it was awesome. All right moving on then to monologue. What did you guys think of cheese farce monologue?

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I think my favorite bit was when she said oh, there's my piano. Where did I leave that was funny? I like how she uh

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_02]: All of a sudden said yeah, lesbians really like me

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which is 100 true

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But um, I I liked it and in a but like not because it was particularly funny

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It just had this nice endearing song was kind of endearing

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: A little poignant just a very nice like hoping like just like seeing that like how about loving new york and it was just very sweet

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I really like sweet. Um, there was a joke. Um

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She had two that I laughed at this was the first sad

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I've been wanting to do snl since it started

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: This just happened to be the first saturday that I was available which I thought it was a great

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Big boy a little bit. You know, uh, the trash turns to that she said the trash

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Changes colors or whatever like the leaves. Yeah, that was great. Oh, I love that. Uh, she said to you

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I used to think that uh, I didn't know it was live because I thought it stood for saturday like last and then I watched

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like well, that can't be right

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what it felt like, um, I'm a fan of the show the marvelous mrs. Maisel

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It felt jean smart felt mrs. Maisel a little bit in that moment. Yeah, like I mean honestly, new york very kind of

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit biting but also sweet like in a way that was

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Female comedian from yesteryear. Yeah, does that make sense? Like and that's because that and that's kind of the

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The character she plays on yeah, I like to an extent like just a more rude blunt version of that kind of character

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and so it was I was I was fine with that cold open or sorry that that that monologue just because

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_03]: As you know, like I talk about like oh, what is the host going to be comfortable and will that what will that say about the show

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Right and jean smart obviously been doing this a long time. She took her appropriate time

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_03]: She didn't rush she wasn't nervous. Yeah, or if she was she hit it very well

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought okay at least this is a steady host that's gonna do something

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Or at least maybe take some chances because she can because she's got she's established

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it felt authentic to her right which is I think the the task that's important

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Is to feel authentic to the actual host. I like that. All right, move it on

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_01]: 100 000 other pyramid. Yeah, 100 000

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh numbers that's a lot of numbers

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I love it. I looked over at nade as a

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_03]: One billion dollar hexagons

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: 100 000 pyramid

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_01]: uh michael strayhan played by devin walker host the game show with celebrity guests the hawk tool girl

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Bad bunny played by marshalo harnandez in north carolina governor mark robinson played by keithan thompson

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a meal walk-ins first appearance as a cast member playing the turkish

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: shooter

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Ben, what did you think of this one?

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's shoehorn everything over the summer into this

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Right now

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I was never more quickly embarrassed because of a sketch. Oh well first of all

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Then this one you you hate so much

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_03]: That the hawk tour thing is still a thing if honestly if you can take that honest that honest hatred

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_03]: If you can take that to the side, do you still feel the same?

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Half of the sketch is solid. I honestly think which have the mark robinson stuff is pretty funny because that's that just happened

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: The crazy shit is like hey let's shoehorn in yeah the turkish that was an olympics thing

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a fucker you do like I was already gone by that point like because of the hawk tour stuff and because the chimp crazy thing

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't know what we're doing like like

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Chim crazy chim crazy is not tiger king. It wasn't that big

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what it is. What is it?

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a documentary on max that follows a woman who is like obsessed with like these chimpanzees that she has

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: um, but it's

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The the shoehorning is just so yeah

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's and this and this happened several times this episode too where they clearly like

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Kept stuff from the summer and they're like well, let's let's do this and let's do this

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's like it's so old like it's over like hawk tour was over

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It's I calm down the same the same week and like yeah

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Sure her podcast is super popular right now

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll give her credit for having the title talk to us is fucking great

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great podcast title for a stupid girl. I heard it. I don't know this is true

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's currently trending like as of today like the like behind joe rogan and one of the third most popular podcast

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's insane good for her good for her

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope I hope she gets a lot of money tricking stupid people in the thing

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_03]: She has something to say but also that means that she is still relevant and so is the guy from north Carolina

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Everything else. What are we doing?

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the it just and it felt so forced and honestly at the very beginning I was like, oh sweet

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna do a fun celebrity impression cavalcade

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not gonna use the usual family feud framework

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna be cool and then they did this and it's like fuck man

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: What you guys set up a job? Yeah, devon walkers michael strann

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. I mean he worked for what it was supposed to do

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't the star of the sketch anyway, you know

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But keen in this mark robinson that was really funny martin lehrenandez has a great bad bunny impression

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But but what can you do with bad bunny really? I mean, right?

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_01]: He says hi and that's about all you can do. Yeah, you know

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this was just the sketch was just not good. I was so disappointed with it and it was just a piss poor way to start

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a delete off sketch, right? Oh, I'm like, okay game show. This is familiar territory

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03]: They can crush us and honestly like you I'm like, oh cool

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: This is going to be an impression off. What a great solid easy thing for them to do that will just crush

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And instead they went this route. I'm like, what the fuck are you guys doing?

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know when a sketch isn't great when the writers have not come forward online and said this is my

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: sketch

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Just saying it's written by hawk tour

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on pre-tape spirit halloween written by shooter sidel mickey day mike descendo and jake nordwin

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: This is an ad for the one store that will always be their spirit halloween

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It features the first appearances of ashley padilla and jane wicklinus cast members

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I liked this pre-tape. It was not

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_01]: innovative it was not doing much

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: But I laughed so because it it caught on to a cultural phenomenon that happens

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Particularly where we're at in the rust belt

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got a lot of empty retail space and there's gonna be six spirit halloween's within a 20 mile radius 100%

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And so there was enough to this that it was observational comedy. It was not groundbreaking

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_01]: There was nothing i'm not saying this is great

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It just it made me laugh enough. It did it made me laugh here's the

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I felt like I was having deja vu

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I felt like this was so cookie cutter that i've seen this before

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right like it's just this is very paint minor not that it's not a bad sketch

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not but i've definitely seen it's just it seemed a little over the plate a little no

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, they they've I still liked it though. Yeah, they've done formulas like this before but like, you know

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It works, you know

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the same reason they do game show sketches and talk show sketches over and over again

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I did not mind it at all. Yeah, I actually thought it was really funny

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I I think I liked it even more so because they kept an earnest tone that made it seem like it was this like

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Sentimental charitable like look how much kali but yeah, so and we'll be there

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And we'll help you after six weeks and then we're gone

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what I liked about it is the

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: After they had a

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: They had a theme that they were sticking with and a joke that they were coming back to yeah, and it worked for me in that regard

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So I thought I was creative enough

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Um

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: For a pre tape. I enjoyed it. I laughed actually sent it to a friend as as hey, this is a good sketch

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And especially because we're recording this podcast from uh, the midwest where spirit halloween is literally everywhere

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we are there bread and butter. I'm not sure if

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_03]: On october 20th

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_03]: If you could take a poll do you think there are more spirit halloweens or dollar generals in the united states?

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got probably dollar generals. Yeah, yeah, but

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean spirit halloween's spirit halloween the Pepsi to their coke though. Oh for sure

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_02]: 100%

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: All right moving on

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: textbook writer a textbook writer played by gene smart meets with publishing executives to discuss an issue

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: With her math textbook

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Can I can I get something out of the way here?

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I did not understand

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: What the first joke was okay, just I don't wear t-shirts. I had this written down last night because ashley

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We watched this together and after the sketch was over she goes

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Why did they make that first joke?

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it feels like they were trying to break the ice with something that was just funny right off the bat

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But it it felt so weird like it landed to dead silence

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly and so I think and I told ashley at the time

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I think what they're trying to do is just show right off the bat

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That the scholastic people are mean business buttoned up in serious. Yeah, but it didn't work at all

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it was like oh, they're setting something up for later

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It was super awkward

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And but part of me also wonders though if it was a logic thing too because technically that shirt she's wearing

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Isn't a t-shirt

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So fucking weird. Yeah, do you think that's what it just made ego wotem's character seem like a bit

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's uh ego wotem, but like

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Leave that in you know, you never cut when resroom. They can't let go

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, actually and it's not something I forgot. Um

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_02]: They can't lego ego

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Well now we're leaving all this

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Actually hear what we talk about

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So I wonder if it was supposed to be to set ego up as you know, this kind of bad bitch boss

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Bossy. Yeah. Yeah, I I really did think that that because I didn't I didn't notice the blouse thing

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I just thought this is

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_03]: They're gonna after I watched the whole sketch. Oh, they tried to set it up as a

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_03]: staunchy kind of like yeah, buttoned up just dead in its tracks

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It did

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_03]: The air got sucked out of the room and then and then that honestly that opening line made the sketch harder to get into

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, I think that there was a number of issues in the sketch because uh,

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_02]: This this was the sketch. I felt like gene smart faltered the most like she mumbled some lines

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a couple punchlines

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It feel like she totally fumbled that like we're supposed to be funny and it was like what was that

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_02]: She had a lot to do though

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_02]: She did um and and I do because I do think that she she made up for it because when she was reading the

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The the problem was funny. She used her voice, which is a very signature trademark voice very well

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's the kind of sultry voice you want reading romance novels

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_03]: The best of it was when the entire diatribe

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Almost of like the romance and then is then at the end she's like what's four minus six? Yeah

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_03]: That was the funniest but I laughed hard at that because that's silly as shit

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And I love that they it fits the premise so well. Yeah, they there was

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_03]: There was less of that throughout the rest of the sketch. So yeah, like they didn't really go for it

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I didn't right. I also they tried to do a visual joke too where like the book cover

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't see what was on the cover and honestly that's logistics like she just didn't turn it up

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Or they didn't cut the camera too or whatever so that didn't work

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But also I just feel like a lot of the stuff they were going for was like, oh

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: There's so much here. There's so much to chew on. Yeah, and they're nibbling around the edges

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Like really go for it. Right? This is serenity live. You can be edgy, you know, but they just

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know it like

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It was just really weird that they didn't really go for it. That's all yeah

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So, um, we don't usually talk about the musical guests here, but

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Hacks co-star gene smarts hacks co-star

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Hannah Einbender helped introduce jelly roll after the sketch indeed

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Who is her mother Lorraine Newman?

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_02]: From the original cast of serenity live in 1975. Yeah, and then interesting so

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_01]: She comes back she gets her time at snl as well as her mom did

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe she'll eventually host as well. She should because she's great on hacks as well

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And let Jim gaffigan host too now that I'm thinking about it. Yeah as to waltz, uh,

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Barghetti's coming back next week already. Uh, Nate Barghetti

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I prefer the uh back at you

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Barghetti, which is actually how we pronounce it in Italy. Hey, Barghetti. You're not from Italy

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, his first name is Nate. I think he knows

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I know

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Nathaniel Barghetti

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, uh, we can update with Colin Joseph Michael che we can update anchors

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Colin jose to michael che tackle the season premiere

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Weeks biggest news like I said, I'll kick him off. It's 50th season

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_01]: New York City's mayor eric adams indictments and scientists saying an asteroid will become earth's

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_01]: mini moon

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, ben can you do us a favor and explain to our new listeners?

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And maybe just refresh our old listeners what the predominant is

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, uh much like the

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_03]: tomato tomato potter

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_03]: What tomato tomato potter just say tomato meter man

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_03]: meter tomato

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Rotten tomatoes has a score

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Tomato meter

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Actually you should have pronounced it i'm so sorry

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know how all right. Yeah, Barghetti's

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Rotten tomatoes has a score tomato

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_03]: To 100 on uh on on how good a movie is

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh brad has the birdometer and this is a very nuanced

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_03]: score of how well collin jose and michael che interact with each other and

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Through a little bit of knowledge now from last season

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_03]: We know that the better the jokes are it does actually improve the birdometer a bit

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But by and large it is literally just the if there's a side eye

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_03]: If there's a bit of a laugh off camera

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_03]: If there's a little bit of nudging and winking and nodding

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_02]: It's about the camaraderie between jose and manly but you did say there's a little bit

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But the quality of the of weekend update from them overall probably in my opinion sways it up to 10%

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It is the worst

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Of scientific meters of all scientific meters. Yeah, this is just his gut feeling and it's and and this is me

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Saying it with a big gut

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_03]: He's got a big gut

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And so uh brad will you please take out your phone and then put it down because we don't trust uh what you say

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So zero to 100

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And here's the thing is you also have to understand you gotta leave some room for growth here, right?

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And so

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I am gonna pick i'm gonna go first here. All right

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to put I didn't think this was a great showing

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought some of the jokes were fine, but I didn't think it was a great show

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_03]: You want to say at the same time like when one two three say it

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, one two three 60 70

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_02]: What'd you what'd you think? Okay, uh, I gave it a 78

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_02]: The room to grow we said there's room to grow wow first of all

[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_03]: First of all explainer somebody for our listeners turned off the podcast

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Live it live it for all the stale jokes that have been made throughout this episode so far that dealt with stuff from the summer

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Weekend update does have the excuse of catching up on headlines and they're kind of allowed to do that

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So they did have a little bit of fun. What's that like that? This is brad's he he says this right?

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a small part he says because I actually you just get to say that

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I think that this weekend update was actually pretty good and there was it was fine

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It was fine. There was some solid interaction between jose and chay because where we're in

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Chame specifically makes a joke at joe's expense about the uh, the name of his uh stand-up special

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great. That's racist. Yeah, and colin colin reacts to that and they have they have a little bit of just just back

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Percent no 78. There's one little joke here's here's here's the thing

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_02]: They had a good

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: friendship

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Throughout this one like you could just it was it was palpable. They were having fun with each other

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I think the excitement of a new episode got to your head. Yeah

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that honestly the show was so bad going into we got nobody's like okay. Here we go

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_03]: We cannot give you that we ended up it did feel like a

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It woke me up a little bit. I didn't love well. We'll get into the side characters

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_02]: My favorite part was chay doing the joke about asian drivers and then and and jose's reaction

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like and he just goes it's the 90s, baby. He said it twice

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I love it. I love yeah

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_03]: No, michael chay is the most like norm mcdonnell. We've had since norm mcdonnell

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not even he lives for the groves. He loves it and I loved the joke

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_02]: At joe biden's expense too when they were talking about it's like, yeah, but a democrat's one of assassinated presidential candidate

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They're pretty good at oh, that's great. That's really good

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's somebody that has been saying for a long time that you wish s&l would attack the democrats more this

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it does feel good for you. I I think that we need to just give in to the right

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, both morally and politically. I mean bread. He refers to her as cabala harris. Yeah, exactly

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Kamala mading dong. Okay

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on we can update bit new york city mayor eric adams on his

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_01]: federal indictments written by devin walker august white and will steven

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_01]: New york city mayor eric adams played by devin walker

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's why we can update to discuss his mayoral ship and federal indictments

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Now sometimes this one does this where they get very new york centric, right? Now that this wasn't a big story

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But this story doesn't impact any of us other than people in new york

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Was devin walker in any sketch between the 100 000 pyramid and now

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Because if not, I feel like he didn't have to change his bald cap and gap tune

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I thought about that when I saw eric adams like oh, he just didn't change. Well, no michael strangland's not bald

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, sorry. So you take that. Sorry. You take the wig off and I think that he did have uh, okay

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, uh, uh, a beer so the teeth were the same

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that I'm pretty sure devin walker actually doesn't he also have oh, maybe he does. Yeah, oh shit

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Not bad. Who who's the other uh former snl star a customer that did eric adams chris red chris red

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, this was fine. You know devin walker was good in it very very new york centric

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_02]: um, I did I did like the opening where when like he was like talking to chain is that couple of new york legends

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_03]: So that was the best part that was the best part where you try to rope jay in and check you like whoa

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's almost like it's almost like, you know, remember we were at the ditty party

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That's

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That was when this was at its best. Yeah, when it was at its worst or whatever it was basically like, okay

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get back to chase stuff. Yeah, this isn't working for me

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it was whatever but like honestly

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I do

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I do want to compliment devin walker like getting such a spotlight in this episode after we saw him and that it seemed like he was miserable

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever happened. Maybe he's reinvigorated. Maybe he felt like he's going for it

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, so it was like he did his job very well as yeah, it seemed confident. He did a very good job here

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_03]: He didn't flub any lines. He was he was what he was supposed to be. Yeah, and he helped co-write these right

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is this is a secret for a lot of cast memories. Yeah, right your shit. Yeah, right your stuff

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_03]: So good for you devin walker. We hope you're happy. Yes, and that sounded really

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope you're happy. I'm happy mother fucker. No, no, I really hope you're happy

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, we could update baby hippo moodang on fame by bow and yang will steven moodang

[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Played by bow and yang stops by we could update to discuss her newfound fame

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: With a shout out to the s&l costumers

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Who created an incredible costume for bow and yang? I'm sorry

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_01]: To shout out to the hose handler. Yeah, this is amazing

[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I loved this. Well, first of all, do you guys love moodang as much as I do? I've never even heard of this

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you serious?

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know. I mean, no, you don't know who moodang is. I get it. Don't do that. No, I'm gonna

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I want only do that. No, it's gonna be hippo

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no only being no sing where you're like you don't know who this thing

[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: No, but I say this but I know that's the thing is I say this because I hate that you're missing out on this

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Moodang is this absolutely adorable

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Hilarious baby hippo. I just saw bow and yang as her. No, but I get it. We know it now

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_02]: But no, no, you don't though because yeah, there's thrown shellfish at her

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But you need to see because like there's a way that moodang moves so chaotically

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Where like if they capture still photos of moodang as he's like freaking out

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Gee, gee. Sorry. Oh, geez. Don't misgender the hippo

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_02]: When moodang freaks out there is a hippo, right? Yes. There are great photos of this hippo

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Who is like looks like she's on the run all the time like with the mouth wide open like ah

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And like she is hilarious and adorable and always biting stuff always biting the handler

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's you need to go. You'll you'll want to follow moodang forever. Fair enough adorable

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I do know who chapeurone is though also an adorable hippo

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds like an insult to chapeurone

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_03]: But I was actually waiting because I thought maybe I thought we got to cut that

[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_01]: You would say that no, but you are the very thing she's talking about online by the way, of course

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But no, but no, it's only because chapeurone sounds just as ridiculous of a name as moodang

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But no, yeah, I will send you guys some moodang videos. All right, so you can be honest

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so great why have you shared we have an ongoing text right to be fair

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I really don't share a lot of instagram stuff anyway. So well, that's your fault

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I shared all the time. Um, yeah, let's take this offline a little bit that I have started a instagram

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_01]: thread with the three of us. I noticed

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys have not shared a single freaking thing. You know

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Does that way the podcast shows up now? Yeah, but here's I'm not joking. I went to go send something

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It showed up and I was like, why is instagram doing this?

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was instagram fucking me and therefore I was not gonna click no, it's me

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Perfect perfect way for you to send us a moodang

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna get a bunch from now and you're gonna regret it

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Why would I regret it? You said it was great. It is but I'm gonna do it so much. You're gonna fucking hate moodang now

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's gonna turn honestly. You were so excited. No, you guys think is it?

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I love this so much. I love this so much. Yeah, this is the kind of thing that that bo nyang is perfect for

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He's doing something he's done countless times before of playing this like sassy, you know upset

[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Offended version of whatever does it? Yeah, it was just different and the physical comedy that came with him

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Eating the hose water was unbelievable like I couldn't believe he kept taking it in the face because he had his mouth

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Wide open just

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was oh amazing

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It also I love that they do this, you know, he could have done this with

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Michael chay

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But they always do these physical ones

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Where they're gonna get wet or they're gonna write by collin joe's. Yeah, what was and he has to deal with the mess of it

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And I don't remember but it was one of the funniest things that happened

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Collin joe's had to deliver a line

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it was put his head down on the desk because it was so silly or yeah

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And he'd missed his line and and then but then bo and bo and said he's like calling your wig and and calling those

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my wig

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_03]: That was so good because he clearly got hit by the water. Yeah

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's clearly improv, you know

[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit. I laughed hard. It was really funny this if this was a full-on proper sketch

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_01]: This was one of the best things of the night. Yeah, it was great. All right moving on. I love lucy written by jake norwin mike descenzo and

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Cara o'solven

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_01]: A television host played by bow and yang takes a look back on a groundbreaking comedy

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That changed television an actress played by gene smart does not do well in the pilot of I love lucy

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It also starts with Marcelo Hernandez as desi arnaz

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Chloe Feynman and james awson johnson

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_01]: um, I gotta say

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Like mini punchlines that happens on snl is when they do these little side descriptors of whatever faux show

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_02]: They're doing

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And in this one when bow and yang says you're watching a CNN's history of a sitcom

[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is probably on because you're in the hospital room of your parents

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_03]: The only show that's available when you're visiting your parents hotel hospital room. Yeah, I laughed hard at that and nothing else

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I disagree. There was some good things

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Guys no, no, no both very though

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I particularly enjoyed this because gene smart's delivery

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Is great

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The line that especially got me was when ricky comes in and he says something and she just goes are you gay?

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_01]: The way she delivered that line was freaking hell it was perfect

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That saved it for me

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_03]: But it just seems like there's a decent premise here, but it was just like no

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I do agree. Yeah, it does not mean it's full potential. There's something better here and it feels like

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if it got cut down

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just it because the things they left in were like why the you guys are again, man

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I hate it because i'm like i'm not a comedy writer, but like there's gotta be some no pulling out a gun and

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: No, so there was a couple lines there, right? Yeah, particularly the one that bread just talked about that made me laugh

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, marcel Hernandez does a great dizzy arnaz like he you know

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing his job there and it could have been um a little stilted because it was delivery here and there was a little

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_01]: A little off. Yeah, I don't disagree. There was some bad camera stuff going on too

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to blame the writers because maybe in rehearsal. It's like when that's perfect and they're running through it

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I think there was something there that there was like, I just don't get it, but I do think

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Bones of this were funny. I also think that maybe their choice to end it kind of like

[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of like fred armorsons. I deal with me. Oh like with ricky

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Like just kind of like oh loot it just like ending it that way every time was just

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Too easy, maybe I don't know no

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I understand your qualms with that it worked for me for the most part

[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think that it didn't quite live up to how good it great could have been

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I I like the framework

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I like the the concept of just putting an actress in there who is more dramatic and not a natural comedian

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I even like the self-awareness of the the end framework too where it says

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So as we all know the show ended up starring lucille ball

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Which makes a lot more sense because the show is called I love lucy and the two stars of the show were married

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that actually so the book ends here were the best part. Yeah. Yeah

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so yeah, I like I didn't love it, but I think it's better than you give a great

[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you though, bram, but I just watched I'm like

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You're almost there on this sketch, but it wasn't fully there. I think that I just needed uh,

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Reese to what?

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe maybe that always miss Reese to what?

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_01]: All right moving on charlie xcx

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_01]: um talk show written by

[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_01]: sudy green bow and yang

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Chiara o solovan and jimmy fouley charlie xcx played by bow and yang host the talk talk show

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_01]: With troi savon played by sarah sherman and guests susanne barge played by gene smart

[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Caitlyn collins played by goy chloe feinman and jasmine crocket

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Or representative jasmine crocket played by ego woad and

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna let you guys talk about this one. I didn't war like charlie xcx next

[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I will let you talk about this. I don't want to talk it was

[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Some there's one of the worst things i've seen on this there was not a lot

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this this was such a bummer and like similar to the hundred thousand dollar pyramid sketch

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It was such old stuff like the entire charlie xcx vibe the entire brat summer thing

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_02]: literally a summer gag and

[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I get that there's some things that are so big you want to capitalize them

[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is not it and jasmine crocket. I am a c-span watcher. I am a political nerd

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I get that 90 of the country doesn't and yeah, one thing happened months ago guys come off twitter a little bit

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm not I'm not even joking like you're extreme

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I the writers seem to be extremely online

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And I get it but there's a lot of people don't and so make your comedy a little bit

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That's I think but here's the it doesn't need to be super broad like we're not doing two and a half men here

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_03]: No, you just need to do stuff. You gotta play to the cheap seats. You have to add a little bit more

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a little bit more you really do though. Yeah, like it's not it

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Like when you're that hyper niche it gets weird. Yeah, exactly

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the one saving grace was I I did like uh sarah sherman's

[00:55:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Delivery well, I mean she just looked funny with the abs but also the way no

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, are you lying? No

[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you telling me? No

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, otherwise awful sketch just just bad and like I feel bad because bow and yang

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Clearly doing a good job having fun playing charlie xdx, but I couldn't tell you what charlie xdx

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't even tell you this good impression or bad. It is it was good impression because I know nothing about charlie xdx

[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_03]: better impression

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_03]: bow and yang as charlie xdx

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_03]: bow and yang as jd vans

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh charlie xdx, okay, right off. Also. Do you think bow and yang had some surgery some work done on his face?

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_02]: No, he's asian

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus Christ, I think I had a little bit of bowtux. That's my theory

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that but I think so

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's just a handsome young man. I'm just saying I think there wasn't a wrinkle there this year

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_01]: There wasn't even a wrinkle. Um, good lighting. How old is bow yang 30?

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that it? I'm gonna say 32. I'm guessing

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Is he I thought it was like more like 36

[00:56:40] [SPEAKER_01]: How's bow and yang?

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He is

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_01]: 33

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I win well with the bowtux. It looks 30

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm saying all right, um moving on to

[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm in a guess

[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Ben's favorite sketch

[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Real house housewives of santa fe

[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Because heidi gardener was in it the real housewives of santa fei played by gene smart heidi gardener agar wodem

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Chloe fine and serah sherman and ashley

[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Padilla have lunch at a mexican restaurant to clear the air. I thought this was terrible as well

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, seriously just terrible and it's I wonder if it happened to do better in dress for whatever reason

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, it did not work at all. Yeah, I will say this though

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe i'm not the audience because i've never watched a real house

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but here's the thing though

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think any of the comedy really comes from the real housewives of santa fei

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Set up like it's it's a ret. It's it's supposed to be

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it's the backdrop for the larger physical gag and I which is just new struggling with the fajitas place

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And I do respect and admire how hard he was working. Yes, but he was working

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So hard in this but for whatever reason I don't know if the props didn't work the way they were meant to

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Both of the bottles were exposed at the end of the sketch. You see that? Yeah

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_03]: They're both just gas tanks on top of them

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So clearly like things got jostled around they didn't try it out enough

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like that they should have made a bigger mess if that was their intention

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it was supposed to make a bigger mess and the stuff just didn't fall the way

[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It was supposed to because I got the vibe that it was kind of supposed to be like a lisa from tomecula thing

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Where the table just gets obliterated

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_02]: but I didn't know but

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_03]: But if you and I looked at that sketch again

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And we kept pausing it and saying that's the moment. It's supposed to go off the rails

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't pick it out. Yeah, because it never happened right exactly and so I just it was just weird

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was it was awkward

[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It was not very funny and it just didn't feel like it landed at all

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And I wonder if honestly because obviously the

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_03]: The smoke of the fajitas is supposed to be a character in the sketch

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Because especially they they wrapped it up to go and it was so smoky

[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't get that. I just don't see why that was funny

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Is there a real housewives of santa fe? Is that a real thing?

[00:58:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so. I think they chose santa fe because the fajitas

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And also because because of tomecula santa fe is like not important enough to have a real housewives

[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to our listeners in santa fe no longer listeners. You don't deserve a real housewives of your home

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_01]: pieces of shit

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_01]: All right that those are the those are the sketches in the live episode but

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're an snl fan, you know this on their youtube channel on the snl youtube channel

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_01]: There's better things they put the cover time sketches. These are sketches. They make typically pre-tape sketches, but not always

[00:59:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Um sometimes live sketches from the dress rehearsal, which is recorded every time they do it

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, uh because again, that's how they they're their technical staff also gets their practice in

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But um these are put on the um

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_01]: snl youtube channel for us to enjoy

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_01]: They don't always but we always enjoy it when they do and so this week we had a rare treat

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We had two

[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Comfort time sketches love to see it. I love to see it even though they're bad

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just any extra snl stuff, you know, i'm gonna love it agreed pre-tape

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_01]: A father's promise written by Andrew smuke seemed August white

[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_01]: In this comfort time sketch parents play by gene smart and Andrew smuke's attend their son marsala hernandez's

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_01]: baseball game

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_01]: This i'm gonna give you i mean i i don't know how to not pick this is my favorite sketch of the night

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, i'm going to

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't care it doesn't and no i'm bringing the rules

[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_03]: This was this was so much better. Yeah, and by far really hilarious

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_03]: This was i was laughing out loud so many times

[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_03]: This is so much better than everything come by all the laughs on the show combine

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_03]: We're about a quarter of how many times i left in this one sketch

[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It was wonderful. What's weird too is this sketch is only four seconds shorter than real housewives of san jf

[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know how this doesn't make it instead the only thing I can think of it's a pre-tape

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's the reason I think that lauren

[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes he goes with his gut as far as leaning into live more than pre-tape

[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And if he has the choice between having two pre tapes and having one more live sketch, he'll go with the live

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me just chime in for the 89 year old in the room. It's okay to have two pre tapes

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Especially when this one is

[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Leap like to anybody that watches comedy leaps and bounds. No, I do. I think you're right

[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know this is the case, but for whatever he's overruling this kind of shit

[01:01:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Retired

[01:01:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Season 51 is gonna be amazing, but you gotta wonder if if rehouse of san afei killed during dress somehow, you know

[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't care then keep that one and kill something else this thing to the lonely island wonderful

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The lonely island podcast it does seem like for lauren pre tapes

[01:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Are tools to get set up for the nice next life. Yeah, they're not real sketches

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he is so they're

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Admires them, but they are not the most important thing about us. He was he was 40 in 1987

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep, so I get it but like move the fuck on these are funny things like it's embarrassing

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: This sketch is so funny. It's first of all, it's classic dismukes. That's what I love

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: The sense of escalation here is great because you know that's all I can ever talk about

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the perfect escalation bit

[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It's this is more escalation than a lot of uh, please don't destroy videos. Yeah, which is saying something

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's so much by the end of this

[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: He's in a mario kart throwing a banana that the the cops really slip on yeah

[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because it also I guess for dismukes. It's not just escalation. It's also absurd

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure escalation, but also grounded in reality. Yes nothing there

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Like it wasn't like the mario kart flew all the way in the sky

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It was all based on pretty things like that could happen. Right like I

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just he's wonderful. I just I love how the turn comes to this one too

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's a classic way of doing it

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Of when he just told his wife that he quit his job and she's so proud to spend more time with the family

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then she's like wow, I can't believe you quit your job. It's like well quit fired, you know

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I just say wait what and he's like, you know what we're gonna we're gonna take in our son's baseball game

[01:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: We're gonna get home and we're gonna get out your jewelry and see what it's worth

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the the long drawn-out way. He's doing it is wonderful

[01:03:04] [SPEAKER_03]: He's cracking up a beer the devon walker again as the umpire yells at him and you can't drink here

[01:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: He goes it's in a paper bag. You can't see what it is

[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: The argument he has with ashley pd as the mom. Yeah, at least where's your he's not even here

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a little tim robinson. Yeah, you know with like it really did feel a little bit

[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just so good. I mean this sketch honestly

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm it's my yeah, I'm saying it's this is my sketch tonight. Well, you can't say that yet

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But no, I'm doing sorry. I'm sorry

[01:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Blonde dragon people in this cut for time sketch friends

[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Play by Heidi Gardner Andrews speak steven walker and jane wickline

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Try to watch a new season of their favorite show certainly based on the

[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Game of Thrones show house of the dragon house of the dragon

[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Um and

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So so the way they do this is is if you've not watched this cut for time sketches

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going back and forth. This is a live sketch

[01:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: But they're going back and forth with many of the cast members who are dressed as

[01:04:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Game of Thrones types of characters blonde wigs, you know

[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Going back to a couch where the friends are sitting and they're commenting on the previously on recap

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We need a recap and I'm very confused is what's going on a lot of the names sound to say I have felt like this before

[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, oftentimes and I was a Game of Thrones watcher

[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched it with Wikipedia open because I'm like I don't freaking remember

[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's if I have a complaint about the sketch which I do think it's funny

[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I a I think it goes on a little too long

[01:04:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It is a long but b the I think the one problem is it veers close to feeling tired because this has been a complaint about Game of Thrones

[01:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: For a long time and so it's not necessarily like a fresh take on it

[01:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it does feel like House of the Dragon veers a little more into this criticism because they do have a lot of characters who have

[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Very similar names and it's like wait. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, it gets even worse

[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but there's there's some really great bits in here from from cutting back to the friends on the couch

[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The way they react to to the different things and how upset they are freaking hilarious. Oh my god

[01:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: James Austin Johnson

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_03]: is

[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Incredible he does Ben's British accent. Yeah

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I should have wanted to have a wrap on your head

[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_03]: And like wait who in the fact that they cut back there

[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen that guy before in this show like that's so good that makes no sense

[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That doesn't make any sense and then it's all based around, you know, dragomere dragoona

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Dragomere, it's all a dra

[01:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: South-western coast drag most dragone

[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Instead of dragon and then dog most and they had a blonde wig on a dog all of that works for me

[01:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so fun. It works for me. Yep. And plus you have the lord of the rings twist at the end with any

[01:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Sandberg and jelly roll was a great and then I'm like this got cut. Yeah, like come on

[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's now a learn no excuse live sketch. What the fuck? I mean, I think like you said Brad

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Your your critique which I think are founded

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Aside it still would be one of the better life sketches doing. Oh, yeah

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: There's there are there are three sketches that I would have replaced with either of these two

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, easily

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And so those are your episode. That's your episode four tonight. Let's get into

[01:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Sketch of the night. I'll go first because I I'm gonna say it and I want you to follow me

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna say pre-tape of father's promise is my favorite sketch by far

[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And if we're gonna talk about the live show for me, I thought I named the best sketch as spirit halloween

[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That would be my yeah, that would be my favorite but a father's promise is the funniest sketch

[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: That those two pre-takes if it's a live show. Uh, it's definitely bow and yang as the hippo

[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't get to pick. Yeah. No, I'm changing it this year. Who's the mvp? I'm changing it this year

[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I do what I want now. Who's the mvp? It's devin walker. Oh

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It's devil walker. He he was consistent across the board. It's unexpected. Do we get to pick?

[01:06:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It was gonna be bow and yang because he was in everything

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: But to me honestly devin walker

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the first time I've seen him show up and he showed up a lot. He did a great job

[01:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't flub one line to me. It's never walker. I went with Andrew just makes because I believe that

[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he wrote the

[01:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Father's promise and then also started it did great and also and was the best part of the

[01:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Dragon people he was freaking fantastic

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I would have given it to him if those sketches were both in the show

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But I do think that ben is probably right that probably should go to devin walker

[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, what a what an astounding turn right? Yeah, like it's so cool to see him feature prominently to see him crush it

[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he didn't fuck up once and that's not to say like that's the only thing but he did well

[01:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he added to every sketch he was in I agree. I think a lot of our listeners

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you like devin walker, Nate? I think a lot of our listeners are wondering what you have against uh

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Andrew just makes

[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know get your sketches on the air

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, here's the thing we have a special

[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, just in case he would ever hear my voice. I am so sorry

[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you're one of the funniest men on the planet. We came to see you in Chicago. You were you were wonderful

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was just gonna say we have a special place for Andrew to meet in our hearts because we met him

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he is so affable and nice and where were you by the way? We invited you

[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm of course very excited about John Mulaney because he always delivers

[01:10:19] [SPEAKER_03]: But Keaton I'm most excited Keaton Mulaney and then who I mean for me it's Keaton because also the musical guest billy

[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean

[01:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: To be to be fair like third place out of four does not sound great. It just doesn't

[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, yeah, I don't think she to me. She's not that famous. She's just a person

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, I don't but like I don't look at as if she hasn't been silly before too

[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she's her career on Nickelodeon. You know, it's just

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_03]: There there's a pedestal of like oh look at what this very famous singer is

[01:13:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I it's because he's written a professional review of the show before we record this

[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Professionally and we are just over here flying by the seat of our pants to be fair. It's called preparing
