Episode 75 - Ariana Grande (Season 50)

[00:00:06] It's the Ten to One Podcast with your host Brad Oman, featuring Ben Conowitz and Nate Lauchs and Heroes the Podcast.

[00:00:20] Alright now listen I know that it's Halloween but that was almost purposely spooky.

[00:00:25] Sometimes Don Pardo sounds spooky.

[00:00:27] Now but that was really leaning in like woo!

[00:00:29] It's mostly because sometimes I like to give it a little bit of that vibrato and it doesn't always work.

[00:00:33] I think you were basically doing Don Pardo if he was part of Abbott and Costello's Meta Ghost.

[00:00:38] All I want to do is see that.

[00:00:39] I would love to see Don Pardo in an Abbott and Costello movie.

[00:00:42] I mean technically Don Pardo is a ghost.

[00:00:45] Oh that's true. RIP.

[00:00:47] RIP.

[00:00:48] When did he die?

[00:00:50] Don Pardo 2014.

[00:00:53] 2017.

[00:00:54] Wow Ben.

[00:00:55] Did he get it?

[00:00:55] Yeah he got it. 2014.

[00:00:57] Wow nice.

[00:00:57] Sometimes you just pull things out.

[00:00:59] Some would say that I host a podcast about Saturday Night Live where I should know things.

[00:01:02] Let's be clear though.

[00:01:03] I mean come on.

[00:01:03] You got lucky with that one.

[00:01:05] Yeah exactly.

[00:01:06] I got lucky with the exact year of his death.

[00:01:07] Tell me the last year that Ariana Grande hosted.

[00:01:10] That was 2016.

[00:01:11] Fuck he got it.

[00:01:13] Is that right?

[00:01:13] Yeah.

[00:01:14] That is right.

[00:01:15] Yeah.

[00:01:16] He said it in the monologue guys.

[00:01:17] Come on.

[00:01:18] Oh did she?

[00:01:19] Am I the only one hosting here?

[00:01:21] What's going on?

[00:01:21] I knew about it so I didn't need to remember.

[00:01:23] Alright.

[00:01:24] When was the last time Stevie Nicks was on?

[00:01:26] 40 years ago.

[00:01:27] Oh no no it was like 1977 or 78 or something.

[00:01:31] Uh 1983.

[00:01:33] There you go.

[00:01:34] Yeah wow.

[00:01:34] Yeah.

[00:01:35] Well this is a Saturday Night Live podcast for those who didn't know and if you didn't

[00:01:38] I'm curious how you got here.

[00:01:41] This is the 10 to 1 podcast where we review and recap new episodes of Saturday Night Live

[00:01:45] and sometimes we do other Saturday Night Live related things in between those episodes.

[00:01:49] But this one's a, what about an episode?

[00:01:51] This was, this is the third episode in a row for season 50 of SNL, the third of four.

[00:01:57] And this one is hosted by Ariana Grande hosting for her second time.

[00:02:01] However unlike the first time she hosted she is not pulling double duty.

[00:02:05] She's just hosting this time.

[00:02:07] She makes it very clear in the monologue she's not going to be screwing around.

[00:02:10] Not going to be singing.

[00:02:10] No not going to be singing.

[00:02:11] No singing tonight.

[00:02:11] No Britney Spears impressions.

[00:02:13] Yeah.

[00:02:14] But yeah so we're going to dig into this episode and I will say just to tease

[00:02:19] where we're going with this that I think that.

[00:02:21] She did sing.

[00:02:22] We were kind of I think maybe a little dismissive about an Ariana Grande episode.

[00:02:27] Maybe a little too dismissive.

[00:02:28] Yeah and maybe we completely forgot, you know what, she's actually really good at this.

[00:02:33] Yeah she's very good.

[00:02:34] So yeah Nate you want to bring us in?

[00:02:36] Yeah I would like to defy gravity for you guys right now.

[00:02:39] Oh.

[00:02:40] That's from Wicked Ben.

[00:02:42] I was going to say is that an Ariana Grande song?

[00:02:44] Yeah it is a Wicked reference.

[00:02:44] It's a movie that she's in.

[00:02:45] It's a movie for Skull from Broadway.

[00:02:46] She's a new movie right now.

[00:02:47] I know that.

[00:02:48] Now do you know about The Wizard of Oz?

[00:02:50] Come on.

[00:02:52] There's a wizard?

[00:02:53] Yeah.

[00:02:55] Is it?

[00:02:55] Going to see the wizard.

[00:02:57] Is it like The Wizard of Id?

[00:02:58] No.

[00:02:59] I love that comic.

[00:03:01] Anyway, Nate why don't you talk to us through the first part of this show?

[00:03:06] All right let's start off guys.

[00:03:07] Family Feud Election Edition Cold Opening.

[00:03:10] Family Feud Election Edition is hosted by Steve Harvey, played by Kenan Thompson.

[00:03:14] It features team Kamala, including Kamala Harris, played by Maya Rudolph.

[00:03:19] Doug Emhoff, played by Andy Samberg.

[00:03:21] Tim Waltz, played by Jim Gaffigan and Joe Biden.

[00:03:24] Played again by Dana Carvey.

[00:03:26] Competed against Team Trump, comprised of Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson.

[00:03:30] Donald Trump Jr., played by Mikey Day.

[00:03:33] And J.D. Vance, played by Yo-Bowen Yang.

[00:03:35] Yo-Bang.

[00:03:36] Yo-Bang.

[00:03:37] Yo-Bang.

[00:03:37] That is his great name.

[00:03:38] That's Yo-Bang's evil twin.

[00:03:40] Oh yeah.

[00:03:41] I would have loved to have seen them get a reunion of the Trump brothers.

[00:03:45] Oh thank you Nate.

[00:03:46] I was waiting, especially because when they said they had the space because Melania was

[00:03:50] gone, I was like, oh my god, is Alex Moffat coming back?

[00:03:52] And they completely disappointed us.

[00:03:54] Yeah, no, for the rest of the episode I was mad.

[00:03:56] I was a little bit.

[00:03:57] And I think it's part of the reason that I don't think this was maybe as good as it could

[00:04:01] have been.

[00:04:01] Because while I appreciate them going the extra step to not make this your typical political

[00:04:07] satire code open and infusing it with that game show framework, it felt like-

[00:04:12] Empty.

[00:04:13] It felt empty.

[00:04:14] A lot of the bits felt forced because they were trying to almost give a debate format to

[00:04:18] a game show format.

[00:04:19] So I think that the lesson would be here, if you're going to do that, which we know you're

[00:04:24] listening guys because you're huge fans of our show.

[00:04:28] If you're going to do something like this where it's not your typical code, lean all

[00:04:31] the way in.

[00:04:32] Make it just them in that scenario rather than shoehorning things about the debate and

[00:04:38] things like that.

[00:04:38] It almost would have been fun to have each of the teams have a real celebrity along with

[00:04:44] them, just as them being uncomfortable or adding a little extra match to it.

[00:04:48] That would have been great if you had somebody, especially on Team Trump, that was like,

[00:04:53] oh, I was just told it was the celebrity family.

[00:04:56] I don't want to be associated.

[00:04:58] Yeah.

[00:04:58] That could have been great.

[00:04:59] Or have someone like stupid Zachary Levi over there.

[00:05:03] It was awkward not to just have- I get the Melania thing, I get it, but just have three

[00:05:07] people on that one side and then of course we were told not to talk.

[00:05:10] Yeah.

[00:05:10] So then it was just really about the one thing.

[00:05:12] Exactly.

[00:05:12] That's the thing that made it weird.

[00:05:13] Yeah.

[00:05:13] It felt like they made a bit out of it and then pushed it to the side and just tried

[00:05:17] to make it normal again.

[00:05:18] It's trying to shoehorn too much of the political stuff into the-

[00:05:21] We're also getting to the point where, and this happens anytime a new impression comes

[00:05:26] on, James Austin Johnson had the same thing that he was suffering from, where you start

[00:05:30] getting comfortable with the impressions, right?

[00:05:32] So you've got these incredible impressions, but there's not a lot of new to it, right?

[00:05:38] And so we're getting comfortable with Maya Rudolph.

[00:05:41] We're getting comfortable- like Andy Samberg's not doing anything new with Doug Amhoff.

[00:05:44] And I know that seems very consumeristic in our comedy, in our approach to comedy, but

[00:05:49] that's the risk you run when you're bringing these characters back every week.

[00:05:52] Yeah.

[00:05:53] Again and again-

[00:05:53] You have to escalate somehow.

[00:05:55] Thank you, Nate.

[00:05:55] That's the perfect word.

[00:05:56] You've got to escalate.

[00:05:57] We talk about that all the time on the show.

[00:05:58] Now that we're familiar with these characters, what are you doing with them?

[00:06:01] Yeah, exactly.

[00:06:02] So it's not that their impression isn't good, it's just as good as it was before.

[00:06:05] It's just now we're comfortable with it.

[00:06:07] Out of all of the impressions on that sketch, the number one that I could have just watched

[00:06:13] keep going, that I'm still not familiar with enough, that I'm fine with, is still Dana Carvey.

[00:06:18] I can still watch him do it.

[00:06:19] I'm not getting old.

[00:06:20] I'm still biting.

[00:06:20] It's just fantastic.

[00:06:21] It's so good.

[00:06:21] It's fantastic, but I will say I am torn because it does feel like he's relying too

[00:06:25] much on repeating the same things.

[00:06:27] I'm still fine.

[00:06:27] And I think there needs to be more variation there.

[00:06:28] I know, but for right now, I'm still loving it.

[00:06:30] Because it's as good as James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump.

[00:06:34] I genuinely believe that.

[00:06:36] And when James Austin Johnson started his Trump, you know, when he was starting on the

[00:06:41] show, it took me four or five episodes to really get all the nuances.

[00:06:45] And he's still adding stuff right now, right?

[00:06:47] But it's a, part of me also thinks though that some of it comes from, it's just a different

[00:06:51] era of comedy.

[00:06:51] And the kind of impressions that Dana Carvey did back during the nineties is they did rely

[00:06:56] on...

[00:06:57] A lot of catchphrases.

[00:06:58] And repeated tropes and things like that.

[00:06:59] That's why his bush was always, not gonna do it.

[00:07:01] Well, it's not gonna do it.

[00:07:03] And so like he had...

[00:07:04] Brad, Brad, it's not gonna do it.

[00:07:05] Try that Brad.

[00:07:06] It's more of a do.

[00:07:06] No, try it Brad.

[00:07:07] You're doing more of like a valley girl thing.

[00:07:09] Because I need to over exaggerate it because you weren't doing enough of it.

[00:07:11] No, I'm not.

[00:07:12] I'm not gonna do it.

[00:07:13] That's what he does.

[00:07:14] Yeah.

[00:07:14] I don't know.

[00:07:15] It's normal conversation.

[00:07:16] It's not...

[00:07:16] Not gonna do it.

[00:07:17] You're overdoing it.

[00:07:17] You're doing like the mad TV version of Bush.

[00:07:20] Nope, nope.

[00:07:20] I'm not gonna do it.

[00:07:21] Not gonna do it.

[00:07:22] But yeah, so like I think that...

[00:07:24] And it works to some extent because obviously Biden does have certain tendencies when he speaks

[00:07:28] but you know...

[00:07:29] Yeah, so this one, it wasn't bad but it just felt like there wasn't much...

[00:07:33] You're starting to reuse some things.

[00:07:34] Yeah, there wasn't much to it.

[00:07:35] I did like Steve Harvey show me that blip, blap, blap or whatever the hell he did for

[00:07:39] a gun.

[00:07:41] You should laugh at that as well.

[00:07:42] That's really good.

[00:07:43] It was solid.

[00:07:43] Really solid.

[00:07:44] So yeah, it was great...

[00:07:45] No, not great but not bad.

[00:07:46] Show me dementia!

[00:07:48] Alright, moving on.

[00:07:49] Monologue by Ariana Grande, written by August White, Alison Gates and Cara O'Sullivan.

[00:07:56] Returning to host SNL for the second time, former three-time musical guest Ariana Grande

[00:08:00] talks about returning to host Saturday Night Live for the second time, former three-time

[00:08:04] musical guest Ariana Grande talks also about filming Wicked before performing a song about

[00:08:09] keeping things low-key on the show.

[00:08:11] And she sings about how she's going to keep it low-key tonight.

[00:08:16] What did you guys think?

[00:08:17] Obviously, you're not gonna have Aria.

[00:08:19] She wasn't the musical guest so you know she's gonna sing a decent amount.

[00:08:21] Plus, she can sing Ariana Grande.

[00:08:24] Almost like a very, very famous pop star.

[00:08:28] I mean, also just, like, there are great pop stars.

[00:08:30] She is uniquely good.

[00:08:33] Yeah.

[00:08:33] She's at the top.

[00:08:34] As frustrated as I am by her super-tight ponytail and sometimes her Mickey Mouse speaking voice,

[00:08:40] I love when she sings.

[00:08:42] She's an incredible singer.

[00:08:43] She has amazing pipes.

[00:08:44] And as this episode will prove, she's got incredible comedic chops.

[00:08:47] And I'm not one to body shame, but also eating a burrito might not be too bad.

[00:08:51] Whoa, Nate.

[00:08:52] I mean, it's just...

[00:08:52] Eat some more food.

[00:08:53] We respect all bodies on this podcast.

[00:08:54] Yeah, you let her be what she wants to be.

[00:08:56] I'm just saying.

[00:08:57] Shocking.

[00:08:58] Coming from a guy that looks like me.

[00:09:00] Or you.

[00:09:01] Whoa.

[00:09:02] We're both pretty...

[00:09:04] Hey, hey, don't lump him in with you.

[00:09:07] Actually, that's very...

[00:09:09] I actually tried to walk that back as soon as I said it because I'm like, I'm looking over

[00:09:12] like, God, I wish I'd look like that.

[00:09:14] We're both big guys.

[00:09:15] No.

[00:09:16] Are we?

[00:09:18] Actually, Brad got mad at me a couple weeks ago when I'm like,

[00:09:21] hey, the three chubby guys are here and Brad's like, no, you don't get to say that

[00:09:24] anymore.

[00:09:25] You don't get to say that.

[00:09:26] Because Nate stands next to us and it's the number 100.

[00:09:29] Just because you shop in the tall section doesn't mean you're big, Nate.

[00:09:33] Yeah, we go to the big and tall store and he's like, well, see you later.

[00:09:36] You go that way, I go this way.

[00:09:39] All right, so what is it?

[00:09:39] The t-shirts in the big and tall section leave something to be desired.

[00:09:42] Let me just say.

[00:09:44] What do you mean you only start at 1X?

[00:09:48] Oh, cool.

[00:09:48] Get out of here.

[00:09:49] I love t-shirts that have just the logo on it.

[00:09:52] Anymore where I sponsor some sort of little league thing like, oh, cool.

[00:09:56] It comes with a free t-shirt.

[00:09:57] I'm like, I'm good.

[00:09:58] They only go up to 2X the only way.

[00:09:59] Yeah, that's not going to fit.

[00:10:01] That's going to be a work shirt.

[00:10:01] What is this for my dog?

[00:10:04] So what did you guys think of this?

[00:10:06] No, it was.

[00:10:06] Oh, gosh.

[00:10:07] It was fantastic.

[00:10:08] I mean, especially because it lets her like play in some of the things that she

[00:10:11] did before, you know, hearing the Britney Spears thing is always fun.

[00:10:14] Something she's very good at.

[00:10:15] It's a fun song.

[00:10:16] I mean, it's hard if you ever even have tried to do more than one impression that isn't

[00:10:21] exactly like, you know, you do Ray Romano and Kermit the Frog.

[00:10:24] Sure.

[00:10:25] But if you try to jump between impressions as somebody who tries to do it, it's hard.

[00:10:29] Yeah.

[00:10:29] So to do that pretty seamlessly and get into the next impression and also while carrying

[00:10:33] a tune, I would say that this on a scale of difficulty, this is very hard.

[00:10:37] She's an incredibly skilled impressionist.

[00:10:39] Yes.

[00:10:40] Like, I mean, in her own right.

[00:10:41] Yeah.

[00:10:41] So she definitely got to feature that.

[00:10:43] And also to do the impression singing is a whole nother added element of skill that

[00:10:48] she has.

[00:10:49] The one thing I will never fail to be impressed by is anybody who can do a voice like a cartoon

[00:10:55] character or something like that and also sing in that same voice without sounding any

[00:10:59] different whatsoever.

[00:11:00] Seth MacFarlane in particular.

[00:11:01] I don't know how he does it.

[00:11:03] He is unbelievable.

[00:11:04] So gifted in that way.

[00:11:06] Yeah.

[00:11:06] So, yeah.

[00:11:07] Here having Ariana Grande do this.

[00:11:08] It's a fun way to start the show.

[00:11:10] The bow and yang bit with him dressing like Glinda was was fantastic, too.

[00:11:14] Yeah.

[00:11:14] I mean, this this was when I started thinking to myself, oh, shit, I think I need to go

[00:11:20] back and look at my review of Ariana Grande's first episode and like remind myself those

[00:11:25] sketches because I think that I forgot that she's good at this.

[00:11:28] I think that, yeah, we talked about we were so excited, you know, for four episodes in

[00:11:32] a row and we're like that.

[00:11:33] And then Ariana Grande is going to be there as well.

[00:11:35] Ariana Grande is going to be there.

[00:11:36] OK, but I'm wrong.

[00:11:38] I was so wrong.

[00:11:39] I apologize.

[00:11:40] And it's because like she says in the monologue, too, she has tremendous theater kid energy

[00:11:45] and that goes so far on a show like S&O, which is basically like Broadway, but broadcast

[00:11:50] live for millions.

[00:11:52] Yep.

[00:11:52] So.

[00:11:53] And if you could start off with the monologue going as well as it did.

[00:11:57] Yep.

[00:11:57] It sets the tone for a great episode.

[00:12:00] Yes.

[00:12:00] And she certainly did that.

[00:12:02] A hundred percent.

[00:12:03] Bridesmaid speech written by Jimmy Fowley, Sudi Green, Carlos Sullivan and Ali Levitan.

[00:12:07] A bunch of brides grooms played by Ariana Grande, Heidi Gardner, Ego Wodham and Sarah Sherman

[00:12:13] sing a song to Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso that implies that the bride played by Chloe

[00:12:19] Feynman cheated on her husband, played by the very cheatable looking Andrew Desmukes.

[00:12:25] Yeah.

[00:12:26] A great schmuck.

[00:12:27] The very cheatable looking.

[00:12:27] Yeah.

[00:12:28] You're not wrong.

[00:12:28] He just plays that character well.

[00:12:30] Like, oh, of course he's taking over a bit of the Mikey Day straight man.

[00:12:34] Yeah.

[00:12:34] Like, what?

[00:12:36] You did what on vacation?

[00:12:38] The Mikey Day mixed with Kyle Mooney a little bit.

[00:12:41] Right.

[00:12:41] Yeah.

[00:12:42] He's got the lovable a little bit, but also like.

[00:12:44] A little dorky.

[00:12:45] Yeah.

[00:12:45] A little bit dorky.

[00:12:46] Did you know this was Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso?

[00:12:51] Oh yeah.

[00:12:51] Of course.

[00:12:52] I don't know what any of those words are.

[00:12:54] If you saw Sabrina Carpenter, which you have because she was the guest as far as the

[00:13:00] musical side is concerned of things with Jake Gyllenhaal's episode.

[00:13:03] But I skipped the music.

[00:13:04] She played Daphne in the Scooby Doo sketch.

[00:13:07] Okay.

[00:13:09] She's a hot little tamale.

[00:13:10] Very, very, very attractive?

[00:13:13] I would say extremely attractive actually.

[00:13:16] Okay.

[00:13:16] And so yeah.

[00:13:17] Well now I'll look her up, okay?

[00:13:19] She has a hit song called Espresso.

[00:13:21] Fair enough.

[00:13:21] So yes, I was aware that this was that song.

[00:13:24] So Evelina and I were watching it and we noticed how hard it was for somebody like Ariana Grande

[00:13:31] to sing poorly.

[00:13:32] Yeah.

[00:13:32] Like she's.

[00:13:33] That's a good bit.

[00:13:34] No, no, for sure.

[00:13:34] So good at singing that she could barely sing poorly.

[00:13:37] And so what's interesting too, and I don't know if it was this or if it was more so just

[00:13:41] the flubs and timing of which there were many, but part of me thinks that her intentionally

[00:13:46] not singing well almost brought it down as far as how the timing worked out with the

[00:13:54] song.

[00:13:54] Granted, it was supposed to feel like it was supposed to be amateur bridesmaids singing

[00:13:59] a song.

[00:14:00] So that makes sense.

[00:14:01] But there was like,

[00:14:02] you think it was too much?

[00:14:03] No, no.

[00:14:03] There were two or three bad camera cuts on top of it where they had the camera on the

[00:14:08] wrong person and cut to the wrong, you know, shot.

[00:14:11] So that flubbed some of the time.

[00:14:12] And then also there was an issue with some of the back and forth as far as when dismukes

[00:14:17] reacted to what was happening and that kind of thing.

[00:14:19] There were, I mean in something like this there are quite a few cuts, you know, back

[00:14:22] and forth.

[00:14:22] But they're pretty simple cuts.

[00:14:25] It's like you go there, you go back.

[00:14:26] You go there, you go back.

[00:14:26] So I don't.

[00:14:27] And so if, it's a shame that this is the first one we're talking about because it's

[00:14:31] not indicative of the rest of the episode by any means, but if there were a sketch

[00:14:34] during this episode that I would say was a dud, this came close to me.

[00:14:37] And that sucks because, you know, the lead in audience that comes for the cold open maybe

[00:14:41] stays for the monologue and then maybe that first sketch.

[00:14:44] And if it's a banger, they might stick around.

[00:14:45] But it's also not a bad premise and I don't think it was bad enough to maybe turn people

[00:14:49] off.

[00:14:49] Did you feel like there was a little bit of a timing issue here?

[00:14:52] Ego Woodrum's mic wasn't on.

[00:14:54] I just felt like a lot of little technical.

[00:14:56] Yeah.

[00:14:56] And I felt like that kind of took the sketch off a little bit that the, this is a sketch,

[00:15:03] right?

[00:15:03] That needs really tight execution to work because it's going back and forth.

[00:15:07] You're doing a lot of jump cuts.

[00:15:08] You're doing a lot of facial looks.

[00:15:09] You know, you're doing all these things.

[00:15:11] And I felt like it just started off with the wrong beat.

[00:15:16] And it never, never quite.

[00:15:18] It never really quite recovered from it.

[00:15:20] Um, because I think the sketch itself is funny.

[00:15:22] The, the song, the, what they're doing was pretty funny.

[00:15:26] Yeah.

[00:15:26] Them playing awkward bridesmaids was funny.

[00:15:28] Like it had a rival of Marcello Hernandez at the end was a nice touch.

[00:15:32] The lingo.

[00:15:34] So yeah, it wasn't great, but I felt like it was, there was a better sketch there.

[00:15:38] Um, that on another day with slightly better timing could have been a little bit higher.

[00:15:44] And there's a little bit of escalation, but I'm used, you know, these days I want to see

[00:15:48] something like the song could have gotten like they, they actually got married.

[00:15:52] They attended the wedding down in, you know, I don't know in Asheville, North Carolina,

[00:15:57] where were, where were, where were, absolutely.

[00:15:58] Yeah.

[00:15:59] Whatever Savannah.

[00:15:59] But anyway, uh, just the, the fact that like the song, the only escalation in the lyrics

[00:16:05] was that she absolutely cried because she was tired.

[00:16:09] Okay.

[00:16:09] All right.

[00:16:10] Yeah.

[00:16:10] Just, it was just a good premise, but the, whatever.

[00:16:14] It was fine.

[00:16:15] It was fine.

[00:16:16] Give it a, you get a C minus.

[00:16:17] Fine, but flubby.

[00:16:19] Oh, that's how I've been described.

[00:16:22] All right.

[00:16:23] This was a new thing.

[00:16:25] Our next sketch.

[00:16:26] It was, uh, I don't think they've ever,

[00:16:29] never done a, a called it a short by Dan Bulla before.

[00:16:33] Well, so that was at the very end that, yeah, that was, that was, yeah.

[00:16:36] A film by Dan Bulla or something like that.

[00:16:37] Short by Dan Bulla.

[00:16:39] Yeah.

[00:16:39] Short by Dan Bulla.

[00:16:39] But then the very beginning, it said Saturday Night Live, midnight matinee.

[00:16:42] Yes.

[00:16:43] Which was an interesting touch.

[00:16:44] This was, um, my best friend's house.

[00:16:47] House.

[00:16:48] Yeah.

[00:16:48] My best friend's house.

[00:16:50] Um, and again, a short written by Dan Bulla, which we found out at the end.

[00:16:54] This is a girl played by Ariana Grande and she sings about her best friend's house.

[00:16:58] Also has Mikey Day playing the father.

[00:17:01] Um.

[00:17:01] She loves her best friend's house.

[00:17:03] The smells, the, the movies, just how there's always good snacks in the fridge.

[00:17:07] The Pee Wee Herman house.

[00:17:08] So, my gosh, I just want to say the production design.

[00:17:12] Seriously.

[00:17:12] Was so good on this sketch.

[00:17:14] I, I, the, the very first time, whatever, the bookshelf starts talking.

[00:17:18] Yeah.

[00:17:18] My mouth fell open.

[00:17:19] Oh, they're going for it.

[00:17:20] This is movie level quality.

[00:17:22] Yeah.

[00:17:22] This is crazy good.

[00:17:24] And it's, it's one of those great sketches where you have a nice lead in and you're just

[00:17:30] waiting for the other.

[00:17:31] And a nice long lead in.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:32] But also not, it doesn't fall off.

[00:17:34] It's not boring.

[00:17:34] No.

[00:17:35] I felt like it was, I felt like it was slightly too long, but not terribly.

[00:17:38] Right.

[00:17:38] But once you realize why they did it.

[00:17:40] Yeah.

[00:17:41] It's great because they call back everything that they focused on.

[00:17:44] So, this was a phenomenal twist to the sketch.

[00:17:47] A great darkly hilarious twist that takes it like, and you hear in the audience too,

[00:17:52] as soon as she bumps into the cop and you hear the audience go, oh, what?

[00:17:56] And then, especially when like, I, it's still, it's still a song.

[00:18:01] So, she said, I, I, I should have taken a closer look at those movies.

[00:18:04] Yeah.

[00:18:04] It's still sing songy.

[00:18:05] And then he leaning in and it says like, Denise 2004.

[00:18:09] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:09] Holy shit.

[00:18:10] That's dark.

[00:18:11] That's dark, man.

[00:18:12] So, with the success of this one, do you think we'll see Dan Bulla do more of like a Robert

[00:18:16] Smigel kind of thing where he's doing some more of this stuff?

[00:18:18] I hope so.

[00:18:18] Well, clearly they're, I mean, I don't think that-

[00:18:21] You don't build that.

[00:18:22] You don't do that at the end.

[00:18:22] You don't put end caps on, on something like this unless you want it to be a thing.

[00:18:26] You let it happen and then, oh, if it, if two or three happen, then you start labeling

[00:18:30] it.

[00:18:30] But clearly they're looking for something here.

[00:18:32] Although I will say what I'm a tad worried about now-

[00:18:37] Oh, here we go, Nate.

[00:18:37] No, no.

[00:18:38] Here's what bread's, oh, here comes sourpuss bread.

[00:18:40] No, no.

[00:18:41] When I say this, you're going to be worried about this too.

[00:18:44] Coronavirus.

[00:18:44] Coronavirus.

[00:18:45] Where's Please Don't Destroy?

[00:18:47] You know, you know.

[00:18:49] Three episodes in.

[00:18:50] You know I've been upset about that.

[00:18:52] Three episodes in, no short.

[00:18:54] Have they written anything?

[00:18:54] I don't think they've written anything yet.

[00:18:55] Have they?

[00:18:56] Yeah.

[00:18:56] What did they write?

[00:18:58] They wrote this week, real quick, oh, the next one.

[00:19:02] Oh, okay, perfect.

[00:19:04] As long as they're still writing like that-

[00:19:06] Oh, never mind.

[00:19:07] I'm good.

[00:19:07] Oh, well, fine.

[00:19:08] No, because if they weren't writing anything, then I would have said maybe they're off doing

[00:19:11] like another project or something like that.

[00:19:13] Don't forget that we just had a digital short last week.

[00:19:16] No, I know, but that's-

[00:19:17] So that's why they wouldn't be in that one.

[00:19:18] But still, you gotta be-

[00:19:19] And you got this one this time.

[00:19:20] I know, but that's what I mean.

[00:19:21] You gotta be worried.

[00:19:21] Oh my god.

[00:19:22] You gotta be worried.

[00:19:22] No, you don't.

[00:19:23] They have to be doing something too.

[00:19:26] I mean, I just-

[00:19:27] They could be.

[00:19:28] I genuinely don't believe they've gotta be either-

[00:19:30] Nope, they left the show.

[00:19:31] Another movie.

[00:19:32] Or they're working on some stuff for the special that they're working, you know,

[00:19:36] like maybe they've been attached to create some things there.

[00:19:39] I don't know.

[00:19:39] Lauren would just say do both.

[00:19:41] Yeah, no kidding.

[00:19:41] Yeah.

[00:19:42] But like-

[00:19:43] Guys, I know it's a lot to ask, but just do both.

[00:19:45] No, I'm gonna need you to be there this week.

[00:19:47] We're just gonna do both.

[00:19:48] Who-

[00:19:49] Now you're saying that you're sleeping at home.

[00:19:51] Nate, do yours.

[00:19:52] Why is that?

[00:19:52] Nate, do yours.

[00:19:54] Hi.

[00:19:54] Oh.

[00:19:56] Lorne Michaels here.

[00:19:58] Let's talk about-

[00:19:58] Is that a good Lorne?

[00:19:59] Well-

[00:19:59] It's not, but that's what-

[00:20:00] It's mine.

[00:20:01] Lorne really likes to talk about the show.

[00:20:03] It's a really big show.

[00:20:04] Oh, you do a little more because it's gotta be a show.

[00:20:05] Ed Sullivan?

[00:20:07] A really big show.

[00:20:08] You're doing a little Ed Sullivan there, buddy.

[00:20:10] Mmm.

[00:20:12] I thought it was-

[00:20:12] I thought it was Vets, right?

[00:20:14] I think it was-

[00:20:14] Oh, we're gonna have to talk about the show.

[00:20:17] Yeah, Ed Sullivan all day long.

[00:20:18] Yeah, and I think we're getting-

[00:20:20] We're actually moving further away.

[00:20:22] Yeah, we listen back.

[00:20:24] Brad started off pretty solid, and now it's just a really big show.

[00:20:27] I would've taken away the show.

[00:20:31] You hear about this?

[00:20:32] You hear about this?

[00:20:32] Hey, ladies!

[00:20:36] All right.

[00:20:36] Gene Shallon here.

[00:20:39] Moving on.

[00:20:40] Charades.

[00:20:42] Written by-

[00:20:44] I believe this is called Charades with Mom.

[00:20:47] No, it's just Charades.

[00:20:48] It's Charades.

[00:20:48] It's not.

[00:20:49] Written by Ariana Grande, Bowen Yang, Martin Hurley-

[00:20:52] A writing credit.

[00:20:53] And Ben Marshall.

[00:20:54] Yes, this actually was inspired by Ariana Grande's mother, who had this-

[00:20:58] That's hilarious.

[00:20:59] Who had this thing happen?

[00:21:00] Yeah.

[00:21:01] There was something kind of similar to this.

[00:21:03] Like, sure.

[00:21:04] Ariana Grande's mother was like, I'm gonna shoot you in the head.

[00:21:07] Whoa.

[00:21:08] I mean, that's clearly what happened.

[00:21:09] Played by Ariana Grande, Andrew Smukes, Jane Wickline, and Emile Wackham.

[00:21:15] plays charades but keeps insulting their son.

[00:21:19] Played by Michael Longfellow's boyfriend, Bowen Yang.

[00:21:21] I would like to take a pause just for a second because-

[00:21:25] You're gonna talk about Wickline.

[00:21:28] That the public has spoke.

[00:21:32] In this last episode-

[00:21:33] Have they spoke or have they spoken?

[00:21:35] It doesn't matter.

[00:21:39] They got to tell us which one of us was right last week.

[00:21:44] Right.

[00:21:44] But let's also, let's hear-

[00:21:46] And which one of us was right, Nate?

[00:21:49] Me.

[00:21:50] Unfortunately, you changed your opinion and joined my side.

[00:21:52] And so you, by extension, as well.

[00:21:54] Hey, buddy.

[00:21:55] Hey.

[00:21:55] It's good to be right.

[00:21:56] I'd like to point out that two members of the public spoke and they were on opposite ends

[00:21:59] of the equation so no one can say.

[00:22:01] What are you talking about?

[00:22:01] Alex Pappas said that he hated that you made him agree with me again.

[00:22:07] He didn't have to agree with you.

[00:22:09] You're right.

[00:22:09] And Joe Wicker didn't have to agree with you, but here we are.

[00:22:11] No, but Joe Wicker was right because he agreed with me.

[00:22:13] Oh, that's cute.

[00:22:13] Yeah, it's true.

[00:22:15] Alex is just not a good friend.

[00:22:17] Yeah, no, and Alex likes you, that's some fair.

[00:22:19] Yeah, he's your friend.

[00:22:20] If you were to bring Alex in on a phone line or in person right now and say, you know,

[00:22:25] you're doing this because you like Brad, he would 100% deny it.

[00:22:28] Actually, I hate to agree here, but Alex has a-

[00:22:32] I genuinely don't like Brad last time.

[00:22:34] That's your only defense, Brad?

[00:22:36] Oh, no, it's not my only defense.

[00:22:37] No, no, but it works really well.

[00:22:38] My other defense is also that I'm right.

[00:22:40] No, no, that part-

[00:22:41] But you're not right.

[00:22:41] That part's wrong.

[00:22:42] That's cute.

[00:22:43] She wasn't great this time, but she wasn't the worst.

[00:22:45] Like, it wasn't-

[00:22:45] She actually was perfectly fine this time.

[00:22:48] She was great this time.

[00:22:58] Exactly.

[00:22:59] She did not do that.

[00:23:00] She fit in perfectly here.

[00:23:01] Let's give credit where credit's due.

[00:23:02] She did a good job this time.

[00:23:03] Although I will say-

[00:23:04] The star of this is clearly Ariana Grande, right?

[00:23:06] Sure, who fucked up the line.

[00:23:08] But I want to-

[00:23:09] I actually want to give her some, like a very specific compliment, and I think this comes-

[00:23:15] Who?

[00:23:15] Who's her?

[00:23:15] Ariana Grande.

[00:23:16] Okay.

[00:23:17] Yes.

[00:23:18] I was like, who else are I talking about?

[00:23:21] Yeah.

[00:23:21] Well, I didn't know we were still doing this.

[00:23:23] Yeah, Ariana Grande, I want to give her a compliment because she does flub a line here.

[00:23:27] Yes.

[00:23:28] But she also very quickly recovers and gets it back on track without missing a beat.

[00:23:33] Like, it's like a media, and that to me comes from her being a theater kid and doing

[00:23:38] stuff on stage and knowing how to recover from a mistake and not let it ruin it.

[00:23:43] It's true.

[00:23:43] Especially because when it came to the cue cards, like 95% of the time, she's saying

[00:23:48] stuff very precise and enunciating, and it's clear.

[00:23:51] I know.

[00:23:51] And not really looking- it didn't look like she was, you know-

[00:23:54] Using the cue cards.

[00:23:55] Yeah.

[00:23:56] They're reading.

[00:23:56] People read the cue cards.

[00:23:57] I thought Nate was going to say-

[00:23:58] Hey, Jacob Alordi, looking at you, buddy.

[00:24:00] Yeah.

[00:24:00] I thought Nate was going to say, and not looking ugly.

[00:24:04] He's looking like she needs a burrito, but other than that-

[00:24:06] Oh, boy.

[00:24:07] But no, no, she was great in this, especially when she had to start with the insults flying

[00:24:13] off the wall.

[00:24:14] Yeah.

[00:24:14] That was so good.

[00:24:15] And I actually really liked, as hokey as it was, the cut to the saggy dummy-

[00:24:20] Oh, absolutely.

[00:24:21] It was great.

[00:24:21] The way it was being spun around in a cartoon.

[00:24:23] I also like, SNL famously or infamously doesn't know how to end a sketch.

[00:24:28] That's how you end the sketch.

[00:24:29] Yeah.

[00:24:29] It was great.

[00:24:30] They made out.

[00:24:31] It was an escalation point.

[00:24:33] Yeah.

[00:24:33] Quickly.

[00:24:34] You said famously or infamously.

[00:24:37] What is the difference there?

[00:24:39] Because I'm-

[00:24:48] Infamous-

[00:24:49] Infamous.

[00:24:50] Really?

[00:24:51] I never knew that.

[00:24:51] Okay.

[00:24:52] I wasn't sure how we-

[00:24:52] Yeah.

[00:24:53] I forget it.

[00:24:55] I have a very small-

[00:24:58] Oh, boy.

[00:24:59] Production issue-

[00:25:00] We know.

[00:25:00] That bug.

[00:25:01] We know.

[00:25:02] We know.

[00:25:02] We know, buddy.

[00:25:05] It's fine.

[00:25:05] Who's to say?

[00:25:09] Ariana Grande is playing a mother-

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:12] Looks very mom with the sweater, the haircut and everything.

[00:25:15] You're talking about the tattoos.

[00:25:15] Tattoos.

[00:25:16] Yeah.

[00:25:16] The very end, you see the tattoos on her hand and I'm like, that mom doesn't have those

[00:25:20] tattoos.

[00:25:21] I know, but again-

[00:25:23] Do you like your tattoos?

[00:25:23] Are you gonna cover them up?

[00:25:24] I don't really know the details of them to say-

[00:25:26] But are you gonna cover them up in every sketch?

[00:25:27] No, I was gonna say that's the thing that sucks is like-

[00:25:29] I mean, honestly, you should because most of the characters she played probably aren't

[00:25:33] gonna have those tattoos.

[00:25:33] Are you saying moms don't have tattoos?

[00:25:35] No, I'm not saying moms don't have tattoos.

[00:25:37] I'm just saying that the kind of tattoos she has on her hand, a mom who looks like that

[00:25:40] isn't gonna have them.

[00:25:41] I don't know.

[00:25:42] No, it's called the reformed mom because she said I'm gonna shoot you with a gun and

[00:25:45] now those tattoos mean something.

[00:25:47] She went to a rally.

[00:25:48] Okay, that's a fair point.

[00:25:49] Went to a rally.

[00:25:50] No, no, I like what Ben said.

[00:25:51] You don't have to do anything.

[00:25:51] More conservative.

[00:25:54] But no, this was a hilarious sketch.

[00:25:56] Oh yeah, this is great.

[00:25:57] I wish this was the one that they led with after the monologue.

[00:26:00] I was laughing a lot at this.

[00:26:02] Bowen and Michael Longfellow sitting there and-

[00:26:05] But this is a sketch between Ariana Grande and Bowen Yang.

[00:26:09] There was one-

[00:26:09] It was wonderful.

[00:26:10] I wish I remember what the line was, but it was the pecker line that was particularly

[00:26:14] funny.

[00:26:15] That was like the first one she throws out at him about it.

[00:26:18] And then of course just keeps going back to how small his dick is to the, obviously

[00:26:23] to the escalation point where he's like, I'll take it out right now.

[00:26:26] And then, so then is it Dismukes is the dad?

[00:26:28] Yeah.

[00:26:28] He has to stand up like, do not take your penis out.

[00:26:32] It was so good.

[00:26:32] I meant gay as in stupid.

[00:26:35] Oh yeah.

[00:26:36] Yes, that was one of my favorite ones.

[00:26:39] No, I meant as in stupid or bad.

[00:26:41] I love that line.

[00:26:43] Also, Bowen Yang making out with all the women.

[00:26:47] Yeah, he's not gay.

[00:26:49] We established this.

[00:26:50] We established this a long time ago.

[00:26:52] With the Sidney Sweeney's.

[00:26:52] I mean, maybe Sidney Sweeney's scene did something to him.

[00:26:56] Maybe instead of conversion therapy-

[00:26:57] If there's one person who-

[00:26:58] Conversion therapy is just you gotta kiss Sidney Sweeney.

[00:27:00] Sidney, now you're fine.

[00:27:01] If there's one person of that generation that probably could, it's gonna be Sidney Sweeney.

[00:27:05] Now, I know who that is.

[00:27:07] Yeah.

[00:27:07] I might not know who Carpenter is, but I know who Sidney Sweeney is.

[00:27:11] Why do you think that is, Ben?

[00:27:13] Because she's an actress instead of a singer.

[00:27:17] And I watch movies.

[00:27:19] Oh, Nate.

[00:27:20] Good enough save?

[00:27:21] Moving on.

[00:27:22] Nate, please save, moving on.

[00:27:23] All right, moving on.

[00:27:24] Celine Dion sports promo.

[00:27:26] Celine Dion, played by Ariana Grande, who does a very famous Celine Dion, sings about the UFC.

[00:27:36] Now, as dedicated UFC watchers and wearers of cauliflower ears, are you guys fans of this?

[00:27:45] And did you kind of feel like some in the public were saying on Twitter that she had more of a Latina Celine Dion and less of a Canadian Celine Dion?

[00:27:57] No, I think it's just an exaggerated French.

[00:28:00] And so, like, the way that the impression of Celine Dion has typically gone is, like, you put that emphasis there.

[00:28:07] But I didn't think it sounded any Latina at all.

[00:28:10] So, this is the same accent that, like, Jean-Claude Van Damme has when he's doing, when he's speaking.

[00:28:19] Listen, when he was in Expendables 2.

[00:28:22] What?

[00:28:22] Listen to this.

[00:28:23] He's playing, like, a French-Canadian guy.

[00:28:26] And it sounds exactly like this.

[00:28:28] Like, I just watched this movie, like, through the night.

[00:28:31] And he's delivering these lines, and they sound, he's like,

[00:28:35] And it sounds almost like you're doing a Latino.

[00:28:38] Yeah, but that's not at all.

[00:28:40] It's very French.

[00:28:40] That's not how Celine Dion sounds, though.

[00:28:42] Well, that's a bad impression, then.

[00:28:44] Because it...

[00:28:44] No, because I don't think she was doing that at all.

[00:28:47] It did definitely sound like there was, it was Latino mixed with...

[00:28:50] I didn't hear any of that.

[00:28:51] Latino mixed with Canadian.

[00:28:53] And I have those ears.

[00:28:53] But I think that's just kind of how, if it's a hard French, part of the French-Canadian,

[00:28:59] like, French and Spanish are both romance languages, they kind of sound the same.

[00:29:03] I'm just not sure that you know what those sound like.

[00:29:06] I'm right, you're wrong, it's fine.

[00:29:09] Anything else?

[00:29:11] Yeah, anything else stupid you want to say?

[00:29:13] I just think that they, listen, all languages that aren't American sound alike.

[00:29:16] Is that what you want me to say, Brad?

[00:29:18] American?

[00:29:18] American language?

[00:29:19] Yeah.

[00:29:19] American language.

[00:29:20] Not these damn Brits with friggin' chips and guacamole.

[00:29:24] That...

[00:29:24] What?

[00:29:26] It was like, almost like it was like a...

[00:29:28] I just don't know what's happening to us anymore.

[00:29:30] Anyway.

[00:29:31] Also, you love chips and guac.

[00:29:32] I love chips and guac.

[00:29:34] So, the sketch.

[00:29:36] They...

[00:29:37] So, Celine Dion, sure, like, I get it, what they're doing here.

[00:29:41] The weirdest part for me is there's clearly nobody's really watching...

[00:29:47] Nobody on that show watches the UFC or has seen it lately.

[00:29:51] They're pulling stuff from UFC 1, right, in the old clips.

[00:29:55] So, I get what they're doing, they're trying to find old funny stuff, but it just...

[00:29:59] It really takes it out of it a little bit because nothing...

[00:30:01] That's from 30 years ago.

[00:30:03] So, that just tells me that Ben is a UFC fan and like...

[00:30:06] No, I'm not a UFC fan, but I just know that what's...

[00:30:08] It's just not for him.

[00:30:08] What's new and what's not.

[00:30:10] It just...

[00:30:10] It's like...

[00:30:12] They're building a universe here where they're doing a very recent promo.

[00:30:16] Yeah.

[00:30:16] So, make it believable.

[00:30:17] You wouldn't show clips from UFC 1 if you were truly doing a UFC promo.

[00:30:21] Eh, I don't know.

[00:30:22] You're crap.

[00:30:23] Listen, just because the...

[00:30:24] I think it's kind of lame.

[00:30:24] Oh, the mom shouldn't have tattoos on her.

[00:30:26] You're showing the best of UFCs.

[00:30:28] You won't convince people to be into UFC.

[00:30:30] It's a sports promo.

[00:30:30] I can't complain about her tattoos as a mom if I can't complain that they're using 30-year-old clips.

[00:30:35] By the way, it wasn't that great.

[00:30:36] Can we agree?

[00:30:36] No, no.

[00:30:37] I think this was a perfectly average sketch.

[00:30:39] I think her impression itself was good enough to sustain it for the most part, but it also

[00:30:43] doesn't really have any levels to it.

[00:30:46] It was a great Spanish accent.

[00:30:48] All right.

[00:30:49] It is time for Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che.

[00:30:53] I'm going to hand it over to my good Ben.

[00:30:56] My good Ben buddy.

[00:30:57] My good Ben Brad.

[00:30:58] Brad, no.

[00:30:58] My good friend Ben to explain the pedometer while at this time Brad actually puts the number

[00:31:06] into his phone so he can't hoodwink us anymore.

[00:31:09] Explain the pedometer real quick for our friends Benjamin.

[00:31:12] The interaction between Michael Che and Colin Jost on a scale of one to 100.

[00:31:17] If you know, you know.

[00:31:18] If not, listen to another episode.

[00:31:20] Brad, I don't even want to do this anymore because he is so all over the place.

[00:31:24] No, the pedometer's broke.

[00:31:25] It's broken.

[00:31:25] It's broken.

[00:31:26] You know what?

[00:31:26] Just like his soul.

[00:31:27] He just said broke again instead of broke and broken.

[00:31:30] Whatever.

[00:31:30] It doesn't matter.

[00:31:31] 70.

[00:31:32] Nate?

[00:31:35] Don't stare at me because of your bad grammar.

[00:31:36] I don't know.

[00:31:37] I'm looking at you to look in your eyes to see what the number is.

[00:31:40] I don't know.

[00:31:40] You'll never get it because these eyes don't tell secrets.

[00:31:42] 73.

[00:31:44] You're both wrong.

[00:31:45] It's 99 and here's why.

[00:31:47] What did you guys go so low for?

[00:31:48] It was 84 last week.

[00:31:51] Yeah, and this week was not nowhere near.

[00:31:53] This was not good.

[00:31:53] What are you talking about?

[00:31:54] They had a very clear back and forth.

[00:31:58] Like Che made a joke at Colin's expense.

[00:32:00] They were laughing at each other's jokes.

[00:32:02] Last week they were literally counting each other's jokes off and you thought it wasn't

[00:32:07] that much.

[00:32:07] I don't even understand.

[00:32:09] It's like you guys don't listen.

[00:32:10] You don't pay attention.

[00:32:12] If you were in tune to the pedometer, you wouldn't have these problems.

[00:32:15] What did you do?

[00:32:16] Give it a 95?

[00:32:17] I gave it a 93.

[00:32:18] Oh my God.

[00:32:19] Yeah.

[00:32:19] We're not doing this anymore.

[00:32:21] Pedometer's over.

[00:32:21] This is dumb.

[00:32:22] We're never doing this again.

[00:32:24] Show notes for next week.

[00:32:25] No pedometer.

[00:32:25] Take a week off.

[00:32:26] First of all-

[00:32:27] No, no, no.

[00:32:27] We're taking a week off.

[00:32:28] You're purposely doing this.

[00:32:29] We're taking a week off.

[00:32:30] We're doing it wrong.

[00:32:30] Well, we're taking a week off because there's no new show.

[00:32:32] Yeah, there's a new show next week.

[00:32:33] Yeah, there's four shows.

[00:32:34] We talked about this.

[00:32:36] So we're not doing the Bradometer next week.

[00:32:38] Wait, do you hear that?

[00:32:39] No one cares.

[00:32:41] Brad's just mad that he forgot there's a fourth show.

[00:32:43] He is.

[00:32:44] I'm just mad.

[00:32:44] Make fun of my grammar.

[00:32:46] First of all, you bet your ass I'm mad at that.

[00:32:47] Second of all, second of all-

[00:32:49] 93.

[00:32:50] The Bradometer is named-

[00:32:51] 93 is like one of the best he's ever given.

[00:32:53] Exactly.

[00:32:53] That's not even true.

[00:32:54] I gave it a 99 once.

[00:32:55] Yeah, on a joke swap episode.

[00:32:57] We've been doing this podcast for like 17 years.

[00:32:59] The Bradometer is named for me.

[00:33:01] And I'm sorry if you don't understand it, but this is your fault.

[00:33:05] Double point.

[00:33:06] Well, next week we got the Benometer.

[00:33:08] Benometer.

[00:33:09] Because I trust that.

[00:33:10] That only Nate gets to do.

[00:33:12] I trust that.

[00:33:13] That only Nate gets to do.

[00:33:14] You don't even get to do it.

[00:33:15] Our listeners no longer trust the Bradometer to be a source of truth about SNL.

[00:33:23] And we can no longer have you on this show.

[00:33:25] That's fine.

[00:33:26] I'll see you on January 6th.

[00:33:32] All right.

[00:33:33] So what did you guys think of Weekend Update?

[00:33:35] That's like finding out that the Doppler radar is like sponsored by Newsmax.

[00:33:38] You know, like it was a trusted thing that I thought just was, it was just a, it was just

[00:33:43] like independent.

[00:33:43] Our listeners are going to be upset, but also not surprised.

[00:33:46] If a certain sector of the population wasn't controlling the weather, we wouldn't have

[00:33:49] to worry about Doppler radar, would we?

[00:33:51] He's their Marge.

[00:33:53] All right.

[00:33:53] Let's move on, honestly, to the Weekend Update pits.

[00:33:56] Well, first of all, I want to point out the two back-to-back jokes actually.

[00:34:00] I just don't even know that I want to hear him talk right now.

[00:34:02] Do you?

[00:34:03] The voice kind of grates on me.

[00:34:04] The two back-to-back jokes that I really liked and this was kind of partially what inspired

[00:34:08] a little bit of their back and forth too was, first of all, Che had the fruit fly joke,

[00:34:13] which is where he's like, the mind of a fruit fly probably looks a lot different from a straight fly.

[00:34:17] And it got the groans and it got Jost like, tutting and that's when there was, he did the,

[00:34:22] it's the 90s, like, you know, and that started another runner for them.

[00:34:26] Then right after that, Jost had the thing where the survivors of Hiroshima got some kind

[00:34:32] of prestigious award, which was the second biggest surprise in their life.

[00:34:35] And that was another groner and it was back-to-back and they, I fucking loved those jokes so much.

[00:34:41] The first time that they did the, that Che did the, it's the 90s.

[00:34:44] That was really funny. This does not have the same, it's got very diminishing returns for me.

[00:34:49] But now I think he's...

[00:34:50] And you probably gave that episode that had better versions of it's the 90s, you probably gave that an 80.

[00:34:55] But I think he's tapping into like repeating it now even more so on purpose.

[00:34:59] So it's, it's, it's an added layer of fun.

[00:35:02] Anyway, I, I like those two jokes a lot during the, the normal weekend update stuff.

[00:35:06] Moving on.

[00:35:07] Weekend update bit.

[00:35:08] Monica, a happy Amazon employee on Prime Day.

[00:35:11] Monica played by Ego Wodum, a happy Amazon employee stops by to discuss Amazon hitting a record number of orders on Prime Day.

[00:35:19] Did you guys buy anything on Prime Day?

[00:35:20] No.

[00:35:21] There was nothing that really tickled my fancy.

[00:35:22] I did buy a couple things on Prime Day.

[00:35:24] For the house?

[00:35:25] Uh, for my business, for a seamless cutter.

[00:35:29] What'd you buy?

[00:35:30] I mean some...

[00:35:30] Stop it.

[00:35:31] Stop.

[00:35:31] No one cares.

[00:35:32] Bad.

[00:35:34] No, bad.

[00:35:35] This isn't GoFlix Yourself.

[00:35:36] I didn't buy anything for you.

[00:35:37] Okay.

[00:35:39] Moving on.

[00:35:40] Next week.

[00:35:40] Brad just, you know.

[00:35:41] Brad just, you know.

[00:35:42] Brad just, you know.

[00:35:42] Brad just, you know.

[00:35:42] Brad's not making this fun.

[00:35:43] Brad usually wants you to buy something for him.

[00:35:45] He's not making this fun anymore.

[00:35:47] No.

[00:35:47] This is not the podcast for your Amazon Prime.

[00:35:49] For fun?

[00:35:50] For fun?

[00:35:50] For fun?

[00:35:50] I didn't know that.

[00:35:51] I didn't know it was called Saturday Night Live Dead.

[00:35:54] Ego Wodum was great in this.

[00:35:56] It's definitely a very basic bit for her to do, but I thought that she was very good at

[00:36:01] it.

[00:36:02] And so I was, I was entertained by this.

[00:36:05] The, the, the only really good thing about this update bit is I'm glad that she really

[00:36:11] does know how to run that tape gun.

[00:36:12] Oh, she was doing a great job.

[00:36:13] I'm not joking.

[00:36:14] Like we have one of those at work.

[00:36:15] We use it all the time and it's hard if you don't, if you've never used one, you can't

[00:36:19] really do it.

[00:36:19] She was great.

[00:36:20] She must have a lot of practice with it.

[00:36:21] It's cool.

[00:36:21] I worked in shipping and receiving for a while and I love me a good tape gun.

[00:36:25] Uh, her energy is the thing that kept this thing passable.

[00:36:29] But other than that, there's nothing here.

[00:36:30] Yeah, no, I was, I was in love with it, but I thought it was, it was, I thought it was

[00:36:33] amusing.

[00:36:33] Nothing here except for her performance.

[00:36:35] Her performance was good.

[00:36:35] The comedy wasn't that great.

[00:36:37] No.

[00:36:37] Yeah, I agree.

[00:36:37] Like I said, it wasn't strong.

[00:36:38] Wasn't anything to write home about.

[00:36:39] No, you loved, we get it, we get it.

[00:36:41] Whatever.

[00:36:42] Alright, if it was Heidi Gardner, you'd be jizzing yourself, Ben.

[00:36:46] Right, but it wasn't.

[00:36:47] Yeah.

[00:36:48] But no denial.

[00:36:49] Of course not.

[00:36:50] I love Heidi Gardner.

[00:36:51] That's very clear.

[00:36:55] Moving on, weekend update bit.

[00:36:57] Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher on Oasis' reunion tour.

[00:37:01] Oasis members Noel and Liam Gallagher, played by James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman,

[00:37:06] arrived to discuss their long-awaited Oasis reunion tour.

[00:37:10] By the way, is that true?

[00:37:11] Are they?

[00:37:11] Yeah, they really are.

[00:37:12] Yep.

[00:37:13] And everyone's wondering if it's actually gonna happen.

[00:37:16] Everyone?

[00:37:17] I, no, I, who cares about a, about a band that is, is always been honestly like so

[00:37:26] overrated.

[00:37:27] Oh, I would-

[00:37:28] Oasis is fucking terrible.

[00:37:29] I would say they're over.

[00:37:30] Compared to how, no, compared to how much they think they are gods?

[00:37:32] Oh, of course, but like-

[00:37:33] Fuck them.

[00:37:34] I don't wanna give them any money.

[00:37:36] I'm not, I'm-

[00:37:37] They think they're better than the Beatles.

[00:37:38] You don't have to.

[00:37:38] What the fuck happened?

[00:37:38] Yeah, no one's forcing you to go.

[00:37:40] I'm not, but let's not talk about them.

[00:37:41] But no, I, so, so let me, first of all, did you guys like this bit?

[00:37:55] I wanna give a shout out to assholes in England, cause you suck.

[00:38:00] Uh, there were so many people when this sketch was posted from the SNL Twitter that were all

[00:38:05] from like, across the pond in it, uh, who were like, were like making fun of the accents,

[00:38:10] like, is this what passes for comedy in America?

[00:38:13] All this fucking bullshit.

[00:38:15] And we're like, yeah, it is, cause you guys suck.

[00:38:17] And I'm like, for a nation that gave us Monty Python and the original version of The Office,

[00:38:23] the fact that you can't recognize they're doing intentionally bad stereotypical British

[00:38:27] accents to make fun of Liam and Noel Gallagher, you're out of your fucking mind.

[00:38:32] I'm sorry that if Oasis is your fucking second coming and you can't take a joke about your

[00:38:36] two brothers who act like children, but fuck you and fuck Oasis.

[00:38:39] Having said that, James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman being these cute bickering childish

[00:38:46] brothers who were like tickling each other and poking and prodding each other.

[00:38:49] That was hilarious.

[00:38:50] And that's the bit is having the Gallagher brothers act like fucking children.

[00:38:55] It was not hilarious.

[00:38:56] I don't know.

[00:38:57] It was good, but for me it was hilarious.

[00:38:58] That part of it was good, but.

[00:38:59] Watching Sarah Sherman's face, especially during this, the way she like reacts to James Austin

[00:39:04] Johnson, it was great.

[00:39:06] And the back and forth between them was really, especially their timing was perfect.

[00:39:09] On the legend stuff.

[00:39:11] And then it was just really funny to me.

[00:39:13] I just, I enjoyed it a lot.

[00:39:15] Good for you.

[00:39:16] Man?

[00:39:16] Wow.

[00:39:17] You guys are really just not just enjoying.

[00:39:19] No, it was like the tickle stuff was good.

[00:39:21] You know what?

[00:39:21] Ever since the breadometer thing, I just, I think.

[00:39:23] Let me just make it clear.

[00:39:24] I had a higher, you know what, before that I was really high on this and now after the

[00:39:28] breadometer thing, I'm like, yeah, it was fine.

[00:39:30] You're such a broken man.

[00:39:31] You just ruined everything.

[00:39:32] You're broken inside.

[00:39:33] And I'm, I like, as your friend, I'm glad that you laugh at something.

[00:39:38] Don't condescend to me.

[00:39:40] As your previous friend?

[00:39:41] Whatever.

[00:39:42] That's generous.

[00:39:44] All right, let's get back to some funny things.

[00:39:46] Yes.

[00:39:47] Castrati, a young boy played by Ariana Grande was castrated by his parents.

[00:39:54] Hold on.

[00:39:54] I just love, I love, let's get back to something funny.

[00:39:57] And then the deadpan delivery of the description.

[00:40:00] A young Italian boy was castrated by his parents.

[00:40:03] On the lighter side of the news, Hurricane Milton claimed the lives of 11.

[00:40:09] So he could sing with a high pitched voice.

[00:40:13] Now, you guys probably do know that this was a, this was a thing, right?

[00:40:17] Oh yeah.

[00:40:17] Um, and boy's quiet.

[00:40:19] The Italian Renaissance?

[00:40:22] He he he he.

[00:40:23] Got him.

[00:40:23] That was a good joke for you?

[00:40:24] Shut up, ugly.

[00:40:25] No, this, this, this explains a lot.

[00:40:26] Yeah.

[00:40:27] This explains a lot why you, the last 10 minutes of the conversation.

[00:40:30] I said maybe.

[00:40:32] That's funny.

[00:40:34] All right.

[00:40:36] So, um, this was good.

[00:40:38] I like this a lot.

[00:40:39] I like this.

[00:40:39] This is solid.

[00:40:41] Uh, this was funny.

[00:40:42] Hey Brad, this was funny.

[00:40:45] This was good.

[00:40:47] Leaning into area Ariana Grande having obviously a very high voice.

[00:40:50] Um, Ariana Grande, uh, was the best part of this sketch panning to her and then just

[00:40:56] the look on his face.

[00:40:58] The closeup cuts to Ariana Grande.

[00:41:00] Yes.

[00:41:00] Shattered expression.

[00:41:01] Yes.

[00:41:01] Were hilarious.

[00:41:03] Those are classic.

[00:41:04] I also laughed immediately when she came out and I saw that fucking wig.

[00:41:08] Yes.

[00:41:08] Yep.

[00:41:08] The most clunky, big bowl cut from the Italian Renaissance and she looks hilarious in it.

[00:41:15] Almost like Lord Farquaad.

[00:41:17] Yep.

[00:41:17] Yeah.

[00:41:17] Just, just so good.

[00:41:19] And I love the, uh, how you say, uh, just castrati.

[00:41:23] It's like, you're not gonna, how you say.

[00:41:25] Ah yes, uh, Keenan.

[00:41:28] Yeah.

[00:41:29] That's, that's an improv for sure.

[00:41:31] Yeah.

[00:41:31] Right.

[00:41:32] It seemed like it for sure.

[00:41:33] Cause Keenan broke immediately.

[00:41:35] Yeah.

[00:41:35] Uh, this, no, this was extremely funny and I do like that they managed to get, uh, Samberg

[00:41:41] and Rudolph back in there for at least just one other sketch.

[00:41:43] If they're there and they want to be a part of it.

[00:41:45] Just have fun.

[00:41:45] Yeah.

[00:41:45] Have fun.

[00:41:46] No, I a hundred percent agree.

[00:41:48] Use, you've got all these people hanging around, you know, the set right now.

[00:41:52] And they don't.

[00:41:53] They don't feel like shoehorned in.

[00:41:56] That's the perfect part.

[00:41:57] They feel very, very natural.

[00:41:58] Yeah.

[00:41:58] It's not like, uh, uh, when you're putting the, uh, Rolling Stones guys.

[00:42:02] What was it?

[00:42:03] Mick Mick Jagger.

[00:42:04] Just throw them into something.

[00:42:05] Yeah.

[00:42:06] It just didn't work, but this actually works.

[00:42:08] They're doing a great job.

[00:42:08] I agree.

[00:42:10] So we all like this.

[00:42:11] Yes.

[00:42:12] Wow.

[00:42:12] We're back on.

[00:42:13] Okay.

[00:42:13] We were on before, but you guys just were broken inside.

[00:42:18] And we're back.

[00:42:19] It's just, why did you, why did you let it go?

[00:42:24] Maybelline.

[00:42:25] Maybe.

[00:42:26] Jennifer Coolidge played by Chloe Fineman that talks to Jennifer Coolidge played by Ariana Grande

[00:42:31] in the mirror while promoting Maybelline, a cameo by longtime former cast member Dana Carvey

[00:42:36] who plays another version of Jennifer Coolidge.

[00:42:39] What'd you guys think of this?

[00:42:40] Did you enjoy it?

[00:42:41] Obviously they both do a very good Jennifer Coolidge.

[00:42:45] Yeah.

[00:42:45] I was actually, who do you think does the better Jennifer Coolidge?

[00:42:48] I think it's still Chloe Fineman, but man, was I very impressed by Ariana Grande.

[00:42:52] I don't think it was Ariana Grande that did a better Jennifer Coolidge in this sketch.

[00:42:56] I think the one thing that Ariana Grande has in her favor is she, she can do something

[00:43:01] with her eyes and her lips that works better than what Chloe Fineman is doing with her face.

[00:43:06] There's something that she does with her face that much more inhabits like the expression

[00:43:10] that Jennifer Coolidge often has.

[00:43:11] Do you still think that Chloe Fineman does the better impression?

[00:43:13] I think Chloe Fineman's vocal impression is a little bit better than Ariana Grande.

[00:43:17] I think you close your eyes and Ariana Grande still gets it.

[00:43:20] That's a weird dream to have.

[00:43:23] No, I think Dana Carvey actually has the best impression.

[00:43:26] Part of me wonders if this sketch has maybe been sitting around since Jennifer Coolidge was supposed to host

[00:43:32] at the end of season 49 before the strike happened.

[00:43:35] And they put Ariana Grande in Chloe Fineman's position?

[00:43:38] No, that they put Dana Carvey in Jennifer Coolidge's position.

[00:43:41] Oh, gotcha.

[00:43:41] Because I wonder if she would have cameoed as herself as the third Jennifer Coolidge.

[00:43:45] Because that feels like something that they...

[00:43:47] Or if Jennifer Coolidge is hosting, she's sitting in the chair.

[00:43:50] Right, exactly.

[00:43:50] And then Chloe Fineman and then somebody else as a third one would have come in.

[00:43:54] Yeah, but maybe.

[00:43:54] But this was the, this was the, a new version of the Jimmy Fallon Mick Jagger thing.

[00:44:00] And it was, it put a nice spin on it.

[00:44:02] No, no, I liked this a lot.

[00:44:03] Yeah.

[00:44:03] And I, I'm glad that they did the physical thing too with the spraying the windex and stuff.

[00:44:08] Oh, that's so good.

[00:44:08] Yeah.

[00:44:08] Which they were both close to breaking on.

[00:44:10] Yeah.

[00:44:11] This is very good.

[00:44:12] No, this was a lot of fun.

[00:44:14] And yeah, having Dana Carvey just pop up at the end was a total surprise and also a blast.

[00:44:19] It was good.

[00:44:20] All right, final one, the hotel detective.

[00:44:22] A woman played by Ariana Grande finds herself entangled with a hotel detective played by James Austin Johnson.

[00:44:31] This sketch really, James Austin Johnson in this sketch really reminded me of Phil Hartman.

[00:44:39] Yes, absolutely.

[00:44:40] And watching this old timey, right?

[00:44:44] Phil Hartman was great at the old timey stuff also, but there was a, there was a humor here and there was a, there was a feeling in here that brought me back to old Phil Hartman types of sketches.

[00:44:55] This did have a nineties kind of vibe to it.

[00:44:58] And I think that this is another area where Ariana Grande showed how good she is at doing a show like this and how precise she is at saying things that are intentionally fast talking tongue twisters.

[00:45:09] I was gonna say the, this sketch is made or broken on the precision of James Austin Johnson and Ariana Grande.

[00:45:18] Yeah.

[00:45:18] They had mouthfuls of very specific things to say that are alliterative and they had to really, really do it well.

[00:45:25] And they did.

[00:45:26] Yeah.

[00:45:26] I was especially impressed with James Austin Johnson.

[00:45:29] Yes.

[00:45:30] Some of the things he had to say with the, you know, hotel, I was like, wow.

[00:45:33] Yeah.

[00:45:33] It's just not even funny, just impressive.

[00:45:35] Yeah.

[00:45:36] Um, I think that's why maybe I didn't love this one as much is because it's not incredibly funny.

[00:45:41] It's just a skill base.

[00:45:42] Yeah.

[00:45:43] Uh, and so it's, it was amusing, I think.

[00:45:45] And I, I was not expecting the twilight zone framing, which was a nice little bonus.

[00:45:49] Right.

[00:45:50] Um, but otherwise, yeah, I, I liked this one, but I, I wish I could have loved it.

[00:45:54] Well, this is what you get when you get into the sixth season episode five of the twilight zone.

[00:45:59] No.

[00:45:59] Yeah.

[00:45:59] I mean, it was, it was fine.

[00:46:00] Yep.

[00:46:01] You know, solid, but from a, from a comedic standpoint, fine from a performance standpoint, very impressive.

[00:46:06] And honestly, they, at least they didn't throw in like brought to you by white castle.

[00:46:09] It's what you create or whatever weird way to end it.

[00:46:12] So honestly, it's probably a little better than it could have been.

[00:46:15] All right.

[00:46:15] That is our episode.

[00:46:16] Let's go to, uh, the final couple of questions here.

[00:46:20] Um, who'd you guys have for performer of the night cast member of the night?

[00:46:25] MVP.

[00:46:26] You want to do it, Brad?

[00:46:27] You don't, you want to say it?

[00:46:28] It was definitely Ariana Grande.

[00:46:29] Yeah.

[00:46:30] And I a hundred percent agree here.

[00:46:31] And you usually have a hard time with putting the host as the MVP.

[00:46:34] Because according to Brad, they have to really go above and beyond.

[00:46:37] It's a good Brad and Bruce.

[00:46:37] You're supposed to be, uh, you're, you're, you're, you're professional and you're on the

[00:46:41] show because of something.

[00:46:43] And so there's an expectation.

[00:46:45] Okay.

[00:46:45] And so really for me to, for me to give up my highest honor for me, for me, uh, for

[00:46:51] me, sure.

[00:46:52] I like how this turned into a bodybuilding podcast with Brad instead.

[00:46:55] Sure.

[00:46:56] That's the voice that you're doing.

[00:46:57] Uh, anyway.

[00:46:58] So, you know, eat your Wheaties and get up in the morning 442 AM every morning.

[00:47:02] Wheaties have too many carbs in it.

[00:47:03] Say your prayers.

[00:47:04] Okay.

[00:47:04] And then have a good day.

[00:47:06] I'm Brad Owen.

[00:47:07] I felt like he was getting a little too Hispanic there at the end.

[00:47:09] Don't you?

[00:47:09] Oh, come on.

[00:47:10] You're getting anxious.

[00:47:12] All right.

[00:47:14] Uh, no, um, I, I think it's Ariana Grande simply because, uh, when I went back to go look

[00:47:19] at, uh, my review of the first episode, I, I enjoyed what she did.

[00:47:23] I said she was bad.

[00:47:24] No, no.

[00:47:24] She, I said she was good.

[00:47:25] Cause I was like, Oh yeah, I forgot that they did this kind of thing.

[00:47:27] Uh, but here she did go above and beyond because she didn't do just musical impressions

[00:47:32] this time.

[00:47:32] She had other impressions.

[00:47:34] There was a certain difficulty level with the sketches that she performed as far as

[00:47:37] how the live dialogue went and how precisely she needed to perform it.

[00:47:41] She did an incredible job with that.

[00:47:42] And some of the sketches I felt like not that only she could, she could have done, but she

[00:47:46] brought a unique talent to them.

[00:47:48] Yeah, exactly.

[00:47:48] And so, so yeah, so I was thoroughly impressed by how good she was and now I'll be excited

[00:47:53] whenever she comes back rather than being like, meh.

[00:47:56] Of course.

[00:47:57] All right.

[00:47:58] Next.

[00:47:59] Uh, what was the sketch of the night?

[00:48:01] Brad?

[00:48:03] It, my, it's my best friend's house.

[00:48:04] My best friend's house.

[00:48:05] It was mine too.

[00:48:06] Of course.

[00:48:07] Guys.

[00:48:08] Yeah, we did it.

[00:48:10] We actually agree.

[00:48:11] We ended on a positive note.

[00:48:12] It was the best sketch of the night by, by, by far too.

[00:48:15] Yeah.

[00:48:16] It was not, not that everything was much worse, but no, it was just such a good short execution.

[00:48:20] Everything.

[00:48:21] It was on an episode like last time where Bear Gatsy's episode was pretty high all over.

[00:48:25] This one definitely had peaks and valleys.

[00:48:27] Yeah.

[00:48:27] And nothing was really, the valleys were not deep.

[00:48:30] No, no.

[00:48:30] But, but the, but the, but the peaks were not very high either.

[00:48:33] It was just pretty, pretty solid.

[00:48:35] This was, this was a peak for sure.

[00:48:36] But that was about it.

[00:48:37] But that, but I think Ariana Grande crushed it.

[00:48:39] And that sketch in particular was fantastic.

[00:48:41] Just off the charts.

[00:48:42] Good.

[00:48:42] Yeah.

[00:48:43] I really enjoyed it.

[00:48:44] All right.

[00:48:44] Braddy Bear, what do we got coming up next week?

[00:48:47] Pete Davidson.

[00:48:48] Oh no, that's not true.

[00:48:49] With a musical guest Guns N' Roses.

[00:48:54] What Guns N' Roses song is that?

[00:48:58] Oh, he was doing, uh, Sweet Child of Mine.

[00:49:00] There you go.

[00:49:01] But very badly.

[00:49:02] Very poorly.

[00:49:03] Hey, you got it eventually.

[00:49:04] Oh, honestly?

[00:49:05] Now that I'm thinking through.

[00:49:06] I'm a, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

[00:49:10] Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

[00:49:10] You know, Sweet Child of Mine.

[00:49:12] By the way, I will not have judgment from Ben on this.

[00:49:16] That's fair.

[00:49:17] That's very fair.

[00:49:18] I don't know how to do anything musical.

[00:49:19] Anybody has a story on their podcast, go flick yourself.

[00:49:21] Um, listen to it only for Brad, Ben singing.

[00:49:27] Anyway, uh, who is hosting next week?

[00:49:29] I already forgot.

[00:49:30] Michael Keaton will be back.

[00:49:31] Oh, that's right.

[00:49:32] The Batman himself.

[00:49:33] Yes.

[00:49:33] He hasn't hosted since 2015.

[00:49:35] With musical guest.

[00:49:37] Billy Eilash.

[00:49:38] Billy Eilash.

[00:49:39] Yes.

[00:49:39] Billy Eilash is the musical guest.

[00:49:42] Hopefully, she'll be having fun in sketches as well.

[00:49:44] She's hosted herself and she has gotten in on the sketches from time to time when she's

[00:49:47] only a musical guest.

[00:49:48] I need more Billy Eilash in more sketches.

[00:49:50] She is phenomenal.

[00:49:52] Reel it in, buddy.

[00:49:53] Oh, calm down.

[00:49:54] I was literally talking about how funny she is in sketches.

[00:49:57] Also, I am in love with her.

[00:49:58] It's fine.

[00:49:59] And then we got, uh, November 2nd has been announced obviously as well.

[00:50:04] We got Mulaney coming soon too and I'm very, very excited about that.

[00:50:07] So, that'll be the election episode.

[00:50:09] Yep.

[00:50:10] With Chapel Roan.

[00:50:11] Okay.

[00:50:12] All right, guys.

[00:50:14] We're very excited that you're with us for this and whether you're listening through

[00:50:18] Please chime in and just shit all over Brad's breadometer.

[00:50:21] Yeah, but don't talk bad about Brad.

[00:50:23] But Brad sucks.

[00:50:24] Don't shit on me.

[00:50:26] Just shit all over the breadometer.

[00:50:27] Brad sucks.

[00:50:28] Just the worst of the worst.

[00:50:30] 93 and what?

[00:50:32] For what?

[00:50:33] Anyway.

[00:50:34] You guys are grumps.

[00:50:36] But anyway, we will be back next week.

[00:50:38] Hey, Brady Bear, where can people find you online?

[00:50:40] Well, if you would like to read a full review of my episode of SNL.

[00:50:46] We call them bad takes.

[00:50:47] We should call them Brad takes.

[00:50:48] But you can check out Slashroom.

[00:50:51] I will now.

[00:50:54] I will now, yeah.

[00:50:56] And I post my review earlier than this podcast.

[00:50:59] So you can go there and read my thoughts and read some things that maybe I didn't say here.

[00:51:05] Why are you saying things in there that you don't say here?

[00:51:07] Yeah.

[00:51:08] That's my safe space.

[00:51:09] So don't worry about that.

[00:51:09] Did you remember to include us in a link on that?

[00:51:12] Not only did I remember, but I did.

[00:51:14] Not only did I remember, but I actually followed through.

[00:51:17] And Ben and I are online too.

[00:51:19] You can find us as you want us.

[00:51:20] All right.

[00:51:21] Hey, like us on Facebook and X or where else?

[00:51:27] Don't talk about X.

[00:51:28] It's called Twitter.

[00:51:31] Hey, we really do love it when you rate and review us.

[00:51:37] Be one of the dozens of people that listen to this on YouTube.

[00:51:41] No.

[00:51:42] Our YouTube listenership just keeps on growing.

[00:51:46] That's good to hear.

[00:51:47] Shout out YouTubers.

[00:51:48] We love you.
