Episode 76 - Michael Keaton (Season 50)

[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's The Ten to One Podcast with your host Brad Oman featuring Ben Conowitz and Nate Lauchs and here's the podcast. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Whoa guys what are you doing? We got Michael Keaton to appear. I don't know what you guys are doing. You guys are getting real crazy around here. That's pretty good. That's not bad Bradford.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: We're back guys with another recap and review of a new episode of Saturday Night Live. This is the fourth of four consecutive shows that kicked off the milestone 50th season of the show and it's been a fun ride so far. It really has. This one kind of started with like a little bit of a valley with a couple decent peaks and then we're kind of riding a wave down a little bit unfortunately.

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_00]: We have not talked about that. Like we don't talk about a lot of it before we record but I'm glad to hear you say that because that's what I felt.

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't a terrible episode. It just felt aggressively average and it's not to say that this is Michael Keaton's fault by any means. I do think this is a case where the cast and crew maybe are running out of steam. Fourth episode in a row. You're getting pretty tired.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They typically don't do four in a row. Yeah exactly and sometimes even on the third one you're like oh they need a break.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It just felt like they didn't use Michael Keaton to his full potential.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Was he in this episode much? That's what I kept thinking of myself.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't feel like it.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't feel like it and some of that I think is because they didn't often have him play a super memorable part.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_01]: They didn't really give him an opportunity to play a variety of characters.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's what we'll get into that once we dig into the sketches but yeah this is you know the fourth episode so I think it's going to be a little bit rough when you have that the tail end of a big run like that.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It was odd. I'm excited about I'm excited that they did four episodes in a row because I was so hungry to get back to it but.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Nom nom nom nom nom.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He's hungry.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know where that was going.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a hungry boy.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But now I understand why they don't do four episodes.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: So before we get into the episode I'm going to do a quick side tangent because I got to do something pretty cool that is SNL related over the weekend.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We're recording this on a Sunday night.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Brad what did you do?

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: On Saturday night I went into Chicago to an event put on by the Chicago International Film Festival because they were presenting someone you guys might be familiar with with a career achievement award.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And that person is Mike Myers.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: The guy that stabs people.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: They brought him in and he killed everybody.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was really upsetting.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So thanks.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So you.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_00]: The silver fox Mike Myers.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh so here's the funny thing.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_01]: The pictures that came out of him from that event whatever before that were all over online.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: He's he's not fully gray.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He's blonde on top.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And he has gray that like on the side where his like hair is shorter and stuff.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not sure.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a very interesting blonde or dyed hair choice.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Well also a different like a an odd time in his life to be like you know what I'm going to go blonde.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's going through some things.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But no.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So it was a career achievement award from the Chicago International Film Festival.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall and News Radio fame who has known Mike Myers for decades.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: What is their connection?

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: They've just known each other for decades.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Both Canadian?

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Both Canadian.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: They've both been doing comedy forever.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_01]: They knew each other you know from running in the same circles.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And so Dave Foley was there to moderate and talk to Mike Myers for an hour and a half.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And they covered everything from SNL to Wayne's World.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I married an axe murderer and Austin Powers and Shrek and all this stuff.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was just really cool just to sit and hear.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I've always loved Mike Myers.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I've always loved Wayne's World.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It's one of my favorite comedies of all time.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And you are a defender of Cat in the Hat.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I really am.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not a lie.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the movie is good by any stretch of the imagination.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think Mike Myers is particularly funny.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah!

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so excited!

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just...

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's really funny in it.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I kind of just realized that he really is one of my comedy heroes.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I've just kind of always looked up to him since I was a kid.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I've loved his characters.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was reminded how...

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I haven't watched them in a little while now.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: How funny the Austin Powers movies are.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things that Dave Foley pointed out during the thing that...

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: They're generationally funny, by the way.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, they define a generation to me.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So Dave said something kind of similar to that.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things I didn't really realize since they came out, or at the time, is those

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: movies came out at a time when it's not as if it was something cool to riff on or popular.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, he made a movie about 60s swinger lifestyle and a spy that was like an old school James

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Bond parody at a time when everyone was like, okay, but who cares?

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And it captured the pop culture zeitgeist.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And like...

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, it captured a heart.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_04]: We all grew up with these movies being extremely popular.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: They were for kids.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, teenagers went crazy for this.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, absolutely.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_01]: People were saying shagadelic and yeah, baby.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And like, all the catchphrases from the movie.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: You still do.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm trying to bring it back now.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I want to...

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I think all of us need to more casually be like, oh yeah, that's shagadelic.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It would just make me happier.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, it was...

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, apparently, like, it also, like, influenced fashion for like a time too, because all of

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: a sudden these bright colors and like 60s styles were coming back because of Austin Powers.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to hear a crazy fact that I just found out literally right now?

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm good.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Austin Powers only made $67 million at the box office.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, because...

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a box office hit.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And the second and third did go on to become really big hits.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But Dave asked, he's like, was Austin Powers bigger at the box office than Wayne's World?

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, no.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, is that true?

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it felt like it was.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But Wayne's World was obviously huge for its time.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, and then we, looking back, are clumping those three movies together.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a generational massive hit.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, the first one was the launching point, right?

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But we're talking, yeah, we're talking the second one.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: This one, the first one made like 60-some million.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_00]: The second one made 300-some million.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That is a huge jump for a second film.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so they played like three separate chunks of clips of stuff from old Wayne's

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_01]: World on Canadian TV before he was on SNL, like Wayne's Power Hour and stuff.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they played some SNL stuff and intercut it.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And they showed clips for Austin Powers.

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And they showed clips for Shrek and stuff.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: How many clips from the Love Guru?

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_05]: This is your role.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Just asking.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Just asking.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I also don't want to shortchange here, because if this is a Mike Myers love fest, his voice

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: acting is Shrek.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And I know that was an originally Chris Farley role.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: But Shrek is another role where I quote still often.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, aye.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: No, he made that his own too.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: He's defined so much of my comedic sensibility.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a story that he's told many times.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a famous part of the making of Shrek.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But initially, they tried to make it as a Canadian character.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He tried to voice it like Lothar, that character that he does.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And then it just wasn't working.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, and they'd already recorded a bunch of dialogue.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And he wanted to read.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: We've done it for Farley, Mike.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not doing it a third fucking time.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So he wanted to redo it.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He realized he thought that it should be Scottish.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And they were so upset.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And to the point where Spielberg, Steven Spielberg called him, because he's part of DreamWorks

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: at the time.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, so why do you want to do this?

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I just, if you want, in order to believe in it, to really feel like we're

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_01]: not shortchanging the audience, I feel like that needs to be the character.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And so he wanted to hear it.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And he did.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And they ended up going through it and everything.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And I guess after they went through all that, Spielberg sent him a letter saying, thank

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_01]: you for doing this.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he was 100% right.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's crazy to think about what the movie was before and what it became.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_04]: We talked about this part of it a tiny bit off air.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm assuming because this is Dave Foley just kind of setting up Mike as a platform just

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_04]: to talk, that he didn't really ask me, some people have said you're notoriously hard to

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: work.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a bit of a dick.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a love fest.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, first of all, yeah, because you don't want to do that when he's getting an award.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course not.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what happened when you pissed this person off?

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, right, right.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But I will say it was...

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Dana Carvey has said.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's Dave Foley and because of their friends, he's not necessarily asking questions

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that provoke interesting answers.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_01]: He's more just saying things and complimenting and hoping that Mike picks up the baton and

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: does things.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And they did a good job of that.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And he told great stories and anecdotes and stuff like that.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But I would have wanted somebody who is looking at from the outside in, basically, and doesn't

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_01]: necessarily know Mike well as a person to ask these questions and get him to talk about

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff that is more of the minutia of character work and just the general mindset when you're

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_01]: working on these movies and things like that as opposed to it being more of a lighter conversation.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It was still hilarious and entertaining.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like an hour and a half.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So as it relates to SNL, though, was there anything there that he said that you remember

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_00]: that would be worthy of sharing?

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the best thing to hear was that, and lots of people from SNL, I think, will tell

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01]: you this, is that he was never really sure if Lorne liked him or thought that he was good.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Even when he got the job, he went there and Dave was actually with him the day that he

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: went to Lorne's office to talk to him about the potential job.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And I guess what he said to him was, so do you think that you can be around New York

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: for the fall?

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was how he said it.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That was the job offer?

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And so after that, they were walking around New York City and were like, so I think I

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: have the job?

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is not unheard of with Lorne.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And he didn't hear for sure for a few months even.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: So it was kind of like, I guess, probably I have it.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And so then, obviously, he's done the show and everything.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He never got really any confirmation about what Lorne thought of him until later.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They were at a wedding and he was talking to Lorne.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: He was like, well, you know, you're always very talented.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And Mike was like, wait, what?

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, really?

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, he's like, I had to call my brother and tell him.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And my brother's like, well, yeah, you were on the show for six years.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of us think that our parents are withholding.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That's really withholding.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Lorne is probably like the quintessential withholding dad.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's probably how he gets the best out of people, you know, because you're always trying to please Papa.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_00]: It is interesting how many former cast members talk about that, though, where they're like.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Just how miserable they were the whole experience.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I never know if Lorne likes me or not.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's the thing that I want so badly is to get the affirmation from Lorne.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: That was one of the best things to hear when on the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast,

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: when they talked about doing Sushi Glory Hole recently and how Lorne, they were both, Akiva and Sam were both like,

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah, Lorne said good job after it was done.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And we were like, yes.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04]: But imagine, like, just that's so toxic, man.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_04]: That's so horrible to hear.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, your whole beginnings of your comedy career for five to seven years,

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_04]: you're just sweating it out, never really knowing if you're loved.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yikes.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Comedians by nature are messed up and vulnerable people.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, for sure.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So they've got, even though it might look like they've got a lot of confidence to get on stage or to do what they do,

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_00]: most comedians, as people like us that study sketch comedy but also listen to a lot of comedians,

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: know that they're fragile.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, 100%.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Little babies.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Little baby birds.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: From one mic to another, let's get back to Michael Keaton's Saturday Night Live, episode four, season 50.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Nate, why don't you bring us into the show?

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Fox News, Kamala Harris interview, cold open.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Brett Baer, played by Alec Baldwin.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to the show.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Whoa.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcomes Kamala Harris, played again by Maya Rudolph for an interview on Fox News.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: This was, again, riding this train, this Kamala Harris train.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_00]: But it had a little bit of a different tone to it, right?

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: There was going back and forth with Trump and Kamala.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But what this kind of did was it took real life events and essentially just redid them on SNL because they were so silly in real life.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_00]: There wasn't as much comedy as I wanted to see here.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's an evergreen statement about most of the political satire we see on SNL.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I think this was probably-

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially in the Trump kind of years.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: This was maybe the least entertaining of the cold opens yet.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Not that it was bad.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01]: This season, yeah.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I think that one of the things that did help it that made it feel like it had some energy was having Alec Baldwin as Brett Baer and that rapid fire back and forth between them.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Maya Rudolph is incredible.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That was good.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That was good stuff.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Both-

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, Alec Baldwin is one of the most decorated hosts of SNL all the time.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He knows how to do sketch comedy.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a hard thing to do.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Rapid fire lines, reading cue cards, live on TV.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Over-talking, but not over-talking.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And that made it feel like it had some good momentum and energy.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But the comedy itself wasn't very funny.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like you said, with the Trump dancing stuff, everyone has been pointing out-

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He knows he's dancing to gay anthems, right?

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_01]: All the songs he's dancing to are all these gay songs.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So fucking weird.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, Brad, what do you think about this?

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Because we're extremely online people, right?

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So the jokes that are made in this sketch were made on Twitter three days ago.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a fair point.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And so is it because we've already heard the jokes online?

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We might be too online.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a fair assessment.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's not necessarily fair.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_04]: The writers are like, yeah, we would have loved to go live with this on Tuesday.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's true.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But we have to wait until Saturday so we write it.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to change it.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_00]: And many people aren't as online as us.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of people that aren't as dedicated to Twitter or X, depending on who you are in this room.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Twitter, no matter who you are.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And so maybe that's part of it.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll give them the grace.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_04]: No, that's fair.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Because obviously they could be making those jokes on Twitter, but they have to save them for it.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And believe me, people are making those jokes on Twitter.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: There was one Trump bit that I thought was particularly funny because it was a very good variation on something that Trump had said.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, the kids are going to Zoltar's.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: They're becoming home big.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was like, okay, that's a really good spin.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a good deep cut.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Somebody did their homework there.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That was good stuff.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Having freaking Fridays.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, otherwise it was fine.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It was fine.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say this.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't bad, which is a good thing.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It was fine.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: We haven't had a bad cold open in season 50 yet.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is a, I'm going to say it's a win for all of us.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a win for everybody.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a win for America.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a win for America.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Fingers crossed that maybe only one more that we really have to kind of worry about like this.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't know, man.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Then the next one, after the election, they're going to do.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Is the next episode after the election?

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's just before.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's why I say one more.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, then there'll be another one after the election.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Then after the election, there'll be a winner's one.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And then they'll just keep riding that because that's what they do.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Right?

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on.

[00:15:50] I don't know.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_04]: They're going to do cold opens for the rest of the season.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's part of the show.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Michael Keaton monologue returning to host SNL for the fourth time.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Actor Michael Keaton discusses how SNL is 50 years old and how he was working on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood at the time when it started.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Mikey Day and Andy Samberg also pop up as versions of Beetlejuice until Keaton does the voice.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_00]: This also has Sarah Sherman in it.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: What did you guys think of this?

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I loved it because Mikey Day and Andy Samberg do a pretty damn good Beetlejuice.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Great Beetlejuice impressions.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: The monologue itself wasn't necessarily exciting or interesting.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say this about many sketches.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Michael Keaton wasn't the best thing about this thing.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Not at all.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Mikey Day and Andy Samberg were.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is particularly-

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He's 73.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's insane.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Michael Keaton is-

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_04]: He looks great.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_04]: My father is 70 and I was imagining if he had to get up there and talk.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, it's hard for a 73-year-old man.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It's midnight, man.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01]: My dad would be sleeping.

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: My father is dead and I imagine if he got up there and talked, I would be like,

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Dad, you're alive?

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Dad, be Beetlejuice.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're hosting Saturday Night Live?

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Glenn, Glenn, Glenn!

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, so this is particularly rewarding for anybody who has been listening to the Lonely

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Island and Seth Meyers podcast because if you go and listen to the episode about the

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: SNL Digital short, Doppelganger, at the very end of that episode, around like the 43-minute

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_01]: mark, they talk about a sketch that made it to the table read and didn't go beyond where

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Andy Samberg pitched doing a cold open version of Meet the Press where Tim Russert was being

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: filled in for by Beetlejuice.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And Andy Samberg wanted to do his Beetlejuice impression.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it would have been-

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It would have killed.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Andy Samberg is very proud of his Beetlejuice.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he did some of the bits on the episode and it would have been a really funny spin

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_01]: on what they normally do for a cold open.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish they would have tried it this time because it would have been great.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Who does the better Beetlejuice?

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Mikey Day or Andy Samberg?

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I think Andy Samberg.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Andy Samberg got the voice down a little bit better.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Mikey Day did have some of the mannerisms down to his physical stuff.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It's still very good, but yeah.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: What's interesting about both of those bits, though, the one from 2006 that didn't make

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: it to the show at all and this one is that Alec Baldwin was there both times and they didn't

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: use him.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's crazy.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's in Beetlejuice.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: That's so funny.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was fun to see that impression come through and the fact that they got to

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: do it with Michael Keaton.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, come on.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to hear Andy talk about that on the podcast because I'm sure that's going

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: to be awesome.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's great.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it was something where I was waiting for the funny bits from Michael Keaton.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I was waiting for a little bit more and then yeah.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But they were enough to carry this and the cut to Sarah Sherman was funny as well.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I just dress like this.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is what I just dress like.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And thank you.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It was good.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: She has a weekend update bit.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It was good to see her in this episode a little bit more.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this last episode that she hasn't been all that featured and we also got

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: a Please Don't Destroy sketch.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Whoa.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Slow down, buddy.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm just saying.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Slow down, man.

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_00]: The universe is right again.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Moving on.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Shop TV Halloween Cookies hosts Rhett and Lindy played by Mikey Day and Heidi Gardner welcomes

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_00]: a cookie monster or cookie maker.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, leave that in.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Leave that in.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_00]: You're not cutting that.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That's hilarious.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_00]: To show off his jumbo zombie eyeballs.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of a cookie monster in this one.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Love it.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So, what did you guys think of those cookies?

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I want some.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I want a couple of them.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: At least.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Like a pair of cookies, please.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I would want to see a lot of cookies like that.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so easy.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was Michael Keaton's practice.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, they did this with an Easter Bunny thing when he hosted last time, right?

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Or was it?

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So, this is the third time they've done this.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: The first time was Gerard Carmichael with a doll that had rainbow hair and also rainbow

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: pubes sticking out of the bathing suit.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: The second time was Adam Driver with a chocolate Santa Claus that looked like a dildo.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, this time they-

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I love this, by the way.

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I love shop TV.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite bit isn't the main bit.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It's always the sound clip bit at the beginning.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the Adam Driver one was hilarious because it was a terrifying scream.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_01]: They're like, whoa, why?

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And this one was the sexy sound.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on, Odell.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a bedroom noise.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what that is.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, who was the minion cameraman?

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought that was the new guy.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_04]: The guy that did Weekend Update.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Emil Joaquim?

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that's one.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so because he has a little bit of stubble and this person was clean shaven.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Was that Michael Longfellow?

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw some people on Twitter-

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_00]: No, Michael Longfellow was the voice.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Keenan was a caller.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Keenan was a caller.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I am right now reading SNLArchives.net and they have nobody listed for that character.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Some people on Twitter thought it might be Jon Hamm.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That would have been fucking awesome.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, I love that conspiracy.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's what I was waiting for.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But it was somebody that the audience knew who it was because they cheered for the person

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_01]: when they cut to them.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's so weird.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And you can't tell because of the fucking goggles.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't see the eyes.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: They're crossed and they're distorted.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So you have to try and tell from the bottom.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And now you understand why you can't recognize superheroes in a superhero outfit.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, when I saw people say it might be Jon Hamm, I watched it again and I was like,

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_01]: is it though?

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it sounds like him.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: But why would Jon Hamm?

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Jon Hamm stops by from time to time.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Why wouldn't you just pop in whenever you could?

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's hilarious.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I have no idea if it was a cast member or if it was somebody famous or what.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: No one seems to...

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm putting it out there online.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_01]: It was Peyton Manning.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to see if we can put a question and maybe the Lonely Island podcast will get

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_01]: around to it.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Because Andy will know.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Andy would know.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, this was a very funny sketch.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great visual gag.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's obviously...

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_04]: They blur the icing.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was...

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious if they got any pushback about how much the cookie really did look like a

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_01]: boob.

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it had the nipple just right there and they did a prominent close up of it.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And I wonder if they had to negotiate.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, no, it can't look too much.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty realistic.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It really was.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, this was really funny.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a great sketch.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't realize that Jon Hamm was...

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, that was a conspiracy going around.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm looking at it online as you guys talk and not listening to you.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That it seems to be...

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Consensus?

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Consensus that that was likely Jon Hamm.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And I can't believe that if he did it, that they didn't say anything in the good nights.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Because usually any bit part, like they say thank you to so and so.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_00]: That's so weird.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of even more funny to me.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, guys.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to give a big welcome back to Please Don't Destroy Skydiving.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Two friends, played by John Higgins and Martin Hurley, have second thoughts about going skydiving

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: after meeting their instructors, played by Michael Keaton and Ben Marshall.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Also stars newcomer Emile Walken.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Was it nice for you guys as it was for me to have them back?

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, okay.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_03]: If anyone's having second thoughts, now's the time to bring it up.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I have been bringing up the thoughts the whole time.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So good.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_04]: It was everything I wanted and more.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_04]: The selfie with the grandfather in the background.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Everything worked.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't as in love with this one for me.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Really?

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_01]: You're wrong.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You're wrong.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You're so wrong.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I think some of it was that it felt like it wasn't quite as rapid fire as their normal

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And it didn't really seem like there was a lot of escalation.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Like there normally is their stuff getting steadily more absurd.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I did think Michael Keaton was great in it and I liked what they did with his character.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was good.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Just of him being like-

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You lost the kids in the horse.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But I thought it was funny.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: It did have less jokes per second.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's why I was a little disappointed.

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But the production value was higher than-

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It really was.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It did look good and it did feel like a proper-

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you not laugh at the end where the propeller takes you?

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh no, of course.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It looks hilarious.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That was just good comedy.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_04]: There's just a couple of things that I really laughed at that were pretty subtle.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Like when they cut back to-

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_04]: What's the new cast member's name?

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Emil.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Emil.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So there's a part where Emil looks back.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Emil.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's not the one where he's watching the YouTube video on how to fly a plane.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the second time they cut back and he's just fully turned around looking at them.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_04]: But nobody even really calls attention to it.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: That really made me laugh.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's a subtle thing, right?

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I bet a lot of people that watch it didn't even see that.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I just laughed so hard when he did that because I'm like, that's just stupid.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It's really funny.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_00]: On a bad day though, Please Don't Destroy is one of the funniest things in every episode.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_00]: That would have pissed me off if that would have been a cut for time.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, for sure.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You know?

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean it was still funny.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I get though.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a standard now, right?

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Please Don't Destroy has a high standard.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And you're absolutely right.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: The tone of this Please Don't Destroy was different.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It was out of the office.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_00]: It honestly felt-

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It was very different for them.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It felt more like a scene that would have been like in their movie as opposed to one

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_01]: of their usual sketches.

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's fair.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So what, are you blaming him for the production value, Brad?

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: No, not at all.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, it was funny.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I just wasn't as in love with it as you guys clearly were.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, well he's having a bad day.

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm having a great day.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I loved it, Nate.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought it was great.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, listeners of this podcast likely don't know this, but Brad Omen, Bradford Omen-

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Loves Milk.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Christian name.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Loves the band Train.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: He is on board, let's say, for Train at all moments.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You want to get Brad excited?

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: He's all aboard.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You want to get Brad excited?

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_04]: You say, hey, hey.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_04]: When I say I'm going to run a train on somebody-

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just I'm going to introduce them to the first three albums of the band Train.

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, in a row.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Simultaneously.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Forbidden Romance.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: A couple play by Ego Wodum and Andrew Smukes tries to convince their families, played by Michael

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Keaton, Heidi Gardner, Kenan Thompson, and Devin Walker, that they belong together through

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_00]: the song, Hey Soul Sister.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't care what anybody thinks about this.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I only care about Andrew and the way that he went for it.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I've laughed so hard at this just because of him.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Just his all-in performance there was perfect.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: If you don't like this sketch, you don't like comedy.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so-

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So good.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_00]: It was so funny.

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Also, I don't know about you guys, but I never actually realized how problematic the

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: song kind of is until they did this sketch and I was like, oh yeah, what is this song

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: about?

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially because I never realized-

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Like the gangster-

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01]: The gangster thug part.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh no.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Is my daughter a gangster?

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm a thug.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Now I don't know what this song is, why anybody liked it.

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what?

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not looking it up because it's problematic.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_04]: The number of times I sang it out loud.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So I just don't want to know.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Ben does love singing Hazel Sister.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Between that and Drops of Juver, I don't know which one's your favorite.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, How to Save a Life though.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not-

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a fray.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, never mind.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess I'm not a soul sister.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But I also-

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Heidi Gardner made me laugh in this a lot too.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And just her little dancing and her little excitement in this.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Devin Walker's like, I'm going to go wait outside.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Keenan and the ego almost laughing.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Keenan broke her immediately.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it was just a normal line reading.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But clearly she knew what was going to happen though.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_00]: She knew, I'm going to guess, the sketch made her laugh.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Because he's like-

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He does say it very earnestly.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Play that song, man.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Young man.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Play that song, young man.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh God.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_01]: One thing I actually really appreciated is how good of a job they did doing this.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I started paying attention.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Because at first I thought, is Andrew's Newks really playing that ukulele?

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But they just did such a good job of him miming it.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I really thought he was playing it.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And having somebody elsewhere, probably someone from the band, playing it.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Because there's one moment late in the sketch where you see he does something and there's

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_01]: just a very slight delay.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I noticed that the very first strum was off.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And then beyond that, I thought it was perfect.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't catch the first one.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I just caught the one towards the end.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was playing it.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But they did a really good job.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: This was-

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: No, this is a-

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Again, this is all predicated on the performer being all in though.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And just committing to the bit hard.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And Dismukes is one of the best.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, honestly.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no wink.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no nod.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_04]: This is him believing that he's this character and going all in with it.

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It made it so funny.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So Dismukes is the reason why I like this.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But I will say, I do think the sketch kind of fizzles out at the end.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_01]: How could it not though?

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Because this is-

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: It is like a five minute sketch by the way.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a one note sketch.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And so the way that they bring the mom and dad in with the guitar.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if you need that.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the thing.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You should have left it when Kenan leaves.

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like you needed some kind of button or something.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And not a stupid button.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, wake up.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But something that should have ended the sketch probably.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_00]: When they give the blessing and then Kenan's like-

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what I want to see?

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I want to see them cut to present day when Train was sitting around with just five white guys.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And one of them goes, hey, I got an idea for a song.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And then cut.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was incredibly funny.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Andrew Smukes was fantastic.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Also, just subtle physical humor and facial expressions from Eggo.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, Heidi.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_04]: But again, this is something that Michael Keaton is in the sketch, but it has nothing to do with him.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_00]: No, and his line delivery wasn't even that great.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, he just-

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Again, this is the fourth episode in a row.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04]: They don't really know what to do maybe with a 73-year-old man at this point.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a funny guy, though.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he's not like an old man.

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's not like they asked Abe Vigoda to do SNL.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: But the other thing is, so they had-

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Abe Vigoda.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Abe Vigoda.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_04]: They had him do Beetlejuice in the monologue.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Abe Vigoda.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_04]: But then they didn't have much else as far as, you know, other parody stuff.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And they could have, right?

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_04]: So I don't know.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you don't ever want to go for the easy joke, but like-

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Put him in something, then.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Michael Keaton.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the thing is, Michael Keaton is such a versatile actor.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And he does comedy so well that it just feels like they didn't fully use him to his full potential.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_04]: They should have had the Michael Douglas call-in show.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And then he's just explaining the whole time why he's, no, it's, I'm actually, my name is Michael Douglas.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_04]: There's another actor.

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I had to change my name to Michael.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have liked-

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So how long were you married to Catherine D. Jones?

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_04]: No, that's not-

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_04]: That's not, that's the other Michael-

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm Michael Douglas.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on!

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Who did this show?

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That would have been pretty funny.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We like making ourselves laugh.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I could do it better.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Fuck you, Ben.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a while, but it's been over two years, but they finally brought it back.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_00]: TikTok, mindlessly scrolling through TikTok is the perfect distraction from becoming a father.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Father.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But this takes all of the TikTok trends and kind of puts them into one sketch.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly how I felt.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Really?

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I still laugh at this.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not terrible.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_00]: No, man.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_01]: This is-

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: This just feels so lazy to me.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It feels lazy because, first of all, everybody on TikTok is already doing this.

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_01]: They're already doing parodies of TikToks.

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And whatever-

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm not on TikTok because-

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not either.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm still-

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: How do you know?

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm still familiar with it because I have a fiance who loves TikTok.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I have a friend who shows me stuff on TikTok.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm familiar with the tropes and trends.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And you see what people are doing because stuff typically ends up in other social media channels too.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Even if you're not on TikTok, you'll see some of the better TikTok stuff come to Twitter, come to Instagram.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the crazy part about this.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't laugh at all about them bringing Domingo to-

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was-

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_04]: So I just-

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Part of me is who is this for?

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Because there clearly are some things in here that are real takes on like-

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_04]: What's the bro lifting thing?

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I don't have TikTok.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure that's a real channel that-

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a family who like they do songs and stuff like that and like dance and like there's a kid in it and everything.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's very popular.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_04]: So then is SNL parodying that for the people that watch that on TikTok?

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course they are.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_04]: But is that the audience that's watching SNL?

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean-

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm sure there's-

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean younger people.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's definitely-

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially because-

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I got that.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially because younger people, they're not watching SNL on TV anymore.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_01]: They're watching on YouTube.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: TikTok.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, yeah.

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Will there be a TikTok of the TikTok?

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, SNL probably has a TikTok, don't they?

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm sure they do.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I bet you they put the sketches on TikTok.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, it's not-

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what?

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Pass.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not just that.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the framing felt like a lazy gag too.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, you missed your baby's birth because you were doom scrolling?

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: No shit.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Hilarious.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And then also, I was frustrated by the fact that they shoehorned in more political stuff when they didn't need to.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you didn't need the additional Kamala, Donald Trump, Joe Biden kind of thing.

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It just felt unnecessary and like it didn't do anything to make the sketch better.

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I was so bored with this one.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_04]: The only one that I really did like was the Heidi Gardner's character because I have seen some stuff about like, I have four, I have 10 kids at 22 and I killed our cow for taco night.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, that's the kind of bullshit that these Instagram famous people do.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_01]: But again, they're not doing anything that's really like that much more funny than what TikTok is already parodying of itself, you know?

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So, moving on.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, moving on.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_00]: It's time for a weekend update.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to get into, we've got a couple different weekend update bits.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_00]: We had a successful weekend update time together.

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But before we get into there, we're going to get into one of the more controversial parts of our podcast.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_04]: No, we're not.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not guessing this week.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm done.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_04]: You can't abstain.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't care.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_04]: He's so bitter.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It's broken.

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like, hey, guess my weight, but the scale is broken.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It hasn't worked for three weeks.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You are broken.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_04]: You're broken, Brad.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not doing it anymore.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I'm broken in other ways.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But the predometer seems to have no rhyme or reason.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_00]: There's no, this isn't an objective scale anymore.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Hundreds of our listeners.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: If you thought it was ever an objective scale, then you're the one who's broken.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Kellen Joseph, Michael J. had no chemistry whatsoever.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_04]: 100, 110, 120.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never, ever.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, they gave each other handjobs on the show at four.

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably a 10.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: First of all, I'm not going to enjoy that.

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I would.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you would.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you would.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: He said you will.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to happen.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so I don't know.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_00]: 77.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_00]: 83.

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but 90.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_00]: See, I don't understand why you're loving this season so much.

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_01]: They've got a good groove going.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Not only has Weekend Update consistently been great throughout these first four episodes

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: of season 50, even in the episodes that haven't been as good overall, this and Gene Smart,

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: but their back and forth has been great.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Che's jokes at Jost's expense have been really good.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Jost making fun of himself has been good.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_01]: They've been laughing.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They've been having a good time.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I will say the slight step down this week was, and you said this last week, this is the

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_01]: week that I'm feeling it, is that it's the 90 stuff.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, okay, Che, let's move on from that.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we've done it, and it's not working as well anymore.

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, the only one, well, it was, never mind.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it was in the cut for time, so never mind.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I won't talk about it yet.

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I don't know.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not like I don't think this is hilarious.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Weekend Update's very funny.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Their back and forth is very good, but it's 90?

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because usually you're the guy that says, like, even with Please Don't Destroy

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: earlier, they need to do more.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: They need to do better.

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_00]: What are they doing better?

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I just think that they have a good chemistry going between them, and there's, I don't know,

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_01]: there's something like an inherent, like, good vibe.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm feeling it.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Weekend Update bit.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: We usually, with new cast members, you give them a chance, especially if they're stand-up

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: or whatever, to give them a chance to kind of work some of their stand-up.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I give them a chance.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_01]: If it's Jane Wickline, then you guys don't give her a chance, and you shit on her.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I give her a chance.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_01]: No, you don't.

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_01]: We tried.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We tried.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely, I think the listeners would disagree.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_01]: No, listeners actually were on our side.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: They actually weren't.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I knew what it was.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No, actually, no, they weren't.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Check the tape.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Check the tape.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_00]: On voting in the 2024 election, Emil Walken stops by.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Weekend Update to discuss voting in the 2024 election as a young person.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: This was his chance.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I had not really watched his stand-up.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty unfamiliar with him.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You're not a big comedy guy.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I am a comedy.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a comedy giant.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Giant.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's tall.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's very true.

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Had you watched any of his stand-up?

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched some-

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I had to look-

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a no.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I did.

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched a couple of his-

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Anytime he does this.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I watched-

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I-

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I-

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you say?

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you say?

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you say?

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you watched?

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the thing that I'm reminded of is-

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, hey, dueling Jay Leno's.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I watched a couple of clips.

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen like a full special, I think.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_01]: But when they announced the new cast members, I am the one on Slashroom staff where I always

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_01]: go and I look up the stuff that's available from them online.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I did see some of his bigger, most viewed stand-up clips because I put one of

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: them in the article.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was familiar with some of his stuff, but I'm not overtly familiar with his material.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So what did you guys think of-

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_00]: You guys are stand-up fans.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_00]: What did you guys think of where he was going with this?

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was actually pretty funny.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this is great.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_01]: This is pure stand-up fare at the Weekend Update desk.

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is what you want to see from the featured players.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_01]: He was nervous.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You could tell a little bit.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: For sure.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But he did have a confidence that was there.

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You could tell that this was a material he had faith in, that he knew what to do,

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_01]: how to deliver it.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And his one big joke that did not land, he saved it a massive-

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Colin wrote that joke.

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Colin wrote that joke.

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Which was perfect.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Great improv.

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Brought everybody back.

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was also a funny joke.

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know why the audience didn't hit it.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I get it.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I know why.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a tense topic.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It was-

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_01]: No, but it went on-

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_04]: No, Nate's right.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_04]: It was hard-

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_04]: No, you're right.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a tough topic.

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_04]: But also, the way his delivery went, he kind of like-

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_04]: There was-

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_04]: The way that that joke goes, there's no real swift punchline.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It just kind of escalates and leaves it there for the audience to start laughing.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when they don't, because it's a tough thing to laugh at, then it dies, right?

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even sure if it's because it's a tough thing to laugh at.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's one of those things where it's that apprehension that he talks about in this

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: bit of because he's Arab and that kind of thing.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_01]: There's some things when certain comedians talk about it, they're like, I don't know

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: if I can laugh at that.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So this is our thing.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone says, you can joke about it.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_00]: We're not sure if we can laugh about it.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Because he does end it with, that's really-

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_04]: White people don't want to laugh at that.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_00]: We're not sure if we can.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we laugh at that?

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_04]: But I thought that was hilarious.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I was dying laughing at it, though.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I was laughing so hard.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it was hilarious.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I really did laugh.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the hard thing with comedians, even like Shane Gillis, where it's like, can we laugh

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_00]: at that or no, because he just said something about Down syndrome people?

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you're like, no, I think we can laugh at it.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Right?

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Because he's talking from a place of love because his uncle has Down syndrome.

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_04]: If you know more about the background of the comic, it makes it a lot easier.

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And clearly, the same with Emil Wacom.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_00]: He loves his dad.

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: He loves his culture.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And I love that it doesn't matter what your fucking culture is, your dad gets older and

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_01]: he's like, let's just tone down that part of our heritage.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, yeah, this was a good debut for him.

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It gives us more insight into like-

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Definitely gives me Marcelo Hernandez vibes from the-

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a little bit.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_04]: For sure.

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Just get an idea of who he is and his comedy style.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I was very, very pleased with it.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, very good stuff.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the show, buddy.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to more.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's get into another weekend update bit.

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah Sherman on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, written by Sarah Sherman, Mike

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Cicenzo, Josh Pratton, and Jake Norwin.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, when I talk about the written by, it's usually because somebody on the show has posted it.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't leave it out purposely, but by the time we record on Sunday, many people have

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_00]: not posted it.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not all the information is out there.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It comes Sunday and Monday and these kind of things.

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the credits of SNL, even if you watch all of them, it never lists the writers for

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_01]: each individual sketch unless it's a pre-tape.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And so we try to call all that information as much as we can by the time we record, but

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: it's not always out there.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So Sarah Sherman starts our weekend update to discuss the return of the Victoria's Secret

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Fashion Show.

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, Sarah Sherman.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, Victoria's Secret.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I absolutely love-

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_04]: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that too.

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I love you.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Anytime Sherman is with Jost, stop the presses.

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't care.

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I love it.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I love it.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I want more of it.

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Her smile brings me in.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_00]: She's having fun.

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_00]: She has it.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_00]: She just has it.

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_04]: So one thing I noticed about this time that maybe I didn't even pick up on the last time,

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_04]: her physical actions with her hands, like interacting with Colin, like she does the

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_04]: whole like where her hands are moving as she's like, he's rifling through the underwear drawer

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_04]: and her hands doing the little charade with it.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_04]: That is so impactful because she's creepily edging towards Colin when she's doing it.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_04]: It really does elevate the comedy and by a lot.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It's so funny.

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Pay attention to her posture.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_00]: She's now, what, three seasons in?

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: She's so much more comfortable than she was even last season.

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_00]: She's owning it.

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_00]: She's so comfortable up there.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Not that she wasn't great every time, but like you could just tell there was some nerves,

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_00]: especially that first season.

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Now she's just freaking having fun.

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not playing doctor with you, Colin.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Once we get to a point where they can like reflect on this period of SNL, something like

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: that, I am really interested to hear Sarah Sherman and Colin Jost talk about where this

[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_01]: dynamic came from and how they realized like it was a thing that they could work on because

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_01]: obviously at some point she's a new person.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Like how do you figure out that you can like easily and effectively make fun of one of the

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_01]: veterans on the show and have become such a great recurring bit?

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And I think that that is a big credit to Colin Jost.

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Because if he's that approachable as a kind of like a legacy character now, a legacy

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_04]: performer, that he's still approachable and like, yeah, if it's funny and I'm the butt

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_04]: of the joke, we're still going to do it.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That's really great.

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And I know this comparison has been made many times before and there's a temptation

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_00]: for all of us who love SNL and are historians of SNL to compare current cast members to former.

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But there is an energy that she has in a kindness that she has and just a welcoming nature that

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_00]: she has that reminds me of Gilda Radner so much.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad you said that because as you were started that sentence, I was like, I hope

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_01]: he says Gilda Radner.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I was thinking of this point in the Saturday Night movie where Gilda Radner's up on the

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_04]: cameraman.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, that's Sarah Sherman vibe.

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I was literally just thinking that same thing.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you know, you get the Belushi to Farley comparisons.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_00]: You get all these comparisons all the time, but she just has this vibe and energy to her.

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_00]: She emanates joy.

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_00]: That is joyful.

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Comedy often, you know, comedy a lot of times right now it seems to be comes out of a lot

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_00]: of pain, right?

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Comedians are broken people.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_00]: They admit to being broken people and we laugh about brokenness.

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah Sherman, I'm sure, has her own things.

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But her comedy comes from this joyful, silly place.

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_00]: The Adam Sandler, the Gilda Radner places that just, I just love seeing it.

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It just brings a feeling to me when I watch it.

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and with her too, I think the additional element that makes her unique and not just

[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_01]: like Gilda is that she's so proud of her weirdness and her, like, that awkwardness she

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01]: has.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, cut back to the monologue, right?

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, thank you.

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she has a very distinct style both in, you know, what she wears and her kind of comedy.

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_01]: She's alternative in more ways than one.

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_04]: She's talking about, you know, please, Victoria, I will bleach.

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, you don't need to do anything.

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_04]: She's a beautiful person.

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, she absolutely is.

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the one thing that people, I think, rightly push back against.

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah Sherman's a beautiful person.

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But I love her obsession with, like, the ugly, though, because, like, she is...

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But she's not a fashion model.

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even want to say ugly, but against traditional beauty, because she talks about

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_01]: the idea of wanting to see, you know, the woman who has hives and, like, the gross underwear

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and, like, the real woman vibe, you know?

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what did you say?

[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_01]: The treasure trail that wraps around her back like a gorilla?

[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It's amazing.

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_04]: It's, yeah.

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So this was great.

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Also, sorry, Michael Che was legitimately disgusted, because when they went to think, he goes,

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm Colin Jost, and there was a beat.

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Michael Che forgot to say goodnight, because he was like, oh, I'm Michael Che.

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you could just see his face.

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_04]: If you rewind it, he was like, come on, man.

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_04]: That's funny.

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_04]: He was really not having a good time.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so funny.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It was good.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a great bit.

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, loved it.

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just good to have her back.

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Uber game show.

[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, two friends, played by Bolin Yang and Sarah Sherman, end up in a game show hosted

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_00]: by their Uber driver, played by Edgar Wodum, and his friend, played by Michael Keaton.

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What did you guys think of this?

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got to fill slots.

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_01]: No, this was one of the more rough sketches.

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, the-

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to like this sketch.

[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The episode took a bit of a nosedive towards the tail end.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And this was a rough one.

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't really feel like they had good punchlines.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, the idea is that your Uber driver is a bit of a conspiracy theorist.

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, the show doesn't go on because it's ready.

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_04]: It goes on because it's 1130.

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's absolutely true, Lorne Michaels.

[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, it's-

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was just not a good sketch.

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a riff on Cash Cab.

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The bits that were tied to timely news and people-

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Conspiracy.

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_04]: But it was the same conspiracy.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_04]: There was no escalation.

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_01]: All of them were like Epstein-

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Keaton's character was nothing.

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_01]: What is going on here?

[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, they gave him a mullet and like some weird things to say, but it was nothing interesting

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_01]: or funny.

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It was just so bizarre to see Michael Keaton in the roles they were giving him.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And then, it didn't help that the mechanism they had for the projection of what was happening

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_01]: to make it look like they were driving felt like it was a little bit choppy here and

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_01]: there too, you know?

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just like, what are we doing here, guys?

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yeah, just a-

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Kind of a misfire all over the place.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_01]: No thanks.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Moving on.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Horror choreography written by Jimmy Fowley, Mikey Day, and Steve McStio.

[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_00]: A stunt coordinator played by Michael Keaton has trouble understanding the directors played

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_00]: by Andrew DeSmook's vision for a horror film.

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Not just a horror film, but Halloween Rises, a movie that does not exist-

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But probably will.

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_00]: As it should.

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Please no.

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You haven't even seen Halloween Ends probably.

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because Halloween Kills was so bad.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Halloween Ends is a step up.

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So anyway.

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_01]: What'd you think of this one?

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Step up to the streets?

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_00]: As a fan of horror films, Ben, what'd you think of this one?

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_04]: So I get that the premise here, like if you were-

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_04]: If I'm Steven Castillo and I'm sitting around and pitching ideas, like wouldn't it be hilarious

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_04]: if the guy playing Michael Myers was sassy and like dance choreography rather than kill?

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a funny premise.

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Then this comes out, I'm like, oh, so you just didn't do anything else with it.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It was like, what?

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_04]: This is so unnoticed.

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It is a funny thing you say to a friend.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't that be funny?

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I just don't know why this was a sketch.

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But not everything you say to your friends at two o'clock at night.

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But also-

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Ben.

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Again, don't turn my late night texts into sketches.

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to get a lot of Elmer glue stuff.

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it just didn't feel like it had anywhere to go.

[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And what's upsetting is that this seemed like an instance where they did give Michael Keaton

[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_01]: a character to play and he was having fun with it, did a good job.

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But the sketch just didn't really have much life to it.

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And it kind of felt like the cast knew it too because the ending was pretty half-hearted.

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Bowen Yang didn't even fully do the character more like the ha!

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He was just kind of like, the sketch is over.

[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's been four weeks in a row.

[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I'd like to go home.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, just very weird.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And I will say as a logistical thing-

[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy.

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I understand why they don't do this because it adds time to the movement.

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But it always bugs me when they have a costume that is meant to be an accurate representation

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_01]: of something from the movie.

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_04]: They're just floppy over the top.

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they could have tucked the mask into the bodysuit, but otherwise it looks like shit.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It looks like a shitty Halloween costume, literally and figuratively.

[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So-

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's just not-

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, not a great sketch.

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_00]: But that's not the worst of the night.

[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Moving on, table side.

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Things go off the rails at a restaurant when a patron, David Michael Keaton, gets the server.

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Heidi Gardner confused for someone else.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_04]: This was as awkward as a real dinner with my own father.

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And for that reason, this was not the worst sketch of the night for me because I was so embarrassed

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_04]: for everybody, including the actors in the sketch that they had to put up with this.

[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_04]: It was so fucking awkward and I felt it.

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I really did.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It was not comedy, but it wasn't bad to me.

[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Ashley Padilla was doing her job as the straight woman in this.

[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say that.

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like they did a disservice to her because it felt like they always pulled

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_01]: away from her and started zooming in on Michael Keaton too early.

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_04]: This sketch was not ruined by, but this sketch would have been benefited from better camera

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_04]: work.

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Because the decisions that cut away when they cut away-

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_04]: They were doing it in the middle of her lines.

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_04]: They killed the comedy.

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Because she had-

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_01]: She had some good lines.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She had-

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And the audience did still laugh at what she was doing, but it made it feel weird.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Because there was so much room for the wife character to be like, what are you talking

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_01]: about?

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard of this person.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish they would have played that up a little bit more.

[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody else being the straight man at the table, having a Mikey Day, I'm quoting

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Mikey Day reaction.

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, what are you doing?

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Would have been amazing here.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_04]: But for some reason, they just let the two awkward just be awkward the whole time.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_04]: That's all they focused on.

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I will say Heidi Gardner's sudden shout was hilarious, though.

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_01]: That was amazing.

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_01]: That was good.

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, this sketch was so quiet and awkward.

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_04]: There was something here, though.

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And the end-

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_01]: The premise was funny.

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It just was not executed well at all.

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_01]: To the point where the end was deafening silence.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So weird.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_01]: The audience wasn't even sure if the sketch was over.

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Because Mikey Day was like, well, she wouldn't have answered like that.

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll take the check.

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll take the check.

[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_04]: What the fuck is that?

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand that at all.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But again, this was premise heavy.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_04]: There was something here.

[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And it just needed to be safe for another episode.

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the show.

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_00]: But we do have a cut for time weekend update bit.

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So let's get to this.

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Two guys dressed as doctors share last second Halloween ideas.

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And this cut for time weekend update featured two guys dressed as doctors, played by Marcelo Hernandez

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and Michael Longfellow.

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the first time we've really seen them together.

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Stopped by weekend update to share their last second Halloween costume ideas.

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that right?

[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the first time we've really seen them pair up?

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I think so.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_01]: If they've done it before, it's never been quite as prominent as this.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry for it, but this was fun.

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I actually liked this quite a bit.

[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_00]: No, this was great.

[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I can see why they didn't do it because very rarely do you have three weekend update guests

[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_01]: and the two bits they had.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Were still solid.

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't have taken those out.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No, not at all.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_01]: This was very funny though.

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_01]: No, but compared to some of the sketches, this was a funner.

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have liked to see three weekend updates if I could have got rid of some of these sketches.

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But the thing I think I liked about it the most was I didn't see it coming at all.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Two doctors?

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yeah, those two doctors.

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when you see the Menendez brothers in the photo, you're like, oh my God, that's

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_04]: what they look like.

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The only reason I thought there was a Menendez thing coming is because we have written so

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_01]: much recently about it because the show is so popular.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, oh, they look like Menendez brothers.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But man, the costumes threw me off.

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The setup.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the setup was good, but it also veered into different territory where it wasn't just

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_01]: about being Menendez brothers.

[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It was setting up a bunch of other funny costume ideas.

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And they were really funny costumes.

[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was good stuff.

[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It was very well executed with good writing.

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there was good layers here.

[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_01]: There was different bits.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they were wearing a shirt on a shirt.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Shut up, you ugly bitch.

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, this was a really good ... And like Nate said, seeing Longfellow and Hernandez together,

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_01]: it would be great if there was something there.

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_00]: There was some chemistry there.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the next Middle Edition Swartz.

[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Longfellow and Hernandez.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Let him do it.

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_00]: But that is the episode ... Let's get to the ... Oh, no.

[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_00]: My favorite part.

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_00]: No, that was the episode.

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Longfellow where he's like, I'm not even Hispanic.

[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_01]: My family came here from Germany towards the tail end of 1945.

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And my family came here from Argentina at the beginning of 1946.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And then Joe's goes, I don't like that timeline.

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Kyle and Joe's delivery of that was just ...

[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_00]: That was great.

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not loving that timeline.

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That was a great, just completely different bit to have in there.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And I know we've said this before on the show, but we want to remind you, if you want

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_00]: to know where the cover time sketches are, just go to the SNL YouTube page.

[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_00]: You should be subscribed to that anyway.

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But go there, and usually within the 12 to 24 hours after the show, if there's anything

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_00]: they're going to post, they posted it.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's just a great way to get another ... It's a free sketch, right?

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a free time to kind of see something that didn't make the show.

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you pay for the other sketches?

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm just ...

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a free sketch.

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a free sketch.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a free.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Free sketch.

[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're going to see something for free, you have to pay for it.

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Free, that's a new sketch.

[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the episode.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get into what our listeners want more than anything, is to know what was our

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_00]: favorite sketch of the night, and who was the MVP.

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go first with favorite sketch of the night.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I am going to veto tableside.

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Well.

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_00]: That goes my shot.

[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're probably all in agreement here, unless there's ...

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Soul Sister.

[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's Halloween cookies, right?

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I think it's Soul Sister for me.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you serious?

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_04]: As much as I really enjoyed that sketch, I laughed so hard at this music.

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I really did.

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I thought, as a whole, Halloween cookies was ...

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_04]: You're probably right, but I'm going to be a little bit of a bastard here.

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not lying.

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I had a hard time with either of those, and I hate that you guys are dividing me on this.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I was going to go with ... If you guys chose one of them, I'd be like, no, obviously.

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But those two were both very, very funny.

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick, though, Nate.

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with Sarah Sherman's Weekend Update.

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go with ...

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Pick.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Soul Sister.

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, fine.

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Not that you're wrong.

[00:55:07] It's okay.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say that I didn't love the way it ended, but there were more ... That one is sticking

[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_00]: with me more than the other ones.

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_04]: More than the tit cookie?

[00:55:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I just laughed so hard.

[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I laughed a lot at both of them, but I mean, I just ...

[00:55:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Both great sketches.

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And for that reason, DeSmeach is my MVP.

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_04]: That sketch alone was worth it.

[00:55:29] [SPEAKER_04]: He was fucking awesome.

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I am giving mine to Mikey Day.

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Really?

[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because I think he had a great episode.

[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Even in the sketches that ... Even the horror choreographer sketch ...

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He was Beetlejuice.

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, his physical comedy stuff is good.

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_01]: His reaction in the Halloween cookie sketch is always really funny when he's doing the

[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_01]: shop TV stuff.

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Mikey Day had a really good episode.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_00]: It is really hard for Mikey Day because we often don't pay enough attention to him.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because he's typically an everyman.

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He's an everyman.

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_00]: He does so much work.

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a glue guy.

[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And he writes so many great sketches, too.

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And we don't give him the credit he deserves.

[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know what?

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to change my vote.

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I was actually going to go with Sarah Sherman because I was welcoming her back and I just

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: thought she did so well.

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She did have a good episode as well.

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going to go to Mikey Day as well.

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You convinced me.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what?

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go to Mikey Day as well.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we figured it out.

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it is hard to ... Like, it genuinely is hard for me to remember Mikey Day sometimes

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_00]: because he's just ...

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Nah, it still disappears for me.

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Nah.

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't do it to him.

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It is.

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_00]: He's so good.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to be here next week, are we?

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to take a week off, actually.

[00:56:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We've been working hard.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to sit around and bullshit about things you love.

[00:56:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be back with a new episode of the 10 to 1 podcast in a couple weeks after John

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Mulaney returns to Saturday Night Live on November 2nd.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That'll be the last episode before the election.

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they're going to turn that into a makeshift Halloween episode since they

[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_01]: don't really have a full Halloween episode.

[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But we'll see.

[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Because they have done that before where they have had some Halloween sketches stick around

[00:57:04] [SPEAKER_01]: until the early November episode.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see what happens there.

[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But having John Mulaney back, always a treat.

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to see what he has this time.

[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Because typically if there is like a right before holiday, like the Mothers episode, right?

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_04]: They have flowers all over the stage.

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_04]: So for Halloween, if there's one that's really close, they'll do pumpkins and things on the

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_04]: stage.

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But they didn't do that this time.

[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_04]: So we'll see.

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they'll do a nice autumnal theme with leaves and cornucopia.

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, pornocopias.

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Belt buckle hats.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_00]: They have an SNL special on election night, November 4th.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you know anything about that?

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_00]: They announced it.

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_01]: No, actually.

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know if they're going to do old sketches and bring it together.

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, actually, that's probably what it is.

[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, yeah, because they on election years, they have done it's basically a clip show where

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_01]: it's just it's collections of old political sketches.

[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'll bet you that's what that is.

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'll still watch that.

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, 100 percent.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But I always watch the holiday specials when it's just a collection of holiday sketches.

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So.

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, that'll be coming up as well.

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_00]: But excited.

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys do a good John Mulaney impression?

[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I can do an impression of one of his bits.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_00]: What is it?

[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_00]: What is it?

[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_00]: That's funny.

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty much it.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_00]: A little disappointed in us because I thought you guys are pretty good skilled impressionists

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_00]: that you guys would do a Mulaney.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But all right.

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint our listeners.

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to get that.

[00:58:25] [SPEAKER_00]: But Brad, where can listeners find you online?

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you can find me at SlashFilm.com where I do reviews of the new episodes of Saturday Night Live.

[00:58:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I write about other movies and TV shows in addition to that.

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And you can also find me on Twitter at Ethan underscore Anderton where I post about things like movies and TV and Saturday Night Live and sodas and snacks.

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Do us a favor, if you will.

[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Rate and review the podcast.

[00:58:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I know we say this all the time, but we've got a lot of listeners now.

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And I know not all of you have given us a rating.

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We love you forever.

[00:58:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It helps, particularly as we're trying to carve a space out in this SNL podcast universe.

[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I will send you a photo of my zombie eyeball cookie.

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I was worried where that was going.

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know where that was going either, but it's a concern.

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And also, those of you listening on YouTube, we see our YouTube subscriptions growing and our listenership there growing.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Good to have you as well.

[00:59:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Make sure you subscribe to that channel.

[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not a regular subscriber to our YouTube channel, we post all of our podcasts there as well.

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah.

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Bem, you want to say anything else?

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I got it.

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_00]: No, here's my John Mulaney.

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, it's me, John Mulaney.

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm from New York.

[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, Dice.

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, thank you so much for listening to us.

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't forget as well, listen to Go Flicks Yourself, our other podcast where we talk about movies and sometimes TV shows.

[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And actually, we'll have a little special thing coming up for you guys because we're going to be doing an episode that bridges the two podcasts together

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_01]: because we're going to talk specifically, have a little mini episode about Saturday Night.

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We've all seen it.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Jason Reitman's Saturday Night Live movie that is in theaters everywhere now if you haven't seen it.

[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk about that with a little mini bonus episode on top of this.

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Somebody in that movie shows their penis.

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it you?

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it you?

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's true.

[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, thank you so much for listening.

[01:00:15] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back again real soon.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Be good to yourself.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Be good to others.

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Bye-bye.
