Episode 77 - John Mulaney (Season 50)

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

[00:00:21] Yeah buddy!

[00:00:21] Welcome friends, good to have you here on another episode of The Ten to One. And there's a new episode of Saturday Night Live to talk about.

[00:00:29] We did it!

[00:00:30] Oh yeah, we were very much responsible for this.

[00:00:32] There is a new episode that was hosted by none other than John Mulaney. Jonathan Edward Mulaney III. Not his real full name.

[00:00:43] Nope. John Six Time Mulaney.

[00:00:46] Yes, this is his sixth time hosting. Previously joined the Five Timers Club obviously. And whenever John Mulaney comes back to host it's a treat.

[00:00:53] Because even though he's not a former cast member, he's a former writer.

[00:00:56] Might as well be.

[00:00:57] Yeah, he appeared at the Weekend Update desk a few times. He's responsible for co-creating and writing Stefan with Bill Hader and all that stuff.

[00:01:04] And it's just a treat when he comes back because he is a seasoned comedian. He knows his way around sketch comedy.

[00:01:09] Even if he's not necessarily the most diverse performer when it comes to performing in sketches, he just gets it.

[00:01:14] He knows how to do it. And he plays to his strengths. And he also has, he's one of the few people who has kind of a tradition when he comes back to host where he's been doing these New York City based musical sketches that are always elaborate and hilarious.

[00:01:26] He's got specific niche things that still work on a broad level. And so yeah, he brought all that stuff to this episode. And it was, well just to tease it, say I'll say a lot of fun.

[00:01:36] Oh hell yeah, this was great. It was terrible.

[00:01:39] Whoa!

[00:01:41] You're joking.

[00:01:42] Guys, I got jokes.

[00:01:43] You're joshing around.

[00:01:44] I got jokes. I will say this because I've not talked to you guys about this, but does John Mulaney look different to you guys?

[00:01:51] I mean ever since rehab, it's just different.

[00:01:54] It feels like he has a more square jaw.

[00:01:56] Thank you. I think he's had some work done.

[00:01:58] I'm not sure. I don't know if it's that or maybe he's just not as puffy anymore because he's not drinking and doing drugs.

[00:02:04] The hair too. He's grown out of his hair.

[00:02:06] Yeah.

[00:02:07] So his face is framed differently.

[00:02:10] Yeah, it really is.

[00:02:12] The square jaw, I'm like, oh maybe he's hitting the gym hard.

[00:02:15] But then I look at his arm, the rest of his body doesn't look like he's getting swole.

[00:02:20] No, I don't think he's getting swole, but I do think he used to look more like a string bean person.

[00:02:24] And now he feels like he has some definition to his body.

[00:02:27] Well, that's the thing. Drugs will do that to you.

[00:02:30] Yeah, exactly.

[00:02:30] He's just malnourished.

[00:02:31] Yeah, I feel like he had a chin tuned up.

[00:02:34] I do.

[00:02:36] Yeah, Scott's just getting off the drugs.

[00:02:37] I don't think it's his chin though. I think it's his jaw line.

[00:02:40] Yeah, he was arrested with a huge bag of Coke and Adderall.

[00:02:44] And I feel like those two things are going to make you not eat.

[00:02:47] Yeah, it'll do it.

[00:02:47] And I'm sure he was drinking a lot too.

[00:02:49] Yeah, that's partying.

[00:02:50] No, he had firm lines about drinking.

[00:02:53] Of cocaine.

[00:02:54] But in addition to that, I saw somebody post about it.

[00:02:57] It was like they were making a joke.

[00:02:59] They were like, why did nobody tell me that John Mulaney is becoming Peter Gallagher?

[00:03:03] Oh, he could definitely play his son.

[00:03:05] Yeah, especially with the eyebrows now.

[00:03:07] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:03:08] But no, I think he looks good though.

[00:03:10] No, he doesn't.

[00:03:11] He looks good.

[00:03:12] It's just there's something that looks, like you said.

[00:03:14] Something that looks worked on.

[00:03:17] He's not strung out, right?

[00:03:18] And so that helps.

[00:03:19] And he's not high as a kite.

[00:03:20] He's just tired because he's a new dad.

[00:03:23] With a bunch of short people.

[00:03:25] Yeah, we'll talk about that.

[00:03:26] Cold open.

[00:03:28] Nate.

[00:03:29] Bring it in.

[00:03:30] All right.

[00:03:31] The 2024 pre-election cold open written by Mike DeCenzo,

[00:03:35] Suede Green, Allison Gates, Ken Sublett,

[00:03:37] and Shreder Seidel.

[00:03:39] CNN's Caitlin Collins, played by Chloe Fineman,

[00:03:41] checks in with Kamala Harris, played by Maya Rudolph,

[00:03:44] and Donald Trump's James Austin Johnson,

[00:03:46] campaigns on the eve of the 2024 election.

[00:03:50] This felt like we're saying goodbye to some of the characters that have been-

[00:03:55] A hundred percent.

[00:03:56] Candy Sandberg.

[00:03:57] A hundred percent.

[00:03:59] His wording was like he said it.

[00:04:01] Yeah.

[00:04:02] Yeah, he could have done so long for a while.

[00:04:03] For the last time.

[00:04:04] Well, also, on top of that, too, I feel like,

[00:04:07] I don't know if the audience was told or if it just felt like it or whatever,

[00:04:10] but when everyone left, everyone got applause.

[00:04:14] Right.

[00:04:14] That's what I'm saying.

[00:04:15] It was like-

[00:04:16] And I love that.

[00:04:17] Yeah, it was nice.

[00:04:18] Not just because it's a nice homage to them.

[00:04:20] Not homage, but a recognition of them.

[00:04:22] But, at the same time, I like it because, oh, SNL realizes they don't have to do this.

[00:04:27] Like, the next episode with Bill Burr doesn't have to have Jim Gaffigan and-

[00:04:32] Yeah, you don't need all of them.

[00:04:33] You know what I'm saying?

[00:04:34] You'll probably-

[00:04:35] Cameo's here and there.

[00:04:36] Hopefully, you need Kamala.

[00:04:37] Oh, yeah.

[00:04:38] You know, but, well, regardless, you're going to have Kamala.

[00:04:40] Well, you're going to get-

[00:04:41] You're going to get Trump.

[00:04:42] Trump will, in the next episode, anyway, just to see what happens.

[00:04:44] So, I did want to ask, because this was, I think, the 10th or 11th time that a presidential candidate has been on the show.

[00:04:53] Now, Brad, being a Trump fan, were you upset that they didn't invite Donald Trump on?

[00:04:59] Well, I mean, well, first of all, it's a violation of FCC rules.

[00:05:02] You know, you've got to have equal time for the candidates, and I think that it was a piss-poor, classless decision by Lorne Michaels.

[00:05:08] No, no, this-

[00:05:09] Oh, that got me, man.

[00:05:10] I was like, what is he doing?

[00:05:11] I mean, there were people on-

[00:05:12] No, no, to be fair, it legitimately could be a violation of FCC rules that where you're supposed to provide equal time for candidates.

[00:05:19] That, like, it's a-

[00:05:19] I think Lorne Michaels said, I don't care.

[00:05:21] Yeah, I would imagine.

[00:05:22] Either that or they offered.

[00:05:25] They usually could have.

[00:05:26] Trump's like, and I'm going to be in wherever I'm at.

[00:05:28] Here's the thing, too, is-

[00:05:30] I'm going to be jacking up a microphone stand.

[00:05:31] When I hosted, I used to host, for our listeners, I used to host a political radio show on our local political show.

[00:05:37] But we had to follow FCC rules for that.

[00:05:40] And so, 60 days or 30 days before an election, a primary, and then 60 days before a general, if I had-

[00:05:48] If I invited a candidate, whether they're for governor or for city council, I had to invite every candidate for them.

[00:05:55] Here's how you get around with it.

[00:05:57] Oh, go on.

[00:05:58] You invite them.

[00:06:00] But you don't have to be open to their schedule, right?

[00:06:04] Yeah.

[00:06:04] So, you find out where they're going to be speaking somewhere.

[00:06:06] We have it at this time.

[00:06:07] Can you make it?

[00:06:08] And if they say no, then-

[00:06:09] Exactly.

[00:06:09] That's hilarious.

[00:06:10] And so, that's how you get-

[00:06:11] And that's how I did get around.

[00:06:12] Well, it's going to be-

[00:06:13] It's going to be-

[00:06:13] Donald Trump, you can be on SNL, but it's going to be the last 10 minutes of the show, which is going to be at 10 to 1 a.m. Eastern time.

[00:06:21] Can you make it?

[00:06:22] Would you like to be on?

[00:06:22] Yeah, that's when he's up.

[00:06:23] You just have to have-

[00:06:24] He's on Truth Social, posting his 19th Truth post of the day.

[00:06:27] If you think Donald Trump is awake at 10 p.m.

[00:06:30] No, he's already at 1 a.m.

[00:06:31] I think he's on some stuff, too.

[00:06:32] He's on-

[00:06:33] He's a late night guy.

[00:06:33] Like, 88.

[00:06:34] You've seen when he posts, right?

[00:06:35] I think-

[00:06:35] It's always overnight.

[00:06:36] You can automate that stuff.

[00:06:37] I know that he-

[00:06:38] Oh, yeah!

[00:06:39] No, no, no.

[00:06:40] Let me be clear.

[00:06:40] The idea that he's not typing away-

[00:06:42] Let me be clear.

[00:06:43] Not him doing it, either.

[00:06:44] But he's got a team that has it set up.

[00:06:47] He'll probably write it himself, and they'll schedule it to make it seem like he's awake.

[00:06:51] I promise you, I promise you, he's literally just pressing send at 1.24 a.m. from his phone.

[00:06:55] I think-

[00:06:56] He's so old.

[00:06:56] He's so old.

[00:06:57] I don't think he trusts anybody else to do it.

[00:06:59] He doesn't, though.

[00:06:59] Yeah.

[00:06:59] He's such a micromanager, too.

[00:07:02] I have my own message.

[00:07:04] I want to get it out there.

[00:07:04] Who else is going to randomly capitalize words in a tweet?

[00:07:08] You think somebody like-

[00:07:09] Oh, no.

[00:07:10] I still think he writes them, but I just wonder if they just get scheduled at a later time.

[00:07:13] I think I think-

[00:07:14] Because there's so many of them.

[00:07:15] I would be literally willing to bet you 10 to 1 odds that there's just no way.

[00:07:18] Is that because we're on the 10 to 1 podcast?

[00:07:20] Ha.

[00:07:21] The idea, though, that his team has enough control to be like, we're definitely going to-

[00:07:25] Donald, this one needs to go out at 1.24 a.m.

[00:07:27] Yep.

[00:07:27] Our data suggests this.

[00:07:29] Nope.

[00:07:29] You didn't care.

[00:07:30] Anyway, long story short, I liked how they did this.

[00:07:34] They started off with the debate, but then they turned the TV off, and now it's in the

[00:07:37] green room.

[00:07:37] They get everybody their cameo, and then it ends with Kamala Harris herself coming in.

[00:07:42] Wonderful.

[00:07:43] All the way through.

[00:07:44] I don't know that you could do a better send-off slash political goal open right before the

[00:07:48] election.

[00:07:48] Agreed.

[00:07:49] James Austin Johnson also is still-

[00:07:51] Tremendous.

[00:07:51] ...finally tuning his Donald Trump.

[00:07:53] Gosh darn.

[00:07:53] Because if you listen to Donald Trump now, he's also getting lower energy a little bit,

[00:07:57] but he does this thing, and James Austin Johnson does such a good day where Donald Trump

[00:08:03] does this thing.

[00:08:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:08:05] And he just parrots it so well.

[00:08:08] This was, again-

[00:08:09] And I thought he was just great in this as well.

[00:08:11] I'll always say this.

[00:08:12] James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump impression is always fantastic.

[00:08:16] It's masterful.

[00:08:18] It's incredible.

[00:08:19] At a skill technical level.

[00:08:20] Yeah, exactly.

[00:08:21] But just because he's good at that doesn't mean that the stuff is always funny.

[00:08:24] And this was a classic example of all the stuff that Trump has said over the past week,

[00:08:31] few days, is so ludicrous and stupid and dumb and the microphone sex thing where he looks

[00:08:39] like he's sucking off the microphone and jerking it off.

[00:08:41] Nothing that SNL can do is funnier than as ridiculous as that is.

[00:08:45] I still laughed at all that stuff, though.

[00:08:46] I didn't really.

[00:08:47] I was like, oh, yeah, of course they're going to do that.

[00:08:49] Of course I get it.

[00:08:50] Actually, for some reason, and I don't know why, but for some reason, I'm with you, Ben.

[00:08:52] I thought James Austin Johnson's stuff, and I don't always, but I thought it was funny

[00:08:56] this time.

[00:08:57] I think that because it's so hard to parody, I think that he not gets a pass here.

[00:09:02] I think he did find a way to parody it because I watched the clip of Trump doing it, and you

[00:09:07] watch James Austin Johnson.

[00:09:08] There's exaggeration.

[00:09:09] There's truncating the different things that he did and making it into a 30-second clip.

[00:09:15] There's a little nuance there, and I liked it.

[00:09:18] It's fine.

[00:09:19] I think the one part that actually made me laugh was for some reason I always like when

[00:09:24] he leaves out a word, when he's like, I was in garbage truck, and stuff like that is fun.

[00:09:30] So what did you guys think of Kamala Harris, how they brought her into this sketch?

[00:09:36] I love that she seemed to be having fun.

[00:09:40] Oh, yeah.

[00:09:40] Genuinely.

[00:09:41] Genuinely, too.

[00:09:42] Loving this moment.

[00:09:43] It was not like ... She didn't even seem to ... Certainly, I'm sure she had nerves, but

[00:09:47] it didn't seem to be too big for her.

[00:09:49] I don't even know that she had nerves.

[00:09:50] She was just smiling from here, loving everybody.

[00:09:54] And then you see them right by each other, and you're like, oh my gosh, Maya Rudolph and

[00:09:58] her could be sisters.

[00:09:59] So my girlfriend and I watched that cold open together, and she, as they were side by side,

[00:10:06] Ashley goes, I just didn't realize how much Maya Rudolph sounds exactly like her.

[00:10:11] When they did the first laugh together, it was like they were in sync.

[00:10:14] I thought only one of them was laughing.

[00:10:16] Yeah.

[00:10:17] It's crazy.

[00:10:17] And then also, she was smart enough to know, too, because she said her first line very quickly

[00:10:24] when the crowd was still cheering for her, and no one heard it.

[00:10:27] And then finally, when it died down, she said it again.

[00:10:30] So she knows.

[00:10:31] She has that ability, yeah.

[00:10:32] Yeah.

[00:10:33] It was infinitely better than anything the other candidate had ever did on SNL at any given

[00:10:39] point.

[00:10:39] Yeah.

[00:10:40] Well, he got to host his own episode.

[00:10:43] So that was the time thing.

[00:10:45] They owed Kamala a lot from back then.

[00:10:48] But yeah, she was fantastic.

[00:10:50] Oh, she's great.

[00:10:51] She had good timing.

[00:10:52] They obviously had a lot of fun doing it.

[00:10:54] It's a throwback to a bit that I guess you could say is now classic when Fallon did it

[00:10:59] with Mick Jagger in front of the mirror.

[00:11:01] They didn't entirely do the same bit where they were doing the impressions and mirroring

[00:11:06] each other.

[00:11:06] But it was just great to see her.

[00:11:09] It was very, very good.

[00:11:09] She came across a very polished, very, very, very eloquent and stage performer.

[00:11:16] Yeah.

[00:11:16] You don't really get to see politicians all that often be that good at it.

[00:11:21] So I was very happy.

[00:11:22] I also love this moment from Maya Rudolph because she's talked a little bit about this in interviews

[00:11:28] how she never really had her character character.

[00:11:33] Right?

[00:11:34] Like she never had her moment where she was the star of the show.

[00:11:38] Yeah.

[00:11:39] And she's definitely having her moment to shine.

[00:11:41] And it's a reminder of what an incredible...

[00:11:43] I mean, I think all of us do.

[00:11:45] She's an incredible talent.

[00:11:46] But it really does allow her to feature what an incredible...

[00:11:50] She's a skilled impressionist.

[00:11:52] We knew this.

[00:11:53] An incredible performer.

[00:11:54] And she has carried many of these sketches and done such a great job.

[00:11:57] Yes.

[00:11:58] So let's move on.

[00:12:00] Oh, real quick.

[00:12:01] One thing that's interesting.

[00:12:02] I don't know if you guys...

[00:12:03] Ben, I don't think you're caught up on it.

[00:12:04] Nate, you might be.

[00:12:05] But the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast...

[00:12:08] I'm not caught up.

[00:12:09] Andy Samberg had talked about...

[00:12:11] They talked about when he did Beetlejuice with Michael Keaton and whatnot.

[00:12:15] And he had mentioned...

[00:12:16] He's like, it's interesting because he's like, it's been really fun being back at the show.

[00:12:20] He's like, but I've also realized I have re-inherited the stress of what SNL used to be like

[00:12:26] when I was there.

[00:12:26] Because it's exciting and you feel it.

[00:12:29] But you also feel the stress and the worry.

[00:12:31] And he's like, me and Maya, we definitely still have a thing where now we're older.

[00:12:36] We're not quite as worried, but you're still in the middle of it.

[00:12:39] And that stress is still there.

[00:12:42] The one thing that I took away from the Lonely Island podcast, the episodes that I've heard,

[00:12:46] was that.

[00:12:47] Was how Andy Samberg in particular was like, I am so grateful for the time on the show.

[00:12:52] It aged me horribly.

[00:12:54] Yeah.

[00:12:54] I think on...

[00:12:55] He didn't really love that aspect at all.

[00:12:58] He appeared on, I think it was Kevin Hart's Peacock talk show that he has Heart to Heart

[00:13:03] where he has someone on for like an hour and they just talk about everything.

[00:13:06] Is that the one with him and Melissa Joan Hart?

[00:13:10] That's heart and heart.

[00:13:11] I think that's where he specifically said that he left SNL because he knew that if he didn't,

[00:13:17] it was going to kill him.

[00:13:17] Yeah.

[00:13:18] Like he was like not like good mental health.

[00:13:22] And it just, you know, that just goes to show you that comedians are just as vulnerable

[00:13:26] as dramatic actors as like killing themselves for their craft.

[00:13:30] Oh, for sure.

[00:13:30] Sometimes even more so.

[00:13:31] Yeah.

[00:13:32] Yeah, for sure.

[00:13:33] All right.

[00:13:33] Moving on.

[00:13:34] John Mulaney's standup monologue written by John Mulaney.

[00:13:37] Six time host John Mulaney does stand up about his kids, his parents and physical therapy.

[00:13:42] Now we've seen John Mulaney do six different standup monologues now on SNL.

[00:13:48] I'm going to say, love this entire episode.

[00:13:52] I didn't think this was his best.

[00:13:54] No, not his best, but I also didn't think it was bad by any means.

[00:13:57] I just thought it was okay.

[00:13:59] The fuck is wrong with the bull study?

[00:14:00] This was awesome.

[00:14:02] Really?

[00:14:02] That's why I'm saying it wasn't bad by any means.

[00:14:04] This was very good.

[00:14:05] You thought this standup bit was very good?

[00:14:07] And it's probably because I have a torn labrum.

[00:14:10] And I'm not joking.

[00:14:11] I do.

[00:14:12] No, I will say I don't think that it feels quite as polished as his usual stuff, but it

[00:14:18] was still very funny.

[00:14:20] And I have no complaints here.

[00:14:22] Like I just, I love the negative one foot tall.

[00:14:26] I love the three of us in our vaginas talking about the physical therapy.

[00:14:32] I love the old people with the bandit on the back of their hand.

[00:14:36] So the best standup comedy that's observational in my humble opinion is stuff that like when

[00:14:44] you're hearing it, you go, how in the hell have I never had this conversation with one

[00:14:48] of my friends and made this joke before?

[00:14:50] Because it's so easy.

[00:14:51] Anybody could make this joke, but then why haven't you?

[00:14:54] That's the kind of stuff that I love.

[00:14:55] And that's what he's honestly one of the best in the world at.

[00:14:58] One of the things I appreciated, just because it adds an interesting level to it and it's

[00:15:04] fully intentional.

[00:15:05] But like he talks about his wife, but he never says...

[00:15:08] Olivia Munn?

[00:15:09] Yeah, exactly.

[00:15:10] You know, like it's never made entirely clear.

[00:15:12] Like if you know, you know.

[00:15:13] If you don't, it's not really important because like what he's talking about doesn't really

[00:15:16] require you to know who she is.

[00:15:17] And again, Colin Jost has done that, you know, kind of talked about his wife when he did

[00:15:25] stand up at Four Winds or whatever.

[00:15:29] He did the same thing where he talked about his wife.

[00:15:31] And if you know, you know, that makes it funnier.

[00:15:33] But it wasn't necessarily...

[00:15:35] You didn't need to know it was Colin Jost.

[00:15:36] Yeah.

[00:15:36] To get the bit, you know?

[00:15:37] It's that idea of like, it doesn't matter if their wife is famous.

[00:15:40] It's still their wife and they still have husband-wife things.

[00:15:44] Sure.

[00:15:45] I loved it.

[00:15:45] I thought it was great.

[00:15:46] It was very funny.

[00:15:47] Nate, I think you're a little bit wrong.

[00:15:49] I didn't think it was unfunny.

[00:15:50] John Mulaney can't be unfunny.

[00:15:52] I just felt like he finished stronger than he started.

[00:15:57] You can't tell...

[00:15:58] Like him laughing at himself saying that...

[00:16:03] John Mulaney also often doesn't laugh at himself either.

[00:16:06] My grandfather is so old that he was too old to go to World War II, which is the oldest

[00:16:13] thing that has ever happened.

[00:16:15] That's a great fucking joke.

[00:16:17] Yeah.

[00:16:17] That's almost closer level.

[00:16:19] Like, that's so fucking funny.

[00:16:20] I did see some people on Twitter, though, today complaining about his...

[00:16:24] He's saying that his Asian jokes are racist.

[00:16:27] Oh, get the fuck out of here.

[00:16:30] And that person was Brad.

[00:16:32] I don't even understand what was racist about them.

[00:16:35] Like, he's talking about real people who are shorter than he is.

[00:16:38] Yeah.

[00:16:38] He didn't say all Asians are short.

[00:16:40] He said these are who they are.

[00:16:42] Like, their point was is...

[00:16:45] Why do you have to say that they were Filipino?

[00:16:47] Yeah, exactly.

[00:16:47] Why did they have to...

[00:16:48] What did that add that they were Asian other than to point out that Asians are smaller?

[00:16:53] That's just a...

[00:16:54] But it's just true.

[00:16:55] Yeah, that's just a fact.

[00:16:56] If I get counseled for saying that the Asian population is, by and large, pun intended,

[00:17:04] shorter in stature historically, and that's not a good or a bad thing.

[00:17:10] It is just a fact.

[00:17:11] Right.

[00:17:11] That's why it's not weird.

[00:17:13] Yeah, 100%.

[00:17:14] Oh, people.

[00:17:15] I think it is...

[00:17:16] Comedy is hard now because especially, like, on social media.

[00:17:20] Most people are so fucked themselves.

[00:17:20] Like, it is hard.

[00:17:21] It's just so stupid.

[00:17:23] All right, moving on.

[00:17:24] What's That Name?

[00:17:25] Election Edition.

[00:17:27] Written by John Mulaney, Simon Rich, and Marika Sawyer.

[00:17:31] The host of What's That Name?

[00:17:32] Played by Michael Longfellow.

[00:17:35] Hosts a game show where contestants, played by John Mulaney and Sarah Sherman,

[00:17:39] try to guess the names of political figures relevant to the 2024 election.

[00:17:43] There's a cameo by Senator Tim.

[00:17:47] Tim.

[00:17:47] Tim Scott.

[00:17:48] Tim, Tim, Tim.

[00:17:49] Tim Kaine.

[00:17:50] Tim Clinton.

[00:17:52] I loved this.

[00:17:54] This was great.

[00:17:55] This was so funny.

[00:17:56] I loved bringing back...

[00:17:58] Tim Kaine, by the way, great sport.

[00:18:00] Oh, absolutely.

[00:18:01] He's a current senator, and he's coming in as kind of the butt of a joke a little bit.

[00:18:04] Yeah, 100%.

[00:18:05] And he looks so much like Tim Walton.

[00:18:08] Tim Walton.

[00:18:08] Tim Walton.

[00:18:08] I am very politically plugged in, and I had to go, what is his name?

[00:18:14] Oh, I full on forgot his name.

[00:18:16] Yeah, yeah.

[00:18:16] Which is embarrassing.

[00:18:17] Yeah.

[00:18:18] Because that was the man that was a heartbeat away from the presidency.

[00:18:21] So this is great, sharp satire.

[00:18:23] I loved how, and let's be honest, there was a little bit of satire or a little bit of cultural

[00:18:30] critique for the people that say, the online warriors that are like, oh, I'm so concerned.

[00:18:37] It's the most important election in the history of democracy.

[00:18:40] Yeah, there's a lot of poking fun at the self-righteousness of certain people fighting

[00:18:44] on that side.

[00:18:45] Which tend to be pretty liberal people, and so it was certainly a...

[00:18:50] Yeah.

[00:18:50] It's perfectly cast John Mulaney.

[00:18:52] I will say, though, compared to the original version of this sketch, I didn't like this

[00:18:57] one as much because it didn't feel like it was as strong of a use of the concept.

[00:19:04] Like, I don't want them to repeat that again because that was already funny by itself.

[00:19:06] This is an interesting enough spin, and the use of Tim Kaine did help it for me.

[00:19:10] Oh, of course.

[00:19:10] I still thought it was funny.

[00:19:11] For me, though, the part that I thought was really funny was the reveal that Sarah Sherman

[00:19:16] was Margaret Atwood.

[00:19:18] That was fucking hilarious.

[00:19:19] That's really good.

[00:19:20] But before that, it kind of felt like a little too long of like, oh, yeah, we get it.

[00:19:26] I don't know.

[00:19:26] I still was there for the whole thing because...

[00:19:28] I was there for the whole thing.

[00:19:29] Yeah.

[00:19:30] It wasn't too long for me.

[00:19:31] I just thought...

[00:19:33] I remember the original one.

[00:19:34] It was very good.

[00:19:35] You have the doorman.

[00:19:35] Yeah.

[00:19:36] You know, and all that.

[00:19:36] Just the people you overlook in your normal life.

[00:19:39] But I also do really love...

[00:19:42] You win $5.

[00:19:44] Now, for $300,000.

[00:19:47] That's what the original one did, though.

[00:19:48] No, I know.

[00:19:49] That's the original one.

[00:19:49] That's one of my favorite parts about this sketch is that they know, right, that it's

[00:19:53] for $10 million.

[00:19:55] And Bill Hader hosted the first one.

[00:19:57] I'll say this.

[00:19:57] Michael Longfellow, great job.

[00:19:59] Yeah.

[00:19:59] Oh, yeah.

[00:20:00] He had a couple good looks in the...

[00:20:02] I'm a sitting senator from Virginia.

[00:20:04] Okay, pal.

[00:20:05] Yeah, exactly.

[00:20:05] He's got incredible deadpan delivery for these game show hosts.

[00:20:09] Oh, I love it.

[00:20:10] I really enjoyed what he was doing.

[00:20:11] So why did you hate the sketch, Brad?

[00:20:12] I didn't hate it.

[00:20:13] I just thought that it wasn't as good as the first time around.

[00:20:14] I feel like you did, though.

[00:20:15] I feel like you didn't like it.

[00:20:16] Well, yeah.

[00:20:17] Tim Calhoun.

[00:20:20] All right.

[00:20:21] Moving on.

[00:20:23] Beppo.

[00:20:26] This is a Dan Bulla short.

[00:20:28] Written by Dan Bulla, Stephen Castillo, Mike DiCenzo, and Jake Norvind.

[00:20:32] When a NASA mission encounters a problem, the flight director, played by John Mulaney, must inform Beppo, the chimp, about the unfortunate news.

[00:20:40] The cast also includes Mikey Day, Ego Wodum, Andrew DeSmuex, Michael Longfellow, James Austin Johnson, and Sarah Sherman.

[00:20:48] Sorry, I'm sorry.

[00:20:49] A couple comments about this.

[00:20:51] A couple comments.

[00:20:53] Firstly, incredible puppetry.

[00:20:55] And I absolutely mean this.

[00:20:56] It's so good.

[00:20:57] An outstanding puppet.

[00:20:59] It's so good.

[00:21:26] It's so good.

[00:21:29] It paid off.

[00:21:30] Oh, God, yes it is.

[00:21:30] This was hilarious.

[00:21:32] But I'm not lying.

[00:21:34] There were times where the delivery of John Mulaney or the monkey or the Beppo, like, I make proud.

[00:21:42] I make earth proud?

[00:21:44] Yeah.

[00:21:44] And it's like, oh, dear God.

[00:21:46] This is sad.

[00:21:46] And then just the cut to turn the mic back on.

[00:21:50] It's help, help, help.

[00:21:53] I cried laughing.

[00:21:54] I was fucking dying.

[00:21:57] I couldn't stop.

[00:21:58] Help, help, help.

[00:22:00] I think this was directed by Mikey Day, so kudos to him as well.

[00:22:04] It was directed by Dan Bulla?

[00:22:05] I'm pretty sure that's the whole reason why it says that Dan Bulla is short at the end.

[00:22:08] Maybe.

[00:22:10] Nah.

[00:22:11] I would.

[00:22:12] Yeah, you're probably right.

[00:22:13] Yeah, you're probably right.

[00:22:14] So, Brad, what did you think of this?

[00:22:15] No, I love this.

[00:22:17] I was surprised to see the Saturday Night Live Midnight Matinee logo return.

[00:22:22] Yeah, that's true.

[00:22:23] Because I wasn't sure if that was going to be just for my best friend's house thing.

[00:22:26] Now it's clearly that this is maybe a Dan Bulla, like, trademark thing that he's going

[00:22:30] to do before his shorts.

[00:22:31] I'm also curious as to, like, if this is a thing that he actively pursued doing stuff

[00:22:35] like this more often, since he's never had his own signature thing before.

[00:22:40] And again, we've only seen Please Don't Destroy once this season.

[00:22:44] So, I don't know if they're, you know, busy doing other stuff.

[00:22:48] I heard they got fired.

[00:22:50] From who?

[00:22:50] He's making that up.

[00:22:52] But no, I wonder if they've been busy doing other things.

[00:22:54] Obviously, they're still writing on the show, but, like, I don't know if maybe they're not

[00:22:57] doing as many videos because Dan Bulla stepped up to do more stuff like this.

[00:23:01] They could already be working on 50th anniversary stuff, too.

[00:23:05] That's possible.

[00:23:06] I don't know.

[00:23:07] For all intents and purposes, Lauren needs and wants that to be his crowning achievement

[00:23:12] of his career.

[00:23:13] No, that's true.

[00:23:14] By the way, I was right.

[00:23:15] Mikey Day directed this.

[00:23:16] Oh, wow.

[00:23:16] I wonder why they'd say a Dan Bulla short at the end, though, because you usually only do

[00:23:19] that if it's, like, your film that you directed.

[00:23:22] Yeah.

[00:23:22] Yeah.

[00:23:23] On Dan Bulla's Instagram, you know, he wrote this with, obviously, the other three writers,

[00:23:27] and he says directed by Mike Diva, which I think is Mikey Day.

[00:23:31] Oh, no.

[00:23:32] No, Mike Diva is an actual, like, separate person.

[00:23:37] Is that right?

[00:23:38] Yeah.

[00:23:38] Are you just inferring things, Nate?

[00:23:40] Come on.

[00:23:40] Yeah.

[00:23:41] I thought Mike Diva was ... What is Mikey Day's Instagram?

[00:23:46] So Nate has been giving a lot of credit to Mikey Day.

[00:23:48] No.

[00:23:49] No.

[00:23:50] Mike Diva is only a director.

[00:23:52] He's only, like, directs things, but he's not a writer.

[00:23:54] But you're right.

[00:23:55] It is director of pre-taped shorts at SNL.

[00:23:57] Yeah.

[00:23:57] That's an awesome.

[00:23:58] Yeah.

[00:23:58] So my big question is, what is Dan Bulla's capacity, though?

[00:24:02] Yeah.

[00:24:03] Is it his production house?

[00:24:04] I'm going to have to look into that a little bit this week, because that is a great question.

[00:24:09] What does that entail?

[00:24:11] Because I think Robert Smigel did everything, right?

[00:24:14] On a Robert Smigel kind of short, like, you know.

[00:24:17] Yeah.

[00:24:17] I'm obviously going to help, but, like, he was ...

[00:24:19] So my guess is, much like Smigel, this is something that Dan Bulla turns in to Lauren.

[00:24:26] Yeah.

[00:24:26] Fully done, right?

[00:24:27] So it doesn't matter who directed it, who wrote it, whatever.

[00:24:29] Dan Bulla's responsible for pulling it all together, producing it, and then giving it to

[00:24:32] the show.

[00:24:33] That's my guess.

[00:24:34] Yeah.

[00:24:34] That's interesting.

[00:24:35] Yeah.

[00:24:35] I would be curious to ... I'm going to see if I can find out, because actually, I've been

[00:24:38] thinking about trying to reach out to talk to Dan Bulla about these shorts and see, like,

[00:24:44] if those ...

[00:24:45] Yeah, we'd love to hear that.

[00:24:45] Yeah.

[00:24:45] Yeah.

[00:24:46] Talk about, like, what's going on with them, and, like, you know, just dig into it.

[00:24:49] They're great.

[00:24:50] They're absolutely great.

[00:24:50] No, and I just want to see more and more of them.

[00:24:53] I have re-watched My Best Friend's House several times, because I've been showing it to so

[00:24:57] many people.

[00:24:57] I think that it's even more brilliant than I thought it was initially.

[00:25:01] It's just a very tight, like, perfectly pieced together short.

[00:25:07] Like, with the music, the production design, everything.

[00:25:10] There's even, like, there's even more foreshadowing than you think.

[00:25:15] Like, even when you watch it again, like, obviously, you see the stuff that repeats that

[00:25:18] is the part of the sketch that she realizes stuff is wrong.

[00:25:21] But a friend of the Go Fix Yourself pod, Charlie Young, he's been obsessed with it, too.

[00:25:26] And one of the things he noticed is that in one of the early shots outside the house, the

[00:25:30] van that's parked outside, the license plate says X word K-I-L-R for crossword killer.

[00:25:38] Like, yeah, there's a lot of extra stuff in it.

[00:25:40] A lot of Easter eggs.

[00:25:41] Yeah.

[00:25:42] It's ... Yeah, I like it a lot.

[00:25:43] I would really like to dig into more.

[00:25:45] So I'm going to see what I can do.

[00:25:46] So ... Yeah, please do.

[00:25:48] Kudos to Dan Bullock.

[00:25:49] All right.

[00:25:50] Moving on.

[00:25:50] Port Authority Dwayne Reed.

[00:25:53] Dwayne Reed Cashier, played by John Mulaney, rings up two customers.

[00:25:57] Played by Pete Davidson.

[00:25:58] Welcome back to the show and introduce mucs.

[00:26:00] It also features Kenan Thompson, Ego Wode, James Austin Johnson, Sarah Sherman, Michael

[00:26:04] Longfellow, Marcelo Hernandez, Boad Yang, Chloe Feynman, Devin Walker, Emile Walkham,

[00:26:09] and Jane Wickline.

[00:26:10] There's also a cameo by longtime former cast member.

[00:26:14] He's back again in this one.

[00:26:15] So he's in two sketches this episode.

[00:26:19] Andy Samberg.

[00:26:20] What did you guys think of this?

[00:26:22] They've done these musical numbers every ... I don't know if it's every one, but in many-

[00:26:25] I think it is every one.

[00:26:26] In many-

[00:26:27] As soon as you see the open, you immediately know what it is.

[00:26:32] Yeah.

[00:26:32] People were cheering.

[00:26:33] They knew it.

[00:26:33] They knew it.

[00:26:33] They're like, all right, what do we got in store?

[00:26:35] Take me on this journey.

[00:26:35] Let's get fucking weird.

[00:26:37] Yeah.

[00:26:37] And they did.

[00:26:38] I think that the first half is a little shaky.

[00:26:40] I think that the Lion King stuff didn't work quite as well.

[00:26:44] There was something about the rhythm of the lyrics with the music that didn't feel quite

[00:26:49] right.

[00:26:49] The timing was obviously also off with the milk apparatus, which happens from time to time.

[00:26:55] Yeah.

[00:26:55] I think also, I think Kenan's mic was in the costume in a little bit of a weird way because

[00:27:02] the audio music was a little bit louder than his ... I don't know.

[00:27:07] There was something, like you said, technical that didn't feel right.

[00:27:10] Where it picked up steam, though, and where it started soaring was when Bowen Yang showed

[00:27:14] up for me.

[00:27:15] Yeah.

[00:27:15] That was executed flawlessly.

[00:27:18] His performance was really funny.

[00:27:19] And then everything after that was great, from the Timothee Chalamet parade to Andy Samberg

[00:27:25] doing the Hamilton as the Bear the R.S.K. Jr. killed.

[00:27:27] That was so high to me.

[00:27:29] That was so high to me.

[00:27:29] It was Andy Samberg.

[00:27:30] It was awesome.

[00:27:31] Yeah.

[00:27:31] It was really good.

[00:27:31] Also, just as a small bit, it was hilarious that Pete Davidson played himself.

[00:27:37] Yeah.

[00:27:37] That was awesome.

[00:27:38] Hey, here's your milk.

[00:27:40] Pete.

[00:27:40] Thanks, John.

[00:27:41] Why do you think they brought him back?

[00:27:43] Right?

[00:27:44] Any of the cast members just know that.

[00:27:45] John Mulaney.

[00:27:46] Yeah.

[00:27:47] I bet you ...

[00:27:47] Yeah.

[00:27:48] Mulaney wanted him.

[00:27:49] Pete Mulaney.

[00:27:49] Pete Mulaney.

[00:27:50] They're brothers now.

[00:27:51] No.

[00:27:51] I bet you Mulaney wanted him back just to do something fun.

[00:27:54] Okay.

[00:27:54] I also liked his ... When the audience cheered for him, Davidson gave him a cute little

[00:27:58] wink.

[00:27:58] He's like, yeah, thanks, guys.

[00:28:00] No, and I do love that that's probably just John Mulaney going, hey, guys, I'm going to

[00:28:05] bring Pete in for this one.

[00:28:06] Is that cool?

[00:28:06] And everyone's like, yeah, of course.

[00:28:07] Yeah.

[00:28:08] That seems to be the vibe of this whole season.

[00:28:10] Also, I thought he looked healthy.

[00:28:12] He looks good.

[00:28:12] Yeah.

[00:28:13] Well, he also has had ... I just saw this.

[00:28:16] Weird that I know this.

[00:28:17] I know, but ...

[00:28:17] He's been drinking a lot of milk.

[00:28:18] No, he had a bunch of tattoos covered.

[00:28:21] Or, like, removed.

[00:28:22] Yeah, yeah.

[00:28:22] I saw it on his arms.

[00:28:23] Oh, maybe that's why he looked generally healthier then.

[00:28:24] Yeah.

[00:28:25] On his ... You can see him.

[00:28:26] In the sketch, I noticeably saw they're faint.

[00:28:29] They're there, but they're really faint.

[00:28:30] Yeah, he's getting them removed.

[00:28:31] You didn't really notice that?

[00:28:32] No, I really didn't, but I wasn't really paying attention to that, but even his face, he just

[00:28:36] didn't look ... His eyes didn't look as sullen.

[00:28:38] He just generally looked healthier.

[00:28:40] It's drugs.

[00:28:42] No, and I do think ...

[00:28:43] He's doing them or he gave them up?

[00:28:44] No, that's what happens when you stop doing drugs.

[00:28:46] No, and I think he's had some struggles, and I think he is clean right now, right?

[00:28:50] And that helps.

[00:28:51] So we should do drugs, or ...

[00:28:53] Yeah, to get skinny.

[00:28:54] According to John Mulaney, yes.

[00:28:56] Yeah, it works.

[00:28:56] I love drugs.

[00:28:57] There's a couple of things you need to know about the side effects, and you know what?

[00:29:01] We'll talk about those later, but yeah, for now, do drugs.

[00:29:03] Can I keep doing them?

[00:29:04] Yep.

[00:29:04] Okay, I think that's a mess.

[00:29:05] Is there a limit?

[00:29:06] Well, for my doctor and me, personally, he says that you can't really have too much

[00:29:10] Ozempic.

[00:29:11] No, no, no.

[00:29:12] I'm ...

[00:29:13] Don't worry.

[00:29:13] Yeah, we'll talk about it later.

[00:29:14] Yeah.

[00:29:14] I'll find out.

[00:29:15] All right, moving on.

[00:29:18] Weekend update, 2024 presidential election.

[00:29:22] Weekend update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week's biggest news like a comedian

[00:29:28] at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally calling Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage.

[00:29:36] We've got two weekend update bits, but we'll get to those in a second.

[00:29:40] We do our breadometer ...

[00:29:41] 94.

[00:29:45] Why 94?

[00:29:46] Because this asshole has been doing 89s and 90s for stuff that was nowhere near as interactive

[00:29:53] as ... There was a screen cap of Che.

[00:29:58] Oh, it wasn't even a screen cap.

[00:29:58] It was a live video, picture in picture, where they directly talked to each other in the same

[00:30:04] frame.

[00:30:05] How could it not be?

[00:30:07] But that was one of the only things, though.

[00:30:09] There wasn't a ton of back and forth.

[00:30:10] There wasn't a ton of jokey jokes.

[00:30:12] There was the don't laugh at that.

[00:30:14] There was ...

[00:30:15] Whatever.

[00:30:16] There was the Dodgers thing.

[00:30:18] I don't care, because Brad is going to disappoint me yet again.

[00:30:22] I'm going to go ... I like your theory, though.

[00:30:26] He's been way higher than what you and I have been, so I'm going to go with 90.

[00:30:33] It was a 16 this week because ... Okay, yeah.

[00:30:38] Drum roll, please.

[00:30:38] How many of you were in the 90s?

[00:30:39] 92.

[00:30:40] Wow.

[00:30:41] And you were in 94 or 95?

[00:30:43] 96.

[00:30:43] 96.

[00:30:44] I was closer.

[00:30:44] Closer without going over.

[00:30:45] Nate, you are the winner at 90.

[00:30:46] Nate is the winner.

[00:30:48] He gets me and he knows my heart.

[00:30:51] What would you have said it was?

[00:30:53] I thought that ...

[00:30:54] I thought it was good, but I wouldn't say 90.

[00:30:55] I don't think that this was the highest of the season, even, but I will say the picture

[00:31:00] in picture thing does set it a little bit apart.

[00:31:02] Because that's the first time they've ever done anything like that.

[00:31:04] It's usually just a still photo, especially if it's a joke about Colin, but the fact

[00:31:08] that he did the live picture in picture was pretty damn funny.

[00:31:10] It was pretty funny.

[00:31:11] Yeah, yeah.

[00:31:11] No, and there were some good jokes.

[00:31:14] Oh, yeah.

[00:31:14] People ... I check out the SNL subreddit on Reddit and everything, and people are like,

[00:31:21] I'm just tired of Che not taking this seriously.

[00:31:24] And I'm like ...

[00:31:25] Oh, fuck off.

[00:31:26] This is what I want Michael Che to do, is to just ...

[00:31:30] Taking what seriously, too?

[00:31:31] It's the fake news.

[00:31:33] Yeah.

[00:31:34] Yeah.

[00:31:34] Well, you know, like dismissive or ... That's his bit.

[00:31:38] Yeah, it's his vibe.

[00:31:39] That's what he does.

[00:31:40] It's kind of the whole ...

[00:31:41] Are you not watching the show?

[00:31:43] That's so disappointing to me, because all that says to me is, oh, I don't understand

[00:31:48] comedy.

[00:31:48] I just don't get it.

[00:31:50] Yeah.

[00:31:50] Ridiculous.

[00:31:50] I shouldn't watch the show.

[00:31:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:31:52] I agree.

[00:31:54] Why do Abbott and Costello have to be different sizes?

[00:31:58] Can't they both be skinny?

[00:32:00] I don't know.

[00:32:01] So, that Norm Macdonald guy, I don't think he's taking it very seriously.

[00:32:04] Mm-hmm.

[00:32:05] Weekend Update bits, there were two of them.

[00:32:07] The Three Stooges are too Jewish.

[00:32:12] I tried, guys.

[00:32:14] I tried to move on.

[00:32:14] Oh, my God.

[00:32:15] I knew where this was going.

[00:32:16] The Three Stooges are too Jewish.

[00:32:20] All right.

[00:32:21] Weekend Update bits.

[00:32:22] I don't think that's the same subreddit that Nate was on.

[00:32:27] I'm so trying to move on to this.

[00:32:28] I'm so trying to save us all.

[00:32:31] All right.

[00:32:31] Weekend Update bit.

[00:32:32] Reba McIntyre on the 2024 election, written by Carol Sullivan and Heidi Gardner.

[00:32:37] Country music star and the voice judge Reba McIntyre, played by Heidi Gardner, stops by

[00:32:42] Weekend Update to discuss the 2024 election.

[00:32:49] I just thought it was just something she did in this.

[00:32:51] And it was a treat both times.

[00:32:53] I didn't love this.

[00:32:54] What?

[00:32:55] What?

[00:32:55] So the movement, her in the chair, her moving around, as soon as that started, I couldn't

[00:33:02] stop watching.

[00:33:02] It was fine.

[00:33:03] And then she starts gyrating and making these little moves.

[00:33:07] It really got me.

[00:33:08] And maybe because I don't know what a good impression of Reba McIntyre is.

[00:33:11] It's this.

[00:33:12] Is it?

[00:33:13] Okay.

[00:33:13] It's this.

[00:33:14] Also, don't watch it on your phone on YouTube.

[00:33:16] Watch it on the TV.

[00:33:17] I did watch it.

[00:33:18] Me either.

[00:33:18] Okay.

[00:33:18] Just making sure.

[00:33:19] I watched it live.

[00:33:20] Okay.

[00:33:20] Good for you.

[00:33:21] Do you watch it live?

[00:33:22] No.

[00:33:22] I watched it the next day on Peacock.

[00:33:23] Average American.

[00:33:25] I watched it delayed later that night.

[00:33:28] How late do you say that?

[00:33:29] Wow.

[00:33:29] This is so boring.

[00:33:32] Hey, what did you guys think about the commercials in between?

[00:33:35] I thought this was fine.

[00:33:36] I didn't think it was bad at all.

[00:33:37] I thought this was so funny.

[00:33:39] This was not for me.

[00:33:40] The way that she said, stinky, flapping, naturals.

[00:33:48] I had to put Rune in the other room at that point.

[00:33:50] I did.

[00:33:50] Buddy, not for you.

[00:33:51] This one's not for you, buddy.

[00:33:52] That was one that I immediately thought.

[00:33:54] Mama, what's stinky, flapping, naturals?

[00:33:57] Ben, stop letting it watch SNL with you.

[00:34:00] That was a line, though, that I immediately thought, Brad's going to love that.

[00:34:03] I laughed so hard when she said it both times.

[00:34:06] That's so funny.

[00:34:07] It's so funny.

[00:34:08] But yeah, I just didn't love it.

[00:34:10] But I recognized that a lot of people did.

[00:34:13] It just wasn't my vibe.

[00:34:14] It kind of came out of nowhere.

[00:34:16] I'm not sure that it's not like Reba McIntyre has been on the political campaign.

[00:34:21] Is she having a moment right now?

[00:34:23] So she has a new show.

[00:34:25] She's still on The Voice.

[00:34:27] She's still very popular.

[00:34:28] No, I think that she has been asked more recently because people are curious what her view on some of this stuff is.

[00:34:36] And she's not one to be very forthcoming about it.

[00:34:40] Not in a way that is elusive, necessarily.

[00:34:44] It's just exactly how she is.

[00:34:47] She's Reba.

[00:34:48] She's Reba.

[00:34:50] No, this was so funny.

[00:34:51] There's something about using the phrase...

[00:34:54] Stinky, flappin' naturals?

[00:34:55] Just naturals by itself is really funny, too.

[00:34:57] Because one of the funniest things that I ever loved on At Midnight, I don't even remember what the category was.

[00:35:03] I think it was animal porn or something like that.

[00:35:06] And Brett Gelman, the fake porn title he gave was squirrels with big fat naturals.

[00:35:12] And I absolutely lost my mind.

[00:35:15] That's just a very specific to Brad joke.

[00:35:16] It is.

[00:35:16] What can I say?

[00:35:17] I love a good natural boob joke.

[00:35:18] Yeah, clearly.

[00:35:20] All right.

[00:35:20] Moving forward.

[00:35:21] A weekend update bit.

[00:35:22] The couple you can't believe are together.

[00:35:25] Written by Martin Herlihy, Ben Marshall, John Higgins, Marcel Hernandez, Asher Ward, Jane Wickline.

[00:35:30] That's a lot of writers for a weekend update bit.

[00:35:32] The couple you can't believe are together.

[00:35:34] Played by Marcel Hernandez and Jane Wickline.

[00:35:36] Stops by weekend update to talk about how they met in their unique relationship.

[00:35:40] I actually loved this one.

[00:35:42] Yeah, sounds like someone owns Jane Wickline an apology, you assholes.

[00:35:46] Oh!

[00:35:47] Whoa!

[00:35:47] No, both of you.

[00:35:48] Whoa!

[00:35:49] Both of you.

[00:35:49] I mean, here's the thing is, she was fine.

[00:35:52] Oh, fuck you.

[00:35:53] She was hilarious in this bit.

[00:35:56] This is what I'm telling you.

[00:35:57] This is what she's really good at.

[00:35:59] This is her strength.

[00:36:01] No, good.

[00:36:01] Good.

[00:36:01] She finally had a good bit.

[00:36:03] Oh, you asshole.

[00:36:04] She had a good thing.

[00:36:04] Right?

[00:36:04] But no, it's fine.

[00:36:06] All we wanted was for her to actually be funny, and she was.

[00:36:09] By the way, this is a very rare thing for a featured player to be at the weekend update

[00:36:13] desk twice in their first five episodes.

[00:36:16] I think the last one was like.

[00:36:18] It was Leslie Jones and Pete Davidson.

[00:36:20] Yeah.

[00:36:20] It was a long time ago.

[00:36:21] So this bit was funny out the gate.

[00:36:24] Then, the fucking poem.

[00:36:27] I lost my fucking marbles.

[00:36:31] Like, him slamming on the desk and having her back and being the dumbest guy on the planet.

[00:36:38] Yeah.

[00:36:39] Oh, my God.

[00:36:41] It just was so funny.

[00:36:43] It was so funny.

[00:36:44] Oh, speaking of the slamming on the desk, too.

[00:36:45] That was another funny thing.

[00:36:47] And I think it was improvised with the Reba thing when she slammed her phone up.

[00:36:51] That's broken now.

[00:36:52] Yeah.

[00:36:54] These are both very good weekend update.

[00:36:56] Yeah.

[00:36:56] This was fantastic.

[00:36:57] Also very creative.

[00:36:58] And they both came out of nowhere, too.

[00:37:00] Exactly.

[00:37:01] Yeah.

[00:37:01] But yeah, I would have never thought teaming up Marcello Hernandez and Jane Wickline in

[00:37:06] this way.

[00:37:06] Like, and it was hilarious.

[00:37:08] He was fucking totally bonkers over the top in the best way.

[00:37:11] She played the straight woman perfectly.

[00:37:15] Didn't, like, even hesitate to miss them.

[00:37:20] Like, she hit her lines perfectly.

[00:37:21] Yeah.

[00:37:21] It's so hard to come off somebody's high energy like that and be deadpan, but not let him step

[00:37:26] on your line.

[00:37:27] Yeah.

[00:37:27] And be, so her timing was perfect.

[00:37:29] So good.

[00:37:30] Yeah.

[00:37:30] Yeah.

[00:37:31] It does remind you that there are other new cast members this season that we still don't

[00:37:35] really know.

[00:37:35] Yeah.

[00:37:36] Right?

[00:37:36] She has, she's creating.

[00:37:38] We're still waiting for Ashley Padilla to really make a splash.

[00:37:40] She's been in several sketches with quick bit parts, but she hasn't done anything super

[00:37:44] prominent yet.

[00:37:46] Emile Wackham, I think, has shined a little bit more because he had his time at the weekend

[00:37:49] of a desk.

[00:37:50] And it did well.

[00:37:50] Yeah.

[00:37:51] But yeah, Ashley Padilla has not yet.

[00:37:53] So hopefully.

[00:37:53] But Jane Wickline pulled to the front.

[00:37:56] Yeah.

[00:37:56] Yeah.

[00:37:56] Nate.

[00:37:57] She did well.

[00:37:57] She did well.

[00:37:58] Yeah.

[00:37:58] She did.

[00:37:59] As Brad and I said.

[00:38:00] Hmm.

[00:38:01] Mm-hmm.

[00:38:01] All right.

[00:38:02] Moving on.

[00:38:03] Little Richard, written by John Mulaney.

[00:38:05] Oh, man.

[00:38:05] Jake Norwood, Brian Tucker, and Mike Smith.

[00:38:06] That's okay.

[00:38:07] Well, I'm sorry to interrupt you.

[00:38:08] Every single time you're even introducing sketches, I'm already starting to laugh again.

[00:38:13] Yeah.

[00:38:13] So I know this episode was very good because it's rare that we just start remembering the

[00:38:17] sketches and immediately start laughing.

[00:38:18] Well, so also I want to point out one of the things that really helped, I think, make

[00:38:21] this episode shine even more than your average episode, there were only six sketches in this

[00:38:28] episode.

[00:38:28] Because you had two that were over eight minutes, including the cold open, and you had Mulaney's

[00:38:32] monologue, which was about seven minutes.

[00:38:34] That's a big chunk of SNL real estate.

[00:38:36] And then otherwise-

[00:38:38] And then the musical Port Authority was pretty long, too.

[00:38:41] That's the one I was talking about.

[00:38:42] That was one of the eight-minute sketches.

[00:38:43] Oh.

[00:38:43] Okay.

[00:38:43] Yeah.

[00:38:44] But it's ... So yeah.

[00:38:45] So yeah.

[00:38:45] This is, by all accounts, a pretty low count of sketches.

[00:38:48] You got 22 minutes out of a total of probably 44 minutes of actual time because then you

[00:38:53] get the musical guest.

[00:38:54] Exactly.

[00:38:54] And Weekend Update.

[00:38:56] Jesus.

[00:38:56] Yeah.

[00:38:57] So two weekend-of-day bits.

[00:38:58] Yeah.

[00:38:58] Right?

[00:38:59] So a small amount of sketches, but they all landed very well.

[00:39:02] Even if I were to ... And I did pick a worst sketch in my review on Slashfilm.

[00:39:06] How dare you?

[00:39:07] But the worst sketch was not bad at all.

[00:39:09] There were no bad sketches in this episode.

[00:39:11] It's the worst sketch, though.

[00:39:12] Yeah.

[00:39:12] But they were all very good.

[00:39:16] How could a good sketch be the worst sketch?

[00:39:18] Well, just by ... I don't know how properties work, I guess.

[00:39:21] Like adjectives.

[00:39:22] Why didn't you say there was no?

[00:39:24] Yeah.

[00:39:24] There was no.

[00:39:24] You could have just been an actual thing for yourself.

[00:39:26] Because one of them does have to be the worst.

[00:39:28] No, it doesn't.

[00:39:33] They're not, though.

[00:39:34] But they could be.

[00:39:35] But we've discussed it, that they're not already.

[00:39:37] Like, it's clear.

[00:39:39] I don't ... Like ... I'll teach you about additives sometime, you know, if you want to talk about

[00:39:42] it.

[00:39:44] All right.

[00:39:45] But no, but like ...

[00:39:45] All right.

[00:39:46] Hey, Nate.

[00:39:46] Let me read about what literature is ...

[00:39:48] Go ahead and ...

[00:39:49] No, no, no.

[00:39:50] No, Brett.

[00:39:51] Go ahead and read it.

[00:39:52] Read it.

[00:39:52] Please.

[00:39:52] Do your job.

[00:40:02] It's impressive in itself.

[00:40:03] And so, like ... That's ... For me, like, I think that's why this may end up being

[00:40:07] Mulaney's best overall episode.

[00:40:09] Because I remember some of his previous ones.

[00:40:11] There is ...

[00:40:11] It can't be the best overall because you said there's a worst sketch in the show.

[00:40:14] You don't understand.

[00:40:15] There are ... There were some stinkers when Mulaney has hosted before.

[00:40:19] But like, this entire episode was strong.

[00:40:22] Oh, it's very good.

[00:40:23] But there is a stinker.

[00:40:25] Yeah, there is a stinker.

[00:40:25] There's not a stinker.

[00:40:26] Well, I don't know that you could say worst, but not a stinker.

[00:40:31] Yeah, it's the worst episode, but it's still not a stinker.

[00:40:34] Yeah, I just don't like it.

[00:40:35] We get it, Nate.

[00:40:35] We get it.

[00:40:35] And the audience gets it.

[00:40:36] And that's the really worst.

[00:40:37] All right, moving on.

[00:40:37] Let me read this about Little Richard.

[00:40:39] The creator of the sitcom Family Bonds, portrayed by John Mulaney, discusses the show in an interview

[00:40:45] with PBS.

[00:40:46] Little Richard, played by Kenan Thompson, makes a guest appearance in the sitcom Family Bonds.

[00:40:51] This was so much fun.

[00:40:53] It was great.

[00:40:53] The 90s, you know ...

[00:40:55] I just ...

[00:40:55] Did you realize this was a recurring sketch?

[00:40:58] With Family Bond?

[00:40:59] No.

[00:40:59] Or the PBS looking at the ...

[00:41:02] Not even specifically that.

[00:41:04] Just with John Mulaney as Jay Paul Todd, a sitcom creator.

[00:41:08] Because last time he appeared on another program where Cecily Strong was the host, and they talked

[00:41:12] about the sitcom Switcheroo.

[00:41:14] Oh, that's right.

[00:41:15] Yeah, yeah.

[00:41:16] And so this is the same character that they did for a new sitcom.

[00:41:19] So the thing that makes this sketch great instead of good is the hyper-focus on the fact that Little Richard overstayed his welcome.

[00:41:29] Yeah.

[00:41:29] Is such a fucking funny choice.

[00:41:32] Well, that and also the way Mulaney's character reflects on stuff.

[00:41:36] Oh, absolutely.

[00:41:37] That's right there with it.

[00:41:38] Like, oh, you're not going to show the whole show?

[00:41:41] Yeah, it's just a clip.

[00:41:42] Well, your choice.

[00:41:44] He's so cocky, right?

[00:41:45] Yeah.

[00:41:45] But Kenan's Little Richard and just ... The escalation, right?

[00:41:51] Yeah.

[00:41:51] He's the one that kills the dog, and yeah, we chose to show the whole thing.

[00:41:55] That's so fucking funny.

[00:41:56] So one of my favorite things about Kenan's Little Richard is that it's basically Tracy

[00:42:00] Morgan's Brian Fellow.

[00:42:02] It is, yes.

[00:42:02] It is.

[00:42:03] Like, there's almost no difference whatsoever.

[00:42:05] There's no self-awareness of Little Richard at all.

[00:42:08] He just is in his own world, and he's so petty, and like, this bus station skank or whatever

[00:42:13] you call it, like, I'm prettier.

[00:42:16] Yes, audience, I'm talking directly to you.

[00:42:19] It was so funny.

[00:42:20] It's good.

[00:42:20] This is so good.

[00:42:21] I loved this sketch so much.

[00:42:23] Loved it.

[00:42:23] Yeah, I loved it.

[00:42:24] And like I said, I love the kind of throwback to TGIF.

[00:42:28] Oh, yeah.

[00:42:28] Oh, yeah.

[00:42:29] Step by step.

[00:42:29] Yeah.

[00:42:30] Well, the font was actually Full House.

[00:42:32] Yeah, but TGIF had step by step.

[00:42:34] So did Full House is also on TGIF.

[00:42:36] Yes.

[00:42:37] Before step by step came along.

[00:42:38] Calm down.

[00:42:39] I'm sorry.

[00:42:39] You don't know enough about ABC sitcom television like I do, but, you know.

[00:42:43] That's not the brag that you think it is.

[00:42:45] Sorry, what?

[00:42:45] Did you watch Full House?

[00:42:46] I watched Full House.

[00:42:48] I watched Family Matters.

[00:42:49] I watched Step by Step.

[00:42:50] I watched Hanging with Mr. Cooper.

[00:42:51] I watched Boy Meets World.

[00:42:52] I watched all those fucking shows.

[00:42:53] Not the brags you think they are.

[00:42:55] Not only is this a brag, but I have huge nuts.

[00:43:00] All right.

[00:43:01] Final one.

[00:43:01] New York City Council campaign written by Will Steven and Brian Tucker.

[00:43:05] A commercial advertises.

[00:43:07] Harvey Epstein's campaign for his city council election run.

[00:43:11] Harvey Epstein played by John Mulaney.

[00:43:13] Now, you guys know, I'm sure, that this is a real candidate in New York City.

[00:43:17] I did not know.

[00:43:18] Until John Mulaney said it in the sketch, I didn't know.

[00:43:21] I didn't believe it even when he said it.

[00:43:23] No, he said it.

[00:43:23] I thought it was part of the bit of, like, the character saying, yes, I'm a real person.

[00:43:28] But, yeah.

[00:43:29] I took that to mean, oh, this is a real person.

[00:43:30] No, but I found out later Harvey Epstein is a real New York City council candidate.

[00:43:35] That is so unfortunate.

[00:43:35] Which is hilarious.

[00:43:36] But what I liked about it is that even though I initially I thought this was going to be a very niche New York thing of, like, they are seeing some kind of specific political ad that we're not seeing.

[00:43:45] But it still played broadly because of the way that they approached it.

[00:43:49] I'm happy to hear that not only was it an actual real very specific thing, but it still landed in exactly the way that I thought it would.

[00:43:57] Because it's absolutely hilarious the way it plays.

[00:43:59] And also, John Mulaney looks surprisingly great in a bald cap.

[00:44:03] Yep.

[00:44:05] What did you think of this?

[00:44:07] The chin helps for sure.

[00:44:08] What did you think about this?

[00:44:09] I loved this one.

[00:44:10] Again, it is one that you kind of.

[00:44:13] Well, you're a big Weinstein Epstein fan anyway, right?

[00:44:15] Oh, boy.

[00:44:16] I mean, no, I wouldn't say huge anymore.

[00:44:19] Anymore?

[00:44:21] I did love this.

[00:44:22] It was.

[00:44:24] It had the ability to be paint by numbers.

[00:44:26] And it kind of was a little bit.

[00:44:28] You knew where it was going, right?

[00:44:29] You could kind of tell these two names together.

[00:44:31] Okay, we're going to make this awkward, right?

[00:44:35] But it still landed in every way, which is just a great writing, great performing, and the magic of this episode, right?

[00:44:42] Yeah.

[00:44:42] It was not.

[00:44:43] This was not Beppo, right?

[00:44:45] This was not like in a recreative, innovative kind of sketch way.

[00:44:50] This was something that was.

[00:44:52] There's also something to be said for, to make it look like a real political ad, you have to have extras that are probably real people.

[00:45:02] Yeah.

[00:45:03] Because that's what political ads do.

[00:45:06] They stop by the garbage trucks, and they just shake hands with them.

[00:45:09] So it looked like either they cast perfect people, or they actually just went to places and said, can we get you guys for five minutes?

[00:45:14] It was so good.

[00:45:15] I think it just comes down to how good SNL's extras casting is, or even the casting for people who aren't cast members.

[00:45:21] It was wonderful.

[00:45:22] They talked a little bit about this on an episode of Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast when they talked about the grandkids in movies sketch.

[00:45:29] Yep.

[00:45:30] Because they talked about the old man that they got, and how good he was, and how he wasn't like your usual actor that you would expect them to put a cast member, an old person, make it work like that.

[00:45:39] But having a real old man in that role lent a certain amount of authenticity to it.

[00:45:45] Yeah, a lot more credibility.

[00:45:46] And they even specifically cited, they're like, it was kind of an I think you should leave thing, where they found a weird person to kind of cast in that role to make it feel a little bit more awkward and realistic.

[00:45:56] That's really interesting, because I've always wondered, are some of those parts given to just staff, right?

[00:46:04] This person's in makeup.

[00:46:05] This person's in costume.

[00:46:06] I think that maybe years ago, sure.

[00:46:09] But nowadays, because SNL is this big machine, and they have all this money, and they can do all this.

[00:46:15] They have unions, too.

[00:46:15] I'm sure they have.

[00:46:16] Oh, yeah.

[00:46:17] But man, kudos to the extra casting for this particular sketch, because I felt like I was watching a real political ad for sure.

[00:46:25] It was awesome.

[00:46:26] And also, I want to say, too, the great thing about this sketch is that even if you don't know that Harvey Epstein is a real person, the sketch is still really funny.

[00:46:34] Absolutely.

[00:46:35] Yeah.

[00:46:35] Yeah.

[00:46:35] Yeah.

[00:46:36] A fake guy with an unfortunate name.

[00:46:39] Yeah, exactly.

[00:46:39] That's a great bit.

[00:46:41] Yeah.

[00:46:41] And it just adds a slight layer to it that it's a real person.

[00:46:44] Yeah, exactly.

[00:46:45] All right.

[00:46:46] Well, that's the episode.

[00:46:47] There were no cover time sketches that I could find.

[00:46:51] We need to talk a little bit about what our sketch of the night was.

[00:46:54] Hey, first, real quick, Brad.

[00:46:56] There was one sketch you hated.

[00:46:57] What was that sketch?

[00:46:58] I didn't hate any sketch.

[00:47:00] I'm going to guess it was the Harvey Epstein was your least favorite.

[00:47:03] No, actually, it wasn't.

[00:47:04] Really?

[00:47:04] Yeah.

[00:47:05] What was it?

[00:47:06] I picked election, the edition of what's my name or what's that name?

[00:47:10] Oh, yeah.

[00:47:10] You're wrong.

[00:47:11] But again, I've made it very clear in the review that it was not terrible or anywhere near awful.

[00:47:17] Early on in our episode, Nate, if you remember, we did ask him, like, why'd you hate the sketch?

[00:47:21] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:21] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:21] So now we found out.

[00:47:22] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:22] He hates it.

[00:47:23] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:23] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:23] You liar.

[00:47:24] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:25] Said he didn't hate it.

[00:47:26] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:26] Just called it the worst.

[00:47:27] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:29] All right.

[00:47:29] What was your favorite sketch of the night?

[00:47:32] And why was it Beppo?

[00:47:33] Yeah, it was Beppo 100%.

[00:47:34] It was Beppo.

[00:47:34] All the way.

[00:47:36] You just, I'm not just, help, help, help, help.

[00:47:38] Come on.

[00:47:38] I think that if Port Authority had a stronger opening, it would have stood a chance, but Beppo

[00:47:42] was just-

[00:47:43] Just so off the wall.

[00:47:44] Top to bottom.

[00:47:45] Yeah.

[00:47:45] Perfect.

[00:47:45] Beppo, I want to give the, because it was so creative.

[00:47:49] It was-

[00:47:49] It was so great.

[00:47:50] Incredible.

[00:47:51] Again, I'm going to go back to this.

[00:47:52] Incredible puppetry.

[00:47:53] I mean, just that made-

[00:47:55] Just the choice to make the eyes so black and glossy.

[00:47:59] Yeah.

[00:48:00] But it was still so real.

[00:48:02] It was so unnervingly real.

[00:48:04] And the blinking was so cute, too.

[00:48:05] Oh, my God.

[00:48:05] You heard the audience literally go, aw.

[00:48:07] Yeah.

[00:48:08] That's-

[00:48:09] You're playing with people's real emotions there.

[00:48:11] It was crazy.

[00:48:12] They were very nervous for Beppo.

[00:48:13] When it blew up, I shut off.

[00:48:15] I really felt weird.

[00:48:17] Project X, man.

[00:48:19] Isn't that your wife?

[00:48:20] Not anymore.

[00:48:20] Not anymore.

[00:48:21] Not anymore.

[00:48:22] All right.

[00:48:23] Let's go to MVP of the night.

[00:48:26] Who was your favorite cast member or maybe even a member of the crew or host?

[00:48:32] Ben, let's go with you.

[00:48:33] A member of the crew?

[00:48:35] Maybe even.

[00:48:36] You know what?

[00:48:36] Wall of the cue card guy just really nailed it this time.

[00:48:40] You know what?

[00:48:40] I actually hadn't thought about this.

[00:48:41] So let me go with-

[00:48:46] Man, everybody was going to spread pretty evenly here.

[00:48:50] Do you think it was Mulaney's best episode?

[00:48:53] I mean, I can't remember an episode with as high of-

[00:48:59] Like Brad was saying, as high as a percentage of wins.

[00:49:01] But in order to give it to the host, they have to exceed.

[00:49:04] And I don't know that you could give it to Mulaney for that reason.

[00:49:07] Yeah, because he gave you pretty much exactly what you would expect.

[00:49:09] Well, and I'm expecting him at a high level.

[00:49:12] We got him at a high level, right?

[00:49:13] But that being said, everything was just so spread apart.

[00:49:16] Like, DeSmeets was in a few.

[00:49:17] Hattie Gardner's a few.

[00:49:19] Eggel was in a few.

[00:49:19] Keenan's in a couple.

[00:49:21] Like, Bowen's in a couple.

[00:49:22] Man, I don't know, man.

[00:49:24] I don't know.

[00:49:25] What about you, Rip?

[00:49:26] Yeah, no, I agree with Ben.

[00:49:27] I hadn't thought about it.

[00:49:29] And even thinking about it now, I think it's a really tough decision to pick.

[00:49:34] I mean, if anything, maybe it's one of those things where you kind of give it as an honorary

[00:49:37] thing to Maya Rudolph because of the Kamala Harris then, just because that kind of comes

[00:49:42] full circle and that's a big deal for her.

[00:49:44] But yeah, I don't know.

[00:49:47] I mean, it was spread very evenly across the cast this time that there wasn't really a

[00:49:52] standout where like, oh, this person had an amazing episode.

[00:49:55] Especially because like in Beppo, it's really Mulaney and Beppo.

[00:49:58] Yeah.

[00:49:59] Right?

[00:49:59] So there's supporting cast there, but nobody's really making you laugh.

[00:50:02] They're all just supporting characters.

[00:50:03] And like Longfellow's great in election edition of what's that name.

[00:50:07] But then the Harvey Epstein is just Mulaney.

[00:50:10] Yeah.

[00:50:10] Right?

[00:50:11] So now you're cutting it down to Weekend Update stuff, really.

[00:50:14] Yeah.

[00:50:14] And what's that name?

[00:50:16] And then what was the other sketch that I'm missing here?

[00:50:20] The one.

[00:50:21] The one.

[00:50:22] What came before Harvey Epstein?

[00:50:25] You were there.

[00:50:26] The one was Little Richard.

[00:50:27] Little Richard, yeah.

[00:50:28] Okay.

[00:50:28] Yeah.

[00:50:29] So Kenan crushes as Little Richard.

[00:50:31] But again, he's in that one alone.

[00:50:33] Other than the possum.

[00:50:34] That was all Kenan did.

[00:50:35] All right.

[00:50:36] So I think that if I had to pick a cast member, I think I'm going Marcelo Hernandez because

[00:50:41] the locked up shampoo was pretty funky funny.

[00:50:47] And then also that we ended up that he didn't reach out there.

[00:50:49] Since Nate gave us this out this one time, I'm going to give it to Mike Diva, the director

[00:50:53] of that book.

[00:50:54] Because he very specifically said crew member and he's never done that before.

[00:50:57] And I think that's why he did.

[00:50:58] All right.

[00:50:59] Fair enough.

[00:51:00] I am going to give it to the team that was a part of the last couple episodes, Jim Gavigan,

[00:51:09] Dana Carvey.

[00:51:10] Oh, I see what you did there.

[00:51:13] Because they brought a lot of enjoyment over this last month.

[00:51:17] They did.

[00:51:18] They did their jobs.

[00:51:19] There was a lot of conversation.

[00:51:19] And they did something that has been very difficult in recent years and they made the political

[00:51:24] satire fun again, even if it wasn't always great.

[00:51:26] And so I'm going to change my vote and agree with Nate.

[00:51:29] Samberg.

[00:51:29] Group effort.

[00:51:30] Great job.

[00:51:30] I'm going to stick with my pick, but I'm going to agree with Nate.

[00:51:32] I'm just going to change because I'm a flip flopper.

[00:51:35] No, that's true.

[00:51:36] Especially because there isn't a lot of, like you said, there wasn't really a clear winner

[00:51:39] here.

[00:51:40] So we're probably not going to see.

[00:51:42] You know who really won was the audience.

[00:51:44] You're not wrong.

[00:51:45] And now that I'm saying this, I didn't say it in the cold open.

[00:51:49] Dana Carvey's Joe Biden is just fantastic.

[00:51:51] Oh, yeah.

[00:51:51] It is great.

[00:51:52] Still great.

[00:51:53] Still great.

[00:51:54] All right.

[00:51:54] That's all we have for you tonight.

[00:51:57] What other episodes do we have coming up?

[00:51:59] Have they announced?

[00:52:00] Bill Burr will be hosting next weekend on November 9th.

[00:52:03] That's very exciting.

[00:52:04] A lot of stand up this year so far.

[00:52:06] I love it.

[00:52:07] Not hating it.

[00:52:08] Not upset.

[00:52:08] Not upset.

[00:52:09] Love it.

[00:52:10] And then a surprising choice only because I am not intimately familiar with their work

[00:52:16] in music.

[00:52:16] Although I'm familiar with their place in pop culture and how popular they are now.

[00:52:20] Charlie XCX is going to be pulling double duty as host and musical guest on November 15th.

[00:52:27] Another stand up.

[00:52:28] Or 16th rather.

[00:52:30] No.

[00:52:31] Another stand up.

[00:52:32] But yeah.

[00:52:33] Charlie XCX is very big on the music scene right now.

[00:52:37] And I don't know what her personality is like.

[00:52:40] If she's like a good person who can maybe pull off comedy and performs in that way as well.

[00:52:45] So that'll be an interesting development.

[00:52:46] Evidently they think that she can.

[00:52:49] Good for them.

[00:52:50] We'll see.

[00:52:51] So check us out online.

[00:52:52] Follow us in.

[00:52:53] See Bill Burr redoing or kind of bringing back any of the characters that he had in this first

[00:52:59] episode.

[00:52:59] I think he'll do something Boston related.

[00:53:00] I mean honestly if anything I would just love to see another.

[00:53:06] He's done the Sam Adams commercial.

[00:53:08] He did a Duncan commercial.

[00:53:09] I want to see a pre-taped commercial in Boston because those two pre-tapes are some of the

[00:53:13] funnier ones that have come out of SNL honestly.

[00:53:16] That Duncan Donuts one is awesome.

[00:53:18] And that Sam Adams one is hilarious.

[00:53:20] I don't think the Duncan Donuts one is quite as good.

[00:53:22] Oh no no rewatch it.

[00:53:23] No no hold on.

[00:53:24] Let me finish.

[00:53:24] It's so good.

[00:53:25] I don't think it's quite as good as Casey Affleck's Duncan Donuts commercial.

[00:53:28] Oh sorry.

[00:53:29] That's the one I'm thinking of.

[00:53:31] Didn't Bill Burr do a Duncan commercial though?

[00:53:33] No he did not.

[00:53:33] Bill Burr did the Sam Adams one.

[00:53:34] He did the Sam Adams.

[00:53:35] Casey Affleck did the Duncan Donuts one.

[00:53:36] The Jack O' Pumpkin Ale.

[00:53:38] Yeah.

[00:53:39] Sam Adams.

[00:53:39] I thought it was one there was another Duncan ad.

[00:53:41] No it's not though.

[00:53:42] It's because Mikey Day is the idiot brother or whatever in both of them.

[00:53:47] Yep.

[00:53:47] Oh maybe that's why.

[00:53:48] It's a series.

[00:53:49] Yeah.

[00:53:49] Okay.

[00:53:50] The SNL does called Real Bostonians.

[00:53:52] So I would love to see another Real Bostonians.

[00:53:53] Gotcha.

[00:53:54] Okay.

[00:53:54] Yeah.

[00:53:54] That's my bad on the Duncan Donuts one.

[00:53:56] Fair enough.

[00:53:56] Because that's hilarious.

[00:53:57] Yeah.

[00:53:57] The Casey Affleck's Duncan Donuts commercial is hilarious.

[00:54:00] But the pumpkin jack.

[00:54:01] I don't know.

[00:54:01] It's like something like you know left over in your fridge and like they come over and

[00:54:05] they're like hey it'll be a yeah it's pumpkin shit somebody left over.

[00:54:09] Yeah.

[00:54:10] And I think that he's kind of the perfect person to have after the election to whatever

[00:54:13] happens.

[00:54:14] His monologue is going to be great.

[00:54:15] Yeah.

[00:54:15] Yeah.

[00:54:16] Should be fun.

[00:54:17] All right.

[00:54:17] It's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:54:18] I'm looking forward to it.

[00:54:19] Hopefully we're still alive.

[00:54:21] Yeah.

[00:54:22] Actually I did.

[00:54:22] Hopefully there's not like a coup.

[00:54:24] Yeah.

[00:54:24] Or two.

[00:54:26] Coup.

[00:54:27] Charlie XCX has been on this show twice by the way.

[00:54:30] Do you guys know that?

[00:54:31] Yes.

[00:54:31] I didn't know that.

[00:54:32] I didn't know that.

[00:54:33] Come on.

[00:54:33] Fuck you.

[00:54:34] Yes.

[00:54:35] Did you know that or no?

[00:54:36] No.

[00:54:37] I didn't know.

[00:54:37] No.

[00:54:38] Not really a fan of the show.

[00:54:40] You don't really know things.

[00:54:43] You're not a fan of the show?

[00:54:44] Yeah.

[00:54:44] Oh my God.

[00:54:44] I bet you if Chris Farley was still around they would do like Farley XCX.

[00:54:48] Wouldn't that be fun?

[00:54:49] Are we going to end the show on that note?

[00:54:50] Well what else do you want to do?

[00:54:52] I mean just.

[00:54:53] I don't want to end it.

[00:54:53] You want to cut that?

[00:54:54] I like just talking to you guys.

[00:55:00] Who did the Charlie XCX impression by the way?

[00:55:02] Bo and Yang.

[00:55:03] Of course.

[00:55:04] Did you know that Ben?

[00:55:05] Well yeah.

[00:55:05] That was just like two weeks ago.

[00:55:07] Two episodes ago.

[00:55:08] And it was a terrible sketch.

[00:55:10] It was.

[00:55:10] Yeah.

[00:55:10] It was not a good sketch.

[00:55:11] I hope they bring that back.

[00:55:12] All right.

[00:55:13] That is all we have.

[00:55:14] I hope you do rate this podcast.

[00:55:18] Review it.

[00:55:22] Glad to have you.

[00:55:24] Yeah.

[00:55:25] We'll be back in a couple weeks.

[00:55:26] Actually we'll be back in one week.

[00:55:28] I thought it was two weeks.

[00:55:29] Nope.

[00:55:29] Next week.

[00:55:30] Next week.

[00:55:30] We just said it was right after the election.

[00:55:32] Yeah.

[00:55:32] We had a whole conversation about it.

[00:55:33] I wasn't listening.

[00:55:34] All right.

[00:55:35] Until then give your friends the Kamala Pamela and just hold their hand and say it's all going

[00:55:39] to be all right.

[00:55:41] It's going to be fine.

[00:55:42] It's going to be just fine.

[00:55:43] All right.

[00:55:44] Be good to yourself.

[00:55:44] Be good to others.

[00:55:45] Hopefully we'll be here next week.

[00:55:46] Bye bye.
