Episode 80 - Paul Mescal (Season 50)

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

[00:00:21] Welcome back friends, it's been a long time. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. Shaboozy. I love Shaboozy.

[00:00:28] I had no idea Shaboozy was a black man.

[00:00:33] You learned. You're so racist. I had never seen Shaboozy and it sounded like your typical country singer.

[00:00:40] What's that mean? You know what country singer are you. Yeah, Beyonce? No, very pleasant surprise.

[00:00:47] He's awesome. Yeah, he put on a great performance I thought. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. This is Saturday Night Live. This is about comedy. This is about pop culture. This is about laughs.

[00:00:56] Put in some chuckles at the Chortle Factory, you know? Yeah, the Chortle Factory it is.

[00:01:00] Yeah, the old laugh hunt. The old giggle team.

[00:01:05] Saturday Night Live, this is the eighth episode of season 50.

[00:01:09] It's about a movie hosted by Paul Meskel. Not Mescal. Learned something in this episode.

[00:01:14] Pronounce his name.

[00:01:15] You did not.

[00:01:15] It's not a smoky drink.

[00:01:17] This was a very educational episode for old grad.

[00:01:18] You learned quite a few things.

[00:01:20] I did, I did.

[00:01:21] About people.

[00:01:21] So yeah, Paul Meskel, the Irish actor that he is, star of Gladiator 2, hosting for his first time.

[00:01:27] What was the first film that Paul Meskel got famous for?

[00:01:30] Oh gosh.

[00:01:32] I...

[00:01:32] Mr. Film Guy.

[00:01:33] Hosted a film podcast.

[00:01:34] I mean, I know the first movie that I noticed him in was All of Us Strangers, but I think

[00:01:41] After Sun was before that.

[00:01:43] There's probably something else further before that that he did that was recognized.

[00:01:47] According to SNL, like, bio that I read for, like, you know, preparation is a movie called

[00:01:54] Normal People.

[00:01:54] Did you see it?

[00:01:55] Oh, that's actually a TV series on Hulu.

[00:01:57] Oh, is that right?

[00:01:57] Is that any good?

[00:01:58] I've heard it is.

[00:01:59] My fiancee Brittany has watched it and she said that it's very good.

[00:02:03] Yeah, apparently that's kind of where he started to get a little bit of notoriety or

[00:02:06] a little bit of notice anyway.

[00:02:09] Yeah.

[00:02:10] Paul Meskel.

[00:02:12] Yes.

[00:02:12] Okay.

[00:02:12] First Irish host of SNL since when?

[00:02:15] Oh.

[00:02:16] Brendan Gleeson.

[00:02:18] That's probably...

[00:02:19] No?

[00:02:20] Not right?

[00:02:20] Isn't Brendan Gleeson Scottish?

[00:02:22] Sure.

[00:02:22] I'm pretty sure he's Irish actually.

[00:02:23] I'm throwing it out there.

[00:02:24] Is he?

[00:02:25] I'm gonna check this out.

[00:02:26] Hold on.

[00:02:28] Red hair.

[00:02:30] And a hand-me-down robe.

[00:02:32] You must be a Weasley.

[00:02:35] He was...

[00:02:38] Yes, you're right.

[00:02:38] It is.

[00:02:39] I thought he was Scottish.

[00:02:40] Got him!

[00:02:41] Well, you're learning something new tonight.

[00:02:42] I am learning.

[00:02:43] Who'd you think it was, Nate?

[00:02:44] I thought it was...

[00:02:45] Who did you write down?

[00:02:46] Sashir Ronan.

[00:02:47] Shaboozy.

[00:02:49] Sersha Ronan.

[00:02:50] Sersha...

[00:02:51] Sersha...

[00:02:52] Sersha...

[00:02:54] I thought it was her in 2017, but you're right.

[00:02:57] Oh.

[00:02:57] Because I assumed he was...

[00:02:59] Scottish.

[00:02:59] Scottish.

[00:03:00] Head!

[00:03:01] Move!

[00:03:03] No.

[00:03:03] You know what movie that's from, Brad?

[00:03:04] No.

[00:03:05] Head!

[00:03:06] Move!

[00:03:06] Yeah.

[00:03:07] Did you see Radiator 2, by the way?

[00:03:09] Yeah.

[00:03:09] I did.

[00:03:10] How did you like it?

[00:03:10] It's pretty good.

[00:03:11] I think I ended up liking it more than others, but it's definitely got flaws.

[00:03:16] It's not anywhere near as good as the original Gladiator.

[00:03:19] Would this be...

[00:03:20] Would Paul Mescal...

[00:03:22] Is it Mescal?

[00:03:22] Mescal.

[00:03:23] Mescal.

[00:03:23] We literally started the conversation.

[00:03:25] I know, right?

[00:03:25] I know, wasn't listening.

[00:03:26] But is he the youngest host of this year so far?

[00:03:32] Timothy Chalamet hosted this year, didn't he?

[00:03:36] Did he?

[00:03:36] I don't know.

[00:03:37] Listen guys, I'm making things up and it seems to be right a lot.

[00:03:40] So I'm just saying stuff.

[00:03:42] What was he gonna say?

[00:03:42] I'm just like throwing out that Brendan Gleeson is Irish and it's like, yep he is.

[00:03:45] All right, let me go.

[00:03:46] Timothy Chalamet actually hosted this year.

[00:03:48] Jean Smart...

[00:03:49] No, she's the youngest.

[00:03:51] Okay.

[00:03:52] Nate Bargazzi, older.

[00:03:53] Yeah.

[00:03:54] Yep.

[00:03:54] Ariana Grande.

[00:03:56] No, I think she's like in her like late 20s, early 30s.

[00:03:58] We found out she had been performing for 20 years or whatever.

[00:04:02] No, that was Charlie XCX.

[00:04:03] Oh yeah, her too.

[00:04:05] Yeah, how old is Charlie XCX?

[00:04:06] She's 35, right?

[00:04:07] Huh?

[00:04:08] Charlie XCX is 35.

[00:04:09] Something like that, I thought, right?

[00:04:10] 29?

[00:04:10] I think she was over 30.

[00:04:12] Anyway.

[00:04:12] And Paul Mescal is 28 I think maybe?

[00:04:17] Okay.

[00:04:19] So I guess...

[00:04:20] Oh, so Chalamet did not host this year.

[00:04:21] No, he did not.

[00:04:22] Yeah, well I tried.

[00:04:23] Chris Rock host next.

[00:04:24] Martin Short might be younger.

[00:04:26] He's pretty young.

[00:04:27] Martin Short is pretty young.

[00:04:28] Yeah, he's a young buck.

[00:04:29] The younger...

[00:04:30] Yeah, so I think he's the youngest host so far this year.

[00:04:32] Cool.

[00:04:32] All right, we did it.

[00:04:33] All right.

[00:04:33] Well, thanks for listening guys.

[00:04:35] You know what's not?

[00:04:36] Not very young.

[00:04:38] Church lady.

[00:04:39] Church shat.

[00:04:41] And I don't...

[00:04:42] I want to say very, very clearly.

[00:04:45] I love Dana Carvey.

[00:04:47] I think he's one of the all time greats.

[00:04:49] What the fuck is Saturday Night Live doing?

[00:04:52] Well, it is the 50th season.

[00:04:54] Sure.

[00:04:54] And so they did...

[00:04:56] Bring that on the special episode then.

[00:04:57] I mean, so, but they have said that like throughout this entire season they'll be doing special guests and stuff like that.

[00:05:03] And I'm sure they probably like having Dana Carvey around and it's not like he has a lot else going on.

[00:05:08] I mean, he's not...

[00:05:11] If it's up to him, he's gonna be...

[00:05:13] He'd join the cast again.

[00:05:14] Like he would...

[00:05:14] He loves the show.

[00:05:15] There's a part of me that wonders if maybe he's just hanging around and they don't know how to tell him to leave.

[00:05:19] We've said this before.

[00:05:20] One of those guys.

[00:05:21] It's like, it's all right.

[00:05:22] We don't worry.

[00:05:22] You need a Biden?

[00:05:23] Not really anymore.

[00:05:24] How about Musk?

[00:05:25] Nah, we're good, bud.

[00:05:26] Hey, Dana.

[00:05:27] But it was nice to see David Spade.

[00:05:29] Oh, it's like Monday you're like, oh, hey, Dana.

[00:05:32] Yeah, still here.

[00:05:33] Did the car not come?

[00:05:37] All that...

[00:05:38] We're talking shit obviously, but in the real world here, do we need this?

[00:05:43] I don't know.

[00:05:43] Who's this for?

[00:05:44] Here's the thing I will say.

[00:05:46] I mean, obviously, it's very popular.

[00:05:47] The church lady is very, very popular.

[00:05:48] Let's go ahead and give this sketch its proper introduction.

[00:05:50] Oh, sure.

[00:05:51] So this is a cold open church chat.

[00:05:53] Church lady Dana Carvey interviews Matt Gates, Hunter Biden, and Juan Soto.

[00:06:00] Gates is again played by Sarah Sherman, Hunter Biden by David Spade.

[00:06:03] Welcome to the show.

[00:06:04] And Juan Soto is played by Marcelo Hernandez.

[00:06:09] And then we've got church chat singers, Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, Emile Walken,

[00:06:15] and Jane Wickline.

[00:06:18] Yeah, this was rough.

[00:06:20] This...

[00:06:21] It was rough in so many ways.

[00:06:23] It was rough because the writing wasn't great.

[00:06:25] Like it just...

[00:06:26] I don't know if the...

[00:06:27] I don't know who wrote the original church lady.

[00:06:30] You know, like I don't know who...

[00:06:31] I assume Danny Carvey created it, but I'm assuming he had a...

[00:06:33] At least a co-writer or something, you know, back when it was famous.

[00:06:38] But it was very beloved.

[00:06:40] But this just didn't have any magic to it at all.

[00:06:42] Some of the shots, some of the transitions were awkward.

[00:06:46] It just...

[00:06:46] It did not work at all for me.

[00:06:48] Yeah.

[00:06:49] He was delaying some of the popular slogans.

[00:06:52] Like it was like waiting for the camera to come on, but the camera...

[00:06:56] It was like the light was delayed a second because the shot went to him.

[00:07:02] I don't know.

[00:07:02] It just...

[00:07:03] It was a mess.

[00:07:03] It was a mess of his guys.

[00:07:05] It felt very stilted.

[00:07:05] Yeah.

[00:07:06] It felt forced.

[00:07:07] The timing felt like it was awkward.

[00:07:09] It feels like the humor of church lady doesn't work quite as well anymore.

[00:07:14] Like some of it comes from the fact that it's a recurring sketch and like we get it,

[00:07:18] but also like this just felt like a weird mishmash of people to bring on without like much need to do it.

[00:07:27] Like obviously Hunter Biden's in the news because of the pardon.

[00:07:30] Obviously Matt Gaetz is in the news because of the piece of shit.

[00:07:33] I don't know who Juan Soto is, but it sounds like he's a big deal.

[00:07:36] One of the best baseball players of all time.

[00:07:37] He's going to sign an enormous contract somewhere.

[00:07:40] Amazing.

[00:07:40] Congratulations.

[00:07:41] I'm sure he's going to be rolling in the dough amongst other things.

[00:07:43] No, he will be.

[00:07:44] But yeah, it just felt like this all felt very forced.

[00:07:46] If there's one thing that I appreciate at least as far as just its mere existence is

[00:07:51] it was nice to have something like this as opposed to your usual political cold open.

[00:07:56] Donald Trump.

[00:07:57] Yeah.

[00:07:57] CNN here reporting from...

[00:07:59] I just wish they didn't waste it.

[00:08:00] You know, when they do something different, I wish it was a grand slam so that they...

[00:08:03] Would that have been better though?

[00:08:04] To do the church chat with a Donald Trump where she's judging him for, you know, being a degenerate

[00:08:12] essentially.

[00:08:13] I just don't know if those characters go well together.

[00:08:15] Like as far as like why each of them is funny, it's tough to do.

[00:08:18] Like you need...

[00:08:19] The people who are in up against Church Lady have to be more straight characters, I guess,

[00:08:26] because Church Lady is supposed to be the one who's a little more outlandish.

[00:08:29] Well, yeah.

[00:08:29] I mean, it works when it's...

[00:08:31] If Nate Brigazzi is on and they did this, it would have worked so much better where he's,

[00:08:36] you know, she could literally talk about his standup being too much for her.

[00:08:40] Yeah.

[00:08:41] Because it's only funny because she's the one that is outraged.

[00:08:43] Yeah.

[00:08:43] But when you have Matt Gaetz on there, of course, we're on your side, Church Lady.

[00:08:46] She's supposed to be the one where you're like, you're weird.

[00:08:49] Yeah.

[00:08:49] But when you're having characters that are weirder than her, then that doesn't work.

[00:08:52] It's not the same.

[00:08:53] Yeah.

[00:08:54] But yeah, I just feel like this was a misfire and I think that for me it was also too long

[00:09:04] because the Church Lady sketches, I think they tended to be pretty shorter, like four

[00:09:09] or five minutes.

[00:09:09] I was hoping for two guests.

[00:09:11] This was like eight minutes.

[00:09:11] I don't know that we needed the third guest.

[00:09:13] Yeah.

[00:09:13] It's usually just one guest, right?

[00:09:16] Or two.

[00:09:17] It can be two, but...

[00:09:18] Typically back in the day anyway, it was the star of...

[00:09:21] It was the host.

[00:09:21] Yeah.

[00:09:22] The first...

[00:09:22] The first episode or the first appearance was January 24th, 1987.

[00:09:28] Joe Montana and Walter Payton in season 12.

[00:09:32] By the way, who's the co-creator of this?

[00:09:35] It's probably Robert Spiegel.

[00:09:38] Rosie Schuster.

[00:09:39] Ah, nice.

[00:09:41] Okay.

[00:09:42] And so, and then Charlton Heston, then Sean Penn, third episode, Danny DeVito, then Fred

[00:09:47] Savage and Rob Lowe.

[00:09:49] So, Rob Lowe's was really good.

[00:09:51] I remember Rob Lowe's.

[00:09:52] But...

[00:09:53] Well, isn't that special?

[00:09:55] But it just didn't...

[00:09:56] And maybe too because...

[00:09:58] I don't know.

[00:09:59] Is it...

[00:10:00] Are we...

[00:10:01] This is a silly cultural question maybe.

[00:10:03] Is it because too, we're not that religious as a culture that much?

[00:10:06] So, the judgment of a church lady doesn't...

[00:10:09] It hits a little different in the 80s when our parents at least grew up in church or like

[00:10:13] had that...

[00:10:14] That maybe that cultural experience of the church lady.

[00:10:18] I mean, like, I don't know.

[00:10:19] I'm just...

[00:10:21] It makes me wonder why this...

[00:10:24] Just like you said, Brad, the humor doesn't hit as much.

[00:10:27] Yeah.

[00:10:28] I think it's just...

[00:10:29] Yeah.

[00:10:30] I think it's just that...

[00:10:32] I think it's the mix of people who are in the sketch as characters and just the rest

[00:10:37] of it being bad timing and just not as sharp writing.

[00:10:41] But I am glad that they used Phil Hartman's voiceover.

[00:10:44] I love that.

[00:10:45] Yeah.

[00:10:45] Instead of redoing it.

[00:10:46] And they also, I think, just used an old upscaled graphic because it did not look HD when

[00:10:51] they used it.

[00:10:52] Oh, yeah.

[00:10:53] There's a little nostalgia there and that's fun but other than that, oof.

[00:10:56] So, I will say this then.

[00:10:58] Let's do this.

[00:10:59] That's in some of this next episodes.

[00:11:01] That's great.

[00:11:02] Bring back some of the past cast members and do this.

[00:11:05] Like you said, this is better than the political cold opens.

[00:11:08] Bring back...

[00:11:09] I would hope it would be better writing and a better iteration of it in a different one

[00:11:14] but bring an Adam Sandler back.

[00:11:16] If you do Mike Myers next week's cold open and it just opens up and he's in the fucking

[00:11:21] bathtub, I'm going to lose my shit.

[00:11:23] Yeah.

[00:11:23] And be like, this is amazing.

[00:11:25] Well, hello, my name is Simon and I love to do drawings.

[00:11:30] Exactly.

[00:11:30] Yes.

[00:11:30] Yes.

[00:11:31] A million times yes.

[00:11:31] Yeah.

[00:11:32] So, one sketch an episode.

[00:11:34] I would love that so much.

[00:11:35] I would love that.

[00:11:36] For the 50th season?

[00:11:36] Hell yeah.

[00:11:37] Do it.

[00:11:38] All right.

[00:11:38] Let's move on.

[00:11:40] Monologue.

[00:11:41] Paul Meskel talks about his comedy chops and clears up some nasty rumors about the Irish.

[00:11:49] I don't know anything about Paul Meskel.

[00:11:51] He's Irish.

[00:11:51] I know that now.

[00:11:53] But I didn't.

[00:11:54] I don't even know of anything I've seen him in.

[00:11:57] He's in Gladiator 2.

[00:11:59] Yeah.

[00:11:59] I've not.

[00:11:59] He's in All of the Strangers.

[00:12:01] And he's been clearly in a lot of movies where he's emotional and crying.

[00:12:03] Yeah.

[00:12:04] Yeah.

[00:12:04] That was really funny.

[00:12:05] It was very funny.

[00:12:06] But I found him very charming in this.

[00:12:09] Yeah.

[00:12:10] And actually, I wasn't over the moon for his performance in Gladiator 2.

[00:12:16] But seeing how he is in real life now, I actually appreciate his performance a little bit more.

[00:12:21] Because you can tell that he did something.

[00:12:24] Acting.

[00:12:24] Yeah.

[00:12:25] Much different.

[00:12:26] And really had to try to be a more stoic, stiff personality.

[00:12:31] So it's not that the performance itself was stiff.

[00:12:34] But he legitimately did it for the character.

[00:12:36] So that was interesting to see.

[00:12:37] But yeah.

[00:12:37] He's very charming.

[00:12:38] He's charming.

[00:12:39] He's funny.

[00:12:39] He is funny.

[00:12:40] He's funny.

[00:12:40] Yeah.

[00:12:40] It was nice to see such a dramatic actor have fun and be very funny.

[00:12:44] Yeah.

[00:12:44] Self-deprecating, but in the right way where it's not like he's not hamming it up, hamming

[00:12:48] it up.

[00:12:49] But just being honest about it.

[00:12:50] And it came across very earnest.

[00:12:51] Yes.

[00:12:51] And I'll say this again.

[00:12:53] We've noted this before.

[00:12:54] Marcelo Hernandez is one of the big guys now.

[00:12:57] Right?

[00:12:57] He is a big time player.

[00:12:59] He can just come on the screen and I'm waiting for him to do something funny because

[00:13:04] I trust him.

[00:13:04] Like Bowen Yang.

[00:13:05] Like all the great, you know, Heidi Gardner, when they're on the stage and they're on camera,

[00:13:11] you know they're going to do something funny and that's the way he is.

[00:13:13] I mean just even in his little statements, and I'm sorry America.

[00:13:17] Yeah.

[00:13:17] When he walks away.

[00:13:19] Yeah.

[00:13:19] What did he say?

[00:13:20] And goodbye America.

[00:13:21] Yeah.

[00:13:21] It was a great little one line.

[00:13:24] He's great at delivering it and I'm just such a bit curious.

[00:13:27] It seems like he's a pretty big deal now because like I see him doing T-Mobile commercials.

[00:13:31] Yeah.

[00:13:31] Well, the Sabrina Carpenter video.

[00:13:34] Yeah.

[00:13:34] Where he was at the concert and they called out Domingo.

[00:13:37] Yeah.

[00:13:37] In front of like whatever, 30,000 screaming fans and the knowledgeable cheer, right?

[00:13:44] Oh, yeah.

[00:13:44] Nobody that didn't know who he was.

[00:13:46] I mean it wasn't like that's kind of funny or whatever.

[00:13:48] It was incredible.

[00:13:49] These were 16 to 25 year old guys.

[00:13:52] Yeah, everybody.

[00:13:53] And so his target demographic, I mean the 18 to 30 whatever the marketers really love.

[00:13:57] Yeah.

[00:13:58] Oh, man.

[00:13:58] Marcelo Hernandez is checking those boxes off right now.

[00:14:01] He's a short king.

[00:14:02] He is a short king.

[00:14:03] Good for him.

[00:14:04] Yeah.

[00:14:05] All right.

[00:14:06] Moving on.

[00:14:07] Earring.

[00:14:08] Parents played by Heidi Gardner and Emile Walken.

[00:14:10] Welcome to the show, by the way.

[00:14:12] Emile Walken.

[00:14:12] Yeah.

[00:14:13] He seems to be getting a little bit more play.

[00:14:16] Overact when their son played by Paul Meskel comes home with an ear piercing.

[00:14:20] And by the way, I bought Emile with the gray hair.

[00:14:23] He played an old.

[00:14:24] I was like, okay, I'll take him as the dad.

[00:14:26] Yeah, it was good.

[00:14:27] This was great.

[00:14:29] Heidi Gardner being Heidi Gardner.

[00:14:30] Yeah.

[00:14:30] I loved her at her best.

[00:14:32] I loved her.

[00:14:33] Yeah.

[00:14:34] I thought she was hilarious.

[00:14:35] It was so fun.

[00:14:36] Did you ever have a moment where your parents did something like this where they're like

[00:14:40] being absurd kind of like, wait a second.

[00:14:42] Why are you so mad about this kind of?

[00:14:44] I got my eyebrow pierced in college and my dad threatened to rip it out.

[00:14:49] Well, let's be clear.

[00:14:49] That was a stupid decision.

[00:14:51] I mean, it was fine.

[00:14:52] I had it for a couple years.

[00:14:53] I had the top of my cartilage pierced in me.

[00:14:54] Oh, nice.

[00:14:55] Did you really?

[00:14:56] I did.

[00:14:57] That's impossible for me to imagine.

[00:14:59] I even did.

[00:15:02] That's impossible for me to imagine.

[00:15:04] What is the like weight?

[00:15:06] Wait a minute.

[00:15:06] When I got my eyebrow pierced, you didn't say that's impossible for me to imagine.

[00:15:10] Right.

[00:15:11] Because we're beginning like six months of Ben like having an infected eyebrow.

[00:15:17] He basically just looked like an Italian mobster where he just had a wonky eye like he'd

[00:15:21] got in a fight the night before.

[00:15:23] The ladies loved it.

[00:15:25] Because it's really good for sex, right?

[00:15:27] Yeah, that's when you rub your eyebrow on people's lips and they just love it.

[00:15:34] But yeah, I did have that.

[00:15:36] Actually, the hole, once you put the hole in the cartilage, it stays there.

[00:15:39] Oh yeah, it's there.

[00:15:40] Do you hang Christmas ornaments on it?

[00:15:42] No, because the skin does heal but the cartilage, like I could.

[00:15:45] Yeah, I had both of my ears pierced and my nose and my tongue.

[00:15:48] Oh, your tongue pierced.

[00:15:49] Oh, not my nose.

[00:15:49] Sorry, my eyebrow.

[00:15:50] But you got your tongue pierced?

[00:15:51] Yeah, my tongue pierced for a whole year.

[00:15:52] What the fuck's wrong with you?

[00:15:54] That's so gross.

[00:15:55] When I was in the-

[00:15:55] There were people who would stick their tongue out and be like, oh.

[00:15:58] No.

[00:15:59] My biggest concern-

[00:16:00] I was 18.

[00:16:00] Is I would see people doing it and I would see the bottom ball bearing get on their tooth

[00:16:04] and I was just like, ah, ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:16:07] Yep, you would roll it on your ears.

[00:16:10] Hey, you're gross.

[00:16:11] Hey, but the ladies always wanted to kiss a guy with a tongue ring because they never had

[00:16:15] one before.

[00:16:15] Nah.

[00:16:16] Got a lot of first kisses.

[00:16:17] Did it hurt ever?

[00:16:18] Like kissing?

[00:16:19] Like if they're aggressive?

[00:16:20] I mean, you had to-

[00:16:20] I had an interview for a job two days after I got it pierced.

[00:16:25] And so I went in-

[00:16:25] And so the tongue is swollen?

[00:16:26] Yep, it was so swollen.

[00:16:27] And he didn't get that job.

[00:16:28] I did.

[00:16:29] I got the job, but it was-

[00:16:30] I was like, don't worry, I have a-

[00:16:32] I think I had a potato done.

[00:16:34] So-

[00:16:35] You had a what done?

[00:16:35] A potato.

[00:16:36] What?

[00:16:37] A potato.

[00:16:39] A tongue potato.

[00:16:40] Yeah, I bet.

[00:16:41] So Brad, what did you think of this one?

[00:16:43] No, I thought this was very funny.

[00:16:45] And funnily enough, I also felt like it felt like a sketch that would have been in like

[00:16:49] the 90s or something too.

[00:16:50] Yeah, exactly.

[00:16:51] Exactly.

[00:16:51] It had kind of a classic feel to it.

[00:16:53] Yeah, and it had a good escalation at the end, right?

[00:16:56] You see-

[00:16:56] It was quick too.

[00:16:57] The bloody, whatever, you know-

[00:16:59] The spatula.

[00:17:00] But it happens with quick and it was such a good job by props.

[00:17:03] Yeah.

[00:17:03] Because it stayed, whatever they did, I mean she's wangling that thing around, it stayed

[00:17:07] on there.

[00:17:07] I was so happy with the way that worked out.

[00:17:08] And Michael Longfellow appearing at the end.

[00:17:10] Yeah.

[00:17:11] Like I was saying, like it was a very clean-

[00:17:14] Great escalation.

[00:17:14] Funny sketch.

[00:17:15] Yeah.

[00:17:15] Everything worked well.

[00:17:16] A couple great physical bits throwing Ashley Padilla through the window.

[00:17:19] Twice.

[00:17:20] So good.

[00:17:21] And then I also really liked the slow clap when he tried to accuse him of being homophobic.

[00:17:26] Like, oh.

[00:17:27] Oh, here we are.

[00:17:29] Yeah, that's what we are.

[00:17:30] That response before, many people have had, right?

[00:17:33] From parents are like, oh, oh, so we're racist because we said racist things.

[00:17:36] Take a bow.

[00:17:37] No, I always said colored instead of black.

[00:17:40] Like, okay, Thanksgiving's over.

[00:17:44] Jesus.

[00:17:46] But yeah, I thought-

[00:17:47] Did you get in trouble for that, Ben?

[00:17:49] Ha ha ha ha ha.

[00:17:51] You're such an asshole.

[00:17:52] So I thought this was very good.

[00:17:55] Kudos.

[00:17:55] I don't know, again, we tend to, or we like to read the names of the writers of the sketch

[00:18:01] because we want to-

[00:18:03] Credit where credit's due, man.

[00:18:04] But we're recording this Sunday night and oftentimes those go out on people's social media.

[00:18:09] SNL doesn't release those.

[00:18:11] The cast or the writers release that.

[00:18:12] Yeah, unless it's a pre-tape and you can see it in the actual credits.

[00:18:15] And so I don't know who wrote that.

[00:18:16] We've said this before.

[00:18:17] Let's move on.

[00:18:18] We've said this before.

[00:18:18] Hey, calm down.

[00:18:19] That's fine.

[00:18:20] Let's ask for us.

[00:18:20] Let's go.

[00:18:21] Maybe someone joined the podcast just now.

[00:18:23] And so I want people to know, I don't know who wrote that, but whoever did, great job.

[00:18:26] Good job.

[00:18:27] Great job.

[00:18:28] Moving on.

[00:18:29] Glad to-

[00:18:29] Actually, real quick.

[00:18:30] Can we run through the process and talk about how SNL works?

[00:18:34] Oh my God.

[00:18:34] I hate you so much.

[00:18:36] Gladiator 2 trailer.

[00:18:38] A movie trailer introduces a musical version of Gladiator 2.

[00:18:41] This was written, I know who wrote this, by Jane-

[00:18:44] He's not going to tell us.

[00:18:46] By Jane Wickline, Shooter Seidel, and Mikey Day.

[00:18:48] Wow, really?

[00:18:49] Yeah, that's why I wanted to read that because I knew that.

[00:18:51] Very cool.

[00:18:51] And kudos to Jane Wickline.

[00:18:53] Yeah, for sure.

[00:18:53] We know that her and I have had a history.

[00:18:56] Yeah, I would say that you and Ben were pretty unjustifiably mean to her.

[00:18:59] I believe that was Nate alone.

[00:19:01] We've talked about this.

[00:19:02] It was definitely-

[00:19:03] No, no, no, no.

[00:19:04] Who's shown you on the bus right now?

[00:19:06] You jumped on that bandwagon like I had eyebrow piercings for free.

[00:19:08] You go back and you listen.

[00:19:10] I was always on your side with that, Brad.

[00:19:12] That's not even close to me.

[00:19:14] I never even once.

[00:19:15] If anything, you kept waffling back and forth.

[00:19:17] Like, oh, hold on, it's taken.

[00:19:18] I love waffles.

[00:19:19] But then he leaned towards me at the end, didn't he not?

[00:19:21] Yeah, he did.

[00:19:21] Yeah, I leaned towards you and said, leave her alone.

[00:19:23] He nestled into you like you were about to.

[00:19:24] I leaned in and I said, leave her alone.

[00:19:26] She's a great, great performer.

[00:19:27] But kudos to her for writing this.

[00:19:29] Yeah, because this was very good.

[00:19:31] Yeah, very good.

[00:19:32] Yeah, a gladiator to musical redux where they did reshoots.

[00:19:37] Great production value.

[00:19:39] Paul Meskel.

[00:19:39] Paul Meskel, going for it.

[00:19:40] Yeah.

[00:19:41] This reminded me a little bit of when Owen Wilson was on and they had the Cars 4 thing

[00:19:46] that they were doing.

[00:19:47] And I was like, to take a brand that you are insanely famous for, right?

[00:19:50] And Paul Meskel is, this is the only thing that general audiences really know him from.

[00:19:54] Like, this is the biggest thing he'll ever do.

[00:19:56] And to really target it.

[00:19:58] Yeah.

[00:19:58] That's so funny when they have that level of, I'm fine with it.

[00:20:02] Yeah.

[00:20:02] That's great.

[00:20:02] And the songs were really good too.

[00:20:04] They were fun.

[00:20:04] Oh, the Lin-Manuel Miranda one was just perfect.

[00:20:07] Oh God.

[00:20:08] That captured his style.

[00:20:09] And the violence too, still with like the swords cutting off hands and stuff and still

[00:20:12] being a musical, it was great.

[00:20:14] No, this was really, really well done.

[00:20:14] See, if they made musicals like this, Nate, I'd watch them.

[00:20:17] Speaking of musicals.

[00:20:18] Well, actually then you need to watch a movie called Anna and the Apocalypse, my friend.

[00:20:22] That doesn't sound like a musical.

[00:20:23] It is.

[00:20:23] It is a Christmas musical actually.

[00:20:26] Where have I not seen that?

[00:20:27] You haven't seen Anna and the Apocalypse?

[00:20:29] Oh my gosh.

[00:20:30] Sounds like for our other podcast Go Flicks Yourself we just got an assignment, Nate.

[00:20:33] Yep.

[00:20:33] Yeah, it is.

[00:20:34] Or Ben and I will watch it.

[00:20:35] It's like musicals Shaun of the Dead at Christmas.

[00:20:37] Okay.

[00:20:37] I'll watch it.

[00:20:38] You should.

[00:20:38] But speaking of musicals, again, Brad, Paul Meskel has a great voice and he's in a musical

[00:20:47] coming up called Merrily We Roll Along, which is a very famous musical.

[00:20:50] So I think they are filming it right now.

[00:20:53] Cool.

[00:20:54] And so you can understand why he got hired because he has a fantastic voice.

[00:20:57] He does.

[00:20:58] And I also really liked the pull quote they did for Ridley Scott.

[00:21:02] I did not approve this.

[00:21:03] I did not approve this.

[00:21:04] That was good.

[00:21:06] All right.

[00:21:07] Moving on.

[00:21:09] Italian restaurant commercial.

[00:21:11] Two actors played by Paul Meskel and Ashley Padilla go off script while filming a commercial

[00:21:16] for an Italian restaurant.

[00:21:19] I feel like Ashley Padilla has been on the show for a long time.

[00:21:23] She has a comfort and she has a weird like old school vibe to her.

[00:21:29] Yeah.

[00:21:29] It's impossible not to like her.

[00:21:31] Like it just feels like that.

[00:21:33] I've compared her to Anagastair before, but just that old like she's never probably going

[00:21:38] to be the star of SNL like a season of star.

[00:21:42] Yeah.

[00:21:42] But she is going to have a career here.

[00:21:44] And I feel like for a long time she could because she just brings a very specific type

[00:21:51] of energy.

[00:21:52] Yeah.

[00:21:53] When and to your point, when you can fill a role on Saturday Night Live.

[00:21:57] Yep.

[00:21:57] Oh, we need a mom for this sketch.

[00:21:58] Exactly.

[00:21:59] That is the Anagastair type order.

[00:22:01] Even Sherry Oteri did it pretty well.

[00:22:03] Yep.

[00:22:04] Maya Rudolph sometimes, but she was a little more bombastic.

[00:22:06] For sure.

[00:22:06] But that is such a needed role.

[00:22:09] Yep.

[00:22:09] Right.

[00:22:09] And so if you can do it, that's one thing.

[00:22:11] Plenty of actresses on the show have done that, right?

[00:22:14] Plenty of cast members have played that role.

[00:22:16] But when you can make it memorable and fun, that's next level.

[00:22:20] And she makes things memorable.

[00:22:22] Exactly.

[00:22:22] And so I thought this was actually pretty funny.

[00:22:24] No, I thought this was very funny.

[00:22:26] I thought Palmesco was also good in it.

[00:22:28] Yep.

[00:22:28] Very good.

[00:22:29] The desperation.

[00:22:30] I just thought we were trying stuff.

[00:22:32] I'm just trying everything.

[00:22:33] So good.

[00:22:34] Spaghetti or not, we're going to kill you.

[00:22:36] So the only thing I didn't love is, I mean, I love Keenan.

[00:22:40] It was a little too much for me.

[00:22:43] Oh, no.

[00:22:44] I loved seeing Keenan as an Italian guy, actually.

[00:22:47] Yeah, no.

[00:22:48] I'm not joking.

[00:22:49] That part's fine.

[00:22:50] I don't love what they did with it is what I'm saying.

[00:22:52] Yeah, it felt a little cheaper.

[00:22:53] It felt a weird way to end it.

[00:22:55] I liked it.

[00:22:56] I'm with you.

[00:22:57] The sketch was going really well.

[00:22:59] And I liked the escalation of it.

[00:23:01] I thought it was well.

[00:23:02] They brought him in.

[00:23:03] I thought, oh.

[00:23:04] And I'm still on board here.

[00:23:07] I'm like, okay.

[00:23:08] But then it all kind of wrapped up in some kind of like melancholy.

[00:23:11] Like, oh God.

[00:23:12] Or not melancholy, but what am I trying to say?

[00:23:14] What's the-

[00:23:14] I don't know.

[00:23:15] What's a happy ending?

[00:23:18] You know when they like make things melancholy?

[00:23:19] Yeah, I've been done.

[00:23:20] What's the Zeus?

[00:23:21] I'm going to figure it out.

[00:23:21] You think of the word saccharine?

[00:23:23] No.

[00:23:23] You dummy?

[00:23:25] No, like we're all works out in the end.

[00:23:27] Happy ending.

[00:23:28] Okay.

[00:23:31] Anyway.

[00:23:32] No, I disagree.

[00:23:33] I agree.

[00:23:34] I thought that that was just a really funny thing because it's so absurd that that would

[00:23:37] be part of his family history and for it to like suddenly be okay.

[00:23:41] I just thought that was too absurd.

[00:23:43] No, it's a sketch comedy show.

[00:23:45] It is.

[00:23:45] I thought that was fine.

[00:23:46] I just didn't think you necessarily needed it.

[00:23:48] Great sketch.

[00:23:49] Good sketch by the end.

[00:23:50] Yeah.

[00:23:51] All right.

[00:23:52] That was pretty great sketch all around.

[00:23:53] Moving on.

[00:23:54] My boys.

[00:23:55] My boys are back.

[00:23:56] Please don't destroy film.

[00:23:58] Paul Meskel is daddy.

[00:24:00] Paul Meskel shares his dream life with Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Hurley.

[00:24:07] Listeners of this podcast know that I am Please Don't Destroy's biggest fan.

[00:24:11] I love these guys.

[00:24:13] When there isn't a Please Don't Destroy pre-tape, I get upset.

[00:24:16] They're back and I'm so grateful they were.

[00:24:19] This had me freaking rolling.

[00:24:21] I loved this.

[00:24:22] Yes, I agree.

[00:24:25] I was surprised to see it go to a much more elaborate level because I thought it

[00:24:30] was just going to stay there and he was going to keep talking about how he loved them.

[00:24:34] And so when it went to the cabin and they did like a whole thing there.

[00:24:36] Yeah.

[00:24:37] No, that was a new level of escalation for him too, right?

[00:24:39] Like that was like a...

[00:24:40] I was with you, Brad.

[00:24:42] I'm like, oh, this is going to be fun.

[00:24:43] They're just going to do the thing that they do in the office where they ping pong off

[00:24:47] each other.

[00:24:49] Then, you know, somebody says something more absurd than they...

[00:24:51] Yeah.

[00:24:52] And I'm going to laugh still because it's going to be great.

[00:24:55] But this still surprised me.

[00:24:56] Yeah.

[00:24:57] Right?

[00:24:57] Where they went with this.

[00:24:58] It's always like they're able to escalate when they just keep it in the office, right?

[00:25:03] Then when they take it somewhere else and they're able to use the outside to do that.

[00:25:06] I mean, it was...

[00:25:07] Yeah.

[00:25:07] I really liked when they showed up at the cabin and it became a real family type.

[00:25:11] I don't know.

[00:25:11] It's just...

[00:25:12] And it's about the holidays too.

[00:25:13] I mean, we're getting into the holiday season here and it just felt...

[00:25:17] It was a bit saccharine, Brad.

[00:25:19] Eh.

[00:25:21] No, it was good.

[00:25:22] It was very good.

[00:25:23] I especially liked the ending too with Jane Wicklund coming in and seeing him kissing

[00:25:27] them on the forehead on their blanket and just being like, oh, okay.

[00:25:29] All right.

[00:25:29] I'm going to go.

[00:25:30] You said Jane Wicklund.

[00:25:31] Is it Jane Wicklund or Jane Wicklion?

[00:25:33] I said Jane Wicklion.

[00:25:34] I just said it fast.

[00:25:36] He's got a razor sharp wit.

[00:25:37] I think Van has to talk fast.

[00:25:39] You got to keep up.

[00:25:40] All right.

[00:25:41] Moving on.

[00:25:43] Pirates.

[00:25:44] A bachelorette...

[00:25:45] Sorry.

[00:25:46] A bachelorette party attends a show put on by male dancers played by Paul Meskel, Mikey

[00:25:52] Day, Bowen Yang, Andrew Speaks, Marcelo Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, and Michael Longfellow.

[00:25:58] Ben, what did you think of this?

[00:25:59] I love this premise so much.

[00:26:02] I agree.

[00:26:03] That I was so let down by it.

[00:26:04] Yeah.

[00:26:05] Yeah.

[00:26:05] Because this is one of the...

[00:26:07] This is like when you hear that Hollywood is going to remake Death Warrant and then you

[00:26:13] see the movie that Bruce Willis did and you're like, oh no.

[00:26:15] Because that evidently was one of the best scripts that had been passed around Hollywood

[00:26:18] for a while and then they turned it into a B movie.

[00:26:20] This is what this felt like.

[00:26:21] This premise was so good.

[00:26:23] Yeah.

[00:26:23] And it was just, you got what you got.

[00:26:24] You know?

[00:26:25] Yeah.

[00:26:25] It felt like it went on too long without much escalation.

[00:26:29] Like they did the joke and it was...

[00:26:30] We get it.

[00:26:31] They're taking it very seriously.

[00:26:32] They're talking about real pirate terms.

[00:26:33] Yeah.

[00:26:34] And they're living that life on stage.

[00:26:35] It's a stage play.

[00:26:36] Yeah.

[00:26:36] It needed something to like push it to a weirder place or a more absurd place.

[00:26:41] And I would have liked to have seen it go somewhere different as opposed to just kind

[00:26:45] of repeating the same thing a few times over and over again.

[00:26:48] But the one thing that did help is Ego...

[00:26:51] I was just saying Ego would have made me laugh.

[00:26:54] Ego would have made me laugh.

[00:26:55] Yeah.

[00:26:55] Into that aspect of it is...

[00:26:56] That's a nice add in for sure.

[00:26:59] Any time a sketch like this is done though where it takes essentially the whole cast on

[00:27:03] stage, it's a production.

[00:27:05] Right?

[00:27:06] So kudos for the try.

[00:27:08] Yeah.

[00:27:08] It just...

[00:27:08] What a great premise and just not an incredible...

[00:27:11] It wasn't like I didn't hate it but it was just not where I wanted it to go.

[00:27:15] It just felt like it was a little squandered.

[00:27:17] Yep.

[00:27:17] All right.

[00:27:18] Moving on.

[00:27:19] Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che.

[00:27:23] But just like in 15 seconds explain the predominant.

[00:27:26] Well it used to be that we would just gauge whether or not there was a good interaction

[00:27:31] between Michael Che and Colin Jost.

[00:27:34] Did it matter that the show was actually good?

[00:27:36] A little bit.

[00:27:37] But mainly it was about the camaraderie or the lack thereof, chemistry lack thereof.

[00:27:40] And then Brad gives a score on 0 to 100 and 100 being the highest.

[00:27:44] And lately everything's been 118 or 5,422.

[00:27:50] Like everything's perfect.

[00:27:51] Not true.

[00:27:51] It's not true.

[00:27:51] And it's like it's okay.

[00:27:53] And then the one...

[00:27:54] It's 96.

[00:27:54] And then the one I'm like that's...

[00:27:56] Well based on his ratings lately that's a 98 and he's like I don't know 52.

[00:28:00] Yeah.

[00:28:00] Like so...

[00:28:00] There's no science behind it.

[00:28:02] It's dumb.

[00:28:03] Brad's dumb.

[00:28:04] But we do it every time.

[00:28:05] We started doing it 150 episodes ago.

[00:28:08] Yeah.

[00:28:08] And we gotta keep on doing it.

[00:28:09] I've tried now to make Nate and I say it at the same time.

[00:28:12] Nate does this dumb thing like...

[00:28:13] It's like playing rock, paper, scissors with somebody who cheats.

[00:28:16] He just like waits and then throws his little late so he can see what you threw first.

[00:28:21] I'd like to do $1.

[00:28:24] Because I'm like on three like 1, 2, 3 and you say the thing and I'm like 1, 2, 3,

[00:28:28] 50, 60, and you're...

[00:28:29] Okay.

[00:28:29] Firstly, do you think that he...

[00:28:32] Do you think it was a higher score?

[00:28:34] Yes.

[00:28:36] Is there a reason why you think it was a higher score?

[00:28:38] I mean there was direct interplay between the two which is neat.

[00:28:42] Was there a specific thing though?

[00:28:44] I can't remember off the time.

[00:28:45] I remember thinking in the moment like Che either said something to Joe's or the other

[00:28:51] way around where they literally talked to each other in the...

[00:28:53] I think that when they do that it is more than anything should be a higher redometer

[00:28:59] score.

[00:28:59] So that's what I was going off of.

[00:29:00] So I'm gonna go...

[00:29:01] I'm gonna say 90.

[00:29:02] I'm gonna say 85.

[00:29:04] Oh, interesting choices gentlemen.

[00:29:07] That's about 107.

[00:29:08] Today we went with a 92.

[00:29:11] I almost said 92.

[00:29:12] I'm not gonna lie.

[00:29:13] Okay.

[00:29:13] I thought it was a little too high.

[00:29:15] Brad, Dr. Oman, explain to us why you prescribed that.

[00:29:19] Funny.

[00:29:20] Pfft.

[00:29:22] No.

[00:29:23] They...

[00:29:23] So while this was one where they didn't have like a constant direct interaction, they

[00:29:29] just had a good like vibing off of each other where they were like laughing at each other's

[00:29:33] stuff and they did have somewhat of interaction without directly talking to each other.

[00:29:36] And like they did have that thing too where Che did like a joke and it cut to Jost and he was like, wait, why is the camera on me?

[00:29:44] Why are you cutting me?

[00:29:45] Yeah.

[00:29:45] So there was good stuff in here but like there was...

[00:29:47] You could tell they were having fun with each other.

[00:29:49] 92 is high.

[00:29:51] That news is pretty high.

[00:29:52] Right?

[00:29:52] It was really good.

[00:29:55] But they didn't have a lot.

[00:29:56] They had the one where it was like picture in picture live of it and he was like 88.

[00:30:00] But that was only...

[00:30:01] Exactly.

[00:30:01] That was only once.

[00:30:03] This had a constant energy throughout where they felt like they were like really like in with each other and on each other's wavelength.

[00:30:10] All right.

[00:30:11] What's next, Mr. Nate?

[00:30:12] All right.

[00:30:12] A mom whose son just got famous.

[00:30:16] A mom played by Heidi Gardner whose son, Marcelo Hernandez, dead behind the eyes, just got famous.

[00:30:21] Stops by Weekend Update to discuss navigating her son's overnight success.

[00:30:26] This is playing on the idea that first your NFL players or baseball players or NBA players are 18, 19 years old.

[00:30:37] They're still being raised by parents and moms and things like this.

[00:30:41] And so Heidi Gardner plays that mom.

[00:30:45] What did you guys think of this?

[00:30:47] This is like a chaotic Heidi Gardner character.

[00:30:51] She does a lot of crazy kind of mom stuff.

[00:30:55] Did you like this iteration of it?

[00:30:57] I thought it was fine.

[00:30:59] I didn't love it.

[00:31:00] I thought Heidi Gardner was very good in it.

[00:31:02] I liked seeing Marcelo in a more reserved...

[00:31:06] Subdued role.

[00:31:07] Yeah, comedic performance.

[00:31:09] But otherwise the premise itself I was just like, oh, okay.

[00:31:12] Yeah.

[00:31:13] It was...

[00:31:13] I'm not sure where it came from.

[00:31:14] I mean, it's like yet another character where Heidi Gardner plays some kind of like very

[00:31:20] strange...

[00:31:20] Over-the-top.

[00:31:22] Frantic, frenetic pace.

[00:31:24] But, you know, is it any better than Ego Wodum's Woman That Can't Find Her Phone?

[00:31:30] You know, like it...

[00:31:31] Those characters seem to be very prevalent right now.

[00:31:34] The frenetic pace of a woman behind the desk.

[00:31:37] And I mean, sure, but it's kind of like the same iteration over and over again.

[00:31:41] I kind of am hoping for something different next time.

[00:31:44] Again, not that this was bad, whatever you love.

[00:31:47] Heidi Gardner, if she does anything, she commits to the bit.

[00:31:50] I mean, you cannot waver that woman.

[00:31:52] She is incredible in that kind of stuff.

[00:31:54] Yeah.

[00:31:55] She does characters like this though, right?

[00:31:57] This is not a very rare type of character for her.

[00:32:00] And so when you compare it to the other characters that she's done like this, it's not one of the more memorable ones.

[00:32:07] But everything she did was good because Heidi Gardner is good, right?

[00:32:09] Exactly.

[00:32:10] So there was nothing wrong with it.

[00:32:12] It was fine.

[00:32:14] All right.

[00:32:14] Moving on.

[00:32:15] Of the Andrew Dismukes...

[00:32:17] Of the Dismukesian sketch of the night.

[00:32:20] Dismukesian.

[00:32:21] Brilliant lawyer.

[00:32:22] Things go off the rails when a lawyer, played by Andrew Dismukes, attempts to defend his client, played by Paul Meskel in court.

[00:32:29] I don't know if Andrew Dismukes wrote this, but I know Andrew Dismukes wrote this.

[00:32:36] This is probably...

[00:32:41] No, guys.

[00:32:42] This is the best sketch of the night.

[00:32:44] If you don't agree, I'll kill myself.

[00:32:45] Whoa!

[00:32:46] Wow!

[00:32:47] That is aggressive.

[00:32:48] Okay.

[00:32:50] Let's reel it in a little bit.

[00:32:52] No, but that's not what I was saying.

[00:32:54] I was doing a bit from the sketch.

[00:32:56] Nate, I understand.

[00:32:56] I get it.

[00:32:58] I know, but you can't...

[00:32:59] It's a poor bit and you're gonna kill yourself.

[00:33:01] It's a great bit.

[00:33:01] It's a great bit.

[00:33:01] You know what, Nate?

[00:33:02] Just like I disagreed with you about her, I'll agree with you here that this is a great bit.

[00:33:11] He couldn't even remember her name.

[00:33:13] I know.

[00:33:14] Jane Wickline, by the way.

[00:33:15] Or if you're Brad, Jane Wicklin.

[00:33:18] That's a man.

[00:33:18] There's two people together.

[00:33:20] Brad's like, Jane Wicklin.

[00:33:21] No, I said Jane Wicklin.

[00:33:22] I was just too fast for you, bro.

[00:33:24] Yeah, I am too fast.

[00:33:26] Oh yeah, too furious.

[00:33:27] Well, you have the fastest lips in the West.

[00:33:29] That's what they used to call me.

[00:33:29] Nobody has said that ever.

[00:33:30] I don't believe you at all.

[00:33:31] Nobody has said that.

[00:33:32] Literally no one's ever said that.

[00:33:33] You don't think anybody's ever said that about me?

[00:33:34] That you have the fastest lips in the West?

[00:33:37] Yeah, you don't think anybody has said that about me?

[00:33:39] No.

[00:33:40] I said it about myself, so you lose.

[00:33:42] All right, hey Brad, what did you think of this sketch?

[00:33:45] Yeah.

[00:33:45] Brilliant lawyer.

[00:33:46] I thought this sketch was hilarious, and if you don't think it's the best of the night,

[00:33:49] I'm going to kill myself.

[00:33:50] It was not the best of the night, but it was very good.

[00:33:54] It's very, I love the word, Dismukesian.

[00:33:56] Yeah, it's so Dismukesian.

[00:33:57] It's so Dismukesian.

[00:33:58] Yeah.

[00:33:58] I am, I, my favorite thing is just the levels of absurdity as they keep going along as he

[00:34:05] keeps introducing new plans as to how he thinks he's going to pull it off.

[00:34:08] Like plan C, plan D, plan E.

[00:34:10] Yeah.

[00:34:10] We're not done.

[00:34:11] We're not done yet.

[00:34:12] Don't worry.

[00:34:12] I've got a plan.

[00:34:13] You have a plan E?

[00:34:14] And just the endless confidence and cockiness where he thinks he's going to pull it off.

[00:34:18] Yep.

[00:34:19] I really thought that would work.

[00:34:20] Which is something that speaks us so well, where he's got this unearned confidence.

[00:34:24] Like they shuffle them all around and it's like, did you think that was going to work?

[00:34:28] There was a second where I thought when he went to talk to the one black guy in the

[00:34:34] crowd of people that he legitimately thought that's who his client was as opposed to him

[00:34:39] trying to pull it off again.

[00:34:41] Like he's just that bad of a lawyer?

[00:34:43] Yeah, because it could have gone either way.

[00:34:44] Where like he thought the plan worked so well that he lost track of his clients.

[00:34:48] No, I mean, honestly, it's a very funny sketch.

[00:34:52] Yeah, it's I don't know.

[00:34:54] There's there's just something about it that I it's it's a one man show, though.

[00:34:58] It's just me.

[00:34:59] Only for sure.

[00:34:59] You know, it's just him doing his bit.

[00:35:01] So I don't know.

[00:35:02] They're not not not that you could have really asked for anybody else to join in and do much

[00:35:05] more.

[00:35:06] Right.

[00:35:06] Because they were just it's just a platform for him to do that.

[00:35:08] Yeah.

[00:35:08] Right.

[00:35:09] And it almost felt like a 10 to 1 sketch.

[00:35:10] Honestly, it did very much.

[00:35:12] I enjoyed this a lot.

[00:35:14] Dismixian.

[00:35:14] I like it.

[00:35:15] All right.

[00:35:15] Moving on Spotify wrapped.

[00:35:17] Do you guys get do you guys use Spotify?

[00:35:18] I use Apple music.

[00:35:19] I do use Spotify.

[00:35:19] Apple music has its own version, but it was.

[00:35:21] Was it just Creed?

[00:35:23] All albums of Creed?

[00:35:24] Doogleback, Creed.

[00:35:25] Yeah.

[00:35:25] It was.

[00:35:26] And also covers of Creed.

[00:35:27] I like to hear other bands do covers of Creed songs.

[00:35:29] Can you take me?

[00:35:30] You know what I thought about Brad the other day when we went to go see a movie together

[00:35:34] that Brad has the fastest lips in the West?

[00:35:36] No.

[00:35:37] Didn't find that out.

[00:35:38] But what I did find out about Brad is Brad is the captain, the general of the Limp Bizkit

[00:35:45] fan club.

[00:35:45] Oh, yeah.

[00:35:46] I still like, I will listen to Limp Bizkit all day.

[00:35:48] Yeah, yeah.

[00:35:49] No, no.

[00:35:49] I had it on the other day.

[00:35:50] I was cleaning the house.

[00:35:50] I'm not being, I'm not joking.

[00:35:52] Brad loves.

[00:35:52] No, no.

[00:35:52] I have a pirate ship hat that says that I'm the captain of the SS Limp Bizkit.

[00:35:58] I thought you were obviously making an analogy of some sort, but okay.

[00:36:02] Fair enough.

[00:36:02] No, no.

[00:36:03] I do love me some Limp Bizkit.

[00:36:05] We were jamming pretty hard.

[00:36:06] They did it all for the Nikki.

[00:36:08] So was Limp Bizkit on your Spotify wrapped?

[00:36:10] No, not this year.

[00:36:11] Not this year, last year.

[00:36:13] Actually, I did have one weird, because I've been really into All I Need Is A Miracle,

[00:36:19] the song by Mike and the Mechanics this year.

[00:36:22] Oh, wow.

[00:36:22] Okay.

[00:36:23] From like the 80s?

[00:36:24] Yeah.

[00:36:24] I don't know why.

[00:36:25] It just keeps me pumped.

[00:36:26] I've been listening to it while I've been driving.

[00:36:28] It was my number one song this year.

[00:36:30] How does that get you pumped, by the way?

[00:36:31] It's a very uplifting, you need to listen to it again.

[00:36:33] It's a very uplifting song.

[00:36:34] Is that the 42?

[00:36:36] No, it's like, no.

[00:36:37] All I need is a miracle.

[00:36:39] All I need is you.

[00:36:42] All I need is a miracle.

[00:36:45] I'm not joking.

[00:36:46] Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[00:36:47] I don't get that.

[00:36:47] Sounds like a fake song.

[00:36:49] From a Hallmark movie.

[00:36:50] You need to listen to it again.

[00:36:51] It's really uplifting.

[00:36:53] No, it gets your heart pumped.

[00:36:54] It's kind of like a Harold Ramis movie or something, like using the credits or something.

[00:36:58] I mean, it's a miracle?

[00:36:58] Actually, if you remember, they do use it at the end of Spencer, and it's a very triumphant

[00:37:03] moment for Diana as she leaves with her kids.

[00:37:05] I don't remember that.

[00:37:07] No, that's fine.

[00:37:07] You don't remember that.

[00:37:07] She got the miracle that she needed.

[00:37:09] But no, so that was the weird one.

[00:37:11] But I've also been listening to a ton of podcasts, so my music stuff was not like,

[00:37:15] I think for the second time, Weezer was my most listened to artist, because I always

[00:37:19] listen to a bunch of Weezer.

[00:37:20] But my runner up was Dua Lipa, so I got a personal message that nobody else got.

[00:37:26] All right.

[00:37:27] Hey, real quick for our listeners, Brad, because some of them watch this.

[00:37:32] Yes, I will marry Dua Lipa.

[00:37:33] No.

[00:37:35] Explain to our listeners who Trisha Paytas is.

[00:37:37] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:38] I don't know who that is.

[00:37:39] Let me tell you.

[00:37:39] I don't fucking know.

[00:37:41] So, yeah, I didn't understand that reference at all.

[00:37:43] I don't know who that is.

[00:37:44] I looked her up and it looks like she is some kind of online person.

[00:37:47] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:47] She's very popular.

[00:37:48] Yeah.

[00:37:48] And people on the subreddit for SNL are like, wow, they're using her because she's apparently

[00:37:54] has some transphobic things and she said some pretty chaotic things on her podcast.

[00:38:00] She seems pretty chaotic.

[00:38:01] Yeah.

[00:38:02] Exactly.

[00:38:03] It struck me as, that seems right.

[00:38:05] I had no idea who this was.

[00:38:07] I still don't.

[00:38:07] I liked the oddness of Bowen Yang's character in this one, but I felt like it should have

[00:38:13] pushed even weirder.

[00:38:15] Yeah.

[00:38:15] So, if you're going to, thank you.

[00:38:17] So, if you're going to start weird, keep going.

[00:38:20] Yeah.

[00:38:20] Right?

[00:38:21] Escalation, baby.

[00:38:22] Because the Trisha Paytas thing didn't add anything for me.

[00:38:24] So, maybe it was different if it would have added something for us because we knew that

[00:38:27] was or whatever.

[00:38:28] Yeah.

[00:38:28] That is the payoff and it's okay, but I'm 43.

[00:38:32] Did you know who Trisha Paytas was?

[00:38:34] Hashtag boomers.

[00:38:36] Let me just let you in.

[00:38:38] They're not doing that anymore.

[00:38:39] Yeah, they're not using hashtag insults anymore.

[00:38:41] They're not doing a hashtag boomer.

[00:38:43] I promise you.

[00:38:47] All right.

[00:38:48] I had no idea who Trisha Paytas.

[00:38:49] Skibbity toilet.

[00:38:51] Skibbity toilet.

[00:38:52] Caps on, no caps, all caps.

[00:38:54] That's right, fam.

[00:38:57] All right.

[00:38:58] Final sketch of the night.

[00:39:00] A complete unknown red carpet written by Mike Desenzo, James Austin Johnson, and introduced

[00:39:05] me to Jake Nordwin.

[00:39:06] A reporter played by Heidi Gardner interviews Bob Dylan, played by James Austin Johnson,

[00:39:11] and Timothee Chalamet, played by Chloe Fineman, Bruce Springsteen, played by Andrew Smukes,

[00:39:16] and more on the A complete unknown red carpet.

[00:39:21] I feel like this was just a vehicle to get James Austin Johnson's Bob Dylan in his face.

[00:39:27] And I'm not mad about it because that is a hell of a Bob Dylan impression that he did.

[00:39:31] The funniest thing about this to me or the most jarring thing was, oh yeah, that's what

[00:39:37] Bruce Springsteen looks like now.

[00:39:39] Yeah.

[00:39:40] Because I was like, oh, that's not, that doesn't, oh wait, no, that's his look these

[00:39:44] days.

[00:39:45] He's like 78.

[00:39:45] Yeah, but I didn't get it.

[00:39:46] I was like, why?

[00:39:47] That's not, oh no, it is.

[00:39:48] It is.

[00:39:49] I'm old.

[00:39:49] I'm very old.

[00:39:49] Yeah, you're very old.

[00:39:50] Yeah.

[00:39:51] So you like this?

[00:39:52] I thought it was pretty good.

[00:39:54] It's a vehicle for the impression.

[00:39:56] Yes, solid showcase for the impression.

[00:39:58] Hey guys, what impressions are you working on right now?

[00:40:00] Yeah.

[00:40:01] Well, what was the third person that came out?

[00:40:04] Uh, what's, uh, who was it?

[00:40:07] Well, you have Timothee Chalamet played by Chloe Fineman.

[00:40:10] Uh, James Austin Johnson is the Bob Dylan.

[00:40:12] Andrew Smux is Bruce Springsteen.

[00:40:14] There's somebody after Bruce Springsteen.

[00:40:15] Who does Paul Meskel play?

[00:40:16] Oh, it was Bono from YouTube.

[00:40:18] Bono.

[00:40:19] Yeah.

[00:40:19] It was, it was a fun collection of people.

[00:40:21] I also really liked just the random ending of them asking the Gilmore Girls question

[00:40:25] and them having the exact, all three having the exact same answer.

[00:40:28] It was just a funny random thing to do.

[00:40:30] And at least there's a way to end it.

[00:40:32] Yeah.

[00:40:33] Um, but, uh, you know, fuck BuzzFeed.

[00:40:38] And that's our podcast.

[00:40:39] Okay.

[00:40:39] Well, bye everybody.

[00:40:40] Bye.

[00:40:41] All right.

[00:40:41] That is how it ended.

[00:40:42] Everyone would agree.

[00:40:43] Okay, cool.

[00:40:44] And that is, uh, the episode.

[00:40:47] Let's move on to, um, MVP of the night.

[00:40:52] Who was your favorite cast member of the night?

[00:40:56] Ooh.

[00:40:57] Yeah.

[00:40:57] And I, you know, I always think about this at length before the show and definitely don't

[00:41:01] come up with it in the moment.

[00:41:02] So I'm glad that you guys are bearing with me as I clear my throat a little bit and think,

[00:41:06] uh, not that I need to think.

[00:41:08] Um, shit.

[00:41:14] You having a good one?

[00:41:15] Who do you got?

[00:41:16] Who you're looking at?

[00:41:17] You're looking at all the sketches right now, Brad, on your phone.

[00:41:20] Oh, who was in what?

[00:41:20] Who was in what?

[00:41:21] Who was in what?

[00:41:22] You idiot.

[00:41:22] Who was in the sketches?

[00:41:25] Who was in the sketches?

[00:41:28] Uh, you know, I, you know who I am going to give it to actually?

[00:41:30] Who?

[00:41:30] Paul Meskel.

[00:41:32] Oh!

[00:41:32] No, you can't.

[00:41:33] Stop it.

[00:41:34] No, I'm going to.

[00:41:35] No, no.

[00:41:36] Bullshit.

[00:41:37] No, because my, no, because my expectations were zero.

[00:41:39] You're so, you're phoning this in.

[00:41:41] My expectations were zero.

[00:41:43] He's a dramatic actor.

[00:41:44] I wasn't expecting much from him.

[00:41:45] I've never seen him do anything comedic.

[00:41:47] So, seeing him and like come through and do a variety of things.

[00:41:51] He did some impressions.

[00:41:52] He did some weird stuff.

[00:41:53] Uh, he just had a good time and he was good at too.

[00:41:56] He wasn't like one of the best hosts ever, but he did definitely exceed my expectations

[00:42:01] similar in a similar fashion that Charlie XCX did because I didn't have any expectations

[00:42:04] for her either.

[00:42:05] And so, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm going to give it to Paul Meskel.

[00:42:08] I think Paul Meskel came through and I was, I was impressed by him.

[00:42:11] Hmm.

[00:42:13] That's so dumb.

[00:42:14] Oh, it's just dumb because I made a decision and you weren't there for it.

[00:42:17] You know, I'm going to go with Paul Meskel.

[00:42:19] I think that one of the things that I really enjoyed about him.

[00:42:21] That's who I wrote down.

[00:42:21] That's who I wrote down.

[00:42:22] That's who I wrote down before the show.

[00:42:23] I just wanted to let you know.

[00:42:25] Uh, did you have a different opinion, Nate?

[00:42:27] You're not going with Paul Meskel.

[00:42:28] I can't really, the reason I, I would say that I actually do agree with Brad on a lot

[00:42:32] of those points.

[00:42:33] Now that I'm thinking back through, he was in pretty much everything.

[00:42:36] Um, which is, he's the fricking host.

[00:42:38] Well, I know, but like they gave him, sorry.

[00:42:40] They gave him something to do in pretty much everything.

[00:42:43] Some hosts, they just, you're in it, but you're not really doing much.

[00:42:45] Even in the sketches when he was playing the straight man, he had a bit more to do.

[00:42:48] Like in the earring sketch, like he had a lot more to do than just be there.

[00:42:52] You know, like he had to like also get worked up.

[00:42:54] Well, yeah.

[00:42:55] And even in the, um, in the sketch, uh, where he, oh shit.

[00:43:00] Which one?

[00:43:00] Not the earring sketch, but the, not the lawyer sketch.

[00:43:04] The Italian restaurant sketch?

[00:43:06] Yes.

[00:43:06] Where, um, uh, you know, he's getting upset, but he is the straight man.

[00:43:11] He's like, what are we doing here?

[00:43:12] I thought that, but he escalates as well.

[00:43:14] So no, I'll agree with you, Brad.

[00:43:16] He did a great job.

[00:43:17] Yeah.

[00:43:18] That's right.

[00:43:18] Nate.

[00:43:19] Who'd you think, Nate?

[00:43:20] Uh, I'm going to go with Andrew Speaks.

[00:43:22] Well, you're wrong.

[00:43:23] Well, he was that one sketch.

[00:43:25] So I guess, yeah, he was in that one sketch.

[00:43:27] Yep.

[00:43:27] Um, Nate's like, yep.

[00:43:30] Yep.

[00:43:30] Yeah.

[00:43:30] You know, he was, he played Bruce Springsteen too.

[00:43:33] He did play Bruce Springsteen.

[00:43:35] It was either him or James Austin Johnson.

[00:43:37] Cause James Austin Johnson played, uh, Bob Dylan.

[00:43:40] Those were good.

[00:43:40] That's a good parameter to pick your MVP.

[00:43:42] There, there wasn't a good MVP.

[00:43:43] No, it was, it was kind of a scattershot.

[00:43:45] Marcella was in a lot, you know, but yeah, whatever.

[00:43:48] Uh, Heidi Gardner, maybe.

[00:43:49] Um, she's great.

[00:43:50] She had a pretty good episode and she, her sketches weren't the top notch.

[00:43:55] But she was very good in that.

[00:43:56] She had a solid episode.

[00:43:57] So it's hard though.

[00:43:59] I don't know if there was anybody that was just, you know, I, I.

[00:44:01] So Paul Mescal then?

[00:44:03] No.

[00:44:04] Cause I don't think.

[00:44:04] Mescal.

[00:44:05] Mescal.

[00:44:06] But.

[00:44:07] Paul Mescal.

[00:44:07] I'll also give a shout out because again, I don't think she's MVP, but Ashley Padilla

[00:44:11] had a good episode.

[00:44:12] She did have a good episode.

[00:44:13] Yeah.

[00:44:15] Where was Bone Yang really this episode?

[00:44:17] He was the judge.

[00:44:18] Yeah.

[00:44:18] Cool.

[00:44:19] But where else was he?

[00:44:20] He was, uh, one of the pirates probably.

[00:44:22] He was?

[00:44:23] Uh, he was one of the pirates.

[00:44:26] Yep.

[00:44:26] Yes.

[00:44:26] Uh, he was, uh, let's see.

[00:44:29] So he was one of the pirates.

[00:44:31] He was judge Peter Lee.

[00:44:33] He was in gladiator.

[00:44:34] He was a Satoshi Gutman in.

[00:44:36] Oh, that's right.

[00:44:37] Yeah.

[00:44:37] That's right.

[00:44:38] Spotify wrapped.

[00:44:39] All right.

[00:44:39] So do you think they'll bring Satoshi Gutman back for the 50th anniversary special?

[00:44:47] Sketch of the night.

[00:44:48] Yes.

[00:44:49] Uh, for me, it was gladiator to the twosicle.

[00:44:53] I really liked that.

[00:44:54] They poked fun at it.

[00:44:55] I still think that I think earring for me, honestly, it was really, really good.

[00:44:59] Earing was close.

[00:45:00] I just, I just, I thought gladiator to was so well done.

[00:45:03] The songs were very good.

[00:45:03] Production quality was there and everyone was awesome in it.

[00:45:06] So I, I was runner up for me as please don't destroy.

[00:45:09] Cause I think that's a really funny one.

[00:45:10] Yeah.

[00:45:11] The daddy thing is just really funny.

[00:45:13] Um, it surprised me the escalation on that.

[00:45:15] Yeah.

[00:45:15] And it's hard to surprise me now with please don't destroy.

[00:45:18] Um, but I'm with Ben.

[00:45:20] I was going to go with only because I thought that was such a complete sketch from start

[00:45:25] to finish.

[00:45:25] Front to back.

[00:45:26] And the escalation was wonderful.

[00:45:28] Hearing was great.

[00:45:29] They both went all in.

[00:45:30] All the performances were good.

[00:45:31] Thrown around the fricking window.

[00:45:33] So good.

[00:45:33] All right.

[00:45:34] So that's our episode.

[00:45:35] We'd love to hear from you.

[00:45:36] What did you guys think?

[00:45:37] Uh, or what sketch did you think was the best sketch of the night?

[00:45:40] Who did you think was MVP?

[00:45:42] Let us know.

[00:45:43] Um, Brad, what other episodes do we have coming up this, this Christmas?

[00:45:46] We have two more to close out 2024.

[00:45:49] The next one will be hosted by Chris Rock on December 14th.

[00:45:53] Uh, and then after that, we'll be closing out the year with Martin short hosting solo

[00:45:58] for the first time in like 10 or 12 years, something like that.

[00:46:02] The last time he hosted was.

[00:46:03] Is this his five time?

[00:46:05] Uh, I honestly.

[00:46:06] Of like his, I don't know if the count.

[00:46:08] I don't think it is actually.

[00:46:09] I think he's only hosted by himself three times if I remember correctly.

[00:46:11] Okay.

[00:46:12] All right.

[00:46:12] But you can double check that on the SNL wiki.

[00:46:14] A percentage chance.

[00:46:16] Uh, that Steve Martin shows up.

[00:46:18] A hundred percent that he'll be there in the monologue or zero percent.

[00:46:22] He won't even be in the building.

[00:46:23] Steve Martin.

[00:46:24] I feel like it's a 95% that Steve Martin's going to show up.

[00:46:27] Yeah.

[00:46:27] That's fair.

[00:46:28] Yeah.

[00:46:28] Um, so according to this, so do we count when they've co-hosted?

[00:46:34] Yeah.

[00:46:35] So we don't count the, like when, when Martin short and Steve Martin hosted together.

[00:46:40] I don't know if there's any other time when someone has co-hosted with somebody where they've

[00:46:44] also qualified for the five timers and would need it to qualify for the five timers.

[00:46:49] So that's, that's an interesting question.

[00:46:51] And I guess we'll only find out when they could be playing that.

[00:46:54] They would give me a funny bit by the way that they play like on a technicality.

[00:46:57] Yeah.

[00:46:57] Like he's expecting it and they're like, ah, well actually.

[00:47:00] Yeah.

[00:47:00] Actually that'd be a great bit.

[00:47:01] Um, so, so if, so if they count the, the, the double host, then he would be five.

[00:47:06] Okay.

[00:47:07] He's a four timer.

[00:47:08] Um, if it were up to me, I'd say no, I think you have to host it by yourself.

[00:47:12] Wow.

[00:47:12] Just why do you hate Martin short?

[00:47:15] Like every time we bring up Martin short, you hate him.

[00:47:17] No, it's cause I want him to, no.

[00:47:19] He, Brad's Brad famously said, you know what the thing about Martin short?

[00:47:22] He's short on talent.

[00:47:23] I'm sorry.

[00:47:23] You don't want him to come back and host again.

[00:47:25] I didn't say that.

[00:47:26] I like six timers too.

[00:47:27] Yeah.

[00:47:28] Okay.

[00:47:28] Why don't you like six timers?

[00:47:29] We, you still get the, you still get the same amount of Martin short.

[00:47:32] You know who I want to see for five timers?

[00:47:34] Charles Barkley.

[00:47:36] Huh?

[00:47:36] Uh, yeah.

[00:47:37] He's, uh, and then you also were saying that you wanted, uh, Louis CK and James Franco to

[00:47:42] get their five timers.

[00:47:43] Well, they're going to co-host.

[00:47:45] And so it will count.

[00:47:46] Yeah.

[00:47:47] And then Woody Harrelson too.

[00:47:49] Ugh.

[00:47:50] I mean, I'm not sure I'd put Woody Harrelson in the same tier as a James Franco or a Louis

[00:47:55] CK.

[00:47:55] No.

[00:47:56] Wow, Nate.

[00:47:57] Yeesh.

[00:47:57] Sorry, Woody.

[00:47:58] Sorry, Woody.

[00:47:59] But I don't think after this last episode, any of us are that excited about him coming back.

[00:48:04] Yeah.

[00:48:04] No, but I'm also not lumping him in with, I don't know, serial sex offenders.

[00:48:08] Not a great thing.

[00:48:09] Yeah.

[00:48:09] Anti-vaxxers is one thing, but serial sex offender, kind of a different thing, mate.

[00:48:14] So this will be, um, Chris Rock's fourth time hosting, by the way.

[00:48:18] Uh, close.

[00:48:19] But he previously co-hosted with, uh, Woody Goldberg.

[00:48:24] Um, but yeah, so we'll be back in a week after Chris Rock hosts and, uh, hopefully it

[00:48:28] doesn't suck.

[00:48:30] What a great way to end the show.

[00:48:31] Hey, uh, maybe, maybe next time it won't suck.

[00:48:34] Hey, Brad.

[00:48:34] This is a good episode.

[00:48:35] I didn't say this one sucked.

[00:48:36] I just said, hopefully that one doesn't suck.

[00:48:37] You may just make it sound like this one sucks because-

[00:48:40] No, no, just because I don't expect much from Chris Rock these days.

[00:48:42] No, that's fair.

[00:48:43] Brad, um, why don't you tell people where people can find you where you don't write SNL

[00:48:47] write-ups anymore?

[00:48:47] Uh, so I like to go to Taco Bell, um, and I usually get a, uh, uh, cheesy gritty to crunch.

[00:48:52] No, I don't like those that much.

[00:48:53] Uh, I like nachos bel grande and I usually get a grilled cheese steak burrito.

[00:48:57] So sometimes you can catch me in the drive-through there.

[00:48:59] Also, I'm on Twitter at Ethan underscore Anderton, but I've been spending a little more time at Blue Sky.

[00:49:03] Uh, so look up Ethan Anderton on Blue Sky where it's a lot more-

[00:49:06] We're on Blue Sky now.

[00:49:08] Is Go Flix Yourself on Blue Sky or like the Royal Wii on Blue Sky?

[00:49:13] Or, uh, the 10 to 1 podcast because that's what this one is.

[00:49:16] Good.

[00:49:17] You remembered.

[00:49:20] Fastest lips in the West, everybody.

[00:49:21] Well, yeah, they're fast.

[00:49:22] They're not accurate.

[00:49:25] All right, let's wrap it up.

[00:49:25] Did you make a Blue Sky account?

[00:49:27] No, you did this last podcast where you said we're on Blue Sky now and Ben and I were like-

[00:49:32] Well, I said I'm on Blue Sky.

[00:49:33] You said we.

[00:49:34] No, you said we last time.

[00:49:36] We had a photo.

[00:49:37] No, no, no, no.

[00:49:37] Yeah, you said we and it was like, what are you talking about?

[00:49:39] We don't even count.

[00:49:39] Last time, this time I said I'm on Blue Sky.

[00:49:41] I know.

[00:49:41] And then he made the joke.

[00:49:42] What is wrong with you not getting jokes?

[00:49:44] No, but I said me.

[00:49:45] Did your humor bone break?

[00:49:47] Seriously.

[00:49:47] No, I said me.

[00:49:48] No, but Nate said we.

[00:49:50] The escalation of it all.

[00:49:52] What a moron.

[00:49:54] You embarrass us.

[00:49:55] Yeah.

[00:49:55] Yeah.

[00:49:56] You had a better hobby.

[00:49:57] I'm on Blue Sky.

[00:49:58] Ben, where can people find you?

[00:50:00] Behind Brad and Lion at Taco Bell.

[00:50:03] Also behind me in life.

[00:50:05] Yeah, that's true.

[00:50:06] You won't get out of my way.

[00:50:08] All right.

[00:50:09] Hey, do us a favor.

[00:50:23] Thank you to everyone that has already done that and rated us.

[00:50:26] We are one of the top 15 SNL recap and review podcasts in Indiana.

[00:50:32] Sure.

[00:50:36] We can say that with great confidence.

[00:50:37] I literally was like, oh, I mean, that's kind of a thing.

[00:50:41] And then the Indiana thing got me good.

[00:50:42] Good job, buddy.

[00:50:43] You are funnier than Brad.
