Speaker 3: It's really good stuff.
Speaker 1: It's really good stuff.
Speaker 4: It's really good stuff, and it's always Yeah. Obviously, you know,
Speaker 4: I get people come up to me the most about SNL,
Speaker 4: but I want to say people are starting to come
Speaker 4: up to me the most about Shrinking, Like people love
Speaker 4: that show.
Speaker 1: Nice. Nice, You're very goodn't it?
Speaker 2: And you're you're You're right, You're there right from the start,
Speaker 2: You're five minutes in the show. Obviously we can't talk
Speaker 2: about anything that happens in season two sadly, but can
Speaker 2: I ask you or are you sick of talking about it?
Speaker 2: I'm so fascinated by SNL and how it all works,
Speaker 2: and I've now seen it. I had, you know, I
Speaker 2: was a fan of everything, but I came to a
Speaker 2: live recording which I've never seen before, and it really
Speaker 2: it was so exciting, and it was, and it really
Speaker 2: surprised me how small it is.
Speaker 1: Like it's fucking small.
Speaker 2: It's like a small it's like doing an Edinburgh fringe
Speaker 2: play live to millions of people. Like it's a fucking
Speaker 2: rushed chaos. Somehow it all works. And you've had one
Speaker 2: day of rehearsing I guess or however, and you're doing
Speaker 2: that repeatedly weekly and you don't know, like you're one
Speaker 2: of the kind of main people I think, but you
Speaker 2: also don't know if you're going to be in it
Speaker 2: every week, and sometimes you're in it loads and sometimes
Speaker 2: you're not in it, and what's your mental game?
Speaker 1: How do you cope with all that?
Speaker 2: So I think that's a pretty hardcore way of living
Speaker 2: and fun, I'm sure, but I'll say no, yeah, tell me, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It has been you know.
Speaker 4: I wish I could say that, you know, I just
Speaker 4: walked in and adapted and no fear and all those things.
Speaker 4: But it's taken every year that I've been there to
Speaker 4: get my mental state to the right place. And in
Speaker 4: the last two years, I've definitely felt the most comfortable
Speaker 4: ever and that actually makes me excited. It's just like
Speaker 4: the more I'm in this space, this room, the more
Speaker 4: I mean, I just heard a quote today that was like,
Speaker 4: it takes you five years to like get used to
Speaker 4: a house or even a room, like, okay, then maybe
Speaker 4: it takes you like ten.
Speaker 3: Years to get used to SNL.
Speaker 2: I'm not there yet, But how long have you been
Speaker 2: on it? How many years have you.
Speaker 3: Done I'll be going into my eighth season.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, wow, yeah yeah Jesus so yeah.
Speaker 4: But you just you just start to trust the process
Speaker 4: us more and be you know, everything was like I
Speaker 4: was holding on to it so tight, and everything was
Speaker 4: like so fragile and it could break and who knows
Speaker 4: if they'd ask me back and all these things, and like,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously it's not.
Speaker 3: Good to be tight in comedy.
Speaker 4: And when I finally just started to be like, I
Speaker 4: think the producers like me, I think the rest of
Speaker 4: the cast likes me. And then if I could just
Speaker 4: accept that maybe some.
Speaker 3: Of the world does. Like all I'm.
Speaker 4: Trying to do really is just like entertain them. Like
Speaker 4: let's let's just like take the pressure off and that
Speaker 4: has fun.
Speaker 2: It that's great and you're you you from my brief
Speaker 2: interactions with the cast, it does seem like a pretty well,
Speaker 2: I could be complete, right.
Speaker 1: It seems like a good vibe.
Speaker 2: It seems like you you will get on and supportive
Speaker 2: of each other, because I've always had versions of the
Speaker 2: S and L cast that are competitive and jealous and stuff,
Speaker 2: and I imagine that's difficult as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 4: You also take that also takes time. It's like we
Speaker 4: all have an ego. We're all a little bit selfish.
Speaker 4: We all think we're genies is with our writing and performing,
Speaker 4: and we want to do our thing and show it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and guess what everyone else you work with is also
Speaker 4: that good and they need the screen time too, and
Speaker 4: the host does as well, and so does the musical guest.
Speaker 3: And so does we get update.
Speaker 4: There's only an ity bit bit of time and you
Speaker 4: can't take it all up every week. So just accepting
Speaker 4: that and has also felt good. It's like and also,
Speaker 4: I remember this probably will sound like I'm just trying
Speaker 4: to like give myself.
Speaker 3: A pep talk.
Speaker 4: But sometimes sometimes your favorite cast members, like when you
Speaker 4: don't see them for a little while and then they
Speaker 4: pop in, it's like it's like a Christmas present.
Speaker 3: You're just like, oh my god, this sketch.
Speaker 4: This one thing like that was so good and they
Speaker 4: killed it and like you get that like little taste.
Speaker 4: It's like before we had so much social media that
Speaker 4: we could look up anything at any time. It's like, oh,
Speaker 4: I just got a hit of that person and that
Speaker 4: feels good. And I don't need them in every single
Speaker 4: sketch because they don't do every single thing, you know,
Speaker 4: so sometimes it's good just to be a bite size
Speaker 4: Snickers and a full size episode, you know, like you're
Speaker 4: just you pop in, you get a big laugh, people
Speaker 4: remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And also this has been something too. It's like, you know,
Speaker 4: you were just saying you come to the show. I
Speaker 4: have like lots of friends and family who of course
Speaker 4: want to come see a show, and if they're not
Speaker 4: in tickets, they're in your dressing room.
Speaker 3: And you know, my first couple of years, if you're.
Speaker 4: Not in the show, and then it's like all your
Speaker 4: loved ones are in your dressing room and you're kind
Speaker 4: of like, you don't know, like should I just sit
Speaker 4: in here? Should I admit I'm not in it? Like
Speaker 4: it was very uncomfortable. But the last year, especially last year,
Speaker 4: I've got my two friends Anna and Matt who come
Speaker 4: to like every single show. They kind of just run
Speaker 4: my dressing room for me, like they welcome everybody.
Speaker 3: And then I start to look around and I'm like, Okay, hey,
Speaker 3: this is cool.
Speaker 4: You work at SNL, some of your best friends are here,
Speaker 4: family's visiting, or just like somebody else's random family who's
Speaker 4: friendly to you.
Speaker 3: Everyone loves you.
Speaker 4: You can just sit in here and watch the show
Speaker 4: with people that you were safe and loved by, and
Speaker 4: it's okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is just cool. It's like it's it's
Speaker 2: a cool place to be for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other two questions I want to ask you one
Speaker 2: is like every week, are you like, fuck, I got
Speaker 2: to come up with something new? Or do you have
Speaker 2: Do you find it easier the more you do it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Is it do you have a sort of system? Is
Speaker 2: there any way you do you do a thing that
Speaker 2: helps you generate stuff? Or is it random? Every time?
Speaker 4: It's kind of random going into this season lately, I
Speaker 4: mean I say this, it's been a day and a half.
Speaker 4: I've been off my phone a lot more good. I
Speaker 4: seem to think that in that day and a half,
Speaker 4: I've had more ideas and I've been here because usually
Speaker 4: my crutches, like on Mondays, we have to think of
Speaker 4: a pitch that we just a joke pitch to pitch
Speaker 4: to the host, and it's like you can't think of anything,
Speaker 4: and so you just eventually pull out your phone and
Speaker 4: start scrolling just the news and like this will jar
Speaker 4: something in my brain and I can make a joke
Speaker 4: from that, and just this day and a half off
Speaker 4: my phone, I'm kind of like, I'm just gonna let
Speaker 4: my own brain do it. This season, I'm really gonna
Speaker 4: not use the phone, but I will say there was
Speaker 4: a certain I feel like years three and four writing wise,
Speaker 4: for me, I feel like I was just on fire.
Speaker 4: I always knew what I wanted to write. That does
Speaker 4: not mean I was on fire on the show, like
Speaker 4: almost every one of those sketches got cut.
Speaker 3: But I was just like hungry as shit.
Speaker 4: And sometimes now where I've just been there longer and
Speaker 4: anxiety is not like coursing through my veins all the time,
Speaker 4: and I can trust that if I don't have an idea,
Speaker 4: a writer will have one. And it's okay. I don't
Speaker 4: have to try that hard. I can work hard, but
Speaker 4: I just don't have to force things. But I have
Speaker 4: been like, man, I'm mad that like those two years
Speaker 4: when I found like production wise, I was on fire
Speaker 4: that like no one actually liked.
Speaker 3: It, But yeah, that's how it goes.
Speaker 1: And what about do you get nervous?
Speaker 2: Like do you have a I'm always interested in people's
Speaker 2: like rituals before a shay. Do you have a thing
Speaker 2: you have to do every time? Or do you just
Speaker 2: do you get nervous to get used to it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely get nervous.
Speaker 4: But being the like midwesterner people pleaser, I get the
Speaker 4: same feeling that I got the first time I ever
Speaker 4: performed in any sort of comedy show, which was like
Speaker 4: in a growlings class. I was in writing lab where
Speaker 4: we had to perform a monologue, and I remember being
Speaker 4: backstage my job. I was a hairstylist. I was about
Speaker 4: to walk out onto a stage in the dark and
Speaker 4: lights would be up on just me doing a character
Speaker 4: who was also like a young girl, and I was
Speaker 4: like in my twenties, and I had this moment that
Speaker 4: was like.
Speaker 3: What did you just do?
Speaker 4: Like you are you really think you're gonna walk out
Speaker 4: there and do a monologue Like I don't know if
Speaker 4: we even remember it. Heidi, and then they announced me
Speaker 4: whatever my character's name was, and I was like, well,
Speaker 4: they paid.
Speaker 3: So you have to go.
Speaker 4: Actually, I don't even think they paid money for that.
Speaker 4: It was like a student show. It's free, but there's
Speaker 4: people in this.
Speaker 1: There have to go.
Speaker 3: And so that's what I think with SNL. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you have to go.
Speaker 2: There are people do it right, You've got you've got
Speaker 2: a threatening coach in your head.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: That's nice, And I'm sure you've talked about this a lot,
Speaker 2: but it's interesting. How do you get from hairstylistic like
Speaker 2: what we like secretly I'm talking funny?
Speaker 1: Did you always want to do this or was it late?
Speaker 3: Like, No, I was funny.
Speaker 4: I knew I was funny and my group of friends
Speaker 4: and I knew that I knew a lot about pop
Speaker 4: culture and movies and I was just always the one
Speaker 4: quoting everything and I was really good at print calls.
Speaker 3: But there was no path, no journey.
Speaker 4: Somehow, though I did end up in LA doing hair
Speaker 4: and makeup.
Speaker 1: Well on shows on TV shows.
Speaker 4: It started that way, but then I was like, was
Speaker 4: only getting credit and not making money yet I wasn't
Speaker 4: in the union, so I was like, I kind of
Speaker 4: need to pay rent. So I started working at a
Speaker 4: salon and I went to go see a show at
Speaker 4: the ground LANs because a friend of mine I had
Speaker 4: made a new friend, and they were in the Groundlings
Speaker 4: and I had heard of it. I knew what the
Speaker 4: Groundlings was, and I was like, that is the funniest
Speaker 4: thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: After the show, I told my friend.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is awesome because now when my
Speaker 4: family from Missouri comes in town, I always have something
Speaker 4: for people to do. Go see the Groundlings. And she
Speaker 4: was like, also, I think you should take a class.
Speaker 4: And I was like what, And then I told my
Speaker 4: older brother and some other loved ones like that. She
Speaker 4: said that, and my brother said, I have been waiting
Speaker 4: for you to say that, like our whole life.
Speaker 3: I'll pay for the class.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, that's so nice. I forgot to
Speaker 2: tell you something, and now I feel bad about it.
Speaker 2: I should have told you Eli when we were the
Speaker 2: headphones and stuff. No, fuck, you just say you've died
Speaker 2: dead dead dead dead Okay okay, yeah, okay, okay, how
Speaker 2: did you die?
Speaker 4: I died at Banister Mall in Kansas City, which was
Speaker 4: torn down but has to be rebuilt.
Speaker 3: So I may die in it.
Speaker 4: Okay, is thriving, beautiful, two level mall, lots of escalators.
Speaker 4: And I have shopped so hard at the mall, at
Speaker 4: all my favorite stores, getting everything I could ever want,
Speaker 4: dream girl clothes and accessories and everything that I don't
Speaker 4: shop till I drop because I feel like that would
Speaker 4: be a painful death, and maybe a younger version of
Speaker 4: me would be cool with that. But I think I'm
Speaker 4: shopping so hard and so late that the mall closes
Speaker 4: and they don't realize I'm still in there, and and
Speaker 4: I just slowly fall asleep in Merry Go Round, the
Speaker 4: store that I used to really love.
Speaker 1: What does Marry Go Around?
Speaker 4: So they sell like like stuff like Kelly Kabowski would wear.
Speaker 3: On, say by the Bell, just cool girl.
Speaker 4: And I just fall asleep and Marry Go Around and
Speaker 4: it's like some unknown cause that has taken me, but
Speaker 4: you know we find her peacefully.
Speaker 2: No, it was cover moent oxide poisoning. Okay, So do
Speaker 2: you do you coverment oxide poisoning?
Speaker 1: In Mary? Do you worry about death?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, like probably in life's best moments where I'm like,
Speaker 4: oh I don't want to die now because things are
Speaker 4: going good or I'm happier, like I.
Speaker 3: Like this person or things like that. You know, I
Speaker 3: guess being.
Speaker 4: Totally vulnerable because I guess it's hard to just think
Speaker 4: about death.
Speaker 3: I want to say to you, like.
Speaker 4: No, I don't, but yeah I do. And it is
Speaker 4: a hard, harsh reality. I lost a cat this year,
Speaker 4: and that is really thank you, my cat, Marshall, and
Speaker 4: he was with me for eighteen years, gave me eighteen years.
Speaker 1: And that's really good. Yeah, that's really really good.
Speaker 3: You're just not here anymore.
Speaker 4: But I can still feel him, and I know exactly
Speaker 4: what he would feel like, just in the.
Speaker 3: Crook of my arm right now. So I think about
Speaker 3: the death of my catalot.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. That's really sad. What do you think
Speaker 2: happens when you die? Do you think there's enough to life?
Speaker 4: You know? I wasn't raised religious, and I'm spiritual in
Speaker 4: the way of like I will try anything if you
Speaker 4: tell me Caro or angelic, Heleen or anything that might
Speaker 4: feel good.
Speaker 3: I guess I can't.
Speaker 4: It's like I haven't gotten enough knowledge to really make
Speaker 4: a case for that afterlife. I find that hard to believe,
Speaker 4: and I don't believe in ghosts, but I want to
Speaker 4: keep going, so I'm going to have to justify something
Speaker 4: for myself.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I got good news for you. There's a
Speaker 2: heaven and you're welcome there, and it's filled with your
Speaker 2: favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 3: I mean cats?
Speaker 1: Okay, man, it's cat heaven. There's fucking cats everywhere.
Speaker 2: It's so great, big cats, little cats. Yes, yes, cat,
Speaker 2: it's a cat heaven. And all the cats so excited
Speaker 2: to see you. They're all lovely cats. They want to
Speaker 2: They're all up, cuddles everything. They're really good cats.
Speaker 3: Love it.
Speaker 2: But they won't know about your life because they, you know, inquisitive, curious.
Speaker 2: It's famously curious cats, and they want to know about
Speaker 2: your life through film. And the first thing they ask
Speaker 2: you is, what's the first film you remember seeing? Hidergardener?
Speaker 3: Space Balls?
Speaker 2: Fucking hell? What a great great opener. That's why you're funny. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you see that at the cinema on the telly?
Speaker 1: I guess on the telly.
Speaker 3: It was on the.
Speaker 4: Telly, and I remember my parents showing it to me.
Speaker 4: And my parents divorced when I was like five and
Speaker 4: a half six is when it finally ended. And this
Speaker 4: was just a movie that I remember seeing with my
Speaker 4: two parents when they were still together and my older brother, Justin,
Speaker 4: my younger brother hadn't come along yet.
Speaker 1: Is there three of you together, three of us all together? Okay?
Speaker 2: And Justin's the one he was waiting for you to
Speaker 2: find comedy?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, love it.
Speaker 4: And the scene where the alien pops out of the
Speaker 4: stomach and sings, hello, my baby, Hello, my godl And
Speaker 4: that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.
Speaker 3: In my life, you know, laughed so much.
Speaker 4: And then for years after that, I was aware kind
Speaker 4: of of Star Wars, but I thought Star Wars was
Speaker 4: ripping Spaceballs, like because I saw space Balls first, So it.
Speaker 1: Was just that's great.
Speaker 2: I was very confused they took out all the jokes
Speaker 2: and I think, yeah, I don't going to know this.
Speaker 1: H that's very funny.
Speaker 2: What about crying? Are you a crier? What's the film
Speaker 2: that made you cry the most?
Speaker 3: Okay? So Steele Magnolias.
Speaker 4: When Jesus Maeln Sally Field loses shelby her daughter Julia Roberts,
Speaker 4: it has to decide to take her off life support.
Speaker 4: I mean that's probably the first time I knew life
Speaker 4: support was a thing. Yeah, so that's just sad and
Speaker 4: anyone would cry.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But and the dendem to this point.
Speaker 4: Is, I mean, I don't know how long I believe
Speaker 4: this long enough to win steel Magnolias came out, so
Speaker 4: I was at least six, and maybe I was naive
Speaker 4: during the divorce or something like that.
Speaker 3: I thought when you die in a movie, you.
Speaker 2: Died like in a dream. Like when people say if
Speaker 2: you dine in a dream, you're dead.
Speaker 1: You die in a movie. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I thought people didn't want to live, they chose to die.
Speaker 4: So like, especially if you were shot in a movie.
Speaker 4: I didn't under stand that with special effects. I'm like,
Speaker 4: they're gone and steal mygnoyas. I remember really confusing me
Speaker 4: because I was like, she didn't get shot like this.
Speaker 4: I think she had diabetes, which my grandpa had and
Speaker 4: then it leads to like kidney fail.
Speaker 3: So I was like, she went through all of this
Speaker 3: on camera.
Speaker 4: Pretty woman, okay, because I knew that, and I knew
Speaker 4: that I loved her. And then I remember saying to
Speaker 4: my brother, like he brought up Julia Roberts and I
Speaker 4: was like suck, She's.
Speaker 3: Gone you like goddress And he was like, no, she's
Speaker 3: very much alive.
Speaker 4: And then he had to explained to me, like, you
Speaker 4: don't choose to take your own life in a movie.
Speaker 2: So just to understand the logic of it, it wasn't
Speaker 2: that Julia roberts had diabetes in Kidney Fair or whatever.
Speaker 2: It was that Julia roberts the actor, decided it's time
Speaker 2: for me to go, So I'll do this part where
Speaker 2: I die, and I will die, yes, but.
Speaker 4: I will say double whammy because I was in it
Speaker 4: with the movie and I was experiencing the drama of
Speaker 4: the movie and what was happening there, and then I.
Speaker 3: Had the real estay. Julia Robertson just died.
Speaker 2: And yeah, so people getting shot, they're like, do you
Speaker 2: want to part in this film?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get.
Speaker 2: Shot, I'm going to die, but I get to be
Speaker 2: in this western Yeah, segod bye to your family and
Speaker 2: then we'll see you on set. That's how you thought films.
Speaker 3: But like I knew that, like that Alien and Spaceballs, didn't.
Speaker 3: I knew that wasn't real. Like I knew that didn't.
Speaker 2: Actually like that, but yeah, interesting, all right, what about
Speaker 2: being scared.
Speaker 1: Do you like being scared? What's the film that scared
Speaker 1: you the most?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do like being scared, and you're just catching
Speaker 3: me on the.
Speaker 4: Tail end of I watched Long Legs last night, and
Speaker 4: I like being scared. But I did have I just
Speaker 4: had Long Legs dreams the entire.
Speaker 1: Night, and yeah, so love that.
Speaker 4: The first time I remember being scared was we would
Speaker 4: go to Blockbuster, Justin and I.
Speaker 3: Our grandma, our mammo is what we called it. She
Speaker 3: would take us to Blockbuster.
Speaker 4: We would rent two videos, and the first one would
Speaker 4: be one that we would watch together at like the
Speaker 4: appropriate time for younger me, like seven o'clock. I'm supposed
Speaker 4: to go to bed at nine, and then he would
Speaker 4: watch he's six years older, his more late night movie.
Speaker 4: But we both slept in the living room, and so
Speaker 4: I would just like open my eyes and watch what
Speaker 4: was ever was going on?
Speaker 3: So mind you.
Speaker 4: Very early I had seen Clockwork Orange, and I just
Speaker 4: don't think. I won't even say that that movie was
Speaker 4: scary to me because it was just too much.
Speaker 3: I didn't know what was going on. My brain little
Speaker 3: brain didn't absorb.
Speaker 4: But I was always excited for what his second pick
Speaker 4: was even if it was a scary movie like Waxworks
Speaker 4: or whatever.
Speaker 3: I didn't care.
Speaker 4: He had done Nightmare on Elm Street, and I just
Speaker 4: thought Freddy Krueger was a badass.
Speaker 3: And free Keith.
Speaker 4: There was one movie that I was like, please don't
Speaker 4: make this the nine o'clock pick, and that was hell Eraser,
Speaker 4: and I promised myself to not open my eyes, and
Speaker 4: I opened my eyes while he was watching it. And
Speaker 4: still to this day, pin head like someone who chooses.
Speaker 4: I don't know if Penn had made the choice, but
Speaker 4: pretty much so. To have nails in his whole head, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: is the scariest thing, and to you know, hooks and
Speaker 4: flesh and pleasure and pain and even the box like terrifying,
Speaker 4: scariest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: That's a great answer. Yeah, that's so. The thing that
Speaker 2: scared you wasn't the look of him with pins in
Speaker 2: his head. Is the fact that he tries to have pins.
Speaker 1: It is dead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm forgetting like the origin, but I do
Speaker 4: feel like the Cenobytes have a bit of control over
Speaker 4: their look, whereas I don't. I don't think Freddy had
Speaker 4: control over.
Speaker 1: No, he didn't choose to get burned. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, the cenobytes want this because pleasure is pain.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's very good and it has never
Speaker 2: come up on this podcast. So I'm gonna give you
Speaker 2: ten points. Jesus Christ, what is the film that you love?
Speaker 2: People don't like it, particularly critics, but you love it unconditionally.
Speaker 2: What is that film? Nothing but Trouble with Dan at
Speaker 2: Kroid Yes and.
Speaker 3: John Candy, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore.
Speaker 1: I've seen nothing wrong with that good ship.
Speaker 3: You know, universally panned.
Speaker 1: I probably watch it spies.
Speaker 3: No, they're not spies, like you know. The setup is odd.
Speaker 4: Chevy Chase is a banker, and Demi Moore is I
Speaker 4: don't know something with a home loan. I mean, I
Speaker 4: just watched it recently because it's definitely a one or
Speaker 4: two times a year watch for me. And still the
Speaker 4: first fifteen minutes until they get to like Trancel Vanya
Speaker 4: or whatever it is, where every all the shit goes down,
Speaker 4: the plot is so hard to follow.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, this is too complicated.
Speaker 4: Just get to when dan Akrod has like the penis nose,
Speaker 4: and but I can say, like, yeah, this this is
Speaker 4: like a bad movie. Like dan Akroyd's like that, you know,
Speaker 4: one of those babies in the Junkyard. But I keep
Speaker 4: showing it to people and introducing it to people. I
Speaker 4: have the vhs in my dressing room at work. I
Speaker 4: watch it. I like, I like it.
Speaker 1: I just like that.
Speaker 2: And do you think you like it because of seeing
Speaker 2: it when you were little or something? Does it does
Speaker 2: it feel like home or something?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It definitely feels like home and it but it's like
Speaker 4: I now as an adult, I appreciate, like the special effects,
Speaker 4: like the I'm gonna I almost said, like how the
Speaker 4: house is like a Ruth Vader Ginsburg trap, But that's
Speaker 4: not it's rude.
Speaker 2: That is the second thing she was famous for. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the traps that she would set.
Speaker 1: I know what you mean.
Speaker 2: You mean like they're so mass trap Yeah, the go
Speaker 2: big Yeah, yes, like all of that.
Speaker 3: I'm just like the set design, this is incredible.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, but you you just come up with a
Speaker 2: sketch for your next season wreath traps?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Nice answer.
Speaker 2: What about a film that you used to love but
Speaker 2: you've seen recently and you do not like it anymore?
Speaker 3: Hocus Pocus?
Speaker 4: And I think people are like maybe more Gaga for
Speaker 4: Hocus Pocus now even from before or it's just been beloved,
Speaker 4: but it's definitely kind of found its second wind and
Speaker 4: like the last year of appreciation.
Speaker 3: And I went back and I was like, I'm not laughing.
Speaker 4: I'm not wanting to be one of these witches. I'm
Speaker 4: not wanting to be the kid. I'm not wanting to
Speaker 4: be the cat. I'm just not into it.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, yeah, but I think that that film is
Speaker 2: probably nothing but trouble to other people, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Yeah, I think there are people that feel
Speaker 2: that way for it. Tell me this, what is the
Speaker 2: film that means the most to you? Not necessarily the
Speaker 2: film itself is good, but because the experience you had
Speaker 2: around seeing it will always make it special to you.
Speaker 3: Okay, that film is kids?
Speaker 1: Fuck it? Oh go ahead, Okay, So just.
Speaker 4: To set this up, once my parents got divorced, my
Speaker 4: mom was like super into indie film. So even when
Speaker 4: I was little, I was allowed to see things like
Speaker 4: The Crying Game like it. She was open to a
Speaker 4: lot of things and just knew that, like my brother
Speaker 4: and I were so into movies. But in ninety four,
Speaker 4: it's just a little bit of a lead up. Interview
Speaker 4: with a Vampire was coming out, and I was like,
Speaker 4: this is everything Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunce, Antonio Bandarris,
Speaker 4: and Rice novel.
Speaker 3: This is the coolest, and she would not let me
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 4: Like it took maybe two months of it being like
Speaker 4: the last weekend it was in the theater. I had
Speaker 4: to write her like a special card. I remember I
Speaker 4: got high. I don't know what the mindset was here,
Speaker 4: but we're studying Egypt in school and I spelled in hieroglyphics.
Speaker 4: Can I please go see an interview with a vampire?
Speaker 4: And that's what broke her and I got to go
Speaker 4: see interview with vampire. So this is just to say, like,
Speaker 4: you know, she did have some boundaries. So after that
Speaker 4: I kind of knew not to push it. And you know,
Speaker 4: a year six months later, kids came out and I
Speaker 4: was definitely curious, but I was like, that's an obvious
Speaker 4: no if mom's pc interviews with a vampire, so I'll
Speaker 4: just see that when I'm an adult, because I think
Speaker 4: I was in sixth grade. So Friday, I get off school,
Speaker 4: my mom picks me up. I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: And she was like going to the movies. We're going
Speaker 4: to the Tivoli, which is like the indie movie theater.
Speaker 4: And I was kind of only aware that kids was
Speaker 4: coming out this weekend and I'm like, well, surely not,
Speaker 4: and she just like walks us into kids and two
Speaker 4: tickets for kids. I don't know what's going on. I'm like,
Speaker 4: feel like I'm getting away with murder.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm silent, I don't get candy. I'm just like, why
Speaker 4: is this happening? What is going on? Like did I
Speaker 4: win the lottery? We watch kids. I'm definitely too young
Speaker 4: for it. I'm not as kids as those kids. I'm
Speaker 4: in shock and we're walking out. I'm still in shock.
Speaker 4: And I remember just looking over to her about to
Speaker 4: be like, so, explain this to me, and she just
Speaker 4: said to me. I looked at her and she said
Speaker 4: do you want to be like that? And I was
Speaker 4: like no, and she was like good, And it was
Speaker 4: like it was her.
Speaker 1: Like scared, Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: Her moment like taking me to see kids?
Speaker 1: Had she seen it? Had she seen it? Did she
Speaker 1: know what?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 4: She was probably even like was this the right lesson?
Speaker 4: But I mean I got to walk into school that Monday,
Speaker 4: like feeling really fucking cool.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sucking out And I guess it worked, right, You
Speaker 2: didn't you didn't start being people that were skateboards and
Speaker 2: yeah I sex, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Didn't do that, didn't do drugs, I did none of
Speaker 3: those things. If it worked.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Larry clak Well.
Speaker 2: Wow, given that you which I really liked, you were like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be these people. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be the witches. I don't want to be the kid.
Speaker 2: What is the film you most relate to?
Speaker 3: Oh, Mermaids.
Speaker 1: I fucking love Mermaids.
Speaker 3: That never get made today. I just like always say
Speaker 3: that just.
Speaker 4: A simple story, simple like in quotes, just about a
Speaker 4: woman and her kids and moving and dating and that's it.
Speaker 3: Some other people. Yeah, but yeahs incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah who are you? And that the kid?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say it's like probably when I saw it,
Speaker 4: I was in between the age of Christina Ricci and
Speaker 4: one on a writer, and I like was not on
Speaker 4: swim team or a really good little swimmer like Christina Ricci,
Speaker 4: and I wasn't like potentially gonna like hook up with
Speaker 4: the guy from sixteen Candles, like, but I did have
Speaker 4: a mom, who was beautiful and dating and was you know,
Speaker 4: just intercepting her life and knowing what was going on
Speaker 4: and seeing her work really hard for me and my
Speaker 4: brother and still try to have a life. I was,
Speaker 4: I like to say, now, I was on her ride,
Speaker 4: and I felt like the girls in that movie were
Speaker 4: on their mom's ride. And sometimes you can think, like,
Speaker 4: as an adult, you could be like, I don't know
Speaker 4: that I should have.
Speaker 3: Been, you know, on my mom's ride.
Speaker 4: You know, like that could be irresponsible, But I'm like
Speaker 4: it was pretty exciting too.
Speaker 2: That's fucking great. Well, great answer. I'm giving you twenty
Speaker 2: points for that. What's the sexiest film you've ever seen? Nidygardna?
Speaker 3: Okay, well I kind of did this from that brain too,
Speaker 3: is that okay? Do you want?
Speaker 4: Like I remember and there's like little levels of this,
Speaker 4: But Dick Tracy, I thought it was really sexy because
Speaker 4: you know, I knew Warren Baby and Madonna were together
Speaker 4: or maybe that kind of led to it. And you know,
Speaker 4: even when she's in that black dress, she's like basically
Speaker 4: naked and there's like heat between them.
Speaker 3: But the kid in the movie, Charlie.
Speaker 4: Chorismo, And I can say this because at the time,
Speaker 4: I was age appropriate. I was in the same age
Speaker 4: as him. I remember like, oh, I want to kiss
Speaker 4: that boy that like felt different. Yeah, and then I
Speaker 4: think William Worth's Scythe in that movie as flat Top,
Speaker 4: which is one of the bad guys who looks everyone
Speaker 4: else would say is like deformed, disfigured.
Speaker 3: Just looked like a cool badass.
Speaker 4: It was like he had like a look that was
Speaker 4: just confident even though he looked different. And like, I
Speaker 4: think that started me even being like this is obvious
Speaker 4: to say, but like attracted to the joker or like
Speaker 4: it was just like ooh, these like bad guys there
Speaker 4: was something wrong with their mouth or their head or yeah.
Speaker 1: It's actually have you ended up with people with strange heads?
Speaker 4: M No, never a strange head or a strange smile,
Speaker 4: trying to think anything strange.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's my type.
Speaker 1: It's about time you with someone with a strange head.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like you've wasted.
Speaker 2: There's a sub category troubling is worrying why dones? Okay,
Speaker 2: you found a rousing that you weren't sure you should.
Speaker 4: There's a callback and people aren't gonna like it. But
Speaker 4: in nothing but trouble Yeah, there's a scene where the
Speaker 4: scene is headed by Daniel Baldwin and some other party
Speaker 4: growers driving down the highway going really fast partying and
Speaker 4: they get pulled over taken to Transylvania. But I think
Speaker 4: when they have to like put all of their substances
Speaker 4: on the judge's desk, like you can tell like there's.
Speaker 3: Like needles and coke and and like.
Speaker 4: I said that like earlier, like all the girls are
Speaker 4: like dressed like Kelly Kapowski and Daniel Balden got his
Speaker 4: hair slipped back, and you just I just remember knowing
Speaker 4: they're going to do drugs and like have sex and
Speaker 4: like that's sexy. And then they end up going through
Speaker 4: this like roller coaster called like the bone Crusher and
Speaker 4: like getting stripped of their skin and they just come
Speaker 4: out bone. So they didn't get to do what I
Speaker 4: was fining.
Speaker 2: But I was like, ooh, was this before you saw
Speaker 2: kids or to kid? Yes, so you saw so basically
Speaker 2: every trouble was trouble for you because then you were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do I'm going to have sex with
Speaker 2: square heads and do drugs, and then you saw kids
Speaker 2: and you were like, I'm never having sex with anyone,
Speaker 2: and I'm never doing drugs and no, thank you.
Speaker 4: It seems like I was getting turned on by things
Speaker 4: that also had like a level of prosthetics or something.
Speaker 3: And then when I saw kids that looked like me,
Speaker 3: I was like.
Speaker 2: You are you are on SNL when everyone has prosthetics
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you think I'd be horny all the time
Speaker 4: and I'm.
Speaker 2: Just professionally, Yeah, I think you'd be just kissing everyone
Speaker 2: and every single sketch with these flat heads square heads
Speaker 2: come and you love it there, Jesus, after party must
Speaker 2: be a mess. What is objectively the greatest film of
Speaker 2: all time?
Speaker 3: Parenthood?
Speaker 2: What an excellent answer. You're getting forty points for that,
Speaker 2: thank you? What a brilliant film. Tell me why that
Speaker 2: is the greatest film. I'm not saying you're wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say find me a better cast, like
Speaker 4: just as far as an ensemble goes. And I've seen
Speaker 4: it so much that I also like a movie where
Speaker 4: either the younger you are when you see it or
Speaker 4: the older you are, like who your favorite person is
Speaker 4: and who two the most like changes throughout the course.
Speaker 4: So like I see it when I'm a kid, and
Speaker 4: it's like, well, Steve Martin's the funniest person in the world.
Speaker 4: And when he does Cowboy Gil, I wish that was
Speaker 4: my dad and he's so funny. But then I start
Speaker 4: to get a crush on Keanu Reeves and it's like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, like you know, he's in his underwear
Speaker 4: and that scene and then and then also the greatest
Speaker 4: on screen loser to me ever is Uncle Larry, like
Speaker 4: the guy who names his son Cool and is always like,
Speaker 4: you know, trying to pitch like a business and gets
Speaker 4: dropped off by his friends, by them throwing him out
Speaker 4: the car and him rolling on the street.
Speaker 3: Like just everyone nails in that movie. Diane West.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just the older I get, I just relate
Speaker 4: to people more and more and it's funny.
Speaker 3: And also I just think like, how did they pull
Speaker 3: this off?
Speaker 4: Like every there's not a story in that movie, a
Speaker 4: storyline that doesn't get wrapped up in a bow, whether
Speaker 4: it's satisfying or not, or makes you cry or is
Speaker 4: tragic or just life like Uncle Larry does disappear again
Speaker 4: and the grandparents have to raise Cool.
Speaker 3: And that was something where I was like.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, there's moments of that feel familiar even as
Speaker 4: a kid, you know, like, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, it's fantastic, parent It's so beautiful, and it
Speaker 2: does have an awful lot going on in it. I
Speaker 2: haven't watched the TV show, but I hear it's wonderful,
Speaker 2: and you think there's probably a season's worth of storylines
Speaker 2: in that one film. But it doesn't feel totally rush
Speaker 2: to episodic of God damn, that's good. And it's the
Speaker 2: people that write city Slickers, I believe right, and city Slickers.
Speaker 2: I think it is one of the great I think
Speaker 2: so too in it in the same feeling similar way. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: hard to do. Ensemble love it.
Speaker 3: Thank you me too.
Speaker 1: You're very good at.
Speaker 2: This, Hidigardner, what's the what's the film you could or
Speaker 2: have watched the most over and over again.
Speaker 1: If it's not nothing but trouble.
Speaker 3: It's not. It's Boomerang. Love boom right, I love Boomerang.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That was one of those lucky ones that, yes, we
Speaker 4: would rent it all the time from Blockbuster at the
Speaker 4: grocery store, but we almost didn't need to because our
Speaker 4: local television stations Channel forty one and sixty two played
Speaker 4: it just as much. And then when I was at friends'
Speaker 4: houses who had cable and had HBO. It was also
Speaker 4: like Boomerang was booming on HBO, like it was just on.
Speaker 4: And I felt every time like if I was religious,
Speaker 4: God was looking down and being like, I'm giving you
Speaker 4: this movie and.
Speaker 3: I'm giving you another.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you Boo.
Speaker 4: Same thing with an ensemble, just you know, Eddie Murphy,
Speaker 4: Martin Lawrence, David Allen Greer, Johnny Witherspoon with like the
Speaker 4: mushroom belt, so many quotable lines, and that was just
Speaker 4: what my childhood was, was quoting. And it also taught me.
Speaker 4: There's a scene in the beginning just where Martin Lawrence,
Speaker 4: Eddie Murphy, and David Allen Greer are out to lunch
Speaker 4: and there's this one waitress. She's a white woman who's
Speaker 4: just doing a great white woman impression, who's telling about
Speaker 4: the special and she's talking about she was like and
Speaker 4: then it comes with the sparagus tips and they are good,
Speaker 4: and then I think the guys in the movie kind
Speaker 4: of make fun of her. And it was like the
Speaker 4: first time, which just towhere like how like I could
Speaker 4: be annoying And I still think of sometimes when I
Speaker 4: just have that but and it is good and just
Speaker 4: like I'm like, that's annoying, Like and I just loved
Speaker 4: the observation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that film. And is that Robin Gibbons
Speaker 2: Was that her first film?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 4: And then Just When You're a young girl aspiring to
Speaker 4: be like a beautiful woman Robin Gibbons, halle Berry, just
Speaker 4: anyone that Eddie Murphy was on a date with in
Speaker 4: that movie. There's like, yeah, a beautiful woman who's like
Speaker 4: walking a dog like it was just everything with Grace
Speaker 4: Jones like eye candy, funny and eye candy.
Speaker 3: That's what I cared about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a help movie. Did you have you ever
Speaker 2: met Eddie Murphy?
Speaker 1: Is he ever? Yes? How did that go?
Speaker 4: And So I had a Boomerang poster in my office
Speaker 4: at SNL since my first season there, and I think
Speaker 4: he hosted my third season, and so I was really
Speaker 4: nervous because I was like, he's gonna come in my office,
Speaker 4: He's going to see the boomerang poster and he's gonna
Speaker 4: think I hung enough fast.
Speaker 3: But he was very sweet about it.
Speaker 1: That's nice. That's nice.
Speaker 2: You have to be genuine with your places, you know.
Speaker 2: When we when we had when Bill Lawrence and I
Speaker 2: had our meeting with Jason Segel to talk about shrinking.
Speaker 2: We run the zoom and I had a poster of
Speaker 2: his Muppets movie behind me, and I'd forgotten because it's
Speaker 2: just always there. And then suddenly Bill was like, by
Speaker 2: the way, this isn't fake.
Speaker 1: That is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, tell me this. Let's not be too negative.
Speaker 2: What's the worst film you've ever seen?
Speaker 3: Cloud Atlas?
Speaker 2: Now, come on listen in defense of Cloud Atlas. M hm,
Speaker 2: it's taking some massive swigs. Talk about it's swinging.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: It is a film of someone swinging wildly over and
Speaker 2: over big swigs.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I appreciate this, and I'll actually take more
Speaker 4: of the heat on this because every so often there's
Speaker 4: a type of movie or being someone who loves movies
Speaker 4: for like going deep, crying, taking chances, prosthetics.
Speaker 3: We've talked, you know, there's poetics, all of that stuff.
Speaker 4: There is a certain type and I don't even think
Speaker 4: I'm well spoken enough to get this point across what
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try. There's a certain type of intelligent film
Speaker 4: that's dealing with certain themes that goes so far over
Speaker 4: my head from the script to the performance that I
Speaker 4: just start rejecting it and all the people around me
Speaker 4: that are into it, and I do think this is
Speaker 4: a me problem. But Cloud Atlas is one of those.
Speaker 4: And also it's I should say this because I would
Speaker 4: love a part like this, but when there are parts
Speaker 4: for actors where there's too much meat on the bone,
Speaker 4: where I know that like the actor is very aware of,
Speaker 4: like if I nail this, it was the best actor
Speaker 4: of all time, I reject that as well. And there
Speaker 4: was like too much meat on the bone in that
Speaker 4: movie where I'm just like.
Speaker 3: Everybody's doing too much. Everyone's getting off on themselves.
Speaker 4: Everybody's everybody, even with the audience is also getting off
Speaker 4: on it too.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I cannot submit to this film.
Speaker 1: I just did. I just did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me problem, that's that is you. But it is
Speaker 2: a very strange film, and good luck to it. I
Speaker 2: wish it will.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's the film that made you laugh the most?
Speaker 1: You're very funny? What makes you laugh the most?
Speaker 3: Waiting for Gutman?
Speaker 1: Fucking great? Of course it is Coase it.
Speaker 4: Is, Yeah, and another one, you know. I just went
Speaker 4: to a screening of it this summer.
Speaker 3: Seeing that movie.
Speaker 4: Hundreds of times, I love. And this was my realization
Speaker 4: from seeing it one hundred and tenth time. I was
Speaker 4: so obsessed with so many certain lines and parts in
Speaker 4: that movie when I was thirteen years old that like
Speaker 4: coasted me through even all my twenties of my waiting
Speaker 4: for Gotman obsession that I was missing so much. And
Speaker 4: this time I had had like maybe I hadn't seen
Speaker 4: the movie in five years, and I had this new
Speaker 4: lens where I was like, oh my god, Like there's
Speaker 4: that scene at the Chinese restaurant when they're talking about
Speaker 4: like Fred Willard's penis reduction surgery and like that that
Speaker 4: was the funniest thing, and all the dialogue. But the
Speaker 4: more and more this time I started launching Catherine O'Hara,
Speaker 4: and not just what's coming out of her mouth because
Speaker 4: she's so drunk, but the way she's eating her dinner and.
Speaker 3: How fucking sloppy she is.
Speaker 4: And imagining a woman just like telling all these secrets
Speaker 4: about her husband while just being like sloppy with Chinese
Speaker 4: food was killing me. And I had so many other
Speaker 4: of those little moments that I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: now I'm gonna go back through my adult face. So
Speaker 4: waiting for Goffman.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fuck, I loved that. I love that. Hid got it.
Speaker 2: You have been absolutely brilliant as expected, Thank you and
Speaker 2: a joy to hang out with. However, when you were
Speaker 2: they recently, I don't know if you know this, but
Speaker 2: they rebuilt the mall in Kansas City. It's called the
Speaker 2: the Banister All. They rebuilt it, and you were so
Speaker 2: excited you went there all the time.
Speaker 1: You went. You went shopping hard.
Speaker 2: You shopped so hard that the play shut down and
Speaker 2: you didn't even notice, and you were like, fucking know,
Speaker 2: it's it's getting dark in here. And all the lights
Speaker 2: went out and you were like oh, and you checked
Speaker 2: the door and you were locked in. You were like, well,
Speaker 2: just go to my favorite door, Merry Around. You went
Speaker 2: in Merried Around before I just have a little nap here,
Speaker 2: and the smoke alarm wasn't on, there wasn't a CO
Speaker 2: two test, and carbon monoxide was pumped into the building
Speaker 2: as they did every night to sort of clear out
Speaker 2: bugs and stuff, and you died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I'm there in the morning, guy shopping with a coffin,
Speaker 2: you know how I do, And I go, what's this
Speaker 2: merry Around? I like rides. Is this like a ride?
Speaker 2: And I go in there and I'm like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 2: it's clothes is it around?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Really, I'm really annoyed there's no rides here. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is bullshit. But then I see a dead body
Speaker 2: in it. I'm like, is that hider gardener from shrinking?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And because of the carbon monoxide, you've like expanded. You're
Speaker 2: absolutely freaking massive. Actually you in a way you'd fancy
Speaker 2: yourself because you've now got quite a distended head. And
Speaker 2: and I I said to the shop for people that
Speaker 2: work at mergrounds, like, can you help me? We have
Speaker 2: to chop you up, chop you up, chop up. Carbon
Speaker 2: monoxides coming out, and I'm like, hold your breath and
Speaker 2: we get all the pieces of your body in the coffee.
Speaker 2: We stuff it in. It's jammed in there. There's no room.
Speaker 2: There really isn't room in there.
Speaker 1: There's no room.
Speaker 2: There's enough room that we could slip one DVD into
Speaker 2: the side for you to take across to the other side.
Speaker 2: And on the other side, it's movie night every night.
Speaker 2: What are you taking to show the cats in heaven
Speaker 2: when it is your movie night? Hid the Gardener go.

Speaker 1: Okay, cool Excity.
Speaker 4: I got to be a judge on a very cool
Speaker 4: and heartwarming show called Second Chance Stage that comes out
Speaker 4: in Thanksgiving. And most of you will think that we
Speaker 4: don't need it, but if we could all just collectively
Speaker 4: root for the Chiefs this season, it makes me really
Speaker 4: happy when they win Super.
Speaker 1: Bowls's that's really nice. I get that, do you? Is
Speaker 1: the Second Chance? Second Chance shy Down? What was it called?
Speaker 1: Second Chance Sunday?
Speaker 3: Second Chance Stage? And it's about people.
Speaker 4: It's a competition talent show about people who are taking
Speaker 4: a second chance in life, who got kind of held
Speaker 4: back or stopped from their dreams and are now being
Speaker 4: really open and vulnerable and doing it for later in life, really.
Speaker 2: Crying, you're ready, I'm crying ready, And I hope that
Speaker 2: you're the main judge of it. I hope it's really
Speaker 2: vulnerable and you're just like that is shit, Yeah, guy, Chase.
Speaker 4: I was very scared of being the mean judge because
Speaker 4: I knew I couldn't do it. But I really found
Speaker 4: a way in humanity wise with people.
Speaker 3: That I wasn't expecting and so nice.
Speaker 4: Just one of those unexpected life experiences where you're like,
Speaker 4: that was really special.
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 2: Like I would never want to be me or I
Speaker 2: don't understand how anyone does the negative side of it?
Speaker 2: Did it happen? Like what happens when someone when you're
Speaker 2: like this is really bad? What would you say? How
Speaker 2: would you handle it in a way that isn't me
Speaker 2: or upsaying, well if that happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is just an example.
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't even say I had to deal with
Speaker 4: like really bad the thing that I could really tell.
Speaker 4: And it's probably because you know, a lot of the
Speaker 4: people that I was seeing weren't necessarily like twenty one
Speaker 4: year old, no fear like just giving it at all.
Speaker 4: I could tell so many people like we're finally shooting
Speaker 4: their shot and the talent was there. But I was like,
Speaker 4: I bet this is so much better when you do
Speaker 4: this like in your basement at home, like yeah, because
Speaker 4: I can just tell you could see like there was
Speaker 4: like a guy performing like Mac the Knife, and I
Speaker 4: was like, I can see that you have these moves
Speaker 4: like and I don't see anyone today doing this stuff.
Speaker 4: And I was like I can just relate, Like when
Speaker 4: I'm at home alone doing something, I'm just like so
Speaker 4: much more swab and just to like tell him, like
Speaker 4: you know, not that it means a lot coming from me,
Speaker 4: but like if I could just give you the permission
Speaker 4: to if you just go that little bit further, which
Speaker 4: is adults, it's really hard to do because we don't
Speaker 4: want to look stupid. You won't look stupid, like we'll
Speaker 4: be more impressed and will actually be more comfort want
Speaker 4: more at.
Speaker 3: Ease and be like, oh my god, like he's not
