Speaker 2: ship with like chemicals. They're trying to kill us. They're
Speaker 2: trying to kill did you hear that the government is
Speaker 2: actually trying to kill us all?
Speaker 1: How do you mean? Well? I can't get into it
Speaker 1: because they're coming. You know, our guest came in with
Speaker 1: the Secret Service.
Speaker 2: Those are the lovely folks at security at NBC. I
Speaker 2: know there was Are you at the level? Are you
Speaker 2: at the level where I don't get I don't get
Speaker 2: a little FAILANX, but I get so.
Speaker 1: You're vulnerable out there.
Speaker 2: But I say hi to the guys on like every
Speaker 2: day that I'm do they give this because that I
Speaker 2: can't describe the energy more than he No, they really
Speaker 2: they know they're talking to a foppish fellow and they hey, Bowen,
Speaker 2: how are Yeah, they soften up a little bit.
Speaker 1: They're not you. You're one of the poppish girls of NBC.
Speaker 1: So an't you guys all in a group text like
Speaker 1: Lauren's always Laurence guys, that's what we call it.
Speaker 2: Lornette lor Lornettes are me and the security people on eight.
Speaker 1: Do people know about the Lornettes, like the actual Lornettes? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, like they've been documented. Okay, there
Speaker 2: needs to be a Do you think it's fine if
Speaker 2: I talk about the Lornettes.
Speaker 3: I would be glancing in your description of the Lornette.
Speaker 2: The Lornettes are the people who make the popcorn event great.
Speaker 1: Love that. Yeah, keep it there, Let's keep it there. Wow.
Speaker 3: So you have to be a little bit more specific
Speaker 3: now that I've made it sound like no.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, they're all lovely people. And actually one of
Speaker 2: the Lornettes, Karina helped out on the Culture Awards. Yes
Speaker 2: she did. I love that Lornette. She's well, she's more
Speaker 2: than a lornette. She's a wonderful more than a lornette,
Speaker 2: more than any That should be the title of all
Speaker 2: their books.
Speaker 1: She's a Mornette's. So the reason why this is so
Speaker 1: exciting is because I was in London and I want
Speaker 1: to shout out London and a couple of things I did.
Speaker 1: Then I saw Nicole Scherzinger and son St Boulevard. This
Speaker 1: has to be seen. And I'm not just saying this
Speaker 1: because I one of the gayest people in the world.
Speaker 1: This is one of the stunning performances of our time.
Speaker 1: You can't believe how crazy it is.
Speaker 2: I mean unreal. Nicole Sures and your can do sense
Speaker 2: that Boulevard. Glenn Close could not sing buttons could not
Speaker 2: sing buttons or react. No, And that's a rule of culture.
Speaker 1: Cannot do button and react. Now, I think that the
Speaker 1: fact that we're sort of like in this deep of
Speaker 1: gay culture talking about buttons and react Sunset Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if our guest knows about buttons and react.
Speaker 1: I think he does. I wonder if we were to say,
Speaker 1: this is a group of words buttons, react, beep, I
Speaker 1: would wonder if he could describe do you know what
Speaker 1: those are? I am so in the weeds and you're
Speaker 1: not introduced yet, but he's in the weeds so far.
Speaker 1: What we're talking about a Pussycat Dolls song titles excellent.
Speaker 3: I mean I think I could have based I did
Speaker 3: know that about a nicure Yeah, yeah, maybe I could.
Speaker 1: Have got Has she been on the show? She is?
Speaker 1: Oh boy.
Speaker 2: I feel like she's a fox girly with the masked singer,
Speaker 2: and I feel like they're telling her if you go
Speaker 2: on seth, yeah, you're done, you're done.
Speaker 1: You're done, Nicole, You're done, Nicole. And already it's tough. Hey, no,
Speaker 1: I'm saying the UK embraced her in the UK Nicole
Speaker 1: Scherzinger is Celine Dion's You come to the US. You
Speaker 1: can't even get on the show.
Speaker 2: It's not She's a very successful entertainer. Nicole Scherzinger for
Speaker 2: the pod for Ohnicle.
Speaker 1: We would love to have started here because I think
Speaker 1: it's going to transfer to Broadway and every gay person
Speaker 1: and theater lover, yes, should go see this. I mean
Speaker 1: that then diagram is a circle. Speaking of theater, you
Speaker 1: saw Spamalot last night.
Speaker 2: I saw spam a Lot last Night's so funny, uh huh,
Speaker 2: excellent performance is all around.
Speaker 1: Wow a person Broadway.
Speaker 2: I think stupid is back.
Speaker 1: I think stupid shit is back.
Speaker 2: And I just watching spam a Lot and me going,
Speaker 2: I know it was my first time seeing the actual show,
Speaker 2: but I was like, I know, Monty Python on the
Speaker 2: Holy Real like the back of my damn hands.
Speaker 1: That would you say it's one of the cultures that
Speaker 1: made you say culture.
Speaker 2: It is definitely one of the cultures that because I
Speaker 2: actually just read in it from the library on my
Speaker 2: own accord when I was like nine.
Speaker 1: You looked at the cover and said that looks like
Speaker 1: fun comedy and something I'll enjoy.
Speaker 2: And just the opening title cards of like that person
Speaker 2: has been sacked and the person who sacked that person
Speaker 2: that's been sacked. I was like, what am I watching?
Speaker 2: And then the end of that movie, I'm gonna spoil it.
Speaker 2: Everyone gets there's this huge sceniariors and then and then
Speaker 2: the cops come and arrest everybody. It's one of the
Speaker 2: best comedy endings ever of a film. I would say, huge,
Speaker 2: and I want to throw it over to I guess
Speaker 2: because I think he is a he's an expert in comedy.
Speaker 2: I would say that, wouldn't you say so? Not only
Speaker 2: would I say that.
Speaker 1: Not only would I say expert in comedy, I would
Speaker 1: say expert in kindness and kindness, I would say expert
Speaker 1: in professionalist family, I would say family. I would say
Speaker 1: this man has one of the best reputations in the business. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and guess what a lot of people talking and talking
Speaker 1: the truth and the truth they always say about this guy. Lovely, gracious.
Speaker 1: Everyone at the place he works late night with Seth
Speaker 1: Myers says, I've been here for a long time and
Speaker 1: I will stay here for a long time. Thank God.
Speaker 1: He puts one of our good friend's house, Henry Melcher,
Speaker 1: a roof over his house, Henry Melcher, Henry Melcher and
Speaker 1: Archie and hugo oh, the babies. The baby.
Speaker 2: That makes it sound like I only pay enough to
Speaker 2: put a roof on.
Speaker 1: Well, and just for roofing. We reroofed Henry's house. That's
Speaker 1: so nice. The plumbing there is terrible, but there's a roof.
Speaker 1: You know him as the star of New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: and the co host of the Strike Force five podcasts
Speaker 1: and Stanley Trips with the Myers brother Family Trips with
Speaker 1: the Meyers Brothers. He's also the host of Late Night
Speaker 1: with Seth Myers. You know him from Saturday Night Live
Speaker 1: many many many years doing the thing over there. And
Speaker 1: you know something about that this is a good day,
Speaker 1: This is a good day. Did I say, goriod? I
Speaker 1: think so that was very Lindsay lohand of me started
Speaker 1: to say good. So I say, great, But let's just
Speaker 1: bring him in show. Everyone welcome, Seth.
Speaker 3: Be so happy to be here. So first of all,
Speaker 3: let me just say you said a very you were
Speaker 3: on the show second time. Yeah, fantastic, so funny, you
Speaker 3: were great effort.
Speaker 1: Would you not agree?
Speaker 3: I think there was a level of comfort between both
Speaker 3: of us. We know each other a little bit better.
Speaker 3: I think the second time was a home run, and
Speaker 3: I really was. I had left really happy about the
Speaker 3: first time, and then the second time I was like,
Speaker 3: see that that was how you want to do it. Yes,
Speaker 3: it felt a little bit less hun to maybe the
Speaker 3: pre interview, except everything was.
Speaker 1: A bit more. I think that was my first ever
Speaker 1: talk show by myself. That's true. Oh so that's the
Speaker 1: first time you want to The first time I went
Speaker 1: on your show was the first time I was ever
Speaker 1: like and please welcome and you come out and do
Speaker 1: the thing where and no one ever talks about the
Speaker 1: sort of headiness about walking out when the doors come
Speaker 1: and then you crazy your walk out. It's sort of
Speaker 1: like what what what's my walkout? Like? What's my thing?
Speaker 3: It's funny because I, well, every now and then I'll
Speaker 3: just pop downstairs. You would think this is the easiest
Speaker 3: possible talk show appearance. I popped downstairs to do Fallon. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I'm backstage, and I have such an appreciation this
Speaker 3: is Being a guest on a talk show is so
Speaker 3: much harder than hosting.
Speaker 1: And how do you describe it?
Speaker 3: You host it, you get to do it every day
Speaker 3: and you just slowly over the course of time, like
Speaker 3: waves lapping against the shore, you become comfortable with it
Speaker 3: and the show becomes yours. But even backstage of Fallon,
Speaker 3: which I've probably done fifteen times, Yeah, the stage might
Speaker 3: be like and I remember, you walk out and turn right,
Speaker 3: and I go turn right. I know, like, it's not
Speaker 3: like I'm going to walk out and walk straight to
Speaker 3: the roots. I will find the desk. But you're backstage
Speaker 3: in the dark, and you really do start to spin
Speaker 3: out about the idea that you are now going to perform,
Speaker 3: the idea of being a guest.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is a thing, because there's there's also been
Speaker 1: at least two hellos beforehand. There's been a conversation before him,
Speaker 1: and you have to the artifice of a greeting is tough.
Speaker 1: Artifice of a greeting. That's a great memoir.
Speaker 3: That's interesting. I like to say during an interview sometime
Speaker 3: we were talking backstage. Yes, because I don't I won't
Speaker 3: artifice a greeting, although it's interesting, neither will David Letterman,
Speaker 3: and he would not come and say hello before the
Speaker 3: show and when he's the two times he's been a
Speaker 3: guest on my show, he has asked that I don't
Speaker 3: say hello before the show very politely, because he likes
Speaker 3: the hello to be the real Hello, to be on
Speaker 3: camera a god, and they always are.
Speaker 2: They always are. Hold on this is not my I
Speaker 2: don't think so money, but Worldwide Pants took down every
Speaker 2: single Letterman clip from YouTube.
Speaker 3: I thought they just launched a new YouTube channel. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they had their own they have They have a whole
Speaker 3: like encyclopedic cattle.
Speaker 2: Because I'm like, how am I going to get Miami's
Speaker 2: sadaris fixed from those episodes?
Speaker 1: Oh, do you have a favorite guest?
Speaker 3: You know it's I will say, I think we've become
Speaker 3: a nice post Letterman home FRAMI I think I was
Speaker 3: just gonna say, you know, they're I think they kind
Speaker 3: of all get sort of doled out. Yeah, a draft
Speaker 3: of sorts where each of us sort of ends up.
Speaker 3: And I think Amy, even though Amy and and Colbert
Speaker 3: have long history in their Dear Friends, I think she
Speaker 3: likes who she gets to be on our show.
Speaker 2: Colbert can't be like the There's something about her and
Speaker 2: Letterman where it was like it's just this guy letting
Speaker 2: her go. And then with Colbert, there's so much history
Speaker 2: there that it's like, right, but it's just like two
Speaker 2: friends talking, which is not why you watch Amy Sidaris
Speaker 2: go off.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's weird.
Speaker 3: I had to find a way to interview friends because
Speaker 3: I early on in the show underestimated how prep does
Speaker 3: help with these things. And I would say, oh, Bill's
Speaker 3: coming on, wigs coming on, how could it be bad?
Speaker 3: And then halfway through it, I'd realize, oh, this is
Speaker 3: a little bad. You think so I think, but we've
Speaker 3: found I've gotten better at it. Like you can't just
Speaker 3: completely rest on the idea that we will because we're
Speaker 3: old friends, we're gonna have an interesting conversation. Because sometimes
Speaker 3: I think about friends is you're enjoying the conversation even
Speaker 3: when it's not interesting. And when a lot of people
Speaker 3: that don't share that history in the audience watching, they
Speaker 3: need a few more sort of like touch points they
Speaker 3: can lock into the story.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: What about family though, Like let's say, like Thanksgiving, you
Speaker 2: you bring yeah, my Josh and the parents.
Speaker 3: It's the most stressed out I am on. Oh, and
Speaker 3: by the way, I think it always works out great.
Speaker 3: My parents are wonderful on the show. My brother's wonderful
Speaker 3: in the show. But everybody has been saying this week,
Speaker 3: oh we forget this is the only week of the
Speaker 3: year where Seth is on edge?
Speaker 1: Wow? Now is that also to do with the fact that, like,
Speaker 1: you don't want to put anyone in your family like
Speaker 1: in a position where they feel like fucking on edge
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 3: I want to take care of my parents, got it.
Speaker 3: I want to take care of my brother. I also
Speaker 3: don't ever want us to be on TV, like aren't
Speaker 3: we just the best?
Speaker 1: You know? You want to like bring it every time?
Speaker 3: Like I want my family is fun on Aatakshaw because
Speaker 3: my family is funny, and so I want to put
Speaker 3: them in a position to be funny as opposed to
Speaker 3: just look at us grand they were this close.
Speaker 2: That's like on the surface, it seems and I'm not
Speaker 2: saying this is what it is, but it just it
Speaker 2: would read as presumptuous to be like, I'm going to
Speaker 2: bring my my parents and my brother on my show.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and look how charming we are. I think
Speaker 1: my mother, if she ever came on this podcast. My
Speaker 1: mother has sort of a catchphrase that she thinks works
Speaker 1: all the time, but only works sometimes. So I told
Speaker 1: the story one time about how she was at the beach.
Speaker 1: She called me because she had been at the beach.
Speaker 1: My parents were at the beach and a seagull came
Speaker 1: and stole her sandwich out of her hand, and she said,
Speaker 1: damn bird. And so people love that she said damn
Speaker 1: bird because she also typed it out on text like
Speaker 1: d A M M. So now whenever anyone like is
Speaker 1: posting or whatever I see her way in online, she'll
Speaker 1: just say, Lol, this is so funny, damn bird, She'll
Speaker 1: just throw it in there.
Speaker 3: I know how old was she when this happened? Like
Speaker 3: what age did she add a catchphrase to it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Very late breaking? Oh yeah, I know. But like
Speaker 1: dan bird has really like been a huge thing. I said,
Speaker 1: she should make shirts. I think more people would buy
Speaker 1: her merch than like March that says like lost cultusta.
Speaker 1: Certainly she's got a huge She's sitting on a gold mine.
Speaker 3: Dann Bird two ms is a very funny share.
Speaker 1: So funny and like with a little bird in the corner,
Speaker 1: hold in a bagel, I mean, come on, we My
Speaker 1: son and Axel, when he was three, was running down
Speaker 1: a beach holding a bagel in his above his head
Speaker 1: and in the best mood and a bird came down
Speaker 1: like it was a circus act where a boy ran
Speaker 1: across the you know, the big top, and a bird
Speaker 1: flew down and grabbed the bagel.
Speaker 3: And it was other than the fact that he was crying,
Speaker 3: It's the most everyone had jumped to my feet and applod. Yeah,
Speaker 3: did you tell him that in years he's going to
Speaker 3: be last?
Speaker 1: This is a good story, is one? That bagel? That
Speaker 1: damn bird?
Speaker 3: He might actually I might offer him damn bird with
Speaker 3: an m N so that's available and he could take
Speaker 3: damn bird.
Speaker 1: Axel is the coolest fucking name for a kid.
Speaker 3: And I wasn't bored from the beginning. Really, I love it,
Speaker 3: and he's an axle, and I give my wife all
Speaker 3: the credit in the world.
Speaker 1: But I didn't.
Speaker 3: It felt a little. It felt like a bigger swing
Speaker 3: than it ended up being. Okay, can I tell you
Speaker 3: because we then, so we have a names ash, which
Speaker 3: is my wife's maiden names are first A s h E,
Speaker 3: then Axel, and then our daughter is Adelaide, which is
Speaker 3: my grandmother's name. Now, if the third had been a boy,
Speaker 3: my wife had an a name picked out that I
Speaker 3: was very I was going to fight hard edge. Yes,
Speaker 3: give me your instant reactions.
Speaker 1: We will Atlas okay, okay, yeah, well we're both we're
Speaker 1: both resident on that real good.
Speaker 2: What was the what's what's the sentiment of that name?
Speaker 1: I think uniqueness.
Speaker 3: I think that we live in an era where a
Speaker 3: lot of the unique A names have now become a
Speaker 3: very commonplace. It was hard to find, you know, it's
Speaker 3: at some point even like Archer. I feel like my
Speaker 3: kids had been already been in a class where there's
Speaker 3: like Archer B and Archer J. You know, because they've
Speaker 3: got a couple.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm sorry, you know what I'm coming around to.
Speaker 2: And I think it's like but I think it's a
Speaker 2: grower now. I thought of miss Rand as soon as
Speaker 2: I heard it.
Speaker 1: For sure, I think that that's going to happen. But
Speaker 1: Atlas myers like, I'm sorry, that's a very powerful high
Speaker 1: schooler that is not as I I hate saying, yes,
Speaker 1: but that person crushes it. Yes.
Speaker 3: The risk of what you end up with like an
Speaker 3: ironic Atlas, you know, you end up with a high
Speaker 3: schooler who is not Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The funny thing is I was like, well, you want
Speaker 3: an a name, and so if it's a boy's Atlice
Speaker 3: and if it's a girl's going to be Anne and
Speaker 3: then you would have.
Speaker 1: A y N and that would tell you I would
Speaker 1: tell you everything about her. Interesting.
Speaker 2: But I think that the unique anime that kicked this
Speaker 2: all off for the culture, you know, miss Apple Martin, Oh,
Speaker 2: Apple Martin.
Speaker 1: I think I've never been Apple Martin.
Speaker 2: She certainly has. She seems to be loving life.
Speaker 1: How old is Apple Martin?
Speaker 2: I think she's like a like as an adult.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think she's going to become a model.
Speaker 1: That's the rumor I heard on the street. Word on
Speaker 1: the street was that Apple Martin was going to become
Speaker 1: a model, which is like, yeah, sure, sure, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 3: Sure it would have been one of those things if
Speaker 3: you could have bet on it early, Yeah, that would
Speaker 3: have been terrible, like bet one hundred to in like seven.
Speaker 1: Fifty on Vegas. Are you a gambler? I will gamble
Speaker 1: a little. Yeah, that is a that's a hard yess.
Speaker 3: I mean, so when I go to Vegas, I will
Speaker 3: get a little intimidated by craps, But that is by
Speaker 3: far the most fun one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If I can go with a couple of people who
Speaker 3: know it, that is the most fun to do blackjack,
Speaker 3: I'd just become a little like to be good at blackjack,
Speaker 3: you have to be patient. And when I go to
Speaker 3: in the last thirty decade, when I'm in Vegas, it's
Speaker 3: usually because I did a show and I don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of time, and so if I only have
Speaker 3: an hour, it just feels like I get a little antsy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I got play right into the casino's hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is true. I was just in Vegas,
Speaker 1: and like I've been to Vegas where the table was hot.
Speaker 1: You really can feel that, Like when the table's hot
Speaker 1: and things are going good, you feel like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: no way I could ever sit down and play this
Speaker 1: game and not be good. Yeah, And then the last
Speaker 1: time I was there the table was ice cold. I
Speaker 1: was bad. Every single hand was bad, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I will never do this again. But there's something addiction
Speaker 1: about that, and there's something very real and tangible about
Speaker 1: the feeling of I'm hot or I'm like dead.
Speaker 2: Yes, but because you're sure that it can turn at
Speaker 2: any given moment, and it sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. Though, It's like I'll sit
Speaker 1: down and I'll play like play a bad hand. Is
Speaker 1: that what they'd say? Yeah, and sure, and I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's bad for the rest of the night, and then
Speaker 1: it is, and then sometimes it's good and the steak
Speaker 1: is on me. Actually you'll see me in Alexander McQueen.
Speaker 3: Now, this is the very depressing gambling summer I had
Speaker 3: because when the strike happened, I tried to book stand
Speaker 3: up shows. It's very hard to book maybe the ideal
Speaker 3: places because a lot of people are on the road,
Speaker 3: a lot of those stags. But I had a three
Speaker 3: day stint where I did a casino in Hollywood, Florida,
Speaker 3: then Tampa, Florida, then Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: And all those places.
Speaker 3: Even if people didn't maybe know me from my show
Speaker 3: or out, posters are up of you at the casinos
Speaker 3: because you're doing a show, and so you don't really
Speaker 3: want to go gamble as someone who you know they
Speaker 3: could recognize. Sure, So what I would I would have
Speaker 3: to wake up so early to get to the airport
Speaker 3: for the next one that I would sort of sometimes
Speaker 3: go and like gamble at like four forty five in
Speaker 3: the morning. Really because it was and that is you
Speaker 3: see the way he I mean there's no one there, like, no,
Speaker 3: there's no happy gamblers at four in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker 1: Not in Tampa, Florida. I know. Yeah, we say that
Speaker 1: with all love, with all do you get people in
Speaker 1: like Tampa Florida will come up to you and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I see your show. You get ordinary people? I don't,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: I do think people at this point are smart enough
Speaker 3: to self select, got it? Yeah, I do get a
Speaker 3: little way. I mean I think weirdly, the hard rock
Speaker 3: in Hollywood, Florida is the one that's shaped like a guitar.
Speaker 3: It's like crazy three I literd disappointing. One thing is
Speaker 3: you hear it shape like a guitar, and you're like,
Speaker 3: that's so dumb. And then when you're driving in you
Speaker 3: see it and you do have that kid moment.
Speaker 1: Of like, oh my god, I'm gonna stay guitar. Yeah
Speaker 1: we love that hour.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really kind of cool. The neck of the
Speaker 3: guitar you wish was a little higher. Obviously it doesn't
Speaker 3: make sense. You're in a hurricane state, so it it's
Speaker 3: only maybe like five or six frets up. I think
Speaker 3: the idea is that sort of you're supposed to think
Speaker 3: it disappears into the class.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. It's an upright guitar. It's an upright guitar.
Speaker 3: Okay, And but that I felt like that was real, Uh,
Speaker 3: Trump country, but the kind of Trump country where they
Speaker 3: have money and they're totally fine come to your show
Speaker 3: and not be like, you know, like we all. I mean,
Speaker 3: isn't he a lot like yeah, he's doing He's.
Speaker 1: Only doing his thing. Yeah, it was funny, right, the
Speaker 1: rest of it was funny. But then when he got
Speaker 1: a little edgy, you.
Speaker 3: Know, but anyway, you know, also does good things, so
Speaker 3: like that's yeah, yeah, well okay, here's my question.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned like looking at a guitar shaped hotel
Speaker 1: and getting very excited. Are you like us where you
Speaker 1: reap the NBC perks and by us Simon and Bowen.
Speaker 1: Are you a theme park person but you go to
Speaker 1: Universal Studios and sort of kill it.
Speaker 3: I am waiting, the kids aren't quite there, okay, And
Speaker 3: so but I have I will say I did not
Speaker 3: take advantage as an adult without children of the theme
Speaker 3: park world.
Speaker 1: Right, we do it? You know, why would you I had?
Speaker 3: I've seen part of the era years where I lived
Speaker 3: in Amsterdeare for a couple of years, I worked for
Speaker 3: this theater in Chicago and sort of middle of Holland
Speaker 3: there is this place called Efteling, which is, for my money,
Speaker 3: the best theme park in the world, and it's sort
Speaker 3: of fairy tale themes and it's built in sort of
Speaker 3: a forest. And that was We would just go there
Speaker 3: on a bus and take hard drugs. Yes, And it
Speaker 3: was to me, I kind of I'd just be chasing
Speaker 3: that the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's what happened to us because
Speaker 1: we this was like pre anyone knowing who the fuck
Speaker 1: we were, It's the most important. So we went. That's
Speaker 1: really what ended up happening because we went, our friend
Speaker 1: Dave and us we went to Universal and Disney World
Speaker 1: and he had made these you know, when someone makes
Speaker 1: weed food themselves, it's gonna be a gnarly ryde yes,
Speaker 1: and we're really roll in the dice. So he had
Speaker 1: made these rice crispy treats that weed butter looted, yeah,
Speaker 1: with THHD And I'm telling you, like, we would take
Speaker 1: mouthfuls of this and just be like unable to speak
Speaker 1: at Universal, just exploring the world, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: immersing in these rides and like we were children, and
Speaker 1: now I don't think we can ever do that again
Speaker 1: because I don't think we'll ever ingest we'd like that again,
Speaker 1: because they don't make it like that anymore, and we've
Speaker 1: already had that experience of being children and like rechilding ourselves.
Speaker 3: Yes, so it's really I will say that if you
Speaker 3: veer into a bad trip, the last thing you want
Speaker 3: to be around is a bunch of Dutch teenage just
Speaker 3: because all of a sudden that like it.
Speaker 1: Really everything about it is so this hits this level
Speaker 1: of sort of melting grotesqueness. Yes, yes, yeah, oh that's hard.
Speaker 2: I think we've said publicly it's a gross language. It
Speaker 2: doesn't really so to me it doesn't hit. No, we
Speaker 2: just performed at Broom Chicago.
Speaker 1: We're a little mad at them right now because they
Speaker 1: lost the audio of ar Michelle Collins upisode and so
Speaker 1: we're a little mad at that right now. But it
Speaker 1: was a lovely experience performing there, and we were there
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh wow, this was Boom Chicago. Yes,
Speaker 1: this was I was.
Speaker 3: It was a different physical space when I was there.
Speaker 3: But I've performed and that's why I went back there
Speaker 3: for the thirtieth Aniversity this summer, which was cool. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think we missed each other by a deck. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I had texted you, was like when we were there, No,
Speaker 3: when I was there, when I took a solo, little
Speaker 3: old trip there in July.
Speaker 1: Or something something like that.
Speaker 2: The talk of the town was well seth Myers was
Speaker 2: just here and I said, oh, like his show was
Speaker 2: last night. Let me see if he's into And by
Speaker 2: the way, it was just to be it was. I
Speaker 2: was just texting me to be like, I heard your
Speaker 2: in town. I'm just here by myself, just like wandering
Speaker 2: the canals, like if you're up to anything.
Speaker 1: Let me know. And then you would obviously taken a
Speaker 1: flight out. I was very sure of his. I would
Speaker 1: have been lovely to walk the canals. Well, we would
Speaker 1: just walk the canals.
Speaker 3: I think we would have walked it thro out.
Speaker 2: I think we maybe stopped for a coffee, you know,
Speaker 2: side canal side coffee. Rich stuffful, We got rich stuff?
Speaker 1: You did? Did you enjoy your right stuff? I love it,
Speaker 1: love it. I absolutely love Amsterdam in the canals in
Speaker 1: the evening when there's no one there, it is quite peaceful.
Speaker 3: I realized I have a problem with Amsterdam. What is
Speaker 3: my own personal problem with me? I find the nostalgia
Speaker 3: for the time I had there is oppressive because it
Speaker 3: was where things. It was that sense of beginning, which
Speaker 3: is an impossible thing to recreate. I was there with
Speaker 3: this exceptional group of people and we were all had
Speaker 3: this adventurous spirit of let's go move overseas, let's take
Speaker 3: this chance, and we're doing great shows. And then one
Speaker 3: by one we all started to, you know, find success
Speaker 3: outside of it. And that was all great, that was
Speaker 3: the plan. But oh, it's impossible. And so sometimes I
Speaker 3: go back there and I walk these canals where even
Speaker 3: though you know, everything that I could have possibly hoped
Speaker 3: would have happened for me has happened for me. Like
Speaker 3: you still don't float the way you float when you're
Speaker 3: twenty four and you just crushed as isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1: It's so true.
Speaker 2: Well, but we don't really experience that, I think because
Speaker 2: we were coming up here.
Speaker 1: I experienced that after I left New York, so basically
Speaker 1: like I had this in New York City, Like it's
Speaker 1: very hard for me sometimes still to be like around
Speaker 1: NYU in the Lower East Side and even around like
Speaker 1: UCB Chelsea and stuff like that. Like I had left
Speaker 1: for five years and then came back and the pandemic
Speaker 1: had separated me from it, and so I found like
Speaker 1: one night when I was walking around, we just talked
Speaker 1: about this, but I got really emotional just being like
Speaker 1: back in New York, like looking at theaters that were
Speaker 1: there and aren't there anymore, and like, you know, because
Speaker 1: it's what you're saying. It's like I remember like crushing
Speaker 1: a character set at you seb East and feeling like
Speaker 1: better than I do after I like release a fucking
Speaker 1: album or something, you know what I mean. It's just
Speaker 1: it's funny. One of the questions they asked is what
Speaker 1: would you tell yourself ten years ago? What would you
Speaker 1: tell yourself fifteen years ago? Just like enjoy it because
Speaker 1: those are such iconic memorable like is irrepeatable a words
Speaker 1: like so it could be you can't repeat them. Well.
Speaker 3: Also, the crushing was the thing. Yeah, that's all it was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like when you mentioned like putting out an album, you
Speaker 3: put it out and then you wait, right, but that
Speaker 3: instant reaction like the goal you went out and you
Speaker 3: never thought tonight tonight. Someone from Amsterdam show business mister
Speaker 3: Amsterdam is going to be in the audience, so you
Speaker 3: never thought you were going to break yeah night, and
Speaker 3: it was just this also that wonderful thing and you
Speaker 3: guys obviously had it where succeeding is part of a collective,
Speaker 3: which happens a little bit at SNL, but not really
Speaker 3: because there's never a night where everybody has a great night.
Speaker 1: Totally, that's such an interesting thing.
Speaker 3: I will say a nice way looking back at my
Speaker 3: favorite era of SML, like I think we all look
Speaker 3: back at it like, look, we all crushed every week
Speaker 3: even though we know we didn't, yes, but we allow
Speaker 3: that to be the memory of it. Which was what
Speaker 3: era my I think for me it's thirty six to
Speaker 3: thirty seven to eleven two seven two yeah, yeah, of
Speaker 3: course it's it's it was the greatest freshman class of
Speaker 3: all time. Andy and the Lowland absolutely weeks today is bill?
Speaker 3: I mean that that alone?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really really that was very special and
Speaker 1: weirdly enough, so we were freshmen in two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight and what I would do every single weekend as
Speaker 1: I would go wait on the stand by line. I
Speaker 1: was like a stand by girl. Like I met Bobby
Speaker 1: moynahan on the stand by line Bill Hater came out,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: So high, and that would be weird.
Speaker 1: That is not my memory. He was he seemed to high,
Speaker 1: but it was Bill Hayter, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like and Bobby and they were coming out to say
Speaker 1: hi to us, and I remember I got in. My
Speaker 1: first show was James Franco and Kings of Leon, which
Speaker 1: and I think I was just in shock the whole time.
Speaker 1: And this was when Tina was coming to do Sarah
Speaker 1: Yeah and Sarah Sarah Balin. And then my I think
Speaker 1: second episode was Ann Halfaway and The Killers, and this
Speaker 1: episode was when Kristen did Laurence Weelkshea and I was
Speaker 1: sitting there and I just thought, this is this energy
Speaker 1: is so insane and so wild that like it like
Speaker 1: drove me for the rest of my life. And the
Speaker 1: other thing I remember, and this is this is you,
Speaker 1: was how fucking cool you were when you came out
Speaker 1: for a weekend update and you gave all the interns
Speaker 1: high fives and everyone in the theater was like, it's
Speaker 1: seth Myers. You know what I mean. You came out
Speaker 1: and like frush weekend updates, Weekend Update was incredible and
Speaker 1: I just remember your energy and your vibe and then
Speaker 1: meeting you years later, I was like, that totally tracks
Speaker 1: just from me, like even seeing this man inhabit of space,
Speaker 1: because you set the tone that was like the best vibe,
Speaker 1: best vibe.
Speaker 3: I am thank you, that is I'm so happy you
Speaker 3: mentioned that show because we just had Anne Hathaway on.
Speaker 3: I can't even remember if I just mentioned this on camera.
Speaker 3: It is the only time I remember. When that show
Speaker 3: was over, the audience gave a standing ovation. It was amazing,
Speaker 3: a standing ovation, and the Killers performed again. And The
Speaker 3: Killers performed again. Yeah, and my parents were at that show,
Speaker 3: and I introduced my mom to the Killers, and as
Speaker 3: they walked away, she said very loud and they heard.
Speaker 3: She goes, well, I don't know why they called themself
Speaker 3: of the Killers. They couldn't be nicer boys.
Speaker 2: That it couldn't be nicer.
Speaker 1: They couldn't be a nicer boy, couldn't be.
Speaker 3: Also, though I have a weird shame thing, and this
Speaker 3: is that not being able to let go of a choice.
Speaker 3: I don't think this mattered. We lost the Emmy all
Speaker 3: those years, and let me just say so fucked up
Speaker 3: that year and that went those Sarah Palelin things. That
Speaker 3: is the most I ever felt like we were on
Speaker 3: a winning team. Yes, there was white hot and having
Speaker 3: Tina back, and I felt like we had we understood
Speaker 3: we have to keep out doing ourselves and it was
Speaker 3: so thrilling and so fun and that cast was coming
Speaker 3: into his own and people were everybody walked out. You
Speaker 3: were excited to see. It was nuts and it was
Speaker 3: great at the end of the year. I remember as
Speaker 3: head writer, they you get to pick a sketch to submit.
Speaker 3: I don't think it would have mattered, but I remember
Speaker 3: I didn't pick that one because Lauren thought he picked
Speaker 3: a different one, which was a worst show. But it
Speaker 3: was the one Sarah Palin was actually on right yes,
Speaker 3: which was also incredible.
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 3: That moment was incredible. The rest of the show was
Speaker 3: it was esoteric in a way, whereas the Ann Hathaway
Speaker 3: Show was just banger after banger after Everybody's so funny
Speaker 3: because I remember after we lost, it was like it
Speaker 3: wouldn't matter at I'll forget about this every time it
Speaker 3: comes up with like I wanted to pick that one.
Speaker 2: Wow, So but no, I mean, I feel like Emmy's
Speaker 2: NSNL were in this we I mean, it still is
Speaker 2: in this weird existential place now where like they don't
Speaker 2: quite know what to do with the show or like
Speaker 2: where to place it or how to categorize it. But
Speaker 2: it's like back then, it was like it's like, why
Speaker 2: wouldn't you nominate Kristen and Bill every single thing and
Speaker 2: Andy and Jason like that whole cast. Why wou't you
Speaker 2: nominate all those people in the same league, is like,
Speaker 2: you know, the sitcoms of that day.
Speaker 1: I just think, well, and I've said this to you,
Speaker 1: and this is it doesn't make sense to me that
Speaker 1: there's not a variety performance category, because I think you
Speaker 1: would have an Emmy if there was. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I think it's weird to say, let's
Speaker 1: put these variety performers in with people that are playing
Speaker 1: characters with emotional arcs, because actors, especially like will vote
Speaker 1: for that before they vote for like somebody do. I
Speaker 1: feel as though I with Bowen's George Santos. I've seen
Speaker 1: a journey that I actually went to his, so I'm
Speaker 1: kind of addicted to like the fact that he still
Speaker 1: digs in on Twitter. It's so crazy. I went with
Speaker 1: Twitter and to see if he had comments and on it,
Speaker 1: because I want him to say something about you so
Speaker 1: bad so that I can log onto our Twitter and
Speaker 1: be like, I just want to.
Speaker 2: Say he's in the weeds right now. I don't think
Speaker 2: he has on.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if you has. I just don't
Speaker 1: put anything past him to do the dumbest shit possible.
Speaker 2: Although I mean, what gay Twitter was talking about this
Speaker 2: past week was that like, I mean, you want to
Speaker 2: gay representation in Congress for god, like this fucking slop
Speaker 2: some gay guy found money and then spend it on
Speaker 2: makeup and porn.
Speaker 3: Again. It's really it is always be careful. I always say,
Speaker 3: like I just would just give us one. It's like, well,
Speaker 3: I bet this will shock you. But my other favorite
Speaker 3: memory about that year is when it was over yeah,
Speaker 3: because you know the man between dress and air, Lorne said,
Speaker 3: you know, he gave all his notes and then he said,
Speaker 3: I just want you all to know I feel as though.
Speaker 1: This has been a championship season.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I think we all it like it was.
Speaker 3: Nobody knew what to say because it was Lorne is
Speaker 3: not someone who has moments like that.
Speaker 1: No I do.
Speaker 2: I think that was for me, and again, just everybody
Speaker 2: was so in the pocket that year. It wasn't in
Speaker 2: the pocket season.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, And it was an energy that radiated
Speaker 1: certainly through the city and I guess to everyone watching it,
Speaker 1: but in the comedy community that we were in or
Speaker 1: that we were about to be in, it was really exciting.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Lonely Island. I remember they were like,
Speaker 1: that was really the year I think too that the
Speaker 1: digital shorts started like really popping off. And I remember
Speaker 1: that was like formative, certainly for me, I'm sure for
Speaker 1: you as well, like because there was something there was
Speaker 1: an abandon about it that was like that felt like
Speaker 1: queer to me, and I was hitting me in my
Speaker 1: head and I was like, there's something about the Lonely
Speaker 1: Island that makes me feel like I can do whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck I want. Uh, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I think those had that had so much to do
Speaker 3: with the next twenty years of comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're way more influential than people realize. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I think that even the sketch work of you
Speaker 1: talk about that. I love that Laurence Well Kristen sketch,
Speaker 1: but that was sort of inspired by Ride seventies SNL
Speaker 1: like that could have also worked that anytime, And that was.
Speaker 3: Sort of the magic of Kristin was being this better,
Speaker 3: more modern version of what we But those guys showed
Speaker 3: up and it was, oh no, this is a whole
Speaker 3: new thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is different thing. Yep.
Speaker 2: I mean those seasons were like a perfect little like
Speaker 2: four dimensional tapestry of like this is like past, present,
Speaker 2: future all in one.
Speaker 1: Very cool. It's very weird.
Speaker 3: You guys mentioned Henry Milcher, who is a producer the
Speaker 3: show and obviously went to school with you guys, And
Speaker 3: for me, it's so crazy just realizing now there's this
Speaker 3: whole you guys talking about being college when that season happened,
Speaker 3: and now so many of you and your colleagues have
Speaker 3: come through been guessed on my show. It must be
Speaker 3: so weird to have your moment where the people you
Speaker 3: knew in college are all sort of in culture.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean with Josh and Aaron for Dix, the
Speaker 2: musical going on, that was like I stayed up for
Speaker 2: that upside, stay up for your episode this past month.
Speaker 1: It is this like really it's crazy. That was when
Speaker 1: they were on this show.
Speaker 3: Please I hope you don't take offense to the fact
Speaker 3: that I will listen to my podcast at a not one.
Speaker 1: I will speed it upload.
Speaker 3: Yes, And that was the first time when the four
Speaker 3: of you were talking about something like Nope, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do it, slowed it down because I can't it started
Speaker 3: in the beginning, I was like, this is like everybody.
Speaker 3: It was like in an or if you look down
Speaker 3: in an orchestra pit and everybody with yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It enlightened me to know and love that. The only
Speaker 3: I think that's the only podcast in the last ten
Speaker 3: years that I've been like, I'm gonna listened to it
Speaker 3: said one X, Seth and I are the same.
Speaker 1: Man you were Boonen. But so now I do one
Speaker 1: point seventy five on YouTube. But like I used to
Speaker 1: get on Boonen because I was like, why would you
Speaker 1: do that? Because every comedy is intentional, the speed at
Speaker 1: which we say things as intentional. We talk all the
Speaker 1: time about how caidence is called.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, but now I understand sometimes because you
Speaker 3: are just resetting your own internal cadence to it. So
Speaker 3: because it's also cadence in you know, it was in
Speaker 3: a relative sense in a relative sense to the other people.
Speaker 3: So if you see it all, if you sped up,
Speaker 3: one person created a comedy scene wouldn't make sense. But everybody,
Speaker 3: I will say I in the early days of The Daily,
Speaker 3: I had Michael Barbaro on the show. Yes, and I
Speaker 3: did not realize that anyone could take offense to this,
Speaker 3: but I said, I love The Daily because it's twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: I can listen to it. At one point five and
Speaker 1: it was it was as if I slapped the man.
Speaker 3: But it's not because I've seen him since he's lovely
Speaker 3: and we get I did. Was the first time I
Speaker 3: realized I felt safe. I felt like a safe place.
Speaker 3: And I can tell you guys, just play on it
Speaker 3: at all. Oh yeah, major, this show you got first
Speaker 3: of all, let me say I have this real. The
Speaker 3: only hesitation I had about coming on this show is
Speaker 3: that I feel like your voice is in concert with
Speaker 3: one another are music, And when I listen to your podcasts,
Speaker 3: it is like music. And I have the flattest, most
Speaker 3: nasally voice. I'm working through a cold. I feel like
Speaker 3: your listeners right now are like, who let this out too?
Speaker 3: I feel like you are too, like a classically trained
Speaker 3: musician and I'm a third grader with a recorder who
Speaker 3: is on here like like I have a lot of
Speaker 3: shame for everybody's life.
Speaker 1: This is just to be further from the truth.
Speaker 2: I listen to Family Trips and I go, wow, I
Speaker 2: get two meyers vocal timbers.
Speaker 1: This is my heaven.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you think they're too, because I do
Speaker 2: think we sound You sound so similar in a way
Speaker 2: that is only delightful for me. I go, these are
Speaker 2: two good guys talking in my ear.
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. You're so off base for the okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. We are so we were described by Betty
Speaker 1: gilp and us piccolo and bassoon, and I feel like.
Speaker 2: You've arrived her as a clarinet. Welcome to the orchestra,
Speaker 2: baby or the Betty.
Speaker 1: I mean she's is that your pinnacle guest? She's one
Speaker 1: of them? She was. I haven't I listened when she
Speaker 1: was a guest. You haven't listened to the live one? Was?
Speaker 1: The live one was fun? But like her first episode
Speaker 1: Maggots and Magic, that was like a moment in the
Speaker 1: podcast because we genuinely believe you've had her on your show, right.
Speaker 3: I never have, Oh, you have I know, I'm it
Speaker 3: breaks my heart that I haven't.
Speaker 1: She's just so smart and so great. You should also
Speaker 1: check out her book.
Speaker 2: I think it's time to ask Seth the ones. It's
Speaker 2: literally time, Seth Myers, what is the culture that made
Speaker 2: you say?
Speaker 1: Culture is so?
Speaker 3: I talked to Henry about this beforehand, and this is
Speaker 3: the heartbreaking. I can't believe you literally talked about the
Speaker 3: movie which I should have known, the movie Money Python.
Speaker 1: You know what culture? That was your culture? But in
Speaker 1: and that's fair.
Speaker 3: So my here's my moment because I remember it so clearly.
Speaker 3: I was homesick from school and usually my mom was
Speaker 3: a school teacher. Usually she would take the day off
Speaker 3: and I, for some reason, my dad did not go
Speaker 3: to work one day, you know, when he was a
Speaker 3: businessmanic commuted to Boston. He's like, I'll stay home with you,
Speaker 3: and he went to the Video Story and he rented it.
Speaker 3: He brought it home and obviously it was a movie
Speaker 3: he'd seen, and that the opening credit that was the
Speaker 3: thing mine was there was all of a sudden, they
Speaker 3: just slowly started mentioning a moose in the credits, like
Speaker 3: moose handler. And I remember there was one that was
Speaker 3: Moose's nose wiped by, And for whatever reason, I think
Speaker 3: that's the moment where you go, I don't think I
Speaker 3: ever will, but it would be nice to be in
Speaker 3: a world where I would try to write something back Wow,
Speaker 3: because it's also writing as a kid, when you realize
Speaker 3: writing because that thing of and again that's Python. But
Speaker 3: I loved SNL as a kid, but my parents also
Speaker 3: had watched Python, and it showed on public televisions. We'd
Speaker 3: watch that, and so I kind of liked being the
Speaker 3: kid who we could all talk about SNL sketches. Certainly
Speaker 3: was never looked down my nose at SNL. But I
Speaker 3: also like that I had this other thing which is
Speaker 3: like you guys probably wouldn't, right, Yeah, yeah, the fact
Speaker 3: that that was on it was on PBS, right, that's
Speaker 3: when we saw. Yeah, I think that's probably where the
Speaker 3: states from the beginning, right that, Yeah, Moose's nose wiped
Speaker 3: by is pure ready because as a kid, it's like
Speaker 3: performance is always registered.
Speaker 2: It's a very obvious direct thing. But for you to
Speaker 2: realize that, like, oh, that's writing, like that is a
Speaker 2: joke and it's just words on a screen or whatever, is.
Speaker 1: There is that moment when you realize writing is a thing.
Speaker 1: It's very odd. It's like you things appear on television
Speaker 1: and you're a kid, you kind of just accept it.
Speaker 1: Like I remember watching all these movies and just like
Speaker 1: I'm watching a movie, I don't think about how it
Speaker 1: came to be, it's just in front of me. And
Speaker 1: then you realize there's a creative aspect to it, and
Speaker 1: you're like, how the fuck would I find myself to
Speaker 1: be that person? But that's like a light bulb moment
Speaker 1: for a young person.
Speaker 3: I also think the genius and why that movie, Why
Speaker 3: Life of Brian, why they endure is you make it
Speaker 3: about a thing from a thousand years ago or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: And it's also funny as a kid, you know King Arthur,
Speaker 3: and it's only been presented to you. There's never been
Speaker 3: a patina of comedy on it, right, and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden it is. So it's also the first
Speaker 3: time as a kid you're like, oh, and also you
Speaker 3: can be dumb about all this, yes, like you could
Speaker 3: tell jokes about the idea of Holy Grail is also
Speaker 3: inherently super sun right, Yeah, and we've been saying this
Speaker 3: for years now, but I really feel like dumb, frivolous
Speaker 3: shit is back like between like spam a lot being
Speaker 3: back shocked to which I love, I love shuck and
Speaker 3: Josh n Aaron doing Dix is like a perfect example
Speaker 3: of just like, let's just make jewelry for people's heads
Speaker 3: instead of like making like these gorgeous embellished adornments of
Speaker 3: like importance for people. I feel like there's it's great
Speaker 3: when something's important, especially in comedy, I guess, but like.
Speaker 1: But we flew a little too close to the sun.
Speaker 1: Then as a generation, I think weepy comedy. By the way,
Speaker 1: I saw the movie May December. Oh oh my god,
Speaker 1: it is a wild. It is a wild. Natalie is
Speaker 1: the best she's ever been, Like I'm telling you when
Speaker 1: she crushes it like she's and there's obviously no debate,
Speaker 1: but obviously one of the best. We have Julianne's cuckle
Speaker 1: bird in it, like she has a lisp, which has
Speaker 1: to be I'm looking at you, the audience, you have
Speaker 1: to go. And then Charles Melton from Riverdale like Deliver
Speaker 1: is one of the best supporting performances of the year.
Speaker 1: I think the script is naha sah and what I
Speaker 1: will say the funniest thing is is the Golden Globes.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. Maybe they feel this is
Speaker 1: the way forward for it, but it's being categorized as
Speaker 1: a comedy, and I'm like, wait, I'm sorry, No, that's
Speaker 1: the comedy of that is that you think this movie
Speaker 1: passes as a comedy. People might disagree because I guess
Speaker 1: you could call it like a very very very dark satire,
Speaker 1: like a black back, black black black comedy, but like
Speaker 1: not really.
Speaker 3: I can't believe in the reboot of The Golden Globes,
Speaker 3: the first thing they did was say, we're gonna say
Speaker 3: what your movies are. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because that was always like they it was just the
Speaker 3: most corrupt, you know, category Hunting or Joe, And maybe
Speaker 3: they were like, that's who we are, and that's how.
Speaker 1: People like, Yeah, maybe they're just not afraid of it.
Speaker 1: But to hear that May December was going to be
Speaker 1: a comedy days after I had seen it, it shook
Speaker 1: me to my core. And what I will say is
Speaker 1: I think I get the impulse for someone that's done
Speaker 1: really hard comedy and stuff like that, like a comedian,
Speaker 1: to want to show and express another side I get that,
Speaker 1: but also like I just feel sometimes it's a shame
Speaker 1: when there are no laughs in something that's meant to
Speaker 1: be like a comedy, like and that's why I feel
Speaker 1: I hope you're right, because I want to say, like
Speaker 1: stupid never left, and Stupid's always been there, but like
Speaker 1: it kind of did.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like stupid doesn't get Like what a
Speaker 2: lot of people were saying about DICKX was that they
Speaker 2: were like, this is beyond critique, Like we don't know
Speaker 2: how to like the reviewers were like, we don't really
Speaker 2: know what to rate this. Yeah, yeah, right, And I
Speaker 2: feel like there is something about comedy that's like outside
Speaker 2: of like any kind of criticism in a way, in
Speaker 2: a way that is unfortunate because I think a lot
Speaker 2: of comedy, like The Police are destroy Boys had their
Speaker 2: movie came out and like a lot of the reviews
Speaker 2: are like, this was great forty out of one hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. It's that is the weird.
Speaker 3: I mean again, it's a reminder why there's a poison
Speaker 3: to putting a number on it. Sometimes you read a
Speaker 3: thing and all it will be is positive yep, And then.
Speaker 1: When you look at the number and you're like, now,
Speaker 1: what what is that? All right? Yeah exactly, And they
Speaker 1: do that with comedies all the time.
Speaker 3: Please don't destroy has the thing. They'll still never pass
Speaker 3: up the chance to tie it to SNL of course,
Speaker 3: of course, so that is the thing they if you
Speaker 3: are an SNL person, And it feels like, even though
Speaker 3: Lauren had nothing to do with it, like they will
Speaker 3: and I was noticing. I'm like, oh, even these people
Speaker 3: really like it, or like they want to tell.
Speaker 2: You they know these are guys on us, yes and yes,
Speaker 2: and then put it in the same cluster of films
Speaker 2: as like Tomato's doing the Ladies Man movie, Like it's
Speaker 2: not the same thing anyway I did.
Speaker 3: We were looking for something just again, we're starting to
Speaker 3: shut off our brains. My wife and I either today
Speaker 3: and because i'd listen to you guys do a list.
Speaker 3: I have not since I saw in theaters watched my
Speaker 3: best friend's wedding.
Speaker 1: Oh wasn't it great?
Speaker 3: And I feel like, you, guys, the thing that you
Speaker 3: forgot to make and is so much When was the
Speaker 3: era of I'm doing comedy meant I'm gonna fall down
Speaker 3: seven times?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. She's constantly on her back.
Speaker 3: And constantly falling down. And then I think even when
Speaker 3: Rupert Everett shows up, he falls down. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of like that was an error where people would look
Speaker 3: at you when you weren't supposed to be seen, and
Speaker 3: you would you would be so taken aback that you
Speaker 3: would you would just fall a lot of falling in that.
Speaker 1: She makes everything easy in that even the constant falling down.
Speaker 1: A lesser actress, people would be like, watch you have
Speaker 1: fallen down so much? Oh, but yeah, everything that is
Speaker 1: the ease of it.
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a generation of let's just say
Speaker 2: actress who like I've heard anecdotally from people that are like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: this actor like across different projects, the same actor has
Speaker 2: pitched multiple times to different writers. What if I fell
Speaker 2: into I will I'll tell you, I'll tell you who
Speaker 2: it is off Mike, But it's the same act legendary,
Speaker 2: a list actress who has been in every movie that
Speaker 2: you love, has for multiple movies, been like, I think
Speaker 2: the scene is fine. I think it'd be better if
Speaker 2: I fell into You're gonna love the answer.
Speaker 3: I'd like to make our camera guesses and then you
Speaker 3: don't have to say who it is. Okay, please next
Speaker 3: episode say whether or not we're right.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay. Well I will also say one of
Speaker 1: my favorite stories is when I was at n YU
Speaker 1: studying writing in my sitcom class, like this woman had
Speaker 1: written on a sitcom that starred It was one of
Speaker 1: those like first name sitcoms in the nineties, and she
Speaker 1: said that the actress came into the writer's room one
Speaker 1: day and said, there's just too much conflict in the episodes?
Speaker 1: Can I just come in and jump on the bed.
Speaker 1: And they had to explain to her that in her
Speaker 1: half hour sitcom, which needs a story and conflict to
Speaker 1: create comedy and all the things she really wants, she
Speaker 1: can't just come in and jump on again. I know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I do.
Speaker 3: I remember Fred, when he was pitching Los of Spookies
Speaker 3: to me, was saying that he wanted to open it.
Speaker 1: Do you know this.
Speaker 3: He wanted to open the first episode by saying, because
Speaker 3: Fred had this theory that conflict is over.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 3: He was like, I think we're I think we're post contact,
Speaker 3: which is a very funny Fred idea, and he wanted
Speaker 3: to start it by him sitting there and him Fred
Speaker 3: arms in this show is called Los of Spookies.
Speaker 1: We just want you to nothing bad's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so sweet everything everything's going to turn out fine
Speaker 3: and we don't ever want you to worry when you
Speaker 3: watch this show. I think Basket it was such a
Speaker 3: funny idea because of course lots of Spookies is nothing
Speaker 3: bad happened. But it was really funny to be like,
Speaker 3: we just want you to know a lot of shows
Speaker 3: right now because even comedies right like bad things started
Speaker 3: happening in comedies all the time.
Speaker 1: It's like, yep, this isn't that that's so funny because
Speaker 1: we're working on something together for us, and in the
Speaker 1: thing that we're doing, we say, you never worry about
Speaker 1: the friendship, don't worry, don't always going to be friends?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know why that's like a huge
Speaker 2: disclaimer that we have to put in there. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: it feels like who are we doing that for? For us,
Speaker 2: for them, for the network? Like what is that for
Speaker 2: for everybody? Because I think it is pretty ingrained at
Speaker 2: this point that it's like it's not like we used
Speaker 2: to watch sitcoms like it used to be like a
Speaker 2: family matters, like a fresh prince thing where it was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's always gonna be fine, yeah, you know, but now
Speaker 2: we're not quite as reassured. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that it's also that thing of like us
Speaker 1: wanting to be clear about the fact that, like, if
Speaker 1: we do something it's gonna be comedy, don't it's not
Speaker 1: going to do that thing where it's like I look
Speaker 1: over my shoulder at boone in one episode and a
Speaker 1: silent teer rolls down my face because I'm concerned about
Speaker 1: the deterioration of who we are, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: whereas which I think we've done, We've seen like I'm
Speaker 1: tired of and sad and dark, but God blessed those shows.
Speaker 2: But God blessed there was.
Speaker 3: Now I feel like, right a lot of comedies we're
Speaker 3: in this sort of gritty comedy area era. I feel
Speaker 3: like ten years ago, I remember talking to my friends
Speaker 3: that there should be a different category called whimsy that
Speaker 3: was not because there was a there was a brand
Speaker 3: of comedy for a while where there.
Speaker 1: Was no expectation.
Speaker 3: They were laughs, but it certainly wasn't a drama. But
Speaker 3: it just sort of lived in this middle where it
Speaker 3: was just it's look, it's whimsy.
Speaker 1: It's jumping on the bed.
Speaker 2: It's the bed.
Speaker 3: Did you have when you were at NYU? Did you
Speaker 3: ever take a class taught by Eric Gilliland?
Speaker 1: Eric Gilliland, I don't think so. Was he in dramatic writing.
Speaker 1: He had written for Roseanne, Okay, so he. I think
Speaker 1: it was like a visiting teacher. The most iconic teacher
Speaker 1: we had. His name was Charlie Rubin. He had written
Speaker 1: for Seinfeld, SNL and Simpsons, and I remember it was
Speaker 1: like three iconic essays and every every every like straight
Speaker 1: dude that I was in college with was like Seinfeld, Simpsons,
Speaker 1: SNL baby, and like having to learn that. Of course
Speaker 1: SNL was like deep and Seinfeld. My dad was like
Speaker 1: a huge Seinfeld fan. But the Simpsons was this thing
Speaker 1: that like felt like, were you a Simpsons kid?
Speaker 2: I was a Simpsons kid, and then going to NYU
Speaker 2: felt completely alienated by all the Simpsons quoting that was
Speaker 2: going on around. I thought, I loved this show and
Speaker 2: I guess I know nothing about it. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 2: taking me this like re I re tutored myself into
Speaker 2: this idea that like, oh, I have always loved the
Speaker 2: Simpsons just as much as anyone else It's just it
Speaker 2: was this competition to see who like loved the Simpsons
Speaker 2: the most anyway.
Speaker 1: But Charles Reuben, No, I'm just saying like he was
Speaker 1: an iconic teacher, and I remember those three shows like
Speaker 1: set him up as being that way, and so I
Speaker 1: mean saying that he had that background meant that he
Speaker 1: had like disciples. Yeah, he had the full attention.
Speaker 3: Can I review a movie that i've Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: I will watch the whole it's The Holdovers the Yeah
Speaker 3: I'm hearing, which I really enjoyed the first half of.
Speaker 3: But GIAMMANI best Friend's wedding.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yes he plays he works at the hotel.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Wow.
Speaker 3: And so I'm very excited thanks to you. I do
Speaker 3: believe I'm going to ask him about his time on my.
Speaker 1: You you should, and I'm happy you brought it back
Speaker 1: because you know what clip I often go to and
Speaker 1: watch again and again and again on YouTube from that
Speaker 1: movie It's not pick Me too, as Me Love Me,
Speaker 1: which should always get the credit as it walked so
Speaker 1: that Meredith Greg could run. Sure, is it when they're
Speaker 1: on the boat. It's when they're on the boat. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Kimmy says, just you love someone, you say it, you
Speaker 1: say it right then out loud, this is myrmot, it's
Speaker 1: Lauren lor. Otherwise, the moment just passes, you buy, passes,
Speaker 1: you buy, and then the moment they go, I have
Speaker 1: to say something. And this is again, this is praise
Speaker 1: for the two.
Speaker 3: I believe you are the way I would describe you
Speaker 3: your witnesses, like when you see things like it's so
Speaker 3: I was like the backup dancers at Usher are so
Speaker 3: lucky you were at their ship. I kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 3: but like you know what I mean, Like, you guys
Speaker 3: see things and then you talk about things. So I
Speaker 3: because you mentioned that quote on your Julia Roberts episode,
Speaker 3: and so I think I would have missed how good
Speaker 3: that scene was.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 3: But because you were talked about it, I want like,
Speaker 3: oh wow, Yeah. I sometimes could allow myself to maybe
Speaker 3: get a little jaded during a romantic comedy and then I.
Speaker 1: Realized, oh no, this is the it's an excellent one.
Speaker 3: This is the But again, like you need these moments
Speaker 3: to like weave it all together, and if you don't
Speaker 3: have this really special moment, God was up to his
Speaker 3: tricks that day too, because the way that her hair
Speaker 3: is blowing.
Speaker 1: It was like they said, we're gonna set up a
Speaker 1: perfect day, yeah for this shot. And I have to say,
Speaker 1: like that movie, I think there's like, is there anything
Speaker 1: problematic about it?
Speaker 2: Even like it's not like other movies of that.
Speaker 3: Why when people start singing at a restaurant it's all
Speaker 3: of a sudden scored with a backing shot for sure.
Speaker 1: Problematic problematic?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was It's very safely not problematic
Speaker 3: at all. No, and an iconic Chicago movie, iconic, would
Speaker 3: you say so? And I think it is an iconic
Speaker 3: I got movie you've never seen?
Speaker 2: She is so good?
Speaker 1: Where was her Oscar nomination? Met her exactly one time?
Speaker 3: And you know what, I should answer this question because
Speaker 3: sometimes I do a Q and A at my show
Speaker 3: before the last act, and sometimes.
Speaker 1: People will say, are you ever starstruck?
Speaker 3: And this is really one of them. I was I
Speaker 3: hosted an Emmys and I was backstage with a couple
Speaker 3: of writers and at the Emmys there was just a
Speaker 3: lot of calming and going between the wings and this
Speaker 3: was she had a mini series.
Speaker 1: On Amazon.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, and that was great. By the way,
Speaker 3: she was just sort of racing by and she just
Speaker 3: stopped and put a hand on Myra and say, oh
Speaker 3: my god, you're doing such a great job. And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, thank you. And then she
Speaker 3: went and it was just like I didn't have enough
Speaker 3: time to be in the moment of Wow, that was
Speaker 3: thrilling that. I think, you know, you do enough SNL,
Speaker 3: you host a talk show, You think, oh, who can
Speaker 3: you meet? That would actually and she's something else. It
Speaker 3: did that happen with Taylor Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the last time I saw Taylor, I made
Speaker 2: an ass of myself and I was very anxious and
Speaker 2: she called me out on it.
Speaker 1: It was her and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 2: I go, I texted you in August a mega mix
Speaker 2: on YouTube of your songs and I'm so sorry, and
Speaker 2: she goes, what And I go, I was on ketamine
Speaker 2: and I'm really really sorry. I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2: And she was like, and then I apologized to Travis
Speaker 2: about something, and then she goes, I think this is
Speaker 2: just your anxiety, like, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1: Bye. It was.
Speaker 2: I think there are moments like that where I go, oh,
Speaker 2: working at SNL and doing a show like this, it
Speaker 2: makes me worse at talking to famous people.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it does, and you feel that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think I'm going through like some
Speaker 2: Joseph Campbellian thing where I'm like gonna circle back to
Speaker 2: like being okay, But right now I'm in a weird weird.
Speaker 3: Maybe ten hopefully I haven't told this story too much,
Speaker 3: but ten twelve years ago, maybe she'd hosted SNL. My
Speaker 3: wife and I were somewhere at maybe that time one
Speaker 3: hundred event, and she was there and went up and
Speaker 3: said hello, My wife's a big fan of hers. And
Speaker 3: we said, oh, we're going to Nashville. We had never been,
Speaker 3: and she said, oh my God, give me your email.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you where to go. And I gave my
Speaker 3: email to Taylor Swift and two days later, the longest,
Speaker 3: most helpful email I would say, eight mini paragraphs about
Speaker 3: different places.
Speaker 1: To go in Nashville.
Speaker 2: And this is still you know, she's not Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: of today, but she's Taylor Swift there was at the
Speaker 2: time when she has established Taylor Swift. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean some people also, like I've noticed that when
Speaker 1: people are like, let me make recommendations, and they mean that.
Speaker 1: Some people really love to do that. They're like it's
Speaker 1: like a power people have. I forget the name of
Speaker 1: every restaurant I ever go to.
Speaker 3: I also don't want the burden of people. I don't
Speaker 3: want them to put their vacation in my hands.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, not like I could.
Speaker 2: I couldn't possibly project my interests onto yours. Is it
Speaker 2: because your question, your own taste or their reaction to
Speaker 2: my own taste?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: So it's insecurity, Yes, it's insecurity. That's one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: My dad, my parents gotten it down. I live in
Speaker 3: the West Village. My dad said he's staying at a
Speaker 3: hotel nearby with my mom, and he said, we're gonna
Speaker 3: have lunch with your brother. I'm like, great. He goes,
Speaker 3: are there good places to have lunch? Panic in town?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there are tons a million place. It's
Speaker 1: New York City.
Speaker 3: Don't make me tell you.
Speaker 1: But could you say even one? No?
Speaker 3: I couldn't say no. Well, Also, Mike, because my dad
Speaker 3: is to his I guess if you think honesty is
Speaker 3: a virtue, we'll tell you.
Speaker 1: What he thought.
Speaker 3: Okay, so then you're just protecting yourself protected. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but you know the tricky one, which brings me a
Speaker 3: little bit of shame. Is.
Speaker 1: People always ask me about answer.
Speaker 3: I am, and it's that weird thing where you say,
Speaker 3: I haven't lived there for twenty five years, and when
Speaker 3: I lived there with twenty five years ago, I had
Speaker 3: no money and so I don't actually and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like three sentence ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just not they had a different government, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: Like yeah, well.
Speaker 1: Bowen, I'll just say, we gotta go to the Soho house.
Speaker 1: Bowen will go to every international Stowho house. You are
Speaker 1: their number one game.
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 2: It's only because I don't know where Berlin.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've never been here before. I don't know
Speaker 1: where to go. Let's go to the soho Is food
Speaker 1: there at the German Stufho house.
Speaker 3: It's oh, you haven't had Mexican until you at the
Speaker 3: German house.
Speaker 1: I want to have like a membership somewhere, but I
Speaker 1: don't know where because then, like I feel like you
Speaker 1: get clocked sometimes, like okay, so they're not supposed to
Speaker 1: clock you, no, no, no, not clocked in terms of
Speaker 1: like we see who you are. It's just like I
Speaker 1: feel like people are like, oh, you remember there, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I know, but that's part of
Speaker 1: the exchange.
Speaker 3: I went to Berlin once with some ICINL people and
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you the name of ansnal person
Speaker 3: who still works there, who rocked so hard in Berlin,
Speaker 3: and it's gonna blow your mind. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 3: the name Eric Kenward. Oh, Eric Kenward r. Last choice, right,
Speaker 3: It's not totally unsurprising, yes, but Eric Kenward. We were
Speaker 3: out in Berlin. Everywhere we went, we would be at
Speaker 3: sort of underground bars. It would be three in the
Speaker 3: morning and we would say, are we're gonna go? He's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna i'ma go check out another place, just like
Speaker 3: he would have gone to the bar and met some
Speaker 3: other German.
Speaker 2: And he is because he's very on top of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we put together person, very put together.
Speaker 3: Person, and he a whole different version of him came
Speaker 3: out in Berlin and one night we went to a
Speaker 3: night club in Berlin and the next morning he goes,
Speaker 3: I think I left my passport at the club.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And it was the funniest thing because it was, you know,
Speaker 3: ten am, and we went back like a German nightclub
Speaker 3: at ten am looked like there was no no It
Speaker 3: was like the amount of locks on the doors. It's like,
Speaker 3: this might not open again ever a day. It doesn't
Speaker 3: look it looks like a condemned And I'll bring it
Speaker 3: back to one of the credits you mentioned. I thank
Speaker 3: you very much for doing that New Year's Eve. So
Speaker 3: I was in the film Newars Eve. It was then
Speaker 3: my final film.
Speaker 1: It's on Delta. By the way, you can watch it
Speaker 1: on Delta almost.
Speaker 3: You know what I will say, I have I've been
Speaker 3: in the kind of movies that I have seen on
Speaker 3: the back of seats where people then flip no, you
Speaker 3: still get residentied. I think if they started, I get
Speaker 3: a resist. So one of my co stars in that
Speaker 3: movie is a guy named Till Schweger who is a
Speaker 3: German actor. He was in Gloria's Bastard yep. And he
Speaker 3: had said to me, if you're ever in Germany, here's
Speaker 3: my number, and I assume you know, I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna see me.
Speaker 1: We worked.
Speaker 3: It was like three days we worked on that movie,
Speaker 3: and then I'm in Germany. I'm like and he told
Speaker 3: me I'm a huge start in Germany. And so I
Speaker 3: text Till Schweiger and I'm like, han with like five friends,
Speaker 3: and he goes, oh my god, where are you. I'm
Speaker 3: like here, he goes, come over. So he went over
Speaker 3: and he was the nicest. He said, I've got a
Speaker 3: bunch of bikes.
Speaker 1: We'll get it.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll get bikes. And he's the guy who took
Speaker 3: us this night club. And by the way, he was
Speaker 3: like everywhere you went he heard people be like this
Speaker 3: is like everybody even on bikes, people like so and so. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he's like, come out on my boat there. So kenra
Speaker 3: loses his passport and we get on till Schweger's boat
Speaker 3: and uh, Ken was like, I think I gotta go
Speaker 3: to the embassy or you know, because we gotta fly
Speaker 3: Andti it's like, what happened. I'm like his left his
Speaker 3: passport at the club last night. He's like yeah, hold
Speaker 3: on second, and he just like I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: it's yeah, is it Schweger? My friend did Kenvid is
Speaker 3: a passports?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Good guy and he's like yeah, they have it. He
Speaker 3: just like call like new like he had like the
Speaker 3: phone number to like club owners in Berlin.
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
Speaker 3: And it was immediately like it'll be at your hotel.
Speaker 3: So that was that was a lot of you know what,
Speaker 3: I will say, I did not enjoy my time on
Speaker 3: film sets. I felt very out of my depths.
Speaker 1: Okay, but there's it was a great experience. Who is
Speaker 1: your wife?
Speaker 3: And that Jessica Bill, So that's a nice thing just
Speaker 3: as a credit. But the other couple was Till Schweger
Speaker 3: and Sarah Paulson. Oh, so that was it was a
Speaker 3: really nice foursome.
Speaker 1: And uh Marshall.
Speaker 3: It was Garry Marshall. Gary Marshall, who I love. I
Speaker 3: loved him so much and he he was a Northwestern guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I remember one are the days I had a
Speaker 3: scene where I was gonna run down the hallway because
Speaker 3: you know, Jessica's water had broken.
Speaker 1: I do not remember her character's name. I apologize.
Speaker 3: I was run down the hallway. I was gonna bump
Speaker 3: in an old lady and apologize to her. And I
Speaker 3: remember Gary came up with you.
Speaker 4: He goes, I want you to think of your favorite
Speaker 4: teacher you ever had, and whatever her name was. When
Speaker 4: you bump into this lady, you're gonna say I'm sorry, missus,
Speaker 4: whatever her name was, and she's gonna watch it, and
Speaker 4: she's gonna say, look at it.
Speaker 3: He remembers me anyway.
Speaker 1: It's so sweet.
Speaker 3: And then end of the day we run along, have
Speaker 3: to cut the scene. No, but he comes in, he goes,
Speaker 3: I'm cutting the scene. Will you promised me you're gonna
Speaker 3: call her?
Speaker 1: Oh you did not?
Speaker 3: I think also the thing that I had never had
Speaker 3: that to tell her. I'm like, I'm pretty sure she's long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't have a scary thought of like
Speaker 1: because your favorite teachers when you were young might have
Speaker 1: they old now, or you'd see them and they would
Speaker 1: look like so different. I'm scared later you to bring
Speaker 1: it to that. I had to bring it there, you
Speaker 1: know what. I was looking at the New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: thing and there's so many stars.
Speaker 3: Michelle and none of us met each other because it
Speaker 3: was everything was like silent. It wasn't like one of
Speaker 3: those movies where we all meet.
Speaker 1: Up at the end, so you're not in your future.
Speaker 1: You don't see more on camera act I do not,
Speaker 1: and I feel great.
Speaker 3: I had a moment I remember where I decided I
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be I wasn't gonna do that anymore.
Speaker 1: And I was so the relief I felt. It was
Speaker 1: so lovely. Well, we had a part for you.
Speaker 3: I big, big movie, any big movie with you two,
Speaker 3: if it's the case where I get to play.
Speaker 1: It was like, you know the one we're talking about, Well, actually,
Speaker 1: what are you a role?
Speaker 2: That's what I was going on. It's like, I think
Speaker 2: this is just a challenge.
Speaker 1: I have to say your Gary just now, you're Gary
Speaker 1: Marshall just now was unbelievable. Put a camera on you there.
Speaker 1: That's an for the bike.
Speaker 3: I have a perfect level of impersonation for my current
Speaker 3: which is very undercooked, but like grabbing the essence of Yes.
Speaker 3: There was a moment in time where the beginnings or
Speaker 3: the idea of a Steffan script was being discussed when
Speaker 3: a millennium bill write one. And this was not a
Speaker 3: scene that's ever written, but I did have a pitch
Speaker 3: for myself and Steffan, which was because I knew it
Speaker 3: was going to be Steffan and James Franco, you know,
Speaker 3: whatever whoever his It wasn't going to be me and Steffan.
Speaker 3: But you figure in, So I figured in. So I said,
Speaker 3: here's how I think it should start. It should start
Speaker 3: with Stefan when we get update, and then when it's over,
Speaker 3: you know, and once again I'm so disappointed that as
Speaker 3: the city correspondent he did not bring whatever St. Patricks
Speaker 3: State tips, and he said, look, jamake it.
Speaker 1: Up for you.
Speaker 3: Just come out with me one night, Just come out
Speaker 3: have a night me and you together as Stefan's New York.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, all right, one night, and then you
Speaker 3: would just do these super fast cuts of he and
Speaker 3: I and all these crazy clubs. That would be the
Speaker 3: opening montage, and then it would end with me in
Speaker 3: a body bag and Stefan would say He's dead, and
Speaker 3: then title like then the splash stuff on the movie,
Speaker 3: and then it would be about him following, you.
Speaker 2: Know, that would be that is the most beautiful bridge
Speaker 2: out of I thought it was a world bridge.
Speaker 1: That is so funny, and honestly, fifteen years before they
Speaker 1: would have made that movie, it was Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that was a real Bill had a good sense of
Speaker 1: because again it was still pristine to have a has
Speaker 1: no character.
Speaker 3: That also, that was the greatest gift to me as
Speaker 3: far as I mean, I thought my job was just
Speaker 3: to be Stefan's foil. And then very slowly him and
Speaker 3: Malaney wrote this. It was my romantic company.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it really developed into something gorgeous. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a moment in culture. Yeah, that was that
Speaker 1: was incredible. We both it was his last.
Speaker 3: Bill's last show was that getting married to Andre Cooper,
Speaker 3: and we had me saving me the wedding and we
Speaker 3: villa and I ran off stage, or he ran off,
Speaker 3: and then I followed him, and then it went to
Speaker 3: the pre tape and then Bill and I were backed
Speaker 3: age right outside the control room wardrobe if you can picture,
Speaker 3: and we're watching a pre tape and now he's wearing
Speaker 3: a veil and we're holding hands. And it was Bill's
Speaker 3: last show, and it was Sidigus's last show and friend's
Speaker 3: last show, I think, and so and the last the
Speaker 3: previous year had been Andy and Wiggs. So for me,
Speaker 3: end of the era. I also know I'm leaving that
Speaker 3: year at the host late night and Bill and I
Speaker 3: are holding hands and we're both like starting to cry.
Speaker 3: And I was so funny because I remember I was
Speaker 3: getting married a few months later, and I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't cry at my real wedding.
Speaker 1: Did you I did that?
Speaker 3: But it was yes, oh yes, but it's happy Capricorn.
Speaker 3: I'm a real happy crier.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I rarely cry out of sadness. I will I'm a
Speaker 3: happy I mean, one of the great things in life
Speaker 3: is for me is like telling people how much you
Speaker 3: love him?
Speaker 1: How much? I mean, do you? That is so wonderful.
Speaker 1: I think if I've ever cried, it's been happy thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever cried for a sad thing
Speaker 1: on here on here. Yeah, I've definitely cried for that.
Speaker 2: You have, I have.
Speaker 1: I have a nice you have a beautiful range of
Speaker 1: range of emotion. I've tried to cry, not even tried
Speaker 1: to cry, but like I realized the other day, so
Speaker 1: I got on like Xippro this year, and I feel
Speaker 1: like it's made me unable to cry, and it's been
Speaker 1: hard to not have that because I do identify as
Speaker 1: a crier. So then I thought, maybe I'll get off
Speaker 1: of it. I missed crying. And then you realize, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not the reason of it. You might cry all
Speaker 1: the time. Can you just lower the doors? So I
Speaker 1: get like two, yeah, good cries. Do you know what
Speaker 1: weekend update character? I always feel like should have come back,
Speaker 1: and it came in her last year. And you know
Speaker 1: who I'm going to talk about. I know you're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about flirting expert Rebecca LaRue. I mean, it's unbelievable,
Speaker 1: it's the I think it was her best work ever. Well,
Speaker 1: I I'll just say here's how good it was. It was.
Speaker 3: While it was going on, I had a moment where
Speaker 3: I thought, am I gonna fuck Christy?
Speaker 1: It literally is so.
Speaker 3: It's so so real, real, so real, And it was
Speaker 3: such an indictment the kind of girls that I was
Speaker 3: into before I met my wife. Was like having this
Speaker 3: weird flashbacks like this is nice. She's making me feel nice.
Speaker 2: This is so for me because that's why it's so funny,
Speaker 2: is because that is a person in the world and
Speaker 2: that's how they are. But I gotta say, so, you
Speaker 2: can access dress rehearsal footage for every single episode that's
Speaker 2: ever aired. I love this and I was so curious.
Speaker 2: I was like, how did Rebecca LaRue play a dress?
Speaker 1: Oh? I don't even know. Do you not remember? I
Speaker 1: have no memory.
Speaker 2: I went back and watched the dress version of that
Speaker 2: and I read the script completely different, almost completely, and like,
Speaker 2: it didn't And I'm gonna say, and I think it's
Speaker 2: okay that I say this didn't necessarily play a dress
Speaker 2: and It's one of those things where I go, that's
Speaker 2: amazing that they're like, we know what to change, we
Speaker 2: know how to fix this, and by the time it
Speaker 2: got to air it was perfect.
Speaker 1: How would you characterize the changes? It was just like
Speaker 1: she didn't open her legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dress she did it. I think she like underplayed it.
Speaker 2: I think she was quite too long and like it
Speaker 2: didn't have a breaking moment by the end, like it
Speaker 2: was just they really really fixed it up by it.
Speaker 3: I also I'm at risk of saying, well, that was
Speaker 3: the Wig era where she knew it would go through
Speaker 3: no matter what.
Speaker 1: But that was never her style.
Speaker 3: Sure, but that wasn't she never counted on anything right,
Speaker 3: So right, I don't even think it was a case
Speaker 3: of her being like I'm going to pace myself. I
Speaker 3: do think it was a case of her being smart enough.
Speaker 3: Probably wrote it with Kent Games. I'm gonna guess where
Speaker 3: they knew how to fix it. Yeah, and that is
Speaker 3: I mean so early on when I was doing update alone. Shoemaker,
Speaker 3: who's my producer, my Shreemaker fast he now claims that
Speaker 3: he maybe made this up to give me a note
Speaker 3: because he said, look, they've done some testing on you
Speaker 3: as a solo update host. And one of the things
Speaker 3: they said is they don't like when you don't like
Speaker 3: the guest. The viewer doesn't like when I'm mad, And
Speaker 3: I will say I think that was sort of a
Speaker 3: bygone comedy move just being frustrated, Like if I was
Speaker 3: always frustrated with Stefan, it would have been less fun.
Speaker 3: And so I gave myself permission to just enjoy. Yes,
Speaker 3: And with that said, there's still so many moments knowing
Speaker 3: that they were dress rehearsals of all those characters where
Speaker 3: they were so capable, that group of people was so
Speaker 3: capable of still being surprising two hours later.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that is the thing where, like I think
Speaker 2: Alex Bayz pointed this out, like the most flattering thing
Speaker 2: that ever came out of me doing the Iceberg was
Speaker 2: like Henry was telling me that Alex Bayes was telling
Speaker 2: Henry that, like, the Iceberg is so crazy because it's
Speaker 2: usually Colin or Seth or Jay or whoever's at the
Speaker 2: update desk being like, hey, come on, hey, come on, guests,
Speaker 2: like stop doing that. But this was a reversal where
Speaker 2: it was Colin being like come on, like like teasing
Speaker 2: something out of the guests being like, no, once you
Speaker 2: give us something, won't you talk about like the Titanic
Speaker 2: thinking but for a little bit. And it's the guests
Speaker 2: who's like, no, I'm not going to do that. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, like I that had never occurred to
Speaker 2: me and Anna dress and that like that's what we
Speaker 2: were doing. But like that is the thing that like
Speaker 2: that's another ingreen to think about. Asking No, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: whoever's at the update desk is like trying to like
Speaker 2: tamp down the fun of whatever's going on with the
Speaker 2: guests or something.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, but like people will say, how did you
Speaker 3: not laugh during stuffan? And I was saying, I think
Speaker 3: I laughed all the time. Yeah, I think that was
Speaker 3: part of the fun of it. When you go back,
Speaker 3: like I allowed myself. One of my friends Neil Brannan said,
Speaker 3: he goes. I like to think of update as the
Speaker 3: last place anyone can get their clients booked. Like everyone has,
Speaker 3: they've already they've had just like look morning, Joe will
Speaker 3: not have gone back. He's a persona non grada, you know,
Speaker 3: but they think, you know, if we could just he promises,
Speaker 3: And so that was another funny way to think about it,
Speaker 3: which this is the last place with any of these
Speaker 3: people can be on it.
Speaker 1: That is such a good frame. Yep, totally. Well, I
Speaker 1: think it's time. It might be time. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: This seth is our one minute segment we do. It's
Speaker 1: where we sort of drag something on culture for let's
Speaker 1: say a minute, and we said, I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: threw out. I have something, and it's it's not to
Speaker 1: attack London. It's to make an observation again about something
Speaker 1: I've said in the past, because let me just get
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is Matt Rounders. I don't think so many
Speaker 2: times starts.
Speaker 1: I don't think so many of the showers in London. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've come for the water closets and the situations with
Speaker 1: the toilets being in a separate room. I have a
Speaker 1: huge bruise on my ass right now. I collapsed in
Speaker 1: the shower. I didn't even fell. I collapsed. It was
Speaker 1: more than what Julia Roberts does for comedic effect. It
Speaker 1: was a full collapse. Okay, I have to tell you
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. I appreciate that the shower
Speaker 1: and the toilet were in the same room. But when
Speaker 1: the room is too small, that means the shower is
Speaker 1: too small as well. The shower too small, I collapse
Speaker 1: the bruise on my as seconds. I was, of course,
Speaker 1: because this is the horniest time of the year, dming
Speaker 1: with people about potentially hooking up with them in the
Speaker 1: days prior to Thanksgiving because people get super horny on
Speaker 1: the DMS this time of year. I told you this
Speaker 1: on your show. Yes, I can't hook up with anyone
Speaker 1: right now because of the ganger tax bruise on my ass.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 1: I would show you, but I just don't think everyone
Speaker 1: wants to see it.
Speaker 2: I have to say it's bad, it's limiting, and it's
Speaker 2: because of the size of the shower.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. The way we're set up
Speaker 1: to fail in London in these certain rooms with the plumbing,
Speaker 1: that's so scary. I have to tell you. It was
Speaker 1: just a thing where I was like in the shower
Speaker 1: and I was just like, okay, well if I can't
Speaker 1: really move It's like, you know, when there's like too
Speaker 1: much room you have fun in the shower and you're
Speaker 1: kind of moving around.
Speaker 2: I don't move around that much, stand right, on what's
Speaker 2: your shower style?
Speaker 1: You stand right under the water and.
Speaker 2: Then I'll reach and grab a bottle of something.
Speaker 1: But I'm not. I'm not really using the space. I
Speaker 1: like to like very much move around in the swer.
Speaker 1: It's not dancing. Will that there's there's a hazard?
Speaker 3: Well sure, but like I feel like your lawyer, if
Speaker 3: you're going to take legal action against this hotel, your
Speaker 3: lawyer right now is stop talking, man.
Speaker 1: You are putting yourself in a hard position. And Okay.
Speaker 1: So then they had what was called a rubber matt,
Speaker 1: which I guess I was supposed to put down. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying no, I'm not because my lawyer, Seth, you're
Speaker 1: a lawyer to he'll be like, I don't know because
Speaker 1: I think this Seth is right, But I will say
Speaker 1: I open up. Our laws name is actually Seth. The
Speaker 1: lawyers name is Seth. Silent killers. We love our lawyers.
Speaker 1: They were described to us before we hired them as
Speaker 1: silent kill Were they really?
Speaker 4: I was not.
Speaker 1: They were not described as that to me. We had
Speaker 1: a manager who was like, you're gonna want these guys.
Speaker 1: They're silent killers. They're not the kind of lawyers that's
Speaker 1: like in peoples. They're they're lovely, very very good lawyers.
Speaker 1: They love when we talk about them. Mother shows. So
Speaker 1: we always get a text that's great, well, Seth always texts.
Speaker 1: Is not a texter, Yeah, and not with me. He's
Speaker 1: a silent text, That's what it is. I'm just not
Speaker 1: I'm just not seeing it. So I opened the rubber
Speaker 1: mat and it's like yellow and like it looks nasty,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not putting my feet on that,
Speaker 1: especially as someone who's a survivor of athletes' foot right.
Speaker 1: I had athletes over about nine months. Oh, and I
Speaker 1: realized it was because I had to have my shower washed.
Speaker 2: But can I say that you having a bruise on
Speaker 2: your ass does not necessarily preclude you from hooking up
Speaker 2: with anybody some people, can I say?
Speaker 1: It's not like cute bruise, Like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, that's not up to you, all right, that's up
Speaker 2: to the other person.
Speaker 1: I guess should I run the risk?
Speaker 2: I think you should. Also, I don't I disagree that
Speaker 2: this is the horniest time of year. In a month,
Speaker 2: it will be the horniest time of year.
Speaker 3: It's actually I don't disagree with me every on record
Speaker 3: thing for me and press, Oh busy interesting. So it's
Speaker 3: not weather related or like where our bodies are at
Speaker 3: during now today, It's just it's just that everyone's busy.
Speaker 1: It's about to become the horniest time of year. Because
Speaker 1: I said this on his show, but it basically it's like,
Speaker 1: I know you did well forever on listening at home
Speaker 1: that didn't watch my incredible segment agree.
Speaker 2: With Henry texted me they were like that was so funny.
Speaker 2: I said, I have no doubt. And then I said
Speaker 2: to you, I was like, you have Seth's number.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you guys in a group
Speaker 1: chat called Laurence Faves called Lauren Boys Lauren's Boys. So
Speaker 1: in a little while, it will become the thing where
Speaker 1: people are like at home for a little bit too long.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you this is when you shoot your
Speaker 1: shot with the person that you like, have like flirted
Speaker 1: with before a little bit, but like it's never gone there.
Speaker 1: I bet back in the day, and you can say
Speaker 1: back in the day, certain hosts came through, like Girl
Speaker 1: Lady hosts like that that were into it.
Speaker 2: Jeffer Lawrence admitted to having a crush but yeah.
Speaker 3: I will say this, Uh Leaney once said this, did
Speaker 3: you know we.
Speaker 1: Could flirt with the host?
Speaker 3: I was like no, because I feel like a lot
Speaker 3: of people did very well. Andy Samberg really yes, I
Speaker 3: think saday kiss and then it never occurred to me.
Speaker 3: I mean, I will say bowen. I feel like every
Speaker 3: day for me at SNL's head writer was Christmas.
Speaker 1: I was too busy. I was just too busy. Just
Speaker 1: thank you, and you probably knew that they were like
Speaker 1: coming on, but you were.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't think my radar for that was not up.
Speaker 3: I was as shocked as anyone when I heard that
Speaker 3: bounce from Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Wow, shocked, not surprising to me at all. But I
Speaker 2: mean you had every Rebecca LaRue in the city.
Speaker 1: I had lu years. We need to have our LaRue years.
Speaker 1: Are they happening now? And we just don't know. I
Speaker 1: think I'm letting them slip away.
Speaker 3: I know, I think I had a moment that maybe
Speaker 3: there was a nightclub I used to go to that
Speaker 3: a friend of mine now's kids were having their barmits
Speaker 3: fat It was just that moment is starting to happen
Speaker 3: where like you know, we're talking about like New York City,
Speaker 3: like it's one thing when there used to be a
Speaker 3: theater there. Even worse if it's the thing you used
Speaker 3: to go to still there and.
Speaker 2: Now it's this and now it's for venues to go
Speaker 2: through generations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like to look at it, to look at a
Speaker 1: corner where you like made out with the Rebecca LaRue
Speaker 1: and like there's like a thirteen year old like growing
Speaker 1: up not good anyway. I'm just nervous about the bruise
Speaker 1: on my ass, and then I feel like it's that
Speaker 1: weird thing where if I go to hook up with
Speaker 1: someone like Jessing, you know, there's a huge bruise on
Speaker 1: my ass, and then I'm kind of scared of the
Speaker 1: reaction work they're really enthusiastic. I'm sort of over the
Speaker 1: thing where guys like try to like hurt me during sex.
Speaker 1: Now that's out, it's out. And if you're in my
Speaker 1: DMS being like some people really can't stop with the
Speaker 1: whole thing of like I'm gonna come over in choke
Speaker 1: you or I'm gonna come over in like you're gonna
Speaker 1: be in an immense amount of pain. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 3: That's a real reverse LaRue, that's a very different vibe.
Speaker 3: This just speaks back to a very hornier time in
Speaker 3: my life. I remember when it's being with a girl
Speaker 3: who is in your situation. But I remember she said,
Speaker 3: I have a boil that I need lance and I
Speaker 3: don't wanna. I never hooked up with air, and I
Speaker 3: remember being like, I'm sure it's fine. I literally eatn
Speaker 3: which is the word. I was like, it's fine, and
Speaker 3: I think that we should still do it, and she
Speaker 3: was like, no, let me and let me lance the boil,
Speaker 3: let me land boil.
Speaker 1: But at the time, I was like, this is you
Speaker 1: know what? Hy are we getting hung up on boils?
Speaker 1: It seems she was asking you to lance it. I
Speaker 1: would you think maybe maybe maybe come over with your Okay? Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: I guess in a couple of days time, when this
Speaker 1: episode is out, maybe it'll have gone down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm working at the camera, but I'll be home with
Speaker 1: my goddamn parents. And I have to say, Long Island
Speaker 1: Grinder sucks. A Yeah, it's tough out there, but maybe
Speaker 1: I can find a straight guy. You know. I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out. Anyway, This is I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey, are you excited about that? I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Do you have something that you've been thinking about for
Speaker 1: a long time? Not a long time, but it's top
Speaker 1: of mind. Okay, well, you know a lot of people
Speaker 1: are gonna listen to this one. It's a seth Meyer's episode.
Speaker 1: This is Bowing Young's Out twenty time starts.
Speaker 2: Now. I don't think so, honey. Weighted blankets, I am.
Speaker 2: These are so dangerous. These are so dangerous. These will
Speaker 2: kill me.
Speaker 1: I'm waking up.
Speaker 2: Groggy as hell because of this fucking X ray apron
Speaker 2: on my chest. And why are some of them filled
Speaker 2: with glass beads? Is this the cock on a Thursday night?
Speaker 2: Get the beads out, and I'm sorry to shame the
Speaker 2: people who like the beads in them. Get the beads
Speaker 2: out of my blankets because it's not And how come
Speaker 2: half of them aren't machine washable? So I'm supposed to
Speaker 2: spot treat these things that are disgusting and heavy.
Speaker 1: No way.
Speaker 2: I better be able to put it in my drum,
Speaker 2: in my little machine and clean them. Otherwise I'm getting
Speaker 2: the factory smell on me and that is not going
Speaker 2: to relax me. These weighted blankets are going to ruin
Speaker 2: my sleep.
Speaker 1: And my life.
Speaker 2: And if you get me one for Christmas, or anyone
Speaker 2: you love for Christmas, you're wishing death upon your loved one.
Speaker 1: And that's one minute. It's not and I don't really
Speaker 1: use it, and I think it's a novel.
Speaker 2: I think it's just we're all gonna laugh at how
Speaker 2: much we supposedly loved these things in a couple of years.
Speaker 3: I also think the bane of a weighted blanket is
Speaker 3: when you decide you hate it, almost impossible to throw it.
Speaker 1: You can't. Yeah, you're forever.
Speaker 3: Oh it's gonna be whenever you move out of your apartment,
Speaker 3: you're going to leave it as a welcome to.
Speaker 2: The next person, and you're never going to move out
Speaker 2: of that parting anywhere near that next person.
Speaker 1: I think that they're really good in theory, But what
Speaker 1: I fear about the weighted blanket is what actually is
Speaker 1: it doing to our backs and our bodies? Because I
Speaker 1: don't think that that can be good for you, because
Speaker 1: you're not really supposed to sleep with them on right,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to like rest with.
Speaker 2: Some people say that you can sleep with them and
Speaker 2: that they're helpful for sleep, And yet I was talking
Speaker 2: to I was talking to our friend Amber roughing about
Speaker 2: this yesterday.
Speaker 1: Sorry yesterday, sorry yesterday as well, and she.
Speaker 2: Said, my fear is that I'm going to be too
Speaker 2: weak to get out of it.
Speaker 1: But I am laughing thinking about Amber struggling under a
Speaker 1: like late late for work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a work before I do my I
Speaker 3: don't think so, honey. There was something in a recent
Speaker 3: episode that struck home.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you are you're a reader? Like, what's
Speaker 1: going on? How do you identify? I guess a reader? Finalist? No,
Speaker 1: you're a finalist.
Speaker 3: Donna Karan, Donna Kana.
Speaker 1: Here is mine?
Speaker 3: I had one, which is my mom my entire life
Speaker 3: said Tommy Hillfinger.
Speaker 1: That's huge.
Speaker 3: My mother would and I did not never got corrected
Speaker 3: because I think then I it was a catalog that
Speaker 3: came to our home and my dad wore a lot
Speaker 3: of Tommy Hillfinger. But then it was nothing to correct
Speaker 3: it for me, right, And then I did a charity
Speaker 3: event for Tommy Hillfinger, and it was thank god I
Speaker 3: wrote my jokes and I showed it to Shoemaker and
Speaker 3: thank god I spelled it hillfinger and my because I
Speaker 3: was ready, and he goes, I'm going to say something,
Speaker 3: and I wish to be a f Do you think
Speaker 3: his name is Tommy Hillfinger, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, say things name because it is not Tommy, it's
Speaker 1: Tommy Hilling. I'm like, oh my god, this could have been.
Speaker 3: Is that to get it wrong in front of him
Speaker 3: at an event honoring.
Speaker 1: That's like saying Jimmy Buffet, Jimmy Buffet at his funeral,
Speaker 1: James Buffet? Rest rest in? Are you a parro? Heead?
Speaker 1: I never cared about it. It was a thing.
Speaker 3: I will say there was a moment in I but
Speaker 3: so whatever ninety two to wait, hold on, is it
Speaker 3: really good?
Speaker 1: That's right. I was high school eighty nine to ninety two.
Speaker 3: There were a lot of kids who like love Jimmy Buffett. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean like we would go to parties and that
Speaker 3: would be there was like Elton John Moxte came out
Speaker 3: that year and there was a Jimmy, a lot of Buffett.
Speaker 1: And John that was that.
Speaker 2: This is inurban suburban New Hams, suburban New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a thing, and it's an.
Speaker 2: Access point for a lifestyle that is so far away
Speaker 2: from you. Yeah, especially if you're in New Hampshire or
Speaker 2: maybe even Yeah.
Speaker 1: The day my dad was at the beach crying a
Speaker 1: cheer and poor on one out. Good for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a massive good I mean, I do
Speaker 3: think and that was a very nice I mean talk
Speaker 3: about a non toxic culture.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, totally perfect. Who do you stan? Who do
Speaker 1: I stand?
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm I'm I'm outgrowing my stand years
Speaker 3: like a lot of the things I stand. I you know,
Speaker 3: I don't even know who I stand anymore.
Speaker 2: Let's say the last person that you were like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna really I'm gonna listen to the whole discography. I'm
Speaker 2: going to like familiarize myself with this person, these people
Speaker 2: because I love them so much.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so somebody, this music critic I really like,
Speaker 3: wrote he did make a list of his fifty favorite
Speaker 3: Elton John songs. There are a lot of them that
Speaker 3: I didn't like. I realized, I'm like, oh, I didn't know.
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of like seventies Elton stuff that's
Speaker 3: really great and like not radio friendly because they're like
Speaker 3: nine minute songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I had a very nice summer listen to a
Speaker 3: lot of long Elton John song.
Speaker 1: Elton John is one that I got my dad the
Speaker 1: Goodbye yellow Brook Road vinyl. And he got really way
Speaker 1: more excited than I thought he would, and it excited
Speaker 1: me how excited he was perfect album?
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you Stan? I think Jeff tweeties, but he's
Speaker 2: a friend.
Speaker 1: He's quite friendly now. But like I do, Stan, will
Speaker 1: seth Are you ready for? I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 3: I am. I'm so ready for I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 3: And I hope you let me just do it.
Speaker 1: What are your hopes for this?
Speaker 3: My hopes is that, well, it's going to be holiday theme, okay, great?
Speaker 3: And I really do Rockfeller Senna. That's one of your
Speaker 3: songs right in your name, I know, And I was
Speaker 3: a little worried because you know, Fallon gets name dropped
Speaker 3: early and so then you worry like and I would
Speaker 3: not begrudge you made it, and so I'm very happy
Speaker 3: that I find my way in later.
Speaker 1: I forgot to bring that up when I was on
Speaker 1: your show. Should you know that you were in the song?
Speaker 3: I did not know I was in the song when
Speaker 3: you were on. I knew I was in the song
Speaker 3: when I because I listened to the album after you
Speaker 3: were on, and I was very happy because when I
Speaker 3: heard fallon early.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh boy, oh shit, I wouldn't. But again,
Speaker 2: that was the right choice.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what's fun about that is starting with Jimmy
Speaker 1: and then going to Allen and landing in Jenna bush Haiger. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and Jenna bush Haigger is a laugh line. And that's
Speaker 1: actually the culture number eighteen is a laugh line. I
Speaker 1: was actually one of my favorite people in culture.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna see her tomorrow. I really, yeah, perfect,
Speaker 3: I'll tell her how you guys say we love her.
Speaker 3: We're about to see her too, We're about to Are you.
Speaker 1: Really your house or yours? No? I mean, is she
Speaker 1: coming up? Gotcha? Gotcha? But I need you coming right before?
Speaker 1: Cecily Strong? Really I think strong Meredith.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was and you know who is really happy?
Speaker 3: Verizon Corporate.
Speaker 2: That was you get Verizon money if you're next to you,
Speaker 2: but one version between us, no pain.
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, here's the people the curtain about
Speaker 1: that song. So I'm writing that part because I wanted
Speaker 1: to have Verizon And I said, you know what, I'm no,
Speaker 1: I'm said, I don't care what anyone thinks. Ann Curry
Speaker 1: is going in this song. I know Anne Curry is controversial,
Speaker 1: like in the all of it, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. This is my fight song, like Anne Curry.
Speaker 1: All respect to Anne Curry is the lyric, and that
Speaker 1: is true forever.
Speaker 2: Yeap love her, Love Anne, love Anne.
Speaker 1: And for the pod, and she'd be an incredible guest.
Speaker 1: She really would be.
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, okay, this is seth Myers's holiday themed.
Speaker 2: I don't think Soney as time starts now, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think so honey. Out of towners who visit the
Speaker 3: Rockefeller Christmas Tree, this is an office. It's a place,
Speaker 3: of course. Just listen to Matt's song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people work there.
Speaker 3: And I get it, But I think you all come
Speaker 3: from places where there are a lot of trees you
Speaker 3: go see. Is it just that there's one tree amongst buildings.
Speaker 3: If you put one building amongst the forest, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: come and visit it. Also, you can look at the
Speaker 3: weather before you visit New York City, and sometimes I
Speaker 3: hate to say it, but due to climate change, it's
Speaker 3: not zero degrees. So don't wear your biggest coat because
Speaker 3: that's basically each person is two people and we don't
Speaker 3: have enough room in the concourse for that. Yeah, here's
Speaker 3: the biggest thing though, if you go to the tree lighting,
Speaker 3: I have so much respect for you to be there
Speaker 3: person when they light the thing up, just look at it.
Speaker 1: Just enjoy the moment.
Speaker 3: Because too many of you hold up your phones and
Speaker 3: you try to take a photo of the moment the
Speaker 3: lights go on. That's an impossible moment to take because
Speaker 3: you either get the moment before the lights are on
Speaker 3: or the moment the lights are on.
Speaker 1: And I just this is the thing. You're there, you
Speaker 1: fought through the crowds. Just watch it.
Speaker 3: Yes, live, but a merry Christmas doll, and I do
Speaker 3: appreciate you, actually dead right.
Speaker 1: And the thing about needing to document the tree lighting
Speaker 1: is they're actually they're grabbing that. They're grabbing it. They're
Speaker 1: actually grabbing it. There's professionals that are grabbing it for you.
Speaker 1: So you can actually have that moment documented. You don't
Speaker 1: need to be the one to do it. I promise you.
Speaker 1: There's actually a huge televisce special.
Speaker 3: Where they're getting it slipping around get you and your family,
Speaker 3: but with the tree in the background, no one's gonna
Speaker 3: say you shouldn't do that. But just that moment of
Speaker 3: trying to be that I was there when the light
Speaker 3: went on, so you can't take that photo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 2: How does that play into your own Christmas experience? I
Speaker 2: think everyone's fine just looking at the tree from Saxspith
Speaker 2: Avenue and then keeping it moving.
Speaker 1: We would come in from Long Island to see it,
Speaker 1: and even as a pre ironic like whenever when I
Speaker 1: was in like middle school, I was just like, look,
Speaker 1: like I get we're going into the city to see
Speaker 1: a show, Like I understand this culture, but the tree.
Speaker 1: I was like, I never got the tree. And I
Speaker 1: think that's where the song comes from. It's just like
Speaker 1: this is so silly, but.
Speaker 3: Like, well, your song is great because you respect it
Speaker 3: as a place of work that you were. You were
Speaker 3: singing a song about a holiday place. But what I
Speaker 3: like about the lyrics is you keep reminding people, yes,
Speaker 3: this is where people work.
Speaker 1: But it also encourages voyeurism and it encourages the encroachment
Speaker 1: of privacy. And I'm happy you're here, so I can
Speaker 1: apologize to you about that because I think you're really
Speaker 1: on the map. Because of my song, people are going
Speaker 1: to be on the hunt.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize, so I was speaking about nobody on
Speaker 3: the hunt. I like when you know BTS is a felon,
Speaker 3: there's so many people outside, right, Yeah, and talk about
Speaker 3: a ven diagram where it's two circles. Yeah, like I
Speaker 3: can walk and like nobody and again I walk out
Speaker 3: with a couple of scurity guys, So there you would
Speaker 3: be there's a moment where you're like, is it you know,
Speaker 3: like you you know, you see a guy.
Speaker 1: You say and nothing. Man.
Speaker 3: I found out at SNL after the fact that like
Speaker 3: there are people in my cast who at the end
Speaker 3: of the show would go to the basement to get cars.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know.
Speaker 2: You. And I'm starting to get when I walked out
Speaker 2: now not the biggest response anybody. And it's fine, It's
Speaker 2: actually it's a beautiful moment. I'm like, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: like wet behind or I'm not like thee that's.
Speaker 1: Literally not true. I think that you're probably just used
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think it's very used to me.
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, there's the.
Speaker 1: Glamour of walking from those doors to the cars when
Speaker 1: it's like the thing of they recognize you. I never
Speaker 1: think that's ever gonna like happen for me. And then
Speaker 1: when I was at Bravo con Oh. I got out
Speaker 1: of a car at Bravocan and walked and it was
Speaker 1: people were screaming like I was beats he s. I
Speaker 1: was like why, because I've been on watch it appens.
Speaker 1: I have a handful of times and that is what
Speaker 1: are their chef's kiss the way they act.
Speaker 3: Lovely two thousand and one SNL. I feel like it
Speaker 3: was the end of an era. I feel like it
Speaker 3: was the last vestiges of sex in the city of
Speaker 3: New York before it shifted to the post nine to eleven. Yes,
Speaker 3: and the cars to the SNL after party were stretch limousines,
Speaker 3: like old school promise stretch limousines, and so you know,
Speaker 3: now I think it's all svs. And so it was
Speaker 3: such a trip when you I would have high school
Speaker 3: friends or college tens of the show and it was
Speaker 3: everything you wanted to be where you'd like get into.
Speaker 1: A limb wretch.
Speaker 2: Kyle Mooney would still get one every week before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so talk about a Disney person. Oh Kyle,
Speaker 1: Kyle will suck it up at Disney. Oh, I got
Speaker 1: he goes with Franko.
Speaker 3: Lespie ran back and back they yeah, ye, back back
Speaker 3: and I were at Sarah Schneider Mike Carnell's wedding and
Speaker 3: it was in Virginia, and I went on my oh,
Speaker 3: and I got like a room that was it was
Speaker 3: like a two room villa each type. It's not a
Speaker 3: villain because it was like all colonial, but anyway, you'd
Speaker 3: walk in the front door, you go right and it
Speaker 3: was one hotel room and left in it was the other.
Speaker 3: And they were like each sweets. And I again it
Speaker 3: was a wedding where I was on my own and
Speaker 3: had a nice time. And then I went back. I
Speaker 3: was going to drive back the first thing in the
Speaker 3: morning and Beck had people do his room and it
Speaker 3: was the funniest thing. It was so loud and dumb.
Speaker 3: I kept me on, but it was Beck was doing
Speaker 3: the dumbest bits that were It was making me laugh
Speaker 3: so hard, usually because it was just I was like,
Speaker 3: he would be so devastated if he knew you heard.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm it's like somebody rolled a bed with
Speaker 2: me in it into the middle of it.
Speaker 1: I hear.
Speaker 3: And he did write me the nicest note, because I
Speaker 3: think in the morning he slowly put it together.
Speaker 1: He was like, oh no, and it was really one
Speaker 1: of our biggest sweeties. Love love that guy, love that guy.
Speaker 1: Speaking of loving that guy, love this guy.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 3: This was this was everything I wanted to be. My
Speaker 3: favorite thing was when it started and Matt said I
Speaker 3: have a surprise for you and you literally heard a
Speaker 3: rustle and guessed it exactly exactly, really speaks to hell Insike,
Speaker 3: you too are.
Speaker 1: Oh listen, I have a psychic connection to him. And
Speaker 1: honestly it's really we have Emily to thank because when
Speaker 1: she gave me this for you, I was like, I
Speaker 1: should have And then I got a friend good because
Speaker 1: I was like, why didn't I know? And I got
Speaker 1: an elevator today to go down from my apartment to
Speaker 1: come here, and I had forgotten them, and I said,
Speaker 1: let me go back. I was like, I have to
Speaker 1: get this to my girl.
Speaker 2: And still you got here before I did. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Don't feel It's.
