Michael's wearing he's wearing a hat and he's wearing a hoodie met him I was like all right yes
00:02:46
is that black t-shirt for 150 podcast episodes yeah I like having a uniform I don't want to think too much there's uh there's certain there's some kind of magic with a black T-shirt and a white
00:03:00
comedian I don't know what it is but I don't know if it's a Carlin thing but it's like a yeah it is it is isn't it
00:03:08
there was a comedian who had a joke that he was like I have I'm on a I'm on a diet it's called wearing a black
00:03:14
T-shirt that's exposed now d uh it's a little bit Carin early Carlin he did some specials in a black T-shirt um I don't know I have no brand
00:03:28
and I don't have much of personality our guests today are col let's do the thing about the show up
00:03:35
front first we won't and then we can Circle about to it around okay so is it September 12th because I thought you said this weekend that's Thursday Thursday yeah is that that's not a
00:03:47
weekend right just a day yeah so Thursday September 12th Friday these guys are GNA be live because they can only do live it's
00:03:58
in their contract yeah right is it going to be and Michael Chay present New York after dark first question 900 p.m. is it
00:04:07
Twilight or is it dark I'm not saying it really matters but is it after dark at 900 PM in in September is it a lie in the title already uh misinformation is
00:04:18
the word of the day okay uh 900 P PM Eastern be dark I'm gonna predict it's dark yeah I think so too 6 PM Pacific
00:04:27
what time will it be on in Hawaii by the way that was a real gotcha question about the
00:04:34
title we're really drilling you it's going to be live I guess live at 3 3M Hawaii okay those we got six viewers over there that want to know American
00:04:46
the American Samoans watching it's a breakfast show have to get pretty early pretty early in americ okay so here's what i' want to know honestly what is the show
00:05:00
really is it is it an hourong update or no what is it oh my God no I I didn't think so okay it's it's really a it's just a
00:05:10
evolving event it's not written yet evolving it's very Saturday Night Live it's like six months away in your guys heads even though it's like in 24 hours
00:05:24
right SNL is all about just a month is like 10 years away so you'll get down to it after this podcast it is weird that ever right ahead because you're just
00:05:37
putting out fires the week you're at SNL so you're never like everyone's like well you must write ahead a little bit if you know someone's coming and you kind of even process anyone that's coming beyond that week no anything you
00:05:50
think of in August uh would never possibly make it to the show Even though two weeks before anything you think of will never ever make make it to the show I don't know why that I would always
00:06:02
take a sketch idea and go I'm saving this for Michael Keaton and they're like dumb idea anything good get it out but we had
00:06:10
like 200 white male hosts in a row that was like our problem was like there was no every host was like the next guy so
00:06:17
if you have a generic sketch you're like we just wrote it for Jeff Daniels then Tom Hanks then Alec bald you know what I
00:06:23
mean so it's very hard to go and then you have a female host but you try to mix it up but it was hard to write
00:06:29
different things every week that was my excuse by the way check that hair I don't think it's much different now though is it yeah you've got you got a pretty
00:06:42
pretty mixed bag but it's still it was more just about bad writing on my part self I in the pitch in the pitch
00:06:50
meeting Lauren goes David anything this week I go uh nothing for you Tom Hank sorry I'm saving a couple of winners for
00:06:57
Alec Baldwin in three weeks oh that's nice okay David and I two are together and he was my opener one of my best
00:07:04
openers oh yeah and he wrote some jokes for me or added onto the grumpy old man sketch so he's self-deprecating who's the more humble between you two who's the more
00:07:17
Hannah more humble true or false has any of you ever said to any the other one after update if you ever do that again I'm going to kick your
00:07:28
ass oh something toward that yeah I think jalapeno business I was pretty Furious about that one you just upet that it worked so well the punch well I
00:07:39
remember in like in like run through when you did it because I never heard it before the I don't remember what the set
00:07:45
the setup was but the punchline was jalapeno business and I was like if you tell that joke on air I'm I'm I'm leaving I'm quitting this show and he did it on air and it destroyed and I was
00:07:59
so frustrated I was so frustrated like I don't even know what we do anymore if that I would have honestly I would have
00:08:06
honestly cut it if it wasn't so upsetting to you and then I was like I'm definitely doing this can we know what
00:08:12
the setup was or is it rather not I'd rather not know but you do not have to don't remember at all but um but it
00:08:24
crushed it was a funny punchline no matter what yeah it doesn't need it almost you could say it without context have you ever have you guys ever hugged each other and said love you
00:08:37
bro okay yes well one says yes one says no well yeah I was it was definitely um no it was definitely a one-sided hug if it ever happened have you ever said oh no here
00:08:51
comes Sarah Sherman sliding in again yeah maybe once or twice week yeah it's a Sherman week it's so funny when
00:09:02
people people like oh my God it's so she's really like going after you you know you're like I mean she is but it's
00:09:09
so clearly it's like is everything okay between you and Sarah you're like yeah if it wasn't it would be crazy they're like but she said you Le you're leading
00:09:21
the new Nazi party and you're like well that was sort of a joke I think yeah why are they looking for someone where's
00:09:28
where's it coming from I like every everything I'm hearing so far is that your one sponsors one thing I find interesting just watching you guys casually uh and wondering because I
00:09:41
feel like when I stepped off after seven years my final sketch was the best I ever was as far as just being out of my
00:09:48
head mentally and it seems like you guys at some point the last few years got so
00:09:53
loose and it's it's really fun to watch I don't know the way you're in playay and the way you make of each other or
00:10:00
when you surprise each other with jokes yeah do you think the 10 years just kind of wears you down into such a relaxed
00:10:07
State and confidence right that's my overarching question I'll be quiet now but no first of all thank you but also like um I think everything that could
00:10:18
possibly go wrong has gone wrong so there kind of Nothing Left to be afraid of in that way like it's kind of like the confidence of being so bad that how
00:10:29
much worse can it get kind of thing you know what I mean but it's still it still gets like you know it's it's still SNL
00:10:36
so it's still nerve-wracking but it's it's a lot more fun when you realize there'll be another show next week and and we're just having fun you know we
00:10:47
were there were at least a good three years of feeling like it was bad or not working or work I I certainly like personally feeling like I was trying to
00:10:59
find it or figure it out and everyone's seemingly not into it and and you know feeling like like and not knowing if you're going to get fired every summer for at least three years so
00:11:10
um once we got past that existential dread of doing it and whatever then it started to get more fun for certainly for me I felt that way is there something when uh you are replacing
00:11:22
someone that there's you feel like the audience is mad that you're there or they're just not ready yet and they gota
00:11:27
you got to sort of win them over after a while yeah totally I always feel like it's like the the stepdad effect it's always
00:11:33
like it doesn't matter how good you are you're not dad to them you know and then it's you kind of stick around for long
00:11:40
enough that they start to kind of just know you as the job they call you dad there's always two
00:11:49
kids G remember the Gilbert Godfrey thing about the coming in because he came in in 80 right like First cast left
00:11:58
that he was like mhm imagine at the height of beetle Mania that they were like we're
00:12:04
replacing the Beatles with and he's like that's what it felt coming in as the second after that first SNL cast that was that was pretty grim
00:12:15
and then they got uh Eddie Eddie right right yeah was Eddie with Gilbert he came in a little bit later there the show was going on and then Eddie kind of came in as a feature I was
00:12:30
in New York at the time and I knew a guy had seen he said you got to see this kid Eddie Murphy at Comic Strip you know
00:12:38
he's crushing he's a baby he's in a crib come see I go really how good is he I mean come on he's no Dan arroy or
00:12:45
something he goes no you got to see this kid and then boom let's ask Michael's pillow is can't I turn to the right side too kind I've never turned to the right
00:12:58
side in a Zuma life no I'm always like or on update when there's a graphic I'm always
00:13:04
like [Music] no I'm curious to you guys like do you have an overriding sort of producer
00:13:16
that's helping you uh with everything because or do you actually produ like because cast will come up throughout the week right and kind of go I got an up idea and who are they who do you blame
00:13:27
when you kill a bit you know I mean everyone loves to slide in and be front and center with you guys
00:13:35
at this point they got hats on they got props I mean some really really they got hats well they got yeah they're playing
00:13:41
esos I don't know you know they hiding guard and they're doing some very creative potent stuff and so and you
00:13:48
guys are very good at playing straight to them at um but do you have is there a political environment about that the closer to the I feel like the closer to the end of the season the the office
00:14:01
gets more and more crowded you know like when when when The Season's about to end but yeah I think it's pretty I don't
00:14:07
know sometimes we're like looking for them sometimes like there's times where like we don't have features and we don't
00:14:13
understand why like there's like two or three options at the we have to like send a reminder like hey if you guys got
00:14:18
like features let us know but yeah it's always kind of tricky you got to Ping them have you ever had no update uh
00:14:25
features we did last last year remember we had an oops oops all oops no features
00:14:31
whatever it oops no Fe but that's because it got cut not because we didn't have yeah cut dress so it was just we went straight through for whatever it was like eight to 10 minutes or
00:14:42
something and it was kind of a fun different energy to to because we' never done it before it was kind of fun to feel out you're like I've never worked 12 minutes straight in a row but but I
00:14:54
did it uh you know um when I would do features and if if there was no Adam doing a song there was
00:15:02
no Farley going I says I says and I'm like oh I'm the only one oh thank God and then you get cut you're like what the [ __ ] this is the only time I thought I was the only I was the only option you
00:15:15
went with nothing yeah it's horrifying yeah because you guys I guess have never been a guest on update he Jay did one
00:15:23
feature there where he rolled around to the other side that's right basically endorsed
00:15:29
Japanese style toilets if I remember correctly yeah I got a I got a a day I was really excited to talk about it but
00:15:35
I couldn't find a new setup to get into it so I was like can I just do a feature where I just talk about it for two
00:15:40
minutes and I got to do it it blew my mind lar I mean it is interesting because a little bit like Rodeo because you're in there in your chair maybe Chris Rock's ahead of me or something or
00:15:52
someone else and then they go out of the shoot that you make a left turn and then it's 20 million people you know all that
00:15:58
and then you come back around so it's the last time I did church lady I think is with you guys and Colin it's where
00:16:06
I'm in the shoot and then you roll out the chair is actually rolling and uh then you hear then the Crowd Goes you wait for
00:16:18
all the you know all the the love and then and then and then you deconstruct all the all the Goodwill but it's NW wracking coming out there um is it more
00:16:29
was it even when you were on the show more nerve-wracking to come on update than to be in another like a regular
00:16:36
sketch kind of only because of that waiting and then Dennis Miller's out there Christ s who invented the lemonade
00:16:43
picture all right you know and he's crushing uh and you follow it on the cards and then they wait and they push you out and so the audience doesn't see you
00:16:55
I think at home if it's still this way where they go to one shop but you're still out there and so the crowd starts
00:17:00
to get something's happening and it kind of throws their does it throw that last joke because they're looking at
00:17:06
sometimes it especially if it's like Bowen coming by in a giant like moth costume wait what's this going to be and they're half listening you're like no no no hear this one last thing I have to say about Hillary you know you're like
00:17:20
this bone bone hang on hang on okay bring them out I have to say that if the update's not going slow it's a little
00:17:26
less nerve-wracking if update is crushing and maybe the first guest is crushing it's a little more okay but if it's if it's a bad night it's less
00:17:38
nerve-racking Dennis Miller I think said get him next time to me or something on air I'm like God damn dude oh
00:17:45
my [ __ ] broken bat single saw my cards being you know cuz they flipped through the cards during the break or whatever he looked at my cards and he thought Christ sakes scy I
00:17:58
thought you going to go down in a heap of dog de there's one not one joke in the bunch you
00:18:04
know cuz he's he's a great joke writer and mine's more rhythmic but so um how many like how many like Spade in Americas did you do do you think Spade in America thank
00:18:17
you for bringing that up um you know thought it was called the Hollywood minute but no after after I left yeah
00:18:24
well after my whatever did you do it did you first do it on SNL yeah no it was just I when I was leaving Lauren was was missing me Adam
00:18:37
and Chris everyone kind of left at the same time so Lauren said why don't you stay why don't you stay and do uh he was
00:18:45
petting me like this and then he goes um you can just do a five minute segment a
00:18:51
week and it won't be update you just do whatever you want I don't know why I never tried to update but I said uh okay
00:18:57
so he goes you can do field bits you can do anything you want so we just named it something stupid and then they gave me
00:19:02
one writer and I was sort of separate from the show so I did a Hollywood minute once twice but I went to the World Series I did feel bits which are [ __ ] way harder than I thought and
00:19:13
you know eight hours of shooting for a two and a half minute bit maybe and then came back and then that was Will frell came in and those guys so I sort of overlap with them but I didn't
00:19:24
really get the same Bond I had with the other guys cuz I wasn't really doing sketches I was just on the road and do
00:19:30
stuff okay good question in my memory I'm trying to remember like what because I remember watching those and but I
00:19:37
don't remember when what the timeline was that it felt like it was I saw you know I knew it for years really well it
00:19:43
may have only been for like a year right it was just one year and uh other than that it was just fighting for update
00:19:49
bits and uh we did love doing update like you were saying it's funny that I'm you're on the other side of it and uh
00:19:57
Dana and I did a lot of update it's it's so fun but it is scary that last few seconds when you're in the dark and then
00:20:02
you go if I just go there it's 20 million people I'm just I'm I just I'm going to get there soon but or you could
00:20:08
just walk out and go Tada and you'd be on camera but it's hard not to do that it's like a psychological thing does it
00:20:14
ever matter like whether it's something that you've done a bunch of times or it's something that you're trying like the feeling is it is it more or less
00:20:21
nerve-wracking either way well I think if Dana was doing Church light I think he'd be more
00:20:27
confident but if you're doing a new bit it's scary cuz you have to sort of get them to bite within one or two lines and
00:20:33
run with it like if you come out in a costume they kind of know what you're doing I think I got pushed out I was Jeff Foxworthy and they kind of were think
00:20:40
it's already funny because you got a little look and I have an accent and then I think I was saying how do you
00:20:47
know if you're a tornado or something at first it was an AIDS joke this sounds horrible but I was like if you have it you might be the AIDS virus and so I
00:20:58
Chang it to Ebola that was a big discussion corre yeah because Downey and of course Downey
00:21:05
was probably the one going just do it I'm like Downey you're always the one pushing us out there and daring us and
00:21:11
then guess who gets fired it was not you they're like he's a year later going Spade was a good kid he was a little too
00:21:17
rough around the edges I'm like that's one you told me no one no one at home is like I bet that was a
00:21:23
Downey it's only writers later that go was that Jack Handy or Downey so overall it it's fun not to take over that was it was fun and it was it's very scary and you want it to work La Lauren's thing is
00:21:36
I don't know if he always said this or not but he's his view I guess now is like that you you can't be a star on the
00:21:44
show if you if you can't be a star on update like coming out and doing a feature like you that if you know that's
00:21:51
it's really rare for someone to become a star if they if they don't score in a feature on update but I don't know if
00:21:57
that's always been the that's interesting I didn't hear that he just told me where you live is important
00:22:04
so it was and he also said about stars that are in too many movies well what I've learned is they can't miss you if you don't go away right the minute the minute you get hot
00:22:17
you can feel yourself getting less hot that was a good one also following his following his rules there's like no way to actually live a life everything there's so if we wrote down
00:22:32
all 200 rules oh there's so many they're brilliant some of them are just make you
00:22:37
have you heard this one and I've said this before but I thought it was I can't even believe it's Lawrence he says a
00:22:43
marriage is a prison that everyone's trying to escape into he just has all these things I don't know where they come from but my dad said marriage is the only game that
00:22:55
two can play and both can lose I was like Jesus right after divorce thanks absente Dad
00:23:02
he also said the [ __ ] you're getting isn't worth the [ __ ] you're getting I'm like thanks Dad it's my fourth
00:23:09
birthday can we just eat the cake but I think that's a great thing to say about about update like they have to
00:23:16
buy you on your own not in a sketch you know what I mean like just we like you or we don't yeah and that's kind of a that's kind of a interesting thing to say I agree and people I've never heard
00:23:27
that before actually that's that's a good one even if you made it up I like it I had a reverse thing because church
00:23:34
lady had her own set and was in home base and then yeah sooner or later it's where characters when they have less
00:23:40
heat then they pop out they go to die Church doesn't have a set or a show all of a sudden she's just rolling out you
00:23:48
know so they go weren't you the cold opening guy and you're like a giant said he had a theme song he had movie star guest now he's just next to call he's got one
00:23:59
minute the wi the wig is not like the original wig no matter how hard and how great that staff is it is never you never get back to the original um but I I just want to clarify
00:24:12
this one thing the you guys do literally surprise each other during the live show
00:24:19
yes you play practical jokes yes and that when did that start because that's the I think that really creates a lot of big hook yeah it's it's huge because it goes to your relationship all I think
00:24:32
the first version of it was we had a lot of jokes that were like way too harsh like the audience just wouldn't laugh at it was just way too yeah yeah they just wouldn't like we were doing we would
00:24:44
think they were funny and we but just the audience just would it would just die so we were like well one Christmas
00:24:50
we like well let's do a grab bag where for Christmas we give each other a joke that was too harsh for air but and since it's Christmas we get to tell it anyway
00:25:00
I think we did that and it the jokes that bomb killed for some reason just because we off that so great life yeah
00:25:08
so then Colin was like oh wouldn't it be funny if we just did like a joke swap where we wrote jokes for each other kind
00:25:14
of just heighten in the game and that's kind of how it started and so I'm thinking he's trying to set me up and
00:25:20
he's trying to write jokes you know get me to write like soft jokes so he could write harsh jokes so I wrote really
00:25:27
harsh jokes and he did not write harsh jokes the first one I kind of just like overshot it and then it just became what it is yeah I think it's really interesting
00:25:39
that the idea of clarity you know that when you did that little setup for it then the crowd went crazy it's very it's
00:25:47
sketch right it's standup anytime I watch Young standups doesn't go over I go they're just not quite sure what you
00:25:54
were going for so it's very yeah I mean even like standup we could talk about a sketch idea that bombed at dress rehearsal and it can be really funny
00:26:06
when you're hearing it and people like how's that not on the show and you're like well we definitely tried and it was
00:26:11
a pretty clear non-response yeah you guys have that lane you're on you're currently on SNL and so yeah you can talk all about and that the audience is obvious going to lean forward about
00:26:23
that inside baseball it's the greatest joke I ever got for update and they wouldn't let do it and you're like okay
00:26:29
what is exactly and it's also too like the that version of the sketch is like 15 seconds that's opposed to four minutes of of yeah script so it makes it
00:26:41
a lot cleaner and faster a lot of times it's just one joke and then we kind of stay in there too long but for for joke
00:26:47
swap we once we kind of figured out that if we just offer up the context of a situation then almost anything could work then it just became like well how far can we go just have fun with
00:26:59
it Dan I don't know if you remember I had I had a dirty dirty bit on update and I was so sure it was going to work this is so horrifying I don't know if you guys go I don't know if you guys go
00:27:11
to read through but um at read through I uh I do it it's basically it's dirty so
00:27:16
it's like different ways of of uh masturbation so I'm like oh who was it buddy wacket I did all these ones about the Yankees and then we did Tommy that
00:27:28
some it didn't even get past read through yeah that was in Tommy Boy yeah so Ca Cameron Diaz what the jokes were about her maybe
00:27:35
she was the host or something and it didn't work and I was like [ __ ] and then in Tommy Boy I go hey can I cram these
00:27:41
in here I'll just I'll give them to Farley and it made no sense in the scene but the movie's about break pads so
00:27:47
we're like let's just let's take a break from talking about riveting break pads yeah and so we put those kind of things in and then it's so rare to a new home
00:27:58
for it but like you were saying with your joke made me think of that like you you just look at it from a different angle and you go oh maybe this will
00:28:05
work by the way both both Tommy Boy and Trading Places I would argue and also both Dan arroy um maybe but both have plots that you would in no way like
00:28:19
third acts third acts that you would never think are going to land in a comedy one is orange Futures right in
00:28:29
and break pad merging schemes in timey and they both work really well you're like whoa how did those go get pulled off yeah even a pitch would not have been green lit I think it was green
00:28:42
lit first and then they're like a movie about break pads are like say no more in
00:28:47
Ohio you're right usually broad comedies are really straining in the third act like just get this [ __ ] done man because we've done all the joke they're kind of smarter plots than you would
00:29:00
expect and I feel like you it's a good example of the audience will go with you for if it's actually well thought out
00:29:08
yeah some movies that are good and funny I don't remember the plot you know what I mean I just go like what was that I
00:29:15
what was the pitch I don't know I just thought those guys were funny and the movie is funny and I'm like it's got to be something
00:29:23
[Music] wispy how do you guys deal with um like sort of where the edge is like you know you can't make Tropic Thunder today
00:29:36
right I mean maybe maybe today today I think you can you find the audience is looser recently in a way as far as jokes that are a little outside the lanes is there kind of a I think it's
00:29:50
sort of like um I think a lot of times it's us like like just people in the indust industry kind of fear what is possible by
00:30:02
backlash but so we kind of like pull back and then blame the audience for what we think the audience is going to
00:30:08
react but I think I think people are the same as they've always been they they just want to laugh if it's funny and they trust that you're you're you're being fun I think like you could get
00:30:20
away with a lot if you meanwhile yeah where it's coming from like what is a you know yeah whether whe the intent is rarely what they think it is like most Comics are just saying even if it
00:30:32
sounds horrible you're just trying to get a surprise laugh or get something you don't really mean anything you're just like this is a curveball joke and
00:30:39
then yeah blow back what's that maybe out of desperation who knows it could be anything of course that's most my bit of that yeah I think you do get exhausted
00:30:51
um trying to second guess yourself and you know I don't know I don't know the first person to say oh you can't say
00:30:57
that you know or we can't well we couldn't do that it's so funny you know but I do think you get exhausted by that
00:31:03
notion and then you just start just saying whatever you want you know wait by way go ahead made me think of because
00:31:11
uh when I went when I went home to s island like a little while ago I saw that I had DVD compil I sorry VHS compilations of SNL from the period you
00:31:24
guys were there and that it's so crazy you were in there was a called the bad boys of SNL do you remember a spade the
00:31:34

00:31:48
don't know if it was the 20 20th anniversary 20 something it was like some compilation show that was on and
00:31:56
they was showing Cho and broccoli and every like I could not understand what was happening at all I was like what I don't get it just sounded funny like and

00:39:15
the regular SNL is on NBC at 8 oh at 8:30 oh okay I'm just doing it I'm getting on peacock I didn't know it was actually on Dan thinks his laptop

guest music that's exciting as H are you guys excited about 50th 50th is going to be fun yeah just
00:40:05
to watch I'm a little I'm slly anxious for the show because the 40th was so fly by to see your pants and it actually worked out that I feel like the fear is
00:40:17
like it's going to be you know it was the band part will be good well the and then how big it is right like gigantic car uh concert at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday when we'd
00:40:31

00:40:37
Saturday then oh it's Thursday I don't know what it might be it might be Thursday or Friday and then I think the
00:40:43
show is Sunday which I kind of oh think it's actually Sunday Sunday how much have you written of that Colin oh oh yeah like just like 30 sketches so far for that I remember I saw Higgins when I
00:40:54
was at the 40th and I go I like the people like I I know some SNL people that call me and they go who would I
00:40:59
call about what sketch I I want to pitch them for the 50th I go it won't be on don't worry you don't have to call I
00:41:05
said I don't think they're going to accommodate every 700 cast members and say well what do you want to do I think
00:41:12
you get the biggies and then yeah I want to do Wayne's World and we finally acknowledge our
00:41:17
[Laughter] age wig hey Wayne We Don't look the same like we did before I'm 80 just
00:41:31
dream I just got pubes they're gray look Wayne cutting to at the 40th cutting to
00:41:39
love its during the in memorium so yeah you know what he said the other day he goes he goes they want they want to do that joke again I said once is
00:41:50
enough I go I would do it dude it I said it it might and will be the only air time just take it it's going and it gets a [ __ ] laugh again he L it every time
00:42:02
they cut to him it was a laugh I'm alive hello jealous yeah all right we gotta let these guys go go ask him some one more question then yeah I feel like we've
00:42:16
answered zero of your questions but not really you guys are um I don't know I mean I kind of when I'm on these shows I I always feel like artistic people have a a thing in their head that they don't
00:42:29
they're impostor syndrome or they're not that good and I just want to say you guys are incredible on
00:42:35
update um and really else really great and I don't know I I maybe I'm corny maybe I'm Mike Douglas maybe I'm M Griffin but I do like telling people that when I'm and it's always sincere
00:42:47
but do you guys have you know when you come on to SNL it's been 50 years and there's there was nor McDonald brilliant
00:42:54
There Was You Know Tina and you know and so there is this Giant Cannon of brilliant people and you guys are right
00:43:01
up there now so I mean I put you in in with anybody oh man I really even if you're lying I mean
00:43:09
I'm not saying the first year I thought that but I'm saying as you guys progressed you wouldn't have made it
00:43:15
this long if you weren't good and a progressed now you're we saw some when we were there and we saw some before we
00:43:20
were there so yeah I mean everyone has their opinions but 10 years is a great run and they would they wouldn't be
00:43:25
doing if it wasn't killing I'm just when you you guys come on I'm happy I'm mean I'm intensely relaxed you
00:43:31
know because I just feel like this is going to be good that means the world from you guys it's that's that's that's
00:43:38
insane part why we're doing it now why we even thought of it a thing to do so really appreciate it we don't mean to
00:43:45
embarrass you but I don't say that to every guest right David I don't say that to everybody you do not we haven't had
00:43:50
an update team on in a while but you have not seen I just want I just was a casual Observer and then I'm like damn
00:43:57
these guys are getting [ __ ] good you know it's like really good listen we're mad about it too now if you guys yeah
00:44:05
we're actually kind of angry [Music] too what about Colin's foot is it okay because I yes it's totally fine kites
00:44:17
yeah had a bunch of antibiotics and then it's I mean there's probably a bunch of scars but it's totally fine in terms of
00:44:23
I have toes and stuff did you walk on is that what it was when you surfed and hit coral and then I Barefoot
00:44:30
for the next five days in dirt and sand which was a bad combo it was funny that the Olympics were that far away from the
00:44:36
other Olympics if I know we now go to Tahiti it was stunning you actually needed to know the
00:44:43
time zone difference and when it was a can I ask you a surfer question for the final final with the two dudes out there on the surfboards talking and there's just no waves I mean there was a wave
00:44:54
and then it's like 15 minutes it's the Olympic final we're going to Crown a champion they're on their boards in the
00:45:00
water chatting for it's there were a couple people I thought who really got screwed like I thought John John Florence kind of got screwed like uh Jack Robinson beat him who was great and
00:45:12
obviously a very deserving uh you know deserving that he moved on but like John John kind of was waiting because the
00:45:18
waves were so good and then there was they just died for 10 minutes and he never got a chance at another wave which
00:45:23
sucked and also Medina a little bit Gabriel Medina he got one great wave and then never had a chance so I feel like those guys both kind of got screwed that's right I noticed that he got one great wave and then that's all you just
00:45:35
wanted to be monster waves but it just doesn't always happen that way but it was crazy to see be out there in a boat
00:45:42
and watch one day it went in the morning from being like four to six feet high to
00:45:48
18 feet within you know six hours it was nuts what's the biggest wave you've ever
00:45:55
surfed cuz Staten Island doesn't have a big surf scene Big Scene It has a great if you're looking for hypodermic needles in the surf it's got a great um I I would go to I would I go to
00:46:09
mon talk around here if I go I mean I've been probably 10 I've surfed like a 10 foot wave is probably the most I've ever done I'm not are you ripped I mean are
00:46:19
you most Surfers I find are just ripped because they're just constant out their paddling I'm not I don't get to I mean
00:46:27
you don't get to do it but Michael's nodding that you're he's definitely he's in that chair he's got his abs on the whole time you know I S one of those balls
