00:04:59
intern she was like a page and she was so tired but so happy that was the only uh knowledge of it I I went to like drama school so I thought I would do
00:05:10
like Shakespeare I never thought I can you give us a little Shakespeare what's the
00:05:16
ultimate Shakespeare uh Robin Williams did a lot of he was doing Shakespearean stuff and he always had one leftover Shakespearean thing he wouldn't use the mic but he was just being Rob Williams

00:06:14
doing the same theater I'm doing after I've been sweating and slugging it away for 50,000 years and then um I think it
00:06:21
probably sounded like fun but how does that happen with you two and then what do you do uh that's a good you know we're very
00:06:29
different but it works um yeah two I think we're obviously Sarah's like extremely disgusting and nauseating and there was
00:06:40
like a 30 minute slideshow of a of like a vagina prosthetic that Louie was mad at her that he didn't get to make and it is so disgusting and then I come out and I do my Impressions but I make them
00:06:54
orgasm so it's like aess it's like a rated a yeah yeah I try it's an after dark kind of show well you have your crossover audience from mnl and so it's more potent and then it would be like me
00:07:07
and Dana going out it's like people that like it go oh if they like one they'll take the other or they like you both you
00:07:13
know that's always fun and it sounds like it's a very intriguing show that I would see for sure I think it sounds
00:07:19
just fun because I don't know what it is so people just want to go because you're both good and you're both funny so
00:07:25
that's and also your personas we're we're just meeting you now which is fun and Sarah yeah is uh is sort of sweet I
00:07:32
don't know or like you're you're not like kind of you know and then when it then when you're working blue it has
00:07:39
this energy to it you don't expect don't it two nice little Jewish perverts coming out yeah it's good yeah I saw when we
00:07:52
did Chloe the um I used to work at the show too when we did the um uh whatever Sanders tour and then she was on with me it was so funny cuz I didn't know her at all and then she was actually super easy
00:08:05
to talk to super fun she very Magnetic Personality she's very sweet and then she gets out I don't know her act at all
00:08:11

00:08:41
abortion chunk yeah big abortion chunk it great that's that's awes you got follow it I'd be backstage going I'm I'm up there going should I do 7-Eleven then McDonald's if you're orgasm as your
00:08:54
impressions which are really Stout yeah I want to hear a few of those by the way do which is just to get the which one
00:09:01
kills the artist which one they eat up you know it's different it's different every place um I I've been doing it for
00:09:08
years I'm always like God this is so hack but you know not everyone I'd say like Drew baramore starts strong they're
00:09:16
they all they all do pretty good and then I think I do way too many than I should people get then they're kind of
00:09:22
like laughing just to be nice in Texas the Ted Cruise orgasm does better yeah yeah there's like some old like an old Melania Trump one I do them all I just do them all oh you do do you do
00:09:38
Melania did I say it right I think so Malia malania Malia close enough yeah you know what we're talking about and do you do I've seen you do uh men is it harder or is it is there
00:09:54
any difficulty to do men I can do like beautiful boy I think like a boyish a beautiful boyish man is much easier real real men um no I
00:10:06
think they're so hard Harry Styles I remember like doing in front of Harry Styles at the show and I bombed so
00:10:14
badly horrible horse was on air was it no no no and and like he was like looking at me in disgust but yeah doing it and i' and I most of the men I do I
00:10:26
happened to do it in front of them God you just get deliver your Timothy shalam is kind of your I
00:10:35
mean he's he's so huge right now you're the only one who does him there it is kind of yeah but he's nice about it you can tell it's I don't know I'm like a
00:10:46
lot older than I just feel like this like weird older woman just like obsessed with these little boys he's
00:10:53
very kind about it um but it's hard not to I don't know if you have this where you like slip into the slip into the
00:11:00
voice when you're around the person no because you're sort of mimicking you're picking it up as you go probably yeah
00:11:05
and they give you all these G like yeah he was totally totally Danny is great at
00:11:11
that well uh we're you know sister brother from another mother yeah with your Timothy uh you yeah you find you find these rhythms in Hooks and then
00:11:23
they really help you get in it it's like what's that sound you just made as Timothy like
00:11:29
yeah it was like listening to a lot of interview this was like before he became huge I I started working on him and it was like you know growing up in New York you're gring up in New York as an
00:11:41
actor it kind of like Rhythm like goes like that and then he laughs yeah and that's it yeah just like a 19-year-old billionaire he's like the most famous guy they don't they they don't give a
00:11:52
[ __ ] that's why he doesn't get you're kind of you're in that mold where you're accurate but you're also an
00:11:58
abstractionist you're making it into a character I tried to I think that's like after hear like Lauren will talk about other people you know he I don't know if he does that here where he talks about
00:12:10
other people to to to kind of have you glean insight into yourself and he'd always talk about you or Fred not being having a take yeah not
00:12:22
being like so it's not like um a biopic right it's just sort of a it's it's only it's probably going to get laughs sorry Dana it's probably going to get laughs meanwhile I'm the guy that doesn't do Impressions but it gets more
00:12:34
laughs when I watch you or Dana you do do an impression I your little yeah but I your
00:12:42
lord I your little Lord God damn I thought of a how long did it take you before you had a Lauren like day one or
00:12:50
yeah honey I think as soon as I sat across from the first time I met him I was like
00:12:55
o this is never leaving um the first thing he asked when you you have to like meet him he was I'm from the Bay Area and he was like are your parents hippies and then that
00:13:08
was I like when he talks nothing about like you're auditioning for the show come in come in wait five hours then you
00:13:14
come in he's like do you like baseball you're like what I know it's just something nothing about show business or
00:13:20
anything I just like to get a feel he told me once I go Lauren I'm looking for an apartment what are you up to David
00:13:26
he's totally bored with nothing else to do and I'm like oh and then he goes sit down I'll make some calls and then he goes uh when he's done with the calls he
00:13:37
goes what's going on with you basically like are you still on the show so I go yeah yeah and uh I go yeah I'm looking for an apartment but I'm a little torn because one's like uh upper west side
00:13:50
and one's like lower upper west side but one was a little more expensive and he goes it's important where you
00:13:57
live and I go he's very right I think it's more of the price point yes wait the thing he said to me which is why I'm always like which is why we're trying to do these Paramount shows as much as
00:14:09
possible he was like yeah you always want to live in a place you can't quite afford oh it's very close to what he
00:14:17
said to me exactly it's very important so money is not a problem and I'm like is is it though I think it is I do you
00:14:25
have you been in U like okay you're on ADH and Lauren office is on the ninth floor and there's
00:14:31
glass I'm painting a picture for that listeners and then you see the rehearsal down there and you're up there hanging
00:14:38
out with him talking about something and then in his own incredible Lauren way you know be like Kevin's going through that you know it's the second season and where is this you know he cycle analyzes
00:14:51
not not in a very sweet way not mean but you always wonder what he says about you
00:14:56
when you're down there I'm so terrified I I have very close friends who are writers on the show and they just will not tell me and I know it's I know it's
00:15:07
awful and would like never get out of my head what Chloe's is she's kind of stuck
00:15:12
in a uh and they like what yeah yeah yeah yeah or like but then I feel like when he talks about other people and maybe it's that crazy making but you're like is he trying to say something about
00:15:24
me you know where it's like well show and show was you know if you're doing the same thing did in your first year
00:15:30
and your fifth year it's time to go you know and you're hard hard not to be like yeah it's hard to take it constructively and move on yeah remember
00:15:41
one time he said to me any anything new or are you pretty much played out I know it was did Bush senior and Bush Jr have another baby there might be another third one to do yeah and it does
00:15:55
kind of scare you I mean I was this is in 80s early 90s wor about the he'd get me worried and
00:16:01
I'm like it's summertime and I'm [Laughter] like well you know yeah it's remarkably
00:16:08
the same Chloe I have one he told me this is the last thing we'll talk about he said um he goes uh I see you on a lot
00:16:16
of talk shows I go he goes anything to add to that and he goes well they can't miss you if you don't go away ooh that's a good one though that's
00:16:30
a lot of talk shows yeah yeah I mean hey not it's like doing commercials and I think he was saying in general with celebrities do a movie lay low that that was actually the old school now yeah now
00:16:43
it's podcast [ __ ] but you know just go away and but that doesn't work anymore you can't go away there's no way to do
00:16:52
[Music] it back to Chloe's back to we like foul I'm trying to oh what's a pea foul gosh that was a is a peacock yeah yeah it's
00:17:08
like uh maybe that was my first impression yeah we had a bird calling contest at my weird High School uh and
00:17:16
then we were flown and went on David Letterman when I was like 15 [ __ ] sweet and he was kind of dirty yeah yeah
00:17:23
he said or we were dirty we didn't know we were we were said something about like feeling your inner bird but you
00:17:28
were like the like 15-year-old girls it was weird but it went on TV and was that
00:17:33
dirty I don't know he was like whoa uh I think I saw that I think you saw her doing her pee foul yeah I I remember the bird call thing and sound just do it
00:17:46
again because it's reminiscent I must say and my friend it was the way oops I have to get up no no the way they do it in the high
00:17:59
schools like you you kind of put on like sket it's like you do bird sketch you you like develop a skit right my right my friend and I did like some like
00:18:10
Arsenic and Old I don't know we were these two old British ladies and then and then the bird call happens and so
00:18:16
the people who win the bird calling contest ultimately I feel like have not hellishly bad sketch
00:18:23
comedy that's great you know I do one watch this this is birds in the morning God I'm not hitting the high one wait your sound went out you do really quiet Bird play it why say wait what's the
00:18:39
other one oh here's a bird flying away ready you know could fit right in to your high school no you totally the the easiest one was someone if you like grab
00:18:51
your throat for turkey it's like that's ear first year when when you're when you're a
00:19:02
little kid and you're uh you're seeing people on TV doing what you're doing now do you remember that feeling of and then
00:19:08
you're actually doing it it's kind of cool I mean did you I'm trying to think of your age group like who blew your
00:19:14
mind when you were 10 we I mean you you guys certainly did we had a I'm older so we had VHS like
00:19:23
best of VHS tapes that I watch reruns no no they were like compilation yeah bhs's and my best friend had all of them and we stay up and watch them all the time as kids and then when I was
00:19:37
like in high school that was like the Kristen will will era but I've been watching it since I was like I have a video of me as a toddler and Berkeley and The Cone Heads are playing in the
00:19:49
back you know it's just forever love the con and was your dad an actor or my dad
00:19:56
is a is an improv guy no he's in biotech oh I just thought maybe he's in my mom is a painter and my dad uh when my mom was pregnant with my
00:20:09
sister would take me to improv at Fort Mason in San Francisco okay and there were a lot of like Robin Williams
00:20:16
friends and uh her and and I would go to this class with Rob Schneider would take this drop in class yeah and then I is a a little kid
00:20:31
and then he retired re like I don't know 10 years ago and now he goes twice a week once on Saturday in San Francisco and then in Marin in mil Valley on
00:20:42
Wednesdays with my mom may M Valley oh yeah Schneider's from Half Moon house there do you okay I believe you and I might have at one point had the same
00:20:56
doctor in mil whoa he would show you the other guy's x-rays huh guys I'll bring it up offline I don't know I had a weird doctor who claimed to like do you or do your doctor
00:21:11
stuff oh really you should see here's some clips of Dana's colonoscopy you have I have a doctor I still have an MD in San Francisco oh yeah is this boring
00:21:24
you David I'm sorry Dr says no it is but Dana also his uh when he calls in for his prescriptions do the secretary goes oh no I need your
00:21:37
address well no I call in for the same prescription every 30 days she's very sweet you want to do what oh yeah I need the same one I did last
00:21:50
month oh I'm going to have to talk to the doctor and then 30 days later hi it's Dana same prescriptions same Pharmacy so aome oh you want to do what what well don't a
00:22:06
lot of people call for prescriptions oh yes but so what was wait I I have a Chloe question yeah why I have more of my uh nurse impression
00:22:19
on I love it she goes oh she's confused oh you have a question for our guests well first of all she's into fashion I wonder if this green pops on Zoom oh yeah yeah okay that's that's one
00:22:33
definitely and uh that's from someone who has an Instagram where there's like always like it's funny to see you go
00:22:38
from Ser funny Chloe then you're like serious like knockout like fashion show Blue SE that's good um I won't bore you with that but also Nicole Kidman I did a
00:22:50
comment on one of your's Instagrams because the way you say no is so funny and I was trying to relive it with letters but how the way to say no kind
00:23:01
of N I think it's like n a a e e e e nor nor can I it's so I mean do you do you do you try to do these Impressions or do they sometimes just come to you like you seek out okay I'm going to do Nicole
00:23:24
Kidman sometimes at SNL it helps if you're assigned someone and you're try to learn
00:23:30
it no one else does Nicole Kidman or is anyone else not really I feel like I feel like most for Keith Urban yeah yeah you cornered the market I think I I have
00:23:42
weird taste I just like I don't know Merill like I auditioned with like Merill Street Nicole kid Greta Gerwig
00:23:50
like I just really like Greta Gerwig yeah that was like thatg that was the only one thing he last at in my audition I heard him Chu what was your take on her yeah justwood
00:24:02
her like oh yes yes and she talks and you know these little uh gu like shapes and gestures you know like he yeah he
00:24:14
like that's funny if you didn't even know who it was I just remember it's usually like I get inspired I guess when people win Awards like there's like them on talk
00:24:27
shows you get a lot but I think when someone's like having like an emotional thing happen I guess like waiting an
00:24:33
Oscar I just find it so funny like grwi was like Hey yes yes this women yes yes like they're hyperventilating that's how I got my Francis mcdorman was like okay
00:24:44
I'm hypervent okay you know like inclusion writer but like she had a hyperventilating I don't know that's that's usually when they come to me I don't really seek them out I just makes
00:24:55
me laugh so hard about award shows and what you're talking about does it feel like sometimes they'll win the Oscar
00:25:03
like Francis mcdorman and then they'll come up and they're exactly the character like she's this tough totally
00:25:09
you know kind of alpha woman and sometimes maybe to win a Oscar you're just go super far away from the character so that when you get up there
00:25:20
you're like you're like talking like this you're playing some street hood or something uh just an observation
00:25:27
go this is like every every acting class I was ever ever in you're cry you're alone you're Italian go go go um yeah she's name I want to Fan out
00:25:41
on some of these okay we've already done those which I love Reese Witherspoon which is like just a sound kind of like
00:25:48
uhhuh yeah it was like I was watching her on Oprah and the way she said Oprah made me or she was like I'm Oprah and then she be like I'm murder the way she said murder like really me it's like so
00:26:03
like in her throat like you know it's like Ian I guess I do everything is ultimately a bird call I realizing yeah
00:26:15
really yeah kind of how sounds H Jennifer coolage is just so such an interesting you do that right you must oh no I don't who Dana froze did I
00:26:30
freeze keep going chlo almost in a almost in a Jennifer coage way oh you can go yeah oh I mean I everyone I know
00:26:41
has been doing that impression since we were like 10 because we American Pie oh that's
00:26:49
right yeah but Lauren likes gret Gerwig because I think when you come on SNL I only had one impression but if you come on and do something that hasn't been done yeah like walking is at this point
00:27:02
but to do early walking was great like I didn't do it but when you saw we saw him I think J Moore there was some back in
00:27:08
the day I'm like oh my God because you don't see it and then you see it and you go oh it's so clear totally It's good to
00:27:14
find those and the and so if you see somebody new that's great yeah I also find I I think it was when I was like
00:27:21
auditioning there were it was like don't do Drew baramore don't do Jennifer coage don't do Christopher Watkin just stay
00:27:27
away but then I ended up doing Drew beore just because I thought mine was really
00:27:34
good like was uh but I I do think that's that's fun and if I see people do like God I saw someone do like rosem and Pike the other day and I was like that's awesome like that it's exciting you know
00:27:49
yeah because it's not someone who's Overexposed so then you really have to go oh then you go oh that's it you know
00:27:56
totally is totally yeah I'm lazy I find it hard I find it if I make a goal of doing an impression it's kind of it's it's kind of a bad feeling when you first start and you don't have it at all
00:28:08
and you're just doing it to yourself in a room and you have no you're horrible I can't do it at all it's really a weird
00:28:14
how do you do it you just what's your process sorry it's it's that no it's totally that I mean I remember and now I
00:28:21
feel like once you've done enough of them I feel like in a weird way they all sound the same and so you're like I'm not good anymore
00:28:29
you're starting with the same voice your own voice and it's hard to make it so different every time yeah it was easy
00:28:35
when I was like alone in La like chalam was really bad at first but I had like the luxury of just kind of being like sad and alone in my hot apartment with no air conditioning I don't know like
00:28:47
that was yeah easy and then I was doing stuff at ucv and the Groundlings at the time and the worst one I've ever done and I still can't get it was Lena Dunham like I it was like for
00:28:58
show and I think it was like if they sound a little too close to your own to my voice it's like I can't my brain just
00:29:05
like doesn't know what to do right also I don't think people maybe they know when they're listening but a lot of it is also not just you it's a writer knocking at your door at like 1:00 am on
00:29:17
Tuesday going hey can you do uh Sydney Sweeney because we got you doing you're like oh oh tomorrow okay and then you
00:29:23
just have to kind of go all right I got to find something and then a funny wig and then you know things could help a
00:29:29
little bit but totally you've got to uh you got to be ready when you get assigned someone in a sketch I do feel
00:29:36
like if I'm really stuck laughs are such an in oh yeah mouth the way their mouth
00:29:43
what their mouth is doing and their laugh anyway that was that can move around a lot no I just find it interesting like you're um okay so you do all these Impressions and every
00:29:55
everybody knows it and then you're doing car characters and you kind of in a way you don't want to be couched as like
00:30:02
people today it doesn't really matter to me at this point oh you're the impressionist guy well I go what about
00:30:08
church lady G and Hans and frons they go oh so you know inventing Chloe just you
00:30:15
as an actress oh this is my new character you want to do you want to do what I'm GNA have to talk to Lauren uh but I just thought uh in
00:30:30
inventing Chloe was such a cool and uh Piper dunster and I I feel like someone who can has an ear and can do these things can also of course do all these other things it's just it's on demand on
00:30:44
Saturday night Liv there's a lot of demand for celebrity Impressions so it's for someone with biggest payoff Talent
00:30:51
yeah I feel like all of us kind of you know you like find the thing that you can get on the show in your first year
00:30:57
or two Sarah disgusting uh me Sarah's like Prosthetics brilliant and then I was like Impressions and then you know you're like okay this is like my life raft um but now that I'm in my fifth
00:31:10
year like I haven't really done that many this year I don't know it's it's nice that we can stretch ourselves keep
00:31:16
coming up yeah you go Sarah's like guys nobody do a six foot tall vagina this week because I'm doing it like okay is that like an update thing yeah but Sarah say like Sarah's done
00:31:28
like amazing characters this year and like these awesome pre-tapes and I kind of really focused on pre-tapes for like
00:31:36
back like last year and the year before that was like the thing and now I've done a lot more live I don't know it's cool you can really like stretch
00:31:42
yourself at the show what was the character you did a pre-tape with during Co where you had a short blonde wig and then you you played both parts
00:31:49
Ole yeah Ole and then you and she was living with you and then you had to fil did you have to do that all yourself or
00:31:55
not yeah yeah yeah my boyfriend film yeah he was in the other room working on a quby show wanting to absolutely murder me the whole time
00:32:07
Rip r are you drinking hairspray what is that a a water bottle I have I have a notion I don't know what it is but I I I when I think of you as an actress and
00:32:24
wanting to really commit there's something in my head here that it's you and Sarah probably presentational like
00:32:31
some sort of science uh Symposium to high school kids or something and there's little volcanoes in goo and Sarah starts to make sexual innuendos
00:32:42
and you're just get really really mad like you accelerate to I will [ __ ] you up you know basically without saying that if you do that one you take her aside I just think you letting go with
00:32:54
that kind of anchor on anger on great doing maybe it's a you yourself just the rhythm of that I see you being so funny in that character we were
00:33:07
talking no that's really we we want to go again like when it was Sarah's first year and we got the please don't the PDD boys to stay up till like 5: in the
00:33:18
morning writing this sketch where we were like it we were kids we were sisters who had come home
00:33:24
trick-or-treating we were covered in chocolate like on a sugar high and it was Jason sedus and him and Heidi were
00:33:30
like realizing they were going through a divorce and we kept like interrupting being
00:33:36
like I don't know and it was the hardest bomb ever the PDD guys were like that the worst sketch we've ever done and she and I haven't written since we haven't
00:33:47
done anything like it's so really yeah we got to get over we realized that in Austin like I haven't written with the
00:33:52
pdds since this candy thing it's like you really you bought yourself can you get eye contact in the hallway with yeah no we like love each other I just was like God and it was so long ago I think
00:34:05
everyone's forgotten but sometimes when you when you bomb that badly it's like hard to recover a
00:34:11
bit well what if you science fair and you're in high this is more of a sketch get all dryer and she goes it's like the
00:34:19
volcano is is coming and then you go can I talk to you for a second what are you I want to see you escalating getting angry you know like hair a frizzy wig and I will F I just
00:34:32
feel like that I will Fu you yeah basically I don't know do the P guys all the work they take your suggestions um no they yeah they work
00:34:46
they work really well with the cast um and then they do their own stuff Jake one for them oh no no they don't
00:34:55
never do that although although there's a Jake nordwind who pitched oh he pitched something to them and it didn't it didn't go but you know they're open to I there's a lot of like today's
00:35:08
Monday so when I get to work everyone will be in Mike dzo and Jake's office or pdb's office and they all kind of like give each other ideas in a way right the
00:35:19
host who's the host DOA oh nice who's the music D Lea um who's G to be most of the sketches there's a lot of doubles lately
00:35:35
I don't know if I love it there's a lot of duas get it that was so bad yep I'm all week I used to be a a
00:35:44
licensed therapist oh I didn't know that so what are you you're five years in you're doing great on the show you have all your buddies there you're in the trenches with everybody yeah um what's
00:35:56
your what what is your headp space like are you feeling like cuz some people like Eddie Murphy day one they're like at a 10 as far as comfort there in your
00:36:07
fifth season are you're feeling good excited are you're still like where you at are where you at where at where you
00:36:16
at uh I mean we only have three shows left so I definitely and it's 80 degrees New York so it's definitely that like
00:36:23
senior Vibe I also thinki is a little bit there's also I remember uh there there's like those life rafts you need in a year you know like you need enough things to hit to feel like you're not getting fired I still I mean because I
00:36:38
knew people in their fifth year who did get let go you know so it's it never goes away it's a common feeling yeah and
00:36:44
I think now I'm kind of like well so and so needs a like making sure enough people need wins although that's just
00:36:51
what other writers have said they're like I'm not going to write with you they say wins I never even heard that WIS you know just something that they
00:36:57
make Mark really no makes sense hits yeah they were like you've had a good you had a good run had a couple doubles but not a home run lately yeah yeah they're like I need to help because when
00:37:08
you reach out to writers like I need I'll try and help you with this but I need to help so and so get a
00:37:15
hit it is hard to ask a writer I would ask Smigel or I'd ask Conan and they're like they're already busy with something
00:37:21
it's hard to go hey I have knock knock I have a dog [ __ ] idea that's not formed at all did you spend
00:37:28
uh three hours cracking the code with me to make it a C+ yeah yeah we're busy no
00:37:34
I have a lot of like I I don't know I I'm not as like Brazen about right like I'm like I have to have I hate wasting their time and like I'm the most nervous on the show just in terms of like
00:37:46
letting writers down and and the fears that they won't want to work with me again because that is like the only way
00:37:52
to survive the show and so yeah I don't really care about if the sketch I guess I only care about like well these people help me write it and if they cut it those people aren't going to write with me again you know so like that is a big
00:38:07
part of it and and having enough yeah yeah and and it is that thing of like I can waste this writer's time for like
00:38:14
two hours trying to crack my horrible idea or I can just like my whispy idea suffer alone until I S somehow have an idea I've gotten better with that I
00:38:25
don't like suffocate writers to help me as I don't know if I don't have something I'll be like I'm gonna I'm
00:38:32
just gonna sleep on this and not like ruin someone's I don't want to ruin relationships you just gave me a sense
00:38:39
memory of like Tuesday night at 2 am I know and you're in a room with writer and everyone's just like this yeah the idea the sule is just def play it's just
00:38:52
like yeah five minutes of no talking and then like what maybe if Farley could come in and you know fall to the ceiling and save it it's
00:39:04
horrible that's no one's no one is laughing everyone's like bloodshot eyes and it's like well Keenan could enter
00:39:11
Keenan's are yeah all yeah 100% yeah right Keenan is so articulate and so clear and has such a strong voice and he has like a
00:39:23
mischievous Vibe about him like he's not breaking but you clearly sees enjoying it by the way I just want to ask held together that beavers and but I was gonna ask you about the beavs and Butthead because I know you came came in
00:39:36
at the end I think and yeah and so I thought because um Ryan Gosling is such a huge star and his attitude he's he's kind of breaking the whole show but it's so entertaining yeah so because people
00:39:51
but that's the that's kind of a famous show and now a famous sketch of the most bro broken
00:39:58
just speak to your from your point of view it was well for Mikey none of us knew that's what even when we were oh really that's what I thought they escalated it right we knew yeah like
00:40:12
when we blocked it on Thursday everyone was laughing just because of the the lines that Ryan and Mikey have are so
00:40:19
stupid like I think Ryan has a line yeah where he's like I actually have a really busy life like that would always make
00:40:25
Mikey like yeah the dumbest line ever actually and you think he's not talking to him he's like this guy over here yeah they ad lived on Thursday or maybe it was Friday when we were blocking they're
00:40:36
like I don't know this hi John nice to meet you like that was added uh but yeah just Mikey just looked so [ __ ] dumb it was it was shocking what was the
00:40:48
difference in his makeup between because everyone had seen it at dress it wasn't yeah we all saw it at dress I think it
00:40:54
was just the it was like this he just changed amped up a few percentage points he just made himself like 20%
00:41:05
Dumber all you need yeah and Kenan never BR like Keenan carried that like I don't think the would worked as much if you
00:41:12
didn't have to the point where like rolling yeah by the time it got to me I was like I can't like super break it's annoying like yeah right it was already
00:41:22
yeah CA did Heidi stop Heidi was already that was yeah yesterday yeah yeah yeah I
00:41:28
think so I don't know I'll see her today I seen her yeah hiding never breaks that
00:41:33
was what was so like delightful about and it was more than a break it was laugh out loud gut it made me laugh I think that thing has like 20 million
00:41:45
views or something I mean it's really kind of it's awesome did Mike yeah well Mikey and Heidi have known each other
00:41:51
forever so it's I think it's also like two longtime friends I I she's yeah with a lot of love for each other so it's like it was so heart heart yeah there's a lot of love behind that too it was
00:42:04
just great it was fun to see everyone looked funny in it uh the bead and then just seeing that and then she really
00:42:10
like got like she can't stop which is always fun to watch just fun one and Ryan Gosling's a huge star the construction of of the writing of having Keenan be the voice of the audience like
00:42:23
stupid AI conversation they look like but and that and that and that then the seriousness and back and forth it's sort
00:42:29
of just really well it operated all cylinders it did but I don't know if you know this but like they have pitched that sketch so many times I didn't know this oh really
00:42:41
yeah there's a Jonah Hill dress rehearsal you can watch there wow oh yeah this is like the third time maybe and they said the Jonah Hill one's like
00:42:52
hilarious it just never like made it past the finish line so it was cool when air when it happened on air all these writers came down like Streeter sidel was there watching it because I think he
00:43:03
has taken that thing to table like five times geez whoa motivational speaker didn't get on right away that took a long time really and that's people would be shocked and actually the writer Bob
00:43:14
Odenkirk had left and then we came back in the season and did it uh that's that's a weird scenario that's crazy
00:43:25
[Music] have new cast members uh which ones have come on since in The Last 5 Years so
00:43:32
that you would be the Wy veteran or or you came in with Bowen and just Shane Shane for yeah Shane Shane Shane yeah did you meet Shane when that happened or
00:43:44
you never even got to meet no no a part of me like no I I met him at like a one of those like waren baseball games like
00:43:51
two years later he was so sweet um can you get us some hot dogs Chloe would you like what do you want chain you met him there he was there yeah at a
00:44:03
baseball game like two years later yeah it was crazy oh two years later yeah yeah but Bowen was a writer before I was so I really felt very new but bulla Dan
00:44:15
bua and I were the were the same year uh and then love danula genus genus is solid solid and you came in as feature writer or just feature or cast cast I
00:44:30
was just no no feature cast cast future player I think they call it a player yeah and then gosh who came after me uh then it was like Andre just m and can't remember you know
00:44:49
everyone who's on the show yeah I do I'm you're like I'm I just trying to remember it was like me
00:44:56
and Bowen then I feel like it was Punky Andre Lauren Hall then came the Sarah J this guy Aristotle year then then they brought in a hundred people
00:45:08
marello uh Mar Michel Devin and Molly four who does The Impressions and then she's not there anymore Melissa Melissa Melissa Melissa was already there yeah
00:45:20
yeah yeah she was like three years in when I started Melissa had been there for four or five years I see her Marell
00:45:27
one thing that speaks to your ability is the understudy sketch where you did Melissa and you did um Kate to them um
00:45:38
that was kind of interesting how did they take that or I was so scared especially like you know I think we are
00:45:45
all really close but you know when I started the show like Kate had been on the show for like nine years and was a
00:45:51
superstar but is one of the loveliest weirdest I was about to be like down to earth and very down toe but like P I was like I think I'll get a kick out of it but like cesley I was really intimidated
00:46:04
all those women I was so intimidated by but then it was sort of this like sweet sesley was like so into it which was
00:46:10
shocking and Kate was great um and I I was like it was the thing too when I had started if you had a pre-tape I've written actually with Dean buo we wrote this murder show and like just getting
00:46:23
those super seniors to be in your video was so hard so I was like shocked that they even were open to being in a
00:46:30
pre-tape can they turn it down seniors I've had I've had things turned down yeah what that was that was already approved of recast yeah I've had that
00:46:42
yeah I wouldn't do that anymore yeah I'm not revealing anybody but you know but then you have you how many say Kate has never Kate was always in everything and
00:46:53
that meant a lot to me I've never turned anything love the pre-tapes I could be there for hours pre- tapes are tough now
00:47:00
do you do you don't do them when do you start that's my last question when do you start on pre-tapes because we used to only do them Dana right after read
00:47:07
through or like on a Wednesday no Thursday Wednesday Thursday kind of yeah yeah how do you know what what's approved before Ryan goson gets her do you get him working Monday morning no
00:47:20
well now they're doing these promos so like I have to shoot a promo tomorrow as you walk around with a host or do
00:47:27
they're like can you do a dual eaper impression I'm like no so I'll I'll do like I'll find some bird call version of
00:47:33
her tonight so you literally right now just for our listeners so you've been assigned this impression yeah and you
00:47:41
have to have it down by tomorrow and you don't have it right now no she's British no I'm not like a like Melissa was part
00:47:48
of Melissa's genius was she could do these singing impress like Lady Gaga I cannot think life with me yeah well
00:47:55
you'll have a funny wig you'll have an accent you're halfway there yeah we'll be okay but otherwise yeah Wednesday
00:48:03
night you they pick your stuff hopefully and it's cool with the pre-tapes because usually you'll get an email like 15
00:48:10
minutes before the picks are out asking to zoom for your video so so it's really sick as hell to be like oh than got like
00:48:18
we did oh you know that's how you find out you got on yeah yeah did like a Pilates video and it was like you got
00:48:25
the Bing and we were like oh and then when is it the next morning no then we then they have to build they build the set Thursday and then we shoot it
00:48:35
Friday uh and then but for like the under when it would be like a me Centric video that would be done sometimes they would pick it on Wednesday but not
00:48:49
really and then' be like we're going to do this next week but shoot it like on Monday or we're going to shoot it on Tuesday and then the writers were so mad
00:48:57
uh they inventing Chloe we shot on Thursday so that was the next day and we weren't thinking and it was when everyone was doing like rewrites I think and we had we wanted like seafood Towers
00:49:11
so we basically like stunk up oh I saw that 17 that looked expensive by the way it really expensive it was really gross and like all the writers were like locked in the they were so
00:49:23
mad oh yeah that was cool that re right table with Jim Downey was probably dating what 15 hours of G just going
00:49:32
over every goddamn and you weren't even in him or you wrote one you just go Spade wake up what do you got for me on
00:49:38
this one you're like what if this guy says this yeah yeah that's that's a tough that was a tough job that day all
00:49:45
right Dana what else you have for lovely cloth do you have a question you're off the show this week There's no show this
00:49:50
week no I'm kidding I'm kidding so I we'll do another hour unless to do we can go into our second hour but just say hello hello to the cast
00:50:03
they're all brilliant it's the show's cooking uh yeah it is it really it's like found it but we've like figured
00:50:10
each other out a little bit more yeah pad Sarah Sherman the audience just keeps discovering yeah crazy Sarah what did she say the son has
00:50:23
knockers oh yeah she was on her show she goes by the way just FYI audience Dana and I I told her later I go we both found out later we didn't understand the
00:50:34
we didn't understand and we just laughed cuz it was so bananas but she said you know they say the Earth is flat but I
00:50:41
think the sun has big knockers I didn't connect that and then we did all these jokes about it and then later when I saw
00:50:47
it on a clip I go oh I get it I didn't even get it she I didn't hear the Earth is flat so that was the thing that I I
00:50:54
thought it was non sequ and I was like why do I even say I'm in comedy I didn't get it I was so embarrassing she did a
00:51:02
bit and we thought it was funny anyway cuz she was like you know how the son his big the son has big knockers CU
00:51:09
she has a funny voice she has kind of she has um but you can go walk to work now I could actually today or do you have a limo no no no no I like the sub
00:51:23
we're I'm near West forth so it's like seven minutes 5 minutes on the train get out all right our La our last thing
00:51:30
we'll let you go do you have a fake pitch for the re the uh meeting today like Chloe this will'll be like uh Chloe anything you're like hi
00:51:42
daa that's how you start yeah yeah hi da um so over the break that's usually how
00:51:48
it starts I'm gonna think so I'm the worst at it yeah mine are like weird everyone has their thing there is our Sarah Marcelo kind of does this like so
00:52:00
I was H thinking that he does like a chalam like sexy baby thing I take I'll I'll have it one way and then the pitch is so bad but then sometimes they do become sketches yeah they bite on the
00:52:14
host doesn't know they bite on a fake pitch and you go uh oh Sydney Sweeney I pitched for the Hooters idea where I was
00:52:20
like maybe we're get Hooters and we're counting tips I get $20 and made like you're like cool I made like $40,000 and then she DMD me to
00:52:31
write it and then we got in so much trouble for like sexualizing fcking funny but it was your
00:52:38
pervert over here I know you perv that was a good one though it was very funny When you're
00:52:43
counting your money stupid yeah so stupid some of that just silliness I think uh this is sort of I don't just
00:52:51
the way the world is all this madness and everything and just abstraction that's why be was a butthead maybe it
00:52:58
besides hit so hard and that's Hooter sketch just I think we're in the mood for like just I know I think so I think the political clim like we also like
00:53:11
it's you you can kind of touch it but not really it's like it's so it's it's opened the the door for weird which I
00:53:18
think is so nice weird like a relief yeah yeah because I I'm not the smartest with the political stuff so h i don't I do I do these little shorts for this just because if I do Biden I feel like
00:53:31
I'm doing something really nasty and wrong anyway so I kind of to do it yeah people get so mad when he there so many Trump jokes but I have done some silly little things and people I don't know
00:53:43
people seem to like that now I don't know what you call it abstract or weird weird I like that I I like that a lot
00:53:50
but but movies are like I was thinking that the Sasquatch Sunset I don't know movies are weird everything's weird
00:53:57
we're in the era age of weird you know it's funny because there's a lot of superhero movies because I figured out
00:54:04
that the bad guy can't be a certain race or religion so you make him just a monster and then no one gets mad you know what I mean or you going be
00:54:14
a Transformer and I go think of the influence the influence on on entertainment is because of the trauma
00:54:22
of Hiroshima in Japan there was all this radioactive Godzilla movies and worse than there so it is an influence on whatever the zagge store the emotional uh fre the emotional
00:54:37
temperature of the culture are we are totally so two people having fun being really silly and you know it's just
00:54:44
