them hello Dana we'd like to tell everyone we are starting with Mikey day
00:00:55
today who is a present cast member 10year vet we got to know him very well
00:01:02
I might have to say I don't think we've ever had a a sweeter or nicer person on
00:01:08
the podcast we've had many we've had many sweet and nice ones but he was uh incredibly uh generous and curious about
00:01:15
our careers which was flattering but also uh very self-deprecating and he we
00:01:21
go over his his tenure on SNL and he's he's on there now and he's he's got some
00:01:26
amazing what with the pumpkin sketch what's it called David S pumpkins sorry David S pumpkins he wrote co-wrote a lot
00:01:34
of um great sketches on that show we broke down a few sketches but mostly talk about the overall feel there that
00:01:40
this one was very SNL and then uh his co-stars um we talked about us a little
00:01:47
bit which is normal unfortunately we kept bringing
00:01:53
you know you throw aing and it comes back to he he was curious about us cuz he's maybe in the age group when he was
00:02:00
like a very small little boy I was on the a baby in a crib watching
00:02:05
us he's he's the old warhorse series the grizzled vet he looks he looks pretty
00:02:12
good looks pretty fresh for being a grizzled vet but uh I hope everyone
00:02:17
enjoys it we had a great time with them here he is Mikey [Music]
00:02:24
day oh my God I'm so sorry sorry this we've had this so many times the worst
00:02:30
was Martin I know but not it's happening I'm like I'm
00:02:35
seeing my heroes on screen and then I'm hearing you guys do Lauren and I'm like I want to participate in this bit and I
00:02:42
can't I can't get out well what uh where are where are you
00:02:47
are you at I'm in New York okay I'm doing this I was in this very small role
00:02:54
in this Jerry Seinfeld movie in Netflix poptarts they're doing like a promotion yeah yeah yeah they're doing a
00:03:00
promotional day and it's so funny because it's the only day I've had
00:03:06
something and because I it's our twoe Hiatus so I've just been at home yeah
00:03:11
and then of course the one day that I have this that I've been looking forward to and I like went through all my stuff
00:03:18
in my home computer to make sure that I'd be good and then the internet was failing and I was like oh God I see them
00:03:26
happens to almost every person we do it so don't worry we don't need need another hero that's very nice can I ask
00:03:32
you a question uh poptart like if Jerry did that Jerry
00:03:38
Seinfeld did I ever do Jerry Seinfeld's new album he's coming out vinyl go ahead
00:03:44
it's a vinyl album comedy album Jerry Seinfeld and all is a picture of Jerry and it says paper clips
00:03:52
why sorry paperclips dot dot dot why but but the the thing is Jerry as you know
00:03:59
is uh a technician like he worked on his Pop-Tart bit for like years right and
00:04:06
couldn't quite find the language I felt like I found almost like an Easter egg of a fatal flaw in the bit and this this
00:04:14
is what it was only about the standup not the movie that's why I'll be curious if he does the theme the idea was when
00:04:20
Pop-Tarts came it blew the right out of my head like the kids went just crazy
00:04:27
the Fatal flaw cuz I'm in the same age group mhm they weren't very good what
00:04:32
who poput the [ __ ] up no that was a lot of you put them in the toaster very little Jam or good stuff and that was
00:04:39
the Fatal flaw he was playing it like the kids were blown away but no compared to a Twinkie or host's
00:04:45
cupcake um let's go to the phones Jerry's on line one right now I disagree
00:04:52
um that's so funny yeah hot take I used to eat them plain really but compared to
00:04:59
like a Hostess pie you know with the crust around it like those yeah when I
00:05:04
was a kid those those were great I feel like they're a lot now but I would as a kid would 100% go for Hostess or a
00:05:11
Twinkie over a Pop-Tart yeah yeah Pop-Tarts was that's that's fine we had him but I I'd be curious because Jerry
00:05:18
the technician he would have some answer for that well in the Pop-Tart movie when is it coming out let's just promote that
00:05:25
let's yeah why not just count it as CR it's in May I'm not here to promote that
00:05:30
that's fine throw it in the mix I don't want you guys to feel like oh God he's got to promote his thing but it comes
00:05:35
out in May I just found that all no we're what we do on this show is we like to uh we vet and we we shine a light on
00:05:43
SNL cast members such as yourself uh because it because it's kind of fun
00:05:49
because we've been in the malstrom we've been in in the war room we know everything about it and you do too so
00:05:55
David do you have a question for Mikey yeah do you know this sign felt bit I was out I was out the other night eating
00:06:03
at a Chinese restaurant and and we were laughing it was all Comedians and we were laughing at uh when he he he he
00:06:12
says Chopsticks they've seen the fork and they're still what they've seen
00:06:19
the fork and they're still sticking just out of spite they're still chicken sticking the Chopsticks it's very funny
00:06:26
Dana he's fantastic Jerry will bludgeon and in a good way he will hit like he'll
00:06:33
go to the grocery store and just go around the store and have these amazing observations and over time you just
00:06:40
you're just my favorite of his was so they the couo they can't get them out of
00:06:45
the forest and they wake up and they're hanging from the helicopter what are they thinking I guess I can fly
00:06:53
now I'm doing I'm doing Ed win as a substitute it turned God and you guys
00:07:02
know who Ed win is oh I'm thinking of Paul Lynn who did Ed win Ed wiim was like from the 1940s
00:07:09
he was kind of chubby has had a little hat on he go whoopy dooo whoopy Doo okay
00:07:15

00:07:21
into a party in the 70s he goes uh uh smells like [ __ ] in here I
00:07:32
think that's true that happened Fant I think my friend was there wait did he do
00:07:39
the Matt Hatter Edwin
00:07:45
or even yes even I think Adam Sandler had a
00:07:51
little audio influence oh yeah yeah in the
00:07:57
same 100% I can't I am fascinated first of all I
00:08:05
love you both obviously I'm going to be gross I saw we'll take it thank you let
00:08:10
me I saw clean slate in the movie theater Dana [ __ ] 94 by

myself and saw no I I remember enjoying it and black sheep in the movie theater
00:08:25
I mean Tomy boy obviously no one was there by myself
00:08:30
Black Sheep was great black sheep yeah I'll tell you about Clean Slate I didn't really know what I was doing but anyway
00:08:37
uh in those days you'd have dailies so there's like 10 minutes of the movie and so I'm in a theater kind of by myself I
00:08:43
think and I'm watching the dailies and I go oh it's
00:08:50

00:08:57
oh but everyone's got a dog in their house come on man um but uh that's very
00:09:03
flattering you know when we did a we were talking about you a while back and for some reason I had a mental Hiccup
00:09:09
and I kept calling you Mikey day the podcast it was in Mickey I was
00:09:15
calling you Mickey I was calling you Mikey instead of Mickey no it's actually Mikey no I remember yeah sorry about
00:09:22
that it's because I worked with Mickey Rooney I worked with Mickey Rooney and that's what got in my head but so you
00:09:29
were Michael and how did you become Mikey is that I know I use the it's a big jump the CH I Devin Walker on the
00:09:38
show was like and are you sticking with Mikey into your adult life this is
00:09:44
you're not gonna change it I was I mean I was always Michael and then in college
00:09:49
people just started calling me Mikey and it just kind of stuck but I think I remember my first year here the first
00:09:56
pitch meeting Lauren kind of going Mike like is this grown man going by
00:10:02
Mikey is this what we're doing here do I need to call this grown man Mikey but
00:10:08
yeah have you thought about Big Mike have you thought about Big Mike does everyone do come on yeah of course
00:10:16
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh you have a little breath coming you have a breath that's a new thing let's see how you
00:10:27
go well look a little like Ed Sullivan I'm sorry to go back to the 70s I mean
00:10:32
I'm not yeah you hear like Bill haters and stuff they're like okay was that
00:10:38
little quiet one is so hilarious it was me Jeff dmer um a celebrity we always like doing
00:10:46
Lauren the bit of him being excited about stuff because he's so even keeled
00:10:52
just him being oh my god did you oh my god did you hear like it's just funny
00:10:57
imagining oh [ __ ] is coming up everyone places yeah just
00:11:04
about stupid nerdy stuff oh my god did you see the trailer for Deadpool 3
00:11:10
oh Deadpool 3 did you ever go to a Yankees game with him oh yeah once the
00:11:16
Yankees games with Lauren are the best because it was like uh it'll be you
00:11:21
Lauren and Senator Chris do and you're like what yes the very cool dude but
00:11:28
it's you never know who's I had uh if you remember I think he passed away uh we're going in Paul um and Lou Lou May
00:11:37
Lou Mau the French director is coming with this you know like like okay he's
00:11:42
never seen baseball but but it's a grand slam it's like that thing of like the
00:11:48
crowd's really going nuts uh I would you like another beer uh we better than a home run
00:11:55
because the bases of course are loaded yeah well it's the fourth inning should we
00:12:02
leave and it's like should we take off should we go I was there once and it
00:12:07
there was a rain delay so we were in like the restaurant area near the those
00:12:14
seats but like it was so crowded because everyone was in there and there's nowhere to sit and it was weird just
00:12:19
being like I'm with Lauren and he has nowhere to sit we need to fix it do something yeah and so these we were just
00:12:26
sitting at this like large circular table with these very like Yankees fans
00:12:31
dudes it was very surreal but it was like two hours and then they finally just canceled the game Lauren's like I
00:12:38
see one bar stool I'll catch up with you guys later Deuces um just drinks up at
00:12:43
the bar slamming shots Lauren Lauren I I I don't know how you guys did the
00:12:50
show before like cell phones and text messages because the amount of
00:12:55
information that you're const especially on Saturday did you just call each
00:13:01
other's dressing rooms I guess go yeah and just visit people I guess I guess
00:13:07
you need did you just talk to people I know yeah we did I mean we do that but like throughout the week like talking to
00:13:13
props and stuff like we need this and just the constant communication I'll say the worst part Mikey uh
00:13:20
was for the for those of you at home the show is on the eighth floor and not only
00:13:27
are the offices on 17 but you still have to cross elevators I think so you have
00:13:32
to go take two different elevators to get back to your office and it was all day going back and forth because you
00:13:37
couldn't text you couldn't if you call someone they're never in their dressing room so you have to go look for people
00:13:43
if you could text them got the layer of stress of just anything in Marcy Klein
00:13:48
running around looking for nor McDonald or something it's just all crazy so I wish I had that we didn't have computers
00:13:54
laptops to write our sketches so we had to drive them in from home hand them in on paper I would write them long long
00:14:02
hand and hand them in yeah you hand them in long hand and then they write theye there was like a big stack or
00:14:09
something because I I think I heard Mike Myers talking about writing up Wayne's World and he said there was like a big
00:14:15
bin or something of scripts and he would just he like put it into the yeah which
00:14:21
is crazy put it in the stack and then they would take it like Mad Men type it one at a time I think we were using
00:14:27
hieroglyphics hey yeah and so we just did that and then you'd get your sketch and you'd get
00:14:33
it before read through and you'd be like oh my God there's Miss spelling or they put the host name wrong or they put the
00:14:39
wrong and you're like it's too late we're in that's insane yeah now you just
00:14:44
drop it in the file and onto the server it's all on the computer that's wild
00:14:50
files and attachments are too much for me I we had a bulletin board look at the difference here we had a small bulletin
00:14:56
board with letters of the week like maybe 10 letters that you could get feedback from the audience compared to
00:15:03
what you guys have now inant social media people going I hate you there were
00:15:09
some oh you should do this and that but it's was like 10 letters that was it a week that we just saw on a board that was the only
00:15:15
feedback that guy likes me in Indiana that's insane that's
00:15:25
[Music] one what was just cuz people going to want to know what was your journey how
00:15:31
how much you want to share you're like you were a Theater Arts guy in high school college yeah and then went to UCLA and
00:15:38
studied oh oh did you have a dream did you have a dream of how that would go
00:15:45
and was SNL part of it or you just like want to be in Show Business and want to make a living doing this or both I mean
00:15:52
SNL was always kind of at the at the top I would say um but it just felt so far
00:16:00
away and unattainable and then I started taking classes at the Groundlings and there's
00:16:07
so many pictures of there there of people on SNL and so it felt a little more
00:16:14
attainable but it still felt far away and the odds would be impossible and
00:16:20
then I KN I went to college with Nim Pedrad and Taran kilum who were on the
00:16:26
cast definitely and then they brought me in as a writer suddenly Mikey doesn't sound so
00:16:32
crazy exactly Mike sounds Nickelodeon it sounds like a Nickelodeon show theim
00:16:39
Taran and Mikey um hey everybody it's Mikey
00:16:44
hey it does feel very Nickelodeon whoa on an all new Mikey um but they brought
00:16:51
me in as a writer and then wrote for three were you allowed to ripe yourself
00:16:58
pardon were you allowed to write for yourself no I was just a writer at the
00:17:03
time isn't that isn't that horrifying we weren't weren't you didn't you start as a writer yeah I didn't it was a writer
00:17:09
performer which is worse it was like pretending I could write for myself but I you're like a writer and performer
00:17:17
yeah but no one's writing anything for me and so I have to write and I wee myself in two lines and they're like what are you doing I'm like no I'm just
00:17:23
I'm the teenager so they're like no Mike Myers can put a baseball cap on I'm like you're like [ __ ] uh okay I would go I

00:21:25
oh this is just a joke machine you just put every every member comes through screen time it gets a little H
00:21:32
it gets a little more heated as you go and Helen Hunt looks perfectly innocent perfect one to do it yeah buby do do you
00:21:40
feel I have a question Charlie sorry sorry my face here um Charlie finam was
00:21:47
on the his his name is right in front of my face I'm not crazy he's just on one of our producer how was the interview
00:21:53
Dana called me Charlie the whole time but I didn't correct but it is on the screen I'm just curious that you now
00:22:00
you're there and I was looking at the new cast and just this whole thing that I didn't have that much the new guys
00:22:06
came in then I left but this turnover you're writing these multiple
00:22:12
Generations the Kate McKinnon people and terum and now you have I looked at you
00:22:17
know Chloe fan you have I don't know AO with him I'm trying to get all the names
00:22:23
Andrew pun I mean how do you are you are you like sort of taking people on your wing a little bit do you know I mean
00:22:29
you're like you kind of know the system you're a 10year lifer right BR as a
00:22:34
quarterback you know the system I know how it operates but so
00:22:40
when people come in and they watch you and you're in so many things and we'll get to your Superstar
00:22:45
sketches um that you do they they ask you stuff you you feel you can help them
00:22:51
out or what's that like with new new fresh recruits coming off the uh do you box them out do you ice them do you get
00:22:58
in their heads they look like the aliens you know they look like Amelia airheart coming off the mother ship and close
00:23:05
counters de in the headlights back I would like Joe hazm like first
00:23:13
table but I mean it's I feel like it's definitely very friendly I've definitely
00:23:19
heard stories about kind of the show in past years it sounds kind of intense and
00:23:25
the competition maybe those stories are like blown out of proportion as the
00:23:31
years go on but I feel like if it's very friendly and everyone's you Mikey it's
00:23:38
like the bachelor where they're all friendly at the beginning and then it gets down like and then it starts time
00:23:44
and you're like wait you're still here and it's either you or them yeah and it's just the bachel are always friendly
00:23:50
until toward the end then they're like can can I pull you aside he's been really saying shitty things about you
00:23:56
and they're like what and like no I'm just saying I just feel like you should know well the fre the freude of somebody
00:24:03
getting loose like going out and making a hit movie or you know then then the kind of the apple cart is sort of rocked
00:24:11
a little bit Mike and I with the freak itude of Wayne's World at at a certain point they would bring in giant like
00:24:17
stuff you'd put laundry in with fan mail you know that I can't imagine being on
00:24:23
the show and a couple cast members were in a
00:24:29
movie that was not only successful but waynew was like an insane insane cultural Touchstone and
00:24:37
you guys were still on the show yeah yeah they were bigger than the host sometimes yeah it would be like when
00:24:45
would you decide to do Wayne's World I remember as a kid like they would air it on Comedy Central they would air one
00:24:52
hour reruns mhm and taping it and waiting for the little Aurora Illinois a
00:24:58
little access graphic um and that's how I was kind of
00:25:04
introduced to that era of SNL I remember when I was little little my dad showed me some rerun of cone heads like of SNL
00:25:14
it was cone heads on Family Feud I'd never seen the show Family Feud is a [ __ ]
00:25:19
great like name something you bite into and Dan Aid's like a trapes I was like
00:25:26
what is this I love it name something you eat with eggs fiberglass yes and Bill Murray
00:25:34
is so grow so like so smart but those sketches were long back in the day I was
00:25:40
like this is 11 minutes right they'd go to a commercial and come back to the end of the Family
00:25:46
Feud sketch yeah you're like 11 minutes
00:25:51
yeah you know what uh I just saw your uh there was a couple funny ones we're jumping around but
00:25:58
uh the one oh when you were in the car recently with qu I think traffic altercation one
00:26:06
yeah right yeah that was one of those sketches that you look at and you go oh
00:26:11
man what what a brilliant notion tight very well done did you write or co-write
00:26:18
that or has an ending yeah I done it at um a very loose version at Groundlings
00:26:25
and the Sunday company a while ago live with um Kevin
00:26:30
burnson and was like I wonder if you can adapt this I mean I had to change it a
00:26:36
lot for the TV cameras yeah yeah it it was cool that they were able to figure it out though it's funny they they all
00:26:43
whenever there's cars and sketches they bring in these massive black sedans and
00:26:49
so we both you can't really see in the sketch but we're both driving I think
00:26:56
identical m massive black sedan like generic huge TV car hacker from the 50s
00:27:05
just gross inside I did like at the end they pull away and then you can see for one second the green screen and how you
00:27:11
got because I'm like I didn't see the camera at the beginning but then you and then I thought it was a pre-tape because they were showing you from down here and
00:27:18
her closeup and then when they pull away I go oh it is live cuz I I remember Lauren used to say they always would
00:27:25
rather have it live if they could and so and that was a great one I mean it's
00:27:30
cool when you can try to play with the I guess parameters of live stuff like I
00:27:38
write with Streeter sidel and Streeter sidel and I write all the time together we're always trying to think like what's
00:27:45
something kind of different we could do to play with the medium because it's cool if you can
00:27:50
score uh with a Live sketch because the pre-tapes you just have more time and
00:27:57
you can kind of play with it a lot more and I think people are more used to seeing film stuff you know online but to
00:28:06
have something that works live and kind of resonates with people is a lot of fun
00:28:11
soor just live that something can go wrong even in a great sketch it just gets tilted there miscue and it can
00:28:17
unravel even a great sketch so for this one it seemed like your air you landed
00:28:22
it probably the best of the week that yeah I mean it really landed it felt great yeah it definitely um Colin Jo
00:28:31
because there's a moment when Chloe who plays my daughter Khloe fean she is
00:28:38
miming like you suck and she's um using funny she uses both her hands and then
00:28:45
Colin Jo in the hallway came up and pitched the joke he's he was like you should say I don't
00:28:52
love that you use two hands which was one of the funniest lines in big laugh
00:28:58
her doing that was funny you saying that was funny call calling her a [ __ ] and pointing at her was funny and then you
00:29:03
did it was hilarious Quint Brunson was perfect in it as well yeah she did a great job she
00:29:10
was great because at the table I was like there's a lot of gesturing and I
00:29:15
kind of gave her an example but you can't really script out you know like
00:29:21
move your left hand so she kind of was on her own at the table to kind of sell it and figure it out and she was great
00:29:27
right she totally got it and when you're watching cards you don't know like if
00:29:32
you're watching cards you're like oh wait this is the one where I have to go my left hand and I have to stay in frame
00:29:38
and I have to say this do and then you're like now the next one oh wait eating is this oh yeah I point back you
00:29:44
know that that in my you could just people see people thinking because it looked hard in my head going [ __ ] if I
00:29:49
was there the cards have to be perfect you have to either write on the remember do this or you know you have no notes
00:29:55
you're just like okay we've rehearsed it probably twice this week that's it let's go yeah yeah I remember during the
00:30:02
blocking of it there was an issue with the um window and the reflection and you
00:30:08
could like see the camera and the red light and I was like oh we're going to get screwed because of a stupid
00:30:13
reflection because I've had sketches go to dress and there's like some sort of reflective surface and you just see the
00:30:20
red light and the flipping of cards the whole time and you're like no you just
00:30:26
they're going to cut it yes you don't you can just hear what's going on under the bleachers with Lauren
00:30:32
and the writers you're like the [ __ ] is happening torn to shreds um but it
00:30:39
worked out in the end which was awesome and that's kind of the thrill of it when you're doing something kind of different
00:30:45
and I I would say just for for for myself is sketch like that like you guys are both doing this physical comedy the
00:30:52
argument is escalating between the drivers and then we get to in real time see what what you do how you're going to
00:30:59
mime out your insult and so even people in a bar and it's kind of loud would probably watch it and laugh so you got
00:31:07
things going on figure it out all the time and then it escalates into sexual things and had of really as they all do
00:31:15
yeah why not why not guilty is charged nauy bulous Parts throbbing
00:31:22
in but uh this other one that got called out recently by our friend Ben Stiller
00:31:28
is another uh amazing sketch the Home Movies sketch I know I don't yeah's that
00:31:35
was written by Dan bua and stepen Caso bu bu
00:31:41
bu love them they gave me a great part it was like a little present they're like here you go can you do this it was
00:31:48
so much so much fun and then Ben Stiller such a kind wonderful man tweeted that
00:31:55
he is a very sweet person like you didn't have to do that man and you gave me swag for a week it's so
00:32:02
funny at that show you're like I'm feeling good and then you'll have like a bad sketch bomb at table read and you'll
00:32:07
be like I suck I'm the worst what am I doing here the next week Ben goes I saw
00:32:13
the worst sketch ever on SNL this week yeah it was the same guy get that guy
00:32:18
off the gas isn't it bizarre it's the same guy let's check it out what
00:32:23
happened least valuable player
00:32:28
[Music] I'm going to start tweeting compliments at as Outcast members I just hit me how
00:32:36
lonely it is on that show sometimes you know one week you're like I I got one or two three things at work and then next
00:32:44
weeks it's it's strange it's kind of the best I guess best and worst part because
00:32:50
you even if you have a bad week you're like all right there's always next week and it literally starts all over again
00:32:56
and you can turn it around what did you what did you think that so that they it's been Biden's been passed around for
00:33:02
a decade now nobody Woody harelson everybody
00:33:07
Matthew MCC everyone's everyone's doing Biden he's a puzzle he's a puzzle he's
00:33:14
difficult he's not you know Trump obviously easy uh just a
00:33:20
Madman doing things we're g i mean so many Hooks and James is still teasing out hooks oh yeah we love it we
00:33:31
love so funny and then Biden is in this frequency that's very difficult you know
00:33:37
energy-wise because you can't yell like I could kind of with Ross Pro I could be
00:33:43
you know can I finish physical and loud you I just want
00:33:48
to quote all of your guys old stuff finish I like that I'm enjoying this podcast quite a bit because this
00:33:55
this notion that you right now are having somebody who's watching SNL for
00:34:02
the first time and go do you see that guy that traffic sketch that guy did didn't even know your name that that
00:34:08
funny guy yeah that traffic thing was funny is Biden's kind of we'll see but I
00:34:13
like that traffic one well but no one no one is really kicked solv Biden in in
00:34:20
studio in ad which I think is a rock and roll room it does uh it can be quiet it
00:34:27
can but generally speaking if you have energy at home base it it's helpful you
00:34:33
know first out there and he whispers but yeah because he's in this I mean back in
00:34:40
the day when he was doing you know the running with Obama sudas played him it
00:34:45
was so funny he's like Biden time because he was like I'm gonna get on a train and just yeah saying Maly and like
00:34:52
old school Biden was very like I I've had enough of your [ __ ] I'm gonna you
00:34:57
out he was very thater yeah now he's this kind of older man and
00:35:06
so you don't want to go out there and be like lose your train of thought because it's kind of sad you know what I mean
00:35:12
well that's thing yeah yeah when he loses his train of thought it's because
00:35:17
you know he's you know an older dude it's like he got hit with a dart gun in the neck right before the speech then
00:35:24
he's like say hey yeah he's he's unplugged his
00:35:32
batteries are going I mean the only thing I could do is just try to make it silly you know so
00:35:37
I have that Hunter Biden is the only one who can really understand him hey how
00:35:44
you do how you doing Dad yeah going no I already ate but maybe tomorrow night
00:35:49
okay say yeah I lasagna so it's like not going to do it
00:35:55
it's like it's like not got to do it I mean you got just go just make up what Biden might be and that just right and
00:36:02
then his that's funny his his son's the translator death does anyone know what
00:36:08
Hunter Biden talks like I mean I I just figure he's kind of a dude he looks like he's kicking it on the planet just like
00:36:14
an yeah an older Finance looking dude yeah I do not know how he talks does any
00:36:20
guy host ever come in and say I want to play Hunter I don't know I don't think think
00:36:27
so I know Pete played him and he was on one of those wheel
00:36:32
hoverboards that's all I remember he just kind of passed frame on one of those hoverboards I guess because he's
00:36:39
like oh I'm I'm a young kid but I don't know if anyone's like
00:36:46
cracked Hunter yeah because I don't even know what he sounds like the public
00:36:51
doesn't know I mean he gave that little speech in the capital but um yeah you just kind of know like generic guy yeah
00:36:58
there's not a lot of voice that the public is aware of I'm not I just go like this hi hi I'm Hunter Biden when in
00:37:05
doubt just say the name of the person you're doing I know oh 100% hey wait a
00:37:10
minute Hunter bid it's Hunter Biden H Biden just walked in the room I'm Robin
00:37:16
Leech I'm famous I don't know why I don't know why all my
00:37:21
characters I mean you guys were gagag
00:37:28
H Hollywood minute is the first the first time I heard the phraseology of
00:37:35
hey the 19 whatever called which and I
00:37:41
liked it first time when it was cultur I believe it was pioneered there
00:37:48
um that did you invent that phrase David cuz that is a that is like a a thing in The Ether now for you know the 80s
00:37:55
called wants their shirt back yeah they did say in that Rolling Stone s live thing that that was started there
00:38:01
I I I I I think so I hope so it still hasn't gone away it got kind of it got
00:38:07
kind of uh tired a little bit but it still pops up in commercials and stuff but now it's just kind of like a
00:38:14
a accepted insult package yeah by the way when I was watching the Super Bowl
00:38:21
Heidi Garder she was in the Super Bowl more than Travis Kelce she's a huge fan
00:38:27
too so she was in like every third commercial yeah I didn't even know too I
00:38:33
was like Heidi she's awesome she was at Groundlings as well so she's a
00:38:39
sweetheart she came on and talked to us she was great uh I know she's like yeah I did fly in the wall I was like oh you
00:38:45
did oh I those guys don't like me I don't know do you think they'll ask me
00:38:52
do they do they like me we want everybody you guys yeah we haven't talked to everybody oh yeah had Bobby on
00:39:00
uh Bobby Mahan um we should get Taran on you know tan kilan yeah tan tan kilam uh
00:39:09
who's had an incredible run on that show as well and uh wait what about is it cake Dane I have to ask him about
00:39:15
something about is it oh oh yeah yeah that's a cool show you guys know what is it cake is
00:39:21
and you're over the age of six I actually I I like it love it of
00:39:28
course oh yeah fun it's so when they first told me what the concept was I was
00:39:35
like what like is that all it is and you go yeah but it's there's a show there it
00:39:41
feels very much like the show is aware that it's called is it cake and play
00:39:49
there's like a lightness to it and there's kind of an innate humor to it because of how ridiculous the concept is
00:39:56
but at the same time it's really cool to see what those Bakers do I mean no they
00:40:02
great job with it yeah it's a lot of fun but kids have responded to it and it's
00:40:07
remarkable that they they love it not just the end game part they like are
00:40:14
really into how they create these Bakers how they create cakes which I guess
00:40:19
maybe because maybe it's like almost like a magic trick seeing how they how
00:40:24
they do it but it's really interesting in that kids respond to it and then it stumps all the dumb celebrities they
00:40:30
like that part yeah they're like although AO came on
00:40:36
um and did very very well she was really good
00:40:42
at it too well she would find she won't be back I know you're like it's weird
00:40:48
because for the judges they're like if they find it you're danger of not winning money I
00:40:55
just did a game show and theun funny thing was I was telling Dana is they want some they want some comedy they all
00:41:01
want some comedy and obviously that's why they get you and then when you go out there do they try to juice you to be
00:41:07
a little more energetic and there is always um in my
00:41:13
earpiece another one a little more energy little have some have some fun out there yeah explain the rules again
00:41:20
yeah you're like I just my least favorite part is explaining like if they do miss
00:41:26
then they'll go into the prize pot for another two $25,000 however if they're spared and
00:41:33
you're like yeah I know and everyone's like we heard that right before the [ __ ] commercial we know about the
00:41:38
goddamn prize pot and you're like show me the T-rex that looks that's made out of Cape yeah someone hit it with a
00:41:45
hammer we'll figure it out but I mean everyone everyone involved with that
00:41:51
show is fantastic like they're very they're very like do whatever you want it's it's not like um so we need to do
00:41:59
it again they're very like yeah just have fun with it so I've been lucky in that respect no it sounds like a fun one
00:42:05
it sounds like a cool one you guys got to come on I'll come on we gotta go you're cutting out I'll come on well how
00:42:12
Dana and David gave a very mixed possibly so we got a couple verbal
00:42:19
we've got some soft yeses you know what I'm going to talk my team my team will
00:42:25
reach out to you you I like that polite P team is discussing
00:42:34
[Music] it what about David S pumpkins Dan I remember we had Tom Hanks on we were
00:42:41
laughing about uh one a singularity as a sketch as odd weirdness one of my
00:42:46
all-time favorites and I know that that's awesome you you were it well you know it's just special
00:42:52
I I I don't know how to describe it what know it's working I don't know it was so weird we
00:43:01
wrote it it was like 4 a.m. and I had gone to Disneyland all the time because I grew up in Southern California and
00:43:09
went on when I forget when Hollywood Adventure or whatever there yeah where
00:43:14
things California Adventure yeah and then there was that Tower of teror ride that's what I'm trying to get to um
00:43:21
yeah it just very to me lends itself to a sketch format with like a doors
00:43:26
opening and something crazy close doors again and then so so funny it made us laugh but
00:43:34
it's it's funny because there's no like hard joke jokes in it where you're like
00:43:41
okay well that's at least we know a joke it's all just I'm weird and then them
00:43:47
react works though when it works with that [ __ ] well could I can I insert this
00:43:53
my point of view on this some sketches are are so funny you can't really laugh
00:44:00
at them the first time but then later on you'll laugh more because there's so many questions why are they in this
00:44:06
right who is this guy why is the other there's all these questions in your head yeah and then you when you start to
00:44:12
process it later on it just makes you smile I mean hanks's commitment to it and joy of it was so funny and then and
00:44:19
then you guys being the people reacting it was just perfect oh my god is perfect
00:44:24
on read through de in between the first and second half you know you meet with the host and kind of
00:44:32
briefly tell them like okay you're playing a crazy German man in this or
00:44:37
whatever so we told him so you're just kind of this guy David pumpkins and he talked a lot more in the first version
00:44:43
but we're like you're just kind of uh really upbeat and friendly and like you belong there and he's like okay and so I
00:44:51
mean he's Tom Hanks so he committed but and I I know we' talked about this I think Bobby mentioned it but in between
00:44:57
dress and AR's like I don't know if I have a read on Mr pumpkins yet there's
00:45:04
nothing to so then he on he won two Academy Awards so he he did something else with
00:45:11
his hands or something for air just I feel like yeah on airs when he was really like he just weirded it up yeah
00:45:19
he kicked it up to like insane because he's you watch the first one he's just
00:45:26
like staring slightly off he's just a complete madman but it's like the power
00:45:32
of Tom Hanks and coupled with like Halloween and kind of the feeling in the country was like right before the
00:45:39
election I just feel like all the ingredients were there but it's been awesome to see like I'll see online of
00:45:46
you know kids in Halloween costumes and dress their dogs up as the skeletons and
00:45:53
there's a dude at Universal Studios during Halloween who wanders the park as
00:46:01
oh which was like all right that's made that's when you I love a Halloween
00:46:07
costume if you can get a sketch to be a costume that's 100% also a lot of these sketches as
00:46:14
Dana knows yeah the first Cone Heads the first Gap girls the first almost first
00:46:19
anything doesn't do that well because they're taking it all in like Dana was saying they don't know until a lot of
00:46:25
times know you just Hammer at home till they're like all right we get it [ __ ] stop it's a thing now yeah yeah it's a
00:46:30
thing and we're telling you it's a thing but sometimes just organically they turn into so the next time you come out if you hear enough about them so you do do
00:46:37
it again then they're all ready and they get it and then it does way better but sometimes the first ones are crickets
00:46:44
but how would you guys know yeah we should keep doing this because it was letters first and bronze
00:46:52
bombed yeah I'm sure because it was so they thought we were going to lift heavy
00:46:57
weights or something and all we did was berak imaginary enemies with what we me
00:47:02
now and believe me late yeah we'll come to your house and we put this shape of your flab into a rope ladder so you can
00:47:09
crawl back down in the sewer cuz that's where losers live and the audience is kind of like who are they talking to
00:47:18
uh me why are they mad at me I still do it to this day it's just sort of fun to
00:47:24
be sorry Mikey is our guest look at Mikey day girly man with your petite frame you're
00:47:31
a grown man v-neck t-shirt you
00:47:37

00:47:44
coming out in another 10 days 12 days from now with a show if you got a little something you can share with us in your
00:47:50
back pocket do we know keep it quiet though actually do we know Shane Gillis
00:47:55
who's that who's Shane all right Shan stand up very successful standup
00:48:02
comedian no we know he was actually um he got hired to be on the
00:48:09
cast and then all that stuff went down with um you did you didn't say the word fired you said he got hired and all that
00:48:15
stuff went down he got let go let make this stuff go down
00:48:20
please going in a different direction he landed on his feet but that was sort of an odd bizarre
00:48:26
situation and what will it be like how how do the have you have you talked about it I'm not sure I haven't really
00:48:33
talked with anyone about it it was just kind of so we'll see no one says anything there it's quite information is
00:48:41
currency no one's going to sit you down and go what we should do is how are you
00:48:47
feeling act like it never happened no I think Shane is funny as [ __ ] and he uh I
00:48:52
think it's cool SNL has him back good talked to him about that podcast and I
00:48:58
asked him you know is it I don't know if it's a line of demarcation in a sense
00:49:03
was he doing an impression a character of someone who says things like that
00:49:10
racist things right or you know and and he said yes but he didn't make it
00:49:16
clear right right right right yeah well and all that comedy things get thrown and podcast used to be just Underground
00:49:25
basement it's just like guys talking to each other it's almost like a CB radio and then it comes out M and then you go
00:49:32
I don't even know what I said on that then you're like oh because you're talking to your friends so yeah I mean I
00:49:37

you're together I honestly yeah they were playing you as like it was an impossible match up but I I didn't
00:51:39
really see it that way you know I me wow well that's very nice I mean I look at myself next to Margot Robbie and I go
00:51:45
that is an impossible matchup I would be like he must be a billionaire um right
00:51:52
yeah all every girl I dated in my life really crushed yeah the dog one is fun
00:51:57
we've done that a few times and it's always fun because it was it's usually a writer who has to go down and be the
00:52:04
dog's hands right gentic slab where they make a dog part dog part human we just
00:52:11
say doghead man and then the last time we did it was Martin Hurley he went was
00:52:16

00:52:23
funny dude yeah he's on camera in these videos and we're like hey can you yeah
00:52:29
bend down and snuggle up close to this dog and pan funny hands because you a
00:52:34
funny guy can get a couple extra laughs out of the hands exactly yes so we ended up going with anything else for this kid
00:52:41
uh Dana I mean I have so many questions for you guys I have to come back on and just ask you guys questions about all
00:52:48
your schedule uh we like being asked question but no one ever asks us any questions no way cares way completely
00:52:56
insane I mean I grew up with you guys so this has been awesome and I'm not worse
00:53:03
Dana he's like well I grew up with you guys I remember when I was one and I'm like God it's getting worse like before
00:53:10
I was born they told me about you guys I mean no that was very formative for me I
00:53:18
would say I won't get I I said I wouldn't cry but uh this is kind of why
00:53:23
you I don't know if you said that why you want to do this is that uh you could
00:53:28
be money Fame all this stuff but if someone once in a while someone will come up to me in airport and say some
00:53:34
bizarre sketch I did and that me and my friends reference that once a month you
00:53:40
must be getting stuff like that with some of your sketches by now it's nice to hear yeah it is nice sometimes if I
00:53:46
was in an airport and saw Dana I'd say Mr Fong on the night of the murders did
00:53:52
you shampoo now you just blown my mind that you just blown my mind that's a stand
00:54:00
Dana had a standup special on Comedy Central that air all the time yeah the
00:54:06
90s I did a 10 CL bit on OJ the premise
00:54:11
of the bit was for OJ to be uh it's either he's guilty or he's framed let's
00:54:18
unpack him being framed 165 people had to participate spontaneously that night
00:54:24
we're framing OJ you in I like OJ but it's just too good and it goes on then I do Marcy what's her name Mara Clark all
00:54:32
my years as a prosecutor and then Johnny conran why we even having a
00:54:38
trial oh yeah just as the I think he plays jazz trumpet at the end right your
00:54:45
honor your honor if I I'd like to have sex with your honor just the his effusive compliments and if I may I like
00:54:52
to play some jazz trumpet you know whatever you you made my day Mikey I
00:54:59
mean and then David I could dork out on Tommy Boy for a perfect movie a long
00:55:07
time I'll never be able to listen to this I'm G be like oh you're such a dork you just spent so much time going I love
00:55:12
your guys stuff no Dan was just texting me that this guy sucks edit this down
00:55:19
maybe no we got a solid 10 minutes in here somewhere you know what Mikey I can't find any I do that all the time I
00:55:26
I just my Persona on this podcast is I do compliment people and I go maybe it's
00:55:31
too serpy too over the top but I assume most talented people have an inner critic somewhere am I any because what
00:55:39
where's this drive coming from am I really any good so it's good to hear it from if you respect us or like our work
00:55:46
just to say yeah you're doing you're kicking ass onl you're doing wild I wildly respect
00:55:54
you both you guys are very kind individuals for how legendary you are
00:56:01
and the roles you played in my life especially so talking to you guys was
00:56:07
like truly a thrill and I appreciate it immensely I would love to nice come down
00:56:13
and weirdly quote lines at you it's weird when you just kind of throw a quote at someone but it's like for me
00:56:20
all that stuff is so so ingrained in me so just want to say I know this to the
00:56:27
person I do it to people too it's fine I like it I think it's compliment when
00:56:32
you're sitting there writing a sketch or a standup bit and you're meticulously trying to find the the key to the
00:56:38
kingdom basically and and you find it and it's just a few words strung together and then someone quotes it to
00:56:44
you 30 years later you're like who they really heard that someone heard that you
00:56:49
know yeah it's weird you kind of forget about the audience at home when you're doing SNL you're just like so focused on
00:56:55
the studio audience and how it is received you're like oh yeah there's people at home who watched it and
00:57:01
sometimes people will reference a sketch that you know aired but you thought I don't know I guess it's like a C+ I
00:57:08
guess like it's e forgettable yeah and then someone would go I love that one you're like you saw that great that's
00:57:16
fantastic your Donald Trump Jr by the way is a really really funny take and I sure you to get recognized for that
00:57:22
because you wear the wig and you yeah yeah sometimes yeah that people will be
00:57:28
just play him like a 1980s movie villain play him like the guy who's like I challenge you to a ski
00:57:35
race whatever and if we win we're gonna tear this thing down yeah it's kind of
00:57:41
like Alpha frat boy energy just coming super competitive it's very funny uh
00:57:48
Trump guys fun to do yeah with Eric with Alex Moffett Alex to do the brothers
