00:05:53
going tapping each other I'm like exactly Jo had a great joke on update of
00:05:59
they team teamed up against the audience that was it that that was the
00:06:05
quintal my problem is they say it's not really um the fight wasn't
00:06:12
really a a real fight sanction fight it was just for entertainment I'm like but
00:06:17
it wasn't entertainment either so I'm suing for that but but it was sanctioned it goes on Tyson's record why why would
00:06:25
he do that he he says what does he care about his legacy I'll be dead why don't
00:06:30
I even care I started doing L mushrooms yeah with I was really
00:06:36
fighting them hard but I don't care what happens you know what about Legacy sorry Tyson has to go to the
00:06:44
bathroom was that when he was talking what was the video that you sent Benny the he was
00:06:50
talking talking to the little girl oh yeah little girl like a 12-year-old girl and he was like we're all going to die
00:06:57
one day we're all dust she's like do you eat dino
00:07:03
nuggets my Ty said think well he was nice after the fight but he was mostly he'd be really when his Heyday he'd be
00:07:10
like I'm gonna kill I hit you so hard your family's gonna be hurt I'm gonna kill you and after the fight he'd beat

00:12:34
guys just cracking up and it's like never I know that's what they think all
00:12:39
movies are okay now what what goes after that what goes after that how stoned were you when you came up with that
00:12:45
idea so three months ago when Charlie X Charlie hosted you guys because we're
00:12:51
figuring out the air date now yeah thisly 26 so she she she's in the Monday
00:12:57
meeting you throw this into the pitches and then when it involves the host and
00:13:03
she's got x amount of time during the week when do you get her if they they have to okay it right away you have to
00:13:08
start figuring out the sets and [ __ ] we had to write it for the Wednesday read through and then that night they greenl
00:13:17
it but we shot it on Thursday night like all night so we were shooting what a [ __ ] drag yeah we had Rite table all
00:13:23
day from like 12:30 to 9 and then from 9 to like 6:00 AM we were shooting our video rewrite for n hours practically
00:13:32
rewrite table on Thursdays is [ __ ] horrible oh okay you were rewriting all the other people's everything not just
00:13:39
that's thing people understand you guys are writer writers on the show yeah and
00:13:45
writers on the show that's what I thought God that's good you guys are on
00:13:50
fire I have another name for your thing leave at gate these aren't horrible
00:14:01
yeah here's a question have you ever seriously said to each other hey get out
00:14:07
of my face dude like serious not part of a sketch like real get out of my face
00:14:12
dude who's been the most mad at who because I've said that to Spade every other day just get out get out of
00:14:19
my face D get out of my grill yeah don't get up and in my grill um so anyway um
00:14:27
no answer no yeah I mean we've had some had some blowouts here we go here we go we are
00:14:35
trending officially we are trending right
00:14:42
[Music] now now two of you have parents that are
00:14:47
writers Dana you did not know this but they have parents that are writers do you have to pre pitch them
00:14:54
before the pitch meeting and okay our dads come up with the majority of our
00:15:00
ideas for sure but besides that you have to know that that's
00:15:06
sarcasm people they pitch you an idea and you have to say no and it's horrifyingly awkward it's not that
00:15:12
awkward my dad pitches a lot of jokes for us okay but it's not that what about overall just here's an idea for you guys
00:15:19
for a whole thing whole concept they stay in their own lane you
00:15:25
call each other's Dad Dad yeah like like
00:15:30
no like just just Dad I call Dana Dad yeah I call everybody dad that's
00:15:38
just respect yeah ex exactly on when I got to the show Dana
00:15:43
was there and he was like [ __ ] crushing at number one guy and we all had to call him dad you know what David
00:15:51
um I don't even know if it's based off of my dad but in middle school I would flirt with girls by saying you know uh
00:15:58
David character and grownups his name Higgins you know that's great that's
00:16:07
fantastic I don't even know if it it did not work no but here's the um I don't
00:16:12
even know if it's based off of that I don't know either I didn't read the whole script but I do know that now
00:16:20
it might have been Sandler's I know Sandler's uh Hometown Boys growing up one was
00:16:25
lammon sloth there was like a really complicated name I'm like that has to be one of your friends and we met some of
00:16:32
the guys but it might have been a Higgins there but it could have easily been you guys because people yell
00:16:37
Higgins to me in the airport like I can remember what movie I was even in and
00:16:43
they're like Higgins I'm like are you talking to me they like yeah are you Higgins they think I'm real like a real
00:16:49
person are you Higgins are you in the closet with the dog I'm like oh that was a movie but it's fine I'll take any I'll
00:16:57
take any praise anyway when I came through the airport this isn't funny but interesting dad comes up with a six and
00:17:04
an eight-year-old boy girl really sweet cute they are just huge fans of your Joe
00:17:09
Biden impression because it goes on at 8:30 I
00:17:15
guess in the west coast they just funny old man anyway that's our that's our
00:17:21
airports chunk when do you get word if you're in the show and you tape it edit
00:17:26
it cut it because it that sounds like a really unusually crazy schedule because not just a a sketch you have to put on its
00:17:33
feet you have to get a set then dress it and then you know you got to get wardrobe and then you got to cram lines
00:17:41
like Charlie bless her heart she has to cram lines for that and then do it all night when she has to rehearse the next
00:17:47
day it's the hardest week of her life and then you throw it in at dress and then you
00:17:54
you it might make it to air but it also you don't know if it's going to make it all the way on there right yeah like the
00:18:02
the tapes are always a lot of the times it's like you it's easier I think to just cut a tape
00:18:09
for time because you don't have to get rid of the whole set and the whatever so they're kind of the first to go after
00:18:15
update once the show's going long once people are milking their sketches a lot of stuff is cut for time
00:18:23
it really when you're there like lot sketches was it always like this Dana
00:18:28
being back of the like you're 30 minutes over going into dress or did you guys
00:18:33
have it closer to we had some there were sketches cut it seems like more now is my what I'm thinking but yeah um cut for
00:18:41
Time dress was always long and then yeah air was supposed to be pretty close then
00:18:47
you cut the show down and then what I do with Gaffigan and stuff we get together and go let's just [ __ ] milk the cold
00:18:52
opening push the show really long sit back with a ice cold beer just laugh at
00:18:59
the cup for time guys I shouldn't have said that but gaffigans like that but anyway no I I think it is a little
00:19:06
longer or maybe sketches are plain longer but yeah there seems like there's at least two or three cut each
00:19:13
week when you when you and James went off cards at dress this past week that
00:19:18
was so funny funny D why can't we do that on air you know
00:19:26
because it's all make believe and all a sudden I stepped on his line and we got all tangled up and it was so funny it
00:19:32
was right before the live from New York dud went off on this whole run and then
00:19:37
had to like reset right to that yeah but you found your way back waiting say is this is this dress R I think I stayed in
00:19:44
Biden is this dresser air I don't know I thought Lauren was gonna scold me on that one but instead
00:19:50
he went um you were you look like you're reading off cards and I said because I
00:19:55
was I normally has 19 words and I I got a half page of exposition yeah anyway
00:20:02
report to the spanking machine the spanking machine that's not aad they still have that machine yeah I
00:20:11
used to go stand by it yeah do you guys want to talk at all because David and I I'm I'm getting a just a routine uh
00:20:18
cholesterol blood Tech so I haven't eaten in like 19 hours so I'm a little Punchy but you guys have any questions
00:20:24
for us or things you want to say any statements you'd like to read how much money do you have in your bank account
00:20:31
it's combined that's Dana's question just just cash on hand liquidity or are
00:20:37
we talking about property or I'm talking assets I'm talking real estate the whole kitten
00:20:43
Kaboodle I'll write it down and I'll just hold it up at the end of the
00:20:48
podcast it's a scroll on YouTube can check in and
00:20:53
guess one of you is her's kid yeah that's who's going to admit it
00:21:00
check the name is Martin early it doesn't say his last name but I would say it's you because you're the only one
00:21:05
without a last name but I was friends with your dad obviously we had a big falling out picked Sandler over me which
00:21:12
was sort of an easy one but you're really the hurle he boy
00:21:18
that's what I was getting at yeah that's right there was there was a sketch Dana when you were
00:21:25
there I would just do what I did normally before update and I I'd go home
00:21:30
but what was it the hurle boy that was called in it was s Farley right yeah and
00:21:37
that must be fun you're you can say it's named after you that's more believable than the Higgins [ __ ] he was given
00:21:43
earlier come on Ben Ben do you have any connection to
00:21:48
show business like even a cousin or uncle or anything no I don't okay all right Pete
00:21:56
Davidson your dad I'll adopt you legally please I watched your Taylor Swift one
00:22:03
um I have watched over it's hard for me to just say each one because they come
00:22:09
week to week they're same no no they're all really good I have to say is that
00:22:15
they're all very clever they're I mean a year ago I was saying oh [ __ ] these are so funny if I'm ever in town I want to go try to warm in one because they're so
00:22:23
clever they're funny they're they don't look that easy but they're just good different things and it's so hard to
00:22:29
stand out on a sketch show that's been on [ __ ] 50 years to get anything
00:22:34
slightly different because they're so they're great you get good people and you give them something to do and they
00:22:41
they I've listened to every episode of this podcast oh you listen to this dog [ __ ] good job everyone yeah I listen to
00:22:48
everyone I love that I'm I mean like the biggest SNL nerd fan so that means a lot
00:22:56
yeah we're massive massive fans of you guys you should say that's what I was getting at thank you well when I look at
00:23:01
your stuff I just feel envious like seems like so much fun nothing was
00:23:06
happen like that on our you know it is fun we get to shoot them pretty quick
00:23:11
too sometimes because they're like especially the office ones we can do those Thursday nights where they don't
00:23:17
go until six o'clock in the morning so sometimes we can bust them out in like four hours or whatever and it's just who
00:23:24
do you reach out to to get uh a celebrity that's not the host do you have talent
00:23:29
Department yeah you say hey can you grab us this person tal Department we got a know pretty we need a yes or no ASAP
00:23:37
yeah then you go type in their name in The Script and then you change it to someone else send it yeah accident
00:23:43
accidentally sent it witht wait who's Robert dairo with so is
00:23:50
this true like the first one was Pete Davidson and Taylor Swift is that your first one no no was just us us three in
00:23:57
the office and it aired on the Kim Kardashian episode but she she had nothing to do with it yeah okay then you
00:24:04
put her in it you shot later we shot it secretly oh that was with the walking
00:24:11
around with the yeah the hard Seltzer one we shot it on a on Monday with um
00:24:17
our friend Paul banti who used to be a director there and we just had like two cameras a prop guy and a sound guy and
00:24:23
so it's nice that you it does well so now over time they must build up Trust with you guys so now a little eyes are
00:24:30
on you less and more like what do we have this week and then do you have to show the final to anyone before it goes
00:24:38
on dress The Producers look Eric kenward will watch everyone's busier than [ __ ]
00:24:45
obviously but you try to go hey can you just check it and they give you maybe last second trims or notes anything
00:24:52
before it pops on dress okay yeah for sure it's he's always really helpful of like we'll we'll normally come to him
00:24:57
with like questions like is this working or you know whatever well they move so fast good
00:25:04
laughs get out Cuts Like just you have the doctor and the one on the Taylor swim you go that's my real doctor but uh
00:25:11
it's just funny to get I go got a doctor set and an outfit for a [ __ ] cutaway it's just seems expensive and hard but
00:25:19
always feels worth it to me watch when did you get out of the room you know you were doing them in in the just in the
00:25:25
office for a while and then you got out of the room and then when I was was there you did the uh the uh helicopter
00:25:32
set which was like played really big I guess you did it 66 Street in there but
00:25:38
yeah it was very very cool uh the consistency of how excellent they are is
00:25:44
very high to me so I I just want you guys to understand that like you're a SM
00:25:50
I mean I hope you know that I I I don't know um we do
00:25:57
yeah yeah you do know it oh do you know it because it's hard to do comedy it's
00:26:03
hard to nail it coming up with ideas that are consistently good there's just I you know that aren't clanking and not
00:26:09
quite there and there's just this high high percentage of of winning and so I'm
00:26:15
just curious about that means a lot I don't know it's not just me hey look at
00:26:20
the YouTube counts you know cut for time gets three million you know I mean I mean you got your highest one was 17
00:26:27
million uh so and don't dare go something like that because you know
00:26:33
exactly it is pulled up on my pH something like that no bad name I'm I'm pulling it pulling it David you I think
00:26:41
we first oh yeah go ahead I was gonna say a joke that I like when David does it on talk shows when you go I was
00:26:47
leaving my house mansion whatever listen 44 Windows three
00:26:52
pantries whatever these are other people I don't know what it's called These Days yeah I don't know house whatever apartment Wing that has seven bedrooms
00:27:00
has never been inhabited you just go walk by door after door it's
00:27:05
incredible yeah I have Dana come over I have a door that's like 90 feet high I'm like I like to do cardio so I run laps
00:27:13
around his house you know about 20 minutes I got lost one time but um let's
00:27:20
I don't know what do you guys want to talk about I mean it's kind of did we answer your question we get out of the we haven't
00:27:26
answered anything and I think Martin said word which is fine which might be a
00:27:31
podcast record for me David and I we're just Punchy we
00:27:36
we'll we'll just we want you guys to all NYU guys where do we meet that's a good
00:27:42
one so you just all nodded great anyway what else is going on thank you very much okay wait no let's go back and
00:27:49
answer yes when when did we get out of the office uh the Taylor Swift video
00:27:54
yeah I think so yeah I will say the budget that the film unit has is can be
00:28:02
pretty ridiculous and I feel like somebody's gonna notice it and then be like there's no reason this should be
00:28:08
happening the after the hype of the 50th they goingon to start looking at the books what the [ __ ] is going on over
00:28:14
here I've heard a lot about the budgeting and it's quite surprising not only with you but with other people tell
00:28:21
we actually we actually for a lot of ours cost nothing in compar especially those office videos it's usually our
00:28:27
money on you know big sandwiches or whatever our prop is that week that were cting do when you do not to focus on
00:28:35
Taylor Swift but when you do that bit it's with Pete so it's fine it's already funny do you say hey we should have
00:28:42
someone coming at the end or was the idea always someone coming at the end we just don't know who we you know you know
00:28:47
who push it was Dan bua was like dudes we we could just ask her and I'll record a thing and show it to her that'll sound
00:28:55
awesome for her part in the video and we were like we had Z truly zero
00:29:01
expectations that you would do it you know it was our third video or whatever
00:29:07
and then bullah put together her part in the song like as a demo and it sounded so awesome and Taylor we showed it to
00:29:13
her loved the bit was just like let's do it and we were shocked sweetheart yeah
00:29:19
that's very nice because she scores too you know it's like it's smart if you're a big star and you wait and make moves
00:29:25
that are like that they're like that's a little nugget score get out is perfect
00:29:30
for that yeah he's so good at it it it's the lesson that you learn every week is
00:29:36
if the host is scoring you're likely to make the thing you know what I mean
00:29:42
because it's and it's so easy to not like think about them as the main
00:29:47
character or whatever because it's your bit but you kind of have to yeah do you guys kind of co-direct it yourselves and
00:29:53
have a official director or is it kind of like that but obviously you're chiming in and cuz I watched the Travis
00:30:00
Kelce one and I thought it was just so crazy funny Hit me hard thanks because
00:30:06
the way when you fell and your eyes were still open like you're probably dead and then the ending with the the
00:30:13
old lady and the Russian Roulette and everything I just like perfect some of these are just like GE super gems like
00:30:21
we put that woman in like five or six sketches now she up and all Marne shout
00:30:27
out to Marne we put her in every Live sketch that we like you made her feature player on instantly funny and instantly
00:30:34
every yeah was she in um Andy samberg's video as well there was a that's a
00:30:42
different a different woman of that touchy sub s not to
00:30:51
self yes to answer your question Tim wiim directs our stuff who's awesome
00:30:58
but we we all chip in and like give notes and help out but just want to give him credit yeah no yeah I assume Martin
00:31:05
screamer on the set yeah oh yeah what the [ __ ] surprised even has his lines what
00:31:12
the [ __ ] man they're like you have to talk in
00:31:18
this one is does it play here or here come on make a choice dude push in [ __ ]
00:31:25
me [Music]
00:31:31
so you guys also tour right yeah a little bit are you going out next summer
00:31:37
or what do you what's what's that like going out because you're doing all this and then all of a sudden you have all
00:31:42
these thousands of people screaming I mean what was that must have been what is your show like yeah what do you do is
00:31:48
it funny is it fun it's it's a drama It's a drama I would say yeah it's and it's
00:31:56
pretty tragic um oh the uh the first time you went out and the crowd went
00:32:01
crazy it must have been like yourself yeah it last summer we we went on like a
00:32:07
30 city tour and go I can't believe there's this many people in a Jimmy
00:32:14
John's wherever you play I don't know I don't know what no no the Jimmy John's Jimmy John's Arena yeah it was um Arena
00:32:21
oh I just backfired on me [ __ ] I say go ahead Ben I'm
00:32:26
sorry uh no it was it was cool our show is like it's a sketch show but we don't
00:32:31
do like costumes or props really so it's kind of like half standup half sketch
00:32:37
because we're like talking directly to the audience but then we'll be like all right now we're in a coffee shop and then do a sketch um and it's like the
00:32:44
most fun thing we do I hope we do it again this summer yeah we filmed a bunch of our shows last um summer and we might
00:32:52
we're like cutting together a little special would you ever team up with like Sarah squirm and go out no okay
00:33:01
um Sarah s David another joke you gave Sarah a big joke her silic silica gel
00:33:09
package she loves that one I thought she just used it in front of me to make me feel better I love she kept she's kept
00:33:17
it everywh yeah she's so bananas I didn't really know her and we went on that tour and U she was she's very first
00:33:24
of all she's very likable very fun to talk to Backstage cuz of that slug over
00:33:29
there getting massages being covered in gold coins and so but Sarah
00:33:36
yeah warming up and then Sarah was funny and then she gets up and her act is so bananas and I was like this is so funny
00:33:43
because no one knows what to expect at all plus she was newer on the show now she's been there for a while but I see
00:33:49
clips from her on tour in the summer it's so funny and it's so hard I'm like Sarah do you know what you're getting into like doing all these cities like
00:33:56
you guys you know you work card but then it is a bit of a trudge to go on tour if
00:34:02
you guys line up a few it's more fun you're together but it's still it's still tough right it's it it was it was
00:34:09
hard but we don't do the the she does a lot of hiatuses during the season goes
00:34:15
out which feels like like we'll our hiatuses will write a bunch of [ __ ] and whatever and work hard on other stuff
00:34:22
but the idea of traveling right away to go hit like four cities in a row feels like
00:34:28
taloa she um she's one of our best friends at the show though I we would totally team up with Sarah to do a tour
00:34:35
yeah we came in at the same time and just immediately hit it off and started writing with her every week she's the
00:34:41
best yeah that Matt gates gates is that name was [ __ ] terrifying it was insanely scary it's like
00:34:48
this all those makeup guys are Star Trek fans and all kind
00:34:54
of he def and when she would put her chin down and do that little smile it was it was it
00:35:02
was Bonkers she looked like Jack Nicholson yeah yeah just like that was a
00:35:08
a look that she could have just that has to come back I mean the audience hasn't even how funny she is in that you know
00:35:15
do you guys do vids when you're out there is it too much hassle to bring like a screen and all that you recorded all your shows last summer or no yeah we
00:35:22
recorded a bunch my wife is cutting together our special right now oh okay
00:35:27
and uh a nice wife yeah well a professional editor or is just scale
00:35:33
scale plus 10 yeah scale hey scale that's good that's actually
00:35:39
good just watch some tutorials and get this special going get on YouTube how to do a special
00:35:47
I I'm just curious what what was the lighting kit or the crew like if you're gonna do those shows like how much
00:35:52
hassle was it three cameras lots of light or was it really kind of lowii or we really didn't prepare to do it so we
00:36:00
we would hire local Crews to be like maybe this is a good place to film it
00:36:06
and then we would get embarrassed about whatever show we film and we're like let's just film it again somewhere else
00:36:12
because oh yeah that's the beauty of that if you can do that it's great because you're gonna hit a [ __ ] winner like Adam when he went out and
00:36:19
did all these shows he would just keep filming them like that's the beauty being big budget you just go film another one film us on the plane film us
00:36:25
backstage it could 10 specials with that it was kind of like it's kind of like that model of like cutting around to
00:36:32
different cities and then doing like backstage bits it's like a combination of Zach Alanis and Sandler special and
00:36:40
it's smartless guys did that to if you can get because you're going to get something you know if you're just
00:36:47
bullshitting or laughing there's something backstage even if you get a minute after the whole night backstage
00:36:52
and then you get your stuff on stage and you get something on I don't know if you have a bus or a yeah fly around it's
00:36:59
always hard to get the crew on Southwest to start rolling but yeah I remember bummed out get me here when I ask for my
00:37:07
water I think there's something there no it's funny it's I'm gonna ask
00:37:13
funny it's so nothing it's just funny are you did you did you you just
00:37:20
released the special right David I'm glad you just got my text yes
00:37:25
we are um funny story yeah Dana you might want to go get a coffee I can't I'm getting a
00:37:32
blood test oh yeah I water you shouldn't even drink water drink water I don't know tell us
00:37:39
tell us your story I did a special for an unknown streamer why we can't say I don't know
00:37:46
but there's only that many Pluto oh yeah I don't tell you because it's the worst one Xbox TV
00:37:54
flippy one of these is a fake name goooo
00:37:59
flumo beep bop boop okay so I did it and uh I'm I'm editing and I will tell you
00:38:05
Dana I was editing yesterday and uh I hate watching it so I keep putting it off and then I watch it and I go I think
00:38:12
I'm bombing so I'm here with Heather going I might cut that whole bit I think it did good I had a good crowd you know
00:38:18
and so so I keep doing this and then I I'm almost done I go I'm too sickened by
00:38:23
watching my ACT then I talk to the guy and he goes oh you got the line cut yeah
00:38:28
so yeah don't worry about that you know we didn't put the laughs in from the audience yet I go what are you [ __ ]
00:38:35
talking about what am I watching just me bomb and he's like oh well you know what
00:38:40
worked I'm like no my I was just combobulated you had that yeah we're the
00:38:47
same thing we watched it with the laughs mix way down and it's just the most
00:38:52
horrible feeling oh my God you did that it was so sad I go turn it off
00:38:58
yeah it's horrible because also you realize that there are laughs there but to you it looks like you're milking a
00:39:04
thing I'm just dying I'm like I saw people watching with me going I'd cut that that feels like it's got like a
00:39:09
dead spot I'm like yeah I mean it's in the middle of my joke why is there a dead spot they're like oh did you want
00:39:15
the one where people are enjoying it and laughing and then you'll know which one's working I'm like I want that that
00:39:20
one they're like oh sure we can send that over I why do they mix it down when they show it to you how about it wasn't
00:39:26
even in I technical reason like I don't I don't know um ask your wife what's
00:39:33
going on Danny you had a funny thing too about editing a special where you watched it like 12 feet away so you
00:39:40
wouldn't focus on how you looked which I think is I think is really smart yeah they push it too tight
00:39:47
like you put a laptop way far away for your first watchown of it which I think oh yeah almost anything I'm I only saw
00:39:55
Cho and broccoli two weeks ago for the first time are you serious I have a hard time watching myself I just
00:40:02
self-critical so yeah I get it really small get it way far away and kind of squint and then turn it off turn the
00:40:08
mute down when I was your guy's age it wasn't as problematic but you Wikipedia me but you get to this stage you're like
00:40:15
really I mean why why am I even on camera no if you see yourself on camera it's so gross but also just seeing dead
00:40:22
spots I go I can't and so I go well I have to rethink what I'm cutting because
00:40:27
I was going to make like a 12 minute special I go these aren't and they're like oh no that was because I was there
00:40:34
I'm like I had a good show it was in Denver anyway it doesn't come out till April but I'll text all you guys we'll
00:40:39
get on group chain I'll tell you when it comes out just put the product into the market place like you guys who's who do

00:41:10
the booker we all the same wife you're all with with the same
00:41:16
people yeah that' be cool though if we had competing reps yeah that's the way to do it that's how you break up quickly
00:41:23
uh we Dane and I were the same guys that like had uh you know the Bernie brillstein company so they had Acro B
00:41:29
they've had it from day one that's why they're all do your check say please don't destroy on them or your individual

00:41:49
Begins start out as artist and then get the cash no you actually with
00:41:56
the 50 if there's a lot of sponsors so you guys actually did An All State Commercial yeah you did thank you that's
00:42:04
what we're promoting today oh yeah we finally got to it that's what we got coming out now you co-wrote that or you
00:42:10
had so much input into it I assume or just did it yourselves basically yeah we did we did two of them um when does the
00:42:18
next one come out this week I don't know but SNL was like you guys are doing a
00:42:25
commercial so then we did a commercial yeah yeah killed my commercial D and I
00:42:30
are available we're just saying you know dude I had a Super Bowl commercial
00:42:36
and they told me and Lauren killed it I'm like God dang when you were when you on the Lauren killed it and then Lauren
00:42:42
was in the Super Bowl commercial they needed they needed someone I thought
00:42:48
Lauren did by in the yeah he did it with Helen Hunt I was
00:42:54
like you could crush that I do something like that wait it's kind of like my bit
00:42:59
Yeah bye-bye byebye I would just say do everything everything does he say byebye
00:43:07
no but he could no he could do that's one of the few he could do byebye byebye
00:43:12
there's a really good show in there somewhere and it'd be like really good if you could you know we have a two week
00:43:18
break his his stuff around that makes me laugh so hard every time he does the dry
00:43:24
sarcasm be really nice if it was actually a funny show yeah you're you're
00:43:30
you're going away for break it'd be nice if people could compliment you at
00:43:37
Thanksgiving but yeah I love I love the notes like that because it's always just
00:43:42
like you're so nervous and for somebody to be like that wasn't very good is kind of like refreshing yeah yes it is I like
00:43:51
on air I see on the commercials they bump you know and they show like the sketch being broken down or usually or
00:43:57
or they go to commercial they come back just in the middle and Lauren just standing there near the set like you know this is the one that counts just so
00:44:04
you know well not my first season he would be out on the floor and everyone was terrified obviously and nervous and
00:44:11
he had he always had a glasses Shard and be very relaxed I thought this must be a
00:44:16
message to us to calm the [ __ ] down yeah just come up right before you the sketch
00:44:21
he goes um this sketch needs to breathe and then just walk away
00:44:27
breathe what but he was right anyway he's he's the greatest character uh yeah
00:44:34
to do but um when did you become friends with him like how long into your into
00:44:39
your cast member I you know I he always
00:44:45
it took me a long time to really kind of not be intimidated by him even though I was only there and his you know he had
00:44:52
done five seasons was gone for five so he was he was 40 years old
00:44:57
but you're still kind of intimidated because the original cast the original Satur live the folklore but at the end
00:45:03
of my first season he said you know um come to Long come out to amaganset this
00:45:09
weekend so I just thought there'd be a lot of people there but it was just me and Lauren yeah going on the teeter
00:45:16
totter and then we we hung out for a weekend together we went to movies and stuff would you like Milk Duds or
00:45:24
pop back to the seaw Mustang and we'd drive around the island and he'd point
00:45:30
at things if it all goes away I've always got that you know God that's awesome I I can't wait to meet him one
00:45:36
day yeah you should meet him doesn't he come to your birthdays and stuff growing
00:45:42
up yeah everyone Lauren's here yeah he say
00:45:48
he would sing me songs and stuff Dana was singing to him this
00:45:53
weekend at the God dang oh forget it what I oh uh his birthday his birthday
00:45:59
cake at the [Music]
00:46:05
party all right let me ask some Oprah type questions so quickly we got these
00:46:10
go where here you are like thinking five years ago you're coming out NYU you're
00:46:16
funny together you're doing stuff and now here you are now what would you tell your younger self yourself of coming
00:46:23
right out of college because this doesn't always just happen it's it takes a lot of things to come together for all
00:46:29
of us you know so um are you um high as
00:46:34
a kite all day you're happy or or more nervous than you were in some ways because the stakes are higher having fun
00:46:42
I don't know just throwing stuff out say we don't have any response to
00:46:48
that I guess like you're doing the right thing I don't know I was so like racked
00:46:53
with anxiety of like pursuing this thing that like doing sketch comedy shows for
00:46:59
like five people as like a an adult and not making any money being like is this
00:47:05
what am I doing this for so I guess like there is something you're on to
00:47:10
something I don't know yeah did you ever have any adults say to you well this
00:47:15
probably won't work out but it's gonna help you in whatever you'll probably end up doing yeah I my I think Mark your dad
00:47:23
too it was like this is not nice this is not a nice business business yeah but
00:47:28
that was the main thing I I wanted to be a Disney kid more than anything and they were like no way I was like the my
00:47:35
birthday asked when I was nine was for an agent what's a Disney kid to be on a
00:47:41
show like Wizards of Waverly places yeah exactly like I always wanted it they were like absolutely not so then once we
00:47:48
started did you dress up as Cusco like I did for Halloween you did no I'm not
00:47:54
allowed but you can't dress as my own thing uh Martin did you go to the set of
00:48:00
Happy Gilmore I did yeah yeah fun how's Uncle
00:48:06
Adam he's good did you sit on his lap uhuh that
00:48:13
place is a Cavalcade of stars out there every every time I talk to those guys it's like someone else came by and they
00:48:19
threw him up in there sounds like fun though have you guys talked to Marcelo
00:48:24
yet no he's been Walling us Domingo Domingo
00:48:31
hey yeah he's uh he's got a big personality man just but he's he's he's
00:48:37
uh makes you happy when you see him because it's like dopam mean or
00:48:43
something it's it's great to be around we want him on the show you guys have any connections I see him at the Improv
00:48:48
sometimes to when for standup I think Marcelo is hilarious because it'll be like he'll be screaming in your face
00:48:55
doing a bit with you and then at the end of it'll go like God I'm so tired man you're like you are this is him tired
00:49:03
yeah he just got tired from yelling um well I think the cool thing
00:49:09
what you guys have going on is that you just make your own work you you know and the movie is on peacock for the rest of
00:49:17
our lives um treasure Foggy Mountain you guys wrote that did that so you're in a
00:49:24
I would say that to anyone if you can create your own work create your own movies create all these many feature films you're doing you know feels like
00:49:32
someone might go I like that one make that into a full movie but yeah and the other observation I thought about later
00:49:38
sorry was um the self-deprecating kind of characters you are the likability you
00:49:44
know you're always um just just extremely likable as as as
00:49:50
