00:03:02
Bobby on our great interview or well the the interview then he was great
00:03:08
um I mispronounce Mikey because I did a TV show with
00:03:15
Mickey Rooney years ago Nathan Lane one of the boys that could look it up I kept saying Mickey instead of Mikey so I
00:03:21
apologize and just know that it was a mistake and I kept calling him George Siegel
00:03:27
so that was his real name that was from that's that's a stage that's the stage
00:03:33
name so we apologize but it's not a big deal and who cares yeah Mikey day is a
00:03:38
great comedian on Saturday Night Live I call him Mickey day referred to him as Mickey day over and over again but
00:03:45
instead of doing scissor editing we left it in and now I'm making this apology slash FYI listen
00:03:54
um David [Laughter] God damn it that's it I've been calling
00:04:02
you Damon I said my wife says how'd the podcast go Damon was really funny I know Mikey day is great uh Bobby what's his
00:04:09

00:04:14
look I get the the name was wrong the interview is great I would take a listen
00:04:20
I enjoyed it David yeah it's almost over but here it is
00:04:26
[Music]
00:04:32
well this is kind of interesting because we have Bobby Moynihan on and over the
00:04:39
weekend this is an evergreen show but over the weekend
00:04:44
he crushed on Saturday Night Live
00:04:49
which is uh drunk uncle may be your best one like I don't know that but it was uh
00:04:55
it was what I thought when I saw that I said this guy because when I would go back in
00:05:00
guest house I'd be rusty and a little nervous but I guess you you did go back
00:05:06
in 2020 and do drunk uncle but you were so loose and so in the pocket I don't
00:05:12
know if I did yeah I I I I I felt very lucky that I did it right before I did this podcast
00:05:19
because you know it would crush we're going to get huge numbers I was I didn't I didn't know but I was I
00:05:26
was excited it was it was very nice to go back and just go oh I'm just gonna go have a good time I'm just gonna go I'm
00:05:33
not gonna worry I'm just gonna I'm not gonna Panic I'm just gonna go have fun I think the easiest funnest thing to do is
00:05:38
go back not host yes and just go score on something and get all this excitement and then leave and it's not so good 100
00:05:45
it also doesn't hurt to have Tom Hanks next to you to go like and and also there you go just in case
00:05:59
nothing Tom Hanks can't do and he's just uh he's like he's so enthusiastic about
00:06:05
your comedy he would just bounce off the walls when he used to host but so I guess let's talk for a minute about this
00:06:12
sketch David S pumpkins which is kind of getting a cult
00:06:18
following I think this SEC was that just the second time you did it in 2013 I looked it up and it floored me I did you
00:06:25
know and then you have you just did it so talk to that sketch a little bit we did it once and then like very very
00:06:33
quickly and maybe too quickly did an animated Christmas special uh I mean an
00:06:39
animated Halloween special and then with Tom and then didn't do it and didn't do
00:06:44
it again for many many years and then just came back and did it now after five or six how did it come about to be right
00:06:51
now when you're not hosting and Thomas and hosting yeah I think I'll be completely honest I think Rita Rita
00:06:58
Wilson had some singing engagements in town and Tom had a free Saturday and Tom had a free Saturday and was like it's
00:07:04
Halloween let's do uh David you know what that means yeah I got a text on Monday saying
00:07:12
are you available and then didn't hear anything and got flight information on Thursday and I was like I guess it's happening
00:07:17
oh who reaches out to Tom you or the show or Lauren I believe Tom reached out
00:07:22
to Lauren and was like I'm in town if you need me oh I was like here's my favorite for the
00:07:29
year or you know and uh and then they yeah yeah but I think I also think Tom loves
00:07:36
doing it like he was there all day Saturday you know that's so Tom yeah so
00:07:42
get just for a second I'm sure David's curious too it's just like the origin of that uh it's a little like it was you
00:07:48
and Mickey day and uh wrote it kind of and then you pitched it to Tom in 20
00:07:54
like that right yeah we were it was one of those it was one of those dumb five
00:07:59
o'clock in the morning like what's the Halloween show we we want to have something that comes back every year and
00:08:04
we were talking about how there's no Santa Claus for Halloween and like but
00:08:10
we also had a completely different idea about like the being these weird it was
00:08:15
do you remember that video there was like a video going around like a viral video of uh
00:08:22
uh it's like a guy an Indian guy would press the button on a on a stereo and he
00:08:28
would just start dancing and then the other guys would press stop and he would stop dancing it was just this weird video and like we
00:08:34
were talking about that and like we kind of were writing two different sketches at the same time and it wasn't getting anywhere
00:08:41
as it is in retelling as well yeah and uh it was one of those nights that
00:08:47
happens at writer nights that happens a lot yeah yeah 5 a.m yeah yeah and then
00:08:53
like we kind of settled on just like the funny ideas that like nobody knows what
00:08:58
David pumpkins is like kind of what didn't really and then by the time it got to
00:09:04
dress by the time it got to dress we were like we have no idea what we have here and then Tom Hanks was just like I
00:09:09
think I'm just gonna be as weird as possible and it just kind of found itself on air well but how is it how is
00:09:16
read through did you do read through with Tom with that uh yeah read through was it was great it had the kind of like
00:09:22
the same thing of just like what like we don't know what this is but it was funny and it's going through for now did you
00:09:28
get up or did you stay in your seat we got up and did the dances yeah and I
00:09:33
think so did he and I think that's what sold it was just like him not knowing what to do with it and his enthusiasm
00:09:38
when the elevator door opens watching it as a fan and the dances that you and
00:09:44
Mickey did were so specific in the first one you're like shaking your face and rolling and then Tom in the middle I
00:09:50
mean just as a composition like a painting and then audioly it's just like doors open it's like boom and then they
00:09:57
close there's something really irresistible about that concealer very silly visual a visual yeah also I also
00:10:04
truly believe the night it aired was like the uh the week before Trump got
00:10:10
elected the cold open was uh I don't remember what it was but it was very
00:10:16
somber and Kate McKinnon was uh Hillary Clinton and she was saying yeah he pretty much was like
00:10:23
we'll see what happens next and like then then there was another kind of depressing political sketch and then out
00:10:29
of nowhere this weird David speak to that about Madness just
00:10:36
absolute Madness and no real Rhyme or Reason other than it's just you know just so crazy funny
00:10:44
goofy sketch a very good thing sounds fun at re read through is fun where do
00:10:50
you sit at read through on a side note say that again where do you sit at read
00:10:55
through um I I sat on the side of the when I was there it was we were still in the
00:11:01
writer's room I don't think they do it there now now they do it in the studio because of covid but when we looked at
00:11:06
the when we look at the like you know we would look at the 25th Anniversary Book
00:11:12
because they had the pictures where everyone said where everybody sat and I sat in Farley's seat and I like oh I
00:11:19
know exactly where it is when you walk in the writer's room you
00:11:24
will you look straight in out those windows so you walk in there's a big square or sort of table Lauren used to
00:11:30
be back to the windows and the guest house cracked the window to get like a
00:11:36
smidgen of the 30 degree air in that boiling room and then next to him if you're looking at the windows to the
00:11:42
left was host and then I think I took over Dana because then you round the corner and it
00:11:48
was me I had a good spot there but I sat behind Dana for a while and then Dana came in yeah but yeah David would sit behind me
00:11:55
but like every week I I look back and he just scooching his chair out just a little bit closer to me yeah
00:12:01
whisper I'm next
00:12:07
funny because I think Farley where were you was that you had your back to the doors yeah back to the doors uh sort of
00:12:15
to the away from the but anyway on that back side of the square facing the window is where Chris was yeah yeah I
00:12:22
was there when I first got there and then moved over to the other side closer to where the host was for most of it but
00:12:28
like that was Keenan's spot next to the host was just they just put 20 years we
00:12:34
should say for 20 years Keenan now I I'm such a fan of his because he just
00:12:41
projects Joy with every line he says and he always hits it perfect he never
00:12:48
stumbles yeah consummate professional and like the same comic timing since he was eight yeah just had it I feel like
00:12:55
he lost Dana I feel like Keenan lost his um uh nerves I mean at certain point you
00:13:01
just go hey I'm just gonna [ __ ] have fun and milk out of the show I know I know it shouldn't be this scary there's
00:13:06
no reason for it I'm here I'm not getting fired and then it makes it so much more fun I would say for me
00:13:12
personally I want to ask Bobby that I was the loosest the last sketch I did on
00:13:18
the last show I remember thinking that's the best I've ever been in terms of my own in inter psychological profile so
00:13:25
for for you Bobby so you're there 2008 to 17 nine years how do you feel in
00:13:32
terms of that fear factor or feeling Loose by 17 compared to oh wait did you evolve or were you one of those savants
00:13:39
that you just didn't get nervous out there my first episode I had a space
00:13:44
camp but no I like my first episode I was like I got this this is the BET and then the second one was when the fear
00:13:50
started and where the cue cards and and all that but uh my last episode that I
00:13:56
did I got to the studio and just started throw going up I got like violently wow
00:14:01
why I I'm guessing a mix of like nerves and wanting to not wanting to leave and
00:14:08
wanting to leave and and all that stuff but like I I just I don't know I just got sick I just got super super sick the
00:14:15
last day but it was it was it was a wonderful day but going back now and
00:14:21
doing it five years later and like flipping on a switch that hasn't been on for five years like yes it was was
00:14:30
Bonkers and like I I go like oh that's the best I've ever done on that show because I had a I had a bit of that
00:14:36
Keenan where I was just like I'm just I'm j i I didn't shave I just had a good
00:14:42
time I I could absolutely feel that I looked at the a lot of other drunk
00:14:48
the drunk guy anyway what's his name drunk hunger drunk uncle drunk and uh you were always super loose but on this
00:14:54
past Saturday it was I thought it was almost the next level thing like you kind of didn't need the cue cards or
00:15:00
something but we were so in the pocket it was fun I was in a different place I called him Seth uh I called Colin Seth
00:15:08
and everyone was like that was a great joke and I was like that was 100 by accident
00:15:13
you know also you're focusing on two bits and that's it and then you know you're laser focused on that you have
00:15:19
nothing else to worry about exactly exactly and like we were right after we were I was this David pumpkins was the
00:15:27
first sketch of the night at dress and then uh at on air it was right after
00:15:32
update so like I had just enough of a quick change but just enough of a quick change to remind me that like I'm 45 and
00:15:39
I haven't done this in five years that's just uh The Singularity of SNL that you're playing drunk drunk uncle with
00:15:45
the beard and everything and then you go and get in the skeleton in costume do you have do you have the people changing
00:15:51
you do you get a mirror because sometimes I would say can I look at myself for a second well now now it's
00:15:56
completely different like now you're doing it in the studio and not well it was Jody and like it was people I know
00:16:02
and like Louie but also there's a a GoPro camera right here getting a time
00:16:07
lapse of you doing your physical change so you're like at your most vulnerable
00:16:13
and sweaty and like ripping and they're filming it with a GoPro and they're like
00:16:19
illegal just like oh boy and you're just in your underwear at one point for a
00:16:24
second that you're just bare naked basically yeah it's a lot of fun you
00:16:29
stand like a scarecrow and then they just rip everything off you and then someone that's a writer yeah is yelling
00:16:35
airlines that you're going remember at the beginning it's a little different and then at the end you're gonna be red on cards not great I'm just gonna slap
00:16:42
your butt three times
00:16:47
yeah yeah I like when it goes Boeing when you go
00:16:53
I love the face at the end and the face at the end where they scare people on the right and the top things
00:17:00
when he the Dumber he gets it the happier I get is because I know he's
00:17:06
having a good time characters that are happy are fun to watch the stupid the more dumb I act yeah yeah
00:17:13
good Lord and so he comes in and when you uh By the way when you walk in the room people at home uh you do dress here
00:17:21
so it's exactly like the real show but probably harder it's longer and you don't know if you're on the real show
00:17:26
but you're giving it everything they have an audience then they go in and pick the sketches which is
00:17:31
excruciatingly long because you're waiting waiting waiting and then around 11 you walk in there crammed in the if
00:17:38
they still do it Lauren's office they don't now no I was I was gutted gutted
00:17:45
and angry they do it at Madison's where they do it at Madame Tussauds
00:17:52
every I was like they're they're calling the meeting and I go to head upstairs and they're like it's in the studio now
00:17:57
and I was like no no no I don't like it I'm resisting it wow fear the fear of
00:18:04
going into dad's tight room and want to sit at the desk and he had the only a comfortable spot everyone else is jammed
00:18:11
and higher than everybody else we're all on the ground like animals right and then you went back in and you look at
00:18:18
the board and you see if your sketches move to the side it's out because they still have to trim the show it's
00:18:23
probably two hours at rest and then it gets cut down but you see your but you see pumpkins was first and it went after
00:18:29
update did that hurt yeah did that hurt of course of course it brings back that terrifying feeling of like what did we
00:18:35
do wrong and then you're like and then you hear well it's a it's for quick changes and I'm like I don't believe you
00:18:40
I don't believe you and it killed too hard is that bad I did for nine years
00:18:45
but this time I've had five years to say it now I don't believe you I wonder what that is you think just get off the
00:18:51
ground with a [ __ ] well now it's just a viability so at least on my feed it was like you know David S pumpkins and
00:18:58
drunk uncle come back to SNL so uh that's it's a different we did in my day
00:19:04
we didn't have YouTube you didn't have anything we didn't we didn't just we it was primitive man well I like that you
00:19:10
sound old too Bobby because you're you're saying like that read through room and this and that and everythings
00:19:16
are different and I'm glad it's stuck through Dana through me through all the way through you and then it changes it's
00:19:23
but I feel like I I was there for the turnover not turnover but the transition
00:19:28
like when I first got there Amy and Daryl were still there and like Shoemaker and and Marcy Klein I think
00:19:35
maybe the last person like hired I was the under Marcy maybe or close to could
00:19:42
we ask you about that because we had Nick Kroll on and he oh he's the best I love him brilliant of course and it's
00:19:48
it's there's a lot of Whimsy and weirdness to how you get this show or don't get it but I guess there was a big audition on the sixth floor and Nick was
00:19:56
in it he told the story of that were you in that audition I believe so I I think
00:20:01
so I think you would have been I think that Nick mentioned you yeah Ellie Kemper like TJ Miller there was a lot of
00:20:08
people done again yeah oh yeah yes we talked to him as well about it another
00:20:14
brilliant comedian but he had they both had very strange stories about going out
00:20:19
too soon and just Lauren was the only one there there nobody's here and it was just tilted uh pushed out the first time
00:20:27
don't go out it was just a horror show so what was your experience there and for a second just what led you to get
00:20:34
there was it from Second City in Chicago or where did you come from I was doing I was in New York I was doing Upright
00:20:41
Citizens Brigade oh a UCB guy yeah [Laughter]
00:20:50
um yeah I I was I was I was doing UCB and and kind of met like Amy and Seth
00:20:55
and Horatio through through that through that doing that uh ascat and then I was doing Horatio Sans as uh improv tour
00:21:03
like he was doing College shows and I was doing that and then uh kind of my
00:21:09
sketch group got on the radar of Mike Shoemaker and and I think that was kind of how and then I
00:21:16
auditioned got called back with a bunch of very very talented people and uh uh was then
00:21:24
told I was like I think we'll start you in January like I met with Lauren and he was like wow Brian Brian Williams is
00:21:31
hosting that seems like a good one but he never said you got the job and I was just like what's happening and then it
00:21:38
was in the summer though you're saying January but no and then two days later was the writer strike and I heard
00:21:43
nothing for nine months oh whoa like it just like like went like and I didn't
00:21:49
get it I ended up not getting it because uh during they were I guess during the
00:21:55
writer strike Maya Rudolph had a baby so they hired Casey Wilson and I didn't get it uh they hired a woman instead so I I
00:22:02
um and Casey's a good friend of mine and I was so excited uh but it was devastating for me and then so wait wait
00:22:09
a minute you almost got it and then you went back in line okay and then what happened back didn't get it so it was
00:22:14
like 14 months uh in total and then all of a sudden nowhere I got a call saying like hey do you want to come in again
00:22:20
this week I went on a Wednesday I did like all new stuff and then
00:22:26
or found out on Monday when in on Wednesday and like found out on Friday
00:22:31
that I got it and then the next week I was on the show oh [ __ ] your pants Productions my God I would be like what
00:22:37
yeah it was not after 14 months
00:22:42
[Music] how many years as a comedian or sketch comedian or you know at that point how
00:22:50
far were you into this I was older I was 31 when I got it hey me too yeah hey bro
00:22:57
UCB yeah did you do it in college like did you do
00:23:04
a lot of theater and college and stuff in high school I did I did theater and then like yeah I did a lot of plays and
00:23:12
musicals and and and and stuff like that and then right after college came back to New York was doing a like a play uh
00:23:20
saw Upright Citizens Brigade saw an improv show there and went like oh no I was taking uh stand up classes at Comic
00:23:27
Strip live and I was like oh no I was like this is I I don't think this is for me and then uh took saw the improv class
00:23:35
and was like oh this is this is more of a fit just for a second were you the type of kid who put on shows for your
00:23:41
parents or siblings and stuff before you go back and like okay
00:23:46
watch me did you do Little Voices what were you like as a kid performer I was
00:23:52
never good never good at Impressions or accents or anything but I was uh very
00:23:58
very like watch me look at me look at this dumb thing I get very very dumb
00:24:03
thing were you the type when you jump in the pool you go watch watch and you really weren't doing anything that great
00:24:08
one billion percent and it got out of the pool and did the exact same thing well I know watch again no I'm gonna do
00:24:14
it I'm gonna put a little tweak on a little bit on my Cannonball it's so so embarrassing so you you how did you deal
00:24:22
with the nerves of that audition 14 months later did you feel like oh [ __ ] it I probably won't get it again or and
00:24:28
you lost it to Maya's baby this time I did
00:24:43
David do your Lauren oh Maya's baby is it's just you don't even need to see her
00:24:48
but she's already got hired I mean it just it's just the jeans Bobby you know
00:24:53
it's that thing when your mother's a superstar you know her grandmother's saying once you get into things thing is
00:24:59
a great word for Lauren this covers a lot thing of like uh my favorite was
00:25:05
always uh uh we would always do CNN sketches and when you know like in in on
00:25:10
the sketch it said CNN bumper so we would every week was CNN bumper
00:25:16
oh Lauren reading and read through yeah anytime there's a CNN oh that's good I
00:25:21
haven't heard that word CNN bumper yeah Lauren has his read through voice oh stage Direction that's right he reads
00:25:28
stage Direction stage Direction Google in the honey uh my favorite uh my favorite Lorne note
00:25:36
uh during uh in between dress and air meeting uh very long silence very tense
00:25:42
meeting there was about five seconds in silence and then he just went we have a boom shadow and fart face
00:25:50
it was a personal gift to everyone in the room that was that was beautiful it was some sketch called fart face and
00:25:56
that's all he said sometimes he does when he does read through like he'll surprise you because he's so bored by
00:26:02
sketch 44 like if I have the receptionist coming up and they sh and Mike shroom taker buries it at the end
00:26:08
and uh and then at the end they go it's like sketch 41 and everyone's nodding
00:26:13
off then here go he goes the receptionist yeah he says it like oh look a little bit
00:26:21
nugget yeah he reads the title before you read
00:26:27
the sketch and he yeah it's funny that he gives a little spin I didn't I did uh
00:26:33
to the fart face one I've said this once before but it's I wrote a sketch called funny little poopy head and I I had the
00:26:40
stage Direction he said funny little poopy had like 500 times
00:26:46
sad lovetts is turning purple anyway so you do you because you love Lauren and
00:26:52
you just do all that one of the gutting one of the gutting moments me and Tim Robinson wrote A Sketch I believe it was
00:26:59
it was just uh it was a throwback to like old SNL where I wanted to just write a jingle and all I remember about
00:27:05
it was it was a split screen and we were talking on the phone and and after and then like it pulled back and revealed we
00:27:13
were on the toilet and the thing was just it's two best friends who talk on the phone while they're taking a dump
00:27:19
and it was terrible it was absolutely awful and at the end of the sketch Lauren in complete silage just went and
00:27:26
the Emmy goes to [Laughter] that's what Lauren is funny that's the
00:27:33
dry throwaways it's funny it's funny 10 years later in the moment here you wanna
00:27:38
you wanna oh yeah you know if there's a one percent chance it's getting on now it's zero yeah it
00:27:46
was it was a it's it was a blast it was good it was also good to see him again recently and not be terrified and just
00:27:52
go like yeah thanks that was fun we did him for this we ought we met him and I've seen him for dinner it was so good
00:27:58
it's just fun to see him when you're you're still a little you know it's a
00:28:03
little odd because he's like Dad boss our coach our teacher but you know you you realize at a
00:28:10
certain point he just he wants to hang on have fun and he did say something that was very interesting
00:28:17
remember Dana when he was leaving he said people say are you gonna retire and he goes I would be worried I wouldn't be around
00:28:23
funny people like he says I'm so lucky I'm around funny people but are you going to be around funny people the
00:28:28
specific quote he said about funny people to me this was in in New York he goes um there's only 900 of us on the planet
00:28:36
have you heard that one uh yeah I have I've heard him say it and I've heard you say it and so specifically brilliant but
00:28:43
what happens is you just when you see Lauren away from the show because he he has all the power and you make fun of the teacher then you kind of see that
00:28:50
he's he's kind of he's he's very sensitive guy you know and very
00:28:56
vulnerable go ahead yeah you you always talk about or like you always tell a story about like when you first met him
00:29:01
with Paul at his house and stuff and like I've never had that experience like I remember one time they asked me to
00:29:07
like he was like you know we're coming back from La if you want to fly with us and I remember being like I ain't getting on that plane like that I got
00:29:13
like scary like at the time and like that that was apparent this time going
00:29:19
back like oh I should have been so much more at ease with him because he is not
00:29:24
as scary in anything yeah do you want to have anxiety for six and a half hours yeah exactly do you want to question
00:29:31
this next six hours for the rest of your life I was on Long Island with Lauren at his house and I'm against that just the
00:29:36
two of us for a weekend and we drove around a sports car we looked at things and he saw a little shed and he goes if
00:29:43
if I lose everything I could live there and then because Lauren has this reputation being erudite you know we
00:29:50
went to a movie and a matinee and we're just in the theater and would you like some of my popcorn you know just
00:29:55
humanized him I don't know but he said there's only one Lauren it's it's true
00:30:01
it's nuts but at the same time in a way like I remember meeting you Dana for the first time when you came and hosted like
00:30:07
I got to do a church chat I was Snooki in a church yes I remember it was funny
00:30:13
like that that was the first moment that truly broke my brain at that show when
00:30:18
you're like you watch something your entire life and then you become a part of it and then you're sitting sitting
00:30:24
two feet away from something you used to dress up as is Halloween and like it was nuts like that you it's like that that
00:30:31
crazy feeling I don't know if you remember David I met you when we did grown-ups too no not at all I was in
00:30:37
grown-ups too and uh we had lunch together and it's like it's like we're with Nick Swardson was there it's like
00:30:43
it's just it's mockers everybody there was like Lauren to me I wish I had been like a little more I know all I remember
00:30:50
from that is I wrote my diary I wish Nick wasn't at that lunch when you went back this time Bobby did
00:30:57
you you there are cast members there that were in the Bumpkin sketch I mean that I think are just two shows in or
00:31:04
three pumpkins sorry Jimmy pumpkins I went to
00:31:09
Community College pumpkins AKA Tom Hanks so you were there
00:31:14
with young cast members and did they mention being fans of yours or asking
00:31:21
any questions what was it like to be around seeing how fresh they are and kind of scared but most would they have
00:31:27
to be a little no one was scared no one was scared I was super confident I was amazed at how no one was scared oh
00:31:33
really uh yeah I I just remember a lot of fear sure they don't yeah me too but
00:31:39
then there's Keenan who's just like you know Keenan like was there when I got there I watched him get the show and
00:31:44
he'll he'll be there after I die and and like having that was was was was the
00:31:51
best like him and Cecily were the only ones there still from when I was there but it's it's Bonkers having Jack Harlow
00:31:59
the host who's like 24 he's like man I grew up with you on this show and I'm just like oh Jesus like that is the
00:32:05
first time are you sure well it's it's like I think I was a kid when I got it
00:32:11
pretty much so now it's it's like I even was 31 but like it just feels crazy to
00:32:17
get to that like I can't believe I'm in the I'm coming back phase of of my Essence it gets more interesting as you
00:32:23
go along the uh the ladder so yeah I got it is it funny Bobby when you realize
00:32:29
like uh if it was the same for you maybe Dana too we had you know hard
00:32:34
lines in our in our dress room so or in our office not dressing room but when you when you get people that you go
00:32:41
oh this is the most important thing to everyone I know and then you leave and you go nobody gives a [ __ ] like that's a
00:32:49
wake-up call that's hugely yeah yeah it's hugely apparent when I was on the show that was my life the show was my
00:32:56
life now I got a kid like my wife my the pandemic happened my parents you know just like have like so many things
00:33:02
happened and you go like oh this is silly right when you go did you guys
00:33:08
think that the fifth sketch should have been fourth and they're like on what you're like the show I'm on they're like
00:33:13
oh I didn't I was out Saturday I didn't know and then I felt like when I left and I go there's they're still doing the
00:33:20
show without me and then later on I'm seeing Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler and and Bill Hader and I go and they're
00:33:26
doing it better than me and they're good yeah yeah who did you come in with Bobby in 2008 you you kind of was it with Bill
00:33:34
Hader and you had Amy or who was on the because you had some Heavy Hitters yeah I came into that amazing um that
00:33:41
amazingly established cash it was like Kristen Wiig Bill Hader sedakis Andy Samberg Fred Armisen uh are you reading
00:33:49
this I am Alex I I went back into it and all season by
00:33:55
the time you came in they'd been there four or five years or two years or something like that yeah I was the first
00:34:01
cast member to come in in a couple years and also yeah uh uh the only one my
00:34:08
season um John Mulaney came in as a writer as well we shared an office was
00:34:13
Fred Armisen mean was Fred Armisen kind of mean the meanest I've
00:34:18
famously famous [ __ ] Fred normison no the nicest guy in the world that's why
00:34:25
our universe like I was nervous I knew Dana a little bit I was still nervous around him because in his in the pocket
00:34:31
at us now and Dennis I knew still weird because once you're in there it's a big [ __ ] deal and then going up and
00:34:38
asking questions or saying do you want to write something with me or it's just weird like to go for Kristen wig and
00:34:43
she's like royalty there you know yeah it was that the first year was like everyone was really nice and the second
00:34:50
year was when I kind of realized like oh I think I I think no one really wants to
00:34:56
hang out and talk about Statue you know not like like it was like that was when he was kind of on your own yeah yeah it
00:35:02
took me a while to figure that out did you partner up with somebody or get some chemistry with the writer or another
00:35:08
cast member obviously you and Mickey day with David S pumpkins I uh yeah a bunch uh I
00:35:16
I shared an office with John Mulaney I had known him he was wonderful like Ryan
00:35:21
Tucker and Colin Jost was a writer at that time and we wrote a bunch together and great writer uh once Cecily came
00:35:28
along we did a bunch of sketches together and um yeah
00:35:35
[Music] you know it's interesting that like Phil obviously the shinier objects like Dana
00:35:43
and Dana let me finish um so much I know that that's that's a
00:35:48
compliment because Dana but you got Phil if you're gonna put him in your sketch you just stop worrying because he will
00:35:55
get a everything out of it and more and so those are unsung heroes that take
00:36:00
longer to figure out how good they are uh I mean people in the business get it but it takes the audience you know if
00:36:06
they don't jump out in a big sketch that's like like Lorraine Newman like you know Chris Parnell like those guys
00:36:11
yeah just like excessively to me is just like essential she's a she's yeah it's
00:36:17
just that we learned being stand-ups to uh just working with other people and loving it when you're killing together
00:36:23
like Phil and Jan on Church chatter Phil as Ed McMahon that partnering with
00:36:28
people Mike Myers and Kevin Dillon was so much fun coming from stand up where
00:36:33
it's kill or be killed it's just you against the world could I could I fan out for a minute because I did a deep
00:36:39
dive on Bobby Moynihan because what there's you see your best of back to back and you realize that
00:36:45
you're kind of like Phil you can play anything but then sometimes you play stuff that's like Supernatural like out
00:36:51
there that I it really rocked me the kitty cat guy the commitment of that character
00:36:57
can you just explain that sketch and I thought this isn't gonna work you know
00:37:02
and then it just went into the whole other I mean you you could anyway explain how that character came about
00:37:08
like a lot of my sketches on like right address I went like this isn't gonna work and it just ends up relying on like
00:37:15
weird performance sometimes it was all you that was all set up for you everyone else was straight and you just kept
00:37:22
escalating it and and winding down into it this cute little boy on a spaceship
00:37:27
who won't won't do anything they ask him to do except he's just in love with his kitty cat I mean it's like so stupid I
00:37:33
was on a camping trip and like a friend of a friend brought a friend and that
00:37:39
guy total stranger yes pretty much was just being silent and took a couple beers and went in the tent and then came
00:37:45
out much much later in the night and sat down and like kind of looked like he was
00:37:51
crying and we were like hey hey man are you okay and he just went I missed my little kitty cat
00:37:57
and uh and we were like what and like and then we I proceeded to write uh tell
00:38:04
somebody at work about that and they were like let's put him in a spaceship where people can't get away from him yeah also there's another layer of just
00:38:12
to make sure I interrupt you uh the layer of the people talking they're kind of funny talking like the movie Alien or
00:38:18
that yeah they're so serious that's a layer of Comedy there yeah and I go that's gonna be about that and then it
00:38:24
sort of switches and then those the best ones are like you don't really predict would it be putting you on the spot Bobby to move toward the mic and just do
00:38:31
a little bit of that character so the audience knows what because it was sort of a little boy but it was something different
00:38:37
I just would get I would I would just try and be the creepiest like weird adorable man or a boy where I would just
00:38:45
go I miss my little kitty cat you're squeezing your diaphragm uh which
00:38:51
is what the guy sounded like yeah yeah it was bizarre I also wanted to point
00:38:57
out uh for people who are drunk uncle fans the non-sequitur aspect of it is
00:39:03
incredible it the guy hates progress you're it's it kind of is sneakily it's
00:39:10
sneakily slightly edgy with the Immigrant stuff and the stuff that guy can say in his own way so it's sneakily
00:39:17
a little more than just a drunk guy it's actually got some weight to it a little bit it was it was weird because it's
00:39:24
like we haven't done it in five years it's the first time the last time I did it was with Trump like you know like
00:39:30
like oh with the actual Trump when when he was there and like oh we said like a
00:39:35
bunch of terrible stuff about how racist he was like I was like he's just like me very racist and stupid and like he came
00:39:42
over to me and shook my hand like thank you for saying such nice things about and I was like I don't think you got
00:39:47
what happened there like the whole point of drunk uncle was like the stuff I'm saying is abhorrent right exactly I
00:39:56
always know when people come over they're like I Love Drunk Uncle man I think just like him and I'm like oh no yeah but uh so it was hard to come like
00:40:04
to kind of reconcile that after black lives matter and come back and go like is this funny to do anymore like The
00:40:10
Lovable race in five years it changes everything completely and uh my pitch
00:40:15
was like maybe he's a little woke after the pandemic and they were just like nobody wants to hear woke drunk uncle
00:40:21
and I was like I get it oh yeah it's just finding that line of like well I know what I'm saying is very stupid and
00:40:27
I'm making fun of that and I hope you understand you know it's funny when the guys like that there you could do where
00:40:33
he is trying to be woke and everything comes out so wrong we got like a couple of those into this
00:40:39
one where he just said like I know now that black Adams matter like and like right he's trying he's trying yeah
00:40:46
that's that is a lot of there's a lot of Huggers there's a lot of uh people I know that still and then they get mad if
00:40:52
they're corrected at all they're like oh okay so no no ass grabbing but what if
00:40:58
they like it you're like we did a quick poll and uh so you how
00:41:04
many times you do the McDonald's firing people was that just a one-off with Cecilia we did it a couple I think we
00:41:10
did it like three or four times maybe two or three times because I didn't like that okay that that one also must have
00:41:15
been really fun to perform where you are two employees at McDonald's you think you're getting fired and then you just
00:41:20
dissect all the other employees and just [ __ ] all over them going back and forth
00:41:26
that was just me and Cecily trying the tactic of like this is like you know how
00:41:31
like I don't know there's like character Parade sketch or the impression parade Sketcher like you
00:41:37
write like if I write a a a a game show this week it might help to get on so like we were just like let's write a
00:41:43
sketch with every cast member in it where we just get to go through every cast member and tear them apart like
00:41:50
he's trying to be funny and that was literally it was just like what if we wrote something that had every cast
00:41:55
member in it yeah that's when they walk around Dana like Marcy or shoot Shoemaker you know maybe uh you could
00:42:02
put Ellen in that or yeah well the little Edge to it was like tarim
00:42:10
yeah it's such a great because they would just go to close up with no lines like Sudeikis had a funny angle and they
00:42:16
got laughs too so that was you know extremely funny when in doubt cut to
00:42:23
Keenan making a face always cast pieces are always in scoring for people
00:42:29
listening like when you're writing if the the only little tricks there are there aren't many but big cast is good
00:42:36
give the what what is that the host doesn't do anything he's a prop like you know if you read a funny
00:42:42
character and then uh like I told Dana when I've told people wrote one when David Bowie was there the receptionist
00:42:48
and then he comes in and blah blah but he won it he liked it but then he said I want to be the receptionist and I was
00:42:54
like oh wait a second but that's understandable because you're the funny
00:42:59
one and you're and it is a prop and you don't really think like that because you're so focused on I just got to get a character that makes sense and it's
00:43:05
funny and you finally get that and cast is a little better at that you know had you done it before or was that the first
00:43:12
time I had not done it and I I was gonna say you want that to happen three times in yeah right if that happens then
00:43:19
there's a way to explain it a little bit Springsteen wanted to do church lady he was a musical guest and I was early on
00:43:25
and I was like Bruce no I'm kidding okay Jesus I believe it I believe it I think
00:43:31
the lady is someone who can say David by the way okay I think of you more as a feature player I think this it might be
00:43:37
too many lines for you and I don't I don't want to put that much on you did
00:43:42
you have um because a meeting Springsteen was a thrill and he walked on the 8h and the Wayne's World set was there and he's like so that's what it
00:43:49
looks like you know stuff like that did you have stuff like that where you're meeting musicians and movie stars and
00:43:55
it's just fun yeah constantly I mean like I think I mean like I I was I was a super fan of the
00:44:02
show when I when I got it like I don't like I don't know you know I grew up on it for many many generations like you
00:44:08
guys but like uh when you came and hosted for church lady like that was nuts that was the first time where it
00:44:15
was like playing and where you really realized like playing in that playground of like you just get to jump into these worlds
00:44:21
that you've loved for so long um yeah you see the church Chat Set and then you go sit in it and then you're
00:44:27
like snooky is a very big character for you I mean you crushed with that she had she had all this Tanner on and this blue
00:44:34
dress and the crazy hair that was like the first thing that hit for me was Snooki where like the first real the
00:44:40
real first was it update I think I saw you do update and I was like oh my God because I think hater comes into the
00:44:46
situation and you're like have to explain who it is and I'm like oh is this really really early on because uh I
00:44:53
I was flipping through the channels and just saw some girl get punched in the face and I was like what is this and and
00:45:00
watched it and it was like that week and then like the week after I did it was
00:45:05
like when Snooki like people were like talking about her yeah and when and then I and then that year I did the MTV Movie
00:45:12
Awards dressed as her with her and she came over to me and was like nobody knew who I was and then you did me on SNL and
00:45:18
now I make 30 grand for personal appearances that's a lot yeah it was a lot it was a
00:45:25
lot I can open for it yeah yeah okay so you did you do snooky snooky
00:45:32
on uh update and that's it that's a nice pump is that early for you also seems a
00:45:38
while ago somewhat I had like a couple like my fourth episode like uh I was
00:45:43
like of this Beyonce sketch with single ladies that did really well and like that that kind of like started and then
00:45:50
Snooki yeah and then like I got I think I got a little more confident and update because of Snooki and then like drunk
00:45:57
uncle started happening and and like most of most of my stuff that people
00:46:02
remember got on to update because that's I think that's where it states the score
00:46:08
oh yeah I saw Anthony crispino Anthony crispino just hey so that was a very
00:46:15
what give us that accent a little bit it was really specific what what was it from it was just my my dad would always
00:46:21
look around when he would tell you something like there was a spy there and I just always thought that was funny and
00:46:27
uh the idea of just not giving any information but uh [Music]
00:46:32
like this like everything just got progressively higher and more ridiculous as I lied Dana did you see that one
00:46:40
where he has Ryan Gosling with him because um first of all nothing better on update you got a character it works
00:46:47
and if you want to jack it up bring out the host that was also yeah sorry and
00:46:53
he's funny and he looks funny and then he is funny uh that was the first time where the
00:46:59
host like at the host meeting they were like this is Ryan Gosling and he everyone clapped and he was like I want
00:47:04
to do an Anthony crispino and I like was like oh wow that was the first time that
00:47:09
happened and only time probably for me and it was it was it was a lot of fun he was great he's a stud yeah Dana used to
00:47:16
get that for Wayne's World or you know I can't I can't imagine and they and then uh Lauren would go
00:47:22
Dana Mike what do you think um we're thinking of Waynesboro maybe this week
00:47:27
with Madonna and Aerosmith do you think that'll get numbers it could be I don't
00:47:34
know well Steven Tyler has a certain sort of chop that we could use that
00:47:41
exact thing of like Bobby's here but he's not here what oh yeah now Bobby when you do the good
00:47:48
nights I used to have to count those as a sketch unfortunately because David would get on my shoulders
00:47:55
at the good nights and I would carry him around the stage on my shoulders remember that David yeah
00:48:02
when people announce me I like to try and throw that in like you know him for messing up you know his characters from us now good drunk uncle the good nights
00:48:09
I'd like to throw that in there they knew even the good nights and I'd grab Farley and I go you didn't earn it this
00:48:14
week go back and then uh who actually comes for the lens on your cast Bobby knows
00:48:23
who's that always ended up front oh that's a the host hugger I love that I
00:48:30
love that house yeah I feel like we had a couple uh I don't have to give any
00:48:36
names um that's funny I was I was the opposite to a fault where I was just like thank
00:48:42
you for being here sorry I was in your way and like didn't know better I think I should have been acted more like a a
00:48:48
confidence my tactic was like football I would go back around do my route I'd go in the back wait and then I go right
00:48:55
down the middle get between Farley and David and then boom FaceTime it was a
00:49:00
boom distinctive route that I did every time I always stood on one side and said hi to my mom I'd like it for nine years
00:49:07
that was it I mean mouth did the same thing yeah my mom like just I just like that was just that's cute that's an
00:49:14
angle too I like that um the worst is if you go up to hug the host and they turn and hug Mike Myers or
00:49:20
someone and then you look away and you go that's when I'm on camera when I got iced yeah your hands are up in the hug
00:49:26
position but they turned and you're just holding it there for a second very risky yeah my favorite good nights moment and
00:49:33
it's it was caught on camera was uh uh uh being there and
00:49:38
having John McCain I caught eyes with John McCain like through the crowd and
00:49:44
for some reason he got real excited and like beelined like pushing through Keenan Pete Davidson and people just to
00:49:51
get through gets to me and throws his arm around me and goes always a pleasure Horatio
00:50:11
my friends friends that's all I remember I don't do them anymore but whatever I'll be when when you're up there and
00:50:18
did I see a clip of um maybe it was you with McCartney
00:50:23
oh yeah good nights they were singing or something was it Christmas show or something yeah that was like uh and
00:50:31
Springsteen yeah it was like they they they were Paul McCartney was there but Bruce
00:50:38
Springsteen was the musical guest it was the Christmas show and Tina and Amy were hosting and at dress good God they were
00:50:46
like yeah and at dress they like they pulled everybody off because Bruce was
00:50:51
going to do uh Santa Claus is coming to town at the end of the show and so everyone kind of left us left the stage
00:50:59
and went like into the tunnel almost yeah and then on air for some reason he
00:51:05
just pulled Amy and Tina up and then he was like come on guys so everyone jumped on stage for that and it was
00:51:11
you better not cry you better not proud of you anyway love Springfield I can't
00:51:19
do it yeah and then um McCartney there too I mean she's the two I had a I had a
00:51:25
moment with McCartney we're just during a rehearsal where he popped out of the host you know like they have the dressing rooms over on the side near the
00:51:31
page desk and he just popped it out with a with a pizza box in his hand and went
00:51:36
does anybody want pizza and me and I don't do clearly don't do a pull and uh me and Jenna russettano the stage
00:51:42
manager just went inside and had a slice of pizza with him and talked about New York Pizza and it was like ah those moments where you just go like yeah this
00:51:49
place is uh uh I think he tries to be normal and he would rather just sometimes just drop it just like be
00:51:55
normal especially around there you just around funny people and talented people if you want to sound like him Bobby just
00:52:01
everything is a question so we'll be like would you like some pizza
00:52:14
a lot of loud Italians hey you do I have this tailor Bobby and he uh
00:52:21
he every time I don't know why I go to because every time I go I just want these pants then
00:52:26
I go what he goes he's doing it you don't want him thin it looks weird he went all the way to the ground I know
00:52:33
his shoes they're fighting on my shoes and then he goes and they're too skinny I go I look at him his his pants are
00:52:39
like each two feet wide you know and I go why am I looking at you you know you know why don't I go to someone that looks good in their clothes you want the
00:52:46
double break they tell me yeah you don't want the double break right he goes this should be dragging I know I don't
00:52:52
understand shoes everything I do I want to forget to get the sleeves no he
00:52:58
fights me on everything I'm disappointed that's a character you would do if you're on SNL that would be a potential
00:53:04
sketch with the host yeah 100 especially if it was Jon Hamm or someone you know
00:53:10
studly guy I uh I got my when I got my suit for my wedding the guy who fitted
00:53:15
me for my suit his name was Lionel he had an L on his on everything everything was monogrammed and kept telling me he
00:53:22
kept he just kept going don't waste my time okay don't waste my time and I was like this guy's an SNL character I'm
00:53:28
gonna do it this week I wrote the sketch in five minutes I was like this is gonna crush this is my target Lady this is my
00:53:35
my you know this is my bye-bye and uh and uh went go in and it just tanks by
00:53:43
page two ah and then I'm like oh God I got that weird drunk uncle thing in the
00:53:48
second half hopefully that'll work so what how did you say the catchphrase what was the catch phrase again and I
00:53:54
can say it uh I was it was just he was just like I hate everything you're wearing stop wasting my time stop
00:53:59
wasting my time that's a good question yeah yeah that was it he was just very confident and mean I've seen what about
00:54:06
Dana when someone does a catchphrase and then um and it bombs by page two and they have eight more pages
00:54:16
where like we were still kind of doing those sketches like old SNL sketches now
00:54:22
they're called Old where it was like a theme song and then a Crazy Character like Gilly was like kind of the last one
00:54:28
we did because yeah it's a funny when I first got there the first year I remember Andy Samberg being like hey
00:54:34
that video we did they're gonna put it on this thing called YouTube and I was like what is that and he was like it's this website that it's just gonna have
00:54:40
videos he's like and I was just like well good luck man that sounds terrible like that'll never work and and that'll
00:54:47
never work and then like buy my fourth or fifth episode was the first time we were in HD and then like you couldn't do
00:54:54
reoccurring characters anymore because they would put them on YouTube and like people could see them immediately
00:55:00
and like it was such a huge difference burn out quicker I mean yeah like we would wait to see another Wayne's World
00:55:06
or we would wait to see it because we had to and then like like those kind of characters which is something that like
00:55:12
I feel like I got the show for was these weird characters you liking the juice yeah like all of a sudden that was
00:55:19
slowly starting to go away and I was like oh well I guess I gotta I guess that's like that many catch phrases the
00:55:26
politicians come back because they're just the only really famous people around us that everybody knows they
00:55:33
would do it much quicker they would do them like Clump them closer together because they would all be on the
00:55:38
internet we're gonna do a lot of questions
00:55:45
[Music] so this is a sketch that I thought was so funny uh supernaturally funny that
00:55:52
you did with the rock uh I saw this one World Wrestling promo straight man in a
00:55:59
sense but you play it so real off of the rock you knew that was crushing when it
00:56:04
I mean it was just a that was one of those gifts where like the rock it was
00:56:10
The Rock's idea oh like he was like good he was like he was like yeah when we did these promos I would always do this bit
00:56:16
where I would get really really personal and like and it was his idea and then
00:56:21
they pitched it to Rob Klein and Rob Klein wrote it and it's just it's one of
00:56:27
those gifts of just like yeah all I gotta do is stand here and get offended and have like it was Ah that's one of my
00:56:32
favorite can't that was one of those like yeah like from from table to from
00:56:37
table to air very yeah Farm to Table Table to farm it was
00:56:42
very easy in the sense of like there wasn't a lot of panic all week of like are we getting this right like it was
00:56:48
just like no we just I I get offended by the terrible things he said and some some sketches like that don't really
00:56:53
even change it didn't a lot it didn't and like there's little things about it like
00:56:58
Taryn even Taryn kill him oh that's right he was good yeah just keeps looking at his phone the whole time and
00:57:04
then whenever he has to be the announcer he just got like yeah there's just little things about it that was well for the people at home no one's at home for
00:57:10
the people driving um yeah it's really like uh the rock is giving a uh is is tells them you know
00:57:18
before they do an interview well they they they're beating up on each other verbally and Bobby does a normal thing
00:57:23
and I'll kill you in the ring and all that but he says you know say whatever you want say whatever you want yeah and then he says say whatever you want
00:57:29
really get after me and then what does the rock say Bobby that I have herpes and that he's been
00:57:34
catfishing me with a picture of my own daughter yeah it's just terrible yeah just horrible awful things but it's he
00:57:41
was so good in it because it's in his world like he knows it so well it was funny when you go that was a little
00:57:47
rough just say something about in the ring during the fight he goes oh God I got it then he goes this guy's gonna get in the ring and I'm scared he's going to
00:57:53
give me his herpes in the ring no no kept going I'm gonna hurt you
00:57:58
psychologically it's funny because you stay in character
00:58:03
until they break they always go oh cut and then he goes how was that and you go well I didn't like it it was horrible like this it hurt my feelings yeah but
00:58:10
you don't do it during when you're filming but you played it so well I mean that's not easy to be the so-called
00:58:16
straight man and get gigantic laughs from the straight man what about that that catchphrase film you guys did made
00:58:22
me laugh so hard you played Slappy Pappy
00:58:27
well the dumbest thing in the world uh I'm a huge fan of Sinbad and I think
00:58:33
he's fantastic and then I found this guy Shucky Ducky uh have you ever heard of Chucky ducky sure I'll say yes it sounds
00:58:41
funny already he was a stand-up comic and he would tell jokes like uh I'm supposed to pay my wife alimony but I
00:58:48
don't she says you're a deadbeat and I said no I'm just patient Chucky ducky quack quack and then he would just say
00:58:54
oh that's great at the end of every joke and it really uh made me laugh it's
00:59:00
funnier than the job always so funny I got one a redneck comedian oh yeah you
00:59:05
ever fart so loud dog too stayed away go what that come and get some that was a
00:59:11
little Care by the way it doesn't even correlate really when you go coach it doesn't need to come and get some here's
00:59:17
mine David has a catchphrase oh yeah I got how do I do it let me see uh
00:59:24
uh I I call my wife the other day and uh her boyfriend answered Rack Em yeah
00:59:31
that's it rack them I think we all have a real joke first no rackham's funny I
00:59:36
mean we almost called the podcast Rackham okay I got one all right it's a child molester Joe but we'll change it
00:59:42
so this child molester goes in the woods with this five-year-old kid and the kid goes mister I'm scared he goes you're
00:59:47
scared after this I gotta walk out here by myself rack them crack him that's right that's like a
00:59:55
joke but it's a rude one let's try it I asked my mama to wash my tighty whities
01:00:00
she said okay I said how'd it go she said great I haven't seen skidmots like this since the Daytona 500 Come Again
01:00:07
song since since I dated Big Daddy Don Garlits come and get us home come and
01:00:12
get his Tom Ahmed my sister only cause Mama Turned Me Down come and get some
01:00:17
it's making up jokes these all would have worked that's pretty much what it was just doing this in a writer's room
01:00:23
for hours and then just coming up with different comics and what their catchphrases and the escalation at the
01:00:29
end where the bull Horner what was it the prime prompt with uh California
01:00:36
I believe it was like Pete airhorn Schultz and he just didn't he just came out
01:00:42
all right so that was that was the perfect button for that so what are you doing these days before we wrap up I
01:00:49
have a question before we wrap up too but how's your headspace it seems like you're just working like crazy I mean
01:00:55
you're just we did secret life of pets together one and two yeah yeah we were yeah we were there for three soon
01:01:02
um yeah I was just on Mr Mayor which David you were Fantastic Mr Mayor I was on Mr Mayor I I think so yeah that's Tina's right
01:01:10
yeah yeah um uh yeah doing good I wrote a children's book it's called not all sheep or boring that's not all cheaper
01:01:16
boring that's right if you count sheep to fall asleep because some of them are extremely
01:01:22
boring that's why
01:01:30
comedy sketches that was a part of your resume I saw uh yeah one of the first things I did Donald Glover all those
01:01:36
guys yeah super Talent here's my last question for Bobby Dana okay ladies
01:01:41
ladies and gentlemen I'm holding in my car final question it's so wispy this is
01:01:48
just one I wrote down does your years do they send a car to take
01:01:54
you to work every day or even take you to the show uh when I first got there no
01:02:01
um and then not even show day no but then on show day we got cars okay that
01:02:07
was that was always the case and we had limos at first and then that stopped oh
01:02:12
really after party well no then we just got like regular cars like the Lim like the actual limousines themselves oh like
01:02:20
skinny lines ridiculously like 1980s yeah cocaine limousine we had those and
01:02:26
like yeah and we we like that ended like after the first year or two there but
01:02:32
never never cars to like were sometimes for rehearsal towards the
01:02:37
end because like we would they would call you up and be like it's two o'clock in the morning you're coming to Brooklyn

01:03:06
