00:00:15.288 --> 00:00:19.608
I'm Don Finnelli. This is Mutterfly. We got three pairs of improvisers.
00:00:19.608 --> 00:00:23.748
They're all improvising a short scene with the exact same two lines that I am
00:00:23.748 --> 00:00:27.526
messaging them right before we start recording. There's no pre-planning.
00:00:27.851 --> 00:00:31.102
They don't know each other's lines. They're hearing them for the first time
00:00:31.218 --> 00:00:32.524
when you're hearing them.
00:00:33.388 --> 00:00:39.518
So after approximately one week of living in my new home, I am currently down
00:00:39.518 --> 00:00:43.769
the Jersey Shore. That's right. Right now, I am down the Jersey Shore.
00:00:44.668 --> 00:00:51.338
I pre-recorded this episode last week, uh, in between trying to put up blinds
00:00:51.338 --> 00:00:57.021
and learning what a GFCI outlet is and why my kitchen isn't up to code.
00:00:57.451 --> 00:01:01.698
But, uh, here we are, we're doing it. And, uh, we only have a few more weeks
00:01:01.698 --> 00:01:05.758
left, uh, until our season one finale. So please give the podcast a nice rating
00:01:05.758 --> 00:01:11.929
or a review, uh, to stuff my best friend, the algorithm with them positive vibes, baby.
00:01:12.161 --> 00:01:15.528
All right, let's get to it. We got a little alumni episode today.
00:01:15.988 --> 00:01:19.288
All our folks have graced your ears before, and we're starting off with two
00:01:19.288 --> 00:01:23.311
dudes. You heard them in episode 21. It's Tao Yang and Jake Cornell,
00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:25.563
two of my past students, if you can believe it.
00:01:25.795 --> 00:01:29.458
Tao was in some experimental, insane performance class that I ran.
00:01:29.679 --> 00:01:32.686
Jake was in my first 401 I ever taught at UCB.
00:01:33.568 --> 00:01:37.198
Tao's rocking out shows at UCB LA currently, but of course you can see him on
00:01:37.198 --> 00:01:40.331
Dropout TV. He's written for shows like Game Changer, Breaking News,
00:01:40.645 --> 00:01:44.250
and Nobody Asked. And you can catch him on the new season of Smarty Pants.
00:01:44.493 --> 00:01:49.695
Jake, it was in the UCBC for a long time in New York. He pivoted to stand up
00:01:50.008 --> 00:01:54.658
and he's just been killing it. He's like has 200,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok.
00:01:54.948 --> 00:01:58.431
Puts out amazingly funny videos. I love them.
00:01:59.188 --> 00:02:02.698
And he's currently touring all over the place this summer. But hey,
00:02:02.698 --> 00:02:05.339

And now you are almost. Yeah, go ahead.
00:09:37.937 --> 00:09:41.193
It's not. I want to be honest with you because I didn't use any of my part of
00:09:41.193 --> 00:09:44.533
energy. But once Sorkin, like he pulled me aside, he was like coked out of his
00:09:44.533 --> 00:09:47.312
mind and he was like, I'm gay and I don't know what to do about it.
00:09:47.643 --> 00:09:51.563
and then it was like i was up until six in the morning like trying to coach
00:09:51.563 --> 00:09:53.953
sorkin to come out of the closet and like that's where my energy like it was
00:09:53.953 --> 00:09:57.223
like like what am i gonna do be like no shut the fuck up go write social network
00:09:57.223 --> 00:10:00.252
three it's like no you have to like i'm like i have to support him
00:10:00.635 --> 00:10:03.813
in that moment but it's like he's talking and talking and it's like when you're
00:10:03.853 --> 00:10:05.613
talking to someone about being in the closet it's just like
00:10:05.933 --> 00:10:09.763
all you can be is like come out and he's like he's like west wing west wing
00:10:09.763 --> 00:10:13.333
west wing legacy and i'm like you can come out they'll love gay guys love west
00:10:13.333 --> 00:10:16.893

00:10:39.583 --> 00:10:43.544
I don't want to even talk about my own problem because i want to hear about sorkin in the closet

00:11:06.977 --> 00:11:11.476
Don't step boundaries today. You know what I mean? No boundaries today, baby.
00:11:11.476 --> 00:11:12.396
Okay. We'll do it tomorrow.
00:11:12.396 --> 00:11:15.036
This is boundaries. We'll do it tomorrow. Because I was up to like,
00:11:15.036 --> 00:11:18.343
I think seven with the guy who did Crash.
00:11:20.078 --> 00:11:22.106
And none of us remember his name.
00:11:22.106 --> 00:11:27.966
I'm trying. I don't think it's Josh Wheaton, but I don't that's not him,
00:11:27.966 --> 00:11:31.176
right? I don't think that's him. He was making Duffy an angel back then.
00:11:32.756 --> 00:11:33.366
Should we do it off the
00:11:35.216 --> 00:11:38.997
Should we do it off the head? Maybe the Oscar head.
00:11:39.386 --> 00:11:41.690
We could do it off the Emmy wing. That feels flat.
00:11:42.846 --> 00:11:45.899
That's good. Because the Oscar head was up my ass and is round.
00:11:46.776 --> 00:11:48.196
That's right. That's right.
00:11:52.636 --> 00:11:56.136
Thanks, Teo. Thanks, Jake. Next up, you heard them back in episode 18.
00:11:56.136 --> 00:11:58.734
It's Greg Tucholescu and Hilary Ann Matthews.
00:11:59.053 --> 00:12:02.806
Tucholescu, he rocked it out with one of my favorite improv teams of all time,
00:12:02.806 --> 00:12:04.526
a Heraldine called Fwand.
00:12:04.526 --> 00:12:08.976
He was also a writer and executive producer of Adam Ruins Everything.
00:12:08.976 --> 00:12:12.526
He was the showrunner for Drunk History. You might have seen him acting in House
00:12:12.526 --> 00:12:16.814
of Lies, Playing House, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Kroll Show, Key and Peele,
00:12:17.064 --> 00:12:19.363
movies like Bridesmaids, and I love you, man.
00:12:19.601 --> 00:12:22.736
Hilary Ann Matthews, she's an actress and improviser based in Los Angeles.
00:12:22.736 --> 00:12:27.298
She's rocking it out with Queen George and Sentimental Lady at the UCB Theater in LA.
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.766
And maybe you've seen Hilary in Ghosts or Abbott Elementary.
00:12:30.766 --> 00:12:33.968
She was a recurring character on Modern Family and Future Man.
00:12:34.119 --> 00:12:36.203
She was a regular on Alex Inc.
00:12:36.435 --> 00:12:40.866
So, hey, let's get to our second mutter with Greg Tuchulescu and Hilary Ann Matthews.
00:12:40.866 --> 00:12:41.776
Hilary Ann Matthews
00:12:44.968 --> 00:12:47.488
So glad we could meet up for a little birthday coffee.
00:12:49.597 --> 00:12:53.217
I'm 355 years old today.
00:12:54.877 --> 00:12:57.658
Oh, yeah, Grandma,
00:13:00.577 --> 00:13:03.917
that's pretty... There's no way you're 355.
00:13:06.797 --> 00:13:08.402
You're like a day over 70.
00:13:09.057 --> 00:13:12.222
Well, well, well, what if I was, though?
00:13:12.593 --> 00:13:14.474
What if I was, though?
00:13:16.726 --> 00:13:22.507
Wait grandma okay don't you know how i know you like to sometimes play tricks
00:13:22.507 --> 00:13:27.897
on me but you know how obsessed i am with immortality and you know that i
00:13:28.557 --> 00:13:34.397
love the highlander and i really yes are you are you really 355
00:13:35.497 --> 00:13:36.797
years old i mean not
00:13:36.797 --> 00:13:43.327
That i can consciously recall but It's an interesting perspective.
00:13:43.327 --> 00:13:44.997
Maybe you'll get it when you're older.
00:13:47.137 --> 00:13:54.917
The more I march into the great infinity, the more I feel myself reaching back
00:13:54.917 --> 00:13:56.942
just as far into the past.
00:13:58.527 --> 00:14:04.647
Wait, wait. But I do remember, though, you have casually made comments that
00:14:04.647 --> 00:14:10.218
I thought were just your senility about doing things like marching with Pankhurst.
00:14:11.582 --> 00:14:17.287
which is really not possible I thought you were 70 that's like 30,
00:14:17.287 --> 00:14:23.017
40 years before you were born and then you made an omitted comment about J.D.
00:14:23.017 --> 00:14:25.567
Rockefeller being your boyfriend oh
00:14:25.567 --> 00:14:29.497
That old scallywag that old son of a gun
00:14:30.971 --> 00:14:33.351
Alright but listen I just
00:14:36.387 --> 00:14:39.295
please tell me yes please tell me
00:14:41.130 --> 00:14:49.541
If you were 300 years old, it would be my dream to know that it's possible for me to live that long.
00:14:50.203 --> 00:14:50.693
Wow.
00:14:50.693 --> 00:14:58.288
And I, listen, I'm going to show you a photograph, okay? And this photograph was taken in 1878.
00:14:58.955 --> 00:14:59.310
Okay.
00:15:00.012 --> 00:15:05.086
And I'm pretty sure that's you.
00:15:05.858 --> 00:15:09.254
This is on, hold on. Well, let me zoom in a little bit.
00:15:09.712 --> 00:15:16.103
Oh, you're getting a little OKCupid notification. It says at the top, it says OKCupid.
00:15:16.173 --> 00:15:19.911
It says you have one match and one decline.
00:15:20.567 --> 00:15:23.433
Oh, my God. Wait. Okay, hold on. Wait. I just got to check this match really
00:15:23.433 --> 00:15:27.493
quick. Whoa. Oh, man. Hold on one sec.
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:29.913
Well, let me see the photo, though, when you're done.
00:15:30.253 --> 00:15:32.673
Hold on. I don't look at the photo first. I go right to the interests.
00:15:32.673 --> 00:15:35.051
Let me still look at her interests. History.
00:15:35.493 --> 00:15:39.313
I meant of me in the 1800s. You nincompoop.
00:15:39.313 --> 00:15:40.653
Sorry, sorry. Here you go.
00:15:40.891 --> 00:15:41.790
Oh, Nanny.
00:15:42.104 --> 00:15:45.743
Here's the photo. She's into history, Grandma. Oh, my God.
00:15:45.743 --> 00:15:46.983
Oh, that's nice.
00:15:46.983 --> 00:15:51.096
She's read some of the same. She reads some of the same fantasy fiction that I read.
00:15:51.369 --> 00:15:55.933
Oh. I'm going to say yes to this match. I'm going to say yes to this match, Grandma.
00:15:56.833 --> 00:16:03.510
Oh, okay. You know what? If she could say anything to you, what would it be? What would you?
00:16:04.097 --> 00:16:05.463
If she could say anything?
00:16:05.463 --> 00:16:08.062
Yes. What are you hoping to hear from her?
00:16:08.497 --> 00:16:12.833
Oh, my God. If she reads Edward Rutherford, forget it. I'm going to fall flat on the floor.
00:16:13.101 --> 00:16:17.483
He writes those history novels about a given city where he'll go through the
00:16:17.483 --> 00:16:21.042
generations in that city. You know, sort of the history and sociology of that city.
00:16:21.541 --> 00:16:23.573
That thing that I'm really into,
00:16:23.573 --> 00:16:26.371
Grandma. One second. I have to be on my phone for a second.
00:16:26.649 --> 00:16:28.653
What do you... Grandma, what are you doing?
00:16:29.749 --> 00:16:30.233
Send.
00:16:30.233 --> 00:16:30.923
Are you deleting?
00:16:30.923 --> 00:16:37.354
Oh, look. She has a message. No, she sent you a message. It says, I read J.D. Rutherford.
00:16:39.385 --> 00:16:44.842
Gotcha, you old son of a gun. It was me the whole time. Catfish.
00:16:46.746 --> 00:16:47.827
Catfish.
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.607
Oh, Grandma, that was...
00:16:53.455 --> 00:16:54.814
Birthday prank. Yeah.
00:16:57.227 --> 00:17:01.141
You get to do pranks on your birthday. No one can get mad at you.
00:17:02.287 --> 00:17:06.147
Okay, but... Wow, I really got my hopes up there.
00:17:06.927 --> 00:17:14.357
Yes. But isn't it nice to know that you have the capacity to get excited romantically,
00:17:14.357 --> 00:17:21.749
that at any moment, at any moment, you could be surprised and taken away on a beautiful love story?
00:17:22.387 --> 00:17:26.257
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I'm guessing this photo is doctored then.
00:17:26.257 --> 00:17:29.406
This photo of you, and is that Red Cloud?
00:17:30.038 --> 00:17:31.967
Yeah, that's me and old Red Cloud. Yeah.
00:17:31.967 --> 00:17:36.117
Okay, that has to be photoshopped. I mean, why would you be standing next to
00:17:36.117 --> 00:17:42.647
Red Cloud in 1878? I mean, that makes no sense. I feel stupid now.
00:17:42.838 --> 00:17:48.075
No, you simply got punked, that's all. You just got a little punked.
00:17:49.131 --> 00:17:53.297
You know what's weird, though? What? Is that I went to the New York Central
00:17:53.297 --> 00:17:58.237
Library and found that photo, which means you had to have gone there before
00:17:58.237 --> 00:18:00.281
me and placed that photo.
00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:02.719
I got your itinerary from your mother.
00:18:05.295 --> 00:18:11.515
Your trip itinerary. What? I'm 355 years old. Give me
a break.
00:18:12.502 --> 00:18:16.075
I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm so sorry to interrupt. I know this is going to sound
00:18:16.075 --> 00:18:21.610
crazy, but you're my grandfather, okay? I'm from the future.
00:18:22.155 --> 00:18:27.177
And yes, you have to go on a quest right now.
00:18:27.484 --> 00:18:30.253
There's something that happens on your grandmother's birthday.
00:18:30.451 --> 00:18:34.770
Oh, my gosh. You have to. There is a chalice that you must find.
00:18:35.118 --> 00:18:39.005
that you have to find this chalice. It'll give you everlasting life.
00:18:39.005 --> 00:18:40.406
I know it is similar to the plot of,
00:18:43.195 --> 00:18:46.484
Indiana Jones, but it is an act. That is it. That's the one.
00:18:46.809 --> 00:18:52.114
But it is actually true. It has nothing to do with Jesus. It has nothing to do with Jesus.
00:18:52.247 --> 00:18:55.556
It's an actual thing. And you're my grandfather, and you go on this journey,
00:18:55.736 --> 00:19:00.548
and you have everlasting life, enough so to have many, many kids just fucking with you.
00:19:03.435 --> 00:19:04.475
What's up, Doris? how you doing.
00:19:05.355 --> 00:19:10.985

This is almost as bad as when I found out my mom isn't my mom.
00:20:02.744 --> 00:20:06.444
Thanks, Greg. Thanks, Hillary. Last up, you heard them in episode 23.
00:20:06.444 --> 00:20:08.807
It's Sarah Classpel and Beth Appel.
00:20:09.086 --> 00:20:13.892
Sarah, longtime performer and teacher out of the UCB Theater, both in New York and L.A.
00:20:14.101 --> 00:20:18.356
We were on a Herald team together back in New York, a very short-lived team called Dybbuk.
00:20:18.652 --> 00:20:21.260
But she's a co-founder of the world's greatest improv school,
00:20:21.415 --> 00:20:23.964
Ouija, where she performs and teaches.
00:20:24.324 --> 00:20:27.470
You might have caught her on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,
00:20:27.766 --> 00:20:32.144
and Adam Ruins Everything. Beth Appel, longtime improviser out of UCB as well.
00:20:32.144 --> 00:20:35.243
We all got on Herald Night at the exact same time back in New York.
00:20:35.469 --> 00:20:37.965
Beth and Sarah were on a team called Monstro.
00:20:38.704 --> 00:20:43.144
Beth became the AD out in LA for a few years. And she's a writer and actress,
00:20:43.144 --> 00:20:47.034
writing for shows like Never Have I Ever, The Secret Lives of College Girls,
00:20:47.034 --> 00:20:50.078
and the recently released Not Suitable for Work.
00:20:50.264 --> 00:20:54.064
So let's get to our final mutter with Sarah and Beth.
00:20:58.228 --> 00:21:05.107
So glad we could meet for a little birthday coffee. I'm 355 years old today.
00:21:06.757 --> 00:21:12.678
And it is my pleasure to buy you a little birthday coffee.
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:20.434
Well, when you're my age, listen, you can't necessarily drink coffee or anything. Oh.
00:21:20.735 --> 00:21:24.242
But I'm happy to sit here and watch you slurp that down.
00:21:25.310 --> 00:21:28.798
Oh. I got my bag attached, so I'm good. Oh.
00:21:29.564 --> 00:21:35.509
And the bag is for you to drink? Or is it for in or for out?
00:21:36.032 --> 00:21:37.779
It's kind of like a cloaca.
00:21:38.679 --> 00:21:42.532
Okay. You know about cloacas? A bird's vagina?
00:21:43.199 --> 00:21:50.374
Or is it also other things? It's the one hole, one hole to- Where it all happens.
00:21:50.641 --> 00:21:54.734
What's that expression? One king to rule them all? Or what is it?
00:21:54.734 --> 00:21:55.965
One ring to rule them all.
00:21:56.162 --> 00:22:01.624
Yeah, one hole to eat, drink shit, sex.
00:22:02.362 --> 00:22:02.756
Huh.
00:22:03.250 --> 00:22:05.671
Anyway, my bag is my cloaca.
00:22:08.312 --> 00:22:13.524
you enjoy your coffee oh thanks for taking me out oh
00:22:14.184 --> 00:22:21.449
listen um it is uh we have been uh neighbors for 10 years and I always enjoy
00:22:21.768 --> 00:22:25.464
the um passing by and just our
00:22:25.464 --> 00:22:28.669
little hellos and when I when you mentioned that it was your birthday um
00:22:29.703 --> 00:22:34.759
I knew I had to take you out um a little hello I I had no idea.
00:22:35.491 --> 00:22:40.104
I mean, you look great for your age. Thank you. Thank you. You know,
00:22:40.924 --> 00:22:45.811
it's, um, you remind me of someone I knew in 1804.
00:22:47.184 --> 00:22:47.224
Oh.
00:22:47.790 --> 00:22:54.002
Little girl who died of dysentery, as most little girls did at the time.
00:22:54.454 --> 00:23:02.088
Okay. But just a beautiful girl, glassy skin like yours. Thank you.
00:23:03.144 --> 00:23:10.494
Um, so if you're 355, you've been, you were born, let's find out.
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:19.038
What year is it now? 2026? 2026. I was born in 1671.
00:23:20.878 --> 00:23:24.773
Wow. Yeah. In the old country, of course. Sure.
00:23:25.028 --> 00:23:30.758
And which is that old country? Is that Italy or England?
00:23:31.725 --> 00:23:39.249
Well, they didn't have borders back then. So it was sort of a cloaca of countries.
00:23:41.130 --> 00:23:42.767
Okay.
00:23:45.065 --> 00:23:48.425
You know what? I wasn't there. I wasn't there. I was going to say I could have
00:23:48.425 --> 00:23:50.824
sworn they had borders, but I wasn't there. So how am I to know?
00:23:51.428 --> 00:23:56.015
You weren't there. That's so fascinating. You know, you remind me of one of
00:23:56.015 --> 00:24:01.575
the rats that brought the plague to the old country. You knew them?
00:24:02.336 --> 00:24:08.251
Oh, I knew the rats. Of course. We all knew the rats. They made my dresses.
00:24:08.797 --> 00:24:19.043
I was sort of the Cinderella of the old country but instead of I thought that was made up Cinderella?
00:24:19.925 --> 00:24:24.895
yeah I mean I thought it was just a I had no idea that rats were trained to
00:24:24.895 --> 00:24:30.655
actually make dresses yeah that's non-fiction but a young person like you how
00:24:30.655 --> 00:24:31.941
old are you? when were you born?
00:24:32.765 --> 00:24:41.360
oh I was born in 1990 so that makes me 36. Yes. That's it.
00:24:42.405 --> 00:24:44.612
How's the coffee? Tell me what it's like to...
00:24:46.406 --> 00:24:52.410
to consume something from your mouth? Oh, it's great. It's, I got a little latte.
00:24:52.730 --> 00:24:56.292
It's a little vanilla. Do you want to, I mean, you have a mouth.
00:24:57.790 --> 00:24:58.521

00:25:31.917 --> 00:25:33.950

Say that. You have a...

You do have a mouth, which I imagine has taste. But if you wanted to take a
00:26:03.241 --> 00:26:09.481
sip of the latte, and then I guess if it can't go in your body,
00:26:09.481 --> 00:26:12.737
you could just spit it out onto the ground if you.
00:26:13.207 --> 00:26:18.954
