00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.010
Heyo, welcome in. I'm Don Finnelli. This is Mutterfly.
00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:21.090
We got three pairs of improvisers. They are all improvising a short scene,
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:25.310
and they're starting with the exact same two lines that I am secretly messaging
00:00:25.310 --> 00:00:27.370
them right before we start recording.
00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:30.830
They can't pre-plan anything. They don't know each other's lines.
00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:34.790
They're hearing them for the first time when you are hearing them.
00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:36.790
And today's a special episode.
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:40.930
Our episode today was submitted by Anthony Lucci. Thank you, Anthony.
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:45.030
He sent over the first two lines of the scene. He is playing God today.
00:00:45.370 --> 00:00:49.310
And you could do the same thing. If you got two fun lines that you want to see
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:51.210
our guests start with, you can send them over to me.
00:00:51.410 --> 00:00:56.650
I'll use them in a future episode. I'll give you a nice shout out like I just did for Anthony Lucci.
00:00:57.130 --> 00:01:01.110
You can DM me on Instagram at Mutterfly the pod.
00:01:01.310 --> 00:01:06.410
That's what Anthony did. Or you can email me the lines, Mutterfly the pod at gmail.com.
00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:11.130
Like some others have already. All right, let's get to it. They grew up on opposite ends of the country.
00:01:11.270 --> 00:01:14.990
They're coming together for you today. It's Carl Tart and Achilles Stamatolaki.
00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:20.170
I've known Achilles for like 15 years. I think he just got onto Herald Night
00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:21.450
when I started taking classes.
00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:24.130
He was a coach of mine for a while. Excellent teacher.
00:01:24.410 --> 00:01:26.570
I've toured with him. Just a great dude. Hilarious.
00:01:26.964 --> 00:01:32.844
Easy as hell to improvise with, a stalwart in the New York UCB community for like two decades now.
00:01:33.144 --> 00:01:36.564
He's an actor, writer, director, been in a ton of national commercials.
00:01:36.564 --> 00:01:40.724
He was a staff writer on Broad Cities, written and directed several scripted
00:01:40.724 --> 00:01:45.404
Audible original series like Christmas Delivery, Hit Job, Motivated.
00:01:45.544 --> 00:01:48.864
He co-wrote and co-produced Murder at the Patel Motel.
00:01:49.004 --> 00:01:52.764
That won five Signal Awards, an Ambie Award, an iHeartRadio Award.
00:01:52.784 --> 00:01:56.244
It was listed as one of the Audible's best audiobooks at 2025.
00:01:56.944 --> 00:02:00.264
Uh, Carl Tart, uh, one of the funniest humans alive.
00:02:00.484 --> 00:02:04.084
I think we can all agree. Uh, he was, uh, you know, been a staple in the LA
00:02:04.084 --> 00:02:05.684
UCB improv community forever.
00:02:05.924 --> 00:02:10.144
He's an actor writer currently writing on SNL. Uh, but he was a writer on mad

TV, Brooklyn nine, nine, Brockmire, Keenan ghosted list goes on.
00:02:14.304 --> 00:02:16.364
He was a series regular on grand crew.
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:20.344
He's been on miracle worker, his history of the world part two lent his voice
00:02:20.344 --> 00:02:23.584
to all sorts of animated projects, been on comedy, bang, bang a hundred times.
00:02:23.944 --> 00:02:30.484
So I say we get to it. Okay. It's a mutter one with Carl Tartt and Achilles Stamatulaki.
00:02:34.524 --> 00:02:36.424
Release me from this prison.
00:02:38.004 --> 00:02:42.424
I've been to 12 different summer camps.
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:48.240
Are you comparing that to prison? You're my lawyer.
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.420
Yes, I am comparing that to prison, actually.
00:02:54.420 --> 00:03:00.440
And, you know, summer camp, you're there for a certain amount of time, like you are in jail.
00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:04.660
There are activities in each camp.
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.880
There's a hierarchy of people. So it's basically the same thing.
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:16.040
And I've got to tell you, each summer camp I went to, I learned a lot.
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.540
I made a lot of friends. I grew as a person.
00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:28.940
And I wouldn't be who I am now, a successful lawyer, if I didn't live in the
00:03:28.940 --> 00:03:34.420
moment and enjoy myself in each summer camp. Okay?
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.760
Man, what the hell are you talking about? They're about to kill me.
00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:42.500
They're about to kill me. I don't know how I've offended so many gangs,
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.020
but I've offended a lot of gangs.
00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.980
I need you to get me out of here. I don't want to hear about no summer camp.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.820
Okay. Okay. I want to learn more about that.
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:58.520
I want to tell you that in each summer camp that I went to, I was constantly
00:03:58.520 --> 00:03:59.700
under threat of getting killed.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.280
I mean, you get on the wrong side of one bunk.
00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:08.700
You make fun of a certain popular kid. Uh, kid, people want to,
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.420
people want to go down and beat you up and kill you and take you by the lake
00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:14.600
and, you know, drown you. Okay.
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:22.900
So, okay. Tell me maybe, you know, uh, we can discuss ways to make your time
00:04:22.900 --> 00:04:24.500
in jail a little bit easier.
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:27.540
What are, who are, who are these people who are trying to kill you?
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.300
The Aryan nation and the Mexican mafia.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.340
That's, yeah, that's bad. That's bad.
00:04:32.780 --> 00:04:35.920
Yeah. And they don't want to take me down by the lake to drown me.
00:04:36.820 --> 00:04:40.460
they want to take me to a place where they can take my butt
00:04:42.242 --> 00:04:43.762
I got a battle ass.
00:04:44.442 --> 00:04:48.022
Right. That's jail slang. I understand that is jail slang. Okay.
00:04:48.702 --> 00:04:53.162
So yeah, Aryan Nation, Mexican Mafia. Those are two of the big ones. Okay.
00:04:53.342 --> 00:04:54.122
Those are the two biggest.
00:04:55.062 --> 00:04:55.522
Yes.
00:04:57.022 --> 00:04:58.902
I'm innocent. I didn't do anything.
00:05:01.398 --> 00:05:07.658
Okay, let's table that for a second, okay? You're innocent. We'll talk about that in a second.
00:05:09.878 --> 00:05:17.698
Aryan Brotherhood Mexican Mafia. Basically, the analogy is to my camp,
00:05:18.358 --> 00:05:29.578
Lori's friends, Lori was a popular girl at the camp, and then the counselors at Bunk B won.
00:05:29.578 --> 00:05:38.418
I mean, they were basically like Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia, let me tell you, okay?
00:05:38.638 --> 00:05:40.918
And they wanted to have my head, okay?
00:05:42.218 --> 00:05:47.178
And ultimately, you know, I did have my parents call the camp and,
00:05:47.178 --> 00:05:50.618
you know, get them in trouble. So I was able to get out of it.
00:05:50.698 --> 00:05:57.078
And I did switch to a different camp the following year to not get in trouble.
00:05:58.198 --> 00:06:01.878
um so yeah you said you're innocent you said you're innocent they
00:06:01.878 --> 00:06:05.998
Burned me with a hot clothes hanger i don't even know where they got a clothes
00:06:05.998 --> 00:06:07.518
hanger from we're not supposed to have those in here
00:06:07.518 --> 00:06:11.998
That's not allowed that's not allowed you can't have a you can't have a clothes
00:06:11.998 --> 00:06:17.218
hanger and have it be hot that doesn't make any sense that is let me you know
00:06:17.218 --> 00:06:21.138
what i'm gonna call the warden i'm gonna call the warden and i wanna i'm gonna
00:06:21.138 --> 00:06:26.298
ask him to go through every cell and make sure that no hangers,
00:06:26.718 --> 00:06:29.218
no organizers,
00:06:29.758 --> 00:06:35.758
anything you would put in a closet, I'm going to tell him, get that out of there.
00:06:36.498 --> 00:06:37.458
That shouldn't be allowed.
00:06:37.618 --> 00:06:41.178
No, get me out of here. That's what you need to be doing. I don't care about
00:06:41.178 --> 00:06:45.478
the clothes hangers, man. I got to get out of here. I didn't do what they said I did.
00:06:46.778 --> 00:06:51.118
Okay, so let me just go through my papers here. Okay.
00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:55.588
They said, okay, yeah, I'm seeing, I'm seeing here now.
00:06:55.868 --> 00:07:00.948
They call me the Target robber. I don't go to Target. I'm a Walmart guy.
00:07:01.388 --> 00:07:05.408
Right. They called you the, okay, so it sounds like there might be a little
00:07:05.408 --> 00:07:07.608
bit of mistaken identity here.
00:07:08.508 --> 00:07:10.428
Did you rob Walmarts?
00:07:10.668 --> 00:07:13.328
I ain't robbed nothing. I go into a Walmart and I shop.
00:07:13.808 --> 00:07:17.968
I spend money.
There are bank records. Please.
00:07:18.428 --> 00:07:19.828
Are you a Target Circle member?
00:07:20.748 --> 00:07:21.248
No.
00:07:21.248 --> 00:07:25.808
Oh, right, because you go to Walmart. Yes. Of course, you wouldn't be a Target Circle member.
00:07:26.268 --> 00:07:30.248
Okay, that complicates things. That does complicate things.
00:07:31.968 --> 00:07:36.288
Okay, so we have a few options here, okay? So, again, option one,
00:07:36.288 --> 00:07:39.928
I can talk to the warden about the hanger stuff.
00:07:40.568 --> 00:07:43.948
Option two, plea deal. So we have you.
00:07:44.848 --> 00:07:48.088
You plead guilty. You plead guilty.
00:07:49.588 --> 00:07:55.808
Okay? You plead guilty, and that's one of the options.
00:07:56.128 --> 00:07:56.508
What?
00:07:58.028 --> 00:07:59.148
You plead guilty.
00:08:01.741 --> 00:08:06.021
Or the coat hanger thing. And those are our options.
00:08:06.801 --> 00:08:10.141
And we can explore those two options.
00:08:11.241 --> 00:08:15.561
Where were you listed? How did we find you? Are you a public defender?
00:08:16.761 --> 00:08:17.841
Yes, I'm a...
00:08:17.841 --> 00:08:19.981
I had enough money to get a real lawyer.
00:08:21.741 --> 00:08:24.121
Oh, you do? How much money do you have?
00:08:24.421 --> 00:08:29.981
A lot. I had a job. I was doing well. This is bad what's going on to me.
00:08:31.341 --> 00:08:34.181
Right right well yes of course i'm a public
00:08:34.181 --> 00:08:37.341
defender and that's a very um important that's
00:08:37.341 --> 00:08:41.861
one of my very important jobs is to defend public um
00:08:41.861 --> 00:08:44.881
i also uh i'm currently driving
00:08:44.881 --> 00:08:49.201

garden that just opened um i'm one of the uh one of the bartenders there you know i
00:09:05.681 --> 00:09:08.221
Haven't been able to visit it because i'm in prison
00:09:12.255 --> 00:09:16.675
Thanks, Achilles. Thanks, Carl. Up next, two wonderful, hilarious humans.
00:09:16.855 --> 00:09:18.415
It's Craig Rowan and Catherine Muton.
00:09:18.795 --> 00:09:23.595
I've known Muton forever. I mean, we were in a Chris Gethard class to get multiple
00:09:23.595 --> 00:09:27.935
Chris Gethard classes. We're in this like insane experimental indie team called Dreadnought.
00:09:28.335 --> 00:09:32.795
We used to do two prof together a bunch, managed by Connor Ratliff,
00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:34.355
who you will hear later in this episode.
00:09:34.475 --> 00:09:36.975
It's a long story. It's Connor, though. He was like, I'm going to get you guys
00:09:36.975 --> 00:09:39.455
shows. You got something, you know, it's Connor in a nutshell.
00:09:39.875 --> 00:09:43.595
But fun fact, I was on a way to do one of those shows with Catherine and I saw
00:09:43.595 --> 00:09:45.835
Severed Head in the New York City subway.
00:09:46.255 --> 00:09:48.935
And I did a show 30 minutes after that.
00:09:49.055 --> 00:09:49.795
It was a pretty good show.
00:09:49.975 --> 00:09:54.095
I was quite dialed in. But back to Catherine. You maybe have seen her on Matlock
00:09:54.095 --> 00:10:00.655
or Dollface or Tales of the City on Netflix or in commercials around the country.
00:10:01.135 --> 00:10:05.175
Craig Rowan, a longtime UCB New York performer, improv, sketch.
00:10:05.175 --> 00:10:07.955
watch uh he's out here in la now but uh he was part
00:10:07.955 --> 00:10:11.255
of my pandemic chess playing crew with
00:10:11.255 --> 00:10:14.295
a past guest dan klein we were both on the long-running
00:10:14.295 --> 00:10:19.495
mod team gramps at ucb in new york although we only overlapped i think for a
00:10:19.495 --> 00:10:22.995
best of show but it was still fun to work with him nonetheless but he's written
00:10:22.995 --> 00:10:26.735
for shows like the big door prize search party the animated series close enough
00:10:26.735 --> 00:10:31.015
bless this mess wet hot american summer 10 years later night of too many stars
00:10:31.015 --> 00:10:32.995
Your pretty face is going to hell plenty more.
00:10:33.435 --> 00:10:37.235
And we have our first cut to mid-scene here.
00:10:37.695 --> 00:10:43.275
Craig pulls out a cut to. Haven't seen that yet. And my computer crashed during this scene.
00:10:43.315 --> 00:10:44.715
So I was
00:10:44.715 --> 00:10:47.595
Scrambling to come back on. I missed like five minutes of the scene.
00:10:47.735 --> 00:10:49.835
So I'm excited to hear it with you all.
00:10:50.315 --> 00:10:53.955
So it's Catherine Muton. It's Craig Rowan. And they got our second mutter.
00:10:57.815 --> 00:11:01.175
Release me from this prison
00:11:01.175 --> 00:11:08.215
I've been to 12 different summer camps.
00:11:10.167 --> 00:11:14.867
Did the others have exit routes?
00:11:15.907 --> 00:11:19.527
Or are you just at summer camp against your will? Because that is what this
00:11:19.527 --> 00:11:21.247
is starting to feel like.
00:11:21.787 --> 00:11:26.547
I don't want to do crafts. I don't want to be in a river. I don't want to be
00:11:26.547 --> 00:11:29.047
in a pond. I don't want to bake.
00:11:30.547 --> 00:11:36.307
I've been to 12 different summer camps with you. This is the one you're sticking with.
00:11:36.907 --> 00:11:44.287
And if you don't, I don't even know where to begin. If this doesn't work I've had it up to here.
00:11:45.327 --> 00:11:52.547
Father I've said it 11 other times These are beneath me You understand Developmentally,
00:11:52.647 --> 00:11:59.947
Spiritually They don't give refunds Because you have to say A week before That's
00:11:59.947 --> 00:12:05.867
when you're locked in I have paid for 12 different summer camps I am in I need
00:12:05.867 --> 00:12:11.007
these weeks I need these weeks I need to work. It is eight weeks
of the summer.
00:12:11.227 --> 00:12:13.827
You wanted to go to camp. You asked me to go to camp.
00:12:14.287 --> 00:12:16.487
Please, what is wrong with this one?
00:12:17.407 --> 00:12:22.087
I will accept the fact that I wanted to go to camp, Father, because I realize
00:12:22.087 --> 00:12:24.627
now it has been romanticized in literature.
00:12:24.807 --> 00:12:29.947
It has been romanticized by the media. It is not that case in reality.
00:12:30.407 --> 00:12:34.967
These are plebeians. Do you know what They talk about it in these bunk beds at night.
00:12:36.307 --> 00:12:42.267
Depravity, father, the depravity. Crushes this, kisses, kisses and crushes.
00:12:43.467 --> 00:12:48.307
You've been here at Camp Crystal Lake for three days.
00:12:48.627 --> 00:12:51.667
Give it a chance. This has a great pedigree.
00:12:52.187 --> 00:12:55.567
I've seen it in headlines. I have not read the full articles,
00:12:55.567 --> 00:13:02.587
but I have seen many news stories about this. and I know for a fact it is a well-known camp.
00:13:02.787 --> 00:13:05.327
End of story. You've got to stay here.
00:13:06.287 --> 00:13:11.147
Let me crack inside that mind of your father. What miraculous occurrence do
00:13:11.147 --> 00:13:12.747
you imagine happening on day four?
00:13:13.007 --> 00:13:13.447
Hmm?
00:13:15.875 --> 00:13:17.595
What could possibly transform?
00:13:18.555 --> 00:13:21.655
I urge you. I don't know if you know this. This might be a little history lesson,
00:13:21.655 --> 00:13:24.455
but there was a young, not young. This is a while ago.
00:13:24.595 --> 00:13:27.955
There was a comedy performer named Alan Sherman who wrote a little song called
00:13:27.955 --> 00:13:29.295
Hello Mudda, Hello Fada.
00:13:29.695 --> 00:13:33.615
Now, this song is about how he didn't want to go to camp. He's writing a letter
00:13:33.615 --> 00:13:36.575
home. He doesn't like camp, just like my daughter.
00:13:36.875 --> 00:13:39.415
But guess what the last line of the song is?
00:13:40.155 --> 00:13:45.015
Please disregard this letter because it stopped raining and he enjoyed it.
00:13:45.175 --> 00:13:45.495
Kids are playing.
00:13:45.875 --> 00:13:51.715
Yes, that's day four. That is day four, Suzanne. I urge you, stick with day four.
00:13:52.055 --> 00:13:55.995
Alan Sherman, if he taught me nothing else, it was to give it a chance.
00:13:59.149 --> 00:14:04.209
I shall stay through day four, Father, for the great Alan Sherman,
00:14:04.249 --> 00:14:06.229
if for none other reason than that.
00:14:06.369 --> 00:14:12.949
But I am very concerned that that song, that beloved song, is another over-romanticized
00:14:12.949 --> 00:14:17.949
media pillar romanticizing camp. Hello, mother.
00:14:18.589 --> 00:14:19.189
Yes.
00:14:19.229 --> 00:14:19.989
Hello, Father.
00:14:20.389 --> 00:14:20.969
Yes.
00:14:21.269 --> 00:14:26.549
Here I am at Crystal Lakes. He was at Camp Granada. I'd like to be at Camp Granada,
00:14:26.649 --> 00:14:28.189
but I'm
not. I'm at Crystal Lakes Camp.
00:14:28.189 --> 00:14:34.169
This is where you are. And listen, I read literature about this camp up until
00:14:34.169 --> 00:14:40.069
1953, and it was founded by somebody named, her last name was Voorhees.
00:14:40.189 --> 00:14:45.309
And I've seen some headlines about it, general headlines, which I'm a busy man.
00:14:45.569 --> 00:14:49.869
I work in the stock market. I spend a lot of time looking at numbers.
00:14:49.869 --> 00:14:54.489
I can't be bothered with reading too many words, but I know that it's newsworthy.
00:14:54.989 --> 00:14:59.749
And from those facts, I can say, by day four or five, if you stick with your
00:14:59.749 --> 00:15:03.629
co-ed counselors, you will have a good time and you will enjoy yourself.
00:15:03.889 --> 00:15:07.449
So I bid you adieu and I will be back on visiting day.
00:15:08.969 --> 00:15:16.789
Oh, Father. I shall grab my pen and paper just like Alan Sherman and I shall
00:15:16.789 --> 00:15:18.069
write of the day's events.
00:15:19.589 --> 00:15:21.149
I have to ask the Father.
00:15:21.909 --> 00:15:31.749
I'm in my car. Goodbye And we cut to Visiting I'm sorry you're the camp director.
00:15:33.313 --> 00:15:38.353
Yes. Hi. So nice to meet you. We love Suzanne.
00:15:38.613 --> 00:15:45.513
Go ahead. I got, yeah, I, I, I, you seem very chipper, but I did get a voicemail
00:15:45.513 --> 00:15:48.193
about some disturbing news.
00:15:48.313 --> 00:15:53.633
I didn't listen to the full voicemail, but it sounded like something bad happened at camp.
00:15:54.613 --> 00:15:59.313
Yeah. Well, apparently there's a famous song about camp where a bunch of the
00:15:59.313 --> 00:16:00.873
kids contracted poison ivy.
00:16:01.433 --> 00:16:06.353
And sweet Susanna, we have reason to believe that she actually went foraging in the forest.
00:16:06.533 --> 00:16:09.993
She told us she was going to go read Thoreau. It turns out that was only half true.
00:16:11.073 --> 00:16:14.693
And she did, in fact, gather baskets and baskets of poison ivy,
00:16:14.773 --> 00:16:18.213
which she stuffed inside the mattresses of all the other children.
00:16:18.393 --> 00:16:22.833
And so they have, in fact, ubiquitously contracted poison ivy.
00:16:23.293 --> 00:16:31.233
Oh, thank God. Thank the Lord. Now, I was worried that something truly awful
00:16:31.233 --> 00:16:34.093
had happened, and that is fine, and I am willing to pay whatever money it is
00:16:34.093 --> 00:16:37.733
to talk to all the parents and make it right. Now, where is my Susanna?
00:16:40.673 --> 00:16:46.313
Oh, she is in, well, we don't like to call it that, but you might think of it
00:16:46.313 --> 00:16:47.373
as solitary confinement.
00:16:48.133 --> 00:16:54.053
We call it mandatory alone time, but she is in a camp locked in solitary confinement.
00:16:54.873 --> 00:17:01.253
Okay, I'm fine with that as well. The reason I am a captain of industry is I
00:17:01.253 --> 00:17:03.673
also spent some time in solitary confinement.
00:17:03.673 --> 00:17:07.673
I was actually in the Vietnam War, and I was alongside John McCain.
00:17:07.673 --> 00:17:12.253
As you can see from my hands, we had a similar problem.
00:17:14.333 --> 00:17:15.773
But I'd be happy to.
00:17:15.773 --> 00:17:16.613
Talk to her. Thank you for calling it out.
00:17:17.253 --> 00:17:23.573
It's kind of a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, please. I know that you're really staring at them.
00:17:23.733 --> 00:17:26.033
So I'm totally comfortable talking about that.
00:17:26.975 --> 00:17:30.275
Wow. Well, thank you for your service, first of all.
00:17:30.375 --> 00:17:33.735
Please. It was truly nothing. Truly nothing.
00:17:37.535 --> 00:17:45.195
It's just part of my story. I don't like to think of myself as a hero, even though others do.
00:17:46.055 --> 00:17:51.255
Yes. No, we certainly do. We certainly do. There was also, as you know,
00:17:51.335 --> 00:17:54.415
the camp community here, it's a tight-knit group.
00:17:55.095 --> 00:18:00.555
And so I did receive some feedback from other camps, a majority of other camps,
00:18:00.675 --> 00:18:04.695
who said that Susanna has a kind of a track record of deviant behavior at some
00:18:04.695 --> 00:18:06.535
of these sleepaway camps.
00:18:06.815 --> 00:18:10.175
Yes, yes, yes, yes. We have had some problems with 11 other camps.
00:18:11.275 --> 00:18:16.315
Right. Okay. So the poison ivy seemed to relieve, you were relieved to hear
00:18:16.315 --> 00:18:17.695
that. Were there some other...
00:18:19.134 --> 00:18:25.274
Yes, there's a mistake I made. I thought, now, I heard only part of the voicemail.
00:18:25.414 --> 00:18:31.034
I had reason to believe that there was a mass, this is going to be graphic,
00:18:31.194 --> 00:18:36.074
but a mass murder on this camp because I had read some headlines that I had finished them.
00:18:36.234 --> 00:18:44.214
And I guess Camp Crystal Lake has been known for this psycho killer named Jason Voorhees.
00:18:44.414 --> 00:18:47.154
But I'm glad to find out that that is not the case.
00:18:47.154 --> 00:18:59.934
Oh oh oh oh yes yes yes famously jason forhees yes oh oh you know what this
00:18:59.934 --> 00:19:05.174
i'm new to cap culture i'm so new to cap culture it's quite no that was
00:19:05.174 --> 00:19:07.734
My that was my relief that was my relief.
00:19:08.754 --> 00:19:13.134
You know what? I was just, I worked in, I was a barista.
00:19:13.194 --> 00:19:18.974
I worked, I was a barista in, in Europe, actually. So I did, I know almost nothing.
00:19:18.974 --> 00:19:23.534
Can I ask you something about that? That's, can I ask you something? What is an affogato?
00:19:24.854 --> 00:19:30.214
A little bit of ice cream, a nice hot shot of espresso, and then you could put,
00:19:30.274 --> 00:19:34.374
you know, cinnamon or some, some crema on top if you want. It's delicious.
00:19:34.374 --> 00:19:38.894
Are people drinking this at night? Because I've seen people drink an avocado,
00:19:39.274 --> 00:19:43.514
but I think, how are you going to sleep after this? This is truly insane to me.
00:19:44.094 --> 00:19:46.714
These Europeans are insane. They'll have an espresso with dessert,
00:19:46.854 --> 00:19:51.154
but this is espresso and dessert. So you just say, you know what? Make it an avocado.
00:19:52.074 --> 00:19:55.694
Well, now you said you were a barista. I am this drive.
00:19:55.894 --> 00:19:58.934
It was a long drive up here. I know you're not on as a barista.
00:19:59.094 --> 00:20:03.874
You are working at the camp, but is it possible to get some sort of some sort of Java?
00:20:04.974 --> 00:20:09.454
Yes, absolutely. Actually, that was one of the fun projects that I took on when
00:20:09.454 --> 00:20:12.014
they signed me is I made a coffee bar.
00:20:12.174 --> 00:20:15.194
And then the students, the guests, we're supposed to call them guests,
00:20:15.534 --> 00:20:17.434
they can learn coffee culture.
00:20:17.574 --> 00:20:21.194
They can learn, you know, just the basics of, you know, breaking a 10,
00:20:21.594 --> 00:20:24.274
easy, simple, simple things like that. So, yeah. What would you like?
00:20:25.114 --> 00:20:30.174
I'll just have a, I guess I'll just have an espresso if that's doable.
00:20:30.794 --> 00:20:34.074
Oh, easy, easy. Here you go. We can walk right over here.
00:20:35.834 --> 00:20:40.874
What movie is the Jason boys? I get them all jumbled.
00:20:41.194 --> 00:20:41.614
Sure.
00:20:41.954 --> 00:20:44.374
We got Halloween. We got Freddy. Yeah.
00:20:44.574 --> 00:20:50.594
Yes, yes. It's Friday the 13th Part 1. It's Friday the 13th Part 2.
00:20:51.094 --> 00:20:55.114
It's Friday the 13th Part 3. It's Friday the 13th Part 4.
00:20:55.514 --> 00:20:59.814
It's Friday the 13th Part 5. It's Friday the 13th Part 6.
00:21:00.034 --> 00:21:05.074
It's Friday the 13th Part 7. It's Friday the 13th Part 8. It's Freddy vs.
00:21:05.294 --> 00:21:10.254
Jason And it's also the remakes Any remakes of Friday the 13th Which I believe
00:21:10.254 --> 00:21:16.054
there might be some But I could be wrong about that I've only seen four or five of these films I.
00:21:16.054 --> 00:21:22.334
Gotta carve out a few weekends I got a lot of Catching up to do Which one has
00:21:22.334 --> 00:21:25.714
a stunning young Jamie Lee Curtis? Is that Friday the 13th?
00:21:29.754 --> 00:21:35.574
That would be Halloween Part 1 And Halloween Part 2 Maybe Halloween part three?
00:21:35.874 --> 00:21:38.674
No, not Halloween part three. Halloween part four?
00:21:39.498 --> 00:21:42.938
And then the new, the last three new Halloween's.
00:21:46.738 --> 00:21:51.558
Thank you, Catherine. Thank you, Craig. And thank you to my computer for crashing during that.
00:21:51.678 --> 00:21:56.158
Last up, we have the delightful and hilarious, the master of characters,
00:21:56.298 --> 00:21:59.398
Michael Hartney, and the one and only Connor Ratliff.
00:21:59.958 --> 00:22:04.498
Hartney, of course, was the UCB New York AD for the last, I don't know, six or seven years.
00:22:04.658 --> 00:22:08.638
His run, unfortunately, coming to an end. But I said this on the Justin Tyler
00:22:08.638 --> 00:22:12.638
episode, Hartney and Justin, they started this group called Characters Welcome.
00:22:13.478 --> 00:22:17.158
Eventually, I think that became its own show. And then Betty teams were formed.
00:22:17.258 --> 00:22:19.858
These character teams were formed at UCBA. But it was first just this little
00:22:19.858 --> 00:22:23.178
collective. It was like a drop-in where people could just try out characters,
00:22:23.298 --> 00:22:26.958
get notes from everyone. And I will shout out Justin and Hartney again for,
00:22:26.978 --> 00:22:31.378
I think, giving me the notes that got me into the Just for Laughs festival.
00:22:31.638 --> 00:22:37.038
They gave me some fantastic notes on some characters. So a public thank you to both of them.
00:22:37.578 --> 00:22:42.318
But yeah, I think the group became a showcase and a regular show and turned
00:22:42.318 --> 00:22:43.898
into an actual showcase at UCB.
00:22:44.578 --> 00:22:47.998
I think these are Betty teams. Guys, I've been a little out of the loop,
00:22:48.178 --> 00:22:52.518
okay? But you might have seen Hartney on Natasha Rothwell's show,
00:22:52.618 --> 00:22:56.238
How to Die Alone, or The Politician on Netflix, or 30 Rock.
00:22:56.398 --> 00:22:59.638
He's lent his voice to all sorts of podcast series.
00:23:00.698 --> 00:23:06.358
Connor Ratliff, an ambitious madman known for his amazing live shows,
00:23:06.678 --> 00:23:11.958
The Acting Class currently, or the George Lucas talk show, a veteran UCB performer,
00:23:12.178 --> 00:23:16.538
still rocking out the Stepfathers in New York, where I had the pleasure of playing with him for many years.
00:23:16.538 --> 00:23:19.658
Uh, but he's been on the big screen, the small screen, most recently in the
00:23:19.658 --> 00:23:22.878
film run amok and, uh, the, the mean girls remake.
00:23:23.118 --> 00:23:26.198
Uh, but he's been on a ghost, Bob's burgers, the great North,
00:23:26.378 --> 00:23:29.838
marvelous, Miss Maisel, uh, search party, tons of others.
00:23:29.978 --> 00:23:33.778
And he's currently working on a widow's Bay on Apple TV.
00:23:34.158 --> 00:23:38.378
So, uh, I say we get to our final mutter with Connor and Michael.
00:23:42.541 --> 00:23:45.941
Oh, release me from this prison.
00:23:49.661 --> 00:23:51.921
I've been to 12 different summer camps.
00:23:52.941 --> 00:23:58.241
Please, please. Do you see, young man, young man?
00:23:58.601 --> 00:24:00.981
Do you see the keys over there?
00:24:01.721 --> 00:24:05.941
Why use keys when I can build you keys? I've learned how to do that.
00:24:06.461 --> 00:24:09.321
Oh, please, anything. Just get me out of here,
00:24:09.381 --> 00:24:11.421
Please. Have you heard of Boondoggle?
00:24:12.981 --> 00:24:16.121
Boondoggle? No, yes. What is that, an app? What is that?
00:24:16.881
--> 00:24:23.621
It might be an app, but I'm referring specifically to the colored kind of plastic
00:24:24.741 --> 00:24:27.801
string that you can sculpt things out of.
00:24:28.141 --> 00:24:33.521
Well, please, whatever you can do. What if you can fashion a key to let me out
00:24:33.521 --> 00:24:34.461
of here? How did you get down there?
00:24:34.461 --> 00:24:35.521
I kayaked here.
00:24:36.621 --> 00:24:37.681
You kayaked here?
00:24:37.781 --> 00:24:38.541
I learned how.
00:24:39.301 --> 00:24:40.741
Wow, what an impressive
00:24:40.741 --> 00:24:44.101
Missileur Jason is quite a rower.
00:24:46.801 --> 00:24:51.741
I think you are an impressive young man. I would love to see you fashion a key
00:24:51.741 --> 00:24:53.421
to release me from this prison.
00:24:53.561 --> 00:24:55.961
Thank you. This island is bleak.
00:24:56.701 --> 00:24:58.901
Yes, yes, it is bleak. I have been here.
00:24:58.921 --> 00:25:01.761
It's summer, but there's no leaves on any of the trees.
00:25:02.581 --> 00:25:06.081
Please, please, fashion a key. Get me out of here, please. I don't know how
00:25:06.081 --> 00:25:08.221
long I've been here, but I want to be released.
00:25:08.421 --> 00:25:11.481
And you've won. You've won. You've won. You've won the challenge,
00:25:11.601 --> 00:25:14.841
young man Yes, you found me, you found my prison Please let me out,
00:25:14.861 --> 00:25:22.481
I don't know how long Cumula da vista Oh my god Young man, either make me a key You have
00:25:22.481 --> 00:25:25.521
To repeat it Cumula da vista
00:25:25.521 --> 00:25:27.421
Cumula da vista, what does it mean?
00:25:28.361 --> 00:25:32.201
It's a song I learned At my eighth camp
00:25:34.722 --> 00:25:36.342
Young man, I take it you are a man of means.
00:25:36.602 --> 00:25:38.742
Cumulata, cumulata, cumulata, cumulata, yes.
00:25:39.642 --> 00:25:43.662
Listen, I have been prisoner on this island for what must be years now.
00:25:43.902 --> 00:25:48.102
Yeah, I see the hash marks on the dirt wall behind you.
00:25:48.202 --> 00:25:51.502
I was tricked into being here. I was a pawn in a billionaire's game.
00:25:51.502 --> 00:25:55.362
I thought I was here for an opportunity. It turned out to be a living nightmare.
00:25:55.842 --> 00:26:00.142
I want you to please either walk over to that desk where those keys are laying
00:26:00.142 --> 00:26:04.642
and take one of the keys and let me out, or fashion a key using your boondoggle method.
00:26:04.862 --> 00:26:07.262
I did not expect a desk to be here.
00:26:07.762 --> 00:26:11.982
No, no. Yes, every now and then it's rarely used, but every now and then there
00:26:11.982 --> 00:26:18.302
is someone here, an administrator who will sit behind the desk and will taunt me and I want to be free.
00:26:18.482 --> 00:26:22.102
Please, please, young man. You strike me as very resourceful.
00:26:22.162 --> 00:26:27.162
I bet if we use willpower, we can will your cell open.
00:26:28.867 --> 00:26:35.647
We lifted the heaviest
person a few nights ago. We shouldn't have been able to do it.
00:26:35.807 --> 00:26:40.127
That's great. Open the lock, please, to this cage. We don't have much time.
00:26:40.247 --> 00:26:42.527
We don't have much time. And you're winning. You're coming so close.
00:26:42.687 --> 00:26:45.887
You're coming so close to winning. And how impressed everyone will be.
00:26:46.467 --> 00:26:48.727
Please just either get the keys over there or fashion a key.
00:26:48.847 --> 00:26:50.607
But get me out of here. Willpower, I don't care what it is.
00:26:50.707 --> 00:26:55.727
Hey, little boy, what are you doing? What are you doing here, little boy?
00:26:56.247 --> 00:27:00.427
I was just exploring with my kayak.
00:27:00.867 --> 00:27:06.487
Oh, okay. All right, don't give him any keys, okay? Explore away, little boy. Yeah.
00:27:06.727 --> 00:27:07.147
Oh.
00:27:07.567 --> 00:27:12.707
No problem. Just don't touch the desk. Don't touch the desk.
00:27:13.087 --> 00:27:13.807
Well, I won't.
00:27:14.287 --> 00:27:18.527
Okay. We do a lot of stuff on there, a lot of admin work.
00:27:19.287 --> 00:27:19.767
Oh.
00:27:20.667 --> 00:27:24.007
Don't let him out. Collate? Yeah, we collate.
00:27:24.007 --> 00:27:31.887
We shuffle papers around I use my Well there's no phone But we take very secret
00:27:31.887 --> 00:27:36.907
documents And we collate them here And then we leave for long periods of time Okay
00:27:36.907 --> 00:27:41.147
So you're leaving now and you're going to be gone For a while
00:27:41.147 --> 00:27:46.127
I come back, I collate Let me just collate real quick Excuse me,
00:27:46.127 --> 00:27:52.527

00:27:53.087 --> 00:27:54.647
Good Good. Fine.
00:27:55.267 --> 00:27:55.767
Dumb-dumb.
00:27:56.607 --> 00:28:00.127
I'm stupid. I am stupid. You are stupid. I am a dummy.
00:28:00.387 --> 00:28:03.527
You're a stupid, stupid idiot. Bad everything. Okay, collate,
00:28:03.667 --> 00:28:10.127
collate, collate, collate, collate, collate, collate, and collate. Did you see me collate?
00:28:10.667 --> 00:28:11.587
Yes. Good job.
00:28:11.587 --> 00:28:12.647
You put my dad to shame.
00:28:13.167 --> 00:28:13.527
Yes.
00:28:13.867 --> 00:28:14.187
Oh.
00:28:15.227 --> 00:28:16.387
Is that good or bad?
00:28:17.187 --> 00:28:18.767
Good. You're very good at collating.
00:28:19.047 --> 00:28:22.407
Oh, thank you so much. Okay. Well, I'll be back in a month.
00:28:24.501 --> 00:28:25.061
Wow.
00:28:25.581 --> 00:28:27.781
We get to hang out for a whole month.
00:28:28.121 --> 00:28:29.281
No, no, no, no, no, please.
00:28:29.781 --> 00:28:32.901
Isn't that the takeaway from what just happened?
00:28:33.121 --> 00:28:33.921
Is that we hang out for a month?
00:28:33.921 --> 00:28:38.101
No, I believe he said get the keys from the desk. He said make sure to get the keys from the desk.
00:28:38.281 --> 00:28:40.861
Oh, I don't think I'm allowed to do that until he gets back.
00:28:41.161 --> 00:28:46.241
No, no, the game is he says something, and then you get those keys,
00:28:46.481 --> 00:28:48.041
open the lock. He said he'd be back in a month.
00:28:48.241 --> 00:28:52.861
Just let me out for a little bit. I'll be back. I'll put myself back in here before he returns.
00:28:53.421 --> 00:28:59.381
Please, please, young man, young man, please, I need you to open this cage and
00:28:59.381 --> 00:29:01.221
let me out. I need it more than anything.
00:29:01.441 --> 00:29:04.561
I need it more than anything, young man. It's the one thing I want.
00:29:04.641 --> 00:29:06.521
I'm making a wish. I'm pleading with you.
00:29:07.141 --> 00:29:10.581
Please either fashion a key or grab those keys. That feels like the easiest
00:29:10.581 --> 00:29:13.501
route to freedom is just grab those keys.
00:29:13.661 --> 00:29:17.341
They are within your arm's reach right now. You're lingering near the desk.
00:29:18.501 --> 00:29:22.301
So close to picking them up. So close to picking them up. Please just grab them.
00:29:22.301 --> 00:29:24.241
Don't just touch them. Don't just rub them.
00:29:24.581 --> 00:29:27.881
Pick them up. It's a good start. Touching them. Touching the keys because you've
00:29:27.881 --> 00:29:28.701
already broken his rule.
00:29:29.481 --> 00:29:33.521
Touching the keys. Now you've broken that rule. Now break a second rule. Pick up the keys.
00:29:34.121 --> 00:29:37.201
Jingle them. Jingle the keys. Can you jingle? Can you give me a jingle?
00:29:37.601 --> 00:29:41.401
Ah, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle. Very good. Now put the keys.
00:29:41.801 --> 00:29:44.981
There's only a limited number of keys in there. One of them opens his cage.
00:29:45.181 --> 00:29:46.641
Please come over here and open the cage.
00:29:46.801 --> 00:29:51.501
She was afraid to go home because of the man in the mask.
00:29:53.641 --> 00:29:57.021
She was afraid to go home because of the man in the mask. Is this a riddle?
00:29:57.461 --> 00:29:59.661
I solve the riddle and you will open this cage?
00:30:00.421 --> 00:30:02.361
Doesn't that seem like what maybe it is?
00:30:02.641 --> 00:30:09.161
I don't know. I don't know. She was afraid. She was afraid. She was afraid to go home.
00:30:09.161 --> 00:30:10.021
To go home.
00:30:10.141 --> 00:30:14.161
Because of the man in the mask. I don't get it. I don't get it.
00:30:14.381 --> 00:30:17.101
Solve it for me and open it. She's a softball player.
00:30:19.221 --> 00:30:20.541
She's on third base.
00:30:20.781 --> 00:30:24.541
That's very good. That's very good. That's good.
00:30:24.861 --> 00:30:30.561
I like that. You're smart. I couldn't figure it out. You are a clever little boy.
00:30:32.301 --> 00:30:35.501
Please do another riddle while you open the cage. I'd love to hear another one.
00:30:35.621 --> 00:30:37.541
I'm going to bury these keys real quick.
00:30:37.561 --> 00:30:40.781
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. If you want, bury them over close.
00:30:41.061
--> 00:30:45.161
Bury them close. Not far. Not over there. Don't bury them over there. It's a bad spot.
00:30:45.661 --> 00:30:49.881
I just want to see if my metal detector will pick them up from how deep I'm putting them.
00:30:49.881 --> 00:30:53.561
What's better is over by these bars. Metal bars. See if they can pick them up.
00:30:53.641 --> 00:30:55.401
I think it might get confused.
00:30:55.621 --> 00:30:57.941
It will keep just detecting the barns, right?
00:30:58.281 --> 00:30:59.901
It won't get confused. No, no, no, no.
00:31:00.581 --> 00:31:04.041
Wow, we tell each other riddles, and I think I just solved that one.
00:31:05.001 --> 00:31:08.441
You know, before you bury them, maybe try them out and make sure they work.
00:31:09.661 --> 00:31:13.841
There's no point. There's no point burying keys that don't work. There's no point.
00:31:14.421 --> 00:31:15.301
That's true. Okay.
00:31:16.041 --> 00:31:21.221
Okay, come try them out in the lock. Okay. Okay. All right.
00:31:22.441 --> 00:31:25.361
Okay, that one doesn't. That's not it. That's not it. That's not the one.
00:31:25.401 --> 00:31:27.841
Okay. I know that's not the one. Try it. The next one.
00:31:28.041 --> 00:31:29.201
There's 80 keys on here.
00:31:29.781 --> 00:31:30.801
You know what? We have a month.
