19
00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:08.510
Hi, my name is Andy Samberg, and I feel aces
20
00:01:08.609 --> 00:01:10.590
about being on Conan O'Brien's Friend.
21
00:01:13.109 --> 00:01:14.109
Oh, my God.
22
00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:14.750
I messed it up.
23
00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:17.239
You total slacker. It's your whole generation.
24
00:01:17.379 --> 00:01:17.620
Yeah.
25
00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:22.500
Look at you with your skateboarding when you were a kid. Berkeley, California. Yeah,
26
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:27.040
lay into me. Right? Dig me out. Fall is here.
27
00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:27.599
Hear the elk.
28
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:36.129
Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. I
29
00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:41.250
am joined by Sona Lovesessian, Matt Gourley, my whack pack.
30
00:01:41.329 --> 00:01:41.930
As it were.
31
00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:58.959
We should do the traffic in the morning and do
32
00:01:58.980 --> 00:01:59.840
a lot of sound effects.
33
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.870
We've done that a couple of times.
34
00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:05.969
Sorry. Oh, no. We can do it again. No. I
35
00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:09.669
just hate when I'm reminded that it's too much. Yeah.
36
00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:12.580
We've had too much life. That's a terrible thing to say.
37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.259
That's wrong.
38
00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.280
I take that back. I want much more.
39
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:16.300
No, you said it.
40
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.439
You said it.
41
00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:18.439
I noted it down.
42
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.000
Let's call it. I'm picturing Zeus on a cloud saying,
43
00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:24.729
you said it. I throw a thunderbolt at you now.
44
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:26.710
I think the Whack Pack is revisitable, though.
45
00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:31.289
Yeah. That's quite a word, revisitable. We just hit a landmark,
46
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:36.830
which is yesterday, Sona had a birthday party for her
47
00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:37.770
two children. Yeah.
48
00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:38.689
They're twins.
49
00:02:39.409 --> 00:02:42.349
And Mikey and Charlie. And this is always a moment
50
00:02:42.389 --> 00:02:47.349
for me because they were born immediately after our last
51
00:02:48.189 --> 00:02:51.039
late night show ever on TBS. We did it at
52
00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:56.250
the old... the theater, the Largo, the Largo theater. And, uh,
53
00:02:56.909 --> 00:03:01.389
I remember saying farewell on the last late night show leaving. Uh,
54
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:05.270
there's a little rap party, but it was this 28
55
00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:08.710
year run and then leaving. And I flew back East.
56
00:03:08.889 --> 00:03:11.710
And when I'm, I think I landed and I think
57
00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:16.250
the next day or something, you called me and said that, uh,
58
00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:18.090
I used to call them rub and tug when they
59
00:03:18.129 --> 00:03:22.270
were in utero and you said rub and tug have arrived. Yeah. And, um,
60
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.800
That is now four years.
61
00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:25.819
It's been four years.
62
00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:26.680
That's unbelievable.
63
00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:27.020
Yeah.
64
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.439
And we, you know, we have a lot of family.
65
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.840
We have a lot of people in our lives and
66
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.879
we have a birthday party for them every year.
67
00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:37.389
And they, the first thing Tack did.
68
00:03:37.389 --> 00:03:40.370
Is he found my husband. Your husband, Tack, yes.
69
00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:43.469
He found a clown and he has hired that clown
70
00:03:43.870 --> 00:03:45.750
every single year we've had a birthday.
71
00:03:45.789 --> 00:03:48.030
His name is Gilly the Clown and he's awesome.
72
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:48.530
Okay.
73
00:03:48.909 --> 00:03:51.370
What makes a good party clown? Seriously.
74
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.340
First of all, to get the attention of all these
75
00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:57.020
kids and then to hold the attention is hard.
76
00:03:57.340 --> 00:03:58.460
How many kids would you say?
77
00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:02.120
Oh, yesterday we invited their class, too. I would say
78
00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:04.699
there were like 30, 35 kids.
79
00:04:04.819 --> 00:04:06.900
And what is it that Gilly does that's so great?
80
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.159
And by the way, a shout out to Gilly the Clown.
81
00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:09.840
Yeah.
82
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.060
Where does he, what area does he cover?
83
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.139
He's a Los Angeles clown. I think his company is
84
00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:15.939
called the Los Angeles Clown Company.
85
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:24.839
And I think... Don't. Formerly William Morris Endeavor. Sorry, guys.
86
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.259
I had to do it. Oh, my God. I think... Sorry. Oh,
87
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:31.839
that made me happy.
88
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.639
I think Tack is, like, kind of living vicariously through
89
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:37.620
the boys, because I don't think they had clowns in
90
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.680
the Soviet Union.
91
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.079
Well, they did. They were just all in the Politburo. Listen,
92
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.959
that's a very funny joke. Is it? If it were 1986,
93
00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:51.399
that would kill... you know, around a bottle of vodka.
94
00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:53.699
In Minsk.
95
00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:58.350
So tell me, tell me about what Gilly does that's
96
00:04:58.370 --> 00:04:58.769
so great.
97
00:04:58.850 --> 00:05:01.589
So he comes, he does a whole thing that's actually
98
00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:04.329
funny for parents and funny for the kids. He does
99
00:05:04.370 --> 00:05:06.350
a whole magic thing. And then at the end, he
100
00:05:06.389 --> 00:05:09.870
made swords for all the kids with balloons. And then
101
00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:12.170
they went into the bounce house and just started fighting
102
00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:14.189
each other with these balloon swords.
103
00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:14.589
Right.
104
00:05:14.769 --> 00:05:17.490
And it's he comes in every year. It's always something
105
00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:18.290
a little different.
106
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.660
And I think we're going to just have Gilly until
107
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.459
like the boys are 18.
108
00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:24.480
I'm thinking about Tack when he was a kid in
109
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:26.480
the Soviet Union, having to wait in a really long
110
00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:29.699
line and his birthday just to get one second with
111
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.250
a clown. And it was a cut rate clown. The
112
00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:35.949
clown was just had a cardboard belt, some Soviet issued
113
00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:40.990
cardboard shoes. And the Klan would just bend a balloon
114
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:44.350
that he had to keep remending and then reinflating and
115
00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:45.110
it would pop.
116
00:05:45.189 --> 00:05:46.660
Former World War II sniper.
117
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.819
Yeah, exactly. He's bitter now. He's like, I defended Stalingrad
118
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.329
and I'm here with these fucking kids. frostbitten toes they're
119
00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:58.959
black oh man hey uh Ivan just uh you're here
120
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.519
for the kids next kid you didn't even do anything
121
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:08.449
we waited for six hours next kid oh shit oh
122
00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:11.250
is that what it was like oh Maybe.
123
00:06:12.089 --> 00:06:15.209
He takes a picture with Gilly every year. He loves Gilly.
124
00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:16.709
I want to see a picture of Gilly.
125
00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:18.329
It's the first. I'll show you.
126
00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:21.819
Yeah. And then we're going to post this. Gilly the clown.
127
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.240
He's from, what is it? The Los Angeles Clown Emporium. Oh, wow.
128
00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:28.180
Look at that. Oh, yeah. That's legit.
129
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.620
I was expecting something a little more DIY or something.
130
00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:31.930
Yeah.
131
00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:33.470
No, he's a clown.
132
00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:37.649
OK, we can see that. Yeah. This guy, Denver, has
133
00:06:37.670 --> 00:06:40.029
to say, hey, by the way, I'm a clown. Look
134
00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:41.949
at him. Just around about clownery.
135
00:06:42.009 --> 00:06:43.209
Go to the YouTube.
136
00:06:42.850 --> 00:06:46.310
Channel or at Team Coco podcasts on Instagram.
137
00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:48.769
Yeah. And check out Gilly the Clown. And it looks
138
00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:53.110
like he's throwing a club at the viewer. He can
139
00:06:53.149 --> 00:06:53.529
do it all.
140
00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:56.870
He can juggle. He does magic. He does like he
141
00:06:56.990 --> 00:06:59.069
it's very funny. He does balloon.
142
00:06:59.089 --> 00:07:02.589
Does he do political stuff? Like what? It would be
143
00:07:02.610 --> 00:07:05.699
really funny if he was like. Other clowns under him.
144
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:06.920
I think he does.
145
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.120
Like a second rate Gilly or something.
146
00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:09.779
I don't know.
147
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.740
We've only got me and Gilly.
148
00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:14.759
If I hired Gilly and I didn't get Gilly, I'd
149
00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:15.639
be pissed. Yeah.
150
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:16.620
You got to ask for Gilly.
151
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:17.810
I agree. I agree.
152
00:07:17.850 --> 00:07:18.629
No, he's the best.
153
00:07:18.769 --> 00:07:22.509
And we're probably. He does custom characters. Yeah. Gilly will
154
00:07:22.550 --> 00:07:25.600
create a special character just for your party. Hey, let's
155
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.199
hire Gillian and see if he'll do some political stuff. Yeah, Nixon.
156
00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:29.279
Yeah.
157
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.589
Yes, political stuff from the 70s. Oh, you'll never get
158
00:07:32.649 --> 00:07:36.529
those tapes. Cut to kids crying. We want the Soviet
159
00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:40.250
clown who defended Stalingrad. Even he's better than this piece
160
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:41.629
of shit. Not Ivan.
161
00:07:42.149 --> 00:07:43.329
Nobody wants Ivan.
162
00:07:43.370 --> 00:07:47.689
We'll have them both. It's detente. Do something about Spiro
163
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:59.310
Agnew resigning. Why did you visit China? Make it stop. Oh, man.
164
00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:02.430
No, but we love Gilly and we're probably going to
165
00:08:02.470 --> 00:08:04.750
just seriously, we're going to have him for as long
166
00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:04.990
as we have.
167
00:08:05.009 --> 00:08:07.100
I think we're getting Gilly the clown in here.
168
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:07.970
I'm in.
169
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.160
I think he'd be great. I would love to get now.
170
00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:12.120
First of all, so your kids had a good time.
171
00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:14.160
They had a really great time. They had a lot
172
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:14.439
of fun.
173
00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:16.779
We was good. Did they get any good presents?
174
00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:20.300
We haven't opened them yet. We're using them as.
175
00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:21.199
What's your problem?
176
00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:23.899
We're using them as like, you got to be good
177
00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:25.000
or else we're not going to open your presents.
178
00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:26.819
I'm sorry. I have never heard of that shit before.
179
00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:28.899
It's also six days past their birthday.
180
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.330
Well, they got their birthday presents yesterday and then they
181
00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:34.509
came home and they were all jacked up on like
182
00:08:34.610 --> 00:08:35.250
sugar and stuff.
183
00:08:35.269 --> 00:08:36.129
On rum and coke.
184
00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:37.809
We were like, you got to calm down.
185
00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:40.269
We're going to open your presents tomorrow. Okay. So wait
186
00:08:40.309 --> 00:08:44.340
a minute. Wait a minute. On your birthday... The thing
187
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.519
that makes it special is you get all these presents
188
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:48.159
and you open them up. You don't have to learn lessons.
189
00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:50.399
That's the fun of it. You don't say, okay, these
190
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.799
are your presents now. They're going into storage. They're going
191
00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:58.639
into a storage facility. You're off to boarding school.
192
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.750
We use anything we can to use as like a
193
00:09:02.929 --> 00:09:04.049
carrot for the boys.
194
00:09:04.169 --> 00:09:05.070
Like, be good.
195
00:09:05.149 --> 00:09:08.269
Don't fight. Don't wrestle. Don't throw that thing. If you
196
00:09:08.289 --> 00:09:13.070
want nutrition and food, you better be good. If you
197
00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:15.909
want to get a full night's sleep, you better be good.
198
00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:16.350
It's hard.
199
00:09:16.370 --> 00:09:18.519
We're just saying, like last night we came home and
200
00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:20.840
we're like, you guys have to sleep and behave or
201
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.899
else you don't get to open presents tomorrow.
202
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.070
And we mean it.
203
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:25.879
And it works?
204
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:26.320
Yeah.
205
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:26.960
No.
206
00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:30.419
It doesn't work. It doesn't even work a little bit.
207
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:30.899
Whoa. Yeah.
208
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:31.759
No, it doesn't work at all.
209
00:09:31.769 --> 00:09:34.529
It doesn't work at all. You don't get that antibiotic
210
00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:35.230
until you're good.
211
00:09:35.250 --> 00:09:37.850
Fever at 106.
212
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:48.259
Yeah. Better be good or no acilomycin for you. Jesus,
213
00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:52.460
I don't like this. Again, this is tax Soviet upbringing.
214
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.149
All joy must be withheld in order for you to
215
00:09:56.210 --> 00:09:59.389
be good. Fall into line. Big brother is watching.
216
00:09:59.570 --> 00:09:59.830
Right?
217
00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:02.529
I don't know. I don't know. Okay. I don't know.
218
00:10:03.509 --> 00:10:05.289
Sometimes it works, but it didn't work yesterday.
219
00:10:05.309 --> 00:10:06.379
Of course it doesn't work. No.
220
00:10:06.389 --> 00:10:08.659
It doesn't work. Happy birthday to the boys.
221
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.620
Hey, happy birthday to the boys. That's the important thing.
222
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.409
And Gilly the Clown, wherever you are. you're apparently very
223
00:10:14.450 --> 00:10:15.750
good at what you do. Yeah, he is. And I
224
00:10:16.029 --> 00:10:18.149
hope to meet him because he and I have something
225
00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:20.769
in common. We're both entertainers. And I was a clown
226
00:10:20.809 --> 00:10:23.580
at a birthday party once with my good friend who
227
00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:25.899
has since passed away, a guy that I did a
228
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.620
lot of improv with back in the olden times, Mike Castagnola.
229
00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:34.460
Someone saw us perform together at a Groundlings show and said,
230
00:10:34.870 --> 00:10:36.690
We want to hire you. And they hired us to
231
00:10:36.769 --> 00:10:37.830
play a birthday party.
232
00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:39.629
Maybe you could team up with Gillian.
233
00:10:39.710 --> 00:10:41.809
Oh, let me tell you what happened. What? We didn't
234
00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:43.639
know what it was. They said, we want to hire you.
235
00:10:43.649 --> 00:10:45.360
And we said, we're in. And then it turned out
236
00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:48.779
it was in the park, like in Santa Monica. And
237
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.240
it was a kid's birthday. And these were little kids.
238
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:56.080
And we showed up and we bombed. We brought our guitars.
239
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.879
What were you dressed like?
240
00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:57.220
We did.
241
00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:01.700
I don't remember us even we weren't dressed as clowns.
242
00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:05.340
Big mistake. Yeah, I know. That's the first mistake. Yeah.
243
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.639
But we I don't think we appreciated. Oh, these are
244
00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:09.580
little kids. I think we we thought, oh, we can
245
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.279
improvise our way out of anything. No, these were little kids.
246
00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:15.779
We didn't know what we were doing. Mike Castagnolo and
247
00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:18.330
I bombed. And if he were still with us on
248
00:11:18.350 --> 00:11:20.960
this earth, Mike would. would share the story of how
249
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:25.220
we got nothing and we walked away gutted. We walked
250
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:25.840
away gutted.
251
00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:27.539
This is your origin story.
252
00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:28.610
This is my origin story.
253
00:11:28.730 --> 00:11:31.129
Years later, you did a late night show with an
254
00:11:31.429 --> 00:11:33.830
all child children audience.
255
00:11:34.149 --> 00:11:36.029
Do you think that was to make up for this
256
00:11:36.269 --> 00:11:37.149
clown party?
257
00:11:37.230 --> 00:11:40.590
Possibly. It was another masochistic need to return to my
258
00:11:40.769 --> 00:11:45.289
old feral pain. But no. So I know how hard
259
00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:48.570
Gilly's job is. And so I'd like to meet the man.
260
00:11:48.769 --> 00:11:52.049
Yeah, he's awesome. He did not bomb. Crushed it.
261
00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:53.559
Okay, well, now you're just rubbing it in.
262
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.990
Yeah, he crushed it.
263
00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:58.500
Little kids, bigger kids. Good for Gilly. Crushed it.
264
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.919
I bet he'd be even better at podcasting.
265
00:12:01.299 --> 00:12:05.610
Oh, yeah! What if Gilly then gets a podcast and
266
00:12:05.769 --> 00:12:08.750
eats our lunch? And then he's on Sirius and his
267
00:12:08.830 --> 00:12:13.169
channel is the next channel over and destroys us.
268
00:12:13.210 --> 00:12:15.230
Just has a podcast called Gilly Doesn't Need a Friend
269
00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:17.169
because I have a ton of friends.
270
00:12:17.549 --> 00:12:21.580
Gilly is over to my Donahue. Just totally, no one's
271
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.259
heard of me again afterwards.
272
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:23.919
Just disappear.
273
00:12:24.909 --> 00:12:27.149
All right, my guest today was a cast member on
274
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:30.759
Saturday Night Live and starred in the hit series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
275
00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.259
Now you can see him in the new movie, The Roses,
276
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.899
and in the Comedy Central animated series, Dig Man. Very
277
00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:48.769
excited he's here today. Andy Samberg, welcome. You're a laid
278
00:12:48.809 --> 00:12:49.389
back dude.
279
00:12:49.750 --> 00:12:49.960
Oh, man.
280
00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:50.659
That's what I love about you.
281
00:12:50.669 --> 00:12:54.690
By the way, sorry I didn't shave, fellas. I'm preparing
282
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:58.049
for a role. Oh, yeah. Yeah. As lazy guy.
283
00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:01.580
As lazy guy.
284
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.320
And then after that, I'm doing beard dude.
285
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.340
So I walk in to the dressing room. We'll call
286
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.750
it the dressing room. It's not really a dressing room.
287
00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:11.870
I think that's a Ferris. It's just an office. But anyway,
288
00:13:11.889 --> 00:13:15.750
I walk in and you greet me and you're wearing
289
00:13:15.769 --> 00:13:18.389
like a nice shirt, a button up shirt. Yeah. But
290
00:13:18.429 --> 00:13:23.039
down below, you've got the sloppiest sweatpants I've seen in
291
00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:23.860
a long time.
292
00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:24.240
Wow.
293
00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:26.919
And you were like, I'm sorry. This is the harshest
294
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.139
I've ever been to anybody. But, and I said, hey man,
295
00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:32.740
come on. You got to dress up for, I think
296
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.120
you called him the Cone Meister.
297
00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:34.559
Yeah.
298
00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:36.220
And I said, you got to, you know, put a
299
00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:38.159
little effort in. He said, hey, they don't shoot from
300
00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:39.279
the waist down.
301
00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:41.320
I did say it, in that exact voice.
302
00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:45.620
Yeah. You went, hey, hey, man.
303
00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:46.299
Hey, man.
304
00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:47.830
And then you said, when's 420?
305
00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:48.889
I said, yeah.
306
00:13:49.750 --> 00:13:51.909
But you're obsessive compulsive about it. You're like, let me
307
00:13:51.950 --> 00:13:52.850
know when it's 419.
308
00:13:52.850 --> 00:13:55.490
Yeah, because I got to have my toke-age ready.
309
00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:55.950
Yeah.
310
00:13:57.990 --> 00:13:59.960
And then when I toke, I got to have Easy
311
00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.159
Rider playing. Yeah.
312
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:03.960
I love an obsessive compulsive 420 guy. Yeah.
313
00:14:06.769 --> 00:14:07.450
Gotta have everything.
314
00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:10.750
All my stuff has to be lined up. All my
315
00:14:10.830 --> 00:14:13.350
shit has to be lined up. And the right song
316
00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:15.409
has to be playing. Set the alarm for 418.
317
00:14:15.409 --> 00:14:17.340
Oh my God. I used to do a bit about
318
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.080
a Rasta who's like, you know, smoke deeper than marijuana.
319
00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.700
Smoke deeper.
320
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.909
None for me though. My wife's pregnant. She could go
321
00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:27.009
into labor at any moment.
322
00:14:27.269 --> 00:14:29.730
But everyone else, don't be gage!
323
00:14:29.789 --> 00:14:32.950
But obviously, I must refrain tonight. She could go into
324
00:14:32.990 --> 00:14:33.789
labor at any moment.
325
00:14:33.809 --> 00:14:34.549
I've got to be responsible.
326
00:14:34.610 --> 00:14:36.370
I've got to be totally focused if that happens. I've
327
00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:38.049
got to be with her. We're on this journey together.
328
00:14:38.070 --> 00:14:41.149
I was thinking about this today. This is totally random,
329
00:14:41.169 --> 00:14:44.519
which means I'm as comfortable with this chap as I
330
00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:47.620
am with anyone, this incredible Andy Samberg. I was thinking
331
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.980
about this this morning on a run. Yeah. Yeah. You
332
00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:51.500
got to get this, got to work out to get
333
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.879
this bod.
334
00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:53.250
I exercised this morning also, so.
335
00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:57.269
Well, not like me. Anywho, I hired nine guys to
336
00:14:57.309 --> 00:14:59.929
attack me with hammers. That's what I did. Yeah, throughout
337
00:14:59.950 --> 00:15:02.450
the day. And my doctor has said this is not
338
00:15:02.529 --> 00:15:03.710
contributing at all to your physical health.
339
00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:05.269
That's funny, I hired nine guys to attack you with
340
00:15:05.309 --> 00:15:05.750
hammers too.
341
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.360
That's funny, today, 18 guys attack me with hammers.
342
00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:09.879
Mine were for a different reason.
343
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.580
Oh, okay.
344
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:12.019
But guys, this is just hard math.
345
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:18.149
Yeah, yeah. I was running and it started to occur
346
00:15:18.190 --> 00:15:21.049
to me that the Roxy Music song, Let's Stick Together,
347
00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:25.919
is the craziest rock song ever because it's one of
348
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.980
the coolest, sexiest, Brian Ferry vocalists of all time.
349
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:30.740
Wow, that was quick.
350
00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:33.279
What the hell was that? What the fuck did you
351
00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:36.389
just do? What did you just do? Let's call out Eduardo. Eduardo,
352
00:15:36.409 --> 00:15:38.509
what's going on? Maybe someone else's 420 started.
353
00:15:38.590 --> 00:15:41.309
I was getting ready to cue up the song just
354
00:15:41.350 --> 00:15:43.750
in case somebody here hasn't heard it before.
355
00:15:44.250 --> 00:15:46.629
And I accidentally pressed play on the last song that I.
356
00:15:46.590 --> 00:15:47.250
Had going on.
357
00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:50.049
And it was Harry Belafonte. It was iQuebec. It was
358
00:15:50.070 --> 00:15:50.610
some jazz.
359
00:15:50.730 --> 00:15:52.370
Oh, nice. I like it when I come in here
360
00:15:52.389 --> 00:15:54.230
and you've got a little jazz club going. Always puts
361
00:15:54.269 --> 00:15:55.970
me in a bad mood right away. Didn't mean to
362
00:15:56.029 --> 00:15:58.929
interrupt your story. But I'm running and I'm thinking about.
363
00:15:59.309 --> 00:16:02.200
I liked it. It's rock and roll. And it reminded
364
00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.919
me of a bit I used to do for Odenkirk,
365
00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:08.669
which is it's a rock and roll song that is all.
366
00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:10.759
about being responsible.
367
00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:11.100
Yes.
368
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.679
And it cracks me up because it's, the song is
369
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.830
all by, you know, we've been, we should stick together.
370
00:16:17.850 --> 00:16:20.929
It will be good for the children. You know, for
371
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:25.110
tax reasons, it makes sense to expect too much excitement.
372
00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:28.809
This part of our life is overreaching. Let's stick together.
373
00:16:28.830 --> 00:16:31.450
And it's crazy to me. And it reminded me of
374
00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:33.129
this thing I used to do for Odenkirk, which was
375
00:16:33.889 --> 00:16:39.429
sort of a Robert Plant singer. And he's singing about,
376
00:16:39.509 --> 00:16:44.289
get eight hours of sleep.
377
00:16:44.549 --> 00:16:46.009
Don't cheat yourself with six.
378
00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:48.990
Get your protein in many forms.
379
00:16:49.570 --> 00:16:54.220
And all the songs have like sick, you know, leads
380
00:16:54.250 --> 00:16:56.659
and stuff like that. And it sounds very crunchy, but
381
00:16:56.700 --> 00:17:00.120
it's incredibly responsible. And I realized, oh, it's Brian Ferry
382
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:04.839
did that with Let's Stick Together. Hit it. You prick.
383
00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.180
Yeah.
384
00:17:10.349 --> 00:17:12.329
So you got this great thing going. Yeah. And then
385
00:17:12.369 --> 00:17:16.069
he's like, in the long run, it makes sense. I've
386
00:17:16.109 --> 00:17:18.250
talked to my accountant. You know what I mean?
387
00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:19.769
Yeah, yeah.
388
00:17:19.869 --> 00:17:20.170
Anyway.
389
00:17:20.190 --> 00:17:21.259
Tax breaks and whatnot.
390
00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:24.720
Yeah. Let's talk about you and then more about stuff
391
00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.839
I thought about on my run today.
392
00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:30.059
Okay. You run through the neighborhood? Do you go to
393
00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.539
a place?
394
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.019
No, I run through my neighborhood regularly. Often screaming.
395
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.880
I was going to say, I immediately imagined it like
396
00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:39.940
the beginning of the movie about your life where everyone's like,
397
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.079
how you doing, Conan?
398
00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:48.180
Hey, Conan! Hiya, pal! I do this when I see people,
399
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.380
when I'm driving around LA and I see people jogging,
400
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:54.140
I always pretend they're fleeing. It makes it much really fun.
401
00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:56.119
I do. I always imagine.
402
00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:56.839
What are they running from?
403
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.640
Yeah. I just imagine them running really hard and they've
404
00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:02.710
been running really hard for hours from like a monster. Yeah. Well,
405
00:18:02.849 --> 00:18:07.210
I don't want to talk about you because Andy Samberg.
406
00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:08.049
Oh, yeah.
407
00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:09.210
I've been thinking about you today.
408
00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:10.210
Is that on your run?
409
00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:10.650
No.
410
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.559
I think about important stuff on the run.
411
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.640
Oh, sorry.
412
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.700
I was thinking about you because I think you are.
413
00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:23.079
this comedic linchpin between one era and another in comedy
414
00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:29.240
that's crucial. I think you were doing YouTube internet comedy
415
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.339
before such a thing really existed.
416
00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:32.819
Sure.
417
00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:39.420
And I think you and your Lonely Island chums had,
418
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:40.619
and I'm gonna call, you're chums.
419
00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:42.440
We're unequivocally chums.
420
00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:48.960
No one's ever said chums with unequivocally chums. But you
421
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.740
guys were working on this thing and perfecting it. And
422
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.150
before there was the delivery system. Right. And then the
423
00:18:56.190 --> 00:18:59.509
delivery system, so, comes along. You said you, I think
424
00:18:59.529 --> 00:19:02.029
you formed Lonely Island in 2001? Yeah, 2000, 2001.
425
00:19:02.029 --> 00:19:06.240
We moved to LA from Berkeley where we grew up together. Okay.
426
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.779
Yeah. All grown up in Berkeley, laid back dude.
427
00:19:09.059 --> 00:19:13.430
Oh yeah. You were a skateboarder. Yeah, I was terrible though.
428
00:19:13.450 --> 00:19:14.930
They were both pretty good skaters though.
429
00:19:15.210 --> 00:19:19.029
You were a 90s kid who was obsessed with 70s music. Yes.
430
00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:21.259
Which is really interesting to me because I was a,
431
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.059
you know, 80s guy who was obsessed with 60s music.
432
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.059
Yes.
433
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.680
I went back 20 years, so I was not listening
434
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.359
to whenever people say, oh my God, so you graduate
435
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.750
high school in the early 80s and you head off
436
00:19:35.769 --> 00:19:37.490
to college, you must be listening to, and they come
437
00:19:37.529 --> 00:19:40.299
up with all these amazing... early REM and all that.
438
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.839
And I'm like, no, I wasn't listening to that. I
439
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.579
was listening to all British invasion stuff. And then I
440
00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:48.349
drifted before that and I went into Sun Session Elvis
441
00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:52.009
and all that. But you- we're out of time a
442
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:52.390
little bit.
443
00:19:52.670 --> 00:19:55.180
I mean, I think for kids that are into music,
444
00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:57.700
you go back, right? I mean, you know what's going
445
00:19:57.779 --> 00:20:00.180
on at present, but like now kids are listening to
446
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.650
the 90s. It's all 90s.
447
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:02.519
Yeah.
448
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.619
I've had a couple of depressing moments with this recently.
449
00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:07.039
Like I have Apple Music and there's a section in
450
00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:08.140
it called Dad Rock.
451
00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:09.200
Oh, yeah.
452
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:11.720
And it's like bands where I'm like, they just came out.
453
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.859
I know those guys. And then I'm like, oh, right.
454
00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:17.200
I'm in my 40s and a dad.
455
00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:25.769
Yeah. But it hurts. No, they're the fucking coolest. You
456
00:20:25.789 --> 00:20:26.789
got to check them out.
457
00:20:26.950 --> 00:20:27.309
Oh, man.
458
00:20:27.369 --> 00:20:29.109
What? Dad rockin' out this dad.
459
00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:39.869
In a world of buffering and bad signal, two star-crossed
460
00:20:39.910 --> 00:20:43.650
connections found each other. From 40 euros a month, Ireland's

488
00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:19.089
You, Yorma, Akiva, you guys know each other from Berkeley. Yeah.
489
00:22:19.329 --> 00:22:22.750
And you put together this thing. I'm going to say 2001.
490
00:22:22.730 --> 00:22:24.910
You say 2000, 2001. No, fuck you.
491
00:22:24.910 --> 00:22:26.910
2001.
492
00:22:27.210 --> 00:22:31.000
You guys put this, start working on this comedy. And
493
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.579
it's fascinating to me because I don't know when YouTube
494
00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.980
came along officially.
495
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:37.279
Mm-hmm.
496
00:22:38.089 --> 00:22:42.150
Um, but it's a huge event because I remembered immediately
497
00:22:42.170 --> 00:22:44.460
when the day someone came into my office, I think
498
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.559
it was Frank Smiley. He's a producer. Uh, he came
499
00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:49.220
into my office and I'm sure he produced all your
500
00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:51.420
segments on when you came on the show over the years,
501
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.250
but he came in and he said, it's insane. Whatever
502
00:22:55.289 --> 00:22:57.049
you want, just type it into this site. Yeah.
503
00:22:57.069 --> 00:22:57.170
Yeah.
504
00:22:57.529 --> 00:22:59.430
And so you would, you'd say, I don't know. I
505
00:22:59.430 --> 00:23:03.329
remember seeing a thing on Green Acres once where suddenly
506
00:23:03.390 --> 00:23:05.769
he's in Paris. It's like this, he's upside down and
507
00:23:05.789 --> 00:23:07.829
he's in Paris for no reason. And there it is.
508
00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:09.650
And it broke my brain.
509
00:23:09.769 --> 00:23:09.950
Yeah.
510
00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:15.359
But you were crafting this comedy that I believe kind
511
00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:19.960
of changed many things. And I'm not a scholar, so
512
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.440
I can't say you alone did this, but you guys
513
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:28.880
had a huge impact because- Lazy Sunday, Dick in a Box,
514
00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:32.640
I'm on a Boat. The stuff that you guys were
515
00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:36.640
churning out, I think, was the essential DNA of what
516
00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:39.920
everybody's been chasing. Does that feel to you fair? I mean,
517
00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:41.619
it feels great to hear. Yeah.
518
00:23:43.329 --> 00:23:45.829
I've always thought of it this way, which is, like,
519
00:23:46.130 --> 00:23:49.970
I heard of YouTube the morning after Lazy Sunday aired.
520
00:23:50.470 --> 00:23:53.069
I didn't know that it even existed yet. And then
521
00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:57.230
there was this big wave of, like, press. Also, it
522
00:23:57.250 --> 00:24:00.019
was the Christmas show, so it took it into the holidays.
523
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.059
Which is great because it marinates. Yes.
524
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.339
And everyone's like, we're all at home watching your video
525
00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:08.039
over the holidays over and over again. And there's no
526
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.259
new SNL episode to wipe it clean or whatever. Right, right, right.
527
00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:14.420
But it became this wave of press, not about us,
528
00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:17.599
but about the existence of YouTube and about streaming video
529
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.069
and how it was here. It's been this thing everyone
530
00:24:20.089 --> 00:24:22.349
had been talking about. Before, when we lived in LA,
531
00:24:22.369 --> 00:24:24.809
we were making videos. We were just trying to get
532
00:24:25.150 --> 00:24:28.490
people that had bandwidth and websites to upload our stuff.
533
00:24:28.670 --> 00:24:32.240
Be like, oh man, we might get like posted on heavy.com or,
534
00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:34.559
you know, like stuff like that. And you like have
535
00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:36.640
to submit it. You send like a VHS tape in
536
00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:39.619
and they're like, maybe we'll upload it. Uh, and then
537
00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:42.940
all of a sudden it was like, here's YouTube. Anyone
538
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.660
can do it immediately. It's easy. It's free. And here's
539
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.759
the video. That's like the crest of the wave.
540
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.589
Well, I think the first time I heard it's gone viral.
541
00:24:53.150 --> 00:24:53.369
Yeah.
542
00:24:53.430 --> 00:24:54.309
Was Lazy Sunday.
543
00:24:54.329 --> 00:24:54.849
Yeah.
544
00:24:54.950 --> 00:24:56.910
Me. I mean, I'm sure other people had heard the term,
545
00:24:56.930 --> 00:25:00.630
but people were telling me this thing's a monster. And
546
00:25:00.650 --> 00:25:05.069
I watched it and I was like, what? I don't
547
00:25:05.150 --> 00:25:09.150
get it. No. And I was like, I'm going to
548
00:25:09.190 --> 00:25:12.789
have him on what's called a podcast. I'm going to
549
00:25:12.829 --> 00:25:13.980
tell him I don't get it.
550
00:25:14.430 --> 00:25:15.039
Fair enough. Yeah.
551
00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:17.869
I could always see the future very well. Couldn't see
552
00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:21.920
the present. Couldn't see that that was really funny. I
553
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.759
say that to myself all the time when I watch
554
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:25.839
new things. I'm like, I don't like this, but eventually
555
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:32.079
I will. In time, I'll love it. Those videos were
556
00:25:32.099 --> 00:25:36.400
events and you made so many of them. And it
557
00:25:36.579 --> 00:25:39.839
felt to me as a person at that time, I
558
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:44.380
was doing my own show, but had written for SNL.
559
00:25:44.950 --> 00:25:47.069
And I remember what, when I was at SNL, always
560
00:25:47.109 --> 00:25:50.430
thinking short films are the way to go. And SNL
561
00:25:50.470 --> 00:25:53.450
had always done them a little bit, but I was
562
00:25:53.490 --> 00:25:59.359
always a little frustrated by live in some ways. And
563
00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:01.339
I thought, why don't we just get it? I mean,
564
00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:04.000
because all my heroes were, it's Monty Python. It's all
565
00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:08.059
this amazing sketch comedy that has been, it's SCTV where
566
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.880
they've got it just right. And there was part of
567
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:14.049
me that really wanted to do that and Yes, there
568
00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:17.250
had been short films on SNL, but when you guys
569
00:26:17.289 --> 00:26:20.069
started putting those out, it felt like you were doing
570
00:26:20.109 --> 00:26:22.950
the thing that I had been kind of daydreaming about
571
00:26:23.029 --> 00:26:26.329
in some weird way. Why doesn't someone do that? Oh, well,
572
00:26:26.349 --> 00:26:27.230
I'll go back to bed.
573
00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:33.240
I mean, it was also because digital video at that moment,
574
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.539
I just think about how lucky we were on so
575
00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:37.980
many fronts. Like it was right when YouTube was becoming
576
00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:39.480
a thing that people were talking about. It was right
577
00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:43.589
when digital video could be made Yep. Affordably and look good.
578
00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:43.680
Yep.
579
00:26:44.390 --> 00:26:47.730
It also like looks different from the live show. So
580
00:26:47.789 --> 00:26:50.150
it was a nice way to step out and be like, Hey,
581
00:26:50.190 --> 00:26:52.490
this is our thing that looks different and feels different.
582
00:26:52.529 --> 00:26:54.690
The same way, like the very first episode had an
583
00:26:54.730 --> 00:26:56.740
Albert Brooks film or something where you're like, Whoa, what
584
00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:58.579
was that? That was on film. Like in the beginning,
585
00:26:58.619 --> 00:27:01.680
we just, uh, Shoemaker and Higgins who, you know, Higgins
586
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.680
is still a producer there and now Shoemaker runs SES show. Uh,
587
00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:07.789
they knew we had made videos. Keevan Yorman made a video, uh,
588
00:27:08.329 --> 00:27:10.230
while we were working there just for fun. And they
589
00:27:10.250 --> 00:27:11.490
were like, if you guys could do more of these
590
00:27:12.170 --> 00:27:14.490
for basically nothing, which is what we had been doing
591
00:27:15.250 --> 00:27:17.950
and use the cast, like we're always looking for things
592
00:27:18.009 --> 00:27:21.210
to change over sets basically. Yeah. So it kind of
593
00:27:21.230 --> 00:27:24.329
happened very fortuitously and kind of under the radar. And
594
00:27:24.369 --> 00:27:26.970
we did, we did one with Forte called lettuce where
595
00:27:26.990 --> 00:27:29.650
we're eating heads of lettuce. And then we tried another
596
00:27:29.710 --> 00:27:31.359
one that didn't air till later. And then the third
597
00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:33.759
one we shot for SNL was lazy Sunday. And then
598
00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:37.240
it was like, Oh, that went better than we were expecting.
599
00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.680
Yeah.
600
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.089
Yeah. It's the Oppenheimer white flash.
601
00:27:42.150 --> 00:27:46.829
But I mean, I think that specific kind of comedy,
602
00:27:47.170 --> 00:27:49.309
to me anyway, starts with you guys.
603
00:27:49.970 --> 00:27:53.599
Well, certainly on SNL, I think the pace that we
604
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.859
kept in our editing and stuff, you can see that
605
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.339
now influencing the stuff being done, which makes me so
606
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.259
happy because I'm very antsy about my comedy. I want
607
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.670
it to just be like... Um, so, but we're all
608
00:28:06.789 --> 00:28:07.910
children of Monty Python.
609
00:28:08.150 --> 00:28:08.329
Yes.
610
00:28:08.369 --> 00:28:11.569
That's what you're saying. Like, and Mel Brooks, like when
611
00:28:11.609 --> 00:28:14.950
I was a kid, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, like those
612
00:28:14.970 --> 00:28:17.130
things turned into SpongeBob and they turned into us and
613
00:28:17.150 --> 00:28:19.910
they turned into, you know, Mr. Show and Stella and
614
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:23.140
all the things that influenced us of like, what if
615
00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:25.799
it was real life, but really it's just a cartoon
616
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:28.940
and anything can happen in the world is spongy. And
617
00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:31.140
that's what, when I was a kid made my brain
618
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.509
go crazy. Like Billy Madison, Tommy Boy, things like that,
619
00:28:33.529 --> 00:28:36.930
where you're just like, I can't feel happier about watching
620
00:28:36.990 --> 00:28:40.029
something because it just allows me to disappear into it.
621
00:28:40.470 --> 00:28:45.130
Right. And there's a, I mean, music also an important part. Yeah.
622
00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:48.180
I mean, huge music guy. And so yeah, obviously Dick
623
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.819
in the box.
624
00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:49.420
Yes.
625
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.900
Uh, there's a, there's a strong musical component to this stuff. Yes.
626
00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:55.839
And we also, again, got really lucky where it was
627
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:00.579
like Timberlake. I like, hottest thing in the game being like,
628
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.059
I want to do one with you guys. And us
629
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.779
being like, use all of your powers, Justin. And him
630
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.460
literally being like, all right, here's how we're going to
631
00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:09.980
do it. I'm going to stack all my vocals. These
632
00:29:10.029 --> 00:29:11.730
are all harmonies. These are split to the left. These
633
00:29:11.789 --> 00:29:12.750
are split to the right. And we were just like,
634
00:29:13.450 --> 00:29:16.390
oh my God, this is like how he's making the
635
00:29:16.430 --> 00:29:19.150
biggest songs in the world right now. And he's applying
636
00:29:19.190 --> 00:29:21.779
it to our song we're writing about sticking your dick
637
00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:24.359
in a box at Christmas. You know what I mean?
638
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:27.299
It's like you're in a room with Mozart. And he's like,
639
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:28.400
what do you gentlemen have?
640
00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:32.069
Yeah, yeah. All right, you ever see the movie Diner?
641
00:29:32.069 --> 00:29:35.720
He's like, I love it! Oh, so we'll do this!
642
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:37.420
A dick in the box.
643
00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.200
Yes, yes.
644
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:39.940
And I'm like, and I'm also here.
645
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:46.859
When you were in college, you did stand-up, I think,
646
00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:50.400
for seven years? Yeah. Which I didn't know. Yeah. And
647
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:54.700
I'm trying to imagine you doing stand-up because I was in,
648
00:29:55.470 --> 00:29:58.960
I never thought about doing stand-up. I always thought, no,
649
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.740
that's not me. I was wondering if you did, because
650
00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:04.720
I think you would destroy. Well, I later on went
651
00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:07.839
and did it in different ways. And of course, you
652
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.539
build that muscle doing a late night show every night
653
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.200
where you're standing in front of an audience. And yeah,
654
00:30:13.630 --> 00:30:15.430
the thing that got me into it was I wanted
655
00:30:15.470 --> 00:30:18.950
to do very silly things in a late night show.
656
00:30:19.390 --> 00:30:23.549
And I wanted to create an insane world.
657
00:30:25.130 --> 00:30:25.490
That was.
658
00:30:26.109 --> 00:30:27.950
sort of in the spirit of what Dave had done,
659
00:30:27.990 --> 00:30:30.849
but very different, which was cartoons. Very cartoony, like you
660
00:30:30.869 --> 00:30:33.019
were saying. And I've always thought of myself as I'm
661
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.359
a cartoon character. The hair, the name. I like to
662
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:40.900
be thrown around like a cartoon character. I like to
663
00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:45.130
throw people around like they're cartoon characters. So you can
664
00:30:45.170 --> 00:30:45.589
attest to that.
665
00:30:45.609 --> 00:30:46.670
Yeah, no, it's very true.
666
00:30:46.849 --> 00:30:48.809
Okay, that's enough out of you. Okay, happy to be here.
667
00:30:49.809 --> 00:30:51.490
You signed it. He signed a waiver.
668
00:30:51.730 --> 00:30:52.349
So many NDAs?
669
00:30:52.369 --> 00:30:57.779
Like terms and conditions. Yeah. Yeah, whatever. You own a timeshare. Oh, yay.
670
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.920
It's not a good one. You're way behind in fame. Shit. Yeah,
671
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.940
it's a lot of bad news here.
672
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.759
It's like a timeshare in Baltimore?
673
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:10.559
It's in Baltimore. Yeah. But it's built in kind of a.
674
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.319
Hey, no shade, no shade.
675
00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:16.529
We love Baltimore. Shout out to Baltimore. Hey, Baltimore.
676
00:31:16.690 --> 00:31:18.450
And you have to say they're 50 weeks out of
677
00:31:18.490 --> 00:31:18.730
the year.
678
00:31:18.970 --> 00:31:19.990
So behind.
679
00:31:20.190 --> 00:31:23.710
But it's also built as a Mediterranean bungalow. Wow. So
680
00:31:23.750 --> 00:31:24.910
it's very cold in the winter.
681
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:26.130
I have to go. But it's in the middle of
682
00:31:26.170 --> 00:31:26.559
the road.
683
00:31:26.630 --> 00:31:29.799
It was nice knowing you. Trump's coming through all the time.
684
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:31.140
Open the door again, wife.
685
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.579
Stop your son.
686
00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:43.230
It is a scam. So you find your people first,
687
00:31:43.410 --> 00:31:44.029
which you did.
688
00:31:44.049 --> 00:31:45.210
I think I did.
689
00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:49.490
I found my people. And then like a Robin Hood,
690
00:31:49.509 --> 00:31:51.470
I was like, okay, I got my gang together. Now
691
00:31:51.490 --> 00:31:55.019
we're going to head off. on this adventure. Then you
692
00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:57.960
find you're, you know, I'm going to go on my
693
00:31:58.019 --> 00:32:00.160
trip now with my gang and we're going to try
694
00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:02.970
and accomplish this goal. Yeah. Go through Sherwood Forest and
695
00:32:03.049 --> 00:32:06.230
do something. But you got to get the people first.
696
00:32:06.289 --> 00:32:08.509
And that was crucial. And I think that kind of
697
00:32:08.549 --> 00:32:11.890
has to happen in your early 20s a lot of times,
698
00:32:11.930 --> 00:32:12.490
if you're lucky.
699
00:32:12.670 --> 00:32:13.210
If you're lucky.
700
00:32:13.230 --> 00:32:17.160
Yeah. I mean, and before you have kids, because it gets...
701
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.519
Way more complicated, obviously. For kids that you're willing to
702
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:20.420
acknowledge legally.
703
00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:20.940
Yeah.
704
00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:23.259
Well, I had all kinds of kids in the 80s.
705
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.480
And like, what are they up to now? David is
706
00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:27.140
one of them.
707
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:27.880
I'm right here.
708
00:32:28.029 --> 00:32:28.569
Oh, shit.
709
00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:32.730
Yeah, he's... That's hella awkward. She contacted me and said,
710
00:32:32.769 --> 00:32:38.349
you do something with him. You hire him. Yeah. So
711
00:32:38.390 --> 00:32:40.599
he's been here and we... Fired Sona and put him
712
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:41.039
on mic.
713
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:43.720
But then after this, after I leave, you're going to
714
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.700
like hug him like two times and be like, I fucking.
715
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.079
Love you so much. You've been drinking?
716
00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:53.160
No!
717
00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:55.119
Maybe I've mentioned this, but it's one of my favorite
718
00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:58.759
things for the wrong reasons, but the Green Lantern movie
719
00:32:58.779 --> 00:33:03.279
that Ryan Reynolds made. Yeah. There's a moment where the
720
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.779
scientist who ends up being the bad guy in that
721
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:06.720
Green Lantern movie.
722
00:33:06.829 --> 00:33:07.369
Spoiler alert.
723
00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:13.230
Thank you. He has the ability to read minds and
724
00:33:13.269 --> 00:33:16.009
his father's a tough general. And the father comes over
725
00:33:16.029 --> 00:33:19.450
to him at one point and he praises Ryan Reynolds.
726
00:33:19.490 --> 00:33:21.289
You're a great guy. And then you can hear his
727
00:33:21.509 --> 00:33:24.809
voice thinking like, yeah, he's really great. And then whatever.
728
00:33:24.990 --> 00:33:27.089
And he says goodbye to him. And then he turns
729
00:33:27.150 --> 00:33:31.369
to his son and the son says, father, well, I've
730
00:33:31.390 --> 00:33:33.130
been working on these experiments. And he gives him a
731
00:33:33.150 --> 00:33:35.490
hug or shakes his hand and goes, good job, son.
732
00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:39.369
And then you hear him You hear some think, what
733
00:33:39.410 --> 00:33:41.970
a disappointment.
734
00:33:43.710 --> 00:33:46.109
It's literally like the Joe Montana sketch.
735
00:33:46.190 --> 00:33:47.369
Yeah, but it was for real.
736
00:33:47.390 --> 00:33:48.170
They all bother me.
737
00:33:48.250 --> 00:33:51.970
I'll be masturbating. It's not supposed to be a laugh line.
738
00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:54.470
I laughed. I laughed. I saw it in the theater.
739
00:33:56.230 --> 00:33:58.150
Some was coming on from the late night show and
740
00:33:58.170 --> 00:34:01.160
I saw it in the theater and the generalist hugs
741
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:07.000
son played by a famous actor. Anyway.
742
00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:07.420
Brad Pitt.
743
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:16.329
No. Ryan Reynolds. Clark Gable. The little tramp himself. Charlie Chaplin. Well,
744
00:34:16.510 --> 00:34:18.130
I was going to say no, but because you said
745
00:34:18.150 --> 00:34:22.719
the little tramp himself, Charlie Chaplin, it was Charlie Chaplin. Anyway,
746
00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:26.659
the idea that I would hug my son and go,
747
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.900
good to see you, son. What a disappointment. So I
748
00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:33.079
told my son this and I do it with him
749
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:35.579
all the time. I hug him and I go, I
750
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.880
love you. What a disappointment.
751
00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:39.840
Like it is here.
752
00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:45.219
Anywho, Edward, why don't you just miscue another track? I'm
753
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.659
fucking sorry. Shots fired. Yeah, left and right. What a disappointment.
754
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:51.929
Peter Skarsgård? No.
755
00:34:52.090 --> 00:34:52.409
Damn it.
756
00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:54.170
That's why I didn't say it.
757
00:34:56.170 --> 00:34:59.030
Anywho, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We'll edit this out.
758
00:34:59.210 --> 00:35:01.829
We'll be chopped together. You'll do a nice little... You
759
00:35:01.869 --> 00:35:02.710
know who it could have been?
760
00:35:02.889 --> 00:35:04.320
Blake Lively. She was in that.
761
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.699
That's right. That's where they got together and met. Something
762
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:08.039
like that.
763
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:09.360
I don't speak on things like that.
764
00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:12.460
Wow. You're principled.
765
00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.219
Oh, yeah, yeah.
766
00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:14.070
That's their private life.
767
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.070
Whoa, and I think you're a little gassy, too.
768
00:35:17.090 --> 00:35:24.590
You know when you zip your lip, but then immediately
769
00:35:24.610 --> 00:35:27.489
you got to fart? Yeah, because it's trapped.
770
00:35:28.070 --> 00:35:29.289
Nowhere to go but out.
771
00:35:29.309 --> 00:35:32.829
Yeah, that's a good character, the mime, who keeps zipping
772
00:35:32.849 --> 00:35:33.690
his lip. You're like, oh.
773
00:35:33.730 --> 00:35:43.480
Normally, I love mimes. You're on SNL, and... you worked
774
00:35:43.699 --> 00:35:49.340
very hard for seven years, I think. And it took
775
00:35:49.389 --> 00:35:52.429
a toll because the kind of work you were doing
776
00:35:52.570 --> 00:35:56.210
is very labor intensive. The shorts. The shorts were really
777
00:35:56.250 --> 00:35:59.690
labor intensive. And then I imagine there's all kinds of pressure.
778
00:36:00.130 --> 00:36:02.900
Give us another one of those. It becomes viral the
779
00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:05.000
next day. I mean, just be that.
780
00:36:05.099 --> 00:36:08.320
I mean, yes. For the first five years, we couldn't
781
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.760
believe our luck. You know, they're like, they're just asking
782
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:12.239
for him now. We have like a spot on the
783
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:16.980
show every week. But not coincidentally, after five seasons, Keeve
784
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.380
and Jorm both kind of left and were half working there,
785
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.800
half not. Keeve went and made a movie. Jorm went
786
00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:26.050
and made a movie. And it started getting a lot
787
00:36:26.250 --> 00:36:30.150
more difficult physically and creatively. And so by the end
788
00:36:30.170 --> 00:36:32.929
of the seventh season, I was like, I don't think
789
00:36:32.969 --> 00:36:34.579
I can do it anymore. basically.
790
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.079
So I went back for the 50th and I was
791
00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:40.300
in the audience and really enjoying the show. And then
792
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.510
I think the three of you did a short about
793
00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:47.110
anxiety at SNL.
794
00:36:47.170 --> 00:36:49.110
Yes. And I did it with Mike Diva too, who's
795
00:36:49.130 --> 00:36:49.750
a director there now.
796
00:36:49.929 --> 00:36:54.250
And it is about how many people talk about the
797
00:36:54.309 --> 00:36:58.409
anxiety of working on SNL. And it's funny because you're
798
00:36:58.429 --> 00:37:00.579
kind of taking a piss out of that old saw
799
00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:03.130
that You know, it's like going into battle, doing SNL,
800
00:37:03.150 --> 00:37:06.250
the anxiety involved. But also at the same time, you're
801
00:37:06.289 --> 00:37:09.710
honoring that it is true. And it was really funny.
802
00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:10.090
I loved it.
803
00:37:10.090 --> 00:37:10.230
Thanks.
804
00:37:10.309 --> 00:37:13.650
Thank you. Yeah, there's a whole section of it where
805
00:37:13.730 --> 00:37:17.429
I start singing, if these pipes could talk, because it's
806
00:37:17.449 --> 00:37:19.489
talking about how everyone who ever worked there gets IBS
807
00:37:19.530 --> 00:37:26.840
basically from stress. And, you know, that video that night,
808
00:37:27.409 --> 00:37:31.909
everyone that works there at some point went out of
809
00:37:31.929 --> 00:37:36.010
their way to be like, that was really, like... That
810
00:37:36.070 --> 00:37:39.079
nailed how it feels, basically, in a fun, hopefully, way.
811
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:44.239
Also, at a great moment, because the 50th, it came
812
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:46.940
out beautifully, I thought. But, of course, part of the
813
00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:50.079
process was a mad scramble, because things have to be...
814
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:51.900
I think there might be some part of Lauren that
815
00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:53.480
likes that. Of course.
816
00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:57.570
Also, it's stressful to be at the 50th, make no mistake. Like,
817
00:37:57.610 --> 00:37:59.679
you love it, you wouldn't miss it. But you're like,
818
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:02.429
it's fucking everyone who's ever worked here is all here.
819
00:38:02.590 --> 00:38:04.389
And like, who's going to say hi to me? Who's
820
00:38:04.429 --> 00:38:05.329
not going to say hi to me? Who do I
821
00:38:05.389 --> 00:38:07.469
say hi to? Am I going to be in the show?
822
00:38:07.650 --> 00:38:09.389
If I'm in the show too much, do I like
823
00:38:09.409 --> 00:38:10.909
what I'm doing? Am I pissed about that? If I'm
824
00:38:10.929 --> 00:38:12.429
not in the show, are they ignoring me? Like, there's
825
00:38:12.550 --> 00:38:14.750
no winning when you go back into that because it's
826
00:38:15.030 --> 00:38:19.550
such a vortex of everything that's ever happened there. So
827
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:21.840
I was kind of hoping it would sort of be
828
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:23.019
in the spirit of that also.
829
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.179
Yeah, I think you touched on something that anyone who's
830
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:30.670
worked there has felt. And it's... It's so strange because
831
00:38:31.409 --> 00:38:35.110
people that, so many people enjoy SNL, as they should,
832
00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:37.789
they should enjoy it without knowing what goes into the sausage.
833
00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:38.269
Of course.
834
00:38:38.289 --> 00:38:40.739
So they're not supposed to know. No one's supposed to
835
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:48.139
know that the level of anxiety that some people, some
836
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.059
people manage to do it and not feel that.
837
00:38:50.219 --> 00:38:51.219
Yeah.
838
00:38:52.019 --> 00:38:54.550
That's not how I'm built. I always felt, and I
839
00:38:54.590 --> 00:38:57.309
was a writer. I was not a performer, but just
840
00:38:57.369 --> 00:39:00.650
as a writer, I felt- Like there was a gun
841
00:39:00.670 --> 00:39:01.710
against my head all the time.
842
00:39:01.769 --> 00:39:02.849
It's designed that way.
843
00:39:02.869 --> 00:39:03.010
Yeah.
844
00:39:03.210 --> 00:39:07.420
It's a pressure cooker, but also like I personally went
845
00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:09.920
through that process and I still love it the same
846
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:11.719
as when I, before I worked there.
847
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.039
Yeah.
848
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.440
Because it gave me everything I had hoped it would
849
00:39:15.500 --> 00:39:17.309
ever give me and I loved doing it.
850
00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:17.699
Yeah.
851
00:39:17.820 --> 00:39:21.179
And so you have to recognize when it's time for
852
00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:24.130
you to leave because you can't physically do it anymore.
853
00:39:25.849 --> 00:39:28.369
And if you can do that, I think it's fine.
854
00:39:28.530 --> 00:39:31.880
I mean, every job is hard. Like you go to
855
00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:34.280
your doctor and they're all cheery hopefully, but like they
856
00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:36.639
went to med school for like 70 years or something.
857
00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:40.099
So like it's, it's a job and it's work and
858
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:42.059
you do that work and your job is to make
859
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:44.460
it seem like it's fun and just let the fun
860
00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:47.530
part filter through onto the show. Right?
861
00:39:47.730 --> 00:39:47.929
Yes.
862
00:39:48.630 --> 00:39:49.489
I disagree.
863
00:39:49.630 --> 00:39:52.769
No, I disagree. You disagree, but say more about that.
864
00:39:54.530 --> 00:39:56.170
I just think you're wrong. And you think I'm stupid
865
00:39:56.210 --> 00:39:59.710
and ugly? Stupid and ugly, yes. I hope that was implied.
866
00:39:59.809 --> 00:40:00.750
Yeah.
867
00:40:03.269 --> 00:40:05.590
It's interesting because when you went on to do the
868
00:40:05.699 --> 00:40:10.760
very funny, long-running Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you're working in this format
869
00:40:11.179 --> 00:40:14.000
that I think you and I are similar. You mentioned
870
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:15.960
it earlier. You kind of want to make something in
871
00:40:16.409 --> 00:40:18.389
have it be out there pretty soon. And if you're
872
00:40:18.409 --> 00:40:20.840
making a short film or if you're in a sketch
873
00:40:21.420 --> 00:40:25.280
or I've always loved the world of think of it
874
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:28.139
and then it happens pretty soon after you think of it. Yes.
875
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.980
And I struggle in the format of, I mean, I
876
00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:35.059
don't even know how people make movies. What little I've
877
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.059
seen of it, the idea that you would spend years
878
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.599
of your life and not know. You would drop a
879
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:44.110
nickel into a well and not hear it splash for
880
00:40:44.179 --> 00:40:46.829
seven years and then get a critique. And it splashes
881
00:40:46.849 --> 00:40:48.769
when you're busy doing six other things.
882
00:40:48.909 --> 00:40:49.150
Yes.
883
00:40:49.349 --> 00:40:52.210
That feels very strange to me. And even the rhythm
884
00:40:52.389 --> 00:40:57.929
of doing a Brooklyn Nine-Nine would be very different than...
885
00:40:58.429 --> 00:40:59.769
What you got? What you got, kid? What you got?
886
00:40:59.789 --> 00:41:00.190
What you got?
887
00:41:00.269 --> 00:41:02.769
Yes. We got to a point, I mean, in our
888
00:41:02.809 --> 00:41:05.690
first five or six seasons or something, we had like
889
00:41:05.789 --> 00:41:08.510
over 20 episodes a season. It's like that old school
890
00:41:09.170 --> 00:41:12.630
series order. So we would reach a point where they
891
00:41:12.650 --> 00:41:15.150
were being written and we were shooting them after the
892
00:41:15.369 --> 00:41:18.349
season had started airing. And when you get into that rhythm,
893
00:41:18.570 --> 00:41:22.360
it's a little more stressful, but you can be like, hey,
894
00:41:22.389 --> 00:41:26.440
if I think of this joke today, it'll be on
895
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:29.559
the air in like a month, two months, which for
896
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.619
a TV show is pretty good. The thing about making
897
00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:34.559
Brooklyn that I loved, I mean, there were a million
898
00:41:34.579 --> 00:41:36.769
things I loved about it. But to your point earlier
899
00:41:36.809 --> 00:41:40.349
about doing the digital shorts at SNL is controlling the edit.
900
00:41:40.570 --> 00:41:40.809
Yeah.
901
00:41:41.130 --> 00:41:43.210
And just being like, if a joke is a dud,
902
00:41:43.389 --> 00:41:47.530
it's gone. Like the freedom of that feeling of knowing
903
00:41:47.570 --> 00:41:49.590
we're not going to expose anyone in our cast. We're
904
00:41:49.650 --> 00:41:52.070
not going to embarrass ourselves and we're going to make
905
00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:53.969
it as tight as it needs to be or as
906
00:41:54.010 --> 00:41:55.570
slow as it needs to be for that thing. But
907
00:41:57.489 --> 00:41:59.460
something I was really proud of about Brooklyn Nine-Nine is
908
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.219
that it flies. It really just goes and goes and goes.
909
00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:06.579
And that's something I really love personally. Yeah, pacing.
910
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.659
And I think of all the great clips that I
911
00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:12.429
watch over and over and over again from some of
912
00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:16.250
my favorite comedy movies, whether it's the Marx Brothers or W.C.
913
00:42:16.289 --> 00:42:19.949
Fields or whether it's Peter Sellers' Clouseau.
914
00:42:19.969 --> 00:42:23.190
Dude, who's on first? I showed my daughter who's on
915
00:42:23.230 --> 00:42:24.710
first because I was like, you should know what this is.
916
00:42:25.429 --> 00:42:27.050
They are flying.
917
00:42:27.769 --> 00:42:31.489
Abbott and Costello's famous who's on first routine. And the
918
00:42:31.510 --> 00:42:34.070
other thing you realize about that, to be a total
919
00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:38.099
comedy nerd for a second, is what a great straight
920
00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:40.130
man means. You always think of Abbott and Costello. It's
921
00:42:40.170 --> 00:42:44.829
Costello who's the big, you know, clown. And you sometimes think,
922
00:42:45.070 --> 00:42:47.969
what's this straight man really doing? He's just saying, now
923
00:42:48.010 --> 00:42:48.489
wait a minute.
924
00:42:48.630 --> 00:42:49.309
Oh, it's the whole thing.
925
00:42:49.329 --> 00:42:51.280
But he's fantastic.
926
00:42:51.300 --> 00:42:51.739
Fantastic, yeah.
927
00:42:51.780 --> 00:42:54.179
His job is to keep the line tight.
928
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:54.599
Yep.
929
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.139
You know, so that the other person hanging on doesn't sag.
930
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:00.630
And he... What are you doing? What are you talking about?
931
00:43:00.650 --> 00:43:02.829
You know, it's just that it's so fast.
932
00:43:02.849 --> 00:43:05.110
The ball is just in the air. The whole time.
933
00:43:05.170 --> 00:43:07.289
It's incredible. And you know, you can tell they've done
934
00:43:07.329 --> 00:43:09.860
it a million times and that's, back then it was
935
00:43:09.889 --> 00:43:11.760
much more like you work your act across the country
936
00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:13.980
and then you put it on tape, you know, which
937
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.139
maybe we should be doing more of. It's pretty incredible
938
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:19.440
when you see those performances. It's just a whole different
939
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.440
skill set.
940
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.239
Yeah, it was a different era when people would have
941
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:25.099
an act for a lifetime.
942
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:25.739
Right, yeah.
943
00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:27.840
So you would have your act and you think about
944
00:43:28.429 --> 00:43:32.929
What's happened, because of technology, is you can work on
945
00:43:32.989 --> 00:43:36.090
an act for 25 years, and then they say, congratulations,
946
00:43:36.170 --> 00:43:42.170
you've got an HBO Max stand-up special. And you do it,
947
00:43:42.530 --> 00:43:45.000
and they go, great. You know, you were nominated for
948
00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:46.579
an Emmy, but you didn't get it. But anyway. Who
949
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.619
are you talking about? No, not me, not me. No,
950
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.579
I know. But no, what I'm saying is that it's
951
00:43:54.619 --> 00:43:57.159
a quick hit. The rush is over. It's a very
952
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:59.400
noisy world out there. And you just did something you've
953
00:43:59.420 --> 00:44:02.900
been thinking about for whatever, 15 years that you've tested
954
00:44:02.940 --> 00:44:05.079
and tested and tested. And now what else you got?
955
00:44:05.260 --> 00:44:07.980
Yeah, it's tonnage now. It really is. I mean, comedy
956
00:44:08.019 --> 00:44:10.039
has always been that a little bit. You're only as
957
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:11.159
funny as the last thing you did.
958
00:44:11.619 --> 00:44:14.360
What if we did have that principle on this podcast,
959
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.320
but it was about the last thing you just said?
960
00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:16.739
Right.
961
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:18.780
Well, the last thing I said was pretty serious.
962
00:44:18.969 --> 00:44:21.349
I know. That's what I'm saying. You're not funny right now.
963
00:44:21.449 --> 00:44:22.530
Ironically, not funny.
964
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.869
Yeah. So in this second, you're not funny. And so
965
00:44:25.909 --> 00:44:29.250
you're saying the last thing, right? Tomatoes. Now I'm funny.
966
00:44:29.849 --> 00:44:30.989
Now you're really funny.
967
00:44:31.030 --> 00:44:32.050
Yeah.
968
00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:34.300
I'm almost like scared by how funny you just got.
969
00:44:34.340 --> 00:44:35.920
Yeah. You're now still not funny.
970
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.420
And if I'm still speaking seriously, if I'm being serious
971
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:41.159
and it's not funny, trigger warning, I have to kill myself.
972
00:44:42.780 --> 00:44:44.440
That's the rule of your podcast.
973
00:44:44.460 --> 00:44:47.070
There's a little room we have in the back where, well,
974
00:44:48.550 --> 00:44:51.800
like a glass room. classroom so that we can watch
975
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:52.219
you do.
976
00:44:52.219 --> 00:44:54.619
It right and there's like a samurai sword in there
977
00:44:54.900 --> 00:44:59.559
no it's auto-erotic oh damn yeah now this I could
978
00:44:59.579 --> 00:45:06.440
get into.
979
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.769

00:46:10.050 --> 00:46:36.909
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Are you a happy
1001
00:46:36.969 --> 00:46:38.750
chap now? You seem like a very happy fellow.
1002
00:46:38.829 --> 00:46:39.429
I'm pretty happy.
1003
00:46:39.630 --> 00:46:40.769
Were you always pretty happy?
1004
00:46:40.949 --> 00:46:41.650
Always pretty happy.
1005
00:46:41.869 --> 00:46:42.710
Damn it. I know.
1006
00:46:43.289 --> 00:46:47.730
It's annoying. It's a struggle to work in comedy as
1007
00:46:47.769 --> 00:46:49.820
a happy chap, which I will now only refer to
1008
00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:50.449
myself as that.
1009
00:46:52.539 --> 00:46:54.159
You're a real happy chappy.
1010
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.780
I feel like your SNL generation was the last one
1011
00:46:57.820 --> 00:46:59.900
that was kind of like, it was still kind of
1012
00:47:00.099 --> 00:47:01.039
intense and gritty.
1013
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.579
Am I wrong? It's possible. I don't know.
1014
00:47:03.659 --> 00:47:07.219
The stories I hear, both funny firsthand from people and
1015
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.519
like on things like podcasts and stuff, documentaries, which I
1016
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.940
have watched all. It seems like it was a little
1017
00:47:13.980 --> 00:47:16.619
more like competitive and kind of grinding. Yeah, yeah.
1018
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.760
It was definitely that when I was there. And then
1019
00:47:18.860 --> 00:47:23.650
I have to credit Sandler for, I'll never forget, we were,
1020
00:47:23.670 --> 00:47:25.489
you know, I got to think of something. Is this
1021
00:47:25.510 --> 00:47:27.829
good enough? I had something last week, but I don't
1022
00:47:27.849 --> 00:47:31.329
know if I have anything this week. It's late. I
1023
00:47:31.409 --> 00:47:33.849
don't think I can write comedy anymore. I don't think
1024
00:47:34.230 --> 00:47:36.030
I have. I used to call my girlfriend at the
1025
00:47:36.070 --> 00:47:38.510
time and say, I think I can't do this. And
1026
00:47:38.530 --> 00:47:45.019
she'd be like, well, you know, quit then. That was fun. Anyway,
1027
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:48.179
I was dating the Tasmanian devil.
1028
00:47:48.219 --> 00:47:50.280
I was like, where'd you go, Cody?
1029
00:47:50.500 --> 00:47:54.679
Sorry, passed out for a second. You're a terrible lover.
1030
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:55.039
What?
1031
00:47:56.619 --> 00:47:58.210
Does he ever get erect? What?
1032
00:47:59.590 --> 00:47:59.869
Please.
1033
00:48:00.690 --> 00:48:05.489
Those are just made up quips. But I was in
1034
00:48:05.530 --> 00:48:08.070
that state of mind. And I think, you know, Smigel
1035
00:48:08.170 --> 00:48:12.610
and Odenkirk and Greg Daniels were like, it's life or death.
1036
00:48:12.750 --> 00:48:15.050
And it feels like that's kind of how everyone feels.
1037
00:48:15.130 --> 00:48:18.110
And this guy named Adam Sandler showed up one day
1038
00:48:18.170 --> 00:48:20.940
and he's like, and he kept talking about, let's go
1039
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:24.800
get a milkshake. Oh, milkshakes are good. And he'd be, oh,
1040
00:48:24.820 --> 00:48:28.480
I had strawberry. It was very good. And I just thought, what?
1041
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:29.840
And he'd be like, this is so much fun to
1042
00:48:29.860 --> 00:48:32.300
be at SNL. Oh, I love it, I love it,
1043
00:48:32.329 --> 00:48:35.489
I love it, I love it. Yippee! And he had that,
1044
00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:37.150
I'm going to do Opera Man. I'm going to do this,
1045
00:48:37.170 --> 00:48:39.710
I'm going to do that. This is great, guys. And
1046
00:48:39.730 --> 00:48:42.300
then I remember he came out with a movie. And
1047
00:48:42.340 --> 00:48:47.440
when the movie was premiering, he rented a big bus
1048
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:49.260
with all of his friends that made the movie.
1049
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:49.360
Yeah.
1050
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:52.659
And they drove around and they got milkshakes. And then
1051
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:55.340
they went to the premiere and people recognized Adam and
1052
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:57.980
he was really happy. And you're just, this is how it's,
1053
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:01.840
this is a possibility? You can like this? I mean, it's...
1054
00:49:02.219 --> 00:49:02.659
Why not?
1055
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:06.460
It's just your childhood, right? I guess so, yeah. I
1056
00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:08.900
think he's just came out that way. And by the way,
1057
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:11.739
obviously he's a huge inspiration to me. And when I
1058
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:15.059
saw him on SNL, it was him on SNL and
1059
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.030
Jim Carrey on In Living Color were the first times
1060
00:49:17.070 --> 00:49:19.059
when I was younger where I was like, Oh, maybe
1061
00:49:19.099 --> 00:49:19.969
I could do comedy.
1062
00:49:20.510 --> 00:49:20.820
Oh, yeah.
1063
00:49:20.860 --> 00:49:23.900
Not to take away from how incredible they both are. Like,
1064
00:49:23.980 --> 00:49:27.139
I'm not talented specifically how they are at all. But
1065
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.840
it felt so, like, for me, your show as well, frankly,
1066
00:49:30.860 --> 00:49:35.039
where I was like, oh, it's coming now that what
1067
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:38.199
I really specifically like is successful.
1068
00:49:38.219 --> 00:49:38.300
Yeah.
1069
00:49:38.710 --> 00:49:42.179
Yeah. And perhaps now there's a path for me. I
1070
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:44.119
think it is that one-to-one.
1071
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:48.820
I think sometimes real silliness used to be discounted somewhat.
1072
00:49:49.500 --> 00:49:52.590
But then I've always had that theory that, no, no,
1073
00:49:53.050 --> 00:49:57.130
I just love things that are incredibly silly. Yeah. I'll
1074
00:49:57.190 --> 00:50:00.309
use the word stupid sometimes. But then if it's really good,
1075
00:50:00.610 --> 00:50:03.809
it's because there's some little piece of intelligence in there
1076
00:50:03.889 --> 00:50:06.929
somewhere that I can't explain. I mean, or maybe not.
1077
00:50:07.030 --> 00:50:09.480
Imagine me explaining to my parents why like I'm under
1078
00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:12.059
the table guy is like genius.
1079
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:12.699
Right.
1080
00:50:12.980 --> 00:50:15.400
Because it is because he's fucking off the whole enterprise.
1081
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:15.860
Right.
1082
00:50:15.940 --> 00:50:19.760
Like it's he's he's continuing like Steve Martin and like
1083
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:22.349
and Monty Python we keep talking about. But like the
1084
00:50:22.389 --> 00:50:24.769
whole feeling of like I think certain people who love
1085
00:50:24.809 --> 00:50:26.530
comedy are born into this world and we were like.
1086
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.579
I have a question. None of it makes sense though, right?
1087
00:50:29.659 --> 00:50:33.059
Like it's all a weird cosmic joke cartoon, right? And
1088
00:50:33.099 --> 00:50:35.019
I'm not like alone in that, right? And then when
1089
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:37.920
you find other people that share that feeling and funnel
1090
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:41.679
it into laughing and enjoying themselves, it feels like a
1091
00:50:41.780 --> 00:50:44.829
gift from God. You're like, you made it to Hogwarts,
1092
00:50:45.150 --> 00:50:45.570
you know?
1093
00:50:46.150 --> 00:50:49.590
Yes, exactly how it feels. By the way, the most
1094
00:50:49.690 --> 00:50:52.369
irresponsible school to send your children to is Hogwarts.
1095
00:50:52.409 --> 00:50:54.659
Say more. Well- Thank you.
1096
00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:00.909
If only I had a mic and a podcast. Can
1097
00:51:00.929 --> 00:51:04.150
you imagine sending your kids to Hogwarts and they're killed
1098
00:51:04.849 --> 00:51:10.489
in a massive battle? That happens all the time.
1099
00:51:10.510 --> 00:51:12.769
I don't know if we should send them back next year.
1100
00:51:12.789 --> 00:51:17.329
Did you know that 11 kids died playing Quidditch this year?
1101
00:51:17.530 --> 00:51:22.449
People are constantly... imperiled and dying and and and i
1102
00:51:22.510 --> 00:51:25.619
think and the school has to publish these facts they
1103
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.260
do have to put it out there i'm just saying
1104
00:51:28.300 --> 00:51:29.420
i watch that all the time this.
1105
00:51:29.340 --> 00:51:32.480
Is stand-up you imagine getting the email from hogwarts of
1106
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.719
the summertime we promise baltimore's not going to be there
1107
00:51:35.739 --> 00:51:39.570
next year yeah i know some of the parents were
1108
00:51:39.610 --> 00:51:44.929
concerned baltimore showed up killed hella kids We have taken
1109
00:51:45.010 --> 00:51:47.969
care of it. We assure you our school counselor has
1110
00:51:48.030 --> 00:51:51.820
talked to them. You're just like, oh, man. Yeah, yeah.
1111
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:53.559
Okay, he did come back.
1112
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.489
This time he's like a squishy little like widget underneath
1113
00:51:58.510 --> 00:51:58.909
a bench.
1114
00:51:58.909 --> 00:52:02.150
400 kids died in a great battle that destroyed most
1115
00:52:02.210 --> 00:52:07.980
of the school and puts any mass shooting to shame
1116
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:13.699
by its sheer scale. But anyway, we could use money
1117
00:52:13.739 --> 00:52:16.210
this year for our library.
1118
00:52:16.969 --> 00:52:20.730
We heard there was a Dementor in your child's dorm room.
1119
00:52:20.769 --> 00:52:25.429
We're going to give you a 20% discount on that.
1120
00:52:25.449 --> 00:52:26.449
Right? That's a bit.
1121
00:52:26.570 --> 00:52:27.889
Should we do a stand-up special?
1122
00:52:27.989 --> 00:52:31.130
I think you and I should do a stand-up special.
1123
00:52:31.829 --> 00:52:33.489
We'll talk about the money. Okay.
1124
00:52:33.809 --> 00:52:35.909
I assume 90-10 split. You take the 90?
1125
00:52:35.909 --> 00:52:36.309
I get the 90.
1126
00:52:36.309 --> 00:52:37.429
Yeah, cause seniority.
1127
00:52:37.889 --> 00:52:42.110
Well, not just seniority. Height. Height. But also.
1128
00:52:42.530 --> 00:52:43.010
Quality.
1129
00:52:43.269 --> 00:52:46.469
Quality. I'm Catholic.
1130
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:47.760
More famous.
1131
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:50.030
No, I don't think that.
1132
00:52:50.389 --> 00:52:50.869
I do.
1133
00:52:51.170 --> 00:52:53.769
But anyway, what I'm happy for you about is that
1134
00:52:54.130 --> 00:52:55.829
I did all these things that I'm very happy about.
1135
00:52:55.869 --> 00:52:57.570
And then I find these things that I don't even
1136
00:52:57.590 --> 00:52:59.989
know what they mean to people anymore, but I enjoy
1137
00:53:00.030 --> 00:53:00.489
doing them.
1138
00:53:00.550 --> 00:53:01.400
Yes. It's fun.
1139
00:53:02.300 --> 00:53:07.099
And I love that. And as long as the rent's paid,
1140
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:10.280
I'll do the fun stuff now. Yes. And I really
1141
00:53:10.340 --> 00:53:13.150
do look at these younger generation of comedians and I'm
1142
00:53:13.449 --> 00:53:16.320
just delighted. When I see good stuff, it makes me
1143
00:53:16.380 --> 00:53:19.719
very happy. I don't feel, God damn it! Agreed. They're
1144
00:53:19.780 --> 00:53:22.500
sucking the lifeblood from me. But you get to do
1145
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.599
these things now, like this animated series, Digman.
1146
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:25.900
Yes.
1147
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:30.599
Which is a really funny idea because you grew up on.
1148
00:53:31.139 --> 00:53:31.760
Indiana Jones.
1149
00:53:31.820 --> 00:53:32.610
Indiana Jones. Yeah.
1150
00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:37.269
And the mummy and, you know, this notion that archaeologists
1151
00:53:37.349 --> 00:53:37.789
are like the.
1152
00:53:37.869 --> 00:53:38.590
National treasure.
1153
00:53:38.650 --> 00:53:41.989
Yeah, like the coolest people on Earth. In the world.
1154
00:53:42.050 --> 00:53:44.469
And it's just a universe where you're just, you are
1155
00:53:44.530 --> 00:53:48.980
told to accept that. Yes. Where you're like, archaeologists, whoa. Yeah.
1156
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:51.239
So yeah, me and my friend Neil Campbell wrote a
1157
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.820
whole show where that's basically the world. We're like, archaeologists
1158
00:53:53.860 --> 00:53:54.760
are the biggest celebrities.
1159
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:57.320
And you know what I love is that we all
1160
00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:01.960
accepted it. I mean, when, you know, I'm quite a
1161
00:54:01.980 --> 00:54:04.400
bit older than you. I got two decades on you.
1162
00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:06.699
And I remember when Indiana Jones came out and I
1163
00:54:06.900 --> 00:54:09.860
never for a second thought, Not for a split second
1164
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:12.679
did I think, wait a minute, archaeologist. They would show
1165
00:54:12.739 --> 00:54:16.460
him teaching at school and then going out around the world.
1166
00:54:16.579 --> 00:54:18.039
And it was the most exciting thing in the world.
1167
00:54:18.219 --> 00:54:20.960
And when I knew that you were coming on, I thought,
1168
00:54:21.219 --> 00:54:23.000
and we're going to talk about Digman, I thought, it's
1169
00:54:23.019 --> 00:54:25.360
just so funny to me the idea of you could
1170
00:54:25.409 --> 00:54:28.130
take footage of real archaeologists doing what they really do.
1171
00:54:29.019 --> 00:54:33.699
but put the Indiana Jones theme to it. And it's
1172
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:40.000
people just looking at geological maps for years to try
1173
00:54:40.019 --> 00:54:41.840
and look where maybe the fault came together and there
1174
00:54:41.900 --> 00:54:45.619
used to be a river. And then slowly digging, but
1175
00:54:45.659 --> 00:54:46.469
being very careful.
1176
00:54:46.489 --> 00:54:47.210
Little brushes.
1177
00:54:47.349 --> 00:54:52.530
Yeah, little brushes. The local government has asked you to
1178
00:54:52.570 --> 00:54:55.510
do a stay because they want to examine what you're
1179
00:54:55.530 --> 00:55:01.079
doing more carefully. So they shut down the site. You
1180
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:05.809
respond with legal letters. Now the site's been reopened. Just
1181
00:55:05.929 --> 00:55:12.170
more slow, dusty. And then lifetime over, never really found anything.
1182
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:17.280
Roll credits.
1183
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:22.099
Credits. Really long credits. Like there were tons of stunts.
1184
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:25.340
Just lots of stuntmen that you never saw proof of
1185
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:31.159
in any way. And he died. It's real.
1186
00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:31.739
It's real.
1187
00:55:31.780 --> 00:55:34.380
I mean, some of them I'm sure are swashbuckling and adventury.
1188
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:38.000
Your character. Yes. The voice. Rip Digman.
1189
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:38.440
The voice.
1190
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:39.400
Yeah. Yeah.
1191
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:41.429
It might sound familiar to some.
1192
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:42.570
I'd like to hear a little.
1193
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:44.800
Well, it sounds a little like this.
1194
00:55:47.349 --> 00:55:53.469
Yay! I'm happy. My favorite impressions of all time.
1195
00:55:53.590 --> 00:55:54.170
Oh, you're the best.
1196
00:55:54.210 --> 00:55:57.630
No, no, seriously. First of all, I love him. I
1197
00:55:57.690 --> 00:55:58.150
adore him.
1198
00:55:58.409 --> 00:55:59.710
Oh, he's the coolest.
1199
00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:02.960
And I say this, if this gets back to Nicolas Cage,
1200
00:56:03.099 --> 00:56:05.780
I adore him. My eyes are never off him when
1201
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:08.019
he does anything, which I think is proof that he's
1202
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:08.840
doing something right.
1203
00:56:09.099 --> 00:56:09.320
Yes.
1204
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:12.409
But that voice... Your impression is fantastic.
1205
00:56:12.429 --> 00:56:14.710
Thank you. He came on SNL and did it with me,
1206
00:56:14.789 --> 00:56:17.070
which I know is like an SNL move. But if
1207
00:56:17.130 --> 00:56:19.869
I really had to think about one moment that I
1208
00:56:19.909 --> 00:56:23.090
had live during that show, that was my favorite moment
1209
00:56:23.130 --> 00:56:24.730
of the whole time. It was probably when he came
1210
00:56:24.769 --> 00:56:25.389
and did that with me.
1211
00:56:25.650 --> 00:56:27.969
And were you at all self-conscious about doing it with
1212
00:56:28.010 --> 00:56:30.690
him or did it immediately just turn into we're playing together?
1213
00:56:30.730 --> 00:56:33.389
It's fun. Kind of the latter. I mean, I obviously
1214
00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:35.510
didn't want him to hate me because I respect his
1215
00:56:35.530 --> 00:56:37.550
work so much. And like the reason I have an
1216
00:56:37.590 --> 00:56:40.230
impression is because I've watched a thousand hours of Nick Cage.
1217
00:56:40.829 --> 00:56:43.179
You know, it's like embedded in me somewhere. But I
1218
00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:45.820
didn't even think to do it. It was like, I
1219
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.199
think like Emily Spivey or someone wrote me into a
1220
00:56:48.219 --> 00:56:50.739
sketch as Nick Cage. And she's like, you know, Sam Bear,
1221
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:51.699
can you do Nick Cage? And I was like, I
1222
00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:53.699
don't think so. But then I tried it. And I
1223
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:55.179
was like, I guess I can kind of do it.
1224
00:56:55.500 --> 00:56:57.320
And then I kept doing it on update and it
1225
00:56:57.340 --> 00:56:59.489
was just so fun. And he was the nicest when
1226
00:56:59.530 --> 00:57:02.389
he came and he went so fucking ham live.
1227
00:57:03.449 --> 00:57:03.829
Of course.
1228
00:57:03.849 --> 00:57:05.690
We did an address and he was like, good. And
1229
00:57:05.710 --> 00:57:06.849
we were like, this is going to work. And then
1230
00:57:06.929 --> 00:57:09.670
on air, he just like went all in and like
1231
00:57:10.110 --> 00:57:12.530
did the nice thing of like, I'm going to do
1232
00:57:13.449 --> 00:57:15.590
how you do the impression. Yes. You know, so it
1233
00:57:15.630 --> 00:57:17.269
like feels crackly and fun.
1234
00:57:17.309 --> 00:57:19.260
Like, yeah, he was just a joy. We used to
1235
00:57:19.300 --> 00:57:21.639
do a horse on our late night show called Kloppy.
1236
00:57:21.659 --> 00:57:25.739
And Kloppy was a horse. The conceit was I'd go like, hey,
1237
00:57:25.780 --> 00:57:27.239
it's time to visit our friend Kloppy. And then there
1238
00:57:27.260 --> 00:57:30.039
was like a children's theme. And this horse would, with
1239
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:33.070
a big fake head, would look through the window and go, hi,
1240
00:57:33.090 --> 00:57:37.550
I'm Kloppy. And I would talk to Kloppy. And Kloppy
1241
00:57:37.570 --> 00:57:40.369
would always say very depressing things and then wander off
1242
00:57:40.409 --> 00:57:43.630
and you'd hear a gunshot and a fall. And I go,
1243
00:57:43.769 --> 00:57:46.969
oh no, Kloppy killed himself. And Kloppy would come back and, no,
1244
00:57:47.050 --> 00:57:49.920
I didn't. And then there was always a very tortured
1245
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.619
explanation for what the gunshot and the fall was all about.
1246
00:57:53.019 --> 00:57:56.920
And he kept doing that. And that was Kloppy. And
1247
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:59.559
we would go out with the song too. And then
1248
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.619
I had Nick Cage on once, completely unrelated. We had
1249
00:58:02.659 --> 00:58:05.440
him on as a guest and he's talking. And he
1250
00:58:05.619 --> 00:58:11.110
just said at one point, I like cloppy. And with
1251
00:58:11.150 --> 00:58:12.489
his Nick, I mean, you can do it better than
1252
00:58:12.550 --> 00:58:14.690
I can, but he said, I like you. I like cloppy.
1253
00:58:14.730 --> 00:58:15.610
You can do it for me.
1254
00:58:15.869 --> 00:58:17.329
I really like cloppy.
1255
00:58:19.429 --> 00:58:21.699
And he did it with a big smile. And I
1256
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:24.239
became obsessed when the interview was over. I said, the
1257
00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:27.159
next time we do cloppy, I want the, when we play.
1258
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:29.320
The song, it's cloppy.
1259
00:58:29.579 --> 00:58:32.389
I want a little circle wipe to come up of
1260
00:58:32.469 --> 00:58:36.230
Nick Cage's head going. I like Kloppy for no reason
1261
00:58:36.269 --> 00:58:38.590
and then go away. And that was the magic of
1262
00:58:38.670 --> 00:58:40.949
doing that kind of comedy was they went, okay. And
1263
00:58:40.969 --> 00:58:42.969
then the next time we did Kloppy, they had a
1264
00:58:43.050 --> 00:58:46.730
Nicolas Cage endorsement just as a little head.
1265
00:58:47.090 --> 00:58:49.119
But of course he got it immediately because he liked
1266
00:58:49.219 --> 00:58:50.380
Kloppy because he's the best.
1267
00:58:50.559 --> 00:58:50.739
Yes.
1268
00:58:51.530 --> 00:58:53.510
He's the best. He's the best. I like the horse
1269
00:58:53.530 --> 00:58:55.449
that comes in with the happy song and then you
1270
00:58:55.469 --> 00:59:01.869
think maybe he killed himself. Because that's fucking funny. He's like, yeah, man,
1271
00:59:01.889 --> 00:59:02.710
it is. That's good stuff.
1272
00:59:04.150 --> 00:59:06.070
I also want to give a shout out to The Roses,
1273
00:59:06.130 --> 00:59:07.849
which is, I mean, talk about this cast. You're in
1274
00:59:07.869 --> 00:59:11.719
this movie with Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah. and olivia coleman yeah
1275
00:59:11.739 --> 00:59:13.699
yeah this is one of those things that you have
1276
00:59:13.780 --> 00:59:16.280
to have a moment of i'm sorry i was doing
1277
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:18.199
really weird shit on the internet.
1278
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:19.500
Yeah 25 years ago and now i'm with.
1279
00:59:22.010 --> 00:59:23.809
Two of the best actors in the world.
1280
00:59:24.050 --> 00:59:24.389
Truly.
1281
00:59:24.630 --> 00:59:25.110
In a film?
1282
00:59:25.489 --> 00:59:28.539
Yeah, in a movie. Jay Roach directed it. Me and
1283
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:31.199
Kate McKinnon play a married couple who are friends with them.
1284
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:34.400
It's a remake of War of the Roses, but really
1285
00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:35.460
more of a reimagining.
1286
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:36.219
Yep.
1287
00:59:36.420 --> 00:59:38.900
And it's written by Tony McNamara, who wrote, like, The
1288
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:41.780
Great and The Favorite and Poor Things and stuff.
1289
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:45.590
So it's crazy. Is there an intimidation factor there? And
1290
00:59:45.619 --> 00:59:47.349
it's okay if there isn't. You don't have to say
1291
00:59:47.389 --> 00:59:48.269
there is. Um.
1292
00:59:49.190 --> 00:59:51.329
I'll say this, SNL breaks you of it a little
1293
00:59:51.590 --> 00:59:54.469
because you deal with everyone and you realize like, all right,
1294
00:59:54.510 --> 00:59:57.239
everyone's just people. It's just, are you that crazy of
1295
00:59:57.300 --> 00:59:59.320
a fan that you get a little nervous, which I did.
1296
00:59:59.340 --> 01:00:01.960
I did a movie a couple of years ago with
1297
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:05.619
Kate Winslet and it was a straight drama. And after
1298
01:00:05.659 --> 01:00:07.519
going through that, I was like, well, at least this,
1299
01:00:07.699 --> 01:00:10.760
the roses is comedic and I'm supposed to be funny
1300
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:12.639
in it. So I was relaxing that way. I was
1301
01:00:12.659 --> 01:00:15.559
also paired with Kate and that was very comfortable for me.
1302
01:00:16.260 --> 01:00:19.570
But I'm not unaware that I'm like in, I'm in
1303
01:00:19.610 --> 01:00:24.010
a scene at one point with Cumberbatch, Olivia, and Allison Janney.
1304
01:00:25.210 --> 01:00:26.650
And it's just the four of us. And it's like
1305
01:00:26.670 --> 01:00:29.050
a big scene. And the ghost of Lawrence Olivia.
1306
01:00:29.210 --> 01:00:29.570
Yeah.
1307
01:00:29.610 --> 01:00:31.539
Like seriously.
1308
01:00:31.579 --> 01:00:31.780
Yeah.
1309
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:32.079
Yeah.
1310
01:00:32.139 --> 01:00:35.239
Like, yes, honestly, like Daniel Day-Lewis is like, mind if
1311
01:00:35.300 --> 01:00:40.599
I pop in? I'm just trying to memorize my lines.
1312
01:00:40.619 --> 01:00:46.519
Get the fuck out of here. But it's, You start
1313
01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:48.440
and you're nervous and you're like, oh, here comes that day.
1314
01:00:48.500 --> 01:00:50.360
I know that day. And then you do it. And
1315
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:51.699
as soon as you do a couple of takes and
1316
01:00:51.739 --> 01:00:54.320
it's working and it's really funny too, which I just
1317
01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:58.000
know is what I do. I'm like, all I can
1318
01:00:58.019 --> 01:00:59.800
think is like, this is so fun and this is
1319
01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:02.340
so cool. And they're all so nice. Like Olivia came
1320
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:06.679
from comedy. Benedict's hilarious. Jannie is a legend and so funny.
1321
01:01:06.739 --> 01:01:09.929
So everybody's nice. They're all like lying and saying they're
1322
01:01:09.949 --> 01:01:13.329
nervous too to make me feel better. It was very
1323
01:01:13.369 --> 01:01:14.110
warm and very fun.
1324
01:01:14.449 --> 01:01:19.829
I remember rewatching Hot Fuzz recently. Olivia Colman's in it.
1325
01:01:20.050 --> 01:01:20.250
Yeah.
1326
01:01:20.630 --> 01:01:23.199
And her name is like 15th in the credits.
1327
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:23.449
Yeah.
1328
01:01:23.980 --> 01:01:26.360
She's hilarious and she kills it, but I think total
1329
01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:28.960
she maybe has nine lines or something.
1330
01:01:28.980 --> 01:01:30.619
Oh, yeah. I mean, she was banging around.
1331
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:31.079
Yeah.
1332
01:01:31.099 --> 01:01:33.969
Doing stuff and being really funny. And then everyone was like,
1333
01:01:34.090 --> 01:01:36.210
what if we let her do drama too? And it
1334
01:01:36.309 --> 01:01:37.050
was like, oh, I see.
1335
01:01:37.070 --> 01:01:38.869
You're like one of the best. You're one of the
1336
01:01:38.909 --> 01:01:39.730
best ever. Yeah.
1337
01:01:40.289 --> 01:01:43.210
And Cumberbatch was funny because I played a detective on
1338
01:01:43.230 --> 01:01:45.789
Brooklyn Nine-Nine obviously co-created by Dan Gore.
1339
01:01:46.550 --> 01:01:48.989
Dan Gore a former writer of mine that's why I
1340
01:01:49.010 --> 01:01:52.130
bring it up he betrayed me and fled in the
1341
01:01:52.170 --> 01:01:58.320
foolish thought that he could have his own hit well
1342
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:02.539
it never happened for you did it Dan Conan Brooklyn
1343
01:02:02.579 --> 01:02:06.679
Nine-Nine was a huge hit people love that show shut
1344
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:09.469
up I'm sorry, I'll do all the voices.
1345
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:09.760
If I have to.
1346
01:02:09.780 --> 01:02:13.280
That's fine, it's like a radio play, it's good. But anyway,
1347
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.800
when I would have like a big case-solve monologue on
1348
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.340
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I would often say, everybody stand back, I'm
1349
01:02:20.380 --> 01:02:25.139
about to start cumberbatching. Because of Sherlock.
1350
01:02:25.219 --> 01:02:25.639
Yeah, yeah.
1351
01:02:25.739 --> 01:02:29.079
And no one, speaking of speed, which is my fave thing,
1352
01:02:29.119 --> 01:02:35.079
I keep telling, doing like fast dialogue, perfect diction, tons
1353
01:02:35.139 --> 01:02:38.030
of thought going into every line, Taking you through this
1354
01:02:38.070 --> 01:02:41.360
journey of like Sherlock Holmes is solving this crazy intricate thing.
1355
01:02:42.139 --> 01:02:45.280
He was like, when it came to the detective stuff,
1356
01:02:45.500 --> 01:02:46.579
that was my North Star.
1357
01:02:46.900 --> 01:02:47.079
Yeah.
1358
01:02:47.260 --> 01:02:49.179
Where I was like, the look and feel should be
1359
01:02:49.219 --> 01:02:52.619
McNulty from The Wire and the speed of the solves
1360
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:53.440
should be Sherlock.
1361
01:02:53.619 --> 01:02:53.840
Yes.
1362
01:02:54.579 --> 01:02:56.280
So it was cool to get to work with him
1363
01:02:56.300 --> 01:02:57.139
and see him like do.
1364
01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:59.840
That in person. Well, you're living the dream.
1365
01:02:59.860 --> 01:03:00.960
I am.
1366
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:05.480
Because you're here with me. Bam! I made it about
1367
01:03:05.539 --> 01:03:05.980
me again.
1368
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:07.840
Bam and bingo.
1369
01:03:07.860 --> 01:03:11.260
Podcast! Podcast.
1370
01:03:11.699 --> 01:03:14.090
The best thing anyone could ever do.
1371
01:03:14.130 --> 01:03:16.550
When they're bad, it's okay. When they're good, it's okay.
1372
01:03:16.769 --> 01:03:21.250
Everything's okay. It's a podcast. Podcast. I've noticed that. I'm like,
1373
01:03:21.659 --> 01:03:23.579
anytime we do anything and people are like, I'm like,
1374
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:27.119
I don't know about that one. It was great! It
1375
01:03:27.139 --> 01:03:31.380
was great. It was great. It is always great. Now
1376
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.420
it's not always good. When you get a guy like
1377
01:03:34.500 --> 01:03:37.840
Andy Samberg in here, man, is it good. Oh, shit.
1378
01:03:38.010 --> 01:03:40.469
But then some piece of crud like Harrison Ford.
1379
01:03:40.510 --> 01:03:43.289
Thank you. Thank you.
1380
01:03:43.650 --> 01:03:47.710
And if you're listening, Harrison, I'm coming for you. That'll
1381
01:03:47.750 --> 01:03:51.190
scare him. I want to thank you for being here.
1382
01:03:51.210 --> 01:03:55.989
I also want to thank you for always being one
1383
01:03:56.010 --> 01:04:01.780
of the nicest, just most relaxed, hilariously funny people I've
1384
01:04:01.820 --> 01:04:06.440
ever known. Seriously, you're a ray of sunshine. Seriously. And
1385
01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:08.599
you make me, and when you show up in your
1386
01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:13.550
goddamn baggy pants. What did you say you said? The
1387
01:04:13.590 --> 01:04:15.760
quick Lauren story at Wimbledon. Oh.
1388
01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:16.760
Yeah, so.
1389
01:04:16.780 --> 01:04:18.199
Because I brought that up and you brought up something
1390
01:04:18.219 --> 01:04:19.280
and I said, let's do it on the pod.
1391
01:04:19.340 --> 01:04:23.429
Yes, you said you're wearing sweatpants. What the fuck, basically.
1392
01:04:23.889 --> 01:04:24.550
In a bit voice.
1393
01:04:24.710 --> 01:04:25.510
Bit voice, bit voice.
1394
01:04:25.550 --> 01:04:26.250
Yeah, I wasn't hostile.
1395
01:04:26.289 --> 01:04:28.309
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1396
01:04:28.369 --> 01:04:38.579
No clickbait. Conan O'Brien thrashes Andy Samberg for wearing fucking sweatpants,
1397
01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:39.800
piece of shit, fucking slacker.
1398
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:43.260
All right.
1399
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:44.699
Long headline.
1400
01:04:49.389 --> 01:04:50.769
Do you, internet?
1401
01:04:52.449 --> 01:04:52.809
So, yes.
1402
01:04:53.590 --> 01:04:55.070
And I said, do you want me to change pants?
1403
01:04:55.090 --> 01:04:57.019
And then I said, oh, that actually really happened to me.
1404
01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:01.099
I went to Wimbledon with Lorne last summer. And we
1405
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:03.639
were going to sit in the royal box, which is
1406
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:07.969
she-she as fuck, obviously. And I got an email being like,
1407
01:05:08.010 --> 01:05:10.500
dress code, this and that. I was there shooting the
1408
01:05:10.539 --> 01:05:13.190
roses and I didn't have any like nice pants with me.
1409
01:05:13.250 --> 01:05:15.469
So I was like, I got black jeans. That's gotta fly.
1410
01:05:15.570 --> 01:05:16.690
Black jeans are not like normal jeans.
1411
01:05:16.710 --> 01:05:18.329
Yeah, I would wear black jeans to a funeral and
1412
01:05:18.369 --> 01:05:18.690
I have.
1413
01:05:18.929 --> 01:05:22.610
Exactly, exactly. I would wear them to my own funeral. Okay,
1414
01:05:22.630 --> 01:05:23.349
that's just stupid.
1415
01:05:23.550 --> 01:05:25.929
Why? You went too far. Let's get a rewrite on that.
1416
01:05:33.329 --> 01:05:34.809
I wish I had done it on purpose. It was
1417
01:05:34.849 --> 01:05:38.670
just like, I couldn't hold it anymore. I was like,
1418
01:05:38.690 --> 01:05:41.510
black jeans, the queen's box. They're not going to care.
1419
01:05:41.570 --> 01:05:42.300
Like also like a.
1420
01:05:44.619 --> 01:05:47.360
Little a Sandberg here. Hello.
1421
01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:50.360
I'm not like unknown in the UK.
1422
01:05:51.179 --> 01:05:53.940
So You're a huge star in the UK. This one's
1423
01:05:53.980 --> 01:05:57.590
full Jack Black.
1424
01:05:59.570 --> 01:06:02.349
So we show up, walk in, immediately, you can't wear
1425
01:06:02.369 --> 01:06:04.570
those pants. I was just like, oh no, fuck, I
1426
01:06:04.590 --> 01:06:07.989
fucked Lauren, I ruined his vacation. And they were like, no, no,
1427
01:06:08.030 --> 01:06:10.530
it's fine. You just have to put on some of
1428
01:06:10.670 --> 01:06:15.809
our Wimbledon brand khakis. Oh, of course. So they take
1429
01:06:15.849 --> 01:06:21.469
me into a building, into a giant conference room, empty,
1430
01:06:22.059 --> 01:06:25.420
With like five pairs of Wimbledon brand khakis on the table.
1431
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:27.179
And they're like, yeah, I wish everyone's fit.
1432
01:06:27.340 --> 01:06:28.000
And then left.
1433
01:06:28.059 --> 01:06:31.119
And I was like, I guess I'll get into my underwear.
1434
01:06:32.900 --> 01:06:35.780
So I change out of my jeans into the Wimbledon khakis.
1435
01:06:35.980 --> 01:06:37.079
They're not a nice fit.
1436
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:39.440
No. Not flattering. Not flattering.
1437
01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:42.500
I'm not a khaki guy at this point. No. And,
1438
01:06:42.519 --> 01:06:44.480
you know, hugging in all the wrong places. But I'm like,
1439
01:06:44.500 --> 01:06:47.389
you know, it's for Lorne. Yeah. So come back out
1440
01:06:47.409 --> 01:06:49.269
there like, oh, thank you so much. Sorry about that.
1441
01:06:49.289 --> 01:06:49.510
Sorry.
1442
01:06:49.530 --> 01:06:53.199
I'm like, yeah, it's fine. walk out to the queen's box,
1443
01:06:53.380 --> 01:06:57.360
sit down, and as we sit, there's like, ladies and gentlemen,
1444
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:01.440
the person's hurt and then retired, the match is canceled,
1445
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:06.570
enjoy mixed doubles! And everyone in the royal box stands
1446
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:09.210
up and leaves. And we're just like, should we get
1447
01:07:09.250 --> 01:07:09.750
some tea?
1448
01:07:09.769 --> 01:07:14.250
So your autobiography will be entitled, Khakis for No Reason.
1449
01:07:14.309 --> 01:07:18.809
Khakis for No Reason, or like, piece of shit.
1450
01:07:19.309 --> 01:07:19.409
What?
1451
01:07:21.510 --> 01:07:23.730
I don't like that punitive inner voice you have.
1452
01:07:23.750 --> 01:07:25.070
He was a fucking piece of shit.
1453
01:07:25.309 --> 01:07:25.809
No.
1454
01:07:26.510 --> 01:07:30.179
But like a little font. So ellipse. Ellipses.
1455
01:07:30.820 --> 01:07:31.000
No.
1456
01:07:31.159 --> 01:07:33.119
Little tiny font. He was a piece of shit.
1457
01:07:33.300 --> 01:07:35.480
No, Andy. The point is you were a piece of shit.
1458
01:07:35.889 --> 01:07:36.969
In the past, but now.
1459
01:07:36.989 --> 01:07:39.949
In the past, but that was six months ago. I
1460
01:07:40.030 --> 01:07:43.360
was going to ask you the timeline. Super late.
1461
01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:44.900
I was like, give me the timeline.
1462
01:07:44.940 --> 01:07:48.019
You pulled it out. Annie Sandberg, I'm going to let

you go. Congratulations on everything. And this has been, I
1464
01:07:52.780 --> 01:07:56.179
don't know, someone, I need to pay someone because this
1465
01:07:56.219 --> 01:08:00.079
was so much fun. So just name your amount and we'll.
1466
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:01.429
Yeah, six bucks.
1467
01:08:03.889 --> 01:08:06.599
Wow, I got off easy. Okay. All right. I do
