Great show for you tonight. Yormit Dicone is here. Dylan Adler is here. Together we will find out which couples can kill. What trending slop actually makes. makes us pop, and of course, we'll regret it all by the end with second thoughts. But first, let's get into it. What a week?

The Trump administration began deploying ICE agents to airports across the U.S., purportedly to address long security lines as the partial government shuff down, shut down, fuck, let... No, we're doing it. Leave it in. It let... It left TSA, unpaid and understabbed. Explained an ICE spokesperson to a journalist holding a small audio recorder, drop the gun.

Here are our boys in green, in photo after photo, very helpfully standing around. Look at these guys. They can't even stand at the airport correctly. You got to go to a gate. And 10 minutes before boarding begins, you got to stand in the boarding area. Because even though that means until your group is called, everyone has to ask who is and isn't in line and then awkwardly go around each other, you will be first to board with your group, which in turn, creates pressure for everyone to crowd the boarding era because you risk not having space for

your bag because you respected the process. Even though if everyone respected the process and waited in their seats or just not directly in front of the gate, everyone would board in roughly the same order anyway, which is just a small example, how life gets worse as you move from a high trust to a low trust society. Another example being Donald Trump as president and deploying ICE to the fucking airports. Anyway, Trump wax poetic in a true social post about the deployment to airport saying, quote, the public is loving ice.

They are great American patriots. They just happen to have much larger and harder muscles than most, which is what they're supposed to have. I know there are direct flights to Charleston. I want the two layerovers. I need them, said Lindsay Graham's saliva, dripping onto the table. Meanwhile, the TSA's acting administrator said Wednesday,

at ice shuffling around in the little vests, had it magically fixed the problem. More than 480 TSA agents have quit since the shutdown began, and the country's airports are experiencing the highest wait times in history. If only Kamala were elected, we could be experiencing the highest wait times in herstery.

Oh. And it's not all bad. Every ice agent drinking a taxpayer-funded Starbucks at Newark Terminal B is one fewer ice agent harassing people on the street. But it's also one more person. in line at the airport Starbucks, and every airport Starbucks does seem like it's one customer away from total collapse.

Think of it to one place, if you told me that an ICE agent put their gun up in the air and fired to try to calm the chaos, I'd be like, let's hear him out. But all of this is symbolic. The reason TSA is not funded is because Democrats do not want to fund ice, with the exception of John Federman, who's in the middle of his own version of eat, pray, love. But instead of trying new pasta shapes until you realize you are a number, You have a stroke and realize you are conservative.

Okay, so we're not funding TSA because we're not funding ICE, but ICE is sitting on $85 billion from Trump's big beautiful bill. So in order to avoid funding ICE, we've created a situation in which only ICE is funded. I haven't seen ICE ruin this many people's travel plan since the Titanic. Delta Airlines announced this week that it was suspending some airport perks for members of Congress until the shutdown is over, like a designated check-in desk. Not to be outdone, Spirit Airlines said it was going to stop hosing the turds out of the aisle between flights. But the whole reason Democrats drew this line was to create pressure on Trump and Republicans to attach reforms to any funding bill to rein in ICE's worst successes.

But when Democrats proposed reforms to require ICE to wear ID and show their faces, to codify rules around the use of force, to reaffirm the need for judicial warrants and prohibit baseless detentions, to protect people at hospitals and at courthouses, among other proposals, A bunch of online warriors and some lefties mock these Democrats as centrist squishes, proposing half measures to reform an agency that cannot be fixed. But whatever our aim is in the long term, right now, the truth is, the only hope of any reform at ICE in the next several years is to redeal because it will require Republican votes in Congress, not to mention Trump's signature. Saying, LOL Democrats bad, side steps the actual hard question.

Funding ICE with no reforms is unacceptable. The complete overhaul we'd want is impossible. Trump is at his lowest ebb and Democrats have leverage. The question is what can we extract right now to make giving up our leverage worth it? And like Melinda Gates said to her divorce attorneys, let's fuck him all the way back to Epstein's Island. This week, Trump demanded Republicans hold out on a deal

unless it includes not only ICE funding, but his elections bill that will require married women to show their passports, birth certificates, or whole to vote in the midterms. This is the Save Act, which doesn't have enough votes to pass on its own, let alone when tied to government funding. So I'm tying Homeland Security into voter identification with picture

and proof of citizenship in order to vote. And I'm requesting that the Republican senators do that immediately. You don't have to take a fast vote. Don't worry about Easter going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus, okay? And then if Jesus does come back, we'll finally have enough funding to deport that barefoot Arab socialist back to the desert he came from.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats rejected a framework from Republicans to end the shutdown because it didn't go far enough. And as of this recording, the negotiations are ongoing as more and more TSA agents call in sick or quit altogether. And I'll say to them the same thing I said

to the crooked media workers' union during our bargaining sessions. Come on, please, work for free. Please, just work for free. Didn't work. On Thursday, the Senate held a test vote on what Republicans called their best

and final offer. In the end, to no one's surprised, only John Federman crossed the aisle. Republicans can count on his vote until that next stroke turns him Maoist and he disappears into the poca-nose for 20 years. I'm scared, but buckle up for when he comes back.

He will not believe what happens when Federman Maoist comes out of the wilderness in 20 years. They are ready. All of this is why ICE at the airports is a fitting metaphor for the Trump era, a symbolic deployment during a symbolic shutdown as the president's chaos and mismanagement draws all of our attention and energy

as the country crumbles around us. The Pentagon has a trillion dollar budget, but Trump says they need another $200 billion for the war in Iran we already supposedly won. You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. Meanwhile, on the tarmac at LaGuardia on Sunday night,

People were in terminals waiting in security lines for hours to be screened by unpaid TSA agents. Two pilots died in a collision, one of a series of mishaps under-aps under-a that has been underfunded, overworked, and saddled with obsolete technology. And we can't just sit back and let people die because we underfunded critical life-saving infrastructure while expecting overwhelmed professionals to make up for our neglect. It's an airport, not a hospital. Trump's own Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, who I would make fun of for being a reality star, except he happens to be one of the most responsible members of Trump's cabinet,

is going around to Congress, hat in hand, begging for money to fix the air traffic control system for a tiny fraction of what Trump wants to spend turning Ayatollahs from a liquid into a gas. Memory Lane. Memory Lane. And you know what that sounds means? It's Ty for a trip down memory lane.

Back in the 2010s, conservatives spent years yelling on TV and holding hearings and conducting investigations about a company called Cilindra. This was a supposedly epic boondoggle because the Obama administration backed loans of $535 million, half a billion dollars, as part of a guarantee to this solar company, Cilindra, and that company went under. And the government lost that $535 million. Now, that loan was only 3% of that overall loan program. Democrats assumed that some fraction of the companies that received loans would fail.

That's why the government had to be a backstop in the first place. These were some risky bets. It's like how we make this show. A certain amount of failure is just baked into the process. But even with the losses from Cilendra, that loan program, under the Obama administration, funded clean energy and created jobs while also returning every dime of taxpayer money plus interest. Taxpayers made a profit on that loan program.

Republicans turned a real-world success into a symbolic scandal for television. And yet, this week, the Trump administration announced it was writing a check for a billion dollars to a French energy company as a payoff for killing two offshore wind farms. In exchange, the company, ha, ha, ha, I'm sorry, the company Total Energy, has promised to subsidize oil and gas production in Texas while promising not to pursue offshore wind energy in America ever again. In other words, the Trump administration is paying the French

a billion dollars to not work, their favorite thing. And Republicans who claim to be outraged by waste and by the government choosing winners and losers won't say a peep. Because for these people, the real-world impact does not matter. The long-term cost of the country doesn't matter. What matters is the symbolism. What matters is owning the libs and what plays on television.

That's what we're seeing with Iran, too. On Wednesday, NBC News reported that Trump receives a daily video montage from military officials highlighting the biggest strikes in Iran from the past 48 hours. a briefing that one official described as a series of clips of stuff blowing up. Move over, Bay of Pigs.

This is the Michael Bay of Pigs. Responded J.D. Vans, look, obviously we're concerned about the screen time, but, you know, one day you're going to have a president of your own, and you're going to see just how hard it is to get a moment of peace. And this isn't the only briefing Trump gets about the war, but it's raising concerns even among his allies that he might not be receiving the full picture of how things are going, especially when you consider the company he keeps.

On Monday, Trump had this to say about the decision to start a war with Iran and the influence of his defense secretary. Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up, and you said, let's do it. Please, Mr. President, save it for the Hague. It's fun to think about, to have that fantasy, as if we live in that world. On Wednesday evening, Trump spoke in an annual Republican gala and said this about Iran. And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us. Not sure where that paranoia is coming from when you have the reassurances of the defense secretary.

And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. Oh, oh, but that's not what that word means. You don't get a better deal on a CRV by throwing a brick. through a window of the dealership. Even if you're trying to take out their lead salesman, you're just radicalizing the junior associates, especially because you did this during Happy Honda Days.

Take out the lead negotiator. There's somebody on the lower ebb that we can work with. Not anymore. They're fucking furious. You took out the window and the lead negotiator. In the middle of this precious time called Happy Honda Days. There was a situation. story in Zateo today that Hegsa's nickname around the Pentagon

is Dumb McNamara. It's really bothered me because it's not a play on Robert Magnamara at all. And so we have some alternatives. Thick Cheney. Blondeleiza Rice. Donald Dumsfeld. An Ugg Fife.

There's a question as to whether people remembered Ugg Fife. Said Trump at Thursday's cabinet meeting. And just so we set the record straight, I've been watching the Wall Street Journal's fake news and all these stories that get printed like, oh, I want to make a deal. They are begging to make a deal, not me.

They're begging to make a deal. Sure, buddy. Trump teased that Iran had even given him a gift and confirmed at the cabinet meeting that the gift was allowing eight oil tankers through the strait of Hormuz. Also, the oil tankers were made of wood and shaped like horses. It's a wonderful, thoughtful gift. So Trump says we're winning the war, and Iran is begging for a deal. But Iran rejected a ceasefire, and Trump is sending thousands of paratroopers to the region,

while Iran is reportedly building up its defenses around a place called Karg Island, which handles 90% of the country's crude exports in preparation for a possible U.S. ground operation. Karg Island doesn't sound like a place we should be sending American troops. It sounds like where we should have to travel to get a gold star in Mario Party or to rescue your wife from King Kong. But Trump and the Republicans, have a problem. Markets don't care about how the war looks on television. Markets care about the price of oil. And voters don't care when the Secretary of Defense says we're bombing the

woke out of Wokistan when gas is pushing $5 a gallon. That's why Trump's approval, according to a new Reuters poll, hit a new low of 36%. Trump's own district in Palm Beach just elected a Democrat. Two years ago, a Republican won that seat by 20 points. Meanwhile, the president is touring Graceland while the country is at war. Elvis had two eighth degree black belts and karate. One was in Kenfo, and that's what this match was he was really good or was it just... Actually, he was really good. He started practicing.

Could I have taken him in a fight? I don't know, you might. I think he would have been respectful enough to let you win. Yes, he probably won't. Would Elvis have let Trump win? A lot of people forget this. But Elvis had a lesbian sister who he loved and whose partner he embraced. And a lot of people forget this because I made it up.

Elvis never said that much about politics after he got that little badge from Nixon. The colonel wanted to protect Elvis's all-American image. And you can get pretty far in America on how things seem. But right now, the American people are furious about how things actually are. And Trump can hit the stage and swing his hips and blow his kisses and serenade the five.

But at the end of the day, he's just a fat slob, past his prime, shooting at the TV, and slowly dying on the fucking toilet. Which, by the way, is my favorite Elvis album. That's love on the... Dying on the fucking toilet, mama. Mama. That's love.

Dying on the toilet, mama. Was it... Did I do better in rehearsal? Mama. Mama. That's it. Mama. Mom.

Show's over. Mama. It's this for an hour. Mama. Mama. Mama. Oh. Ooh.

It's similar. You got to do this. You go to the back of your throat, it's the French. Then you go lower. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. We got a great show for you tonight. Yormit Tocconi is here, Mama. Mama.

Before we get to the rest of the show, how many people here from Los Angeles? Have you been following what happened today with the K-line?

Do you know what I'm talking about with the K-line? It's a good story, which is L.A. is going to build some rail. And, boy, like an ant crawling across a rubber band, it's going to keep getting longer in front of us, but also behind us somehow. And the question was, are we going to build a train that basically connects the sort of north of L.A.X all the way up to the Hollywood Bowl? And this is something L.A. voted for in a ballot measure 70%. Had to get to 67%.

We voted for it 70% to do a bunch of transit. Exensions was in 2016. There's also a bunch of money set aside if we can accelerate this project. there's like $2.2, some odd billion set aside to do it, but there is this problem. In order to build a train, you have to dig a tunnel because it's Los Angeles. And the tunnel ends up going about 100 feet

under some homes in Lafayette Square. So the community in Lafayette Square said, we don't want a giant train under our 100 feet under our house because it's going to shake the cats. And so it's going to make the cats scared and we'll be scared and it'll be shaking all the time like they imagined from the movies.

So they did a study, two studies. Millions of dollars were spent delaying the project on studies. studies came back and they said, actually, these train holes will be so far underground, I don't know what the technically are called, sort of these train paths, tunnels, those tunnels, technical term tunnels, will be so far underground that it'll be actually imperceptible without fine instruments. And you're not a fine instrument. You're a homeowner in mid-city. So you're fine. The cats won't know. You won't know. let's build this thing and they said no we're still worried about the tunnels can you move the route and

they're like well if we move the route the train's going to have to turn right and then turn left and trains hate doing that so it's going to slow the train down they said please move the tunnel for no reason and everybody said fine fine homeowners in lafayette square we're going to move the tunnel so now if you look at the map of what happens with the kline it goes like this then it comes around and it stays under san vincente so it doesn't go out under as many homes and they said thank you so much this train may never be built and so they tried to stop it. But they got some pretty big hitters involved, including Mayor Karen Bass, who seemed to be receptive to some of their arguments. And so there was a question going into

what was a pivotal vote today that nobody really knew about that basically meant that if the measure passed, but there was another motion to delay it, the K-line could never be started to be even considered being constructed until 2041. 21, if it was. You were to be. You was delayed any further. It still may not be built until 2041, but there's a chance now we can unlock some of these billions of dollars and get the thing built faster. But, but a lot of people spoke up. It seemed to really piss off Mayor Karen Bass, who put out a statement saying, anyone who suggests I'm going to stand in the way of this train is spreading misinformation, but I will make sure this community is heard. And it's like, well, wait, what? If they're heard,

we can hear them, but can we then ignore them? That was the question. But the good news is today, there was a vote. And a lot of people spoke up. A lot of people came to the meeting. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes negotiations. And at the end of the day, the metro board voted to expand the K-line without any delay. So it was a real victory for local politics and people standing up for transit. And, yeah, it's still going to take too long, but that's a good example of how L.A. is finally facing some of the ways it has been governed stupidly for a very, very long time. Now, that doesn't mean we're not doing stupid things elsewhere, like how they're trying to implement SB 79.

But this was a good example of people speaking up, putting on pressure, and it got the local government to move faster to build the line, which they're calling the pink line to the pink pony club because it goes through Rio. That's all I wanted to say about that. Love it or leave it is coming back to our nation's capital. Join us on April 23rd at the Lincoln Theater to pregame the White House Correspondent's Dinner Weekend and then not go to it.

Oh, Righteous Kill. Oh. That's my podcast.

Okay, great. Quaid Army. It's such an unbelievably difficult thing to explain. What's Quaid Army? Why we decided to call our fans quades. Is it after Randy or Dennis? Neither. Wow.

Neither. Is it from Total Reco? Yes. It is? Oh, Ben, then I'm fluent. Yeah, great. Yes. Oh, say no more.

Yeah, say no more. Uh, yes, yes, it is, uh, because of a, a sketch that we did on SNL, which was Andy playing a quado in someone's, uh, have you seen it? You have, I've seen the sketch and I'm aware of quad. Okay, great, yeah, yeah. And then while we were writing the sketch, I thought it was really funny that quado should call anyone who's not a quadro a quade. Uh, and then we, and then I, when we wrote the sketch, I was like, we should start calling each other quades. Like, I was really obsessed with it. And then I mentioned it on the pod and then it somehow became that our listeners are quates anyway that's the story quade hive rise up wait army i love that thank you

by the way i really want to sit like you like like when i saw the show i was like oh fuck we get to sit like you want oh that's great these chairs are like a little monkey yeah i like to be up yeah that's good yeah that's good hey you're part of lonely island yeah technically yeah technically um i'm part of group. Pots of America. Yeah, I know. I know. I was telling you, like, it's just crazy to see your face. I was telling Peter Miller, who is my brother-in-law, who writes for this show, but I was telling him that, that I, it was nice to see how handsome you were. Wow. I said that. I, you know, he told me that you said that. And I appreciate that. We didn't talk about this backstage. I really am, I consider myself the funny one. So, so, so, I'm curious what you.

you learned about being part of a group and have any tips for getting the other members of the group to hang out with you outside of work. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. You know, I got kids and we all have kids. So it's hard to, even for our pod, it's hard to even find the time to actually like see each other. We were trying to calculate when the last time we all saw each other together with Seth Meyer. The podcast is with Seth Myers as well. And we can, it's before the pandemic. They all hung out together. Wow. Really sad, yeah. So I don't have any advice for that at all. But being a part of the group, like, what have you learned? Like, navigating being part of a creative group. Well, you're so, but it's weirder, right?

Because it's three people, right? So, like, ours is more like democratically. It's like majority rule. So oftentimes if we have an idea and only two of the three of us understand the idea, that person will usually leave until the idea is a little bit more fully formed. and then the third guy will come in and poke holes and be like,

this is why I don't understand this, like logic, and then you make it better by like the consensus of like once it gets to the point where all three members understand it, then it's usually the best product. And then I would say like

there's a lot of fucking piggybacking. So you almost don't know where the, you know how writers rooms are? It's like a joke starts and then it becomes another joke and then becomes like to the point where you almost don't know where it began, and it's a much weirder joke, which I always appreciate.

Yeah, I feel like that people will ask about certain jokes from the, like, correspondence era or other things. And I have no idea where jokes started and ended. How could you possibly keep track of that? I mean, I know the good ones are mine, but I don't really remember me on that. So your new movie over your dead body. Yes. It's a remake of a 2021 Norwegian black comedy called The Trip. Yes, which is such a weird thing to even have wanted to make a remake.

was a very odd thing for me. How did you think about it? Well, so it got proposed to me from a producer named Guy Dinella who worked with Tommy Wirkola. I'm going to go ahead and say that that's how you say it, Norwegian. Tommy made the movie Violent Knight, which is the Santa Claus diehard movie, basically. And he's made a whole bunch of other movies.

And there was like a Venn diagram there of like, he's doing action comedy, I'm doing comedy action and there was some crossover there. And Tommy had been quoting some of our movies on like Hot Rod. He loved and he loved a pop star and McGrubor and things like that. So he was just quoting us on set and guy was like, I haven't met that guy. I all hit him up. So he hit me up.

And then a week later he was like, this is weird. But Tommy made this movie called The Trip. It's originally called In Bad Days was the original like Norwegian title. But it's like on Netflix. I watched it and it's fucking crazy to make any remake of it to even want to do that. But it's also weird for how recent it. Like it's like it's just, it was only a couple of years ago that it came out. The original was great in a very European way.

It's like super fucking dark. Like it is like it's about two people who go to a cabin and want to kill each other basically. And then crazy shit ensues and it gets it like weirder and weird. And it's a it's a really fun. I don't want to spoil anything. But like it goes all these different places. And I love, but I love the original. I thought it was great.

And then I love the script that Nick and Brian wrote. They're in a group called Britannic, or I think I'm pronouncing it. And, but like it was a really funny script. And it felt much more like me in that, like, it just totally, I felt like I could do something. And I, and then casting-wise, like, with Jason Siegel and Samara, it was just so fun to make. And it was a real challenge for me because it's like, there's drama in it. There's actual real acting scenes. There's full-on action, like not funny action necessarily.

It's pretty fucking gory. But it was all these different tones and then weaving throughout it is that like we were pushing the comedy as much as we could. But within it being a real situation. So it was, for me, it was just like the challenge of doing it. That was a really fucking long answer. No, it was good. I'm interested. I'm interested.

It was interesting. I'm fully in. It could have been longer. Thank you, John. So I'm glad you brought up the difference between the sort of the comedy aspect and the horror aspect. because we were talking about sort of some of the iconic sketches and songs. And what I wanted to talk to you about was actually editing. Because how much of, I think, what made them really special, among other reasons,

was in part they were just, like, the comedy editing was really so excellent. And that comedy editing and editing generally just gets short shrift as how much is made through editing. And I'm wondering how you think about the difference between, like, editing something for comedy. and then editing something for suspense. Well, just like, there was one moment, this is a tangent, but there was one moment we got a bad review of the movie Harrod. And one of the criticisms was that it was poorly edited. And I was like the amount of fucking time that we spend,

like literally sitting there being like one frame, two frames, because it is down to the frame to me with comedy in particular. And so, you know, I've spent, fucking thousands of hours. Every single one of the digital shorts that you saw that we made and we made over 100 is like,

this was before they had editors even working at the show. So me and Akiva like edited everything. So I was there like in at SNL when no one's even in the building when like when we're editing these things. So we put so much time and energy. And as you said like it's it really is,

it's timing to editing is timing. And comedy is timing. So those scenes, what would, was really fun for me was that the scenes that are purely comedy or have like a comedy moment in it those are the scenes that I sit in there and and the term is frame fucking and like and you I sit there and get it and get it and sometimes that's music sometimes that's like the edit sometimes it's both oftentimes it's both and then and then the and the action same thing like I like it you know

it's it's removing frames sometimes it's even like you know like there's a punch and you are taking out the frames in between here and here, and then it just seems super aggressive. So you spend the time on all these things that action, the comedy, and then some of those things are like either the suspense, as you're saying, or the moments where suspense becomes like a punch or like a piece of action. And I would sit there and really fucking focus on those scenes the way I would with any comedy scene. But what was really fun for me was the scenes that don't involve that and are just purely like

Jason and Samara really acting and being with each other and leaving the camera on them because it's so fun to see a performer. The little shifts in the eye or like or when they have, because there's a lot going on in this movie and there's a lot going on if you see it twice because like you sort of see things in a different vantage point. And so it was just, it was really fun for me to see how easy those scenes were to edit and not fucking with them because I'm so used to like overly like da-da-da-da. But those scenes, like the ones that have impact, like the gore scenes, they edit more like jokes because you're always wanting to be ahead of the audience. I'm like, that was a big thing for us as a,

and what I was always saying with Lonely Island and stuff is that the stupid of a joke, the faster you tell it, because you just want to be ahead of your audience. And so a lot of the violence and stuff that happens in this is like, it's punchy in that way of like. And sometimes it takes a full fucking day to be like, now it's good. Like, you know, I really sit there. Anyway, another long answer. I apologize. Hey, did you see the new Justin Timber Lake DUI footage?

I haven't seen it yet. On the way here, my Uber driver was talking a lot about it. It's, he's very likable even while getting arrested, which is I think what that's it. You know, he has it. He definitely does. I've been saying like the story about Justin to me is that I've never met anyone more confident in my life. like absolutely like and when we made dick in a box he was like that's a fucking hit I was like I hit like wait what ass it like the beat sucks this is like two perverts

there's a that's a hit that's so cool do you want to see a clip of him getting arrested let's watch it I don't know what are you visiting yeah I'm on tour what are you doing I'm on a world tour I'm Justin Timberlake What's your name? Justin Timberlake You are Justin Timberlake? Yeah

White? I'm just kidding He says you call me white I'm just kidding And then the artist says like Well what kind of tour And he goes, it's hard to explain I'm Justin Timberlake Which I found charming

Well it's also weird when your name is a brag Yeah Like his actual name is him bragging It's strange. Hasn't happened to me yet. You played Pee Wee-Herman in the Weird Al movie. I did. Yeah.

How far did you go to get into character? I begged. I bet not far. No, I dressed up as Pee-Wee-Herman twice for Halloween. Like, when I was like 14. And then I was lucky enough to become friends with Paul later in life. And he was just the sweetest man alive. I don't know if you've seen that documentary, but it's amazing. He was such a great.

I mean, like, I didn't realize. My wife made this movie called Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which was about Mr. Rogers. And I didn't realize, like, he was like the weird Mr. Rogers. He was, like, so sweet, so much connection in the audience. And, yeah, I was so fucking nervous because they were very secretive about that movie, and you couldn't say anything about, like, you being in it or anything. And I was so worried that Paul was going to fucking hate it.

Like, like, but he was cool for that. That's cool. Can I tell you my favorite moment of my life, like in Hollywood? You have all these... I'm out of time. Oh. Yes, tell it. Tell it.

Tell it, please. I had a moment. This is my brag. This is my Justin Timberlake. But I was, I was at Paul Rubin's house with Paul Rust. They were writing the Pee Wee Big Holiday movie. And at the time, I was going to maybe direct it. and instead we had to do this movie

Pop Star fucking bummer and uh and but I was smoking weed with Paul Rubens at his kitchen table and then I got a text from Weird Al Yankovic

saying congrats on the Grammy nomination and I was like oh my God I was like I just needed Tony Hawk to like kick in the door and be like I'm your best friend and I would have been like oh shit my 12 year old self just like exploded but it's never enough is it never enough the pit is so large it's like now i'm here but what's past here

you know what's higher than there there must be something because this is already faded now that moment is gone now i'm just here the thrill of it is done and i'll just go home so i guess start all over again right you guys are laughing but this is just true uh speaking of the yawning chasm between meaning and death. Your new movie

Over Your Dead Body, you've got a couple played by Samara Weaving and Jason Segal who go on vacation only to discover that this may be a murderous trip of some kind. Yes. Sort of romantic, if you ask me. In honor of your new film,

we bring you a segment we're calling Over Who's Dead Body? Oh. And... Oh, Lord, that's... We're going to have you blind rank the following couples based on how likely they are to murder each other on vacation. Wait, how do we blind?

Forget the blind ranking part. We're going to just look at these couples. I think that's better. Would this couple murder each other on vacation? And if so, who would win? First up, Vince and Linda McMahon. Oh. Vince McMahon, co-founded the W.J.O.B.E.

Linda McMahon, it was a long-time WWE Exact, is the current U.S. Secretary of Education. They have been married since 1966, but separated in 2025. On Tuesday, Linda tweeted a wild post that said, in 2005, everything changed. The PlayStation Portable was released, and it did more than make gaming portable.

It made entertainment, personal, mobile, and always within reach. It was the beginning of life on the go. That's what the Secretary of Education posted this week. It's an insane feat of SpawnCon. Also, simply false. The PlayStation portable changed nothing. Didn't evolve anything.

We'd had Game Boys forever. Crazy. Crazy. Now, last summer, Vince was sighted for reckless driving after crashing his Bentley into another car on a high wing Connecticut. When asked what he was doing, Vince said this. Why were you driving over 100 miles an hour? He had to get his granddaughter's birthday. He had to get to his granddaughter's birthday.

Just being a pop pop. That's sweet. Just being a good grandpa. What a good guy. Would you, A, do you think they would try to kill each other on vacation? Okay. Who do you think would emerge triumphant? Well, I'm basing this off this photo.

which it does look like he's almost wearing like a neck brace in this photo, right? I think that is a head brace. But it looks cool. It does look cool. Yeah, it does look really cool. It looks like he broke his neck in this photo. I have a friend who works in the New York Times

named Fred, and he has a phrase. This is just a slight tangent, but his phrase is like he loves saying top term buckle. You know how in any like WWE fight, like they build to that, right? It's like, da, blah, blah. And then when you get up on the fucking top turn buckle, like it's the like last like you know boom yeah yeah

and he likes to say like if somebody comes in hot they're coming top turnbuckle um i feel like Vince in this picture is top turnbuckle so I feel like he would have an advantage um if she was going to kill him I would certainly hope that she would choke him out

with those pearls good answer good answer I think that's right but yeah but I think next up we have Justin Trudeau and Katie Perry. Okay. Do you think they would try to murder each other on vacation? And so, who'd win?

I think that any Canadian is sadly too polite to murder anyone. I mean, Canadian versus American? No way. She's definitely killing that, dude. Yeah. She's got that also, like, kind of pop star energy where it's, like, like, she's done a kind of Pilates that hasn't actually been shown to the public.

You know what I mean? Like, it's a private government Pentagon. There's, like, a DARPA level of Pilates. Yeah. Only available to seven women. It's like Katie Perry, like, maybe Rihanna has access to it. Like, very few. And only them.

And, like, the research is conclusive. Like, this is the final. And they did it in, like, a hot room, too. So, like, so on vacation, if they were on a beach, she could still do it. Do you remember on a top in Gold, Goldeneye? How she could kill people by squeezing them to death with her super thighs? That was such a good game. And PlayStation changed the game.

Change everything. Change everything. Changed everything. Yeah, Katie Perry. Great, I agree. That's correct. Let's do one more. Paul Thomas Anderson and Maya Rudolph.

Oh, no. God, I would know. Well, you could just say they won't do it. These are like friends of mine. I don't want to like talk about it. Well, you know, it's not real. It's not real. But I have to answer.

Yeah, that's the rules of the podcast. God. Yeah. And you were saying backstage, he's overrated as a director. And it's like, and it's like, oh, we get it. I don't know if I can answer this one. You said magnolia. There's such a wonderful couple.

That's a really boring answer. They're so fun. They're so fun. They are so fun. Who would kill? And who would be killed? Paul would kill. And yeah.

Good. Look at like she's a little scamp in that photo too. They're both scamps. Look at them. Two scamps. Oh, one final one. Okay. This is me and my fiancee.

Okay, so you haven't met Ari, but you've met me, and who do you think would win? How long have you guys been together? A couple years. Okay. I think that I'm dead. And you love him?

To so much. I would be so shocked to be murdered on vacation. My... And honestly, I think at that point it'd be like, I didn't understand the world. Let it out. heaven. I was wrong. That's what I would

say. I honestly, I swear to God, if Ari tried to kill me on vacation, I'd just be like that, okay. I was wrong about it. I just, there's no reason. I got it. If I got it this wrong all the way to 43, like, I'm out. That's okay. I deserve this. Also, he looks sweet,

so I would imagine. That's the whole thing. It'd be a shock. Yeah. Would Ari poison you? Like, what do you think? Like, if he was really going to do it? I think they're, I don't know. You wouldn't stab you or anything, right?

I think actually, I think that I could honestly, I think that, like, on a busy week, if you just jumped out of a corner and scared me, I'd have a heart attack. Just take me out when I'm stressed. After a tough drive home, like, really trafficking and I'm late for something, just go boo, I'm out. Yeah.

And then, you know, victimless crime, basically. Or no. That's not what I mean. What do I mean? They'll get away with it. I, by the way, by the way, I'll tell you something. If Ari murders me, I hope they get away with it. I'm in.

Again, like, I had a... It's pretty cute. You guys are pretty cute couple, too. Right? Yeah, we're cute. That's some cool tats, too. Yeah, they have tattoos. They're cool than me. I'm like, tattoos, what about the cemetery?

That's what I think. Yeah. That's what I think about it. But I'll tell you, until you get to the cemetery, boy, you better go see over your death. body. April 24th. We'll be right back.

My next guest loves to move fast and break things is hilarious. Dylan Adler! Dylan! Get out.

Hi. Hi. We just met backstage, but this guy is great. Yes. Moving fast and breaking things. That's right. You're on tour with Outsco. Yes.

I opened for her. I've been opening for her for about five years now, and I was just with her in Boise, Idaho. Beautiful. I know. lucky. And you were in Europe? Yes, I've never been outside of the country until last year where I got to open for her in Europe.

It was fucking incredible. And the women they thought you were someone they could hit on. Yes, okay. So the standards of masculinity in Europe are different. So in some countries, I pass, which is crazy. like I was a What country Honey

Republic of Afghanistan Like what are you talking about Yeah yeah France Exactly The Republic of France I I've never had it happen before But it was like a flight attendant

On Air France I don't know And she was like Oh do you want a Do you want a complimentary meal? And then I was like Well yes I would Thank you so much

would like a compliment. You know? Some people are gay for pay. I'm straight for a cheese tray. Did you actually... It's such a weird way to hit on someone. I know. I know.

I don't mind. Yeah. Yeah. Did you notice anything about the European sense of humor? Did it... How did you do... Because when we did some shows in the UK

and in Oslo and Stockholm. And we were shocked by how much people were following American politics, but I don't have to do stand-up. Yeah. What actually did shock me was how queued in a lot of European countries are with American culture, American politics. But there were certain countries that were truly so quiet and stoic. Like Belgium was me and Otsikos probably were a show.

I literally did. a backflip to abject silence. And they were like, oh, that's dangerous. And then, like, I had to go back to the mic because it's like a big distance from the mic. And that was mortifying. And, you know, we were in Helsinki. Or just like overall in different European countries,

like when you go on stage in America, they'll be like, they're cheering when music's going on. but in Europe they're like kind of clapping in unison in like a sort of communist kind of we are equal all you know it was I don't know it was interesting yeah you shot the movie in Finland I yes and I had a very similar experience of my first AD was named Auntie and my impression of him was I am Auntie I am doing a joke now I am being serious now I'm doing a joke it's like yeah very soic which like for me I've never felt more American in my life.

I'm like so loud and like smiling. I love us. Yeah, I know. We're great. It's like, oh. Love it or leave it. Be more like us. I think they should just try to be more like us. Someone in Iceland said Americans don't

have thoughts because they say every thought they think. It's like, wow, that's true. It's such a bummer how true that is. I remember I was in somewhere, we were in somewhere in Stockholm and someone said, ah, American, and Donald Trump fake news. I kind of relate to us.

Oh, yeah, America. You know, Donald Trump, fake news. By the way, one of my first weekends there was in Helsinki. And I went to the saunas everywhere. There's three million sonnas. And I was in the sauna with two guys, these two giant dudes who were like ROTC or something. They were there for like an ROTC-ish weekend.

And they were. so Trumpy and I had this, like all of us are naked and I was between these two giant dudes and I just went off. I was like, I was just like, this motherfucker. I was like, it was all about like manhood and like I was like

he's not a fucking real man. He doesn't support his wife. He's like like a real man support, but I was like going crazy to the point where like they were like okay, well we're going to leave. Had now had politics come up?

Yes. They were like, they were Trumpy. They liked Donald Trump, and they were trying to get me to agree with them. And it went south. This?

It was like a half an hour of me naked, being like, another fucking thing. And you were saying, you slept with those guys. Yes. I was like, I was like,

this sounds like a porn I've seen, actually, the beginning of it at least, you know? Turned. Yeah. Speaking of turnt, we're all pretty turned off

by what's happening. with AI. And, okay, so in December, Disney signed a $1 billion deal with OpenAI's video app SORA, granting their permission to use Disney IP and characters in their generative AI videos. But on Monday, Open AI abruptly shuttered Sora

dissolving their deal with Disney. According to Reuters, Disney was shocked at the news, but they shouldn't have been. It's a horrible idea. Just an app full of baby Grugus. Grugus? I don't fucking watch any more Star Wars. They ruined it. Grogus

Grogu. Grogoo. Grogoos, plural. Sorry. Sorry. I've literally never seen it type before. Grogis. What's the baby grogous? Baby grogues. Baby grogues, of course,

fly into the twin towers. I hadn't reached apart where the baby grogues flew into the twin towers. Another millennia. Millennium Falcon has hit the Pentagon. But not all technology is bad, is it? This debate rages.

In our next segment, hey, do you want this? Here's how it works. We're going to rule on the latest innovations being crammed down in our throats after each one will decide. Do we want this? It's true. Great. Yeah. Ready. First off, Melania's humanoid robot. Thank you, First Lady, Melania Trump, for inviting me to the White House.

It is an honor to be at fostering the future together's global coalition inaugural meeting. Look at her face. Yeah, this is the part of Westworld where they're like, wait, are you? Am I? How long have we been here? So that's an AI-driven general purpose robot that the First Lady endorsed is an important piece of educational technology for children that she called Plato. They were naming the robot Plato, I believe after the philosopher. Sure.

Yes, please. That was hilarious. Yeah. I like it. You know, I think this should be like serving smoothies at Airwan, maybe. But I don't think educating the kids. What is it supposed to do, like, to educate them? I think it's like a teacher.

I think it's just a literal, like it's so you can ask it questions and they'll answer the questions. Well, I hope it has a gun. You know what I mean? Like, I like if it's armed. Well, this is where it's like, it's so funny that we decided that we want them to be people shaped. You know, that we decided, like, why not? This can't be, like, maybe the best shape for a teacher isn't a person. Maybe the best shape for a teacher is something more, I don't know, pyramid-like.

I don't know. You don't know. Try out a bunch of shapes. See which kids come out smarter. Yeah. Great point. As long as it has a gun. Yeah, it's got to have a gun.

Yes. Well, this is where it's like at a bunch of things. at a certain point, like, maybe it needs a gun or maybe it just throws its head at something. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't... We need... Like, humans need guns, because we're limited in certain ways, but that robot could, you know,

I don't know, make... Throw us S. Like, Superman does that time. Remember when Superman throws the S and Superman 2? And it's like, wait, he can throw the S? You know, and it's not an S? You know what I'm talking about? When he throws the S? You're like, he can throw SELophane S's?

When was that power? Yeah. You know? Do you remember that? No. No. I'm sorry. You know what? But I'm so glad you do it. I really do.

I really do. I'm Superman 2. He throws the S. Amazing. I believe. At General Zod. Does it cut his head off? No, no.

It's actually at the big silent ogre one. And it kind of wraps him up and he's like, and then he falls down a hole. I would love if it cut his head off. And everyone was like a little disturbed. I was like, that was a little bit much, Superman. See, there's certain physical fight moves that are villain moves for no. reason. So odd job can throw a hat and cut somebody's head off because it's somehow seen as villainous. But good guys are allowed to shoot people, including people that are just in the way

of the plot who are not responsible for what's happening to the hero. Like, there'll be heroes in a movie that are wrongly imprisoned killing the guards at the prison while they escape. And it's like, that guard's just at work. He doesn't know anything about why you were convicted. There was, there's a moment in John, when I was watching the first John Wills. And he was like, the first John where he murders so many people. I mean, it's literally like two in the chest, one in the head, like 5,000 times. And I, then there's a moment, like, at the very end,

like, or, you know, like, lowest moment. He goes back to his house, and his house has been burned to a crisp, and he, like, finds the locket from his wife or whatever. And it's this, like, reconnection of, like, remember, that's what he's doing it because he's so sad. And I was like, oh, this would be so fucking rad if they flash to everyone's widow who, like, all the people who, like, all the people, had killed, like, looking at their thing, being like, oh, man, Eric, like, he fucking died.

Wow. He's left so many things, right? Every henchman has a story. That's what you were saying, backstage, John. Yes. Every henchman has a story. Yes. Every founding father's story gets to get told.

Every other henchman story doesn't get told. That's what he was saying. Yeah, that's Hamilton. And that's Hamilton. Yeah. Speaking of founding fathers. Andy Cohen. Yes.

This summer Peacock launched their AI-powered Andy Cohen avatar, who will recap recent episodes and tease upcoming drama as he guides you through the digital bravoverse. Dylan, do you want this? Yeah. So, you know, he's the AI, Andy Cohen that guides you through the Bravoverse. Yeah, that's right. That's what I... You know...

What don't you get? Okay. Honestly, honestly, the only... The only thing I can think in my head is like, oh my God, he's a top. Did you know he's a top? He's a top. Is the A.O. on a top? Probably.

Probably, too. He's sort of a nothing. You're surprised he's a top? No, I'm actually not surprised. He's a top because he, you know, runs his own network. But also, bottoms actually run the world. So I'm, maybe actually a little surprised. Power bottoms?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But the AI of nothing. They're nothing. They're bodies. Yeah. They're neither top. nor bottom. They just act as if they act as if we,

if we want them to be a top, they will be a top because that's how they act in the way that we expect them to act as close as possible to fulfilling our expectations, you know, in a sense. So I suppose that that would probably mean that AI, Andy, is performatively a top, but is only digital. Yes. Right?

And can't be fucked because it doesn't exist. Exactly. It's just a digital thing. Exactly. You know, when you think about it. Yeah. You'd have to, like, figure out a different phone to fuck it. Or, well, what's interesting is you could imagine putting AI Andy into the Plato thing.

Yeah. And that could happen instantly. That could happen mid-meeting. They could have in mid-class, you know, they accidentally. All of a sudden there's like a philosopher talking to Lisa Rina. And then they're like, wait a second. If Plato's here, where the fuck is Andy Cohen? And it's like, shut up, you kids.

I don't know what he would say. Probably nothing that bad. I thought you meant like, then you can fuck it, too. Oh, I didn't even think of that. Yeah. after the blessing. You think people are going to want to have sex with robots? I never thought of that.

It's definitely going to be a thing. You think so? No. For sure. No. Yeah. Fucking humans. What do you mean to have sex with dolls? What are you talking about?

No one's going to have sex with robots. It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Mark my words. Listen, listen. Listen. I don't like making predictions. No one is going to have sex with robots. You just remember when I said it.

No one is going to have sex with robots. It's not a thing. part of the future. That's crazy. That's a crazy thing to say. You guys are being crazy. Sex with the world. No.

By the way, Andy Cohen's involved in our movie, too. Bring it back to Over Your Dead Body April 24th. How so? I don't want to ruin it. He hosted the reunion. So,

next up, and we do want AI Andy. We didn't really resolve that. I think we... Oh, maybe not for me. Just, yeah. Okay. The next up, the Throne One toilet it basically

has an app that records all the poops you take lets you know about its consistency, frequency, hydration level. Throne One keeps it organized for you. It's only $39. And before you ask, yes, there is a camera that attaches to your toilet and films

the bull, sending the footage thrown via, it says the footage to the throne via bank grade security, because you're making such an important deposit. No, no. But I do have friends who, like, would, my friend Josh lived with us for a number of months when he first moved to New York

and would constantly leave the door open to the toilet and then want us to like look at his poops occasionally. So this would, you know, take out the middleman. No, he wasn't. Jewish? No, he was not Jewish. Okay. Is that a weird thing to ask?

I don't know. I wouldn't have gone there. Yes, right? Well, just, I find that Jews among Jews were just like, all right, is it just us? And then we talk about Mossad stuff, but then we come. Stop it. But then, stop it. And then, but then we do talk about our poops.

Jews talk about their poops amongst each other. I don't think of Jewish people as showing each other their poops necessary. But that's because maybe, okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to be very honest. I love this. And I would love to have this.

Because I have had things wrong for like three years, for years. And I didn't realize it until it was, they were like, you've had Giardia for two years. I thought that was a dog disease. Bitch, I thought you got it from a river. But apparently, you can get it from eating ass. PSA, PSA.

That's why you want this. Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. Well, you know, capitalism found its market.

God, I'm learning so much. Let's do one more. Let's stay on topic. The University of Maryland's Human Flattis Atlas produced what they're calling a Fitbit for Farts, a tiny hydrogen

sensor that provides continuous data about your flatulence from your underwear to an app. Boy. Wow. You know, Dylan, we've got a great, this has been a great CES for you. Yeah.

Great consumer electronic show for Dylan. Yeah. I have something fart related. It's not this. But when we were recording our album Turtleneck and Chain, we got obsessed with there's a product called Flat D

and Flat D I think he was trying to like it basically removes the smell of farts so it's like a little carbon I don't know what it is but like and you usually put it in your underwear but we just had it out and then anytime anybody had to fart we would throw them the flat D put it on our and we actually

put a thank you in our album liner notes to the inventor of flat D. It's like noise it's like noise canceling headphones for the fart yes well yeah yeah and we would get pissed at each other if you're like why the fuck you put it on your butt. You're like, it's right there.

Yeah. That's accountability. So it seems like a good product. Yeah. I don't know. So I don't know about this one. I, um, again, I think this is great. And I, um, I, I, I, I wear a CPAP machine.

I have sleep apnea. And sometimes it's so intense. I wake up. It's like a whoop, I'm a whoopee cushion. And sometimes the intensity is like too high that it's so. so much air that I, that it's too overwhelming. And I have to tell my, I don't know, this is like a nice measure of like, if the intensity of my CPAP is too strong.

I feel like that there, I feel like there was a character in the book Catch-22 where there's a tube in and a tube out. Mm-hmm. Thank you for playing the game. Did we win? You both won. You both won. We'll be right back.

It's the end of the show, which means I started wondering, did I do good? Let's find out in our favorite segment, second thoughts.

All right, here we go. First up, let's see, I kind of taunted Jesus during the monologue. Do you really want to risk it? I think Jesus would understand, as I understand Jesus, would understand where the heart of the joke was and would care only about the ethic of the joke. and the ethic of the joke is defensible. I don't think Jesus is sensitive or ego-driven. No, he's like a forgiveness guy.

Yeah. It's a big thing about that. God, on the other hand, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, you got to be more careful. You've got to be super careful. Yeah, that's, you know, that's the boss. Let's see.

Do I regret my accent work? French accent plus Elvis impression. MoMA. Moma. I think I got out there. Ha, ha, ha, ma'am. I'm getting there. Momo.

That's strong. I just doesn't go that down. Mommel. Oh, who, who, I don't have it. I don't have it. I don't need. to have it. I don't regret it. That's your French accent?

That was... You combined the two a little... That was Elvis plus French. Oh, ho. Oh, gosh. Okay. Yeah, it's good. It's pretty fine. It's fine.

Someone said, this one, one of the producers said, if you want to talk about trains all the time, maybe run for mayor. Okay. Oh, it says here, I could have told Yorma that he's handsome as well. You know...

I was thinking about his life. I hope Peter put that in there. So what's interesting about that is it would have never occurred to me to say, because you had told Pete, you brought up, you said, call me handsome and I appreciate that. What a nice compliment. It would never occur to me to immediately say the same back to you. And this way you know, if I ever say you are handsome, I'm not doing it out of some obligation. It would be weird.

You'll get a, my compliments are genuine, you know, so I don't regret not saying that you're handsome. I think like you're an objectively handsome man, which I now feel obligated to do, and I don't want to be saying any of this. But I wouldn't have, I don't respond. I don't think it's, I think it's stupid as a culture that we do compliment compliment. That's stupid.

Yeah, I agree. Because if I, you know, let's earn a compliment, you know, have it come naturally. If someone... If someone... Do you're my fucking hair or something. Make it better. Yeah, work on yourself.

If someone compliments me, I can't not compliment them back. I truly, it's the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. I'll make something up. It's very American, right? That's more... Yeah, yeah, it is. One regret, did I didn't really acknowledge the coolest moment of Yorma's life

with Paul Rubens. I just kind of turned it into a joke immediately. That's sort of the show. Do you have any regrets about tonight? Anytime we talk about pee-wee, I always feel like I'm like, fuck, I should have done the pee-wee impression because everybody likes impressions, right? So I should do it a little bit, right?

Yeah. Fuck, I don't know what to say, though. This was a really, really good show. You're doing a great job, John. I really think that. Anyway. There you go. Yeah.

Thanks. Thanks, guys. Wow. That's so much better than my Elvis. Which I'm now realizing is nothing. Oh, no. I regret it. Dylan, do you have any regrets about this show?

You know, bouncing off of Yorma, I actually regret not adding in a Lin-Manuel Miranda impression to the... Every other henchman gets to grow old, yes! That's really good. That's really good. Finally, apparently, according to my producers, people are already having sex with robots,

which I think is a lie. Not true. That's ridiculous. And that's our show. Thank you so much to Yorra Tocote. Thank you for having it. We will see you next week at Dynasty Typewriter. 219 days until the midterms.
