I'm here with my friend Chloe Troost. Thanks for comment. Thank you. We're answering questions today from the listeners and viewers that we sourced on Instagram. And also we're talking about your show. Yeah. Will you explain your show because I was online? I was like, oh, this is interesting because it's like, it's like intimate.

It's an intimate solo show. And as far as I understand it, you're playing a character and it's interactive. It first came to be, because, me. me and my friends who were all in a sketch group together. In one of them they were like, oh, could you play like a Broadway star legend person of yesteryear and come in and just kind of like sing a medley of songs and just act bizarre because I had been doing the voice of this character. I love that that's the cue.

Yeah. It's like so oddly vague. And I would say, we need you to come in and be a character of yesteryear. Yes. And you're like, sure. And drive with like a bunch of boys to Connecticut to like shoot it at this like church. That's funny. It was kind of always stuff like that where it's like, okay, we're going to all drive to Great Neck.

Yeah. Because we got this library for free for the weekend. Isn't that everything? Yeah, it's just like what did you get for free? Yeah. And then where can we go and we do it? So much of just indie filmmaking and indie, you know, shorts and all this kind of stuff is like, it really is like, what do we have?

Yeah. We have a kitchen. We have our friend's kitchen. Yeah. So we're going to do a sketch about a character who cooks. Who cooks and like ran out of ingredients and I has to use. What? It's like everything.

Yeah. But I kind of love that too. I think it's the best equation for like, really trying to figure out what's funny and anything. So it's like, okay, well, we have a kitchen. All right. Kind of just start. And then if we make each other laugh, that's probably something.

Oh, I completely agree. I remember, like, years ago, when I was starting out, I remember talking to Dmitri Martin about writing process, and he would just be like, I'll take whatever object is in a room and I'll just be like, I'm going to write jokes about that thing. And it's like, that's a fun exercise. It's like the same exercises that your like third grade writing teacher gave you. It's all about your third grade writing teacher.

Everything you learned in third grade writing is how to be a comedian. Yeah, I think that's right. And you and I know each other through improv, just improvising with the Please Don't Destroy boys. Yeah. Who you like went to college with and then did improv with in college, right? Yes. And Skage. They were part of those kind of like films that we would do together.

Yeah. And we all kind of would like take the helm of one of them like, oh, oh, we're going to shoot Martin's thing this weekend. And then, oh, you know, Sam has a thing. So John and Ben are going to be in it with us. And it would just be like, oh, whose thing are we doing what we said? That's so fun. It was really fun. And it was kind of ended up being my life.

It's one of those things where it's like if you end up being free, on a weekend when they need someone, you might not ever leave. Totally. You're done. Yeah, you might just have your weekends planned for kind of the rest of time. And that's a little bit what happened in terms of meeting them. Yeah. And I met Ben and John first because they were in the sketch group at my school, but I was

in the improv group. And it was kind of like at NYU, it's sort of silly how the comedy groups kind of feel like the fraternities of campus. Is that true? Well, it's certainly not as cool, but it was like each improv group and sketch group had their own kind of feeling and personality. Yeah.

And they would collect people like every year. So it's like, oh, you're part of after school or you're a part of Dangerbox or you're a part of Hammercats or part of fear. And it was like that kind of gave you something. It was like the different houses. Yeah. Is it me or is it like this crazy bumper crop from your group of years who are super successful in comedy?

Isn't it? Because it's those guys. Yeah. But he's on destroy. Yeah. And it's, isn't like Rachel Sennett and I-O and aren't they all from that group too? Yeah, yeah. Well, we were all a part of like the same sort of spanning four years give and take.

Yeah. So we all were in college together and all in different groups, which was like the fraternity of it all. It is really sort of an insular kind of system that I think really does happen when everyone put lights of fire under each other's asses. Yeah, yeah, sure. I don't think it's necessarily, like, intrinsic. Like, oh, wow, like all of these really special people got together at the most special time. I think that generally happens when everyone's just like lights of fire under each other's ass. No, I think that's the Malcolm Gladwell outliers theory, which is like groups of people inherently make each other competitive with each other in ways that aren't overtly competitive, but everyone just sort of gets better.

Yeah. Whether it's a hockey team or, you know, academics or whatever. Yeah. Well, the Knicks. The Knicks, for example. From Villanova? Sure. I do feel like that's brought, like, not to be like,

And that's what we're the knits. We're the next. Not at all. But I remember hearing that there was like a cluster that came together or like moved up together and stayed in one team. And I was like, they're going to win. Yeah. There's something to it. Yeah, they're going to win.

I don't know. Yeah. It's always fun. We're going to answer questions from the audience. But where can people get tickets to your show and where is the show? Pepperslit.com. Nice. We got the URL.

No one else had it. Lower third, PepperSlitt.com. It would be awesome if we were like, damn, we got to pay someone off to get this. Or you had to dot org and just everything, everything goes to nonprofit. Yeah. Pepperslitt.com. It's a sketch comedy nonprofit. Yeah.

You just support sketch groups that like trying to figure something out. That's kind of like a, what is it, redundant. Exactly. Non-profit sketch comedy. Yeah. It's oxymoron. Yeah. So that's where you can get tickets.

And so far playing until mid-August, but hopefully more. Nice. I'm looking at the questions from the audience and I'm laughing because I'm like the first question. Is the first question, does Martin Hurley get nervous doing improv? Is that the question? They're not in order. Like, I'm like, looking at this question. I love being, like, their PR reps.

I mean, that is an outrageous question to ask you. Well, but you have no idea how many questions I get asked about them. There were so much more than that. That is absurd. So I included ones for this conversation, but. Wait, I do. I want to answer this. I'm going to answer this honestly.

Martin. Martin? Yeah, he gets nervous. Yeah, you do, you do, Martin. Why don't you show up a little bit more? I know, he doesn't show up. Whenever we do, our please dump for Biglia shows. He does not show up.

He apologizes over text. And then every now and then he'll admit to me, I don't know if I like doing improv. Uh-huh. Yeah. But he's very good at it, actually. No, he is. I mean, we, we, yeah, he does. He does love doing improv.

You know what? I got to drop in the comments if you want to see Martin more in our. in our shows, because I do. I love Martin. We'll send those his way. Yeah. Your improv, by the way, I feel this is like the highest compliment I think of improv is like, when I'm on stage with you, I feel entirely safe.

I'm like, you will fix this. Whoa, that's so nice. You're like, you are a wizard of improv in my opinion. I'm like, you can make anything work. And have full commitment and full, just like all my favorite qualities of the improvisers. Like your full commitment and your full support. Damn.

That's very cool. Thank you. I like, I was so, I was so obsessed with, like, those types of people when I would, like, watch Improcious. The sort of fixers or there's, like, two opposing ones where it's like, it's a fixer, somebody who's, like, trying to, like, sort the mess kind of that's been put out, which is so fun. And then there's also, like, wild card vibes where it's. It's like if something's kind of like...

You're also wildcard vibes. Just go like this. Like, what do people come out with as like a walk-on to sort of just either like destroy everything that's been built or like just take it to like a, I don't know, just bizarro new place? Two other people like that are like Connor Ratliff. I love that. Yeah. Yes. And Tammy Sager's funny.

Oh, yeah. Well, I love, I mean, I love them and I've been watching them. And of course, I've been watching you for for. ever, like, you know, do improv and, like, do comedy and stuff. And I remember, like, watching them years and years ago when I first went to UCB shows. And I remember watching, like, John Timothy and, like, Chelsea Clark and Zach Willis and all these people who, I guess, like, the only version of it that I, like, loved of improv was, like, watching, like, bloopers. You know, like bloopers from movies

When you'd like Watch people kind of From Judd's movies Yeah, yeah Yeah, I would From knocked up or whatever Yeah, I feel like everyone in my Like

Cusp generation Yeah Spend so much time on YouTube Watching videos that like Were DVD extras That were just like Essentially put on YouTube So you can kind of rewatch them

Yeah Of like the office bloopers Or like I guess before that too, like, yeah, like Anchorman bloopers or like things like that, you know, stepbrothers. My only ding on bloopers is bloopers in the pure, I think are beautiful. I think like when it's a little bit pushed. Oh, yeah. Nothing worse.

No, no. No, I mean, it's unwatchable. When people are trying to lean into the bloop, it's like what? No. Like when they're, do you follow what I'm saying? Yeah. When people. You're so upset.

No, but I'm just like, is this, am I crazy? Am I crazy to point this out? Like, there's a certain type of actor where they're like, huh? Yeah. And there's like, no, I don't think that was a bloop. No, that wasn't a blooper. I also, like, there's something that happens. And this happens, like, outside of bloopers, but kind of just, like, everywhere.

If someone messes up saying something, this is like a huge pet peeve of mine, but it's when they go, like, when they're like, I'm trying to do boop-blah-blah-blah-blah-d-da-b-d-da-b-b-d-da-b-d-d-d. Yes, I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Why continue? Like, why continue? Just, like, eat what you did. It's actually funnier.

It's actually funnier to, it's funnier to see, like, I'm trying to skill my gluper reel. Yeah. Yep. You know, it's just like, I'm there. And then all of a sudden, people are going like, blah-blah-blah, I can't talk. Yep. It's like, ah, ha, so hard to watch. Yeah.

Nobody's doing blooper real blooper reals anymore. Let's bring it back Let's bring it back No, because I agree with you Just live it Just live in it Live in the mistake Be embarrassed

People laugh I like when people laugh at me Not with me I like people laugh at me Yeah When they go like damn She's being so stupid Or like

Yeah Oh that that's like That person or that character is like Delusional or something And it's like They're laughing at They're laughing at you. They always say, you know, you always heard that thing.

It's like, you know, you'd rather have people laugh with, don't have people laugh at you, have people laugh with you. And that's always, that's always like the smart people know when the joke is coming so then they can laugh with everyone. But it's like the silliest people don't know that they're doing a joke. Oh, I think you're right. And then when people are laughing at them, I was like, that's just like pure, joyful comedy. I think it's also like the people. People who are sometimes like transcendently funny, their laugh at width becomes a blurred line. Like, I think if you look at some of that Chris Farley vintage stuff, it's like, it's blurry.

Yes, yes, exactly. In the best way. Yeah. I think, you know, they're so expert at like flop. Like, it's kind of like someone who is like insanely funny like that has flopped so many times or whatever that. that like getting out of like the bomb sweats or whatever and like do whatever you can. Yeah. Essentially is like I'm going to fart and then roll and then and then like take my stomach out and like and like do a stupid face just to get anyone to like laugh at you.

Yeah. Even if they're not laughing at the things you like created. Yeah. And I don't know. I think that's kind of the super formula for, you know, sketch people is that it's like, figure out, follow the laugh. Follow the laugh. That like clowning thing.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is that a principal of clowning? Follow the laugh? Yeah. Yeah, there's, I'm not an expert in clowning, although I like. You told me off air that you were. Right.

And, well, of course, I lie like on my resume almost every day. Trying to move right now and lying out my ass right now. I work. I work all the time. I work full time. And I work. for a salary job and my boss's name is Dexter Crinkle. Oh, Dexter Crinkle?

Yes. Dexter C-E-X-R-C-R-C-R-C-R-C-R-S-Q-U-R-S-Q-U-L. I'm going to look that up. No, no, no, no. He doesn't have. No, I'll look it up. There's no paper trail. Okay. He's sort of a Ludd-A-T, so. Okay.

Yeah. You cannot call him, cannot text him. mostly just like you have to know him. Right, right, right. Dexter is sort of like, to know him is to understand him. Yep, exactly. And that's, yeah, those are the lovely little lies that I feel like I need to say on the regular. Crinkle is spelled how?

Do you. Sorry? I think I said it already. So if you want to just cut that. Who's editing this? I think I said it already. So the next question is from D.E. B.S. Bateman, Des Bateman, how long did it take to find your voice? Or is it an ongoing thing,

your comedy voice? I hope it's ongoing. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I don't want to, like, have a voice and then, and then, you know, have that thing happen where it's, like, later down the line, people are like, that shit isn't funny anymore. Like that old that old shtick Yeah Also

Yeah I feel like My sense of humor Also came a lot from like my family Yeah My brothers And And like my older brothers They would listen to like

Comedy specials in the car When we would like drive to school Or put on shows that they wanted to watch Yeah And And so a lot of it was like the sort of boy humor that I was like kept abreast of yeah um and took note of yes and then found things that I disliked about it and was like I'm throwing that away but I want to take like

these things that I really love yeah and then mixed with like so you're cherry picking from the patriarchy yeah right yes I like this I like this part of the patriarchy yeah but I don't like this part but I would actually prefer to eliminate that out of it um Yeah, so kind of a lot of that. Yeah. All right, here we go. Bruce Page says, how did leaving SNL change your relationship with comedy, if at all? Oof.

A lot. Yeah. God, a ton, a ton, a ton. Yeah. That, I felt like there was a moment. where I had to go, damn, I might not do this again. Oh, wow.

Not on my terms, but just in the like, if I'm humiliated like this, how will I feel comfortable getting on stage? How will I feel comfortable in rooms? How will I feel comfortable going to these meetings where it's like the first question out of everyone's mouth is like, what happened? Right.

How are you? Right. What are you going to do now? And I felt like all of that was so hard. Yeah. And I dreaded, dreaded the idea of like going up at a show again. Yeah. Because it was just, it felt humiliating.

Yeah, felt humiliating, I would say. In truth. I always think when people. get fired from S&L is, like, the best cast members got fired from S&L. It's like Sandler and Sarah Silverman and like literally like all, like so many of the best cast members got fired. And I appreciate that. Chris Parnell was another one.

Undoubtedly. And also there's so many that you don't remember. Who got fired? Yeah. Of course. And that's what I put into my head. Yeah. Of like.

What if I'm those? Yeah. And it's not like it's any kind of like. like huge, it's not like their life doesn't matter or anything, but I was like, oh, I was so close to maybe being one of these types of S&L people, but now I'm one of these. And then it's like, you're either going to be like, damn, like, it was all for the best. That's the best thing that could have happened to her. Or they're like, wait, you were on, you were on the show? Right. I'm laughing. I have this memory of seeing like an interview.

where some, like, I think it was Sandler talking about, I think he found out they were, he was fired from Farley. Do you ever see this story? I might have. Like he shows up and he gets to the office and he's like, like Sandman, like, we got fired. They were at the office? I think so.

Oh, they don't do that anymore. Yeah, we're so. They don't let you come in the door. They don't let you near the place. Oh my God. No, but I mean like, yeah. But I think he did. I almost, I don't want to be apocryph, but it's like, I think Sandler found out from Farley.

That's hilarious. Yeah, yeah. And so that's a great example, by the way, of like, it ain't funny necessarily. No, I'm sure they were pissed. Yeah. That they got fired for it. Those guys were hilarious. Yeah.

Well, you know, it's kind of crazy because I, when I knew that I was, like, about to get fired, I was on hold for six weeks. And it was like a week before the season started. Yeah. And people were already in the office and stuff. But I just like was the last holdout. Right. And I got a call from somebody.

And they were like, they were like, you know, people usually fare better if they don't really talk about their experience. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So that was like in that moment I knew, all right, this is over. Wow. And another thing that they said was like, you know, it's great on the resume though. Oh, my God. And I was like, if I had that on a resume, they'd be like, you're lying.

Right. Like, why are you like here with your resume? Who's doing that? Like, I don't know. And then my last credit was a customer purchase for one year. Saturday. Oh my gosh. It is funny because it's like some people know that I was there for a year and then some people

don't and they just, you know me from other stuff. And I'm like, great, fantastic. Yeah. But now it feels like a little bit of time has passed where it's like, you know, some people might know and some people might not. But right at the end, right after my season ended, I got a meeting. with like a crazy like casting person who I knew just from like knowing their name. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I was like, they want to have him a meeting with me. Oh, okay. And so I like, you know, went in, had like, you know, made sure like double deodorant because you get like so nervous for those kinds of meetings. And I was like, who, okay, like I'm going to meet the big guy. and I sat down with him and he was like

oh you've been doing a lot of stuff and I was like yeah yeah you know trying to and he was like and your friends with like the the police don't destroy guys and I was like yeah yeah

they're my like good buddies and he was like you should like do stuff with that and I was like yeah oh my God Yeah, I do. That's a great idea.

And then he was like, no, I mean like, you should like be in their videos. Yeah. And I was like, I am. No, I am sometimes. And he was like, no, no, like on like SNL. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, I am. And he's like, no, no, I mean this is exactly like verbatim what.

He was like, no, no, I mean like you should be like on the show. Yeah. And I was like, I am. And he was like, he, this. Still continue on. He goes, no, no, no, like a cast member. Like, even at that point, he was like, surely she means writer or like PA or something. And then I was like, no, no, I was a cast member.

And he was like, oh my God, for like how many episodes? And I was like, about 21 makes full season. Yeah, about 21, rounded it out. Yeah. first, you know, from season, you know, opening in season to finale. And he was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I guess I wasn't aware. And I was like, then why am I here?

Like, otherwise I have like, no credits. So I was like, what? Like, I was racking my brain after it too. I was like, then what was the credit that he was. like bequeathing me. Right, right. All right, let's get back to some questions. Nicole dot Pascoretta says,

when do you feel most alive when performing? Ah, probably if I'm laughing or making other people on stage laugh. Yeah. Especially if, like, we're not supposed to or something. Yeah. And then all of a sudden it feels like, you know, living room couch vibes. that like people are somehow like opening the screen to

and they're getting to see kind of what happens and we're all just like chilling and laughing. That's a running theme on the show lately. Talk to Chris Fleming about that. Talk to Leva Pierce and Jane Wickline about that from Dukes about like the way in which comedy is just a sleepover that you're at and like there's an audience there. Yeah.

And if like you can like channel that in on the stage, that's crazy. Oh, that's definitely when I feel happiest. Yeah. I don't know. What was the word alive? Yeah, alive. Yeah, alive maybe is when I'm most fearful is when I'm like, I feel like I feel every

goose bump on my body is like maybe when I feel most alive, which sometimes is when it's dire straits. Yeah, yeah. When it's like there's like a cold sweat going down my back because like nothing's making sense on stage and like I've misnamed like the third person in a row. Totally. All right. Dan Wonderlick says,

what do you do when a long form seems to have lost the plot or gotten confusing? We're laughing preemptively because I feel like this is every... Bail. Every show. Oh, yeah. At a certain point, feels like that. Yeah. I mean, it's different feeling like probably the, you know,

there's different standards for things going cold on stage. For sure. For sure. really let things fester. Yeah. And they're like, it's going to come around. Yeah. It's going to come around.

Especially if you have few people. Yeah. You can maybe let something sort of like get cold on stage and like lose its momentum. Yeah. And it'll come back around a few. Because then everybody's relaxed. Nobody's like thinking that someone's going to like swipe and everyone's going to to swipe to.

To swipe on a like inhale from the audience where it's like where you're doing a scene and then someone swipes and basically the audience, you just hear the audience. you just hear the audience go like, like no laughs. Right. Right. Well, that's an audience that's really attuned to improv and probably studies improv. Right. Yeah.

And that's a lot of improv audiences. Which is why you like, you can sometimes really have them in the pocket when you're doing stupid, stupid, stupid stuff. Yeah. I always say like Liz Allen's been on this show a bunch. I like literally met her. she taught in Chicago when I was in college. And then she taught this improv group for Don't Think Twice. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. So, like, we've known each of her like years and years and years and she's an amazing improv coach. But I always tell people, even if you did like coaching with her like on Zoom or something, just as an exercise, it's so interesting because exactly the thing that this person is asking, which is like you've lost the plot. It's like, well, yeah, that's okay because you can just examine like, well, what's the pattern of the losing? of the plot. And which is a great exercise for like any art form.

Like that's good for writing. It's good for plays. It's good for painting. It's good for conversations. It's good for conversations. Like imagine if like you and a friend were conversing and then all of a sudden you stopped having an idea of what to say. Yeah.

You're just going to be, you're just going to get up and go. Yes. You're going to find something to say. That's right. Like something. So it's, I feel like it's completely helpful. I mean, God, I got to get some of the people that I've gone on dates with, like, fake an improv class. That's right.

I'm on a losing streak. Just write down their emails here. Yeah. Oh, you want to teach them. Oh, go to. I'll put them in touch of the list. Okay. Okay.

All right. I will send them an email. It's a long list. It'll be a link. Yeah. And of course, I have all of their emails. I prefer. Put down their URL.

Yeah, I prefer when I go to a bar. Of their blog. Yeah, of their blog. And when I go to a bar, I ask for people's emails. It's just safer. It's just safer. It's just safer. Wait, this pen is so fucked.

It's just safer. Yeah. This is insane. Kyle Jones 01, is Ben Marshall really that tall? Or is he lying? Tall? Yeah, he is tall. How would he be lying?

Like being on stilts? Yeah, like what kind of question is that? Well, he did get the surgery. He got the tall surgery. Yeah. He broke both of his shins. That's right. He did do the shin breaking surgery, yeah.

And basically it's kind of why he always wears his pants is because. Yes. Well, he doesn't want people see the scars. Yeah. I mean, and the scars are brutal, dude. It's like you don't want to see him. You get nauseous because they're open still. This is like torching all my friends.

Martin gets nervous before improv and Ben isn't actually a tall motherfucker. And John, don't get me started. Deidre. Dot Jean says, who are the three non-comedian celebrities you would want to try improv with? That's a really hard question. Because it'd be so bad. I feel like it'd be bad. I'd feel like it would be really fun to do it with people who, like, would have no clue what was going on.

I don't know. I mean. Like, people that are just serious, serious. Daniel Day Lewis. Daniel Day Lewis would be, is an amazing idea. I'm sure he'd be. No, he'd be. Sickening.

No, he'd be great. Sickening. No, I think, like, actually. Actually, that's the perfect answer, Daniel Day-Lewis, because it's like someone who has phenomenal commitment. That's all it takes for me. Yeah. To be in.

Yeah. To be like, if we start and all of a sudden, it doesn't have to be funny at all, but he's there and he's some, you know, crazy guy. Non-comedian celebrities. Who would you say? I mean, now I'm trying to think in that vein of what you're saying. like Daniel Lee Lewis. That's the thing that SNL does that's interesting

is they'll have like athletes on. And you're like, oh. Sometimes they rock for that reason. Sometimes it's not so great. Sometimes it's not so great. I think it's not so great when there's, if they've ever been told that they're like the funny one. Yeah.

If something's not going well, I'm like more reassured by that than if it is. And if someone's going in there being like, I know I'm going to crush. Yeah. There's like a feeling of like, ooh, you just really shot yourself in the foot here. No, completely. Huberous.

It's like if we showed up at the ice rink with the Olympic skaters and we're like, well, I do do a couple of tricks. You have not seen me on the ice, Mike. Oh, are you? I'm actually awful. I'm actually awful. We do a couple of our tricks first. But yeah, we're like, we do want to show you that we're good at something. It might not be this.

Yes. Okay. Now I'm trying to think like, okay, like my. I'm trying to think like, you know what I mean? Sean White. Sean White's an interesting one. He seems fun. You right?

Carrot top. I mean, I don't mean the comedian. I mean him, him as a character. I was thinking too, like someone on the news, somebody serious on the news. Don Lemon. Don Lemon. Don Lemon would be a good improviser. Brian Walters.

Wait, is that who I'm thinking of? Brian Williams? That. Ryan Williams. But Brian Williams, he's two. funny. He's another one in that space of like he whenever he's doing a comedy event, he's actually pretty funny. Yeah, we don't want that. We don't want funny. I actually, yeah, I want. We want Daniel Day Lewis and other people like Daniel Day Lewis. Maybe other serious actors.

Jeremy Strong. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Jeremy Strong is one. Yes. Jeremy Strong, Merrill Streep. I mean, like, oh, an old person. An old person. Not Merrill Streep. I mean like someone old, old, Right. Like, I was going to say Anne Roth is 90 or 92. Yeah. The customer. Who are like all those old guys who always play Gandalf? Ian McAllen's a great idea.

Yeah. We've nailed it. Yeah. Ian McAllen. Daniel and DeLewis. Yeah, Ian McCallin. I stand by Merrill Street, actually. Merrill Streep, Jeremy Strong.

And Sean White. Super group. And Michael Jordan. Yes, yes. No, I think, honestly, like, I want Michael Jordan in our improv scenes. Because, honestly, what we would... Actually, he would really make you. What we would do is we would set up a lot of basketball scenarios where he would be forced to do scenes, like, authentically.
