Hey, Portlandia fans.
Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.
You know us, or rather you know them.
Tony and Candice, Nina and Lance, Spike, and yes, the chicken.
We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years,
but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia, AEO rewatch,
our brand new podcast.
Each week, we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning,
breaking down the sketches, exploring the backstories of our most iconic characters,
revisiting the Portland locations you know and love,
and opening up about our creative process.
How did any of this get made?
Why do we think that was a good idea?
We're ready to talk about it.
And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life.
Guest stars, collaborators, and friends,
including director Jonathan Chryssel,
the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin,
legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.
You get married and you ask me to be the best man, essentially,
and to give the toast.
I look around and it is, it's all the aforementioned people, plus Tina Faye, plus you're marrying Elizabeth Moss.
This is the peak of Mad Men, you know, so it's like John Hamm, it's Matt Weiner, the creator of the show.
I mean, this is a very, like, stacked event. And I'm, I'm an indie musician, you know, and I give this toast.
It's comedic, it's heartfelt, and I kind of can't believe.
that I wasn't more scared.
But I did it, and I remember later
you telling me, like, you know,
that was kind of your audition for Lauren.
Lauren also told me later.
I'm sure he didn't realize it,
but it was, as it was happening,
he was like, oh, that's her audition.
Yeah, and I think what he realized
was, like, the show is actually reliant
on this chemistry.
It has to be these two people.
Like, it's, you know,
if it was you and someone from SNL,
that's a whole different show.
But this show, that's Fred and Carrie.
