A
Another episode of what's our Podcast. But first, a little special announcement from Becky and Kyle.
B
This is very big. This is.
A
It's very huge and big.
B
I think this is life changing for me.
A
Yeah. That's the way I feel. As long as it goes well.
B
Well, even if it doesn't, it is altering my life.
A
Yeah, it already has.
B
The big announcement is we are starting a patreon.
A
Yes. You're saying to yourself, oh, yes, it was.
B
You know, it was a risk. It was a swing to even start a podcast together back.
A
Yes, it was.
B
We didn't know what it is. We still are finding out what it is every single week when we come together with our guests. And when you and I sort of
A
mess around on the microphone, let's tell them what it is. For the first tier, Rocco, Basic tier.
B
It's five bucks a month. You're gonna get a bonus episode every week. No guest. Okay. It's just Beck and I doing what we've been doing Since September of 2003 when we first met each other.
A
For that tier, we have slopping out, which is just the two of us hanging out.
B
It's like our intro to our show.
A
Yeah. But it's longer. We can go into bits longer.
B
We can also be earnest. Learn about each other's lives.
A
Yes. Catch up for longer. Or we also have what's yous Podcast, where we take ideas from our Patreon members.
B
Yes.
A
At a certain tier, at the $10 tier, which is the next tier. We take your ideas and we try that podcast out. Right, but you can pitch those ideas at the $10 tier.
B
Yes. Once you get to the $10 tier, premium rock, which we're calling Rocco Premium.
A
Rocco Premium.
B
That's where you actually get to pitch the ideas that we will do on our podcast. You're also gonna get access to an exclusive chat. A chat room.
A
Yes.
B
The Discord. The Rocco Discord, where you can talk with other fans, other listeners. Probably kind of do your own little bits. Make some friends. Maybe. Maybe you can grab. Grab dinner or coffee with one of them sometime.
A
Also with the $10 tier, you get access to. You get to see our. What we're calling our sillies.
B
Yes. These are little videos. You know, we came up making videos together. Full circle. Because now you and I are just gonna make a little video we already started. Get a little iPhone, make a little video, play some characters, do some bits.
A
Just come up with an idea and pop it right off and just shoot it.
B
Yeah. We don't need to labor over it.
A
Yeah, exactly. We just kind of have fun and pump it out to our Rocco's. You know what I mean?
B
I know exactly what you mean. I love it.
A
Yes.
B
For 15 bucks, you get all that stuff, plus you get free access to our new ticketed live stream. So, like, we will talk to you directly. You can ask us questions. We'll be doing these quarterly throughout the year.
A
We might do poppers there. We don't know yet. It's only going to be legal stuff, but we're going to have fun to do poppers. Yes. And here's the thing for Rocket supreme, if you sign up for a full year, you'll get a side headshot of me and Kyle. We don't know, but it's going to be an amazing family heirloom that you get and you can, you know, frame it and put above the fireplace or something or something like that.
B
It is really going to be fun. I think it's going to be a place to see some really weird, wild, and crazy stuff where we just get
A
to do whatever we want without really caring. So. Yeah. So go to patreon.com what's our podcast? And join today, please.

A
What's our Podcast? What's it gonna be all about? Tell us what's our podcast? What should we talk about with Beck and Kyle?
B
What's up, everybody?
A
I'm Beck Bennett. Welcome to what's Our Podcast?
B
The show where we have no idea what our podcast should be about because we're not podcasters. We're actors.
A
We don't want to be doing producers, writers. We're forced to do this. Yes. Because of the.
B
The.
A
The. The way the industry has changed. We're trying to adapt Pandemic, followed by
B
the writer strike, followed by the actor strike.
A
Not to mention we have kids now. We can't just be flying all over the place.
B
I called back up, I said, dude, what are we doing? I don't know what to do.
A
I was like, I don't know either.
B
And then it was like, you expect me to know? Our agent, Our.
A
Our agent, AJ Leone.
B
Aj.
A
Aj.
B
Leon got in touch with us and. And he said, we got.
A
We got in touch with him.
B
He caught in touch with us. He said, you guys should start a podcast. We're like a pod. What? I had never heard of them. Yeah, because I had. Somebody told me it's from iPhone.
A
I was like the ipod.
B
Ipod.
A
I was like, yeah. I was like. I was like, we're supposed to make ipods now.
B
I know. I was like, I'm not Steve. Steve Jobs.
A
I'm not Steven Jobs.
B
And so I didn't know what it was. I heard as a podcast. Like a broadcast for the ipod.
A
Yes.
B
Which is two is already a tongue twister. I'm like, I pass this for a piece. For what? And so.
A
Wait, that is crazy.
B
An ipod.
A
Yes. Well, I just learned about this yesterday podcast in Nicole Byers podcast sitting here yesterday.
B
Okay. That's. That's sort of one of those.
A
That synchronicity that's like, this is haunted. This studio is haunted. So what were you saying?
B
So I had never heard them.
A
Yeah.
B
And. And I got a list of what podcast to check out.
A
Yeah.
B
So I immediately checked out the Friends of Mine. Friends behind.
A
Oh, yeah. With Jason.
B
Jason. I think Jason Kelsey. I listened to Allison Bright's Bright Nights podcast, which I thought was really interesting because it's. It. What I liked is that it was.
A
Nights are not that bright. Right. Bright nights. It's like a play.
B
It's a play on words, but it's. Yeah. It's about kind of. Yeah, yeah. Lights and cities and kind of how we're sort of getting away from the natural skies and all that sort of thing, but with a comedy. Ben. Which, like, I related to.
A
Yeah.
B
And then I listened to. Which you actually recommended. It was Blast Off.
A
Oh, Bottom Blast Off.
B
Bottom Blast off with Charlie Toilet.
A
Yeah. It's talking about all the different restaurants and what it does to your bottom.
B
Yes. I was not aware of Charlie Toilet, but he's apparently, even before podcasting, he had a radio show.
A
Oh, yeah. John Toilet did Bottom Blast off. Yeah. On KCRW FM, I think.
B
Right.
A
KCR. And he's KCR 1, 2, 3, or something like that.
B
But nobody's ever seen him. They just know that.
A
Right. That he's. That he's a.
B
Like, he'll walk into these restaurants. They're like, oh, I think that's Charlie Toilet.
A
Everybody's always, like, in Hollywood.
B
Sometimes they catch a whiff. I think that might be Charlie Toilet. But you never. You're never sure. So I listen to that podcast. By the end, I had listened to every single podcast.
A
Sounds like three, maybe.
B
And I said, beck, I think we could do this. And Beck said, okay, but what is our podcast? And I said, that's it.
A
Yes. I remember this now.
B
What's our podcast? We bring on guests. We have them.
A
It's about what Our podcast should be about. And then we give it a shot. And, and that's the podcast. It's not about actually finding the podcast. It's about being open minded and like, slip, you know, getting into our, getting into our guests and them getting into us and us trying new things.
B
And like, let's not do this, like, oh, a sit down interview. Oh, and how did that feel like.
A
Yeah, and how did, and like, what did you feel like? What did that feel like?
B
And what was it like working with. Yeah, Jamie Aaron. Aaron, Jamie Doran. Yeah, let's not do that. Let's rip with them. Let's ask some industry questions, ask some personal questions. But then let's also have fun, hear their idea for the podcast and bring them in to do a podcast that they pitched with them.
A
I think we already went over that,
B
but I was just going back because I feel like our listeners would love to know the history.
A
Yes, yes. So that is the full audio history, the, what do they call it? The, you know, oral history.
B
The oral history. Yes.
A
That is the oral history of what's our podcast.
B
I've never heard a podcast.
A
Yeah. And I had never heard a podcast oral history before.
B
Yeah.
A
So that's how you been? Not good.
B
It's, it's crazy. It's crazy out there and the industry
A
is changing and that's why we're doing the pod. No, it's really, it's. I, I, this is a bright, bright sign of my day. And, you know, it's, it's, it's really hot out there. How you doing, man?
B
How you doing?
A
How you doing? Good for you, man. No, but it's great.
B
Same, same. Just still trying to sort of find out who I am after snl.
A
Yeah.
B
Because that was such an amazing opportunity. I did nine years there.
A
Yeah, you were like the cut for time guy there.
B
Cut for time Kyle. They call for time Kyle.
A
And now you're kind of like.
B
And now, you know, I tried, I tried. I started sort of try to get my hands, you know, messy in different avenues and trying different things. But yeah, nothing, nothing is really clicking.
A
And it's been incredible to see you get your hands messy. Like, you just like shove your hands into all sorts of, like, you know, goo and, and, and you're like, yeah,
B
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
I like, I will see you walking and, and you'll just have these, these like sort of brown, red, greenish goo. Like, I'm thinking it's sort of dripping off my hands. Yeah. Dripping off your hands. And you're kind of sweating you're kind of running around in a panic, but you've been, you know, you're trying to figure it out and you're doing the work.
B
Yeah, that's. That's the only thing I know how to do. And, you know, one of these days, I hope. I hope to not have to stick my hand in all that hands and all that stuff. But what am I gonna do?
A
Bear Grylls dirtiest jobs.
B
Ah, that doesn't mean shit. It's kind of Bear Grylls dirtiest job.
A
Oh, is that somebody who does dirty jobs? Yeah. You had the show Dirty Jobs.
B
I don't know,
A
but somebody's gotta do it. Somebody's got to do the dirty job.
B
How's. How. What's your favorite job?
A
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
B
What's a story from your life?
A
Okay.
B
Okay. Story that you learned about.
A
I. I got something. I got something to talk. I want to ask you about.
B
Okay. I got. I. I've got a story, too.
A
Okay. I don't know if it's a story.
B
Okay.
A
Knucklehead. The term knucklehead.
B
Okay.
A
Did your dad say that a lot growing up?
B
Hey, knucklehead.
A
Hey. Get to bed, you knuckleheads. Jesse brought that up to me the other day, and I was like, wow, knucklehead. Knucklehead is a fun word for idiot.
B
Yeah.
A
And so is ding dong. I think ding dong is coming back. People call him being like, don't be such a ding dong. In a fun way.
B
Yeah, knucklehead.
A
And knucklehead was something that I think was a prevalent. Yeah, her dad used it a lot,
B
and it was sort of disappeared with it during, like, during the year. Oh, I thought.
A
I thought it was earlier than that. No, I think it was probably earlier by that, but yeah. Yeah.
B
I. I don't know. My dad used it. I feel like that's sort of more like uncle energy or like, kind of like dad's friend would look at these. These three knuckleheads. Yeah.
A
Yeah. Your dad was a little bit more respectable.
B
Yeah.
A
A little more buttoned up.
B
But I just think it's.
A
It's a great. It's a great term, knucklehead. And I do think it's like, oh, that was like. That was a. A word from my past. Like, it was just a ubiquitous knucklehead, and now it's just, like, gone. It's totally gone.
B
Yeah. And I don't know that. To me, a knucklehead isn't somebody who's stupid person?
A
No, it's more like Rascal.
B
Yeah.
A
Kind of like troublemaker.
B
Like, what are these guys up to? A little Knucklehead.
A
Can we. Can we look up Knucklehead?
B
Can we meet the original? Can we. Yeah. Can you see if they're who the original Knucklehead was?
A
And let's see if it's a bad. If it comes from a bad place.
B
Yeah. Cancel culture.
A
Cancel. Yeah.
C
Wow. What Originated in the late 19th century.
A
Wow.
C
All the way back to 1869.
A
Okay.
B
Okay.
A
So they remember the year 1869.
B
Yeah. 18 years old. 69ing for the first time.
A
Yeah, that's probably.
B
That was me.
C
RF Knucklehead was a character in training posters during World War II. Literal meaning being Bonehead. Oh, like, your head is filled with knuckles.
B
He's back. He. He was trained, but he was bad at training. He probably wasn't good at the military. Okay.
A
Okay. Well, it came from RF Knucklehead. You got any stories for me, brother? You bet your life.
B
Yeah. Well, I told this the other day. Oh.
A
Oh, no, this is actually. That's actually listeners.
B
There is the. The microphone, which is what we use to record sound. They have. It fell apart, and there was, like a.
A
There's a connector. You ripped it off. You're jerking it around.
B
I told this. I mentioned this the other day, but not on Mike. And you've heard me tell this story.
A
Okay.
B
I don't know that I've told it on the podcast.
A
Okay.
B
When I lost my tooth.
A
Okay. Oh, yeah.
B
Did I tell him on the podcast?
A
You did, yeah. You talked about, well, how you put your tooth in your ear and you had to go to the hospital.
B
I don't think I told it on Mike.
A
Did you not. Ooh. Michelle doesn't remember everything we've said on Mike.
C
I think you did, and I think that story happens in the future.
B
Oh, interesting. I. I thought that that was off, like, in between. Oh, you know what?
C
I think it was, because it was. You're talking about the tooth fairy.
B
Yeah, exactly.
A
Okay.
C
I think it might have been off Mike. Think you're right.
A
Okay. Off mic in the future. So on mic in the present, I lost my tooth.
B
I was in third grade, and in an effort to sort of fool the tooth fairy, I was questioning whether the tooth fairy existed.
A
Yeah.
B
I decided to put my tooth in my ear because I thought, well, if the tooth fairy is real, they'll be able to find it in my ear. But then I ended up with a tooth stuck inside of my Ear.
A
Yeah. And you had to go to the hospital.
B
And I called my mom and dad up and I was like, oh, Mom, Dad, I took. I put my tooth in my ear.
A
You called them?
B
I called them up from downstairs. I was.
A
So this happened like, last week?
B
That's actually mean.
A
This happened last week.
B
You know for a fact it did not.
A
I was busting your balls. I was totally messing that up.
B
Being a knucklehead is what you're being.
A
Yeah, well, yeah, I guess. Yeah. It takes one to know it. No, I do. I am sorry about you, about everything that. What's that?
B
It wasn't a thing that happened last week.
A
I know. When you were in third grade. Third grade. And I'm sorry that that happened to you.
B
Am I allowed to start over or do.
A
No, we are going. This is one of the loosest we've ever even been.
B
Okay.
A
Is the tooth still in your ear?
B
Well, so. So my dad drove me to the er.
A
Okay.
B
And you have to sign in and say what your problem is.
A
Okay.
B
And I said. I told the person working the desk, yeah, I put my tooth in my ear.
A
God, the shame.
B
And they're like, oh, wow, okay, just put that down there. And I start talking to the person next to them. Put his tooth in his ear.
A
Put his tooth in his room. Put his tooth in his ear.
B
Everybody's pointing at me. That's the guy.
A
That's a guy. Put his tooth in his ear.
B
Doctor comes out 20 minutes later, 30 minutes later, says, you know, we always have kids sticking things in there.
A
Ears and buttholes and their wing wings.
B
Never seen anybody put a tooth in their ear.
A
That's what he said. Yeah.
B
Took a pair of tweezers, immediately took. Took it out. It was so easy for him. And then I go to bed.
A
Yeah.
B
I wake up, I go down the stairs. There's a note from the tooth fairy. And it says, hey, Kyle. Heard you had a. Interesting night last night.
A
Yeah.
B
Here's a little something for your trouble. And there was like, you know, a dollar or two. The handwriting. Clearly my mother's. God. This happened last week.
A
I think you said it happened in third grade.
B
No.
A
Oh, so you were. You were protecting yourself. You were embarrassed that it happened last night?
B
No, it did happen in third grade.
A
Okay.
B
I just thought that would be like an amazing, like, whoa.
A
Like a little twist.
B
M. Night Shyamalan.
A
Yeah. Like, I see dead people. Well, I'm glad that you got the tooth out of your ear. I. I've never done anything like that. So I.
B
It was. It is Stupid. It is a very stupid thing that somebody did.
A
No, I think it's smart. I think it's a great trick.
B
It's like, it's possible that doctor is now like, you know, he's at a dinner party and they're like, so you work in the er. That must be. You must see the craziest thing.
A
What's the dumbest thing you've ever seen? I.
B
There was a child who put a tooth in his ear.
A
Oh, my God. Oh, what an idiot.
B
And he smelled.
A
Oh, my gosh. Did he wear socks? Nope, no socks. Just slipping his feet right in his shoes.
B
His little nine year old was out too.
A
Wow, that's a really. That would be a great story.
B
Yeah.
A
No, but do you ever think that,
B
that like, these doctors and therapists are going. Going to dinner parties?
A
Oh, yeah. They're allowed to talk about us, but
B
they just can't use our names?
A
I think so. But they kind of just whisper it, right? Yeah, as long as they whisper it. But you know, they're. They're ripping us to shreds. Absolutely. Now go for it.
B
Ask me anything.
A
Okay, I do have a question for you.
B
I'm an open book, so I've never lied.
A
What? Never told you never told a lie?
B
Not. Not since I've been alive.
A
Okay, that sounds like a lie, but I'll take your word for it. When you.
B
Yeah.
A
Back in college, you didn't have glasses, you didn't have the long hair, you didn't have the glasses. Then you grew the long hair.
B
Okay, I feel like this has come
A
up before you got the glasses.
B
Okay.
A
Did you start.
B
And you.
A
You basically were a different type then. At that point, I would say Beg
B
is putting his director's brain on. Where did you make an active choice?
A
Well, did you like. I mean, we all make changes to our appearance, but did you like, notice that there was.
B
That there was like a lane for me to.
A
Yeah. Did you like start writing to. To that more specifically? Like, you know what I mean? Like, I just feel like when we started out making stuff, you were all. You were like giving you. You would have an idea, like even like Australian bokeh. Wait, what is the actual name of the sketch?
B
Outrageous Fun.
A
Outrageous Fun. Like, that was your idea. But I could do an Australian accent.
B
Right.
A
So that was like. I played that character. Or like Pitch was a care was a sketch we wrote when we were freshmen.
B
Yeah.
A
And it was based on a friend of your dad's and I was Pitch and you played the younger kid. Because I could play older and you could play younger. Right. But I just feel like at some point, you. Your style, you changed, and then you also started. It seemed like you started writing to that image more or something, which I think is maybe it's just coincidental. Maybe you were just growing.
B
Yeah.
A
But I do feel like, you know, at some point people, like, you want to look like the characters that you can play. And I was just wondering if, like, having a certain look just allowed you more freedom. I don't know.
B
As, like, creatively, there was no active choice I made. At some point in high school, I wore glasses seldomly.
A
Yeah.
B
And same for. At the beginning of college. I had. I would wear them when I drove. But then you're in class and, like, at some point, it's like, I can't really see the movie. I was watching movies all the time and, like, looking at boards and, like, I really couldn't survive anymore without wearing my glasses. I need to start wearing them all the time. So I committed to wearing glasses at some point.
A
Okay.
B
And.
A
And that's when your hair.
B
There was. I dated a person who said, I like you with long hair.
A
Oh, really? And then I just kept looks great.
B
And then. And then I. Because I didn't really. Then the curls came.
A
Oh, wow. You didn't. It was. I mean, the curls came with. There.
B
But, like, I never. Yeah. Until I feel like I was. I didn't even, really, like, realize I had curly hair.
A
So maybe if I grew my hair long, I'd get curly hair.
B
You might.
A
That'd be cool.
B
But that was very nice of what you're saying. I do think that, you know, you definitely came to the Australian sketch. You. I remember us. I had an experience that I was drawing from, and I was like, oh, I think there's a bit here. But then I remember us going into, like, an empty classroom and, like, improvising a version of that sketch before we ever wrote it. So, like, it wasn't. I don't. I. I. I'll take. I'll take a majority of the credit. Sure. But I also want to share the credit. And obviously, like, the performance does a lot of the work, but also, like, there was a collaborative component to the writing of it as well.
A
Yeah. Yeah. But, like, I feel like, you know, I. If you had never grown your hair long, like, if you didn't.
B
Right.
A
Like, like, I just saw a photo of us from freshman year. You had short hair, no glasses. Yeah. Like, just the characters you play, whether it's like, the Stoner 420 or, like, Chris Or Todd, wait. Yeah, you're. Wait, you're Casey. You're Todd.
B
I'm done.
A
You're done. Or, like, just, like, sports. Sporty. Right. Like, she's, like, weird, like, little creature. Guys. Right? Where you're like. Or even your awkward interview. Yeah. Like, you know, I think that the way you look really serves those parts.
B
Oh, thanks.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. Not something I. Not something I put a lot of thought.
A
Interesting.
B
I mean, there. Yeah, they're definitely parts that, like, you kind of can't. I had. I had an audition recently for, like, a cop character or a detective or something like that.
A
Yeah.
B
And I had this hair, and I had, like, a full beard.
A
Yeah.
B
And they're like, I didn't want to shave my beard, and so I put my hair in a ponytail. Like, sort of just trying to imply, like, okay, there's something you could do here. Right?
A
Yeah.
B
But I didn't shave my beer. And it's, like, probably hard to even imagine, like, what I look like. If you were to, like, kind of fully chop me up. You know what I'm saying?
A
Yeah. Like, with that, it would have to become a joke of the character that doesn't look like a cop.
D
Right.
A
So I guess.
B
I guess I'm just showing you the other side that, like, yeah, sure, I can play some. These roles, but there are roles that this sort of immediately cuts you out of. Yeah.
A
Yeah. Well, you're doing great, I think.
B
Yeah.
A
I love the stuff, man. I love the old stuff.
B
Right?
A
You don't.
B
You don't like our Patreon?
A
I actually Love our Patreon.
B
Www.patreon.com. what's our podcast?
A
Go check out the Patreon calls songs where you praying.
B
You pitch us the idea. What you think. Our podcast.
A
We try it, we just slop out.
B
I think we're gonna do a new page. I think we're gonna record a Patreon episode today where we play Can I say what it is?
A
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
B
Newlywed Game. So we'll see how well we know each other.
A
Yes. And who knows when this comes out or that comes out or whatever. Producers. Yeah. Not us.
B
You're keeping tabs on when everything's supposed to come out.
A
Yeah. So maybe it's already come out at this point.
B
It's already.
A
I would love for this to be, like, the thing.
B
Yeah. This is like, your home base sort
A
of a little bit. It is fun. I don't know. I think I like what I'm doing. Yeah. I think I. I do. Like, there was a period where I was going from, like, role to role in movies and TV and, like, just doing projects that I liked, and that was very fun. But it does also take me away from where I live and my family, and I don't like that. So I really like being able to do. Act in things pretty consistently, but never so much where I'm, like, the lead of a show where I have to, like, go away for three months or, like, I'm totally busy for three months. I. I like having this here and being. Being silly and great guest. And then I also like to Adam
B
Scott, it's going to be an interesting episode because he's actually. What do you want to do into the studio?
A

B
Great.
A
Great. This is. Let's say hi.
B
What's our podcast? We do not know what need to go. Please.
A
We don't. We're like, we. We don't want to go too long. So this is the first time we FaceTime with a guest and get an idea for our podcast. And this is what it looks like. Yo,
B
This podcast is brought to you by. God, I love those Fabletics. Oh, God. All right, now that it's finally spring, I've been outside a lot more, walking, making plans, traveling a bit, just doing more in general.
A
And every time this season hits, I realize I want clothes I can actually keep up with.
B
Yeah.
A
With that. But without updating your wardrobe. Every spring gets expensive fast.
B
Yeah, that's. Honestly, I started looking for a better option and found out you can sign up for Fabletics as vip.
A
What the hell are you doing? You Imbecile.
B
You're getting too carried away. Sorry. They're never gonna Fabletics product and they're amazing. And I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time. And I finally got the chance.
A
Stay cool, brother.
B
Okay.
A
Please.
B
Please, let me say what I want to say.
A
All right?
B
Get it out. Please let me say what I want to say.
A
Get it out, you sick son of a bitch.
B
That's. Honestly, I started looking for a better option. I found out you can sign up for Fabletics as a vip, which completely changed how I shop this time of year. New VIPs unlock major savings on that first purchase, so trying new pieces feels way more doable. Dude, I want to be a Fabletic VIP.
A
When I signed up as a VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off everything. It made it easy to grab a few pieces without overthinking it. The quality really surprised me. Everything feels premium, soft, breathable, and built to last. But you're not paying those premium prices. Like, I used to wear other shorts, and I was getting these rashes. Kyle Itchers Jock. What do you call it? Jock Itch.
B
Yeah, that sounds right.
A
You know, I was getting all wet, and I was wearing these clothes that couldn't breathe and couldn't wick moisture and. And dry off. So I was getting incredible rashes. And ever since I've been wearing Fabletics, I'm as smooth as penguin. Smooth as a penguin down there.
B
Well, keep going. Let's see what else you have to say.
A
It's just like, they're versatile, right? So it's. I. That's the thing I like the most. You know, you've got pieces you can work out in, but also wear out. So it's like. Because I used to go out in my workout clothes, and that's why I was getting the rashes. But now I wear breathable clothes and I can work out and go out in them, and it's just really nice. It's the kind of stuff you can throw on in the morning and not think about it again, you know? Do you have any. Any sort of thing you want to add to the Fabletics?
B
No, Please keep going.
A
I mean, I have more to say. Okay.
B
So the other thing I want to
A
say is this kind of thing is. It's perfect timing right now.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah. Because with Nurses Week coming up.
B
Wait, what?
A
Yes. Nurses Week is coming up, as we all know. You didn't know about Nurses Week.
B
I haven't gotten my. I haven't gotten the nurse in my life. A Single dang thing.
A
Yeah, I. Well then you're going to want to listen to this. I found out Fabletics actually has scrubs too. Ding, ding, ding. Which I didn't even realize at first. So if you're a healthcare provider or you have someone in your life who is. They're running a really good offer right now. New VIPs can get scrub set for just 15. That is so cheap. This is honestly just made me appreciate the membership even more. All this stuff.
B
It's vip.
A
It's vip. It's nurses week. It's everything. It's. It's not just activewear and loungewear. I want to say it again. It really is a one stop shop. You can put it on in the morning, work out and go out with your friends, party all night. You can get your everyday sets, your comfy pieces, even your scrubs. You don't have to be a nurse to wear scrubs by the way. It's a cool look.
B

A
That's way. That's so much off. I just can't believe it.
B
This podcast is brought to you by Ridge. Isn't that the name of your nephew?
A
Yeah, it is, but I don't think he bought an ad on our podcast. I have one question. Okay. How is it possible that we just sent astronauts into space, but we need a different cord to charge every single device we use every day here on Earth?
B
Kind of conspiratorial here.
A
Yeah. I'm like, what is that?
B
Well, here's the good news.
D
Really?
B
This is.
A
Are you serious? You have good news?
B
Yeah. That insanity is over thanks to Ridge, my nephew. Yep. Just like Ridge revolutionized the wallet.
A
I don't think he did, but.
B
Well, if you're. If you're talking to him on the phone, you might be hearing about this. Ridge has now changed the game for portable charging. Ridge's five in one. I love this five in one travel power bank has built in cables and lets you charge all of your devices at the same time with just one power bank. Five in one.
A
Whoa. Ridge, dude, I'm so proud of you. Yeah, I didn't like my.
B
I just Wish you'd talk to me a little more, Uncle B.
A
Well, you're busy. You're like doing so well with soccer. I facetimed you the other weekend and you were out playing a game.
B
Yeah, well, try harder.
A
Okay, you're right. I should try harder. But Magsafe wireless charging. But Apple watch charging, Lightning USB C, every way you need to charge, all in one premium device. No more juggling adapters and wall outlets at the airport just to get to 20%.
B
Okay, 20 watts of power charges your phone as fast as it possibly can. Whoa. We're gonna charge this phone. Hey, how you doing? Yeah, not bad, thanks. No, I'm all charged up. Oh, that was a little too fast. Oh my gosh. He's a one minute man. And with 10,000 milli milliamp hours capacity, you've got up to three full phone chargers charges in your pocket. Wow, that's amazing. It has magsafe compatible wireless charging so you can keep it magnetically attached to the back of your iph. You want some permanent extra juice?
A
That Permanent extra juice? That's my nickname.
B
Yes. I. We don't.
A
That's the name of my memoir.
B
Permanent extra Juice.
A
That's.
B
That's a cool memoir.
A
Yeah, it's. It's definitely.
B
I don't want to hear any more about it.
A
It's been pretty good with the ladies.
B
What do you mean? I do actually want to hear more about it.
A
The nickname Permanent extra juice.
B
Oh, I see what you're saying.
A
Yeah.
B
You always have a little extra juice.
A
I think so.
B
I see. And the newest iPhone just dropped, so make sure you pair it with a power bank that actually keeps up. Like everything Ridge makes, it's built to last. With free shipping, a 99 day risk free trial and a lifetime warranty, this is the last power bank you'll ever need.
A
One thing to pack five ways to power.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
You can find ridges power banks. Yes, from the movie. Or our listeners can get 10% off@rich.com by using code Beckand Kyle at checkout. Okay, you're just gonna want head to check on. Go. Go on to ridge.com and use Beck and Kyle and you're all set. After your purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them. Please, guys, this is the important part. Everything else has been.
B
We're sometimes we're having fun. We're messing around. We're doing bits like. Just listen to Beck right here.
A
Please tell Ridge. Please support our show and tell them our show sent you.
B
Don't tell them another show sent you.
A
Don't tell them that Hollywood Handbook sent you. Or smartless.
B
Please use the code, guys. The code is easy to remember. It's Beck and Kyle, just like our names.
A
And we need you to tell them, hey, Beck and Kyle sent me.
B
It's been. And then I've not been on SNL since 2022. Beck's not been on since 2021. Please just use the code.
A
Please use the code. Because if they find out that our listeners went to Ridge because of us, maybe Ridge, I don't know what they'll do.
B
Well, we could probably maybe get a sketch comedy show going with Ridge. And it's all about. And it's all sketches based on like charging your phone and stuff like that.
A
When you go. When you use the promo code for Ridge, please tell them that you would like to see the Ridge, Beck and Kyle sketch show become a reality. So then we can finally make. Start making sketches again. All the sketches that weren't made at snl, we've got a lot of we want to do with Ridge and I.
B
I'm already like coming up with ideas for like, how to make like, how it has to do with like charging your phone and stuff. I've already got ideas.
A
I'm already thinking of a character named Penis Finger Fingers.
B
Funny.
A
And he's like trying to charge his phone.
B
It's like, he's like, which chord?
A
Which chord? And he's got these penis fingers.
B
And it's like, well, and the penis. Do the penis fingers have permanent extra juice?
A
Yes.
B
Hey, this is crazy.
A
Wait, this is. This is nuts. Dude. What's going on with you? Wow. FaceTime. This is our first time FaceTiming.
B
Oh my God.
A
Recordings in progress.
B
How are you?
D
I'm good. How are you guys doing?
A
We are fantastic.
D
How often are you guys in there making an episode? Is it like once a week? Is it like every day? Because I made a podcast for a while and I found it to be like way more work than I thought it would be.
A
It's truly wild. Look, we put out an episode every
B
week, but yeah, every week we're stockpiling and part of it is, you know, determined by when we're around both in town.
D
Right.
B
But now we've got the main feed, we've got a Patreon, we've got like all this bonus content. So it is. It's becoming a full time gig that really doesn't take care of ourselves or our families anything.
D
Right.
B
Because you hacked out.
D
Always be feeding the beast.
A
Yeah. And then the beast. You need to give it enough food, but, like, to get big, man.
D
The beast is hungry.
B
Yeah, but honestly, Adam, people are saying this might be the episode that sort of takes us over the top.
D
Oh, it'll, like, feed your families.
A
Great.
D
I never made $1 podcasting.
A
Yeah, people. People see us doing a podcast and they're like, cash grab. What are you talking about? I know it makes stops for money. This is. This is to kind of like, it is fun to have a daily place to come around and, you know, and mess around. But. But besides that, it's offering very little.
B
Yeah.
D
I found, like, it was, like, an excuse for me and Scott Aukerman to hang out. That's basically what it ended up being, was just a time to, like, hang out and shoot the shit.
A
Yeah. So hopefully we can. It can be. It can feed our families, us hanging out. I. I got some point. Bullshit.
B
Adam, at some point, we're going to ask you your pitch for what our podcast should be about. But before we do, I have a question for you.
A
And I.
B
And I feel bad. I always get nervous about, like, asking or talking about things that I feel like have probably been well covered in a person's time to impress or interviews or whatever.
A
Sure.
B
But. So forgive me if this is something that you get asked all the time.
D
You're forgiven.
B
Okay, thank you. Now, I feel like it's well documented that you sort of. You made this transition from dramatic acting to comedy acting, and you talk about how strip step brothers. Strep throat brothers. No, I'm with you.
A
He's just nuts up.
D
You're just around. I get it.
B
You know, that you. That. That was sort of like the. The moment where he started leaning more into comedy. But yeah, I mean, like, I first saw your work on Boy Meets World, and I remember, like, those first episodes when you came on and you were. You replaced the other bully character.
D
Harley.
B
Yes, Harley. I guess I'm curious, how old were you at that point?
D
When I did Boy Meets World. Yeah, I was probably 20. I was like, 21 or 22 when I did that. And did you know.
B
I mean, like, I guess as an actor, like, at that point in your career, like, what did you think of taking on a job like that? Because there were kids like me or, like, families that were, like, glued to the television, watching. I guess I'm just curious how that affected you, if you thought about that, if this is just another job.
D
At that moment, it was like, it wasn't just another job because it was one of my first jobs and it was a big deal. Just to, like. I remember walking onto that set and, like, everything was so clean and there was, like, these tables of food and everyone was, like, nice. And, like, I couldn't. I was like, this is so weird. This is like Disneyland or something. And the sets were all, like, sparkling clean. It was just. I never experienced something like that. But as far as, like, the show goes, I didn't know anyone because I was, like, in my early 20s. I didn't know anyone that knew what it was or watched it. And then it was on tv. And it's not like I knew anyone that had seen it or got recognized or anything until, like, 20 years later when all of you guys became old enough to be, like, have nostalgia about Boy Meets World. That's when I started getting, like, recognized for. It was like 15, 20 years afterwards.
A
That's crazy. Yeah.
B
Well, thank you for your.
D
For what you did.
A
Yes.
D
As Griff. As Griff Hawkins.
A
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
A
Not a lot. Now you are. Before we get your idea for our podcast, you are promoting a new horror movie. Yeah. All right.
D
Yeah. It's called Hokum Oakum.
B
I've.
A
I've seen stuff online that's like, it. It seems like an incredible, legitimately, incredibly scary, like, brilliant horror movie. I'm very excited to see it.
D
It's super scary. And you never know when you're making something if it's actually gonna end up working at all. But also if it's actually. If it's horror movie or whatever, you have no idea if it's actually going to be scary, because usually they're not. But this is super scary. I saw it in that theater with a bunch of people, and people were screaming and someone got up and walked out, not because they didn't like it, but because they were scared.
A
And. Oh, my God, that's so exciting.
D
It's really good. And it's really, really fun. It's a really fun night at the movies. Popcorn.
A
Yes.
D
You know, just sitting down with a tub of corn.
A
Oh, yes, A tub of corn. Kyle likes to. Kyle likes his unpopped.
D
Oh, shit. Yeah, you just crunch on those. On those rodules.
B
Like, the problem is that the kernels, you know, because they pop. You actually don't need that many kernels, so you only get about a quarter bucket full of kernels. You don't get a full bucket.
D
Oh, yeah, yeah.
A
And butter and salt.
B
Does it.
D
You put butter and salt on the unpopped kernels.
B
Yep. And piss and cum.
D
And you put piss and cum on them.
A
And then you.
D
You just throw them in your mouth.
B
Yeah. Just watch a movie.
D
That's so good. That's what I meant when I said a fun night out at the Matrix with some corn.
A
Adam, what if I can't wait to see it? I hope to be scaredless at the movie. When does it come out?
D
It comes out on May 1st in movie theaters.
A
Amazing. Everybody. Everybody got it.
B
Now, Wait. Yeah.
A
Now? Yeah. So our podcast. We don't know what our podcast should be about. What do you think our podcast should be about?
D
Well, I. Something that I find interesting and. And. And has always sort of held a place in my life. I'm just trying to figure out why I thought of this particular subject or word and I thought maybe slip ons.
A
Wow. That's great.
B
Yeah. And I feel like this has sort of been in the ether recently.
A
You were just yesterday talking about split bomb shoe guys, were you? Yeah, yeah, we just came up.
D
What were you saying about them?
A
We were just saying how great. How great they are. Like I kind of only want slip on shoes.
D
Yeah.
A
I don't want to be putting on socks and bending over and tying and untying my shoes.
B
Yeah.
D
So right there with you, brother.
A
Right. Amazing.
B
Just to. How often are you wearing slip ons? If at all?
D
Well, check it out. I. A few years ago I was watching Shark Tank and I. And I made a discovery and it's turned everything around for me. Which was a woman was on there selling or trying to sell elastic shoelaces, which when put on a pair of shoes, turns any pair of shoes into slip ons.
B
Wow. Oh, you know, I think that I feel like I remember shoes at SNL would sometimes have like elastic.
D
Yes, that they did. So you could get in and out of them super quick.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
So did you get these. Did you get these shoelaces?
D
I. I get them whenever I get a new pair of shoes. I find the elastic shoelaces that most resemble the ones that came with the shoes. I switch out every pair of shoes I get. So everything slip on.
B
That's awesome.
A
This is huge.
B
And you do it for like dress shoes as well?
D
No, No, I don't.
A
Okay.
B
Yeah, I know. That was a fucking suit.
A
Yeah. That was crazy. Nobody would do that.
D
A really stupid thing to say.
A
Okay.
B
And I apologize.
A
Not like always putting on dress shoes. They're like really fancy and.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
D
Sorry again.
A
Second apologies. Second classless. If I did that. Yeah. Wow. This is. Okay, so this is a great idea. And it's also a life changing kind of thing for us and our Audience potential.
D
I think it will change your life.
A
Yeah. Amazing. Great. And can we. Should we just talk about slip on shoes or can we. I mean, maybe I. If we can talk about slip on anything, so maybe we'll. Any will break it up. Okay.
B
I actually don't know what other slip on things exist.
A
Condoms.
D
That's what I was gonna say. Condoms.
A
Yeah, those are like the.
B
And Adam, I want to apologize. We've officially gone blue.
A
Yeah. Yeah, the bucket of unpopped kernels with cummin piss was not. Was not it. But this. This is it. Well, this is a great, great idea for a podcast. It could go anywhere. So.
D
Yeah, years of just subject matter. Years of content.
A
Years of content. All right, well, we're gonna. We're gonna let you go, and then we're gonna. We're gonna go and give this podcast a try. Well, it sounds great.
B
Sounds like you gotta have a great day.
A
Oh, thanks, you guys.

Yeah. I will often see you with a floppy.
B
Yes. I'm iconic. I'm. I don't want to say I'm iconic, but I mean, I actually have done, like, a lot from.
A
Like, you've actually done a lot, like, culturally. Yeah. In a way, like, you people could say that you're iconic, like in a certain realm.
B
Okay.
A
No, you are literally iconic.
B
But I, but like amongst people who know me, like. Yes. My shoelaces are constantly coming undone.
A
Even when you have a slip on. Even when I, These are slip ons with laces.
B
Oh, yeah. So I'm wearing, I'm wearing a Sperry boat shoe.
A
Yeah.
B
And yeah, they do have laces, which I, I, I, I wonder if there's one that exists without laces because I could do without the. My, my wife is always like, double knot them, but I'm like, I don't know, it, it seems intense to double knot this.
A
Now I double knot mine. Okay.
B
So I should just.
A
But I think it looks better with the single. But I don't know. I, I gotta be honest. We were talking, we were talking with our very good friend Adam Scott.
B
Yes. From Ghosted.
A
From Ghosted. And he told us, if you're watching this, you probably know that he told us that he gets the bungee cords.
B
Elastic.
A
The elastic laces. Yeah. From Shark Tank. And I'm definitely gonna get as many of those as possible and put them in everything. Would you put. Because the, the laces on a boat shoe are, are specific. They're like a. Yeah, it's like a,
B
it's almost like a baseball glove, actually.
A
Yeah.
B
Or like the baseball gloves have the little laces. Remember those?
A
Yeah. What is, what is that made out of?
B
Leather?
A
Is it leather? Yeah, they're like chunky. They're like, almost like.
B
Yeah, it's a little hairy too.
A
A little hairy. Little hairy. Leather, laces, pegs. They're kind of hard to tell.
B
They're almost like rectangular, Right?
A
Yes. I was going to say, I was gonna say square.
B
And this would, I gotta say these laces would make a good. This would be a fun pasta noodle.
A
Yes, it would. It would. Actually. Don't know if we have a pasta noodle like that. It would probably end up. Once it got cooked, it would end up getting kind of round around the sides. Yeah. But would you replace those laces with some synthetic or whatever, you know, bungee cords, the elastic laces.
B
The answer is no. And here's, here's why.
A
I have a feeling I'd say the same. Even though those laces irritate me, that's
B
the, well, yeah, to me, the elastic laces make more sense for like a proper tennis shoe. That's what I think you're, that's the hack you're getting. That's the cheat that you don't need that you can sort of stretch them out because these I can already slip on.
A
Right. You get them at a certain spot and you slip them on. What about. What about like, have you ever thought about, you know, cut. Cutting those down and just do like, you know, sort of tying a knot on each lace? Now that would look kind of weird, I was gonna say, you know, so they don't go through the hole, but it's like just kind of set at a certain.
B
Never thought about that.
A
Yeah.
B
I never once thought about it.
A
Now what if.
B
But you're getting me thinking. And I'm thinking like, because I remember when we were kids, this is such. I'm having one of those moments where you're like, whoa. You're being transported to when you were like a little tyke.
A
Yes.
B
Do you ever have those? And it's like, I haven't thought about that in a minute.
A
Yep. And I go back in my time. It's like, go back in the time
B
there is an object that existed or objects. I've not thought about this. I'm like. I mean, taken back, like, it's like exactly. Going through the time machine.
A
Pogs.
B
Yes. Pogs were from back in the day.
A
Pogs. Yeah. Yeah.
B
And slammers.
A
And slammers.
B
Yeah. There were like, for kids maybe who hadn't learned how to tie their shoes, there were some sort of like clips you could put.
A
Yeah.
B
And maybe they were also sometimes branded
A
and they were like little monsters.
B
Yeah. Is that what they were?
A
Yeah. Rochelle, could we like.
B
Rochelle, could you take us back to the year 1991?
A
Can you go in the little time machine have there on your desk and. Yeah. Take us back to 1991.
B
But you know, enough about me and my sperries.
A
Yeah, well, I will. I. I do want to ask. Cuz we love. I love a slip on. I have some boat shoes.
B
Yeah.
A
And you know, I wear them occasionally. But like, as we all know, like, I used to wear Sperry boat shoes back in the day.
B
We didn't all know that, but like
A
there are some photos. Like it was the only shoe that I wore.
B
Okay.
A
So if I wear Sperry boat shoes again, are you going to be mad at me?
B
No, I'm not. And. And you know, but. And you know, I used to wear. And this is sort of about evolution.
A
Right, Right.
B
I feel. What do you have any idea of like what I was consistently wearing throughout
A
my 30s old school? Like retro LA gear sneakers for a long time.
B
Exactly. LA Gear. Specifically there was a moment where I was like kind of. I had Reebok Pumps for, like, For a minute, but.
A
And then I got more into sneakers.
B
Yeah. I transitioned out of them because, like, tying shoes is. It's. That is. And if we're talking about efficiency over the course of the day, that is something that is getting. It's. It's getting into. It's taking away from the hours I have and the minutes and the time. You know what I mean? In terms of the work I need to do, I can't be spending time tying my shoes.
A
Yeah.
B
And untying them and trying to slip my foot in there with the.
A
Right. All that. Right.
B
So that's part of the reason why I committed to slip ons.
A
Yeah. Well, you know, I think it's. Slip on. Slip on is a lifestyle that I'm trying to. I'm trying to get more slipped on. Yeah.
B
Well, talking about. You got the. You got the classic vans. These are. And I.
A
Back at it again. These are my damn Daniels. Yes. Damn, Daniel. Back at it again with the white vans is the classic line. They're a little.
B
Can I spell them?
A
Yeah, man. Something you're kind of obsessed with, so. Yeah.
B
Oh, it's my thing.
A
Smell my feet. Let me see. Let me get it with. Doesn't smell like popcorn. I'll tell you how much.
B
Okay.
A
This has got a rubber smell to it. Because they're for their vans.
D
That's.
A
Thank you.
B
He said senku.
A
Senku, senku. Stanky, Stanky.
B
Okay. Just to give.
A
Now these are.
B
These are a little tight flavor for the audience here. So here's what we have. We've got. You've got a little bit of. You still have. He's retained some of the new shoes smell, but it's tainted.
A
It's, like tainted with my feet.
B
Yeah. So it's like, what's. It's not the foot. It's not. We're. We're like, not leaning. Whereas my shoes probably lean into. I mean, actually smell like. Yeah, they smell like this. You could still smell the leather.
A
Yeah, yeah. The leather's a better smell. It ages better than the rubber.
B
Yeah. I think both of our shoes. We're at a place where it's like the foot odor hasn't taken over completely. You still get a smell of that, you know, original interior.
A
Yes, yes, yes. So. All right. Do you have any other slip ons?
B
Thanks for asking.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what? I think every few years, I'll be in a situation where I'll buy flip flops.
A
I have rainbow flip flops.
B
Flip flop. A flip flop. Flip flip flop. Let me Try. Let me try that one more time. A flip flop. A flip flop flop. A flip flop. Flopped. Flopping.
A
Okay.
B
Flying and flopping. Flying fairies.
A
Rochelle, call the doctor. Call doctor. Call Dr. Herman immediately, please, and tell him to bring his. His. His. You want his sledgehammer? His. His crowbar and.
B
Dr. Herman here. I know you are. What AM I.
A
Hey, Dr. Herman.
B
It's Herman.
A
It's Peter Herman.
B
Very.
A
Paging Dr. Herman. Wait, is that from the movie?
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Paging Dr. No. Wait, is that. Is that at the desk? And it's like his line in the movie within the movie that seems. And he's like. And he's got a deep. He's like, overdubbed. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool.
B
Wait, sorry, what was your question?
A
What's your favorite slip on? Did you have any other slip?
B
Oh, no, we were talking about. We were talking about flip flops. You're going in about your.
A
Yeah. And you were. Flip flop, flip flopping, plop flop, flip flop goes the drip drop on the flip flop.
B
Flipped and hopped, flipping and flying.
A
No, that was really.
B
I'm trying to come up with tongue twisters.
A
I know. No, I, I. When it goes drip drop, I don't wear my flip flop because I flippy, flippy, flippy, flippy flop, drip drop.
B
Okay. When it goes drip drop, I flip flop my hip hop tip top the flip flop Hip hop rap, hip hop,
A
rap, hip hop rap. Yeah, yeah, that's. That's what you. That's what you want to do if you're warming up your vocal. Yeah.
B
Flip flops I like, but, yeah, I kind of get it when I'm in, like, a scenario, like I'm by the beach or something like that. Oh, I wish I had some flip flops right now.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
You know, like, because these. I take these on. I take these slip ons into the sand at the beach. You're gonna get sand in them?
A
Yeah, you're gonna. Those are boat shoes, not beach shoes.
B
Yeah, flip flops. Probably easier to get the sand off, right?
A
Yeah, yeah, you just flip them around. You flop them around sometimes.
B
You know, you got the. If the old school thongs. You know what I mean? Like, sometimes that thing just rubs against that little area right between your big toe and the.
A
Yeah. Second, and it kind of turns you on a little bit. Kind of. Is that where the G spot is?
B
Yo? What?
A
Yo what, Dud? What?
B
Yo, what the hell are you talking about?
A
No, but we're G spot.
B
No, no, no, no, no. Oh, wow. We need. We need education, son. Yeah, the G Spot is somewhere else. The.
A
Okay. Still. Still looking. Wait, okay, so we're talking about shoes, of course. But there's so many different ways to slip on.
D
Yeah.
B
Okay. Go for it.
A
Tell me, I mean, do you ever, you know, do you ever slip on a different. A different shirt. Personality.
B
Oh, slip on a different personality.
A
You ever. What's. You know what I mean? You ever. You ever go to a function and you just slip it on? You slip on, like, social. Kyle, you go from. You ever, like you're in a bad mood?
B
Well, I mean, fake right now.
A
Yeah.
B
So I've slipped into something.
A
So we slip on before we. Come on.
B
Yeah.
A
I will say we need our. We need our armor out there in the world. You know, we can't just. Can't just be ourselves.
B
Here's a question about slipping on. You're right. Yes. I agree with you. Sorry, I'm not trying to, like.
A
No, no.
B
This has to do with what we're talking about. I'm not, like, completely derailing from the point you're making about your armor.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. You ready?
A
I think we're all ready.
B
Scale of 1 to 10?
A
Okay. 10.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah. You think. You think you're going to stump me? I don't think so, buddy. What scale? 1 to 10?
B
What scale of 1 to 10? How much did you want to be here today? 10. Being like, I can't wait.
A
See, it's interesting. I had this conversation in my head because I thought, I'm frustrated right now because I'm late. And there were some other things happening, and I had some other things I had to do before. And Jesse was not around this morning, so I was single, parenting. Just, like, doing. And then, like, the pressure to walk my dog. Like, there was just stuff that built up. Yeah. And I couldn't get sleep last night, so I couldn't get up early to get stuff done before waking up. And I was frustrated. And I was like, God damn it. Like, and I was frustrated, I think, by the fact that, like, how often we're doing this right now. But then I was like. But then I was like, I love doing it. And I was also like, I want. I want to be able to talk about how I might feel, honestly. But then I was also like, I don't want our listeners. I don't want to complain to our listeners. Right. Because, like, in reality, sitting here is. Is probably one of the best parts of my day. Wow. Yeah. If I'm like. If I'm really like. Because. You know what I mean? I think sometimes you remember Sometimes you just, like, remember the bad stuff or the annoying stuff. Like, sometimes I'm, like, annoyed that I'm like, oh, it's like, to, like, drive back through traffic in the afternoon. Yeah. I'm like, wait, what, like, what else. What else are you doing? But, like, sitting here and goofing around is. Is really fun. Wow.
B
And so level of Persona you've slipped on before arriving into this studio, you
A
think, well, today was the first day we were doing behind the scenes. Yeah. And I think so one to ten. I think I. I think I went from like a. I went from like a 3 to a 9 or 10.
B
So a 10 level of excitement or level of, like, I slipped into something.
A
That's kind of what it was. I think. I think I. It was a natural slip on, you know, it wasn't like, here we go.
B
Didn't feel sweaty or forced.
A
Yeah. I wasn't like, I don't want to be here. Put it on. It was like, yeah, I'm frustrated right now that I'm late or that I didn't have time for everything else. That's what I'm frustrated about. I'm not frustrated about doing this. So it was, like, very actually easy to slip on that, you know, side of myself.
B
Not fair to say Persona, but.
A
No, I don't think so, because it is. I think it's more of a Persona, maybe when. I don't know what that is like, because often when you slip on a Persona or, you know, a version of yourself, it's like it's a knee jerk thing. And you're doing it to feel more comfortable. Right. Or I'm doing it to feel more comfortable. And sometimes when I look back at it, I'm like, why did I. Why did I slip on so much? Why wasn't I just more myself? Like, why did I feel like I had to do so much? And typically it's, you know, when in front of a camera, whether it's a podcast or like another press thing or maybe just going into work, you know? You know what I mean? It's like, oh, I want to be entertaining. I want to be professional. I want to, like, be fun. But sometimes I think it's like that the amount of which you're slipping out is directly related to how uncomfortable you might be. And the more comfortable you get, the less you have to slip on.
B
Okay.
A
I don't know.
B
That's just poignant.
A
What about you? How much did you have to slip on today?
B
Well, I. I mean, like, I had to deal with my Dr. My own drama last night, and I do feel. And I had to deal with my own drama the. From the day before the last record or the. A couple days before the last record. So I. I was coming into the recording feeling like, oh, I don't know if I'll. I don't know what I'll be able to bring today.
A
Yeah, I mean, but, well, you've been bringing.
B
You.
A
You always do.
B
Oh, well, that's nice of you to say.
A
Yeah.
B
But, I mean, I can always judge myself or feel like I could do better.
A
Yeah, you could always. You could always do a little bit better. Yeah.
B
When we were driving down every. About 100 miles of power, and I
A
always got my thing in between my legs.
B
It's my big old hog.
A
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.
B
Yo, that's a no. What the hell are you talking about, dude?
A
I don't know. I was just trying to slip on. I. I closed my eyes, and I just went with it. Dude, I didn't even think I was trying to slip. I was trying to slip on song.
B
Now, Rochelle, do you mind if I ask you a few questions about slip on stuff?
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Okay, it's time for Ask Rochelle.
B
Ask Rochelle.
A
I think it's over. I think it's done now. Wait. We ended it.
B
So tell me, what about you at slip on?
A
Wait, what was the question? How about you?
B
How did you want to slip on? How do you want to go slip on?
C
I love a slip on.
A
We didn't.
B
When. You got.
A
Now you remember.
B
Now you got your. You got your hocus on.
C
Today I'm wearing. I'm wearing my hokas slip ons.
A
Wow.
B
Wow.
A
I would love it.
B
And you bought those yourself or did somebody gift them to you, or.
C
No, no, I bought them myself.
A
That's cool.
B
Yeah.
C
Kind of expensive, too.
B
I'm sorry. I. Hoka, if you're listening, hook Rochelle up. She's an amazing producer, editor.
A
I would love to do some ads for Hoka. Hoka us up with some hokas.
B
And. And I'll. I'll smoke anything out of that hoka, including kiwi strawberry.
A
Yeah. Oh, that's actually a really good idea. Kyle's hookah Hokas. And it's like a little. It's. There's their platform, and a little tube comes out of the back. You take off the shoe, and then there's a little bowl for the. For the flavorful tobacco in the front. And we should do.
B
We should do a. How about. How do you feel about hookah? We should do hookah.
A
Why haven't we been doing hookah? But honestly, if one of the Rocco's is. Is a hookah. Well, you know, if. If you have like a little shop, you know, like little. Like a little welding knife or something like that 3D printer, maybe you can figure out a way to make a pair of a thick. Because they have the thick soles already. Maybe we can find a way to make a thick sole of a hoka. A hookah. And we will smoke it. Smoke from that hookahoka on our show slip ons and send it to us at the headgum offices.
B
Yeah, Headgum offices and hookah hoka thing.
A
I mean, I'm in a plan. I'm messing around.
B
Ladies and gentlemen, we just had candy.
A
The hookah hokas are good. We both slipped on. I think you do an incredible job of slipping on and slipping off, and I think I do too. Thank you. Yeah, thank you.
B
Thank you.
A
Yeah.
B
I will say, like. Yeah. You know, when we had Adam Devine on our show and you smelled my shoe.
A
Yeah, your shoe.
B
That is. That is something we've not really talked a lot about. But I mean, I guess we sort of were on the perimeter of. Of that point about slip ons is like, I'm us. I'm sockless with my slip ons.
A
Right? Yeah.
B
And so that is. You're gonna be. Your foot is gonna be sweating into these slip ons. How are you wearing socks?
C
Yeah, I always wear socks.
A
Okay. I don't always.
B
You're not wearing.
A
I got these a half size smaller and thought it would be better to. Easier to slip on and still not have them be like, to fit nicely, but half a size smaller is too small and it's hard to slip them on.
B
And how. Now you got. Oh, yeah, those are normal. Like, I was gonna. I was wondering if they were gonna be like kind of like ankle socks.
A
Yeah, no, they're regular socks that go.
B
Are people. Are. Are ankle stock socks still around? Do people still do that?
A
I saw GQ recently say they're out.
B
Yeah. I. In my head, I feel. I felt like they've been out since 1998.
A
Those. Those are. Speaking of slip ons, those are like little condoms.
B
Yeah.
A
To your feet. Yeah. You know, do you ever just put on a condom when you're going out the door? Like. Like when you slip on your shoes and you kind of just slip on a condom just to be like, fully ready?
B
I do But I do want to say that, like, because I'm limp, when I put it on, it typically just falls. Falls off immediately, so.
A
Oh, really? So. Because for me, when I put on a condom to my limp penis, it's still. It's. It doesn't fall off. It's. You know, because it's pretty. I would say it's pretty tight.
B
Your limp penis is. Yeah.
A
Yes. I'm sorry, what's. Yes, My limp penis is still. Still swollen enough to keep the condom on.
B
Yeah, well, Mike. Yeah? These are.
A
I.
B
Well, my. The condoms I have are, like, extra wide. I have.
A
Because you have an extra wide penis.
B
Yeah, but they slip.
A
But they slip off when.
B
It only gets wide when I am. Slip ons have always been very.
A
Do you wear a sock with your condom or do you just use raw dog it?
B
Do I raw dog my condom?
D
Sorry.
A
You seem distracted.
B
Yeah, no, no, no. The mic's always, like, tripping me out.
A
Yeah. Well, this has been another great episode. Thanks for watching Slip on and wherever you are. Slip on with yourself. Slip on with your friends. Slip on with us. We'll always be Slipping on and slipping off with you. Yeah, we love you all. And should we go. Should we end with a little song? Slip on, slip off, slip on, slip off? Don't you know we'll always go where you slip on and slip off? We'll always be with you when you're slipping on. Don't you worry about us, dear? Cause we'll always slip off with this song. Got pitchy at the end.
B
And I know that if I were to go back there that I wouldn't have a care? Cause over there she lies to Slip on from my lives
A
Slip on there don't you know it? We ain't going back to the time
B
a slip. Oh, slip up for me Slip up for me and don't ever down. Don't ever change.
A
Beautiful. Okay, we can cut that, right?
B
No, I said because it was. It's a single run, right?
A
No, because the camera. Because of the A and the.
B
Because I think one.
A
It's.
B
That is a single run. So we'd have to, like. Because of the overlap. Would you be able to even get rid of that?
C
No.
A
Oh, okay. All right. Well, thanks for watching. See you next week on Slip On.
B
Hey. Yeah. No, no, he's here. Same size.
A
Same size. Yeah.
B
I'm saying you're still growing. Are you?
A
Well, my. Actually, my son said that to me yesterday that I'm still growing. And I was like, well, maybe. Depends on how much.
B
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Who's. No, sorry. Someone's talking to me.
A
Somebody?
B
Yeah, he's.
A
What's the problem?
B
Normal style?
A
Yeah, it's just. I mean, I'm wearing a different. This is, I understand, not my best outfit.
B
He's my friend, though.
A
What do you mean, though? What are they trying to do?
B
Okay. Thank you, Mr. Mrs. Bennett. All right.
A
Mr. And Mrs. Bennett. Was that my mom and dad?
B
Yeah, they.
A
Why didn't they just call me?
B
They want to return you. They want you to go back into heaven where you came from.
A
Oh, well, that's good.
B
Well, it's not good because it's not an afterlife thing. It's a beforelife thing. They want you to go back to where it started before you became a. Before you became a person.
A
So I'm going, like, turn back into a little sperm or something.
B
I think it's even before the sperm.
A
So I'm going to be, like, living in my dad's nut sack.
B
If that's what you call heaven.
A
I do.
B
Thanks so much, everybody.
A
Perfect. Thanks so much for watching listening to Slip On. Thank you, Adam Scott, for the great idea. You know, I think we were. We were talking around the surface, like, if you. If that was. You know, we're talking about slip ons, but then we're also talking about, like, what it is to slip on and how we slip on as people. I didn't notice that. Yeah, you got to pay more attention, man.
B
Yeah, man, I wish I.
A
You were talking about the drama in your life and. And everything and Slipping on and I
B
just remember the shoe talk because I remember interviewing Rochelle and being like.
A
Because you said.
B
Right. I remember that. I don't. What was the other thing you were saying?
A
We were talking about how we slip on different Personas, you know, different sides of ourselves when we go into different situations. I kind of. I kind of was, you know, very. Just, like, genuine and was talking about how I actually like him.
B
This episode. We did that.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you not. You don't. I think we do need to call Dr. Herman for you.
B
It was good to try out the new sort of Zoom FaceTime thing.
A
Yeah. Thanks for coming and trying. Thanks for trying today, Kyle.
B
I put out. I put a solid effort into it. I don't make any guarantees.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm not coming. And nobody. You can't expect anything from me. Like, what am I? What. What is the point? Like, who am I? Are people.

Episode: Adam Scott (May 13, 2026, Headgum)
This episode of "What's Our Podcast?" features Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney (both SNL alumni and longtime collaborators) as they continue their ongoing quest to discover what their podcast should be about. Their guest is actor Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation), joining via FaceTime to help them—through banter, stories, and genuine riffing—test out the latest guest-inspired podcast theme. In this meta, loosely-structured, and playful installment, Adam Scott proposes "slip-ons" (both literally, as in the shoes, and metaphorically, as in personas) as the episode's guiding motif.

This episode delivers exactly what “What’s Our Podcast?” promises: a playful, meta exploration of searching for a format and identity, layered with childhood stories, showbiz war stories, and lots of tender, dumb humor. Adam Scott’s appearance and pitch (“slip-ons”) fosters both a literal and figurative conversation—about shoes, but also about how we “slip on” personas in daily life.
Memorable Moment:
“Maybe slip-ons…” (Adam, 45:18) — and the ensuing 30 minutes of riff show just how little it takes for Beck and Kyle to run with an idea, turning mundane life details into joyful comedy.
