Hollywood Handbook

Summary

What's Our Podcast? – "Hollywood Handbook" (Jan 21, 2026)

Beck Bennett & Kyle Mooney with Guests Sean Clements & Hayes Davenport (Hollywood Handbook)
Host: Headgum

---

Episode Overview

In this loose, improvisational episode, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney enlist comedy duo Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport from Hollywood Handbook—and spend most of the podcast hilariously struggling to figure out what the show is about, how podcasts operate (in-universe), and how four professional comedians can all be charmingly indecisive at once. What was meant to be a typical “pitch us a podcast” segment turns into a farcical, meta debate about process, podcasting tropes, group dynamic, and the persistent threat of never actually landing on a premise. The episode climaxes with a “Watch The Office (for Conan O’Brien)” mock-podcast that lampoons the glut of TV recap pods and blurs the lines between sincerity and parody.

Key Segments and Themes

1. Origin Stories & Comedy Influences

[00:36 – 04:19]

• The show opens with Beck, Kyle, Sean, and Hayes riffing about childhood comedic influences (Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, The Muppets, Pee Wee Herman).
• Hayes tells a story about winning a “Most Creative Romantic Comedy” award at USC (connected to Beck and Kyle’s college era).
• Notable quote:
  "My mom was very silly... Maybe some of that rubbed off on me." – Hayes ([00:52])
• Kyle and Hayes banter about college era antics, including "robot parties" and Kyle's robot persona at frat houses.

2. College Anecdotes and Rap Battles

[04:19 – 10:58]

• Hayes and Kyle reminisce on freestyle rap battles, awkward run-ins at parties, and being outsiders in the Greek scene.
• Notable quote:
  "I go to frat parties and be like, need beer to survive." – Hayes ([03:50])
• They share stories of being physically bullied for their quirkiness, with Kyle saying:
  "I can't imagine them ever really, like, getting into a frat because you're pretending to be a robot." ([04:07])
• Hayes shares a cringey but victorious rap battle memory.

3. Relationship with Guests: Hollywood Handbook Guys

[12:05 – 16:00+]

• Beck and Kyle warmly introduce Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport, gushing about their creative career highlights and long friendships.
• The meta-comedic “the boys” motif gets tossed around between both pairs.
• Notable quote:
  "Honest to God, when we talk about you guys, we refer to you as the boys. So hearing that we're that." – Beck ([21:32])
• Banter about what ‘kiki’ means, and the nuances of calling each other “the boys”.

4. Meta-Confusion: What Is This Show? Who’s Pitching Whom?

[25:34 – 44:49]

• The central running joke: no one—including the hosts—understands the structure of the podcast, the division of hosting/guest roles, or what show is being recorded.
• Multiple competing versions of the format emerge: should the guests or hosts pitch the show, should they do a podcast about podcasts, do they move rooms, etc.
• Sean and Hayes (in classic Hollywood Handbook style) ratchet up the confusion with tongue-in-cheek literalism and mock concern over format clarity.
• Notable quote:
  "I had a goal... I would like to make the best episode of What’s Our Podcast ever done with the clearest, most easily understood, you know, premise and execution that they've ever had." – Sean ([40:09])
• Beck and the group repeatedly wonder aloud about the ‘podcast within a podcast’ concept.

5. The “Watch The Office to Find Conan O’Brien a Friend” Parody Segment

[44:49 – 75:39]

• After much back and forth, the group lands on a parody: a TV recap podcast (“Watch The Office”) with the twist of helping Conan O’Brien find a friend.
• The segment is intentionally disjointed: they cycle through multiple false starts, trouble with introductions, confusion over podcast etiquette, and a “bag over the head” green room bit.
• Notable moments:
  • No one has seen enough Office episodes to discuss (Sean: “I haven’t seen it” – [61:32]).
  • A failed attempt to watch Office clips (they realize they can't air the audio, leading to more dead air and meta-jokes about what to do in podcast “silence”).
  • The concept unravels; discussions devolve into fourth wall-breaking, and the team suggests maybe their idea’s unoriginal, making fun of Office Ladies and Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend for already doing similar things.
  • Notable quote:
    "I think this is the idea that you came up with for your podcast, and they've already done it." – Kyle ([70:44])
  • Beck praises their theme song, further muddying what’s sincere vs. parody.

6. Warm, Sincere Wrap-Up: Comedy Community and Making Something Unique

[75:57 – End]

• After the parody show collapses, the cast reflect on the chaos and joys of riffing, friendships in comedy, and feeling supported by each other through weirdness.
• Sean shares a touching story about being invited as an audience plant for Good Neighbor when he was new and lonely in LA.
• Notable quote:
  "Like, I'm the only person who's ever gonna see this." – Hayes on the ephemeral magic of improv ([80:17])
• They joke about the possibility of “accidentally” creating a real show and spinning it off.
• Heartfelt appreciation abounds, with Beck and Kyle expressing love for Sean and Hayes and the feeling of being part of a creative community.

Memorable Moments

• Rap Battle Gone Wrong: Hayes gets punched for rapping about a guy’s nose at a college party, then negotiates $5 restitution ([06:15]).
• “Bag Over the Head” Bit: Beck and Kyle float the (never-executed) idea of putting guest “bags” on to mimic a green room ([54:07]).
• Dead Air Meta-Humor: Upon realizing they can’t air Office audio, they brainstorm about narration or sharing “favorite Office memories” to cover silence ([65:05]).
• Sean describes sincere professional goals clashing with the chaos of the episode ([40:09]).
• Endearing appreciation loop: Multiple participants express genuine affection and gratitude in the close—bordering on “I love you man!” territory ([80:10+]).

---

Tone & Style

• Playful, Spiraling, and Self-Referential: The group excels at playing with the form and expectation—not just of podcasts, but of how comedic collaboration can look messy, confusing, chaotic, and sincere all at once.
• Real-world Comedy Circle Vibes: The tone shifts between high-energy bits, deadpan irony, mutual teasing, and honest moments of connection between longtime friends and colleagues.
• Meta-Podcast Energy: They are frequently “podcasting about podcasting,” which both mines for laughs and slyly critiques entertainment industry tropes.

---

Takeaway

This episode is a joyfully tangled exercise in meta-comedy and creative friendship, making listeners feel like they're witnessing a late-night hang among comedy veterans who care about each other as much as they relish lampooning show-business itself. As much a sendup of podcasting as an example, it’s ideal for fans of comedic process who love watching “the sausage get made”—even if no one ever agrees on the recipe.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, my mom was very silly.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, she was. As we all know, Linda Kozib.

[Hayes Davenport]

And maybe some of that rubbed off on me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Some of that chunky, chunky tuna. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, you're doing sort of a Jim Carrey thing, and Jim Carrey was very, I think, influential to many of us who grew up in the 90s.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

And don't forget about.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right. Adam Sandler. He was so silly, and he still is.

[Hayes Davenport]

And you know what else I love?

[Kyle Mooney]

What?

[Hayes Davenport]

I bet. You know what I love? What I love to watch when I was a kid.

[Kyle Mooney]

The Muppets.

[Hayes Davenport]

I like them up.

[Kyle Mooney]

And all the creatures. The.

[Hayes Davenport]

Like the Muppets.

[Kyle Mooney]

Or. We're talking about a. A comedy superstar.

[Hayes Davenport]

A show that I. That I like. That I think is also wacky, but maybe not wacky.

[Kyle Mooney]

Peewee Herman's Playhouse.

[Hayes Davenport]

I like Herman.

[Kyle Mooney]

What was it I love?

[Hayes Davenport]

You know, Saved by the Bell is my favorite TV show.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

And Screech was wacky.

[Kyle Mooney]

Screech was wacky.

[Hayes Davenport]

Joints like, I can't even do a Screech.

[Kyle Mooney]

But yeah. And I think that was pretty good.

[Hayes Davenport]

I wanted to give this to you, by the way.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, what the hell is this?

[Hayes Davenport]

Listeners, I'm passing over an award. It says your name on it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, wow. Most creative Romantic comedy, Battlefield Earth. Beck Bennett. Thanks, dude.

[Hayes Davenport]

That's cool. That they inscribed. I don't even remember. This was from a film festival we did at USC every year.

[Kyle Mooney]

This was probably our sophomore year, I believe. Our sophomore year, we won best creative. But most creative romantic comedy.

[Hayes Davenport]

Because the video. So the prep. They. What they do is they would give you a prompt, and then you'd have 24 hours to make a short film based on the prompt.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right.

[Hayes Davenport]

And this nice job screwing it back together by the way.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, this would have been. What's that in your pocket?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, is that in my pocket? What's was that? Let Me Smell My candle.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, that was after.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, it was after. And we built.

[Hayes Davenport]

All of our videos, had a robot in them that we made over the course of four years.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's right. I just watched our first one. Did I tell you that?

[Hayes Davenport]

And that was Rebel without a Bra.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, it's pretty. Pretty cool. But you are barely in it, which is the main flaw.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm barely in it. But I. You know what? I remember that was a. A learning moment for me because I remember going to that screening. I was barely in it, but I.

[Kyle Mooney]

Think I did pitch to be that part.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, I think I pitched like. Like a robot. I was like, there's got to be robots in it. It was like, not a cool thing. It's like there. There's a. It's not like a. Interesting choice or anything like that.

[Kyle Mooney]

No. Yeah. No, it's not. But you were kind of a robot guy. You were obsessed with robots. No, I think it's a great choice. You had a robot party. You would do beer bot at parties.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

As well, where Kyle would be a. A robot who needed beer to survive. And he like, I would, like, truly.

[Hayes Davenport]

I go to frat parties and be like, just start doing the robot. Like, we weren't invited to these frat parties. And then I would be like, need beer to survive.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, shit, this dude's a robot.

[Beck Bennett]

Get him the keg, dude.

[Hayes Davenport]

I don't know that they always liked it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. I can't imagine them ever really, like, getting into a frat because you're pretending to be a robot. Like, that feels like you just get, like, a bunch of shit thrown in your face.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah. This is a good. Maybe a good time to mention the story that I love telling. Where. Another thing. Yeah, I was a little. Not a. I don't want to say a rascal, but like.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was a little bit of a troublemaker in college in terms of kind of in public spaces.

[Kyle Mooney]

You like to push the button.

[Hayes Davenport]

I did like to push the button. I'm thinking of my freestyle story.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah. Wait, was that at my house senior year at a party?

[Hayes Davenport]

I don't think. I don't know your house. What it was was. I've got two stories like this. What it was was. Yeah, it was a house party around usc. And at the time, I was really into freestyle rapping.

[Kyle Mooney]

Kyle's a great rapper. I bet you still have the deep bars or podcasts.

[Hayes Davenport]

I did one recently, and it was pretty good, I gotta say.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, you can pull it.

[Hayes Davenport]

There's nothing cool about these days about being a freestyle rapper as, like, kind of like a nerdy white guy. Like, that's not. I don't think that it doesn't have the same cachet, maybe, that it did in 2000.

[Kyle Mooney]

Which would you say? It had a lot back then? A lot of cachet?

[Hayes Davenport]

No, but I had friends that supported me.

[Kyle Mooney]

It was. It was cooler. It was. It was cool to be like, this guy can rap. There was something. Maybe it was our age or something.

[Hayes Davenport]

Fully embarrassing and cringeworthy. But, yeah, so I was into freeze dialing. And we, like, entered the party. So there was a big walkway up to the party. And, like, I was like, just sort of one of those things where you're just like, you know, pointing to things and then, like, bringing them up in the rap. Like. You know what I mean? Like. Like, look, there's a tree. Walk. Walk by it. Like, 1, 2, 3. You know, whatever. Whatever.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm saying that's great rapping and that.

[Hayes Davenport]

Wasn'T that great, but you get the idea. And, like. So there was this guy who we didn't know who's standing in the walkway to the house. I was having the party and I was like, yeah, in the mid. Like, yo, check it out. Yo, I got all my blue clothes. Look at this guy. He's got a nose. And I pointed to his nose. He's like, what'd you say? And then he just punched me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Really? Punch you in the face?

[Hayes Davenport]

He punched. He punched me. I think so.

[Kyle Mooney]

I must. I wasn't there, was I?

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, I mean, like, our friend Dave, I think, was definitely there. I don't know who else is there, but I think you were there. Anyway, regardless, he punches me and I'm like, why did you. And I say this? Why did you just do that to me? And he's like, well, you were making fun of my nose. And I was like, no, I wasn't. I was just like. I just said, like, this guy, he has a nose.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's funny because everybody has a nose. Yeah, it's not.

[Hayes Davenport]

I wasn't like. I was just rapping and like. Yeah, it'd be like. Like, like, like, beck over here. Look at this man. He's wearing his jacket.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's it. I'm not like, fuck you saying about my jacket.

[Hayes Davenport]

There's no qualifier on whether I like your jacket or not. Anyway, so I say, like. Like, this guy, he has a nose and he's like, punches me. And then I'm like, why did you just do that? And he said, well, you're making fun of my nose. And then I said, no, I wasn't. I was just, like, inserting that into my rap. And he's like, oh, okay, I was.

[Kyle Mooney]

Just inserting your nose into my rap. I wasn't qualifying it.

[Hayes Davenport]

And I was like, you have to give me $5.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, right. Yes, I remember that.

[Hayes Davenport]

And he gave me five. I might have said, you have to pay me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

And he's like, okay. And then, like, he gave me whatever money he had, which might have just been like three or four bucks, but, yeah, I felt good.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. I mean, I remember you doing a rap battle. I mean, that's great that he paid you. And it's awful that he punched you. I remember at our house, I think there was, like, gotten a rap battle with the guy, and he thought he was going to beat you. And you. It was like, you know, we had, like, this outdoor staircase that went up to the second floor, and they were like, people.

[Hayes Davenport]

House was. This was.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think. No, I think it was my last one.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

24Th Street.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And. And, like, people. It was, like, crowded. People, like, above. And people were like, oh. It was kind of going back and forth. And then you just, like, demolished him or whatever, you know, like. Like, it wasn't like. It was just kind of going back and forth, and the whole crowd went, oh, he, like. He, like, pushed you. Fuck this. And he, like, left the party.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm like, yeah, brother. It's just words.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's just.

[Hayes Davenport]

That's part of the game. That's what beef is.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's what beef is. That is. Yeah, you're right.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do you remember the.

[Kyle Mooney]

A Cipher.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, they were ciphers.

[Kyle Mooney]

They were ciphers.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do you remember when were you there? When Good Neighbor. I think it was the good name. I think it was when Good Neighbor was touring the East Coast. But maybe I was just on a solo trip when I. We went to Union Pool. The bar in Williamsburg.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

And I got up, like, in the back area, and, like, the back, they had a backyard patio area, and they had like a kind of elevated little zone. Like, I don't know what you call that, but like a place where you could step up and sort of see the crowd of people a little bit. At the time, I was really into doing call and responses to this.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah. I mean, so it was a full.

[Hayes Davenport]

It was a packed bar of, like, hipsters circa 2007, 2008 Brooklyn. And I was like, everybody's just minding their own business. I'm like, everybody shut up. Everybody be quiet. Everybody shut up. And the whole outside of the bar got quiet. And then I was like. And then I said, somebody say we like fun. I got nothing. And then I was like, somebody say, this is a good time. Got nothing. And then like a security guy came to grab me away. And then. But while he was like taking me away, this woman, like an attractive, cool looking woman was like, you're not funny.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh.

[Hayes Davenport]

Or maybe it was either that or like. Or you're not cool.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're not cool. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah. And then so as the security guard is taking me out of the bar. Cause I guess you're not supposed to do that.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're not supposed to try to like celebrate gathering together and having fun on a weekend.

[Hayes Davenport]

He's like, by the way, I actually thought it was pretty funny.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Shout out to that bouncer. He was walking you out? Yeah, yeah. Like out of the bar. You gotta go, man. That's crazy, dude. Yeah. He's like.

[Hayes Davenport]

But I gotta be honest, I liked it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Wow, that's fucked up. That doesn't feel fair. I mean, there are plenty of stories like this where we've been trying to have fun. We get beaten down. Yes. There's one.

[Hayes Davenport]

Beck had the most violent repercussions. Which one times are you actually got physically beaten down?

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, there. Which. Oh, that one. Yeah. Then there was the other one outside of a party, which we can go into now. Figaroa. Yeah, yeah, that one. Yeah, yeah, that one.

[Hayes Davenport]

I feel like we never give any space to. You know what I mean?

[Kyle Mooney]

Cuz it was so, so odd leading.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah. What did we. What were we doing?

[Kyle Mooney]

We were kind of like dressed. We were going to.

[Hayes Davenport]

We were dancing. We were like. We were going crazy.

[Kyle Mooney]

We were like. I think we were wearing like vintage windbreakers or something. And like we were kind of, you know, we pre gamed a little bit and we were going to a party and these frat guys were like, I'm tired of these.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, they used a slur.

[Kyle Mooney]

Slur.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And like pushed me out of the way and like kind of like kind of didn't punch you or kind of like hit you. Kind of like hit you and threw you down.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like way my head probably hit concrete. Yeah, you got it worse than me. And I. I yelled at him as they walked away or something.

[Hayes Davenport]

We got some great guesses.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

So this is not only Kyle. We. Hopefully nobody gets any beaten down today. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Nobody. No punches.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have incredible guests. Sean and Hayes, the Boys from Hollywood Handbook. Not Sean Hayes.

[Hayes Davenport]

[Hayes Davenport]

They'Ve both separately done, like, they're. They come together for the podcast, but separately. They've done so many cool things. Work on things like vice principals.

[Kyle Mooney]

Vice principals, alcoholics, severance eastbound.

[Hayes Davenport]

And activism.

[Kyle Mooney]

And activism. Hayes. More so than Sean.

[Hayes Davenport]

Sure. I was like, kind of just grouping them together in general.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. No, they're incredible writers. We've worked with both of them before. We've kind of grown up with them, I guess you could say. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

We've known them since we were very.

[Kyle Mooney]

Little, since we were babies. And they're about to be here. Okay, so let's welcome Sean and Hayes.

[Hayes Davenport]

[Hayes Davenport]

Hey, B, what's going on, man?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, nothing. I'm just. I'm just chilling here and I want to freely talk about my pet, if that's cool with you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, tell me about your pet.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, I love my dog Louie so much. He's right over. He's around here somewhere. I swear I just took him for the second walk of the day. I would do anything for him, even give him many walks a day. Pet him nicely. Feed him. I would even feed him and look.

[Hayes Davenport]

Wait, sorry. Can I interrupt you for one second?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

A quick message from today's sponsor, the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. All right, you were saying, you know.

[Kyle Mooney]

Your pet is part of the family, right? Yeah. You do pretty much anything for them, right? Yeah, but those vet bills, yeah, they can add up quicker than you think. That's why it's worth checking out ASPCA Pet Health Insurance. Pet insurance can help manage the vet bills so you can focus on what really matters, making sure your pet gets the care they care, they need, when they need it. That's right. You read.

[Hayes Davenport]

You.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're like, we're so in, like, on the Same wavelength. You're finishing my sentences here. Oh, and wait, did I tell you? There's a one little bonus. One little bonus. There's a perk for enrolling. Dude, you love perks.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, I'm getting excited. When you Enroll in an ASPCA pet health insurance plan, you can get a $25Amazon gift card. It's a little treat for you while you're doing something great for your pet. Because big vet bills never show up when it's convenient, do they? I'm just thinking about what I want that 25 bucks from Amazon. Maybe a toy for my daughter. Or maybe a toy for me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, maybe it's time for. For you to get yourself a toy, finally, because you did so many good things for your dog. Look. To explore coverage, which you really should, visit aspca pet insurance.com beckandkyle that's aspca.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, no.

[Sean Clements]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

[Hayes Davenport]

The super podcasters. No.

[Sean Clements]

Come on. That's crazy. You think of us that way.

[Kyle Mooney]

You guys are the boys, not us. Right?

[Hayes Davenport]

It's the universe.

[Beck Bennett]

This is. I mean, it's so funny because to us, you guys are the boys.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you.

[Sean Clements]

Funny.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Honest to God, when we talk about.

[Sean Clements]

You guys, we refer to you guys as the boys. So hearing that we're that.

[Beck Bennett]

And that's so funny that we're the boy. Like, to you guys, like, how long.

[Hayes Davenport]

Have you felt that way?

[Sean Clements]

When did we.

[Hayes Davenport]

From like, when our podcast. Before our podcast, it came into existence.

[Beck Bennett]

Or I think it was 22. Like, March of 2012 is when we started.

[Hayes Davenport]

That was before we even on snl.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, that was.

[Sean Clements]

We don't really follow that. Like, I mean, it's great that you did snl.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah.

[Sean Clements]

That's like, not, like, kind of our way into you guys or like, how we see you.

[Kyle Mooney]

You. Yeah, I don't know why that would.

[Beck Bennett]

Make you guys like, doing snl. Why that would make you guys.

[Sean Clements]

That would make the boys to me, right?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we were the boys before us.

[Hayes Davenport]

And I was sort of just for.

[Beck Bennett]

The sake of this, you guys known each other for A long time.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. We go back. We go 2003.

[Sean Clements]

We met.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Went to USC together. And how did. How did your funny asses meet? I love to just listen to you guys go off. Yeah. I'm actually serious. Serious. I. I am actually serious, and I'm sorry to be, like, really genuine. Let him get his off.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Just want to pay the story.

[Hayes Davenport]

Let's hear the Oregon story.

[Kyle Mooney]

I just want to, like, pay my respects.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, it sounds like he wants to say something.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, you guys seems like you guys are really funny. You guys make me laugh. You guys get me through really hard times when I'm feeling really sweet. I don't.

[Sean Clements]

I don't.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, this was a setup, and I'm.

[Sean Clements]

Waiting for the other shoe to drop because you guys.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

That being said. Yeah. I don't get it, but.

[Sean Clements]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, but we want to live up.

[Beck Bennett]

To that, and, like, we can do, like, the origin story and stuff. Like, happy to get into all that.

[Sean Clements]

I've been excited about this. I. I was saying to Hayes yesterday, I just, like, couldn't wait to, like, actually finally Kiki with you guys.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, we've been talking about Kiki with.

[Sean Clements]

Actually, like, Kiki with the two of y'.

[Kyle Mooney]

All. I've never heard that before.

[Sean Clements]

Like, I've been wanting to Kiki with.

[Beck Bennett]

Kiki and, like, Kiki with you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Like, yes.

[Sean Clements]

Which I kept. How many times did I say it? Like, last week, I was like, are we for real gonna kick you with the boys?

[Beck Bennett]

You said it, like, three times, and.

[Sean Clements]

I was calling you the bo.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Oh, my God. See? So the. Everything.

[Hayes Davenport]

I had no idea you felt. That actually really makes. That. That makes me feel a little. And my heart is growing a little bigger, I guess.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

And, you know, Grinch coated and, like.

[Kyle Mooney]

Not to get too personal, but we kickied before. Just you and me.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Just. So, guys, I didn't know if we.

[Sean Clements]

Were going to talk about that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, no, we don't have to go deep into it, but, like, I think it's good for everybody to know me.

[Beck Bennett]

And.

[Kyle Mooney]

Me and Hayes have never really Kiki'd. Right.

[Beck Bennett]

We did work on a project together a while ago, but that's not a.

[Kyle Mooney]

Killing we were talking about.

[Beck Bennett]

That is not. That is. I mean, I didn't consider that a Kiki even at the time.

[Sean Clements]

Do you think of this as work?

[Kyle Mooney]

That's a really good question.

[Sean Clements]

Do you think of this as work?

[Kyle Mooney]

Because I have said if you enjoy what you do, then you've never worked a day in your life. Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

I need a minute with that one.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Also, I don't agree with it necessarily. You know, because, like, you can enjoy it and it can still be work. Like, the idea that work has to be something you don't enjoy. Like, that I like. I love that you say that, and I know that you say that. I don't agree with it.

[Hayes Davenport]

What is the phrase again?

[Kyle Mooney]

It's. If you enjoy what you do, then you've never worked a day in your.

[Hayes Davenport]

Life, and you don't agree.

[Beck Bennett]

Rochelle's laughing. Like, I'm like, you know, I look to Rochelle for a lot of this stuff. She's laughing right now. Is she at work?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, she's at work.

[Beck Bennett]

I hope so.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

She's nowhere I need her to be.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is work. It's fun, but it's work. And I agree with you. Like, it's. Just because you enjoy what you do doesn't mean you're not at work. You gotta make it.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah. And then you have worked a day and.

[Hayes Davenport]

But it's also never. You can't say that any of this is, like, thoroughly enjoyable. There's always moments of that aren't.

[Kyle Mooney]

That aren't fun.

[Sean Clements]

I feel like the future was coming to me when it was like you were trying to characterize an aspect that you wouldn't enjoy.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

And it was just like, it was. There's always.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no, no.

[Sean Clements]

Does it feel like that?

[Hayes Davenport]

I certainly wasn't intending.

[Kyle Mooney]

Kyle is always doing stuff like that. He's always making people feel uncomfortable and, like, setting people.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm so sorry. I truly. That was not the intention.

[Beck Bennett]

This, like, so we're.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was trying to find my words.

[Beck Bennett]

Can I just say what would be helpful, like, most helpful right now? I think on our side.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Is like.

[Kyle Mooney]

Because you guys have been podcasting a long time.

[Beck Bennett]

We've been podcasting a long time. But I'll say our premise, I think, is kind of like, it's open, it's flexible, like, and it's pretty. Like, we just do a show. You know, we just, like, sit down and do a show.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oops. The Hollywood Handbook.

[Beck Bennett]

Your show. You. I think you have to admit the, like, the premise is a little tweaked. It's a little, like, off center.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes. Yes. It's twisted.

[Beck Bennett]

It's different.

[Hayes Davenport]

Trying to subvert.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

An attempt to do Bailiffleck and the Fleck Tones had an album called Left of Cool.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Sean Clements]

And I'm wondering, actually if you've taken inspiration from that.

[Kyle Mooney]

I love.

[Sean Clements]

Because there's, like, the cool kids Podcasts that have been out there and we know what they are. We don't have to say everybody's name and then you guys are like a little bit to the left of that. Going, doing your own thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly. We're not trying to be cool.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think we've all. I think, like, in a lot of the stuff that. And I don't want to put words in your mouth by any means, but like, I think for when I make stuff. Yeah, I like seeing what's already out there and then trying to diverge from it a bit to do something that's maybe a new layer, a little more interesting, you know, versus these things that have sort of become played out and you sort of see you've seen versions of them before, you know what I mean?

[Sean Clements]

And you're being different.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sort of. Sort of set your own lane, you.

[Kyle Mooney]

Know what I mean?

[Beck Bennett]

And we want to. We want to deliver on that for you. We always want to have to be here. You know, I'm touching it too. Like, you guys have set up all these things.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, you guys have stuff too.

[Beck Bennett]

This is kind of like.

[Kyle Mooney]

It doesn't.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, you. Do you mean, can you play.

[Kyle Mooney]

You can play that and look at it. Actually. Kyle Gray, grab the little Oscar. Sean is off earlier today, so.

[Hayes Davenport]

Sean, to one of the VHS cassette that we. That is sort of part of our.

[Beck Bennett]

Sure.

[Sean Clements]

There was just a vhs. I went to kind of put my arm up and get comfortable.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, do it. No, please, make yourself comfortable.

[Kyle Mooney]

You interrupted Hayes.

[Beck Bennett]

Just what I think might be helpful is if we just lay out exactly like what the expectations are kind of what's happening at a given moment. The question I have right now is like, which. Which show are we doing?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, that's what I asked Kyle. Well, I was like, oh, wait, what do you mean by that?

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, we're. So you're on.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was like, are we going to be on. You're on.

[Hayes Davenport]

What's our podcast? The thing is, we've not. So basically what we do, what we like to do is before our guests come in.

[Sean Clements]

By the way. Sorry, I know you're going to set it up. Congratulations on the podcast. Like launching a big podcast, like, it's not easy to do.

[Hayes Davenport]

I appreciate that.

[Sean Clements]

It's actually really.

[Beck Bennett]

The launch went amazing.

[Kyle Mooney]

The launch was amazing.

[Beck Bennett]

I feel like the.

[Sean Clements]

The.

[Beck Bennett]

Was getting out there even just as, like a video, you know, not even as a launch.

[Sean Clements]

I saw clips. The clips are incredible. I've been really watching this video now.

[Kyle Mooney]

You don't even have to listen. You don't have to. It's all about.

[Sean Clements]

I've been trying. Yeah, but. Yeah, I'm. I'm interested.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, no, totally. And I've been. Yeah, but which is this.

[Beck Bennett]

Like, what? Like.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, what am I doing now? This is what I interrupted, Kyle. Oh, yeah, I apologize. I wanted to get.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're good.

[Hayes Davenport]

You're good.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks, man. Appreciate it. I'll lay it out.

[Hayes Davenport]

You don't need to worry about it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. I'll just kind of chill out for a second.

[Hayes Davenport]

So the show's called what's our Podcast? The premise of the show is that Beck and I don't know what our podcast should be about. So we bring on a guest, or in this case, guests, which is pretty cool.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. That hasn't always happened to come in.

[Hayes Davenport]

And pitch an idea for what they think our podcast should be about. But with that being said before we. So. So in theory, our producers should have reached out to you to, like, try to find out an idea of what you want to do for your podcast. But before we ask for that prompt, we like to have our guests come in, and we just like to sort of shoot the shit, Interview them, get to know them, let our audience get to know them, just get comfortable with each other, because we're so psyched to have people like you who do.

[Kyle Mooney]

Incredible, incredible writers, some of the best comedy writers, just regular writers of our generation.

[Beck Bennett]

Part of it is like, yeah, sorry.

[Kyle Mooney]

We didn't mean to cut, Kyle.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was just. Part of it is just the experience of, like, having cool people talk with cool people.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have a connection.

[Sean Clements]

That's nice. You've had some really big guests, too, and making us nervous.

[Beck Bennett]

That's exciting for us, and that's part of why we want to deliver so much for you guys. And that's why it would be helpful to know, like, exactly which one we're doing. Because, like, yeah, we were briefed on it, that it's like, these different.

[Sean Clements]

The producers reached out so that the ball was not dropped there. I think where there was a little bit of a disconnect was as we arrived, because they were like, they're gonna. You're gonna pitch them on this idea, this show. And then we were like, are we doing that show?

[Beck Bennett]

When is the different ones happening? And who is doing each one?

[Sean Clements]

Yeah. Is it two people are doing one show and then the.

[Beck Bennett]

And which two are doing it?

[Sean Clements]

Which.

[Hayes Davenport]

Or is it in terms of, like, you two people or us two people?

[Kyle Mooney]

That's.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, honestly, what we're asking you, we Will deliver on that, if that's what it is. But we just. You just have to.

[Sean Clements]

We could do one show, but we've done that. And so even if it was like, us doing a show, I know you.

[Beck Bennett]

Don'T want to do one show.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think we have. I think we have several options. Here is to me. Here's to me. What feels the cleanest.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay. And it doesn't need to be this. You to discuss amongst yourselves what you think the pitch for your show should be.

[Kyle Mooney]

It could be a word. It could be a whole sentence. It could be more than that.

[Hayes Davenport]

That once we've landed on that, then all four of us. Yeah, no, all four of us will go and record.

[Beck Bennett]

We're just among ourselves. You guys are doing a different. I guess a third show.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, we will be doing that.

[Kyle Mooney]

We will be doing that with you. We're hosting that podcast, and you'll be.

[Beck Bennett]

Our guest among ourselves.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, you decide among yourselves what you're doing, which. What you like. If you.

[Beck Bennett]

Are we in this room?

[Kyle Mooney]

No, we're in the other room.

[Hayes Davenport]

Once we. When we land, we pitch the idea for your podcast in this room.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, we're in this room right now.

[Hayes Davenport]

How much time do we. No, we still still got.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have 10 minutes at least to do.

[Hayes Davenport]

We want to kick. We want to have, like, what, probably 10 more minutes more of before we.

[Kyle Mooney]

We got to figure out how they met.

[Sean Clements]

I don't want to spend the whole time either, like, figuring out, like, what the show is or.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no, no, which one is where.

[Sean Clements]

Like, I don't want to suck up the whole top because your listeners will know. They'll. They'll have.

[Beck Bennett]

I hope this is helpful for them. I will say, as a listener, like, I have found myself.

[Sean Clements]

Not all your listeners will know because I've been trying to listen.

[Beck Bennett]

Taken care of, like, listening to this show.

[Hayes Davenport]

Can I. Can I offer. There is an another version. So that version that I'm pitching is.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, you two guys.

[Beck Bennett]

Can I hear the first one again?

[Hayes Davenport]

You guys are smart.

[Kyle Mooney]

You guys are smart.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm gonna. Yeah, I'm gonna run it back.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

The two of you together agree on a topic for a podcast, and you pitch it to us in there in this room.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

And then we say, all right, let's go do it. And then we record that podcast. That's version one.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

Version two is.

[Beck Bennett]

And who goes and does the podcast over there?

[Kyle Mooney]

All four of us.

[Beck Bennett]

All four.

[Kyle Mooney]

You worked. You worked at city council, and, like, you were able to figure that stuff out.

[Beck Bennett]

That that all took place in one room. I'll just say that. Kind of by design.

[Kyle Mooney]

All city council's one room.

[Beck Bennett]

It's all in one room.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's like, I don't believe that. For one thing, there's got to be.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, it's like a big room.

[Beck Bennett]

It's like a nice room. It's a place where you, like, want to spend time. And. And there is. Okay, now we're going over here to do a different city or whatever.

[Sean Clements]

Can I say, for better or worse, too. They weren't really revolutionizing the way city.

[Beck Bennett]

Council councils were trying to welcome people in.

[Sean Clements]

You know, holding a second city council in.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Or something. You know, it was.

[Beck Bennett]

It was not, like, intentionally trying to make it hard for people.

[Sean Clements]

It was pretty established the way that it would work.

[Hayes Davenport]

It's not. We're not. We don't want to make it hard for you. And just. If I can just keep on pitching other versions that we could do.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, no, I. I want.

[Hayes Davenport]

We've never had two guests on at once.

[Beck Bennett]

Go over there. Like, like.

[Hayes Davenport]

That's true.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's true. This is the first.

[Hayes Davenport]

We could also do. Hayes, if you have an idea for the podcast, and Sean, you have your own idea for the podcast, we could do two separate podcasts.

[Sean Clements]

I'm not gonna have an idea for the podcast.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, so we agree that it's one unified idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

One idea.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't have one.

[Sean Clements]

Did you.

[Beck Bennett]

I have a couple. Like, you could.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, you could say. You could say one of mine.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think then we should just do.

[Sean Clements]

Well, I could have my own.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, whatever.

[Beck Bennett]

So one of them is Bones.

[Kyle Mooney]

No.

[Sean Clements]

Well, he was saying just a word. Maybe just do. Are you trying to recreate the famous, like, Night of the Bones clip?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Just like you had this one clip that obviously went fucking insane online.

[Hayes Davenport]

It did pretty well.

[Sean Clements]

And I can say, because we have been in the game for a little while longer, I would. I would try to move away from it, because I think if you just recreate it, you're stuck in this loop where people only want that from you.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right.

[Beck Bennett]

But once you do want to deliver time, though. So one is Bones. And like, we'll. We'll.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, Bones is off the list. But that was just an example because I came up with what not to do. Yeah, you can't do that.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, not of what not to do, but because we've said it out loud, we should have something new.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, okay.

[Beck Bennett]

We have to say it over there.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, you say it in here.

[Kyle Mooney]

You say the idea here. And then we go over there and we do the podcast. We just go right into it and we're all.

[Sean Clements]

I think I can clarify it, because.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think I can.

[Beck Bennett]

And everyone over there knows is gonna know what the idea is.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we all know, Hayes.

[Sean Clements]

I think I can clarify it because I think I do understand it now.

[Beck Bennett]

They.

[Sean Clements]

From what I can tell, and I think I've been listening pretty closely. They tell us an idea, but not.

[Beck Bennett]

The one they already told us.

[Sean Clements]

Not Bones. That they tell us.

[Beck Bennett]

That was an example of something.

[Hayes Davenport]

They were with us.

[Sean Clements]

They go in that way.

[Kyle Mooney]

They're fucking with us. This is Hollywood.

[Hayes Davenport]

You know that?

[Kyle Mooney]

This is our podcast. These guys are Hollywood handbooking us. They're throwing us the handbook.

[Hayes Davenport]

You, Sean, you're doing a full bit right now. I know that you understand that. You know that we have said that you are supposed to come up with the idea. We've never. No, no, no, no, no. We never said that. We are pitching you the idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

The idea for the podcast was our idea initially, but it's been up and.

[Sean Clements]

Running to get an idea for a podcast.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, exactly. That is our idea for our podcast. And that is all set and locked and loaded. Now it's your job to give us what we prepared.

[Sean Clements]

I just don't think. And I worry because it's been four minutes since you had. Had only 10 minutes left.

[Beck Bennett]

It's on us.

[Sean Clements]

And I don't think.

[Kyle Mooney]

How did you guys meet?

[Sean Clements]

Can I say my concern first?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

I worry that it's going to be extremely unpleasant for your listeners for the. To have us just go through what the show is especially. This is gonna be like the. How many episodes have you done now?

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

[Sean Clements]

Okay, so it's like 20 episodes in, and then they're just walking through the. The whole beginning is us walking through.

[Kyle Mooney]

The end of the. I know that's not what we wanted.

[Hayes Davenport]

To do, but our show can be. I feel like one of the things I really like about our show is that it can go in different places. And I think if it's a long.

[Beck Bennett]

Conversation in this room and in that room, you just spent all this time.

[Sean Clements]

But that is it going in different places. To defend Kyle for a minute. That is it going in different places.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, I took different places to me in, like, different directions.

[Kyle Mooney]

Conversationally.

[Beck Bennett]

We're gonna be like, getting in a car or something.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, no, no, no, no. I actually. I. I actually meant it like. Oh, it can. The conversation can go in different directions.

[Kyle Mooney]

But you're right.

[Sean Clements]

We are switching rooms yeah, I'm getting nervous.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, no, no. That's part of.

[Beck Bennett]

I am concerned about wake you up. Being able to deliver around, like, well, what did you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Because you said you did prepare something, but you prepared incorrectly.

[Beck Bennett]

Is that we prepared that. Each one. I mean, this is what I thought we were doing. It turns out that, like.

[Sean Clements]

And I may have screwed this up, too.

[Beck Bennett]

So what.

[Sean Clements]

We talked about this a lot.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Is like, it's. What's our podcast? You guys are, like, figuring out what your podcast is, which is awesome.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. And we're, like, kind of figuring out our lives, too, and just kind of like, figuring out what's going on. This is actually the next chapter in our lives.

[Beck Bennett]

I'm see a pattern. Like, this is just not being explained clearly.

[Kyle Mooney]

You guys met. Where did you guys meet before?

[Sean Clements]

Like, Hayes was going to say what he thought this was going to be.

[Beck Bennett]

I thought it was that we were going to talk about a different podcast, and then we were all going to try and, like, do that podcast and we were going to, like, figure out.

[Sean Clements]

Like, what it would look like.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, that's what we're going to do.

[Sean Clements]

I'd like to call on Kyle.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, we can do that. Can be your pitch, our pod, the podcast that we do in that room.

[Beck Bennett]

One aspect of it, it can be.

[Hayes Davenport]

Like, oh, it's a podcast about other podcasts. So it's like us, the four of us talking about, like, oh, there's a podcast. I listen to. I listen to this podcast. Have you heard this podcast? We do a whole podcast about other podcasts. If that's your.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

And.

[Beck Bennett]

But you said that you were gonna say, like, when this was going to. Like, when we were gonna do the other podcast.

[Kyle Mooney]

After we have a conversation. Just kind of catching up with you.

[Hayes Davenport]

We're actually coming up and just kind.

[Kyle Mooney]

Of saying we appreciate it you guys Been, like, enjoyed connecting with you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Like, I do think you're right, though. This is, I think, an issue with our show that I genuinely feel like needs to be worked on.

[Beck Bennett]

And I wish it hadn't worked out before this. Like, I don't want to, like, we don't want to be the ones.

[Sean Clements]

I feel bad because I haven't listened to the show, but I feel like this has got to be one of the worst episodes you've done. Just because we haven't really gotten.

[Kyle Mooney]

I thought now I don't even know.

[Hayes Davenport]

It doesn't matter if it's a bad episode. Like, there's always going to be you. You do so many. There's Always going to be a bad one.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

I didn't want that.

[Sean Clements]

I, like, I didn't want it to be.

[Kyle Mooney]

The whole thing is that we delay. We're exposing you to a whole new audience.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, I know. We were aware of you before, but.

[Kyle Mooney]

All those people are like, the good neighbor.

[Hayes Davenport]

You guys are both creative folks who have done incredible projects. Absolutely.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

But I mean, sometimes the episodes or, like, the work you make, like, oh, that really fucks up sucked. That was boring. It was not interesting. We were just, like, talking in circles. Like, oh, my. I didn't feel comfortable. Like, the people weren't coming off as endearing or charming or anything like that. Sometimes you then watch it back or listen it back. It's like, that was actually a good episode.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever done that?

[Sean Clements]

I love that.

[Beck Bennett]

Even listening to.

[Sean Clements]

I love that idea. Yeah. That and what you're describing. That would be the episode in there.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no. Everything up to this point. Everything up to this point.

[Kyle Mooney]

I honestly do. Ten minutes are up.

[Beck Bennett]

Everything up to this point is gonna be in there.

[Kyle Mooney]

Everything after this.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, now I'm. I'm actually. I'm about to blow my brains out. What is. I'm like, what is happening right now? Yeah, no, no, I'm not mad.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm just, like.

[Hayes Davenport]

It just seems, like, really confusing because, like, everybody's coming in different directions. I almost just want to lay it all out so there's no more confusion. We just figure this out.

[Beck Bennett]

The fact that you're saying so close to blind you want to do that is maybe the most confusing thing to me of all, because that's. That's literally all I want. Like, I want you to lay it all out for us. We want to deliver for you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Great. I want it.

[Sean Clements]

I. I had a goal.

[Beck Bennett]

So this fact that you're like, I almost want, like, go ahead.

[Sean Clements]

I had a goal.

[Kyle Mooney]

These guys are absolutely fucking crazy coming into this.

[Sean Clements]

I had a goal that I told Hayes and I said I wasn't gonna bring it up on the show. But what I said was, I would like to make the best episode of what's our podcast ever done with the clearest, most easily understood, you know, premise and execution that they've ever had.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

So you understand. I want it to be even bigger than the. The I ate the Bones clip, which.

[Hayes Davenport]

By the way, our Rocco's. Those are our fans. If you haven't seen the way the Bones clip, check it out. I believe it's on one of our history.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't know who posted it. But it's amazing.

[Hayes Davenport]

And do we know what episode that was from? Oh, I think if you probably just Google I ate the bones. What's our podcast have you Google?

[Sean Clements]

Like, I want to laugh. Like, I think it's sweet, man. Like, it's like there's a big laugh in it.

[Hayes Davenport]

So you want this. So, so, yeah. So you want it to be a great episode.

[Sean Clements]

So I had a goal.

[Beck Bennett]

Like, no laughs. Like, like, honestly, like, Rochelle laughed a little bit. And I feel like when I mentioned that that happened.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exciting about it.

[Beck Bennett]

Usually.

[Hayes Davenport]

Typically have two producers.

[Kyle Mooney]

We only have one smiling, though she's been. There was some. I didn't want to even mention that. What is that? Usually they kind of laugh together.

[Hayes Davenport]

What is.

[Beck Bennett]

But now there's literally zero.

[Sean Clements]

Usually a whole.

[Kyle Mooney]

Some people going through a lot of research.

[Beck Bennett]

Because of this episode.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, I think as of other shows are not getting. Getting the numbers that we're getting.

[Beck Bennett]

Where are other shows?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, you potentially. I'm not talking about any specific shows.

[Beck Bennett]

There's not.

[Hayes Davenport]

I don't think it's not the other.

[Sean Clements]

Shows you're doing in that room.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, because that's part of our show. That's actually.

[Beck Bennett]

That is confusing. I thought the entire thing was that we, like, do other shows and they're like, oh, other shows are bad.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Or they're like, not.

[Kyle Mooney]

I have no idea. I've. I'm totally. I, I, I don't know what you're talking about.

[Sean Clements]

I just know. I know timing wise, we're up against it.

[Kyle Mooney]

I like, like not messing around. I like dipped out for a second. I'm like, I'm totally lost. I don't know what you guys.

[Sean Clements]

I just know we're up against it. Timing wise. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have to. What is your idea?

[Beck Bennett]

The first part is 10 minutes long.

[Kyle Mooney]

What is the first part? The second part is 20 minutes. The third part is maybe. It's probably gonna be 15. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Yeah. And then we'll come back in here.

[Hayes Davenport]

And be like, we'll do a wrap up.

[Kyle Mooney]

How did that go?

[Sean Clements]

We come back.

[Hayes Davenport]

So all we need from you, I'm gonna get easier. All we need from you is an idea of.

[Sean Clements]

No, we came back. I really thought I had it.

[Beck Bennett]

Can we, for this, just one episode, not do that?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, no, we absolutely love to not come back. We cannot come back. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, absolutely.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

I would love to do whatever that is. Just do it over there.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Okay. So what do you guys think?

[Beck Bennett]

I think the Rocco's will come with us on that.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, great.

[Kyle Mooney]

And yeah. What do you think our podcast should be about.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, I mean, things pretty clear. You got, like, your comedy guys.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Watch the Office. You should watch the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. Our podcast.

[Hayes Davenport]

It's like a podcast where we watch episodes of the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

Or can we just, like, watch. Can we just talk about the Office? We've watched the Office before, so can we just talk about it?

[Sean Clements]

But you should watch again, I think.

[Hayes Davenport]

Like, no, in real time. Like, are we watching the episodes while we talk about them?

[Beck Bennett]

They wanted, like, we can probably do the one thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

We're gonna do, the podcast right now. Maybe we could just.

[Sean Clements]

I don't want to stop you from doing something. What my. I mean, and you had said we could each have our own idea a little bit. What? I was.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, you can pitch one on one.

[Sean Clements]

Because we had talked a little bit about the Office and that there's been a little bit of a gap in the podcasting space, certainly of, of two gentlemen watching each episode of the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

And they're sharing the Office ladies sharing memories.

[Sean Clements]

I'm. That's not.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's an idea.

[Sean Clements]

And that, you know that watching the Office is laughter, it's comedy, it's friendship. These are all things you guys support.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, they, They're, Yeah. Working relationships.

[Sean Clements]

And potentially, you know, it's a way, you know.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, like, you know, some of those.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was down, but did you. Were you saying you had another idea?

[Sean Clements]

Well, it's a way that people can find a friend, like, through, like, sharing shared taste and, like, comedy. And that you could possibly find a.

[Kyle Mooney]

Friend through watching the Office or fight.

[Sean Clements]

Or that you could watch the Office.

[Hayes Davenport]

You're just sort of, like, telling us more about what this show could. But, like, the power could have.

[Sean Clements]

But through watching the Office, you could hopefully find a friend for Conan o', Brien, because as near as I can tell, there's only one person looking for a friend for this guy, and that don't sit right with me.

[Beck Bennett]

And there could be a lot of kids and that simply on that show. I think it's, it's all, like, they're all in the comedy world.

[Hayes Davenport]

Give me. I, I, I. And sorry to interrupt you. I just want to, I want to clarify this pitch for the idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

Run out of time. We're running out of time.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, I cannot.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, this is our podcast. We can do whatever we want.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay. All right. So I guess. So I'm, I can't ask you anything about it.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, I guess it is your idea.

[Beck Bennett]

So you just said we're running out of time, and.

[Sean Clements]

But he Time wise, we are up against the wall, so I, I, I am not going to fall.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, then I'm going to do my best.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay. We're going to be right back with the Office show.

[Kyle Mooney]

Watch the Office. Watch, Sorry.

[Hayes Davenport]

We're going to be right back with Watch the Office to help Conan make a friend.

[Kyle Mooney]

Find a friend.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think find a friend.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, it's called Please Watch the Office. Conan o'.

[Hayes Davenport]

Brien. That sounds like you're telling Conan o' Brien to watch the Office.

[Beck Bennett]

The show is called Watch the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. We'll be right back with Watch the Office.

[Hayes Davenport]

Conan o'. Brien. B. I wanted to ask you a question.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. What's going on?

[Hayes Davenport]

K. What do you, there's a very serious question. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah, no, for, for real, I'm, I'm here for you. What's going down?

[Hayes Davenport]

If you were to, I guess, if you were to sort of imagine. I guess I'm curious, like, what, when you go online.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

If you're to go online without using ExpressVPN, what is that like to you?

[Kyle Mooney]

It kind of feels like I'm like, I walked outside and like I forgot to get dressed and I'm like totally naked and it's like, oh, my, I'm like, oh, oh. Like everybody can see all my stuff. Yeah, sometimes I like that. So sometimes it's kind of like fun being like that. It has.

[Hayes Davenport]

But mostly you don't like it. And that's one. And that's one of the reasons why you really would want to be. Have ExpressVPN.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly, dude. Yes.

[Hayes Davenport]

Here's my opinion. Okay. Do you mind if I get real with you for one second?

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, please, like, just lay it on me, dude. I really, I want to connect.

[Hayes Davenport]

This is why I believe everybody needs a vpn. Okay, okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Beck Bennett]

For sure.

[Hayes Davenport]

Let's say. Give me one second. Let me try to be serious here. I'm not trying to do.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no. I'm like podcast for you. No, no, I know. This is more, this is like. No, for sure.

[Hayes Davenport]

Here's how I feel. When you connect to an encrypted network in like let's say a cafe, a hotel, or an old school airport.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right? Or like a basement or something.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yes, like a basement. Your online data. Your online data is not secure. Any hack.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, damn.

[Hayes Davenport]

Any hackle on the same network. Any hackle. Any hackle on the same network can gain access to you and steal your personal data, passwords, bank logins, credit card details, etc.

[Kyle Mooney]

Holy crap, dude. That's a whole lot. Just like log on and get all your crap.

[Hayes Davenport]

Any hacker on the same network can gain access to you and steal your personal data. Passwords, bank logins, credit card details, et cetera.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you for telling me all about this actually. Because I actually didn't know anything about that.

[Hayes Davenport]

It doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack someone. A smart 12 year old could do it. Your data is valuable. Hackers. Hackers can make up to 1000.

[Sean Clements]

Hackers could be 12.

[Hayes Davenport]

I met many hackers at 12 years old. Hackers can make up to a thousand dollars per person selling personal info on the dark web.

[Kyle Mooney]

I might say I wanted to start becoming a hacker. Actually.

[Hayes Davenport]

Don't. You don't want to be a hacker. And you don't want to be a 12 year old hacker either. ExpressVPN stops hackers from stealing your data by creating a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the Internet. And the Internet. A tunnel. A tunnel. An anti hacker tunnel.

[Kyle Mooney]

That is huge. Dude. That's huge news. For the lowest price ever planned. Start at just $3.49 a month. That's only 12 cents a day. Super secure. It would take a hacker with a supercomputer of a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption. So that's why you're going to want ExpressVPN.

[Hayes Davenport]

Here's why I want ExpressVM to protect me. Not only are the hackers. There's other people that are trying to fish steal your information. Might be an old family member who has some. Who has some dirty business that they want to take advantage of. Or could be somebody. It could be one of your haters online. This is why I want ExpressVPN. And that's especially important to me.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's why I want it too. Secure your online data today by visiting expressvpn.comdender that's X E. That's E X P R E-S-S vpn.comdender to find out how you can get up to four extra months. Expressvpn.comdender expressvpn.comdender that's right. Be careful of 12 year old Hankers.

[Hayes Davenport]

Today's episode is brought to you by Alma.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes. A year from today who do you want to be? Kyle or the listeners? What version of yourself?

[Hayes Davenport]

Hercules. Hercules?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes. I wanted you to be Hercules 2.

[Hayes Davenport]

Thank you.

[Kyle Mooney]

From the movie from the club family. Does that version that you're going to meet the. The Hercules from the Hercules clump. You going to be less anxious? Are you Going to feel more like yourself.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'll probably be pretty anxious because all of a sudden I'm a clump.

[Kyle Mooney]

I hear you, brother.

[Hayes Davenport]

Hercules. Hercules.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't know what Hercules is going through.

[Hayes Davenport]

Ask me the question again. Ask me the question again.

[Kyle Mooney]

A year from today, who do you want to be?

[Hayes Davenport]

I want to be confident. I want to be happy with who I am and the people I surround myself with.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's great. So that's the version of yourself you'd like to meet. You want to feel less anxious, right? Yeah. You want to feel more like yourself.

[Hayes Davenport]

I get very anxious.

[Kyle Mooney]

What if that thing you've been secretly worried about just took up less space in your mind?

[Hayes Davenport]

I would love that. There's so much stuff I worry about that I'm so obsessive about, and if I could sort of just spend less time focusing on that so that I could be in the present and, you know, I'm thinking about these things that I'm so that. Like, I feel like this is an emergency or something like that, but it's like I don't think it actually is. Do you know what I mean?

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. I know. I feel you. The less. The less thought you give something, the less space it takes up in your mind. The right therapist can help you with that, Kyle. Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

I believe that I've had some good ones.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'll help you find that therapist. I've had some. I've had one really good one. But Alma has a directory of 20,000 therapists with different specialties. Like. Like. And life experiences and identities. And 99% of them take insurance. Did you know that?

[Hayes Davenport]

I did. And I actually know the other 1%. And they are. They're nice people, too.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, they're really good. They're doing their. They're doing their best. But look, you.

[Hayes Davenport]

They don't. They don't want to take the insurance, but they're still nice people.

[Kyle Mooney]

Nice people. They do things a little differently. You deserve to feel like that future version of yourself. Kyle, a year from today isn't that far away. It started.

[Hayes Davenport]

Now it's a whole new year. And another. We're already talking about another year.

[Kyle Mooney]

I know.

[Hayes Davenport]

Just.

[Kyle Mooney]

But at the end. We're talking about at the end of 2026. So still within this year, but, like December 31st. Yeah. You can be a whole. You can be that version of yourself that you want. I. I promise you. No, we got to get started right now@hello, alma.com, our podcast. That's. Hello, alma.com. o u r p o d c.

[Hayes Davenport]

A s t. I really might go on Alma right after this and. And try to figure some of this stuff out.

[Kyle Mooney]

I really think you should. I think it'd be good for the podcast and our relationship. I really would like for you to just.

[Hayes Davenport]

Can I. Can I insert one more thing?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Hercules. Hercules.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, man. That's the real Kyle. I want to help you get there.

[Hayes Davenport]

What's up, everybody? Kyle Mooney here.

[Kyle Mooney]

Beck Bennett over here.

[Hayes Davenport]

Crazy to see you today, man. I feel like I saw you earlier. I saw you over the weekend.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, that is crazy.

[Hayes Davenport]

Your son's birthday. That was.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, thank you.

[Hayes Davenport]

That was awesome.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks, man. Yeah, no, it was a great party. Huge success. Ruby had a great time last year. He threw up all over his mom. 45 minutes in. Who's not good? Who's that?

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm. Plus, I'm playing. I'm playing with our audience, the wonderful Jesse Hodges. Incredible.

[Kyle Mooney]

Catch her on Maximum Pleasure guaranteed on Apple coming out.

[Hayes Davenport]

She's giving you some maximum pleasure.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly. Yes, she is. Yeah, we. We're. Yes, we do.

[Sean Clements]

All active.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, we're active. We're very active. Very active.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, you guys, of course, if you're. If you're watching, if you're listening, you know why you're here. You are tuning in to the watch.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do I say the name of the town?

[Hayes Davenport]

Do you have the theme song? Ready, Rochelle?

[Kyle Mooney]

All good. Okay. No, it's all good. It's all good. I kind of wish. Kind of wish we had our. Kind of wish we had the bag from the top.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do I take it from the top.

[Kyle Mooney]

Or do you want guest. You know, give. Put a. Okay, we could put the bags over our guest set. Just give them a little moment so they didn't have to see all this.

[Hayes Davenport]

I don't know. I do wonder about that stuff if, like, how many people are actually listening to the consecutive episodes to remember the bag reference?

[Kyle Mooney]

I know. I don't even know if our guests know about the bag.

[Hayes Davenport]

All good, Rel. Just we do this little bit at the top and then we intro the guests.

[Kyle Mooney]

So don't talk yet. But we also, during this time, we were with our most recent episode, we were playing with. Around the idea of putting a bag over our guests heads so they, like, you know, they wouldn't have to, like.

[Hayes Davenport]

Because that, you know that awkward podcast thing where like, you're waiting until you're introduced. We're thinking, oh, there could be. It could be something funny to like, if the guests have the bag on and over there.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you guys want the Bag on your head.

[Beck Bennett]

I'll just. I mean, then I'll take your word for it that that is. That that did happen. That conversation did happen for me. The way I experienced it was the way I was introduced was you saying that you want to put a bag.

[Kyle Mooney]

Over my head just to get you.

[Sean Clements]

And my friends and I also, I had the same. Same experience where I wasn't being introduced or engaged with at all. And then the. The idea of a bag being put over my head was brought up.

[Hayes Davenport]

It's just a silly thing. It's not supposed to be.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's not. It's also your own personal story. It's a bit.

[Hayes Davenport]

It's like a. Like, kind of a bit within our show. It's like this thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

We don't have enough room for a green room. We don't have the budget for that. So the bag is kind of like your own personal green room.

[Sean Clements]

As Hay said, we. We just have to take your word for it, and we will, you know.

[Hayes Davenport]

Michelle, how are we doing on the intro song? It's coming. Okay. It'll just be one more second. We might run back. We might do the intro again.

[Beck Bennett]

We work with Relle, too. Like, don't, like, you have to, like, ride her ass about, like, get wins.

[Sean Clements]

That she's having fun.

[Kyle Mooney]

She's smiling.

[Beck Bennett]

Like, working together here. It's like, no, we're not.

[Kyle Mooney]

We're not trying to run.

[Hayes Davenport]

Rochelle, I'm so sorry.

[Beck Bennett]

I just feel like I have to say something because I didn't mean.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you think you need this man, this. This guy standing?

[Beck Bennett]

I would just feel worried just, like, sitting. Watching that happen to just, like, sitting here and then everyone change from man to.

[Kyle Mooney]

Why didn't they say anything?

[Sean Clements]

What was the idea behind the change from man, the guy. Man didn't feel right.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm just, like, looking at.

[Beck Bennett]

And here's my. Here's like. I mean, my bigger question.

[Kyle Mooney]

A little too aggressive, almost kind of, though. What did you think?

[Beck Bennett]

Which one is. Which one is this?

[Kyle Mooney]

This is the podcast within our podcast. You know, this is the watch. The. This is the watch.

[Hayes Davenport]

I tried. I promise. I promise you it'll all make sense in just a moment. We're just going to get the theme song set up, and then it'll make. I promise you it'll make sense if you can just bear with us a little while.

[Beck Bennett]

That part before, about, like, can we.

[Hayes Davenport]

Not get into it right now?

[Beck Bennett]

I promise.

[Hayes Davenport]

And stuff like, that's sort of the intro to the. To.

[Beck Bennett]

To the office podcast. Not how I imagined It.

[Hayes Davenport]

We'll do a different intro. We're going to re record it.

[Beck Bennett]

And if we're the ones who are supposed to be like, we won't do.

[Sean Clements]

I didn't know if I was talk about that.

[Beck Bennett]

Our idea.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no, no. We won't do the.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no. Do you have any notes for the intro? Do you have any notes for the intro?

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, we have one big note on the intro, which is. I don't think that he should talk about you.

[Hayes Davenport]

We're gonna do it differently.

[Sean Clements]

Your wife, he said that she was supplying you with maximum pleasure, and then you were like, yes, she is.

[Beck Bennett]

We do all that stuff.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do we have the song?

[Beck Bennett]

You said we're active.

[Sean Clements]

You know, first of all, it's better to give. I mean, that's something to keep in mind.

[Hayes Davenport]

Let's just say we're gonna do a whole new intro, but we won't do anything about the map. Maximum pleasure stuff.

[Sean Clements]

Or if you do say, like, that he's gonna do her maximum pleasure.

[Hayes Davenport]

Let's just not do it.

[Kyle Mooney]

You want to talk about how I give my wife. Let's just be nice.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, okay, okay. We're gonna start all over. We're gonna intro you guys very soon. Just bear with us.

[Kyle Mooney]

We got Pinterest song ready, no bags.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, Rochelle, let us know and we're good to go. Three, two, one. What's everybody. Kyle Mooney here?

[Sean Clements]

You want me to say I have it back?

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Sean Clements]

Not everyone.

[Hayes Davenport]

Hey, we'll give you. We'll give you a nod when we're ready to.

[Beck Bennett]

What was wrong? I thought that was. Was fine.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, no. We're gonna. We're gonna start from the very beginning, and then you'll play the song.

[Hayes Davenport]

We'll give you a nod when it's time.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're doing great, Relle. We really appreciate it.

[Hayes Davenport]

We love you.

[Beck Bennett]

And I said, 1, 2, 3, go.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, I would have done the same thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

You guys are.

[Hayes Davenport]

I mean this in like, the least defensive way possible. You're not supposed to talk yet.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we haven't introduced.

[Hayes Davenport]

We will introduce.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, and here we go. We're ready to play the song, but we're not.

[Beck Bennett]

Cuz we defended you and that you had a similar experience. If you. You could actually step in and be like, hey, you know, this is a work. That's not how we talk to people.

[Sean Clements]

I don't like this.

[Kyle Mooney]

She clearly doesn't want to die. Clearly, she doesn't want to talk to you.

[Hayes Davenport]

I'm so sorry if I.

[Kyle Mooney]

She's not Talking to me.

[Beck Bennett]

But this is the environment you've created. Everyone has to be quiet so they can't stand up for each other.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right.

[Hayes Davenport]

Are we good?

[Kyle Mooney]

Can we just.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do you mind if we just start all over right now? You guys cool? Just going to redo the intro over again.

[Sean Clements]

I was told not to talk a moment ago, so I'm not sure what you're waiting for from me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, okay. Just go into it.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right, we're good. What's everybody. Kyle Mooney here.

[Kyle Mooney]

Beck Bennett here.

[Hayes Davenport]

Wow.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, man. Wow, Kyle, you smell that? Yeah, I smell. I smell what the rock is cooking.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, I smell what the rock is cooking.

[Sean Clements]

What's everybody?

[Beck Bennett]

And normally I would chime in to be like, do you want to get that again?

[Sean Clements]

He said, what's everybody?

[Beck Bennett]

Exact same thought. Then I thought, I'm just supposed to sit here and just let it happen. This was their idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can we get the bags? Can we get the bags?

[Sean Clements]

Lets everybody.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're right.

[Hayes Davenport]

It was a bad read.

[Kyle Mooney]

Let me do it again. Start it over.

[Hayes Davenport]

Thank you for calling to our.

[Sean Clements]

If you want it and get it clean. And I won't talk during it unless you say what's everybody? Again? Which I assume is not what you want.

[Beck Bennett]

Can you talk about the office, please?

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, we have to introduce the podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

Podcast is about the office.

[Kyle Mooney]

You have to be quiet. You have to be quiet.

[Hayes Davenport]

What's up, everybody? Kyle Mooney here.

[Kyle Mooney]

Beck Bennett here.

[Hayes Davenport]

And we are. Dang, you look good.

[Sean Clements]

Dan.

[Kyle Mooney]

Dang, you look good. So have you ever noticed this thing?

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, is this a real cactus?

[Kyle Mooney]

Let me see. Is this a prickly? Oof. No, that is exactly. That is exactly kind of the kind of stuff that we love here.

[Hayes Davenport]

And it's. It's also like something like on one of the shows that we love to watch.

[Kyle Mooney]

And here we are. So let's. Here we are for our show.

[Hayes Davenport]

Watch the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

We didn't have the clips.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right, let's do it. We'll just do that. We'll just do that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, here we go. What's up, everybody? Kyle Mooney here.

[Kyle Mooney]

Beck Bennett here.

[Hayes Davenport]

Wow, Beck, look at those. You got the.

[Kyle Mooney]

Wow, Kyle, look at back.

[Hayes Davenport]

Get it again with the white vans.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes. Damn, Daniel. And you're doing the boat shoes.

[Hayes Davenport]

Spoiler for my father. He asked for cactus again. Topsiders don't do the cactus again.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, so this was the theme song and podcast idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

Watch the Office Conan.

[Beck Bennett]

They're doing, like, dangerous stuff on the show.

[Kyle Mooney]

Watch the Office Conan o' Brien.

[Beck Bennett]

And will fall on.

[Kyle Mooney]

On Us watch the Office. Conan o'. Brien. That's what it's all about. That's what we'll talk about.

[Beck Bennett]

How did you do?

[Kyle Mooney]

Welcome back to the show. We have with Sean Hayes with us today.

[Beck Bennett]

You just did that whole theme song because we just made up the show a second ago.

[Hayes Davenport]

And not. We have Sha and Hayes.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have Sean and Hayes.

[Hayes Davenport]

Welcome, guys, to watch the Office. Conan o', Brien, the show where we.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, well, thanks for doing the show, you guys.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yes. And if you didn't know, our show is about where we talk about episodes of the Office and we also try to may get Conan o' Brien to find a friend.

[Kyle Mooney]

So how do you guys feel about watching the Office and trying to find.

[Hayes Davenport]

You know, I'm looking at you guys, by the way. Not only these guys have done also, you know, comedy, writing, comedy, performing, activism.

[Kyle Mooney]

Comedy. Yeah, comedy.

[Hayes Davenport]

Bang.

[Kyle Mooney]

Bang, bang, bang.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was gonna say a while ago now, what are. I've got to know your favorite episode of the Office. What was it?

[Sean Clements]

I haven't seen it.

[Beck Bennett]

That's kind of what the.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's kind of the idea. Oh, you wanted to watch. Just watch the Office.

[Sean Clements]

I wanted to introduce people.

[Beck Bennett]

Sorry.

[Hayes Davenport]

We thought we were bringing you on as people who had seen episodes of the Office. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And you. I thought we were going to, like, talk about the Office and try to bring people together in an effort to find Conan a friend.

[Hayes Davenport]

A friend.

[Beck Bennett]

I'm sorry.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's just like that's.

[Beck Bennett]

It's so.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's like I was laughing because you.

[Sean Clements]

Agree that the show is confusing, right? Like, it's sort of the environment you created because it's your.

[Kyle Mooney]

Your idea is a little confusing. Watch.

[Sean Clements]

Watch the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

Watch the Office.

[Beck Bennett]

Did I just say this was gonna fall on us?

[Kyle Mooney]

Did I just tell you that?

[Sean Clements]

And I apologize. Would it be when it be the cactus thing? I laughed pretty hard.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Hayes was upset. I didn't know why. It's the kind of thing usually, like.

[Beck Bennett]

All gonna be pinned on us that this was our idea.

[Sean Clements]

So then as soon as something goes.

[Beck Bennett]

Wrong, perverted beyond any recognition, you know?

[Hayes Davenport]

Rochelle, can I ask you a favor? Is it. How difficult is it to, like, bring something up on YouTube right now? Yeah, we can do it. I would love to see. And tell me back. You can stop me. I would love to see a clip of the best moments from there.

[Kyle Mooney]

As long as we're allowed to play those on the podcast. Let's do it.

[Sean Clements]

That is watch and saying.

[Beck Bennett]

Saying some from like, if you know the different guys, you know, any of Those guys.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, you know, I.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, personally, the people who played the parts.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

The characters.

[Sean Clements]

Sure.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't really know many of them, actually, but.

[Hayes Davenport]

But you know what? Obviously, I'm not saying you.

[Beck Bennett]

It's not. We're not, like, pretending. You're saying, like, do we know the actors that play the parts? Like, the idea. We're not, like, pretending that it's, like, real.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think.

[Beck Bennett]

It's not like. It's not like, oh, I know, Stanley. Like, that's not what.

[Kyle Mooney]

We're all.

[Hayes Davenport]

Hosted SNL when we were there.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

We've met Steve. He was wonderful to work with. He was amazing. I remember doing some sketches with him. He's such an incredible.

[Beck Bennett]

Which one?

[Kyle Mooney]

The. The. It's kind of like a. Kind of like a dad's thing, I think.

[Sean Clements]

How many of the different premises that you guys do just. And I know we're doing this show now, but just for a question from that show, maybe plug this in, which.

[Hayes Davenport]

It is confusing.

[Beck Bennett]

It is so confusing.

[Sean Clements]

How many of the premises end up sort of being about snl?

[Hayes Davenport]

I think sometimes the premises within here don't.

[Sean Clements]

Because this was the Office, and we.

[Beck Bennett]

Didn'T mean to introduce that. I just said, like, do you know those guys? That's why.

[Hayes Davenport]

And now that's how I. The only person I think I've interacted with is Steve Carell when he hosted snl. That's the only reason why I brought it up. But why don't we go ahead and watch. Let's watch a couple.

[Kyle Mooney]

Let's watch the Office.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah. Best moments.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

You've never met, like, Ellie.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't know if I have.

[Hayes Davenport]

You know, I've met. And her. Her husband, Michael Coleman wrote on the show.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we wrote on snl. So. Hold on one second. Let's check out the Office. This is the theme song.

[Beck Bennett]

I love the theme song you put together, incorporating some elements from this.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, look, the statue. See the golden statue. We have one in our. Yeah, yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Remember, this is a British show.

[Beck Bennett]

We're not going back there.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is not the British version. This is. I don't know. So Dwight just threw a cigarette in a trash can and went lit on fire. He's walking out.

[Hayes Davenport]

They're just such a good ensemble.

[Kyle Mooney]

No group mind.

[Sean Clements]

Can you pause it, Rochelle and.

[Hayes Davenport]

Sorry, just. Yeah, we won't. The. The show won't hear the audio of this. I don't think we can use it. Okay, so.

[Kyle Mooney]

So we can't. So that's gonna just be silence.

[Hayes Davenport]

So should we just sort of talk. So do we just sort of talk through what we saw?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

I mean, what I would love, you guys, is some context for what we're seeing.

[Hayes Davenport]

So we're watching. So I, I, I asked Rochelle to bring up some clips from the office, and we found a clip, a YouTube video called I think the. What is it? The funniest moments.

[Kyle Mooney]

The Office Best moments all seasons. Go look it up on YouTube.

[Hayes Davenport]

Opens with a scene from an episode where Dwight is seemingly purposefully starting a fire. I think it's because maybe he's trying to get the office to do some sort of fire protocol and nobody wants to do it. So he's creating this environment where, if.

[Beck Bennett]

I could make a suggestion for that stretch of dead air when we were just watching the office, we could do something. And, like, I've been working on this with Rochelle, and, like, I know what it's, you know, like, working with. It's not easy working with Rochelle. Were you too hard on her?

[Sean Clements]

Certainly, yes, of course.

[Beck Bennett]

Absolutely. But, like, I know where that energy is coming from.

[Sean Clements]

It didn't come out of thin air.

[Beck Bennett]

Because all problems over time.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's all.

[Beck Bennett]

They can't hear the show. We're not allowed to use it. It's going to be quiet.

[Kyle Mooney]

So what do you want to do with the time?

[Beck Bennett]

I think maybe Rochelle, if we're offering solutions instead of just raising problems, maybe Rochelle, you could lay, like, down, just like describing what's happening as it's happening. Doing some of the characters, right?

[Hayes Davenport]

No, no, no.

[Sean Clements]

She's talking about another. I had a new. She's talking, like the characters, by the way. And this is like, not this show now. This feels like it should happen in the other room. But what, what Rochelle could do is maybe share one of her favorite office memories. And it's like a little compound and.

[Beck Bennett]

That plays over the dead air and.

[Sean Clements]

Then disconnect from that. We don't know what it is.

[Beck Bennett]

Hey, they're watching the show.

[Kyle Mooney]

And also it could be while they're watching the show.

[Beck Bennett]

I just want to share one of my favorite office memories.

[Kyle Mooney]

And it could also be, like, maybe a time when she was watching with somebody or connecting about the office. Like, about a. Memories from watching something with a friend.

[Sean Clements]

Memory from. Or friends or other friends, which would help the show, too. But, but Rochelle, do you want to get that on wax real quick? Just like one of your favorite office memories?

[Hayes Davenport]

You just.

[Kyle Mooney]

Hey, but I thought you.

[Beck Bennett]

While the guy. While the, While the, While the guys are.

[Sean Clements]

While the. What we're calling.

[Kyle Mooney]

While the.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, yeah. While the gentlemen are watching this compilation I've pulled up. Let me just share with you one of my favorite office memories and get it down. The office memories. Yeah. Do you want to get that down for.

[Beck Bennett]

Hey, the guys are going to be watching.

[Kyle Mooney]

You don't have to do this for show. This is not their show. This is our show. So you can talk to us, and.

[Sean Clements]

If you're not comfortable with it, you don't.

[Beck Bennett]

It's our show when things are going wrong.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right.

[Beck Bennett]

But it's your show when we've come up with a fix that you want credit for, I guess.

[Hayes Davenport]

Rochelle, I feel like I'm reading your body language. You don't really want to talk about one of your favorite.

[Kyle Mooney]

And you can nod yes or no to us.

[Hayes Davenport]

You can send me a text, too, if that's easier.

[Kyle Mooney]

She's not giving us anything for the viewer or listener. Rochelle's giving us not a nod.

[Hayes Davenport]

So I think we need to get.

[Beck Bennett]

Literally every time she tries to start, you say, oh, like, I don't think you want to do that.

[Kyle Mooney]

So we need to get to the Conan part of the show.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't think it's such a good idea.

[Hayes Davenport]

Do you know. Do you know Conan?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Have you been to. Have you been to his famous party?

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, he had a.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

I heard about.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, it was not. And I've never been invited, but I know. Cause you guys might be. You guys go to some of that stuff.

[Sean Clements]

So. I've met him in passing, you know.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

And also I've enjoyed a lot of his work before he does comedy, which is something I'm a big fan of. Part of why I was so excited about the idea of this show and being introduced to something that people. People really have enjoyed, like watching the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, I. I saw. And I hate to say, I hate to do this, but Conan has come through at SNL a couple times. I remember once seeing him at an after party.

[Beck Bennett]

Awesome. Why would you hate.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah, I was at it, like, oh, thanks, man. Yeah, some. I was at a party, too, and.

[Hayes Davenport]

I believe he was there. I think maybe he was there for, like, either a Five Timers Club type bit or he's probably. It must have been there for the 50th.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I saw him at the 50th. Yeah, that was awesome.

[Hayes Davenport]

But, yeah, it is. I love that. I love the premise of his podcast, you know, where he's trying.

[Kyle Mooney]

What, hosting the show, Five Timers Club.

[Sean Clements]

Conan would be there for that.

[Hayes Davenport]

I think he was just. I think it was A cameo.

[Kyle Mooney]

He's got, like, why not me?

[Hayes Davenport]

Maybe we can. Maybe our rock can find that clip.

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, is that a.

[Sean Clements]

Like, that's funny.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we have.

[Hayes Davenport]

You know, I would be interested in knowing. I would be interested in knowing if Conan on his podcast, which is called Conan o', Brien, needs a Friend.

[Beck Bennett]

He's a friend.

[Hayes Davenport]

If he's ever had people from the Office on it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah, I think he's had the Office Ladies.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can we pull up and see if he's had people from the Office, specifically the Office Ladies, where they watch episodes of the Office and talk about it.

[Hayes Davenport]

Go and check that out. We're checking that out right now for those of you listening.

[Beck Bennett]

And is this helping us, like, figure out which.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, yes, yes. They have. Wow.

[Sean Clements]

Okay, so 20, 21.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can we feel we can play other podcasts on the podcast?

[Beck Bennett]

And is. And I just want to know, like, where, like, what this is for, I guess is this to help figure out which one from the Office is good to be friends with Conan o', Brien? Which is the.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think this is the idea that you came up with for your podcast, and they've already done it. So it's like, what we're kind of finding is that your idea for the podcast is potentially maybe not, like, an original idea.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, this obviously didn't work.

[Kyle Mooney]

Maybe saw this episode of Conan o' Brien Needs a Friend. You were like, we have no ideas. Let's bring this in as our idea. This.

[Beck Bennett]

But this episode, obviously, it failed. This didn't work. So we're trying to do something that works. And so they burn this one off. They just. They just, like, put this out there, being like, on to the next one. This. This one didn't work. Why would we watch a clip of.

[Hayes Davenport]

Something that we don't need to watch?

[Beck Bennett]

A clip didn't work.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, Rochelle, we don't need to.

[Hayes Davenport]

We were just curious.

[Beck Bennett]

We're trying to make clips.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can we look at a photo?

[Hayes Davenport]

Are there any photos from the episode? There they are on top, left corner.

[Sean Clements]

That can't be right.

[Hayes Davenport]

So we're looking at. For the listeners, we're looking at a photo of Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey.

[Beck Bennett]

That's fake.

[Hayes Davenport]

Right next to Conan.

[Beck Bennett]

This is fake.

[Sean Clements]

They're not even in the same.

[Kyle Mooney]

Definitely. Like, they took their photos and put it onto this white. They don't think they were actually.

[Beck Bennett]

That's what I'm saying.

[Hayes Davenport]

We're actually seeing a Google. We're seeing a bunch completely computers images. I see Claire Danes, Jessica Williams, Office ladies up there. Too.

[Beck Bennett]

But you guys did this.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, this is just the Google.

[Sean Clements]

I hate to. I hate to always be talking about stuff that I feel like would have been better in the other room. No.

[Hayes Davenport]

What is it?

[Beck Bennett]

Because I know the last thing I.

[Kyle Mooney]

Want to do is go back there.

[Hayes Davenport]

Please just say it.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, I think.

[Hayes Davenport]

Please just say it. John.

[Sean Clements]

Feels a little like if you had such a problem with the idea, which you apparently do.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, we're just having fun.

[Sean Clements]

Well, people can rewind and hear what you said, which is. And I don't want to mischaracterize anything. I actually want to get it accurately. But you, the person with no idea.

[Beck Bennett]

For what the show should be, said.

[Sean Clements]

That this is where we got our idea for the show.

[Kyle Mooney]

I know.

[Sean Clements]

Maybe it had already. That we had seen that maybe and that we just brought in something, like, totally unoriginal that, like, already existed and that we didn't bring anything deal that we didn't even really have an idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right.

[Sean Clements]

And if you had that big of an issue with it, I would have loved to hear about that in that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Room, because I didn't know about it. As part of the podcast, I found out, like, oh, maybe this was an original idea and this was kind of here.

[Sean Clements]

I'd like to be doing this show.

[Beck Bennett]

The idea that we.

[Kyle Mooney]

You picked it because we were just having fun and doing the podcast, and then it's like, oh, these guys, like.

[Beck Bennett]

Took this, took the best podcast ever recorded, and stole the idea.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's just. They like it just. All signs point towards yes, but I'm not saying that. It's just like, oh, this is the thought that I had.

[Hayes Davenport]

Can we just talk about some of our favorite characters?

[Kyle Mooney]

I like Dwight a lot. He's really funny. And then the boss is really great.

[Sean Clements]

From what I've seen of the show, seems like.

[Kyle Mooney]

But you said you've never seen, like, I just remember where Dwight threw a.

[Sean Clements]

Fire in the trash can.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, he started being a little irresponsible. So what do you like from. So from what you said, what's the correction? We're talking about the other fire in there, and he created a fire.

[Sean Clements]

I.

[Hayes Davenport]

Can we not talk about the other room?

[Beck Bennett]

I. I just have to get this out. And, like, while we're, you know, just so. So as far as Rochelle's performance is concerned, I would have loved it. If you say the show is called Watch the Office. I would have loved if we could have heard then, hey, you're actually not allowed to watch the Office here. That would have been great to hear before we moved all this equipment into the other room before you had to go back into the first room to get the theme song for. They had to write a whole theme song about it, which, like, by the way, I do just want to, like, step back and be like. That was amazing. Thank you.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah, thank you.

[Beck Bennett]

That was really powerful how you did that so fast.

[Kyle Mooney]

Put that in there.

[Hayes Davenport]

That was all back.

[Beck Bennett]

I was like. It was like. I was, like, freaking talking to Oz the Mentalist that, like, did he know we were gonna do. Did he write that song before.

[Hayes Davenport]

For every episode?

[Beck Bennett]

That was crazy.

[Hayes Davenport]

Thanks, man.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And it makes you guys wish so much, dear. What you're doing, like, more towards, like, your.

[Hayes Davenport]

We would love to do more.

[Sean Clements]

Made me wish I would have had a chance to be at si.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you guys so much.

[Sean Clements]

Seems like being here, the kind of stuff you guys.

[Hayes Davenport]

We would love to do more improv styles type stuff like that.

[Kyle Mooney]

We would love to, like, do more of this. Thank you, guys. It's been so great.

[Hayes Davenport]

Such a great episode of Watch the Office. Conan o'. Brien. Thanks for Sean and Hayes for being here. It's been really funny.

[Sean Clements]

Thanks for having us as well.

[Hayes Davenport]

No problem.

[Beck Bennett]

You thank people at the beginning of the show.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is the end of the show, bro.

[Hayes Davenport]

This is the end of this one.

[Kyle Mooney]

We're done with this show.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right, thanks, everybody, for watching. Thank you. All right, this is Watch the Office. Sorry for Conan o'.

[Kyle Mooney]

Brien.

[Sean Clements]

O'. Brien.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right, thanks, guys.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks for watching. Thank you, as always.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right, do you guys want to do the wrap up or do you want to just. Are you. Are you not gonna do the wrap Up?

[Sean Clements]

Where do we have to do it?

[Hayes Davenport]

It's in the other room.

[Beck Bennett]

I would love to. Okay, my pitch is I would love to make the Wrap up the show. I want to do it. Okay, like, and I want to.

[Hayes Davenport]

What do you mean?

[Beck Bennett]

I want to really do it. So when people listen, be like. But that was the show.

[Hayes Davenport]

Okay, all right, let's.

[Beck Bennett]

Let's, you know.

[Hayes Davenport]

All right. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Hayes Davenport]

We got a clean slate.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Okay, so. Okay, so before we start.

[Hayes Davenport]

Before we start, let's really. We're going to make this some amazing. This is the wrap up. We have. This is around with characters.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is where.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. Ready?

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

All right. That was awesome. That was amazing.

[Hayes Davenport]

That was crazy, dude.

[Kyle Mooney]

That was awesome.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was. Because when you. When you guys first came with the idea, I was like, I don't know.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't Know. That was crazy, dude.

[Hayes Davenport]

But you were cracking me up.

[Sean Clements]

Stop, dude.

[Beck Bennett]

Dude.

[Kyle Mooney]

What?

[Sean Clements]

Stop. I couldn't keep my together because I was like, I can't look at Kyle. Dude.

[Hayes Davenport]

Did you.

[Kyle Mooney]

Did you.

[Beck Bennett]

When you touched the.

[Kyle Mooney]

The.

[Beck Bennett]

Was that real? You really did.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's like a rubber thing.

[Sean Clements]

Dude. I was. I had a heart attack, but I was, like, laughing.

[Hayes Davenport]

I was around the whole time.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. And it was so crazy watching the clip. It was.

[Beck Bennett]

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Rochelle.

[Hayes Davenport]

Hello.

[Kyle Mooney]

Just not saying. Yes.

[Hayes Davenport]

No, I've never seen the Office.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, she didn't say anything. She didn't say you would have, but that was totally the energy.

[Sean Clements]

It was full, like, star is born, I drink your meme shake.

[Hayes Davenport]

That's funny.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you guys ever, like, seriously, like, I know the show is, like, you're, like, doing different stuff, but do you ever, like, do you ever actually think this is maybe this is the show that we do?

[Hayes Davenport]

There have been times where we've hit some. Where, you know, I don't know. You know, one of the called it the flow state.

[Sean Clements]

Yes.

[Hayes Davenport]

You know, and it's like, oh, he's riffing.

[Sean Clements]

Really Doing the show. Because that was like. I almost get, like, sad thinking that that's not gonna.

[Kyle Mooney]

I know. Well, we can every. Every idea that we have here, every idea that we bring in, we, like, own that idea, and we can, like, do that as a spin off on our Patreon or something like that. We ever start one?

[Hayes Davenport]

Oh, yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Oh, are you considering that?

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't know. Yeah, it's just like, if we ever started a Patreon, I don't know.

[Sean Clements]

Deals can be complicated.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you so much.

[Hayes Davenport]

We love. Thank you so much for that. We've always said, like, well, what if somebody actually comes up with an amazing idea for a podcast?

[Beck Bennett]

Maybe we should just do that podcast.

[Sean Clements]

No, I was like.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I get some other people to do that podcast.

[Hayes Davenport]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, you guys are doing the Office Watch Conan o' Brien podcast. Like, we find two unknowns and we kind of have them do it.

[Hayes Davenport]

And.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, the energy of. Of the combination of energy of you guys. Definitely. And I feel like, like, like, we almost, like, synced up.

[Beck Bennett]

Known each other a long time. We met a really long time ago. I mean, like, like. But I will say, like, even working with Sean, like, I. I found something new with him. I hadn't seen.

[Sean Clements]

Not seen Hayes like that. And I've seen him. We've done good episodes.

[Beck Bennett]

That's the format. It just, like, brings something out.

[Sean Clements]

This is what I wanted to say.

[Kyle Mooney]

The energy, you Never knew.

[Sean Clements]

But I think the premise, like, I think the show itself just brought it out of us and would be able to sustain itself even if you had two unknowns or lesser knowns or.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, right. And if we. And if you hadn't pitched that, then we never would have had that.

[Beck Bennett]

Never would have known that.

[Kyle Mooney]

But it's. You know what I mean?

[Beck Bennett]

You've created. Here's what.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly.

[Sean Clements]

Here's what's cool to trip out on. Like, yeah, what just what just happened in that room, like, has never happened before. The history of the universe and can never happening. But that, that special thing we shared is like, people can listen. I hope they do listen.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think they'll love it.

[Hayes Davenport]

It reminds me. I was gonna say it reminds me of improv because.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, you know, like, you exactly exist again.

[Hayes Davenport]

It's like you have that one. Like you go to see a show, it's like the audience throws out a, A suggestion and then the performers perform something and it's like, I'm the only person who's ever gonna see this.

[Sean Clements]

And you like, they see it, but we did it. And like, it's for them, but it's ours. Like, that's ours.

[Beck Bennett]

And then it was with you guys. Honestly, like, we're such fans. We love, we've loved you guys for. So Kyle, you were the first thing I ever wrote and like in listen.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, that's right.

[Hayes Davenport]

You told me that. And like, that was funny.

[Sean Clements]

We did, we did commercial together.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, we did.

[Beck Bennett]

That's right, that's right, that's right. And so like, now that it's with you guys, like, like, for us, it's.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like full circle up in this industry together and there's so many out there.

[Sean Clements]

When I moved to la, I was really lonely.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

I didn't really know many people and I. And I didn't. I didn't know you guys that well. And you asked me to come be an audience plan in one of your sketch shows.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah.

[Sean Clements]

And I thought, like, I'm a part of something. Like, I'm not.

[Kyle Mooney]

You never told, you never told me that.

[Sean Clements]

I don't know, I'm a part of something. Like, I'm involved in like this scene. These people who are doing like funny shit that I was a fan of being like, hey, can you come help out with this? Like, really was touching. And I was scared as hell like I was today. But then to like flash forward to, like, look, I know we're not always in touch all the time, but like, in a way, like, we're Still. Still. We're still doing it.

[Hayes Davenport]

Well, can I say this, Sean? You always kill. You always crush. And I can, I can tell you when we had you for that good neighbor show as an audience plant, you crushed then, that was probably what, 15 years ago, 20 years ago?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hayes Davenport]

You're still crushing. And like, it's just been for us.

[Sean Clements]

It'S just, it's just cool to see it.

[Kyle Mooney]

But, yeah, people don't see it. You're looking at your.

[Beck Bennett]

Your longest serving audience member and I've never, ever, ever once not seen you crush.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Honestly. And you recently, I'm just gonna bring.

[Beck Bennett]

It's my life's work as to like, is to. Is to watch you crush.

[Kyle Mooney]

You recently posted and said hashtag my stuff scored.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

You know, for the movie, the big.

[Sean Clements]

Movie, I pitched a joke in the reshoots of the Anaconda film that's hitting.

[Kyle Mooney]

The theaters and Christmas, and it scored huge. And I think huge laugh.

[Sean Clements]

And I say that with no ego. This was according to the, you know, writer of record. And it's just.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

And sitting in the audience at the premiere.

[Hayes Davenport]

You got to, you got to experience it firsthand.

[Kyle Mooney]

You don't get that as a writer. You go. You don't get the credit, you know, especially when you haven't written the whole movie. But honestly, I think more writers out there should take on the hashtag, my stuff scored. If you're, if you have jokes in a movie, maybe. I don't know, because I think that's cool. That's like you're speaking up for.

[Sean Clements]

Well, and it's not about me, obviously. Like, it was like.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, it's not about you.

[Sean Clements]

No, it was the, you know, Jack's nuts night and Paul's night, you know, but. Yeah, but like, I'm, as I think I told you at the time, I was just reporting the news.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly. You did. That's exactly what you said.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, this is definitely so. I mean, this whole.

[Hayes Davenport]

You please come back.

[Sean Clements]

Are you kidding?

[Kyle Mooney]

Back with another idea or just to do that same one again. Maybe. Maybe this time we'll be able to do it.

[Beck Bennett]

Maybe that is the thing we do again, dude.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah, we do that same show again.

[Kyle Mooney]

But it's from the beginning. From the beginning. When you get here, we do a full episode. We don't. We're not trying it out.

[Sean Clements]

Just do that.

[Kyle Mooney]

It'll be the.

[Sean Clements]

Obviously the show was fucking awesome. But like, it's funny because I would say when we were initially in this room, I wasn't sure what would happen in that room.

[Kyle Mooney]

I knew.

[Beck Bennett]

I knew.

[Hayes Davenport]

Cause you've heard our show or seen.

[Beck Bennett]

Our show, Heard the show and like I remember being in here just being like, there's something here.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was a little nervous. I was like, like I'm going to remember this moment know exactly.

[Beck Bennett]

But like I never had any doubts.

[Hayes Davenport]

Cuz I was like, it's a. I mean like I don't, I, I don't want to say this with ego, but like this is like a Voltron right here. You know what I mean?

[Kyle Mooney]

This like Avengers.

[Sean Clements]

Honestly, you were patient with, with me, I think. Because I think I had a moment of maybe of finding my feet under me a little bit and like that.

[Hayes Davenport]

And I'm like that all the time.

[Sean Clements]

You being like steady like made me feel supported and, and, and back. Some of your stuff in that host mode, you know, sort of the primary like theme song creator and like all that, you know, like I just really felt like, oh, I'm free to play. Like I'm in good hands.

[Kyle Mooney]

I know, I know the exactly feeling that you're talking about.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, you're looking at me like if I have a chance to like talk some. I like, I like, I would love. Everyone looked at me and like I, I thought you wanted to wind up, but I, I do. I would love to talk a little more.
