Episode Tone & Style

“What's Our Podcast?” thrives in ambiguity and tangents. The humor is absurd, layered with real vulnerability and performative awkwardness; comic tension is often played for laughs rather than resolution. The episode feels improvisational, marked by messy conversational jumps, playful “bits,” and meta-referential jokes about their own failures as podcast hosts and fans.

---

Takeaways for Listeners

• If you love unscripted, off-the-wall comedy that oscillates between real and ridiculous, this episode is a masterclass.
• Meg Stalter’s mix of sincerity and comic chaos matches Beck and Kyle’s energy perfectly, especially as they roleplay “Fashion Boys.”
• Underneath the gags, there’s genuine discussion about connection, faith, vulnerability, and finding belonging (in comedy, in religion, in fashion).
• The ultimate podcast theme remains elusive—but the journey is clearly the point.

[Beck Bennett]

We dwell Home well, that's our first song that we've created.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Has no one. No one's pitched doing like a musical improv?

[Beck Bennett]

I was. I was gonna pitch it kind. I kind of pitched it to Jack. I was gonna say. Jack. I was gonna say, like, all right, well, let's sing our show's song to close out the. The podcast. And then I got nervous about putting him in that position and that we were going to.

[Kyle Mooney]

Story we tell in the land that we dwell yeah. The. The. The ones that we are never made of these scars yeah. The stories.

[Beck Bennett]

We draw. Yeah. Yeah. It was going to be something like that, but we could do a sing along.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, you're musical.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I'm very musical. So are you, man. You got a whole new record that came out recently.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

The Real Me by Kyle M. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Yep.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I could sing. I could probably sing the whole album to you right now.

[Beck Bennett]

We don't have time for that right now.

[Kyle Mooney]

Actually. It runs about 19 minutes, I think.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, really? Yeah, there are some short songs, but I actually don't think we have time for all that right now, so, so gotta get to the podcast. But it is great to be sitting here with you again. You're one of my old friends and I do like.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, I know you since the USC days.

[Beck Bennett]

Since September, probably.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. What. Okay, what, what do I want to know about? You.

[Beck Bennett]

Mean you, how.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, I don't mean I'm not trying to be leading in this and I won't take offense to however you respond to this.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. And I know where you're going with.

[Kyle Mooney]

This, but you know where I'm going?

[Beck Bennett]

I'm going, I'm going to. Do you want me to guess?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, sure.

[Beck Bennett]

You're going to ask me if I ever have wet dreams about you and that you're not offended if I don't.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're close.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

The wet dream was not a component.

[Beck Bennett]

Was it just regular dreams.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was curious if I, if you think I ever appear in your dreams.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, well, my wet ones, but not my dry ones.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm leaving this place.

[Beck Bennett]

Stories we dwell in the place we dwell. Kyle, come back. I don't remember you in any of my dreams, but I, I don't, you know, I don't, I think definitely a couple nightmares for sure, A couple wet nightmares there. But, but that's because I just, you know, I, I, my dream version of you is in reality. You know, I, I honestly am like. You leave me wanting nothing more, honestly. And you don't haunt me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, I can't. I, I, I.

[Beck Bennett]

No, that's, no, that's not true. You do leave me wanting more. I do want to connect with you in different ways and levels and. Yeah, we'll figure that out eventually. We've known each other a long time.

[Kyle Mooney]

But I feel like everybody, everybody plays a part in my dreams.

[Beck Bennett]

So ev, when you dream, you would like, I think, see everybody in your dreams or like they just play a part in informing the dream.

[Kyle Mooney]

They, I think most, most persons that I've spent, you know, a certain portion of time with will end up in your dream, in my cast.

[Beck Bennett]

So I've dreamed. I've been in your dreams, I'm sure.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh yeah, you had. Yeah, absolutely.

[Beck Bennett]

So do you, do you have a pretty active dream life?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Really?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you write it down?

[Kyle Mooney]

No.

[Beck Bennett]

Then you don't try to lucid dream or anything like that? You don't.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like I have before in my life and I think, and this is going to be a big sort of exclusive to what's our podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

Here we go, everybody. This is a Kyle Mooney exclusive.

[Kyle Mooney]

We were talking about lucid dreaming recently on one of these episodes. And, you know, I.1. I know I have. There's. I guess it's a subject I care about, even though I've never, like, really learned a ton about it. But, you know. But I said, you know, as if you don't know. It's like, sort of when you're dreaming, you become aware that you're dreaming, and then you could control the dream. Right?

[Beck Bennett]

Right.

[Kyle Mooney]

So there are ways you can manifest this.

[Beck Bennett]

Right. They're like little triggers. You can think of a thing, like, when you see a thing exactly like.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, right now, I'm gonna think of, like, a grape. I'm gonna think of a grape right before I go to bed. I'm just gonna think so hard about it. And that way, when I see the grape in my dream, I'm like. I'm in dream mode. What do I want to do? Yeah, most people like to fly, but I got with my big. The big exclusive.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

One time when I was first doing it, I was like, I wanted to be romantic with Britney Spears.

[Beck Bennett]

And were you? That's a yes. That look right there is a big old yes. Okay, now this is. And this is totally fine. She is a sex symbol for everybody, especially our generation. Really. Anybody, guy, girl, gay, straight. Everybody looked up to. To this woman. And so I don't know what that has to do with it, but I think it's just universal. I think she's just a universal. Hit me, baby, one more time and so what did you do with her in the dream? And it's all good. No judgment. What I'm trying to say is no judgments.

[Kyle Mooney]

Everybody and I. And also, like. Well, now I feel like this get. I'm getting nervous about the territory we're getting into because, like, sex. Well, it's like, also, like. It's like when I. I'm controlling this scenario, it's like. I don't know. There's something about it that is not fair for all the parties involved.

[Beck Bennett]

So you think, like, having sex, like, using lucid dreams to have sexual encounters has not aged well, and the cultural change that we've gone through.

[Kyle Mooney]

I didn't say I'm curious.

[Beck Bennett]

So, like, maybe you could be getting.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, I don't even know that I got. I don't even know that I was able to get as romantic as I had hoped I would with Britney Spears, but because I think, like, that's one of the things that happens for me when I'm lucid dreaming. And I'm not. It's not happened to me in a while. But you also, then sometimes you'll wake up because that's the other. You're kind of like, you know, you're. It's like you're surfing a wave. You know what I mean? You're trying to stay in the dream, but you might have so much awareness that you just sort of pop out of it, right?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I think by the time anything really exciting was. Was going to happen, I think I was out of it.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. I feel like anytime I have had a lucid dream, like twice, I think once I flew and then maybe there was some. Some romantic stuff. But I usually like, there's. There's like an obstacle as soon as I'm like, oh, I'm dreaming and I can kind of like. And. And it kind of. It falls apart pretty quickly. There's not. There's not a whole lot. So me and Kyle are just. For all the listeners out there, we are going into our dreams and taking advantage of.

[Kyle Mooney]

That would be a very interesting podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

About dreams to any of our potential guests out there. Dreams could be a cool podcast.

[Kyle Mooney]

Please, in the comments, if you've ever had a dream, let us know.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, let us know if you've. Let us know if you've had a dream. Not what the dream is or any details about it, but just. You can just write there, I've had a dream.

[Kyle Mooney]

Or a simple Y or N. Yes or no? Just a Y. If you've had a dream. When you see if this. If you're watching this on YouTube or whatever platform, just comment with a Y or N if you've had a dream.

[Beck Bennett]

So I had a dream. Not like how to dream Y or N. Just Y or Y is yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

I've had a dream. N is no, I've not had a dream.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay. And you know, there should be a comment section in the podcast app so people can comment on the episode. What?

[Kyle Mooney]

There's reviews, right?

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, there are comments on Spotify and are we on Spotify? Nice.

[Kyle Mooney]

There's so many great artists on Spotify.

[Beck Bennett]

So many incredible Hip hop, jazz, classic.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly. Even from the old styles to the new styles, it's really been incredible what they've packed in there.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. You can go through the course of music and just go on a little journey and see where that's like its.

[Kyle Mooney]

Own education, I guess.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Spotify is.

[Kyle Mooney]

No.

[Beck Bennett]

And so what we. What's an owned. What's an own education?

[Kyle Mooney]

[Kyle Mooney]

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, we can, we can refer jive.

[Kyle Mooney]

What is your. Oh, you had something.

[Beck Bennett]

No, I don't really, but I do. I do want to ask you something.

[Kyle Mooney]

Genuinely.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I feel like I do. I should come.

[Kyle Mooney]

You just want to be able to, you know, there's not something you have.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't have anything, but I want to be able to.

[Kyle Mooney]

We can always learn more about each other. Okay, what do I want to know about. Okay, what are you.

[Beck Bennett]

Let me ask.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, please.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you like it when people ask you personal questions? Or, like, your friends or people close to you? Do you like it when they.

[Kyle Mooney]

What's an example of a personal question?

[Beck Bennett]

Like, how have you been doing? Whatever. What are the challenges and sort of triumphs of being a father? Or, like, how has it been going for you?

[Kyle Mooney]

Do I like it? I, I, I definitely like engaging in a genuine way with people.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't have to answer that question. That was an example.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, but no, but your initial question was, do you like it when people ask.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, yes. That's the real.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's the question.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. And I gave you an example of a question, like, a deeper question.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. Like, what? The only time, like, if somebody's like, how are you doing?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't love that question because, like, I don't know, it makes me feel vulnerable because it's like, I don't know. Well, I'm struggling all the time. And also, I'm happy a lot of the time.

[Beck Bennett]

You know what I mean?

[Kyle Mooney]

It's just too, there's, it's too broad. You know what I mean? And when a stranger asks you that question or somebody that you're not really close to, like, I don't know that I need to be revealing that stuff to you.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, no, I agree. But, like, specific questions about, like, how are you doing with this? Or how are you doing with that? How did that. Like, you're okay with that?

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm okay with it. But, you know, I don't, like, Sometimes I don't like to show all my cards. It just makes me feel like if somebody's asking me a question where, like, it's actually tapping into some real vulnerability, like, something that, like, oh, I'm doing okay, but this has been a challenge. Like, sometimes I don't like answering it because I don't want to admit to the fact that it has been difficult. Whatever they're asking about. Does that make sense?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I've. I found you to be an incredible question asker on this podcast and sometimes I want to ask you questions about yourself, but I'm like, I don't know if he wants to answer these questions.

[Kyle Mooney]

You. Right. I'm giving you. You've got.

[Beck Bennett]

I won't do it in front of these people. I could do it privately.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, is that. But now. So now you do have a question loaded.

[Beck Bennett]

No, no, no question loaded. But that was the question.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I think, I think that. I think it's better to shoot your shot and ask the question.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Than not. Maybe.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, great. And now I know you don't like the general. How you doing?

[Kyle Mooney]

See, like when it goes. Coming with that.

[Beck Bennett]

How you doing?

[Kyle Mooney]

Doing okay.

[Beck Bennett]

Doing okay, pal. Yeah. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

What type of. We should invite our guests soon. But what questions do you like or not? Like.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, I don't know. I think it depends on I. Who it's coming from a little bit. I think there are certain. I can think of people, you know, I, I think a stranger. It's. It's kind of hard. It's kind of a. A wild card situation. I can't. I, I don't know if I can go to specific things, but like, there are certain people. It's not even specific questions. It's like people who do dig and are trying to get stuff and I'm kind of giving vague answers or like kind of showing that I don't really want to answer it, but they keep going for it. You know what I mean? Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. So it's, it's.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's something that you don't like. What about. How do you feel about. This is a classic question that I think all of us within the industry are sort of confronted with. On the regular.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

What are you working on?

[Beck Bennett]

That's actually the thing I was thinking of was some people really pushing on that question and being like, so how was that? What happened with that project? What. Or is that thing coming out soon? Did you like it? Like, it's just like, I like friends of mine checking in generally on how a thing went. But like, when I feel like somebody is pushing on it and almost like trying to get information for their. For themselves, that's when I kind of shut down.

[Kyle Mooney]

And my reaction to that question is I don't love it either. But, but because, like, I don't like talking about the pro. Like, it's like, I'd rather have a finished product than talk because, like, I never know what will make it through. So if I'm like, well, I'm working on this. I don't know. I just don't even. I want people. I want to be like, oh, I just made this thing. Does that make sense?

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

Because in theory, I feel like I'm. I feel like I'm always working on stuff or, like, kind of, but I. But I don't want to, like, plant a seed that will never be realized.

[Beck Bennett]

Right. And then you're talking about something that. And then they have to check in on it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I agree.

[Kyle Mooney]

We had a really exciting episode.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, we do. You and me are going to be hosting.

[Kyle Mooney]

And how do you. What's the. What was this? How does it go about? I've got a story to tell in a place that I dwell.

[Beck Bennett]

Story to tell in a place where you dwell up. And I think our guest is here. Should we say. Can we say her name is?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, do we have an intro?

[Meg Stalter]

I don't think you've said what the show is.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, and by the way, this is what's Our Podcast with. With Beck, Bennett and Kyle. And we are here with what's Our Podcast? Where we're trying to figure out what our podcast is about. We have hosts. We have. No, we're the host. Crap. We have guests coming. Our podcast should be about.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, they come. They come in. They're like, your podcast should be about this. Sometimes they give us pointers. Sometimes we actually just sort of learn about them because I just find people are kind of like, oh, wow, that's. I didn't see it from that angle. So sometimes they're just, like, talking to them.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, we have to be open. Yeah, exactly.

[Kyle Mooney]

So, yeah, there was something else I was thinking about.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, that's cool.

[Meg Stalter]

What was that? What?

[Beck Bennett]

Me.

[Meg Stalter]

What?

[Beck Bennett]

I thought that was cool. That's cool. What? You. What?

[Kyle Mooney]

We are absolutely going. We're going and rolling.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I wanted to be fully honest with you because we've had a lot of conversations right now.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Mic set up.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

We've discussed, like, is it something. Do we want. Do we want to do this. That thing in podcast too? Or, you know, like, you're like, oh, is it going this.

[Meg Stalter]

The camera?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, that's your. That's your close up. This is our wide.

[Meg Stalter]

That's fun. I think people like when the. You, like, get to see a window intel who the. The celebrity really is.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And that's what we're doing. This whole show is just a big window into. Into who we are.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's also a big win.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes. King.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you.

[Beck Bennett]

Celebrate yourself.

[Meg Stalter]

Congrats.

[Beck Bennett]

Thank you so much. I want to say congrats to you too.

[Meg Stalter]

Thank you.

[Kyle Mooney]

Smile.

[Beck Bennett]

What'd you say?

[Kyle Mooney]

You said, such a good smile.

[Beck Bennett]

I meant it.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you think of me as a celebrity?

[Beck Bennett]

I do. Yeah. Absolutely. I didn't expect that of the podcast. Oh, yeah. You're a huge celebrity.

[Meg Stalter]

I wouldn't see now.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you think of yourself as a celebrity? That's a weird question. You do. Okay. Of course you do. Yeah. You're a star.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you think of yourselves?

[Beck Bennett]

I.

[Meg Stalter]

Of course. Right.

[Beck Bennett]

You know, it's hard. That's like a celebrity feels like a level of fame where it's like, at.

[Kyle Mooney]

This point, I feel like I would say I have friends who are actual celebrities, and in that way, like, it's like. Well, I definitely am not.

[Meg Stalter]

Who is it you're referring to? Brad Pitt.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

We're actually not that tight anymore.

[Beck Bennett]

Because Kyle doesn't think that Brad's a celebrity.

[Kyle Mooney]

Because sometimes he's a.

[Beck Bennett]

Grab him.

[Kyle Mooney]

I call him Brad.

[Beck Bennett]

The Pit.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I said it to. And I said it to him and his buddies, and he just was. He went off on me and called me.

[Meg Stalter]

What did he call you?

[Beck Bennett]

He called.

[Kyle Mooney]

He called me Mr. Mr. Smurf. Oh, Mr. Smurf returns. What?

[Meg Stalter]

That is. So were you in that?

[Kyle Mooney]

No. And I was like, where is this coming from?

[Meg Stalter]

Did you see it together?

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't recall, but he's called me Mr. Smurf returns, the sequel, I guess, because I had a beard and, like, I'm Like, I'm a little shorter than him.

[Meg Stalter]

Maybe he was just talking about the movie.

[Kyle Mooney]

Maybe it felt pointed. I don't know.

[Beck Bennett]

Maybe he was like, remember when we saw Mr. Smurf returns, the Sequel? And you were like, what the fuck? Maybe.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't know.

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, you gotta reach out to Brad and, you know, kind of squash the beef.

[Meg Stalter]

Were you guys recording when I said, do I do a big character today?

[Beck Bennett]

No, I didn't hear that.

[Kyle Mooney]

We probably were, but they said, oh.

[Meg Stalter]

Do we do characters or not? It'd be weird if I came in with a big. Hello.

[Beck Bennett]

It would have been weird. It would have been weird if you sat down.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I was like, here's my coffee. Should I do it? But I like the idea that, like, you're that prepared. Like, in that moment, we could have been like, well, yeah, we're doing big characters.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, everybody win. Like, I need my top hat for you.

[Beck Bennett]

It's just.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's truly just.

[Meg Stalter]

It's on and off.

[Beck Bennett]

And now. Now, when you asked that question, was it. Was it because of the. The. Our podcast conceit that we're. You're, like, coming in and telling us.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

I didn't know if it was. If the podcast was. We're coming in, we're saying a word checkers, and all of a sudden, we're the three Stickers Brothers. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I was. You know, you do know the premise of the podcast, which is that we're trying to figure out what our podcast is about. And there have been. We have had multiple. I feel like multiple guests have been, like, how genuine should this be? Or like, how in character.

[Meg Stalter]

Who else have you had on? I thought it was the first.

[Beck Bennett]

Crap. Yeah. You're our first.

[Kyle Mooney]

You are. You're the first round.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, first round. We had. We had.

[Kyle Mooney]

You know. Do you know who's. Do you know who the. Who you're paired up with today? Who was here?

[Meg Stalter]

No.

[Kyle Mooney]

Take a guess.

[Meg Stalter]

Taylor Swift?

[Beck Bennett]

That's so close. No, Jack Black was in here earlier.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, well, where is he?

[Beck Bennett]

He left. He took off.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay. So I'm not really.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I guess not.

[Kyle Mooney]

Sounded like he's. It sounded like he looks.

[Meg Stalter]

He didn't want to say. To say hi.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. He's intimidated by you.

[Meg Stalter]

He said he was a huge Kayla head.

[Beck Bennett]

That's.

[Meg Stalter]

He said one time he said that.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, my God. Really? I believe it. I'm a huge guy.

[Meg Stalter]

I did meet him, though. And he said, oh, I love you.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think he's. I think he, like, does have a good sense of funny, cool stuff, so.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, but you didn't want to stick around to say hi?

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, he might not have known that you were coming.

[Kyle Mooney]

We didn't tell him, and that's. And I feel like you told me.

[Meg Stalter]

That he was here, but we didn't.

[Beck Bennett]

Tell him that you were coming.

[Meg Stalter]

Why did you tell him? You didn't think he would know me? No.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Meg Stalter]

Celebrity. Do you really not. I know I'm not.

[Kyle Mooney]

We got it.

[Beck Bennett]

We're learning how to do podcasts, and we got to tell the second.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, my God. You guys are pairing more famous people with less famous people.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, you're as famous.

[Meg Stalter]

No, I'm not as famous as Jack Black. No, I'm not. I was not in Minecraft.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was trying to. I was trying to build you up because you. You were like, I'm not the first. And I was like, oh, okay. Well, no, we. I got.

[Meg Stalter]

I've got celebrities with real people. I'm the real person. You're the real.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're not.

[Meg Stalter]

It's like in Sex in the City, when Carrie was the real person in the Runway show and everybody else was a model.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's exactly the real person.

[Beck Bennett]

That's.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're not the real person. Trust me.

[Meg Stalter]

Well, not everybody else was models. There was real people and then models, and she was one of the real people. She thought what she was.

[Beck Bennett]

That's embarrassing for Carrie. You know what? You know what's cool about you is you're. You're a celebrity. You're the celebrity and a real person. I'm crying. Of course I'm crying.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's okay.

[Beck Bennett]

You can cry here.

[Meg Stalter]

Did I scare you guys?

[Beck Bennett]

No, no. Absolutely not.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm.

[Kyle Mooney]

I. Yeah, no.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, you can. You scare.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel. I, I, I, I do. I am, like, sensitive to. I want you to be comfortable.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you guys think I should host snl?

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, I do.

[Kyle Mooney]

Wait, do you want to.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you want to host snl?

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you think I should host snl? Do you think I chose snl?

[Meg Stalter]

Do you guys think I should host snl?

[Kyle Mooney]

Absolutely.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. I think you would be incredible. Yeah. You honestly. You honestly are. You are so funny.

[Kyle Mooney]

You've already shown so much more movies.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you think I have to be in to host?

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, it's.

[Kyle Mooney]

You know, it could be just one big movie.

[Beck Bennett]

You have a show coming out, and it could just be.

[Meg Stalter]

If it's a. Well, I think people love it, but if it's a flop. They're not going to have me.

[Beck Bennett]

Exactly.

[Kyle Mooney]

Not for good.

[Beck Bennett]

Not good. Not for good.

[Meg Stalter]

I need at least one big thing to. Well, but no, because hacks is pretty big, but I'm not the main person on it.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[Meg Stalter]

So they had Gene do it. They wouldn't even let me.

[Beck Bennett]

Did you guys watched up?

[Kyle Mooney]

They wouldn't let you watch, like, on a tv?

[Meg Stalter]

No, no, they would. They would.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, that's cool.

[Beck Bennett]

That's nice that they let you watch on tv. I think you should definitely host snl.

[Meg Stalter]

Thank you.

[Beck Bennett]

I bet you're in the conversation. I bet the thing is, like. Well, now it's not the right. It's coming up, but maybe they think.

[Meg Stalter]

She needs one more big moment.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And they is. Are you okay, Captain Lauren? You got your own TV show coming out. You got two shows on Max, right?

[Meg Stalter]

Two shows on Max.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

You got hacked.

[Kyle Mooney]

The other one's on Netflix.

[Meg Stalter]

The other one.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, wait.

[Kyle Mooney]

Jesus.

[Meg Stalter]

Are you guys okay?

[Beck Bennett]

That's embarrassing.

[Kyle Mooney]

Why did you just take a swing like that?

[Meg Stalter]

Two shows on Max. That is so. So. I mean, it was a huge.

[Kyle Mooney]

What is that back? Two shows on Max.

[Beck Bennett]

I just think of her as a Max girl.

[Meg Stalter]

I thought, what else am I on?

[Beck Bennett]

I know.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was doing the math. I was right there with you, Meg.

[Meg Stalter]

I was kidding about making you guys compliment me and say the SNL thing, but now I'm like, well, you didn't even research the guest.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, listen, I know all about the Netflix thing.

[Beck Bennett]

Honestly, I got to be honest with the Netflix sounds.

[Meg Stalter]

I bet you guys know what Jack Blackson. Everything.

[Kyle Mooney]

Excuse me?

[Meg Stalter]

Everything.

[Beck Bennett]

Everything. He was in Jumanji for sure.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like if you're. If you're talking about. I like baseball. So I think about averages, you know, that's like, how many times you get some. If I bet I could do. I could get a better percentage of all of your roles than I could with Jack Black.

[Meg Stalter]

Because I was in less stuff. Because there's less things to guess.

[Beck Bennett]

But yeah, but honestly, if. If you go through all your characters in all your videos, that's a lot of characters.

[Meg Stalter]

Name a couple of your favorite tiktoks that you've seen in mine.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, crap. I've.

[Kyle Mooney]

I've seen a lot of your videos.

[Meg Stalter]

Like what?

[Beck Bennett]

Like this.

[Kyle Mooney]

Like, I feel like you're out. I'm trying to remember the Wacky.

[Meg Stalter]

What? Wacky Teacher.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, that was good.

[Meg Stalter]

Well, I didn't do that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Right? You never did. Wacky Teacher.

[Meg Stalter]

I didn't do Wacky Teacher. I didn't do that. It just was something that I just thought I could trick you guys with.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

If you guys have seen it. But I didn't do it.

[Beck Bennett]

I haven't seen the Wacky Teacher because.

[Meg Stalter]

I didn't do it.

[Kyle Mooney]

I love your videos, but it's. I love Kayla.

[Beck Bennett]

We all love Kayla. We all love Kayla.

[Meg Stalter]

What's your favorite Kayla line? There's so many, like, iconic ones, like.

[Beck Bennett]

Where you're on the phone and you. You buy something you shouldn't have. You definitely buy something on the company card. And you're like, I got some for me.

[Meg Stalter]

I feel like you're just kind of going with the character description that she could have done that because I don't even remember that scene.

[Beck Bennett]

But you've done so many characters and scenes. How are you supposed to remember all that scene.

[Meg Stalter]

I'll say a line. You finish the line, bitch.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't even know what it's like to be Kayla.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm just kidding around. You guys don't have to.

[Beck Bennett]

No, I know. I know you're kidding around. You're. You're.

[Kyle Mooney]

We like to. We love to mess around.

[Beck Bennett]

We love to mess around.

[Meg Stalter]

Can I ask you one real question? And you guys be honest.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes.

[Meg Stalter]

Was it your idea to have me on, or did somebody say that I was like. Like, did someone request for me beyond.

[Kyle Mooney]

Here's the. Here's the truth.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

We have a big master list of names.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

And you are on that page.

[Beck Bennett]

And we have approved.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't. I couldn't.

[Meg Stalter]

Once. You. 10.

[Beck Bennett]

There's no numbers.

[Kyle Mooney]

I couldn't tell. It's. I think it's an alphabetical order, to be totally honest.

[Meg Stalter]

You throw out the net. You see what you catch.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, exactly. But I. I mean, catch some big dishes. I.

[Kyle Mooney]

We are fans. I feel like I've expressed this to you. I hope I have before.

[Beck Bennett]

No, I must. I must have.

[Kyle Mooney]

I've every. I feel like I've been in rooms with you, and I would have said, like, I love your work.

[Meg Stalter]

I don't. I feel like you said hi, but I remember.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, maybe you didn't. Maybe you were doing it and you said your head. I remember I hung out with you on a couch at the Chateau Marmont.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

HBO after party. And I. I definitely told you, not.

[Meg Stalter]

The other show, because that's on Netflix.

[Beck Bennett]

That's on Netflix.

[Meg Stalter]

They don't.

[Beck Bennett]

They don't party at the Chateau Marmont. They. I don't know what they do, but they don't. I don't well, who? We'll figure out. I don't know. Yeah, but. But I definitely told you there how much I. How funny I think you are.

[Meg Stalter]

I remember that part. But I do remember we were goofing.

[Beck Bennett]

Around and having a lot.

[Meg Stalter]

We definitely hit it off.

[Beck Bennett]

We were having a blast.

[Kyle Mooney]

Is it possible that you somehow block out these moments?

[Meg Stalter]

No, because I do remember Jack Black saying something nice to me when he met me about it. Like, oh, my gosh, I'm such a Hacks fan.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. And she doesn't remember you saying that.

[Meg Stalter]

But you. I think Kyle definitely didn't say it. And then the other one definitely said something nice.

[Beck Bennett]

This one. You can call me the other one. The other one.

[Kyle Mooney]

That speaks well of my celebrity.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

But then I think, yeah, you guys.

[Meg Stalter]

Definitely said you said something nicer than Kyle did.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, definitely. But I am nameless.

[Meg Stalter]

No, I actually do remember Kyle's like, hi, how's it going?

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, that was it. Well, to Kyle, that's a nice thing.

[Meg Stalter]

I thought maybe you were nervous at the party.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you remember what the party was?

[Meg Stalter]

It was an SNL party. That's what I got in.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, wow.

[Meg Stalter]

I.

[Kyle Mooney]

You know what I mean.

[Meg Stalter]

You did hug me really big.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. So maybe that's. Maybe the energy, Maybe it was too big.

[Beck Bennett]

Was it, like, too much?

[Kyle Mooney]

You didn't hug me. Really?

[Meg Stalter]

The other one didn't hug me that much.

[Beck Bennett]

The other one didn't hug me.

[Meg Stalter]

Really?

[Beck Bennett]

The other one? Yeah, I did. I did more. I said nice stuff, but didn't hug you as much.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And now.

[Meg Stalter]

And, yeah, you hugged me a lot.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, I think.

[Kyle Mooney]

Is this good for us? I don't know.

[Beck Bennett]

This is definitely.

[Meg Stalter]

But too much. It was like a friendly hug.

[Beck Bennett]

This is good for definitely.

[Meg Stalter]

Like a big cousin hug.

[Beck Bennett]

A big old cousin hug. That's nice.

[Meg Stalter]

But I'm such a fan of both of you guys because I've been a fan for a long time. And Kylie used to watch your videos when you. You interviewed people at the lizard convention.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

The Reptile. The video where you did the ADR and you couldn't get the line right.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

And when you would interview different people at different conventions and stuff. And then the one where you got the new apartment and your friend. So I know a lot of your characters.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, I really. I, I. I am so. I feel genuinely bad that I can't quote.

[Meg Stalter]

That's okay.

[Beck Bennett]

But.

[Kyle Mooney]

But I feel like during the pandemic, what happened was probably what happened when I became. We all got stuck inside in 2020ish. I'm thinking I started seeing and watching your stuff and consuming it and loving it.

[Beck Bennett]

And you may. You may heard this a lot. Sorry to get over you. Sorry to get over you. You may have heard this a lot, but you helped us get through that time.

[Meg Stalter]

But you don't remember any characters.

[Beck Bennett]

It was a long time ago. It was a moment of trauma. It was like. And it was also like you to camera, you know, a little. Slightly different cameras, but we were getting to know you.

[Meg Stalter]

Wait, wait. We didn't have slightly different cameras.

[Beck Bennett]

Sorry. Not slightly different cameras. Slightly different characters. You know, different characters. But we are also getting to know your.

[Meg Stalter]

I have a pretty big range.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, no, you do have a big.

[Meg Stalter]

Range, slightly different characters.

[Beck Bennett]

But we were getting to know your style.

[Meg Stalter]

One trick pony.

[Beck Bennett]

Your footprint, your thumbprint. Don't you think you have a thumbprint, like a footprint? Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

You grew up in Ohio. Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

But by the way, I'm not favoring one of you over the other.

[Kyle Mooney]

That is nice.

[Meg Stalter]

My favorite SNL Stu stuff is y' all together, of course.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, that's so sweet. Get out of here. Are you serious?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, come on. I'm serious.

[Beck Bennett]

Name one thing.

[Meg Stalter]

The one where you guys come downstairs in your underwear.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Classic. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Painting over there.

[Meg Stalter]

You look upset.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no. I'm trying the imagery of one specific one in my head, but I don't have enough. I think it's with. I think it's with your brother.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay. And he's a huge fan of you guys.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, really?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like it has.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm serious.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like there's a Christian orientation to it.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay. Yes. You were pulling from a memory.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, Very good.

[Meg Stalter]

Yes. That actually. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Is there a parking lot?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, we. We did. We definitely did a couple church videos, which. I actually am a God girl, so I. I don't have a church. I actually did grow up Pentecostal.

[Beck Bennett]

Now, what is.

[Meg Stalter]

Did you look that up?

[Beck Bennett]

I did look that up.

[Meg Stalter]

I knew that I don't have a church now that I go to, but I'm gay Christian.

[Beck Bennett]

You're gay Christian?

[Meg Stalter]

I am a God girl. I love God.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, wow. I didn't know God. So you still hold God close to your heart?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, of course.

[Beck Bennett]

Wow. So did you go to church?

[Meg Stalter]

I don't have a church, but I would be open to. If I found a cool LA gay church, I would go there.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, that's cool.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

I grew up Piscopalian.

[Kyle Mooney]

Me too.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Really? Is that how you guys met?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, in the church. We are altar Boys at altar boy camp.

[Meg Stalter]

What is that Was an altar boy and Episcopalian.

[Beck Bennett]

It's kind of like.

[Kyle Mooney]

They call it Catholic light.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, is that right?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah. There's no. There's no papal system.

[Beck Bennett]

No papal system. No papals. And the. The priests can have sex with the.

[Meg Stalter]

With like their what, they can get married or could they be women? No. Okay.

[Beck Bennett]

Actually, I mean maybe now. No, wait. Well, you. Wait. What's the question? Can you be gay?

[Meg Stalter]

Can you're asking the priests, can they be like non binary, like women or.

[Beck Bennett]

We had.

[Meg Stalter]

They have to be males. Like straight male.

[Beck Bennett]

No, we had. We had a. Like a. I don't even know. Priester. Priester. Patch. Pastor. Priest. We had a.

[Meg Stalter]

Were you lying about the church thing?

[Beck Bennett]

We had a priester who was a gay woman.

[Meg Stalter]

But I thought you said you had to be male.

[Beck Bennett]

No, no, no, I did say that. But you don't have.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think I was trying. I was trying to correct him.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't have to be a male.

[Meg Stalter]

Because you're also a part of it. The church.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was brought up in it. You know, I don't know that I can.

[Meg Stalter]

When did you bring down in it?

[Beck Bennett]

When? Wait, what was the question? When did you.

[Meg Stalter]

When did you bring down.

[Beck Bennett]

When did you bring down.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think that's the way I was raised in the church.

[Meg Stalter]

I know. So when did you come out of it?

[Beck Bennett]

When did you slither out of the church?

[Kyle Mooney]

Probably the last time I went genuinely was probably. I was probably a senior in high school with. Going with my mom took me.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh wow.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks.

[Meg Stalter]

You still believe in God, Man.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is really a. What's our podcast exclusive right here.

[Meg Stalter]

Say yes. Say yes. No, I'm kidding. I. I wouldn't make you. I of course want. But.

[Beck Bennett]

Right. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I don't know if I believe in like the guy God. The. The guy Jesus.

[Meg Stalter]

Interesting. Interesting. But you still believe in the Holy Spirit and then. But do you. First of all, I would never push any beliefs. Of course. Just open hearted sharing our beliefs. But do you still believe in God? But you don't have to say.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, I. I'll say I was going mostly family with my mother. Like my. It was my mother who was. Who was heavy into the church and I was accompanying her mostly.

[Meg Stalter]

Yes.

[Kyle Mooney]

I. But I didn't Joy. I liked. To me it was meditative. Right. Like I feel like I don't even know if I. When I pray I was praying correctly but like I would use it. I would like talk to somebody or say thoughts out Loud in my head, you know what I'm saying?

[Meg Stalter]

Something bigger than us in that moment, I thought.

[Kyle Mooney]

I always felt like it couldn't hurt. You know what I mean?

[Meg Stalter]

I love that you were definitely had enough, like hope to reach out to something in that moment. Right?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. And I catch myself sometimes talking to somebody. Like, I could use some help here. Do you know what I mean?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, I love that. Well, because we're just people and there's so many different religions that they have to all. I think there's different ways to connect to something bigger and to God. There's not like, there's so many cool things about different religions that you're like, we have to be right about this. Like, everyone's right about it. In a way. Probably.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's too coincidental that we just ended up. All of these different people all over the world have essentially very similar concepts. Is that what you're saying?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, I also think different religions do, like, connect to the spirit in different ways. I mean, people connect to God through meditating and they're not Christian, so. And then Christians, like sometimes like speak in tongues and feel the Holy Spirit. So we must all be connecting to something that you don't have to get all the facts right about.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I saw this YouTube video recently. Sorry, if you had something.

[Meg Stalter]

But what did you have?

[Beck Bennett]

I was going to say it'd be nice if we could like all feel that. Like just that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Next time, let's hear about the YouTube video.

[Beck Bennett]

Get it back to Kyle. Go. Go, Kyle.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I don't know if you've seen this, but I'm really.

[Beck Bennett]

Actually, I guess I'm just left the.

[Kyle Mooney]

Other guys to get your thoughts on this over here.

[Beck Bennett]

I'm just sitting here.

[Kyle Mooney]

So I saw this YouTube video and it's recommended to me and anybody. If you find this YouTube video after I mention it, go ahead and link it in the comments, let people know about it because maybe they want to check it out.

[Beck Bennett]

Here we go.

[Kyle Mooney]

This is a video. It's an interview with the smartest man in the world. Okay. And he's asked, does God exist? And he says, yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Is that a real video?

[Beck Bennett]

Awesome. That was.

[Meg Stalter]

Well, there is science that prove.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, that's what he. He breaks it down.

[Meg Stalter]

Jesus definitely existed. I mean, it's literal.

[Beck Bennett]

He did. Yeah, yeah, he's not around, but.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, you're asking me? I'm saying he is.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, so you believe Jesus is still around?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, you're saying the Holy Spirit. That's what I believe. You know, is. But Also, I'm just so. You know, I don't have all the beliefs that church does, obviously, because I am a gay person.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Because there's only a couple of verses and some people interpret it differently. And then also, Jesus never said anything about gay people ever.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

From what I know. So.

[Beck Bennett]

So there you're in the clear.

[Kyle Mooney]

If you feel comfortable with this, I do have a genuine question about your religion and about Jesus.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

And I. And I. This. I don't want this to feel. Gotcha. I'm just.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, gosh, here we go.

[Beck Bennett]

We.

[Kyle Mooney]

And we can. We can take this out.

[Beck Bennett]

What are your. What are your Jesus's favorite videos that he ever made? Like, what?

[Meg Stalter]

That was what you're gonna ask?

[Kyle Mooney]

I just like. I like videos and I feel like.

[Meg Stalter]

I feel like you like the one you're just talking about. I just think that, first of all, amen.

[Beck Bennett]

Hallelujah, sister.

[Kyle Mooney]

I just don't want to.

[Beck Bennett]

Go ahead, ask the question. Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't want this to feel like. Do you think that Jesus turned water into wine?

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Meg Stalter]

That is the easiest. Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

That's an obvious. That's an obvious answer.

[Meg Stalter]

How many miracles that Jesus did in the Bible? The wine, water into wine thing, I mean, that was probably a party. Like, literally.

[Kyle Mooney]

That is definitely a party trick.

[Meg Stalter]

And that's something that, That I would never second guess. No.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay.

[Meg Stalter]

And also, there's so many miracles in today's world of like that. It's like, of course Jesus did those things. I believe.

[Beck Bennett]

No, I gotta say real quick. No, I wanna say you are, you are, you are.

[Kyle Mooney]

You got. I let you go.

[Meg Stalter]

I know, you're right.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

It's my turn.

[Meg Stalter]

The wine question. I thought there was going to be something controversial.

[Beck Bennett]

Unbelievable.

[Meg Stalter]

The water is wine.

[Beck Bennett]

No, it's just. Of course you can do that. Kyle, come on. Okay, I want to say something. So you are. You are young and cool.

[Meg Stalter]

How old do you think I am?

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, I'm going to lose track of my question if this keeps going.

[Beck Bennett]

I honestly don't know. I'm going to say like, oh, I.

[Kyle Mooney]

Know what it is.

[Beck Bennett]

I think it's like late 20s, early. Very early 30s.

[Meg Stalter]

34.

[Beck Bennett]

34. Wow.

[Meg Stalter]

Close. I guess.

[Kyle Mooney]

I remember. I remember being 35. That was a good era.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, it was. But so. But you are. You are saying I'm not dying. I just said she was young and cool. The thing is, you are saying that you're Christian and that, like, I feel like it's not a cool thing to be like, I'm Christian. Especially probably if you're gay, Right. I'm not gay, so I don't know.

[Meg Stalter]

I wouldn't thoughts about it. Like, wait, if she. If someone's a Christian, then that must mean that they don't like gay people and all this stuff. But it doesn't necessarily, I don't think.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Or like, they're conservative or. Yeah, like.

[Meg Stalter]

Yes. I'm not conservative, by the way. I'm not a Republican, and I definitely am very gay, so. But I just never. Yeah, go ahead.

[Beck Bennett]

Do you get, like, pushback, or is that like, you know, do you ever feel this sort of pressure externally at all to, like, to let it go and.

[Kyle Mooney]

You mean to ignore. To, like, kind of like to not.

[Beck Bennett]

Say that you're Christian and to, like, hold it as something. As a part of your identity and something that you're, like, talking about believing in, whatever it may be?

[Meg Stalter]

Well. Oh, my God. I thought that was a picture of me. Who is that?

[Kyle Mooney]

Tina Fey.

[Meg Stalter]

I thought Tina Fey was me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, my God.

[Beck Bennett]

You should host. You should host. That's.

[Kyle Mooney]

That is a really funny.

[Meg Stalter]

I don't know, I thought that.

[Beck Bennett]

It is a funny post. Tina Fey at home base on snl. And Meg thought it was her. Her surrounded by six new cast members.

[Meg Stalter]

I got to say, I actually thought it was me. I'm not kidding.

[Beck Bennett]

That's amazing. Our buddy.

[Kyle Mooney]

Our buddy Brooks wheeling in there.

[Beck Bennett]

He's.

[Kyle Mooney]

He's doing a really good job of staring. Right.

[Beck Bennett]

He's.

[Kyle Mooney]

He's looking right at us.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

You know, I do think people think it's uncool or they do think. I. I think, like, on stage sometimes I'll say something about being a gay Christian or something, and people think I'm kidding, and they're like, I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. And then people get kind of scared. But, um, I think that saying God, girls, like, I'm trying. I try when I say that, that, like, I'm like, I don't agree with everything. Okay. I'm not, you know, like, I don't want you guys making judgments, but I actually think it's healing to hear a gay person say it because a lot of gay people feel like they can't have God after coming out.

[Kyle Mooney]

So I think it's incredibly cool.

[Beck Bennett]

I think it's cool that you.

[Kyle Mooney]

To me, it may. It makes. It makes me comfortable. It just feels like you're opening up in a. In an awesome way.

[Meg Stalter]

Really nice.

[Kyle Mooney]

Kyle, I was gonna ask, in your Christian upbringing. Well, you. You said missions.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, I did. Like, after kind of in the middle of college. Didn't finish college, but I did, like, a program called ywam, which was like, you go to a different country, or sometimes they have bases in America, too. But it's like you go to Bible school for, like, three months, and then you travel and, like, visit different churches. In high school, I was, like, one of the people that were, like, the leaders.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Like, one of the. Like, Like, I wanted to be so involved. Like, we. Our first missions trip was Costa Rica, and it ended up kind of feeling like a vacation. And it was kind of weird because.

[Beck Bennett]

You felt like you should have been doing more work.

[Meg Stalter]

It was like, for the first three days, we were visiting our church and kind of like, they loved that we were there. And the next couple days, it was like we were on a beach resort.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

You feel bad about it.

[Beck Bennett]

You feel bad about it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Showing the beauty that God has created, like a resort.

[Meg Stalter]

We. Since we raised money for the trip, it felt like, okay. But, you know, I actually, like, really love my pastor, and I didn't think he had bad intentions. I think it was like he was taking a bunch of teenagers to show them. Like, I. I think, like, the problem with missions is sometimes you think you're gonna go over and, like, save them and you. And it kind of is like, well, no, but you could go and, like, make friends and kind of, like, experience, like, some.

[Kyle Mooney]

I see.

[Meg Stalter]

Open up to someone else's life, I think.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. See a different way of life and different part of the world.

[Meg Stalter]

Going on the raising money to go on the resort and feel like you're, like, changing lives is, like, kind of. It made me feel weird. But, yeah, we were teenagers, so it's not my fault.

[Kyle Mooney]

It's not even back to Costa Rica.

[Meg Stalter]

What was that?

[Kyle Mooney]

Have you been back to Costa Rica?

[Meg Stalter]

Wait, wait.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's where I learned to surf.

[Meg Stalter]

I did two missions trips there.

[Kyle Mooney]

You did two.

[Beck Bennett]

And was the second one any better? Did you get any better work? Okay.

[Meg Stalter]

You said you learned to surf.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, that's exactly it.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. You just said that. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's actually way. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. But the waves are mellow.

[Meg Stalter]

If you went out right now, you could do it.

[Kyle Mooney]

If I went. Right. If I went to, like, Venice or something like that, I could make. If I had two hours out there, I could catch a wave.

[Meg Stalter]

Really?

[Kyle Mooney]

But I would get so tired.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't have a long time.

[Kyle Mooney]

I haven't swam in a while.

[Meg Stalter]

Are you saying catch a wave because, like, the waves aren't coming, or is it, like, it's hard to get up on the board?

[Kyle Mooney]

I think that. That. I think that, like, I wouldn't be good. I think, like, getting my balance again or. Because it's been a while.

[Meg Stalter]

Do they teach you in the sand like in the movies?

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you know how to surf?

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

You do?

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, I think so.

[Meg Stalter]

How long would it take you to catch a wave?

[Beck Bennett]

Probably a couple minutes. I have gone out with an instructor, but I got the push.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

They pushed the board. Cause, like, you're not. Either you're not able to judge the wave perfectly and catch it, or maybe your arms aren't strong enough. Yeah. To paddle you.

[Kyle Mooney]

It takes a lot of strength away.

[Meg Stalter]

If your arms weren't strong enough.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, because, like, I. You need some. Some movement, otherwise it'll pass you up.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

That's so hard. It's. Yeah, it's a lot.

[Kyle Mooney]

And then up.

[Beck Bennett]

I got up. Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Sort of feels like you're on top of the world.

[Beck Bennett]

It does. It kind of feels like you're riding really up, though.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think it. I think it sort of depends on how long. How far away you are from the shore.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Did you ever yell anything when you were surfing?

[Kyle Mooney]

Here we go.

[Beck Bennett]

Go is a classic surf line.

[Kyle Mooney]

Whoa. Trying to keep my balance. Doing okay?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Wait.

[Beck Bennett]

Whoa.

[Meg Stalter]

Nice.

[Beck Bennett]

That's powerful.

[Meg Stalter]

I can't believe this is happening to me.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beck will probably be like, where'd I park my car?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

That's so like you, Beck. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

What? Where's the nearest bathroom?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, you have to go.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, yeah, that.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't.

[Meg Stalter]

I.

[Kyle Mooney]

We were more on the car.

[Meg Stalter]

If you have to just be on the board.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. If you have to go number two, though, you don't want to be going number two.

[Meg Stalter]

You definitely don't want to be going number 2.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's true.

[Beck Bennett]

All the other surfers will not want you around anymore.

[Kyle Mooney]

They don't. Yeah, we don't like that.

[Meg Stalter]

Scared.

[Kyle Mooney]

We don't like that as much. That scared us.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, sorry. I'm a little scary.

[Meg Stalter]

It just makes you grossed out.

[Beck Bennett]

We don't like it. That was nasty. I am a little gross, I gotta be honest.

[Meg Stalter]

Are you afraid of sharks?

[Beck Bennett]

I am afraid of sharks.

[Meg Stalter]

Maybe that's why I didn't get on the board as much.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I guess I got scared and got out of the ocean. Are you scared of sharks?

[Meg Stalter]

I think I'm scared of them, but I think that the board. I'd be more scared of falling into the board and cracking my head open.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. That is a real fear. And I.

[Meg Stalter]

Or drowning.

[Beck Bennett]

Go ahead.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

How do you feel about coyotes?

[Meg Stalter]

I did see one really close up and I guess what I did, picked my dog up, walked slowly towards the house.

[Beck Bennett]

And did you keep eye contact with the coyote?

[Meg Stalter]

No.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, you're not supposed to turn your back, really.

[Meg Stalter]

Well, I did turn my back, I think. I think you're not supposed to run because it can make them have their instinct, activate them.

[Beck Bennett]

It turns them into a wily coyote and they like that.

[Meg Stalter]

Pick up your animal. Start walking slowly. Ah, nothing to see here.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. I start screaming, no. Yeah. I start going.

[Meg Stalter]

Wait. That actually might. Would work, but I don't know.

[Kyle Mooney]

We actually are supposed to. We get them in our backyard and.

[Meg Stalter]

You'Re supposed to yell at them.

[Kyle Mooney]

There's a name for it. What is it? But no, you're like bang pots and pans and stuff like that.

[Meg Stalter]

Not like at like close up though, right?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, they're probably.

[Meg Stalter]

I guess that is okay because you're going, I'm bigger than you. I'm not scared of you.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think it's called hazing.

[Beck Bennett]

Hazing the coyote.

[Meg Stalter]

Like in college, when you have to go with your hazing.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

So you have to give the coyote a swirly.

[Beck Bennett]

Have you ever done that? Brought a coyote in your house and give him a swirly to get. Just so he'd get away from you.

[Kyle Mooney]

Haha. No. I. I heard you actually had a. A podcast here.

[Beck Bennett]

We would love to have you to host every episode. Yeah. Host every opisode with us. Yeah. You had a podcast?

[Meg Stalter]

I did have one with my brother. Oh, yeah. But I think my. Well, my brother's not a comedian, Nick. But he's so funny. But I think that he. I think it stressed him to have to record. Like, he'd be like, I don't. My headphones get him from the car. He would take 30 minutes.

[Kyle Mooney]

He wasn't in the. Was he in the studio or not?

[Meg Stalter]

We would. Well, it was during the pandemic, so we did record it all from home remotely. Or I think we had one episode where we recorded in New York. But he's so funny and good at it. But I think he's a painter. He's a tattoo artist, so he loves to create, but he didn't love being. I think the process of. He loved doing it. But the setup of the podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, sure. Was in the spotlight and that sort of thing.

[Meg Stalter]

I think it's like setting up the mic.

[Beck Bennett]

It's like, ugh, I think I'd rather be doing it.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm truly. You're exhausting me just here, like, oh, my God, it's so fun to show up.

[Meg Stalter]

And it's set up. Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thank you. And thank you to our producers because they make it very easy for us.

[Beck Bennett]

Thank you, Anya and Casey. You guys are crushing it over there. Now, look, I want to get more into. God, I want to get more into our roots, but I feel like we have to move on to.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. We gotta start talking about what. So. So you were told. I wonder, maybe you got an email.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah. To come up with a word.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. How was the. How did you talk us through the process of learning this information?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, first of all, I mean, the podcast isn't out yet. Right.

[Beck Bennett]

Right. So you don't. You have no rest.

[Meg Stalter]

Find the episodes.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. You. You looked.

[Meg Stalter]

I knew I would have heard about it.

[Kyle Mooney]

Is there a moment where you're like, oh, they. I can't even find these.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm not kidding. Honestly, I thought, I love them. They're so funny. I'd love to do the podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh.

[Meg Stalter]

No matter what it was about, whether it, you know, I just figured I trust them.

[Beck Bennett]

That's so fun.

[Meg Stalter]

At first it was just asking to do your podcast, and then it said, okay, you got to think of a word.

[Kyle Mooney]

Podcast.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

But I mean, so fun.

[Beck Bennett]

And we're. We're asking you to do some work, obviously.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And trying to keep it as minimal as possible.

[Meg Stalter]

Just one word.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, it's like, what you think our podcast should be about.

[Meg Stalter]

Fashion.

[Beck Bennett]

Wow. There it is.

[Kyle Mooney]

Cool.

[Beck Bennett]

Fashion. Okay. Make thinks our podcast should. We should do a podcast about fashion. That's what our podcast should be about.

[Meg Stalter]

Are you gonna choose, like, who the winner is?

[Kyle Mooney]

That actually hasn't been determined yet, but possibly it might be that, like, we end up after. We need to do. At some point, we need to do some sort of episode that, like, we need to have a conversation, a conversation with. Amongst ourselves, about, like, are any of these viable podcasts that we should really pursue? Or should we just keep on going with people pitching us ideas until we know for sure? And also the listeners can weigh in.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. And I think we're gonna have them weigh in. There's a potential where we have them weigh in. They pick, and then we try that podcast for, like, you know, a couple.

[Kyle Mooney]

Episodes if Fashion or all the rest of them.

[Beck Bennett]

What's up?

[Meg Stalter]

Like, you could also. If everyone likes fashion, you could do all of the episodes about it.

[Beck Bennett]

That's what I'm saying.

[Meg Stalter]

No, you're not. You said a couple episodes.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, but all of them move.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, you said, oh, a couple episodes. And I said, or all of them.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think if today goes well enough.

[Meg Stalter]

Fashion Boys, it could.

[Beck Bennett]

Fashion Boys.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's a great. That's a great name.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, and I can.

[Kyle Mooney]

Should that be the name of our podcast?

[Meg Stalter]

What is the name of the podcast?

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, this is. What's our podcast?

[Meg Stalter]

What's our podcast? Of course.

[Kyle Mooney]

But Fashion Boy, you think will brand it as Fashion Boys?

[Beck Bennett]

I actually think that there's. There's a lot of potential there. Fashion Boys.

[Kyle Mooney]

I. I have thoughts and questions immediately.

[Beck Bennett]

I honestly, like, if this. If this goes well enough, we could even just have a Fashion Boys segment.

[Meg Stalter]

If this goes well enough, we could do a couple episodes about it.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't fucking sound like that.

[Meg Stalter]

A couple. Well, that's the same as doing one. Well, we're already doing.

[Beck Bennett]

No. Well, that. We're just doing 20 minutes.

[Meg Stalter]

You're saying a part one and two.

[Beck Bennett]

So you want. So, okay, so you want us to do all our podcasts about fashion.

[Meg Stalter]

That's what you asked.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, I'm actually with both of you because here's the thing.

[Beck Bennett]

And I'm with you, too.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't stand by the couple of them.

[Meg Stalter]

What should my pocket podcast be about? I didn't just. I didn't sign up to do a little game.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, you're right.

[Beck Bennett]

And I'm there, right there with you.

[Kyle Mooney]

It could become the podcast.

[Meg Stalter]

A lot about this.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

You're everything. You're doing everything right. I don't know what.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't know what. I think you could.

[Meg Stalter]

There's so much to say about fashion. You could interview models.

[Kyle Mooney]

Save it, because we're gonna go.

[Beck Bennett]

We're gonna go do. We're gonna go do our podcast about fashion.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, let's. Let's go check out our new show about fashion.

[Beck Bennett]

Go live.

[Kyle Mooney]

[Beck Bennett]

And I was like, 1,000%. She's a star. And you're here. She's.

[Kyle Mooney]

As if, you know, David Copperfield himself made you a. You know.

I know I'm pretty. I know you know my name. You've never used it. And that's all good. But we're friends.

[Meg Stalter]

What's up, Mr. Be.

[Kyle Mooney]

Mr. B.

[Meg Stalter]

Remember Mr. Bean?

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, my gosh. Mr. Bean. And he was a fashion icon, of course, with his tie and his jacket.

[Kyle Mooney]

Was he wearing a suit? Was he.

[Meg Stalter]

It is so fun to be around you guys. I. I feel like the rest of the day I'm just gonna be riding high for being around you.

[Kyle Mooney]

And that's. And we hear that so much. But it still feels nice to hear it.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Especially feels nice to hear from you.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And you know, I'm gonna. I feel like I'm gonna.

[Meg Stalter]

What did you mean by that?

[Beck Bennett]

Because, you know, it feels nice to hear from you.

[Meg Stalter]

You.

[Beck Bennett]

Because sometimes I'm not sure if you actually do feel good about being after being around us, because I know we're friends, but sometimes I'm kind of like.

[Meg Stalter]

You'Re talking about the Christmas party.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay. People act crazy on the holidays.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I know, but you were like. You were like, I don't know your name. And you were like singing.

[Meg Stalter]

First of all, I was saying that to a lot of people.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't know your name.

[Meg Stalter]

It was like a fun Christmas song on the record.

[Kyle Mooney]

I loved the bit.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, it was a bit. I was doing a part party bit every. Well, people know me for my party bits.

[Kyle Mooney]

There's always going to be somebody who's just too hurt by the bit. Get over it.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. No, it wasn't me. I think it was somebody else, actually.

[Meg Stalter]

Kyle, you love the bit where I'd be like, oh, do you want a sip of my champagne? And then it would be milk that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Cuz I felt for it every.

[Meg Stalter]

Even that champagne. Doesn't even look like milk.

[Kyle Mooney]

He's not going to fall for.

[Beck Bennett]

I was like, is this every single time? Are you.

[Kyle Mooney]

You know, it's like, I don't know if you remember that old cartoon, Charlie Brown.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

There was a character on it.

[Beck Bennett]

I know what that is.

[Kyle Mooney]

Give me one moment to talk to the guests. There was a character on it.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Lucy. I don't know if you know of this character.

[Meg Stalter]

Brown hair.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. Dark hair, definitely. Oh, she would carry. She would have a football, and she would always sort of, you know, sort of try to talk Charlie Brown into coming and kicking the football. But every. And every time you're like, you're not gonna. Are you gonna take the ball away and am I gonna fall on my. On my back? And she'd always make it seem like, not this time.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

But guess what?

[Meg Stalter]

This time.

[Kyle Mooney]

What do you mean?

[Meg Stalter]

Like, like, not this time, but it is gonna be this time. Like, she's like, it's not gonna be this time. Yeah, it is.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Look at what you were saying. I'm not.

[Kyle Mooney]

Of course she would take away the football.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, right. And say, it's this time. Right.

[Kyle Mooney]

I don't think she's.

[Meg Stalter]

You're saying the joke is, oh, not this time. I'm not gonna do it. But then, yes, this time I'm gonna do it.

[Beck Bennett]

Right, exactly.

[Meg Stalter]

Is that what you're saying?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I think that's exactly.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, exactly.

[Meg Stalter]

And who could forget that beautiful blue gown that she's always wearing?

[Beck Bennett]

I was gonna say, can't forget the iconic yellow shirt with the black little squiggle line.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. And I've seen. And now one of the really interesting things to me is that's a shirt from a cartoon or a comic strip, right?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

I've seen people wearing these in real life. You can get these shirts.

[Meg Stalter]

The blue dress. Oh, the yellow shirt.

[Beck Bennett]

You can get a blue dress, too. I think I've seen a blue dress.

[Kyle Mooney]

Around Charlie Brown, and I think they did the blue dress, so.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, because they have a costume designer, so they can make whatever garment they want.

[Beck Bennett]

Wait, who has a costume designer?

[Meg Stalter]

The Charlie Brown play?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes, absolutely.

[Beck Bennett]

Have you seen the Charlie Brown play?

[Meg Stalter]

I've not seen it live, but I've seen clips online.

[Beck Bennett]

I've seen photos of it.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, so you haven't seen it?

[Beck Bennett]

No, no, no, no, no, I haven't seen that.

[Kyle Mooney]

I love. I love those.

[Meg Stalter]

I just can't believe you're upset about the bit I did 20 years ago.

[Beck Bennett]

Dude, I was doing a bit.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, oh.

[Kyle Mooney]

Did somebody get out bit.

[Beck Bennett]

I was. I was not upset about you not remembering my name at the Christmas party. Are you kidding me?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, you. Okay, so.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, so what?

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, okay, so ins and outs, put away your snouts. What are you. What are they on the streets talking about? What is your.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm sorry if I did that.

[Beck Bennett]

It's okay.

[Meg Stalter]

I would never have done that song if I thought it would hurt you.

[Beck Bennett]

And it's all good. I just. I think I probably.

[Kyle Mooney]

Come on, tell me, what's your name?

[Meg Stalter]

Everybody say what's your name? How's that? That's not specific to just you.

[Beck Bennett]

I think it was probably.

[Meg Stalter]

I was pointing at Santa at the beginning of the song for sure. And what's his name?

[Beck Bennett]

I have. I had a tendency at that time in my life to make everything about me, you know, Ins and outs. I taken too much mushrooms that night and I'd mix problem.

[Meg Stalter]

And that's your own Damn problem, Mr. B. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And I have to be more responsible for what I put into my body and how it affects my brain. So I do apologize.

[Meg Stalter]

I don't have any beef with you.

[Beck Bennett]

I have absolutely no beef.

[Meg Stalter]

And in fact, I think I sent you a big basket of candy on your last day at a snow.

[Beck Bennett]

You did.

[Meg Stalter]

And congratulate you.

[Beck Bennett]

Thank you so much. Yeah. A bunch of jawbreakers.

[Meg Stalter]

So funny.

[Beck Bennett]

Because it's like you have to be online. That's the last thing.

[Meg Stalter]

I left a note. Don't break your jaw tonight.

[Kyle Mooney]

Fashion faux pas.

[Meg Stalter]

I think I'd have to say long sleeve T shirts.

[Kyle Mooney]

Now.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Was that like a. Oh, snap.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm kidding.

[Kyle Mooney]

You just got a Fashion Boys exclusive.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm kidding. Bea. Come on. You guys can't see it, but Beck.

[Kyle Mooney]

Is wearing the longest sleeve. You guys can't see this shirt right now, but if you can imagine these sleeves were. We walked from one studio to another. The sleeves were dragging.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm so playing with you.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, God. Thank God. Honestly, this girl is tripping me up. Cuz I actually put this on for May. Cuz. I know. Cuz I thought she would love this long sleeve.

[Meg Stalter]

Do you think on my last day of hacks you're going to send me something?

[Beck Bennett]

I do.

[Meg Stalter]

What are you going to send me?

[Beck Bennett]

I'm going to send you.

[Kyle Mooney]

What are you going to send me?

[Beck Bennett]

I'm going to send you some. All Some fruit leather.

[Kyle Mooney]

Fruit leather?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, I'm allergic.

[Beck Bennett]

Beef sticks.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm vegetarian.

[Beck Bennett]

Walnuts.

[Meg Stalter]

I can do that.

[Beck Bennett]

And I'm. And I'm gonna send it all in a basket. And I'll put a little. And. And a little. And a little turtle. One of those ones that you get in. In New York City. Like a mini turtle.

[Meg Stalter]

I already have one of those.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, is it. Do you have. Is it a boy or a girl?

[Meg Stalter]

Sorry, what was that?

[Beck Bennett]

Is your turtle a boy or a girl?

[Meg Stalter]

I never looked underneath. Come on.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, well, I'll get you one of each so that they can. Maybe they can mate and create a little family of turtles.

[Meg Stalter]

Kyle, will I be receiving a gift from you even though I didn't send you one?

[Kyle Mooney]

Do we know when season five is?

[Beck Bennett]

Not necessarily. Is it? We don't know.

[Meg Stalter]

We don't know. I mean, I. I can see them having some sort of spin off with me after.

[Beck Bennett]

I could definitely see.

[Kyle Mooney]

I would be.

[Beck Bennett]

Actually, I've seen. I think I've seen some chatter of that.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah. So I don't know if it's end for me. Of course not. But is it then for everyone? Of course not. We don't know there might be a Hacks Christmas movie. We don't know.

[Beck Bennett]

Or there could be a hacks Halloween movie.

[Meg Stalter]

I don't know if we do Halloween.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah. I would be getting you something. I will. I will have to ask my producers. If you just make a note when we. When we figure out what Meg's final day is on Hacks, I would love.

[Beck Bennett]

To I get killed in the first.

[Meg Stalter]

Episode of the next season so you could send me my basket on the first day of set.

[Kyle Mooney]

I guess I didn't know we were getting spoilers on Fashion boys.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm kidding, you guys. I'm kidding. They would never kill off such a beloved character.

[Beck Bennett]

No, they would not. They could not. But that would be a cool move.

[Kyle Mooney]

We asked this to all our guests.

[Meg Stalter]

What do you mean a cool move?

[Beck Bennett]

It'd be cool to kill you.

[Kyle Mooney]

We asked us to all in the show.

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, it'd be a wild. It'd be like games season 5.

[Meg Stalter]

The scene opened up, Kayla gets shot in the back of the head. That's cool to you?

[Beck Bennett]

Well, it'd be definitely draw a lot of viewers. And it'd be like games draw a lot of blood.

[Kyle Mooney]

What was. What was there a fashion mistake you made when you were a kid?

[Meg Stalter]

Totally. Oh, my God. I love this question.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, absolutely.

[Meg Stalter]

So I was addicted to wearing a little Hawaiian T shirt.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh really?

[Meg Stalter]

Like those kind of Hawaiian button up. Great. I said butt ups.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, it sounded like button. You know, it's funny. Like I heard button up. I didn't even hear.

[Meg Stalter]

But your brain's so trained to hear the right things, right?

[Beck Bennett]

I barely heard butt up.

[Meg Stalter]

You what?

[Beck Bennett]

I barely heard you say butt up.

[Meg Stalter]

So you did hear me say it a little bit.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

I think I was just always wanting to feel like I was on vacation. So I was constantly making like. But of course, if you're not on.

[Kyle Mooney]

Vacation, just like that currently.

[Meg Stalter]

What was that?

[Kyle Mooney]

I think a lot of my friends dress like that.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And sometimes fashion's a way to escape your reality, you know, I become somebody else, I guess, and.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, you know, I did that before that. I regret I didn't hear the last part.

[Beck Bennett]

He's never thought about that before.

[Kyle Mooney]

So are you escape from reality?

[Beck Bennett]

Yes. Just become somebody else?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Sorry, I'm a little lost.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, you're good. No, you know what I did when college, I have this regret. There was a moment I saw, like, some.

[Beck Bennett]

I saw.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think.

[Meg Stalter]

Wait, he's still talking. What'd you say?

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, that's all good. Let's go ahead and give that to.

[Meg Stalter]

Sorry. Go ahead, Kyle.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay. He's fine.

[Meg Stalter]

Okay, you go.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was gonna say I. There was a moment in college for probably maybe two months or so.

[Meg Stalter]

It's a little distracting because he's crying.

[Kyle Mooney]

Do you want to step out?

[Meg Stalter]

Are you upset with something I said?

[Kyle Mooney]

Beck is wearing. This is the longest sleeve shirt I've ever seen.

[Meg Stalter]

I was playing around. I don't. I think that's a completely normal fashion choice. I like that you have long sleeves.

[Beck Bennett]

Thank you.

[Meg Stalter]

And, Kyle, what were you gonna say about college?

[Kyle Mooney]

So I. I started.

[Meg Stalter]

If you're gonna breathe like that, just push the mic away.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, God.

[Meg Stalter]

God.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, okay, okay. All right. What was happening to you in college?

[Kyle Mooney]

I was just going to say there was a moment where I was. I was. I. I started wearing a. Like a. I would tie a shoelace around my head and wear it. Like a head. Like a headband.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, was this when I was in London?

[Kyle Mooney]

Possibly.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't remember that.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like I would go to, like, Tiger Heat, and.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, that's when I was in London. Kyle tried to get away with this when I was in London because he knew he wouldn't be able to get away with this one.

[Meg Stalter]

What would you do if you saw him in one fling? Like, flick it so it bashed back in his head?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Pull it. And then I go, let me try that on. Yeah, it was him. And then I would. I'd be like, this is my new thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

I think we might have talked about this once before. Podcast. I don't know, but I think there was like in the post royal Tenenbaums, there was sort of like a head. A headband resurgence. I guess it was probably happening in the NBA at the same time as well.

[Beck Bennett]

Sure. Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

By the way, I loved your Devil Wears Prada episode.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

But I felt like you guys were a little bit weird to what's her name? Ann Hathaway.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, she was weird to us, I thought, cuz she started Episode of Fashion Boys, right? Yeah. Episode of Fashion Boys.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yes.

[Beck Bennett]

Where it's like you thought you picked out that blue sweater. No, the designers picked out that up for you two years ago on the Runway. And I was just making a T.

[Meg Stalter]

Of weird stuff about her performance in the movie, which I thought like had nothing to do with fashion.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, yeah, no, it was just like kind of like how I feel about like the way she looks and like in clothes.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, I mean, she looks absolutely stunning in the movie. The whole joke is that like before her makeover, she still looked amazing, you know?

[Kyle Mooney]

That is the whole joke.

[Beck Bennett]

That's the whole joke of the movie is that she.

[Meg Stalter]

No, not of the movie. Just it's like an immediate. Oh my gosh. Like. Yeah. Oh, she needed to makeover. No, she looks stunning, Meg.

[Kyle Mooney]

I remember them saying about that. That about she's all that too.

[Meg Stalter]

I thought you're gonna say about you. Yes. And she's all that.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh my gosh. That's such a fashion moment. They take off the glasses, put her hair down, all of a sudden she's hot.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah. Kyle kind of had a moment like that. You know, he. Kyle used to have short hair.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Don't do this kind of straight short.

[Beck Bennett]

Hair, kind of like try to kind of go off. Frat guy kind of. And you know, he's trying to be tough. Trying to be. And then at some point he let his hair down, he put the glasses on, he be. He became. And he morphed.

[Meg Stalter]

Are you saying the makeover is when he put the glasses on?

[Beck Bennett]

When he put his hair down and he put the glasses.

[Meg Stalter]

But you're saying the putting the glasses on is a makeover.

[Beck Bennett]

Exactly.

[Kyle Mooney]

Because typically a makeover is taking glasses off.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah. I love glasses though.

[Beck Bennett]

I do too.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, I got my contacts in right now. I'm going to take my glasses to the shop and maybe get some new lenses.

[Beck Bennett]

O what kind of. Oh, speaking of fashion, do you think you're going to get go color Len color frames or.

[Meg Stalter]

I don't think they let you return the. The frames. I think you just have to buy new glasses.

[Beck Bennett]

Wait, oh no, no.

[Kyle Mooney]

I go to, I go to a shop.

[Beck Bennett]

They.

[Kyle Mooney]

I take in my vintage frames and.

[Meg Stalter]

They keep the old vintage frames.

[Kyle Mooney]

No, I get them back. I bring my frame.

[Meg Stalter]

Confused.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, I'm so sorry.

[Beck Bennett]

How can I.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can I go back?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah. So you're saying that you take in your glasses and you get new frames?

[Kyle Mooney]

No, you get new lenses.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh, your eye. I'm sorry, I didn't know your eye was changing that much. Your eyesight's changing that much?

[Kyle Mooney]

No, no, no. I just sometimes I get scratches in the lenses.

[Meg Stalter]

Oh my gosh. Okay, well, so that's where I'm lost is cuz I never scratch my lenses.

[Kyle Mooney]

All good?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

I guess I don't wear glasses enough to get the scuffs up and scratches.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, you're in.

[Meg Stalter]

Because I'm in context. If I wear glasses, guess what? Immediate headache.

[Kyle Mooney]

Really?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, it's a pressure point thing, I think.

[Kyle Mooney]

Did you wear. What time. Was there a moment when you start wearing glasses or contacts?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, yeah, that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Were you a child?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

In about maybe. Wait, I don't know. I don't know.

[Kyle Mooney]

Elementary school, middle school.

[Meg Stalter]

I want to say child, but then I go, I don't have any memory of wearing glasses or contacts as a child.

[Beck Bennett]

What?

[Meg Stalter]

So now I'm like actually panicked right now because now I feel sick to my stomach. I'm like, when did I start wearing these?

[Beck Bennett]

That's crazy.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm not even doing a joke. Like I actually am really scared right now.

[Kyle Mooney]

I started wearing mine. I think.

[Beck Bennett]

Can you, can you ask your somebody who you grew up with if they.

[Meg Stalter]

Remember if I was wearing contacts?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Or a family member?

[Meg Stalter]

So hard because I don't even know if you guys know I'm wearing them right now.

[Beck Bennett]

I wouldn't have known.

[Meg Stalter]

I just. Do I remember. Do you have a memory of that?

[Kyle Mooney]

I remember. I remember. I. I apologize.

[Beck Bennett]

I didn't mean to.

[Kyle Mooney]

In eighth grade, I think I took an eye test and I didn't do that well. And it was surprising to me. It was like the first time that I didn't do well. And I don't think I got. I think somebody's like, you might need to get glasses. And then the next year, my freshman year in high school, I got my first, first pair of glasses. But I'd only really wear them in class to see the board or to drive. Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

And what was the moment that you knew you were a fashion God? Like when, what was your into fashion?

[Meg Stalter]

You know, I think when I first started modeling, I felt Like, I had a window into the fashion world when I was model, of course, which I guess I still am, but what's the model?

[Beck Bennett]

Always a model.

[Meg Stalter]

No, no, I actually still model. I just walked the Victoria's Secret.

[Beck Bennett]

Really? Well, yeah, of course. Yeah. Well, I'm not watching. No, I know, because I'm a fashion boy and. Of course. But it's kind of. As a fashion boy, I try not to. I know.

[Meg Stalter]

That's why you had me on.

[Beck Bennett]

Of course.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm an actor. But are you okay?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I'm okay. I just had a little dry spot in my throat.

[Meg Stalter]

I think, when I started modeling, which was before I got glasses because I was a teenager. But I think. Yeah, I think, like, that was like. Okay. Yeah. Like, I'm invited to the party. There's a seat at the table for me.

[Beck Bennett]

That's amazing.

[Kyle Mooney]

Who's the most fashionable person in the world?

[Meg Stalter]

You know?

[Kyle Mooney]

God.

[Meg Stalter]

[Beck Bennett]

I think it's like. Maybe it's kind of like a chef.

[Meg Stalter]

Which kind? Which, like.

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, I always go back to Chef Boyardee.

[Kyle Mooney]

He kind of had one look.

[Meg Stalter]

Really? You think Chef Boy D is the most fashionable person? Really?

[Beck Bennett]

Well.

[Meg Stalter]

Really? No. Really? No.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, I do. I think he just picked one thing and he went with it. And that's like. It's like a clean white slate.

[Meg Stalter]

You know what? I have to go because you know that that's my ex. You know that?

[Beck Bennett]

I do know that.

[Meg Stalter]

And so I know you're saying that to piss me off.

[Beck Bennett]

So.

[Meg Stalter]

Kyle, come on. I mean, everybody knows that. It's all over the table. We got a divorce, like, two years ago.

[Beck Bennett]

Come on.

[Meg Stalter]

Well.

[Beck Bennett]

But he's still a really well dressed guy.

[Meg Stalter]

You're.

And I'm. I'm sorry if that's a hot button issue for you, but I still definitely.

[Kyle Mooney]

Want to apologize for Beck. We're. We never try to bring the personal stuff into the shows.

[Meg Stalter]

He knows that we dated.

[Beck Bennett]

Of course. Everybody knows that you guys dated.

[Meg Stalter]

And so. Why would you say that? There's so many other chefs that wear the exact same damn thing.

Fashion.

Fashion comes from the. Comes from the streets.

[Meg Stalter]

Right?

[Kyle Mooney]

And it's not.

[Meg Stalter]

You know what, Kyle? You're the only one that's keeping, like, your hands on your, like, literal topic of the podcast. Because Mr. B just brought me here to really piss me off, and you know that. And like, I don't even know if maybe he pulled a fast one on you even having to be fully honest.

[Kyle Mooney]

I wasn't aware that he's gonna bring any of this up. I do apologize. I would love to have you back again.

[Meg Stalter]

You guys didn't even ask me anything about my ads I've done.

[Kyle Mooney]

What was your favorite one?

[Meg Stalter]

Well, like, it's like you're asking because I'm making you. Well, no.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can I say what I'm hairspray ad?

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Can I tell you what I'm a big fan of?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

The. Those tank tops. The. Yeah, it was a jeans company. That was. It was.

[Meg Stalter]

That was a different plus size model, Kyle. That was not me, Kyle. I literally work with a two tank top company, so I'm not allowed to do a tank top ad.

[Kyle Mooney]

I'm. I feel like you're. No. Cuz. You did because you work with Wrangler.

[Meg Stalter]

Every brunette with a fat ass looks the same to you.

[Kyle Mooney]

You work with Wrangler now.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, he has said that he do.

[Meg Stalter]

Not work with Wrangler anymore.

[Kyle Mooney]

So you did work with Wrangler.

[Meg Stalter]

My God, yes. In 2013.

[Kyle Mooney]

And they did the.

[Beck Bennett]

They.

[Kyle Mooney]

I thought I could. Swore they did tank tops that year.

[Meg Stalter]

We did tube tops. Wrangler was doing tube tops.

[Kyle Mooney]

I mean, the Wrangler tube tops. I loved those.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, that sounds like a lie.

[Meg Stalter]

Now I know.

[Beck Bennett]

Because that.

[Meg Stalter]

The whole.

[Kyle Mooney]

The whole campaign was.

[Meg Stalter]

It was literally shaking.

[Kyle Mooney]

It was a film noir thing.

[Beck Bennett]

Right.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm having a diabetic sugar thing.

[Kyle Mooney]

It was a film noir campaign.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Sort of. You're in the shadows and the.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. That was not me.

[Kyle Mooney]

That wasn't you?

[Meg Stalter]

No.

[Beck Bennett]

Who was that?

[Meg Stalter]

That was Becky Stringler.

[Kyle Mooney]

Stringler?

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

I thought it was Gina G. She.

[Meg Stalter]

Has gotten too overweight and she can't model anymore.

[Kyle Mooney]

I am so sorry.

[Beck Bennett]

I'm so sorry.

[Kyle Mooney]

I feel like we've sort of. I feel like a bit here, too.

[Meg Stalter]

It's okay. I mean, I feel like it's okay. I. I feel like. Yeah. You guys watch Hacks and that's why you wanted me. I thought you wanted me here because I am talking about fashion.

[Kyle Mooney]

And now I'm seeing that all you.

[Meg Stalter]

Wanted to do is bring up my ex and the damn Christmas party. Which, by the way, if you weren't complaining when you're eating my sugar cookies.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, no, of course that wasn't. The sugar cookies are amazing. I love the sugar cookies.

[Meg Stalter]

Hey. Hi. The joke pissed me off. Okay. Oh, I'm a little off put. It's the holidays.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay. And just. And I should have just said that and should have come clean instead of burying it forever and then bringing it up here and bringing up your ex. Boyardee.

[Kyle Mooney]

That is good.

[Beck Bennett]

I did learn a lesson.

[Meg Stalter]

You know, it was a messy divorce and, you know, I don't have my children, and I.

[Beck Bennett]

Honestly, bringing it up was unfashionable.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, this has been Fat Fat Fashion. Everybody makes a noise Fashion boys. But go ahead and grab.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm sorry.

[Beck Bennett]

No, you don't.

[Meg Stalter]

About the party.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't have to apologize for any.

[Meg Stalter]

You'll never see me at a party again.

[Kyle Mooney]

No.

[Beck Bennett]

Hey, if. If we come out of this and you and I never see you at a party again and nobody ever sees you at a party again, that's going to be. That. That's going to be the worst outcome.

[Meg Stalter]

I would rather like, literally never go to a party again. And you're making me want to move to Jamaica because you're so hard.

[Beck Bennett]

There's so many parties in Jamaica, though.

[Meg Stalter]

No, I'm saying I know that you probably won't. Like, you never take a vacation. I'm going to move to Jamaica. You'll never see me again is what I'm saying.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay, look, you can move to Jamaica if you want.

[Meg Stalter]

Wait, and I will.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't want you to. And like, I will do anything within my power to, like, keep you here in LA and prevent you from going to Jamaica.

[Meg Stalter]

That sounds really scary.

[Beck Bennett]

No, I mean, like, I'm gonna create like a new line of clothing.

[Meg Stalter]

I'm telling my power of attorney you said that. And it's scaring me that you're gonna force me to live here.

[Beck Bennett]

That's not binding.

[Meg Stalter]

Nothing even films here anymore.

[Beck Bennett]

It's not binding.

[Meg Stalter]

Except for Hacks, which is amazing.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, we love.

[Meg Stalter]

But we might be on our last season. And then why like, nothing else films here.

[Beck Bennett]

Right?

[Meg Stalter]

So. And you're just saying that.

[Beck Bennett]

So you're going to go to Jamaica?

[Meg Stalter]

Why did you say it like that?

[Beck Bennett]

No, I just.

[Meg Stalter]

Jamaica, like sarcastically, like, okay, girl, have fun in Jamaica.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay. And Kyle is stiffening up. Kyle's getting stiff over here. You know what that means? It's time to end this, the show.

[Meg Stalter]

I love you guys.

[Beck Bennett]

We love you too. And honestly, the drama.

[Kyle Mooney]

We love to have you back. We'd love to make it up to you. We'd love to visit you in Jamaica.

[Beck Bennett]

In Jamaica and on one of your campaigns on set. We would love to come see you and be in your dress.

[Meg Stalter]

You are not coming on set.

[Beck Bennett]

Okay.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay, we would love to, but I'd.

[Meg Stalter]

Love to get dinner with you at Altimers.

[Beck Bennett]

You know, I would love that.

[Kyle Mooney]

Cuz, you know, we. We know, we know some of the hacks people. There's some of Beck's closest friends.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[Kyle Mooney]

Could they, could they. Could they get the two of us on there?

[Meg Stalter]

I feel like they're only doing one more season and it's kind of like they already said, like, no new characters.

[Beck Bennett]

They said that we're probably too. We're probably too famous to just be. Blend into the old.

[Meg Stalter]

I know there is like a lot of famous cameos though, by ourselves.

[Beck Bennett]

I mean, probably have to play ourselves back in Kyle.

[Meg Stalter]

Yeah, but I think they said something about like, no new characters.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Meg Stalter]

Since it's like gonna maybe be the last season. They're gonna back. Bring back like everyone they already had.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, sort of.

[Meg Stalter]

There's just such a Rolodex, like. And also it's like you guys are so close. Like, I feel like you could have texted them that in the other season.

[Beck Bennett]

But it's like Too close. You know what I mean?

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah.

[Beck Bennett]

Like, I don't want to, like, burn that bridge of our friendship.

[Meg Stalter]

Why can't you just show up on set, see if there's something to do?

[Beck Bennett]

That's actually not a bad idea. I actually saw somebody who did that recently, and I'm not going to say his name.

[Meg Stalter]

Like, like, someone that showed up on set and started helping out, and then.

[Beck Bennett]

They'Re, like, got on camera.

[Kyle Mooney]

They.

[Beck Bennett]

They came to visit their friend.

[Kyle Mooney]

Set out to do that?

[Beck Bennett]

No, I think it. I think they did, but I think it was, like, what did they do?

[Meg Stalter]

They just hang out. Oh, yeah, I'll be in the shop.

[Beck Bennett]

Not really adjacent.

[Meg Stalter]

Ellen DeGeneres.

[Beck Bennett]

It was Ellen. She came to a set I was on and was like, hey, that's only. Could you guys use me? I don't know. I don't really do an Ellen depression. I don't do an Ellen depression.

[Meg Stalter]

Well, I just want you to know I would love for you guys to be in the show. I wish I had was in charge of that.

[Kyle Mooney]

We love everything you do. And by the way, you're an incredibly fashionable person.

[Beck Bennett]

Yes, you are.

[Meg Stalter]

What's one of my favorite looks? What's one of my looks? That's your favorite.

[Beck Bennett]

The blue.

[Meg Stalter]

No. That's all you had to say. Kyle, what about you?

[Beck Bennett]

Silver Emmys.

[Kyle Mooney]

Oh, yikes. This has been fashion Boys, and we can't wait to see your new looks.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, thanks.

[Kyle Mooney]

Thanks to Meg Stalter.

[Beck Bennett]

Thanks to Meg Stalter. We rolling. Rolling on cameras.

[Kyle Mooney]

So Meg, she had a meeting to get to, so that's why she's not hanging out with us.

[Beck Bennett]

We were running long, but it's our fault. But, wow, what an episode. That was so fun. I'm like, I just went on the Meg Stalter roller coaster.

[Kyle Mooney]

Okay?

[Beck Bennett]

She can riff, she can riff, she can mess, she can make moves. She's. She's just comfortable sitting in it, talking about God and the next minute coming after you and being like, boom, boom, boom. Just freaking.

[Kyle Mooney]

Which I. You know, what I loved about it was that, like, I think that. And, you know, the listeners will probably have a say in this, but I think our riffing can be fun sometimes. I'm like, oh, that is. That's good for podcasts sometimes.

[Beck Bennett]

What? Riffing? Yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't say that. I don't think it's good for podcasts, but even though we do it a lot.

[Kyle Mooney]

All right, dude, I'm riffing with you.

[Beck Bennett]

Oh, did you see what I did?

[Kyle Mooney]

See this is what I feel. I feel like I've been on a roller coaster all day.

[Beck Bennett]

I don't know what's real. I did, I, I honestly did get a little nervous when she asked us to call out her videos.

[Kyle Mooney]

I've seen, I swear I've seen so many of them.

[Beck Bennett]

I really have, too. But I, I, I will say what I kind of started to say very inarticulately was that, like, she's just, she has a style of performing. She just. Her being Meg, like, whether the characters are different, she just has a way of talking and a presence that is kind of always funny to me. Not to just generalize, but, like, I would just watch her videos and, like, kind of just enjoy her.

[Kyle Mooney]

Absolutely.

[Beck Bennett]

And I feel like she has that same quality on hacks and really everything she does, she's just funny to watch, which would be.

[Kyle Mooney]

Yeah, she's on hacks. And I don't know when this, this episode you're listening to to is out in the world, but you definitely can catch her new show Too much on Netflix July 10th.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, so we're way past that.

[Kyle Mooney]

You watch it now still.

[Beck Bennett]

Go watch it. Give it a second boost, listeners. Go give it that resurgence boost that HBO is looking for.

[Kyle Mooney]

Netflix. She's Louise.

[Meg Stalter]

Hey.

[Beck Bennett]

It's not that offensive. I'm sorry, but it is Netflix.

[Kyle Mooney]

Well, I always, Always an interesting time with you back.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah, really interesting.

[Kyle Mooney]

I was gonna ask you.

[Beck Bennett]

Sorry, guys. Sorry about the Netflix stuff. I, I just, I think that you're great.

[Kyle Mooney]

You did great.

[Beck Bennett]

You did.

[Kyle Mooney]

You had a great day. You had a great day.

[Beck Bennett]

You don't have to say that. I cried on camera, but that was great.

[Kyle Mooney]

Awesome. And that was like you showing your. The way you really feel and people that you're. What that does is that connects with people.

[Beck Bennett]

The vulnerability like we talked about.

[Kyle Mooney]

Exactly. Can I get a ride home?

[Beck Bennett]

I'm going to. I'm gonna go to mix to get a salad.

[Kyle Mooney]

That's right. Okay.

[Beck Bennett]

So as long as you're fine with the sound.

[Kyle Mooney]

I would rather order a car. I don't want to have to. I don't have to sit there with. To see why you're like, how about some more, some more of that lettuce? Whatever you do.

[Beck Bennett]

I'm not going to be like that. I'll be like, do you like, do you like. Which kind of chicken do you like? The char chicken or the chicken?

[Kyle Mooney]

I still don't want to do it, but okay.

[Beck Bennett]

Well, it was. Even though you don't want to go to Mixed with me for a ride home. It was great doing the podcast with you again. And you did great, too. Even. Even if. I don't even know if Meg ever said my name.

[Kyle Mooney]

Mr. B. Mr. B.

[Beck Bennett]

That was kind of. Yeah, but that's not my name necessarily. It also could be my last name, Bennett. So I don't know if she knows. But that's okay. It's not really about names, knowing names. It's more about, like, getting the essence of somebody. Right.
