Speaker 1 (00:05):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Elvis Presents Show, And so we go, what's up Garrett,
great tea bro Dave Brody? So you know what happened?
(00:26):
So like literally two minutes before this even started, Nately
in here, Oh, I gotta get this. He walks out
the door saying, hello, lady. So I know it was
the boss, the Elvis, her uncle Johnny. It ain't Uncle Johnny,
so but he conveniently very important, gotta take this, got
to see you later. So then it was just the
three amiga. Yeah, three of us. That's fine. How's everybody's weekend?
(00:46):
Everything was awesome. We were talking briefly about Saturday Saturday Night,
long past weekend. You fell in love this episode. It
was seriously the best episode I have ever seen, Like
the scotches just shows on forty something, but I just thought,
this Weekend's all the episode it was. It was solid,
you know what. There was one one sketch I didn't like.
(01:09):
I don't remember which one it was because I don't know,
but I remember thinking, oh, only one sketch I didn't like.
Pretty good, whereas last week was very good. But there
were two or three sketches that were god awful. Yeah,
so I think it was a solid way to end
the end of year. And I love the way Matt
Damon started it. I liked his you know cheers to
started Night Live and the thing about his kids were crying.
(01:32):
I did not cry, but I like the way he
just he made it all come full circle. It was
really great. It's funny I Saturday Night Live started around
the time I was the age of Matt Damon's kids,
and so I remember staying up late to watch the
original cast of s n L. And that was sort
of like you got to stay up and watch it.
(01:54):
And so by the time I got to like junior
high school in high school, it was a religion for
me to watch it every night and then coming on
Monday morning and quote all the scenes and all the
jingles and all the spoof commercials. And so it's been
a part of my life as long as it's been
around pretty much. And I love it. You know, people go,
did you watch it? I always watch it when when
my parents would have company over the house, right, so
(02:16):
they did have friends over, they'd be sitting in the
dining room, you know, having some dinner and drinks or whatever,
and it was getting late, and they would be laughing,
hooping it up, and oh, you know, they're in a
good time. I would sneak into the television room and
I would shut the lights so as if nobody was
in that part of the house, and I would sit
there by myself with the TV on because I know
I was supposed to be up that late, and I'd
be watching it. I remember watching Eddie Murphy when he
(02:38):
did Gumby Right. The thing about SNL is that there
have been some casts over the uh forty three years.
Some of the casts they went through were not good.
There was periods of time where that people were not good, well,
the writers were not good. But overall the show has
always been the voice of a generation, comedically, citically whatever,
(03:00):
whether you agree politically or not, it serves a role
in entertainment. What bothers me is when people don't like
the angle it takes or they disagree with the politics
of it, and they go, oh, it was funny. Yeah,
you gotta get past the politics of it because that's
the first five minutes and just enjoy the stupidity the
rest of the ship. But it goes back to people going,
it's not funny you you sit down for one week
(03:22):
and try to come up with ninety minutes worth of
it hasn't been forty in years. Usually usually I'm not
I'm not saying everyone, but usually people say years. Either
it means it hasn't been funny since they was seventeen
or eighteen when they thought everything was funny, or again
they don't like the politics of it. But the interesting
thing about the politics of it is the politics have
(03:44):
always been the same since nineteen seventy five. They have
made fun of whoever the president is they have and
and whoever whatever the big celebrities are, they make fun
of it. But if you're if your team Jimmy Carter,
then in nineteen seventy six, you're not happy they're making
fund Jimmy Carter. At in nineteen eight you if they
make it fun of President Reagan, you're unhappy to make
it fun of President Reagan. But it's what they do.
They make fun of everybody. Now do they make fun
(04:06):
of some people more than others. Sure, some people are
maybe more apt to be made fun of, or they
put themselves out there more and they give them more material. Well,
but that doesn't mean the rest of the show you
can't enjoy it, although I will say after weekend update
it's usually hit or miss. Like the last three sketches,
they seem to me like they threw some writer or
a bone, or they really wanted to get so and
(04:28):
so sketch on they owed mus sketch. Well, they know
it's already been a long time. It's been on for
over about an hour at this point already, so they figured,
you know, we'll just try out the sketches. Just seems
to me. You back me up on this. They have
like twenty writers, right, and I'm a comment writer, so
I get that sometimes you don't have the best stuff.
But they know the stuff at the end is not
their best stuff, which is why they put it at
the end. That's right. But if you have twenty writers
(04:49):
and every week you're supposed to put in let's say
nine sketches, and every week you come up with seven
really good ones, and you know that two are week,
hire three more writers read anymore, I just don't get
to see that they cut for time that that probably
are better, but because of timing they have to fit
the the the C minus versus D B plus. Also,
(05:10):
sometimes they do something dress rehearsal that never make the
and sometimes they're good, sometimes they're terrible. But like, for instance,
if you watched SNL last week, there was a sketch
with uh, I don't remember who the host was, it
doesn't really matter. Uh and they Jason Momoa and they
put Jason Momoa in a sled in a sleigh ride
right with Leslie Jones and uh yeah, and the four
(05:33):
of them were in a sled for the three cast
members and Jason Momoa. The scene was freaking moronic. Keenan
Thompson was in it, and I think, uh yeah, Beck Bennett,
it was moronic. There was nothing funny, there was no
punch line. It didn't know how to end. And you go,
if I'm Jason Momoa, a guy his I'm punching somebody
for giving me that sketch. And I mean, the biggest
(05:56):
sketch comedy show in the history television. Who wrote that?
Who said that's a good sketch? We should have that on.
I think all the guests that host, I think they
come off of it saying it was a great time,
they enjoyed it. I'd rather they show a repeat of
a of a product, like a fake commercial, like that
was great. Earlier in the year, rerun a spoof commercial
(06:16):
then rather put that slig Rot was the spoof commercial
Matt Damon over the cat and the cat pooping in
the thing. It made glitter poop. And then you can
hang it around your your your necklace, or you can
put on your earrings. Oh that was great that you
didn't see that one. Yeah, pop, I thought, I thought
the comedy is to each their own at the end
of the tub. But even look at our show, not
(06:38):
the last hour of our show. Hey, don't bad about
the last off our show. But but it's true. Well
it's there. It's the phone tap replay. Right, there's less,
I get it, there's less. Right, you can only do
so much and you're not gonna put your good stuff
on when not everybody knows what I'm saying. Is the
stuff at the end of set it in that live
the last two sketches. Yeah, sometimes you see it coming,
you go, oh, this one's gonna suck, right, and watch
(07:02):
this If the musical guests second song is the last
thing of the night, they suck, all right, Probably, I agree,
I agree. I don't know anyone that really has sat
through Maybe you brodie the entire episode. I watched every week,
the entire episode. If I don't finish it, I'll watch
it the next day. I d v RD every week,
but I watched the whole thing. Now, if I see
a sketch is just awful, I'll zip through it at
(07:24):
some point, you know, it's terrible. And at half the
time I don't like the musical acts. Well, I don't
like the second song, so I zipped through it. So
I watched the show for the first time. I haven't
seen it. Did you have you seen Crazy Rich Asians yet? No? Oh,
you didn't see the movie. It's it's it's really good. Yeah,
finally a movie that you have seen that that someone
else hasn't seen, because normally it's the other way around.
(07:44):
It took me a Trish a long time to finally
get some time to ourselves. Were you canna watch movie?
So we sat down and we streamed it, and I
did stream it legally. Yeah, of course, And so I'll
tell you. So, I'll tell you. She liked it a
lot more than I did. I thought it was very
good and um, I like I appreciated that there wasn't
any like you know, risk a or dirty scenes that
(08:06):
I had to like, you know, uh that that were
that made anybody feel uncomfortable. Um, there were some jokes
I didn't get. It's a wholesome movie. Yeah, but for
the most part, I really enjoyed it. But Trish absolutely
love that you watching you watch crazy Rich Asians at home?
So you ordered in? Yeah, we ordered in. That's pretty funny.
That's a good joke. You seen it, I just walked in.
(08:27):
I saw it about a month ago. I just caught
it this weekend socrape. What what did you think it
was good? I didn't. I didn't think it was like
unbelievably terrific. Trish like love that love that, like can't
wait to watch two already. I liked it. Yeah, I
thought in today's day and age, what girl doesn't do
(08:49):
some research on the guy? She's true, true, Like that's
the whole thing, Like the whole point was she's blindside
with the fact that he's one of the Yeah. I
just don't get how that it doesn't happen. How do
you create a profile like a fake profile, f fake life. No, No,
it was just she just didn't know for over a
year and a half already, And that's what I don't get, like,
(09:11):
how do you not know anything about this guy's I
haven't seen the movie. But here's what I'll tell you. Well,
that's just when you're dating a guy who's a billionaire, right, Yeah,
he's gonna act differently than if you were dating any
of the four of us, Like he's gonna want different things,
different restaurants. But that the whole point is that he's
a normal kind of guy. Still, you still don't live
with the fear of not being able to pay your bills.
You still don't live with the fear of I can't
(09:32):
afford that thing, because I can't afford it. But but
in the movie he does that. He casts not believable.
And that's what I'm thinking too, is that she is.
Somebody wouldn't know because like when they're in that restaurant
and the other girls sitting at the other Okay, how
come that didn't happen. Here's the thing. Think eighteen months prior,
r Tomato gave it more than The Godfather, Titanic and
(09:57):
other classic movies. It did get. There's no it's I
don't think so well other classic movies. It came higher
than Top Gun. Okay in that case, but you know what,
tomatoes wasn't around back then. So they go back and
say it got a higher rating than Top Gun. Listen,
(10:17):
I know people that loved it, and I know people
like great to you go, I don't get it. It
was all right, it was fine, Well it was good.
It just wasn't it was good. They didn't live up
to the hype because everybody came in and said, oh
my god, crazy. And I think a lot of people
built the hype based on the book because my girlfriend,
for instance, read the book and that she's reading the sequel.
She said, they're great, fantastic, amazing books. So I think
(10:39):
they have this built up in their head about how
great it is, and they did a I guess fairly faithful.
You know, I just I did go into it. I
said the trish, I go, oh, we got a war
everybody saying it's great. That's what I said. I said,
I did. But she really did love it. She like,
but how did you oversell it? Well? There was one
if he didn't see it, what do you mean? Because
(11:00):
I heard it was so crazy. I heard it was
amazing too. That's the whole reason I wanted secular. The
one scene and again not blowing, not running for you
at all, brody Um. The one scene where it was
like the mother daughter scene, like, I don't know, I
just kind of like fell asleep a little bit. She
nudged me, it's just you're snoring, and I don't know,
(11:22):
I'm not and she goes, you're sleeping and I said, patricial, like,
I can't buy into this. I love how you do
this all the time, where you do fall asleep and
we tell you you're snoring, but yet you say I
wasn't snoring. I did you feel myself snoring? Is there
another movie in the past year or so, because I
have one where everyone said it was great at one
Awards and it was a piece of trash. I know
(11:43):
what you're gonna say. I like that movie was. If
you saw Splash, it's a terrible movie. It was. And
you want to talk about plot holes, You said, oh
that with crazy rich Asians. How come she didn't know
there's so many plot holes in shape Awak. It's leg
at my different you have. You can't compare crazy, can't
(12:03):
compare crazy rich fish guy, and you can't compare it
to Splash. And everybody's doing it's scene for scene, but
I'll tell you right now, you can't compare a movie
about our Chinese billionaire versus a science fiction creature living
in a government. Now you tell me Shape of Water
is more like Aquaman. Now you have me. Okay, you
(12:24):
can listen. You can suspend this belief. You go to
a science fiction movie. If you're watching Star Wars, okay,
and all of a sudden, Luke Skywalker starts making egg
salad and then he takes out a bag from Wendy's.
You're gonna go that doesn't make any sense. You can't go.
But it's a sci fi film. Doesn't make sense. No,
it has to make sense when in the context of
the world you created. Shape of Water has so many things.
You go, that doesn't make sense. Okay, Well, I'll give
(12:45):
you the whole part in Shape of Water where well
know where she fills the bathroom filled with water. It
doesn't overflow on bathroom. He filled his bathroom last week.
Ok you got me there, the bathroom scene. That's the
one thing I will say that was a little bit
(13:05):
so not spoiling the movie. But the woman. The woman
is the star of the movie. Who's mute. She's the
cleaning lady at the most top secret government agency building
on the planet. Right, they have the most top secret
alien fish man in a sealed, locked room. She can
(13:27):
walk in and have lunch with him every day. She's
nobody notices, puts him in a lunch bank and what
rolls him out? Nobody else. She can't help. She had
some people help people throwing a laundry bank, right, had
to get him out of stop it. That stuff doesn't
make sense, none of it. It's and by the way,
did I mention it's scene for scene splash? It's unfunny
(13:49):
splash It is not but thought, it's not a great movie.
But don't you get the end of it? We're like, no, no,
don't lein the ending. No, I'm not. I'm not. By
the way, five bucks says, you didn't get the ending.
I totally did. But don't you understand. Hold on, turn
the mikes off for a second. What do you mean
one second? One second? Hold on? We got a minute left,
minute left? You totally didn't get the ending? Yes, I
(14:14):
did the ending. Did he didn't get the ending? I
don't know if you got the ending. He totally got
the ending. No, I didn't. Well, I did get a
little Okay, just tell me, tell me, Yes, did the
ending explain to you why she was attracted to him? Yes,
of course, I totally got everything. Hold on, turn the
mikes off real quick. We got thirty seconds. You totally
(14:38):
didn't get the ending. I did get the whole movie.
They shouldn't have reacted the way they reacted at the end.
And the thing was is that, you know what, now
we're running in a time already. It's like the oscars'ing.
If you got the teat friend was very good. It
was very good. Okay, crazy rich Agents. The fifteen minute
(15:01):
Morning Show
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Elvis Presents Show, And so we go, what's up Garrett,
great tea bro Dave Brody? So you know what happened?
(00:26):
So like literally two minutes before this even started, Nately
in here, Oh, I gotta get this. He walks out
the door saying, hello, lady. So I know it was
the boss, the Elvis, her uncle Johnny. It ain't Uncle Johnny,
so but he conveniently very important, gotta take this, got
to see you later. So then it was just the
three amiga. Yeah, three of us. That's fine. How's everybody's weekend?
(00:46):
Everything was awesome. We were talking briefly about Saturday Saturday Night,
long past weekend. You fell in love this episode. It
was seriously the best episode I have ever seen, Like
the scotches just shows on forty something, but I just thought,
this Weekend's all the episode it was. It was solid,
you know what. There was one one sketch I didn't like.
(01:09):
I don't remember which one it was because I don't know,
but I remember thinking, oh, only one sketch I didn't like.
Pretty good, whereas last week was very good. But there
were two or three sketches that were god awful. Yeah,
so I think it was a solid way to end
the end of year. And I love the way Matt
Damon started it. I liked his you know cheers to
started Night Live and the thing about his kids were crying.
(01:32):
I did not cry, but I like the way he
just he made it all come full circle. It was
really great. It's funny I Saturday Night Live started around

(06:38):
the last hour of our show. Hey, don't bad about
the last off our show. But but it's true. Well
it's there. It's the phone tap replay. Right, there's less,
I get it, there's less. Right, you can only do
so much and you're not gonna put your good stuff
on when not everybody knows what I'm saying. Is the
stuff at the end of set it in that live
the last two sketches. Yeah, sometimes you see it coming,
you go, oh, this one's gonna suck, right, and watch
(07:02):
this If the musical guests second song is the last
thing of the night, they suck, all right, Probably, I agree,
I agree. I don't know anyone that really has sat
through Maybe you brodie the entire episode. I watched every week,
the entire episode. If I don't finish it, I'll watch
it the next day. I d v RD every week,
but I watched the whole thing. Now, if I see
a sketch is just awful, I'll zip through it at
(07:24):
some point, you know, it's terrible. And at half the
time I don't like the musical acts. Well, I don't
like the second song, so I zipped through it. So
I watched the show for the first time. I haven't
seen it. Did you have you seen Crazy Rich Asians yet? No? Oh,
you didn't see the movie. It's it's it's really good. Yeah,
finally a movie that you have seen that that someone
else hasn't seen, because normally it's the other way around.
(07:44):
It took me a Trish a long time to finally
get some time to ourselves. Were you canna watch movie?
So we sat down and we streamed it, and I
did stream it legally. Yeah, of course, And so I'll
tell you. So, I'll tell you. She liked it a
lot more than I did. I thought it was very
good and um, I like I appreciated that there wasn't
any like you know, risk a or dirty scenes that
(08:06):
I had to like, you know, uh that that were
that made anybody feel uncomfortable. Um, there were some jokes
I didn't get. It's a wholesome movie. Yeah, but for
the most part, I really enjoyed it. But Trish absolutely
love that you watching you watch crazy Rich Asians at home?
So you ordered in? Yeah, we ordered in. That's pretty funny.
That's a good joke. You seen it, I just walked in.
(08:27):
I saw it about a month ago. I just caught
it this weekend socrape. What what did you think it
was good? I didn't. I didn't think it was like
unbelievably terrific. Trish like love that love that, like can't
wait to watch two already. I liked it. Yeah, I
thought in today's day and age, what girl doesn't do
(08:49):
some research on the guy? She's true, true, Like that's
the whole thing, Like the whole point was she's blindside
with the fact that he's one of the Yeah. I
just don't get how that it doesn't happen. How do
you create a profile like a fake profile, f fake life. No, No,
it was just she just didn't know for over a
year and a half already, And that's what I don't get, like,
(09:11):
how do you not know anything about this guy's I
haven't seen the movie. But here's what I'll tell you. Well,
that's just when you're dating a guy who's a billionaire, right, Yeah,
he's gonna act differently than if you were dating any
of the four of us, Like he's gonna want different things,
different restaurants. But that the whole point is that he's
a normal kind of guy. Still, you still don't live
with the fear of not being able to pay your bills.
You still don't live with the fear of I can't
(09:32):
afford that thing, because I can't afford it. But but
in the movie he does that. He casts not believable.
And that's what I'm thinking too, is that she is.
Somebody wouldn't know because like when they're in that restaurant
and the other girls sitting at the other Okay, how
come that didn't happen. Here's the thing. Think eighteen months prior,
r Tomato gave it more than The Godfather, Titanic and
(09:57):
other classic movies. It did get. There's no it's I
don't think so well other classic movies. It came higher
than Top Gun. Okay in that case, but you know what,
tomatoes wasn't around back then. So they go back and
say it got a higher rating than Top Gun. Listen,
(10:17):
I know people that loved it, and I know people
like great to you go, I don't get it. It
was all right, it was fine, Well it was good.
It just wasn't it was good. They didn't live up
to the hype because everybody came in and said, oh
my god, crazy. And I think a lot of people
built the hype based on the book because my girlfriend,
for instance, read the book and that she's reading the sequel.
She said, they're great, fantastic, amazing books. So I think
(10:39):
they have this built up in their head about how
great it is, and they did a I guess fairly faithful.
You know, I just I did go into it. I
said the trish, I go, oh, we got a war
everybody saying it's great. That's what I said. I said,
I did. But she really did love it. She like,
but how did you oversell it? Well? There was one
if he didn't see it, what do you mean? Because
(11:00):
I heard it was so crazy. I heard it was
amazing too. That's the whole reason I wanted secular. The
one scene and again not blowing, not running for you
at all, brody Um. The one scene where it was
like the mother daughter scene, like, I don't know, I
just kind of like fell asleep a little bit. She
nudged me, it's just you're snoring, and I don't know,
(11:22):
I'm not and she goes, you're sleeping and I said, patricial, like,
I can't buy into this. I love how you do
this all the time, where you do fall asleep and
we tell you you're snoring, but yet you say I
wasn't snoring. I did you feel myself snoring? Is there
another movie in the past year or so, because I
have one where everyone said it was great at one
Awards and it was a piece of trash. I know
(11:43):
what you're gonna say. I like that movie was. If
you saw Splash, it's a terrible movie. It was. And
you want to talk about plot holes, You said, oh
that with crazy rich Asians. How come she didn't know
there's so many plot holes in shape Awak. It's leg
at my different you have. You can't compare crazy, can't
(12:03):
compare crazy rich fish guy, and you can't compare it
to Splash. And everybody's doing it's scene for scene, but
I'll tell you right now, you can't compare a movie
about our Chinese billionaire versus a science fiction creature living
in a government. Now you tell me Shape of Water
is more like Aquaman. Now you have me. Okay, you
(12:24):
can listen. You can suspend this belief. You go to
a science fiction movie. If you're watching Star Wars, okay,
and all of a sudden, Luke Skywalker starts making egg
salad and then he takes out a bag from Wendy's.
You're gonna go that doesn't make any sense. You can't go.
But it's a sci fi film. Doesn't make sense. No,
it has to make sense when in the context of
the world you created. Shape of Water has so many things.
You go, that doesn't make sense. Okay, Well, I'll give
(12:45):
you the whole part in Shape of Water where well
know where she fills the bathroom filled with water. It
doesn't overflow on bathroom. He filled his bathroom last week.
Ok you got me there, the bathroom scene. That's the
one thing I will say that was a little bit
(13:05):
so not spoiling the movie. But the woman. The woman
is the star of the movie. Who's mute. She's the
cleaning lady at the most top secret government agency building
on the planet. Right, they have the most top secret
alien fish man in a sealed, locked room. She can
(13:27):
walk in and have lunch with him every day. She's
nobody notices, puts him in a lunch bank and what
rolls him out? Nobody else. She can't help. She had
some people help people throwing a laundry bank, right, had
to get him out of stop it. That stuff doesn't
make sense, none of it. It's and by the way,
did I mention it's scene for scene splash? It's unfunny
(13:49):
splash It is not but thought, it's not a great movie.
But don't you get the end of it? We're like, no, no,
don't lein the ending. No, I'm not. I'm not. By
the way, five bucks says, you didn't get the ending.
I totally did. But don't you understand. Hold on, turn
the mikes off for a second. What do you mean
one second? One second? Hold on? We got a minute left,
minute left? You totally didn't get the ending? Yes, I
(14:14):
did the ending. Did he didn't get the ending? I
don't know if you got the ending. He totally got
the ending. No, I didn't. Well, I did get a
little Okay, just tell me, tell me, Yes, did the
ending explain to you why she was attracted to him? Yes,
of course, I totally got everything. Hold on, turn the
mikes off real quick. We got thirty seconds. You totally
(14:38):
didn't get the ending. I did get the whole movie.
They shouldn't have reacted the way they reacted at the end.
And the thing was is that, you know what, now
we're running in a time already. It's like the oscars'ing.
If you got the teat friend was very good. It
was very good. Okay, crazy rich Agents. The fifteen minute
