Speaker 2 (00:11):
Shovel shut right, So Saturday Not Live, season fifty. The
Christmas episode was on the twenty first, so we are
talking about something that happened nine days ago. But we're
just kind of getting back in the groove of things here.
So what they do pretty much every season finale and
then Christmas Show, So twice a year, Michael Chay and
(00:34):
Colin Jost do something called a joke swap where basically
they write jokes for each other that they have to
read trying to just humiliate them.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And they're usually you know, sexually and racially insensitive.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Absolutely, and that's the beauty of the one's a white guy,
one's a black guy. You don't know who these people are,
and they don't know until they read the joke.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
They don't have not prepared, that's just thrust upon them
and they have to deliver it.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
So you know, I was like, Okay, we'll see what happens.
Are they going to do it again? And they usually
top themselves somehow, And they've really taken this thing on
the show and made it its own thing. Yeah, that's
you know people talk about. So looking forward to the
Christmas episode and they opened the show with Tom Hanks
sitting in a five Timers Club rope?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Did you watch the whole episode or see that? I saw, Yeah,
I saw the whole episode. I don't know if I
saw the final ten or fifteen minutes, but I saw
the first at least two thirds.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Of this show. You've got Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Martin Short was your host boy in his fifth time,
and that's why they were doing it's the five Timers Club.
He's got Tom Hanks, and Kristin Wiggs shows up, and
John mulaney shows up, and Melissa McCarthy is there, and
Paul Rudd is there.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I have all these.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Scarlett Johansson's there. She's important to this. She's very important
to this.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And if the listener doesn't know, she's married to Colin
Joe's yest who is known as the host of pop
Culture Jeopardy, not known as that. No, he's not knows
that yet, Yeah, but he will be. Okay, So joke
swap time. Now here's what I know about what happens.
I'll use Central time because it's where we are. So
ten thirty to midnight is Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The dress rehearsal that they do for a different audience
than who sees the live show at ten thirty that
airs on TV. They do a dress rehearsal at eight
o'clock and it usually goes until ten. And then in
those thirty minutes from ten to ten thirty, Lorne Michaels
is sitting there with the host and they're cutting stuff
and they're trying to figure out what's gonna work and
what's not gonna work. Is it the same audience, No,
the audience is ushered out and a new audience is
(02:25):
ushered in.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Wow, that's cool. I never knew all that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So people who are in the first you know, in
the dress rehearsal, though, they get to see what got cut,
what didn't make it, and it's usually a bunch of
SNL nerds or just people hanging around New York. Okay,
so what we know is that what you're about to
hear in the joke swap, none of these jokes were
in the dress rehearsal. There's a part that does involve
(02:49):
Scarlett Johansson was not in any of this. So all
of this is fresh and lack an actual prank. It really,
I mean, it is a prank, right right, So we
will say start with Colin just having to read a joke.
And I've edited these all down as much as I could.
So here's the first joke.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Michael is gonna make me tell some racist jokes like
like he always does, so this time, if you don't mind,
I'd like to read all the jokes in black voice,
so I don't get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I mean, Colin, I don't mind. Do what you gotta do. Man,
I don't even know what black voice is.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Y'all know my girl Klina Harris tell the town Hall
talking about she still supports the idea of slavery reparations. Well,
damn girl, me too, because white people deserve our money
back for all those slaves.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That ran away. Gosh, sh is.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I ain't Fredy mofos.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Wow, I had no idea. That's what just what black
voice was. Okay, So I'll show a bad start for Colin.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I had a good start for Michael if he gos
to dunk on the other guy, I want to say too.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Summer of so the season finale of last season in.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
The summer, I kind of thought Colin won after a
three or four game losing streak. I think Colin won
because Colin basically had a big joke about Michael ja
taking on Kendrick Lamar forget about Drake, your next beefs
with me, and she's like, what do do that? Okay,
here's Michael jase ship.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
A new study finds that women are more likely to
have an orgasm if they are in touch with their
body signals such as heart rate and breathing, as opposed
to the women I have sex with who just hold
their breath.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Again pretty great, but also feels timid. But her feels tame.
Considering that Colin the voice he had to read it in.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's just like man, So Michael, Shea's got a huge
advantage just because truly being able to play the race
card here is an amazing weapon.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Is okay? So it's a picture.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
They flashed to a picture of oh he hold on,
this is a picture. It's it's Colin Scarlet Johansson, and
they photoshopped a black baby in between them.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's the graphic.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Why I want to dedicate this next joke to my booze.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Then it cuts to her in the whole way and
she's got a robe on drinking old fashion, and she
does appear like the way it's been described to me.
You know, I'm going through what various podcast stuff is. Basically,
they grabbed her out of the who hey, come here
real quick. Okay, she's like game. She might have known
something what the bit is, but she's not. Yeah, the
(06:00):
she know she's gonna be on camera. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
He's so genuinely worried. Hey boo, y'all know, Scarlet just
celebrated her fortieth birthday, which means I'm about to get
up out.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Of there.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
A little more.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
There's more, No, no, I'm just playing. We just had
a kid together, and y'all ain't seen no pictures of
him yet because he blackens out. She is, I ain't
afraid of you, mofos.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's a great sign off. She's she's I ain't afraid
of you mofos. Yeah all right, So you know, I
think Michael Ja clearly has the lead right now.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But let's see what he's got to do here continues.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
To set records a box office because like me and
my good friend Jeffrey Epstein's used to say, there's nothing
like an island adventure with a teenage girl. I'm just kidding.
I would never ever sleep with a girl as dark.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
As my water.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And hey, before we go, I would be remiss if
I didn't address the allegations about jay Z man. No, no, no, no,
people aren't afraid to talk about it, but not the
true mom Chase.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So here it is.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Jay Z is innocy.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We even have those bodies, and I.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Know because I would.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And did he If you're listening with.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
That voice to life, when.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It comes in the charges against you, I'll say the
same thing I always said at your parties, I will help.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Hit you off. Lat thing to say at a party.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, pretty good?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yes when the jay Z and by the way, graphic
pops up when it pumped up to jay Z like
you'd see why no, you know like that rose, come on,
I would do this to me. So for some reason,
Colin had to read three though, like that's it for
Michael Chace. Here's the last joke that Chay wrote for Colin.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
No for real, though, Costco has removed the roast beef
sandwich from its menu. But I ain't tripping. I'd be
eating roast beef every night, says what you fed the kid? No, No,
I'm just playing baby. You know I don't go down.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yes, Oh my goodness, I.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Can't believe you're Colin for week nothing, I am Michael J.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's wonderful, so funny. It was so great.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You know, I've realized over times. It was started in
Colin's on interviews about this, like he wrote like really
tame ones the first time, and Michael J. Was like
going in pretty hard and he's like, okay, this is
like because it was Colin's idea, huh. And he's like, okay,
I didn't know I was doing that, did this to himself.
But like when you watch it, it's it's like edgy
(09:30):
as some of those are. Like, when you watch it,
it's just like all good fun because you can tell
it's like this is gonna sound real gay, kind of
like gun out of love. They're like, you know, actually
making each other laugh is what it's going and it
makes it them hard to get through because I'm reading
Q cards for the first time.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But you could tell how legit it is.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know, what you said is genuinely gay KT But no,
but I was thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking, though.
The idea is like I love especially race humor. I
love edgy race humor as long as the people that
are delivering it aren't hateful jerks, you know, and aren't
like legitimately bigoted.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
The things about all of us that are different are
funny as long as you're respectful of our differences. But
if you're you know, agitated about it, and you're gonna
attack our differences and then make jokes about it, it's
clear you're coming from a position of superiority, or you
think you're superior. And so it's like, that's why I
always thought Bill Burr did an amazing job with race humor.
(10:32):
It's like, it was pretty obvious. Dude, he's friends with
a lot of these dudes. He's hanging with him. That's
why he's attached to these jokes. He gets it. And
so I love race humor. I love, you know, nationality
or foreigner humor. I love sexist humor as long as
it's not coming from a place of punching down and
(10:54):
hating on another group and all that stuff. It's some
of the funniest stuff, man. I mean, dude, Chris Rock
doing race humor, or Chappelle doing race humor is incredible stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
There's also the whole element of like where culture is
and cancel culture. But for Colin to have to go
on live TV and get that thrown at him, it's great.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
That makes him one.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Of the more fearless performers I think I've ever seen.
It makes them may imagine like, okay, uh wait, I'm
on live TV, like, dude, you can't whip out like
you gotta.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Do it, and he like, he kind of you gotta
put on a show. He does.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
He does, and it also plays up his whole him
making fun of his white ivy league. Yeah you know thing.
Yeah it's funny man. I I'm with you, dude. I
love when everyone can be in. I mean, that's why
those roasts are so good. You know, when a roast
is is on point, man, it's just it's hard to beat.
But it's gotta you've you just got to know that
(11:50):
the person delivering it is not disrespectful and does not
hate the other race or hate the other gender or whatever.
Then we can actually all laugh at ourselves. That was
Chappelle's point the whole time, the entire time.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Isn't it fun to laugh?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It's so good?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Good stuff, all right?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It is the Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point
one The Eagle. We got all kinds of great stuff
coming at you and today's show coming up next, the
MAVs got some bad news. How are they going to
deal with it? We'll break it down for you right
here on the Ben and Skin Show
Juicing moves, Hot Gods ever, come stay on top in the.
