The chemistry between Don Cheadle and The other actors on screen. The history of Ali versus America and how it makes sure it keeps us, BLACK PEOPLE, in our place. We discuss how black and beautiful the cast was, which leads us to Jazz's game of Suck/Stab/Steal, her twist on the classic , F/M/K. The role Queen Debbie Allen portrayed as Terrance Howard's mother within the story. The crew discusses if the promotion of black TV shows is our obligation. Was this Kevin Harts best role, to date?

In this wild episode, the TruVue Podcast crew dives into Fight Night: Million Dollar Heist, the gritty Peacock series that throws viewers into the chaos following Muhammad Ali's 1970 comeback fight in Atlanta. We're bringing the barbershop talk to the box office as we discuss all the unexpected twists, high-stakes drama, and a heist that brings out some "Chicken Shyte" moments you won't believe. Is the hype worth it, or did they serve us a steaming pile of "Chicken Shyte"? The story follows Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams, played by Kevin Hart, as he hustles his way into a high-stakes after-party that goes sideways when masked men pull off a million-dollar heist. Suspicions fly and deals are cut as Chicken Man works with Detective J.D. Hudson, played by Don Cheadle, to uncover who double-crossed whom. With Samuel L. Jackson also in the mix, the stakes go way beyond the dollar signs. It's not about the review; it's the conversation with the crew as we cut through the plot, dissect the real story versus what they served up, and drop our NSFW thoughts on everything from crime capers to how this heist flick stacks up in the era of the 'Black Mecca.' Don't miss our take on if this one's a knockout or just a bunch of "Chicken Shyte."

Back at it with another fun episode and i start the show off with some humbleness because of the lingering rap beef and i must say the meal is tasty. SILVER SOUL - BEACH HOUSE MONEY TREES - KENDRICK LAMAR ALRIGHT ( YT VERSION) - KENDRICK LAMAR (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠00:00-09:09) On today's episode we'll start off with the colonizers are back at it again with tasing trips to my homeland in an area that is lawless. once again putting themselves in danger for views, which makes me wonder why would you go somewhere like that in your most nicest of clothes. Also i saw a meme that triggered a conversation in my head about the beauty and the beast, and how the beast was not marked as a serial killer because he technically was. Plus i saw an anti bullying campaign which definitely not tested in the correct demographic. it would have been curtains in my hood.  (09:10-40:02) I then jump into The Cool Report where i discuss THE RAP BEEF between the boy and not the boy. which has been going insane in hip-hop. The boy mentioned candy man and he appeared to wreak havoc. Also another awesome case of beef is Gilbert Arenas with the classic battle of get the ring back after a failed marriage proposal. That mistake almost cost him $400k but the man hatched a plan and made it work, salute to him. Also another battle on the streets of Europe broke out where a woman almost became an SA victim but was saved by another predator on the hunt for something else. twas quite a story. (40:03-01:12:41) We then step into a new segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself. Like how good is my knowledge of comic books, and why aren't they really accurate to certain time pieces. Another ask what is the plushie in the background and why do you even have it weirdo. also what are your thoughts on the conjoin tin dating pool, are you into that kind of stuff, the answer is Duck yes. (01:12:42-01:26:38) Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. Like do you ever feel there is no one out there for you? Do you think everyone is meant to find someone in their lives to be with forever. HELL NOO but tune in for the answer. Another questioner ask about being flown out but paying your way first. This is called rostitution but who am i to say anything. (01:26:39-01:42:33) THE FIN i end the show with some words of encouragement to those that are down in the dumps. keep going losers you got it. (01:42:34-01:45:01) BONUS i had to extend the show because these guys just kept the rap beef going. i break down all disses as best as i can and explain my choice on who i have sided on this beef.  please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.

Transcript: Track 2[0:41] Thank you so much, Doug Donets. It is great to be here inside the SNL Hall of Fame with you all.Now, careful listeners of the show pointed out to me that I didn't remind youto wipe your feet last week. It's not lost to me.I truly thought I had solidified my stance on this matter to the extent thatit would become the norm.But alas, if you are paying for the pay-per-view feed right right now,you can see that I'm holding a mop.Jeepers, creepers, peoples, wipe your damn feet.The SNL Hall of Fame podcast is a weekly affair where each episode we take adeep dive into the career of a former cast member, host, musical guest,or writer and add them to the ballot for your consideration.Once the nominees have been announced, we turn to you, the listener,to vote vote for the most deserving and help determine who will be enshrinedfor perpetuity in the hall.And that's how we play the game.Let's go to our friend Matthew Ardill right now, because the game that we liketo play is learning a little bit about our nominee.And that's exactly what we're going to do.Let me just put this mop down and okay.Oh gosh, I'm parched. There's something going on with my voice.Track

4[9:06] Rebecca North is joining me to chat about Maya Rudolph. Rebecca, how are you doing today?I'm good, Thomas. I'm happy to be here. This is my first time,so I'm excited to voice my opinions about someone who I'm shocked.It's been five seasons now and still has not made it to the Hall of Fame,and that was groundbreaking to me.So I'm here to vouch for Maya and kind of talk through her career and history on SNL.So I can't wait. Yeah, we'll dig in to see why she might not be.We'll definitely try to make another case for her Hall of Fame candidacy forsure. And you're a great person to come on and talk with me about this.You and I were teammates a long time ago, two years ago on the Saturday Night Network's trivia.We did a little trivia together. So I don't know that we won.We were going up against Bill Kenney and stuff and he dominated us.But that's how we first came in contact.And you've been doing stuff over at the Saturday Night Network off and on.What have you been up to over at the S&N recently?Track 4[10:14] Yeah, I was actually thinking about that. That was my first episode on SNN asa guest for trivia. And we did get annihilated.But it was fun. I feel like very insightful. Like I learned a lot through that.When I was signed up, I was like, Oh, it's gonna be a piece of cake.And then no, we were up against people who have been watching for live for amillion years and rewatch it and do all that.So that was fun. But yeah, I'm over at the SNN Saturday Night Network.And I'm going on a lot of those roundtables recapping the episode.And just really enjoying this season leading up to season 50 of SNL,which is going to be a huge one.So loving kind of the gap bridging between, like, millennials and Gen Z.Track 4[10:57] Specifically on the show and the writing staff.So this has been, like, an exciting kind of transitional season for that atleast I'm viewing, where some of the guests are people that most of the viewershave never heard of, but they're really exciting to me.So I'm excited to get really just into SNL this season.Yeah, it's been a really interesting season. I like hearing you on the hot takeshows and the roundtables because I think you and I often share similar sensibilitiesand similar opinions with the show.And I think your opinions are, they're mostly positive, they're fair,but you're not like, you're not just going to say everything's great.That's what I like. You have a discerning eye for this. So I think your voiceon the S&N and the roundtables and such, I think is a really nice perspective,Rebecca. So I'm glad you're sharing that perspective with us today.Yeah, thank you, Thomas. Ialso know we both have a shared love for pop culture and all things there.So it's going to be exciting to talk about someone who was on the show and isreally just pivotal in pop culture, I think.Like, as far as some of those, not earlier, but, like, middle of SNL cast membersgo, I think Maya is definitely someone we've seen, is very well known just in the world.And people that have never even watched SNL know Maya Rudolph.It's just a name, which is why I'm so shocked that season five,she's still not in the Hall of Fame. I know. She pops up everywhere, too.Like, so many shows that I watch, like, is it the –.Track 4[12:25] The Good Place. Yes. I didn't even expect her to pop up in The Good Place,and she played the judge.And my wife and I were like, oh my gosh, Maya Rudolph. We were so excited.She just does that. She's just omnipresent in pop culture.I was actually going to reference that when I was thinking about her beforethis. It was such a small character, but had such an impact on The Good Place.I really loved that. I'm glad you brought that one up. No, absolutely.That's what she does. Maya just pops up, and then everybody,we all get excited to see Maya on her screen.She's like an electric performer. Rebecca, I'm curious about,since you're a first-timer here on the show, you've never, you know,haven't shared, obviously, your SNL fandom with us. So tell us about, like, your SNL fandom.When did you start watching the show? Any particular cast members or casts in general? role?Track 4[13:11] So I watched the show a lot. It was very big in my household.My parents aren't super fans, but they don't miss an episode.They watch every Saturday night.No matter what they would do, they would have it on TiVo. I remember growingup and then DVR to watch it just every Saturday night.They go to sleep after the news and watch the rest the next day.And I think around high schools when I started to appreciate SNL, I actually,the other said, man, big on pop culture, but I became very just interested inpolitics and just learning a lot more about this world because I feel like Iwould have conversations with people and actually have no clue what I was talking about.And that was something that I was always, like, missing.And then I actually really got into SNL because of the politics and the stancesthere and seeing Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.I suddenly knew who Sarah Palin was and knew how to give an opinion and a stanceand know that. So that's actually what really like hooked me.I've always been a big comedy fan. Like any set come that I even do some standupnow and sketch around New York. Yeah.I dabble. I'm not super well versed, but I started when I lived in Seattle.It takes a lot to even dabble. I've done it once.I did a five minute set once and I'm like, this is tough.Track 4[14:28] Five for your furset is a lot. So I lived in Seattle during the pandemic.And I'm not from there, so I'm from New York. And the way that I actually gotto meet people was I took an improv class.And through that, I don't – not an improv girl, but I met someone that was like,I feel like you do good stand-up. You want to come with me one night?And that's actually how I made a lot of my social life and friends there isjust going to open mics, doing open mics, working on things with people,So that's how I got into that.And then when I moved back to New York, the way that I met some other peoplehere was taking a sketch class at People's Improv Theater.Track 4[15:06] And through that, going to a lot of shows and open mics and just making connections with people.So comedy has always just been at the root of things in my life.But then really when I started like understanding it and really appreciatingthe show that it was like a universal experience, but I just never sat and watched.I think around high school time is that when my parents would record it,even if I was doing my thing, running around like at night, every Sunday,like even today, like I don't usually watch it live.I watch it every single Sunday. It's part of my routine now.I watch it like Sunday, 11 o'clock.I wake up, I'm making breakfast and I'm watching SNL and it's basically justbeen a constant in my life. And a lot of it really stemmed, weirdly enough,from getting to know and learn and understand politics in a fun way.Yeah. As fun as they can be these past few years anyway.That's really interesting. Yeah, I don't often hear people say it was politics.Even though SNL is synonymous with politics, that's a really neat way to get into the show.I love it. And so when did you first take notice of Maya Rudolph as a performer? Was it SNL?Track 4[16:12] It was SNL. So Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig are like my two favorite cast members of all time.And a lot of it was their interactions with each other.And I was able to see a lot of like myself and my friends in them and the waythat they interact and the way that they bring each other onto their projectsin real life or even watching them on a talk show or red carpet or they're presentingan award at the Emmys together.Like the way that they interacted I also feltthe same similar with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler where I was just likeme and my girlfriend just sit and do this andwe just kind of shoot the shit and talk andare funny and friends and I think that's what reallyfelt relatable to me and I think in actually some of the the sketches that Ilike think so highly of Maya and a lot of them are her and Kristen are justher being her but in like a funny way and adopting and I really I really feellike that's what drew me in to her is I could see myself being friends with her.I can't say that about everyone that's been on this show, but I'm like,you're someone that I'd get coffee with and I feel like I'd have a great time.Yeah, I can see that, definitely. It seems like she'd be easy to be friends with. For sure.Yeah, if she was my friend, she would probably say, you know what,Thomas, I'm disappointed. I've been on the ballot.This is my fifth time on the ballot now, and I'm not in the Hall of Fame yet. What's the deal?Track 4[17:34] Yeah, you have to make it up to her to get a friendship. I know. Jeez.I know. Sorry, Maya. So in season one, she had 47% of the vote.Seasons two, three, and four, actually, it's been hovering around 58%.It's been very, very steady.Track 4[17:50] So almost like knocking at the door, Rebecca, the candidates need 66.7% of thevote to get in. So to about two thirds of the vote.So she's like knocking on that door, but not quite over the hump.So why do you think, like, do you have any theories as to why Maya hasn't gotover that hump and been voted into the hall?Yeah. So something that stuck out to me as a reason why I love her,but I actually could see people not is obviously we've seen her do countlessimpressions on the show.So from Beyonce to Kamala Harris to just all of these different people,but she's still kind of maintains maya andthat and i think maybe from an impressionist pointof view you look at someone like top of mind right now ischloe feinman and you look at chloe and she's animpressionist whenever she puts a wig on she embodiesthat person and maya the similar to if sarahsherman does an impression i'm just relating it to this season is it's sarahsherman still and you still have all of her quirks and all of that maya is verythat and that's actually why I like her because I'm like yeah you're not blendingcompletely into this person I thinkthere are two types of people that do impressions on SNL people J.A.J.That just completely embodies that and you actually might not be able to tellwho is who if they're talking next to each other and people that sometimes are funnier to me is.Track 4[19:11] Someone that, like, their quirks and their characteristics come through.And it's, like, Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris.And sometimes that's even funnier to me than an actual spot on impression.Because if you're not going to do a perfect impression, at least let your comedy come through.Track 4[19:27] But that's something that I specifically like. I have dabbled in the space andI'm not an impressionist.I made a joke that the only impression I could do is, like, either a 60-year-oldchain smoker or, like, an old man just based on my voice.And my stature and i'm just likei you would see me through any impression i've done sothat is something that like shines out to me is that likei love that and respect them when someone could do that and make it funny andreally let themselves come through that like ad bryant as well as someone thatsticks out like you're laughing at them you're not laughing at the spot on impressionso i see the flip side of maybe people being like maya is always maya no matterwhat she is what what character she's playing,what impression she's doing, it's still Maya Rudolph as that person.It's not her embodying someone, which I respect, but I think that actually couldbe one of the reasons that she hasn't gotten her way onto the ballot yet.Track 4[20:20] Yeah, I think that's a pretty good theory. You do bring up a good point aboutimpressions that I wanted to circle back to, too, because we've talked about,on the SNL Hall of Fame, we've talked about impressions quite a bit and whatyour taste in impressions is and what you look for.And I think the way Maya's done it is preferable to me over somebody who's technically sound.We've had a lot of impressionists on SNL who are technically great impressionists.Some recent ones, actually, who didn't quite hit on the show.Because I think with an impression, Rebecca, you have to have a take.And it has to be funny. To me, you only get so much mileage out of just soundinglike the person and looking like the person. You actually have to have some comedic.Track 4[21:05] Value to the impression so i don'twant to bring up names because i don't you know but there's been impressionists onthe show uh in in the past whohave been who've done very sound technically great impressions but there's nocomedic take behind yeah so with maya i think we have seen we see a lot of uhfunny comedic takes does she sound 100 like beyonce it's okay like i don't knowYou can kind of tell she's trying to play Beyonce,but there's some sort of take there. Same with Donatella Versace.She does a weird one of Scott Joplin, who's like a real person.She did a couple of some of my favorite Maya's work.It wasn't quite an impression. It was kind of her take on a historical figure, like a funny take.But there's the comedic value in it. So that was a really good point,Rebecca, about impressions and Maya and how she does impressions.But I have a confession for you. Yeah.I'm one of those people who has been on the fence about voting her in.Why? Yeah. So here's my – and I'm glad you asked me in that tone because I'veasked myself in that tone. In my judgy tone?Yeah. No, I've asked myself in that judgy tone too.Track 4[22:22] But I finally pinpointed it, I think.Think so maya was on from 2000 to2007 and i think i thinkshe spent much of her time on snl in the wrong erafor her skill set i think like theearly to mid 2000s i think thatcatered to a lot of and there's a lot oflike lowbrow kind of humor there was a lotand i think she was capable of so much more i thinkshe was very clever and but she always she didn'talways get a lot of clever sketches on ithink she was way more like her skill set was alot more diverse than maybe the era catered toso i and that that's just kind ofmy taste but i think that's kind ofwhat the era was there was a lot of like and it'shard to describe from like about 2001 to like2005 it was a lot of edgelord humorit was a lot of like let's put people let'slet's dress up an athlete in a a wig and a dress let'sput our female host and get justgive her a wig and some jewelry and make her talk like ahip-hop affectation kind of characters i don't know it's just like a it wasa weird vibe and comedy just in general around that time so i don't i thinki don't know if you could see where i'm coming from with maybe her skill setshe would have been better off in a different time of snl where she could have really shined i think.Track 4[23:47] I actually really agree with that. It was also a really saturated cast.So for everyone to stand out and saturated not only by volume,but talent and big, big personalities.Like you see nowadays, even this season, it's a very saturated cast,but there are a lot of people that are really strong background characters that like they shine in that.That but I would say from her six seven years onthe show it really was a lotof huge huge personalities comedically like kind offighting for that spotlight there so the edgier or the probably more lowbrowyou could get at the time I feel like the more that you shined on the show andthat's what it needed to be then and that was kind of what we were seeing comedyat that time So I do agree with you there.And yeah, I feel like even now, just like learning about Maya and her,just, I feel like she's very cultured and like intelligent outside of comedy.And that inspires a lot of it, like her Prince tribute band.And going through that, she has a lot of niche interests and quirks that I feellike if she was on a different season, even like on current season,the writing cast was different and they would really let it shine.And kind of write things around someone that would understand.I think about Bo and Yang doing the Troye Sivan sketch.Track 4[25:08] Did it relate to everyone? No. But was it funny because it was someone doingsomething they were passionate about and understood and got?I feel like if Maya was on a more recent season, I would say probably from like2015 till now, the writers would tailor things to her and she wouldn't justhave to fit in and be the funny character in what she was doing.And you have her and Kristen Wiig as, like, a dynamic duo throughout the seasonstogether, and they are so different, and their humor is so different.And I feel like although their partnership was something that we've seen fromthe show on and through that, I feel like it was more for Kristen to shine thanit allowed for Maya to shine.And I think that is probably the reason she isn't in this Hall of Fame.But as you look back like taking a deeper eye to this and the reason why I'mso excited to talk about her is like she was just stunning.Track 4[26:02] Standard and reliable like you knew she wasgoing to say something or sing something and we were going tolaugh whether she was the star of it and whetherit was even her like area toshine comedically she always did trigger a lot from the audience so althoughi you don't want to like pit women against each other but i kind of feel likethe writers then had to pick the star and kristin definitely got that spotlightand maya was more of a supporting role when i actually feel I feel like theycould have balanced that a little different.Track 4[26:32] Yeah, that's something that you just articulated that I think I've always felt,but I never really articulated it to myself, is that dynamic with her and Kristenand maybe a little bit Amy. I think she and Amy were actually really good.Of course, they did Bronx Beat together and stuff, but I think they actuallyhad a really good partnership.I really I wish that Maya sheended in on SNL in 2007I wish she could have had a few more years because Ithink that that cast was just finding its groovearound 2007 so I would wish Mayacould have been a part of them really hitting thepeak like she could I wish she could have done more stuff with Sudeikisand Hader and even develop more ofa partnership with Kristen so I think she was in a weird eraand she was part of when the show kind offlipped and got another golden era buti wish she could have been part more of amore of that golden era than she wasif that makes sense yeah that that actually is areally good point like as they transitioned over she was one of the cast membersthat transitioned with them but didn't get to see it through fruition the waythat like she probably should have after the year she put into it like yeahand if she was able to stick around and actually like help with the transitionand do that and move that over.So that's an awesome point because I feel like the show really flips.Track 4[27:56] Each big era from like, is who dominates it?Especially I think like gender is a big thing. Like, is it being carried bylike Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader, that?That was a very male heavy, like leading a lot of the sketches.And then you go to Kate McKinnon, Cecily and 80. And that was very,very female dominating.And I kind of wished even just as a general statement throughout the years,there was better balance and you would see moredynamic duos from like thewomen and the men on the cast and i think that's actually somethingthat snl has really never quite nailed down since the early early seasons umlike really from the not ready for primetime players that i think had the bestbalance between everyone had a role but since the cast are so saturated nowit's easier to make a a more bro-y sketch or a more, like,female-oriented sketch.And that's just natural and due to the nature. But I kind of feel like that'swhat we're missing now is that sweet spot.You look at all the duos or trios or groups of people from 2000 on.Track 4[29:01] And there's never really, like, a male-female dynamic duo leading that.And I actually think, like, Maya and Fred could have done that.And we see in real life that they kind of are that dynamic duo.And we've seen that really come to terms afterthe show and all of that but I think that's like an areathat we've been missing for a while is like having someonejust really dominant that way and I think that would just make maybe every sketchmore reliable to this so I talked to John about sketches that he all-time favoritethinks is the funniest things with like Andrew Dismukes and I'm like yeah Ilaughed it wasn't like necessarily my thing or like little things things like that.And that's, I guess, reaching all the different people in the audience.Track 4[29:46] But kind of looking for that sweet spot.And I feel like she could have been a really good bridge between that.She really could have. That's such a good point. And I was thinking of Fredtoo, with Amaya and Fred, they could have had such a, they could have builton like a dynamic because Fred stayed until what, 2012, something like that.So, so they could have had a few more years together. Yeah. See great points, Rebecca.See, Maya is overdue in the Arsenal Hall of Fame andyou were overdue to appear on this podcast i'm alreadymeant to be yeah it was meant to be then but i'mhere i'm here to vouch for her and then hopefully vouch for a returnon this podcast i think you've already sealed a return 20 minutesin wow so as far asmaya's work on snl what what kind of immediately stands out to you like youwe can we can kind of just talk about it like a specific character or sketchright now well you did mention bronx beat and that is the number one When Ilook back at my 10 favorite sketches of all time,I think Bronx Beat is really just up there in that list.Initially, I'm like, okay, Maya's on this show. Who are we talking about? Bronx Beat is that.So, your book, you like to ride bikes. Yes, I traveled all over the countryand found the best trails and rated them according to difficulty and size and, uh... Uh-huh.You know how many times I had sex last year, Frankie?Track 4[31:11] 0.002. And it was my choice. This area down here, this area,it's got the Ghostbusters thing over it.No one's allowed in there. No trespassing. No trespassing. Clothes for business.You know that red circle thing with the line, the Ghostbusters thing?Yeah. It's my choice. You know what? When my husband wants to get sex... It's always funny.No matter when I watch it, no matter what mood I'm in, it is just always one that gets me laughing.And I think that was a good point you made about Amy and Maya's chemistry.Like, they have such a funny, like, chemistry in this. And their dialects, it's just a dumb sketch.But it really just always hits. Sometimes you just get those where you're like, this is amazing.And that was pure gold. So that definitely stands out to me.It's a dumb sketch, but it's not.It's not a dumb sketch because they have these mannerisms. So now you're fromNew York, you said, right? Yes.Have you met these ladies before? Yes.So I'm from Long Island. So it's a little different, but there's like,there's a similarity between Bronx and certain parts of Long Island.And I think especially like older generations, like the accents are real.Like people actually sound like that.And I think that was around, like, an era with Jersey Shore was also,like, how are these people real?But they are. And the people of Bronx Beat, those people exist.Track 4[32:34] And it's awesome to see. And it was, like, a really great depiction.And they really just took those characters to 110%. And they were relatable.Like, I was able to be like, oh, that's who that is.That's someone from New York. And it was awesome. Yeah, yeah.Yeah, that sketch was so musical, too.Like, when Amy talking and then Maya talking, like, the way they bantered backand forth, it was very musical.It was, like, just something about it. Like, you had to be an amazing performerto get those beats down. Like, it was...Track 4[33:07] I remember the Jake Gyllenhaal one, the one that they were kind of flirtingwith, with like, they kind of flirted with their guests and stuff,but just like their, the way they would bounce back and forth.She and Amy, there was just, just real like music to it.That's whenever I watch those sketches, that's all my mind goes to is just asa performer, she was just so good about hitting those exact beats is very conversational,uh, and very relatable. I'm from New Mexico.I've been to New York, but you know, I'm not like a guy, uh,But it was still like I felt like I knew those ladies.Yeah, for sure. Like they definitely exist. And I feel like some people gotit and they were like, I could relate this.But other people that have never met anyone like that still were able to relateand be like, I saw this person on TV.And it was an awesome depiction.So that's like the number one sketch that really stands out to me.Yeah, and I don't think it's a coincidence, too, that they started doing theselater in Maya's tenure there on SNL.When the cast and the show as a whole was starting to flip into another goldenera, and we saw something like Bronx Beat, which she and Amy came up with.So I don't think that's necessarily a coincidence that these started happening a little later.Track 4[34:23] One that I revisited today that was just like pure Maya just owning it was that National Anthem.Yeah was that was that like one of the next ones that that was in my i thati was deciding which one i was going to bring up next it was either that orthe one i'll get to then after but i love that i mean one of my like happy videosis watching fergie sing the national anthem.Track 4[34:45] And I could do every single quip.And that's, I think, kind of what it was Lucy based off of was Fergie for theBasketball Hall of Fame sang the national anthem and took a lot of creativeliberty in a way that did not pay off.But I'm sure it's probably one of the most watched national anthems of any sports event ever.Track 4[35:09] And Maya so perfectly encapsulated that.But also, she's a super talented singer. So I think that was part of it.But Fergie at this national anthem just like, went off and did all these adlibs and runs that were so funny.And to see SNL do that in a way that wasn't an exact copy and had Maya likefully just shine and go off on that.And like, that is quintessential Maya. Like when I'm imagining her in my head,she is just singing and doing something funny vocally and through singing.And I think that this sketch still holds up now because there's always it's always relatable.Like there was a super viral video this month of this little girl that sangthe National Anthem again so horribly, like at one of these games.And I was like watching this one again yesterday.And I was like, oh, it's like this little girl now. But you could have watchedit two years ago and related it to another just bad national anthem performance.Yeah, as long as people are singing the national anthem, they're going to besinging it poorly because it's a hard song to sing.Track 4[36:15] Exactly. And I don't know why people keep doing that. Like, just sing the song as it was written.Like, it's very rarely paid off for people to just make it their own.And we're seeing that. I think this is just a relatable sketch,whether it was 20 years ago or today. because you can always relate it to something going on.Through the night,for it's warm to me.Track 4[37:08] I feel like they told Maya, maybe on that Monday, whoever, maybe it was herthat came up with the idea, but I feel like they just kind of told Maya,like, we need you to do a national anthem and kind of butcher it.Sing well, but just, like, butcher it.And Maya's like, I got you. And she came up with that.It was just so, like, her facial expressions were perfect.I think she added in, she started singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game or something at some point.Yeah yeah that was so perfect that's likequintessential mom glad i revisited it again today because thatyou're right that is quintessential uh maya in inthat performance yeah uh what else is quintessential maya she's so fun she'sso fun the other one that i think like she shines out of a bigger cast is supershowcase spokesmodels this in my mind is just Kristen and Maya doing their thing.It's a spoof of The Price is Right and it's showing contestants what they would have won.So it's Kristen and Maya as the Vanillites walking around. I know that's.Track 4[38:15] Um walking around and being like thespokesperson and you just watch like Kristen andBill Hader just lose it and it just shows likeMaya was probably someone that was so fun to have on setand someone that you look at and you're like yes I'm in this sketch with themand she made them break just by being her and standing out so much out of likethe crowd of this sketch that it cracks me up like I'm a sucker for people thatbreak in a sketch especially when it's like actually funny Yeah,when it's not like forced.Not like an inside joke type of thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly.You're going to kick yourself when you see what Sean and Vonda have in their cart.Look at this, Debra. A lifetime supply of frozen chicken by Chicken Man.Imagine years after years after years of chicken. Right at your fingertips. Tickle, tickle.Each chicken looks as good as this one. That's a Chicken Man guarantee.If your mom likes trickle, you might like chicken.Track 4[39:20] Was her voice kind of similar to like, remember that art dealers one that she and Fred did?This almost looks like the similar, like it's almost like a similar voice, right? Yeah, exactly.Yeah, Maya was... Yeah, just, we don't know what the rules of the game are still.Right. Like, what would a right answer be?And she just did such a good job here.Yeah, she, of course, Bill is known to break. But for good reason when you'reworking with somebody like Maya, honestly.I don't know how Vanessa Bear kept it together in that sketch.She's probably new and maybe afraid of getting fired.So she didn't want a break in that sketch.Yeah, that was so good.There was one, and I don't know if you remember these or when it got a chance to go rewatch.They're hard to find. You got to know where to look. But she did one that I alluded to earlier.And it's an example to me of something very clever that Maya was able to doearly on. Like these appeared in 2002 and 2003.It was Tennis Talk with time traveling Scott Joplin.Let's start with you, 92 Andre Agassi. What's new with you? Oh,well, things are pretty great.I just won Wimbledon. I'm dating Brooke Shields.And I'm doing these pretty awesome commercials for Canon cameras.That's great. By the way, Patrick Swayze called. He wants his hair back.Track 4[40:46] How about you, present-day Andre Agassi? What's going on with you?I'm really excited. I just had a second baby with my wife.So if you haven't seen and if you don't do you remember these rebecca vaguelyokay so i'll yes i'll recap so scottjoplin is a real person he was a composer hebasically is called like the godfather of ragtimekind of music and so the premisewas that maya played scott joplinwho traveled who who wasa time traveler who became a time traveler andthrough his time traveling experienceshe figured out that he really enjoyed tennis so he createda talk show time travel and tennis talk with timetravel and Scott Joplin so he would like have thesehave these tennis players on and pretty much like be passive-aggressive andmake these quips but then like after after like burns would go back and playlike ragtime diddy and then come back and like like talk to him and be condescendingand be funny at this and it was Maya like dressed up in a suit.Track

4[44:32] So she really took these and made them her own and was like,OK, if you want me to do this, I'm still going to be Maya in this because Ican't do a spot on Maya Angelou impression.So I'm going to make it a show instead of just like an interview with Maya Angelou.So I think that's where she really got to shine in a lot of those times.At the time, I know we were saying before she was never specifically writtenfor like as much as I think she deserved to be. But in a lot of her impressions,I think, is where the writers really had fun with her.And she created characters even out of real people who I wanted to imitate aswell. You said you don't do impressions.I sure as hell don't do impressions. But with something like her Whitney Houston,I find myself almost mimicking.He and my sister-in-law, sometimes we'll get to talking about SNL,and she'll always be like, I'll always go back to Maya Rudolph's Whitney Houston.Bobby Brown, Bobby Brown.We'll just kind of sit there and say Bobby Brown to each other.Eric is a real Geico customer, not a paid celebrity. So to help him tell hisstory, we paired him with Whitney Houston.Track 4[45:46] I thought I was going to have to postpone my exams. That's when I got in mySUV, threw that sucker in reverse, and drove backwards all the way to Dionne Warwick's house.Track 4[45:59] Geico took care of everything immediately, and I passed sociology.I passed Bobby Brown the other day, and I threw an old bag of chicken McNuggetsat his head. Ain't it shocking what love can do?Ain't it shocking what love can do?Geico. Real wrecks. Cars. She has that kind of energy and creates these characters that even...Track 4[46:22] Fans like we want to like imitate and we want to like act like that becauseshe radiates like that energy on screen maya does exactly and that's why i thinkbringing her back as kamala harris was.Track 4[46:36] Such a specific choice that ithink snl took they could have had someone comeback or at they were that was actually at a time where theywere just bringing people in left and right um toplay people that weren't specifically in the cast and theychose Maya and she did such a uniquetake on Kamala that I think was more successfulthan someone that was like uncanny like I meanyou look at Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton with Amyand Tina and although they were really funny they were really spot-on impressionswhere they've had the characters in the room together but But Maya took Kamalaand made it why people like to laugh with her and at her and go through allof those phases where I thought it was like a genius pick,but it was actually interesting because they were bringing back a lot of people while Alec Baldwin,I don't think, was the funniest Donald Trump. He was super, super spot on.But they made such a specific choice by having Maya come back and be Kamalawith not a spot on impression, but added a lot of light.Maybe she wasn't as like serious as having like Biden or Trump and someone thatlike we actually want to convey like This is our political take and the stance in this sketch,but just having Kamala's like, oh, you know You're gonna say one or two linesin this that'll make me laugh,Harris you see this is what they do.Track 4[47:58] Susan they avoid taking any,Responsibility not mr. Vice President. I'm speaking.Track 4[48:11] Well, I'm just trying to. But I'm speaking. Yes, but I. Yeah, but I'm speaking.See, I'm speaking right now. Estoya, Blondo, Nevada, Arizona,some parts of Texas. I'm speaking. I understand that.I understand. Yeah, I don't think you do. I do. Because you're talking and I'm speaking.Track 4[48:29] I love that choice to bring her back. And I think having a previous cast membercome back for a recurring, like, hold open bit And then pop up in a lot of thesketches that we've seen throughout those seasons where she was back.That's that's enough to put her in the Hall of Fame for me. Yeah.Yeah. That's so. So you do look at times that they appeared outside of theirtime, like as an official cast member.Like you do take that into account when you're looking at cast members.For sure. And also impact after the show, I think is it that's what I do,because it's not like the SNL Hall of Fame in my mind is, oh,you were on SNL and you came from this and it was all encompassing.Like, what did you do on the show? What did you do with your platform after the show?And a lot of people don't utilize that platform after the show, as well as others.And I think Maya is someone that really took that by storm and completely isjust now kind of killing it and consistently killing it since her time on SNL,back on the show as host, as recurring characters and that.And I take that all into consideration. But just besides her specific yearson the show, it's like you have one of the biggest comedy platforms in the whole world.Track 4[49:44] Are you going to actually make use of what you had on here?And I say without doubt she definitely didand I mean just to bring up the I meanthe number one thing everyone's probably thinking of of her time outside theshow is bridesmaids like she made alegendary movie like that isone that goes down in the books when you look backat history you're like oh that is just an all-timefunny movie it's the same way great yeah yeahWill Ferrell had all of these movies as wellafter obviously maya doesn't have as muchi'd say on her repertoire there but you lookback and that's one of the all-time great comedic moviesof all time that i'm like you were on this you brought your friends into thiscast you brought kristin into this and like it all worked so well together thatit i related to snl because it's a maya and kristin movie that was so funnyand so amazing that i'm like how could she not be in the hall Hall of Fame.The amount of times I watch Bridesmaids a year, just when I'm sitting with peopleand we're like, what movie should we put on? Bridesmaids. It's a classic.Track 4[50:49] Yeah. No, that's a perfect one to put on when you have nothing else to go to.No, it's an all-time great comedy.And I'm starting to warm up to the idea more of thinking about cast membersand their impact even outside of their technical, when they were a cast member on the show.I think you bring up good points. And I think that's perfectly valid tolook at cast members that way and kamala harris is agreat example and with maya you almost have to like take intocameos into account because she's been backon the show so much and she played kamalalike there was and we were talking about impressions like she found a an anglefor her kamala harris they even told us what that angle was like the cool auntright like she played kamala harris said i'm the cool aunt or whatever and i'mgonna play it like that so she was like like the fun aunt who might've like rapped a little bit,but then they still made fun of her for saying like, that little girl was me,like this kind of poking fun at, at Kamala at the same time.So she did find an angle. She has had an impact on the show.Track 4[51:55] 2024 now and i and and noneof us would be shocked if we saw maya rudolphuh come on the show in some capacity i know punky johnson they had her playkamala she didn't she didn't get any speaking roles um when she played kamalabut i don't know if they're what their plans are with that but we won't be surprisedif maya's like comes back to the show at any point and has yeah,you're right uh yeah as we're recording this yeah yeah as we're recording thisKristen scheduled to host, I think, on April 6th.Yes. Something like that. Interesting.And I would not be shocked at all if she made an appearance there.I actually have a question for you, Thomas. Okay. So I know how to angle to all the listeners here.Has anyone had 100% poll numbers in the Hall of Fame? Or who was around the highest?So I kind of understand their impact versus maybe why Maya wasn't in there.I kind of think somebody like Will Ferrell or like Eddie Murphy,I seem to remember, or Bill Hader.I think people like that have been in the 90s. Nobody's gotten 100%.And it doesn't matter in any sort of Hall of Fame, any sort of vote.You could be the best basketball, best football player, best baseball playerof all time, and those guys don't get 100%. Nobody's got 100% of the vote inthe SNL Hall of Fame, yeah.Track 4[53:21] Okay, yeah, that's interesting, man. And I guess those, I think those peopleprobably have had more impact on the actual show.But then I look at Will and yes, he had amazing sketches.When you look back at, let's list everyone's favorite sketches of all time,you're going to have more cowbells and you're going to have a lot of Will appearances.But I actually feel like his impact was made more after the show and a lot of the work he's done.So I'm seeing him a little more similar to Maya than like Bill Hader,who absolutely like obviously has impact offof the show but like snl was his playground hejust completely ran that to the ground thesame way that like kate mckinnon has and all ofthat like when you're watching them off the show you're always going to relatethem back to being on the show but now you're actually going to look at willferrell and you're going to be like oh that's buddy the elf like that's probablywhere your mind goes actually more than oh you're on snl it's someone that'sjust so engraved in the culture that you're like, oh, I forget you were like,you don't forget, but oh, you were on SNL instead of Bill Hader.It's like, oh, SNL's Bill Hader is going to be in this or SNL's Kate McKinnon.And I think Maya's impacted.Track 4[54:32] Probably more off the show which is why she's beenteetering around that 50 percent range for alittle bit now but i think people should take that intoconsideration because you're not supposed to bea keenan and be honest enough for a million years not everyone could be thatconsidering there's only been one person there's only been one keenan on theshow and you want to take this life-changing opportunity and make an impactin comedy and in pop culture and in the world And I feel like Maya has had such success in that so far.So take that into consideration when you vote, listeners.Yeah, no, that's such a good point. I want to use my wife as a case study for what you just said.She likes SNL. She's not as much of a fan as me. She probably only watches andstarted watching because of me.Track 4[55:21] But she likes it and she'll watch. But she knows Will Ferrell more for likeElf and things outside of SNL.She knows Maya Rudolph more, honestly, for popping up in shows that we watchand seeing her all over the place, probably Bridesmaids.So my wife is somebody who thatperson that you said maybe knows those people more for outside of SNL.My wife wouldn't know Bill Hader unless she went back and watched earlier seasons.If she saw Bill Hader popping up on something, she wouldn't be like, oh, it's Bill Hader.But she sees Maya Rudolph and my wife's like, oh, that's Maya Rudolph. I love Maya Rudolph.Yeah, exactly. Again, good play. My wife is like, I love that they got MayaRudolph to play the judge.Or in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Maya Rudolph played, what, Dionne Warwick?Who did she play? Yes. Yeah, wait. It wasn't –.Track 4[56:11] Yeah, and she's just like a standard. Also, I think about Big Mouth.The second you hear the Hormone Monster, she is hysterical.And I think Nick Kroll did an awesome job choosing Maya to be such a pivotalcharacter in that show, obviously.It's a cartoon, so it's on her face, but she doesn't need to be her face.So, yeah, she was Dionne Warwick. Dionne Warwick.Track 4[56:36] Yes. I thought it was that or Diana Ross or somebody like that.Track 4[56:41] Well, yeah, somebody like that. Yeah, but you could tell like in Big Mouth,she put her stamp or complete stamp on it.She, I'm drawing a blank right now.She popped up recently in something and I was like, oh, Maya was just so perfectin that. But that's what she does.Track 4[57:00] Maya just leaves an impression on the screen no matter what.If it's two minutes, if it's 30 minutes, Maya is going to leave such a great mark.Oh it was documentary now it's like my my favorite episodeof documentary now is test pattern whichis a take off of their lampooning andpaying uh homage to the talking head stop makingsense and maya's in that ondocumentary now and she she was wonderful init she was perfect she just makes such an impact rebeccajust no matter how long she's on the screen literally i'mlooking at at like her imdb right nowand she's in literally everything just asa voice as a name likewhether she just makes a short appearance i'm likelooking at this and i'm like oh wait yeah she was in that she was in specificallythe movie book smart one of my all-time favorite movies she's a voiceover andi could tell you the scene that she's in in my head because even though it'sjust her voice in a non-cartoon movie where there's a lot of big names and a lot of cameos.I remember the exact part she was in in that movie just by thinking about itand she's done a lot of cartoons and cartoons.Track

Well, they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night. And they blew up his house too. And the racket boys, they really did have a fight...a brutal one that lasted decades and saw Skinny Joey Merlino come out on top. He's not just America's next top crime podcaster and patreon star, he's also the one-time boss of the Philadelphia mafia and (allegedly!) still the don of Philly, if you believe the feds. Merlino, though, is no joke. Surviving by the skin of his teeth and dodging multiple assassinations in the 80's and 90's, he went from the son of shunned one-time underboss Chuckie Merlino to the top position when him and his crew of young gunners took on all comers.

Today, we've got a juicy combo for you: nightmare DIY renovations and the struggle to find authenticity in the dating world. Picture this: moving into a new condo only to find baseboards missing, floorboards not reaching the wall, and random objects super glued together. Oh, and let's not forget the surprise hole above the fridge cleverly hidden by a decorative item. Talk about a disaster! On top of that, we'll dive into the dating scene where it feels like everyone's trying to sell you a curated version of themselves. Authenticity? It's like finding a needle in a haystack. So, grab a cup of coffee and join us!! Stay tuned, it's always a wild ride! You never know what these two will say!!   ***CLEANSING BREATH*** Jess Corner - Animal Instincts  Philly's 'Chicken Man' declines PETA's vegan challenge after a 40-day rotisserie chicken binge South Philadelphia resident Alexander Tominsky was dubbed the "Chicken Man" after successfully eating an entire rotisserie chicken every day for 40 days straight. Since concluding his chicken run, Tominsky, 31, has begun spotlighting organizations that help provide food for those in need. On Wednesday, he promoted the South Philly Community Fridge on Twitter, asking his followers to donate to combat food insecurity. The South Philly Community Fridge later tweeted it had raised $858 that day.   Dana Corner - What the What?  https://www.centredaily.com/news/state/pennsylvania/article275414796.html For teddy bears and all other stuffed toys in Pennsylvania, it's not easy being green. In fact, it's impossible. Under a 62-year-old law, all stuffed toys distributed and sold in this state are required to be made from new material. But now a state senator is looking to lift a restriction that hamstrings manufacturers and retailers in the toy business.   “It is a pretty obscure law and people say ‘wait, what? We have a stuffed toy law?' In fact, we do,” he said “Obviously in 1961, they did not particularly contemplate people using recycled materials in stuffed toys.” But given that recycled material goes through the same extensive testing and safety review to ensure it meets all of the current industry standards that new materials do and couple that with people's desire to be environmentally conscious, he said it may well be time to update the law as the Toy Association has requested. Hickcox said her association would like to see this law updated by the end of this year. “Toy association members want to be good stewards of the environment while following all state laws and regulations,” Hickcox said. “This update will allow manufacturers and retailers to ensure a global supply chain while producing safe, sustainable stuffed toys.” Jess Rave - Used bookstores/record shops  Webster's of State College PA Vintage Shop, dirt cheap books, great albums, cafe, live music, vegan brunch on Sundays   Dana Rave - Dunkin' Iced Coffee Day is today May 23!  We saw a sign hanging in the Dunkin' of State College and it said Get a cup of Good Karma, $1 from every iced coffee sold today helps kids in local hospitals.  https://www.joyinchildhoodfoundation.org/ Founded in 2006, the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 organization powered by Dunkin' and the generosity of our franchisees, partners, employees and guests. Our mission is to provide the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness. We believe impact is felt most at the local level. Thanks to franchisees and brand employees who volunteer their time to identify the biggest needs in their communities; organize local fundraising and volunteer events; and conduct local grantmaking, we are able to maximize our impact for kids who need joy the most. LOCAL GRANTS The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood provides grants to hundreds of nonprofits – big and small – making a difference in the lives of kids battling hunger or illness across the country. Organizations include food pantries, children's hospitals, camps and programs designed to provide joy to those who need it most.    DOGS FOR JOY Through the Dogs for Joy program, the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation awards grants to children's hospitals to launch a new in-residence dog program or expand an existing program. In-residence dogs are trained service dogs and full-time employees of the hospital who bring comfort and joy to patients and their families.  TEEN PROM PROGRAM Hospitalized teens sometimes miss out on milestone moments. The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation provides grants to hospitals to provide a teen prom experience to pediatric patients ages 13-19 – from venue, to decor, signage, food and beverage, and more.
