That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick shines a light on Shia LaBeouf's two turns as Saturday Night Live host—both surprisingly strong, both likely his last. Packed with standout sketches and offbeat moments, the episodes featured Shia as a bizarrely delightful version of magician Doug Henning on a twisted Match Game, and as one half of a duo of underage knuckleheads scheming to score beer with Andy Samberg. There's also a nod to Indiana Jones and a solid lineup of SNL regulars including Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudolph, and Fred Armisen. Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories from the tapings and wraps things up with Shia's wild retelling of his late-night Walgreens arrest on The Late Show with David Letterman. A look back at a talented, unpredictable host who nailed it—and probably won't be back. [EP 124]

“FRED BITES” INT. WINNEBAGO - DAY The inside of a beat-up WINNEBAGO hurtles down HIGHWAY 101. FRED ARMISEN (40s, looking deceptively sweet, a glint of manic energy in his eyes) is behind the wheel, foot pressed firmly on the gas. The speedometer needle is way past the limit. In the passenger seat, a frazzled-looking BAND MEMBER #1 (30s, anxious) grips the dashboard. In the back, BAND MEMBER #2 (30s, spacey) stares blankly at the ceiling. BAND MEMBER #1 Slow down, Fred. Seriously. FRED (Grinning widely) Nah. Fred reaches down and cracks open a tall can of FOUR LOKO. The sickly sweet smell fills the cramped space. BAND MEMBER #1 Is that a Four Loko? It's barely noon! FRED (Taking a long swig) Shut your face. Road sodie. The Winnebago swerves violently. BAND MEMBER #1 YO! BE CAREFUL, DAWG! FRED (Chuckling) I'm… careful. In my own way. He lets out a wild laugh. Band Member #1 and #2 exchange terrified glances. BAND MEMBER #2 (Looking around) Hey, uh… why are there no windows in here? BAND MEMBER #1 Yeah man, what the— The Winnebago swerves again, even more dangerously this time. BAND MEMBER #1 AGHHHHH! CUT TO: INT. GENERIC OFFICE - DAY CONAN O'BRIEN (60s, unmistakable red hair) sits at a desk, a half-eaten slice of pizza the size of his head clutched in his hand. He shoves a massive bite into his mouth, cheeks bulging. OFF-SCREEN VOICE (V.O.) Meanwhile, in that other thing… OFF-SCREEN VOICE (V.O.) (CONT'D) Where rational thoughts go to die, apparently. OFF-SCREEN VOICE (V.O.) (CONT'D) Or just get really hungry. Two WRITERS (30s, sarcastic) watch Conan with a mixture of amusement and disgust. WRITER #1 I hope you croak. WRITER #2 You should choke on that, honestly. Conan finishes chewing, licks his greasy fingers with exaggerated relish. CONAN (Mouth full) I didn't. CUT BACK TO: EXT. PRIVATE BEACH - DAY The Winnebago screeches to a halt just off a pristine beach. SUNNI BLŪ (30s, cool and unimpressed) stands near the water, looking annoyed. FRED (Grinning, stepping out of the van) …hi Sunnï. SUNNI BLŪ What up… C-list show people… Plus two skags? Band Member #1 and #2 wave awkwardly from the open van door. FRED We got you a Winnebago! Surprise! SUNNI BLŪ …for what? Is this some kind of bit? Because it's not funny. FRED (Eyes gleaming) Don't you want to take… a closer look—? Sunni takes a step towards the van, a flicker of curiosity on their face. Suddenly, Fred's demeanor shifts. His sweet smile vanishes, replaced by a primal intensity. FRED (Snarling, voice low and menacing) —ah shit— Seth Meyers? He lunges at Sunni with surprising speed, grabbing a drumstick from behind his back and jamming it against their head. Sunni cries out, collapsing. FRED (Animalistic growl) JUST GET IN THE VAN! Fred and the band members quickly grab Sunni, who is now limp, and hoist them up. They carry Sunni, tied up with what looks suspiciously like floral garland, like a luau pig towards the Winnebago. They toss Sunni unceremoniously into the back. Fred hops back into the driver's seat, cracks open another tallboy, and chugs the rest of it, littering the empty can out the open door before starting the engine. SUNNI BLŪ (suddenly alert, from inside the van) YO! DID YOU JUST LITTER ON MY BEACH?! BAND MEMBER #1 (Looking horrified) Not cool, bro. BAND MEMBER #2 That was wrong, man. Seriously uncool. Fred slams on the brakes. He gets out of the Winnebago, a look of pure fury on his face. He stomps over to the discarded can, picks it up, and then gets back in the van, restarting the engine and speeding off down the road, even angrier than before.

Matt aka Stormageddon emerges from a pipe to surprise Case and Sam with the power up of a movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie! Can they make it through with only three continues? Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Overview In the podcast recording discussion titled "Another Pass at The Super Mario Bros Movie," hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, joined by guest Matt (Stormageddon), delve into their cinematic experiences of the 2023 film, praising its 92-minute runtime and appeal to both children and nostalgic adult fans. They highlight standout performances, notably Jack Black as Bowser and Anya Taylor-Joy as a proactive Princess Peach, while critiquing Chris Pratt's portrayal of Mario as merely average.

Riki Lindhome spent her 20s and 30s as one half of the musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates. Now that she is solidly in her 40s the comedian is finally going solo with a debut album ‘No Worries if Not,' which tackles the unique challenges of being a “middle aged” woman, as she put it. In this episode, Lindhome breaks down the process of turning real-life struggles into comedy songs and shares what it has been like to perform music for the first time without her longtime bandmate Kate Micucci. She also talks about the surreal experience of attending ‘SNL50' as a “plus one” with husband Fred Armisen, the moment in her career where she had to choose between pursuing ‘SNL' or sticking with Garfunkel and Oates, and how bizarre it was when the first movie she ever appeared in won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Big Fat Five: A Podcast Financially Supported by Big Fat Snare Drum
Episode 12 of The Drum Panel Welcome to The Drum Panel—a show where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions pertaining to all things DRUM. Today, we've got two fantastic guests joining the conversation: First up is Eric Leiderman. Eric is a producer at Late Night with Seth Meyers, where for years he oversaw the rotating drummer chair—regularly bringing in incredible drummers to fill in with the 8G Band when bandleader Fred Armisen couldn't be there. Eric's done a ton to elevate the drumming community, and we're stoked to have him on. We're also joined by Neal Daniels, an amazing drummer who's worked with artists like Liz Phair, LP, and Matchbox Twenty. Neal always brings thoughtful perspectives to the panel, and we're excited to have him back. Today we discuss: How can drummers authentically promote themselves online without feeling fake? How do we maintain our artistic voice while making a living playing pop gigs? Is recording yourself the key to growth? Should every drummer learn double pedal? How can drummers practice self-compassion? Which historic recording session would you have loved to witness? --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Let's get swept away by the Catalina Breeze! We're taking a swim in the chill waters of the Documentary Now's two-parter, "Gentle and Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee," starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. What may have started as a simple mockumentary based on 2013's "The History of the Eagles" came out as a hilarious and accurate survey of the various "soft-rock" sounds of the 1970s, and we're calling out all the connections we heard. Plus, we get into the band's true origin on SNL.

We're venturing to Garfagnana, Italy, in the Year of Our Lord 1347, for a raunchy comedy based on The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio. In the film, three medieval nuns lead a simple life in their convent until a virile young servant who's been forced into hiding by his angry lord appears, and the repressed nunnery erupts in a whirlwind of pansexual horniness, substance abuse, and wicked revelry. The film, written and directed by Jeff Baena, has an all-star cast, including Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, Dave Franco, Jemima Kirk, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, and Nick Offerman. Baena, who passed away earlier this year, was married to co-star Aubrey Plaza. In their review, the Catholic League called the film “pure trash.” But is the price of admission into this Garden of Earthly Delights worth the penance, or do we love the sin but hate the sinner? If you are in crisis, you should call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741).

Decoy Deloy is back with a hot dose of Music News, brought to you by Hello Merch. Whether you're looking to source, print, sell, or buy merch, HELLO has you covered. And this week at Hello it's all about HEAVY METAL. That's Heavy Metal, the debut solo album from Cameron Winter, frontman of Geese. Full of groovers, folkie ballads, and strange story songs, Cameron's label Partisan records says the album, “draws on both the chaos of the road and Winter's greater sense of existential dread.” Chaos and existential dread? Why does that sound so familiar? In other news, Portland's Project Pabst goes down July 26 and 27 at Waterfront Park. Who's playing? Decoy fills you in. And to close, on Tuesday, February 25th, Tim Heidecker and The Very Good Band came to Phoenix, Arizona to play The Crescent Ballroom with special guest Fred Armisen. Decoy shares his thoughts about the gig and explains why Heidecker's music is so surprising.

Dianne is out on a very special assignment so Chris is joined by guest host (and real-life SAG voter) Ian Brodsky to discuss everything from the future of James Bond to Mike White's extremely specific references. Featuring our predictions for Season 3 of The White Lotus on HBO (uh, yes, we're going to talk about what's going on with the “Will They? Won't They” Brothers). But first! So much streaming, including: The best moments from the NBC SNL50 special (also Chevy Chase was there). Our undying love for the just-wrapped first season of ABC's High Potential. A ratings update on The Night Agent and Ian's elevator pitch for why Black Doves should be your next Netflix spy fix. And some big surprises from some even bigger personalities behind some of the world's biggest IP: Kathleen Kennedy plans to step aside at Star Wars and the Broccoli family finally relinquishes the keys to the James Bond kingdom (we're pitching our Bonds for Bezos, of course). Correction: Michael Wilson is Barbara Broccoli's half brother, not stepbrother. Stepbrothers were just on the mind this week! ———

At my invitation, Steve Albini appeared on Kreative Kontrol at least once a year since its inception in 2013. We started a tradition where we spoke just ahead of annual, poverty alleviation Letters to Santa live events, such as the gala they're holding on November 23, 2024, at the Brookfield Zoo Chicago: Discovery Center, featuring Jeff Tweedy, Fred Armisen, and Kim Deal among others. To maintain the tradition and spirit of the talks we had, I plan to feature archival interviews I conducted with Steve over the years, presenting them here ahead of Letters to Santa events for as long as possible. Here's the second radio interview we ever did. It took place in the early summer of 2007 and was ostensibly about the then new Shellac album, Excellent Italian Greyhound, and touched upon local radio fame, Martina Navratilova, people who film concerts instead of participating in them, Canada, SCTV, John Peel, and more.Support vish on Patreon!

MLB's All Star Game, President Biden has Covid, Dance Off: Corey Feldman v. Fred Durst, TV Emmy nominations, Rolling Stone's worst movie sequels, Katy Perry's new song, Ozzy hates Britney Spears, Jim's Pick: Assassination songs, and Drew's workout routine. Drew's trying to get buff, but he's not doing so well with the push-ups. If you care about uniforms, you probably hated the MLB All Star Game. Slash did a sweet cover of Papa Was a Rolling Stone at the (Kirk) Gibson Garage. Drew likes Split Enz. Drew likes Pearl Jam. Drew really loves Pearl Jam covering "I Got You" by Split Enz live with Neil and Tim Finn. Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa fame was kicked off of a flight for having a bum knee and buying two tickets. Then, Terrell Davis showed up on GMA to talk about being booted from a flight. Something's going on and somebody's not telling me something... Rolling Stone writer Alan Sepinwall gave his woke opinions about the Emmy nominations and snubs. Can Rolling Stone be any more full of itself? Fred Armisen has been secretly married for 2 years?! And she gave birth right after they started dating? That seems par for the course for Fred. Katy Perry dropped a new music video. She looks better than ever & the lyrics are as trite as ever. Ozzy Osbourne is fed up with Britney Spears spinning, Sharon almost gets lost in the couch, and Marc wants to bone Jack. Joy Mode brings you the Bonerline. Use promo code DREW. Call or text 209-66-Boner to communicate with the show. President Biden admits he would step down for a medical condition. Tom Mazawey chimes in on the MLB All Star game being boring and the uniforms sucking, The Detroit Tigers trading Tarik Skubal, and then Tom's phone gives out...Typical, Maz. Rolling Stone's 50 worst movie sequels of all time. Which franchise dominated the list? Joe Biden tested positive for Covid. Corey Feldman celebrated his birthday by having a dance off with Fred Durst. Jim's Picks: Songs about assassinations. John Hinkley Jr remains the biggest troll on the internet. Matthew Perry was all over sex sites looking for "friends." We are still waiting for answers from Kimberly Cheatle. Donald Trump is selling assassination shoes. Thomas Matthew Cooks seemed to have an all access pass before he tried to assassinate Trump. His former classmate is spilling about how much he hated politicians.
